What Is the Hottest Temperature Anything Can Be? [Video]
Speaking: MC Richards - Isak
?
"Well, we?are?political beings. We live in the world; we live in the world of politics. The inner life isn't separate from that. What is the goal of the creativity one feels ? and wishes to develop and help others to develop? Is it just to make more and more pots or take more and more pictures? Is that what it's all about? I don't think so. I think that as we become more creative, we move toward a concern with social justice and compassion. That's the natural movement. We come, maybe through times of loneliness, toward experiencing the reality of another person. As we create, you might say, we are created. We move toward a deepened awareness of reality. Outwardly, we move toward social justice; inwardly we move toward compassion.
{...}
"Consider words: more and more I have come to understand that words are non-verbal. Try asking yourself where the words are before you speak them. I think we make a mistake in trying to restrict a word into something that we can read about in a dictionary. A word is a being. Writing becomes a more intimate and inspired activity when you see you're writing out of your substance, out of the mystery."
?
--- MC Richards, speaking to The Sun Magazine in 1989?
MC (Mary Caroline) Richards was a writer, artist, and teacher. Her books include?Centering In Pottery, Poetry, And The Person,?The Crossing Point, and?Toward Wholeness: Rudolf Steiner Education In America. Richards was born in Idaho and raised in Portland. She studied at Reed College and the University of California at Berkeley, where she received her Ph.D. Richards taught at a number of places, but she is most famous for teaching at Black Mountain College starting in 1945. At Black Mountain, Richards taught writing and translated plays by?Cocteau, Satie and Yeats. In 1954, she and other artists began a commune in New York called the Land, where she lived and created for ten years.?According to her New York Times obituary, "Ms. Richards embraced old age with characteristic openness, writing a poem in 1997 in which she saw herself as ''living toward dying, blooming into invisibility.''?She died at age 83 in 1999.

Time bomb: Military ordnance in Gulf of Mexico poses threat to shipping, says expert
ScienceDaily (Sep. 28, 2012) ? Millions of pounds of unexploded bombs and other military ordnance that were dumped decades ago in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as off the coasts of both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, could now pose serious threats to shipping lanes and the 4,000 oil and gas rigs in the Gulf, warns two Texas A&M University oceanographers.
William Bryant and Neil Slowey, professors of oceanography who have more than 90 years of combined research experience in all of Earth's oceans, along with fellow researcher Mike Kemp of Washington, D.C., say millions of pounds of bombs are scattered over the Gulf of Mexico and also off the coasts of at least 16 states, from New Jersey to Hawaii.
Bryant says the discarded bombs are hardly a secret. "This has been well known for decades by many people in marine science and oceanography," he explains.
He will give a presentation in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Oct. 1 about the bombs to a group of oceanographers and marine scientists in a conference titled "International Dialogue on Underwater Munitions."
"This subject has been very well documented through the years," Bryant explains. "My first thought when I saw the news reports of the Deepwater Horizon explosion in the Gulf two years ago were, 'Oh my gosh, I wonder if some of the bombs down there are to blame.'"
Military dumping of unused bombs into the Gulf and other sites started in 1946 and continued until 1970, when it was finally banned.
Millions of pounds -- no one, including the military, knows how many -- were sent to the ocean floor as numerous bases tried to lessen the amount of ordnance at their respective locations.
"The best guess is that at least 31 million pounds of bombs were dumped, but that could be a very conservative estimate," Bryant notes.
"And these were all kinds of bombs, from land mines to the standard military bombs, also several types of chemical weapons. Our military also dumped bombs offshore that they got from Nazi Germany right after World War II. No one seems to know where all of them are and what condition they are in today."
Photos show that some of the chemical weapons canisters, such as those that carried mustard gas, appear to be leaking materials and are damaged.
"Is there an environmental risk? We don't know, and that in itself is reason to worry," explains Bryant. "We just don't know much at all about these bombs, and it's been 40 to 60 years that they've been down there."
With the ship traffic needed to support the 4,000 energy rigs, not to mention commercial fishing, cruise lines and other activities, the Gulf can be a sort of marine interstate highway system of its own. There are an estimated 30,000 workers on the oil and gas rigs at any given moment.
The bombs are no stranger to Bryant and Slowey, who have come across them numerous times while conducting various research projects in the Gulf, and they have photographed many of them sitting on the Gulf floor like so many bowling pins, some in areas cleared for oil and gas platform installation.
"We surveyed some of them on trips to the Gulf within the past few years," he notes. "Ten are about 60 miles out and others are about 100 miles out. The next closest dump site to Texas is in Louisiana, not far from where the Mississippi River delta area is in the Gulf. Some shrimpers have recovered bombs and drums of mustard gas in their fishing nets."
Bombs used in the military in the 1940s through the 1970s ranged from 250- to 500- and even 1,000-pound explosives, some of them the size of file cabinets. The military has a term for such unused bombs: UXO, or unexploded ordnance.
"Record keeping of these dump sites seems to be sketchy and incomplete at best. Even the military people don't know where all of them are, and if they don't know, that means no one really knows," Bryant adds. He believes that some munitions were "short dumped," meaning they were discarded outside designated dumping areas.
The subject of the disposal of munitions at sea has been discussed at several offshore technology conferences in recent years, and it was a topic at an international conference several years ago in Poland, Bryant says.
"The bottom line is that these bombs are a threat today and no one knows how to deal with the situation," Bryant says. "If chemical agents are leaking from some of them, that's a real problem. If many of them are still capable of exploding, that's another big problem.
"There is a real need to research the locations of these bombs and to determine if any are leaking materials that could be harmful to marine life and humans," Bryant says.

