The Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line (東京地下鉄日比谷線 Tōkyō Chikatetsu Hibiya-sen?) is a subway line in Tokyo, Japan, owned and operated by Tokyo Metro. The line was named after the district of Hibiya, under which it passes.
The Hibiya Line runs between Naka-Meguro in Meguro and Kita-Senju in Adachi. The line's path is somewhat similar to that of the Ginza Line; however, the Hibiya Line was designed to serve a number of important districts, such as Ebisu, Roppongi, Tsukiji, Kayabachō and Senju, which were not on an existing line.
The Hibiya Line is connected to the Tobu Skytree Line at Kita-Senju, and through services operate between Naka-Meguro and Tōbu-Dōbutsu-Kōen on the Tobu Skytee Line, and onward to Minami-Kurihashi on the Tōbu Nikkō Line.[2] Some peak-hour services terminate at Takenotsuka, Kita-Koshigaya or Kita-Kasukabe on the Tobu Skytree Line.[2]
Prior to 16 March 2013, when through-running began between the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line and the Tokyu Toyoko Line, Hibiya Line trains also inter-ran via the Tokyu Toyoko Line to Kikuna.[3]
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Transportation, as of June 2009 the Hibiya Line is the eighth most crowded subway line in Tokyo, running at 164% capacity between Minowa and Iriya stations.[4]
On maps, diagrams and signboards, the line is shown using the color "silver", and its stations are numbered with the prefix "H".

All stations are located in Tokyo.

- Tokyo Metro 03 series (since 1988)
- Tobu 20000 series (since 1988)
- TRTA 3000 series (from 1961 until July 1994)
- Tobu 2000 series (from 1962 until 1993)
- Tokyu 7000 series (original) (from 1964 until 1991)
- Tokyu 1000 series (from 1991 until 2013)
The Hibiya Line was the fourth subway line built in Tokyo after the Ginza Line, Marunouchi Line, and Toei Asakusa Line.
Its basic plan was drawn up by a Ministry of Transportation committee in 1957. Called "Line 2" at the time, it was designed to connect Naka-Meguro in southwest Tokyo with Kita-Koshigaya in the northeast. The full northeastern extension of the line was never built, as the Tobu Railway upgraded to quadruple track within the same corridor to meet capacity demands.
Work began in 1959, with the first section opening in March 1961. The line opened in stages: the northern section, between Kita-Senju and Ningyōchō, was operational in May 1962; the southern section, between Naka-Meguro and Kasumigaseki, opened in March 1964. The final segment, bridging Higashi-Ginza and Kasumigaseki, opened on August 29, 1964, just weeks before the opening ceremony for the 1964 Summer Olympics. This was something of a coup for the Teito Rapid Transit Authority (the predecessor of today's Tokyo Metro), as the Toei Asakusa Line, which was also to be completed in time for the Olympics, had fallen behind schedule and remained under construction for the duration of the Games.
The Hibiya Line was one of the lines targeted in the 1995 Aum sarin gas attack.
On March 8, 2000, five people were killed and 63 were injured when a derailed Hibiya Line train was sideswiped by a second train near Naka-Meguro Station.[5]

"Thought it would be a nice added touch for the envelope. I cut the labels and used the part with the return address on the front of envelope and the other part on the back flap of the envelope. Will use this on my invitations."
"I fell in love with this design and color scheme. Getting married this summer, our names on the label will be a lovely gift to my groom."
"I love these! Our friends and family were so impressed. I loved that I was able to find address labels that kept with our garden/flower theme. It made things so much easier and looked so classy! 10/10 would order again or suggest to a friend!"
"The labels turned out beautiful and exactly as I hoped they would be. I had some trouble lining up the fonts so the address was on the proper lines but with the help of a representative, it was done perfectly. The labels also arrived super quick and I had them in time to include in my daughters wedding shower gift."
"Wedding Paper Divas is awesome, good products, reasonable prices and fast delivery. We ordered a ton of these for our wedding and loved the color and design - looked exactly like the picture and the quality was great! They shipped within a day of ordering and received a few days later. I would definitely reccomend."

we LOVE our carport, it's situated at the front of our house and adds to the aesthetic and curb appeal of our home, and we get tons of compliments on it. a garage is great if you actually use it to park cars. most of our neighbors use theirs to store junk, then park their cars outside. seems like a waste.
Nov 30, 2012 3:07PM
Sorry. I'm the worrier. An empty carport. In my mind. Says no one is home. House is empty. I'd rather have my garage with the big door that says boring. That said - I have always kept my vehicles in the garage. To protect them from all of nature's assaults. Bird doo, hail, snow & ice, etc. I've recently moved to a snowy climate & it is amazing to me that the people here. Most of which have basements to put their junk in. Also fill their garages with crapola. And park their cars outside. I don't get that at all.

carports and "high design" has got to be the best oxy-moron statement of 2011!
That "high design" carport looks pretty sweet with your $20K Harley parked in it while your out of town on business. Heh, how about that $3K Snap-On tool box full of tools, or that $1,500 plasma cutter, or $800 compressor, or a million other valuables. As always the Architechs have their heads up their asses. Try designing a new rock and sell it.

And for "Someone"'s comment below, you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The average night temp has been below freezing for several weeks and my garage stays around 50 degrees F. In the summer it stays about 10-15 degrees cooler.
One thing I can agree upon is the aesthetic of some homes with front facing garages. That is a matter of preference and opinion, but I think it takes away from the home's design and appeal.

Carport in Madison Wisconsin, is he insane??? Carports have their place and can look nice on an upper end home, but if you live anywhere with snow, you want a garage. Your car will warm up faster (even without heating) and you're not constantly having to clean your windshield before you leave the house. There also needs to be adequate storage in the home for lawnmowers, garden equipment, etc which a garage provides and a carport doesn't do as well.

I agree with you in one aspect, we have houses in our neighborhood with 3 car garages and a little house attached, I can't ever agree on the preference for a carport. My garage is to the side of my house so you see the house when viewing from the street. I'm sorry but if my house had a carport it would take away from the aesthetics (cheapen it). I looked at the pics of the carports in question and with to exception of maybe two, I would not want any of them attached to my house.

Wright always believed garages were hideous. He said they were good for only collecting junk and clutter, accumulating things that people didn't need. Carport or garage is a preference, not a symbol of whether you live in low income housing or middle to upper class. I myself don't care for a garage, especially when an architect throws a multicar garage on the front of a small house, making it look like the owner lives in a garage than a home. Most people do not heat their garages making it no different than a carport unless you have high winds; which if that is the case in your regional area then build a garage.

Delicious. I cut the bread with a flower cookie cutter then spread it on each side and strawberry slices in the middle and put them together and then placed a slice of strawberry and a slice of cucumber on top and Secured them with a toothpick since the sandwich was a little thick. it was so cute. Also, use the smaller seedless or the English cucumbers. They aren't as wet and taste better. Also, I used the 1/3 less fat cream cheese and it still tasted delicious. Very good recipe. I'm keeping it.

This recipe was a lot of trouble. Since cucumber is so watery, I drained it and drained it. It still was too wet and the sandwiches fell apart. It was delicious and the chopped strawberries were pretty.

"...an invading nation who only want the land for the sake of having more land."
You mean like the rapidly expanding military presence of the Alliance in the Barrens and the wholescale battleground they've turned the southern half into. Not to mention Durotar, Dustwallow, etc.
"...the gray area of good/evil that both factions existed in is really evaporating away for the Horde."
Assuming you choose to turn a blind eye to everywhere the Alliance is doing the exact same thing, sure, but all this does is highlight your bias. The difference between the Alliance and the Horde is that the Alliance tends to wrap themselves in self-justified righteousness while they commit their evil acts. I'm sorry, but I can't help but see their hypocrisy and deception, even if it is self-deception, as even more evil.

