From Civics to the Civic Arts by Ellen Condliffe Lagemann
Each month, the Newsroom publishes commentary by the leadership at Bard College at Simon's Rock. This ongoing series, called Perspectives, is one way in which the College adds its voice to important conversations in higher education.
For the 2008-2009 year, Perspectives will address different aspects of the early college movement. Topics will range from the philosophy behind early college, to the many forms early college programs take, to best practices for teaching and supporting early college students. All of these pieces draw from—and reflect on—the accumulated knowledge of Bard College at Simon's Rock, founded in 1966 as the nation's first early college. Since that time, interest in early college has blossomed. Hundreds of early college programs now exist—serving diverse needs through a variety of program structures in an array of settings. Within this vibrant landscape, Simon's Rock remains not only the pioneering institution, but the nation's only college of liberal arts and sciences expressly designed to educate students early. This is the unique, time-tested perspective that Simon's Rock brings.
We opened our 2008-2009 Perspectives series with an essay on the need for early college by Mary B. Marcy, provost and vice president of Bard College at Simon's Rock. Excerpting from Jefferson's Children: Education and the Promise of American Culture, last month's piece, "Beyond Secondary Education" by President Leon Botstein, re-imagined what the education landscape might look like if high school ended two years early. This month, Bard Center Distinguished Fellow at Simon's Rock and Director of the Bard Center for Education and Democracy, Ellen Condliffe Lagemann weighs in on the importance of civics in a college curriculum. Her piece titled "From Civics to the Civic Arts," appeared in the October edition of the magazine, The School Administrator.
From Civics to the Civic Arts by Ellen Condliffe Lagemann
Ask a group of students whether they are interested in their roles as citizens. Most likely, you will get a yawn. Ask whether they know much about civics. At best, you will get a glimmer of recognition and acknowledgment of having read the U.S. Constitution.
According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress' Civics 2006 report, only 24 percent of 4th graders, 22 percent of 8th graders and 27 percent of 12th graders demonstrated a proficient understanding of civics. These results are alarming. Our nation faces difficult challenges at home and abroad, and we are allowing our children to come of age unprepared to address the problems that soon will be theirs to solve. It is time we made the civic competence of the next generation a high priority in our schools.
To do that, we must reinvent how we teach civics. First, we must begin to think of civics more expansively. We must think not of civics, but of the civic arts. Knowing one's rights and responsibilities as a citizen is important.
Prerequisite Skills
But the civic arts also encompass those skills that enable people to study and analyze public problems and then take intelligent action about them. These include the capacity to speak cogently and persuasively in public; to listen to others empathetically and carefully; to work effectively with teams of people as well as on one's own; to stand alone, when necessary, for causes about which one holds a strong, considered view; and to think, plan and execute strategically toward the realization of one's goals.
The skills that are central to the civic arts are not exclusive to them. They are essential to the mastery of most academic subjects. If we move to a more expansive view of the civic arts, we will need to embed opportunities to master the civic arts within the core academic subjects. Just as citizenship must be an aspect of how we function in all our various adult roles so, too, must the civic arts be an aspect of all that students study in school. To continue treating civics as a distinct, separate subject is to treat one of our central responsibilities as merely marginal.
Embedding the civic arts into the curriculum will be challenging. Mastery of the civic arts requires opportunities to act. Citizens must know how to take action on matters of community concern. To master the civic arts, students will need opportunities not merely to study the Constitution, but also to act as citizens. That means that service learning will need to become more central across the curriculum. We will need to find ways in our classes to help students understand the relevance of course material to issues outside our classrooms.
Finally, as part of the regular instructional program, we need to talk with young people about citizenship and the civic arts. By talking directly about these matters, we can help students understand that mastery of the civic arts is essential to becoming fully functioning adult members of this society. If the well-being of our democracy matters to us, teaching the young to respect, value and work hard to acquire civic competence is essential. That necessitates frank and forthright discussion.
Finding Relevance
Translating these ideas into practice will be enormously difficult. The curriculum is already crowded. The press to prepare for standardized tests is ever-present, and relating traditional curriculum to the realities of one's community can test the imaginations of even the best teachers. Despite that, moving toward a more expansive, embedded and active conception of civic education makes sense for two urgent reasons.
As a historian, I am aware that people always feel the times in which they live are uniquely good, difficult or challenging. Even knowing that, it is reasonable to argue that the problems we now face are particularly urgent. Some discount the warnings, but scientists tell us the poles are melting. Some say it cannot happen, but the possibilities of terrorist attacks in forms and at unprecedented scales of destruction seem plausible. We may work against the prospect, but the possibility of a pandemic caused by bird flu or other viruses must be taken seriously.
The children we are teaching today will inherit these problems tomorrow. They need to know math, science, history, English, foreign languages and much more. They also must understand they have the right and responsibility to take the world's problems, however those may be presented, as their own. Our times require a new commitment to making civic education central to all that we do.
In addition, moving toward a more expansive, embedded and active conception of civic education makes sense because it offers new possibilities to enliven schooling. Young people are often eager to engage in "the real world." They find school boring when it seems artificial. The relevance of what they are being asked to learn too often escapes them.
By centering the curriculum in the civic arts, we open new possibilities for linking students' lives in school to people and problems on the outside. Doing that is especially urgent in high school. By centering the curriculum in the civic arts, we can transform schooling from preparation for life to learning from life.
Surely that is something we owe not only our children, but also ourselves.

