Smashing Success in SF: Anticapitalist Mayday Attack –Tactical Lessons Communique–
This is one communique to help us draw lessons from the successful surprise action in the evening of May 1 that targeted 3 blocks of San Francisco's luxury shopping mecca and central hub of commerce and wealth. Other communiques have already been released or will be released shortly and together we can try to piece together what happened and what we can learn from it.
This is one communique to help us draw lessons from the successful surprise action in the evening of May 1 that targeted 3 blocks of San Francisco's luxury shopping mecca and central hub of commerce and wealth. Other communiques have already been released or will be released shortly and together we can try to piece together what happened and what we can learn from it.
There is no use detailing here the specifics of what occurred during those eight or nine minutes. Corporate news coverage of the attacks has been relatively accurate and it is recommended that interested folks watch the following videos:
This action carried no demands. Its choice of geography and timing speak for themselves. It is safe to say that it inflicted the most property destruction San Francisco has seen in a very long time in an area usually deemed to be off limits to street actions and demonstrations. There were no arrests and upwards of $50,000 worth of damage was unleashed in a controlled and methodical manner that required intense cooperation among participants. However, this monetary figure is not what is important.
We draw three main lessons from this action that must be shared with all our comrades. The police and security forces are most definitely trying to learn from the blow they just received and we need to draw our own lessons in order to make this a true success.
The action was based on three hypothesis which all proved correct:
1. We can set a time and a place of our choosing even if that place is in the heart of 'enemy territory'. We do not need to act as parasites on other marches or demonstrations. This must be evaluated on a case by case basis but in general it seems that the risks to ourselves and others outweigh any advantages that 'breaking away' from another group's event gives us. This action had a large buffer of time and space from any other May Day demonstrations and was able to mobilize the necessary numbers to quickly complete the tasks before once again disappearing.
2. For actions such as this, there is no reason that any aspect of the organizing should be done online or through any electronic medium such as the phone. A mass call to action posted on all of our favorite websites months in advance is not necessary. Spreading word of a serous planned action through face to face communication helps build vital personal connections, lets people know that participants are serious about what they want to do and avoids the easiest and most common form of state surveillance. In this case the police were completely caught by surprise even though they had mobilized large tactical riot teams hours earlier and blocks away in standard preparation for the annual immigrant rights mobilization.
3. We have the crews with the experience, dedication and, most importantly, trust to pull this kind of thing off. This was not done by one small crew acting alone. It was a collective effort that drew in many groups of friends and comrades and this was necessary for its success. We need to trust our networks and communities and foster the kind of relationships we can rely on when an action like this is necessary.
Some of this is specific to those of us in the Bay Area but there are lessons here for everyone in the struggle. The similar and simultaneous action in Milwaukee illustrates that these are lessons that reveal the general state of liberatory anti capitalist activity in the United States during this particular historical moment.
Like fishermen turned pirates off the horn of Africa who have hijacked a primary artery of global capital as they defend their lives and communities, mass coordinated anti capitalist attacks across Greece that illustrate how an anarchist initiated insurrection can bring a state to its knees, or crews of friends taking over the streets of downtown Oakland in resistance to police violence, the May Day mutiny in San Francisco has revealed weak points for us to take note of and exploit. The illusion of an invincible corporate state able to crush or undermine all its enemies has been shattered. The forces of repression have no real defense against our evolving rebellions.
Now is the time to reflect and be safe. Celebrate this victory but keep your lips sealed and reaffirm your connections with those around you.

- Chrysler Uses 3-D to Make Powertrain Manufacturing Safer, More Efficient
- Powertrain Driving 3-D Adoption
- Not Just for Engineers
- Validating Cycle Times
Chrysler uses 3-D modeling software to optimize powertrain-manufacturing processes -- before the first piece of equipment is installed.
In the midst of an epic revival, Chrysler Group LLC has been launching new vehicles, engines and transmissions at a furious pace.
The automaker has turned to 3-D modeling software to help its manufacturing operations keep up -- safely and cost-effectively.
The software enables Chrysler to assimilate the principles of its continuous-improvement methodology -- World Class Manufacturing, or WCM -- early on in the planning process, Chrysler powertrain-manufacturing executive Brian Harlow explained Monday.
"Basically we have a more proactive form of WCM," Harlow told attendees of the Center for Automotive Research's Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, Mich. "We're able to do kaizens to make improvements related to our [WCM focus areas] even before any equipment arrives at the plant."
Using the 3-D software, Chrysler can design manufacturing processes that are safer and more ergonomically friendly for operators.
For example, WCM calls for operators to receive parts and components in the "golden zone," a 60-degree window that is comfortable for operators and minimizes non-value-added walking.
"With 3-D, before production ever begins, we're able to determine where racks and materials have to be for every operator in order to bring parts to the golden zone," Harlow said.
Harlow estimates that the automaker now can conduct 90% to 95% of its job-safety risk analyses "in the virtual world."

