Session 1:
Living in a Material World: Using Materiality Assessments to Drive Sustainability Strategy and Metrics Selection
A well designed materiality assessment can make the next steps in determining what needs to be done within a company sustainability program easier to achieve. The direction afforded by knowing what is important to internal and external stakeholders will guide you in making choices in programs and direction. This session will provide an understanding of the process used by companies that are well along in the use of materiality as their highway to success in sustainability. You will gain insight into how they leveraged the understanding gained through their materiality assessment to get where they are and the difficulties or transitions made to best use this new focus.
Session 2:
Creating a Safety Strategy, Getting Buy-In, Measuring Success
This session will help you consider how to be strategic and relevant regarding efforts to improve safety. In the session, you'll learn how different organizations have engaged leadership, defined safety success, and how they've identified key transformational measurements. You'll understand important differences between measuring activities and measuring value when striving for safety excellence.
Session 3:
Overcoming Global Compliance and EHS Management Challenges
Overseeing EHS Compliance and Management for a global company presents a host challenges from data collection, to creating and implementing global policy and standards, to different perceptions of risk, safety and compliance. Have you been able to leverage EHS capabilities and expertise regionally and globally? What strategic internal partnerships, and external networks and services are enabling industry-leading global programs to be successful? How have programs matured from compliance-driven, to data management, to a supportive and sustainable Global EHS Management program? This session will showcase strategic approaches, lessons and reflections from senior EHS leaders that have tackled some of these challenges and explore how they found success.

Session 5:
Strategic Transparency and the Evolution of Sustainability Reporting
Many companies are conflicted when it comes to external sustainability reporting. External organizations assure us that their report or format is essential to our stakeholder's needs, but the value of pursuing any one course can often remain unclear. In this session, we'll hear from different organizations – ones that find value in participating in a variety of reporting programs and ones that strategically limit their participation. Our goal will be to separate the signal from the noise of sustainability reporting and give attendees a better sense of the strategic decisions they can make for their own programs. Attendees will also gain an understanding of the macro trends that are happening in the corporate sustainability reporting realm.
Session 6:
Risk Management Approaches to Safety Performance Improvements
This session will defy traditional safety thinking and showcase new tools and approaches to drive continuous safety performance improvements. You'll hear how organizations have prioritized risk; how they've focused on high risk areas through Serious Injury and Fatality (SIF) prevention; and how they've managed risk by looking at human and organizational performance.
Session 7:
Regulatory Trends and Developments to Watch
Evolving global regulations will be reviewed in light of the recent 2015 Paris COP Agreement, REACH 2018, new TSCA requirements and potential circular economies. The world is changing to a low carbon economy and our goal is to help you sort through these challenges. This session will provide attendees with a review of these and other emerging issues and how you can manage them in your business. In this session, we will explore how companies are assessing these evolving environmental risks and how they can develop adaptive management strategies.
Session 8:
Zero Waste - Delivering on the Goal
Benefit from the insights of a panel of experts who have lived the Zero Waste journey and will share their experiences. Learn answers to questions, such as: How do you define "Zero Waste"? What did your company do to begin the Zero Waste journey? Hear about the key best practices for being successful in achieving Zero Waste and understand how the panelist demonstrated the value of their Zero Waste programs.

Session 9:
How is Your EHS & Sustainability Data Being Used?
Awareness about sustainability practices continues to grow as investors and customers demand more data and better data. This session will help attendees understand how the data they are sharing and reporting, whether via ESG investor questionnaires, an organization-specific reporting platform, or customer requests, is being analyzed and used by investors, customers and other external stakeholders. Come and learn what sustainability data looks like on a Bloomberg terminal, hear from ESG experts, and representatives that are actually working with the data you collect and report. Plus, get insights into how companies will begin acting on the sustainability data they have been collecting for the last several years. Attendees will leave with insights that will help them make sure the data they are sharing and who they share it with will position their company for increased brand value, reduced risk and a competitive advantage.
Session 10:
Employee Engagement: Making Safety Everyone's Job
How do you engage your entire organization in safety? This session will share ways that organizations have engaged employees at all levels, leveraged other functions and successfully driven ownership of safety into all aspects of their organization. Take away inspiration and validation for the type of culture shift that is possible in your safety program.
Session 11:
Leveraging EHS Management Systems to Shift EHS Thinking and Performance
Management systems (EHSMS) have been instrumental in helping our field shift from a compliance-orientation, to one where focus is on performance improvement and organizational impact. The next evolution of EHSMS is pushing into areas of enterprise risk management, organizational health, and expanding the EHS function's depth and breadth. This session will show how cutting-edge approaches are taking existing EHSMS frameworks to new levels, and in turn, are helping EHS professionals increase their perspectives and impact.
Session 12:
Communication and Influencing Skills for EHS&S Leaders
EHS professionals build their careers on a solid technical foundation – some of them so well they find themselves promoted to leadership positions. However, leading a team is a very different than being a member of the team. Come to learn how others have made the transition from individual contributor to leader. This session will be good for those who are new to leadership and also those who are mentoring or working with someone who has recently been promoted to a leadership role.

