Maps have been prepared for three sea-level rise scenarios of 0.5m, 0.8m and 1.1m,relevant for the 2100 period.
You may notice that some of the areas highlighted as low lying and vulnerable are the same ones that are already prone to flooding in big storms. However, it is important to remember that the maps show flooding that may occur annually, or in some areas more frequently, around the turn of the century. The big storms of 2100 are likely to flood an even larger area.
The sea-level rise scenarios have been combined with a nominal highest astronomical tide (HAT) value for the region, and are based on IPCC projections and more recent science.
The maps are based on a simple 'bucket fill' approach and should be considered as approximate only. The actual impacts may vary as this model does not take account of existing sea walls, storm surge, erosion or other local factors.

When selecting colours for feature walls my favourite brand of paint is 'Porter's Paint's'. They are generally more expensive but that's because they are handmade based on traditional methods and not mass produced like most other paint companies. Their colours have more depth and intensity and once applied the colour looks pure and rich in pigment. They have a beautiful range of colours that are beautifully suited to creating a coastal palette. They also offer a range of specialty paint which I have had fun with over the years including rusted finishes, metallics and pearlised paints. Their milk paints and crackle finish effects paint are great for painting furniture to give it a rustic, aged appearance.

Anyway. Just got this, ignoring all the warning signs with it being a Final Fantasy XIII game... And the shit reviews.
It's quite good. Definitely the better FFXIII. Although that in itself doesn't say much at all, it has a legitimately good battle system this time. No dodgy game-plays-itself auto-battle bollocks.
I read the time mechanic is a hindrance, but really I quite like it. It's a tiny bit like Dead Rising's clock that it makes you think about doing things on the way to other things. You can slow it down though so you're not constantly rushing about or anything.
The non-linear environment and plot is nice. You can do whatever chapter you want in whatever order you choose.
The writing is still arse, but it's not up-its-own-arse arse.

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has a significant research effort in the area of renewable energy involving approximately a quarter of the faculty, including several recent hires. Topics under investigation range from biological routes to solar energy harvesting to novel materials for direct conversion of sunlight into electricity and fuel. The research groups focus on a variety of scientific approaches including biotechnology, theoretical chemistry, synthesis of nanoscalematerials, molecular engineering, and advanced spectroscopy techniques.
Analytical Chemistry at the University of Colorado has a long tradition of research in interdisciplinary areas. Current areas of focus include Atmospheric Chemistry, Energy/Environmental Chemistry and Bioanalytical Chemistry.
We are one of the few Analytical Chemistry groups nationwide with an Atmospheric Chemistry focus within a chemistry department. We have faculty performing cutting edge research in the laboratory, in the field and through theoretical simulations. Research topics include studies of trace gases and aerosols and their impact on climate, health and the ecosystem. Several faculty members in the Analytical Division are also Fellows of the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES), a joint research partnership between the University of Colorado and NOAA. Our division also has strong ties to the nearby National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Our unique position in Boulder offers incoming graduate students unparalleled opportunities for research in Atmospheric Chemistry.
Analytical Chemistry research groups are also addressing challenging problems in global health. This includes the development of new vaccine-delivery technologies, therapeutics that are less susceptible to pathogen resistance mechanisms, and low-cost, rapid disease diagnostic methods that can be deployed in settings where power and water are limited.
The Analytical Chemistry division is also actively involved in the newly formed Renewable and Sustainable Energy Institute (RASEI), an interdisciplinary joint institute between the University of Colorado and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). Focus areas in the Analytical Division include research to understand and develop chemical processes that that produce usable energy from renewable sources and utilize energy more efficiently.
The University of Colorado established a semi-independent Biochemistry Division within the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry in 1986. The Biochemistry Division is located on the east campus in the BioFrontiers Institute and current research in the division spans a wide range of fields from bioinformatics and cellular and molecular biology to synthetic and biophysical chemistry. Specific areas of focus in the Biochemistry Division are: (1) nucleic acid chemistry and biochemistry, including RNA structure and function and mechanisms of transcription and replication, (2) signal transduction, and (3) structural biology, including X-ray and NMR, proteomics and informatics.
