Uchronia is a project initiated by the artists Annie Vigier and Franck Apertet (les gens d'Uterpan) in 2014, which emanates from the analysis of individual or collective attitudes and behaviors produced in the public space of a given city. The word uchronia, used among others by the French philosopher Charles Renouvier in his book Uchronie, l'utopie dans l'histoire (1876), means "non-time," that is, a time that doesn't exist.
In response to the increasing transformation of public spaces into functional areas toward which individuals are guided to fulfill a given activity, the two artists call upon citizens to become uchronists, to infiltrate public life with physical modules coming from daily behaviors, synchronized and adjusted according to context. Contrary to flash mobs or performances, these actions don't address spectators. Passersby are accidentally witnesses, attentive or not, of these presences and gestures that maintain the formal appearance of normality.
More than a comment on the Uchronia project, this publication is thought of as a collective uchronia that infiltrates the book as space of publication, as a public space. According to the protocol proposed by the artists and by the art historian Emanuele Quinz, the contributors have freely occupied different sections of the book (the table of contents, introduction, chapter, illustrations, notes, appendices, etc.). Each section may be illustrated several times, or not at all.

It costs money to be a student. Aside from the tuition and fees that a student must pay to the university, a student must buy books and supplies, pay for transportation to and from school, and cover personal expenses such as meals and housing. Many students and their families are unable to come up with the money needed to cover all of these expenses. To help these students and their families supplement their own resources, financial aid is available.
Financial need is the determining factor and is the crucial criterion for most types of aid. (There are some loan programs for students and parents of students for which need is not a criterion. See the following section on Program Highlights for the various options available. Some scholarships do not include need as a criterion.)
So what is need? Need is the difference between what it costs to go to college and what the student and family can afford to contribute towards those costs.
The basic financial aid formula:
What It Costs to Attend
- What the Student and Family Can Pay
= Financial Need
Students are generally eligible to receive assistance through financial aid in the amount up to their financial need.
Grants and Scholarships. Grants and scholarships are awards of money that do not have to be paid back. Grants are usually awarded to students with need. Scholarships have varying criteria which may or may not include financial need. Often scholarships are rewards for academic achievement.
Work-Study. The Work-Study program enables students to earn money from part-time jobs on campus and off campus at approved non-profit organizations.
Loans. Loans are funds that have to be paid back, usually after a student has graduated or left school. Students are asked to complete entrance and exit interview requirements if they choose to borrow money through the student loan programs.
The Office of Student Financial Aid may award a student a combination of grants, loans, and work in order to meet the student's need. At SFSU, financial aid funds are provided by the federal government and the State of California. The university scholarships are generally gifts from individuals and organizations.
In order to determine what the student and family can pay towards the student's educational expenses, the student must apply for financial aid. A nationally established formula computes the family's contribution using information regarding the family's income, assets, and number of family members in college. For a student who is considered to be dependent, the student and the parents complete the application. For students considered to be independent, the student and spouse (if married) complete the application.
The first step in applying for financial aid is to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it to the Federal Student Aid Programs beginning in January and by the priority date of March 2nd prior to the upcoming academic year. The FAFSA is available over the Internet at www.fafsa.ed.gov and from high schools and college financial aid offices. In order for SFSU to receive an electronic copy of the FAFSA, the student must include "San Francisco State University" and the code number "001154" on the college release section of the FAFSA.
About four weeks after the student submits the FAFSA, the student will receive a document called the Student Aid Report, and SFSU will receive the electronic copy of the FAFSA. SFSU will notify the student to submit verification documents if necessary. Verification documents may include the IRS tax forms and documentation of household size.
The FAFSA is the basic application for all types of aid. Some grants, fellowships, and scholarships require an additional application and have different deadlines. See the Program Highlights section below for details.
To receive federal student aid, a student must be a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the U.S.; must be enrolled in an academic program leading to a degree or certificate; must not owe a repayment on any previous federal and/or state grant; must be in good standing on previous student loans; and must have a social security number. Additionally, to receive state aid, a student must be a resident of California.
To continue to receive financial aid at SFSU, students must complete in a semester the number of units required for the aid that they received. They must remain in good academic standing with the university. Undergraduate students are eligible to receive aid only until they receive a bachelor's degree or earn a maximum of 175 units; graduate students are eligible to receive aid only until they earn their degree or earn 75 semester units. Students who change their majors/minors, who are pursuing double majors/minors, or who are attempting second baccalaureates will be held to the same maximum time frame.
Each year the Office of Student Financial Aid establishes standard budgets to reflect the expenses for students attending SFSU for the nine-month academic year. The budgets differ for students living with their parents and for students living in campus housing or in off-campus housing. The standard budgets used for 2001-2002 are detailed below (undergraduates only). Non-resident students pay $282 per academic unit plus resident fees.
Student Expenses for Nine Months2001-02
For Students Enrolled in Seven or More Units
|At Home with Parents
|On- or Off-Campus Housing
|Resident Fees* (non-resident students pay $282 per academic unit plus resident fees)
|Meals and Housing

