BCSP-NIOSH Agreement
Advancing Safety and Health Through Collaboration
The Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCSP) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) signed a formal agreement to establish a partnership to improve occupational safety and health at workplaces throughout the United States. Since the 2012 agreement, the two organizations have worked together to assist in the development of safety and health professionals.
BCSP and NIOSH utilize expertise in effective prevention strategies and technology as part of this collaborative effort. The partnership also encourages students to pursue safety as a career, and advances their competency in that field.
As part of the agreement, BCSP and NIOSH work cooperatively in:
- Developing and disseminating information on management systems and best practices for occupational safety and health, and career opportunities in safety and health through print and electronic media, including NIOSH and BCSP websites.
- Strengthening recruiting efforts for students to enter occupational safety and health technical, undergraduate and graduate programs.
- Participating in conferences, meetings and other key events where worker safety and health, and safety and health practitioners' professional development are addressed.
- Promoting and facilitating the transfer of relevant occupational safety and health research findings and prevention-through-design (PtD) to practices and the body of knowledge of safety and health professionals.
Further details on the agreement, as well as resources which are part of the collaborative effort, can be found on the right-hand column of this webpage.

I'm an outsider. I have never been employed by a retail organisation. Perhaps if I had, I would never have developed my perception that retailers are consumers. Everything I do, every module I develop with my team is driven from a (real) consumer's perspective rather than from a retailer's perspective.
From day one in this business I struggled to understand why ecommerce was different from any other type of commerce. I'm wary of 'walls', so I could never really grasp why any enterprise would create and covet artificial barriers such the one imposed around e-commerce some 15 years ago. What the heck do consumers know about channels after all?
I do get all the arguments behind that decision though:
- The Internet is not here to stay
- We are afraid that our other channels will lose out
- It's new, so let's see how it will play out
- Our field crew / stores / branches generate the majority of our revenue and we don't want to upset them
- Who gets the commission?
- Who covers the costs?
- Insert your excuse here…!
B2B companies use the same arguments too.
However, all these arguments have one thing in common – they are born out of fear, the fear of losing something. I can relate to this fear when businesses fight against external competitors, when an athlete battles another one, when enterprises compete for the same market space. There is always the possibility of losing.
But, to breed that fear inside an organisation, I do not get. Shouldn't an enterprise's ultimate goal be to increase its bottom line, regardless which channel has contributed how much to it?
In my experience enterprises are so busy discussing internally who gets the bigger piece of the pie that they are failing to notice that the pie is shrinking on a daily basis. Is that just human nature? Either way, I can't help but think that those companies who fail to swiftly shift their internal compensation structure (and that is in so many cases the only hurdle) will soon be fighting for survival.
There is one inconvenient truth. Like water erodes stones, the Internet and its users have very quickly brought the inter-channel walls crashing down. Many organisations now find themselves stripped down to their foundations. Let's hope those walls were not the load-bearing walls of their enterprise.
An organisation without these walls is not necessarily exposed. It is liberated. Suddenly, so many things that once seemed so hard to achieve (click & collect, in-store personalisation, empowered shop assistants, a new type of point-of-sale, support for emerging touch points) become easily possible. E-commerce becomes what it's supposed to be… commerce!

Bangar in Brunei is located in the Temburong District and also an administrative centre of this region. Being a small town it acts as an important landmark in the economic picture of the Sultanate of Brunei. It has major quarries industries and the boulders that are collected are used for the construction business. Visiting any of these quarries of Bangar is a remarkable experience. This small town is also not left behind in the field of tourism and boasts some of the best city attractions and excursions. One of the popular tourist attractions here is the Ulu Temburong National Park which is situated at the distant part of Batu Apoi Reserve.
This park is easily accessible by long boats and the diverse species of wildlife of this park make it the most visited spot. The Canopy Walkway in the park `is 50m in height offering stunning views of the virgin forest and is situated on a treetop. This is amongst the main feature and prime attraction of the park. This park is an excellent holiday destination for locals and tourists alike. The Malay villages can also be visited nearby. These have pillared houses and are filled with fruit trees. The Rainforest Field Studies Centre is another popular place to visit, which is a centre of training, teaching and research of Brunei's lowland tropical forests.

