Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
LEWISBURG, Pa. — Two Bucknell University student groups each have received a $10,000 Projects for Peace grant from philanthropist Kathryn W. Davis. The grants will support student projects promoting peace and social justice in the Caribbean and Africa.
Bucknell junior Jose Saavedra Valdivia and senior Stefan Ivanovski submitted one of the winning proposals, "Puerto Rico Se Anima," which will work to raise awareness of social problems, promote social justice and encourage creativity through a unique 2-D animation program for high-school students in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Saavedra, who is majoring in art, is an international student from Chile. Ivanovski, who is majoring in international relations and Spanish, is from Macedonia.
The Puerto Rico Se Anima project will involve 50 participants aged 18 to 25 in workshops, learning how to work in teams, improve their written and oral communication skills, and learning word processing, presentation, spreadsheet and complex animation software.
The 5-10 minute animations, which will focus on issues that affect the everyday lives of Puerto Ricans such as drug trafficking, homicide, crime, corruption, domestic violence, racism, discrimination, sexism, illegal immigration, emigration, unemployment and poverty, will be presented at an animation festival open to the public. || Related link: Flamboyan Foundation contributes to project
In addition, Saavedra and Ivanovski intend to create an educational documentary modeled after "Missing Seeds," a Bucknell University student production that received Davis Projects for Peace funding in 2008. The documentary will focus on raising awareness of the most pressing issues affecting Puerto Ricans. The plan is to delegate the responsibility of filming the documentary to one of the eight Puerto Rican volunteers. Saavedra, who is the founder of the organization Latinoamérica Creativa, will edit the documentary by the end of September, with plans to upload it on the website of Latinoamérica Creativa organization and promote it through various social media.
"Bucknell was supported with an additional $10,000 grant this year in honor of the late Reverend James Richard Leo, a 1956 Bucknell graduate," said Jennifer Figueroa, director of International Student Services at Bucknell. "Philanthropist and Projects for Peace founder Kathryn Davis chose to honor her friend Reverend Leo with the designation of an award for the Puerto Rico Se Anima project. "
Senior Relebohile Letsie submitted the second winning proposal, "Boloka Ngwao [Preserve Your Culture]" which aims to foster a sense of community and appreciation for cultural heritage, and address peace and social justice issues confronting many youth and young adults in Serowe, Botswana. Letsie is an accounting major from Botswana.
Young Batswana face a greater risk of the social ills associated with urbanization, demonstrated by numerous personal, societal, health and economic challenges witnessed today. Examples of these are increasing HIV/AIDs prevalence, alcohol and drug abuse, sexual promiscuity and lack of ambition.
Letsie's project aims to host six-day leadership camps for young adults aged 16-24 with different tribal backgrounds in Botswana, loosely premised on the centuries-old Setswana tradition of cultural initiation retreats called bogwera/bojale where 'elders' empower young adults with the knowledge and skills required for them to be productive members of society.
This is the sixth year Bucknell has participated in the Projects for Peace program. As a Davis United World College Scholars Program partner school, Bucknell is invited to nominate student projects for the program.
Bucknell students have worked on providing clean drinking water in South America; establishing a sewing co-op in Guatemala; designing a water pumping station in Nicaragua; making a documentary about the plight of banana workers in Nicaragua; establishing a bicycle co-op for two villages in northern Uganda, a project that has become Bicycles Against Poverty; and raising awareness of a government-funded healthcare program in Sierra Leone.
In its sixth year, the Projects for Peace program honors philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis, who launched the initiative on her 100th birthday in 2007. Each of the 100 projects selected are designed to encourage and support motivated youth to create and implement their ideas for building peace throughout the world in the 21st century.
University students from more than 90 partner schools will collectively receive more than $1.25 million in funding during the summer of 2012 for projects in all regions of the world.
"I want to use my birthday to once again help young people launch some initiatives that will bring new energy and ideas to the prospects of peace in the world," said Davis. "My many years have taught me that there will always be conflict. It's part of human nature. But love, kindness, and support are also part of human nature, and my challenge to these young people is to bring about a mindset of preparing for peace instead of preparing for war."
A complete list of the participating schools and projects, as well as a summary of all previous projects and a video interview with Davis from 2006, is available on the program's website.