It's a tradition that goes back as far as cutting out pumpkins during Halloween or cooking turkey during Thanksgiving. Ok, maybe it doesn't go back that far in the past, but the tradition of having auto shows and bringing in smoking hot girls to add to the attraction isn't anything new.
Recently, the SoCal Custom show was held and to no one's surprise, it came with about as many hot girls as you can find in one location. Sure, the custom vehicles are the unquestioned stars of the show, but don't tell us these vivacious vixens didn't steal a glance or two - or even 100 - from those in attendance.
Make no mistake; the cars that were showed off at the show are of the luxury and beautiful variety, but these ladies...we definitely wouldn't mind checking them out in these photos either. To get a closer look on these sassy sirens along with those custom vehicles, check out the gallery below.

Try The New Acne Treat – Experimented For several years
What if you get eliminate your acne 48 hours from now Virtually no topical applications absolutely no unknown remedies no toxic drugs with no overdose supplements. You will just fine tune the health supplements you may be already acquiring.
After the tremendous response to my hub with regards to facial masks I made the choice to give you more of my experience as a apothecary. Today I will give to you the best successful experimented cure of pimple that I have been promoting people for years. It truly is based on the brilliant fundamentals of biochemistry in addition to supported by recent controlled findings.
12 Decades Boys Have No Zits
Children are free from acne breakouts until puberty when all the body activitiesare directed to building more bone fragments and muscles in addition to preparing the body to breed to preserve lifestyle. Garcinia cambogia fatty liver cure The pituitary gland genius gland hormones strong the body to serve most of these purposes thus –
Human growth hormone increases utilization of fats for energy production will increase lipolysis fat breakdown by fat cells spares carbohydrate and will increase protein synthesis.
Hypothyroid Stimulating HormoneTSH energizes the thyroid gland to discharge Thyroid hormones and the increase oxygen consumption and metabolic rate as well as they increase blood sugar absorption.
Follicle Rousing Hormone FSH and Lutenizing Hormonal agent LH causesincreased bio-synthesis involving sex steroids through the ovaries and testis. Gender hormones build muscle tissues and raises glucose levels so as to be maintained within a certain array.
The net result is increased energy production from fats decreased energy production via carbohydrates as it is needed for protein metabolism enhanced protein synthesis as well as increased bio-synthesis of making love hormones. The biochemical language translation of that is the production of huge amounts of COENZYME A.
Coenzyme The and Acne
Coenzyme Some sort of is the central chemical in our metabolism this combines acetate that comes by carbohydrates protein along with fat metabolism to form Acetyl-Coenzyme A the only compound that the mitochondria use to generate energy through Krebs pattern. Also fat functionality – including steroidal growth hormones – starts with Acetyl Coenzyme The. Acetyl choline the neurotransmitter of the para-sympathetic nervous system can not be synthesised devoid of acetyl-coenzyme A.
Coenzyme A is formed by stepwise union associated with Cysteine amino acid ATPhigh electricity molecule and Pantothenate Nutritional B5. ATP is provided by metabolic process Cysteine if not present in food items can be derived from Methionine protein and Vitamin B5 may be only provided by food.
The body deals with our prime demand of an essential nutritious in such a way to maintain the functionally more important reactions yet still time slowing down the less important versions or why a clear disease is devastating.
In our case wherever Coenzyme A is a essential molecule in at the very least 70 metabolic pathways our bodies chooses to utilize Coenzyme A new and excess extra fat to senthesises sex hormones leaving excess fatty acids unmetabolized. Were there extra quantities of Coenzyme A the body would likely metabolize the excess fat within the sebaceous glands.
Now we can easily understand that acne breakouts can be due to unmetabolized fat that is accumulated in the sebaceous glands due to insufficient degrees of Coenzyme Ai.age. acne is due to slower metabolism of extra fat.
Why It Is Human hormones Biosynthesis and Not Androgen Effect
The key reason why acne first erupts in puberty is not connection between hormones but rather metabolic it really is secondary to deployement of a substantial amount of coenzyme A new to the purpose of functionality of sex the bodys hormones. In the following illustrations we may see that its not the androgen that is the source of acne-
Eunuchs early castrated males rarely exhibit acne breakouts while normal adult men may exhibit grown-up acne
Two multiple adolescent boys using the normal blood numbers of androgens may exihibit differnt incidence regarding acne
Stress related acne prior to examination stress insomnia…etccan be caused by increased synthesis of corticosteroids that the body secretes to help combat stress. Exactly the same thing apply for adult pimple of people who have not received acne as teenagers
The premenstrual flare associated with acne patients as a result of increased levels of progesterone which isnt an androgen
Rapid diminish in incidence associated with acne after adolescence is due to cessation of need of increased sex hormones synthesis
Biotin and Nicotinamide are crucial vitamins of lipid metabolism and with vitamin and mineral B5 they may help cure acne yet when they are used alone they are a great deal less effective in treating acne breakouts
Frequently seen zits with those secreting growths of the ovary testis and adrenals in people with different ages
Acne Remedy With Coenzyme A
Your precursors of coenzyme A usually are ATP which is very loaded with the body of teenage people Cysteine which is not for essential amino acid that could be supplied with food or even derived from the essential amino acid Methionine and Vitamin B5 Pantothenic acid solution which is essentially supplied by food.
Pantothenic acid nutritional B5 supply to increase human body production of coenzyme A has become recommended by Medical professional Lit-Hung Leung in high doasage amounts reaching 1000-1500 times its recommended daily absorption which is 10 mg per day. The recommended dose is so large 10-15 gramsday because vitamin B5 is a water soluble vitamin supplements i.e. together with each heart beat the unused B5 molecules cross into the kidney to get excreted. It follows that will Vitamin B5 should be present all the time to record any free Cysteine.
Increase Cysteine to Reduce Pantothenic Dose
Considering that the demand for coenzyme A boosts in adolescence the requirement for Cysteine must increase. Cysteine is a sulfur amino acid that is to a great extent used in building keratin that is an important constituent of the epidermis which increases mostly in size during teenage life growing wanted as well as unwanted hair as well as used in forming nails.
Cysteine free pool within the liver has a narrow range since the lean meats cells tightly oversees it to keep it within that variety. The liver synthesises Glutathione as being a reservoir of cysteine. Glutathione may be the primary tool in the liver for detixification. It possesses a great vital role in many cell cycle related events that are needed during tissue mend. It is also vital intended for maintaining functioning in the immune system.
Cysteine with Glutamic acid another amino acid are viewed as by some researchers to be essential factors for adolescents.
Supervision of Cysteine is the just means by which we could reduce the dose regarding Pantothenic acid. I have advised the combination of Pantothenic acidity Cysteine for many acne people for more than 10 years with great results in alleviating acne.
Taking 0.5-1 grams of Cysteine daily reduces your intake of Pantothenic p to only 1-1.5 gr per day they will be put together.
Pantethine The New Relief
This metabolic pathway of synthesis of coenzyme A will involve a compound called Pantetheine the direct precursor regarding coenzyme A. It is now created in the stable kind pantethine as it involves Only two molecules in the disulfide sort of pantethine. It has an extra benefit from being sustained as time passes since every chemical has to be split very first and this delays the elimination.
It was intensively reviewed for its cholesterol and also lipid lowering houses arent they excess fat and has become very well liked for cardiovascular help. The literature with regards to Pantethine is full of details about which property and this forced me to reluctant to recommend the use for zits until I found some individuals are already using Pantethine for stopping acne as you can go through in the link under.