My son Attended Kindergarten at Griffin Creek for the 2013-2014 school year. He had lots of fun and a great teacher. His teacher will be moving up to second grade for the 2014-2015 school year, hoping she will be there when he enters second grade. I am hoping to go back to Griffin Creek for him as long as we don't move to a different school. If at all possible I would try to get your kid into Griffin Creek or move to where you can go to that school if you have kids in grade K-6th. Have fun enjoying the last bit of summer. Happy Trails Griffin Creek Parent.
This is a great school and is a community school in every sense of the word. It's true that generations of the same families make it their priority to send their children to this school and it is because of its high academic scores, active art, music and physical fitness programs & strong community support.
This is a great school in a great neighborhood. Unfortunately, because it is a great school, they get people transferring in with children with problems (behavioral, etc.) who have a hard time at any school and demand an inordinate amount of attention. I wouldn t base my opinion of the school on sour grapes opinions. High academic scores, active art and music programs & community support make this a great elementary school! Our family has had 2 generations go through Griffin Creek Elementary already, with great success.
We are very happy with Griffin Creek. Great teachers, friendly office staff, and a nice setting. My son enjoys going to school everyday. Lots of fun activities are scheduled throughout the year: Family art night, skate night, movie night, 2K runs, etc.
Despite the great reviews I've read, I have to say my experience with my child attending this school is not a pleasant one. My child needs extra help in reading and writing, which I asked for assistance with as to where their response was "due to budget cuts we cannot offer your child any help unfortunately". They would rather have a child be at a lost of understanding and write poor remarks on their reports then give a child help that is desperately needed. Also regarding their progress reports, be sure to receive quite a few contradictory remarks. I'm not sure if it's just the teacher that my child has or the typical nature of the school in general, either way it speaks a lot about how they approach a child with needs. By the way I think it is remarkable and quite magical how my child came from one school receiving high remarks and awards, in exception for reading and writing, then due to a move entered this school and has received remarks of the complete opposite. So much for no child gets left behind!
I attended Griffin Creek for Kindergarten through 6th grade, and I have to say, it was an excellent school. The staff is wonderful and the teachers know more then a thing or two about what they're teaching. The school has an amazing history to it and I would recommend it to any parents looking to send their kid(s) to an extraordinary elementary school!
2010 Medford's Griffin Creek Elementary School is one of only 179 schools nationwide that received a Bronze National Recognition Award from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation for promoting physical fitness and healthy nutrition among students and staff. This is a great school with strong community support.
This is a very good school to send your kids to they work witth your kids if they need help and they are always looking of ways to get the parents involed
If you like more one on one work, or if you are looking for a school that any and every child will be accepted this is the school for your children. I am a parent that thinks that music and the great out doors have a lot to teach your children then this is the school for you and your children. Sencerely, Misty Vanderkamp

