Although plans for UT medical schools in Austin and South Texas are being carried out simultaneously, each comes with its own set of questions.
The UT System Board of Regents announced plans for a new medical school in South Texas Aug. 17. These plans come three months after the board announced support for a UT-Austin medical school. Although they are being created simultaneously, the Austin program and the South Texas program are not identical, differing in areas such as their funding, infrastructure and expected completion date.
UT System spokesman Anthony de Bruyn said the two medical schools differ in their funding and scope.
"These are two independent programs. The school in Austin is directly linked to UT-Austin, a tier-one research university," de Bruyn said. "The other is very regional in its scope. Both incorporate very different approaches."
Long-term funding for both institutions has not been set in stone. While there is some uncertainty regarding how both programs will be fully funded long term, De Bruyn said a large portion of revenue for each school will come from their surrounding economies. The UT System has pledged to fund $30 million annually to cover operating costs for a UT-Austin medical school. In South Texas, the system is relying on existing UT and state resources.
"Along with the UT System and the state of Texas, a large percentage of the funding for the medical programs will come from both commercial and private sources in their respective areas," he said.
The Seton Healthcare Family, a Central Texas health care provider, has pledged $250 million for a new teaching hospital in Austin to replace University Medical Center Brackenridge, a public teaching hospital. The health care provider already has a relationship with UT and currently funds 200 UT-Southwestern Medical Center residents along with hundreds of UT medical faculty members.
At a conference earlier this month, UT System Chancellor Francisco Cigarroa said the infrastructure for the South Texas medical school will come from existing UT facilities and other state resources. UT-Austin is currently scouting for a spot for its medical school close to University Medical Center Brackenridge.
"The year 2018 will be a very special year for all of us," Cigarroa said. "It will be the year that we graduate our first class of medical school students in South Texas."
Unlike the South Texas program, there is no projected date for the first medical students to graduate from UT-Austin. However, de Bruyn said, each school is on course to be completed.
"Both programs are on track from when the plan of action was first proposed," he said.
Shortly after the regent's announcement, state Senator Eddie Lucio, D-Brownsville, released a statement stressing the need for an independent medical program in the Rio Grande Valley.
"South Texas is home to fast-growing communities with unjust healthcare disparities," Lucio said. "We are undoubtedly the part of Texas most in need of a medical school."
Lucio applauded the progress made by the UT System in its effort to implement a medical program in this region.
"By committing to graduating students by 2018, UT has given everyone in South Texas reason to celebrate," he said in the statement.
Pre-med and biology senior Allan Lara said having a medical program in the Rio Grande Valley will allow students and doctors from that area to give back to their communities.
"Being from South Texas, I know it will be important having a medical school nearby to keep students like myself linked to their families and close to home," he said. "Coming from a Hispanic background, family is a tradition I was raised with. This will help maintain the connection with my loved ones back home."
Lara said the medical schools, especially the program in South Texas, will generate a better learning atmosphere and give students positive role models.
"This will bring about leaders from surrounding communities and create role models who can push many students to pursue a higher education," Lara said.

The UT System Board of Regents will not set tuition rates for the next two academic years at Thursday's special called meeting, contrary to the expectations of University administrators.
If the Regents decide on tuition after April, it will be the latest they have set the tuition rates since 2004. The delay will affect registration, University initiatives and preparation of the University budget. UT System spokesman Anthony de Bruyn said the main reason tuition will not be discussed at the special meeting is "just because it wasn't posted on the April agenda" by the Regents.
Mary Knight, associate vice president and budget director for the University, said the UT System had previously notified University administrators that tuition would be discussed at today's meeting, but were told otherwise at a budget meeting on Monday.
In 2003, tuition deregulation shifted tuition setting power from the state legislature to the board of regents for each state institution. On Dec. 15, President William Powers Jr. recommended the largest tuition increase the UT System will allow.
The UT System gave directives that any recommendation to increase tuition must be tied to improving four-year graduation rates. Knight said some of the initiatives might be delayed if the budget must take increased funds into account. The main initiatives include hiring more faculty to provide additional course sections, expanding career services and improving academic advising.
Knight said another problem with the delay is that registration for the summer and the fall semesters begins on Monday.
"We need to be able to tell the students something by Monday," Knight said. "We're trying to work through that now."
Former UT System spokesman Matt Flores spoke with the The Daily Texan March 2. Flores said the UT System Regents Office was assessing the tuition recommendations, but said, "We're certain it has to come soon. Clearly it has to be done with enough time to get course schedules published so they'll know how much they can expect to pay."
The University budget proposal is due to the UT System in May, Knight said. She said the University is currently preparing the budget without the recommended tuition increase, which would generate $30.6 million worth of academic funds from 2012-2014. Knight said it generally takes the entire summer for the University and the UT System to finish preparations for the Regents' August meeting.
"We don't usually have an opportunity to change it," Knight said.
De Bruyn gave no specifics on the reason for the delay, but said the Regents could call another special meeting to set tuition or wait for a regularly scheduled meeting. The next meeting is scheduled for May 2 and 3.
"All I know is that the UT System administrators have been diligently reviewing the campus proposals and that review continues," de Bruyn said. "I would say they will most likely be discussed in May."
De Bruyn said he did not know how the universities should handle communicating tuition costs as registration begins, distributing financial aid packages and preparing institutional budgets.
"You would have to ask the universities," de Bruyn said. "We're clearly mindful of deadlines."

