You've already seen the best thing to come out of last nights Emmys. But there were also a lot of science-fiction gems along the way. Please help us caption this picture of the only two vampires who matter.
When Vampire Bill and Angel came out together I nearly bit my hand off I was so surprised. But what's with the knowing look David Boreanaz? You are Angel, and you will always be Angel. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'd love to see what you guys come up with as a caption for this photograph. What would these two have to say to one another?
Another great little moment from the Emmy's was Michael Emerson winning for Lost, and then going up on stage and creeping us all the hell out. He really is Ben, isn't he? I knew it.
Kristin Chenoweth won for the cruelly canceled series Pushing Daisies, but we already talked about that still her acceptance speech was terrific.
And finally fellow nerd and "I'm A PC" John Hodgman's narrations throughout the evening almost made up for the fact that Battlestar Galactica was completely forgotten in every drama category besides directing, for Daybreak 2, which they didn't win. Still Hodgman's introductory riffs was the icing on the cake....
"If Michael Emerson weren't on television right now, he would be in New York City, having a fancy cocktail with me. That is, until S. Epatha Merkerson walked into the room, then he'd blow me off. That's a true story." -On Michael Emerson's victory in the Best Supporting Actor, Drama category

Marking a return to feature filmmaking after 16 years, Khairy Beshara talks to Screen about experimental docu-drama Moondog.
Egyptian filmmaker Khairy Beshara has returned to feature filmmaking following a 16-year hiatus with experimental docu-drama Moondog, which is screening in DIFF's Muhr Arab feature competition tonight.
Why did you have a 16-year break from directing features?
In 1996 I had the highest salary in the Egyptian film industry and made two films in one year. I won the Silver Pyramid at the Cairo film festival for one of those films, Traffic Light. But I decided after I took the prize that I couldn't continue any more in the film industry and wanted to find myself; I needed a change.
Then after a few years, the digital revolution happened and I became one of the evangelists, along with my friend [fellow Egyptian film-maker] Mohamed Khan. Everyone thought we were mad. Arturo Ripstein said that when a director gets older, he should turn to digital or die. That made me think I don't want to die - I want to survive in another way.
So I decided to make a film about my disappearance and started shooting Moondog in 2000, beginning with a real event,my daughter's wedding in Washington DC.
Does Moondog lean towards documentary or fiction?
The film mixes fiction and reality. The Moondog is me - when I disappear, my son discovers I've metamorphosed into a dog. It's very free; I approach film as a long dream or maybe a nightmare. The biggest influence on me has been an essay written by Alexandre Astruc in 1948 about 'camera stylo', which talks about using a film camera like a pen. All my life as a director I've tried to achieve this, as it allows you to be free.
How did you know when to stop shooting?
It was difficult because I kept telling myself to stop shooting, but at the last minute I'd pick up a camera and start again. But now Moondog is finished - I knew it was finished when I filmed the scenes with the dog, because the dog expresses me and my views of how I see life.
How did you fund the film?
I didn't want to accept funding because I wanted to be free; I don't care about money and distribution. So I continued to professionally make TV serials so I could self-finance the film.
You may not be concerned about distribution, but you must want people to see the film?
I adore the audience but I'm tired of fighting to reach people and I don't want to beg somebody to distribute my film. After the screening, if somebody asks to take the film then, of course, with pleasure. But it's not my concern and I won't be disappointed if it doesn't happen. I'm just proud of myself that I've finished the film and it will screen at the Dubai film festival on the big screen.

SANDY, Utah – Real Salt Lake (West #2) will host LA Galaxy (West #3) in the decisive second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. MT at Rio Tinto Stadium. Thursday's match will be broadcast live on ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and locally on ESPN 700 AM and 102.3 La Gran D FM/1600 AM.
Thursday's match is the second leg of the Western Conference Semifinals series between Real Salt Lake and LA Galaxy. The Claret-and-Cobalt dropped the first leg of the series on Sunday, conceding early in the second half to fall 1-0 to the defending MLS Cup champions at StubHub Center.
Real Salt Lake must win the series' second leg on Thursday at Rio Tinto Stadium in order to have a shot at advancing to the Western Conference Final. If the teams are tied on aggregate at the end of regulation in Thursday's second leg, there will be two, 15-minute extra time periods. If the teams remain tied following extra time, the series will be decided by a penalty kick shootout.
RSL enters Thursday's match relatively free of injury concerns. MF Ned Grabavoy (L hamstring strain) is the only regular carrying a knock into the second leg, listed as questionable after picking up an injury in the second half of Sunday's first leg. FW Joao Plata and DF Lovel Palmer – both of whom missed Sunday's first leg due to injury – are healthy and will be available for selection on Thursday.
Thursday's second leg contest will be Real Salt Lake's fourth-ever playoff match against LA Galaxy. The Claret-and-Cobalt is 1-2-0 all-time against the California side in postseason action. Preceding Sunday's loss in LA, RSL beat the Galaxy in penalties in MLS Cup 2009 in Seattle and lost 3-1 to LA in the 2011 Western Conference Final in Carson. Calif.
Real Salt Lake is 10-12-6 all-time against LA Galaxy in MLS regular season and playoff action, posting a 5-3-4 all-time home record in Utah. The Claret-and-Cobalt is 1-2-2 all-time in the second leg of playoff series, advancing past those second legs on three of five occasions.
In the 2013 MLS regular season, Real Salt Lake went 1-2-0 against LA. The Galaxy took the first match between the sides, scoring two early goals to beat RSL 2-0 at Rio Tinto Stadium on April 27. The Claret-and-Cobalt took a measure of revenge in the second meeting, downing the Galaxy 3-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium on June 8. RSL dropped the final meeting between the sides, falling victim to a hat trick from Galaxy FW Robbie Keane to lose 4-2 at LA on Aug. 17.
A limited amount of tickets are still available for Thursday's RSL-LA Galaxy contest and can be purchased at the Rio Tinto Stadium box office, online at www.RealSaltLake.com/Tickets or over the phone at 801-727-2700.

