You don't have to like Notre Dame. You don't have to respect the Irish or consider them the best college football team in the county.
You can call them boring and old-school and knock their smash-mouth style and laugh at their No. 1 ranking in the country.
You can call them lucky if you want to.
Go ahead and call Alabama better, and Oregon or Florida or Kansas State, for that matter.
Who knows, you might be right on all accounts.
But understand one thing.
It doesn't matter anymore.
While the Irish may never convince the beauty pageant judges who determine the rankings or the TV pundits and college football analysts who set the narration for who deserves it and who doesn't, they don't need to anymore.
When it comes to the ultimate arbitrator - that would be the final scoreboard - the Irish are Kate Upton and Brooklyn Decker kind of beautiful.
They're flawless. Perfect.
Notre Dame lined up 12 times during the regular season playing teams like Oklahoma, Michigan, Miami, Stanford, BYU and Michigan State.
The Irish walked off the field winners every single time - including Saturday's 22-13 win over USC at the Coliseum to complete a perfect season and punch their ticket to the BCS national championship game.
Overrated, underrated?
Who cares anymore?
Notre Dame will play for the national championship, and they earned that right by finishing the year undefeated when no one else could outside of Ohio State, which is ineligible.
"They've got great senior leadership and they play physical," USC coach Lane Kiffin said. "They're not exotic, but they don't screw up."
And while that might not wow anyone or get people tweeting or texting, there is something to be said with discovering a formula for success and executing it week after week, game after game and play after play.
Are they the best team in the country?
That may never be determined.
But they'll certainly get a chance to play for the national championship, most likely against the winner of next Saturday's SEC championship game between Alabama and Georgia. And right now that's all that matters.
They got here in year three under Brian Kelly, and if you believe in omens understand that former Notre Dame great coaches Ara Parseghian, Frank Leahy, Lou Holtz and Dan Devine all won national championships in their third seasons in South Bend.
"He's got great senior leadership, and you can see that in the way they play," Kiffin said. "They just understand how to play the game."
They did it when so many people said it couldn't be done any longer at Notre Dame, an 11-time national champion seemingly suffocating the last 20 years under admission policies deemed too stringent to field championship football teams and a remote northern Indiana campus far away from the bright lights and warm weather of Los Angeles and Florida.
But those were just excuses, crutches the three coaches who followed Holtz used to explain their mediocre teams and irrelevance on the national scene.
Kelly, brought in for the miracle work and program building he did at stops like Cincinnati, Central Michigan and Grand Valley State, never bought into the excuse machine, building a close-knit, hard-nosed, mistake-free team that may not bowl anyone over with their magnificence but just continues to win and win and win.
"They're not going to hand you anything," Kiffin insisted.
They certainly didn't Saturday, executing 69 offensive plays without a single turnover.
That's winning football.
If you want style points and big offensive numbers and pass-happy play calling Notre Dame is not for you, not this particular group of Irish who played all year with a redshirt freshman quarterback who leaned heavily on a potent running game and a dominant defense.
That was the formula they used all season and one they used to beat USC on Saturday, the defense shining at all critical moments while allowing the Trojans just one touchdown, the ultimate stand coming late in the fourth quarter when they turned USC away four times inside their 2-yard line to clinch the win.
They did the same thing to Stanford in an overtime win over the Cardinal earlier this year, securing the win with a goal line stand that spanned three running plays and probably a few heart attacks.
But they found a way.
They've been doing it all year.
"They're just hard to score against," Kiffin said. "They have a good scheme and great players down there especially inside. They did that against everybody."
The offense, as usual, was opportunistic and mistake-free. Putting together long, time-consuming drives that didn't always result in touchdowns but consistently put points on the board.
Notre Dame ran for 233 yards and threw for 217 more, eating clock with every hard-earned yard, big run and completed pass.
And with a dominant defense playing against Max Wittek, USC's redshirt freshman quarterback making his first career start, it was once again a winning formula.
USC had 281 yards on offense, the eighth time Notre Dame has held an opponent under 300 yards this year.
That might not make the highlight shows.
But it will win football games.
Laugh at the Irish if you will. Doubt them even.
But the bottom line is they will play for the national championship in Miami in the first week of January.
Like it or not, they absolutely earned their shot.

