Cerberus: In Dramatic, Dark Lines for Studio Art
By Helen Huang, V Form
This pencil drawing is one of many pieces I am making for my concentration in Studio III. In my concentration, I am focusing on mythical creatures in the modern world. For this particular piece, I chose the idea of drawing the Greek mythological creature, Cerberus, but with a modern twist. I made the dog cute and fluffy and set him on a soft blanket with his toys near a fireplace. I wanted to make the whole composition seem cozy and welcoming, which is the opposite of what Cerberus in Greek mythology is like. The shadow of the dog, drawn with dramatic, harsh lines, is a reference to the true nature of Cerberus: scary and foreboding, which contrasts with the cuteness of the dog, drawn with soft, careful lines. I purposely chose this composition because I wanted to show that mythical creatures can evolve into what we want to see them as. Personally, I enjoy the idea of having a cute three-headed dog rather than a scary one, and therefore in my perspective, Cerberus looks like the dog in the piece. (more…)
The Islamic Art of the Calligraphic Manuscript By Muhammad Taqi (1695)
By Jenny Tang, V Form
Most people, upon hearing art, think of visuals. They recall famous paintings and sculpture. Art, however, has many more facets. Islam, for instance, regards calligraphy and book-making
as the highest form of art. For this reason, a calligraphic manuscript was chosen for this assignment. The manuscript also presents visual elements worth studying. The piece is created by Muhammad Taqi in Persia of 1695 during the era of the Safavid Empire. It is stored in Carnegie Mellon University's rare books collection. The manuscript has a floral painting cover, a first-page design, and calligraphy. It contains namaz (daily prayers) and verses for Ramadan (the Month of Fasting) written in Arabic[1]. Given its size of 13 by 9 by 1.3 cm, it was probably carried around for prayers. The calligraphic manuscript exemplifies Islamic art by using the elements of floral arabesque, geometry, and calligraphy. Analyzing the manuscript unveils Islamic art's root in both religion and secular, global influences. (more…)
Poetry: Pouring Myself into the Pages
By Kendall Sommers, III Form
Introduction from the Poet:
I enjoy writing poetry because using words creatively is an art form that acts as an outlet for me. Depicting my emotions with strings of words allows me to be more in tune to my inner self and helps me to explore different forms of expression. I am often inspired when reading my poems over again. I thoroughly enjoy seeing myself grow emotionally as a writer and as a person. The fact that there truly is always room for improvement in writing is fascinating for me. This understanding of poetry is what drives me to keep pouring myself into these pages. In addition, I also explore poetry by reading the works of other people, whether these are poems in books or magazines or the portfolios that my friends have me read over. I learn something from every line I read, and I am inspired by how open and unique every word and every writer is. I especially love the creative genre in which I write: free verse. I choose to write in a narrative tone because it allows for the story I always have to shine through. Some of my stories are emotional, some are funny, and some are seemingly meaningless, but I use all of them as a method of exploring my thoughts and seeing how they appear to other people as text.
Below are some of my poems with explanations of how I crafted them. (more…)

Software Pipeline Connecting Close-Range Photogrammetry and 3D Printing
By Gillian Yue, VI Form
Click on Image to View Full Poster
Abstract/Introduction
The aim of this project is to make it possible for an average person with no prior knowledge in photogrammetry to 3D-print small objects found in daily lives. My work is to create a software that serves as a pipeline; the software connects the multiple processes that are required to transform the input of of photos of the target object into an output of a 3D printable model file. In other words, what used to be a complicated process of switching between different tools and manually processing the model to make it 3D printable becomes a simple one-click routine where the user can provide the initial group of photos, and then simply sit next to the 3D printer to wait for the object to come out half an hour later.