Marine-turned-country star sings about PTSD
By Bill Briggs, NBC News contributor
Everything you see in the music video happened to Marine-turned-country-singer Stephen Cochran: Pushing the girl away, boozing into oblivion, the gun on the blanket. It all went down last year.?
Courtesy of Stephen Cochran
Stephen Cochran, a former Marine recon scout and now a country-music singer, has penned a new song about PTSD - combat-related symptoms that almost claimed his life in 2011.
Even the actor who portrays Cochran is, himself, a former Marine and Iraq veteran who knows of post-traumatic stress, who has wrangled with identical demons. The actor was not acting.
The only on-screen tweak from reality was?the type firearm shown. In his dimmest hour, behind a locked door in his Nashville home, exhausted, alone, and telling himself: ?I?m done,? Cochran rested a loaded shotgun against his bed.
?I was just trying to get the nerve. I had it planned out,? Cochran told NBC News. ?I didn?t know what was wrong with me. I was tired of taking all these pills. I was going through a breakup. Couldn?t write anymore. Watching everything fall apart. I was ready to check out.?
Then: salvation, and a surreal rescue scene worthy of an epic ballad. His dog, Semper Fi, began scratching relentlessly at his door, bloodying her paws. Next, Cochran?s ex-fianc? unexpectedly entered the house, simply to retrieve a forgotten item, he said. She saw the anxious dog. She expected the worst. She barged into the bedroom, spotted the gun and physically restrained Cochran.?
But from anguish came inspiration. Amid an existence long blurred by PTSD ??the residue of Afghanistan firefights, Marine buddies lost in combat, and his own nearly fatal injury???one question blazed in Cochran's head. He jotted it down: ?How do you paint a picture back in focus??
?It was the only way I could describe trying to put your life back together, literally trying to do the impossible,? he said.
Around that single thought, Cochran penned an entire song, ?Pieces,?an ode to the blackness from which he was aching to escape, a tale of reconnecting the scattered fragments of his shattered world, and a message of solidarity for his military brothers and sisters. The single ? part of a CD with the same title???will be released in this country on Nov. 11. The song already has charted in Europe.
?It?s not just my story. So many of us think about (suicide) because you just get so tired, so tired of being the crazy guy. Or of hearing: ?He?s weird.? Or of hearing: ?We can?t hire you because we really don?t know what post-traumatic stress is and you might come back and kill us all.?
?I really wrote it as my own healing, for what I was going through,? added Cochran, 33, who teamed with fellow musician Trevor Rosen to complete the song. It took them only 15 minutes.
But after playing it at several veterans? benefits, Cochran heard from service members up and down the chain of command how they, too, connected with the lyrics. That feedback has turned ?Pieces? into the soundtrack of the singer?s ongoing crusade.
?We have an epidemic of suicides in the military right now.?At this point, we are physically losing both of these wars in the United States of America, not overseas.