Matt and Libby Elliott seem to have a knack for making things go their way. The Blue Hill, Maine-based husband-and-wife team managed to turn a significant setback—unexpected unemployment during the 1993 recession—into a golden opportunity to start their own architectural firm. "I got laid off, and we thought, 'It's now or never,'" says Matt. They parlayed their first major commission, which fell into their laps in 1994, into a much-celebrated, award-winning house. And when an old building they'd always admired went on sale in 1999, they snapped it up and transformed it into sparkling new offices for their 10-person firm.
Coincidence? Hardly. The Elliotts live and work by guiding principles that have propelled them smack into success. They base their hiring decisions on their gut instincts, seeking out individuals who share their philosophies and design ideals. "David's resume was hand typed on an old typewriter," recalls Libby of staff designer David Leonard. "We said, 'We have to meet this guy.'" And they choose projects that promise to be challenging and interesting, rather than going for the most lucrative commissions. So far, that's translated into mostly residential work—both vacation homes and full-time residences—in this upscale, summer-resort area of Maine. "We're experimenting with new project types, like the town library Libby did over in Brooksville," Matt says. "But even those have been similar in scale to residential work."
the new old thing
First and foremost among those guiding principles is a belief in the value of both the old and the new. It's hard to pinpoint Elliott & Elliott's style—one observer might call their work Modern, while another might think of it as traditional. That's just the way the architects like it. "You can balance the older, vernacular styles with new elements," Libby says. "You don't have to compromise and do one or the other."
The firm's office is a perfect example. Located in a white clapboard 1830s building on Main Street in Blue Hill, it features plain white walls and utilitarian desks. Over the conference table hang quirky free-form light fixtures by local lighting designer Peter Knupple. Several old wooden credenzas rescued from Maine's Department of Transportation now serve as storage space for plans and job documents. It all looks so effortless, but in reality a great deal of thought went into mixing the contemporary with the historic.
That same idea of hopping from old to new and back again distinguishes the firm's kitchen and bath designs. A kitchen by Elliott & Elliott might contain a farmhouse-style trough sink, rendered in sleek, locally obtained granite. The traditional form makes the sink utterly appropriate in this land of barns and blueberry fields, but the austere material keeps it from being sentimental while providing another layer of context. A bath's industrial light fixtures might offset its cozy bead-board paneling. And a modern, open floor plan might usher an old-fashioned kitchen with glass-front cabinets and vintage hardware into the 21st century.
The Elliotts have a palette of materials they consistently draw from—granite, wood, and stainless steel, to name a few—but in their hands a raw material becomes something different in every project. "The question for me is, how do you update vernacular forms without cliche or without stripping them of their quality?" Libby says. "We're finding that it's really about maintaining the original materials, but putting them together in a new way." It's easy enough to see how Elliott & Elliott fuel their admiration for New England vernacular buildings—a quick walk or drive around Blue Hill and its environs reveals a trove of 19th century Colonial, Greek Revival, and Shaker-style treasures.
But while they obviously appreciate the richness of their surroundings, they're aware of the dangers that come with living in as remote a location as coastal Maine. "I don't want to get stagnant up here," says Matt. "I like having young people at the firm." Architect Bruce Norelius, who befriended both Elliotts during architecture school at the University of Pennsylvania and joined their firm in 1995, agrees. "The Penn connection is very apparent in Matt and Libby and me," he says. "We all like things to be very orderly. The younger ones here aren't like that at all—they're into the more experimental stuff."
The firm's employee makeup is a blend of more experienced architects like Norelius and Greg Johnson, who had his own firm for almost 20 years before joining Elliott & Elliott, and recent architecture school graduates. Design magazines, lectures in Boston and Portland, Maine, and frequent travel supply employees with additional links to the architecture community at large. The variety of backgrounds, educations, and experiences among them makes for a lively, ongoing debate over how to best reconcile traditional and Modern design, and the Elliotts say this tug-of-war makes for stronger, better projects.
objects of affection
Another concept that gets a fair amount of consideration at Elliott & Elliott is the notion of using everyday objects as sculpture. "Objects are beautiful," says Libby. "The more mundane something is, the more we like it. We love the traditional utilitarian use of things like porcelain sockets or plain white tiles. It's that idea of elegance as opposed to luxury." This reverence for functional objects is especially apparent in the firm's kitchens and baths; ovens, sinks, refrigerators, and showers tend to stand alone, rather than be surrounded by cabinetry or decoration.
The storage space in an Elliott & Elliott kitchen or bath can often be found outside of the room's main work area, in a nearby closet, cabinet, or pantry. Eliminating the need for a lot of storage further simplifies the room visually, letting whichever object or objects the architects have chosen to highlight—a pedestal sink, a handcrafted shelf, an antique appliance stand out even more.
