Musician, producer and "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson is serious about music – and his health.
Jackson, a well-known bass guitarist in musical circles, played with many musical legends, including jazz violinist Jean Luc Ponty and the pop-rock band Journey. As a producer, he helped create hits for Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.
And he worked equally as hard taking care of his health after doctors told him in 2003 that he had type 2 diabetes.
"When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my doctors told me that people with type 2 diabetes have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke," Jackson told The Philadelphia Business Journal. "This was all I needed to know to take my diabetes to heart. I made changes to my lifestyle and worked with my doctors to set goals for my blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol."
He also decided his celebrity could call attention to the disease and encourage others to pay more attention to their health as well.
So Jackson has teamed up with pharmaceutical company Merck and its "Take Diabetes to Heart" campaign, touring the country to share his experience with type 2 diabetes and educate others about its serious, related complications, including heart disease.
The Merck program also was designed to provide resources to help people start taking steps to improving their health.
African Americans are 1.4 times more likely to develop diabetes than non-Hispanic whites. In the 65-74 age group, the risk is two-fold.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) has launched an African American Initiative is focused on prevention and working with youth to make better food choices.
The program aims to help students make healthier choices and make the connection to staying healthier longer.
For instance, patients are given recommendations on alternative recipes for such dishes as collard greens and meats, so that they are not denying themselves traditional foods, but preparing them in healthier ways.
The ADA campaign also focuses on weight and weight-loss programs. For an overweight patient, losing as much as 10 to 20 percent of body mass can have a dramatic effect on the development and extent of diabetes.
In an interview with the National Institutes of Health newsletter, Jackson said he was aware of a family history of diabetes, but was still taken by surprise when he received the diagnosis in his mid-40s and never thought diabetes might be linked to his feeling tired and dehydrated at the time.
The news forced him to reevaluate his lifestyle.
"It was hard to change my eating habits because food for me is emotional—I often found comfort in eating food that happened to be unhealthy," Jackson said.
Jackson's doctor helped him develop a plan of diet and exercise and he underwent gastric bypass surgery in 2004 helped him to shed over 100 pounds, which he has managed to keep off.
"Today, I know that regular checkups with a doctor, healthy food choices, and an active lifestyle are extremely important for managing type 2 diabetes. There is no magic cure, and it's not always easy. But I believe everyone has the potential to take charge and manage the disease in his or her own way. I am living proof that type 2 diabetes can be managed. In fact, taking charge of my lifestyle and making a change to be healthier has made me a stronger, happier person."

Henry Peek – who transformed the cliff-top parish of Rousdon near Lyme Regis – was an unusual man. He held the record for exhibiting the heaviest bunch of bananas ever grown in the UK; it weighed 97lbs. He introduced school dinners, to improve children's health and their capacity for learning, 70 years before the Government passed the School Meals Act. His private menageries of animals included Indian buffaloes, ponies from Iceland, Chilean swans and piping crows from Australia. Three emus were imported through Axmouth harbour, though the coastguards objected to plans to populate the Undercliff with kangaroos.
Henry bought the 350 acre Rousdon estate in 1869 for £11,500. In today's money, that's probably just over a million quid. Rousdon then had three houses, lived in by 18 people, in fairly primitive conditions. A large treadmill was used to draw water up from a well. It was powered by a 12-year-old girl called Mary Anne Ostler, helped by a dog. The church – according to various accounts – was in a ruinous state, with worm-eaten pews, a tottering pulpit, broken windows repaired with oiled paper, damaged books and religious vestments in rags. Rousdon was regarded as being "miles away from the beaten track", in "wild and rough" country, only reachable through "almost continuous ascent": it's about 500ft above sea-level.
Farm labourers were poor and hungry. Nicky Campbell quotes a 10-ten-year-old Dorset boy who considered himself lucky, in the 1880s, if he had a raw turnip for his breakfast. She notes how, as late as 1913, villagers in Beer would take to eating swede-tops, snaring wild birds and cooking them in winter pies, and hanging skate-wings on blackthorn spikes outside their back doors (the fish would be cooked in margarine with lots of pepper to disguise the smell of decay). More than half the occupants of Axminster workhouse were children aged under 16.
So the news that Henry Peek had bought Rousdon caused great excitement in West Dorset, East Devon and parts of South Somerset. When Henry and his wife arrived in Lyme Regis (they stayed at The Three Cups), the church bells rang and the Volunteer Band turned out to play rousing music in front of the hotel. What's more, the excitement turned out to be justified – for quite a while anyway.
Nicky Campbell's new book To Buy A Whole Parish: Rousdon and the Peek Family is about what the Peek family did in the triangle of land between Axmouth/Seaton, Axminster and Lyme Regis between 1869 and 1937, when the estate was broken up and sold. The book details the lives of the enormously wealthy; the lives of "ordinary" people; and shows how these intertwined. It's full of memorable facts, and achieves the remarkable feat of changing one's whole sense of how West Dorset and East Devon used to fit together and work in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Most people (in my experience) think of Rousdon nowadays as a funny sort of place, of interest chiefly to estate agents. This book reveals why it deserves much wider attention.
Henry Peek spent £250,000 – at today's prices, that's probably around £27million – on building a mansion at Rousdon, and creating a model estate and village. Repeat: £27million. You can see why Lyme's Volunteer Band gathered to serenade him. Over the next few years, more than 200 builders and 70 donkeys were employed at Rousdon. The donkeys' job was to haul limestone up the cliffs from a quarry on the beach. Needless to say, they weren't any old donkeys, but extra-large animals specially imported from North Africa. Labourers included 10-year-old John Gosling from Colyton, who walked to work each day, five miles there and five miles back, starting from home at 5.30am. Frederick George Penny was a carpenter from Charmouth. "He walked to and from Charmouth, five miles away, each day and had to pass Charmouth church at 4.30am to get to work at 6, when the foreman blew the whistle. If he was late then there were no wages. He worked 5½ days a week, finishing at 12 on Saturdays." One of Mr Penny's jobs was to lay the parquet floor in the 60ft great hall, using horrid-smelling glue.
The great hall was lit by six windows, filled with stained glass illustrating local events, such as St Wilfrid teaching Lyme Regis men the art of fishing, and a battle near Axminster between Saxons and Danes. (It's possible that not all of the events portrayed actually took place). One single slab of marble over the fireplace weighed 11 tons. Marble used all round the estate was recovered at enormous cost from the SS Carrara, which sank in nearby Charton Bay, in 1864. The house was filled with the very finest and most expensive things, and what's probably best described nowadays as odd stuff. For example, ornaments in the hall included a large bronze equestrian statue from China, candlestick holders in the shape of cranes, three toads of diminishing sizes, 12 William IV leather fire buckets with painted armorial bearings, and four man traps. There were 40 bedrooms and eight bathrooms; separate cellars for wine, beer, wood and coal; a 100ft-long bowling alley for the entertainment of servants; a museum with nearly 800 stuffed birds (including specimens of almost every British species) plus a bizarre range of other items: for example, there were two Chinese papier-mache models, "which especially interested and excited the young, one portrayed in a very lifelike manner the 'Death by a thousand cuts' and the other was of flagellation of soles of the feet."