This may all seem completely inane and boring, but it's
(Incidentally? I just checked Wikipedia for the difference between 'burglary' and 'robbery'. Apparently 'robbery' involves actually taking something from the victim by force, whereas burglary is breaking into a house when the people aren't home. You're welcome for that little dose of education!!)
I have a theory that we were burgled by hipsters. Because they really didn't take very much. They must have been horribly disappointed that they went to as much effort as they did, because to be perfectly honest, we have pretty shitty electronics. Both our TVs are old school CRT models. They didn't take any of the jewellery or Dad's car. And apparently four year old Toshiba laptops aren't worth stealing (THANK GOD. As much as I complain about my laptop being crappy, I'm so relieved it's not gone).
Things that *are* worth stealing?
- My mum's brand new school issue Macbook Air.
- An iPod Touch.
- My SLR.
- My zoom lens.
They left the kit lens sitting on the bench in the kitchen. I'm not sure whether the mould of my teeth scared them off, or if (being hipsters, as per my theory) they went "AHAHAHA, $100 crappy kit lens? No thank you!".
Oh, and they also took $27 in cash. And possibly my old Olympus point-and-shoot camera because I can't find it anywhere. Although I don't know why they'd have taken that. It's six years old, and scratched as hell because I dropped it a bunch of times.
The police came round last night and took a bunch of photos and did some fingerprinting, but not surprisingly, the burglars wore gloves.
So all we can do now is get the back door repaired, and hope the insurance company process things quickly.
Oh, and to the burglar who went through my backpack looking for stuff? I hope you enjoyed all the snotty, cold-germ-ridden tissues that I forgot to empty out after my class on Thursday night!!
PS. I woke up this morning with a pounding headache courtesy of my dental splint. $700 well spent...

Nosler says that beginning with the 30 caliber 180-gr. Ballistic Tips (and larger), the jacket's profile is changed or upgraded to a much stronger contour similar to the AccuBond (shown below). The lead core is also hardened over the 165-gr. and below bullets.
Lighter weight bullets like 165-gr. 30 caliber and lower (shown below) do not have the thicker contour which starts in the middle of the shell and goes down to the base.
In summary, one might suggest that the 180-gr. Ballistic Tip is simply a non-bonded AccuBond.
* Standard bullets generally perform better on deer in lighter to mid-weight sizes.
* Ballistic Tipped rounds are the exception to the rule as outlined in the opening post. Reported problems of a BT blowing up too quickly are generally associated with too light of a bullet.
I like a bullet to perform two things in my 30-06:
1. Violent expansion / shock.
2. Plenty of penetration for a pass-through.
Nosler makes 4 great rounds to accomplish any North American task - listed in order of toughness:
1. Ballistic Tip
2. Solid Base
3. AccuBond
4. Partition
* Light skinned / boned deer: 180-gr. Ballistic Tip / Solid Base / AccuBond
* Heavy skinned / boned elk: 180-gr. Partition / AccuBond

You can use any HSDPA modem, as long as it supports the 850mhz frequency (as that's what Telstra use). For maximum speed, make sure it supports 7.2mbit or greater - most of the cheaper USB HSDPA modems only support 3.6mbit, which is nice, but NextG supports 7.2mbit and even 14.4mbit (but those modems are only sold by Telstra as no-one else in the world has a network that fast! I think).
The other caveat is that many of the branded modems are SIM locked to that provider: e.g: a 3 dongle will probably be locked to 3. There are ways to unlock it using software, but I'm not sure how to do it. Hopefully another MacTalker will help you and me by divulging such money saving information, haha
But yeah, if it's SIM unlocked and supports HSDPA 850mhz - all you need to do is put in your Telstra SIM and away you go.

