aandtsociety aquarium club marine species collecting trips
These March collecting trips have been very popular with our new members in particular.
Some had next to no fish in there tanks and some have started more tanks and others have lost most of the tank life because of power failures.
So we have all been very busy going on our collecting trips, not just for our own aquarium marine life, but because we also share some of what we get with each other.
One trip was just for tangs mainly, as one of the members wanted some variations of tangs, mainly some types of bristle tooth tangs and now he is amazed at the others he has seen, his wife is very keen now as well, as she had her first go at catching for there tank and has seen some of the species they would like to get,hopefully next time.
The pictures that follow are of four trips and the fish and inverts from those trips all together.
The BBQ boat trip was the main trip with quite a few clubbies on board for that one and even though the water wasnt very clear, we all had a ball and got plenty of life to share for all our tanks.
One or two spots we had been beaten to by the commercial guys there and some were areas were very bare as we were to late for them,who cares we still have fun and get something.
The BBQ boat trip was a little strange as we arrived around the time the juveniles were trying to set their territories and there were quite few nipped fins, plus they are now big enough to come out and have a look around and predators that before had not noticed them, do now!!
This happens every year at this time and never changes, but it settles down by around late May.
Than we will see who is the most predominant species for the year.
It looks a lot like the lion fishs year and that is bad, the last time that happened there were very few other shrimp and fish around after a while as the lion fish grew, come on commercial guys get rid of most them before the balance is completely disrupted.
These are our Mach trips.
There are videos from our trips at the end.
Firstly these are the spots we visited.
These are some of the species we collected over the month.
Videos for March.

Australia warns of fire danger as heat wave hits
By Amy Coopes, AFP January 15, 2014, 12:05 am TWN
SYDNEY -- Australian authorities warned Tuesday of some of the worst fire danger since a 2009 inferno which killed 173 people, with most of the continent's southeast sweltering through a major heat wave.
Victoria state, where the so-called Black Saturday firestorm flattened entire villages in 2009 and destroyed more than 2,000 homes, was again bracing for extreme fire weather.
"These next four days promise to be amongst the most significant that we have faced in Victoria since Black Saturday," said acting state premier Peter Ryan.
Tens of thousands of firefighters were on standby, and 1,290 brigades were in a "state of high preparedness," he added, with the peak danger day expected on Friday when very strong winds are forecast.
Two separate grass-fires tested crews early at Little River, west of Melbourne, and Kangaroo Ground to the east.
The flames raced out of control and triggered brief emergency alerts before water-bombing aircraft and engine teams managed to bring them under control.
There were also blazes alight in neighboring South Australia state.
Victoria and South Australia are preparing this week for what forecasters are describing as "severe to extreme heat wave conditions," with successive days of temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius expected.
A similar heat wave struck before the 2009 fires, Australia's worst natural disaster of the modern era in terms of casualties. An estimated 374 people died during the preceding heat wave, with another 173 fatalities in the firestorm itself.
If the forecasts come to pass, Melbourne will endure its longest stretch of hot weather in 100 years.
Road tar was melting in southern Tasmania, with temperatures in the island state some 18 degrees above the January average, breaking several records.
On Tuesday, players at the Australian Open were sweltering.
A ball boy collapsed and water bottles melted on court as the mercury soared above 40 degrees Celsius.
Experts said the outlook had echoes of 2009.
"The forecast weather patterns are quite reminiscent of conditions before Black Saturday, with severe and expansive high temperatures across the southern part of the continent and the presence of low pressure cells on either side of the country in the tropics," said bushfire specialist Jason Sharples from the University of New South Wales in Canberra.