Gotcha! The Situation's Cell Phone Leak Was a Prank
April Fool's Day is still half a year away, so when The Situation appeared to accidentally leak his cell phone number yesterday (November 19), even we were convinced it was the real, unfortunate deal.
We should've known the Jersey Shore goofball was pulling a fast one, though, because the jokester is always getting the one-up on people.
Sitch confirmed the incident was a prank on his buddy Peter DiCataldo yesterday, writing on his Twitter page, "Phone blew up haha good thing it wasn't mine!! That will teach @petey_d_ to mess with the master of pranks!! #pranksgiving #UKtour #gotcha."
Poor Peter suffered the brunt of Sitch's joke, writing confusedly on his feed yesterday, "my phone is blowing up right now??" He figured it out soon enough and admitted, "#phone#prank#pete#problems...u got me...." but that didn't stop the tweets, texts and pics from coming in.
According to Sitch, his little joke left Peter's phone "jammed for hours straight," which made The Situation himself "flattered" by all the ravenous attempts to reach him.
Oh, Mike. As Peter himself warned, better "keep your guard up" because there's no way the guy's going to let this one go unanswered.
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, November 29 at10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Mix all ingredients except ice in shaker. Stir to dissolve sugar. Add ice cubes, shake well, and strain mixture into a cocktail glass.
Used the sorbet substitute as well (could not find Haagen-Dazs, but did find an organic passion fruit sorbet at the "fancy" grocery); worked wonderfully. Unfortunately ran out of rum before the night was over! :)

