I'm timing a Fortran/MPI code, and I got the following timing information for one of 4 processes (the other 3 processes gave similar results): wallclock time 26.2 sec. cpu time 23.4 sec. MPI_Barrier 7.8 sec. I had assumed that MPI_Barrier would accumulate wallclock time but not cpu time, but this assumption is not consistent with the above timings, since the wallclock and cpu times differ by less than the time spent in MPI_Barrier. I ran this case on an IBM p690 under AIX. Does MPI_Barrier accumulate cpu time? Is this operating-system dependent? If so, does anyone know whether it's true for AIX, linux, and IRIX? Thanks for any help you can offer. Doug Sondak

On many low-latency implementations, polling is used. If you don't have any other useful work to do, that's a good idea. Sometimes it's switchable via an environment variable or flag. All of the platforms you asked about have multiple MPI implementations. I would suggest reading the docs and observing reality to find out what they do. -- greg

Evolution World Tour: Isle Royale, Michigan
Moose and wolves face off in the world's longest-running study of predators and prey
- By T.A. Frail
- Smithsonian magazine, January 2012, Subscribe
First came the moose. About 100 years ago, some of the animals swam or walked across ice to Isle Royale, a fir- and spruce-covered island in Lake Superior. There they found moose heaven, nothing but forage.
Next came the gray wolves. They arrived around 1950, after a cold winter allowed them to cross 15 miles of ice from the Canadian shore. They found a wolf idyll, all moose meat and a dearth of people, who had wiped out most of the wolves everywhere in the United States except Alaska.
Last came the wildlife biologists, in 1958. They wanted only to watch nature take its course. Other people had preceded the scientists—Isle Royale had been a resort in the early 20th century and part of a national park since 1940—but the biologists found their own kind of idyll, full of data to glean from a natural experiment in evolutionary biology.
The moose, the wolves and the biologists are still at Isle Royale National Park, collaborating on what has become the world's longest-running study of relations between a predator and its prey. "We have found that ecology is really a historical science," says Rolf Peterson, who has been with the study since 1970. Over time, "unpredictable, rare events completely change everything that follows."
Islands, as Charles Darwin discovered in the Galápagos, make good laboratories for studying evolution. For one thing, they have discrete ecosystems, which present fewer variables to sort out—fewer species, fewer individuals, fewer interrelationships. For another, islands are self-contained. A fox, say, on California's Channel Islands (known as "America's Galápagos") is easier to study because it can't sneak off to someplace new. Isle Royale, at about 45 miles long and 9 miles wide, is big enough to support moose and wolves but small enough that biologists can keep track of them, following their footprints or surveying them from the air.
Researchers from what is formally known as the Isle Royale Wolf-Moose Study have made fundamental observations of how this particular pairing of predator and prey has evolved in response to each other. Peterson has noted that while a wolf pack is an impressive killing machine, an adult moose does not go gently into that good night: "An old forest with lots of downed trees also allows a moose to 'comb' the wolves from its backside by running or twirling around and violently throwing them against trees," he wrote in The Wolves of Isle Royale: A Broken Balance. "This behavior helps explain the broken ribs often found in the skeletons of old wolves on Isle Royale."
John Vucetich, who leads the study with Peterson, has data suggesting that as the wolves have preyed on smaller moose—which are easier to bring down—they have influenced moose evolution. With big moose surviving and breeding, they tended to produce offspring that grew into big adults, meaning that the size of the average member of the herd increased. That effect might seem logical, but the Isle Royale research may be the first to document the phenomenon in a predator-prey pair in the wild. Beyond that, the study has determined that even in a simple ecosystem, the predator-prey relationship is complex. "The number of factors that determine the annual outcome of wolf-moose interaction is truly baffling," Peterson says. The wolves have ranged in number from 12 to 50, and the moose from 385 to 2,422—and those numbers have not always risen and fallen in tandem. Plant life, weather and disease dramatically affect both populations.
For example, from the peak of 50, reached in 1980, the wolf population crashed to 14 by 1982, despite a relatively stable population of moose. The cause turned out to be canine parvovirus, which came to the island via a dog. The moose numbers rose steadily while the wolf numbers recovered, hitting that peak of 2,422, in 1995. Then more than half of the moose starved during the bitter winter of 1995-96.
More recently, warmer weather has led to higher numbers of moose ticks, which led to weaker moose, which led to easier kills for wolves. Meanwhile, the wolves have shown a high incidence of a backbone malformation from inbreeding. In 2010, the study determined that a new alpha male had migrated to Isle Royale in 1997, which might have refreshed the gene pool if he hadn't initiated a genetic sweep of his own by breeding so prolifically with the local females. As of 2007, all Isle Royale wolves are related to him. The most recent concern, Vucetich says, is a dearth of females: There are now no more than two left on the island.
In the meantime, humans will keep coming to Isle Royale National Park, for recreation as well as research. The park is open from April through October; visitors can take ferries from ports in Minnesota and Michigan. The wolf-moose study offers research expeditions for non-scientists and weeklong forays into the wilderness to collect moose bones. The world's longest-running predator-prey study is far from finished.

Wow, great job on the article. This has to be one of the most fascinating studies ever done. www.michiganwolfsightings.info

I enjoyed your piece on Evotourism in the January 2012 edition of the magazine. But as I was reading about the various destinations I became aware of an omission concerning the Isle Royale article. The author, T.A. Frail, did not properly identify the two researchers quoted. Every other article specifically mentioned the specialty of each researcher as well as their affiliation. I know Michigan Tech is a small university located in an out-of-the-way location of the Upper Peninsula. However, for the record, Rolf Peterson is a Wildlife Research Biologist at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan and John Vucetich is an Associate Wildlife Professor, both in the School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science. Thank you for considering this correction/addition.

I really enjoyed reading this story about the compelling science being done on Isle Royale. Your readers might be interested to know that the researchers are on the faculty of Michigan Technological University.

