Eric Sevareid, a radio and television correspondent who became one of the country's most respected reporters and commentators, died yesterday at his home in Washington. He was 79 years old.
He died of stomach cancer, said a spokesman for CBS.
Mr. Sevareid, who was recruited as a CBS News correspondent by Edward R. Murrow when both men were covering the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939, wrote elegant commentaries that he delivered in grave and sonorous tones, even when he was being caustically witty. Like Mr. Murrow, Mr. Sevareid was tall with rugged good looks that served him well during the transition from radio to television.
His writing ability and experience, combined with an ability to project a sense of fairness and sound judgment, brought him the respect of his peers and audiences, allowed Mr. Sevareid the right to introduce analysis and even opinion into his broadcasts. Among his colleagues, he was considered a journalist above the daily battle for news who had a scholarly mien and a knowledge of the American past to his choice of words.
Mr. Sevareid took outspoken positions in favor of civil and constitutional rights on the air and in writing. During the Vietnam War, Mr. Sevareid traveled to South Vietnam in 1966 and, in a special broadcast, clearly indicated that prolonging the war was unwise and that a negotiated peace was desirable.
In his long career, he worked in several European and South American countries and in Washington and New York. He became nationally known for breaking through the strictures of straight-news reporting by pioneering editorial analysis on prime-time television.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Sevareid defined himself as a cultural conservative and a political liberal. "I find myself politically liberal on domestic affairs and increasingly conservative on foreign affairs," he wrote in 1964 in the introduction to his book "This Is Eric Sevareid." He worried a good deal about America's sense of direction. "The hour may be too late for a high civilization," he said. "We are frightened to think that the very rich grow richer, the very poor poorer, the dark-skinned more violent, our cities simultaneously more crowded and more desolate, our countryside more ugly."
His was an adventurous life, which included a harrowing month among headhunters in the Burmese jungles. That was in 1943, after the plane in which he was riding developed engine trouble as it was flying over the Himalayas from India to China. Mr. Sevareid and 19 others had to bail out on the India-Burma border but made it out of the jungle on foot. Saw Himself as a Writer
Even at the height of his fame as a television correspondent, when his appearance and stature drew movie offers and invitations to do lucrative commercials -- which he declined -- Mr. Sevareid told friends that he always considered himself primarily a writer, not a performer. He wrote dozens of magazine articles, a syndicated newspaper column and half a dozen books.
"This is the age of the journalist more than the age of the artist, the teacher or the pastor," he once said. "It is the age of nonfiction because imagination cannot keep up with the fantastic daily realities."
Mr. Severeid's best-known book, "Not So Wild a Dream," was first published in 1946 after his years of war reporting. The autobiography covered his boyhood in the Dakotas, journey by canoe through Canada to Hudson Bay, wanderings among hoboes, apprenticeship as a newspaper reporter in Minneapolis and his adventures in wartime. He never forgot witnessing the terror of Nazism and anti-Semitism in Germany. The book went through 11 printings over the next 28 years and became a reference book for historians and other students of the Depression and war years. 'The Concept of Citizen'
"It was a lucky stroke of timing to have been born and to have lived as an American in this last generation," he wrote in 1976 for a new edition of the book. "It was good fortune to be a journalist in Washington, now the greatest single news headquarters in the world since ancient Rome. But we are not Rome; the world is too big, too varied. The 'American Century' concept of Henry Luce was an absurdity, too. We were not born to be imperialists; we never learned the style, and the time for this is gone. We understand the concept of citizen, not that of subject."
As an essayist who used journalism as the springboard for his idealism, he wrote: "Travels in all the continents have not lessened my love and respect for America, but deepened both, in spite of the distressing spread of our vulgarities. There is a civilization of the heart, too, and the goodness in Americans, the evangelical strain, has not disappeared. We have often been innocents abroad and at time have done unintended harm, but no other great power has the confidence and stability to expose and face its own blunders. We are a turbulent society but a stable republic."
Arnold Eric Sevareid was born to parents of Norwegian heritage on Nov. 26, 1912, in Velva, N.D. He spent his first years on the prairie wheatlands, but when drought struck in the 1920's, the family moved to Minneapolis.
After graduating from Minneapolis Central High School in 1930, he and a friend embarked on a 2,200-mile canoe trip from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay, to prove that it was possible to make such a trip through the continent's heartland entirely by water. He used his experiences as the basis for his first book, "Canoeing With the Cree" (1935).
At the age of 18, Mr. Sevareid worked as a copy boy and reporter for The Minneapolis Journal while attending the University of Minnesota. After being laid off from his reporting job in 1936, he and his first wife, the former Lois Finger, sailed for Europe. He studied political science at the London School of Economics, then attended the Alliance Francaise in Paris. Europe During World War II
In 1938, he was hired by the Paris edition of The New York Herald Tribune and soon became its night city editor. At the same time, he worked in the Paris bureau of United Press, the wire service.
In August 1939, only weeks before the outbreak of World War II, Mr. Murrow called him from London and asked if he wanted to try radio reporting. "I don't know very much about your experience," Mr. Murrow said, "but I like the way you write and I like your ideas."
Thus, Mr. Sevareid became one of "Murrow's Boys," who would enable CBS to dominate radio news for many years. He joined a group of former newspapermen turned CBS correspondents that was to include William L. Shirer, Charles Collingwood, Alexander Kendrick, Howard K. Smith, David Schoenbrun, Daniel Schorr and Richard C. Hottelet. Last to Broadcast From Paris
Mr. Sevareid covered the French Army and Air Force in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg, and he was the last American to broadcast from Paris. He fled the city with his wife and their infant sons just before the Nazis marched in. At Bordeaux, he broadcast the news that France was about to surrender. Then Mr. Sevareid joined Mr. Murrow in London for broadcasts during the Battle of Britain bombing raids.
Assigned to the CBS Washington bureau after his return to the United States in late 1940, Mr. Sevareid covered President Franklin D. Roosevelt and the war effort. Feeling restive at home while the war was still on, however, he headed for the China-Burma-India theater in 1943.
Back in Europe in 1944, Mr. Sevareid covered the campaign in Italy and Marshal Tito's partisans in Yugoslavia, landed with the first wave of Americans in southern France and accompanied them across the Rhine into Germany.
His postwar assignments included Washington, France, Germany and Britain. In 1964, he became a roving correspondent based in Washington; his commentaries were regularly featured on the "CBS Evening News With Walter Cronkite" until 1977, when Mr. Sevareid reached the company's mandatory retirement age of 65. His last appearance on a CBS News program was in "Remember Pearl Harbor," which was broadcast on Dec. 7, 1991. 'Passion and Beauty'
Walter Cronkite recently commented that he regarded Mr. Sevareid as "a master of the extemporaneous essay," citing Mr. Sevareid's performance when he first covered a space flight. "I remember that he was skeptical of manned space flights until he witnessed his first moon launching," Mr. Cronkite said. "Then he turned to the camera as the rocket disappeared into the stratosphere and delivered a totally spontaneous tribute to the astronauts and the technical successes on which they rode, a tribute that was a lovely ode of passion and beauty."
Charles Kuralt, the anchor of "Sunday Morning" on CBS, said: "Eric was the best thinker and writer who ever sat down to a microphone. He was the one giant tree in the forest. He stood alone."
Mr. Sevareid's books included "In One Ear" (1952) and "Small Sounds in the Night" (1956), which are collections of his magazine and newspaper articles and CBS broadcasts. He once wrote of himself: "I am cursed with a somewhat forbidding Scandinavian manner, with a restraint that spells stuffiness to a lot of people. But . . . inside I am mush, full of a lot of almost bathetic sentimentality about this country, the Midwest, Abraham Lincoln and the English language." Article Cited for Its 'Terrific Impact'
He had a long conversation with Adlai E. Stevenson, the United Nations Ambassador, two days before Mr. Stevenson's death in July 1965. An article based on that conversation, which was published in the Nov. 30, 1965, issue of Look magazine, won the New York Newspaper Guild's Page One Award, citing Mr. Sevareid's "excellent writing" and the piece's "terrific impact on the United States and the world."
In retirement, at his home in Washington or at his weekend cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Mr. Sevareid wrote, read and fished.
He is survived by his wife, Suzanne St. Pierre, a former producer for the CBS News broadcast "60 Minutes"; three children from two previous marriages, which ended in divorce, and six grandchildren. His two sons, Peter, of Swarthmore, Pa., and Michael, of Mount Joy, Pa., were born during his first marriage to the former Miss Finger, and his daughter, Cristina Kennedy, of Frederick, Md., was born during his second marriage, to Belen Marshall. Services will be private and a memorial is being planned in September in Washington.Continue reading the main story