You might think a firm which has forged its reputation through 115 years of insurance law expertise would be a bit of an old fuddy-duddy. In fact, with graduate recruitment based around punchy slogans such as 'break the mould' and 'rewrite the rules', RPC is far more cutting-edge than you may anticipate. One trainee gave us the low-down: "This is a firm that's always innovative and trying to reinvent itself. The last five years has seen RPC reposition itself in the marketplace, and it's focused on continuous improvement." How has this manifested itself? "RPC historically did a lot of insurance work – and still does – but it's the corporate/commercial side of the business where the real growth is coming from." Although firmly steeped in mid-market transactions, RPC's corporate practice has seen year-on-year growth of 20% since 2008. The team took on three laterals from Wragge & Co in January 2013 – including its head of corporate – and was awarded The Lawyer's mid-cap corporate team of the year gong in 2012. Throw into the mix a top Chambers UK ranking for lower mid-market work in London, and it's been a far from shabby progression.
Inside the London office near the Tower of London, there are plenty of nods to a progressive culture: the open-plan offices allow trainees to sit among all the other fee earners, while the RPC Twitter feed is left to the mercy of those undertaking a training contract. Some Student Guide favourites from the micro-blogging site include: 'Nothing like sitting in traffic on Tower Bridge assuming you won't be in time for the free breakfast then making it at the last moment! #yesssss', and 'the fish bowls full of sweets are starting to run low... when will there be a refill?? Soon please! #sugarrush.'
Our sources were keen to emphasise how markedly RPC has changed since they joined. "It was a single-office firm when I started," recalled a second-year, "but within four months it opened in Bristol, and shortly after it launched in Singapore and Hong Kong too. It's definitely growing, and the general mood is very positive." The Bristol office launched in January 2012 after RPC nabbed a 28-strong team from CMS, and trainees see the insurance-focused West Country branch playing an influential role in the coming years. "I wouldn't be surprised if some of the insurance team from London moved to Bristol as London continues to focus more and more on the corporate side," said one. "I think RPC will probably start recruiting to that office soon as well." Training principal Simon Goldring agrees: "In addition to our established plans for trainee recruitment in London, it's very likely that from this year we will start recruiting into our Bristol office too."
RPC is broadly split into two divisions: insurance and corporate/commercial. Seats on offer in the realm of insurance are: professional risks; financial institutions; general liability and medical; property and casualty; construction; corporate insurance; and international risks and reinsurance (IRR). In corporate/commercial trainees can sample: corporate; real estate; regulatory; employment, pensions and incentives; commercial disputes; and the wordy media, IP, technology, outsourcing, competition and commercial contracts – helpfully abbreviated to MIPTOCC). Prior to each seat change, trainees fill out a preference form citing "a commercial option, an insurance option and one other." This process is aided by "seat spotlight sessions," where "each team gives a 30-minute presentation on what they're currently working on and what trainees can expect. It gives you an idea of everything the firm is doing."
The general liability and medical insurance team primarily works for defendants on "medical negligence and high-value personal injury claims. We represent the insurers of doctors, nurses, chiropractors, spiritual healers – literally all sorts!" Thanks to their confidential nature, we can't give you the scoop on any juicy cases, but trainees were highly impressed by the seat. "I was thrown into interesting tasks straight away, and by the third week I was phoning up clients and taking statements myself," said one. Another said: "The associates I sat with were very keen to get me involved. I was drafting instructions to counsel and experts, looking at policy reviews and assessing claims. I even went along to trial and lots of hearings. There wasn't much bundling at all, thank goodness!" The professional negligence team works for professionals in the financial, insurance, construction, legal and technology sectors. "Partners were really keen to get me involved, take me along to meetings and allow me to draft documents for clients," a trainee said of the seat. "There are a lot of interesting and weird cases which aren't run-of-the-mill. Recently I've seen a wasted costs case against a solicitor, and I've done lots of negligence claims against tax advisers. There's a real push at the moment for the more complicated, higher-value cases."
Both the real estate and construction departments have contentious and non-contentious offerings. Each facet has been helping to advise Hadley Mace on the Heart of East Greenwich development, an urban renewal project set to create 650 new homes as well as health and leisure facilities. On the construction insurance side, trainees said: "Our main clients are big contractors, but we also work for private clients – usually wealthy individuals who built holiday homes or annexes and things have gone wrong with damp or their planning permission." The real estate litigation team counts Sports Direct as a long-term client and recently acted for the retailer in relation to its acquisition of 19 stores from failed rival JJB in a case worth £25m. On the financial side, RPC advised Student Cribs on the formation of a property investment fund for the acquisition of student accommodation throughout the UK. "I was dealing with the Land Registry Office on a regular basis and filling in stamp duty," a second-year informed us of the seat. "However, I also ran my own file involving a significant transaction. I was doing all the paperwork for the completion of a property sale." Another said: "If you do a good piece of work, they let you send it out in your name so the client will come back to you. It meant a partner at another firm rang me directly, which was great!" Real estate also has a bit of rep for being "the most social seat."
Simon Goldring told us that RPC's commercial group – which takes on a broad spread of work, from corporate/M&A and real estate to commercial litigation and IP –"had its best ever year and for the first time contributed more than 50% of the firm's turnover." The team mainly handles mid-market deals for clients such as Fox News, HMV and the Daily Mail Group, but it sees some mammoth transactions as well. Recently it advised Sweden's SCA Hygiene Products on its $1.32bn acquisition of Georgia-Pacific's European tissue operations in 22 jurisdictions. Trainees offered mixed opinions of their time in the seat. "It was classic corporate," reflected one. "You get some quiet weeks, but then also some really long hours. I generally got good responsibility and was very clearly told what I needed to do, which is crucial on big deals; otherwise you can get lost." Unfortunately another source felt much more out of the loop: "I wasn't included in any internal meetings. I was just given discrete tasks and didn't know the context or what value I was adding, which was a bit demoralising. I understand the pace of the work means there isn't always time to sit down with the trainee, but I still would have appreciated feeling more involved in the bigger picture." In all fairness, that source did add: "I worked on a couple of banking deals which were completely different. They were much more interesting purely because the associates involved gave me a lot more responsibility."