INTERESTING STUFF – 10 March 2012
Don't forget to move your clocks forward tonight one hour. Well, everyone except for Hawaii and most of Arizona.
Just before you go to bed Saturday night is a good time to do it.
2012 is the Diamond Jubilee of Britain's Queen Elizabeth and there is a national project to celebrate by planting six million trees before the end of the year. Here is a favorite actor, Dame Judi Dench, doing her part for the cause. (Hat tip to Nikki of From Where I Sit)
I just hate that I am terrible at writing headlines and captions. Good ones make an ordinary image compelling and, often, funny - like this one. (Stolen from Judy Carrino's Facebook page)
Before his recent demise, right-wing provocateur, Andrew Breitbart, promised he had a video that would bring down President Barack Obama.
When the footage was broadcast on Fox this week by a credulous Sean Hannity, it became an instant Twitter joke. There is nothing the least controversial about Obama's introduction of Professor Derrick Bell.
And, the video is not the exclusive Hannity claimed. A longer version aired on Frontline on PBS in 2008.
All this much ado about nothing aside, it is interesting to see the young Obama 22 years ago. See what you think.
Some of them have more than one, says a new Harris Interactive poll and here's a surprise (to me, anyway): women are more likely than men to have a tattoo by 23% over 19%.
Old folks are fairly well represented with 11% of those 50-64 having tattoos and 5% of people 65 and older. I think Maxine has a good point about tattoos:
From intense interest to boredom. Either way, it's fun to watch.
I haven't bought Oreo cookies in years. They are way too fattening and one or two are never enough for me – especially after the Double-Stuf variety was introduced. But even though I don't eat them anymore, let's mark Oreo's 100th birthday this year as an iconic American snack.
There are some fun facts here and although I do not recall ever seeing an Oreo TV commercial, you'll find more than 60 of them here where they have their own channel in YouTube.
You know the story: three pigs, three houses, a wolf, huffing and puffing and in the end, boiled wolf. Last week the Guardian UK released a video commercial for the newspaper showing how they would cover the story from first headline to social media conclusion.
The video went viral prompting a whirlwind of critiques – good and bad. See what you think.
Last week I told you about a proposed underground garden for New York City called the Low Line Delancey Underground.
The creators have been seeking funding through Kickstarter and it was announced this week that they surpassed their goal of $100,000 – by a third so far – and will be funded by the deadline on April 2. I am so eager to see how this develops.
About a year ago in this column, I featured Pam Peterson singing Memories rewritten with some funny elder lyrics. Now, reader Cathy Johnson sends along the information that Pam is one half of a singing group, the Boomer Babes.
So here she is with her partner, Jan Slavin, singing another elder spoof, this one set to a medley of Beatles songs.

Thanks for the mention; I'm glad you liked the photo (I stole it.)
Loved seeing the cats reaction to their images and the singing video is great.
Thanks Ronni for a good beginning to my w/end. Stories like the tatoos among elders just further shows how mad the world is becoming. :)One the other hand, I love the video of young Mr. Obama revealing his future. Have a great w/end. Dee
All good stuff today, especially the Guardian spoof of the Three Little Pigs.
Typically English: "Keep your chinny chin chins up."
Good laugh to start off the day.
Obama already had honed his speaking style back then, hadn't he?
This fuss annoys me because it has all the usual detractors trashing Derrick Bell. Bell was a fascinating, thoughtful guy whose writing was very accessible to those of us who are NOT lawyers but care about the varieties of justice. I'm linking here to an appreciation I wrote of this last book, Ethical Ambition, a look back over his life that I think many other elders might appreciate.
No cats here. Maybe my computer rejects play. It liked everything else tho including the Guardian ad. :)
Just go on You-Tube and search for Big Cats and Mirrors and you can get it.
Love the big kitties. If I were rich, I'd give oodles of bucks to big cat rescue and preservation groups around the world.
The Obama video I saw on TV this week, and not on Fox. It was probably CNN making fun of Fox.
Good grief, if I'd gotten a tat back in the day, it would be at least a foot lower now, and lord knows where that would put it. I doubt tats on 80-year-olds are going to be very attractive.
Loved the 3 pigs, social media spoof.
I can just imagine a tattoo with wrinkles and age spots. Not a pretty sight.
The captioning on the song lyrics were so garbled that I couldn't make sense of them (You always have to use your imagination when reading them, anyhow) so I missed what must have been a hilarious song.
Judy Dench is one of favorite actresses and planting trees is a wonderful thing to do. Go Judy.
I'm a 71-year old female with tattooed behind where only one person has ever seen it. He paid for it 20 years ago. She herself has to hold a mirror, twisting around and closing one eye to focus! Nice shot.
The Lowline has reached its goal!! Now I get a shirt! Thanks for the link; I will go see the site in June and report back.
If only more commercials were as creative and well-done as this Three Little Pigs one, we might watch television just for them. Thanks for another energizing and entertaining start to the weekend, Ronni.
Frequent L.A.area TV features show people having their tattoos removed -- often requiring multiple sessions at considerable expense, and expressing regret they had gotten them years earlier.
I've thought that very many body tattoos could well complicate medical care in some circumstances based on various tattooed patients I've seen.
To each his own. Eyebrow tattoos make more sense as one person I know gets periodically since she lost that hair due to medical issues.
Funny cat reactions. Don't think many animals recognize the mirror reflection as being themselves. Some mirrors actually inside a cage have shown the animal looking behind the mirror for the "other" animal -- just as in a developmental stage young children go through.
I've never particularly cared for Oreos, but wish them well for those who do.
I recall seeing interesting stories about a NYC abandoned railroad track park. This underground garden is intriguing.

