Buffett's Curveball in Tax-Inversion Debate
Warren Buffett has put himself in a sticky situation.
The billionaire investor, a public advocate for higher taxes on the wealthy, stepped into one of the more controversial tax-related debates by backing Burger King World $11 billion deal to buy Tim Hortons The deal is a so-called tax inversion that would move Miami-based Burger King's headquarters to lower-tax Canada.
Mr. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is putting $3 billion into the Burger King deal through preferred shares. Both Burger King and its owner, Brazilian private-equity firm 3G Capital, touted this week's deal for growth opportunities as opposed to tax benefits.
Still Mr. Buffett has been the public face of the push for higher taxes on the rich. In 2011, he wrote an op-ed in the New York Times entitled "Stop Coddling the Super Rich," which led President Barack Obama to label such tax-fairness principles as the "Buffett Rule."
Mr. Buffett's role in the Burger King deal "further complicates the political messaging and tactics of the White House on inversions and their midterm campaign theme of economic patriotism," said Chris Krueger, a senior political analyst at Guggenheim Partners' Washington Research Group.
"The fact that the Administration's poster child for tax fairness is now financing a proposed deal that the Administration has previously attacked for lacking patriotism and for loophole exploitation only reinforces how contrived and politically disjointed this issue has become for the White House," Mr. Krueger said.
The debate over tax inversions has been a hot topic in Washington all summer. President Obama has urged Congress to stop them through quick-fix legislation and U.S. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew has called for American companies to show some "economic patriotism."
Despite the calls for action, legislation appears unlikely to pass soon. Republicans view a short-term fix skeptically, believing it could worsen U.S. firms' competitive position and encourage more foreign takeovers. For lawmakers of both parties, it also could steal momentum from the push for a broad overhaul of the tax code.
"This proposed Burger King deal will not whet the appetite for any bipartisan legislative fix on inversions," Mr. Krueger said. "The Administration is on very shaky policy and political ground with this issue."
He said there is "a less than 10% probability" of any meaningful anti-inversion legislation being passed into law this year.
"We believe that any Administrative executive action on inversions will be delayed until after it becomes clear that the legislative path is closed in September – and that any executive action will be relatively symbolic and lacking serious teeth," he said.

Frank Giustra, President Bill Clinton's Close Colleague, Joins US Oil Sands Board
Steve Horn | October 7, 2013
By Steve Horn • Monday, October 7, 2013 - 18:01
Frank Giustra - key power broker and close colleague of former President Bill Clinton - has taken a seat on the Board of Directors of U.S. Oil Sands, an Alberta-based company aiming to develop tar sands deposits in Utah's Uintah Basin. **UPDATE: Although he was named a prospective appointee to the Board, Mr. Giustra ultimately declined the position, citing "other commitments."**
U.S. Oil Sands - in naming several new members to its Board - also announced it has received $80 million in "strategic financing" from Blue Pacific Investments Group Ltd., Anchorage Capital Group, L.L.C. and Spitfire Ventures, LLC.
The funding will help get the ball rolling on "tar sands south," a miniature but increasingly controversial version of its big brother to the north, the Alberta tar sands. Giustra will likely help in opening the right doors for tar sands industry interests in the United States.
Giusta is best known for his work in the worlds of uranium mining and minerals mining, though he has dabbled in the Alberta tar sands finance world once before, lending upwards of $20 million in capital to Excelsior Energy. He serves as CEO and President of Fiore Financial Corporation.
Founder and Director of the Radcliffe Foundation and Co-Director of the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (formerly known as the Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative), Frank Giustra has maintained close ties with Bill Clinton since 2005.
The Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative is an arm of the Bill, Hillary, and Chelsea Clinton Foundation (the Clinton Foundation). Giustra sits on the Clinton Foundation's Board of Trustees.

Bright blue, pink, green and yellow pinwheels dotted the lawn of Midvale Middle School in celebration of International Day of Peace and as part of a project called Pinwheels for Peace.
"We are an [International Baccalaureate] world school," said Paula Logan, principal of Midvale Middle. "We're looking for things to help us with that idea of internationalism, realizing that we're a part of the world."
Pinwheels for Peace is an art and literacy project started by two teachers in Coconut Creek, Fla., in 2005: Ann Ayers and Ellen McMillan came up with the idea for students to express their feelings in words and art about peace and tolerance.
Students were asked to write their thoughts about peace on one side of the pinwheel and draw, paint or collage on the other side to represent their feelings visually to display on Sept. 21.
"They were really excited for the opportunity to express their own ideas," Logan said.
The finished products were attached to pencils and planted in the ground by students. The idea was that as the pinwheels whirled in the wind, the students' thoughts and feelings will spread throughout the community, the country and eventually the world.
"I think everybody is searching for how they belong to the world," Logan said. "Even if we're making a small pinwheel, it's a way to bring joy to someone and spread peace."
Midvale Middle was authorized as an International Baccalaureate world school this summer. Logan said that a point of education is to help students understand their parts in the world and make it a better place.
"We try to help the kids have more of a global perspective," said Kelly Tauteoli, assistant principal.
By participating in Pinwheels for Peace, Midvale Middle School becomes part of an international project that spans the globe from North America to Europe, Asia and more. According to the project's website, more than 3.5 million pinwheels spun globally on Sept. 21, 2011, in more than 35,000 locations.
Shelley Allen, IB program coordinator at Midvale Middle, came across the project and thought it would be a good activity for the students.
"At first, I wasn't sure if they would think pinwheels would be too kiddish," she said.
The responses she saw reinforced the idea that something so simple can help kids to gain appreciation not just for world peace but also for living in a diverse world.
"A part of being an IB school is we want to open their minds to see that people can be different, but we can still get along," she said.
She observed how excited the students were to be a part of an international effort, seeing their school listed as one of many in the world with the same vision.
"They did take a lot of pride in it," she said.
The creativity ranged from very simple pinwheels with just the word "peace" written on them to some decked out with smiley faces, hearts, stars and flags. One pinwheel in particular was filled with writing that began, "Peace means expanding your mind to include new ideas, concepts, and learning about others."
Another student wrote on a pinwheel, "Treat others the way you want to be treated."
Ninth-grader Julie Ashton colored her pinwheel in zebra stripes simply because she likes zebras, but she said the pinwheel is a symbol of great meaning.
"It's saying we want the world to be a better and peaceful place," Ashton said. "Peace means that everyone feels happy and included."
Tautelio called the project a "natural fit" for the school in its effort to expand global awareness and a sense of community.
"We have a lot of curriculums here and a lot of activities where we get the kids out serving the community," she said.
The students have written up proposals for service projects like making quilts to donate to the Primary Children's Medical Center, making activity booklets for the Family Support Center in Midvale, teaching a dance class for free and visiting a care home for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Going around and observing the students working on the pinwheels, Tauteoli said she was impressed with how focused the kids were.
"They took it seriously," she said. "They did some good thinking and reflection about it."
Tauteoli said she hopes Pinwheels for Peace and other service projects will help students to look at the bigger picture.
"I think middle-school students especially, because of their age, are so self-focused," she said. "We want to help them think outside of themselves, feel empathy for people around the world."