Outside were 134 acres of parkland. Again, it's possible here just to pick out a few details. There was a run of glasshouses 600ft long, in which peaches, nectarines and grapes did well, an artificial lake with islands, gardens designed for children with paths edged by stones and shells, a four-acre walled garden for which soil was imported as the natural soil was too chalky, a palm house, a summer house and extensive lawns. "The lawns were mowed by a cutter pulled by a pony. The grass had to be mowed twice, in different directions to prevent any mowing lines showing. The pony wore leather boots to stop hoof prints marring the end result."
Groups of builders used to visit Rousdon to learn about new methods and debate points of style (such as the wonderfully-named 'snail-creep' mortaring). One such outing lasted 15½ hours. The Exeter and Plymouth Gazette described another: "The farm buildings aroused the admiration of the master builders, on account of the excellence of the work, and it was interesting to hear them expiate upon the perfectness with which walls constructed of irregular shaped stones had been built and pointed."
It was an immense project. Peek complained about it all taking longer than he wanted, but he would also occasionally treat his crews to a surprise lunch (with, say, a roast pig and a barrel of cider) or a big dinner in Axmouth. At one such do, The Exeter and Plymouth Gazette spoke to a contented-looking brawny man: "I've worked now, man and boy, for more than forty years and I never had a master who treated [his workers] so kind, or who cared so much for 'em. He's a good sort and no mistake.
"An I'll tell 'ee what," pursued he, "no master loses by treating his men well: it gives 'em heart to work for him, and he gets better served."
The Peeks' fortunes stemmed from the efforts of Richard Peek, the son of a farm labourer from Loddiswell near Torquay, who – so the story goes – went to London "with three pence in his pocket, which was all he had to live on for three days until he got work in the warehouse of a tea establishment near the Monument, and here, governed by the influence of his mother's pious counsel, his honesty, industry and good manners led him from one step to another until he became as rich as he started poor."
Richard and his brother James (who had "a horror of beards" and for years never took a holiday) became leading merchants in tea, coffee and spices. Later, the family also diversified into biscuits and rubber. Henry was one of James' eight children. He worked in the family businesses and was eventually reckoned to earn more than a pound a minute. He was the first chairman of the Commercial Union Insurance Company and became a Conservative MP. "If anyone in the Commons deserved the title of 'Liberal Conservative' it was Sir Henry" (by this time, he'd been knighted too).
Nicky Campbell suggests that Sir Henry never forgot his family's humble beginnings in Devon and wanted to put something back. She quotes a local newspaper article which asked why he had spent quite so much on Rousdon: "His one idea was to purchase a whole parish and devote his wealth to improving the condition of the people in it without pauperising them, a principle which all true philanthropists work upon." Indeed, when Peek bought Rousdon he said: "I am going to give my labourers 15s. a week, and give them every opportunity of earning money and making themselves happy homes."
To the same improving end, Peek also built model schools, considered to be among the best in England. When they opened in 1876, Sir Henry said: "In the present day an uneducated person stood no chance whatever in the race of life, and therefore it was the duty of all those who had it in their power, to do something in the way of providing education for their less fortunate brethren." Children used to walk up to four miles to school at Rousdon, "and the piece of bread-and-butter which most brought with them for dinner was utterly insufficient for its purpose." The headteacher William Burgess suggested they would learn more eagerly if they were better fed, so Sir Henry had a school kitchen built and he provided a garden, so the boys could learn how to grow vegetables. Every child paid a penny per meal. About 90 dinners a day were cooked by the headteacher's wife, assisted by a rota of girls, "one of Sir Henry's objects being" – to quote a local newspaper report – "to train up the girls to be useful housewives when they get a home of their own." Remember: we are talking about Victorian times here. The same report describes how dinner is "brought in and served by the older girls, and whether it be treacle and suet pudding, boiled rice and jam, or the favourite dish of all, roly-poly and bacon, the slices disappear with marvellous rapidity. No-one is stinted as to quantity, and the bigger boys often dispose of five or six helpings with ease. When the meal is over and grace has been sung, they go back to their games while the big girls clear the table and wash up."
At Burton Bradstock, the master was known to whip children who came to school barefoot. At Rousdon, by contrast, a boot club was set up. The infants were paid a penny for every verse of poetry they learned; older children earned a penny for three verses. This was popular and effective. For example, four-year-old Flora Holt, a shepherd's daughter, repeated all 110 verses of Watts' Hymns without prompting and "quite surprised" the headteacher.
It would be interesting to know whether Henry Peek ever read many of the novels of Dickens, and was influenced by them, as he appears to be an extraordinary real-life example of the benevolent and wealthy gentleman who plays such a major role in salvaging the lives of unfortunates such as Oliver Twist and Nicholas Nickleby.
The book also includes a lot of valuable information about the lives of "ordinary" people across West Dorset and East Devon. There are some fine vignettes and pen-portraits. Albert England – always known as Alf – used to live at Undercliff Cottage: he was the "proud owner of a motorbike which he ingeniously used to power a saw to cut logs. His mother took in washing, made and sold treacle toffee at ½d a bag, and delivered telegrams that came to Rousdon Post Office." PC Small from Chardstock investigated the selling of beer without a licence. "Showing remarkable devotion to duty, PC Small got a job on the railway as a navvy and obtained lodgings at Hartgrove Cottage where he was often served a pint of beer with his breakfast…" There's also a very good 19-page selection of chatty letters from different schoolchildren: for example, "About a month ago we had such a lot of rain that the roads were flooded. William Austen was coming from Uplyme, and he got into a hole, and was up to his neck in water; but he managed to get out by himself." Six pages are also devoted to a list of some of the estate staff employed by the Peeks, with notes on what Nicky Campbell has discovered about them.
Even the minor Peeks had an impact across the area. Rousdon's first vicar was the Reverend Edward Peek, who "owned and lived in Poulet House, now the Alexandra Hotel, where he built the Peek Chapel in the converted stables." Edward also founded St Michael's College in Pyne House in Broad Street in Lyme Regis, for the education of sons of the clergy, and he built Coram Tower for college masters to live in. He also paid for the re-decoration of the inside of Lyme's Elizabethan Guildhall.