Biochemistry has over 150 researchers, currently consisting of 17 regular tenure track faculty (11 Full, 3 Associate and 3 Assistant Professors), 5 research faculty, about 70 graduate students, about35 postdoctoral fellows, and about30 technical staff. About 60-70 undergraduates obtain bachelor's degrees in Biochemistry every year. Approximately 30% of these students perform undergraduate research and about15% graduate with Honors by completing an Honors thesis.
Research in Biochemistry laboratories is currently supported at a level of about $440,000/yr per lab. In FY 2008 the Biochemistry Division had external awards of $14,500,000. The largest source of funding is the National Institutes of Health, and additional funding sources include: Howard Hughes Medical Institute, National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, Department of Defense, Pew Foundation, W. M. Keck Foundation, Beckman Foundation, American Cancer Society, Colorado Tobacco Research Fund, American Heart Association and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Individual faculty collaborate with industrial partners and contracts or gifts to support research in Biochemistry are currently provided by Agilent Technologies, Bristol-Meyers Squibb, InDevR, Somalogic, and Array Biopharma.
The Biochemistry faculty include a Nobel Laureate, two members of the National Academy of Sciences, two Howard Hughes Investigators, a Howard Hughes Early Career Scientist, 3 present or former NIH MERIT Awardees, 3 former NIH Career Development Awardees, an NSF CAREER Awardee, two former Guggenheim fellows, a former Pew Scholar, a former Beckman Young Investigator, two former Searle Scholars and two University Distinguished Professors. In the past several years the Biochemistry faculty have averaged a total of about 50 papers in scholarly journals. Overwhelmingly these papers include graduate students and postdoctorals as coauthors. The Biochemistry Divisions has a vibrant graduate program and participates in four NIH-funded training grants. These grants support Ph.D. training in Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, Molecular Biophysics and Signal Transduction. Approximately 60% of the recent Ph.D.s in the Division go on to perform postdoctoral research and most graduates end up with a position in academia or in the biotech or pharmaceutical industry. The Division also participates in community education and science outreach programs, for example the CU Wizards.
The Materials and Nanoscience Program in the Deptartment of Chemistry and Biochemistry is a multidisciplinary program that arose from a common interest between faculty to design, synthesize, and study new functional materials of all types, and also to develop them for use in important application areas. Some of the types of new materials being synthesized and studied include nanostructured organic liquid crystal assemblies and polymers, electrically and ionically conducting polymers, nanostructured inorganic thin films, inorganic nanocrystal systems, biopolymer–nanocrystal composites, molecular machines, responsive surfaces, carbon nanotube composites, and nanoporous cage structures and polymer films. The application areas that these materials are being investigated for include new display technologies, nanoelectronics, optical communications, water purification/desalination, separation and storage of gases, chemical sensing, solar energy conversion, and electrical energy storage in the form of improved Li batteries.
A substantial amount of this research in new materials and nanoscience is collaborative. In addition to collaborations between research groups in the department, many researchers in the program work closely with researchers in the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, the Soft Material Materials Research Center at CU, the CU Physics Department, the Chemical & Biological Engineering Department at CU, and several outside companies and universities.
The Materials and Nanoscience Program currently includes approximately 10 research-active faculty and 55 graduate student and postdoctoral researchers. A graduate course curriculum has been established for training and educating new graduate students entering the program, before they begin to specialize in their research areas.
Organic chemistry has a long tradition at the University of Colorado, and in fact the Department has named its building in honor of one of our former organic chemists, the late Professor Stanley Cristol. This division is one of exceptional breadthwith nine faculty members and about 40 graduate students and postdocs working in the traditional areas of organic chemistry, including total synthesis, methods development, catalysis, and mechanistic organic chemistry, as well as in multidisciplinary areas, like chemical biology, materials chemistry and physical organic chemistry. Faculty in the division have active collaborations with biochemists, neurologists, atmospheric chemists, physicists and physical chemists, and students have the option to work on projects that touch on almost all areas of chemistry. Recent papers published by the synthetic organic groups at CU have regularly appeared among the top 10 downloaded articles in The Journal of the American Chemical Society and Angewandte Chemie and three of our current and former faculty are members of the National Academy of Science. The breadth of the Division is also reflected in our seminar series where students regularly attend lectures from the rising stars of our field as well as established senior investigators though our named lectureships (the Roche-Colorado lecture series and the Stanley Cristol lecture series).
