The Simons Center for Systems Biology at the Institute for Advanced Study conducts research at the interface of molecular biology and the physical sciences. Led by Arnold J. Levine and Stanislas Leibler, Professors in the School of Natural Sciences, the Center hosts a range of distinguished Members and Visitors annually, and fosters original research in the field of systems biology.
Recent technologies have generated enormous amounts of hitherto unseen biological/genetic data. The tools of modern physics, mathematics, and computer science enable integration of such data, allowing scientists to draw conclusions that will result in leaps of fundamental understanding of evolution and basic molecular biology, and will reduce -- perhaps by years -- the time leading to significant breakthroughs in developing personalized approaches to diagnosis and treatment of cancer, viruses, and other diseases.
Researchers at the Center include a diverse group of theoretical physicists, cancer biologists, mathematicians and computational biologists of extraordinary promise. They are engaged in detailed analyses of large-scale genomic, structural, and clinical databases that have been created over the past several years, as well as in developing theoretical and experimental methods for conducting studies on the collective behavior of biomolecules, cells and organisms. The Center seeks to explore and understand how genes are expressed in time (fetus, adult, the progression of old-age), space (cellular localization and tissue type), and in different human conditions (disease, aging, embryonic development), and to understand how individual components can give rise to complex collective phenomena. Collaborations with experimentalists test and confirm predictions developed through these analyses in the laboratory and in the clinic.
The post-doctoral training model that the Center has developed includes frequent conferences, symposia and seminars and encourages collaborations with other academic, clinical and industrial groups, both locally and around the world, to test information and to confirm theoretical models. As one of the leading centers for theoretical research in the sciences, the Institute is a natural locus for research biologists to visit and work, as research in the life sciences increasingly requires extensive skills in mathematics, physics, computer sciences and chemistry. These interactions help to extend and promote the necessary exchange of ideas and formulation of questions for future discoveries and strides in the field.
Applications for future memberships are invited from people with experience in physics, computer science, statistics, mathematics or biology. In addition to one- or two-year memberships, there are opportunities for short-term visits and collaborative work.

Francis Cardinal Arinze is answering the question if liturgical dancing and rock-and-roll music is acceptable when the Holy Mass is celebrated in the United States.
This Is Why I Love Cardinal ArinzeThursday, February 18, 2010 \PM\.\Thu\.
Res & Explicatio for A.D. 5-20-2009Wednesday, May 20, 2009 \AM\.\Wed\.
Salvete AC readers!
Here are today's Top Picks in the Catholic world:
1. In sharp contrast to having the most pro-abortion president in the history of our great nation, my favorite prelate Francis Cardinal Arinze delivered an electrifying speech at Thomas More College which is located in Merrimack, New Hampshire. His Eminence touched on the importance of a Catholic university shaping and forming solid Christian citizens. Some highlights include the following [emphasis mine]:
"A Catholic college or university educates students to appreciate that moral rules of right and wrong apply also to science, technology, politics, trade and commerce, and indeed to all human endeavors."
"But what does it profit us if a student is an intellectual giant but a moral baby… if he or she can shoot out mathematical or historical facts like a computer but is unfortunately a problem for the parents, corrosive acid among companions in the College, a drug addict and sexual pervert, a disgrace to the school, a waste-pipe in the place of work and Case number 23 for the Criminal Police? It is clear that intellectual development is not enough."
Cardinal Arinze doesn't play the cowardly intellectual game of "nuance". That is why I love this man. He speaks the truth without inhibition and with charity.

2. In a recent Knights of Columbus-Marist College survey, Pope Benedict XVI is receiving a 59% approval rating from Americans. The number jumps up to 76% when polling only American Catholics. One interesting fact from this poll is that Americans want to hear our German shepherd speak out about abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and marriage by a margin of 2 to 1 or more!
Very impressive numbers considering the negative light the mainstream media has put his papacy. It goes to show that Pope Benedict XVI's communication skills are highly effective and have found a receptive audience in America. The constant barrage of moral relativism and biased reporting from the likes such as CNN and the New York Times hasn't been able to cloud the message of love that our Pope constantly sends out.
This is wonderful news combined with the fact that more Americans identify themselves as pro-life than pro-abortion/pro-choice for the first time since the passage of Roe v. Wade, we are making strides.

Two-day Workshop held November 15–16, 2010 at STScI
Slitless spectroscopy with HST has come to the forefront in recent years with a growing fraction of telescope time being allocated to this mode, especially in the most recent Cycle 18. The WFC3 IR grisms have been receiving much of the attention but ACS and STIS also have slitless modes, and an extensive set of NICMOS grism observations are also available in the archives. In addition, the aXe software developed at ST-ECF (Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility) now makes it much easier to reduce slitless spectroscopy. For example, this software has been used to extract spectra for 32,149 different objects based on ACS G800L data and 1,923 targets for NICMOS G141 observations. The extractions are available via the Hubble Legacy Archive. See www.stecf.org/archive/hla/ for details.
STScI, in collaboration with the ST-ECF and ESA, held a two day workshop on November 15 - 16, 2010 to support reduction and analysis of slitless spectroscopy. Both experts and beginners were invited. The workshop worked through specific data sets from start to finish using the aXe software, and also provided opportunities for people to present and discuss details of their own analysis.
Participants were able to download the software, cookbook, and relevant datasets before arriving at the workshop.