Marywood University Policy & Procedure Information
Contractual Agreements with Faculty Members
Policy Statement
Full -Time Faculty
The Letter of Agreement is the official contract issued to a faculty member at the time of appointment or reappointment. It is a statement of conditions and obligations mutually agreed to by the faculty member and Marywood University. It serves as a binding contract covering a specific period of time and as a vehicle to renew, adjust and/or alter the terms of the original contract regarding appointment, rank, tenure, salary, benefits, etc.
Faculty contracts are normally for a period of nine months or twelve months.
Ordinarily, the academic year will begin no earlier than two weeks before Labor Day and will end no later than nine months from that date.
A copy of the Letter of Agreement is retained by the faculty member. Copies are also on file in the Office of Human Resources.
In general, any faculty member, who intends to be a long-term stakeholder in the University and who has the appropriate terminal academic degree, should have either a tenure appointment or an appointment probationary for tenure.
Categories of Full-Time Appointment
Regular membership in a Faculty includes appointments with continuous tenure, appointments probationary for tenure, and contract appointments without tenure.
Membership in the Faculty of a School or Department is held by persons with valid appointments to one of the four generally recognized Faculty ranks, namely, Professor, Associate Professor, Assistant Professor, or Instructor.
The University, however, also requires the services of professionally competent individuals to meet teaching and service responsibilities in selected areas or positions in which assignments do not necessarily include research or creative work. To meet these responsibilities effectively and to be competitive in attracting and retaining needed professional personnel, the University has established and recognizes a third kind of Regular Faculty appointment: Regular Contracts Appointments without Tenure.
Contract Appointments with Tenure
The probationary period shall not exceed seven years of full-time teaching at Marywood, with application for tenure being made in the sixth year. Faculty members on leave during the probationary period must follow the policy on Leaves of Absence. Prior service at Marywood University or at another regionally accredited, four-year college or university may be credited toward the fulfillment of the probationary period as indicated in the original Letter of Agreement.
Tenure is a term designating guaranteed continuous appointment to full-time faculty members until retirement. It implies a mutual commitment on the part of the faculty member and the University and cannot be taken lightly. The commitment of a faculty member who requests tenure is as deep and binding on the faculty member as it is on the University. Just as the conferring of tenure by the University recognizes the competence of an individual faculty member, submission to the University of an application for tenure suggests a strong acceptance by that individual of the goals and objectives of the University. The request represents commitment to work jointly with faculty, students, administrators, and members of the staff for the growth and welfare of the University. It is a commitment to devote one's energies to continued personal development and continued high levels of achievement as a member of the Marywood academic community. It is a definite assertion of career goals; it is expected that faculty will not lightly withdraw from this relationship.
Once tenure is granted, it will be discontinued only for grave reason, which may include moral turpitude, flagrant abuse of academic freedom, or lack of professional competency as demonstrated in instruction and/or research. In addition, the University may be required to discontinue tenure because of severe financial exigencies of the University or reorganization of the department and/or curriculum resulting in lack of need as described in Retrenchment of Faculty.
A faculty member with an appointment probationary for tenure may apply for a Clinical or Per Annum appointment, if a vacancy exists, under normal procedures for recruitment and appointment. However, a faculty member in probationary status is not eligible to apply for such a change of status if that faculty member has been reviewed for tenure with the result that tenure was not recommended.
Contract Appointments without Tenure
Two types of full-time contract appointments without tenure are available: Clinical Faculty Appointments and Per Annum Faculty Appointments.
Clinical Faculty
On the recommendation of the relevant chairperson or person acting in the capacity of chair, and with the approval of the appropriate Dean and the Provost and based on a written description of the teaching and related duties, a Faculty position involving full time teaching in a clinical or professional skills program may be designated as a non-tenure track clinical position.
The title of Clinical Faculty is a broad designation that covers professional activities both on and off campus that provide the core expertise for a particular faculty member. It is through their clinical expertise that Clinical Faculty are able to translate applied practice into their classroom and experiential activities.
Clinical Faculty are expected to engage in teaching and service to the department, college, University, discipline and community at large. Scholarship, in its broadest sense, is of a secondary role for most Clinical Faculty and could be of an applied nature that focuses on, and contributes to, the advancement of teaching, clinical practice, ongoing professional development and contributions to the field. The appropriateness, level and type of scholarly expectations of Clinical Faculty will vary significantly among disciplines and departments. However, conducting independent research is not a requirement of clinical faculty.
The annual Faculty Activity Report and reviews for promotion will focus on teaching and service. There does not need to be a separate section in the documents for scholarship. Scholarship that supports teaching may be placed in the teaching section and scholarship in clinical services may be placed in the service section. However, clinical faculty who regularly engage in scholarship may request to the appropriate dean to be evaluated among the tenure track faculty utilizing the teaching, service and scholarship evaluative tool.
Clinical Faculty may hold the following non-tenure track ranks:
- Clinical Instructor
- Clinical Assistant Professor
- Clinical Associate Professor
- Clinical Professor
The initial appointment may be for one or two years and may be renewed for successive terms under the same procedures as those applying to faculty members with appointments probationary for tenure. After six years of continuous service, subsequent reappointments may be for periods of up to five years but without tenure.
Per Annum Faculty
With the approval of the Provost and based upon a written description of the teaching and related duties, a faculty position involving full-time teaching for a period of one year may also be designated as a non-tenured position (Per Annum).
Normally a Per Annum appointment may be renewed on an annual basis for up to an additional five years, followed by a terminal contract for the seventh year of employment. If an exception is made, it will be done by the Provost in consultation with the appropriate dean and director or chairperson. Notification of non-renewal shall follow the notice requirements of the Non-Reappointment of Full-Time Faculty Member policy.
Clinical or Per Annum appointments may be made at the level of Instructor, Assistant Professor, Associate Professor or Professor. A Faculty Member with a Clinical or Per Annum appointment is accorded parity of compensation, benefits and perquisites, and governance and voting rights, as with other Faculty members of comparable rank.
A Faculty member with a Clinical or Per Annum appointment may apply for an appointment probationary for tenure, if a vacancy exists, under normal procedures for recruitment and appointment. In such a case, time served in the Clinical or Per Annum position beyond the first year counts toward the maximum allowable period of probationary service. If time served in the Clinical or Per Annum position exceeds the maximum allowable period of probationary service, the Faculty member shall be considered to have completed five years of probationary service and shall be reviewed for tenure upon application for the change of status. In either case, in the event the outcome of the review is negative, the terms of the current Clinical or Per Annum appointment shall be honored but the Faculty member shall not be eligible for subsequent reappointment to the Clinical or Per Annum position.
Pro - Rata Faculty
Pro-Rata ranked faculty serve on nine-month or twelve-month contracts. Their contracts are processed and issued as are those of full-time faculty.
The initial appointment of Pro-Rata faculty determines their rank; their Letters of Agreement are awarded for one year at a time with no implied obligation of continuous appointment.
Part -Time Faculty
Part-Time faculty are those faculty members who ordinarily teach from one to six credit hours per semester and are not usually otherwise employed in the affairs of the University. They receive a formal appointment on a semester basis, provided enrollment justifies it at registration time. Part- Time faculty members are not eligible for tenure.
Letters of Agreement
Letters of Agreement for continuing faculty members are issued on or before May 10. Letters of Agreement are distributed from the Office of the President of the University.
Appointment Procedures
Members of the faculty are appointed by the President of the University. Prospective faculty members are interviewed and recommended by the chairperson and faculty of the department in which a vacancy exists to the Dean and the Provost.
The formal offer of employment made by the Provost to a prospective faculty member contains the conditions of continued employment and promotion as described during the interview process and as outlined in the Faculty Handbook.
Offers to part-time faculty are made by department chairpersons or those acting in the capacity of a chair, and concluded by an agreement approved by the appropriate academic dean. A part-time faculty member receives a formal appointment on a semester basis, provided enrollment justifies it at registration time. A part- time faculty member is not eligible for tenure.