Henry's son Cuthbert (no-one is ever called Cuthbert anymore) was a keen scientist and maintained an important astronomical and meteorological observatory at Rousdon. He employed as Observer a popular, humorous man called Charles Grover, who was also a keen photographer, and was known locally as "The Star Man". Cuthbert was also a director of the Axminster to Lyme Regis Light Railway Company, which built the Cannington viaduct and made it possible to travel from Lyme to London on the train in 3 hours and 26 minutes. The Peeks used it every day in season to send fresh fish, fruit and flowers up to their London property.
After Cuthbert died of congestion of the brain, he was succeeded by Sir Wilfrid Peek, who bought Rousdon's neighbouring parish of Combpyne in 1909. Sir Wilfrid married an American called Edwine, the daughter of a millionaire paint manufacturer. Visiting Rousdon subsequently, "the bride was wearing a yellow dress, which the superstitious among the staff saw as a bad sign. Annie Gapper's mother was there and she said that 'no good will come of the marriage'."
After the First World War, the couple spent less and less time at Rousdon. They preferred to travel abroad and entertain in London. Edwine compared the climate of the Lyme Regis area unfavourably to that of the southern states of America.
Sir Wilfrid died in 1927 aged 43. People said his death was hastened by his wartime experiences, especially in Mesopotamia. In his will he forbade any Roman Catholic to inherit any of his bequests in the future. Mrs Campbell suggests that this was because his brother Grenville Peek, a Captain with the 9th Lancers, had been shot through the head in an IRA ambush in Ireland. Captain Peek had two small children, one boy just eight weeks old.
Wilfrid and Edwine's son Francis had no interest in Rousdon. Aged 22, he said: "Sell it." So it went in 1937 for just £29,750; that's about £1.8million in today's money. Remember, it originally cost the equivalent of around £27million. The mansion became Allhallows School, which moved from Honiton. The remaining estate workers and many of the tenants were forced to leave. Alf England, for example, went to a remote cottage in the Marshwood Vale where the well was contaminated with dead rats.
Nicky Campbell's book represents years and years of hard work and research and is exceptionally interesting. As she quotes someone saying of Charles Grover: "He was unique and things unique seem ever to find their way to Rousdon."
To Buy a Whole Parish: Rousdon and the Peek Family (£14.99), by Nicky Campbell, is published by Wheatears Books of Colyton. The main stockist is probably Serendip in Broad Street, Lyme Regis, who've been selling lots, including (apparently) a big boxful sent to America.
Many thanks to Nicky Campbell for permission to reproduce some of the fine collection of photographs that she's amassed.

Alter Wiener recalls horrors of Nazis, an act of kindness
Holocaust survivor shares his memories with Beaverton History Center
For most people, even comprehending the life of a Jewish Holocaust survivor is daunting. Listening to someone who has lived through it is at times incomprehensible.
But for nearly 850 audiences over the years, thats exactly what Alter Wiener has done.
For an hour on Oct. 8, Wiener held an audience packed into the Beaverton History Center spellbound with a riveting account of death, survival, atrocity, kindness and the will to live.
Not surprisingly, nearly 70 years after his harrowing ordeal, Wiener still finds it painful to talk about.
Its not easy emotionally, Wiener told the audience. I still see images when I talk about it.
Those images include the knowledge that he lost 123 members of his extended family in the Holocaust.
Celebrating his 87th birthday the day of his lecture, the Hillsoboro resident recalled the horrors of surviving five camps in Nazi Germany, living in inhumane conditions, and often having nothing more to eat each day than watered-downed soup and bread consisting mainly of sawdust.
His journey is chronicled in his book, 64735: From a Name to a Number A Holocaust Survivors Autobiography, published in 2007. It is the result of an American soldier who helped liberate Buchenwald concentration camp, begging him to write down his experiences so that no one would forget what happened to those who ended up in labor and extermination camps before it was too late.
Thats the only reason I wrote this, he told an audience of more than 130 people. I have no financial gain.
The book is ranked 89th out of 42 million listed on Amazon.
Over the years, Wiener said hes received 56,000 letters related to his book or from those who have attended his lectures.
And despite the accounts of historians or those who survived the concentration camps, Wiener still finds those who are ignorant about the annihilation of 6 million Jews during World War II.
There are people who are ignorant about the Holocaust, he said. There are people who believe it didnt happen.
So appalled was Wiener when he heard that Irans former president, Mahmoud Ahmadinjead, denied that the Holocaust ever happened, he forwarded him one of the monthly compensation checks he and other survivors receive from the German government along with a note: If there was no Holocaust, why do I get the check and not you?
Over the years, Wiener has discovered the power of his message, saying he once heard from a girl who had been contemplating suicide and changed her mind after hearing Wieners story, seeing that her problems werent as bad as what Wiener had gone through.
A knock on the door
A native of Poland, life for Wiener changed suddenly in 1939 when the Germans invaded his country. At the time, he was living with his two brothers, his father and stepmother, all of whom would eventually perish. The family fled, but Wieners father, a shop owner, had to stay.
When they returned, Wiener discovered his father was missing, and the familys apartment had been looted. They soon learned that 38 of the towns residents, including his father, had been gathered up and randomly shot by the Nazis, their bodies thrown into a mass burial pit. One victim survived and escaped to tell what had happened.
Three months later, Wieners stepmother, accompanied by 13-year-old Wiener, had to identify her husband after the Nazis agreed to open the burial pit.
Wiener recalled that he asked aloud why his father had died, never having discovered an answer.
I dont understand at the age of 87... why did they murder my father? he said.
In 1941, a knock on his door by German soldiers resulted in his older brother being taken away.
We have no idea what happened to him, Wiener said. Only during a reunion of Holocaust survivors in 1990 did a man approach Wiener and tell him that he knew his brother, Shmuel, well and had been one of the prisoners who pushed him into the gas chambers at Auschwitz.
Wiener said the Germans again burst into the familys apartment in 1942, having this time come for Wiener.
My stepmother pleaded with the Germans, he recalled, only getting a response that how dare she question their actions.
Given nothing to eat for days, he arrived at his first camp.
Upon arrival, I was beaten for no reason, Wiener recalled, saying that he found his brother at the camp, all but unrecognizable because of the harsh conditions he had endured.
Wiener ended up living in a small room with 28 other people who shared three bunks filled with straw and infested with lice.
Hungry all the time, Wiener said millions of prisoners died from starvation alone, and that the Nazis not only singled out Jews for death but also Jehovah Witnesses, homosexuals, gypsies and countless other groups.
What did I learn? Wiener asked. Every Jew was a victim, but not every victim was a Jew.
