Former U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings, former Haiti Prime Minister Michèle Pierre-Louis, and former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer are among the six resident fellows who will be joining the Institute of Politics this fall, the IOP announced today.
The roster—which showcases a diverse set of backgrounds ranging from journalism to foreign politics—also includes Israel's former Minister of Interior Ophir Pines-Paz, Boston Globe reporter Susan Milligan, and former Miami, Florida chief of police John Timoney.
"Inspiring interactions with top public sector leaders is a key reason student engagement in the field continues to grow," outgoing IOP Director Bill Purcell is quoted in the press release. "This Fellows class is an ideal group of leaders who can help turn interest in public service into a career and commitment to making a difference."
Purcell said that in recent years, students have expressed "strong interest" in opportunities abroad—making this particular group of IOP fall fellows "especially strong and timely."
Two career politicians and a political reporter will bring extensive international experience to the Fellows program. Pierre-Louis, who served as the Prime Minister of Haiti from 2008 to 2009, was the second female to hold the post in the country's history. Pines-Paz similarly brings international experience, armed with a résumé that includes positions as the Minister of the Interior and Minister of Science, Culture, and Sport in Israel.
Milligan, a national political reporter for The Globe, said she views the IOP fellowship as an opportunity to provide students a perspective different from that of a politician.
"I've reported overseas and have a real sense of how foreign countries operate," Milligan said. "I'm so excited for this opportunity."
Archer, former president of the American Bar Association, will bring a more local perspective on politics, along with Timoney, a police officer with 40 years of experience. Timoney said he hopes to inform students about the political aspects of police work by describing the "nuances and angles where police can be very good or sometimes very bad."
Purcell said that Spellings, the former Secretary of Education, will not only bring "a life of public service" to Harvard, but her knowledge of education—"one of the most important and timely issues facing our nation."

HUA Rescues 25 Pugs from a Deplorable Puppy MillAugust 1st, 2010Uncategorized 22 Comments
On July 20th, 2010, HUA rescued 25 pugs from a deplorable puppy mill in western Nebraska. We are happy to say that this mill is now shut down…CLOSED FOR GOOD! HUA rescuers traveled across the state to the Wyoming border to bring the dogs to safety. The rescue, coordinated by Jane Denning, of Torrington, Wyoming, took place early in the morning. As you can see from our YouTube video the conditions were frightful. The dogs were loaded into the HUA van as quickly as possible with front and rear air conditioning blasting away. They were so grateful to be able to breath well for a change, with cool air and away from the overwhelming stench of their filthy, dilapidated little shack. As relief washed over them they slept the whole 9 hours back to HUA. This was one of the most difficult rescues HUA has been involved in. These dogs are so frightened of humans that it is completely heartbreaking. Because of the large number of dogs all needing such intense emotional rehabilitation our friends from several rescues in Nebraska, Minnesota and Canada have stepped up to help us and take many of these sweet pugs into their foster based rescues. We had many emergency medical expenses during the week and will have ongoing expenses with the dogs staying at HUA. We would deeply appreciate donations for their care. Please put "for the pugs" in the comment section of the donation form. Many thanks to all who came together to make this a well planned, well executed rescue. This is the start of a wonderful new life for 25 dogs who came from one of the most horrific man made tragedies we have seen yet.

DEAD NEGRO DRAW. Dead Negro Draw, formerly known as Dead Nigger Creek, rises in southwestern Garza County just east of the Lynn county line (at 33°03' N, 101°33' W) and runs north for three miles to its mouth on the South Fork of the Double Mountain Fork of the Brazos River, twelve miles southwest of Post (at 33°05' N, 101°33' W). It traverses an area with moderately steep slopes and locally high relief, surfaced by highly erodible shallow to moderately deep silt loams that support mesquite and grasses.

Where I stayed
We made up some sandwiches and then got on the road toward Yellowstone. Not a lot to see in the rest of SD. We worked our way across Wyoming toward Cody, where we planned to stay the night. We crossed through a small Mt Range called the Bighorns.
Cody is a town that is around 50 miles from the East entrance into Yellowstone. They have a Walmart here that we pulled into for the night. As far as RVers go, it was the busiest we've seen on the trip. People had big 5th wheels all leveled with awnings out. Chairs pulled out. Generators were running. We even saw some folks pitching a tent on the lawn! Pretty cool seen and everyone was friendly. People were cruising around with cocktails and visiting with one another like we were at a convention or something. I got out the new longboard and cruised the parking lot and met a few of the visitors. Chula even made a friend. I met one older guy that had been on the road since April and was working his way around to the Sturgis Rally. He built custom bikes and had 3 of them he was rolling with.
We rented a couple of movies at the Redbox (the "Redbox free code" Droid app seems to work) and we weren't to bed until after 1am. It's definitely starting to cool down now, or at least less humid.

