UDC leads in the formation of the District of Columbia Mayor's College and University Sustainability Pledge
UDC recent led a group of nine District-based universities and colleges in a collective effort to support Sustainable DC. The District of Columbia Mayor's College and University Sustainability Pledge (CUSP) was designed to be meaningful yet flexible commitment intended to produce tangible benefits for DC's local environment and community. Signatory institutions choose from a menu of performance areas in which to take action, such as energy, water, waste, green education and training, and jobs and community development. Using the DC CUSP as a standard, the colleges and universities in the District of Columbia are collectively committed to making Washington, DC the Greenest College Town in America. To view a full version of the signed CUSP click here. To view a list of UDC's initial commitments, click here.
Shades of Green: Washington's Emerging Ecodistricts
Across the country, in places like Seattle, Denver and Portland, Oregon, Ecodistricts are emerging as a common approach to scaling up and accelerating the benefits of sustainable development at a neighborhood level. Shades of Green: Washington's Emerging Ecodistricts was a panel discussion focusing on five ecodistricts in the Washington DC area, including major projects in Arlington, Virginia and downtown Washington, DC. On April 11, 2012, Howard Ways, Director of Planning and Sustainability at the University of the District of Columbia spoke at the National Capital Park and Planning Commission on UDC's innovative sustainability efforts.

UDC Sustainability Reaches Important Milestone
Nearly one year ago, the UDC Sustainability Task Force published its Strategic Sustainability Plan. Over the past year, the university has moved aggressively to implement many of its recommendations. With much accomplished, there is still work to be done in order to fulfill Dr. Allen L. Sessoms of making UDC the most sustainable university in the nation's capital.
Keep up with UDC's sustainability transformation with our newly revised map of the Van Ness Campus.

2012 RecycleMania Competition
Hello UDC Family.
Once again, UDC is participating in the national RecycleMania competition. Last year we ranked 2nd among DC universities, finishing with a recycling rate of nearly 33%.
This year, for the 2012 RecycleMania competition, our recycling numbers are a little down (around 31%) and we have slipped from second into third place among DC universities. Although we rank nationally in the top 100 (currently 95th out of 605 universities across the country) this is a good time to recommit ourselves to being the best, most sustainable university in the nation's capital.

Following the formation of the Commission, the Cherish the Children Foundation was formed to generate private resources to support the activities of the Commission. The Commission organizes 2-3 fundraising events each year including, but not limited to, our Annual Cherish the Children Awards Dinner and the Cherish the Children 5K Race. The Dinner honors our most critical resource, volunteers serving the children of Mercer County. The Race is held each Fall and continues to provide funds to support cultural, educational, and recreational activities for the youth placed in the care of the County.
Educating the public on issues relating to the welfare of children is a very important goal of the Commission. Each Spring, the Commission organizes the Annual Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Training Seminar. At this training conference, a national expert on child welfare is scheduled for a full day seminar. Their presentation imparts vital information to the professionals in our county who are the first to respond to reports of child abuse. In addition, the Commission, in coordination with Prevent Child Abuse New Jersey and Children's Futures, held a full day Teen Parenting Conference this year. The conference provided good parenting skills, knowledge, and child care information to 45-50 teen parents in our county.

text: Hey guys, new here but less new to Role Playing. I enjoy character development in all characters. Bland characters bore me though admittedly I tend to play more militaristic roles. I served in the Marine Corps infantry for four years from '07 to '11 so I find military roles easy to play. Looking for some story to hop into, good with villains and heroes, and even the normal folk. I enjoy fantasy, real world, ancient, and renaissance eras.

- Composition: Blown glass

A legendary shape. Alvar Aalto created the Aalto vase in different forms, sizes and colors for Iittala in 1936, presenting it officially at the international exposition in Paris in 1937. As often happens with great works of art, the vase's shape has been reinterpreted over time. Alvar Aalto would never say how his glass objects should be used, letting the user decide on his own. This freedom of interpretation of the object's function is one of the reasons why the Aalto collection is always fresh and contemporary. Pieces can be presented together or stand alone like a work of art, a true pleasure to own and to give. The Aalto vase is one of the most famous glass objects and can be found in the most important museums worldwide: a symbol of Finnish glass art and Iittala. - Measurements: Height: 9.79 inches
- Product code:58001153QO
- Design that endures over time and improves with everyday use. Iittala proposes objects for those not adhering to the "disposable" culture of today, but prefer to invest in pieces that were made to last. Uniting high-quality craftsmanship with the world's best designers, littala creations will remain favorites over time.

