Richard "Dick" Fox '68, '70G, Receives College of Engineering's Bryand Award
December 1st, 2008Richard "Dick" Fox, chief executive officer of CDM, a global consulting, engineering, construction, and operations firm based in Cambridge, Mass., has been awarded the highest honor for alumni by the University of Maine College of Engineering.
Fox, who directed the successful Boston Harbor Cleanup from 1987 to 1992, received the Edward T. Bryand Distinguished Engineering Award for his contributions to improve conditions around the world through the application of civil engineering at a Nov. 14 ceremony at UMaine.
In his remarks, he shared his humility and honor in receiving the award, especially before an audience of current and emeriti faculty.
"I am aware of what a prestigious group I have joined. I am particularly touched because this award is given by my alma mater," said Fox who expressed respect for professors Wayne Hall, Miranda Ghosh, Otis Sproul and Frank Woodard, as well as for the prior recipients of the Bryand Award. He also offered appreciation for his wife, Patricia Arbour Fox '68. And he asked faculty to encourage students to understand that "none of us is as smart as all of us."
Fox, who earned a bachelor's and master's degree in civil engineering from UMaine in 1968 and 1970, began his career as an officer in the U.S. Naval Civil Engineer Corps. In 1974 he joined CDM, which currently has 4600 employees and 130 offices worldwide. Ten years later he earned a law degree from Suffolk University. President of CDM since 1998, he is a registered professional engineer in three states and a board certified environmental engineer in the American Academy of Environmental Engineers.
In addition to directing the Boston Harbor Cleanup, one of the largest wastewater projects ever undertaken in the United States, he served as program manager of the upgrade to the wastewater facilities system for Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn., and as senior program advisor to the Hong Kong Drainage Services Department as part of the $900 million effort to clean up Victoria Harbor.
Through it all, Fox has never forgotten his roots. He credits the stellar education he received at UMaine for his thriving career, and says his approachable, knowledgeable professors, stimulating, enjoyable classes, and motivated classmates gave him the skills he needed to succeed in the workplace.
"The quality of the degree I got in environmental engineering is as good as you can get. The topics that the department was choosing for research were at the heart of where the industry was going," said Fox. He noted that then Environmental Engineering Professor Otis Sproul was making a name for himself as an expert in viral inactivation, and that then Civil Engineering Professor Frank Woodard, a former Bryand Award recipient, was being hailed as a specialist in industrial waste treatment.
Calling his master's degree program "the extra little shot I needed to get into the industry and feel confident and comfortable going into the world," Fox said his classmates thrived on competition.
"Each of us spurred the other on and everybody was driven to a high standard of excellence. I knew that if I could go nose to nose with my classmates at UMaine, I could go nose to nose with anyone. We became really close friends and have stayed in touch."
Someone else who had a huge influence on Fox's career path was Environmental Engineering Professor Wayne Hall. "He was an engaging lecturer who made environmental engineering – a topic which was only then emerging – come alive," Fox recalled. "Then, in 1972 the Clean Water Act was passed and environmental engineering took off. Looking back, I say to myself, 'thanks, Wayne!'"
Even his UMaine athletic experience became an important vehicle for obtaining life lessons, according to Fox. As a member of the Black Bear football team which competed in the 1965 Tangerine Bowl in Orlando, Fla., Fox said he learned how combined effort and hard work can produce outstanding results.
"I hadn't played high school football, so I was still learning the game when I was at UMaine. Besides being really great athletes, the men on the team were extraordinarily helpful people and were very willing to teach me. So I learned how critical teamwork is, whether you're on a football field or on an engineering project."
Fox continued that theme during his acceptance speech that evening when he asked the College of Engineering faculty to encourage their students to understand that "none of us is as smart as all of us." For example, when CDM was building schools in Pakistan after an earthquake, engineers had to rely on a sociologist to negotiate with villagers on locations for the school. Also during his speech, Fox urged faculty to instill in their students an appreciation for diversity and for other cultures.
Although Fox can cite any number of professional achievements of which he is tremendously proud, managing the $4.3 billion Boston Harbor Clean-Up Project was particularly significant for him.
"It was such a phenomenal experience – there was so much satisfaction for all of us. We cleaned up the harbor and we returned it to New England. The dolphins came back, the shellfish came back. I felt good about that. It was an unbelievably challenging project, especially because many large scale public projects had suffered from poor quality and poor management. Nobody believed it could be done, but we came in $500 million under budget and on schedule. It was kind of a first for a big project."
After nearly 40 years, Fox still is passionate about being an environmental engineer.
"Engineers do so much for people – our mission is to make life better! You see it much more graphically when you're working on projects in developing countries – like building schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan or a water system for a village in Africa. As an engineer you feel really good about being involved in things like this which have very dramatic impacts. "
Speaking to engineering students while on campus to receive his award, Fox said he was asked countless times by the young men and women whether to continue their schooling after graduation or enter the work force.
"I told them that it's really important to be able to get up in the morning and like what you're going to do that day. I told them to stop for five minutes and just think about what you really like to do. Instead of thinking about your next pedigree, think about what makes you happy. Then match your actions to that. And don't hesitate to change. If, two or three years down the road, you find you're not content, then get into something else.
"With a degree in engineering you can do just about anything."