?If we want to stop our suicides, we need a complete overhaul in our ?warrior? terminology in this country, in the way we train our families (how to relate with homecoming veterans). That?s what I want to start with ?Pieces,? and the video. I want to get a bridge between our civilian population and the veterans. And I want to reach into the rooms of some of these guys and girls ??who are just sitting in the dark and watching TV all day like I did???and let them know: You?re not alone.?
Perhaps the most ironic thread of Cochran?s story coils back to the days of his first, true musical success. In 2007, one year after retiring from the Marines, he scored a country hit with ?Friday Night Fireside,? the culmination of a childhood dream for a guy raised in Nashville. The accompanying video was voted No. 1 by Great American Country?fans for five straight weeks.
courtesy of Stephen Cochran
After his the light-armoured vehicle crashed in Afghanistan, Stephen Cochran fractured vertebrae and suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2004. Told he would never walk again, an experimental procedure by VA surgeons restored his steps.
Two years later, Cochran became the national spokesman for research and development at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs ??his thank you for a successful, experimental surgery performed by VA surgeons who repaired his broken back. In 2004, Cochran had splintered several lumbar vertebrae when the vehicle in which he was riding through southern Afghanistan slammed into gaping hole that once held an anti-tank mine. He couldn?t feel or move his legs for months, and was told by doctors that he?d never take steps again. He walked.
The former Marine reconnaissance scout, part of the U.S. force that first knocked the Taliban out of Afghanistan?s Helmand Province, next teamed up with the VA to become its national co-chair for voluntary service. In that role, Cochran toured America, urging veterans to seek help for combat stress, ?to let them know you don?t have to suffer in silence,? recalled Rosetta Fisher-Oliver, the VA?s chief of voluntary service for Tennessee and for parts of Kentucky and Georgia.
In 2011, Cochran recorded the music video ?Hope??for the VA to try and cement his get-help pleas to fellow troops. What few knew: Cochran was losing his own hope.
?We worked on that video together, and the week he was supposed to make the video, I tried to get in touch with him, just to check to see that he was going to be on time,? said Fisher-Oliver.
She was unable to reach him, however, because Cochran was by then seeking treatment ? after reaching the brink of suicide in his bedroom.
?Here?s a person who?s trying to get the message out and he?s still struggling with issues too,? she said. ?He later told me: ?I almost wasn?t here.? ?
Cochran now acknowledges that he carried ?almost dual personalities? during that time. In front of fellow veterans and fans, he sang, smiled, shook hands and signed autographs. ?But I also had to deal with this monster I have inside my head and inside my gut, all day.? At home, his family and his then-fianc?, he admitted, took the brunt of his mood swings and emotional detachment.
courtesy of Stephen Cochran
After breaking his back in Afghanistan, Cochran was greeted by a fellow Marine. He later regained the ability to walk.
?You?re screaming out: Please help me understand what I?m going through, because I have no clue! That?s why you see the high number of divorces in the military,? Cochran said. ?I told my fianc?: ?I don?t know what I?m dealing with so the best thing for you to do is just leave and you?ll thank me later.' ?
She left.
But in what could have been Cochran?s final minutes, she came back, and burst into his bedroom.
After Cochran artfully turned that horrid moment into a song, he met the man picked to portray his downward spiral in the ?Pieces? video: Daniel Dean, a Nashville songwriter and actor. He also looks a bit like Cochran. He seemed like a logical choice.
In talking with Dean, though, Cochran learned that the man was a Marine sniper who did three tours in Iraq. And they both had lived for years with the lingering anxieties that often remain for veterans who log months of combat exposure.
?He told me: 'This is my story, too,'? Cochran remembers. ?That dude lived that.?
They also agreed with the concept that ?Pieces? would be not just the first music video to delve so deeply into PTSD. It would break ranks with dozens of other standard, country-music videos about the U.S. military ? mini movies that often include battle scenes that, some critics say, glorify war.
?Stephen does country music and so do I, and there?s a lot of military songs and a lot of them are pretty much B.S.? Dean said. ?You?ve got the Toby Keith type stuff?and that?s all right for what it is. But very rarely does a song hit a military person the way this one does.
?Just because it?s real. It?s one of the things I doubt you?ll hear any of the other country stars singing about. It?s (usually) more of the patriotic angle. Most military members aren?t songwriters like Stephen and I. So, I guess that lets us be able to sing things that you can?t say or can't deal with.??

Four DIY projects that can make your home more secure

(ARA) ? If spring makes our thoughts turn to love, the cooler temperatures of fall make many of us think about nesting ? and, often, how much more we would love our home if we improved it a little. A sense of security is one of the most comforting aspects of home, so this autumn, why not focus on home improvements that can make your home more secure?
Improving the safety of your home doesn?t have to be an expensive or time-consuming proposition. Here are four simple DIY projects that can help make your house safer:
1. De-clutter, inside and out.
Most home improvement projects are either about creating space or improving the usability of existing spaces. De-cluttering inside your home can open up rooms and offer more flexibility in how you use and decorate the space. De-cluttering the documents you store in your home can help improve its security. Getting rid of sensitive documents you no longer need can reduce your overall exposure to identity theft. Be sure to shred all documents before discarding them. On the outside of your home, de-clutter around access points. Shrubs, trees and debris that obscure your windows and doors not only look bad, they can provide cover for burglars who might try to enter your home.
2. Upgrade your appliances.
While a new dishwasher or clothes dryer may make your life easier, when it comes to improving security, think about appliances like your paper shredder or home security system. Bizarre as it may sound, identity thieves have been known to pick through trash and reassemble poorly shredded documents. Fall is a great time to invest in a cross-cut shredder that will make such an identity theft tactic virtually impossible.
3. Lock it up
The dog sitter, babysitter, house cleaner, house sitter ? how many people have had access to a key to your home in the past year? It?s prudent to switch out the locks in your home every now and then ? especially if you have reason to believe your security might have been compromised. It?s even easier to ?lock up? sensitive personal information. Invest in a locking file cabinet or fireproof lock box to store important documents. Lock up your technology by changing passwords and creating strong new ones that can help deter hackers, phishers and other scammers. Keep your computer security software up-to-date.
4. Enlist assistance
If you were building an addition onto your house, you would ask for help if you needed it. Sometimes you need help with security as well, especially identity theft prevention. Despite all the safeguards you?ve already taken to make your home more secure, identity protection is a round-the-clock job, and most of us could use some help with it. A comprehensive identity theft detection, protection and resolution product like ProtectMyID can help prevent the damages caused by identity theft.
Home improvements aimed at boosting your security don?t have to be big and expensive. Simple, cost-effective steps can help improve your home?s security. They key is to be proactive and focus on preventing a problem, rather than just repairing damage after it occurs.

