Study finds significant impact of having a female voice on the committees that put together scientific symposiums.
After years of decisions that increased diversity but didn't help it in the rankings, Syracuse University might start caring again.
Authorities charge 3 white students with tormenting their black roommate for months, prompting significant campus anger. Incident comes amid tensions about race at several campuses.
Eastern Mennonite U. -- in a move that is highly unusual for members of a Christian college group -- will reconsider its ban on employing faculty members in same-sex relationships.
With Michelle Obama's speech on higher education -- and another meeting of university presidents at the White House -- the administration kicks off a new push to increase low-income students' access to college.
A student's video prompts a different kind of discussion about race.
President calls for review of incident where speaker was shouted down, and of campus climate for dissenting views. Is this university worse than others -- or has it just become a punching bag for the right?
Many professors are outraged over an e-mail sent to an academic blogger and over the way Scientific American removed her post describing what happened.
New study documents that there are groups of black and Latino males in urban high schools who are poised for college success, and who generally don't know their college options.
Segregation in sororities is neither a surprise nor unique to Alabama, experts on the Greek system say.

We hypothesize that Alzheimer's disease (AD) has a preclinical stage in which elevated levels of brain amyloid protein and accumulation of beta-amyloid deposits foreshadow the gradual onset of neuronal dysfunction, cell loss and dementia. While the exact role of amyloid in the initiation of brain damage is still unclear, clarifying the exact timing of amyloid deposition that precede AD would be extremely helpful in understanding the biological origins of AD and in designing appropriate interventions. Brain imaging provides a window into many of the hypothesized biochemical, functional and anatomic changes in AD. With Positron Emission Tomography (PET) using [11C]PIB it is possible to estimate the density of beta-amyloid plaques by imaging the PIB binding sites. With PET using [18F]FDG it is possible to estimate neuronal function from measures of metabolic activity. Finally, with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) volume loss over time can be quantified in regional and global brain measures. It is our premise that by examining the temporal and spatial interrelationships between these three measures important insights will be gained in the pathophysiology of AD. The value of these imaging biomarkers are further enhanced by combining the data with CSF biomarkers and clinical and psychometric data. Towards these goals, the Imaging Core will provide two key support activities to the DIAN effort:
Aim 1 : Oversee the collection of all image data. This data includes MR scans for morphometrics, PET FDG scans for metabolism and PET PIB scans for imaging beta-amyloid plaques.
Aim 2 : Perform image processing and analysis to extract biologically relevant measures from the image data set. These measures include whole brain volume and cortical and subcortical regional measures of gray matter volume, relative glucose metabolism and PIB-derived estimates of beta-amyloid plaque deposition.

MMORPG.com recently had the opportunity to sit down with Funcom's Craig Morrison to talk about the launch of the most recent update to their flagship game, Age of Conan.
MMORPG.com:How was 1.5 received by the game's community when it finally launched?
Craig Morrison:
I think it has gone very well all things considered. Most players seem to appreciate the new build of the items and that they can now easily see how the items tie into their character. Likewise I think the new content has been very well received ad people are really enjoying the experience in Tarantia Commons, and the guild changes have also been welcomed.
Of course there are some things that need to be addressed, as we knew there would be, and, as we knew it would be, it is in the class balance area that most of the feedback lies...and of course in that area the feedback is never anything short of vocal!
We had always known, and been quite upfront with the community in advance, that there would be some things we had to address after the update was released to the live environment. With something on this scale we knew that there would be elements that would require additional tweaking and adjusting and were prepared for that. As we also expected the greatest challenge there is in the class balance.
The follow-up to the update is very important so we can adjust the areas of the balance that weren't quite right 'out of the gate' as it were. That is what we are already working on now, I think with the new systems we didn't quite get the relative strength of the spell using classes against the melee damage in PVP. That's the main area where the feedback is very vocal, and rightly so, as that area is the part that does still need further adjustment.
I think in PVE things have come together quite nicely by and large and there is less to tweak there, which is encouraging, we do know though that we have to make the adjustments for PVP promptly and properly so that we ensure the PVP game-play is also as fun.
There are also a couple of the raids that are not quite there yet in terms of having the correct difficulty and we will need to tone them down a notch (although several guilds have already surprised even us and defeated those encounters with a dedicated effort even before we tone them down. They still need adjusting of course, but there were some mighty efforts by those involved in those kills!)

