University History Research
University History Research: Home
A short guide to resources on researching the history of Washington State University, be it student life, departmental or building history, or other topics.
Introduction to Researching WSU's History
Washington State University was authorized in March of 1890 and began teaching classes in January of 1892. The history of the school over the subsequent 125+ years is a common topic of interest to students, community members, and researchers of all types. This page is intended to list a few starting points for your research.
The serious research materials for in-depth papers are usually held in the Washington State University Libraries' Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections, also known as the MASC. However, the more common materials can also be found duplicated in the libraries' bookstacks, and ongoing digitization projects are making many of these resources available online.
Research here is broken up into several categories. Center top is a listing of the few general books written on our university history, with links to help you get access to them. Below that are three categories of research: campus life, departmental or organizational histories, and building histories. In each case, we'll try to provide links to some basic, easily accessible resources, followed by information on more in-depth research.
General University History (Published Books)
If you need a very basic introduction to our University's history, we advise you to start with the three books published circa 1989/1990 for the University centennial:
Creating the People's University, by George Frykman. Link to digital copy. Looks at the academic and administrative development of campus.
Going to Washington State, by William Stimson. Link to digital copy. Looks at student life at WSU.
The Crimson and the Gray, by Richard Fry. Link to digital copy. Looks at WSU athletics.
A few other books cover campus history, though they tend to focus more on the administrative/academic side:
Historical Sketch of the State College of Washington, 1890-1925, by E.A. Bryan. Link to digital copy.
E.O. Holland and the State College, by William Landeen. Link to digital copy.
Leading the Crimson and Gray, by various.
Researching Campus Life
If you're looking at campus life, a number of publications from those periods can be very useful, and we've been working on digitizing many of these. The best are:
The Evergreen. The campus newspaper, dating back to 1895, and preceded by the College Record in 1892-1893. These can be found on microfilm in the regular stacks (call number AN48.P8 C65x), physically in MASC (call number WSU 1), and online (1892-2017).
The Chinook. The campus yearbook. The first issue was published in 1899, the second in 1901, and they've been published every year since. These can be found physically in the regular stacks (call number LD5731.W665 C55x), physically in MASC (call number LD5731 .W65), and online (1899-1992).
The PowWow / Washington State Review / Hilltopics / Washington State Magazine. These publications are all aimed at keeping alumni and other off-campus WSU friends up to date on campus events, so they're a great resource on significant campus events and people. These can be found physically in the regular stacks (call number LD5731.W58 P6), physically in MASC (call numbers WSU 25, 147, 174-175), and online (1914-2000 and 2001-present).
Regional newspapers can also be invaluable resources; digital historic papers include the Pullman Herald, the Pullman Tribune, the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, and the Spokane Spokesman-Review and Spokane Chronicle (the latter two are now only searchable through commercial pay services). If issues or years you need are missing online, please check the WSU Libraries' catalog for microfilm holdings.
Pullman, WSU, and the Palouse Digital Photographs Collection. If you're looking for imagery, this collection of online photographs includes about 2,500 images, about 3/4 of which come from campus. Be aware that this is a small percentage of the 2,000,000 photographs physically held in the MASC - if you don't see what you need there, please do contact the MASC.
The MASC collects and maintains numerous collections of papers, documents, and photographs from individuals, departments, and organizations which are generally much more specific, and also much harder to identify. For help searching for MASC materials please visit the MASC's Access to Materials page or contact MASC at 509-335-6691 / mascref@wsu.edu.
Researching Departmental Histories
If you're doing research into the history of a department, program, or other element of campus, take a look in MASC's digital collection of every known campus departmental history.
Assuming your research topic isn't already in there, or if you want more information, there are a number of potential resources in the University Archives:
These can be found online in Research Exchange as well as physically in the regular stacks, or physically in MASC (call number WSU 4). They include information on courses, programs, and faculty. MASC created a spreadsheet of programs offered year-by-year from these volumes.
Fussers Guides
These campus directories compile addresses and phone numbers for individuals and departments, and are useful for identifying where things were located over time. Found physically in MASC (call number WSU 135).
The MASC collects and maintains numerous collections of papers, documents, and photographs from departments and organizations which are generally much more specific, and also much harder to identify. The majority of these collections can be browsed from our listing of University Archives collections. Organizational names recorded there reflect the organizations' name at the time their papers came to the archives, so please also browse under older departmental names. These guides can also be full-text searched; for help in doing so please visit the MASC's Access to Materials page or contact MASC direct at 509-335-6691 / mascref@wsu.edu.
Researching Building Histories
If you're doing research into the history of a campus building or other physical campus feature, MASC has created a WSU Buildings history page which will give you the basic starting information. The bottom of that page compiles a list of relevant resources for campus building history research, and so we won't repeat that information here!

1981 promotional video for WSU. The MASC holds similar videos from the 1950s to 1990s, plus other school films dating back as far as the 1916 Rose Bowl.

