Since Apple removed the stock YouTube app in iOS 6 many users have flocked to the hugely popular third party YouTube app Jasmine for their YouTube fix. Jasmine has just received an update today which adds in some nice new features but unfortunately, Google / YouTube have insisted that some features be taken away too.
Google has insisted that the developers remove the following from the Jasmine app:-
- Removed Automatic "Background Audio" playback. Native to iOS, this can still be invoked manually by double-tapping the home button, swiping right and hitting play
- Removed customisable skip/rewind controls
- Switched to YouTube compliant playback (adds 1-2 seconds to video load times and limits refinement around playlist auto-queuing)
To offset the disappointment of losing these features, Jasmine has got some shiny new features to enjoy so it is not all bad news:-
- Drastic improvements to available videos
- Added "Preferred Quality" selection to Playback Settings
- Added "Watch Later" list in Playlists section
- Added timestamp to videos
- Fixed: Missing videos from playlists
- Removed: "Always Ask" option for feed quality (use "Preferred Quality" instead in Playback Settings)
I hope that some of the positive changes here will help to alleviate the negative. I'm more disappointed than anybody else at the removal of some of these conveniences, but I'm not discouraged. There is still a lot to be done, and so much that will be improved.

It is always disappointing when an app update takes away feature so if you use the removed features think carefully before updating the app. Of course by not updating you do run the risk of the app not working in the future as well as missing out on new features when they are added.

About RBC > Community & Sustainability > News > RBC innovation brings banking services to remote community in Labrador
When the Innu Education school board in Sheshatshiu needed bank accounts for their employees, they contacted RBC Royal Bank. Mike Spurrell, Branch Manager of the Happy Valley-Goose Bay branch, took the call and quite literally, flew into action.
In June 2010, Spurrell hopped aboard a small cargo plane and flew to Natuashish, situated on the coast of Labrador, 300 kilometres north of Happy Valley-Goose Bay. Upon arrival, he set up his temporary office in the community's new band council building and quickly got down to business opening accounts, so that school board and council employees could begin to receive their paycheques through direct deposit.
"I worked through those fairly quickly," he says. However, Spurrell's new clients soon began asking about accounts for their children, parents and friends. With no banking facilities in a community of 725 residents, many had never been able to open accounts before and were limited to cashing cheques at the only store in town, the Mushuau Innu General Store.
"The challenge is that the first 10 people or so who get to the store get their cheques cashed, and then the store runs out of cash," explains Spurrell. "So while most people have a paycheque, they may not have the physical dollars and cents to purchase groceries and other needed items."
The community radio station put out a call to let people know that Mike from RBC was in town to help people open bank accounts. People of all ages started showing up; most wanted to seize the opportunity to open their very first bank accounts.
"I didn't really have much slow time in the two days I was there," says Spurrell. "But whenever I didn't have anybody in to see me, the folks at the radio station put out another call to the community to say I had some openings, and sure enough, a few minutes later, another person or two would be coming through the door."
At the end of two very busy days, Spurrell opened 50 new accounts — an enormous social benefit to the community. Now, with RBC Royal Bank direct deposit services, residents can take their bank card to the local store and purchase groceries using a debit machine, eliminating the need for cash.
A lot of the new clients were young people in their twenties, explains Spurrell. He says a bank account is an anchor for them, and may help to open more doors down the road — whether it's for a loan to go to school or start a business, a mortgage or an RRSP. "Everybody has to start somewhere," he says. "I think the most important thing is RBC Royal Bank has the ability to offer remote banking and can go to communities like Natuashish and get it done."

From Brandeis University Athletics
Brandeis University junior Anya Kamber of Sammamish, Wash., has been named a first-team All-American utility player by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA). She was honored tonight at the NCAA Division III Softball Tournament finals in Tyler, Texas.
Kamber, who was previously named second-team All-University Athletic Association and first-team All-New England, is Brandeis's second-straight first-team All-American, joining classmate and center fielder Amanda Genovese of North Haven, Conn. The only other All-American in program history was Kaitlin Streilein '08 in 2008.
Kamber finished second on the team with a .420 batting average. She was the only Brandeis player to appear in all 39 games this year, starting 24 games as an outfielder, 10 at shortstop, two each at first base and second base, and even one as a catcher. Kamber led the squad in hits (58), doubles (11) and RBIs (38). She was fifth in the UAA in batting average and fourth in hits. In 10 games in which she filled in while All-America teammate (and roommate) Genovese was injured, Kamber hit .541 and slugged .730.
For her career, Kamber has played in 75 of a possible 76 contests, with a career .340 batting average, 25 doubles, two triples and seven home runs for a .460 slugging percentage.
The Brandeis softball team posted a 21-18 record this season, the eighth under head coach Jessica Johnson. The Judges earned the second seed in the 2014 ECAC Division III New England tournament, but were ousted in two games.

April 25, 2007
Dr. Patrick White is the sort of college president that can go from discussing the beginnings of the new capital campaign to The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance almost seamlessly. His interests are intense and broad-ranging, and he is happy to talk about what engages and excites him. The Wabash community has certainly found this out during his first year as president. For his part, he has learned many lessons about Wabash, the culture of the College, and the broader community.
"I certainly learned a lot about Wabash and alumni and their devotion to Wabash," White said. "It's both loving what happened to their [i.e., alumni] experience in the past and wanting the best for the future."
The recent Wabash Commentary shakeup is an example of the two issues about which White cares. "It was an interesting moment, because students played it out in their own ways," White said. "They go out and lead, and that's good news."
White has been pleased with the leadership shown by students in all contexts with which he has experience and knowledge. "I have been so incredibly impressed with the students at Wabash who act as though they're full players," White said.
White warned against a drive to take student responsibility and freedom from students, in favor of a more aggressive administrative regime. "I think, sometimes, there's a lot in American college experience, faculty, and administration that wants to control and infantilize the students," White said.
After Dr. Andrew Ford's thirteen-year tenure, the experience of a new president was indeed new to all students and many members of the faculty. The experience has been unique for White, as well. "I learned how public a figure the president is at Wabash," a lesson that he termed "curiously humbling and yet very flattering."
However, Ford's legacy of a capital campaign and a massive building program still remains on campus. White is not bothered by the inevitable comparisons to Ford. "I have a lot of respect for Andy Ford, but I have so much respect that I won't try imitating him," White said. "If you're not speaking in an authentic voice, then it's just too hard."
In a previous interview with the Bachelor's Rob Fenoglio, for the special inauguration issue, White discussed a course on women in film he taught at St. Mary's College. This year, he taught a day of Cultures and Traditions, substituting for the regular professor. Courses that he would like to teach at Wabash include gender in film and a course about liberal arts colleges. "I'd like to teach a course about liberal arts colleges," White said. "What are these wonderful things?"
However, his return to teaching is not imminent. "I haven't found a way," White said.
The housing issues for independent men, which have returned to the forefront of many minds with the troubled renovations at College Hall, are also important to White. "We may be needing to find short-term housing," White said.
However, White would like to assess "our needs and our opportunities here" before charging headlong into a major renovation or construction project. Furthermore, the Board of Trustees will have to make any final decisions on housing.
On the broader issue of independents and fraternities, White took the issue from both sides. "Wabash had put some real investment in fraternity life," White said. "This is a good thing, good things happen in fraternities."
However, that is not to say that independents are forgotten in the College's culture and life. "There is support from alumni to make sure that independents are not left behind," White said. He also expressed interest in discovering the character of living units, fraternities and dormitories alike.
When asked about bringing the various research centers of the College, like the Wabash Center and the Center for Inquiry, into the life of the College, White quipped, "That's a resolution devoutly to be wished."
White discussed the histories of the centers and the level of faculty engagement in the context of what they can and should contribute to the College, as opposed to the broader communities that they serve. "What is the relationship between this entity and Wabash students and professors," White asked. "This has not been answered because it almost hasn't been asked."
Of the Wabash Center, it is "more famous at Duke University than at Wolcott," White said.
While there is only so far that these centers can go in integrating completely into the life of the College, White hopes for progress. "At the very least, [he wants] students having more understanding about what is going on there," White said.
The recent curriculum review has met with White's approval. "I'm pleased with the process, because people are talking and taking it seriously," White said. "Gary Phillips and the other people who are driving this are keeping a central focus on student learning."
"We shouldn't be sort of willy-nilly flying around changing things," White said. "The character of the College needs to be grounded in some continuity."
White enjoys thinking about issues such as student freedom, the academic life of the College, and the mission of Wabash. "I hope we don't know quite yet how good we can be at Wabash," White said.

