The University of the Arts (UArts) is one of the United States' oldest universities dedicated to the arts. Its campus makes up part of the Avenue of the Arts in Center City, Philadelphia. The University is composed of two colleges: the College of Art, Media and Design (CAMD) and the College of Performing Arts (CPA).
Contents |
History [edit]
The University was created in 1985 by the merger of the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts (PCPA) and the Philadelphia College of Art (PCA), two schools that trace their origins to the 1870s.
In 1870, the Philadelphia Musical Academy (PMA) was created. Seven years later, the Philadelphia Conservatory of Music (PCM) was founded. In 1944, the Children's Dance Theatre, later known as the Philadelphia Dance Academy (PDA), was founded by Nadia Chilkovsky Nahumck. In 1962, the PCM was merged into the PMA. In 1976, the PMA acquired the PDA and renamed itself the Philadelphia College of the Performing Arts (PCPA). After establishing a School of Theater in 1983, the institution became the first performing arts college in Pennsylvania to offer a comprehensive range of majors in music, dance and theater. This institution is now the College of Performing Arts.
In 1876, the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art (PMSIA) was founded as both a museum and an art school. In 1938, the museum changed its name to the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the school became the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art. In 1964, the school became independent of the museum and renamed itself the Philadelphia College of Art (PCA). This institution is now the College of Art, Media and Design.
Twelve years after the merger, in 1996, the University added a third academic division, the College of Media and Communication.

Jesus Is Coming Again
John W. Peterson, Text and Music
1) Marvelous message we bring;
Glorious carol we sing,
Wonderful word of the King:
Jesus is coming again!
Coming again, coming again!
May be morning, may be noon,
May be evening and May be soon!
Coming again, coming again!
O what a wonderful day it will be-
Jesus is coming again!
2) Forest and flower exclaim,
Mountain and meadow the same,
All earth and heaven proclaim:
Jesus is coming again!
3) Standing before Him at last,
Trial and trouble all past,
Crowns at His feet we will cast.
Jesus is coming again!

The analyser of electrical quality Fluke 430 Series II is a new team designed and commercialised by the North American multinational Fluke Corporation that incorporates technology developed and patented by the UPV. The team measures the losses of the electrical systems of a pioneering form in the world.
Before, only the experts could calculate the quantity of power that was losing by problems related with the electrical quality. With some utilities could calculate the cost but the process of necessary measurement was out of the scope of the half technician. With the new function patented UPM of the 430 Series II, the electricians, technicians of services in field, electrical engineers and advisers of power can determine automatically and of form very simple the quantity of power ineficiente and calculate exactly the extra cost in consumption with an alone portable tool.
The new analysers of the North American multinational are the first of the market to able world-wide level to measure directly the losses of power in electrical systems because of problems in the electrical quality and calculate his cost. The energetic losses prescindibles are caused so much by ineficiencias of the electrical receptors, as by the bad quality in the supply of electrical power.
"Knowing these last losses of an electrical system the user can act to delete them. In this way, the new electrical analyser of Fluke Corporation will help to that we pay by the power that are consuming, no by the power that distributes of form ineficiente and that really do not consume", stood out Vicente León, researcher of the Institute of Energetic Engineering (IIE) of the Universitat Politècnica of València.
Fluke Corporation Has included in his analyser 430 Series II the function UPM (Unified Power Measurement, Theory Unified of the Power). The implementation of said function in the team of Fluke is fruit of the conjoint work between the North American multinational and the Universitat Politècnica of València. It has his origin in an algorithm patented by the UPV and developed by Vicente León and Joaquín Montañana, researchers of the Institute of Energetic Engineering of this institution.
"Unified Power supposes a milestone, when being the first time that an instrument of measure includes the capacity to quantify and identify of automatic form the losses of power and his origin. Even it allows to the user, by means of the introduction of the applicable electrical prices, calculate the cost in money of said losses", stood out Joaquín Montañana.
The researchers of the UPV realised different proofs of field to analyse the loss power in different types of installations: industrial, commercial and domestic. As they signal Joaquín Montañana and Vicente León, in some cases registered the losses of power could reduce to such an extent that the half saving in the consumption would arrive to be something upper to 65%, in the group of all the electrical system.
As it indicates Vicente León, the connection to the electrical installations of devices of compensation adapted would download in at least 20% the transformers of the electrical networks in Spain, improving the operation of the electrical system and avoiding problems of cuttings in the supply.

