U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
In a motion unanimously adopted on April 19, 1995, the Commission directed the development, for its approval, of a National Enforcement Plan identifying priority issues and setting out a plan for administrative enforcement and litigation of the laws within its jurisdiction: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), the Equal Pay Act (EPA), and the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Also on April 19, 1995, the Chairman directed District Directors and Regional Attorneys in each field office to develop Local Enforcement Plans that will be consistent with the National Plan and that will tailor their priorities to the specific needs of the many different communities served by the Commission.
This motion was adopted at a special meeting convened on April 19, 1995, to consider recommended reforms to enforcement policies that had been established by the Commission over a decade ago. The recommendations had been developed by the Task Force on Charge Processing (Task Force) created by Chairman Gilbert F. Casellas and led by Vice Chairman Paul M. Igasaki which was charged with reviewing and analyzing the private sector charge processing system. More recently, partially as the result of the Commission's increased statutory responsibilities, the number of persons filing charges annually with the EEOC has risen from less than 64,000 in fiscal year 1991 to more than 95,000 in fiscal year 1995, a 49% increase. More funding to support additional staffing and other resources necessary to meet these new challenges has not been forthcoming.
The Task Force recognized that the Commission's effectiveness as a law enforcement agency had been reduced by the overwhelming increase in its inventory of individual charges of discrimination, by the lack of financial resources needed to address the increased workload, and by a failure to strategically utilize its resources to pursue its mission through vigorous investigation, conciliation, and litigation. In the 1980's, a number of enforcement processing and litigation policies based on principles of "full investigation and enforcement" were implemented.
The Task Force concluded that the policies and practices now prevented the agency from using its limited resources strategically to pursue its mission of eradicating workplace discrimination. To address this problem, it recommended the adoption of policies that would permit the agency to make the most prudent use of its resources to accomplish its mission. One of these recommendations was that the Commission develop National and Local Enforcement Plans that prioritize issues of discrimination for Commission action.
Given the comprehensive scope of the National Enforcement Plan, the Commission consulted with a broad range of external and internal stakeholders. Through this process, the Commission sought and received recommendations from dozens of representatives of the employer, employee, labor, and civil rights communities at both the national and local levels. In addition, the then-Acting General Counsel and then-Acting Director of the Office of Program Operations consulted with several District Directors and Regional Attorneys and asked all Regional Attorneys and District Directors to solicit suggestions from a wide range of EEOC staff, including union representatives.
Based upon this extensive consultative process and after its own careful consideration of the issues, the Commission adopts the following National Enforcement Plan (NEP) which will form the cornerstone of the Commission's efforts to achieve its statutory mission of eradicating discrimination from the workplace. The NEP recognizes that the Commission must use its limited resources more strategically to deter workplace discrimination, guide the development of the law, resolve disputes, and promote a work environment in which employment decisions are made on the basis of abilities, not on the basis of prejudice, stereotype and bigotry. The Commission also recognizes that regardless of resource issues, the development of this Plan is consistent with good management and reinventing government.
With this Plan, the Commission articulates the general principles governing the Commission's enforcement efforts, establishes national enforcement priorities, sets general parameters for the development of the Local Enforcement Plans, and delegates significant litigation authority to the Office of General Counsel so that the Commission can most effectively and efficiently accomplish its enforcement objectives.
The National Enforcement Plan incorporates the following principles, which have guided its development and will govern its implementation.
A. The Commission is committed to an enforcement plan that encompasses a three-pronged approach to eliminate discrimination in the workplace: (1) prevention through education and outreach; (2) the voluntary resolution of disputes; and (3) where voluntary resolution fails, strong and fair enforcement.
First, the Commission recognizes that achieving its fundamental mission -- the eradication of employment discrimination -- requires not only enforcement of the law, but also prevention of the problem through public outreach and education. Therefore, within current resource limitations, the National Enforcement Plan encourages that public education, outreach, and technical assistance be conducted at both the national and local level to support and enhance the enforcement activities directed by the NEP.
Second, the Commission is committed to the voluntary resolution of disputes where appropriate and feasible. The Commission recognizes that negotiated agreements that resolve claims of discrimination can directly advance the Commission's enforcement objectives, in addition to benefiting the parties to a particular dispute. The Commission believes that the use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) significantly furthers the Commission's mission as a law enforcement agency. Accordingly, the Commission strongly encourages its use as an integral part of our enforcement process.
Finally, the Commission is fully committed to firm and fair enforcement, including litigation, where voluntary efforts to achieve compliance fail. The Commission recognizes that an effective litigation program is critical to the furtherance of the Commission's enforcement agenda by enjoining current violations, deterring future violations, and providing remedies to victims of employment discrimination.
B. The Commission recognizes that given budget constraints under which it operates, it cannot be all things to all of its various constituencies. Moreover, the Commission must be candid with the public regarding the decisions that it makes. The adoption of this National Enforcement Plan and the subsequent adoption of Local Enforcement Plans will take critically important steps in this direction.
C. The combination of limited resources and increasing demands on the Commission requires a carefully prioritized and coordinated enforcement strategy. Strategic enforcement will assure the most effective use of the Commission's resources by assuring that available funds are devoted to efforts which have the potential to yield the greatest dividends in achieving equal employment opportunity. As part of this strategic enforcement strategy, the Commission is committed to the strategic and proactive use of its limited enforcement resources through, among other things, systemic investigations and litigation.
D. The Enforcement Plan must assure fair, aggressive and credible enforcement of all of the statutes enforced by the Commission regardless of the basis of discrimination or the issue.
E. Determination of whether a case should be pursued under the National Enforcement Plan will be based both on the issue raised and an assessment that the strength of the case supports the decision to proceed.
F. The Commission's enforcement activities will not be limited exclusively to the enumerated priority areas. With regard to charge processing, the Commission will issue cause findings in all cases in which it determines that it is more likely than not that discrimination has occurred and will proceed to conciliation in such cases. With regard to litigation, the Commission may pursue certain cases in which it has found cause, even though those cases do not fall clearly within an enumerated enforcement priority. At the same time, the Commission will not pursue litigation on every charge which falls within the NEP or LEPs. The Commission recognizes that it will be required to forgo litigating some good cases in order to devote adequate resources to other cases. At every stage of the process, the Commission will assess the available facts to determine whether the strength of the case and the nature of the issue supports the decision to proceed.
G. Enforcement efforts must be directed to the resolution of the Commission's pending inventory, in addition to the approximately 100,000 new cases which are projected to be filed over the next year. The Commission's recently implemented charge prioritization policies have already significantly reduced the Commission's current inventory, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue barring unforeseen circumstances. Both the National and Local Enforcement Plans must provide immediate strategies for continuing to reduce the existing inventory of cases. Such strategies should not ignore each office's need also to provide the resources necessary to support priority cases and address new filings. The backlog of cases is unfair to charging parties and respondents alike, diminishes EEOC's credibility as a law enforcement agency, and consumes valuable resources.
While the charge prioritization policies reflected in the NEP will permit the Commission to dedicate significant resources towards the Commission's goal of achieving a manageable inventory, the Commission recognizes that without a significant increase in resources, this goal will remain elusive.
Based on the above principles, the Commission has identified three major categories of priorities, which include a series of subcategories, that will provide the foundation of the National Enforcement Plan. These priority categories will apply, as appropriate, to investigation, conciliation, and litigation, including both trial and appellate practice, as well as the EEOC's amicus curiae and intervention representation.
The Commission sets forth the following areas as priorities under the National Enforcement Plan. These priorities will apply to each of the statutes enforced by the Commission and to all persons protected by these statutes.
A. Cases involving violations of established anti-discrimination principles, whether on an individual or systemic basis, including Commissioner charge cases raising issues under the NEP, which by their nature could have a potential significant impact beyond the parties to the particular dispute.
B. Cases having the potential of promoting the development of law supporting the antidiscrimination purposes of the statutes enforced by the Commission.
a. Claims presenting unresolved questions regarding the allocation of burdens in disparate treatment cases as set forth in St. Mary's Honor Center v. Hicks.
b. Claims presenting questions regarding the scope of liability under the statutes enforced by the Commission, including issues of employer liability in harassment cases and individual liability.
c. Claims of national origin discrimination involving language issues, including accent discrimination and restrictive language policies or practices.
d. Claims clarifying the Title VII duty to reasonably accommodate religious practices.
e. Claims raising unresolved questions under the Americans with Disabilities Act regarding the meaning of "reasonable accommodation" and the term "qualified individual with a disability," as well as the defenses of "undue hardship" and "direct threat."
f. Claims presenting questions regarding the interpretation of the prohibition of disparate impact discrimination under the Civil Rights Act of 1991, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans With Disabilities Act.
g. Claims based on the intersection of two or more prohibited bases of discrimination (e.g., discrimination against women of color, older women, or minority persons with disabilities).
h. Claims addressing the legality of agreements that mandate binding arbitration of employment discrimination disputes imposed as a condition of initial or continued employment.
i. Claims presenting unresolved issues regarding the provision of employee benefits, including claims arising under Title I of the Older Workers Benefits Protection Act, and the Americans With Disabilities Act.
