How can access to important research and scholarship be available to all, not just "the one percent"? On Tuesday, February 28, at 12:00 PM in Columbia University's Faculty House Presidential Rooms 2 & 3, join us for "Protests, Petitions and Publishing: Widening Access to Research in 2012" to discuss how Occupy Wall Street, the Research Works Act (RWA), the boycott of Elsevier journals by a growing number of academics, and other recent developments are informing the debate over access to research and scholarship. The event is free and open to the public.
The Occupy movement resonated widely on college campuses in America and around the world when it began in Fall 2011 and reinvigorated discussion of socioeconomic inequality and increasing costs associated with higher education. Current debates about scholarly publishing have further echoed these themes. Two bills—the RWA, which seeks to end public-access policies to federally funded research, and the Federal Research Public Access Act, which seeks to expand the reach of these policies—are currently under consideration in Congress. In response, over 6,000 scholars have signed an online petition boycotting the scholarly journals published by the commercial publisher Elsevier, one of the major financial supporters of the sponsors of the RWA. Meanwhile, several societies have begun to address their membership's concerns about publishing practices that may be seen to exclude scholars at all but the most wealthy institutions. Are scholars and publishers finally ready to change the process by which scholarship is distributed?
The speakers bring a variety of perspectives to the issue of access to research.
Allan Adler is Vice President for Legal and Governmental Affairs in the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the Association of American Publishers (AAP), where he deals with intellectual property, freedom of speech, new technology, and other industry-related issues.
Gail Drakes is a doctoral candidate in the Program in American Studies at New York University and Associate Faculty at NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Her current teaching and research interests explore the ways in which copyright (and other forms of private ownership of information) serve to regulate access to the stories, sounds, and images that shape collective scholarly and public understandings of the past.
Alex Golub is assistant professor of Anthropology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. His general research interests include kinship and identity, World of Warcraft and the Internet, resource development, and political anthropology. He is a founder of the popular cultural anthropology blog "Savage Minds."
Oona Schmid is the Director of Publishing at the American Anthropological Association. She is responsible for the daily oversight and long-term planning around a complex publishing program that includes more than 20 specialized anthropological journals.
Peter Woit is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics at Columbia University. Since 2004 he has written on physics and mathematics topics for his blog "Not Even Wrong." His current research is on quantum field theory and automorphic representations.
This is Columbia University's Scholarly Communication Program's third event this academic year in their speaker series, Research Without Borders: The Changing World of Scholarly Communication.

Cancel Our Newlywed Game Appearance
We are SO not winning the washer/dryer.
This is an actual exchange last night between me and my husband of 12 years:
Husband: Hey, guess what - you know our realtor, Geena? She has a blog!
Me: Cool.
Husband: Hers is called "Geenablog".com. You should call yours 'Sueblog'.
Me: Well I can't NOW.. everyone already knows the name.
Husband: What is it - "Happy... Hour... Meals"?
8 Year Old: DAD. "Happy Meals & Happy Hour".
Husband: Yeah, that's too long.
Me: Other people seem to remember it.
Husband: How about just "Sue.com"
Me: First of all, no. Second of all, it would sound like I was copying Dooce.
Husband: Who's Dooce.
Me: That really popular blogger who's in the book with me?
Husband: You're in a book?"
I swear to God, people.
Edward would SO know I was in a book.
"33 more days til Sue's book comes out..."

Sounds just like my hubby! Oh, when we're with his friends, he'll talk it up (and get the name right) like he knows all about it, but in Real Life, he only reads posts that have anything to do with him. Otherwise he is completely blogosphere-clueless.
Don't worry, woman, WE know who you are. WE know the title of your blog. WE know what a huge deal it is to be in a book at all, let alone with Dooce. WE love ya baby! ...now where's my lolly pop (I'm not shavin my head though)
- February 19, 2009 at 11:43 AM
- deconstructing jen said...
Oh man, you're married to my husband too. I think it's hilarious that your daughter knows and tells him with such attitude, lol.
Yeah, Edward would remember and have a special dinner planned with roses the night the book came out. WHY isn't he real???
- February 19, 2009 at 11:51 AM

Ha! This is hilarious and had me in stitches...men! Are they really ALL the same?!?!?
- February 19, 2009 at 12:04 PM
- Peggy said...
I love the name of your blog! Happy Hour Mealtime? Just kidding!
It's great! I think I'm going to change the name of mine to something catchier...any ideas?
Men! Hmph!
- February 19, 2009 at 12:29 PM
- Aprille - The Muddled said...
You know of course that it has nothing to do with how long you have been married but instead your proximity to the tip of his nose when you tell him "things". The closer the better, and if there is any sports related noise on around you, including a small child 10 miles away playing with a yoyo, he will hear nothing but that string.
im just sayin.

Even MY kids know the name of YOUR blog! Sheesh, what up with him?

LOL - love it!!! Wish RPattz was gonna be in SF this weekend - but it's okay - I'll take Kellan and Jackson :P
P.S. Congrats on the book!!!

Oh no. I would probably slap Tim if he didn't know I was in a book :o lol

Awesome! I had a very similar conversation with my hubby.

Oh my word!
And I love your blog name!
- February 19, 2009 at 1:01 PM
- Wendy said...
Ha! This reminds me of when my hubs said in the middle of some religion conversation, "well, you don't believe in God, anyway, so what difference does it make to you?" WHAAAAAAA? I believe!
Hi. Have we met? I'm your WIFE!
- February 19, 2009 at 1:06 PM
- Evolving Mommy Catherine said...
It's sad that 4 words (two of which are the same) are too many for a man to remember.
- February 19, 2009 at 1:18 PM
- Dugout Daisy said...
Edward makes all men look just plain sad. there is no comparison, he is the perfect man.
- February 19, 2009 at 1:20 PM
- Piece o' Coconut Cake said...
*sigh* Well, apparently there is only one man in this country and we're ALL married to him! And when mine DOES actually do something/say something out of the ordinary ("Thanks for making my favorite for dinner, hon" would be a PERFECT example) I say to him, "Who are you and what have you done with my husband?"
- February 19, 2009 at 1:20 PM
- Miss Yvonne said...
"You're in a book?"...priceless!
Your blog name is awesome, never change it.

Been married for nearly 10 years and my husband's mother DOES NOT know how to spell my first name! But yes, yours is worse. ;)
btw, where does Dooce come up with that name anyway? (Maybe she's explained before and I missed it.)
- February 19, 2009 at 1:35 PM
- Searching For Reinforcements said...
Absolutely hysterical, absolutely typical. And you're right about Edward. Just pretend, like I do -- I just helped my hubs update his facebook profile, with a profile picture of Robert. It helps with the fantasy!
- February 19, 2009 at 1:35 PM
- Leigh (Modern Mommy) said...
So, now that you're gonna be published I bet you can call up Rob's agent and be all "I'd like to do an interview for a book I'm writing..."