Heat oil in a large, heavy stockpot over medium heat. Add shallot; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes. Add wine; bring to a boil. Add tomatoes and chorizo. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add mussels. Cover, and continue to cook, shaking pot occasionally.
We thought this was an excellent recipe and we eat a lot of mussels, prepared many ways. We didn't find dried chorizo readily available, so we used the fresh, about 4 oz.. Decrease the amount of oil added to the pan and cook the chorizo along with the garlic/shallots, then added the tomatoes, wine. All the luscious flavors stick to the mussels and make an amazing sauce to dip into with toasted baguette.

Definition of ChancreChancre: The classic painless ulcer of syphilis. The chancre forms in the first (primary) stage of syphilis. It is highly contagious and can last 1-5 weeks. The disease can be transmitted from contact with the ulcer, which is teeming with spirochetes. If the ulcer is outside of the vagina or on the scrotum of the male, the use of condoms may not help in preventing transmission of the disease. Likewise, if the ulcer is in the mouth, merely kissing the infected individual can spread syphilis. The word chancre is the French for a little ulcer. Chancre and the English canker come from the Latin cancer for crab. Why? Perhaps because chronic ulcers can be hard like the shell of a crab.

The Tutor
nytheatre.com review by Melanie N. Lee
August 12, 2011
As a college writing tutor, I work safely in an office, never entering the family life of my clientele. Not so with Meredith, the lead character of The Tutor, written by Kate Mulley and directed by Ben Gougeon and Doug Spagnola.
A Yale Law graduate who never took the bar, Meredith, age 27, is a cool, polished, and "hot" professional without a profession. She earns her living two ways: as a respectable SAT tutor to high school kids in their homes, and as a sultry saleswoman of worn lingerie—worn by her, that is—over the privacy of her personal computer. The wide screen center stage shows her enlarged image as she, as her alter ego "Cassandra" in bra and open bathrobe, intimates into her video blog. As herself, Meredith shares Skype chats with Josh, her very busy lawyer fiancé. She won't wear an engagement ring because she doesn't want to feel possessed.
The wide screen shows overlaps of messages: Meredith arranging tutoring sessions and dates with Josh, Cassandra receiving underwear orders and receiving messages like "You are a slut. Get self-respect," which she promptly deletes. Also overlapping: the screen shows not just SAT multiple-choice test questions, which go unanswered, but alternating quotes from the novels Pride and Prejudice, about the social mores of courtship, and The Master and Margarita, a story-within-a-story. Gradually, Meredith's two lives begin to overlap as well. Her sixteen-year-old client, Greg Jameson, a shy soccer player, sneaks beers from the fridge for them to share during tutoring sessions, and he develops a crush on her. As the sexual tension builds and Meredith's behavior becomes more questionable and Greg's more frantic, we see someone sneak a hot pink thong from a pocket and take a sniff...
Most of The Tutor is performed in a quiet, subdued manner, with the sexual tension bubbling underneath, rising slowly until it boils over into turmoil. The play is overall entertaining and provocative enough, and has its engrossing moments. The actors give good performances all around: Olivia Galliant as the young woman whose two lives may belie a resistance to fitting into conventional young adulthood; Ian Way as the boy who uses Meredith as a social or romantic crutch; Valerie Lonigro as Sandra, the concerned mother who confides to Meredith her dissatisfaction with her marriage (and who is prettier than the actresses usually cast in this kind of role); Bradford Cover as Jake, the father with ambitions for his son and needs of his own; and Valance Thomas as Josh, the too-distant fiancé (who is using too low a speaking voice on stage).
Theater, a millennia-old medium, has the challenge of presenting our 21st-century technological world on stage, and The Tutor handles this brilliantly. Although we human beings have had our secrets and shames since time immemorial, this production deftly incorporates the PC, Skype, IMs, and how they have impacted our behavior. A couple of technical glitches showed some widescreen images a minute too soon, but this wasn't a major mishap. Graphic designer Faith Crawford, projection designer Ben Gougeon, and scenic designers Gougeon and Doug Spagnola deserve credit for blending technology with the storytelling.
Overall, The Tutor shows us how technology tempts us to expose more than we might have dared, and how sexual frustration taints our lives.