*Undergraduates only.
The Federal Pell Grant Program is a federal aid program for undergraduate students and students in teaching credential programs with exceptional need. Grants range from $400 to $3,750 per academic year. Enrollment requirement: full time = 12 units; three-quarter time = 9-11 units; half time = 6-8 units. Award is prorated depending upon enrollment.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is a federal program which provides aid to undergraduate students with exceptional financial need. Annual awards at SFSU range from $100 to $750.
The State University Grant is a grant for students who are California residents, who pay state resident fees, and who have exceptional financial need. This grant is awarded to undergraduates and graduates in amounts based on the amount of resident fees they are required to pay. Annual awards for 2001-02 range from $828 to $1,584.
The Educational Opportunity Program Grant (EOP) is a grant provided by the State of California for undergraduate students admitted to the university through the Educational Opportunity Program. EOP students must have financial need and must be enrolled full time to receive the grant. Awards range from $100 to $1,000 for the academic year, depending on the availability of funds and the need of the students.
The California Student Aid Commission awards grants to students who are California residents. For new applicants, the deadline to apply for the different programs is March 2nd prior to the upcoming academic year (for example, for the 2002-03 academic year, the deadline is March 2, 2002). In addition to the FAFSA, a Grade Point Average (GPA) Verification form must be submitted to the commission by the March 2nd deadline. More information about the grants discussed below can be provided by high school counselors, financial aid offices, and the California Student Aid Commission at www.csac.ca.gov or (916) 526-7590.
Presidential Scholars Program. San Francisco State University is pleased to offer this special program for a select group of newly admitted freshmen each Fall. This is the most distinguished academic award the university can bestow on an entering undergraduate student. Selection as a Scholar is determined on academic merit (minimum GPA of 3.8) and carries a renewable scholarship that is equivalent to a full year of university academic fees (currently $1,826 per year).
Scholars become part of a small, close-knit group at San Francisco State. Special seminars, mentoring, and chances to take some classes as a group make the Scholars program an academic enrichment opportunity that helps develop the student's intellectual talents to the fullest. This program offers the personal attention that is expected only in a small college together with the range of academic programs, academic facilities, and faculty expertise that only a major university can offer.
The Graduate Equity Fellowship provides assistance and recognition to selected underrepresented graduate students entering the first year of their master's degree program. Grants may range up to $1,500 per academic year. A fellowship applicant must be a member of an underrepresented group. General information is available from the Graduate Division.
Alan Pattee Scholarship. Pursuant to the Alan Pattee Scholarship Act, Education Code, Section 68120, children of deceased public law enforcement or fire suppression employees who were California residents and who were killed in the course of law enforcement or fire suppression duties are not charged mandatory systemwide fees or tuition of any kind at any California State University campus. Students who may qualify for these benefits should contact the Admissions/Registrar's Office for an eligibility determination.
University Administered Scholarships are awarded to students based on academic achievement and financial need. A separate application is required for scholarships directly administered through the Office of Student Financial Aid. Some academic departments on campus also have university scholarships. Students should check with the college or department office about other scholarship opportunities.
Outside Scholarships. The Office of Student Financial Aid has information on some outside scholarships. Students are encouraged to contact organizations such as Marin Educational Foundation, parent-teacher groups, community service organizations, employers, etc. for scholarship information. Reference desks in university and public libraries also provide scholarship resource materials.
The Federal Work-Study Program provides employment opportunities to both graduate and undergraduate students with financial need. Work-Study positions are available both on-campus and off-campus with certified non-profit agencies. Students may work a maximum of twenty hours per week. The salary scale ranges from $6.42 to $14.24 per hour. A Work-Study award is not a cash award like a loan or a grant. To use a Work-Study award, a student must find a Work-Study job with a certified Work-Study employer; then the student will receive a monthly paycheck. It is recommended that students seek employment as early as possible because jobs are limited and a Work-Study award is not a guarantee of employment.
The Federal Perkins Loan is a federal program providing long-term, low interest loans to both undergraduate and teaching credential students who are enrolled full time. Awards at SFSU depend upon the availability of funds and generally range from $300 to $2,000 per academic year. Interest of 5% begins nine months from the date the borrower is no longer enrolled at least half time. Repayment, at a minimum rate of $90 quarterly, begins three months after interest starts to accrue. Information regarding deferments, cancellations, and repayment provisions is provided on the loan promissory note. An entrance interview is required for all first-time borrowers at SFSU.
The William D. Ford Federal Direct Student Loan Program (FDSL) has two components--the subsidized loan and the unsubsidized loan. The Subsidized Loan is available to students who have financial aid eligibility. The interest is paid by the federal government while the student is in school. The Unsubsidized Loan is available to students who have limited or no financial aid eligibility or who need to borrow an additional amount of loan. The interest on an unsubsidized loan must be paid by the student while enrolled in school, and during any grace or in-school deferment periods. A student may choose to have the interest deferred, which adds the deferred interest to the principle. This is called capitalization. Having the interest capitalized will mean larger monthly payments when the student begins repayment.
The FDSL maximums vary depending on the student's class level and dependency status.
Dependent Students
|Academic Year
|Maximum FDSL Sub. & Unsub.
|Junior, Senior
Independent Students
|Academic Year
|Maximum FDSL Sub. & Unsub.
|$ 6,625
|Junior, Senior
|Classified Graduate
For all Federal Direct Student Loans, the interest rate is variable and is dependent upon the 91-day Treasury bill, plus 3.1 percent with a cap of 8.25 percent. An origination and an insurance fee totaling 1.5 percent will be deducted from the loan amount before the disbursement. For example, a $5,500 loan will produce $5,417 in revenue to the student.
Loan repayment begins at the end of a six-month period after the student leaves school or ceases to be enrolled on at least a half-time basis. If the student is enrolled less than half time, she/he is considered to be in grace period. Various loan repayment options are available. An entrance interview is required for all first-time borrowers.
Parent Loans (PLUS) provides loans through banks and other participating lending institutions for parents of dependent students. Financial need is not a factor in determining a parent's eligibility for this loan program. The interest rate is variable, from 9% to 12%. Interest begins to accrue when the loan is disbursed. Repayment begins 60 days after the loan is disbursed. The loan limit for Parent Loans is equal to the student's budget less financial aid awarded.
Short-Term Loans are available for a maximum of $500 on a 30-day repayment basis. The purpose of the short-term loan is to help students with unanticipated expenses which are school-related. Students may pick up an application from the Bursar's Office.
Students should call, write, or visit the Office of Student Financial Aid--(415) 338-7000, e-mail: email@example.com they have questions or for individual help. Counselors are available to assist students in person or at the phones during office hours.
Office hours: Monday-Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
In addition, our Financial Aid Voice Response System [FAVoRS (415) 338-7000] allows a student to check on his/her financial aid application status using a touch tone telephone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The cracks are showing in the battle line that opinion makers tell us the GOP is presenting this election season. Some Christian conservatives are criticizing the party's support for an openly gay politician from Massachusetts.
"It is a shame that we have to fight our own party to keep our constitutional, representative republic from being completely removed from life support by political death panels of both parties," conservative blogger ScottFactor wrote recently.
MassResistance, a virulently anti-gay group based in Waltham, Mass., is furious that the National Republican Congressional Committee is donating large sums to Richard Tisei's campaign. The openly gay Tisei, 50, is running against Rep. John Tierney in the general election to represent Massachusetts' Sixth Congressional District.
"In Massachusetts, Richard Tisei is known as an openly 'gay' liberal Republican politician who ran for lieutenant governor in 2010," MassResistance's Brian Camenker complains on his group's website. "Prior to that, as a state senator, among other things he worked to successfully block the people's right to vote on the Marriage Amendment." (In fact, observers agree that the bill never had a chance of moving out of the state's heavily Democratic and generally liberal legislature.)
What really rankles Camenker, however, is that, in his words, "Tisei is the only Republican congressional candidate in Massachusetts to receive such support from the national Republican Congressional campaign!" He goes on to claim that Tisei, a former state senator, is on the left of fiscal and social issues as a supporter of LGBT rights and abortion. He also opposed lowering taxes while a state legislator.
Tisei burst on the state's hotbed of politics when he ran for the open 22nd Middlesex district seat to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1984. When he won against Democrat Donald Flanagan, he became the youngest Republican ever elected to the Massachusetts House.
In 2010, when he was named Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, he publicly announced that he was gay. Tisei and the top of the ticket, Charlie Baker, lost the race in the general election, in the face of an overwhelmingly Democratic electorate that preferred Deval Patrick. That position, of course, was the springboard to national politics for another Republican, Mitt Romney.
MassResistance is trying to spread the word on Tisei's "passionate support" for marriage equality. "He brags that he fought to make it 'legal' in Massachusetts," the group's website proclaims. "He believes it's a civil right that must be granted across America." The site also points out he appeared in a video made by MassEquality to promote gay marriage.
On Tisei, Barney Is, As Usual, Frank
It seems that Tisei just can't win. Along with fire from the Right, he has come under nearly as withering criticism from some on the Left.
"Tisei takes an evolutionary rather than revolutionary approach to gay rights and the congressional agenda," the Washington Post wrote.
Mass. Rep. Barney Frank has taken issue quite publicly and forcibly with Tisie as well. The retiring openly gay House member has argued that Tisei's election would, in fact, set back gay rights efforts.
''The fact that Richard Tisei is openly gay is a good thing,'' Frank told the Associated Press reported.
''The problem is that it is of no use to us.''
Frank, who is supporting fellow Democrat Tierney in the Sixth Congressional District race, says that Tisei's first order of business would be to keep Republican Rep. John Boehner as House Speaker. Boehner has a history of opposing gay rights. He opposed a 1996 repeal of the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which prevents health and other benefits to gay couples; the end of the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy; and passage of the Employment Nondiscrimination Act.
''If he is helping them keep the majority that is irrelevant because the bill will not come up,'' Frank said.
Tisei insists he will be a strong supporter of LGBT rights, and that LGBT Americans need to be active in both major political parties to make their presence felt and their issues heard.
''As a gay person, we will never have true equality until we have people on both sides of the aisle who are willing to stand up for the concept that everybody should be treated fairly under the law.'' Tisei said. ''I am sort of a trailblazer in a way. I am at the beginning of a movement. There are a lot of people who are excited that the first openly gay Republican could be elected to Congress.''
In a response to the Washington Post's criticism, he noted, "If I'm in the [Republican] caucus, people are going to see me, they're going to get to know me. Just the fact that I'm there, is going to make a lot of people question, or think about the issue differently. Rather than poking somebody in the eye, the best way to deal with it is to let them evolve. I've seen all kinds of people, Democrats and Republicans, change their opinions of it over time."