Product Sustainability Strategies
As the concept of a circular economy takes hold, EHS&S professionals are shifting beyond a focus on product regulatory compliance programs towards driving sustainability strategy across the value chain. This session will demonstrate how organizations are using such tools and concepts as Life Cycle Assessment, Materials Marketplace, Green Chemistry, and Material Alternative Assessments, to improve the sustainability of their product and services and move towards a circular economy, one that is restorative and regenerative by design, and which aims to keep products, components and materials at their highest utility and value at all times.
Session 14:
Next Generation Injury Prevention Approaches
You've driven your injury rates down to "world-class" levels. Now what? How do you continue to improve your injury prevention processes? This session will look at organizations that are improving their incident prevention program by focusing on behavior, reducing slips, trips and falls, and getting the most out of OSHA's VPP program.
Session 15:
Putting a System in place to Reduce EHS and Sustainability Risk in Your Supply Chain
In this session participants will learn about key global supply chain risks and how to put a system in place to mitigate disruptions, scarcity, and social pressure. Speakers will focus on topics like severe weather, socio-political conflicts, global warming, resource over-use, conflict minerals, and forced labor that impart a growing risk on modern global supply chains. Participants will leave with a working knowledge of modern supply chain risk factors and strategies for combating these ever growing issues.
Session 16:
Ensuring Your License to Operate: Strategies and Tools to Be Part of the Water Management Solution
What steps should you be taking to ensure your business has identified the major water-related risks to your operations? Do you know if your sites or supply chains are prepared for water shortages and water quality issues, for instance? Get practical and actionable ideas for mitigating water-related risks that reduce your water intensity, maintain your access to reliable, safe sources of water, and ensure business continuity even as water resources continue to dwindle in many regions. Understand what is meant when companies set goals to be "water neutral" or measure the "true cost of water."

Session 18:
Driving Safety Beyond Your Four Walls
Safety at work is just the start. With the changing dynamics of the workforce, there are many new issues challenging employee health and safety. Hear how organizations have tackled safety challenges like working remotely, and distracted driving. Learn how companies are keeping their employees healthy, safe and focused on the task at hand, at work and beyond. This session will also examine the business value of total worker health programs and explore the varying health and safety needs and expectations of workers of different ages.
Session 19:
Successful EHS Management Before and After a Merger or Acquisition
In these times of fast paced business deals, we will discuss how to get your company proactively thinking about EHS in mergers and acquisitions. Learn from your peers who have weathered the storm, how to get that seat at the table, talk in terms the business understands, and provide immeasurable value to your company by identifying the risks up front. Once the deal is done, we'll explore how to take the best of both companies and integrate system and cultures. Getting acquired? Learn from your peers how to compare systems and take the best of both worlds.
Session 20:
Build Your Bench: How Professional Development and Succession Planning Can Give you a Dream Team

Track 1: Strategic Sustainability
Sessions in this track will focus on the key steps and considerations leaders must take to ensure that their sustainability efforts are organized around a clear strategy, generating business value, and communicated effectively. As companies identify that many of their material EHS and sustainability impacts are happening outside of their immediate operations, this track will also offer a focus on sustainable supply chains and products.
Track 2: Safety Leadership
For leading companies, safety management isn't just a collection of programs. It is embedded in the company culture, touching each and every employee and influencing behavior on and off the job. Sessions in this track will address how to develop a safety strategy and measure success, and will also feature a variety of tools and systematic approaches to reduce safety risks, drive down injury rates, engage employees and extend safety beyond your company walls.
Track 3: Reducing Risk, Spotlighting Value
As a profession, we have long since left behind the notion that EHS is a compliance-only function and continue to reaffirm the strategic value that proactive EHS management brings to companies. Sessions in this track will focus on ways EHS leaders are demonstrating value through risk reduction efforts. Attendees in these sessions will gain insights into how their peers are driving performance through developing management systems, leading integration efforts in mergers and acquisitions, reducing risk in supply chains, and juggling an array of global challenges. It will also include a comprehensive look at regulatory and standards trends and developments on the horizon.
Track 4: Innovative Resource Management
Whether referring to natural or human resources, this session will give attendees a change to focus on specific ways their peers are leveraging resources and delivering big wins for EHS and sustainability. Sessions will also touch on strategies for ensuring the EHS function has a strong succession plan, attracts and retains talent, and offers an opportunity to build leadership skills in the area of influence and communications.