A seat with the media group is "always popular" as the team "works for a lot of the national newspapers and high-profile tech clients, primarily on defamation, privacy and contempt of court claims brought by people in the public eye." The roster of clients RPC hold in this area is mightily impressive – News International, the Financial Times, Amazon, Google (including YouTube), Twitter and Betfair are just some that roll off the tongue. The defamation/reputation management branch is the real star – it picks up top recognition from Chambers UK and recently played a key role in advising Associated Newspapers (in particular its Daily Mail, Mail Online and Mail on Sunday titles) throughout the Leveson Inquiry. "It's a very busy seat," a source informed us. "The claims aren't always worth a huge amount, so they can be very short. There are some menial tasks like bundling, photocopying and logistics, but they give you the chance to take the lead on some smaller claims too. On bigger cases I got to draft quite a lot of court documents like applications for the defence." IP is another seat that is "incredibly popular" across intakes. The team mainly focuses on trade mark, copyright and design litigation but handles transactional work as well. Clients hail from the sports, media, technology, retail, insurance and pharmaceutical sectors, and names such as Newcastle United FC, Dunlop, Waterstones and the National Trust all seek out RPC's expertise. "You get involved in good work from day one," chirped a happy trainee. "It's not sitting down doing the photocopying. I was drafting witness statements and pleadings, but the best thing was that I could do research, give feedback and offer opinions on the matter at hand. They really got me involved with team meetings, and there's no separation in roles.; everyone works together."
If you're desperate to get experience outside of RPC HQ, there's the opportunity to go on secondment to the in-house teams of certain construction, IP and media clients. "It's a case of speaking to the relevant partner, and then they'll take it up with HR and discuss who is best for the role," explained a second-year. "The only prerequisite is that you've done the relevant seat beforehand."
Our sources were adamant that the open-plan offices "make a massive difference" to the trainee experience. "It's the best thing about RPC," eulogised one. "It's been incredibly valuable sitting with partners and senior associates, and it's a great learning experience just to sit and listen to them." Another appreciated the integrated atmosphere it creates. "You get to know each other very quickly. It's not like you're having to wander up and down the corridors knocking on doors to introduce yourself to everyone. People just do the meerkat and pop their head up over the pod, which makes it more social."
This also plays a central role in what trainees described as a "collaborative" culture. "There's a sense everyone is working together, and there's definitely an effort to encourage team-playerism," offered one noun-inventing source. "Everyone helps each other out, and the degree you see different partners from different departments interacting is great." With the current intake seeing their training contracts play out during a time of transition for RPC, some worried its favourable aspects may be diluted. "As we're growing so rapidly and there have been a number of lateral hires, there is concern over the culture," explained a second-year. "It hasn't changed yet, but you do sense there will be a discernible shift." Another source added: "As RPC moves towards being full-service and tries to get in the bigger, higher-value work, you do anticipate the hours might become longer and the atmosphere won't be quite as relaxed." Simon Goldring was quick to allay such fears: "Growth generated through laterals always carries the risk of people coming in who don't share our culture, but that's so far not been a problem at RPC," he says. "Senior management are rigorous in making sure that any new hire is a cultural fit with RPC, and their judgement has proven to be spot on over the years." Other trainees did echo Goldring's sentiments. "To be an integrated firm with one culture is very important to senior management, and it shows in the people they hire," commented one.
One way in which the culture is safeguarded is through RPC's Hogwarts-style house system, which sees each lawyer placed into either 'Reynolds', 'Porter' or 'Chamberlain'. The houses compete in a variety of competitions and quizzes throughout the year in aid of charity and – more importantly – for the glory of winning the house cup. "It's a great way to get to know people who you might not work with every day," concluded a source. "The firm-wide competitions also allow everyone to have an evening together, and there's always a great atmosphere." The much-vaunted 'RPC's Got Talent' night is the "highlight of the social calendar" and sees a range of credible and novelty acts unleash their own brand of on-stage wizardry. One embarrassed source mumbled about a "terrible" dance they'd performed to a well-known pop hit. "It was highly humiliating." It's not entirely fun and games, though: apparently each house is "very competitive."
The buzzword "innovative" is currently flitting around RPC so much that it's to the chagrin of some. "You actually get a bit fed up of hearing how innovative and incredible we are," joked one source. We asked Simon Goldring what this – along with recruitment phrases such as 'ripping up the rule book' and 'breaking the mould' – actually says about life at the firm. "What we really mean is that we think that the traditional approach to delivering legal services has had its day, and at RPC we're looking to create something new and refreshing, fit for the future needs of our clients," he told us. "We genuinely want to facilitate trainees to bring in their own ideas to the firm, to be dynamic and improve what we offer. Aside from work we see trainees putting on fantastic shows at the Christmas party, rolling up their sleeves for our charity work and setting up new clubs. We're trying to foster an environment where they have the confidence to be individuals and do innovative things, as it gives them all the kinds of skill like communication and project management which are necessary to be a good lawyer." As such, sources agreed that "as long as you are enthusiastic and keen to jump in with both feet – whether that means with bundling or just trying your hand at something new – then RPC will like you. We're not looking for shrinking violets, but neither are we looking for Lord Sugar's apprentices. RPC wants people who can work in a team without being abrasive."