Gulf oil spill still a threat to seafood, JAMA study indicates
The Gulf of Mexico oil spill still poses threats to human health and seafood safety, according to a study published Monday by the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association.
The report comes two days after President Obama and members of his family swam in the Gulf at Panama City Beach and ate fish caught there, and hours after this year's commercial shrimping season officially kicked off along the Louisiana coast.
Federal officials disputed the new report and said ongoing testing is aggressive and sufficient to protect public health.
In the short term, study co-author Gina Solomon voiced greatest concern for shrimp, oysters, crabs and other invertebrates she says are have difficulty clearing their systems of dangerous polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) similar to those found in cigarette smoke and soot. Solomon is an MD and public health expert in the department of medicine at the University of California at San Francisco.
In the longer term, she expressed worries about big fin fish such as tuna, swordfish and mackerel, saying levels of mercury from the oil might slowly increase over time by being consumed by fish lower in the food chain and becoming concentrating in the larger fish.
As time goes on, she said, doctors may be warning pregnant women and children to strictly limit the amount of such fish they eat. Some of the fish had relatively high levels of mercury even before the oil spill, she said.
"It's like iron filings to a magnet," she said. "Several years from now the concentration will go up in fish at the top of the food chain -- tuna, mackerel, swordfish."
Solomon said she based her new report on studies from past oil spills including the Exxon Valdez event off Alaska in 1989, plus her own monitoring of current Gulf data from the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration. She also is a member of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), which calls itself "the nation's most effective environmental action group." Solomon's co-author is Sarah Janssen, MD, a staff scientist with the NRDC.
FDA officials disagreed with Solomon's fears about PAHs.
"We don't agree that's currently a problem,'' said Vicki Seyfert-Margolis, from the office of the chief scientist of the FDA. She said federal officials have a "mussel watch'' program to test for such contamination in all shellfish, and so far it has not found any problems.
As each Gulf area is reopened for fin fish harvest, she said, officials are testing shellfish separately, approving various species only as studies are completed, she said.
For example, shrimp harvesting was reopened off Pensacola on Monday, she said.
Crabs and oysters take longer to test and clear because people eat the entire animal including the liver, where toxins can accumulate, while almost no one eats the liver of a fish, she said.
Seyfert-Margolis agreed that testing must continue for fin fish to make sure toxins don't build up in the future. Such testing will begin if similar early problems come up in the mussel-watch program, she said.
"We have the ability to test it in fin fish. We can study it as long as necessary,'' she said.
Concerning the human effects of the oil spill, Solomon says: "The good news is that the levels of benzene, the most dangerous chemical from oil, have been quite low. It's not likely there's a long-term risk from inhaled vapors for coastal residents.''
She went on: "For oil workers it might be a different story. The people out there deploying boom and burning the oil have been exposed to higher levels of vapor.''
She decried the lack of studies of long-term health effects of past spills such as the Exxon Valdez accident. But she said that on Tuesday the National Institutes of Health will announce a long-term health study of 20,000 Gulf workers and residents.
She pointed to a study of 858 cleanup workers in the 2002 oil spill by the tanker Prestige off the coast of Spain that found DNA damage, although Spanish health officials have said it was not permanent.
On Aug. 10, another 5,144 square miles of Gulf waters were reopened to commerecial and recreational finfish fishing by NOAA, the EPA and the FDA. It reduced the part of the Gulf still closed to 22 percent, from a peak of 37 percent.
NOAA said chemical analysis of 153 fin fish including grouper, snapper, tuna and mahi mahi found contaminants ``well below the levels of concern.'' Also, fish and shellfish harvested from areas unaffected by the closures are considered safe to eat, the FDA said.
"We are confident that Gulf fish from this area is safe to eat,'' said NOAA administrator Jane Lubchenco at the time.
Over the weekend, FDA tests also cleared shrimp from Louisiana's Barataria Bay, making possible the opening of shrimping season there, the Associated Press said. Crabs and oysters, the slowest to metabolize toxins, have not yet been cleared. NOAA will continue sampling, including at dockside.
"We're not going anywhere,'' said Lubchenco.
"I'm not disputing the reopenings,'' Solomon said. ``Many areas of the Gulf are quite likely safe for fishing. But what's true now might change in the future.''
Ronald Kendall, chairman of Texas Tech University's Department of Environmental Toxicology, agreed that PAHs can be a problem.
"They can accumulate in shellfish, and some can be carcinogenic. On the other hand, they are testing a lot for them.''
Kendall tested a small sample of shellfish from the Louisiana coast with gas chromatography on Monday for the ABC News program Good Morning America and said he found all to be clean.
But he added that, while oysters are stationary, shrimp can move about. And so can oil.
"So we must continue to monitor this very closely. Shellfish may be clear now, but in two months maybe not, depending on how the oil moves. You can't just test once and stop. There's a lot of oil in the Gulf, and we don't know where it all is.''
Kendall also agreed that toxins could build up in large fin fish.
"That's another reason we need to keep testing.'' Asked about the Obamas swimming and eating fish in Panama City, Solomon said: ``There are areas along the Gulf Coast that are safe for swimming and fishing. They were in one area that's considered safe. But people all across the Gulf Coast shouldn't assume that if it's safe where the president swam, it's safe where they live.''
People should avoid waters with any trace of oil, she said.
"Use your own eyes. If you see tar balls, oily sheen, don't go in the water. If you're eating fish, make sure they come from an area that's open for fishing and you get it from a reputable fish market or restaurant. If there's any oily smell, don't eat it.''
In her report, Solomon cites a 2002 study in the peer-reviewed journal Marine Environmental Research of the effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill that concluded: "Our data show that 10 years after the spill, nearshore fishes within the original spill zone were still exposed to residual hydrocarbons. All biomarkers [for contaminants] were elevated in fish collected from sites originally oiled, in comparison to fish from unoiled sites.''
Lead author of the Exxon Valdez study was Stephen Jewett of the School of Fisheries & Ocean Sciences at University of Alaska.