Dark Reactions Of Photosynthesis:
The alkaloid in tobacco responsible for its highly addictive properties is nicotine, a mild stimulant of the central nervous system. In its pure form, nicotine is highly poisonous and is used as an insecticide. Nicotine is derived from nicotinic acid, a B-vitamin also known as niacin. Niacin prevents pellagra, a disease characterized by severe damage to the tongue, skin and digestive tract. Nicotinic acid is also converted into nicotinamide, a precursor of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP), a vital coenzyme required for photosynthesis. [NAD is another vital coenzyme that carries electrons to the electron transport system in mitochondria.] During the light reactions of photosynthesis, NADP picks up two hydrogen atoms from water molecules forming NADPH2, a powerful reducing agent that is used to convert carbon dioxide into glucose during the dark reactions of photosynthesis (also called the Calvin Cycle). When the two atoms of hydrogen join with NADP, oxygen is liberated, and this is the source of oxygen gas in our atmosphere. The following equation shows the overall reactants and products of photosynthesis:
6 CO2 + 6 H2O (ATP & NADPH2 from Light Reactions) = C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Note: The oxygen liberated during the light reactions comes from water.
CAM Photosynthesis:
Some plants adapted to hot, arid regions have a different
photosynthetic mechanism called CAM photosynthesis. CAM
(Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis is also found in
cacti and succulents, including the crassula family (Crassulaceae).
During the hot daylight hours their stomata are tightly closed;
however they still carry on vital photosynthesis as carbon dioxide
gas is converted into simple sugars. During the cooler hours of
darkness their stomata are open and CO2 enters the leaf cells where
it combines with PEP (phosphoenolpyruvate) to form 4-carbon organic
acids (malic and isocitric acids). The 4-carbon acids are stored in
the vacuoles of photosynthetic cells in the leaf. During the
daylight hours the 4-carbon acids break down releasing CO2 for the
dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis inside the stroma
of chloroplasts. The CO2 is converted into glucose through a series
of complicated reactions involving ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and
NADPH2 (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), the latter
two compounds which were synthesized during the light reactions of
daylight in the grana of chloroplasts. The adaptive advantage of
CAM photosynthesis is that plants in arid regions can keep their
stomata closed during the daytime, thereby reducing water loss from
the leaves through transpiration; however, they can still carry on
photosynthesis with a reserve supply of CO2 that was trapped during
the hours of darkness when the stomata were open.
Another interesting modification of the photosynthetic pathway is called C-4 Photosynthesis. During C-4 photosynthesis, CO2 combines with phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to form a 4-carbon organic acid (oxaloacetic acid) which migrates (diffuses) to the photosynthetic bundle sheath cells surrounding the vascular bundles (veins) of the leaf. PEP essentially shuttles the CO2 to the bundle sheath cells where it is released for the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) of photosynthesis. During hot weather the CO2 level inside leaves is greatly reduced because the leaf stomata are closed. In ordinary C-3 plants which form a 3-carbon compound (PGA) during the initial steps of the dark reactions, photosynthesis in the leaf shuts down without a sufficient supply of CO2. C-4 plants have a competitive advantage during hot summer days because they are able to carry on photosynthesis in the bundle sheaths where CO2 levels are concentrated. C-4 plants such as Bermuda grass and purslane grow rapidly during hot summer days, while photosynthesis and growth in C-3 plants shuts down.
Early explorers in the New World encountered native people in the Caribbean region smoking tobacco. Tobacco seeds were brought back to Europe by 1558. Sir Walter Raleigh planted tobacco plants and potatoes on his estate in Ireland in 1586. The famous taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus named the tobacco plant Nicotiana, in honor of the French ambassador Jean Nicot who distributed the seeds. The most carcinogenic (cancer causing) effect of habitual tobacco smoking is from the inhalation of tars produced from the burning leaves. This applies to the tobacco smoker and the other unfortunate souls breathing second hand smoke. Curing of tobacco leaves involves a series of complex biochemical events, including fermentation, browning, and the conversion of starches into sugars. During the curing process the water content is reduced from 80 percent to 20 percent. Dried tobacco leaves are used for cigarettes and cigars, and for pipe and chewing tobaccos. Tobaccos often contain other ingredients which enhance the flavor and aroma, including sugars, licorice, rum and menthol. Some of these compounds, such as coumarin, have been shown to be carcinogenic when burned. Most cultivated tobacco plants are tetraploids with four haploid sets of chromosomes. Polyploid plants (with extra sets of chromosomes) often have larger leaves, flowers and fruits, so the advantage of polyploid tobacco plants is obvious.

The Biggest Flops of the Decade? Not Exactly
$100 million/$4.4 million 2 - Battlefield Earth
$75 million/$21 million 3- Land of the Lost
$100 million/$65 million 4 - Gigli
$54 million/$6.1 million 5 - Town and Country
$90 million/$6.7 million 6 - Catwoman
$100 million/$40 million 7 - The Invasion
$80 million/$15.1 million 8 - Rollerball
$70 million/$19 million 9 - Grindhouse
$67 million/$25 million 10- The Spirit
$60 million/$19.8 million I don't think anyone is proud of those movies, but you can tell just by looking that the ten films they have aren't even in the proper order. How is Land of the Lost a bigger flop than Town and Country or The Invasion, just looking at the raw numbers? Ah: Subjectivity. Then why even list the dollars? Beyond that, though, is the obvious evidence that these aren't the ten biggest flops of the decade. Around the World in 80 Days cost more than Land of the Lost and made less. In fact, the numbers for the Will Ferrell bomb are almost exactly the same as K-19: The Windowmaker, so where's that? The Alamo is a bigger flop in terms of total revenue than anything but Pluto Nash, which also reminds me that there should be more Eddie Murphy here. Take your pick: Showtime, I Spy, Meet Dave, and Imagine That all lost mountains of money. Absent as well are the following movies that all left millions of dollars on the table: Sahara
$150 million/$121 million Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
$137 million/$85 million Red Planet
$80 million/$33 million A Sound of Thunder
$80 million/$6.3 million Hart's War
$70 million/$33 million Stealth
$138 million/$76 million Rollerball
$70 million/$26 million Gods and Generals
$55 million/$13 million Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever
$70 million/$14 million Son of the Mask
$100 million/$59 million All the King's Men
$55 million/$9 million The Last Castle
$60 million/$20 million Femme Fatale
$35 million/$6.6 million So don't take the Reporter list as gospel, because only about half of the ten should even be included. Well done, industry-leading trade magazine.