When the dogs barked me into awakedness this morning, I figured that must mean my son was here. They get frenzied, vying for his attention. But to be fair, they pretty much bark me awake every day.
At least it was daylight and I was ready to get up anyway. It isn't always as easy.
Sometimes, they get nibbly by 4 in the morning when I am NOT feeling nibbly or particularly affable. I still give them biscuits, even though they don't deserve it.
It's faster to feed than argue.
I looked at the window and realized some of their frenzy was because two big squirrels were hanging onto the bird feeders.
The dogs don't get excited about birds, but squirrels on the deck? NOT to be tolerated.
Then my son came up the stair and soon had refilled both feeders and the show was one. Birds. This was the entire run of birds. Out came titmice and chickadees.
Red finches and nuthatches. A couple of woodpeckers and a few Sapsuckers (you don't see them often). The feeders had been close to empty, so the word apparently went out and everything with wings showed up for a feeding.
The birds are looking rather fat. I'm sure winter will slim them down, but right now, we have roly-poly birds.
I tapped on the window and the squirrels were so startled, they fell flat on the deck and took off. Those were not thin, hungry squirrels. These are fat, thickly furred healthy squirrels. I don't mind feeding them, but I prefer they not hang on the feeders.
There's plenty of goodies on the flat feeder and the deck. I may get them separate feed as winter comes on, but right now, they seem very content with corn and sunflower seeds.
It's our morning show! Birds fly in from the woods, a few squirrels hang around, the dogs' bark and I try to drink some coffee.
Sometimes, I'm wrong. But sometimes, even when I'm right, I should just shut up about it.
I met Garry at the college radio station at Hofstra College (we didn't become a University until a few years later) in 1963. He was the Program Director and Jeffrey, who I married the following year, was the Station Manager. The two of them were best friends.
Now I'm married to Garry.
I always liked him and I found him VERY attractive. We used to meet for lunch when I worked in Manhattan. He worked at ABC, which was not far. We were friends for a long time … then we were more. Then I divorced Jeffrey and I moved to Israel. Garry wrote me every day for nine years.
We got married when I came back. I still wonder why it took so long, but he says he was married to his career and didn't have time for a life. I'm not buying it.
Go someplace warm and friendly. Not hot. With some gentle water nearby. Bermuda, maybe. Or Corsica.
Raisenets. I never buy them anywhere EXCEPT at the movies. They are a guilty treat.
We have a little tree we put up. On Christmas day, we are usually alone together and we watch old holiday movies. We used to have dinner with family, but I think this year, it will be just Owen. Our world seems to be shrinking.
This week, our town was a smiling place!
We went to the Uxbridge Christmas Parade. It was a nice day, not nearly as cold as it will be tomorrow. It didn't rain and it didn't snow. And the ground was grassy and not all mud.
We took tons of pictures, so here's another happy opportunity to show our little town when everyone looks happy.
How did they get all those people into that little van?
It was like living in a normal town, at least for Christmas.
Back in the 1970s, some clown decided that men were overdressed and need stretchy, comfortable clothing. And thus they invented the polyester leisure suit and to his immense embarrassment, Garry had one. I never saw it, but I know he bought it because he said so and what man would lie about a thing like that? He wore it to work, but I never saw it.
Maybe that is just a well.
Except Garry is such a clothes horse, he rarely admits it.
Leisure suits came in slightly stretchy polyester (throw in the wash, hang it and wear it) fabric. Light blue was very popular and some were truly indescribable.
I owned some clothing that was more than a little embarrassing, but I can honestly say I didn't buy it. My mother made it for me. It was exceptionally well-made clothing, elegant clothing, but when I wore it I looked like I came from another planet. It didn't improve my fragile popularity in high school, though it had a certain something by the time I got into college.
I never owned a leisure suit because, for me, a leisure suit means a pair of yoga pants and a sweatshirt. That's what I'm wearing now. It's what I wear. Most importantly, it's virtually immune to dog hair.

Twitter furious after Theresa May in tears over resignation but not Grenfell
People wonder where her tears were for Grenfell
Robyn DarbyshireReporter
Theresa May has faced backlash for crying during her resignation speech
Theresa May has announced her resignation, after being urged to step down by members of her own party for months over Brexit chaos.
Standing outside Downing Street today (Friday, May 24), Mrs May gave an emotional speech about her time in office.
She said she had done her best to deliver on Brexit and believes it's in the interest of the country for her to step down on June 7.
The PM's voice broke as she said: "I will shortly leave the job that it has been the honour of my life to hold.
"The second female prime minister, but certainly not the last. I do so with no ill will, but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country I love."
3 people accused of lying about living in Grenfell Tower to claim benefits
However, people on Twitter are not impressed with the way she got emotional over leaving Number 10 - for an important reason.
Astute observers noted that the Prime Minister was in tears over leaving the coveted political position but did not express the same levels of emotion over Grenfell where 72 people lost their lives.
One person wrote on Twitter: "THERESA MAY CRIED WHEN SHE LOST HER JOB BUT NOT WHEN 72 PEOPLE BURNED TO DEATH IN GRENFELL. THATS HER LEGACY, CONVERSATION OVER."
A second said: "Lol Theresa May queuing the tears .. where were those tears when you ruined the lives of millions, the poor the disabled .. victims of Grenfell."

Another wrote: "Theresa May guide to crying: NO TEARS for Grenfell The Windrush generation Deaths and misery caused by the hostile environment, by austerity, by welfare cuts, NHS cuts 598 rough sleepers dying on our streets last year 4m children in poverty Record food bank use TEARS for Herself."
People have also criticised the Prime Minister for even speaking about Grenfell in her speech.
She said: "I set up the independent public inquiry into the tragedy at Grenfell Tower – to search for the truth, so nothing like it can ever happen again, and so the people who lost their lives that night are never forgotten."
One person wrote on Twitter that she should "keep it out of her mouth" while another said: "She's got an absolute (excuse my language, but I'm livid) f*king nerve referencing Grenfell"
Charred fire debris from Grenfell tower could be trapped in homes nearby, it's feared
ITV This Morning presenter Eamonn Holmes even slammed her for it.
He said on-air this morning: "I didn't feel sorry for her, I thought it was typical Theresa May.
"She spoke about Grenfell and I just thought what have you done for those people.
"If I was her I would have set up a park of caravans, like the ones we give away on this programme and I would have homed them in these lodges, I think she talks like a preacher."
What do you think of her speech? Let us know in the comments.

The hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 will move to a new area south of where an underwater search effort failed to find a clue.
The Australian government has announced a new search zone after further analysis of satellite data.
The search will be able to start in August and could last for 12 months, Australia Transport Bureau (ATSB) confirmed.
Authorities said investigators believe someone turned on the plane's autopilot before it crashed and disappeared.
The Australian deputy prime minister, Warren Tuss, said the search for the plane had moved further south and was still about 1,800km offshore.
He explained that the conclusion was reached because of the orderly path the plane took.
"It is highly, highly likely that the aircraft was on autopilot otherwise it could not have followed the orderly path that has been identified through the satellite sightings," Truss said in a statement.
Investigators predicted that the missing jet likely plunged into the ocean further south than the current search area.