In-state rivals UMBC and UMES meet for the first time since 2005 in the Retrievers' final home game prior to four straight on the road. The game also features teacher versus student as former UMBC assistant and Howard head coach Frankie Allen returns to the RAC Arena to match up against his former player/assistant Aki Thomas. Tip-off time is set for 7:00 p.m. and Gary Stein and Paul Mittermeier bring fans all the play-by-play action on Q1370 radio or www.q1370.com. The game will also be streamed on www.umbcretrievers.tv.
RETRIEVER UPDATE: After playing an NCAA-record tying four consecutive overtime games, UMBC (2-5) has shot under 30 percent from the floor combined in losses at Navy and Towson. Senior wing Chase Plummer scored in double figures for the fifth consecutive game at Towson on Nov. 26 and led the visitors with 17 points. He needs two points to become the 15th Retriever to score 1,100 in a career. Freshman guard Rodney Elliottcontinues to lead the Retrievers in scoring, now at 13.4 points per game.
HAWK UPDATE: UMES (2-3) is 2-0 at home and 0-3 on the road this season. In their last outing, the Hawks dropped a 67-59 decision at Navy on Nov. 26. Guards KyRee Jones (18.3 ppg) and Hakeem Baxter (15.0 ppg) form a dynamic backcourt. Jones, who led UMES with 16 points at Navy, has buried 14 treys in four outings to date. UMES defeated Mount St. Mary's, 78-71 on Nov. 20.
A LOOK BACK: The last time these teams met, current assistant coach and then-senior forward John Zito posted scored 23 points and added 14 rebounds as host UMBC opened the 2005-06 season with a 75-65 win over Maryland Eastern Shore. Zito had secured his third career double-double by halftime with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
UMES took its final lead at 42-41 on an Antonio McMillion three-pointer with 13:41 to play. But then UMBC went on a decisive 14-0 run over the next four minutes to take a 55-42 lead with 9:34 to play. Current assistant coach and then freshman guard Jay Greene made his UMBC debut Greene by tallying 16 points, including 10-of-10 from the charity stripe, all in the second half.
UMES head coach Frankie Allen spent three years on the bench at UMBC, culminating in the Retrievers' NCAA appearance in the 2007-08 season. Allen and Aki Thomas shared the sidelines that season as Thomas made his debut on the coaching staff during that historic run for the Retrievers.
UP NEXT: UMBC has a busy week, travelling to Pittsburgh for a Dec. 4 match-up at Duquesne, before heading back to Pennsylvania for a Dec. 7 contest at Lehigh.

