The rise of semiconductor electronics, and the underlying manufacturing technology for them, is among the most important global developments of the past half-century. Integrated circuits—silicon chips—have transformed communication, transportation, commerce, military force, and culture. Clearly, insights into the dynamics that have brought us this silicon revolution are vital to our understanding of the world today, and our common future. This new offering from CHF places the silicon revolution in a broad context and charts Gordon Moore's development of his eponymous law across its forty-year life.
Over the past four decades, Moore's law has served as a remarkable guide to the dynamics of the silicon revolution. Born as an observation and medium-term prediction about the economic and technical trends at play in the youth of the semiconductor industry, it grew to become, at first, an industry expectation and, later, the organizing goal of a multibillion-dollar global industrial segment. With the proliferation of silicon chips into nearly every aspect of contemporary life, Moore's law is increasingly looked to as a bellwether for the whole of technological development.

One of our most exotic of Asian mixes yet, Vicky is half Brazilian and half Japanese and Mr. Chew is 100% pleased with this mix. During the interview, she told us that she has such an oral fixation and can not get enough of sucking dick. We had to put her to the test so our man came out and she was ready to show us she was not joking. As she took it all the way down, we knew Mr. Chew would be pleased at her cock sucking skills. Not only was she a talented cocksucker, but she got on his hard cock and fucked him like a pro!
As Mr. Chew's popularity rises, his fans are starting to contact him to see if they are hot enough to be one of his Asian Beavers. Celia has been a fan of Mr. Chew for quite sometime and finally got up the nerves to contact us to see if she had what it takes to become one of his Beavers. When she arrived at the studio, we knew right away Mr. Chew would approve. Taking some photos and getting her ready for her first scene, Barry made sure to give her the fucking she came in for and to make her one of Mr. Chews Asian Beavers!
Back on his search for the hottest Asian Beavers, Mr. Chew found himself in the UK. Hoping to find a sexy Asian Beaver with an even sexier accent, Mr. Chew came across Hannah. This self proclaimed sluttiest nineteen year old, was thrilled that Mr. Chew was interested in her for our site. Sending her to California to the studio, Billy had no trouble giving her the fucking she came to the states for!
Mr. Chew has been pleased at our progress and gave Billy a job to go find recruits for our site. He was stoked to get a chance to find hot Asian Beavers and he did not want to let him down. While out he saw one of Mr. Chew's favorite, a sexy Asian with natural big tits. Billy knew he would be pleased and went up to her and told her about our site. She was willing to do some modeling and then take if from there. After a tour of the studio we took some photos and she got so turned on that we put down the camera and got the video camera. Kim was so horny she for some big American cock she got her chance to be our newest Asian Beaver!
The popularity of Mr. Chew has spread and Kita has heard of his web site. She sent in a photo of her and was wondering if Mr. Chew would approve. Mr. Chew happily approved and replied back with directions to the studio. When Kita showed up we could see why Mr. Chew gave his approval. Billy was even happier as he was getting his cock sucked by this hot Asian beaver!
Back in the states to get his new travel plans in order, Mr. Chew hit the night clubs in Chinatown to see if he could find us our next Asian beaver. Sure enough he knew he was at the right spot when he saw Amai. She just turned eighteen and was not sure what she wanted to do in life yet. Mr. Chew gave her some guidance and offered her a job and gave her the directions to the studio. When Amai got there she was welcomed and got right into the interview process. After all the interview she got right to getting her first cock on camera and we got it all just for you!

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A lawyer who worked for the Social Security Administration in St. Louis has admitted that he defrauded the agency.
Federal prosecutors say 37-year-old Robert Brauker of St. Louis pleaded guilty Tuesday to two felony counts of theft of government property.
Brauker received disability benefits beginning in 1993 due to vision problems. Prosecutors say Brauker was supposed to report any income he made but didn't do so in 2003 and 2010.
When he applied for work as an attorney-adviser with the Social Security Administration, he said he worked as a sole practitioner for roughly 20 hours a week. But prosecutors say he hadn't reported those earnings.
Sentencing was set of Jan. 15, 2013.

Joe Cunneen
This past Sunday the world saw the passing of Joe Cunneen, by any standards a great twentieth century American Catholic. Together with his wife Sally and Bill Birmingham, Joe published Cross Currents for half a century. Yes, I said half a century, fifty years to be precise. In that time he was principally responsible for bringing to the American Catholic audience some of the best writings of continental European theologians, before and after Vatican II. Rahner and Kng and Congar and Schillebeeckx and many, many others appeared in the pages of the mag.The excuse for including a note on Joe in the Verdicts column is that for all the greatness of the achievement of Cross Currents Joe was much more. He was a great Francophile, indeed had met his wife Sally in Paris just after the end of the Second World War and always remained especially interested in things French. When his time at Cross Currents came to an end and it became the house journal of the Association for Religion and the Intellectual Lifea worthy journal but very different from the one he had editedhe moved on to become the movie critic of The National Catholic Reporter, wrote a fine book on the films of Robert Bresson and also began to promote the writing of the French priest and novelist Jean Sulivan.Anyone who knew Joe will surely agree that his personal intellectual accomplishments were second to his capacity for friendship and his enormous enthusiasm for ideas. To receive a letter from him was always an experience. If the syntax strained the bounds of acceptability, it showed that there was no doubt that here was a mind in ferment, frustrated by the restrictions of the printed word. Here below I am including the official obituary, but it is to be hoped that there will be more appreciations published of Joes immense contribution to the intellectual vigor of American Catholicism. May he rest in peace alongside Sally, his extraordinary and unforgettable wife and colleague."Joseph E. Cunneen, an editor, writer, and teacher on religion, literature, and film, died in his sleep on Sunday at age 89. In 1950, he and his wife, Sally Cunneen, founded Cross Currents, an international ecumenical quarterly that would introduce American readers to such European Catholic thinkers as Emmanuel Mounier and Teilhard de Chardin who would influence the Second Vatican Council. During his 48 years as co-editor, Cross Currents provided a forum for authors such as Hans Kung, Edward Schillebeeckx, Raimundo Panikkar, and Thomas Berry on contemporary religious issues such as feminism, environmentalism, and interfaith dialog."For two decades a film critic for the National Catholic Reporter, Cunneen particularly examined how spirituality was shown in film. His scholarship included studies of filmmakers Bresson, Kieslowski, Rohmer, and Tarkovsky and translations of the novels of Jean Sulivan. He contributed numerous articles to Commonweal, America, Esprit, Midstream, and The Nation. Born in New York City to attorney John Cunneen and teacher Mary Beha Cunneen, he attended Xavier High School and the College of the Holy Cross before serving in the 101st Combat Engineers during WW II. After graduate studies at Catholic University, he taught at Fordham, the College of New Rochelle, St. Peter's College, Baruch, and Mercy College."His partner in life, love, and scholarship was his wife of 60 years, Sally McDevitt Cunneen. After Sally's death of cancer in 2009, Joe's health declined. He leaves behind three sons, Michael, Peter, and Paul; one grandson, Sean; and many devoted friends."