Two art forms combine this week, when Park City artist Josee Nadeau "live paints" on the Libby Gardner Hall stage, while the Salt Lake Symphony performs.
The orchestral works of Respighi, Rimsky-Korsakov, Purcell and Bach will inspire Nadeau during the Oct. 13 event.
But initially, it was a rock 'n' roll icon who moved her to blend art with music.
In 2000, Nadeau found herself at a private party at the residence of Guy Laliberté, the founder of Cirque du Soleil. Former Beatle George Harrison was in attendance. The two met and were instantly connected, she said, with Harrison even serenading her. The next day, Nadeau said she received a "beautiful message" from Harrison on her answering machine, a message that she has kept.
Nadeau said she was so "creatively seduced" by Harrison's impromptu concert and the subsequent message, that she created a gorgeous painting of water lilies in a French garden.
"I became his muse," Nadeau said, and in turn, he became hers.
Twelve years later, Nadeau will demonstrate her connection art and music as she "live paints" with the Salt Lake Symphony a unique amalgamation of two disciplines.
Proceeds from the concert and the two paintings she creates will be donated to Mohammed Sbia, head of Zahra Charity. The nonprofit provides access to neuro-rehabilitation research and care in Morocco and Utah.
For the show, The Salt Lake Symphony, conducted by Robert Baldwin, will perform four compositions: Rimsky-Korsakov's "Russian Easter Overture," Leopold Stokowski's arrangement of Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor, Purcell's Chacony for Strings in G Minor and Respighi's "Roman Festivals."
Standing onstage will be Nadeau and two 8-by-8-foot blank canvases. On a screen, projected above the orchestra, the audience will be able to enjoy Nadeau's brush strokes along with the music.
"It's a dance, it's so beautiful," Nadeau said during a recent interview. "With a blank canvas, you're like a composer, pulling it in every direction." While she is familiar with the compositions to be played, Nadeau said she has no preconceived notions of what her two paintings will be like. She is trusting that the music will inspire her, in the moment.
This isn't Nadeau's first "live painting" experience, but it will be her first time with a 94-member orchestra. In the past, she has been accompanied by smaller chamber quartets and ensembles. She has even painted during a human-rights speech by Harry Belafonte in New York City, in front of an audience that included the Royal Family of Serbia
Nadeau, 49, was born in Montreal, and was a protégée of Gerald Van der Kemp, French art expert and curator-in-chief of Louis XIV's palace at Versailles. Nadeau was an artist-in-residence at the palace, which is northwest of Paris and home to Claude Monet's personal gardens in Giverney.
While in France, Nadeau created impressionistic paintings of gardens, interiors of Paris cafes and a series of paintings of windows of the world. She moved to Park City to raise her two sons and to be close to another love and muse the ski slopes.
The Salt Lake Symphony programmed the evening at the beginning of the calendar year, with Nadeau becoming involved relatively recently. Baldwin in his seventh season as music director said the "colorful" program is a great fit for the night as "Russian Easter Overture," as well as the Bach's composition, are filled with orchestral color.
In fact, he said, Stokowski's use of the orchestral instruments was influenced by the "impressionist composers," namely Respighi,
"Respighi was quite influenced by Monet," Baldwin said. "They used color in a different way."
"Roman Festivals," the final tone poem of Respighi's Roman trilogy depicts ancient Rome, including gladiators battling to the death, Christian martyrs and pilgrims, and the harvest, including a drunken reveler represented by a tenor trombone.
"Beethoven and Brahms wouldn't work on this program," Baldwin said.
For her part, Nadeau is not intimidated by having an audience watch her create. She said the music will isolate her and make her feel as if she is in a different world during the program. However, she does recognize the pressure.
"It's pretty gutsy to get onstage with a symphony orchestra," she said.
'Sound & Light'
The Salt Lake Symphony collaborates with Josee Nadeau, who will paint as the orchestra performs; Robert Baldwin conducts.
When • Saturday, Oct. 13, 7 p.m.
Where • Libby Gardner Concert Hall, University of Utah, 1375 E. Presidents Circle, Salt Lake City
Tickets •$45 for preferred, $25 for general admission, $15 for students, at kingtix.com, zahracharity.org. or by calling 801-807-4563; VIP seating is also available for $100, and includes reserved parking, and catered receptions before and after the concert. Proceeds will benefit neuro-rehabilitation patients in Utah and Morocco.

Everly Brothers' Phil Everly dead at 74
Listen to The Everly Brothers on iHeartRadio
Phil Everly of the sibling singing duo the Everly Brothers has died. Everly's wife Patti tells The Los Angeles Times the singer passed away Friday in Burbank, California of complications from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, also known as COPD.
Patti says the family is "absolutely heartbroken," adding that Phil's lung condition was brought on by a lifetime of cigarette smoking. He was 74.
With his older brother Don, Everly helped shape the rock and roll era of music, charting almost three dozen hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The Everly Brothers' song classics include, among others, "Wake Up Little Suzie," "Bye Bye Love," "When Will I Be Loved" and "All I Have To Do Is Dream." The Everly Brothers were among the first acts to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
In addition to his wife, Phil is survived by his brother Don, their mother, two sons and two granddaughters. The Times says funeral services will be private.