Eating creepy crawlies and grubs might sound like something straight out of Fear Factor for some, but for people in the following countries, bugs are as common as fast food.
Abundant in southern New South Wales during summer, witchetty grubs — the small, white larvae of ghost moths — have been an essential part of the Aboriginal diet for centuries. The grubs are dug from the gum tree roots and eaten live or barbecued. They are rich in protein and would make a nutritious source if you're lost in the bush. Supermarkets even have them in soup tins.
Thailand, Laos and Cambodia
Walk the markets of these countries and you will be greeted by street vendors selling an amazing variety of fried insects as snacks.
These orders of insects are commonly found: odonata (damselflies and dragonflies), orthoptera (crickets, grasshoppers, katydids), mantodea (mantids), isoptera (termites), hemiptera (water bugs, cicadas, backswimmers), lepidoptera (silkworm moths are popular), coleoptera (weevils, wood-boring beetles, diving beetles) and hymenoptera (bees, ants, wasps). Some restaurants serve insects as part of their regular menu as well.
Chinese people are known to eat "anything that moves" so finding locals delighting in insect snacks and delicacies shouldn't come as a surprise. Just head to a local street market such as the one in Tianjin, Hangzhou, Canton or the Wangfujing Night Market in Beijing for a weird and wonderful array. Silkworm cocoons, cicada larvae, fried locusts, crickets and grasshoppers and eight-legged critters such as scorpions, tarantulas and spiders are a common sight.
South Korea
Beondegi or silkworm pupae is a popular snack for South Koreans. They can be bought on the street, are served in bars and restaurants as appetisers, and are even canned. Beondegi can be eaten boiled, steamed, stewed or stir-fried.
The Japanese have been eating insects for centuries, especially aquatic insects which were an important source of protein. Restaurants in Tokyo and many parts of Japan still offer various insect-based dishes such as hachinoko (boiled bee larvae), Inago no Tsukudani (stewed grasshoppers or locusts in sweet soy sauce), zazamushi (aquatic insect larvae), semi (fried cicadas) and sangi (silkworm pupae; known as beondegi in Korea).
Hormigas culonas, literally "big-butt ants" in Spanish, is a prized delicacy in Columbia. These leaf-cutter ants are aptly named because of their large lower abdomen. Only the young queens and drones are harvested in the Santander region in spring after the rainy season when they surface to establish their own ant colonies. The ants are roasted and eaten as snacks, a favourite for moviegoers and as bar snacks. Termites and palm grubs are popular edible insects as well.
The agave worm, also known as the maguey worm, is the worm you find in tequila bottles. They are also eaten roasted, fried, cooked inside a tortilla or as part of a recipe for a meal. Chapulines or fried grasshoppers are a common snack that can be found commercially canned and sold in supermarkets and local grocery stores. Ants, rich in thiamine and riboflavin, are consumed both in egg form and as adults.
Ant eggs, which are common in Mexican markets, are often cooked in butter and served in tacos. Ant larvae are canned and exported as gourmet food.
In Africa, many tribes eat insects like termites, grasshoppers, caterpillars, palm weevil larvae, beetles, ants and locusts. The wings of the termites are removed before roasting or being fried.
Guts of crickets and grasshoppers are removed before frying. Locusts are typically boiled and salted prior to eating. Another widely eaten insect is the westwood larvae, a caterpillar known as kanni. They are boiled and dried in the sun before being eaten or used as an ingredient in vegetable soup.
Another larvae, the palm weevil larva, is a large insect that is fleshy and grub-like with a high fat content. They are collected from the trunks of palm trees and fried. An even larger insect, the compost beetle larvae, can be found in garbage, manure piles or swampy areas. The lower abdomen containing the guts is removed before washing and frying. Some refuse to eat them because they are taken from "dirty" places.

UH geologist recommends stricter shoreline building lawsUPDATED 8:21 PM HST Dec 30, 2013
University of Hawaii geologist, Chip Fletcher, says shoreline homes are built too close to the water and recommends stricter setback laws similar to those enacted on Kauai.Video Transcript
there's not much those homeowners can do... Other than take measures to SLOW DOWN the erosion. Nature's in charge here. KITV4's Justin Fujioka continues our team coverage. Justin? This expert says it's time to re-examine how CLOSE you can build to the shoreline.. Paula, Oahu's building setback law is 40 feet for existing structures and 60 for new ones. A University of Hawaii coastal geologist says that's not enough. Recent swells have washed away much of the beach near Rocky Point on Oahu's North Shore. At high tide, big surf now crashes just steps away from several homes. U-H geologist Chip Fletcher says the homes are just TOO CLOSE to the water. He says Oahu's setback law should be more like Kauai's, the strictest in the state. It takes the rate of annual erosion, and multiplies that by the expected life of a wood-frame home... 70 years. Charles "Chip" Fletcher: "PLUS THEY ADDED A BUFFER OF 40 FEET TO THAT TO ACCOUNT FOR STORM DAMAGE AND AN ESTIMATE OF SEA-LEVEL RISE." Fletcher says another long- term solution is to pay property owners to not develop the land. Charles "Chip" Fletcher: "AND THEN EROSION WOULD SIMPLY RELEASE THE SAND THAT IS UNDER THAT LAND. THAT SAND WOULD THEN FUEL THE BEACH AND YOU WOULD NOT EXPERIENCE BEACH LOSS." Buying coastal land comes at a hefty price though. Charles "Chip" Fletcher: "BUT WE HAVE THE LEGACY LANDS COMMISSION AT THE STATE AND WE HAVE SIMILAR COMMISSIONS WITHIN EACH COUNTY THAT ACQUIRE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS EACH YEAR IN ORDER TO BUY LAND TO PREVENT IT FROM BEING DEVELOPED." Something Fletcher says is the only thing we can do to prevent more scenes like this. Charles "Chip" Fletcher: "WE'VE OVER A CENTURY OF LONG-TERM SEA-LEVEL RISE IN HAWAII. BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE, WE KNOW THAT SEA-LEVEL RISE IS GOING TO CONTINUE AND IT'S GOING TO ACCELERATE. WE NEED TO PUT OURSELVES ON A MORE PROACTIVE FOOTING, RATHER THAN A REACTIVE BASIS SUCH AS WE ARE RIGHT NOW." Maui County has setback law like Kauai, but not quite as strict. Still, Fletcher says it protects homes much better than Oahu's law.