Display advertising has seen a resurgence over the past few years thanks to much improved targeting and testing technologies, but some very significant problems remain.
A new report out from Comscore indicates that 3 out of 10 display ads were never rendered "in-view" in 2012. Despite delivering upwards of six trillion impressions, if users can't see the ad they are certainly unlikely to ever click (or take any action).
For advertisers the lack of "viewable" impressions results in significant waste, weaker campaign performance and poor-performing inventory overall that imbalances the supply-and-demand equation and depresses CPMs. Through the continued adoption of a viewable impressions standard however, the market will likely move toward a model that better aligns monetization with the value created by the inventory according to Comscore.
"2013 is poised to be digital's most exciting year yet as the growing ubiquity of digital platforms presents marketers with nearly endless opportunities to connect and engage with consumers," said Linda Abraham, comScore CMO and EVP of Global Product Development. "It's clear that the dynamics of the marketplace have fundamentally evolved through the adoption of smartphones and tablets and the increasingly 'digital' nature of all media. Navigating this changing landscape requires a holistic understanding of the key trends, underlying drivers and new opportunities that the digital ecosystem will bring in the year ahead."
Comscore provided several insights in its 2013 U.S. Digital Future in Focus report, including details on social media market share, Google and Bing search market share, online video, and ecommerce.

Police: Texas Vending Machine Thieves Arrested After 10 Year Crime Spree
Police say they have arrested a Texas man and woman involved in a long time statewide crime spree.
Jory Merrill and Jaime Seeton are accused of breaking into vending machines around the state.
Surveillance cameras caught them at apartment complexes here in Austin, Fort Worth, Waco, San Antonio and Corpus Christi, police said.
More break-ins have been reported in Bryan/College Station, Engelwood, Bay City, Temple, Grand Prairie, Arlington and even more.
Seguin Detective Jaime Diaz recovered the tools, gloves, coins, cash and notebook, which in detail listed all the cities. He says Merrill hit with gate codes and notes about where every vending machine was located.
"It's what he does. He doesn't really work-every month. They take a five, six day drive and break into different vending machines," Diaz said.
Diaz says Seeton, Merrill's girlfriend, was the getaway driver for 10 years.

Good Coffee, best I have found in the area. Friendly, professional staff. Good Cafe/Restaurant.
For the area, the coffee is not bad. I needed one sugar in mine, and it tasted like the barista had slightly overheated the milk. There are great lounges and plenty of room for kids/prams etc. toilets and high chairs are provided. There is also easy parking and a great park across the road.

This weekend will see Presteigne in Powys play host to the annual electric bike rally, and event the organisers have said,
"If you own an electric bike or are interested in electric bikes or are thinking of buying a bike, there is no better place on earth to be than in Presteigne on the 9th, 10th of May."
Despite its name, however, the event isn't just for hard-core electric bike enthusiasts. The electric bike rally is also about promoting sustainable transportation as an alternative to fossil fuel hungry cars. Last year's rally was a successful event, but organisers are expecting this year's event to be even bigger and better, with a variety of different things going on through the day to keep visitors busy and engaged.

Petroceltic and British firm to merge
DUBLIN-LISTED oil and gas explorer Petroceltic is to merge with Melrose Resources in a deal that will add the British exploration company's cash-generating production to Petroceltic's development portfolio.
This, according to Petroceltic, will create a balanced portfolio, and will transform the company's portfolio from concentration in a single asset to a diversified yet regionally-focused company.
Petroceltic has licences in Algeria, Italy and Kurdistan, while Melrose is focused on Egypt, Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey.
The combined group, which will retain the Petroceltic name, will be headquartered in Dublin.
Petroceltic is listed on the junior market of both the Irish Stock Exchange (ISE) and London Stock Exchange (LSE), while Melrose is on the main market of the LSE. Following the merger, the group expects to apply to list on London's main market, and will also "consider" a dual listing on the ISE "as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter".
Petroceltic shareholders will take a controlling stake in the new company, holding 54 cent, while Melrose will have a 46 per cent share. The group will have a combined market cap of £351 million (€447.7 million) and 170 employees.
Brian Ó Catháin will stay on as chief executive of the new group, with Melrose chief executive David Thomas acting as chief operating officer, and Tom Hickey of Petroceltic taking on the role of chief financial officer.
Robert Adair, current executive chairman of Melrose, will assume to role of non-executive chairman of the new company for at least 18 months, and will take a 23.5 per cent shareholding in the new business, with Hugh McCutcheon, current non-executive chairman of Petroceltic, acting in a non-executive deputy capacity. Speaking yesterday, Mr Ó Catháin said Petroceltic had been in the market for an acquisition since 2007 to maximise the value of its Algerian assets. "We could have done it organically, but this combination leaps us forward about five years."
He said Melrose was "a good fit" because while Petroceltic was of a much bigger scale in terms of reserves Melrose's production capabilities were more developed. It also produced cash.
"They bring the cashflow to create the funding to bring those assets into production," said Mr Hickey.HSBC, an existing lender to Melrose, will provide the new group with a $300 million facility for 18 months, but a larger facility will have to be put in place then.
As part of the deal Melrose shareholders will receive 17.6 new Petroceltic shares for every Melrose share they currently hold, while a special dividend of 4.7p per Melrose share will be paid by Melrose to its shareholders.
The deal values each Melrose share at 148.6p, and the company at £170.4 million, representing a premium of approximately 9.7 per cent to Melrose's closing price of 135.5p on August 16th. Gerry Hennigan, an analyst with Goodbody Stockbrokers, said the deal would provide "greater scale and thus enable the group to fund and develop the assets in a more timely and efficient manner".

