"But how do I know if I'm going to like teaching?"
That was the sentiment expressed by one of the very first postdoctoral fellows to come through Vanderbilt University's career development office more than 10 years ago. He was applying for teaching-focused faculty positions because he had enjoyed being a teaching assistant and guest lecturing for graduate-level courses, but his lack of significant experience in an undergraduate classroom left him feeling woefully uncertain about his next step. His concern is still echoed by many Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows today, regardless of their career interests, who are in the midst of determining what they will do when they finish their training.
Although internships have long been common practice for undergraduates and many professional students, internships are not a standard part of Ph.D. training, especially in the biomedical sciences. But the tide is shifting. With support from the National Institutes of Health's BEST program, many colleges and universities -- including Vanderbilt through its ASPIRE program -- are now beginning to organize and promote internships for their trainees. This culture change is also evidenced by internships being offered as an integral part of NIH training grants and by career-development programming being touted as a valuable strength of the training environment in fellowship and training grant applications. We are hopeful the trend will continue and that institutions will increasingly recognize the value of internships and experiential learning for Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellows, especially for those considering nonfaculty careers.
While our experience has been with Ph.D. trainees in the biomedical sciences, the employment landscape has been shifting over the past several decades for Ph.D.s across all disciplines. As such, using an internship as an opportunity to explore a career path, gain transferrable skills and network can be beneficial to Ph.D. students and postdoctoral fellow, regardless of field.

text: Even during the early cruises of the first "Meteor" in the South Atlantic during the 1920s, profiles of temperature and salinity were taken from the surface all the way down to the ocean floor, several thousand meters deep. Those measurements, tedious and time-consuming using buckets and reversing thermometers, are accomplished today by a continuously recording CTD probe. It measures Conductivity, Temperature and Depth, which in turn are used to determine the salinity of the seawater. Typically, the respective sensors are mounted inside a stainless steel cage which also holds a number of water samplers, the so-called rosette. The entire package is lowered from the ship on a conducting wire which transmits the respective signals back to the onboard laboratory. Such a hydrographic station in 5000 m of water may still take several hours, despite the advances in technology. Temperature, salinity and pressure are necessary to determine the density field of the ocean, and the density – along with other parameters – allows the analysis of watermasses, their origin and movement. Another important parameter measured by the CTD package is oxygen, with its significance for marine life underlined by the extensive Oxygen Minimum Zones (OMZ) of the world ocean.

DORAL, Fla. – Hundreds of South Floridians are returning home after heading to New Orleans to try to vote Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez out of office.
Chavez shut down the Venezuelan consulate in Miami months ago, so those Venezuelan nationals had to go to New Orleans, the nearest voting precinct, to cast their votes.
Those voters gathered in about 50 buses to drive the 32-hour round trip to vote for Henrique Capriles, a lawyer running against Chavez.
"It's for our family in Venezuela. We want the best for them. We need the best for them," said Yami Sotillo.
Only a handful voted for Chavez. But upon returning, many who voted for Capriles told Local 10 how disappointed they were.
"Everybody is crying. It's a sad day for Venezuela," said Juali Bordones. "It's sad for the people who voted for Chavez, I don't understand how. There's so much killing."
"Every vote is needed whenever there's an election," said Raimundo Molina. "And, even knowing the results right now, if I had to do it again, I'd still do it."
Some voters said they believed the election was corrupt and others said they planned on voting again.
"You have to do it because it's necessary for something you are fighting, for something you believe, for democracy, for freedom," Edwin Villasmil said.
"I'd like to say it's going to progress. At some point, we will overcome," said Sotillo.
Chavez will be serving another six-year term. It is his third re-election.

All judges must be fully conversant with the Kennel Club Agility and Flyball (H) Regulations. A very effective way to achieve this is by attending a Kennel Club Agility Regulations and Judging Procedure seminar. The seminar and accompanying examination provide participants with a comprehensive introduction to the Regulations and also discuss judging procedure and etiquette.
Anyone who is holding an agility-related seminar this year is invited to email the details to the Kennel Club's Canine Activities (Working Dog Activities) to firstname.lastname@example.com so that the seminar can be listed on the training seminar page.
The full list of training seminars is available here.
To see a list of all those who have attended agility judging seminars and passed the examination or assessment, please click on the links in the 'Downloads' menu on the right. Please bear in mind that although it is necessary for new judges to have passed the seminar and exam, successful candidates will not necessarily be ready to become agility judges.
Before inviting a judge who is not known to them, show secretaries should establish the level of the intended judge's knowledge and experience as a competitor and judge.