On weekends, they make multicourse gourmet meals. Some of them create fabulous food for a living.
They are foodies -- people with sophisticated, opinionated palates who love good food and enjoy working hard to create it.
But after a full day (or night) of work, even foodies balk at spending an hour in the kitchen.
Like the rest of the working world, they want food -- fast. But you won't find them eating food that comes in envelopes and boxes.

Portland football coach and math teacher works the angles
There are a lot of similarities between teaching in a classroom and coaching on a field, says Portland High School head football coach John Novara — and he's in a position to know.
In addition to his duties with the football team, Novara coaches Portland's freshman boys' basketball team, the girls' track and field team, as well his own children's sports teams.
Then there's his day job as a math teacher at Portland High School, where he teaches pre-algebra, algebra I and geometry, and serves as the junior class adviser.
In order to be a successful coach, "you have to be a successful teacher," Novara said.
"I think coaching and teaching are the same things," Novara said. "You have to want to work with students. You have to put a lot of extra time in."
Novara recently received the "Building Leaders" award from WVFN-AM's "The Drive with Jack Ebling," which recognizes Mid-Michigan school employees who have gone above and beyond to help student athletes. MEA and Home Management Company co-sponsor the award.
Novara said his 18 years of experience as a math teacher helps inform his coaching. For example, Novara teaches his football players a lot about geometry by showing them how to analyze blocking patterns.
Clearly, Novara's players have been paying attention to his gridiron geometry lessons — Portland's football team consistently ranks among the state's best, having won last year's Division 5 state title.
Click here to listen to the WVFN segment featuring Novara.
To nominate a school employee for the "Building Leaders" award, email David Crim at firstname.lastname@example.com. Make sure to include in your email a description of the nominee's efforts on behalf of student athletes.

Foundation Grants
Creating a Tribal Nonprofit Corporation
Example of a tribal 501(c) (3) nonprofit corporation: The Hopi Foundation
The Hopi Foundation was founded by Hopi tribal members in 1985 and incorporated under the State of Arizona as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in 1987. The foundation promotes social and economic development on the Hopi reservation in Arizona, including supporting education, solar energy, tribal small businesses, and Hopi language preservation.
There are two types of corporations: commercial (or for-profit corporations), and nonprofit corporations. The purpose of for-profit corporations is to run a business with the goal of earning profits for the corporation's shareholders. In contrast, a nonprofit corporation (also known as a 501(c) (3) corporation) is organized for purposes other than making a profit, generally for charitable and philanthropic purposes. A nonprofit is generally created utilizing state law, but can also be created using tribal law. Each state and tribe should have a statute that sets out the procedure for creating a nonprofit corporation and the boundaries in which a nonprofit must operate.
Creating a nonprofit corporation starts with filing Articles of Incorporation. Articles of Incorporation are agreements between the incorporators (people or organizations wanting to create the nonprofit, such as tribal members or a tribal organization) and the state or tribe about the functions, responsibilities, and obligations of the nonprofit corporation. For more information about filing Articles of Incorporation and starting a nonprofit corporation, see Options for Designing Your Tribal Philanthropic Program (PDF) (35 pp, 274K). About PDF
Once a nonprofit is incorporated under state or tribal law, the nonprofit can apply to the IRS for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status allows the organization to receive donations that are tax deductible for the donor. It also allows the organization to be eligible for grants which are limited to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (including many listed below).