Not to be confused with the thick-as-fog, sits-in-your-stomach-like-a-brick winter-time version, this pea soup is subtle and light, fragrant with lemon and mint.

If your office is anything like mine, which is to say, offensively freezing given the calendar date, then you likely share my affinity for soup in warm weather.

"The 2010 Chianti Classico shows lovely depth and power in its expressive dark cherries, plums, spices, menthol and licorice. Clean veins of minerality give the wine its considerable focus and energy. This is an especially understated wine from Fonterutoli, but it works. A clean, vibrant finish of stone fruits, flowers and spices resonates on the close."

Procedural quest: Why there are so few police procedurals in gaming
Flip through the channels on cable TV for more than a minute, and there's a good chance the weathered face of Detective Lennie Briscoe or the salt-and-pepper shag of Jack McCoy will fill your screen. Law & Order reruns will be around forever; the original series ran for 456 episodes over 20 years. Throw in spin-offs and there are more than 1000 episodes. CSI and NCIS have run for hundreds of episodes. The popularity of procedural shows never wanes: day-in, day-out, the formula never changes, but we keep watching. Procedurals like Law & Order and CSI are the reliable backbone of entertainment: sturdy, consistent, always there to give you what you need without doing anything too new or exciting. We love procedurals. So why, if the genre is so enormously, enduringly popular, on TV and in books and even movies, are there so few police procedural video games?
Predictable-but-entertaining detective stories and courtroom dramas have dominated primetime for 60 years, but you can count the successful, well-known procedural games on a couple hands with fingers to spare. When HBO's True Detective did something bold and new with the formula, it became the most talked-about TV show in years. It also made me realize that police procedural games are practically nonexistent. I couldn't figure out why, so I decided to talk to game writers and designers, from the creator of Police Quest to the writer behind Spec Ops: The Line, to answer that question.

I just had to go with Sam Kekovich for this month and choose a lamb recipe. Although the meatloaf below, really is equally good with beef, pork or veal mince – or a mixture – let's go for lamb on this Australia Day.
It's a lovely easy dish, stays moist, and is just as good hot as cold. You can put a layer of spinach and cheese in the middle if you like to add variety. The V8 juice thickens a little and is very nutritious and tasty.
Serves 4-6
600g (approximately) lean minced beef or lamb
Mix all ingredients together well in a large bowl. Shape into a loaf shape and place in a large greased baking dish. Heat V8 juice and pour over the loaf. Bake uncovered one hour at 190C.

Tannoy's TS range of active subwoofers, designed for studio monitoring and playback of multi channel recordings, offer incredibly compact designs without compromising their powerful and punchy dynamic bass performance.
An exceptionally sturdy and rigid cabinet is the basis of this model, ensuring a extraordinary control of the drive unit and minimizing unwanted cabinet resonance. It utilizes a substantially built, down-firing drive unit with an oversized magnet system. The massive roll surround allows substantial cone excursion providing the necessary air movement to ensure very extended low frequency output; it has usable output down as low as 15Hz!
BASH® amplifier technology is featured in these subwoofers; a patented high efficiency power amplifier circuit topology that has taken the best of Class D and Class AB and created a new Class of its own. The digital power amplifier with its patented switch mode power supply delivers exceptional performance and excellent bandwidth with long-term reliability. Very high-power amplifiers are fitted (500 Watts RMS) ensuring there is ample power to reproduce even the most dynamic movie scores.
Achieving the optimum settings is easy; low frequency extension can be varied from around 60Hz down to the unit's lowest operating frequency via a control on the rear panel to allow the subwoofer to be adjusted to match the relative frequency in relation to the main monitor system. Versatile connectivity is offered through a selection of input and output sockets; stereo line level inputs can either utilise or bypass the system's internal crossover circuitry. XLR sockets are provided for direct connection to the mixing desk and output to active main speakers. The output can be selected as either a direct feed or switched to provide an 80Hz HIPASS function.
Other features include an auto power on and sleep function whereby the system will go into a 'stand-by' mode if no signal is detected for approximately 12 minutes. Soft-clip limiting is incorporated to limit the maximum sound output in order to eliminate audible distortion. Gain and phase controls are provided to allow easy adjustment for output level and precise matching with the room and the rest of the system.
The Tannoy TS range of subwoofers deliver a tightly controlled performance to faithfully reproduce the impact, punch and drive of your mix.

Right now, except for a few showers, it truly is a tropical paradise. But that doesn't mean we can forget our annual rite of passage, preparing for Hurricane Season.
Officially, the season begins June 1 and runs through November, with the brunt of it in August and September. But if you start planning now, you'll avoid a lot of stress and long lines later on.
I know, I was here for Frances in '04 and Wilma in '05. I remember days with boil-Water restrictions and cooking for my three kids (who at the time were ages 4 through 13) when the power was out. So I'm here to help you get ready for whatever the season brings.
You can spread out making purchases of the extra supplies you need by starting to stockpile now. Gradually stocking your hurricane pantry will make the task less daunting and ready you to prepare healthy, nutritious meals even during a power outage.
It's an opportune time to go through your cupboards and see what you already have and then take advantage of buy-one-get-one-free deals that most grocers offer in today's competitive marketplace.
We all recognize the importance of living "green," but if you've ever experienced a water ban or lived without power for extended periods, you realize disposable products such as dishes, cups and silverware make your challenged life more manageable and, more importantly, safer.
Although single-serve packaging typically isn't the most economical or eco-friendly choice, it is a good way to avoid food waste and valuable cooler space when refrigeration is unavailable.
To help you get started, we've prepared a basic hurricane preparedness grocery list and a list of the cooking equipment you should have on hand, plus some websites where you can get more information.
We hope the recipes provide inspiration beyond just opening a can. They are easily modified to accommodate personal tastes, budgets and what you may have on hand at the time. There's nothing more comforting than a wholesome meal during stressful times. Add a glowing lantern and a bottle of red wine (that doesn't require chilling). Your family and neighbors will appreciate your efforts.

Hurricane preparedness for cooks
It's time to stock your pantry and think about recipes you can prepare without electricity or water. We help you get started.

