Welcome Back, Loyal Vidshow-watching Citizens! And now the Conclusion.
Episode 4: Debriefing
Turn 135: That's All Folks!
The troubleshooters once again speak silently in their soundproof tubes during a commercial break. Bill-B listens to each one gravely. Then the break ends and Bill-B reanimates.
"Welcome back, loyal citizens! Let's see what these troubleshooters have to say for themselves! First, let's hear from Howard-R!"
"Even though I don't know exactly what knowledge is available at Orange clearance I do know that it is only slightly above mine. Knowing that a certain bot has good ocular sensitivity, whatever that means, might be known at that clearance level but I strongly doubted the technical details would be available to a clearance barely better then ours. I have been proved incorrect about that assumption which I have to apologize for. However it was the best guess I could make at the time."
"Apology accepted, citizen. However, I think a refresher course in telling the difference between a loyal botspotter and a treasonous member of Corpore Metal is in order. Fortunately, that course is INFRARED clearance, since that is the clearance you will be until such time as you show yourself to be worthy of once again wearing RED. And now, B'bye! Now… let's hear from Aken-R…"
Howard disappears through a hole in the floor as Aken-R's voice begins to speak, "I have no problem with a demotion in clearance, if that is what Friend Computer decides. I believe that any clone with who wants to can work his way up by hard work and dedication. I do have a problem with the mutant registration I have here. I am not a mutant. I have a party trick: I'm pretty good at talking without moving my lips. That's not the same as the ability to eat stuff that was not meant to be eaten, or other unnatural traits. A blue clearance need only be temporary, but a yellow stripe is forever, and I don't think I deserve it!"
"Of course, citizen! A party trick was able to project your voice through your soundproof tube. Now I'd suggest filling out that paperwork before we decide to have your next clone be properly registered instead, after extensive medical tests, of course. And also, since you seem to be having trouble telling the difference between clearances, as evidenced by your previous clone telling me, a BLUE clearance citizen as well as your direct superior, to 'Bug Off', and your current assertion that BLUE clearance need only be temporary, as if being made BLUE clearance would be below your current clearance and just something to be tolerated instead of celebrated, I think we also need to promote you all the way to INFRARED and see to it that you're properly re-educated on Alpha Complex's wonderful clearance system. So, b'bye! Have a happy day! And now, Phil-R."
Aken disappears through a hole in the floor as Mr. Sock's high-pitched voice comes through the speakers, "Well yes, of course I fully intended to reveal my mutant abilities that I just discovered in myself moments after this tube went down over me. I realized it was my solemn duty to Friend Computer to do so and to help Friend Computer root out the other mutants in the team while doing so. As to Isaac-O, well it is clear that the rest of the team unanimously agrees with my estimation and therefore I believe Friend Computer will be pleased with us all for rooting out such a subversive individual."
"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sure you only just now discovered it. Blah Blah Blah… Whatever… We've all seen the security footage. Well, all that aside, I'm afraid you still did not answer the concerns that I put to you. To wit, backing up your serious accusations against a higher clearance citizen, and revealing this so-called 'primary traitor' you mentioned before. Perhaps some time back as an INFRARED will teach you to listen to what you're being told and to actually have evidence when you make accusations. Oh, and I think a good brainscrub might be in order to get rid of that annoying sock puppet. Goodbye, Phil-R and Mr. Sock. And now Isaac-O."
Phil falls away into the now-open floor below him as Isaac-O's voice fills the room, "It shouldn't surprise anyone that as the only innocent clone in the team all the Frankie sympathizers are trying to pin something on me. The main culprit was Quentin-R but his complete failure to take any action points the finger of blame most steadily to Dean-O, as his most active accomplice. From their own statements continued allegence to the Frankie's is evidence against all the five others present. Armed with this information a team that isn't so completely compromised by Frankies should be able to discover the actual specific details of the treason. Provided they, like I, maintain a proper emphasis on good hygiene."
"So… Just because the rest of the team thinks that you are a member, or at least a sympathizer, of Corpore Metal, you think that is proof that they are all Frankenstein Destroyers. Right… while I agree that you are all incompetent bunglers, there is no evidence to suggest that they all are Frankenstein Destroyers. Also, while our investigation into Quentin-R did reveal that he was a member of the Frankenstein Destroyers, it also revealed equally compelling evidence that he was a PURGE terrorist, and a Free Enterprise member, and an unregistered pyrokinetic. However, there has been no indication that he was involved in the murders which your team was assigned to solve. Incidentally, Quentin-R escaped during interrogation, but was quickly caught by a competent troubleshooter team, and he has since been terminated and his clone template erased. But I digress. You, Isaac-R will now be sent to your very own training course in what constitutes proper evidence. If you do well, you might be allowed on the next troubleshooter team to be sent on this mission. And so, say goodbye, Isaac-R. And finally, our team leader, Dean-O."
Isaac-R falls down his shaft with a silent scream of frustrated rage as Dean-O's voice projects into the room, "With respect, sir, 'towards the end' I was under Friend Computer's personal orders not to delay the mission for anything that could be dealt with during debriefing. Furthermore, I doubt very much that any leader below say INDIGO, with the possible exception of Teela-O-MLY, could have overcome these clones' natural incompetence."
"So… You're going to blame Friend Computer for your inability to control your team, huh? Still… your assessment of your teammates is basically correct, and you did seem to show a certain amount of competence before you just seemed to give up, so we're going to give you another chance. You, Dean-R, will undergo a short leadership training class, as well as a little re-education pertaining to why Friend Computer is always right, and then you will be assigned to the next troubleshooter team for this mission, though not necessarily as team leader this time. But for now… B'bye!"
Dean-O goes the way of his teammates. The room stands empty, except for Bill-B, who faces the camera and grins.
"So there you have it, folks. A perfect example of what not to do while on a troubleshooter mission. But not to worry, loyal viewers, we've not given up on finding the dastardly treasonous culprits. Tune in next season when we'll bring in a competent group of troubleshooters, who will most certainly solve…The Bot Murders!! And remember, citizens…."
The fanfare comes to a crescendo, and recorded audience voices join in with Bill-B as he says, "STAY ALERT! TRUST NO ONE!! KEEP YOUR LASER HANDY!!! Thank you, citizens, and good night!"
Fade to black.