The Physical Chemistry graduate program at the University of Colorado at Boulder ranked 9th nationally, and has strong connections to JILA, a joint institute with NIST, the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), and CIRES. Researchers here can often synthesize methods and viewpoints from academically distinct disciplines. The Division has an excellent history and tradition in both theory and experiment and is rapidly developing its unique strengths in new research directions. Research efforts span a large variety of current questions in physical chemistry, from the structure and reactivity of gas-phase molecules and clusters to processes on surfaces and interfaces, to ion solvation and ultrafastdynamics in photochemistry and biomolecules, often with a focus on interdisciplinary work involving research in biophysical chemistry, nanoscience or renewable energy. Faculty members use state-of-the-art experimental techniques e.g., massspectrometry, photoelectron spectroscopy, high-resolution opticalspectroscopy, ultrafast spectroscopy, and high-resolution microscopy. A strong group of faculty members working in various areas of theoretical chemistry seek to gain deeper understanding of the physical principles underlying chemistry and to obtain theoretical methods with high predictive power, explaining current experiments and guiding future studies.
Research spans the gamut from fundamental questions about reactivity and dynamics on surfaces, in gas and liquid phases, to more applied topics in materials and nanoscience, climate science, biophysical chemistry, and renewable energy. Experimental groups use and design state of the art techniques, from high resolution microscopy to ultrafast laser spectroscopy. Theoretical groups develop both computational and analytical methods to answer complex problems that often complement experimental studies.

Dartmouth under fire for response to incidents of rape on campusBy MEGHAN PIERCE
Sunday News Correspondent
March 15. 2014 9:26PM
HANOVER - A national women's group has started an online petition calling out Dartmouth College as a "chronic offender" of failing to protect female students from sexual assault.
The petition, by the group UltraViolet, has nearly 50,000 signatures so far and demands Dartmouth take action."Dartmouth has a decades-long history with this problem, but they continue to drag their feet. They have students protesting and asking them to address the problem," Karin Roland, campaign director of UltraViolet, said Friday.According to Ultraviolet and the Huffington Post, a Dartmouth student was sexually assaulted on campus weeks after her name was posted to a "rape guide" on a website used by Dartmouth students.
The post, which according to the Huffington Post named the woman and the residence hall where she lives, appeared on the anonymous message of Bored@Baker, a website restricted to those with a Dartmouth email address.Dartmouth College responded to the petition on Thursday with a statement from Justin Anderson, the Dartmouth's Assistant Vice President for Media Relations.
"It is important to note the offending post was authored by a single individual and did not appear on a Dartmouth-hosted site, nor is it one run by Dartmouth students.The post was removed and the author, who is not presently enrolled, was identified and faces the college disciplinary process," Anderson said in the statement.
"Further, we investigate every instance of sexual assault reported to the college and offer multiple levels of support and resources to every survivor." In this particular case, no report of sexual assault has been made to the college by the individual. We continue to remain in contact with her to ensure she is getting all of the support we can provide."Anderson also said that last weekend Dartmouth Board of Trustees unanimously endorsed a proposal to strengthen sanctions in cases of sexual assault to include mandatory expulsion.
The college is taking comments and suggestions on the new policy until April 14 with the hope of implementing the new policy by the beginning of the summer term.Before last week, Dartmouth's latest crime data showed 24 forcible sex offenses reported in 2012, up from 15 in 2011. There were 10 reported sexual assaults at Dartmouth in 2009, and 22 in 2010.
The Education Department's Office for Civil Rights launched an investigation of Dartmouth's prevention and response efforts toward sexual harassment last May.

Less than three weeks from Texas's primaries
Earlier this week, PPP shook up our expectations as Kay Bailey Hutchison suddenly looked in danger of being knocked out of the runoff by libertarian Debra Medina. Since then, three new Texas surveys have been released, all with a differing take on what is likely to happen on March 2nd. Research 2000 finds a likely runoff between Rick Perry and Hutchison, who come in at 42% and 30% with Medina at a still-impressive 17%. The University of Texas has Rick Perry closer to a first round victory (he is at 45%, with 16% still undecided) and a stunningly close race for second, with Hutchison at 21% and Medina at 19%. Finally, a poll conducted by two partisan firms shows Hutchison in front of Medina (27% to 19%) but Perry so close to 50% that it might not matter.