"Two Worlds"–Drawing with Color Pencil and Gouache
By Leean Li, V Form
Made with color pencil and gouache (a type of paint) on bright orange paper, this drawing is called Two Worlds. It examines pollution, part of my concentration topic for my Studio III portfolio. I approached the subject from a third person perspective. Inside the apartment, a couple sits comfortably, while outside is a polluted world which animals have to escape. The depiction reveals a discrepancy between human and animals' experience with pollution. We never realize the price the ecosystem paid for us to enjoy our daily conveniences, such as having electricity and running water. Additionally, since our general public regard pollution as distant and irrelevant, we often made little effort to change. Nevertheless, to accept a polluted world is our selfish decision, negligent of not only the future of humanity but also of the entire ecosystem. (more…)
Counterculture & The Graduate and its Soundtrack by "Simon & Garfunkel"
By Helynna Lin, VI Form
The term Counterculture refers to a set of movements, ideal, and practices that emerged in the American culture between the 1960s and the 1970s. The counterculture was largely a response to the Cold War's effects on the American society, and there were four core beliefs. First, advocates for counterculture rejected capitalism, for they believed that western corporates used Cold War politics to expand their markets worldwide and gain a larger profit. Second, in response to the rise of uniformity, counterculture rejected conformism and encouraged individuals to break the shackles of society's expectations. Third, the rise of individualism caused an emergence of sexual liberation and experimentation as a movement against the traditional family model. Finally, the counterculture was mainly supported by the teenage generation, who came up with the slogan "don't trust people over 30".[1] [2]
Mike Nichol's The Graduate (1967) is a bildungsroman that illustrates the transition from teenage years to adulthood of the protagonist, Benjamin Braddock. The movie's soundtrack features many songs by "Simon & Garfunkel", a folk-rock duo formed by Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. (more…)
Studio Art Concentration: Interpretations of Snakes
By Rosanna Zhao, V Form
Growing up as a devout Christian, I always found myself looking at snakes in a negative light; they represented sin and temptation, luring man and woman to take a bite from the fruit that ruined their lives forever. However, as I became increasingly fascinated by the fashion world, a new representation of snakes enlightened me. Wrapped around models and flashing in bold reds and yellows, snakes became a more regal and daring creature in my eyes. Inspired by the two drastically different images of snakes, I focused my Advanced Studio Art concentration on the distinct interpretations of snakes in different time periods and cultures.

The Bearcats lost the first set but came back to win 3-1. Jordan Thompson, who leads the country in kills, had 26.
The Bearcats have taken #6 Pitt to a 5th set with a trip to the Sweet Sixteen on the line.
After falling behind 4-0 in the 5th set, the Bearcats rallied for a 15-13 victory! Next up is Penn State next weekend in the Sweet Sixteen.
UC had the equivalent of a 7 seed, and beat 10 seed VCU and 2 seed Pitt to advance.
The Bearcats will travel to Stanford to take on 3 seed equivalent Penn State, Friday at 8pm on WatchESPN. If they win, they'll likely face Stanford Saturday on ESPNU.
UC took Penn State to a 5th set, but ended up losing 3-2. I was a great run. Quite an accomplishment for a team that wasn't ranked all year.

With a nod to Melville's mutual, joint-stock world, in all meridians, Henry Hughes joins savagery and civilization, sex and sexuality, bodies and ideas, animals and humans, men and women all in a dazzling cast of voices. Praised by Li-Young Lee for the gorgeous and masterful writing in his Oregon Book Award-winning Men Holding Eggs, the new poems of Moist Meridian show us the growing range and depth of this accomplished writer.
I find Henry Hughes to be a remarkable landscapist and story-teller, and I love the sassy, brassy, crash of his anecdotal poems. He is braver than most of us in dealing with sex without losing focus. He seems completely honest. And again and again, one is lured by him, as land, water and people come together in exotic but all-too-human catastrophes.
Navigating the meridian of Eros, steeping themselves in a heady, resonant music, these poems teem with savvy wit, offering us their startling, secular epiphanies. In this bold, impressive collection, we learn …if a tree s cut deep inside your sleep/ it makes a sound like sex. With fierce intelligence, with full-tilt sensuality, Henry Hughes gives us a world where appetites get the best of us and give the best to us, too.
–Paulann Petersen
T.S. Eliot once damned a poet by saying: "He had the experience, but missed the meaning." To flip that infamous criticism: Henry Hughes has the experiences, but he also definitely gets their meanings. Hughes is a wise, generous poet. His new poems are tender and empathetic. His faith in life is so much out in the clear–where the light is sharp and the darknesses real. Whether it's from a fleeting image or a life-burdened memory, Hughes doesn't simply record, he discovers and recovers. More so, he affirms, weighs, appreciates, and displays such a fine empathy for life and the living that when you are done reading these poems you may find yourself cherishing humanity a little bit more.
For me, Moist Meridian is a place where a New Yorker's awareness and honesty meets the vast expanse of the West and its unusual set of characters.
–Saralyn Hilde, Oregon Arts Commission
Henry's book, Moist Meridian, is available from Amazon.


