Update: Governor Jan Brewer has ordered state officials to redirect $650,000 in state funds so that families continue to receive welfare benefits.
When Congress shut down the government, one of the many programs caught up in the fracas was Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF), the program created by the 1996 welfare-reform law. Spending on the program is mandatory, and normally wouldn't be a casualty of an appropriations fight like the one waged now. But the law officially expired three years ago. Instead of taking it up again, Congress has simply extended the last reauthorization with each new spending bill. No spending bill, no welfare program.
The biggest way the '96 reform law changed the program was by turning it into a block grant to states: Whatever the federal government appropriated for programs designed to help poor families, they would send it in chunks to state governments that were fairly free to decide how to spend it. TANF continues to provide cash benefits to some families—cash benefits are what most people think of when they think of welfare—but it also provides money for job-training programs and other services that are designed to help low-income adults work, like subsidies for child care. Those chunks of money ended with the shutdown Tuesday. What that means for families who get cash payments through the program depends on which state they live in. "States are in different places about their capacity and their willingness to step forward in order to mitigate the effects," says Elizabeth Lower-Basch, a policy coordinator at the Center for Law and Social Policy in Washington, D.C., an organization that develops policies meant to improve the lives of low-income families.
States are allowed to shuffle funds around so that they can continue to make cash payments to families who receive them while the federal government is shut down, but they don't have to. Some have restricted their own spending through law. Eleven states rely primarily or solely on federal funds to make cash payments. Arizona uses only federal funds, and it has said that about a third of its caseload won't receive checks as long as the federal government remains shut down because their cases were new or pending recertification.
Other states don't have enough funds to last for very long, and could join Arizona in stopping payments if the shutdown lasted more than a week or two, says LaDonna Pavetti from the Center on Budget Policy and Priorities, a nonpartisan Washington think tank. The money states are required by the federal government to contribute to their welfare programs are set at 80 percent of 1996 levels—it was part of the reform law—so legislatures know what it is every year and budget for a set amount. They're also allowed to use money from previous years that remains unspent, and there was extra money set aside as a contingency fund for states in the stimulus bill that is approved for spending through 2014. But it doesn't add up to a lot of money. Delaware has said it has about a week's worth of funds; others wouldn't make it past October's end.
The federal government has promised to reimburse the states for the money they spend for families during this period, or to allow them to count it toward spending requirements. "The longer it draws out, however, the more nervous states will be about whether the federal government would make them whole," Lower-Basch says.
No one in the House or the Senate has put forward a reauthorization bill that would end the program's reliance on continuing resolutions. Advocates for the poor and people who study the program, however, are unsure whether they would want this Congress to debate a bill right now, when it might be subject to spending cuts like everything else. "It's not the right environment to do good things for poor people," Pavetti says. "It's such a toxic program, it's hard to figure out who the champion would be."
This is despite the fact that many conservatives largely view the welfare-reform bill as a success. It moved more women into the workforce, and, at least in the beginning, many states provided quality work-training programs to help move people off the welfare rolls. Even after the recession, the employment rate for single moms who have never been married is at 58.7 percent, according to the Brookings Institution, a centrist think tank, and their poverty rate is up to 49.3 percent from 60 percent before reform. Yet few people understand the fundamental changes enacted in the reform bill—there are lifetime limits, work requirements, and the cash benefits amount to very little money. It worked well when the economy was good, but in a deep recession and slow recovery, some of its provisions seem out-of-place. In Kansas, for example, recipients have to prove they've applied to 20 jobs a week. In Colorado, recipients have to work between 20 and 30 hours a week, depending on their situations, just to receive their checks, in addition to looking for other jobs. In Arkansas, the maximum benefit for a family of three is $204 a month. These states aren't outliers. To qualify, no one in any state can earn more money than half of the poverty line, which is $9,765 for a family of three. "People still have this idea, that people are on it for very long periods of time, and aren't looking for work," Pavetti says. "I think people still have this image of pre-1996."
The families getting checks are already among the poorest of the poor, and, in many cases, have exhausted all other opportunities because it's such a hassle to qualify for the programs. When the numbers of poor Americans shot up to the highest levels in decades during the Great Recession, the number of families receiving cash benefits barely nudged upward. Nine states provide assistance to fewer than 10 percent of families living in poverty in their states. Even when families do receive aid, they max out after five years. With other programs affected by the shutdown—food stamps and nutrition programs for pregnant women and young children—it's hard to imagine these families will have any money should their cash assistance stop. "It's a multiple whammy," Lower-Basch says.

