Animals Like You - Reverse
The only difference between us and the animals is our opposable thumbs. And the fact that you won't find any animals wandering around the Masai Mara signing 'I bless the rains down in Africa, gonna take some time to do the things we never ha-a-aa-aaaave.'
(Was Masai Mara & Mountain Gorillas Reverse)
Day 1 - Kigali
What's the difference between Kigali and the city you live in? Probably a hell of a lot, so spend some time getting to know this place.
- A pre-departure meeting will take place at approximately 6pm
- You may choose to eat at the hotel restaurant this evening or venture out to one of the nearby restaurants (own expense)
- It is vital to re confirm any flights in to Rwanda. These schedules change regularly and often by more than a few hours. These must be checked to save any problems with your arrival.
Day 2 - Ruhengeri
(Approximate driving time: 2 hours)
You'll feel shocked, angry and sad during your time at the genocide memorial but it will put your time in Africa into perspective. It's a sombre note to start the trip on, but will make sure Africa stays firmly in your heart when your backpack is gathering dust under your bed.
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
- Take in the Genocide Memorial, opened in 2004 to mark the tenth anniversary of the Rwandan Genocide
- Travel to the campsite and catch glimpses of the endless mountain ranges
- Camp on the outskirts of Ruhengeri
Day 3 - Parc National des Volcans (Gorilla Trek) - Kisoro
(Approximate driving time: 5 hours)
The trek can be tough (between 1-4 hours) but once you spot your first gorilla it will seem like a distant memory. Don't forget tissues if you're the emotional sort, and be sure to grab one of the free walking sticks at the start of the trek.
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
- Check in at the headquarters of the Parc National des Volcans for the gorilla trek
- Take a brief safety talk and set off with our guide in search of the magnificent apes
- Get within metres of a gorilla family we are tracking and spend an hour observing them
- Cross the border from Rwanda to Uganda
- Get an insight into rural Ugandan life and be greeted by waving children along the way
Day 4-5 - Queen Elizabeth National Park
(Approximate driving time: 6 hours; game drive times variable)
You'll find a few big name animals here including elephants, Ugandan kobs and maybe lions, but the boat ride on Kazinga Channel is the real winner.
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
- Journey on to Queen Elizabeth National Park
- Embark on an afternoon game drive in search of some of the 100 different types of mammals and over 600 different species of birds
- Spend two nights camped in the Mweya area, located on the edge of the Kazinga Channel
- Spend a morning game driving
- Take a boat trip on the Kazinga Channel - a highlight for birdwatchers (and hippopotamus watchers)
Day 6 - Uganda Wildlife Education Centre - Entebbe
(Approximate driving time: 8 hours)
It started out as an animal orphanage in 1952, then it was a regular zoo and now it's a place where you can go to learn about animals - the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre awesome.
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
- Optional boat excursion to Ngamba Island on Lake Victoria
- Visit a chimpanzee sanctuary - home to 39 orphaned chimpanzees
Day 7-8 - Jinja
(Approximate driving time: 3 hours)
Our camp on the Nile River is a Geckos favourite, thanks to a bar overlooking the water. Don't be alarmed when you hear screams, they're probably just coming from the bungee jumping tower 100m down the river.
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
- Spend two nights camped on the banks of the river Nile
- Camp near raging rapids, forested islands and an abundance of bird life
- Optional activities abound, including whitewater rafting, kayaking, horse riding and quad biking.
Day 9 - Kericho
(Approximate driving time: 8 hours)
Back in the truck we head to Kericho, home to some of the world's best tea. Wherever you go, a fresh cuppa is never far away. Pinkies out!
Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner

- Camp in the midst of a tea plantation
Day 10-11 - Kericho - East Africa Mission Orphanage (EAMO) - Lake Nakuru National Park
This is the best place to see rhinos, but there are also baboons and flamingos everywhere. Head to EAMO for a soccer match with the kids. NB: you don't stand a chance - even Messi would struggle to get one past these guys.
Day 10 (Approximate driving time: 2 hours)
- Head to the East Africa Mission Orphanage and camp on its grounds
- Meet the children and share dinner with them at the orphanage
- Answer the children's questions about the wider world over dinner