By Fr. Angelo Anthony, C.PP.S.
Last week Jesus challenged the disciples by telling them, "If you want to be great you must be the servant of all." He then embraced a child and said, "If you receive a child like this in my name, you receive me." Even though the culture of the time saw children as having no rights or status under the law they were precious in God's eyes. The Precious Blood of Christ reminds us of the dignity of each person as a child of God.
As the disciples found out, it is not just a select few who will carry out God's plans. When someone is different from us we may say, "If you are not with me you're against me." Jesus looks at it from another perspective, "Whoever is not against us is for us." The Holy Spirit can and will work in people very different from us who are none-the-less instruments of the heart of God.
So what kind of witness will you be to children and the child-like? There are "little ones" young or old who are weak in faith or still learning what it means to be a child of God. They can easily be led astray by our way of living. Our bad example can be a poison that destroys the innocence of another person thereby leading them to sin.
Those of you around young children know how easily a child picks up new words, even the foul or hurtful words we sometimes use. It is important to monitor our language, get rid of gossiping and excessive criticism, steer clear of lying or inappropriate use of the internet so that we do not unknowing lead children astray.
To live the gospel is serious business. To make this point, Jesus uses some very explicit language like plucking out your eye or cutting off you hand if it leads you to sin. He is not supporting the mutilation of our body. Rather, by using the technique of a hyperbole Jesus is emphasizing the seriousness of sinful behavior or scandal.
Could Jesus say to us, "You say you are my followers, but your behavior shows something quite different? If so, it is a wake-up call for us to get back in step with the Lord. St. James reminds us that material possessions fade away but the love we give to one another lives forever. The cry of hurting humanity, the cry of the blood of those abused or abandoned, reaches the ears of the Lord of host. Will we respond as part of the solution or part of the problem?
When it comes time to replay the story of your life what will you see? Today is the day to make a choice to serve God generously through the relationships and chance encounters you experience each day. What is the hook, the thing that trips you up in life? Identify it and keep working to get rid of it each day. Through the Precious Blood of Jesus, we are to be the cause of grace and not disgrace in the lives of others. We are to be the fulfillment of the dream of Moses that all people would be prophets of the Lord. Blood of Christ lead us to life!
Fr. Angelo Anthony, C.PP.S., is the pastor of the Dayton Region Seven parishes, which include Emmanuel, Holy Trinity and St. Joseph.

Amatori Rugby Milano were an Italian rugby union team based in Milan founded in 1927 and disbanded in 2011.

Founded in 1927 as part of the football team Ambrosiana-Inter of Milan, the club won the first ever Italian championship in 1929 and ever since have won 18 domestic championships that made them Italy's most titled rugby union team.
The club members named themselves Amatori Rugby Milano as soon as Ambrosiana-Inter dropped their rugby union branch in 1929.

Between 1993 and 1997 Amatori Milano was part of the A.C. Milan sport club under the ownership of Silvio Berlusconi and won 4 domestic championships. When Berlusconi dropped the sport club to keep the football team only Amatori folded and in 1998 the senior team and the sports title were sold to Calvisano. The club were revived in 2002 and coached by Marcello Cuttitta, a former Italian international rugby union player that played for Amatori in the 1990s, managing to reach the second tier of Italian rugby union championship before being disbanded in 2011.