Then & Now
Hugh Johnston arrived at Whitworth in 1957 as an assistant professor of chemistry. Reflecting on his first few years here, Johnston says, "When I arrived on campus, I was in a challenging place in life. But the faculty and staff really made me feel welcome."
More than 50 years later, Johnston is still a fixture on campus - now as a volunteer in the archives department. He and his late wife, Mary Boppell Johnston, decided to establish several planned gifts with The Whitworth Foundation and named Whitworth as a beneficiary in their will. "Whitworth has done a lot for me," Johnston says. "Giving something back was the least I could do."
Naming Whitworth as a beneficiary of your will is a tremendous way to show your support for an education of the mind and heart in any economic environment. For information on this or other planned gifts, please contact The Whitworth Foundation at 800.532.4668 or email@example.com. Or visit our website at www.whitworth.edu/foundation.

Robbie and Fred are twins who live together. Wearing identical suits, they leave their house at the same time heading in opposite directions. One twin carries a hidden green wallet; the other has a red one. The wallets are not visible.
Unfortunately, Robbie is mugged and the redness of his wallet is revealed. In quantum terms he is measured and forced to take a value.
An observer can now deduce that Fred's wallet is green, and if put to the test this will prove to be the case no matter where or when Fred is interrogated.
There is no need for faster-than-light communication or spooky interaction at distance - just knowledge of the initial conditions. I can't see anything wrong with this analogy. Am I missing something?
• No, it's exactly right.

If you have sustained an injury through the negligence of others, you may be entitled to seek compensation. A Mississippi personal injury attorney can help explain your rights and can make sure you know what legal options are open for you.
Regardless of whether you have been injured in an automobile accident, sustained a brain injury or have health complications due to chemical exposure, a Mississippi personal injury attorney will have the information you need to make an informed decision about your case.
Get in touch with a Mississippi personal injury attorney by calling 877-288-7564 or filling out our free case evaluation form. We'll connect you with a Mississippi personal injury lawyer in your area for a no-obligation initial consultation.
Personal injuries can be a huge burden. Not only is there a physical and emotional toll to injuries, but there can be real financial consequences as well. Beyond initial medical expenses, injuries often result in lost earnings due to missed work, and can also result in long-term medical expenses as a result of chronic health complications stemming from the injury.
Worrying about financial issues can even get in the way of your recovery. Enlisting the help of a Mississippi personal injury lawyer may enable you to receive the compensation you seek, and that can allow you to focus on what really matters to you: getting better.
When dealing with insurance companies, you can never forget that you are dealing with institutions that are designed to make a profit. They see any money they spend towards your medical expenses as money as a business cost, and it is the insurance companies' representatives' job to reduce those costs.
The representatives you talk to may seem friendly and forthcoming, and may claim to want to move your claim along quickly, but it is their job to save their company money by reducing or even rejecting your claim entirely.
Any information you provide them could be used to weaken your claim. Mississippi personal injury attorneys should know how insurance companies function, and how to deal with them. Before you talk to the insurance company, talk to a Mississippi personal injury lawyer.
Some bumps and bruises are a natural part of life. But when your pain is caused by reckless behavior, abusive behavior or negligent practices, Total Injury is there.
If you were injured as a result of someone's negligence or intentional actions against you, you may have the right to compensation for any injury, damage or loss caused by the person at fault. About Us »