And I personally love your blog name... much more creative than 'dooce'... not to mention you're waaaaay funnier than her! ;)
- February 19, 2009 at 2:07 PM
- Susan said...
I am seriously convinced men are missing something. Missing what, I am not quite sure. But that conversation would have gone the same way, word for word, in my home.
- February 19, 2009 at 2:10 PM
- Tenakim said...
Very funny- I think I could give you a run for your money on a game show about 'whose husband notices LESS about you.'
- February 19, 2009 at 2:14 PM
- Elisa said...
yay! just over a month before the book comes out!
I swear, these husbands... they know nothing. I got a framed print for my husband for V-Day that says "I love you, blogs and tea". Cute, right? he didn't really get it. Umph.
- February 19, 2009 at 2:14 PM
- The Mom Jen said...
And Alice would SO know where the conversation was headed before you even said it. Ah...if we could only have Edward in our lives...
- February 19, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- Jenni Jiggety said...
Edward would know...and he would leave you fabulous comments...
- February 19, 2009 at 4:06 PM
- Susan in the Psych Ward said...
I have to say... sounds like every conversation I have with my hubs... but look on the bright side- he didn't know who Dooce is!!!
- February 19, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Stopped by to get caught up. As usual great Stuff.
Can I suggest a book for your Hubby "How the Net Generation is Changing Your World" by Don Tapscott.
If not show him this:
Not that your Blog accepts this but he may go on line to your Blog and see if any other crap like this gets sent. Might help his memory or enhance his digital experience.

I added you to my blogroll and you ended up right under Dooce...LOL! Sorry about that!
Love your site!
- February 19, 2009 at 8:46 PM
- Jessica said...
Boys. They are so oblivious.
- February 19, 2009 at 9:40 PM
At least he didn't check out the realtor's blog and yell, "Honey! You have to check this out! She's AWESOME. You know, you could learn a few things from her."
My husband didn't even bother to read my blog until his best friend said my blog was funny. Now suddenly I'm good enough to skim on a slow day at work. Whoppidy-do.

Yeah, my whole family (mom and sis included) knows who you are, and the name of your blog! Roo and Moo (6 and 4) also know that you make mommy pee while cackling at her computer. For reelz. Send Depends.
- February 20, 2009 at 11:23 AM
- Bee and Rose said...
Wait! Why is my husband hanging out at your house and posing as your husband???
You should do an entire blog based on your conversations with him! I bet he'd remember everything about that blog! LOL!
And Edward would shower you with his lovliness for your book deal! Swoon....

- Beth Kephart said...
Oh my goodness, this made me laugh today. Well, several books into a small literary life here, I am often standing beside my handsome husband when some poor soul will begin to ask him thus and so about some book I've written. He'll nod. He'll look cute. He'll look glamorous, even.
And then, after the poor soul is out of breath with their lit question, he'll smile. Actually, he'll say, I didn't read it.
- February 20, 2009 at 6:36 PM
- Anna Lefler said...
You should start calling your hubs by the wrong name. Then when he corrects you, tell him it's too long for you to remember.
"Jerry?? Who's got time to remember all that?"!
BTW, thanks so much for your comment on Beth Kephart's blog today - that really meant a lot to me. I feel the same way about you! I have to read your blog (what's it called again?) with one eye shut because half of me is sooo envious of just how damn good you are. Truly.

Too funny. My hubby of 30 yrs (yes, that's thirty years) just gave me a huge bunch of lillies for Valentine's Day. Yah, lillies make me violently ill. I swear we're all married to the same guy....and he isn't paying attention.
- February 21, 2009 at 11:01 AM
- Nanny Goats In Panties said...
Edward would so know you were in a book because Edward pays attention to you! Your hubby must be one of those clueless, non-listening vampires.

- Wendi said...
Um, we aren't going to be winning any washers or dryers either.
My husband doesn't know the difference between blogging and twittering.
I feel certain he never reads mine.
The photo and comment at the end of this post...priceless!
You are a genius!

for f's sake. that was too funny. poor you. edward WOULD have known.
- February 24, 2009 at 5:09 PM

I still hear screams from upstairs that Edward is the perfect man..coming from the 15 year old that thinks she knows was a "man" is.. the sad part he is probably more of a man them most I know. I will leave it at that..

text: Audiology (Hearing) Our doctors of audiology, known as "audiologists," provide testing for children of all ages and developmental levels. Test results give the audiologist information on any hearing problem as well as the need for referral to another specialist. What is an audiologist? Audiologists (au-di-ol-o-gists) specialize in the diagnosis, management and treatment of hearing and balance disorders. They provide direct service for people of all ages and abilities, from newborns to the elderly, in schools, private clinics, and hospitals. What we offer We provide the full range of audiology testing and services. The tests are detailed below. We also provide family education regarding auditory and communication development, hearing conservation, hearing loss, and educational programming. We are able to coordinate all aspects of care, from inpatient through outpatient, for children at Randall Children's Hospital. We also provide analysis and interpretation of test results and implications for communicative, educational, and social development. We work collaboratively with family, physicians, interdisciplinary clinics and outside parties such as early intervention and school personnel. Note: Our staff does not currently dispense hearing aids; rather we work with our community partners to ensure that children receive the assistance they need. Testing We provide the full range of audiology testing and services. Behavioral tests for those children who are old enough to respond to sounds by turning their head, playing a game, raising their hand, or repeating words. Among these: Visual reinforcement audiometry (VRA) Conditioned play audiometry (CPA) Standard audiometry Speech audiometry, including word recognition testing Periodic monitoring of hearing for children on ototoxic medication and for children with chronic illnesses or medical conditions that put them at greater risk for hearing loss Auditory processing testing Physiologic tests for those too young to respond or cannot perform a behavioral test, or when we need to double check the behavioral responses against a more objective test. Among these: Newborn hearing screening and diagnostic follow up Otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs and DPOAEs) Middle ear studies, such as tympanometry and acoustic reflex testing Auditory evoked potential testing: auditory brainstem response (ABR or BAER) under natural sleep. This is a sleeping test. Small disk-like sensors called electrodes are placed onto the head, and foam tips are put in the child's ears. Different clicking sounds are presented to one ear at a time. This test measures the hearing nerve activity in response to the sounds. This test is painless and takes approximately two-three hours, depending on how well the child sleeps. If the child is not expected to sleep naturally, sedation can be given by an anesthesiologist. A pediatric nurse is also present to help monitor your child while the test is done (This is a sedated ABR) Auditory steady state response (ASSR). This is very similar to the ABR and is also a sleeping hearing test that measures an electrical response of the inner ear and auditory nerve. The test can be done either in natural sleep or with the use of a mild sedative, along with sleep deprivation techniques. Our location Newborn hearing screening services are found at several of Legacy's facilities. Pediatric audiology care is found on the Legacy Emanuel campus, with outpatient testing conducted in Legacy Emanuel Medical Center and inpatient testing within Randall Children's Hospital. For our outpatient adult patients, we partner with the Clinical Audiology and Vestibular Lab at Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center. Legacy Emanuel Medical Center 2801 N. Gantenbein Ave., Suite 3210 Portland, OR 97221 503-413-HEAR (4327) 503-413-3959 fax

I'm trying to use the
afterpage package to automatically insert text at the top of each page (please see my other question Section reminders at the top of each page?) but I'm having trouble.
Sometimes I get unlucky and a list environment starts just before a page break. The first
\item doesn't appear until just after the page break. When this happens, LaTeX gives me a "missing
\item" error message because
\afterpage is inserting text right after the start of a list environment.
Here is a minimal example that emulates the problem I'm seeing:
before list
\item an item
after list
If I remove that
\clearpage, then everything works as expected.
Is there something I can pass to
\afterpage that would temporarily reset TeX's state so that I can safely insert some vertical mode material (e.g., a
minipage) at the top of the next page without interfering with environments that span pages?