Animal Welfare and Research Committee
The HARC office has implemented a new online database for managing animal use protocols: the Human/Animal Research Protocol management system, or HARP. Researchers submitting new protocols, wanting to modify already approved protocols, or for the triennial renewals of existing protocol must use the new system. If you are on an LBNL computer,and logged into anything (gmail, calendar, etc.) where you have already typed in your LDAP password, the HARP system can be accessed through opening a web page and typing in the url goapp/harp. If you are on a non-LBNL computer, you can get access from offsite either by logging on to your LBNL computer remotely, or through the use of Virtual Private Network (VPN) software, available to LBNL employees form the IT Division website. This is a brand new system and we appreciate your patience during our roll-out. You may call the HARC office at x5399 or send email to email@example.com with any questions. Here is a frequently asked questions document, which will no doubt be added to during the year, but meanwhile may be of some use to you. The first few times you use the HARP protocol submission system may be challenging, particularly with the concept of arms/groups where you may separate your different groups of animals by species or strain or experimental path. Here is an overview document that will help you navigate through the system.
All principle lead investigators and their protocol personnel must have an account on the HARP system. The HARC staff are currently setting up new accounts. Please send us all the information requested in this role and account information document for each person listed on the protocol, including the protocol lead investigator, to email@example.com. Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system. This is a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions for additions or clarifications, please contact Dianna Bolt, firstname.lastname@example.com, with your feedback.
Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who will be using animals in their research must create them in the HARP system, after having accounts and profiles created for themselves and all staff on the protocol. While a protocol coordinator may create a protocol, only the protocol lead investigator can submit it for consideration. The submission function is the equivalent of an electronic signature. Note that in lieu of departmental or division head signatures of the paper protocol, the HARC office has created a Departmental Review Verification Document that should be submitted to the researcher's departmental head, along with an account of the planned research, for review and signature. A pdf file or similar can be uploaded into the HARP system on the "Investigator's Assurance" page of the protocol, which is the last page before the final page. Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system. This is a work in progress, so if you have any suggestions for additions or clarifications, please contact Dianna Bolt, firstname.lastname@example.com, with your feedback. If you will be breeding animals you may find this Breeding Colony Size Worksheet helpful in determining the numbers of animals you will need.
Veterinary Pre-review All new protocols will be subject to pre-review by the veterinarian. When a new protocol is submitted its state will change to "veterinary review" in HARP and an email will be sent to the veterinarian with a link to the protocol. The veterinarian will look at the protocol and either send it on to the HARC office or, more likely, make some review notes, suggest some changes, and return it to the researcher. When the latter happens, the protocol lead investigator, and co-lead investigator (if any), and the protocol coordinator (if any) will get an email with a link to the protocol. The suggested changes can be made, justifications can be given, etc., and the protocol can be re-submitted for veterinary review. This may be done a number of times until the veterinarian is satisfied that the protocol may move forward for Animal Welfare and Research Committee review. The vet will send the protocol in the HARP system to the HARC staff and they will put it on the agenda for the next monthly AWRC meeting.
Committee members will review the protocol and may create reviewer notes where they ask questions, ask for justifications, or suggest changes to be made. Once the protocol has been considered at the meeting and voted on, within few days the researcher and staff will receive either an emailed letter of approval, or a letter requesting further changes be made, with a link to the protocol in HARP. If the protocol was approved pending clarification, the suggested changes and clarifications can be responded to and then the protocol can be resubmitted to the HARC office. Once again, the submission may only be done by the protocol lead investigator (PLI). In such cases the AWRC chair, or other designated person, may review the changes and either approve them or send the protocol back to the researcher for further revision. This can go back and forth until the AWRC chair or designated person is satisfied at which time the PLI and staff will receive a letter of approval.
If after a protocol has been reviewed by the committee and requested changes are such that the committee members agree they need to see it again, the PLI and staff will be informed of this by email letter, with changes listed, etc. Revisions must be made and the protocol resubmitted for further committee review.
If you are entering the HARP system and filling out a protocol for the first time,
please contact the HARC office for help. Please call x5399 with any questions.
Dianna Bolt, the AWRC administrator, may be available for an in office visit to
help get started.
Federal law requires that animal use protocols be annually reviewed by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (AWRC at LBNL). For the first two years following initial protocol approval, the researchers may submit the short, 2 page renewal form, as well as the protocol personnel form, detailing animal usage and any possible small changes in procedures used. While we are implementing the new HARP system, researchers may continue using the paper short renewal form until their protocol is up for triennial review.
Short renewal form – rtf
If your protocol is up for triennial renewal, then it must be entered into the HARP system. Please follow instructions given above for entering new protocols into HARP. Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system. This is a project in work, so if you have any suggestions for additions or clarifications, please contact Dianna Bolt, firstname.lastname@example.com, with your feedback.
It sometimes happens that researchers in the midst of conducting their experiments find they must make changes, large or small, to the planned course of procedures. To amend or modify an older protocol, you must enter the protocol into the HARP system. On the first page, indicate that this is a triennial renewal (even if it is not). This will take you to a page where you will be asked for a summary of the research and animal numbers use. The last item on this page will ask you to upload an electronic copy of your previously approved protocol and a detailed description of the modifications you want to be made.Please make sure that this document is very specific about all needed changes: in numbers, species or strains, procedures, personnel and training, animal housing, extra health monitoring, etc. Once you have uploaded these documents, then proceed through the protocol entering the planned and ongoing work, including all the modifications you are asking for. Once this is all done, the PLI may submit the protocol. Such modifications must go through veterinary pre-review, so researchers must submit these modifications according to the schedule below for new protocols. The submission date is always two and one half weeks before the regularly scheduled monthly AWRC meeting. The Committee may ask researchers for revisions and resubmissions of requested modifications, even if changes seem minor. Please be aware that modifications may take up to two months or more for approval.
Follow instructions given above for New Protocols for details on entering your protocol into HARP. Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system. This is a project in work, so if you have any suggestions for additions or clarifications, please contact Dianna Bolt, firstname.lastname@example.com, with your feedback.
When researchers have completed the experiments listed in a given animal use protocol form and the study is at an end, the protocol should be discontinued. In the event that the study was never funded and no work involving animals ever took place, writing a memo or sending an email to the HARC office (email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com) requesting the protocol's discontinuation and stating that no animals were ever used is sufficient. However, if any animals were used under the protocol, then researchers should fill out the 4-5 page form below and submit it to the HARC office for consideration at the next AWRC meeting. The Animal Wefare and Research Committee is mainly focused on the outcome of the study, how many animals were used and of what type, and their final disposition. The committee would also like to see a list of publications flowing from the research, if this is possible. Any questions should be directed to either Dianna Bolt, firstname.lastname@example.com, or to Jack Bartley, chair of the AWRC, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Note, if this protocol has been entered into the HARP system, then it will have to be closed out in HARP. On the HARP page for the protocol, scroll down until you see the New Renewal button near the bottom on the left. Click on this and on the first page fill out as requested, checking the appropriate button near the bottom, 6.0, that indicates that the protocol is to be terminated. You will then be taken to a screen asking for the information described above, about the outcome of the research, the final disposition of the animals, etc.
