The rapid rise of social media, cloud computing, and mobility in India has started to affect how organizations do business in the country. This is driving a fundamental shift in the CIO role as it moves from classic "plan, build, run" cycle management to a business-oriented, leadership-focused position. To gauge systems integrators' (SIs') readiness to support the changing CIO role, Forrester interviewed CIOs at 30 Indian companies and has just published a report on the same. For the purposes of this report, "Indian SIs" includes SIs headquartered in India and multinational SIs doing business in the country. We conducted interviews with CIOs in the form of open discussions; our aim was to determine CIOs' opinions about their SIs, including how effectively those SIs are shifting to a more value-added, business-oriented engagement model. These interviews yielded some grim findings, as CIOs believe that SIs:

As a local and the child of a St. Lawrence retired professor and administrator I grew up, in a way, on campus. My experience thus far as an undergraduate at St. Lawrence has been nothing but rewarding and beneficial and reinforced my love of the campus from my childhood. I had the chance to study abroad in Vienna, Austria through the St. Lawrence program in the spring of 2010 and took courses about a mixture of topics including the Habsburg Empire and the European Union. While on the program we also had the opportunity to visit many important historical cities including Prague and Krakow.
At St. Lawrence I have been extremely lucky to be able to focus my love of history through both a major and also through my European Studies minor. Though I always loved learning about European historical topics, the courses at St. Lawrence have reinforced my interest and helped guide me in a specific direction of study. Many of the classes that students complete while abroad are also applicable to the European Studies minor and are greatly rewarding themselves in introducing students to a variety of new cultures and people. I hope to focus in my Senior Year Experience on a topic relating to my study abroad in Vienna, incorporating my wonderful abroad experience with my European Studies interest.

text: Vaytsekhovskaya's interview with Spilband `I worked more this summer than ever before' for sport-express.ru Not long before the competition in Oberstdorf Spilband had his first victory - in the court against his previous employer the management of the rink in Canton. When we met in Germany he was said first: IS: I don't want to discuss it. The trial was not pleasant, and it was something I had to go through. It was important for me. There were 2 issues, one was personally against Marina Zueva and in both cases I won. Now I'd like to put it all behind. EV: I saw how deeply involved you were when you worked with the best two teams in the world together with Marina. Is your work now less demanding? IS: Tessa and Scott were not always the best. Just like Meryl and Charlie. I worked with them since they were juniors, so I can't really tell after stopping coaching them I work differently. Besides, I have some leading pairs in my team as well - for example the French Pechalat/Bourzat, who joined this season. There are also skaters who I predict a great future, just as I did once in Virtue/Moir and Davis/White. Also both those pairs have their disadvantages. Just like anyone else. EV: Let me rephrase. For many years you were leading a group with 2 best teams, while the other coaches were trying to run after you. Now you are one of the running after. I think you are the best person to ask whether it's possible to beat your previous pupils. Do you see a way? IS: Of course I know the way, but you don't really expect me to reveal it here, do you? EV: Can you at least name a pair who you think can compete with the Canadians and the Americans in Sochi? IS: I was always against such predictions. Yes, there is a gap in technique, interpretation, execution between those two teams and the others. But take Nathalie and Fabian - their blade technique is great. Quite equal. In that aspect they can compete with anyone. EV: Were your surprised when Pechalat/Bourzat asked to join your group? IS: Yes. I didn't see that coming. Usually the ice dancers don't switch coaches in their last season. EV: Did you agree immediately? IS: No. I was approached by the head of the French skating federation Didier Gailhaguet, we met in Detroit and I was going to decline. I was fully booked as it was for the summer and I couldn't figure where to find time for another pair. But in the end I agreed to try. When I started working with them I was swept by Nathanie and Fabian's will to work hard. I never regretted taking them. Besides, having such a team in the group is a wonderful example for those who skate alongside. EV: Do you ever ask the skaters who want to join your group why did they leave the previous coaches? IS: I know Nathalie and Fabian's relationship with Angelica and Pasquale remained good. EV: I.e. the decision to switch coaches was not theirs, but the French federations'? IS: Yes. At least that's the official version. EV: Who choreographed their Olympic programmes? IS: They came with the ready programmes. We had to make some changes though. EV: Is it easier to choreograph yourself than work with made programmes? IS: I love creating the programmes. It happened before that the skaters had programmes and I offered them something different and they agreed. It happened this season with the Azerbaijan couple Zlobina/Sitnikov. Sometimes the programmes are changed because they do not meet the ISU demands. There are rules for music, rhythm, elements etc. EV: Are there choreographers who you trust? IS: I love what Paola Mezzardi who works with the Italians Cappellini/Lanotte. I think she is an amazingly talented choreographer. EV: I know the `Swan Lake' that Ilinyh/Katsalapov are skating was also your idea. IS: Now quite. When Morozov and his skaters started working on the choreography the `Swan Lake' was one of the options Morozov had in mind. When I came to his rink for 4 days I supported the idea. I was thinking in the same direction and meant to advice Ilinyh/Katsalapov to take that very piece. EV: You consulted Morozov, worked a bit with Riazanova/Tkachenko, with your own pairs.. It seems anyone can ask for your help and you will not decline. IS: No. I'm limited with the ice time. And with my own energy. I can't work for 24 hours a day. EV: Hence you work just 18? IS: Of course not. Though this summer I worked more than ever before. I would spend 12 hours a day on the ice only. EV: What inspires you? IS: The nature. I love the place where I live. The summer is rather short but very warm. I take the weekends off to spend it in Michigan lake with friends. Besides, when you work with the pair you like and see how your ideas come true it doesn't require an energy, it gives you the energy. EV: Did you ever have to kick an athlete from a practice? IS: Not that I recall in the last 10 years. There was always a great discipline on the ice rink. EV: When you work with your skaters do you prefer to work with each team alone, or there is a sparring like in Russia? IS: My work on the ice is individual. It allows me to dwell in the pair I work with currently. But there are more things than just the work on the ice. During the offseason when we work on the technique I work with several pairs at once. this summer, for example, there would be 10-12 people on the ice at the same time. This is how I always worked. Since I never coached in Russia I can't really compare which method is right. EV: What is the most expensive thing in the top class athletes preparations? IS: A bad programme. It causes a lot of troubles and is the most costly thing. It's always a hard decision to change the programme if it was not successful. It should be done as early as possible. EV: Were you uncomfortable with Riazanova/Tkachenko and their coach Alexey Gorshkov coming to Detroit to you for their summer preparations ? IS: Why would I be? They are no foreigners for me, and Alexey is a wonderful coach, who helped a lot with my other skaters. I think we worked really well together. EV: Are there countries where work is hard because of the coach-federation relationship? IS: I never had to explain my work. Every federation has it's goals and interests, but I never was in a situation where I had to navigate or bend. Quite the opposite - I always received help and support. EV: Were you offered a job in Russia? IS: Nothing particular, but when Marina and I parted ways and I had to stop working in Canton I received a phone call from one of the Russian Federation leaders and was told I can always count on their support should I need a job. It was nice. Would I be able to leave? I don't know. I have been coaching in Michigan for a long time now, I have a great team which I would have to build anew in any other place. It's not only the coaches, acrobats etc, but also the dancers who help with different things -flamenco, tango... EV: How do you start working on a new programme? From the music, idea, technical moments or key points? IS: It differs. Sometimes it just happens within a couple of practices, sometimes I have to redo and rethink things till the programme `shines'. You can't really come up with a method that would work for everyone. Guess that is what makes the choreography work creative.