Hey, what is with all the Coke blogging lately? I don't watch TV, so I don't know what is causing this. Is there a new ad campaign on?
Some people take this cola stuff very seriously, and get upset if they can't get the brand they want. I don't understand this, because I am one of those people who can't taste the difference. Maybe I'd be able to tell if I had the two drinks together, but if you put one in front of me I couldn't tell you which one it was without looking at the container.
I drink Pepsi more often, but it's only because I don't have to reach down to get it. I always drink caffene-free, and at the nearby Sheetz the cold caffene-free Pepsi is at eye level and the caffene-free Coke is a few shelves down. I'd have to bend slightly to get the Coke. If they moved the Coke up and the Pepsi down, I'd probably become a Coke drinker. If the two were on the same level I might keep buying Pepsi out of habit, or I might buy whichever brand was closer to my hand once I pulled the door open. I suppose we'd need to set up a controlled experiment to find the truth. (Actually, I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that a great deal of money was being spent studying this very problem. Fickle, apathetic customers like me are the worst.)
I will hand them this, Coke has the best ads:

MLB 'Actively Going After' Players Linked to Miami Clinic Named In PED Investigation
actively going after" players who were named in a newspaper report on Miami-based clinic Biogenesis, including Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun. The warning came a day after Detroit Tigers minor league pitcher Cesar Carrillo was suspended 100 games for violating the minors' drug prevention and treatment program. It was later revealed that Carrillo was linked to the clinic.
A Miami New Times report released earlier this year alleged that the clinic supplied performance enhancing drugs to MLB players. It named Braun, Rodriguez, Melky Cabrera, Nelson Cruz, Gio Gonzalez, Jhonny Peralta, Bartolo Colon, Jesus Montero and others as players who may have been supplied with PEDs by the clinic.
Carrillo was disciplined for being included in the Biogenesis records and for lying to the league about his involvement. The league was able to pursue action against Carrillo more fully because he was not protected by the MLB Players' Union. The MLBPA is expected to staunchly defend Braun, Rodriguez and other major leaguers who may be investigated or threatened with discipline.

VIDEO & REVIEW: Disney On Ice is a real Passport To Adventure at Sheffield FlyDSA Arena
Get your skates on...Disney On Ice is back at Sheffield FlyDSA Arena until Sunday - November 19, 2017 - and like the name of this year's show it's a real Passport To Adventure.
TICKETS: Prices are £20.16 to £51.52, bought at www.flydsaarena.co.uk or by calling 0114 256 56 56. Purchased in person at the Box Office they are £18.90 to £48.30. All include booking fee.
VIDEO: Watch show highlights including exclusive footage from the opening night in Sheffield and find out what families thought of the show in Graham Walker's special video report above.
EXCLUSIVE BACKSTAGE TOUR: Disney on Ice gave us an exclusive Facebook Live backstage tour at Sheffield FlyDSA Area - you can now also watch it back here on our YouTube embedded video or CLICK HERE.
Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald, Goofy and Daisy on a journey across the globe, to meet up with old friends from very corner of the earth, writes Nik Farah.
First on the itinerary is a visit to the African Pride Lands where we catch up with Simba and friends.
We see the little Lion Prince, and his best friend Nala, grow from being young cubs, running around playing together - in I Just Can't Wait To Be King - to adults exploring their feelings for one another in the classic Can You Feel The Love Tonight?
The jumps, lifts and incredible iconic head-banger were a real treat, as was Timon and Pumbas's fantastic rendition of Hakuna Matata.
Next stop is London, where we met the Darling family, before flying off to Neverland for a bout of swashbuckling adventure with Peter Pan.
Everybody was delighted as Tinkerbell's pixie dust saw the cast fly high over the arena floor, and cheered loudly when, at the end, Captain Hook was engulfed in an enormous crocodile's grin.
After a short interval, we begin the voyage to Ariel's underwater kingdom for one of my personal favourite numbers, Under The Sea, with a whole host of brightly coloured sea creatures taking to the ice alongside seahorses, starfish and the fantastic Sebastian and Flounder.
The haunting moment Ursula steals Ariel's voice is beautifully done and, despite a few shrieks from nearby children when a giant inflatable Ursula appears, it isn;t long before Ariel is reunited with Eric, and the evil sea hag is sent back to where she came from.
The show ends with a terrific visit to Arendell to see everybody's favourite Frozen sisters - and Olaf! - locked in a battle of ice and snow - with love the ultimate winner.
A magical evening, this show is a real Passport to Adventure. Go see it.