If principal investigators wish to add a new person or persons to their protocol personnel, and the protocol still exists only in paper form, then the PLI or the protocol coordinator should fill out a new Protocol Personnel Form detailing the duties of the new person(s), have the new person(s) read the approved protocol and sign the new PPF, and submit the new PPF to the HARC office. This must be done before a new researcher begins work with the animals. In most cases, the new personnel can be approved by the AWRC staff. If researchers do not hear from the AWRC office within a few days, they should assume that the new personnel have been approved.
If the protocol has been approved in HARP, then a modification will need to be created for this. On the approved protocol's page, scroll down until you see the "New Modification" button on the left hand side. Click on this to create a new modification, then edit it, then indicate that the change will be one in personnel, etc. Note that new personnel will need to have accounts and profiles created for them first. Have each such person fill out the account information document and send it to the HARC office, firstname.lastname@example.com, or MS 26R143.
All animal research conducted at or in any way sponsored by LBNL must be carried out under an approved Animal Use Protocol. When animal use takes place off site, LBNL must ensure that researchers provide documentation showing that the animals or tissues will be used appropriately and that the animal derived material or data received at LBNL were obtained under an animal use protocol approved by an Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), analogous to the LBNL AWRC, covered by an Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare Assurance or other suitable ethical standards. There are several different types of collaborative research possible. A researcher may wish to conduct joint research with a colleague at a different institution. Or a researcher may wish to use tissues or data from a commercial laboratory. In some cases a researcher will be receiving archival or surplus tissues from an on- or off-site colleague. See here for a more detailed explanation of the types of collaborative research. A fourth possibility is to ship live animals from LBNL to a colleague at another institution. If this last instance is the case, then please see the section on shipping animals below.
All these cases necessitate the approval of the LBNL Animal Welfare and Research Committee. A collaborative protocol will need to be created in HARP, with the collaborator's IACUC approved protocol or SOP and all relevant materials uploaded in electronic form into HARP. Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system. This is a project in work, so if you have any suggestions for additions or clarifications, please contact Dianna Bolt, firstname.lastname@example.com, with your feedback. All relevant personnel must have accounts and profiles in HARP. Fill out a accounts and profiles document for the protocol lead investigator and any additional personnel necessary, such as the protocol coordinator, send it to the HARC office, and have accounts and profiles created. Once this has been done, enter the HARP system and click on the blue button on the left side of the screen for creating a new protocol. On the first page you will be asked what kind of protocol you are creating. Check the appropriate buttons for your type of collaboration. You will then be led through a set of screens asking all relevant information and with a place to upload your collaborator's materials. The PLI then should submit this to the HARC office, where it will be reviewed and scheduled for the next monthly AWRC meeting, if no changes are requested.
Note that previously approved collaborative protocols must also be entered into HARP. Contact the HARC office at email@example.com or x5399 with any questions.
Must be entered into the HARP system. Follow the above procedures for collaborative protocols.
Animals shipped from the LBNL Animal Colony to another institution must have this approved by the HARC office. They must be entered into the HARP system, with the appropriate "shipping" button selected on the first page. Researchers will then be led through a few screens where the relevant information needed for AWRC approval will be asked for. The PLI should submit the completed shipping protocol to the HARC office and wait for AWRC approval. This will normally only take a few days. Here is a twelve page HARP manual that you might find useful in navigating around the HARP system. This is a project in work, so if you have any suggestions for additions or clarifications, please contact Dianna Bolt, email@example.com, with your feedback.
When certification of IACUC (Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee) review is requested: once your animal use protocol has been approved by the Animal Welfare and Research Committee (LBNL's ICAUC), researchers or their proposal specialists should fill in the certification request form and submit it along with a copy of the grant proposal to the HARC office (MS 26-143, electronic copies to firstname.lastname@example.com). The HARC office will perform a side by side review with the protocol and the grant proposal and if it appears that all live animal use as described in the grant proposal is covered by the LBNL animal use protocol, then the HARC office will issue a certificate. This certificate is sent to the principal investigator on the grant, investigator lead(s) on the protocol, the sponsored projects office, and anyone else indicated on the certification request form. The sponsored projects office will then send the document to the funding agency as required.
The glossary contains definitions for terms used in the form, as well as other information helpful to filling out the form. It may be the case that a given grant proposal describes work covered by more than one animal use protocol. The regular certification request form contains spaces to list 3 protocols. In rare cases where more than 3 protocols need to be listed, here is a second page of the form to list further protocols. Note that this is a new form and we welcome feedback on ease of use, understandability, etc.
Here is the flow chart which gives an over all view of the process. If you would like further documentation and instruction on this, here is a guidance document.
Note, if you need the AHU form (also known as the Human Subjects and/or Vertebrate Animal Use in Field Task/Work Proposals form) for a field task or work proposal, you can download the 2008-2009 version here. If you need the similar LDRD form you can download the 2009-2011 version here
For help on filling out the Vertebrate Animal Section of a grant proposal for the National Institutes of Health, see this 2012 fact sheet from the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare.
The Animal Care Facility (ACF) at LBNL will house the mice involved in this research. The ACF is a state-of-the-art facility with a soft-wall design that is easy to modify as research needs change and with filtration design that creates individual clean rooms. This allows a controlled environment that permits continuous visibility of the individual environmental units through freestanding vinyl wall bio-Bubble transparent enclosures. Each bio-Bubble provides a separate enclosure for each specific animal colony, special projects, procedures and quarantine rooms. A total of six bio-Bubbles are designated to hold animals with a total capacity of 3000 cages (current occupancy is at ~1300 cages). One bio-Bubble is set up as the procedure room and is equipped with an isoflurane-anesthesia machine, a CRi Maestro in-vivo fluorescence imaging station, and other basic molecular biology equipment (centrifuge, microscopes, incubator, etc). Another bio-Bubble houses the transgenic production facility. If necessary, mice will be obtained from the Jackson Laboratory, an LBNL-approved source. The LBNL ACF is accredited by the American Association for the Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care International (AAALAC), and the animal laboratory staff at the ACF is devoted to full-time care of housed animals.
New researchers should go to the CITI training website registration page and register as an LBNL user. Then proceed to the login page and log in.
You will notice that there are several courses given. The one required by the Animal Welfare and Research Committee is the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Working with the IACUC the last on the list. The courses on the use of specific animals in research: mice, rats, and dogs, are recommended, but not required. There is a certain overlap between modules of the different courses, but still much useful information can be obtained from these extra courses. The course for IACUC members need only be taken by new members of the Animal Welfare and Research Committee.
As you complete each module of the course you will be asked to take a short quiz. Please do so. Note that in scrolling down the screen during the quizzes, you must use the "mouse" attached to your computer. Using the down arrow key on your keyboard will result in chosen answers moving around. Please do not print out a competion report for each module.
After you have completed the whole of the required course, please print out your completion report and mail it (via snail mail) to Dianna Bolt HARC office, 26RO143. It's a good idea to also send email to her at email@example.com to alert her that the completion report is in the mail. It is helpful to include the AWRC numbers of those protocols a research will be working under.
If you have any further questions, please contact Dianna Bolt, email@example.com, for more information.
Guidelines and approved procedure descriptions for the use of laboratory animals at LBNL are in the electronic HARP system. Users entering protocols in HARP will have access to these when they check off the procedures they are planning to use on the Procedures Classification page. For example, if you are planning on performing blood draws on your animals, check the box next to "fluid collection, including blood" on the Procedures Classification page and continue through the protocol, when you come to the page for blood collection, the AWRC approved methods for collecting blood will be in a document you can view there.
There are also several publications in the HARC office that researchers may borrow or, in some cases, keep. Please contact Dianna Bolt (x6005) if you are interested in seeing any of the following:
- "Experimental Design and Statistics in Biomedical Research" from the Inst. for Lab. Animal Research (ILAR)
- "Immunization Procedures and Adjuvant Products," from the Inst. for Lab. Animal Research (ILAR)