|Jeffs Drop Road Game at Keene State, 70-60
Jeffs Drop Road Game at Keene State, 70-60
AMHERST, MA – The Amherst College women's basketball team dropped their third game of the season this evening at non-conference opponent, Keene State College. Despite the Lord Jeff's second highest scoring output of the season, they were unable to topple the owls on the road, falling 70-60.
Amherst drops to 1-3 on the young season with the loss, but there were many bright points to be taken from the game, as junior tri-captain Shaina Pollack (Great Neck, NY) played very well, scoring 13 points.
Leading the Jeffs on the offensive end of the floor were junior tri-captain Stephanie Reiff (Hinsdale, IL) and sophomore Kerry O'Laughlin (Stow, MA) who each dropped in 15 points on the night. O'Laughlin was a monster on the boards, corralling 10 rebounds, to register an impressive double-double.
Sophomore guard Michele Boudreau (Readsboro, VT) scored 18 points for the Owls in the win, up a dozen from her 5.8 average last season, while three other Keene State players scored in double digits.
The Owls from Keene State remain unbeaten with the win, moving to 3-0. Amherst has a few days off before they travel up the road to host Springfield College this weekend for the Pioneer Valley Classic. They are slated to face Springfield Friday at 6:00 p.m. and Western New England Saturday at 1:00 p.m.BOX SCORE

MOBILE, Ala. — Bucs general manager Mark Dominik is genuinely concerned about more growing pains that could be suffered at Raymond James Stadium again next season.
Bucs fans can expect the youth movement to continue with 10 draft picks and almost no involvement in free agency expected in 2010.
The centerpiece of the turnaround is in place with quarterback Josh Freeman. But Dominik urged fans to have more patience with a team that finished 3-13 under first-year coach Raheem Morris.
"It's going to be somewhat of a process," Dominik said. "I think we took a big step last year, and I think the fans are starting to see some of that stuff pay off for Josh Freeman. It's good to know you have a quarterback now who is a big piece. You see at the Senior Bowl, there are maybe 16 teams here saying, 'We've got to find our quarterback.' It's a hard thing to find."
Dominik has no plans to abandon ship when it comes to building through the draft.
Tampa Bay owns five of the top 99 selections in April's draft, including the third overall and two second-round choices.
"We're going to look in free agency. But as I studied, I'm a firm believer we're going to build this thing from the draft," Dominik said. "People can say, 'Hey, could they spend a lot of money in free agency?' I don't think we're going to be big players in free agency because I really believe you build through the draft.
"You sit back and look at the Indianapolis Colts and how Bill Polian always built his franchises. Or you look at the Pittsburgh Steelers or the New England Patriots. Those teams go through and they either trade for players or maybe once in awhile, they buy a free agent. But the teams that have success in the National Football League — Pittsburgh, Baltimore, New England and the Colts, it's the draft."
For the first time since the second-ending loss to Atlanta nearly a month ago, Dominik spoke publicly about a wide range of topics Tuesday at the Senior Bowl.
•On why Morris was retained after a 3-13 record, the Bucs' worst since 1991.
"I feel like Raheem did a very, very good job of keeping this football team upbeat," Dominik said. "I think that was very important. And I feel like Raheem did a fantastic job calling the defense,"
•On why vice president Joel Glazer felt compelled to release a statement confirming Morris would return in 2010 even though he was under contract.
"I think there were a lot of false reports out there that they felt were unfair," Dominik said. "So I think that's why the statement came out; it was to make sure people understood what direction we were headed, that were staying with the same plan we started 12 months ago."
No topic was off limits. Dominik said Morris will continue to run the defense and is excited to see Greg Olson have an offseason to install his offense, which still will be run-first.
Without reading too much between the lines, Dominik made it clear that the Bucs could part ways with their starting receivers — free agent Antonio Bryant and underachieving Michael Clayton, who caught 16 passes for 230 yards and a touchdown after signing a five-year, $26 million contract.
"He's under contract and we'll see how it goes," Dominik said. "There are no hurries or anything from us in terms of his situation. The ball is in Michael's court. It's on Michael to see how his offseason goes and see how he prepares mentally and physically, but really it's up to Michael."
Mostly, Dominik outlined reasons for Tampa Bay fans to be optimistic: a solid core of experienced players, the opportunity to add more in the draft — and mostly Freeman.
As a rookie, Freeman went 3-6 as a rookie starter with 10 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Dominik said Bucs fans should be excited about their franchise quarterback.
"I'll give you a week. Why don't you guys poll the other GMs about Freeman and how he played and I'll bet you those people will say, 'I was impressed,' " Dominik said. "He was 3-6 as a starter, that's reality. He could've been 2-7 if someone makes a kick. But he could've been 6-3 or 7-2. … I think there's a lot to be excited about with Josh. There's a young guy who's going to be 22 years old that a lot of teams in the National Football League would love to have and we're excited he's a Tampa Bay Buc.
"As (much) as the position is critiqued, it's nice to have one."