John Cage's contribution to twentieth-century music, literature and art not only established his place as a leading figure in the post-war avant-garde, but also guaranteed his enduring controversy. His emphasis on chance, as opposed to intention, rejected traditional artistic methods and caused uproar amongst his peers. The shock provoked by pieces such as 4'33" still reverberates today, as Cage's radical approach to art and aesthetics continues to challenge and inspire artists worldwide. In his new biography Rob Haskins considers John Cage's life, art, ideas and work, evaluating the twin pillars of Cage's creative output and the ideas that lie behind it. Demystifying the artist's use of chance, and his relationship to Zen Buddhism, the book explores Cage's belief that everyday life and art are one and the same. John Cage will appeal to musicians and artists, as well as general readers interested in the art, music and ideas of the twentieth century.
Rob Haskins is Assistant Professor in the Department of Music at the University of New Hampshire, Durham, and has been involved with John Cage's music as both a scholar and a performer for almost twenty years. He is the author of Anarchic Societies of Sounds: The Number Pieces of John Cage (2009).
Amazon.com で最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー (beta)
Haskins explains in his introduction that he finds the experience of playing Cage's music beautiful, and then goes on to elucidate the path to and means of that beautify in Cage's career. He loves Cage, and out of that love is willing to think critically about the man and the composer, an essential feature. There was no one like Cage, and he was one of the most important artists in the history of civilization, but that does not mean that every though he had was good, nor that every piece he made was successful, that made sense even on his own terms, and Haskins is clear about this.
Haskins depth of knowledge is impressive, but the book is not weighty. He expresses important and difficult concepts clearly and ties them in directly to Cage's actual practice and experience. The biographical details are cogent but brief, and Haskins emphasizes the flow and change of Cage's musical output. He doesn't fetishize "4',33"" and the "Sonatas and Interludes," but identifies the truly fertile periods of Cage's work, and makes lucid critical judgements on what pieces stand in the first rank of achievement. Throughout, he has great intellectual and emotional affection for Cage, but it never clouds his thinking or his writing. The best single book on Cage that has been published.
I used Haskins' biography as a text in a college course on John Cage. In the final class evaluations, 80% of the students gave this book the highest possible rating for "the textbook made a valuable contribution." The remainder of the responses were at the second highest level. And yet this book is also an interesting read for someone well-versed in Cage scholarship, for Haskins spices his concoction with his own opinions (always well-defined as opinions). Cage is fascinating simply in terms of his own biography, but Haskins actually likes the music, the poetry, and the art that he is dealing with, and is a compelling advocate for the work itself.
Just a brief mention of the "one star" review here. It is mostly about another matter entirely, having nothing to do with the Haskins biography. It also criticizes Haskins for a book he has not yet written.

Raw in Paris by Dark Alley Media — It's not just a little fucking, it's not scripted fucking, it's fucking raw and bareback. It's men in heat! Driven by testosterone they just follow their instincts night after night.
Raw in Paris was filmed among the back streets and dive bars of Paris.
PrimePork introduces an incredible fuck-stallion: Charly. In real life he's in the French Army and definitely knows how to handle men. He's a natural top with a solid muscled body, a big fat cock and big full balls. He holds his prey in an iron grip and fucks without mercy.
And welcome back Danny Fox – cute face, gorgeous body, big dick and a butt to drool on. They join more hot, meaty men from Paris!
All different kind of guys, but they have lots in common. When Danny bumps into Charly along the bank of the Seine, it starts a chain reaction of unstoppable bareback sex.
Watch Raw in Paris from Dark Alley Media! Starring Charly, Danny Fox, Dave Starr, Francois, Jessie Marks, Mikael, and Simon.