How are experimental animals protected at LBNL?
All care and use of experimental animals at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory follows protocols and guidelines approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, known as the Animal Welfare and Research Committee. The AWRC follows the policies set by the Public Health Service's NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare. See here, for a recent article published by OLAW on frequently asked questions about their policy.
Is the animal program at LBNL accredited? What is LBNL's asurance number?
The Berkeley Lab holds Assurance of Compliance #A3054-01 from the Public Health Service's NIH Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare, and is fully accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC, International). We are currently AAALAC fully accredited through June of 2013. Our assurance of compliance with the Office of Laboratory Animal Welfare expires in December of 2014.
Can I obtain proof of the LBNL Animal program's AAALAC accreditation?>Yes.
Can I obtain a copy of the LBNL Assurance of Compliance with the Public Health Service policy on humane care and use of laboratory animals?
How about the Animal Welfare and Research Committee's charter?
Does LBNL have a USDA permit?
>LBNL is exempt from USDA inspection because it is a registered federal facility. Here is a .pdf of our registration.
If I have concerns about the way research animals are being treated at LBNL, what should I do? Who should I contact?
>Consult the LBNL whistleblower policy on the investigation of concerns involving the care and use of laboratory animals.
and DEADLINES for 2012-2013
All meetings are held on Wednesdays from 9:00 am to noon in Building 977, room 248, unless otherwise indicated. The AWRC is now requiring veterinary pre-review of all new protocols, as well as those up for triennial renewal and those submitted for major modification. These protocols must all be submitted in the electronic protocol HARP system. Collaborative and shipping protocols must also be submitted through HARP. Until 2015, short form renewals, discontinuations, and facility use protocols may be submitted to the HARC office on paper. Short form renewals and collaborative and shipping protocols do not require veterinarian review and have a later due date.