Paul E. Sax, M.D., is director of the HIV Program and Division of Infectious Diseases at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
In the latest treatment-naive trials of elvitegravir and dolutegravir, there's a striking consistency in the results of the "test" regimen. Here are the studies, with the percentage of responders by treatment arm:
The last of these, the SINGLE study, is the only one where there's superiority in the primary outcome for the experimental arm, here ABC/3TC + dolutegravir. As the investigators noted, this favorable result was largely due to a significantly higher proportion of subjects in the TDF/FTC/EFV group discontinuing therapy for adverse events (10% vs 2%), as rates of virologic failure were similar between arms. ABC/3TC + dolutegravir also was better than TDF/FTC/EFV from both the immunologic and resistance perspective.
And though cross study comparisons are frowned upon by purists, we can't resist. Just a quick glance at all four of the EVG and DTG arms, and you can easily see that an 88% response rate is the new price of admission for any treatment-naive regimen.
Anything shy of the high 80s, and there has to be something else very special about the treatment -- for example, better tolerability, much lower cost, better long-term safety, helps you become a virtuoso violinist -- to make it compete these days with options for therapy we already have, or will have soon.

Whale bones discovered beneath mammoth fossil
600,000: Years ago that baleen whale died at East Village site
500,000: Years ago that Columbian mammoth died at same site
10: Feet of earth between them
Feb. 3, 2009: Mammoth found
Feb. 25: Whale found
The East Village construction site for the new Thomas Jefferson School of Law has become the dig of dreams for San Diego paleontologists.
Yesterday, the jaw, shoulder blade, neck bone and upper spine of a baleen whale, possibly 600,000 years old, were found in the reddish soil where excavation is taking place for the $68 million project. The ocean-going creature might have been 40 feet long.
On Feb. 3, in the same southeast corner of the construction zone and about 10 feet above yesterday's find, the skull, two tusks, foot and leg bones of a Columbian mammoth were discovered.
That animal was estimated to be about 500,000 years old and was the largest land animal of its time, possibly standing 15 to 17 feet tall.
It is rare to find such large fossils of land and sea in such close proximity, said Thomas Deméré, curator of paleontology at the San Diego Natural History Museum.
"It's unprecedented in San Diego County," Deméré said.
He said the whale is the first of its geological age found in the county and only the second found in Southern California. He said little is known about whales from the Pleistocene Epoch – ranging from about 1.8 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago – because there are no rocks that preserve their remains.
"Hopefully, it will tell us more about the evolutionary history of these animals," Deméré said.
The whale bones were scattered over an area about 40 feet wide, apparently moved by bay currents, said Pat Sena, a field paleontologist with the museum.
Sena discovered the mammoth and whale fossils. He had recently uncovered horse fossils and was expecting he might find another mammoth when the whale bones poked out of the dirt.
"I was astonished," Sena said. "You don't see that very often – so I was excited."
Sena said whale fossils dating back about 3 million years have been found at construction sites in National City and Chula Vista.
The discoveries of the mammoth and the whale, separated by about a one-story layer of soil, reveal the ebb and flow of global weather in ages past.
"When sea levels are in, it's a warmer climate – polar ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising," Sena said. "We're looking at periods of global warming and global cooling in a real short package of time here."
Gray whales, humpback whales, blue whales and bowhead whales are modern-day relatives of the baleen whale found yesterday. The term baleen refers to a broad suborder of whales that have no teeth but filter and swallow their prey. Paleontologists at the scene said additional study would show what variety of baleen whale perished in what is now the East Village.
"What we need to figure out is, who does that jaw belong to – what family of whales," said Sarah Siren, another museum paleontologist.
Thomas Jefferson School of Law Dean Rudy Hasl carried a cardboard box from the dig site with several pieces of whale bone.
"These are pieces of bone that have been impregnated with the minerals from the soil," he said. "These were down there a long, long time."
Previously discovered scallop shells, which are neatly preserved and have a bronze hue, will be imbedded in the floor of the law school's foyer, Hasl said.
"People will be walking on 500,000 years of history," he said.
The paleontologists are carefully removing the bones using hand axes, shovels, trowels and brushes. The last of the mammoth's bones were moved from the site last week, and the excavation of the whale may not be completed until next week.
Both ancient mammals will be studied by the Balboa Park museum's experts and eventually put on display.
Construction crews must still dig down 10 more feet for the law school's foundation. Might more remains of Ice Age animals be unearthed?
"The way it's going? Yeah," Sena said. "They just keep popping out of the ground."

