Metro: Leaders in Boston and Cambridge want to keep talent from leaving the cities
By Morgan Rousseau March 27, 2013 It's no secret that Boston and Cambridge are home to some of the world's most elite colleges and universities, an attribute that attracts thousands of students each year. Sounds great, but there's a downside – half of them earn their degree, then exit to the left. That's why a coalition of city and educational leaders will hold a Mass Talent Retention public hearing Thursday on how to convince local talent to stay put after graduation. "We want to make sure that we keep the young, vibrant talent...

Posted by Chad O'Connor April 1, 2013 11:00 AM Article by Mike Lake and Dan Spiess It is time to change the discourse around talent retention in Greater Boston. Last Thursday's second-ever joint city council hearing, hosted by Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson and Cambridge City Councillor Leland Cheung, in partnership with the World Class Cities Partnership (WCCP), highlighted the concern of talent loss to many in the Boston area. The discourse on this topic is not new to local leaders and the same lamentations about why...

March 29th, 2013 by Walter Frick You've heard all the reasons Boston can't retain its talented students after they graduate: housing costs too much, the weather is terrible, the bars don't stay open long enough and neither does the T. All of these things are important, but it turns out that none of them are the primary reason that students leave Boston, at least not right after graduation. The single most important variable for keeping students in Boston after graduation is jobs, according to Michael Lake, executive director of the...

text: Technical Abstract: The Biological Identified Optimum Temperature Interactive Console (BIOTIC) is an irrigation scheduling method developed by the USDA/ARS in Lubbock, TX. The method has been extensively tested under experimental conditions and has been issued a U.S. patent. A multi-year field test of BIOTIC was initiated by a research partnership in a cooperative project funded by the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology. The purpos of the study is to evaluate BIOTIC in a production environment and field studies were carried out in 1998 and 1999. In both years irrigation signals have been generated almost daily during the growing season (77 of 87 in 1998 and 72 of 86 in 1999). The absence of significant in-season rainfall made for essentially complete reliance on irrigation. In both years the dates for which irrigations were not indicated were correlated with periods of low air temperatures. Rainfall events did not result in missed irrigation signals. In both years the system proved to be reliable providing irrigation scheduling at least 99% of the time and was maintained in the field by non-technical personnel with minimum onsite time required.

Please rename the show "Maltin on Left-Wing Movies" or "Maltin's Art House Movies" because he doesn't review current movies but rather movies he thinks send a message. I've watched 2 episodes now and I think I know exactly what the message is. This is not the "At the Movies" replacement I was looking for. Bring back those guys and cancel this show.
Review Rating: 0
"Maltin on Left-Wing Movies"....how do you mean? What tone does he take? Do you think Maltin is a progressive? Please read my comment.
Not sure what you mean. The show always reviews one to four movies releasing into theaters each week and at least one major Blu-ray release. The biggest, most mainstream movies are always covered. Go to hulu and check it out for yourself. http://www.hulu.com/maltin-on-movies
Don't just sit there, join the conversation! No need to register to comment, just let us know what you think. Have fun, but please keep it clean and stay on topic — inappropriate remarks will be removed.

Miracle Does Happen
Trust me, I am not a nice person at all. I fully realize that at least 80% of what I do or say, must've been a pain in the ass for most people around me. The rest 20%, nobody see so it doesn't count. When and if I do anything that perhaps look nice, it isn't meant to be for others, never. It's purely for me, my own happiness. Please, it's only me & myself I can think of. Surely, there will be no one to put my name and the word nice or good into one sentence.
What amazes me is that I am always surrounded by sooo many nice/ kind/ good people. My family, old friends, new friends, even those whose not fall into those two categories. There is always other human being to make me laugh or to help me out when I need or I don't know if I need help. Not to mention my wonderful dear friends who's still willing to stand me after all the stupid things I said or did.
Let me be serious and honest for this one second. I am sooo grateful for this blessing. Since I believe in God, for me God is superduper cool. How come a stupid small mean creature who never do anything good, but is always blessed by wonderful people around? It only makes me feel and know that I am being loved by Him no matter what. So if I'm asked wether I believe in miracle, yes man, I DO.