- View flamingos on the lake, which sometimes resembles a moving carpet of pink feathers
Day 12 - East Africa Mission Orphanage - Lake Naivasha
(Approximate driving time: 2 hours)

Breakfast | Lunch | Dinner
- Enjoy spending time with the children in their classrooms
- Head to the freshwater Lake Naivasha and set up camp on the banks of the lake
- Why not take a cycling tour into Hell's Gate National Park - a safari on two wheels
- Optional nature walk in Crescent Island Sanctuary

I was a guest on Jeff Berwick's Anarchast (ep. 51, 36 min), released today. We discussed anarchy and how such a society might be reached; the basis and origin of law and property rights and its relationship to libertarian principles, and implications for legislation versus law and the legitimacy of intellectual property; also, utilitarianism, legal positivism, scientism, and logical positivism. Description from the Anarchist site below; MP3 download. For more background on IP, see the C4SIF Resources page; on legislation vs. private law, see The (State's) Corruption of (Private) Law.
Anarchast Ep. 51 with Stephan Kinsella
Jeff Berwick in Acapulco, Mexico, talks with Stephan Kinsella in Houston, Texas
Topics include:
- Stephan explains how he became an anarchist and some of the books that pointed him in the right direction including
- The Fountainhead (http://amzn.to/VnZwSL)
- Stephan is a practicing attorney that applies his legal knowledge with his libertarian philosophy
- He believes a free law society will only come about if a majority of people agree in libertarian principles
- Law is defined as a concrete body of rules that permits a group of people that want to be able to cooperate to be able to do so
- Jeff asks if it is necessary for everyone to agree with libertarian philosophy in order to have a free society
- Stephan thinks that a majority of people already have libertarian principles but have not been educated correctly in constancy
- He is more optimistic that most because he sees more people not accepting central planning than in the past
- Jeff thinks that there could be a backlash against free market ideas during a financial collapse where the people believe capitalism is to blame
- Stephan hopes that people will slowly find the state to be irrelevant and this will bring about a free society
- Jeff thinks that there will be a financial collapse that will make this transition unpredictable
- Stephan is an expert in libertarian Intellectual Property theory
- He explains the principles of property law
- What most people think is law today is not what law would be based on in a libertarian society
- Stephan explains the problem with legal and economic positivism
- The proper libertarian view is to be opposed to making law through legislation
- The problem with intellectual property is that you are able to use the force of the government against someone who has not aggressed against you
- Stephan explains the problems with the utilitarian Intellectual property justification
- The intellectual property system forces everyone to participate even if they don't agree with it
Stephan is doing astounding work in libertarian legal theory you can find more in formation on his sites