Legislative Budget Board
TDCJ
Texas Department of Criminal Justice

Editor's note: Corrected on December 7, 2011 at 2:42 a.m.
After growing concerns over the state's ability to pay for health care services for its inmates, the University's Board of Regents has taken a solid stance on providing health care for the state's correctional facilities — pay the bills or find another provider.
The UT Board of Regents approved a new agreement Monday between the University of Texas Medical Branch and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice guaranteeing UTMB will be paid the remaining $45 million for the services it provides to inmates. If left unpaid, the agreement laid out measures to transition UTMB's services out of the facilities or terminate them completely. UTMB's total cost of services for the 2012 fiscal year is $430.5 million, including the $6.3 million left unpaid from the previous two year period, according to UTMB spokesman Raul Reyes. The state currently still owes UTMB $45 million, he said.
The agreement demands the Texas Department of Criminal Justice request $45 million from its 2013 fiscal budget for health care from the Legislative Budget Board to cover the money it still owes UTMB. Under the new agreement, UTMB will continue to provide health care services to the state for the remainder of the 2012 fiscal year, which ends in August, and will continue negotiations as to whether UTMB will provide care in 2013.
UT System spokesman Anthony de Bruyn said this was not the first time concerns about TDCJ's ability to pay have been raised to the Board of Regents.
"The Board approved an extension of the contract last month and prior to that concerns have been raised," de Bruyn said.
He said the Board was satisfied with the agreement both parties have come up with.
Reyes said that out of UTMB's 11,000 employees, approximately 3,000 of them work in the state's prison facilities. Both entities have been working together to provide health care to inmates since 1994.
"For years, we would get supplemental appropriations after we had provided care, and they were not always enough to cover the bill," he said.
Reyes said UTMB always believed the new agreement with TDCJ would be approved.
"Throughout all this, everyone needs to know that patient care was never interrupted," Reyes said. "We continued to provide care at one of the lowest costs throughout the nation, and we're thankful that a solution has been worked out to make sure that the health care is continued."
TDCJ spokesman Jason Clark said UTMB is the primary health care provider for 87 state facilities consisting of 120,000 inmates. Texas Tech University Health Science Center also provides health care for the state. He said biennial agreements are renegotiated based on legislative appropriations and renegotiated after each legislative session.
Clark said the request to the Legislative Budget Board for $45 million from state health care service's budget for the fiscal year of 2013 has not been approved by the Legislative Budget Board.

Dean Neikirk
UT faculty chair
Published on June 2, 2011 at 2:06 am

Data on UT System faculty spending, earning, research production and course enrollment could mislead the public about the so-called productivity of professors and researchers in the system, a UT faculty chair said.
The UT System Board of Regents created the task force on excellence and productivity in February. Upon their request, the UT System created the 820-page document containing faculty names, their tenure status and course enrollment numbers and released it to the task force on May 5.
The UT System had numerous open-record requests, and in the interest of keeping the administrative processes transparent, the system released the data before they could verify the information, which they received from the Texas Higher Education Board, said system spokesman Anthony de Bruyn.
"The analysis is not intended to gauge performance on an individual basis, but rather to review university departments by institution so that the presidents of the nine UT System academic institutions can assess the strengths of institutional departments by campus and recommend adjustments as necessary," de Bruyn said in an email.
Dean Neikirk, an engineering professor and the chair of the Faculty Council, said the data is premature because it does not take into account individual efforts of the faculty members. For example, the draft does not include intensive research efforts that some faculty at the Cockrell School of Engineering or College of Natural Sciences are conducting.
"The picture [this data] paints is a snapshot of a course of at most three semesters which does not accurately reflect what any faculty member does over years," Neikirk said.
The Texas A&M System created a similar spreadsheet last year that some special interest groups said indicated professors' efforts were not on par with their salaries, according to The Texas Tribune. Neikirk said he doesn't think the UT System data will have a positive impact for the faculty members, especially when some of the expenditure data is inaccurate in the draft.
Neikirk said when he gets the expenditure reports from UT, they rarely match up with his own tracking.
"It essentially has to do with [how] some of the bookkeeping is done [at UT]," Neikirk said.
Kristi Fisher, associate vice provost of Information Management and Analysis, said the department submits faculty and student information to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board each semester, which is where the task force acquired the data.
"I believe what we submitted was accurate according to the specific definitions by the [board]," Fisher said.
But some of the research expenditure data does not reflect all the research done by all faculty members because they are funded differently, she said. For example, some organizations choose to donate directly to the faculty members, which means the management office cannot get the information without surveying the entire faculty population.
She also said the draft lacks context because it may seem to the public that some faculty members, including professors — some of whom work nine months a year — receive lower salaries than some administrators who work the entire calendar year.
The UT System administration said the information is being verified currently, but de Bruyn said he doesn't know how long it will take to create a final, more accurate spreadsheet.