Walkthrough part 12
EditRock Band 2 Walkthrough
|Expert GuitarWalkthrough
|Expert DrumWalkthrough
|"Where'd You Go?" by Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Now, if you take the stylings of "Give It All," slow 'em down, and throw in a dash of ska seasoning, this is what you get. For the first and second halves of this track—bridges aside—you'll see a constant flow of repeating notes, followed by two notes together. That's right: the finger-tapping—not to be confused with HOPO tapping—has returned. The challenge doesn't, or at least, it's absent until the very end of the song. Because of that, you can use your Overdrive freely.
|Should You Practice?
|Yes, just to ensure that you won't fail out at the very end. "GTR Solo B" is the previously-mentioned, hard-as-heck ending, and you'll wanna learn it. That aside, any verse and chorus will reveal what the rest of the song has to offer; you don't need to practice them all.
|"Come Out and Play (Gotta Keep 'Em Separated)" by The Offspring
The last song was an apology for its predecessor, and we hope you enjoyed it while it lasted, because "Come Out and Play" isn't sorry for anything. Getting right back into the rough stuff, you'll be using your pointer, middle, and ring fingers the most here. This is another track that constantly goes from lo-hi and back again, but that's the most it throws at you.
|Should You Practice?
|Without any solos or otherwise nasty parts to speak of, "Come Out and Play's" strength is in its choruses and verses. Learn any of them, and you've secured the win.
|"Everlong" by Foo Fighters
The last several songs have been using similar patterns, which you've likely noticed by now. "Everlong" continues that trend during its introduction, and then introduces you to its big brother, the green + blue to green + orange pattern. You'll boldly stretch like you've never stretched before, and that's about it. Be glad the guitar on this isn't nearly as challenging as its drum track!
|Should You Practice?
|Yes. Load up any verse, main riff, and chorus, and you'll be good to go.
|"Pinball Wizard" by The Who
Although this track continues the L-pattern, it ups the ante further by mixing some speed strumming in. That might not scare you, and if it doesn't, you haven't tried this one yet. Learning the rhythm and keeping in time with the beats is absolutely essential here, as without that knowledge, you might over-strum and lose pace.
|Should You Practice?
|Undeniably, yes. Use "Verse 2" to learn the beat. That's all you'll need, as every difficult component of the song is essentially a repeat of that. Be glad that the rest are gimmes!
|"Rob the Prez-O-Dent" by That Handsome Devil
When it starts off with a constant flow of HOs and POs, you realize how unique this song is. You'll have to get its galloping pattern down ASAP, since variations of it persist throughout the track. While the bridge and solo in "Rob the Prez-O-Dent" are legitimately challenging, they aren't very long. Considering, you should use your Overdrive whenever you're in need of it.
|Should You Practice?
|Yes. Use the "Intro" to practice the above-mentioned gallop, then go after the "Bridge" and "GTR Solo."
|Give us feedback!

Re: Drive Zabljak to Sarajevo
From Pivsko Jezero you just go to Bosnian border - Šćepan Polje. When you enter Bosnia, you have 15 km of narrow road, and after that you are on the main road from east Bosnia to Sarajevo (about 100 km). In a hour and a half you are in the capital, passing through one canyon, one mountain with a few sharp bend, another canyon and you are in the city. Google is not quite precise about it :)
Re: Drive Zabljak to Sarajevo
Thank you for your answer. What, in your opinion, is the most scenic route from Niksic to Sarajevo?
Be the first to rate this answer!
Re: Drive Zabljak to Sarajevo
My suggestion is to take this route: Niksic - Pluzine - Brod (here turn left for 15 km or less and visit Tjentiste, national park and partizan monument from WW2). Turn back to Brod and continue to Miljevina - Dobro Polje - Trnovo - Sarajevo. If you like some offroad experience then the alternative is after Dobro Polje turn left to Kalinovik - Hotovlje - Argud - Ljuta - Sinanovići - Babin Do - Igman - Sarajevo. This alternative should be checked immediately before start

We were absolutely delighted with the cricket balls. They did look great and they were very well received. Please feel free to ignore my comments but we put each cricket ball in a black box (with a ribbon round the box) before we presented them to the Best men and the Dads. It finished off the look nicely. You might want to consider that as part of your offering.

