NASA's Opportunity to Lose Total Recall, Gain Spotless Mind
September 03, 2014
The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration next month will reformat the flash memory of the Mars exploration rover Opportunity. Opportunity's been undergoing computer resets with increasing frequency -- it had 12 in August alone. Recovery from each of the resets takes one to two days, which means the rover was out of action for most of the month.
Leap Motion Gets Your Hands in the Game
September 02, 2014
Leap Motion last week announced a virtual reality headset developer mount for Oculus Rift and a new API that together will take the VR game to new heights. The API feeds raw infrared imagery straight from Leap's sensors to the controller on the headset, giving users a real time view of the environment.

Digital Clone: You Won't Be Able to Live Without One
September 01, 2014
A very interesting book just hit the market. Written by Martine Rothblatt -- apparently she is America's top paid female CEO -- its title is Virtually Human: The Promise -- and the Peril -- of Digital Immortality. The subject is digital clones, and Rothblatt goes into depth about what they are, when they are coming, and the likelihood they eventually will have equal human rights.

Gadget Ogling: Sapphire Phones, Waterproof Reads, Connected Hats and a Runner's Salvation
August 29, 2014
A current trend among smartphone makers is to thrust a sapphire screen onto the face. Among the 17 million rumors regarding the next iPhone is that it will feature such a display -- the camera and Touch ID components already feature sapphire. Until Apple reveals the truth about its next smartphone, other manufacturers, like Huawei, are jostling for sapphire-embossed market share.
Apple's About to Kick Mobile Payments Into High Gear
August 29, 2014
Rumor has it that when Apple reveals its much-hyped iPhone 6 on Sept. 9, one of the features it will be trumpeting -- finally -- is near field communication. The NFC tech will enable mobile payments, Wired reported, citing sources "familiar with the matter." Wow. If this is true, it could be the catalyst that propels mobile payments into the mainstream.
Samsung, LG Unveil Smartwatches With Sex Appeal
August 28, 2014

Ralph Lauren Takes a Swing at Fitness Tech
August 28, 2014
Ralph Lauren this week merged the tech and fashion worlds with a new smart Polo shirt. Knitted into the Polo Tech shirt's core are sensors that read biological and physiological information. The company partnered with Msignal to develop a "black box" that includes an accelerometer and gyroscope, which capture movement and direction. Data is captured and sent to the cloud for analysis.
Hacker Attacks on Healthcare Providers Jump 600 Percent
August 28, 2014
The recent data breach at Community Health Systems, in which Chinese hackers stole the personal information of 4.3 million patients, was another sign of a disturbing trend: Healthcare providers are coming under cyberattack at an alarming rate. "We've seen a 600 percent increase in attacks on the healthcare sector in the last 10 months," said Carl Leonard, senior manager at Websense Security Labs.
Robo Brain Teaches a Robot to Fish
August 28, 2014
Researchers are building Robo Brain, a large-scale computational system that collates information from the Internet, from computer simulations, and from real-life robot trials -- and learns from it. That knowledge base will be used to drive prototypes for robotics research, household robots and self-driving cars. The researchers have begun downloading an assortment of images and documents.
Kano's Alejandro Simon: If This, Then Do That
August 27, 2014
Imagine a world where playing Pong and Minecraft gives people the power to program their computers. That world is Kano. A crowdfunded startup, it took the idea behind Lego to teach computer programming by playing first-generation computer games. Kano launched on Kickstarter in November 2013. More than 13,000 people from some 50 countries raised $1.5 million in 30 days.
A Big Honking iPad Could Roll Right Over Apple's Speed Bump
August 27, 2014
While the Microsoft Surface Pro 3 is working to establish itself as the perfect tweener device between tablet and laptop, one hot rumor suggests that Apple's answer for more working space on an iPad will come in the form of a bigger screen -- 12.9 inches of touch-sensitive glory. The rumor comes from Bloomberg, which vaguely cited "people with knowledge of the matter."
Instagram Hyperlapse Sparks Time-Lapse Video Craze
August 27, 2014
Instagram has released Hyperlapse, a free iOS app that takes the jitters out of time-lapse video. Just two weeks ago, Microsoft demonstrated a similar technology that bears the same name. The Instagram app "is the most impressive effect to hit smartphone video in recent memory," said Ross Rubin, principal analyst with Reticle Research. An Android version is not yet available.
California Lays Down the Kill-Switch Law
August 27, 2014
Gov. Jerry Brown on Monday signed into law a bill requiring that anti-theft measures be incorporated into all smartphones sold within California. It doesn't specify the particular technologies used to enable that capability, but it does require that the feature, also known as a "kill switch," give smartphone users the ability to remotely disable their devices in the event they're lost or stolen.
Scientists Zap Diamond With Laser to Record Quantum Behavior
August 27, 2014
Researchers recently developed a technique to record the quantum mechanical behavior of one electron in a nanoscale defect in diamond. The team used ultra-fast pulses of laser light both to control the defect's entire quantum state and to observe how the state of one electron in the defect changes over time. "This experiment uses a 'trapped' electron," said team leader David Awschalom.
Google Gives Glass a Good Polish
August 26, 2014
An update to the software that runs Glass gives users of Google's wearable computing device more control over their interactions with contacts. The latest version of the software -- also known as version XE20.1 -- adds the flexibility to choose how to reach out to a contact after selecting the person from the contacts list. Users now can swipe between Hangouts, email or SMS.
Gadget Ogling: A New Nook, a Good (M8), a Lock With No Key - and Music, Music, Music
August 26, 2014
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook conflates lots of different things: It's an Android tablet designed for reading, made by Samsung for Barnes & Noble. That might seem confusing, and I'd agree. It's essentially a branded version of the Galaxy Tab 4 with an e-commerce focus. Specifically, there's a Barnes & Noble Newsstand app, with games, movies and books on offer.
NSA Shares Its Data Wealth
August 26, 2014
The United States National Security Agency secretly shares the communications data it has amassed over the years with nearly 24 U.S. government agencies using a search engine resembling Google Search, according to documents released by Edward Snowden. That's more than 850 billion records of phone calls, emails, cellphone locations and Internet chats.
Amazon Pulls a Twitch on Google
August 25, 2014
Amazon has inked a deal to acquire Twitch Interactive, a real-time video platform for gamers. Prior to the disclosure, rumors had been building that it was on track to snatch Twitch from Google, which reportedly had been very close to buying it. The pending acquisition was rumored to be for upwards of $1 billion. However, Amazon said it was buying the company for $970 million cash.
Google Autocomplete's Brushes With Libel
August 25, 2014
Can an automated Google feature that ostensibly helps users with a search be a basis for libel? Courts in Germany, Italy and Hong Kong have had to field that question. Google's position is that there is no human intervention, and that its algorithm is based merely on what others have searched for, or strings of words in indexed pages. Autocomplete predictions are just possible search terms.
Comcast Really Does Hate Its Customers
August 25, 2014
We were treated to the customer support call from hell earlier this month when a couple of well-connected bloggers taped their call to Comcast attempting to disconnect from the service and posted it online. Apparently there has been a sequel. The clear lesson -- particularly from the second call -- is that if you talk to Comcast support you need to record the call if you don't want to get screwed.
'iWatch' Could Be Late for a Very Important Date
August 22, 2014
Apple may be forced to postpone the launch of the hotly anticipated "iWatch" or health band, perhaps pushing it back to 2015. It apparently is facing wide-ranging production issues involving components, system design, manufacturing, and integration between hardware and software. Holy macaroni. Of course, it should be noted that Apple has never said that it would deliver anything of the sort.
Hack Day Produces Oculix, a Mind-Blowing Trip Through the Netflix Catalog
August 21, 2014
A team of Netflix programmers merged the company's videos with the virtual reality capability offered by the Oculus Rift headset as a fun project on Netflix Hack Day. The Oculix media app lets users browse a floating 3D Netflix video catalog using head turning movements and hand gestures. Once a selection is made, the user can watch the video in a VR theater setting.
Close Your Eyes and Rest Easy - Blink Is Watching the House
August 21, 2014
One of the most troubling issues with home security and remote-monitoring products is the complexity and cost to set them up. Blink, a new Kickstarter project, is different. It promises to be astoundingly easy, and it's inexpensive, too. Backers can get a simple remote motion detection and video camera unit for just $69 -- or two for $119. Better yet, no subscription service is required.

