Rethinking Climate Change Education
Originally appears in the Summer 2010 issue
Last month, NASA issued a report that predicted 2010 would likely end up as the warmest year on record, due to the combination of global warming and El Nino. Because the vast majority of climate scientists agree that the earth's climate is warming, many organizations and individuals are calling for the implementation of climate change education. Though no one doubts the importance of education in both lessening and adapting to this ostensibly man-made phenomenon, there is no agreement of what climate change education is or should be.
In reviewing climate change curriculums and Internet sites, we notice that much of the early work was done by scientists as well as science and geography teachers (CISHDGC, 2002). We applaud their efforts. While science and geography are reasonable starting points, we know climate change, like so many other sustainability issues, has social, economic, environmental, and political roots. As a result, climate change education should also reflect this complexity.
Through systematic scientific investigation, we have known the causes of most environmental problems for several decades. Similarly, the effect of increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has been known for years. However, this science-based knowledge has not brought about policy changes, legislation, or wide-spread behavior changes that are required to adequately address climate change. Solutions to climate change will require engaging the social sciences, in order to develop the societal understandings, cultural keys, and political will that are needed for change to occur.

What an auspicious day to start the Drupal For Evil group. I welcome you, my brothers and sisters in evilness, to this group. May our reign of terror be long and fruitful.
<-- break -->
As we march forward in our world domination, feel free to use this forum as a place to post your evil tricks and hacks. Deriding alternative web technologies is welcome and encouraged. We will rule them all. Post evil code snippets, laugh at evil websites, and generally take pleasure in all that is Drupal for Evil.
Blessed beast!
I don't see how anyone could notice this group and NOT jump in. Drupal has always lacked for anything silly, frivolous or generally non-practical. It is right and, however antithetically, good that this group should come into existence on this day.

|From the early 1930s until just after World War II, engine designers worked to create a new and more powerful generation of piston aircraft engines. Military aircraft designers hoped these engines would give bombers intercontinental range and propel fighters to speeds of over 500 miles per hour. One such engine was the Chrysler XI-2220, an inverted V-16 less than 34 inches in diameter that produced 2,500 horsepower. This book tells the fascinating story of young automotive engineers and the engine they designed, built and flew during WWII.
Chrysler Aircraft Engines is the second in a series of books about experimental engines built for the U.S. Army before and during World War II.
Chrysler Aircraft Engines is extensively researched using material from the Air Force Historical Research Agency, Chrysler Historical Collection, U.S. National Archives, National Museum of the United States Air Force, and several individuals who worked on the project. With unprecedented detail, It provides practically a day-by-day account of XI-2220 development. It includes a bibliography and index.

Rare Books on CD-ROM
Many interesting and important technical books have become increasingly rare and expensive. Weak Force Press is making some of these titles available on CD-ROM as a series of high-quality scans at an affordable price.
|In the 1930s, when gas turbines were practically unknown, engine designers
worldwide struggled to create a new and more powerful generation of aircraft
engines. One such engine, the Tornado, was a remarkable
42-cylinder liquid-cooled radial conceived by the Wright Aeronautical
Corporation. This book tells the incredible story of the people, politics
and technology behind the Tornado, of the aircraft it was meant to power,
and of the volunteers who preserved it for future generations.
First in a series of books about experimental engines built for the U.S. Army around World War II, Tornado presents the complete story of this unique aircraft engine.
Tornado is extensively researched using material from the National Air and Space Museum, Air Force Historical Research Agency, National Archives, NASA Langley Research Center and New Jersey Aviation Hall of Fame. It includes a bibliography and index.