Change has come to D.C. …and I ain't talkin' about the Barack Obama kinda change here. Nope…I'm talkin' about the change that's been made over the course of the last week in Washington's goal.
After the 4-3 opening game loss to the New York Rangers, Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau made a change 'tween the pipes for game 2…turning to young Simeon Varlamov who had all of 6 regular season games and only 5 starts to his name. However, in those games he played well, compiling a record of 4-0-1 with a .918 SV% and 2.37 GAA.
Thrashers fans may remember this youngster…who was the 23rd overall pick in 2006 and turns 21 on Monday…from his outstanding game in Atlanta during the last week of the season. Washington won that game 4-2 behind Varlamov's 29 saves on 31 shots performance.
Game two didn't produce the outcome Boudreau had hoped for on the scoreboard, a 1-0 loss, but he saw enough from Varlamov to know he needed to stick with the young-un. Turns out to have been a good call.
In the third game of the series, played in Madison Square Garden, Varlamaov stopped all of the 33 shots he faced in Washington's 4-0 shutout win. In game four he turned away all but two of the Rangers' 21 attempts…but the Capitals fell 2-1 and sank into a three games to one deficit.
Young Varlamov had lost 2 of the 3 starts he had made in the playoffs going into Friday's must-win game 5…but he had stopped 75 of the 78 shots he'd faced, (.962 SV%) and was sporting a 1.01 GAA in the post-season. The Caps weren't facing a round-one upset because of him, that's for sure.
However, thanks in great part to him, the Caps are still alive and heading back to Gotham for another must-win type of game. Varlamov turned aside 20 SOG in Washington's 4-0 spanking of the Rangers. That's right…the kid has two playoff shutouts in just four games and is sporting a nifty .969 SV%.
If Atlanta opens the season next fall against the Capitals…and if they do, it will be for the third straight year…we'll see young Simeon Varlamov again 'tween the pipes, just as we did the last time we faced the them. Because no matter what happens for the rest of the way against the Rangers…or later in the playoffs possibly…this kid has earned the job in D.C.
Holy %&#@!…Did You See That?
Speaking of Washington's game-5 win Friday night…did you see the goal Alex Ovechkin scored just before the second intermission to make it 4-0 Caps at the break? "WOW" just doesn't seem to pay it justice.
Ovie took the puck in center ice along the left boards…crosses the blueline…weaves between two defenders, passing the puck to himself between the legs of one Ranger…then beats Lundqvist with the backhand, while Aaron Voros is driving him to the ice while draped across his back.
What's That You Say, Erik?
I missed this interview on XM the other day…but the Falconer is reporting that Erik Christensen made some sort of comment about how his poor showing in Thrasher-blue had to do mostly because of the ownership here. Reportedly, Christensen said that Atlanta was "a very difficult place to play due to the problems with ownership."
Uh-huh…I guess that's just a helluva lot more easy to say than, "I simply couldn't find a way to take a nice pass and put it in the net on a regular basis".
The Man With The Plan
TSN's Scott Cullen has posted his off-season game plan for the Thrashers. Not surprisingly, job number one for Don Waddell is re-signing Kovy before the season starts.
Cullen writes, "General manager Don Waddell is also under pressure since he's been presiding over this franchise since its inception and it would be a p.r. disaster to lose your franchise player because he's not impressed with the supporting cast provided to him".
Funny…I Don't Feel Canadian
Hey, did you know that you just might be a Canadian citizen right now and not even know it? Yup…it's true!
Now I'm Steamed!
It is with great sadness and a deep sense of regret that I have to report the loss of an Atlanta sports franchise. As I have learned recently from my good friend Mortimer Peacock of The Blueland Chronicle…the Atlanta Steam of the Lingerie Footbal League has shipped off to Charlotte, North Carolina…stripping from us their talent.
For those of you that chose to boycott the team in hopes that the Steam would get a new general manager…I hope you are all quite happy with yourselves!
Playoff Viewing At TJ's
This past season, as you know, we held a few Thrashers Viewing Parties at TJ"s Bar & Grill and they were a big success. Mark and Tim are excellent hosts and ask me during the last one to make sure we return for the playoffs. Well, I spoke with Mark the other day and we are gonna shoot for next Sunday afternoon May 3rd. Don't know who'll be playing just yet as it'll be the first weekend of the second round…but whoever it'll be, I'm sure we'll have a good time. It'll be perfect if you're suffering from any withdrawl symptoms since the season eneded!
As always, you can RSVP with Trixie if you plan on attending. Hope to see ya'll there!