Professor Gets Patent For A Multifunction CompositeSOCORRO, N.M. April 22, 2011 – Tech professor Dr. Ashok K. Ghosh recently learned that the U.S. Patent Office has approved his application and granted him Patent Application No. 2009-044475A1.
|Dr. Ashok Ghosh shows off a piece of typical polyurethane foam and a piece of engineering composite that includes exterior layers of Kevlar. He earned patent for the new composite.
Dr. Ghosh's invention is a composite structure that has Kevlar skin with a fluid-filled polyurethane foam core. The material may find applications in a variety of devices – from submarines and the Space Shuttle to military helmets and bullet-proof vests to radiation shielding. A short video on "Research Rocks: Students Explore Submarine Materials" was broadcast by KOAT TV in 2010.
One of the material's key characteristics is its ability to disperse energy – thermal, acoustic, impact and explosive/shockwave energy.
The key to dispersing energy is the core layer of the polyurethane foam, Dr. Ghosh said. He said the inner structure of the foam is filled with varying sizes of spherical cells of polyurethane. A cross-section of polyurethane foam reveals larger balls, or cells, in the center, with smaller cells on the outer edges. The foam layer has impermeable faces, allowing the material to be filled with compatible fluid and sealed.
"The core layer is engineered," he said. "The basic materials are procured over-the-counter, but subsequently engineered to do certain things. This is a unique material with unique characteristics."
Dr. Ghosh and his team of students tested the material for a variety of acoustic energy attenuation characteristics under a grant from the Office of Naval Research. Some tests were performed at New Mexico Tech and the rest at the Air Force Research Lab in
"You could make a submarine skin out of this material," he said. "It will have the capability to absorb wide range of noise (tested for frequencies from 250 hertz to 10 kilohertz . When designed carefully, it is possible to make the sound signature of this vehicle very close to zero."
During the testing of thermal management characteristics, Dr. Ghosh found that no ASTM standards that can be applied to this unique material. So, Dr. Ghosh and his student Phillip Chavez developed their own test method and successfully demonstrated that this composite has good thermal management capability and can in fact dissipate heat energy by transferring thermal load from the location where heat energy is imparted to other parts of the body.
Developed by Dupont scientists in the 1960s, Kevlar is a synthetic fiber that, when woven, creates a material five times stronger than steel. Kevlar is used in tires, sails, bullet-proof materials. Coupled with the fluid-filled foam core, the new composite would lend itself to use in spacecraft and various other applications, Dr. Ghosh said.
The original patent application listed 18 features, or "claims," that differentiate the material as unique. After refuting counter-claims, Dr. Ghosh added two new claims, thus strengthening his argument for a successful patent application.
At present, Dr. Ghosh has three graduate students working on implementation of the patent. Chris Turner is working on developing a helmet using the material. David Chavez is working on a protective vest. Naitram Birbahadur is working on general characterization. Other students who worked on the study of this material in the past are Phillip Chavez, Everest Sewell, Ian Luders, Jason Mathews, Jason Metzger, Byron Mortons, Nicholas Spinhirne and Holly Chamberlin. Andrew D. Williams of Air Force Research Laboratory, Emil Ardelean of Schafer Corp. and J. M. Zucker of LANL also contributed to the research project.
David Chavez has been working on the project for more than a year. He is finishing his master's in mechanical engineering with an emphasis in explosives, in anticipation of starting his career as a test engineer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Virginia.
"The biggest challenge in this project is to integrate this new material into something we use for explosive defense," he said. "We're trying to improve what's out there and find something novel. We're taking new approaches to how we create materials and we're combining materials in never-been-seen-before ways."
|Professor Dr. Ashok Ghosh explains the testing device he built to test the thermal management of the engineered material.

Dr. Ghosh has also applied for funding from the New Mexico Space Grant Consortium to test the material for its radiation shielding characteristics. Undergraduate student Miquela Trujillo is helping develop that proposal and test.
A junior in mechanical engineering, Trujillo said she appreciates the opportunity to do research in an exciting and interesting field. She is helping design the tests that will examine how well the composite shields or absorbs solar and space radiation.
"This project has sparked my interest in nuclear engineering," she said. "I'm applying what I've learned in classes, plus I'm doing extra research on the space environment and learning about radiation."
A graduate of McCurdy High School in Espanola, Trujillo is working with scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory to develop a system of exposing the material to radioactive ions, then see how the composite's properties might change.
Dr. Ghosh developed his concept from a detailed study of the structure of the human skull. He started his investigations while at the Indian Institute of Technology in the 1990s.
"You'll find that natural concepts have evolved over time to be most efficient but very complex," he said. "The skull is very complicated and thus replicating its morphology is challenging and often expensive."
After examining and analyzing the skull's structure through a scanning electron microscope and other means, Dr. Ghosh started to develop a concept that would mimic the features of a skull. He looked at available commercial materials, both natural origin and man made, before settling on polyurethane, which has a many comparable characteristics as that of the human skull.
He also looked at materials currently used as "acoustic blankets" in the fairing structure of a space launch vehicle. The Air Force has various designs for acoustic blankets that isolate a payload from damaging noise and vibration during lift-off.
"That's the basis of the whole thing," Dr. Ghosh said. "Now, we have a multifunctional composite, which may find application in various products and services. Now, if anyone wants to use this material, they'll have to come to New Mexico Tech for a license."