In this steamy gay threesome vid, ebony studs Ray and Jackson pick up white dude Vinktor at the club. They taken him home for a threesome - or more like a gangbang! The hairy stud is double teamed between the two athletic, well hung ebony males, who take turns fucking his mouth and his ass. Vinktor screws up his face in pain as the black studs show him no mercy, using only spit for lubrication as they drill him anally with their whopping tools. Vinktor is only used to taking on smaller white cocks - and these ebony monsters are the largest shafts he has ever taken in his virtually virginal rear end! These fuckers really tear him up!

A method called optimistic method with dummy locks (ODL) is suggested for concurrency control in distributed databases. It is shown that by using long-term dummy locks, the need for the information about the write sets of validated transactions is eliminated and, during the validation test, only the related sites are checked. The transactions to be aborted are immediately recognized before the validation test, reducing the costs of restarts. Usual read and write locks are used as short-term locks during the validation test. The use of short-term locks in the optimistic approach eliminates the need for the system-wide critical section and results in a distributed and parallel validation test. The performance of ODL is compared with strict two-phase locking (2PL) through simulation, and it is found out that for the low conflict cases they perform almost the same, but for the high conflicting cases, ODL performs better than strict 2PL

Explaining that I bought them at a strip club gift shop with my friend didnt make the furry handcuffs seem less weird
Send us your Text From Last Night!
You realize that if you get murdered while we're talking, I'm gonna have to explain to your next of kin why the last thing on your phone is a picture of my boobs.
I last recall trying to play piano and asking justin for drugs. I would like to think I then gracefully laid down on the couch and shut my eyes like a sleeping kitten.
Yeah, nothing like barfing into a grocery bag you just put dog shit into.
Your brother just walked into my room, pissed drunk and butt naked, got into my bed and fell asleep. In knowing I am gay, you have one hour to deal with him before I do
2 six inch heels, 3 big sangrias, no broken legs
This mustache is awesome. I can't pass by a mirror without looking in it and thinking damn, I'd like to give that guy a handy.
Reasons I shouldn't drink... My twitter drafts keep getting more and more emotional.
I'm just like... Utterly amazed that we're still alive at this point. Who'da thunk it....
He was dressed as the 420 Easter bunny...he looked like a walking anti-drug campaign.
Well I passed out before 4:20 on 4/20 so I deem it a failure AND a success.
My purpose is to unleash drunk self on strangers, i believe as some terrifying icebreaker, otherwise i too would offer my driving services.
College has done two things for me. Given me the confidence to blow my nose in public and shit in public
Sometimes I just want to kiss you without you pulling ur cock out and waving it at me
I think that all guys are assholes, some of them just have less assholeish qualities that we accept in our lives and that we can look past enough to deal. They have to be a pretty special asshole.
I may be going to Mexico. I just met a drug dealer at a strip club. Seems legit.
I need you to go into my room and get some pants then bring them and four band aids to Sam's apartment no questions
I feel like you're the reason public nudity is illegal and generally frowned upon in society
What guy invites over a booty call, gets all naked and then when the real fun begins and a condom is needed, claims to not have one? And wears socks THE entire time?
Right, try not to commit a felony that costs more than 4 dollars cause that's all I have in my bail jar.
Getting free blow from a total stranger, who asked permission to stroke my eyebrows, was the highlight of my evening out. Also, I have a new cuddle dealer.
You having your own car has severely reduced the amount of blowjobs I get.
I just tried to brush my hair with a can opener. Who gave you that brownie
I'm eating a subway sandwich in the bathtub because I don't want to move. God bless boys from Brooklyn
I like her because we want the same things out of life AND she actually wants to have sex with me.
Life is when you're laying naked in bed, eating Double Stuff Oreos with your boyfriend, blazed as fuck. Happy 4/20.
Look, you don't know disfunction until you've sat on the john taking a shit and crying while totally sober.
She had an asthma attack and had to stop but insisted on getting me off. It's official she's the one

Quantum Physics for Poetsby Leon M. Lederman

Quantum theory is the bedrock of contemporary physics and the basis of understanding matter in its tiniest dimensions and the vast universe as a whole. But for many, the theory remains an impenetrable enigma.

