Samsung QUAD pen
A pen that lets you write anything anywhere and then transfer it to your computer has been developed by Samsung. Situated in the nib of the Quad pen is an electronic sensor which records its movements and saves it onto a tiny memory chip in the barrel, meaning that, should inspiration strike whilst you wander lonely as a cloud that floats on high o'er — yeah, you get my drift — you can run to the nearest daffodil and jot down whatever it was you wanted, thus saving your work for posterity on the chip.
Nam Jeong-gyun picks up a glossy black pen and writes in the air as if writing on an invisible whiteboard. The pen has an electronic sensor at the tip, he says, so it can record every movement into a tiny memory chip located inside the streamlined body.
"Let's say that an important idea suddenly hits you, but there is nothing to write on, and you know that you'll lose the idea if you don't record it right away. This pen, allows you to write on any surface, storing everything you write," he told spectators at the graduation exhibition of Samsung Art & Design Institute (SADI) held two weeks ago in Seoul.
The futuristic pen named QUAD was one of 32 design works displayed by the graduating students of the Product Design department of SADI. Samsung Group founded the school in 1995 as an academy of future fashion and graphic designers. The PD department was established in 2005 as the need for designers with an engineer's mindset grew at Samsung Electronics and other manufacturing arms of the nations' largest conglomerate.
Although, the brainy pen created by Nam was just a mock-up, and Nam hopes to one day sell the idea to luxury brands such as Montblanc, given that similar technologies are already in use in some consumer electronics such as the popular Wii video game console made by Japan's Nintendo.

A Long Strange Trip In Killer Shoes
When presenting to large groups, it is imperative that a lady bedeck herself in the proper footwear. Heels not too high, because falling over in front of said large group could expose her naughty bits to strangers. Heels not too low, because said lady would like to create an enviable line of leg for her bored-and-sleeping group.

Tony, why the initial shock of disbelief. His body language originates from his genuine, or sincere enthusiasm. Enthusiasm stems from positive thinking which, in turn is the essence of truth! Indeed you have jumped the gun, so to speak. Magnify your ability to research something before the labels and false acquisitions arise. Thank you

Breastfeeding with Grace: Nursing Tricks for Modest Moms
With your first child it is easy enough. You work around the baby's schedule, planning errands and other outings between nursing times. With each subsequent child, however, nursing at home becomes drastically harder. Suddenly, you find yourself breastfeeding while supervising your older kids at the park, while waiting for school to let out, and while watching those long soccer games.
Add to that the current medical recommendation to breastfeed your baby for at least six months before introducing solid foods, and it becomes even more important to feel comfortable meeting a baby's nutritional needs while outside of the home.
As a pediatric nurse and a mother who has been nursing one child or another for over four years, I've breastfed gracefully and discreetly just about everywhere, even while walking around Walt Disney World. All it takes are the proper accessories.
Be Discreet
Get rid of those cues that just scream, "Mother breastfeeding baby!" These include those silly looking nursing bibs, long pieces of fabric that cover your baby while including a wide peephole to allow mom to check on the proceedings, and nursing blankets, in part because I can't imagine that any baby actually likes to be deprived of air while nursing.
Once, a friend and I stopped to nurse our four-month-olds at a highway rest stop. She threw her winter parka over her children and instantly became an object of curiosity to the other patrons, while I sat in my nursing shirt and fed my baby without a single glance.