Why Brands Need To Rethink Their Online ... - Business 2 Community
Online advertising has of course become a multi-million, if not billion, dollar enterprise what with the entire world online at one point or another at any given time of the day. Surely if you?re a brand manager or brand marketer you know the value of online advertising as part of an overall?integrated marketing?campaign.
But what if the most powerful brand ambassadors in the world are not the least bit interested in your online advertising? What would you do then?
Well you may want to go back to the proverbial drawing board Mr. & Mrs. Brand Manager because based on a recent survey, the most powerful brand ambassadors are indeed not?the least bit interested in your online advertising, at least a large majority of them.
And in just in case there were any doubts as to whom the?most powerful brand ambassadors are, allow me to quote myself (if that?s even legal) from a column I wrote, appropriately entitled?Why Women Are the Most Powerful Brand Ambassadors In the World:
?? when you factor in that women account for 85% of all consumer purchases including everything from autos to health care, it only stands to reason that the most powerful ambassador a brand can have? is a woman.
As to the aforementioned survey, the folks at?Ask Your Target Market?or AYTM recently?surveyed consumers?on their likes and dislikes when it came to online advertising. ?Overall, the results showed that when asked how likely they were to click on an online ad, 65% indicated they were either not very likely or not likely at all to click on an online ad.
A very significant percentage for sure.
However, when you break the results down by sex, the numbers skew even higher for women with 70% responding they are not very likely or not likely at all to click on an online ad.
What About?Social Media?Ads?
When it comes to?Facebook?ads, the numbers are a little more encouraging for brands as 60% of women indicated they are?are not very likely or not likely at all to click on a?Facebook?ad.
So, What?s A Brand Manager Or Brand Marketer To Do?
The first suggestion I would have is if you?re not already, test your online advertising. Don?t assume your ad is the best and is good enough to get your message across. This is still marketing boys and girls, so test.
The next piece of advice would be to get more personal in your online advertising and by that I mean use what you know about the person to customize the content in the ad itself.
The following reflects women responders only:
Obviously the numbers are not that much better between ?yes? and ?no? but they are better so personalizing the content in your ad, along with testing is a good way to at the very least increase your chances of the end user actually clicking on your online ad.

Westport Plastic Surgeon Again Cited By DPH | Connecticut ...
Written by Theresa Sullivan Barger
A Westport plastic surgeon who is on probation and was fined $29,000 last year faces further sanctions following unannounced inspections of his center that found additional violations for lax management of nursing care, sanitation and infection control.
When an inspector from the state Department of Public Health visited Imperial Plastic Surgery for three days in March, the inspector found several violations, including unqualified nurses, slipshod record keeping, improper sterilization procedures and unsanitary conditions, such as an open bag of trash and an open container of soiled linens. These and other violations were delineated in a 58-page, Aug. 29 consent order signed by Dr. Joel B. Singer, the sole owner of the facility, which also operates under the name: Center for Ambulatory Surgery.
Singer says these most recent charges are ?all part of an ongoing compliance matter. It?s all part of the same thing. Each time they come, they inspect, they find something else,? he said this week. ?I?m sure if they came today, they?d find something.?
But the most recent inspection uncovered new violations. For example, a nurse told the investigator that she was the nursing supervisor, even though she had only started working at the center the day before. This nurse had graduated from nursing school 10 months earlier and lacked the training and experience necessary for that position, the consent order says.
In addition, a review of the clinical records revealed that the facility failed to ensure an accurate and complete clinical record for 13 of the 13 surgical patients whose cases were reviewed, according to the consent order. For example, there was no written record indicating whether most of those patients had received written discharge instructions that typically explain what to expect following surgery and what symptoms constitute complications.
Since then, Singer said, he has taken steps to address the concerns raised by state inspectors. ?I have three full-time nurses,? he said. ?That?s all in the past. That?s not true anymore. That was taken care of. ?Pretty much what it amounts to now are regulatory compliance issues.?
Over the past several years, the state health department has cited Singer for multiple violations against his physician?s license and against his surgery center. Singer has two businesses licensed with the Secretary of State?s office ? Imperial Plastic Surgery and the Center for Ambulatory Surgery. The former is the name for his practice and the latter is the name for the surgery facility, he said. For the past year, Singer also has owned and operated Imperial Plastic Surgery in Great Neck, N.Y.
The health department cited the Center for Ambulatory Surgery in May 2011 and imposed a $4,000 fine, a $25,000 civil penalty, a reprimand and two years? probation. His facility license was suspended and the center remained closed for three months while he implemented state-mandated changes. That consent order was approved by the state Medical Examining Board in December 2011.
Singer, who graduated from Yale University medical school in 1966, has three prior Connecticut health department actions against his physician?s license. In a May 2007 consent order, the state health department fined him $5,000 for a case of ?incompetence/negligence.? He admitted to lapses in documenting post-surgical conversations between himself and a patient after complications developed following her breast reduction surgery.? That patient required a second operation after failing to heal properly.
In a July 1999 consent order, Singer agreed to be placed on one year?s probation for inserting implants of difference sizes into a patient during breast augmentation surgery. The patient record was altered to read that the implants were the same size, the consent order says.
Following the unannounced inspections in March, conducted to see whether Singer and his facility were complying with terms of his probation, the health department issued an amended consent order. Singer has agreed to hire, at his expense, a health department-approved clinical consulting firm that has expertise in outpatient surgical centers.
The consent order outlines a detailed list of 14 systems that must be monitored and reviewed by the clinical consulting firm, pertaining to: controlling infection; medical documentation; nurse staffing, credentialing and supervision; physician and APRN credentialing; quality assessment; surgical services; medication storage; management; quality assessment and performance improvement; and matters pertaining to sterilization of instruments and the operating room.
The clinical consultant has to spend at least four hours a month at the Imperial Avenue plastic surgery center directly observing the staff?s performance and reviewing the staff?s credentials to be sure that they?re in compliance with federal laws. The consent order requires that the surgery center?s administrator and medical director meet quarterly with the health department during the period of the consent order.
Singer also has a license to practice medicine in New York and California. Because of the disciplinary actions and fines he?s received on his Connecticut license, both California and New York states have issued public reprimands.
New York?s health department issued censures and reprimands in 2000, 2007 and on Sept. 21, levying fines in the amount of $1,000, $5,000 and $1,000, respectively. California?s medical board issued public reprimands in 2000 and 2009. Awaiting a hearing before the California medical board is a petition by the California health department to revoke, suspend or place on probation Singer?s license to practice in California, based on Connecticut?s medical board sanctions on his and his facility?s licenses.