David Bisard case back in court
Attorneys argue over 2nd DUI arrest
Copyright 2013 Scripps Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
Posted: 07/29/2013

FORT WAYNE, Ind. - No action was taken Monday on a number of motions filed to determine the admissibility of evidence in suspended officer David Bisard's pending October trial for driving drunk and causing death.
A Fort Wayne judge set aside Monday and Tuesday to hear as many as 10 different legal arguments to decide the kind of evidence that would be admissible in Bisard's trial.
Most of the focus was on arguments about whether evidence from his April 27 DUI arrest in Lawrence should be heard in the 2010 drunken driving case.
The state hoped to show a pattern of conduct of driving drunk and covering it up.
In the August 2010 drunken driving crash that killed Eric Wells and injured two others, Bisard was driven to a clinic for a blood draw, but not before officers stopped at a gas station and allowed him to purchase smokeless tobacco.
Along with Fraternal Order of Police representation on scene, it was just one of many accommodations that Bisard received in what would become a criminal case.
"We were presenting evidence to show that for whatever reason, David Bisard was treated differently, and that is something we should be able to explore at trial," said Marion County Deputy Prosecutor Denise Robinson.
The court didn't hear several other state motions that would have prohibited Bisard from calling character witnesses, or a motion that would have prohibited statements from former Prosecutor Carl Brizzi regarding his opinions on the inadmissibility of the controversial handling of the blood alcohol in the August 2010 crash.
For the parents of Eric Wells, Monday was a day of unfulfilled expectations.
"We would have liked to have seen all of this presented today. It didn't work that way, but we will be back on the 28th and hopefully get it finished up," said Aaron Wells, father of victim Eric Wells.
A new round of hearings was set for Aug. 28. One of the motions up for debate is Bisard's controversial blood draw in the 2010 case.
Bisard's lawyers were trying to get the motion dismissed and tossed out as evidence.

A preliminary hearing for Clay of Port Huron, is scheduled for Nov. 27. Bond was set at $150,000. It is reported that police responded shortly after 1:00 a.m. Saturday to the 2800 block of 15th Avenue in Port Huron for a report of two men arguing. When officers arrived on scene, they found Clay with self-inflicted cuts, claiming to be the victim of an attack. Police found a 30-year-old Port Huron man in the basement of the residence. He had cuts from a box cutter and was bleeding severely. Police arrested Clay. Both men were taken to the hospital for their injuries Saturday morning.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I was very pleased with the quick response and delivery of cards.They were very pretty and exactly like the proofs. Only drawback, they are a little pricey. In the future, if I need invitations in a hurry, I woulld use this company again."
"The invitations turned out great, really liked the paper and printing. Received the order quicker than expected. Have had several comments from guests regarding how cute they turned out. The website made personalization very simple. Will definately check with WPD next time I need invitations or printed items. Thanks"
"This card was exactly what I had wanted for my son's rehearsal dinner - masculine, somewhat traditional, but still pleasing to his contemporary bride to be. I chose a chocolate brown background, with khaki monogram and small stripes, and the bold autumn orange stripe. On the back of the invitation, we included the information about the rehearsal at the church. The "live chat" was helpful when I had a question about the postage for the square envelope. Great product! Thanks!"
"I ordered this invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner and I am very happy with the finished product. This was actually my 3rd design pick, but when I ordered samples (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) it moved up to first. I customized by dropping the couple's last names and enlarging all the type. I changed to the usual upper/lower cases as I don't like all caps. The process of customizing, ordering and proofing was very easy and there were no glitches. The price was good and I even saved a few bucks by going through the Costco website. The whole on-line experience was much easier and more efficient than leafing through sample books. And my future daughter-in-law loves it!"
"First time this 'techno-challenged' grandma ordered invites online. Process was user-friendly and simple - customer service is excellent. I forgot to include some important information, and did a live chat with a very helpful rep, who fixed my mistake in no time. The paper quality was good, vibrant color - simple and elegant design - this particular invitation was used for the rehearsal dinner invites."


text: All you morons claiming Dharun is an elitist snob for not taking the plea deal, think about what you are saying. He would have had to go on the stand and explicitly say that he did those things because he hates gays. It would be on record, and that sticks, even if years later he says he just took the deal to avoid jail time but doesn't really hate gays. He rejected the plea out of integrity, and you all call him magnanamous, spoiled, selfish etc. WTF! If he had taken the plea I would have had my suspicions that Dharun is anti-gay (since he knew he did those things out of hatred and felt he got away easy with the plea).

Can Pixel Laser Be Too Aggressive?
- Asked by drabby in Malaysia
- 5 years ago
My problem is acne scars. Im of indian ethnicity. I had a pixel laser with these settings: 2940 nm medium pulsed 7x7 matrix 600joule 2 passes, and then with the same settings but long pulsed, the doctor did 3x stacking over my scars area only.
Is this too aggressive? Can any expert suggest/share the recommended settings based on your experience?
Difficult Problem with Pixel
Those seem like legitimate settings. This is indeed a difficult problem since your skin type which I'm assuming is a Fitzpatrick 5 or 6 puts you at risk for hypopigmentation after any procedure. In order to accomodate patients with your skin-type, I use lower settings on the Pixel and have them return every 2 to 4 weeks. There is no data to support this but my fear of hypopigmentation (which most probably resolves) prevents me from doing a deeper burn. The problem is even more complicated since in order to give you a good result with your acne scars I would need to use a very deep penetrating burn (2300 long). Normally, with Fitzpatrick 1 or 2, I stack 6 pulses with 1 to 2 passes at 2300 long. In you, I would stack up to 3, 1 pass, at 1700 long but you would probably need 6-8 treatements.

Hi all and Merry Christmas!
Santa is bringing me an EPL-1 with the Olympus housing, I have never taken an underwater pic, so I guess I have a very steep learning curve, in fact I have not used anything other than a point and shoot camera for a very long time.
I am heading to Fiji in about 5 days time and I was hoping that some of you knowledgable folk might be able point me in the right direction. I have absolutely no idea what settings I should even start with. I am just using the standard lense that comes with the camera and I do not have a strobe.
Should I be using the flash that comes witht he camera when underwater or not?
Any tips would be great. A good reference point for anyone prepared to help is that I know absolutely nothing!!!!!
Thanks for any assistance.