Then I went online and was excited to find Tokyo Pen Shop with a USA address. They even have .28 and .25 mm pen tips! (although I can't tell the difference in line widths between the .25 Slicci, and the other three I ordered:
Uniball Signo DX .28 mm
Uni Style Fit Single, .28 mm
Uniball Signo RT1, .28 mm;
to test which might work best. Discovery: They're all excellent and all comparable, for my needs!
By nature they can't flow like an everyday TUL writing ball point. These pens give slight, normal resistance when writing, which means one naturally has to write a bit more slowly. This is an unavoidable trade-off for pens with such fine tips.
Every pen has the promised ultra fine points, even ink flow, clean lines, no drips. I like the feel of holding all of them. The Uni Style Fit Single has a somewhat thinner barrel--but no problem for me. I'm very happy with all these pens which fill my special needs!
The Tokyo Pen Shop Web site is beautifully designed--easy to read and follow. I received the pens, nicely packaged, in three biz days. My experience as a first-time buyer has been top-notch. Seems to be a company of body, mind, heart, and soul! Mary M.

Charles S. and Isabella V. McMullen Museum of Art
The desperation of the newly homeless mother seemed to reach
right out of Robert G. Kelly's 1848 painting and claw at passersby.
The work, "An Ejectment in Ireland," was part of the recent
"Éire/Land" exhibit at Boston College's McMullen
Museum of Art, a University treasure nestled alongside the Office of Undergraduate
Admission in Devlin Hall.
In "Ejectment," dark clouds hover ominously
over soldiers forcing a family from its land. A priest in clerical collar,
wearing an expression of hopelessness, demonstrates the Church's
powerlessness against British rule. The painting is a highly political
sample from the diverse exhibition, which traced the importance of land
in Irish history from medieval times to today.
Along with Kelly's painting, "Éire/Land"
featured medieval manuscripts, antique maps, newspaper illustrations,
and numerous landscapes—some lush and green and others notably barren.
Contemporary works included Peter Brooke's expansive vertical landscape
"Foidin Mearaidhe" (1999) and Kathy Herbert's "Absent"
(1996), in which eight spare black-and-white photos are placed above a
neat row of beat-up boots set in cement and scrim.
The McMullen Museum welcomes art lovers from around the
world, students, and casual visitors to its exhibitions, which most notably
have included a show of rarely seen work by Caravaggio in 1999 and the
acclaimed Edvard Munch survey in 2001. The museum, which opened in its
current space in 1993 and which houses an impressive permanent collection,
underscores Boston College's dedication to providing students and
the community at large with inspiration through the arts.
Many McMullen exhibits, including "Éire/Land,"
have received national media attention, including reviews in the New
York Times and the Wall Street Journal,
and feature spots on CBS News Sunday Morning.
The Munch exhibit, which was the largest U.S. exhibit of his work in half
a century, attracted particular interest, drawing visitors who otherwise
might not have discovered Boston College.
of the strong positive reception BC's McMullen Museum has
received, we wanted to help galvanize support to advance the museum's
mission. The museum is an institution in ascent. It has already
established a position for itself as a distinguished intellectual
and cultural center, and we want to see this ascent continue."
Nancy Netzer, director of the McMullen Museum and professor
of fine arts, explains that a university museum is uniquely positioned
to tap the wealth of knowledge that resides in the school's faculty.
"The museum harnesses the expertise of a large and extraordinary
group of world-class scholars to ask new questions of our collective historical
and contemporary visual culture," she says.
The McMullen was perfectly positioned to stage "Éire/Land."
"Such an interdisciplinary exhibition could only be organized at
a university like BC with a strong Irish studies program," says
Netzer. The exhibit catalog includes essays not only from fine arts professors
but also from history and English professors. "Professors from many
different disciplines addressed the question of how images reveal attitudes
toward and about the contested possession of the Irish land," she
Visitors to the McMullen Museum's ambitious exhibits
will soon enjoy an improved museum, thanks to John J. and Jacqueline McMullen
P'81 and the McMullen Foundation. These art collectors and patrons,
who originally funded the museum that bears his parents' names,
recently pledged another $6 million to expand the building. Expect changes
in space, not philosophy. "The McMullen Museum of Art brings to
the BC community exhibitions of international importance that break new
ground," says Netzer. Though the building may change, that mission,
no doubt, will not.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Unfortunately Lava Burst was an interesting idea with what ended up being a vital flaw, and why elemental had so many problems at Wrath's release. The 100% crit was an interesting idea, in that it would allow crit-based procs to have a periodic, reliable trigger. Unfortunately, this caused a slight oversight on Blizzard's part.
The fact that Lava Burst has 100% crit, means it does not scale with crit.
Why is this a bad thing?
Most people that have raided long enough can tell you that scaling is everything. As you acquire more gear, it's in a way as though you're still leveling up, but through the gear that you're wearing. As you progress further into raiding, content will come to expect this higher level of performance. Abilities that do not scale, or scale very poorly, suffer the further into raid content that you progress.
