The NUS Living Lab project is a strategic initiative that will transform the University into a major testbed that aims to provide a platform for pilots and trials at a scale that has not been possible in the past. While the testbed infrastructure will facilitate such pilots and trials, this strategic initiative also presents ways to look at new and unique perspectives of outcomes that will be of impact and value to NUS.
This NUS Living Lab project proposes to strategically establish NUS as a major testbed for new innovations in applications and services that rides on the outcomes of ICT/IDM-related R&D generated within and outside NUS. It is also called NUS Living Lab testbed, leveraging on a backdrop of potentially rich set of innovative new applications and services that embraces fresh cutting-edge R&D assets and technologies that are relevant to a campus of the 21st century. The testbed shall also be a national resource that will enable both internal and external parties to test or trial their innovations. Indeed, no testbed facility of such magnitude exists in Singapore today, and its implementation will have important contributions and repercussions to the ICT/IDM R&D landscape in Singapore.
The NUS Living Lab will facilitate the emergence of an Intelligent Campus that integrates the latest technological advances to improve the quality of life of people who visit, work, study, and live on the University Campus. The Intelligent Campus will be a vibrant learning environment which enhances the way in which students interact with their peers and with faculty members.

The western gray whale is on the edge of extinction. There are probably fewer than 130 remaining with less than 26 breeding females. Every year, they come to feed off the coast of Sakhalin Island, Russia, but now a new oil platform threatens the survival of this critically endangered whale. Click here to sign the petition
We launched a whale on the river Thames this month. Not a real whale, we hasten to add, but an unmissable 11-metre replica, right in the heart of London. We did it to highlight the very real threats facing critically endangered western gray whales in eastern Russia. With perhaps fewer than 130 western grays left, we urgently need to protect their vital feeding grounds from a proposed new drilling platform near Sakhalin Island. We've made it easy for you to help right now by signing our petition to the funding banks involved - remind them they can be a force for good by opposing the new platform. And don't miss the gorgeous video of our Thames whale in action.

I'm a Purple Peacer
Purple Peace is a youth group that I formed in 2008. Our aims are to raise awareness of global issues that we feel passionate about, especially amongst young people. It can be anything from poverty, to climate change, to human rights, to the environment, and anything we feel that should be voiced out.
When I first established Purple Peace, I was 15 years old, now in the blink of an eye, I'm 19. Just like me, most Purple Peace members are students around 15 to 21 years old. So we have a good understanding of what young people want and need. It's not just 'adults' who can change the world, but (as cheesy as this is going to sound) us, as young people, as the future generation should work hard to change the world, to change what we see and know is wrong, to change the world for the better, but not only for us, and also for the next generation.

Restful retreat
Our entire family went to Sweetwater Castle to celebrate our retirement. Quiet, spacious with the most complete kitchen you could find even booster chair and plastic plates for our 2yr old granddaughter. The beach was perfect and the owner set up a bonfire one night for smores and marshmallow roasting. We enjoyed the ping pong table and the yard was large enough to play croquet. We would do it all again in a heartbeat.
Good Times!
Very clean, beautifully appointed property with gorgeous patio/outdoor area and great view. No AC, but good breezes and great fans. Would definitely stay there again.
Rain or Shine - This house is FINE!
We happened to stay at this property during one of the worst storms in San Diego history, but that did not prevent us from having the most wonderful time in this home. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 adults. The pool and hot tub are fabulous, even in the pouring rain! The city views from the upstairs balcony is truly exceptional. Best of all, Bruce and Susan are wonderful Property Managers. We had a small issue with the cable (user error!) and Bruce was right there to fix the problem. This property is so wonderfully comfortable, we didn't want to leave the house at all to sightsee. A stay in this house really is Point Loma Paradise. We can't wait to come back.

Is It Necessary To Plan A Funeral?
Funeral customs and trends have changed a lot in recent years. One of the main reasons behind such chances is the increasing popularity of cremation over burial. It is true that in the US, the rate of cremation is increasing rapidly.
In fact, as per the research done by Cremation Association of North America, the national average cremation rate was just 3.56% in the year 1960 and in 201o the rate increased to 40.62%. Also certain estimations are made by the Cremation Association of North America that the overall cremation rate in the US will increase to 44.42% in 2015 and by the year 2025 the rate will be 55.65%. With the popularity of cremation, people are undermining the importance and significance of funeral services in our society.
With direct cremation there is no need of viewing, embalming, or other similar preparations. But when it comes to burial, special arrangements regarding viewing and embalming of the dead body need to be taken care of. Due to all these special arrangements the cost of funeral becomes very high. According to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission a traditional funeral will cost about $6,000, and with additional services and the cost can be much higher. The cost of the burial or cremation is additional. This is also one reason why people opt for direct cremation and later one plan a simple memorial service.
In spite of all these reasons, it is important to plan a funeral as without a funeral service, the family members, relatives and close friends of the deceased will get a chance to say a final good-bye to a loved one. A funeral is also an important step in the grieving process. It is not that the deceases is getting a tribute through such services, it is a service for the survivors also who are currently facing the trauma of losing a loved one. When people known to the deceased attend the funeral, it helps the immediate family members of the deceased in the healing process. Also, a funeral ceremony honors and celebrates the life of the deceased by sharing memories. During a funeral, the overall environment becomes caring and supportive where people share their thoughts and feelings about the death. The fact that the deceased was loved and appreciated by the society also gives a sense of comfort and support. It also offers an opportunity for all the people present there to pay their last tribute to the loved one.
Also as funeral service is a ceremony that takes place with the body of the deceased present, it allows people to face the truth in a more concise manner. Those who find it difficult in accepting death as a natural part of life often face problems and it does allow them to lead a truly enriched life. It becomes really difficult for many to accept the truth that someone close to them has died until they see the dead body with their own eyes. So, it becomes very essential to plan a funeral service.
Planning a funeral for a loved is a very challenging task. But with the help of a funeral home you can plan it in a very simple and cost effective manner. When a comparison is done of the services and costs offered by funeral homes, can help you to come up with the best solutions. The funeral directors are always there to assist you in your planning. You can plan a funeral in a funeral home's chapel, church, graveside, and crematorium or in a special location you select depending upon your budget, religious beliefs and customs. No matter what type of service you choose, always keep in mind that you can always choose what works for your particular needs. You can always find funeral directors ready to answer your questions, and help you to make all the necessary arrangements within your budget.
To conclude, funeral services have religious, deep spiritual and philosophical significance. So it becomes very essential to plan a funeral service in the honor of the deceased. But if a funeral service is not possible immediate after the death of the deceased, then you can always plan a memorial service after the cremation process is over. A memorial service can be planned with or without the ashes of the deceased.