Summary: PC RPGs this year were pretty light on quantity but heavy on quality. Jakub does a round-up, from NCSoft's MMOs to Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and the highly anticipated Witcher!
Also coming in updates will be a Broadcast Observer mode, meaning that thousands of people will be able to view battles between two guilds. ArenaNet is obviously expecting that this will continue to foster competition and drive the userbase to continue playing. Combined with live tournaments held around the world that are leading up to the international finals this fall, complete with prizes, we expect that there may be a market for it after all. Little - actually nothing - was said about the first paid expansion, other than Chapter 2 is expected in the first half of 2006. [image]
Auto Assault
Auto Assault's buzz seems to have come as a bit of a surprise for NCSoft. After a small showing last year which created the hype, the publisher has gone all out this year in promoting their vehicle-themed MMOG.
Environments are destructible and the game makes use of physics for those as well as the driving code. In fact, stunt driving carries its own rewards and there are even special missions for stunters. Gameplay revolves around taking missions which create instances, this gives a very player-oriented feel rather than being just one of a hundred groups in line for the Magical Tooth Fairy Wand. The missions are rather specific and feel as good as anything made for a singleplayer game, what the development team demoed was a very action-oriented fight to get in position and call an orbiting laser on an enemy facility. Auto Assault should be shipping this fall.
The AI is very active in the game, with NPCs going after objectives on their own. These objectives are rather involved as well - the player can choose to isolate one by taking down its defenses, or go straight at it if he feels he can muscle through. Though dubbing itself a first-person shooter style MMO, Tabula Rasa is still more RPG than action game, with the results of combat being decided by dice rolls. Player actions, movement and weapon choice of course have effects on the rolls, but this isn't World War II Online or PlanetSide where it's all in the hands of the player. Still, from the demo it actually feels as if the game has struck a good balance and shouldn't alienate all but the hardcore shooter fans. [image]
City of Villains
City of Villains is City of Heroes, but now you play a villain instead of a hero. It takes place not in Paragon City but in the Rogue Isles, though NPC heroes from CoH will be spotted in CoV, particularly in some missions.
Take, for example, the 50 hours of recorded dialogue. Even common NPCs will talk rather than print up dialogue. There are 200 hand-built dungeons, complete with traps that can be sprung on the player or that players can turn around on the enemies within. And yet, this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. Where Oblivion really takes the cake is in the technology department. It is easily the most impressive game we saw this E3, right along with the Unreal 3/Unreal Tournament 2007 demos. Much of Oblivion is spent in the woods and for once, forests actually look like forests. Bethesda apparently had a geologist or other kind of scientist explain the nature of a forest, and the game engine generates it by itself. From slopes and hills and kinds of rock and bushes, to how trees are arranged - it is mind-bogglingly beautiful. Take out the monsters and you could probably sell it as a hiking simulation, it looks that incredible. It is even populated dynamically. [image]
On top of that, the Radiant AI also takes care of NPCs. The non-player characters in the game are given a rough schedule, at which point the AI takes over and fills in their daily tasks. Characters not only work, eat, relax and sleep, but also practice skills and react to the environment around them. An AI character, if she likes the player, can invite him to a private room for more talking, and she will practice her archery skills. These, being bad to start with, will damage her home, so she will quaff a potion to improve her skills and start hitting bullseyes on her target - and celebrate. She'll eat and feed her dog, then berate him when he gets energetic from the food and won't stop barking. A paralysis spell is her next step, followed by - believe it or not - a fireball. Now this perhaps isn't the most realistic example of Radiant AI, but given that most attendees saw this, we suspect that the developers were just having a little fun with the audience. Though not shown, we're relatively certain that the presentation mentioned that NPCs also need to acquire food for themselves, and will do this in the best way they know how - by trading or through theft. The same AI of course controls the many monsters in the game. The interface has been greatly improved, with fewer menus and less fooling around with dialogue options, as answers the player has already received are automatically marked as such. The game also permits automatic travel to locations that have already been visited, greatly reducing the hiking time in the game. [image]
For those who didn't enjoy Morrowind or Daggerfall, this is obviously not an improvement, but fans of the series will absolutely love it. It is really just more Morrowind, but bigger, better and looking absolutely stunning.
The most tantalizing, something that's been hard to find outside the long-gone Fallout games, is that of ambiguous morality. There's no clear-cut good and evil. It's not necessarily always particularly well obscured, but often the decisions are much more complicated than they seem. An example from the demo was that a king sends the player out to hunt down a monster in the sewers beneath his castle before granting him an audience. The player hunts his way through various minor monsters, encounters the final beast itself only to learn that it can talk and used to be a human being. OK, standard-enough fantasy fare, right? Well, the problem is that the player needs this monster's head before he can see the king, and to make matters even more complicated, the monster was actually someone that many of the townsfolk are glad to be rid of - because when he was a human being he wasn't exactly the nicest guy in town. [image]
Story quests can also move on by themselves. Going back to the king example, after the player has the monster's head he arrives at the castle only to find out that there's been some sort of disturbance within, perhaps assassins. He can rush in and try to save the king, or let the guards handle it. If you chose to spare the monster, perhaps it's best to let the assassins do their job. Depending on player actions, not only will quests be affected, but the game will end one of three ways - and it counts cumulative actions, not just one final choice at the end. The game engine has really been updated, with spectacular weather and background effects. The tile-based nature of NWN has been replaced with a standard mesh and 3D objects, making it more like Gothic than Neverwinter Nights. The outdoor environments are truly haunting, especially at night time or when a storm passes through. NPCs have schedules, which helps make the environments even more realiastic. [image]
Character leveling and customization is skill-oriented. The player can not only improve the level of many of his skills, but also add customization qualities to those skills. An example would be from sword combat, where improving the level of the skill chains together more moves, but the customized attributes can add special abilities to a certain move in the combo, like extra damage or a stun. The Witcher looks like it could be the best traditional RPG to hit the PC since Baldur's Gate 2, if it lives up to the promise.