Did you ever think you'd be wearing plants while hanging ten? Outdoor adventurist brand Patagonia has been making strides with their experimentation with eco-friendly wetsuits. They're latest line borrows from the plant world- replacing petroleum-based synthetics with bio-materials, making the world's first plant based wet suit.
Patagonia is no stranger to sustainability or customer service, their recent R1 wetsuit was designed to please customers in warmer waters, and is made entirely from recycled polyester. The company itself hopes to change the game of active fashion, leading the industry into green fashion.
Most wetsuits are made of neoprene, a petroleum-based synthetic that both shields surfers from water while keeping them warm. Greener versions of the synthetic, which also include recycled materials, are available, but it can never be called truly green as long as they contain neoprene. Enter Patagonia, who went on a mission to create a neoprene-free suit.
Four years into the research, they've achieved a 60% plant based wet suit. With the help of clean technology company Yulex Corporation, Patagonia was able to create a wetsuit made with guayule, a renewable non-food crop. Guayule is grown widely without pesticides in the U.S. and is structurally sound. The company will continue to develop the material and hopes to make a 100% guayule based suit in the coming years.
The 60 percent plant-based suit will launch in Japan next spring.

Who said what after qualifying for the US Grand Prix
Read what the teams and drivers had to say after qualifying for the United States Grand Prix
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
Heikki Kovalainen - 22nd
"We underperformed today, it's really that simple. We went with a plan that didn't work and unfortunately both Vitaly and I weren't able to get enough heat into the tyres to get the best out of them, or manage the traffic well enough to get a clean lap in. Tomorrow's another day so now we need to regroup and have a better performance in the race than we did today."
Vitaly Petrov - 21st
"Quali obviously didn't go how we wanted it to. I had traffic issues on every lap and wasn't able to put a clean lap together, but even without that we've struggled with the tyres here all weekend and that showed today. It was bad timing for us that the HRT stopped on track just when Heikki and I were on our quickest laps and having been stuck behind them, but you can't plan for that so we need to put today behind us and hopefully we'll be better tomorrow."
Fernando Alonso - 8th
"We never managed to put together the best lap, which on these tyres and with these track conditions is always the last one you do. We knew it would be a complicated weekend but clearly today we were too slow and we will start from too far back. Having said that, the accounts are always done at the end of the race: also in Abu Dhabi we were slower than our main rivals and then we got back three points in the classification. Our aim remains unchanged and it's still possible: on Sunday all sorts of things can happen. Reliability, strategy - it will be important to work out when is the best time to pit because here, the cold tyres can be slower by several seconds - and team work will be as usual important. The updates? We tried to find the best possible combination between all the parts we had available, as it's not always the case that the latest part is the best choice, especially when you are at a brand new track. We will push to the limit, as we have done since the start of the year at every race weekend."
Felipe Massa - 6th
"This qualifying was pretty much a lottery: the lucky number is always the last one! With this type of tyre on this asphalt one struggles to get the tyres up to temperature and one has to lap continuously before being able to set a good time. IN Q2, we managed it, but in Q3 things did not go as well: it's never easy to do the perfect lap with so little grip. It will definitely not be an easy race for us, given the grid positions of our main rivals, but we must stay focused because all the same, tomorrow will be hard for everyone. We will have to do our utmost and then we will see how it goes. Starting from the dirty side of the track is definitely not helpful: it's the first time we're not happy about gaining a grid position!"
Stefano Domenicali, team principal
"A disappointing qualifying that puts us in a very difficult position in terms of the championship, given that our main rival will start from pole position. The main problem was linked to tyre performance, but let's make it clear, the responsibility rests with us, because the tyres are the same for everyone and therefore it's down to us to try and get them to work as well as possible. We must analyse very carefully the way qualifying went, to understand what didn't work but above all, we must concentrate on preparing for the race. We have said it often, the sums are done on Sunday afternoon: clearly the outlook is not positive but we are well aware that the situation can be different in the race. There are no reference points for a new track therefore the unknown factors are greater than usual: we have a duty to tackle every aspect to perfection."
Pat Fry, technical director
"A very difficult qualifying, there's no doubt about it. The tyre-asphalt combination created conditions that were very difficult to interpret and we probably struggled more than others. We even tried to make the most of FP3 to prepare as well as possible for qualifying and now we must look at the data carefully to try and understand what didn't work out as it should have done. Clearly we can expect a very complicated Sunday, but there's no point crying over spilt milk. We must just try and do our utmost to give our drivers the chance to run as good a race as possible. From what we can see over these past two days, tyre degradation seems rather low, therefore it's more than likely we can expect just one stop, so that's probably one less variable in terms of the strategy."
Force IndiaPaul di Resta - 13th
"It has been a difficult weekend so far and I'm still struggling to get the tyres working. I have quite a smooth driving style so maybe that's why I haven't been able to switch them on as well as Nico, who has a more aggressive approach. The good news is that P13 is on the cleaner side of the grid so that should help me maximise the start. It's a long race but I'm not really sure what to expect tomorrow. The car is not quite where I want it to be so I just need to make the best of it and hope we can use the strategy to help us move forward."
Nico Hulkenberg - 7th
"I'm happy to get another top ten result and it's been a good effort by the whole team, especially given where we were yesterday evening. My lap in Q3 was not too bad, but I was a little compromised by a Williams in the last couple of corners, so maybe there was a little bit more to come. Generally I'm quite happy and confident we can race strongly because our long-run pace looked competitive yesterday. There are lots of unknowns about tomorrow because there is no data from the past to help us, but we're in good shape and I'm really enjoying driving at this new track."
Vijay Mallya, team principal
"The Circuit of the Americas is a spectacular venue for motor racing and it was great to see so many fans here to watch today's qualifying session. It's not been the easiest of weekends for us in terms of setting up the car and getting the tyres to work, but the changes overnight certainly improved the situation and we looked more competitive in final practice. By the time of the qualifying session, Nico was feeling a lot more confident and managed to make Q3 once again. With a grid penalty for Grosjean, we expect Nico to start from seventh. Paul has been struggling more with the tyres, but he's certainly in the mix for the race and will continue to fight. The priority tomorrow is to pick up points and strengthen our position in the championship."
HRTPedro de la Rosa - 23rd
"It was not easy and still not perfect but I knew that it would be a lot better than yesterday and this morning on my out lap. I could already feel the tyres switching on. We struggled with bringing them up to temperature all weekend and finally in qualifying we managed. Both because the temperature of the asphalt picked up and we improved the the balance of the car, but grip level is still pretty low. It felt good and hopefully it will be like this tomorrow for the race but at this track we are still far from our direct competitors. In any case, we will do our best tomorrow and fight until the end".