Christianity for the Twenty-first Century?
Full Product Description
Here is a refreshing look at the drama of Christianity, presented for our times in an accessible 'textbook' format, full of useful advice and answers to some of the dilemmas contained in the Gospels. Revisiting the scriptural accounts of Jesus' life and ministry, Ronald Brech's approach is pragmatic. He uses his working experience in information analysis to examine the Gospels, assert Jesus' Resurrection on the evidence provided and proclaim it as 'the triumph of justice and love over the Establishment'. Can we really lead lives of love and unselfishness amid today's materialism? In the cut and thrust of the workplace? These issues, and the fundamental problem of man's purpose and evolution, form the basis of this uplifting and enlightening work.
Christianity for the Twenty-first Century? by Ronald Brech was published by Athena Press Ltd in November 2008 and is our 51698th best seller. The ISBN for Christianity for the Twenty-first Century? is 9781847483997.

All American Rejects to Play Free Devilpalooza Show
All American Rejects
It's no "Dirty Little Secret" : Pop-punk band All American Rejects will be performing on ASU campus this Friday, February 10.
Last time I saw All American Rejects live, the were warming up for Blink-182's in 2009, along with Fall Out Boy. The band is back with a brand new album, Kid's in the Street, set for release on March 26, 2012 .
Listening to the the album's first single, "Beekeeper's Daughters," I don't hear much change in the band's trademark pop-rock sound. That's a good thing. It gets annoying when bands don't stick to their original roots, because that's usually what the band is best at, and often what their audience wants to hear. The All American Rejects style is still the same -- only they look just a little older than what most screaming middle school and high school girls remember.
The band is performing as part of Devilpalooza, a yearly concert put on by ASU's Programming and Activities Board. This year All American Rejects will perform with special guest, Wallpaper, and Campus Rail Jam Wakeboarding will be going down as well.
Devilpalooza 2011 was a lot of fun with performances by The Maine, fun. and Motion City Soundtrack. Compared to last year's packed lineup, this year looks a little less exciting, but perhaps 'The Rejects will pack enough energy into their set to measure up to last year's party.

One of the best way to keep your kids happy is to put them on the ground next to a pile of Legos. Now you can do that from within their mobile device! Race along in you Lego vehicle and collect points as you go. It's a roarin' Lego of a good time for the kids.
This game is great for the little ones, and should hold their attention for a reasonable amount of time. The controls are simple and responsive and the animations are smooth, with good frame rates and decent renderings.
It froze once and required a restart, so you may need a powerful device to get full functionality. The graphics are a little ho hum for a Lego game. It could use a building option or sandbox mode.

"Xanadu" is the title song from the soundtrack album Xanadu, and is the title song from the 1980 film of the same name. The song is performed by the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and Olivia Newton-John. Newton-John sings the primary vocals, with ELO lead singer Jeff Lynne adding "parenthetic" vocals in the style of their other songs on the Xanadu soundtrack, along with providing the instrumentation.
The single reached number one in several countries, and was the band's only UK number one single,[1] when it peaked there for two weeks in July 1980. It was certified as "silver" by the British Phonographic Industry.[2] The song peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US.[3]

Cutting Fossil Fuel Subsidies Can Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions Says UN Environment Report
August 29, 2008 11:25 AM - UNEP
Scrapping fossil fuel subsidies could play an important role in cutting greenhouse gases while giving a small but not insignificant boost to the global economy a new report by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) says. The report challenges the widely held view that such subsidies assist the poor arguing that many of these price support systems benefit the wealthier sections of society rather than those on low incomes.