Whether you love Paris flights or evenings spent relaxing in Sydney, the world is your oyster if you want it to be. Far too many people think they can only take a vacation if it is within the same country as their home is. While there's a lot to see almost anywhere, you can find some of the best views in the world if you really go out.
When you spend your spare time abroad, there are some things you need to remember:
Travel Light
When you take cheap Paris flights, discounted Dubai flights or any other kind of trip, remember that it is a vacation. You are not moving there at the moment. So do not take a half-dozen bags or a bunch of junk that you are not even going to use. Typically, one suitcase is fine for personal trips and two are more than enough for anything less than an extended business trip.
Find a Great Deal
Cheap Paris flights are great because you can see the City of Light for a lower price than normal. However, it is a very big world out there, including above and beyond Europe. A lot of people think that Europe is more "civilized" than other continents, but there are major cities on every continent except Antarctica. Do not be afraid to think outside the Eurocentric box.
For example, a lot of cruises through the Mediterranean are offered at low prices, especially in the off-season. If you're interested in taking a month-long cruise, you can head out of Dubai and spend a lot of time going all around Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Since you only have to fly there and back once, you can end up saving a lot versus taking several shorter trips.
Bring a Friend
Traveling around the world is great, but almost anything is better if you bring a friend along. While Paris flights and other long trips can still be a bother because of their duration, having a friend along can go a long way toward breaking up the monotony. This isn't even considering how another person's point of view can change your entire perception of an area.
Taking a trip shouldn't be confined to your country of origin. While staying near home may be fun, you never know what's out there until you explore it. Just be sure you get the best deal you can, and focus on bringing good company instead of just stuff.

Sail-World.com : Singapore Yacht Show gears up for 2012 Edition
Singapore Yacht Show gears up for 2012 Edition
'Singapore Yacht Show 2011' Singapore Yacht Show
The inaugural edition of the Singapore Yacht Show was deemed a great success by the industry and now, almost a year down the track, all the stakeholders, sponsors, exhibitors and organisers alike, are eagerly looking forward to the next show at the end of April 2012.
The superyacht industry is poised to really take off in Asia Pacific, and the event which has been 3 years in the making, is a major driver for this. The organisers are also focussed on getting existing yacht owners from the Mediterranean to come to enjoy the stunning cruising waters immediately surrounding Singapore, in Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia.
In the last few years, the number of millionaires and billionaires in Asia has soared, with the region now one of the key contributors to global wealth growth. China, India, Indonesia and Singapore are all in the top 20 of contributing countries with an astonishing number of high net-worth people who are looking for new ways to invest their money and flaunt their wealth.
The organisers have also succeeded in getting major sponsorship and support from the Singapore Tourism Board. Smart governments in Asia are looking at the importance of the yachting industry, changing their maritime laws and local regulations accordingly. Indonesia, for example, has just eased the restrictions on yachts wishing to cruise their waters, by removing previously punitive tax guarantees and increasing the number of authorised ports for customs clearance. Our colleagues and partners in the Singapore and Asia Pacific Superyacht Industry Associations have played a major role in these changes.
The format of the Singapore Yacht Show has already evolved this year, mainly at the industry's behest. The event organisers are working hand in hand with the Singapore Tourism Board to both promote the Singapore Yacht Show as a real lifestyle event, and to support their aim of promoting Singapore as an extraordinary luxury destination. With its casinos and integrated resorts, its 'free zone' for wealth management, all its high-end entertainment facilities, fine dining and 6-star hotels, it fully deserves its new-found status as the regional hub for the superyacht industry and its attendant big spenders.
The organisers are already generating considerable media attention even this early. Curiosity about the luxury lifestyle of yacht owners, the prestige and status that owning a boat affords, and the trend in Asia to show off personal wealth, are piquing the interest of luxury media, business magazines and the national dailies.
They are leveraging this interest and working out media partnerships in China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. Local TV stations, like Channel News Asia, are keen to get a better understanding of the yachting lifestyle. For an industry that is in its infancy, part of our role is educational - showing those who can afford it, what the yachting lifestyle could mean to them. All the media attention surrounding the event can only be good news for the Singapore Yacht Show and for Informa.