DETROIT -- The Phoenix Coyotes were looking for a bounce-back game, and they got it.
Michael Stone's goal with 4:47 left broke a tie, and the Coyotes beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Thursday night.
Phoenix was coming off 4-1 and 6-1 losses at San Jose and the New York Islanders to begin a five-game road trip.
"We figured out what we have to do to be in a hockey game," said Mike Smith, who made 28 saves.
Derek Morris and Antoine Vermette both had a goal and an assist, and Mikkel Boedker also scored for Phoenix (see full recap).
Hurricanes get help from Gerbe
WASHINGTON -- It sure didn't take long for Nathan Gerbe to make his presence felt with his new team, the Carolina Hurricanes.
Gerbe's third goal in four games broke a tie at 6:59 of the third period, and Anton Khudobin stopped 30 shots as the Hurricanes beat the Washington Capitals 3-2 Thursday night.
Signed as a free agent in July following five unspectacular seasons with Buffalo, Gerbe has helped Carolina get off to a 2-1-1 start. He gives much of the credit to teammates Jordan Staal and Patrick Dwyer (see full recap).
Avalanche shut out Bruins
BOSTON -- Everything seems to be going right for the Colorado Avalanche so far this season, and new coach Patrick Roy is setting the tone.
Jean-Sebastien Giguere made 39 saves in his 37th NHL shutout, and the Avalanche stayed perfect with a 2-0 victory over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.
"The whole mentality is changing, our whole attitude," Giguere said. "We seem to believe in ourselves a little bit more. It is a different voice, and the guys seem to be responding to it right now."
The Avalanche are 4-0 under Roy, their best mark since the franchise relocated from Quebec to Colorado for the 1995-96 season (see full recap).

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I've taken a class in the history of fashion (heterosexual male looking for a college requirement here!) and one thing I learned was that men and women regularly fluctuate between being the "Peacock" in terms of sexual role/attraction.
Today, women are frilly and thin and dress up for men as the fashionable stereotype goes.
But there have been times when plump or muscular, practical women were preferred while men were to be emaciated, immaculate groomed, wear make up, wigs and frills and lace to impress women.
This idea has the advantage of being politically correct to make fun of in today's society and I don't think it's a slight against homosexuality at all -- although some highly effeminate homosexuals (and heterosexuals) will be made fun of it. On one hand, it's "incorrect" for a man to act "girly" from a conservative standpoint. However, from a progressive standpoint, it's also wrong because it speaks to a form of inequality where men rely on women to do their heavy lifting for them, thus not being gender equitable.
Most gay men *I* know are not only not terribly effeminate but most of them make fun of men who are, straight or gay. A number of prominent gay comedy acts very actively make fun of (and distance homosexuality from) the efete, metrosexual male stereotype and often, invoking gender humor, make fun of men who are frilly and make MERCILESS fun of transvestites.
In fact, most transvestites are straight. Straight men are often more likely to be effeminate in more aspects of their lives. Some studies indicate that gay men tend to have higher testosterone, more masculine features -- shown by finger lengths and are naturally hairier. The current thought is that homosexuals of both genders are hyper masculine biologically and that any feminine traits are more sociological.
In this case, I think it's a case of Blizzard playing with the idea of Horde not only getting a PRETTY race but getting the PRETTIEST race (including pretty men). Also, it's a play on the stereotypical androgynous depictions of elves and nymphs AND a sort of twisted reflection on the Night Elves' matriarchal warrior women who run society and their laid back hippie dudes to make the blood elves a society of fierce, aristocratic women with flamboyant men who'd never dream of chipping a nail.
B'Elf males may face the same attacks as gay males and some of the unwashed masses may confuse them. The difference is that gay men like sex with men (the only real, defining characteristic) whereas Blood Elf males are more like a bunch of frilly eyebrow-plucking Victorian aristocrats who believe that men are supposed to be better groomed, prettier and less hands on or likely to get dirty than women are.

As I followed the reactions in the wake of Mikel Leshoure's season ending achilles injury, I found they generally fell in one of two groups. One, an immediate entrance into the freak out zone and two, disappointment for Leshoure coupled with a vote of confidence for Maurice Morris.
I would put myself with those in group number two but that doesn't mean I'm not glad the Lions brought Mike Bell and Jerome Harrison into camp.
Jahvid Best is healthy and Maurice Morris showed an ability to fill in when needed last season. The two could hold down the running back duties for the 2011 season but I'm not comfortable with the lack of depth behind them. Why should a team that planned on a Best-Leshoure-Morris trio stand pat after it suddenly became a Best-Morris duo? Bell or Harrison can't be viewed as a direct replacement for Mikel Leshoure but one may prove to be adequate depth on the roster.
Mike Bell made a name for himself by running for 677 yards (4.2 yards/carry) and eight touchdowns as an undrafted rookie for the Denver Broncos in 2006. Unfortunately, Bell hasn't posted a rushing average over 4 yards per carry since. He may be a competent body to run with the second or third team offense in the preseason but he isn't the guy I'm most interested to see of the two the Lions brought in today.
That brings us to Jerome Harrison – the man that broke the Cleveland Browns' single game rushing record. That record was previously held by Jim Brown, perhaps you've heard of him. You know, the guy that Barry Sanders' own father said was the best running back in the history of the NFL. Let me be clear, the Lions aren't getting a future Hall of Famer with Harrison but he's shown an ability to pick up yards in chunks.
A rough start to the 2010 season led the Browns to trade Harrison to the Philadelphia Eagles (for Mike Bell, ironically enough) where he played in eight games and posted a 6.0 yards per carry average. For his career, Harrison has gained 1,640 yards on 342 carries, good enough for an average of 4.8 yards each time he takes a handoff.
Harrison has mostly played in limited spots so far but the good news is that the Lions have the luxury of using him in the same way. Harrison, or Bell for that matter, won't be the savior of the Lions' offense but we need to remember that Mikel Leshoure was meant as a compliment as well.