The Future of Human Spaceflight – A Public Forum
The biggest space policy issue and the greatest space program uncertainty is: What should be the future of human spaceflight? Proponents of human space flight have urged returning to the Moon including establishment of a lunar base or looking beyond the Moon to send humans to Mars. Opponents argue that robotic missions can explore as much for far lower cost and with more scientific return.
In the 42 years since the last Apollo mission, humans have not flown beyond low Earth orbit. The capability to go back to, let alone beyond, the Moon does not exist, nor is any project approved with those ends. President Obama adopted the flexible path proposed by the 2009 (Augustine) Committee to Review U.S. Human Spaceflight Plans by proposing NASA plan a series of steps into the solar system – reaching a near-Earth asteroid by 2025, the vicinity of Mars in the 2030s and landing on Mars in the early 2040s.

Even the first step in that plan is beyond the capabilities of current space systems unless the near-Earth asteroid is redirected from its natural orbit to one closer to Earth, around the Moon. The robotic Asteroid Redirection Mission (ARM) is a new and exciting idea now proposed by NASA to enable human space flight to go beyond the Moon and start on the path to Mars. The proposal has generated both enthusiasm and skepticism – some question its cost, some think it is a detour on the way to Mars or back to the Moon, while some see it as the only practical way to revitalize NASA and get human space exploration started again.
A panel of three former astronauts will discuss the FUTURE OF HUMAN SPACEFLIGHT at a public event at the California Institute of Technology Beckman Auditorium, TUESDAY APRIL 8, 2014 at 8 pm.
The event is organized and hosted by the Keck Institute of Space Studies (KISS) at Caltech, and co-sponsored by The Planetary Society. I will be the moderator.
I have been the co-leader of the now-famous KISS study which first presented the idea of an Asteroid Redirection Mission to enable the first step beyond the Moon to be taken before 2025. The KISS study continues with a follow-on technology development activity examining how the technologies of asteroid retrieval can enable further steps in human spaceflight, including perhaps getting all the way to Mars. Our astronaut panelists are participating with the KISS study.
As co-leader of the KISS study, I am naturally very enthusiastic about the Asteroid Redirection Mission. It is the only way I seen to advance human spaceflight within the constraints of realistic budget planning. The mission, a stepping stone to Mars, is consistent with both The Planetary Society Roadmap developed several years ago and the Augustine Committee's flexible path into the solar system. But, for me, the mission epitomizes the creativity, excitement and adventure of human space flight – moving part of the solar system robotically to create a scientific target extending human space flight further than it has gone before. The asteroid isn't so important – the human accomplishment is what we seek, and what, I think, will finally lead us on to Mars.
There are other views – as noted above. Some want to focus back to the Moon, some want the commitment to Mars now, and all have to balance their view about what to do with how they propose to do it. Our three astronauts on the panel are deep into these subjects: Rusty Schwickart, an Apollo astronaut, has been a leader on issues related to planetary defense, Tom Jones, a shuttle astronaut, is a planetary scientist who specialized in asteroid studies, and Garrett Reisman, another shuttle astronaut, is helping to develop the first privately funded human space flight at SpaceX. I hope members (and many others) will be able to join us for this panel discussion by the astronauts examining the Future of Human Spaceflight.

Q: Code block comment syntax in Windows batch script Is there any syntax for multi-line code block comment in Windows batch script? I know REM and :: for line-by-line comment, but it is not efficient to comment a code block.
I'm looking for the block comment style like something below in PHP:
/*
This is multi-lines
block comment
*/

A: I think, this can serve the purpose
goto:skip1
echo This line should not get executed
format c: & echo nor this line
:skip1

A: There is no such thing in batch scripts.
(gotos excluded...)

A: You may use this trick that looks better...
@echo off
setlocal

set comment=goto endcomment

echo This line is executed

%comment%
echo These lines
echo are commented out...
:endcomment

echo The next line to execute

%comment%
You may place here
  %$#"#% anything you want.... &!>|<()
:endcomment

echo End of example

A: Multiline comment without that gotos, rems and ::
@break || (
 1 line
 2 line
 3 line
 4 line
 5 line
 ...
)

EDIT: As the previous example is not working, you can create a macro
set "[:=goto :]%%"
set "[=rem/||(" & set "]=)"

%[:%
  multiline
  comment
%:]%

(Not works in the for loop)

Appeal for witnesses to Chipping Campden Fire Station burglary
Officers in the Cotswolds are appealing for witnesses following a burglary at Chipping Campden Fire Station during the early hours of this morning, Tuesday 14 September.
Police were called to Catbrook shortly before 1am after a member of the public had seen men entering the building before loading items into a car and driving off at speed.
After searching the building it was found that three hydraulic tools, also known as the "jaws of life", had been taken. The lifesaving equipment is commonly used to cut through metal and rescue people from vehicles after road traffic collisions.
Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service would like to reassure the community that it has robust arrangements in place to temporarily replace the equipment and ensure that there is no interruption to the level of service they can provide to communities.
The offenders are believed to have left in a 59 plate light blue or silver Audi and drove in the direction of Top Road.
Investigating officers are asking anyone who saw what happened or has CCTV/dashcam footage to please get in contact.
Information can be submitted on the following online form by quoting incident 19 of 14 September: https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/tua/tell-us-about/cor/tell-us-about-existing-case-report/
Alternatively you can call police on 101 or speak to Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online at https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/forms/give-information-anonymously