Cooperative Education/Internships
Cooperative Education/Internships
What Is Cooperative Education?
The Cooperative Education Program at Coppin State University offers opportunities for interested students to combine work experience with classroom instruction. The work experience relates directly to the students' major field of study.
What Type Of Experience?
You will have the opportunity to use the knowledge and skills you obtained in college. The work experience may be in industry, business, government or service-type organizations.
Why Cooperative Education?
Cooperative Education bridges the gap between the classroom and the world of work. Students learn about their chosen field of study, gain career experience, and earn a substantial portion of their university expenses.
Because it makes sense.......Co-op employees are generally bright, highly motivated, eager to prove themselves, willing to learn, well educated in current theories and technologies, enthusiastic, and hard working.
Who Will Train Me?
Your employer trains you while you work on assignments in your career and academic field. One co-op "basis" is that there are some things that you can learn only by working, things that you can seldom learn from a university course.
For Instance...
Translating theory into practice, applying your knowledge to solving real business problems. Developing rapport with fellow employees, testing your ability to handle pressure and deadlines. Learning about company politics and policies.
Adjusting to working eight hours a day, five days a week, and then finding the energy and motivation to work late to meet a deadline or handle an urgent request.
What Happens When I Graduate?
Many employers train co-ops in hopes of hiring them when they graduate. This is one reason why many employers want you to keep returning for more semesters. Other employers have no planned entry level openings. But they can still give you valuable training that you can offer to other employers.
Does Co-Op Education Get Results?
Yes...This year more than 200,000 Co-op students from over 1,000 higher education institutions earned approximately 1.5 billion dollars.

No Time or Money to Train Your Team? Make the Most of 'Teachable Moments'
As a customer care trainer who works with companies of all
shapes and sizes, I'm well aware of the 'extreme cautiousness' with
which most organizations are approaching any purchases—especially when
it comes to training their employees to be and do their best. As I see
it, there are three main challenges:
1) They have a small training budget—or perhaps no budget for training at all.
2) They've downsized, making it difficult for anyone to be away from their desks to attend training sessions for any length of time.
3) Even if they've bounced back from tough times, they don't completely trust that the market will bounce back. As one of my prospective clients put it, "I have to check with my boss when I want to purchase a pencil."
Meanwhile, employees suffer from the stress of the worry and of the extra workloads they carry. That stress affects their relationships with each other and, of course, the experience they provide to their customers. And we all know how negative experiences can erode the bottom line. The great news is, there are simple, no-cost techniques managers can implement to maintain ongoing training even as employees are behind their desks. They're known as 'Teachable Moments.'
Successfully used by educators for years, Teachable Moments are spontaneous opportunities to use an experience at hand to demonstrate a skill or principle—to train your staff in some small yet powerful way. They're one of the best, most effective ways I can think of to support your staff in developing top-notch 'soft skills' so they can create the kinds of customer experiences that yield profits.
Here are six quick tips to illustrate how you can effectively use Teachable Moments:
1) When you hear team members talk about their experiences as customers . . .
ask them how they felt during and after they purchased the product or service. Was the experience positive or negative? Was the service provider attentive, friendly and responsive or cold and removed? If the service was poor, what choices might the provider have made to make it better? Did the company live up to the expectations it created? What word best describes the overall customer experience? Will they return as a customer? Will they refer friends to the business?
When they understand the emotional impact that their service providers have upon them, they'll better understand the impact that they have upon your customers—how everything they say and do can make or break a valuable customer relationship.
2) When you see team members 'walking the company talk . . .'
acknowledge and appreciate them for delivering the value your company promises to deliver, being as specific as possible. For example, when you overhear an employee patiently talk a customer through your company's delivery process, that's the perfect time to say, "I'm really happy about the way you just showed your customer how knowledgeable, thorough and dependable our company is. Keep up the great work!"
If you notice that a team member is returning customer calls quickly, praise him for demonstrating how responsive your organization is. You might add, "Responsiveness is something that we promise the customer, and that's what you're delivering. Super job!"
3) When your radar picks up grumbling about customer complaints . . .
gently assist your team in reframing their perspective of customer complaints as 'gifts' to your company; they're 'free consulting' that let your company know where there are gaps in your service and problems with your products. Questions will help you to positively shift your team's focus (and decrease their defensiveness). Ask your team:
4) When you become aware that employees are making
tough choices that will benefit your company in the long run . . .
. . . . .

