In: Springer Nature eBookSummary: This book discusses the extent to which Thomas Piketty's work can offer a model for ancient economic history, both methodologically and politically. The book derives from a research workshop in Berlin in April 2018, which brought together a group of established and early career scholars to discuss the implications of Piketty's work and related themes for classical antiquity. Key questions reflected in the text include:d: How should we characterise the 'development' of the economy/economies of the classical Mediterranean, in relation to the role of 'capital' and the prevalence of inequality? How was wealth, both public and private, evaluated and managed? How much of the wealth of their society did the ancient 1% control - and is their dominance better understood in terms of the power of capital, or the role of predation and state capture? How far did certain ancient polities - above all the Greek city-states - succeed in placing limits on the power of the rich and integrating their interests with those of the masses? Did inequality increase between the height of the Roman Principate and late antiquity, as is often believed? This book will be valuable reading for academics and students working in economic history, ancient history, and other related fields. Max Koedijk has recently completed his PhD at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, focusing on the exchange of property in the late Roman Republic. His research interests include real estate markets, incentive- and information-structures, and evolutionary models, especially relating to status-seeking behaviour. Neville Morley is Professor of Classics & Ancient History at the University of Exeter, UK. His research ranges from the economic and social history of classical antiquity, including urbanisation, slavery, trade and agriculture, to the modern reception of the ancient world in the social sciences, especially the influence of the Greek historian Thucydides in historiography and political thought.

Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan, University of Cape Town – Fossilized Clues
by Academic Minute 08/20/2015 | 12:01 0 Posted in Archaeology, Biology, Paleontology
Professor Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan is a palaeobiologist and a global expert on the microscopic structure of the bones of extinct and extant vertebrates.
Today, on The Academic Minute, Dr. Chinsamy-Turan explores her research into dinosaur fossils.
Her work has been recognized by several highly acclaimed awards: for example, in 1995 she received a National Research Foundation (NRF) President Award; in 2005 she won the South African Woman of the Year Award, which acknowledges her contribution to science both in terms of research and science communication to the wider public; in the same year she won the "Distinguished Women Scientist Award" from the South African Department of Science and Technology. In 2012 she was awarded the NRF Transformation Award, and in 2013 she was awarded The World Academy of Science's (TWAS) sub-saharan prize for the Popularisation of Science.
Professor Chinsamy-Turan has published extensively – both in international scientific journals (including four publications in Nature and one in Nature Communications) as well as in the popular press.
She holds or has held a number of distinguished positions in her field. She is former president of the Association of South African Women in Science and Engineering (SA WISE), former deputy president of the Academy of Science of South Africa, and she has also served as director of Iziko Museums Natural History Collections (which includes the SA Museum). Prof Chinsamy-Turan currently chairs the advisory boards of Scifest Africa, the biggest science festival in Africa, and she is a member of the advisory board the Cape Town Science Centre. She is Chair of the Romer-Simpson Prize Committee of the US-based Society of Vertebrate Palaeontology, and serves as a board member for the Jurassic Foundation (US). She is also a Fellow of the Royal Society of South African, the University of Cape Town and The Word Academy of Sciences.
Her academic book, The Microstructure of Dinosaur Bone – Deciphering Biology Through Fine Scale Techniques, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press, USA (2005) and her popular-level book for children, Famous Dinosaurs of Africa, was published by Struik, SA (2008). Her latest academic book is The Forerunners of Mammals: Radiation. Histology. Biology (2012, Indiana University Press, USA), and her recent popular-level book is Fossils for Africa, published in 2014 by Cambridge University Press.

I was the first person to deduce growth curves for dinosaurs more than 20 years ago. I studied two species of 190-million-year-old dinosaurs (Massospondylus and Syntarsus) from Southern Africa that were well represented by different sized individuals. I took thin slivers of their bones (about half the thickness of a single strand of hair) and examined these under a microscope. I found that even after millions of years of fossilisation, the dinosaur bones preserved their microstructure.
Much to my surprise, I discovered that dinosaurs grew in annual spurts that resulted in growth rings (like tree rings) in their bones. By counting the number of growth rings, I was able to deduce the age of each individual. And since I had different sized individuals, I could plot their femur lengths against their "age" to derive growth curves for each dinosaur.

