The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) is pleased to comment on the Scottish Executive Lifelong Learning Department second consultation paper on the Scottish Higher Education Review. The RSE is Scotland's premier Learned Society, comprising Fellows elected on the basis of their distinction, from the full range of academic disciplines, and from industry, commerce and the professions. This response has been compiled by the General Secretary with the assistance of a number of Fellows with substantial experience in this area.
As we noted in our response to the first consultation paper, it could be said that what is good for the competitive position of Scottish HEIs in UK, and international terms, will be good for the Scottish economy. That, in various forms of application, is therefore a crucial test for defining policy or action. In addition, given that many institutions operate in a global market, it is important that the objectives set are not parochial because higher education is international and Scottish HEIs have succeeded very much because of their UK and international competitiveness in research and in teaching quality.
The questions, as set out, suggest a number of "key challenges". The key challenge that many Scottish Universities currently have to deal with is the problem of serious under-funding. One piece of evidence for this is the number of HEI's within Scotland that have had to put in place, or are in the process of putting in place, major staff-restructuring programmes aimed at significantly reducing their overall staff costs to a level that can be afforded. The specific issues identified in the second consultation paper are now addressed below:
Teaching and Learning
Do you agree that the key challenges in teaching and learning for higher education institutions over the next decade will be developing new student markets, and making the higher education they provide available on more flexible terms? Where will the greatest opportunities, and the largest obstacles, in meeting these challenges lie?
Communications and information technology has the potential to re-shape the learning process in the interests of increasing access, flexibility and learner-centred approaches. Similarly, E-learning could have an important role in increasing the flexibility in learning delivery, so long as they are pedagogically based (for example the Heriot-Watt SCHOLAR programme) rather than technology driven.
Do you agree that increasing the proportion of students from the lower socio-economic groups is now the key challenge in widening access in Scotland? What are the most important actions the Executive could take to meet that goal?
As noted in our response to the first round of consultation, increasing the proportion of entrants to HE from the poorer socio-economic groups is also an issue of financing students from that background, for example in terms of maintenance grants, where the remedy lies principally with the Executive itself. There is also an issue of academic preparation during secondary school, where pressures are put on HE either to remedy educational short comings that should have been addressed in secondary education or to lower entry requirements to accommodate such short comings. The Society believes that the first necessary action must be to improve the quality of the academic offering at secondary school level and that HE should not be expected to compensate for any deficiencies of the latter. There is also an insufficient provision of vocational education in institutions which should be catering specifically for it. Finland, for example, has recognised the error of the continuing expansion of HE and is cutting back, while increasing resources in FE and polytechnics and in school science teaching.
Do you agree that Scotland should seek to develop stronger links between labour market needs and higher education provision? What are the key issues to consider in seeking to develop those links?
The importance of dialogue between employers and providers is well recognised and occurs at all levels from Government bodies to individual university departments and research groups interacting with industry and business. While the universities are well aware of their responsibilities to prepare students for their subsequent careers, it should be remembered that higher education institutions (HEIs) educate their graduates. They do not train them to work in one particular industry sector and certainly not for one specific company.
Many academic institutions run special postgraduate courses to widen experience of students outside their subject area and there are activities/initiatives proceeding at research group level through to sector wide level. Many postgraduates also interact with industry because of the nature of their award (e.g. in Teaching Company Schemes and CASE awards).
Scottish universities are well aware of the need to develop high level skills, many of them research based. There are, however, a number of challenges in developing HEI education and training for industrial researchers in what are identified as priority areas. As there is no general structure for interaction between employers and providers, SMEs appear to have a particularly ineffectual relationship with HEIs or the higher education sector as a whole. With 4-year degree courses, there can also be long lead times before HEIs produce the graduates with the required skills. Planning timescales within industry, however, are usually over a 1-3 year period. These factors make it difficult for HEIs to respond to perceived skills needs and shortages by, for example, new undergraduate courses.
Do you agree the importance of increasing the numbers of overseas students, either as distance learners or coming to study here and the need for Scottish wide co-operation to do this?
The reputation and reach of Scottish higher education can be dramatically extended in the international arena by well-designed distance learning. Such schemes have the potential to help develop new markets, access new revenue streams and position Scottish education at the forefront of the rapidly globalising knowledge industries.
Research and Knowledge
Do you agree with the aim that in a decade from now: obvious areas of strategic weakness should have been addressed; there should be better networked groups of academics in linked research distributed across Scottish institutions, and beyond; institutions should be collaborating more strategically to maximise the effectiveness of investment in research? What are the opportunities and obstacles to pursuing this aim?
Collaboration can provide additional benefit, but it is not a replacement for adequate core funding. It is also somewhat unrealistic to expect collaborative use of a new facility funded in a single institution when the facility's capacity is being used fully by the single institution. Collaboration requires encouragement and facilitation and only works well when the academic and managerial basis is well founded. The host institutions, therefore, should be properly funded to run the facilities, including funding provision for hosting visitors from other institutions.
In terms of improved networks of researchers, the Society agrees that this is an important area, and it will be important that such networks are not constrained by geographical boundaries. It will also be important to recognise that the operation of networks has a cost in terms of both time and money, both of which need to be provided.
Overall, in the setting of goals and objectives by the Scottish Executive and SHEFC, there will be the need for a careful application of appropriate metrics. If the wrong ones are chosen, the wrong behaviour will be encouraged.
Do you agree that the other key research challenge for the decade is the need to continue to encourage and support innovation and creative thinking about knowledge transfer? Again, what are the opportunities and obstacles?
Knowledge transfer and commercialisation potential depends on universities' fundamental knowledge generation and research capability. It is, therefore, important to provide adequate support for an internationally competitive outward looking research base in Scotland. It is also important to recognise that all stakeholders, including the higher education institutions (HEIs) themselves, need to see the benefits from knowledge transfer. Comments are sometimes made about the speed of the knowledge transfer process, and the inability of universities to deliver suitable deals to business. Whilst there are instances of universities being unable to deliver in such circumstances, there are also many examples of Scottish (and UK) companies who are not geared up to undertake high technology deals.
In addition, whilst there are good reasons for the movement of researchers from Higher Education into the private sector as part of the knowledge transfer process, there needs to be safeguards that the core research base is not denuded of talent as a consequence. Aside from the broader pay and reward systems, the introduction of (properly funded) schemes to support research teams when a key researcher(s) leaves to form a company would be beneficial. Other countries, such as Ireland and the USA, are actively attracting high quality people to come to work in relevant sectors, in both universities and companies. In such cases the Government is supporting the development of key strategic areas through the recruitment of excellent researchers and this approach could be considered for Scotland.
Looking specifically at the commercialisation of research, where is action most urgently needed, if we are to maximise the impact of higher education?
At the recent "Managing Intellectual Property in Scottish Higher Education" event at the RSE on 28 June 2002, the following areas were identified as issues for action:
From March to August 2001 the RSE also organised a series of Science Base Research and Commercialisation workshops across Scotland. The key recommendations from the summary event of these workshops included:
The 'Proof of Concept' and RSE/Scottish Enterprise Enterprise Fellowship schemes have also produced an impressive array of projects at a relatively low cost and should continue to be supported. Additional funding for core patenting within HEIs could similarly be considered.
Governance and Management
The RSE believes that University Courts and Governing Bodies in Scottish HEIs are working reasonably well. Membership of a Court or Governing Body should, however, be drawn from as representative a range as possible of organisations and interests and have regard to an appropriate balance with regard to skills, gender, ethnicity, disability and other groups.
There are particular issues relating to staff development and management of estates. Do you agree that these should be the key areas of concern for this review?
Staff represent the highest cost element to HEIs and the sector's estates represent the major asset base. Therefore, these two issues are fundamental areas of concern, but consideration of these areas should be broader than staff development and estate management. Attention should also be given to the issue of the relatively poor pay of academic staff in Britain (and Scotland). Universities must be able to offer attractive, competitive salaries if they are to deliver the excellent, world class higher education system the Executive wishes to see. Nevertheless, the proposals for improving the training staff for changing roles and improving academic and administrative career management are to be welcomed. Consideration should also be given to the career management of academic related and support staff with the further professionalisation of such staff, to include training and staff development opportunities and proper reward strategies.
In terms of the sector's estates, there has been an enormous under-investment in the sector's physical estate, over the past 20 years. This needs to be addressed as a priority and as part of any strategy about managing estates.
Additional Information
In responding to this inquiry the Society would like to draw attention to the following Royal Society of Edinburgh responses which are of relevance to this subject: Review of Postgraduate Education (February 1999); Funding for the Future: A Consultation on the Funding of Teaching (March 1999); Devolution and Science (April 1999); The Independent Committee of Inquiry into Student Finance (September 1999); A Framework for Economic Development (March 2000); Funding for the Future: Stage 2 Consultation Paper on the Funding of Teaching (April 2000); Research and the Knowledge Age (April 2000); A Science Strategy for Scotland (July 2000); The Are We Realising Our Potential Inquiry (July 2000; January 2001); Postgraduate Support (August 2000); Review of Teaching Funding (March 2001); Review of Research Policy and Funding (April 2001); Review of the supply of scientists and engineers (August 2001) and Scottish Higher Education Review (January 2002).