Narain Karthikeyan - 24th
"Driving was quite challenging in the morning because it was difficult to bring the tyres up to temperature. But things improved a lot in the afternoon with a much warmer track. The tyres and the car performed much better and we managed to put in a few good laps. I think we could still have improved on the last laps but the car suddenly stopped. We had a problem with the fuel pick up that we are now looking into it but we don't expect it to be a problem for tomorrow's race".
Toni Cuquerella, technical director
"From the first sessions, all teams have had trouble warming tyres up but in our case it is particularly difficult due to low aerodynamic support. In the morning with the cold track we struggled to put in good lap times and the difference to the fastest time was too big. Fortunately, conditions changed for the afternoon and track temperature rose notably which, together with some set up adjustments, allowed us to get the tyres within the working temperature range. In our case, tyre wear is marginal therefore we expect to go for a one pit stop strategy for the race. We will have to be particularly careful when we start getting blue flags in order to avoid disturbing but also not loosing too much temperature on the way".
LotusKimi Raikkonen - 4th
"I was actually expecting a more difficult qualifying session today, but the car was the best it's felt all weekend so it turned out to be quite good. The set-up is still not exactly how I want it but it's much closer. The warmer conditions make the car work much better and that certainly makes a difference. Starting on the dirty side of the grid maybe isn't the best; we'll have to hope that the circuit picks up a little more grip for the race tomorrow."
Romain Grosjean - 9th
"I will start P9, but this is racing. The guys did an awesome job to change the gearbox between FP3 and Qualifying - which was a really tight turnaround - but we're still in the top ten even with the penalty so that's a good result. Apart from the gearbox problem, it's all gone very well today. We've understood a difficult and evolving circuit and found a good set-up. I'm happy to be where I am and at least I will be on the good side of the track for the start tomorrow."
MarussiaTimo Glock - 19th
"Another good day today. I think we concentrated on the right things, although it was a challenge through FP3 to get to that point as it is hard to put a good single lap together here. In qualifying I thought I had a strong lap and the tyres were really coming in, but towards the end I had a bit of wheel lift and the rear felt a bit strange. I think we could have gone quicker because the tyres were improving so much lap by lap, but because of the yellow flags there was no chance for more improvement. However, we are almost 0.8s ahead of the Caterhams and we have to be very pleased with that. This is great development from the team and although it seems like we remind everyone every race just now, we've managed all that without the advantage of KERS and that is a significant point. I'm very excited for the race and I hope we can continue the good work."
Charles Pic - 20th
"It was a good qualifying session and the most important thing is that we got both our cars ahead of both Caterhams. Looking at the detail though, I missed some important track time this morning because of the incident with Perez and we were not able to get a good feel for the car by the end of FP3. There was more to come for qualifying for sure and then towards the end of Q1 we hit some traffic. Overall, despite not having fully optimised our package, I am pleased with where we ended up. It is a fantastic result for the team and to keep moving forward like this with each new race is very positive. Now we will focus on the race and take time tonight to consider the best way to play things to bring us a good result. My thanks to the whole team for such a great job."
John Booth, team principal
"Today is an important day for the whole team as it represents the culmination of the aggressive development programme we have undertaken since the mid-season. We have demonstrated that we are now faster than the Caterhams after both cars achieved the objective of outqualifying them.
"The day got off to a less than positive start for Charles. As a consequence of the incident with Perez in FP3, he missed a significant amount of track time and had to use a compromised car for the last 30 minutes of the session, which for sure hurt his qualifying performance due to the lack of running on what has proved to be a track where mileage is essential. Nevertheless, he did a fantastic job in qualifying and I'm sure the race tomorrow will provide him with the opportunity to demonstrate even more of his maturing talent. Timo has had a fantastic day from the off. He and his engineers had a very productive morning in ensuring that the car was making optimal use of its tyres and also giving him good position on track. Into qualifying we knew it would be tricky to judge the run length required, which is why we opted to fuel the cars for the session and use the pit crew to change tyres in order to achieve the optimal second run length. This worked out perfectly and today's performance has been a real credit to the whole race team, who have worked together both to solve the problems with Charles' damaged car and also to play out qualifying to maximum effect.
"We are looking forward to the race tomorrow now. Tyres will be the hot topic and we must ensure we maintain this momentum and execute our strategy perfectly to enjoy another fantastic fight with the cars around us."
McLarenLewis Hamilton - 2nd
"I came here this weekend to push almost beyond the limit - and that approach seemed to work in qualifying. I gave it everything.
"I did two consecutive quick-laps - and, on my second lap, having put in a 'banker', I didn't really have anything to lose, so I went almost over the limit, really on the edge, but the car still seemed to handle it well. On the final corner, I gained a little time on the entry but lost it on the exit. I got every corner perfect, I reckon, except for that last one.
"Looking ahead to tomorrow, Turn One is very wide and there'll be lots of opportunities for drivers to make or lose positions. My side of the grid will be a bit dirty, because it's off-line, so I hope the authorities will cleaning the circuit on that side of the track so that the drivers on the inside will have a chance to at least keep their positions at the start."
Jenson Button - 12th
"It was such a pity to be put out of the running so early into the qualifying session. We had a throttle pedal problem - the engineers don't yet know exactly what caused it - but I suffered a loss of drive out on the circuit. Fortunately, I got one decently quick lap in during Q2, which was good enough for P12, otherwise I'd have been starting much farther back.
"This circuit is such a fun place to drive around, but it's not going to be too easy to overtake. Going into Turn One at the start is also going to be tricky, particularly as I'll be starting so far back. Still, I really hope we can put on a great show for all the American fans - it's great to see so many people embracing the sport."
Martin Whitmarsh, team principal
"Today we saw an extremely exciting qualifying session, in which Lewis and Seb [Vettel] traded fastest laps in the later stages of Q3, both men at the absolute peak of their form. In the end, Lewis just failed to score what would have been his 26th pole position in Formula 1, but it was mighty close. Jenson suffered a throttle pedal problem in Q2, which prevented him from being able to cut a really fast lap. That was disappointing for us and frustrating for him, obviously, but he's a brilliantly canny racer and he'll surely make good progress in tomorrow's race from his P12 starting slot.
"As for Lewis's race prospects, well, you may be well sure that he'll be tremendously determined to go one better tomorrow than he did today. In a nutshell, he'll be aiming to win. He did a good long run yesterday, so, although we never under-estimate our opposition, there's no reason why he shouldn't do just that. McLaren has won a total of 11 grands prix on US soil, and it would be awesome if we could make that a dozen tomorrow."
MercedesNico Rosberg - 17th