Third in a series
AUSTIN, Texas
IT WAS a cloudy, drippy night early last March, but the Google Village was easy to spot from a block away. To show off to participants in the South by Southwest Interactive festival, the Internet giant took over several bars along a block and a half of Rainey Street, a strip of small bungalows just to the southeast of the Austin Convention Center. Marking the entrance to the area was a towering red inverted teardrop, that familiar symbol from Google Maps. Each bungalow was lit up in a different candy color, and inside, little wonders awaited: Lego competitions, a Google Maps-themed pinball machine, and pedal-powered margarita makers. Attendees of South by Southwest, also known as SXSW, flocked to the village, all lured in by the buzz and the promise of free food and drinks.
Seeing all this, a visitor from Massachusetts naturally wonders: Would Boston ever let a major tech company — or anybody else — put up such a glitzy attraction in the heart of the city? And if so, what about something much larger? Popular as it was, the Google Village was just a sideshow at SXSW, a much larger collection of events that takes over downtown Austin every March. The festival has helped to transform the Texas capital, once known primarily for its live music, into a showcase for innovation and tech entrepreneurship.
While the Boston area has different set of assets, one of the key economic challenges it faces — a reputation as a buttoned-down place where it's often difficult to get things done — would be dramatically countered if it played host to an event like South by Southwest. So the obvious question is: Why not?
Launched in 1987 by staffers at The Austin Chronicle, an alternative newsweekly, South by Southwest began as a showcase for the rock scene in Texas' state capital, which at the time was a college town with a slacker vibe. A film and multimedia festival followed in 1994; it later split into two events, one of which — SXSW Interactive — soon became one of the world's most important showcases for emerging technologies. The messaging network Twitter and geolocation app Foursquare first attracted widespread attention there.
Last year, the interactive festival alone attracted 25,000 registered attendees; tech workers, aspiring entrepreneurs, advertising executives, media bigwigs, and others paid $600 and up per badge. Call it Lollapalooza with lanyards; the Austin Convention Center and a number of nearby hotels play host to trade exhibits; to "lounges" sponsored by companies and nonprofits; and to hundreds of panels with titles ranging from "Crowdsourcing Science" to "The Great Library Swindle: Your Rights Are at Risk" to "Y Rappers R Better Marketers than U." Thousands more come for the semi-official and unofficial events that have sprung up around the conference over the years. In all of this, high-profile Boston-area institutions are highly visible; the MIT Media Lab, the start-up competition Mass Challenge, and Harvard Business School were all represented at last year's conference.
Austin's chilled-out attitude, as evidenced by its accommodation of a multi-headed mega-festival, creates something important: an easy setting in which locals and visitors from around the world can meet each other, bounce ideas around, and make business contacts. There is a vast amount of pent-up energy in the worlds of technology, media, advertising, and the arts. And when a city tries to channel that energy, the result looks a lot like South by Southwest Interactive.
For its part, the Boston area doesn't need to insist on its own importance as a producer of bright college graduates. What it does need to prove to the world, and to itself, is that it's a place where technology, business, and culture are free to combine in creative, unpredictable ways. As it stands, there's little interaction between tech wizards in Kendall Square and the more traditional civic, arts, and business institutions in the region. A large-scale Boston culture-and-technology event would bring them all together, and prove that the qualities that seem so forbidding to visitors — the wariness about disruptions, the skepticism about commercial endeavors, the instinct toward imposing order on things from above — can be suspended, at least for a week.
To be sure, the growth of South by Southwest is the source of some annoyance to Austinites, who fret about traffic delays and the difficulty of snagging a badge at an affordable price. But it also demonstrates an appetite for technology-and-arts events — and an obvious market opportunity for Boston and other cities that hopes to capture the same energy.
There are reasons to think Boston would be more successful: The local higher-ed community provides a wealth of tech brainpower; the ever-growing Boston Book Festival and the now-gigantic PAX East video-game expo bespeak some experience with major events. What's been lacking is the drive to knit such events together. Doing so would open up a realm of other possibilities. The influx of eyeballs into Austin for South by Southwest has spawned activities not strictly related to it — everything from a fashion conference to a pop-up manicure lounge to electronic-music parties.
Unfortunately, big events in Boston sometimes fall victim to petty disputes and parochial questions: Who'll handle the permitting for all the free food and drinks? Who'll pay for the police details? But if the City of Boston can't make a sprawling conference work, perhaps the more free-wheeling Cambridge and Somerville can.
Indeed, it's easy to think of communities and institutions that would benefit from raising or reinforcing their profile in the tech world. Harvard and MIT, which are under ever-increasing pressure to out-innovate their rival institutions in California and New York, might be willing to serve as the bookends for a Boston-area conference. The restaurants and clubs along Massachusetts Avenue could provide entertainment venues. An event in late May or June, when Boston's weather is blossoming and dozens of colleges and universities have space to spare, could present the region at its best.
Austin has grown up around South by Southwest. When the festival started, Austin wasn't much bigger — either statistically or in its national cultural footprint — than sleepy Sun Belt cities like Birmingham or Baton Rouge. But as Austin boomed in the 1990s, its ability to handle ever larger crowds grew as well.
The logistics may be trickier in a city that first came to prominence more than three centuries earlier. But to keep thriving, Greater Boston has to conceive of itself as young, dynamic, and enterprising. A city that often takes its own advantages for granted can bring itself to tout them; and if the city can do this, it can do a lot of other things that might seem impossible.

For the solar thermal sector, the ALMECO GROUP has developed TiNOX energy, the world's first range of highly selective absorbent coatings which are designed to prevent heat loss and allow for the conversion of more than 90% of incident solar energy into thermal energy.
The ALMECO GROUP developed vega energy in the thermodynamic field, which is a concentration range of specular surfaces with reflectance up to 98%. They are used in the parabolic solar collectors CSP (Concentrated Solar Power) and CPV (Concentrated Photovoltaic) or solar thermal collectors and evacuated CPC (Compound Parabolic Concentrator) tubes, standing out in particular for its excellent performance in the CSP micro-concentrators and the linear Fresnel collector systems.
The core of the solar thermal panels is the absorber, which is given the unique task of collecting the energy in the form of solar radiation and converting it into heat. The more efficient the absorber is, the greater the heat produced by the panel will be. What results is free energy that is environmentally friendly and reliable: energy for our future.
Reflective surfaces are a key element in solar concentrating systems: these in fact should reflect the solar radiation as effectively and accurately as possible.
The ALMECO GROUP has developed a range of vega energy specular surfaces, with reflection even higher than 98% manufactured through a PVD process in the Bernburg plant in Germany.
To guarantee the highest efficiency in each specific application, the ALMECO GROUP has developed a wide range of surfaces with different characteristics within the range of vega energy.