Adventures in airline optimisation
It may come as a great shock to some of my reading audience, but air travel—meaning not just the planes, but the complete service—has not yet been perfected. I found in a recent experience that there is certainly room for improvement, especially with respect to human-centric service management.
Let me tell you a true story to illustrate what I mean. I set out a couple of weeks ago to fly from the UK to Australia—a complex journey involving several legs, beginning on a Sunday morning and ending on Monday evening. I should tell you up front that in the end, I got to my destination less than 2 hours behind schedule after good flights. So, for me at least, the story ended well enough, although my luggage took an extra 26 hours to catch up with me. But the day taught me some good service lessons.
Things got off to a rough start when I tried to check in online the day before, only to be told by the airline computer system that "one or more members of my party1 are not able to be checked in online."
Well, despite not being a morning person, at 3:30 a.m. the next day I set out to attend to this in person. At the airport, I discovered a small monitor with departures information. Tucked away in the top corner, it said my flight, originally scheduled for 6:05 a.m., was now scheduled for 11:00 a.m.
It turned out the airline had run into a problem. The plane I was meant to be on had arrived the evening before with a leak of oil from the nose-wheel. This required repair before it could fly, and the repair was not yet completed. But that detail I only found out much later. All I knew at the time was that there were long queues at the desk (a combined bag drop/check-in desk). I joined the queue, and as happens so often with such queues, I waited, while nothing happened, for a very long time.
The airline's perspective
Now, this sort of situation is neither unknown nor unexpected for airlines, so there are predefined processes for the airline to invoke.
First, they flew two engineers from the maintenance team to my airport. The prognosis was for a 5-hour delay while repairs took place.
Obviously, this affected lots of bookings. The airline therefore set out immediately to reroute passengers who had already checked in online, to get them to their destinations with minimum delays. This was done in several ways: by moving bookings onto their own later flights2 or onto other airline's flights, and even by planning for passengers to go by taxis to alternative airports about 2-3 hours' drive away. Many passengers would also need rescheduling/rerouting of their onward flights from the airline's main hub airport after delayed arrival there, and that was initiated too.
The process says that passengers arriving at the airport would be notified of the issue as well as the airline's response to it upon reaching the bag drop/check-in desk, and also via telephone/email. Delayed passengers would also receive vouchers for food/drink when they got their rerouting information.
So far, so good. It might seem to a casual observer that the logistics issues caused by the glitchy plane were all being handled capably.
The passengers' perspective
To the passengers, however, it felt a bit different.
Most of us had gotten out of bed at 3 a.m. or thereabouts3. We expected to drop bags, get through security and sit down with coffee. Instead we got to the airport and joined a long and seemingly motionless bag drop/customer service queue. Most had not noticed the small monitor and had no idea there was an issue.
It took over 30 minutes to get to front of that queue, only to be told a reschedule was needed and to be sent over to the ticket desk on the other side of the concourse. That queue took about 2 hours to get through. The only information on what was happening during all this was feedback from fellow passengers, and as you can imagine, we had a few observations and questions:
We've been standing up for 3 hours and still don't know what's happening. Nobody had spoken to us, except for an airport employee who was friendly but uninformed. (Grumpy and informed might have been more welcome.)
Thanks to the monitor display, most passengers from the 6:05 assumed they were now going on the scheduled 11:10 flight. This ultimately didn't prove to be the case, but was the accepted truth for several hours.
Was the 9 a.m. flight actually full? And if so, were there people on it who would swap with some of us who had more to lose by being delayed, perhaps for a financial inducement that might cost the airline less than rerouting us later?
Why was there no attempt to deal with us as individuals, given that we had individual needs and context? As an example: there was a couple in their 80s booked to fly back to Mongolia. Their son-in-law just wanted someone to understand that they didn't need to go that day, and just wanted to be told they could go back home and have it sorted out the next day—or the next week.
Now, the human psyche (or at least the European version of it) will find some kind of humour in most circumstances, and we found some. For instance, there was a much shorter queue for frequent flier elite members, but this didn't move at all for ages because one man, on reaching the head of the queue, commandeered the airline phone for over 40 minutes. This left the "elite" guys behind him moving even slower than us mortals.
I tweeted about my disappointment with the service level, and got a response asking me to send them a private message. But none of us knew how to do that.
I eventually got a message saying "Our booking team informs the passengers via call or email in case of any schedule changes." Well, that was true; the woman behind me had apparently gotten such an email. Her husband called just as we got to the counter (3 hours later) to say he'd seen the email when he was going to bed in Vancouver and "did she need to know?"
Service management lessons
The real purpose of this story is, of course, to pick out some key service management lessons. There were two key ones for me in this situation:
- Good service management is often less about how well X is done than it is about the fact that Y was not done at all.
- Whatever you think, or even whatever is actually true, customer perception often matters more.
What the airline did, they did very well. What the airline didn't do arose from the fact that the passengers were not really treated as people (let alone a range of individuals with different needs, concerns, and priorities), or at least a range of situations/types.