We are spiritual and religious. We believe in forgiveness, in reconciliation, in new beginnings, and in growth not only spiritually but as human beings. We are indeed a community of faith that is called and sent, and we take special pride in embracing, valuing, and nurturing each individual.
"For to this end we toil and struggle, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe." - 1 Timothy 4:10 (NRSV)
Start Here
A community in Christ: traditional and progressive. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome at this table.
"For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. Like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." - Romans 12:4-5 & 1 Peter 2:5 (NRSV)
"Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come into his presence with singing. Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name." - Psalm 100:1-4 (NRSV)
"My idea is that need, poverty, sickness, and affliction are God's pointings..." - The Rev. Dr. George Washington Dame
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect." - Romans 12:1-2 (NRSV)

I am not sure what I think of it yet but I am trying further integration of The Gnome's Garden website with Facebook and The Gnome's Garden Facebook page. For start, it should post at least a preview of my posts made here onto Facebook. It does allow me to have things like a "Like" button and a "Share" button… but I do already have a Share button for Facebook as well as G+ and a few others… However we shall see how useful this is… might be more nuisance than it is useful… It was a nuisance setting up on Facebook applications… well learning new skills…
I'm also not sure why WordPress is showing such a huge version of the featured image when I chose to show a thumbnail… It looks nice, but… Oh well, at least the flowers are pretty.
We shall have to see if I keep the Facebook integration or not. for now… it is a toy to be played with… Perhaps I am just in the wrong mood to be adding such things.
See ya later!

Paul Merson's Premier League predictions - Week 12
Soccer Saturday pundit tips defeat for Tottenham, Southampton, Sunderland and Norwich
By Paul Merson
Last Updated: 22/11/13 7:18am
Cardiff are playing Manchester United at the right time. Everybody has just come back from the international break and there are questions over the fitness of Danny Welbeck, Michael Carrick, Jonny Evans and a few others. And remember, Manchester United will have one eye on a Champions League game they need to win against Bayer Leverkusen in midweek, so this is a good time to play them.
I don't think David Moyes can afford to rest any of his players. I reckon Man City, Arsenal and Chelsea will all win this weekend and if Manchester United drop points then they will slip further back in the title race and all the good work they did by beating Arsenal two weeks ago will go out the window. This will be a difficult game for them, but I think they will win it. The Cardiff City Stadium isn't the hardest place to go - I saw Tottenham go there the other week and they could have scored 100 - and Cardiff haven't looked good in some games, especially away from home. It all depends how long they can hold out.
Man City v Tottenham (12.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1)
Even though Tottenham lost to Newcastle, I think they could take a lot of positives from the game. They looked like scoring a lot of goals in the second half and they attacked with more pace and fluency than they have all season. It's the best I've seen them and they only lost because Tim Krul had an outstanding game. However, they'd have expected nine points from their last three home games and they walked away with three - which was a dodgy penalty against Hull. Overall their build-up play has been too slow this season and Andre Villas-Boas seems to set his teams up to avoid defeat, rather than going out to win.
Manchester City are a real force at home and the way they move the ball is something to behold. With no Vincent Kompany in the team then Tottenham have a chance to expose them, but it all depends on how much of the ball they get. I just think City will dominate them in that department. This is a big game and one which Tottenham need to try to make sure they don't lose - but I think they will.
West Brom v Aston Villa (7pm, Mon, Sky Sports 1)
The result of this game pretty much depends on whether or not Christian Benteke is fit. If he's on form then I would fancy Villa to beat anybody away from home. Their home form isn't the best, but when you've got Gabriel Agbonlahor and Andreas Weimann up front with Benteke then the combination of strength and pace is a match for anybody. But if Benteke isn't fit then I can't see how they'll beat West Brom. Libor Kozak would probably come into the side and he offers plenty in the air, but he's not a goalscorer like Benteke - and the other forwards are the same. He's so important to their counter-attacking game.
As for West Brom, a lot of people thought they might pick off from where they were last year and go marching towards the top of the table, but they had a difficult start and people were saying they were a one-season wonder. You've got to give them credit for the way they've responded though. They went to Manchester United and won and should have won at Chelsea two weeks ago. They drew at home to Arsenal and got a tonking at Liverpool - but one defeat in those four games isn't a bad return at all. I think this will probably be a draw if Benteke plays - but if he doesn't then I can see West Brom winning it 2-1.
PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 (as long as Benteke is fit)
West Ham v Chelsea (5pm, Sat, Sky Sports 1)
Chelsea have had a couple of bad results against Newcastle and West Brom, which you can put down to complacency, but they are still there or thereabouts in the title race. I expect them to get back to winning ways in this game because I can't see how West Ham are going to hurt them. They put all their eggs in one basket with Andy Carroll and then he got injured, which has been a big blow. Carlton Cole hasn't played football for a long time and he'll be marked by four international footballers on Saturday, which will make it even more difficult. The worrying thing for Sam Allardyce is that they've been playing fairly well and yet are right down the bottom, but they should be ok in the long run. I can't see them getting anything from this game though.
Everton v Liverpool
I was up in Liverpool last week with a few Everton fans and they were saying they'd take a draw in this derby. I found that worrying because you'd expect them to be a bit more confident at home. I like Everton, but they haven't been great lately and they really struggled against Crystal Palace. They should have lost really and in the end it was a point gained rather than two lost. They aren't scoring a lot of goals, but I wonder if Liverpool's strikers might be a bit below par as well. Luis Suarez is coming back from a long journey and Daniel Sturridge looks to be carrying a little niggle. If there isn't an early goal this could fizzle out.
Arsenal v Southampton
I don't see anything but an Arsenal win - and even Matt Le Tissier will probably agree with me on that one. If people think Southampton are going to go to the Emirates and beat the form team in the league then they should be favourites to win the Premier League! They have been doing well this season, but have been punching above their weight and this is a journey too far. Southampton will try to squeeze Arsenal, but Arsene Wenger has got players who are comfortable and quick on the ball and can pass it around them. It was 6-1 last year and while it won't be that many this time I can't see anything but a home win.
Fulham v Swansea
Fulham have got a joint management team now... when has that ever worked in English football? I feel sorry for Martin Jol because Rene Meulensteen can't lose whatever happens. If the results don't improve then he'll just say that he can't work miracles with an ageing team, but if they do well then everybody will give him the credit for it. In my opinion Fulham will not go down this season and they've been getting a lot of unworthy stick. At the end of the day most of the teams in the Premier League just need to come fourth bottom and if you don't start well you'll always be up against it. I thought Swansea would kick on after last season, but they've disappointed me so far and I think this will be a draw.
Hull v Crystal Palace
The length of time it has taken Crystal Palace to get a manager in place has become a bit of a joke and that gap has not been good for the football club. However, I have to say that the fans have been absolutely brilliant this season; they never stop singing and have been a different class. I've watched a lot of Hull this year and I think they and Southampton are the two most organised teams in the Premier League. For that reason I can see them edging out Palace at home.
Newcastle v Norwich
Norwich's game with West Ham was certainly a game of two halves... it was almost like they were playing on a slope with the wind behind them. Chris Hughton must have been thrilled to hear the half-time whistle because they were getting well beaten, but then they came out and won well after the break. However, I can't see Newcastle losing at home. They have got some very good players who are finally starting to gel - as we saw against Chelsea and Tottenham. People say Tim Krul played well against Spurs, but you have to ride your luck against the top teams. Surely if they can win those games then they can beat Norwich?
Stoke v Sunderland
Sunderland beat Manchester City a fortnight ago and who'd have predicted that? I've been very impressed with the way Gus Poyet has started and I think he's got things spot on tactically (just look at how well they performed against Hull with nine men). Unfortunately I don't see them winning this game and I am just going to go for Stoke. If they can turn their possession into more goals then they could be a force and I think this game could kick-start them a little bit. I'm going for them to win narrowly.