Low energy buildings with high CO2 saving potential still have a limited market uptake. This is one of the reasons why the Commission plans to focus strongly on the construction sector. On the occasion of the annual congress of the European Construction Industry Federation FIEC in Istanbul, the European Commission Vice-President Tajani presented today the main lines of a strategy to boost the competitiveness of the construction sector which will be presented after the summer. The proposed actions will include: 1) stimulating favourable investment conditions, in particular in the renovation and maintenance of buildings and infrastructures, by promoting financial instruments such as loan guarantees and project bonds as well as encouraging incentives at national level such as reduced VAT rates; 2) boosting innovation and improving worker's qualifications by promoting mobility and the circulation of information on curricula, employment market and employer's needs; 3) improving resource efficiency and environmental performance, promoting mutual recognition of sustainable construction systems in the EU; 4) providing standard design codes of practice to construction companies making it easier for them to work in other Member States; 5) fostering the global position of European construction enterprises to stimulate good performances and sustainable standards in third countries.
The construction sector plays an extremely important role in the European economy, generating 6,3% of GDP (this figure reaches almost 10% if construction product manufacturers, architects, engineers and others involved are also considered) and providing 20 million jobs, mainly in micro and small enterprises. The performance of the construction sector can significantly influence the development of the overall economy. The energy performance of buildings and resource efficiency in manufacturing, transport and the use of products for the construction of buildings and infrastructures have an important impact on the quality of life of Europeans. The competitiveness of construction companies is therefore an important issue not only for growth and employment in general but also to ensure the sustainability of the sector. In order to respond to the key challenges outlined above, a European strategy for the next decade will be presented soon.
Why the need for a strategy:
the introduction of Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) as agreed in the recast of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive will be a major challenge for the construction sector;
efforts to improve energy efficiency and to integrate renewable energy sources are progressing slowly;
the burst of the housing bubble in some Member States has significantly reduced activity thus generating unemployment;
there have been severe drops in demand in the private residential market and in the infrastructure market;
building and infrastructure works fell by 16 % between January 2008 and November 2011 across the EU -27;
the contraction of credit markets put further pressure on investments in infrastructure works;
the sector is in constant need for skilled labour;
the situation in international markets is critical. The difficulties arise from the conditions of competition in other countries such as less stringent social and environmental requirements and benefit from state aid, e.g. China, which limit the opportunities to access these markets.
The response at European level: a strategy.
The strategy will lay out a detailed Action Plan focusing on five key objectives:
a) Stimulating favourable investment conditions;
Particular emphasis should be put on encouraging the activity of building renovation and infrastructure maintenance. In particular, current building renovation rates (1.2% per year) and practices in terms of energy-efficiency improvement are insufficient to achieve EU 2020 energy-saving targets.
On 30 May the Commission's "Action for Stability, Growth and Jobs" proposed to increase by €10 billion the capital of the EIB. One this additional lending capacity of the Bank is put into practice it will be directed to help the SME sector including in areas such as energy efficiency and housing renovation.
Structural and Cohesion Funds (2007-2013) may be used for energy-efficiency and renewable-energy investments not only in public and commercial buildings but also in existing housing. The new proposal for an EU Cohesion Policy for 2014-2020 places even greater emphasis on supporting investments related to EU energy targets and suggests nearly doubling the amount allocated to sustainable energy in the current period, including for building renovation.
TransEuropean Networks projects can revitalise the growth of the construction sector while helping achieve the objectives of the European Energy, Transport and Cohesion Policies.
Research and innovation activities should combine technologic and socio-economic research into instruments (training, public procurement, standardisation, insurance, etc.) to accelerate the transition from research to exploitation.
b) Improving the human-capital basis of the construction sector;
It is necessary to better anticipate future skills and qualification needs, to attract a sufficient number of students to relevant construction professions and to create the conditions for a better working environment and career management, for a greater mobility of construction workers and for wider provision of cross-border services. The Posting of Workers Directive aims to ensure that the posted worker has the same core labour rights as the workers of the host Member State
c) Improving resource efficiency, environmental performance and business opportunities;
In order to allow the concept of sustainable construction to be more widely used, harmonised indicators, codes and methods for assessments of environmental performances will need to be developed for construction products, processes and works. These should ensure a mutually recognised interpretation of the performances.
Mutual recognition or harmonisation of the various existing assessment methods will be considered.
Pilot projects developed within the context of Green Public Procurement and regional policy could provide planning and contracting authorities with the appropriate tools.
d) Strengthening the Internal Market for construction;
In order to ensure a better functioning of the Internal Market for construction products and services, it is important that rules are as clear and predictable as possible and that administrative costs are proportionate to the objectives. Europe will work to make sure that clarification or additional measures are provided to reduce the administrative burden on construction operators and improve the functioning of the Internal Market in the construction sector.
Standardisation through the use of Eurocodes could facilitate this convergence process. It is a set of design standards and the most up-to-date codes of practice applicable to all construction materials, all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of structures and products. Each country can adapt the Eurocodes to their specific conditions and risk assessment regarding climate, seismic risk, traditions,
e) Fostering the global competitive position of European construction enterprises.
Specific fora with Africa and Latin America on sustainable construction could stimulate a transformation of public procurement in these markets towards performance criteria, sustainability and cost-effectiveness.
The EU-Africa Partnership for transport infrastructure provides opportunities to improve transcontinental connections and create a more reliable and safer transport system
The EU initiative 'Small Business, Big World' will offer relevant information, advice and assistance to small specialised contractors in their attempt to access international markets and to find potential business partners. The European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) also facilitates the development of new business models for SMEs, in particular for internationalisation.
Next steps
It is intended to call for a High Level Group or Forum, with Member States and sectoral representatives to oversee the implementation of the strategy, and make recommendations on any necessary adjustments or new initiatives to be launched.
Background figures
In low energy buildings, 80% of the operational costs can be saved through integrated design solutions; however there is still a limited market uptake. So far, around 20.000 low energy houses have been built in Europe of which approximately 17.000 in Germany and Austria alone.
At present, seven EU MS have defined for themselves when a building is a low energy building (AT, CZ, DK, UK, FI, FR and DE, BE (Flanders), a few more (LUX, RO, SK, SE) plan to do so. Typically the required decrease in energy consumption will range from 30 to 50 % of what is defined for standard technology for new buildings.

Republican from Farmville runs strong locally
U.S. Rep. Walter Jones was on his way to winning a 10th term to the U.S. House, with early numbers Tuesday giving him a solid lead in the District 3 race.
The Associated Press named Jones the projected winner just after 8:30 p.m. Tuesday. As of 9 p.m. Tuesday, Jones had 62 percent of the vote according to unofficial results, while Democratic challenger Erik Anderson had 38 percent. Jones totaled 117,226 votes to Anderson�s 71,541.
�I look forward to trying to do the right thing for our nation to stop spending money that we don�t have,� Jones said from Greenville as he was watching election returns.
Representing a district that includes Cherry Point air station and Camp Lejeune, Jones said his main focus would be to push for a withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan earlier than the planned 2014 withdrawal. He has a petition on his website that he hopes with gather enough signatures to pressure Congress and the president � be it Barack Obama or Mitt Romney � to act.
He said he felt that a move would be made to pass a resolution delaying sequestration � the equivalent to across the board budget cuts � once the election is over.
�I want to thank everyone and let them know that I will continue to represent the people of the third district,� he said.
Beyond pushing for fiscal responsibility and withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, Jones� campaign message included less federal involvement in matters such as education and offshore drilling. He advocated that those issues should be left up to states and supported Obama when he allowed states to opt out of No Child Left Behind.
Jones, from Farmville, served in the N.C. House from 1983 to 1995 before being elected to Congress, where he serves on the House Armed Services Committee.
Anderson, who spent five years in the Marine Corps, ran a grassroots campaign and said he fought Jones� early support on wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and that Jones has now seen the errors of that early support. He said the worst threat to the economy is a failed energy policy, and stressed that solar and wind energy would create jobs in the region and stressed his opposition to offshore drilling.
Anderson, who has degrees from Craven Community College and East Carolina University, was seeking to hold his first elected office.