Reading boss Brian McDermott has put his side's recent resurgence down to focusing on defensive solidity rather than playing attractive football.
Predict result and win big with Soccer6
McDermott's comments come in the wake of the Royals' 1-0 victory over West Ham at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday, in which Pavel Pogrebnyak netted the only goal of the game.
The Berkshire outfit have now conceded just once in their last three matches, a statistic which delights their manager.
"We tried to play a style of football here which entertains our fans," McDermott said. "But 4-3s, 3-3s, 2-2s, 7-5s; if the results are going against you that is not what the fans want to see and they start shouting at me.
"So today they got a result, our fans got a result and that is what they want to see and we have something to build on.
"A 0-0 with Swansea, the performance at Man City and the performance again today and another three points, that is four points from three games and gives us something to build on."

"This is the fourth year that we've offered our discount mammogram clinics, and over that period of time we have performed over 500 screenings," stated Teresa McCabe, vice president of marketing and development for WVU Hospitals-East. "Many of these patients told us they couldn't afford the test and would have put off scheduling a mammogram had we not held the clinics," she added.
WVUH-East's discounted mammogram program is open to anyone age 35 and older. Although a physician's order is not required to participate in the mammogram clinics, any patients without a physician will be assigned a physician to receive the test results.
All patients participating in the screening mammogram clinics must register in advance.
To schedule a screening mammogram at City Hospital, phone the community wide scheduling department at 304.264.1297. To schedule a screening mammogram at Jefferson Memorial Hospital, phone the community wide scheduling department at 304.724.5647.

Livingston, NJPicturesque setting with proximity to great restaurants
Gorgeous villa overlooking a picturesque bay, in proximity to Nelson's Dockyards and many great restaurants. The views of the bay in the morning and at sunset are unforgettable. You are sure to enjoy your stay here, however, please be sure to bring tons of bug spray, as the local mosquitoes are ferocious, and rent a 4x4 vehicle as the driveway is very steep and a lesser vehicle might not have the oomph. The owner is attentive and fair. Overall, highly recommended.
Caroline Gipps
LondonLuxurious villa with a fantastic view
This is a truly lovely villa in a stunning position. Of all the villas we have rented in antigua this was the best. Each bedroom is spacious and comfortable and the bathrooms newly done. The living area is beautifully decorated and the gardens a delight to sit in. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook and there are plenty of loungers/chairs and places to sit to eat, relax or sunbathe.The new gazebo will be an excellent addition to the amenities, offering mid day shade and a view.
GuadeloupeOur stay at lime hill villa
Peace, serenity, peace of mind, beauty...this villa is a little piece of heaven !
Special thanks to the staff who welcomed us ! -
Greenwich, CTSome positives, but overall, very Disappointing!
We only lasted 3 nights out of a planned (and paid for) 7, before moving over to a resort on the Island. The written descriptions of the house don't thoroughly cover every aspect, and hide a few major drawbacks. It says "A/C in bedrooms" but neglects to include the word "only" as a qualifier. The main living room, with kitchen, dining area, TV area, and entertaining/reading room had no a/C at all, and it badly needed it. It was sweltering, even with the windows wide open (which let in mosquitos, even with the screens up). Now, it could be that we should have inferred that there was no a/C other than in the bedrooms from how it was written, but we didn't, and I think it should be more explicit. Also, the area where the house is is occupied with very dilapidated houses, and the driveway up to Lime Hill was so incredibly steep that it's exceedingly difficult to walk, and even to drive when it's rained. There are many positives about the house- to be fair- including such touches as "Lime Hill" emblazoned robes in the closets- but it did not suit our needs at all, and I found not mentioning either the lack of a/C or the ridiculously steep pitch of the driveway to be a bit dishonest on the owner's part.
Response from Colin Sanders - 04/26/2012
I was saddened and concerned to read this review, which is unjustified and inaccurate.
Prior to booking, he asked me numerous detailed questions, but omitted the most important: Sadly, one of his party had special needs, and could not take heat, and another was disabled and needed help to walk. I have great sympathy with his circumstances but he never made me aware of them.
Had he initially asked if the villa was suitable for disabled people, I would have said no.
These disabilities relate specifically to members of his party, and are in no way faults attributable to Lime Hill. Just prior to his return home, he emailed me, and I quote:-
"If you can see your way to returning any small portion of the rental fee it would of course be GREATLY appreciated, and I would then sing your praises to all the internet gods!"
I do not think it right to either offer or receive payment for a good review. Also, the implication was that if I did not refund him, he would give Lime Hill a bad review, which in the event, he has now done. This casts obvious doubt on the value and integrity of his review.
I have been renting Lime Hill for ten years now, and have never had a complaint about the drive, or the lounge being too hot, indeed with the large sliding doors open on both sides, it catches the gentle trade winds. Additionally, there are very effective fans, making it pleasantly cool.
I therefore totally refute his comments, and would ask you to draw your own conclusions.
Carol Gilbert
Southampton NY USAmost well-outfitted house in English Harbor
Beautiful views from every room. 3 wonderful places to dine(each seats 6-8). Beautiful bedrooms, huge baths-outdoor shower is delightful.
Hummingbirds everywhere in the best gardens around. We were 6 adults
who like to cook and this kitchen is the best I've ever seen in a rental. Sharp chef knives, good oven, good gas grill, plenty of storage, good refrig. If you enjoy cooking and you shop smart at Epicurean in St.John's before arriving,you'll love dining in at Lime Hill. Short walk to nice beach, short drive to Shirley Heights--free water taxi to Eng. Harbor during the day.
Our fave restaurant was Catherine's Cafe (nearby). -
IlkleyCould not have been better!
What a delightful place. Wonderful situation and immaculately clean. The villa was a few minutes walk from the beach and a great little beach bar. The owner was very helpful - giving us the name of a super car hire gentleman (Titi) and organising for the maids to get some food in for the first couple of days. Loved watching the sun go down over the harbour - just heaven.
Geneva, SwitzerlandUnique experience
Lime Hill in English Habour provide the ideal setting for exploring Antigua and relaxing at the villa, which is stylish, well equiped and build in a style that blends perfectly with the surrounding landscape. The villa is ideal for families and groups of friends and offer stunning sun sets from the house and the infinity pool. A perfect combination for a truely relaxing vacation.
Bothell, WALime Hill was impeccable, romantic and a pure dream.
Our visit to Antigua was Aug 3 - 12, 2007. We chose to stay at Lime Hill Villa. I cannot say enough good things about this experience.
The Villa is a gorgeous 4 bedroom home with an infinity pool. Walking into the villa, you are surrounded by vining, flowering plants that drape the veranda upstairs. It really is breathtaking. There is also an infinity pool that is well maintained and overlooks the harbour.
All bedrooms were air conditioned. There are 3 bedrooms with either Queen or King beds and one downstairs that has 2 twins, so you can eaily sleep 8 people. Each bedroom also has its own bathroom. The master bedroom has an outdoor shower as well.
The main living space had doors that opened up the entire wall in the front and back, allowing the breeze to flow through. There are 3 dining areas; one in the house, one on the back patio and one on the front patio, near the pool, overlooking the gorgeous bay. The kitchen was well equipped. We had everything we could ever need there, including a phone and radio.
The cleaning gal came daily (except Sunday). She continuously added fresh flowers to vases all over the house. It was very private and the views are PRICELESS. We could have stayed forever.
We stayed a week here and will definitely go back.
We give this 5 stars across the board! Worth every single penny of our hard earned (and very long saved) money! -