June 7, 2014
By Edmund F. Haislmaier
Obamacare alters and disrupts health insurance markets in numerous ways. Exactly how individuals and employers will respond to all these changes remains highly uncertain.
This uncertainty makes it difficult for insurers to predict claims costs, much less set premiums. Naturally, insurers wish to make a reasonable profit and remain competitive in the marketplace. But finding that "sweet spot" in pricing premiums will remain elusive until they have data from several years under the new system.
The congressional Democrats who designed and enacted Obamacare knew this would happen. That's why they included in the law three provisions that make it less risky for insurers to participate in the Obamacare insurance market.
The first is a three-year "transitional reinsurance" program that imposes $20 billion in taxes on existing employer plans and health insurance policies and transfers those funds to the Obamacare exchanges plans. While it is a fixed amount for a limited time, it is still a tax on existing policies to subsidize those insurers offering exchange coverage.
Under the second provision - a "risk adjustment" program - insurers will transfer money among themselves to adjust for the possibility that some get more or less than their proportionate share of high-risk, high-cost enrollees. While this program is permanent, it doesn't increase total subsidies to insurers; it merely reallocates money already in the system.
The third provision - a "risk corridor" program - is the most problematic. This program essentially establishes a range or "corridor" for profits or losses by insurers selling exchange coverage.
If an insurer has higher-than-expected profits, the government will "claw back" some of the money. Conversely, if an insurer has higher than expected losses, the government will pay the insurer additional subsidies to offset those losses.
Like the reinsurance program, the risk corridor program, is limited to the first three years. But the risk corridor program's funding is not balanced - and that's a problem.
If many, or even all, of the insurers have excess profits, then the government would collect a big windfall. But if many - even all - of the insurers suffer large losses, then the government is on the hook for huge subsidy payments.
Given the uncertainty insurers face in pricing the new coverage, combined with pressure from the Obama administration to keep premiums low, the more likely scenario is that there will be more big losses than big profits, resulting in a government bailout through the risk corridor program.
Earlier this year, in response to congressional concerns that the risk corridor program could turn into an insurer bailout, the Obama administration said it would run the program on a "budget neutral" basis - meaning that it wouldn't pay out more than it took in. However, the administration has now reversed that position. It is promising to pay insurers whatever it takes to cover any big losses they incur and, if necessary, to fund the program by diverting money from other accounts.
For several years the administration has been raiding other programs - such as the prevention and public health fund sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa - to fund Obamacare. Congress thought it stopped that with provisions in January's omnibus appropriations bill limiting the administration's ability to transfer funds among programs. These latest efforts by the administration should be stopped.
The best response would be to simply repeal the risk corridor program. As public policy, the program is redundant. Its two sister programs - reinsurance and risk adjustment - are more than sufficient to adjust for any uncertainty faced by insurers.
The White House has re-embraced the program, not because it's sound policy, but because it offers a convenient way to hide from the public the adverse effects and true costs of Obamacare. Institutionally, it represents another attempt by the Obama administration to circumvent Congress' authority.

Brown Visits Downtown Kent; Announces Extension Of Critical Tax Credit That Helped Finance Kent State Project
Brown Joins Business and Community Officials in Visit to PARTA Central Gateway Transit Facility, the New Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center, and Acorn Alley I & II Projects
Brown Announces Extension of Critical New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) which Helped Fund Construction of the Kent State University Conference Center & Hotel Passed as Part of the Fiscal Cliff Deal
KENT, OH – U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) joined community officials to tour the new projects and development in downtown Kent today. Following a briefing at AMETEK, Brown joined Kent Mayor Jerry Fiala and business and community leaders in a visit to the Portage Area Regional Transit Authority (PARTA) Central Gateway Transit facility, the Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center, and Acorn Alley I & II projects.
"Kent exemplifies the progress our state can make when we work together," Brown said. "Through private investment, federal resources, and local leadership, we're seeing record growth and development that will help create jobs and support existing businesses—and maintain Kent's reputation as a great place in which to grow up, go to school, and raise a family."
Brown also announced the extension of a critical tax credit that provided $8 million in funding to create jobs and construct the new Kent State University Hotel & Conference Center. The agreement reached to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff" also included an extension of the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) through 2013. This critical credit helps encourage investment and economic development in the communities that need it the most.
Brown has been a longtime advocate for Kent. He helped secure $20 million for construction of the Central Gateway Transit facility, a multi-modal building fitted with solar panels to include commercial space, a parking garage, bus bays, and bicycle storage that improves transit accessibility in Kent and links the area to Cleveland and Akron.

Labrador Morning | Dec 6, 2012 | 5:51
Traffic enforcement in Nain
Nain has a suprising amount of traffic for a town of 1,200 people. But some of the traffic laws enforced in bigger towns simply do not apply there. That's going to change in the New Year. The Nain community government is looking to put some new traffic by-laws into effect. Labrador Morning's John Gaudi speaks with Nain's community constable Morall Blake.

Nonprofit venture capital may be an oxymoron, but a local group thinks nonprofit venture development, on the other hand, might be the missing piece in the region's efforts to support small business creation.

Deelish, but I think you could use less oil.. I used less than half what it called for, and next time I'll use even less. Also, I used a bit more vinegar than called for, and I think next time I'll use even more.flag if inappropriate
Hard to go wrong with roasted veges. I made this for Thanksgiving using brussel sprouts, wedges of purple onion, baby carrots, yellow patty pans, red pepper and fennel. Very colorful and delish.flag if inappropriate
Big success! Made it for Thanksgiving side dish. Didn't make any changes to original, except that I used small, yellow little squashes which require slightly more time to cook. Everyone loved it!flag if inappropriate
Great vegetable recipe and would be perfect for serving to company. Once the veggies are in the dressing or on the baking sheet there's no work until you put them in a serving dish. This is really a recipe for 8+ as a side dish.flag if inappropriate
I got to kisses from the wife on this one. I've also experimented with this dish by adding chopped up shrimp and put it under the broiler at 400 for 6 minutes. Got the same effect in less time then roasting. But be careful it will burn if you don't keep a close eye on it.flag if inappropriate
Wow.... what a flavorful dish! To decrease the fat content and increase flavor, I used 1/4 cup olive oil and 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar. I also doubled the amount of fresh basil and used a grainy, "strong" dijon mustard. The texture is perfect, and the flavor/aroma/color palette is exceptional!flag if inappropriate
I thought this was OK. I could have doubled the amount of fresh thyme and basil to add more flavor.flag if inappropriate
This was very easy to make and tasted fabulous. We will definitely have it often. Great with grilled meat.flag if inappropriate
I roasted the vegetables for 35 minutes and they came out blackened and unappealing. Taste was great bur I would roast "till slightly browned around the edges", much less than 35 min.flag if inappropriate
Delicious! I made the dressing a day ahead and let the flavors blend overnight. A very easy dish to make (except for all the chopping) and the aroma is mouthwatering. I also cooked it on a grillpan over charcoal and got raves. Great summer dish.flag if inappropriate