So here is what I think could have been done to make those passengers more likely to fly with that airline again.
- Get as much relevant information as you can—especially human information.
When people are involved you have to deal with them as people. Of course all the technical stuff has to be done, but as well the people need to be treated as people, and ideally, as individuals. Some might be delighted to be delayed in exchange for compensation; others might absolutely need to get home or to a meeting. For some, even, the whole point of the trip might be destroyed by a delay and they may as well turn round and go home.
At different times over recent years, I have found myself in all three of those categories at different times, so you can't just capture this once and record it on a person's data record. Getting such insight would only have required someone to walk along the queue asking some basic questions. This idea of different needs for different people at different times is something that IT or process designers find hard to cope with.
- Use the available information in better ways.
The woman behind me in the queue illustrates this one well: in addition to the email, they had called her landline and left a message. But what was the point in the airline calling a Vancouver phone number to notify her of the delay, given that their IT systems knew she was in the UK, some 7,000 kilometers away, since she had checked in for her original flight the day before?
Another instance4: if the idea is to make arrangements for someone that involve a 2½ hour taxi journey, and they need to leave by 6:00 a.m. to make that newly arranged flight, then go find them and tell them before 6:00 a.m., not when they eventually get to the front of the queue at 7:00 a.m. (Not sure you really need complicated computer systems for that one!)
This could be seen as a minor application of the ideas behind "Big Data"—in this case, aspirations to medium-sized data might have made a difference.
- Triage is always worth it.
Triage as a concept for making the best use of limited resources to deliver maximum value has been with us for at least 3,000 years. In its most brutal and obvious application, on the battlefield, it is about putting people or situations into three pots:
- Will survive, leave them for now
- Will die anyway, don't waste resources
- Attention now will make a difference between surviving or not
Establishing which passengers fall into which classes, in a scenario such as the airline faced, is critical to creating a truly effective response for those passengers. It quite simply didn't happen. Instead we were dealt with as all-equal records in the system.
(If you want to really succeed in service management, you need to understand that "Business as Usual (BAU)" process-based approaches only work when business is as usual. Rob England's Standard+Case5 approach has highlighted this well.)
- A human perspective will often suggest opportunities to improve.
If you imagine being a delayed passenger, many refinements to the airline's process will occur to you. To someone in that situation, for instance, heaven might be a complimentary tray of tea/coffee/juice and maybe a seat or two. This isn't rocket science, it is empathy, a skill required in effective service management.
One more thought about perception here really illustrates how little things can affect customer perception of how valued they feel. The engineers who fixed the plane flew back on it. It was good to see that degree of faith in their work. But it was just a little galling for those of us 5½ hours delayed, sitting in the back of the plane, to see the airline's engineers flying business class!
- Expand the scope of your analysis.
I think this is a classic example of how suppliers build emergency processes. Everything done was done well. But not everything was done, and what was not done might have been, if only some human relations specialists6 had been involved. That might mean someone getting telephoned at 2 a.m. and told they are on duty—but it would make quite a difference.
And planning of these things needs to be done by people who have experienced these things. Both airlines and ordinary IT departments have access to a vast group of people who have experienced the good and the bad of service and are uniquely placed to help improve it. I know that I would be delighted to work with this airline to create a more holistic approach to the way they handle delay and rerouting management.
The other thing that this story illustrates to me—and a very pertinent ITSM issue it is—is the importance of having service improvement as your focus rather than process improvement. The latter will only make you better at what you already do—but if you need to do new things, it won't help. In fact, it will most likely increase your costs without improving your service.
So, in summary, let me reiterate a simple thing about my experience. In the end I got there on time—albeit via a very different route on different airlines. But I felt that I had been treated—at the beginning at least—like a record in a file rather than a person. And it is the person in me, not the technician, that will choose whether or not I fly with that particular airline again.
¹In retrospect, this was my first little warning about (not) joined-up IT systems here—the airline's computer system knew I was a party of one, not too much human-oriented thought required to just say "you" rather than all that silly "one of your party" stuff.
2Scheduled later, but now leaving earlier than the broken plane. We presume these filled up early in the process and mostly with premium level frequent flyers.
3As I may have mentioned already, I am NOT a morning person! Three a.m. took real effort; I was tempted to treat it as merely staying up late the night before—glad in retrospect I didn't try that.
4Actually the same poor woman, I do hope she got home eventually.
5This could stand more exploration and I hope to write an article on this topic very soon, but you can find out more about it from Rob himself here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0bbjkT1ImQ (Link resides outside of ibm.com).
6In this context, this merely means someone who can actually communicate with people in potentially stressful situations.