Why is Licensing So Important?
One of the most important things to look for is licensing and regulatory third parties. From New York to California, Family Credit Management is licensed or legally qualified to conduct business in every state we operate in.
Some states have few or no licensing requirements. People with no training or certification can set up a "debt management program" and basically steal your money. Always use a company, like Family Credit Management, that is legal, fully licensed, and regularly audited – that way you can be positive you will be taken care of.
In addition to these state licenses, we are proud to be ISO 9001 certified. This highly coveted distinction is granted only after we developed a complex client quality system in which all employees are thoroughly trained. This incorporates in-depth training of our staff, detailed department manuals, and complete adherence to the ISO standard including the consumer credit counseling code of practice.
At Family Credit Management Service we take your privacy very seriously – we never have and never will sell our client names to any party. We understand that financial difficulties and bad credit are a private matter and by working with one of our consumer credit counselors you have put your faith and trust in us. We will not let you down. You can view our entire Privacy Policy here.

Tilting Furnaces for Ingot- & Shell Mould Casting
The TF series tilting furnaces are equipped with 32-bit induction generators providing 15-60 kW output power (depending on which version of the furnace). Low frequency tuning means excellent through-mixing of the molten material. All versions are controlled via a console with a LCD display (full text readout). Efficient thermal insulation and electromagnetic shielding ensure a high level of effectivness. These machines are designed for:
- melting large quantities like antique gold or manufacturing residues like casting waste, scrap or swarf
- recycling sector
- casting large casting parts into shellcasting moulds
New & Highly Cost-Effective
The new "small" TFs (TF1200-TF4000) have been developed with the focus on least possible energy consumption and safe/ergonomic handling. Offering the same maximum outputs like before, the effective power consumption now has dropped significantly – on a level where competitor machines cannot go with.
The Giants Among Tilting Furnaces
The large crucible volumes between 6000 – 12000 ccm (TF6000 & TF12000) give these machines enormous capacity. Because of the potentially large weight, the inductor/crucible unit uses a motor drive with a stable shaft. The use of a joystick enables the tilting process in a controlled and sensitive way.
TF2000C & TF4000C – High Temperature TFs
This melting furnace has been particularly designed to melt large quantities of steel or other metals with a high melting point. The strong induction generator and low induction frequency means very good mixing of the metal can be achieved. The main areas of applications are:
- casting voluminous parts such as sculptures (also sand casting)
- purification melting of waste
- casting of ingots
- casting of solid rollers