Southampton EnglandLime Hill offers the ultimate Caribbean experience.
A beautiful architect designed villa with stunning elevated views over English Harbour. With two terraces,an infinity pool and only a short walk to the beach this villa provides the ideal holiday accommodation. Located close to all local amenities including a good variety of restaurants and bars. Shirley Heights with its famous Jump Up is near by.

We had the most enjoyable stay at Lime Hill - the views are breathtaking and the villa is outstanding a truly wonderful holiday
UKParadise for All
a truly memorable caribbean location which caters for the enjoyment of all ages and adventures. A walk to enjoy the panoramic scene from Shirley Heights, a gentle swim across the bay, or even a paddle around the bay in a kayak. Soaking up the sun's ray on the beach and finishing the day with a Yellow Bird before a water taxi ride across the bay to English Harbour to soak up the naval history. What more could you want - magical paradise.
'Usually Cruisers'
Hampshire EnglandTotal relaxation in luxurious surroundings
Set into a hillside in a small and exclusive residential community, this large, comfortable and superbly fitted villa is just a short stroll from the sandy beach with its small bar and restaurant.
The views across the water from the balcony area are stunning by day and night. Nelsons English harbour is close by and easy to get to.
A car is essential but the roads are very quiet. Plenty of places to eat out at reasonable prices.
Other great beaches nearby.
The weather was hot with only occasional heavy showers.
The villa is serviced daily. -

When it comes to tackling third grade, Clementine is at the top of her game-okay, so maybe not all the time.

And as if she didn't feel bad enough, her perfect best friend, Margaret, has so many talents, she has to alphabetize them to keep them straight
As the night of the big "Talent-palooza" draws closer, Clementine is desperate for an act, any act. But the unexpected talent she demonstrates at the show surprises everyone--most of all herself.
This Clementine sequel is sure to bring the house down!

Gartner principal analyst Mikako Kitagawa said in a statement that the PC market in Q2 "suffered through its seventh consecutive quarter of flat to single-digit growth." Kitagawa attributed the key reasons for this sales performance to economic uncertainty in some regions and a dropping interest on the part of consumers for PCs.
Ultrabooks in 'Early Adopter Stage'
The report also noted that Ultrabooks, an ultra-light, high-performance form factor being pushed by Intel, had a "small" shipment volume and "little impact on overall shipment growth."
Consumers are "less interested in spending on PCs" than on other products such as smartphones and media tablets, Kitagawa said. A lot of PC makers' R&D funding has been spent on Ultrabooks, the analyst noted, and, although a major promotion for Ultrabooks occurred in the latter part of Q2, this "segment is still in an early adopter's stage."
First place in worldwide PC shipments is still held by Hewlett-Packard, whose 14.9 percent market share represented a dip from last year's 16.9 percent share. The report attributed some of HP's decline to "internal issues" from the company's top management shakeup.
HP is also facing "aggressive pricing from Lenovo" for sales to the professional market, and from Asus and Samsung among consumers.
Lenovo is in second place with 14.7 percent market share, up from 12.7 percent in Q2 of 2011. The report indicated that Lenovo has been aggressively expanding through acquisitions as well as pricing, and that its growth is coming at the expense of both Dell and HP.
IDC Report
Third-place Acer is also up, to 11 percent, compared with 10.6 percent last year. Gartner said Acer has been clearing out inventory to "prepare for growth," and that, as one of the first Ultrabook vendors, it may also be one of the first to drop Ultrabook prices.
The report describes Dell, now in fourth place, as in the process of "transforming itself from a PC supplier to solutions provider for professional markets." Although that manufacturer is not actively pursuing market share gain, Gartner said, it does need a certain amount of market share stability.
Nevertheless, Dell dropped to 10.7 percent market share from 12.1 percent in 2011's second quarter.
Fifth-place Asus is showing the greatest increase in sales, going from 5 percent to 7 percent.
A report from industry research firm IDC, also released this week, showed a similar overall assessment, with worldwide shipments falling 0.1 percent from a year ago.
IDC attributed the flat sales to a limited demand from various distribution channels that are "wary of building inventory ahead of new product launches this fall," most notably the launch of Windows 8. The report also pointed out that Ultrabooks have not yet taken off, and that consumers are reluctant to buy PCs in an environment with a weak recovery and so much technological transition.