The title of this movie invites such an obvious snarky comment that it's difficult to resist just saying it, right now, at the very beginning of this review.
Lead us not into "Tyler Perry's Temptation."
No, no, I must resist. I must. First of all, every critic in America will undoubtedly fall back on that New Testament riff when they rip into Perry's latest hackneyed melodrama, which was not screened in advance for press. The last thing I want to do on Easter weekend is commit the sin of making a bad Biblical pun, especially when Perry has already committed so many cinematic sins in this intelligence-insulting film.
Arguably, the biggest one of all: casting Kim Kardashian in a supporting role.
Wait, Kim Kardashian is in this? And she's trying to act?
Yes, America, she is! And even though this isn't the first time that's happened — she's previously played pretend people on TV and in occasional movies, in addition to the actual fake person (herself) she plays on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" — she appears to have zero experience uttering dialogue for the purposes of storytelling. She's just dreadful.
Then again, even people who have previously demonstrated some acting skill — like Jurnee Smollett-Bell, who exuded both femininity and tomboy-spunk as Jess on NBC's "Friday Night Lights," and Vanessa Williams — seem completely at sea here, dragged down by a lazy script and excruciatingly slow pacing.
In "Temptation," we meet Judith (Smollett-Bell) and Brice (Lance Gross), childhood sweethearts who grew up in the South, married young and moved to Washington. The only reason we know they're in the District, by the way, is due to the overused, interstitial aerial shots of the Capitol and the Kennedy Center. Otherwise, the setting feels about as D.C. as Buford, Wyoming.
Brice becomes a pharmacist, Judith starts working for a matchmaker (Williams, who incomprehensibly speaks with a French accent solely to serve a lame punch line that doesn't land until the movie's final half-hour) while dreaming of starting a marriage counseling practice, and together they settle into a nuptial funk that's increasingly weighing on Judith. Meanwhile, there's an ultra-smooth social media mogul named Harley (Robbie Jones, essentially playing an African American, sexually aggressive version of Mark Zuckerberg) who's working on a business-related project with Judith and blatantly attempting to seduce her.
Look, we know what's going to happen. The movie's called "Temptation," okay? Yet we still have to sit through more than an hour of flirty glances and repetitive conversations between Judith and Harley until anything vaguely adulterous occurs. Brandy Norwood plays one of Brice's co-workers, but we don't fully understand why her character even exists until the wackadoodle, 11th-hour plot twist finally rears its head in traditional Tyler Perry-movie fashion.
Still, nothing is as exhausting as listening to Kardashian's nasal whining. As one of Judith's colleagues, she's a glamourpuss who makes vapid comment ("A degree on the wall without labels on your back means nothing") after exceedingly rude comment ("When people look at you, it reflects badly on me") until you can't help but wonder ("Is your fashion icon a Delta stewardess?") why Judith ever has conversations with this woman ("Oh. My. God. You're wearing flats??") in the first place.
It's interesting that the movie highlights all the things that can go wrong when a person becomes too wrapped up in status, flashy symbols of wealth and sexual heat. In a sense, "Tyler Perry's Temptation" is ultimately a cautionary tale about turning into Kim Kardashian.
And on that score at least, this movie gets an amen.
Chaney is a freelance writer.
No stars.
PG-13. At area theaters. Contains violence, sexuality and drug content. 111 minutes.

This annual display is the brainchild of Loretta Hines Howard, who collected and donated the 200-plus Neapolitan crèche figurines that adorn the tree and surrounding scene. Though Howard has passed away, her daughter and granddaughter continue to help arrange the 18th-century angels that cascade down the blue spruce into elaborate nativity scene on the ground.
For 65 years, the Norwegian capital of Oslo has given the tree in Trafalgar Square to the people of London as a thank-you for their support during World War II. This year, the 65-footer is a Norwegian spruce (see it being cut in this video) and the lighting ceremony takes place December 6.
This year marks the 99th celebration of Chicago's holiday tradition. First lit in Grant Park in 1913, the tree—which always comes from within 100 miles of Chicago's Loop neighborhood—was moved to Daley Plaza in 1966. This year's Colorado spruce is decorated with 14,600 multicolored lights.
The tree's decorative theme this year is "Celebrating the great outdoors," and the 5,000 ornaments made by Colorado school children will reflect that. One of those lucky kids will win the chance the flip the tree's lights with Speak of the House John Boehner on December 4—though they'll have a stiff competitor for the spotlight. This tree might just be the biggest arboreal celeb ever: Before arriving in D.C. yesterday, the tree's trip from the White River National Forest to the Capitol front lawn was stalked at TracktheTree.com; the fir also gets its own new, original song and Facebook page; and the lighting ceremony will be streamed live online.
Our nation's capital gets two notable evergreens, and this one is the only living tree to make our list. The Colorado blue spruce that will be lit on December 6 (with a to-do that will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, no less) was transplanted to its new home October 27 just days before Hurricane Sandy. The previous tree died in May from root shock, just months after it was transplanted from New Jersey.
Prague's first city conifer was unveiled in 1925, but no trees were raised between 1941 and 1945, or between 1947 and 1992. The tradition seems to be on solid ground though now; this year's 72-foot spruce will be decorated with 36,000 lights, 100 giant gingerbread men, and 30 classical ornaments.
It takes 12 people, working eight days to set up the tree in Sydney's Martin Place. The 69-foot tree, which has been a holiday landmark since 1937, will be decorated with 58,000 lights, 90 white bulbs, and more than 150 stars—all topped with a five-foot star. It takes 12 people, working eight days to set up the tree in Martin Place.
Considered to be the largest in the world, the Dortmund tree is certainly the largest on our list—standing 148 feet tall. But the behemoth is actually made up of 1,700 smaller fir trees. This year's creation is decorated with more 48,000 lights and topped with a 13-foot angel.
More than 170 Christmas shops surround the 65-foot tree at Berlin's Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church market. Pick up a cocoa or mulled wine and take a walk around. This year around 2 million visitors are expected to do just that.
Philly's "LOVE Park," (a.k.a. John F. Kennedy Plaza, but nicknamed for the famous sculpture) gets transformed into a holiday haven with 60 stands for holiday shoppers. But the centerpiece of the season is the immense multicolored Christmas tree topped with a white star.
The 65-foot Christmas tree isn't the only main attraction in Thessaloniki's Aristotelous Square. A giant decorated ship recalls the Greek tradition of decorating boats instead of greenery.
For 23 years the city has flip-flopped between either a Douglas or silver fir for its annual Christmas evergreen, but this year the Emerald City is going sustainable with an artificial tree. Multicolored lights and ornaments cover the faux fir, and a white star tops it.