"I ran our old exhaust system in qualifying today as part of our evaluation programme for next year. We had already used it yesterday and made the decision to continue for the rest of the weekend to help with the learning process. The car felt good this morning in the cool temperatures but the difference to Michael's car surprised me this afternoon. So I hope that the race pace is better tomorrow and the switch will be worth it. I will definitely push to score points."
Michael Schumacher - 5th
"Qualifying was better than we expected, especially as we have struggled over the weekend and have worked hard to make progress and achieve such a solid job today. Qualifying in sixth place is a good and important position for us as a team. I had a good lap in Q3 and everything felt right with the car so we were able to maximise the potential. It will make a big difference here whether you start from the clean or dirty side of the grid, so gaining an extra place due to Grosjean's penalty was a nice surprise. The car looks reasonably consistent for the race and I would like to achieve the maximum result possible tomorrow."
Ross Brawn, team principal
"Today has been about getting the tyres into the right working zone, and the unusual number of laps that everyone ran in qualifying reflects that. With Michael, it worked very well today. He was able to get his tyres working exactly how he wanted, and it was a great effort from Michael and the team to post the sixth fastest time. The extra place gained from Grosjean's penalty means we're on the right side of the grid so an excellent job all round. Nico ran the standard exhaust this afternoon as part of our programme to ensure that we go into the winter fully understanding our exhaust system. Consequently he found it difficult to get the tyres working and that led to the result we got. Whilst it's disappointing to qualify in 17th, and we know that Nico could have done far better in a different car, we will get the full picture of the changes made in the race tomorrow and then have all of the data that we wanted to collect."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes head of motorsport
"A good performance from Michael today who posted the sixth fastest time and will start from fifth place on the grid. Unfortunately Nico did not have the set-up in today's qualifying with which he could achieve a similar or better result. But let's see whether he will be better up over the race distance."
Red BullSebastian Vettel - 1st
Mark Webber - 3rd
SauberSergio Pérez - 15th
"We have lost a lot of performance compared to this morning's practice session and at the moment we don't really know why. The track temperature increased a lot, but for me the tyre warm up still wasn't any better. My car tended to oversteer quite a lot in qualifying. Perhaps we did not follow the way the track conditions developed in the right direction. I want to thank all the people in the grandstands and especially all the Mexicans, who sacrificed time and money to travel to Austin and bought tickets. In my country you always go with your entire family and I know this is not easy to do because it is an expensive trip. I wish I could have done better today, but I will do my very best to give all these people a good race tomorrow. For sure I will fight for points however difficult this might be."
Kamui Kobayashi - 16th
"Without doubt the result is disappointing for us because after free practice we were expecting a better qualifying. I found the warm up of the tyres easier this afternoon, but still I could not find the peak performance for the tyres. I just don't know yet why this was. Tomorrow in the race it should be less of a problem to get the tyres to work, but obviously our grid positions will make it difficult to put in a good result."
Monisha Kaltenborn, team principal
"This qualifying result is a big disappointment for the whole team. We don't really understand what happened, because we couldn't match our lap times from free practice three. It's up to the engineers now to turn this round in the race."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, head of track engineering
"After free practice three we expected a lot more. We didn't make any major changes to the set-up of the cars, and we approached qualifying with quite a lot of confidence. However, both drivers reported a lack of grip. We gave them a higher number of laps to cope with the warm-up issues we had during the weekend, but it didn't produce the result we expected. We just didn't find the same level of grip and balance as we did in the morning. We will have to analyse the data very carefully to understand what went wrong. Certainly the race will be another story, but our grid positions are a clear disadvantage."
Toro Rosso
Daniel Ricciardo - 18th
"That was a difficult and frustrating session for me. We knew it would take a long time for the tyres to come in, especially as the asphalt is still so slippery. We never really got them to work properly as I got stuck in traffic in the early part and then came the yellow flags when I was about to try for my last two laps. It meant I never got a clean run. This is one of my worst qualifying performances of the season, the first time I haven't made it to Q2 for seven races, so I just want to put it behind me now and aim to have a better Sunday, which should be entirely within our capabilities."
Jean-Eric Vergne - 14th
"I think the team has worked well so far this weekend to produce a car that seems a bit more competitive than in the past few races. It doesn't mean much that I beat my team-mate today, because he had some difficulties in the first session. Maybe I could have got a bit more out of the car this afternoon, perhaps found a couple of tenths. After going over the kerbs and damaging the suspension this morning, I obviously lost some track time and without that, I might have had a better understanding of the tyres. However, as I said before, the car feels good, there are plenty of overtaking opportunities here so my plan tomorrow is to go hunting for some more points."
Laurent Mekies, chief engineer
"Overall, this was an unusual qualifying session as after yesterday, everyone knew they would have to do a lot of laps to get the best out of the tyres. Q1 was very tight and in Daniel's case he was unfortunate to be trying for his best lap just as the yellow flags came out, so he did not make the cut into Q2. Jev did a good job this afternoon to outpace both Saubers and Rosberg. All the teams spent a lot of time working out how to get the best out of the Medium Pirellis in qualifying trim and maybe a bit less time thinking about the race, which could make for an interesting afternoon tomorrow. Our starting position certainly does not rule us out of fighting for points. Although it is the most likely scenario, a one stop strategy is not inevitable, because no one has that much long run data from Friday and we have never raced here before."
WilliamsPastor Maldonado - 10th
"The performance wasn't there yesterday so today was much better for us. Unfortunately in Q3 the grip wasn't there, as it was difficult to get the tyres working correctly. It's important we are in the top ten for tomorrow though. We have a good car so we are looking to get more points tomorrow in what looks set to be a good race. All around the track are Venezuelan flags and there is a lot of support here for me as it's so close to my home, so hopefully that will help give me an extra boost tomorrow!"
Bruno Senna - 11th
"Unfortunately I made a small mistake on my best lap in Q2, running a bit wide on Turn 19 and then having dirty tyres which cost me about half a second and a place in Q3 for sure. It's frustrating but we are able to score good points from where we are. We have a good car and we looked competitive in our race simulation in practice yesterday, so I'm really looking forward to the race. It's a track we are all attacking and it's important to keep pushing."
Mark Gillan, chief operations engineer
"Both cars responded well to the overnight set-up changes with the general balance in FP3 being pretty good this morning. Qualifying was somewhat unusual, with most cars doing longer runs in an attempt to get the tyres into their optimal window. Both Bruno and Pastor easily made it through Q1 and Bruno was unlucky not to progress, along with Pastor, into the final Q3 session. Pastor felt that the balance was not as good in Q3 as he had felt it in earlier sessions and struggled to put a clean lap together finishing in tenth. We are looking forward to tomorrow and will push hard to get both drivers home in the points"