By Rob Taylor
In trying to come up with a new topic to write about in relation to the topic of student survival, I realized that we cover being pre-emptive pretty well. What we don't cover so well is how to pull your fat out of the fire if you haven't done such a good job of planning for the busy season of exams, essays and assignments.
Or what to do if Fate comes in, rips your plans out of your arms and tosses them screaming to the pavement below. And then sits back, arms folded, with a smile on its evil, evil, little face, as if it were saying, "Well, now you're right messed up. Whatchagonna do?"
Ask for an extension
I think I did this once or twice, but I hated doing it. I kind of felt like asking for an extension was admitting that I really couldn't cut it in the post-secondary world.
But not everyone took this view, and I knew people who would ask for extensions quite regularly. To my surprise, they were very often rewarded with a few days grace or if enough people from the same class asked for an extension for the same project or assignment, the professor or instructor would push the deadline for everyone. Which was very nice.
By all means, ask for an extension if you really think you need it. If you've had a family emergency or some other kind of major life upheaval, then tell your instructor / professor / teacher about it. Fair warning, though, that, "My girlfriend / boyfriend broke up with me" is not generally going to get a lot of sympathy.
You also want to watch out that asking for an extension doesn't make your life tougher down the road. Be aware of what other assignments, exams or tests you have coming up. Getting your deadline pushed back smack dab in the middle of a bunch of other deadlines might not be very helpful.
You can ask for an extension on writing an exam too, by the way. If there's a good enough reason, your school might work something out for you. A friend of mine had a professor who moved the percentages from a mid-term exam to the final exam because he had to miss writing the mid-term. The drawback was that the final was then worth way more than it was before and if he messed up on it, he really messed up.
Have a plan
No matter what, have a plan. There's nothing worse than sitting and worrying about a set of approaching deadlines. This is where the expression 'like a deer caught in the headlights' comes from. You know that danger is approaching, but you're so freaked out about not knowing what to do about it that you don't do anything except worry about the approaching deadline.
Instead, sit down and figure out what you can do before the end of your free time. If you only have time to learn 50 percent of what you figure you should know, don't freak out. Pick out the 50 percent that you think is most important. This might be based on what has been stressed the most during your classes. You might be able get an idea about the kind of information that you'll need to know from looking at previous exams or tests for that same class (though it probably won't be exactly the same). Hopefully, the other 50 percent you'll have a passing knowledge of just by doing the assigned readings and going to class. Because skipping classes that you've paid for as part of your tuition is just silly, right?
The same goes for essays and other assignments. Figure out which assignments or essays are more important and actually block out sections of time to work on them. There are many factors to consider, such as the percentage of your final mark, how well you are doing in the rest of the assignments or tests and which deadline is first. For example, if you have an essay that is worth 35 percent of your mark and another which is worth 10 percent, and both have the same required length, then you might want to schedule yourself to work longer on the essay that's worth more.
Here's an example from my own experience:
I discovered, much to my dismay, that I had an exam on a Thursday afternoon and an exam on Friday morning AND the final essay for a course was due the same morning. And I had one week to get ready for all three events.
So I came up with a plan. This kept me focused and kept me from panicking.
The first thing I did was to do all my research for my essay, basically following through on the process to the point of creating an outline for my essay and making sure that I had all the bibliographical notes that I needed. At that point I stopped. That took up most of my weekend.
Then I concentrated on studying for the two tests, studying for the Thursday afternoon a bit more than the Friday morning exam up until Wednesday evening. Then on Thursday morning, I got up at 9 and studied for the Friday morning exam exclusively.
I wrote my exam on Thursday afternoon and in the evening I wrote my essay (which I believe was only ten pages). It took me until from about 4:30 to about midnight to write two drafts and then until 1 a.m. when I was happy with how the essay was printed up all pretty with proper endnotes and page numbers.
I immediately went to sleep.
I went and wrote my exam and handed in my essay. I did well on all three, I believe. I know that I passed all my courses.
I don't know if my plan saved my bacon in any academic sense. What it did do was keep me focused and kept me from freaking out, which would have decreased my chances at accomplishing anything.
One more factor helped me and that was living on campus while all this was happening. My bed, my desk, the classrooms where the exams were held and where I had to hand in my essay were all a fifteen-minute-or-less walk away from each other. Going immediately from studying to writing to sleeping kept my mind on the tasks at hand and off of what a big job it all was.
And the third thing to do...
... is prepare ahead of time. Seriously, it's just so much better.
Barring that, I guess you could just run around in circles screaming and tearing out your hair. You're still going to fail, but if you do the running around in circles / tearing your hair out thing in a public place often enough, some nice people in a nice white van will come. They'll take you to a nice, soft room where you can hug yourself all day in a special jacket and never have to worry about exams, essays, assignments, tests or deadlines ever again.