History
Amatori Rugby Milano was founded in 1928 as Ambrosiana, branch of the "Ambrosiana Football Club", that today is known as Internazionale Milano F.C.
The club won the first ever Italian domestic championship (today, the Top12) in 1929. Amatori Rugby Milano would dominate the coming years, winning back-to-back titles in 1931, 1932 and 1933.
Amatori Rugby Milano won the championship again in 1936, and then twice more during the decade, in total throughout the 1930s, winning the national championship on eight occasions. The 1940s were also a highly successful time for the club; winning the championship after their 1939 victory once again in 1940, which was then following by successful championships three seasons in a row to 1943.
Amatori Rugby Milano won a fifth title that decade, winning the 1946 season as well.

The following years were very quiet in contrast to the dominance of the 1930s and 1940s.
The club however won a number of titles during the 1990s as well: capturing the 1991, 1993 national championships and 1995, 1996 as part of the A.C. Milan sport club under the ownership of Silvio Berlusconi, as well as winning the Coppa Italia for the first time in the club's history in the 1995 season.

When Berlusconi dropped the sport club to keep the football team only Amatori folded and in 1998 the senior team and the sports title were sold to Calvisano. The club were revived in 2002 and during the early 2000s Amatori Milano were in Serie C, but quickly found qualification to Serie B. In 2010 Amatori Milano is promoted to Serie A, the second tier of Italian rugby union championship, where they competed in two seasons before being disbanded in 2011.

Each soil should really be mildly fruitful, furthermore quick draining. Founded flowers does survive one drought quite well, but Aloe Vera does take advantage of a normal watering. After Aloe Vera try grown in pots, it is recommended all soil be permitted to dry before adding any extra water.

Sweat hogs! City doubles price of gyms
By Aaron Short and Daniel Bush
Members of Williamsburg's Metropolitan Pool were not happy about a fee hike that doubled annual dues to $150, starting June 30. The increase affects all city-run recreation facilities.
Community Newspaper Group / Aaron Short
Working out on the cheap just got twice as pricey.
Brooklyn's gym rats used to paying as little as $50 per year at Parks Department gyms experienced sticker shock Friday when the city doubled the price of membership to its recreation centers and indoor pools.
On July 1, annual fees for a gym with an indoor pool jumped from $75 to $150 a year, while fees for a gym without a pool shot up from $50 to $100 — and a swarm of members showed up at the wire to ensure they could keep costs down.
On Thursday night, the eve of the fiscal year, hundreds of members swarmed Brooklyn centers in order to renew their memberships before the price went up.
Workers at the Metropolitan Recreation Center on Bedford Avenue filled out more than 275 membership applications on Thursday alone.
But those who did not fill out their forms on time or showed up Friday morning to renew saw the price double.
Williamsburg resident Juliette Mapp, who purchased a six-month membership on Friday, said she was going to come Thursday, but her son took a long nap.
"I got screwed," said Mapp. "It's a big jump, but it's still absolutely the cheapest deal in the neighborhood."
Many members said they would just pay the fees since it would help keep the centers open.
"I'll be able to afford it," said Carroll Gardens resident Geoff Wilson "Doubling it is a stretch but I'd rather the pool stay open than have it closed or go into disrepair."
A Parks and Recreation Department spokeswoman blamed the city's lack of money on the price hike.
"All agencies are required to reduce spending and increase revenues," said Parks spokeswoman Megan Lalor. "Despite the fee increases, our recreation center memberships remain the most affordable deal in town."
Not everyone agrees.
Any increase of recreational fees, which are important to the health of all New Yorkers, is crazy," said McCarren Tennis founder Sean Hoess, who said he would not join a city gym after the price increase. "The only thing I can afford now is tennis."
And Angelo Melendez, who works out at the Red Hook Recreation Center, said he wasn't a fan of the hike.
"It was very affordable before," said Melendez. "I think they should keep it at a real reasonable price for everybody."
There are 25,721 members of eight city recreation centers in Brooklyn.
Gym fees for seniors, a bargain basement $25, remained unchanged, and children under the age of 17 can still use city fitness center for free.
But fees for other public facilities, such as tennis courts, have already increased from $100 to $200 for the season.