Two Picks from Cramer's Nov. 20 Lightining Round.
Dr. Osman is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Do-it-yourself investors can get some useful investing ideas just by watching CNBC's Mad Money. Jim Cramer, the host and former hedge fund manager, has one goal: to help stock traders make some "mad money." He presents market insights and suggests investing opportunities in a unique style. During the "Lightning Round" he reviews several stocks picked by the viewers. While it only takes him a few seconds to make a call, we should take some time digging deeper into his rates. After all, as he says, we should never invest without doing our homework. Here, I review two stocks discussed on the Nov. 20 Lightning Round.
When a viewer mention Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), Cramer immediately pushed a button and a bull appeared on the screen. Cramer clearly likes this stock, and I think he is probably right. When it comes to enterprise-class networking equipment, Cisco is the "go-to" provider. It holds a diverse product portfolio, including switches, routers, and access equipment for high quality data communication. The firm has also set foot in new markets, such as data center servers and video conferencing.
Even though 2011 was a challenging year characterized by restructuring efforts and aggressive competition, Cisco managed to improve its operating results. For the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, Cisco reported EPS of $0.48, up by 18% on a year-to-date basis, and revenue of $11.9 billion. Over the same period, sales increased by 6%.
I strongly believe that in the tech world innovation is the key to success. Cisco supports this notion by implementing a growth strategy that is guided by market transitions. In order to stay ahead of its peers and keep meeting market demands, Cisco is always seeking lucrative investments. Demand for network visualization capabilities is the main driver of the company's latest investment. Recently, Cisco announced its intend to acquire Meraki, Inc.
San Francisco-based Meraki serves as a leading wireless equipment vendor, which focuses on the SMB customer. Meraki offers cloud-based management access solutions to 18,000 mid-sized corporate customers. Cisco could parlay the Meraki deal into an effort to expand its cloud computing offerings to a broader customer base. At the same time, Meraki's expertise with Wi-Fi network and enterprise security could provide Cisco with a significant competitive advantage over its peers.
The company's major peer in the enterprise Wi-Fi market is Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN). Aruba is also targeting the midmarket through its Aruba Instant product line. With the Meraki deal, Cisco can battle Aruba on two fronts. Who is going to be the winner? The addition of Meraki's solutions differentiated by cloud-based management software, which lowers administrative costs, is certainly a game changer. Aruba's life is about to get tougher.
Over the last six months, Cisco has seen its stock return about 10%. At the moment, the stock is trading about 12% below its 52-week range of $20.97 with relatively desirable valuations. ROE figures stand much higher than the industry's same variable, making Cisco a comparably attractive investment. Based on analysts' average mean target price it has at least 17% upside potential.
Next on the list is Intel (NASDAQ: INTC). With a market cap of over $95, Intel is the most valuable chipmaker worldwide. Founded in 1968, the company develops and manufactures microprocessors and platform solutions for PCs. Cramer was bearish on this one, and I can understand why.
Intel is swimming in turbulent waters. Slow economic growth in China and declining demand in Europe and the U.S. have severely impacted global PC shipments. For the third quarter of 2012, Intel's PC Client Group revenue dropped by 8% year-over-year. As a result, the leading chipmaker is slowing down its production. Intel has failed to adjust to the market transition and has been slow to expand to the fast-growing mobile industry. The company is struggling with strong competition within the industry and seems to be losing the battle.
ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH) is leading the way in the smartphone business arena. It serves as a key technology component of popular devices, such as Apple's iPhone. In addition, ARM anticipates double digit market share for traditional and tablet computers in 2013. For PCs alone, Intel's rival expects to achieve market penetration of over 10% by 2015. Moreover, Intel is at the beginning of a six-month leadership transition. After serving the company for nearly forty years, CEO Paul Otellini is retiring earlier than expected. This certainly puts additional pressure at a time most crucial for the company.
Intel's year-to-date stock chart is the definition of a falling knife. Since the beginning of the year, the stock lost over 20% of its value. The latest closing price was about 22% below the SMA200 and about 11% below the SMA50. Over the past ten years, Intel has rewarded its shareholders with substantially growing dividends. However, I think that its short-term growth prospects are limited. Now might not be the right moment to place a bet on this stock.

