1. Football Camps This Week | So you know how all of these other colleges are getting commits right now? It's because they are all doing these summer camps. These sort of camps tend to produce a lot of commits because this is a situation where some of the players that can't afford to go visit a school, they can afford to go to a camp that is in their neck of the woods. There are pretty good odds that we'll be doing a few "Recruiting on the South Plains" over the next week or so. In any event, the Texas Tech Sport Camps website has has all of the details, but here's a summary:
North Dallas Mini-Camp - June 10th
Location: Rockwall-Heath High School
South Dallas Mini-Camp - June 11th
Location: Lancaster High School
East Texas Mini-Camp - June 12th
Location: Longview High School
North Houston Mini-Camp - June 13th
Location: Cypress-Ridge High School
South Houston Mini-Camp - June 14th
Location: Manvel High School
Central Texas Mini-Camp - June 15th
Location: New Braunfels High School
High School 3-Day Camp - June 17th - 19th
Location: Texas Tech University
High School Mini Camp - June 18th
Location: Texas Tech University
This looks like it is going to shape up to be a really busy month.
2. Masek, Wheeler and McCrummen Drafted | Congrats to pitchers Trey Masek (5th Round - Cubs), Andre Wheeler (15th - White Sox) and Jerad McCrummen (23rd Round - Rockies) for all being drafted in the MLB draft. There were five high school signees that were drafted: RHP Casey Meisner (3rd Round - Mets), RHP Thaddius Lowry (5th Round - White Sox), RHP Zac Reininger (8th Round - Tigers), LHP Ty Damron (13th Round - Dodgers), and RHP Ryan Moseley (36th Round - Rays). The LAJ has further details.
3. Track and Field NCAA Championships | The official site has the details, but the men's team finished 24th and the women's team finished tied for 49th in the NCAA Championships. This is the men's 4th straight top 25 appearance. Congrats to all.
4. NCAA Things | SB Nation has a couple of stories this morning. Up first, it appears that Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany admitted that the Big Ten going to a smaller Division III type of model was just a bluff. Miami booster Nevin Shapiro made numerous claims about Miami players throwing games, but the NCAA investigation found no evidence of that.

WASHINGTON -- One of the largest labor unions in the U.S. will get a bit larger on Thursday, when the 1.5-million strong American Federation of Teachers enters into a new affiliation with the National Federation of Nurses union.
Both unions billed the affiliation as mutually beneficial: The AFT expands its ranks in the growing health care sector, while the nurses' union, which has 34,000 registered nurses in four states, hitches itself to a national federation with heavy clout both in the workplace and in politics.
Leaders from both unions described the affiliation as a natural fit, given the professional commonalities between teaching and nursing. Just as the AFT has been battling school boards over issues like classroom size, they said, so too have nurses been fighting hospitals and health care companies over staffing levels and nurse-to-patient ratios.
"We've always thought that as a union of professionals, nurses and health care were a very important piece," said AFT President Randi Weingarten, noting that the teachers' union already had 48,000 nurses among its members. "The professional issues -- patient care, like the care of children -- are really important to nurses, just as they are to teachers."
Barbara Crane, president of the nurses' union, said the affiliation would give her previously small union a much larger platform, as well as grant it membership in the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in the country.
"We want to get into a big professional union that can amplify the voice of nurses, so you can impact health care and patient care," Crane said. "When you think about people who serve the community, we face the same kinds of problems. We've got short staffing, they've got crowded classrooms."
Even as organized labor's ranks continue to contract, with the ratio of unionized workers hitting a historic low last year, unions like the AFT see an opportunity to grow in health care, particularly among the nation's 2.7 million nurses. In seeking a larger partner, the nurses' union had been courted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees as well as the Office and Professional Employees International Union.
Crane and Weingarten said the relationship came at a particularly critical time for the nurses' union, as new regulations under the Affordable Care Act, known colloquially as Obamacare, start to go into effect. They hoped the affiliation could give their member nurses more muscle at a time when the job itself is about to change.
"I've read it, and I find the ACA extremely confusing," Crane laughed. Perhaps, she added, with more influence "we can get a foothold with our nurses and guide them through process."
Crane's union has members in Montana, Ohio, Oregon and Washington, and the new affiliation will give those state organizations the ability to create charters as AFT locals. Crane and Weingarten both said organizing will be a high priority, as the AFT tries to bring more nurses into the fold.
"We're really excited," Weingarten said. "This partnership runs counter to all those stories about labor's demise. [This] broadens the platform from which we do our organizing, and from which we have a voice."