But all of these surveys were conducted before Medina attracted fire not only from the mainstream press but also conservatives like Glenn Beck for expressing openness to the possibility that the government was involved in bringing down of the World Trace Center. "I think some very good questions have been raised in that regard," she said. "There are some very good arguments, and I think the American people have not seen all of the evidence there, so I have not taken a position on that. I'm certainly not into mind control or thought policing people." This has gained a lot of coverage and should negatively affect her numbers. The question is: Does it help Perry cross 50% on March 2nd?
Two of these surveys also tested the general election, both finding Houston Mayor Bill White well within striking distance. In R2000, he trails Perry only 46% to 42%; he's down 47-41 against Hutchison and 44-43 against Medina. The margins are larger according to the University of Texas, but both Perry and Hutchison are well under 50% (they lead 44-35 and 43-34, respectively); Medina and White are tied at 36%.
Bayh might not be that vulnerable after all
The week's other very interesting poll comes from Indiana, where Research 2000 is the first pollster to test former Senator Dan Coats since he announced he was planning a political comeback two weeks ago. And the result is far less favorable than what the GOP was hoping to see: Coats's favorability rating is only 38-34, weaker than former Rep. John Hosettler's, which stands at 40-33. Evan Bayh, whose favorability rating stands at a solid 61-33, demolishes Coats 55% to 35%; against Hostettler, he is up by a narrower yet solid 53% to 37%.
A major reason Bayh has been painted as vulnerable in recent week is a Rasmussen survey showing him struggling against Mike Pence and against Hostettler; R2000 paints a very different situation, so it will certainly be interesting to see where other polls pit the race. Yet, Coats sure doesn't look like a game-changer - and perhaps we should not be surprised at that: remember that he has not had his name on a ballot since 1992. The past 10 days have marked the first time most Indiana residents have heard about him in over a decade, and the coverage has been remarkably negative, which explains the rough welcome Coats has gotten as he has started to hit the trail.
VA-05: Given the number of House surveys that have found Democratic incumbents sinking (SUSA in AR-02, IN-09 and OH-01, most notably), we could have expected Rep. Tom Perriello to be in far worse shape than PPP finds him in. One of the NRCC's top targets, Perriello is tied against state Senator Robert Hurt, 44% to 44%; the Democrat manages leads ranging from 4% to 10% against other GOP candidates. (While they might have a lower-profile, don't forget how often we have seen unknown Republicans grab leads against incumbent Democrats lately.) Making matters more complicated is the prospect that former Rep. Virgil Goode, whom Perriello defeated in 2008, run as an independent: Boosted by a 57-28 favorability rating, Goode ties Perriello at 41%, with Hurt at 12%.
ND-AL: Tom Pomeroy might be keeping his head above water, but Earl Pomeroy is more vulnerable than is commonly believed, at least according to Rasmussen's new poll. Like many of his colleagues, the 17-year incumbent finds himself trailing against Republicans he probably would have crushed in most cycles: against state Rep. Rick Berg, he is down 46% to 40%. While he maintains a 45-44 edge over Kevin Cramer, he has defeated him twice before, making this result underwhelming. Pomeroy does have a 47-38 edge over low-profile Paul Schaffner, but even then he remains under the 50% threshold. Put ND-AL in the column of truly endangered districts few expected would be vulnerable as 2009 started.
NH-01 and NH-02: In addition to releasing a Senate race (see below), UNH conducted a poll of both of New Hampshire's districts, finding a very tough landscape for Democrats. (An important caveat: the margin of error is a large 6.2%.) In NH-01, Rep. Carol Shea-Porter is in a truly terrible position, failing to garner more than 33% whoever she faces and leading 43% to 33% against former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta. In NH-02, left open by Democrat Paul Hodes, former GOP Rep. Charlie Bass would be favored to regain his old seat if he runs: He leads Ann McLane Kuster 39% to 28% and Katrina Swett 37% to 30%. Sure, Bass's name recognition is higher but New Hampshire does seem fertile ground for Republicans this year.