The UT System released 821 pages of information about each faculty member in the system's nine academic institutions Thursday, including their salaries, number of semester hours taught and research expenditures.
Former special adviser to the UT System Board of Regents, Rick O'Donnell, wrote to Regent Wallace Hall on April 18, the day before his time with the system ended. In the letter, he addressed his request for this information on behalf of the board. O'Donnell said he wanted to examine how UT universities spend tuition and tax dollars.
"The release of such data was resisted at the highest levels of the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas System," O'Donnell wrote.
The System has since received multiple public-information requests for the information it released Thursday. The system distributed the data along with a statement.
"The attached data spreadsheet in its current draft form is incomplete and has not yet been fully verified or cross-referenced," said System spokesman Anthony de Bruyn. "In its present raw form, it cannot yield accurate analysis, interpretations or conclusions."
Faculty Council chairman Dean Neikirk distributed an email Thursday warning faculty the System would be releasing the information, after he discovered the plan at a Faculty Advisory Committee meeting last week.
"Most, if not all, of this information was already available, but the 'convenience' of the release will no doubt invite a variety of interpretations," Neikirk wrote. "The only concern is that it's very easy to do one dimensional analysis of any data," he later said.
He said surface-level analysis of the data would give an inaccurate picture of his or her overall performance.
UT President William Powers Jr. and Board of Regents Chairman Gene Powell have both reassured faculty in the past months that UT will not produce a "red and black list" similar to the one Texas A&M University created last year. A&M's list compared faculty's total compensation and expenditures with total revenue generated, placing names in red whose compensation and expenditures exceeded revenue generated.
The statement sent with Thursday's release supported these promises.
"The collection and analysis of the data will not be used to produce what many in the news media and general public refer to as a 'red and black report,'" de Bruyn said.
Association of American Universities President Robert Berdahl sent a letter advising A&M not to pursue these types of measures to analyze faculty performance.
At a higher education conference last week, Powers said the association criticized A&M's list because it failed to count the work faculty do that doesn't directly create revenue, including much of research.
He said creating this list threatens UT's ability to attract the type of faculty who produce top quality, intellectually and culturally stimulating research and research-based teaching
"Quality is built in thimblefuls, and it can be spent in buckets," Powers said.

"It's basically impossible to get elected in Austin unless you are a Democrat."
— Andy Brown, chair of the Travis County Democratic Party, on the upcoming City Council election, according to KUT.
"They're listening, and this is the result."
— UT System spokesman Anthony de Bruyn, responding to the System's decision to redefine the role of newly hired special adviser Rick O'Donnell in light of criticisms from lawmakers regarding O'Donnell's views on university research, according to the Texas Tribune. O'Donnell will keep his $200,000 salary.
 College for inmates:
"We don't provide free college tuition for anyone else like this, so with the budget crisis we're facing, why should we for convicted felons?"
— House Corrections Committee Chairman Jerry Madden, R-Richardson, on his support to cut a program that funds college tuition for inmates, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
"The statistics show more inmates who participate have a lower recidivism rate. There is an advantage from a program like this."
— Windham School District Superintendent Debbie Roberts, who argues that the program allows inmates to prepare for life outside prison, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
Voter ID:

I know where all this is coming from and unfortunately I agree with all said about practising teachers/mentors. If these practicing teachers/mentors are your former students in the ELT department, it is more heartbreaking.
Considering the context we are teaching in, off top of my head, I cannot think of any incentive other than student learning, motivation, enjoyable lessons and professional satisfaction. Can you?