text: The impact of the situation in Crimea on global markets faded as quickly as fast as it arrived. Although the situation could rear up again, market focus has turned to more immediate matters. The ADP private sector payrolls report has painted a very different picture of what has been going on in the US economy. Not only did February payrolls come in below expectations, which could be blamed on weather, more distressingly, payrolls for October through January were also revised sharply lower. In reaction to the news US indices like the Dow and S&P have started to retreat but only moderately relative to yesterday's gains so the S&P still remains above last week's high. Traders may be looking to Friday's nonfarm payrolls report for confirmation before deciding what this may mean for tapering. Recent Fed comments on balance suggest that they plan to continue tapering unless something major happens. With so much weather disruption and conflicting indicators this winter, they may keep tapering going for another meeting or two before making a decision, just as they delayed the start of tapering last fall from September to December. European indices are mixed with the FTSE, Dax and CAC lower and the MIB and IBEX higher on generally better than expected service PMI numbers that take some of the pressure off the ECB to do something at its meeting tomorrow. Stocks in China and Hong Kong were lower overnight after China announced that it is holding this year's growth target at 7.5% on concerns it may have trouble reaching that goal as it works to rebalance its economy from export driven toward more domestic consumption. AUD and NZD, which are often sensitive to China, ignored the forecast rallying on the back of stronger than expected quarter over quarter Australian GDP growth. CAD has also been climbing ahead of today's Bank of Canada meeting, while JPY and CHF remain at the bottom of the league standings suggesting that we are also continuing to see capital rotate back out of defensive plays into more aggressive stances. Corporate News PetSmart $1.28 vs street $1.21 Economic News Economic reports released overnight and this morning include: US ADP payrolls 139K vs street 155K previous revised way down to 127K from 175K China announced a 7.5% GDP growth rate target for this year, same as last year.

I have used TrueCrypt for a long time…but only with TrueCrypt container files that stand alone and are mounted.
Then I branched out and started using full-volume encryption to protect some back-up external USB drive devices.
Recently, I bit the bullet and started using TrueCrypt system-wide encryption to protect my personal home laptop…all system volumes. No worries so far.
Because of that I pay close attention to TrueCrypt news, and here is some linkage, in case you are interested.
Let's audit Truecrypt! - A Few Thoughts on Cryptographic Engineering blog by Matthew Green
New effort to fully audit TrueCrypt raises $16,000+ in a few short weeks - Ars Technica
Is TrueCrypt Audited Yet? - project homepage
How I compiled TrueCrypt 7.1a for Win32 and matched the official binaries - technically heavy-duty and most excellent article by Xavier de Carné de Carnavalet.
Windows 8.1 upgrade: be careful with TrueCrypt - GTranslated - Borns IT and Windows Blog - Basically, if you are using full-system partition encryption with TrueCrypt, the recommendation is to first fully-decrypt and remove TrueCrypt encryption…then apply the Win 8.1 upgrade…then reapply the TrueCrypt full system partition encryption. If not you might hose your system during the upgrade. That's a bad thing.

Which game in the franchise has the best soundtrack?
Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy II

Final Fantasy V
Final Fantasy VI
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy IX
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy XII
Final Fantasy XIII