HAVELOCK � In the final bout on the first day of the Big Horn Duals, Havelock and New Bern went down to the wire in a team match between the Craven County rivals.
HAVELOCK � In the final bout on the first day of the Big Horn Duals, Havelock and New Bern went down to the wire in a team match between the Craven County rivals.
Corbin Simmons won in triple overtime to push the Rams past the Bears, 39-36, on Friday evening.
Ten teams competed, all wrestling each other once, at the two-day dual team tournament. Four matches were held on Friday and the final five concluded on Saturday at Havelock High School.
Havelock went 7-2 with wins over Jacksonville (63-12), South Central (56-22), New Bern (39-36), First Flight (48-24), Southwest Onslow (48-27), West Carteret (45-29) and East Carteret (76-6). The Rams lost to Croatan (42-29) and Jack Britt (73-6).
�We know we have some things to work on. Everybody wrestled hard. The matches we thought were tough were tough,� Havelock coach Tommy Andrew said.
�The Jack Britt match, we kind of saw that coming. The Croatan match, there were some things we needed to work on. We felt like we could have won that match.�
New Bern won three of its nine dual matches. The Bears took down East Carteret (67-12), South Central (39-35) and Jacksonville (51-18).
They lost three other matches by a combined 12 points.
�Hopefully they learned that they have to compete every second they are on the mat,� New Bern coach Jamie Yezarski said. �From whistle to whistle, they have to compete. Every match is important.
�You compete individually, but it�s a team sport. Every guy matters.�
Ben Dixon, wrestling at 182 pounds, had the best day for the Rams. He finished 8-1. John Ellis was 7-2, Kendall Frazier was 7-2 and Lamonte Frazier was 6-3.
�They had a couple tough matches, but they fought through it,� Andrews said. �They worked real hard for it and never gave up and that�s all we ask of them.�
Last year�s state runner-up Ryan Davis won six of his nine matches with three pins and a tech. fall.
�Ryan had a tough weekend,� Andrews said. �We threw him in some toss-up matches. We were trying to minimize point losses. He fought hard. He knows what he needs to do to get better.�
Ramone Lawson, Javar Godette, Michael Hutchinson, Tyler Bullock, Howie Baldree, Chandler Day, Zachariah Drysdale, Jace Dedmon, Destin Floyd, Dominick Madden and Corey Paley won at least one match for the Rams.
DeAndre Jones, at 195 pounds, won all eight of his matches. The senior, who was a state runner-up last year, is unbeaten on the season and has yet to be taken to the mat.
�DeAndre is having an incredible year,� Yezarski said. �He beat the kid from Jack Britt who was third in the state last year.
�He does everything we ask him to do. He is a hard worker, great person and is having a great year.�
Drew Thome, at 220 pounds, won five matches and Garrett Phifer won four.
Jacob Smith, Eric Cabingas, Cedric Boyd, Daquan Green, Wilson Bunn, Antonio Creigo, Josh Pace, Nick Morris, Jurant Graham, Patrick Laureigh, Tyquan Baucom, Jeremy Simpson and Josh Hawkins won individual matches for the Bears.
�I was disappointed in our effort (on Friday), but (Saturday) I was pleased with our effort,� Yezarski said. �Attitude and effort is what I preach to this team and I think we are learning how to compete.
�With a team this young, we have to learn how to focus, learn how to get prepared and learn how to practice.�
Havelock, New Bern and Washington will compete in a tri-match on Tuesday at Havelock High.

Story highlights
- The bill would have given the government three paths to fend off cyberattacks
- Sen. Lieberman: "This is a moment of disappointment that I really cannot conceal"
- Opponents argued it would have allowed too much government intervention
The most comprehensive cybersecurity legislation proposed by Congress, which sponsors say would have helped protect the government and industry from potentially devastating cyberattacks, was voted down in the Senate Thursday.
The Cybersecurity Act of 2012 would have given the government the three legislative elements it needs to fend off cyberattacks, according to John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism. Those are new threat-information-sharing between the government and private industry, better protection of critical infrastructure such as the power grid and water filtration facilities, and authority for the Department of Homeland Security to unite federal resources to lead the government's cybersecurity team.
Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Connecticut, and Susan Collins, R-Maine, introduced the bill.
"This is a moment of disappointment that I really cannot conceal," Lieberman said after the vote. "But the threat of cyberattack is so real, so urgent and so clearly growing that I am not going to be petulant about this."
On a telephone conference all with reporters Wednesday, Brennan and with other administration officials urged Congress to pass the bill.
"The risks to our nation are real and immediate," Brennan said, adding that the White House didn't see the legislation as a partisan issue, but rather a matter of national security.
Republicans opposed to the bill argued that the cybersecurity standards that would have been put in place allow for too much government regulation.
"How can the Senate ignore these repeated warnings from the experts of how at risk our national security, our economic prosperity, and indeed our American way of life it is," Collins asked. "It just is incomprehensible to me that we would not proceed to this bill. There certainly is plenty of blame to go around."
Congress begins its August recess Friday, making it very unlikely that cybersecurity legislation will be voted on again before next year.

To the Editor:
Since the loss of my husband in November, I have had several people approach me with questions concerning whole body donation for research and/or education. It seems there is a myth being perpetrated that universities and other institutions have an abundance of cadavers so they are no longer accepting them. This is absolute false.
My husband donated his body to the University of Iowa. The University of Des Moines also accepts. Cremation is done at no expense to the family and the cremains are returned to the family at their request, also at no expense. The only expense to the family is for transportation of the body to the chosen facility. The funeral director who served us handled the notification and transportation of my husband's body promptly and sensitively. The cost was $240. I find it unconscionable that anyone would discourage such a selfless and worthy gift. Let me quote from the pack of information I received from the University of Des Moines:
"The ability of the University to provide highly trained physicians and other health care professions depends upon continued support of the Body Donor Program. In order to educate present and future students, the University must obtain donated bodies to fulfill the needs of the medical education."
Following are two contacts in Iowa:
n Department of Anatomy, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52240; phone 319-335-7762
n Body Donor Program, Des Moines University, 3200 Grand Ave., Des Moines, Iowa, 50312; Phone 515-271-1481

If you are intending holidaying in Fort Walton Beach, renting your holiday accommodation may provide the perfect solution to making the most of your available time. The city of Fort Walton Beach affords a wide variety of condos designed for holiday rental. There are rental condos on the waterfront for easy beach access and there are those closer to shopping and sightseeing amenities. With a variety of facilities available, it could well be that renting a holiday condo is the best option for you in Fort Walton Beach and ensures that you have the time to see and do all that you desire.
Outdoor pursuits in Fort Walton Beach
The great outdoors is likely to feature prominently in any holiday to Fort Walton Beach and the freedom of your holiday rental condo will allow you to appreciate it in full. There are two public golf courses in Fort Walton Beach, The Oaks and The Pines, while championship courses such as the one at Regatta Bay are within easy reach. Sea anglers have the opportunity for some fine shore or boat fishing, hunting down the big game fish which populate the waters off the Florida coast. The more adventurous may wish to go surfing - or even take instruction and perform a parachute jump!
Families visiting Fort Walton Beach are likely to wish to spend some time soaking up the sun and engaging in other beach activities. Excitement is to be found in a great many forms, however, perhaps by visiting the BMX and Skateboard Park for some energetic sport.

