Students outside the United States can now earn graduate degrees in communication, public administration and information technology through University partnerships in China, Poland and Russia. Finally, we offer a popular accelerated degree where Clark students can complete both a B.A. and a master’s degree in five years — with the fifth year tuition-free for qualifying students. We see significant opportunity to grow our graduate footprint in the coming years, expanding enrollment and adding graduate programs in areas where Clark has academic strength and where there is demand for graduate degrees. This means building on Clark’s strength in engaged scholarship — research work that is deeply embedded in the context of current problems and is often carried out in close collaboration with practitioners and policy makers. Such research, whether conducted within individual departments or in cross-disciplinary centers such as Dear Alumni, Families and Friends, the Mosakowski Institute for Public Enterprise, provides an ideal platform for well-respected, professionally oriented graduate programs.

The Center is nationally recognized as the focal point for fire with an extremely competent multi- disciplinary technical staff that is supported by an excellent fire library and extensive laboratory facilities. The Center was created by the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 which authorized the Secretary of Commerce, through the Center, to conduct a fire research program directly or through contracts or grants. Therefore, in addition to its in-house program, the Center maintains a fire research grants program that supplements most of the in-house programs and supports most of the academic fire research in the country.

  • The Selectivity of the Na /K
    RESEARCH ARTICLE The selectivity of the Na+/K+-pump is controlled by binding site protonation and self-correcting occlusion Huan Rui1, Pablo Artigas2, BenoıˆtRoux1* 1Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Chicago, Chicago, United States; 2Department of Cell Physiology and Molecular Biophysics, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, Lubbock, United States Abstract The Na+/K+-pump maintains the physiological K+ and Na+ electrochemical gradients across the cell membrane. It operates via an ’alternating-access’ mechanism, making iterative transitions between inward-facing (E1) and outward-facing (E2) conformations. Although the general features of the transport cycle are known, the detailed physicochemical factors governing the binding site selectivity remain mysterious. Free energy molecular dynamics simulations show that the ion binding sites switch their binding specificity in E1 and E2. This is accompanied by small structural arrangements and changes in protonation states of the coordinating residues. Additional computations on structural models of the intermediate states along the conformational transition pathway reveal that the free energy barrier toward the occlusion step is considerably increased when the wrong type of ion is loaded into the binding pocket, prohibiting the pump cycle from proceeding forward. This self-correcting mechanism strengthens the overall transport selectivity and protects the stoichiometry of the pump cycle.

  • Mcintire Department of Music Newsletter
    University of Virginia McIntire Department of Music Newsletter: 2015-16 Edition Letter from the Chair: A “Banner” Year of Music Synergies This year, for the first time in our nearly 100-year history, students and parents arriving for Family Weekend and Days on the Lawn saw "Music" proudly displayed above the steps of Old Cabell. The banners set the tone for a year in which we celebrated the incredible diversity and quality of our department. We created mash-up, synergistic programming blending various areas of our research. We promoted our scholars, composers, performers and technologists as superstars using a new website and publicity engine. We launched a brand new Performance Concentration for Majors. And we actively engaged in a dialog about the place of Music in the 21st Century University. We challenged ourselves to ask "What is Music?" through a Flash Seminar, and to think globally about the impact of our work. All of these efforts have contributed to a really fantastic year. I invite you to visit the new website and explore the vision. The website features a significant redesign with powerful new tools such as an Audio Lounge, a Music Life Blog, and a dynamic front page that evokes different roles of music in the University. The first slide (also the cover image of this newsletter) is accompanied by the caption, "Music: a place to gather”, and it shows hundreds of students gathered in front of Old Cabell Hall. We strive to make our Music Department a safe space for creative learning, free imagination, celebration of knowledge and good spirited gathering.

  • Card Check & the Secret Ballot
    Courtesy: U.S. House Education and Labor Committee Republicans Rep. John Kline (R-MN), Senior Republican Member A Year’s Worth of Reasons Not to Enact EFCA A compilation of daily alerts from the first session of the 111th Congress January 6, 2009 – December 18, 2009 Introduction The Employee Free Choice Act. Seldom has there been more incongruously named legislation. It extols “free choice” but takes away the fundamental elements of private voting and meaningful negotiating that are vital to workplace democracy. The legislation tilts the playing field in favor of a powerful political interest, and in the process, denies employee free choice far more than it creates it. For the past year, the U.S. House Education and Labor Committee Republicans have tracked EFCA and the broader issues it raises on the pages of the nation’s newspapers and in sources that range from academic journals to public polling to current events. That effort was translated to become Secret Ballot Watch, a daily email publication designed to expose the dangers of EFCA to workers and our economy. The name Secret Ballot Watch derives from the most infamous provision in EFCA, known as “card check.” Under the card check system envisioned by EFCA’s special interest supporters, workers could be forced to join a union through a public sign-up process that exposes their vote for all to see. Gone is the privacy of the ballot box; instead, workers could face public pressure, intimidation, or even coercion to sign or not sign “the card.” Although card check is the best known feature of EFCA, Secret Ballot Watch has focused on other elements of the act as well.

  • Dissertation Manufacturing Precarity
    DISSERTATION MANUFACTURING PRECARITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE GRAIN PROCESSING CORPORATION/UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS LOCAL 86D LOCKOUT IN MUSCATINE, IOWA Submitted by Jacqulyn S. Gabriel Department of Sociology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Douglas Murray Michael Carolan Peter Leigh Taylor Dimitris Stevis Copyright by Jacqulyn S. Gabriel 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT MANUFACTURING PRECARITY: A CASE STUDY OF THE GRAIN PROCESSING CORPORATION/UNITED FOOD AND COMMERCIAL WORKERS LOCAL 86D LOCKOUT IN MUSCATINE, IOWA On August 22, 2008, approximately 360 workers were locked out of their jobs at Grain Processing Corporation (GPC) in Muscatine, Iowa, after the company and the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Local 86D failed to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement at the expiration of their existing agreement. This study examines the GPC/UFCW lockout within the context of the growth of precarious employment in the United States. Using this labor dispute as a case study, it illustrates how lockouts are implicated in the generation of precarious employment and how workers and unions respond when confronted with employment precarity. This study suggests that the steady decline in union membership, density, and collective bargaining power in U.S. manufacturing over the last several decades has placed those manufacturing workers who are still covered by collective bargaining agreements at risk of their employers initiating lockouts as a means to displace and replace them and their jobs with more precarious forms of employment. Indeed, by locking out its bargaining unit employees and replacing them with workers hired through a temporary employment agency, GPC was able to effectively take around 360 relatively well-paid, permanent, unionized manufacturing jobs and turn them into precarious jobs.