Quantum theory is the bedrock of contemporary physics and the basis of understanding matter in its tiniest dimensions and the vast universe as a whole. But for many, the theory remains an impenetrable enigma.
Now, two physicists seek to remedy this situation by both drawing on their scientific expertise and their talent for communicating science to the general reader. In this lucid, informative book, designed for the curious, they make the seemingly daunting subject of quantum physics accessible, appealing, and exciting.
Their story is partly historical, covering the many "Eureka" moments when great scientists—Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Schrödinger, and others—struggled to come to grips with the bizarre realities that quantum research revealed. Although their findings were indisputably proven in experiments, they were so strange and counterintuitive that Einstein refused to accept quantum theory, despite its great success.
The authors explain the many strange and even eerie aspects of quantum reality at the subatomic level, from "particles" that can be many places simultaneously and sometimes act more like waves, to the effect that a human can have on their movements by just observing them! Finally, the authors delve into quantum physics' latest and perhaps most breathtaking offshoots—field theory and string theory. The intricacies and ramifications of these two theories will give the reader much to ponder.
In addition, the authors describe the diverse applications of quantum theory in its almost countless forms of modern technology throughout the world. Using eloquent analogies and illustrative examples, this book renders even the most profound reaches of quantum theory understandable and something for us all to savor.

Physics for Poets, in its nicknamed meaning, has at its roots the deeper meaning of what some could see as an impossible rendition of what amounts to the deepest possible meaning to a topic seemingly impossible to comprehend. Physics IS poetry, whether you understand it or not. As is well known to those embedded in the search for what may be the impossible, creating a poetic rendition is the attempt to create a deeper meaning to the topic than the mathematical rendition itself. This book, as others prior, and even more current, attempts to create a meaning to the seemingly impossible, and, it DOES just that. Reading it seems to clarify, and at the same time, creates more questions as it attempts to answer others. At this level, quantum physics appears to be an impossible rendition to the basic elements of classical physics, and future attempts to answer those questions that appear to be impossible solution to the questions that have been near impossible to approach. Even when finding an answer to a deeper question, one is left with more questions than answers, yet, the meaning to the answers is where the poetry leaves one at rest; reaching for an answer, unfortunately seems to be an attempt at groping at near-impossible solutions to century old questions. Just knowing that one can identify at least partial answers is rewarding anough, and this book is a leader in finding such answers. Is physics for poets sufficient to leave the reader satisfied with what he/she has read? I believe so, for truly grasping at the intangible, and opening the doors to such a provoking topic is satisfying, particularly if the reader is willing to accept the near-impossibility of identifying answers that researchers have grasped for at least for two thousand years. A great read, and a greater insight into what we are surrounded by, at least when identifying that we still cant tell which way is up!

