Tuesday, Feb. 10, Wangari Maathai spoke to Southwestern University and the Georgetown community about human rights, government and the environment as part of the 10th annual Roy and Margaret Shilling Lecture Series.
In 1977, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement in Kenya. This organization encourages women's groups to plant trees in order to restore the forests and help the ecosystem.
The Green Belt Movement started after Maathai spoke with women in the rural villages of Kenya. The women of the villages did not have adequate food, wood to produce fire for energy or drinking water.
"This was the same area where, 15 years earlier, I grew up and played in the rivers and forest," Maathai said. "However, at this time, all of the native trees had been cut down and invasive trees were planted in their place. These were the sacred trees that were never cut before. This changed the ecosystem of Kenya, causing soil erosion, and the drying of streams and rivers. The environment was changed in the name of development. They cleared the trees and vegetation to grow coffee and tea and collect timber."
Maathai encouraged the women that lived in the village to plant trees as a solution to the problems.
"The women did not know how to plant trees. They thought that God planted the trees," Maathai said. "But, we were cutting the trees down so fast that God needed help. The women learned to plant trees from foresters and mostly from each other."
In the beginning, the Green Belt Movement planted trees at homes, churches and schools. Today, they are replanting devastated forests. Maathai has helped women plant more than 30 million trees.
Some people feel that these women and the Green Belt Movement are a threat, but the women are seeing the positive results. There is less dust, more water and the water is cleaner.
"Many people are enthusiastic about the trees planted by the women of the Green Belt Movement," Maathai said. "These trees have transformed the landscape. We are extremely proud of the leadership the women have brought to the villages."
In 2004, Maathai won the Nobel Peace Prize for her founding of and continued work with the Green Belt Movement in Kenya.
"The Noble Peace Prize brings attention to issues that affect the world and honor the work for justice and human rights," Maathai said. "For the first time in 2004, the Noble Peace Prize recognized the environmental crisis and its relation to government and human rights,"
Maathai is a leading advocate for canceling the non-repayable debts of poor African countries and was elected to Kenya's parliament in 2002.
"The Green Belt Movement recognizes that we live on a planet with limited resources," Maathai said. "If we fail to properly manage these resources, the struggle to obtain them will cause conflict. A good government will prioritize and use natural resources efficiently and sparingly. A government that does not do so will cause conflict and needs to be changed with a vote. Many people take voting for granted, but voting is the way to hold the government accountable and get a good government."
With this logic, Maathai mobilized a pro-democratic system that encouraged the fight for human rights and a sharing of natural resources.
"I wanted the world to see the connection between good government, conservation and human rights," Maathai said.
Maathai has also initiated an education program that combined civic and environmental activism.
"One main concern is to save the forest," Maathai said. "Africa has three of the world's large forests. If these forests are destroyed, the amount of carbon emissions in the air would lead to catastrophe."
"Don't worry about the planet. You are the problem. The planet will eventually adapt and take care of itself. But can we adapt with it fast enough? We are in danger, not the planet. We are helping the environment to help ourselves, our children and grandchildren," Maathai said.
After Maathai's presentation, Jake Shrum, President of Southwestern University, signed the American College and University President Climate Commitment. The document commits the campus to set a date to become carbon neutral. On Tuesday, Southwestern became the second university in Texas to have signed the President Climate Commitment and the Talloires Declaration.
"In regards to the environmental crisis, I thought that I needed to walk quickly, but now I know I need to run. The best thing to do is study, work hard, inform yourself, learn as much as you can, and be involved," Maathai said.
Maathai's presentation impressed many students.
"I was very glad to hear her talk about the urgency of the task we have to combat global warming, an issue that has been on people's minds for a long time," said sophomore Margaret Durham. "I was glad to hear her talk about it in a fresh, new way."
"I hope to meet many other women like her who have so much passion for the causes that help the earth the most: the protection of the earth and its people," said sophomore and Shilling Lecture panelist Natalie Thaddeus.