The goal is to reach out to teens and young adult women who use tanning beds. Every year millions of young women try to change the skin they were born with by tanning, and ultimately damaging, their skin.?
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, melanoma is the second most common cancer in teens and young adults ages 15 to 29. And one person dies from melanoma every hour.?

President Emeritus John R. Silber Dead at 86 | BU Today | Boston ...
In the slideshow above, view images from John Silber?s tenure as president of Boston University, from 1971 to 1996. Photos by BU Photography
John R. Silber (Hon.?95), the president emeritus and former chancellor who led the transformation of Boston University from a commuter school to a renowned research institution, died early this morning, Thursday, September 27, at age 86. The cause of death was kidney failure.
Silber, who came to Boston University in 1971, was the University?s seventh president, and served for more than three decades, as president until 1996, then as University chancellor from 1996 to 2003. He also was a College of Arts & Sciences professor of philosophy and of international relations, a University Professor, and a School of Law professor of law.
Silber was strong-willed, outspoken, and often controversial, and his resolute work ethic, formidable capacity for knowledge, and dogged determination to improve both BU and the city of Boston made him well known in academic as well as political circles. During his tenure at BU?which coincided, for a time, with his unsuccessful 1990 run for governor of Massachusetts?he greatly expanded the campus, recruited top-notch faculty, including two future Nobel Prize winners, and established the University?s long-running partnership with the Chelsea Public School system, which began in 1988 and continued for 20 years. The University he served for so long awarded him an honorary degree at the 1995 Commencement.
?In the seven years I have served this wonderful institution, I have come to appreciate the magnitude of what John Silber accomplished at Boston University,? says University President Robert A. Brown. ?He worked tirelessly to transform the University, introducing ever higher standards in the hiring and promotion of faculty and admission of students. There were some who found fault with his candor, and those who disagreed with him on some policy or decision, but nobody can deny John?s legacy. He was famously outspoken and unhesitant in decision-making. He left an indelible imprint on Boston University and set the foundation for the course to greatness that we are steering today. We owe John a tremendous debt of gratitude.?
While his tendency toward blunt speech earned him moments of local and national attention, most memorably during his gubernatorial campaign, his friends and supporters praised him for choosing truth over tact. ?I called him the last candid man,? author Tom Wolfe (Hon.?00) said. ?There aren?t many left who say what they mean, and mean what they say.?
Silber was born in San Antonio, Tex., to Jewell Silber, a schoolteacher, and Paul Silber, an architect who immigrated to the United States from Berlin in 1902. He described his parents as ?strict but loving? people who ?gave no excuses.? In 1989, he told the Boston Globe about his realization at age four that his right arm, shortened by a congenital birth defect, would never grow. ?My mother always fixed my sleeves so I would have use of my arm,? he said. ?She never hid it. Neither have I. By not pampering me, they let me develop into the person that I am.?
He attended Trinity University in San Antonio, where he met his wife, Kathryn (Hon.?01), and graduated with a degree in philosophy. He earned a master?s degree in 1952 and a doctorate in 1956 from Yale, both in philosophy, then returned to his home state to teach philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. He was named chair of the philosophy department in 1962, and the dean of UT?s College of Arts and Sciences in 1967, but a clash with the chairman of the university?s board of regents over a plan to split the college into smaller schools led to his dismissal in July 1970. His principled stand, however, won the attention of the BU presidential search committee, then entering the ninth month of looking for a new leader.
When Silber arrived the following year, the school bore little resemblance to the BU of today. The campus had only 66 education and research buildings and 42 residence halls, the library had less than a million books, and most critically, the University was operating at a budget deficit of $8.8 million.
?When I came here, we didn?t have a list of our alumni,? Silber told the University?s weekly newspaper, the BU Bridge, in 2002. ?We didn?t have a balanced budget. We didn?t have a computerized payroll system. We were raising only about $2.5 million a year. Back then, running Boston University was like trying to fly a 747 without avionics, without an instrument panel.?
Silber took an ambitious tack, balancing the University?s budget in 18 months, and then launching an aggressive campaign to hire new faculty, first in the humanities and social sciences, then in the life sciences. Elie Wiesel (Hon.?74), the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities, was recruited in 1976, and Derek Walcott, a College of Arts & Sciences professor emeritus of creative writing, in 1982?both went on to win Nobel Prizes, Wiesel?s in peace, and Walcott?s in literature. At Silber?s behest, two other Nobel laureates joined the faculty, the late Saul Bellow (Hon.?04), a University Professor and a CAS professor, in 1993, and Sheldon Glashow, the Arthur G. B. Metcalf Professor of Mathematics and Science, in 2000.