So here we have Lava Burst. It crits 100% of the time. At first, this sounds great. But you have to remember that this 100% crit on lava burst isn't a free gift you've been given because blizzard thinks you're cool. In attempting to balance your class, blizzard assumed that you would be critting lava burst at 100%, so really it's just another portion of your dps that simply appears in large chunks. All it really took to see that right at wrath's release was to compare your overall dps over the course of an entire raid boss fight to other classes. There are other classes that didn't have a 100% crit nuke that were doing as much dps as the shaman when measured over the course of an entire raid boss fight.
Now, it's not that Lava Burst does not scale at all. It does of course scale with spellpower. If blizzard had then seen fit to fill the drops and elemental tier set with items that spend their budget on pure spellpower and the necessary hit and no crit, this would have been fine. The item budget would have been spent on stats that affect all of the shaman's spells. But while elemental shaman itemization needs shifted, it seemed that part of the dev team didn't get the memo. Shaman gear continued to look pretty much the same as it always has, with large amounts of spell crit.
People didn't necessarily notice that this was bad at first, because again it's an issue of scaling. An freshly minted 80 just setting foot into Naxxramas with a bunch of other freshly minted 80's didn't really notice a problem. However, players that were topping the charts at the start, fell to dead and distant last once everyone in the raid was fully decked out in Naxxramas epics, especially in Naxxramas 25 where the gear levels were higher. The reason for this is that Lava Burst, which provides a very large portion of the elemental shaman's total damage, had gotten no benefit at all from all that crit on their gear. Meanwhile, other spellcasters were getting gear that was far less wasted. A mage, for example, has most of their damage, perhaps even all depending on spec and situation, scale with both spellpower and crit. This isn't a discussion about mages, so yes, perhaps they were or weren't at the top of the charts, but assuming equal skill the mage was still most likely better off than the shaman in terms of their dps throughput.
For some of you who may point out that there is gear that doesn't have crit or has very little crit, you'd be right. And it's usually called Cloth. Now, the silliness of being forced to use Cloth aside, we still run into some of the same problems. Those sorts of items tend to have spirit, which most clothie classes were designed to scale with, while shaman not only gets no damage at all from spirit to any ability, it's also an undesirable stat even for regen, as shamans favor mp5. It was performing slightly better, but still had some of the same problems, and just you try to wrestle it away from those stuck in cloth.
Furthermore, so much of shaman's damage being sucked up in a single spell that has a midrange cooldown caused major problems with what seems is Blizzard's favorite stat in Wrath, Haste. People doing extensive dps testing and modeling discovered that due to the huge dps output of a properly handled Lava Burst, it should take priority over all other spells in an elemental shaman's rotation. This means if you have a choice to casting an extra lightning bolt, but it will clip into time that Lava Burst is off of cooldown, you're better off simply waiting until you can cast Lava Burst. Clipping your lava bursts will actually cost you dps. Cooldowns are not affected by haste. Therefore, other than some small effect on gcd's and totems, haste is an odd case for elemental shamans in that it does not scale linearly. Haste now only benefits an elemental shaman if they gather enough of it for an entire extra lightning bolt in the space between Lava Burst cooldowns.
So, now we have two stats appearing on a lot of gear that do extremely poorly for elemental shamans. Shamans deep into Naxxramas were doing very poorly, and Blizzard finally took notice. They shuffled elemental talents around, and gave shamans talents that boost the benefit from spelldamage, bringing elemental shamans back up to par. This may in time, though, prove to be a temporary band-aid. The issues of crit scaling and haste scaling remain, they've just been beaten to death by a boost in spellpower's scaling. This may, depending on how far gear scales, prove to become a problem as we progress into Ulduar and especially into later raid instances unless they further refine and tweak things.
In the end, I'm not a big fan of Lava Burst for these reasons. It also went from the promise of a secondary nuke useable in nature-immune situations to a cooldown dps gimmick that caused a new set of fresh problems.
Irshalthra said...
My attention span isn't what it used to be...
@ jrizutko
In this case, it's not really about figuring out how to gear that's my issue with Lava Burst and the way it affects shaman mechanics. It's that the mechanics are at cross-purposes with current itemization, making elemental theorycraft rather a pile of kludge that may show further problems down the road. While elemental is now performing quite well in Naxx25, I feel the buff they gave may have just been a temporary fix that will need further revision as we progress into Ulduar and beyond.
Sometimes this can happen even with less obvious or severe looking scaling problems. Lack of efficient crit scaling is why, for example, shadow priests are going from high in the charts to very low in the charts as the raid gears up in Naxx 25, with the same players at the helm. Blizz acknowledged that, and this is why the upcoming changes are going into Shadowform, and shadow priest crit scaling in general.