Because of my football duties, I couldn't make the trip to Alaska, but here are some thoughts on Arizona State's 67-58 loss to St. John's in Saturday's Great Alaska Shootout final ...
ASU blew this one. The Sun Devils (3-2) couldn't handle St. John's full-court pressure, committing 11 second-half turnovers in failing to win its first tournament title (of any kind) since 1994. After trailing by 10 at the half, St. John's outscored ASU 47-28 over the final 20 minutes. The Red Storm (4-1) turned turnovers into easy opportunities, which led to 64-percent shooting in the second half. Ty Abbott hit six 3-pointers and scored a season-high 22 points for ASU. Trent Lockett added 10 points and seven rebounds. Jamelle McMillan had seven assists and one turnover. Justin Brownlee led 20 St. John's with 20 points.
The Sun Devils might have played their best 20 minutes of the season in the first half. They recorded assists on their first nine field goal and hit 5 of 13 from 3-point range. Defensively, ASU frustrated St. John's into 26-percent shooting. The Red Storm also missed all seven of their 3-point attempts, but the second half was a different story. St. John's increased its intensity and extended its defense. ASU wasn't ready for either.
ASU's 10-point halftime lead evaporated in less than seven minutes. Showing resilience, the Sun Devils built back a 49-42 lead with 6:58 left. St. John's guard Dwight Hardy then hit a 3. Ty Abbott answered with a jumper, and that's when ASU, leading 51-45, lost control, going from six up to two down in 32 seconds. Here's how it happened:
-ASU center Jordan Bachynski fouled Paris Horne, leading to two fouls shots. Guard Paris Horne hit the first but missed the second. Bachynski slipped, missing the blockout and Lockett fouled Malik Boothe as the ball went out of bounds. ASU leads, 51-46.
-Boothe hit the first foul shot, but missed the second. Bachynski again missed the block out, allowing Horne an easy putback. ASU leads, 51-49.
*Rihards Kuksiks took the ball out of bounds and threw it away against St. John's full-court pressure. Malik Stith got a steal and lay-up. Tied, 51-51.
*ASU broke St. John's pressure, but in the half court, Stith stripped ASU backup point guard Keala King and converted the layup, giving St. John's a 53-31 lead.
Overall, that was a disastrous 32 seconds. From there, the Red Storm closed out ASU with a 14-7 spurt.
"We went small,'' St. John's forward Justin Brownlee told reporters. "We had a lot of foot speed on the court."
*St. John's scored 47 points in the second half, the most points an ASU opponent has scored in a half since Stanford scored 48 in the second half of ASU's 88-70 win Jan. 30, 2010.
*It was nice to see Ty Abbott bounce back. After missing the Shootout's first game because of a deep knee bruise, Abbott hit 6 of 12 from 3-point range, scoring 22 points to lead ASU. After the game, Abbott became ill at the airport. Paramedics took him to a nearby hospital where the senior guard was treated for dehydration. ASU coach Herb Sendek and Dedrique Taylor, along with the team doctor, stayed behind with Abbott as the team flew back. Abbott later was released.
*Sophomore Trent Lockett and senior Jamelle McMillan made the Shootout's All-Tournament Team. Former ASU forward Taylor Rohde, now starting for Alaska-Anchorage, also was honored. St. John's Justin Brownlee was the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.
*ASU found another big man. Jordan Bachynski didn't play in ASU's first three games, but he showed promise against Weber State and St. John's. Against the Red Storm, the 7-foot-2 freshman collected seven points and four rebounds in 19 minutes. He had some rebounding and defensive issues, but that's probably expected from someone playing for the first time in two years.
*Sophomore Carrick Felix had a forgettable stretch early in the second half. He grabbed a defensive rebound in the lane and took off down the court, never slowing. By the time he crossed halfcourt, he was in the middle of all five St. John's players. One of them tipped the ball away from behind, resulting in a turnover. As Felix raced back on defense St. John's forward Dwayne Polee attempted a lay-up from the baseline. Felix rushed through the lane and blocked the shot, an obvious goal-tend. A possession later, Felix, playing on the bottom of ASU's zone, had a defensive lapse that led to a St. John's basket just before the shotclock expired.
*Freshman Keala King continues to contribute in several areas, but he needs to improve his foul shooting. Because of his aggressive nature, King has shot 15 free throws, second most on the team. Problem is, he's made only six for 40 percent.
*Ball protection, obviously, was an issue all over the court. Several times in the second half, St. John's simply stripped ASU players. St. John's scored 19 points off ASU turnovers, 16 coming in the second half. "The guys just took the ball right away from us," Sendek told reporters. "We needed to make better decisions in some cases."
*St. John's held a 24-9 edge in bench points.
Assistant coach Lamont Smith talked with KTAR's Doug Franz and Brad Nahra after the game.
What was Herb Sendek's message to the team?
"It was a tale of two halves. If you look at the first half, we did a great job defensively. Held them to 25-percent shooting. The second half, they shot 64 percent and 45 percent from 3, so Coach's message was we got to put together two halves of basketball. Down the stretch we didn't take care of the ball."
How much of St. John's second-half shooting actually started with offensive breakdowns?
"I think we gave them quite a few 1-on-0, 2-on-0 (breaks) from turnovers. And I also thought we sent them to the foul line a lot. They went to the foul line and got some freebies. We just got to get better defensively. Hopefully, our young guys can get on the same page defensively, and really, you always have to take care of the basketball."
Given the play of freshman Jordan Bachynski, do you leave here with three centers?
"Coming into camp, you'd say you'd give the nod to Ruslan (Pateev) because he's a (sophomore), but how things have unfolded I really think those guys are competing for time. They're going to go out each and every day and earn it in practice and hopefully all three of them will turn out to be excellent players."
What positives do take from this experience?
"Take away this second half, I thought we got better defensively. We're starting to find out a lot more about our basketball team. Guys we can use. Obviously, Jordan was a plus coming off the bench for us. Kyle Cain has emerged and is going to be a good player. We just got to get more guys all on the same page. But I think this tournament was good for us. We come all the way to Alaska for three or four days and get to bond and spend a lot of time together. Hopefully, we can build on this. Obviously, looking forward on the schedule, we have some tough games coming up."

Since the release of Clevo's P570WM, end-users have become accustomed to receiving desktop-grade performance in a mobile platform.

The AVADirect P375SM Gaming Notebook is uniquely high-end for its exceptional capabilities and AVADirect is the first to unleash it within the US.

The most exciting addition is support for the latest NVIDIA / ATI mobile graphics cards solutions. The NVIDIA 700M graphics card options are available for the most demanding games, and the ATI Radeon 8000 series graphics solutions for those on a budget (SLI/Crossfire options available). Keeping up with Clevo's trend, by offering the most storage options available, the Clevo P375SM includes a total of three 2.5" changeable bays (2x for standard storage, 1x for an optical drive with options to swap for an additional 2.5" storage drive). The integrated speakers are powered by Onkyo, and have the ability to power an external 7.1 surround sound speaker system. Implemented due to popular demand, backlight keyboard, touchpad, and front bezel features are prominently displayed while the notebook is powered, presenting no challenge for the immersed gamer and their nightly gaming binges. Along with the list of improvements, the Clevo P375SM offers improved, modern port options:
As technology advances, so does the demand for greater hardware. The AVADirect Clevo P375SM Gaming Notebook is a direct example of the way in which mobile solutions must adapt to hold and win the interest of the growing enthusiast population. While AVADirect continues to evolve, so must its offerings. The AVADirect Clevo P375SM is designed for the gamer on the go, with little to no access to an outlet; the battery life will easily speak for itself.

