On March 21, nearly 100 middle school students on Vista Verde Elementary School's Team Kids Leadership Team hosted a carnival at the school to cap off a month of collecting food, supplies, letters and books for various charities.
Nearly 900 students attended the carnival, which featured several game booths that the kids created themselves. Adding to the excitement, a live band, Elu the Dust, donated its services by playing at the event.
Also pitching in were several parent volunteers and a few lucky faculty members, including Vice Principal Joseph Vidal, who agreed to have his hair and face painted and to be the target for a water balloon toss.
The event raised $1,100, which will go to CHOC Children's – the overwhelming favorite voted on by the Team Kids Leadership Team.
Leading up to the carnival, students collected 2,077 items and letters for Operation Gratitude, collected 1,500 books for donation and filled six large donation bins for Families Forward. All in all, the kids raised an equivalent of $7,150 in cash and donated goods during the month-long Team Kids Challenge.
Team Kids focuses on getting children involved in making a difference in the lives of others. Students work side-by-side with teachers, community leaders and service personnel, and 100 percent of the funds raised by the kids goes directly to the charity they choose.
What could be better than that?

Policy Brief - Energy Technology Innovation Policy Project, Belfer Center
Energy Innovation Policy in Major Emerging Countries
This policy brief is based on Belfer Center discussion paper #2010-16.
- The six BRIMCS countries are major players in ERD&D. With a minimum of $13.8 billion (PPP1) in ERD&D investments by governments and 100 percent government-owned enterprises in 2008, the governments in the BRIMCS countries may have control over greater amounts of ERD&D funding than the member countries of the International Energy Agency, whose government investments in 2008 were estimated at $12.7 billion (PPP1).
- Government-owned enterprises have a central role in the government structures and allocation mechanisms for energy RD&D investments in the BRIMCS countries. The role of governmentowned enterprises is, however, not uniform throughout these countries and across different energy technologies. Any government effort to cooperate with or among the BRIMCS countries needs to be tailored to the governance structures and innovators of a particular country.
- A better understanding of energy-technology innovation policies across countries would be helpful to stimulate international learning. Demonstration projects, policies that promote entrepreneurial activities, and more coordination of deployment policies for renewable energy technologies or energy efficiency provide important opportunities for cooperation.
New Harvard Kennedy School research finds that energy research, development, and demonstration (ERD&D) funding by governments and 100 percent government-owned enterprises in six major emerging economies appears larger than government spending on ERD&D in most industrialized countries combined. That makes the six so-called BRIMCS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, China, and South Africa—major players in the development of new energy technologies. It also suggests there could be opportunities for cooperation on energy technology development among countries.
Over the past decade, the six BRIMCS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, Mexico, China, and South Africa—have become important global players in political and economic domains. In 2007, they were collectively responsible for a third of the world's energy consumption, driven by China's growing energy use. Despite their increasing significance in the world's energy sector, very little systematic analysis of their energy investments, innovation institutions, and energy innovation policies has taken place. The International Energy Agency (IEA) is one of the few agencies that have been collecting data on ERD&D investments, but none of the BRIMCS countries are members.
The study has collected existing data on public and private energy RD&D investments and conducted a systematic comparative analysis of energy technology policies in the six BRIMCS countries. The data used in this analysis came from a wide range of institutions (governments and government-owned enterprises, etc.) using different definitions and levels of comprehensiveness of what is included in RD&D. The comparative analysis examined: (1) the administrative entities and procedures that set the direction of government support for energy innovation activities; (2) the allocation mechanisms for ERD&D support; and (3) the most important institutions and policies that the governments put in place to accelerate energy technology innovation.
The report finishes with a systematic analysis providing concrete recommendations for coordination and cooperation among and with the BRIMCS countries.