Over the next 25 years, BU experienced a period of unprecedented growth and engagement with the city of Boston. New programs and institutes served a range of constituencies?with the founding of the Prison Education Program in 1972, Metropolitan College offered courses for prisoners in state correctional facilities, while the University Professors Program allowed advanced undergraduates to plan their own curricula. The physical plant improved dramatically as well, doubling in size with the addition of facilities such as the Metcalf Center for Science and Engineering, in 1983, the Rafik B. Hariri Building for the School of Management, in 1996, and the Boston University Photonics Center, which opened in 1997.
The Silber family, 1971.
Under Silber?s leadership, BU also forged deeper ties with the community, most notably by taking the unprecedented step of managing a failing Boston-area school system. The Boston University/Chelsea Partnership, established in 1988, brought new facilities, curriculum changes, and new policies for students, teachers, and administrators into a troubled system, with the goal of making Chelsea?s school?s ?a model for excellence in urban education.? The partnership, which provided the district with tutoring programs, early-childhood education, scholarships, and enrichment programs, was intended to last for a decade; it ended in 2008 after two. Silber also created the Boston Scholars Program in 1973?the largest such scholarship program in the country. In 1993, he founded the Boston University Academy, a college preparatory school for secondary school students.
Silber served on the Kissinger Commission (the President?s National Bipartisan Commission on Central America), and was chair of the Massachusetts Board of Education, which during his tenure developed the first curriculum frameworks.
Despite his success in raising the University?s profile, Silber?s direct, unguarded critiques of students and faculty made him an unpopular figure in some circles at points in his career. In 1976, unhappy with what Time magazine called his ?overpowering style in office? and a proposed budget cut that could include faculty positions, 10 deans and three-quarters of the Faculty Assembly called for his resignation?a move that the Board of Trustees voted down.
His presidency was never again at stake, but Silber continued to draw public scrutiny over the years. He took a leave of absence from BU to run for governor of Massachusetts in 1990, and secured the Democratic nomination. His campaign was initially a success, but he failed to win over the old guard of the Democratic party, and ultimately lost to William Weld. After his return to the University, in 1993, the Massachusetts Attorney General investigated the finances of BU, and the University was asked to adjust its governance rules. In 1996, when he stepped down as president, he was named chancellor, maintaining an office on Bay State Road and continuing to live in BU-owned housing. In 2003, he was widely criticized for his role in selecting Daniel Goldin, a former administrator at NASA, as BU?s ninth president?and then dismissing him with a $1.3 million payout before Goldin took office.
Silber?s role at BU diminished over the next few years, as Aram Chobanian (Hon.?06), the former provost of the Medical Campus and School of Medicine dean, served as president ad interim, then president, until Robert A. Brown, the former provost of MIT, was appointed the 10th president of Boston University in 2005. Silber continued to live on the BU campus, but turned his attention to other interests, such as sculpture (he completed a bas-relief of Wiesel), and architecture. He published a well-reviewed critique of modernist architecture in 2008, taking special exception to the work of Frank Gehry, titled Architecture of the Absurd. In December 2011, he finished a critical analysis of the work of the German philosopher Immanuel Kant, a project he began in 1954 when he was a graduate student and member of the junior faculty at Yale. The book, Kant?s Ethics: The Good, Freedom, and the Will (Walter de Gruyter, 2012), was published in May.
In 2007, the University honored Silber with a gala tribute, featuring letters and presentations from colleagues, dignitaries, and friends. While many friends poked fun at the former president?s notorious frankness and occasional temper, others talked of his lesser-known kindness: letters and phone calls that came at times of illness or trouble, his habit of eating breakfast and dinner with his children every day, even at the most demanding moments of his career, and his long and loving relationship with his wife, Kathryn, who died in 2005.
?What I am most grateful for was the honor and privilege of serving for more than 30 years,? Silber said at the end of the evening. ?BU was one of the finest toys I was ever allowed to play with?a great toy with enormous potential, if you polished it up and gave it a few tools to make it run.?
Silber is survived by six daughters, Rachel Devlin and Martha Hathaway, of Newton, Mass., Judith Ballan, of New York City, Alexandra Silber, of Carlsbad, Calif., Ruth Belmonte, of State College, Pa., and Caroline Lavender, of Atlanta, Ga., a son, Charles Hiett, of Hot Springs, Ark., 26 grandchildren, and 3 great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his brother and sister-in-law, Paul and Phyllis Silber, of San Antonio, Tex., two nieces, and a great-niece and a great-nephew.
Funeral services will be private. A memorial service will take place in the near future. BU Today will provide details when they become available.