Today, let's look at an MEP related issue, loading the IES photometric web data for a light source, plus all the exciting things happening both for myself in the next weeks and for Autodesk as a company as a whole, reinventing itself for the modern cloud-based collaborative sharing technoculture:
- The first annual Autodesk X summit
- Jeremy's January:
- Loading the IES photometric web data for a light source
The First Annual Autodesk X Summit
You may have noticed a global trend towards more openness, collaborativity, sharing, community building in software and other businesses as well.
I hope you are taking note and embracing this for yourself, just as I am.
As we embark on this new year 2016, Autodesk is going through a time of unprecedented change in every way. Although change is challenging, and at times uncomfortable, we are truly excited to be on this journey with you.
You can get an impression of some of the directions we are headed by taking a look at
This experience works best when viewed in Chrome
Last October, we held our first annual Autodesk X Summit.
This event marked an exciting moment in Autodesk history – the beginning of the era of experiences over technologies. As we transform from a company that sells software products to companies into a platform company that offers services and solutions, we have to place human-centred experience design at the heart of our work and company culture to be successful. This new way of working cannot involve only those in the traditional design or experience roles – delivering excellent experiences for our customers is a shared responsibility for every one of us.
In this spirit, the Autodesk X Summit was broadly inclusive, and gathered designers, engineers, architects, product leaders, customer advocates, salespeople, and makers from all across the company and the globe. This event marked the beginning of our connected culture, our experience-led era, that binds us all together.
We curated some of the best content and highlights of the event into a virtual experience which will give you a sense of what happened at the X Summit, and hopefully inspire you to find ways to start to design, connect & lead in your own work.
I invite you to explore the experience, watch the videos, and join this transformation. I am excited to work together with you in 2016 and moving forward.
Jeremy's January
I will be travelling quite a bit in the next couple of weeks, but only to places beginning with the letter 'M'.
I would love to run into you at one of the venues listed below.
DevDay in Munich
This year, we will be holding just one single DevDay conference in Europe, in Munich on Monday January 18.
Attending DevDays is the best way for you to keep abreast of, and maintain compatibility with, new Autodesk web service and desktop technologies.
DevDays has always been about looking at our newest products, features, and services.
As always, you will see and learn about the upcoming enhancements in the desktop platform capabilities and APIs.
This year, we will also cover the Autodesk Forge Cloud Services, providing a technology and business platform for a new generation of connected Cloud, Web and Mobile apps and based on our web services such as View & Data, AutoCAD I/O, Fusion 360, BIM 360, ReCap 360, and InfraWorks 360.
For the web service APIs, the learning curve is steep, and a few hours during a DevDay conference is just not enough.
Therefore, new for this year, we are appending a four day abbreviated form of the Autodesk Cloud Accelerator program, cf. below.
Registration is easy. Simply visit the event website at autodeskdevdays.com > Munich for full information and click on Register Now.
If you have any questions about this event, please don't hesitate to contact us at [email protected].
Please keep in mind that part of material at Developer Days is forward-looking and confidential, so you will be required to sign a non-disclosure agreement to attend.
Accelerator Workshop
As said, you can extend your and deepen your exploration of the Autodesk web services by staying on after the DevDay conference and participating in all or part of a four day abbreviated form of the Autodesk Cloud Accelerator program.
The Accelerator workshops provide an unparalleled opportunity for you to learn and work intensively on your chosen project with direct face-to-face help, support and training from Autodesk Cloud Engineering experts.
Invest a few days now – you will save precious development time later and significantly accelerate your learning curve and project development.
BIM Workshop in Madrid
Directly after the DevDay conference and accelerator workshop, I will head off to Madrid for the BIM Programming Workshop there.
As the name implies, it is focused on architectural programming and dives into both desktop and web based aspects, including hands-on workshops exploring the Revit and View and Data APIs.
To explore the detailed agenda and register for the workshops, please visit bimprogramming.com.
Loading the IES Photometric Web Data for a Light Source
Question: How can I programmatically load an IES file defining the photometric web of a light source?
In the user interface, I have to first select the IES file in the file system:
Then, I can specify the photometric web file name as a property on the light source:
Now I wish to achieve the same result programmatically.
Answer: The built-in parameter FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE just stores the IES file name.
The IES file data defined in the file is stored separately in the parameter FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE_CACHE.
So, here is a possible way to load the IES file by API:
- Open the IES file and read its data into a string.
- Set the string of IES file data into parameter FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE_CACHE.
- Set the IES file name to parameter FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE.
Good luck!
Addendum by Joel Spahn: Setting the
FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE parameter to the full file path (not just the file name) will update both the
FILE and
CACHE parameters:
BuiltInParameter.FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE )
.Set( filepath );
Note that reading and writing the
FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE_CACHE directly is a bit tricky since it is encoded and not simply a string representing the IES file contents.
Addendum 2 by Joshua Lumley in his comment below:
Here is the tricky part; the encoding directive is
using System.Text:
if( myFamilySymbol.LookupParameter( "Photometric Web File" ) != null ) { string myString_Filename = myFamilySymbol.get_Parameter( BuiltInParameter.FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE ) .AsString(); string myString_IESCache = myFamilySymbol.get_Parameter( BuiltInParameter.FBX_LIGHT_PHOTOMETRIC_FILE_CACHE ) .AsString(); byte[] data = System.Text.UnicodeEncoding.Unicode .GetBytes( myString_IESCache ); File.WriteAllBytes( myString_YourDirectory + myString_Filename, data ); }