Last year around this time, I was walking to the LACMA parking lot when I looked up and saw something extraordinary. I just happened to glance back at Urban Light, and high above it shone a large gleaming heart on the Variety building across Wilshire.
At first I thought it had something to do with Valentine's Day, but after some investigating I discovered it was part of Go Red for Women, an initiative sponsored by the American Heart Association to both raise awareness about coronary heart disease and promote health-conscious lifestyles to reduce the leading cause of death in the United States.
They're doing it again this year. As part of the nationwide initiative, cities will Go Red tomorrow night, including several buildings in Los Angeles. Be on the lookout for hearts on buildings or local spots lit up in crimson. And if you happen to be at LACMA tomorrow evening, be sure to look up—it's bound to be twice as bright.

Democracy and healthy government don't happen by accident. If people don't hold those accountable for their dastardly deeds things erode further and we end up with governments put together from social media rantings and rumours.
Ultimately people have to ask why political entities hide and do what they do? For example while it's easy to hit a few buttons on facebook to zip up an ad does it really have an impact compared to local media? If you're still reading this story you've spent far more time on this page exposing our ads to you than you would zipping through a social media page thus dramatically increasing the chance of you noticing an ad.

The cinematic form is a unique artistic language in that it is an orchestration of various sub-forms and simultaneously exists in the visual and audible realms; a perfect example of multiple expressions and their inspirational sources in synthesis. The evolutionary path from concept to viewer is paved by the mastery of various artists and technicians. Effective communication between the parts and the visionary elements is critical to the effectiveness of the whole expression.
Film is photography in motion and thus exists on the visual plane. Each frame serves as a singular moment that supports the entire scene. Each scene does the same for the entire film. It requires the viewer to use a broad range of senses and emotional responses. The resulting experience is arguably greater than the sum of its layers.
Film also exists on the sonic plane. Music and sound provide ceilings and floors to the characters and situations in a scene. It gives them relevance to the setting and mood of the film as a whole. This combined with character dialogue lends a sense of rhythm and motion to the narrative. The effect this mechanism has on the audience is affected by the extent of its use.
When considered separately, each element seems to take on new and different characteristics than intended within the whole. Omission of a sonic element may foster unintended interpretations of the scene. Likewise, the soundtrack becomes independently amorphous when the visual elements are omitted.
Film directors may be likened to band leaders in the cinematic sense, fostering meaningful relationships between the parts and the whole. Effective communication of the core vision is crucial to the success of film work. Italian filmmaker Frederico Fellini is a fine example of effective artistic communication and leadership. His ability to communicate ideas and facilitate creativity enabled him to make some of the most inspiring pieces of cinematic work. His manifestations provided a surreal theater through which the audience can relate, in some way, to his complex vision.
In his masterpiece, 8 ½ (1963), Fellini paints a vivid picture of the artist's struggle to externalize the inner voice. In I, Fellini, the director describes the terror of being disconnected from his inspiration. Under the pressure of having a producer, contract and film team ready to go, he decided to invite us into his theater of frustration by making it the subject of his film. The film became about Fellini's "director's block". The art became about itself.
Terry Gilliam is one of many directors who cite Fellini as one of his most essential influences. Gilliam relates to Fellini's ability to project his own warped sense of reality onto the screen. He relates to his open, fantastic and somewhat childlike perceptions of the world. The reality distortions evident in his work are expressions of this wonder and enthusiasm. Their cartoon-like reflections of life can be credited by the fact that both directors also worked in animation. The autobiographical representation of the artist's experience as illustrated by 8 ½ can also be seen in Lost in La Mancha (2003); a documentary about Gilliam's unsuccessful attempt to bring the story of Don Quixote to the big screen.
Film is also as much about the story as it is about the egos behind them.
Non-fiction films, or documentaries, try to tip the scale toward the story as a snapshot of our culture and away from premeditated expression. The storyteller becomes a conduit, though still biased, of external sources more so than the internal subconscious. The story develops as the camera records it and then is later edited according to the storyteller's agenda. These collections of animated photography capture elements of reality that might be hidden behind geographic divisions and mainstream media shrouds; a 'microtone' between the official, state-supported story. Often the ignored noncommercial stepchild of fiction film, documentary film may be the last remaining witness of our cultures' past and present and one of the last true societal reflections in a controlled global media.
Documentaries have the potential to challenge the status quo and offer an alternative window out of the politically and commercially manufactured box of awareness. Typically, the genre has flourished in environments and periods of social unrest.
Documentary film should stimulate open and free dialogue where all voices are given equal consideration. The dominance of only one vocal paradigm is not an ideal arrangement in a free society. Influences and mechanisms should always be held under high scrutiny by the audience to ensure fair dialogue. One of its primary goals should be to facilitate debate and encourage independent and critical thought. A statement unchallenged can potentially skew our understanding of the issues and ourselves. Due to their low-profile, some run the risk of enshrining apocrypha as fact. Documentary directors should be kept under balanced scrutiny while taking inevitable biases into consideration. Directors with the purest intentions are still slaves to their experience.