"THE DIESEL GENERATOR is normally a very reliable piece of equipment which will give you many years of service – if it is operated and maintained with an attitude of religious devotion. You have to change the air filter regularly. You have to be careful about the quality of the fuel that you use. You have to change your fuel filters regularly. Every 100 hours you have to basically disassemble your fuel injection pump. If you do this you will be rewarded with long financial life and reliable duty. Now of course this doesn't happen, and what you have is equipment which is sub-optimal, which consumes a lot of power and which will be a heap of rusting scrap very soon at a huge cost to the operator."
So if Anil Raj, Board Member of telecom equipment maker VNL, is right, and you're looking for a base station to connect your village to a mobile network, powering it with diesel may be economically unfeasible. But for rural dwellers, in areas where supply from the grid is unreliable at best, what alternative is there?

Get your TV series fix at the library—June 3, 2011
It seems like recently a lot of books and series have been turned into TV shows or miniseries. If you are looking for a good book or the TV adaptations come in to Hastings Public Library and see what we have to offer.
One book series that has been really popular recently is the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. These books follow telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse as she deals with supernatural creatures such as vampires and werewolves in her small town of Bon Temps Louisiana. HBO has made these books in the TV show True Blood. Come in a check out any of the books in the series, the newest being Dead Reckoning, or seasons 1 thru 3 of the hit TV series.
Another great TV series that is great for the whole family is the Heartland TV show based on the book series of the same name by Lauren Brooke. Heartland follows teenage horse whisper Amy Fleming who must help take care of the family ranch after the death of her mother. Along the way she meets troubled Ty Borden who comes to Heartland Ranch as a farm hand as part of his parole and works with horses to help keep the Ranch from going under.
For fans of war books, try The Pacific by Hugh Ambrose and Band of Brothers by Stephen E. Ambrose. Both of these non-fiction books have been made into miniseries by HBO and both are available at HPL.
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett has also recently been made into a miniseries. This book takes place in the town of Kingsbridge during the middle of the twelfth century, where the lives of those who are working to build the most amazing Gothic cathedral in the world become entwined through their ambitions, loves, and tribulations.
For teens try The Vampire Diaries, the books are written by L.J. Smith, and tell the tale of two vampire brothers who compete for high stakes, the love of Elena Gilbert, a beautiful high school senior who is searching for excitement. Also available is the first season of the television series.
Finally for fans of the TV series Bones try some of the books on which it is based, the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs. The library also has the first few seasons of the show Bones.
So if you find yourself looking for something to read or watch this summer come to the library this summer and check out a great book or TV series.

PHOTOS: Paul McCartney shines in a musical marathon
The Energizer Bunny of Rock & Roll, Sir Paul McCartney, performed at Land Shark Stadium in Miami last Saturday — appropriately, Easter Eve, just the right night for a rabbit.
Backed by a superb four-piece band, he played song after song after song until 11:15 p.m. No breaks or intermissions. I didn't even see him take a sip of water. Seriously.
For 2 hours, 45 minutes, on the most beautiful of spring nights, Sir Paul took us on a ride for 36 songs spanning his legendary career. And with such emotional variety: the smile-inducing Beatles gem "All My Loving," the get-on-your-feet Wings rocker "Jet," the contemplative "Let It Be." The stadium shook from the dancing during "Back in the USSR." And "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da" was performed for the first time in the U.S. during this week of four shows (he was in Phoenix and Hollywood before Miami).
When McCartney took off his coat, he teased it was the only wardrobe change of the evening. He did, however, continuously switch instruments; bass, guitar, piano, ukulele, mandolin.
McCartney retreated to the piano early on for a riveting, eye-dampening version of "My Love," before which he said "For all the lovers, this one's for you." He wrote the song for his longtime wife and bandmate, Linda, who died in 1998.
The anthemic "Live and Let Die" toward the end of the set was a show in itself. As Paul pounded his piano keys, fireworks shot high in the air off the back of the stage structure, in sync with the song. It was the type of big moment that required a stadium setting.
Before "Here Today," McCartney explained how he wrote the song for John Lennon in the form of a conversation he wishes he had with him. He encouraged the crowd not to leave things unsaid, adding "You never know what'll happen in life, so if you want to say something, just say it!"
After ending the set with a lighted crowd sing-along for "Hey Jude," Paul returned to the stage for his first batch of encores waving a big Yukon Jack flag while drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr. waved a big state of Florida flag. And into "Daytripper" they went.
As the first few notes of each song were played, a young boy nearby with his parents, who couldn't have been older than 10, screamed "Yeah!" and began singing along word-for-word. A decent number of young people peppered the predominately baby-boomer crowd.
His brief insightful, and often funny, chats between songs seemed effortless and helped make the stadium feel small. No matter where you sat or what you paid, you were in the right spot on this special night. The show fittingly ended with "The End" and its profound lyrics "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."
Huge blasts of confetti showered the crowd as Sir Paul yelled, "See you next time!" May he keep going and going and going.
Chris Bradshaw is a Bonita Springs-based concert photographer who loves to shoot the show. He's covered local bands in tiny smoke-filled bars, U2 in a sold out stadium and everything in between.