Inquiry Question
Reading 2: The Battle of Mill Springs
It was just after midnight on January 19, 1862, when 4,000 Confederate troops at Beech Grove started a nine-mile slog towards a Union army camped at Logan's Cross Roads. Fog shrouded the heavily wooded hills, and a cold, sleeting rain washed down the ravines that sliced across the landscape. A Union soldier later noted, "[i]f we had known...[the Confederates had] turned out of their comfortable tents and dry blankets and for the next six weary hours were sloshing along in the mud and storm and darkness, we could have much enjoyed the contemplation of their physical and spiritual condition. It was always some comfort to the soldier on a night such as this to think that his enemy over there, was at least as cold and wretched as he himself was."1
The South had decided to attack the Union Army in order to protect the defensive line it had set up across southern Kentucky. Maj. Gen. George B. Crittenden, who commanded the Confederate Army in this part of the country, had learned that Federal forces under Maj. Gen. George Thomas were coming together at Logan's Cross Roads. Crittenden and his commanders decided their best strategy was to strike now, before additional Union troops arrived; if they waited, the Union would soon attack the defenses the South had set up near the community of Mill Springs. The Confederates desperately needed to hold their line, because a loss would allow the North to gain control of the Cumberland Gap, the main route into southwest Virginia, and have access to the heart of Tennessee.
After six hours of marching in the dark, the Confederate troops encountered Federal pickets and the Battle of Mill Springs began. For the next four hours fighting ranged across hilly farmland that still retained many patches of woods. Ravines cut across the battlefield, impeding the cavalry and artillery of both sides. This terrain was familiar to soldiers on each side, for both North and South included units made up of men from Kentucky.
At the start of fighting, the Southern troops drove their opponents back. After about an hour, however, the battle began to stabilize. More Union forces arrived, and it became difficult to see as black powder in the rifles produced smoke that mixed with the fog. The weather gradually had another effect on the Confederates, who used an old type of rifle that needed a spark to ignite its black powder, which lay exposed in an open pan. "The rain was descending in torrents and our flint lock muskets were in bad condition; not one in three would fire," wrote one Southern soldier. "We...did the best we could with our old flint locks. Mine went off once during the action, and although I wiped the 'pan' and primed a dozen times it would do so no more."2
It was in this confusion that General Zollicoffer rode up to the 19th Tennessee CSA, who held the Confederate center. He ordered them to cease fire, as he was convinced that they were shooting at other Southern units. The General then advanced toward the unit being fired on and began speaking with another officer, whom he ordered also to cease fire. Neither recognized the other's face, and both men wore rubberized canvas raincoats that made it impossible to see a uniform. The other officer had turned away to follow his orders when one of Zollicoffer's aides rode up and shouted for the General to get away--these were the enemy's troops! Zollicoffer had been mistaken: the 19th Tennessee had been firing at the 4th Kentucky US, who still stood close enough to hear the warning. They opened fire, and Zollicoffer and his aide were killed instantly.
Even after Zollicoffer's death, fighting continued for at least two more hours. The Confederates mounted one more significant attack, in which they advanced but were unable to break the Union lines. Then the tide of the battle turned against the Confederates, particularly after the 9th Ohio made one of the first and most effective bayonet charges of the Civil War. They broke the Confederate left and caused the entire army to retreat in confusion. The Federal forces pursued, but rear guard action by some Southern units slowed the Union enough to allow the Confederates to reach their fortified camps, nine miles to the rear, as night fell.
During the night, as the Federals prepared to attack the camp at dawn, the beaten Confederates retreated hastily across the Cumberland River. When the Union army approached in the morning, they found their opponents were gone, having abandoned their artillery, wagons, horses, food, and most of their personal possessions. In a scene repeated frequently on both sides throughout the war, Union troops then plundered the enemy's camp. "We have taken some of the nicest clothing I ever saw, broadcloth coats worth from five to twenty dollars a piece. I got a satin vest worth five dollars, a shirt worth a dollar and a half, and a silver-handled stiletto too," wrote one soldier from Ohio to his father.3
The South lost more than men at the Battle of Mill Springs. The defeat caused their defense line to collapse in eastern Kentucky, leaving the region itself under Federal control and eastern Tennessee open to invasion. The subsequent losses of Forts Henry and Donelson, both just over the border into Tennessee, forced all Confederate forces to retreat out of the state. Though the South would try to retake Kentucky later in 1862, the failure of this effort meant that the state remained firmly in control of the Union for the rest of the Civil War.
Questions for Reading 2

A growth chart is a graph used to track a child's growth and development over time. At each of your child's well-child visits, the doctor will measure:
These measurements are plotted on a graph according to your child's age and sex.
Growth charts show the consistency of your child's pattern of growth over time. It is important to remember that your child is likely to have growth spurts as well as periods of slow growth, even as a baby. Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns. For more information about growth charts, go to the website http://www.cdc.gov/growthcharts/clinical_charts.htm.