Is a Fetus a Person?
The debate over whether abortion should be considered as murder often focuses on the question of whether the fetus is a person or not.
Here the issue of culture and religion comes in.
But what does it take to identify a fetus as a person? There are thinkers today with the belief that a fetus can be called a human being, but should not be called a person because it takes more to be a person than just having genetic material.
Philosopher Mary Ann Warren argues that in order to be considered a person, a being should have the following characteristics:
1. A developed capacity for reasoning.
2. Self awareness
3.Consciousness and ability to feel pain
4. Self motivated activity
5. Capacity to comminicate messages of an indefinite variety of types.
It would seem as if even new born babies may not be considered as persons according to the aforementioned school of thought.
No doubt infanticide has always got widespread condemnation, but abortion has always been a controversial issue.
So, what do you think? Is a fetus a person?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 8 2012: There are life threatening instances where both or one or the other could lose their lives but ultimately it's up to the woman as if she is set upon such a course then she will try it else where,maybe people need to see an abortion that way they can truly understand where they stand on the issue.
Linda Taylor 50+
Oct 9 2012: The first procedure i saw was 20 years ago and it wasn't from the other side of a computer screen.8 year old kids? that's sad but not unheard of,the youngest i have come across was 13 and she was so scared to tell her dad that when she did it was too late to offer her an alternative but it turned out really good for all of them, in this one case.
Oct 9 2012: Linda, it's good to know that you show 'caring' to some pregnant 8 year old girls. I'm not being satirical at all yet...
But what I don't get is....How can you be sympathized with those girls while arguing that children are also don't have rights just like fetuses, thus, their lives can't be prioritized over adults'.
According to your argument against my former comments below, children are also not persons.
Is this caring same as the caring for animals?
Or in this case, are you truly caring about those girl as PERSONS?
I really want to know.
What is the basis of your logic..?
Abortion should be allowed for that kind of extreme cases.
You said, "Who gets to decide what an extreme case is?"
Now you unconscioudly give me an example.
At least intuitively, you do know what is an extreme case judging by your reply here.
Oct 9 2012: No I do not know what an extreme case is. How in the world am I supposed to know what you mean? Magic? You have outlined no parameters whatsoever but obviously you have them stored in you head somewhere. You seem to think this is some common knowledge that everyone agrees on or something. It is not. I say an extreme case is what I say it is. You say it is what you say it is. There is no common agreement.
In the US children are not persons and are not granted rights under the constitution.
Pregnant minors are dealt with differently in each state. Each state outlines rights and procedures that the minor needs to follow. It is not a constitutional issue it is a state issue so all are a little different based on the values and moraes of each state. Or at least the state legislators.
Pregnant minor rights are similar to emancipated minor rights but there are some differences.
Typically a minor can be emancipated as young as 14 to 16. As minors much younger can get pregnant, there are special circumstances surrounding the pregnant minor definition.
But unless a child falls under the pregnant minor or the emancipated minor rulings in each state, they do not have any rights due to this thing called disability of nonage.
An emancipated minor means they have legally removed the disability of nonage. But that does not mean that the minor has all the rights an adult does. For instance, they still cannot drink alcohol until they reach legal age.
That disability is removed once a child reaches the age of 21 and is considered a person under the US constitution. I do not know how to be any clearer. Children are not persons and have no rights. No one is going to grant a 10 year old the right to bear arms or a 9 year old the right to vote.

Bob Knight did some crazy things during his Hall of Fame career as a college basketball coach, but even he had limits. He may have tapped a player under the chin and thrown an occasional chair, but I can never remember him assaulting a player to the extent that John O'Connor assaulted Matt Kravchuk of his Holy Family University men's basketball team.
Kravchuk, a sophomore, was participating in an intense 1-on-1 rebounding drill in late January when O'Connor lost his cool and shoved him over, causing him to hurt his wrist and drawing blood from his mouth. O'Connor has been suspended pending the outcome of an investigation, but after seeing Fox 29 in Philly's exclusive footage of the incident it would be tough to imagine the coach not getting in serious trouble with the university and the law.