j. Claims of comparable significance identified and approved in the Local Enforcement Plans.
C. Cases involving the integrity or effectiveness of the Commission's enforcement process, particularly the investigation and conciliation of charges.
With the adoption of these priorities, and pursuant to a Motion unanimously adopted by the Commission on April 19, 1995, the Commission hereby withdraws all Priority Issues Lists that have previously set out priority issues for Commission consideration.
Each District Director and Regional Attorney shall develop a Local Enforcement Plan (LEP) and a supporting document detailing its plan to implement the LEP. These documents shall be submitted concurrently to the Commission, the General Counsel and Director of the Office of Program Operations, no later than forty-five (45) days from the date of the adoption of the National Enforcement Plan. In turn, the General Counsel and Director of Office of Program Operations shall review the LEPs and submit their recommendations to the Chairman no later than twenty-one (21) days from the date that the LEPs are submitted by the District Offices. The Commissioners may also submit their comments to the Chairman on the LEPs and the implementation documents, as well as on the recommendations submitted by OGC and OPO, no later than thirty-five (35) days from the date that the LEPs are submitted by the District Offices. Then, the Chairman shall have thirty (30) days to determine whether to approve the LEPs. LEPs are to be consistent with the National Enforcement Plan, but their specific goals and objectives should be tailored to reflect legal and factual issues specific to the communities served by each office, as well as each office's resources. In particular, LEPs shall include the following critical components:
A. An evaluation and strategy to address the provision of Commission services to underserved populations and geographic regions, as well as employment practices of particular importance in the region served by each district office.
B. A description and identification of the local issues which are on the NEP.
C. A description of each office's plan to resolve the pending cases in the office's inventory, including the long-term plans of the district office to use ADR techniques as part of its charge processing activities.
D. In addition, each district office shall develop an implementation document supporting the LEP. This document shall describe the district office's strategy for utilizing its resources and give Headquarters information critical for planning, staffing, and the allocation of resources in the field. This document shall:
The Commission, by resolution of April 19, 1995, delegated litigation authority in certain cases to the General Counsel until such time as the Commission adopts the National Enforcement Plan. With the goals of increasing strategic enforcement for the General Counsel and field attorneys, freeing the Commission to focus on policy issues, and increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of our litigation program, the Commission now provides such delegation as follows:
First, the Commission delegates to the General Counsel the decision to commence or intervene in litigation in all cases except the following:
A. Cases involving a major expenditure of resources, e.g. cases involving extensive discovery or numerous expert witnesses and many pattern-or-practice or Commissioner's charge cases;
B. Cases which present issues in a developing area of law where the Commission has not adopted a position through regulation, policy guidance, Commission decision, or compliance manuals;
C. Cases which, because of their likelihood for public controversy or otherwise, the General Counsel reasonably believes to be appropriate for submission for Commission consideration; and
D. All recommendations in favor of Commission participation as amicus curiae which shall continue to be submitted to the Commission for review and approval.
Second, the Commission ratifies its decision to give the General Counsel the authority to redelegate to regional attorneys the authority to commence litigation. The Commission encourages such redelegation of litigation authority as appropriate.
Finally, the Commission restates and ratifies its April 19, 1995 delegation to the General Counsel of the authority to refer public sector Title VII and ADA cases which fail conciliation to the Department of Justice, as well as the authority to redelegate this authority to Regional Attorneys. Regional Attorneys are encouraged to consult informally with designated "point of contact" attorneys at the Department of Justice regarding significant legal issues that arise in processing state and local government charges that appear to have litigation potential.
The General Counsel will report to the Commission quarterly on each new case filed pursuant to the delegated authority procedure set out above. The report will briefly describe the issue, basis, and scope of the case, and indicate whether authority to file it had been delegated to the Regional Attorney by the General Counsel. The General Counsel's report shall include an assessment of how the delegation authority has been exercised and whether the Commission's stated goals have been better achieved as a result of the delegation. Such reports shall be presented for discussion at the first regularly scheduled Commission meeting after the Report is prepared. The General Counsel will establish procedures for monitoring the performance of Regional Attorneys and will report to the Commission on such effectiveness once each year.
The Commission's Policy Statement on Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), adopted on July 17, 1995, as well as the Commission's policy regarding settlements adopted on April 19, 1995, will apply to the implementation of the National and Local Enforcement Plans.
In the ADR Policy Statement, the Commission confirmed its strong commitment to using voluntary alternative methods for resolving disputes in all of its activities, including all aspects of the enforcement process, where appropriate and feasible. ADR is fully consistent with EEOC's mission as a law enforcement agency and is squarely grounded in the statutes enforced by the Commission. Used properly and in appropriate circumstances, ADR can provide less expensive, less contentious, and faster results in eliminating workplace discrimination.
ADR must be viewed as an integral component of its comprehensive enforcement program. ADR will complement current charge processing systems by facilitating early resolution of disputes where agreement is possible, thereby freeing up resources for identifying, investigating, settling, conciliating or litigating other matters. Improvements in the Commission's enforcement efforts should enhance the Commission's credibility as a law enforcement agency.
The Commission recognizes that negotiated agreements that resolve claims of discrimination can benefit the parties to a dispute as well as directly advance the Commission's enforcement objectives. While encouraging the use of ADR, the Commission recognizes that it must remain vigilant in assuring that ADR, as used by the Commission, does not conflict with or undermine our enforcement objectives.
Within these limitations, and in conjunction with ADR programs which it may itself implement, the Commission reemphasizes the important role of settlement and conciliation as an integral component of its comprehensive enforcement program.
On May 22, 1995, the Commission resolved to establish a new partnership with the state and local fair employment practices agencies (FEPAs), recognizing our common mission to eliminate and prevent employment discrimination and to provide timely and effective redress for individuals who have been discriminated against. The Commission adopted the EEOC/FEPA Task Force's recommendation that the Chairman should take actions to forge this partnership by eliminating duplication of effort that might exist with respect to the processing of the charges. As part of this process, the Chairman requested the Director of OPO to consult with field offices and FEPAs to explore the feasibility of joint investigative and enforcement activities.
The FEPA's enforcement efforts must be viewed as an integral component of the Commission's enforcement efforts. To enhance the roles of the FEPAs in the Commission's enforcement efforts, the Chairman suggested that the Director of OPO, in consultation with the FEPAs, review and discuss the recommendations of the Task Forces on Charge Processing and Alternative Dispute Resolution, exploring ways in which the principles and recommendations, particularly those concerning priority charge handling and the measurement of results, may be used to further our joint mission of eradicating and preventing discrimination. Therefore, the District Offices are encouraged to solicit suggestions from the FEPAs in developing and implementing their LEPs in an effort to minimize the duplication of efforts.
While this plan does not, and is not intended to, define the operational implementation of the enforcement priorities, the following considerations should guide implementation steps:
A. The top priority for charge processing (Category A), includes Enforcement Plan cases and, within resource constraints, other cases in which it appears more likely than not that discrimination has occurred.
B. A determination that a charge falls within the Enforcement Plan requires a determination that the issue raised is an Enforcement Plan priority as well as an assessment that the strength and potential impact of the case supports the decision to proceed.
C. Although it will be possible to categorize some charges as Enforcement Plan cases immediately upon receipt of the charge, the categorization of other cases will require further evaluation and investigation. The Commission is committed to devoting the appropriate level of resources to the evaluation and investigation of all cases potentially falling within the priorities enumerated in the NEP or Local Enforcement Plans. Nonetheless, district offices should endeavor to identify Enforcement Plan cases at the earliest possible time following receipt of charge.
D. Offices should develop procedures to assure routine and effective consultation between legal and investigative personnel in all phases of the identification and development of Enforcement Plan cases.
E. Cases falling under the enumerated priorities in the NEP and/or Local Enforcement Plans should be accorded priority in investigation with respect to speed, depth, and other measures of dedication of resources in order to assure that the investigation will support a subsequent and timely enforcement action if appropriate.
F. The Commission recognizes that some cases that fall within the enumerated priorities will require a commitment of substantial resources from the district office and may diminish that office's ability to pursue other cases in litigation.
G. In addition to charges filed by individuals, Commissioner's charges under Title VII and the ADA and directed investigations under the ADEA and EPA provide important enforcement tools under the Enforcement Plans.
H. All district offices with responsibilities under the Enforcement Plans should conduct outreach and educational activities and obtain on a regular basis input from stakeholders and interested groups on the effectiveness of the implementation of the National and Local Enforcement Plans. These offices should also conduct regular assessments of the communities they serve to identify any special needs or employment discrimination issues that may otherwise not be addressed.
I. The Commission recognizes that it may not be able to litigate every case that fails conciliation, including cases which fall within the National and Local Enforcement Plans. Thus, the Commission encourages the General Counsel, District Directors, and Regional Attorneys to work closely with the private bar, which continues to play a critical role in civil rights enforcement.
J. All components of all offices in headquarters and the field will work together cooperatively to efficiently and effectively accomplish the mission of the agency.
The General Counsel and the Director of the Office of Program Operations shall report quarterly to the Commission on the effectiveness of their efforts under the Enforcement Plans. These reports will include recommendations for amendments to the National Plan or Local Plans where appropriate for the Commission's consideration and, with respect to the General Counsel, the matters set forth in Section V.