While attending a show at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, Waltham resident Scott Edmiston read that the Underground Railway Theater would be staging esteemed playwright Tony Kushner's adaptation of the children's opera, "Brundibar." The announcement caught Edmiston's attention and stirred his imagination.
As director of the office of the arts at Brandeis University, Edmiston had the chance to spend a day with Kushner when the "Angels in America" playwright received an honorary doctorate from the university in 2006.
"I think he's our greatest living American playwright," says Edmiston, and then he chuckles, adding, "and I say that hoping not to offend other great playwrights out there."
Reading the "Brundibar" announcement at the theater, Edmiston thought, "Gosh, I wonder who gets to direct that?"
The answer turned out to be Scott Edmiston. When asked by Debra Wise, artistic director of Underground Railway Theater, if he'd like to direct it, Edmiston jumped. The show, which is performed with Kushner's short companion piece, "But the Giraffe!" runs March 6 to April 6 at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge.
Edmiston was so enthusiastic about the opportunity that he may have leapt before he looked. He soon found himself confronted with many logistical challenges. In fact, about 36 of them. That's how many kids are involved in this production of "Brundibar," a "fairy tale opera" about two penniless kids who must confront an evil organ grinder in order to raise money to buy milk for their ailing mother.
The young actors, ages 8 to 17, are part of a training program that's connected with the production. There are two different casts of 18 kids, performing in alternate shows.
"I didn't really think about how complicated the logistics would be," says Edmiston, who isn't content to herd the kids like cats through the staging. "I really want them to bring their creative ideas to it. I want to allow both versions of the show to have their own distinct personality."
Edmiston knows that good theatrical experiences at this age can be life changing. He was in fourth grade when a great teacher began to instill a love of theater in him.
"I want this to be a creative, educational experience for them," he says. "I want to make sure the kids remember it, and maybe they'll be transformed by it. That's what some teachers did for me, and I'd like to return the favor, pay it forward."
Besides, the kids are far more than just a numbers problem; they're a resource, perhaps even unlikely mentors, for theater pros like Edmiston (director of more than 50 Boston-area shows and a multi-award-winner) and the adult professional actors in the cast, such as Jeremiah Kissel and Debra Wise.
"Kids have a great capacity to imagine themselves in fictional circumstances," says Edmiston. "Adult actors have a technique that they've acquired through education and experience, but the goal of all that is to try to get to a place where they can realistically project themselves into a fictional experience. But children can already do that naturally and quickly."
Edmiston was reminded of that difference when he was discussing the play with the adult actors, who described "Brundibar" with words such as "surreal," "dreamlike" and "abstract." But when Edmiston talked with kids about the play, they thought it was "very realistic."
"We, as adults, have to get to that place," says Edmiston.
The reality of "Brundibar" is grim, better suited, in the telling, to the waxy veneer of a fairy tale than the brutal truth that shaped and defined it.
"Brundibar" was written by Hans Krasa and Adolf Hoffmeister in 1938, on the cusp of World War II. The opera was first performed at an orphanage in 1942; many of the children in the cast had been separated from their parents by the war. By July 1943, nearly all the children in the original chorus as well as orphanage staff and the composer, Krasa, had been transported to the concentration camp in Terezin.
And that's where "Brundibar" premiered in 1943, a team of children and adults uniting to make something beautiful in the center of something ugly. The opera itself is an act of defiance, a story of how those who are helpless can triumph over tyranny, as the two poor kids thwart the evil organ grinder. It's a happy ending that eluded those involved in the production at Terezin, where most of them – the composer, director, and many of the musicians and children – were murdered in the gas chambers.
Asked if the sad history of "Brundibar" hangs over rehearsals, Edmiston replies, "Not as much as you might think. Once you get up and start rehearsing it, you're in a fairy tale. You don't feel the history of it so much. It transports you. That's part of the beauty of it. This little opera helped transport people out of their dire situation. It lifted them up. There's a joy to this opera. Yes, there's the shadow of loss, but it's also a story about how theater and art can sustain us."

While attending a show at the Central Square Theater in Cambridge, Waltham resident Scott Edmiston read that the Underground Railway Theater would be staging esteemed playwright Tony Kushner's adaptation of the children's opera, "Brundibar." The announcement caught Edmiston's attention and stirred his imagination.

Greening Your Yard and Garden Accessories
One of the great benefits of an environmentally friendly garden is spending time in it simply relaxing and enjoying the chair-side view of nature. After all, nature is what environmentalism is all about. As you add amenities to your garden, consider these tips to keep it eco-friendly:
Furnishings: If you choose wooden tables and chairs, make sure that the wood is from sustainable sources and not from tropical hardwood. Consider buying wooden furniture that has the Forest Stewardship Council's stamp on it, certifying that it's made from wood from sustainable, responsibly managed forests. Also keep in mind that wooden furniture needs to be treated to keep it from rotting when it's left out in the rain, and the treatment often involves toxic chemicals; make sure that the furniture you buy is treated with a nontoxic preservative such as linseed oil, and use such products for future retreatment.
Check that plastic furniture is made from recycled plastic. Metal garden furniture is more likely to be made from new materials, so if you go this route, check that your local recycling service will take it when its life is over.
Lighting: Put candles, which are very effective in the garden, into glass containers to shield them from wind and rain; you can make your own lanterns from glass bottles or jars. A green alternative is to install lights with solar-powered bulbs that build up energy from the sun during the day and then release it at night to light your garden.
Outdoor cooking: If you use charcoal, make sure it's made from renewable wood, and don't buy oil- or gas-based charcoal starter fuel — these aren't good for the environment or your food.
Whether you burn wood, natural gas, electricity, or propane in your outdoor stove or barbecue, you create greenhouse gas emissions. Go with the greenest possible fuel source: electricity from renewable sources such as wind, solar, or hydro power or wood (which itself is renewable).
Outdoor heaters: Although it would be great to spend time in your outdoor living space year-round, using an outdoor heater that burns gas or uses electricity not only sends your bills skyward but also adds to the amount of carbon dioxide you release into the atmosphere. Wood-burning fire pits, chimineas, and outdoor chimneys all release carbon dioxide as well. Talk to your supplier about whether you can burn eco-logs (manufactured fireplace logs that release far fewer emissions) in the appliances.
If you decide to buy a gas or electric patio heater, don't leave it on when you're not using it, and make sure that if you're heating the outside space, your lights and heat are turned off inside your home to reduce your energy use as much as possible.

A young woman is caught between the two changing worlds of the old Newfoundland and the new, between a harsh mother who sees life as duty and drudgery, and an artist "from away" who captures her imagination and opens her heart. Duley, a novelist in pre-confederation Newfoundland, a rarity in itself, wrote larger than life characters you will long remember. This is high melodrama at its best.

Wallace Stevens
The hero of Wallace Stevens's poetry is the human imagination. Like Emily Dickinson's, Stevens's sedate and uneventful outer life concealed a lush and adventurous inner one. Such adventures were for Stevens not an escape from reality but a journey toward a new reality. Although Stevens was no philosopher--he was a bold and brilliant poet--he explored the workings of the human mind with a precision philosophers might envy.
Listen to Stevens read "The Idea of Order at Key West." In addition, this site contains a biography, a bibliography, and some of Stevens's most well-known poems.
From a priest's letter about Stevens's alleged deathbed conversion to Catholicism to excerpts from Stevens's correspondence with his Cuban friend Jose Rodriguez Feo, University of Pennsylvania Professor Alan Filreis's site contains fascinating material about the poet and his work.
Feigning With the Strange Unlike
View photographs of Stevens, his family, his home, and his place of employment at Middle Tennessee State University Professor David Lavery's "Feigning With the Strange Unlike" site. The site also contains other intriguing Stevens-related material such as an unpublished play about Stevens and Charles Ives.
For a fine selection of Stevens reading Stevens, go to HarperAudio's site on the poet. You'll hear "The Poem That Took the Place of a Mountain," "Vacancy in the Park," and others.