Collected Stories
Seren, 1996 - Fiction - 324 pages
Leslie Norris' stories are among the hidden treasures of modern short story writing. His fiction is one of epiphany and celebration; it charts the personal discoveries, small and large, which shape the growth of character and the intimate relationships between people. It also explores how nature impinges on the human world. Indeed, in Norris' world objects are almost as important as people, they are richly described catalysts of human action and changed directions. Place and nature - hills, lakes, rivers, towns, animals - have the same weight as the characters who act out their lives against the background of a huge universe. These are stories set in a recognisable world which can slip into the visionary.

Time to get things done in America
2009 begins with a new president, new Congress and an alleged attitude of bipartisanship and a new way government does things.
But, sad to say, the oddballs, the weak links and dumb butts of 2008 spill into the new year.
President Obama proposed spending of some $825 billion dollars to jumpstart the economy. The GOP leadership balks.

College Rating System
In August, President Obama put forward an ambitious new agenda to combat rising college costs, encourage colleges to improve their value, and empower students and families with information to make informed decisions about which college to attend. The President's plan included three steps: paying for performance, promoting innovation and competition, and ensuring that student debt remains affordable. As part of this proposal, the President directed the Department to develop a rating system to better inform students and encourage colleges to improve. The ratings will compare colleges with similar missions and identify those that do the most to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as those that are improving their performance. In the future, the rating system could steer taxpayer dollars toward high-performing institutions.
To develop the college rating system, the agency is seeking the best ideas and most creative thinking on some key themes:
- college access, such as the percentage of students receiving Pell Grants;
- college affordability, such as average tuition, scholarships, and loan debt; and
- outcomes, such as students' graduation and transfer rates, graduate earnings, and advanced degrees of college graduates.
On September 19, the Department launched a nationwide series of public discussions by convening student advocates and leaders -- since students will benefit the most from these efforts -- at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C. Over the coming months, Department leaders will be traveling across the country to host open forums, roundtable discussions, and town halls to gather suggestions. And, members of the general public are invited to send their suggestions to email@example.com. (Note: Additional information about the college affordability and value outreach initiative will be posted here .)
Meanwhile, last week, Secretary Duncan delivered remarks at the TIME Summit on Higher Education, highlighting the President's plan and discussing the challenges of assessing the affordability and value of college. "We know there are no silver bullets or easy solutions here, but we also know we can't let the difficulty of the challenges facing higher education become a discussion-ending excuse for inaction," he said. "We very much want -- and need -- the benefit of your collective guidance and wisdom about how to design a rating system that ensures America's extraordinary system of higher education continues to thrive, grow, and strengthen our entire nation."
Also, to support the ambitious postsecondary agenda, the Department announced the appointment of Jamienne Studley as Deputy Under Secretary of Education. She will serve alongside the agency's other Deputy Under Secretary, Jeff Appel.
Blue Ribbon Schools
This week, via the Department's USTREAM channel (see archived video), Secretary Duncan announced 286 schools as 2013 National Blue Ribbon Schools. This program honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools where students perform at the highest levels or where significant increases are being made in students' levels of achievement. Chief State School Officers nominate public schools. The Council for American Private Education nominates private schools. All schools will be honored at a ceremony in Washington, D.C., November 18 and 19. In its 31-year history, the program has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,500 of America's schools.
Broad Prize
Also this week, Secretary Duncan joined philanthropist Eli Broad to announce the Houston Independent School District in Texas as the winner of the 2013 Broad Prize for Urban Education -- the largest education prize in America awarded to the most improved urban district. Houston, the nation's seventh-largest district serving more than 200,000 students (88% of whom are African-American or Hispanic, and 80% of whom are low-income), is the prize's first two-time winner, besting three other finalists: Corona-Norco Unified and San Diego Unified in southern California and Cumberland County in North Carolina. The $1 million prize goes to graduating high school seniors for college scholarships; Houston ISD receives $550,000, while the other three finalists each receive $150,000. (Note: A video on the four finalists, featuring interviews with their superintendents, is available online.)
Early Learning
On September 18, business and not-for-profit leaders, educators, and senior White House and Department officials met at Miami-Dade College to discuss early learning within the Hispanic community. Although Hispanic children represent the fastest-growing segment of the nation's population under age 5, less than half are enrolled in an early learning program. The discussion focused on existing research on the impact of quality early learning, its impact on national security and the economy, and the President's Preschool for All initiative, while encouraging the private and philanthropic sectors to increase investments, complementing federal investments, and encouraging media to dedicate resources. (Note: Don't miss Professor James Heckman's opening video message, as well as video [1, 2, 3, 4, and 5] from the summit's proceedings.)
On September 23, Secretary Duncan attended the 2013 National Business Leader Summit, hosted by ReadyNation-America's Promise Alliance and the Georgia Early Education Alliance for Ready Students (GEEARS), in Atlanta. He discussed with business executives and public officials the importance of investment in early learning to strengthen the economy and global competitiveness. During the summit, executives affirmed their businesses' commitment to young children as a national economic priority.
Then, on September 25, New York Times Washington Bureau Chief David Leonhardt sat down with the Secretary, former Indiana governor and current Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, and former Michigan governor and current Business Roundtable President John Engler for a conversation [1 and 2] on the nation's education system, including early learning.
Moreover, according to a new report by nine organizations focused on early learning and/or public health, President Obama's plan to expand early childhood education and fund it with an increase in federal tobacco taxes would ensure that two million low- and moderate-income children have access to high-quality preschool and prevent 1.7 million children from becoming smokers.
Race to the Top-Early Learning Challenge Frequently Asked Questions for applicants are available online. States are requested to indicate their intent to apply by September 30, and applications are due October 16.
Transition Flexibility
This summer, Secretary Duncan declared in a letter to Chief State School Officers that the Department is open to providing additional flexibility for states during the transition to new assessments aligned with college- and career-ready standards. First, for states that have received a Race to the Top grant or flexibility under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the agency will consider requests delaying personnel consequences for teachers and principals tied to the new assessments for up to one year beyond current plans, until no later than 2016-17. Second, for all states, the agency will consider requests to allow schools that participate in a field test to have students take only one end-of-the-year test -- either the current statewide assessment or the field test -- with provisions for school-level accountability staying the same for one year. (Note: Guidance on and templates for applying for the flexibilities are posted here.)
Odds and Ends
On September 17, the aforementioned David Leonhardt sat down with Secretary Duncan for a wide-ranging interview at the New York Times' "Schools for Tomorrow" conference.
That evening, the Secretary was on The Colbert Report.
On September 26, the Secretary delivered remarks at the National Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Week Conference, titled "The Enduring and Evolving Role of HBCUs."
A few more items from the "Strong Start, Bright Future" Back to School bus tour: the Secretary's closing remarks in Chula Vista, California; a blog post on Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services Michael Yudin's "Let's Move!" event in Marana, Arizona; and Washington Post reporter Lyndsey Layton's in-depth story and video on Columbus Elementary School in New Mexico.
Throughout the month, before the close of the federal fiscal year, the Department has announced grant awards under a number of programs. Some highlights: $30 million for six awards to improve student achievement by increasing the effectiveness of teachers and principals (Supporting Effective Educators Development [SEED] Program); $2.75 million for 12 awards to strengthen minority participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics [STEM] fields (Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program); and nearly $9.2 million for 58 awards to support campus-based child care services (Child Care Access Means Parents in School Program). Also, Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez announced $474.5 million in grants to community colleges and universities for the development and expansion of innovative training programs in partnership with local employers (part of the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Program).
Growth in the sheer number of partnerships between public and private schools prompted creation of the National Network of Schools in Partnership.
During a special ceremony at the National Book Festival, five distinguished teenagers were appointed the second annual class of the National Student Poets Program, the nation's top honor for youth poets presenting original work.
The Department recently announced in the Federal Register its intention to establish a negotiated rulemaking committee to prepare proposed regulations to address the changes to the campus safety and security reporting requirements in the Jeanne Clery Act instituted by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013.
Just 43% of this year's college-bound seniors met the SAT College and Career Readiness Benchmark, which indicates a 65% likelihood of achieving a "B-" average or higher during the first year of college. This number has remained virtually unchanged during the last five years.
The Department is actively soliciting comments on its draft Fiscal Year 2014-18 Strategic Plan, which lays out the agency's goals and how it will meet them. All comments must be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com by October 4, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. (Note: A video overview of the draft Strategic Plan, provided by Deputy Secretary Jim Shelton, is posted here.)
Quote to Note
"I want to speak today about some of the early reaction to the President's announcement [on a college rating system]…. To be absolutely clear, we have not even begun to develop the college rating system, and we are only in the beginning stages of soliciting input from a wide range of stakeholders about the metrics that should and should not be used in the ratings. I'm not sure how this is possible, but a few critics have already gone on the attack, against a rating system they don't like but that doesn't exist. That is obviously a little premature and more than a little silly. Over the course of the next year, we are going to solicit input on the rating system from literally hundreds and hundreds of stakeholders. Next month, we plan to release a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit comments from technical experts about the metrics we should use. Later in 2014, we plan to release a draft proposal for public comment and review. No later than December of next year, we'll use the feedback we receive to finalize the college rating system."
|Secretary Arne Duncan (9/20/13), in remarks at the TIME Summit on Higher Education
Upcoming Events
On Monday, September 30, at 1:00 p.m. ET, Secretary Duncan will deliver a major speech on the state of American education at the National Press Club. He will recap today's education challenges and discuss what the Department hopes to accomplish moving forward. The event is only open to NPC members and credentialed media, but it will be webcast and archived online.
October is Connected Educator Month, and the initial calendar features more than 170 events. Educators at all levels, as well as those who support them, are invited to sign-up for regular updates about interactive webinars and other real time events, forums, showcases, and contests. Educators are also encouraged to develop, host, and run their own activities, publish content, and generally promote the month.
NBC News will convene its fourth annual Education Nation Summit October 6 and 7 in New York City. Summit sessions will spotlight "What It Takes" to get a student ready to succeed in college, career, and beyond. Secretary Duncan will participate in several sessions.