State police are investigating an early-morning crash that killed an Antwerp man, who died after his vehicle struck two horses that were in the road on County Route 20 in the town of Philadelphia on Monday.
Jacob T. Tyler, 35, was on his way to work about 4:30 a.m. when his Volkswagen Jetta hit the two horses, which had gotten loose from a nearby farm, state troopers said.
Mr. Tyler suffered severe head injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two horses also died.
The car ended up in a snowbank on the west shoulder of the road, which was closed for several hours, troopers said.

Seminar Abstract
Francis Chan
Thursday, April 10, 2008
Climatic causes and ecosystem consequences of hypoxia on the Oregon continental shelf
Upwelling ecosystems are marked by enhanced rates of primary productivity and transport of oxygen-depleted water masses to shallow seas. Together, these factors increase the potential for the formation of extensive coastal hypoxic zones along eastern boundary current systems. The appearance and scope of hypoxia nevertheless vary greatly through time and across systems. In recent years, the Oregon continental shelf has experienced the emergence of severe shallow water hypoxia. Resolving the factors that drive hypoxia formation and its ecosystem impacts has emerged as key research and management concerns. In this presentation, I will examine the roles of climate variability and ecosystem scale forcings in driving temporal and spatial variation in hypoxia risk and severity. I will also examine the impacts of hypoxia on biogeochemical cycles and shallow water fish and invertebrate community structure.
Speaker bio:
Francis Chan is an assistant research professor in the Department of Zoology at Oregon State University. He holds a Ph.D in ecology from Cornell University. His research examines the causes and consequences of biogeochemical patterns in marine ecosystems.

COSWA 2008 Meeting Events
The Squeaky Wheel Squeaks Again:
Reflections on the Status of Women in Anthropology
Organized by: Keri Brondo and Catherine Kingfisher (COSWA)
Chaired by: Carla Guerrón Montero (COSWA)
The session recognized the work of COSWA Squeaky Wheel recipients for their dedication and commitment to achieving greater parity for women in anthropology. The Squeaky Wheel award recognizes individuals who have demonstrated the courage to bring to light and investigate practices in anthropology that are potentially discriminatory to women, or have acted to improve the status of women in anthropology through activities that raise awareness of women's contribution to anthropology or identify barriers to full participation by women in anthropology. The Squeaky Wheel Award was first awarded to John Yellen in 1997. Since then, eleven anthropologists have been honored with this award.
The session brought together four awardees from 1998 to 2007 to take stock on the status of women in anthropology. These awardees were Louise Lamphere (1998), Naomi Quinn (2001), Adrienne Zihlman (2004), and Joan Gero (2007). Each recipient considered the following main points in their presentations: 1) the relevant issues at the time they received the award; 2) what has changed and/or stayed the same since that time; and, 3) challenges that remain for achieving gender parity within anthropology. A question and answer period followed the presentations.
In addition to the panel, Margaret Conkey was awarded the 2008 Squeaky Wheel recipient at the session. Dr. Conkey is Professor of Anthropology at the University of California-Berkeley, where she has taught since 1986. Dr. Conkey was a member and chairperson of COSWA in 1975.
Oftentimes women and men are faced with choosing between professional development opportunities and familial responsibilities, choices which may impact their advancement within their chosen profession, and/or may alter their overall career trajectory. This panel brings together a myriad of perspectives on balancing work and family responsibilities within the field of anthropology, and includes discussion of both academic and practicing work environments. The women and men who will speak in this skill-building session will use their personal experiences to offer insight into the range of possibilities available to anthropologists seeking a balance between their professional and personal well-being. COSWA welcomes its audience to invite their family members and partners to attend this session.
Points of discussion include:

COSWA Invited Session
2007 AAA Meeting
Washington, DC
Date: Fri, 11/30/2007
Time: 1:45 PM - 5:30 PM
Room: Washington Room 1
COSWA Special Event
In the "Family Gap:" Children, Motherhood, and Work
Sponsored by AAA Committee on the Status of Women in Anthropology
Women caring for children face heightened career challenges: lower wages, "glass ceilings," insufficient maternity leaves and breastfeeding support. From finding quality childcare-especially when a child is ill-to having time for oneself, multiple and competing demands confront women who have children and work outside the home. This special session is designed to provide a relaxed forum for such women to come together, connect with one another, and share their stories. This session will be loosely organized around audience-generated discussions covering common concerns, coping strategies, and suggestions for institutionalizing family friendlier policies within the AAA and beyond. Barbara Rose Johnston (Center for Political Ecology) and Rosemary Joyce (UC-Berkeley) will facilitate discussion. COSWA warmly invites children to this family-friendly session; as mother-anthropologists create support networks among themselves, their children can make new friends, too.
Barbara Rose Johnston (Senior Research Fellow, Center for Political Ecology) does action-research on human rights and the environment. She advised the World Commission on Dams on reparations and the right to remedy, serves as an advisor and expert witness in Marshall Islands Nuclear Claims Tribunal deliberations on the consequential damages of nuclear weapons testing, and serves a UNESCO-IHP advisor on water and cultural diversity. In 2002, the AAA presented her the Solon T. Kimball Award for work in human rights and environmental justice and this year she receives the Lourdes Arizpe Award for work on reparations and nuclear militarism.
Rosemary A. Joyce (Professor of Anthropology at the University of California, Berkeley) has engaged in archaeological fieldwork in Honduras since 1977. She received the PhD from the University of Illinois-Urbana in 1985. At Harvard University from 1985 to 1994, she served as Assistant Director and Curator at the Peabody Museum and Assistant and Associate Professor of Anthropology. She moved to Berkeley in 1994 Associate Professor of Anthropology and was Director of the Phoebe Apperson Hearst Museum of Anthropology from 1994 to 1999. Her recent books include Gender and Power in Prehispanic Mesoamerica, The Languages of Archaeology, Embodied Lives, and the forthcoming Ancient Bodies, Ancient Lives.