In today's environment, companies experience constant change, from shifting stakeholder expectations to employees, customers and investors seeking deeper reasons for engagement.
Successful companies understand that an organization's character – what it believes and how it behaves – has become as important as the products and services it sells. They also understand that the business models, processes and tools that propelled them to success are no longer fit for today's complex, fast-paced, increasingly digital world.
Quick fixes and ad hoc investments will no longer suffice. Instead, organizations need to be thinking about foundational transformation that will give them the agility to adapt and flex as customer, investor and shareholder needs change.
We view transformation on a spectrum, with capability or your ability to perform on one end, and dealing with transforming your identity, the essence of why you exist as a company, at the other. We help you move your organization along this spectrum, unlocking the value at each point – whether it's tools and technology, process and function, organizational structure, operating model, business model or purpose.

We bring the best, newest thinking and the right resources to address your issues. And we access the knowledge and practices of a diverse range of leading global professionals who work seamlessly with you.
- What we do
Forces once thought to be intermittent and fleeting are now permanent fixtures in the environment.
These mega trends are causing organizations to think about and organize their performance transformation efforts in more proactive and structured ways. Execution of these efforts requires new perspectives, approaches and tools.
We help our clients execute change along the Transformation Spectrum TM.
When an organization leads with purpose, they move from a "burning platform" across the organization to a "burning ambition" for something better - moving from transforming based on fear to transforming based on desire.
Purpose aligns leadership where top executives work as a leadership team, not as a team of individual leaders. Purpose engages employees at all levels in actively creating and driving the transformation so that people bring their full potential to work.
Purpose inspires a new and distinctive approach to transformation that empowers people to activate in everything they do, which ultimately achieves the full expectation of value from the change effort by answering – "why transform?"
We also help our clients evaluate what they do and how they do it by understanding the outcomes and experiences that matter most, such as: "How do we become more customer centric?" or "How do we achieve brand coordination and a consistent customer experience?" or "How do we operate according to a set of corporate social responsibility standards that exceed expectations of stakeholders?" Answering these questions helps our clients determine the transformation effort along the spectrum.
Our practice has focused all of our energy and passion, all our resources and investments into understanding the transformation journey – leading with purpose. We are doing this because we believe we can make a difference – we can help transform industries, we can help drive outstanding business performance and we can improve the lives of all the people we touch in the process.
Who we are
We are a diverse team of consultants and industry professionals with a global mindset and a collaborative culture.
Our transformation architects seamlessly team to deliver the right type of transformation – from IT-enabled major program transformations to purpose-led transformation.
This comes naturally to us because EY is going through its own transformation towards our purpose of building a better working world. Our own journey teaches us important lessons that we can bring to you – and brings an understanding and sense of empathy for others on similar journeys.