April 26th is the date when intellectual property (IP) practitioners around the world gather to recognize the global intellectual property system and the role it plays in stimulating creativity and innovation. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) decided back in 2000 to designate a date to help global citizens learn more about the impact patents, trademarks and copyrights have on their lives and their nation's economy.
Any organization can set up its own IP Day. Typically it is government agencies, like patent and trademark offices, or universities, which host their country's activities. WIPO encourages organizations in nations as varied as Saudi Arabia, Vietnam and Estonia to host events. The organization provides promotional tools and suggests activities, but leaves the actual management of the events up to each host. WIPO also provides a list of activities it recognizes. Click here to find out what events may be taking place in your hometown: http://www.wipo.int/ip-outreach/en/ipday/2009/activities.html. But this list is not complete. You may want to Google "World IP Day 2009" along with your city or country to find out what's going on locally.
I plan to attend an event here in Washington hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Association of European Chambers of Commerce on April 27 & 28. http://www.ipr-policy.eu/web/conference. This year they are focusing on two themes: "US and EU approaches to protecting IP" and "Communicating the Value of IP." John Tarpey of WIPO and Richard Maulsby of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will be participating. Too bad I can't be in Jamaica on April 24th for its Creativity Expo featuring prominent local musicians.
Officially, green is the theme of this year's IP Day. WIPO is promoting the role IP plays in advancing clean technologies, green design, and green branding. But a review of global IP Day activities reveals that most countries have developed their own agendas off the official theme. Regardless, WIPO and other organizations have put out quality articles on green IP, the topic of my next entry.

During concussion forum, Bears forced to tip-toe around Brian Urlacher's statements
BY MARK POTASH firstname.lastname@example.com February 15, 2012 8:46PM
Brian Urlacher
Updated: March 17, 2012 10:27AM
The Bears, taking a proactive role in trying to ''change the culture'' of concussion awareness and treatment at all levels of football, hosted a forum for high-school players and coaches on that hot-button issue Wednesday at Halas Hall.
If only Brian Urlacher could have been there — not as the featured speaker, but as the featured listener.
The Bears' noble effort was well-received by the coaches and players. But Bears chairman George McCaskey also had to tip-toe around the fact that the ''face of the franchise'' recently extolled the very attitude the team is committed to eradicating.
Urlacher made headlines last month when he told HBO's Real Sports that he would do everything he could to avoid being diagnosed with a concussion.
''If I have a concussion these days, I'm going to say something happened to my toe or knee just to get my bearings for a few plays,'' Urlacher said. ''I'm not going to sit in there and say I got a concussion. I can't go in the rest of the game.' ''
Asked about Urlacher's comments after the forum, McCaskey avoided chastising his star player.
''Brian responded honestly about how he would approach the situation — and he hasn't had a concussion that I'm aware of,'' McCaskey said. ''He was just talking about a hypothetical situation. By his own admission, maybe not the wisest course of action. But that shows his desire and that shows a mentality.
''We're talking about the difference between adult brain recovery and youth brain recovery. People at [the high-school level] need to be much more cautious.''
That was the message Bears long snapper Pat Mannelly imparted on the audience, but it was one Urlacher might heed as well.
''We need to change the culture of concussions. We know the severity of it [now],'' Mannelly said. ''You don't want to be a wimp. It's a tough sport. [But] it's not all about Friday and Saturday night. It's your life. I understand [football] is important. But life is much more important than that.''

Crashes prompt closure on I-93
Rescue crews work at the scene of a 17-car pileup south of Exit 23 on Interstate 93 Saturday afternoon. (Dan Seufert/Union Leader Correspondent)
NEW HAMPTON - A chain-reaction accident involving at least a dozen motor vehicles on Interstate 93 north closed a section of the highway near Exit 23 for about two hours Saturday afternoon as snow made the highway treacherous, according to authorities.
A separate six-car collision was reported just to the south, and another crash occurred just to the north of Exit 23, Fire Chief Mike Drake said.
One report said 17 vehicles were involved in the biggest crash, but state police reported the largest accident involved 12 vehicles on both sides of the highway just before 12:30 p.m., with additional accident scenes between Exits 22 and 23 in Sanbornton.
State police also reported other vehicles off the roadway, but didn't say how many total were involved.
No one was seriously hurt. Five people were taken by ambulance to local hospitals and later released, state police said.
"The conditions were treacherous, there was very low visibility," Drake said. "This storm seems worse than the (Thursday) storm that wasn't so bad."
For a period, traffic was rerouted via Route 132. I-93 was reopened about 2:20 p.m.
One driver involved in the biggest crash, who asked not to be identified, said his car was towed away. He stood outside a gas station near Exit 23, waiting for a ride.
"It all happened so fast, and then I got hit and all these cars were all over the road," he said.
He said he was on his way to his home in Madison.

Service providers are modernizing their legacy networks by moving to an all-IP based infrastructure due to:
BroadSoft offers two different solutions tailored for the individual carrier's business needs.
To prolong the life of Class 5 switches, BroadSoft offers a solution called Class 5 Overlay, or TDM Overlay. Class 5 switches' call processing is re-homed to the BroadWorks platform, while the Class 5 switch continues to provide connectivity to the legacy subscribers. This enables service providers to deliver enhanced feature sets, fixed mobile convergence (FMC) applications, and Web 2.0 voice mash-ups to legacy subscribers, without requiring broadband access.