Admitting that you have a thing for Asian fusion restaurants is like saying you prefer the Eric Clapton covers of Robert Johnson to Robert Johnson.
But as I see it, Asian fusion cooking can have something to say in the hands of the right chef. It doesn't have to mean mealy seared tuna, limp field greens and sweet sauces.
No chef in America has done as much to burnish the reputation of fusion as Jean-Georges Vongerichten. He opened the original Spice Market in New York as one of his first forays into casual, high-volume dining with a menu that riffed on Asian street food. It was so popular when it opened that reservations were impossible. When I stopped by one evening and asked just to peek inside, I was turned away at the door by a bouncer.
The Atlanta branch of Spice Market in the W Hotel Midtown reprises many of the dishes made popular in New York. It would be a fun restaurant to like.
I stopped by for lunch last Friday and found a mostly empty dining room, and food that had some visual and conceptual appeal, but often missed the mark in taste.
The lunch "bento" ($16, above) is a reasonably priced, nicely customizable sampler platter. The assortment I put together, going clockwise from top right, consisted of:
It was a pretty plate to consider, but I have to say I've gotten more eating enjoyment from those cheesy bento boxes in Japanese restaurants that hold chicken teriyaki, tempura, salad and three pieces of California roll. There more of a sense of contrast and more lustiness to the food.
My friend got the express lunch ($13) that came with a bowl of soup (she also ordered the chicken and coconut) and this warm chicken sandwich. It was an odd hybrid that referenced Vietnamese banh mi for its flavor profile of barbecued meat, pickled vegetable garnish and forward spice. But it went down more like a panini thanks to the soft ciabatta-style bread, thickly cut meat and gushy sauce. It might have been interesting with a sharper focus, but instead reinforced the "fusion as confusion" dictum.
We also got an à la carte order of the famous ginger fried rice ($8.50), which I had been wanting to try. I have long heard about this dish — which consists of a simply fried rice topped with a sunny side up egg and a flurry of fried ginger bits — from New Yorkers and Atlantans alike. It was even featured recently in the New York Times.
Alas, the ginger in this version had spent a long enough time in the frying oil to pick up a bitter aftertaste. It was almost great, but we gave up after a couple of bites.
My friend and I both opted to finish with the passion fruit sorbet served, cutely, in Chinese takeout containers. We agreed it was the best thing we ate. The pastry chef has used some banana for for sweetness, body and contrast and avoided the pitfall of adding too much sugar. It was puckery, cooling, tropical and wholly fantastic.
I would like to like this restaurant better.

I love your last sentence. I have felt that way many times in a place. Everything is so wonderful and the food is bland or merely average (but they are charging spectacular prices, not "average" prices so average just isn't good enough).

I was here once and was thoroughly unimpressed by the food – was dissapointed that I could have had a far better meal at a place on Buford Highway for the $10 I had to pay just to valet my car at the W. Their take on "fusion Asian street food" was terribly executed – the overriding flavor profile of all the real street food is that there should be an interplay of flavors (spicy, sweet, sour, cooked, raw, fresh, etc.) all at once. I found the food very one-note and dissapointing.
I also found it pretentious when seated in a 3/4 empty restaurant on a Friday night that the "food would come out when it was ready since everything is made fresh". I know everything is designed to be shared – even the main courses – but when I got my main course of a bowl of (lacking) noodle soup before my appetizers came out, while other guests at my table were getting their appetizers, it just made the experience that much worse. John – I commend you for a revisit, I vowed I wouldn't!

Spice Market and the scene at the W tries hard to look good but there is no substance to support it. Thanks for the honest review – our experience was similar except no yearning to "like it more."

I went once for lunch went it opened – I was unimpressed and have never gone back. All hype no substance – too bad. Good thing they are tied in with the hotel or they wouldn't survive. Maybe the owners will see this and try to improve it, but maybe they don't care due to the hotel draw.

John, the bento box is one of our favorite meals in Atlanta…. totally incredible. It does not look like allot of food but after you polish off the ice cream you are stuffed… Great value at $16.00. Strange thing though is that is I have never tried anything else so I can comment or critique any other food offerings.

I was excited to go about two years ago. A friend and I arrived at closing but persuaded them to serve us. What followed was one of the most disapointing meals I've ever had at a "name" restaurant. This started a big debate among my friends as some thought that it was our fault for expecting something good when the kitchen was winding down. Others felt that once we were seated we were deserving of the same quality that should be available at earlier hours. They certainly charged the same steep prices. What's your opinion?

I went to Spice Market for a business dinner recently and ordered a noodle dish with tofu and garlic. It was possibly the worst restaurant food I've ever encountered. It was very oily, the garlic was under cooked and bitter, the tofu was tasteless and the broth was awful. Too bad!

I had a similar experience- 3/4 empty on a weekend night and un-special food. We were disappointed. This place feels like what it probably is- an unloved stepchild restaurant, wound up by the W powers that be and left to just run down… Market on the other hand, in the buckhead W was very good.