The Dolores School Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday night to spend $8,000 on a school resource officer who would be stationed at the schools.
The officer will likely start as early as next week and is part of a partnership with the Montezuma County Sheriff's Department.
The partnership, which included $8,000 from the school district and $8,000 from the Montezuma County Sheriff's Department will put a full time school resource officer on the school campus, which included the elementary, middle and high schools, for the rest of the year.
Dolores School District Superintendent Scott Cooper told the board that they would revisit the idea of the school resource officer before the beginning of the next school year and decide if the officer's presence will be needed to continue.
"It's an incredible deal," Cooper told the school board Tuesday night in front of a standing room only crowd at the district office.
School safety has been on everyone's mind following the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School late last year.
"We want them on campus as much as possible," Cooper said. "My hope is to have a great sense of security."
The Dolores schools have had a school resource officer before, a position that was eliminated shortly after Montezuma County Sheriff Dennis Spruell took office in 2011.
Board president Allan Thayer said he was in favor of an officer's return.
"I like the idea myself," he said. "A presence of an officer makes them not afraid."
In addition to providing security, the school resource officer, could teach safety classes to children. A class about meth was cited as an example.
The name of the officer is not known yet, Cooper said, but Spruell indicated that someone could be placed at the schools very soon.
Also on the school safety front, Cooper told the Star that the Montezuma County Sheriff's Department donated four bullet-proof vests to the school district. Every five years, officers retire their vests, so they were donated to the school district.
Cooper said he will keep a vest in his office, in addition to the principals offices.
"If we go into a critical situation, we can put them on," Cooper said. "The idea is as a principal, they can try to take a shooter down and in the meantime could get shot."
Cooper said the vests were offered to the school district by the sheriff's department.
"It is a no-cost safety tool," he said. "I don't know if we will remember to put them on in case of emergency, but we are glad to have them."
Also on the safety end of the school meeting, board members were informed that the district recently purchased a auto-call program that can automatically let parents know when there is an issue they need to be notified about. The program will make it easier and quicker to get in contact with parents.

Knudsen, Thorbjørn; Eriksen, Bo (København, 2002)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The recent decade's research on organizational forms has gained important headway in converging upon a few particularly important causes of the new forms that have been observed. Yet, most studies offer no explicit definition of "organizational form," and ignore the need to establish what should count as a "new form." In order to advance this research, the present paper therefore aims to provide a preliminary definition of organizational form, developed along the lines of organizational economics. A typology is provided that allows identification of alternative forms of organizing in terms of distinct architectures (topology plus dynamic rules) and a corresponding level of delegation of decision rights.

An Intraindustry AnalysisKnudsen, Thorbjørn; Eriksen, Bo (København, 2000)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Previous empirical diversification research has largely ignored the combined effect of inputand output diversity as drivers of financial performance. In view of this gap, the present paper provides an empirical analysis of the link between intraindustry commitment, diversity of the firm's product market portfolio and performance. We suggest that commitment constrains the ability to diversify, and that product market diversity can be evaluated with respect to the extent that increases in diversity lead to increases in coordination costs. Our results suggest that commitment to physical assets and technology choice drives product and product line diversity. Furthermore, financial performance increases in product diversity and tends to decrease in the number of product lines. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6896

Ian Somerhalder is one of several stars talked about as a potentially great fit for Christian Grey in the upcoming film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
He's leading THG's poll on the subject (below), as a matter of fact.
Asked about it on Ryan Seacrest's radio show Monday, The Vampire Diaries heart throb admitted he's heard the speculation about his casting, and approves.
Asked if he's interested in starring in the film, Ian said: "Potentially. I absolutely would be up for that. I have the book and I just started reading it."
"That would be a pretty incredible thing, and hopefully that could pan out. Yes, beyond the shadow of a doubt I think that would be a phenomenal opportunity!"
The best-selling book's protagonist, Anastasia Steele, and her troubled, controlling man, 27-year-old millionaire Christian Grey, will surely be sought-after roles.
What do you think? Should Ian play Christian?
Who would be the best fit among these stars?