The Motley Fool speaks
- Friday, April 02, 1999
Meet David Gardner who, with his brother Tom, founded The Motley Fool in 1994. "The Fool" has now become one of the nation's leading financial websites. This American investment legend talked to us about his faith, Values-based Investing, and why you should "buy what you are."
Would you say that you have a faith in God?
Yeah, I certainly believe in God. And I am Christian. I report for duty at a local Presbyterian Church in Alexandria, Virginia most Sundays, at least when in town.
Does this belief affect the way you run your business? That is, your business ethics, your corporate culture at the Motley Fool?
Some of the Motley Fool and what you see of our company is rooted in that belief, although my beliefs are not expected to be shared by everyone else in the company. Our business is run by numerous people todaywhich is a good thingand I have my perspective. I'm able to intermingle mine with other perspectives, sometimes the diverse perspectives of other people.
Does this belief affect your investment advice or decisions?
My beliefs certainly do. I guess I'm speaking of my beliefs on a wider range than just the Christian portion of my beliefs... Would I invest in something that I didn't believe in? No, I wouldn't. I think that it's important to tie the investing decisions that you make with who you are and what you believe.
Should we be concerned with people who are hurt by the products of a company we hold ownership in?
I think that we should, I think that's fair to say. There's a chapter in our new paperback, You Have More Than You Think called, "Buy What You Are." It basically lays out our approach to what some people call Socially Responsible Investing. Your investments should be a reflection of what you arewhat you do, how you spend your time, what you think. I like to think that I wouldn't be supporting a company that is actually harming people. If your investing is an extension of who you are, and you're a moral personsomebody concerned with others well beingthen you should not be investing in a company that is actively harming others.
There are a lot of gray areas there. A tough one for me, for example, is a gun company. The companies manufacturing guns are not hoping that their products will be used to kill other people. But the reality is that of course, in some cases they are. But for me, I've never invested in a gun company simply because I have no interest in guns. So it makes the decision very easy for me. Guns are not a natural extension of who and what I am.
What are your thoughts on the theory that divestment of offensive companies will lower your rate of return?
I think that as an investor you should be looking to maximize your return. But to me, that does not imply that the only way to maximize your returns is to invest in things that you don't believe in because for some reason those things will do better. Businesses are just a reflection of people's needs and desires. You can't run a business if you're not providing something that is a solution in one way or another for a large number of people.
I think that you can do extremely well investing in just those good companies. From my point of view, I don't really need to invest in a tobacco company or a casino company in order to do very well.
Just from a pragmatic standpoint, there are over 9000 public companies on the US Stock exchange. That's about 8975 more than we'll ever need to consider. So I think that an investor can afford to be very selective.
And you know one thing to consider. If you own an index fund, you are going to be invested in things that you don't like or don't believe in. If you own an S&P 500 Index Fund you will own Philip Morris, for example. That's something people should be aware of. In most mutual funds, you really have no idea what they hold. That's another reason why we believe very strongly in investing directly in stocks - so that you can follow the companies, and understand exactly what you are invested in.
Why don't more people consider ethical principles in their investment decisions?
Well first of all, I don't think that many people consider their investment decisions. So, you know [laughs]. When you start from there...
But for those that do consider investmentsthey're just trying to figure out what does well... Then there are those who think about it a little bit more deeply, [and ask themselves] whether they would want to own a company if it seems borderline.
Can you think of issues facing Christian investors today outside of the fact that we should seek to educate and dialogue with each other on how to choose investments that reflect ourselves, and our beliefs?
Yeah, I think that's well put. That would have been a good response for me to make. Basically, I believe that people should come to beliefs, and should understand why they have those beliefs. They should be able to explain those, defend those, and keep an open mind in case some better idea comes along.

"You want to do or you've done?"
Reviewed by Emmanuel Lund / May 24, 2012
Schemer is a social To-Do and wishes list
Schemer is an original social network that actually complements G+ and other "catch-all" social networks. The idea is as simple as original: post your To-Do or wishes list (for example: parachuting over Grand Canyon) and see what other people post. You can add to your scheme list To-Do posted by others. This way, you'll get some ideas of things you would like to do someday.
You can filter schemes by location (nearby, anywhere, staying home...). What's more, you can filter by "You want to do", "You've done", "From other people". Likewise, after adding a scheme, you can do it public or private. You can also post your schemes by using any sharing resources installed in your Android device. This is basically what "Schemer" by Google Inc. is.
It's set in a minimalistic layout, Google's style. Too sober, from my point of view. There's a feeling around about this is an experimental social network. Not too many users so far.
In conclusion, add more schemes to get smarter recommendations, inspire people in your G+ circles, and find stuff to do with them.
How does it work? It's all about the schemes! A scheme is anything you might want to do - from taking a mixology course to surfing sand dunes.
Whatever schemes strike your fancy, collect them on Schemer and then take them with you using our mobile app. Now you'll always have a scheme up your sleeve, whether you're out and about or staying home. Schemer will even suggest the perfect scheme for the moment, for example watching a movie if it's a rainy day, or checking out a new brunch spot on a weekend morning.
Schemer uses your Google+ account to show schemes that the people in your circles have done. Even better, you can use Schemer to find new stuff to do with your friends. Pick a scheme and rally your crew to go do it!

Trading for under book value despite having cleaned up its act. Even if interest rates don't go up, reversion to the mean as to book value will happen before long. If interest rates do go up, so will the value of its float.
Huge potential for dividend growth. Payout ratio of just 2%. In glory days, dividend reached over $1/quarter.
I picked this stock because it has a Price/Book ratio of less than 1, sales above 25B$ and EBIT larger than 10B$.
Based on the rec by Kirk Spano.
Currently trading below book and below comparables, AIG has been forsaken by investors for their previous risk-taking and near-miss with death. Of course, since then, they've repaid the bailout (with interest, lots of it), rebuilt their books to adhere to Basel III, all by re-focusing on their core competencies. They are poised for multi-year growth, and sooner or later, they will redeem themselves and trade at reasonable multiples.
still undervalued, watch for dividends to increase.
Investor sentiment hasn't kept up with the numbers the new AIG has posted. AIG may require a few more quarters of good results before investors start buying again, but I'll jump in now.
Low P/E, plan to buy back shares - at a discount considering the P/E. Not a stock I would buy for other reasons, but would probably make money on it.
Recovering from its fall. Price/Tangible Book = 0.71.
insurance need grows with population
I hate to thumbs up these crooks but AIG is undervalued and probably an amazing long term investment.
Still trades at a discount to book value according to Yahoo Finance. The financial sector is going to continue to do well.
Margins are getting better and as interest rates rise, annuity and fixed income business will get better.
Long way to go to get to pre crisis levels
Big time cash flow
insurance is an amazing business.
with interest rates headed upwards over the long term, insurance companies will benefit hugely through this.
AIG has changed a lot since before the 2008 crash.
they are starting to write better insurance, with combined ratios coming down his will also help them hugely increase earnings.
possibly selling plane business in the coming weeks for 5b? that will help a lot getting rid of that. along with it most of AIG's debt will be gone. could possibly lead to lower interest expense?? if BVPS continues to increase and the stock price continues to lag it, it could always be assumed to be pretty damn cheap, trading at .75 or so.
over the next five years and if interest rates rise and AIG itself continues to do well you could possibly see this trade at closer to 1.2xBV possibly? I dont really know, but all I know is this is a very cheap company that is doing pretty darn good.
Street Authority says stock buyback below book value, dividend.