Here is the way that Bleacher Report ranked the Twins.
Honorable Mention: Nick Punto (one last shot at Punto as he exits)
5. Denard Span (one good season + one OK season)
4. Carl Pavano (innings eater for the Twins, horse of the rotation)
3. Jim Thome (See below)
2. Joe Mauer (What???)
1. Tsuyoshi Nishioka (Hasn't played a game yet, so there is no way to judge him at the major league level)
5. Drew Butera (No offense or no offence, but he is the back-up catcher)
4. Brian Duensing (See below)
3. Matt Tolbert (a bench player who only had 100 plate appearances last year)
2. Joe Mauer (He's on both lists, now that's just confusing)
1. Michael Cuddyer (See below)
There are a variety of challenges in creating a list of over and underrated players because there is so much subjectivity that can go into picking one player over another. There are going to be many that view a player differently than the next person. In order to pick someone that is overrated, you must assume that other's value that player more highly than he should be valued. In order to pick someone that is underrated, you must find players that provided value to the Twins while not being thought of in the highest regard.
Jim Thome- The offensive value that Thome provided the Twins in 2010 might have been the saving grace of a team that lost an MVP candidate at mid-season. His Wins Above Replacement (WAR) was the third highest on the Twins last season behind Mauer and Morneau. He will be 40 years old next season and this could add to a lot of other problems that have shown in Thome in recent years. His back issues have prevented him from being an everyday DH. His presence on the basepath is an extreme hindrance and he often has to be replaced on the bases in close situations late in the game. Defensively he offers nothing to the Twins as Gardenhire won't even let Thome touch a glove in Spring Training. His offense and veteran leadership are why the Twins have him on their roster. He is a future Hall-of-Famer that is in the twilight of his career.
Delmon Young- There was plenty of upside when the Twins traded for Delmon Young before the start of the 2008 season. He had just won the AL Rookie of the Year Award and had a promising future ahead of him. The problem was in his first two seasons with the Twins he regressed from the outstanding numbers that he compiled in his rookie campaign. In 2010, he finally regained his offensive prowess but his defensive skills are still lacking. In his three seasons with the Twins his defensive WAR has been -4.7 while during the same time he has a 5.0 offensive WAR. Young's high RBI count last season pushed him to 10th in the AL MVP voting but watching him field a fly ball continues to be an adventure. For him to be considered a great player his defense is going to need a variety of improvements. He could be one of the cornerstone pieces of this franchise but he will need to gain more consistency from year to year on offense and defense.
Michael Cuddyer- The one veteran player that has been part of all of six of the the Twins division championships since 2002. His versatility has allowed him to play every position on the field except shortstop, pitcher, and catcher. This offseason ESPN's Jason Stark named Cuddyer to his All-Underrated Team. At the beginning of the 2010 season a Sporting News survey of General Managers named Cuddyer as the most underrated player in all of baseball. So the question remains, how long can you be considered underrated? The name Michael Cuddyer is not a household name to many major league baseball fans across the United States. Since 2002 there have only been two teams that have won their division six times, the Twins and the Yankees. Jeter, Rivera, and Posada are the well-known players that have been part of the Yankees recent run. Cuddyer is the lesser known, small-market veteran player that still clings to his underrated status.
Brian Duensing- The Twins could have tried to trade for some of the big name pitchers that were available at the last two trade deadlines but they had an ace up their sleeve. Duensing has a second half savior for the Twins in their last two division titles. He has been able to fill the role of relief pitcher, spot starter, and playoff starting rotation member. There were only two pitchers, Liriano and Pavano, on the Twins staff that had a higher WAR than Duensing in 2010. The Twins still don't know what Duensing's role will be in 2011 but Duensing has shown that he can succeed in a multitude of settings and roles. If the Twins allow Duensing to be part of the starting rotation for an entire season it could be a short amount of time before he becomes well known in the American League.
There can be many opinions on this topic. Leave me a comment and tell me who would be on your overrated or underrated list for the Twins.

IDrive "Media" - steep learning curve
Just picked up my X1 yesterday and right now looking up at what seems to be a steep learning curve for the IDrive media options and playing back music.
Let's start with my IPhone 5 Bluetooth - that works fine if I access it through "External devices," but I first thought i would access it through "Bluetooth," which produces nothing. Seems odd to me, since it is definitely transmitting through Bluetooth - there's no cable attached.
USB Flash drive - I read about this option and took one to the dealer with a small group of songs laoded. I couldn't figure out at first how to copy an ITunes playlist onto the flash drive, so I just "dragged" some song selections into the flashdrive icon and they exported. I played that on the way home from the dealership and it was easy to operate and sounded great.
So here's where it gets weird and frustrating - this morning I erased everything from the flashdrive and looked up online how to transfer a playlist. Did so, and checked the playlist was there, in "M3U" format or something like that. Took it down to the X1 - inserted the flashdrive, system picked it up - and started to play the music I had downloaded yesterday and then trashed this morning! It had no listing for the playlist I had exported to the flashdrive this morning.
So either that music is still on the flashdrive even though I can't see it, or the system stored that music. But according to what I read, that only happens with the glovebox USB port. Which I don't see...
What is going on? And if the music was stored - how do I erase it? I can't see those instructions anywhere.,
And how do you pause music? There are no conventional controls that I see...
Then there's the radio...obviously I need to store my presets because that's a lot of steps just to find a station, especially while driving...
As I said, a steep learning curve, and I am just starting out. Probably will all be clear to me soon...I hope so!
When you first pair a phone with Bluetooth it only connects for phone calls. You have to enable music audio streaming too. I forget what menu it's on but I found it eventually and set it. I found that if you connect the phone thought the USB cable it disables the music Bluetooth streaming so you have to reset it.
The Idrive interface was quite easy to pick up for me (E90 LCI). I used the USB flash initially but prefer USB connection to the IPhone once i got one. You'll find tips and FAQs in the E9x forums.
Simply tap the power button on the radio to pause and unpause.
Thanks for the "pause" hint.
I have the Iphone 5, and it's a bit big and bulky to attach it the USB port and rest in the little cubby down there(where I also keep my sunglasses, by the way). Also, the cord would be awkward when a call comes in. (editing because I just realized I don't need to pick up the IPhone when a call comes in, with Bluetooth...still! I'd rather have a device I can leave in and not have to attach and de-attach every time).
So I am using an older IPod Touch and it works fine.
But if I could get the flashdrive in the USB port to work, that would be my first choice, because - no cord! Again, I actually got music to play off a Flashdrive. The weirdness happened when I took that flashdrive out, back to my computer, trashed the contents, added a "playlist" from ITunes according to instructions I found online, went back to the X1, inserted the flashdrive - and it played the trashed music selections, and couldn't locate the downloaded playlist. Twilight Zone.
I will try a different flashdrive later.
I will also try the flashdrive in the glovebox, but it comes with a little notice that says it is the port for downloading music to the harddrive. Maybe that's the way to go...Anyone with experience doing that?
Last edited by mullini; 11-25-2012 at 06:55 AM. Reason: clarification
This is what I remember about the flash drive in the E90 LCI. The glovebox USB port is only for transferring music from flash to the hard drive. I believe you can only transfer 4Gig at a time, with 12Gig of a available music storage. The hard drive catalogs the transfers separately (USB1, USB2, etc). You have to select each group group from internal storage separately along with CDs you have ripped with the CD drive. I'm not sure if playlists are supported from the hard drive USBx folders. Because all of the hard drive music is not catalogued together, I only use it for ripping CDs that friends have that I want to sample. Ripping CDs to AAC or MP3/LAME gives much better quality than the IDrive.
If you want to play music directly from USB flash you must use the console port. Playlists are supported here but most be formatted properly (just folder structure, no drive letters). The car seems to re-catalog the music every time you restart the car. The larger your flash drive the longer this takes (it's minutes, not hours). I used a 16Gig flash drive without a problem but it was no longer necessary (and too much trouble) once I got my iPhone.