Some films are made with the intention to overload the public mind with ruling party rhetoric and create and maintain an overriding paradigm. The U.S. government is known to have fed their influence through media channels in order to build public support for its agenda. The Creel Commission, an agency designed under the Woodrow Wilson administration to bring a docile population into war frenzy, set the stage for media control in the United States. Frank Capra's World War II morale building epic Why We Fight is an example of state influence on the documentary filmmaking process and subsequent manipulation of the democratic process. Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1993) is a documentary that offers rare insight into these mechanisms.
During its various peaks, the "aura of authenticity" of documentary films has had influence on the way narrative films were made. A docudrama like Gillo Pontecorvo's The Battle of Algiers is an example of the presentation of real events in a narrative form. The most recent Hollywood blockbuster, Rules of Engagement was designed to promote Middle Eastern stereotypes and stoke fear and hatred against Arabs partly because their popular resistance to Western superiority. Within its closing narrative, the film attempts to justify the indiscriminant slaughter of Yemenese civilian protestors by revealing them as murderous animals, bent on the destruction of all things American.
Music documentaries like Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music (1970) were employed to record a moments in our cultural development. Through technology and newer methods of distribution the mirror was held up to a wider audience and its influence was spread across cultures. This illustrates the symbiotic relationship between film and culture and its cycle of reflection and creation. The influence of documentary can shape the structure of political discourse as well as be influenced by it. Consequently, most of the political divisions that exist today can be traced back to the voices of the sixties.
In the sixties, a new movement called cinema verite was sparked by film artists who used mobile equipment. The result was rawer imagery and a virtual immersion in the moment. Soon after, France hosted a reaction to cinema verite with Marcel Ophuls's The Sorrow and the Pity. This film took a more somber and reflective look at French culture and its taboos. This illustrated their introspective and somewhat honest understanding of the "soiled pages" of their history and culture.
In the United States, the popularity of reality television can be traced back to a 1973 television documentary called An American Family. Its spotlight on the Loud Family was a brutal reflection of post-sixties tension. The film crew lived with a real family for seven months and recorded every agonizing nuance of their lives. This work tapped into the subject's eagerness for self-exposure thus pushing the boundaries of privacy and exploitation. Creative motivations also began to consider the public's voyeuristic tendencies and their need for mirrors of their own experiences. This is not to disregard the influence of the screen-writers guild strikes in the nineties. At that point, America was primed for reality television.
None of this is to say that documentaries should not have engrossing personality and be artfully presented, but personality should never completely overshadow the real political lessons that can be learned. The personality provides a pathway to the essential message. Without these messages, we risk darkening our history and betraying the hidden victims of lessons unlearned. Effective documentaries help us to stay connected to our history and culture.
Music, film and their various sub-forms are methods by which the art process can facilitate and advance human communication and societal evolution. They can be utilized by the individual as an adopted language for the expression of ambiguous visions. They can serve as a binding force once adopted by the community consciousness. The art process may not be considered complete until the audience receives and builds on its definition. This interactivity is as important to the life of an art work as its creator and subject. To quote Marcel Duchamp, "The viewer finishes the picture."
In a dynamic society, there should be no static, universal definition of art. The way we think about it is as diverse as our individual experiences. To limit art to a singular, unchanging system of rules is to deny its pluralistic and ever-changing nature.

Ryan Margaret's Gender-Neutral Nursery
Name: Ryan Margaret (18 months)
Location: Chicago, IL
We started with a neutral primary and secondary color nursery. When we found out that we were having a girl, we added some feminine touches.
My sister made the bumpers and a quilt from fabric that I chose. I went high end on her crib, but used a hand-me-down dresser. We were lucky enough to get the bookshelf and hanging shelf as gifts from a generous Aunt. The walls were painted a neutral khaki color, so that they can transition well in to a little girl's room in a few years.
Thanks, Carrie! Readers, you can visit Carrie at Prospect Park Ridge.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - Head Coach Gregg Wilson has been mentoring volunteer assistant coach Mark Warkentin, and helping him prepare for the Open Water Nationals in Fort Meyers, Florida to compete in the 5k, 10k and 25k events June 2nd, 4th and 6th, 2006.
Mark is no stranger to the swimming scene. He has been competing at elite levels for many years and has done smaller open water races. His intense pool training in the past, and more recently, is preparing him for these challenging open water races.
"Gregg has intense sets, I haven't altered much from the workouts he gives his team in order to prepare" stated Warkentin.
His minor adjustments have included swimming for 4 hours straight or doing 1,000 meter swims 20 times in a row. All done to prepare him physically, but mentally as well.
"Most people could swim for 5 hours straight, but it is their minds that hold them back" Warkentin stated.
As for some of the obstacles Mark will face there are no wetsuits allowed and there is always the possibility of sharks. None of this seems to bother him, the water temperature seems to be the biggest opposition.
"I am not a fan of cold water" commented Warkentin.
His competition will include names and faces that Mark has seen around the swimming scene. Swimming is what these guys do. And when looking for new a challenge they turn to the open water to test their strengths and abilities.
The top two swimmers from each race in Florida will go on to represent the USA in Naples, Italy as part of the World Championship team.
"As an athlete there is a lot to be said about being able to represent your country" stated Mark. Being a member of the US team is a driving force for him in this race. "It is the ultimate in a sport. It is a sign of respect of the achievements and dedication made by athletes when they are honored as delegates for their country."