A petrified root covered with skeletal imagery sitting on a rose rock base, supports a bronze hand clutching forged branches littered with aged trinkets, treasures, and mementos from life. It's my expression of the tug, the allure, the power, and the eventual futility that exists in identifying with, chasing after, and holding onto anything, be it an item, an idea, or an ideal.

Natural wood, quartz, waxed string

I'm excited to announce a new addition to the "Natural Sculpture Series," a project I continue to work on.
The roots, rocks, sticks and things I collect are shaped by natural forces and have an image or a meaning hidden within them.
The items speak to me, effortlessly showing their true being. I try to do very little to these found objects, highlighting areas that would otherwise be overlooked, maybe just a saw chop or a quick clip with a knife. I feel like I am uncovering their hidden message and renewing their purpose.
Each finished piece relates to how I am feeling or what is going on at the time I find them, so my emotional and mental state influences what I see and create.
For instance:
Aging Root, a piece of driftwood reaching upward atop a glowing base of rose quartz, relates to my walk toward middle age and the inevitable physical transformations of the aging human form.
Eve,a gnarled root atop a sulfur stone base, reflects the ever-changing roles I've played within the context of the world, my family and my relationships. It reflects the loss of innocence within each of those situations at different times throughout my life.
The latest, Mother and Child, mirrors my feelings as a mother of an only child now leaving the nest, both of us starting a new life.
The root cradled the quartz rock as it grew, protecting it from harm even after it was ripped from the earth. The old twine wrapped around both is the connection that will help keep them together over time. The twine and root will disappear, but the stone will survive on its own.
Art opening today
Just finished the front of the gallery. I did a quick chalk mural of the Earth and Mars against black space. It is a resting spot out front, for the Jules Verne style sculpture I made. It's a bronze colored zeppelin hovering above the two planets in space. It will hopefully catch people's eye and draw them in this month and keep the gallery hopping.
Locals at the JPL compound are excited. They have another Mars rover landing this week so the Time and Space Gallery in La Canada,Ca. chose that as their theme for the exhibit this month. The pieces I have here are in line with the MARS theme.
Along with my Time Piece series sitting on the counter in front I have my series, Communication Breakdown; mixed media collage paintings that feel like artifacts, old treasure maps, and lost relics found at the remote desert testing facility area 51.
In these works, I repurposed original JPL blueprints created in the 1960's through the 1980's. I love them for their organic quality.
Architectural hand drafting is now a lost art, having been replaced by technology and the wide spread use of speedy computer-aided design tools in the early 1980's.
As a former draftsperson myself, I was compelled to preserve the handmade lettering and lines of a fellow draftsman.
I chose image detail drawings that displayed the patterns and repeated the forms of the original brass model parts, which I then applied to the surface. My own graphite marks and hand drawn images link repeating, disjointed layers from the "then" to the "now."
It is my attempt to document this lost art form and elevate it out of its perceived obsolescence, or status as a draftsman's rite of passage, and instead revel in its slowness and preserve the human connection between art and design.
Come by if you can. The opening is at The Time and Space Gallery Friday, July 20th 7pm – 10pm

Thoughts from the studio
Today is the first day of the new blog in WordPress. I will share work in progress thoughts and ideas on art and the different ways I make it. I work in many mediums and styles so it may get crazy around here, but I am used to it and so are the people close to me by now. Hope you will be too. Enjoy.

Q. My boyfriend and I have been together nine years, since freshman year of college, and have been friends since middle school. He knows me better than anyone and he can make me laugh like no one else. I have so much fun with him and we're alike in so many ways — all the ones that are important to me (physically active, love dogs, very laid back). We have everything in common. (Yes, maybe a consequence of basically growing up together. I can't imagine who I'd be without him.) But, he doesn't want kids. In fact, he is vehemently against kids (reasons of time, money, relationship stress). We had discussed this in the past but I was almost positive I didn't want kids either — until recently.
I do.
Maybe he'll change his mind, but I feel like I can't really wait around and see. All I can do is go on what he's saying now. It literally makes my heart hurt when I think about him not being around. I've been thinking about this for about a year and I don't think I can hold it in much longer. But it feels awful to even write, never mind saying it out loud. I'd be crying if I wasn't at work. I'm terrified, and I'm not even sure it would be the right decision. I don't even know if I'd regret not having kids (i.e., staying with him). I used to not even want them! And how do you break up with someone you are still in love with?

Canadian govt demands community members fill out a 10-page questionnaire and submit their CV in order to seek permission to comment on oil pipeline
Clever tactic by captured politicians.
"The new rules are undemocratic. They attempt to restrict the public's participation in these hearings and prevent a real dialogue about the environmental impacts of the Line 9 pipeline project," said Adam Scott of Environmental Defence. "Canadians should not have to apply for permission to have their voices heard on projects that carry serious risks to their communities."
Under the new rules, any Ontario resident who lives along the 639-km pipeline route who wants to send in a letter about their concerns must first apply to the NEB for permission to send in a letter. As of today, the public will have just two weeks to fill out a 10-page form which asks for a resume and references."Since when does someone's resume determine if they have the right to be concerned about what's happening in their home community?"