See some spectacular illustration here, as animator and illustrator Chris O'Riley continues to hone his craft and meet artistic challenges head-on, armed with the latest tools in NewTek's LightWave 3D.
Artist Chris O'Riley can never predict what his next project will be, but he is always certain of one thing: the tool he will use to achieve it. For nearly two decades, he has been tackling various animation and illustration assignments from major news outlets and advertisers, growing and expanding as a digital artist, using NewTek's LightWave 3D.
O'Riley explains :
The very nature of magazine work is that the subjects are always different, often wildly so ... One week, it's a 3D environment image depicting a military engagement for a major news source; the next week it's a satirically stylized product for a business magazine story
On the advertising side, his projects have ranged from automotive work for Porsche, sport drink images for Pepsi, and modeling work for Harley Davidson to product shots for cosmetics companies like Avon and Clinique.
Solved with Software
As a graphic design student in college, O'Riley was instantly interested in 3D modeling and animation; yet, illustrating detailed scenes with accurate perspective by hand was always challenging. He soon learned, and became fascinated by, what was possible with 3D software—and he continues to be impressed with the capabilities of his 3D tool of choice to this day.
O'Riley test-drove a few 3D packages before settling on a favorite: LightWave 3D.
3D software was, at the time, an amazing ... I could build entire objects, compose scenes inside a virtual world, and then render out images with not only accurate perspective, but lighting, shading, and movement as well. It was quite remarkable solution,
I quickly took to its more Spartan user interface ... I always enjoyed (physical) model building—using my hands, woodworking, carving, etc. -- and LightWave's minimalistic user interface appealed to me because it didn't get in the way. Some programs seem try to do too much, others not enough; LightWave strikes just the right balance. More than any other program I used before or since, working in LightWave feels like I'm using my hands.
Hands-on Artist
A majority of O'Riley's magazine work, for Time and other well-known news sources, involves presenting ideas in new, clever, humorous, or satirical ways. He explains:
It might be a family depicted as salt and pepper shakers, spark plugs made out of money, or an automobile with a mouth of razor sharp teeth ... Sometimes it's seamlessly merging two ideas or objects; sometimes it's stylizing or exaggerating an idea. In either case, it's rare that I can begin with a base model, so for each image, virtually everything needs to be built from scratch for each concept.
The same is true of his advertising work, which often involves fleshing out several different concepts for an ad agency to present to its clients.
Sample images here can be clicked for enlargements!
O'Riley admits:
Most jobs don't lend themselves to purchasing off-the-shelf models, so everything needs to be purpose-built for each project ... The speed of both LightWave's modeler and renderer are absolutely critical for this type of work.
Very rarely do project deadlines measure more than a few days, and can be just a few hours in some cases ... Without the speed of LightWave's modeler, that would be impossible.
LightWave's subdivision-surface modeling tools enable O'Riley to quickly mock up low-resolution ideas or concepts, which can later be refined and rendered at high resolutions without the need to rebuild or remodel anything.

Award Winning DVD Series "How'd They Build That…?" Wins Teacher's Choice Award
January 09, 2011 (PRLEAP.COM) Education NewsLos Angeles, CA. The award winning Children's series "How'd They Build That..?" has snagged yet another award, the coveted Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Award for the Family.
In 1994, Learning magazine introduced the first Teachers' Choice Awards program. Over the years, the program has grown to become one of the most recognized and prestigious awards in the educational market. The Teachers' Choice Awards for the Family program was launched in 2004 to recognize companies whose educational products work in the home environment. Teachers evaluate the products on educational value, originality and creativity, ease of use, safety and durability, high-interest level and motivation for children. Each product is evaluated on its own merit. Once the scoring is complete, the scores for each product are averaged. The top 20% of all entries receive an award. Only those products that meet our teachers' stringent standards are chosen.
Each "How'd They Build That ?" program takes viewers along for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at some of the country's most renowned assembly plants, showing how different types of vehicles emergency, utility, delivery, construction, service and agricultural are built, from frame stamping to assembly, engine installation to paint, to final inspection and activation.
Filmed in visually striking high-definition, "How'd They Build That?" combines live action with vivid, virtual 3-D animation, along with onscreen "Fun Facts" which provides both interesting trivia and simple explanations of technical terminology the series is sure to excite anyone who ever wondered where some of our most important big rigs come from.
Current titles in the series include "Fire Truck", "School Bus", "Big Truck", "Garbage Truck" and "Concrete Truck" with other titles coming as early as spring 2011.
Jim Swindel, Managing Partner at Marvelous Media commented "All of us are very excited about this recognition. We try hard to produce content that is both entertaining and educational for children, and while we are proud of all our parenting awards, to our knowledge, the Learning Magazine Teachers' Choice Awards for the Family is the only awards program that requires evaluators to be both a teacher and a parent. We will wear it proudly".
The DVDs are recommended for ages 4 and older and retail for $7.99 each (plus S&H) or $34.95 for the set of five w/ free shipping & handling.

Hong Kong Halts Ferry Service to China on Virus Fears
Hong Kong has suspended cross-border ferry service to and from mainland China as it seeks to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus.All cross-boundary ferry services to and from the China Ferry Terminal and the Tuen Mun Ferry Terminal have been suspended, Hong Kong's government announced on Wednesday,The government said other modes of transport, including rail and airline service, have also been suspended or restricted as part of its plans to reduce the flow of people between the Mainland and Hong Kong.As of Wednesday morning, the flu-like virus, first detected in Wuhan in December, has killed 132 people in China, according to local authorities.
Houston Ship Channel Reopens After 7-hour Closure
The Houston Ship Channel reopened on Tuesday morning after a seven-hour closure to raise a fishing vessel that sank in mid-January near the waterway's entrance in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Houston ship pilots association.The ship channel, a 53-mile waterway connecting the busiest U.S. petrochemical port with the Gulf of Mexico, reopened at 10:15 a.m. local time on Tuesday, according to the Houston Pilots, the ship pilots association.Two people aboard the 81-foot (25-meter) fishing vessel Pappy's Pride remain missing following a collision with the 600-foot tanker Bow Fortune on January 14, according to the U.S. Coast Guard.
Profiles in Training: Staten Island Ferries
When James C. DeSimone, Deputy Commissioner, Ferry Division, New York City Department of Transportation, signed on to run the Staten Island Ferries in 2003, the organization was still in the aftermath of one of the most significant accidents in its history: the ferry Andrew J. Barberi allision of October 2003, an accident which included a number of fatalities and serious injuries. DeSimone, who had long-tenures in both the commercial and public end of the marine business, brought a unique perspective to the organization."For the city to go outside the system to hire (me) was huge," said DeSimone.
Water Audits at Sea
On land, one of the most effective ways to reduce water consumption is to conduct a "water audit," which involves analyzing a building's water use, discovering where potential water savings are possible, and implementing a cost-effective plan to turn those possible water savings into reality.Typically, a water audit involves:Identifying where water is brought into a facility (looking for leaks before water is delivered)Location of all water-using fixtures and systems as well as drainage systemsGathering two years of water utility bills, checking them, not necessarily for charges