You're not alone in finding the iDrive a little infuriating - I too found it took quite some time getting used to. Once you get the hang of things, it does all work nicely though.
I discovered that the USB port in the glove box was fussy for some reason - I had 2 different USB flash drives - both 4GB, and both formatted identical, and both loaded with same exact music files, but the USB port only recognized one of them (it saw a SuperTalent USB drive, but did not recognize a Kensington branded one). I also used the same USB drive to download a BMW software update to my iDrive which was available from the BMW website. As someone pointed out earlier, the internal hard drive stores music files in USB1, USB2, etc. groupings for some reason, so when deleting, you would have to delete each group.
What really bugs me is why the USB port in the glove box cannot be used for connecting an iPhone or iPod, as I would rather have it hidden away there than sitting out in the open in the console.
After dealing with Audi's MMi and crappy NAV for 3 years, I find the iDrive refreshing. And anything that I can't figure out I just let my 13 yr old boy take care of. So any of you having trouble, just get y'sef a 13 yr old and turn him loose.

Information Literacy and Writing Assessment Project:
Tutorial for Developing and Evaluating Assignments
Section 4: Designing Assignments that Contain Writing and Research
Guide for Effective ILWA Assignment Design
One way you may assist students is by expressing expectations in unambiguous terms. Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives can help find these terms. Another way Bloom's taxonomy can be useful is in its classification of mental tasks ranging from simple recall of information to sophisticated construction of knowledge. Ask yourself the following questions about the language, the expectations, the organization, and the rationale of your assignments.
Questions for Syllabus Review:
Do the assignments include any or all of the following terms from Bloom's taxonomy? (The intellectual tasks charted below increase in sophistication moving from left to right.)
Knowledge Comprehension Application Analysis Synthesis Evaluation List Summarize Solve Analyze Design Evaluate Name Explain Illustrate Organize Hypothesize Choose Identify Interpret Calculate Deduce Support Estimate Show Describe Use Contrast Schematize Judge Define Compare Interpret Compare Write Defend Recognize Paraphrase Relate Distinguish Report Criticize Recall Differentiate Manipulate Discuss Justify State Demonstrate Apply Plan Visualize Classify Modify Devise
- Does your syllabus have a goal and objective that addresses information literacy and effective writing?
- Have you outlined the assignment objectives and criteria in the syllabus?
- Have you tied the assignment to the goals and objectives of the course and major?
Effective Information Literacy Assignments
When you begin the process of designing an information literacy assignment, it is worthwhile to review the criteria that help ensure your assignment will be effective.
- communicate specific learning objectives (Bloom's taxonomy)
- try the assignment yourself
- take advantage of library and Internet instruction resources
- stress tasks/resources as well as the topic
- teach research strategies rather than simply making an assignment
- collaborate with the librarians -- "assignment alert"
Don't create frustration:
- the "Mob Scene" -- sending the entire class to look for the same information, book, or article. Use a variety of resources, give students different assignments
- the "Shot in the Dark" -- inadvertently giving incomplete or incorrect information
- the "Scavenger Hunt" -- sending students to search for obscure bits of information
- the "Old Curiosity Shop" -- assigning use of outdated reference sources
- the "Elusive Topic" -- assuming students will be able to select a manageable topic without faculty assistance
- "Lost in Space" -- sending students off to use Internet resources without demonstrating how to approach the assignment and providing some hands-on time to try the assignment when the faculty member is available for consultation.
Characteristics of Effective Library Assignments
Library-related assignments should originate from and be directly related to the course subject matter. If we want students to learn how to effectively choose among, evaluate, and use information sources, they must have a concrete purpose for applying the research and measuring its value. Research projects should arise from course work and the results should be examined, discussed, and incorporated into the course. A library research project should never be added to a class merely to teach library resource use. Research without a purpose surely serves no educational goal.
The students must understand the purpose of the project and how it will benefit them. All too often students think that research projects are assigned so that they might demonstrate their proficiency at paraphrasing sources. Faculty do not improve the situation when they approve topics and lists of resources that the students freely admit are familiar to them. Rather, they should demonstrate that the true value of library research is to learn something new or see an issue from a new perspective.
Analysis should be emphasized over answers. Many poorly executed research papers result from a student's belief that he or she must come up with a solution to a problem through the project. This would certainly be an unfair expectation; many scholars spend a career trying to come up with an answer. Learning to analyze, question, and delve into the scholarly debate surrounding an issue, rather than presenting an easy, immediate answer, are the key skills students should learn through their research.
Students should be encouraged to plan their research before and as they retrieve information. One difference between novice and expert researchers is the amount of time spent in planning and analyzing an issue. Student researchers should be taught that background reading, outlining relevant perspectives, and investigating the amount and type of information available are necessary parts of effective information use. If they plunge directly into the first information sources they find rather than following a plan, serendipity is likely to direct their projects rather than any true information need.
The assignment should be a progressive project, with time and opportunities for concrete feedback from a variety of sources. Students should see that building our personal or societal base of knowledge is a progressive, often collaborative, process. Regular feedback from their instructors, fellow students, outside experts, and others should help them to see questions, requests for more information, and criticisms in a positive light.
Once you are ready to design an assignment, you can examine how others have developed assignments to assist you in developing your own ideas for assignments relevant to your class. Following are a number of different assignments in use by UMUC faculty. In addition, this document also provides links to Web sites that offer additional examples using a variety of information technologies.