Starving at the camp, Wiener said a man offered him a loaf of bread in exchange for the watch the boy had managed to hang onto. Wiener gave it to him, but the man never produced the bread. When the camp commandant found out about it, he demanded that the person who traded his watch for bread step forward.
I did step forward, he said. They whipped me 15 strokes on my body.
After four months, he was sent to another camp where he recalled a punishment by a sadistic commandant who forced him to stand under a freezing cold shower all night for no particular reason.
Act of kindness
Over the years, Wiener said he has had numerous calls from those asking forgiveness for a relatives participation in the Holocaust. He said a German professor once called him and said he was sorry his father worked in one of the camps.
I told him he was not responsible for his father, Wiener recalled.
It wasnt until he reached his third work camp that he personally encountered an act of human kindness that would stick with him forever. During the day, he was forced to work in a textile mill that included German employees. Although the Germans were forbidden to have contact with the prisoners, a woman made eye contact with him, indicating for him to come over.
I found a sandwich of two slices of white bread with cheese, he said. Every day she left a sandwich for me.
That continued for 30 days before it abruptly stopped. To this day, he cannot comprehend what motivated her to risk her life to help keep him alive.
But shes my hero until the last day of my life, he said, noting that her kindness was a marked difference between the guard who once knocked out his teeth for talking. Both were from the same race one was wicked, the other righteous, he said.
After the war, armed only with a vivid memory of what the woman looked like and not her name, he tried to find the woman who had shown him kindness in that factory.
Unfortunately, after all my efforts after the war, I couldnt locate her, he said.
It was at his next camp where he once discovered a raw potato in the dirt and happily consumed it that he was stripped of all his possessions and given an identification number: 64735.
They never called me by my name again, he pointed out.
For Wiener, his long ordeal ended in May of 1945, when the Russian army marched in and liberated the camp. When the Russians saw the prisoners, they broke down and cried like babies, Wiener recalled.
Weighing only 80 pounds, Wiener was told by a doctor he would not survive.
A new country
Eventually, he made his way to New York City, where he got a job cleaning toilets, received what now would be considered a GED, attended college and became an accountant.
Wiener said its important that he share his message with others.
There are very few Holocaust survivors left, he said.
He noted at one point during his talk that he was once waiting in line at one of the killing centers.
I sniffed the offensive odor of burning flesh, he writes in his book. I felt downright scared. The thought of being so close to an imminent death sucked the life out of me. I consoled myself with the thought that if so many wonderful people were being murdered, what difference would my death make?
Then Wiener was suddenly plucked out of the line by a German entrepreneur who said he was strong enough to work until work killed him.
You never know, he told the audience. You never know. You can never lose hope.
After his lecture, Wiener received a standing ovation and a birthday cake.
Answers to life in the Nazi camps
After Alter Wieners lecture at the Beaverton History Center, the Holocaust survivor took questions from the audience and observations about his life in the Nazi camps. Here are some of them:
Why didnt he try to escape? Escape from any of the camps he was in was impossible. In all those five camps, no one tried to escape, he said, pointing out that other prisoners would suffer if someone tried to escape.
He doesnt like to use the word killed when talking about the Holocaust. This was systematic, planned murder.
His years in the work camps still haunt him. I would like to not have nightmares. They are there.
Does he feel guilty for having survived? I dont have a guilt feeling. I appreciate every day Im alive.
Since the book came out in 2007, hes talked with an estimated 150,000 people, reaching 842 audiences.

Eek, a mouse! On the grounds of the Aspen Music Festival, a team from National Geographic Channel's "Diggers" on Sept. 20 unearthed a time capsule containing the mouse from Steve Jobs' first mass-marketed Lisa computer. The episode will air in early 2014. The time capsule will be turned over to the Aspen Historical Society.
They did it using "original survey coordinates and good old-fashioned math." And digging.
The full release from National Geographic:
A time capsule containing the mouse from Steve Jobs' first mass-marketed Lisa computer was uncovered today on the grounds of the Aspen Music Festival in Aspen, Colo. The finding was made by the National Geographic Channel's Diggers team for an episode of the series that will air early 2014. Buried in 1983 during the now-defunct International Design Conference in Aspen (IDCA), the tube was intended to be unearthed in 2000, but due to changes in the landscape, its exact location was unknown — until now.
Working closely with the Aspen Music Festival and School and Harry Teague, one of the original members of the design team that buried the capsule, the Diggers team was able to narrow down the time capsule's location using original survey coordinates and good old-fashioned math. The capsule was carefully excavated under the supervision of Diggers archaeologist Michael Durkin, and the contents of the capsule will be cataloged and evaluated before being turned over to the Aspen Historical Society.
"When we buried the capsule in 1983 at the IDCA conference titled 'The Future Is Not What It Used to Be,' it was scheduled to be unearthed in twenty years. We had no idea it would be thirty before we would finally get around to digging it up," said Harry Teague. "I'm sure it's loaded with things of cultural and historic import, but the mouse from one of his new Apple Lisa computers that Steve Jobs threw in at the last minute has to be one of the more iconic items."
In addition to the Lisa mouse, the contents of the 13-foot-long capsule include a mix of early '80s relics: an eight-track recording of The Moody Blues, a Sears Roebuck catalog, a June 1983 copy of Vogue Magazine, a Rubik's Cube and a six-pack of beer. The time capsule was related to the theme of the conference, "The Future Is Not What It Used to Be." At the conference, before donating the mouse, Jobs addressed the crowd in a speech that many believe predicted some of Apple's great innovations to come, including the iPad, wireless networking and even the Apple App Store.

Carrasco an option, but fifth starter undecided
CINCINNATI -- Carlos Carrasco has found a home in the Indians' bullpen as an effective long reliever, but the club has never entirely closed the door on the pitcher's potential future as a starter. Carrasco remains willing to do whatever Cleveland asks of him.
"We lost one guy in Justin Masterson," said Carrasco, referring to the July 30 trade that sent the Tribe's Opening Day starter to the Cardinals. "We've got other guys, but if they need me, I'm going to do my job."
Now, the Indians are short another starting pitcher.
Prior to Wednesday's game against the Reds, Indians manager Terry Francona announced that struggling right-hander Josh Tomlin has been removed from the rotation and placed in the bullpen. Tomlin lasted only 4 1/3 innings in Tuesday's 9-2 loss to Cincinnati before Carrasco entered in relief and gave the Tribe four frames.
The Indians need a starter for Sunday's road game against the Yankees and -- with off-days coming up on Monday and Aug. 14 -- Carrasco is a realistic option to take the ball. Francona would only go as far as saying that the right-hander was indeed on the list of possibilities.