The strategy of singling out objects goes against the conventional wisdom put forth by manufacturers and shelter magazines, which dictates the current trend of assimilating appliances into the rest of the room through furniture-like enclosures and coverings. But then, Maine isn't a trendy, follow-the-leader kind of place. This part of the state in particular, an assembly of rocky islands and windswept beaches, houses many artists, writers, and other creative types. Artistically inclined clients, naturally, are likely to appreciate the sculptural approach, and indeed Elliott & Elliott counts several artists and collectors as customers.
interpersonal skills
Elliott & Elliott's respect for individuality doesn't stop at object worship. The firm also views each of its clients as a unique entity. That's why the Elliotts never tire of designing housing: They approach every project with a fresh eye. And that's why they don't have a set style—among the work in their portfolio you'll find a Japanese-influenced bungalow, a Shingle-style cottage, and a Modern art studio.
And that's why clients feel their homes are expressions of themselves, not of their architects. "It's not about us," Libby says of the firm's design process. "It's about translating a person or a couple or a family into a home." Because the Elliotts are so committed to their clients, they usually get involved in each project to a degree some might call fanatical. To them, it's just good business. "I like to know what's going on with every project that comes through this office," says Matt, who takes charge of day-to-day operations at the firm. "When a client calls wanting to know a detail about their kitchen cabinets and the project architect isn't here, I can get on the phone and answer them. That's the reason I don't want to get much bigger than we are now. We have 30 projects under way, and it's the maximum number I can handle."
Everyone in the office performs duties that aren't in his or her job description at one time or another--the client's needs are always the top priority. "I don't think anyone there has an enormous ego," says Fred Green, a longtime friend and client of the Elliotts. "I work principally with Matt, but the other day I needed something and another architect there, Isaac Robbins, handled it for me. They've created a great culture at that office."
All communication between clients and architects is customized to the clients' preferences. Technophobes receive hand drawings and painstakingly built models of wood, Plexiglas, and metal, while computer-friendly clients comment by e-mail on CAD drawings and virtual-reality walk-throughs. At the end of every project, Elliott & Elliott buy the clients a personalized housewarming gift; recent examples include a concrete urn for an artist and an outdoor bench for a family of nature lovers. A painting by another artist client hangs in the architects' office, and Green, for whom they have designed a guest house, playground, and billiards cabin, is the godfather to one of the couple's three children. Clearly, client relationships occupy a central position at the firm.
team approach
So do relationships with builders. The Elliotts don't think of contractors as a nuisance, and they certainly don't view them as interchangeable. "It's very important to match the right contractor with the right project," Libby says. "A few of the builders we work with used to be boat builders, and we might ask them to do a job that required lots of detailing."
The architects don't hesitate to ask builders for their ideas on how to solve design problems, and the builders have noticed. "Architects can be difficult at times, and we can be difficult too," says Nelson Goodwin, a Seal Cove, Maine, contractor who's teamed with the firm on several projects. "But everybody over at Elliott & Elliott is easy to work with, and they really listen to us." Local contractor John Altman even connected them with their first big commission, the Rosenzweig residence in Brooklin, Maine. The house eventually picked up multiple AIA design awards.
The firm's esteem for the building profession also extends to other, related trades. They've hired craftspeople like blacksmiths and welders to execute tricky details. And they encourage their clients to use specialists if the program requires a skill that's out of their scope. "We can design a well-laid-out kitchen for most people's cooking needs," says Matt. "But if a client is into gourmet French cooking and has very specific desires, then I recommend that we work with a kitchen designer. We want to be part of the discussion, but we're not experts in everything."
The Elliotts routinely commission Brooklin, Maine, landscape architect Dorothy Wurman to perform a predesign site analysis that plots vegetation, underlying rock veins, and sunlight patterns. "Most of what the site analysis shows us is obvious," says Norelius. "But we usually end up learning something that will help us decide how to site the house." Even if they wanted to, Matt and Libby Elliott wouldn't have time to become experts in all the subsets of residential design. Though they don't advertise, word-of-mouth recommendations have netted them a year-and-a half-long waiting list. They have three elementary-school-age kids to raise, and a new house—a former granite company built in the 1820s—to renovate.
But they do find the time to design and send out a thoughtful holiday gift to their clients and colleagues at the end of every calendar year. It's a luminaire—a candleholder carved from unfinished maple and surrounded by a white lantern of handmade paper. "The luminaire is about making something beautiful out of humble materials," says Libby. "We could go to Williams-Sonoma and get something similar, but that just wouldn't be us."