The tank upgrade isn't that important just get a hopper and a tank used a rotor and a 68/45 with 3-4 years hydro will run you around a new rotor price

Information technology and the competencies associated with its use are essential to nursing practice, according to University of St. Thomas School of Nursing Dean, Dr. Poldi Tschirch.
"We must prepare our students with the skills they will need to seek out and apply information in clinical practice and engage in continual learning to keep pace with the rapid growth of knowledge in healthcare," Tschirch said.
The School of Nursing has a goal to make a majority of courses blended courses—face-to-face with online content—or online-only courses. To assist with meeting this goal, the School of Nursing Title V grant provided funding to support the adaptation of courses into blended and online formats.
The School of Nursing hired Mary Donna Piazza as the new instructional designer under the Title V grant, to help design blended and online courses. She helps faculty members design curricula for distance education or online learning so that students learn more using technology. "Part of my responsibility is helping faculty make the paradigm shift from face-to-face to online," Piazza said. "I find ways to help them implement interactivity, and improve the communication and collaboration in an online course."
As nursing students participate in clinical rotations during their junior and senior years, they still need to continue their nursing curriculum and learn new content. Students who are off-campus for extended periods during clinical rotations can benefit from an online component that allows faculty to stay in communication with students and help them to measure and apply the skills they're learning.
Piazza brings curriculum knowledge, creativity
Tschirch said Piazza brings cutting edge knowledge to her work with faculty, as well as great creativity.
"She is extremely effective in helping faculty translate their content knowledge into engaging and effective online learning experiences for students," Tschirch said.
Piazza has 28 years of experience in curriculum design, most recently at the Academic Technology Center for University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, where she worked for 16 years. The center served the whole campus. She consulted on how to design, develop and implement new distance educational programs and courses. She provided training and consultation on how to use various Web 2.0 collaboration and communication tools. She also worked for the School of Allied Health Sciences and School of Nursing at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston as an instructional designer and graphics specialist, teaching how to effectively use multimedia in the curriculum.
Curriculum can come alive online
Piazza is a medical illustrator and animator specializing in designing multimedia pieces that can help contribute to student learning in a blended or online class.
"My work has included designing digital case studies," she said. "By using a technique called digital storytelling, we can make the cases come alive using animation, photo, audio or video."
Piazza hopes she'll have the opportunity to do that at UST as well, though her first projects are to work with IT to evaluate new software and new processes to support the faculty and delivery of the curriculum.
In addition to helping develop the curriculum, Piazza is able to evaluate the online courses for problems, like a high drop-out rate or low test scores, which usually stem from communication or collaboration issues.
"I look for ways to improve the courses by using the technology to enhance and support the learning experience," she said.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Oct 9, 2009.
The upcoming Saturday-Sunday first half of the day would be preferable.
I lined players - just in case - but after 25th I got bored.... All what I hope that I do not have to clean a desk in the first week as happened in fantasy hockey.
Ahight... I have a "novice league" question. I've pre-selected the draft order for my roster. Do I need to do anything else to auto-draft? Is there a button that I need to turn on or something or will it automatically select my pre-selected players. I'm gonna be out of town (camping/mountain biking) the next two weekends and won't be able to make the live draft.
If you're going to play, we need one more player fast. I'm concerned by how little you post. You're not a very active PFer. For example, you're late to this league. I need to know you are committed before I run out to find another player. Need more info. This weekend as opposed to next? What times exactly? We're talking about 12:15 PM EST (9:15 AM your time, weekend next). Is this an issue? If you're not in the draft, the computer drafts from your list. So just make sure your list is good to go. If you leave during the draft, the computer takes over. If you join during the draft, you take over. Remember to draft bigs and PGs early. They are harder to find than forwards and shooting guards.
Dont listen to Roscoe, it's a nasty nasty ploy. SG's are a dime a dozen.
That's what I said.
I'm building a team focused on the AOTG category - irregardless of position. GO SQUIRRELS!
Go SQUIRRELS!!!!
For greenhorns here: AOTG is Assist Of the Glass In fantasy basketball it is very valuable category - get one and matchup is yours.
Ok I've read through these posts about the draft time and all I have to say Roscoe is that I can meet any day any time that you decide. Sorry I didn't communicate sooner. I went out of town to see Bob Dylan with my mom. Wow, was that ever cool! I have no limitations at all on my schedule because sad or happy to say there is nothing in this great big world that is more important to me than my Pistonsforum.com Fantasy Basketball Novice draft. So if it ends up the 25th cool, or any of those other days or times cool. Just pick the time and tell me. The only time I can't go is on the 31st because I'm going to see the Michael Jackson movie and that actually is more important to me. LOL. So just lemme know and I will be there with all my picks ready to roll. Cool? Cool!!!! I'm so psyched. I keep rearranged my guys and agonizing over what order I should try to take them in, of course knowing full well that it never ever turns out in the ideal way that I hope that it will. But then again that's what free agency is for, right? I certainly hope we are going to unlimited drop and adds in this league.
Who is "State and Main" ? Last year I dropped and added like one very desperate first time fantasy player in noob league and if it pissed commmish R36 off, he atleast did not express it via internet.
I only joined the forum at the end of last season, yes I've been quiet over the summer but I'm definitely going to be a committed player, would love for you to give me a chance Roscoe! If you look through my posts you'll see I was looking to play last season!
Ok, Rocastle. I'll see if I can find another.
Thanks... I wont let you down, although I cant promise I wont finish last!! Where do I need to register etc? Is it Yahoo?
You can't register until I find someone to play with you. We can't have a league with an uneven number of teams.
OK, no worries. I'll keep checking back.
I'll play
Sounds good Tads. PM headed to you and Rocastle. Please announce your team name in this thread once you have registered. Right now, we're looking at Sunday Oct 25th, 12:15 PM (GMT-5) EST as the live draft. Not everyone will be able to make it (I have never been in a league with 10 teams where everyone made it) but if you can or can't make it then, I would like to know. So please also post that to this thread. Cheers.
that is me. last year I was the "chitownwranglers". I didn't like that name then, and I don't like it now. State and Main is one of my favorite movies. I'm really bad at naming things...
Let's DO this! My team name is the Fibonacci's and I should be able to be there on sunday.

I doubt anyone makes a gun-specific "tactical" holster for a plinker. And if I recall correctly, you have a dot sight on your P22, which pretty much eliminates all the thigh holsters I'm aware of. If you take the dot sight off, you might find one of the Uncle Mike's (or other nylon generic fit) "tactical" holsters that will work with it.
Having used a Blackhawk thigh holster here in Afghanistan for a time, I have a pretty low opinion of them for anything but very brief periods of wear. They are okay if you're wearing bulky, hard body armor and can't use anything else, and you're not walking a lot. Using one while stalking small game all day will very likely be no better than a decent belt holster, while being simultaneously less comfortable and more expensive - and definitely sillier looking.

A monk at the local Wat i attend gave me a cd recording containing 14 talks on the Anapanasati sutta by Ajahn Pasanno which i highly recommend listening to.
Venerable Ajahn Pasanno - Biography
Ajahn Pasanno (Reed Perry) was born in La Pas, Manitoba in Canada. He studied History at the University of Winnipeg. After graduating he spent some time traveling in India, and from there went to Thailand.
In 1974 Ajahn Pasanno became a bhikkhu at Wat Pleng Vipassana with Phra Khru Nanasirivatana as preceptor. He developed a genuine interest in monastic life, and during his first year as a monk was taken by his teacher to meet Ajahn Chah, with whom he asked to be allowed to stay and train.
One of the early residents of Wat Pah Nanachat, Venerable Pasanno became its abbot in his seventh year. During his incumbency Wat Pah Nanachat he became a very well known and highly respected Dhamma teacher in Thailand.
In 1997 he moved to where he is currently resident in California, joining Ajahn Amaro in establishing Abhayagiri Monastery
Here are the links to those talks and more.