The data suggest that in 2008, a minimum of $13.8 billion was invested by governments and 100 percent government-owned enterprises in ERD&D in the six BRIMCS countries. The majority of these funds (82 percent) are invested in science and technology activities by 100 percent government-owned energy enterprises in China. Assuming that these activities relate to "new" technologies rather than commercially available technologies, the results suggest that governments in the BRIMCS have control over larger amounts of ERD&D funding than governments from the IEA member countries, whose total government investments were $12.7 billion in 2008. Governments in the BRIMCS countries are able to direct greater amounts of ERD&D investments towards particular energy technologies than governments in the IEA member countries. However, the BRIMCS countries are also limited in their ability to shift funds away from the sectors in which their government-owned enterprises are operating. This ability to control investments could also be understood as giving the BRIMCS countries an opportunity to better align the energy innovation system of their country to their national priorities.
Data on private investments in energy RD&D in both the BRIMCS and IEA countries is scarce, so direct comparison between the total energy RD&D investments in the BRIMCS countries and that in IEA member countries is not possible. This study collected data on an additional $4.8 billion of investments by private industry, partially government-owned enterprises, and local governments in the BRIMCS countries in 20082. However, the data is incomplete, which underlines the need for a common and systematic methodology for reporting energy RD&D investments.
Another significant finding is that there is limited data on funding in these six countries for renewable energy technologies, energy efficiency, and transmission, distribution, and storage. Some aggregated data sources of funding information on these three technology areas are available and have been reported as part of the "not specified" energy technologies category. Despite the large sum of unspecified energy RD&D investments, the data indicate that fossil and nuclear energy combined receive higher levels of government funding in the BRIMCS countries than any of the other energy technology categories.
This analysis suggests several opportunities for cooperation among and with the BRIMCS countries, including new policies to support demonstration projects in all five energy technology areas (fossil, nuclear, renewable energy, energy efficiency, and transmission, distribution, and storage). Second, most BRIMCS countries have a large overlap of policies and institutions supporting the deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. Third, there are too few policies and institutions supporting entrepreneurial activities. These gaps and overlaps offer opportunities for coordination and learning.
The BRIMCS countries are major players in ERD&D. Policymakers can no longer ignore the large investments that are taking place in these countries which will impact energy technology innovation in their own country. Unlike the industrialized countries, most BRIMCS countries coordinate and support ERD&D to a large extent through their governmentowned enterprises. Government efforts to cooperate with or among the BRIMCS countries need to be tailored to the governance structures and innovators of a particular country.
Despite the increased support within the BRIMCS countries for the development of renewable energy technologies, fossil and nuclear ERD&D still dominated government investments in the BRIMCS countries in 2008. Since most government-owned companies are either dedicated to fossil or nuclear energy, larger increases in government investments to renewable energy technologies may not be straightforward to manage. Governments in the BRIMCS countries will need to manage the role that government-owned enterprises can play in increasing investments in alternative sources of energy.
The governments in the BRIMCS countries are reporting limited information on their ERD&D investments. Data sources are not comprehensive, and there is a lack of common definitions of what constitutes ERD&D. This study recommends that policymakers invest in data collection methods that are more transparent, comparable, and provide detailed insights into how investments have evolved over time.
Substantial differences in government structures and ERD&D allocation mechanisms among BRIMCS countries means that different stakeholders will need to be involved in order to make these cooperative activities work. In each instance, policymakers will have to determine which actors to engage with, what activities to target, and the aim of the cooperation.
Finally, a more systematic analysis is required to find opportunities for cooperation. It is extremely difficult to measure and compare the actual impact of policies on energy technology innovation in different countries. However, the comparative framework used in this paper—categorizing policies and institutions on the basis of the stages, actors, or functions they target—provides a first step toward a more structured approach to international cooperation.
1 Purchasing Power Parity
2 In comparison, the Bloomberg New Energy Finance database reports a total of $1.8 billion current dollars of venture capital and private equity (VC/PE) investments in energy in the BRIMCS countries and $19.8 billion current dollars of asset financing in energy in China in 2008.