The Tenth Street Connector project is intended to improve the study area in a variety of ways to accomplish its objectives. The process of study and design and the team carrying it out are described below.
The project will connect the intersection of Stantonsburg Road and Memorial Drive with the intersection of Tenth Street and Dickinson Avenue.
A critical piece of this project will be the separation of the CSX Railroad and Tenth Street so citizens traveling along Tenth Street can continue without being stopped by a train. The study will evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of Tenth Street going over or under the railroad.
There are a variety of alignment options being considered for the Tenth Street Connector. Visit the public involvement page to read about them in the newsletters or in the January 2008 slideshow presentation.
The study and design phase of the project includes data collection, public involvement, a Community Impact Assessment, an Environmental Assessment, and design. Data to be collected includes socioeconomic, historic, and community data, as well as information on physical elements such as railroads, streets, and utilities. The study and design process for this project is anticipated to take 3-4 years. Construction will start no earlier than 2012, but it will begin soon thereafter assuming no unexpected delays are encountered. To view the timeline of project progression, visit the schedule page
The consulting team, Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., is a national firm based in Cary, North Carolina. They have planners, engineers, environmental professionals, and landscape architects working side-by-side to tackle transportation challenges. They will assist the City of Greenville, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, East Carolina University, and Pitt County Memorial Hospital in completing the study and design of this project.

TechKnowledge Content
Error - "Unable to remove this transaction: An open apply record exists or an apply record exists outside the selected range" occurs when deleting Receivables Transaction history.
In order to maintain the integrity of the Receivables Historical Aged Trial Balance report, this message occurs because there is an open apply record within the removal range.
To get around this, the Print Historical Aged Trial Balance option will need to be turned off behind the scenes in Small Business Manager. You will then be able to delete the specific document.
Note - If you do this you should remove both the credit and debit documents to maintain integrity of the Historical Aged Trial Balance.
To turn off the Print Historical Aged Trial Balance option follow one of these resolutions depending on whether Small Business Manager is being run on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 or MSDE.
Resolution 1 - Microsoft SQL Server 2000.
Using SQL Query Analyzer, run the this SQL query against the company database (SBM0x):
update RM40101 set PRTHATRB = '0'
Resolution 2 - MSDE - Use batch file.
By default Small Business Manager is installed with MSDE, which does not have SQL tools such as SQL Query Analyzer. In this situation, a batch file can be run to execute a SQL query.
1. Download the file to the hard drive of the Small Business Manager server machine.
2. Extract the contents of the RMPrintHATB.zip file to the hard drive of the Small Business Manager server machine. You will now have a RMPrintHATB.bat file.
3. Edit the batch file using Notepad to add the 'sa' password after the -P parameter (if applicable). Also, change the database name from SBM0x to the name of this company's database (i.e. SBM01).
4. Save and close the batch file.
5. Run the batch file from the Small Business Manager server machine by double-clicking on it.
Resolution 3 - MSDE - Use WinSQL.
If you are unsuccessful running the batch file you may download the WinSQL tool to execute the SQL Query.
1. Follow this link to download the WinSQL Lite file to your hard-drive: .
Note - This third party product is a free program called WinSQL Lite that can be used to run SQL scripts.
2. Once the file is saved to your hard drive, unzip the winsql.zip file and save the executable file (Winsql.exe) to the hard drive.
3. Launch the Winsql.exe file and login to your SBM data source.
4. Copy and paste the following SQL query into the query window. Use the green arrow on the tool bar to execute the query (or go to Query | Execute).
update SBM0x..RM40101 set PRTHATRB = '0'
Note - Replace SBM0x with the name of this company's database (i.e. SBM01).
Once you have successfully run the SQL query using one of the above methods, you can attempt deleting receivables transaction history.
Once you have successfully deleted receivables transaction history, you can turn the Print Historical Aged Trial Balance option back on by changing the PRTHATRB = '0' parameter to PRTHATRB = '1' in each of the scripts. This is optional depending whether or not the customer intends to use the Historical Aged Trial Balance reports in the future.

Wedding planners, dust off your finest sample bouquets! Looks like Fifty Shades of Grey hopeful Ian Somerhalder may be walking down the aisle some time in the near future. A fan proposed to the Vampire Diaries actor recently on Instagram, and ... okay, Ian Somerhalder is definitely not getting married any time soon. But his reaction to the joking-but-totally-serious proposal was quite adorable. And even if he did accept the proposal, there wouldn't be a wedding anyway, because I'm pretty sure the fan died shortly after reading Ian's response.
Emotionally, you guys. Not physically. Christ, that would be awful.
Instagram user emanohar24 wrote: "How about we get married @iansomerhalder sorry my proposal isn't more romantic." To which Ian replied: "Marriage proposal -- I think it's plenty romantic. Proposal on Instagram is more than sufficient :)" Ian then posted the exchange on his Twitter account, and that's when I'm assuming a funeral service was held for emanohar24's emotions. RIP, feelings.
The fact that Ian responded to this Ian-obsessed person is pretty damn cool. This is the stuff fangirl dreams are made of right here. I'm sure this gal wrote her marriage proposal message, thinking Ian would never read it. But lo and behold, not only did he read it, he responded to it.
Hopefully, emanahor24 is a smart and sane enough person to know that there aren't going to be any vows exchanged between the two of them any time in the near future. Dude was just joshing her. But she may want to take a screenshot of Ian's screenshot and put it in an album. Her grandkids are going to want to see this someday.
Would you die if Ian Somerhalder responded to your message?