From Press Reports
The Alpha Omicron Alpha chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. at Mississippi University for Women received top honors at its 98th annual state conference in Gulfport. The fraternity received Superior Chapter of the Year and Highest GPA awards. In addition, Nick Wright of Eupora was among five members who received Academic Achievement Awards for maintaining a 3.0 or above. "It means a lot to know that our chapter had the highest grade point average and that our hard work has not gone unnoticed," said George Body, chapter president. Wright also placed second in the oratorical contest and received the Collegiate Member of the Year Award. He will compete on the debate team at the 98th Annual Regional Conference in Biloxi April 12-15. Wright submitted his candidacy for the second vice regional director for the Southern Region. If selected, he will represent all collegiate members at colleges and universities in Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida and Bahamas. Last year, Wright placed first in the state and regional oratorical contests and second in the national oratorical and debate contests. Dr. Phillip "Flapp" Cockrell, chapter adviser, said, "The chapter members did an outstanding job representing MUW at the conference. I consider it an honor and blessing to advise such an amazing, energetic and dedicated group of young men who reflect the values of our fraternity." Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. is an international service organization that was founded on the campus of Howard University on Jan. 9, 1914. It is considered the "People's Fraternity" because it does not limit brotherhood and service to only one race or demographic background. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. was founded on the principles of brotherhood, scholarship and service. Members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. live by the motto "Culture for Service and Service for Humanity."

Part 1: "Open Textbooks from an Author's Perspective" (30 min)
Bio: Robert Beezer is a Professor of Mathematics at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA. He joined the faculty there in 1984 after receiving his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois. Besides advocating for open textbooks, he is also a developer for Sage, a comprehensive open-source program for mathematics.
What motivates someone to write an open textbook? How much of the editorial and production process is within reach of an individual? How is the experience different from writing a traditional textbook? What is different about teaching from an open textbook? I will answer these questions with examples from my experiences writing and publishing a mathematics textbook, "A First Course in Linear Algebra."
Part 2: "Another Perspective on Authoring an Open Textbook" (30 min)
Bio: David Lippman is a professor of mathematics at Pierce College Ft Steilacoom, a community college in Lakewood, WA, where he has been teaching since 2000. He is best known in the Washington community college math circle as the guy who created WAMAP.org (aka IMathAS), a free, open-source online course management and math assessment system.
I'll discuss my journey of writing an open textbook "Math in Society," including my motivation, how existing open textbooks guided my decisions, using my students as guinea pigs, and my experience with the bookstore. I'll share some general thoughts on openness and collaboration in textbooks that need consistency and accuracy, and some thoughts about license selection.

text: A separate model could mean anything. Maybe the glasses get taken off at some point due to some story mcguffin. Maybe it's a key item. Or maybe GF just made a separate model to experiment or did it just for the lulz. Customization is not "almost a given". Don't set yourself up for disappointment. I'd wait till we see more of trainers before we jump to any conclusions.

Mother placed behind bars after her 11-month-old son became malnourished by placing him on vegan dietBy Mason White 6:14 PM October 9, 2016
|Vegan lunch (illustration)
By: Wayne Morin
(Scroll down for video) A mother was arrested on a charge of child endangerment after her baby was found to be malnourished, according to police in Pennsylvania.
Fayette County police said that they have arrested 33-year-old Elizabeth Hawk, after being accused of feeding her 11-month-old son fruits and nuts.
In court, Hawk pleaded not guilty to one count of child endangerment. She was released from custody without bail.
According to the criminal complaint, when Hawk's husband, Jerry Hawk, who is the boy's father, noticed that the child was having delayed motor skills, he took him to the Child Youth Services for an examination.
Doctors found that the 11-month-old boy has been suffering from developmental delays that left him unable to thrive. They also found that his fruit and nut diet was causing physical deterioration.
Elizabeth also failed to treat her son's rash, and doctors thought that this was inhumane and put the child at risk of septic shock.
Elizabeth is vegan and she wanted her child to be on a strict vegan diet. The child was placed in the custody of his father.

Character Education
At TIMA we believe our students' character development is as vital as their academic growth. Our character education program guides our entire community's growth as caring citizens and engaged learners. Our core character education principles include:
Embodying our values: Our learning environment and our actions are shaped by our core values and beliefs: Respect, Non-violence, Empathy, Altruism, Honesty, and Responsibility.
Common Language: When we all agree to discuss, understand and solve problems using predictable, respectful and agreed-upon methods, we foster community-wide equity.
Discovery over Time: Individual growth evolves over time and at varied rates through interactions with our community and environment and is not dependent on a static, prescribed timeline.
Inclusion: Acting with care and responsibility challenges us to value everyone's intrinsic gifts.
Creativity: When given the freedom and responsibility to express ourselves creatively, our capacity to be fully human blossoms.
Collaboration: Cooperating and learning from others builds both individual strength and communal trust.