By the following: S2000, Civic HB, and a 350z in the last couple of days. These were pretty random.
My mods: 06 wrx, Opensouce stg2, STi TMIC, Blitz intake, I also have huge tires that make my car run like crap.
First was the 350z. Went from a 40 or so roll. Lost by about 2 cars. I dont know his mods but he did have exhaust. I have beat a few 350z before but tonight I had alot of weight in the car. (Big passenger). And those huge tires.
Second was the civic hatch. Went from a 50 or so roll and got smoked by about 5 cars. This hatch sounded like a fighter jet with its huge turbo. I think this car would beat a stage 2 STi. This thing was FAST.
Last is a S2000. Went from a 35 or so roll. I took him by about 2 or 3 cars. We stop at a stop light and im turning around because he wants to go again. As im sitting in front of him at the light his friend gets out and goes to the trunk. Hmm im wondering what hes doing(NOS). We line up again at about 40 and he beats me by about 2 or 3 cars. His mods were exhaust, and whatever you need to run nos.
Overall im upset with the car. New tires are coming and so is a new turbo. I havnt decided on what turbo yet but its either a 18g, 20g, or a vf39.

New model cars are introduced every three or four years, but heavy truck introductions may come once a decade. That's one reason why the new Freightliner 114SD Severe Duty Mixer, introduced at this year's World of Concrete, is noteworthy.
Freightliner didn't develop it alone. It partnered with people who know a lot about mixers: McNeilus Cos. The Freightliner 114SD SFA chassis was designed around the McNeilus 1.5-cubic-yard Bridgemaster Transit Mixer to meet federal bridge formula requirements.
The combination allows for a 36-foot bridge with a 66,000-pound gross vehicle weight. That means 9.5- to 9.7-cubic-yard loads.
With a 114-inch BBC (bumper to back of cab) and a newly designed sloped hood, the 114SD provides outstanding vision all around, a major safety feature on jobsites, in the yard, and in traffic. It's also very maneuverable when specified with a 45-degree wheel cut.
Standard air rear cab mounts add to driver comfort. Inside the ergonomically designed driver's area are close-to-hand controls, an automotive-style dashboard, easy-to-read LED backlit gauges, and a comfortable seat.
Steer axles start at 12,000-pound capacity and are available to 22,000 pounds. Both single and tandem drive axles are available. Single axles range from 21,000 to 38,000 pound rating. Tandems start with the 40,000- pound standard drive axle and are available in ratings to 58,000 pounds. An optional tridem drive axle set has a 69,000-pound rating.
Other options include pusher and tag axles rated from 8000- to 22,000- pound capacity. Freightliner Air Liner and TufTrac rear suspensions are optional, as are Hendrickson and Chalmers suspensions.
The standard Powertrain is the Detroit Diesel DD13 with up to 350-hp and 1350 lb-ft of torque, pulling through an Eaton Fuller 10-speed manual gearbox. The DD13 is available with up to 450-hp and 1650 lb-ft of torque. A range of Allison and Eaton transmissions are available, including the automated UltraShift Plus vocational series.
Later this year, two Cummins engines will be added to the options list. The ISC will offer up to 350-hp and 1000 lb-ft of torque, while the larger ISL can provide up to 380-hp and 1300 lb-ft.
Partnering with McNeilus helped Freightliner simplify the upfitting of the mixer body. The new truck has a clean back-of-cab, with all emissions control devices, the 70-gallon fuel tank and a six-gallon DEF tank packaged under the cab.
Freightliner uses Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) to control NOx and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) for soot and ash. Detroit Diesel claims its BlueTec SCR system virtually eliminates the need for DPF regeneration when parked. That saves fuel and, with a perishable product like concrete, time.
For those who prefer front-discharge ready-mix trucks, Terex Roadbuilding introduced its new EPA 2010-complic-it mixers at the show. The line consists of three-, four-, five-, six- and seven-axle models in both standard and bridge formula designs.
The current engine is a Cummins ISX 11.9 (liter) diesel, in ratings of 350-, 380- and 450-hp. Later this year, Terex will offer Detroit Diesel DD13 engines ranging from 350- to 450-hp. Both engine makers use SCR technology and DPFs to meet EPA 2010 requirements. The five-gallon diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank must be refilled after 165 to 250 gallons of fuel are consumed, depending on workload. Gauges alert drivers.
All exhaust after-treatment components—the SCR, DPF and catalytic converters—are secured to the frame rather than the engine. New mountings for the engine and transmission allow each to be removed independently, simplifying service to either.
The new Terex has an electronic control module that senses if the truck is loaded. It drives the new load-based shifting schedule, a Terex exclusive. By varying transmission shift points according to load, fuel economy is improved.
Paul Abelson is a former director of the Technology and Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Association and is on the Board of Truckwriters of North America.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Federal Mogul produces main bearing sets that look like yours. As stated, they are made to fit several different applications. We call them "rebuilders bearings" as they are bought in quantity by commercial builders.. Nothing wrong, just a bit different design.
|Really? I was just worried I got the wrong part. But the bearings that fit in the caps fit perfect. I just wondered what the deal was.
|The slotted bearing will be fine, just a different oiling hole design to make them universal to some other engines with the same size bearings. They will be fine.
Are these the correct bearings?? (main bearings)
Alright, everything was going great once again on putting my engine together until I got to the point of starting reassembly. The engine is a 1967 250 Straight-Six. When I went to start putting the main bearings in, I noticed the big oil hole didn't line up on the #1 main bearing, however the cap's bearing fit in fine. These are for a .010" undersize crank, I checked the back of the bearings read .010"
The bearings I ordered were Sealed Power Part#4124MA10 got them from Rockauto. All other sites that sell the product all list the same picture (that matches the ones I recieved.)
This picture is the following I provided the stock picture, and one from above I saw on eBay that are my exact bearings I recieved listed under the same part#
Picture of what mine look like, every other website has the pictured ones below.
However, summit racing has a different picture, and these look like the original bearings I pulled from the engine in the first place.
The bearings I recieved are in the first picture, and all sites who sell oversize bearings for the 250 L6 have those in the first picture pictured. (Which is what I recieved). However the bearings summit have listed are the same ones with the same part # etc, they have a different picture which looks exactly like the main bearings I pulled out of the block when I started the rebuild. The oil passage when the bearing is fitted into the block is not covered up beacause there is a strip in the bearing that would allow oil to flow through, I don't see why however they just didn't manufacture the oil hole where it should be, or do I have the wrong bearing?? Please someone help me lol
I'm not really sure how they could've sent me something wrong, it's for a seven bolt main (which the L6's are) and the oil passage on the thrust bearing matches up(but it does have two holes) I just don't know what to think.