Note: Every Thursday, post a food photo: it can be of what you're eating, what you want to eat, etc. It can be shot with any device, from a mobile phone, tablet, to a regular camera – point & shoot or SLR. It's all up to you but it must be YOUR photo, no ripping off of somebody else's work. And please include a short description. We want to know what it is and where to eat it too, if possible.
I don't get to bake anymore, not as much as I'd like to. I get a little sentimental sometimes, seeing the several baking posts that populated DCF's earlier years. But I change – oh how times have changed too! – and so must the blog.
When I do get to bake however, I listen to what I want. My desire to bake is heavily dependent on my mood, it's never been about anything else. Often, I'll go to sleep at night with an idea of what I want, usually it's a texture, like flakey and crisp; other times, it's a flavor I toy with – white chocolate and cream cheese is a recent flirtation.
But today, I want bread. Just bread.
The food photos I'm sharing today are those of my butter rolls. They're typical bread rolls made from an enriched dough, so called because it's made richer with butter and eggs and milk. I could've rolled each dough ball into regular rolls but I'm feeling fancy this morning. Weighing out equal portions of dough, I use my metal bread scraper to roughly chop three chunks of dough which are then plopped – yes, that's the word – into muffin tins. Ta-dah! Cloverleaf rolls. A swipe of butter for each clump, let rise 'til doubled, then off to the oven they go. As they bake, the balls rise and curl over each other, making for an approximation, though roughly so, of a cloverleaf.
These bread rolls are unlike anything that I've found in any restaurant bread basket, baking up as aromatic bundles with a pillow-tender crumb. My morning couldn't be any more fragrant or delicious.

Yes, dogs do laugh and give you the cold shoulder
Denver Post reporter Electa Draper had a great story last week about how scientists are now concluding that dogs are more than instinct-driven automatons. Canines are being credited with having rich emotional lives and a sense of morals.
It's about time. Any pet owner could have told them that years ago. I've lived with dogs all my life and I know it's true.
"We're not trying to elevate animals," said animal behaviorist Marc Bekoff, professor emeritus of the University of Colorado. "We're not trying to reduce humans. We're not saying we're better or worse or the same. We're saying we're not alone in having a nuanced moral system."
I will argue with anyone that dogs do smile and laugh. I've seen my chihuahua, Diego Rivera, crawl up in my lap for some petting and break into an unmistakable grin.

This image provided by the West Virginia Regional Jail & Correctional Facility Authority shows the booking photo of Salwa Amin.
Forget boots. It's more like Ms. Bengali in cuffs. Salwa Amin, the 24-year-old star of MTV's reality series "Buckwild" was arrested on Sunday in a drug raid outside of Charleston, W.Va.
Summersville Police Chief J. Nowak tells E! News that Amin was taken into custody with two other men after an informant tipped off the drug task force of a shipment of narcotics that was being delivered to a home via a car bearing Michigan license plates.

Authorities immediately began surveillance of the Nicholas County property and promptly noticed a lot of foot traffic coming in and out of the house.
After obtaining a search warrant, officers moved in where they found Amin and two other individuals, Shawn Booker and Jason Jones, the owner of the residence, hiding in a shed outside. A search subsequently turned up on Salwa a large quantity of Oxycodone in her purse while Booker had a sizeable amount of cash. Additionally, three bags of heroin were found in the shed.
Nowak said that Jones told police that Amin and Booker had transported the drugs to his home to distribute to other parties.

All three were arrested and arraigned on a charge of with possession on intent to deliver. They remain in the county jail with bail set at $200,000.
A rep for MTV had no comment.
"Buckwild" is the network's attempt to replicate the success it had with "Jersey Shore," only switch out the "Gym Tan Laundry," fist-pumping Italian set with rambunctious small town youth in rural West Virginia. According to her biography, Amin is the show's self-proclaimed "Bengali in Boots," a recent college grad who lives with her parents and "is always down for a good time."