Since then, this methodology has been applied to several other dinosaurs. Studies by other researchers and my own work have revealed that non-avian dinosaurs did not grow as rapidly as most modern mammals and birds, but definitely grew faster than typical reptiles such as crocodiles and alligators.
Furthermore, studies of the bone microstructure of dinosaurs and other extinct animals are increasingly revealing fascinating information about their skeletal response to reproduction, and to disease and infections, giving us exceptional insight into the lives of extinct animals.

Charles Haynes returned as a speaker to Meher Center on November 10, 2007 after a long absence and was greeted with a standing ovation by what looked like over 100 people. The occasion for his talk was the 45th anniversary of the East-West Gathering, a meeting of Meher Baba with His Eastern and Western followers at Guru Prasad (house of the Maharani of Baroda) in Pune, India, in early November 1962. Charles first met Meher Baba as a boy in Myrtle Beach in 1958 and was 13 when he attended the East-West Gathering with his mother, Jane Barry Haynes, and sister Wendy and brother John.
Charles said that he has no idea what work Meher Baba was doing at this Sahavas: "It falls under that wonderful heading, 'Universal Work'" — the spiritual work Baba did to change consciousness of individuals and the world at large. The results unfold and need no explanation. Charles can only speak personally about what the East-West Gathering was like for him, because what else can you talk about but what you saw and felt, the stories that give hints of His fragrance, little clues to who he is as we try to pick up his scent in our minds and hearts? Every moment with Baba is a story that has some meaning for all time. As there are so many moments, Charles decided to focus on just four: the first glance, the last glimpse, and two moments in between.
On October 31, 1962, 144 Westerners arrived in Pune. Baba saw the women and then the men separately. Charles vividly remembers the tremendous anxiety he had about the meeting with Baba. He was deeply concerned that "he wouldn't be Baba." It had been four years since Charles had first met Baba in Myrtle Beach at age 8. So much had happened since that time, and Charles felt he had come to know internally what he thought of as "my Baba." He joked: "I'm sure your Baba is perfectly nice, but I had my own." He felt he was closer to Baba; he wrote little poems and letters to him, and when walking through the woods he would speak to him. But now they were to meet Baba in the flesh. What if he was not the same one Charles had grown so close to?
As each man arrived before Baba, Eruch was there to recall the person, where he was from, what orders Baba had given him — because although Baba was the All-Knowing One, like an ordinary human being he did not know such details in that way. He knew, but he didn't know. It has been observed that this had the effect of making people feel comfortable and natural with Baba.
When Eruch exclaimed, "Charles, Baba!" Baba gestured the sign made by forming a circle with his index finger and thumb. Every time he saw Charles thereafter, he did that. Then Baba exclaimed, "How you've grown!" Charles ran to embrace Baba. "I had the presence of mind to remember what I was going to do. I could not remember how he felt in 1958, so now I was going to remember how it feels. I put my cheek next to his and rubbed it very hard. Fortunately I'd not started shaving yet. Baba had a very close shave. I did the same on the other cheek. I can still feel that skin. . . . I may have missed a greater experience, but I'm so happy I did it." Baba made a gesture that seemed to ask: What was that?
Charles's favorite moment that he often recalls was the only time he was ever alone with Baba. "I love the lengths he goes to orchestrate these things." Charles had learned that the girls wanted to walk to Guru Prasad in the morning to be there early, and asked Mehera's permission, because if she said they could come early, it would trump whatever Baba had said. So they wisely asked her. Charles was upset that they would get there before him, and he couldn't ask Mehera, since males over 7 weren't allowed to see her or speak with her, by Baba's order.
Normally Charles was reticent and introverted about a lot of things, but now he got the courage and was determined to find a way to go early. He never thought he'd end up asking Baba himself, but he knew Eruch was a softie, so during the darshan in the afternoon he rushed up to Eruch and blurted out that the girls had gotten permission to come early and he wanted to come early too. Eruch said, "I don't know, you have to ask Him." Eruch actually interrupted the Sahavas. Everyone was leaning forward, wondering what the big deal was about — the boy must be having a major crisis. Charles's legs were rubbery. He blurted out his request and Eruch translated it into Gujarati. Baba was rubbing his chin and frowning. He looked up at Eruch as if the world were on his shoulders. What to do? Finally Baba said yes, you can go early, then opened his arms and gave Charles a hug — a bonus!