Drinking Water of 41 Million Americans Contaminated with Pharmaceuticals
August 26, 2008 09:08 AM - , Organic Consumers Association
An investigation by the Associated Press (AP) has revealed that the drinking water of at least 41 million people in the United States is contaminated with pharmaceutical drugs. It has long been known that drugs are not wholly absorbed or broken down by the human body. Significant amounts of any medication taken eventually pass out of the body, primarily through the urine.
Wasted Food Is Also Wasted Water
August 22, 2008 09:17 AM - , The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD)
The world's growing food crisis -- which triggered riots and demonstrations in over 30 developing nations early this year -- is being aggravated primarily by wastage and overconsumption. "Obesity is a much bigger problem than undernourishment," said Professor Jan Lundqvist of the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI).

We are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, which is also leading to an epidemic of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Approximately half the heritability of diabetes susceptibility is due to genetic variation. Recent human genetic studies suggest that human diabetes is polygenic and that genes that contribute to diabetes susceptibility primarily affect ?-cell function rather than insulin action. The relationship between obesity and T2D exhibits the following dichotomy, which is at the heart of the diabetes field: >80% of people with T2D are obese and insulin resistant. However, most obese people do not develop T2D. This obesity/diabetes dichotomy was replicated in mice by studying two mouse strains (C57BL/6 &BTBR) that differ in diabetes induced by obesity. An F2 was created between the two strains and several quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling plasma glucose and insulin were mapped to high resolution, thereby identifying the genes underlying the QTLs. Tomosyn-2 is a major gene contributing to diabetes susceptibility of the BTBR mouse strain. The preliminary data show that Tomosyn-2 is an inhibitor of insulin secretion. The project has identified phosphorylation sites on Tomosyn-2 that are responsive to insulin secretagogues, and a SNP that affects the stability of the Tomosyn-2 protein. The overall hypothesis to be tested is that Tomosyn-2 imposes a break on insulin secretion that is relieved by secretagogue-induced signaling pathways. This hypothesis will be tested by pursuing four specific aims: 1) to identify the signaling pathways and phosphorylation sites involved in regulating Tomosyn-2;2) to elucidate the mechanistic consequences of Tomosyn-2 phosphorylation;3) to elucidate the mechanism by which Tomosyn-2 regulates insulin granule exocytosis;and 4) to discover the role of Tomosyn-2 interacting partners in the regulation of insulin secretion. An innovative feature of the work is that it studies an allelic variant with disrupted regulation. These studies will elucidate how beta cells prevent hypoglycemia by imposing a brake on insulin secretion and how this brake is lifted in response to insulin secretagogues. It will identify pathways that when disrupted can lead to increased susceptibility to obesity-induced type 2 diabetes.
The study of insulin secretion has focused on the mechanisms by which nutrients are sensed and recruit the exocytotic apparatus to release insulin into the bloodstream. Our discovery that subtle genetic variation of a protein that blocks insulin secretion can raise glucose levels establishes that negative regulation of insulin secretion is physiologically important, and that disruption of this regulation can contribute to tye 2 diabetes.

My soldiers sleep so silently, and I think of their strength
One day when they go into war, will they be wide awake?
Tapping lightly on the door, I rouse them from their rest
"Hot food is waiting in the mess hall! Time that you get dressed!"
Even in their sluggish waking, they seem so full of life
Running off to wash and brush, their spirits young and bright
My soldiers, fed their hearty meals, are off to face the day
Of training, for the mind and body. Perhaps even to play
They love to play, but soon I know they will be called to war
How I can not worry, knowing nothing that's in store?
Even still, I'll play along to see their smiles glow
Remembering that love is what will win their war, I know
My soldiers come back sore and sticky, but still with work to do
Of course I'll lend a hand when needed, answer a question or two
Then I'll feed them once again, and let them take a rest
Holding them, reminding them that I think they're the best
Everything I do for them, all the prayers and tears.
Reflect my deepest love for them - my soldiers. My dears.