Good read,
Craig is honest, though one of the biggest weakness of the game is the lack of semless world but guess he can't say that.
I wish the next step would be UI revamp and character look customization with dyes and social clothing.
SWG NGE comparisons?!
Why would anyone try to put that SOE millstone around the neck of AoC? I am currently playing it again and I must say that I am really enjoying the changes even though AoC has always had the best combat system of all time anyway.
Good job Funcom...I think you now have a winning product. Now, just tweak some other things as Deewe mentioned and all will be good.
I can see what he means about the combat upgrade because I played SWG from july 23, 2003 (launch) till November 15th(nge) and ya they screwed the playerbase with that one, I still hold out hope that one day they will give us a classic server. Anyways I also bought this game at launch and left after the first 2 months. It seems like lots of people are returning to this game. Last week i downloaded the trial after update 1.05 came out and 4 days later me and my buddy both resubscribed, so that tells me that things are lookin good and the waves of people r commin everyday There already planning update 1.06 and I read somewhere that they were gonna pubibly announce the new expansion next month. So if anyone wants to try it out again I would recommend it cause it got me hooked again.
Bah. Not even radical - it feels like totaly different game now.
PVP totaly changed, the only real thing in AOC is a mess now. They doubled HP for all classes while reduced DPS. Whatever fun it had as fast fighting player skill based action is gone now.
Everyone who still play aoc now calls it "age of casters". There's new single-use option to create lvl 50 character and if you go to any 50-60 lvl zone you see that 80% of ppl rolled new Demonologist (mage) or Hox.
Mages can now tank Melee classes and pack tons more DPS. Minigames are slow and boring - you need a few people to focus someone to take him down, sometimes you just can't (it takes 3-5 sec for him to get back from res point).
And a lot more "fun" stuff.
Playing for 1+ year i realized it's finaly time to go. I had all the real fun possible in this game thanks to it's great combat system which though never 100% balanced was fun at least.
Good changes, yet again. But I give them another several updates before they need to think about doing the whole marketing thing.
I played for a month around Christmas and I thought it was a pretty good game, but it had some problems. I'm not a hardcore power leveler so the lack of end game content that so many were complaining about never was a problem for me (I only reached lvl 40) However I wanted more customization to make you look unique, voice over for all quests not just some and some other things. Basicly more stuff, more options. Speaking of SWG I liked how you could own a house there and decorate it, I wish AoC had that.
1.5 is the big DX10 update isn't it? How does it look? I have a 8800GTS 512 so not sure if it's powerful enough. I played on high before and it mostly ran fine, but I guess DX10 mode is more demanding?