Oh, Canada, here we go again.
The movement to change the supposedly sexist lyrics of O Canada is back.
Possibly taking their cue from Quebec's farcical saga - "we'll keep holding referendums until we get the answer we want" - advocates for getting rid of the anthem's phrase "in all thy sons command" are stirring the pot anew. They now claim the support of notables such as former prime minister Kim Campbell and writer Margaret Atwood.
I don't understand what this name-dropping is supposed to achieve. Just because Atwood and Campbell think the world should be run a certain way, doesn't mean that it should.
It's like saying that Kim Campbell and Margaret Atwood think everyone should have blueberry muffins for breakfast. If other people don't like blueberry muffins, Campbell and Atwood weighing in on the issue doesn't lend it more validity or make muffins more palatable.
Atwood claims half of Canadians have been excluded because of the word "sons." Speak for yourself, Margaret.
None of the women I know have said they feel excluded. As Canadian citizens, we feel included. As for "sons," what is so poisonous about it? Sons. Beautiful word - especially to those of us who are the mothers of boys.
The group also claims women are increasingly discontented with O Canada's words. What women? Nobody I know was polled by this group.
I suspect this is just one of those sweeping statements made to shore up a small group's position, one that isn't backed by hard numbers.
After all, when this issue came up three years ago, the Prime Minister's Office was awash with calls and emails from people who most emphatically did not want the anthem changed, and one survey indicated 75 per cent of Canadians wanted to keep the anthem as it is.
Women were among those polled and among those who contacted the PMO, and did so with such vehemence, that Prime Minister Stephen Harper realized where public sentiment lay, and vetoed any change.
So, given the overwhelming majority who opposed this just three years ago, the number of women who are alleged to be increasingly unhappy must be a pretty small minority. In fact, as of Monday, only six people had signed the petition demanding change.
Hopefully, the federal government will put the kibosh on this nonsense fairly quickly again.
As one commenter on CTV's website wrote: "Leave the lyrics alone. And I am a woman and think all this gender sensitivity is garbage."
It is indeed; it's politically correct garbage, just like the fuss about changing "alderman" to "councillor" in Calgary.
By the way, in the rush to eradicate the suffix "man" from the title of that position, the politically correct have only demonstrated their ignorance of Latin - the "or" suffix on councillor is also masculine. They have essentially changed nothing by going from alderman to councillor. Think "señor" and "señora" in Spanish.
When the anthem changers talk of exclusion, I'd like to know what we women are being excluded from.
We are full citizens of this country. We are equal before the law. We serve in the military, we vote, we hold public office, we are scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers, you name it.
We have more opportunity than we've ever had. We have never been more free to follow our hearts, our dreams and our aspirations.
Just what is it that the word "sons" - which is understood in O Canada to refer figuratively to all Canadians regardless of gender - excludes us from? The tack the would-be anthem changers are taking this time is that the version they want would be a "restoration" to the 1873 lyrics before Robert Stanley Weir altered the contentious line in 1913 to "in all thy sons command."
The group wants the anthem restored to "thou dost in us command." Talk about lyrics that don't exactly roll easily off the tongue - which might be why they were changed 100 years ago.
This year marks the centennial of the version with Weir's line about "sons." We should honour O Canada's 100th anniversary by preserving it, not changing it.
Another argument - and one that shows the anthem restorer folks are grasping at straws - is that some U.S. universities, including Dartmouth, Princeton and Rutgers, have changed their anthems to be more gender inclusive.
The comparison is ridiculous. Canada is a country, not a university. A college team's rah-rah fight song is hardly the same as the anthem of an entire nation. It's like saying Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is on a par with a Mozart clarinet concerto.
"I think a politician would have to be somewhat addled to refuse this entirely practical request," Atwood said. I think a politician would have to be greatly addled to approve this entirely unnecessary request.
Take that, Maggie. And you too, Kim.

Wildlife Expert to Discuss State of Carnivores in Santa Monica Mountains
Mountain lions especially face survival issues in the Santa Monica Mountains because of its neighboring freeways, the Pacific Ocean and an agricultural plain.
The rare sighting of a mountain lion this week on Mulholland Highway has ignited a conversation around how carnivores interact with communities in the Santa Monica Mountains. The mountain lion, known as Puma-23, dragged a deer off the road into the dense brush in the Santa Monica Mountains.
The talk with Dr. Seth Riley is set for Saturday, Sept. 7, from 1-3 p.m. at King Gillette Ranch in Calabasas, according to the National Park Service.
"Studying how carnivores are impacted by urbanization and habitat fragmentation has been a lifelong interest of mine," said Riley, a wildlife ecologist for Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. "I'm excited to share what we've learned here in the Santa Monica Mountains with the public."
Riley has researched local mountain lions, bobcats and coyotes for more than a decade. He will be available to sign copies of his book Urban Carnivores: Ecology, Conflict & Conservation.
Mountain lions especially face survival issues in the Santa Monica Mountains because of its neighboring freeways, the Pacific Ocean and an agricultural plain.
The event is co-sponsored by Western National Parks Association.
Reservations are appreciated but not necessary: 805-370-2302 or email@example.com.
DIRECTIONS: King Gillette Ranch is located at 26800 Mulholland Highway in the Calabasas area. The lecture will be held in the auditorium. Parking is free.

Publish Brand 'Jogger Pants' Video
We were introduced to the Publish menswear line during our attendance of the Project Las Vegas tradeshow and our subsequent #babebattle. What caught our attention were the sight of these chambray embroidered pants Publish coined "Jogger Pants." When the wearer of the pants turned around we both agreed that he, Geoff, was worthy of inclusion in our #babebattle. Enjoy the very entertaining and video of well dressed guys, modestly shaking it in the newly launched "Jogger Pants." One of the many styles from Publish we'd gladly steal from the boys.