The recipe reviewed here appears on Page 12 of today's Dash, a monthly food magazine inserted in The Journal Gazette.
Marshmallow-Jam Sandwiches
Difficulty: Intermediate
Cook time: 20 minutes
Admittedly, it's been a while since I've made traditional sugar cookies. It's my tendency to pick a more flavorful drop cookie instead of rolled and iced.
This recipe reminded me why. Though not overly difficult to prepare, I found the dough hard to work with. It was crumbly and frustrating to roll, taking a good five minutes to just become workable. After I could roll it, the dough became sticky and the rolling pin needed a lot of powdered sugar to keep going.
The extra sugar might have contributed to the sweet taste of the cookies. Combined with the marshmallow crème and jam, the decadent cookies might be too much for some.
Try this: To add a holiday flair, use a red jam.

Large Deviations Approach to Bayesian Nonparametric Consistency: the Case of Polya Urn Sampling
AbstractThe Bayesian Sanov Theorem (BST) identifies, under both correct and incorrect specification of infinite dimensional model, the points of concentration of the posterior measure. Utilizing this insight in the context of Polya urn sampling, Bayesian nonparametric consistency is established. Polya BST is also used to provide an extension of Maximum Non-parametric Likelihood and Empirical Likelihood methods to the Polya case.

Measuring the Business Value of Information Technology: Practical Strategies for IT and Business Managers
by David Sward
List price: $49.95
Softpro Price:
In today's fast moving competitive business environment, companies increasingly demand that IT investments demonstrate business value through measurable results. David Sward directly addresses this challenge in his book
Measuring the Business Value of Information Technology
Intended for IT professionals and consultants as well as business managers, this book covers one of the most important strategies any company can establish to help manage IT in the coming years. Namely, the creation of an IT Business Value Program to execute systematic customer focused approaches to determine the business value for any IT investment an organization may make.
Expanding on concepts offered in Martin Curley's Managing IT for Business Value, and linking business value programs with CMF frameworks, Sward explains how business value programs are established; measured; maintained; and governed; providing a blueprint for evaluating IT investments and equipping the reader with the tools required for success.
Measuring the Business Value of Information Technology
is a rich collection of methodology, processes, metrics, supported with examples from IT @ Intel and other IT organizations.
Based on financial concepts and drawing on his background as a Human Factors Engineer, Sward makes the case that the process of establishing and running a business value program can ultimately create a new mindset for IT professionals. While Sward recognizes this will not happen overnight, he believes it serves to instill a belief that an organization can and will create a competitive advantage and increase shareholder value not by just deploying information technology, but by deploying the right information technology by linking IT to corporate objectives and focusing all efforts on the requirements of the end user.
David Sward is a Senior User Experience Researcher at Intel Corporation, driving development and adoption of human-centered approaches to the design of new business solutions. David has established and managed cross-disciplinary groups that apply human-centered principles to the design and development of products and services. He helped develop and manage the IT Business Value Program within Intel's IT organization. David has worked in the field of Human Factors Engineering since 1991 and is an Adjunct Faculty member in the Applied Psychology program at Arizona State University Polytechnic; teaching classes in Human Factors Engineering and Human-Computer Interaction. David Sward has a Bachelors of Science from Colorado State University and a Masters in Cognitive Psychology from New Mexico State University.