21/03/2014 - The European Commission has proposed an integrated EU approach to stop profits from trading minerals being used to fund armed conflicts. The package of measures aims to make it more difficult for armed groups in conflict-affected and high-risk areas to finance their activities through the mining of and trade in minerals. The focus of the approach is to make it easier for companies to source tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold responsibly and to encourage legitimate trading channels.
The legislative component of the initiative proposes a voluntary self-certification system for EU importers of tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold to exercise 'due diligence' by monitoring and administering their purchases and sales in line with the five steps of the OECD's Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas.
Professor Roel Nieuwenkamp, Chair of the OECD Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct, welcomed the new EU initiative, and noted that he looks forward to the on-going legislative process on the draft regulation, bearing in mind the different views of stakeholders. "The European Commission's use of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance as the standard for responsible mineral sourcing is vital to maintain clarity for business and contribute to a level playing field" he said. "The accompanying measures in the Commission's communiqué also offer a good basis to promote responsible sourcing of minerals, avoid unintended consequences, and encourage private sector investment and trade in all areas of conflict and high-risk."
For further information, please contact Professor Roel Nieuwenkamp, Chair of the OECD Working Party on Responsible Business Conduct (email@example.com).

Failing Fate: My Knight in his Shining Tow Truck
"Hey, um...do you need help?! I mean, uh...what happened?!" Some guy was yelling at me from the passenger side window in his white, sporty SUV, literally seconds after my car decided to putt, putt, die just a few tire turns away from hitting the intersection of Golf and Waukegan.
"I, uh...I think I'm okay! My car just died, and I just..." I look down at my phone, frantic. Ah, yes! Still battery life! "...I just was about to call my grandpa for help!"
"Okay! So...I mean do you need any help or you've got it from here?! Do you need me to help you?! I don't have any jumper cables, but..."
"Yeah, no, thanks though! I think it's actually dead! I just got a new battery and..."
"But someone's coming you said?!"
"Yeah, my grandpa! I'm about to call him!"
"Okay! Well good luck then!" The guy and that white SUV looked so peaceful as it whooshed past and joined once again the stampede of cars vroom-vroom-vrooming past, ignoring my dilemma. I would probably ignore my dilemma too, considering it's dinner-time and the lion that is my stomach is now growling a dull moan.
I call my grandpa; "Hey grandpa. I um, hah, I'm near the intersection of Golf and Waukegan, and you'll never believe...my car is completely dead." Capoot. Done for. I've run it into the ground. What a way to start the summer.
"Oh my goodness! Well, I'll leave the house right now and I'll be there in about 15-20mins! You aren't actually in the intersection are you?"
"I'm about three seconds away from being in the intersection."
"I'm on my way!"
My toungue is now officially numb (a personal side-effect of anxiety and frustration). I call Firestone. Their towing partners are on the way, "...be there in about 15-20 minutes..."
These cars keep swervin' around me, doing their dance of get-out-of-the-way-of-the-car-thats-not-moving. I got a few who even decided to add their own spice to the mix and honk their horn at me super loudly because that helps a lot and give me the dirty-eyebrows-evil-eye-glare for placing the death of my car on their road of choice for the evening. Gosh, I tell ya'...
And so I wait. I've got my hazard lights on and I've got the window rolled down. Just in case there is carbon monoxide leaking through the vents or something...My eyes stare at the blinking arrows. I feel my mouth form a frown. I glance up at the sky, and notice the clouds are a greyish-white color, and are in the shape up waves upside down, clothlike whisps of water droplets. Possible parallel universe? Upsidedown ocean? Mumford and Sons. Quite poetic. I wonder what Sylvia Plath would think of this moment...
BLAAAAARRRRRING HOOONNNNNKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK *grrrrowwwlllll* yes, I understand your anger at me. I am inconveniencing you and...oh, my! I look in my rearview mirror to find a long line of cars. sitting. behind me.
I look at the clock. Only five minutes have passed. I turn my keys and try to start the car again out of desperation. My whole mouth is numb by now. Possibly from the guilt I feel, though at this point I am quietly laughing to myself. This would happen the day after finals. I put the car in park, and continue for the next five minutes to play with the ignition.
Some guy stops his car in front of mine and puts his hazards on right as a cop shows up to inform me that I am blocking traffic (a comment I am just dying to make some smart-allec remark about but bite my tounge in knowing he has a taser).
In all seriousness, "Yes, sir, I know. I'm sorry. But my car is dead and I can't move it. The towing company should be here any minute to move it out of the way..."
And just then, out in the distance, traveling North on Waukegan, I can see my savior's carriage! "That's him! That's him! That's the tow truck!" The cop looked at the truck where my eyes lit up and nodded. "Are you sure that's him?" "Yes! I'm pretty certain!"
My grandpa and cousin pull up right behind me, blinking their hazard lights. The cop grudgingly got back into his police-car where he then parked behind my grandpa's car.
As I turn my head south, my hair whips around in the gust of wind that just whirrled past. I look up and see the tow truck make it's way in front of my car. Hallelujah!
And then, it happened. He happened. This sexy, 20-something, maybe 19-something, jumped from the drivers side of the truck. About six feet tall, with eyes like cocoa beans, and skin like coffee: two cream, two sugar; stirred slowly to dissolve the sweetness in the steaming liquid caffine.