SPOKANE -- Sometimes the best offense is a great defense. In its longest road game of the season, the Spokane Shock traveled to Orlando and defeated the second-ranked Predators 70-58 Saturday night.
Spokane's defense yielded four stops that the Shock's offense cashed in for 21 points and helped it produce its highest point total of the season (70).
QB Kyle Rowley set the tone early on Spokane's first drive with a four-play 37 –yard drive that was capped off by a 13-yard TD reception by WR Shaun Kauleinamoku. On the ensuing drive, Predators' QB Nick Hill fumbled on his fourth play of the game that was recovered by Spokane's DL Jonathan Williams that put the Shock offense back in business.
Rowley capitalized on the opportunity with a six-play 49-yard drive and gave Kauleinamoku his second TD of the night on a 22-yard reception. Kauleinamoku turned in one of his best performances of the season and lead the team with 96 receiving yards on seven receptions, three of them for touchdowns.
After missing last week's game, WR Raul Vijil tied Kauleinamoku for the team lead in receptions (seven) and led the team with five touchdowns. WR's Greg Orton and Emery Sammons combined for nine receptions and 109 receiving yards.
For his part, Rowley completed 72% of his passes (23/32) for 293 yards and eight passing touchdowns. Rowley also added two rushing touchdowns, including Spokane's final score of the game.
The Shock defense applied relentless pressure all night long on Hill that resulted in a season-high four sacks. Micah King led the team with two sacks while LB Beau Bell and DL John Williams each added a sack of their own. Bell also forced two fumbles both of which were recovered by Spokane.
Hill finished the night with 356 all-purpose yards (299 passing and 57 yards rushing), and tied a season low of four passing touchdowns.
Predators WR Josh Bush filled in admirably for leading receiver TT Toliver making his first start of the season by leading Orlando's receiving corps in receptions (11), receiving yards (162) and touchdowns (three).
After Saturday night's victory over Orlando, the AFL's second-ranked team, the Shock will host the top-rated Arizona Rattlers on Saturday night April 30th in Spokane.

5 Health Care Stocks Triggering 'Buys' This Week
Opko Health
Opko Health (OPK) is a small-cap pharmaceutical company that's showing traders constructive price action right now. After rallying hard at the start of December, shares have spent the last few weeks consolidating sideways in a symmetrical triangle pattern. With shares up around 53% in the last three months, this setup points to another rally leg along the way for OPK shareholders.
The symmetrical triangle is a continuation pattern that typically splits rallies, giving stocks a chance to bleed off some overbought momentum before moving higher again. For that reason, traders often think it of as a "half-mast pattern." You want to trade the triangle in the direction of the breakout; in other words, if shares push through the trendline resistance level, then you want to be a buyer. But if they fall through support, we've got a sell signal.
Momentum adds some extra confidence to this trade. 14-day RSI has been able to maintain its uptrend from the start of last fall. Since momentum is a leading indicator of price, that supports another rally leg in OPK.Don't try to predict that, though. Wait for the breakout to happen before you put your money on the line.