HEADLINE STORY
My turban reminds me to protect and serve: Met Police Sikh Association chair Ravjeet Gupta
By: Chandrashekar Bhat
Met Police Sikh Association chair Ravjeet Gupta has said his turban reminds him to protect and serve.
In a blog published on the Met Police website following the 25th anniversary of the Association, Gupta spoke about the role his faith plays in keeping London safe.
He said Sikhism believes "in one creator who exists in all of us and "we aim to connect that 'one' inside us all, in order to protect and serve everyone."
He also recalled how the association which now has about 650 members came into being after the idea was conceived at a Punjabi restaurant in London 25 years ago.
He wrote: "Twenty-five years ago, enveloped by the warmth and tandoori aromas inside London's oldest Punjab restaurant, a small group of Sikh police officers and staff, passionate about their faith, community and fighting crime, founded the Met Police Sikh Association (MPSA).
"The association would be a support network for the ever-growing number of Sikhs joining 'the job'. Its members would help make the Met more Sikhi-savvy and better qualified to serve the capital's Sikh community, which today totals more than 125,000 people.
"When the MPSA was formed, it had been only 27 years since the then Home Secretary James Callaghan approved Sikh police officers wearing the darstaar – or turban – on duty.
"Met Special Constable Harbans Singh Jabbal was the first to go on patrol in a turban, less than a year later. That was a landmark moment – an acknowledgement of and respect for the diversity of the people within the uniform and the people they, and every other police officer in London, were there to protect.
"Having the option to wear a darstaar 'on the beat' is exceptionally important to Sikh police officers – the turban is a constant reminder of God's presence and the high moral standards he expects of us. High standards which should be in the forefront of every police officer's mind, irrespective of faith.
"Fellow Sikhs will recognise many core values in our faith that mirror those we should hold to in policing, not least of all seva, the principle of protecting others and giving back to the community. We also value equality and acceptance of all, irrespective of faith, rank or who is the police officer in a situation.
"Speaking to other Sikhs every day, I know many are rightly troubled that some officers haven't upheld these values. In 2022, seeing a police officer in a dastaar is not enough to bridge the divide this kind of betrayal of trust creates – a divide that if not addressed will see fewer people turn to the police for help, to assist us or to choose us as an employer.
"The MPSA supports the Commissioner in his drive to achieve more trust, less crime and high standards. We share his determination that this will be done – and can only be done – by connecting better with communities.
"This week, to mark 25 years of the MPSA and more than 50 years of Sikhs in the Met, we invited Sikh Londoners to New Scotland Yard to meet senior officers and some of the 650 MPSA members helping keep people safe in really varied roles such as counter-terrorism investigations, local policing and victim care.
"We were delighted to be played devotional music by talented children from the Atam Academy in Redbridge and surrounded by the vibrant and thought-provoking artwork of local Sikh artists.
"It was a celebration of Sikh culture inside and outside the Met and also a moment to have candid conversations about crime and policing. It was an opportunity to reflect on how far the Met and the Sikh community in London has come, but how much further we could and should go.
"In Sikhi, we believe in one creator who exists in all of us, who is free of gender, religion, nationality or sexual orientation. We aim to connect that 'one' inside us all, in order to protect and serve everyone.
"You don't have to be Sikh to value the notion of everyone uniting to help the community; and any one of us – police officer or member of the public – can start the conversations that will help create change," Gupta wrote.
Scotland Yard acknowledged the MPSA is one of many staff associations in the Met representing diversity in faith, gender, sexuality, ethnicity and disability.