I never PURPOSEFULLY ABSTAINED from the Lingerie Football League. I blame poor marketing.
April 24th, 2009
11:12 pm
Rawhide, I saw Ovechkin's goal on the replays. Wow, indeed. Also, Varlamov has been terrific in net. So, let me ask you … "What becomes of Jose Theodore?" Do the Caps go looking for a netminder in free agency? Or, are they really and truly set with Varlamov next season, with Theodore as the backup? Is it true that Bryzgalov wants out of Phoenix? If so, could this be where Washington looks?
Let's see what GM McPhee does at the draft.
April 24th, 2009
11:27 pm
I just discovered that the Atlanta Steam don't have any playoff wins–and still have the same GM since inception. Maybe the fans had CAUSE not to attend? Hey, I always say it should be about "accountability."
April 24th, 2009
11:51 pm
Do you know the problem Christy had with ownership?
Levenson must have taken him out drinking before the games so Christy kept seeing two pucks when he whiffed on the shot. A few more drinks and maybe there would have been three pucks and Christy could have swung his stick at the middle one.
April 25th, 2009
8:07 am
I also have a plan for Don Waddell. Line item number 1 of the plan says, "Resign as Atlanta Thrashers GM due to consistent underperformance." Line item number 2 syas, "See line item number 1."
April 25th, 2009
11:17 am
While it's true that Atlanta has an ownership problem, it appears that Anaheim is using him less and less. While he did score twice and add seven assists during his time in Anaheim, there was also a few games where he was used less than ten minutes. One such game had him on the ice for only slightly north of the six minute mark.
Ownership isn't the reason you couldn't cut it here. The reason is you have stone hands. Even Thorburn scored the same number of goals as you, Christensen. Is that the fault of ownership, too?
April 25th, 2009
12:11 pm
Betcha Christensen started that "I need top line minutes" crap and Pronger stuffed him in a trashcan.
April 25th, 2009
1:50 pm
Christensen is nothing but a coward. It's easy to blame someone else because he sucked here. Colby Armstrong came in the same trade and has played reasonably well. Christensen sounds like a classic front runner to me. It shows a hell of a lot more character to play well on a bad team than to play well on a potentially great team.
April 25th, 2009
2:53 pm
If it weren't for the shootouts, would Christensen be an NHL player? Maybe. Many teams aren't picky about their 4th line guys.
Shifting gears, we're moments away from the puck drop on what 'could' be the final game of the Flyers season. Likewise, the San Jose Sharks are facing elmination. It would be an IMPROBABLE end to the San Jose Sharks President's Tropy-winning season. If the Sharks lose, the speculation will start about Todd McLellan, Head Coach, and whether or not Ron Wilson should have ever been sent packing. Truthfully, I would view a 1st round exit as something of a grandios failure on the part of the Sharks organization. But I wouldn't fire Todd McLellan. I supported the Sharks in their decision to move in a different direction, away from Wilson. Don't cry for Wilson, he's one of the most successful coaches in the NHL. The only issue there, with Wilson, is the lack of a Cup ring. And if he gets that done, ESPECIALLY with Toronto, he'll be a 1st ballot HOF inductee. Even after Toronto, Wilson will be offered another Head Coaching position.
But I want to take a little 'informal poll,' about whether we bloggers think the Flyers and Sharks are done tonight. I'll go out on a limb and say both survive to fight another day. Game Five, between Calgary and Chicago, is on Center Ice, Comcast channel #774 tonight at 9PM. The Ducks-Sharks game is on Versus, at 10PM.
This 3PM game between the Penguins and Flyers is on NBC. It's easy to forget, but this WASthe Conference Finals matchup last season, which the Penguins won, 4-1. Perhaps swept under the carpet a bit is this FACT: The Philadelphia Flyers, since 2003, have advanced to the 2nd round of the playoffs every year they qualified for the playoffs, except for 2006, where they lost to Buffalo, 4-2. Of course, the Flyers finished DEAD LAST in the NHL in 2007. Seems like a distant memory now, doesn't it? Right about now, perhaps the Flyers wish they still had R.J. Umberger. You'll recall that Umberger was dished at the draft to Columbus, with a 4th round pick, for a 1st and 3rd round pick in 2008. I believe the Flyers took Luca Sbisa at #19 and March-Andre Bourdon at #67.
April 25th, 2009
3:04 pm
If the Sharks lose, the speculation will start about Todd McLellan
No, "speculation" will not start about a first year head coach. What will happen is the Sharks would have solidified their position as playoff chokers. The Sharks would also become only the third team since the Presidents' Trophy was created to bow out of the playoffs in the first round.
To insinuate McLellan's position is on the line is, for lack of a better word, silly. Doug Wilson, on the other hand, is very likely fair game. After all, San Jose's playoff record has regressed since he became the GM. Bowing out in the first round would be the cherry on top of the three second round defeats, and the conference finals defeat in 2004.
April 25th, 2009
3:40 pm
Alan, Alan, Alan. For clarity purposes, I'm not suggesting that McLellan would be fired. On the contrary, "speculation" is referencing "talk" whether the Sharks NEEEEEEDED to make a change at the Head Coaching position. I don't think he's getting fired. I even said so. Okay, I said I wouldn't fire him. The Sharks will do whatever they jolly well want with their Head Coaching position. Alan, do you really think there'll be NO SPECULATION, … AT ALLLLL … about what San Jose did with their Head Coach, if the team is eliminated in the 1st round. None … WHATSOEVER???
April 25th, 2009
4:08 pm
On the contrary, "speculation" is referencing "talk" whether the Sharks NEEEEEEDED to make a change at the Head Coaching position.
And I'm saying any such talk – even the suggestion – is ludicrous. I never said there wouldn't be, I'm saying there shouldn't be.
Any talk that should occur should be directed towards the GM. The head coach should be more than safe.
April 25th, 2009
4:33 pm
McClellan will be fine but Wilson may have to find a new address…
April 25th, 2009
5:12 pm
What could Wilson have done differently? Tell me where he has failed his team, please.
April 25th, 2009
6:15 pm
Alan, I can appreciate that you think there's "shouldn't be" any talk about it. But, I'm going to watch and see what gets published out there. From my perspective, whenever a #1 team is knocked off by a #8, in ANY sport, there'll be "talk," or "speculation" about the what the Head Coach did/tried. I'm not saying, "talk about firing," but rather, talk about what went wrong for the #1 seed that was eliminated. How on EARTH does the Head Coach not even get MENTIONED in such a scenario??? He's just "totally blameless, totally insulated" for a PEEP of criticism? I'll be looking forward to that day. As I don't think it's ever existed. If the Head Coach of the #1 seed gets eliminated in the 1st round, and ABSOLUTELY NO ONE criticizes him, my jaw will drop.
Who has THIS KIND OF POWER????? Not even Scotty Bowman would get such a pass from the media. And I wouldn't fire Bowman, either. I realize that these things happen. Especially in a sport as unpredictable as hockey. Bowman's Red Wings, in 1996, won 62 games in the regular season. They only lost 13 games, ALLLL YEAAAAR LONNNNG. And yet, they did not win the Stanley Cup in 1996, Colorado did. Detroit dropped nine (9) games in the playoffs. Did Bowman get a PASS from the media?? No. Did he get fired? Certainly not. And the Wings won the Cup the very next season.
When I look at Doug Wilson's move, I don't see GLARING ERRORS. He brought in Thornton, and even re-signed him. He brought in Boyle, (and Brad Lukowich,) at the expense of Matt Carle, Ty Wishart, a 1st round pick in 2009 (could be as late as pick #30, if the Sharks win the Cup,) and a throw away 4th-rounder. He re-signed Marleau. He re-signed Pavelski. He re-signed Christian Ehrhoff and Marcel Goc. I forgot what he did at the deadline this year. I think he tried to move Kyle McLaren, but he failed a physical, and the deal was annuled. He did make some kind of deal with Anaheim. But it escapes me right now. He picked up Jeremy Roenick last year in free agency, and it worked out, so much so that he re-signed him. He picked up some experience in Rob Blake. There's some "miss" in it, but a lot of "hits," too. Where I agree with you, Alan, is that the results just haven't been there, since 2004. And it's results-oriented business.
If it were me, as the owner of the Sharks, I don't think I'd fire either one just yet. The roster still looks good. Many players are returning. I'd, "try, try again" with the same group of players, with a tweak here and there. But if I don't like the offseason moves, that's different. As a good owner, it's my job to fork over the money, get out of the way, and let my GM "manage." If I don't like what I see, then I take appropriate action. I wouldn't say it's "hopeless, hopeless, utterly hopeless" for the Sharks next year. Shoot, it's not even over yet, this year.

Well, the Flyers blew a 3-0 lead, AT HOME, in a game where their very survival was on the line. Ouch. I really did think they would win this game, especially when Briere scored that 3rd goal. I think Pittsburgh tied it up before the end of the 2nd period. That's great for the Penguins. They avoid the Game Seven, earn a little bit more rest time.

Still alive! Still alive! At 6:02 of overtime, Patrick Marleau extends the series for San Jose. It's another win for McLellan. But San Jose did have a 2-0 lead, after two periods, and couldn't hold it in regulation time. This is going to be a very intriguing Game Six at Honda Center.

Thrash need to take advantage of their cap space. there be some good teams dropping good talent off to get under the cap, with the hope of signing free agents. Briere would be an excellent compliment for Kovy. Philly is cap stressed.

What excuse will Erik Christensen serve up for seeing less ice time on the Ducks?
He can't master the flying wing or knunkle puck.

ranallo- Nothing. I just get the feeling that San Jose pretty much has "Stanley Cup or Bust" written up one side and down the other.
Doug Wilson's done a MAGNIFICENT job building that team, but you just get the feeling that if they don't make it to the finals the whole works are going to be suspect.If they don't get past the Ducks, I wouldn't be surprised to see them blow the team up.
Might be dumb, but that's the vibe I get.
However, it seems that big Joe Thornton has finally found his "playoff switch". I read an article by Bill Simmons a few years ago (back when he wrote about sports and not "The Hills" WTF is up with that anyway?-sorry totally different rant), that basically pointed out Joe and Kevin Garnett specifically as guys who are great players, but just don't have the "extra gear" needed to achieve post-season success.
Theory was they play @ the top 5% of human ability all the time-but when the other players ratchet their 80% up to say 87-95%, Thornton & Garnett couldn't make a similar "adjustment"-they're already playing at their full potential.
Anyway, I bring that up because (as was noted by the VS guys) last night was the first time I've ever seen Joe Thornton fired up-as the commentator said "The skill's always been there, looks like Big Joe finally found the emotional tap-now the will is there too."
Looking forward to Monday night's game.

I hear you Tony. I'd say there's little justification in firing the GM (or coach for that matter) that leads your team to a President's Trophy. However, I could see how something drastic like that could inspire the ere of change that is needed, if they were to fail again.
It must be frustrating for SJ fans to see the teams assembled and know they've got little to show for it.