After spending his whole life in the ministry and travelling around the world, Dr. Zachariah Koshy along with his wife Remani decided to retire in the quite village of Periyar. Dr. Koshy decided to convert their home into a homestay to provide employment opportunities to the local villagers. The family is associated with the Periyar Eco Tourism Foundation to promote forest bound activities thereby creating income for the Mannan Tribal Guides. The income generated from the homestay is used to fund the Horticulture Society, where the villagers are trained in developing home vegetable gardens and generating income from it. Stay at this homestay will allow guests to understand to learn more about the village, meet people at work, spend time interacting with them and learning about the local culture and traditions.Read more

A memorable stay with a lovely couple Dr Koshy and his wife showed me more of the 'real' India than the previous 2 months I had spent there. The homestay was lovely, the food was delicious and the conversation was fascinating. Thank you

Bucks-Up LS5 Chevelle Resto Gets The Pro Touring Treatment
Stratos Colman appreciates a rare car. Hes sitting on 87 Buick GNX Serial Number 17, and he owns a pair of Mecham-prepped F-bodies: a silver 98 T/A ragtop, and the first 2000 Z29R (as seen in the May 00 issue of Chevy High Performance). He blames your author for his two Mechams (from a story I did back in the Mesozoic era, three and a half years ago). Occasionally hell get a wild hair and bounce an idea for a car off me, which usually feeds the monster of his desire; weve thrown around everything from powertrains to color schemes. He has (more than once) pitched the idea of getting his hands on some prime muscle material, like a 64 GTO or maybe an early second-generation Trans Am, and building a modern high-tech marvel out of it. Nothing wrong with either of those choices, though his slightly alarming default impulse, to start with a restored high-dollar collector car, seems an expensive way to go about it if you're just going to tear everything apart anyway. Would not a LeMans or an Esprit do just as well? Hey, the man wants what he wants. It's his money, after all.
All the while, he was quietly building this Chevelle, and now that its completed and rolling along quite nicely, you can see how it plays to the mans automotive instincts. Stratos treads a fine line hereone that will drive many folks nutty. On the one hand, hes modified an original LS5 A-body. Big-block, Hurst-shifted rock-crusher M22 four-speed, 12-bolt rear its got all the right equipment, and it was all put there by the factory. But one look will tell you that purists will cry heresy and travel en masse to the NJ/NY border for a lynching party. Such an immaculate part of automotive history and its being futzed with? The horror!
On the other hand, its hard to argue with the simple, tasteful mods Stratos has madeall of which enhance driveability, which is the one thing that Stratos cars have in common. Tire technology alone has come a long way in 30 years, and todays big-inch, low-profile rubber rides as well as yesterdays 70-series bias-plys, and corner better to boot. Hotchkis suspension arms all around keep things planted firmly and help the Yokohama rubber extend its prodigious grip. Eibach coils dump things an inch all around, and there are 12-inch discs from a 96 Impala hanging off the B-body spindles. The battery was moved into the trunk to help weight balance and clean up the engine bay as well.
The interior was done with an eye toward cruising comfort: cream-colored leather everywhere, form-fitting seats pirated from an 87 Camaro, Simpson belts, custom door panels and kick panels, a small-diameter Grant wheel, ACC carpet, and a boomin Blaupunkt stereo. Visually, the Mulsanne Blue beauty was left alone, save for the addition of the front air dam (a repro unit meant for a 70 GTO Judge). The engine features some minor cylinder head work and freshened internalsnothing radical.
Through it all, Stratos didnt hack a single weld or put a torch to anything to get these pieces on. If he wanted to, he could make the car into a stocker tomorrow. After a quick spin behind the wheel, though, we cant imagine why hed want to. He says hes just purchased a rough-but-running 64 Pontiac hardtop and that hes going to go overboard. He swears up and down that its a Tempest. Whew.

After Jeremy Lin led the Knicks to a 100-85 win over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, MSG network displayed an image featuring the point guard's face posted above a broken fortune cookie with the words "The Knicks Good Fortune." Some viewers believed the image was an MSG-created graphic, but a network spokesperson told Sporting News it was a fan's sign.
Lin, who is of Taiwanese and Chinese descent, has been the target of disparaging tweets about his heritage since his play thrust him into the public eye. Boxer Floyd Mayweather said Lin is receiving attention on the scale that he has because he is Asian. Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock posted a Tweet that perpetuated a stereotype about Asian men.
Lin is averaging 24.4 points and 9.1 assists in the Knicks' last seven games, all wins. His play has helped New York reach .500 on the season.

Interest Rates:
The June U.S. Treasury bond closed at 147 26/32nds, up 1 and 15/32nds with yields posting the lowest rate in nearly four months. The weaker than expected jobs created report lent credence to our expectation of a slowing economy in the U.S. Once again the figure on Thursday of first time unemployment applications was up 28,000 to 385,000, an indication of "jobs lost" which the media fails to correlate with the "jobs created."
The significance of a weekly jobs lost figure against the monthly jobs created figure is completely overlooked by the media trying, in my opinion, to allay the fears of the investing public. It is not working…
Stock Indices:
The Dow Jones Industrials closed at 14,585.25, down 40,.86 but immediately after the jobs report the Dow sold off 175 points. The S&P 500 closed at 1,553.00 down 7.00 and the tech heavy Nasdaq closed at 3,204, down 21.00. The disappointment at the jobs created data showing 88,000 jobs in March against analyst expectations of 190,000 prompted the sharp negative reaction in equities. Discouraged workers left the workforce in record numbers and prompted the unemployment rate downtick from 7.7% to 7.6% — a number I feel is "meaningless." We continue to expect a sharp correction in the markets with a potential decline of 15%-20% and corresponding trillion dollar value loss. We strongly urge the implementation of hedging strategies for holders of large equity portfolios.
The June U.S. Dollar Index closed at 82.65, down 14.5 points tied to the disappointing U.S. economic data. The sharp rally in treasuries prompted the decline in yields, which detracts from dollar investment. However, even as we believe the U.S. economy is "faltering," relative to the problems we see in Europe and with our other trading partners, the U.S. economy is in better condition. Stay with the dollar. Other currencies gaining included the euro, up 59 points to $1.3003, the Swiss franc 63 points to $1.0714, and the British pound 98 points to $1.5328. Losses were posted for the Japanese yen against the dollar, closing at .10245, down 161, points, the Canadian dollar 46 points to .9821, and the Australian dollar 32 points to $1.0338. The Canadian dollar lost against the U.S. currency after it unexpectedly lost jobs by the most since the last recession four years ago. The Asian currencies fell the most since January as their policy makers proposed measures intended to weaken their exchange rates to improve their export picture. We continue to favor the U.S. dollar.
May crude oil closed at $93.05 per barrel, down 21c tied to the weaker than expected U.S. March employment data showing jobs grew by only 88,000 against expectations for average estimates of 190,000 to 200,000 jobs. Crude oil as well as Heating oil and Gasoline declined since reduced jobs are not conducive to increased demand for energy products. We hold to our bearish expectations with an "eye" to the potential for hostilities from North Korea and the continuing concern over Iranian nuclear ambitions and the possible Israeli attack on those facilities.

Lipscomb volleyball player Claire Peterson writes about visiting other communities around Rio de Janeiro.
By Claire Peterson
Monday started off with a tour of a favela (shanty town) or community. These communities pepper the mountainsides of Rio de Janeiro (largest contains 200,000 people) and they look like different sized boxcars stacked upon each other.
Each one is beautiful in a unique in a broken way. Each is equally dependent on the other for support much like the people living within them.
Cats and dogs, small joyful children, adults, and the elderly all make up the faces of a favela.
A stunning display inside the community is called "Projecto Morrinho." Using bricks, the community created a scaled down version of Rio de Janeiro. A sign in the Morrinho said, "Welcome to My Life." This struck many of us because the people of the community created an alternate reality (The Morrinho) in order to deal with hardships and find pride in their lives.
In the afternoon, we headed to the beach. As we pulled up, we were greeted by cappy barras (think oversized hamsters). The day at the beach was filled with wave jumping, coconut waters, and of course quintessential beach pictures.
While we were leaving the beach, an unforeseen event came about and altered our plans for the rest of the day as well as the rest of our trip.
After processing the day's events, I was reminded of the favelas-each structure unique and dependent upon the next. If one structure were to crumble and collapse, a snowball effect would occur leading to the destruction of everything else around it. This event could have caused our team to crumble, but instead we turned inward, relying on each other, to offer support.
Although our new path was a little different than we planned, new opportunities (sampling an amazing Brazilian breakfast) and unexpected experiences (meeting Vanderbilt's women's soccer team at a street fair) made our experience memorable.
What made our new journey special was the fact that we hung together as one, tight unit, ready and willing to go where God called us.