"Buckwild" premiered on Jan. 3 and MTV recently announced that it's picked up the series for a second season.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
A century ago, the U.S. Army was the major presence in Wasatch foothills below Red Butte Canyon, and the University of Utah was a tiny collection of buildings arranged in a semi-circle.
The two institutions have long since reversed their footprints. As the U. expanded east to become a major research university, the Army shrank its presence at the once-formidable fort established by President Abraham Lincoln on 2,500 acres in 1862.
The U. has long hoped to move into the Army's last 51-acre holding in historic Fort Douglas a move Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch is now trying to expedite.
The fort formally closed as a military base in 1991, but close to 400 people still work in its century-old buildings headquarters staff for two Army Reserve commands, and staff from other Army, Navy and Marine Reserve units. Hatch believes he has an idea that could help the university expand without compromising military readiness or tapping taxpayers.
Federal law allows the government to raise money by renting under-used public property to developers under an arrangement called an Enhanced Use Lease, or EUL. Hatch has suggested the U. and the Army sign an EUL, letting the U. lease the Army's last Fort Douglas holding while the Army uses the revenue to build or lease facilities elsewhere.
"My goal is to make sure the University of Utah has sufficient room to expand, while simultaneously ensuring Utah's Army Reserve units have modern facilities to support their vital missions," Hatch, R-Utah, said in an e-mail. "We've been in communication with the Army Reserve and University officials about this and we're going to continue to work together to find a solution that works for everyone."
The office of Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, said moving the two Fort Douglas Reserve commands to Hill Air Force Base could be a good way to ensure they remain in Utah and help keep Hill off the hit list for future base closings.
Bishop's office said estimates from various sources suggest it would cost $60 million to $80 million to build replacement facilities. Activities related to the commands and the units are estimated to generate about $160 million in economic activity in Utah, and they require 500,000 square feet of administrative space and 22 acres for equipment storage, the office said.
While the Army Reserve's 96th Regional Readiness Command was being closed down at Fort Douglas in 2009, headquarters staff for two far-flung two-star commands moved in. They are the Joint and Special Troops Support Command and the 807th Medical Command, which oversee more than 20,000 Army Reservists located across the country.
Staff for those commands and the other Reserve units are housed in historic buildings above Mario Capecchi Drive north of Wakara Way.
Army Maj. Gen. Daniel York, who heads Joint and Special Troops Support, said the proposal is too preliminary for him to comment.
The 96th's former commander, Peter Cooke, now a Democratic candidate for governor, was instrumental in bringing the 807th to Fort Douglas, with help from Hatch.
"These are huge commands. It's a feather in our cap to have two here. It's one of the cheapest and smartest ways to keep a ready force in our country," Cooke said. "We need to keep those commands in Utah. We don't want to send a message that our state is not concerned."
Cooke, who has made safeguarding Utah's military assets a centerpiece in his bid to unseat Gov. Gary Herbert, said he explored moving the Reserve commands to Hill when he was still the commander. Moving to Hill would pose a problem to the many reservists who live in or near Salt Lake City, he said.
"It didn't make sense to move reserve units. It didn't fit the demographics. The headquarters need to be population-based," Cooke said.
The U. has already taken over most of the fort's land, covering it with residential, medical and research buildings. It developed the east side for student housing, which doubled as the Olympic Village for the 2002 Winter Games, and took costly steps to preserve and retrofit numerous structures.
Students and interdisciplinary academic programs now occupy many of the 19th-century sandstone and masonry houses near the tree-lined parade grounds. The fort's park-like core is listed as an historic district on the National Register of Historic Places and it remains home to a military history museum.
The U.'s eventual ownership of the last piece of Fort Douglas is envisioned in federal law. Nearly 20 ago, Utah's congressional delegation championed legislation that requires it to be transferred at no cost to the U. once the military deems it surplus property.
The most logical use of the property is adding it the U. campus, according to Jake Garn, the retired Utah senator who introduced the bill.
"I wanted to give the whole thing to the university. You don't need every square inch for the Reserve," said Garn, who served for two decades as a pilot in the Air National Guard and drilled at Fort Douglas as a junior Naval officer in the 1950s.
An EUL could speed the process of the U. taking over, by allowing the military to keep the title while generating revenue for relocating its Fort Douglas units. Such an agreement enabled the U.S. Air Force to lease 550 dormant acres of Hill Air Force Base to developers for Falcon Hill, an industrial park now under construction in Layton.
U. officials stressed they are not driving the proposal, although they would welcome gaining access to the acreage. It could be an ideal place to develop student housing and move peripheral services from central campus.
"Defense is important to everyone. We want to be sure the [military] units are appropriately housed and sited. The question of what is the best site is something the Army Reserve has to decide," said Fred Esplin, the U. vice president for institutional advancement.
The remaining portion serving the Reserve commands features seven U-shaped barracks, known as Soldiers Circle, built in the first part of the 20th century.
"We desperately need to upgrade our married student housing. Would that be an appropriate site? Perhaps," Esplin said. "We would have to study this carefully and we haven't yet."
Because of the historic nature of the barracks, the U. would be obliged to preserve them, which would require seismic retrofits and major renovations. The polo field framed by the barracks would be preserved as open space, but there are about 10 acres where new buildings could be located.