Robots for Humanity
"I was lying in bed, watching TV as usual, when I saw a technology special on a mobile robot. I immediately imagined controlling it as a surrogate for my own body."
Those are the words of Henry Evans as he describes how our project on assistive robotics, Robots for Humanity, first began in October 2010. As a result of a brainstem stroke, Henry is mute and quadriplegic. Following extensive therapy, he regained the ability to move his head and use a finger, enabling him to use a computer. When Henry saw a television interview with Georgia Tech Professor Charlie Kemp showing research with the Willow Garage PR2, he immediately saw the opportunity for people with severe motor impairments to use mobile manipulators as assistive devices. Henry is motivated by the possibility of using a robot as a surrogate for his paralyzed body, and he believes thousands of others with severe motor impairments could benefit as well.
Robots for Humanity, a collaboration between Willow Garage, Georgia Tech, Oregon State and Henry and Jane Evans, was recently featured on CBS Evening News.
Technical details of this work are pending publication, but some of the highlights of the Robots for Humanity initiative are as follows:
- In October 2011, Henry gave Halloween candy to children through the PR2 robot at a local mall. As a child would approach the robot and hold out his or her candy bag, Henry would command the robot to pick up a candy from the side table and then place it inside the child's bag.
- In Henry's home, he has demonstrated navigating the robot through his home to find and deliver to himself objects such as a towel from a drawer in the kitchen, and small food items from inside the fridge.
- One of Henry's very first accomplishments was to manipulate the PR2 to scratch his own nose--the first time he had been able to do so in over a decade. Since then, Henry has not only used the PR2 to shave himself, but also tele-operated a PR2 located at Georgia Tech and shaved Prof. Kemp remotely.
The Robots for Humanity team at Willow Garage is led by Matei Ciocarlie and Kaijen Hsiao. Their approach is to research and develop a diverse suite of open source software tools that blend the capabilities of the user and the robot. This has resulted in what is, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of a mobile manipulation platform operated by a motor impaired person using only a head-tracker single-button mouse as an input device, and used for varied and unscripted manipulation tasks in a real home as well as limited forms of social interaction.
The goal of putting robots into real homes to help people with disabilities is a long-term vision for our project. By actively involving the users, Henry and Jane Evans, in our participatory design process, we have made tangible progress towards assistive capabilities that are both useful and usable. We also anticipate that by putting robots into the real homes of people with disabilities early and often, we can better direct our research to overcome the real-world obstacles to the use of mobile manipulators as an effective assistive technology.
Our future challenges include enabling Henry and Jane to use a PR2 in their home for longer durations, and evaluating our methods with other people with motor impairments.
Robots for Humanity is made up of the following individuals and institutions:
Henry and Jane Evans
Willow Garage, Menlo Park, CA:
Matei Ciocarlie, Kaijen Hsiao, Steve Cousins, Andreas Paepcke, Caroline Pantofaru, Leila Takayama
Healthcare Robotics Lab, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA:
Charlie Kemp, Tiffany Chen, Phillip Grice, Kelsey Hawkins, Advait Jain, Chih-Hung King, Hai Nguyen, Sarvagya "Survy" Vaish
Oregon State University, Corvallis, OR:

John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
Diners who wish to participate in what could be Europe's most surreal eating experience this year are out of luck. The "Muru Pops Down" pop-up restaurant, opening on September 10 inside a Finnish limestone mine, is totally booked.
So allow me to explain what all of us sad-sack foodies are missing. The night begins with a half-hour's drive out of Helsinki to Lohja, the "city of a thousand apple trees." Upon arrival, everybody climbs into a descending compartment on the world's largest elevator test tower, a stomach-churning plunge that can go 1090 feet into the bowels of the earth. But the evening's guests get out a little earlier, at about 262 feet deep, to enter the Tytyri Mine, a still-active excavation site that one tourist has described as "quite dark and cold."
A maître d' or perhaps a grizzled, tobacco-chewing miner (although probably not) leads the diners to their seats at a rustic wooden table shining with underground damp. Cocktails are served, and then waiters begin to bring out the first of four courses prepared by chefs at Restaurant Muru, a much-praised Helsinki bistro that for this subterranean meal has embraced the style of "mine canteen."
We're talking victuals like "smoked vendace from Kitka in lemon oil," "fennel risotto with escargot flambéed in Pernod" and, for dessert, "apple crumble, buckthorn and calvados soup." (Full menu plus photos below.) When stomachs are at their bursting point, everybody gets up and scuttles back into that test elevator for a look at some of the mine's deepest pits. Afterward they have the option of visiting the Tytyri Mine Museum, which holds machinery like drills and mine trucks and on the more esoteric end, "the dumper." (This thing? I dunno.)
While many surface dwellers might have no idea of the gustatory excesses occurring beneath their feet and tons and tons of rock, Helsinki's dining elite must certainly be on high alert for cancellations. The event ends on September 26. If you're in the vicinity of the mine and happen to snag one of these coveted seats, make you're prepared to cover the cost of the pop-down dinner: €128 ($160).
The menu is posted in English, but I prefer this funnier Finnish version:
Friction smoked whitefish with lemon oil
Caraway-flavored jääkellarinlohta and mustard akvaviittikastiketta
Crayfish and potato salad and pickling cucumber
Bresaola beef and mortadella, and sienipikkelssiä
Marinated bean and corn salad
Country bread, and top-artisokkalevitettä
Fenkolirisottoa and Pernod-flambé snails
Roasted veal tenderloin and herb broth simmered hanger steak bearnaise sauce
Omenacrumble, buckthorn calvados-soup