The Romania Semester is a Fall-only program. Its curriculum is relevant for courses of study offered at Gordon College in International Affairs, Sustainable Development, Youth Ministry, Outdoor Education, Social Work, and Nonprofit Organization Management.
The curriculum of the Romania Semester has four distinct components:
The FALL 2013 Semester begins around August 23rd and ends in early December.
The Romania Semester fulfills Gordon College's Global Understanding core requirement when students participate in the pre- and post-New Perspectives courses offered on campus.
The Sustainable Development course fulfills Gordon's Civic Responsibility core requirement.
Romanian Language, Culture and History
This class will explore Romanian culture and history through visits to historic sites and museums, home stays with Romanian families, language study, readings, and lectures by qualified specialists. Lectures will focus on gaining insight into the historical and social development of Romania's cultural values, especially the values Communism attempted to propagate and the devastating wake left by the realities of this failed ideology. Exploring the social legacy of Communism (low social capital, civic apathy, corruption) is imperative to understanding the purpose behind the work of New Horizons Foundation (adventure education and service learning as strategies for social capital development. Also, in collaboration with the Experiential Education class, students will partner with local IMPACT clubs, providing an opportunity to become more familiar with what Romania looks like through the eyes of the youth.
Eastern Orthodoxy
This is an introductory course to give Western students a good understanding of Eastern Orthodox faith, dogma, aesthetics, liturgics, and lifestyle. Even though the Christian Church started in the East, the Eastern Orthodox Church is largely unknown to Western audiences. Several Church visits and expert Orthodox authorities will speak on behalf of their Church, thus facilitating an authentic approach to Romanian Orthodoxy. There will be a focus on the lived experience of the Sacraments, the role of the Church Calendar, the effects of Communism on the social engagement of the Church, among other things.
Sustainable Development
This class will explore issues of poverty, underdevelopment, and human well-being correlating insights of the secular world (Athens) with that of Christian faith (Jerusalem). Special reference will be given to the theoretical aspects of various paradigms of human well-being: social capital and civil society, the Human Development paradigm (the Capability Approach of Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum), Basic Needs, Geographical (Jared Diamond), and Marxist inspired Communism. There will be considerable focus and care given to motivating students to 1) care about issues of global poverty and 2) think critically about poverty and human development via resources both from within and outside the Christian faith.
Experiential Education: Theoria and praxis for transformation
This class has two principal aims. The first is to dig deeply into the theoretical (including theological) and historical foundations of experiential education. This class will therefore investigate the classical virtue and "wisdom" (phronesis) tradition, as well as its later refinements with Dewey and his desire for transformative praxis. The second main aim is to explore experiential education—adventure education and service learning—in, and as applied in post-Communist Romania. Thus the basics of adventure education will be addressed including a wilderness back-packing trip in the beautiful Carpathians of Transylvania, and working in solidarity with Romanian youth who are striving to improve their communities. All of this is embedded within the context of an NGO that leads Romania's largest movement of youth activists.

NP Rank:
The Fix, Don't Bet On It
The latest attempt at outlining how to cure the nations economic ills, by the President is a lofty almost ambiguous goal to say the least. Unfortunately, like so many other speeches that only created short term enthusiasm little effort was put in to specify just how a sitting President was going to accomplish all that he has laid out. Nor, did he mention that one of this nations largest metropolitan areas is in a death spiral of economic demise. Detroit, a city that has for years been a United States symbol of economic power now has been systematically reduced to the point that it is literally dying right before our eyes. Detroit is by no means the lone municipality to face dire economic and financial conditions. Cities all across the country are languishing in acute desperation waiting for any spark to ignite a fire for economic rebirth.
It was just recently that Detroit filed for Chapter 9 bankruptcy. It is the largest municipal bankruptcy in the history of the United States. Here we have a city that was one of the greatest cities in the world now reduced to but a shadow. What happened in the course of just 40 years that has leveled Americas greatest centers for economic power? To really answer that is to trace the reality that the American Auto industry along with it's accomplices Wall Street, the United Auto Workers Union, and our own governmental policies for the past 40 years all played an internal part in reducing not only Detroit's ability to prosper but practically every city all across the country. Too many cities are now all facing acute financial hardships. Today, Detroit is over 20 billion dollars in debt. A fact that is an undeniable certainty that the residents face unparallel hardships.
Another reason to why Detroit is in such dire straits is to understand how the American Auto industry has suffered and to some extent failed. To answer that question why the American Auto industry failed we have to go as far back as the early 1950's to the introduction of the Tucker Automobile. Here was a man, Tucker, who envisioned a car far ahead of it's time only to have the Oil and the major Auto industry purposely set out to undermine and eventually destroy this automobile before it was capable of mass production. This was a car that was able to get more than 50 miles per gallon of gasoline with safety features unheard of back then.
Back in the 1950's the major auto and oil companies were the dominate industries in the United States. They controlled the economies of not only the United States but pretty much the rest of the world. Along with our strong manufacturing base more citizens were able to purchase cars without worrying about the price of gas, unlike today. This laissez-faire attitude among the auto industry and the general public created an illusion that the American Auto Industry was like the Titanic, unsinkable.
The United Auto Workers Union realizing the volume of cars sold began to seek higher wages. But as wages increased the auto industry started cutting corners in using lesser quality materials in the designing and manufacturing of the American auto. This was to make up for the United Auto Workers pay demands. Consequently the American made automobile ceased to be of the quality and affordability that it once was. The lessening of tariffs allowed countries like the Japanese to begin flooding the American market with lower priced better quality cars.
In 1974 the United States experienced it's first real disruption in oil and gasoline. The cost of fuel began to rise like never before causing major economic suffering for all. Countries like Brazil realized that oil from the Mid-East couldn't be reliable anymore and set out to be almost energy independent. They succeeded. The United States on the other hand, our policies didn't alter and the population was left with no recourse but to suffer and pay at the pump. We are still paying more at the pump. In 1974 this was the first surge for alternative fuel sources like wind or solar but with cost constraints then as there is now the vast majority of the population wasn't and still won't be able to afford the new energy. Consequently, the US economy is still at the mercy of "Big Oil". But, back in the 1970's the American Auto industry continued to manufacture non-fuel efficient automobiles and along with the major oil companies ignored the warning signs that the American public was beginning to purchase those foreign cars that were now of a better quality, more fuel efficient, and more affordable.
Had the American Auto Industry designed American Autos to meet the fluctuating gasoline prices and the United Auto Workers Union put wage caps on wages just enough to be considered a living wage the American Auto Industry would be producing the type of Automobile that meets today challenges; more affordable, longer lasting, more fuel efficient and safety ensured American made cars. Today, the American made cars are beginning to meet today needs. In Detroit's case, it is not enough.
We have to remember that back in 1960 the city of Detroit had over 295,000 manufacturing jobs, today you would be hard pressed to find just a couple thousand. With over 100,000 abandoned homes the city is looking more like a war zone. Compounding the economic plight is another startling fact that today more than 50% of Detroit's population are functionally illiterate. Detroit is by no means the lone municipality that has an enormous rate of functionally illiterate citizens. Where there are cities with little or no means for financial stability education only continues to suffer. This creates a domino effect of financial and economic retardation.
Like Detroit, cities all across the country, though not as acute, but non-the-less continue to face budget short falls. Tax bases have been withering on that vine of lost opportunities for too many years. Meanwhile our governmental policies and the rhetoric coming from practically every elected official continues to miss the boat when it comes to outlining just how the hell the United States can reclaim it's economic might we had just 50 years ago. Miss the boat, our elected officials and our corporate CEO's have yet to find the right pier. And, this latest attempt to rally the American public the present Administration outlined what could be a first step in the long road to stability, but the real problem has and continues to be the lack of genuine education for the American public on how to achieve what we all know needs to be done. This, so that more cities and towns don't end up like the city of Detroit.
There are many contingencies that have to be considered simultaneously in order to felicitate the outcome the United States needs today. We can do more than only hope that the President realizes this. It is going to take a monumental effort to outline specifics to the American public on what needs to be done. What the present Administration has to do is to focus on the mediums of today and be the professor of reform this nation needs. To keep going the way we have been with only Band-Aid fixes on injuries that require major surgery only creates more infections and festering of our almost mortally wounded economy. It has been too often that when someone attains a major leadership role in the United States government or becomes a CEO they too tend to lose focus on what are the solutions that seem all too evident. This is when someone is looking inside out rather than from the outside in rational holds true.
With our two party system in government poised along party lines with real no apparent compromise coming forth and the insane amount of money required now to just consider being a public servant [Public servant, ha, more likely a slave to the special interest groups that supply the ridiculously exorbitant amount of money for political campaigns] the logger jam of political expediency only continues. Thus, any real effort to negate the financial conditions that are continuing to undermine the US economy never materializes is the reality we are faced with today.
The only way now to avert an economic calamity is through total reform of our own government, it's current policies, and the repeal of certain Supreme court decisions. This is where education has to become paramount for every American citizen. Education on how a National Economic Reform agenda is imperative for the future of America. Only through implementing National Economic Reform with it's Ten Articles of Confederation can the United States shed the cloak of despair and anguish that continues to shroud over the American public. Like the New Deal of the 1930's National Economic Reform will have lasting implications that will not only revive that vine of opportunities in Detroit but in every city and town all across the country.