Tips for Writing a Successful Grant Proposal
At Willamette, opportunities abound for students to pursue independent research-from independent study courses, to university grants and foundation awards. When writing a grant proposal for an independent research project, you should keep the following tips in mind. And for further assistance, consult with your professors or make an appointment with the Writing Center.
Part I. Formulation
Early development can be key to the success of your proposal. Before you begin writing, think critically about your project.
Tip #1: Choose a good topic.
More easily said than done! Your faculty advisor should help you to narrow and clarify your topic, so that your proposal is specific, focused and more importantly, manageable. The best research topic, however, will be the one you're most excited about. If you aren't fascinated and galvanized by your research topic, your readers won't be excited either. And if you're bored with your topic before you've even begun your research, well, you're going to have a long, long summer.
Tip #2: Do your preliminary research.
Read widely in your subject area before you begin writing. Become familiar with the field, its principal issues, and major contributors. Put together an annotated bibliography. Consider what contribution your research will make. By the time you sit down to write your proposal, you should know what you want to research, but you should not yet be trying to synthesize your research.
Tip #3: Envision the final product.
Your project should result in a concrete final product, such as a written investigative report, or a creative work. Although you cannot fully anticipate what final form your project will take, it is important to have a vision of what it might be. If your project is an activity of some kind, devise a method to document it so that the committee will have concrete evidence of your work.
Part II. Composition
Writing the proposal is often the most difficult component of a research project. Be prepared: give yourself enough time to write, rewrite, and revise.
Tip #4: Brainstorm, brainstorm, brainstorm!
It can hardly be said too many times-brainstorm! Talk to friends, family, and faculty to clarify your ideas. Schedule a "pre-draft" advising session at the Writing Center. Freewrite as a way of getting your ideas on paper. Get your ideas down first; then think about how to organize them!
Tip #5: Study successful proposals.
Copies of successful Carson Research Grant proposals, and final reports, have been uploaded to the Academic Commons website (get there through the Hatfield Library webpage--there is a link on the main webpage for the Carson program, and also the main page for the library). Browse through the files, and examine two or three proposals on topics similar to yours. Study them carefully to get ideas for ways of presenting your project.
Tip #6: Be specific.
Take time to consider your research methods and plan a budget. Don't just guess and say, "Trip to Alaska: $500." Go online for a realistic estimate on airline tickets, accommodations, and other expenses. Approach your methodology and research timeline in the same way; if you need to make adjustments later, you can. It is important, though, that you convince the committee that not only is your project doable-you've figured out how to do it.
Part III. Revision
Revision is critical. Don't expect to write one draft of your proposal and be awarded a grant. A good proposal will take several revisions; be sure to give yourself time.
Tip #7: Be concise and organized.
Clearly differentiate the various parts of the proposal. For instance, in your methodology section, talk only about your methodology. Leave out extraneous information.
Tip #8: Be clear.
The awards committee consists of faculty from a variety of academic disciplines. Your proposal should not be so discipline-specific and jargon-laden that outside readers won't understand. On the other hand, don't dumb your language down so that you insult the educated reader. If necessary, the committee will ask a specialist for an opinion on the project's viability. As you revise, consult a variety of readers, both in your discipline and outside it.
Part IV. Editing
Reread your proposal several times before submitting to the committee.
Tip #9: Avoid errors.
Because errors are easily introduced during the revision process, be sure to reread your text carefully each time you make changes. There is no excuse for grammatical and spelling errors in a grant proposal. Use spell checker by all means, but don't rely on it completely. There's no substitute for careful proofreading.
Tip #10: Make it pretty.
Take some time to format your proposal neatly, with headings and sub-headings where appropriate. A good layout is easier on the eyes of committee members who will be reading many proposals. Word of warning: don't go cutesy, with bright-colored paper and fancy fonts.
There you have it: ten tips to help you write a successful grant proposal. But keep in mind-even if you do everything right, there's still an element of luck. In the world of grant applications, your chances of success depend also on the number and quality of proposals in your subject area. If your proposal isn't accepted, don't view it as a personal attack on your research abilities or your topic. If your project is viable, look for funding from another source. And best of luck!