A beautiful reminder of what mothers have to face with children in the army. I have a brother in the RAF so this resonates well. I really like it, although perhaps a little more emotive language might convey the point more strongly?
I'm glad you liked it :)
I was trying to use the "army" as more of a metaphor for growing up, not about actual war. I wanted to show the need for good mothers and that all the care and worry that a mother goes through for her children is key in preparing them for adulthood, when they will have to face their own "battles" so to speak.
I wrote this piece very quickly because I wanted to put something down for Mother's Day, but I will go over it one day and probably change the wording and formatting so that it delivers a clearer message :)
Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

Mrs Crimbles Cheese Bites is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by WEZER from PERFECT These are a perfect snack the nearest things to potato puffs we used to have when i were a kid
Date published: 2015-06-22
Rated 2 out of 5 by SACM from Not the strongest Sour Cream and Onion taste out there, but possibly one of the worst after-tastes. There's an unusual, thin, crumbly texture to these, which makes them feel pretty weird in your mouth. They're baked rather than fried, which is good, but they're perhaps too thin and so this makes them feel and taste bad. Also, they're very fragile. If you're ordering these for delivery then expect them to get broken up in transit.

Watch Man with the Screaming Brain
"He's losing their minds"
This picture tells the horrific story of a man who wanted to combine together two separate human beings into one. The story follows a mad scientist whose next experiment has been deemed by many as insane and impossible. He has decided to find two different human beings, get a hold of their brains and combine them to make a freak of nature. He decides to use the brains of a Russian taxi driver and wealthy businessman. When combined into one individual, the stunning figure proves to be nothing short of horrific and chaotic. This new monster that has just been unleashed on the world has little regard for human life.