Indignity in Sweet Mode: A Man Called Ove
By Gary M. Kramer.
The title character of A Man Called Ove would probably not see the heartwarming Swedish film, A Man Called Ove, adapted from Fredrik Backman's national bestseller (2012, English translation in 2013). He is far too cynical, and would call this gentle comedy-drama "mush nonsense." Still, this poignant, touching crowd-pleaser might melt his hard-heartedness.
A 59-year-old widower who leaves his job as the film opens, Ove (Rolf Lassgård) has more contempt than patience for other people – he refers to almost everyone as an "idiot." He is also planning to kill himself to end the misery that is life. But just as he is about the hang himself, new neighbors move in and disrupt his solitude by periodically requiring Ove's assistance and attention. Parvaneh (Bahar Pars) is a pregnant Persian woman with an "idiot" Swedish husband Patrik (Tobias Almborg) and two young daughters (Nelly Jamarani and Zozan Akgun). She proves to be a perfect foil for Ove. She is kind where he is unpleasant; she's optimistic where he is curmudgeonly. He reluctantly assists her when she needs childcare. She cooks him chicken and saffron rice, which he grudgingly admits is delicious. She thaws his big, cold heart.
The best scenes in this engaging film have this odd couple at odds. She bosses him about when a stray cat camps out on his doorstop, and he teaches her how to drive, letting her know in no uncertain terms that if she can have children, learn a foreign language, and hold down a job, surely she can move an automobile forward. Yes, A Man Called Ove is a feel good odd-couple comedy, however, it also has its share of unfortunate traumas that prompt Ove's depression. There are points raised about fate, and there is even an It's a Wonderful Life quality to the film in that Ove's character impacts the lives of those around him more than he might care to admit. These messages go down smoothly given the film – and Ove's – tough-but-tender nature.
Ove is a stickler for rules in the neighborhood he patrols – keep the gate closed, no driving on the paths, and lock up your bicycles. He also cares for his car, putting newspaper on the seats to protect it. He has his reasons for being so rigid. Viewers come to understand how Ove developed his obstreperous demeanor. Of course, he will soften his position over time.
A series of nostalgia-tinged flashbacks depict Ove as a young man (Filip Berg). He recalls his father, whom he loved, and lost in a freak accident, as well as his late wife, Sonia (Ida Engvoll), whom he frequently visits and talks to at the cemetery. While these episodes flesh out Ove's character, a tragedy involving Sonia is foreshadowed, which builds suspense in a drawn-out episode.
Yet this life-affirming character study shows that despite Ove reprimanding almost everyone he encounters for even the most minor infraction – he cannot help but do good deeds. Ove is seen returning a wallet he found as a child, saving folks from a burning house as a young man, and even rescuing a man who fell on the train tracks. He may be what one character calls a "nit-picking obstructionist," but Ove is more complex than he may appear. While viewers are given a step-and-repeat motif outlining his fastidiousness, A Man Called Ove never makes his transformation to nicer guy feel too heavy-handed.
This may be in part because Ove is a surprisingly sympathetic character. If nothing else, he believes in justice – especially at the expense of "white shirts," bureaucrats who fail to take people's full situation into account. A subplot involving Ove's friend Rune (Börje Lundberg), who is in the process of being committed to an institution addresses this point – albeit somewhat obliquely for foreign audiences. Ove is also keen on social justice. When a character in a wheelchair requires a ramp, he builds it, simply because he feels no one should be disadvantaged – especially when white shirts are too pig-headed to realize the benefits of helping others. Likewise, after he inadvertently outs a young gay man, Mirsad (Poyan Karimi) to his homophobic father, Ove lets the man stay with him, as he feels responsible for the gay man's plight. Ove might not like people, and he may treat folks poorly, but he will never turn away from someone in need.
While there are perhaps too many stories in the film that reveal Ove's true character, narrative digressions, such as one about his penchant for driving Saabs while his friend Rune prefers Volvos, are amusing.
In the lead role, Lassgård is terrific, providing just the right mix of grumpiness and kindness to make Ove a likable misanthrope. Scenes of him causing trouble with a hospital clown or a nosy reporter are appropriately droll, but he is also excellent in an emotional scene when Ove has a bit of a meltdown. In support, Bahar Pars is sunny without being cloying as Parvaneh, a woman who seems to find the good in life, whereas Ove sees only the bad. Her sweetness nicely tempers the film's sourer elements.
A Man Called Ove is will certainly charm viewers who prefer gentle humor over ribaldry, and who have an appreciation for people maintaining their dignity, even if various characters suffer some indignities at the hands of Ove.

Article 32 Hearings Now Considered "Preliminary Hearings"
December 26th, 2014 saw a number of new laws come about that brought sweeping changes to certain military justice procedures, specifically Article 32 hearings. The changes were enacted mostly due to a perceived hostile environment in these hearings, especially for cross-examined victims of alleged sexual assault. Seeking to change this, the President and Congress have passed a bill that offers protections for these alleged victims during this trial process, along with other procedural changes that are meant to make Article 32 hearings further emulate a Federal preliminary hearings for civilian cases.
Understanding Article 32 and "Preliminary Hearing"
The purpose of an Article 32 hearing is to determine whether or not there is probable cause to proceed with a criminal hearing. Trial counsel, or the prosecutors, present whatever evidence investigating officers have collected and call witnesses to the stand. Defense council can then counter evidence and cross-examine witnesses. This process is overseen by a judge or a judge advocate (JA).
The new NDAA has renamed Article 32 hearings " preliminary hearings," its civilian law counterpart. The NDAA states that this is to clarify the purposes of these hearings: to find any probable cause, to determine whether or not there is jurisdiction to try the defendant, and to clarify the specific charges.
Further changes to Article 32 hearing break down into roughly three categories: 1) procedural, 2) victims' rights, and 3) accused's rights. We will explore each here, how they differ from prior procedure, and are pertinent to military criminal defense.
The NDAA has outlined several new changes to procedure for Article 32 hearings. These are in place largely to ensure a sound, impartial atmosphere that neither favors the defendant or trial counsel.
The use Judge Advocate (JA) as the hearing officer whenever "practicable"
The requirement that both trial and defense counsel not outrank the JA who is acting as the hearing officer.
Earlier in 2014, there was also a change requiring Judge Advocates to be investigating officers for Article 32 hearings for crimes dealing with sexual assault. This requirement has been carried over to the preliminary hearing no in effect. There is no exception to this rule. In these cases, the convening authority chooses the JA to oversee this hearing as preliminary hearing officer.
When Congress saw how some alleged sexual assault victims were handled in Article 32 hearings, they decided to make changes. These newest adjustments aim to create a less hostile environment for these proceedings and give the victim greater power to control their presence on the stand. The law has gone further to state that the alleged victim can decline participation in the hearing.
It should be noted here, on the last point, that defense counsel's request to interview the alleged victim through trial counsel is not for trial counsel's consideration. This is merely procedure and not a request for permission.
There are new restrictions on these interviews, as well. If the alleged victim chooses to participate, the trial counsel, a victim advocate, or special victim counsel must be present for questioning by the defense counsel.
Along with bolstered victims' rights, the defendants' rights have also been revised and in fact minimized. Like the other changes, these are made to help ensure a thorough and fair preliminary process.
Not all of these are new, of course, but the key difference here is the right to present evidence. Prior to the NDAA, defendants were only able to respond to evidence and testimony. This could make a huge difference for accused personnel who can produce alibis and other evidence challenging the prosecution before a court martial is needed. However, given the low standard of proof that has to be met to move a case forward to trial, it is unlikely that such a tactic will be used.
"How does this affect my case?"
The new changes put forth by the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) give the appearance that a case will be rubber stamped through the preliminary hearing process given the new changes implemented by congress. It will be interesting to see how this new procedure actually operates. Under the new law, alleged victims are not required to testify at the preliminary hearing. Preliminary hearings are not perceived as a "discovery tool" for the defense. In fact, the new law specifically states that it is not to be used as a "discovery tool." The key to remember with the new hearing is that fact that the preliminary hearing is not an investigative hearing any more. The government's evidence effectively cannot be tested in this venue. It is merely a probable cause hearing leaving many to wonder why the hearing is occurring in the first place. It can be argued that the defense now has the right to present new evidence, but good defense counsel were able to do that through the Article 32 process on cross examination of key government witnesses. It is hard to imagine from a tactical stand-point why a defense counsel would even put on evidence and present a case if the standard of proof for the hearing officer is so low. As this new hearing progress in practice, more articles will follow on its effectiveness for either the government or the defense. The way the law is written, the government prosecutors clearly have an advantage at the outset.
If you have a pending preliminary hearing and want to know how these NDAA changes could affect your particular case, we urge you to call Joseph L. Jordan, Attorney at Law. A knowledgeable and incisive military defense lawyer is ready with answers.