Critical Intersections: Women Practicing Anthropology Beyond the Ivory Tower
More than fifty percent of recent anthropology PhDs are now employed outside of academia, yet their career trajectories are not tracked in the same way that those of academics are tracked by the AAA Guide to Departments and the AAA survey on university careers. Given the feminization of anthropology in general, women may constitute the majority of practicing anthropologists. To explore the careers and lives of women in the world of practice, a recent NAPA Bulletin presented the autoethnographies of eleven women practitioners. This panel builds on the Bulletin by inviting speakers to share their experiences as female practitioners, engaging specifically with this year's theme "Critical Intersections and Dangerous Issues." Panelists will explore, from a gendered standpoint, the challenges they face not only as women but as anthropologists in a variety of work contexts.
More information on the NAPA Bulletin, Making History at the Frontier: Women Creating Careers as Practicing Anthropologists can be found at: http://www.practicinganthropology.org/ or http://www.practicinganthropology.org/napabulletin/?bulletinid=26. The volume presents the stories of 11 women anthropologists whose career paths have successfully navigated the terrain of practice.

On Becoming a Female Applied Anthropologist
Marlene Berg, Institute for Community Research
I come to anthropology via a circuitous route. During graduate school in Urban Planning at New York University, I was deeply immersed in the emerging field of advocacy planning, essentially doing the work of applied anthropology, but not identifying it by that name. The development of neighborhood groups during the early 70's needed professional support to realize their missions of community engagement and community building and I had the opportunity to be among a group of planners and architects from across the country who worked to create an organization to respond to that need. My understanding of and commitment to anthropology, however, did not become formalized until 1988 when Jean J. Schensul, a nationally recognized anthropologist took on the daunting task of creating the Institute for Community Research (ICR) as an independent nonprofit research organization. ICR outlined its commitment to using the tools of research in collaboration with community towards the objectives of social justice; and along with Dr. Schensul and other colleagues, I participated in building the organization. Together we have developed and used the methods and tools of anthropology in partnership with marginalized groups most especially women, girls, families headed by woman and youth as they identified and addressed issues in their daily lives, sought to understand them from their own perspectives, to test and deepen their understanding through research and action, and to bring about change through research-driven advocacy. In this paper I will describe how these activities have informed and shaped my understanding of myself personally and professionally as a woman and as an urban, applied anthropologist.
Finding a Voice in Highly Technicized, Rational and Masculine Settings
Jeanette Blomberg, IBM Almaden Research
High tech corporate research settings are dominated by agendas that stress causal relationships, schematized elements, and a desire to fix socio-material relations. The emergent, situated quality of social life is not readily acknowledged and is viewed by some as an assault on the rational, deterministic goals of "science." Working as an anthropologist in these settings for nearly a quarter century, first at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center and now at IBM Research, has required a thick skin, patience and a tolerance for having to explain oneself over and over again. In these organizations where nearly 90% of the researchers are male, a female anthropologist is not only "other," but also potentially dangerous to established and shared ways of seeing and being in the world. In this talk I will discuss strategies for finding a voice in these technicized settings that enables new agendas and perspectives to take hold.
Dropping Out and Dropping In: Exploring the Professional Identity of Women Practitioners
Mary Odell Butler, Battelle
Women who trained as anthropologists during the early days of the feminist movement have developed careers in an atmosphere of profound change for both anthropologists and women. Many of us came into anthropology because of good role models - woman anthropologists like Margaret Mead and Ruth Benedict. But by the time we received advanced degrees, academic jobs were largely "tenured in" by anthropologists who trained in the decade after World War II, most of them male. With academic opportunities attenuated, women took advantage of new opportunities in practicing anthropology. Many women who were successful as practitioners moved away from anthropology altogether, partly because the world of practice demanded demonstrated skills more than professional identity and partly because the image of anthropology as "soft" compounded barriers that they faced as women in workplaces dominated by technology. Outreach to woman practitioners who have "fallen out" of anthropology and their inclusion in the life of the profession as well as creating linkages between practitioners and both professors and students are key opportunities for AAA to mentor anthropologists as they face fundamental changes in employment opportunities available to them.
Seeing Double Two Times: Applying Anthropology Across the Divides
Jacqueline Copeland-Carson, U.S. Bank Private Client Group
This paper explores the challenges women, and others, can face in constructing hybrid career identities that integrate theory, practice and lived experience from multiple fields. Copeland-Carson suggests that women of color applied anthropologists often experience a kind of double, "double consciousness" (DuBois 1990/1903) as they traverse multiple cultural worlds, struggle against racism and sexism, as well as the discipline's subordination of practice. With growing interest in ethnography in various fields and industries, she argues that there may be an emerging feminization of practicing or applied anthropology affecting both men and women. This feminization can position applied ethnography (practice) as "soft" (women's) work, leaving analyzing and theorizing (scholarship) to the "hard" (men's) social sciences such as economics. Copeland-Carson suggests tactics for empowering practicing careers, and proposes a scholarship-practitioner vision of anthropology that uses data from applied practice to inform publicly relevant scholarship.
Living as an Anthropologist: Person, Practice, and Priorities
Miki Iris, Council for Jewish Elderly
Biographical and autobiographical writings by female anthropologists constitute a small yet growing literature that provides us with a long history of the barriers and challenges women have faced in the course of building a career in anthropology. These writings are filled with descriptions of difficult choices and roadblocks to advancement and success, largely experienced within the fieldwork setting though with occasional reference to discrimination within academic departments, or even blockades to appointments. Less frequently, we read of the various supports these women have received. However, despite a greater willingness on the part of our female colleagues to expose the more personal side of becoming an anthropologist, we know little about the career pathways of women as practitioners. This presentation will describe one practitioner's experiences of traversing this path, focusing upon the "critical intersections" where important choices must be made, and the "dangerous issues" that can arise in the course of career development. Specifically addressed will be the intersection of the applied practice setting and the academy; family and career as both a tension and a stimulus; and the opportunities presented by grappling with dangerous issues such as disability, the "critical voice," and power relationships. The importance of situated practice will be described.
Theory and Practice: Improvising a Life as a Practicing Anthropologist
Eve Pinkser, Stroger Hospital of Cook County, University of Illinois at Chicago
Success as a practicing anthropologist demands the use of ethnographic skills to learn which aspects and results of anthropological theory and method will be seen as useful by potential audiences and employers. The curiosity about multiple social worlds and perspectives that led me to become an anthropologist, added to the need to be gainfully employed, has also led me to investigate multiple venues where an anthropologist's perspective can make a contribution -- from community development and evaluation to family medicine, public health, and leadership training. Although I have been sometimes frustrated by potential colleagues who find that perspective too far "out of the box," the advantage of being an ethnographer and participant-observer is that any experiences enrich the data I can draw from in advancing my own knowledge of social world(s) and how I can fit in -- or not. In trying to explain to others the connections between what may seem like diverse areas of interest, I have been forced to clarify for myself the broad questions that have held my interest and my passion over time: the connections between individual change and social change, and between social organization and cultural models.
A Female Practitioner's Guide for Careers in Anthropology
Heather Walsh-Haney, Florida Gulf Coast University