Regentis Biomaterials Announces $10 Million Raised in Latest Round of Funding
OR AKIVA, Israel and PRINCETON, New Jersey, May 14, 2012 — /PRNewswire/ —
Regentis Biomaterials Ltd., a privately held company focused on developing proprietary hydrogels for tissue regeneration, announced that it has raised $10 million in its latest round of funding from new investors Royal DSM through its venturing subsidiary and from Crossroad Fund, as well as from existing investors Medica Venture Partners, SCPVitalife and the Technion Investment Opportunities Fund.
The Series C round of financing will be used to establish Regentis's European presence and expand its ongoing clinical efforts of GelrinC. The biodegradable implant enhances growth of articular cartilage in damaged knee joints. It is currently an investigational device, and not available for sale in the U.S., Europe and Israel.
"We are thrilled with our new and existing investors' commitment to make GelrinC available to patients suffering from knee cartilage injuries," said Regentis Biomaterials CEO and President Dr. Alastair Clemow. "With this new investment, Regentis is poised to expand its clinical efforts and further demonstrate how GelrinC can regenerate cartilage so patients can return to an active lifestyle."
The product allows knee cartilage to regenerate so that it is of high quality and fits tightly with surrounding cartilage and underlying bone. It closely restores cartilage to the condition it was in prior to injury. While there are cartilage repair techniques that relieve pain and restore the knee's functionality, the regenerated cartilage resulting from these procedures is different in nature from the native cartilage and is often followed by subsequent surgical procedure.
Regentis Biomaterials is currently conducting a multi-center pilot study in Europe and Israel to evaluate the safety and performance of GelrinC. Prior pre-clinical studies have successfully demonstrated its ability to regrow cartilage.
The company will be participating at the upcoming International Cartilage and Repair Society(ICRS) with a hands-on GelrinC demonstration in Booth # 16. ICRS will be held May 12-15, 2012 in Montreal, Canada.
About Regentis Biomaterials With offices in Or Akiva, Israel and Princeton, NJ, Regentis Biomaterials is a privately held company focused on developing and commercializing proprietary hydrogels for tissue regeneration. The company's core technology is a biodegradable hydrogel called Gelrin™. It is based on polyethylene glycol diacrylate and denatured fibrinogen originally developed at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology by Dr. Dror Seliktar. The Gelrin hydrogel platform combines the stability and versatility of a synthetic material with the bio-functionality of a natural substance for a range of clinical applications and has undergone extensive preclinical and safety testing over the last few years. The company's flagship product, GelrinC™, designed for the treatment of articular cartilage lesions, is currently in clinical trials. DSM – Bright Science. Brighter Living.™ Royal DSM N.V. is a global science-based company active in health, nutrition and materials.

Uninsured people receive less medical care and less timely care, they have worse health outcomes, and lack of insurance is a fiscal burden for them and their families. Moreover, the benefits of expanding coverage outweigh the costs for added services. So try checking the list above, it's for your own good eventually.

The AAFP is supporting a bill called the Accuracy in Medicare Physician Payment Act(www.govtrack.us), H.R. 2545, introduced in the House by Rep. Jim McDermott, M.D., D-Wash. The bill is designed to supplement the work of the AMA/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) by establishing an expert panel within Medicare to oversee the valuation of physician services and to help correct distortions in the physician fee schedule.
In a letter(1 page PDF) to McDermott, AAFP Board Chair Glen Stream, M.D., M.B.I., of Spokane, Wash., described the bill as "long overdue" and said that it "could make a major difference in how the Medicare payment system supports primary care physicians in offering better quality health care more efficiently."
Stream also said, however, that the legislation's expert valuation panel should include at least one primary care physician to provide a "perspective that has been most underrepresented in previous deliberations of the relative value of physician services."
The RUC is composed of 31 physicians and other health care professionals who act as an expert panel in making recommendations to CMS on the relative values of CPT codes. CMS often follows the recommendations of the RUC, giving the panel extensive influence in determining the values of CPT codes. Many family physicians and the AAFP have expressed a concern that the actions of the RUC are biased toward subspecialist procedures rather than evaluation and management (E/M) services, leading to an undervaluation of primary care services.
In a press release(mcdermott.house.gov), McDermott, who is the ranking member of the House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health, said the RUC "is unevenly weighted by procedural specialists over primary care doctors."
McDermott's legislation would create an advisory panel of experts from a variety of fields, such as medical economics and technology, and would include payer and patient representatives. In addressing the valuation of physician services, the panel would review recommendations from external sources such as the RUC, putting the panel in a position to "supplement and not supplant the RUC," Stream said.
McDermott, meanwhile, also said his bill was about reining in a conflict of interest.
"No other area of the Medicare program asks providers to play such an active role in setting their own payments," McDermott said. "Medicare certainly needs clinical expertise in order to fairly set reimbursements, but an outside organization whose members benefit from $70 billion in annual public spending, needs checks and balances. No matter how well-intentioned, structural biases are inevitable, and we're seeing that effect as new doctors flock toward specialty care and away from primary care."
In the letter from the AAFP, Stream told McDermott, "We agree with your observation that CMS needs to have the expertise required to evaluate physician services and that this evaluation should be as objective and free as possible from the appearance of conflicts of interest. Your legislative proposal would go a long way toward providing CMS with the independent expertise that it needs, and it is consistent with prior recommendations of the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission and recommendations we made to the RUC last year."