Everyone has an a opinion. If you don't like fine your CHOICE! As far as children seeing these get real. That is your job as parent to monitor what YOUR children watch. He'll my kids still haven't watched any of the Twilight saga (my choice as a parent). Don't get on a high horse and tell everyone what they should watch, read, or how to basically raise their children; because you don't like it.
On another note I would love to see Ian play the part, and (personally) liked to see Scarlett Joehannon play Ana. Good luck to all.
no i would love to pick his brain for just a minute or so he is such a visonary for our future it would blow my mind to hear his thoughts on life
Imagine if that poor girl bought a dress haha O_O Ian's response is so cute! lol
Oh I love Ian :) He is soooo adorable, cute cute cute ^_^
Now At: Seriously? and Christi Dowers
Very very well responded!! I was about to answer to "Stop", because there are nosey haters being opinionated all the time. But I see you guys did a really good job there ;) I'm getting a bit tired of people talking sh** about the trilogy, really, u_u just get over it already. Stop trying to impose your preferences to others, and realize that everyonne has the right to read and like whatever makes them happy.
Greetings for the FiftyShades & Ian fans ;)
PS.: YES I would have totally died if he have had answered me like that, I think I would have stalked him too until tripping to reality's wall :p lol :3
I would totally DIE! It would make my year if Ian responded to any kind of proposal from me ;)

SARAH SHAHI, an actress and star of USA's 'Fairly Legal', almost got into a vehicle tangle with PARIS HILTON and boy was she pissed about it! Apparently, P. Hilt nearly ran her over at the corner and Shahi took to her mighty Twitter to call her out on it.
Shahi tweeted:
"Paris Hilton- worst driver ever. Almost hit me, then ran a stop sign.what if there was a kid around the corner, you dumb b–ch.
She didn't stop there, Shahi continued and tweeted:
"Paris Hilton – horrible excuse for a human being."
"What an irresponsible person, what a lame existence."
"One more thing blonde piece of sh*t – you aren't an elitist because you have money. You should apologize to humanity…now I'm done."
Oh, man! Sarah! Truthfully, yes, Paris should pay closer attention when turning the corner, but that string of hateful tweets just makes Shahi look petty. Don't you think?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Big win pushes B.C. into contenton
KINGSTON, ONT. -- Team Manitoba West is alive and well here at the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
The B.C. foursome that's made up of three Manitobans -- skip Kelly Scott, second Sasha Carter and lead Sarah Wazney -- got a huge win over P.E.I. Wednesday night, cracking a deuce in the ninth end and then stealing one more in the tenth to escape with a 9-8 win.
The win bumped B.C. into a tie with Saskatchewan's Jill Shumay for the fourth and final playoff spot at 4-3 and kept B.C. in the equation at an event that has to this point been dominated by Manitoba and Ontario -- both 7-0 -- and 6-1 Team Canada.
"Every time you get through to playoffs at an event like this," Scott mused afterward, "you have a game like that during the round robin that you look back afterward and say, 'That was maybe a turning point' or 'That was the game that got us into this position in playoffs.' "
Wednesday night's win also came despite the continuing absence of Wazney, who's missed B.C.'s last three games with a suspected case of food poisoning but is expected to be back in the lineup today.
"That was a mandatory win," said Carter, adding her team is undaunted by the manner in which Canada, Manitoba and Ontario have pulled away from the pack. "Anything can happen during the week. I think we look at the round robin and just want to make the playoffs. Playing in the 1-2 game would be a bonus and that's probably not in our future.
"But as long as we make playoffs, I think it's hard to keep momentum going for eight days straight like some of these other teams are trying to do."
Scott, Carter and third Jenna Schraeder won a pair of Canadian titles together in 2006 and 2007 and were also runners-up to Heather Nedohin at this event last year.
While they are tied with Saskatchewan at 4-3, it bears noting that Saskatchewan has lost three in a row after a 4-0 start and appears to be in free-fall.
New Brunswick's Andrea Crawford and P.E.I.'s Suzanne Birt are also still in the playoff picture at 4-4, as is Nova Scotia's Mary-Anne Arsenault, who is now 3-4 after an 0-4 start.
-- -- --
Alberta's Kristie Moore finally recorded her first win of this event Wednesday evening, a 9-3 shellacking of N.W.T.'s Kerry Galusha.
The win came as a huge relief to Moore, who pulled herself out of her team's lineup versus Manitoba Tuesday night after a dreadful 0-5 start had some observers wondering if a powerhouse curling province like Alberta was in danger of going winless this week.
Fifth Renee Sonnenberg skipped the Alberta team Tuesday to what proved to be their sixth straight loss this week, but Moore put herself back into the lineup for the game against N.W.T.
-- -- --
It's said figures lie and liars figure but the numbers here speak the truth.
Manitoba, Canada and Ontario lead the standings and they also lead in every category of shooting percentages. At lead, Manitoba's Dawn Askin leads (86 per cent) followed by Ontario's Lisa Weagle and Canada's Laine Peters in a tie (83 per cent). At second, Ontario's Allison Kreviazuk leads (85 per cent), followed by Manitoba's Jill Officer (83 per cent) in second and Canada's Jessica Mair in third (81 per cent). At third, Manitoba's Kaitlyn Lawes leads (82 per cent), Canada's Beth Iskiw is second (81 per cent) and Ontario's Emma Miskew is tied for third at 77 per cent. At skip, Ontario's Rachel Homan leads (87 percent), followed by Manitoba's Jennifer Jones (85 percent) and Canada's Heather Nedohin (82 percent).
And as a team, Manitoba leads at 84 per cent, followed by Ontario at 82 per cent and Canada at 81 per cent.

Tonight's first episode of "Cake Boss" was titled "Aviva Cake Boss!" As the episode begins in Hoboken, Buddy is visited by the leader of a Mariachi band who wants a special cake for Cinco de Mayo and wants it delivered by Buddy dressed as a Mariachi. Their idea of what they want just does not sit right with Buddy. They wanted a stage with all the band members, but Buddy and Ralph put their heads together for a total Cinco de Mayo celebration.
In the Ridgewood bakery, Frankie's friends come into the shop. They own Moxie Salon, the shop where he gets his hair cut and are twins, Jenn & Jamie and their business is also in Ridgewood. They are having a grand opening event, but Buddy asks for their opinion on his look. They immediately tell him that he needs his hair restyled, his eyebrows trimmed and remove the gray around his sideburns. Buddy would rather give his wife and sisters a day at the salon, not him.
As the Cinco de Mayo cake was coming together, Grace wanted to help Buddy and Mauro with the singing of "La Bamba," but Grace cannot sing. As the figures are coming together for the cake, they start working on the salon cakes.
The women arrive for their makeovers and are really going all out. When Maddie is asked why her hair is short, she tells the sisters that her hubby likes it that way. The women advise them never to listen to a man. Lisa admits that she knows Buddy secretly wishes she was a redhead, so goes for it.
As the Moxie Salon cake is being delivered, the women are waiting for the arrival of the cake. When Buddy, Mauro and Danny come in with the cake, They have not seen the women yet.