Rating: R
Stars: Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell, Mykelti Williamson, Joseph Julian Soria, Betty Gabriel, Terry Serpico, Edwin Hodge, Kyle Secor, Liza Colon-Zayas, Brittany Mirabile, Raymond J. Barry
Writer: James DeMonaco
Director: James DeMonaco
Distributor: Universal
Release Date: July 1, 2016
After the original 2013 THE PURGE and its sequel, 2014's THE PURGE: ANARCHY, writer/director/film series creator James DeMonaco is back with THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR. The biggest joke may be that what's going on in the real world this year, politically and otherwise, has become so insane that what started as action horror/farfetched political satire now seems like something that's not altogether out of the realm of possibility.
For those unacquainted with the U.S.A. of the PURGE-verse, the New Founding Fathers of America some years back devised the Purge, a once-a-year dusk-'til-dawn period during which all crime, including murder, is legal. Purge advocates point to the downturn in crime the rest of the year. Purge detractors claim (with reason) that the Purge targets minorities and the poor, who can't find safe shelter during the night.
In THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR, Senator Charlene Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell) is running for U.S. president on an anti-Purge platform. Her opponent, government minister Edwige Owens (Kyle Secor), thinks the Purge is a great thing, as do his backers. Indeed, they think this is a great time to remove the legal protections that formerly kept officials safe during the Purge, so that an assassination attempt on Roan will be legal. However, they reckon without Barnes' chief of security, Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo, reprising his ANARCHY role).
Elsewhere in D.C., convenience store proprietor Joe Dixon (Mykelti Williamson) decides to defend the premises when his Purge insurance is abruptly canceled, his friend Laney (Betty Gabriel) cruises the streets in an illegal Good Samaritan van, and activist Dante Bishop (Edwin Hodge, back from the first two PURGE movies, may have more on his mind than just rhetoric this time.
THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR is modestly budgeted, but still big enough and loud enough for its own purposes. DeMonaco continues to stage bloody craziness and brutality, but still give righteous pushback. The PURGE films are in fact a bit like MAD MAX movies – taking brutality into the realm of horror, then delivering kickass vengeance. Granted, the most high-minded characters here are true to their (relatively) nonviolent convictions, but they seem to be the PURGE's version of lip service. The movie wants to talk about abuse of power, writ large, and then the satisfaction of getting rid of it.
Any similarity between the rhetoric we hear in THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR and on the real nightly news appears wholly intentional. In fact, get distracted even a tiny bit, and you may think the arguments are about gun control instead of twelve hours of lawlessness.
There is, of course, plenty going on here. We wonder how and why our main characters will link up, who will survive, and what kinds of madness they'll encounter in the darkness. Brittany Mirabile makes a memorably psychotic teen shoplifter. Within the cast, Williamson and Gabriel are standouts, and Grillo is solid. Mitchell seems a little too sweet to be a career politician, but Raymond J. Barry hits all the right notes as a mover and shaker who feels entitled to everything he's got.
THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR has its saggy moments. When the plot strands start overlapping and the good guys have to confer about what they're doing and why, the momentum slows. Then again, the wild, revved-up parts are zesty and demented. Much of THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR may remind you of low-budget Seventies science-fiction, the kind where filmmakers had something they wanted to talk about and trusted they'd find the right audience. There's something very hopeful in that. And, for those who like this subgenre, this is one of the good ones.

Why aren't the Irish winning?
| Friday, April 23, 2004
Andrew Soukup, Senior Staff Writer
Say what you want about Notre Dame's last decade (and there's plenty you can say). But we haven't seen a true Tyrone Willingham Irish team. In his first year, everything that could go right did go right as the Irish won their first eight games en route to a 10-3 season. Last year, everything that could go wrong did go wrong in a 5-7 season.Academics aren't keeping the Irish from winning. Neither is recruiting, especially since the Irish have 40 alumni in the NFL – the most of any school. Instead, the Irish are victims of an insanely tough schedule in a more equal college football environment against which any team in the nation would be bound to lose at least once.Those who say football doesn't matter to administrators are crazy. Beginning with the Bob Davie firing, Kevin White has devoted an incredible amount of resources to make sure Willingham has what he needs. The rest is up to the coaches and the players.
Heather Van Hoegarden, Sports Editor
Notre Dame football is far from the dominating program that it used to be. But the fact is, the parity in college football has increased immensely and the Irish played the toughest schedule in the nation last year. The list of "problems" could go on – the Irish played with a true freshman under center, they are still learning a new offense, it's hard to get players to play for Notre Dame that are smart and good at football. So don't worry – at least not yet. The current Irish team is talented. The Class of 2007, with the likes of Brady Quinn and Victor Abiamiri, has the potential to be great. And if these players live up to expectations, Notre Dame will win under Tyrone Willingham. If Notre Dame wins, smart, talented athletes will come. And if Notre Dame gets the talent, they will continue to win. Athletes come to Notre Dame to win, and no one wants the program to be successful more than the guys in the blue and gold. Now is the time for the Irish to win. They have the tools and the coaching. They just need to believe.
Pat Leonard, Associate Sports Editor
Watching the Irish take down No. 6 Michigan in 2002 was thrilling. Watching them lose by a combined score of 82-14 to USC and Florida State in 2003 was not.The Irish had a mediocre season at best this past fall as players still try to grasp the offensive, and a mid-season quarterback switch and one of the most difficult schedules in the country put the Irish backs against the wall. Still, these factors do not even begin to describe or explain what has happened to the Notre Dame football program.The recruiting class this winter barely made the top 30 nationally. And the teams beating the Irish out – USC, Michigan, Tennessee – are all on the schedule next season.There's nothing wrong with playing the best and most competitive teams, but next season Tyrone Willingham will have his work cut out for him.This spring, injuries have kept many starters out of action, but the practices have been no less intense.Next season will be as important as any in determining the direction the Irish could be headed in, if any at all.

Having the right place to study is as important as having good study skills. Your study environment can be a big factor in how successfully you'll learn and retain information and be able to apply it in your assessments and on the job. At an online university , you often have much more control over your study environment than a traditional student stuck in a classroom or campus library might have.
1. Music
A lot of us listen to music while we read, write, and research. But does music help or hurt studying? The answer depends on the individual. But research has shown that studying with headphones on tends to decrease memory and information retention, while background music can be a study aid.
The solution: Background music, especially familiar music you've heard often before, is much easier to "tune out" than other environmental noises like people talking or construction work outside. Listening to familiar background music that isn't too loud or distracting can help drown out other, more distracting environmental noise and can create associations that actually help you remember what you're studying better. But take out those ear buds.
2. Background noise—too much, or too little
Many students, especially those who are easily distracted or who have trouble keeping their attention focused, will find that it doesn't take much noise to pull them out of their reading and into their surroundings. And it's not just about volume – the din of a coffee shop may provide so much noise that it helps screen out other distractions, but a leaky faucet with its intermittent drips may drive you insane and cause you to reread the same sentence four or five times.