Gut bacteria could could play key role in development of type 2 diabetes
ScienceDaily (Sep. 26, 2012) ? The number of people suffering from type 2 diabetes world-wide has risen rapidly in recent years, and scientists estimate that just as many people could be suffering from the illness without realising it. New research now indicates that your gut bacteria can reveal whether you suffer from the disease.
"We have demonstrated that people with type 2 diabetes have a high level of pathogens in their intestines," says professor Jun Wang from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Biology and Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Basic Metabolic Research.
Important intestinal bacteria
The 1.5 kilograms of bacteria that we each carry in our intestines have an enormous impact on our health and well being. The bacteria normally live in a sensitive equilibrium but if this equilibrium is disrupted our health could suffer. In the new study, scientists examined the intestinal bacteria of 345 people from China, of which 171 had type 2 diabetes. The team managed to identify clear biological indicators that someday could be used in methods that provide faster and earlier diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.
The research, which was recently published in the scientific journal Nature, also demonstrated that people with type 2 diabetes have a more hostile bacterial environment in their intestines, which can increase resistance to different medicines.
Similar studies carried out on sufferers of type 2 diabetes in Denmark also discovered a significant imbalance in the function of their intestinal bacteria and composition. Future Danish studies will examine whether intestinal bacteria is already abnormal in people that are deemed to be at risk of developing diabetes.
"We are going to transplant gut bacteria from people that suffer from type 2 diabetes into mice and examine whether the mice then develop diabetes," says another of the lead scientists behind the project, professor Oluf Borbye Pedersen from the University of Copenhagen and centre director at LuCamp, the Lundbeck Foundation Centre for Applied Medical Genomics in Personalised Disease Prediction, Prevention and Care.
International research team investigates gut bacteria
By working together, a team scientists from the University of Copenhagen and the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) was able to make to several breakthroughs in the field of 'metagenomics'.
Scientists working on the EU research project MetaHIT have uncovered more than 3.3 million genes from gut bacteria found in people from Spain and Denmark. These genes could play a key role in understanding and treating a range of serious illnesses. According to Professor Karsten Kristiansen from the University of Copenhagen's Department of Biology, the recent discovery is an important step in the comprehensive international research that is currently underway to investigate the interplay between intestinal bacteria and health.
"The European and Chinese working on the MetaHIT project were able to make important new discoveries about the relationship between intestinal bacteria and health. The new discovery indicates a possible connection between type 2 diabetes and the intestinal bacteria in Chinese people," Kristiansen says.
"It is important to point out that our discovery demonstrates a correlation. The big question now is whether the changes in gut bacteria can affect the development of type 2 diabetes or whether the changes simply reflect that the person is suffering from type 2 diabetes."

Computer Games Enhance Science Curriculum ? Gatlin International
Many people who work in the field of education will tell you that incorporating video games into classroom instruction can be a highly motivating and engaging way for students to learn.? Possible Worlds, a research and development effort led by EDC?s Center for Children and Technology (CCT), recently shared a video describing research they have been conducting around using video games for classroom learning. ?By building strong relationships with schools, teachers, and students the Possible Worlds project seeks to understand how computer games can be effectively integrated into existing classroom curricula.? This five-year research project, which is funded by a grant from the US Department of Education?s Institute of Education Sciences, attempts to explore how computer games can address two important educational challenges:
- Middle school students bring considerable science knowledge into the classroom, including misconceptions that keep them from understanding foundational scientific principles.
- Adolescents who struggle with literacy typically struggle with science content.
In collaboration with the independent game development studio, 1st Playable Productions, the Possible Worlds project is attempting to address these challenges by developing four digital game modules and corresponding web-based support materials. These computer games were designed to be used with the Nintendo DSi gaming system and ?t into regular science curricula.? These games were also designed to target the science misconceptions, reading difficulties, and motivational issues that hamper student learning and complicate science teaching.? Each of the four games creates an interactive visual representation that serves as an analogy for a complex concept that explains a scientific phenomenon, such as photosynthesis or electricity. Science teachers involved in the study reported very positive results, some describing student learning as a ?remarkable transformation.?? To view the Possible Worlds research video in its entirety, click here.
If you find the idea of integrating computer games into the classroom interesting, perhaps a career in the computer game design industry might be for you.? Gatlin International has an eLearning course to help you realize this goal.? Gatlin International?s Video Game Design course and Virtual Internship Experience will allow you to learn computer games design at your own pace.? This award winning online course and training program is an appropriate starting point for students who seek a professional career as a computer game designer and developer. It is also well suited for enthusiastic amateurs and gamers looking to explore this exciting field as a recreational endeavor.
Combining concepts in computer graphics, computer aided instruction and marketing, Gatlin International?s Video Game Design course is easy to use.? There is no prior game or graphics programming background required to enroll in this course; students will acquire the skills needed through Gatlin?s project centered Virtual Internship.? Your daily work in a game design job will depend largely on the specific job path you take. You can choose to focus your work on any phase of the computer game design process, from the initial planning, to designing characters and environments, to programming.