USA Today – Apple is "blown away" by consumer response to the next-generation of its popular smartphone, which sold out for pre-orders in just minutes on Friday, spokeswoman Natalie Kerris says. And when iPhone 5 goes on sale in stores later this week, analysts predict lines as long as the record queues seen for the iPhone's debut in 2007.
"It will be a madhouse," says Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster.
Richard Doherty, an independent tech analyst with the Envisioneering Group, says this is "the most awkward Apple launch since the first iPhone."
"Apple expected the pre-orders to be a 10-hour cycle, and they were shocked that it was just one hour. They clearly were caught by surprise by the size of the orders," Doherty says. Had they continued fulfilling online orders, "they might have only had two phones available at stores on Friday."
VIDEO:Ed Baig and Jefferson Graham go hands-on with the iPhone 5 at Apple's launch event
Phones ordered online won't be delivered until Oct. 5 at the earliest, according to Apple's website. And analysts say phones available at retail, starting at 8 a.m. Friday, will probably be sold out by Sunday.
Munster projects sales of 6 million to 10 million iPhone 5s in the first week, most of which will be in the Friday-Sunday time period. That compares to sales of 4 million of the iPhone 4S on its first weekend last October.
Munster says the iPhone 5 probably won't be back in stock for weeks. "For the iPhone 4 and iPad 2, they were gone after the first weekend, and there were lines for weeks afterwards," he says.
The iPhone 5 starts at $199 with a new or extended two-year contract. If you're not yet eligible for the upgrade, the iPhone starts at $649.
Here's where to get the phone:
Apple. Brave the line at an Apple retail store (Munster thinks fans will start lining up earlier in the week.) Doors open at 8 a.m. (local time) on Friday.
Walmart. You can pre-order in the store with a $25 deposit, and return to pick it up. Calls to random Walmart stores said the phone might be available Friday or later, depending upon the size of its shipment. The chain throws in a free movie rental from its Vudu digital service.
Best Buy. The iPhone 5 goes on sale Friday, in-store. The online site isn't taking orders or pre-orders, but is taking them in-store, with a $50 deposit. It hopes to fulfill orders on Friday.
Radio Shack. Pre-order in store with a $50 deposit, and come back for the phone. Calls to stores said buyers should get their phones, if not by Friday, then by Monday.
The wireless carriers. AT&T (ships within 14-21 business days), Verizon (ships Oct. 5) and Sprint (ships Oct. 5) online with pre-orders. Or purchase at stores on Friday.
"I'd recommend consumers skip the carrier stores on Friday because they'll try to upsell you on services, and the line will go really slow," Doherty says. "They might find more satisfaction at a retailer."
Doherty believes the line for the iPhone 5 will be the longest and most intense since the first iPhone went on sale in 2007, attracting as many as 1 million folks. But there's more to it than just heavy consumer demand in the U.S.
Consumers in other countries where the iPhone 5 won't be on sale until later also want to be first on the block with the hot new device, and will pay handsomely for it. Doherty thinks every other person on the line will be buying phones to ship out to buyers elsewhere.
"We expect a lot of FedEx boxes to be going out to China that day," Doherty says.

But the truth is, games aren't pitched like movies or TV. What gets a game green lit is invariably tech or gameplay driven. A studio discovers they can do incredible realtime zero-g simulation with their engine? We're doing a space adventure! Did the design team discover some super fun time-based game mechanic?

CHICAGO (AP) — In a city known for its love of both eating and bragging about its hot dogs, this was news nobody relished: Gourmet stand Hot Doug's, known for serving up options made of rattlesnake and yak, is closing. And the owner of another local hot dog institution, Portillo's, is thinking of selling.
Doug Sohn's announcement this week that he's closing his "sausage superstore" in October after more than 13 years – saying only that it was time to move on – triggered an outpouring of distress. And taking inspiration from Green Bay, where fans own the Packers football team, some Portillo's devotees have called on others to band together to buy the chain of 38 restaurants, most in the Chicago area.
"When I heard (Hot Doug's) was closing, it was heartbreaking," said Lakhi Siap, 25, a community organizer whose place in line there put him maybe an hour from ordering.
If it all seems a bit extreme, it makes sense in Chicago. The city's love affair with hot dogs dates back to 1893, when visitors to the World's Columbian Exposition gobbled up the odd-looking sandwiches by the thousands, and industry experts say sales remain steady. An estimated 200,000 are sold in the Chicago area a week, according to Timothy O'Brien, co-president of Chicago-based Vienna Beef.
"The hot dog is a symbol of Chicago," said Peter Alter, archivist at the Chicago History Museum, which features a giant plastic bun where kids can lie down like a frank and cover themselves in fake relish, mustard, pickles and the rest of what gives a hot dog its Chicago style.
The food is also a connection to the past of both the city and its residents.
"My grandfather took my dad to Portillo's and my dad took me there," said Eric Holtrop, a banker who supports what he and others acknowledge is the longest of long shot efforts to buy the half century-old business. "What if a bunch of Chicagoans pull together?"
The owner of Portillo's has suggested he's considering selling to capitalize on the brand's popularity.
Sohn's Hot Doug's, meanwhile, is important for another reason, said Bruce Kraig, a historian, hot dog expert and co-author of "Man Bites Dog: Hot Dog Culture in America."
"He was on the cutting edge of turning hot dogs into a kind of cuisine, a kind of fine dining," said Kraig.
Even if Sohn didn't invent the upscale hot dog, he was in the room when they started making them out of rattlesnake (Siap's favorite), kale and walnut pork sausage (one of Wednesday's specials), and foie gras (an ingredient that netted Sohn a $500 citation when he flouted a city ban, since overturned, a few years back).
Hot Doug's reputation drew Jeff and Angie Bridges, the owners of a San Antonio wine bar, to decide they had to stop there after seeing it win praise on television by the likes of chef and author Anthony Bourdain.
"We would have been devastated if we'd not come here before it closed," said Angie Bridges.
Kraig contends that the lines outside Hot Doug's and the front-page attention Sohn's announcement received say something else about the city – "We can say, `We do this better than New York,'" he said.
Sohn prefers to talk about what he believes the reception to his announcement illustrates – Chicago's undying loyalty to its beloved fare.
"All the fancy stuff is nice, but in Chicago it's the hot dog," he said. "That's why I opened."