NJ Professional Roof Cleaning
Fill Out the Safe Form →
NJ State License #13VH06353700
Professional Roof Soft Washing For New Jersey Homes and Businesses
ROOF CLEANING IS NOT A "PRESSURE WASHING" JOB! We do not use pressure washers to clean roofs. There is no aggressive scrubbing or power washing involved in cleaning a roof. We strictly follow all roof manufacturers cleaning instructions and use the recommended detergents approved by Timberline™ GAF. Our detergents are safe, biodegradable and effective. We are an Angie's List company with an A+ Grade. We are a Licensed NJ State Home Improvement Contractor. We are insured with workers compensation for every employee and general liability insured. Roof cleaning can be dangerous. Cover your bases and always verify your dealing with a legitimate company. Don't just take "Yes" for an answer. Always ask to see general liability, workers compensation, and NJ State Home Improvement license #.
Roof Cleaning: What's Eating Your Roof?
Thompson Roof Cleaning and Power Washing LLC is located in Woodbridge NJ. We have 20 years worth of exterior cleaning experience for central and northern NJ. We will provide all of our roof cleaning knowledge to help you in your project. Your roof is most likely the most expensive part of your house. Find comfort in hiring a professional roof cleaner that specializes in this delicate process. Black stains, algae, moss and lichen can easily be cleaned from your roof without using a pressure washer. We use a proprietary foaming detergent that is approved by all major roof shingle manufacturers. We can provide a quote over the phone for most cleaning projects. Pricing starts at $399 and up for roof cleaning and $299 and up for siding soft-wash.
Please don't ever let anyone pressure wash your roof. The pressure of the water can cause unnecessary wear and tear on the shingles leading to premature replacement of your roof, not to mention jeopardizing the warranty on your roof shingle! And power washing doesn't even solve the problem. Black stains, moss, lichen and algae all develop a root system into the shingle. If you don't eliminate the problem at the root level than your relief will be temporary. That is why power washing or plant friendly products do not work. You need to have a detergent with the proper ph that can dissolve the black staining and kill the moss and lichen. Black staining on a roof is actually a cyanobacteria called Gleocapsa Magma. Our approach to cleaning a roofing shingle is comparable to treating a weed in a sidewalk. A good weed killer goes a long way to permanently eliminate the problem. We are so confident your roof will remain clean we offer a 5 Year Spot-Free Warranty with every full roof treatment.
Be the Envy of Your Neighbors! Every Full Roof Treatment is Backed by Our 5 Year Spot-Free Warranty!
That is correct. Each full roof treatment is covered for 5 years against all organic staining such as mold, algae and moss. We can apply a safe biodegradable detergent and treat the stain at the root to eliminate the problem completely. We use small 12 volts pumps that deliver the detergent to the roofing shingle. The pressure is less than what comes from an average garden hose (45 psi). We try to avoid walking on the roof if possible. Cedar and slate roofs are never walked on. Asphalt shingle can be walked if it's safe. Check out this roof cleaning article written by Angie Hicks, owner of Angie's List. Roof Cleaning Article.
Our detergent is derived from salt. That's how it starts and that's how it ends. There is no possibility of our detergent having an adverse effect to the shingle. Therefore we do not rinse the applied detergent. The first rain will be the first complete rinsing of the roof. At the time of the first rain what will rinse from the roof will be a soapy saltwater with dead and dissolved bacteria and algae. When applied properly this detergent will have no effect on any surrounding landscape.
Our product contains a small amount of bleach to give the proper ph and sterilize the roof. "Bleach" and "sodium hypochlorite" have the same meaning. The local municipalities buy large quantities of sodium hypochlorite to use at the water treatment plants to sterilize our drinking water. It is also the same product used in swimming pools. Many call it "pool shock". It's all sodium hypochlorite. The strengths may vary.
Immediately after treatment any black staining that was on the roof will have dissolved. Much of it will eventually be washed down the gutter system. It will have no adverse effect on surrounding landscape. Moss and lichens do not come off right away. We are not scrubbing or power washing the roof. We are applying a treatment that kills moss and lichen. It will dry out and decompose. These 2 growths develop a root system into the roofing shingle. It's wise not to forcibly remove moss and lichen. Scrubbing or pressure washing the moss will give you instant results at the expense of releasing a lot of the roofing granules. Our treatment will kill moss and lichen within 5 minutes of treatment. It will die, dry out, decompose and wash away little by little with rain. It will not clog the gutters. It just doesn't come down that fast.
We never pressure clean a roof and we recommend that you don't ever let anyone pressure wash your roof! Look at the picture below and see how our foaming action starts working immediately on black roof stains. These stains are a form of roof eating algae. The food source is the limestone filler in the roofing shingle.
Our Soft-Wash for roofs and moss removal is the safest method to clean roofing shingles. But don't just take our word. Check out our Essex County video for a sneak at some of our happy customers!
Soft-Wash | New Technology Exterior Cleaning
This soft-wash process can be used on all surfaces including stucco, vinyl, cedar, and even painted surfaces. Our pumps and machines are all calibrated to deliver high volumes of water at low-pressure. We have the right cleaning products to counter mold, dirt, grime, bird droppings, egg, black gutter stripes, and more. Every surface is pretreated to permanently kill mold before any soft washing or rinsing begins. This process of pretreat fully sterilizes the area and allows it to stay clean 4-6 times longer than traditional high pressure washing.
NJ Soft-Wash Video
Roofs with moss, algae, mold, lichen, and black stains will retain more moisture and cannot reflect the sunlight. As a result, this creates higher temperatures in your attic increasing cooling costs in the summer. Additionally, these living organisms are literally eating away at your roof. We consider these type of problems to be "pest control" issues and we treat them accordingly. Since we do not pressure wash roofs the desired results are not always instant. Moss can develop a root system into the shingle, just like a plant. Some moss may remove easily, but some may be firmly attached. If the moss is pulled off, the roofing granules may always remove with the moss and leave scars on the shingle. After our proprietary disinfecting detergent is applied to the moss it will die off immediately. It will decompose and the root system will release on its own. Then Mother Nature takes over and the moss will come off with each rain. The average time is 60-90 days before all of the moss is removed, depending on temperatures and how much rain is applied. Roof moss removal in New Jersey is partially responsible for many unnecessary roof replacements.
Slate Roof Cleaning
Slate roof are never walked. We treat all slate roofs from the gutter line to prevent any loose tiles from dislodging. Black staining on a slate roof dissolves instantly and is then washed away at the first rain. Any solid items like moss or lichens will decompose and wash away over time, usually within 90 days of treatment. If you're looking for instant gratification, a non-pressure treatment may not be for you. Our method is the least aggressive way to clean a slate roof. The lesser the aggression of the cleaning method, the slower the process. With a more aggressive cleaning like scrubbing or pressure washing you can achieve more instantaneous results, but be prepared to dig a little deeper for the cost. Aggressive methods are dangerous and require more intense physical labor.
Cedar Roofs
Cedar roofs are in a class of their own. A cedar roof is designed to last 40-50 years. Mold and algae can soften cedar and cause premature decay. Cleaning a cedar roof really pays in the long run. Though certain after-market stains and cedar roof sealers look nice, they are not mandatory. Applying stains and sealers on cedar shingles can actually trap moisture. Cedar roofs are designed to breathe freely. When a cedar shingle start to fester mold, moss, and/or lichen the shingle will start to retain moisture. This extra moisture retention will allow the mold and moss to grow exponentially faster, This is the reason why roof growth can explode within a 2 year period. You may see signs of it at one point then find a full blown epidemic by the next season.
Cedar roofs are very gratifying to clean. Results are instant and dramatic. The only drawback is that cedar roofs can not be navigated. You cannot walk on a cedar roof.
Asphalt Shingle Roofs
Never should roof shingles be power washed. Water pressure can dislodge large amounts of roofing granules and shorten the life of the roof. Water alone will not kill the organisms that cause roof stains. The manufacturer suggests chemically cleaning asphalt shingles. Maybe you've noticed those tiny little particles of grit in your gutters. Those are particles that may have washed after a hard rain. So, just imagine what would happen if you let someone pressure wash your roof! We at Thompson Roof Cleaning & Powerwashing follow strict guidelines for all roof cleaning procedures.
Thompson Roof Cleaning Procedure – Manufacturer Approved!
Our treatment of a roof includes the use a foaming anti-microbial roof cleaning detergent which contains both an algaecide and fungicide. Application of the foam uses a pressure not greater than 65 psi. This is the equivalent to the pressure of most garden hoses. We guarantee a 100% kill ratio of roof growths including moss, algae, mold and gleocapsa magma (this is the strand that creates those ugly black stains on asphalt roofing shingles).
When comparing the expense of premature roof replacement along with the increased electricity bills to the cost of treating your roof, you will quickly see instead of it costing you to treat your roof, you're actually GETTING PAID TO TREAT YOUR ROOF!
We make every effort possible to not step on your roof. Every possible attempt is made to treat and clean all roofs from the gutter line so as not to cause any damage to your roof.
We have one person who works on the ground on every job is there to keep your landscaping and surrounding areas thoroughly watered to ensure all areas within the vicinity are unaffected should any overspray occur. Any runoff from the gutters is bagged.
All of the cleaning products that we use are considered to be quickly biodegradable and harmless after the roof has dried.
We are a fully licensed and insurance company and welcome any requests for proof of coverage for both our liability insurance as well as our workers compensation insurance.
We take our work seriously and each job, big or small, is treated with the same professional service and respect. We will explain our recommendations and what we see as the most effective and affordable solution for the customer. We also send out our Customer Care Rep to examine every job and make sure it has been completed to your satisfaction.
We are proud to include our 5 Year Spot Free Warranty with each roof cleaning job. This warranty is standard and is fully explained on your invoice.
We have been professionally cleaning roofs and powerwashing homes and businesses throughout the state of New Jersey since 1996. Exterior house washing is our business and you can rest assured knowing that we'll be here year after year should you need us.