In a salute to America Recycles Day on November 15, sustainability staff from PSU's Market Center Building set out to understand the types of waste building residents send to the landfill. Donning gloves and reflective orange vests, volunteers sorted though two days of the building's trash. What they found was astounding: less than half of the trash was actually trash.
Compostable and recyclable items made up more than half of the load's volume. Volunteers also filled seven curbside bins full of disposable cups and food containers, which are not usually recyclable but are easy to avoid by opting for reusable cups and containers.
By 2030, PSU's goal is to reduce landfill-bound waste to just 10 percent of the total waste we generate, meaning 90 percent is recycled, composted, or reused.
What you can do to help PSU reach this goal:
- Bring a reusable mug to the coffee shop for your caffeine fix. Many shops offer discounts for bringing your own mug.
- Collect compost in your office. Submit a work order for a stainless steel compost bin and create a rewards system for staff that volunteer to take the bag to a central compost collection location. Click here for a campus compost map.
- Make it easy, put up signs. Download and print recycling signs from this page and place near your office's collection bins.
- Donate unwanted office supplies to the ReUse Room by submitting a work order for pick-up.
- Enroll in the reusable to-go container programs at Viking Food Court in Smith or at River's Edge Café in the 200 Market Building.

(Corrects to say Brent touched $117.02 on Sept 17, not Sept. 1, in 8th paragraph)
* Turkey warns Syria about cross-border shelling
* IMF warns on global financial stability
* U.S. crude stocks rose, distillates fell last week-API
* Coming up: EIA oil data, 11 a.m. EDT Thursday
By Robert Gibbons
NEW YORK, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Oil prices fell in volatile trade on Wednesday as ongoing concerns about the economy and a weak kick off to the earnings season weighed on stock markets.
Brent turned negative late as U.S. stocks fell after Alcoa posted a quarterly net loss and Chevron warned profits would fall sharply.
U.S. crude turned lower and ended down more than 1 percent.
Oil markets, which have been balancing concerns of lower global fuel demand against the risk of supply disruptions in the Middle East and loading delays of crude from the North Sea, also
watched demand forecasts from the U.S. government and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
Reports released on Wednesday from OPEC and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) lowered global oil demand growth forecasts amid ongoing worries about economic growth.
Crude drew early support from news of shelling along the Turkey-Syria border, hostility between Iran and the West and an impending Israeli election. Those events reinforced fears about potential threats to oil supplies from the Middle East Gulf.
"Although (U.S. crude) managed to further yesterday's Middle East driven price spike early in the session, it subsequently succumbed to a triple digit slide in the (Dow Jones industrials) that sent off further caution flags regarding global economic recovery," Jim Ritterbusch, president at Ritterbusch & Associates, said in a note.
PRICES FALL Brent November crude
traded down 17 cents to settle at $114.33 a barrel after trading as high as $115.59, the highest since prices hit $117.02 on Sept. 17, according to Reuters data.
U.S. November crude
settled $1.14 lower at $91.25 a barrel. U.S. crude earlier tested resistance above the $93.33 peak from Oct. 1, after prices had stalled in consecutive sessions at intraday highs of $93.18 and $93.20 on Sept. 24 and 25.
U.S. gasoline and heating oil futures, which have been supported by low inventory levels and refinery disruptions this week, posted small gains despite the losses in crude.
U.S. crude stocks rose 1.6 million barrels last week, the industry group American Petroleum Institute said on Wednesday, more than the consensus of analyst expectations.
Gasoline stocks rose 2.5 million barrels but distillate inventories fell a whopping 6.2 million barrels, API said.
Distillate stockpiles were expected to be down 500,000 barrels in the week to Oct. 5, a Reuters survey of analysts showed.
Expectations were for an 800,000-barrel build in crude inventories and no change in gasoline stocks.
The government report from the EIA will follow at 11 a.m. EDT (1500 GMT) on Thursday.
Brent's premium to U.S. crude
seesawed, then pushed higher to end at $23.08 a barrel based on settlements, after reaching $23.39, the widest spread since Oct. 2011.
"Some temporary factors are keeping it wide, including a lower-than-expected return of North Sea production and the ongoing geopolitical premiums on the Brent side," said Vikas Dwivedi, global oil and gas economist for Macquarie Group in Houston, referring to the delays in Forties cargo loading in the North Sea.

Graphic of 24-hr chart Brent analysis:
Markets are closely monitoring the developments in Turkey and Syria. Turkey's military chief of staff said on Wednesday his troops would respond with greater force if bombardments from Syria kept hitting Turkish territory.
"It's not that Syria and Turkey are significant oil exporters but Iraqi crude from the northern part of Iraq (Kirkuk) flows via pipeline through Turkey to Ceyhan," said Dominick Chirichella, an energy analyst at New York's Energy Management Institute.
Gloomy economic expectations have tempered oil prices this year against geopolitical turmoil, including the risk to supplies from Iran due to sanctions from the West.
Oil prices came under early pressure from continuing worries about economic growth after the International Monetary Fund said risks to global financial stability had risen in the past six months, leaving confidence "very fragile".
No. 2 oil consumer China's annual economic growth is expected to have slowed for a seventh straight quarter in the July-September period to its weakest level since the depths of the global financial crisis, a Reuters poll showed.