Discover The Magic Formula To Calm Driving Test Nerves!
Driving test nerves affect an overwhelming majority of learner drivers, but the irony is that most of them pass out with flying colors! If you are one among those, be assured that you are not alone or the only one. The magic trick is to use the nerves to your advantage to increase your performance. It is a fact that adrenaline released in the body keeps you alert and focused. Driving instructors ask the students to stay calm and focus on the successes in life and believe in the positive.
Driving lessons at Partick always ensure that the learner drivers get as much driving practice as possible. Coaches see to that students experience as many driving situations as possible before they attend the test.
Practical Driving Test and the Hurdles to Be Crossed!
Practical driving test aims at making sure that a driver is competent and good in the basic skills of driving. Driving instructors at Partick prepare their students to perform well in these tests and have indeed shown a high pass rate. Firstly, students are required to pass an eyesight test. This involves reading a new style number plate from a distance of 20 meters. In case of old style number plates, the distance varies to 20.5 meters. On failing to do this, the practical test grinds to a halt and moves no further.
Next, the driving examiner conducts the 'show me tell me' test. He asks the candidate two questions, one 'show me' question and the other 'a tell' me question. There are 19 different possible questions that can be asked in 18 different combinations! These questions test the depth of the knowledge of the student with regards to basic car maintenance and safety.
A Drive in Various Driving Situations!
Candidates are expected to drive for approximately 40 minutes in various roads and situations. They are asked to showcase two or three reversing maneuvers and perform an emergency stop. Next, is the test of independent driving where the student's ability to make quick decisions are evaluated.
Students should be able to avoid committing any serious or dangerous faults. And in case of minor errors, 15 driving errors should not be exceeded. Minor errors include faults that do not pose any immediate danger like for example, hesitating too long at a junction, etc. Serious faults include students making recurring driving faults or exhibiting their ignorance in performing a driving maneuver.
Driving lessons at Partick are designed in such a way that students are able to pass their driving tests as quickly and cheaply as possible. The focus is always on quality over quantity and with the help of driving instructors who display a green badge, indicating their high standards.
The writer has operated as one of the most successful driving instructors in Partick for over 20 years. He is the local instructor with excellent knowledge and expertise to guide you to driving test success!

Denzel Washington's The Equalizer remains one of the most anticipated (read: only promising) films in the lineup of September releases - and not without good reason. The movie sees Denzel re-teaming with his Training Day director Antonie Fuqua for a dark and violent reboot of the 1980s Equalizer TV series - and with Fuqua coming off of the gritty throwback action flick Olympus Has Fallen, action fans are understandably hopeful that The Equalizer will deliver something worthwhile.
In addition to having Washington in the lead and Fuqua at the helm, The Equalizer also boast a solid cast in the form of Chloe Grace Moretz (If I Stay), Bill Pullman (Edge of Tomorrow), Melissa Leo (Prisoners) and Marton Csokas (Amazing Spider-Man 2) as the villain.
As stated, we're not hoping for a reinvention of the action movie wheel with this one - just some throwback fun, with Denzel supplying his cool-as-ice badass persona. If we get that much, we'll consider The Equalizer a worthwhile franchise reboot.