"Riki Ott, a modern day Joan of Arc, was in the right place at the right time to become witness to one of the most egregious crimes against man and nature in modern day history. Riki has proven through her willingness to expose the corporate corruption and cover up of the Exxon Valdez oil spill that she is a courageous, caring, and passionate voice for the people and the planet."—Laura Turner Seydel, chair of the Captain Planet Foundation and cofounder of Mothers & Others for Clean Air
—Laura Turner Seydel, chair of the Captain Planet Foundation and cofounder of Mothers & Others for Clean Air
"Riki Ott takes the debate on fossil fuels to a new level in this compelling book. When will the oil companies wake up to realize that--just as U.S. car companies missed the boat on fuel efficient cars--the ExxonMobils of the world need to diversify the types of energy they offer? Somehow, the people of Cordova, Alaska, knew the truth before the oil executives or the politicians they elected."—David Rockefeller, Jr., Founder, Sailors for the Sea
—David Rockefeller, Jr., Founder, Sailors for the Sea
"Alaska's corporate creatures--and the corrupt local politicians who did their bidding for so long--feared Riki even before the Exxon Valdez because of her intellectual honesty, her energy, her contacts, her expert knowledge and her forensic use of factual argument to demolish the slimy artefacts of the public relations industry. What made her particularly scary was that she'd repeatedly warned them before the disaster that this was going to happen if they didn't shape up.
Millions of words have been written about the Exxon Valdez spill. It's been my (sometimes dreary and depressing) duty to read most of them. But of all the official reports, learned papers, TV documentaries, newspaper articles and books, this is by far the best. Riki has written her masterpiece. It's not just about an oil spill and about its dire effects on a community of a few thousand fishing families in a remote and beautiful corner of the North Pacific; it's bigger than that. The themes are community values and corporate lies; the endless tussle between truth and falsehood, between good and evil.
Surprisingly, Riki's long-awaited book is more cheerful than I expected; she meticulously logs the catastrophe and its aftermath (and hints at the sacrifices in her personal life that all this campaigning entailed), but out of the despair there is hope here--hope that a better-informed, more vigilant and more self-confident public will follow her example and challenge the corporate arrogance that continues to make so many people's lives an avoidable misery, worldwide."—Dr. Jonathan Wills, writer, wildlife guide, and Shetland (Scotland) Councillor
—Dr. Jonathan Wills, writer, wildlife guide, and Shetland (Scotland) Councillor
"Aldo Leopold wrote, 'A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise.'
The tragic Exxon Valdez oil spill is wrong!
Riki Ott is the right person--at the right place--at the right time. Her expertise as an author and as a marine toxicologist alerts us to the true cost of our addiction to oil--not just monetary cost, but ecological cost. Democracy and the planet are at stake."—Nina Bradley, Director of the Aldo Leopold Foundation
—Nina Bradley, Director of the Aldo Leopold Foundation
"Ott is the Erin Brockovitch of the Exxon Valdez oil disaster. In Not One Drop she recounts a riveting tale of loss, intrigue, cover-ups, and courage—and in the process helps us all see why we will be glad to leave behind the age of oil."—Fran Korten, Publisher of YES! Magazine
—Fran Korten, Publisher of YES! Magazine
"Not One Drop unflinchingly documents the full measure of sacrifice made by a few so the rest of us can get our next fix of oil. The price at the pump must now also be measured in shattered communities and our humanity itself. Bravo to Riki Ott for delivering another knockout punch to our petroleum-powered complacency."—Terry Tamminen, Cullman Senior Fellow at the New America Foundation, and former Secretary of the California EPA

Ask the Car Insurance Expert
My wife is disabled and cannot drive but my insurance agent told me it is cheaper to keep her on the policy than to take her off. Why is this? I will be the only driver in my vehicles.
Your wife probably lowers your overall car insurance bill because she's seen – for whatever reason – as a better "risk" by the insurer. If you're the only driver on the policy you'll up the cost as a "riskier" driver.
[Let Insure.com help you find affordable car insurance now.]
It's nice that the agent is willing to do that for you, although I don't know if the insurer would be too happy about it.