The Poem (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
The unique copy of "The Seafarer" is found in the Exeter Book, a manuscript anthology of Old English poetry assembled about 975 c.e., although many of the poems, including "The Seafarer," may have circulated in oral versions before being written down in the form in which they now exist. The poem's Christian message would seem to rule out any date earlier than the seventh century, when the Anglo-Saxons were converted; at the other extreme, it may have been composed, at least in the form in which it survives, around the time that the scribe copied it into the book in the second half of the tenth century. The 124-line poem is untitled in the manuscript, and its author is unknown. The best-known translation is that of Ezra Pound, whose rendering of the first ninety-nine lines has been widely admired on its own merits by readers with no knowledge of the original.
"The Seafarer," like most Old English poetry, is characterized by textual problems, abrupt transitions, and apparent inconsistencies in tone and structure that combine to render any modern interpretation tentative and subject to revision. Earlier scholars frequently read the poem as a dialogue between an experienced sailor and a young man who has not yet been to sea, dividing the text into alternating speeches (though with little agreement as to where these speeches begin and end). More recently, the critical consensus has come around to the view that the...

Historical Context
Without the interest of Church leaders and the patronage of West Saxon kings, modern readers would have no Old English literature to speak of. While the so-called Anglo-Saxon period of English history extends from 449 to 1066—from the beginning of the conquest of Britain by the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, through the invasions and partial conquest of northern England by the Danishand Norse-speaking Vikings, and until the defeat of the last Saxon King, Harold, by William the Conqueror—the literary period of the Old English peoples really only began after the conversion of these tribes to Christianity. Previous to this event, the literature of the migrating bands had been entirely oral. It consisted of ancient verse forms employing repeated stress patterns and alliteration, and it celebrated heroic figures of even earlier periods. But none of this oral literature could have survived the further invasions and cultural changes that later befell Britain if the tribes had not converted to Christianity and learned the art of letters. Furthermore, since the literate elite of the earlier part of this six-hundred-year period were almost entirely monks and other churchmen, without the abiding interest of ecclesiastical authorities in their ancestors' pagan roots, none of the poetry of the Angles and Saxons would have ever obtained to writing. Still, it was King Alfred (849-899) and his successors in Wessex who vigorously collected and preserved the literary heritage of...

The Seafarer (Magill Book Reviews)
The sailor begins with the reasons for his sorrow. His only home has been a ship constantly encountering indifferent forces, the sea and the cold. The prosperous man situated on land does not know the icy feeling of exile, the feeling of being cut off from one's loved ones. The sailor's joy has been the cry of sea birds instead of the laughter of men. On the sea, he says, there is no protector for men. Those on land, flushed with wine, are incapable of believing in his suffering.
Nonetheless, the sailor maintains that the heart's desire is to venture forth on another journey. At the same time, he warns, there is no man so brave he can escape the anxiety that accompanies seafaring. His thoughts are not of music, riches, or women, but of his own longing. Not satisfaction, but dissatisfaction urges his heart and mind "over the stretch of seas."
This yearning leads him to the "joys of the Lord," which are not earthly. There are three things that are always uncertain until they come: illness, old age, and hostility, each of which entertains the possibility of death. Why then, he wonders, should one wish for earthly fame? One should rather seek fame among the angels.
The best days and their joys, he concludes, are gone, and weaklings have come to power. When a man dies, none of his former joys will have meaning. Thus it is foolish not to fear the Lord, but one is blessed who lives humbly--as presumably the seafarer has...
(The entire section is 333 words.)
Forms and Devices (Masterplots II: Poetry, Revised Edition)
Old English poetry is alliterative, relying on repetition of the initial sounds of stressed syllables rather than on rhymes at the ends of lines as its structural principle. The details of this alliterative practice can be quite complicated, but the most typical form is illustrated by lines 31-32 of "The Seafarer," which appear thus in the original Old English: "Nap niht-scua, nor an sniwde,/ hrim hrusan band, hægl feoll on eor an" ("Neareth nightshade, snoweth from north,/ Frost froze the land, hail fell on earth then"). Each line is divided into two half lines (separated by editorially provided commas in these examples), and the alliterating letters for each line (n and h) must occur in both halves. Each half line usually has two stressed syllables, and while either or (more often) both may alliterate in the first half line (the "a" line), in the second half line (the "b" line), the first stressed syllable must alliterate and the second must not.
While there are many threads of imagery throughout the poem, including those of cold, barrenness, and the progression of the seasons, the central metaphor is surely that of the ship at sea, which was used throughout classical and medieval literature in a variety of permutations to symbolize human life. The specifically Christian version of the image used in this poem typically identifies the waves and salinity of the sea with the uncertainty and bitterness of postlapsarian...
(The entire section is 479 words.)
Literary Style
"The Seafarer" was probably first sung by a poet in the mead-halls of princes and kings, accompanied by the traditional instrument, the harp; thus the communal and oral nature of ancient poetry is reflected in the poem's structure.
Old English poetry has a special structure. In its original form, each line is divided symmetrically into two halves, one stressed and the other unstressed in its emphasis. To better appreciate what Old English looks like, here are the first two lines, untranslated, of "The Seafarer":
Maeg ic be me selfum soth-gied wrecan,
Sithas secgan hu ic geswinc-dagum
"The Seafarer" has two major parts, lines 1-64 (part 1) and lines 65-126 (part 2). Some scholars consider the poem a dramatic monologue by the same speaker moving between two subjects; others think the poem is a dialogue between a young, inexperienced sailor and an old, wise veteran of the sea giving advice about life's ultimate rewards. The poem has many repeated words and phrases that sound familiar, probably because they are borrowed from other sources such as the Psalms in the Bible. Missionaries from the Mediterranean and Ireland came to the native Celts in England during the 7th century; priests and monks may have transcribed old poetry and added their Christian views to a previously secular poem.
Old English poetry tends to use alliteration and rhythm. Another distinctive...