On the Big RockPosted on Mar 13, 2012
In late February and early March, Southern Californians were inundated with stories, in both print and electronic media, about the latest art fad to capture public attention: the transportation and arrival of the "big rock" to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Known formally as "Levitated Mass," the work by reclusive artist Michael Heizer is a 340-ton, 21-foot-high boulder that made a 105-mile journey from a Riverside County quarry to the museum, proceeding at night in a highly complicated endeavor at 4 to 5 miles per hour over an 11-night period. The transporter for this gargantuan public art piece was itself 200 feet long, with 196 wheels, that required complex engineering and logistical calculations, including dozens of workers involved in the move across three Southern California counties. The project also carries a high price. It is estimated to cost approximately $10 million, funded primarily through private donations. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art paid $70,000 to the quarry for the big rock. Now that it has arrived, it will be installed on LACMA's grounds over a cut in the earth and available for public viewing in the fall. Museum officials, including Director Michael Govan, appear ecstatic about the project. He told The New York Times that "it fits into a grand tradition of using public space." Some art aficionados are equally enthusiastic, viewing "Levitated Mass" as a major addition to LACMA's public art offerings. Heizer himself, who has produced conventional small sculptures and large earthworks throughout his career, has been characteristically silent about his effort. The enthusiasm about the big rock, however, is far from universal. Indeed, many public comments on the Internet and in private conversations have been especially scornful, wondering whether the big rock is really a big joke and a phenomenal waste of money, despite the fact that the move itself has likely produced a modest, if temporary, spike in employment. Although no major public opinion poll about the big rock is available (nor will one likely be commissioned), it is realistic to assume that the general public is probably indifferent or even hostile to this highly publicized event. Many critics even ask the perennial question: Is it really art? Negative public opinion about art can be wrong, even dangerous. It can lead to cultural censorship and can reinforce philistine and anti-intellectual attitudes, especially in a society in which these values remain pervasive. The past is replete with cases in which outstanding artworks encountered initial public hostility and yet in retrospect made significant contributions to American art history and cultural life. And debating whether something is art or not is often fruitless. If LACMA wants to call Heizer's "creation" art, let that appellation stand, but art can and should be subject to critical judgment. In this case, dismissive and acerbic public reaction about the big rock is close to the mark. A large boulder displayed at a major art museum may well offer viewers some modest appreciation of the natural environment, and the rock itself—to stretch a point—has some natural aesthetic qualities. Overall, however, this artwork is basically silly. To compare it with the genuinely outstanding works in LACMA's collection is absurd. No amount of critical artistic discourse, often intended to reinforce a smug and insular cultural and academic elitism, can justify a transparent public relations ploy that uses art as a cover. The big rock reveals nothing excellent, or even very interesting, at either the level of form or content. Future historians are unlikely to include it in the larger canon of significant early 21st century art, a prediction I make here with confidence. The intense publicity of the big rock's journey has encouraged me to ask others about their opinions on the issue. I posed the question to 35 students in my honors course on social commentary in art at UCLA. Not surprisingly, their opinions overwhelmingly mirrored those of the public who find the big rock ludicrous. My students have spent an entire term studying such artistic giants as Francisco Goya, Honore Daumier, Kathe Kollwitz, Elizabeth Catlett, Ben Shahn, Diego Rivera, Barbara Kruger and many others, including some artists addressing contemporary environmental concerns. Although Heizer's land works like "Double Negative," a 1,500-foot trench in the Nevada desert 40 years ago, deserve mention in this context for their striking visual presence and nontraditional use of space, his "Levitated Mass" will generate environmental consciousness only to viewers capable of serious delusion. A brief trip to the Santa Monica Mountains, Griffith Park or anywhere else in the area before rapacious developers descend would be a far more valuable experience. Equally significant, I have conversed with several prominent Los Angeles area artists, especially from the minority community, about the big rock. Their views are unanimous: This is a ludicrous publicity stunt that ill befits the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, which has impressively hosted several exhibitions under the widely heralded Pacific Standard Time initiative. These creative women and men have worked for decades producing powerful works addressing social, ethical, historical and aesthetic issues. Their critique—indeed, their contempt—for the hoopla surrounding the big rock should be taken seriously.