Map of TamrielTalk5
this wiki
- Main article: Cyrodiil
Cyrodiil is the home of one of the four Races of Men: the Imperials. It is located in the heart of the continent. It serves as the capital of the many Empires since the First Era. Cyrodiil is covered largely by forests in the interior; humid marshes south of the Lower Niben; vineyards and farmsteads surrounding County Skingrad; the rolling amber hills of the Gold Coast to the west; and jagged highlands and tundra of the Jerall and Valus Mountains to the north and east. The capital city, the Imperial City and White Gold Tower, is located on the City Isle in the middle of Lake Rumare. It is the heart of the Imperial Empire and the seat of the Emperor's power and the Elder Council.
- Main article: Morrowind
Formerly Resdayn, Morrowind is the home of the Dunmer (Dark Elves) and is located in the north-east corner of Tamriel.It consists of Mainland Morrowind, where the capital city of Mournhold is located, as well as the ruling political body therein, and the large isle of Vvardenfell where the volcano Red Mountain dominates the landscape. Vvardenfell in particular has a very diverse topography ranging from the marshes of the Sheogorad region and the dense tropical mushroom forests of the Ascadian Isles to the rolling, golden plains of the Grazelands and the choking dust, harsh winds, and ash storms of the volcanic Ashlands region which dominates the center of the island. Morrowind as a whole is famous for its unusual flora and fauna, in particular the giant insectoid and arthropodan life and towering fungal growths.
- Main article: Skyrim
The original home of Men in Tamriel, Skyrim is located in the frigid north of Tamriel, between Morrowind and High Rock, and is the home of the oldest race of men, the Nords. Skyrim is a rugged, harsh, and unforgiving place of snow-capped, jagged mountains and wind-blasted ice fields standing in contrast to the verdant forests of the Rift and Falkreath Holds. The Fourth Era saw a dramatic change to Skyrim's northern coast during The Great Collapse of Winterhold when the glacier on which the capital city was built shattered and fell into the sea, taking much of the city with it. The College of Winterhold was unharmed however, and this has fostered a great deal of anger, suspicion, and resentment between the local Nords and the College Mages who insist they had nothing to do with the Collapse. The fact that the Nords have continued to dwell here is testament to their resilience and fortitude.
Black MarshEdit
- Main article: Black Marsh
Called Argonia by its inhabitants, Black Marsh is home to the reptilian race of the Argonians. It is located in the south-eastern corner of Tamriel and is covered by vast, festering marshes, rainforests, waterways, and immense, impenetrable forests of Hist and mangrove trees. Due to the topography of the land, travel of any distance is difficult for seemingly anyone that isn't Argonian which is a definite factor as to why Black Marsh has never been successfully invaded or mapped. Many cities of Black Marsh, such as Gideon, were originally founded by the Ayleids. Little else is known about this mysterious and ill-documented place.
- Main article: Elsweyr
Elsweyr is the home of the feline race of the Khajiit and is located in the south of Tamriel, between the Provinces of Cyrodiil and Valenwood. Elsweyr is, for the most part, a desert land with majestic, rolling dunescapes and sun-drenched dust plains in the interior and thick forests and jungle surrounding it along its borders with Cyrodiil and Valenwood, with the Tenmar Forest covering a large area in the south of the Province.
- Main article: Valenwood
The ancestral homeland of the Bosmer (Wood Elves). It is located in the south-western corner of Tamriel, west of Elsweyr. Valenwood, as its name suggests, is a land covered, for the most part, by forests.The topography is hilly and the west coast is choked by seemingly endless mangrove forests and tropical rainforests.The largest Bosmer villages and cities are built high in the boughs of ancient migratory trees which have the ability to move the settlements, in their entirety, wherever they venture.
Summerset IslesEdit
- Main article: Summerset Isles
Located in the Abecean Sea, the Isles are the home of the Altmer (High Elves). The main Isle, called Summerset and home of the capitol city of Alinor, and the smaller Isle of Auridon are verdant landscapes dotted with towns and cities of ancient mansions and enchanted towers, similar to those of the Telvanni mages of Vvardenfell, Morrowind. The Isles also include the island of Artaeum, home of the Psijic Order, and are also home to the Crystal Tower.
- Main article: Hammerfell
High RockEdit
- Main article: High Rock
Located in the north-west corner of the continent, west of Skyrim, the homeland of the third race of Men, the Bretons. High Rock is a land with a cool, calm climate and rolling hills covered in heather which flow to the foothills of the Wrothgarian Mountains and the plateaus of North Kambria. High Rock is a land that is no stranger to battle. The warlords of various Breton clans and houses have been at war on and off for thousands of years. Notable cities include Daggerfall and Wayrest. The Adamantine Tower sits on an island called Balfiera in Illiac Bay.

Spacetime Studios Announce Free-to-Play Android, iOS Strategy Game Battle Dragons
Posted on July 9, 2013 AT 11:27am
Mobile MMO developer Spacetime Studios has announced their first foray into strategy games, Battle Dragons.
As far as strategy games go, Battle Dragons is pretty straightforward: collect resources, fortify bases, engage in warfare. Battle Dragons features over 10 different types of "booty-kickin' Dragon units that will raid and ravage at your command."
Spacetime's other titles—Arcade Legends, Pocket Legends, and Star Legends—are all free-to-play (monetized through microtransactions), so expect the same from Battle Dragons.
Battle Dragons is already available for download on Android devices in Canada and Australia, and will launch elsewhere for Android devices later this month. The iOS launch is slated for early August.
Check out a short trailer for Battle Dragons below.