Yesterday this pedal came in the mail. I was fascinated by the origin (from the hands of the AC30 designers) but also wanted to hear it in action.
Fired up the unit has a HUGE volume boost with the phaser engaged or in bypass mode. It is not true bypass I suppose. The phaser has no LFO and can be used by rocking the pedal forwards and backwards. It can be activated the same way as a crybaby wah.
The sound is surprisingly nice. A very complex phaser sound that I was not expecting from it. Looking at the circuit it only has transistors, no IC can be found. (if I recall, I've never seen a pure transistor based phaser).
More pics will follow; I'll trace it when I got some spare time!

End of the autumn Syksyn loppu
Viime viikolla satoi ensilumi, joka onneksi on jo melkein sulanut. Nämä kuvat on otettu tänään ja avoimella paikalla missä morsinko ja väritatar (morsinkojen taustalla kuvassa) kasvoivat lunta on vielä, mutta puiden alla varjopuutarhassa lumet ovat sulaneet. Kevät ei tunnu niin kaukaiselta kun katselee pionien nousevia piippoja:)
Last week we got the first snow this year, but most of the snow has now melted. These photos were taken today, and in the open field where woad and japanese indogo grew (in the background of the woad) there is still some snow, but in my woodland bed the snow has melted. Spring doesn't seem so far away when I look at the peonys coming up from the ground:)
5 comments:
are you also having a mild and late fall? i picked a dandelion today. shocking!ReplyDelete
Hi, yes, last winter was cold and long, and now this fall is warm and late, more to what I like:) No dandelions here but my snowdrops are also peaking from the ground and some of my hellebores have big flower buds:)ReplyDelete
Lovely pictures. Does the woad and Japanese indigo grow there naturally, or did you plant them? Woad grows wild in my state, but further east.ReplyDelete
No, neither one grows naturally here, and japanese indigo is an annual here. Woad may over winter if the place is right but in my garden more than half of my woad plants have always died during the winter (but that's ok, because the first year leaves give the best blue anyway). There are couple of places near the coast where woad grows naturally and I think they are protected there.ReplyDelete
Interesting. I've read woad is considered a weed in parts of the US, including some parts of my state of Oregon, where it grows so well it crowds out the grasses used for cattle feed. I've not seen it growing wild locally, though, or maybe just haven't identified it. I've thought of trying to grow some but want to be sure it's not prohibited :-)ReplyDelete

They are all so different. Yes, pay in Mexico is higher, but so is the cost of living. Money is an issue if you want to sent it out of whichever country. If you're fine with spending it all in country--you could be making half as much in US dollar terms in Bolivia, but be living just as well. I've lived in Chile, Ecuador, and Mexico, and visited, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica and Guetemala, people often ask me which I prefer. If they are from one of those countries I say their homecountry. If not I tell the truth, they are all so different and all have wonderfull aspects, I could never qualify one as best. I've found a place for myself in Mexico, but I don't think it is better here. Rather than, job stablity, safety, and politics, I suggest you make a list of things you like doing and see what place matches up with that. For example, I live 9 hours from the sea--that's okay for me, but I know it would be hell for others. Going by your name--naturegirl I'd suggest Ecuador--just about every climate in a small area and they change with the elevation rather than with the seasons.