Noem introduces sodsaver provision for farm bill
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Reps. Kristi Noem and Rep. Tim Walz introduced legislation Thursday to encourage good land stewardship practices and preserve habitats.By: News release, Office of Rep. Kristi Noem
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Reps. Kristi Noem and Rep. Tim Walz introduced legislation Thursday to encourage good land stewardship practices and preserve habitats.
Noem, a South Dakota Republican, and Walz, a Minnesota Democrat, want to protect habitat for pheasants, ducks and other wildlife on native sod and on grasslands that haven't been farmed in the past.
The legislation would reduce crop insurance assistance for the first four years for crops grown on native sod and certain grasslands converted to cropland.
By reducing crop insurance assistance so that it is proportionate with the production capability of this land, rather than insuring it at the same rate as land that has been farmed for years, this legislation could save taxpayers nearly $200 million over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
"South Dakota farmers already strike a healthy balance between agriculture production and conservation, and this legislation helps them continue that trend," Noem said.
The sodsaver legislation introduced by Reps. Noem and Walz is identical to the provision included by Sen. John Thune in the farm bill passed by the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Shouldn't this actually just give a list of unanswered questions, which are then further sortable? right now it does as in the question title.
(Perhaps this is because ask.sagemath is using an older askbot, in which case my apologies.)
Not just that, but when meaning of "unanswered question" is "question without accepted answers", which are by default sorted by increasing numbers of answers (and selected based on the absence of accepted answer).
There is also another option in the settings - "question without answers" - in that case sorting by number of answer is meaningless, but still shown. Just created an issue for this: http://bugs.askbot.org/issues/158 - we will implement it after merging some branch which is in progress now.