There are a variety of courses across all disciplines —both core and elective— that incorporate the principles of social value creation into Smith pedagogy. As the social value creation space develops we help Smith stay ahead of the curve by delivering fresh and relevant content. Have an idea for a new course? Let us know – we are happy to hear from you.
BMGT 389E: Maryland Social Entrepreneur Corps
Faculty: Sara Herald
The Maryland Social Entrepreneur Corps (MSEC) is a dynamic international internship program for undergraduate students to combat poverty in Latin America by supporting small community-based businesses. This unique study and internship program teaches the basic principles of social entrepreneurship through courses, case studies, discussions, and hands-on, practical experience. By applying skills learned in the classroom such as needs and feasibility analyses, effective marketing techniques, the fundamentals of accounting, persuasive communication, and more, MSEC students empower local organizations and small businesses through targeted consulting engagements. Students also learn to implement the micro-consignment model, a unique form of social entrepreneurship that incurs no risk for the entrepreneur and ensures that the consumers are provided with access to essential products, technologies and services, such as energy efficient stoves, solar-powered lamps, water filtration systems, and eyeglasses. Learn more.
HONR248R : Sustainability Solutions Business Lab
Faculty: Rachelle Sampson
Environmental and their related social problems present some of the most significant issues facing society and business today. Accelerated depletion of natural resources, deforestation, dwindling water supplies, increased waste accumulation and climate change all pose challenges for the current generation to solve. While government policy is part of the solution to these issues, private solutions that harness the power and speed of capitalist markets may present some of the fastest and most effective change. This seminar is designed to give students tools for solving sustainability related problems through companies (whether for or not for profit). In this seminar, we begin with a discussion of the underlying economics and market failures that have led to many of the environmental problems we currently face. With an understanding of the issues, students then develop a business plan for a new idea whose main objective is to solve a sustainability related problem.
BMGT 289A: Social Enterprise – Changing the World through Innovation and Transformative Action
Faculty: Halley Aelion
Thousands of individuals are inventing creative new approaches to social change, the tools of business to build lasting solutions. Where do social entrepreneurs come from? How do they develop their passion for changing the world? Can anyone become a social entrepreneur? This course looks at the history and theory of social change, reviews the skills, strategies, and ideas of effective change agents and gives students the tools to create a blueprint for their ideas for social transformation.
BMGT289K: Giving Voice To Values (not offered every semester)
Faculty: Brian Nelson
Giving Voice to Values ("GVV") provides students with an effective way of identifying their personal values and, more importantly, giving expression to those values in their present and future individual and group commitments and conduct. Background in cutting-edge medical and psychological research on the nature of "happiness" at the beginning of the course give way to each student's detailed reflections (shared in small groups of students) on the meaning to his or her personal histories, relationships and aspirations – together with insights into the personal histories, relationships and aspirations of other students. The course concludes with a series of real-life mini-cases involving undergraduate university students or recent graduates.
BMGT 468U: Social Entrepreneurship Laboratory
Faculty: Christine Beckman, Sara Herald
The class will give students the opportunity to experiment with the essential principles of social entrepreneurship. The Social Entrepreneurship Laboratory will be an active learning environment to test hypotheses around the creation of social ventures and develop a deep understanding of the field in practice. Teams will iteratively test ideas and assumptions through experimentation, document results, incorporate feedback from key stakeholders, develop a minimum viable product, and present their solutions. In this way, we expect novel insights and truly creative models to emerge.The primary learning tool for this class will be experiments conducted in teams around solving a particular social problem.
BMGT 468V: Transformative Action – Effective Methods for Social Change
(Part of the Social Innovation Fellows Program)
Faculty: David Kirsch
This course introduces students to the most effective methods of social change by looking at the social entrepreneurs, innovators and visionaries who are coming up with new methods of solving society's problems. Students examine traditional methods of activism as well as a new theory of nonviolent social change called "transformative action." The first few weeks of the course introduce the students to many case studies, and then the course reviews the skills, strategies, and ideas of effective social change advocates in the 21st century. Each student develops an original blueprint for social innovation: a creative proposal for solving a societal problem based on their interest.
BMGT 468W: Social Innovation Practicum
(Part of the Social Innovation Fellows Program)
Faculty: David Kirsch
Working in teams of four or five, students immerse themselves in a social issue of common concern through a service practicum with a nonprofit organization or social enterprise. Student projects are developed in partnership with the organizations but the goal of the practicum is two-fold: 1) help the organizations develop a new entrepreneurial service or program to address a specific pressing social need in the community, and 2) provide students with a deep understanding of the root causes of a particular social issue and how such issues can be best addressed through entrepreneurial action.
BMGT478B: Special Topics in Supply Chain Management; Green Supply Chain (not offered every semester)
Faculty: Taylor Wilkerson
This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to current and future best practices, approaches and technologies in the area of sustainable supply chain management - "green" supply chain. The course will focus on supply chain sustainability from the environmental stewardship perspective. As such, it will focus on energy, environment, waste and resource management; it will NOT focus on human/social sustainability (e.g., labor/human resource management practices). Students will have the opportunity to meet and learn from green supply chain practitioners as well as design their own green supply chain operation.
BMGT 496: Business Ethics and Society
Faculty: Brian Nelson
This course emphasizes a strategic approach by business to the management of its external environment. Students engage in a study of the standards of business conduct, morals and values as well as the role of business in society with consideration of the sometimes conflicting interests of and claims on the firm and its objectives.
BUSI 758N Strategic Management for Nonprofit & Public Organizations