Today is December 7. This is a special day in our history, a definitional day, a day to pause and remember. On this day — "a day that will live in infamy" – the Empire of Japan attacked the United States armed forces gathered at Pearl Harbor. And on the other side of the world, December 7 was also a momentous day. The German drive on Moscow stalled — it happened at a place not far from the airport at Sheremetyevo that I drive past a couple of times each year, marked by a memorial composed of over-sized tank barriers. And in Berlin, faced with concern about the stalling effort and the approaching, life threatening Russian winter, Field Marshal Keitel issued the "Night and Fog Decree," one of the bloodiest and most disgusting documents of a war that challenged the conscience of the world. All of this occurred on a single day sixty-five years ago: December 7, 1941. For a generation of Americans, their lives changed, suddenly and dramatically. National security had been a lingering worry. Suddenly it became a matter that dominated and redirected their lives. Americans handled this challenge with a nobility and clarity of purpose that are worth thinking about today. I propose to do just that, for a simple reason: America needs to remember its history, its values and its legacy. In a world of 24/7 cable pseudo news channels, they have gone missing. And that loss cheapens the lives of every one of us.
In his first inaugural, Franklin Delano Roosevelt told us that "the only thing we have to fear… is fear itself." The Roosevelt presidency, and especially the conduct of the Second World War is the first proof of this statement. And in the last five years, Americans have lived through a second proof of it – if they only will open their eyes and see it. Those words sound simple to us today, and we need to remember the context in which they were uttered. As Roosevelt spoke, a shadow of totalitarianism had fallen across much of the world – fascism dominated the European continent and the rising Empire of Japan and communism covered the great Eurasian landmass that stretched in between them. These totalitarian regimes shared many common traits, and chief among them was the use of fear as a political tool. Fear was used to render the domestic populace silent and stupid. Fear was used to threaten and win concessions from the surviving democratic states on the periphery of the totalitarian swamp. Roosevelt understood the threat perfectly, and he understood that fear and the use of fear was the essential dividing line between the Western democracies and the totalitarian states. But somewhere along the line, this fundamental truth was forgotten in America.
In one of his earliest works, Edmund Burke tells us that fear is the hallmark of a despotic society. Fear is used to make a population stupid and subservient; it is used to chill the natural demand for the most basic of freedoms and liberties. A ruler who uses fear in this way deserves contempt, Burke wrote. One of the essential tools of fear is torture. Historical studies of the use of torture inevitably find that torture exists not as a device to gather intelligence, but as a tool to instill fear — to petrify, to silence. The Catechism of the Catholic Church understands this. It contains a single section addressing torture, and it is the same section which addresses terror used as a political tool. The Catechism teaches, and correctly understands, that torture is in its essence a tool for terrorizing a population.
This is why Roosevelt was explicit about fear as a tool, why Allied propaganda made clear that torture marked our adversaries, but not us. The Greatest Generation upheld our nation's ideals when it went to war. It understood the value of those ideals as weapons. It won the war. And then it did some real magic. By treating our adversaries as human beings, by showing them dignity and respect, our grandfathers' generation created a new world in the rubble of the Second World War. The nations which were our bitterest adversaries — Germany, Italy and Japan — emerged in the briefest time as our committed friends and allies. A world was born in which America was the dynamic center. And the foundation was laid to win the Cold War as well, after which America would emerge as the world's sole superpower, its direction-giving force.
Now I'd like you to use your imagination for a second. Let's assume the unthinkable: that America had embraced Mr. Bush's "Program" in the Second World War; that German, Italian and Japanese fighters had been waterboarded, subjected to the cold cell and techniques like "long time standing." Do any of you think for even a second that these nations would have been our allies and friends in the following generations? Think of how much darker, colder and more hate-filled our world would be than it is today.
I ask this question because this issue — the use of "coercive intelligence gathering techniques" — should be a matter of grave concern to everyone of us. But it has taken time for the question to be asked and discussed. And for that, I have a bone to pick with our media. By mid-2002, evidence began to collect that highly coercive techniques were being used in Guantanamo and in Afghanistan. A few brave souls reported on this — Dana Priest and a couple of her colleagues at the Washington Post were among the first, and there were stories in a handful of other newspapers. I have spent some time talking with print media reporters and editors about this process. What I learned was not encouraging. There was strong pushback from the beginning. Editors did not want to run these stories. Many stories were spiked. And when they ran, they were cut back and appeared buried deep inside the paper. Why? Journalists were under immense pressure at this point, from the Pentagon, the Administration and from the rightwing chorus that dominates much of the cable news world. Threats were raised: papers that report such matters are slandering our troops, it was said. They are undermining our combat morale. They are weakening our war effort. But my recapitulation here hardly does justice to the ferocity of some of these attacks. In sum what happened? The press was intimidated into a process of self-censorship.
I don't believe this process continued indefinitely, but some disturbing traces continue. In April 2004, the photographs that Joseph Darby circulated out of Abu Ghraib broke in The New Yorker and CBS's 60 Minutes, and a thaw began. The media discovered the issue, and quickly discovered that it had links with important policy decisions taken at the top of the Administration. Curiously, the media long gave equal billing to increasingly absurd explanations offered by Administration apologists. But with time they faded.
When we talk about torture today, Abu Ghraib seems a synonym. But this is deceptive. In fact all those wretched photos show is humiliation tactics. They are grim and disturbing. They make a mockery of standards laid down by George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. But they're hardly the worst of the tactics employed. Ninety-eight deaths occurred in detention in circumstances suggesting foul play. Perhaps two dozen of them can be linked pretty directly to torture. This includes severe beatings, waterboarding, and severe stress positions — curiously, all tactics that we associate with torture from the middle ages, definitional torture — as well as alternating extremes of heat and cold, long-term sleep deprivation. We can talk about these techniques in a clinical sort of way, but in the end it is a question of mixing and alternating, a question of destroying the human material in captivity, of destroying humanity.
The media had a role in this process — it was to keep us informed about what is being done in our name. For two years, the media failed us miserably. More recently it has started to make up for its failings. But the process by which the media was silenced is troubling, and it, too, is something we should think about.
The key tool used to silence the media was simple: the patriotism of journalists who wrote critical articles was systematically challenged. There is an irony about this that I find remarkably unsubtle. There is nothing unpatriotic about criticizing the use of highly coercive techniques. They have put Americans in uniform in grave risk — and they will continue to do so for a generation at least. They have done incalculable damage to our nation's honor and reputation. They have dramatically undermined our ability to be a moral leader in the world, to forge and sustain alliances — alliances which could save the lives of thousands of Americans in future conflicts. Our Founding Fathers understood these principles perfectly, which is why the notion of humane warfare were an essential part of the beacon they fashioned. So I ask you: who demonstrates patriotism today – the critics who stand fast by our foundational values? Or those who would ignore our traditions by reaching quickly for the base and the brutal? No real patriot today, no citizen who is concerned about the fate of our fellow citizens in uniform, can be silent on this issue.
A short time ago, in Germany, I spoke with one of the senior advisors of Chancellor Angela Merkel. I noted that a criminal complaint had been filed against Donald Rumsfeld and a number of others invoking universal jurisdiction for war crimes offenses. How would the chancellor see this, I asked? There was a long pause, and I fully expected to get a brush-off response. But what came was very surprising. "You must remember," said the advisor, "that my chancellor was born and raised in a totalitarian state. She cannot be indifferent to questions of this sort. In fact, she views them as matters of the utmost gravity and they will be treated that way. The Nuremberg process happened in my country. It was painful for us. But we absorbed it. It became a part of our legacy. An important part of our legacy. We will not forget it. But I have to ask you: why has your country forgotten?"
That is a question to reflect upon on this day, on December 7. The time has come to remember.
Remarks delivered at the Wolfson Center, New School University, New York City, Dec. 7, 2006
Post Script
I delivered these remarks last year, and we now assign to December 7 yet another meaning: On December 7, 2006, as I was speaking at the New School, Bush's Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, was acting to dismiss seven U.S. Attorneys as a part of a Rovian master plan for the politicization of the Justice Department. It was another sneak attack–this time against the Constitution, the Rule of Law and on one of the most important institutions of our Government, the Justice Department. It was simultaneously an attack on a group of federal prosecutors marked by integrity and zeal, and an attack on the concept of integrity as an aspect of the office of federal prosecutor. One year later, this attack has still not been repelled. December 7 is a day to commemorate American values, and especially one of the cherished Four Freedoms: the Freedom from Fear, and from politicians who would wield fear as a political tool. Happy Freedom from Fear Day.