CLEVELAND — A Cleveland woman puffed on a cigarette, wore headphones, and ignored passers-by and crowds of reporters as she stood for an hour Tuesday under a judge's order holding a sign that said, "Only an idiot would drive on the sidewalk to avoid a school bus."
A Municipal Court judge had ordered 32-year-old Shena Hardin to serve the highly public sentence Tuesday and Wednesday for the Sept. 11 citation after she was caught on camera driving on a sidewalk to pass a Cleveland school bus that was unloading children.
She arrived bundled up against the 34-degree cold at the intersection near downtown Cleveland as passing vehicles honked. Satellite TV trucks streamed the event live.
Hardin refused to comment, as did her mother, who watched from a parked car. A message seeking comment was left for Hardin's attorneys.
Hardin's license was suspended for 30 days and she was ordered to pay $250 in court costs.
Lisa Kelley, whose 9-year-old daughter boards the bus that Hardin had been passing on the sidewalk, said the sentence fit the crime.
"She's an idiot, just like her sign says," Kelley said as she watched Hardin lean against a fence, her head down and her eyes hidden by dark glasses.
"She did this almost every day last year," Kelley said. "She won't stop laughing. She's not remorseful, she laughed at every court appearance. She's still laughing, so she needs to be humiliated like this."
Kelley said she was only sorry the woman was standing in the cold and not the rain or snow.
Bill Lipold, 37, who works nearby in the blue-collar neighborhood of older homes and factories, yelled to Hardin: "Why do you hate kids?" He hopes the punishment works.
"How else are you going to stop her from doing it again?" he said. "She really didn't show remorse for her action after being caught, so you've got to try something."
With two schools located within two blocks of the location and busy commuter traffic, the area can be risky for youngsters walking to class, Lipold said.

TracHoursPlugin - Track hours spent on tickets
Goals of TracHoursPlugin
The goal of this plugin is to help keep track of hours worked on tickets. TracHoursPlugin is an alternative to TimingAndEstimationPlugin, but with a different approach:
- Instead of adding hours only via ticket fields, there is a separate view for managing ticket hours.
/hours/<ticket number>displays the accrued hours for a particular ticket with a timeline-like view, but should also allow adding of new hours (by default, on "today", but this should be changeable via dropdown menus for day, month, year, etc), editing previously entered hours (amount, date, description) and deleting previously alloted hours if you have the appropriate permissions (
TICKET_ADD_HOURSfor your own hours,
TRAC_ADMINfor the hours of others).
- A management and query view is at
/hours. This view displays the hours for all tickets for a given time period (last week, by default) in a way that combines the query interface for querying tickets and the timeline display for hours on the tickets in the time period. Query filters are available to find hours for people, hours for tickets of a certain component, etc.
- Hours are uniquely assigned to tickets and people.
- Hours may have a description, which should be displayed in the applicable views; if a description is provided, the hours and description are logged to ticket comments.
- Tickets have links to
/hours/<ticket number>as the total hours field so that a user can add and view hours for the ticket.
Hour tracking and estimation is most useful when the following questions can be answered:
- How much time has been spent on a project?
- How much time remains in a budget (estimate for a project)?
- How much time have we committed to for the next time period ?
- How much time is a developer committed to over the next time period?
If we put hour estimates on tickets, assign tickets to people, associate tickets with milestones, and give milestones due dates, TracHours can generate reports to answer those questions.
For other Trac time-tracking solutions, see t:TimeTracking.
TracHours consists of a number of components that work together to help track your time:
TracHoursPlugin is the core component of TracHours.
- API function.
- Navigation bar provider.
- Query view for
- Ticket hours view for
/hours/<ticket number>
- Stream filter for checking and rendering of estimated hours and total hours fields for tickets
- RSS feeds at
/hours/<ticket number>?format=rss
This component must be enabled to use any functionality from the TracHoursPlugin
SetupTracHours sets up the database and custom fields for the TracHoursPlugin. You must enable this component for anything to work, including the
TracHoursPlugin component.
TracHoursRoadmapFilter adds hours information for milestones at
/roadmap and
/milestone/<milestone name>
TracHoursSidebarProvider component uses the TicketSidebarProviderPlugin (if enabled) to add a form to each ticket for direct addition of hours to the ticket. Hours will be logged as the authenticated user and comments will not be made.
TracHoursByComment component enables adding hours by ticket comments. Comments containing snippets like
5 hours,
1 hour,
3.7 hours, or
0:30 hours will be added to the total hours for the ticket, if the commenter has the
TICKET_ADD_HOURS permission.
The TracHoursPlugin exports RSS from the
/hours handler. This has been utilized in consumption to provide hours reports across projects sharing the same parent directory. If
trachours.multiproject is enabled, then
/hours/multiproject will become a handler front-ending hours reports throughout the project and a link to this will appear on the
/hours page to
The multiproject report breaks down hours by project and worker giving row and column totals. If there are no hours for a project then that project will not be shown.
How to Use TracHours
The TracHoursHowto offers a guide to the features of the TracHoursPlugin and how to use them.
Installing and Enabling TracHours
TracHoursPlugin requires the following components:
You need to install them before installing TracHoursPlugin. See InstallingaTracPlugin for more information on installing plugins. Additionally, you will require on your server:
- DateUtil, avalaible here or package python-dateutil on Debian based systems.

Now, TracHoursPlugin is enabled like any other trac plugin:
Download the [download:trachoursplugin zipped source], check out using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.
- Download and install the plugin.
- Enable the plugin. Use either the webadmin interface or add the following lines to the
[components] trachours.* = enabled
- You will need to upgrade
trac-admin <env> upgradein order to create the correct database tables.

Featured Article - A Day at a Vet Center: Counseling Vets and Families
A Day at a Vet Center: Counseling Vets and Families
Posted July 29, 2010
A Vet Center is a place where Veterans who served in combat, or experienced trauma/harassment, can come for service. Family members of deceased service members can also receive bereavement counseling at Vet Centers.
There are 232 community based Vet Centers located in all fifty states, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
(Part 3 of 3)
Jamie, a handsome young man from Tennessee, is excited about moving into a new apartment with his new bride.
Jamie is also 100% disabled due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
He is one of the many Veterans Alice Ford counsels on a regular basis to help him deal with his PTSD. She's a Veteran herself - an Army flight operations specialist and radio telephone operator - and when Veterans talk, she listens. Really listens.
Jamie survived an IED blast inches away from his head. Holding up his hand to indicate four-inches, "This much steel saved my life."
Alice helped Jamie tell his story and experiences while at the Vet Center. He credits Alice and the Vet Center with helping him deal with the effects of PTSD and is grateful for the counseling sessions which he says, "She has helped me a whole lot. She makes it possible for me to get along. When I listen to Alice, I want to be a counselor, too. I think I could be a good one."
Alice: "Jamie is making great progress. I am so happy for him and his new wife. And happy that the Vet Center was able to help him to cope with his life."
As Team Leader at the Alexandria Vet Center, Alice is proud that "all of the people here honestly care. We all think this is such a rewarding job."
Nardia Saunders concurs: "Recently, a Veteran told me, 'I never thought this would go away.' That is a great feeling when a client tells you how much you have helped him."
The Vet Centers other important services.
Counseling for Military Sexual Trauma
Alice is certified to counsel Veterans suffering from Military Sexual Trauma (MST), the term the Department of Veterans Affairs uses to refer to sexual assault or repeated, threatening acts of sexual harassment that occurred while a Veteran was serving on active duty or active duty for training. Such counseling is not limited to women only.
Another Vet Center service is bereavement counseling for surviving parents, spouses, children and siblings of service members who die of any cause while on active duty, and includes federally activated Reserve and National Guard personnel.
"I was in a woman's home 14 hours after she was notified her husband had been killed," Alice remembers quietly. It's not easy but it's necessary. And it's so important for the family. We understand, and most of all, we care."
Steven Nettles, another Veteran counselor at the Vet Center — 28 years in the Navy — adds that the most enjoyable part of his job is assisting Veterans to function effectively in society and encouraging them to succeed.
Steven has degrees in psychology which "enable me to have a better understanding of the myriad of personalities I encounter on a daily basis."
While the Vet Centers were originally set up to help returning Vietnam Veterans, they are now able to counsel all combat Veterans from all military conflicts, including World War II, Korea, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, and Kosovo/Bosnia. Most of the Veterans being seen at Vet Centers today are Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and subsequent operations within the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT).
Vet Center locations are listed on the VA website. Check the Vet Centers web site for more information.
Referrals to Vet Center staff are also possible by calling 1-866-650-1030 during normal business hours.