Chemicals in Environment Have Unknown Serious Impact on Breast Health
- Categorized in: 2010 Issues, July 2010
BETHESDA MD—While it's important that researchers continue to search for gene variations that could increase risk for breast cancer, mapping out the environmental factors that contribute to the disease may be a greater challenge. The interplay of lifestyle and the environment, along with the sheer amount of chemicals and contaminants a woman can be exposed to over her lifetime, makes the environmental side of the equation truly daunting.
The Chemical Dangers
Early life environmental exposures can have a lifelong impact on breast development and function, explained Suzanne Fenton, PhD, at a symposium on the campuses of NIH this spring on women's health and the environment. A researcher in the NIEHS National Toxicology Program, Fenton and her lab focus on women whose breast cancer has no easily identifiable familial link.
"Twenty-seven percent of all women are diagnosed with breast cancer. However, breast cancer is not the number one cause of cancer death in women. That belongs to lung cancer. Breast cancer ranks number two at 15%," Fenton stated. "That's because we've done a good job at treating breast cancer but our goal is also to prevent it." That means knowing what chemicals affect breast health, how they affect it, and when during women's development are they most susceptible to exposure.
Chemicals in the environment that disrupt hormone levels and interfere with natural hormones are called endocrine disrupting compounds. EDCs can interfere with the synthesis, secretion, transport, binding, or elimination of natural hormones in the body that are responsible for the maintenance of homeostasis. "For the last 40 years, labs have been funded to look at exposures and breast cancer risk," Fenton said. "Billions of dollars have been spent globally to investigate this."
Researchers have looked at circulating chemical levels of women recently diagnosed with breast cancer, at potential exposures to chemicals applied to fields and lawns, and at occupational exposures that are correlated with breast cancer. The result is a handful of strong links and many remaining questions.
DDT and dioxins are two of what Fenton describes as "gold medal" chemicals—because the evidence of their link to breast cancer being so strong. In examining DDT, researchers looked at women who were 14 years of age or older during the years prior to 1931. "There was a protective effect for those women, because DDT wasn't in the environment. The women who were a bit younger had a 4-fold increase of breast cancer risk. The people who were four-to-seven years old during this peak of DDT use had an almost 10-fold risk with an 11-fold risk for those younger than four." Similar results were seen with dioxin—an environmental pollutant that is a chemical byproduct of manufacturing.
Critical Periods of Development
But exposure is not the only variable. Another is when, during her development, a woman has been exposed. Researchers have focused on when women are most susceptible to chemical exposure and when a toxin can do the most damage. Fenton identified three critical periods of development, when exposure can lead to long-lasting health impacts.
The first is in-vitro. If a mother is exposed to a harmful chemical when pregnant, there can be a dramatic impact on the fetus. "Development is a highly integrated process," Fenton declared. "During the nine months that it's developing, a baby forms all of the organs it will need for the next 80 years of its life. This rapid growth leaves many opportunities for lesions, promotion of altered cells, and abnormalities to occur.
"Mammary gland outgrowth happens before birth. Altered developmental programming has shown to a significant health outcome, as has altered pubertal development in appropriate gender-specific characteristics." For example, in rat experiments, a rat fetus exposed to an antiandrogen can result in the connection to the nipple not being ablated before birth, leading to a male rat with a functional mammary gland.
The second critical period is puberty. For eight to 13-year old girls, it's a period of exponential growth, and a time that researchers know that mammary glands are particularly sensitive to chemical carcinogens. In pubertal exposures, precocious development can occur—when puberty happens earlier than expected—which could lead to further sensitivity to chemical carcinogens.
"We actually have an epidemic of precocious puberty in girls in the US," Fenton noted. "It's caused pediatricians over the last couple of years to kind of rewrite the book on what precocious puberty is in girls. We thought it was abnormal at eight or nine years old to have [stage two breast development]. It's not abnormal anymore."
The third critical period of development is lobular development during pregnancy. "You can affect lactation. You can affect the ability to provide milk and the length of lactation, which can lead to offspring mortality," Fenton stated. This can have lasting impact on multiple generations. In rat studies, those rats whose lactation was affected by chemical exposure had offspring that were malnourished and dramatically underweight.
"Even in a third generation, we saw dramatic decreases in weight gain in the pups. This is because the mammary glands were underdeveloped at the time they were bred."
The Knowledge Gaps
There are approximately 85,000 chemicals that are approved for commercial use. Of those only 2% have been tested for their health impacts. "In 2007, Silent Spring Institute did an analysis of those that have been tested and found that 216 chemicals have been found to cause mammary tumors in at least one rodent bioassay," Fenton said.
"We're clearly not identifying chemicals that affect breast cancer risk very well," she declared. "One likely reason is that some of the assays that have traditionally been used don't contain the periods of developmental sensitivity."
To help fix that problem the National Toxicology Program is incorporating critical windows into their studies. "We're using mammary gland whole-mounts in evaluation of all the chemicals that may have some sort of EDC-type effect."
However, the knowledge-gap is not limited to which chemicals are harmful, but also in understanding of breast development. The rise of precocious puberty might mean that these girls are subjected to longer periods of chemical sensitivity. "[Even when] girls begin breast development early, their breast development ends with the timing of menses. But the timing of menses hasn't changed over time, while the time of breast development has. If their breasts are beginning to develop early and taking longer to develop, the important structures in their breasts are available for a second hit from the environment," Fenton said. "We really need to better understand this sensitivity."