Nova Drenčina falu Horvátországban, Sziszek-Monoszló megyében. Közigazgatásilag Petrinyához tartozik.

Fekvése
Sziszek városától légvonalban 5, közúton 14 km-re délnyugatra, községközpontjának északkeleti szomszédságában a Kulpa jobb partján fekszik.

Története
Drenčina neve 1215-ben még birtokként bukkan fel először "praedium Drencina" alakban. Ezt követően a középkor folyamán még többször is említik, ezek az adatok azonban a Kulpa bal partján fekvő mai Stara Drenčinára vonatkoznak.

Nova Drenčina csak a 19. században keletkezett a Kulpa szemközti, jobb partján, Petrinya városától északkeletre . 1897-ben "Drencina nova" formában említik. A katonai határőrvidék része volt, majd ennek megszűnése után Zágráb vármegye Petrinyai járásának része lett. 1857-ben 87, 1910-ben 249 lakosa volt. A 20. század első éveiben a kilátástalan gazdasági helyzet miatt sokan vándoroltak ki a tengerentúlra. 1918-ban az új szerb-horvát-szlovén állam, majd később Jugoszlávia része lett. A második világháború idején a Független Horvát Állam része volt. A háború után a béke időszaka köszöntött a településre. Enyhült a szegénység és sok ember talált munkát a közeli városokban. A délszláv háború előestéjén lakosságának 73%-a horvát, 19%-a szerb nemzetiségű volt. A falu 1991. június 25-én a független Horvátország része lett. 1991. október 6-án a Petrinyából Sziszek irányába támadó szerb csapatok lerombolták a települést. A szerb támadásnak négy helybeli halálos áldozata volt. 2011-ben 404 lakosa volt.

Elements of Parametric Design
Parametric Modelling
Controller Jig Point Collection Reactor Selector
Table of Contents About the Author Bibliography (PDF)
Design is change. Parametric modeling represents change. It is an old idea, indeed one of the very first ideas in computer-aided design. In his 1963 PhD thesis, Ivan Sutherland was right in putting parametric change at the centre of the Sketchpad system, the first computer aided design (CAD) system. His invention of a representation that could adapt to changing context both created and foresaw one of the chief features of the CAD systems to come. The devices of the day prevented Sutherland from fully expressing what he might well have seen, that parametric representations could deeply transform design work itself. I believe that, today, the key to both using and making these systems lies in another, older idea.
People do design. Planning and implementing change in the world around us is one of the key things that make us human. Language is what we say; design and making is what we do. Computers are simply a new medium for this ancient enterprise. True, they are the first truly active medium. They are general symbol processors, almost limitless in the kind of tool that they can present. With much craft and care, we can program them to do much of what we call design. But not all. Designers continue to amaze us in with new function and form. Sometimes new work embodies wisdom, a precious commodity in a finite world. To the human enterprise of design, parametric systems bring fresh and needed new capabilities in adapting to context and contingency and exploring the possibilities inherent in an idea.
What is the new knowledge and skill designers need to master the parametric? How can we learn and use it? That is what this book is about. It aims to help designers realize the potential of the parameter in their work. It does so by combining basic ideas of parametric systems themselves with equally basic ideas from both geometry and computer programming.
This book explains many computer programs, but does not include them. Programs are best seen online, where they can be copied for your use. The book's programs are online at http://www.elementsofparametricdesign.com/.