By OBSART | Observatoire du Land Art, March 17, 2012 at 7:35 pm Link to this comment Thanks for your article. The best part of it, according to me, is this one: But it seems to me that you do not know very well Heizer's work and the reasons why he is one of the most important artists of the 20th century—And now, and especially due to the Levitated Mass, one of the most important artists of the 21th century. It seems but it is real since you always forget to mention the trench. It is like if you were commenting a painting by Jackson Pollock without any mention of the result, and only speaking about the drippings process. Your point of view is incomplete. This masterpiece is not a tv-show, even it generates a huge mass moving and a lot of articles and reports. http://obsart.blogspot.fr/2012/01/levitated-mass-2012-world-press-review.html Maybe your obsession about these 10 millions dollars (a bucket in the ocean, according to the duration of this piece of art) is the reason of this incomplete view. You students should learn more about history of sculpture. As to a commenter of your article, it is useless to continue to think—since Duchamp, Weiner, Smithson, Kossuth and so many artists after them, since Szeemann, Siegelaub, Celant, Schum and so many curators after them—that it is not art because the artist doesn't cut his stone. Moreover, this way of thinking is insulting when one consider the whole history of avant-gardes from the sixties/seventies. If you think this project is stupid or flimsy, you may have a look to this other transportation of a huge rock: http://obsart.blogspot.fr/2012/02/tsunami-memorial-levitated-mass-072011.html Of course, this is not the same project but after reading Heizer's statement, it is possible to see several symbolic connections. And you students may also check out this painting: http://obsart.blogspot.com/2012/02/levitated-castle-on-its-rock-1959.html to be able to realize that Heizer's work makes Magritte's dream true. But at the end, the most important thing is not the boulder, even the trench, even more the Levitated Mass. It is the incredible revival of the Land Art movement at the moment (http://www.theartnewspaper.com/articles/Will-Double-Negative-be-a-no-show?/24658) Heizer is a purist, it is unfair and dishonest to speak about his art like if it was showbiz. It is all the contrary. It is also educative art http://www.lacma.org/sites/default/files/LevitatedMassClassroomActivity4.pdf.pdf and not only for a few students but for millions of visitors to come from all over the world on a very long-term period.
By Malachi Constant, March 16, 2012 at 6:07 pm Link to this comment A great line from the 1969 movie Women In Love is when actor Vladek Sheybal dismisses sculpture as "Knick-knacks for the rich."
By L Hayes, March 15, 2012 at 12:23 pm Link to this comment Haven't seen it, but sounds like the artist is Nature not Michael Heizer. If Michael designed a way to suspend the 340 ton boulder for "levitation", then he can take credit as engineer or a scientist, not an artist. Anything from a quarry has been cut, and any cut piece of granite is a beautiful piece of Nature. Now, if Michael had designed a beautiful landscape with a piece of granite nestled in, some artistry might be recognized. There is a lot of ludicrous so-called "art" that deserves criticism. How big did the boulder have to get to be called "art"? If it was 50 lbs would it be "art"? Just because someone's name is recognized, it does not guarantee "art". There is a consensus criticizing for good reason! Maybe, we are waking up to discern the difference between the ridiculous and real art.
By Tim, March 14, 2012 at 7:56 am Link to this comment Over here you can see the anti-evolutionists. On the other side of the time machine note the it-ain't-art-ists. "What century did we travel back to again, Mom?"
By karlInSanDiego, March 13, 2012 at 1:43 pm Link to this comment I agree with the author. It'd be a great story if the rock was finally found and a team of volunteers moved the donated quarry piece for the sake of art. Instead it wreaks of wealthy Los Angeles elitists squandering their maybe not so hard earned money on $10M of transportation. So in essence it was a boondoggle for the company that bagged $10M to move it. And I prefer the author's thoughts that such fund would make great endowments to struggling artist by buying their work or sponsoring them. $10M+ for a rock that'll probably fall in the next big quake isn't art, it's foolish.

PETERSBURG - The deadline to determine whether Sycamore Rouge will keep its doors open is quickly approaching, and kb saine, producing artistic director of the theater, is confident shows will go on at the theater in July.
"The show will go on," saine said. "We'll still be here with the help of our community. Our doors will still be open."
Sycamore Rouge, the city's only professional performing arts venue, announced in March that it needed $150,000 to make a balloon payment on the mortgage for its home on Old Street. The payment was due March 29, but the theater worked with SunTrust to secure a 90-day extension, which expires at the end of this month.
Since then, Sycamore Rouge has been working to raise the money necessary to stay open, and another $150,000 to secure the next theatrical season and beyond.
"We've had overwhelming support from the community," saine said.
That support has included fundraising efforts by community groups, business owners and individuals:
- The Bouncing Betties burlesque troupe recently dedicated an entire show in Richmond at the Richmond Triangle Players to Sycamore Rouge.
- Photographer Eric Dobbs committed to taking headshots for theatrical performers and professionals for $100, with proceeds going to Sycamore Rouge.
- Utopia Spa in Petersburg is hosting a July 14 women's slumber party at the theater.
- A group of actors will also perform a special reading of "The Princess Bride" on July 18 and 19 at the theater.
- The Bistro at Market and Grove will have a special fundraiser on July 22, "A Taste of the Bistro."
A website - www.iamsycamorerouge.com - allows people to record videos and say what the theater means to them.
"The amount of support has just been overwhelming," saine said. "I always knew that the theater was a special place, but the community has proven that and has shown how determined they are to keep the theater. It's just one of the reasons that I love Petersburg."
Earlier this month, saine said that the focus had shifted slightly in the Sycamore Rouge's Cornerstone Campaign, from the first $150,000 to save the building to the second $150,000, which will ensure the theater's future.

Of course, the idea of a big old party that might attract as many as 10,000 people didn't sit so well with residents near Fort Greene Park, so a kerfuffle was raised, and now the party has been moved to Prospect Park. The event will still be free at 5pm on August 29 and feature music by DJ Spinna, but it will be held in Nethermead, which presents obvious marketing fodder for comparisons between Neverland (Jackson's amusement park ranch) and Nethermead. Like, for instance, "Remember the man from Neverland at Nethermead," and "Brooklyn's own Neverland at Nethermead." Spike Lee promises: "All over the world, people are going to be celebrating his birthday. But he's going to hear Brooklyn; Brooklyn is going to be in the house. Deep."