While local school boards, Parent Teacher Associations, and most recently the Trump administration weigh in on food served in schools, the dialogue around flavored milk is more multifaceted than in years past.
There is opportunity for both plain and flavored milk in schools. Once scrutinized for its sugar content, flavored milk is now being viewed for its role in overall health, academic achievement, and — most recently — food waste reduction.
Flavored milk has all of the major nutrients found in plain milk — including calcium, vitamin D, and potassium, which are all underconsumed nutrients of concern according to the most recent Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Leading health and nutrition organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics, Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, School Nutrition Association, and American Heart Association recognize the valuable role milk can play in better meeting daily nutrient needs. These groups also consider flavored milk a healthy option for children.
In addition, research continues to support flavored milk's positive association with healthy weight in children. According to a study published in 2008 in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, children who drank milk were less likely to be overweight. This finding holds true no matter which flavor of milk children consume.
The National Association of Chronic Disease Directors issued a strong "call to action" after the Journal of Adolescent Health showed a 96 percent correlation between reduced academic success and adolescent health-risk behaviors such as a diet low in dairy products, vegetables, and fruits.
Academic performance measures like grades, standardized test scores, and graduation rates improve after adding dairy foods, vegetables, and fruits to diets. Moreover, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, students who engage in healthy behaviors such as healthy eating and physical activity also have better attendance, fewer behavioral problems at school, and improved concentration, memory, and mood.
If school wellness champions need more reasons to encourage milk consumption at schools, offering flavored milk in addition to plain milk helps students drink more milk overall, eat school lunch more often, and waste less food, according to a study by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD).
The three-month pilot study examined whether reintroducing chocolate milk — eliminated in 2011 — could boost milk consumption and reduce some of the district's 600 tons of weekly food waste.
The Dairy Council of California supported 21 of LAUSD's pilot project schools with a variety of resources, including nutrition education materials, healthy eating posters, and mobile dairy classroom assemblies.
Efforts to reduce or eliminate food waste are picking up steam across the country. In fact, USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue recently announced plans to ease federal feeding requirements and give schools more flexibility, citing food waste concerns along with other factors.
Perdue expanded flavored milk requirements from only fat-free to also include 1 percent chocolate milk. While this is good news for the dairy industry, conversations around flavored milk are not always positive. The latest district to ban flavored milk is San Francisco Unified.
The Dairy Council of California is focused on improving the health of children and parents through the pursuit of lifelong healthy eating habits. That means advocating that students have access to a variety of nutritious foods in schools.
The LAUSD study indicates that with more choice not only do more students select milk with their meals, but they also consume more of their milk. And more students drinking milk means more students gaining the health benefits milk provides.
It's time for the conversation to broaden. Everyone in the dairy industry can help by amplifying the benefits that milk and dairy foods provide.

Q: Should I make query call for for each item even when I have the full Flow of list? I'm recently trying to learn MVVM with jetpack compose.
Currently, I'm looking at:
https://github.com/stevdza-san/To-Do-Compose/blob/Part-13-Course_Updates/app/src/main/java/com/example/to_docompose/data/repositories/ToDoRepository.kt
The part I'm interested in:
class ToDoRepository @Inject constructor(private val toDoDao: ToDoDao) {

    val getAllTasks: Flow<List<ToDoTask>> = toDoDao.getAllTasks()

    fun getSelectedTask(taskId: Int): Flow<ToDoTask> {
        return toDoDao.getSelectedTask(taskId = taskId)
    }
}

You see the dev is making another query call to get the selected task, whose Id was obtained from alltasks query call. Should it not be wise (less resource extensive) to get the task from the already obtained list?
I know that Flow does not currently hold that whole list but is it not possible to get the selected task from Flow, or is it even worth it (i.e make new calls for each task even when I got the Task id from MutableStateFlow which itself got it from the alltask flow, is more beneficial)?
Update/Note: My use case is different from the given source. I.e. I'll keep observing the whole list Flow, but don't require the single item to be Flow (observable). So, if you find such code please attach them here (the function to get the item should be in the repository not in ViewModel).

A: If you are on the same screen still and still need to be observing the full list, then yes mapping that flow to just pull out the single todo is maybe slightly more efficient? Although the tradeoff in extra code complexity might not be worth the minimal gain it may cause. It might not even be faster if you have a large list and your filter has to search through the whole list to find the one with the correct ID on every change to that list.
Often though if you are changing screens in your app for example to go to the detail screen, it is more efficient to stop observing the full list of changes and then start observing just the single item. In that case you would do as you describe and create a new Flow just with the selected item on your new screen.

'This may be the last piece I write': prominent Xi critic has internet cut after house arrest
The Chinese professor Xu Zhangrun, who published a rare public critique of President Xi Jinping over China's coronavirus crisis, was placed under house arrest for days, barred from social media and is now cut off from the internet, his friends have told the Guardian. Xu's passionate attack on the government's system of controls and censorship, Viral Alarm: When Fury Overcomes Fear, was published this month as a powerful debate on freedom of speech convulsed the country.
The death on 7 February of whistleblowing doctor Li Wenliang, who had tried to warn colleagues about the virus but was reprimanded and silenced by security forces, had triggered an outpouring of grief and anger and an unusual public discussion about censorship."Li's death has thoroughly exposed the ills of the party's governance and control; this has a huge impact on people's minds," said Hong Zhenkuai, an independent historian who is currently working outside China, as a visiting scholar at Tokyo University.
The mechanisms that normally constrain Chinese journalists have also eased slightly, with some of the most powerful stories about life in quarantined Wuhan and the latest news about the evolution of the outbreak coming from mainland newsrooms like that of magazine Caixin.

Camera Camera is een studioalbum van de van oorsprong progressieve-rockband Renaissance uit 1981.