Forensic Anthropology is an applied anthropology field that promulgates the view that its practitioner's are educated in the subfields of physical anthropology (human and nonhuman primate anatomy, evolution, behavior), human osteology (the skeletal system on a macroscopic and microscopic level), and archaeology (analysis material culture) in order to debate their findings concerning a decedent's identification and trauma analysis in a court of law. For the most part, being recognized as a content expert, within international and national courtrooms, requires that the forensic anthropologist have masters or doctoral degrees in physical anthropology and that she has extensive laboratory and field experience in the analysis and collection of human skeletal cases, respectively. The acquisition of case experience requires interdisciplinary work with attorneys, pathologists, law enforcement, and experts from other scientific fields such as botany, entomology, toxicology, and odontology all of whom must endeavor to allow both novice and veteran access to the forensic anthropologist's basic units of analyses (e.g., the skeletal cases). Yet, little attention has been paid to the notion that while more women are becoming forensic anthropology practitioner's most will work along side disproportionately higher numbers of men from other forensic fields. Additionally, numbers of skeletal cases are unduly female. As such, mentoring young forensic anthropologists must not only involve technical training but also (1) emphasize how women can and should move forward and upward in the forensics community and (2) place a premium on developing new methods in the analysis and interpretation of trauma patterns and lifeways evidenced by female victims. In keeping with the topics mentioned above, I will discuss current deficiencies in the applied field of forensic anthropology and present suggestions on bettering the field for future women in forensic anthropology.
Working in Hi Tech
Sue Squires, Sun Microsystems
Increasing numbers of anthropologists have elected to work outside of the academy as anthropology has gotten more public exposure. I will share how I came to apply anthropology in the business sector and offers lessons I have learned including the value the theory and methods of anthropology, the importance of a good work environment, and the benefits of supportive collaborative work teams.
The Spiral Path: Toward an Integrated Life
Alaka Wali, The Center for Cultural Understanding and Change The Field Museum Chicago
In this paper, I discuss how my work as an applied anthropologist have been shaped by opportunities and obstacles, both personal and professional that I encountered at various points in my career. I use the organizing framework of Mary Catherine Bateson's concepts of improvisation and "composing a life" to discuss how gender, childhood events, political beliefs and upheavals in the discipline of anthropology intersected as I tried to navigate the paths of self-discovery and professional fulfillment. In reflecting on the twists and turns my own career has taken, I hope to offer lessons learned to the next generation of anthropologists who must navigate perhaps even more difficult terrains.

State-of-the-art, remote monitoring and clinician notification system helps
keep nursing facility patients safe and clinicians happy
IRVINE, Calif., June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masimo (Nasdaq: MASI), the inventor of Pulse CO-Oximetry and Measure-Through-Motion-and-Low-Perfusion pulse oximetry, today announced the first installation of the Masimo Patient SafetyNet remote monitoring and clinician notification system outside of a hospital setting. The East Tennessee Respiratory Center at Hillcrest North, a skilled nursing facility in Knoxville, TN, installed the Patient SafetyNet system after Respiratory Support Services (RSS) -- the center's respiratory care providers -- outlined the significant clinical benefits that were possible with the system.
"Masimo Patient SafetyNet has made a remarkable difference in almost every aspect of respiratory care at the Hillcrest North facility," stated Gene Gantt, Chief Executive Officer of RSS. "Evidence of Masimo Patient SafetyNet's effect on patient safety is undeniable. After installation, we immediately noticed a reduction in false alarms by more than 60 percent and a marked reduction in hospital readmissions and acute care transfers, while the effectiveness of our ventilator weaning program and our clinical efficiency has improved."
Skilled nursing facilities are private institutions that present a unique challenge to patient monitoring. There are no glass windows to make observation of a patient in the privacy of their own room easy. Without an appropriate remote monitoring and clinician notification system, physiological early warning indicators -- such as decreases in oxygen saturation and pulse rate, which often precede respiratory distress or cardiac arrest -- may go unobserved.
"In this setting, it is difficult to adequately monitor patients
without compromising their privacy or comfort," said Scott Gantt, Chief
Operating Officer of RSS. "Masimo Patient SafetyNet allows u