This post was written by Patrick Cooper-McCann of the fantastic Rethink Detroit blog. It was cross-posted with his permission.
The 2010 Census was unkind to the Rust Belt. Buffalo, Cleveland, Flint, and Youngstown all posted double digit percentile declines in population, falling back to levels last seen a century ago. Detroit lost a full quarter of its population. Yet, if Detroit Free Press reporter John Gallagher is right, there is still cause for hope. In his timely and optimistic book, "Reimagining Detroit: Opportunities for Redefining an American City," Gallagher argues that although shrinking cities like Detroit face severe challenges, they also possess the space and opportunity to become greener and more livable, even if they continue to shrink.
The first step toward revitalization, Gallagher writes, is adjusting expectations. At its peak, Detroit was the fourth largest city in the United States. Its massive factories were booming and its streets were lined with shops and people. Although segregated and polluted, Detroit enjoyed immense prosperity, and many people still judge the city today against this high water mark. To make any progress, Gallagher insists, Detroit has to stop looking backward and work with the city as it is now: a deeply troubled, depopulated place that urgently needs to rescale itself.
For inspiration, Gallagher turns to a host of other cities that have pioneered ways to make use of empty space and retrofit obsolete infrastructure. In Portland and San Francisco, unneeded highways have been removed from the city center, enabling neighborhoods to reconnect to the waterfront. In Seoul, London, and Zurich, streams that were once buried in the sewer system have been brought back to the surface, improving the environment while creating new parks and development alongside the water. In Havana, an impressive network of urban farms, first created amidst the severe food shortages of the "Special Period," are now providing most of Havana's fruits and vegetables. In Chicago, major public arts projects, like the oft-photographed "Cloud Gate" sculpture in Millennium Park, have attracted tourists and catalyzed development downtown.
Many of Gallagher's best suggestions are simpler interventions at the neighborhood level. To beautify the weed-choked vacant lots that dot the city, Gallagher recommends the model used by Philadelphia Green: reseed the lots with grass or ground cover, plant trees, and install picket fences. To rescale Detroit's huge arterial streets, built eight lanes wide but now carrying little traffic, Gallagher recommends widening the sidewalks and reserving lanes for bicycles and buses. These are affordable improvements that, added together, could make a dramatic difference in the look and feel of a neighborhood.
Some of Gallagher's ideas for Rust Belt reinvention come from Detroit itself. One of these is urban gardening, which has taken off dramatically in the past decade. Since 2000, more than 800 gardens have registered with the Detroit Agricultural Network, and several large-scale farming operations are currently seeking city approval. Gallagher sees great promise in this trend. At the community level, the benefits are undeniable: gardens beautify empty land, bring neighbors together in a common pursuit, and produce fresh, healthy food—often a scarce commodity in the inner city.
Whether urban farming can turn a profit is another question. Gallagher is a skeptic. He notes that Detroit's best-known farms are actually quite small; if operated strictly for profit, they would only provide a subsistence living. To operate more profitably, urban farms would need larger parcels of uncontaminated land, a resource that is still easier to find on the outskirts of town than in the heart of the city. For that reason alone, Gallagher doubts Detroit's local food economy will ever reach the scale of Havana.
For better or worse, Detroit is also on the leading edge of another trend: the shift from public to private governance. Nearly all of Detroit's signature institutions now rely heavily on corporations and foundations for support. The Detroit Institute of Arts, Campus Martius Park, and Eastern Market are all run by conservancies; Toni Griffin, the lead planner of the Detroit Works Project (Mayor Dave Bing's signature planning initiative), and Robert Bobb, the former Emergency Financial Manager of Detroit Public Schools, were both compensated by national foundations; and the first leg of the proposed Woodward light rail line will be funded by a handful of philanthropists. A similar trend plays out at the neighborhood level, where parks and community centers depend on the labor of volunteers for the most basic maintenance, from mowing the grass to picking up trash. Several historic neighborhoods, like Indian Village and Palmer Woods, even hire private patrols to supplement the beleaguered city police force.
Gallagher applauds this reliance on public-private partnership as a model of fiscal responsibility, and other cash-strapped cities will likely follow Detroit's lead. It is a dubious precedent though. On the one hand, it is true that many of Detroit's greatest gains, like the revitalization of its riverfront, would not have been possible without private support. Urban farming, the most talked about trend in the city, is technically not even legal; it has spread in defiance of city codes through grassroots effort. But Detroit is not a do-it-yourself paradise. Volunteers do tremendous work in the city, but they cannot keep every park open nor keep every street clean. Furthermore, while they are free to paint a mural or build a new playscape at the neighborhood school, they are powerless to keep that school open if the state-appointed Emergency Financial Manager decides to close it. Likewise, while foundations and conservancies have restored some of Detroit's best institutions, they cannot be everywhere at once, and each time they step in, the public forfeits some control. Public-private partnership may be necessary, but only as a complement to a robust, functioning government, not as a replacement.
With that important caveat, "Reimagining Detroit" is an excellent and inspiring book. In clear, open language, Gallagher lays out an agenda for Rust Belt revitalization that is creative, audacious, and (one hopes) achievable. Although he writes with Detroit in mind, his central thesis—that "a smaller city creates the canvas to become a better city"—should give heart to any city in the grip of Census-inspired despair. The challenges are still formidable, but Gallagher makes it crystal clear that shrinking cities have a wealth of options to reinvent themselves as something new.

When a student employee's conduct violates an SOU or department policy or constitutes misconduct, or when a student employee's performance does not meet the expectations or requirements of a position, the supervisor determines if corrective action is needed. If corrective action is the appropriate response, the supervisor begins the process within a reasonable time of the supervisor's knowledge of the situation. Corrective action must be appropriate to the issue and may be non-disciplinary such as training, coaching, a performance plan, or a letter of instruction; or it may be disciplinary such as a written reprimand, suspension, demotion, reassignment, or dismissal.
Causes for Discipline
The following are reasons for which a student employee may be disciplined:
- Failure to complete assigned work
- Excessive tardiness or unexcused absences
- Falsifying payroll or time card information
- Dishonesty
- Breach of security or safety
- Insubordination
- Sleeping or other inattention to duty
- Reporting to work impaired due to the use of alcohol or other substances
Grievance Procedure
Your supervisor can solve most employment concerns. Maintaining an open line of communication with your supervisor is a good foundation for now and in the future.
• Don't assume that your supervisor already knows about your concern
• Clearly and concisely state it
• Use objective language and describe observable behaviors
• It's a good idea to put it in writing
• Being ready with possible solutions is a great demonstration of professionalism and can go a long way toward solving the problem
If you have not come to a satisfactory solution with your supervisor, or if you feel uncomfortable approaching the supervisor because of the type of concern, you should take the complaint to that person's supervisor (or department head). The dean of students, the designated student grievance officer can assist you if you are unable to come to a satisfactory solution. Please contact the Student Affairs office at 541-552-6223 to schedule an appointment.
Discrimination grievances must be filed within 180 days of the incident with the dean of students. The dean of students will consult the student to determine possible avenues of resolution, including pursuing the formal grievance process.
Non-discrimination grievance complaints must be filed within thirty (30) days following the incident unless an exception is granted, as defined in OAR 573-075- 0100.