Integrated at each grade level, our character education curriculum focuses on service-learning, problem solving skills development, leadership development, mentoring, peer mentoring, peer mediation, and conflict management.

The oil industry is dirty business. From the Niger Delta to California, to the recent gulf coast oil spill, the legacy of contamination and human rights abuse goes back decades. But some folks are standing up to big oil.
On this edition, we take a look at how citizen groups around the world are holding oil businesses accountable, from courtroom battles to government regulation.
Challenging Chevron in Nigeria
In recent years, communities worldwide have protested the presence of big oil. One of the longest-running and bloody oil conflicts in the world is with the Chevron Corporation in Nigeria. Freelance Producer Lynn Feinerman has more about the Niger Delta and how grassroots groups and non-profits are taking the oil business to the courtroom.
Chevron in Richmond
The Chevron oil refinery in Richmond, California is one of the oldest and largest in the United States. Locals have welcomed the company's boost to employment – some three thousand jobs – and sizable tax contributions. But Chevron is also the number one greenhouse gas emitter in California; and has contributed to the degradation of water, soil and air quality in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the past decade, the city and residents of Richmond, have forced the company to curb its impact. Making Contact producer Kyung Jin Lee has more about the ongoing efforts to make the company serve the community.

For the People, Chuck Harder
Topic: Chuck Harder: Witness to the Success of the American Dream and its Engineered Demise
The following was taken from Chuck Harder's Biography Page:
"Chuck Harder began his radio career during high-school as a teen-age disc-jockey at WRMN, Elgin, Illinois and other local stations. Later he moved to Chicago at Gorden McLendon's famous WYNR 1390 AM top-40 outlet, then moved into national radio and TV production. Later in 1979 Chuck started in talk-radio at WPLP and WNSI in Tampa Bay, Florida and then moved to WFLA, Tampa then WMCA, New York and NBC Talknet.
"Most of Harder's shows contained calls from consumers relating to financial problems or trouble with products, government bureaus, and so forth. Soon Chuck became disillusioned with what he called the "velvet hammer" of corporate-media program directors that advised as to what were "taboo topics." Determined to tell listeners what he found to be accurate, Chuck soon turned to syndicating his broadcast nationwide by satellite under the umbrella of a non-profit organization. Chuck and wife Dianne then loaned their life-savings to start Peoples Network, Inc. and built the first studios in their Tampa garage, later buying an old hotel in White Springs with down-payment and original fix-up funds loaned by the Harder's from personal savings.
"His guests have included Ross Perot, James Earl Jones, Pat Buchanan, Representative Marcy Kaptur, Sir James Goldsmith, Hal Lindsey, William Greider, Ralph Nader, Gerry Spence, Father Malachi Martin, Alveda King, and many hundreds of others over 8,580 hours of national broadcasts.
"Chuck's show is on nationally via four satellite channels from 2-4 PM Eastern and syndicated jointly by Talk Star Radio Network and PNI."