Sales hit the clothing stores last week. Unlike the UK and other western countries, the sales here in Riyadh are still real sales with real bargains to be had.
In Philippines I learned what it is to be "Terry", as in "Terry Tight-arse". A "Tight-arse" is someone you need to sedate before you part from their hard earned cash.
As I'm careful with my money and I shop around to make sure I am getting the best deal as far as I am concerned to be "Terry Tight-arse" (as a man) or "Teresa Tight-arse" (as a lady) is something to aspire to, not something to be ashamed of.
As mentioned previously the shopping system in Saudi Arabia is unique. If you are so inclined you could wear your new clothes for a week with the label concealed and still take them back for a refund (I haven't done this yet, honest). This system provides exceptional opportunities to be Terry.
I'd therefore like to extend my congratulations to the Terry in Go Sports last week. He had bought a lot of sporting clothes from the store without knowing the sale was starting the next day. My friend was standing behind him in the queue as he returned the clothes and got his refund…. and then immediately grabbed the clothes back from the cashier and bought them back at the sale price.

Aqua Shadow dresses the eyes in pearly natural or matte smoky shades, all intense and irresistible. With its large tip and creamy texture, it can be applied in a single stroke, leaving behind exactly the right amount of product. Its unprecedented texture quickly covers the eyelid; it stays perfectly in place and does not highlight skin creases. Its buildable coverage enables natural as well as sophisticated makeup results, and it is easily blended with the fingertips.
Please see my first post on the Aqua Shadows for a detailed review, along with photos, of texture, consistency, wear, and so forth. This post is specifically looking at the seven shimmer finish Make Up For Ever Aqua Shadows ($20.00 for 0.14 oz.). Because of the shimmery finish, these are just slightly drier, but as a result, they also wear really well alone over bare lids, over primer, and as a base with powder eyeshadows on top.

African Wildlife Foundation commends Tanzanian government's decision to withdraw CITES proposal to sell ivory stockpile
NAIROBI, Kenya, January 28, 2013 -- African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) commends the Tanzanian government's recent decision to withdraw its proposal to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) to sell some of its ivory stockpile. CITES is the international agreement that regulates the trade of endangered plants and wildlife; more than 176 countries are signatories. Ahead of CITES' 16th Conference of Parties, Tanzania had submitted a proposal to downlist the status of the country's elephants and to allow a one--time sale of more than 100 tons of ivory to China and Japan. The government's decision to withdraw the proposal comes in the midst of an elephant--poaching crisis stemming from a growing demand for ivory primarily in Asia.
Total of 668 poached in South Africa in 2012, exceeding 448 poachings in 2011
NAIROBI, Kenya, January 11, 2013 -- An unprecedented number of rhinos--668 in total--were poached in 2012 in South Africa, according to final numbers released by South Africa's Department of Environmental Affairs on Thursday . This is a new poaching high, exceeding 2011's 448. Since the beginning of 2013, five of South Africa's rhinos have already been killed.
WASHINGTON, DC, December, 19 2012 -- African Wildlife Foundation is pleased to announce that it has, for the third time, been selected as a three--year, 10 percent GiveBack partner by Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC).
African Wildlife Foundation calls attention to the seriousness of poaching as high quantity of ammunition is seized during anti-poaching operations
NAIROBI, Kenya, December 21, 2012 -- Over the past several years the crimes against Africa's wildlife have been running rampant. Both rhino and elephant populations are dwindling as poachers target them for their ivory and horns that are sold on the black market at exorbitant prices.
The status of Virunga National Park's mountain gorillas remains unknown as rebels continue to occupy the park's gorilla sector
VIRUNGA HEARTLAND, November 16, 2012 -- This past May, the rebel group known as M23 entered the Mikeno Sector of Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC's) Virunga National Park. This sector, also known as the gorilla sector, is home to a number of critically endangered mountain gorillas, including six groups habituated to human presence for tourism and many more unhabituated groups and solitary males. The gorilla sector is situated around the Bunagana border between Uganda and the DRC.