But not this year. No, this year I am just going to publish post after post of ridiculous Halloween stuff I find and call it Halloween Gone Good.
Today, I present Incredible Pumpkins - clearly some people think there are better ways to create a Jack O'Lantern than just hacking up a pumpkin with a kitchen knife. And while I admire them and their handiwork, there is not one of these pumpkins I think I could make myself.
I love this Polka-Dot Pumpkin, made with an apple corer, and putting pieces of one cored pumpkin into the other pumpkin:

Better Homes & Gardens also has a slideshow entitled Quick and Easy Painted Pumpkins though again, if I was the one doing the "quick and easy" painting it would actually be slow and agonizing... just look at these incredible pumpkins!

What's the most clever pumpkin you've ever seen? My husband's pick is this old favorite, the puking pumpkin:

Metro-North commuter 'Speakout' set Tuesday in Fairfield
A forum for the region's railroad commuters to vent over the problems besieging Metro-North Railroad is set for Tuesday night in Fairfiield.
And state Transportation Commissioner James Redeker will be on hand to hear them. Metro-North's new president, Joseph Giulietti, also has been invited.
The "Metro-North Commuter Speakout" -- set for 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Pequot Library, 720 Pequot Ave. -- is sponsored by the Citizens Transportation Lobby. It will be moderated by a representative of the League of Women's Voters.
One of the nation's busiest commuter lines, the railroad and its passengers have been buffeted by a series of problems over the last several years, with a rash of particularly intense crises beginning last May with a collision between two trains near the Fairfield-Bridgeport border.
The most recent commuter outcry greeted the railroad's decision Friday to cut back service to Saturday levels in the wake of the week's earlier snowstorm, causing severe overcrowding and extensive delays.
The litany of problems prompted the resignation last month of Metro-North's previous president, Howard Permut. Less than two weeks later, the entire system came to a screeching halt Jan. 23 during the evening rush hour because of what the railroad later blamed on "human error."
Five days later, a railroad employee was charged with sexually assaulting a female passenger aboard a train as it approached the downtown station.
The railroad over the last year also has been plagued by several serious power disruptions that triggered prolonged service shutdowns, as well as incidents that raised questions about its safety and maintenance procedures, personnel standards and management.

The Eaton 5PX UPS is an integrated power protection and power management solution for corporate and industrial networks as well as small-to-medium sized data centers. The 5PX is the only power backup system that not only protects connected equipment during a power outage, but meters energy consumption of individual devices at the outlet segment level in kilo-watt hours. Through the 5PX's intuitive LCD display and Eaton's seamlessly integrated Intelligent Power Management software, the UPS reports power consumption for the whole unit, as well as the primary outlet groups. This provides engineers, IT, facility and data center managers a deeper understanding of the power draw of individual devices connected to the UPS and gives them the ability to better manage electrical loads, consumption and energy footprint. Moreover, the 5PX, with an efficiency rating of up to 99%, provides up to 28% more wattage then typical UPSs, allowing users to attach more equipment, providing an attractive ROI. The 5PX's comprehensive functionality including load segment control, power metering, more wattage and high efficiency gives managers a very comprehensive, energy-efficient and affordable solution to the damaging and costly effects of power problems. With the ongoing quest by organizations to decrease energy and cooling costs, Eaton's innovative engineering has succeeded in developing the highest efficiency design that significantly reduces heat (reducing expensive cooling) while delivering more wattage in less space to protect more equipment and leave additional room to expand IT systems. Each 5PX unit, including the batteries, is backed by an industry-leading three-year warranty. Additionally, the unit features Eaton's Advanced Battery Management (ABM) technology that increases battery service life by up to 50%. The 5PX 1000RT models start at $657.

Upon a prolonged power outage, the VDC XEB will gracefully transfer to onsite generators. The VDC XEB's ability to offer extended runtime gives users further peace of mind for applications including those with automatic transfer switch (ATS) time delays and/or synchronization time requirements for multiple generators. Additionally, for users of the VDC XEB requiring higher power, up to four VDC XEB systems can be paralleled for longer autonomy and/or redundancy.
The average price is $75,000.