A Special Challenge to Pastors Regarding the Unborn
I did a phone interview for a film called The Life Project, produced by Verite Studios. Our office received an email from Timothy Eaton, the director, in which he wrote:
Pastors know that roughly one out of five women in their congregations have had an abortion. Many pastors have had abortions in their families. Many pastors may not have counseled unwed pregnant women strongly enough against aborting their babies. It is a subject fraught with pain for any congregation.

America is still great but she is teetering toward disaster.
Almost 234 years ago some very brave men met in Philadelphia. Led by Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, they declared our nation's independence. The Father of our Country, George Washington, formed a small citizen army. They were undertrained, underequiped and underfunded.

Watkins Announces 2011-12 Visiting Artists Series
Five Acclaimed Artists Set for Lectures and Exhibition
(October 24, 2011)
Watkins College of Art, Design & Film will bring five renowned artists to campus during the 2011-12 academic year for the expanded Watkins Visiting Artists Series. Artemio Rodriguez, Natalia Almada, David Hilliard, Harrell Fletcher and Alec Soth are scheduled for this series of Thursday night lectures, which are free and open to the public.
The guest artists, whose work crosses many disciplinary boundaries, will give public presentations, sharing their expertise and perspectives on their careers and providing insight into current issues facing contemporary artists and designers, as well as meet with relevant classes in which they will conduct a workshop and/or critique student work.
The Watkins Visiting Artists Series is an annual year-long program which welcomes nationally and internationally recognized fine artists, designers, filmmakers, educators and critics to the campus and the community. Through the generous support of the Memorial Foundation, this year's series builds upon last year's 125th anniversary series of three lectures by presenting four lectures in the Watkins Theater plus an exhibition in the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Gallery.
Specific dates, times and programming for each artist's visit will be posted to the Watkins website (Watkins.edu/VisitingArtistsSeries). Below is the year's full line-up, followed by details on each visiting artist:
- November 17, 2011 – Artemio Rodriguez, printmaker
- January 26, 2012 – Natalia Almada, filmmaker
- February 9, 2012 – David Hilliard, photographer, in conjunction with Visiting Artist's Exhibition
- March 29, 2012 – Harrell Fletcher, multidisciplinary artist
- April 26, 2012 – Alec Soth, photographer
Artemio Rodriguez on Thursday, November 17
Reception at 6:00 p.m.; Lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Watkins Theater
Artemio Rodriguez was born in Tacámbaro, Michoacán, Mexico, and studied agronomy at the Universidad Autonomo Chapingo. He was introduced to art when he apprenticed and learned letterpress printing from Juan Pasco, a master print maker working out of the Taller Martín Pescador near Rodriguez's hometown. As a printmaker who works primarily in black and white, Rodriguez's signature style emphasizes simplicity and clarity. European medieval woodcuts and the great Mexican print artists such as Jose Guadalupe Posada have been influential in Rodriguez's printmaking career. Though comfortable working in a wide variety of artistic media — he has departed at times from paper to apply his imagery on cars and even skateboards — Rodriguez regards his ten years as a printmaker as the beginning of a long quest. His larger goal is to keep exploring and promoting printmaking until he feels he has contributed something important to the medium. He fully expects this to take a lifetime. In 2002 he founded La Mano Press in Los Angeles California. La Mano Press is an artist-run center dedicated to the promotion and appreciation of printmaking. Rodriguez's work has been featured in galleries in the United States and Mexico. He has also illustrated and published several books. After living in Los Angeles for many years, Rodriguez recently relocated back to his hometown in Mexico.
Natalia Almada on Thursday, January 26, 2012
Screening of "El Velador" begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Watkins Theater; Q&A discussion to follow
Recipient of the 2009 Sundance Documentary Directing Award for her film "El General," Natalia Almada's most recent film "El Velador" (2011) premiered at New Directors/New Films and the Cannes' Directors' Fortnight. Her previous credits include "All Water Has a Perfect Memory," an experimental short film that received international recognition, and "Al Otro Lado," her award-winning debut feature documentary about immigration, drug trafficking and corrido music. Almada's films have screened at the Sundance Film Festival, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Biennial, with all three feature documentaries broadcast on the award-winning series POV. Almada is a MacDowell Colony Fellow, a 2008 Guggenheim Fellow and 2010 USA Artist Fellow, and a recipient of the Alpert Award. She graduated with a Masters in Fine Arts in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and shares her time between Mexico City and Brooklyn, New York.
David Hilliard on Thursday, February 9, 2012
Remarks begin at 5:15 p.m. in the Watkins Theater; Opening Reception for David Hilliard exhibition begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr, Gallery
The Visiting Artist Exhibition runs through March 2
David Hilliard creates large-scale, multi-paneled color photographs, often based on his life or the lives of people around him. His panoramas direct the viewer's gaze across the image surface allowing narrative, time and space to unfold. Hilliard received his BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1992 and MFA from Yale University in 1994. He worked for many years as an assistant professor at Yale University where he also directed the undergraduate photo department. He has also taught at Harvard University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and spent the spring of 2010 at Dartmouth College as their artist in residence. He is currently an assistant professor in Boston at the Massachusetts College of Art and visiting faculty at Harvard. Hilliard exhibits his photographs both nationally and internationally and has won numerous awards, such as the Fulbright and Guggenheim. His photographs can be found in many important collections including the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. His work is represented by the Yancey Richardson Gallery in New York, Carroll and Sons Gallery in Boston, Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, the Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica and in Paris at La Galerie Particuliere. In 2005 a collection of his photographs was published in a monograph by Aperture Press.
Harrell Fletcher on March 29, 2012
Reception at 6:00 p.m.; Lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Watkins Theater
Harrell Fletcher has worked collaboratively and individually on a variety of socially engaged, interdisciplinary projects for over a decade. His work has been shown at SF MoMA, the de Young Museum, the Berkeley Art Museum and the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, in the San Francisco area; the Drawing Center, Socrates Sculpture Park, the Sculpture Center, the Wrong Gallery and Smackmellon in New York City; DiverseWorks and Aurora Picture Show in Houston; PICA in Portland, Oregon; CoCA and the Seattle Art Museum in Seattle; Signal in Malmo, Sweden; Domain de Kerguehennec in France; and the Royal College of Art in London. Fletcher exhibits in San Francisco and Los Angeles with Jack Hanley Gallery, in New York City with Christine Burgin Gallery, in London with Laura Bartlett Gallery, and in Paris with Gallery In Situ. He was a participant in the 2004 Whitney Biennial. In 2002 Fletcher started Learning To Love You More, an ongoing participatory website with Miranda July. His current traveling exhibition, The American War, originated in 2005 at ArtPace in San Antonio, Texas, and traveled in 2006 to Virginia, New York City, Boston and Portland. A 2005 recipient of the Alpert Award in Visual Arts, Fletcher is a professor in the School of Fine & Performing Arts at Portland State University.
Alec Soth on Thursday, April 26, 2012
Reception at 6:00 p.m.; Lecture begins at 6:30 p.m. in the Watkins Theater
Born and based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Alec Soth is a photographer whose work is rooted in the distinctly American tradition of 'on-the-road photography' developed by Walker Evans, Robert Frank and Stephen Shore. A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, he is the recipient of several major fellowships from the Bush, McKnight and Jerome Foundations and was awarded the 2003 Santa Fe Prize for Photography. Soth's work is represented in major public and private collections, including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. His photographs have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, including the 2004 Whitney and São Paulo Biennials. In 2008, a large survey exhibition of his work was exhibited at Jeu de Paume in Paris and Fotomuseum Winterthur in Switzerland. In 2010, the Walker Art produced a large survey exhibition of Soth's work entitled From Here To There. Alec Soth's first monograph, Sleeping by the Mississippi, was published by Steidl in 2004 to critical acclaim. Since then he has published NIAGARA (2006), Fashion Magazine (2007) Dog Days, Bogotá (2007) The Last Days of W (2008), Broken Manual (2010). In 2008, he started his own publishing company, Little Brown Mushroom. Soth is represented by Sean Kelly in New York, Weinstein Gallery in Minneapolis, and is a member of Magnum Photos.
Key series participants from Watkins are Gallery Committee members Dan Brawner, professor and department chair of graphic design; Derek Coté (committee chair), assistant professor of fine art; Stefanie Gerber Darr, director of community education; Caroline Davis, director of external relations and assistant director of development; Brady Haston, assistant professor of fine art and studio facilities manager; Charles Kanganis, associate professor of film; Robin Paris, assistant professor and interim department chair of photography; and Tom Williams, assistant professor of art history.
The Watkins Visiting Artists Series is made possible through a grant from the Memorial Foundation and is sponsored in part by Marché Artisan Foods.
Watkins College of Art, Design & Film is supported in part by the Metro Nashville Arts Commission and the Tennessee Arts Commission