Electrocution of a painter leads jury to ponder the role of human factors in electric utility's design decisions.
Sometimes when human nature and human-made technology collide, what we know we should do and what we actually do often end up causing injury or death. Contact with power lines is a perfect example. Although most adults are very much aware that contact with a power line is quite dangerous, if not lethal, such contacts continue to occur each year. One interesting aspect of many of these instances lies in the fact that the victims knew — at some point — that the power line was there; they may have even made a mental note to stay clear of it. In this case, we explore an accident where an individual made contact with a power line in the course of his work. He knew power lines were dangerous; he also knew the power line was present at his work site. Tragically, the result of the contact was lethal. The result of the litigation that followed was surprising.
The scene
A self-employed painter, the victim was hired to paint a rural church. Surrounded by fields, the church property sat near a road that ran past the structure, separating the property from the fields across the road. Power was delivered to the church via a 7.2kV service drop.
The distribution lines delivering power to the church ran for a great distance along the opposite side of the road. Approaching the church, the 7.2kV line was brought across the road to power poles that then paralleled the front of the building. At the point where the power line was contacted by the victim, the power line had a horizontal clearance of 15 ft from the building, which was permissible under local code. The power line had a vertical clearance with the ground of just under 24 ft. The question of which came first — the power line or the building — was never clearly answered. The fact that the power lines crossed the road for no other apparent reason than to create specific proximity to the building suggested that it was designed to be proximate to the church and to minimize the length of the service drop. It was this proximity that ultimately led to this electrical contact incident.
The accident
The victim arrived at the work site, accompanied by his wife, who served as his helper. Preparing the surface for painting, he began pressure washing the church first, using a 32-ft aluminum ladder. Each time he needed to move the ladder, instead of lowering and raising it again, he angled the ladder upward and then moved it as necessary. Presumably, this was done to save time and unnecessary motions. Absent the proximity of the 7.2kV line, this method of repositioning the ladder posed no obvious risk.
At the instant of the contact, the victim was in the process of moving the ladder. The 32-ft ladder was upright, extending beyond the height of the power line. The sole witness to the incident, the decedent's wife, offered testimony that her husband was standing with arms outstretched, holding the ladder. Before collapsing to the ground, he asked, "What happened to me?" Efforts to perform CPR were unsuccessful, and the man died without ever regaining consciousness.
Upon further examination, entry burns were noted on the decedent's hands, as were exit burns on his feet. Burns were also noted on the ladder, and there was a contact mark on the power line. Describing the sound of the contact as a load roar, the witness explained that the contact lasted for a significant duration, during which time the decedent appeared unable to release the ladder, until he fell free from the connection several seconds later.
The allegations
The decedent's wife (plaintiff) and estate sued the electric utility (defendant), alleging that it was negligent by failing to reduce hazards, follow good engineering practices, and take local conditions into consideration. I was retained by plaintiff's counsel to serve as an expert in the areas of electrical engineering, pain and suffering, and human factors.
The defendant argued that it had met all statutory clearance requirements in its design of the power distribution system at the point of contact. Electric utility representatives also argued that the decedent was liable for his own death, because he'd placed the ladder in proximity to the power line in violation of local code. (Note: In most power line contact cases, defendants correctly take the position that for the contact to occur, the plaintiff would have had to have violated OSHA guidelines/local code by coming into close enough proximity to the power line to cause the contact.)
As noted in OSHA Standard 1910 Subpart S, unqualified personnel maintain a clearance at least 10 ft from overhead power lines rated 50kV or less. Section 1910.333(c)(3)(i)(A) states: When an unqualified person is working in an elevated position near overhead lines, the location shall be such that the person and the longest conductive object he or she may contact cannot come closer to any unguarded, energized overhead line than the following distances:
(1) — For voltages to ground, 50kV or below: 10 ft (305 cm);
(2) — For voltages to ground more than 50kV: 10 ft (305 cm) plus 4 in. (10 cm) for every 10kV greater than 50kV.
For more information on this standard, visit:http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=9910.
Investigation and analysis
After analyzing the accident details and considering testimony of the witness, I concluded that this was a significant shock, amounting to more than instantaneous duration, and estimated the current at 7A. (Note: Current was derived by applying Ohm's law. The voltage was 7,200V with 1,000 ohms used as a typical value for human resistance, thus yielding a current calculated at approximately 7A. Human resistance can vary wildly. In shocks such as this, resistance can be much lower, once the current breaches the skin barrier, which leads to much greater current flow than my conservative calculation of 7A.)
Based on the parameters of the shock, coupled with the fact that the witness indicated that the decedent had cognizance of his injuries before his death, I offered testimony that it was likely that the victim experienced significant pain and suffering prior to losing consciousness. In contacts such as this, it is probable that the cause of death was electrically initiated ventricular fibrillation. It is generally accepted that individuals who die from electrically induced ventricular fibrillation have a period of 10 sec to 30 sec in which they have an awareness that would include a knowledge of their plight and awareness of pain from the electricity and electrically induced burns. In the state in which this incident occurred, the plaintiff could collect damages for pain and suffering, even if the pain and suffering were extremely brief.
The biggest question to be argued in court was that of liability. Electric utilities spend considerable time and money educating the public. They disseminate electrical safety information in the schools, through public service announcements, through advertising, on their websites, and through inclusion in monthly electric bills. Arguably, no adult should be able to claim that they are unaware of the danger of power lines. It's also debatable that anyone who uses ladders as part of their profession has a duty to inspect the work area for risks, such as proximity to energized power lines. Certainly, they have a duty to adhere to OSHA guidelines regarding power line clearances. In addition, all aluminum ladders have a clearly displayed warning label regarding electric shock risk.
Assuming that the decedent did a proper inspection of his work area, he would have been aware of the presence of these power lines. Assuming that the power lines had proper horizontal and vertical clearances as per code — and assuming that the decedent had adequate education as to the risk present from such power lines and was at least slightly aware of OSHA guidelines — it would seem impossible for the electric utility to be held liable for this type of power line contact. However, in cases such as this, I maintained that human nature often conflicts with the presence of human-made technology.
In my opinion, electric utilities, having superior knowledge to that of the general public, have a duty to consider human nature in the design of their power distribution systems. It was my testimony that such knowledge required a design that superseded mere adherence to code. Explaining to the jury that these types of cases are not only foreseeable but also probable, humans often know of the presence of power lines but are then shortly thereafter injured by them. I call this the "wet paint phenomenon." One paints a wall, knows that the paint is wet, but shortly thereafter comes back and touches the wet paint without thinking.
Humans are designed to focus their finite reservoir of processing powers on the tasks at hand and rapidly start to exclude facts of ancillary importance. For a painter, the task at hand is his job, while the presence of power lines above and behind him becomes ancillary very quickly. Humans are also not designed to see static objects in the periphery of their visual field. Power lines are both static and in the periphery. We sense objects in the periphery of our visual field with the rods in our eyes. Rods are designed to detect objects in motion. This is most likely an evolutionary defense mechanism to detect attacks from the sides or above. Historically, static objects rarely pose a threat. As such, for humans focusing on their work, power lines rapidly become invisible.
Taken in totality, I testified that the electric utility should have foreseen this type of accident, considered human factors, and had a duty to go beyond mere adherence to the code. Had it placed the power lines a greater distance from the building, honoring the human factors that could come into play, the victim would not have died that day — as the openness of the area would have made it easy to dramatically increase horizontal clearances.
The verdict
In the final analysis, the jury agreed with the plaintiff. The jury was given the option to consider applicable code, but could also consider if circumstances dictated that the defendant had a greater duty. The electric utility was found 85% liable, while with the decedent was deemed 15% responsible for the incident. The jury awarded $4.85 million to the plaintiff, including more than $3 million in punitive damages. (Punitive damages are awarded to punish or make an example of a defendant who the jury deems has gone beyond mere negligence to behavior that is willful or wanton.)
Lessons learned
This case teaches us several lessons. Anyone who purveys a technology in which they have greater knowledge than the end-user has a duty that goes beyond meeting minimum standards and adhering to applicable code. Human factors and the nature of human interaction with technology must always be considered when making electrical design decisions. Expecting humans to adhere to ideals that exceed the nature of human design and performance is a recipe for disaster and liability. Mere warnings are never enough and should always be considered a last resort.
The best design is one that takes the risk out of the reach of those near the technology. Liability is foreseeable when designers rely too heavily on end-users to act to prevent injury. For the individual, knowing a bit about your own human nature can be a lifesaver. Knowing that power lines will become invisible, it never hurts to ask the electric utility to put protective shields on wires or to de-energize wires that might pose a risk. In the end, it all comes down to good design choices made with a broad consideration of all foreseeable risks.

Trump contradicts himself on Obamacare attack
Donald Trump muddled his attack on Obamacare during an event in Florida Tuesday, implying first that his own employees didn't receive health care coverage, then saying they didn't have to worry about Obamacare because they had access to health care benefits.
Trump was holding an event with workers at the Trump National Doral Miami Resort one day after the federal exchanges opened for Healthcare.gov and regulators announced that some rates are set to increase 25%.
It was a moment the Republican candidate sought to capitalize on.
"And I can say all of my employees are having a tremendous problem with Obamacare," Trump said.
But moments later, Trump said that his employees didn't have to worry about their health care because his businesses "take great care of people."
After the event was over, David Feder, the general manager of the resort, came out and spoke with reporters and attempted to clarify.
According to the pool report, Feder said he thinks the Trump Organization pays for health care for 95% of the company.
"The company typically picks up 75% of the premiums and the employee only picks up about 30%, so it's really a good deal for our staff," Feder said. "There really isn't a need for the vast majority of our employees to purchase Obamacare."
But Feder was hesitant to say Trump was incorrect in his previous statement because some people — he used seasonal workers as an example — may use Obamacare.
"I wouldn't say he's incorrect. I would tell you that the only employees that I know — again I don't have the books in front of me — that may purchase Obamacare are typically part-timers," Feder said.
When the Trump campaign was asked to clarify what exactly the GOP presidential nominee had meant, a spokesman referred USA TODAY to Feder's comments.