Russell Garcia, an arranger, composer and conductor who was an influential figure in the West Coast music scene during the 1950s and '60s and whose work in Hollywood included writing the score for the 1960 science-fiction classic "The Time Machine," has died. He was 95.
Garcia, who walked away from his career in Hollywood in the mid-'60s, died of cancer Sunday at his home in Kerikeri, New Zealand, said his wife, Gina.
During his eight-decade career in music, Garcia recorded more than 60 albums under his own name, including the otherworldly sounding "Fantastica: Music From Outer Space" and the avant-garde jazz album "Wigville" in the 1950s.
Garcia also arranged for artists such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Judy Garland, Stan Kenton, Julie London, Anita O'Day, Oscar Peterson, Mel Torme and Margaret Whiting.
That included arranging — and conducting — Armstrong and Fitzgerald's classic 1958 "Porgy & Bess" album.
Garcia also was known for his signature four-trombone band, which he used on recordings with singers such as O'Day, Frances Faye and, more recently, Shaynee Rainbolt.
Garcia, who orchestrated Charles Chaplin's 1952 film "Limelight," was under contract at Universal as an arranger, composer and conductor in the 1950s and early '60s.
His years at Universal included composing the theme and numerous scores for the 1960s NBC western "Laredo" and writing the score for the 1966 movie comedy "The Pad and How to Use It."
Garcia's "Fantastica" album caught the attention of director George Pal for whom he scored "The Time Machine" and "Atlantis, the Lost Continent" (1961).
A post-World War II stint teaching at the Westlake School of Music in Los Angeles led Garcia to write "The Professional Arranger Composer." The book has been translated into six languages and is still used in universities and music conservatories around the world. It was followed by "The Professional Arranger Composer Book II."
"While he was here and active, Garcia was very much admired for the breadth of his skills as an arranger and a composer and then became even more influential by virtue of these books," said music critic Don Heckman. "They continue to be basic handbooks for anyone who wants to understand the process of arranging and composing."
In 2005, the Los Angeles Jazz Institute honored Garcia for his more than 60 years of contributions to jazz.
One of five brothers, Garcia was born in Oakland on April 12, 1916.
Self-taught on a cornet bought by one of his brothers for $5, he began writing music when he was about 8 and was only 11 when the Oakland Symphony Orchestra performed his arrangement of "Stardust."
Garcia started a jazz band in junior high school and by high school was working five nights a week playing trumpet in a band that played in a San Francisco hotel.
After a year at what is now San Francisco State, he dropped out and went on the road with the band before moving to Hollywood in the late 1930s to study music and conducting.
He was a staff composer and arranger for NBC radio before serving in the Army infantry in Europe during World War II.
In 1966, Garcia and his wife sold their home in the Hollywood Hills and most of their possessions and set off on an around-the-world trip on a 41-foot trimaran.
But it wasn't just a pleasure cruise.
"We were members of the Bahai faith and we were going to be visiting the Bahai communities around the world and sharing it with anyone who would be interested," Gina Garcia said.
They had planned their trip to last for at least three years before returning to Hollywood. But, she said, they fell in love with New Zealand after arriving there in late 1971.
During his many years in New Zealand, Garcia continued to compose, arrange for various singers and conducted much of his original music with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
In 2009, Garcia and his wife were awarded the New Zealand Order of Merit from the Queen of England for their service to music.
"The Unquenchable Flame," an opera Garcia wrote in the mid-'90s with his wife, who wrote the libretto and lyrics, will have its world premiere in Auckland in July.
In addition to his wife of 59 years, Garcia is survived by a daughter, Judy Kulp; four grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren. His son, David, died in 2007.

Pools: Safe Fun or Long Term Hazard?
This week's question comes from Amy, who asks "I am a swim instructor and I'm curious what the long term effects of pool chlorine are."
Well Amy, this is a very interesting question that I am sure most people who use pools regularly don't consider. Before I get into the known effects, let's first go over what chemicals they use.
Pools, as most people know, are most often sanitized by chemicals that contain chlorine. The unique, familiar smell of a pool in the summer comes directly from this and chloramines, products of a reaction between the chlorine and some organic molecules. But most people outside of the pool maintenance industry (or a particularly active do-it-yourself-er) aren't aware of the variety of chemicals used to keep the pool clean and sanitary.
As far as I can find, most pools are sanitized by one of three salts: trichlor (sodium trichloroisocyanurate), dichlor (sodium dichloroisocyanurate), and cal-hypo (calcium hypochlorite). These salts are all used effectively as carriers for chlorine. Trichlor and dichlor react with water to release chlorine (Cl2) and cyanuric acid, which is the base chemical from which trichlor and dichlor are made. The cyanuric acid produced by this breakdown also protects the free chlorine from UV breakdown from sun exposure by weakly bonding to it. Unfortunately, this process also reduces the chlorine's effectiveness and thus cyanuric acid levels must be monitored to ensure they don't get too high. Trichlor and dichlor more slowly dissolve in water and are put in the floating canisters present in many home pools.
Cal-hypo is an older method of chlorination that is still used for both primary chlorination and for "shock" treatments that bring the chlorine levels up to required levels. It is less sophisticated than trichlor and dichlor and has no built in UV protection for the produced chlorine. This compound is used most often to "shock" pools with chlorine when they get too low because dichlor and trichlor dissolve too slowly.
On the whole, it appears that most professionally maintained outdoor pools one would encounter would more likely be primarily chlorinated with trichlor or dichlor. The choice between the three is not particularly important, but the attached sources should give a good idea if you're interested. Regardless of the choice, chlorine levels in the pool should remain above roughly 1.5-3.0 parts per million (ppm) in order to effectively sanitize. This is approximately the same level as chlorinated drinking water.
Insofar as it relates to health, these chemicals are a mixed bag.
- Cyanuric acid is considered non-toxic, with an LD50 of oral exposure of over 10,000mg/kg. LD50 is the dosage necessary to kill 50% (hence the 50 in LD50) 0f the subjects. Thus it would take over 10g per kg of weight to have a 50-50 chance of killing you; in other words, a standard 165lb (75kg) person would require a direct dose in excess of 750g or over 1.5lb. Longer exposure studies on rats show that it does not accumulate in the body and is effectively eliminated from the body within in a few hours. At the huge tested doses, far beyond the rate of any possible human pool exposure, the only reported complications were from cyanurate crystals forming in the bladder and causing an obstruction. There was no shown increase in cancer risk, birth defects, or organ damage.
- Dichlor and trichlor (collectively tested and referred to as chlorinated isocyanurates), because they release cyanuric acid and chlorine, have effectively the same toxicity profile as cyanuric acid in water. Because the chlorine level is very small relative to the amount of water, skin irritation is the only significantly reported complication of long term exposure. According to a German environmental protection agency study, the margin of exposure rating, which measures the overall toxicity rating regardless of route of exposure, for each is over 8. For reference, triclosan (the anti-bacterial agent in hand soap) is a 9.6, sodium hypochlorite is 0.040, and the toxic fixative (allows for long term storage of organic material, ie. formaldehyde) glutardialdehyde is 0.49. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude these chemicals are theoretically safe even at levels much higher than present in a pool.
- Hypochlorite salts (calcium, sodium, etc. hypochlorite) have a much different toxicity profile and thus present a much more risky exposure. As I mentioned above, the margin of exposure of sodium hypochlorite is over 200 times lower than the chlorinated isocyanurates and over 10 times lower than a toxic fixative. This means that they have a toxic exposure limit across all routes (ingestion, inhalation, and skin) that is much lower than even a toxic fixative. It is most dangerous through skin exposure, as it is corrosive and an irritant in higher concentrations. Luckily, these salts are used in very small amounts in pools, but it stands to reason that long term exposure to these compounds present a greater risk, especially to the skin, than with the chlorinated isocyanurates.
- It is also worth noting that the formation of chloramines by any of these compounds have been thought to contribute to respiratory irritation and asthma in swimmers. However, this effect is normally associated with indoor pools, especially ones with poor ventilation.
In sum, it is clear that the use of chlorinated isocyanurates presents a much safer method of pool sanitation. Experimental evidence of minimal long term toxicity from doses much larger than would ever be found in a pool certainly supports this conclusion. It seems, then, that a properly treated and professionally maintained pool should not present a long term health hazard for those who use it, even those who do every day for multiple hours a day. If any, the greatest known risks are of skin irritation and, in the case of indoor pools, respiratory tract irritation.
Hope this helps, Amy! As always, feel free to submit your questions at the link above.