Climate change could make curry spices a home-grown speciality
Martin Hickman
Following stints with Reuters and the Press Association, Martin Hickman joined The Independent as a news editor in 2001. He became the Consumer Affairs Correspondent in September 2005 and has run the paper's trenchant campaigns on packaging, bank charges and factory-farmed chicken. He writes on subjects as diverse as food, finance, energy and fashion. With Tom Watson, he is author of a new book on the phone hacking scandal, Dial M for Murdoch - News Corporation and the Corruption of Britain.

Herbs and spices could be grown in Kent or Lincolnshire as part of a government plan to meet Britain's insatiable taste for curries, according to a Whitehall report today.
Climate change and rising populations will put global food supplies under strain by 2050, meaning the UK will have to grow more ingredients for popular dishes such as chicken tikka masala, warned a future-gazing team funded by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.
One of the Green Food Project's five teams looked at how to make Britain's £4bn-a-year love of Indian food healthier and more sustainable. The Curry Sub Group Report recommended reducing meat, replacing rice with an undefined form of "barley or wheat-based products" and growing more spices.
At the moment, it noted, the UK was "completely dependent" on imported rice, while most curry spices – such as chillies, turmeric, paprika, coriander, pepper, fennel and cardamom – were imported from South America, Asia and China, "adding to the environmental burden of the dish and its reliance on imported ingredients".
The 22-page report recommended exploiting hotter weather caused by climate change to grow crops that were previously uneconomic: "There is potential to increase the use of home-grown ingredients (for example, potatoes, wheat, rapeseed oil) emerging from long-term changes in weather patterns potentially enabling production of some traditionally imported ingredients domestically – some vegetables, herbs and spices are currently marginal in the UK."
It added: "It is worth noting that coriander is now produced in significant quantities in the UK."
As part of the project, two development chefs for the French catering giant Sodexo created a greener, healthier chicken dhansak, by reducing salt, substituting coconut milk with fresh tomatoes, introducing chickpea flower into the roti and reducing the amount of rice and meat.
The authors said: "Feedback indicated that the quality and taste of the meal was not diminished as a result of these changes."

Molecular Nutrition/Nutritional Genetics
A very brief history of the emergence of molecular nutrition
There has been a sea change in discipline emphasis within the field of human nutrition over the past 10-15 years. Dynamics have always existed within the subject: If we examine the past 100 years we can see there was a clear predilection with the biological effects of nutrient deficiency diseases during the first half of the twentieth century - pellagra is such an example - a serious and often fatal deficiency disease associated with a lack of vitamin B3 that was, at one time, a major problem in the US. This interest in 'too little' was supplanted in the mid 1980's by a preoccupation with too much - too much sugar, too much fat, and hence too much obesity. At the same time, nutritional research has often been dogged by equivocal and often contradictory research publications. This has frequently undermined public confidence in nutritional science. Fortunately, the advent in recent years of molecular biological approaches to problem solving has moved nutrition away from its origins into the front line of genomic research. Nutrients and genes conspire to modify disease risk, they interact to promote cellular function, and given their variable exogenous disposition, have provided a force for evolutionary selection pressures that have led to the emergence of modern man.
Today, we are interested in how a range of macro- and micronutrients, and phytochemicals influence the genome and thousands of gene products in a multidimensional view of cellular processes that we now refer to as nutrigenomics. We are at the dawn of the age of molecular nutrition. Molecular nutrition is a far more multidisciplinary subject than the nutritional sciences of old. It can address fundamental questions of human health that provide exquisite mechanistic explanations of cause and effect.
Molecular nutrition research at Ourimbah
Nutrition at Ourimbah takes an integrated approach to problem solving in recognition of advances in molecular biology that can help to explain how nutrients and genes conspire to influence human health. Academics in the area of nutrition and medicine are working together on various research programs examining how nutritional genetics modifies risk for a range of common, chronic developmental and degenerative disorders. B-vitamins (particularly folic acid) are critically important for cell division and growth, and for lowering homocysteine, an amino acid that acts as a risk factor for atherogenic and thrombogenic vascular disease. To give this context, homocysteine confers the same disease risk as cholesterol. Research within the molecular nutrition theme is looking at:
- B-vitamins and related genes as predictors of cardiovascular health in the elderly
- B-vitamins and related genes in the pathoaetiology of adenomatous polyps
- Folic acid and folate genes in autism
- Genetic and physical factors that can modify folic acid bioavailability
- The genetics of taste preference (TAS2R genes) and how this might modify disease risk via alterations to the diet
- Whether nutrient status at conception can select gene polymorphisms that modify subsequent adulthood disease
- Micronutrients and DNA damage
- B-vitamins and related genes in the pathoaetiology of dementia