Sound and Fury on the Economy
For all the hubbub about the innovative format of last night's debate among Democratic presidential candidates, what was striking was how little effect the new format actually had. The debate was still, essentially, a group press conference in which—a few brief exchanges aside—the candidates displayed their placards. Take their rhetoric on the economy. As in earlier gatherings, the candidates handed out the same semi-populist doom and gloom about a country losing economic hope while only the very wealthy improve their lives. To listen to the candidates, you'd think the poor were sinking deeper into poverty due to predatory lending practices, while a cabal of insurance, pharmaceutical, and oil companies were conspiring to turn the U.S. into a giant New Orleans.
But, as David Brooks notes in his column today, "after a lag, average wages are rising sharply. Real average wages rose by 2 percent in 2006, the second fastest rise in 30 years." Similarly, he observes, "according to the Congressional Budget Office, earnings for the poorest fifth of Americans are also on the increase." Nor, says Arthur Brooks, writing in the Wall Street Journal, are Americans sinking into a slough of economic despond. They continue to be optimistic about their chances for a better life. The National Opinion Research Center's General Social Survey shows that in 1972, 30 percent of the population said that they were "very happy" with their lives; in 1982, 31 percent; in 1993, 32 percent; and in 2004, 31 percent. "In other words, no significant change in reported happiness occurred—even as income inequality has increased significantly." "The data," Arthur Brooks concludes, "do tell us that economic mobility—not equality—is associated with happiness."
The Democrats definitely have some things right. They are leading the effort to expand the Trade Adjustment Assistance program—which aids workers who have lost their manufacturing jobs to foreign competition—to include service workers as well. But the Deomcrats are also looking to sink well-wrought trade agreements with South Korea and Colombia.
The Republicans definitely miss the mark at times, too, particularly on the genuine (and justified) anxieties of the public about the effects of globalization. Talk of the beauty, efficiency, and long-term benefits of markets is not enough; the public expects government to help balance large-scale risk and rewards in the here-and-now. The GOP would make a profound mistake, for both the future of free trade and for their own political future, if, as the White House seems inclined, they were to block the expansion of the Trade Adjustment Assistance program to include service workers.
"Feeding off pessimism about the war and anger at Washington, the candidates," says David Brooks, "now compete to tell dark, angry, and conspiratorial stories about the economy." This is not just a matter of rhetoric; these overheated arguments present a real danger. They might conflate the legitimate need to help cushion Americans from the increased risks of the global economy with an attempt to roll back the growth of free trade that has underwritten precisely the economic mobility so important to economic happiness. And that really would be bad news.
Sound and Fury on the Economy
Must-Reads from Magazine
Salaita, Out
Sympathy deferred.
I have written before about S. Once a tenured professor of English at Virginia Tech, he resigned from that position on the strength of an offer from the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign to serve in the American Indian Studies program. But in the summer of 2014, UIUC rescinded the offer, mainly over of a series of reprehensible Salaita tweets.
Let the tone of one exemplify many others: Concerning three kidnapped Israeli teens—there was already reason to believe they had been killed—Salaita opined, "You may be too refined to say it, but I'm not: I wish all the fucking West Bank settlers would go missing." As I noted at the time, reasonable people could disagree about whether the offer should have been rescinded.
Ultimately, UIC paid $875,000 to make the case go away. But it was troubling that some on the left chose not only to defend Salaita's academic freedom—as one might defend the freedom of the Westboro Baptist Church to say vile things—but also that they made him into a kind of hero. To this day, he remains an elected member of the National Council of the American Studies Association and is still from time to time invited to give lectures at prestigious places about how he is not allowed to speak.
He has been occupying a chair in American Studies at the American University of Beirut. But that was not a tenured or tenure track position0 and, apparently, no one else will offer him a job. So he has decided to leave academia.
We will now be endlessly subjected to the claim that Salaita cannot find a job merely because, as he puts it, he has "disdain for settler colonialism." The problem is, he says, that academia is a "bourgeois industry that reward self-importance and conformity."
That is nonsense.
First, Steven Salaita's position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, roughly that Zionism is the problem and that turning Israel into a pariah state is a prudent and moral way of dealing with it, may be foolish and morally obtuse. But it is hardly out of bounds in academia and well over a thousand academics have expressed public support for the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. Many of them occupy tenured positions at prestigious colleges and universities and, at least as far as I can tell, pay no professional cost for holding the very same set of views Salaita wants us to think is too hot for academia to handle.
Second, in the field Salaita inhabits, a pro-BDS position is not a nonconformist position. It is famously the official line of the American Studies Association. The Association for Asian American Studies, which preceded the ASA in passing a boycott resolution, passed the resolution unanimously with nary an extension. Over four years ago, I observed that not one scholar in that field had publicly dissented. As far as I know, that remains the case today. Salaita himself, in spite of a thin scholarly record, was offered a job at UIUC, the flagship of the Illinois system, presumably on the strength of his activism. There is no doubt in my mind that were it not for his disgusting tweets, he would be happily tenured at U of I spouting the same line he was spouting before he got into trouble.
Of course, people who take radical positions, even if those positions are popular in their subfields, may find themselves under closer scrutiny than people who don't, even at colleges and universities that are supposed to value unconventional thinking. That's unfortunate, and should be decried. Indeed, the U of I's defense of its decision to rescind Salaita's offer in terms of civility was unconvincing and rightly earned the disdain of academic freedom organizations like the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education and the American Association of University Professors. People do sometimes lose their jobs over this kind of thing. But Salaita's views are not what undid him. He was undone by his own callousness and recklessness, neither of which has he found any reason to regret.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Syria's Forsaken Rebels
Has Washington given up on Syria?
Last week, I wrote about one of the troublesome byproducts of the Trump-Putin summit in Hamburg: a ceasefire in southwestern Syria that Israel worries will entrench Iranian control of that area bordering the Israeli Golan Heights. The day after my article came out, the Washington Post reported on another troubling decision that President Trump has made vis a vis Syria: Ending a CIA program that had provided arms and training to anti-Assad forces.
Gen. Tony Thomas, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, insisted that this decision was not a sop to Russia. But whether intended that way or not, that is the effect of this decision. The Post quoted a current U.S. official as saying: "This is a momentous decision. Putin won in Syria." That seems indisputable. By stopping support for the anti-Assad forces, the U.S. is conceding that Bashar Assad—Russia and Iran's client—will stay in power indefinitely.
The U.S. continues, of course, to support the Syrian Democratic Forces, the misleading name of the largely Kurdish YPG rebels that are besieging the Islamic State city of Raqqa. But the YPG has no interest in overthrowing Assad and no interest in governing Arab areas. Their objective is to set up a Kurdish state, Rojava, in northern Syria, and they have friendly relations both with Damascus and Tehran. There is no way that the Kurds can rule the majority of Syrian territory, which is populated by Arabs.
That will leave multiple factions to battle it out for control of most of Syria: the Iran-Assad-Russia axis (spearheaded by Hezbollah and other Iranian-created militias, and backed by Russian air power), the al-Nusra Front (the al-Qaeda affiliate in Syria, which is rumored to get support from Gulf states), and the Islamic State, which may be down at the moment but hardly out. These factions have their differences, but they are united on certain core essentials. All are rabidly anti-American, anti-Western, and anti-Israeli, and all are violent jihadists, whether of the Shiite or Sunni persuasion.
It is not in America's interest for any of these groups to control a substantial amount of Syrian territory. Yet President Trump has now made the puzzling decision to stop support for the only faction that could keep substantial swathes of Syria out of jihadist hands.
Granted, the moderates loosely affiliated with the Free Syrian Army have been losing ground for years. That is largely the fault of President Barack Obama, who unwisely refused to heed the advice of the officials in his administration who advocated a vigorous train-and-assist program for non-jihadist rebels. Such a program would have had a much greater chance of working in earlier years. America's failure to help the moderates has led many fighters to defect to more radical groups, and many of our allies have been killed or expelled.
But it would not be impossible to reverse these trends, and trying would be worthwhile. There are, after all, scores of military-age Syrian men who have fled the country as refugees. If the U.S. had the will to act, they could be trained, armed, and organized into an effective military force on Jordanian or Turkish soil and then sent with U.S. advisers and U.S. air support to secure Syrian territory. We currently provide that kind of aid to the Kurds, but we have cut off the Arab fighters, who are willing to risk their lives to fight against one of the biggest war criminals in the world—Bashar Assad, who is responsible for upwards of 400,000 deaths.
This decision makes little sense on strategic or moral grounds. Instead of abandoning the moderates, we should be doing more to buttress them. Even if it's too late to overthrow Assad, who is more secure than ever since Russia entered the conflict in 2015, it might at least be possible to limit him to a few major cities and the Alawite heartland and prevent jihadists from taking control of most of the Syrian countryside. If we stop trying, we are conceding much of Syria to the Iran-Russia camp indefinitely. That is not in our interest, nor in that of our regional allies. Vladimir Putin, on the other hand, will be very happy.
The Democratic Party's False Centrism
It's a duck.
Democrats are finally digging out of the wreckage the Obama years wrought, and are beginning to acknowledge the woes they visited upon themselves with their box-checking identity liberalism. So, yes, the opposition is moving forward in the Trump area, but toward what? Schizophrenia, apparently.
The party's rebranding effort began in earnest last week when Democrats revealed a new slogan meant to evoke an old one: "A Better Deal." Writing for the New York Times opinion page on Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer insisted the Democratic Party's new agenda "is not about expanding the government, or moving our party in one direction or another along the political spectrum." Any sentient political observer could be forgiven for thinking otherwise.