2010 Research Grants
The United States Studies Centre awarded research grants totalling $105,000 for 11 projects on a wide range of topics in the humanities and social sciences by academics from nine Australian universities.
The Centre received 86 grant applications with applicants from 28 Australian universities.
Chief Executive of the US Studies Centre Professor Geoffrey Garrett said that the selection committee had been impressed by the breadth of topics in the proposals they received. "The two winning research projects show that researchers across Australia are doing work that will help further the agenda of the US Studies Centre," he said. "I am pleased that Australian academics are increasingly viewing the Centre as a top place to do cutting edge research on the US," Professor Garrett added.
Two of the grant winners, Dr Jennifer Day from the University of Melbourne and Associate Professor Mick Broderick from Murdoch University, spent up to three months at the Centre working on their research. The other grant recipients have worked on their research projects at their home institutions.
Research grants were awarded to:
- Saliha Belmessous (Sydney University) - The hidden history of Native Americans' legal opposition to dispossession
- Michael Broderick (Murdoch University) - Uneasy Allies: Representing Americans as Other in Australian National Cinema
- Jennifer Day (Melbourne University) - Planning, Media, and Local Democracy in Australia and American
- Anika Gauja (Sydney University) - The Organization of Political Parties in the United States: The Shape of Things to Come?
- John Hart (Australian National University) - The Greening of the White House: Environmental Policy-Making and the Presidency
- Daniel Huppatz (Swinburne University) - A Design Poetics: Russel Wright's Manitoga
- Rebecca LaForgia (University of South Australia) - Exploring compliance with the right public participation under United States Bilateral Free Trade Agreements
- Tim Minchin (La Trobe University) - Textile Trouble: The Decline of the US Textile and Apparel Industry, 1965 to the Present
- Siobhan O'Sullivan (Melbourne University) - American Animal Welfare Policy from a Comparative Perspective
- Mina Roces (University of NSW) - The Filipino American Movement 1970-2008
- Michael Ward (Australian National University) - Recidivism, Enforcement and Environmental Compliance
Saliha Belmessous - The hidden history of Native Americans' legal opposition to dispossession
Native American legal resistance to dispossession is commonly understood to be a contemporary phenomenon. This project will show that from the moment European expansion commenced, Native American peoples drafted legal strategies to contest dispossession. Colonization was countered not only by force but by ideas. Native Americans opposed colonizers' claims with legal arguments drawn from their own understanding of a law which applies between peoples: that is, a kind of law of nations which was comparable to that being developed by Europeans. This Native American law of nations was simultaneously rooted in Amerindian cultures while it also drew from European discourse. It was generated precisely from cross-cultural contacts. The depth of Native American legal opposition has great bearing on contemporary rights debates.
Michael Broderick - Uneasy Allies - Representing Americans as Other in Australian National Cinema
This project seeks to critically assess over 200 Australian feature dramas (1911‐2009) that have depicted America and Americans. This taxonomy reflects a significant body of Australian national cinema (one fifth of all features) that has yet to receive any systematic analysis.
UNEASY ALLIES will provide a new understanding of 'Australianness' via the frequent projection of a proximate but alien 'other'-Americans- in order to assess our own national characteristics. The historical affection and antipathy Australians have had for Americans is well documented, but a sustained scholarly examination of this ambivalence in mediated cultural forms has yet to be undertaken.
Jennifer Day - Planning, Media, and Local Democracy in Australia and America
This research responds to two major contemporary debates: how to address the effects of climate change, and what to do about our deteriorating news media. These two issues occurring simultaneously is problematic for cities because many of the efforts to address climate change are urban-planning responses, and in participatory democracies, we rely on a watchdog media to host debate about planning decisions.
The work proposed here will examine the implications of media changes at the urban scale in Australian and American cities - specifically examining whether government policy delivered matches constituent preferences in places where media coverage is deteriorating. It will focus on media coverage of planning responses to climate change, and will have qualitative and quantitative components.
Anika Gauja - The Organization of Political Parties in the United States: The Shape of Things to Come?
This research project aims to further our understanding of the United States in Australia by identifying the key organizational characteristics of political parties in the US from a comparative perspective and to account for their development; to assess the degree to which the practices and structures of political parties in Australia and other established liberal democracies are converging upon an American model; and to evaluate the potential for American democratic innovations such as primaries, campaigning and resource strategies, and fluid membership networks to be adopted by parties outside the US - and the possible organisational and democratic consequences of doing so.
John Hart - The Greening of the White House: Environmental Policy-Making and the Presidency
The project examines the framework of environmental policy advice and decision-making within White House in the context of President Clinton's failed attempt in 1993 to redesign that framework to match his environmental policy commitments.
The aim of the research is to explain why the existing framework has not fulfilled its purpose and why the Clinton attempt at institutional redesign also failed. The study will do so by emphasising the consequences of Congressional involvement in the institutional design of the White House and will attempt to provide a fuller picture of the complex forces and dynamics that shape the structure and functionality of the Executive Office of the President.
Daniel Huppatz - A Design Poetics: Russel Wright's Manitoga
American designer Russel Wright's house, studio and 'forest garden', Manitoga, was the culmination of his innovative ideas about modern lifestyle, as well as the manifestation of a complex issue that designers are still faced with today: how to design with an ecological approach to contemporary living.
Manitoga's important place in modern American culture was formally recognized in 2006 when the entire complex was designated as a National Historic Landmark. My research project will result in the production of a book-length manuscript, A Design Poetics: Russel Wright's Manitoga, which will be the first extended analysis and evaluation of Wright's little-known masterpiece.
Rebecca LaForgia - Exploring compliance with the right public participation under United States Bilateral Free Trade Agreements
The United States has had a policy of linking the legal architecture of bilateral free trade agreements with wider legal norms such as transparency and public participation. These bilateral agreements are seen to express elements of good governance: to date there has not been any research on the actual question of compliance with these governance norms. The overall aim of the research is to conduct an original analysis of the practice and compliance of the Office of the United States Trade Representative with the legal undertaking of public participation. To then reflect upon the United States practice of exporting normative foreign policy objectives, such as public participation, through the legal architecture of US bilateral free trade agreements.
Tim Minchin - Textile Trouble: The Decline of the US Textile and Apparel Industry, 1965 to the Present
This project will provide the first book-length study of the decline of the U.S. textile and apparel industry. Once a central part of the American economy, and for decades the largest employer in the U.S. South, this key industry has lost around 2 million workers since the early 1970s. To date, however, most scholars have overlooked the industry's decline, instead focussing on job losses in the northern "Rustbelt," particularly in steel and autos. This study will correct this balance and will focus particular attention on how workers were affected by job loss, both economically and psychologically. It will also throw light on the broader flight of manufacturing jobs to low-wage labor markets, particularly China.
Siobhan O'Sullivan - American Animal Welfare Policy from a Comparative Perspective
America's global leadership in defining and articulating rights for animals, combined with its apparently weak domestic statutory animal protection instruments, presents an intriguing research puzzle. Using benchmark data already collected for Australia and the UK, this project will compare US animal welfare public policy against other comparable jurisdictions. It will establish where American animal welfare law is comparably strong, and where it is comparably weak. It will explore the effect of America's unique rights orientated political environment on the development of animal welfare legislation, and it will examine the political affect of voluntary non-government animal welfare agreements.
Mina Roces - The Filipino American Movement 1970-2008
This research will be the first history of the Filipino-American Movement from the 1970s. It will analyse the process of becoming Filipino-American by focusing on: (1) the creation of a Filipino-American identity (a process still ongoing today) and (2) civil rights activism such as the fight for housing, bi-lingual education, and the struggle against job discrimination (including the union movement). It will also investigate the alliances built between Filipino-Americans and other minority groups (Mexican-American, African-American, Asian-American and Native American) in their struggle for full citizenship rights in the history of the Civil Rights Movement in the US.
Michael Ward - Recidivism, Enforcement and Environmental Compliance
In both the U.S. and Australia, a small proportion of regulated firms account for the majority of
environmental offenses in a given industry. To improve overall compliance and environmental quality, understanding the incentives and behavior of repeat offenders is crucial. Using U.S. compliance and enforcement records, we will examine three main questions: (1) How do environmental authorities treat repeat offenders relative to non-repeat offenders? (2) What economic factors explain the observed treatment of repeat offenders relative to others? (3) To what extent does shifting enforcement effort towards repeat offenders reduce compliance among infrequent offenders.