UCM Professor Discovers World's Largest Known Prime Number
Curtis Cooper, professor of computer science at the University of Central Missouri, has made the most recent discovery of the world's largest known prime number, according to information released by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Number Search, also known as GIMPS.
The new number, 2 multiplied by itself 57,885, 161 times, minus 1, has 17,425,170 digits. The discovery was made by one of the more than 1,000 computers running for 39 days across the UCM campus. The actual prime number was found by Computer #22 in a computer lab in Wood 210 on the UCM campus at 11:30 p.m. Jan. 25. Following an extensive verification process completed by GIMPS, the newest known prime number was announced Feb. 5. The discovery is eligible for a $3,000 GIMPS research discovery award.
This is the third discovery for Cooper and UCM in the ongoing search for the largest prime number. Cooper and UCM colleague Steven Boone, professor of chemistry, announced their first discovery in 2005, followed by a second in 2006. The University of California-Los Angeles made the next discovery in 2008, followed by UCM's most recent discovery.
"There are a lot of people on campus to thank," Curtis said. "I've had great support from my department and my department chair, Xiadong Yue, and Dean Alice Greife of the College of Health, Science, and Technology, as well as the technical support from Technology Services and technology coordinators from departments and colleges across the campus. That support is what allowed us to use more than 1,000 computers to make the discovery possible."
The new prime number is in a special class of extremely rare prime numbers known as Mersenne primes. It is only the 48th known Mersenne prime ever discovered, with each discovery become more difficult to find than the previous one. GIMPS has discovered the last 14 Meresenne primes.
GIMPS was formed in 1996 by George Woltman to discover the new world-record size Mersenne prime numbers. In 1997 Scott Kurowski enabled GIMPS to harness the power of hundreds of thousands of ordinary computers to complete the extraordinary search. Woltman developed the software that allows the massive network of computers to make the search and automatically report findings to GIMPS.
"When we first started working with the project in 1997, we had four computers on campus that we had to monitor individually, and we had to report our findings to GIMPS by email," Cooper said. "Current technology allows us to undertake the search, and because the numbers are becoming larger with each discovery, it is anticipated that future discoveries will take longer."

A Super Bowl advertisement is the most expensive ad in television, and with the game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots expected to be the most-watched event of the year, the 2012 edition may provide more than the usual bang for the buck.
After all, it's a unique opportunity for advertisers because Super Bowl ads have essentially become in-game content for fans watching at home.
This year's ads on NBC's broadcast cost $3.5 million on average for every 30 seconds. Which advertisers are willing to spend that kind of money year after year? More than a few. Here are the top 10 Super-Bowl advertisers, ranked by total ad dollars spent in the past 10 years (2002-2011), according to media valuation firm Kantar Media.

Suit filed in child's 2012 death fall
STAMFORD -- A wrongful death suit filed at state Superior Court in Stamford on behalf of an 8-year-old boy who was killed after he fell out of a sixth-story window at the Rippowam Manor senior housing complex in June 2012, charges the city housing authority and the complex with negligence and carelessness.
The suit, filed by Greenwich attorneys Michael Jones and Mark Schnitzler, who are representing the boy's father, Zhongxin Jason, of New Providence, N.J., says the common hallway outside Wu's mother's apartment at Rippowam Manor should have been kept in a reasonably safe condition through installing safety measures on the screened windows.
Alexander Wu, 8, and his sister, Janie Wu, were playing in the hallway outside their grandmother's apartment at 11 North St. when he pushed through a screen on an open window and fell through, witnesses told police at the time.
The boy landed on an outdoor terrace six stories below. He was taken to Stamford Hospital, where he died from wounds suffered in the fall.
According to the civil suit filed in February, Wu suffered from a "severe crushing" head injury, profound shock and multiple organ failures.
"From all of the aforesaid injuries, Alex suffered great physical pain and mental anguish and died shortly after his fall on June 16, 2012," the suit said. "As a direct and proximate result of the carelessness and negligence of the defendants, the capacity of Alex to continue his education, to engage in an occupation, to earn wages and to enjoy and carry out all of life's activities, including having a family of his own was permanently destroyed."
The suit states that at 7:26 p.m., the boy contacted the interior window screen, which caused it to break away; the screen was found lying next to Alex on the concrete patio six stories below.
The city housing authority, Charter Oak Communities, or those running Rippowam Manor, knew or should have known about the condition, but disregarded the risks posed to the public, the suit claims.
The suit seeks more than $15,000 in damages.
In reply to the complaint, city Deputy Corporation Counsel Vikki Cooper asked Wu's attorneys to revise the complaint in order to separate the causes of action against each individual defendant allegedly employed by the city.
"The plaintiffs' allegations directed to the distinct entities should be separated into individual counts. The plaintiffs' compliance with this request is necessary in order for the city of Stamford to properly plead to the claim and defend against this action," Cooper said in the request.
Cooper did not immediately return a call for comment about the suit.
If the sides are not able to come to a settlement, a trial in the case is not likely to begin until after summer 2014, according to a scheduling document contained in the court file.

- London Olympics 2012
Olympic bottle thrower found guilty
The man who threw a plastic beer bottle on to the track at the start of the men's 100m final at the London 2012 Olympics has been found guilty of public disorder.
Ashley Gill-Webb, 34, who was arrested at the Olympic Stadium on August 5 last year after shouting abuse at athletes including Usain Bolt, was found guilty of two public order offences at Stratford Magistrates' Court.
His lawyers said he was suffering from a "manic episode" at the time, but Gill-Webb, who has bipolar affective disorder, was found guilty of intending to cause the finalists harassment, alarm or distress by using threating, abusive or disorderly behaviour. Gill-Webb had denied the offences but his DNA was later found on the bottle.
District Judge William Ashworth granted Gill-Webb conditional bail until the sentencing and said he would limit the maximum sentence to a community-based penalty.
He said: "The video, in my view, quite clearly shows Mr Gill-Webb checking to see if he is under observation before taking the risk of throwing the bottle. I am sure that he was at that point weighing up the chances of being caught. I am sure, therefore, that he was at that point acting rationally and wrongly."