Our school system is in serious trouble. It is failing miserably in fulfilling their primary responsibility to educate our children. Their focus is on social engineering and not on our children's academic success. Their reckless spending contributes to our real estate taxes going through the roof year after year. They are moving in on the family's responsibility for moral education by driving a wedge between children and parents.
I have a clear vision of what commonsense reforms can fix the issues. Please review various pages here on my website, to find out more about my ideas to reform Fairfax County School System as an At-Large board member. I am counting on your support!
We need to better-compensate the best we have than hire more, enforce performance standards for pay increases, stop overemphasizing reading/math test scores at the expense of real instruction, stop using teachers as tools for social engineering and allow them to be expert instructors in their chosen disciplines, and stop throwing endless bureaucracy and controls into the paths of teachers. Teachers should be trusted and be able to enforce discipline in their classrooms.
We have to learn from the success of Asian communities in STEM and make appropriate adjustments to our STEM curriculum and methods. Similarly, more and more of our population have become international and immigrant in nature, thereby making schools the only place to learn much US History. Citizens having sound knowledge of the nation's history with perspective's developed on that knowledge is critical in shaping the destiny of a nation.
Direct instruction methods such as Direct Instruction System for Teaching Arithmetic and Reading (DISTAR) in contrast to exploratory models such as inquiry-based learning is found to be much more effective, and should be explored. Education choices afforded by School Voucher programs in 15 states and Washington, D.C have proven to make situation better. School vouchers give parents the freedom to choose a private school for their children, using all or part of the public funding set aside for their children's education. Charter Schools are another option to be explored for districts with consistently bad results.
Politicians and vested interest trying to dilute such programs by branding those as not equitable and diverse enough is fundamentally wrong. Such approach will erode the much-acclaimed merit reputation of the FCPS system. Opportunity for all is equity in my definition, not lowering the bars so that everyone can feel good about themselves. We should assertively address and remove the hurdles in the path of the disadvantaged instead of diluting the standards for all.
Since parents can opt out their children from FLE but not from "Emotional and Social Health", the school board also moved much of FLE to "Emotional and Social Health" unit, making those lessons mandatory with no opt-out. These actions despite overwhelming majority of parents' opposing must be reversed. The attitude that systems and the government know more about the needs for children than their parents is wrong and should be corrected immediately.
The system explicitly tells the kids that it understands them better, not their parents. There is no system in the world that can replace the care and concern of loving parents and so any counseling should require parental involvement. Reduction in parental involvement in schools should be addressed with a sense of urgency. Avenues of parental involvement should be aggressively advocated for, preserved and protected.
Our elementary schools currently do not have permanent security staffing, while middle and high schools are staffed with just one school resource officer each. Efforts in strengthening mental health support systems should have a holistic and root cause inquisitive approach. Seeking family involvement from early on in doubtful behavioral situations would help reveal fault lines before it is too late.
in understanding the underlying reasons for poor performance and in addressing them effectively. The School Board has to do more than blindly signing off on proposals brought out by unelected bureaucrats and special interests. Throwing more money alone won't solve problems. Prolific sole source contracting without competition and lack of stricter auditory framework is another major concern.
Because he is a Champion for Academic Rigor and A Voice for Families.
He lives in McLean, Virginia with his wife and technology leader Asha Palathingal. Vinson and Asha have two children, Xavier & Stephen, both graduated from McLean High School. They both went to UVA for their Computer Science degrees, Xavier graduated in 2015 and Stephen will graduate in 2021. During his children's school years, Vinson has been a mentor to many students and has volunteered many hours in Fairfax County school programs. Such activities include being a yearlong instructor for 'Hands on Science' program at Haycock Elementary School, providing parental guidance to student teams in Science Olympiad at Longfellow Middle School and helping his son founding and successfully launching the Science Olympiad team at McLean High School.
Vinson is a technology entrepreneur and the executive director of the Indo-American Center. He has vast experience with engineering and technology industries over the last 3 decades, that ranges from buildings and road construction to block chains and artificial intelligence. As an insider of the technology industry, Vinson has access to the network and knowledge hub enabling him to be a good mentor providing guidance to youth. He serves as a career counselor to many, especially STEM graduates, providing insights into industry workings and knowledge on best-suited career paths. He has substantial experience in providing IT training to individuals from across different disciplines. He has successfully facilitated migration of professionals from different fields who are interested in and wanted to pursue different types of IT jobs, without having to earn a degree in technology.
His vision for STEM education is driven by an idea of blended educational programs that cover technical, psycho-social and experiential trainings. Such an approach liberates classrooms of traditional learning and nourishes informal learning environments that are technologically stimulating. Students are thereby exposed to thrilling and lucrative futures in IT and can first-hand witness their contribution affecting change. Vinson engages closely with the Indian diaspora, whose continued dependence and success from technology has largely shaped their standing in American society. Vinson intends to leverage this expertise and help perpetuate that to mainstream America.
Vinson is a proactive leader in the Indian American Community activities nationally and has his signature on many important events and campaigns that happened in the community. In 2015, Vinson started the 501 (c) (3) foundation, the Indo-American Center, a free-market think tank spreading the message of liberty and small government ideals in both India and the US. Vinson is determined to do whatever it takes to ensure that the socialist communist principles and a centrally controlled economy that he had to run away from in India for better opportunities in US, doesn't follow him and take a foot hold in his adopted land.