By the 1950s, Pristina's main river, Vellusha, started serving as the city's sewer. City planners failed to put in place a proper waste water system and decided to simply cover the river up. The threat of recurring floods and the smell of excrement persuaded the municipal assembly to eventually cover the second river, Pristina, as well. Although Pristina received its first public water system in 1946, the necessary filters to treat the water were never put in place. Even today, the town's sewage water still flows unfiltered into the river Sitnica south of Pristina.
For rock musician Migjen Kelmendi Pristina's covered river was a symbol of a hidden identity. His rock band, Traces, made a song about the City without River. More recently he wrote a book about this theme. The rivers hidden from view disclose the arrogance of communist planning but also remind us that looks can be deceiving. Pristina is a place of secrets, a city more interesting than it might appear at first sight.
To a citizen of Pristina, as much as to a casual visitor, this is indeed a city of secrets. It is hard to find out anything about either the recent past or the present of the city. There are few historical monuments, and those that exist are often hidden from view. There are no signs on any of the buildings and no clues explaining their historical importance. Archives are lost, stolen, burned or difficult to access. On the official website of the municipality, leaving aside the distant Illyrian past, Pristina has no real history. There is hardly a word on the Ottoman period. Nor are there any books on Pristina to be found in any of its bookshops. The rich and colourful past of one of the oldest urban centres of the region, and one of the youngest capitals of Europe, remains as submerged as its rivers.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).

Never heard of a "Nanaimo Bar"? Well, you kind of have to be Canadian! Named after the city of Nanaimo in British Columbia, which is just one hour's drive south of us on Vancouver island, they are a wildly popular item in coffee bars and during the Christmas holidays. The first time this square was published under that name was in the early 1950's in the Vancouver Sun newspaper. I believe it was for a recipe contest.
I've always thought these were way too sweet, so I've been promising myself to make what I call a "grown-up" version-- vegan, of course, less sweet, with better ingredients, a little Kahlua, and a modern touch. Yesterday I worked on this as a Valentine's Day treat for my sweetie, and...success! The recipe will be in a new book coming out at the end of 2010.
Here are the Nutrition Facts: Nutrition (per bar): 142.0 calories; 56% calories from fat; 9.0g total fat; 0.0mg cholesterol; 100.3mg sodium; 45.9mg potassium; 13.7g carbohydrates; 1.1g fiber; 6.2g sugar; 12.6g net carbs; 2.0g protein; 3.4 points.
I compared it with an ordinary Nanaimo bar and these have less sugar, less fat, NO cholesterol, and twice as much fiber and protein!
On a more practical level, I've been pretty busy with some deadlines, and some family stuff, so dinners have tended to be fast and simple. This is one quick meal we had on the spur of the moment:
"Breast of Tofu" Soft Tacos: corn tortillas heated quickly in a dry cast iron skillet, and filled with sliced pan-fried "Breast of Tofu" (which is in almost all of my books), organic baby greens, guacamole, vegan cheeze shreds (Galaxy Foods soy mozza singles, in this case), and salsa.
A plate of stir-fried asparagus and mushrooms with garlic, roast potatoes, and a zucchini "meatloaf" that I devised for the Fieldroast book I'm working on-- very yummy, like a "turkey" meatloaf!

Your nanaimo bars look fantastic! I guess you do have to be Canadian to know what they are. It hadn't occurred to me since I ate them most of my omnivore life. They are something I do miss as a vegan. I can imagine yours are far superior to the fat-filled and overly-sweet original varieties.

Hi Bryanna!
Oh, I am so excited to try your Nanaimo bars. They used to be one of my favorites, though I agree with you about them often being too sweet. My kids are going to be thrilled!
I hope things aren't too crazy for you, but I know how it goes with book deadlines. Good to see that you're still doing some cooking for fun.
The zucchini loaf looks delish too!

Thanks for your comments, guys! Anonymous, Fieldroast products are not sold in Canada yet. The owner is trying to find a Canadian manufacturer.
- Fri Feb 15, 11:23:00 AM PST
Oh my goodness - that "custard" in the nanaimo bars looks AMAZINGLY delicious!! I never heard of nanamimo bars before, but by the look of them, I know I am going to love them!

Delish! I can't wait to see the fielf roast cookbook. I love their products, but they are only available at Christmas in my area. I think your nanaimio bars will drive my DH crazy until I make them. :o)
- Sat Feb 16, 04:38:00 PM PST
Thanks for introducing me to those Nanaimo Bars! There's *so* many foodstuffs just waiting to be discovered out there in the world. :-)

Oh my, Bryanna!
I'm so glad I'm a subscriber!!

Well I'm not Canadian, but I did grow up close to BC (on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington) and I know what they are. Some grocery stores and coffee shops had them and yes, they're always way too sweet! Those look soooo good.

On This Day...
May 13, 1807, Connecticut Patriot Eliphalet Dyer dies. Connecticut land speculator, politician, jurist and Patriot Eliphalet Dyer died in 1807.
Born in Windham, Connecticut, in 1721 and a 1740 graduate of Yale College, Dyer spent his life in the service of his home colony-turned-state. He served in the colonial militia in 1745, and then became a justice of the peace and began practicing law in his hometown one year later. Under the British crown, Dyer won repeated election to the colonial assembly in 1747, 1748, 1752, 1753 and consecutively from 1756 to 1784.
Dyer was a dedicated supporter of Connecticut's land claims in the Wyoming Valley through which the Susquehanna River flows. Both Connecticut and Pennsylvania claimed a roughly 80-square-mile area in what is now Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, based upon their colonial charters. In pursuit of Connecticut's claims, Dyer acted as the Susquehanna Company's agent in London in 1763, during which time Connecticut Yankees began settling the region. He was unable to gain title for the lands in London and the dual claims to the region ultimately led to bloodshed during The First Pennamite War of 1769-1771. The Wyoming Valley was also the scene of a brutal attack upon Connecticut settlers by Loyalists in 1778 during the American Revolution. The dispute continued after the birth of the new nation with The Second Pennamite War of 1784. Finally, the Connecticut residents' land claims were recognized by the state of Pennsylvania and they became Pennsylvanians.
Two years after his stint in London, Dyer served in the Stamp Act Congress coordinating the colonies' protests against the British Stamp Tax. That body served as a model for the Continental Congress, which organized the Patriot war effort and included Dyer in its number from 1774 to 1779 and 1782 to 1783. He continued his public service after independence was achieved, sitting as chief justice of the state of Connecticut from 1789 until his retirement from public life in 1793.