Health Hires Job Board
Educators Benefit Board Expects $700,000 Surplus
The latest figures are based on expenditures through August of this year and represent a 50-day working capital balance
Mary Sasaki
logo-V_10.jpg
November 15, 2010 -- While state agencies slash expenses and struggle to achieve mandatory budget cuts, the Oregon Educators Benefit Board is projecting a budget surplus of more than half a million dollars
The surplus is based on expenditures through August of this year, 14 months into the biennium.
"OEBB's on target to end the 2009-2011 biennium at or below budget," Financial Coordinator Ali Hassoum told the Business and Operations Workgroup Nov. 10. He projects an ending cash balance of $708,032, which is approximately a 50-day working capital balance.
"This is slightly ahead of our 45-day target," said Hassoum, who reminded the workgroup that the new biennium budget beginning next July "will start at zero again."
Actual expenditures through August totaled $4.7 million of the original $10.5 million budget, he said. Summarizing an open enrollment cost comparison for 2009 and 2010, toll-free telephone expenses decreased by 55 percent (from $5,800 in 2009 to $2,600 in 2010) due to a 60 percent decrease in the number of minutes (154,000 minutes in 2009 and 96,500 minutes in 2010).
Travel costs, on the other hand, rose by more than half, up 55 percent (from $8,484 in 2009 to $11,353 in 2010), largely due to employees attending more insurance committee meetings. "My opinion is that's money well-spent," said Chair Michael Cannarella. "It's the cost of doing business."
Printing costs also rose, up 28 percent (from $47,000 in 2009 to $60,000 in 2010) because of additional communication sent to members and potential members.
Hassoun reminded the group that OEBB's debt service payments of nearly $1 million per biennium will sunset next biennium, with payments of $438,181 in 2011, $497,140 in 2012 and $499,416 in 2013.
"Unfortunately, there's no way to pre-pay that (the debt service)," due to penalties, Hassoum said. Ending the debt service means the board can consider lowering its administrative fee during budget deliberations next spring.
The workgroup also considered a request from Mount Hood Community College to extend health benefits to employees working less than half-time. Negotiations between the college and the part-time employees bargaining unit resulted in the college's request for health insurance eligibility through OEBB for 129 eligible employees on a self-pay basis.
While the college asked for coverage from four medical plans (three from ODS, one from Kaiser Permanente), four dental plans (two from ODS, one from Kaiser and one from Willamette Dental), and four ODS vision plans, "a more limited set of plan offerings and the use of tiered premiums" was recommended by OEBB staff and Towers Watson consultants -- three medical plans (one from Kaiser, two from ODS), three dental plans (one each from Kaiser, ODS and Willamette Dental), and two vision plans (one each from Kaiser and ODS).
"While we don't believe that adding this particular group of 129 people to the OEBB pool will have a significant financial impact on the insurance pool, this decision potentially sets precedence for other future requests the Board may receive," according to OEBB staff.
Deputy Administrator Denise Hall agreed, noting that the overall impact of such a small group would be minimal. The full board will review the workgroup's recommendation for approval, cautioning the need to look carefully at the future impact when more of the state's 17 community colleges make similar requests. "We probably should have that conversation at the board level," Cannarella said.