"Once we got into that game [Tuesday] night," Francona said, "for multiple reasons, we wanted to stretch Carlos out as much as we could. One, it leaves doors open. The other one was it really kept our bullpen in check. That's something we need to talk about, and we will."
Francona said he would likely announce Sunday's probable starter on Thursday.
Carrasco, who logged 59 pitches on Tuesday, went 0-3 with a 6.95 ERA in four starts to open this season, prompting Cleveland to put him in the bullpen. Since the move, the righty has turned in a 2.30 ERA with a .217 opponents' average, 39 strikeouts and nine walks in 43 innings.
Tomlin -- sidelined for most of last season while returning from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow -- has gone 5-8 with a 4.75 ERA in 16 appearances for the Indians this season. Since his stellar one-hit shutout in Seattle on June 28, the right-hander has gone 0-3 wth a 7.09 ERA and a .967 opponents' OPS in five outings.
Last month, Indians general manager Chris Antonetti made it clear that the club still believes Carrasco has the makings of a solid starting pitcher.
"We'e been really pleased and encouraged by the progress Carlos has made in the bullpen," Antonetti said. "He's excelled in that role. We continue to think that, if there was an opportunity to start and we had a need, he potentially could go and succeed in that role."

Our short but beautiful run of Retro Game Master episodes is now over. So sad. You may not know, however, that there are way more episodes out there our broadcast deal didn't cover, many of which you can watch right now, for free.
Sure, they're not dubbed, so those who don't like to read and watch at the same time are shit out of luck. But they are subtitled, and also completely free of edits, and really, in many ways that's the best way to watch something like this. As nature intended.
In Japan the program is known as GameCenter CX, and there are a ton of episodes over a number of seasons. The fine folks at GamingCX have been uploading them, while credit for the subtitles goes to, among others, the localisation masters at TV-Nihon.

Anthropocene: is this the new epoch of humans?
Geologists, climate scientists, ecologists – and a lawyer – gather in Berlin for talks on whether to rename age of human life
Humanity's terrifying impact on Earth justifies new Anthropocene epoch

Ian Sample, science editor
Thursday 16 October 2014 01.00 EDT
A disparate group of experts from around the world will meet for the first time on Thursday for talks on what must rank as one of the most momentous decisions in human history.
The question confronting the scientists and other specialists is straightforward enough, even if the solution is far from simple. Is it time to call an end to the epoch we live in and declare the dawn of a new time period: one defined by humanity's imprint on the planet?
The 30-strong group, made up of geologists, climate scientists, ecologists – and a lawyer for good measure – will start their deliberations in a room at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, or House of the Cultures of the World, a contemporary arts centre in Berlin.
Like many things in the world of geology, little moves fast at the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS), the body that decides the time period we live in. But the arrival and informal adoption of the word "anthropocene" to mean a new epoch of humanity has somewhat forced their hand.
The word came into common usage after Paul Crutzen, a Dutch chemist and Nobel prize winner, used the term in 2000. He argued in an academic newsletter that the current geological epoch should be awarded the new name to reflect the major and ongoing impact of human life on Earth.
The official arrival of the Anthropocene would mark the end of the Holocene, the geological time we live in now. Identified by a geochemical signal in Greenland ice cores that marks the onset of warmer and wetter conditions at the end of the last ice age, the Holocene defined a time when humans colonised new territories and the population swelled.
Though many scientists are happy with the Holocene, the Anthropocene was quickly picked up on. It entered the lexicon of archaeologists, historians, climate scientists and environmentalists. For the ICS, which balks at terms being bandied about without them being properly defined, the rise of the Anthropocene posed a problem.
The ICS responded the way any large and conservative organisation might. Its subcommission on quaternary stratigraphy set up a working group on the Anthropocene, filled it with a diverse range of experts, and handed the problem to them. The working group has given itself until 2016 to bash out a proposal for the ICS to consider.
[ For the graphic of "Geological periods 570m years ago to the present" please see: http://www.theguardian.com/science/2014/oct/16/-sp-scientists-gather-talks-rename-human-age-anthropocene-holocene ]
"Crutzen, who is not a geologist, but one of the modern great scientists, essentially launched a small hand grenade into the world of geological time scales," Jan Zalasiewicz, chair of the ICS's anthropocene working group, told the Guardian. "The word began to be used widely, well before geologists ever got involved."
The secretary of the working group, Colin Waters, a principal mapping geologist at the British Geological Survey, said the term has come to mean different things as it has spread to different groups, a situation that can only end in headaches. "It's so widely used now that there are at least three journals using the term Anthropocene in their titles, yet no-one knows what is meant by the term. It's like having a set of publications on the Jurassic without anyone knowing what the word Jurassic means. We need a common understanding," he said.
The history of the Earth is divided up according to the geological time scale, which is set by the International Commission on Stratigraphy. The longest units of time are periods, such as the Tertiary period, which spans from around 2.5 million years ago to 66 million years ago. Epochs are shorter, such as the Eocene, which ran from 56 million years ago to 34 million years ago. Shorter still are ages, such as the Messinian, which spanned the past 7 to 5 million years.
The working group must first thrash out a definition of the anthropocene and then work out whether it wants the ICS to make the term official and at what level. Crutzen proposed it as a new epoch – as the suffix "cene" suggests – and the working group will use this as a starting point.
In the past, the ICS has looked to rocks to define different time periods in Earth's history. The Cambrian period, which began more than half a billion years ago, marks the moment when major groups of animals first appeared as fossils in rock strata.
This time, the signals may be less wondrous. One marker for the start of the Anthropocene that the group will consider is the sudden and global arrival of radionuclides left over from atomic bombs in the 1940s and 1950s. One advantage is that plutonium, caesium, strontium and other substances can be linked to a specific date in time as well as a clear line in rock, called a golden spike, in the business. "The boundary might be set at 1945 when that started," said Zalasiewicz.
Other options are the widespread use of plastic, the release of polyaromatic hydrocarbons from the burning of fossil fuels, and lead contamination from petroleum, which all leave stark traces in the Earth. Crutzen argued for the late 18th century as the start of the industrial revolution.
But some scientists are completely against the idea. Phil Gibbard, a geologist at Cambridge who set up the working group in the first place, is one. " I'm not in favour of this being defined formally as a division of geological time. I think it's an extraordinarily difficult thing to do," he said. "We are living in an interglacial period and there's no question we're still within that period, and it's called the holocene."
Mike Ellis, a member of the working group and head of climate change at the British Geological Survey, disagrees: "The principal process of change on the planet is us, so the name of our epoch should reflect that. It's as simple as that.