Original Project Concept Note
Sustainable Desert Community
Preliminary Project Concept
Of all the minorities living in Israel the Bedouin population represents the most disadvantaged group. Bedouin society in the south of the country numbers some 180,000 individuals, about 25% of the population of the Negev as a whole. Nearly 80,000 live as displaced persons in scattered settlements unrecognized by the Israeli government. The socio-economic status of the Bedouins is the lowest in the country with close to 60% of all families living below the official poverty line. Educational levels are consistently low with only very few individuals reaching higher education levels.
For years, government policy focused on settling Bedouin communities in a few concentrated townships and villages. More than half of the Bedouin population now lives in such "recognized" towns but these were developed along standard western lines, all too often with little input from the inhabitants themselves, little consideration to traditional, social and cultural needs, and little concern for ecological dimensions of living sustainably in a desert habitat. The seven planned Bedouin towns are the poorest of all municipalities in the country with high rates of joblessness, crime, and high school drop outs.
Conditions in the unrecognized settlements are even worse, with most people deprived of basic services: electricity, clean running water, proper waste handling, phone services, schools, and health care facilities. In addition, the Bedouin society is undergoing a process of forced, accelerated transition from a nomadic, pastoral existence to a settled way of life in an industrial world. The process is putting enormous pressure on all its traditions, institutions, culture and mores.
Stressful conditions of a society in the throes of deep cultural transition has been further aggravated by a chronic lack of economic opportunities, the highest birth rate in the world, land disputes with Israeli authorities, pressure from military needs for training grounds, persistent exposure to toxic pollution and hazardous industrial waste, an uncaring bureaucracy, discrimination, and a disinterested public. All of these combine to create a vicious cycle of deteriorating conditions suppressing potentials for development, well-being and hope.
The plight of the Bedouin populations has persisted for years despite full citizenship and a proud tradition of service in Israel's Defense Forces. It has been increasingly recognized in recent years as a potentially gravely destabilizing situation, one of the most critical problems in the broader question of a peaceful, democratic coexistence with the larger Arab-Israeli minority.
The specific situation of the Bedouin community has been variously described as a human, social, economic, ecological, and security disaster. Yet, in close proximity to hopelessness and poverty, some of the country's most advanced centers of science, research and learning are flourishing.
Technology and research institutions at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, including the Robert Arnow Center for Bedouin Studies and Development, as well as The Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, with its Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research, the National Solar Energy Center, and the Desert Architecture and Urban Planning Unit, may offer the very resources and tools which, if effectively combined, can help lift the Bedouin community from a dire state and deliver on a promise of a sustainable, prosperous future.
As David Ben-Gurion, first Prime Minister of Israel observed long ago: "The Negev offers the greatest opportunity to accomplish everything from the beginning." This may still be the case today, particularly with respect to developing new, bold approaches for improving the long term prospect of the noble, proud and capable Bedouin community.
Project Concept
The underlying concept for this proposed project is to contribute to the long term welfare of the Bedouins by developing and implementing a radically innovative, demonstration model for a sustainable desert community. The project will assist a selected pioneering Bedouin group to develop its own, self-reliant approach to development, faithful to key aspects of its tradition, driven by fundamental sustainability principles, and combining key social, educational, technological, economic, and spiritual elements in one comprehensive approach.
In interviews and conversations over the years, many Bedouin leaders have expressed their frustrations with standard approaches to development imposed on their communities. Many have consistently voiced their desire to have the opportunity to develop their own lives in a rural environment, following time honored traditions and practices, and developing an independent livelihood close to the land.
The proposed project will work toward achieving such a goal by building on traditional wisdom and integrating appropriate community development practices with capacity building, and breakthrough technologies in alternative energy, food production, waste recycling, and desert habitation. It will seek to build a viable, self-sufficient economy incorporating a variety of key components including intensive crop raising, animal husbandry, commerce, and eco-tourism. In particular, the intent is to amplify advantages inherent to potential synergies in the interactions between such areas of activity.
A four-fold purpose will underpin and guide the development of the project:
To work with a small Bedouin group in developing a model of a peaceful, self-reliant, sustainable desert community.
To incorporate a set of rigorous sustainability principles in guiding the plan and afford the Sustainability Laboratory its first opportunity to develop a pilot of this kind.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the Design Science approach in addressing community development efforts of this nature and scope.
To develop a scalable, replicable model of relevance to the rest of the Bedouin community, to other community development efforts in the region and, possibly, to other arid areas in the world.
Critical Success Factors and Potential Significance
This project represents an ambitious concept. It will require dedication and considerable effort to plan and implement. A number of factors will be critical to ensure ultimate success:
•A stable, willing Bedouin community.
•Forward looking, dedicated local leadership able to articulate and lead authentic local priorities.
•Participation of key "external" players possessing the necessary technical resources and expertise.
•Secured resources to jumpstart the project and support its development to the point of self-sufficiency.
•The co-operation of the necessary Israeli authorities.
Success of this project could have far reaching implications. In addition to demonstrating an innovative approach to development, providing creative livelihood and ensuring well-being of the directly engaged community, it could empower and inspire the broader Bedouin population to pursue proactive initiatives for securing a brighter future; it may encourage the Israeli authorities to pursue more enlightened policies in relation to the Bedouin population; and, it may offer a model for similar, disadvantaged groups in other countries, and enrich the sustainable development debate in general.
Other Efforts
Other NGOs are active in the region with a variety of projects. All represent important activities usually focused on a particular topic or a few burning issues of significance to the community.
The uniqueness of the proposed project is in taking a comprehensive approach to the realization of an innovative model, integrating, in one demonstration project, all the aspects that are essential for breaking through the log-jam of continuing to live with things as they are and developing instead, an enduring sustainable community.
Laying the Necessary Foundations
It is proposed that approximately a year's effort will be invested in developing a thorough
project concept and a project development plan. This first major phase will be devoted to
laying the necessary foundations for the project and achieving the following:
•Early assessment of concept validity and actual implementation prospects.
•Refinement of project concept based on discussion with potential stakeholders on the ground.
•Identification of a Bedouin community willing to fully participate in the project.
•Commitment of a strong local leadership.
•Identification and recruitment of potential project partners: key players in the Bedouin community; environmental and other NGOs; academia, technology research centers, and others.
•Identification and preliminary contact with key stakeholders: government agencies; planning, local and military authorities; key groups within the Bedouin community; and sources of potential political and financial support.
•Establishment of a local project team.
•Development of project strategy and overall project design.
•Launching of selected, preliminary capacity building steps.
•Development of detailed project plan and full project proposal.
Assuming the necessary resources are in place, this in depth planning phase will require
approximately 12 months to complete.
Taking Initial Preparatory Steps
In order to minimize risk, the project could be launched with an early preparatory phase during which a series of steps will be taken to establish a more refined project concept and budget, and galvanize commitment for the full planning phase. This early preparatory step could be accomplished within approximately four calendar months. It would culminate in a joint strategy meeting of key potential participants, during which roles would be agreed upon and initial tasks will be laid out.
This early preparatory step, itself, could begin with a short reconnaissance mission aimed at ascertaining validity, assuring interest in principle, and establishing the necessary connections for assembling the early project infrastructure.