Swag Tester: Win an Indiana Jones Mr. Potato Head
We've picked a winner of the Mountain Dew Game Fuel giveaway, but despite repeated begging, he won't claim his prize. John M., check your freaking email so that we can send you a case of bright orange sugar water. You've earned it! If you don't get back to us by Monday, we'll have to pick somebody else.
On to new business. We just got this Indiana Jones Mr. Potato Head into the office. Either LucasArts sent it to Scott Jones to promote Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings or he found his way to the office in the midst of a potato related archeology expedition. I immediately brought it into the "lab" for testing. Here is the sum of my experimentation:
As you can see, Indiana Jones Mr. Potato Head is choke-free fun for ages 2 and up. He comes with a golden potato-head idol and a plastic whip (which is permanently coiled -- boo).
Swag Tester Verdict: Puts the "fun" in "apparently functional."
Do you want Indy Potato Head? We're making it even simpler this time: Just leave a comment in this thread to enter. Your comment should answer the question, "What videogame character would you like to whip, Indy style?" Keep it clean, people.
There are no wrong answers, and the winner will be chosen at random to receive the very Mr. Potato Head I so lovingly admired in the video.
(Side note: Make sure you used a good email address to register for your Crispy comment account, so that we can get in touch with you. If you're not sure, you can always use the email@example.com address to enter. We will only use your email to contact you if you win the giveaway.)
Good luck!

tidbitofnewperspective replied to your photo: SOURCE: I took this picture. This is a picture of…
Looks like hypertrophic scarring. It's common in piercings and all it needs is tea tree oil applied to it twice a day with a cue tip for at least 2 weeks after it's gone. It's always best to go back to the piercer with questions; not a doctor.
Not always true. A piercer is not a doctor and cannot fix and infection for you or give you anti-biotics. If that is not hypertropic scarring, A piercer will be able to do very little except tell you to go to a doctor or dermatologist.
And if it IS hypertrophic scarring, the first thing I'd suggest is to go to the piercer and get those CBRs switch to labret studs of the proper length. Then go from there. Tea tree oil can be very harsh and make things like this worse sometimes.