Phalloidin is one of the two main toxins produced by the large, poisonous death cap mushroom (Amanita phalloides). First differentiated from the other primary toxin (amantin) generated by the toadstool in the 1940s, phalloidin is a bicyclic peptide composed of seven amino acids that specifically binds to and stabilizes junctions between subunits of filamentous actin, essentially interfering with the normal actin activity within cells. However, despite the change in F-actin's dynamic properties caused by bonding with phalloidin, the structure of the actin itself is not altered. Thus, fluorescent phalloidin conjugates are well suited for the needs of cell biologists who want to visualize actin filaments for fluorescence microscopy.
The baby hamster kidney (BHK-21) fibroblasts featured in the digital image above were resident in a culture immunofluorescently labeled for microtubules with primary anti-tubulin mouse monoclonal antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse Fab fragments conjugated to the cyanine dye, Cy3. In addition, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor 488 conjugated to phalloidin and DAPI, targeting the filamentous actin network and nuclear DNA, respectively. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

MACON, Ga. (May 5, 2012) – The Atlantic Sun Conference announced the members of its first-ever men's and women's outdoor track and field Academic All-Conference Teams on Friday, with former Science Hill standouts Jasmine Foster (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) being voted to the women's team, and throwers Justin Burton (Bastian, Va.) and Cornell Sneed (Miami, Fla.) landing on the men's team.
The A-Sun's Academic All-Conference Teams are comprised of student-athletes who embody the conference's mission of Building Winners for Life. Each member of the team carries a minimum cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.30 and has competed in at least half of its team's contests.
ETSU's Academic All-Conference selections are the second of the year for each individual, as all four were also named to the A-Sun Indoor Track and Field Academic All-Conference Teams which were chosen at the beginning of March.
Foster carries a 3.598 GPA in physical education, and competed through all five weekends of ETSU meets. Of her 16 events competed in those meets, Foster managed three top five and 11 top 10 finishes. The former Science Hill track and field star also set personal bests in the shot put (13.48m) and javelin throw (20.04m) along the way, with her javelin record beings set during the A-Sun Outdoor Championships. Foster's shot put ranks second in the conference, while her hammer throw ranks ninth and her discus ranks 10th.
Burley's selection branches from her combination of jumping success and 3.883 GPA in exercise science. The sophomore competed through each of ETSU's meet weekends, earning four top five and eight top 10 finishes in a total of nine events competed. Her best performance came at the A-Sun Outdoors, taking the gold in the triple jump by setting a new personal record and elevating her already conference-best mark to 12.31m. During the season, Burley also earned two second-place finishes in the triple jump, and was named A-Sun Field Athlete of the Week on April 11.
Burton boasts a 3.302 GPA in the sport and leisure management program, and had a stellar senior season to help the ETSU men's team to its third A-Sun Outdoor Championship. The Bastian, Va. native didn't miss a single meet weekend, earning a top 10 in 13 of his 16 events competed while taking five top five's in the process. His best finish of the season came during the A-Sun Outdoors, earning the silver in the hammer throw with a season-best mark of 46.02m. Burton also set personal record in the discus (41.80m) during the championships, and ranks among the A-Sun's top 10 in all four throws.
Sneed lugs a 3.752 GPA in criminal justice, and was a unanimous selection to the Academic All-Conference Team. An integral part of ETSU's A-Sun Outdoor title, the senior thrower competed through every weekend, earning eight top five's and 10 top 10's among 13 events. At the A-Sun meet, Sneed medaled in all three of his throws with a bronze in the hammer, a bronze in the discus and a silver in the shot put. He also won the shot put at the Yellow Jacket Invitational with a personal record toss of 16.15m. Among the conference leaders, the Miami native ranks second in the shot put, third in the discus and fourth in the hammer. His hammer (45.10m) and discus (49.37m) throws are each personal bests.
Among the superlatives, Kennesaw State's Christine Leverette and USC Upstate's Gilbert Kemboi were named A-Sun Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
The ETSU men's and women's track and field team finishes up the Bob Pollock Invitational in Clemson, S.C. today, before heading to the Georgia Tech Invitational next Friday and Saturday.