The Facebook Competition Fallacy
"Hey Mr Big Brand, have you seen our latest survey on what people would like to see on your Facebook page? Competitions, coupons & other freebies of course…"
#Insightful. So should we all be rushing to commission our next big giveaway? Not so fast…!
This research teaches us 3 valuable lessons, sadly none of which make that a good idea:
1. We learn that however neutral your research study, you inevitably over-index on the sort of people who find it appealing to answer lots of questions & give away their personal data.
2. We're reminded that somewhere less than 1% of your fans actually actively visit your page, so the question of what they want to see when they get there is rather mute.
3. Crucially we're reminded about one of life's fundamental truths - people just don't know what they really want.
Sure, as a creative marketeer you're disappointed that people aren't clamouring for more of your well-timed, brand-linked, creative wizardry… But as a person you're also aware that that'd be a ridiculous thing to tick on a form where you could instead ask a big faceless company for free stuff.
What then is the reality of Facebook competitions? Sadly not an enlightened paradise of Facebook fun, but instead a stream of annoying, nagging posts that keep popping up between pictures of your sister's dog and best friend's wedding. And if it's bad enough when that brand you used to quite like keeps trying to click you away to some random application, when your friends join in too asking for votes… #Despair
Won't these awful brands leave you to enjoy your Facebook experience in peace! You were quite happy just clicking 'like' to cute puppy images, reading about your high school buddy's new job and laughing at that topical Oreo cookie image your colleague just shared… Oh, wait…
So what's our real social media lesson today? Don't rely on surveys about what people think they want on social media, follow the evidence of what they actually engage with. Oh, and rethink that competition you were just about to run…

Heathkit - The Early Years
From the author of the book Heath Nostalgia, comes a fascinating CD treasure of Heathkit history in picture and sound. Terry Perdue includes over 900 quality JPEG scans of photographs he saved from the dumpster when Heath evacuated one of its warehouses. Two of the boxes saved were marked 'Heath history to day one', and contained hundreds of photos of both the Benton Harbor and Hilltop plants, including lab, office and manufacturing areas, Hilltop plant construction, aerial views, employees, etc. They also contained many clippings from the local newspaper, The Herald-Palladium, chronicling plant expansions, acquisitions, promotions, etc. All of these are included on the CD, plus color scans of early catalogs and flyers, new employee booklets, brochures, the kit builder's guide, special Heath publications, pages from in-house newsletters, product photos, magazine articles, several very early manuals, and much more. There are also several historically significant .doc files. There is even a fascinating 30 minute .WAV file made by the late Gene Fiebich, who was Director of Engineering, of his memories of Heath's early years.