Prof. Lakeland --Do you think that the presence of such literary magazines encourages would-be writers? I would expect so if a review is half=way decent. That's one reason I'm glad Commonweal has started this Verdicts blog. American Catholic publications generally don't seem truly serious about the writing arts. The French seem to take their literary magazines extremely seriously. Maybe that was one reason Mr. Cunneen loved France.
Thank you for this, Paul. Among his many good qualities, Joseph Cunneen was also a Commonweal contributor - here is a piece he wrote about Jean Sulivan, and here is a short story by Sulivan that Cunneen translated for us.
Thank you for posting this great tribute, Paul. Both Sally and Joseph Cunneen received honorary degrees from the College of the Holy Cross in 1991 for their important contributions. It's good to know that students and scholars can read more of Joseph Cuneen's articles through electronic access to "Commonweal" at the College's Dinand Library.
Thanks for this appreciation of Joe and Sally and their work. "A mind in ferment" is an apt description of the moving spirit behind Cross Currents back in the day. I was not able to take classes with Joe when I was at the College of New Rochelle, but more than made up for it over the years by reading (and re-reading) precious copies of that amazing journal that constantly seemed able to show me how limited my own previous perspectives had been. I still remember reading the special issue Cross Currents did of Mounier's "The Spoil of the Violent." It really rocked my boat. I can feel the ripples to this day.

Shoppers brave cold for Downtown Open House
The Christmas season is in full swing in Downtown Bristol.
Stores are hoping for plenty of business during the annual downtown open house. An event where stores are open late and some are offering deals for customers. "[We're] definitely hoping for a big crowd. We hope we are very welcomed from the community tonight and we hope we see the outpour of love for us," says Sarah Redman at Phyl's on State Street.
Phyl's is new to downtown is hoping for a successful evening. Customers there are getting with 20 percent off everything to help people with their holiday gift list.
"We are hoping for a very large crowd to welcome us to the downtown area, we are very excited to be downtown. It has been just a great experience to move down here," adds Redman.
Someone who isn't new to the night is Karen Hester. She owns Cranberry Lane and says the night is the biggest for her business, "It's our single busiest sales day of the entire year. It beats even black Friday."
Hester says she plans all year long for this event and says her normal staff of four jumps to 15 for the open house. "We actually have customers that take vacation days to come down and enjoy the festivities tonight," adds Hester.
It's an annual event to kick off the Christmas season and help boost some bottom lines.

Pros and Cons of School Uniforms
Q: I would like to know the pros and cons of school uniforms, especially in the middle school years.
A: There is no good scientific data to prove that wearing school uniforms in any grade leads to better academic performance or an improved school environment. I wrote a column on school uniforms, which looks at the anecdotal findings presented by school uniform advocates and offers my opinion on the issue. Perform a keyword search on our site with "school uniforms" and you'll find my column and other relevant information and discussions.

Why Our Gun Debate Is Off Target
America's gun owners have every right to object to sweeping controls, but until they take responsibility for their own role in accidents and violence, they're setting themselves up for more regulation.
Believe it or not, what's missing from the current shout-fest over guns and gun control is the voice of gun owners.
Yes, the National Rifle Association has been screaming its head off since the tragedy at Sandy Hook, but the NRA doesn't speak for the country's 100 million gun owners. If it did, it wouldn't have just four million members. Some "gun guys" (as I like to call them) probably support the NRA without joining, but if only 4% are signing up, it's safe to say a large majority of them want nothing to do with the NRA's angry extremism.
As for those on the gun-control side, they often go beyond calling for policy changes, about which reasonable people can disagree, and issue broad-brush insults that aren't acceptable in other contexts. When sportscaster Bob Costas blames "gun culture" for the murder-suicide of an NFL linebacker, gun owners say, "Wait a minute. I'm gun culture. And my guns haven't hurt anybody."
Related Video
A lot of assumptions are made about gun owners, by the NRA and gun-control proponents alike. What nobody ever seems to do, though, is listen to them.
I recently drove 15,000 miles around the country doing just that, talking to gun guys in their homes and garages, at gun shows and ranges, at gun stores and in the woods, trying to figure out why they are so deeply attracted to firearms and why guns inspire such passion on all sides. In part, it was a voyage of self-discovery. I'm a weirdo hybrid: a lifelong gun guy who is also a lifelong liberal Democrat. I often feel like the child of a bitter divorce who has allegiance to both parents.
I obtained a concealed-carry permit and wore a gun every place I went. I'd flash it like a Masonic pin, and gun guys poured out their stories. They seemed very glad finally to be asked about their gun lives by someone who was both sympathetic and not trying to manipulate them.