"When a Student Says, 'I'm Not a Boy or a Girl'
|AMAZE, the Sex Ed playlist for 10-14-year-olds featuring over 50 animated videos on the nuances of puberty and growing up, is launching the "AMAZE Parent Playlist" for parents of 4-9 year-olds. The Parent Playlist marks a new target audience for the AMAZE series and is designed specifically to help parents as they broach these complicated topics with even younger children in an informative and age-appropriate manner.
"The earlier that parents can begin a dialogue with their children, the better – and while it may feel difficult to talk to very young children about sensitive topics, our kids will be healthier in the future," said Deborah Roffman, sexuality educator and content expert for the AMAZE Parents Playlist. "For so many parents, the idea of talking to young children about sexuality sparks existential dread. But it doesn't have to be that way – these videos will help parents ease their fears, leave embarrassment at the door, and find comfortable ways to lay the groundwork for a healthy outlook on everything from relationships, consent, body image, and much more."
With titles ranging from "How Do You Talk to Young Kids About 'Sex'" to "Where Do Babies Come From" to "Is Playing Doctor OK?," the first 10 animated videos in the AMAZE Parent Playlist will help parents continue building an open dialogue with their kids and lay the groundwork to lead safe and healthy lives.
All 10 videos are available here.
AMAZE, funded by the Westwind Foundation, is a collaboration between Advocates for Youth, Answer, and Youth Tech Health working to create an engaging, age appropriate, online sex education resource for young people aged 4-14. There's help for parents and teachers too. Visit AMAZE.org for tools to help facilitate a healthy discussion with your kids and students about these essential but sensitive subjects.
The Value of Childhood Crushes
Debbie was quoted in "The Value of Childhood Crushes," by Bonnie Rough in The New York Times, Feb 13, 2009. [Crushes are] "a normal part of development, when kids start to see each other in ways that are a little bit different. I really do believe that they get a little zing in their heart."
We Just Can't Let Boys Be Boys
The New York Times published Debbie's letter (New York Times, Oct 9, 2018) in response to Peggy Orenstein's article "We Just Can't Let Boys Be Boys," New York Times, September 29, 2018).
Here is an excerpt from Peggy Orenstein's article:
For the past two years I have been interviewing high school and college-age men for a book on their experience of physical and emotional intimacy. I'm not convinced they are always reliable narrators of their own experience. At times, I can almost see the shadow of a girl behind them as they speak — a girl who is furious, traumatized, grieving over harms big and small that the boy in question simply didn't recognize, or didn't want to.
At some point in our conversation, these young men usually referred to themselves as "good guys," and mostly, I would say, they were. They had also all been duly admonished by some adult in their lives — a parent, a coach — to "respect women." But that, along with "don't get anyone pregnant," was pretty much the totality of their sex education. As one college sophomore said to me, "That's kind of like telling someone who's learning to drive not to run over any little old ladies and then handing him the car keys. Well, of course, you think you're not going to run over an old lady. But you still don't know how to drive."
And here is an excerpt from Debbie's comment:
Peggy Orenstein is right. Too many parents — and schools — abdicate responsibility for talking with boys about sexual ethics and emotional intimacy, in effect turning them over to the default options of peers, older boys and siblings, misogynistic locker room banter and digital street corners.
The "boys will be boys" stereotype certainly gives license for boys to disrespect, devalue and mistreat girls, but deeper analysis of it also reveals the fundamentally demeaning ways in which we think about boys
Ten Tips for Talking to Teenagers About Consent and Sexual Boundaries
Debbie's article, "Ten Tips for Talking to Teenagers About Consent and Sexual Boundaries," was published on The Kojo Nnamdi Show Blog, September 24, 2018. The Kojo Nnamdi Show is on American University Radio, 12 pm to 1 pm ET on Monday through Friday. An excerpt:
"The one constant in young people's lives are their parents and guardians. Decades of research demonstrates that it's open communication at home about sexual topics that is the most significant factor in keeping teens out of harm's way. So regardless of the current public spectacle on our screens, or the prevailing cultural or social milieu, parents can be the consistent voice of reason and reality that helps kids make wise decisions.
A Key To Appropriate Behavior: Self-Respect
Following Debbie's recent letter in the New York Times, she was interviewed for the program On The Record, on WYPR, public radio for Baltimore and Maryland. The program was titled, "A Key To Appropriate Behavior: Self-Respect," on December 7, 2017. Click here for the audio.
"We talk with Deborah Roffman, author and human sexuality educator at the Park School of Baltimore, about eye-opening events in the past five years that changed attitudes about taking what you want versus getting permission. Roffman teaches boys and girls as young as 9–fourth graders–and says forming personal boundaries starts with building self-respect."

On Gilad Atzmon's Book "The Wandering Who"
and the Reactions
Anis Hamadeh, October 4, 2014
Gilad Atzmon's book "The Wandering Who" about Jewish identity politics has, since its publication three years ago, sparked most different reactions as well as particularly lively debates, as a glance on the controversial author's Wikipedia page shows. Some view him as an inspired fighter for justice, as an undaunted source of ideas and impulses, even a prophet, while others despise him as an "anti-Semite" and demonize him as a soul catcher in the quagmire of extreme right-wing ideas. What's in this prophetic devil's book? What do people say about it? What is to make of it?Read More

Leading Your Team with Meetings that Work
Many employees (and leaders) have a bad feeling about meetings, but productive meetings serve many important purposes. You can lead your meetings more effectively when you follow a few guidelines:
Always start on time. Let your people know that you value their presence and their time.
Have an agenda. The perfect agenda would be one that the entire team put together, but that may be impossible. Important items may come up prior to the meeting. Let the team review the agenda and help prioritize the items.
Allow everyone the opportunity to contribute. If employees know they are encouraged to speak, they're more likely to pay attention and become involved.
Include celebrations. Every meeting should include something to celebrate — high production, good performance, satisfying a client, completing a training or even a birthday. Celebrations add fun and motivate employees.
Follow-up with conversations or correspondence. Utilize e-mail, blogs, newsletters, and so on to keep your vision and the company's goals in everyone's minds.
Build relationships. Meetings are an opportunity for people to interact, which is particularly important if some of them work more at computers than face to face. Share personal and professional stories to build trust and bond.