Sanibel Island is a lovely, serene and wildly popular destination surrounded by the clear waters of the Gulf of Mexico. There's no better way to enjoy your vacation than at a private beach villa or luxury condo rental. Amenities include everything from fully equipped kitchens and water view terraces to quaint fireplaces and sleeping lofts.
You know you're at an old Florida beach, when sandy lanes with helter-skelter grass borders wander past trees bent from years of shouldering coastal winds. And when you're surrounded by water, every member of your family or group will find favorite things to do. Fishing buddies love a day on the water testing their talent for landing the "catch of the day." While toddlers build sandcastles, their older siblings take to snorkeling or scuba diving. Couples roam the soft white sands in search of the Sanibel's famous seashells - the southern coastal twist scoops seashells from distant places and bestows them on Sanibel's beaches. And after all that sun-filled play, barbequing on your own rental home porch makes the end of the day special.
The "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge combines nearly 6500 acres of mangroves and marshes with entertaining concessionaire options. You may charter a fishing boat or gather the family on your rented pontoon boat. Kayaks, canoes and bicycles are also available to rent; so you can wander along scenic drives and waterways. Combine your mini tour of Old Town Sanibel and the Sanibel Lighthouse area with a fascinating look at island pioneers at Sanibel Historical Museum and Village. The village buildings date to the late 19th century and include a General Store, Original Schoolhouse, Tea Room and typical island cottage.
Though you'll undoubtedly enjoy several home-cooked meals at your beach rental, Sanibel and adjacent Captiva Island offer some delicious and scenic dining choices. A local favorite is Mad Hatter Restaurant where tantalizing dishes range from filet with Béarnaise sauce and Phyllo shrimp to exotic salads and warm berry crepes. There's no shortage of inventive cuisine, and the sunset view over the Gulf makes this a very romantic destination. Just up the road in the quaint Captiva Island village, Sunday brunch at The Keylime Bistro gathers together locals and visitors alike. Festive umbrellas shield outdoor tables, and soft jazz accompanies your island benedicts!
You'll love private island living with the space you need for your family vacation. Combine home-cooked meals with dining out adventures, and you'll quickly appreciate the value of vacation rentals.

Good news/bad news:
The good news is that, after getting a few days off to rest the bones, the Lightning absolutely dominated 5-on-5 play territorially for about the first 55 minutes of regulation. That was Lightning hockey, and for almost the entire contest you had the impression the Lightning were cruising to victory even though they couldn't get staked to more than a one goal lead. The other bit of good news is that the Lightning appear to have made it through an entire game without someone getting dinged up. It's a beautiful thing.
The bad news is that the Lightning allowed Ottawa to hang around because special teams, putting Johnson's SH goal aside, were pretty darned atrocious. The PK just can't seem to buy a break right now and the PP looked as predictable as an 80's sitcom, including telegraphing one-timers on an Overtime 4-on-3 opportunity. Once Stamkos returns, that should help the PP a lot, but it's getting clearer Yzerman's shopping list at the deadline needs to include an ace PK'er, be that in the form of another veteran d-man or a forward. I'd give my right arm for a time machine to bring back a mid-2000's Freddy Modin or Jassen Cullimore right about now to help get that mess fixed.
The Lightning again tie Boston for tops in the Atlantic Division although the B's hold 2 games in hand.
Mark Barberio [10] was -1 with 2 penalty minutes in 15:20. His penalty was a costly delay of game call where he shot the puck out of play while under duress from 2 Ottawa forecheckers. After two strong games, tonight was a little step back for Mark.
J.T. Brown [11] had 4 shots and 1 hit in 11:44. Off night for his line. He had a really nice hit on Da Costa in the corner in the First Period, showing surprising pop for his size.
Nikita Kucherov [12] had 2 blocked shots in 10:54. Ottawa seemed to be targeting the rookie early, and he was ineffective through much of regulation. He shanked a good chance in the Third Period and snuck a pass through to Filppula for a partial breakaway in Overtime, so he still had moments, and his quick release in the shootout delivered the second point for the Lightning.