"It acknowledges that humans and the human process is as much a natural process as any other natural process that we are used to thinking about, such as volcanoes and earthquakes. The things we do and the things we make; the rules and legislation we come up with to control the way we live, they are a natural process and it emerges out of this thing called the Earth."
• This article was amended on 16 October 2014 because an earlier version referred to the ICS as the ISC in several places.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai met with the emir of Qatar in Doha Sunday to discuss the possible opening of a Taliban office in the Gulf state.
The move could foster peace negotiations with the Islamic fundamentalist movement in a bid to stem violence as foreign combat forces prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
The Qatar News Agency said Karzai met with the emir, Sheik Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, and other senior government officials on Sunday. He also held talks with Qatar's ambassador to Pakistan during a tour of an Islamic art museum in Doha.
The report didn't give details, but Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Janan Mosazai has said the talks would include the peace process and the opening of a Taliban office.
Karzai's office said he also met with Qatari businessmen and Afghan businessmen living in Qatar on Saturday, the start of the two-day trip, to encourage investment in his struggling country.
He said there are many opportunities in the mining industry as well as energy, power, tourism, hotels and banks.
Afghanistan has already agreed the Taliban can open an office in the Gulf state if the group breaks all ties with al-Qaida and renounces terrorism. Talks will be led by the High Peace Council, a group of influential Afghans that also includes former Taliban.
"The position of the Afghan government for the Taliban to open an office in Qatar is very clear. They should stop their relations with al-Qaida and terrorists and show their readiness for direct negotiations with the Afghan government," Mosazai said.
Despite Karzai's desire to hold talks with the Taliban, and Qatar's agreement for them to open an office in Doha, the insurgents have not yet accepted the offer.
The Taliban have long refused to speak directly with Karzai or his government, which they view as a puppet of foreign powers. They have said they will negotiate only with the United States, which has in the past held secret talks with them in Qatar. But at Karzai's insistence, the U.S. has since sought to have the insurgents speak directly with the Afghan government.
Taliban representatives have had back-channel discussions and private meetings with representatives from various countries. A senior U.S. official told the Associated Press recently that the Taliban are talking to representatives of more than 30 countries, and indirectly with the United States.
The U.S. has said Afghan-led reconciliation is important for the stability of Afghanistan and the region.
"We continue to support the opening of an office in Doha, Qatar, to facilitate negotiations between the High Peace Council and the authorized representatives of the Taliban," U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told the U.N. Security Council earlier this month.
Associated Press writer Rahim Faiez in Kabul contributed to this report.

|Maria Tanase Magic Bird - the early years (CD)
|She was born in September 1913, the third child of Ana Munteana and Ion Coanda Tanase. The father, Coanda, was a passionate gardener and the family lived on the outskirts of Bucharest. It so happened that in her father`s garden she learnt not only to walk, but also how to sing. The Tanases employed women from all parts of Rumania to work in their garden. These women brought the local traditions of the regions they came from with them, in the form of their favourite songs, which they loved to sing. The little Maria was immediately fascinated by the magic of these folk songs, and many of them later became a part of her impressive repertoire. Most important among her gifts was the ability to share the emotions that a folk song evoked in her with the whole audience. This, together with her enormous personal appeal, lead to her becoming a revered idol of the Rumanian people.
Maria Tanase died tragically of cancer in 1963 at the age of 49. It was a day of national mourning. The balconies and windows either side of the route taken by the funeral procession to the Belu Cemetery were packed from early in the morning to assure a chance to honour her passing. Tens of thousands of workers left their factories to accompany "Maria of the Songs" to her final resting place.

When and where possible, we are working to repatriate travelers who are stranded abroad in the wake of the COVID-19 crisis. Our teams are working closely with government officials here in the U.S. as well as in other countries where flying has been restricted to gain the necessary approvals to operate service. In regions where government actions have barred international flying, we have coordinated with the the U.S. State Department and local government officials to re-instate some flights. Additionally, we have been operating several extra flights to countries in Central America and South America as we continue to play a role in connecting people and uniting the world.
We have operated more than 56 repatriation flights from Panama City, Guatemala City, Quito, Lima, San Pedro Sula, Tegucigalpa and Roatan, bringing nearly 8,000 people home. We will continue working with government officials to operate extra flights to Houston from Quito, San Pedro Sula, Tegucigalpa and from Lima to Washington Dulles and beginning April 5, we will begin operating multiple charter flights between Delhi and San Francisco. We continue to review more opportunities for flights between the United States and other countries to bring citizens home.

We also recently reinstated several international flights back into our schedule to support customers and essential businesses which depend on these routes. As a result, we will be the only airline to offer service between Newark/New York and London, San Francisco and Sydney, as well as Houston and São Paulo, Brazil.
In the midst of mobilizing our cargo operations, our teams at New York/Newark (EWR) and Jacksonville (JAX) stepped in to assist Roche Diagnostics with transporting a vital component for an instrument being used for COVID-19 testing.
The component was stuck at EWR en route to the Mayo Clinic in Florida after another airline's flights were cancelled. A Roche employee contacted us asking for help and, within a few hours, our teams had the piece loaded onto a Jacksonville-bound aircraft, with arrangements in place to deliver it to the Mayo Clinic.
The item we shipped will allow the Mayo Clinic in Florida to process hundreds of COVID-19 tests per day. Mayo Clinic Laboratories has been on the front lines of increasing testing capacity to expedite caring for patients at this critical time and working to ease the burden being felt at test processing laboratories in a growing number of areas.
Together, we are facing an unprecedented challenge. United Together, we rise to meet that challenge.

Morning Five: 07.13.12 EditionPosted by rtmsf on July 13th, 2012
- The Carrier Classic and its descendents have received a fair amount of media coverage heading into next season, but hey, at least someone is trying to make the opening of the college basketball season interesting. Is it a cool grand worth of interesting? Our answer is… let's just say that we're banking on the free press pass. One of the new events scheduled for 2012-13 is the Navy/Marine Corps Classic in Jacksonville, Florida, which will feature Georgetown vs. Florida as part of a two-day event involving the hometown Jacksonville Jaguars (playing the Indianapolis Colts). Tying a college hoops game to the supernova of the NFL is probably never a bad idea, but we're not sure that people will be lining up to watch a 5-11 team tacked on to an early regular season hoops game between two teams that have little to do with the other. All we can say is that we wish the promoters well with this idea.