Graduate Research Grant FAQ
The Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender and Women's Studies offers grants to support research in gender and women's studies by undergraduate and graduate students, and by faculty Associates of the Institute. The Grants Committee's policy traditionally has been to award money to as many eligible applicants as possible. In writing an application keep in mind that people from a variety of disciplines are on the committee, and your case that your concerns are centrally related to gender and women's studies must be comprehensible to people far outside your field. Research on female subjects does not automatically qualify. Grant recipients are encouraged to present their material in SBAI seminars and conferences. We ask that you acknowledge the support in publications.
My research is not about gender or women's issues, strictly defined; should I apply for a grant?
Your research in general does not have to be about gender, women's issues, lesbian studies, queer theory, or feminist theory, strictly defined, as long as the part of it for which you are applying for support can shed light on something in these areas. You need to explain how this work is relevant to the SBAI's areas of interest in your letter of application.
I can't reach my advisor. Will you consider a graduate application without a letter?
My advisor wrote a letter for me last time I applied. Can you refer to that?
We will not consider undergraduate or graduate student applications without a letter from a faculty member who knows your work. We also need letters that address the project for which you are applying. If the letter will still be relevant, check with the Program Manager to make sure it is on file.
I want to apply for travel to a conference or for research that I will be doing during the summer. Is the spring deadline the right time to do this?
Yes. The sooner you can apply, the better. Please consider applying for any grant pertaining to summer work/dates as soon as February of that same year. April is the latest deadline to apply. If your travel or project will not be completed in time to submit receipts by June 15, please get us the receipts as soon as possible once it is complete.
May I apply for retroactive funding for a paper I have given or research I have already completed?
Yes. We routinely fund summer work this way. We fund some other requests retroactively; however the committee makes decisions based on the number of applications, so it's best to apply at the soonest appropriate deadline.
Are purchases of books and other materials, or purchases or rental of video tapes/DVDs for my research eligible?
If you're talking about kinds of materials that you could get from the library or on interlibrary loan, the answer is no. If you need things that are difficult to obtain, the answer may very well be yes. We decide requests on a case by case basis. In the past we have funded photocopying and purchases of microfilms of documents. We have also given money for the purchase of video materials. (We are reluctant to pay for rentals that may involve copying in violation of copyright laws.) If the materials seem to be of interest to other scholars, we may specify that they end up in the SBAI library.
Are research subject compensation expenses eligible?
No. We are not able to provide you with funds to compensate research subjects.
Can you provide funds for living expenses or stipends for research assistants?
No, we cannot give funds for any types of salaries, stipends, hiring costs, or living expenses that may be associated with or enable you to carry out your research.
When do I have to apply for human subjects permission to conduct my project?
As a condition of receiving federal funds for some research projects, the University of Rochester agrees to review all research conducted by faculty, staff and students for compliance with federal protections for human subjects. You must seek review for any project that is:
- Research (that is, intended to produce generalizable knowledge) AND involves
- Human subjects (that is, living individuals)
- who interact with the researcher to provide data OR
- whose thoughts, actions or environment are manipulated for research purposes OR
- whose private information (e.g. medical or school records) or private behavior is collected in a way that allows identification of the individual.
An example of a project that isn't considered research, even though it collects data from human subjects, is student course evaluation. The information is only used to improve the course and evaluate the instructor's performance, not contribute to generalizable knowledge. An example of a research project that doesn't involve human subjects would be a thematic analysis of publications or motion pictures released commercially, even if the authors and actors are still alive. The information is public, and data collection doesn't involve any interaction with the individuals who produced it.
Opinion is still forming about how much of the Internet is "public information", and whether data collected from chat room postings or on-line support groups should be considered private and subject to human subjects oversight.
Within the broad definition of human subjects research, some activities require on-going review, and some are exempt from further review. Activities are more likely to be exempt if they are conducted for specific program evaluation, rather than research; if data are collected anonymously; or if the research does not involve "sensitive" behavior or questions. Activities are less likely to be exempt if they involve vulnerable populations, like prisoners, children and pregnant women; or if any of the activities of the research could potentially cause physical or emotional harm to any subject. You can find a full explanation of exempt research on the University of Rochester website.
Even if your project is potentially exempt from further human subjects review, you must:
- Seek confirmation of that status before you begin the project from the Research Subjects Review Board. There is an application and instructions available through the University of Rochester website)
- Complete the Ethical Principles in Research Program to demonstrate your understanding of your responsibilities for conducting research with human subjects This involves reading the Belmont Report, a short document of ethical principles, and completing a post-test on your reading.
If you are unsure whether your project requires human subjects review, it's always wise to call or e-mail a human subjects protection specialist to find out. The phone number for the RSRB is 275-2398.

Memories of Brundall
Peggy from the USA, who sent a memory of Brundall, is my cousin. Arthur Henry Brigham was my grandfather, and he was the Signalman at Brundall railway station. I knew Sydney (her father) very well, and also spent many happy days at Brooms boatyard. Get in touch Peggy - it's your long lost cousin calling!!!
Happy Days
It must have been in the early 50s that I would go to Brundall with peter tooke and his parents to prune roses I doubt it I was any help as I was about 8yrs old. The tookes lived on Plumstead Rd Norwich.Is peter still around and where. Gerald Wase Hunstanton
Happy Memories In Brundall

this was an awsome find at target I could not get it home fast enough to start painting
this was an awsome find at target I could not get it home fast enough to start painting
I can just see the kids' reactions when they ask you to shoot, and something actually comes out of the gun!
I cant wait
That is sooo kandosii. i so wanna see it painted then I wanna go buy one or maybe the other way around.
nope that is my own paint job I think Nerf is all about bright happy colors LOL
Very, very cool find!!! An outstanding Sci-Fi weapon if you ask me!!
its funny I saw it and thought it was very cool they had 6 I went back about 15 min later and they had one left I grabed it and then a kid came around with his (I guess grand parent) and saw that there were no more left I almost felt a little bad ALMOST
Then that is a smooth paint job. I thought it was the platic au natural. Kandosii
Is this for that Imperial vs. Rebel nerf rumble that is supposed to go down at Dragon Con?
I wish I could go to Dragon con but alass I am stuck here in San Diego
Hmmmm.... how come I can not find that gun anywhere on the net?
Do you remember what the name is, besides Nerf ?
It looks like an M60 bred with an M82..
That would make a kick butt Mondo gun or even a RC trooper rifle!!
Can someone got to Target to buy me one of those? We don't have Targets up here in Canada I can PP the funds! That gun makes a kick ***** Mando custom gun!
I think I found em!
See if that's what it is...
Looks like it, just in different colors. Nice find!8)
that would be it I think it came out at the very begining of the month so it was a good find I even found a website that tells how to mod it to make it shoot farther.
Checked the local Target and Walmart... they didn't have any...
Holy Shiznit!!
That's one Nerf I ain't seen yet!
Oooooohhhh, must...have...must....that nerf... have...
Who in the US carries it? I could add some stuff here and there and... 8)
I modded this Firefly blaster for a contest last year...
But that one is just supremely too cool...

that is a kick ass firefly I must say though
If anyone else is wanting one of these, I found them on the wal-mart web page. I lucked out today and got the last one at Target today.
is it not a kick ***** weapon?

Paris, for most humans, is the city of eternal love and peace whose flame of liberty shines throughout the world. However, over the past few days the city of love was rather loveless when it came to progress of the Olympic torch through its streets. Lovers may have been holding hands, but protestors were holding signs condemning China for its brutal repression of the Tibetan people and its arrest of dissidents who dared to utter words of freedom. The Olympic relay in Paris matched what happened the day before in London where angry groups continually halted progress of the torch amidst confusion and anger. Once the torch reached France the situation became even more chaotic when groups twice forced the flame to be extinguished.
Chinese spokespeople insisted all was wonderul in the city of love, but the media presented a rather different version of reality than what is being shown in China. Millions of people throughout the world are furious at actions of the Chinese government to make what should be a moment of peace and tranquility into days of anger and frustration. At one point over the weekend, Rama Yade, speaking for President Sarkozy hinted he might boycott opening day ceremonies of the Olympics and then she back tracked and said no such plan was in effect.
It is time for China to behave as the great nation it has become and allow those who dissident to speak honestly without fear of punishment. It is time to sit down with the Dalai Lama and discuss a peaceful future for Tibet. In taking such actions, China will have a flame of peace which never will be extinguished.