My friends Meg Liffick and Joe Ball got married yesterday.
When it came time for the couple's traditional first dance, Joe read prepared remarks explaining that instead of dancing together, they wanted to open the dance floor to their gay and lesbian friends who are still legally denied the right to marry.
This was a large and very diverse wedding in a state that doesn't even recognize same-sex civil unions, let alone marriage. And yet the ovation that these people received while dancing to The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" was like nothing I've ever heard at any wedding. If there were dry eyes, I didn't see any.
Change is coming.

Mixing It Up
Is it OK to speak your native language in the lab? To look someone directly in the eye? To ask someone, when English is your second language, to repeat those complicated directions?
"Conflict comes when you don't know others' culture or traditions," says Ferrer, a native of the Philippines who has worked at Hopkins Hospital for seven years under a visa.
Ferrer and Arden Bongco, a fellow countryman who supervises day-shift technicians, have taken it upon themselves to foster cultural understanding. With help from assistants Wanda Smith and Rhonda Cole, they've organized pot-luck dinners for lab workers to bring dishes from their native lands. Lydia Nelson, another supervisor, set aside days when employees don the garb of their home countries. Expanding on the Core Lab's activities, Pathology this winter brought in a consultant to train about 80 lead personnel in communication skills and cross-cultural interaction.
Undertakings like these could become increasingly commonplace as Hopkins Medicine embarks on an ambitious initiative to enhance diversity throughout the organization. The JHM Diversity Committee, formed in April and led by George Dover, director of the Children's Center, and Pamela Paulk, Health System VP for Human Resources, aims for nothing less than changing the culture to include everyone with a contribution to make.
For Hopkins to maintain its leadership position, it must recruit, retain and promote more women, underrepresented minorities and people of otherwise diverse backgrounds. "Today, the talent pool is worldwide, so we have to recruit worldwide talent, whether it's in Baltimore or Bangladesh, Dundalk or Dubai," says Dean/CEO Edward Miller.
Hopkins has made strides in recent years. Four years ago, underrepresented minorities made up less than 1 percent of the Department of Medicine's Osler housestaff, for example. Today, thanks in part to changes in how the department advertises and interviews for positions, nearly 20 percent of Osler residents are minorities.
Yet there is room for improvement. On average, nearly 15 percent of Hopkins medical students are underrepresented minorities, but only 3 percent of the faculty is minority—a number not uncommon among peer institutions. Last year, a survey of School of Medicine faculty found that while 70 percent of nonminority faculty believed they would be at Hopkins in five years, just 40 percent of minority faculty felt that way. Minorities often reported seeing few role models for success and felt that they were left out of Hopkins' important social networks.
Hopkins researchers behind the survey recommended better recruitment efforts, networking opportunities, mentoring programs and a retention program that integrates faculty into social networks. Strategies like these could be pursued—some already are—as plans take shape.
A chief goal is to develop a body of healt care workers who are more representative of, and sensitive to, the patient population. Pathology, for one, is already moving in this direction. Recently, for example, the department sent a Spanish-speaking phlebotomist to a lab outreach site in the Bayview community, where the increasingly Latino patient population responded with enthusiasm.
Certainly, such pockets of progress exist throughout the organization, says Dover, and hopefully they will spread. Already, departments have submitted strategic plans for the next budget year, beginning July 1, that outline how they'll improve diversity.

I like it! It looks great on the table and tastes just as good. I added a little sugar to the dressing to tone down the balalmic vineger just a tad. I also put some dried parsley into the dressing to dress it up a bit and so it would stick to the scewers like it does in the picture.

Stuck in Reality
'Bachelorette' Ashley Hebert & Fiance J.P. Rosenbaum Set a Bad Example
Heartsick over all the Bachelor and Bachelorette relationships that have gone bust? No need to totally despair. The bloom isn't off the rose for one couple. Ashley Hebert and fiance J.P. Rosenbaum are still going strong.
The pair, who fell for each other in season 7 of the Bachelorette, are in it for the long haul. It's shocking I know. Many of you don't buy that these romances are for real. Well, this one is and we have the proof.
Ashley and J.P. are set to wed in one month and sources tell Us Weekly they just picked out their wedding bands at Neil Lane in L.A. "They walked in holding hands and smiling," a witness told the magazine. "Ashley stood with her arms resting over his shoulders. And he gave her a tender kiss." No details on what the bands look like, but I am sure whatever the design, Ashley's will go nicely with the 3.5-carat, cushion-cut diamond he slipped on her finger in Fiji during the May 2011 finale.
The big day will be filmed for an ABC wedding special, of course. They will soon join that small minority of show alums (Trista Rehn and Ryan Sutter and Jason Mesnick and Molly Malaney) who actually made it down the aisle. Just one problem: they make the fairytale look possible, even though for most people being on the show is a total disaster. You end up looking evil, conniving, crazy or like the biggest a$$hole to ever walk the earth.
Still, I have no doubt countless other men and women will desperately try to follow in their footsteps. Hundreds will join the fray for many seasons to come only to leave semi-famous and brokenhearted. We fans, of course, will delight in the tears, backstabbing, and Fantasy Suite hijinks, but truth of the matter is, it's not about love. Though I have to admit, three solid matches after 25 combined seasons ain't so bad. It's not like the odds are that much better in the real world!
Are you surprised Ashley and J.P. have lasted?

Make 2 macros.
Macro 1 has a castsequence of Hammer of the Righteous and Shield of Rightousness. (the "6" abilities).
Macro 2 has a castsequence of Holy Shield, Consecrate, and Judgement of Wisdom/Light (the "9" abilities).
Now you don't have to worry about your rotation other than alternate between the two macros.
Keep the individual skills hot-keyed so you can use them out of sequence or skip one, etc., but for tank-and-spank fights, the macros are great.
If you are new to tanking, then you need all the focus you can give to keeping track of what's going on in the fight. If you keybind those macros next to eachother, you can literally just mash away both keys and it will maintain a 969 rotation while you keep your eyes on the mobs you are tanking.
I don't recommend this for all situiations, obviously, but if you're just starting out it will help you dedicate more of your brain time to what you are doing instead of how you are doing it.
The other thing I found handy is to bind a Hand of Reckoning macro to a mouse button (target = mouseover), so I can pick up any strays with one click.