2008-09: 36-35-11 (12th in the West – Out of Playoffs) Pre-season TSN.ca Power Ranking: 21General Manager: Joe Nieuwendyk (1st Season) Head Coach: Marc Crawford (1st Season)
What They Did in the off-season:
The Stars made their biggest moves of the off-season in the front office as former player Joe Nieuwendyk took over the general manager's duties from Les Jackson. One of Nieuwendyk's first moves was hiring Marc Crawford as head coach.
Defensive responsibility was added in the form of Karlis Skrastins and Jeff Woywitka, while Warren Peters will add some toughness. Jere Lehtinen re-upped for one more season, Alex Auld was acquired for a sixth-round pick to back up Marty Turco in net, while Steve Begin, Darryl Sydor, Mark Parrish and Brendan Morrison were allowed to walk away via free agency. Veteran Stu Barnes called an end to a 16 year career while long time Star Sergei Zubov returned to Russia to join the KHL.
Biggest Issue facing the team:
Unlike last season, expectations are very low for the Stars coming into the 2009-10 campaign. Following a trip to the Conference finals two years ago, many considered Dallas a Stanley Cup sleeper heading into last year. Injuries to Zubov and Brenden Morrow, combined with the worst stretch of hockey in Marty Turco's professional career, doomed the Stars right out of the gate. By the time Sean Avery decided to shoot his mouth off in Calgary, the damage was already done. The team had dug themselves into such a hole that it would have been impossible to emerge, even if everyone was healthy. Head coach Dave Tippett was the fall guy and was fired following the club's most disappointing season since arriving in the Lone Star State in 1993.
On the positive side, the team will not have some of the same distractions that they did last season. Avery is long-gone, while former co-general manager Brett Hull has been re-assigned by the organization into a role more suited for his talents. A new coach and general manager have given the team a refreshed sense of optimism. Team captain Brenden Morrow is healthy once again and will provide leadership, toughness and scoring that the team sorely lacked in his absence last season. The team also hopes that Turco can shake off last year's struggles to return to the elite level where he has spent so much of his career.
Players such as Loui Eriksson, Steve Ott, James Neal and Matt Niskanen took big steps forward last season, as they took advantage of the extra ice-time given to them thanks to injuries. If Fabian Brunnstrom can follow their lead, the team may be capable of something special and have the opportunity to sneak up on a lot of teams in the wide open West.
Player to watch:
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Just a few short years ago, Brad Richards was a playoff hero, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy en route to securing the Tampa Bay Lightning with the first Stanley Cup in franchise history.
That was then, this is now.
Richards suffered through the worst offensive season of his career last year, posting career lows in goals with just 16 and points with 48. Injuries to both hands cost him 25 games and never allowed him to truly get on track or build chemistry with his linemates. He looked like a shell of the player that many felt was the second coming of Joe Sakic just a few years ago.
Although he wouldn't likely admit it, not even being invited to team Canada's Olympic orientation camp had to be a blow to a player who had been a virtual lock on the national team in the past. Richards should have the motivation for a big season and will be given the ice-time to match on one of the top-two scoring lines for the Stars. It would be premature to completely write off a player of his obvious skills who is still smack dab in the middle of his prime. He is far too talented to labour through another lackluster season.
In addition this could well be the final season for the face of the franchise Mike Modano. While his offensive numbers are way down from the elite level they once were, the lifetime Star/North Star still has a great deal to contribute from a leadership standpoint as the team transitions from one era to the next. He has earned every single accolade that has been awarded to him and has the right to leave the game on his own terms. Should the Stars be able to reach the playoffs, and perhaps win a round, it would be a suitable send off to what has been a Hall of Fame career.
Scott Cullen's Fantasy Take:
Coming off a season in which they finished with their lowest point total since 1995-1996, the Dallas Stars overhauled their front office, but the changes on the ice weren't quite so dramatic.
Looking ahead to the 2009-2010 season, the biggest impact on the ice for the Stars should come from the return of captain Brenden Morrow, who played just 18 games before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Presumably healthy now, Morrow has tallied 89 points and 154 penalty minutes in 100 games over the last two seasons, showing nice chemistry with playmaking centre Mike Ribeiro in the process.

Many of our courses also have synchronous, virtual classroom sessions in which you will interact with your instructor and classmates in real time. A computer headset with attached microphone is the best way to do this. Even the most inexpensive set will be sufficient and you can get them at almost any electronics store or electronics department or online retailer.

- A survey of historic models and theories of worship
Seminar 2: Contextualization and Practical Applications for Worship
This seminar will help to foster the understanding that there are a wide variety of contemporary cultural expressions of worship.