I'm awake now. Damn.
My mouth must have been hanging open or I must have been staring longer than I was aware, because when I turned my head to the sound of chuckles, my relatives in the yellow Aveo sitting behind me were laughing. My awkward-self quickly realized I was standing on a very busy street with lots of fast moving enginges.
I stumbled my way over to my rescuer, quite aware that I had hands and a purse and arms and was not quite sure what to do with them other than "cooly" sway them back and forth. I think I nearly muttered, "Do you need any help?", in my attempts to seem casual and coy.
WOOSH! WOOSH! WOOSH! Yep, casual. And super coy.
He turned to look at me and said, "I need your keys." And I swear, when I handed them over to those rugged work gloves, I felt an electrical spark, like lightnining!
"So, whuh...so, what should I...I mean, where should I go?" Mumbling fool. I'm so clever with words.
"You can either ride back with me or your family, either way..."
"Oh, okay, cool. Either way." I smiled.
To seem cool and careless (in a time of a bitsy predicament), I decided to prance my way over to the Aveo, and get into the car with my grandpa and cousin. Guys like it when girls play hard to get...oh my gosh look at him work...I wonder if I should go back to sit with him in the car...but then grandpa would wonder what I'm doing...why can't I just make up my mind...Look at him towing my car...Maybe I could get away with just getting into the front seat right now...
I start to open the door, and slowly place my left foot on the asphalt. "What're doin' there, kiddo? You going somewhere?" My grandpa laughs. "Oh, no. I was just, thinking..." I close the door, and watch the Focus make it's way onto the Tow Truck. We begin to drive to Firestone, and on the way we poke fun at the situation, my grandpa saying, "Isn't this exciting?!" I quite appreciate their optimism, despite my growing nervousness that I lost the chance to meet the love of my life.
We get out of the car and the guy wuickly gives me back the keys to my car, R.I.P. I say thanks, but cannot look him in the face. I'm too shy, too upset that I blew my chance. "Good luck with your car." "Thank you." "Have a good night." He tells me, and I say the same. Then he says it back again. Then I say goodbye. And he tells me, goodbye.
I say, "Goodbye." Then, I sign for the diagnostic test.
The classic story of a damsel in distress being rescued by a knight in shining armor didn't translate so well in modern times. On my way back home, I felt the weight of regret for my decision to not ride with the mysterious man (who would have probably ended up being my future husband had I found the ability to make my way into his truck, just saying). I didn't even catch his name. I feel like when we parted ways at Firestone, we told eachother longingly, "Have a good life..."
What I do know is this: fairy-tales don't happen unless you take a magical moment and allow yourself to turn it into a storybook happily-ever-after. Which is slightly difficult to do when you suffer from a case of thinks-too-much-but-not-in-the-good-way syndrome.
I was given the opportunity to meet my future husband, and start a magical, fateful romance. I didn't take it. I missed my chance for love and am forever going to remember this day, and wonder what could have been.
As for my car, I need a new alternator. Firestone estimated about $650.00 in total charges, which my cousin said is an outrageous price.
Me being the poor-college-student I am, I need to save money where I can. I'll probably call to have it towed to another place.

Rachel DeVestern, Staff Nurse, NP 11
Rachel DeVestern, staff nurse for the inpatient unit on the 11th floor of Smilow Cancer Hospital, pursued a nursing career in oncology in part because both her grandmother and father were diagnosed with cancer. Seeing what they both went through, she developed a strong desire to help others going through similar experiences. The patient population that Rachel cares for have hematologic malignancies such as leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma, and are receiving bone marrow transplants or chemotherapy in order to prepare for a transplant; which is the end goal for most of these patients.
A lot of what Rachel does on a daily basis includes administering stem cells and chemotherapy to patients, as well as managing the side effects of treatment. This entails administering large amounts of blood products and antibiotics. Equally important is the education of patients and families. Rachel recognizes the importance of patient and family centered care and spends time talking with patients and their families about what to expect and self-care measures.
"Mostly families want to know what more they can do to help their loved one. If they are towards end-of-life they want to know what to expect and how they can comfort the patient," Rachel said. "I draw from my own experiences and try to reassure them as much as possible. Thankfully my father is now cancer free, but my grandmother passed away just before I graduated from nursing school."
Recently Rachel received the Virginia Henderson Award, which honors individuals that have made outstanding contributions to nursing in the areas of practice, education, administration, political action, and service. The award stems from a case where Rachel was able to help one family navigate the process of end-of-life care when faced with differing cultural beliefs.
"The experience that all of the nurses on the 11th floor have is amazing. I was so lucky to end up here right out of nursing school. Their mentoring and dedication to their patients has helped me to not only thrive in this field, but to love it," Rachel said.
Rachel's Patient Service Manager, Jill Williams, commented, "I am very proud of Rachel for receiving the Virginia Henderson Award and the care that she gives. The department of nursing has used Virginia Henderson's model of nursing for our practice model. It is a true honor for Rachel to be recognized for her excellent care of our patients."