In their eagerness to embark on a new project, project teams sometimes overlook an essential aspect of their effort—building a relationship among team members, which will foster not just a successful project outcome, but also a satisfying work experience. Investing in relationship building is invariably less costly and time-consuming than recovering from the divisiveness and conflict that may result from its absence. And that's where team norms come in.
Team norms concern how team members will interact, communicate, and conduct themselves as members of the team. Norms express intentions; they help team members agree on how they'd like to get along before situations emerge that might otherwise prevent them from getting along. Furthermore, norms provide a context for discussing grievances about team behavior, thereby preventing tensions from mounting and frustrations from festering. Norm setting gives team members an opportunity to express what's important to them and to learn what's important to their teammates.
Sample Norms
Here are some of the norms that project teams have found helpful:
- Listen to what others are saying
- Strive to understand each other's perspectives, rather than jumping to conclusions
- Try to resolve problems without blaming
- Send an acknowledgement in response to important email messages
- Respect "do not disturb" signs on people's cubicles
- When you've made a commitment you can't keep, let the other party know as soon as possible
- If you don't understand something, ask for clarification
- If you see a problem that others haven't noticed, bring it to someone's attention
- Treat clients' issues and concerns as valid even if you don't agree with them
- If you think team members have a conflicting understanding of a project issue, bring it to their attention
- Focus on the positive: what's working well, not on what's going wrong
In addition to creating general norms such as these, many teams find it helpful to establish norms for specific events, such as information-gathering sessions and status meetings. Starting and ending on time is a common norm for meetings. Virtual teams may favor norms which ensure that information is communicated in a usable format and to the appropriate individuals. Norms that help clarify information and avoid misinterpretations can be particularly important to teams that span national or cultural boundaries.
Norms work best when team members create their own. Using a pre-existing list may make team members feel that the norms have been foisted on them rather than selected by them. Even if team members agree with every norm on a pre-existing list, they are more likely to own and respect norms they've created themselves.
Ways to Create Norms
Generally, norm setting is led by a facilitator, preferably someone who is objective and doesn't have a stake in the resulting list. Gathering an initial set of norms is a flexible process that a team can adapt to its size and preferences. For example, team members who are located near each other—or are able to get together for a project kickoff—might use one of these methods to create a starter list for discussion:
- Team members sit in a circle. Each person in turn describes a norm that the facilitator posts on a flip chart, going around the circle until no one has any others to suggest. Anyone who doesn't have a norm to offer can simply pass. This method works well when team members already know each other and feel comfortable voicing their views.
- The team divides into three or four people per group. Each group brainstorms and creates their own list of norms. They then gather as a full team. As they report, the facilitator posts each norm, going from one group to the next. This method is effective with team members who don't yet know each other well, since it gives them a chance to interact in small groups, yet doesn't require anyone identify their norms in front of the whole team.