Fika Choklad Invites you to Indulge in the Seven Deadly Sins this Halloween
Fika is a Swedish verb which translates to "take a coffee break," usually accompanied by something sweet and delicious. While most Americans take their coffee to go, fika is an important daily ritual for Swedes who like to take a moment to indulge in conversations with friends and colleagues. It's not surprising that Swedes are among the heaviest consumers of coffee in the world.
This coffee-centric lifestyle was the inspiration for Swedish transplants and friends Lars Akerlund and David Johansson, who in 2006 opened their first Fika espresso bar, located next door to the Plaza Hotel in New York. They source Arabica beans, which are flown in every three weeks directly from Löfbergs Lila, a century-old roaster in Karlstad, Sweden.
To go with that coffee, Fika introduces Fika Choklad, the first line of hand rolled truffles, pralines and chocolate bars created exclusively by Håkan Mårtensson, executive pastry chef and chocolatier. He makes each of his creations (ranging in price from $1.50 to $2 per piece) with milk and dark chocolate from Callebaut and Valrhona, and uses fresh ingredients such as lingonberries, raspberries, passion fruit, hazelnut, Tahitian vanilla, espresso, ginger bread spices and various liqueurs.
This All Hallows' Eve, don't expect absolution from Fika Choklad's limited edition Seven Deadly Sins, a set of eight truffles crafted to capture the essence of the most objectionable vices. They include: Lust (red) -- passion fruit and chili fondant; Gluttony (purple) -- butter truffle, Frangelico and pine nuts; Pride (wood/brown) -- almond gianduja and sea salt; Greed (gold) -- champagne and strawberry; Sloth (white) -- vanilla truffle; Wrath (black) -- licorice, raspberry and black pepper; and Envy (green) -- cactus and lime. I'm sure you are envious now.
Retail price is $15 a set.

Roasted Apricot and Almond Ice Cream Recipe
I scream, you scream, we all scream for...
The perfect thing to do with less than perfect apricots. The ice cream gets a double dose of almonds: some chopped up into the final scoop, but also some steeped into cream, which adds a deep, nutty flavor to the base.
- Yield:makes 1 quart
- Active time: 1 hour
- Total time:5 hours
- 4 ounces roasted, unsalted almonds, divided
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 pounds (whole) apricots, halved and stoned
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, to taste
Toast 2 ounces almonds in a microwave or a dry saucepan over high heat until they darken slightly and begin to smell nutty, about 1 minute, then finely chop and set aside. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat, bring cream to a simmer, then remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 1 to 2 hours.
When cream is about 45 minutes away from done, heat oven to 450°F with an oven rack in the middle position. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange apricots in a single layer, cut side facing up. Roast until apricots are completely soft and begin to caramelize around the edges, about 20 minutes. Check on apricots frequently after the first 15 minutes to make sure they don't burn. Let apricots cool for 10 minutes before handling.
Pour steeped cream through a fine mesh strainer to strain out and discard almonds. Transfer apricots to blender or food processor and top with strained cream and sugar, then purée on high speed until well combined, about 30 seconds. Strain mixture into a lidded container and stir in salt to taste. Chill in refrigerator until very cold, about 3 hours.
Toast remaining 2 ounces almonds in a microwave or a dry saucepan over high heat until they darken slightly and begin to smell nutty, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and chop. A mix of sizes is ideal: small crumbs and pea-sized chunks. Set aside in freezer while ice cream churns.
Churn chilled ice cream base according to manufacturer's instructions. In last minute of churning, add frozen chopped almonds. Transfer ice cream to airtight container and chill in freezer for at least 3 to 4 hours before serving.

Checking in on… Conference USAPosted by rtmsf on November 23rd, 2008
Allen R is the RTC correspondent for Conference USA.
The first week or so of Conference USA basketball is in the books and really you can't tell too much from these contests.
My biggest complaint is that teams like Central Florida, Marshall, East Carolina and Southern Miss scheduled Division II and NAIA teams to start out the season. I realize that many schools struggle to find quality non-conference opponents, but there are over 300 Division I teams out there that could be potentially scheduled. In a conference desperate for an RPI boost, this does very little good.
Okay, the rant is now finished. Here are the very early storylines in the conference so far.
- Reload Time. With the loss of leaders such as Chris Douglas-Roberts, Joey Dorsey and Derrick Rose it isn't surprising that the Memphis Tigers have looked a tad bit mortal early on in the season. During a nationally televised match-up against UMass, the Tigers struggled mightily to score any points at the outset. Clearly they are not as crisp as they were a year ago and the roles aren't as clearly defined. In the second half of the UMass game however, Tyreke Evans showed why he was a top prep recruit and got the Tiger 'dribble drive' offense going en route to an 80-58 victory. While this may be the best chance for a Conference USA team to knock off the Tigers, they will only get better as the year grows on.
- Blazing Arizona. The current Arizona Wildcat squad would not be confused with some of the great groups to come out of Tucson in the past few decades. Longtime head coach Lute Olson stepped down just before the start of the season, while recruits and players bailed left and right from the program. But that shouldn't take away from the UAB Blazers' impressive 72-71 road win over the Wildcats in the pre-season NIT. Coach Mike Davis has a deep, senior-laden team that has proven itself capable of dealing with challenges early in the season. Keep an eye on the health of point guard Paul Delaney III. He missed all of last season with an ACL tear and the Blazers' success is quite contingent on him staying healthy this year.
- First Impressions. At least a few freshmen from Conference USA teams look like they'll be major impact players on their respective teams. Obviously Tyreke Evans on Memphis has superstar written all over him and has broken into the lineup from day one averaging 15.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Along with Evans, Tiger freshman Wesley Witherspoon has received a good chunk of minutes early on. Houston point guard Desmond Wade has also worked his way into the lineup from the first day, all the while showcasing a selfless attitude and hard-nosed defensive play (he's averaged 6 assists and 2 steals per game). Junior college transfer Aubrey Coleman has also played well for Houston early, averaging 16.8 points and earning CUSA newcomer of the week honors along with Tyreke Evans in week one. On a team full of newcomers UCF's Dave Diakite has stood out early on and will pose some matchup problems down the road with his combination of size and scoring ability. Another team featuring a lot of new faces is the Marshall Thundering Herd, who have 8 new players on the court (including 3 transfers and Marcus Goode, who sat out the 2007-08 season due to academics). Out of that group, Shaquille Johnson and Chris Lutz have both broken into the Herd starting lineup to start the year. Expect Lutz, a Purdue transfer, to light up the scoreboards all season.
- Dancing With Experienced Partners. On the opening weekend of college basketball, both Houston and Tulsa chalked up victories against teams that went to the NCAA tournament last season. One of last year's biggest Cinderella stories: the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers were defeated by Houston 73-64. In their home opener the Cougars trailed 37-27 at the half, but relied on a stingy defense and an aggressive offense led by Aubrey Coleman (19 points, 6 rebounds) to pull it out. Tulsa hosted Oral Roberts in what has become an interesting regional rivalry game. It was a fairly ugly and disjointed game, but the Golden Hurricane pulled out a 50-43 victory, led by 20 points from point guard Ben Uzoh.
- House of Tudor. They may be a few years from being an upper-echelon CUSA team and have no basketball history to speak of, but the Rice Owls finally have a real basketball facility to play in. Previously the Owls played in Autry Court, a tiny and decrepit facility that seriously hampered any recruiting efforts. Prompted by a large donation from former Owl player and Goldman Sachs executive Bobby Tudor, the university began a major renovation of Autry Court that spanned all of last season. Now with new coach Ben Braun the Owls are looking to build a winning tradition in this new arena. For the record the Owls are 0-1 so far this year, with a 78-74 loss to defending Big Sky champion Portland State.
- Not Cowboying Up. In one of the games I highlighted as an important non-conference contest for Conference USA, the Oklahoma State Cowboys dismantled Tulsa 91-73 in Stillwater. The Cowboys and their new up-tempo offense under coach Travis Ford made quick work of the Golden Hurricane in the first half. Led by Byron Eaton the Cowboys built a 54-28 first half lead and coasted from there on out. The lone bright spot for the Golden Hurricane would probably be another 20-point performance from Ben Uzoh.