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts Announces David R. Brigham as New President and CEO
Dr. David R. Brigham, the Edna S. Tuttleman Museum Director of the
Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts
(PAFA), will succeed President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Edward T. Lewis, who will step down on December 31, 2009, it was announced today by Donald R. Caldwell, Chair of the Board of Trustees. Brigham will be appointed PAFA's President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2010.
In 2007, Lewis was selected to serve the Academy as its President and CEO. During his tenure, PAFA saw the implementation of re-branding initiatives; the establishment of the Academy BFA; the launch of the performance series, PAFA Presents; and new community collaborations including several with the School District of Philadelphia. Additionally, under Lewis' direction, there has been a nearly fifteen percent increase in student applications, as well as an increase in annual giving by 40 percent, and capital gifts made possible the renovation of the Samuel M.V. Hamilton Building's fourth floor. It was also during his tenure that the Academy continued its balanced budget; even through difficult economic times, and by careful planning PAFA did not experience any staff or faculty layoffs.
"Over the past year, PAFA has been working on its strategic plan, which will be presented to the Board in March 2010. I believe it is in the Academy's best interest that a new president leads this critical initiative. I am confident that PAFA is in capable hands with Dr. Brigham as it moves forward with its ambitious programs," said Lewis. "I have had the privilege of working with many educational institutions throughout my career and can say that my time at PAFA has been one of the most enriching experiences. I am exceedingly appreciative for the support I received from Chairman Don Caldwell, the trustees, staff, and faculty and for allowing me to play a role in the history of this extraordinary institution."
"We are extremely grateful to Ted Lewis for the leadership, business experience and acumen, and management skills he provided to us," stated Mr. Caldwell. "Ted has been an exceptional leader for the museum and school. We will miss his dedication to the Academy and wish him the very best."
Brigham joined PAFA in October 2007. Under his leadership, the museum has seen audience growth, including the increase in admissions revenue by 63% in the summer of 2009 over the same period last year; the launch of a comprehensive exhibition and public programs plan; the growth of the collection through more than 300 works of art and several major purchases, and a significant enhancement of its profile. Brigham's commitment to diversity has been evident in the formation of a Community Outreach Committee, the upcoming retrospective for Barkley L. Hendricks, and the planning of the first international retrospective for Henry O. Tanner in 2012.
Prior to his arrival at PAFA, Brigham led a dramatic transformation of the Allentown Art Museum into the vibrant institution it is today. Brigham was also formerly the Director of Collections and Exhibitions and Curator of American Art at the Worcester Art Museum, in Massachusetts. In addition to his work as a museum professional, he has taught at the University of Southern California, George Mason University, and Lebanon Valley College.
Brigham earned his master's degree in Museum Studies/American Civilization and doctorate in American Civilization at the University of Pennsylvania, and bachelor's degrees in English and Accounting summa cum laude from the University of Connecticut. His publications and exhibition projects span four centuries of American art, from the 17th to the late 20th centuries.
"I am thrilled and truly honored to be appointed the Academy's President and Chief Executive Officer at such a momentous time in its remarkable history," said Brigham. "PAFA will be facing exciting new challenges and opportunities with the development of the Cherry Street Plaza, making PAFA the first step on the Museum Mile, the implementation of a new low-residency Master of Fine Arts degree, and the completion of the Pennsylvania Convention Center bringing more visitors to our front door. I am eager to build upon recent successes in growing our funds available for student scholarships and finding ways to expand faculty development opportunities to support our extremely talented faculty. I very much look forward to serving this prestigious institution in my new capacity and to working with the great team of trustees, donors, volunteers, faculty, and staff who make it so impressive."
"In the two years since Dr. Brigham assumed the role of Museum Director, PAFA and its Board have seen remarkable accomplishments under his leadership. His passion, dedication, and enthusiasm for the Academy are infectious. He has the full support of the Board," stated Mr. Caldwell.
Mr. Caldwell continued, "With the vacancy left by Dr. Brigham's move to the presidency, PAFA will launch a global search for a new museum director. The many recent programs put in place by Dr. Brigham have fueled extraordinary momentum for the museum and will help to expedite the search for a new leader."