2014 Higher Education Technology Landscape
The 2014 Higher Education Technology Landscape infographic from EDUVENTURES is the effort to make sense of the higher education technology landscape for the decision-makers who are tasked with determining new ways to provide better learning outcomes, building and maintaining a modern technology infrastructure, and rationalizing investment decisions.
Leaders in higher education face mounting pressure to deliver and account for better learning outcomes, embrace digital disruption, and replace aging and ineffective infrastructure with newer, cloud-based solutions. To take advantage of this opportunity, new and established vendors have flooded the education technology market, making it one of the most dynamic segments of the high-tech landscape.
It's estimated that colleges and universities will spend between $20B and $25B this year on technology and services, enabling institutions to support faculty, and administration, as well as effectively market, recruit, enroll, instruct, engage, and prepare students and alums. The solutions span many categories, including enrollment management specialists, adaptive learning platforms, retention solutions, online program managers, social engagement networks, crowdsourcing applications, software-defined networks, big data platforms, and enterprise resource planning (ERP). The market is vast, confusing, and ill-defined. We hear from our clients regularly that while they want to take advantage of these new tools and solutions, they are perplexed by the ever-growing number of categories and technology vendors, and struggle with how to best to evaluate them.
To meet this growing need among our clients, Eduventures has initiated a new research focus to provide on-going analysis of the technology market to support higher education decision-makers. Our goal is to make the market more understandable, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of technology and service offerings, and help leaders make informed decisions when selecting and implementing solutions that meet their unique institutional and learner needs.
Eduventures has developed a taxonomy to make sense of this technology landscape as a foundation for on-going research and analysis on this dynamic market:
A student lifecycle framework for understanding the overall market and segmentsAn initial categorization of hundreds of vendors serving the market
We have identified over 50 categories and hundreds of providers that market and sell technology and services to post-secondary institutions, which demonstrates how daunting this market can be for higher education leaders. Even with this preliminary analysis, we recognize that there are additional categories and companies to that can be added—our intention is to respond dynamically as new companies emerge and to update this landscape as it continues to mature, converge and evolve.
Complexity is the key message of this design. A lot of work went into identifying and categorizing all of these different services, but the message is clear that it's a difficult job to setup the technology services any higher educational institution needs.
Any infographic design is going to be shared on it's own, without the accompanying article, so designers should always include the URL address back to the original in the infographic image. Most people that share infographics don't include the link back to the infographic landing page, and including that as text in the image file will help your readers find their way back to the full-size, original version you posted.

text: Templeton's Michael Hasenstab sees the big dangers of last year receding. But new strategies are needed to prosper, given the likelihood of future inflation. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist February 1, 2013 Republicans seem to have decided against using the debt ceiling as a political weapon. China has sidestepped a hard landing, and its economy is growing about 8% annually. The euro zone, while still in recession, seems to have avoided the crackup that many had predicted.See Also: Goldberg's 2013 Stock Fund Picks I'm not donning rose-colored glasses, but the world looks like a safer place (at least economically speaking) than it did even a year ago. Michael Hasenstab, manager of Templeton Global Bond A (symbol TPINX) and one of my most trusted authorities at assessing the global outlook, says we have moved "beyond Armageddon." At the same time, Hasenstab warns investors: "What has worked over the last decade will not work going forward." By that, he means inflation and higher interest rates are now the big threat to bond investors. U.S. Treasury bonds in particular are no longer "the safe haven asset" they have been for most of the past 30 years. Advertisement Even though Hasenstab runs a load fund that most do-it-yourself investors probably shouldn't pay to buy, he is worth listening to because of his track record ‐ both as a prognosticator and a fund manager. Last July, for instance, when the world looked much dicier, Hasenstab correctly predicted that things would turn out relatively well. Hasenstab's fund, which invests in government bonds and currencies worldwide, returned an annualized 10.3% over the past ten years. Over the past 12 months, it gained 10.1%. My favorite way to access Hasenstab's talents, through Templeton Global Total Return A (TGTRX) ‐ a younger, near clone of Global Bond that invests in corporate bonds as well as sovereign debt ‐ has done even better. It returned an annualized 11.0% over the past three years and 13.7% over the past 12 months. All those returns put both Templeton funds in either the top 1% or 2% of global bond funds, according to Morningstar. (All returns are through January 28.) In the U.S., the economy continues its slow climb from the deep 2007-09 recession. Hasenstab is encouraged that the U.S. seems to have been spared the worst of the "fiscal cliff" ‐ namely a default caused by failure to raise the federal debt ceiling. But he's concerned that Congress and President Obama have failed to take meaningful action toward bringing the nation's long-term debt under control. Chinese economic policymakers, Hasenstab says, "continue to be quite prudent." Wages are rising, making the country more reliant on domestic demand than on exports. Advertisement The promise of massive intervention by the European Central Bank has pushed up bond prices (and pushed down bond yields, which move inversely from prices) in the debt-troubled euro-zone countries. Europe faces "a long hard slog" in reducing debt and building a closer union, Hasenstab says, but the critical phase is past. The U.S., the euro zone (through its central bank) and Japan have each launched massive quantitative easing programs ‐ essentially all are printing tons of money. The strategy is untested, and ending it will be difficult and tricky. Meanwhile, all that money sloshing around the world risks creating asset bubbles, especially in emerging markets. Inflation and rising interest rates are the likely outcome from these policies. The trick for bond investors is to pick countries that can nip inflation in the bud. To earn good returns in the coming years, Hasenstab prefers well-run emerging nations to most developed countries. The economic fundamentals of most developing nations are still excellent, and most of these countries have little debt. Outside of emerging markets, Hasenstab likes Scandinavia. Advertisement Although Hasenstab still thinks the dollar will be stronger than the euro or the yen, he has increasingly favored emerging-markets currencies over dollar- denominated foreign bonds. He's made a big ‐ and so far successful ‐ bet on Ireland, and he's investing heavily in eastern Europe, as well as Asia and Latin America. Unless you can invest in the Templeton fund without paying a sales charge, I wouldn't advise you to buy it. You have plenty of no-load options. Pimco Emerging Local Bond (PELBX), for example, invests almost exclusively in emerging-markets bonds and currencies. Loomis Sayles Bond (LSBRX) , a member of the Kiplinger 25, has fewer investments in emerging markets, but its managers approach the developed world similarly to Hasenstab. Steven T. Goldberg is an investment adviser in the Washington, D.C. area.