To My Friends
Words of the Week
From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
The Lotus Sutra of the Correct Law says that, if one hears this sutra and proclaims and embraces its title, one will enjoy merit beyond measure. And the Supplemented Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law says that one who accepts and upholds the name of the Lotus Sutra will enjoy immeasurable good fortune. These statements indicate that the good fortune one receives from simply chanting the daimoku is beyond measure.

On the cusp of the one year anniversary of the stimulus bill, the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) has been recognized in an American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) stimulus report entitled, Projects and Paychecks: A One-Year Report on State Transportation Successes under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Projects and Paychecks has a simple message: Investment in transportation equals good construction jobs now and lasting infrastructure for the future. RIDOT has 62 projects in its stimulus program up from the initial 54 because of competitive bidding that allowed the Department to stretch its dollars further.
The stimulus program added $137 million to our transportation program, said RIDOT Director Michael P. Lewis. Currently 57 projects have been authorized, 44 projects are under construction, and 81 percent of all of the project contracts were awarded to Rhode Island companies.
One of RIDOTs projects highlighted in the report is the Dillons Corner Bridge project in Narragansett. Dillons Corner is a $6.6 million stimulus project replacing two structurally deficient bridges (Dillons Corner Bridge and Point Judith Road Bridge). Repairs to the Peace Dale Stone Arch Bridge in South Kingstown are also a part of this project.
This stimulus funded project will improve two vital bridge structures that lie in the main pathway to some of Rhode Islands most popular beaches. The old shored up structures will become relics of the past, improving safety and rideability for the hundreds of thousands of beachgoers who visit this area between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
This American Recovery and Reinvestment Act transportation project has created approximately 25 jobs.
Projects and Paychecks proves just how big a role stimulus is playing to keep Americans working, said John Horsley, AASHTO executive director. In January, state DOTs identified more than 9,800 additional ready-to-go projects worth $79 billion. This study proves transportation projects can deliver hundreds of thousands of jobs for America, Horsley said.
Rhode Island, along with Georgia, Michigan and Nevada, were selected as success stories and the regional representatives for this report. Other Rhode Island projects included in the report are the resurfacing of eight miles of I-95 between exits 1 - 3 for $7.7 million, and the reconstruction of Hartford Avenue in Johnston for $3.4 million.
The entire report focuses on the $48 billion national investment in transportation improvement projects and highlights the job creation results through profiles of 150 individual projects and newly released state and federal government statistics. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act was passed on February 17, 2009.
Nationwide, as of January 7, 2010, 1,125 bridges had been improved or replaced, 21,400 miles of pavement had been resurfaced or widened, and 1,700 safety traffic management projects had been put into place.
The entire report can be found online at: http://recovery.transportation.org/.

Running another small batch of loneliest mixtapes - claim yours here if you want one.
First off, I wanted to thank Paul Capewell and Lorenzo Orselli for helping push the project over 50 re-recorded mixtapes! It's been almost a year since I mailed Daniella Jaeger mixtape ⌃ 1; which reminds me, I still owe her a walkman, if your'e reading this, Daniella, I haven't forgotten, I've just had trouble finding old portable cassette players that actually still work.
Anyway, I just wanted to write that I've been really happy with how this project has grown. Here's to the next 50 tapes! Speaking of, I just launched the loneliest mix ⌃ 51. A very special thanks to talented Tully Mills for permission to use his gorgeous watercolor # 38 from his 365 days of drawing series.
Source: kickstarter.com
I find your project really interesting. Why are there so many versions you've been posting on kickstarter? What does the number after the loneliest mix ⌃ mean?
- William on Kickstarter
I wanted to answer both these questions publicly since others might be asking the same things, also, I'll add this to the FAQs post I've been neglecting in my saved drafts.
First, the reason for so many loneliest mix campaigns is because, a) it's easier to keep up with the project in smaller quantities of cassettes; I re-record each tape personally and the tapes vary from 20 minutes on each side to up to 90 minutes on each side and doing more than 10 mixes at a time can get to be demanding. And b) there's just not a ground-swell of interest in the audio project. If I'm lucky, I'll find 4 or 5 people interested in my mailing them a mix; so it's been a project done in baby steps since the first loneliest mix I recorded for Daniella in March.
Second, the ⌃ stands for the current total count of mixes recorded since the above-mentioned mix ⌃1 for Daniella. I wrote a post about the meaning behind the number in June, but I'm really glad William brought up this question because it's something I need to explain for each campaign - which I will do starting tonight.

Moderated by Rick Badie
In 2013, Georgia was the nations' 11th-largest exporting state, based on the dollar value of its products. An economic development official writes about the significance of our state's export market and announces a new trade representative for Colombia. Meanwhile, a consumer expert examines the notion of cash-only purchases in light of recent credit card breaches at major retailers.
Georgia exports grow
By Kathe Falls
International trade is vital to maintaining and increasing jobs and investment in Georgia. Exports create twice as many jobs as domestic trade. For every job created in making a product, another is created getting the product to an international market. In fact, more than one-fifth of manufacturing workers in Georgia depend on exports for their jobs. When looking at imports and exports, more than 300,000 jobs can be attributed to international trade and our ports.
The Georgia Department of Economic Development's International Trade Division works zealously to encourage export promotion. Still, it isn't enough to simply work from within Georgia to promote exports outside our state. That's why we now have international trade representatives in eleven markets that cover 37 countries who seek business opportunities for our state.
Each year we evaluate our international trade contractors by looking at their performance as well as ensuring the location of the contracts is appropriate. We also consider external factors such as countries in which the U.S. has Free Trade Agreements as they help reduce and eliminate tariffs on U.S. goods in these markets.
The U.S. has five trade agreements in the Americas that cover eleven countries: NAFTA (Mexico, Canada), CAFTA-DR (Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica,) Peru, Panama, and Colombia. Georgia companies are taking advantage of these agreements. In 2013, approximately 36 percent of Georgia's exports were to the Americas. Generally speaking, this region is highly receptive to U.S. products and services.
Recently, we announced new international trade representatives that cover Mexico and Colombia, making Georgia the first state to have full-time trade representation in Colombia. This team expands Georgia's representation in the Americas from Canada, Mexico, Chile and Brazil. Georgia also has representatives in Europe (based in Germany), the United Kingdom and Ireland, Israel, Korea, Japan and China.
Based on an increased demand for export assistance in the Americans, the state looked at expanding its Mexico contract to include Mexico plus another free trade agreement country. While many strong opportunities were identified with Panama, Peru and Colombia, Colombia was selected as the best match for Georgia. Colombia is currently Georgia's second-largest South American export market and third-largest Latin American export market. Having increased exposure in Latin America provides more opportunities for Georgia companies. Even more so, we were able to accomplish this without increasing costs to the state.
I'm proud to work for a state that has broken its export record for the fourth consecutive year. Last fiscal year, our international trade division assisted 1,346 companies to access markets outside the U.S. In 2013, Georgia's value of exported goods totaled $37.6 billion, the most the state has ever exported within a single year. Georgia ranks as the nations' 11th largest exporting state, based on dollar value of exports. Georgia is well-poised to remain competitive in the global marketplace with the help of opportunities from the state's new international markets.
Kathe Falls is director of the international trade division for the Georgia Department of Economic Development.
Cash or credit?
By Adam Levin
After hackers breached computer systems at Target, Neiman Marcus, Michael's and the hotel management chain White Lodging and stole millions of Americans' credit card numbers, many people wondered if they should stop using credit cards and start using cash.
The question everyone should ask themselves, though, is why they started using credit cards in the first place, and whether those reasons are valid today.
There are many upsides to using credit cards, first of which is sheer convenience: fewer trips to the bank, little need to have the exact amount in your bank account at the moment of purchase, no change to count and no need to figure out what to do with those pesky pennies.
For many, the convenience of not needing cash for daily purchases can cut both ways: Acquisition ecstasy can trump reality (at least until the bill comes). There's the temptation to spend more than you should or more than you have.
Most cash-versus-credit arguments illustrate these trade-offs. Avoiding credit cards makes you less vulnerable to identity thieves targeting retailers, but carrying cash makes you more vulnerable to burglars and pickpockets with none of the fraud protections offered by most banks and credit card companies. Once your cash is in someone else's pocket, it's gone.
While you might feel uncomfortable at the thought thieves could potentially access your credit, it's hard to imagine that anyone feels comfortable enough to walk into Best Buy with enough cash to buy a TV.
Using cash exclusively means you won't ruin your credit by racking up bills you can't pay (or can't pay on time), but it also means you put yourself at risk for having no credit report at all, which for many lenders is akin to a bad score.
Furthermore, as those of us who have already broken our New Year's resolutions know, changing daily habits takes a lot more than just the desire to change. Switching from one extreme (paying for everything with credit cards) to the other (paying for everything with cash) is the sort of change anyone would find hard to maintain. Like most things, try it in moderation.
If you want to start using cash more often because you want to improve your credit score or pay down debt, don't go cold turkey on your cards. Set up a few monthly bills to auto pay so you don't lose access to existing credit. Leave your cards at home except when you're making a big purchase. Use cash for those everyday expenses or skip them entirely.
But if you're thinking about switching to cash because you're worried about identity theft, try this: Take five minutes each day to check your bank and credit card accounts online (using a secure Internet connection) to make sure every transaction you see is yours, and monitor your credit for unexpected changes.
Adam Levin is chairman and co-founder of Credit.com.