I have the same video card and I have no problems at all playing AoC. I even have most settings on high.
no video ? shame
I just finished a new 7day trial and have subbed for a month to hold me over (probablly until Aion). I got a brand new box for 5 quid off ebay. I am liking it, but to be honest I liked it before for the first monthat launch. (I am a bit of an MMO butterfly). I don't see an awful lot different it still feels the same. They have messed a bit with skills and feats, in PVE spell slingers feel fine maybe melee and healing needs a boost. The official forums are full of whine and best taken with a pinch of salt though it will inevitably take some months to get the new patch balanced. That's likely to piss of the vets I guess. Seems like in many cases they have made 'the other tree' viable at the expense of messing up the first one.
The whole shift towards a more item centric game dosen't bother me either way but if it means the 'endgme' is endless instance runs or mindless PVP grind for a new +33 item I personally want to participate. Mind you that is true of most MMO's nowadays (including the elephant in the room).
Unless they do a massive relaunch event, AoC will never ever have higher subscription numbers. People already looking into newer and more exciting games such as Aion, Fallen Earth, SWTOR. AoC is history, and will continue to be one with their current development/marketing scheme.
Well just wanted to put in my 2cp worth of thoughts on the 1.5 patch. I have an 80 Demo that I have been playing for 3 months. I tried a Barbarian, Conqurer, and Necro before I settled on the Demo. I think our class is very strong damage wise although were are still very squishy which is fine Im a cloth caster. I would say the biggest issue right now for a caster is resists and some type of change they made with stuns/knockbacks/silence. The resists are very high I mean a mob 5 plus levels below my character IMO should not ever resist my spell. But I would say all mobs no matter what level seem to resist 1 or 2 times per kill which I could live with on a lvl 79 thru 82 mob but not when Im farming a level 62 mob for a alchemy drop I need. Now as for the stun issue, before 1.5 if you got stunned/knockeddown/silenced you got immunity from that for say 30 seconds. Well now they have seperated those three things and I have actually been in a fight with 3 mobs where I got all 3 things done to me in one fight that ultimately ended in my dying because I was unable to do any type of damage for a good10 to 15 seconds. I feel as if they have made it possible to in some sense be stun locked my NPC's for far to long.
Now as for my free level 50 character I made a Prist of Mitra because our guild needs a few more healers at times. At level 50 my POM gets resisted so much that I spend most of my time dead or running. I realize its a new class for me but I believe they just went to far on the resists.
As for the comments on the raid stuff I would agree that they made them far harder than they were in the past. My guild used to do the Captain in Killickis with 12 people and we might wipe a few times but we could pull it off. Last night we did it with 20 people and we wiped 5 times before we barely managed to beat him.
big improvemnt for me been about year since played. runing 260geforce 896 x2 in sli running in dx9 with no shadows on high detail 1900x1200 its so slick its unreal from 39fps to 110fps .i go dx10 fps drop like rock under 30fps ,if have shadows oin in either mode distance flickers oddly.but that aside way i have it set up normaly is unreal improvment .
game play is bit slower on combos less twich which i like my self.left wow as my scond game to try this again main game is eq1 so its bit jaring going from aoc grfics to eq at times hehe.so far realy liikeing the changes i have seen.cant wait to try some of the new zones.aoc isnt for every one that can click a mouse ( ala wow) still takes skill in your build an way you want your attacks to go.combat reminds me of highlander the card game with the dirctional atacks..very good turn around imho.
"Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing." Robert E. Howard, The Tower of the Elephant (1933)
I can understand people being upset over balance, casters are way too overpowered atm. But lets be honest, no rpg multiplayer games are perfectly balanced and balance is and allways will be an ongoing process in these games. The gamedirector has admitted that casters are OP and says they're looking into it.
The patch on the whole though was very much needed and a good addition to the game. Stats on gear are much easier to understand now and you can actually see and feel the difference when you get a decent upgrade. If they manage to tone the more extreme cases of unbalance over the next few weeks I'd dare say the game is where it should have been at launch. Im back and enjoying it right now, will see how long the game can hold me this time around with the foundations finally layed down.
I've played AoC since launch, or I guess I should say played. Since 1.05 i'm currently on hiatus, waiting for something to change... For a long time now AoC, has stood for Age of Casters, and frankly nothing has changed. I played AOC 70% for the pvp, 30% for pve and the other fun stuff. Demos and Necro's dominate even more now than before. And yes, I do have a Necro.
Factor in that the first 3 sieges that members of the guild I'm in, fought in crashed 15 minutes in to them and pvp is borked, unless you want to mini-game over and over. But with bugged BK buffs still hanging around that's not as fun as it sounds.
I honestly haven't delved into the PvE changes of 1.05, I didn't do the Tarantia Commons yet. Still, running solo pve content isn't that hard. I have 6 level 80's.
What AoC is missing is good melee to caster balance, decent pvp battlefields and objectives, pvp zones that don't crash and some fixes to long existing pvp bugs. Along with a lot of little things like a decent guild UI that allows you to assign abilities to ranks, rename ranks, social and customizable gear enhancements and all those things that make a game sparkle. Without a doubt it has the potential to get there. The thing is with so many other good to great MMO's coming out can FUNCOM pull it off before they hemmorage so many players that they have to close the doors?
DX10 still runs like crap
I have about as high end as you can get and the game still needs a lot of work engine wise
for high end memory people (12 gigs here) the loading screens still take too long
they messed up the shadowing system on SLI machines in 1.5, on a large number of systems you can't run with shadows enabled...
They need to get a 64 bit client running to take advantage of high end memory systems
their dx10 code is garbage, fps goes down far too much for in a code base that's better than dx9
SLI code is crap.. (three 285's and it doesn't run flawlessly?)
The view distance bar doesn't go far enough so you can't see everything, stuff in the far off distance that you should be able to render is greyed out.
For a game that is targeted to look the best, they certainly didn't do the necessary code work to take advantage of all that looks nice in terms of hardware optimization.
Did I mention it says dx10 on the box? and they just now put a test version of the code in?
I see a lot of promise in AoC, but the goods have not quite arrived yet. I hope it does not go the way of Vanguard, the bugs never being sorted out while new content (also buggy) keeps being added.
You received 25 Agrees. You're posting some good content. Great!