Summary: Harry Styles is just one of those losers at high school while Niall Horan is the complete opposite, one of the 'cool' and popular students blah blah blah
Telling you something about these two people right now wouldn't be interesting at all.
The only thing which is interesting is what will happen if these two teenage boys, from different 'worlds', are stuck with each other because of some drunken mistake.
All Chapters - Wattpad
When Niall got out of the toilet cabin, he definitely didn't expect to see a certain curly haired boy at the sinks with his back facing him.
There was a short moment when their gazes met in the mirror and the blonde boy saw how miserable the younger one looked. Dark bags under Harry's usually beautiful green eyes made them seem kind of lifeless now; his usually soft looking curly brown hair was flat and wet against his forehead.
All in all, the brown haired boy simply seemed ill and as he suddenly started to fall on the ground, probably because he had blacked out, Niall quickly made his way to Harry to catch him, making sure that he didn't hurt his head at the sinks or at the ground.
The blonde boy carefully put the younger one's head on his lap, putting some of the wet curls from Harry's sweaty forehead before he softly slapped his cheek, trying to wake him up.
"Harry? Harry, wake up." Niall said with concern in his voice and as he didn't get any response from the curly haired lad he laid his ear onto his chest to see if he was still breathing and if his heart was still beating. Niall let out a sigh of relief when he was sure that Harry was still alive before he looked around the restroom. To his disappointment, he saw that the two boys were the only ones in the room.
For a while, Niall was debating with himself what he was going to do now before he put his arms under Harry's back and knees and stood up, carrying the curly haired lad bridal style. The blonde boy stared at Harry's pale face before he started to walk to then exit. Somehow, Niall managed to open the door without letting the boy in his arms fall and got out of the sticky restroom, just to be met by students walking up and down the corridors.
Still not quite sure what to do, the blonde boy looked around until he was suddenly met by familiar brown eyes which belonged to a guy that stood next to the boy's restroom entrance. Niall knew that the brunette boy was Harry's best mate but unfortunately he had forgotten his name. Again.
The brunette boy's eyes widened as he saw his best friend in the arms of Niall but when he looked up to the blonde boy's face they were filled with anger. "What did you do to him?" He asked through gritted teeth.
Niall wasn't shocked about the reaction he got from the boy in front of him. "I swear, I did nothing. I had gotten out of the cabin just to see how he blacked out. I tried to wake him up but it wouldn't work. He's still breathing though." The blonde boy defended himself.
The guy in front of him seemed to think about whether to believe what Niall had said or not before he made a few steps towards him. "Give him to me." The brunette boy demanded as he took Harry out of the blonde's arms.
"What are you going to do now?" Niall asked as the brunette guy was about to leave with his friend in his arms, and in the corner of his eye he saw that a few students had stopped walking to watch the scenario in front of them.
"Since when do you care about him?" Harry's friend spat before he walked away, still carrying the curly haired lad and leaving Niall standing there alone, watched by curious students.
To say that Liam was shocked as he had seen Niall Horan coming out of the restroom with his unconscious best friend in his arms would be an understatement. He had thought that Niall had hurt his friend again, only this time physically, but after he heard the blonde's explanation he believed him and calmed down a little bit, being more worried about his best friend.
The whole school day, hell even the whole week, Harry had seemed to pass out any second so it wasn't such a surprise to the brunette boy that, after all, it had actually happened.
Liam rushed past staring students out of the school building, his aim the car park where his old black pickup, a Chevrolet Cameo, stood that he got from his parents for his last birthday. It wasn't the best car, since it was kind of old but Liam's father had gotten it from a friend for a fair prize. The brunette boy was proud of his old pickup, even though it sometimes made strange noises and people made fun of the 'pile of junk' or how they liked to call it. Liam simply didn't care about what other people thought.
Still with his friend in his arms, he left the school building and rushed to his car, but not without checking on Harry from time to time. Liam was halfway at his pickup when he suddenly felt his best friend move in his arms. "Liam? What are you doing?" He heard Harry's voice ask him. The brunette boy slowed his pace and looked down at his best friend who was looking at him with furrowed eyebrows.
"According to Niall Horan's words you blacked out, which doesn't sound that odd remembering your appearance the last few days." Liam told him.
Harry's eyes went wide in interest. "Niall Horan?"
The brunette boy just rolled his eyes. "Of course, that would be the only thing you cared about. And to answer your question: yeah, Niall Horan. I was waiting for you to come out of the restroom when suddenly he stood there instead, with you in his arms."
Harry's whole face went red. "He…he carried me?"
"Yeah just like I do now." Liam explained in annoyance. He really had enough of Niall Horan; this boy had already caused enough problems.
"By the way, Li." The brunette boy heard his friend say as he was looking at where he was going again.
"Why are you still carrying me? And where are you going?" Harry asked.
Liam just kept walking, showing no sign of letting Harry go anytime soon. "I'm going to the doctor with you." He simply answered.
"What? No! I don't want to go to the doctor, I'm feeling a lot better now, I swear." The curly haired boy let out and tried to get out of Liam's arms, but to his disappointment the brunette boy was just too strong.
"Well it's either the doctor or that creepy school nurse, it's your choice." Liam stopped walking and was about to turn around to walk back to the school but the curly haired boy stopped him.
"No! Don't bring me to her, she scares me!" Harry yelled.
The brunette boy let out a laugh at that before he started to walk to his previous aim again. "That's what I thought." Finally the two boys had arrived at Liam's pickup and the boy somehow managed to get his keys out of his pocket and open the car without having to put his best friend on the ground. He put the curly haired lad in the seat and even buckled his seat belt for him, as if Harry was a child.
"Can't you just bring me home?" Harry asked with an annoyed tone.
Liam simply shut the door and walked over to the driver's side before he opened the one and sat behind the wheel. "No. I won't get you home without having you checked by someone." The brunette boy explained before he shut his door and started the car, driving out of the parking lot.