In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

A life cut short and one lived for more than nine decades marked the Westford Academy graduation tonight in a ceremony that stirred mournful memories and joyful delight within minutes of each other.
The 411 members of the class of 2014 flung their mortarboards in the air and tossed beach balls just like every class before them. But this year, 94-year-old Genevieve Johnson of Westford finally earned her high school diploma, and the parents and brother of the late Katie Enos were handed an honorary diploma in her name. Had she lived, Enos would have been a member of this year's graduating class.
The ceremony began with an introduction by Principal James P. Antonelli who called Johnson to the podium to receive her diploma from her great-great grandson.
"Well, Genevieve," he said, "you have accomplished your mission, and all along, your message to our students was 'education is so important and critical to your success, stay in school.'"
With more than 98 percent of the class members going on to college, according to a list published by the WA Ghostwriter, that message has clearly been heard.
Their forthcoming departures were characterized as a marathon by class speaker Olivia Peterson.
"We all begin at the starting line today," she said. "We'll take off in a big clump, and then slowly start to disperse as we each find our own footing and our pace."
But missing from the pack will be Enos who was killed at age 14 in June 2010 after she was hit by a car while crossing Carlisle Road in Westford. She was a rising freshman bound for Westford Academy only two months later. Her parents Ed Enos and Marian McCurley, and her younger brother Max, walked to the podium to accept her diploma.
Three white balloons, released to honor Enos, floated toward a cloud, as her family walked back to their seats.
Superintendent Everett "Bill" Olsen reminded the graduating seniors of the importance of nurturing trusting relationships.
"Life is about human interaction," he said. "Value and cultivate your relationship with others."
Among the words of advice Olsen offered: "Be passionate about what you do. Passion separates great workers from good workers."
Both the class valedictorian, Katherine Whitney, and salutatorian, Seungjoo Lee, were characterized by Wendy Pechacek, director of guidance, as passionate about aspects of learning. Both are heading this fall to the University of California at Los Angeles, Pechacek said.
Johnson's educational adventure took her back to her hometown high school.
Page 2 of 2 - Johnson left Westford Academy at age 16 in 1936, 2.5 credits shy of earning her diploma. It was the Great Depression and she had gotten a factory job at the Abbot Worsted Mill in Westford to help out her family, Antonelli said. Johnson confided in Annette Cerullo, social worker at the town's Senior Center, that she dreamed of earning her diploma, Antonelli added. Cerullo contacted school administrators. Dean Betsy Murphy jumped into action, employing what Antonelli termed a "dream team" of seniors, Christina Caviston, Caroline Eliopoulos and Grace Gosselin, who took Johnson under their wing as their senior project. Johnson completed several courses over three weeks and state officials waived a graduation requirement that she take an assessment exam known as MCAS. More than a dozen members of Johnson's family attended the ceremony.
The ceremony ended with closing remarks by class president Akshay Bhardwaj, who quoted Winnie-the-Pooh, a beloved character created by A.A. Milne who authored a series of children's books.
"`How lucky I am to have something to make saying goodbye so hard,'" Bhardwaj said.