Now Doesn't That Make You Feel All Warm And Fuzzy? :P
I dont get it. Its very strange to see how ppl in AoC see all things around 1.0.5. A lot of players likes it that i know. Im on Fury. I dont understand how someone can say AoC is history. Man ... every older MMO is history in a front of new MMOs in a way to be released, that have great potencial. Lotro is still great game and a lot of players left into Warhammer, Everquest 2 is still great game and a lot of players left into lotro at release. A lot of WoW palyers now are in AoC and Lotro. PPL are going through. If u have like MMOs u feel exigence to test them all ...
I like play a game that i love. Lotro was one of my most favorite MMOS ever. I have played it 1,5 of year. I still ike it, but i like a bit WoW too so after this 1,5 i played some months more wow. After these months i played now fifth month AoC and i like it. I dont think that MMOgameing is about camping in one game. For a lot of players its a 4 years long camp in WoW ... or another game. I play currently game if i have taste on it.
AoC isnt history .. a lot of new players still going into game. Only in our guild, we have 20+ new players in last 3 weeks. From it its around 10 old players reactivated and second half are new completly fresh players from WoW and Lotro the most.
All of us we have like 1.5 patch. I think its more complexity game now and its good. It not only about gank now. I like PVE much more now. We have good group of players from may be 5 different guilds and we are going through instances. Its fun for all of us. Its bitter much harder to play without fails and mobs are little bit thougher.
New itemization is good and player stats are on of the best and deepest ive ever see in MMOs. Only in may be Anarchy Online is more number around stats now ... and EQ2 and these more mature games ... finaly ..now it looks much like MMOrpg and not like some kind of GuildWars game ...
I have ranger alt and i must say hes much lesser on DPS than was before patch. But im sad for this? no. I like it .... fight is more about think what next skill i will use now. Not only assasination after assasination. Kill them all hided from behind. It was fun for a lot of these who now tolking about what the hell is going on nooow in PvP .....
Only thing i dont like is bad balance of some casters. But i hope its going to be better in next patches.
Great work Funcom ... game looks now much more palyable since release. Only please in the first steps, now work on balances in PvP and then will be great to work on highend individual content like more deeper crafting, player housing, activities like herbalism, fishing, etc.... things that are important to feel ingame some smell of virtual living. What is important for a lot of players. To feel ingame virtual life. You are on a good way.
The update has almost totally ruined raiding, which now has a difficulty spike as high as a high thing, and people are getting royally pissed off with it. To say it needs tweaking is a pretentious understatement. To say it needs re-adjusting is a brilliant observation, but why did FC not listen to the complaints from test server users? Why gayly go ahead and destroy the raiding experience when you were warned?
Fix your patch FC before you alienate the long-term players, the very people who have kept the game alive.
....And stop telling us how wonderful the update was....
This update killed Age of Conan for me.
The poorly thought out pvp consequences of what they did, made age of casters even worse.
Have played since first days for about two months, but not longer because of memory leaks, problems, lag, ..... etc etc. Then War come out, followed by Wotlk. But the worst was at that time dishonesty to players, we felt like dumb asses. Fortunately they fired right guys later and also right guys replaced them. A little late, but still in time.
Now AOC is really one hell of the game, no important bugs (at least imo), incredibly realistic, mechanics of movement are incomparable to any other game, combat system is fun, ..... Of course there are problems, but nothing compared to positives. I hope for some expansion pack in near future.
WoW is stil my No.1, but AoC is dangerousuly close. :-) I find many players that are AoC lovers are at same time WoW haters, but not me. I have no problem enjoying WoW and Aoc. They are both great. But I admint I have hard times to enjoy any other game after played this duo. :-)
No one likes reading long replies so i make this short. there is a reason why they call funcom; failcom.
I made 2 max level characters in 10 days when server 1st were lunched (bear shaman and tempest of set) lets just say nothing worked at this stage so i left after two months.
Now i read some reviews and i thought hmm maybe i should try it again; i log on to see the same problems with PvP, Raiding, items, combo system etc.
IMO this game has nothing going for it beside the graphics and even that is getting old now. beauty is only skin deep as they say'; now days to attract players and in order to keep them you need a lot more then that.
Side note: notice my join date to these forums and note that i never posted before; reason for that is that i never felt strongly about anything to have my say in the matter but with AoC i feel like people are being lied to again just like how they lied to us at lunch. i had to make a post to warn others take it from someone that gone back and activated account, this is still not a good game. so yah this is my 1st post on this site after 6 years .