Police in Taveta have raised the alarm over the increasing number of illegal immigrants being dumped at the border by Tanzanian authorities. The immigrants, who are mostly from Ethiopia, are allegedly dumped at the Kenyan border by Tanzanian officials.
Speaking to the Star on the phone, Taveta police chief, Paul Kisang said that the immigrants have become a burden to the government since it is costly to repatriate them .
"When they are dumped at the border they sneak to Kenya where they move to the villages so that suspicious residents can report them to police for arrest," he said.
Kisang said that this has forced Kenyan authorities to re-arrest the aliens and charge them again for being in Kenya illegally.
"Two weeks ago we arrested 10 Ethiopians who were left stranded near the Kenyan border after completing their jail term in Tanzania. They were found in Kenya without valid documents which is illegal," said the police boss.
Kisang said that scores of the illegal immigrants have been repatriated while others are in remand.
"The ten who were arrested and taken to court are currently serving a two months imprisonment term.They will be repatriated once they complete their jail terms," he said.
He said that after completing their jail terms in Tanzania, they are usually escorted to the Kenyan border by Tanzanian authorities who perceive that the only way back to their country is through Kenya.
"When the illegal immigrants complete their jail term in Tanzania, they are usually escorted and left to the Taveta border because it is assumed that is their only route back home," he said.
Kisang criticized the Tanzanian officials for allegedly dodging the responsibility of repatriating the aliens back to their country and instead leave the burden to Kenya.
"It is the responsibility of Tanzania government to ensure that all aliens who are charged in their country are repatriated," lamented the police boss.
He said that the move has resulted to a backlog of aliens at the Taveta police divisional headquarters an issue he said was straining their resources.
"In most cases the aliens stay in our custody for more than the stipulated period of 28 days as the law requires because we source for the extra resources,"he said.

But how good would any sailboat be on the twisties?
Anti-Hero is putting his thoughts together right now - I don't think he's given us his conclusions yet. I went back to the beginning of the RR to refresh my understanding of the genesis of this journey. He said that he'd been living in a way that was designed to achieve the facilitation of very specific financial, occupational, educational, and social goals....and that he knew he was stepping away from that and that doing so would be a "death" of sorts. Just before he left SF he met a neighbor of the guy he was staying with, who said '"On your journey remember, "Right here, right now, nothing else matters." Great advice and a poignant reminder of what this trip is all about.' To me, those are the essence of "Anti-Hero's Trip".....to consciously abandon a focus on achieving future goals and adopt a "right here, right now" way of living, accepting that the journey is the goal, the destination is not the goal, for in the end he's going to return to where he started. Except it won't really be "where he started" because he won't be the same guy when he gets back. I expect he'll tell us more about how the trip has affected him. Anti-Hero, please accept my apologies if I've strayed with this post. No intention to play armchair shrink or tell you what your trip was all about. Just a bit of what I've learned about life from reading your incredible RR. Thanks again for taking us along for the ride and sharing your thoughts with us.

text: The CBB had very high expectations for the Vanderbilt Commodores as they enter the SEC season with a 10-3 overall record and a top 10 national ranking. The Commodores been able to get off to such a great start even though they have an injury to their top player Pedro Alvarez who is expected to be a Top 5 pick in the MLB draft. (He was listed in the CBB Top Players in our Preseason Preview available here.)The other amzing thing is that the other two top players in Ryan Flaherty and Dominic de la Osa who were expected to support Alvarez in the lineup have gotten off to slow starts. There is an excellent article on the official Vandy site about this topic which can be read here.

Current burnable absorbers such as boron carbide placed in the control rod guide tubes of fresh fuel assemblies create a water displacement penalty at end of cycle (EOC) that reduces the overall maximum cycle length of the reactor. Other burnable absorbers such as gadolinium-oxide mixed in the fuel do not create the water displacement penalty but create a lower centerline melt temperature for the fresh fuel and reduce the overall enrichment for the assembly. This research proposes using a transuranic (TRU) isotope with a relatively high absorption cross section such as 240Pu to reduce excess criticality within the reactor at beginning of cycle. The added benefit of using this TRU isotope over a standard burnable absorber is that when it absorbs a neutron it no longer negatively affects the criticality of the reactor, and it will transmutate into a fissile material that will add to the overall criticality of the reactor at EOC.