- It's not official yet, but it appears the NPOY Kentucky center Anthony Davis has all but locked up a spot on the men's national basketball team with the news that Team USA forward Blake Griffin has a torn meniscus. Last night in Las Vegas, Team USA played an exhibition scrimmage against John Calipari's Dominican Republic team, annihilating a group led by Edgar Sosa, Al Horford and Francisco Garcia by a score of 113-59. Davis contributed nine points in 10 minutes of action late in the game, including a four-point play where he knocked down a three that he said Calipari wouldn't let him take at Kentucky. With all the national discussion about whether the 2012 team could defeat the original 1992 Dream Team (answer: they could not), it's still very cool that this year's version of Christian Laettner might actually make a significant contribution to the fortunes of the Olympic team.
- It's somewhat hard to believe, but perennial sad sack athletic loser Caltech is in trouble with the NCAA. The Division III school which has more or less made a name for itself in these circles for its perennial athletic futility faces sanctions for playing 30 ineligible athletes in 12 sports. Although the basketball team finally broke through with a victory after a 26-year streak that ended in February 2011, that win will not be vacated as part of the NCAA sanctions. Still, the problem with the NCAA derived from an institutional process that allows students to shop for classes at the beginning of the semester — essentially making choices between Space Optical Aeronautic Engineering and Stochastic System Analysis and Bayesian Updating something that precludes athletic eligibility. Um, yeah.
- What's this? A pair of elite prep twins that are not already slotted to enroll at Stanford? Despite the historical precedent of the Collins twins (Jarron and Jason) and the Lopez twins (Brook and Robin) playing college basketball on the Farm (not to mention the Morris (Kansas) or Wear (UNC/UCLA) twins), it appears that the next generation of phenomenal hoops twins are headed elsewhere. Andrew and Aaron Harrison are a pair of Texas-based top five prospects within the Class of 2013, and recruiters are rightfully treating them as a package deal to the Final Four and beyond. As Matt Norlander notes, Kentucky, Villanova, Maryland and Baylor are the schools on the leaderboard, but whoever gets the duo will certainly have to consider their combo fashion tastes as well as Aaron's proclivity for skateboarding.
- Finally today, we end with yet another unintended consequence of conference realignment reaching down into the mid-major level. Boston University star Jake O'Brien, a senior forward who was once the America East ROY and an all-conference performer before suffering two years worth of injuries. He's already graduated from BU, so given that his school is no longer allowed to compete in the America East Tournament, he's looking for greener pastures for his senior season. In his last fully healthy year in 2009-10, he averaged 14/6 per game and will no doubt be able to provide some front court depth for a high-major team willing to take him on for a year.

* "Blowing Up the Tax Code" by Jeanne Sahadi at CNNMONEY.COM discusses the draft report on tax reform. It has an excellent bottom line -
"Taxes are going up one way or the other. The question is will those higher taxes be levied in a system that is widely considered to be outdated, overly complex and highly inefficient, or in a system that is simpler and smarter?"
* Trish McIntire throws some cold water on those of us who are hopeful for a serious discussion of tax reform resulting from the recently released draft report of the co-chairmen of the President's commission in "Not Going to Happen" at OUR TAXING TIMES. The sad thing is she is most likely correct.
"We don't have the politicians who can pull it off right now. Congress is full of men and women who are more interested in grandstanding and partisanship than solving the country's problems."
I do agree with Trish that to get real reform passed – "We would need old school politicians who understand compromise not officials who are more interested in making points for their party than helping all Americans."
Unfortunately, as I have shown here at TWTP, the cafones currently in Washington are idiots.
* The JOURNAL OF ACCOUNTANCY tells us that "New Rules Require Rental Property Owners to Issue 1099s" to those who they pay $600 or more for services beginning with tax year 2011.
Another ridiculous poorly thought out requirement by the idiots in Congress who probably don't know they voted for it. Hopefully this will be repealed when Congress finally gets around to repealing the new 1099 requirements for 2012, as it says it wants to.

Engineers in all disciplines use electronics in their designs for sensing, actuation, and real-time control. Today there are few exceptions. A common component is an operational amplifier (op-amp), which most engineers treat as a black box containing many transistors and resistors. Its performance is primarily determined by the components (e.g., resistors and capacitors) surrounding it as long as the op-amp has negative feedback and its limitations are not exceeded.
Another common electronic component is the H-bridge. Any engineer who has ever controlled a motor has most likely used the H-bridge, but perhaps treated it as a black box with no thought as to how it works and how it affects overall system performance. The H-bridge needs to be thoroughly understood for model-based design and optimum system performance.
The H-bridge, as shown in the diagram, is named because of its configuration. It has four switching elements (transistors, MOSFETs are a good selection, p-channel for high side, and n-channel for low side) with the load (usually brushed DC or step motor) at the center. The diodes are of the Schottky type with short turn-on delay. The four transistors can be turned on and off independently. If transistors 2 and 3 are turned on, the motor turns in one direction. Turn transistors 1 and 4 on and the motor turns in the opposite direction. The transistors are usually controlled in a pulse-width modulated (PWM) fashion. When the transistor is on, it behaves like a small temperature-dependent resistor -- the lower the value the better for heat dissipation.
When the transistor is completely off, it conducts no current. MOSFETs are voltage-driven devices. The gate forms a parasitic capacitor with the source, and this capacitance limits the speed at which the transistor can be turned on and off. In the transitional periods, the power dissipation due to switching is significant, especially when the switching frequency is higher than a few hundred hertz (Hz). The role of the diodes is often overlooked and they are intrinsic in MOSFETs. While the bridge is on, two of the four transistors carry the current and the diodes have no role.
However, once the bridge is turned off, the transistors will not conduct current. When the load is inductive, as with motors, the electromagnetic field associated with it will collapse when the transistor is turned off and the diodes provide a low-resistance path for that current to flow and thus keep the voltage on the motor terminals within a reasonable range. The dissipated heat from the diodes can be of the same order of magnitude as the heat dissipation from the transistor switching.
The load (motor) is modeled as an inductor (Lm), resistance (Rm), and speed-dependent voltage (back emf) in series, the values of which are all dependent on motor rotor position. The motor torque is proportional to the current flowing through this series combination. There are two extremes. When the motor runs with no load, the current is low and the motor terminal voltage is close to the back-emf voltage. When the motor is stalled, the back-emf voltage is zero and the motor acts like an inductor.
The H-bridge can be driven in many different ways. In general, the on-time behavior is rather simple: Turn on one high-side transistor and the opposite low-side transistor to allow current to flow through the motor. It is the off-time drive that makes the difference. Since transistors 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) should never be turned on at the same time, there are only three different combinations for those two switches: Transistor 1 conducts, or transistor 2 conducts, or neither conducts. There are many different drive modes. Andras Tantos has provided an excellent, detailed explanation, and I highly recommend it.
A black box approach to some commonly used devices is justified, but the H-bridge is not one of them.