The fondness for firearms is complex. At their simplest, guns are beautifully made things, richly satisfying to handle. The one with which I hunt was made in 1900, for the Spanish-American War. At a gun store in Minnesota, a big man put his credit card on the counter to buy a Glock, and as he waited for his receipt he turned to me with a sigh of satisfaction. "Tell me another thing I can buy for $400 that my grandchildren will be using," he said. (This, by the way, is one of the problems with gun bans; unless we're willing to go house to house rounding them up, the country's 300 million privately owned guns are going to last forever.)
Then there's the Zen pleasure of marksmanship. One competitor at a match in Kentucky called it "a martial art," but even less serious shooting is a hoot. At a machine-gun shoot in the Arizona desert—yes, machine guns are legal with the right permit—I rented a Thompson submachine gun and fired it into an arroyo strewed with junked cars and sticks of dynamite. Choose the most antigun peacenik you know, let her shoot a Tommy gun at a stick of dynamite, then ask if it was fun.
During a break in the shooting, I got a lesson in how guns connect us to our past. Men lovingly discussed the industrial-era designs of their 1896 Argentine Maxims and 1916 Vickers. As much as they were gun guys, they were history buffs and patent freaks.
Gun guys also talked of the welcome discipline that living with guns imposed on their lives, of their patriotic pride in the unique trust that America places in its people. They also get a charge from their proximity to the grim reaper. They stand apart from those who fear firearms, saying, essentially, "I am master of this death-dealing device, and you are not. I am prepared for the kind of situation you can't even bring yourself to think about." To live intimately with such lethal devices, to be able to handle them safely, is a powerful self-esteem builder.
Although I did my best to avoid gun politics, the subject came up constantly. What came through loudest of all was that gun guys feel insulted. The caustic and routine dismissal of "gun culture" is only part of it. Gun guys look at the most strident advocates of gun control and say, "You know nothing about what it means to handle guns, but you presume to make judgments about my ability to do so."
From Arizona to Michigan, I found America full of working people who won't listen to Democrats about anything because of the party's identification with gun control. A parks-and-recreation worker in Wisconsin told me he was offended by the Democrats' view "that guns are for the unwashed, the yokels." It's hard to think of a better organizing tool for the right than the left's tribal antipathy to guns.
Americans who report having a gun in the home
Source: Gallup
But my fellow gun guys have plenty to answer for, too. We don't live in a vacuum. Our guns affect everybody, and the non-gun-owning public has a right to expect things to improve. More than ever, after the transformative horror of Sandy Hook, the old defensive crouch is inadequate. If gun culture is to survive, gun guys need to get in the game. If we want to hold on to our guns, we need to be part of the solution.
Lacking a national church, Americans have few ways of expressing public morality except by saying, "There oughta be a law." So both sides of our "gun debate" can think no further than what government might do. Gun controllers call for more restrictive laws, gun guys gnash their teeth over same. Meanwhile, the single step that I believe would save the most lives wouldn't involve government at all.
As individuals, the majority of gun guys are achingly responsible with their guns. As a community, though, they are lethal—so focused on criminals and government as the villains that they have failed to examine how they themselves might help to reduce the number of gun fatalities.
The wrongest of wrong hands for guns aren't necessarily those of criminals but of curious children and depressed teenagers. Accidental child death is one of the few gun statistics that has grown worse since 1999. Teenage gun suicide is a lot lower than it was in 1999, but it's still heartbreakingly high. Almost half the teenagers who kill themselves do it with a gun, and, unlike those who try it with pills, car exhaust, razorblades, or a rope, they almost always succeed.
Where are those children and teenagers getting the guns? Not from gun stores, thanks to age minimums. Not from gun shows, either, unless they're getting an adult to buy them. And not from some murky "illegal gun market." They're getting them, by and large, from adults who leave them around, where immature hands can find them.
The same goes for career criminals. In the mid-1980s, the sociologists James Wright and Peter Rossi asked some 2,000 violent felons in prison about their gun lives. Almost half the guns that the felons described were stolen. Add to that the ones they thought were "probably" stolen, and the figure jumped to 70%. Most were stolen from households. An estimated half-million guns a year go missing in the U.S. and end up in criminal hands.
And then there are the tens of thousands of shootings every year by people who aren't criminals until they pick up a gun. Tempers flare, a gun is at hand, and tragedy ensues.
To the legislatures of 27 states and the District of Columbia, the solution to both problems seems obvious: Require guns to be locked up, trigger-locked, stored separately from their ammunition, or some combination of the three. A lot of gun guys hate these laws. They argue that a gun separated from its ammunition, disabled or locked away is useless in an emergency.
Not true. I keep my handgun loaded in the bedroom, in a metal safe the size of a toaster that pops open the second I punch in a three-digit code. I bought it on eBay EBAY -0.03 % for $25. The gun is secure but instantly available—to me only. Many gun guys use such safes. They just don't want to be told to use them.
Neither do they want to be ordered to report a stolen gun to the police. Lots of gun guys consider it tyranny to have to tell the police anything about their guns, and they have kept most jurisdictions from passing stolen-gun laws. Only seven states and the District of Columbia make reporting a stolen gun mandatory.
But if we gun guys are the paragons of civic virtue that we claim to be, why do we have to be ordered to lock up our guns or report a gun theft? Wouldn't a responsible citizen do that anyway?
We gun guys are operating under a double standard. We want to be left alone to buy, use and carry guns because, we say, we understand firearms better than any bureaucrat. But at the same time, enough of us behave so carelessly that thousands of people are needlessly killed, injured or victimized every year by guns left lying around.
Is a gun guy who keeps his guns properly secured responsible for some knucklehead who doesn't? If the NRA is consistent in its logic, the answer is yes. Solidarity is a constant theme of the NRA, which exhorts its members to lobby and vote in support of the wider community of gun owners.
But that is where the NRA's vision of service to the community ends. For the NRA to suggest that law-abiding gun owners are responsible in any way for gun violence would shatter the notion that only criminals are to blame. So while the NRA trains people in gun safety and publishes books about gun care, it avoids drawing a connection between the carelessness of law-abiding gun owners and America's still-high rate of needless gun death.
What could the NRA and the community of responsible gun owners do to reduce gun deaths without government intervention? They could make unsafe gun behavior socially unacceptable, just as it has become unthinkable, among most Americans, to smoke inside another person's house or to make lascivious comments about underage girls.
Some are trying. Robert Farago, who writes a popular gun blog called The Truth About Guns, runs a regular feature called "Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day"—often a YouTube video of young men acting stupidly or a news item about a needless tragedy. After Arizona instituted "constitutional carry"—allowing any adult to carry a concealed gun with no training or permit—a group called TrainMeAZ.com organized to urge citizens to get trained and to help them find trainers.
But these are lonely voices. The big dog, the NRA, has for decades run a monthly feature in its magazines called "The Armed Citizen," about people successfully defending themselves with firearms. Were it to call its members to a higher standard of responsibility with a complementary column called, say, "The Armed Bonehead," it would reach millions more people than either Mr. Farago or TrainMeAZ.
Imagine how gun culture could change if gun guys refused to hang out with those who left guns lying around their houses. "Sorry, dude. I'm not shooting with you until you clean up your act." Or if gun guys refused to shop at stores that sold home-defense guns without insisting that buyers also take safes to keep them in. Little by little, shooters and gun stores would get the message, and the problem of unsecured guns—the main source of gun tragedy—would wither away.
Gun guys are right to object to government officials who propose sweeping gun controls without understanding guns. But until they take responsibility for the gun violence that so frightens their fellow citizens, they're setting themselves up for more regulation. Taking collective responsibility for social problems is not the same thing as knuckling under to a tyrannical government. In fact, it's the opposite.