In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day I made these savory potato pancakes for breakfast this morning. With the luck of Google I found a great recipe and veganized it.
Irish Potato Pancakes
adapted from chow
3-4 large potatoes
3/4 cup soy milk
1 1/4 tsp sea salt
1 flax egg replacement
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1-2 tbsp earth balance butter
I did everything the same as this recipe, except I didn't put them in the oven. I used my trusty cast iron pan and had it on low heat.I let them cook for a longer amount of time.
Happy St.Patrick's Day!

Toll From Washington State Mudslide Rises To 37
Send a link to a friend
[April 16, 2014]
By Jonathan Kaminsky
OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) — The
official death toll from a mudslide that buried a river valley
neighborhood in the Cascade foothills of Washington state last month
rose to 37 on Tuesday, after search teams extricated another body from
the mud and rubble.
A rain-soaked hillside collapsed above the north fork of the
Stillaguamish River on March 22, unleashing a torrent of mud that
swallowed up a stretch of a state highway and some three dozen homes
on the outskirts of the tiny community of Oso.
Of the 37 people confirmed dead, 36 have been positively identified,
most recently a 14-year-old boy on Friday, Snohomish County
officials said in a statement. The death toll stood at 36 on Monday.
Recovery crews were still searching for another seven people listed
as missing. Their efforts in recent days have benefited from dry
weather, a welcome change from periods of rain that have caused
treacherous conditions and raised the risk of more slides and flash
President Barack Obama has plans to visit Oso next week to view the
disaster site and meet with survivors and grieving relatives of the
victims, as well as first responders and recovery workers.
No one has been pulled alive from the rubble since the hours
immediately following the mudslide, when at least eight people
suffered injuries. Rescue teams have found no signs of life since
the day of the disaster.
The search continues to produce daily accounts of grief and loss. On
Tuesday, a U.S. Army soldier who took leave to search for missing
family members believed to have been buried in the muddy rubble was
found dead of an apparent suicide, authorities said.
[to top of second column]
Specialist Christopher Dombroski, 20, was found in the Capitol State
Forest just west of Olympia, having suffered what appeared to be a
self-inflicted gunshot wound, said Thurston County Sheriff's Office
spokesman Greg Elwin.
Dombroski was the nephew of Steve and Theresa Harris, who are among
the seven people listed as missing in the mudslide, said Lieutenant
Colonel Joe Sowers, an Army spokesman.
The soldier, who had served one tour in Afghanistan, was granted
time off from work at the 7th Infantry Division at Joint Base
Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle, to help search for victims of the
slide, Sowers said.

The folks at 53 make one of my favorite apps ever - Paper. Today, Paper launched the latest version of the app featuring a rather amazing implementation of color.
EDIT: To those wondering, this is the stylus I use.
Paper has this rotary mixer that allows you to add "paint" and mix new colors. Turning the dial adds or subtracts the color you have picked. It's a brilliant interface that's imagined to be used with touch. The mixer is a monumental improvement from fiddly sliders you normally see in competing apps. When I was first sent a screen shot of the design, I didn't think much of it. But using it makes you realize the beauty of the design. It's so natural. I've also found myself trying out new drawing styles with the addition of color. It enables you use almost gouache-like techniques. It's so much fun.
Paper has also added a palette for all of your custom colors. Color for Paper is an in-app purchase at just $1.99. Highly recommended for anyone that uses the app, it's brilliant.
Here are some sketches I did recently using colors. For more info.

I can only imagine the fallout among some US Catholics if the US government conducted a national investigation of the sex abuse cover-up of bishops. It's happening in Australia. Prime minister Julia Gillard has authorized an inquiry that will look at everybody: religious groups, non-profits, care providers, and government agencies–even law enforcement itself. The PM:
There have been too many revelations of adults who have averted their eyes from this evil. The allegations that have come to light recently about child sexual abuse have been heartbreaking These are insidious, evil acts to which no child should be subject.
Detective Chief Inspector Peter Fox of the state of New South Wales pushed for a state-level inquiry recently. He also called for a Royal Commission in an open letter.
I can testify from my own experience that the church covers up, silences victims, hinders police investigations, alerts offenders, destroys evidence and moves priests to protect the good name of the church.
This seems to be the tipping point for Australia–state commissions finding things and now the determination is made to conduct a nationwide effort. It's good that the commission will look in a lot of places. They seem poised to look for the right thing–not sexual abuse, which we know takes place everywhere–but the institutional cover-up. Like what was claimed to occur in Philadelphia under Cardinal Bevilacqua in the 90's, before the Charter. For now, the Church says it will cooperate. Cardinal Pell:
Public opinion remains unconvinced that the Catholic Church has dealt adequately with sexual abuse. Ongoing and at times one-sided media coverage has deepened this uncertainty. I welcome the prime minister's announcement. I believe the air should be cleared and the truth uncovered.
I hope he's ready for the truth.

U.W. Stout Mourns
- Written by Bob Gabrielson
- Published in News
(1/29/13) U-W Stout is mourning the death of one of its most innovative leaders.
Robert Swanson – who headed the Menomonie campus from 1972-through-'88 – died yesterday in Rochester Minnesota from complications of Alzheimer's. The 88-year-old Swanson spent over 40 years at Stout. Current chancellor Charles Sorenson said Swanson brought the campus into the "modern age of higher education." Swanson oversaw a number of major academic, enrollment, and physical changes – and school officials said he redefined Stout's historic focus on applied learning. Despite state enrollment caps, Stout grew from 52-hundred students in 1972 to 75-hundred in 1987. Enrollment for the current year exceeds 92-hundred. Swanson's family plans a private memorial service in Rochester Minnesota – and what the school calls a "celebration of Bob's life" will be held later on the Stout campus.