Het waren zware tijden voor de progressieve rock na de punkbeweging. Veel muziekgroepen probeerden met de tijdgeest op muziekgebied mee te gaan. Deze muzikale koerswijziging ging vaak gepaard met een wisseling van personeel. Renaissance maakte beide mee. De songs zijn redelijk kort (naar Renaissance-maatstaven), de orkestbegeleiding is vervangen door de synthesizers; toetsenist en slagwerker vertrokken. Het album laat een veel meer rockachtig geluid horen, maar dan wel verpakt in een jaren 80-sausje, richting new wave. Dat had tot consequentie dat de oudere fans de band lieten vallen als een baksteen, fans van jaren 80-muziek vonden het nog allemaal te symfonisch klinken. De band kwam in het luchtledige te hangen, iets wat veel bands uit de oude symfonische rock overkwam. Daarbij moet men dan nog optellen dat het oude label Warner Brothers de band op straat zette. Het album is opgenomen in de Herne Place Studios te Sunningdale, Berkshire in juni 1981; geluidstechnicus was John Acock, een veteraan in de progressieve rock.

Live scheen het nog wel mee te vallen met de synthpop, maar liefhebbers van progressieve rock uit de jaren 70 lieten het studioalbum vaak links liggen. Naast de muziek moesten ook vaak de hoesontwerpen het ontgelden. De oudere albums hebben wat romantische hoesontwerpen; Camera Camera is een "kaal" ontwerp.

Het album werd uitgebracht door I.R.S. Records.

Musici
Annie Haslam - zang
Jon Camp - basgitaar, gitaar, zang
Michael Dunford - gitaar, zang
Peter Gosling - toetsinstrumenten, zang
Peter Barron - drumkit, percussie, zang
Haslam en Dunford hadden met Gosling gewerkt onder de titel Nevada dat slechts één album uitbracht.

Composities
"Camera Camera" (Camp-Dunford) - 6:05
"Faeries (Living At The Bottom Of The Garden)" (Dunford-Gosling) - 4:02
"Remember" (Dunford-Thatcher) - 4:36
"Bonjour Swansong" (Dunford-Thatcher) - 3:40
"Tyrant-Tula" (Camp-Dunford) - 6:00
"Okichi-San" (Dunford-Thatcher) - 6:00
"Jigsaw" (Dunford-Thatcher) - 5:07
"Running Away From You" (Camp) - 3:54
"Ukraine Ways" (Camp-Dunford) - 6:26
Het nummer Faeries was een overblijfsel van de opnamen van Nevada. Bonjour Swansong (Vaarwel, zwanenzang) vormde het afscheid van tekstdichteres Betty Thatcher-Newsinger; pijnlijk is dat dat nu juist het nummer is dat het meest lijkt op de oude Renaissance en het beste tot zijn recht komt ook met de jaren 80-synthesizers. De stem van Annie Haslam blijft ongewijzigd helder.

That Long Commute May Be Harming Your Health
Study found that as drives got longer, waistlines expanded and fitness levels dropped.
By Alan Mozes, HealthDay News
Too Embarrassed to Exercise?
Escape Your Exercise Rut
TUESDAY, May 8, 2012 (HealthDay News) — Now there's another reason to hate your commute.
New research has found that the longer your driving time between home and office, the less likely you are to exercise, the more your waistline widens and the worse your overall heart health becomes.
The findings come from a study of nearly 4,300 workers in Texas cities whose daily commute times were compared to their odds of various health risk factors.
"Previous studies have looked at sedentary behavior like TV viewing and total time spent driving," said study lead author Christine Hoehner, an assistant professor in the division of public health sciences at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "But we wanted to look specifically at commuting distance, since it's an important part of people's daily routine."
"What we found ... is that long commutes can take away from exercise and are associated with high blood pressure, higher weight and generally lower fitness levels," Hoehner said. "This may make a lot of sense, because it's extremely intuitive. But it nonetheless suggests that longer commutes are really getting under the skin and affecting people's health."
The findings appear in the June issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
According to the researchers, the number of workers driving to work by private car more than doubled between 1960 and 2000, increasing from more than 41 million to nearly 113 million. The average distance traveled to work also has grown in recent years, from nearly nine miles in 1983 to more than 12 miles in 2001, the researchers said.
The new study focused on adult Texans living in either the Dallas/Fort Worth or Austin regions.
No participant had a history of heart attack, stroke or diabetes, and none were pregnant. All were employed in jobs that required a commute of some kind.
At some point between 2000 and 2007, all participants underwent comprehensive medical exams, including treadmill runs designed to assess their heart and lung fitness. They also reported their level of daily exercise during the three months prior to the study.
The team found that people with the longest commuting distances also tended to exercise less than those with short commutes. They also had lower levels of cardiorespiratory fitness, a higher body-mass index (a measure of body fat based on height and weight), a wider waistline and higher blood pressure.
Specifically, commutes of 10 miles or more were linked to higher blood pressure levels, while those of more than 15 miles were linked to higher odds of obesity and a lower likelihood of meeting public-health physical-activity recommendations, the team found.
These trends didn't disappear even after the researchers factored in time spent exercising, which suggests that there is something about the commute itself — outside of its impact in lowering exercise rates — that harms cardiovascular health.
"This would suggest that drivers of long distances are burning fewer calories overall, even if they are exercising the same amount as drivers of shorter distances," Hoehner said. "Although we didn't measure it, stress is also a possible mechanism at play, especially if commuters are faced with travel congestion."
What to do? "People can't easily move closer to their job or change their job ... which means commuting by car is different from other types of [unhealthy] sedentary behavior that are more modifiable, such as watching TV," Hoehner said.
"The message here is that people need to find creative ways to build physical activity into their days," she said. "And that could be as simple as walking more throughout the day, whenever one can. That could be made more feasible if offices were to encourage physical-activity breaks during the day, and perhaps even flex time so people can drive to work outside rush hour."
One expert said attitude is important in increasing exercise rates.
For busy people, "the key is not being intimidated by exercise," said Dr. Bryan Henry, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center in Rochester, N.Y.
"No one after an hour-long commute home from work is going to want to jump on a elliptical machine," Henry said. "But just short exercise commitments can work. That could mean walking farther from the parking lot or taking a 10-minute walk here and there. It can easily add up to the equivalent of a 40-minute brisk walk."