Harry rolled his eyes in annoyance. "Li, you do know that you still have school, right?"
"Haz." The brunette boy mocked his best friend. "You do know that I don't care, right?"
The curly haired lad let out a sigh of frustration and leaned against the window, crossing his arms over his chest and watching houses and trees passing by.
For the rest of the drive, both boys stayed silent and didn't say anything to each other until the car suddenly stopped and Liam told Harry that they had arrived at the doctor.
Exhausted from what had happened this morning, the curly haired boy got out of the pickup and held one hand against his stomach which was still hurting. Telling Liam that he felt a lot better, was just so that the brunette boy didn't bring him to the doctor but it wasn't the actual truth. The cramps weren't that strong but they hadn't stopped completely and he could still feel them.
The two boys walked into the building and to the reception where Liam did everything and explained the situation. The receptionist told them to sit down in the waiting room and to wait for somebody to call Harry's name.
The friends entered the room and took their seats next to each other at the window side. Both boys were still silent since nobody felt like talking at the moment but Liam, being the caring friend he was, of course had to check if Harry was feeling well.
"Hey Haz. How are you feeling?" The brunette boy asked.
Harry debated with himself whether he should tell Liam the truth or not but eventually kept in mind that he was supposed to tell his best friend everything. "To be honest, I feel like shit. I have slight cramps, my head hurts and I just want to sleep." The curly haired boy complained and had to stop himself from bursting out in tears. He really felt like crying right now.
"Aw Haz." Liam let out and laid and arm around his best friend, holding him against himself so that Harry's head could rest on the brunette's shoulder. "I'm kinda shocked that you didn't tell me any of this 'I'm okay so stop worrying shit' and told me the truth for once." Liam said jokingly and chuckled.
"Oh shut up you." Harry let out but had to join in laughing slightly.
The two friends stayed in this position for quite a while in a comfortable silence this time before a young blonde woman appeared in the entrance of the waiting room calling the curly's name. "Harry Styles?"
Both boys' heads shot up and Harry let out a cracked. "Here." The friends followed the friendly woman into a room where she told Harry to sit down on the leather bed and Liam to take a seat on some chair in the corner of the room. "Dr. Geller will be here any second." The woman told them before she left the room again, leaving the two boys alone.
The friends sat there in silence until the door was opened and a man with a friendly smile and slight grey hair entered. The grey hair didn't mean that the man, who was probably the doctor, looked old because he still looked quite young and was probably in the early forties.
"Good morning, boys." The man smiled at both of them before he shook everyone's hand. "I'm Dr. Geller. And you are probably Harry Styles." He said smiling at the curly haired boy.
"Uhh yeah, that's me. And that's my friend Liam Payne." Harry explained pointing at his best friend who just nodded at the doctor.
"So…" The man began speaking. "What's the matter Harry?" He asked.
The curly haired boy nervously looked at his hands on his lap before he lifted his head again to look at the doc. "Well one week ago, these strong cramps started which I have still right now, but not as strong. Uhm I can't keep any food down since then, since I have to vomit a lot lately, especially in the mornings, so I basically feel sick a lot the past few days. And uhm sometimes I have these slight headaches." As Harry saw Dr. Geller only nodding he kept rambling. "It's probably just the flu, but Liam here insisted of bringing me to the doctor."
"Doc…You should probably know that Harry here blacked out in the school today after he kept looking like shit the last week." Liam interrupted his best friend.
"Thanks for the nice words." Harry said sarcastically whereupon Liam just grinned.
Dr. Geller just ignored the two boys. "Well that's why we are here, to find out what's wrong with you, Harry." The man gave Harry a small smile before he rolled in front of him with his stool. "I will just check the usual stuff first. If you could please take your shirt off."
Harry obeyed and quickly pulled his shirt off, not being a bit embarrassed that his friend could see him half naked now. The two boys were friends since pre-school and have already seen a lot of each other. Although Harry was gay and Liam wasn't sure about his sexuality yet there had never been any more than friends feelings between them and the curly haired boy was glad about that. Of course they both joked sometimes about such stuff but both boys knew that neither of them meant it serious.
Like Dr. Geller had said, he checked the usual stuff on Harry and soon rolled back to his previous seat whereupon the curly haired lad put his shirt on again. "So Harry, I personally doubt that you have the flu, but I have been looking through your file here and I have a guess what your matter is. Before I'm telling you anything though, I first need your urine sample so that I can make a few tests." The doctor handed Harry a little cup. "When you finished you can give this to the reception and take a seat in the waiting room with your friend here. These tests won't take long."
They all exited the room before Harry disappeared in the toilet and got back shortly after, bringing the now full cup to the reception. They two boys took their seats on the same chairs in the waiting room they sat on previously.
"Li?" The curly haired let asked after a while of sitting next to each other in silence.
"If it's not the flu…what can it be then?" Harry asked worried.
Liam just chuckled. "Do I look like a doctor? Just be patient Harry, we will find out soon. And I bet everything's alright."
"If you say so, Li." The curly haired boy said before both boys stayed silent again. After a while the same woman like earlier this morning called Harry again before she led the two boys to the room they were in not long time ago again.
Everything happened like earlier and soon the doctor entered the room again but immediately sat down on his seat this time instead of shaking hands first. "Hello again, boys. I just got the test results and my guess was confirmed." The man told the two boys and gave Harry a small smile.
If he was smiling the results can't be that bad, right? Harry thought.
"So? What did they say?" Harry asked impatiently.
"Well Harry…" Dr. Geller had now a big smile on his face. "You are pregnant. Congratulations!"
The two friends just looked dumfounded at the obviously insane doctor before they both bursted out in laughter synchronously.
Dr. Geller just looked at the two boys, feeling like he had missed some damn good joke. "What's so funny, guys?"
"You said…Harry is pregnant, oh my god I can't." Liam let out in between laughter.