A report claims that former New York governor Eliot Spitzer and his wife, Silda Wall have filed for divorce.
The Daily News reports the contested divorce comes after lawyers were unable to bring their 26-year marriage to an amicable end.
Lisa Linden, a spokeswoman for Eliot Spitzer told Fox 5 News: "We have no comment on this topic."
The petition was filed as "Anonymous vs Anonymous", according to the Daily News.
It comes almost six years after Spitzer resigned in disgrace as governor after he was caught up in a prostitution scandal.
Spitzer has started a relationship with Lis Smith, the former press aide from his failed run for City Controller. Smith has been working on Mayor de Blasio's transition team.
They were photographed together in Jamaica over the New Year's holiday.

text: Boston drivers urged to 'Use Yah Blinkah' Updated: BOSTON (AP) - Perhaps the reason notoriously aggressive Boston drivers don't use their turn signals is that no one's ever put it in terms they understand.The Massachusetts Department of Transportation on Friday changed that by posting messages on electronic highway signs around the city that read: "Changing Lanes? Use Yah Blinkah.""Blinkah" is how Bostonians pronounce "blinker," otherwise known as a turn signal.The signs are scheduled to stay up through the Mother's Day on Sunday, which state officials say is one of the busiest traffic days of the year.Drivers who fail to use their "blinkah" when changing lanes on a Massachusetts highway are subject to a fine.

Eagles tab Foles as starting quarterback for rest of season
Philadelphia, PA, United States (4E Sports) – Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid has announced that rookie Nick Foles will be the team's starting quarterback for the rest of the season, with veteran Michael Vick still sidelined with concussion.
Defending his decision, Reid said Vick on his way to recovery but he doesn't know when he will be able to practice, adding that the quarterback's health is his No. 1 priority.
"And, No. 2, it's also important to give young players the opportunity to play here the next four games as a starter," Reid said. "Every week, (Foles) has been the replacement guy. Now he's the starter and we'll see how does with that on his plate, see how he handles it. I don't expect much to change there with him."
Reid has already informed Vick regarding the change on the depth chart, saying the quarterback was positive about it.
"He completely understood. He was on board with it," Reid said.
Compared to his outing versus the Carolina Panthers, Foles performed much better in the Eagles' loss to the Dallas Cowboys, completing 22 of 34 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown.
"I think, where we're at with the season, it gives this kid an opportunity to play and finish it up," Reid said. "He's playing well enough that I think he can win football games for us. Where we sit at this position in the season, it's the right thing to do."

Got a question about the 2015 DeMarini CF7 Fastpitch Softball Bat: DXCFS? Ask our team of experts, and they will respond within 24 hours.Ask A Question
My daughter is using a 31" 18oz. DeMarini Bustos bat. Looking to get her this composite bat but not sure what size. She's 8 years old, about 4'5" and about 64 lbs.
Based on her height and weight, we recommend a 30" 2015 DeMarini CF7 Fastpitch Softball Bat (DXCFS). Sizing is preferential though, so since she is used to the 31" length, staying with a 31" model is something to take into consideration as well. Generally, you want to swing the longest bat that you can comfortably and consistently control.
What is the difference between the CF6 -9 model and the CF7 -9 model?
The 2015 DeMarini CF7 Fastpitch Softball Bat features the upgraded D-Fusion handle that eliminates vibration and transfers energy more efficiently on contact. Both bats are made from the same Paradox Composite, however.
Is there anything new about the 2015 DXCFS than last years?
The 2015 DeMarini CF7 (DXCFS) will feature a D-Fusion handle to help eliminate vibration on mishits to the players hands. The 2015 model will also be hotter out of the wrapper than the 2014 model.
Product Description
New for 2015! It's never too early to start crushing the ball! For the younger players that are taking their game seriously, DeMarini introduces their lightest CF7 of the season - the DXCFS. The CF7 series has been among the most popular bats on the softball field over the past several seasons. This year's CF7 is the hottest composite fastpitch bat out of the wrapper that DeMarini has ever produced. That's due to the all new Paradox Composite barrel and D-Fusion handle on this two-piece design. Paradox Composite makes the barrel stronger, while being scientifically shaped to feel softer on impact. This makes for a bigger, hotter, and more responsive sweet spot and consistently more powerful swings! The D-Fusion handle eliminates vibrations and redirects energy back into the barrel creating not only an incredible feel, but more POP! The D-Fusion handle also opens up a better sound on all hits across the barrel. The CF7 features Stacked Double Wall Construction that creates a trampoline effect across the entirety of the barrel for completely optimized performance. At the end of the barrel, the end cap provides optimal barrel compression and maximizes the sweet spot. If you're at the top of your game and demand the absolute best, it's the CF7 or nothing! DeMarini: Born Hardcore! The CF7 is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