I had a distinct sense of déja vu all over again at Europe House in Westminster this evening at the screening of a short documentary film "The Human Chain" (directed by Riccardo Russo). The film was co-produced by the World Food Programme (WFP) and the European Commission, to highlight their joint response to the 2012 drought and consequent hunger in the region that forms the southern belt to the Sahara. The déja vu was because I was in the Sahel in 1979, researching a report for the World Council of Churches (WCC) on The Use and Abuse of Food Aid and more than 30 years on this all seemed achingly familiar. I kept in touch with region, being the founder-Secretary of a British NGO SOS Sahel, and then later (1991-2000) being Mauritania's Honorary Consul to the Court of St. James's. The Sahel is still subject to cyclical drought and famine, despite worthy efforts to stop soil erosion through tree-planting and the like. Climate change has certainly not helped. Greg Barrow of the WFP (a former BBC East Africa correspondent) moderated the debate after the film screening this evening, with a panel made up of current BBC correspondent Mark Doyle (hot foot from the mayhem in Mali), Maya Mailer from Oxfam and the new Head of the European Commission's representation in London, Jackie Minor. There were a number of old Africa hands in the audience who made contributions, including a radical blast froma colleague of my Food Aid past Benny Denbitzer, who was fairly hostile to the film. I spoke sharing his depression, not because because the film is bad — on the contrary, it is very good, using some really well-chosen and sympathetically portrayed vox populi. I was depressed because so little has changed and I don't see how the Sahel can escape from the spiral of deprivation unless there is a holistic approach to the region's challenges by both the region's governments and the European Union (and its constituent Member States), as well as international organizations such as WFP and aid agencies, but extending further than mere aid and even conventional development. Europe does have to take a certain responsibility for the Sahel, for both historical and geographical reasons, and that needs to be embraced in a spirit of equal partnership with the countries and people concerned. All this needs to go far beyond the security and anti-terrorism partnership proclaimed by David Cameron or Francois Hollande. Otherwise the Sahel will be condemned to suffer for eternity.

The national Earth Science Week is October 11 to 17, 2009, as designated by the American Geological Institute. This year's theme is "Understanding Climate." Governor Bill Richardson issued a proclamation declaring this same week as Earth Science Week in New Mexico.
Scientists at the Bureau and the university have prepared five special radio features about geology and Earth science that will air on KUNM 89.9 during Earth Science Week. Nelia Dunbar, Mike Timmons, Stacy Timmons, Dave Love and Rick Aster each wrote a two-minute feature about their specialty. The recordings will also be available on the websites of the Bureau, New Mexico Tech and KUNM. Each of the five radio spots focuses on a different aspect of New Mexico geologic history.
The five radio spots will be broadcast at 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, October 12 to 16.

One particular goal of the special week is to promote understanding of how citizens are affected by the natural environment. While California's earthquake hazards are well-known, New Mexico has a moderately active seismic region.
On October 15, California is organizing a ShakeOut event, which educates and empowers residents across the state to prepare for a damaging earthquake. New Mexico Tech also has designated Thursday, Oct. 15, as Earthquake Awareness Day.
According to seismologists at New Mexico Tech, earthquakes occur in most parts of the state. The Socorro area has been the most active region in New Mexico for at least the past 150 years. (See map at right).
During the last 45 years, nearly half of the seismic energy generated by earthquakes in New Mexico has been released in a region centered near Socorro that includes only about two percent of the state's total land area.
This activity is caused by the Socorro Magma Body, an inflating body of molten rock that covers roughly 1,300 square miles about 12 miles beneath the surface. (See second graphic below).
Earthquake swarms, defined as series of earthquakes recurring for days in nearly the same location within minutes of each other, are very common in the Socorro region. The majority of the earthquakes in these swarms are shallow (3 to 8 miles beneath the surface), and relatively small (magnitude less than 1.0). The most recent swarm occurred in August 2009, with the largest event at magnitude 2.6.
The largest earthquakes of record in this region occurred during an earthquake swarm in 1906, with maximum magnitude estimated at 6.18. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, there is an 18 percent chance of a large earthquake (magnitude greater than 6.0) in the Socorro region in the next 100 years. Earthquakes of this strength can cause personal injury and extensive structural damage. For more information on New Mexico earthquakes please see the New Mexico Tech Geophysics website.
|The Socorro Magma body
California's ShakeOut website and the Federal Emergency Management Agency's website provide resources, links, and fact sheets to help prepare for an earthquake.
The Earthquake Survival Program sponsored by Los Angeles County has 12 fact sheets on earthquake survival (what to do before, during and after a quake).
|News clippings about the 1906 Socorro earthquake. These clips are featured in the poster "Earthquakes in New Mexico and the Socorro Magma Body."
The Federal Emergency Management Agency provides three fact sheets to help everyone prepare for an earthquake, along with links to cooperating agencies that respond to earthquakes and other disasters. http://www.fema.gov/hazard/earthquake/index.shtm
Earth Science Week is important to New Mexico because our enchanted landscapes offer more than scenic beauty. The spectacular geology of our state is a world-renowned natural laboratory for scientists studying the history and evolution of the Earth, ranging from the recent past, through to the age of the dinosaurs, and even back to our mysterious distant planetary past billions of years ago.
New Mexico is also richly endowed with natural resources such as minerals, water, oil and gas, forests, wildlife, and astonishingly diverse recreational opportunities. A pressing challenge today is to maintain a healthy, environment while enjoying and sustaining these resources.
New Mexico scientists provide hard data and analysis about climate change, pollution, geologic hazards, mineral resources, and supplies of fossil fuels and water. These studies benefit our state through increased Earth science awareness in citizens of all ages. A strong Earth science presence in our schools creates better-informed citizens to help ensure that we make the best decisions for our future on these critical issues.
New Mexico Tech is a world-respected institution in Earth science education and research. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources, which is located on campus at New Mexico Tech, conducts teacher workshops on geology and earthquake hazards each summer.
The Bureau also provides AGI-sponsored Earth Science Week planning toolkits to teachers, and promotes Earth Science Week at teacher open houses and other science-related events each fall.
Year-round, the Bureau produces and distributes diverse publications, materials and information to the public, and responds to requests from teachers for curriculum materials including rock and mineral samples, maps and lesson plans. Earth Matters, a Bureau publication that informs the public about important natural resource issues, is mailed to several thousand readers across the state twice each year.
The New Mexico Tech Earth and Environmental Science Department provides critical Earth science education for New Mexico and the nation by educating students from bachelor's level up to the Ph.D. level. The department also carries out world-recognized research in geology, geochemistry, geophysics and hydrology, and EES faculty interact frequently with New Mexico's public schools and the general public through education and outreach lectures, radio and televison specials, and other activities. Alumni of the Department hold key industry, government and academic roles in New Mexico, the U.S. and around the world.
Reaching adults with the latest information in Earth science is critical to promoting policies that contribute to a healthy and sustainable environment and to a prosperous society. The New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Department of Earth Science regularly work with decision makers in New Mexico and Washington, D.C., with resource agency and educational partners and with the schools, media and general public to communicate science that is critical to a well-informed society.
Celebrating our planet and its remarkable history, promoting responsible environmental stewardship and establishing sustainable natural resource management are goals we can strive for all year. During Earth Science Week, we will focus on increasing Earth science awareness in the citizens of New Mexico.