Арли Альберт Берк (; 19 октября 1901 — 1 января 1996) — адмирал ВМС Соединённых штатов, отличившийся сначала во Второй мировой войне, а затем и в Корейской войне. Был руководителем военно-морскими операциями ВМС США при президенте Дуайте Эйзенхауэре.

Жизнь и карьера
Будущий адмирал Арли Берк родился далеко от моря в Болдере, штат Колорадо. 23 июня 1923 г. Берк закончил Военно-морскую Академию США и был принят в звании энсина во флот США.

Вторая мировая война

Во время Второй мировой войны Берк командовал различными Дивизионами эскадренных миноносцев на Тихом океане.

Эсминцы, которые находились под командованием адмирала Берка, всегда двигались по приказу адмирала с максимальной для эсминцев скоростью, но однажды в сражении при мысе Сент-Джордж на одном из эсминцев его эскадры произошёл разрыв котла, ограничивший скорость движения всей эскадры 31 узлом, а не 34, на которые эти эсминцы были способны. После этого происшествия адмирал получил прозвище «31 узел».

Память
В честь адмирала в 1989 году был назван эсминец USS Arleigh Burke (DDG-51), головной корабль своего проекта. Жена Арли Берка, миссис Роберта Берк, стала крёстной матерью корабля, а сам он присутствовал в 1991 году на церемонии ввода корабля в строй.

Guys, which do you prefer? CCF or CAP? Why?
Personally, CAP is good. Although CCF is supposed to make the agent's life "better", it's still under construction for me. There are still a lot of things that need to be done to fix the system. There are issue that are supposed to be resolved on a T1 level but needs to be escalated because the tool says so.
If they can address the concern, it could be better. For a "tamad" agent, CCF is the best.

If you've ever seen the motion picture 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf?' (it's incredibly intense and amazing so check it out if you haven't) you may recall Elizabeth Taylor's imitation of Bette Davis saying "What A Dump!", a line from 'The Petrified Forest.' 'The Petrified Forest,' a 1936 American film directed by Archie Mayo, was based on Robert E. Sherwood's 1935 Broadway drama of the same name.
So what did those two immortal stars have to say about one another? This video won't give you much insight into that but does provide Bette Davis' explanation as to why "What a dump!" became Davis' most famous line, repeated by an endless number of drag queens around the world after Taylor made the expression more theatrical.
In 1977, Davis became the first woman to receive the American Film Institute's Lifetime Achievement Award. On November 8, 1981 at Filmex's "An Evening With Elizabeth Taylor", Bette Davis was the surprise guest of the evening who introduced Ms. Taylor.

Repair and Prepare: Strengthening Europe
EU Cohesion Policy
Source George Pimentel / Canadian Film Centre / Flickr - CC BY 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/
EU Cohesion Policy – A suitable tool to foster innovation?
Across Europe, regions are divided into innovation leaders and laggard regions – the latter referring to places that lag behind in terms of GDP per capita and R&D expenditure. This innovation gap in turn threatens to reinforce existing welfare differences. The EU recently shifted its focus towards funding innovation to deal with these disparities. Is this strategy working?
After the economic crisis, regional disparities re-emerged in heightened form across the EU and its Member States. Researchers observed a core-periphery pattern with the economically strong regions in the centre surrounded by relatively deprived neighbours.
The European Union structural and investment policy aims at alleviating with economic and social disparities across Europe. The funds disbursed through it support regions with below-average GDP. After the 2014 launch of the research programme Horizon 2020, policy makers hoped to turn structural and cohesion policy, in particular, the European Regional Development Fund, into an "innovation booster". Over the period 2014-2020, resources from EU funds of EUR 351.8 billion were allocated to cohesion policy alone – a sum amounting to a third of the overall EU budget.
However, the effectiveness of these polices remains debated. Economists have analysed the policy's effects on strengthening innovation – so far with mixed findings. With the upcoming negotiations on the EU's multiannual financial framework (MFF), there is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of measures to foster innovation-led growth in the EU. This policy paper analyses whether EU regional policy fulfils its mandate of fostering innovation across EU regions.
We use data from Eurostat and the European Commission to illustrate the link between funding for innovation, allocated through the ERDF, and innovation indicators at NUTS2 level. Interestingly, ERDF funding reflects the core-periphery pattern of the observed innovation gap across European regions. In line with existing research, we show that R&D expenditure contributes to higher GDP per capita and vice versa. However, we do not observe any direct impact of ERDF funding on R&D expenditure. We therefore need to strengthen local governance capacities and research networks over and above purely monetary measures to foster regional innovation across Europe.