Charles entered the room, empty except for Baba seated on the sofa. "I'd never seen him alone before — no garlands, no people, no mandali, no interpreter — all alone, looking at me." It was a long room, and somehow Charles had to get from the door to Baba. He was very unsteady on his feet but put one foot in front of the other and finally reached him and said, "Good morning, Baba." Baba looked at Charles, who couldn't speak another word, nor could Baba speak, of course (since he was silent). "I'd never looked into Baba's eyes before," Charles said. "He didn't give one the opportunity — his eyes were moving rapidly all the time. . . . I have no words for this, but the best I can say is, the feeling was that he is complete in himself and needs nothing. He is everything, and there is no separation between us. He is not his Discourses, the mandali, the Center, India . . . he is none of that, he is not even Meher Baba. It will be what we experience in our hearts — not what he says or looks like — that will give him away next time when he comes again. Only that recognition — "It's You!" — that's what I felt in that moment. Elizabeth used to say that we all try to limit Baba, but no one can limit him.
Charles doesn't know how long he stayed — it seemed like forever. At some point Baba smiled and gestured, "Enough." There was another hug, and the next thing Charles remembers is being out on the porch.
So that was the first moment.
It was the last morning and they would have to say goodbye to Baba. Purdom said out loud what many were feeling: that they'd never see him again physically. Charles was feeling that he would like to touch Baba's feet — he'd had this feeling through the whole gathering. Charles thought there would be no opportunity, even though Easterners had done it (although Baba didn't encourage this). He felt awkward and shy and didn't want to be intrusive, even though he sat near Baba on the floor and could have done it.
So that last day Charles was thinking about it. Baba said to Purdom: Why are you sad?, and Purdom said because it's the last day. Baba didn't like that. During the middle of the morning He took everyone outside because his brother Behram was going to take films. Eruch called, "Charles," as we were about to go out. Charles didn't look up, thinking he meant Charles Purdom. Then Eruch repeated, "Charles!" and he saw Eruch and Baba looking at him. "Charles, Baba says will you remove my sandals?" In that moment Charles knew for all time that Baba knows every heart — even though he asks: Where are you from? How did you sleep?
Charles had to lift Baba's feet and was very careful holding his foot, aware of his hip pain and wanting not to hurt him. He put the sandals aside (Baba had only put them on because he had gone outside).
Then it was time to say farewell — a heart-wrenching moment. Many had held back, hoping to stretch the moment, but there's nothing you can do to make it last longer; you can only take that last embrace. So Charles went up to receive his embrace. His mother, Jane, was very nervous and upset. Baba told her not to be anxious, and he said to all: I am the Christ. Open your eyes and you will see me as I really am. Then he sat back looking small and helpless.
Baba gestured to Eruch, who said: "Charles, Baba wants to know where are his sandals?" Somehow they'd gotten pushed under the sofa. Charles found them and got them back on Baba's feet. "I have no memory of how I did that!" Much later, what came to Charles about the sandals was what John the Baptist said of Jesus: I am not fit to unlace his sandals.
Baba got up and made his way out of the room, looking very vulnerable; his suffering was very apparent to Charles. The white figure moved slowly through the crowd without any help, and Charles felt, Yes, he is the Christ. He comes and he breaks himself for us.
So now he was gone from the room. They'd given up and accepted his final departure. Some people stayed to see the Tomb and other places — Baba arranged the excursion. Then word came to the hotel that Baba was leaving town and would be under the tree in the Bund Garden. He always sat under that tree before leaving Pune. So he said they could come see him there. This unexpected gift was pure joy. It seemed that when one had resigned oneself and accepted Baba's will, then the reprieve would come.
It was on November 10, 1962, that they had that final glimpse of his physical form. There was a large crowd, some 1,000 people. Baba was beaming happily. He had said there should be no questions. He asked Charles, "Where is your mother?" It was the first time in the week that Charles even thought about where she was. He replied, "I don't know, Baba." At that moment Baba found her in the crowd between Elizabeth and Kitty. He pointed to Jane, emphatically putting forth three fingers.
When Baba got into the car, Charles wanted to get close to him one more time. Apparently everyone else had the same thought, so the car couldn't move. Baba's face was at the window, smiling at all. Just before the car broke through the crowd, Charles reached the window and said, "Goodbye, Baba." Baba pointed at him and said, "Be happy." "Not an easy thing," Charles observed; "I'm still not able to do it. It's one of the hardest things he asked of us, to be happy." Baba made the circle with his thumb and forefinger, a gesture that was never interpreted. What Charles felt when he did it was tremendous acceptance, 100 percent. It was like a challenge to become perfect (that is, whole) in his love. You are called to be who you really are, which is who he is.
I am that drop that has swallowed the whole ocean. If you were to really love me, maybe one day you will see me as I really am, Love me wholeheartedly and you might one day get a glimpse of my Reality.
Thank you for Charles' story. It was great to read.