Washington, DC Sunday, April 29, 2012
The Senate passed legislation this week to preserve post office services as the agency faces financial problems. The 37th Postmaster General, Patrick R. Donahoe, joins us this week on Newsmakers.
He discusses the Senates bill, if and when it will move forward in the House and changes the agency plans to make in the future with regards to consolidation of post offices. He also talks about an array of options for restructuring the national mail system, which is losing $25 million per day.
Our guest reporters are Bernie Becker of The Hill and Michelle Jamrisko of Bloomberg News.
The Senate on Wednesday passed a bill to postpone for one year the Postal Service's own plan to save money by closing 3,700 post offices and consolidating hundreds of processing centers. The bipartisan Senate bill aims to save money through early retirements of some 100,000 employees, and it would restructure the USPS health care benefit system.
The House has not yet acted, and most Democrats there oppose a proposal by Rep. Darrell Issa for a commission that would close many post offices and processing centers.
The Postmaster General says he needs to cut $22 billion in operating costs by 2016. His plan calls for ending Saturday mail service, overnight mail, and shutting many post offices.

This piece would have been my first stock art from Nevermet Press, and I have to say I was highly impressed with the quality of the illustration. Yet another piece perfect for small publishers looking for good affordable artwork.

[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 05/10/2012 13:51:02
Much like the first volume, this anthology contains some great articles covering a variety of RPGs (though D&D tends to receive the lion's share). While not every article is going to appeal to every reader, the overall contents and sheer variety of topics makes this worth the price for the PDF.