I think of these more as meltproof/sweatproof products than pure waterproof products, since I am not that much of a pool going gal, as my pale skin can attest. So, I decided to give you guys my quick and dirty look for the summer, and it will even work at the pool, if you are in to that kind of thing.
Now, I don't include any face products, because, well, none of those are waterproof & they are just going to sweat off of me no matter what I do, so I barely even try during the warm months. 110deg Oklahoma Summer will do that to a gal.
I always tend to keep my eyes fixed, and these items keep them ready, no matter the moistness:
Mally Beauty Waterproof Volumizing Mascara: If you guys remember, this was one of my "Desert Island" staples, so, if it is good enough for the island, it's good enough for hanging out by the pool. (*If you are looking for a drugstore WP mascara, you might also remember that I've hung out at the pool in some Covergirl LashBlast 24 Hour Mascara, too.)
Maybelline Color Tattoo Gel Shadow: I know I have told you about these over and over and over again, but they really are a great waterproof shadow option, especially for a drugstore brand – the variety of colors are amazing, but I generally keep a neutralish color around so I can play with brighter eyeliner.
Pixi Beauty Endless Silky Eye Pen: These eyeliners are ridiculously great for my eyes. They glide on almost as easy as liquid liner, but with a pencil width and wear. And, their waterproof claim is no joke. I have got an eye that continues to water like a weeping statue, whether from allergies or just to annoy the hell out of me (*which it does). These pencils have become my go-to liner that stands up to my constant wiping, without staining my eyelid, nor fading away after first wipe and comes in a bunch of different, vibrant colors.
As for my lips, we know that we can't keep gloss or lipstick on for very long, and we need to reapply sunscreen lip products, esp hanging out by the pool/lake/ocean. The one thing I have found that keeps color on my lips and holds up to reapplication of lip wax is a lip stain:
Covergirl Outlast Lipstain: This drugstore goodie is water-based so you won't dry out your lips and still keep color on your lips while playing in the water. (*Fun fact: I use this to draw on my kids' face for Spirit Days at school – it wears off overnight and lasts thru sweaty pep rallies!)
So, these are the things that pretty much get me thru an Oklahoma summer. What are some of your favorite waterproof/meltproof/sweatproof products?
And, after you tell me that, go check out what these other lovelies have picked as their waterproof faves:

Nickelback Stream Entire 'Here and Now' Album, Confirmed for NFL Halftime Show
Nickelback is set to release their new album 'Here and Now' on Nov. 21, but fans hoping to hear it a little bit sooner can now head over to iTunes at the link below, where the full album is streaming for free all week!
Two singles from 'Here and Now' have already been released, 'When We Stand Together' and 'Bottoms Up.' Read our review of Nickelback's modern day drinking tune 'Bottoms Up' here.
Nickelback will also be taking part in the 2011 United Way Thanksgiving Halftime show when the Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers, much to the dismay of some disgruntled Lions fans who petitioned to have them removed from the program.
In fact, Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger is excited about the opportunity, saying, "We always love playing in Detroit." He continued, "Our fans there have been tremendously supportive to us through the years and we can't wait to come back and celebrate an exciting day for the Lions and the city of Detroit."
With the upcoming release of 'Here and Now,' the band has vowed to kick off a world tour in early 2012, so stay tuned for details.