New Hampshire: Two different polls found remarkably similar results and confirmed what surveys have found over and over again since last fall, namely that Attorney General Kelly Ayotte has built a comfortable but stable lead over Rep. Paul Hodes. UNH has her ahead 41% to 33% while Rasmussen pits it at 46% to 39%. However, other Republicans are weaker: Hodes leads decisively against Ovide Lamontagne (38-29 in UNH, 44-38 in Rasmussen), while it is closer against William Binnie (he's up 34-30 in UNH, trails 42-41 in Rasmussen). A recent Research 2000 poll showed that Ayotte is far from certain of winning the primary, but the fact that Hodes is trailing against a relatively unknown businessman is a bad sign for voters' willingness to vote Democratic.
Missouri: Rasmussen might be the only pollster to find Robin Carnahan trailing outside of the margin of error, but today marked the second poll they have released with such a finding: Weighed down by Barack Obama's 40-59 approval rating, Carnahan trails Rep. Roy Blunt 49% to 42%. Though Carnahan would likely have an edge in normal circumstances, Missouri is conservative enough that it should not surprise us to see Blunt carried by the GOP currents.
North Dakota: No miracle for Democrats in North Dakota, where Governor John Hoeven looks even more formidable than conventional wisdom dictates according to Rasmussen's latest poll. Not only does he enjoy an eye-popping 85% approval rating, but he crushes state Senator Potter and former Attorney General Heidi Heitkamp 71-17 and 65-29, respectively. This has got to be all the more frustrating for Democrats that Heitkamp's has a respectable favorability rating (54-36).
Louisiana: Here's one race Democrats will not be contesting come November. It's been obvious for weeks that Rep. Charlie Melancon's hopes of pulling off an upset have been fading, but the Rasmussen survey with Senator David Vitter leading 57% to 33% is brutal for Democrats. With a 67% to 26% favorability rating, Vitter's standing bears no trace of the D.C. Madam scandal.
Pennsylvania: With Senate Democrats in bad shape in Delaware, Arkansas or Nevada, they cannot afford to lose but Rasmussen finds Pat Toomey leading Arlen Specter and Joe Sestak by decisive margins: 47-38 and 43-35, respectively. I've said it before, and I've said it again. I am not sure how a five-term senator can survive trailing by 9% and struggling to break 40%, while Pennsylvanians should be more open to voting for the lesser-known Sestak; that also explains why Toomey is further from 50% in the latter match-up. Yet, Specter manages to keep a comfortable lead in the primary: 51% to 36%. That might have been an encouraging back in the fall, but three months from Election Day, the time has come for Sestak to gain traction.
Colorado: Rasmussen confirms that replacing Governor Bill Ritter with Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper has improved Democratic prospects. While Ritter was weighed by a negative approval rating, Hickenlooper is popular (his favorability rating is 56-36); while Ritter trailed Scott McInnis in most late 2009 surveys, Hickenlooper leads 49% to 45%. That might not be anything for Democrats to celebrate, but it does leave them in a better position not just to defend the Governor's Mansion but perhaps also the Senate seat.
Ohio: The good news for Ted Strickland is that his numbers are no longer in free fall. The bad news is that he stopped the bleeding too late not to look highly endangered. Weighed down by a negative approval rating (46-53) and facing a challenger that appears popular (John Kasich's favorability rating is 47-30), Strickland trails 47% to 41% according to Rasmussen; that's slightly less than in January, but it leaves him in a rough spot. Might Ohio Democrats have something to learn something from Colorado?
Illinois: The first poll taken since the Illinois primary found Governor Pat Quinn in a stronger position than he looked to be a few weeks ago, perhaps due to a bounce resulting from the coverage of his victory. Against state Senator Bill Brady, Quinn leads 42% to 31%, with 4% going to Green Party nominee Rich Whitney; against state Senator Kirk Dillard, who trails the GOP primary by 400 votes and has not conceded, Quinn is up 41% to 35%. An important caveat: The poll was conducted by Victory Research, a group I had never heard before.
Pennsylvania: Now that he has gotten rid of Jim Gerlach's primary threat, Attorney General Tom Corbett looks unstoppable in Rasmussen's latest poll: He crushes Jack Wagner 49-29, Joe Hoeffel 51-29 and Dan Onorato 52-26. While this is nothing we haven't seen before, and even if we account for Rasmussen representing the GOP-friendly end of the polling spectrum, the margins by which Corbett is demolishing his opponents bode ill for other Pennsylvania Democrats.