"First, we're going to increase people's pay," Schumer wrote. "Second, we're going to reduce their everyday expenses. And third, we're going to provide workers with the tools they need for the 21st-century economy." He endorsed Bernie Sanders' $1 trillion infrastructure spending proposal, a national paid family and sick leave program, and a hike of the minimum wage to $15 per hour. To reduce the cost of consumer goods, Democrats will pursue changes in the law to allow Congress to break up big firms with oppressive capriciousness.
When pressed on Sunday about what the "Better Deal" agenda may mean for health care, Schumer confessed it meant the most radical expansion of entitlement benefits in American history. "Medicare for people above 55 is on the table. A buy-in to Medicare is on the table. Buy-in to Medicaid is on the table," the senator said. All options are available—including, apparently, a single-payer system in the form of voluntary Medicare-for-all—once Democrats "stabilize" ObamaCare's insurance market.
Schumer admitted that the source of Democratic troubles in 2016 and since isn't Moscow or former FBI Director James Comey; it's that the electorate doesn't know what values or beliefs his party represents. Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy agreed. "Our failing historically has been to focus on very targeted demographic messages, cultural issues, rather than broad-based economic themes," he insisted. So the Democratic Party's message in 2018 will apparently be not just big government but behemoth government. And yet, the faintest warble of Schumer's conscience compelled him to assure voters that big government isn't the Democratic objective. Why?
Because the way for Democrats to win involves party members farther to the Right—that faction of Democrats known as the Blue Dogs. "The [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee] recognizes that the path to the majority is through the Blue Dogs," asserted Arizona Rep. Kyrsten Sinema. She told Politico that she is in talks with at least 20 potential candidates vying to revive this endangered species. "We are able to convince folks who normally wouldn't vote for a Democrat to vote for this Democrat."
Before voters purged moderate House Democrats by voting for Republicans instead in 2010, their eventual disappearance was heralded as a great victory for the Progressive Monolith. "Democrats aren't ideological enough," wrote Ari Berman in an October 2010 New York Times op-ed. He argued that ideological homogeneity would make Democrats "more united and more productive." In fact, the 2010 midterm elections marked the end of the legislative phase of Barack Obama's presidency. Good call there.
The House's Blue Dog Coalition is "dedicated to pursuing fiscally-responsible policies, ensuring a strong national defense, and transcending party lines," according to its mission statement. How those objectives comport with Schumer's platform—cutting a 13-figure check for infrastructure, rampant economic interventionism, and a semi-single-payer system—is anyone's guess. Democrats may plan on localizing individual races so as to shield their candidates from the party's negatives, but that's easier said than done. Just ask Jon Ossoff, who lost in a Georgia special election despite having done precisely this.
The party's leaders seem aware that the kind of hyper-liberalism articulated in the "Better Deal" agenda is incompatible with the kind of "economic populism" that proposes individual frugality and prudence as well as solvent safety nets for those who need assistance. For all his faults, Trump was able to marry these two concepts in a way that appealed both to Republicans and enough swing Democrats to win the White House. Democrats appear to be appealing to centrists only at the point of a progressive bayonet. If Democratic candidates start winning again, it won't be a result of their party's coherent platform.
Challenging Violent Speech—Unless It's About Israel
The border of incitement.
The idea that speech can itself constitute an act of violence grows ever more popular among the left's leading polemicists. They argue that employing a politically incorrect word can be triggering; that the wrong gender pronoun can provoke; that words and sentences and parts of speech are all acts of aggression in disguise. The left seeks to stop this violence, or less euphemistically: to silence this speech.
Given their particular sensitivity to the triumphant mightiness of the pen, it's profoundly disturbing to note where lines are drawn and exceptions made.
Linda Sarsour, the left's darling of the day, posted a widely-shared picture of Palestinians praying in the streets of Jerusalem, an act protesting the placement of metal detectors outside the Al Aqsa Mosque. "This is resilience. This is perseverance. This is faith. This is commitment. This is inspiration. This is Palestine," Sarsour wrote. "Denied access to pray at Al Aqsa Mosque in their own homeland, Palestinians pray on the streets in an act of non-violent resistance. They are met with tear gas and rubber bullets."
Absent from her platitudinous prevarication was any mention of the inarguably violent act that led Israel to construct the metal detectors in the first place, the recent killing of two Israeli police officers at the Temple Mount. Also absent: any reference to the three Israelis who were brutally murdered in the settlement of Halamish on Friday night. It was a far cry from nonviolent resistance when 19-year-old Omar al-Abed entered a home, saw a family finishing a Shabbat dinner, and began indiscriminately stabbing his victims.
Sarsour's rhetoric is dangerous precisely because she understands her audience and how to appeal to their emotions. She peppers her statements with a few felicitous bromides like "non-violent resistance" and hopes no one notices the inconsistency of her arguments. Others on the left are slightly more honest about their intentions.
Writing in Al Jazeera, Stanley Cohen called on Israel to "accept that as an occupied people, Palestinians have a right to resist—in every way possible." He begins by telling his readers: "long ago, it was settled that resistance and even armed struggle against a colonial occupation force is not just recognized under international law but specifically endorsed." His entire article is predicated on a false premise in that it demands the characterization of Israel as a "colonial occupation force"— a characterization that is categorically incoherent.
Cohen cites a 1982 UN Resolution which "reaffirms the legitimacy of the struggle of peoples for independence, territorial integrity, national unity and liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle." He does not mention which countries voted for and against this resolution.
Among the countries that voted for it: Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Pakistan, Rwanda, Qatar, Niger, Kuwait, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq.
Among the countries who voted against it: Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States.
On college campuses, the call for armed struggle has become the Cri de Coeur of leftist students who are otherwise hypersensitive to the impact that intangible words can have on corporeal beings. On Columbia's campus, students who form the backbone of the BDS movement have successfully blurred the line between incitement and impassioned—albeit severely misguided—opinion. In 2016, the Columbia/ Barnard Socialists concluded one social media post by declaring: "long live the intifada." As recently as Sunday—after the Halamish attack— the Students for Justice in Palestine shared the Al Jazeera article calling for armed resistance. Where are the outraged professors, administrators, and students concerned for the safety of the student body? Where are the charges of bigotry and racism, the calls to silence this speech, to stop this violence?
Nowhere does the idea that speech can constitute violence find more support than on elite liberal arts colleges. But regardless of whether they have intellectual or moral merit on their own, calls for safe spaces, trigger warnings, and micro-aggression-free environments that come from groups or individuals who not only condone, but use their words to quite literally call for violence, must be ignored, and the hypocrisy highlighted.
From the safe confines of an ivy-covered campus–or from the relative safety of this country, for that matter–it's easy to preach justice and retribution, to portray armed struggle as the necessary means that will find justification through a righteous end. But especially those who are sensitive to the power of language should understand: euphemistic terminology does nothing to mitigate the violent nature inherent in this rhetoric. There must be no confusion. The left's glorification of armed struggle is nothing short of approval for those Palestinians who target and kill innocent men, women, and children. Those who proclaim to speak for social justice have been damningly silent.
Russian Undressing: An Explanation
Podcast: How bad is it?
On the first of this week's COMMENTARY podcasts, Noah Rothman and Abe Greenwald join me to sort through—and we do it systematically, which is a first for us—what is going on with the Russia investigation and how it divides into three categories. There's the question of the probe itself, there's the question of collusion, and there's the question of obstruction of justice. It's really good. I mean it. Give a listen.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College has
sponsored a men's and women's tennis team since 1985. But it wasn't
until Henry Baughman came along that Blue Raider tennis teams had a
first-class place to call home.
On Friday afternoon, the LWC community dedicated the Henry
Baughman Tennis Complex.
The Baughman Tennis Complex expands the number of courts
available from three to six, and it gives the Blue Raiders "a
first-class tennis facilty," Baughman said at Friday's dedication
"I'm proud to have been a part of making this happen," said
Baughman of Smithfield, Ky., who made the lead gift to fund the
$425,000 complex.
Equipped with lights, the Baughman Tennis Complex allows LWC
tennis players to practice in evenings and also host home matches
on the A.P. White Campus.
LWC President William T. Luckey Jr. said without Baughman's
support, the new tennis complex probably wouldn't have been
"As much as I knew these students needed new tennis courts and
this program has grown into one of the five best NAIA programs in
the country, it just didn't seem possible to fund this project in
light of the explosive expansion that's been happening on campus,"
Luckey said during the ceremony. "Henry, I'm so grateful for your
generous support of our students and for allowing us to name this
beautiful facility in your honor."
Baughman said he hoped the tennis complex would help the Blue
Raiders "win many more conference championships and soon an NAIA
He also hopes the LWC tennis program will provide academic
opportunities to more students.
"Its my hope that playing tennis will enhance students' academic
pursuits, like it did for me," he said.
Baughman, who was born and raised in Lincoln County, Ky., is a
retired Western Kentucky University professor who taught health and
safety, and he helped start the university's emergency medical
technologist/training program.
Baughman grew up watching his late father play tennis. He has
been an active tennis player for more than 60 years, and his tennis
achievements are legendary. There were no tennis courts in Stanford
until his father built an asphalt court in 1952, Baughman's
sophomore year at Standford High School.
Baughman has been ranked No. 1 in Kentucky more than 60 times,
and 15 times he has been ranked No. 1 in the nine-state United
States Tennis Association Southern, the largest association in the
United States. He has also earned a No. 4 national ranking in 70
and over singles.
Baughman was chosen to the Southern All-Star team for the USTA
National Inter-Sectional Championships, where he won three gold
medals on the teams that were seven-time national champions. He has
won 13 National Public Parks' tennis championships and five
National Senior Olympic gold medals.
Baughman was inducted into the Kentucky Tennis Hall of Fame in
1996, and in 2007 he was honored with the fifth Kentucky Player of
the Year award and first Southern Player of the Year award. Also in
1997, he received the Slew Hester Adult Achievement award for being
ranked in the USTA Southern top five for 25 consecutive