The ill effects of sprawling settlements development patterns are well documented. Numerous books, articles, and films have discussed the negative physical, economic and ecological impacts associated with suburban sprawl. However, as a medium for expression, the music industry provides few examples of sufficient coverage. Countering this trend is the band Arcade Fire, whose latest album, The Suburbs , brings to life their own experiences growing up in such an environment. In doing so, they paint an eerie, but accessible picture of what many kids go through growing up in America.
The Arcade Fire is an indie rock band formed in Montreal, Canada by husband and wife duo Win Butler and Régine Chassagne. The group also includes Win's younger brother, William Butler. Win and Will were born in Northern California, near the Nevada border, in a small rural town. When the brothers were young their family moved to the Woodlands, Texas, a well-known master planned suburb on the outskirts of Houston. The change in scenery was so drastic that Win says "it was like landing on Mars." What was then an unfamiliar new place sets the stages for the hazy memories that comprise The Suburbs.
The central themes of boredom, confinement, loneliness and regret are brought up repeatedly throughout the album. Some of the most powerful imagery in many of the songs is accompanied by the idea of being lost—Win uses this as a metaphor for feeling afloat in life, with no particular direction. But this sense of confusion is also directly related to the disconnected life he once lived in the suburbs. The point is driven home on the album's most somber song, Sprawl I (Flatland) .
The track describes Win's return visit to the Woodlands neighborhood where he spent the majority of his childhood. But with so little connection to the place he once lived, he is unable to find the right house. More telling is that during the entire song he deliberately avoids the word "home". Instead, he searches for "the house where we used to stay." Towards the end of the track Win recalls being asked by a police officer where he lives. He replies that he does not know but has been searching every corner of the Earth.
Beyond being lost in the sprawl, the Butler brothers also seemed to grow up bored. Many of the songs ring with a tone of regret, recalling summer days wasted indoors, germinating half-baked ideas that were never realized. The listener understands that the brothers did not lack creativity, but simply had no outlet for their talents.
Listening deeper into the album, several songs reference a "suburban war," a metaphor for childhood fantasies enacted through play. From personal experiences, it could have been a neighborhood wide game of flashlight tag or building a skateboard ramp in the backyard.
For the boys the excitement comes in merely talking about their ideas. However, when it came time to see them through to fruition, the motivation runs dry. The disappointment that goes along with discarded plans reveals a sense of impotence, a feeling that makes the suburbs an even lonelier, alienating place.
Among all of the intangible ideas about suburban life discussed on the album, the Arcade Fire offer several hints as to why the Woodlands was such a depressing place to live. In the high-energy track, Month of May, they make a direct reference to automobile-centric planning.
Similar explanations are heard during the opening presentation of any New Urbanist design charrette.
Towards the end of the album, Chassagne sings about a seemingly post-apocalyptic landscape in the song Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains). The tune's subject matter could be lifted straight from the writings of James Howard Kunstler.
Clearly, The Arcade Fire portray sprawl in a negative light. However, after listening to The Suburbs the question remains: if not low-density, auto-oriented neighborhoods, for what do they advocate?
Surprisingly, the album reveals a mix of feelings towards cities. Indeed, several tracks portray cities as confusing places where people easily lose themselves, while others praise cities as the places where exciting and interesting people live. Ostensibly, the band has grown comfortable with urban living, as they reside in Montreal, one of North America's most cosmopolitan cities. However, the album reveals that the brothers Butler still long for the soothing calm of their rural birthplace.
When confronted with the question in interviews, Win replies that his goal for the album was to talk about real experiences rather than pretend he grew up in a more edgy, urban environment. The accessibility of the writing is exactly what makes the album so powerful because current and former suburban inhabitants may easily place themselves within each song, making them all the more real and haunting.
Zack Adelson is a designer and urban advocate currently living and working in Portland, Maine.

Trump and the Gentlemen of the Press
The campaign season has hardly begun, but the press is already prowling the world looking for Republicans to destroy. Their first intended victim is Donald Trump, whose first mortal sin was a casual allusion to the number of illegal aliens who have rewarded America's careless generosity by committing major felonies against its citizens. He went on to impugn the valor of John McCain, and, most recently, to lash back at Megyn Kelly for her malicious and unprofessional style at the first GOP debate. Trump's allegations are either true or false, and it should be the job of the press to...

Hey Brian thanks for doing this. I love Yonder. I would love for you to get me a ticket to please.
I live in the Museum District. If anyone wants to meet at my house and carpool/Uber together it would make parking easier.
I'm so annoyed but I have a late meeting at work and there's no way I can get down there in time. Brian, let me know how to get you the $$. I think you got a ticket for me.
Hey Sonja…sorry you can't join us! You already paid w/Trail Bucks, so you don't owe anything. Melissa, have you bought a ticket? If not, maybe you can use Sonja's.
I'll be at Vagabond with the tickets as planned at around 5:15pm tonight. See you soon!

Really fun evening! Thanks all! And thanks, Brian, for hosting! Pictures posted.
Yes Brian, thanks for putting this together. Sorry we were late to dinner and didn't get to walk through the magic tunnel. Yonder was really on last night, especially that fiddle player. I agree Brian, it was a bit chilly at the very front, that's why I had to step back and dance with that wild girl.
Yes Brian thanks so much for putting this together. Really enjoyed seeing you guys and sharing the concert together. It was a bit chilly at the rail, that's why I had to step back and dance with the crazy girl. Looking forward to the next one.


C&S provided civil design for the new $10 million Aquila Hall, including a parking lot layout, utility infrastructure, and drainage improvements for the new 20,000-square-foot classroom building. This is the first phase of the a campus expansion, with four additional buildings included in the master plan. The new parking lot was designed around a known archaeological site. However, a second archaeological study during the design phase enlarged the site and forced a re-design. The expanded parking lot adds 119 parking spaces, including six handicap accessible spaces. New sewer and natural gas line extensions were installed from existing main lines along the southern property line to the new building. Domestic, fire and irrigation waterlines were tapped into a waterline loop surrounding the existing PVCC building. A detention basin was partially filled to create the new parking lot, but was also extended to ensure stormwater runoff is captured properly and released at a controlled rate to the natural washes outside the project area.