Man Suffers Life-Threatening Burns In 2-Alarm Fire
Dozens Evacuated In Glen Burnie Senior Apartment Fire
A two-alarm fire Wednesday night at a senior apartment building in Anne Arundel County seriously burned a man.County fire officials said the fire ignited at Pinewood East Apartment Building in the 7900 block of Benesch Circle in Glen Burnie at about 6:45 p.m.Fire officials said a man between 50 and 60 years of age was flown to the Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn Center with serious and potentially life-threatening second- and third-degree burns. Residents described the victim as a man in his 90s."From what we could see, he was pretty well-burned from the foot all the way up to the one side," said Frank Brown, a resident. "It's a shame because he's a real nice guy. He really was."It took about 20 minutes for firefighters to contain the fire to the apartment of origin. The fire, smoke and water ultimately damaged four units, but there were no other injuries.Four firefighters en route to the fire were injured in a crash nearby, fire officials said.Officials with the Anne Arundel County Housing Commission, which owns the center, said they were pleased with the orderly effort put forth by its staff to safely evacuate the residents."We started coordinating within minutes to get them to safe locations. Staff stayed here all night and kept everybody comfortable. Some (residents have) special needs. So, we had to account for them and we're doing that again today," said Cliff Martin, the commission's CEO.A cause remained under investigation Wednesday night.

The Moose River's source starts high in Adirondack National Park and makes its way through the counties of Hamilton, Herkimer and Lewis before finally joining the Black River. Located two hours from Syracuse, and 2 1/2 hours from Albany, the Moose River is a fantastic New York whitewater rafting destination. Rafting enthusiasts of all kinds will enjoy the Moose River because it features two very different sections of white water runs.
The most popular section of the Moose River is the Middle Moose, near Old Forge, about five hours north of New York City. Families, youth groups, and whitewater lovers of all ages frequent the Middle Moose section of the Moose River. Class I-III rapids offer fun and excitement for first-time rafters and veterans alike.
The Moose River's Lower section offers a completely different New York rafting experience. The Lower section is an intense and action-packed whirlwind of Class IV-V rapids that will test the skills of adrenaline seekers. The Lower Moose's challenging whitewater requires that rafters attempting its fast water and big drops have had previous Class IV experience and are in good physical shape.
Middle Moose River rafting trips are offered throughout the spring and summer while Lower Moose River rafting is only available when the snow melts in the early spring, typically in April.