It turns out I'm really big on them.
Here is a simple spring-themed garland that I made during my aforementioned crafting binge last week.
If you want to make your own, you'll need:
- 5 sheets of cardstock in your desired colors
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Exacto knife
- Yarn, string, or ribbon to hang it up
- scrap paper for drawing your image stencils
It's so easy to make, that I didn't even do pictures in the process. Here's how I did it:
1. Cut out five rectangles from cardstock colors of your choice.
2. Make stencils of the images you want to use by drawing (or printing out) the images then cutting them out. Choose three different images.
3. Trace your cutouts onto the center of your cardstock. Cut out using an exacto blade.
4. Draw and cut scalloping at the bottom of one rectangle. Use this as a stencil for the bottoms of the other rectangles. Trace and cut for the remaining four rectangles.
5. Using a hole punch punch a hole in the center of each scallop and two holes on the top for stringing and hanging.
6. String and hang.
Are you going to do this project? Take some pics and link to it in the comments below.

NOTE: This tour can be run in conjunction with the Los Llanos (Eastern Plains) tour.
Day 1: Arrive Bogotá.
Day 2: Morning flight to Medellin. In the afternoon we shall visit a small reserve overlooking the city where we shall hope to see Red-bellied Grackle, Stiles Tapaculo and Yellow-headed Manakin.
Day 3 - 6 This morning we shall take a flight to Bahia Solano before transfering to our comfortable lodge at the other end of the only 18 miles of road that exist in this part of the pacific coast. We shall spend our few days here exploring the reserve behind our lodge along with walks through Utria National Park and along the road where excellent forest patches still remain. One of our main targets will be the very local and endemic Baudo Oropendola, but we should also hope to see a great variety of species including Grey-headed Chachalaca, Blue-footed Booby, Brown Booby, King Vulture, Grey-headed Kite, Double-toothed Kite, Plumbeous Kite, Tiny Hawk, Semiplumbeous Hawk, Common Black Hawk, White-throated Crake, Brown Wood-rail, Dusky Pigeon, Blue Ground Dove, Grey-chested Dove, Rose-faced Parrot, Grey-capped Cuckoo, Green Thorntail, Blue-chested Hummingbird, Purple-chested Hummingbird, Purple-crowned Fairy, Black-breasted Puffbird, Pied Puffbird, Spot-crowned Barbet, Stripe-billed Aracari, Choco Toucan, Black-mandibled Toucan, Black-cheeked Woodpecker, Black-striped Woodcreeper, Great Antshrike, Black-headed Antthrush, Thicket Antpitta, Western Sirystes, Bright-rumped Attila, Black-tipped Cotinga, Purple-throated Fruitcrow, Golden-collared Manakin, Green Manakin, Red-capped Manakin, Black-crowned Tityra, Masked Tityra, Lesser Greenlet, Black-chested Jay, Song Wren, Fulvous-vented Euphonia, Scarlet-rumped Cacique, Dusky-faced Tanager, White-shouldered Tanager, Tawny-crested Tanager, Plain-colored Tanager, Blue-whiskered Tanager, Rufous-winged Tanager, Golden-hooded Tanager, Scarlet-thighed Dacnis, Blue Dacnis, Scarlet-browed Tanager and Scarlet-and-white Tanager.
In addition to the great variety of birds, this is time of year is also the best for seeing migrating Humpback Whales and there will be a boat trip out to get close-up views of these magnificent animals.
On the final morning we shall fly back to Medellin before heading to Jardin for a two night stay. En route to Jardin we shall stop and look for the newly described Antioquia Wren as well as the endemic Apical Flycatcher.
Day 7: Today we spend the day above the village of Jardin where we shall look for very local Yellow-eared Parrot and maybe Munchique Wood-wren. Additional time in the area could reward us with Tanager-finch, Hooded Tanager, Barred Fruiteater, White-browed Spintail, White-capped Tanager, Chestnut-crested Cotinga, Black-billed Mountain-toucan and lekking Andean Cock-of-the-rocks.
Day 8 - 10: For the next three nights we shall base ourselves in the city of Manizales. The first day will be spent at the Rio Blanco reserve where we shall look for several Antpittas including Brown-banded, Chestnut-naped, Undulated, Slate-crowned and Bicoloured, but also Dusky Piha, Black-billed Mountain-toucan, Occelated, Spillman's, Ash-coloured and Blackish Tapaculos, Masked Saltator, Rusty-faced Parrot and Golden-plumed Parakeet. The following day we shall travel to the foot of the Nevado del Ruiz Volcano where we shall spend the morning where our primary focus will be to look for the highly local and endemic Rufous-fronted Parakeet. However, we shall also be keeping our eye out for Tawny Antpitta, Golden-crowned Tanager, Black-backed Bush-tanager, Mountain Avocetbill, Black-thighed Puffleg and Bearded Helmetcrest.
Day 11 -12: Today we shall travel to the SFF Otun-Quimabaya. This is almost the only place you can see the very rare Cauca Guan and we should expect to see them feeding high in the canopy prior to going to roost on our first afternoon. We may also be lucky enough to encounter Chestnut Wood-quail, Multicoloured Tanager or maybe even the diminutive Greyish Piculet. After lunch on our second day we shall drive to Montezuma Lodge for a two nights stay.
Day 13: Today we shall spend our time birding the slopes of Cerro Montezuma. Here our main targets will be the endemic Gold-ringed and Black-and-gold Tanagers, Chestnut-bellied Flowerpiercer and an as yet undescribed species of Tapaculo - Alto Pisones! We shall also hopefully see Crested Ant-tanager, Beautiful Jay, Black Solitaire, Fulvous-dotted Treerunner, Glistening-green Tanager, Black-chinned Mountain-tanager, Club-winged Manakin and many other Chocó endemics.
Day 14: We shall drive to Pereira to catch a lunchtime flight to Bogotá.