AUDIO: John Lanigan has left the building
(Cleveland) -- John Lanigan, who has been a familiar presence on Cleveland radio since 1970, signed off for the final time Monday morning, stepping down from the morning "Lanigan and Malone Show" on Majic 105.7, WMJI.
Lanigan, who is retiring after 28 years on WMJI, and 13 years before that on WGAR, really had no final speech to his listeners, basically letting co-hosts Jimmy Malone, Chip Kullik and Tracey Carroll do all the talking.
Members of Lanigan's family, including his wife Sandy, adult children and grandchildren were all in the studio for the final farewell. Dozens of well-wishers were outside the studio for a reception planned for after the show.
One thing that Lanigan did to officially commemorate his retirement was to take his old battered briefcase and throw it in the trash.
Malone, Kullik and Carroll are still staying on as part of the new "Majic Morning Show" which will be hosted by former Channel 3 weatherman and news anchor Mark Nolan.

File: tlsproxy/tlsproxy.c. missing lookup table entry and terminator, causing proxymap server segfault when postscreen(8) or verify(8) attempted to access their cache via the proxymap server. This could never have worked anyway, because the Postfix 2.8 proxymap protocol does not support cache cleanup. File util/dict.c. the Postfix client sqlite quoting routine returned the unquoted result instead of the quoted text.