"Stories in the Ether" is a compilation of short stories from Nevermet Press. While I'm not a huge fan of un-themed anthologies, I found a lot to enjoy in the mix of sci-fi, fantasy, horror and steampunk tales "Stories in the Ether" presented. The book does have some of the editing/proofreading problems you find in a lot of indy published books, but they don't take away from the enjoyment of the better stories in the bunch. It's a great introduction to a bunch of new/unknown authors with some fun stories to tell.

An excellent piece of artwork. The focus is in the right place with the guy on the foreground and has plenty of obvious steampunk theme to it without being massively intrusive. The colours are great and definitely gives the feeling of chinatown!

I've bought NMP stockart before and have been happy with them. So this one was an easy purchase. What I downloaded was a 400 x 208 pixel image. I contacted NMP and very quickly they replied back with a copy of the correct image and license. If I could give NMP a 5 stars for the image quality and another 5 stars for their customer service I would do so.
The image is excellent and the license is very publisher friendly. Recommended.

Open Game Table - Volumes 1 & 2 [BUNDLE]
William W.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 01/30/2011 13:20:09
Open Game Table Volume 1: A a collection of blog posts from various roleplaying blogs that belong to the RPG Bloggers Network. Compiled, they create an impressive tome on roleplaying advice and theory, with sections on Play Style, Game Play, Characters & Players, Monsters & NPCs, Encounters Settings & Location, Adventure Design, Campaign Setting Design, Classes Action & Equipment, RPG History & Commentary, and the RPG Tool Box.
A lot of of the material is geared for fantasy campaigns, and much of that is for D&D 4e specifically (an article on monks in D&D 4e, for example. takes up 16 of the 130 pages). But many ol the articles are useful for players and GMs of any RPG, such as Andrew Reyes' "Adventure Funnel" and MJ Harnish's "The Principles of Scene Framing" (two of my personal favorites).
This book contains some profanity, so parental discretion is advised.
Open Game Table Volume 2: The OGT returns for a second volume of blog posts from members of the RPG Bloggers Network. This volume contains sections on Gaming Roots & Reflections, New Players New Games, Campaign Success & Failure, Lies Tricks & More Damned Lies, Campaign Design Choices, Of Sandboxes & Railroads, Play Style, Character Style, On 4E D&D, On Old School RPGs, Make it a Challenge, The RPG Toolbox, and Laughing Hyenas (a humor section)
While I personally have nothing against the many editions of D&D (and have played most of them myself over the years), I'm glad to see this volume contain a larger portion of general gaming subjects than the previous volume did. There is a lot of useful material for players and GMs of any RPGs in this book, along with a good portion of D&D-specific material.
This volume contains interviews with Dave Arneson and Robin Laws, a discussion on maps with RPG cartographer Johnathan Roberts, and articles on introductory games for new roleplayers, roleplaying games as a teaching tool, "diluting" the story, learning from mistakes, character creation tips and tricks, uncommon character concepts, creating interesting villians, to name just a few.
I enjoyed the first volume, but I feel that this volume is a great improvement over it. The material is valuable, great fun to read, and accessible to everyone.
This book contains some profanity and adult themes, so parental discretion is advised.

Much like the first volume in the anthology, there are tons of articles on tons of topics. There are character options, DMing tips, tips on player styles, and things to spice up your game. Again, $5 isn't much money for ton of advice on gaming. I like the short articles that are quick reads and interesting.

Brother Ptolemy & The Hidden Kingdom (4E D&D Adventure)
Phil S.
Verified Purchaser
Date Added: 11/22/2010 11:47:19
My overall impression is vaguely positive. If you are an avid consumer of all things related to D&D, then by all means, grab the book, you'll love it. If, like me, you're far more accustomed to traditional modules and adventures, grab it, skip to chapter 4, and start reading there. Ignore about half of the art; the thing is actually over-populated with pictures which actually detract from how I was imagining the setting as I read through. If you are extremely nitpicky about writing style, I might suggest you go read some classic literature and stay away from D&D in general.