Queen delighted after her horse wins historic Gold Cup
It's a good day at Royal Ascot for the queen, after her horse Estimate wins an historic race.
It keeps getting better for Queen Elizabeth II: Her horse won an historic Gold Cup race at Ascot today, the first time in the two centuries of the race it has been won by a reigning monarch.
The horse-loving queen, widely respected as an expert on horse breeding and racing, appeared to be delighted as she accepted the Gold Cup after her horse, Estimate, romped to victory at Royal Ascot, the annual five-day horse-racing extravaganza that brings out brightly-plumed royals and toffs alongside ordinary punters.
"One has won!" exclaimed the cheeky Daily Mail headline.
The BBC, ever ready with historical detail, reported that it was the first time in the 207-year history of the race that a reigning monarch's horse has won the Gold Cup.
Ordinarily, the queen distributes the trophies after the races; this time, her second-eldest son, Prince Andrew Duke of York, stepped in to present the cup to his mother as she beamed. She was dressed in her usual coat-and-hat outfit in an intense lavender color, which matched the silks her jockey, Ryan Moore, was wearing for the race.
Earlier, as the horses came down the track, Andrew's daughters, the queen's granddaughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, were pictured in the royal enclosure jumping up, pumping arms and cheering as Estimate won.
The queen doesn't ordinarily jump up and down (she's 87), but she "looked ecstatic," the Daily Mail reported.
And everybody was thrilled for her, including her latest prime minister, David Cameron. "Huge congratulations to Her Majesty for Estimate's victory at Royal #Ascot – first time ever a reigning monarch's horse has won the Gold Cup," he tweeted.
One of her grandsons, Peter Phillips, told reporters that horse racing is the queen's passion. "Every year she strives to have winners and to have the big one at Royal Ascot means so much to her and to everyone involved in racing," he said. "A win like this is truly, truly special."
Actually, the queen has won various races at Ascot at least 21 times, the BBC said; the first, famously, came just two weeks after her 1953 Coronation when her horse, Choir Boy, won the Hunt Cup. The queen is so keen on Royal Ascot she has rarely missed the meet in her 61 years on the throne.
The queen has been looking especially happy in pictures lately and with good reason: Her third great-grandchild, a future monarch and the first child of Prince William and Duchess Kate of Cambridge, is due in a few weeks. She's about to celebrate the 60th anniversary of her crowning with a Coronation Festival.
Her husband, Prince Philip, got out of the hospital early, looking hale, and is recovering satisfactorily following exploratory surgery. And at recent royal occasions, such as her birthday Trooping the Color and the Order of the Garter service at Windsor Castle, the pictures showed her smiling widely.

Real-Time Face Anonymization Without Loss of Facial InformationJohn McCarthy Stage
IAV Maskin enters completely new directions in anonymisation. Using artificial intelligence methods, key features such as line of sight and facial expressions are identified in the original data. During the next step, the originally recorded face is replaced by a synthetic face, which has the same direction and facial expressions as the original face. Now the new face cannot be recognized as the original one. The value of the data is completely preserved, like in the case with natural data. Without IAV Maskin, a dramatic loss of information and serious image recognition errors are inevitable. The development of camera-based systems for driver assistance or infrastructure observation is no longer possible without IAV Maskin - at least not without violating personal rights.

When settlers in New England decided they were going to go out West, these pioneers didn't know what awaited them; they were going where almost no one had gone before.
Their trials and tribulations act as an inspiration for the Pioneer Brewing Company's Manifest Destiny Series, a trio of beers inspired by the "New England pioneers' arduous journey," Pioneer owner/brewer Todd Sullivan said.
"We're doing all imperials," said Sullivan. "We've done very well with them. We're setting ourselves apart from the other breweries. We made the decision to brew imperials and imperials only."
The three beers, Into the Woods, Path to the Unknown and the New Frontier, all feature a paragraph about the trip to the West, written by Sullivan's history teacher sister.
"I don't think anyone has created a story with their beers," said Sullivan. "It's really cool. It's like a history lesson."
The first beer in the series, Into the Woods, is meant to symbolize how the pioneers walked right into the woods with no idea what lay ahead of them. The beer itself is a 9 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) Vienna lager.
Sullivan said the beer is a "nice balanced lager," that's similar to an Oktoberfest, but much higher alcohol.
The second beer in the series is the Path to the Unknown, where the pioneers reached the middle part of the country and had no idea what awaited� them. The beer�is a 10 percent ABV double American brown ale.
"I wanted a dark, ominous beer to symbolize heading out West," Sullivan said.
The final beer in the series is the New Frontier, an 11 percent ABV double IPA. He called it a "happy, sunny IPA," to symbolize the pioneers' joy at arriving at their new home.
All of the beers are brewed at the Rapscallion Barrel and Taproom in Fiskdale,�a�part of Sturbridge Sullivan knows well. For 10 years, he owned Pioneer Brewing Company as a brick-and-mortar facility and contract brewed Rapscallion beers. Last year, Sullivan sold the brewery to Rapscallion, and he now brews his beers there during Rapscallion's off-hours.
"They were looking for a location and I told them I was looking for a more contract brewing situation, and they made me an offer," said Sullivan. "Somebody referred to it as� 'Freaky Friday,' because we just changed roles."
Now, Sullivan is looking to relocate the Pioneer Brewing Company to Connecticut, where he lives. There, he will continue to brew the Manifest Destiny series, as well as a series of second running beers, which are made with the same ingredients used in the first batch, so they come out lower in alcohol.
Sullivan also plans�to release a new Manifest Destiny beer later this year which will tell the story between the Path to the Unknown and the New Frontier.
The beer will be called Forge Ahead, and it will be a double saison, Sullivan said.

Welcome to the forum!
I hate to point this out, but if every one you find is above the going rate, you need to re-evaluate what you consider to be the "going rate."

Ajax crave European reprieve
Normally, the proposition of facing Manchester United over two legs in Europe would strike fear into most sides, but Ajax, the winner of 30 Dutch league titles, have no reason to be overawed
However, on this occasion, it's not the club's four European Cups or historically affluent youth system that gives them reason to be fearless in the headlights of English league football's most decorated club, rather the feeling that little more can go wrong at the Amsterdam Arena.
Last Thursday, all five of the club's board, including Johan Cruyff, offered their resignation after the club legend won a court battle to prevent ex-manager Louis Van Gaal joining the board.
The decision to appoint the former Bayern Munich coach was made by the other four members of the board, without the knowledge of Cruyff, who learnt of his victory in the courts last Tuesday.
Cruyff rejoined the board last year, but quickly fell out with fellow members after attempting to implement a number of changes, which included demanding an overhaul of the club's youth training programme, and for leading names to be handed primary roles in the backroom staff.
The board or directors, including chairman Uri Coronel, subsequently resigned, labelling Cruyff the 'demi-god' of Ajax.
The three-time European Cup quickly played God with Ajax's fortunes, implemented his aforementioned suggestions, bringing in Dennis Bergkamp and Wim Jonk to the run the academy, while Frank de Boer received backing as manager.
These boardroom rumblings have worked as a suitable backdrop to a miserable season on the pitch.
The club look certain to relinquish the Eredivisie title, after finishing top of the pile for the first time in seven years last term, and are likely to miss out on the Champions League cash cow.
While their title challenge fell apart, form in this season's Champions League was encouraging, with only a heavy goal swing likely to see 'The Lancers' miss out on the last 16. As luck would have it, Ajax fell on their sword, dropping into the Europa League.
"It is quite surprising that Manchester United and Ajax haven't met more often Europe since they are two big teams," De Boer commented, as his side's luck continued as they drew the Premier League champions.
As ever, while the Ajax production line never fails to let up, an endless stream of players continue to leave, Maarten Stekelenburg being the latest, and Christian Eriksen likely to be the next, potentially to Old Trafford.
The nature of European football in the modern day means Ajax's hand is forced, but matters are hardly improved when without continuity on the pitch, off the pitch matters follow a similar pattern.
"Ajax have become an academy for those clubs," De Boer said. "What we see these days is that players leave Ajax in their early twenties for a bigger salary elsewhere."
"That is why our youth is so incredibly important for us. And maybe, if we have a bit of luck and have six or seven great youngsters coming through plus perhaps two experienced players, we could do something in Europe."
Despite being a beneficiary of Cruyff's power-trip, De Boer knows any progress on the pitch can only precede with boardroom stability. For now, it might be about damage limitation.News Now - Sport News