Global Engagement:
The Curriculum
Students graduating from the University of Michigan should be able to succeed in a global environment as leaders, as workers, and as citizens. This requires that they be able to situate, understand, and think critically about global challenges and important international problems. They should also be able to work in settings that are linguistically, culturally, economically, and politically diverse. Thus, the University should offer a curriculum that provides and expands opportunities for all students to be exposed to and engage in international experiences and learning opportunities. Our students should leave the University with a considerable level of knowledge, insight, and experience pertaining to the broader world community.
Despite the widespread and growing use of English throughout the world, the prospects for success and advancement in many professions are greatly enhanced by the knowledge of a language other than English. In addition the United States has far too few citizens capable of working in a language other than English. This reduces our country's overall effectiveness in such fields as international business and commerce, international relations and diplomacy, media relations and journalism, and many others. Knowledge of one or more foreign languages broadens a person's outlook, perspective, and horizon, enhancing his or her prospects for a successful and satisfying life in a society that is increasingly diverse and in a world that is increasingly interdependent. Indeed, more than two-thirds of the 2008 graduating seniors and the alumni who were surveyed in 2009 reported that they had studied a foreign language at the University on average just under two academic years. For all of these reasons, the University should reject the view that the widespread use of English around the world means that knowledge of a foreign language has become less important. Rather, the University should continue to encourage language learning and ensure that students have the broadest possible array of opportunities to study and achieve proficiency in one or more languages other than English, including less- and least-commonly-taught languages [6].
Another key issue that needs to be addressed for students is course and credit pre-approval for international education. The current system provides few guarantees to our students and their parents. Other universities have resolved this issue by allowing students to take academic classes abroad to "complete" college requirements, and by aligning study abroad with departmental credit. The University should develop an efficient and transparent system for pre-approval of credit, as well as comprehensive articulation tables for courses taken abroad, which would take this uncertainty and worry out of education abroad and thereby increase the rate of participation.

Organizations are starting to adopt proactive cyber threat hunting to supplement traditional threat management practices. These existing practices were more focused on detection during and action after an incident has occurred. In contrast, the threat hunting approach involves actively searching your internal network for vulnerabilities, like un-patched systems and poor configurations that could potentially allow an attacker to get through. The next development for threat hunting is to go outside your network perimeter to understand the attackers themselves. The methodology emphasizes an enhanced awareness of your online surroundings as a key component to successfully identifying and anticipating threats.
In my Security Week Article, "Understanding Looming Threats and the Need to Hunt With Anonymity," I discuss the importance of situational awareness when engaging online – especially when hunting for threats outside the organization's firewalls. This kind of threat hunting is much less common because it requires special skills and introduces a whole new realm of risks and unknowns. However, hunting in the "wild" can produce unique and critical threat intelligence for your organization.
When hunting for threats, you don't want to draw attention to yourself or your mission.
In the article, I draw an analogy to the use of plain-clothed police officers in unmarked patrol cars. If a target realizes you are watching them, they can block your access, hide, feed you false information, or even attack your computer. So, blending into your surroundings with a form of digital camouflage is imperative. The problem with this is that remaining anonymous online is becoming more difficult. The minute you step out on the public internet, your target will be able to recognize you. Your IP address reveals your organization, and various trackers and metadata in your browser give away information about you and your online activities.
In the same way that the police department utilizes unmarked patrol cars, you can successfully remain anonymous on the internet if you have the right technology and avoid the tricks and pitfalls.
"Incognito mode" will not make you anonymous.
A common misconception is that turning on "incognito mode" in your browser will make you anonymous. But in reality, this only ensures that your browsing session's history and cookies are not saved. It does not mask critical identifiers such as your IP address, advanced trackers, or browser fingerprint.
The first step to "getting out of uniform" while threat hunting is to use an IP address that is not associated with you, your organization, or even your general location. Next is to make sure that trackers can't make it easy for websites to recognize you when you visit. Tracking techniques are always evolving, which makes it difficult to completely remove them. The best approach is to operate within a virtual machine (VM). Virtual machines allow you to begin every session with a clean image, which you can restore to a clean saved version when you are done. This eliminates all trackers and destroys any malware that was picked up along the way, even if they have not been detected.
Finally, you need to make sure your browser's fingerprint can't reveal your identity. Completely hiding your browser fingerprint is impossible, but using one that is shared by many other people can help hide your identity. If you use a VM, it will always appear as if you're browsing on a newly installed operating system, which is the most common browser fingerprint.
If you can manage these identifiers, you will successfully blend-in to your online surroundings while monitoring activity and proactively searching for threats.

For a more detailed explanation of hunting for advanced threats, tune in to my recent BrightTALK webinar, Wear Camouflage While Hunting Threats in the Wild.

The theory behind a drip feeder is simple: rather than depending on the water to trickle down through the soil, a drip feeder delivers the water straight to the plant's roots. It encourages a healthy root structure and deters fungus from growing on the plant's roots.
But save your money; there's no reason to invest in an expensive drip feeder watering system. You can DIY a perfectly good drip feeder just by upcycling what you'd likely just be throwing away.
You'll need:
A plastic water or soda bottle
Metal skewers or an awl
A length of old pantyhose
Just punch several holes in the water bottle; add more holes for dryer soil. Then, wrap the pantyhose around the bottle to keep dirt from filling the holes. Bury the bottle next to your plants with the mouth of the bottle above ground and you've got yourself your very own drip feeder.