Anirudh Singh and Paul Rutherford were the leading lights with bat and ball as Ashington won another absorbing game of cricket in a nail biting finale against Lanchester at Langwell Crescent on Saturday.
Singh took two wickets before stroking a match-winning unbeaten 84.
Meanwhile Rutherford claimed four victims then played a crucial role in an unbroken ninth wicket stand of 35 with Singh as the pair took their side to victory.
Home skipper Greg Williams had called right on the toss and asked the visitors to take first strike before matters got under way in a reduced contest of 40 overs per side following heavy overnight rain and thunderstorms.
Callum Storey struck twice in his first three overs, removing Ramshaw and Patterson, both lbw victims, before Nidamanuru and Greg Halliday led a recovery.
They added 39 before the former steered a ball from Singh straight to Ben O'Brien at point.
Even so, Halliday was going well, and partnered by Graham Brinton, Lanchester advanced to 75 by the half way mark.
In the 22nd over, Halliday hoisted Singh and was well caught inside the long on boundary by Stephen Boyd, and when Rutherford struck twice in the 29th over to remove Brinton and Reynolds, the visitors were 103-6.
Rutherford tasted more success with Sanderson and Taylor being pouched by Callum Storey and Jack Jessop respectively, then after a brief flurry of runs, brilliant fielding by Jessop and O'Brien resulted in run outs for skipper McPhail and Petch with direct hits.
Lanchester were bowled out for 136 from the third ball of the 39th over.
Nidamanuru posed a threat when he opened the bowling and in the fifth over he removed Neil Wood leg before.
Singh and Jessop took the score to 64 before Nidamanuru struck again, capturing the wicket of Jessop for 13.
Next over O'Brien was trapped by Sanderson and departed without scoring, but in the 18th over, Singh completed his half century out of an Ashington score of 76-3.
Lanchester got their tails up when left arm spinner Brinton sent back Daniel Grant, Boyd, Williams and Matty and Callum Storey, the brothers going in consecutive deliveries as the hosts tumbled to 102-8.
Rutherford then joined Singh and the pair led the Wansbeck side home after a tense battle.
On Saturday, Ashington are away to Alnmouth & Lesbury.

Boxing Jake Paul reveals Secret Service trouble after White House stunt
Jake Paul reveals Secret Service trouble after White House stunt
YouTuber turned Boxer Jake Paul got a less than friendly visit from the Secret Service after doing something cheeky at the White House.
YouTuber turned professional boxer Jake Paul has shared details of his intimidating run-in with Secret Service after a bold video stunt landed him in their bad books.
Paul was in 2017 invited by then US president Barack Obama to an event at the White House with a group of fellow popular content creators.
In a bid to get more views that his peers, Paul decided he would film himself overstaying his welcome at the famous residence.
"I was just like, hey, all these influencers are going here. There's 30 of them. They're all gonna be making a vlog. And I thought to myself, how could I make my vlog better than theirs? I'm gonna sleep in the White House," he told comedian Andrew Schulz's podcast Flagrant this week.
In line with a popular YouTube trend at the time which involved influencers trying to stay overnight at venues including Target and Walmart, Paul decided to try the stunt at the White House.
"I snuck away into a bathroom and just stood in there until like 4 or 5am," he told Schulz.
"And nobody noticed nothing?" the host asked.
"Not a peep … I walk out the front door and posted the video. And that's when they found out," Paul said.
About six hours after uploading his video to YouTube, where it was watched more than 13 million times, the Secret Service showed up at his front door.
"They showed up at my front door … Like the actual Secret Service showed up," Paul said.
"They just tried to intimidate me and be like, 'Take the video down or else. And this, this is a terrible representation. And we're disgraced that you did this and you're never gonna be able to come back to the White House and you need to take the video down right now.'
"I was like, 'I had permission to be there. I had permission to film. I'm sorry. I'm not taking the video down.'"
He claimed his dad Greg also stepped in to back him up.
"Greg Paul was there and he goes 'You should be thanking him. He found the flaw in your f***ing system,'" Paul said.
The video, titled WHITE HOUSE 24 HR OVERNIGHT CHALLENGE *NOT CLICKBAIT*, is still live on Paul's channel and has more than 66,000 comments.