Joy Holt - Reform Candidate for U.S. Congress, 4th District, Kansas
In 1992, she worked on the Ross Perot for President Petition Drive and Perot's campaign as an Independent Presidential Candidate.
From 1993 to 1996, she was a volunteer in United We Stand America (UWSA), a popular non-partisan political activist group that was started by Ross Perot after the 1992 election. UWSA worked to convince Congress to stop their yearly deficit spending and to reduce the total national debt (over $4 trillion in 1993; now over $8.5 trillion in 2006). UWSA also tried to defeat the promoters of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the World Trade Organization (WTO), and all "Free Trade", who have stolen U.S. jobs, eroded the tax-base, and have nearly destroyed our nation's sovereignty.
The loss of good jobs due to "Free Trade" can be estimated by the dramatic increase in our yearly Trade Deficit. In 1993, the U.S. Trade Deficit was under $100 billion per year. In 2006, the U.S. Trade Deficit is exceeding $800 billion dollars per year. Economists estimate job loss at 20,000 jobs for each billion dollars in trade deficit. 20,000 X 800 is 16,000,000 jobs. After World War II the U.S. produced over 90% of its goods, and in 2006 we produce about 20% of our goods. The U.S. is rapidly losing the "value-added" jobs necessary to be a great nation, based on Mining, Manufacturing, and Agriculture. Small farms are being destroyed by a policy of exporting one third of U.S. produce and importing one third of the meat, grain, fruit, etc. we consume, "dumped" at cut-throat prices by multi-national Agri-Business and usually uninspected.
In 1996, she helped collect petitions to get ballot access for the Reform Party of Kansas, and she has been active in the Party ever since.
In the 1990s, following the suggestion of Chuck Harder, a radio talk show host in Florida, Joy also helped found the Concerned Citizens of the Heartland, a group that discusses issues and aims to educate citizens about legislative actions in the U.S. Congress, Kansas Legislature, and Local Government.

PHOENIX — A lot of things are going right for the Houston Astros these days.Take Monday night's 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks, for instance.Even when a left-handed reliever went to the outfield for one batter then came back to pitch, everything worked out just fine.With his bullpen worn down, Astros manager Bo Porter took Tony Sipp off the mound and sent him to right field while right-hander Jerome Williams faced Paul Goldschmidt. Goldschmidt walked, then Sipp went back to pitching, striking out left-handed hitting Miguel Montero.Porter had told Sipp to be ready for the switch."I didn't think it actually was going to happen," Sipp said. "He gave me a warning but I'm like 'All right, OK Bo."'Sipp hadn't played in the outfield since his days at Clemson."I think I had more focus in right field than I did on the mound," he said. Sipp left for good and Kyle Farnsworth fanned Martin Prado to end the inning." It was a good play unless Goldy hit one to him," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "I have seen it done before. I think I saw Lou Piniella do it in the playoffs once before. It is certainly in the rules. He's going to manage his team the way he wants to manage it. It worked out for him."Jose Altuve had three hits, including an RBI double, and Jarred Cosart pitched six solid innings for the Astros.Cosart (5-5) allowed three runs and five hits with two walks.

"We've all won at some level. That's kind of what was the motto in spring training," Cosart said. "Whether it's college, high school, Little League, whatever, we all know what it's like to win, so why not get it going up here? And everyone's just feeding off each other."Altuve singled and scored in the first, doubled in a run in the second and singled in the fourth. Dexter Fowler had three hits, including a double, and scored twice.Collmenter went seven innings, giving up four runs, three earned, and seven hits.Right fielder Gerardo Parra threw out Altuve trying to score from second on Jon Singleton's single in the ninth. Porter challenged, arguing that Montero, the catcher, missed the tag, but the call was upheld after a 38-second video review.Fowler and Altuve opened the game with singles, then after an out, Jason Castro was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Matt Dominguez's sacrifice fly brought one run home. Another scored on second baseman Aaron Hill's fielding error.In the second, Fowler singled and scored from first on Altuve's double over the head of Inciarte in center field. Castro doubled Altuve home and Houston led 4-0.Parra was the first Arizona player to reach base, drawing a walk with one out in the fourth. Goldschmidt followed with Arizona's first hit, a double down the left field line that scored Parra from first. Montero singled to put runners at first and third, but Prado grounded into a double play to end the inning.Arizona got two more runs in the sixth.Didi Gregorius singled, then scored from third when Parra singled and Fowler muffed the ball in center field. Goldschmidt walked, then Montero's RBI single made it 4-3.
Why horse racing should pay attention to boxing
After hearing Steve Coburn, the owner of California Chrome, apologize for his post-Belmont Stakes statements, Mike North has some advice for the racing industry: "I don't know what will be done to change things — my guess is nothing — but I find it puzzling that horse racing is always slow on the uptake. For example, when two boxers fight and bring in spectacular numbers or there is a major controversy, the first thing any good promoter does is talk rematch!" A match race with Tonalist and California Chrome at Arlington International Racecourse, North says, would be a huge draw.