I am cooking a chickpea stew and clearly used too much Saffron (high chlorine taste). Does anyone know what I can use to balance out or mask the flavour?
Searching for information about the taste of saffron, it seems that there are two camps - saffron that tastes of chlorine or plastic, and saffron that tastes/smells indescribably like saffron, perhaps earthy or like hay. Although it can taste bitter when used in larger amounts - e.g. a dash rather than a pinch. Some people find it can taste metallic or "hospital-y" which does match with the chemicals found in saffron, rather than this being a reault of an filler or fake-ness.
From Wikipedia (but they give no references) "Saffron's aroma is often described by connoisseurs as reminiscent of metallic honey with grassy or hay-like notes, while its taste has also been noted as hay-like and sweet."
So yours is possibly mixed with something or not real saffron. Or maybe you are using too much - the amount needed depends on the purity and grade. Therefore, the way to balance out or mask the flavour is probably to get real saffron or use less. If you are asking how to balance it in a dish you have already made, this is obviously not so useful! The other thing is that if you want the colour but not the taste, you can use turmeric.
How expensive was yours? And was it powder or threads? It is generally recommended that to get the threads for better taste, and I imagine these are harder to adulterate.

I often work on lessons for ESL students - texts, dialogues, etc. I'm not a native speaker and I don't have any friends abroad. I often need copyeditors for my lessons, but I seem to have trouble finding the right people for the job. I need editors who could not only point out spelling and grammar mistakes, but also find any inconsistencies in the texts and make them easier to read. I tried hiring editors from different "proofreading" websites, but none of them did a really thorough job on my texts. Any tips as to where should I look for the right people?

This isn't a bad question, and it is a problem. TBH, I'm not sure how to get around it, either. That being said, the normal places you'd go for this kind of thing is the 800lb gorilla: Elance.
The trouble with this is that most clients (the ones buying freelancer services) are price-buyers. That is, all they care about is how cheap they can get someone to do X or Y. Quality is a distant second or third consideration. That means a lot of the freelancers that are drawn to places like Elance aren't very good. (Because the good ones have a steady stream of work, or work for someone else.) You can't really expect high quality work when you're paying crap wages. (The equivalent of $10/hr isn't enough to entice anyone but the really desperate, or people who live in other countries whose primary language isn't English.)
All the same, you don't have enough work to justify contacting a translation agency, and you don't have the funding to post a job ad on a quality board. (Writers.StackExchange doesn't have a careers section like StackOverflow.) So that leaves you with creative approaches to getting quality people.
The problem with these approaches is credibility, particularly because people are rightly skeptical of overseas work with Sakawa being so prevalent, so be prepared to be rejected quite a bit, and be prepared to have to make a substantial up-front, good-faith deposit before getting someone to commit. Be prepared to lose a bit of money if people bail on you. (These are mitigated a bit with approach #1 and #3.)
Good luck!

Greek Mythology is the collection of stories and beliefs of the ancient Greek civilization thousands of years ago. The mythology we know today was more encompassing than a simple religion; it dictated all aspects of the lives of these ancient people. There were a great number of deities with varying amounts of power and complicated family trees.
There is such a huge amount of literature about this time, and some people make entire careers studying the ancient Greeks. While they might find every detail fascinating, most of us are really only interested in some of the more fascinating characters, and specifically, gods and goddesses.
The greatest of the Greek gods and goddesses lived and ruled from a beautiful palace high on Mount Olympus. The most important of the deities could be nicknamed, The Big Twelve, and this group was comprised of seven major gods and five major goddesses. Of course, women are infinitely more interesting than men, so naturally they have some of the most interesting stories.
Hera does what she can to protect her marriage, but since she can't punish her husband, she usually just punishes his paramours. In one instance, she tricked a girl into having Zeus reveal his true form. Of course, mortals can't look at a god's true form, so the girl was fried. In another instance, Hera was jealous of Leto who was pregnant with Zeus's child. Hera banned Leto from delivering on firm earth, and then tried to prevent Leto from going in to labor. Eventually other goddesses intervened and Leto had twins, Artemis and Apollo.
Hera had two notable children. Ares, the god of war, was born legitimately of Hera and Zeus. Hera also had a son, Hephaestus, by herself. She was jealous that Zeus had grown a baby, Dionysus, in his thigh (after Hera had tricked his mother to her crispy death), so she created Hephaestus by herself. Unfortunately, Hephaestus was ugly and crippled, so she threw him off Mount Olympus. He became the blacksmith of the gods, and at one point tricked Hera into sitting in a throne that imprisoned her. Hephaestus did release her when he was offered Aphrodite as a wife.
Aphrodite is responsible for starting one of the most well-known wars of the age. Hera, Aphrodite, and Athena all claimed possession of a golden apple inscribed, "To the Fairest." Paris, a mere mortal, was selected to judge who really was the most beautiful, which boiled down to a contest of bribes. Aphrodite bribed Paris with the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, who was already married to the King of Sparta. Of course, Paris chose Aphrodite, and his abduction of the promised Helen caused the Trojan War.
Persephone was extremely beautiful and the light of Demeter's life. Hades, the god of the underworld, became fixated with Persephone, too. He abducted Persephone from the earth and took her to his kingdom in the underworld. Demeter had no idea where her beloved daughter had gone, and was miserable. Persephone had been playing with some nymphs at the time, and Demeter later turned those nymphs into the Sirens to punish them for not interfering with the kidnapping.
All nature on earth came to a standstill while Demeter searched for her daughter. The earth was essentially dead, and many men and animals were starving from the lack of food. Finally Zeus interfered and sent Hermes, the messenger of the gods, to rescue Persephone. Hades released her, but tricked Persephone into eating four (or six depending on the story) pomegranate seeds before she left. Eating the food of the underworld condemns the eater, so Persephone must now return to the underworld as Hades' wife four (or six) months of the year. During those months, Demeter still mourns her daughter and the earth is again cold and dreary. We now call this dead time, winter.
There are many other goddesses of Greek mythology, including Athena and Artemis, both of The Big Twelve. All gods and goddesses have unique stories and personalities, which certainly make for interesting research and reading, even if I can't fit all their stories into a single article. Perhaps there will be more to come.