Wellbeing, Health & Mental Health
The School's interests in wellbeing, health and mental health are broad-ranging. Our health research examines psychosocial influences on reproductive health, health factors affecting human performance and mood, delusions, and health-related behaviours.
Research on mental health examines the psychological and neural underpinnings of a wide range of human mental disorders including antisocial behaviour and psychopathy, addiction, delusions, depression, ADHD, autism, Altzheimer's disease, and schizophrenia. The research is multidisciplinary, involving experimental neuropsychopathology, complemented by work at the CUBRIC. There are strong links with forensic psychology and cognitive neuropsychiatry, and active collaborations with researchers in the MRC Centre in Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics in Cardiff.
Our research is organised into four themes:
Health & Wellbeing
- What are the key features of the wellbeing process, how does one measure them, and what are the implications of the process for policy and practice?
- What are the determinants for fertility and child bearing?
- What are the distinguishing characteristics of autism?
- Does autism change with age and intervention?
- What are the individual neurobiological and psychosocial factors that explain variation in children's risk for antisocial behavior?
- Risk assessment of violence to others and to the self: Psychopathy, personality disorder and psychosis.
Delusions, Obsessions and Compulsions
- What are the neural and cognitive mechanisms underpinning belief formation?
- Do we control our desires or do they control us?
- How are neural mechanisms of reward and punishment altered in Mood Disorders and impulsive-compulsive spectrum disorders and how does this affect decision-making in these disorders?

Thanks again
Prefixed namespaces aren't inherited. The <topicId> element is in a different namespace than it's parent element. Inheritence (at least in the text representation) could occur in the following (no prefix):
Basically, it looks like the explorer version is wrong, despite the fact that your service "works" :) Maybe no validation is occurring?Code:<topicRetrieveRequest xmlns="http://mycom.com/merged">
Your reply is helpful. I had expected the prefixed version to perform like the non prefixed example regarding inheritance, thanks for the clarification.
It is true I'm not validating - I had turned it off as I simplified (removing security tokens etc) to try to get something simple working before I made things more complicated. Perhaps I should have left validation on.