Capitals win again! It's a 5-3 win, at the Gahden, with a suspended Head Coach John Tortorella watching on. Jim Schoenfeld held the fort for the Rangers. Tortorella will be back behind the bench for Game Seven. You'll recall the that Capitals trailed the Flyers, 3-1, last year. But the Capitals rallied to force Game Seven at the Verizon Center. Trouble was, they lost it. In overtime. In my view, those Flyers were a better team than these Rangers. So, I did definitely think they could get back to Game Seven. But, the job isn't done yet. Washington must not choke Game Seven away. I did pick Washington to win the East and be in the Cup Finals, against San Jose, so … I'm holding my breath for these picks just to survive the 1st round. Varlamov has been effective in relief of Jose Theodore. He holds two (2) shutouts in this series already. He's also had a 1 goal outing, in a loss. If the Capitals can manage to score 3 (or more) goals … and Varlamov plays like he has, Washington has a serious shot at winning Game Seven. Hey, I like Bruce Boudreau. I'm hoping he gets it done.
Bruin fans are waiting and watching. What Boston fans probably want … is an extended series, where the Rangers win. Well, they got HALF of that equasion. The series will go seven. If Washington wins, they'll host the next series. They just don't know who their opponent will be. Could be Pittsburgh. Could be New Jersey. If New Jersey wins tonight, they advance. If the Capitals win Game Seven, and the Devils beat the 'Canes, Washington (2) would host (3) New Jersey, while Pittsburgh (4) travels to Boston (1).
In the East, it's not really common to see all the top seeded teams advance. Commissioner Bettmen probably wouldn't be upset about Boston (1) vs. NY (7) in the next round, and the TV-ratings that might produce.
April 26th, 2009

about Varlamov. Think about: you can count on him playing against Atlanta in the division series for a while now. Forget Theodore, who as I remember handed the Thrashers their home opener of this very season. Seems like it was years ago now.
April 26th, 2009
9:24 pm
I wouldn't bet against it, Midfield. The playoffs is the season that matters the most. And who's playing in the Capitals net? Not Theodore. Still, it might not be a horrible idea for the Caps to retain Theodore as the backup. He did put up some decent regular season numbers, as Rawhide mentioned above.

This NJ-Carolina series is the 2nd series to go seven games. I picked New Jersey to win this series, but I am secretly rooting for Carolina. They are the south's only team left. Nashville didn't make it in. And I don't count Washington as "southern," despite the name of the division. Florida missed the dance by a "hair." In hindsight, I think Florida would have presented a much stronger opponent than Montreal was for Boston. Anywho… my thoughts are strangely turned towards the 2004 CF and SCF for Tampa Bay, when I view this Carolina-NJ series. Let me explain.
In the 2004 CF, Tampa Bay won games 1, 3, 5 and 7. And in the Stanley Cup Finals, they won games 2, 4, 6 and 7. Well, NJ is trying to replicate the 1, 3, 5, 7 formula while Carolina is gunning for the 2, 4, 6 and 7 series win. Has Carolina-NJ been the best series, of the 1st round? My first thoughts are "yes," but I've also been drawn to the Calgary-Chicago series, which has been a "home ice advantage" type of series. Also, the Rangers-Caps series has just become very intriguing. I think 20 or so teams have overcome the 3-1 series deficit to win. The Caps might be next. I am hoping that San Jose can also add to those teams that overcame the 3-1 series deficit.
Biggest disappointment of the 2009 playoffs? I'm not even going to say Montreal. I think it's Columbus. They gave up 4 goals in the first three games, then six in Game Four, which was their only real chance at earning a win. Hockey fans in Ohio waited a long, long time to make the playoffs … and what they got wasn't exactly awe-inspiring. R.J. Umberger didn't disappoint, however. Rick Nash didn't score until Game Four, if I recall correctly. Some of you will say, "What about St. Louis being swept?" Yeah, that was surprising, given their 2nd half finish, and quasi-miracle run to 6th position. There was plenty of "talk" about St. Louis winning that series. I don't recall anyone predicting a Vancouver sweep. St. Louis hasn't won a playoff series since 2002, 4-1, over Chicago.

Let's turn to our own 21 year old netminder. Sure he played bad at the beginning of the year but so did everyone else. If he had been behind the team that had a winning record when it didn't matter if it was Lehtonen or Hedberg between the pipes he would've done just as well.
April 27th, 2009
9:33 am
I also see Washington and Carolina both winning the game 7 matches tomorrow. With the Hurricanes being the lowest seed they will play Boston. Then that will lead to the most possibly overhyped matchup of Crosby vs Ovechkin I for the middle seeds.
April 27th, 2009

Ryan Jankowski, the assistant GM and director of amateur scouting for the New York Islanders, was in the Brampton getting an up-close look at Matt Duchene. If they don't win the next away game to close out the series, Charles Wang will be in attendance for the next home game. I don't know why links don't work here anymore (or bolding or italics) so I can't get the link to work. Either way, looks like the Islanders are not sold on Tavares.
April 27th, 2009

Just some early speculation on Kari from the forthperiod. We keep reading about him being shopped at the trade deadline. I assume things will start to happen around the draft one way or another. I hope DW doesn't do something like send him to Philly for injury-prone Briere and his remaining six year at 6+ mil per. Talk about a big possible handycap for a franchise. Philly's about to be in one if the cap shrinks.
April 27th, 2009
12:07 pm
A little early but thats why the caps only signed Theodore to a 2 year deal. They expected this kid to be their goalie, again probably a littler earlier than expected.
Great to see Christison cry like the bi&tch that he is. What a baby, BYE. Love watching all these games, the philly game was an instant classic, what a MELTDOWN. I called the bro up in philly, he was speechless and said "perfect ending for this team" ahhahhaahahaha. I hate both of those teams and hate to say this…I hope the bruins PUNISH cindy and the pens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 27th, 2009

Thrash will keep both Kari and Kovy. Philly is trying to dump salary. Thrash can use their salart cap advantage and get some help this summer.

Remember, Brendan, that Columbus was playing Detroit. That was a match-up made in hell, as far as first playoffs are concerned. Columbus was destined to lose that series. Detroit notched up the pressure quite a bit, and Columbus collapsed under it.
That said, Columbus sure waited long enough to ramp up their own intensity, but made a very costly mistake with the sixth man on the ice in Game 4. And I'm torn, as far as that is concerned. As a fan of Detroit, I hoped to see them excel. But I also wanted to see Columbus win a couple games — especially their games at home.
April 27th, 2009
2:06 pm
I feel bad for the Columbus fans but deep down I'm happy because it's one less excuse people can use to scorn the Thrashers. I can understand why some people would be excited about saying "Atlanta is the only NHL team without a single game won in the playoffs", but as a fan of the team I hope that sentence can never be said.
April 27th, 2009
5:38 pm
Alan, I completely agree with you, there. I really, genuinely thought Columbus would win a few games. They did play Detroit fairly well over the past two seasons. But I had no illusions of a Columbus upset. Columbus should be PROUD that they did take a "1st step" in the evolution of their franchise. I'd think that the Blue Jackets should be able to get back to the playoffs, if they don't make any serious missteps between now and "Opening Night." I think they do have to re-sign Rick Nash (proactively) in this offseason. And they need to be "responsible" about it. These are the challenges of a GM, as you know.
But, as for whether the Thrashers are the ONLY team left without a playoff win, I just don't see it as being all that important. For all we know, there will eventually be another expansion team … and it might go 7-8 seasons without making the playoffs, and well … those are concerned about "only NHL teams without a victory" can have something about which to be gleeful. I'd wager that in the next DECADE or so, the Thrashers will get a playoff win. They ought to be able to achieve that much, just by annual lottery drafts and waiver claims, as a bottom feeder team.
For meeeee, the whole issue of playoff futility stems NOT about one (1) measely playoff win, but RATHER, about not advancing the team PAST the 2nd round of the playoffs, given that it has had so many lottery picks (Five going into 2009, six if you want to starting including 2009) and Top 10 draft positions (8 coming into 2009, nine (9) if you want to start adding it) from which to build the franchise. For meeee, I just can't understand why the team hasn't been better, in terms of number of playoff appearances, and success therein. Okay, I do understand it. I'm just disappointed by it. It doesn't stop me from loving the Thrashers, but it does cause me to have ample concern over how the organization is run. Personally, I think the dedicated hockey fans of this city have deserved BETTER. But it is what it is. "If, at first, you don't succeed. Try, try again." I'm a fan who realizes that there are "peaks and valleys" in the evolution of a team, and that my team simply CANNOT win the Stanley Cup, year in and year out. And I further think fans in Montreal who hold this viewpoint are being wholly unrealistic in their expectations. There's a salary cap in effect. The purpose of that cap, in addition to fiscal responsibility, is to create parity, and prevent dynasties. At least in theory. It would work, if the NHL's accountants weren't setting them off "projected revenues" instead of ACTUAL ones. If the NHL set the cap limit off the actual revenues, cities like Edmonton, Phoenix, Raleigh, Buffalo and Atlanta would actually have a fair and equal chance at winning Stanley Cups. But that's another topic.