These Aryan images of fairytales are damaging, racist and absolutely exclusory. The majority of the world's population are non caucasian, a black child doesn't grow up with these Disney images, bleached white stories feeling that they in any way shape or form can relate, there is nothing there to relate to [ . . .]
What is engraved on a black child's mind, a black adult's mind is that these cultural stories, fables and histories are not mine, that I'm living in a society where there's no shared experience.
"I can't relate to fairy tales because they're full of white people" is the same feeling as "I can't relate to a black Sugar Plum Fairy." If one is racist, so is the other. In fact, young kids have to be taught that skin color matters. They're not natural racists.
Lastly you [Cristian] talk of the connoisseur audience? I feel really uneasy with this word, like "unfortunate" to describe a policy of institutionalised racism, it's an anodyne misnomer disguising the fact that people don't want to see a black woman or man onstage.
Where is the evidence of racist balletgoers? I thought the problem was that ADs weren't casting black dancers, so audiences didn't get to see them. If there is a pool of black talent not getting onstage, that's everyone's loss. If a black dancer devotes her early life to ballet and skin color holds her back, that's a tragedy. But a preference, however narrow-minded, for art of one ethnicity over another is not by definition racist in the sense that everyone really uses the word, to mean a character fault. It undoubtedly is in some cases, but it needn't be. It just looks that way on the surface when there is a history of racism. If I go see a reggae band, I'd prefer they weren't from Kansas (there was some such band, as you probably know, and they were supposed to be great) - is that a racist preference? I think racism will be with us as long as human nature is, but the races will get along a lot better if we're slow to presume ill will.

Shane Baldauf, an architecture and environmental design major at CU-Boulder who is dedicated to "green" and affordable housing, has been awarded a prestigious Udall Scholarship.
"Not only is 'green' construction good for the environment, but homes that perform more efficiently benefit the occupants too," said Baldauf. "If you think about it, the people who most need affordable housing are also the ones who need the lowest utility bills, and we're working to provide that situation through Habitat for Humanity houses."
Since setting foot on the campus with a Boettcher Scholarship, Baldauf has committed to using the time he would have spent working to pay for college for volunteering. His volunteer work with Flatirons Habitat for Humanity has enriched his interest in sustainable building practices and civic engagement.
Baldauf co-founded the company BOULD, to help affordable housing builders implement sustainability and efficient resource consumption into their construction projects. BOULD implements a program called HabitatPro, which helps integrate U.S. Green Building Council benchmarks called Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, standards into Habitat for Humanity construction.
Through HabitatPro, professionals and students working and volunteering grow from experiential learning opportunities. Baldauf is working with Habitat for Humanity affiliates in seven states to help build better homes for deserving families.
The scholarship from the Morris K. Udall and Stewart L. Udall Foundation is awarded to U.S. sophomores and juniors with a commitment to careers related to the environment, Native American health care, or tribal public policy.
"Students can come out and gain unique, hands-on experience by building LEED homes, while also earning LEED professional credentials," said Baldauf. "These Habitat houses are some of the most sustainable being built anywhere, and the experience gives participants a leg up in the building design and construction job market."

Plastic Baby Bottles and Cancer Risk
Last Modified: March 22, 2012
Do plastic baby bottles cause cancer? I heard I should get some special baby bottles but was not sure if that is true or not.
Charles B. Simone, II, MD, Radiation Oncologist at Penn Medicine responds:
There has been some evidence that drinking from bottles with bisphenol A (BPA) can be harmful. This chemical is similar to a female sex hormone. However, a there is no definitive evidence of a cancer risk with drinking from bottles with BPA. More research is needed to determine if there truly is a risk. However, to be safe, consumers may wish to be cautious and look for BPA-free baby bottles. Many plastic baby bottles and sippy cups are labeled BPA free.

btrfs has finally found its way into the latest kernels, is it considered stable and safe enough to use in a home backup scenario (as an alternative to zfs) ?
closed as too localized by xenoterracide♦ Apr 24 '12 at 1:24
This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
No, and while fuse-ZFS is the bee's knees (having tried it) I wouldn't use it either. It's not a stability issue - both are fairly stable - but one of code maturity.
The roadmap for btrfs in Ubuntu is to have it as the default filesystem by 12.04 LTS. The likely cutover to default will be 11.04, other distributions may have more or less aggressive plans, but watching them is your best cue to the perceived stability and reliability and performance of the code.
What do you mean by "home backup scenario"? If you mean system that is backuped regulary and you can afford lost of some work (
If you mean fs that underlaying backup you probably need rock-stable filesystem - like ext3/4 with ultra conservative options (Your millage may vary which filesystem). Neither zfs-fuse nor btrfs are stable enough.
If you mean that snapshots are your "backup" method - then you have no backup.
Probably you should read gotchas and ask youself at each point "can I afford it happening?".
From my /etc/fstab:
So, in a way, yes, it is. I haven't had a single problem with it. However, I reinstall often (I use Fedora, so I install a new release twice a year) and:
my /home is not on btrfs. :)
Testing new stuff. It's a dirty job, but somebody has to do it.
Novell Suse SLES / SLED 11 support btrfs, so they think it is stable enough for enterprise use. Interesting detail is that they only support readonly ext4. Read/write ext4 is not supported by Novell Suse, forcing enterprise users to use btrfs (or ext3).

You've likely noted the predominance of pink at NFL games this month. Players are sporting pink shoelaces, pink towels, pink gloves and more to raise awareness of breast cancer. But another player's choice to wear bright green in support of another cause landed him in trouble.
Brandon Marshall of the Chicago Bears wore green cleats in his team's Thursday Oct. 10 contest versus the New York Giants in honor of Mental Health Awareness Week. Marshall has said he champions the cause because he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder in 2011.
Unlike pink, however, the green is not an NFL-sanctioned departure from the norm. As such, the league last Tuesday informed Marshall he must pay a fine of $10,500 for his second offense in violating a rule that, according to the letter, states "players on the same team must wear shoes of the same dominant base color." For the Bears, that color is white.
Marshall expected the fine. He even told media beforehand that he would donate an equal amount to a charity involved with mental illness associated with breast cancer diagnosis.
"This fine is nothing compared to the conversation started & awareness raised," Marshall tweeted.
It all begs the question of whether the NFL needs to revisit how it makes exceptions to its uniform policy. Certainly, most people would agree there was no harm in Marshall wearing special shows to draw attention to a very worthy issue. Similarly, it would be tough to find someone who's not on board with the league's October pink movement.
But the rules do serve a legitimate purpose and it could be argued the league is simply trying not to slide too far down a slippery slope. For example, it's pretty clear why officials wouldn't want players from the same team wearing a dozen different styles and/or colors of jerseys - how confusing would that be? It also recently was revealed that, for six years, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers has used clips attaching his visor to his helmet that bore an "Under Armor" logo. That's a no-no because the NFL is trying to protect the interests of its major sponsors, versus a player's personal endorsement deals. The league also has banned some teams from wearing throwback helmets, because the older styles do not meet current safety standards.
So why not simply let players apply to the league to wear a special accessory to highlight a cause near and dear to them, such as mental illness? Perhaps the league doesn't want to be put in a position where it must makes a judgment call about what causes might be considered legitimate. Breast cancer and mental health awareness? Pretty easy. Players wanting to make political statements? Muddier waters. Remember former Bears quarterback Jim McMahon and his Pete Rozelle headbands? Where would that fall?
It would be easy to say the NFL made a bad call in the Marshall scenario. Where should they go from here? Let's hope it's under further review.