While digging in my scattered "files" for maps and support material for my "under construction" Road Trip Thread I more or less tripped over this little essay. I have no idea where it came from, who wrote it (it wasn't me) or how old it is. But it may bring a smile to your face...it did to mine.
A philosophy professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about two inches in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. Then he asked his students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The students laughed.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. "Now", said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are important things--your family, your partner, your health, your children--things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
"the pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. The sand is everything else. The small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first--the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.
But then...a student took the jar that the the other students and the professor agreed was full, and proceeded to pour in a glass of beer. Of course the beer filled the remaining spaces within the jar, making the jar truly full.
The moral of this tale is this: No matter how full your life is, there is always room for BEER!
Yikes! This is the first time I've done any real typing since the eye surgery that I'm still recovering from. Difficlult it is, as Master Yoda would say. Y'all might want to give me a bit of slack on getting my Road Trip Thread up.
Hope you've enjoyed this small bit of wisdom in the meantime....

IndyCar officials listened to drivers' complaints about the chicane, man-made turns that slowed cars on Pratt Street before the light-rail tracks, in last year's race. So they left it out when setting up the track for this year's Grand Prix of Baltimore.
Drivers didn't want to slow down. They wanted an uninhibited run into a widened first turn and the ability to pass anyone in their way.
"We were unanimous in wanting the chicane out," KV Racing driver Tony Kanaan said. "We all agreed we could handle the railroad tracks without it. But after the morning practice, we all agreed we couldn't go over the railroad tracks."
The chicane is coming back.
"I think it's definitely the right thing to do," said Will Power, who won the inaugural race and is trying to clinch the series championship here Sunday. "The chicane completely fixed the problem. They'll put the curbs in tonight and away we'll go. There was a specific area where you could get over the tracks without the chicane, but you can't have a situation where you have to be inch perfect every lap."
It was expected that cars would go about 180 mph, 10-to-15 miles-per-hour faster on the straight and then enter a wider first turn side-by-side. It would result in improved passing through the corner, making the race more fun for the drivers and more exhilarating for the fans.
Taking another suggestion from the drivers, IndyCar even returned the push-to-pass program to its original set-up, allowing drivers to push a button on the steering wheel to immediately add turbocharger boost and additional RPMs for a maximum of 20 seconds when in position to make a move on the car ahead.
And that change may still be a benefit, as the chicane that is being installed overnight will allow a little more speed than last year's model to carry over heading to the first turn.
"It's still a great venue and it's going to be a very good race," Power said.
Drivers were confident the removal of the chicane would increase speed, but few thought the increased speed would also increase the intensity of the bumps.
Something caused the surface to settle and create a dip before the rail tracks that resulted in IndyCar rookie of the year Simon Pagenaud and his Schmidt Hamilton Honda taking flight when the car hit the tracks.
And Ryan Hunter-Reay's Team DHL Chevrolet and James Hinchcliffe's car, too, lifted off while going over the bumps into turn 1.
Asked about the re-installation of the chicane, nearly everyone seemed resigned to its need.
Slowing the cars at the light-rail tracks also solves the issues entering Turn 1.
"The cars were running about 20 mph faster than last year into Turn 1," driver Justin Wilson said. "My car was one of those that left the ground. Once we put the chicane in, things got pretty good. By going slower into the turn, the bumps were less bumpy. Without the chicane, the straight was so bumpy we were bouncing."
Pagenaud, the rookie whose incident was the first to raise the red flag, was stunned by the way his car reacted to the combination of the dip and the tracks.
"I took off like a plane," Pagenaud said after the second practice session that included a quickly assembled chicane made of tires. "What can I say. I landed pretty well."
Power, who was fastest in the session, covering the 2.04-mile course in 1:21.0185 at an average speed of 90.646 mph, laughed at Pagenaud's aerobatics.
"He could have done a flip ... and a double ankle tap before he landed," Power said,
"I just invented it actually," said Pagenaud, who was second fastest, going 90.123 mph in 1:21.4883.
Immediately after his flight, Pagenaud said the track was unraceable, but after his first lap with the chicane in the second practice session, he completely changed his mind.
"It's fun now," he said. "It's a good race track. I'm enjoying it now."
After the inaugural race, drivers noted the Baltimore track was bumpy, but fun, a challenging track that produced good racing.
Friday, for awhile, some were saying much different things. Graham Rahal said "it's the worst paving job in the series." Others complained of increased bumpiness. But Kanaan and Power both defended the course.
"Who said those things?" Power asked. "We have good racing here."
"We had a major problem this morning," Kanaan said. "And yeah, it's bumpy — but it's part of street and road racing. It's rough, yes. But that adds to the set-up of the car."
"And the headaches," Power said, swinging his head as if was hitting a wall.
Kanaan looked at Power and helpfully provided a solution.
"Take four Advil before the race," he said.
Grand Prix of Baltimore track gets re-worked after cars go airborne

FLORES, Aaron; KOENIGSBERGER, Gloria; CARDONA, Octavio e CRUZ, Lelio de la. Wind Structure of the Wolf-Rayet Star EZ CMa = HD 50896. Rev. mex. astron. astrofis [online]. 2011, vol.47, n.2, pp.261-275. ISSN 0185-1101.
The Wolf-Rayet star HD 50896 (EZ CMa=WR6) is well-known for the emission-line profile variability that occurs on a 3.7-day timescale. In particular, the shape of the N V 4604-21 doublet changes from a P Cygni profile to one in which no blue-shifted absorption component is present. In this paper we use spectroscopic observations obtained in 1991, 1999, 2005 and 2009 to glean physical conditions within the stellar wind that may give rise to these changes. We find that variations in the opacity at a distance r/Rmax ~ 0.3-0.5 of the stellar surface can produce the observed effects. Here, Rmax is the extent of the N V line-forming region. The results are consistent either with a scenario in which the opacity of the inner wind region of HD 50896 undergoes cyclical variations over the 3.76 d period or with a quadrupolar wind distribution in which the sectors having different opacities rotate in and out of our line-of-sight on this periodic timescale.

The novella Blood of the Dragon , comprising the Daenerys Targaryen chapters from the novel, won the 1997 Hugo Award for Best Novella. In January 2011 the novel became a New York Times bestseller and reached #1 on the list in July 2011. A signed first edition in good condition can run from $1,500 to $3,500. The first five books of the seven book series have been published as of 2018: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST OF CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS The sixth book – the Winds of Winter, is still being written, but rumored to be released in 2018. "Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen's brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys." - from georgerrmartin.com ...