Prof. Emily Mower Provost
Emily Mower Provost is a Professor and Associate Chair for Graduate Affairs in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan. She received her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, CA in 2010. She has been awarded a Toyota Faculty Scholar Award (2020), National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2017), the Oscar Stern Award for Depression Research (2015), a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship (2004-2007). She is a co-author on the paper, "Say Cheese vs. Smile: Reducing Speech-Related Variability for Facial Emotion Recognition," winner of Best Student Paper at ACM Multimedia, 2014, and a co-author of the winner of the Classifier Sub-Challenge event at the Interspeech 2009 emotion challenge. Her research interests are in human-centered speech and video processing, multimodal interfaces design, and speech-based assistive technology. The goals of her research are motivated by the complexities of the perception and expression of human behavior.
Research Overview
Emotion has intrigued researchers for generations. This fascination has permeated the engineering community, motivating the development of affective computational models for classification. However, human emotion remains notoriously difficult to interpret both because of the mismatch between the emotional cue generation (the speaker) and cue perception (the observer) processes and because of the presence of complex emotions, emotions that contain shades of multiple affective classes. Proper representations of emotion would ameliorate this problem by introducing multidimensional characterizations of the data that permit the quantification and description of the varied affective components of each utterance. Currently, the mathematical representation of emotion is an area that is underexplored. Research in emotion expression and perception provides a complex and human-centered platform for the integration of machine learning techniques and multimodal signal processing towards the design of interpretable data representations.
Behavioral modeling has important application in the field of assistive technology. In this sphere, it becomes critical to understand how a clinician will perceive the behavior of a patient. Our work focuses on methods to recognize mood for individuals with bipolar disorder and methods to estimate speech intelligibility for people with aphasia.

Congratulations to Jakob (Munk Højte), whose PhD dissertation "Roman Imperial Statue Bases from Augustus to Commodus" now finally is available from Aarhus University Press in the new-format Aarhus Studies in Mediterranean Antiquity (ASMA) vol. 7.
As Philip (Harland) has shown in a series of recent posts epigraphy is an incredibly valuable source to the ancient world. It is also an interdisciplinary field divided between ancient history, classical philology and archaeology, which means that inscriptions sometimes have been neglected in purely archaeological and art historical works. In the case of Roman imperial portraiture, this led to a situation where statue bases and sculpture have mostly been studied separately. This is what Jakob's study aims to change, and he was worked intesively with statistical analysis to gain new insights into the distribution and production of Roman imperial portraits.
Recently, I have also been working with epigraphy and statue bases. The names of "bad" emperors were regularly erased from inscriptions as part of the process of damnatio memoriae (a famous example is the erasure of Geta's name from the Arch of Septimius Severus on the Roman Forum), but I am looking for mutilated inscriptions for my work on early Christian iconoclasm. There are a few examples from Ephesus. In the city's Prytaneum, the name of the goddess Artemis was erased, and there is a similar case from the harbour baths. More soon.
P.S. Philip now gives another nice example of an inscription subjected to damnatio memoriae.