BGP Routing Interoperability
Simplifies transition of legacy branch to SD-WAN and enables a thin branch
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to exchange routing and reachability information connecting end points together like branches and data centers as well as multihoming for a better redundancy.
As the adoption of SD-WAN accelerates, organizations realize that they can't transition every site overnight. It's critical that migration to SD-WAN be accomplished gracefully and at a pace that doesn't put the business at risk.
BGP routing interoperability provides several benefits to SD-WAN migration and deployments at branch offices and in the data center. To allow customers to migrate to an SD-WAN at their own pace, seamless interoperability with sites or zones not yet on the SD-WAN is imperative.
To reduce migration complexity and the potential for human errors, BGP interoperability enables the automated learning of subnets without having to manually program them.
And for new "greenfield" branch office locations or branches ready for a router refresh, EdgeConnect BGP routing can eliminate the requirement to install a separate router, simplifying the branch WAN edge infrastructure. With fully integrated routing, basic firewalling and optional WAN optimization, customers can now migrate to SD-WAN at their own pace and achieve the operational efficiencies of a Thin Branch. The thin branch is the new branch WAN architecture of the cloud-enabled branch office that is simplified for enterprise IT infrastructure, through the orchestration of consolidated network functions based on business intent.

Dominic Sonic, stage name of Dominique Garreau (11 November 1964 – 23 July 2020) was a French singer. He released six albums from 1989 to 2015.

Biography
Sonic left school at the age of 16 to join Lamballe-based punk group Kalashnikov. He remained with the group for six years and performed in over 300 concerts. In 1987, he began producing his first solo album, Cold Tears, which was released two years later by the Belgian label Crammed Discs. The album sold more than 40,000 copies in Europe. Sonic also released a mini-album, titled A s'y méprendre with Crammed Discs.

Philippe Constantin, director of Barclay, purchased Sonic's contract from Crammed Discs. He released an untitled album in 1991 for Barclay. After an accident while on tour in Hungary, Sonic stayed in a hospital for six months. This eventually led to the release of the album Les Leurres in 1994.

Sonic left Barclay in 1996 and released Essais 94-96 under his own label and distributed by Musidisc before it was bought out by Universal Music Group.

Dominic Sonic took part in the Rencontres Trans Musicales in Rennes in 2002 as a surprise guest of The Stooges. He attended numerous other festivals throughout the 2000s decade. He released Phalanstère # 7 on 15 October 2007, his 5th album. In January 2008, he performed alongside Jackie Berroyer in Nantes in the play La loi des pauvres gens, which was named after one of his songs. In 2009, Sonic performed alongside guitarist Vincent Sizorn for the 20th anniversary of the release of Cold Tears. Between 2010 and 2014, he participated in the reunification of Nus. He and the group founded the AK47 Blues Rendez-vous, which released the album The Octopus. While working on the future album of Olivier Delacroix, he released Vanités#6 in Spring 2015.

Dominic Sonic died on 23 July 2020 in Les Lilas.