Great Smoky Mountain National Park
The fact invariably stated about Great Smoky is this: It is the nation's busiest park, drawing more than nine million visitors a year, twice the number of any other national park. Most of the millions see the park from a mountain-skimming scenic highway that, on a typical weekend day during the summer, draws 60,000 people, bumper-to-bumper. Luckily, there is plenty of park, thinly laced by 384 miles of mountain roads. You can pull off the road, park the car, and stroll one of Great Smoky's many Quiet Walkways, quarter-mile paths into what the signs call a "little bit of the world as it once was." Eight hundred miles of hiking trails, from a half-mile to 70 miles long, also give you that world. Relatively few visitors walk the trails; most prefer to stay in their cars.
The park, established on 15 June 1934, covers 800 square miles (521,896 acres) of mountainous terrain across North Carolina and Tennessee, preserves the world's best examples of deciduous forest and a matchless variety of plants and animals. Because it contains so many types of eastern forest vegetation—much of it old growth—the park has been designated an international biosphere reserve. The Smoky Mountains are among the oldest on Earth. Ice Age glaciers stopped their southward journey just short of these mountains, which became a junction of southern and northern flora. Rhododendron and mountain laurel thrust from the weathered rocks. Amid the woodland and craggy peaks bloom more than 1,600 species of flowering plants, some found only here. Shrubs take over in places, creating tree-free zones called heath balds, laurel slicks (because of the shiny leaves), or just plain hells (because they are so hard to get through).
The tangle of brush and trees forms a close-packed array of air-breathing leaves. The water and hydrocarbons exuded by the leaves produce the filmy "smoke" that gives the mountains their name. Air pollution in recent years has added microscopic sulfate particles to the haze, cutting visibility back about 60 per cent since the 1950s. The pollution has also affected the park's red spruce stand—the southern Appalachians' largest. And insects are destroying the Fraser fir, the spruce's high-altitude companion.
The park also preserves the humble churches, cabins, farmhouses, and barns of the mountain people who began settling here in the late 1700s. Most people left when the park was founded, but some chose to stay and live out their lives here. The park was designated an International Biosphere Reserve in 1976 and a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983. Many people who live in the Eastern third of the U.S. can reach the park in a day. The Great Smoky Mountains are home to over 100 native species of trees, more than are found in northern Europe. At 480 feet, Fontana Dam, on the southwestern boundary of the park, is the tallest concrete dam east of the Rocky Mountains. Credit: National Geographic Society.

Wow, it definitely goes to show u that u can't please everyone. The Cab Ids bar is very streamlined and clutterfree. It is anything but a mess. Some people just want to complain for complains sake. Ok now where do I start?.......dyyylan wrote:if they did away with the spring, chicken loop, and quick release(s) it wouldn't be too bad of a setup. It's a very safe and functional system it's just all kind of a mess
Lets start with the spring was very much welcomed when introduced in 2011. Going back to the 2010 bar which did not have it, made one instantly realize how ingenious this new feature was. A rider could now always have the bar within reach when letting go the bar, spin the bar quickly to unspin lines and always able to instantly sheet out for safety reasons. There also was no risk of having a fixed stopper, which can be very dangerous, just let go the bar and the kite would depower to the needed safe level.
The 2012 chicken loop was again very much welcomed over prior years. The new loop is much more of rigid structure, so doesn't stretch much when under load. Unhooking and hooking back in is now effortless. The donkey stick is central and flops down when unhooking, which means the chickenloop can be hooked back in without the donkey stick getting in the way. An awesome subtle feature for riders which want to do hooked and unhooked riding, but dont want to permanenty remove the donkey stick. Saying that, Cab thinks of everyone, and the donkey stick, can be easily removed.
There is now no more velcro quick release like the old QR2 seen on the 2009 -2011 chicken loops. The new QR2 release was exactly what was needed, ie a streamlined QR, directly infront of the rider, which would instantly release the kite from the rider, effortlessly, and instantly.
The below the bar leash, which now swivels is there for those who unhook or for those who unintentional unhooked. The swivel part is for those that unhook and don't want the chicken loop to spin when they may for one reason unwrap their leash.
The 2012 QR1 was a change made for the better, despite the added 5 to 10 seconds it now takes to reattach. I have to admit, that if u were not shown how to reattach the 2012 QR1, then u might be there for a little while getting frustrated. However once shown and learnt, reattaching is easy enough, but for sure not as easy as prior years. My guess is that Cabrinha will have this reattaching process, designed so easy in the upcoming years that even a cave man could do it. .
Another awesome feature with the 2012 bar/chicken loop is that the rider can now untwist their center lines instantly on demand while riding by manually turning the QR1. Prior years 2009 to 2011 Ids bars did not have this cool feature, which meant riders had to untwist the center lines when riding by rotating in the air in the opposite direction to the twist or looping the kite. Persons who could only front roll or back roll in one direction were stuck with twisted center lines.
Hopefully this helps clarify why Cabrinha bars just get better and better not only for safety reasons but for simplicity and performance. A more thorough explanation I felt was needed from someone who actually uses the cabrinha gear.

HASBROUCK HEIGHTS, N.J., Jan. 22, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (Nasdaq:NYMX) is pleased to announce new positive Phase 3 safety and efficacy data for the Company's U.S. study NX02-0020. The NX02-0020 study is a prospective clinical safety evaluation of re-injection of the Company's NX-1207 drug for prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH). Study participants consisted of 192 consecutively treated men who had previously participated in the completed NX02-0014 and NX02-0016 Phase 2 trials or in the ongoing NX02-0017 and NX02-0018 trials and who wished an open label injection of NX-1207. The mean duration from the initial injection to the final assessment was 26 months. Improvement in the American Urological Association BPH Symptom Index Score was assessed over this greater than 2 years period, and the mean overall improvement in the 192 treated men was 7.6 points (p <.001). Further analyses will be conducted upon the unblinding of NX02-0017 and NX02-0018 trials. "This degree of long-term improvement is unprecedented in this condition considering that it is a simple, painless and safe injection with no sexual side effects, and that it has been demonstrated in a large series of treated patients," said Paul Averback MD, CEO of Nymox. The study has completed its six month primary endpoint of the safety evaluation of NX-1207 re-injection with a positive safety assessment. No significant adverse events related to the drug occurred. NX-1207 treatment for BPH was not associated with the sexual, cardiovascular, or other side effects associated with approved BPH medications. The Company will present more detailed scientific data from the new study at upcoming medical conferences. Nymox has other trials for NX-1207 in progress, including larger pivotal safety and efficacy studies, and a study of NX-1207 in low risk localized prostate cancer. BPH causes progressive difficulties with urination, such as nocturia, urge to void frequently, acute urinary retention and other problems. The condition can seriously impact the health and quality of life of middle aged and older men. It is estimated that 50% of men in their 50s have pathological signs of prostatic hyperplasia and a high proportion of men as they age suffer from moderate to severe urinary problems and symptoms associated with BPH.