New Car Review
2014 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid: Real World Review
Hybrids are not known for being quick or luxurious, but the 2014 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid is both of those things, as we recently found in a real-world test in Los Angeles.
Formerly Known as the M35 Hybrid
For 2014, all Infiniti models have new names, whether they are a carryover or all-new. The Q70 Hybrid is actually a renamed M35 Hybrid, the hybrid version of Infiniti's flagship sedan, and is competitive with other luxury hybrids such as the 2014 BMW 5 Series ActiveHybrid and 2014 Lexus GS450h. Other than the new name, however, the Q60 Hybrid is unchanged from the 2013 Infiniti M35 Hybrid.
Beautiful, Inside and Out
Infiniti's swoopy styling looks particularly attractive on its midsize Q70 sedan, and stands in stark contrast to the stoic styling of Audi, Mercedes-Benz and BMW midsize sedans. The Hybrid has no exterior features that give away its clean little secret, other than a discreet HYBRID badge on the tailgate.
Inside, the Q70 Hybrid offers up a dual-cockpit environment that looks especially beautiful with its unusual silver-powdered genuine white ash wood trim. The seats are divine, wrapping their occupants in standard, glove-soft leather. Even the outboard rear seats are beautifully sculpted and feel terrific.
The Q70's dashboard is among the most cluttered designs in the segment, but, as with most ergonomic situations, you can get used to it. Customers would be advised to get a thorough demonstration to learn what all the buttons and switches do, and how to use the voice-activated controls, which Infiniti is particularly good at. One especially nice touch is the breeze function of the climate control system, which cycles fan speeds to emulate natural breezes. Thankfully, it is subtle yet effective.
Luxury, a la Hybrid: Quicker and Quieter
With 360 net horsepower between the 3.5-liter V6 and 50-kW electric motor, the rear-wheel-drive Q70 Hybrid is quicker than the standard Q60 3.7, which gets by on V6 power alone. The hybrid also seems quieter, especially at low speeds when much of the driving is done in pure electric mode. For pedestrian safety's sake, the hybrid emits a sound to alert bipeds nearby of your approach when the gas engine isn't running.
Infiniti says that the Q70 Hybrid can travel 1.2 miles on electricity alone at speeds of up to 62 miles per hour if you're light on the pedals, though we were never able to go too far before the gas engine turned on, which it does with some shudder that takes away from the car's luxurious proclivities.
Honestly, we couldn't keep ourselves out of the power. There's a ton of it, and it renders the Q70 Hybrid quite fast. Unfortunately, the regenerative braking system is too aggressive and the pedal feel is unpredictable, making soft limo stops all but impossible. Steering, on the other hand, is terrific, and handling is surefooted and neutral.
Hardly a Prius -- and That's Just Fine
Fuel economy is rated at 27 miles per gallon city/32 mpg highway, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, though in our hands (in the stop-and-go capital of America) we only saw 25 mpg. (For reference, the base Q60 3.7's fuel economy is considerably lower, at 18 mpg city/26 mpg hwy).
While those aren't exactly Prius numbers, the 2014 Infiniti Q70 Hybrid does what no Prius can: drive really well (other than those weird-feeling brakes), while giving a measurable boost to fuel economy. And it looks great and spoils its occupants in the process.

Caroma® Promotion Shows Greenbuild That One Flush Can Make a Difference
Surrey, British Columbia – Caroma®, the worldwide leader in high efficiency toilets and the pioneer of dual-flush technology, took center stage at the Greenbuild 2010 International Conference & Expo in Chicago from Nov. 17-19. The Caroma booth was packed with attendees for two days straight; throughout the day, thousands learned about Caroma's new products and later in the evening, attendees flocked back to the booth to witness Caroma give away Apple® iPads™, Nanos®, Shuffles® and even a Caroma dual-flush toilet.
Caroma held the giveaway at Greenbuild in order to show attendees that Caroma's high-efficiency toilets use minimal water (1.28/0.8 gallons per flush) and are virtually unblockable. After meeting with a Caroma representative, attendees were entered to win one of Caroma's many promotional prizes. One hour before the exhibition closed each day, participants gathered around the Profile Smart demonstration toilet and watched as a representative flushed fruit down the toilet, showcasing Caroma's award-winning Smart Technology firsthand. To the delight of the audience, Caroma's booth demonstrators then sliced open the fruits to reveal the prizes.
"Our primary goal with this promotion was to increase awareness of Caroma's high efficiency, dual-flush toilets, and prove that one flush can make a difference in the world; we definitely accomplished our goal at Greenbuild this year," said Derek Kirkpatrick, North American General Manager of Caroma. "People flooded the booth to watch the promotion, and we were glad for the opportunity to open customers' eyes to all the ways that Caroma is changing the way water is used and conserved."
In addition to the One Flush Giveaway, Caroma unveiled an eco-friendly booth at the Greenbuild 2010 International Conference & Expo— a booth that not only meets, but exceeds industry standards. Caroma had several products on display at Greenbuild, including: new pop-up displays from its Invisi™ Series II collection, the new Sydney Smart 305 1-Piece Water Closet, the new Somerton Smart 270 1-Piece Water Closet, and Caroma's first low-flow showerhead – the Caroma Flow.