New Studio for UTDesign Program Aims to Nurture Big Ideas
By Office of Media Relations •Feb. 6, 2014
Members of the eBike team work on their UTDesign project in a secured project room.
Bigger may translate to even better for the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science's award-winning senior design program.
UT Dallas leaders recently opened a new studio for the UTDesign program, the corporate-sponsored capstone senior design program. At more than 30,000 square feet, the studio is one of the largest in the country, program leaders say. The studio houses 29 project stations, which can be expanded to 56. The studio includes a computer lab, machine shop, seven conference rooms (including a Cisco TelePresence room), five secured project lab rooms, a seminar room and more than $550,000 in state-of-the-art equipment donated by local companies.
The program started in 2009 with just six projects in electrical engineering. It now boasts more than 40 multidisciplinary projects each semester in computer science, and computer, electrical, software, telecommunications and mechanical engineering. UTDesign collaborates with students from the University's Naveen Jindal School of Management and Arts and Technology (ATEC) program.
When biomedical engineering seniors join UTDesign next year, all of the engineering and computer science programs will be together in one facility. Last semester, UTDesign received the Tech Titan of the Future Award from the Metroplex Technology Business Council, the largest technology trade association in Texas.
"I have been involved with engineering education and senior design for more than 30 years, and I can sincerely say I have never seen better students or better projects than I have seen the past years at UT Dallas," said Mark W. Spong, dean of the Jonsson School and founder of the UTDesign program. "Our new studio marks the beginning of a new phase in UTDesign. With these facilities, the student outcomes and quality of the projects can only get better."
Dr. Mark W. Spong (front, left), founder of UTDesign and dean of the Jonsson School, and Dr. Hobson Wildenthal, the University's executive vice president and provost, officially open the project lab.
The open design project room has already inspired Alejandro Hernandez Jr., a mechanical engineering senior and member of the UT Dallas BattleBot Team.
"I love it," Hernandez said of the new studio. "It is a big space, so it fits big ideas."
One UTDesign team moved into one of the secure project rooms before the official launch. Team members are known for spending any spare time in the new studio.
"If we are not in class, we are over here," said James Smiley, an electrical engineering senior and member of the eBike team.
Their eBike project is sponsored by Texas Instruments and is housed in a project room accessible only via access code. Such rooms were built for teams working on proprietary projects. John Randall, president of Zyvex Labs and co-chair of the Jonsson School Industrial Advisory Board, said project security is critical for potential corporate sponsors. He also praised UTDesign leadership for finding solutions.
"That fear is largely alleviated because, from the very start, UTDesign leaders had these kinds of projects in mind," he said.
While the studio is primarily for UTDesign students, several engineering student organizations, such as the BattleBot team, will have dedicated space in the studio. Hernandez, the BattleBot team member, said having the space will make them better at building their robot. Before the studio opened, pieces of the 120-pound robot would have to be transported between campus, a student's home garage and a sponsor's corporate office in downtown Dallas.
The studio will also be home for some student organizations, such as the UT Dallas BattleBot team.
The new studio is located at Synergy Park North at 3000 Waterview Parkway in Richardson, and replaces the former studio that was housed in the Waterview Science and Technology Center (WSTC). That space is now used for faculty offices.
"At a time when the most pressing needs and the most challenging problems at UT Dallas are finding space and other resources to accommodate our very rapid growth, the support of Provost (Hobson) Wildenthal and President David Daniel, who enabled the construction of this facility, is truly remarkable and affirms not only their commitment to engineering education, but also their vote of confidence in me, in faculty and students and sponsors," said Dr. Spong, holder of the Lars Magnus Ericsson Chair in Electrical Engineering and the Excellence in Education Chair.
Corporations who sponsored equipment for the new studio include Agilent Technologies, Cisco, HP, MSC Industrial Supply Co., National Instruments, Newark, PTC, Stratasys and Texas Instruments. Equipment donations ranged from a 3-D printer donated by Stratasys, to the first inventory vending machine operated by a tablet created by MSC.
"The studio was designed to expose students to projects, environments and equipment that they will encounter from the moment they step into their new offices following graduation," said Rod Wetterskog, UTDesign program coordinator and assistant dean of corporate relations for the Jonsson School. "This early exposure will give them a competitive edge and help them excel in their future workplaces."