Brother Ptolemy & The Hidden Kingdom (4E D&D Adventure)
Mark M.
[Featured Reviewer]
Date Added: 11/21/2010 14:37:37
I recently was in contact with Dr. Jonathan Jacobs of Nevermet Press, and received a review copy of Nevermet's latest endeavor, Brother Ptolemy & The Hidden Kingdom.
The book is a 4e "Adventure Setting", which means that while it does have an adventure, that's only a small part of this book in comparison. It's a really cool concept, so let's see how it works!
Chapter one opens with a history of who Brother Ptolemy and the Hidden Kingdom are, a group of monks who have found the secret to undeath. The chapter gives information on the group's goals and organization. The group often recruits the homeless and forgotten, considering no one will miss them once they're gone. They also hide their undead faces behind masks as part of their garb.
The chapter includes stat blocks for Ptolemy and his monks. What impressed me most was that there are seven different stat blocks for the monks, not including Ptolemy. And they're different, unique monsters, of mid-heroic tier. It would be pretty easy to begin slipping this group into your campaign from the beginning, reaching a boiling point around level six in your campaign.
Chapter two introduces a new disease, the Red Harvest, a fairly brutal 9th Level disease which has the opportunity to permenantly change a character into a "plague stalker", driven mad with the desire for blood.
The disease even effects plants, turning all into a deep rust color. Soon the land looks bathed in blood, not the type of place you want to visit on vacation.
The plague stalker template itself can be truly terrifying, as entire villages will be overrun with the disease and turn into a zombie-like horde. Not only are the villagers themselves overtaken, but animals as well. There are some really terrifying ideas presented, which could end up becoming quite a plague (no pun intended) on your players.
Chapter three presents the City-State of Corwyn, a sprawling city on the banks of a river, which could really be placed in any fantasy world. The chapter talks about the Red Monks of the Hidden Kingdom rescuing the city from almost certain doom when the Red Harvest overtook the lands many years ago, putting the city in the monk's debt. The monks now walk freely in the streets, and the townspeople are blissfully unaware of the sinister secrets behind the brotherhood of monks.
Chapter four is the adventure proper, with the heroes finding themselves at odds with the Hidden Kingdom. It's designed for 5th level heroes, and deals with the resurgence of the Red Harvest. There are quite a few NPCs introduced throughout, and a lot of opportunity for roleplaying. There's a really large chunk of the section designed purely for information gathering and roleplaying, which I like a lot. Eventually, however, the Red Harvest comes calling, and the plagued walk the streets, giving the players a run for their money, until they must go to the Von Brandt manor to face the leaders of the Hidden Kingdom in their base of operations. The game doesn't end there, but in the eventual trial of the monks, which is pretty cool to read about. I've wanted to run a trial in a game for a long time now, and this shows me how to do it.
Chapter five has magical items, including my favorite, the Beggar's Coin, which takes the hunger out of a hungry man by simply pressing it into their hand, but only if you have less than 5gp on you.
Finally, Chapter six presents new feats and rituals for the members of the Hidden Kingdom to perform, which are good, solid new rules.
The Appendix in the back has some great adventuring hooks for getting your players involved in the intrigue behind it all as well.
In all, at 110 pages, this is a fantastic book for anyone looking for some awesome and creepy new adversaries in their 4e D&D game. Definitely check it out.

The three 15-year-old boys who beat a 13-year-old so badly on a
Pinellas County school bus that the younger teen suffered a broken arm have
been sentenced for their actions.
After pleading guilty to the charges, the boys were told by Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Raymond Gross they now face "indefinite probation." Conditions of that probation include community service, random urine screenings and electronic monitoring, according to Gulfport Patch.
The Tampa Tribune reports that Gross told the boys several times that they were fortunate to be tried in the juvenile justice system. Prosecutors considered charging the teens as adults, which would have had a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison.
After watching a video of the attack, Gross called it "shocking," "hideous," and said "all of us should be horrified."
Even so, the probation sentence was handed down.
One of the boy's grandmothers told CNN she thought her grandson should have been incarcerated for a few weeks at least and said while watching the video she wanted to jump in and protect the younger teen from her own grandson.
What do you think, Westchase? Was this fair punishment for first-time offenders or should the teens have faced a stiffer sentence? Tell us by commenting below!

MA Gaming Commission Chair Crosby Talks Casino Selection Process
Holyoke, Massachusetts Mayor Alex Morse's announcement that he would consider a casino development in the city adds another player to the competition for the siting of a casino in western Massachusetts. Only one casino proposal will be chosen for the region's single license as allowed by the state's 2011 gambling law. The law allows for up to three casinos in the state.
But one factor that may get lost as casino talk swirls through the region on a daily basis, is when a casino would actually be open for business.
"If we award the license, say, February of 2014, then it would one and a half to two years probably after that before the casino would be fully up and running."
That's Stephen Crosby, chair of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, the state-appointed board charged with overseeing the casino development process. Crosby says along with a $400,000 application fee to the state, all potential applicants must submit background information on their companies and administrators by January 15th.
"Anybody that has any significant impact on the management of a casino facility will need to be investigated, and will need to be clean as a whistle."
Then the proposal and a host community agreement must be approved by local voters through a referendum. Crosby says the referendum process will most likely begin next summer.
"If a referendum approves a host community agreement and a proposal, then it comes to us, and we will pick from all the proposals in each of the three regions. We could be making decisions as soon as a year from now."
The proposal, Crosby says, must include economic impacts and plans to mitigate problem gambling. If the commission approves a proposal, a licensed company would be required to pay the state another fee of at least $85 million. Crosby notes the commission is not required to approve any casino licenses.