Khm, sorry to contradict you, but when there will be any MMO or PC game with better graphics, better mechanics, .... we could speak about getting old. Especially after 1.05 patch graphics have recived great revamp, shadows from light sources (sun, moon, lights, ...) looks just incredible. Mechanics of movement of characters, fighitng sequences, ... amazing. Fatalities ... i never have enogh of them. :-)
But it is true, I can not speak from pvp or raid perspective, but I have not read many complaints.
So far, as I said, wow is stil my no1, but Aoc is every day closer.

This side note of yours need separate answer. Thank you for warning players to not spend fortune of i.e. 15$ to try again aoc, as they could broke because of this enormous expense. Better stay away. Sic ...
Just another troll message. Please, do not warn me or us not to subscribe to any game for any reason. Just write your experience, what you do not like .... we are completely capable im sure to make our mind about situation. We appreciate your honest will to help, but we do not need this.
Well yeah, some of us work our asses off and can only afford a one time 15EUR fee a month. I am trying to find a new mmo to play and checked out lotro, eq2 and others, but seeing as there's no trial for AOC, I wanted to try it badly, but I aint playing a month of sub only to perhaps find out it sucks. Closing the trial was NOT a good idea imo.

Hagstrom Electronics
Hagstrom Electronics has an entire suite of keyboard encoders suitable for use in arcade cabinet projects. Prices start at $45 for their entry-level model and range up to $140 for their top of the line models. Hagstrom was in the keyboard encoder business when the home arcade cabinet hobby started taking off and was quick to embrace the community with both product customizations and excellent user support. As an example, with a majority of the arcade cabinet community using MAME (see Chapter 14, "Choosing and Loading Software"), Hagstrom modified one of their encoders to better support MAME at no extra cost. All of the Hagstrom encoders referred to in this book have been used by the arcade cabinet community with good results reported. Ill introduce you to the four models they offer for keyboard port connection in this section (Hagstrom appears in the next two chapters as well). KE18 / KE18 MAME
It supports 18 direct inputs, or a 9 x 9 matrix mode of 81 inputs. This unit is not programmable, which means that your software will have to be configurable to work with the keystrokes available to the encoder. However, Hagstrom sells an arcade cabinet-friendly, customized version of the KE18 dubbed the KE18 MAME. The key mappings are the same in matrix mode, but are different in direct mode. Both sets of keystroke mappings are shown in Figure 8-12.
The KE18 can suffer from ghosting problems in matrix mode, so you need to plan your keystroke combinations carefully if you decide to use it in that mode. Obviously, there is no such problem in direct mode. The encoder includes a keyboard pass-thru port, which is a nice feature on an entry-level model. It also includes the ability to enable/disable keyboard repeat (a held down button can generate just one keystroke, or repeat keystrokes). The wiring connector on the KE18 is of the standard IDE flat ribbon cable variety. You can either use your own IDE ribbon cable, or add the optional screw-terminal board and cable header similar to that pictured in Figure 8-13. With that board, you connect the encoder to the terminal board with the cable, and then connect your wiring to the screw terminals.
The KE18 is an entry-level keyboard encoder, suitable for one- or two-player control panels. Its lack of programmability may limit its appeal to some users, but its cost and support of the native MAME command set make it a good alternative for someone considering a keyboard hack.