Faculty: Rob Sheehan
Meets Term A & B in College Park
Serving as a successful leader for a nonprofit or public organization of any kind requires an understanding of the strategic management process and a well-developed and managed strategy is a key to an organization's performance. This course provides an integrated approach to leadership theories and concepts, research, and modern practices related to strategic planning and execution. Leading strategy approaches will be discussed and students will gain a deep understanding of how strategy can be effectively developed, implemented, and managed in these organizations. The course will be relevant for students who want to work for and/or consult with nonprofit and government organizations. Course cross-listed as PUAF 689Z.
BUAC 758A: Accounting For Social Value In Corporate America
Faculty: Samuel Handwerger
Meets Term A in Baltimore
This course surveys American companies and their efforts to raise their standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency. First, the course will focus on for-profit companies: How they establish their corporate structure and governance to achieve these goals. Then the course will discuss the quintessential social value company -The almost uniquely American invention of the nonprofit charitable organization. As such, the course will serve as an introduction to the formation and operation of a nonprofit entity. Emphasis will be placed on the legal rules and environment within which these entities exist. Topics will include: organizational requirements, gaining and maintaining tax-exemption, board governance and stewardship, issues of private inurement, and public charities versus private foundations. The course concludes with the study of the joint venturing of for-profit and non-profit organizations, the so-called hybrid entity.
BUMO 758D: Social Entrepreneurship
Faculty: James Sanders
Meets Term B in Washington DC
This course is about using entrepreneurial skills to craft innovative responses to social problems. Entrepreneurs are particularly good at recognizing opportunities, exploring innovative approaches, mobilizing resources, managing risks, and building viable enterprises. These skills are just as valuable in the social sector as they are in business. Social entrepreneurship applies to both profit and non-profit firms who have programs designed to create social value. The key issues today are measuring social impact, impact investment, and the blurring lines between social, public, and private sector.
BUMO 758A: Strategic Growth for Emerging Social and Commercial Ventures
Faculty: Jonathan Aberman
Meets Term C in Washington DC & Term D in Shady Grove
This course explores the key elements of mastering the move from being a successful small entrepreneurial enterprise to achieving industry significance, whether as a for profit, not for profit or blended model. The challenge of converting innovation into a lasting and sustainable business model must be met by any venture, whether the customer is society, donors, stockholders or consumers. Supplemented by readings, video and guest speakers, the course highlights the application of practical lessons leading to strategic growth and subsequent emergence as a player, and allows students to see the many facets of strategy, organizational development and growth as they specifically relate to scaling an entrepreneurial enterprise.
BULM 758F: Sustainability: Economics & Strategy
Faculty: Rachelle Sampson
Meets Term D in College Park
Sustainability issues facing firms are multi-faceted and, in most cases, without clear strategic solutions. The goal of this course is to better understand the issues of sustainability in a series of different contexts. Within each context, we examine the underlying market failures that lead to sub-optimal social outcomes along with commonly employed economic solutions to these problems. This course is designed to give you tools for solving sustainability related problems through firms (whether for or not for profit).
BUSI 758L: Managers in society: Ethical leadership
Faculty: Shreevardhan Lele
Meets Term D in Washington DC
This course examines the responsibilities of the manager in today's market-oriented globalized society. In doing so, we present a specific conception of ethical leadership. In the first three weeks, we establish a framework that borrows from the fields of ethics (moral philosophy as well as moral psychology) and political economy. In the next three weeks, we apply this framework to examine managerial responsibilities to a variety of stakeholder groups. In the last week, we examine the ability of corporate governance systems to meaningfully bear ethical responsibilities and the consequent implications for the socio-political system.
Social Innovation
Faculty: Christine Beckman
Meets Summer 2018 in Washington DC
How do you make a difference, while also making a living? What are the promising opportunities for emerging business leaders to take on the world's social and environmental challenges? This course offers tools to help you identify those opportunities and pursue them effectively. Whether you seek to become a change agent in the context of a traditional corporate career – or whether you aim to start a new venture for that purpose – there are common methods that can help you make a positive impact on the world. This course introduces you to those methods, and also provides a forum for testing and critically evaluating them.
Assessing and Managing the Sociopolitical Environment
Faculty: Bennet Zelner
Meets Summer 2018 in Washington DC
This class focuses on the assessment and management of business risks and opportunities arising in the sociopolitical environment. The sociopolitical environment consists of the institutions of government—the legislative, executive, legal, regulatory, and other formal structures that govern the promulgation and implementation of public policies—as well as the culturally-influenced norms, values, and beliefs that influence which business practices are deemed legitimate and acceptable by various stakeholder groups, and which ones are not.
Classes offered through the School of Public Policy
PUAF 798Y: Nonprofit Management
Faculty: Angela Bies
Meets Term A & B in College Park
This course provides an introduction to the nonprofit sector and the leadership and management skills required to achieve a social impact. During the semester, students examine and discuss the trends, issues, and challenges facing a nonprofit leader as well as management approaches and innovations by examining case studies and engaging in management simulations. The course includes the opportunity to conduct a mini-consulting project with a nonprofit or nongovernmental organization.
PUAF 689Y: Nonprofit Fundraising
Faculty: Robert Grimm & Robert Sheehan
Meets Term C & D in College Park
Stemming from the disciplines of economics, psychology and sociology, this course explores the theoretical understandings of fundraising for nonprofit organizations and how they are applied to the practice of raising voluntary support. Students will also investigate different theoretical paradigms in which scholars and scholar-practitioners can approach the study and practice of fundraising. Additionally, students will discover the fundraising theories and practices that engage communities across diverse social identities including, communities of color, LGBT, and gender.