Back to top matttheboyJoined: 01 Jul 2003Posts: 854Location: Valparaiso, Chile Posted: Sat Jun 05, 2004 6:45 pm Post subject: chile? No chance...... Personally i would avoid Chile like the plague, especially Santiago. It is the most soul-less and unpleasant city i have ever visited, infested with rude, arrogant, obnoxious, agressive and extremely racist Chilenos (`why do you want to visit peru and bolivia-they`re full of monkeys. And they`re dirty. And all Argentinians are dishonest thieves. Ser chileno hay muchas ventajes`). I should add that my very lovely Chilena girlfriend lives in Santiago and these are all comments that i heard from her well travelled and educated family, friends and associates-and more than once (and they also all make the `slitty`eye thing with their hands to their eyes whenever they talk about anything to do with Asia). Fortunately my girlfriend is a little more enlightened, but she is not the norm. Another Chilean custom is `abajo! abajo! botalo! botalo!`which basically means that if there`s an historic building or anything antiguo you should immediately tear it down and build a high rise blocks of flats or offices, making for a very ugly city. And i haven`t yet mentioned the all enveloping smog due to the fact that the city`s only redeeming feature, the Andes that surround it, makes it impossible for the fumes and smoke to filter away. I have spent a fair amount of time in Santiago and can promise you that you`ll be better off pretty much anywhere in Argentina (i`m in mendoza next to the Chilean border) or you could try Ecuador where i worked for a few months (in Quito). It`s a small country with a mix of everything South America has to offer (beaches, jungle, mountains, Andean culture, corruption and gun point muggings). And there are a lot of jobs. Wherever you end up make an effort to learn Spanish and speak to locals, you`ll enjoy yourself a hell of a lot more.

The New York Mets were roasted during their first year at Citi Field because the new stadium showed more a Brooklyn Dodgers feel than that of the Mets.
That never would have happened had Buck Showalter been running the show. Showalter, who is cut from the original old school cloth, gets it when honoring the game's past.
Frank Robinson was in Orioles' camp Monday and Showalter casually asked 19-year-old prospect Josh Hart if he knew about the Hall of Famer, a member of the 500-homer club and one of the three greatest players in club history along with Brooks Robinson and Cal Ripken.
Incidentally, Robinson was also the first African-American manager in major league history, and as a black man, you would think that's something Hart would want to know.
When Hart said he didn't know, Showalter assigned the rookie to write a one-page report on Robinson. Kind of like "I will not talk in class,'' 100 times on the blackboard.
Hart not knowing Robinson ranks just below on the ignorance scale of LeBron James – who prides himself as a basketball historian – leaving Bill Russell off his NBA Mt. Rushmore.
The Robinson-Hart reminds me of something that happened in spring training several years ago, and also involved Robinson.
Then Mets-GM Omar Minaya asked former prospect Lastings Milledge to follow him across the field to the Washington dugout to introduce him to then-Nationals manager Robinson.
Milledge could not have been less interested and showed Robinson zero respect. And, in doing so showed the same amount to Minaya.
It was a precursor of things to come for Milledge, who was chastised by manager Willie Randolph for not honoring the game's unspoken traditions, and later by his teammates, who posted a sign on his locker saying, "Know your place, Rook. Signed, your teammates.''
Milledge never did get it and his career fell into "what might have been,'' status. Here's hoping Hart gets the message.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will conduct a five-day training exercise beginning April 26 in the Susquehanna River adjacent to Pittston City, Pa., to test the emergency response system for the Butler Mine Tunnel Superfund site.
During the exercise, contractors will use work boats, a small barge, and several hundred feet of orange containment boom. The Pittston City Riverfront Park will not be accessible for public use during the exercise (April 26-30).
The Butler Mine Tunnel, built in the 1930s as a collection and discharge point for mine drainage from a five-square-mile area of underground coal mines, was placed on EPA's Superfund list in 1987 following incidents in 1979 and 1985, when an oily discharge from the tunnel flowed into the Susquehanna River near Pittston City.
To help minimize the impact of discharges from the tunnel, EPA required construction of a containment/collection system that could be deployed in the river in the event of a future spill as well as a monitoring system to monitor tunnel flows and severe weather patterns that could impact flow levels. These facilities, completed in 2005, were originally tested during a spring 2007 training exercise. This week's training exercise is a follow up to the 2007 activity to ensure that spill prevention and emergency response measures are in place.