Frequently Asked Questions: Fostering strategic dialogue and partnership with non-EU countries
Why a communication on the Global Approach to Migration and Mobility?
The EU set up the Global Approach to Migration in 2005 to address all relevant aspects of migration in a balanced and comprehensive way in partnership with non-EU countries. Since the adoption of the Global approach, globalisation, demographic change and societal transformation have affected the European Union, its Member States and countries around the world, and continuous to do so.
The Commission is convinced that it is now time to initiate a more strategic phase of the Global Approach to strengthen its external migration policy and the cooperation with third countries. The Global Approach should better reflect the external and internal strategic objectives of the Union and translate them into concrete proposals for dialogue and cooperation with the partner countries:
What is the main content of this Communication?
The Communication outlines the thematic and geographical priorities of the Global Approach. It should be based on four equally important thematic pillars :
EU action should become more migrant-centred, with the aim to empower migrants and contribute to strengthen their human rights in countries of origin, transit and destination. Inter-regional migration outside the EU should also be addressed. The EU should be engaged in Migration and Mobility Dialogues with non-EU countries across the globe. The aim is to exchange information, identify shared interests and build trust and commitment as a basis for operational cooperation. Closer cooperation will be sought with those partners that share interests with and are ready to make mutual commitments with the EU and its Member States. New initiatives will be assessed in the light of the EU's regional and bilateral priorities.
Regional dialogue processes should continue as a strong focus. While the EU enlargement remains a separate process, the EU Neighborhood should be a main priority. The overarching regional framework towards the south should be the Africa-EU partnership. Towards the east it should be the Prague process. Other sub-regional processes should be aligned to these. In addition, a few bilateral dialogue processes should be maintained, notably with the Southern Mediterranean countries, the countries of the Western Balkans, Turkey, Russia, Nigeria and South Africa, as well as India and China.
The Global Approach should also a ddress intra-regional migration and mobility in other parts of the world when identified in the dialogue as relevant.
What has already been done under the Global Approach?
Since 2005 approximately 300 migration-related projects in non-EU countries have been funded under various thematic and geographical financial instruments of the European Commission, amounting to a value of € 800 million (see MEMO/11/801 Concrete examples in the context of the GAMM).
The Global Approach has so far mainly relied on a few specific tools: (a) migration profiles, which are now applied worldwide in more than 70 countries, (b) migration missions, which have taken place to 17 non-EU countries, (c) cooperation platforms, set up for a limited period in Ethiopia, and (d) Mobility Partnerships, launched with Moldova, Cape Verde, Georgia and, most recently, with Armenia.
The EU's external migration policy, however, also builds on: EU legislation and legal instruments (so far, nine visa facilitation and thirteen EU readmission agreements, as well as seven Directives on legal and irregular migration); political instruments (a large number of policy dialogues, often backed up by action plans); operational support and capacity-building (including via the EU agencies and technical assistance facilities) and the wide range of programme and project support that is made available to numerous stakeholders, including civil society, migrant associations and international organisations.
How should the EU conduct its dialogue with partner countries?
The EU should offer a more comprehensive range of operational mechanisms to carry out the Global Approach in a more structured and systematic way. This will be done through tailor-made bilateral partnership frameworks that will be negotiated between the EU and each priority country.
The first of these frameworks is the Mobility Partnership (MP), which will be promoted as the principal framework for cooperation in the area of migration and mobility between the EU and its partners, with a primary focus on the countries in the EU Neighbourhood. The proposal to negotiate an MP should be presented once a certain level of progress has been achieved in the migration and mobility dialogues, also taking into consideration the broader economic, political and security context.
The MPs will be based on the shared interests and concerns of the partner country and EU participants, and rely on simultaneously negotiated visa facilitation and readmission agreements. A 'more for more' approach, implying an element of conditionality, should continue to be applied as a way to increase transparency and speed up progress towards concluding these agreements. A support package geared at capacity-building and exchanges of information should be offered by the EU and by Member States on a voluntary basis.
A second and alternative framework should be the Common Agenda on Migration and Mobility (CAMM). This is the viable option in cases where both the EU and the partner country want to establish an advanced level of cooperation, but where one side or the other is not ready to immediately enter into visa facilitation and readmission agreements. Like the MP, the CAMM should set a number of common recommendations, targets and commitments for dialogue and cooperation and should include a package of specific support measures. If both parties agree, the Common Agenda could be upgraded to a Mobility Partnership at a later stage.
In the framework of both Mobility Partnerships and Common Agendas, dedicated Migration and Mobility Resource Centres (MMRC) should be set up in partner countries. These should be integrated within national authorities or employment agencies. Focusing on migrants' needs, they should (1) serve as a one-stop shop for individuals seeking information and support on validation of their qualifications, skill upgrading and skill needs at national or regional levels or in the EU and (2) provide pre-departure, return and reintegration measures. The newly launched, online EU Immigration Portal will also be a useful information tool for this purpose. The MMRCs should assist authorities in the partner countries and EU Member States, including Public Employment Services, with a view to improving labour matching and supporting positive development outcomes. These centres should also be linked up with the Common Visa Application Centres and with the EU Delegations to facilitate visa procedures for specific categories of non-EU nationals.
What should be the priorities?
A series of priority activities should be implemented within each of the four pillars of the Global Approach:
Organizing and facilitating legal migration and mobility
P reventing and reducing irregular migration and trafficking in human beings
P romoting international protection and enhancing the external dimension of asylum policy
Maximising the development impact of migration and mobility
What will be the follow-up?
The Communication outlines how the Global Approach should be jointly implemented by the European Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS), including EU Delegations and Member States.
A Global Approach Report should be adopted every second year, starting in June 2013. It should be based on information provided by Member States, EU Delegations, EU agencies and partner countries and will be presented under the responsibility of the Commission in association with the EEAS.
The European Council is expected to give guidance on further implementation of the proposals in the Communication. The Commission will thereafter work in close cooperation with Member States to ensure that the guidelines are put into practice.