Which game in the franchise has the best soundtrack?
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Leaving Havens gray with rain Now that years have slipped away Leaving friends with gentle pain As they start another day. The roads I travel I must leave For I've turned the final bend Weep not empty tears but grieve As the roads come to an end.
Gotta be VIII.
I feel like he really went all out with VI and IX. I give the edge to IX for me.
What's with the total lack of appreciation for VII so far? I voted for it and IX. They both have an amazing array of every type of game music you could want. Excellent character themes, excellent dungeon themes, excellent town themes, excellent battle themes....
Definatly ffv. Beats everything in most categories. Except from town and normal battle kusic, which ff2 beats in that category
Oh and boss music goes to IX. But everything else is V
Last edited by Galuf; 08-01-2017 at 07:53 PM.
VIII or IX, VIII or IX, VIII or IX....
OK, I chose IX. But FFVIII's soundtrack is almost as amazing.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
XII and VII. If I had to pick one I'd proooobably go for XII.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I chose both VII and IX, as I genuinely can't decide which is better. Basically everything Forsaken Lover said. If it had been a single option poll, I'd would probably have chosen VII for the nostalgia. Also, goddamn, the game sounds beautiful even when 99% of the music are MIDI files, dude. Also, I've probably told my week of insomnia story on this forum a few times, but my senior year of high school I got really sick and couldn't really sleep for a week. Nothing more than an hour at a time, two or three hours a night if I was lucky. It physically made me ill (which just made sleeping harder), and I was on edge, as you can imagine. Flowers Blooming in the Church relaxed the trout out of me and was one of the few things that put me in a restful--if not sleeping--state. Even now, when I hear that song I get so relaxed. And I don't really like Aeris' Theme, but that sunshiney remix of it is everything.
Unpopular opinion, but X is my favorite because it's so...ephemeral. A mix of calming and despair
I voted for FFVI and for FFXV, I couldn't choose. FFVI, because I feel like the characters' themes truly describe them, like we could hear their backstory through it, and the other games never gave me that vibe. And FFXV, because the entire soundtrack is so beautiful, and we can hear the tragedy through it.
Final Fantasy IX for me. A very beautiful, grandiose soundtrack that suits the game's fantasy world extremely well, covers plenty of different musical styles, has enjoyable character themes, is a tribute to previous FF soundtracks and contains fully orchestral scores for each FMV sequence. The only FF that comes even close is Final Fantasy VI, although FFs VII and VIII also had enjoyable soundtracks.
People dislike FFIX because they're horrible idiots. - Kawaii Ryûkishi
"One-Winged Angel" is far and away the best final boss song ever
composed. - Kawaii Ryûkishi
Have a tie for me between FFVI and FFX.
For FFVI it was the many character themes. Even after not having played the game in 12 almost 13 years, I can still here a tad bit of one of the character themes and instantly pick out which member it introduced.
FFX was an overall masterpiece when it came to music. Every venue and every big event had it's momentous jingle and tune that livened the scene up 100-fold. Hands down probably my favorite soundtrack and music-piece, but I had to show some love to FFVI.
I'm a water dude, jet skis, water pools
Surfin' the (waaaave), I'm hurtin' the (waaaave)...
"Oh Yes" ~ Juelz Santana
Tough for me to say between FFXIV and Type-0, FFXIV has a bit of an unfair advantage because it's basically multiple games at this point and the good music keeps piling up with every patch/expansion.
So I'll give the nod to Type-0 for that and because it could use some more recognition.

Social Media Management is big business now with the alterations in Google and companies understanding that even when they don't wish to possess a presence on social media, they are fully aware they have to get one.
But Is Outsourcing All Of Your Social Media Management Right?
In most other instances I'd refuse. Social Media Marketing and management is an extremely time intensive job if done properly which may cost lots of money. You will find a lot of individuals and firms beginning up simply to manage social media and providing you services for less than £100 monthly. I'll be honest and say I had been one of these and even though at that time I had been classed like a guru from competitors when i understood a great deal about social media marketing through good research and marketing my very own websites and blogs, I figured I desired to provide this in a low cost to obtain began within the business of supplying these types of services to other people.If you're not thinking about what your presence/company represents online or don't even wish to consider it, but know that you'll require a name of some type i then would agree outsourcing it is totally the solution.
It was a really bad decision. Only at that low cost I possibly could not spend more money than 4 hrs per week on their own social media and trust me you actually need additional time than that to provide customers the things they actually need. Things I am saying is quite obviously in existence that which you purchase is what you'll get.
With this particular you actually need someone who definitely are on your ball and then not just make use of your content and publish it to social media in the right occasions (when all your fans are online) but somebody that may also come up with the right content techniques for you audience and emanate your personality using your channels. The second happens when it might be difficult.
Whichever company you decide to run your social media they should never be equipped to handle your business exactly how you do and with regards to coping with people this is when your small business is unique.
There might be numerous companies available who sell similar products or services for you, but it's you and also that which you are a symbol of who makes your products and services different. Whichever company you select won't be able to duplicate this 100%. Yes, I actually do agree they're in a position to perform a congrats but they'll not be you.
So What Do I Mean? Be Considered A Social Butterfly
Why is your organization unique is that you simply, your beliefs and exactly how you train with your customers or clients. No generic company is ever going to have the ability to do that as if you or your team people.
What Exactly Will I Recommend?
In a perfect world you'd run all of your social media, however this doesn't seem possible if you wish to have any other work done. Therefore the second best will be a individual who is either already in your team you never know your organization thoroughly and who believes in what you're about or employ somebody that comes in for this function only. I'd however recommend that the person experiences all of the regular inductions, spends time together with your team and does extensive research on rules regarding social media inside your industry before beginning in your marketing.
You don't need somebody that is really a complete guru just somebody that takes a desire for this and who loves to let the creativity flow. After you have this individual you are able to make use of a Consultant who'll train and advise your employees around the best strategies specific for your company. Your consultant may also keep the worker current with the changes happening (which could happen daily)
Things I would see because the last option is to utilize a business who are able to handle your social media, but who'll work along with you very carefully to make sure that they're emanating your brand/business as carefully as you possibly can. They'd make use of a dedicated person in your team who'd result in networking inside the social media channels and answering interaction in your profiles. There's a large plus side to using a company and that's when you purchase the most appropriate one they'll be current with the changes and rules concerning the social media sphere so you don't have to take the time.
The latter isn't about just handing everything to a business but additionally getting your team performance very carefully together with your social media company.
I understand things i have stated can be quite not so good news for many social media companies but to tell the truth if they're genuine they'll encourage you to become a big a part of your social media marketing.