Driving and Epilepsy
Every state regulates driver's license eligibility for those with certain medical conditions. The most common requirement for people with epilepsy is that they be seizure-free for a specific period of time and submit a physician's evaluation of their ability to drive safely. Another common requirement is the periodic submission of medical reports. In some states, this is for a specified period of time, while other states require routine reporting as long as the person remains licensed. To determine the regulations for your state, visit the state driving law database.

for the Native Ignition Sunglasses
Average Custy Rating:
(based on 14 reviews)
I love Native sunglasses, but these fit a little funky for me. The size fits my head well, but the nose pads do not sit snugly on my nose as most Native glasses do. The optics are good and the design ventilates well as all of their glasses do. Maybe I got a defective pair?
Last year we went through seven pairs of sunglasses in two weeks at the beach (yes...one every other day)....whether they were swept out to sea while playing in the surf, fell over the side of a boat while fishing, or snapped in half by the kids, we could not get a pair of glasses. They arrived today only to be mauled by the toddlers and survived. The Natives also do not fall of the face and don't make him look like a total tool. great product!
This is my fourth pair of the Ignitions. I use these on the river as a whitewater raft guide and I can't wear anything else. They fit amazingly on smaller framed heads. You can also get them in a variety of colors/lenses and they are all polarized. Get some!
so far, so awesome... still lovin native eyewear's nose bumpers - very comfy. style factor is high. ocean tested this weekend - polarization is perfect! these super cool shades also double as a very expensive headband that keeps my hair out of my face when i'm at work.
I like the way the glasses look appearance wise - which for my fickle face is half that battle. The fit is nice and snug so I don't have to worry about them taking flight on me during my active pursuits. However, once I took them out of the store and started wearing them in the 'field', I was surprised that the lens quality is not the greatest. I get refraction on the inside of the glasses - i.e. reflections off my own face - which generally I see enough of my mug each day and don't need further check ups. I think I recall that there was another type of polarized that Native makes and was wondering if the lens quality is higher with those.
You probably would have looked amazing with it too.
We do have availability on some similar items available right now though. Check out More Native Sunglasses

Land & Water Australia. 2007. Native Vegetation and Biodiversity . [Online] (Updated September 10th, 2009)
Available at: http://lwa.gov.au/node/330 [Accessed Sunday 27th of October 2013 02:01:13 AM ].
With the introduction of native vegetation and biodiversity targets both nationally and across many catchments, and increasing community concern and expectations about environmental management, there is now even greater awareness about the importance of natural resource management (NRM) within the wool industry.
Encouragingly more than 55 per cent of woolgrowers who have native vegetation on their farm have already implemented NRM practices [Land, Water & Wool Best Practice Survey, 2003].
The Native Vegetation and Biodiversity Sub-program of Land, Water & Wool explored ways of managing landscapes so as to maintain enterprise profitability while meeting natural resource management objectives. It achieved this by working closely with woolgrowers, drawing on the research already undertaken through the Native Vegetation R&D Program managed by Land & Water Australia and undertaking new research on the links between wool production and biodiversity.
The primary objective of the Native Vegetation and Biodiversity Sub-program was to develop, test and promote options for integrating wool production and the protection, management and restoration of native vegetation and its associated biodiversity.
Native Vegetation and Biodiversity had five regional projects in the high rainfall and sheep-cereal zones. Within these projects, more than 70 families with commercial woolgrowing enterprises were directly involved with research projects on their properties, while a further 2750 woolgrowers were indirectly involved.
In order to deliver the research results to a larger group of woolgrowers, projects worked closely with wool initiatives such as 8x5 in Tasmania and BestWool 2010 in Victoria.