To criticize X is one thing, to mock X is another; but the more you do of either, the less you see the distinction.

This is where I put all the stuff that doesn't fit in another category.
Standing in the Solar System
My home was in the path of the total eclipse of 2017. The hype before the event made us all doubt it could possibly live up to the anticipation—and yet it did. And how. Follow this link to read my essay over at The Peregrine Magazine, "Standing in the Solar System".
Check out the Peregrine Magazine
The same folks that started The Josias have kicked off another journal, The Peregrine. While the former is about big ideas and its entries are long, the latter is about living out the ideas and its articles are short.
When I saw that Peter Edmund Waldstein of the Sancrucensis Blog had published a lovely reflection on swimming with goggles at The Peregrine, I was reminded of a piece I wrote quite some time ago titled Life in the Cosmos. I sent it in, but unfortunately their word limit meant they could only publish snippets of the original essay. It's enough to offer a feel for the topic. Check out the shorter Life in the Cosmos here.
The first-ever translation of this text by Aquinas
One of my projects this summer was editing a translation of part of Book IV of Aquinas's commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard. Since "Commentary on the Sentences of Peter Lombard" is a pretty big mouthful, most people just call it the Scriptum.
Beth Mortensen of The Aquinas Institute has done a magnificent job translating this hitherto untranslated text by the Angelic Doctor. I was tapped to read the whole thing and catch mistakes, but for the most part that just meant reading.
Some of problems I did fix related to an exciting development for the Aquinas Institute. The Leonine Commission, the group officially tasked by the Church with working critical editions of all of Aquinas's works, gave us access to their provisional critical edition of the Scriptum. So in many places we were able to correct our translation by looking at a better Latin text than anything currently in print!
The Aquinas Institute is all about making Aquinas's works widely available, so in addition to selling the new translation as a physical book they have also made the entire text available online for free. It's satisfying to see it go up!
Why do apples fall?
My last post explored Dr. Baxter's ingenious quiz, "How Much of a Modernist Are You?" I would like to delve deeper into the questions raised by Dr. Baxter (and ultimately Charles Taylor) by attempting my own answer of Question 4:
Why does an apple fall to the ground when it detaches from the stem?
- The laws of physics teach us that all objects fall to the ground according to gravity.
- Gravity, of course, but behind the working of nature we can perceive the "hand" of God, which I mean metaphorically.
- The apple longs to return its native place, because the whole universe is infused with desire. Ultimately, the world longs to imitate, to the extent it can, Eternity.
Are you a modernist? Take the quiz.
My colleague and friend Dr. Jason Baxter has published a delightful quiz at The Imaginative Conservative to show us how thoroughgoingly modern we all are. He takes his cue from Dr. Charles Taylor, whose gigantic book on the modern age argues that we live in a "disenchanted" world—all us inhabitants of the North Atlantic region, inevitably, without any choice in the matter. While our medieval forbears lived in a sacred and magical cosmos, we live in an autonomous, scientific universe. Continue reading "Are you a modernist? Take the quiz."
What is emotional "processing"?
I have been thinking about the notion of "emotional processing," as in when someone says that he needs to "process what happened." Does this phrase have a clear meaning, or is it a fuzzy phrase used to escape clear thinking? I think it does have a clear meaning, and what follows is my attempt to unfold it. I am not a psychiatrist, and I don't intend this blog post as a contribution to the psychiatric profession. This is just an exploration of a word.
To "process" something means to take something that is not immediately usable and change it into something more immediately usable. This is how we "process" meat or vegetables, for example. So to "process" an experience would mean to take the raw experience and turn it into something that is more useful in life. Experiences need to be processed both intellectually and emotionally: intellectually, we need to get practical wisdom from our experiences, while emotionally we need to calibrate our desires and fears. Continue reading "What is emotional "processing"?"
The color of reading
Emotion colors perception wonderfully. The same aspen tree, with the same white bark and the same golden leaves fluttering in the same wind, is one tree to the moonstruck lover, another tree to the poet in search of joy, and still a third to the dismal soul doubting whether life has meaning. The same sensory input offers either a happy companion, or a wistful finger pointing to another realm, or a bleached-out bit of wood. Continue reading "The color of reading"
Whether Teachers Teach for the Sake of Their Students
[This is the second in a three-part series on liberal education: (1) Whether the purpose of a liberal arts college is to teach; (2) whether teachers at a liberal arts college teach for the sake of their students; (3) whether teachers at a liberal arts college are employees. For background on the subject, see my post on Pieper's book. For a glimpse into the kind of enjoyment I hope this post offers, see my comments on the scholastic question format.]
Article 2: Whether the Faculty Teaches for the Sake of the Students
Objection 1. It seems that teachers teach for the sake of the students. If teachers did not teach for the sake of students, then their teaching would be for themselves. But teaching is an activity directed toward others, not toward oneself. Therefore, teachers teach for the sake of the students. Continue reading "Whether Teachers Teach for the Sake of Their Students"
Whether the Purpose of a Liberal Arts College Is to Teach
[This is the first in a three-part series on liberal education: (1) Whether the purpose of a liberal arts college is to teach; (2) whether teachers at a liberal arts college teach for the sake of their students; (3) whether teachers at a liberal arts college are employees. For background on the subject, see my post on Pieper's book. For a glimpse into the kind of enjoyment I hope this post offers, see my comments on the scholastic question format.]
Here's how to read this post. Read the first objection, and then stop to think through how you would reply. Do the same with the second objection. Read the "on the contrary," and stop to think about whether you agree with the argument. Then read the body of the article, where I tip my hand as to my own ideas, and see if just reading the body changes how you would reply to the objections. Finally, read each reply and see whether I said the same thing you would have said. If not, why not? Let me know.
Article 1: Whether the Purpose of a Liberal Arts College Is to Teach
Objection 1. It seems that the purpose of a liberal arts college is to teach. After all, the purpose of a college is to benefit students, and students go to college in order to be taught. Therefore, the purpose of a college is to teach. Continue reading "Whether the Purpose of a Liberal Arts College Is to Teach"