UNC junior awarded Udall Scholarship |
Thursday, April 08, 2010 | |
Michael Mian of Concord, a junior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, seeks a career that embodies his commitment to environmental justice and international action on climate change. For his goals and many achievements, Mian has been chosen by the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Scholarship and Excellence in National Environmental Policy Foundation in Tucson, Ariz., as one of 80 Udall Scholars nationwide for 2010. The recipients were chosen recently from among 537 candidates nominated by 256 colleges and universities nationwide. Congress authorized the Udall Foundation in 1992 to honor Morris Udall, the late Congressman from Arizona. A trust fund in the U.S. Treasury and private contributions support the foundation. Udall, who served in the House of Representatives from 1961-1991, advocated environmental conservation and championed the rights of American Indians and Alaska natives. Last year, Congress added the name of Udall's brother, Stewart, to the foundation's name for his contributions as Secretary of the Interior. Stewart Udall died in March. Each year the foundation chooses its scholars for commitment to careers in the environment or, for American Indian and Alaskan native applicants, commitment to careers in health care or tribal public policy. Scholars also must demonstrate leadership potential and academic achievement. Mian brings the number of Udall Scholarships awarded to Carolina students to 14 since the awards began in 1996. The award will cover tuition, books, room and board up to $5,000 for Mian's senior year. He hopes to earn a joint law and master's degree in environmental management, and then to resolve environmental disputes while shaping new policies to prevent such disputes from occurring. Climate change is on his front burner. "Conflict, legal or otherwise, is imminent in negotiating a new carbon-friendly global economy," he said. "It is to the resolution of this rising conflict, as well as the prevention of future problems of environmental mismanagement, that I intend to dedicate my career." Mian is double-majoring in political science and in environmental justice and conflict resolution, a self-designed major, with a minor in entrepreneurship, all in the College of Arts and Sciences. Last December, he was a delegate to the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen. The son of Patricia and Dr. Khalid Mian of Concord, he came to UNC on a Morehead-Cain Scholarship, which pays all expenses for four years of undergraduate study and for four summer enrichment experiences. Additional funding is provided for educational and experiential opportunities during academic years. Before he graduated from the North Carolina School of Science and Mathematics in 2007, Mian had already co-founded an organization that would go national. ScienceDays Inc., began with he and 30 of his classmates leading after-school interactive science demonstrations at schools. Now, the nonprofit group has 25 U.S. and Canadian college and high school chapters working to eliminate inequality in science education. Mian also helped implement HOPE Gardens, a project of the UNC organization Homeless Outreach Poverty Eradication. The gardens in Chapel Hill lease plots to gardeners and also produce organic food for local sale. Proceeds employ members of the local homeless population. Recently inducted into Phi Beta Kappa, Mian studied abroad last year in Spain, attending the School for International Training in Granada. Morehead-Cain summer experiences have taken him to internships with the Foundation for Sustainable Development in Uganda and the broadcast-film operation of Smithsonian Networks in Washington, D.C. This summer, he will research carbon mitigation projects with the Center for International Forestry Research in Indonesia. "Michael is a remarkable young man, and we are very proud that he has been selected for this award," said Michael Lambert, Ph.D., associate professor of African and Afro-American studies and head of the Udall nominating committee at UNC. "It was clear to us and the Udall Scholarship National Review Committee that he is already well advanced on the path to realizing a career that reflects the spirit of Morris Udall's commitment to environmental issues."

Sourcing Cucumbers
Finding Local Food
- Local Foods Partnership online searchable database through the University of Minnesota Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships. It includes a wide range of food products from farmers mostly in northwest, western, and central Minnesota.
- The Minnesota Grown wholesale database lists Minnesota farmers interested in selling their products to schools. You can search online by product type and by region.
- The Land Stewardship Project has a Farm Directory for schools looking to purchase sustainably raised foods.
- Food Alliance Midwest is a national organization that certifies farmers who follow sustainable farming practices. Contact Bob Olson, the director of Food Alliance Midwest, for assistance in finding farmers: 651-265-3682
Cucumbers are widely available in the late summer in Minnesota. Cucumbers are a frost-sensitive crop that does not store well, so their season of availability is pretty much limited to the summer and early fall. A few farmers in the state have greenhouses or high tunnels that allow them to extend the season for cucumbers.
Regulations on Buying Cucumbers Directly from Farmers
Minnesota state laws permit retail establishments and food services to purchase raw, unprocessed fruits and vegetables from any farmer who is selling the produce of his or her own farm.
Fact Sheet for Buying Produce (282 K PDF)
Best Time to Buy
Order cucumbers before the start of school in the fall for delivery during the month of September.

Subject: | [CPEO-BIF] New York City's brownfields plan |
Developing Brownfields The Right Way opinion by Mathy Stanislaus and Jody Kass Gotham Gazette (NY) May 7, 2007Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to build on an estimated 7,600 acres of contaminated land, known as brownfields, will eliminate health hazards that plague poor neighborhoods and communities of color and create space for desperately needed housing. The mayor's plan is visionary, courageous and insightful, and the implementation plan includes provisions that empowers residents and community based organizations and directs funds where they are most needed. A Transparent ProcessA dozen groups, including New Partners in Community Revitalization has lobbied the city to create a centralized office focused on redeveloping city brownfield sites. The mayor included such an office in his plan, but it now needs the authority, staff and funding to develop and implement his agenda. Moving forward, the office will also need to ensure that the projects it assists have emerged from a community planning effort or have support of the local community. And any project that seeks city help to develop a brownfield must demonstrate that their projects are consistent with the city's sustainability goals. Dual RoleThe primary focus of the city's new Office of Environmental Remediation is to advance the redevelopment of the city's brownfield sites, but it will also be charged with regulatory oversight. When the same agency that develops a project also has the responsibility for regulating it, an inherent conflict arises. To avoid that, the new office will needed to develop policies and procedures and hire the right personnel to assure a user-friendly program while achieving regulatory goals. Making the Best Use of FundsThe mayor announced that the city will provide $15 million for a public-private revolving loan fund to finance remediation and related costs. But it is not clear how the city will get these dollars into specific projects. The city government should maximize its funds by leveraging private dollars for remediation through partnerships with community lending institutions such as NY Metro Brownfields Redevelopment Fund Program, which uses federal and city funds to credit enhance remediation loans. ...