Child visitor restrictions now in place. Learn more.
In this Section: Weather | Learning Environment | Duty Hours | Absent Policy | Sick Policy | Dress Code | Professionalism
Students are asked to make personal safety a priority in terms of coming to their rotations in inclement weather. If a student is not able to arrive safely, he or she should let their coordinators, supervising residents and attendings know. Students should contact coordinators by either email or voicemail. Text pages are best for residents and attendings, but emails are an acceptable back-up.
If a student lives within walking distance or can arrive safely, the team will welcome having the student. If a student is on call and has a call room available and can arrive safely, then the student can come in. There are not accommodations for sleeping (unless on call) or transportation for students. If a student arrives in the morning, he or she may need to leave early if driving conditions become hazardous.
The purpose of this policy is to enhance the learning environment for students in the UNC School of Medicine, residents, fellows, attendings, hospital staff and other trainees. As our institution adapts to a rapidly changing health care environment, we must support an atmosphere in which learning is encouraged and the roles of all participants in the system are respected and valued. Read the full policy (PDF).
Duty Hours Guidelines:
If students exceed these work hour guidelines they should bring that to the attention of the Educational Resources Coordinator in the Dean of Students' office.
Students who become ill or must be absent from their duties for any reason, even for one day, must notify their faculty and house staff preceptors, as well as the Student Coordinator. In the event of extended absences, the student must consult with the Director and Coordinator of the Clerkship, who will inform the Associate Dean for Student Affairs.
A cumulative absence of two days or more from a four-week clerkship or three days or more during an eight-week rotation could result in a grade of incomplete, withdraw, condition or fail unless the absence is approved ahead of time by the Course Director. Personal illness, family emergencies, the Clinical Practice Examination (CPX) and the USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills examination are examples of legitimate reasons for being absent. Weddings, visits to family and friends, and pre-purchased airline tickets are not examples of acceptable reasons for being absent from a rotation.
Students who become ill or must be absent from their duties for any reason, for one day or more, must notify the clerkship and elective program manager in the Office of Student Affairs to obtain an administrative excuse. The clerkship and elective program manager will notify the clerkship coordinator, who will notify the appropriate faculty and house staff. All excused absences are subject to being made up at the discretion of the course/clerkship director. In the event of extended absences the Office of Student Affairs will consult with the clerkship/course director. A cumulative absence of two days or more from a four-week clerkship or three days or more during an six or eight-week rotation could result in a grade of Incomplete, Withdraw, Condition or Fail unless the absence is approved ahead of time by the Office of Student Affairs. Personal medical care including preventive care, personal illness, family emergencies, jury duty, the Clinical Practice Examination (CPX), the USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills or Clinical Knowledge examinations are examples of legitimate reasons for being absent.
Students will adhere to the Atrium Health dress code policy. Scrub suits, masks, shoe covers, and gloves are to be worn only in areas designated by department policy and are not to be worn off the premises. Business casual is the default standard.
The University of North Carolina School of Medicine believes that earning a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree requires mastery of a coherent body of knowledge and skills. A medical student must acquire substantial competence in the principles and facts of all of the curriculum's required basic sciences, must understand and appreciate the principles and practice of all of the basic fields of clinical medicine and must be able to relate appropriately to patients and to other health care professionals. The following technical standards describe the non-academic qualifications that the school considers essential for successful completion of the core competencies of its curriculum.
(a) Introduction. Because the medical profession is governed by ethical principles and by state and federal laws, a medical student must have the capacity to learn and understand these values and laws and to perform within their guidelines. A student should be able to relate to colleagues, staff and patients with honesty, integrity, nondiscrimination, self-sacrifice and dedication. He/she should be able to understand and use the power, special privileges, and trust inherent in the physician-patient relationship for the patient's benefit, and to know and avoid the behaviors that constitute misuse of this power. One should demonstrate the capacity to examine and deliberate effectively about the social and ethical questions that define medicine and physicians' roles and to reason critically about these questions. The student must be able to identify personal reactions and responses, recognize multiple points of view, and integrate these appropriately into clinical decision making.
(b) Attitudinal, Behavioral, Interpersonal, and Emotional Attributes. A medical student must be of sufficient emotional health to utilize fully his or her intellectual ability, to exercise good judgment, to complete patient care responsibilities promptly, and to relate to patients, families, and colleagues with courtesy, compassion, maturity, and respect for their dignity. The ability to participate collaboratively and flexibly as a professional team member is essential. The medical student must display this emotional health in spite of stressful work, changing environments, and clinical uncertainties. The medical student must be able to modify behavior in response to constructive criticism. Each student must be open to examining personal attitudes, perceptions, and stereotypes, which may negatively affect patient care and professional relationships. An individual with a diagnosed psychiatric disorder may function as a medical student as long as the condition is under sufficient control to allow accomplishment of the above goals with or without reasonable accommodation. The student must exhibit behavior and intellectual functioning that does not differ from acceptable standards. In the event of deteriorating emotional function, it is essential that a medical student be willing to acknowledge the disability and accept professional help before the condition poses danger to self, patients, or colleagues.
(c) Stamina. The study and ongoing practice of medicine often involves taxing workloads and stressful situations. A medical student must have the physical and emotional stamina to maintain a high level of function in the face of these likely working conditions.
(d) Intellectual Skills. A medical student must possess a range of intellectual skills that allows him or her to master the broad and complex body of knowledge that constitutes a medical education. The student's learning style must be effective and efficient. The ultimate goal will be to solve difficult problems and to make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. A medical student must be able to memorize, perform scientific measurement and calculation, and understand and cognitively manipulate three dimensional models. Reasoning abilities must be sophisticated enough to analyze and synthesize information from a wide variety of sources. It is expected that a medical student be able to learn effectively through a variety of modalities including, but not limited to, classroom instruction, small group discussion, individual study of materials, preparation and presentation of written and oral reports, and use of computer based technology.
(e) Communication Skills. A medical student must be able to ask questions, to receive answers perceptively, to record information about patients and to educate patients. The student must be able to communicate effectively and efficiently with patients, their families, and with other members of the health care team. This must include spoken communication, and non-verbal communication such as interpretation of facial expression, affect, and body language. Mastery of both written and spoken English is required.
(f) Visual, Auditory, Tactile and Motor Competencies. A medical student must possess sufficient visual, auditory, tactile and motor abilities to allow him/her to gather data from written reference material, from oral presentations, by observing demonstrations and experiments, by studying various types of medical illustrations, by observing a patient and his/her environment, by observing clinical procedures performed by others, by reading digital or analog representations of physiologic phenomena, and by performing a basic physical examination of a patient.

Johannes Stark, (born April 15, 1874, Schickenhof, Ger.—died June 21, 1957, Traunstein, W. Ger.), German physicist who won the 1919 Nobel Prize for Physics for his discovery in 1913 that an electric field would cause splitting of the lines in the spectrum of light emitted by a luminous substance; the phenomenon is called the Stark effect.
Stark became a lecturer at the University of Göttingen in 1900, and from 1917 until he retired in 1922, he was a professor of physics at the University of Greifswald and, later, at the University of Würzburg. A supporter of Adolf Hitler and an anti-Semitic racial theorist, Stark was president of the Reich Physical-Technical Institute from 1933 to 1939. In 1947 a denazification court sentenced him to four years in a labour camp.

Mint cupcakes, just in time for St. Patricks Day. I figured since I devoted the month of February to chocolate, why not devote March to green. That leaves it to Mint and avocado in my opinion. The only green food that looks appetizing is mint and there is only so much you can do with mint that is not redundant and that is mostly in dessert format and well, avocado, a lot more variety, just not as much for breakfast, but I will try to sneak in both.
This one is so darn pretty though that I couldn't wait to share it with you. Now, I think box devils food cake is great, so if you are short on time, do the box. If you like to put in a little extra effort, use this recipe. I have tried many but really like this one and if you don't care for mint, try a chocolate buttercream with these little darlings. Scrumptious too.
Kahlua Mint Cupcakes – Makes 24 regular cupcakes
2 C sugar, 2 C flour, 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda, dash of salt, 3/4 C hot chocolate powder, 2 sticks butter, 3/4 C Kahlua, 2 eggs, 2/3 C sour cream, and 1 TB vanilla
Mint Filling– 1/2 C chocolate chips, 4 TB heavy cream, 2 Tsp. mint extract. and 1/2 C powdered sugar.
Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream together in the microwave. Stir in mint extract and then powdered sugar. Fill insides of cupcake with filling.
Mint Buttercream – 8 oz. cream cheese, 6 TB butter (softened), 4+ Cups powdered sugar, 1 TB heavy cream, 1 tsp. mint extract and green food coloring.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a regular size muffin tin with cupcake liners and fill about 2/3 full of batter.
In a large bowl whisk together sugar, flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a saucepan, melt butter. Stir in Kahlua and simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in hot chocolate until smooth. Let cool slightly. Once cool, beat in eggs and sour cream. Pour into muffin liners and bake for about 15 minutes. Let cupcakes cool completely.
Once cupcakes are cooled, scoop out the middle with a baby spoon and fill with mint filling.
For buttercream, beat cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, heavy cream and mint extract. Add a couple drops of green food coloring and stir. Pipe butter cream over cupcakes. Drizzle with any mint filling you had left and top with and Andes mint.