The consumer spending in Kuwait registered solid growth in the first half on the back of solid salary increases in both public and private sectors and a steady employment data, said a report by the National Bank of Kuwait (NBK).
The consumer sector has remained strong thus far in 2013, though there are some signs that rapid growth is beginning to moderate, said the top Kuwaiti bank in its report.
Household debt maintained solid but steady growth through June and point-of-sale spending growth was still in the double-digits in the first half of this year, it stated.
Employment growth was relatively steady, in particular among Kuwaiti nationals and skilled expats. The latter two groups are crucial to the consumption sector as they comprise higher income households, said the NBK in its report.
According to NBK, the consumer spending growth has remained healthy, supported by the strength in consumer borrowing. The consumers' point of sale transactions (POS) recorded a value of KD3.25 billion ($11.4 billion) during the first half, up 17.9 per cent from a year ago.
The spending has also received support from steady employment growth, especially among Kuwaiti civilians. Higher salaries for Kuwaitis in the public and private sectors were also an important factor, having taken effect largely during the second half of 2012, and continued to have an impact on year-on-year (y/y) growth, the report stated.
The top Kuwaiti lender said consumer and installment debt growth recorded a healthy pace through June, with outstanding debt reaching a mid-year figure of KD7.6 billion.
NBK said the growth against a year ago eased slightly to 18.3 per cent compared to March's 19.3 per cent, but remained surprisingly resilient.
The net increase in loans averaged a monthly KD103 million during second quarter of 2013, up from KD 78 million during the first quarter and KD 93 million in 2012 as a whole, it stated.
The growth in total wages of Kuwaiti civilian employees is estimated to have accelerated to 15 per cent by the first quarter of the year. This rise in aggregate wage income, which captures growth in both salaries and employment, has benefited from a package of wage hikes implemented last year both for public employees and the private sector, said the NBK in its report.
With no new hikes in 2013, this growth is expected to taper off towards the end of 2013. However, continued healthy growth in employment should keep income growth running at a relatively solid pace into 2014, the report stated.
According to NBK, the consumer confidence had picked up towards the end of 2012 and has largely maintained elevated levels thus far in 2013, reflecting solid consumer sentiment. Though the Araa consumer confidence index slipped slightly to 117 in July compared to the 126 level registered in December 2012, it remains relatively healthy.
"Consumers' improved sentiment was most obvious when it came to employment prospects. The employment component of the index rose 18 per cent from a year ago. Consumers were also more optimistic about the performance of the general economy than they were a year ago," it said.
Employment growth among Kuwaiti nationals too has seen a slight pickup in 2013 following a moderating trend last year. Aggregate Kuwaiti employment saw year-on-year growth accelerate slightly to 3.3 per cent from 2.8 per cent at the end of 2012.
Total working Kuwaitis rose to 394,000 by the end of June, including civilians and military positions. The net increase in the number of working Kuwaitis below the age of 40 during the last 12-months was nearly 18,700, compared to 19,300 added the year before, said the report.
According to NBK, the labour participation rates have remained relatively stable and even improved in some cases, indicating that unemployment has remained in check.
Among men, the rate has been unchanged at 90 per cent for the last two years. Meanwhile, Kuwaiti women's participation rates has maintained a rising trend, with 82 per cent of the 25-40 year age group in employment at the end of June 2013, compared to 81 per cent a year ago and 80 per cent in 2011. In addition, the data also indicates that women are now retiring later.
Also the private sector hiring of Kuwaitis was stronger in 2013. Over 5,100 of the net increase in employment was in the private sector, compared to 3,500 a year ago, said the top bank in its report.
Skilled expat job growth was also stronger during the first half following a flat second half last year. However, an initial recovery seen in late 2011 and early 2012, which saw growth accelerate to 2.2 per cent in the wake of the 2009 recession, appears to have moderated as growth (y/y) slowed to 0.7 per cent.
Employed non-Kuwaitis with at least a secondary education rose by around 3,100 during the first half of 2013. Total skilled employment stood at 350,000 at the end of June 2013, the report stated.
On the 2013 outlook, NBK said the strength in consumer spending is expected to be sustained through 2013, as employment growth remains solid and consumer confidence high.
"Household credit growth will continue to provide strong support though we can expect the pace of growth to moderate somewhat by the end of 2013. As for 2014, we can expect stronger non-oil GDP growth to further support private sector job creation, both among Kuwaiti nationals and skilled expats, the two pillars of consumer spending in Kuwait," it added.

"Everybody has a decent background in philosophy; they just don't know it."
At Princeton University, the Ancient World intramural team reigns as the dodgeball and 3-on-3 basketball champs. The team members put up a noble fight during indoor soccer season. And ultimate Frisbee? Well, perhaps that's their Achilles' heel.
As a graduate student, David Kaufman was a member of the team for six years. Was his commitment to those physical tests an opportunity to try on the ancient warrior code? A way to earn respect? Prove himself on the battlefield? Impose some meaning amid the savagery of life? Ensure his own fleeting existence has some timeless significance?
Nah. It was just fun.
But Kaufman thinks studying the ancient world and its literature gives students an opportunity to, in a sense, test their own moral code, their own beliefs, the philosophy or worldview they've adopted sometimes almost by default. After all, it might not be surprising that 2500 years ago people held some views very different from ours.
As Kaufman explains, "The goal isn't that students will embrace those views. But it might lead them to think a little harder about why they embrace the views they do."
And these studies inevitably raise the big questions, the questions we all think about although we may never formalize them.
What makes a good life? What sort of ambitions should I have? What sort of obligations do I have to other people?
These are the questions that philosophy investigates. "In a philosophy class, we take up those questions and explore them in a more complicated, nuanced way, a more open-minded way. Students are exposed to the questions all the time. It's just a matter of how you go about approaching them—through other texts and through a long history of people contemplating them."
Kaufman's goal is to get students to engage while they're in class, so they can benefit from hearing the views and interpretations of others.
"You want to have an environment where people feel comfortable asking questions, suggesting interpretations.
"What's exciting about being a scholar is that you're looking at texts that people have been trying to interpret for 2500 years. There's still a lot that's new to say about it. You actually have a contribution to make to the interpretation of these texts."
So what is Kaufman's advice to his students? Actively grapple with what you read. See how it applies to your life. See if it sparks any new insights you're willing to share with your classmates. Listen carefully to their interpretations, especially if they introduce a viewpoint you hadn't considered.
And during this process, this freeing of your mind, you may just find you've become a liberally educated citizen.

'That's My Boy' Explores The Far Reaches Of Vulgarity
That's My Boy
- Directors: Sean Anders, John Morris
- Genre: Comedy
- Running Time: 114 minutes
Rated R for crude sexual content throughout, nudity, pervasive language and some drug use
With: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Leighton Meester, Susan Sarandon, Milo Ventimiglia
Watch Clips
From 'That's My Boy' - 'Bike'
From 'That's My Boy' - 'Wassup'
From 'That's My Boy' - 'I Was Eight'
'I Was Eight'
Like the twisted love child of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" video and the Mary Kay Letourneau scandal, the Adam Sandler comedy That's My Boy opens with a middle-school Lothario bedding — and later impregnating— a sexually voracious instructor.
If their genders were reversed, That's My Boy would be cause for a congressional hearing. But in a film defined by juvenile fantasy, the kid becomes not only the class hero, but an '80s cultural icon on par with Vanilla Ice and Diff'rent Strokes' Todd Bridges (both of whom appear as themselves.)
Right off the bat, That's My Boy introduces what passes for a central theme: Don't be so sensitive, dude. What the stuffed shirts might call irredeemably tasteless, this movie calls politically incorrect, which is why the judge who hits the teacher with a 30-year statutory-rape sentence is depicted as a prudish harridan.
And the irreverence doesn't stop there: How about a 10-minute autoerotic session inspired by a sexy octogenarian? Or an obese stripper scarfing down eggs and orange juice mid-routine, while hanging backwards from a pole? In Sandler, boorish louts have finally found their champion.
After the prologue, That's My Boy cuts to the present day as Donny (Sandler), having long exhausted his 15 minutes of fame, faces jail time if he fails to pay years in back taxes. Though he raised his son Todd (Andy Samberg) as a single dad, the two haven't seen each other since Todd's 18th birthday, when the boy left his irresponsible father, changed his identity and eventually found success as a Wall Street hedge-fund manager. When Donny sees notice of Todd's upcoming wedding to uptight golddigger Jamie (Leighton Meester), he takes the opportunity to reconcile with his son and coax a little money out of him.
Donny and Todd are a study in extremes. Donny is a fouler version of the standard Sandler man-child, callous and puerile on the outside but soft as a turtle's belly-meat underneath. By contrast, Samberg's Todd is uptight and ineffectual, bowing to his fiancee's constant browbeating and reacting to adversity by stroking a fresh pair of underwear like a security blanket.
Todd has reason to be bitter about his upbringing — a diet consisting entirely of sugary treats has left him diabetic, and he was never taught simple things like how to swim or ride a bike — and for that, Donny can only apologize.
Yet the push and pull between Donny and Todd doesn't bring them somewhere toward the middle, as might be expected. From the film's warped perspective, Todd just needs to loosen up and be more like his beer-swilling dad, which means no more spa treatments, no soirees that don't detour through a strip club, no avoiding conflicts that can be resolved with a good 'ole sock in the jaw. That's My Boy isn't a comedy about a regressive '80s burnout who never grew up, but a paean to the virtues of remaining the same vulgar, bullying nincompoop at 40 that you were at 14. Not exactly the stuff of public-service announcements.
Normally forced to sanitize his blue-collar antics for a PG-13, Sandler and his collaborators play their R-rating to the hilt, mostly by adding stomach-turning gross-out jokes to the wedding-themed raunchiness of hits like The Hangover. But much like Donny, the Sandler of today hasn't changed much from the Sandler who introduced himself in Billy Madison nearly 20 years ago. He doesn't just appeal to the lowest common denominator — he's its jock-scratching embodiment.