Kaeng Krajaan:
4 June, morning
A.Sujin: You have many friends who can answer your questions. *laughs*
Someone: ….
A.Sujin: yesterday and he was talking about, we were talking about metta or friendliness, and in the meditations centre she was talking about how the metta or love and kindness for oneself, .. so what it actually is attachment for oneself, already where one expects attachment for oneself, but I think it is a common way of thinking or teaching and even I think, like if we go to see some counselors, or advisor, in Australia, they would all also say that you need to have more respect or more love for oneself. Which you like to have more understanding?
Woman 1: yes, I suppose. I am trying to understand, the idea about the respect, so worth, um, because, because, I feel at the moment that, I have struggles with accepting who I am and myself worth, and wondering how that fix in with the idea of non self and, um, because I, when you talk about the attachment to oneself and there is already enough love for oneself, I think you, I don't really understand, how I am attached to myself when I don't feel like that.
A.Sujin: Is there attachment to oneself now.
Woman 1: I think there is.
A.Sujin: Just think its not enough, it must be very precise to really understand any word we are talking about. Like self or oneself, is there a I or self at this moment? Or not at all?
Woman 1: I, I think there is..
A.Sujin: Just think. So its not precise?
Woman 1: Umm
A.Sujin: Whats the I at this moment? see
Woman 1: yes there is.
A.Sujin: so is it just the I there, and just thinking about everything like we used to think like this and that. But actually there can be more understanding about whatever appears now. Not just think about it. Are you friendly now? See. Now think about friendliness. But now, are you friendly? *laughs*
Woman 1: I don't know that. *laughs*
A.Sujin: yes I know. So people talk about friendliness. Having more and more friendliness. But what is it? See. Without understanding, that we are talking about its impossible to know more, further more about that. So what is the self now? If you think that you are not clinging to yourself. Now. Or are you.
Woman 1: Yes I think.
A.Sujin: *laughs* to what? What is this self that you are clinging to?
Woman 1: Umm, having to be in certain way?
A.Sujin: Like now? No you or you? *laughs*
Woman 1: I don't know.
A.Sujin: This is the beginning of understanding whatever appears, otherwise there is no purpose of going somewhere and try to have a very good time, splendid time, very rewarding. No understanding. Even just what appears now, or whats the self now, or is there self now? Or is there no self now? So, we are talking about friendliness, its not just the word that anyone can think about, be friendly, that's not enough, but what is it. See.
Woman 1: Is it, .. but I want to try, because I would like to feel love. That's what..
A.Sujin: that's natural.
Woman 1: or accept the value
A.Sujin: for everyone it's the same feeling. But what is the understanding because Buddha taught the truth of whatever appears as it is. That is meant the enlightenment. Understanding thoroughly, deeply, as it is, but as we guess, but as we used to think about. Even the self, see, its not clear. When its not clear, it seems like, there is not self, but actually, there is, so much that it is not clear to talk about it. So you went to the meditation centre to have less attachment and more understanding? Or still clinging to get something without understanding? Even clinging is not clear, because without right understanding, who can thought of the difference between clinging and being friendly. And that is the self who does not know, when there is understanding, understanding is not anyone. It's a reality, which can understand that which hasn't been understood before. That's why we learn, listen and think over it. Study, developing understanding. So the … or it is usually transmitted through meditation, what does it mean?
Woman 1: I don't know *laughs*
A.Sujin: so it begins with no understanding, so it has more and more, no understanding and ignorance.
Woman 2: … your reasons for going on the retreat was because it seems to take an effort to always be with people, friendly and cheerful, so it was a way to withdraw, and she took it like a silence, because it has to be smile, and be associated with people.
A.Sujin: when you think of a funny thing, you smile or laugh alone. Right? Anywhere.
Woman 1: yeah.
A.Sujin: even there is a silence, but its already so funny. So it can condition laughing. Pleasant moment. And what about being friendly, in such, or what about now? Um, no more. *laugh* or it can be anywhere, and anytime. Yes, to anyone. That is the development of metta. And what do you do, in order to have more metta? There, I mean retreat to have more metta in what you do. Not like now? Or what? *laughs*
Woman 1: I don't know.
A.Sujin: see, not understanding anything, that can be understood, anywhere, anytime too.
Man 1: what Sarah just meant that, if we find that, being among people, is a condition for us, …. aversion so that … so it does not … to be among other people,…
A.Sujin: who wants that? *laughs*
Man 1: I am just explaining. And that can be the reason to go to retreat, for some people. Because then they don't have to interact.
A.Sujin: if one hasn't talked about one has lobha.
Man 1: for everyone its either attachment or aversion, when we talk about people, not wholesome, very little wholesomeness if there was metta, … that would be wholesome, because its, its not attachment, its not aversion, its friendliness. Um, so it doesn't really matter whether, for people there is attachment or aversion, but if you escape from that, somewhere else where there are no people to develop a wholesome quality.
A.Sujin: anyways, from understanding can anyone know whether its attachment or metta?
Man 1: so … a reason of company of other people, and enjoy that situation, for them, its cheesy because of the attachment, its natural.
Woman 2: and she was saying that, when we talk about, self love, or attachment for oneself, that it doesn't seem to hurt that there is much attachment to herself, because she needs more unhappiness or difficulty, when we are discussing how there is unhappiness or sorrow, actually its because of the clinging to oneself.
Woman 1: is that clinging because you want to cling to the idea of a certain way or
Woman 2: wanting to be a certain way, wanting what is seen to be a certain way, what is heard to be a certain way, what is seen much to be a certain way. Thinking of what one would like, how long they would like it to be. And unhappy when its not like that or when one is attached to a dozen lost. So therefore that is why there is clinging to self. Even if I think, thinking of clinging, is that clinging is, it doesn't necessarily means that it is a positive thing, but clinging is wanting more self love. I don't know.
A.Sujin: you think that you can be friendly to those around you, in their …. When they all come out, there still have such feeling of being friendly to all of them, not at the meditation centre, but anywhere.

The Giro went to Naples in 2009. Started there the day after Vesuvius.ReplyDelete
@anonymous: Thanks. I should have been clearer meaning to refer to either starting or finishing stages, the last being a finishing stage in 1996.ReplyDelete

Yeah, I agree.
I once Rat Sat for two weeks and really got to dig him. He was light brown and really nice and gentle...and absolutely loved to be around humans. Like if you sat him in a room, he'd run to a person sitting on the other side of the room..and want to be picked up. I dig on rats.

Aaron Marcus: Early Works
Exhibit - Multimedia | February 6 – June 30, 2019 every day | Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive
Educated in physics, mathematics, and philosophy at Princeton University and trained in graphic design at Yale, Berkeley-based Aaron Marcus explores new possibilities for expression. He created his first computer-assisted poem-drawings in the spring of 1972, when he served as a research associate at Yale Universitys School of Art and Architecture. Using standard typographical symbols, Marcus experimented with a photo-typesetting machine connected to a digital computer, reordering the symbols and their uses to create new meanings. The resulting works were meant to be seen as white symbols against dark fields, in which both the negative and positive space are significant. In these multicolored transformations of his original computer-generated forms, printed as lithographs and serigraphs, the artist makes connections between art, science, design, and visual poetry.