Good morning, day, evening (depending on your time of day). Esteemed professors!
Firstly my weather report, for Weston super Mare, uk.
It is currently 3 centigrade (feels like 2C), dew point 4C, humidity 78%, there has been 1mm of rain/sleet, with a 50% chance of further precipitation, and the wind is 16 km/h from the WNW. It is currently dark so no visibility, but this is estimated as 2 miles, as it is cloudy with light rain.
The predicted high for the day (2PM) 9C, with humidity of 68%, and dew point of 4C, with predicted wind of 21km/h, a 40% chance of precipitation (rain or sleet), to is expected to be partly sunny, with good visibility >10 miles predicted.
I hope the weather report meets your increasingly exacting requirements :)
My question is actually fairly simple; Giardia lamblia and a number of other eukaryotes lack mitochondria. Most of them appear to be anaerobic, and I can see the point that the mitochondria and electron transport mechanism might well be selected against.
However, no where can I find if it is clear that mitochondria where selected against, and lost. Or if these bugs are a branch, that where started before eukaryotes adopted mitochondria.
I'm not scientist, but simply an interested party. I actually work as an engineer, on sewage treatment plants. So I do get to see a lot of bacteria, since they do all the work, treating the sewage. Given plenty of oxygen, and the correct nutrients, they do a fine job of this, and then happily settle out, leaving clean enough water that it can be returned to the environment (or with minimal treatment, and filtration, to the drinking water supply, as is becoming more popular).
However it is my personal theory, that apoptosis in eukariotic cells derives from the incorporation of a once parasitic bacterium. Such a parasite requiring a method to kill the host cell, in order to proliferate into the medium, to infect other cells. I hypothesise that this was co-opted by eukaryotes, in order to allow for apoptosis (or programmed cell death).
Knowing if apoptosis odours in eukaryotes, that lack mitochondria, and if they are a pre mitochondria branch, would answer my question. However I have been unable to find the required information.
I wonder if you can point me in the right direction, and also thought the subject might lead to an interesting conversation on the podcast.
Many thanks for your ongoing series of podcasts.
I have emailed this to both TWIP, and TWIM. I suspect it is better suited to TWIM, but my research has been on parasites, since these seem better studied, so have included TWIP.
Thanks in advance for any insights you may be able to provide, or simply interesting conversation.

Hiya! Entering mid-dialogue, so sorry for out-of-touch points hereafter. Trivial anyhow.
As to fuel powered machines and discovery of oil deposits (identified as refineable fuel, since deposits were mined for minor purposes in antiquity), um, as I recall, Henry Ford intended his internal combustion engines to run on ethanol at the outset. I have no idea how far earlier the engine-makers planned ethanol, but.... Anyway, Rockefeller et al came along shortly to amend all that. Besides, obviously y'all were perfectly accurate about all that machinery thing and slavery.
More to the point of parasitology, another trivial emendation may be that the first hookworms didn't necessarily enter N. America on African feet after 1600. West Africans had been transported to Caribbean islands for labor by mid 1500s. They may have inoculated soil there with hookworms, which may have been picked up by sojourning barefoot non-Africans, and transported to N. America first by those people after 1600. Maybe. (If I haven't misremembered the true mid-century. Got it from "Diary of an Irish Slave Girl," a novel about a kidnapped child who was taken to a British sugar plantation and ended up marrying an Ashanti man. Therefore my historiography may be off. But I do think those island plantations were started up in the 1550s or so -- and, from other sources, European population growth began to explode, apparently correlated with sudden availability of enough extra calories to delay starvation, preserving more children, etc.)
So anyway. Hope It's not wasted your time. Entertained me, but not enough to edit it down.

Dear Professors,
I have listened to you discuss parasitic diseases in mice, fish, mosquitoes, ladybugs, cats, and even humans, and feel you have paid relatively little attention to squirrels. A recent paper in BMC Veterinary Research could help cure that deficiency.
British veterinarians studied 163 dead red squirrels. The squirrels were mostly found near houses and roads, and half of them were killed by cars or pets.
The dead squirrels were examined to determine cause of death and inventory parasites and other disease causing agents.
I spotted at least four eukaryotic parasites -- three Apicomplexa and a nematode -- only one of which I recall hearing about on TWiP.
Toxoplasmosis was blamed for one sixth of squirrel deaths on the Isle of Wight. It was considered a direct cause of death rather than a contributing factor like when it prevents mice from avoiding cats.
Hepatozoon infections were common in lungs and heart muscles, and Eimeria in gut contents, but neither seemed to be a primary cause of poor health.
The last parasite is so obscure it does not even have a Wikipedia page. It is related to pinworm, which you have discussed. Quoting the paper:
"Nematodes were sometimes observed during gross and histological examination of intestine. Morphologically they resembled pin worms (Enterobius sp.) but, apart from one case where they were identified as Rodentoxyuris sciuri, none were submitted for species identification. Typically there was no apparent associated pathology but one juvenile with a heavy nematode infection died due to an intestinal intussusception. However, in a second case of intussusception involving an adult there was no significant worm burden and the aetiology was obscure."
The squirrels also had viruses and bacteria, in case you want to have a squirrel week across all three "this week in" podcasts, end ectoparasites and fungus if you want to expand to five podcasts.
Suzanne writes:
I couldn't remember being tested for Toxoplasmosis with any of my pregnancies while listening to your most recent podcast so I looked it up. According to MayoClinic.com most women aren't tested automatically these days. I didn't find any specific recommendations anywhere, though, so maybe it's something that depends on the doctor.
I do remember tests for AIDS and Hepatitis. Especially since with the most recent one the lab gave me someone else's positive Hepatitis result and missed my anemia :p
These days they just tell every pregnant woman to avoid under cooked meats and litter boxes.
PS It's cold down here in central Texas! I can translate easily from Fahrenheit to Celsius because it's been hovering just above 32F/0C for the last few days. We may even get what passes for snow around here... a few flakes mixed with the rain. I expect by next week it'll be shorts weather again, though.
Maybe that would make more sense as While listening to your most recent podcast, I couldn't remember being tested for Toxoplasmosis during any of my pregnancies...
Sam writes:
Hello TWIP! I write to you again from Tucson, where we are having quite a warm December. Today was a beautiful day, 75F, with sunshine and scattered clouds.
I was listening to Dickson explain the difference between Plasmodium vivax and P. falciparum on a historical TWIP whose number I don't recall, when later that day what should I read but the links below, reporting P. vivax infections in Duffy negative humans. The articles report that duplication of the Duffy binding genes seems to enable infection even without the Duffy receptor (per http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2013-11/cwru-vmm111413.php another report is expected 12/5, in just a few days).
It seems odd to me that duplicating this gene would have this effect - after all, wouldn't this be like having multiple keys to a door with no lock? It must be using a receptor of some kind, right? If it's not using Duffy, then it must be using another one - is Duffy part of a family of related receptors, or has the gene duplication produced a match for some other receptor altogether? I also wonder how this mutated parasite will fare in ordinary Duffy positive humans. I'd love it if you all could revisit this topic on the show.
On an unrelated note, I must say that the presentation of this open access paper (link below) is really great. No truncated article, clear navigation and organization, and it even includes a twitter interface. Three cheers for PLOS!
Thanks again, Victor and Dickson, for the podcast - Sam

Hey guys, I wanted to share the first few step of my progress with this project. I'm upgrading my current flak vest to one custom tailored to me.
I started out by drafting a body block following this tutorial online: http://www.silivren.com/mbodyblock.pdf
I found it very helpful and easy to understand. Then, the pattern was shortened to the size of the vest and re-drawn after an initial mock-up to resize the neck and arm-holes appropriately.
This is the mock-up of that second draft. I'm happy with most of it. I feel the armhole was overcorrected and is now a bit too big in front, so I'll add a bit to that area to the final. I also plan on adding a total of two inches of garment ease to the side seams to allow for movement. This mock-up is very well fitted but did not account for range of motion. I've also decided to keep the dart in the back, as they help bring the midsection of the vest in and will be hidden by the backplate.
Plenty of room to mount armor.