Having a good recruiting video is extremely important for every high school lacrosse player hoping to earn a college lacrosse scholarship.
Coaches generally don't have the time or travel budget that it takes to see dozens of lacrosse recruits in person. That's why a well-made highlight video is an essential portion of your online resume.
It takes just a few minutes for a recruiting video to show off the skills of a high school lacrosse recruit.
But realize that if you want your highlight video to be effective, you need to be aware of what exactly lacrosse coaches are looking for. In terms of recruiting videos, each sport is different. NCSA knows what lacrosse coaches want to see. For example, a lacrosse highlight video for field players should use 20 to 40 plays taken from game footage. Goalkeepers should combine in-game clips with a fair amount of skills footage.
Follow NCSA's guidelines if you want to create an excellent recruiting video. Doing so means that you're taking the first step toward earning a college lacrosse scholarship.
How to Film:
Tape from a high perspective when possible (at least several feet from the ground).
A tripod is highly recommended.
Do not zoom in and out. The wider the angle the better.
Imagine the field separated into thirds (offensive, middle, defensive). When the ball is in the offensive or defensive third of the field, film the entire 18-yard box and beyond. When the ball is in the middle of the field, film the entire middle third.
Show enough of the field so that we are able to see the player's vision, runs with and without the ball, use of space, combinations with teammates, etc.
Coaches want to see the progression of each play so you need a wide enough angle to capture multiple players, but they also want to see foot skills and technical abilities so do not lose focus on the primary player you are recording.
Field Players: Game footage
Generally one to two matches is sufficient, but if you are not able to log 40 worthy plays you may send additional games.
Send games against your best competition (Club, US Lacrosse, competitive high school teams).
Goal Keepers: Half game footage and half skills footage will be beneficial. Skills footage should be no longer than 10 minutes in its raw form.Yes
Position Specific Inclusions:
Field Player: match footage only
Shooting: High, middle and low shots on goal, both stationary and driven shots
Stick Skills: Handling the ball under pressure from another player as well as unguarded
Passing: Show 5 repetitions of each lateral and forward passing, as well as 5 repetitions each of the player receiving lateral and forward passes
Off-Hand: Repeat shooting and passing skills with your off hand (left hand for right handed players and vice versa)
Ground Balls: Scooping up ground balls at game pace and/or under pressure
Goalies: skills footage and match footage
Shots: Show someone shooting on you. Vary the shots and highlight your ability to cover shots on the ground, at the crossbar and in the corners.
Clearing: Show yourself clearing the ball from the goal and from outside the goal in the crease.

Charles, Bailey lead No. 14 Texas to 38-35 win over Oklahoma St.
Associated Press Writer
Mack Brown isn't sure if Texas has a psychological edge on Oklahoma State. It certainly seems a plausible explanation for what his Longhorns have done to the Cowboys in recent years.
Four times in the past five seasons, Texas has come from way behind to break Oklahoma State's heart.
The latest came Saturday, when Ryan Bailey kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to lift No. 14 Texas to a 38-35 win to cap a comeback from a 21-point fourth-quarter deficit.
"We've won a lot, and that is a positive thing," Brown said. "The mind is a powerful, powerful thing, especially in sports. At first, we did not put pressure on (the Cowboys), and we had to to get it turned, because we did believe we were going to win.
"When we put pressure back on them, I think that question arises again, 'Uh oh. Here we go again. We've been there.' … I don't understand it. I don't know how it works that way, but sometimes it does."
For the second straight week, Jamaal Charles led the late charge for the Longhorns, scoring two of his three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Texas (8-2, 4-2 Big 12 Conference) twice trailed by 21 points, including a 35-14 deficit entering the quarter.
That margin seemed daunting for those unfamiliar with the history of the Texas-Oklahoma State series. In 2003, Oklahoma State led 16-7 in the first quarter but Texas won 55-16. In Austin in 2004, Oklahoma State sprinted to a 35-7 first-half lead before Texas roared back for a 56-35 win.
In 2005 _ the season Texas won the national title _ the Longhorns trailed 28-9 in the first half in Stillwater, but rallied to win 47-28 behind Vince Young.
This time Charles, who scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns in a comeback win over Nebraska last week, was the star. He scored on a 17-yard run with 11:40 left and reeled off a 75-yard touchdown jaunt with 7:30 left, pulling the Longhorns within 35-28. Charles finished with 16 carries for 180 yards.
A 60-yard pass from Colt McCoy to Jordan Shipley led to a 1-yard touchdown run by Vondrell McGee that tied the game with 3:22 left.
"It's just within us," McCoy said. "I wish we could play like that in the beginning, I promise. I hate that it has to come down like that, but it just shows the toughness and shows the fight and shows the character of our team."
Oklahoma State kicker Jason Ricks sent a 34-yard field-goal attempt wide right with 1:13 left. McCoy, who finished 20-of-27 passing for 282 yards and rushed 16 times for 106 yards, guided the Longhorns into position for Bailey's game-winner, the second of his career.
"The entire team kept coming up to me in the fourth quarter, saying it's going to come down to the last kick," Bailey said. "You always think about it, but you try not to. You just do the same routine."
It was McCoy's first career 100-yard rushing effort.
"The last nine minutes of the game, he never blinked," Brown said.
Texas finished with 589 yards of offense, its highest total since 2005.
Oklahoma State (5-4, 3-2) dropped to 2-20 all-time against the Longhorns.
"That was a tough one," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "But really what it comes down to is when you're in the fourth quarter with a big lead, you can't give up big plays. We should have made better adjustments and coached better. Our players should have made the plays their players did."
The Cowboys rolled up 594 yards of offense, the most allowed in a game this season by Texas. Zac Robinson finished 30-for-42 for a school-record 430 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 56 yards and another score. His 486 yards of total offense set another school record.
Oklahoma State led 14-0 less than three minutes into the game on a 4-yard run by Dantrell Savage and Jacob Lacey's 39-yard interception return. Lacey finished with three interceptions, while Savage rushed 23 times for 103 yards.
Between the first and second quarter, a livid Brown gathered his players in a huddle and screamed at them. Initially, Brown's outburst didn't seem to have much effect. Less than a minute into the second quarter, Robinson capped an 88-yard drive with a 7-yard touchdown run, putting Oklahoma State ahead 21-0.
But Texas answered with touchdowns on its next two possessions. Charles scored on a 22-yard run up the middle, and McCoy hit tight end Jermichael Finley for a 20-yard score.