Michigan: Rasmussen's poll of this wide open race confirms the GOP can be optimistic since Republican candidates lead 11 of 12 trial heats. Only Speaker Andy Dillon manages a 36-35 edge over Attorney General Mike Cox, though he trails 40-32 against Sheriff Mike Bouchard and 41-34 against Rep. Pete Hoekstra. The other important match-ups concern Lansing Mayor Van Bernero, who trails by 6%, 9% and 13%, respectively. This poll is somewhat surprising, since EPIC-MRA has repeatedly shown Cox to be the strongest Republican in the general election; it is also striking that Democrats looked to be in worse shape when Lieutenant Governor John Cherry was in the race. Cherry never looked to be within striking distance, whereas Bernero and Dillon do.

A COMMON lament among farmers is that the general public has little understanding or appreciation of the realities of modern agriculture. A small step toward changing that starts in September, when a new weekly television show called America's Heartland will appear on 300 public television stations across America.
The half-hour programs take a closer look at how American farmers do the job of feeding the world and providing raw materials for industry. The program, which is sponsored by the American Farm Bureau, Monsanto Company and several commodity associations, will feature a diversity of American agriculture, from row crops to dairy and meat animal production. Watch your public television listings in September, or visit www.americasheartland.org.


text: It's been nearly two months since the passing of Marco Simoncelli, and the loss of the popular Italian motorcycle racer is still ever-present in the minds of MotoGP fans. Nothing proves this point better than a moment at our premiere of Fastest in San Francisco last week, where a collective "Marco!" could be heard as SuperSic's face filled the big screen of the theater. The holidays surely must be tough for Marco's family, so perhaps it is appropriate that Ciao Sic, an official coffee table tribute book to Marco Simoncelli, has been released in time for the holidays.

HOUSTON - The Lion King musical has wowed audiences around the world for 15 years, making it the highest-grossing Broadway show in history. Now in its third run in Houston, the Hobby Center has teamed up with local experts to put together a special autism-friendly performance.
The story of The Lion King is told through spectacular music, thrilling dancing and colorful costumes. But for those with autism, the experience can be sensory overload.
Bryant Shaw, Ph.D., is the director of the diagnostic clinic at Houston's Monarch Institute for Neurological Differences.
He explained to Local 2, "That sense of unpredictability is often very anxiety-provoking for people on the autism spectrum."
But when the Hobby Center Foundation heard about autism-friendly performances given in New York last fall, the thought was "Let's bring it to Houston!"
It's the first time such a show has ever been done outside of New York City.
Foundation President Fran Macferran told Local 2, "We had this five-week run book and ... we would frankly be remiss if we didn't raise our hand and ask if we couldn't do the same thing."
Shaw added, "If we can make this work here ... we feel like the floodgates for this kind of opportunity would open across the country. People will see that this can be done."
Shaw is one of many experts who helped make the idea a reality.
He explained, "If you're on the fence about whether this is something that you can do, this is a safe place to try. So we're trying to create that safe practice place for everyone."
The performance was slightly tweaked, keeping loud surprising noises and strobe lights to a minimum.
Macferran added, "It's 100 percent The Lion King from start to finish. The real modification is what we do front of house. We've created activities (and) quiet areas."
More than 50 volunteers who work in the autism community will also be on hand from start to finish.
Shaw explained, "We'll have volunteers stationed from garage into the building, setting the stage for people to be calm because anxiety about the unknown is always a factor in how people regulate when they're on the autism spectrum."
On the Hobby Center website, there is also a social story available which shows pictures of the theater and explains how the theater experience works.
Most importantly, Shaw said the audience has "the freedom to come and go as you need to, (which) is a potential obstacle for many families in bringing their family to the theater, that sort of being locked in your seat and not being able to get out of the theater when you get overwhelmed. Just that shift in itself is a major accommodation that will support people in being able to enjoy the performance before."
Macferran added, "So we've created an environment here that is totally supportive, totally comfortable, where they can come and be who they are and have a wonderful experience and just be like everybody else."
The autism friendly performance of The Lion King will be on July 28 at 2 p.m.

This combination first appeared in 1949, and is ascribed to Gustave Tops, a Belgian barman, who created it at the Hotel Metropole in Brussels in honor of Perle Mesta, then U.S. ambassador to Luxembourg. The cocktail owes its name to the use of vodka, a stereotypical Russian spirit, and the blackness of the coffee liqueur.