Ubaldo Jimenez had to lower his asking price, and many are expecting Ervin Santana to do the same. Scott Boras, however, doesn't seem to be willing to budge on his stance for his client, Stephen Drew.
As Mike Puma of the New York Mets indicates, Scott Boras is going to have to swallow his pride and lower the asking price if he wants to find a home and job for Stephen Drew (and Kendrys Morales, for that matter).
Clear that Boras still wants Stephen Drew to get at least 14M this season, and Mets have no interest in approaching that figure.
— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) February 18, 2014
Boras, who has been highly critical of the draft pick compensation rule for free agents, seems determined to get at least the amount of the qualifying offer for his clients. Boras continues to market Drew and Morales as front line starting players, and it just appears that that is not the consensus within the market. The Boston Red Sox were also a rumored landing spot for Drew, but Boras appears to be steering his shortstop away from the World Series champs. MLB Network Radio noted that Boras also represents two players in the Red Sox farm system that would be blocked by Drew – most notably, Xander Bogaerts.
Currently, Morales and Drew are doing their Spring Training at the Scott Boras Training Facility in Florida.

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a girl wanna dig out
Hooked it up on later as I hit the do'
Thinking will i live, another twenty-fo'
I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a jacker in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from Kim and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies and I'm askin y'all
Which park, are y'all playin basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fucked around and got a triple double
Freaking niggas everyway like M.J.
I can't believe, today was a good day

A Big Welcome to New Readers!
Over the past couple of weeks we've noticed a surge of new readers heading to Kasterborous to sample our unrivalled blend of Doctor Who news, reviews, features and interviews.
There was only really one reason for this (beyond our excellent articles, superb podKast and increasingly popular forum) and this was, of course, the growing fascination with the Series 7 finale.
However, in light of the constant bashing that Doctor Who appears to be getting from some fans these days, please understand the following. We've had a tenfold increase in visitor numbers over the weekend. This hasn't happened because people don't like Doctor Who anymore, or that the show isn't enjoyable. People just don't go online to look for information about shows that they don't like.
It's happened because the show has caught imaginations in a way that simply hasn't happened at any point since 2005. I'm not in the habit of sharing our figures as they're commercially sensitive, but the reaction has been astonishing. The comments have been equally surprising.
So, a big welcome to our new readers. We hope that you will be here to stay, and that you find the wealth of content on Kasterborous now and in the future to be to your liking. If there is something you would like to see, please let us know!
28 Responses to A Big Welcome to New Readers!
have been visiting your site now for over 12 months and always look forward to your updates. fascinating
Regular viewer and Kasterborous addict too for about 5 years. I remember the old orange "desktop".
I love the debates that come up with fans with a large variety of knowledge and viewpoints on the show we all love. I would remind those that bemoan what's going on with the show that they should be careful what they wish for!
Keep up the good work!
Hello, I've been posting for about a week and found this site in my search for end of series news. It seems I may come across as a 'hater' of Doctor Who but the opposite is the truth. I have followed the show since the early '70′s, through the doldrums of the '90′s and into the new resurgence. I have seen the best of it and the worst. I have changed my opinion on some of the more recent episodes but, I feel, there are inherent issues Steven Moffatt is missing out on. My hope is he will have one final episode which answers all of the unanswered questions from the past four years.
I've been coming here for a couple of months now, I just prefer your writing style and reviews to some of the other Doctor Who sites. I've also noticed that your news is often more upto date. Also the percentage of "CANCEL THIS SHOW NOW!….(I really don't get out enough)" type of fans is thankfully low on this site,
I've been lurking for a while now, like 'The Silence' -Always here but never noticed. Love the articles and news updates. Great work guys.
PS. If I have a moan now and then about my fave show, its only cos I care. Honest!
Happy Birth-I mean, uh, good work Kasterborous!
Now lets get the older PodKast (with a K) up and running so we, the new listeners, can have something to listen to for the next 6 months.
Don't worry Vortexter I didnt mean you, anyone who comes up with the suggestion of Dickie McTardis as the true name of the Doctor is getting the balance between passion and fun right in my book.
Thanks Geoff! I cant take the claim for Dickie McTardis though, someone else has the claim to that stroke of genius!
Thank you for the Welcome I found this site just this morning through a link at Huffington Post. I have enjoyed Doctor Who since I discovered it two years ago, and have become quite a fan. Glad to know there are resources online to keep up on the latest.
I am a big fan of here along with a few other sites I consider to be really great with lovely fans none, or little of the moaning especially the in vogue knocking off Steven Moffat.