12 years of premieres
The movie, alas, wasn't to everyone's taste, but whether or not you enjoyed "I Am Legend," you couldn't help but be happy that Reel Hope: Take 12 netted a half-million dollars for Jewish Family Service of Colorado.
Intense and scary, the sci-fi drama starring Will Smith was the 12th regional premiere that JFS has enjoyed. The Variety Club of Colorado has partnered with JFS for the past several years to ensure that Reel Hope has what promises to be a box office favorite for its signature fund-raiser.
Chaircouples Will and Sheri Gold, Perry and Susie Moss and Dan and Marian Seff worked with ticket committee chairs Sheryl Feiler, Vicki Goldman and Ellen Pollock to see to it that nearly all 870 seats in the United Artists Continental Theatre's main auditorium were sold. Sponsorships were secured by Steve and Julie Roitman and Francine Topelson.
Guests entering the theater were greeted by Chet Schwartz, chairman of the JFS board, and Bruce Proctor, Schwartz's counterpart at the Variety Club of Colorado.
Boxed suppers from Millenson Catering were distributed as folks took their seats, and while everyone munched on the kosher meals, master of ceremonies Alan Mayer, chair of the JFS board's development committee, introduced a video that described programs that JFS offers in the metro Denver area, including the new homecare division, JFS at Home. It offers top-quality, non-medical in-home care that is available 24/7 to seniors and those with medical conditions that would otherwise prohibit them from living in their own homes. The video was the work of Lindsey Gutterman, a member of the JFS board and daughter of it chairman, Chet Schwartz.
The pre-movie festivities also included presentation of two awards. The Jack Shapiro Community Service Award went to Blanca and Howard Lerman while Steve Kris was given the Kal Zeff Business Leader Award.
Blanca Lerman was raised in Thailand and met her husband in Denver in 1982. He was a single father, and shortly after their marriage the family moved to Los Angeles and then Tucson before returning to Denver in 1999.
Howard Lerman, whose father came to the United States as an immigrant from Russia, has degrees in accounting and economics and after working as a certified public accountant he built a successful energy company and then sold it in 1984. A trained architect, Blanca Lerman's local projects include being part of the design team for the Molly Blank and Michael and Iris Smith buildings at National Jewish Medical and Research Center. She also had a role in two renovation projects at Temple Emanuel. She is on the National Jewish board and teaches English to Russian immigrants.
Steve Kris, who retired in 2001, joined the JFS board at the suggestion of his friend Dan Seff; he has served as treasurer and as a member of the investment committee.
Kris grew up in Denver, is married to Elizabeth and is the father of Kaley and Allison. He enjoys golf and volunteering at the JFS food pantry.
Guests included JFS President/CEO Yana Vishnitsky; therapist Arleen Gershen; the immediate past board chair, Joyce Foster; honorary life chair Joyce Zeff; Marlin and Ed Barad; Norm Brownstein; Bill and Bei-Lee Gold; Elaine Wolf with daughter and son-in-law Sandy and Walt Yearick; David and Mia Berlin; Sharon Whiton Gelt; Judy and Ken Robins; Steve Rosdal; Sheryl and Ken Feiler; Susy Grazi; Gloria and Elliott Husney; Lisa Taussig; Andy Levy; Geri and Meyer Saltzman; Sandy Vinnik; Vicki Trachten-Schwartz; Doug Seserman; and Michel and Elizabeth Seff.

'Anti-Islam' Filmmaker Blamed for Benghazi Attacks Vows to Finish Controversial Movie
The filmmaker behind the controversial "Innocence of Muslims" film, the trailer for which was initially blamed for the violence that led to four Americans being killed at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in September 2012, has said that he is not anti-Muslim and wants to finish up his movie. His mission is to fight terrorism.
"It is not [a] religion movie," Nakoula Basseley Nakoula shared with Fox News. "I have a lot of Muslim friends and not all the Muslims believe in the terrorism culture. Some of them believe in this culture. That's why we need to fight [against] the culture, not the Muslims. My enemy is the terrorism culture; this is my enemy."
In September 2012, Muslim extremists stormed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, killing U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. After Anti-American protests ranged in front of other Western embassies in the Middle East, reports came out linking a trailer for "Innocence of Muslims" as a motive behind the attacks.
The movie, which apparently depicts the Prophet Muhammad "as a child of uncertain parentage, a buffoon, a womanizer, a homosexual, a child molester and a greedy, bloodthirsty thug," was financed partially by an Israeli-American real estate developer in California, who said that he raised $5 million from 100 Jewish donors to make the film, and called Islam a "cancer."
The Obama administration initially singled out the film for the hostilities aimed at the U.S. embassies, but then admitted that terrorist attacks were behind the violence. Nakoula, a Coptic Christian born in Egypt who came to the U.S. in 1984, was sentenced last November to one year in prison for lying to his probation officer and using fake names in the production of the film. The filmmaker, who must also serve another four years of supervised release following his prison term, insisted that he is going to finish up the film.
"I am the blood voice for everybody who gets killed, or hurt, in this culture," the filmmaker said. "I dedicate my life to fight with this culture … I'm never afraid."
Nakoula continued, "Of course I'm proud of it. If I could go back, I would do it again. Everybody gets hurt in this culture. We need the world free of this culture. We have to fight it."
The Egyptian-born man thanked the U.S. government for protecting him following the scandal surrounding the film, revealing that they have treated him "very good." Nakoula added he is "sorry to everybody" who got harmed during the wave of violence in September 2012, especially the Americans who died in Benghazi.