This product has been retired from our catalog and is no longer for sale. This page is made available for those looking for datasheets and the simply curious.
Description: This motor from Pololu has a long (0.365" or 9.27 mm), D-shaped metal output shaft that matches the Pololu wheel 42x19mm and 32x7mm. The brass faceplate has two mounting holes threaded for M1.6 screws (1.6mm diameter, 0.35mm thread pitch), or you can use the mounting bracket or extended mounting bracket, which are specifically designed to securely mount the gearmotor while enclosing the exposed gears. We recommend the extended mounting bracket for wheels with recessed hubs, such as the Pololu wheel 42x19mm.
Hi, if anyone want a Eagle lib with PCB footprint for this motor, email-me. Useful for robot design.
could you send me that
can I build a balancing robot with this motors?
can i drive them with 9 volts?
For anyone who was interested, the force on this unit (at 6V) comes out to about 0.0282 Nm.
how much weight it can handle? I mean in 4wd system how much weight it can push forward?
man simply cancel inches of torque with radius of your wheel. when you have the force this is where newton comes in for m :)
This depends on a lot of other factors. The only way to figure this out is to dust off a physics book and calculate it.
i think you are right sir. but what i meant to get some info about practical values. otherwise i can do the calculations.
It provides 4 oz/in of torque. That should be enough to get the job done. I apologize if I'm missing something.
its 4 oz(in) since T=rF :)
I think the torque is off a decimal, maybe it should be 26oz.in?
If you look at the same motors with higher RPM gearboxes they all have higher torque than this motor…seems to be off an order of magnitude.
Id like to know if any of the swivel clamps will fit this motor. On the recommended products section there is only one mount for it. Is there another one provided by sparkfun that will fit? Thanks
is the 430 rpm for the motor or for the shaft after the gearbox?
Are those gears metal?
I wouldn't call that a long shaft. I need at least 1" long to mount wheels directly.
I have a 6V, 300 ma power supply. What would happen if I used this, compared to a 6 (or 5) V, 1000 ma power supply for this motor?
The motor draws as much current as it needs. When it stalls out, it draws its max. It's max current draw is 360mA.
Does anyone have any experience with feedback of this motor? What is the backlash like in the output shaft (how many deg can you wiggle the shaft w/o turning the motor)? Is there space enough to get a hall effect (sparkfun variety in there for gear tooth counting?)
Has anyone tried swapping out the motor, and using the gearbox with another motor? Is that possible? I'm not sure how they are connected or what the diameter of the motor shaft is (Not the D-shaped shaft, but the shaft coming directly out of the motor itself)
How would I find the speed of these motors? km/h. using the 32x7mm wheels. Which the voltage is being controlled by PWM on the arduino.
Sure, with a 32 mm wheel, 32 X Pi = 100 mm. 100 mm X 440 rpm = 44000 mm per minute, or 44 meters per minute, or 2640 meters per second, or 2.640 km/h.
sorry, second to last i meant, 2640 meters per hour.
How can I control this motor with an Audrino, if I wanted to connect it to a analog pin?
No reviews yet.

Dear Wendy Updates: "Craigslist Caution" Responds
Hey, are you someone I've given advice to in the past? Do you have an update on your situation you're willing to share? Email me at {encode="[email protected]" title="[email protected]"} with a link to the original post, and let me know whether you followed the advice and how you're doing now. Sometimes people write to me with an idea of what they want to hear and when they don't hear just that, well, they aren't very happy … and sometimes they let me know it. Today we hear from Craigslist Caution, the woman who occasionally catches her husband perusing the Casual Encounters section of Craigslist when he's feeling sexually rejected and is looking for new friends. Despite even catching him emailing someone from the site, she still wasn't sure whether she should be worried or just chalk this up to "curiosity." I told her there was definitely something to be worried about, but that was not the answer she wanted to hear and she had some choice words for me. Read 'em and weep, after the jump.
Thanks for your advice … But it wasn't as helpful as I thought it'd be. Sounds a bit judgmental to say the least. I'm not a person to throw problems under the rug. My husband and I have dated for eight years and have been married for three. In it, we've encountered and survived family problems, relationship problems, and have only continued to grow for the better. I trust him and his actions.
We are college sweethearts and with that comes change, learning, and growing. I hold a great job, own my own business, and am pretty much self-made. I don't shy away from problems and from facing them. I know this is a "red" flag, but truth be told, I'm not going to let him perusing some ads for arousal ruin my marriage. I don't hold rigorous standards for cheating. I know where his heart is and I know where mine is. And I trust him and that he is telling the truth. What reason would I have to lie if I knew otherwise?
He's not perfect and neither am I. And our imperfections make us perfect. Unlike some people, I view these difficult opportunities as moments for growth and betterment. Not for judgment. Guess you don't.
It's one thing to give your opinion and advice about someone's marriage when you aren't asked; it's another thing altogether when someone writes to you and asks, point blank, whether she should be worried. For the record, CC, I genuinely hope things work out for you. And I actually do see this situation as one you could grow from — together, even! — but you have to quit pretending there isn't a real problem here. And the root of the problem isn't even about potential cheating. It's about your husband turning to strangers on the internet when he feels sexually and emotionally rejected by you instead of discussing with you what's bothering him. This is about working on communication in your relationship and digging a little past the surface to find out what's really going on. I hope you'll put in the effort and I wish you both the best of luck.
If you're someone I've given advice to in the past, I'd love to hear from you, too. Email me at {encode="[email protected]" title="[email protected]"} with a link to the original post, and let me know whether you followed the advice and how you're doing now.
Follow me on Twitter and get relationship tips and updates on new Dear Wendy columns!