A few changes to my Rhygin: Swapped out the Brooks for a San Marco REGALe saddle. I almost did not try the demo REGALe because it felt rock hard and rigid but to my surprise with it's classic Regal shape it is a dream to ride on.
With the long railed San Marco I was also able to put my Campagnolo Record seatpost back on the bike . I love the clamp on this seatpost. One bolt but still secure and very easy to adjust. Plus shiny alloy and an engraved logo from the C-Record era…beautiful.
My "small" boxy Rando bag was way overkill for me except when I was carting along my big DSLR camera with photo kit. I got a 2 liter Zimbale saddlebag and put two holes in the bottom to strap it to the rack and used the seatpost strap to tie it to the rack tongue in the back. The two straps intended for the saddle hold a small Lezyne road drive pump (a great pump).
I used to ride Speedplays. I need the float so my right foot can point out but I never was crazy about the cleats and tiny platform. I now have Stainless steel BeBops and am liking them much better. The stainless steel Bebops have as much float and are two sided like the Speedplays but have a larger platform. They are as light as exotic super expensive titanium carbon road pedals and have a lower stack height. Not to shabby.

Soul Art and Mindfulness. I will be running a series of Soul Art and Mindfulness workshops throughout the year with Mindfulness practitioner Tanya Forgan. Our workshops are infused with music, ceremony, movement, experimental & expressive art, meditation, nourishing food and deep soul connections.
Next workshop:
21st May 2017, Berkshire, UK
Tanya is a yogi and a meditation and mindfulness teacher in Berkshire.
Her dedication for teaching comes from her belief that the key to unlock the door to happiness (our true nature) and live an authentic life, is to step out of the chaos and into the stillness. When we do this we can let go of limiting stories, beliefs and judgments that would otherwise hold us back.
It is her life journey to bring true deep and lasting wellbeing to others through teaching in ways that are enjoyable, practical and inspirational, whilst also living in the real world.
Lis is an expressive artist and founder of 'Soul Art Sessions'. The emphasis of these heart-opening sessions is on experimentation, self-enquiry, self-expression and an exploration of our unique creativity. Together we step into the unknown, let go and allow our soul's voice to emerge. Knowing that there are no mistakes, together we paint courageously, passionately and intuitively. To make art is to listen to our heart, to have fun, play, be curious and to be inspired.
"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time"

|Did NASA try to hide UFOs?
Did NASA Just Try to Hide Three UFO's???
By Dorraine Fisher
A new space video is causing a stir on YouTube, now showing well over a million views and climbing. Commenters claim NASA purposely cut their live feed to public viewing during a recent live video release, because in this particular footage, three unidentified flying objects were spotted racing out of the earth's atmosphere. And they also claim NASA interrupts their live feed like this fairly often, for sometimes mysterious reasons.
Just when the footage started getting interesting, NASA stopped the live video and
posted a message that said, ""Please stand by. The High Definition Earth Viewing experiment is
either switching cameras, or we are experiencing a temporary loss of signal with the
International Space Station."
Of course, authorities are handing out the usual explanations like weather balloons, but the fact that they cut the feed in the middle of a very interesting and mysterious event makes it even more interesting to us…and more suspect.
Is it some earth being piloting a craft out of the earth's atmosphere, like the Russians or Chinese? Is it solid proof of alien life exploring our planet? Or is it something else entirely. Watch and tell us what you think.

The Safe Arrival Program is a volunteer initiative run by Ferwnood School parents that is designed to provide families with a measure of security as children travel to school. Safe Arrival has started. When a child has not arrived at school, and the home has not let the school know otherwise, a volunteer parent will phone home to check that the child is safely at home. Please remember to call the SAFE ARRIVAL LINE at (250)537-5386 if your child will not be at school or if they will be late. This is the phone number that is checked by Safe Arrival volunteers.
Thank you for the parents who responded to the PAC inquiry about not wishing to participate at this time. Please call the school if you wish to removed from the call list for Safe Arrival. 250-537-9332.
If you are interested in volunteering (it's an opportunity to be in the school once or twice a month on a weekday morning for one half hour) - please let us know.