Tablets are great, whether you're reading an ebook or watching a film – but those glass screens tend to throw a lot of light back into your eyes.
It's one reason why e-readers still sell – but Apple looks set to solve the problem with its forthcoming iPad Air 2.
According to Bloomberg's sources in the supply chain, the next 9.7in iPad will feature a "new anti-reflection coating," which should make the screen easier to read in direct sunlight. The insider claims that although the iPad Air 2 is in production now, ahead of a launch at "the end of this quarter or early next," manufacturing complications related to the anti-glare screen may have added delays to the production process.
New iPad mini coming, too
Apple is also expected to launch a new iPad mini alongside the iPad Air 2, ahead of the holiday season; though whether it'll feature the same anti-reflective coating is as yet unknown. Previous leaked photos that purport to show the iPad Air 2 and new iPad mini suggest that both will be fitted with the same Touch ID fingerprint sensor found in the iPhone 5s.
Apple's rolling out a big refresh of its product line-up this year; alongside the rumoured iPad Air 2 and new iPad mini, an iPhone 6 with a larger display is also set to launch on 9 September. Apple is also believed to be working on an iWatch wearable device, which could launch alongside its new iPhone and iPad.
Better start saving those pennies, Apple fans.

Some quick final thoughts from the FedEx Forum. I have an early flight to get back to Salt Lake in time to catch the players cleaning out their lockers after a discouring 86-70 loss brought the season to an end, abruptly ended hopes for the playoffs.
• Tomorrow's game story looks at Wednesday night on a macro level. Where do the Jazz go from here sort of stuff. Key takeaway from the locker room was that the Jazz all like each other, this group of players was tighter than most, but players understand the nature of the business.
• Columnist Kurt Kragthorpe turned in this scathing, gem of a line about the Jazz: "Anyone suggesting the Jazz made progress this season is misguided, or wonderfully forgiving."
• It's worth noting that the Lakers beat Houston, 99-95 in overtime, so even a Jazz win wouldn't have been enough to get the Jazz in the playoffs. Unless, of course, you believe in the Butterfly Effect.
• So where was this game lost? Basically about 14 different ways in the third quarter. The Jazz were outscored 25-13 in the period. Not a crippling figure, except they were minus-four in the other three quarters combined.
• Strange night from the line. The Jazz got six more free throws than the Grizzlies when do the Jazz shoot more free throws than anybody? but didn't do much with them. Randy Foye was just 4-of-6, 87 percenter Mo Williams was just 2-of-5.
• Jazz got killed on the glass. Once again, for a team that relies so much on its frontcourt, the Jazz consistently got beaten this season in the primary areas big men are expected to produce.
• That said, Al Jefferson 22 points, 16 rebound had another fine game. It may be his last with the Jazz. Kill him for his defense over a three-year tenure with the Jazz, whatever. But there was little to fault in his performance Wednesday, or really in the last half of the season.
• Paul Millsap was just really disengaged for about the last 20 games or so. The man built a career in Utah, absolutely endeared himself to the fans, worked hard, improved every year. He should be embraced for that. He also probably should sign a contract elsewhere. His time here seems to be up.
• Still tinkering with some postseason awards votes, but there is no doubt in my mind Zach Randolph belongs on an All-NBA team. Probably second team on my ballot.
• In case you're lost with all the talk of free agency, here are the Jazz players up for new contracts:
Al JeffersonPaul MillsapMo WilliamsRandy FoyeJamaal TinsleyEarl WatsonDeMarre CarrollJerel McNealMarvin Williams (early termination clause) Kevin Murphy (team option)
• A final, personal note: This was my first season covering the Jazz. It was a tremendous group of guys to cover. Really fun, genuine people. It's a rarity in sports, and I feel like I was spoiled to have such a good experience in my first season. But I was even more spoiled by the great community of fans who read this blog, The Tribune and follow along @tribjazz. Really enjoyed the interaction. I'm looking forward to getting better as the Jazz slowly do, too.

ADAMSVILLE VILLAGE, RI -- Some bulk vending operator might have lost a special location. Gray's Store in the tiny hamlet of Adamsville village near Little Compton, RI, is reputed to have been the oldest operating general store in America.
Opening its doors in 1788, the establishment was in business some 224 years. In 2007, this fact was recognized by Sen. Jack Reed and former Rhode Island Gov. Donald Carcieri, who issued proclamations naming Gray's as the oldest continuously run general store in the country.
The end for the store came when its owner, Grayton Waite, 59, died on June 11. The business was inherited by his son, Jonah Waite, 21, a student at the University of Hartford in Connecticut. According to Waite, the store, which had been in his family since 1879, is no longer profitable.
Gray's Store closed on July 29.