I'm hosting a custom editing control in a
DataGridView, which for the record is a
TextBox and
Button together in a
UserControl. I have inherited from
DataGridViewColumn for the new column and
DataGridViewTextBoxCell for the new cell.
With a normal
DataGridViewTextBoxCell, if you press a key when the cell has focus, it will begin edit mode and the character you typed will appear in the
TextBoxEditingControl. However, in my inherited cell, no value is being passed down on keypress. (In fact, you have to manually pass the current cell value in
InitializeEditingControl or nothing will show up at all.) So, the first character you type (the one that begins edit mode) is lost.
I have tried
OnKeyDown, and
OnKeyUp in the
DataGridViewCell but they never get called.
KeyEntersEditMode, however, does seem to get called, and only when it is checking against a pressed key, so this might be a good place to start. The problem then becomes how to translate a KeyEventArgs to a
char. This is trivial for alphabet and numbers, but since not all keyboards are created equal, handling other keys is messy and complicated at best. If there's a converter class that will do this automagically, please enlighten me.
Has anyone else encountered this problem or found a good workaround?
Note: This problem applies when
EditMode is set to any variation of
EditOnKeystroke. Setting to
EditOnEnter is a valid workaround for my project, but I'd like to emulate the default behavior of the
TextBoxEditingControl as well.

I have a database with the following structure (star schema):
pros integer
mena integer
me integer
vahet double precision
slutttp timestamp without time zone
Structure of each dimension table is:
"name" character varying(40),
id integer NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT dim_me_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id)
My fact table is huge with several billion rows and the dimension tables contain several thousand rows.
I use a tool to write queries (tableausoftware.com), this means that I cannot write my queries intelligently. And I have to use that tool. So my solution was to rewrite the queries which are generated by that tool.
For ex.
Original query:
select dim_me.name,
case when
dim_me.name like 'k%' then 'something'
else 'egg'
end as egg,
from dim_me, facttable
where dim_me.id = facttable.me group by name;
Needless to say, such a query is simply hopelessly suboptimal. Therefore in order to increase the performance, I rewrite the above query as:
select dim_me.name,
when dim_me.name like 'k%' then 'something'
else 'egg'
end as egg,

NCSF Steps Up for Detroit
NCSF is there to help you when you need it. Just ask the Detroit
BDSM community, who recently came under fire from a local news
affiliate. The NBC Channel 4 Defenders were out to get a sensational
story on Robert Bashara, whose wife was murdered in January, 2012.
Since Bashara's BDSM activities had become public, the Defenders
took concealed cameras in to a local BDSM party to take photographs of
people while they were playing.
Dateline NBC was going to air a show later that week about Bashara
that included his BDSM activities, so there was no possibility of
killing the story. The situation was further acerbated by a member of
the local community who gave an interview to the news stating that she
had seen Bashara at one of the local BDSM parties at the VFW Hall in
Lincoln Park.
The morning of Tuesday, May 8th, NCSF started receiving phone calls
from people who were recognizable in the promotional clip. The story
was going to air at 11pm that night. NCSF Spokesperson Susan Wright
immediately contacted the news station to convince them to adequately
blur the images of the people they had photographed without
permission. She also coordinated a write-in campaign from those who
were recognizable, and communicated directly with several dozen local
community members and leaders.
The added pressure of outraged letters from the community convinced
the reporters to include positive sound bites about BDSM that Susan
provided. They also changed the title of the piece from "Dungeons of
Debauchery" to "Bob Bashara's Alternative Lifestyle." The
images that were recognizable were removed from the website and the
promotional clips that were released later in the day were much more
blurred. The news segment also contained images that were
The following week, on May 19th, NCSF hosted a full day's schedule
of events at the VFW in Lincoln Park. NCSF Chairperson Leigha Fleming
ran town hall style meeting for the local BDSM community leadership from 2pm-4pm.
The leadership of more than 20 groups was represented. Leigha gave NCSF's
workshop on how to protect your groups/events for local community leaders.
From 4-6 PM an open town hall for everyone in the community was held so
people could get their questions answered and discuss ways to
further protect the BDSM community and to promote education of those
outside our community. Leigha also gave the NCSF workshop on how an individual can
protect their privacy more effectively. A raffle and silent auction was held to raise
donations for NCSF. 2 organizations joined NCSF as Coalition Partners:
The Board of Education and Deviations. More than 20 individual
members joined NCSF as individual members.
A delicious dinner followed at the VFW Hall. Tim, the host of the
party that was filmed by the news channel, said, "Over the past
week, the VFW has been more supportive than we could have imagined.
The manager of the VFW told us this week 'I fought in a war so that
people could have the freedom to do what they enjoy, even if it's
not our own cup of tea.'"
In pride, the evening's dinner was followed by the regularly
scheduled BDSM party. "This past week has been trying and tense,"
says Tim. "Several have asked where was the silver lining? We have
high hopes that this can be the silver lining. Rarely do we have a
chance to come together for no other reason than it's the right thing
to do. Because we can support one another. If virtual strangers from
organizations and individuals from all across the globe have lent
their words and actions of support, we surely owe it to ourselves to
match it."
NCSF was proud to assist the Detroit BDSM community in their time
of need. It shows what when we work together, we can accomplish

A Greene County non-profit organization is backing their decision to cancel the appearance of Duck Dynasty star Willie Robertson.
Freewill Baptist Family Ministries has canceled the April 12 show at Viking Hall.
The event was part of a fundraiser to finish construction of a new school building at their campus in Camp Creek.
When the ministry found out that Robertson's family was launching Duck Commander Wines, they felt that would send mixed messages to the young people who are going through their adolescent drug and alcohol program. Derek Bell tells us, "We think they are doing a great job. They are bringing faith and Christianity back into the mainstream. We think that's a wonderful thing. It's just unfortunate the business decision that they had to make and we didn't fell like it fit within our core values."
You can get a full refund at Viking hall Monday through Saturday if you purchased the tickets there. For more information call (423) 764-0188.
If you bought your tickets online, you have to get refunds at E-Tix which we've linked here.
We contacted Duck Commander for a comment about this story, they haven't returned our calls.

