How to Make Change Happen
By Cory Allen Heidelberger
The Occupy Wall Street movement has clearly succeeded in occupying America's attention. The big question now is when will these protesters succeed in effecting real change?
Perhaps they already have. Last week, the Obama Administration decided to investigate alternative routes for the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. That decision prompted TransCanada to promise to reroute Keystone XL away from the ecologically sensitive Nebraska Sand Hills and the Ogallala Aquifer.
Naomi Klein contends that pipeline opponents couldn't have won these concessions without Occupy Wall Street's efforts to "change the conversation." Perhaps.
But the Occupiers won't win their broader fight for the 99% without learning from Keystone XL's opponents. In fighting TransCanada's tar sands pipeline, folks like Jane Kleeb and Bill McKibben took on big corporate power. Like Occupy Wall Street, they had no unifying big-money partisan network. Unlike Occupy, they rallied thousands of people around a very specific, measurable goal: stop Keystone XL.
Keystone XL opponents staged numerous public protests, but they took their fight to the decision-makers who could hand them victory. From the Nebraska Legislature to the White House, pipeline protesters made clear to the decision-makers that making the wrong decision on Keystone XL would have political consequences.
And the decision-makers listened. Governor Dave Heineman changed his mind and called the Nebraska Legislature into special session to consider new pipeline regulations. President Obama, who had seemed distressingly tone-deaf on Keystone XL, started to pay attention to the protests and send signals about the right priorities. The Obama Administration's decision last week clearly signaled that Kleeb, McKibben, and the rest of us got our message across. Mission accomplished.
I want Occupy Wall Street to do some good for the 99%. But to do that good, Occupy needs to build on raising voices and awareness to advance clear policy objectives. They need to turn changing the conversation into changing the rules.
Keystone XL protesters won by challenging specific lawmakers on a specific policy goal. They grabbed the political bull by the horns and steered it in a different direction. Occupiers, do the same. You've Occupied the streets. Now it's time to Occupy the decision-makers. Forget Occupying the parks and Wall Street. Occupy the statehouses. Occupy the White House. Occupy Congress.

I'm all for occupying Pierre. Right now its the lobbyists and corporate top guns who occupy it, not only during the legislative session but 12 months a year.
At the annual McGovern Conference in Mitchell on Monday, there was a good discussion on how in South Dakota - where we preach such egalitarian practices and we seem to distrust large institutions -- it seems Goliath still wins over David when it comes to decisions made in the capitol or at the ballot box.
I guess the 99% in SD think that Goliath will be a job creator and they'll be part of his entourage.
Rebecca said:
Nice call to action!

caheidelberger said:
Indeed, Rebecca! But we've still got to decide on some specific actions. Suggestions are welcome!
Bernie, we could use a lot more people occupying the hearings and the halls at the Capitol during session. How about we move session to summer so all of us teachers can come lobby? :-)
02:48 pm - Fri, November 18 2011
I always thought that holding a 35-day marathon in the coldest weeks of the year has been one of the great impediments to justice and democracy in SD. We certainly don't get any passers-by off the street, I can tell you that.
But that ain't likely to change.
dave tunge said:
Goliath does still win.......he's bigger and stronger.......but Davey gets a lick in now and then. And that's as it should be. If we were a one party government our state is the loser. Agree or not, it's best we all have our differences and accept the will of the voters.
A 35-day marathon once every three years would do wonders to curtail non-essential fluffball bills.

Finished. Suddenly feel exhausted. It's been a marvellous journey. Physically very challenging but much time to contemplate as the pedals span round. Here we all are outside St Peters. 9 of the riders survived from our first trip along the Via Francigena in 2007.

Lunch in a garage car park with just 15 miles to go. The last 20 hilly miles took an hour: if nothing else we are all fitter.
Eating lunch under the acacia trees in Aquapendente ("hanging water" from the waterfalls). The Basilica of the Holy Sepulchre has an amazing 12th century crypt which reproduces the tomb at Jerusalem. Bare, empty, visible only if you pit €1 in the slot for light, there are figures at the burial, and then behind a metal grille the figures await the Christmas Nativity.

There are now regular viewings of other pilgrims on the way. Most are on foot with some on bikes. The route in Italy is reasonably well signposted. The lime tree avenues of France and Northern Italy giving shade along the route gave way to Stone Pines along the road in Piedmont. Now there are just pencil pines and harvested fields. Less than 100 miles to Rome.
In the small hilltop fortified and hilltop Tuscan Village of the Monteriggioni. It's on the Via. Beautiful village square with St Mary's church. 38.5 degrees. Phew.

Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ
Special Presentation October 8, 2009
Honorary Degree: Doctor of Religious Studies
Conferred on Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ
Candidate presented by: Rev. G. Simon Harak, S.J., Director, Center for Peacemaking
Sister Helen Prejean, CSJ, has been instrumental in sparking national dialogue on the death penalty and helping to shape the Catholic Church's vigorous opposition to capital punishment.
Sister Helen joined the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille in 1957. After earning her bachelor's degree from St. Mary's Dominican College in New Orleans and a master's degree in religious education from St. Paul's University in Ottawa, Canada, she taught religion to junior and senior high school students. She also served as formation director for her religious community.
Realizing that being on the side of poor people is an essential part of the Gospel, she moved into the St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans and began working at Hope House New Orleans, a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the less fortunate.
During this time, she was asked to correspond with a death row inmate named Patrick Sonnier at Angola State Prison in Louisiana. She agreed and became his spiritual adviser. At the same time, she became concerned with the plight of murder victims' families and subsequently founded "Survive," a victim's advocacy group that provides counseling and support for grieving families. Following Sonnier's execution, Sister Helen wrote a book about her experiences entitled Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. Dead Man Walking made the 1994 American Library Associates Notable Book List, it was also nominated for a 1993 Pulitzer Prize, and it spent 31 weeks at number one on the New York Times Best-Seller list. In 1996 the book was made into a major motion picture starring Susan Sarandon as Sister Helen and Sean Penn as a death row inmate.
Since 1984 Sister Helen has divided her time between educating citizens about the death penalty and counseling individual death row prisoners. She has accompanied six men to their deaths. In doing so, she began to suspect that some of those executed were not guilty. This realization inspired her second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, published in 2004. In that book she tells the story of two men she believes were innocent, taking the reader through the evidence, including evidence the juries never heard, and examining how flaws inextricably entwined in the death penalty system inevitably lead to innocent people being executed.
She is presently at work on her third book, River of Fire: My Spiritual Journey to Death Row. Sister Helen served as chair of the board of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. In recognition of her commitment to social justice and the culture of life, she has received many awards and honorary degrees.
For her extraordinary courage, determination, activism, and outreach, it is my great pleasure to recommend Sister Helen Prejean of the Congregation of St. Joseph for the Marquette University Degree of Doctor of Religious Studies honoris causa.

Reduced bioaccumulation of PAHs by Lactuca satuva L. grown in contaminated soil amended with sewage sludge and sewage sludge derived biochar
Sardar Khan, Ning Wang, Brian J. Reid, Alessia Freddo, Chao Cai
Centre for Ecology, Evolution and Conservation
The influence of sewage sludge (SS) and sewage sludge biochar (SSBC) upon biomass yield and the bioaccumulation of PAHs into lettuce plants grown in contaminated soil (?16PAH 20.2 ± 0.9 mg kg) is presented. All SSBC amendments (2, 5 and 10%) and the 2% SS amendment significantly (P <0.01) increased lettuce biomass. Both SS and SSBC amendments significantly reduced (P <0.01) the bioaccumulation of PAHs at all application levels; with reduction in ?16PAH concentration ranging between 41.8 and 60.3% in SS amended treatments and between 58.0 and 63.2% in SSBC amended treatments, with respect to the control. Benefits in terms of biomass production and PAHs bioaccumulation reduction were greatest where SSBC was used as a soil amendment. At high application rates (10%) SSBC reduced bioaccumulation of PAHs by between 56% and 67%, while SS reduced bioaccumulation of PAHs by less than 44%.