The building you are now standing in is the ancestral home of the Sermolli family, a noble Italian family that bought the villa in 1602. Within a mere four decades, the Sermollis expanded the villa from its original 18 rooms to its current 54, including storage rooms, a kitchen, bathrooms and so on.
The wine cellar, which used to be the villa's outer wall, is the sole surviving element of the original 13th century building.
The villa was the residence of the Sermolli family for more than three centuries, beginning in around 1640. The villa's domain once included extensive farmland, a record of which is on view next to the reception desk in the old land register from 1878.
This land was pledged to farmers who were required to give the Sermollis half of their annual crops, which were stored in structures such as the limonaia, the villa's outbuilding – now the site of the villa's sun deck.
For centuries the quasi-serfdom to which the farmers were subjected enabled the Sermollis to acquire considerable wealth and purchase farmland and fishing lakes on the marshy plain below Buggiano.
In the mid 17th century Count Leopold began draining the marshes – an effort that was called bonifica. Up until then all villages, towns and cities had been built on hills because the plains mainly comprised marshland where malaria was rife. Once the century-long process of draining the marshes had been completed, cities and towns could be built on the plain – including Montecatini Terme, whose original location was called Montecatini Alto ("high Montecatini"). Many residents of Buggiano Castello also migrated elsewhere, causing the town to be eclipsed by nearby Borgo a Buggiano ("the hamlet near Buggiano"). In the 18th century even the city hall was relocated from the magnificent 13th century Palazzo Praetorio (on the piazza 200 meters above the villa, which can be visited) to Borgo a Buggiano.
More than 20 successive generations of Sermollis lived in the villa until 1954, when the last childless family member was residing there and the villa, which was in dire financial straits, was sold to an American composer.
Most of the farmland had already been sold off or had been laid waste by military conflicts and rural migration. Nonetheless, the striking Buggiano red that the Sermollis used in the paint for all of their buildings is still visible today – a testament to the family's legacy.
Only the poorest farmers lived in houses made of exposed stone, while their somewhat better off fellow farmers, as well as affluent landowners such as the Sermollis, could afford to plaster over the stone.
In the 1970s the villa was sold to a group of Swiss artists, who used the building as a vacation home, gallery and concert space for nearly four decades. Since the spring of 2011, the villa has been a bed and breakfast that enables ist guests to have the unusual experience of staying in a magnificently preserved home of former Tuscan nobles.
Further information about the villa The utility rooms for the domestic servants were located on the lower ground floor, which accommodated the large kitchen (still preserved in its original state) with ist large fireplace, storage cellar, laundry and so forth. The cliff-side basement is made of natural rock, since Villa Sermolli, like the entire village, was built on a cliff.
The ground floor was the entry and parlor area, and also contained the villa's chapel (now the reception area). The Conte rooms (202 and 203) were the count's offices. The rooms on the second floor, which are adorned with the villa's original frescoes, comprised the family's parlor and bedrooms. Rooms 304 and 305 were the countess and count's bedrooms respectively.
Virtually invisible in a corner to the right of the door to room 304, a narrow door to a small cubicle is embedded in the wall. During wartime, a soldier was posted in this cubicle to guard the road between Florence and Lucca. Room 303 next door was the billiard room.
A few words should also be said about Buggiano Castello's flora, which is unique to this village and is extremely unusual for Tuscany.
A microclimate that is ideal for orange and lemon orchards evolved in the north thanks to the mild ocean climate of the coastal region, and the protection against the chilly spring and fall winds afforded by the Apennines. Winter temperatures seldom go below 0 °C, while on the plain the low is – 7 °C. The gardens of Buggiano and particularly those of the villa are so famous that Buggiano Castello is known as "the village of citrus fruits" and attracts garden enthusiasts from throughout Italy who come to admire these natural wonders.