By Seth Borenstein, Associated Press
HOUSTON At the international space station, it was one small sip for man and a giant gulp of recycled urine for mankind.
Astronauts aboard the space station celebrated a space first on Wednesday by drinking water that had been recycled from their urine, sweat and water that condenses from exhaled air. They said "cheers," clicked drinking bags and toasted
"The taste is great," American astronaut Michael Barratt said. Then as Russian
He said the water came with labels that said: "drink this when real water is over 200 miles away."
The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut outposts on the moon and
It's also crucial as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to six.
The recycling system had been brought up to the space station last November by space shuttle Endeavour, but it couldn't be used until samples were tested back on
So when it came time to actually drink up, NASA made a big deal of it.
The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in two NASA centers that worked on the system.
"This is something that had been the stuff of science fiction," Barratt said before taking a sip.
NASA deputy space shuttle manager LeRoy Cain called it "a huge milestone."
On the Russian side of the space station, moisture in the air — not urine — is turned into drinking water.
The new system takes the combined urine of the crew from the toilet, moves it to a big tank, where the water is boiled off, and the vapor collected. The rest of contaminants — the yucky brine in the urine — is thrown away, said Marybeth Edeen, the space station's national lab manager who was in charge of the system.
The water vapor is mixed with water from air condensation, then it goes through filters, much like those put on home taps, Edeen said.
When six crewmembers are aboard it can make about six gallons from urine in about six hours, Edeen said.
Some people may find the idea of drinking recycled urine distasteful, but it is also done on Earth, but with a lot longer time between urine and tap, Edeen said. In space, it takes about a week, she said.
The technology NASA developed for this system has already been used for quick water purification after the 2004 Asian tsunami, Edeen said.
Wednesday's urine celebration included subtle bathroom humor.
"We are happy to have this water work through the system — we're happy to have it work through our systems," Barratt said.