3 Things I Have Yet To DoApril 22, 2015
Currently, my bucket list consist of 10 foreign destinations I've been dying to travel to. And since they're at the top of the list, I've somehow forgotten to complete the three things at the very bottom of that list. Has that ever happened to you?
I thought I would've completed at least one of these things by now. Hey, real life happens. And instead of beating myself up about it, I've decided its time I check these items off my list. What's on that list you might ask…

How close are we to "quantom computing" and what does the term actually mean? (self.askscience)
submitted 3 years ago by [deleted]
I heard that one day a quantom computer will be invented, which allows for immense processing power - how does this work and is it going to be a "thing" in the foressiable future?
[–]TOMATO_ON_URANUS 1 point2 points3 points 3 years ago (0 children)
Computers work now by having "bits" (transistors) that are powered or not, translating to 1 or 0. Transistors are physical objects. While we're really good at making them tiny and fitting more in one spot, we think we can do better. Quantum computing is using the quantum states of atoms instead of physical transistors.

Alice M. Everitts
10/31/1925 - 10/5/2013
Long time Auburn, California resident Alice Everitts born October 31, 1925 in Long Beach, Calif., passed away peacefully in her sleep on October 5, 2013. She was the only child of her parents, Wilfred and Christine (Haugen) Morris. She spent almost her entire youth in Long Beach, except for the year 1935, when she was critically burned and was hospitalized for many months. As a teenager, she learned that she had 24 first cousins, and large Sunday dinners became a big part of her life. Her fondest memories as a child were days at the beach. Her love of the ocean never wavered and whenever she could, she found her way to the ocean.
During World War II she worked at the Naval Base on Terminal Island during the summers, and attended
after high school graduation. She was a member of Delta Zeta Sorority, and served as their president while there. The friends she made there have remained friends for her entire life. She met her husband, Don Everitts, on a blind date while there and they were married in 1948. They remained married until his death in 2006.
She worked at several different jobs; most of them involved children. Education was always extremely important to her, and she taught History and English for many years in Sacramento and then later in Long Beach. After receiving her Master's Degree in counseling, Alice became a school counselor with the Long Beach Unified School District. During all this time she was the proverbial "Swimmer's Mom" taking her children to daily swim workouts after work, and swim meets on the weekend.
While living in Auburn, she was active in her Book Club, AAUW, Delta Zeta friends, St. Luke's Episcopal and Daughters of the King. She also loved her work as a volunteer at Sutter Auburn Faith Hospital, where she spent many hours helping patients and staff.
After her retirement in 1989, she and Don moved to Auburn, Calif., so they could be closer to their home in Lake Tahoe. Many vacations, and eventually summers had been spent there, and being able to visit more often was wonderful for them. In their RV they could travel more freely, visiting their daughter and granddaughters in Arizona and to the ocean and redwoods on numerous trips with friends in California. During retirement Alice and Don made many exciting overseas trips with their group of friends from Lake Tahoe and were always excited before the trips, with many stories to tell when they returned. Hawaii was also a favorite destination, and she continued taking trips around the US until health prevented further travel.
Alice was preceded in death by her husband Don Everitts and is survived by her daughter Donna Hunt, son Don Everitts, Jr., granddaughters Jessica Pederson (Leo) and Heather Hunt, grandson Skyler Everitts, and great-granddaughters Kaleen Hunt, Novotny Pederson and Karina Pederson.
Services will be Tuesday, October 15, 2013 at 11 a.m. at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Auburn, Calif. The family is very grateful to Sutter Auburn Faith Hospice for the care provided to Alice in her last months of life, and in lieu of flowers, would appreciate donations to Hospice at 11775 Education Street, Suite 201, Auburn CA 95602. Services entrusted to Chapel of the Hills, Auburn.