A Quick Overlook of Parties – Your Cheatsheet
Important Information Concerning New York Event Spaces
Finding the right event space, specifically an excellent venue for your wedding reception, can be a difficult choice to make. There are so many things to consider, like the expense, the location and all of the necessary planning that must be done, that making a decision on the best venue for your wedding reception can be quite difficult.
People who are planning wedding receptions and other special events in New York City are lucky because there are many high quality venues there. Though in one way having a lot of quality choices is a blessing, it can actually make it that much harder to narrow it down and make a decision. If you want to make the decision of which venue you should choose for your wedding reception or other event easier there are a number of questions you will want to consider in your thinking process.
The first thing that you will want to consider in your thought process is how many people have been invited. It is important to find an event space that can easily handle your wedding party as well as every one you have invited. If you host your wedding reception in an event space that is crowded and cramped you will run the risk of ruining your special day. It is also true that if you go with an event space that is too large your event can also lose the quality of intimacy that makes a wedding reception or other event special.
Learning The "Secrets" of Spaces
The location of your event space is yet another important consideration that you must make. It is important to choose a reception venue that is not too far away from your wedding party and your guests. The location of the space that you choose can also change the amount that you will end up paying for your event space. The amount of guest parking is another consideration that is directly related to the location of the event venue. Answering these kinds of questions should help you narrow down your choices and find the right venue for your wedding reception or other special event taking place in New York City.
Spaces: 10 Mistakes that Most People Make
The City of New York is an exciting city. Since New York is a center of world commerce and business, it regularly plays host to many very special events. This is why you are sure to find that there are many impressive event spaces from which to make your choice. No matter what the event is, whether it is your wedding reception or a business luncheon, you will be able to find the kind of event space that your event requires. If you are looking for a special event space in New York your best bet to begin with is to conduct an Internet search of possible venues.

Peace Agreement
You feel your opponent become infused with a sense of non-violence and an unwillingness to fight.
Peace Agreement
Enchantment [Mind-Affecting]
Level: Clr 4
Components: V, S, F, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: One creature
Duration: 1 hour/level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
The target of this spell is sheathed in a faint white glow. For the duration of the spell, the creature is unable to deliberately cause harm to another creature. They may not attack with either melee or ranged attacks, nor use a spell or other special ability to affect an unwilling creature. Nor may they take other actions which directly harm another creature, such as activating a trap with the intent of injuring someone. They are not, however, prevented from indirectly harming foes, such as summoning monsters to fight on their behalf or casting beneficial spells on allies.
Should any creature attempt to attack the target of this spell directly (such as by one of the methods described above), the spell no longer applies with regards to this creature, and the target of peace agreement may attack them as if the spell was not in effect. If the spell's caster attacks the victim, the spell ends entirely.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Post-graduate Taught (MSc)
Hala Issa – UAE; MSc in Chemical Biology
There are many aspects to consider when applying to a postgraduate degree. However, when the time came for me to pursue an MSc in a field of my interest, chemistry was my top choice with no hesitation. Chemistry appealed to me when I was studying medical laboratory technology as my bachelor degree. Although it might seem that these two fields are not closely related, but year after year I became more eager to understand the chemistry that is coordinating all our biological processes. Luckily, the MSc in Chemical Biology program in Cardiff University offered all the answers. Cardiff as the capital of Wales offers its citizen lots of activities because there is always something going on. The University makes it very easy to integrate smoothly because it is situated at a close proximity to everything and has everything an international student might need. Moreover, Cardiff University is the best university in Wales and it guarantees high quality education along with the best facilities in research. The admission staff were also very helpful in answering all my inquiries and helped me to reach a more informed decision. Future plans would definitely include a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry. Otherwise, Chemical Biology opens the doors to different fields including pharmaceuticals and drug design as well as vast research opportunities.
Nakarin Subjalearndee-Thailand; MSc in Catalysis
After I graduated with a degree from the Faculty of Science, Mahidol University, Thailand, I wanted to undertake new experiences in both my academic and personal life. I felt that one way of combining both would be to study for a Master's degree abroad. I decided to search for universities that matched my lifestyle and interests in chemistry. Cardiff University was the best choice because of its School of Chemistry's research reputation. The MSc in Catalysis scheme has furthered my knowledge of chemistry, and also the environment around the university really suits my lifestyle as it's very quiet and peaceful. After I arrived at Cardiff, everything was even better than I had imagined! All of the staff in the university and people in the city are very generous to foreign students and I can guarantee that they never hesitate to help if they have any problems, no matter how big or small. The course really encourages and supports my development and allows my special interests in sustainable chemistry and real industrial processes to be investigated in more depth. In the future, if I have a chance to work in a chemical company in the United Kingdom, I definitely won't hesitate to take that opportunity
Yan Ma-China; MSc in Catalysis
I have loved chemistry since I was a little girl as the chemical world is magical to me. I previously studied in University of Science and Technology Beijing and graduated with a degree in Applied Chemistry. When I decided to go abroad for further study, I found that there was an MSc in Catalysis course in Cardiff University and it is the major reason that I choose the study here. Catalysis widely exists in the natural world, and it is an important branch in chemical research. I am very happy studying here at Cardiff University. The professors are very erudite and patient, and the classmates are nice and friendly. The most exciting thing is that there are several libraries in the campus and I believe I can learn a great deal in this year. Cardiff is a peaceful and picturesque city, which has a great deal of art, history and rich Welsh culture. After I finish the course in I plan to go back to China, find a job in the chemistry industry and maybe I will pursue a PhD degree afterward. However, I will never forget the valuable experience in Cardiff.
Ziyu Wang - China; MSc in Catalysis
Cardiff is really a beautiful city and is the capital of Wales. One main attractive feature of the city is that the cost of living is not high for students. The academic quality is high within Cardiff University and this is one of the main reasons why I chose to come to Cardiff. I choose to study this Catalysis course as I think this will give me a promising future. In addition, the tutors are very experienced and they all teach in lectures and the laboratory, and encourage us to explore the subject by doing more reading after class by ourselves, which is very important. I am very interested in the reactions which promoted by catalysts and the latest methods of solving the world's problems. By using the most advanced technology offered by the University, we have the opportunities to know how the catalysts work and what we should do to improve the chemical process. Within the School of Chemistry, the Cardiff Catalysis Institute (CCI) is located. The CCI is an internationally leading research group and is in the top 5 of such teams worldwide. I believe that in this school, I can obtain more than I could previously imagine. After completing the course, I hope that I can work in the chemistry company in UK in areas where I can use my Catalysis MSc knowledge. Alternatively I will apply for a PhD in UK, obviously I will choose catalysis as the main focus of my research.
Apurva Chindarkar – India; MSc in Physical Organic Chemistry
Having undertaken a Bachelor of Technology, focusing on Organic Chemistry, I was looking for a Masters course which is specifically dedicated to the synthesis and mechanisms part of organic compounds, and Cardiff University offered the exact course I was looking for. The course has modules tailored towards my interests, which also enhances my Chemistry knowledge. I am really happy and satisfied that I chose Cardiff University for my post-graduate study.
Tarandip Narang - Trinidad & Tobago ; MSc. Chemical biology
After graduating with a BSc. in Biochemistry and then working for a few years in the field, I decided that I wanted to earn a postgraduate degree. Many areas of science interested me and I was unsure of what options were best suited for me. I was advised by a kind and helpful member of staff of Cardiff University that the MSc in Chemical biology is a suitable degree for me due to my academic and work background. When I got accepted for this degree I visited Cardiff and was overwhelmed by its beauty, elegance, and its Welsh culture. The staff members including the professors are very understanding and hospitable and the campus is filled with several places to study including many libraries and study rooms. The MSc in Chemical Biology involves various topics including organic chemistry, biology and biochemistry, and because of this a wide variety of research and work possibilities will be available afterwards. Even though this degree is very demanding, I have still managed to become extremely fond of some topics such as Natural Products, Drug Design and Biocatalysis. Due to my interest in these areas, I would like to further my studies by pursuing a PhD in the future. If given the opportunity, I will not hesitate to return to Cardiff for future academic or work purposes.