Last year, I did something that many longtime New Yorkers fear and fantasize about simultaneously: I moved out of the city for a while, mainly because I was curious to see whether my life would still work outside Manhattan. As a writer, my days are held together by an equal mix of habit and superstition. Where would I be without the R train, Leo the butcher, and the lingerie wing of Century 21, the greatest discount department store?What would happen if I could not read the morning papers from my newsstand over "the usual" at the corner coffee shop?
Over the last three years, I wrote two books, and the bulk of that work was done in Philadelphia. I would plan to visit friends there for two days and often ended up staying for five. Although I am not the sort who requires Walden-like tranquillity in order to work, I did notice that people in Philadelphia had big, quiet apartments. There was more shade on the streets in the summer, less garbage year-round. After a day of writing, I was able to go out and have a great dinner in a place where I would be seated without having to wait 45 minutes and—better yet—one that I could actually afford. Most important, I was able to achieve what often escapes people: balance, that fine line between work and rest, between busy and bored.
I made my final pre-move trip to Philadelphia on a mild night in early November to meet my friend Mitch. We walked to dinner along the bricked side streets of Society Hill—swirling leaves, people wandering home, the steady glow from electric candles set in the middle of town-house windows. I could have ordered it from Central Casting: one gorgeous town, coming up.
Philadelphia was this country's first planned city, designed by William Penn as a grid of streets positioned at the narrowest stretch between the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers (pronounced "skoo-kill") and anchored by five parklike squares. At first glance, Penn's "greene countrie towne"—surrounded by Pennsylvania Dutchfarmland and a string of bucolic bedroom communities haughtily referred to as the Main Line—can seem rather agrarian at heart. But the adjacent countryside and suburbs contribute little more than fine produce and a constant stream of SUV's to Philadelphia's cultural composition; the city's true character can be found in its buildings. Philadelphia is a glorious—and often tragic—example of an industrial American city in postindustrial times. You can see it in the contour and sweep of the architecture (Neoclassical, Romanesque, Beaux-Arts, Victorian Gothic) in renovated as well as neglected neighborhoods.
Although Philadelphia's urban identity is compromised by a curse of the quaints (partly because of conventional guidebooks that focus solely on its colonial heritage), at one time this city was a manufacturing boomtown. Referred to as the "workshop of the world," Philadelphia was home to a multifaceted hub of production and distribution, including singular manufacturers such as Baldwin Locomotive Co. (you can still climb aboard a 350-ton, 101-foot-long Baldwin 60000, installed at the Franklin Institute, a science and technology museum) and Stetson Hats (inventor of the original ten-gallon cowboy hat), as well as thousands of other smokestacked factories turning out everything from toys to twine.
What happened next is no surprise to anyone who has ever fidgeted his or her way through a high school history class. During the postwar manufacturing shift, when patriotism did not extend to "buying American," businesses fled the city, abandoning factories and mills. Like other American cities, Philadelphia stumbled over the problems caused by industrial obsolescence and fell into disrepair. But here's the difference. When it came time for urban renewal, instead of focusing on the "new"—tearing down and starting over—Philadelphia honored its past by concentrating on the "re": recycling, restoring, and rethinking how to best use its structures, in the process allowing buildings to have long lives. No wonder local screenwriter and film director M. Night Shyamalan chose Philadelphia as the location for The Sixth Sense, his 1999 supernatural thriller: there is something haunting about a city where everything used to be something else.
You can see significant examples of commercial "adaptive re-use" everywhere. On Broad Street, also known as the Avenue of the Arts, the Ritz-Carlton, Philadelphia occupies a McKim, Mead & White turn-of-the-20th-century reproduction of the Roman Pantheon that once housed the Girard and Mellon banks; the former Reading Terminal, which has the world's largest single-arch train shed, is now a top-notch food market (from artisanal cheese and free-range chickens to tacos and hoagies) as well as the city's convention center; the flagship store of Philadelphia-based Anthropologie sits on a corner of Rittenhouse Square in a Beaux-Arts building that was once home to industrialist millionaires Sara Drexel Fell and Alexander Van Rensselaer.
Most vital to Philadelphia's resurgence are industrial-to-residential conversions. Thanks to a 10-year property tax abatement, converting the abandoned buildings of Philadelphia's past is more than doable; it's desirable. Unsightlyfeatures that smacked of a building's working-class roots—cumbersome details such as beams supported by metal columns; exposed pipes crisscrossing mile-high ceilings; wall-sized windows that actually open (necessary for light and air in factories without modern climate control)—have been reborn as industrial chic.
Again, what is happening in Philadelphia may appear to be no different from what is happening in other American cities attempting the same overhauls. But the number, size, and diversity of the factories still standing, plus their proximity and contrast to other historical housing, is unparalleled. I've got nothing but love for these buildings. Center City's industrial conversions are as distinctive and important as the Federal-style town houses and Victorian mansions of Society Hill and Rittenhouse Square. They speak of Philadelphia's history, just a different—but perhaps not as picturesque—era.
In less residential areas, large-scale conversions have taken place. A prime example of this transformation is the Left Bank, a mixed-use complex located in a block-long, 700,000-square-foot Art Deco building that was originally the Pennsylvania Railroad Freight Warehouse (among the largest buildings on the National Register of Historic Places to be converted to residential use). But even in Center City, developers have changed more than 300,000 square feet of factory and warehouse space into loft housing in the past three years, with 500,000 more on the drawing board.
The population of Center City skews in favor of single-person households (61 percent). And in one of those odd twists that demographers love, the very people who sought the solace of the suburbs in order to raise a family now find themselves longing for a return to city living as they watch television in their relaxed-fit jeans. According to Center City Developments (published by the Center City District and Central Pennsylvania Development Corp.), between 1990 and 2000, married couples became Center City's second-largest residential group, at 15 percent. Even my neighbors, an older couple who "retired" from the suburbs, became late-in-life loft dwellers in the converted shoe factory we call home.
Ask a dozen Philadelphians what draws them to downtown and you'll get as many answers. Some will go on about everything from the Pennsylvania Ballet to experimental theater, in such impressive settings as the Academy of Music—the oldest American grand opera house still used for its original purpose—and the soaring Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts, designed by Rafael Viñoly.
Others point to the city's wide range of subcultures. During the residential concentration of its industrial heyday, immigrants formed their own communities, setting up churches, shops, and schools in districts where they could continue to speak their native language. Today there are still distinct "communities" below the city's surface, but kinship seems rooted in shared tastes rather than commonly held ethnic and religious traditions. Every society has a "third place" that provides a walk-to refuge between work and home —the Parisian sidewalk café, the Italian gelateria, the German Biergarten—and the continuing presence of these European-style hangouts is a direct link to Philadelphia's multicultural past.
One of my favorite third places is the chic coffeehouse La Colombe (130 S. 19th St.; 215/563-0860), with a beautiful solid wood turn-of-the-century bar, converted by partners Jean-Philippe Iberti and Todd Carmichael into a customized coffee station. The partners started their café business in 1994 using a 15-kilo Vittoria roaster, and now turn out 470 metric tons a year. Not only is La Colombe the best cup of coffee I've ever had in Philadelphia, but it is the best cup of coffee I've ever had anywhere, including New York. With five blends sold nationally, La Colombe is served in the restaurants of Manhattan's pickiest chefs, like Daniel Boulud, Alain Ducasse, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
But the strongest case I can make for this city's revitalization is its diverse restaurant scene. For the last 20 years, telling New Yorkers what to eat has been my business. As a former highfalutin caterer, I have prepared intimate parties in private homes as well as splashy events like a sit-down dinner for 300 at the Guggenheim Museum. It was also my pleasure to tell people where to eat, providing restaurant advice by matching the specific occasion to the perfect location. But lately, when people ask me to name my favorite restaurants, I tell them that on the whole, I'd rather eat in Philadelphia.
This city has been the culinary hub of my adult life as I traveled up and down the Northeast Corridor. In the early seventies, when it was still a thrill to find fancy food in funky places, I had my first "fusion" meal (today's upmarket name for flavors from a city's melting-pot neighborhoods) in a renovated storefront restaurant called Frog. During that period, I also ate at Wildflowers, Astral Plane, and Lickety Split; the names may sound outdated, but what was going on in those restaurants is still influencing cuisine today. Before terms like regional and free-range became commonplace, these entrepreneurs were using what they could get their hands on: the bounty from the countryside, where tradition kept the farmers rooted in agriculture, not agribusiness. Although they may not have gotten the press of their Californian counterparts such as Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, people like Steve Poses of Frog were at the forefront of a culinary revolution, scratching seasonal menus on blackboards out of necessity, not merely fashion.
Today, the city has almost too many destination restaurants to mention: Striped Bass, Morimoto, Susanna Foo, La Croix, Salt, as well as offerings from headlining chefs that show up on hot-restaurant roundups, such as Marc Vetri's eponymous 10-table hybrid of classic and contemporary Italian cooking, or Guillermo Pernot's fiery ¡Pasión!, to name just a few.
And witness the city's burgeoning "bring your own bottle" movement. Liquor and wine distribution in Pennsylvania is run by the state, and restaurateurs pay the same amount as their own customers (their only discount being the 7 percent sales tax), so it might seem that the BYOB trend grows out of restriction. But it's actually about freedom. A BYOB is often more of a personal statement for the chef-owner, with a smaller number of seats than most conventional restaurants and a spontaneous seasonal menu.