Romantic Reputation
Getting a Reputation[edit]
As expected, it isn't long before Disco and KF Fighting take their relationship to the next level. Unlike previous iterations in the franchise, their relationship does not exist in a bubble, and people gossip and talk.
To see how their reputation stacks up, Simology (first) panel, then click the Scrapbook button in the bottom-left corner. See the screenshot below...
This opens the scrapbook, which lists your Sim's memories and other statistics. In the scrapbook, click the second (pink) tab, which opens the statistics page. This lists every Sim on your lot, not just the active Sim. Check out the circled part below...
Here you can see how many romances Disco has, and what her romantic reputation is. Because Disco's first boyfriend is KF Fighting, she has no reputation yet.
Meanwhile, Felix has been bored and started hitting on every female Sim in the neighborhood. It isn't long before he starts Woo Hoo-ing the maid, Brandee Pepper. This earns him a "naughty" reputation, shown first by push notification, though it's also listed in the scrapbook.
Effects of Reputation[edit]
Reputation affects how difficult it is to enter a steady romantic relationship with a target. Because Felix is flagged as "Naughty," if he was to break up with Belisama Hemlock, other Sims would be more resistant to accepting "Propose Going Steady" or "Propose Marriage" social interactions.
Note that reputation is a minor effect compared to other systems. Felix's successful hitting on Brandee is partly due to his having the Attractive, Eye Candy, Never Dull, and Master of Seduction lifetime rewards. Master of Seduction alone almost guarantees that a target will accept all romantic interactions. Lifetime rewards take precedence over reputation.
Note that bad reputation doesn't necessarily get back a betrayed Sim immediately. As you can see to the right, Belisama is still considered his girlfriend, and even has a better relationship score with him than Brandee does. All cheating took place behind closed doors, so Belisama doesn't know he's cheated yet. It can get back to her, especially if Disco or KF Fighting tell her, but no one is talking yet.
Reputation goes the other way too. If we switch back to Nikita and Saint for a moment, you can see they have "Eternally Faithful" reputations. Should one die or they divorce cleanly, they will find it much easier to remarry...
Sims gain and lose reputation faster if their romantic escapades are out in public, especially if one or both Sims is a Celebrity due to the paparazzi following them around, so you'll need to be careful.

Highlights from the 2012 Sweets and Snacks Expo
Every May, something beautiful happens in Chicago. Candy manufacturers and distributors from across the country and around the world gather at McCormick Place for the Sweet and Snacks Expo. It's difficult to overstate the sheer scope of the show, which was the biggest one in its 16-year history. Nearly three acres, or roughly three football fields, are covered with booths from more than 550 companies, ranging from startups looking to make their very first sales to industry leaders looking to expand market share.
While the expo covers all sorts of savory snacks, I spent my time pretty much singularly focused on gathering as many different candies as I could, with a special emphasis on products I hadn't seen before. It took a few days to sample a disturbing amount of candy, but I've identified my favorite discoveries at the expo. Click through the slideshow to see some treats that should be coming soon to a store near you.

Italian Master Drawings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art
Essay by Ann Percy
Catalogue by Mimi Cazort
The Philadelphia Museum of Art is fortunate to have a collection of Italian drawings that encompasses a broad sweep of Italy's art history, ranging from Renaissance and Baroque to Futurist and contemporary works by such famed artists as Parmigianino, Francesco Salviati, Guercino, Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, Pompeo Batoni, and Amedeo Modigliani. With this publication, eighty of these drawings are provided with insightful commentary, complete scholarly analysis, and biographies of the artists by the renowned scholar Mimi Cazort. The volume opens with a lively illustrated essay by Ann Percy, the Museum's Curator of Drawings, who offers the first full account of the people and events that shaped the formation of this exceptional but little-published collection.
While individual gifts and purchases have been the source of key additions to the Italian drawings in the Museum's Department of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, much of the range and depth of this material is owed to the acquisition of two large collections. In 1978 the Museum received by bequest, from the estate of the eminent art historian Anthony Morris Clark, a group of outstanding drawings, principally from eighteenth-century Rome. A few years later, with the acquisition of nearly twenty-five hundred (mostly Italian) Old Master drawings from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Museum substantially strengthened and expanded its collection of Italian drawings by artists from the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries; and from other cities in Italy besides Rome—including Bologna, Florence, Genoa, Milan, Naples, and Venice.
The international significance of the Philadelphia Museum of Art's collection of Italian drawings is borne out by its selection for inclusion in Amilcare Pizzi's distinguished series I grandi disegni italiani, which has included volumes on the collections of the Uffizi, the Albertina, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Louvre, and the Hermitage, among others.
Ann Percy has been Curator of Drawings at the Philadelphia Museum of Art since 1972. Mimi Cazort is the former Curator of Prints and Drawings at the National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.

Scotland is set to bring forward legislation to tackle the 'deep-rooted' causes of child poverty.
The move, which will see consultations for the new bill published over the summer, was announced today (Wednesday) by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon.
The new Child Poverty Bill aims to set out a new approach to tackling deprivation and inequality.
It will provide a clear way forward for delivering the Government's ambition to eradicating the problem.
The First Minister also announced she was re-appointing Naomi Eisenstadt as the Scottish Government's Independent Poverty Advisor for another 12 months.
The Scottish Government previously rejected the UK Government's decision to abandon income-based child poverty targets.
And it wants to develop Scottish legislation after the UK Government repealed large parts of the existing UK-wide legislation.
A consultation setting out proposals for the bill aims to build on the existing work from the Child Poverty Strategy.
The First Minister said: "It is simply unacceptable that children are growing up in poverty and we must do all we can to tackle the inequality that still exists in 21st century Scotland.
"While we have made progress as a government through the Child Poverty Strategy, it's clear from feedback from my Independent Poverty Advisor, Naomi Eisenstadt, and others that we must keep striving to do more.
"The consultation and bill will allow us to refine our approach and ensure it best meets the needs of those who so desperately need it.
"By repealing large parts of the Child Poverty Act 2010, the UK Government has signalled they do not see child poverty and the incomes of poor families as priorities. That is fundamentally wrong. With the introduction of this new legislation, the Scottish Government is sending the message, in the strongest possible terms, that we profoundly disagree."
Naomi Eisenstadt, the Independent Poverty Advisor, said: "We need to prevent the next generation of young people being born into poverty."
Meanwhile, anti-poverty campaigners welcomed the new legislation.
Peter Kelly, director of the Poverty Alliance, said: "This is an important and welcome announcement from the Scottish Government. We need focused and co-ordinated action to reduce poverty in Scotland, and setting out in law what needs to be done will help bring about that action.
"If we are really to make progress towards eradicating child poverty then we need a comprehensive national anti-poverty strategy that involves all parts and layers of government.
"There are 220,000 children living in poverty in Scotland; two-third of them are in households where someone works."
He added: "The new Child Poverty Bill will be an important step forward. However, it is critical the bill is part of a long term, comprehensive national anti-poverty strategy, a strategy that ensures no-one lives in poverty."