Scientists urge new research policies in wake of Gulf disaster
Scientists are having a difficult time gauging the recovery of marine species from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico because they lack sufficient data about historical population size and the distribution, growth rates and reproduction rates of many species. In a forum paper published this week in the journal Science, they call for a new research agenda that prioritizes systematic acquisition of baseline data for marine species.
"It is impossible to diagnose whether a species is recovering or floundering if you don't have good data on their status and trends," said Selina Heppell, an Oregon State University fisheries biologist and one of the authors of the article. "Too much of the funding in this country goes toward putting fires out instead of gaining basic biological information, which is what resource managers need to identify and diagnose changes at the population level.
"This is not just about the Gulf of Mexico," Heppell added. "It is a problem for protected species everywhere."
Heppell, lead author Karen Bjorndal from the University of Florida, and eight other authors point to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, where scientists encountered difficulty evaluating the effects on wildlife because of limited data on abundance and demography – the rates of survival, growth and reproduction that are primary indicators of population change.
"Sadly," they wrote, "the situation in the (Gulf of Mexico) is similar more than 20 years later."
Heppell, who is a professor in the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at Oregon State University, said doing an ecological and biological assessment of all marine species would be difficult and expensive. Therefore, she says, the emphasis should be on those species that are the most endangered, or those that have an economic impact, such as those creatures that interact with important fisheries.
"We spend millions of dollars assessing fish stocks," she said. "If we want to monitor endangered species in the same way, we need to focus resources on the aspects of biology that provide the best information about population recovery. That involves research on demography, not just efforts to count individuals."
In their Science article, the authors describe the assessment of sea turtle populations as a microcosm of the larger issue. Sea turtle populations are monitored almost exclusively by counting nests on beaches, but when those populations increase or decrease, scientists often don't know why because nesting females are such a tiny fraction of the total population. In Florida, the number of loggerhead turtles, for example, increased from 1989-98, then plummeted.
Several factors could have contributed, but a lack of knowledge about age distribution, reproduction rates, mortality rates and other data have made it difficult to determine what triggered the changes – and impossible to create management strategies to deal with them, noted Heppell, who has worked with the National Marine Fisheries Service on turtle conservation issues since 1995.
In contrast, Australian researchers have logged 30 years of demographic data on loggerhead turtles and when a steep decline in their population on the Great Barrier Reef took place in the 1980s and 1990s, they were able to attribute it to predation by foxes on nests and incidental capture in trawl fisheries.
"Both hazards have now been mitigated by government agencies," the authors wrote," resulting in an apparently recovering stock."
The authors list seven elements that should be considered in crafting new research priorities for protected marine species, including sea birds and mammals, as well as turtles:
- Integrate demography with abundance trends for the species at all life stages and determine environmental effects on those parameters;
- Emphasize analyses of cumulative effects instead of focusing on individual threats such as pollution, bycatch or habitat loss;
- Elucidate links among and within populations since oceans have greater movement, genetic exchange and dispersal than terrestrial systems;
- Revise permitting processes to allow more rapid and flexible response to environmental concerns;
- Encourage data sharing and increase access to data as a prerequisite for funding;
- Improve assessment tools for evaluating anthropogenic impacts on populations;
- Prioritize investments to focus on long-term population management needs.
"We know that hundreds, possibly thousands, of endangered Kemp's Ridley sea turtles were killed or injured by the Gulf spill," Heppell said. "That species had been recovering rapidly – a great conservation success story. What we don't know, and can't determine with available data, is how detrimental the spill effects will be on that recovery.
"We can use money from the resulting fines to develop a new strategy for monitoring and assessment that can identify the specific causes of population decline and make management more efficient," she added.
Shifting the priorities of federal agencies to focus on research that emphasizes how and why populations change over time is a key, the authors say.
Conclude the authors: "In the wake of the BP oil spill, the need for this policy shift is as clear as it is compelling. If the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history is not enough to effect this policy shift, what would it take?"

South Sudan Talks Must Make Provision for Justice and Reconciliation
African Arguments
David Deng and Elizabeth Deng
8 January 2014
As representatives of Salva Kiir and Riek Machar meet in Addis Ababa to negotiate a ceasefire to the conflict that has engulfed South Sudan in past weeks, the question of what a mediated outcome might look like is at the forefront of everyone's mind. Judging from public statements made by the two sides, there does not appear to be much common ground between them. Kiir maintains that Machar has tried to claim power through violence and as such cannot be rewarded with a power-sharing arrangement. Machar asserts that Kiir is responsible for the mass killings that took place in Juba in mid-December 2013 and is no longer fit to lead the country.
In the face of increasingly vocal calls for accountability from international leaders and South Sudanese civil society, the two parties have begun to acknowledge the need to investigate crimes committed in Juba and elsewhere in the country. Taban Deng Gai, head of Machar's delegation in the Addis talks, has called for free access for humanitarian organizations and United Nations Human Rights Council to investigate atrocities and human rights abuses. For its part, the Government has announced the creation of two committees: one to investigate the killing of innocent civilians and the other to examine the causes of the divisions within the presidential guard. These public statements are a welcome first step, but specific and binding commitments to accountability must be detailed in any negotiated settlement in order to ensure that investigations and prosecutions actually take place.
Peace processes in South Sudan have a long track record of prioritizing reconciliation at all costs and failing to secure remedies for people affected by conflict. The 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which brought an end to the 22-year north-south civil war in Sudan, included only a vague reference to national reconciliation and neglected to mention the issue of accountability for past human rights violations. The ongoing efforts of the church-led Committee for National Healing, Peace and Reconciliation, established by presidential decree in April 2013, has so far been silent on the question of accountability. Past efforts to neutralize rebel groups in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states have been initiated with offers of blanket amnesties and attractive political and military appointments; truth and justice have never figured in the negotiations.
Sidelining justice in peace negotiations may help to expedite political settlements in the short-term, but it fails to adequately address the question of impunity that lies at the heart of internal conflicts in South Sudan. Attempts to bury the past also give rise to contested and obscured histories, sowing the seeds for continued abuses by political and military actors in the years to come.
To avoid repeating past mistakes, an integrated process of truth-telling, justice and reconciliation should be included in any mediated agreement between Kiir and Machar. The two parties should be compelled to submit themselves and their supporters to an independent investigation into the crimes committed. Those that are found to be responsible should be punished through fair and public judicial mechanisms. Handshakes, smiles and a mere political settlement between the two parties will not set South Sudan on a path towards truth, sustainable peace, democracy and the rule of law.