Most people don't typically figure the cost of the bottle into the cost of the meal, and, for that reason, BYOB's are almost recession-proof, quickly building a coterie of repeat customers. First-timers often complain about the very things that make BYOB's so lovable to regulars: the panache of limited seating, the excitement of small, select menus listing specials that may be snapped up by the time they get a chance to order.
At the popular Django (526 S. Fourth St.; 215/922-7151; dinner for two $70), Aimee Olexy and her husband, Bryan Sikora, are big proponents of the "buy local, cook global" philosophy, showcasing food that is fragile in its seasonality. Order a dish such as cannelloni of wild dried Montana morels, sautéed wild leeks, and white-asparagus vinaigrette when you see it; it may take another growing cycle before you see it again.
This surging scene reminds me of years ago, when a chef from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, told me: "There are three kinds of cuisine in America. There is French, there is Oriental, there is Philadelphian."
Now that I live in Philadelphia, I am more guide than guest these days. For the most part, friends who come to visit aren't interested in the Liberty Bell. I let them do a couple of cartwheels in my thousand-square-foot loft, and that's all the Philadelphia freedom they seem to require. In addition to giving restaurant advice, I also encourage them to see the beautiful public gardens in Independence National Historical Park, near the just-opened National Constitution Center, a strikingly angular structure designed by Henry N. Cobb. "Center City Philadelphia has the nation's largest concentration of people who walk to work," reports Mark Alan Hughes, senior fellow of the University of Pennsylvania; strolling through this immaculate public ground, you can understand why. People in Philadelphia live with history on a daily basis. They have access to national landmarks not found in most other American cities. I might not stand in line with schoolchildren to see the most significant institutions of our colonial heritage, but I rarely miss the opportunity to walk through the park on warm days, stretching out on a bench to have my coffee.
Early one recent morning, I was awakened by the irritating, all-too-familiar sound of rattling jackhammers: a 7 a.m. crew was outside, tearing up the historic Belgian Block surface of New Street, a short stretch connecting Third and Fourth Streets in my neighborhood. "Typical city wreck and ruin" I grumbled as I closed my windows against the noise. Weeks later, when the work was done, I watched several masons get down on their knees to reline the street—by hand—with the blocks they had painstakingly saved. When people ask if I regret my experimental exodus, this is the poetic, quintessential Philadelphia moment I conjure up.
Philadelphia took more than 150 years to develop, and three of its neighborhoods generally chronicle that spread, from east to west. For your own self-guided walking tour, start at the Delaware and work your way toward the Schuylkill.
STAY AT: SHERATON SOCIETY HILL Set back from a wide, tree-lined drive that sweeps around the Greek Revival-style Philadelphia Merchant's Exchange (the first stock exchange in the country), this compact hotel is built low to match the scale of the neighborhood and to preserve river views from Society Hill Towers, the I. M. Pei-designed apartments across the drive. 1 Dock St.; 800/325-3535; www.starwood.com; doubles from $179.
EAT AT: FORK A graceful, non-gimmicky American bistro where everyone will be happy. Order the house-baked sour cream coffee cake or mascarpone-stuffed French toast with warm currant compote at the friendliest Sunday brunch in town. 306 Market St.; 215/625-9425; brunch for two $30.
SNACK AT: PETIT 4 PASTRY STUDIO There's finely detailed, French-influenced pastry work going on here: classic tortes, tarts, and éclairs. If you're lucky, the bakers might be working on a tray of their trademark petits fours—Tiffany-blue boxes with a ribbon of icing, or pink squares featuring Robert Indiana's distinctive LOVE logo. 160 N. Third St.; 215/627-8440.
SHOP AT: FOSTER'S URBAN HOMEWARE If New Yorkers are obsessed with their city, and Californians with their cars, Philadelphians fixate on their interiors. Nothing exemplifies the city's metro-modern mojo better than Foster's, a sort of glamorous hardware store carrying a well-edited mix of streamlined glassware, utensils, and textiles. A savvy staff offers design and decorating advice to shoppers more concerned with the question, "Does this go with my life?" than "Does this match my couch?" 124 N. Third St.; 267/671-0588.
DON'T MISS: The Dream Garden is a 15-by-49-foot mosaic mural by Louis Comfort Tiffany, based on a Maxfield Parrish painting; it's housed in the lobby of the Curtis Center, a 1910 Georgian Revival that served as headquarters for the Saturday Evening Post. In 1998, developer Steve Wynn bought the iridescent mural (100,000 pieces of glass in some 260 tones) for his art collection, but civic-minded Philadelphians helped reverse the sale, and The Dream Garden stayed put. Walnut and Sixth Sts.; admission free.
STAY AT: LOEWS PHILADELPHIA HOTEL Designed by Howe and Lescaze and built in 1932, the landmarked Philadelphia Saving Fund Society building was the first International Style skyscraper in the country. Its 27-foot-high, red neon PSFS sign (lit 24 hours a day during the Depression to reassure customers) is a fixture in the Philadelphia skyline. The Loews Philadelphia Hotel now occupies the structure; on the three concierge levels (29th floor and above), you can see the 27-ton, cast-iron William Penn crowning nearby City Hall, the largest statue in the world to top a building. 1200 Market St.; 800/235-6397; www.loewshotels.com; doubles from $215.
EAT AT: VIETNAM Clean, light, fragrant, and energized are the words for the cuisine at Vietnam. Owner Benny Thuan Lai attributes such adjectives to the leaves: almost every dish is served alongside mint, lettuce, or lemongrass. Order No. 8, charbroiled pork rolls wrapped in rice paper, followed by No. 75, "seafood spicy salt," along with a Vietnamese beer. 221 N. 11th St.; 215/592-1163; dinner for two $35.
DON'T MISS: Philadelphia's legendary cheese steaks are really neither about the cheese nor the steak, they're about the story—where it is, how long it took you to find it, and who went along for the ride. Seven years ago, Sheila Lukins, my former boss at the Silver Palate, asked me to write about cheese steaks for her USA Cookbook. I was driven around Philadelphia by Wayne and Bob Aretz, brothers who knew every culinary nook and cranny of the city and asked lots of questions. Was the roll crusty enough and the interior soft but still substantial?Is Cheez Whiz the right choice?(If so, order "wit Whiz.") After three days of discussion and tasting—including several from the Reading Terminal Market at 12th and Arch Streets—we decided upon Tony Luke's (39 E. Oregon Ave.; 215/551-5725), a well-balanced cheese steak "wit." Truth is, I really don't remember the sandwich all that well. But riding around town in pursuit of hot meat was unforgettable.
STAY AT: FOUR SEASONS HOTEL PHILADELPHIA From the Four Seasons, you get a sense of the span of the Ben Franklin Parkway, marked by "the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost," works from three generations of the Calder family. Alexander Milne Calder created the famous statue of Penn that tops City Hall; his son Alexander Stirling Calder's Swann Memorial is at Logan Circle, and the white Ghost mobile in the Philadelphia Museum of Art was designed by grandson Alexander (Sandy) Calder. 1 Logan Square; 800/332-3442; www.fourseasons.com; doubles from $310.
EAT AT: FOUNTAIN RESTAURANT AT THE FOUR SEASONS Chef Martin Hamann challenges his hometown's cheese steak image with citified dishes such as Muscovy duck dressed with red onion tarte Tatin and star anise game reduction. This is mature, intelligent cooking—refined without being rarefied—and Hamann never loses his footing. 215/963-1500; dinner for two $125.
DON'T MISS: The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts houses American art ranging from Thomas Eakins to Georgia O'Keeffe. But the real jewel is the building itself, designed by George Hewitt and Frank Furness; Furness was influenced by art critic John Ruskin's book-length 1849 essay Seven Lamps of Architecture (adhering to the Lamp of Truth meant that everything used was real—no plaster painted to look like wood). The building is strange and wonderful and slightly hallucinogenic: black, pink, and white marble; a starry, brilliant blue ceiling; ornamental birds and flowers everywhere. 118 N. Broad St.; 215/972-7600.
You can spend a weekend in Philadelphia and eat almost every meal in a different Stephen Starr restaurant. A former concert promoter, Starr is a supercharged urban planner/party planner who frequently describes his properties in terms of movies and television shows. But don't call them theme restaurants; instead, Starr creates complete environments with an artistic, almost cerebral approach.Here, the best places (and times) for an all-Starr sampler.
BRUNCH JONES The retro décor of Jones—swivel chairs, wall-to-wall carpeting, even a fieldstone fireplace—seems a cross between the Mid-Century Modern of Rob and Laura Petrie and the Brady Bunch's seventies split-level ranch. Order the BMW pancakes: caramelized bananas, maple syrup, and walnuts. 700 Chestnut St.; 215/223-5663; brunch for two $35.
LUNCH CONTINENTAL A stainless-steel diner retooled as a martini bar with a global tapas menu. Olive-shaped halogen lamps pierced by huge toothpicks are suspended over the booths; the banquettes are olive green with pimiento-red trim. 138 Market St.; 215/923-6069; lunch for two $35.
DINNER POD If George and Jane Jetson opened an Asian-fusion place of their own, Pod would be it. There's a sushi conveyor belt, molded rubber furniture that lights up when you sit down, and high-gloss white poured-resin walls. 3636 Sansom St.; 215/387-1803; dinner for two $80.
DINNER ALMA DE CUBA A collaboration with nuevo latino master Douglas Rodriguez means signature ceviche (such as Fire and Ice: fluke with preserved lemon and hot garlic oil) and Cuban-inspired dishes like truffled empanadas and sugarcane-skewered tuna. 1623 Walnut St.; 215/988-1799; dinner for two $80.
DINNER BUDDAKAN A 10-foot gold Buddha watches over a long communal table in this former post office. On the menu: ginger martinis, edamame ravioli, and roasted ponzu chicken. 325 Chestnut St.; 215/574-9440; dinner for two $80.
LATE NIGHT TANGERINE You'll walk through a long, come-to-the-Casbah candlelit entranceway before you find the dining room, where votive candles, tucked into dozens of tiny individual niches along one wall, flicker like the twinkling lights of a distant city. 232 Market St.; 215/627-5116; dinner for two $80.
WHENEVER YOU CAN GET A TABLE MORIMOTO Starr joined forces with Masaharu Morimoto (TV's Iron Chef) and designer Karim Rashid to create this stunningly beautiful space. The walls are so rounded and smooth that they're almost liquid, while glass-top tables are framed by opalescent, lit-from-within benches that slowly shift from blue and green to fuchsia. Morimoto's ever-changing omakase ("Put yourself in my hands") is a multicourse tasting menu that may include such delicacies as hot-oil sashimi (live scallops splashed with blended hot oil and sprinkled with ginger and chives) or Kobe beef foie gras with Japanese sweet potato. 723 Chestnut St.; 215/413-9070; omakase for two $160.
Philadelphia is within easy driving distance of its nearest big-city siblings: 109 miles south of New York City and 136 miles north of Washington, D.C. Another option: leave the car behind and come here by train (Amtrak serves the city from several points along the Eastern Seaboard), arriving at the grand 1934 30th Street Station. It's a short walk (or cab ride, if you really miss that car) to Center City.