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dragon Shout Guide
Dragon Shout Guide by VixenofVenus
Updated: 11/17/11
Your Guide to Dragon Shouts
By Darth VeX
Table of Contents
Part 1 Advice on Using Shouts
Part 2 The Dragon Language
Part 3 Dragon Shouts and Locations
As most of you know already, you unlock new words of
power in the Dragon Language at the word walls
scattered across the land of Skyrim. But adding these
new words to your growing vocabulary is not all that is
needed to use the new words you find in powerful Dragon
Shouts. You'll also need to absorb the souls of
But, of all the things you'll do in Skyrim, absorbing
the souls of those pesky Dragons is a much less daunting
task than actually fully learning the language of the
great serpents. Hopefully, with this guide, you can do
just that, and become fully versed on the Dragon
language and turn those powerful shouts against them.
Part 1
Most Dragon shouts can be used in three different ways,
by how long you hold down the button used for your
Shout ability. A quick tap of the button will use only
the first word, the least powerful of the shout. A
quick hold and release will use the first two words and
simply holding down the button fully will shout out all
three words.
While using the full blast of the three-word Thu'um
gives you a sense of power and ability, sometimes the
most appropriate use of your powers is to only use a bit
of your ability. When you use the full shout, the
recharge time is usually nearly twice as long as that of
just using the first word of the same shout.
In most instances, the first word of a shout is plenty
powerful enough for the situation you find yourself in.
It's important to keep this in mind, because there will
be times when you'll want to use the powers you have
several times in a single fight. Using the different
lengths of shouts can make the difference between life
and death in Skyrim.
Some Dragon Shouts can only be used when all three words
are shouted, but most have a variety of power and
variation. For those having problems using just one or
two words, here's a quick hint:
For the first word only, simply tap the button quickly.
You should hear your character simply shout the first
For two words, push the button and hold it until you
hear your character inhale once, then release the
button. Your character should shout out two words this
For three words, you hold the button until you hear your
character inhale twice, then when you release the button
your character will release his full-throated Thu'um.