Topics will include:
- A historical analysis of how Christian worship, from its beginnings in first-century Jerusalem to its present practice around the world, has always been dependent on actions as well as words
- Biblical, historical, and contemporary descriptions of the acts of baptism, breaking of bread, washing of feet, anointing with oil, and laying on of hands

VIDEO [NSFW]: Russell Simmons apologizes for controversial 'Harriet Tubman sex tape'
WARNING: This video depicts sexual activity and includes profanity viewers may find offensive.
A controversial comedy skit of abolitionist Harriet Tubman having sex with her "massa," which appeared on Russell Simmons' All Def Digital YouTube channel, is popping up all over the Internet — and most people aren't happy about it.
Simmons issued an apology for the video this morning, as reported by USA Today: "I'm a very liberal person with thick skin," wrote Simmons. "My first impression of the Harriet Tubman piece was that it was about what one of actors said in the video, that 162 years later, there's still tremendous injustice. And with Harriet Tubman outwitting the slave master? I thought it was politically correct. Silly me. I can now understand why so many people are upset. I have taken down the video. Lastly, I would never condone violence against women in any form, and for all of those I offended, I am sincerely sorry."
While Simmons has pulled the skit from his YouTube channel, as is usually the case these days, it had already been copied and shared across the interwebs.

For Wherever Life Takes You

and mobile websites.
As the birthplace of a number of iconic bands -- Gerry & the Pacemakers, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and, oh yeah, The Beatles -- Liverpool has long been recognized as one of the world's top musical incubators. However, its status as a port city has also fashioned Liverpool into a diverse destination, imbuing the city with a host of intriguing cultural, artistic and dining options. Stay at one of our distinctive boutique hotels in Liverpool and you'll be ideally placed to explore all this vibrant city has to offer.
In terms of British cities, Liverpool didn't become a major player until the 19th century, when transatlantic trade became a main economic driver. Not surprisingly given its role as a crossroads for innovations and ideas as well as goods, the city has given rise to a number of important firsts, and even pioneered the world's first skyscraper. Explore this fascinating history and more at the World Museum Liverpool, the Merseyside Maritime Museum, and the International Slavery Museum. Or, for a review of more contemporary pop culture history, a tour of the Beatles Story or a modern art or dance performance at the Bluecoat are just the place to head.
While you're on your art kick, the Victoria Gallery and Museum, Sudley House, the Static Gallery, the Tate Liverpool and the Wolstenhome Creative Space are sure to satisfy, boasting fine collections of historical, folk and contemporary art. Alternatively, taking a stroll past the Royal Liver Building, St. George's Hall, the Liverpool Cathedral, Princes Road Synagogue will provide an excellent look at the city's varied architectural history, from Greco-Roman facades to Gothic and Moorish building styles.
Fans of Downton Abbey will enjoy getting their outdoor fix at Croxteth Hall and Country Park, a once vast estate with ample grounds and historical buildings to explore. And of course, for sports aficionados, catching an Everton or Liverpool football (soccer) game is a must, as they are two of the most respected, popular and storied teams in the sport today.
While in town, you won't want to miss the opportunity sneak in a little retail therapy. Situated in the heart of London, the Metquarter provides all of the high end brands you could wish for, while the Bluecoat will provide a little more quirk for your retail adventures. The relatively new Liverpool One is also not to be missed, with three levels of shopping and entertainment.
As the lights go down, choose from diverse cuisine offerings in the particularly bopping City Centre, Lark Lane and Seel Street areas. Pizza, noodle spots, and eclectic Asian offerings all abound, as do a surplus of classic pubs serving fish and chips. Once you've dined, choose from theaters, comedy venues, and music clubs for a lively evening. The Liverpool Empire Theatre and Philharmonic Orchestra Hall are always bound to have something good on, but you're much more likely to discover the next John Lennon in a tucked away club.
Liverpool is well connected to the rest of the UK via boat, train, bus and air. Guarantee a friendly greeting once you debark by booking into a boutique hotel in Liverpool. With world class amenities, well-appointed rooms and a staff that aims to please, you'll have the trip of a lifetime when you book today.