May 12 Where did I go?
Oh the stories I could tell! Over the few weeks, it has been crazy around here. We had Grammy's birthday, we had a cancer diagnosis after it was cured, we have had much drama with The Sad House, we have had even more drama about The Lawyer's Fee-Generating Lawsuit (fittingly just before Mother's Day...thanks to my MIL and the big bad scary abusive law firm...way to go!), and last but so very not least, Baby C is now a year old.
I also was heavily involved with a project concerning my beloved and recently departed Papa Doty. During the archeological dig that is his home, his World War II journals were unearthed. To describe them as chilling, moving, amazing, beautiful would be selling them short.
If you are feeling curious, and would like to read them, they are here and here.
During all of this, turmoil, angst, busy-ness, I have been fretting about my neglect of vertigobcooks. I have been trying desperately to come up with a post. I have about a half dozen half-written, half-hearted posts, but not a single one has been right.
Truth be told, I have been fretting about many many things...for about two years. In that short space of time we have gotten sued (by my Mother-in-Law...Happy Mother's Day!), found out we were having Baby C, gone bankrupt (I don't recommend it), lost my grandfather, had a cancer scare, had countless stress-related medical problems, lost a house, got a house back, paid far too much money to lawyers that failed to get results, kept a business going in this economy and a bunch of other stuff that got lost along the way for obvious reasons.
Last week the notion of anti-depressants was floated by our therapist. For now, I (after much discussion and thought with Mr. Smith) have decided to ride this out. I am hoping that this will pass and that it will not become necessary to take them, but none of us know what the future holds. Our situation may get worse or our situation may get better.
In the meantime, we are seeking comfort where we can find it. Naturally, food provides comfort and heaven knows, I (we) need it now.
We will just have to wait and see and that is the hardest part.
For now, I choose to focus on these two little faces. They will make me laugh, will make me smile, will brighten my day when I need it brightened. The caption for this photo comes from Mr. Smith, "No drooling on the piano!"
I rediscovered this gem the other day. It is one of those that you can whip up after dinner, or have for an after school snack, or just because you need some chocolate to tide you over while you wait for the next disaster to sweep over you.
Combine butter, sugar, milk and cocoa in a medium sauce pan. Heat until boiling. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add peanut butter, oats and vanilla. Once mixture is thoroughly blended, drop by teaspoonful (or tablespoonful, if you are feeling ambitious or particularly in need of comfort) onto wax paper or parchment paper.
Allow to set, if you can. I keep them in a plastic storage container in the fridge, but what you do with them at this point is entirely up to you. They are pretty tasty, even while still warm, comforting too!

Trolley pier down: Solution in search of problem
jem@ydr.com
OK, in the scheme of things, the removal of the landmark trolley pier in the Conewago Creek near Manchester will not cause the tides to stop rolling in or, more to the metaphorical point, stop the flow of this northeastern York County waterway.
But it's a concrete example, literally, of a waste of money. More than $20,000 was needed to remove the 100-something-year-old pier so that debris would no longer back up on its upstream side.
The "Thorn" awarded the demolition by the York Daily Record gives a summary and a way the money could have been put to better use:
"To the removal of an obsolete trolley track pier in the Conewago Creek in Newberry Township. The removal of this link to local history (Elm Beach) seems like a waste of time and money – even if it is being paid for with private funds from Safe Harbor Dam. If local officials want to fix safety hazards on local creeks, they should focus on removing or retrofitting dangerous low-head dams, which are aptly called 'drowning machines.' ''
Or maybe putting it another way: The pier removal was a $20,000 solution in search of problem.
So, we'll stay in the same location and switch to a happier moment linked to Conewago Crossing:
Lorraine Rhodes Fuhrman of Bigfork, Minnesota, with childhood connections to the Manchester area, asked for photos of Cold Springs Park, on the south bank of the Conewago Creek. The trolley bridge connected it with its north bank attraction, Elm Beach.
We posted up her query and Larry Good and Charles Stambaugh, both from that region of the county, delivered with photos found in the gallery at the top of this post:
I shared the gallery with Lorraine and received a response, excerpted here:
"I am so grateful for the information you provided today; I feel like a kid opening a long-awaited gift at Christmas. To make these connections via photographs is a bit like stepping back into my childhood days--entertaining precious memories!
I have downloaded the YDR APP and am eager to start this journey down memory lane. Growing up in Manchester, my parents shopped downtown York. Again, wonderful memories of walking along Market Street, Philadelphia Street, Central Market; sometimes entering the stores to shop; riding the elevators--greeting the elevator operators; window shopping--especially at Christmas, seeing the magical decorations; and always stopping at Mike's Peanut Shop and picking up a bag of warm, fragrant, roasted peanuts for my dad. So thankful for these cherished memories. "
Boosting off-peak ridership:
Cold Springs was one of four electric parks operating in York County 90 years ago. The other three? Forest in Hanover, Brookside in Dover and Highland in West Manchester Township.