As one of the largest e-mail services in the world, Yahoo has to deal with plenty of spam-induced headaches. On Friday, they announced that they are working on a new software package, Domain Keys, that will hopefully reduce the frequency and severity of their migranes. The software, which will be made freely available to other large companies using open-source mail servers, will attempt to hinder the flow of spam messages using spoofed headers by requiring the message sender to authenticate before e-mail will be accepted.
Under Yahoo's new architecture, a system sending an e-mail message would embed a secure, private key in a message header. The receiving system would check the Internet's domain name system for the public key registered to the sending domain. If the public key is able to decrypt the private key embedded in the message, then the e-mail would be considered authentic and would be able to be delivered. If not, then the message would be assumed unauthentic and would be blocked.
The beauty of this system is that it wouldn't require cooperation on the part of every e-mail provider to make an impact. All it would need is a few of the larger ones to sign on to make a dent in the amount of traffic. The trade-off of more CPU overhead devoted to authentication vs. less spam traffic may be an attractive one, especially if Yahoo follows through with their plans to Domain Keys available free of charge and with little or no restriction. Yahoo won't wipe out spam, but if widely-adopted, their tool could make life more difficult, and thus less profitable for spammers for a time.

Let $F$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, $a\in F$, and $p$ a prime number. Show that $$f(X)=X^p-a$$ is irreducible in $F[X]$ if it has no root in $F$.
This answer to a related question mentions the result is due to Capelli.
I can prove the result if $F$ has characteristic $p$ as follows. Suppose $f$ is reducible: $f(X)=g(X)h(X)$ with $g(X)$ an irreducible factor of degree $m$, $1\le m<p$. Then if $\alpha$ is a root of $g$ in some extension field $K$ of $F$, we have $$f(X)=X^p-\alpha^p=(X-\alpha)^p$$ so its divisor $g(X)$ must be of the form $(X-\alpha)^m$. Since the coefficient of $X^{m-1}$ in $g$ is in $F$, we have $m\alpha\in F$. So $\alpha\in F$ because $m$ is invertible modulo $p$.
How would you show the result in other characteristics?

The Houston Independent School District has named Taxis Fiesta and Yellow Cab as "HISD North District Volunteer of the Year." Yellow Cab and Taxis Fiesta are proud to support youth in our community through programs such as the Taxis Fiesta and Yellow Cab mentoring program which matches at-risk students with Taxis Fiesta and Yellow Cab employees who provide tutoring and goal-setting guidance during bi-weekly one-on-one lunches throughout the school year and several group field trips annually.
Spring Branch Independent School District's Coordinator of Partnerships and Volunteers recently wrote to Yellow Cab and Taxis Fiesta to thank the companies for their participation in the district's "Texas Scholar" program in which business and community leaders give classroom presentations to 8th graders about opportunities in high school and beyond. SBISD says the companies' letter of support was instrumental in securing a $700,000 mentoring grant from the US Department of Education.

Chordee causes downward curvature of the penis, which is most obvious during an erection.
Chordee occurs when the baby is developing in the uterus. It is sometimes due to a shortened urethra or having thick tissue around the urethra. The urethra is the tube that connects the bladder to the outside of the body so that urine can exit. Other times, the problem may be due to the skin on the bottom side of the penis being too short. The cause is unknown.
Risk Factors
Chordee is more common in children with hypospadias or a family history of hypospadias. With this condition, the opening of the urethra is on the bottom of the penis instead of at the tip of the penis.
Chordee may be diagnosed during a physical exam. A specialist called a urologist may do a procedure to create an artificial erection. This allows the doctor to examine the penis. Chordee may also be found during surgery to fix another problem that affects the penis.
This condition may not be detected until later in childhood.
In mild cases, surgery may not be needed. Your child's condition will be monitored. In other cases, surgery may be done to straighten the penis. The curved appearance will be straightened by:
- Removing tissue that is curving the erection
- Making the longer and shorter sides of the penis equal in length
- Lengthening the urethra if the urethra is short—tissue from the foreskin or another site will be used
If needed, surgery is usually done in children aged 6-18 months old, but it may be done at any age.

Academy for Creative Media sponsors Women's Filmmaker InitiativeUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Academy for Creative Media
HONOLULU — The Academy for Creative Media (ACM) has created a Women's Filmmaker Initiative and selected two ACM students to receive the 2007 awards.
Joelle-Lyn Sarte and Randee Chang will each receive $1,250 to produce their short films, "Home Again," a live-action short, and "One Time Dis Magic Guy…," an animated short film.
"I feel that this grant is a great opportunity for women filmmakers to share with the world their experiences living in such a culturally rich environment. Personally, this grant is a source of motivation—to be able to tell the stories that I would like to share and give people a little insight to what kind of person I am," said Chang upon receiving her award.
Sarte added, "I am both grateful and amazed to see the ACM and the university's Diversity and Equity Initiative place significance on the efforts to get women filmmakers' voices heard."
ACM Assistant Professor Joel Moffett, who heads the screenwriting program, noted, "The Women's Filmmaker Initiative is a perfect example of what separates the ACM from other film schools on the mainland—we go out of our way to nourish unique voices from underrepresented groups."
The Academy's Filmmaker Initiative is a screenwriting competition to provide essential funding for the production of two narrative or documentary media projects created by women from traditionally underrepresented ethnic groups, including Native Hawaiian, Filipino, Melanesian, Pacific Islander, Puerto Rican, Samoan, Fijian, Micronesian, Asian, Asian American, African, African American, and Hispanic. The competition is supported by a grant from the university's Diversity and Equity Initiative ( www.hawaii.edu/diversity).

2) Soil – a very important part of sowing- Take Agropeat / Cocopeat (Agropeat / Cocopeat) and mix it in water and keep it overnight. (Ratio of Agropeat to water – 1kg of Agropeat to 5 litre of water) Use that mixture to mix it with soil (Ratio of Agropeat mixture to Soil – 80:20) Agropeat helps in the germination of seeds a lot.
3) Sow - Take a seed Tray (A seed tray available of various holes sizes), fill the above mixture in all the holes of the seed tray, and then Sow 2-3 seeds in each hole (.5 or 1 inch deep in the soil hole)
4) Water – Taking care while watering is very important in the first few days of sowing. For the first 10-12 days water the seed/ Soil only through a garden Water sprayer / sprinkler (nozzle of water sprayer set to sprinkle) as hush of water will break or flush the seed.
5) Care – Keep an eye on the soil and seedling growing, if it by any chance it gets attack by intruders (Weed / Pest / Ants) keep your ammunitions ready, recommend Organic Pest Nil, Organic Ant Kill to protect your plant.