Where am I?
CSJ Associate Info
Who are CSJ Associates?
Associates are women and men, married and single, who are called by God to commit to extending the mission and sharing the spirit of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet without becoming vowed members.
Associate membership has a long, rich history with the Sisters of St. Joseph, dating back to the founding of the congregation in France in 1650. Individuals became spiritual companions and partners in service with the sisters while maintaining their own lifestyle as married, widowed or single persons.
With the second Vatican Council, the Sisters of St. Joseph went back to their roots and came to a deeper realization of the ways they share the heart of their mission -their charism of loving unity-with others. Since 1974 the sisters of the St. Louis Province have invited others to deepen their baptismal call as CSJ Associates.
Today, almost 300 associates continue to bring the CSJ spirit to their jobs, parishes and families as they share their gifts in works of justice and peace, care for the poor and for the earth.
How do I become an Associate?
Women and men enter a candidacy process in which they experience the spirit of the congregation through relationships with sisters, associates and other candidates and by learning the history, spirituality and ministry of the community. Associates emerge from the process more conscious of how to live in loving unity with self, with others, with creation and with the dear neighbor.
What does Association offer?
Support and challenge of a faith community
Opportunities for personal growth
Personal relationships with sisters and associates
Participation in retreats, days of prayer, celebrations and community meetings
Monthly gatherings in a samll community of sisters and associates
Invitations ot participate in local and national activities
Opportunites to serve the province in ministries and on committees
You may wish to explore association if...
You are seeking to engage in a deeper, more intentional spiritual journey with others who will support and challenge you.
You are looking for a faith community iwth whom to pray, minister and celebrate God's presence in life.
You desire to further soical justice, particularly on behalf of the economically poor and unjustly deprived.
You realize that life has a deeper meaning withn lived in the context of reflection, shared experience and meaningful service to all of God's people.

How Much Should We Worry About Poultry Imported From China?
One month ago, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) quietly lifted the ban on processed poultry imports from China. This raised immediate concerns in the United States. The media responded critically to the decision; a recent Bloomberg article was titled "Don't Trust a Chicken Nugget That's Visited China." U.S. consumers were worried, perhaps even frightened. One person commented to the CBS News report that "[I am] immediately taking anything and everything with processed chicken off my shopping list. It's been clear for a long time now that products from China are simply not safe and may even be harmful." Read more »

Microsoft has already announced some pretty interesting Black Friday deals on most of its products, including the Surface tablet, so it seems like Americans really enjoy these discounts.
A huge crowd is now gathering in front of Microsoft's Store in Bellevue at midnight, Twitter user Sachin Patil wrote, as Microsoft is offering a free sleeve for the first 100 tablets sold in every retail store.
What's more, every single Surface buyer who chooses the 32GB or the 64GB bundle will get $50 (€39) off a second Touch or Type cover.
Leaving all these Black Friday deals aside, the Surface tablet is available in three different flavors, with the most affordable model wearing a price tag of $499 (€380). It comes with 32 GB of storage space, but the package does not include a Touch Cover.

The LX arm includes CF, Ergotron''s proprietary lift-and-pivot motion technology. Easily lift, swing, extend, tilt or turn your display with the touch of your fingertips. Arm extends up to 24", folds back to 5" clearance.
Main Features
Comments about Ergotron LX Wall Mount Arm:
This wall mount has two things that many don't - a high build quality and the ability to fold back so the monitor is less than 2 inches from the wall. Using a 21 inch flat panel, the mount is completely hidden when not extended - a plus when used for a part time tv monitor that needs to be out of the way when not in use. Adjustable tensioning keeps the flat panel exactly where you want it whether fully or partially extended. The panel can be tilted, twisted, raised or lowered to virtually any viewing position and easily returned to its folded position. You can't beat this value.

Right - pulling a sick amount of silver out of the ground and posting the results on the website is clearly "pumping a stock". If only we should be so lucky.... I can't believe I'm saying this, but the irony is that management appears to be too focused on finding silver to pump this thing.

Saturday's results showed facing an undefeated team such as DeForest doesn't intimidate this year's Stevens Point Area Senior High softball team.
SPASH completely dominated DeForest 12-0 to hand the Norskies their first setback of the year; the Panthers then closed out their home invitational with a 3-2 win over Hortonville at Woyak Field.
"In the first game especially, we faced a tough pitcher, and I thought we had some quality at-bats and hit it out of the ball park a couple times," Drohner said. "That momentum carried over to the Hortonville game. Hortonville is an outstanding team and ...

We're going to start this one off with a critical warning: Don't try this at home. Seriously. We know you want to impress your friends, but sabering a bottle of champagne is pretty dangerous if it goes wrong. Three words: "Flying broken glass." With that out of the way, let's move on to the fun stuff.
You've got a bottle of bubbly, and you want to open it with a certain degree of panache. And while the resounding "pop" of a newly freed cork is satisfying and all, this is the sort of situation that calls for something more. So why not make like Napoleon's soldiers did on the field of victory and open the damn thing with a sword?
Of course, you probably don't have a sword handy, so just reach for a heavy chef's knife. The blunt side should be squared-off, as you need a well-defined edge on it to properly execute this technique. Once you've got that, grab your champagne—it should be chilled to less than 40°F—and remove the foil from the top, keeping the wire cage on, lest the cork pop out accidentally.
Now look for the seams that run up either side of the bottle, and identify the more prominent one. That's what you'll be following with the blunt edge of the knife, all the way up to where the top lip meets the rest of the bottle. Sabering takes advantage of the structural instability where those two seams meet. Hit that edge with some force, and you break the top cleanly off. Which is what you're about to do, but you should really step outside first.
Once you can see sky, make sure the bottle is facing away from anything living or breakable, then give it a couple of practice runs with a light touch. Ready for the real thing? Good. Line up, bring the knife firmly up the side seam, and follow right on through when you hit that lip. The top of the bottle will crack right off, the champagne will bubble over dramatically, and you'll better understand the thrill of victory—or at least the satisfaction of a well-earned drink.