Distributed Probabilistic Network Traffic Measurements
Measuring the per-flow traffic in large networks is very challenging due to the high performance requirements on the one hand, and due to the necessity to merge locally recorded data from multiple routers in order to obtain network-wide statistics on the other hand. The latter is nontrivial because traffic that traversed more than one measurement point must only be counted once, which requires duplicate-insensitive distributed counting mechanisms. Sampling-based traffic accounting as implemented in today's routers results in large approximation errors, and does not allow for merging information from multiple points in the network into network-wide total traffic statistics.

On the Relevancy of Modigliani and Miller to Banking: A Parable and Some Observations
Paul C. Pfleiderer
Stanford Graduate School of Business
December 17, 2010
Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University Working Paper No. 93
Discussions of bank capital regulation are often clouded by fundamental misunderstandings about how the insights presented over 50 years ago by Modigliani and Miller (M&M) relate to bank funding and the cost of bank equity. The claim is often made that banks are special and that the M&M insights do not apply in the banking context. This claim is misleading and false. The M&M insights, when properly interpreted, do apply to this discussion. These insights show that any analysis of capital regulation must be focused on how capital regulation rules affect the various frictions associated with funding and how this affects the social costs and benefits associated with the funding of banks. This short paper presents a parable that explains the relevance of M&M to banks and makes several observations about the errors and incorrect arguments that result when M&M insights are not properly recognized.

Once you're feeling the pain, apply a cold compress for the first day or two, use an Ace bandage if there's swelling, and take ibuprofen (if it's too tough on your stomach, try acetaminophen). Give your aching muscles a rest for a few days too. The pain may get worse before it gets better, but if you're still hurting after three or four days, see a doctor. It could be a more serious injury.

The Alternative Medicine Doc
Improving lymphatic flow will help prevent muscle soreness. Foods rich in bioflavonoids, such as green, leafy vegetables and green tea, can help, as can staying hydrated (drink 8 to 12 glasses of water a day). Increasing your flexibility with yoga and stretching exercises will also help.

The Acupuncturist
An acupuncturist will try to bring blood flow to the area to relieve the pain. He may do this with acupuncture, electrical stimulation, topical herbs or even acupressure. These techniques can cut the pain and soreness in half.

The Rolfer
Rolfing is a form of deep connective tissue manipulation, so we work on the muscles and the tissues connecting them. It's often used to treat chronic pain but may also help with soreness after exercise, especially if your regular workout routine includes repetitive motions (riding a bike, running). Both massage and Rolfing can help ease the ache by stimulating circulation to the muscles.

Bottom Line
Gently stretch a sore muscle. Though tender at first, it will relax the tension so the rest of the day is more comfortable. Plus, you prevent injury from inadvertently pulling a tight muscle as you lunge to answer the phone. Take ibuprofen or aspirin right after a workout that might cause soreness, to prevent inflammation that leads to pain.

Some people like to travel by train because it combines the slowness of a car with the cramped public exposure of an airplane.

I think my pilot was a little inexperienced. We were sitting on the runway, and he said, "OK, folks, we're gonna be taking off in a just few—whoa! Here we go."