Minutes for ASEF Executive Council Meeting November 10, 2008
Present: Drs. Saunders, Schleyer, Steinberg, LaRossa, Asbury, Goldfine, Stinnett, Dalinka, Kefalides, Meadows, MacGregor and Rachael Berget.
Emeritus Status for Research Track Faculty
A guest, Dr. Brian Salzberg, was present. Dr. Salzberg described the fact that Research Track faculty do not currently qualify to be designated as Emeritus upon retirement. Dr. Salzberg would like for ASEF to propose a resolution to the Medical Faculty Senate that would allow Research Track Faculty members to be designated as Emeritus. Dr. Salzberg said that these faculty members have no real job security (because their salaries, and continued employment, are contingent upon retention of research funding) and have given years of service to the institution, so they are deserving of the Emeritus designation.
Dr. Saunders said that this debate comes down to the requirement for scholarship. The University's rule regarding Emeritus designation states that it is only available to members of the Standing Faculty, and Research Track and Academic Clinician Track faculty members are members of the Associated Faculty. Dr. Saunders believes that many people on "the other side of Spruce Street" would not approve of giving the "Emeritus" title to AC faculty, who do not have the requirement to publish or do research to get promoted.
Dr. Saunders said that ASEF might sponsor a resolution that states that Research Track faculty have to meet nearly all of the same COAP requirements as Tenure Track faculty. Dr. Steinberg said that he thought it would be prudent to discuss this resolution with the Provost before sponsoring it publicly. He said that ASEF might want to review all of the rights and privileges of the Research Track before proceeding.
Dr. Saunders stated that, originally, Research Track faculty members were hired as collaborators for Tenure Track faculty. During former Medical School Dean Kelly's tenure, the clinical revenue was not sufficient to hire Tenure-Track faculty members into strictly research positions. So, the Research Track was constituted so that a person could be released from the University if his/her research funding was lost. Dr. Salzberg added that, under normal circumstances, Research Track faculty are also excluded from directing a student's thesis committee.
Dr. Stinnett stated that one important element of the issue currently before ASEF is whether ASEF invites other groups to discuss this change with it. Dr. Stinnett then moved that ASEF sponsor the resolution that had been discussed earlier, and Drs. Schleyer and Kefalides seconded his motion. Dr. Steinberg said that he would vote against this motion because he believes that members of ASEF's Executive Council should talk to others first before sponsoring this resolution. He said that ASEF needed more information before doing anything.
Dr. Saunders said that this is an action that does not require a Faculty Handbook change. He said that the Provost can make this decision. Dr. Goldfine suggested that Dr. Saunders also speak to Dean Rubinstein before acting upon this resolution. Only after speaking to the Dean about this topic, and getting the information it needs should the ASEF Executive Council draft this resolution and present it to the Medical Faculty Senate. This plan passed with all "Ayes".
Dr. Saunders said that he would also discuss this matter with Dr. Harvey Rubin.
ASEF 2008 Emeritus Dinner
Dr. Saunders reported that he had gotten a number of e-mails and has had conversations about the 2008 Emeritus Dinner. He recounted these observations and recommendations from his correspondents: 1) attendance wasn't good – we had 50 or 60 for the reception and only 38 for the dinner; 2) the venue for the evening's program (the BRB auditorium) was too huge for the number of attendees; 3) we need to advertise the event more thoroughly; 4) we need to start "talking up" the event earlier, like in August; and 5) perhaps we should do away with a keynote speaker. Dr. Steinberg emphasized the importance of having the Dean in attendance at this event.
Dr. Meadows stated that ASEF should have a speaker that faculty want to hear, that we have to have "bread and butter topics". She said that people come to hear about things that affect them, such as their money or their healthcare. Dr. Steinberg said that the speaker had to be vetted more thoroughly and discussed in advance with the ASEF Executive Council.
Dr. Asbury stated that he had 3 competing events that night; he said that ASEF should plan our dinner for late September or early October, before the academic year gets so busy. Dr. MacGregor stated that the dinner should be advertised as a chance to see old friends and ASEF members should invite friends personally to attend this dinner. He also suggested advertising the dinner in The Daily Pennsylvanian and in The Almanac. Dr. Saunders said that we have to start the whole process of planning and advertising the dinner earlier next year and Dr. Kefalides echoed the sentiment that the selection of the speaker is critical.