Inching ever so close to 2013. That sounds like the future doesn't it—2013.
In the 80s, if you would've told me that we wouldn't be using hover-boards by 2013 I probably wouldn't have believed you.
We have big plans tonight, Mad Men party with Betsy!
This is the dress I last minute ordered while I had the flu from this very nice Etsy seller.
I practiced my winged eyeliner last night, thanks to this blogger for some tips. Although I have to say the tape trick didn't really work for me, I just freehand the wing.
Very excited to be ringing in the New Year with my friend once again. Happy New Year everyone!

What does the U.S. military spend annually to stay cool on bases in the war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan? $20.2 billion, former Iraq war logistics chief Brigadier Gen. (Ret.) Steven Anderson told NPR. A gallon of gas to power an air conditioner in Afghanistan must be shipped to Karachi, Pakistan, then spend 18 days travelling for 800 miles over land in fuel convoys, dangerous transportation operations in which Anderson calculates over 1,000 U.S. troops have lost their lives. Anderson added that a policy stating, "We will no longer build anything other than energy efficient structures in Iraq and Afghanistan," would have a "profound effect."

NEW: Meet some of Georgia's hottest rising senior prospects in the Class of 2010 and share your thoughts on where they should consider signing, what they should work on and if they're all that
The P-word is scaring some of Florida State's top recruiting targets. "FSU is not as high as they were with me because of probation," said Newnan safety Alec Ogletree, who is considered Georgia's No. 1 prospect with 33 early offers. "Florida State was my childhood favorite. I'm still open to them. I'm just not sure about getting involved with any program on probation. We'll just see how it all plays out."
Gainesville's Blake Sims has been offered by FSU as a dual-threat quarterback. "That hurt me a lot when they got on probation because I was so high on them. My feelings have jumped back a little bit. I want to go to a school where I can trust everybody on the coaching staff. If I go to a school that has been put on probation, I don't feel like I'd be able to trust them."
According to the AP, Florida State's athletic program received four years probation from the NCAA and will lose scholarships in football and may have to forfeit games because of a widespread academic cheating scandal involving 10 sports.
"Florida State dropped down a lot with me because they got in all that trouble," said Loganville tailback Storm Johnson, who has 10 offers. "They have a great program, but I don't think I want to be any part of that."
Lowndes offensive tackle Ed Christian is one of two juniors that have committed to Florida State. He said he intends to remain loyal to the Seminoles, at least for now. "I guess if you do bad things, then you deserve the punishment. I'm not worried about probation, though. It doesn't affect me. Other schools have been talking to me, but FSU is the school where I want to be at, no matter what."

Deion was a character, Vince really wanted him but he told him Athens was too far north because it made his jerry curl freeze… Wish you luck, hope you get to go to more games this year.

1:57 pm
Ben thanks. I have no issue with FSU as a whole and have family in Tallahasee some have even worked for FSU. Also Bowden is a great guy as others have stated. I'll take my shots at fans for either school who do not know what they're talking about.
UGA Basketball… dunno don't really care as long as they do not get the school in trouble (as they have in the past) I'm happy. As for most UGA fans not sure but FSU created enemies in the old conservative fans with the Neon Deon days. Dunno isn't my opinion.
I was looking at LSU's and Tenn.'s records against UF and they are not much better. Hats off to FSU they did better than anyone against UF until Urban rolled into town. Bowden more less owned Spurrier and Zook.
'09 UGA? better team leadership and a more balanced offense that does not rely on the arm of a heavily hyped QB. Hopefully heathly OL and DLs. UGA has been short on those the past 2 seasons.
March 12th, 2009
12:10 pm
Hey Gator Guy… So what. I am not refuting UFs place as a national power. Recently you guys have been the best. Congrats. What doesn't UF and FSU have in common? A Rhode Scholar that plays football.
March 12th, 2009
11:57 am
Ben- FSU likes to re-wright history. Ask them what year they were established. A few years ago, they decided to change it so now they are older than UF. It was so easy, they might decided that they are in fact the oldest university in the country. It would be just as much BS.
Unlike UGA (whose only issue with UF is that they can't beat them in football), FSU has a MAJOR inferiority complex. They the lesser school academically and athletically and they know it.
What does does every UF and FSU student have in common? They all got into FSU!
March 12th, 2009
11:47 am
From play I saw in 2008, UGA has bigger issues then FSU's recent dealings with the NCAA (the same governing body that embarrassingly tried to remove "Seminoles" as the official school mascot despite a long relationship and official approval of the Florida Seminole Indian Tribe).
So UGA… what's in store for 2009?
March 12th, 2009
11:27 am
Just a question. Why do UGA fans have such an obession with FSU not doing the right thing, when Georgia's basketball program got the death penalty? Haven't you guys been an probation for 6 yrs?

Oh the rain !
As piddling as it was, I was so deliriously happy to see some .. soaking.. soaking .... soaking into my grass and onto my plants.
Smells so good !

Definately to Cardi,why...its raining so need cardi...cardi knitting weather....Etonian; of Eaton, where they wear as uniform a short jacket reaching only to waist and worn open in front(out of oxford dictionary)essentialy a cardie, well nearly...send some rain to the west please we are desparate...
- Anushka – (7:16 am)
O no! Don't go for the Etonian look! You don't want your Grumbles to have anything to do with that school. It may sound nice, in a P.G. Wodehouse sort of way, but Eton schoolboys are obnixious, snooty, snobbish prudes. (Three of my cousins go to Eton. I have witnessed the change.)
I say...Press on with the cardi. But maybe not as a cardi? You could make a little bolero-type thing which would mean that you wouldn't have to buy heaps more of that yarn.
And rain? You want rain? Come over to London, we've got plenty of that! (More than enough, actually. too much.)

I really like the idea of Anushka's for a bolero, or maybe a vest? maybe you could varigate the stripes a little so they are not so regimented? will break the colour up differently.

I was going to say a vest- but I see that's already been said, so I'll second that suggestion!
Yes the rain this week has been so refreshing..