Accenture surveyed almost 10,000 people in November 2014 in 13 countries around the globe. Our research findings show a significant shift in results compared to last year in these four areas: customer experience, flexible fulfillment, connect shopping and personalize experiences.
Noteworthy changes in results this year
People are online more as part of their overall shopping experience – browsing, purchasing, researching – something they used to do in store. And that's good news because they are having fewer issues with the cross-channel, seamless shopping experience. However, research shows shoppers find it easiest to make a purchase in store.
Shoppers still want instant gratification versus waiting for something to be shipped. But people are expecting more from the in-store shopping experience, like the ability to order out of stock items – from their mobile phone, a kiosk or a sales associate – and having access to wifi. These digital services are what they would like to see most improved.
And we saw a big shift in how people are purchasing online after business hours. Of those who are willing to wait for something to be shipped, they are more prone to shop around for best price. The impact: higher risk of losing sales at local stores and online with their favorite retailer. While speed of delivery is important to online shoppers, this year, we found that shoppers find it more important to schedule their deliveries.

Before defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove signed with the Cowboys in May, it looked like his career might be over.
Hargrove did not play at all in 2012, in part because he was initially suspended by the NFL for his alleged involvement in the Saints' bounty program and no team signed him as a free agent, and he joined a lawsuit against the league because of concussions he sustained during his playing career. The job offer from the Cowboys contradicted those signs that Hargrove was at the end of the line, but now we're again wondering if Hargrove's finished.
Nick Eatman of the Cowboys website reports that the team has released Hargrove a little more than a month after signing him. While you normally can't tell all that much from unpadded offseason workouts, the Cowboys obviously felt they saw enough to know that Hargrove wouldn't be able to help them in the 2013 season.
That's not going to be a big help for Hargrove when it comes to finding other work, although one never knows what injuries may open up jobs around the league as the summer unfolds.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Teniposide injection is used in combination with other medicines to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Teniposide belongs to the group of medicines known as antineoplastic agents. It interferes with the growth of the cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal body cells may also be affected by teniposide, other effects will also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor. Other effects, like hair loss, may not be serious but may cause concern. Some effects may not occur until months or years after the medicine is used.
Before you begin treatment with teniposide, you and your doctor should talk about the benefits of this medicine as well as the risks of using it.
This medicine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of teniposide injection in children.
No information is available on the relationship of age to the effects of teniposide injection in geriatric patients. However, elderly patients are more likely to have unwanted side effects (e.g., hypotension or low blood pressure), which may require caution in patients receiving teniposide injection.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are taking this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A doctor or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital or cancer treatment center. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins. This medicine must be given slowly, so the IV tube must remain in place for at least 30 to 60 minutes.
Teniposide is sometimes given together with other medicines. If you are receiving a combination of medicines, it is important that you receive each one at the proper time. If you are taking some of these medicines by the mouth, ask your doctor to help you plan a way to take them at the right times.
Teniposide often causes nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, which may be severe. However, it is very important that you continue to receive the medicine, even if you begin to feel ill. Ask your doctor for ways to lessen these effects.
You may also receive other medicines to help prevent nausea or vomiting and allergic reactions from teniposide.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
This medicine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor or nurse right away if you have chills; fever; lightheadedness, dizziness, or fainting; fast, pounding heartbeat; swelling of the face, tongue, and throat; or trouble with breathing after you receive the medicine.