'"As a team, we're having a tough time finding the back of the net," said Buffalo's Jason Pominville. "That's when you have to dig deeper and get those ugly goals and just outwork them around the crease. I just don't think we're doing a good enough job at it so far."'

Sabres anxious to get Grier back in lineup
'"(Grier's) one of the better two-way players in the league," Ruff said Tuesday morning after the Sabres prepared for the Capitals at HSBC Arena. "I think these tight games earlier in the year that we were winning, the tight games now we lost. He's been around the room," the coach said. "But there's nothing like having the jersey on and playing."'

Sabres 2009-10 junior prospects update
'None of the Sabres junior prospects currently have signed contracts, but Nick Crawford, Luke Adam, Lagace and Jordon Southorn will all need to be signed prior to June of next year should Buffalo wish to keep them in the organization. Furthermore, Maxime Legault, drafted as a 20-year-old, is playing in his final over-age season in the QMJHL this year.'
Former Sabre LaFontaine moves on off the ice
'The Companion in Courage Foundation is LaFontaine's avenue to life-altering experiences. It is creating a "Lion's Den" for two more hospitals, bringing the total to 10. Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Women & Children's Hospital opened the first two rooms, filled with computers and games that offer children an opportunity to play and interact with others. As the foundation's Web site says, it gives them an oasis from the poking and prodding often associated with hospital stays, providing a brief respite to allow a kid to be a kid.'
Loss to Senators is second nature for Sabres
'For the second straight game, the Sabres dominated a foe during the opening period. Then they completely fell apart. This time, it was their old nemesis who made them pay. The Sabres watched a 1-0 lead and 17-5 shots advantage turn into a 5-1 deficit with a few mental lapses and trips to the penalty box.'

Character Sleepwear: Boys & Girls
This sleepwear is for your wee one, mostly, but if you get a custom-made giant spring and dress it up? As long as you do it in the privacy of your own home, it's none of our business. But keep in mind, the stuff is primarily designed for small children.
Ends on April 8 at 9AM CT