Compare and Contrast
600-100 BC: Although Germanic peoples were first mentioned in writing some six hundred years before the common era, they did not "officially" burst into the Mediterranean world until the second century BC with the invasion of Italy by the Cimbri and the Teutons, who were finally routed by the Romans in 101 BC.
58-51 BC: Caesar decides to invade Transalpine Gaul in 58 BC when protests by various Gallic tribes in loose confederation with Rome arise against the Suevi, a German tribe that had recently conquered territory in Gaul, and when he hears reports of a threatened invasion by the Helvetii, a Celtic tribe from the area that is now in Switzerland. Not only does he force the Helvetii to withdraw, but he also kills the Suevi's leader, Ariovistus, in Alsace after an arduous offensive. Over the course of the various campaigns that constitute the "Gallic Wars," Caesar has many occasions to meet and defeat various Germanic tribes, like the Usipites and Tencteri, that were then crossing the Rhine into Celtic territories. Caesar's consolidation of Roman power in Gaul stops Germanic migration into the area for a while.
AD 9: Roman power in Gaul continues to grow after Caesar's adopted son, Augustus, settles his imperial claims at the end of the Roman Civil Wars and consolidates power. But in AD 9, Arminius (c. 17 BC-AD 21), a Cherusci tribal chieftain, leads a confederation of tribes in ambush and utterly destroys...

Topics for Further Study
Given that many people have little idea of how those of former times viewed themselves or their cultural worlds, is it indeed possible for modern readers to relate to an art form and a cultural perspective that is so utterly foreign to postindustrial and postmodern reality? Should we even try to read "The Seafarer" from the original audience's point of view? If this seems impossible, then how should we read this poem? Can we read it any way we wish using reader's response?
Since "The Seafarer" constitutes a form of lyric poetry called elegy—that is, a private reflection upon the tragic aspects of life's transitory nature— how is it similar or dissimilar to elegies from later periods of English literature, such as John Milton's "Lycidas" or Thomas Grey's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard"? Is there some quality that links all these poems together despite the vast differences that exist between them as to time and cultural perspective? If so, then what exactly in "The Seafarer" makes it elegiac?
Even if we no longer share cultural memory with the writer of "The Seafarer," we do share at least some sense of the passing of the good old days? Everyone has some sort of precious memory of their own glory days toward which they feel a mixture of joy and regret. It could be adventures from the golden days of childhood or the swift passing away of childhood's good feelings. Break up into small groups and...

Media Adaptations
Selected Readings in Old English, read by Edward N. Irving, Jr., in 1996 for Brigham Young University's Chaucer Studios, contains "The Seafarer" among other poems in the original Old English. You can order this tape directly via the web at http://English.byu.edu/Chaucer. You can also download a sample of Old English poetry at the same web address with the suffix /oldeng.htm.
Also out of BYU's Chaucer Studio comes another recording of Old English short poems along with riddles, made in 1990 by Rosamund Allen of the University of London under the title Old English Elegies and Riddles.