A Rosneft takeover of TNK-BP would bring the Russian state's control over oil production to nearly 50% and mark a major milestone in Mr. Putin's reassertion of Kremlin control over the strategic oil sector, much of which was sold off in the privatizations of the 1990s to well-connected tycoons.
By SELINA WILLIAMS and JAMES MARSON
Russian energy giant OAO Rosneft on Monday reached separate
agreements to buy the entirety of oil venture TNK-BP from BP
and a group of Soviet-born billionaires, an acquisition that
promises to reshape the Russian oil industry in favor of the
state-owned company.
"The acquisition of 100% of TNK-BP represents a unique and
compelling strategic opportunity for Rosneft," both in creating
extra value in an enlarged company and in securing an alliance
with an experienced international company like BP, the company
said in a statement Monday.
Under the terms of the transaction, BP will receive $17.1
billion in cash for its 50% stake plus shares representing
12.84% of Rosneft, worth $9.7 billion on the bid date.
It will then use $4.8 billion of that cash to purchase an
additional 5.66% of shares Rosneft from the Russian government,
taking its total holding up to 19.75%, BP said in a
Signing of the definitive agreements between BP and Rosneft
is conditional on the Russian government agreeing to the sale
of the 5.66% stake in Rosneft, BP said.
BP will get two seats on Rosneft's nine-person board as part
of the deal and expects to be able to account for its share of
Rosneft's earnings, production and reserves on an equity
Rosneft also said Monday it has agreed "heads of terms" with
AAR, the consortium that holds the Soviet-born billionaires'
stake in TNK-BP, to acquire the other half of the company for
$28 billion, without providing further details.
"This is a good, big deal, not only for the Russian energy
sector, but also for the Russian economy," said Russian
President Vladimir Putin, after a meeting at which he approved
Rosneft's acquisition of TNK-BP in a meeting with the company's
CEO, Igor Sechin, Russian news agency Interfax
Rosneft will finance the transactions, which have a total
cash value of $45.1 billion, from a combination of existing
cash resources and new borrowings, it said. "No concessionary
financing from government sources will be required," and
Rosneft will sustain its dividend policy, it said.
The deal marks a historic shift in BP's presence in the key
Russian oil market, freeing it from a turbulent joint venture
with AAR and potentially giving it access to Arctic oil
exploration rights that are widely coveted by companies seeking
to replace dwindling oil resources elsewhere.
The transaction enables BP to reap a windfall from the sale
of their stake in Russia's third largest oil producer, which
they paid around $8 billion for in 2003, but which has returned
around $19 billion in dividends.
The deal is also a vindication for BP CEO Bob Dudley,
who suffered a major setback last year when his previous effort
to partner with Rosneft was blocked by opposition from AAR,
which holds the other 50% stake in TNK-BP.
"This investment builds on BP's track record of value
creation in Russia. It is consistent with our strategy of
deepening our positions in the world's most prolific oil and
gas regions," Mr. Dudley said Monday.
A Rosneft takeover of TNK-BP would bring the Russian state's
control over oil production to nearly 50% and mark a major
milestone in Mr. Putin's reassertion of Kremlin control over
the strategic oil sector, much of which was sold off in the
privatizations of the 1990s to well-connected tycoons like
AAR's owners.
Since Mr. Putin came to power in 2000, the tide has turned the
other way in an industry the Kremlin depends on both as a
source of international influence and more than half of all tax

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

brad01 08/31/14 02:04 PM
Agggg. Should I start Rogers at Seattle? Or pickup tannehill for week 1?
kstunder 08/31/14 03:01 PM
There is no scenario under this earth that you start Tannehill over Rodgers... Who asks that kind of question? You don't need rankings for something like that. I remember my first time playing fantasy.
Morrison Mookas 08/31/14 04:08 PM
Rodgers. Never sit your studs.
Chill people, they post Tuesdays if I remember correctly.
RamzFanz 08/31/14 05:33 PM
Hey Morrison, You saw what Seattle did to Manning the last time they met... Hmmn, they raise the Superbowl flag after a Soundgarden concert. Been playing for 15 years - and this is the first time I questioned playing a Stud QB over any D. I was kidding about Tannehill, though that is pretty much all that is left on our waivers... Smith, Hoyer, Hill, Fitzpatrick are the top 4... Fortunately my opponent is starting Lacy - so I expect it to be a wash... I'd gladly would have started Wilson...
kstunder 08/31/14 07:51 PM
Checking a couple of times per day. It's that last flex spot with a couple of guys that is the question mark.
ventbc 09/01/14 12:19 PM
Why is Teddy Bridgewater ranked 25 to start week 1 and Cassel not in the top 34...Matt Cassel is the starter wtf
nick516171 09/02/14 02:01 AM
Cutler over Rodgers it is...
Croathlete 09/02/14 08:26 AM
Should I start DeSean Jackson or Pierre Thomas in the FLEX position, its a PPR league?
Smjeffries2002 09/02/14 09:19 AM
I see FFToolbox is showing Russell Wilson some love ranking him #7 overall in my yardage league. This guy is smart & will produce with his arm & feet weekly. At home against a suspect Packers defense this week... I'm starting Wilson over Brady. www.ccrazyms.com
bruce Leroy 09/02/14 10:06 AM
Bridgewater and Vick are projected for week1 and they arn't even starting while Cassel and Geno arn't even on the list. Come on now fftoolbox....
krazyka85 09/02/14 11:05 AM
Stedman Bailey is listed and he's suspended.
RamzFanz 09/02/14 01:05 PM
Just working out some week one bugs guys, we'll get it right, stand by...
teamlegacy2 09/02/14 03:39 PM
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No Kiddin' I was about to panic!!
(thanks again)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
brad01 09/02/14 06:04 PM
Do I bench Eddie Lacy in favor of Montee Ball and DeMarco Murray? That's what the projections say..
fader1 09/02/14 10:42 PM
Fader1...what league do you play in where you end up with Lacy, Ball and Murray? I want in :-)
In all seriousness...start Lacy. Sorry, I'm not sitting him regardless of opponent in favor of either of those. Do you only start 1 RB ? Can you put one of those in a flex spot?
charlottecubfan 09/02/14 11:37 PM
SmJeffries...PPR I'm going Pierre Thomas over DJax.
charlottecubfan 09/02/14 11:39 PM
Folks, remember...if you're logged in and viewing this, your seeing the rankings based on YOUR league scoring system (whatever scoring and roster requirements you have).
charlottecubfan 09/02/14 11:41 PM
I'm in a keeper league via ESPN. It's a dynasty/keeper format. I start two RB's, and no there is not a flex.
fader1 09/03/14 01:48 AM
So, it's pick 2 of 3 Lacy, Montee Ball, and D. Murray?
fader1 09/03/14 01:49 AM
Hmmm I have a CJ conundrum... do i start cj spiller vs chicago or chris johnson vs oakland? I'll prob go with johnson too, like you have it, so i can watch him thump the raiders. Anyone wanna talk me out of it?
email@example.com 09/03/14 11:19 AM
Carson(vs. SD) Or Cutler(vs. BUF)? Also, Gehart(vs. Phi) or Emmanuel Sanders(vs. IND) at the Flex?
firstname.lastname@example.com 11:19 AM - I'd take Chris vs. Oak. Chi was great against run last year.
email@example.com 09/03/14 02:59 PM
What am I missing here?
Cutler is ranked #16 this week
Marshall and Jeffery are ranked #3 and #4 out of WRs
You have Cutler throwing like 12 INTs week 1 or something hahaha?
Balto 09/03/14 03:32 PM
I've lost total respect for this site!
How do you rank an untested first year Tampa Bay quarterback Josh McCown ten spots better than a tested veteran Superbowl winner Tom Brady with all his weapons back from injury last year?
How is it even remotely possible that McCown can be ranked #8 against a #2 Carolina defense, and Brady is ranked #18 against a #25 Miami defense. The math doesn't add up!
It's sad to look forward to a site to give their perspective and football knowledge on the fantasy game, and then realize that site was just created to show the opposite. This site needs a lot of improvement before week 2 begins, because clearly no one at this site really knows what they're doing or is still on summer vacation.
maverickjohn 09/03/14 05:46 PM
I agree with maverickjohn. Not sure how or why Brady is ranked so low this week compared to some of the other QB's. Not a Pats/Brady fan, but that is pretty sketchy.
algonquinmatt 09/03/14 06:14 PM
Toss up! Rodgers proj:22 pts vs Kaepernick 20.8 Leaning towards Kaepernick as Seattle at home is worrying me for Mr. Rodgers and his neighbourhood of receivers.
dhammell77 09/03/14 09:40 PM
I honestly would really like to know what it is about McCown this week that has him ranked so high here. This isn't a judgmental post. Truly want to know what this site sees, or what their reasoning is.
neel0907 09/04/14 07:07 AM
Looking for a big game from Cutler. It starts now!
I can start two of the three in a PPR league: TY Hilton, Brandin Cooks, or Steven Jackson.
Also, should I hold onto Marquis Lee and stash him on my bench to wait and see what he does or should I drop him for Andre Caldwell who might be fairly productive in the first four weeks with Welker out?
JHunn 09/04/14 10:03 AM
10 team ESPN league w/ standard scoring. Opinions on starting Aaron Rodgers vs Russell Wilson.