Man bets 400,000 pounds on Scotland voting against independence
A man gambled 400,000 pounds ($671,000) on Scots voting to stay in the U.K. in a referendum later this year. Bookmaker William Hill Plc said the stake, placed in London today, was the largest ever political bet.The customer, "who does not have a Scottish accent," got odds on a No vote on Sept. 18 of 1-4, meaning he stands to make 100,000 pounds if the bet is successful. As a result, William Hill shortened the odds to 1-5, while lengthening those on a Yes vote to 10-3 from 11-4, the company said in an emailed statement today.The wager is twice the previous record bet of 200,000 pounds, also on Scots rejecting independence and opting to remain in the 307-year-old union, William Hill said.Opinion polls in recent months showed people warming to independence though they are still outnumbered by those preferring the status quo. All three main U.K. political parties have declared their intention to give Scotland more financial power should they vote against full autonomy as they try to arrest the progress of the nationalist campaign.Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, a Scot, said yesterday that home rule for Scotland within the U.K. will be a minimum as the country moves away from a unitary state.Ladbrokes Plc, the other of the two largest U.K. bookmakers, offers odds of 1-4 for a No vote and 3-1 for Scotland deciding to go it alone, the company's website shows.
Japan Olympics organizers review Tokyo 2020 plans
TOKYO — Japan's Olympics organizers said Tuesday they are reviewing their plans for the venues of Tokyo's 2020 Summer Games due to concerns about cost.Tokyo Gov. Yoichi Masuzoe told a city assembly meeting that the overall plan for the venues needs to be revised. "We must respond to concerns over rising facilities costs, including rising costs for labor and construction materials," Masuzoe said. "We will review the plan as soon as possible from that point of view and revise what needs to be revised appropriately and promptly so that there will be no obstacles for the preparations for the games," he said.Japan has already informed the International Olympic Committee about its intention to review and revise its plans, the broadcaster NHK cited Masuzoe as saying. Yoshiro Mori, a former prime minister and rugby enthusiast who heads Tokyo's Olympic committee, issued a statement saying that Masuzoe and other members of the committee agree on the need to revise the plan for the venues.The statement did not refer specifically to plans to replace Tokyo's National Stadium with a colossal, 80,000-seat facility, the centerpiece of the city's Olympics bid. The proposed new stadium has caused protests over its size, cost and design. The Japan Sports Council has already scaled back its original proposal to spend 300 billion yen ($3 billion) on a 75-meter-tall stadium to a still-hefty 169 billion yen ($1.7 billion). It recently presented its plans for the stadium to the Olympics organizers, saying it did not envision revising the basic design concept but would take other concerns into consideration. Mori said the Tokyo committee was dedicated to creating a "legacy of sports-centered and affluent, healthy living spaces." Tokyo, the 1964 Summer Olympics host, failed in a bid to host in 2016 but won the right to host the games in 2020 with a plan emphasizing the city's safety and advanced infrastructure. Of the 33 competition venues, 28 will be within 5 miles (8 kilometers) of the Olympic Village, which will be built on reclaimed land in Tokyo Bay.

What if the Fed has created a new bubble?
Investors might be surprised to learn that they have a lot riding on something that they pay very little attention to: macro-prudential regulation, or what central banks and other government agencies do to reduce the risk of systemic financial disasters. The aim of such regulation is to lower both the probability and potential costs of financial accidents.
AP: Tax cheats took billions from Ukraine
As Ukraine's tax chief tells it, the billion-dollar theft was planned at a see-through plastic table in a vault of sound-proof steel. The table and six matching transparent chairs sit in a secret chamber on an upper story of the Tax Ministry in Kiev. It was the epicenter, he and other tax officials say, of a massive fraud suspected of squeezing $11 billion from Kiev's coffers over the past three years.