Now Reading: Editorial
Where Have You Gone, Adlai Stevenson?
Louis Dubose Feb 5, 1999, 12:00 am CST
You cannot be a Governor if you do not believe in a Supreme Being.
– George W. Bush
I love George Bush.
– Reverend James Robison
Asked his opinion of the mildly partisan Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, Adlai Stevenson responded that he had "always found Saint Paul appealing and Saint Peale appalling." It's difficult to imagine Governor Bush coming up with a line that memorable. It's also difficult to imagine Reverend Peale taking credit for resurrecting the campaign of any president with whom he had prayed, predicting the election of yet another – or for that matter, recounting a dialogue he recently held with God. ("God said, 'James, you're praying with a greater maturity now.' I said, 'I don't understand, Lord.' He said, 'You were like so many others….'") You might not buy the fundamentalist argument that we live in End Times. But it's hard to argue that we do not live in Odd Times.
James Robison is a fundamentalist Christian preacher who lives in Arlington. His television routine always includes an attack on Roe. v. Wade, the Supreme Court decision guaranteeing women the right to abortion. Robison claims he is the child of a rapist – and that his mother would have sought out an abortion fifty-six years ago, had Roe v. Wade been the law.
In the years since that fateful misstep, he has organized an overseas mission system, taken his sermons to the airwaves, so influenced Ronald Reagan's public policy that Reagan's aides (Robison says) told him how much they resented his influence, and ministered to George Bush, elder and younger. Even by the standards of the televangelists of the eighties and nineties, his preaching tends to the histrionic.
On the morning of the inauguration he was preaching to the converted – including the entire top of the Republican ticket, carried into office two months earlier by George Bush: Comptroller Carole Keeton Rylander, Land Commissioner David
Dewhurst, Ag Commissioner Susan Combs, Attorney General John Cornyn, Lieutenant Governor Rick Perry, and the Governor himself. Also present was most of the Republican legislative caucus – and two Democratic legislators.
The Republicans showed up perhaps because of their religious convictions – but certainly because the Christian Coalition is now an extension of their Party. Coalition voting guides, distributed from pulpits on Sundays before elections, turn out the vote for Republican candidates. The Coalition's under-no-circumstances position on abortion is canonical among Republican legislators. Both the state Party chair Susan Weddington and co-chair David Barton are fundamentalist Christians with ties to the organizers of this event. Indeed, since the fundamentalist Christian takeover of the Republican Party at the 1994 Fort Worth convention, any lines that divided the party from the Coalition have been erased.
No one is more beholden to the Christian Right than Rick Perry. As the chronically buoyant Abilene State Representative Bob Hunter chirped his introductions, Perry stood on the stage, blowing kisses and occasionally waving. His brief remarks included the obligatory line of scripture, but his appearance (like the Governor's) was perfunctory, and both departed before Robison began a lachrymose twenty-minute sermon that had many in the audience weeping at the deathbed of Reverend Robison's adoptive mother.
There will be nothing perfunctory about Perry's support of the Christian Right's
legislative agenda. The extent of Perry's commitment to the religious right's biggest Texas funder, San Antonio physician James Leininger, is explored by Robert Bryce in this issue ("The Pols He Bought," page 11). (David Hartman, founder and president of the bank through which Leininger underwrote Perry, was one of six sponsors of the prayer breakfast.)
For ten years Leininger has been investing huge sums of money in Republican campaigns, focusing on two issues: tort reform and a voucher system that would take money from public schools and use it as private school tuition. (He's also interested in restricting women's access to abortion.) His tactics – beyond spending whatever is necessary to unseat Democratic incumbents who oppose his beliefs and replace them with Republicans who support them – include contributing to selected campaigns of minority, urban Democratic legislators such as Domingo García, Glenn Lewis, Ron Wilson, Harold Dutton – hoping to build a voting coalition among inner-city legislators whose constituents attend the poorest-performing public schools, and Republican representatives who prefer to see all schools ultimately privatized, who regularly vote against public school funding, and who then point to those underfunded schools as examples of public education's failure. For Leininger, Perry's election is a huge return on his investment.
Rick Perry's note is now due.
Democratic House Speaker Pete Laney has also watched Leininger's money erode the Democratic majority. Under the rubric of tort reform, Leininger has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into House races, in a successful effort to restrict individual citizens' ability to sue corporations. Last session, the tort reformers came back for more – but Laney decided they had gotten enough, and appointed Galveston lawyer Patricia Gray, one of the smartest and most skilled members of the House, to chair the committee through which all tort reform legislation had to move. The result was a one-session reprieve from the corporate assault on the civil justice system. Laney is also opposed to vouchers, and it is with great difficulty that voucher legislation moved through the House during recent sessions. But Leininger has not let up, and his spending has helped reduce Laney to the last standing Democrat in Texas, as Republicans control every statewide office, with the Speaker holding onto to his position by a six-member majority.
It appears that the Speaker is at last prepared to engage the Republicans. His call for campaign finance reform in his speech at the beginning of the session bears directly on Leininger's campaign spending. "When the ever-increasing cost of political campaigns is fueled by many millions of dollars from a small number of individuals and groups, it undermines public confidence in our political system," Laney said. And his reluctance to come to terms with vouchers suggests that he is ready for a fight. In the same speech, Laney said that investing in education should be a priority for this Legislature.
Laney does not enjoy the same cordial relationship with Perry as he did with Bob Bullock. Laney is also a skilled legislative tactician whose behind-the-scenes work goes largely unnoticed. So as the session begins, it looks like a contest that will pit Laney's intelligence and integrity against Rick Perry and Jim Leininger's money. Don't count the Speaker out yet. – L.D.