What Do I Read Next?
Those who are not only interested in Old English literature but also charmed by Burton Raffel's masterful translation should pick up Signet's 1999 reprint of Raffel's Beowulf. Considerably longer than "The Seafarer" elegy, this epic narrates the exploits of some of the great heroes of the Germanic tribal past.
Hard-core enthusiasts of Old English literature and Burton Raffel will also want to read Poems and Prose from the Old English, translated and edited by Burton Raffel with the editorial assistance of Alexandra Hennessey Olsen in Yale University Press's 1998 reissue of an entirely restructured and expanded version of Raffel's outof- print classic. In fact, this edition includes the very translation of "The Seafarer" used here in Poetry for Students along with prose works by King Alfred the Great and other great prose stylists, lay and monastic, with more elegies, heroic poems, religious verse, and wisdom poetry.
Just to round out one's knowledge of the literature of the Old English period, any interested student should read Stanley B. Greenfield's Critical History of Old English Literature, published by New York University Press in 1965. Greenfield does an excellent job of providing indepth analysis of the entire Old English corpus using modern translations only. Translations from Raffel's Poems and Prose from the Old English are especially featured in Greenfield's study.featured...

New fund for innovative community learning Wednesday, July 4, 2012 - 08:00
The Community Learning Innovation Fund (CLIF) - a new £4million grants fund from the Skills Funding Agency, managed by NIACE - is now closed for applications. We would like to thank everyone who has submitted a bid and we will notify all applicants of the outcome of their applications on Thursday 16 August 2012.
The fund will provide grants between £10,000 and £65,000 to groups and organisations from across England for new and imaginative community learning opportunities to encourage adults to take up, succeed and progress in learning. It will support projects - which will run from September 2012 to July 2013 - to develop and offer creative learning opportunities that support the objectives set out in the recent policy reform document from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS), New Challenges, New Chances.
Funding will be awarded to projects which best illustrate the development of creative community learning provision that will:
- widen participation in learning and transform people's destinies;
- promote social renewal and develop stronger communities;
- maximise the impact of community learning on individuals, families and communities;
- effectively sustain the impact of the learning; and
- align the project with the work of emerging Community Learning Trusts, a distinct but complementary initiative recently announced by BIS.
Geoff Russell, Chief Executive of the Skills Funding Agency, said:
"I am pleased to announce this Fund. We have recently celebrated Adult Learners' Week, and been inspired by how learning can transform people's lives by giving them increased self-confidence, a better quality of life, building stronger families and communities. We know there is no one-size fits all model of learning, and what is really exciting about this Fund is that it empowers community organisations to think creatively about how they respond to the needs of local people in a sustainable way."
Sue O'Gorman, NIACE Programme Manager, said:
"We have seen with the recent Adult and Community Learning Fund how even a very small project can make a huge difference to the lives of individuals, their families and the communities they live in. We are delighted that the Skills Funding Agency has been able to continue their vital support for these kinds of initiatives. We want to hear from groups and organisations from across the country which recognise the kind of learning that adults want and need in their communities. Together we can help transform the destinies of some of the most marginalised people in society by helping them to progress in ways that are most relevant to their lives."

