The good Professor has degrees in Food Science, Environmental Science, Agriculture, Micro-Bacterial Cultures and Urban Ecology. His paper titled "The Variety of Flavours Available in the Mulch at the Bottom of Your Typical Garbage Can and How to Use Them in Hobo Cuisine" was a must read until his dog ate it moments after completion.
One of the rare raccoon shots that I was able to get during the last few days of this year's vacation in '07... and one of the coolest raccoon stills that I've been able to take yet (out of all 5 days worth so far in total... :))!! Man, I love raccoons!!
Watch this raccoon in action!:

This photo appeared in the Bulletin, Number 20, November 20 to December 4, 1989. The text was:
"Committee focuses on research ethics
Professor Cliff Hooker describes the Senate Research Ethics Committee as ‘one of the quiet committees of the University’ – quietly working behind the scenes to ensure the University fulfils its responsibilities. Professor Hooker is Chair of the SREC and what follows is an article on the committee’s work, written by him
The primary function of the Senate Research Ethics Committee is to ensure that all research proposals by University staff and students satisfy community ethical standards.
Roughly speaking, SREC tries to ensure to two things:
•That participants in Research (especially patients, clients and student of medical practitioners) have their integrity and autonomy as a person respected and protected, and
•That any physical harm or risks to them from research activities are both minimised and clearly outweighed by the benefits of that research (benefits which either come to themselves directly or to the community at large).
All formal research proposals conducted by University staff and students are provided with an ethics application form which is completed at the same time as the research proposal is drawn up. All of the ethics application forms, together with copies of the original research proposal, are then bought before SREC and discussed in detail.
The Committee has to come to a clear understanding of what is involved for both participants and researchers in a particular piece of research and to decide if everyone’s best interest’s have been carefully taken into account.
Often the committee will seek to come to an agreement with the researcher to alter the proposed research so as to improve the care with which it treats the people involved. In these cases it is typically not because the researcher had been careless, but because it is often beyond any one person’s ability to see all the ways in which people are affected by the research activity, especially ways which lie outside of the research focus itself. The non-research, community members of SREC play an especially valuable role here.
Typical concerns
Here are some typical concerns that arise in SREC discussions.
Researcher A will be asking for volunteers from a hospital outpatient clinic to conduct a drug trial. Is there a clear statement of the nature of this testing which sets out fully and clearly the possible side effects and their likely severity?
Researcher B wishes to do some blood testing with similarly selected volunteers. Is there the voluntary consent form which can be handed to the volunteers and on which they may record in writing their voluntary consent to participate? Ensuring well-informed voluntary consent is a primary way in which the integrity and autonomy of people is respected.
Researcher C wishes to conduct some skills testing in primary schools so as to better understand how children learn in social group, but there is some danger from the way the procedures are proposed that some children may be labelled ad ‘dumb’ or poor learners, by either teachers or their fellow students. In this case SREC will be keen to ensure that research procedures are not discriminatory in this way as well as, e.g. not being discriminatory on religious, racial, sexual or other grounds.
Researcher D wishes to take blood samples from student, accompanied by a variety of other information, for genetic research of a general statistical nature. Nonetheless, SREC will be concerned that the anonymity of the donors is fully protected, perhaps by ensuring that samples are indentified only by a number after they are take, or that all indentifying information is kept under lock and key and subsequently destroyed once the statistics have been extracted.
On the other hand, SREC will be equally concerned to ensure that sample are taken under the supervision of qualified medical personnel, that people for whom it might be not be advisable to give the blood sample are screened on (e.g. pregnant women) and that there is access to medical assistance for the rare case where that may be required. In this case SREC will be equally concern to ensure that the safety of staff taking the blood samples is protected through the use of proper procedure for handling blood.
Researcher E wants to conduct a questionnaire in private hones concerning consumer spending patterns, family income, etc, but the real focus of the research cannot be made explicit without spoiling the responses which people given.
SREV will be concerned to ensure that people are approached courteously and with care for their voluntary participation, and it will also want to ensue that any sensitive information taken is treated with proper confidentiality. But, especially in this case, it will require that all those who did agree to participate are subsequently fully informed of the aims and results of the research so as to clearly indicate by its value the worth-whileness of having participated.
All of which means a great deal of work for the SREC Committee members. During the course of any one year more than 50 major research grant applications would have been reviewed and about the same number of senior students research project would also be reviewed.
In addition to this the committee is constantly discussing the principles on which it operates and also the new documents on research ethics which regularly appear from various groups such as NH&MRC.
Committee members
The committee member is made up entirely of volunteers. About half of these are drawn from the most involved sections of the University research staff. The other half are community representatives. Your current SREC Committee is:
Ms Carol Abela, lawyer in private practice; Richard Barry, Associate Professor, Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine; Ms Jo Bentley, Lecturer, Department of Legal Studies; Ms Margaret Gibberd, businesswomen; Cliff Hooker, Professor of Philosophy (Chairperson); Graham Lawrence, Dean, Christchurch Cathedral; Dr Don Munro, Psychology; Tim Roberts, Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences; Ms Maralyn Rowley, Nurse and Patient Advocate and Roger Smith, Associate Professor, Faculty of Medicine.
Besides their responsibilities to individual researchers, the Committee maintains a fruitful liaison with the Hunter Area Research and Ethics Committee, based at Royal Newcastle Hospital, and participates in the national network of institutional ethics committees which seeks to improve the quality and consistency of ethical decision making in research.
The SREC’s responsibilities continue to widen. Most recently, for example, NH&MRC have been pressing ethics committees to monitor on-going research to ensure that ethical standards continue to be met.
And there is and ever-widening range of University activities for which SREC is expected to offer ethically-informed guidance.
And the ethical responsibilities go on growing more complex as community expectations and legal involvement rise. For both the small committee of ‘quiet volunteers’ and the University which supports them, the future will present some very interesting challenges!"

David Suleiman is a professor from The University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. David's project at NETL in Morgantown, W.Va is to develop a supervisory control scheme for load following in a hybrid system. The objective is to divide power generation between the fuel cell and the turbine during power demand changes, i.e. responding faster with the gas turbine and then adjusting the fuel cell load over a sufficient time in order to avoid excessive temperature oscillation in the fuel cell. Temperature variation represents a constraint in the control problem. In the first stage, the control architecture will be implemented and tested on a numerical model.
The participant will learn the following skills: 1) Learn to operate a hybrid facility and write test plans. This will include training on
thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry, and fluid dynamics, as well as project specific training by the project RP (Dr. David
Tucker) 2) Develop a supervisory control scheme for load following in a hybrid system. 3) Prepare a paper based on the results for
submission to a peer-reviewed conference or journal. David's mentor is David Tucker.
Weddings are complicated affairs. When, where and what am I going to wear? A wedding is complicated in real life and equally complex in Second Life.
An old friend invited me to his best friend's wedding. My friend was the best man and he had never been part of a wedding party. So I went to help support him and get some inspiration for when I get married...
Annie and Douglas, a beautiful couple held their nuptials at Rose Gardens. The sim is built for weddings and it is simply elegant.
Annie's dress was beautiful and Douglas was elegant in his tuxedo. Morgana Shi was the minister and her words were beautiful spoken and timely for the couple.
My friend was best man while Benny was another attendant. Penny and Shila were Annie's bridesmaids.
I didn't know anyone there except for my friend, but all welcomed me as part of their special day. I had a lot of fun that afternoon just talking and watching a beautiful event.
Yes, a wedding only takes but a few minutes to complete... but over months and months of planning takes place to accomplish that wonderful day. Congratulations to Annie and Douglas and thank you very much for your hospitality!