ANGELO MOJICA has improved foodservice at UNCH by:
• BOOSTING skills and morale of staff through regular communication and educational programs such as Black Hat Chefs
• ENHANCING patient menus and service in a way that has led to a more than 70-percentage-point increase in patient satisfaction
• CREATING a self-branded retail program that is expected to generate $10 million in revenue this year
• DEVELOPING a patient room service program called Restaurant Delivery that makes use of UNCH's retail menus
Angelo Mojica, UNC HealthcareWhen reviewing Angelo Mojica's seven-year career at the University of North Carolina Hospitals, there are a few things you could single out as his most impressive accomplishment. You could consider his ability to turn around a patient foodservice program that once had Press-Ganey scores in the 11th percentile into one that now has realistic expectations of reaching the 90th percentile.
You could point out the 13 branded retail concepts he and his staff have created to serve the five hospitals in the UNCH system, which combined are expected to generate more than $10 million in revenue this year. You could even highlight his newest venture, which has been to make his retail foodservice the foundation for a new patient room service program called Restaurant Delivery.
But if you ask the director of food and nutrition services what he considers his biggest achievement, his answer speaks to something a bit more intangible.
"No. 1 is the team that we've built here," Mojica says, with little hesitation. "For the first time in my career, 20-some years of doing this, I feel like we have a team of people, not just management and employees. We've built some really good relationships with team members, and hourly workers no longer feel that we're the bad guys."
Mojica's belief is borne out by some hard data. He says that in the most recent employee opinion surveys, his department's scores have ranked higher than any other support services department. But Mojica prefers to measure the strength of his team by actions, rather than numbers.
Duty calls: For example, on the day that he was to be interviewed for this profile, Mojica's plans for a 'typical' day of meetings, phone calls and operation tours were waylaid by a balky dishwasher.
"I walked into the kitchen to 20 carts full of dishes," he explains. "There was no way we were going to make it through breakfast. So I get my chef coat on, my executive chef gets his coat on, my director of staff development gets ready and we all start washing dishes. All of a sudden three hourly employees walked up and said, 'Can we help?' That's the attitude our employees have, that we can all work together.
"When we launched Restaurant Delivery [UNCH's room service program], it was the same thing. My managers were working 80 hours a week getting ready for this," he added. "Three days into the program I sat them down and said, 'You guys are really exhausted. We've done three 16-hour days in a row. Let's figure out how we can get you some half days. To a person, they said, 'No, we can't do that. We're not ready yet. We need this to be better before we can [take time off.]'"
Shawn Dolan, UNCH's executive chef, says Mojica's own attitude is a spark for his employees.
"Angelo has just one speed, and he is always turned on," says Dolan. "He is a great driver for our department, always talking us up to our administrators. He encourages us to grow as a team and to stretch our abilities."
Mojica says employee attitude is the most critical component of UNCH's success because without it the program can't follow Mojica's mantra, which is "Serve great food. Give great customer service."
Mojica says he has won over most of his hourly employees by doing two simple things: communicating with them on a regular basis and instructing rather than ordering.
"I use the example of 'Sesame Street,'" says Mojica. "On 'Sesame Street,' you have the people and the puppets, but the people don't tell the puppets what to do. They just guide them. That's how our managers should be. When you have a problem, we help you fix it. I can help you get over a hurdle or find the right person to help you achieve that."
Mojica's culinary staff has improved through UNCH's Black Hat Chef program, which helps cooks improve their culinary skills, as well as their marketability and their chances of growing within the organization. (For more on Black Hat Chefs, click here)
All about the retail: Winning over his employees has allowed the department to improve overall performance on a program built around a retail component. Because the five hospital, 800-bed system is part of the university system, foodservice prior to Mojica's arrival was at the mercy of university administrators.
"We have a cancer hospital, a neurosciences hospital, a women's hospital, a children's hospital and the main hospital," he explains. "All are connected by a common concourse. We used to have just a 400-seat cafeteria in a university building—really big, really ugly. When the children's hospital opened the department put in another café, and then a Wendy's and then a coffee concept. Then they put another concept in the cancer hospital. So they had the big cafeteria and four smaller spaces."
But shortly before Mojica arrived, the university—which was growing—decided it needed the space and reclaimed the building, including the cafeteria. So the new foodservice director inherited four retail spaces, all of which were contracted out.
Mojica responded by slowly taking over the spaces and remaking them in the department's own image of retail. The four venues now house 13 self-branded concepts that offer everything from comfort foods to sushi. Mojica says the retail outlets generate $3,500 a day in revenue and have been so well received that some of the concepts have been replicated at UNCH's sister system, Rex Healthcare.
"One of the neatest things that happened when we took our brands and plugged them in at Rex was, the health inspector said, 'Can you tell me the parent company of Mezza Luna?', which is our salad concept," Mojica recalls. "We said, 'we are the parent company,' and he said, 'I know you operate it, but I need to know whose concept this is.' He couldn't believe that we had created it."
Delivering to patients and staff: If Mojica has any complaints about his retail program, it is that the spaces are basically maxed out in terms of the number of customers that the spaces can accommodate. To deal with this issue, the department has placed on the drawing board plans for a delivery service program for staff.
"We've had people tell us things like, 'we really love your shrimp and grits,'" Angelo relates, "'but it takes too much time to go down there to get it. But we'd be willing to pay $2 to have food delivered to us.' So we're going to see if that is really true."
But Mojica's team hasn't ignored patient foodservice while boosting retail, and Press Ganey scores are a testament to that.
"We're probably going to end this year in the high '80s," says Mojica. "Slowly, steadily, we've done different things to make the patient food better and better, and I feel sure that by the beginning of next year we'll be solidly in the 90th percentile and shooting for the 99th."
Part of that belief stems from the confidence he has that UNCH's version of room service, called Restaurant Delivery, will be a hit. (For more on Restaurant Delivery, click here)
Mojica says that once all the components of Restaurant Delivery are in place, two other goals will move to the top of his list. One is to take UNCH's retail concepts and "essentially franchise [them] to other AHF hospitals or other hospitals, period."
"We would also like to take the Black Hat Chef program a step further and make an associate's degree program right here in our kitchen," says Mojica. "When we created Black Hat Chefs we thought some people were going to take their skills and leave, but they're not. They're staying, and they're growing within the organization."

Then of course we had all the Jubilee partnerships: Monopoly, Steinway, Jeep and or course Florida's Natural (which still has yet to make its' debut in Dallas). Well, just because Lilly's 50th will draw to an end in a few short months does not mean the major partnerships have to fall by the wayside. As you many of you know Lilly has partnered with Lesportsac to kick off the 'Lilly Loves Green' campaign!
Though the actual campaign will likely launch in November the bags will not be available until February, March and April. Not only are the bags green in that they are reusable (I am for sure picking up the below bag for grocery trips), but they also feature endangered species (you know how I love the exotic animal prints)!
Just when you think you have enough Lilly comes out with something new! It is going to be hard to resist going green with a little bit of pink!!

"I saw red."
The phrase is usually associated with anger, but the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) wants American women to associate the color red with something far more sinister than anger; heart disease.
Heart disease is the number one killer of women in America; more women lose their lives to heart disease than breast cancer, stroke, lung disease and diabetes.
There remains a persistent myth however, that women are less at risk of heart disease than men.
February is American Heart Month, and the NHLBI is in its tenth year of sponsoring The Heart Truth, a campaign to alert women to the risk factors of heart disease and how to prevent the disease.
For more on this story, see thte Feb. 9 issue of Navarre Press or subscribe online.