B. Hussein Obama, perhaps the Islanders are hoping to land Tavares ANNND Duchene this year? Maybe the Isles would like to make a pitch to Colorado, who sits at #3, or Los Angeles, who picks 5th, or Phoenix, with picks 6th? If the Islanders promised their 2010 first round pick in their proposal, I think these teams would at least "listen" to the pitch. An Islander 1st round pick can very well turn out to be a lottery draft pick next year. Also, Toronto's Brian Burke went public, a few weeks ago now at TSN, that he'd like to trade up in the draft, ideally landing Tavares. (So would many OTHER GM's.) Burke went so far as to say no player, not even Luc Schenn, would be "off the table" in the hypothetical trade. I can't remember where Toronto is drafting. Perhaps 7th?? But I'd tell you that I doubt Duchene would still be there at #7, if the Islanders wanted to swap draft positions with Toronto. And Toronto would have to give up a LOT to make that happen with the Islanders. The Leafs promising the Isles Toronto's 1st round pick in 2010 won't cut it. John Tavares broke some of Gretzky's records. I don't think it'd be worth taking the risk of losing Tavares, pretty much no matter WHAT some other team offers. Where would Toronto draft NEXT YEAR, if they got Tavares THIS YEAR? It wouldn't be worth it. When you own the #1 overall pick, you should select your player and control his rights for 7-8 years. But heyyy, these are the Islanders. Who knows what "vodoo drafting scenario" they'll cook up this year.
April 29th, 2009
12:36 pm
Toronto is at #7. They do not have the assets on their current roster or farm system to move up. Duchene will go no later than 3-4.
Maybe the Thrashers can pickup Daymond Langkow from Calgary.

2 cops disciplined for name covering at Occupy Oakland
An officer concealed his nameplate because he had heard that another officer videotaped by Occupy protesters later had personal information posted online
By Matthew Artz
OAKLAND, Calif. — An Oakland police officer is facing a 30-day suspension for concealing his nameplate with black tape during an Occupy protest, and the lieutenant who removed the tape has been demoted for not properly documenting the incident.
Officer John Hargraves remains on duty while contesting the suspension issued early last month, department sources said. But Lt. Clifford Wong was unable to challenge his demotion to sergeant.

Researchers were awarded approximately $3 million from the National Institutes of Health to continue studying how our bodies respond to seasonal and pandemic flu viruses and vaccines.
In a recent study in Nature Immunology, Deborah Fowell, Ph.D., associate professor of Microbiology and Immunology, mapped how immune cells travel to sites of injury or infection. She says the findings could help with the development of treatments that stop, slow down or speed up the immune response. Check out this video of Fowell for more details on her work.

University Awards
This scheme allows universities to attract or retain outstanding research staff at an early to mid-stage in their careers by providing support for up to five years, after which time the applicant takes up a guaranteed permanent post in the university.
A monograph or other substantial publications are expected to result from an award, and so teaching and other non-research commitments are expected to be minimal during the period of full Wellcome Trust support.
What's included
Up to five years' support is available, providing your full salary for three years, 50 per cent in the fourth year and 25 per cent in the fifth year.
Travel expenses to attend meetings are provided for five years, but research expenses are provided for the first three years of the award only.
You must be nominated by your prospective head of department and have an undertaking from the head of the institution, vice-chancellor, principal or dean that your personal support will be taken over by the institution at the end of the Trust's grant.
If you are remaining in your current institution, you should not be in an established academic post at the time an application for an award is made.
Support is normally available only at lecturer level, although in exceptional cases awards to senior-lecturer level may be possible.
The host institution would normally be located in either the United Kingdom or Republic of Ireland.
Application process
Initial enquiries about the scheme may be made by you (the potential candidate) or a department in an institution.
These enquiries should be followed by a preliminary application from you, in writing (preferably submitted by email), including:
- an explicit statement from the head of the institution, vice-chancellor or dean demonstrating the institution's commitment to your research field, and a statement confirming that the institution will provide 50 per cent salary costs in year four, 75 per cent in year five and full salary thereafter
- CV and full publication list
- an outline of no more than two pages of the proposed project
- a letter of support from the head of department, including a statement on your expected teaching/administrative load for the five-year period
- the approximate cost of the proposal, broken down into your salary, equipment and project running costs.
If successful, you will be invited to submit a full application.
Full applications must be submitted by the published deadlines. Late applications will not be accepted.
Applications are considered twice a year.
Next deadline:
18 July 2014: closing date for preliminary applications

A provocative look at social media that dispels the hype and tells you all you need to know about using the Web to expand your business
If you listen to the pundits, Internet gurus, marketing consultants, and even the mainstream media, you could think social media was the second coming. When it comes to business, they declare that it's revolutionizing advertising, PR, customer relations—everything. And they all agree: it is here to stay.
In this lively, insightful guide, journalist and social critic B.J. Mendelson skillfully debunks the myths of social media. He illustrates how the notion of "social media" first came to prominence, why it has become such a powerful presence in the marketing field, and who stands to benefit each time it's touted in the press. He shows you why all the Facebook friends and Twitter followers in the world mean nothing to you and your business without old-fashioned, real-world connections. He examines popular tales of social media "success," and reveals some unsettling truths behind the surface. And he tells you how to best harness the potential of the Internet—without spending a fortune in the process.
Social media is bullshit. This book gives the knowledge and tools you really need to connect with customers and grow your brand.
"B.J. isn't saying that all social media is worthless—he's saying far too much of the chatter and hype about it is. Read this book to hear from someone who actually knows what they're talking about." —Ryan Holiday, bestselling author of Trust Me I'm Lying and former Director of Marketing at American Apparel
"In his absorbing and provocative new book, Social Media is Bullshit, Mendelson, a former marketing guy, is pulling back the curtain on what happens when you're inveigled into having a 'social media presence' by people who, as luck would have it, will show you exactly how for an often exorbitant fee." —Chris Lombardo, The Toronto Star
"I've been telling everyone for years that social media is just the same bullshit we've always done sped up 1000 times. Finally someone's laid it all out in book form." —Drew Curtis, founder of Fark.com and author of It's Not News, It's FARK: How Mass Media Tries to Pass off Crap as News
"Passionate... This work should provide useful ammunition for readers skeptical about the new networks linking the people of the 21st century" —Publishers Weekly
"A thought-provoking counterpoint to the myriad books on the usefulness of social media for business promotion. Anyone interested in the true impact of social media will find it of interest." —Poppy Johnson-Renvall, Central New Mexico Comm. Coll., Albuquerque (Library Journal)
"This small book packs a welcome, refreshing punch." —Kirkus Review
"Social Media Is Bulls*** is common sense applied to hype, often in a very funny way. [...] If you enjoy watching bulls*** being taken apart, it's a great read." —Dan Seitz, Uproxx
"Thoughtful and provocative... If you're a social media junkie, read it and weep." —New York Journal of Books

Why humans feel insulted ?
being humans we often feel offended, abused or insulted , why we are feel so ? is it something natural which we inherit or is it something we develop ?
Aug 17 2012: I think we cant say exactly when/why a person feels insulted.It all depends upon the person attitude of behaviour.
If a person is generous enough,he wont feel insulted when a person doesnt accept his/her generousity.
If a person is egoist,he often feels offended/insulted when people dont go by his statements/purposes.
So, all i think is it completely depends upon the attitude of a person about how he takes the internal/external environment according to his protocols.