Mobilize This! has moved to become part of the new ResearchImpact website. You can visit the new blog at researchimpact.ca/blog
Hope to see you in our new home!
On June 3, 2013 I posted a "A funny thing happened on the way to the Forum" in honour of the farcical play (and movie by that same title) and Canadian Knowledge Mobilization Forum 2013 (#CKF13) in marvelous Mississauga. That meeting marked the first time all 10 ResearchImpact-RéseauImpactRecherche (RIR) universities got together.
We got together again in October and again in April to finalize our Strategic Plan. Our meeting on June 8 in sassy Saskatoon in advance of #CKF14 marks the third meeting in 9 months and is the culmination of much planning.
Lots of planning. Lots of activity. Lots of mobilizing going on!
This year has seen a wonderful new energy from all RIR universities. Whether contributing to blogs, supporting events, drafting and supporting plans all RIR universities have stepped into active roles. And it is GREAT.
We've seen some old friends leave (miss you Steve Dooley) and some step away to start a family (miss you Shawna) and some new friends join us (Tara Tedesco, Arthur Fallick, James Popham, Aubert Landry – welcome all).
We are all looking forward to (re)connecting on Saturday for dinner. The energy will build Sunday during our RIR meeting and we will all peak on Monday and Tuesday for #CKF14. To see why we're all excited to attend check out the amazing KMb talent on the program.
Krista Jensen, RIR-York
Until next time!
It's been another great Congress! Here's what happened this year:
Thanks to the Federation and Brock University for another great Congress!
Krista Jensen, RIR-York
How things have changed…
The first Congress I attended was in 2008 at the University of British Columbia. I spent a few days at the ResearchImpact booth talking to people about the work we do. Back then, I spent a lot of time talking about what knowledge mobilization was. People weren't familiar with the term and were often confused by it. Usually after sharing a story or two about a research project that used knowledge mobilization they would understand.
This time around, I have spent a lot less time explaining what knowledge mobilization and more time talking about how we do knowledge mobilization. I've been getting the sense that researchers I've been talking to here at Congress get the concept of knowledge mobilization and are actively engaged in it.
And it hasn't just been researchers from only certain disciplines; I've talked to people in Geography, Communications and Culture, Women's Studies, Political Science and more. I've also talked to a lot more community based researchers than I have at other academic conferences.
It has been a great to see a shift in the conversation and to have substantial discussions about different knowledge mobilization activities and methods with researchers from across Canada.
Krista Jensen, RIR-York
What are the chances?
On Wednesday morning at breakfast, I grabbed the first seat I could find at a table where five people were chatting with each other. Unlike my fellow York KMb colleagues, Michael and David, I am decidedly not a morning person and don't have a lot to say before I have some coffee, so I was concentrating on my breakfast when I suddenly heard, "I think Yaffle is the best example of that". For readers who may not know, Yaffle is an online platform that connects innovators in Newfoundland and Labrador with knowledge and expertise at Memorial University and is a tool used by RIR members The Harris Centre.
It turns out the topic of their conversation was the development a database to help match up researchers and community partners for collaborative research projects. I talked to them about our brokering activities at York and how we mainly rely on our networks to identify possible partnerships.
But this question of using a database to identify potential research partners came up a few more times during the day. I was asked by a few visitors to our booth if we use a database in our brokering activities. This got me thinking about the value of using this type of tool for research collaborations.
Besides the usual technical complications of developing and maintaining this type of database, I wonder about its role in identifying and supporting research partnerships- Would it replace face-to-face brokering? Would it compliment it? Would it just be a starting place for the partnership or could you potentially establish a "virtual" partnership, say on a global research project?
Not sure I have the answers to these questions. I would be interested in hearing other people's views on the subject. Does anyone have any experience using databases for knowledge brokering? How does it fit in with face-to-face brokering?
Michael Johnny, RIR – York
ResearchImpact is ubiquitous.
This is my 8th Congress, working the ResearchImpact/ReseauImpactRecherche (RIR) booth. I am confident that our national network is beginning to be seen as national leaders in knowledge mobilization. The last year has been a very positive one for our network, but an important part of emerging leadership is being visible, being ubiquitous.
The first time this term was by the CEO of the United Way York Region. I had shown up for two consecutive evening community consultation meetings UWYR had hosted, the second night with colleagues. The comment went something like this, when we walked in that evening: "My God, you guys are ubiquitous". Of course, I had heard of the word but did not fully understand the meaning. It was stated in a sincere and appreciative tone.
Dictionary.com provides this definition for ubiquitous: "existing or being everywhere, especially at the same time; omnipresent". It's an appropriate word for ResearchImpact. We seek to engage ourselves in places which can help educate and inform, connect and collaborate, and engage. Congress is an ideal location for our network to exhibit. We have helped promote examples – across the country – of how knowledge mobilization at universities in Canada can provide effective service support for faculty, graduate students and non-academic leaders in community, industry, government and the public. As a network of 10 universities, we are providing comprehensive services in the context of our institutions and surrounding communities.
I'm not sure if I will be at Congress for eight more years, but I am confident RIR will. While I have no plans to leave, I am seeing a growing core of skilled professional knowledge brokers who can capably provide this service (but I do hope I can attend for 8 more years, I love it!!).
Michael Johnny, RIR – York
Connections. They are always central to effective KMb, but I noticed today especially how important connections are – to build, maintain and support. Let's examine some highlights of my day:
– A friend and former colleague of mine from my years working in Aboriginal literacy showed up, and in addition to the personal and professional gossip and catch up, we talked business. Her work as a Publishing Manager for a provincial Aboriginal literacy organization has created a new opportunity to leverage York KMb capacity to support a business venture.
– Our booth is conveniently close to Mitacs. This proximity is helping build relationships with key staff, but more importantly, to explore and expand thinking around a proposed collaboration…stay tuned for details later this summer!
– New this year at the RIR booth is a daily project poster display. Utilizing projects across the RIR network, today's poster focused on a collaborative project on improving math for young children. The project was between Laurier researchers, Ontario Early Years Centres and Libraries of Wellington County. The impact story resonated with a parent, coincidentally from that part of Ontario, and she will be seeking a connection with Laurier's broker to follow up and learn more.
– Lastly, I took some time to meet with a faculty member at U Manitoba who was signing new copies of her recent book. We attended the same graduate program at Trent. There's no deep message here; just that you should always make the time to maintain connections that matter.
Of course, the day brought its usual inquiries – 38 visits to the RIR booth, representing 15 unique institutions and, again, a few non-academic organizations. One simply never knows whether any of these 38 visits will result in something. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but a connection made provides an incredible opportunity. I would not have guessed a connection I made in 1994 would play so prominently in my current work in 2014!