Financial Aid
The Financial Aid Office administers all financial aid programs available at CSU Dominguez Hills. Funds are provided to the University by the federal and state governments and by private parties. Financial aid comes in three forms: gift aid (scholarships and grants), loans, and work programs.
To apply for financial aid, all students are required to complete, sign, and mail the 2004-2005 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the Renewal Application to the federal processor by the priority filing deadline of March 2, 2004. If you miss the priority deadline, you may still submit your form to the federal processor, but, you will only be considered for any available funds. Applications may also be filed via the Internet by visiting http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/.
To be eligible for financial aid, a student must be formally admitted to the University for the purpose of obtaining a degree, certificate or educational credential. Students who are admitted as Unclassified-Post-Baccalaureate, seeking a second master's degree or enrolled through Open University are not eligible for financial aid. Students interested in borrowing a student loan must be enrolled at least half-time (6 units undergraduate/credential or 4 units graduate level).
A student must be a U.S. citizen or be in the United States for other than a temporary purpose (e.g. permanent resident or permanent immigrant). Students possessing an "F" or "J" visa or I-688A, I-688B or I-797 visa are not eligible for federal aid. A students eligibility may also be affected by additional factors. For specific information, call the Financial Aid Office.

2. For each aid program, a description of procedures and forms by which students apply for assistance, student eligibility requirements, criteria for selecting recipients from the group of eligible applicants, and criteria for determining the amount of a student's award;
3. A description of the rights and responsibilities of students receiving financial assistance, including federal Title IV student assistance programs, and the criteria for continued student eligibility under each program;
4. The satisfactory academic progress standards that students must maintain for the purpose of receiving financial assistance and criteria by which the student who has failed to maintain satisfactory progress may re-establish eligibility for financial assistance;
5. The method by which financial assistance disbursements will be made to students and the frequency of those disbursements;

Selective Service Requirements
The federal Military
Selective Service Act (the "Act") requires most males residing in the

25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1960 may

to receive any need-based student grants funded by the state or
a public postsecondary institution.
Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office, and many high schools have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective Service Registrar. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used to register them with the Selective Service.

It consists of two sections: the Annual Review and the Financial Report. The Annual Review presents the bank's corporate profile and corporate divisions, the development of the share as well as the bank's staff and its corporate social responsibility activities. The Financial Report contains the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Deutsche Bank for the 2011 financial year, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Josef Ackermann, Chairman of the Management Board, writes in his letter to the shareholders: "Overall, Deutsche Bank is very well-equipped – not only to face up to challenges, but also to seize opportunities. We have successfully managed a transition to a better balanced, more diversified and lower-risk business model. This gives us excellent prospects for market share gains and profitable growth in a stabilizing environment."
In its Financial Report, the bank also presents an extensive outlook (pages 165-172): Overall, the banks face immense challenges over the next two years. They will have to build up larger capital buffers and adjust to a much stricter regulatory environment which, in some cases, will demand that they redefine their business models and compel them to adapt to a permanently lower profitability level.
In 2012 and beyond, Deutsche Bank should be able to further benefit from its strengthened set-up as a global investment bank and as a home market leader with greater stability in revenues and a more balanced earnings mix. Additionally, Deutsche Bank is also continuing to focus on its performance and improving efficiency. Deutsche Bank will retain a balanced dividend policy which considers capital requirements and total shareholder return.
As stated in the Financial Report (page 149), the seven members of the Management Board received compensation of approximately €26.4 million for or in the year 2011, compared with approximately €32.4 million for or in 2010 (eight members). The compensation for Management Board Chairman Josef Ackermann amounted to approximately €6.3 million for or in the year 2011, in line with the previous year.
The number of Deutsche Bank shareholders increased in 2011. As reported in the Annual Review (page 30), there were 660,389 shareholders at the end of 2011, compared to 640,623 in 2010. At the end of 2011, 52% of the shares were held by shareholders in Germany. In 2010, this figure stood at 47%.
Corporate Citizenship
Deutsche Bank invests in the societies in which it operates. In 2011, the bank dedicated €83.1 million to educational initiatives and social projects, to art and music as well as to corporate volunteering activities. For example, Deutsche Bank Foundation sponsors STUDIENKOMPASS, an initiative which provided support to around 1,400 young people across Germany in 2011. STUDIENKOMPASS helps students from families without an academic background to prepare for a university education.
As a leader in microfinance Deutsche Bank continues to assist people in developing and emerging market countries to set up their own small businesses. Furthermore, in the year under review, the bank also succeeded in giving 20,000 South African children and young adults new perspectives for the future.
In 2011, around 19,000 employees served as corporate volunteers to assist around 3,000 community partner organizations – an increase of 12% to 24% in just one year. The objective of Deutsche Bank's "Pass on your Passion" initiative, launched in 2011, is to inspire people to make a difference through volunteering and, in doing so, build social capital.
Deutsche Bank's "Corporate Social Responsibility Report 2011" provides additional information on how the bank implements its sustainability strategy and its corporate citizenship program.
Deutsche Bank Group Remuneration Report
The Deutsche Bank Group Remuneration Report was also published today. This report is based on the Regulation on Remuneration in Financial Institutions (InstitutsVergV) issued by Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) on October 13, 2010.