Aug 16 2012: Colleen, me too! You have to challenge the thinking behind the emotion of 'being insulted'. No-one can insult you if you choose to see what they say in a different way. Equally you can be insulted by every little thing that does not conform exactly to your world view. Basically to be or not to be insulted is up to you!
Aug 18 2012: Jeremy,
Are you suggesting that the act of intentionally insulting is taught? I believe that to be true in some cases.
The question is..."Why humans feel insulted ?being humans we often feel offended, abused or insulted , why we are feel so ? is it something natural which we inherit or is it something we develop ?"
So, do you also think/feel it is possible to learn to feel insulted? I also agree with this idea.
I'm just trying to clarify and understand your comment.....thanks:>)
Aug 18 2012: Absolutely we are a reflection of the world we live in... this is really going to mess with you but do you think insults started with a person in front of you today or when communication between two organisms started??? Then you could also perceive insullt as a collective reaction to the enviroment we live in... Does that make sense?? I believe it is both a reaction to the enviroment and inherited as well
Aug 19 2012: Jeremy,
I believe we are a reflection of the world in which we live, and we have many ways to act/react in our world.....there are choices....in my humble perception.
Why do you think an idea that you have will "mess" with me? The topic question is... "Why humans feel insulted ?" I interpret the question to be about humans, rather than some other "two organisms".
YOU can perceive "insult as a "collective reaction to the environment we live in" if you choose. I believe that as humans we have choices. No, what you are saying does not make sense....thanks for asking:>)
I agree with you that insult can be a reaction to the enviroment, as we perceive our individual environment, and it can also be a learned behavior/belief. Make any sense?
Aug 19 2012: And where does that perception come from?? Could it be that we are a collection of all our choices up until this point that all people are?? Then you could conclude that people are insulted because the enviroment in which they exist... Insult is a learned behavior therefore it is without a doubt both a inherited characteristic parent to child over generations as well as enviromental ie kids at school having strong beliefs that differ on the same subject... insult could be the reaction to another person's percecption that does not match our own when one organism's perception did not match anothers then insult was born passed over into humanity or through a apple if your a christian then down and down and down into humanity then down and down again through generations and generations until finally it reached you or me and the people around us now then since its a learned behavior we could chose whether to believe it or not
Aug 19 2012: Jeremy,
I believe our perceptions are influenced by our environment, or society, as you have suggested, by our parents, and learned, as you have suggested, by information we have taken in as humans and use in our thought/feeling process.
That being said, as thinking, feeling adults, we have choices regarding how we use the information......yes?
WOW!!! You certainly edited that post pretty drastically!!!
No, I do not conclude that people are insulted because of the the environment in which they exist. I believe that as thinking, feeling adults, we have choices.
No, I do not agree that insult was passed on to humans by way of an apple, nor do I believe the concept of "insult" has anything to do with being a christian.
I do agree with you that we can choose to feel insulted or not:>)
Aug 17 2012: First as I have often said .. No one can make you feel bad without your permission. Perhaps the need for acceptance is a big factor in feeling insulted. The perception that you have been rejected at some level and not allowed to join causes this "pain".
Our parents, family, and support groups see us differently than a new group or strangers. We may be a big fish in a little pond and then we move on and find out that we really are not all that we were led to believe by those who supported us. We might be the best player at our high school but when we move to college we cannot even make the team. That is a hugh let down and a shock to your ego. You may feel insulted and blame others for your failure to make the team, but at some point you will come to realize that the decision they made to cut you was correct. The problems come when people continue to dwell on the "failure" and not move on.
All the best. Bob.
Aug 17 2012: What if someone miscommunicated a idea or subject not today but farther back in time to you like they said the only good people in the world wear blue shirts soo your idea or belief was that blue shirts are good people and then you see a red shirted person and well you say hey red shirts arent normal to that person would you believe they may feel insulted?? This is just one example there are a infinite number of possible miscommunications and a infinite number more of possible situations sooo yeah i think miscommunication hjas a lot to do with insult. A lack of knowledge or understanding leads to a insult. The miscommunication between our enviroment (that is the people places and thing's) and all the sensory organs of our body as well as our body is what i should of said lol...
Aug 18 2012: Jeremy,
I believe miscommunication can be part of insult. One has to interpret the communication in a certain way to feel insulted.....yes?
To use your idea of red shirted/blue shirted person...
What if the red shirted person was perfectly content, confident and comfortable with the red shirt? Do you think it would matter as much what anyone said about it?
You say, which I agree with..."a lack of knowledge or understanding leads to a insult".
If the person "KNOWS" the red shirt is ok, and "UNDERSTANDS" that the other person is simply stating his/her personal preference, perhaps that red shirted person does not "CHOOSE" to be insulted?
Aug 16 2012: Two factors that contribute to how insulted one feels are pride and misunderstanding. It is, indeed, interesting at the variation among people in how readily they feel insulted, even when no insult was meant.
Part of this phenomenon is surely learned. That is, I believe some people may learn to interpret disagreement with them as a form of attack, while others who mature in a different milieu interpret disagreement as natural among independent-minded people whose different observations and experiences give them different perspectives.
Along the same lines, some people are insulted when people ask them clarifying questions.
Aug 16 2012: Fritzie,
If we depend on others for self image, wouldn't there be more possibility to be influenced/insulted?
I agree with most of what has been offered...ego...pride...misunderstanding...need to be "right"...
I believe that people who are more secure in themselves and their own self image, tend to accept different observations and perspectives as natural among independent-minded people. When we are secure in ourselves, we can evaluate what others are telling us, and do not need to choose to feel insulted.....yes? no? maybe?
Aug 17 2012: Thanks Fritzie,
That's how I function, and it's always worked pretty well for me. I don't need to feel "insulted" by someone else's perceptions. I consider the information and move on. Feeling "insulted" uses up too much energy that can be used more productively....in my humble opinion:>)
Aug 17 2012: Colleen,
I have gone through several comments on different topics of yours and in most of the comments you have stated the facts,behaviour,protocols that you have practised in your course of life.
Its rally inspiring and challenging since it really needs the zeal to set up the standards for a particular protocol that you want to adhere to in your course of life.
How do you do it..??
Aug 18 2012: Dear Chetan,
I always appreciate your feedback, and I LOVE to observe your exploration of the life experience.
To answer your question:
I have certain underlying very basic beliefs, which you have probably seen here on TED many times...
Life is an exploration.....about learning, growing, evolving....living in the present moment....what we focus on expands.....where attention goes, energy flows....if I'm not part of the solution, I'm part of the problem....
These are some of the ideas that are firmly implanted in my mind and heart, and everything filters through these very basic ideas. I live life mindfully aware in each and every moment with the intent to leave the earth a little better, even if only in the tiny space I occupy. I am at the same time, the observer as well as passionate participant in the life experience. Make any sense?
I am happy to expand, elaborate and discuss more if you wish:>)
I promise not to be insulted if you ask.......LOL:>) Have to keep us on topic:>)