"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"These "thank you" cards are just beautiful. The quality of the paper and print is simply great, it gives a really good feeling of care. We have received a lot of compliments from friends and family who received the cards. Will definitely use tinyprints again."
"I think this card fit exactly what I wanted. Nothing to flashy, but perfect to express our thanks to our family and friends for celebrating with us. Love the idea of it!"
"Overall I am happy with this card. I was happy to be able to customize it- I wanted to make more generalized cards that I could send out- not just thank you cards so I asked the designer in the live chat. I was able to change the wording on the card as well as the colors. The design turned out perfect. I wish the print quality of my picture was better- it doesn't list anywhere that the picture needed to be a certain resolution size or pixel."
"This thank you card was perfect for my little one's baptism thank you cards and matched closely to the baptism invitations I had purchased here as well. I loved that I was able to add her photo to it and name adding such a nice personal touch to it. The quality of the paper is so nice. All of the card products I have purchased from tinyprints have been such quality products."

In this paper, we study the problem of anomaly detection in wireless network streams. We have developed a new technique, called Stream Projected Outlier deTector (SPOT), to deal with the problem of anomaly detection from multi-dimensional or high-dimensional data streams. We conduct a detailed case study of SPOT in this paper by deploying it for anomaly detection from a real-life wireless network data stream. Since this wireless network data stream is unlabeled, a validating method is thus proposed to generate the ground-truth results in this case study for performance evaluation. Extensive experiments are conducted and the results demonstrate that SPOT is effective in detecting anomalies from wireless network data streams and outperforms existing anomaly detection methods.

More details in Application section.
What will I learn?
This MSc provides a critical review of mega infrastructure planning and appraisal methods and international practice and assesses how 'fit for purpose' these are for current sustainable development challenges. The programme focuses on generic lessons and principles that apply across the different sectors, while also covering the sectoral and context-specific considerations that determine success in different development contexts.
Why should I study this degree at UCL?
Prepared by the OMEGA Centre and its teaching and research team at the Bartlett School of Planning, this programme is delivered in association with the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering together with internationally renowned academics and practioners in the field of mega infrastructure development.
The programme is inter-disciplinary and international, drawing from experiences both in the developed and developing world. It seeks to provide students with insights, knowledge and skills that will assist them to plan, appraise and deliver future mega infrastructure developments in a manner that is sensitive to the risks, uncertainties and complexities of different contexts.
Students undertake modules to the value of 180 credits. The programme consists of seven core modules (105 credits), one option (15 credits), dissertation (60 credits) and a field trip (not credit bearing).
A Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits, full-time nine months and part-time 2-5 years) is offered.
Core Modules
All MSc students undertake a supervised independent research project which culminates in a substantial dissertation.
Teaching and Learning
The programme is delivered through a combination of traditional lectures, tutorials and seminars, a field trip, individual and group project work, and skills-based practical project work, with direct practitioner involvement. Student performance is assessed through individual and group work, essays, exams and project work.
Further details available on subject website:
The programme lends itself to sponsorship from employers in public and private and organisations active in planning and property development.
Scholarships available for this department
Brown Family Bursary
This award is based on financial need.
Bartlett School of Planning Centenary Scholarship