The survey was carried out by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA). The results underline the need to promote and protect fundamental rights for LGBT people so they too can live their lives with dignity.
"Everyone should feel free to be themselves at home, work, at school and in public – but clearly, LGBT people often don't. Results from FRA's survey show that fear, isolation and discrimination are common in Europe's LGBT community," says FRA Director Morten Kjaerum. "We need EU-wide action to break down the barriers, eliminate the hate and create a society where everyone can fully enjoy their rights, no matter what their sexual orientation or gender identity is."
Some of the difficulties many LGBT people face include:
- Schooling: 2 out of 3 LGBT respondents were hiding or disguising being LGBT at school. At least 60% personally experienced negative comments or conduct at school because they were LGBT while over 80% in every EU Member State recall negative comments or bullying of LGBT youth at school. Therefore, Member States need to ensure LGBT students feel safe at school as this is where negative LGBT experiences, societal prejudices and exclusion often begin. This could include LGBT awareness campaigns for teachers and pupils and policies against homophobic bullying.
- Work: 19% of respondents felt discriminated against at work or when looking for a job, despite legal protection under EU law. This underlines the need for EU-wide action to counter the many obstacles LGBT people face to their basic rights in their everyday life.
- Fear: 26% of LGBT people who answered the survey had been attacked or threatened with violence in the last five years. 66% of respondents across all EU Member States were scared of holding hands in public with a same-sex partner. For gay and bisexual men respondents it was about 75%. This shows that LGBT victims need recognition and protection EU-wide and nationally to counter harassment and hate crime that results in LGBT people living in fear. This could include police training and victim support services as well as laws against hate speech and hate crime.
The survey also reveals that transgender people are the most affected among LGBT respondents to have personally felt discriminated against, particularly in employment and healthcare. About 30% said they were victims of violence or threats of violence more than three times in the year before the survey.
High levels of under-reporting of instances of discrimination and hate crime were also detected. This is despite 56% of respondents being aware of laws against discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation or gender identity. Half of all victims of violence and harassment felt that the police would do nothing. This pattern is not unique to the LGBT group researched. FRA found such under-reporting also in other groups, for instance, among members of ethnic minorities (See FRA hate crime reports, 2012).
The survey asked LGBT people whether they had experienced discrimination, violence, verbal abuse or hate speech on the grounds of their sexual orientation or gender identity. They were also asked to identify where such incidents took place, such as at school, work, when seeking healthcare or in public places.
The analysis of the survey findings are contained in two reports. They will feed into discussions in the EU and Member States on legislation and policies to improve the situation for LGBT people.
To read the report, see:
- EU LGBT Survey results: at a glance, which breaks down the key findings with simple graphs.
For further information please contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
Tel.: +43 1 580 30 642 and see the related media memo, factsheet and online data visualisation (where results for each EU Member States can be seen).
Notes to the editors:
- Over 93,000 LGBT people, aged 18 or above, from all across the EU and Croatia completed the online survey. For background on how the survey was carried out see the technical report.
- The survey results are being presented on International Day against Homophobia and Transphobia on 17 May 2013, at a conference hosted by the Netherlands government in the Hague.
- FRA has conducted socio-legal research since 2007 on the fundamental rights of LGBT people. See LGBT section for more information.
- The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) provides evidence-based advice to EU and national decision makers, thereby contributing to more informed and better targeted debates, policies and laws on fundamental rights.

Kyley Simmons to Transfer from Mizzou
COLUMBIA - Mizzou Women's Basketball head coach Robin Pingeton announced Monday that sophomore point guard Kyley Simmons has decided to transfer from MU due to personal reasons. Simmons averaged 3.5 points per game this season while shooting 33-percent from the floor and just over 29-percent from behind the three-point line. Simmons started in all 31 of the Tigers' games during her freshman season and earned 27 starts last season. The Council Bluffs, Iowa, native recorded 193 assists in her two-year Tiger career as well.
"Missouri has been great for me these past two years, and it is a difficult decision to leave," Simmons said. "But, due to personal reasons, my family and I agree that it is in my best interest to continue my education and career elsewhere."
"We are sorry to see Kyley leave," said head coach Robin Pingeton. "She was part of our first recruiting class here at Mizzou and we will miss her. We wish her nothing but the best in her future endeavors."
Missouri Women's Basketball finished the 2012-13 season with 17 wins, the most for a Missouri team since the 2006-07 season. The Tigers also advanced to the postseason WNIT, marking the program's first post season appearance since 2007. Mizzou earned wins over two top-15 teams this season with victories over No. 9 Tennessee and No. 14 South Carolina, marking the first time since the 2000-01 season that the program has earned a pair of top-15 victories.