Latest S&T policy developments thanks to Andy Reamer
Ten dialogue methods for...
Reminder - SciTS 2022 Call for...
Wagner, Caroline
1 Aug 2022 1 Aug '22
From: Andrew Reamer <areamer@gwu.edu<mailto:areamer@gwu.edu>> Date: Sun, Jul 31, 2022 at 5:02 PM Subject: ISA Federal Industrial Policy Update -- July 31, 2022 To: Industry Studies Association listserv <industrystudiesassociation@lists.wsu.edu<mailto:industrystudiesassociation@lists.wsu.edu>> Happy Sunday, everyone. This week's headline, of course, is the passage of the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.aeaweb.org/forum/2841/chips…4$>. While the focus of media attention, understandably, was on the bill's CHIPS Division, focused specifically on expanding U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, the far larger Science part of the act (the Research and Innovation Division) provided a new, expansive, and ambitious framework for U.S. industrial competitiveness going forward. In particular, the bill: * Substantially reshaped four key federal R&D agencies -- DOE Office of Science, NIST, NSF, and NASA. * Authorized a new NSF Directorate for Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP)"to advance research and development, technology development, and related solutions to address United States societal, national, and geostrategic challenges, for the benefit of all Americans." * Authorized a new National Engineering Biology Research and Development Initiative. * Sought to boost federally-funded technology transfer. * Sought to broaden participation in science among underrepresented populations. * Laid out a framework for crafting and implementing a national science and technology strategy. Connecting dots across the 1,054-page bill, the newly mandated approach to a national S&T strategy works as follows: * By December 31, 2023, and every four years thereafter, the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) shall conduct a Quadrennial Science and Technology Review, "a comprehensive examination of the science and technology strategy of the United States, including recommendations for maintaining global leadership in science and technology and advancing science and technology to address the societal and national challenges and guidance regarding the coordination of programs, assets, capabilities, budget, policies, and authorities across all Federal research and development programs." (Section 10613) * By December 31, 2024, OSTP shall submit to Congress a comprehensive National Science and Technology Strategy "to meet national research and development objectives for the following 4-year period." The strategy shall "include a description of strategic objectives and research priorities necessary to maintain and advance the leadership of the United States in science and technology, including in key technology focus areas, . . . [and] in technologies required to address societal and national challenges . . . ." (Section 10611) * The NSF Director--in consultation with the National Science Board, the head of the new TIP Directorate, and an OSTP-hosted interagency working group (to be described in a moment)--shall annually review and update the list of societal, national, and geostrategic challenges and the list of key technology focus areas that guide the national S&T strategy. In identifying key technology focus areas, the NSF Director is also to consult the Director of National Intelligence and the FBI Director. (Section 10387) * To move things along, Congress set the initial lists: * Societal, National, and Geostrategic Challenges * National security * Manufacturing and industrial productivity * Workforce development and skills gaps * Climate change and environmental sustainability * Inequitable access to education, opportunity, or other services * Key Technology Focus Areas * Artificial intelligence, machine learning, autonomy, and related advances * High performance computing, semiconductors, and advanced computer hardware and software * Quantum information science and technology * Robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing * Natural and anthropogenic disaster prevention or mitigation * Advanced communications technology and immersive technology * Biotechnology, medical technology, genomics, and synthetic biology * Data storage, data management, distributed ledger technologies, and cybersecurity, including biometrics * Advanced energy and industrial efficiency technologies, such as batteries and advanced nuclear technologies, including but not limited to for the purposes of electric generation * Advanced materials science, including composites 2D materials, other next-generation materials, and related manufacturing technologies * The OSTP Director shall establish an interagency working group to "ensure that the activities of different Federal agencies"--specifically, the TIP Directorate, the Department of Commerce (particularly regional technology hubs, Manufacturing USA, and the Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership), the Department of Energy (particularly national laboratories), and "[a]ny other program that . . . involves research development with respect to key technology focus areas"--"enhance and complement, but, as appropriate, do not duplicate, efforts being carried out by another Federal agency . . . ." It all seems quite logical on paper. One might ask: Does the government have the capability to pull it off? Unlike traditional macroeconomic policy's reliance on a small group of highly credentialed experts, experience suggests that effective industrial policy design and implementation is a widely collaborative and ongoing public-private effort that incorporates contributions from those--at all levels--in federal agencies, trade associations, individual businesses, chambers of commerce, state and local governments, academic institutions, think tanks, and labor organizations. In a way, then, the success of this structured approach to a national competitiveness strategy is on all of us. Which should give readers additional reasons to respond to federal requests for public comments in their respective areas of expertise. That said, the government needs to develop its skills and reflexes in the realms of information gathering and analysis and relationship- and consensus-building. And it needs to learn when and how to let go of the long-standing prescriptive and procedures-based Great Society approach to public policy. While Congress was codifying a new paradigm into law, other entities released additional pieces of the national competitiveness puzzle: * The Senate Foreign Relations Committee held a hearing on U.S. National Security And Economic Statecraft: Ensuring U.S. Global Leadership For The Twenty-First Century<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.foreign.senate.gov/heari…l$>. * The State Department signed a Supply Chain Memorandum of Understanding With "Alliance for Development in Democracy" Countries: U.S., Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Panama<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.state.gov/signing-of-supp…v$>. * The Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security invited comments on National Security and Critical Technology Assessments of the U.S. Industrial Base<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2022-…b$>. * GAO issued reports on: * Semiconductor Supply Chain<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.aeaweb.org/forum/2839/semi… * Reliability and Replicability of Federally-funded Research<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.aeaweb.org/forum/2851/r… * CRS published a report on Federal Research Tax Credit: Current Law and Policy Issues<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.aeaweb.org/forum/2840/fed…2$>. * BEA released U.S. Direct Investment Abroad/Foreign Direct Investment in the U.S., by Country and Industry, 2021<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.bea.gov/news/blog/2022-07-2…y$>. * The Census Bureau has a new experimental dataset, Business Dynamics Statistics of U.S. Goods Traders<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.aeaweb.org/forum/2852/bu…o$>.