Price: £29.95
Available from: Halfords
Suitable from: For ages 4 -12 yrs (15-36 KG or up to 135cm)
About:The Trunki BoostApak is a back pack & booster seat all in one, ideal for your child to carry around when not using as a car seat
Initial Reaction: Great idea, lots of excitement from the kids
Pros: Very handy, plenty of space inside plus booster seat is sturdy , fold out belt if needed. Can be taken everywhere . Wipe clean
Cons: The bag part is rather square and bulky to carry around. Not to pleasant to look at either.
Value for money? Yes
Overall Reaction: I think this is a great idea and I know my kids found it great fun and would pack it for grandparents and then also use it in the car. I have been in situations before when I was not able to have a car seat for a child and I hated it, I love how easy this would be to carry around and use. It goes from a back pack to booster easily. The booster part is certified and I found it sturdy and well made, much better than a lot of booster seats I have came across.
I was also surprised at how much fit inside it. As a back pack it is not to great, the shape makes it awkward to carry and I could see it getting annoying if having to be carried about for a long period of time.

I don't know that I'll truly be able to communicate my feelings about college until a few months have passed. Right now I'm still in Norman with my friends in my house that gives away no mention of the impending move next week. If I try to think past this Saturday, I truly can't picture what life will be like post-grad.
I'll just keep it simple.
Thank you, OU, not for what you offered me, because you weren't perfect, but for being the vessel that brought me relationships that I will cherish forever. Thank you for introducing me to the best people, the most challenging people, the most Christ-like people and the funniest people I have ever met. I will never forget the South Oval in the fall or standing on a football field looking up at 86,000 people or the buzz on campus right before Spring Break or OU/Texas. And I will definitely never forget the goodness of the Lord's plan for me in this place.

As good as it sounds. Honestly, I would move here tomorrow if I could.
So sad to be back in the real world, but life alas has to go back to washing, ironing and entertaining the kids for the remainder of the summer.
On a crafty note, I missed two weeks of chicken soup and thought I would share my layout for recipe #5
Like everyone who lives within an acceptable travel radius of London, we too went on the hunt for the elephants scattered around the city. This recipe was the perfect fit for those elephant photos. I do love multi photo layouts, and I like to keep them pretty simple. Just lots of photos.
I made this into a two pager so that I could cram in even more photos. This is what is looks like with both pages together.

unbeaten and elegant embodiment can be considered as a combination of loose jacket with skinny jeans and heels shoes to a pretty high. Girls who have chosen as the first sporty jackets, should not give up sweet and feminine accessories. Mixing styles is especially true today, so feel free to add in a few bands such stylish details. For example, you can narrow trousers and a bomber-style sports supplement stylish handbag on a long chain or belt, shirts and knitted necklace saturated colors.
jacket is not fancy shoes, so to them in a couple can be selected not only heels. classic jeans, a vest-alcoholic wide shirt or sneakers and stylish will look good in the picture an everyday jacket. sunglasses trendy aviators make the picture more interesting. To ensure maximum comfort get up here as volume and capacious bag.
jacket can also be used in kits, designed in a preppy style. This style skillfully combines elements of casual and smart business. In this case, the bomber can carry in a duet with Laufer, shorts and classic tee. No less stylish and a combination of a jacket with shorts and shoes without heels closed. Not everyone knows that the bomber jacket – a universal thing, so do not be afraid to connect with pencil skirts and short skirts.

So what is a CHK file ? Well, any time a program or Windows crashes, any files that were open are not closed properly. Part of closing is writing all the file location information in all the right places. Without this info, Windows operating system can't find all the parts of the file. When SCANDISK or CHKDISK is run, all the parts are identified as "lost file fragments" and converted (if you want) into CHK files. Face it. Stuff crashes all the time.
If you only run SCANDISK once a month, you get a month's worth of old crash junk. If you were working on (and lost) something important just before a crash, you might want to try to recover any data from any CHK files that exist.
On the other hand, if you aren't in a state of panic over lost data, just delete any CHK files. A handy tip: Keep your disk defragmented. That way if you ever do lose it all, the lost file fragments will be more likely to be complete files
Follow these steps to fix this issue…
- Change the file extension if you know exactly what software or program was lost. This can be done by taking the CHK file (let's call it "Sample.CHK"), and if it was a Word document lost, change the extension to .doc (sample.doc). This will correct and restore the file. However, this will only work if you know the exact file that was lost.
- Download the free CHK file recovery program from http://www.ericphelps.com/uncheck/ Click "UnCHK" or "FileCHK." These are two different CHK recovery files, but they work in the same way. The file will then download as a .zip file.
- Extract the file using WinZip or any other .zip program.
- Open the file once it has been installed. Select a file or drive to scan for CHK files. If you know the file location of the CHK file, select it. If not, have the program scan the entire drive.
- Select the CHK files you want to be restored once the scan is complete and click "Done." The recoverable CHK files will now be restored.