As the tenth anniversary of 9/11 approaches, many of us are wondering how best to honor the many victims of that tragedy and its aftermath.
Here in Cincinnati, my wife Marty's answer is inviting some of our friends to join us on a walk with some Muslim and Jewish families she invited by simply calling their congregations. She got the idea from my friends and me at Abraham's Path, who are sponsoring www.911walks.org to help people find or pull together their own 9/11 Walks all over the USA and around the world. The goal of these walks is simple: to help people honor all the victims of 9/11 by walking and talking kindly with neighbors and strangers, in celebration of our common humanity and in defiance of fear, misunderstanding, and hatred.

The other day Marty invited some neighborhood kids over to help with a mailing she brought home from work. Before they got started, she sent 12-year-old Heather across the street to fetch 13-year-old Jasmine, who has been part of our fellowship from the very beginning. Heather returned a few minutes later, alone and puzzled.
"They were in there, but they wouldn't open the door" she told Marty. "Jasmine's mother said you need to call her."

I've been on lots of roads trips, but none of them compare to The Walnut Hills Fellowship's weekend journey to Chicago. Start to finish, it was a thing of rare beauty. We had been talking about it for months, of course, but I think most of our neighborhood friends still didn't really believe it was going to happen. After all, people around here are always talking about things they don't really intend to do. [...]

I won't even try to describe all of the maddening details of finding a HUD apartment for a homeless, no-income family that consists of a mother, five kids under the age of nine, and a nurturing father. It suffices to say that after three weeks of slogging through that kind of absurdity and ugliness, I began to understand why the mother, our friend Jaleena, tried to kill herself when her original building got condemned. Even with all that, we barely managed an awful apartment, and by the time [...]

For as long as I can remember, I've ended my letters and e-mails with the encouragement "Keep the faith." I must have picked that up from my father, since he's the only person I know who signs off the same way. It might have been more lucrative for me to have picked up "It's Friday, but Sunday's coming!" instead, but I've always preferred the flexibility of the simpler phrase. Not everyone who hopes for God's grace is a Christian, after all, and we who are surely hope for more than that. We [...]

Lately I keep wishing I was somebody else. Somebody different. Somebody better than me.
Don't worry. I'm not depressed. I am well aware that I have many good qualities and many more good friends. My marriage is strong. My kids are fine. Moreover, I am ever increasingly convinced that the God of love loves me, no matter what I do or don't do.
Unfortunately, none of those things changes the fact that, after nearly 45 years of countless growth opportunities, I remain essentially [...]

Until very recently, I had no idea how hard it is for some of our friends just to find somewhere to lay themselves down to sleep at night. I knew that inner-city families moved around a lot, but I didn't realize how much heartache and humiliation goes before and after most of those moves, both for the families and for the neighborhoods they come and go from in search of better space.
Part of the problem is low incomes, of course, which leave almost everyone around here one minor [...]

GREENSBORO, NC -- Sometimes our Restaurant Report Card Lessons are a no-brainer.
It probably wouldn't surprise you to know raw chicken stored in a 'thank you bag' is a health code violation. But there's a scientific reason why. Chef Keith Gardiner from GTCC explains.
"They're out in the air and a lot of times they're on the racks sitting there so they could be getting dust."
But Keith says people's hands are a bigger concern. "The 'thank you bags' are usually by the cash register, so it's a person that's handling money that opening the bag and putting stuff in it and could be cross contamination."
But the biggest problem? "The bag itself. I would be concerned with that if it is food grade material. It's not made to be in contact with food."
Keith says "Plastic wrap says food surface film. It's food grade plastic. It's made to come in contact with food so you should always use that. The plastic in the thank you bags is a different type of plastic. You want to use things for the purpose they are intended."
Food grade plastic is more pure than plastics used for non-food packaging.

Investigators are working to determine whether an updated underwear bomb could have gotten past airport security.
US officials say the device was seized before it posed a threat to any airliner.
We're told an upgraded version of the bomb used in that failed attack on -- Detroit bound plane back in 2009.
On Christmas Day and it contains no metal parts making it very difficult to detect.
It probably would mean that an individual carrying such a device could could easily walk through the metal detector and and and not set off any alarms.
Which means we would be depending on the individual being -- with a a full body -- And there it's not certain.
Whether the device would be detected this is -- very clever guy very good.
Making bombs.
He's probably al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is number one threat to the United States directly.
Our chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge is live in Washington with more Catherine.
-- thank you John good morning Fox News is told that at least three other countries.
Are involved in this ongoing operation a law enforcement source told fox that there is reason to believe more bombs may be out there.
And this morning the chairman of the house homeland security committee confirmed.
That the killing of this -- five -- who met with the first underwear bomber in 2009.
Before he left Yemen is tied to this ongoing operation.
Focused on the group a QA -- al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
For instance the the killing of the they QAP leader of the weekend that was -- this operation so this is more than just.
One person one bomb.
This is a a larger scale operation and and that's why -- security on this has been so tight.
This morning FBI investigators are working on the device similar to the underwear -- shown here they're looking for here is -- DNA that we'll tie it to the bomb maker.
The device is described to fox as an improvement over this one it does not contain any -- as you mentioned John and the detonator has been modified.
The device -- all the hallmarks of -- Syria was behind the underwear bomb the printer cartridge bombs and a plot to assassinate a Saudi prince in 2009.
This morning the administration stood behind its statements that the device was not tied to the one year anniversary of the seal race.
The statement was that there was no specific credible plot tied to the anniversary of -- -- death.
And that was it is an accurate statement.
But in a briefing to coincide with the anniversary Fox News as a senior counterterrorism official if another device had been picked up.
And it was denied quote.
I'm not familiar with the report you just cited of another bomb in the last six months.
So nothing's been intercepted or picked up not that I know of this morning -- the law enforcement sources told fox that they believe the credibility of homeland security and the FBI has been undercut because on the eve of the anniversary.
They issued a bulletin saying there was no plot when the administration knew a device had been intercepted.
This source questioned whether politics have been put ahead of national security in this case John.