Book Review: 'Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion'
0I'm not the target audience for Mark Salisbury's book Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion. That's because I never saw the 1970s soap that inspired Tim Burton's film "Dark Shadows," and I didn't find the movie particularly entertaining. I thought it was better than Burton's "Alice in Wonderland," but not one of his all-time best. However, I am a sucker for coffee table books, especially ones about movies, which is why I decided to check out Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion. I knew it would be a quick, easy read with lots of big glossy photos and fascinating behind the scenes stories. And it didn't disappoint!
Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion features a foreword by Johnny Depp, the movie's lead actor and frequent Burton collaborator, as well as an introduction by Burton himself. Neither of these statements are very long, although Depp's foreword is especially entertaining. Even if it was ghostwritten, the section captures his unique voice perfectly with statements like "The character of Barnabas Collins possessed a sense of elegance that bewitched me."
Following these opening statements is a section on the history of how the project came to be, which annoyingly repeats some of the same sentiments expressed in Depp and Burton's intros. After that, the book delves into original material again, taking a logical approach to organizing itself: Chapter 1 (Cast), Chapter 2 (The Sets), Chapter 3 (Costume, Hair & Makeup, Prosthetics), Chapter 4 (Cinematography, Stunts, Special Effects), and Chapter 5 (Visual Effects, Editing, Scoring).
Each chapter contains a pleasing mixture of behind the scenes photos, concept art, and anecdotes from the cast and crew. Frustratingly though, captions are not placed next to images. Instead there is a single page in the back which has them, forcing you to flip back if you want to know who or what is featured on a specific page. The most hilarious interview snippets come from Depp of course, who is the only person in the book who requires censoring. He drops an f-bomb, which is politely altered so as not to offend readers.
My favorite discoveries mainly involved how the filmmakers created the costumes, sets, and effects for this supernatural flick. I loved hearing about how movie magic was used to create this quirky world. Although it was also intriguing to learn that Michelle Pfeiffer who plays the Collins family matriarch, was a huge fan of the "Dark Shadows" television show and practically begged Burton for a role in the movie.
Perhaps the most bittersweet part of Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion, is its afterword by the late producer Richard D. Zanuck, to whom the book is dedicated. Zanuck had an extremely long and successful career working on many iconic films, so it's surprising to hear him describe this cast and his crew as one of his all-time favorites. I wonder how much of his statements were derived from truth, and whether he was putting on a kind face for publicity's sake. Unfortunately we'll never get the chance to ask him.
Despite my lack of enthusiasm for the film "Dark Shadows" I still dug Mark Salisbury's book, so if you're a huge fan of Burton, Depp, the movie, or the television show, you'll probably have just as much fun with this book.
Dark Shadows: The Visual Companion is available in stores and online at www.titanbooks.com.
Review: Tim Burton's 'Dark Shadows'
2You know how "Pirates of the Caribbean" was a Disney ride before it became a Johnny Depp film? Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows," which also stars Depp, could easily be the reverse: a movie that inspires a theme park ride. Just like an amusement park attraction, Burton's flick focuses more on spectacle than it does on substance.
The movie opens with Barnabas Collins (Depp) over-dramatically narrating his back story. In the 1700s, his family leaves Britain to settle in colonial Maine. After arriving, they establish the town of Collinsport and start a lucrative fishing business that allows them to build a palatial manor called Collinwood.
Flashing forward, we see Barnabas as a handsome man with loving parents and the woman of his dreams. He doesn't remain happy for long; because the jealous witch Angelique (Eva Green), rips away everything that's important to him. She transforms Barnabas into a monstrous vampire and convinces the townspeople to bury him alive. Unfortunately he sits undisturbed until 1972, when construction workers unwittingly free him.
Barnabas returns home to find his beloved Collinwood in shambles and a group of dysfunctional descendents living there. Once he discovers that Angelique has stripped his family of their wealth and reputation over the centuries, Barnabas vows to restore their good name and to defeat her. Everyone in the Collins clan is puzzled by his strange clothes and mannerisms, but they rapidly embrace his positive thinking and fierce loyalty.
As you might guess, the majority of the humor in "Dark Shadows" is derived from the culture shock that Barnabas experiences as a result missing 200 years of history. It doesn't get any funnier than Barnabas quoting Steve Miller's song "The Joker" or reeling in disgust from glam rocker Alice Cooper, who he refers to as "the ugliest woman I have ever seen." However these jokes start to get old as the movie goes on.
Despite his ugly bowl cut and outdated social skills, Depp oozes his bravado as Barnabas Collins, even when telling someone to kiss his ass, "You may strategically place your wonderful lips upon my posterior and kiss it repeatedly!" Michelle Pfeiffer works well as the present-day Collins matriarch in spite of her lack of intelligent dialogue, but her rebellious daughter played by Chloe Grace Moretz is annoying. Honorable mention should go to Johnny Lee Miller who is perfect as Pfeiffer's sleazy, thief of a brother and Jackie Earle Haley who's a riot as the family's drunken groundskeeper.
Depp isn't the only Burton regular to return for "Dark Shadows." Burton's lady friend Helena Bonham Carter portrays the booze addled psychiatrist living with the Collins family, and composer Danny Elfman handles the music. Stylistically, "Dark Shadows" is very similar to other Burton films, which gives it a bit of a stale quality. Everything is very gray like in "Edward Scissorhands" and the score has a madcap quality to it reminiscent of "Beetlejuice."
Perhaps the most disappointing aspect of "Dark Shadows" is its villain. Green does a fine job as the diabolical Angelique; however her motivations aren't very complex. When she finally confronts the Collins family in a magical showdown, the special effects are incredibly cheesy. Her cracking porcelain form looks like a cheap rip off from "Death Becomes Her."
Since I haven't seen the 60s British soap "Dark Shadows" is based on, I can't really speculate on its quality as an adaptation. Although I can certainly say this movie isn't Burton's finest work. At least it's funnier and less bizarre than his previous flick "Alice in Wonderland."