Global Health Programs Inquiry
Dr. Saunders read an e-mail that he received from Dr. Neal Nathanson about an inquiry that Dr. Nathanson's global health programs office had recently gotten. Dr. Nathanson asked Dr. Saunders if Penn would be willing to send faculty to international medical schools as visiting professors or consultants for brief periods of time. Dr. Gail Morrison had suggested that Dr. Nathanson contact Dr. Saunders about the potential for Emeritus faculty to take advantage of this offer. Dr. Saunders said that he thought that ASEF should enthusiastically endorse this activity.
Replacement of At-Large Council Member
A number of potential candidates was discussed. The names of those persons will only be included in the minutes after they have been contacted to determine whether they are interested in serving as an At-Large Council Member.
Retirement Community Survey
Dr. Saunders talked about next steps for the data ASEF has collected thus far from its Retirement Community Survey. He listed several things that ASEF should do to begin the process of floating the idea of a Penn faculty retirement community the administration: 1) Identify Board of Trustee members who are real estate developers; 2) Contact the chair of the Board of Trustees; 3) Contact President Gutmann; and 4) Contact the Medical Faculty Senate and the University Faculty Senate to advocate for this project.
Dr. Meadows said that she thought that ASEF should have some idea as to how big a project this retirement community would be prior to advocating for it. Dr. Saunders said that John Trojanowski really started this idea. Another interesting possibility for this retirement community is that the residents could be potential research subjects for Dr. Paul Rozen, who is a gerontologist in the Psychology Department. Dr. Saunders also said that viable retirement community should have between 200 and 250 units in it.
Dr. Saunders stated that he would like to get Penn Executive Vice President Craig Carnoli involved in these discussions. ASEF would have to sell this to the institution as something that is morally and ethically responsible to do, because it would definitely be more profitable for the university to put office space on this land.
Post-Baccalaureate Mentoring Sessions
Dr. Kefalides and Dr. MacGregor reported that they had participated in one of the Post-Baccalaureate Mentoring sessions. They had 19 students, who had lots of questions. They said that they had an animated discussion with these students on what it means to be a doctor. Dr. Saunders said that program director Sally Carty told him that she was very happy with that session. The next session is scheduled for November 18, 2008.
AROHE (Association of Retirement Organizations in Higher Education) Meeting
Dr. Saunders reported that his poster got moved to the main session of this meeting and that AROHE members had voted him onto their board. One of the ideas that Dr. Saunders brought back from the meeting is an organization newsletter. If ASEF does this, should it be print or electronic? Dr. Schleyer suggested that it would be much more cost effective to post the newsletter as a webpage. Dr. MacGregor added that he thought that a newsletter is a great way to stimulate interest and get people involved. Drs. MacGregor, Goldfine and Saunders will revisit this topic at their next Committee meeting.
PASEF Database
PASEF is currently working on creating its own list/database of members, similar to the one that ASEF already has.
ASEF Office Space
Dr. Asbury stated that Earl Marsh told him that there is space available on the ground floor of the Gates Building. The Gates Building would be ideal, but the 4th or 5th floor of the Maloney Building would be OK, too.
Sayre Clinic as Emeritus Volunteer Site
Dr. Schleyer asked about the Sayre School site. He said that ASEF Council Members should talk to Dr. Bernie Johnson about what is going on at that site. Dr. Schleyer said that Dr. McCarthy said that ASEF should no longer advertise the Sayre School/Clinic as a viable volunteer site because Sayre will not allow faculty members without their own malpractice insurance to voluntarily practice there.
Programming Committee – Dr. Goldfine said that his committee is thinking of having TIAA-CREF come in and talk about retirement. He would like to have them come in and do a presentation aimed at ASEF members. Dr. Goldfine is thinking of hosting this in January or February 2009.
ASEF Luncheon Program
Dr. Kefalides said that Dr. Don LaRossa is the November 2008 luncheon speaker. Dr. Alan Pack will be the speaker in December, and Dr. John Trojanowski will be a speaker in 2009. Dr. Meadows suggested that ASEF should ask the people that attend Dr. Kefalides' Luncheon Program to fill out a questionnaire to find out what they want from ASEF.
The next ASEF Executive Council meeting will be held on Monday, December 8, 2008.