Words of Power (Meaning/Cooldown)
- Word Wall Location 1
- Word Wall Location 2
- Word Wall Location 3: Main Quest Name
Description / Notes
Raan (Animal/50) - Mir (Allegiance/60) - Tah (Pack/70)
- Angarvunde (The Rift)
- Ancient's Ascent (Falkreath Hold)
- Ysgramor's Tomb (Winterhold)
A shout for help from beasts of the wild, who come to
fight in your defense. This shout will charm all nearby
animals who will fight for you for a short period of
Laas (Life/30) - Yah (Seek/40) - Nir (Hunt/50)
- Northwind Summit (The Rift)
- Valthume (The Reach)
- Volunruud (The Pale)
Your Thu'um is not a shout, but an undetectable whisper,
revealing all the life forces around you. This dragon
shout is a powerful tool for thieves and assassins.
Feim (Fade/20) - Zil (Sprint/30) - Gran (Bind/40)
- Ironbind Barrow (Winterhold)
- Lost Valley Redoubt (The Reach)
- Ustengrav (Hjaalmarch): The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller
The Thu'um reaches out to the Void, changing your form
to one that cannot harm, or be harmed. Great for
retreating from a battle or getting past dangerous
Od (Snow/-) - Ah (Hunter/-) - Viing (Wing/300)
- You learn this shout during the "The Fallen"
This Shout summons the dragon Odahviing to battle during
the Main Quest: The Fallen, and once you complete the
quest, you can summon Odahviing to aid you in most
exterior areas. This shout requires that you call out
all three words ... Odahviing's whole name.
Hun (Hero/180) - Kaal (Champion/180) - Zoor (Legend/180)
- You learn this shout at the end of the Main Quest.
The valient warriors of Sovngarde hear your call, and
journey beyond space and time to lend their aid. Each
level of this shout summons a different hero, so choose
the best one to meet your current needs, since each one
has the same cooldown time:
- Gormlaith Golden-Hilt (Hun) wields a bow, sword,
shield, and a few Shouts.
- Felldir the Old (Hun Kaal) wields a greatsword and
uses a number of damaging Shouts.
- Hakon One-Eye (Hun Kaal Zoor) wields a battleaxe and
uses melee shouts.
Lok (Sky/5) - Vah (Spring/10) - Koor (Summer/15)
- You learn this shout during "The Throat of the World"
Skyrim itself yields before the Thu'um, as you clear
away fog and inclement weather. Not to mention poison
Zun (Weapon/30) - Haal (Hand/35) - Viik (Defeat/40)
- Eldersblood Peak (Hjaalmarch)
- Silverdrift Lair (The Pale)
- Snow Veil Sanctum (Winterhold)
Your Thu'um defies steel, as you rip the weapon from a
weaker opponent's grasp. This shout only works against
certain level foes, with higher levels of the shout
disarming higher level foes. Even so, some enemies may
not be disarmed.
Faas (Fear/40) - Ru (Run/45) - Maar (Terror/50)
- Dead Crane Rock (The Reach)
- Labyrinthian (Hjaalmarch)
- Lost Tongue Overlook (The Rift)
The weak shall fear the Thu'um, and flee in terror. Use
this shout to make your enemies flee from you. Higher
level uses of this shout effect higher level foes.
Joor (Mortal/10) - Zah (Finite/12) - Frul (Temporary/15)
- You learn this shout during "Alduin's Bane"
Your voice lashes out at a dragon's very soul, forcing
the beast to land. For melee fighters, this shout is
the most useful shout for fighting dragons. The more
words shouted, the higher level dragon effected.
Su (Air/30) - Grah (Battle/40) - Dun (Grace/50)
- Dragontooth Crater (The Reach)
- Killreath Ruins (Haafingar)
- Shriekwind Bastion (Falkreath Hold)
This shout imbues your arms with the speed of the wind,
allowing you to swing faster and strike quicker. This
shout only lasts a short time, but during that time,
your damage output increases vastly. However, the
weapon cannot be enchanted.
Yal (Fire/30) - Toor (Inferno/50) - Shul (Sun/100)
- Dustman's Cairn (Whiterun)
- Sunderstone Gorge (Falkreath Hold)
- Throat of the World (Whiterun): Throat of the World
Inhale air, exhale flames, and behold the Thu'um as
inferno. Against foes susceptible to fire damage, like
vampires and Frost Dragons, this shout is amazingly
useful. Be aware, the full shout's cooldown is over
three times as long as the basic first word's.
Fo (Frost/30) - Krah (Cold/50) - Diin (Freeze/100)
- Bonestrewn Crest (Eastmarch)
- Folgunthur (Hjaalmarch)
- Skyborn Alter (Hjaalmarch)
Your breath is winter, your Thu'um a blizzard. Frost
Breath does about the same damage as Fire Breath, but
instead of setting enemies on fire, it slows them.
Because of this secondary effect, the Frost Breath
shout is actually more useful than Fire Breath. Again,
the full shout has more than three times the cooldown
of the first word alone.
Iiz (Ice/60) - Slen (Flesh/90) - Nus (Statue/120)
- Frostmere Crypt (The Pale)
- Mount Anthor (Winterhold)
- Saarthar (Winterhold)
Your Thu'um freezes opponents solid. Of the many
shouts available to you, this is the ultimate crowd
control shout. One blast of this shout and a group of
enemies become easy to pick off one-on-one instead of
all at once. Be aware, once you hit an enemy encased
in ice from this power, the ice breaks and they begin
to recover.
Kaan (Kyne/40) - Drem (Peace/50), Ov (Trust/60)
- Ragnvald (The Reach)
- Rannveig's Fast (Whiterun Hold)
- Shroud Hearth Barrow (The Rift)
The voice soothes wild beasts, who lose their desire to
fight. This will demoralize creatures in range and
will be soothed into peacefulness or simply turn and
Krii (Kill/20) - Lun (Leech/30) - Aus (Suffer/40)
- Autumnwatch Tower (The Rift)
- Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary (Falkreath Hold)
- Forsaken Cave (The Pale)
Speak, and let your voice herald doom, as an opponent's
armor and lifeforce are weakened. This shout is great
for use against bosses as it damages an enemy over
Tiid (Time/30) - Klo (Sand/45) - Ul (Eternity/60)
- Hag's End (The Reach)
- Korvanjund (The Pale)
- Labyrinthian (Hjaalmarch)
Your Thu'um shouts time to a standstill, while you
continue to move and strike. There are many uses for
this shout ... see if you can find one that is unique!
Strun (Storm/180) - Bah (Wrath/240) - Qo (Lightning/300)
- Forelhost (The Rift)
- High Gate Ruins (The Pale)
- Skuldafn (Other Realm): The World-Eater's Eyrie
Your shout tears the skies, cries to the clouds, and
awakens the destructive force of a Skyrim lightning
storm. This shout only works outdoors, and is great for
taking down dragons, but beware that it can kill
civilians and followers.
Zul (Voice/5) - Mey (Foul/15) - Gut (Far/30)
- All three words are found at Shearpoint (The Pale)
Your Thu'um is heard, but it's source is unknown,
fooling foes into seeking it out. This shout is perfect
for those who sneak around, as it can easily distract
those in your path.
Fus (Force/15) - Ro (Balance/20) - Dah (Push/45)
- Bleak Falls Barrow (Falkreath Hold)
- High Hrothgar (Whiterun Hold): The Way of the Voice
Your Thu'um translates into raw power, pushing anyone
and anything aside. This power fires a shockwave of
force energy that stuns and pushes enemies, even
sometimes sending them flying off their feet. Be aware,
the full shout's cooldown time is three times longer
than simply using the first word.
Wuld (Whirlwind/20) - Nah (Fury/25) - Kest (Tempest/35)
- Dead Stallion's Respite (Hjaalmarch)
- Volkskygge (Haafingar)
- High Hrothgar (Whiterun Hold): The Way of the Voice
Your Thu'um rushes forward, carrying you with it in a
rush of speed. This power is useful in it's most simple
form for speeding past traps, but it can also be useful
for jumping long distances and climbing mountains.
First and foremost, I'd like to thank the fine folks at
Bethesda for making The Elder Scrolls V: SKYRIM. It's
one of the best games I've played in years, and judging
on my time spent in the game already, it will continue
to be one of my favorites for quite a long time.
Secondly, I'd like to thank both Prima Games for their
wonderful guide and The Elder Scrolls Wikia for their
easily accessible information. Both were instrumental
in putting this guide together quickly.
Third, I'd like to thank GameFAQs for publishing this
guide for other players to use.
And lastly, I'd like to say that I
(Darth VeX/VixenofVenus) do not want this guide
reprinted or published on any other site other than
GameSpot/GameFAQs. I made this guide for the loyal
gamers of that site, and it should remain exclusive to
Thank you all for reading, and enjoy!

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Golf Club Operator Fired Employee Twice for Reporting Discrimination and Filing EEOC Charge, Federal Agency Charges
PHOENIX – A Fountain Hills, Ariz., golf club violated federal law by retaliating against a male employee who reported the sexual harassment of female employees, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to the EEOC's suit against Golf International, Inc., which does business as The Steakhouse at Desert Canyon and Desert Canyon Golf Club, Jeffrey White submitted an internal complaint to Golf International's general manager that included a report that several female employees felt they had been sexually harassed by the head chef. The EEOC said that Golf International fired White the day after it received his complaint.
The EEOC also charged that after White reported this retaliation to the EEOC, Golf International offered to rehire him but conditioned this offer upon his withdrawal of the EEOC charge. White insisted on pursuing the EEOC charge, and Golf International refused to rehire him, the agency said. Golf International later rehired White, but terminated him again several weeks later. The EEOC further charged that Golf International provided negative information on White to other employers.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits retaliation against employees who report discriminatory conduct in the workplace. The EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. Golf International, Inc. d/b/a The Steakhouse at Desert Canyon and Desert Canyon Golf Club, 2:11-cv-00949-DKD) in U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages for White, as well as appropriate injunctive relief to prevent any further discriminatory practices.
"It is particularly important for the EEOC to vigorously enforce the anti-retaliation provisions in our employment discrimination laws," said Mary Jo O'Neill, regional attorney for the EEOC's Phoenix District Office. "The threat of retaliation can prevent employees from raising legitimate concerns with their employer out of fear for their jobs."
EEOC Phoenix District Director Rayford Irvin added, "If employees do not feel comfortable coming forward to report discriminatory acts, the very purpose of the anti-discrimination statutes is eviscerated."
The EEOC's Phoenix District Office has jurisdiction for Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and part of New Mexico (including Albuquerque).
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