"And what's so funny about that?" The doctor asked a still laughing Harry.
"Men can't get pregnant…you are the doctor you should know that." Harry laughed.
"Well you can, Harry. And that's exactly what happened." Dr. Geller explained.
"Well last time I checked I was still a man." The curly haired boy said which caused Liam to laugh even harder.
"To be honest, I don't know what's going on. If I didn't know it better, Harry, I would think that you didn't know about your situation." The man looked at Harry with furrowed eyebrows.
The youngest boy suddenly calmed down from his laughter as he saw how serious Dr. Geller seemed. "About what?"
"That you have a fully-grown female reproductive system in your body, Harry."
"What?" Liam whose laughter had also stopped by now asked in confusion.
"Well, your friend here has everything of a female reproductive system, just as an uterus, two ovaries and more, all connected to the rectum which gives him the chance to conceive a child and carry it in the natural female way." The doctor explained to Liam before he turned his attention to a dumfounded Harry again. "You should know that, Harry, it stands in your file since it was found out a long time ago, when you were younger."
"You are…you are joking right?" Harry asked with a shaky voice.
"This topic is nothing I would ever joke about." Dr. Geller said in a serious tone.
"How is this possible, Doc?" Liam asked from the corner of the room.
"Well it's a rare thing that men are born with a female reproductive system and it's unusual that exactly these men are gay, so that they can conceive a child. Most of those men live with this in their bodies without talking about it since it doesn't bother them. You did have sex with a boy, right Harry? Otherwise there must have gone something wrong with the test because even that would never happen."
Harry looked at his lap remembering this certain night with this certain blonde boy, where he had the first and last time sex, before he nodded.
"So you really didn't know about this? Your parents are supposed to know about this so I guess they had never told you?" The doctor said but it sounded more like a question.
Harry just shook his head slightly still looking at his lap, trying to understand what the doctor had just told him. He couldn't really be pregnant could he?
"So Harry is really…." Liam started the question Harry was thinking about.
"Pregnant? Yes he is. According to the test results you should be in the 4th or 5th week. Could that be right Harry?" Dr. Geller asked whereupon Harry lifted his head to face him.
"Yes that's right."
"So do you know who the father is? I mean are you two…" The doctor let out looking between Harry and Liam.
"What? We both? No way, I'm not the father. We are just friends." Liam quickly explained.
"But you do know who the father is?" Dr. Geller asked the curly haired boy.
"Yeah I do." He simply said.
"Well I would suggest you to tell him and that you go to further appointments together. I'm not a gynecologist but I will arrange you an appointment at one here in the near."
Harry just nodded to show that he had heard what the doctor had said.
"I would also suggest you to speak to your parents and the father of your child about what your options are since you, Harry, are still a teenager." The doctor said concerned.
As Harry again just nodded and kept silent the doctor continued. "I will give you a recipe for something against your cramps and the morning sickness. You can pick it up at the reception."
The curly haired boy didn't show any sign of wanting to say something so that Liam stood up and gave the doctor his hand to shake it. "Thank you so much for everything, Dr. Geller." He said before pulling his best friend from the leather bed.
"I wish you the best and good luck, Harry. Good bye you two." Dr. Geller said and stood up leading the two boys to the door.
Harry mumbled a quiet "Thanks. Bye" before following his friend to the reception where they picked up the recipe and the appointment for the gynecologist. The both said a quick goodbye and got out of the building, walking to Liam's pickup and quickly entering it.
They both just sat there for a while in silence with closed doors until Liam decided to break it. "Are you alright, Haz?" He worriedly asked since his best friend had been silent the whole time after the doctor had told them about Harry's situation.
"If I'm alright?" Harry asked through gritted teeth. "You ask if I am fucking alright? Do I look like I'm fucking alright, huh Liam?! Tell me!" The curly haired boy suddenly bursted out yelling at his best friend.
Liam wanted to say something but Harry interrupted him. "I just got told that I'm fucking pregnant. And I'm a man! I shouldn't be in such a situation right now! And on top of that the father of my child is a fucking jerk I had a one night stand with. I mean…are we in some damn high school movie or what?!" The curly haired boy screamed now.
"Harry calm down…."
"Don't tell me to calm down, Liam, just don't. Can you imagine how I am supposed to tell Niall Horan that he got me, a boy, pregnant?" Harry said and bursted out in hysterical laughter. "'Hey Niall remember the night on your birthday you used me for sex…well you chose exactly one of the few men who can get pregnant and since we didn't use a condom exactly this happened. Now let's marry and move in a little house with a white fence so that we can start a damn little family!!'" Harry mocked.
Liam didn't know what to say to that so he kept silent and let Harry talk further. "I just want to go home and let my parents explain that this can't be true, that I don't have fucking female parts in my body." Harry yelled.
"Stop swearing, Haz. What would your mother think?" Liam just said.
"That is my least fucking problem, Li." Harry said through gritted teeth.
Liam just sighed and started to drive out of the parking lot. "Everything will be alright, Haz. Don't worry."
Harry leaned against his seat and let the tears he had managed to hold back the whole time stream down his face. "No Liam. I'm a boy, I'm still a teenager and I'm pregnant. And the father of this damn child in my body hates me. Nothing will be alright."

Israel's Hands Around Our Throat Are Showing
Israel's Hands Around Our Throat Are Showing
By: Peter Chamberlin
In the closing days of the Bush disaster Israel is moving to consolidate gains it has made over the past eight years toward its ultimate goals of "Greater Israel" and the Zionist-dominated new world order. The urgency of the hour for Israel can be seen in the open display of Jewish/Israeli political muscle-flexing in Washington. The normally invisible Israeli hand around America's throat has been clearly visible lately, as America moved to take four specific actions on Israel's behalf which will probably prove to be harmful to America's interests, forcing a major expansion of the war on terror.

Although Barack the Magic Negro will be beholden to the Jewish power structure in no small degree, I hope at least there will be a lessening of the Jewish/Zionist influence vs. Bush, as it relates to our forgien policy.