The Twelve South HiRise Looks Like A Mac Pro Mini, Is Actually An iMac Stand And Storage Locker
In the cut-throat world of desk organization, style often trumps functionality. In the case of Twelve South's HiRise, style meets functionality. See what I did there? The HiRise is a little storage locker designed to sit under an iMac or Cinema Display. The front panel folds down, revealing an adjustable shelf and storage space large enough for even a Mac Mini. But that shelf -- oh, Twelve South is so clever -- allows the HiRise to display an iMac at the same height as a Cinema Display.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/2Kx-eb0cU6E/

What Causes Ocean "Dead Zones"?
BLOOM WITH A SPEW: Perhaps the most infamous U.S. dead zone is an 8,500-square-mile swath of the Gulf of Mexico, not far from where the nutrient-laden Mississippi River, which drains farms up and down the Midwest, lets out. Image: Robert Simmon, NASA
Dear EarthTalk: What is a ?dead zone? in an ocean or other body of water??Victor Paine, Tallahassee, Fla.
So-called dead zones are areas of large bodies of water?typically in the ocean but also occasionally in lakes and even rivers?that do not have enough oxygen to support marine life. The cause of such ?hypoxic? (lacking oxygen) conditions is usually eutrophication, an increase in chemical nutrients in the water, leading to excessive blooms of algae that deplete underwater oxygen levels. Nitrogen and phosphorous from agricultural runoff are the primary culprits, but sewage, vehicular and industrial emissions and even natural factors also play a role in the development of dead zones.
Dead zones occur around the world, but primarily near areas where heavy agricultural and industrial activity spill nutrients into the water and compromise its quality accordingly. Some dead zones do occur naturally, but the prevalence of them since the 1970s?when dead zones were detected in Chesapeake Bay off Maryland as well as in Scandinavia?s Kattegat Strait, the mouth of the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the northern Adriatic?hints at mankind?s impact. A 2008 study found more than 400 dead zones worldwide, including in South America, China, Japan, southeast Australia and elsewhere.
Perhaps the most infamous U.S. dead zone is an 8,500 square mile swath (about the size of New Jersey) of the Gulf of Mexico, not far from where the nutrient-laden Mississippi River, which drains farms up and down the Midwest, lets out. Besides decimating the region?s once teeming shrimp industry, low oxygen levels in the water there have led to reproductive problems for fish, leading to lack of spawning and low egg counts. Other notable U.S. dead zones today occur off the coasts of Oregon and Virginia.
Fortunately, dead zones are reversible if their causes are reduced or eliminated. For example, a huge dead zone in the Black Sea largely disappeared in the 1990s following the fall of the Soviet Union, after which there was a huge spike in the cost of chemical fertilizers throughout the region. And while this situation was largely unintentional, the lessons learned have not been lost on scientists, policymakers and the United Nations, which has been pushing to reduce industrial emissions in other areas around the globe where dead zones are a problem. To wit, efforts by countries along the Rhine River to reduce sewage and industrial emissions have reduced nitrogen levels in the North Sea?s dead zone by upwards of 35 percent.
In the U.S., dead zones have also been reduced in the Hudson River and San Francisco Bay following clean-up efforts. Hypoxic conditions continue to plague the Gulf of Mexico, however, with matters made worse by pollution unleashed by Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill, as well as by a federal push to increase Midwest corn production, which effectively loads even more algae-inducing nutrients into the already overloaded system. The Mississippi Basin/Gulf of Mexico Water Nutrient Task Force, a coalition of federal, state and tribal agencies, has been busy monitoring the dead zone and recommending ways to reduce it since its formation in 1997. But with industrial and agricultural activity throughout Gulf and Midwestern states only increasing?and Mother Nature not making the job any easier?the task force has an uphill battle on its hands to say the least.

Ahmadinejad: Iran 'could have behaved better,' IAEA has 'double standards'
At a dinner last night, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Iran was open to concessions on its nuclear program, though he decried the IAEA's lack of oversight of Israel's nuclear facilities.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad speaks at a high level meeting at United Nations headquarters Monday, Sept. 24.

Mixing blustery rhetoric with conciliatory remarks, the Iranian leader also told a dinner of academics and students at a New York hotel that the violent protests that erupted in many Muslim countries over a YouTube video mocking the prophet Muhammad were indicative of the ?negative mindset? of many Muslims toward the US.?
?Iran has made mistakes, Iran could have behaved better,? he said, speaking through a translator. ?We are ready for transparent dialogue?. We are ready to help to eliminate negative mindsets.?
Mr. Ahmadinejad?s discussion was one in a long list of media and public speaking events for the Iranian leader ahead of his speech before the United Nations General Assembly tomorrow. The Iranian leader had interviews with CNN, PBS, and a long list of US media outlets.
Nuclear concerns
His remarks come as rhetoric has reached alarming levels in the Middle East, with Israeli officials claiming that Iran is nearing a ?zone of immunity,? when a military attack on its nuclear facilities will be impossible and Iran will be able to manufacture nuclear weapons without restriction.
Tehran has repeatedly said its nuclear program is for peaceful energy and research purposes. However, International Atomic Energy Agency officials have documented some moves by Iran that suggest it is keeping its options open, for example, for making highly enriched uranium that could be used in a bomb.
?Iran is entitled to domestic uranium enrichment,? Ahmadinejad said. ?It is a legitimate right?. And what rights do you have if you do not use them??