Jack White goes country on second solo CD
Jack White's second solo album is steeped in tones of his adopted hometown, Nashville. Lighthearted piano, sprightly fiddle and soulful slide guitar lend a country twang to most of the 11 tracks. White is more open musically on "Lazaretto" than any of his previous works, whether with the White Stripes, Raconteurs, Dead Weather or solo. He shares the vocal spotlight with fiddler-singer Lillie Mae Rische and Ruby Amanfu, who belongs to the Peacocks, an all-female band that backed White while touring for his first solo album, 2012's "Blunderbuss."
Fashion awards celebrate modeling diversity
The Council of Fashion Designers of America is not a governing entity for the fashion industry. But to say the trade organization has sway over the thousands of designers, buyers, publicists and staff members who create and disseminate fashion in the United States would be a gross understatement. "Technically they really can't tell anyone what to do, that is not what they are," Bethann Hardison, this year's recipient of the founder's award in honor of Eleanor Lambert, says of CFDA. "But they have a natural influence."

"Luke's lucky he didn't break his neck," Church said. "... It's pretty nasty, the way he went into it. When you first see it, you're like, 'Oh, no, he might be really hurt there.' But then he pops up."

Renal Disease
- Anemia
- Overview of Anemia
- Regenerative Anemias
- Blood Loss Anemia
- Hemolytic Anemia
- Nonregenerative Anemias
- Nutritional Deficiencies
- Anemia of Chronic Disease
- Renal Disease
- Primary Bone Marrow Diseases
Chronic renal disease is a common cause of nonregenerative anemia in animals. Erythropoietin is normally produced by the peritubular endothelial cells in the renal cortex. Animals with renal disease produce less erythropoietin, leading to anemia. Recombinant human erythropoietin (44–132 U/kg, three times/wk, with most animals starting at 88 U/kg) has been used for treatment. PCV is monitored weekly until the desired improvement is reached (this will vary with the initial degree of anemia), after which the dosage is decreased. Animals receiving recombinant human erythropoietin require supplemental iron to support RBC production. (Also see Hematinics.) Darbepoeitin also has been found to be valuable in management of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease.

The moment Greyson Chance enters the interview room, you get the feeling that it was going to be a fun session. Fresh from his debut Singapore showcase at St James Powerhouse the night before, the 14-year-old showed no sign of lethargy - he greeted everyone in the room with a very cheerful "Hey how are you?" making the interviewers feel more comfortable. Well at least I did.
I've said this before, and I will say it again - Greyson Chance is hands-down one of the most down-to-earth and easy-going musician that I have conducted an interview with. From his ability to answer questions (some of which have been asked a million times) in a matured manner, considering his young age, to his tendency to thank the interviewers if he finds the question to be interesting, Greyson Chance is such a cute young lad that you can't help but to go "Awwww" when you watch the interview below!

I'm Zach Heilman. This is me:
I'm currently a Senior System Administrator at Prometheus Research.
Here's some other stuff I'm doing:
- Organist for Memorial Lutheran Church, as well as a substitute organist for other churches around central Iowa.
- DJing. We've performed at multiple high school dances, college parties, weddings, and much more.
Here's some stuff I've done in the past:
- Studied at Iowa State University, majoring in Computer Engineering. (2009-2014)
- Systems intern at Vail Systems (summer 2014)
- Sysadmin and staff member for ISEAGE, which puts on multiple Cyber Defense Competitions (exercises in counter-hacking) every year. I was the director of the 2012 ISU CDC and the 2013 Community College CDC. (2010-2014)
Here's what I can do:
- *nix systems – I've got plenty of experience with Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, FreeBSD, and more. I can RTFM and troubleshoot. Give me a task, and I'll get it done with minimal handholding. Config management? Gotta love stuff like Salt or Ansible. Remote installation? Set up a custom-built PXE server utilizing iPXE and Syslinux. Nagios checks? Gotta love Python scripts.
- TCP/IP Networking – when you have to simulate an entire internet, you need a pretty strong grasp on this stuff. Besides creating a core router using nothing but FreeBSD and /etc/rc.conf to simulate dozens of networks, I've had to set up BIND, isc-dhcpd, and squid servers to get everyone up and running inside the ISEAGE environment.
- VMware – in order to facilitate the Cyber Defense Competitions, I stood up a couple of 15-node vCenter clusters from scratch to run all kinds of Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD VMs.
- Windows + AD/LDAP – I can set up a domain from scratch, or migrate to a new one (don't forget the FSMO roles!) and then join *nix machines to it. And installing Windows hundreds of times over the years (and using it as a primary OS) will teach you a thing or two.