If teniposide accidentally leaks out of the vein into which it is injected, it may damage some tissues and may cause scarring. Tell the doctor right away if you notice redness, pain, or swelling at the injection site.
While you are being treated with teniposide, and after you stop treatment, do not have any immunizations (vaccinations) without your doctor's approval. Teniposide may lower your body's resistance, and there is a chance you might get the infection the immunization is meant to prevent. In addition, other persons living in your household should not take oral polio vaccine, since there is a chance they could pass the polio virus on to you. Also, avoid persons who have taken oral polio vaccine within the last several months. Do not get close to them, and do not stay in the same room with them for very long. If you cannot take these precautions, you should consider wearing a protective face mask that covers the nose and mouth.
This medicine can cause birth defects if it is used by the mother while she is pregnant or by the father when his sexual partner becomes pregnant. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If a pregnancy occurs while you are using this medicine, tell your doctor right away.
This medicine may cause a decrease in the amount of sperm you ejaculate during sex. This may affect your ability to have children. Ask your doctor on whether you can store sperm for future artificial use.
Hypotension (low blood pressure) may occur with this medicine. Your doctor will measure your blood pressure and keep it from going too low while you are receiving this medicine.
Teniposide can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Check with your doctor as soon as possible if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
This medicine often causes a temporary loss of hair. After treatment with teniposide has ended, normal hair growth should return.
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Bill Thompson & Anne Thompson Richter
Theme: Chopped Liver — The first and last letters of each theme answer spell the word "liver."
Theme answers:
- 18A: Portrayer of the Elf maiden Arwen in "The Lord of the Rings" (LIV TYLER).
- 26A: Exist like a mob informant, say (LIVE IN FEAR).
- 49A: Enjoy leisurely (LINGER OVER).
- 60A: Solon (LAW GIVER).
- 69A: It's chopped, in a way, in 18-, 26-, 49- and 60-Across (LIVER).
Did you notice that the word is broken up differently in each theme answer? Very cool. I, personally, have never eaten liver. It just looks too much like an internal organ for me. ::shiver::
It's only Thursday, but there were quite a few things in today's grid that I just flat-out didn't know.
- 9A: "__ Astor": Sargent portrait (LADY). Luckily, this one became clear with crosses.
- 23A: Award for books on tape (AUDIE). That's a pretty cute name for an award, so I'm glad to have heard of it now. I wonder if when celebrities are writing memoirs these days they think to themselves, "Oh crap. I'm going to have to read this whole thing out loud."
- 42A: "Pink Shoe Laces" singer Stevens (DODIE). I think I'm just barely the wrong age for this one. I vaguely — vaguely — recall a singer named DODIE, but I never would have put the name together with Stevens.
- 62A: Santa Catalina's only city (AVALON). Again, with crosses there came a point where there wasn't much it could be but AVALON, but it's definitely not a place I've heard of. In Santa Catalina anyway. I know it from King Arthur. And the car lot.
- 68A: Old IBM PCs (XT'S). Could have been any two letters and an S as far as I was concerned.
- 30D: Indira's successor (RAJIV). For a minute, I thought this one should be parsed RAJ and the Roman numeral 4. Haha! But I heard a little voice way in the back of my head telling me that was stupid.
- 6A: Jazz aficionado (CAT). Not many people can get away with calling other people CATs. But the ones who can are very very cool.
- 16A: __ of mystery (AURA). First thought in my head was "MAN of mystery." When that didn't fit, it was really hard to change gears and think of something different.
- 37A: Somersaulting dive (GAINER). Haven't thought about this word since … the last time I watched the Summer Olympics.
- 56A: Beatles title woman who "made a fool of everyone" (SADIE). Don't tell Andrea, but I only know the title of this song — I've never heard it!
- 2D: Nincompoop (BOOB). Yesterday with the BREAST, today with BOOB, what do we have to look forward to tomorrow?!
- 10D: Seasonal song starter (AULD). I never think of New Year's with a clue like this. I just decide there are too many Christmas songs and I'll wait for crosses. Then … ::facepalm::.
- 12D: Easy to maneuver, at sea (YARE). Learned this one from crosswords.
- 19D: Cap with a pom-pom called a toorie (TAM). Wow. Who knew that pom-pom had a fancy name? That's awesome.
- 44D: Guts (INNARDS). Ew.
- 59D: Growl (GNAR). Again, learned it from crosswords. This is one of those words that looks like it should mean something totally different than what it means. I want it to mean a knot or a mess of some kind.
- 41A: Tolkien creature (ORC).
- 57A: Bit of work (ERG).
- 1D: Indian tomb site (AGRA).
- 50D: "Giant Brain" unveiled in 1946 (ENIAC).
- 63D: "Wheel of Fortune" purchase (AN I).