I've seen this runing and it is indeed very cool.
Nice one Dan!
yes, the 720-728 were the last series of PDA, but they also did the 820... which is the same and slightly bigger... but I think was made in parallel and more of a mini-laptop... than a PDABTW: I have been searching EBAY for any good offers on a jornada since I read about your project Is the 720 - 728 the last in the series of this type of handheld PC from HP ?

sorry Chris, hadn't realised it was you mate!Originally Posted by chall32
I was a little confused... your username makes sense now, I was being a little slow!
I now have the 4gb card so it has got a little further, although I have had a busy week, so I may not be sharing anything until about the end of next week!
Too bad Sharp had discontinued the Zaurus line of handhelds. I had a SL-6000 and now have a SL-C3100. Both will run most of the backtrack apps.
Right... I am nearly ready to release *something* for people with a 720. Sorry for the delay, but I am busy at work AND trying to find a better platform to start re-doing this properly... and it took ages for my 4gb CF card to arrive, which didn't help.
But anyway, today I got ruby running... which means that METASPLOIT now works on it! Metasploit in the palm of your hand... how good is that? I will tar it all up tomorrow and find somewhere to host it in the next few days.
now I have a Jornada 720 and the 720degrees repository is down :-( Is there a unknown Mirror of the respository out there?
I own a zaurus 760, love it, and have been using all the essential tools on it using cacko rom and debian chrooted..Metasploit, nessus, ettercap, ethereal/wireshark nmap to name a few, all work and even have the aircrack-ng suite on it, although im still trying to figure out how to get the drivers working for injection (hostap- anyone who is any good at compiling etc pm me)..
This has been sufficient so far for me, but recently on the tyrannozaurus.com forums this link is pretty darn interesting...cant wait for release..Slackware on zaurus..called Slackurus.
sooo...backtrack on zaurus.......hopefully.lol
like i said, can't wait.
I have been looking for something like this ever since I got my cellphone. I have a Cingular 8125 with a 2GB expansion card. The main reason I got this phone was because it has WiFi capability. Im not sure of the specs but would my phone be able to run any BT applications? It is Windows Mobile 5.0 based I believe.
Can you tell me will my Ubiquiti SRC300 card work in HP Jornada 720?
Is it supports PC CARD 32bit or only 16bit PCMCIA type?
If yes I try to find a Jornada soon... and I am very interested in your handheld work.

text: CCU Announces New Majors and Minors for Traditional Undergraduates Monday, March 05, 2012 at 8:20 PM Students at Colorado Christian University will have new majors to enroll in next fall, along with some changes to existing courses of study.The most significant new offering is a Pre-Medical Profession major, which will build a foundation for a variety of professional and graduate studies -- including medicine, chiropractic, dentistry, and even veterinary medicine. The major, consisting of 73 core credit hours, will prepare students to gain placement in medical schools and excel on the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). Previously, pre-med students have majored in biology and completed a Pre-Medicine Curriculum Studies program that was not easily tracked by the Registrar; the pre-med major will both avoid confusion and it reflects changes within the ever-shifting field of medicine. For example, restructuring within current classes resulted in more challenging coursework in genetics -- and raising it from a 200-level to a 300-level class -- as well as directing pre-med students to the life span development class, since the MCAT now includes questions in the field of psychology.The new Health Sciences major will provide a basis for continued study in nursing, physical therapy, or as a physician's assistant, among others. Course changes in this major entail an applied statistics class designed specifically for the natural and social sciences. For students interested in theatre, the School of Music is also offering new Theatre minor and Music Theatre minor. With classes in acting, stage movement and dance, or theatre production, these courses of study will root students in practical aspects of theatre while immersing them in theatre history and literature.These changes are meant to respond to student needs and developments within various industries. They are accompanied by other major and course modifications, most notably the addition of a required internship in the psychology major, which ensures hands-on experience in the field. All updates will be enacted in the 2012-13 school year. For more information, visit the Admissions website for our College of Undergraduate Studies. Tweet