Rachael J. Berget, M.Ed.

Abstract: From the perspective of science and technology the period
from the late 1960s marked the dawn of a number of revolutionary
discoveries and inventions, such as the microprocessor and the technology
of recombinant DNA. These and other developments, which as a rule
originated outside Sweden, would with time open up a vast space of
opportunities for industry and business as well as for other parts of
society, and they would play key roles in the painful process of structural
change in the Swedish economy during the decades that were to come.Against
this background, Swedish state actors faced tremendous new challenges in
their efforts to influence science- and technology-related activities in
the country. The purpose of this paper is to explore how the Swedish state
attempted to respond to these new challenges, and how state actors sought
new ways to legitimate their actions – at a time when the myths of
neutrality and welfare appeared more and more to be losing much of their
attraction and broad acceptance.

Family Outings
Swim with sharks, feed massive stingrays, or just marvel at the marine life from habitats as diverse as Africa, the Amazon, and even Atlantis, at the Long Island Aquarium & Exhibition Center.
Visitors to the aquarium can experience the Western hemisphere's largest all-living coral reef display, which holds more than one million gallons of water.
The Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center, formerly known as Atlantis Marine World Aquarium, is no ordinary aquarium. This 3.2-acre, full-scale aquatic haven and newly opened exhibition center in downtown Riverhead along the scenic Peconic River immerses visitors in a journey full of adventure, education, and wonder. Named among the Top 10 Best Aquariums for Kids (nationally!) by Parents magazine, the aquarium changed its name this summer when it celebrated its 11th anniversary and completed a $24 million expansion that includes the new exhibition center and the Hyatt Place East End hotel.
The ambience inside the Long Island Aquarium allows visitors to feel as though they've been transported to the wondrous Lost City of Atlantis. The indoor exhibits give you the opportunity to experience environments as diverse as the Amazon Rainforest, Africa's Lake Malawi, and the Long Island Coast, while the outdoor exhibits featured along the banks of the Peconic River bring to life ancient ruins, tropical lagoons, and the shores of South Africa.
Get up close and personal with marine life from all over the world, including sharks, penguins, sea lions, giant octopuses, piranhas, sting rays, and crustaceans of all natures. Kids can hand-feed massive stingrays, bass, and even dogfish all year 'round, or head over to the Touch Tank for a hands-on experience with marine life like starfish, clams, and hermit crabs. And don't miss the popular Sea Lion Show, featuring the many talents of the aquarium's California sea lions (several shows daily).
Plan in advance to sign up for the aquarium's Aquatic Adventures, which include diving with sharks and snorkeling with stingrays.
Connected to the Long Island Aquarium is the new Long Island Exhibition Center. Since opening July 1, the center grants guests access to exotic birds and butterflies from vastly different global regions.
Out-of-town visitors can stay at the newly built, 100-room-and-suite Hyatt Place East End Hotel, located steps away from the aquarium and exhibition hall. Call 631-574-8008 x277 for more information and reservations.
The Shark Dive is an experience like no other -- sign up and you'll be immersed underwater in the 120,000-gallon Lost City of Atlantis Shark Exhibit ($155).
Activities change with the seasons. From May through October, visitors can hop aboard the Atlantis Explorer, where children can become Scientists for a Day and take an interactive boat tour to discover the ecological marvels hidden within Long Island's waterways ($18.50; $5 children ages 2 and younger).
On weekends at the Penguin Pavilion, exhibit visitors have the opportunity to experience a 45-minute personal encounter with an African penguin ($50).
Kids can partake in a Pirate Snorkel Adventure ($35), daily in the summer and weekends and holidays in September. They'll help Captain Poseidon find his buried treasure while swimming with tropical fish.
The exhibition center, part of the aquarium's $24 million expansion, features an indoor exotic butterfly and bird exhibit. This exhibit will change every few years.
Address: 431 E. Main St., Riverhead, NY 11901
Hours: Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Center is open 10am-5pm daily (closed Thanksgiving and Christmas)
Price: Admission: $32.50; $27.50 children (3-17) and seniors (62 and older); free for children ages 2 and younger. Aquarium only: $23.50; $19.50 children (3-17) and seniors (62 and older); free for children ages 2 and younger. Exhibition Center only: $13.50; $10.50 children (3-17) and seniors (62 and older); free for children ages 2 and younger.

Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance -- United States,Fourth Quarter, 1992
Data from CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance program are complete for 1992. Efforts to expand the number of states participating in the surveillance system are ongoing as states increase their capacity to monitor blood lead levels in both adults and children.

It's a busy day here on Screen Play.
First up, we have the judging for February's Your Turn articles, which were all of excellent quality. You should definitely go and have a look at who won.
Next, we have a brand new Your Turn from Andrew Masters to begin a new month, an entertaining piece in which he talks about his former love of Zelda and his puzzlement over where that love went.
Here, though, is our Friday fixture, the jigsaw. Today the jigsaw turns 30, so it will be an especially auspicious victory for whoever wins today. Screen Play reader Trevor snagged last week's - the point and click adventure Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender, which earned him the right to pic this week's. If you hate today's game, blame him.
Here are the the rules, just like ever other week: The jigsaw above is made from a screenshot of a video game, typically old, obscure, or both. Pieces will be revealed over the course of the day, until the whole image is revealed around 5pm or so. The winner will be the first person to post the correct and complete title of the game here in the comments, and their prize will be the honour of picking next week's game.
Okay everyone, go for it!

All three will form part of Warriors' new-look squad which Director of Rugby Dean Ryan is building ahead of next season.
Annett said: "I have hugely enjoyed my time with Ulster and really appreciate the opportunity that David Humphreys and Ulster Rugby have given me. I am ambitious and feel I really need to push on. With what Worcester have got planned, plus their prospects for the next couple of years, it is a very exciting place to be joining.
Six-foot-eight lock Sanderson moved to Moseley in 2011 before joining Rotherham a year later and has gone on to make 45 appearances for his current club.
Sanderson said: "I'm excited to be joining Worcester and I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead.
"The set-up is first-class and Dean's enthusiasm for the club really convinced me that this was the place to be. This is a big club with ambitions that match mine and I'm proud to be a part of it."
Hooker Sowrey joined Rotherham at the start of this season and has gone on to make 18 appearances for the club.
Sowrey said: "When I came down to Worcester for discussions I really bought into Dean's vision for how the club will move forward.
"I'm looking forward to being part of the club's future and developing under people like Carl Hogg and Nick Johnston.
"I've enjoyed my time at Rotherham and am grateful to all the staff for their support during my time there. I'm ambitious to make the number two jersey my own at Worcester and cannot wait to get started."
Warriors Director of Rugby Dean Ryan said: "I am delighted that one of the best young forwards in Ireland has decided to join us alongside two of the brightest talents in the Championship.
"Niall has developed well at one of the strongest teams in the PRO12, while Dan and Ben have been key performers for a club which is battling to win the Championship title."