The LP24 is Hagstroms next step up in the keyboard encoder field (see Figure 8-14), selling for $80. It is a 24-pin, programmable encoder module capable of up to 144 inputs in matrix mode, or 23 inputs in pseudo-direct mode (see the following paragraph). Because it is programmable, you can determine exactly what keystroke is generated by any spot on the matrix. Technically, the encoder has 50 pins total in two rows of 25 pins each. Each pair of 25 pins is connected and functions like a single pin. The 25th pair is a ground pin used to erase the LP24s programming, should programming errors render it unusable. Therefore, if you take into account the paired pins and discount the mostly unused 25th pair, you end up with 24 usable input pins. Hence the name of the unit being LP24 and my reference to it having 24 pins instead of 50.
Programming the LP24 requires an operating system capable of booting into true DOS mode. A DOS window will not work. This means you cannot program this encoder on a Windows XP machine, for instance, but Windows 98 will work. If youre interested in this encoder but have Windows XP, you could use another computer to program it and then bring it to your XP machine to use. Programming is accomplished via an interactive program through the keyboard cable. Once youve booted up in DOS mode and run the programming application youre presented with a basic menu. First you select the size of your matrix. To use it in direct mode, simply assign it to use a 1 x 23 sized matrix, effectively making it a 23-input direct mode encoder. The size of the matrix cannot exceed the number of pins available on the LP24, so the maximum matrix size is 12 x 12, or 144 possible inputs. Then you fill in the keystrokes desired in the on-screen matrix grid, save the configuration to the encoder (and a backup to disk), and exit the program. Although you can save and load the configurations from disk, the programming application does not support a batch mode of operation, so you cannot automate the process. Like the KE18, the LP24 can suffer from ghosting, so you need to design your matrix carefully to avoid that.
Wiring the LP24 is similar to the KE18. However, because the LP24 has a total of 50 pins versus the KE18s 40, it will not work with an off-the-shelf IDE ribbon cable. Although the IDE ribbon cable is smaller and the pin spacing matches, the edges of the IDE ribbon cable connector will bend some of the unused pins on the LP24 if you try to use it. You can purchase a 12-inch wiring harness connector from Hagstrom to use with the LP24, or make your own with parts available at electronics stores. The encoder includes a keyboard pass-thru, and supports enabling/disabling keyboard repeat.
The added ability of the LP24 to program key configurations make this well suited for a two-player control panel. It will also work for a four-player control panel, but will need to be in matrix mode with proper attention paid to the matrix configuration to avoid ghosting issues.
The KE18 is Hagstroms entry-level keyboard encoder product (see Figure 8-11) starting at $45.

There are big questions facing the future of urban planning in San Diego, and high-profile development battles going on throughout the city. And as always, there are countless projects of varying scope that'll have an effect on their neighborhoods and the city as a whole.
But not all projects generate community outrage, or get caught in a seemingly endless bureaucratic morasse. Here are three neighborhood projects that have flipped the normal development narrative. One moved forward without pissing off any neighbors. Another generated conflict, until those involved met and negotiated a mutually acceptable alternative. Another can be literally picked up and moved if the neighborhood changes or wants a change.
Here's a closer look at three such projects, selected without any scientific process. If there are other projects in your neighborhood you'd like to know a bit more about, contact me and we'll try to include it in a future post.