(a) The licensee of a television pickup station authorizes the transmission of program material, orders concerning such program material, and related communications necessary to the accomplishment of such transmissions, from the scenes of events occurring in places other than a television studio, to its associated television broadcast station, to an associated television relay station, to such other stations as are broadcasting the same program material, or to the network or networks with which the television broadcast station is affiliated. Television pickup stations may be operated in conjunction with other television broadcast stations not aformentioned in this paragraph: Provided, That the transmissions by the television pickup station are under the control of the licensee of the television pickup station and that such operation shall not exceed a total of 10 days in any 30-day period. Television pickup stations may be used to provide temporary studio-transmitter links or intercity relay circuits consistent with § 74.632 without further authority of the Commission: Provided, however, That prior Commission authority shall be obtained if the transmitting antenna to be installed will increase the height of any natural formation or man-made structure by more than 6.1 meters (20 feet) and will be in existence for a period of more than 2 consecutive days. Note: As used in this subpart, "associated television broadcast station" means a television broadcast station licensed to the licensee of the television auxiliary broadcast station and with which the television auxiliary station is licensed as an auxiliary facility. (b) A television broadcast STL station is authorized to transmit visual program material between the studio and the transmitter of a television broadcast station for simultaneous or delayed broadcast. (c) A TV relay station is authorized to transmit visual program material between TV broadcast stations for simultaneous or delayed broadcast, or may be used to transmit visual program material from a remote pickup receiver site of a single station. (d) The transmitter of an STL, TV relay station or TV translator relay station may be multiplexed to provide additional communication channels. A TV broadcast STL or TV relay station will be authorized only in those cases where the principal use is the transmission of television broadcast program material for use by its associated TV broadcast station. However, STL or TV relay stations so licensed may be operated at any time for the transmission of multiplexed communications whether or not visual program material is being transmitted, provided that such operation does not cause harmful interference to TV broadcast pickup, STL or TV relay stations transmitting television broadcast program material. (e) Except as provided in paragraphs (a), (d), (f) and (j) of this section, all program material transmitted over a TV pickup, STL, or TV relay station shall be used by or intended for use by a TV broadcast station owned by or under the common control of the licensee of the TV pickup, STL, or TV relay station. Program material transmitted over a TV pickup, STL or TV relay station and so used by the licensee of such facility may, with the permission of the licensee of the broadcast auxiliary facility, be used by other TV broadcast stations and by non-broadcast closed circuit educational TV systems operated by educational institutions. (f) A TV broadcast pickup, STL, or TV relay station may be used for the transmission of material to be used by others, including but not limited to other broadcast stations, cable television systems, and educational institutions. This use shall not interfere with the use of these broadcast auxiliary facilities for the transmission of programs and associated material intended to be used by the television station or stations licensed to or under common control of the licensee of the TV pickup, STL, or TV relay station. This use of the broadcast auxiliary facilities must not cause harmful interference to broadcast auxiliary stations operating in accordance with the basic frequency allocation, and the licensee of the TV pickup, STL, or TV relay station must retain exclusive control over the operation of the facilities. Prior to operating pursuant to the provisions of this section, the licensee shall, for the intended location or area-of-operation, notify the appropriate frequency coordinatioin committee or any licensee(s) assigned the use of the proposed operating frequency, concerning the particulars of the intended operation and must provide the name and telephone number of a person who may be contacted in the event of interference. (g) Except as provided in paragraph (d) of this section, a television translator relay station is authorized for the purpose of relaying the programs and signals of a television broadcast station to television broadcast translator stations for simultaneous retransmission. (h) A TV microwave booster station is authorized to retransmit the signals of a TV pickup, TV STL, TV relay, or TV translator relay station. (i) TV broadcast auxiliary stations authorized pursuant to this subpart may additionally be authorized to supply programs and signals of TV broadcast stations to cable television systems or CARS stations. Where the licensee of a TV broadcast auxiliary station supplies programs and signals to cable television systems or CARS stations, the TV auxiliary licensee must have exclusive control over the operation of the TV auxiliary stations licensed to it. Contributions to capital and operating expenses may be accepted only on a cost-sharing, non-profit basis, prorated on an equitable basis among all parties being supplied with program material. (j) A broadcast network-entity may use television auxiliary service stations to transmit their own television program materials to broadcast stations, other broadcast network-entities, cable systems and cable network-entities: Provided, however, that the bands 1990-2110 MHz, 6425-6525 MHz and 6875-7125 MHz may be used by broadcast network-entities only for television pick-up stations.

Winter break is always a great time to simply take a load off and enjoy just sitting at home with your friends and family. Don't get me wrong, I love being at SC, but there is literally no place like home. The older you go along in your years, the more you begin to appreciate it; even if you were the person who is so ready to leave home. Every year I make a bunch of plans to go see friends across the country, but as soon as my plane lands back in Baltimore, all I want to do is stay home and see my friends from high school. This winter break was still eventful and exciting though. Coming in with plans to go off to Mexico turned into simply staying home, playing some video games and enjoying somewhat call winter in Maryland.
The first couple days when I got back, I simply enjoyed them with my family and caught up on the movies I didn't have time to see. The very first night I got back, I drove up to Virginia to see my cousin Cameron and Rogue One. Never was a crazy Star Wars fan, but honestly I'm starting to become one after this one. If you haven't seen it yet, go see it.
On my grandma's birthday, I able to make it to the new African American History Museum in DC. It was one of the most well done museums in DC, but also was one of the largest I've been through. We spent about an hour and a half there, but even then, we were not able to go through each exhibit thoroughly. The museum took my family on a path throughout history beginning with the Transatlantic Slave trade all the way through Obama's presidency. The amount of detail in each exhibit was incredible. Instead of most museums where they have a tour guide, this museum had speakers that guided us every step of the way. We had to leave to make it to my grandma's birthday lunch, but I can't wait to go back and explore the museum more.
Lastly, I could do a little traveling, but only for a day. I traveled to Chicago to go visit my roommate and watch friends perform at a concert. Chicago is amazing if you've never been there. It is probably one of my favorite cities since it has a New York feel without all the people. Don't get me wrong New York is cool, but I just feel so crammed when I visit. Chicago was the perfect amount of congestion and people roaming the streets even though it was like 10 degrees outside. Throughout the day, I spent time in the city and at night could see my friends perform. Back stage passes are even cooler than you think especially when you are back there with your friends. My friends that performed names are Chris and Hayden, but their stage names are Felly and Gyyps. It was great seeing them perform and I must go again.
My winter break was full of fun and I made the most out of my last college winter break. I got to see shows, family, friends and my couch. Honestly, I couldn't ask for more.