An article from Maria Seywald in Company | 02.07.2018
Child care à la Krones – a success story
It's 2006. Krones AG is employing around 4776 people in Neutraubling. A not inconsiderable number of them draw up a shared plan – and it has nothing whatever to do with the machinery manufacturer's core business.
"The idea of a child day care centre originated in a dialogue between the Human Resources Department and the Executive Board," relates Brigitte Hertrampf, who was actively involved in the project right from the start as part of the HR team. "After we had done some research, we quickly realised that we didn't want an off-the-peg concept from an outside provider. We wanted our child day care centre to be more flexible, to be perfectly matched to the company itself, and to offer the parents an opportunity to get their own ideas adopted." So one thing was clear: the development work had to be handled by committed employees. The child day care centre was to be financed by an organisation called "Kroki Neutraubling e.V.".
"The levels of interest and commitment were really huge right from the start. Very many staff – understandably enough most of them parents – got very. very meaningfully involved in the project. And all of it outside their jobs in their free time," says an enthusiastic Daniela Giehrl, nowadays a member of the organisation's executive committee, who still recalls those early days with affection. Then the work really got started: in several project groups, with approximately four to ten members each, the Kroki was finalised within two years. "Construction work, finances, the pedagogic concept …," Brigitte Hertrampf and Daniela Giehrl begin to enumerate the issues being tackled back then. And they concur: "There was a lot of work involved in the first few years. But this meant the founding members had an opportunity to give the child day car centre the face they wanted and to match the concept perfectly to their needs."
The first "Krokis"
2008 saw the inauguration: the Kroki opened its doors for the first 23 children. By the second year, the number of places had already increased to keep pace with demand, to its present-day 44. "The children are divided into three groups", explains Stefanie Wellenhofer, who has been in charge of the facility since 2012. "We have two groups for the children aged between four months and three, and one group for kindergarten children aged three and over." By the way: each child usually has at least one parent who works for Krones. But that's not mandatory: "Basically, children of outside parents are welcome as well. However, every year we receive many more applications than we can accept. Needless to say. Krones' parents and their children have priority when it comes to allocating places," explains Daniela Giehrl. Talking of parents: they meanwhile, of course, no longer have quite as much to do as the parents in the Kroki's initial years. Nonetheless, it's important to all those responsible that the parents of the current Kroki kids continue to get involved and help to design the programme. "The whole concept is based upon getting the parents actively involved," concur my interviewees. "But it wouldn't be possible, either, without all the staff in the company who repeatedly help out. There are some departments that even donate their coffee kitty, but also colleagues who assist us with DIY, or lend a helping hand when it comes to organisational matters. Besides the financial support from Krones, it's above all these kind souls in the company who are crucial for ensuring that the Kroki concept has worked so well over what is meanwhile ten years."
On 7 July it will now be time to celebrate this ten-year success story. Invitations have gone out to Kroki children of recent years, together with their families, and to those among Krones' staff who with admirable commitment are repeatedly prepared to help out. With a Punch and Judy show, a bouncy castle and a brief pictorial retrospective, the celebrations will last all day – reliable sources suggest that the children, too, have prepared a small surprise.
In conclusion, while we're about it: not everything has become easier in the past ten years – finding open-minded, qualified staff has never been more difficult. Currently we're looking for a new carer (m/f) to support the Kroki team as from next September. Anyone interested is more than welcome to get in touch directly with the day care centre's management; you'll find the relevant information on the website.

Radio presenter discovers her photos are being used on fake Tinder profile 'looking for fun'
The fake profiles claimed the pretty 26-year-old was a younger air stewardess

A RADIO presenter was stunned to discover photos of her had been used on fake dating sites saying she was "looking for fun".
Emma Louise Jones found the pictures on various social media and dating sites across the country claiming she is an air stewardess.

The fake profiles, which also included one of her working at Morrisons, suggested she was looking to share "great times" and wants to date but doesn't want "anything serious".
She now doesn't know if it was just one person or a number of different people who had decided to pretend they looked like her.
Emma, 26, said: "It has happened on a few occasions that they have sent me a profile with me on it under a different name, like a screenshot after they have seen it on Tinder or one of their friends has come across it."

"Basically, they have said I am in different professions and that I am 'looking for fun'.
"On the most recent one, I am called Anna and I work at Morrisons.
"On a Tinder one, I am 22, which is quite flattering.
"They have used my photo on that.
"There's one that says I am waiting to share 'great times' and I want to 'date but nothing serious'. Oh, and I'm an air steward on that one."

Emma, who co-presents a breakfast show on Viking FM in Hull, East Yorks, is now worried how far the deception will go.
She has made her Facebook profile as private as possible but is struggling to report some of the fake accounts.
"What kind of bizarre person thinks 'oh what I will do is I will pretend to be somebody else on a profile and try to get a date with people' because that person is never going to turn up, so where are they going to take it? How far are they going to go with it?
"You don't know if it is a random person who does this daily to lots of different people or if it somebody who has a vendetta against you."

She continued: "I used to think to myself 'God I am walking around and who knows what I have said to these people'. Anyone walking around me, I could have been speaking to them.
"It did worry me a little bit. At first, I laughed it off, but after the second or third one, I was a bit concerned about the fact that they could be saying anything to anybody and you just don't know.
"Then if you pass someone in the street, for all I know that person who has been pretending to be me could have been saying anything to that person.
"It is really weird. For all I know, there could be a few more floating around but it is nice that people have gone out of their way to message me."