I'm driving. I don't know where I'm going but I'm just driving. The driver side window is rolled all the way down and the cool night air feels really good. I grab a hair tie out of the middle console and at the stop light, I pull my hair back.
My cell phone is sitting the passenger seat and I keep grabbing hoping for some kind of sign on what to do. It's almost like I think that if he texts or calls me then I should go with him but if she doesn't then I should let it go.
It's really quite in this car and I can't take it anymore. I hit the radio and music starts to play. Are you serious? It's country music. I forgot that the last time I listened to music in this car I was with Teddie and that this is her CD. I start to listen to the words and just drive.
"I can't live without you baby." I hear the female vocalist sing. I glance over to the radio and put my hand over my mouth. Don't cry. Don't cry. I take a deep breath and raggedly let it out. This song is me and him.
"FUCK!" I yell while slamming my hands against the steering wheel. What is wrong with me? Why am I running away from the best thing to ever happen to me? I swear that the singer is talking about me. I feel tears start in my eyes and I try hard to hold them back. I again slam my hands against the steering wheel. How is it that out of all the songs on this CD this is the one to play?
I keep replaying that night over and over again in my head. Why did I let him leave? Why did I make him leave?
Tears start to stream down my face and I realize that I can't live without him. He is the one for me. He's sweet and romantic and loving and all of these things Thomas never was. I'm in love with him. I'm completely in love with him.
"Okay." I say while looking up. "I get it." I know where I'm going now. I have to go see him. I have to be with him. I'm starting to speed. I just want to get there.
I pull into his driveway as the song ends. I shut off the car and sit there for a second. I need to pull myself together a little bit. I take a deep breath and play those lyrics over in my head. I can't live without you.

A spacewalk for maintenance on the International Space Station was aborted Tuesday after Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano experienced a water-like substance building up inside his helmet. Parmitano and U.S. astronaut Chris Cassidy completed less than an hour of their scheduled six-hour spacewalk to prepare the station for a Russian laboratory. Parmitano was uninjured, but 1 to 1.5 liters of liquid accumulated inside his spacesuit during the event.

TravelPod Member ReviewsAirport Gateway Hotel Mangere
It's close to the airport which is handy and they have a free shuttle to the airport. Breakfast is also included although we are leaving too early for that. The place is old, run down and the so called 'private balcony' is really just a sliding door that opens to the car park. There was also hair in the bathroom. We only paid $109 and stayed just one night before heading home so we weren't too fussed.

There's hope for the Israeli sand cat species as one named Rotem gave birth to a girl kitten, Renana (meaning "joy" or "song"), three weeks ago at the Ramata Gan Safari outside of Tel Aviv.
Solitary felines that once freely roamed the sand dunes of Israel, the sand cats are now largely thought to be extinct outside of captivity in that area of the world.
Sand cats are typically only capable of having one or two litters a year, with litters usually numbering under three kittens each. Except for the few days marking a typical mating cycle, the cats tend to keep to themselves.
Zookeepers are hoping to enter Renana into Israel's Sand Cat Breeding Program, whose mission is to reintroduce sand cats back to their native, natural habitat.

"Associates" is back up and running :) But only the first three chapters as those were the only ones I really had saved. For those of you who have already read it, it was edited and most DEFINITELY better now :) Please leave a comment and as always, thank you so very much for being patient with me :)
I would like to take the time to thank all my fans and readers for the support and the extremely helpful comments. Nothing gives me more joy than writing but I have to say second place on my list of favorite things are comments from people who enjoy my writing and are aspiring writers themselves. I just want to thank everyone on Booksie for their kindness and the ability to share their talent with everyone else. Keep shining!
Alright, here's the deal:
Since the loss of my novel I have been extremely busy editing and redoing some of the capters
which in turn has taken my attention away from reading requests because
I just cannot seem to juggle my writing, other peoples writing, my full-time college work load, and a part-time job
So, as much as I really hate to say this because I hate when I see this on other people's profiles...
but only for a short time!
BUT here's what I will do.
Go ahead and post the piece you would like me to read and put the word:
in your request so I know you read this and you REALLY want me to read your piece :)
My thought behind this: if you take the time to read my stuff then I will take the time to read yours :)
Thanks for reading and HAPPY WRITING :)

A phantom quartz crystal is one in which a smaller 'ghostlike' crystal can be seen encompassed in the larger crystal.
Phantom quartz is a macrocrystalline variety of the mineral Quartz (SiO2). Quartz is the most abundant single mineral on earth. It makes up about 12% of the earth's crust, occurring in a wide variety of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks.
Quartz varieties are commonly separated into two groups based on the size of the individual grains or crystals; macrocrystalline quartz in which individual crystals are distinguishable with the naked eye, and cryptocrystalline quartz in which the individual crystals are too small to be easily distinguishable under the light microscope.
Phantom quartz crystals are said to help one understand the various stages in life that we all evolve thru, and they are said to be an excellent tool for meditation and for remembrance of past lives.