Conduct Questions and Answers
What is the Student Conduct Process?
The Student Conduct process, coordinated through the Office of Student Development, deals with violations of the Standards of Conduct. We respond to possible violations reported by the Department of Public Safety, the Office of Residence Life, students, faculty and other members of the Marquette University and Milwaukee communities.
The process is very much a reflection of the educational mission of the university, dedicated to the formation of ethical and informed leaders. Our primary goal is to help form students of character and integrity, able to understand the consequences of their behavior for themselves and others.
When an Incident Report is received in the Office of Student Development, it is reviewed for possible violations of the Standards of Conduct. In cases where it appears violation(s) may have occurred, the students involved will be sent a notification letter, delineating specific charge(s). Each charge is related to a particular Standard of Conduct. The notification letter will also stipulate a date, time and location for a Student Conduct Hearing to clarify the situation.
Doesn't this "charge" mean that you've already found me guilty?
No. The notification refers to the incident as an "alleged violation of the Standards of Conduct." The purpose of the hearing is to clarify the situation: to allow each member of the community to share his/her own version of the incident(s). After a hearing, if students are not found responsible for a violation of the Standards of Conduct, the file is deleted from their records.
Also, as an educational system, we strive to determine one's responsibility for actions and choices—not guilt or innocence.
What are my rights?
The student rights are located in full in the Student Handbook. In sum, they are: 1) to be present throughout the hearing, but not during the deliberation of the Student Conduct Administrator or Student Conduct Review Board; 2) to remain silent (i.e., not to testify against yourself); 3) to object to a member of a Student Conduct Review Board for reasons of official or personal conflict of interest; 4) to know all evidence and testimony presented and to view pertinent materials supporting the case; 5) to present evidence and the testimony of witnesses to substantiate your case and to comment upon and respond to the charges; 6) to make a written appeal of the disciplinary decision.
With whom am I meeting?
Your notification letter indicates that you will have a Student Conduct Review Board hearing. Your hearing will be with a board of your peers. The student conduct boards consist of between five and eight students, with a student chair and an administrative advisor. As noted in your rights, if there is a conflict of interest between you and a Board member, you may object to that person.
What happens at the hearing?
All student conduct hearings are tape-recorded, to maintain an accurate record of the proceedings. After turning on the recorder, the Board members will introduce themselves and briefly review process. They will explain your rights in the process, as well as what you have been charged with, and ask you to sign a document indicating you understand your rights. The incident report and any other supporting documents or statements will then be read. Then it is your opportunity to tell us what happened: If you have any witnesses, you may bring them in and let them speak with us. We may present witnesses as well. After all the information on the case has been reviewed, including the written documents and everything that has been said, you will be given the opportunity to tell us anything else we need to know before making a decision. The timeline for the decision and appeals process will then be explained to you and you may leave. You will be informed of the outcome of the hearing in writing.
How is a decision made about whether or not I am responsible?
We consider all the testimony presented at the hearing (the incident report, your statements, statements of witnesses) and then look at each charge individually. A student is found responsible for violating policies if he or she admits it or the evidence indicates that a person is responsible. A Student Conduct Hearing is an educational meeting—not a legal proceeding: when evidence is considered, it is not for purposes of making a decision "beyond a reasonable doubt." The standard of evidence used at Marquette, and at most other colleges and universities, is a "preponderance of evidence." This standard of evidence essentially asks "Is it more likely than not that a policy was violated?"
How will I be punished?
The Student Conduct Process is an educational process: as such, we do not operate from a "punishment perspective." In cases where a student is found responsible for a violation of the Standards of Conduct, we assign educational outcomes. There are no standard outcomes for violations of the Standards of Conduct. Infractions have led to actions ranging from positive actions and university warnings to expulsion. Even in the most challenging situations, however, the university seeks first and foremost to educate its students and make decisions regarding disciplinary actions from an educational perspective. Decisions regarding educational outcomes take the following factors into account:
- the nature and gravity of the incident (what you did)
- the motivation underlying the behavior (why you chose to do what you did)
- your disciplinary history (what you have done before)
- precedent in similar cases
- the developmental and educational impact of this incident and any hoped for lessons from an assigned outcome (what you can learn from this situation to positively impact your future choices and the Marquette community).
If the violation also involves an alleged crime, can I be prosecuted criminally & also be addressed through the Student Conduct Process?
Yes. The Marquette University Student Conduct process is separate from the legal system and has different goals and outcomes. Without your permission or a court order, we generally cannot inform external agencies of the outcome of our process and our decisions are not influenced by any civil or criminal proceeding.
What if I did not do anything wrong?
The hearing provides you with the opportunity to explain the situation from your perspective. If you did not do anything wrong, simply tell the truth. The Board will listen to your testimony, ask questions, consider all the information and make a decision. After a full and fair hearing, we believe those responsible will make the correct decision and find the truth.
Is it just my word against someone else's?
Where possible, we try to gather additional information (witness statements, physical evidence) to avoid the possible contentiousness of two students simply "squaring off." Likewise, you have the opportunity to provide witness statements or other information. Again, in making a decision, the guideline used is a "preponderance of the evidence."
What if I did do it?
While it may not be the easiest thing to do, the Student Conduct process offers you the opportunity to admit you made a mistake and take responsibility for your decisions and behavior. Experience has shown that most students have the courage to admit their mistakes and are committed to learning from poor decisions. We are committed to helping students explore their decisions and consider how they reflect their own values and the persons they hope to become. The Conduct Boards are committed to the education and integrity of each student we work with in the Conduct process: this commitment begins with accepting each student where he or she is and respecting their struggles as they mature.
Admitting a violation will ruin my life! Will this violation be on my transcripts and keep me from going to graduate or professional school or getting a good job?
First of all, a single violation will not ruin your life. As an educational institution, a primary goal of the Conduct process is to help students learn from their mistakes. Student conduct records are considered part of your educational record at Marquette and in general cannot be released to others without your consent. In all but the most serious cases, a student conduct record will not prevent your being accepted into graduate or professional school or bar you from employment.
Will my parents find out?
If your parents claim you as a dependent, they will be informed of the results of a student conduct hearing in the following situations: students who are placed on Residence Life or University Probation, and students who are suspended and expelled from the university. Additionally, if you are found responsible for serious or repeated violations of the university Alcohol and Drug Policies, your parents will be informed. In all cases, we are informing your parents in order to enlist their support in our joint educational mission—not to "get you in more trouble."
I didn't know my actions were a violation of university policy-I didn't mean to do anything wrong! How can you charge me for that?
Every student at Marquette is responsible for knowing the Standards of Conduct: ignorance is not an excuse. The Standards of Conduct are fully delineated in the Student Handbook, At Marquette; rules pertaining specifically to residence halls and university-owned apartments are in Living at Marquette.
Can someone come with me to the hearing?
Most students do not choose to bring someone with them to the hearing, but if you wish to have an advisor present, you must notify the Student Conduct Board chair in writing at least two working days before the hearing. An advisor may be a friend or family member, an RA, faculty or staff member. The advisor serves as a support person and is intended to be of assistance to you before and during the hearing. The advisor may not speak for you nor address the Conduct Board.
Can I talk to the person who made the complaint or wrote up the incident report about me?
This depends on the nature of the incident. In some instances, you will be specifically directed to avoid contact with another person. Some hearings will afford you the chance to talk to the person and some will not. In any situation, you may want to be careful about your interactions with the person who may have made the complaint or written up the report: your contact may be interpreted as a threat or as interference with the Student Conduct process.
Can I be kicked out of school?
Yes, however, suspension (temporary removal) and expulsion (permanent removal) are reserved for the most serious violations. Such cases are generally heard by Student Conduct Administrators, not Conduct Boards. When behavior is harmful to a member of the university community, severely interrupts the educational process or repeats past violations, suspension or expulsion may be a necessary outcome.
How about just not showing up for the hearing?
Even if you aren't there, a decision regarding your responsibility will be made based on the incident report and witness testimony (where pertinent). Actions can also be assigned in your absence. It is in your best interest to participate in the hearing.
What if I don't like the decision?
You have the right to appeal the decision, using an appeal form available in the Office of Student Development. The appeal is written—it is not a re-hearing.
There are three grounds for appeal:
- There was a denial of a fair hearing.
- There was insufficient evidence to establish responsibility.
- There is new information available that was not available at the time of the hearing which effects the disciplinary decision.
What happens if I don't complete the assigned outcomes?
If you don't file an appeal, it is assumed that you accept the decision: you are responsible for completing the action(s) assigned. If you do not, you will be subject to additional charges and additional outcomes.

Israel Idonije's departure to Detroit leaves just four unsigned members of PFT's Free Agent Hot 100:
Defensive lineman Richard Seymour (No. 42).
Defensive end John Abraham (No. 43).
Linebacker Nick Barnett (No. 89).
Offensive guard Brandon Moore (No. 97).
Seymour, as we noted earlier Tuesday, told SiriusXM NFL Radio there's no new news on whether he will land with the Falcons. He's spent the last four seasons in Oakland, which is rebuilding.
Abraham, whom the Falcons released in March, remains an above-average pass rusher. Barnett (112 tackles in 2012 for Buffalo) has the ability to play in 3-4 and 4-3 schemes. Moore, the long-time Jets lineman, graded out fourth-best among offensive guards in Pro Football Focus' 2012 rankings.
Combined, these four players have combined to start 598 regular-season games.
So yes, there are some proven veterans still on the market. But there's one less of them with the versatile Idonije joining the Lions.