With even a brief introduction to Jennie and Richey Vicious of The Vicious Guns it becomes clear that these guys, in true Lady Gaga fashion, live and breath their art. They embody rock 'n' roll, have a flair for dramatics and even wear some pretty killer outfits. Although their personal relationship is slightly questionable – Jack and Meg White style – their talent and ability to rock is not. The Vicious Guns have collectively played with bands such as The Donnas, Vampire Weekend and Cheap Trick, and together showcased at SXSW this past March. Hailing from Toronto, this duo was hand-picked by Stephen Trask to portray the Angry Inch in his cult classic Hedwig & the Angry Inch for the musical's 2009 Toronto run and garnered to rave reviews.
Their song "Newchain" was the first song I came across on OurStage, and it immediately caught my attention. The spacious guitars and Jennie Vicious' voice are both reminiscent of '90s garage rock similar to Six Pence None The Richer with an electronic twist. Their songs seem to span multiple decades, going from catchy '90s pop to Madonna-esque '80s dance pop with their song "Friends Aren't Friends". In "Migraine" they go a little darker, showing their musical depth by layering and looping their vocals and creating a more ambient, chilled out sound.
The released their self-titled EP this past December, but have plans to release their first full-length album this summer. Check out their MySpace page for a full schedule of tour dates throughout June, July and August along with some very cool live videos. Take a listen to their songs on OurStage in the player below!

PETA have welcomed the controversy over their advert accused of being homophobic, saying they are just like Marmite
PETA are used to controversy, but this time some have accused them of going too far with their new campaign featuring British comic Alan Carr.
The gay Chatty Man host is starring in the latest advert urging people to 'fix' the dog and cat overpopulation crisis.
Wearing a pair of pink fairy wings and brandishing a star-shaped magic wand, the ad's tagline is: 'Be a Little Fairy for Animals!'
When it was revealed yesterday (17 April), several people took to social media to voice their outrage.
The president of a Catholic group aimed at defending religious liberties has claimed that the rescue of a dog that was due to be put down because its owner thought he was gay shows anti-straight bias
The president of America's Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights has claimed that a dog being saved from being put down after its owner refused to care for him because he thought he was gay is evidence of pro-gay and anti-straight bias.
A Tennessee owner left their dog in a high-kill animal control center because his pet 'hunched over' another male dog
A Tennessee dog owner left their pet in a high-kill animal shelter because he believed it was 'gay'.
The shelter urged people to save the dog, whose name is unknown, and adopt it before it was due to be put down.
According to the owner of the shelter Jackson Rabies Control, the dog's master noticed him 'hunched over' another male dog, which led him to assume he was gay.

Deep in the woods near the Mink Brook, Advanced Placement environmental science students from Hanover High School are collecting data on the forest.
"We are looking at the species that are currently growing here and how many of them there are," said Owen Brennick, a junior.
That includes the canopy above, and the saplings and seedlings that are just starting out. The data are crunched and, ultimately, a long-term prediction will be made about what the trees will look like a century from now.
"I think you can really see what is happening instead of just looking at pictures or PowerPoints. You actually get to experience it," said Eileen Daley, a senior.
Field studies are routine for this class, bringing the classroom to subjects they are examining.
"We just spent a day out at the Ely copper mine in West Fairlee, Vermont, looking at acid mine drainage. That is our first field site in the fall. We come here as our second site and then we do two other field studies before snow flies," teacher Jeannie Kornfeld said.
The students are also studying an invasive species named the Glossy Buckthorn to find out the long-term impact that will have on the forest as well.
"It would also have other effects on the repairing zone next to the stream and the ecosystem in the stream, as well," Brennick said.
And teachers say the threat posed by invasive species is amplified when students see the results firsthand.
"When they are gathering their own data and they see firsthand the invasive species on the forest floor there and what it looks like here; it has a whole different impact," Kornfeld said.
And in 100 years this forest will look a whole lot different, as well.
"I mean, we obviously won't be alive for that long, but it is great to see as it changes," Brennick said.
Giving meaning to the expression "seeing the forest for the trees."

Verizon, AT&T iPhones load web pages at same rate, firm reports
Verizon's network may reach areas that AT&T doesn't, but people stuck with AT&T have told themselves at least AT&T's data network is faster. While this is indeed the case, it doesn't make web pages load any faster on AT&T than on Verizon, according to a phone testing firm.
Metrico Wireless confirmed that data speeds on Verizon's CDMA network are indeed just half those on AT&T's network, but that this made no difference when it came to browsing the Web. Users will only notice the difference if they're downloading large files on their iPhones.
Verizon boasts that its network is more reliable than AT&T's, and Metrico's testing confirmed this. But, without revealing exact percentages, the firm said that the difference in terms of dropped or unconnected calls wasn't that great. Metrico tested with 4,000 calls and 10,000 web page downloads in New York, Seattle, Washington, Baltimore, Chicago and Dallas and surprisingly found that the Verizon iPhone was 10 percent less reliable than the AT&T model when downloading a file in a moving vehicle.