It detects clients that start talking too soon, or clients that appear on DNS blocklists, or clients that hang up without sending any command. * Thu Feb 10 2011 email@example.com - bnc#667299 - Postfix LICENSE not marked as documentation * Mon Jan 17 2011 email@example.com - add some min LDAP support for virtual LDAP-users o sysconfig "WITH_LDAP" o add ldap_aliases.cf o SuSEconfig.postfix virtual_alias_maps = ... ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap_aliases.cf * Tue Jan 04 2011 firstname.lastname@example.com - update to 2.7.2 * Bugfix (introduced Postfix 2.2): Postfix no longer appends the system default CA certificates to the lists specified with *_tls_CAfile or with *_tls_CApath. This prevents third-party certificates from getting mail relay permission with the permit_tls_all_clientcerts feature. Unfortunately this may cause compatibility problems with configurations that rely on certificate verification for other purposes. To get the old behavior, specify "tls_append_default_CA = yes". Files: tls/tls_certkey.c, tls/tls_misc.c, global/mail_params.h. proto/postconf.proto, mantools/postlink. * Compatibility with Postfix < 2.3: fix 20061207 was incomplete (undoing the change to bounce instead of defer after pipe-to-command delivery fails with a signal). Fix by Thomas Arnett. File: global/pipe_command.c. * Bugfix: the milter_header_checks parser provided only the actions that change the message flow (reject, filter, discard, redirect) but disabled the non-flow actions (warn, replace, prepend, ignore, dunno, ok). File: cleanup/cleanup_milter.c. * Performance: fix for poor smtpd_proxy_filter TCP performance over loopback (127.0.0.1) connections. Problem reported by Mark Martinec. Files: smtpd/smtpd_proxy.c. * Cleanup: don't apply reject_rhsbl_helo to non-domain forms such as network addresses. This would cause false positives with dbl.spamhaus.org. File: smtpd/smtpd_check.c. * Bugfix: the "421" reply after Milter error was overruled by Postfix 1.1 code that replied with "503" for RFC 2821 compliance. We now make an exception for "final" replies, as permitted by RFC. Solution by Victor Duchovni.

The Postfix SMTP client did not skip "unknown" SMTP client attributes, causing a syntax error when sending an "unknown" client PORT attribute. * Robustness: skip LDAP queries with non-ASCII search strings, instead of failing with a database lookup error. * Safety: Postfix processes now log a warning when a matchlist has a #comment at the end of a line (for example mynetworks or relay_domains). * Portability: OpenSSL 1.0.0 changes the priority of anonymous cyphers. * Portability: Berkeley DB 5.x is now supported. * Thu May 20 2010 email@example.com - fix obviously lost POSTFIX_MYHOSTNAME in SuSEconfig.postfix * Wed Apr 07 2010 email@example.com - New file check_mail_queue.

I am interested in how the human brain processes and integrates sensory inputs to impact perception and behavior, and the role of attention therein. My work involves characterizing these processes in healthy adults, charting their developmental course over childhood, and translating these findings to understand the neurobiology of developmental disorders, with an emphasis on autism. Non-invasive high-density recordings of the electrical activity of the brain, intracranial recordings in patients, psychophysics, and magnetic resonance imaging are my primary tools of investigation. I have funding for my research from NIMH, NSF, and private foundations.
I also direct the Human Clinical Phenotyping Core, of the Einstein IDDRC. The core includes a staff of clinical neuropsychologists and a database manager, and serves to recruit and characterize participants for Einstein studies. The core maintains a large database of potential research participants. This is composed largely of children, including those with a diagnosis of dyslexia, autism, and RETT syndrome, as well as healthy controls. See the core webpage for more information: http://www.einstein.yu.edu/centers/iddrc/iddrc.aspx?id=30133&ekmensel=15074e5e_4332_4335_btnlinkHumanee.

DOWNEY - City Councilman-elect Alex Saab, who won the open District 5 seat in Tuesday's election and will be the only newcomer to the council, says one of his top priorities will be to address the future of the Fire Department.
In a post-election interview last week, Saab said he is concerned about an ongoing feasibility study to dissolve the Downey Fire Department and contract with Los Angeles County for emergency services.
In July, the City Council voted 3-2 for the study, which is supported by the Downey Firefighters Association. Mayor Roger Brossmer and councilmen Luis Marquez and Fernando Vasquez supported the study, while Councilman Mario Guerra and former Councilman David Gafin opposed it.
"What makes us special is our independence," said Saab, 37, who will be sworn in to the council December 6. "We have our own fire department, our own police department and our own school district. That local control is important.
"Will it really be a cost savings and with excellent services?"
The study is scheduled to be finished by the end of the year. The city is expected to form a committee to discuss the findings.
Before the city could make changes to the Fire Department, it would need approval from voters, who passed a 1998 ballot measure requiring any change in fire or police services be approved by voters.
With the endorsements of 10 former city mayors, Saab easily defeated his three opponents in Tuesday's election with 56.81 percent of the vote, 9,827 more than the second-place finisher, former Bell Gardens Councilman Salvador Franco, who had 17.72 percent, according to unofficial final results.
Brossmer, who was unopposed in District 3, and Marquez also won. His race was tighter than Saab's.
Saab, an attorney who owns a law firm, is the president elect of the Downey Chamber of Commerce, but said he will resign before his December council swearing in.
Saab is the vice president of the Southeast District Bar Association and a member of the legislative committee and the chairperson of the City Affairs Committee of the Downey Chamber of Commerce.
Saab also is active with the Downey Association of Realtors, serving on the Professional Standards-Ethics Committee and on the Grievance Committee.
Saab said his priorities are job creation, public safety, fiscal responsibility, upgrading parks, expanding the arts and making City Hall more accessible to residents.
A lifelong Downey resident, Saab, who has a 4-year-old son, Dominic, with his wife, Giovanna, said he was elected to make tough decisions.
"Residents want an honest, ethical person who will make tough decisions," Saab said. "That's what we all want, and I am committed to do that."

text: Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2011 (Revised May 2012) Heavy Metal (A): Baosteel Enters Brazil What is Baosteel, a top Chinese steelmaker, doing in Brazil? The company is responding to the Chinese government's "go global" policy and to the possible rise in iron ore input costs. But steel mills are complex, capital-intensive projects, and Brazil is an emerging market that poses manifold risks to foreign investors. Vale do Rio Doce, Baosteel's prospective partner, is an iron miner with little experience in steelmaking. Baosteel must evaluate whether it is choosing the right company, and site for its first overseas greenfield investment.