Program Description
Wentworth Institute of Technology is excited to introduce an innovative engineering degree program, Bachelor of Science in Engineering, beginning this fall semester. This program is designed for students who wish to customize their education by studying a core set of engineering courses and another discipline which will broaden their career paths toward both professional and personal goals. Students in this degree program will be interested in studying engineering along with such fields as computer science, biology, chemistry, management, liberal arts, music or art. The combinations are varied and limited only by interests and imagination. A student may wish to study electrical engineering, computer science and music because of a passion for designing new musical instruments. Another student may wish to combine mechanical engineering with manufacturing and management in order to be an entrepreneur and start their own company. This program is designed for students whose desire is to be an engineer, integrate different disciplines, solve problems and shake things up.
Students enrolled in this program will work with a full-time faculty member to tailor their engineering education with their individual goals. Since Wentworth is one of the six institutions in the Colleges of the Fenway consortium, students will have a wide variety of courses and areas of study to choose as they select electives to broaden their educational and professional horizons. The curriculum includes a set of core engineering courses (electrical or mechanical) engineering, a set of mathematics and science courses that support the engineering discipline, a set of general education courses that provide the foundation to understand the role and responsibility of an engineer in society and in a global environment, a set of directed elective courses that provide a pathway for a student's future goals, and a set of engineering design courses that will allow students to collaborate with one another on a variety of projects. Unlike many engineering programs at other colleges and universities, this program will allow students the opportunity to study aboard if they so desire and all of Wentworth programs include two semesters of cooperative work experience. A typical breakdown of credits for the program is:
|Engineering Fundamentals & Design
|Mathematics and Basic Science
|General Education
|Directed Studies & Other Electives
|Business / Management
This curriculum provides an exciting educational experience for students studying different engineering disciplines and electives to collaborate. They will have the opportunity to share knowledge as they work on interdisciplinary designs. This is a fantastic opportunity to study engineering at Wentworth with all of its resources and those of the other colleges in the Fenway Consortium; all in the heart of Boston.

Exploring the Cape's Winelands
There is nothing that says holiday like a lazy day in the Winelands ... sipping wines and savouring excellent cuisine, while enjoying relaxing leafy landscapes.
The Constantia Valley is only 20 minutes' drive from the CBD and is South Africa's oldest wine farming area. Eat at the award-winning restaurant La Colombe at Constantia Uitsig, or stay at the Steenberg Hotel and, while there, eat at Bistro Sixteen82 – which was recently lauded by the New York Times as one of the places to go in 2013.
A newer route; The Durbanville Wine Valley is fast becoming a destination of choice, at a mere 30 minutes' drive from Cape Town's CBD. Eat at Poplars Restaurant on D'Aria Wine Estate, stay at Clara Anna Fontein Private Game Reserve and Lodge and book a seat for a theatrical Villa Pascal dinner.
The Stellenbosch Wine Route was founded in 1971 and was the first wine region in South Africa to establish an organised route. Now, the Helderberg Wine Route of Somerset West forms part of the Stellenbosch Wine Route and together they offer a circular itinerary of over 200 wine estates and grape producers. Stellenbosch and Somerset West are both less than an hour's drive out of Cape Town. There are endless choices for excellent restaurants – among them Eight at Spier. Stay at the Lord Charles Hotel in Somerset West and go strawberry-picking in season.
Franschhoek is also famed as a culinary region and is the only region with a Cap Classique (sparkling wine) Route. Eat at The Tasting Room at Le Quartier Francais – rated 57 on the S. Pellegrino World's Best Restaurants List for 2012, stay at La Cabriere Country House and visit the Wine and Motor Museum for an interesting take on this region's passions.
Wine routes to be explored further afield include the nearby Elgin Wine Route, noted for its cool-climate terroir; the Hermanus Wine Route, which stretches for 6.7km along the R320 through the picturesque Hemel-en-Aarde Valley; Paarl, with its historical charm, culture and architectural heritage; and Robertson, the largest wine-producing area under irrigation in South Africa. It is also the western gateway to Route 62, an inland drive to the Eastern Cape.