SCREENING THE ENVIRONMENT: Environmental exposures had been thought too challenging to systematically screen for disease associations. But a team of researchers has created a method to look for environmental risk factors the same way other scientists screen for genetic markers.

With a scan through a sample of genomes from several individuals, researchers can tease out links among genetic variations and particular diseases. These genome-wide association studies have clarified some of the genes involved in predisposing people for rheumatoid arthritis, bipolar disorder, Crohn's disease, diabetes and other disorders, paving the way for new study and better treatments.
For many complex diseases, however, genetics tell only part of the story. Environmental factors, such as diet and chemical exposure, have become increasingly obvious players in determining a person's risk of various diseases. But these environmental exposures have long been regarded as too nuanced and variable to measure with the same specificity as genetics.
A team of researchers at Stanford University is hoping to change that. In a study, published online May 20 in the journal PLoS ONE, they describe a new, environmental-based risk factor screening for type 2 diabetes, a technique they have dubbed environmental-wide association study (or EWAS, after GWAS, which stands for genome-wide association study). It promises to uncover new environmental links for this disease and others.
"Everyone's been focused on the genetic causes of the disease," says Atul Butte, an assistant professor of biomedical informatics and pediatrics at Stanford. But, he notes, lately "people are dissatisfied with the little amount of risk we can explain with genetics."
Genetic flags for type 2 diabetes, from which 23.6 million people in the U.S. suffer, have failed to explain away much of an individual's apparent risk. And even though macro lifestyle factors, such as high sugar intake and little exercise, have been shown to increase a person's risk for diabetes, Butte and his colleagues were not satisfied. "Are we that sure nothing else in the environment is playing a role in diabetes?" he asks.
According to their new analysis of 266 environmental variables and the presence of type 2 diabetes in thousands of individuals who participated in a national health survey, Butte and his team were able to confirm suspected links, including PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls, which are now banned in the U.S. but can still be found in old capacitors, fiberglass and adhesives), and also uncover new ones, such as a pesticide product and a common form of vitamin E.
Bioinformatics for the environment
The environmental components people come into contact with throughout their lives are basically endless, so assessing an individual's total history of exposure might seem impossible. But with data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (administered by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), Butte and his colleagues were able to get solid information on environmental factors (measured from blood and urine samples and logged in databases) and individuals' health, disease diagnoses and fasting blood sugar levels (an indicator that can show the presence of diabetes).
Though the studied list of environmental factors is by no means exhaustive, the chemical variables can be analyzed along the same lines as selected single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that geneticists run on a genetic chip. "They can't put every variant on there," Butte says of genomic researchers. But when a scan does pick up a particular SNP, it might represent dozens of others that were not specifically being tested. So rather than providing a comprehensive list, both genetics and the EWAS model can detect a signal that indicates "we should be looking at that entire category" of chemicals or SNPs, he says.
The project came about as an idea from a Stanford graduate student, Chirag Patel, the lead author on the study, who approached Butte wanting to find a way "to use bioinformatics for the environment," Butte explains.
Patel created a specialized computer program to assess the relevant information gathered from the CDC's health survey databases. After controlling for age, sex, body mass index, ethnicity and socioeconomic status, the group found that those with high levels of PCBs had a 15 percent chance of having type 2 diabetes, a correlation that had been shown in previous studies. They also found that high levels of beta-carotene seemed to have a protective effect, reducing risk of having diabetes by about 9 percent (another link that had been seen in other studies, though had not been proven in clinical trials).
The big surprises came from a chemical previously found in pesticides and a common form of vitamin E—levels of which seemed to influence the chances that an individual would have diabetes. Heptachlor epoxide is derived from a pesticide that was banned in the U.S. in the 1980s. It is still found in soil and water supplies and can turn up in food and be passed along in breast milk. High levels of it seemed to increase type 2 diabetes risk to about 7 percent. And having low levels of the gamma-tocopherol form of vitamin E, found in fruits, nuts and vegetables, seemed to improve the chances an individual would not have type 2 diabetes by 7 percent.