Hazen's new principal comes home
June 5, 2014
By Christina Corrales-Toy
When new Hazen High School Principal Kate O'Brien officially begins her duties July 1, she certainly won't need a tour of her workplace.
O'Brien knows the Hazen halls very well, because she roamed them as student, having graduated from the school in 2000.
"There's no hiding from me, I know where you all are. I know all the spots," she joked when talking about her familiarity with the school.
O'Brien remembers spending long hours at Hazen, participating in as many activities as she could. She was an athlete, a cheerleader, a club president and an active member of the Associated Student Body leadership.
It all led to a memorable four years, and a great appreciation for all that the Hazen community has to offer, she said.
"I was a very involved high school student in the building and I think that's one of my primary interests for returning, is to make sure that other students have that same experience," she said.
She comes from a family of educators. Her parents are retired teachers, and both are passionate members of the Hazen community, having raised their family in the Renton Highlands. O'Brien's father, John, taught and coached at the school, and continues as a substitute.
Though education is in her blood, it wasn't something she immediately planned to pursue, but once she did, she always had an eye toward one day returning to the Renton School District.
When she got the chance to helm the Highlanders, she jumped at it, knowing how much it would mean not only to her, but her entire family, especially her dad.
"My mom and I got dressed up in Hazen clothes and surprised him, and he was just speechless," she said. "He has such respect for the principals he worked for there, I think that, for him, makes it even more special and more important."
O'Brien's teaching career began at Federal Way High School, where she taught social studies. It was a subject that appealed to her, in part, thanks to Hazen humanities teacher Cathy Ames, who is still at the school.
"She was absolutely my inspiration for choosing social studies," O'Brien said. "I fell in love with it after taking her course. I always wanted to teach the same things that she did."
O'Brien then moved to the Clover Park School District, where she served as the Lakes High School assistant principal. At Lakes, she worked with a diverse school community, serving students from nearby Joint Base Lewis-McChord.
After that, she spent time as an educational consultant for Ignite for Schools. In that capacity, she worked with high school administrative teams, including high schools in the Renton School District, to create staff development workshops focused on achieving a positive culture and climate, in addition to increased academic success.
She returned to the Renton School District in 2012, accepting an assistant principal position at the Secondary Learning Center.
"I really did want to come back and serve in my home community," she said.
She is now working closely with current Hazen Principal Randy Taylor, as she transitions to her new position, soaking up as much information as she can.
Taylor served as the interim principal this school year, taking over while district staff found a replacement for John Kniseley, who left to become principal at Kentwood High School in 2013.
"Kate brings passion, vision, outstanding leadership and instructional skills to this position," Taylor wrote in an email to staff.
O'Brien said she can't wait to hit the ground running working with Hazen staff, forming community partnerships and making sure the school continues its tradition of excellence.
"Teachers are clearly committed to getting students across that stage," she said, "and I'm so excited to be a part of a team that puts kids first."