Terms of Reference
Final Release April 2010
- Preamble
- Health Workforce New Zealand
- Key Tasks
- Accountability
- Relationship between the NHBBU and HWNZ
- Relationship with Other Government Agencies
- Membership
- Duties
- Liability
- Disclosure of Interest
- Media and Communications
- Confidentiality
1. The Minister of Health established the Clinical Training Agency Board as a Committee under section 11 of the New Zealand Public Health and Disability Act 2000. The name of the Clinical Training Board was expanded to Health Workforce New Zealand (HWNZ) to reflect its national focus and that the health and disability workforce is broad in scope and includes clinical, non-clinical, private and NGO workforces.
2. The role of HWNZ is to provide advice to both the Minister of Health and the Director-General of Health to oversee and drive the rationalisation of workforce planning, education, training, development and purchasing within the health and disability services sector. It will be accountable to the Minister of Health (the Minister).
3. The establishment of HWNZ in this form was an interim measure to drive immediate change while advice on the best arrangements and location of the health and disability services workforce policy, planning and purchasing is developed.
4. Cabinet decisions arising from the recommendations of an independent Ministerial Review Group (MRG) have led to the establishment of a National Health Board (NHB), also a section 11 Committee.
5. The NHB is responsible for bringing together service planning and funding as well as the capital and IT investment needed to deliver the capacity required to deliver that service into the future. Workforce planning is integral to that process.
6. These Terms of Reference were revised to reflect the scope of the NHB advice and to ensure consistency and a coherent workplan between the NHB and the associated Boards responsible for capital and IT.
7. Cabinet has further considered the long term structure of the national health workforce functions and agreed to retain HWNZ as a section 11 Committee and establish a branded health workforce unit in the National Health Board business unit (NHBBU) of the Ministry, to be known as the Health Workforce New Zealand Business Unit. (HWNZBU).
8. These Terms of Reference have been agreed to by the Minister (TBC) and replace those agreed to in October 2009. They have been amended to reflect Cabinet's decision on HWNZ's long term structure and finalise HWNZ's alignment with the legislative parameters of Section 11 Committees.
Health Workforce New Zealand
9. There is an urgent need for a simpler, more unified and responsive approach to workforce issues that is driven by the future needs of the sector and which enables changing roles and practices to deliver improved models of care and service delivery.
10. In particular, the Minister acknowledges that:
a) there is a need for greater clarity and coordination in respect of the roles and responsibilities of the various stakeholders at the national, regional, and local level. This may result in significant change in current work programmes of the Ministry of Health and allied agencies (for example, the mental health workforce centres and DHBNZ Future Workforce programme)
b) there is also a need for greater clarity in respect of roles and responsibilities for public and private employers, teaching and training organisations, registration and accreditation bodies, professional colleges, societies, and unions
c) there is an urgent need for much greater flexibility and responsiveness in the nature and deploy-ability of the health workforce in respect to roles and scopes of practice and to address the current workforce shortages and meet future workforce demand
d) the education and training sector needs to be more responsive to changing workforce priorities, new and emerging models of care and service configurations, and that these should drive consequential competencies and learning outcomes and the curriculum of education and training organisations
e) the funding for training needs to be better coordinated across programmes and providers to ensure across-sector and across educational continuum views
f) recruitment, retention and the distribution of the health workforce requires better coordination and a more integrated approach
g) there is an urgent need for a more cohesive and collective leadership of clinicians and managers, and a focus on developing the essential domains of professional leadership such as skills in communication and conflict resolution, clinical governance, and management
h) there is a pressing need for high-quality information on the workforce, including current quantitative realities, and modelling demand (linkages back to service requirements) and supply (linkages back to teaching and training capacity. The Health Workforce Information Programme (HWIP) needs to be supported to become a national and across-sector resource.
Key tasks
11. HWNZ will be responsible for:
a) advising the Minister and Director-General of Health on all aspects of workforce policy, education, training and development, planning, and purchasing for the health and disability services sector
b) advising the Minister and Director-General of Health on the actions necessary to consolidate and focus the various health workforce work programmes, including the significant work programme being conducted by District Health Boards New Zealand and the Ministry of Health, and the realignment of public funding allocated to workforce
c) the oversight of planning, development and implementation of the national health workforce annual plan which includes assessing future workforce needs, the oversight of planning and funding of post-graduate training, and which enables a more unified approach to health workforce education, training, recruitment and development
d) ensuring appropriate, timely and effective linkages with Government agencies (Tertiary Education Commission, Ministry of Education, and Te Puni Kokiri) and sector representatives (clinical leaders, health academics, health regulators, employer representatives, and training providers)
e) working with the various professional groups to influence work practices and making recommendations to the Minister for changes to scopes of practice and workforce innovations
f) advising the Minister on the optimal implementation process for the training and workforce related recommendations arising from the Ministerial Review Group (MRG), the Medical Training Board, the Committee on Strategic Oversight for Nursing Education, and the Resident Medical Officer and Senior Medical Officer Commissions
g) advising the Minister and the Director-General of Health on the implementation of key Government workforce priorities.
12. HWNZ will develop an Annual Plan to be agreed by the Minister of Health. HWNZ will review its Plan and Terms of Reference annually.
13. In undertaking the above functions, HWNZ will take into account the Government's priorities and health targets.
14. HWNZ is accountable to the Minister of Health for the quality and timeliness of its advice and reports through the HWNZ Chair.
Relationship between the NHBBU and HWNZ
15. HWNZBU has been established in the NHBBU to provide administrative and planning support to HWNZ and to implement projects and initiatives as agreed.
16. The NHBBU National Director and ultimately the Director-General of Health are accountable for the performance of the HWNZBU.
17. The National Director will appoint a Director for the HWNZBU after first consulting with the chair of HWNZ on the appointment. The Director will be responsible for the performance of functions and powers delegated by the National Director and set out in a delegation instrument agreed between the Director-General of Health, National Director and the Director.
18. The Director-General of Health will require the Director to seek advice from HWNZ in the performance of delegated powers and functions.
19. The Director-General of Health will give due regard to the advice provided by HWNZ.
Relationship with other Government Agencies
20. HWNZ will have the ability via the National Director to request advice from other Government agencies on issues related to its work programme.
21. HWNZ, including the Chair, will be appointed by Ministerial letter.
22. Collectively HWNZ will have the following expertise and attributes:
a) knowledge of and expertise in undergraduate, postgraduate, clinical and vocational educational and training programmes for the health and disability sector both in New Zealand and overseas
b) knowledge of New Zealand's current health and disability services delivery in both hospital and community settings
c) an understanding of health and disability services delivery needs to meet future demands reflecting New Zealand's ageing population and ethnic mix
d) an ability to think creatively to provide solutions that are not constrained by traditional health and disability sector professional boundaries or current service delivery models.
23. HWNZ will comprise seven members including the Chair. The Minister may from time to time alter or reconstitute the HWNZ, discharge or reappointment any member or appoint new members in response to any changes to the key tasks that are being addressed.
24. Any member of HWNZ may tender their resignation at any time by advising the Minister in writing.

Hey Jeff,
I would be happy to help out the documentary team. I'm assigned to the Inglewood location. I'll send you an email directly.
I volunteered as a photographer in Inglewood. What all is required of the documentary team? If you need stills, I can handle that.
Hey guys, thanks for the response. I'm specifically looking for interviews and B roll (any cool shots of the people and the location). If anyone has experience shooting video, that would be my ideal team member. You don't need to be James Cameron, but one or two videos under your belt would be great. I might be going from location to location if I can't find enough help.

In the fast-paced financial market world, history gets started more quickly all the time.
Feb. 10. Twelve days ago. History.
So while enthusiasts for the growth of the U.S. economy surely want to take heart from the data on U.S. consumer confidence delivered earlier today by the Conference Board, the chilling reality is that date – Feb. 10. The Conference Board tells us in a press release: "The cutoff date for February's preliminary results was Feb. 10, 2011."
That means that the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, reported today at 70.4 for February, up from 64.8 in January, can't take into account a particular lack of confidence expressed today through the price action in certain U.S. financial markets.