Home Features JUNE ARRIVALS
JUNE ARRIVALS
Hiren Kumar Bose offers a quick look at the six new watches now available in the stores
ULYSSE NARDIN Diver Chronometer
The 44mm Diver Chronometer, a diving watch is crafted to withstand up to three hundred meters of potentially deadly water pressure, its inverted, concave bezel with domed sapphire glass is a breakthrough in exquisite watchmaking. The face heralds the mechanical marvel of the UN-118 movement with its silicium technology – a speciality of the Manufacture – visible through the open back. Superluminova on the indexes and hands make the hours and minutes visible not only in the dark but also at great depths. The face is adorned with a power reserve indicator at 12 o'clock and a date and small seconds at 6 o'clock, all nestled within the unidirectional rotating bezel. The numbers on the face have been redrawn to read 0-15-30-45. Even the rubber and titanium strap of the watch has been cleverly reworked with the clasp replaced by a pin buckle and streamlined with just one easily identifiable Ulysse Nardin signature "element". Sturdy, blue rubber guards protect the crown.
PANERAI Luminor Marina
The brand's iconic Luminor Marina, both in 42mm and 44 mm case, is now presented in stainless steel case and bracelet with the P.9010 Manufacture automatic mechanical movement. With a special brushed finish formed of vertical stripes, and large figures covered with white luminous material it ensures excellent visibility at night and underwater. Symmetrical with the date at 3 o'clock is the counter at 9 o'clock in which the blue small seconds hand rotates, blue being the colour of Panerai and the sea, the element with which the brand has always been historically linked. The case, made of AISI 316L stainless steel, an alloy particularly resistant to corrosion, has the classic Panerai design, unmistakable thanks to the "bridge", a device which protects the winding crown, and it is fitted with a perfectly integrated metal bracelet. The shape of each link recalls the iconic bridge and it is harmoniously integrated with the other links – without any screws.
BAUME & MERCIER Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar
The Clifton Baumatic Perpetual Calendar combines the Baumatic BM13-1975AC-1 movement with a perpetual calendar module to bring its latest creation to life. The Baumatic self-winding movement offers optimal reliability. In addition to a five-day power reserve, the watch resists to the main magnetic fields of daily life. This model only requires maintenance service once every seven years rather than three to five years recommended for a traditional watch. By indicating the date, the day of the week, the month and the phases of the moon while automatically taking into account the variable lengths of months and the leap year cycle, the requires no date correction before March 1st, 2100, a non-leap year.
Zenith Defy El Primero 21 Midnight Black
Zenith introduces a striking limited edition of the groundbreaking Zenith Defy El Primero 21 in Midnight Black Ceramic with a Zenith Blue movement. Available in a bold mix of black and blue tones as an exclusive limited edition of 250 pieces, its chronograph boasts an outstanding frequency of 360,000 vph (50 Hz), ten times that of its El Primero predecessor, enabling 1/100th of a second precision. An exquisitely designed display magnifies the effect of this astonishing frequency: the inner bezel bears a scale graduated from 1 to 100 around which a 1/100th of a second-hand sweeps at a lightning speed of one turn per second, offering unprecedented visual impact and a surreal sensory experience of time for the wearer. Housed in a 44mm Midnight Black ceramic case, the watch's open dial offers an unobstructed view of the revolutionary chronograph movement finished with a Zenith Blue hue and topped by a star-tipped 1/100th of a second central hand, large luminescent baton-type hands and facetted hour-markers. Sleek ruthenium-plated hour-markers and hands filled with SuperLumiNova add volume to the complex openworked dial featuring a chronograph power-reserve indication at 12 o'clock, hours and minutes in the centre, small seconds at 9 o'clock, black 60-second counter at 6 o'clock and a distinctive blue 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock.
BANGALORE WATCH COMPANY

Diamonds, mother-of-pearl and genuine stones come together in a sophisticated watch design in the Forever Fendi Collection. The ultimate sophistication is translated through the watch's dial enhanced with iridescent mother-of-pearl, genuine stones or polished lacquer to catch the light. Distinguished by a contrasting interplay of finishes and colours, the iconic interlocking FF logo shaped central links on the bracelet stand out in the overall design

Baylor ethicists discuss key issues facing citizen science
Allison Mickey
Houston, TX - Jul 13, 2018
Christi Guerrini, instructor in the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine.
With the increasing popularity of citizen science, or research conducted or aided by the general population, intellectual property issues are of increasing concern. In a paper published in Science, ethicists at Baylor College of Medicine discuss the credit, control, quality and safety issues faced by citizen scientists.
"Citizen science has a long history in certain fields, but it's expanding to new areas like health and medicine. To fully recognize its potential, we need to consider whether mechanisms that were designed to address concerns for traditional research projects are a good fit for citizen science," said Christi Guerrini, assistant professor in the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor. "The universe of citizen science is large and diverse, but three issues that are relevant to most citizen science projects involve intellectual property, research integrity and protections for participants."
In a traditional research environment, contributors to the work are credited according to employment contracts, institutional guidelines and funding requirements that may adjust default copyright and patent laws. Citizen scientists, however, are volunteers and are not bound or aided by many of these stipulations.
"Volunteer agreements with citizen scientists can be tailored to different research circumstances to ensure intellectual property protections are appropriate and acceptable to those involved in the research," Guerrini said. "In this paper, we argue that resources should be used to encourage transparency and good-faith negotiation of intellectual property terms during the planning stages of projects."
Additionally, the traditional criteria for authorship on research papers may not apply well to citizen science contexts, and it may be necessary to revisit those guidelines to extend authorship and alter responsibilities where volunteer scientists are involved.
Another concern that has been the subject of much attention is the integrity of citizen science research processes and data. To address issues such as conflicts of interest and personal biases, citizen science projects may follow guides, tools and templates that have been developed to promote research integrity from initial planning to final evaluation.
"However, we need to study the extent to which these resources are being used in practice," added Guerrini.
Importantly, citizen scientists do not benefit from the same labor laws or risk protections as those employed in traditional research settings. There are fewer ways to ensure the level of risk to participants is minimized and reasonable in relation to anticipated benefits.
"Of the three issues we examined, the question of participant protections is of the most immediate concern and will likely require the most extensive policy attention," Guerrini said.
To implement truly effective and successful policies to guide citizen science, however, Guerrini and study co-authors argue that policies must respect the culture and spirit of the field, and its participants must play a major role in their development.
"Individuals are increasingly engaging as partners in the design and conduct of research. As the field of citizen science continues to grow, it is important to respect that partnership while developing policies that protect the integrity of the research as well as citizen scientists themselves," said Dr. Amy McGuire, director of the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor and co-author on the paper.
This work was supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute. Other contributors to this work include Mary Majumder and Meaganne Lewellyn with Baylor College of Medicine.