1 killed, 3 hurt in IED attack
The U.S. Army said a 20-year-old paratrooper with the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division was killed and three others were wounded in an improvised exposive device attack on their Mine-Resistant Ambush-Protected vehicle on June 9 in the city of Tore Obeh, Afghanistan.
According to the Army, the dead soldier — Pfc. Nathan Tyler Davis, of Yucaipa, Calif. — was the driver of the vehicle. Davis joined the Army in Sept. 2010 and graduated from basic training in Fort Benning, Ga., before arriving in Alaska in February 2011. He was on his first deployment.
Davis' next of kin have been notified. He is the sixth member of the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson-based "Spartan" brigade to die in combat since the 3,500-member brigade deployed in late 2011.

Hi All,
I'm Tali, the GM for two RPGs at this upcoming Ubercon 2010. I wanted to open this thread to better communicate with potential players. This is to hopefully improve the gaming experience for everyone, learn more about what all RPG players coming this year are looking for as a game experience both in my and other games in the RPG track, and let out some of the ideas I'm excited about for my two sessions. I'm looking to make a win-win here.
In later posts I'll expand on each of my two modules and gladly interact with those interested. Foremost on my mind I want to point out certain details about each game, right now.
Serenity: The Truth Is Out There- The pregens will not be the heroes of the fantastic Firefly TV series or the Serenity Movie. They're great entertainment and if you haven't tried them, at least, well, you should. A scifi western. My game is set somewhere after the time of the movie but we will attempt to avoid spoilers if anyone asks (such as Jayne's pregnancy). There will be a little touch of comedy, scifi, and horror, and the game will be more teamwork oriented, with character foliables.
No Deposit, No Return- This may or may not use the Feng Shui ruleset. I'm traditionally a rules/mechanic junkie(a "crunchy" player), but this game idea I have is far too flexible, and demands more individual character-driven concepts. There will be less solid teamwork, and more free-flowing game design at heart. My goal is to bring an exciting backdrop for the characters to be thrown into, with big goals, impressive abilities, and unique challenges and twists for everybody. This means this game asks more than just rolling dice and checking your character sheet. You may not even have character sheets. What we'll have is fun. My inspirations are closer to the ~sci-fi dramas of recent years. A tiny bit of Lost, X-Files, Heroes, BSG, Fast Forward, etc, all wrapped around a core as action-packed in the 'real' world as 24, any cop or spy drama.
Does any of this excite/horrify you? I welcome opinions.

• Culture Wars, Interfaith Dialogue, Public Square
Faith-Based Advisers: We Found 'Meaningful Common Ground'
WASHINGTON – We have different opinions, admitted the White House's faith-based advisers on Tuesday when they presented their recommendations. But we were able to find "meaningful common ground," they added.
After a year of work, the 25 members of the first Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships presented a report that included more than 60 recommendations for six issues - economic recovery and domestic poverty, fatherhood and healthy families, environment and climate change, inter-religious cooperation, global poverty and development, and reform of the Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The proposals provide suggestions on how the government can better work with faith-based and community groups to tackle major social issues.
"We are a diverse group," stated Melissa Rogers, chair of the council, at the onset of the event for the report's release. "We differ on matters of faith. We differ in our political perspectives and our philosophical approach. We differ in matter of theology even within our particular faith traditions."
Yet despite their diverse and strong opinions, she said, the advisers "really listened" to one another and found "meaningful common ground" that went beyond the "lowest common denominator."
Rogers' sentiments were echoed by Pastor Joel C. Hunter, an adviser on the taskforce for inter-religious cooperation.
Hunter, who sits on the board of directors for the World Evangelical Alliance and the National Association of Evangelicals, told The Christian Post frankly that he is not usually attracted to such interfaith dialogues.
"I'm a conservative evangelical," Hunter stated matter-of-factly. "I kind of always shied away from general ecumenical, let's-all-just-be-nice-to-one-another, kumbaya stuff. Well, that's not this. This is [about] 'How do we maintain our distinctions, make them even more clear, but at the same time cooperate in a way that makes the world safer?'"
The Florida megachurch pastor said these types of conversations are essential to national security because they marginalize the violent extremists among the people of America and give people who want to be fully engaged in their faith an alternative.
Throughout the event, high-level members of the Obama administration joined the panel for the presentation related to their department. The officials listened to the report and then gave feedback on recommendations and how they plan to use the report.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius joined for the report on the economic recovery and domestic poverty recommendations. In her response, she shared about how schools serve as feeding sites for needy children during the school year. But a current problem the country is facing is how to provide meals for the children during the summer. Sebelius said she would like to work with churches and other community organizations to make sure children have somewhere they can receive meals during the summer.
"It (the report of recommendations) won't just be a document on a shelf," said Sebelius. "I promise you this document will become an active action plan in the Department of Health and Human Services."
Though the report, in general, has escaped any big controversy, there have been questions on why the council did not address the hot-button issue of abortion reduction, which President Obama last year said he would like the advisers to work on.
Joshua DuBois, the director of the office, said the council members have been involved in conversations about abortion reduction but did not create a task force for the issue because the president would like to extend the discussion to include the Domestic Policy Council.
Still, pro-life groups such as Focus on the Family say they are disappointed that the council did not present a plan to reduce abortions.
"The president said he wanted to reduce the need for abortions," said Ashley Horne, federal issues analyst with Focus on the Family Action. "So, that topic would have been a natural fit for this group."
"It's one more strike against a president who, so far, has catered only to the pro-abortion agenda."
Besides the abortion issue, the report has also been criticized for not including religious language. Council member Dr. Frank Page, former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, said he appreciated the work of the advisers but he wished the report expressed the motivation behind why faith leaders care about the issues.
Nevertheless, DuBois said that he is proud of the work the office and its first advisory council has done in the first year. The office under President Obama went directly to faith leaders and community leaders, through the council, and sought their advice on how best to partner, he said.
"The previous initiative largely had a dollar-and-cents vision of their office which caused a lot of controversy," DuBois said to The Christian Post. "We're seeking to communicate that when we partner with faith-based groups, it doesn't have to be about finance. It could be about sharing information with them, about building their capacity, serving as a convener, and we think that will slowly but surely help turn this initiative around."
The new faith-based advisory council will be installed sometime this spring or summer. Advisers serve one-year terms.
Some of the recommendations made by the council include:
- Utilization of the knowledge, expertise, and on-the-ground experience of local faith- and community-based organizations to redefine the federal poverty guideline so that it more accurately measures and responds to the needs of low-income people
- Support of faith-and community-based partnerships as a means to fill the gaps in providing essential services like transportation, housing, food assistance, job training, education, and healthcare for low-income families and individuals
- Hosting of an annual Father's Day Celebration at the White House to honor exemplary fathers and to highlight advances in father involvement resulting from the government's interdepartmental working groups and the strategic partnerships formed at the quarterly roundtables
- Formation of an Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships at the Environmental Protection Agency and assignment of faith- and community-based liaisons to EPA regional offices
- More partnerships with interreligious councils and women of faith networks to advance peace building and development
- Placement of Faith-Based and Civil Society Engagement Officers in USAID missions
- Reduction of barriers to obtaining 501(c)(3) recognition

HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) – Chad Campbell used a fast start, and Vaughn Taylor and Colt Knost had strong finishes to share the first-round lead at 4-under 67 in the RBC Heritage on Thursday.
Campbell birdied four of his first seven holes, Knost birdied three of his last five, and Taylor holed out from the fairway for a closing eagle on the par-4 ninth hole at Harbour Town Golf Links.
Jim Furyk, the 2010 winner, was a stroke back along with Harris English, Charlie Wi and Matt Every. Forty-two players, including John Daly in just his second PGA Tour event this year, were at even par or better.
Masters winner Bubba Watson took the week off as did most players ranked in the world's top 20. No. 1 Luke Donald, who has been second, third and second here the past three years, opened with a 75. He has to finish in the top eight or surrender to the top spot to No. 2 Rory McIlroy next week.
Matt Kuchar was tied for the lead at Augusta National with three holes left before finishing two shots out of the playoff between Watson and Louis Oosthuizen, Kuchar hoped to continue his strong play at Harbour Town, but ended in a large group at 1-over 72.
Campbell held a first-round lead for the first time since the 2009 Masters. His game has faded some since then – he recorded just one top 10 at the British Open last year, his fewest since coming out on tour in 2002 – and has missed five cuts in nine tournaments this year.
"I haven't felt like I've been that far off,'' Campbell said. "But the results haven't been good at all.''
Campbell got it going quickly at Harbour Town with an 8-foot birdie putt on No. 2 and then consecutive birdies on the fourth and fifth holes. He moved to 4 under two holes later, rolling in a 20-footer for birdie.
Campbell added a final birdie on the 15th.
Campbell said the wind reminded him of his days playing golf in West Texas. "Other than the trees and the ocean,'' he joked.
Taylor caught Campbell with his stunning shot from 103 yards out on his final hole, the ninth. Taylor, a native of Augusta, Ga., also has struggled and teed off at the RBC Heritage on a sponsor's exemption. He fell back to even par with a double bogey on the 16th hole before heating up on his last nine. He made birdies on the second, fourth and seventh holes before stunning the gallery – and himself – with his on-target sand wedge.
"I hit a smooth one,'' Taylor said. "Came off right, right at it, and fortunate enough to go in.''
Knost joined the leaders with a late charge of his own, collecting birdies on the 14th, 16th and 18th holes. Knost thinks this might be just the thing to jump start a sluggish year – his lone top 20 was a third place at the Mayakoba Classic in February.
"It's just my kind of course,'' Knost said. "You have to hit it fairly straight. Distance isn't that big a deal. The greens are real small, just give yourself a lot of chances.''
That's the way Furyk played Harbour Town, too. His problem? Starting in the chily, windy conditions not usually seen during most Aprils in South Carolina.
He played straight and steady throughout, building on a tie for 11th last week at Augusta National. "I'm happy to get in with the score I did,'' he said.
Donald has 11 straight rounds under par at Harbour Town before chopping it around Thursday. The Englishman made just one birdie and was well below Friday's projected cut line.
Still, it was hard not to notice the pleased faces of competitors, organizers and fans with the rechristened tournament. It's the first year for title-sponsor RBC and presenting-sponsor Boeing after the tournament went without a backer in 2011 and was in danger of disappearing.
Divots: Two-time major winner Daly, a former Arkansas player, was saddened and shocked by the dismissal of friend Bobby Petrino as Razorbacks football coach. Daly thinks the team must hire an NFL-type coach "like a (Jon) Gruden, like a (Bill) Cowher, like a (Barry) Switzer'' to keep moving forward. … Bo Van Pelt will appear at a Boys and Girls Club on Friday as a thank you to RBC for sponsoring the tournament. … This the first RBC Heritage without Davis Love III since 1985. Love withdrew this week with a cracked rib. … 2001 RBC Heritage runner-up Billy Mayfair had a hole-in-one, htting a 5-iron shot on the 195-yard seventh hole. He shot a 72. … Sang-Moon Bae withdrew after an opening 83.

"Design for Impact" reads the tagline for the 2012 Clinton Global Initiative. Bill Clinton defined the phrase in the broadest terms possible while delivering the opening remarks for the three-day event on Sunday morning by stressing the need for greater cooperation to take on the greatest development challenges.
The former US president was joined on stage by Queen Rania of Jordan, World Bank President Jim Kim, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and the odd man out Walmart CEO Michael Duke. Clinton was kind enough to include Duke at the beginning and the end of the conversation. The opening was an opportunity for Duke to promote the sustainability efforts of Walmart. The other panel members took over the rest of the discussion, but Duke was brought back into the fray when Clinton asked him whether Walmart would be willing to try to open stores in Tripoli if invited.
The Walmart chief gave a diplomatic and long response that amounted to a yes without every explicitly saying that Walmart would welcome the invitation. While Duke served as a bit of a side show, the main event was the inclusion of Kim and Ki-moon.
Clinton awkwardly joked, as he arrived to the two of them, "That brings me to what I affectionately call the 'Korean Block,'" noting that the two were speaking Korean to each other backstage. Following some laughs of disbelief from the audience, Clinton dug in to learn how the two saw their roles in realizing development.
Kim made interesting remarks that seemed to indicate the direction that he hopes to lead the World Bank. He explained that the World Bank has long been seen as a 'knowledge bank' and signaled that he hoped for it to become a solutions bank. The same phrase was repeated at least twice during the session by Kim, though he did not explain how he saw the shift taking place.
One hint was the issue of scale. "Designing for impact means taking seriously the problem of scale," said Kim. Clinton earlier discussed the issue of scale in his opening remarks and an interview proceeding the panel with Tim Brown of IDEO also focused on the idea of scaling ideas through design, innovation and the private sector.
Ban Ki-moon, always looking and sounding cheerful as he delivers what at times is troubling information, bounced about between ideas. He called for a clear development agenda in a bit wink to the panel who will soon meet to determine the post-2015 agenda while making it clear that it had to be done through partnerships. There was a mention about keeping an eye on the sustainable development prize and an allusion to the hard lessons learned from the Rwandan genocide.
The meat of the conversation turned to jobs and education. Clinton remarked, "We are good at acting we know how to do it, but we are not good at creating education and employment." Queen Rania hit onto all of the major talking points about the importance of education without a hint of irony considering that she is in the unique position to deliver major education reform in her home of Jordan. She pushed further saying that education was behind the times. "We are teaching yesterday's skills," she said and added, "The gap between out education outputs and the market needs is getting wider."
All the panel members agreed with the needs for education reforms and on the issue of creating jobs. Kim offered some agreement with Clinton that the challenge is trying to figure out how to share and apply the lessons of development between countries. As the focus in the US election hones in on the issue of jobs, it is evident that jobs are a universal concern that some of the most important leaders in the world are not sure how to address.