Bridgestone EUROPE
Sep, 18 2012
Bridgestone Corporation held its third annual Bridgestone Global Total Quality Management (TQM) Conference on Friday, September 14, at the company's Global Manufacturing Education Center (G-MEC) building in Kodaira City, Tokyo.
Continuing the tradition from 2010, this year's conference was held with the goal of furthering KAIZEN – improvement or change for the better in Japanese – throughout the global Bridgestone Group. In that context, Bridgestone Europe's Burgos plant (Spain) obtained a TQM award, in particular thanks to the "Open and Close Standard Based Kaizen in Curing department". This initiative aims at higher efficiency based on cycle reduction, through the standardisation of each step of each press operation. This is ensured by a daily control of operations supported by a new system, the "Bridgestone Open and Close Analyser" (BOCA) that automatically collects data to measure and analyse operations, which is an easily transferrable technology.
Bridgestone Global COO, Kazuhisa Nishigai, mentioned during the closing ceremony that he was impressed by the Burgos plant as their activities may achieve performance improvement if shared and implemented by all Bridgestone tyre plants around the globe.
Bridgestone Europe's CEO, Franco Annunziato, and COO, Mike Shimazaki, also expressed their congratulations particularly considering that "this award has been obtained in a difficult economic context in Europe. This achievement stands as solid evidence of the capability and commitment of Bridgestone Europe to turn around the situation through true team work philosophy."
The slogan for this year's event was "Standards are Our Guiding Principle. Throughout the conference, Bridgestone actively implemented KAIZEN through the Genbutsu-Genba Concept" (Decision-Making Based on Verified, On-Site Observations), one of the four foundations of The Bridgestone Essence, the company's corporate philosophy.
Operating sites that received awards:
TQM AwardBridgestone Tire Japan Co., Ltd. (Kanto) Bridgestone Europe NV/SA Burgos Plant (Spain)Bridgestone Corporation Kurume PlantBridgestone Corporation Amagi Plant
Award of Impression Bridgestone Corporation Hofu PlantBridgestone (China) Investment Co., Ltd. Huizhou Plant
Of the 140,000 employees of Bridgestone worldwide, this event was attended by over 300 employees selected for their outstanding work from around the world, including Japan, the United States, Mexico, Spain, China, South Africa, Indonesia and Thailand. A total of 15 improvement activities across various functions, such as production, sales and service were presented. The activities were judged according to how well on-site needs were addressed. Four TQM Awards and two Awards of Impression were handed out at the conference to employees whose improvement activities were deemed to be superior.
The Bridgestone Group will continue to promote quality improvement activities, such as the Bridgestone Global TQM Conference, in accordance with its "Customer First" philosophy of providing superior quality throughout its supply chain.

From: Disarm Now Plowshares Outreach
Subject: Transform Now Plowshares: Let the trial begin!
Sent: May 7, 2013
Dear Friends,
As I write this our dear friends Megan Rice, Michael Walli and Greg Boertje-Obed of the Transform Now Plowshares are in the thick of the second day of their trial in Federal District Court in Knoxville, Tennessee. Yesterday was jury selection. Today they get down to the real business at hand.
Bix travelled back to Knoxville to be with them, and based on the photo I saw of him whooping it up with Sr. Megan during yesterday's street celebration, it should be quite a week.
This trial is NOT - although one might not know it from nearly any of the media coverage - about lax security at a major nuclear weapons production facility (although one might ask questions about that).
It is about the total lack of security provided by the continued pursuit of nuclear weapons. It is about the fundamental immorality of weapons that kill indiscriminately and on a massive scale, and leave a continuous trail of death far into subsequent generations. It is about the fact that it is impossible for nuclear weapons and true human security to co-exist. Nuclear weapons are against all that is human, and do not fit within any moral framework. It is about why the United States continues to consider itself above our own laws, international humanitarian law and treaty obligations. It is about asking questions such as how does the continuing buildup (by the US) of its nuclear weapons infrastructure along with the production of new weapons systems (example: the new generation of ballistic missile submarines in research and development) move us towards a nuclear weapons free world??? It is about whether we will we choose to base our nation (and our world) on a culture of peace or a culture of violence? And nuclear weapons are truly the taproot of violence.
The Transform Now Plowshares has a website/blog where you can keep up with trial developments on a daily basis. While you're at the blog you can sign up (see the upper right hand column) to get updates by email.
Let's hold Greg, Megan and Michael and all who support them through their trial in our thoughts and prayers this week and beyond.
In Peace,