1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 - Rare Finds
The Saw Briar Super Cobra Jet
Jonathan Large was thoughtful enough to snap a photo in the barn where the remains of a '69 Mach 1—yes a real Super Cobra Jet—had come to rest years ago. With an orange fender stacked on the front end, apparently damaged long ago in a minor wreck, this Rare Find was difficult to identify as a Mustang. Saw briars further obstructed Jonathan's view. He and the owner stomped down the thorny bushes, a two-man job to avoid stem backlash, as they made their way toward the old Mach 1.
"Now, I can't prove this, but he [the owner] says that it was one of fourteen Super Cobra Jets that left with factory air. But, the Marti Report doesn't say that. So I'm trying to look at the heater box I got and see if anybody knows the part number."
Large had known about this Mach 1 since high school in the late 1980s. Being a GM/Chevrolet collector, he didn't go after this Ford until he attended Ray Evernham's car show in Charlotte, North Carolina. "I saw a Mach 1 that was the same color—Acapulco Blue—and that kind of triggered in my mind where this car was." Large admits the Mach 1 is a "beautiful" car. Also, he says the 428 Cobra Jet is "the GM guy's 427 car—Camaro or Nova."
Large owns a half dozen or so Chevrolet muscle cars and knew the Mach 1's owner, who had done some engine work for him. "I called him up and asked him if he still had that old Mach 1. He said yeah. It's shoved up in the barn." When Large maneuvered his way past the saw briars to the old Mustang, he discovered a body a little dented in front, rusty floor boards, no engine or running gear, seats removed, suspension in boxes and buckets, but with the driver's side data plate, revealing a "V" code 3.91 rear axle ratio, mandatory with Drag Pack. The old ram air shaker was also missing, but this car, Large says, is restorable. The dash was missing, too, but the instrument cluster, with factory tachometer, was in a box in the car. The odometer reading stood at 44,443 miles.
The low miles hints at a drag racing history. In high school, Large recalls the Mach 1 was "one of those fast cars" in southern Virginia. Initially, Jonathan planned to flip the car for a profit. He got the car worth the money. However, he has located an engine taken apart 33 years ago and boxed up priced at $4,000. Two of his friends are body guys. "My wife and kid are interested in it," so Large just may restore the car for himself and add it to his collection of Chevrolets.

Is Shadow Banking Dangerous for You?
From hedge funds to mortgage-backed securities, unregulated and risky activities have fallen out of favor since the Lehman Brothers debacle. Aggressive, casino-type behaviors and obscure transactions definitely played an important role in the run up to the financial crisis of 2008. But are all financial activities that operate outside the regular banking system bad?

Xiao'ou Zhu (MAIPS '14) says she has always been interested in international development work, but that she had a very narrow view of what that meant until she came to the Monterey Institute. Her view before could best be described as a "brick and mortar" view of development involving official development assistance (ODA) and infrastructure support. That all changed when she took Professor Nukhet Kardam's Development Theory and Practice class; "it opened a window into the possibilities of international development," says Xiao'ou.
"For me the most interesting lessons were connected to sustainability and the importance of community involvement," says Xiao'ou, who along with two other students from the Development Practice and Policy program, Sarah White (MAIPS '13) and Abdul Khabir Mirzakhail (MPA '14), worked on a proposal for a small-scale irrigation project in Ethiopia for a non-governmental organization. "It was a perfect team," Xiao'ou says happily, explaining that they each brought different expertise and experience to a project they all believed to be applicable to their future careers.
More recently, when Xiao'ou applied for a very competitive internship at the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, she included their paper as a sample of her work. "I was thrilled when they contacted me and said they were very impressed with the paper!" She was offered a management role in a World Bank agriculture project in China but could not accept, as it would have meant a six-month commitment and she wanted to complete her studies at MIIS. Instead, she decided to join the Frontier Market Scouts program and work on a summer project in Sri Lanka.
Xiao'ou's decision to decline the internship surprised officials in the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture, but they continued to be interested in her work and contracted her to work on a research project for them while in Sri Lanka. "So I ended up with two simultaneous internships!" Xiao says, adding that she is working on the deliverables for the ministry as part of a directed study with Professor Wei Liang.