From South Peak Soft: This is a cool and great fast-paced time management game!In this game you are making some sort of rectangular pancakes, and sell them to people. Clients will come and ask for a certain number of pancakes. You need to to make this precise number of them, wrap them into paper and give them to the client.

The third thing to add is egg. When all ingredients are inside, you need to flip the pancake with some sort of screwdriver-like spatula and leave it cooking for a while.

Don't be fooled by knee-jerk reactions, says Jim Cramer. Look past the headlines and do your own research.
We have a president that seems likely to pursue a weaker dollar policy, and gold has surged.
Gold prices rose to their highest level since the days following the November elections as investors seek cover for escalating political and economic risks from Europe and the United States.
Buy Randgold Resources, which has a price target of $112, on strength.

European equity markets fell Monday as investors took stock of a renewed debate over the pace of U.S. rate increases and kept a cautious eye on political developments.
Randgold Resources, the biggest gold producer on the London Stock Exchange, posted a stronger-than-expected rise in full-year profit.
European stocks fell across the board on Monday.
European stocks fell Monday, led by a steep decline for Italian banks, as investors prepare for a busy week of corporate earnings.
Randgold Resources, the biggest gold producer on the London Stock Exchange, posted a stronger-than-expected rise in full-year profit and boosted its annual dividend by more than 50%.
Strong employment data and Trump call on job creation boost stability and power up the bulls for next week, says Jim Cramer.
Jim Cramer is bullish on Carrizo Oil & Gas, Illinois Tool Works, Randgold Resources and Kratos Defense & Security.
Commodities lent support to London's stock markets but benchmarks were down across the board
Donald Trump is now in the White House. Here are some ideas on how to play it.
The downtrend from July has been broken, so the question is how long and how high this new up move may carry.
European stocks fell on Thursday as investors shifted to defensive holdings and the Trump trade faded.
A study of analyst recommendations at the major brokerages shows that Randgold Resources, Ltd. is the #10 broker analyst pick, on average, out of the 50 stocks making up the Metals Channel Global Mining Titans Index, according to Metals Channel.
The FTSE 100 rose ahead of the holidays while the DAX slumped and the CAC40 was flat.
Cramer says FedEx will have a merry holiday season but he's avoiding Seaspan.
Stocks once considered free of risks aren't any longer, Cramer warns.
This rally isn't just about Trump, Cramer says. He thinks investors are cheering the economic outlook.
Gold futures dipped as low as $1,184 Thursday and could fall as low as $1,100 according to analysts.
GOLD, ALGN and PLCE offer more opportunities for investors, Jim Cramer says.
Next phase of this Trump rally shows there's money moving in, says Jim Cramer.

She's somewhere in the sunlight strong,
Her tears are in the falling rain,
She calls me in the wind's soft song,
And with the flowers she comes again.
Yon bird is but her messenger,
The moon is but her silver car;
Yea! Sun and moon are sent by her,
And every wistful, waiting star.

Slow Progress
Monte Rio, Summer 2013
Hello Folks,
Many of you know that I had planned to make the move this summer, but life intervened and I will have to wait another year or even a bit more to really make the shift. Still, everything has taken longer than expected and money is impossibly tight, so I am grateful that the school took me back. (Did I mention that I had already given my notice?) Ah, well….. As they say, wanna make God laugh? Make a plan.
We have been ...
Pain Don't Hurt
... wineries here. We started at Ferrari Carrano, where Matt was suspected of being 19. A little boutique winery that deals mainly in Pinot Noir, the Roadhouse Winery. Another called Williamson, which does a something a little different. For each wine they give you, they also pair it with a little bit of food so that you can start learning how wine and food go together. We ended the day with La Crema again.
Our McDougall Start
... a wonderful retro feel with the current requirements of comfortable bedding etc.
Lars and I are sharing a nice large desk as he works on his computer and I blog.
Yesterday we woke early, a bit of jet lag, but we needed to have blood work and blood pressure measured before breakfast so we were among the first at the medical suite they use here for all participants.