David Boaz of the libertarian Cato Institute -- which champions individual liberty, limited government, peace and free markets -- has been outspoken in his criticism of 2016 Republican front-runner Donald J. Trump: "Not since George Wallace has there been a presidential candidate who made racial and religious scapegoating so central to his campaign."
It is true that Trump announced his White House candidacy by vilifying immigrants from Mexico as rapists and drug-traffickers. He has advocated a ban on all Muslims entering the country, for shutting down mosques and for implementing a database system to track Muslims in the United States. He has repeatedly and falsely testified that "when the World Trade Center came tumbling down," he personally witnessed "thousands and thousands of people ... cheering." He has even argued for the U.S. to commit the war crime of deliberately killing the children and families of terrorists.
I met George Wallace, and I remember well his 1963 gubernatorial inaugural address ("Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever"). Later that same year, Gov. Wallace stood "in the schoolhouse door" -- prior to stepping aside before federal authorities -- to oppose the court-ordered admission of two African-American students, Vivian Malone and James Hood, to the then-all-white University of Alabama. He cannot escape responsibility for Alabama state troopers' gassing and beating civil rights marchers at the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma (including future Georgia Rep. John Lewis, whose skull was fractured) for simply seeking the right to register to vote; nor can he escape responsibility for contributing to the climate of hate in Birmingham that led to three Ku Klux Klansmen bombing the 16th Street Baptist Church and killing four young African-American girls attending Sunday school.
But on May 15, 1972, while campaigning in Laurel, Maryland, George Wallace was sentenced to a lifetime of unremitting pain in a wheelchair by assassin Arthur Bremer's bullets. (The next day, while in the hospital fighting for his life, Wallace would win both the Maryland and Michigan Democratic presidential primaries.) After one final White House bid in 1976 was effectively ended by former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter, leader of the New -- and very different -- South, Wallace endorsed Carter to help Carter become the first Southerner since the Civil War to win the presidency.
But George Wallace, unlike Donald Trump, was able to admit that he had been wrong and to apologize to those he had hurt. As Stephen Lesher recounted in his book "George Wallace: American Populist," in 1979 Wallace went unannounced to Montgomery's Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been pastor a quarter-century earlier. Wallace was pushed to the front and said: "I have learned what suffering means. In a way that was impossible (before the assassination attempt). I think I can understand something of the pain black people have come to endure. I know I contributed to that pain, and I can only ask your forgiveness."
George Wallace sought out John Lewis, who described their meeting: "I could tell that he was a changed man. He was engaged in a campaign to seek forgiveness from the same African-Americans he had oppressed. He acknowledged his bigotry and assumed responsibility for the harm he had caused. He wanted to be forgiven." And forgiven he was. When the repentant and changed man won his fourth and last term as governor in 1982, he did so because 90 percent of Alabama's African-American voters cast their votes for George Wallace.

Shields: In defense of George Wallace
David Boaz of the libertarian Cato Institute -- which champions individual liberty, limited government, peace and free markets -- has been outspoken in his criticism of 2016 Republican front-runner Donald J. Trump: "Not since George Wallace has there been a presidential candidate who made racial and religious scapegoating so central to his campaign."

Three engineering dean candidates invited to campus
LAWRENCE — Three candidates for dean of the University of Kansas School of Engineering will take part in on-campus interviews in the weeks ahead. Members of the KU community are invited to attend public presentations during each candidate's on-campus interview and provide feedback to the search committee.
"The committee was impressed with the quality of the applicant pool and these three candidates in particular," said Ken Audus, dean of the School of Pharmacy and chair of the search committee. "We're excited to learn more about their vision for the School of Engineering and hear from students, faculty and staff at KU what they think are the strengths each candidate could bring to the position."
The name of each candidate will be announced roughly a day before their respective campus visit. Public presentations for each of the candidates:
- Candidate 1, 8:30-9:30 a.m. Nov. 9, 164 Ritchie Hall
- Candidate 2, 8:30-9:30 a.m. Nov. 15, Spahr Engineering Classroom, Eaton Hall, Room 2
- Candidate 3, 8:30-9:30 a.m. Nov. 30, 164 Ritchie Hall
Candidates will present their ideas on factors they consider critical to the future success of the School of Engineering and how they, as dean, would leverage strengths and remove impediments to increase the school's impact. The presentations will be recorded and available for viewing online after the final candidate has appeared on campus. Members of the campus community will have until Dec. 4 to provide their impressions and observations of each candidate online.
The dean of the School of Engineering oversees KU's second-largest academic unit on the Lawrence and Edwards campuses, with more than 3,000 students. The school has dramatically expanded its facilities since 2012, adding five new buildings and 325,000 square feet of world-class research labs, state-of-the-art classrooms and enhanced collaboration spaces. In the past six years, the school has seen a 29 percent increase in bachelor's degrees awarded and 15 percent increase in graduate degrees awarded. The school has the highest percentage of women engineering students and the highest percentage of women earning degrees of any engineering program in Kansas.
Faculty in the school lead and contribute to a number of research endeavors; chief among them:
- Center for Environmentally Beneficial Catalysis (Graduated NSF ERC)
- Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (NSF STC)
- Institute for Bioengineering Research
- Information and Telecommunication Technology Center (National Center for Academic Excellence in Information Assurance/Cyber Defense and NSF Scholarship for Service in Cybersecurity)
- NSA Science of Security Lablet