Transportation affects many things in our daily lives, including our health and safety. We have long focused on improving the safety of the region's transportation network and have recently begun looking into how transportation options affect health.
Active transportation, such as walking (including walking to transit) or riding a bike, can help people get more exercise in their daily routines. Not only is this good for physical and mental health, but it also helps reduce traffic congestion and decreases air pollution.
Learn more about how the Mid-Region Metropolitan Planning Organization is working to address health and safety as it relates to transportation by selecting a category on the right.
The transportation system must be safe for all modes. MRMPO analyzes crash data to determine which areas need improvement and produces an Annual Crash and Safety Report that includes crash rate information for the Albuquerque Metropolitan Planning Area.
Note: Although the report is updated annually, it reports on the most recent data available, which is a few years behind the current year.
To provide additional detail about pedestrian and bicycle crashes in Bernalillo County, the MRMPO analyzed information collected by New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Bureau and compiled findings in the following report: Bernalillo County Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Data Analysis 2010-2014. Findings in the report are based on the best information available about the quantity and severity of crashes along with the details such as location, time, date and basic information about the people involved in the crash the report provides. To the best extent possible, details underlying the cause of the crash are also provided by the reported top contributing factor to the crash. Work on the report was done in collaboration with the Healthy Here: Communities Leading Healthy Change Initiative funded in part by the Center for Disease Control.
The 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan reinforces that safe routes to school are a priority for the region. The Safe Routes to School program improves pedestrian and bicycle access to schools so that students have safe and healthy alternatives for getting to school and back. The national Safe Routes to School website has useful information for communities wishing to develop an action plan.
MRMPO can perform Road Safety Audits, which are formal safety performance examinations of existing or future roads or intersections. In cooperation with the City of Albuquerque, we will examine areas that have high levels of pedestrian fatalities and injuries upon request.
The first focus area, Albuquerque's West Central corridor, was audited in conjunction with the West Route 66 Sector Development Plan. The second focus area, the intersection of Central and San Mateo, was audited in conjunction with ABQ Ride prior to the implementation of Albuquerque Rapid Transit (ART).
West Route 66 Road Safety Audit
Central and San Mateo Road Safety Audit
MRMPO recently became involved in assisting with Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) for planning projects. HIAs assess the safety in an area and how it will be affected by a particular project (for example, a sector plan, intersection improvements, etc.)
Read more about Health Impact Assessments.
The Metropolitan Transportation Board passed a Complete Streets resolution in 2011 that directs the creation of a policy and roadway design guidelines. Complete Streets practices ensure roadways are designed for the comfort and safety of all users of all abilities. Additionally, MRMPO revised the Future Albuquerque Area Bikeways and Streets (FAABS) document to include Complete Streets design guidance. The new updated document is the Long Range Transportation System Guide. In addition, MRMPO works with the New Mexico Complete Streets Leadership Team, a statewide education effort.
Complete Streets is a national movement to encourage and ensure that roadways are designed, built and operate to serve everyone - pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and drivers - and that they take into account the needs of people of all abilities including those with disabilities, senior citizens, and children. Several jurisdictions in New Mexico have passed Complete Streets resolutions or adopted policy that encourages or ensures the development of streets that serve all users. The Santa Fe and Las Cruces Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), the Town of Mesilla, Doña Ana County, and the City of Las Cruces.
MRMPO intends to follow the precedent set in southern New Mexico by encouraging the adoption of Complete Streets resolutions and policies in our region. Bernalillo County has already taken steps toward this direction with the adoption of its Pedestrian-Bicyclist Safety Action Plan (2012) which includes a Complete Streets policy and Complete Streets design recommendations. Rio Rancho's Comprehensive Plan includes Complete Streets-related goals, policies and actions and calls for the development of a city-wide Complete Streets Policy. And in 2014 the City of Albuquerque adopted a Complete Streets policy.
Bernalillo County is sponsoring work on Complete Streets through the Healthy Here: Communities Leading Healthy Change Initiative, funded in part by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC as well as many national advocacy groups have identified active transportation policies and design approaches as an effective intervention for reducing obesity and chronic disease. This initiative is intended to provide Complete Streets tools and resources to expand the local knowledge base around Complete Streets and emphasize the health and social benefits of integrating a variety of transportation modes. Below are products of this effort:
To provide additional detail about pedestrian and bicycle crashes in Bernalillo County, the MRMPO analyzed information collected by New Mexico Department of Transportation Traffic Safety Bureau and in September 2016 completed the Bernalillo County Pedestrian and Bicycle Crash Data Analysis 2010-2014. Findings in the report are based on the best information available about the quantity and severity of crashes along with the details such as location, time, date and basic information about the people involved in the crash the report provides. To the best extent possible, details underlying the cause of the crash are also provided by the reported top contributing factor to the crash.

Monitoring pedestrian and bicycle travel is a key step to planning, designing and implementing better active transportation systems at the neighborhood level. It provides baseline data needed to evaluate and understand how our built environment supports, doesn't support or in the worst case is a barrier to walking and bicycling.
This report provides preliminary findings at seven count locations; 3 in the International District and 4 in the South Valley. It includes the numbers of people walking and bicycling along the roadway, their volume fluctuation during the day, their direction of travel and their use of travel lanes, bike lanes and/or sidewalks.
The count locations were chosen to illuminate potential contributing factors influencing non-motorized user volumes and behaviors. In some count locations data was collected both before and after the implementation of roadway improvement and in other count locations data was collected as a baseline for planned future improvements.
Read the Pedestrian and Bicycle Travel Monitoring Report September 2016
This report provides more detail about the 744 pedestrian crashes and 690 bicyclist crashes that occurred between the years of 2008-2011. The report also includes a presentation and an interactive mapping tool that allows viewers to zoom in and see more details as well as select various layers to view such as transit ridership and intersection safety measures.
Some overall highlights from this report include that 50 percent of fatal pedestrian crashes involve an impaired pedestrian and 62 percent of bicycle crashes occur on roadways with no bicycle facilities.
The purpose of this report is to use current data to better understand issues in order to better address pedestrian and bicycle safety.

Space Invaders-Atari 5200 (and XE) D-
Dave gave this game an A and I'm STILL scratching my head (dandruff) trying to figure out why THIS thing got and A and 7800 Pole Position 2 got an F (but then I love SUPER PAC MAN too!) For those who don't know, this game was programmed by Rob Fullop, who also programmed 2600 Missile command and Imagics DEMON ATTACK. This game has a lot in common with DEMON ATTACK. While Rob made the 2600 MC as close to the coin-op as he could, he went the other way on this one, totally ruining the SI experience. Although I LOVE the audio in this game (thump THump THUMP!), the play and graphics are muddled. Instead of using the "classic" invader styles, rob used his own ideas of what an invader should look like. At first this seems like an improvement- the first four waves have two unique sets of invaders, a different monster in each row! Cool! Well, it would be if this trend continued... unfortunately wave five opens up with a bunch of sad looking crab-type aliens AND THE SOUND IS SUDDENLY GONE! WTF?! Even worse at the end of this wave of mutating baddies (they change shape, and can only be hit in their first form) a "mothership" flies down and picks you up and-that's all folks! Yup, from here on out the game repeats THE SINGLE DULLEST WAVE IN THE WHOLE GAME! Did rob think gamers wouldn't get this far? Was he burnt out? Run out of memory? The world may never know.....
Anyway, I also have to say on the 5200 the controls are NOT spot on but tend to wobble a bit. Still, this would be worth playing if different aliens kept appearing ala demon attack. With only two waves that look decent (each repeated twice) and a long stretch of badness after that-I'll stick with the 2600 cart!