In early 1819 on Britain's gallant shores The people all were suffering after many bloody wars There wasn't much employment and life was hard and grim But down in the cape they were short of men so they sent civilians in There's trouble in the colony, our soldiers cannot cope We'll send a band of settlers in, that is our only hope We'll offer them a future and a hundred acres of ground In all of Britain in these hard times, I'm sure the men can be found. You gentlemen of Britain, I'll have you gather near The grandest Proclamation you quickly shall hear The govermment are asking for men both brave and true If you sail away to the cape in the South, there's 100 acres for you Now ninety thousand people soon answered to the call "Alas," cried the government, "We cannot send you all. There's room for but five thousand, men women and children, too The lofty ships lie waiting in dock for they are to transport you." There's carpenters and blacksmiths and silversmiths as well There's officers and soldiers just freshly out of hell From Ireland,Wales and Scotland and England they came Tailors, clockmakers, journeymen, farmers, professional men were game. We'll leave behind our homelands our families and friends We're bound to settle in that land where Africa does end We're brave and gallant heroes, we'll do the best that we can We'll raise the flag of the red white and blue and we'll prosper in that land. per kind permission of Miriam Erasmus.

Get Up and Learn!
Anne Harris Wilcox created Active Learning Games with the belief that movement is key to learning. In collaboration with Rochester artist and designer Jim Barbero, she has created all of ALG's activities and games with this in mind.
Wishes Come True for the Harley School
Harley Middle School science teacher Carly Rivers unpacks the school's new Circulation Game set. The set was put on their wish list, and was provided by a generous donor.
What's New at ALG?
Anne's getting ready to head to San Antonio! She got some wind in her sails from this comment from a University of Rochester student who'd used Build Your Own Body (BYOB) in her Anatomy class last year:
"Anne, I aced the medical school anatomy class, and I couldn't have done it without the previous exposure in your class. Hope you're well and please keep the anatomy class running so more students can see how interesting anatomy can be!"
Anne's packing up to ship Build Your Own Body (BYOB) to this year's National Dance Education Organization (NDEO) Conference in San Antonio. At last year's conference, she received the Outstanding Leadership Award from New York State Dance Education Association (NYSDEA).
Chandra McCloud-Glover of Northwest School of the Arts (Charlotte, NC) discovering Build Your Own Body. BYOB was a huge hit at the conference. Dance educators from all across the country see so many uses for ALG's tactile, kinetic way to learn about muscles and bones.
Check out the newest offering from ALG, Bone-Apart. Building on the concept of Build Your Own Body, Bone-Apart is a set of Magnetic bones that can be used in many ways to learn about bone structure.

New Venue: Startupfest takes over industrial port-side haven
From a cruise ship terminal in 2011 to a private island surrounded by paddle boats and Cirque du Soleil in 2014 – our venues have been anything but predictable. And with a brand new round of speakers, innovative new startups, and an upgrade in experience – we managed to find an even better venue for Startupfest this summer.
Surrounded by water, with an amazing view of the Montreal skyline, Le Jardins des Écluses is the perfect home for 2015's theme of Masters & Models. This venue offers more than just spectacular views, a cool breeze, and a true feel for Montreal's historic city, it will also provide attendees with an unbeatable view of the 31st edition of Montreal's International Firework Festival. (Don't worry, the dress code hasn't changed; shorts, flip-flops, and a cold beer in hand are highly recommended). For the majority of our attendees who are out-of-towners, find places to stay and hotels that offer special Festival rates HERE.

Muyi Yang will present her upcoming NELS talk "Causal networks in discourse: A case of Mandarin negative conditionals" at the LingLunch on Tuesday, October 02, 12:30-13:30 in Oak 338. Abstract below.
Month: September 2018
Talk of interest on 09/28: Yael Sharvit, UCLA
The Logic Colloquium on Friday, September 28 at 2:00pm in Oak 112, will be given by Yael Sharvit (Linguistics, UCLA).
Temporal reference in non-specific indefinites
Non-specific indefinite noun phrases in attitude environments can be transparent or opaque. The interpretation of temporal expressions inside the indefinite is constrained by transparency/opacity. The first fact follows from standard assumptions about attitude reports; the second does not. I propose an account that derives both these facts.
Meeting on 9/28: Mizuno and Yang
On Friday, September 28, 1-2pm in Oak Hall 338, Teruyuki Mizuno and Muyi Yang will be presenting their upcoming NELS poster "Toward a unified account of Japanese evidential youda: a Causal Bayesian approach." Abstract below.