by Stacy Mogul, on behalf of the Northwest Wissahickon Conservancy Inc., and Robert. J. Shusterman, on behalf of the North Chestnut Hill Neighbors Inc.
More than 100 of our neighbors joined the Northwest Wissahickon Conservancy (NWC) and the North Chestnut Hill Neighbors Inc. (NCHNI) at St. Paul's, Monday evening, May 16, and heard about the proposed development of SugarLoaf by Chestnut Hill College, which was followed by a discussion of the major issues that affect the plan and our community.
Ninety persons signed our petition after the discussion. One of our neighbors made the point that it was like walking into the last 10 minutes of a movie – and indeed for those who have not lived this daily process for 18 months, it must seem like this. To get a better understanding of this complicated group of issues, our website is loaded with information. Please go to: www.NWConservancy.org.
Over the next couple of weeks it is likely that you will hear the claim by members of the Chestnut Hill Community Association that an agreement has been reached with the college on the critical negotiations about SugarLoaf and the main college campus. Just as Neville Chamberlain proclaimed "peace in our time" in 1939, so too CHCA president Walt Sullivan will claim an agreement with the college. In fact, we believe that an agreement at this point will prove illusory on the following critical issues:
1. Easements
Despite 18 months of lead-time, the college has not received an appraisal from their bank that will make it possible for them to give permanent easements that will truly protect SugarLoaf and the community. The college's financial resources are such that the needed appraisal is not likely; and, lacking the easements, the community will not be protected. Instead, we believe that the college may propose "subordinate easements," that is, easements that are second in line to the rights of the college's lenders. Under certain conditions, a lender can extinguish the subordinate easements, and the protection afforded by those easements will be lost. The NWC and the NCHNA will not approve an agreement without perpetual easements, nor will they approve "subordinate easements" because the protections that they offer may be ephemeral.
2. IDD legislation that allows CHC to circumvent environmental law
The Institutional Development District legislation, which was approved by the Philadelphia City Planning Commission for SugarLoaf, contains within it exemptions for Chestnut Hill College from critical elements of the Wissahickon Watershed Ordinance, most importantly, the prohibition of building on steep slopes and the amount of building that can be undertaken on this most fragile Category 1 land. The NWC and NCHNI will not approve an agreement that undoes the hard-won protections for our watershed and that apply to any other developer and sets dangerous precedents.
3. The master plan of development
The master-plan drawings are based on a plan that can only be executed by violating the Wissahickon Watershed ordinance, and it continues to contain features that are inappropriate to this important gateway setting. Unless and until the master plan is in accord with the environmental protections of the site and consistent with the discussions of the last 18 months, the NWC and NCHNI will not approve an agreement.
4. The proposed community development agreement
The core Community Development Agreement (CDA), which ties together the above elements and provides assurances to all the parties, remains one-sided in favor of the college. It is illusory, and many of its critical provisions are legally unenforceable. It is designed to weaken provisions that should protect the site and the community. Again, until an appropriate CDA is completed, the NWC and NCHNI will not approve an agreement.
5. Potential conflicts of interest
Separate from the immediate terms about the site but critical to all, and as proof of the honesty of this process, there should be a resolute and clear Conflict of Interest Policy that makes it impossible for any of those who have been engaged in the negotiation to profit from their involvement. This means that the professionals would not take work from the college; the organizations involved in our negotiations would not take easements and other economic benefits so that the community can be certain that no promises were made (or will be made) outside of the negotiation that would benefit individuals or groups. Any financial or other taint of this negotiating process will run the risk of undermining our trust and must be avoided at all costs. This is standard fare for nonprofits. With that said, we want to be clear that we have absolutely no information whatsoever that would lead us to the conclusion that there has been (or will be) any improprieties in this matter.
But that's beside the point, and certain of our NG members have stated that they won't agree to this provision, claiming it's too late to raise this issue. However, we raised it much earlier in our discussion, and under any circumstances it is never too late in the game to insert fundamental concepts of honesty and integrity into the process. Again, the NWC and the NCHNI will not sign any agreement that does not contain such a clause.
As the above list makes clear, there is little possibility of an agreement that truly protects the community. Any agreement that does not resolve these issues is illusory, and we will not agree to the current proposals. And we will never subscribe to the philosophy espoused by some that "any agreement is better than no agreement."
As we indicated on Monday, we have been forced to place our confidence in the courts to protect the community interests. However, we remain committed to reasonable development by Chestnut Hill College on Sugarloaf, but we also remain committed to protections that will truly safeguard our community and comply with existing environmental laws.
Please look at the website (www.NWConservancy.org), involve your neighbors, pass your concerns on to them and become a friend on our Facebook page to extend our community. With a concerned community we will attain our objectives.