Further information about funding and scholarships can be found on the Scholarships and funding website.
Entry requirements
The normal minimum qualifications are a good second-class Bachelor's degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of equivalent standing. There is no particular subject requirement as the MSc provides an 'initial' planning education for graduates with cognate or non-cognate degrees. Where candidates fail to meet the standard requirement (i.e. they hold a degree of a lower classification), the department will take into account professional experience in planning or a related field when deciding whether to admit a candidate. Applicants who do not hold a first degree may, in exceptional cases, be admitted to the programme if they are able to demonstrate considerable senior-level professional experience in planning or a related field. A high level of competence in both spoken and written English is also required. Overseas students whose first language is not English will be asked to provide evidence of competence in English. A minimum overall score of 6.5 for IELTS or 580 in TOEFL is required.
International equivalencies
Select your country for equivalent alternative requirements
English language proficiency level: Standard
How to apply
The deadline for UK/EU applications is 1 August 2014. International students who require a Tier 4 visa are strongly advised to submit their application before 15 June 2014. The deadline for flexible/modular study is 5 September 2014.
Who can apply?
The programme is suitable for graduates from civil engineering, planning, policy studies, project management, estate management, architecture, pertinent social sciences and other relevant fields. It provides enhanced capacity building opportunities for those currently working in mega infrastructure development and offers an invaluable grounded qualification for new entrants into the field.
What are we looking for?
When we assess your application we would like to learn:
- why you want to study Mega Infrastructure Planning, Appraisal and Delivery at graduate level
- why you want to study Mega Infrastructure Planning, Appraisal and Delivery at UCL
- what particularly attracts you to the chosen programme
- how your academic and professional background meets the demands of this challenging programme
- where you would like to go professionally with your degree
Graduate students from the Bartlett have been very successful in gaining subsequent employment nationally and internationally. At present there is a growing demand for our Masters' graduates from a wide range of both public and private employers. The sources of employment in the field of mega infrastructure development are diverse; they lie particularly in central and regional government; specialist and multi-disciplinary consultancy firms; international development organisations and banks; public and private utility companies; research and academic institutions involved in the transport, energy, retailing and housing sectors, as well as in urban and region planning, urban regeneration and environmental planning.

A story and memorial from the Mayor of Galle on the 8th anniversary of the tsunami.
Mayra and I were in the home stretch of our 2-week research trip, hoping to get a government official to tell us how Galle, the 4th largest city in Sri Lanka, has recovered. We were lucky to get an evening interview with the Mayor.
We only got to one question: "What was your experience the day of the tsunami?"
The Mayor — a politician in front of a camera… — proceeded to hold forth for over 60 minutes. In the political opposition at the time, he shared how he conveyed his family to safety and, without telling them, returned to Sambodhi House, an orphanage for the disabled. He was greeted by "dead bodies everywhere" -– 48 of 62 residents died -– and he delivered children to the morgue in a fire truck. Unlike other local politicians, he helped out througout the day. People said he saved lives. We got the full replay, and I was rebuked at one point for trying to hurry him along.
And then he started to cry.
To weep, recalling how the children had called him "father," for his role as Board Secretary. Such grief, and also guilt, it turns out, almost 8 years later.
As the new Secretary, he had asked a priest to spend holy days discussing the Buddhist precepts with the children. Just the second such sermon was on December 26. The children were assembled on the front porch when the tidal wave raged ashore.
He feels impossibly responsible. And then, with terrible wonder, our last hour made sense.
Of course he had to tell this story in full; had to relive each moment, in his own time, in his own way.
It's not a surprise that it surfaced for a foreign camera crew with a question that may never have been asked. Had he shared his pain with anyone else? Was he even aware of it?
On the 8th anniversary we thank the Mayor of Galle and Sambodhi House.
We recall lessons in humility and respect when listening to others.
We remember lives lost, and emotional scars that remain harsh, if submerged.
We remind ourselves to value every day.
And we ask everyone to care again for a disaster-hit community dear to you, get involved, and give again.
-Mike & Mayra

New NVidia Drivers Increase Linux Gaming Performance
NVidia announces the new NVidia GeForce R310 drivers, which, the company says, will dramatically improve performance and reduce game loading times for gamers using Linux.
The new GeForce R310 drivers, which were jointly developed by NVidia, Valve, and others, are "designed to give GeForce customers the best possible Linux-based PC gaming experience – and showcase the enormous potential of the world's biggest open-source operating system," the press release said.
"With this release, NVIDIA has managed to increase the overall gaming performance under Linux," said Doug Lombardi, vice president of marketing at Valve. "NVIDIA took an unquestioned leadership position developing R310 drivers with us and other studios to provide an absolutely unequalled solution for Linux gamers."
The R310 drivers support the newest energy-efficient GeForce GTX 600 series GPUs, and the announcement encourages gamers with previous generation GeForce GPUs, including the 8800 GT and above, to download these new drivers as well. The new drivers, which were thoroughly tested with Steam for Linux, are available for download at http://www.geforce.com, and the Steam for Linux client is now available for limited beta access. See http://store.steampowered.com/news/?feed=steam_press for more information on Steam for Linux.