Personal profile
Greg Downey received his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Chicago in 1998. After working at Columbia University and the University of Notre Dame, he moved to Australia in 2006 to take a position at Macquarie University.
Greg's first book, Learning Capoeira: Lessons in Cunning from an Afro-Brazilian Art (Oxford University Press, 2005), brought together an experience-centred, phenomenological analysis of the art of capoeira with research in psychology and the neurosciences about the effects of physical education on perception. He has also co-edited volumes, including The Encultured Brain: An Introduction to Neuroanthropology (MIT Press, 2012) with Daniel H. Lende, and Frontiers of Capital: Ethnographic Reflections on the New Economy (Duke University Press, 2006) with Melissa Fisher.
Greg is the editor of Ethos, the journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology, and has published work in American Anthropologist, Current Anthropology, The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Body & Society, and The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Neuroscience, and is the Editor-in-Chief of Ethos, the journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology.
Greg writes about his research and other anthropological interests on the weblog, PLOS Neuroanthropology (currently inactivated; and its predecessor, Neuroanthropology.net). An up-to-date list of publications, with many off-prints or pre-print drafts can be found at my Google Scholar site.
Research interests
Greg Downey's research focuses on the effects of skill acquisition and bodily training, especially on motor and sensory learning, from an integrativve biocultural and neuroanthropological perspective. He studies these processes in the context of sensory learning, sports, music, dance, and sensory disability. He also has significant secondary research projects in areas of international education, service-based learning, human rights, the 'new economy,' and evolutionary theory.
Greg is currently working with vision impaired individuals who echolocate or use active sonar in their daily lives and with other highly skilled individuals whose abilities require altering how their nervous systems function (such as free divers).
Research in the neurosciences, the psychology of perception, and sports physiology all suggest that highly skilled individuals enculture their bodies and brains at a variety of levels: physiological, neurological, behavioural, and interpretive. Activities like sports are an ideal natural experiment to study the extremes of human potential neuroanthropologically because people do things to their own bodies and brains in the course of developing elite skills that go far beyond what could be attempted in a laboratory.
Understanding the neurological and physiological consequences of training provides a model of what culture does more generally to all of us. This research draws on a wide range of data, theory, and analytical techniques, including qualitative and quantitative methods. Greg argues that it is possible to study cultural variation in cognition, perception, and even brain development from a wide variety of perspectives, and that anthropology is an essential partner for disciplines like cognitive science, cultural neuroscience and cross-cultural psychology that are increasingly recognising that humans vary more than they realisd. Physical disciplines across cultures help us explore the envelope of human self-induced change in cases like capoeira and mixed martial arts, echolocation in the blind, metabolic change in free divers, and cognitive skills in rugby and other sports.
Greg has also conducted a range of research in Learning and Teaching at the tertiary level, especially on ways to promote greater cross-cultural learning in students travelling or studying abroad. This research includes a number of collaborative projects: 'Bringing the learning home: re-entry programmes to enhance study abroad outcomes in Australian universities,' 'EPITOME: Enhancing programmes to integrate tertiary outbound mobility experiences,' and 'Classroom of many cultures: co-creating support curriculum with international community partners and students.' All received funding from Australian national research bodies.
Currently, Greg teaches a range of units in anthropology and socio-cultural theory. He has taught innovative courses, including running a field school in socio-cultural anthropology in Fiji in collaboration with staff from the Unviersity of the South Pacific. He has won awards for his teaching, including most notably the Macquarie University Vice Chancellor's Award for Teaching Excellence in 2013.
Over the course of his career, he has designed and delivered a wide range of classes, including:
- Research Paradigms (Masters of Research core unit in theory)
- Psychological Anthropology: Body, Brain, Culture
- Culture and Human Rights
- Wealth, Poverty and Consumption
- Human Evolution and Diversity
- Culture, Commodities and Consumption
- Doing Ethnography: Ethnographic Field Methods

Amir Alexander's Flux Interview for the new album!
Shout out Just Jack for sorting the press/promo etc.
Shout out Flux, Dan Heller, and Julia for being so gracious and accommodating.
This music industry is so weird. I get mad love from a very small pocket of clued in/influential heads, but then completely ignored by the majority
of the scene.
I guess this is what it is to be truly underground. The real heads and critics champion you, but "commercial success" eludes.
Either way, the work/discography is there.
Whether I gig and am popular, or whether I disappear into obscurity. Anyone who is really paying attention cannot help but see/hear.
An interview with Amir Alexander

I've been on this kick of revamping vintage telephones. I buy them on the cheap at a local thrift store and I never run out of ideas. Aside from selling them, I also like to have them in use around my house. Yes, I'm a weird one who still has a land line. So Mad Men of me! There is nothing like holding a heavy handset up to your ear: So retro, sexy and cool!
If you want to make over a vintage telephone, here are my tips!
1. Don't think so much about the case or the cord of your vintage telephone, you can always clean it off. The most important thing is to make sure the phone works. If you are at a thrift store, ask for them to plug it in so you can hear the dial and ring tone.
2. Make sure it has a modern adapter plug. Some of the really old phones have loose wires. you don't want to mess with that.
3. Remove the outer casing of the phone. To do this, turn the phone upside down and use a screwdriver to remove the screws. Carefully lift off the casing. Now, pick up the handset and unscrew the voice and ear piece.
4. Use a wipey to clean the phone's casing, scrub it really well to remove any germs. Inside the casing too!
Now it's time to decorate – there are endless ways! Here is how I made this phone:
– Use spray paint as a base for your new color. I used different colors! Let it dry.
– Coat the top of the handset with Aleene's Clear Gel Tacky Glue and add Tulip PDA Crystals.
– Use a permanent marker to draw doodled designs. Add more crystals.
– Use nail polish and a gold leafing pen to finish the edges, this will make them look polished.
I replaced the cord with a new black one, I feel like it ties it all together!