2019 Toyota RAV4 gets tough new look, debuts at New York show
Car News, SUV, Toyota
Toyota has unveiled the new, rugged-look 2019 RAV4 at the New York auto show this week. It shows off a tough new design, while sporting more powerful engine options and an eight-speed automatic.
Kicking off with the design. Just look at it. It looks very macho and modern, with a lower profile glasshouse area giving it a wider overall stance, and hints of Lexus NX in the panel contour. At the front is a robust interpretation of Toyota's latest grille and headlights layout, with black wheel arches for off-road appeal, and a chunky rear end.
Aussie specs haven't been confirmed but the US version gets Toyota's new Dynamic Force 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine. Initial specs had the unit producing 151kW and 250Nm. A hybrid version will also be offered, using a Dynamic Force 2.5L petrol engine as well. For the petrol there's an eight-speed automatic for the first time, with a CVT for the hybrid, while further down the driveline is a Toyota-first torque-vectoring all-wheel drive system with rear driveline disconnect.
Underneath it all is the Toyota New Generation Architecture. This helps increase chassis rigidity by 57 per cent, while also providing some larger exterior dimensions. The new model's wheelbase is about 30mm longer for increased cabin space, and width grows about 10mm. Overall length is shorten by about 5mm.
Inside has been completely overhauled, with a semi-floating touch-screen sitting atop the dash. Down below is a neat platform for the transmission lever and drive mode controls, with a well-forward dash design similar to the outgoing model for an open and airy feel.
The touch-screen itself is all new, featuring app-style tiles and the must-have volume and tuning knobs (not buttons). It's a 7.0-inch display screen packaged with Entune 3.0 media with Wi-Fi Connect by Verizon (US spec). There's also five USB ports, Qi wireless phone charging, and an 11-speaker JBL sound system available.
Australian specs are expected to be announced soon, and we will update this story. It's set to go on sale late this year.
UPDATE: Toyota Australia has confirmed the new model will go on sale locally in 2019. Specs will be announced closer to launch. Toyota Australia vice president of sales and marketing Sean Hanley said:
"The combination of Toyota's latest hybrid system and an advanced new petrol engine will deliver impressive power output and exceptional energy efficiency. Toyota's hybrid technology will perfectly complement the work of engineers who have dialled-up the fun-to-drive factor by advancing every aspect of RAV4's performance, handling and ride comfort."

Motorists travelling along Chislehurst Road in London are finding themselves confronted with traffic barriers as work is carried out in the area.
Chislehurst Road bridge will be closed for the next 12 months as structural work takes place, amid fears that the existing structure could collapse at any time.
Portfolio holder for environment councillor Colin Smith explained: "An identical bridge to this one collapsed without warning several years ago and engineering studies show that this bridge is no longer structurally sound."
Motorists had been told that disruption caused by the traffic barriers would be kept to a minimum, but it seems that many are disgruntled by the work.
Mr Smith urged drivers to avoid the area where necessary and not to blindly follow their satnav, but rather to read the road signs that have been put up for their safety.
Some drivers had complained that the diversion has not been marked clearly enough.

Bayern Bound? Munich target cut-price deal for Man City midfielder Nigel De Jong
The Holland international will be a free agent next summer and talks over a new contract have stalled with the Blues unwilling to meet his pay demands Nigel De Jong is wanted by Bayern Munich, according to reports in his native Holland.
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf claims Bayern have set their sights on the Manchester City midfielder after being priced out of a move for Athletic Bilbao's Javi Martinez.
De Jong, 27, looks set to leave City and talks over a new contract have stalled with the Blues unwilling to meet his pay demands.
The Holland international will be a free agent next summer and Bayern believe they may be able to pick him up for a reduced price because he is not part of Roberto Mancini's first-choice XI.
Meanwhile, there are reports champions City are ready to sign captain Vincent Kompany to a new five-year deal in order to rule out a move abroad for arguably their most influential and consistent player.
Captain fantastic: Vincent Kompany holds the Premier League trophy aloft and could soon be signing a new deal
Kompany was magnificent last season and City wobbled only when he was injured or suspended.
Now he is set to sign a new contract, which will keep him at the Etihad until he is 31, in the next few days, according to The Sun.
Roberto Mancini's talisman will earn £130,000-a-week and City also hope to tie up Real Madrid target David Silva on a similar deal in the days ahead.
But fellow City defender Kolo Toure is set to join Turkish side Bursaspor - if they can afford him.
Toure has slipped behind Kompany, Joleon Lescott, Micah Richards and Stefan Savic on City's centre-back depth chart after his drugs ban.
Mancini said: "It is up to Kolo to decide if he wants to go to Bursaspor or not. However, can they meet his demands?"

Julio Luzardo (Bogotá, 24 de septiembre de 1938) es un fotógrafo, libretista, cineasta, guionista y productor de cine colombiano.

Biografía
Julio Luzardo estudió cine en la Universidad de California en Los Ángeles, junto con algunos cursos de teatro y actuación en el Pasadena Playhouse. Una de sus primeras compras antes de entrar a la universidad fue una cámara Bolex de 16mm. Al terminar sus estudios decidió renunciar a la ciudadanía norteamericana y se dedicó a hacer cine en su país natal, Colombia. Empezó primero con un cortometraje de ficción en 35mm basado en un cuento del escritor antioqueño Manuel Mejía Vallejo, Tiempo de sequía, que en un período de casi dos años evolucionó en el largometraje Tres cuentos colombianos, producido por Cine-TV Films.

En los siguientes realizó grandes largometrajes: El río de las tumbas, Una tarde… Un lunes y Préstame tu marido, la primera financiada por Cine-TV Films de nuevo y las otras dos con capital propio, prestado y la colaboración del elenco de actores en la última. Los resultados económicos no fueron los esperados y decidió en ese momento no volver a dirigir una película propia hasta no reunir una de dos condiciones: encontrar un guion que lo apasionara totalmente o un inversionista que le financiara totalmente un proyecto.

Babies: Infants in HD and Nothing Else
Tonight's streaming flick is perfect for after work recharging. There's literally no plot. It's a movie about babies. Babies being babies. It's also a fascinating look at how humans take care of each other, from Namibia to Tokyo.
Who's in it?
Four babies. You probably haven't heard of them, as they are babies. But they really nail the roles.
What's it about?
Nothing, really—but that's a good thing. Just like you'd watch Planet Earth for hours on end just because it's amazing looking, a close-up documentary about the world of infants is pretty damn cool. Trust me. They roam the desert, play with animals, laugh, cry, pull hair, dance, navigate supermodern Tokyo and tribal Africa.
Why do we like it?
You will smile a hell of a lot during this movie. Beyond the sociology—babies are pretty much the same despite extremely different upbringings!—watching tiny, tiny humans take in the world is incredible. You can almost hear their brains slowly shifting into shape. It's a film of beautiful scener and wonderful little moments. And babies. Note: if you don't like babies, you will very likely hate this movie.
Babies (2010), 79 minutes — Netflix