Against all odds, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) has survived and flourished for 100 years, held together by its own 'special glue' - made up of dedication to nursing professionalism and commitment to the international idea.
The International Council of Nurses was born and raised on the busy intersection of woman's rights, social progressivism and healthcare reform. Though the idea and fundamental necessity of nursing are as old as the family and the tribe, the introduction of organised professional nursing only became a reality during the late 19th century.It was in an milieu ofgreat social change that a handful of women took up this new dimension of nursing.
The nurses who founded ICN were also deeply engaged in the international women's movement. It was the intoxicating mixture of the fight for women's rights and the development oforganised nursing that brought together ICN's forward thinking founders; Ethel Gordon Fenwick (England), Lavinia Dock (USA) and Agnes Karll (Germany) and gave birth t o the world'sfirst international organisation for health professionals and for women.
Sowing the international seed
The 1893 World Congress of Representative Women, held at the Chicago World's Fair, was the catalyst for ICN's founding. It was therethat «the seed of the international nursing movement...so full of vitality, was then sown, » according to Ethel Fenwick . By 1899 the seed had germinated and Fenwick called upon nurses of various countriesto unite in an international nursing organisation. One year later the ICN constitution was approved, with Fenwick elected as president.
The vision of ICN
These visionary nurses saw ICN as an international federation of national nurses' organisations, headed by nurses, free of state control and representing only nurses.In 1904, when the five-year-old ICN convened in Berlin, the three countries--Germany, Great Britain and the United States-- ready for federation under the ICN Constitution, were joined by Australia. Soon nurses from as far away as Japan were attracted to this new idea and began attending ICN meetings. At this point ICNhad no funds, no office and sometimes painfully slow communication (mail and telegraph) among members. Participants used their own personal funds to attend meetings and conduct business, but nonetheless membership continued to grow.
Wars in Europe Cast Their Shadows
As the devastation of Europe at war in 1914-18 shocked the world and nurses mobilised to serve on the battlefields, nurses at the ICN, now headed by Hennie Tscherning of Denmark, could only just hold on and grieve for their lost and separated comrades. It wasn't until 1922 that Tscherning was able to convene ICN leaders in Copenhagen andto begin picking up the pieces of the organisation and its mission.
At this low point the next President, Sophie Mannerheim of Finland, proved to be the right leader for ICN. She forged links with international nurses while, at the same time, fighting off efforts by the League of Red Cross Societies to direct post-war nursing globally. Denmark's Christiane Reimann, who became the first paid ICN secretary in 1922, also played a crucial role. An accomplished nurse who spoke and wrote several languages, Reimann willingly dipped into her own funds to accomplish ICN goals, and she constantly travelled seeking to attract more national nurses' associations (NNAs) to join ICN. This stimulated many countries to establish educational programmes for nurses and to form NNAs, includingChina, who joined the ICN in 1922.
As the 1930s drew to a close it became obvious to most that war was again on the horizon. The German Nurses Association, a founding member of ICN, was disbanded by the National Socialist (Nazi) Party, as was the Italian NNA. In 1939, the ICN offices in London seemed vulnerable aswar broke out andHitler moved west. Then president Effie Taylor packed up and moved ICN records and office to her offices at Yale University in New Haven. Three years later ICN's London offices were destroyed by bombs. Throughoutthe war period ICN aided thousands of displaced nurse refugees by keeping records and assisting in their ability to practice in new locations.
The Post-war Surge
In 1947, ICN was able to once again convene an international nursing Congress, this time in Atlantic City, New Jersey,where the new President, Gerda Hojer of Sweden, welcomed 6,500 nurses. In a spirit of reunion and rejuvenation, ICN prepared itself for renewal. The membership committee reached out, seeking and reviewing membership applications fromNNAs in the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. By 1957, ICN included 46 national associations with 17 countries in associate status. The new members illustrated the true internationalism of the ICN: Haiti, Korea, Turkey, Chile, Ceylon, Jamaica, Luxemborg, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad/Tobago, Zambia, Southern Rhodesia, Barbados, Columbia, Ethiopia, Iran, Liberia, Malaya, Panama, Uruguay, Yugoslavia-- and several countries separated by war re-joined-- Italy, Germany, Austria, and Japan.
Following its relocation to Geneva, Switzerland in 1965, ICN was able to further its international activity, with direct working links to the United Nations andthe World Health Organisation and a strengthened relationship to the International Labour Organisation, where ICN officially represented nurses on employment issues. Changing economies and conditions for women's work in regions of Africa, Asia, South Pacificand Latin America helped enhance nurses' ability to create national association,and thereby join ICN.
However, the Cold War deeply affected ICN. Neither Russia nor its Soviet bloc members joinedICN after the war. The NNAs that were previously members of the ICN federation--Bulgaria, China, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, Hungary, Poland, Romania and, until 1957, Yugoslavia--now were reluctantly classified by the ICN Board as «temporarily inactive.»
Discrimination is Challenged
A long simmering issue finally came to a head in 1973 when the ICN insisted that the South African Nurses Association fully integrate its association and Board or face expulsion. The vote ona motion to expel South Africa, introduced by the Swedish Nurses Association and the Nurses Association of the Netherlands, was only avoided by the abrupt resignation of the South Africans. ICN had, after decades of debate, taken the painful but final step to eject one of its oldest member nations to show its revulsion against racism. Today, a large and inclusive South African nursing association, DENOSA, is a very active ICN member.
By 1989 when Asia's ICN President, Mo-Im Kim of Korea (currently Korea's Minister of Health), greeted 7,000 nurses atICN's 19th Quadrennial Conference in Seoul , the ICN federation counted 97 member countries, and when current president, Kirsten Stallknecht of Denmark took office in 1997, ICN membership had grown to include 115 countries.
Looking Ahead
As ICN moves forward into its second century, representing millions of nurses in 118 countries, nursing looks forward to a future as rich with possibilities as its heritage is in accomplishments. From Florence Nightingale's guiding light, through the wisdom of Virginia Henderson and on to the challenges and promise of tomorrow, the International Council of Nurses remains actively committed to the service of the world's nursing profession and better health for all.