The days of the150-lb, 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary are numbered. This week, Oxford University Press announced it's just too expensive to print.
The next complete edition of the dictionary, dubbed OED3, will only be available online. The dictionary was first published in 1928, after 71 years of exhaustive research on all the conceivable words in the English language, including Scrabble-lovers "zyxt." An online edition of the OED has been around since the 1980s.

What will we do with all this "white space"?
There's a vote coming up this week in Washington that will have a big impact on how you use the internet, what's available to you, how much faster you'll be able to get things online. On Thursday, the FCC is expected to open up unused parts of the broadcast spectrum, a lot of people call it "white space". This is space that was positioned to be something of a buffer between television stations but such padding is proving less essential since the conversion to digital TV.
On today's show, we talk to Glenn Fleishman from Wi-Fi Networking News and The Economist about how the spectrum works and what kind of new space we're talking about. We also check in with Tim Wu from Columbia Law School about the companies that will look to use the space and what it all might mean for you and me as internet consumers.

The Johns Hopkins Lifeline Transportation Program is a comprehensive transport program that facilitates any type of transportation necessary. We have over 16 years of experience within the Critical Care Transport Arena. This hospital based program was one of the first of its kind in this region. The system is designed to provide advanced life support and critical care services for patients who are being referred to The Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions from another institution.
Watch Lifeline Video
|> more news and events
In an effort to expedite and streamline patient flow into and throughout the Johns Hopkins Medical System, an integrated delivery system was developed to meet the demands for all types of transportation. Contractual agreements, which support the various types of transportation (ground, rotor wing and fixed wing) demands have been instrumental to the success of the program.
Lifeline also operates an In-house transport program that is capable of moving an ICU patient to a needed advanced procedure within the institution. This movement allows for the ICU level of care to remain in place while the patient is moved to the procedure area and then back to their room. The patient is taken by our staff consisting of a Critical Care Registered Nurse, Critical Care Paramedic and Transport Team EMT's who are specially trained to assist in the transport environment.

He tries. He really does. We all do. It's become an entire family effort to maintain Edgar's bilingual skills. Even more so to ensure he is fluent in Spanish. Inevitably, as much as we try to avoid it, we always end up talking to him in English instead of Spanish. It's not that we don't feel comfortable speaking in only español, pero cómo que the words come out easier in English.
When he was younger, I think we were better at it. He was a lot more tolerant of our "speak Spanish!" commands anyway. Nowadays, nos sigue la corriente… but he has also made it perfectly clear English is the language he feels more comfortable in.
"Why do we have to speak in Spanish if we all speak English too?!", he once asked us. To which all we could reply was ¡en español! as we tried our best not to crack up at his pretty smart aleck complaint. Read More

For an end of game Tigers score update, text SCORES to 80373.
SAN FRANCISCO (1660 THE FAN) - After playing so hard to get to the World Series, the Tigers aren't doing well thus far, losing 2-0 to the Giants tonight. San Francisco is now 2-0 in the series, but the teams head over to Comerica Park for game 3, which might put the Tigers a little more at ease. Detroit has now been shut out twice in the postseason which matches their shutout games during the entire season.
Starter Doug Fister didn't play poorly by any means, striking out three and allowing only one run before he was relieved by Drew Smyly (and all this after taking a line drive off the head,) but Giants starter Madison Bumgarner was on fire, striking out 8 in his 7 innings.
Hopefully a day off and the homefield advantage is what the Tigers need. Catch game three on AM 590 WKZO Saturday at 7 pm.