Stags Beat Hobart, Face Bellarmine on Saturday
Rookie TJ Neubauer scored a career-high four goals to lead the Fairfield University men's lacrosse team to a 13-10 win over Hobart College in ECAC Lacrosse League action in Geneva, N.Y. The Stags improve to 6-3 on the year and 2-0 in conference action, while the Statesmen fall to 4-4 overall and 1-1 in league play.
Taylor Vanderbeek tied the game for the sixth time to bring the Statesmen even, 9-9, with 27 seconds remaining in the third quarter. The Stags however responded, winning the ensuing face-off and on the third shot of the possession had Colin McLinden find the net for the go-ahead goal, 10-9. Fairfield won the opening face-off of the fourth quarter, and after both teams turned the ball over, Neubauer gave the Stags a two-goal lead, 11-9, with his third of the game, unassisted at the 13:15 mark.
Hobart won the next face-off and drew within a tally, 11-10, 30 seconds later on a Jake Silberlicht tally, but again Neubauer answered. Just 3:25 later the rookie netted a pass from Sam Snow to give Fairfield a 12-10 advantage. Tristan Sperry completed his hat trick, and the scoring for the game, with an unassisted goal with 3:37 to play.
Seven different Stags found the back of the net in the victory, paced by four from Neubauer, three from Sperry and a pair from McLinden. Snow did not score but had two assists in the Stags victory. Jordan Greenfield, Nick Guida and Drew Federico all had two points with a goal and an assist in the game.
Michael Roe went 12-24 at the face-off X, a season-high, and picked up a season-high seven ground balls. Charles Sipe was 12-23 for the Statesmen to go along with four ground balls.
Jack Murphy stopped seven shots in earning the win for the Stags. He also had two ground balls and caused a turnover. Peter Zonino had seven saves for the Statesmen with two ground balls in a losing effort.
Fairfield caused seven turnovers, with seven different players recording one in the win, as both teams committed five turnovers. The Stags had a 33-28 advantage in shots on the game, and Hobart had a 35-34 edge in ground balls.
McLinden wasted little time getting the Stags on the board, as he netted his seventh of the year just 55 seconds into the game. The Stags would race to a 5-2 lead when Sperry capped a four goal run with his first of the game at the 11:12 mark of the second-quarter. Hobart five of the next six goals, with Alex Love netting his second of the run with 29 seconds left in the half to tie the score 6-6.
Love, who led the Statesmen with four goals, started the second-half with his third consecutive goal, 2:06 into the third, to give Hobart a 7-6 lead. Neubauer brought the Stags event with his third of the game at the 10:23 mark of the period to tie the game for the fourth time, 7-7. Sperry followed at 8:35, netting a pass from Guida to give Fairfield an 8-7 advantage. Derek Akner tied the game 5:03 later, 8-8, a tie the lasted just 47 seconds until Drew Federico found the back of the net for the Stags.
The Stags return home on Saturday, March 30 when ECAC foe Bellarmine visits Alumni Field. That game is set for noon.

They're offering it as an option for GNOME 3.8 -- they're dropping fallback mode, which is kinda sad (because it tends to work better inside a virtual machine or on older hardware) but they're bolting a traditionally-shaped desktop into the composited environment for those who want it:
The VM story was already worked on for longer than that.
Here is an other solution which is coming:
There are more in the story and there are others.
But it isn't heaven yet:
LLVMPipe is kinda funny anyway:
Developers do know and work on it:
"Developers hope Unity 6.8 will improve things a bit by taking care of some visual and performance problems. One of the main performance fixes is trying to improve the performance of the Unity desktop when using the Gallium3D LLVMpipe driver as the fallback method for software accelerated when no supported GPU/driver is detected. However, Unity on LLVMpipe may still be too weak for the ARM desktop."

For the first time in American history, on April 22, people in 200 cities and 45 states will join and will walk together in solidarity to raise awareness of child abuse and crimes against children at the inaugural Million March Against Child Abuse. Buffalo will be one of the participating cities. Child advocate groups, churches, parents, teachers and many other concerned citizens from across Western New York will take part in this national event and will converge on Lafayette Square in downtown Buffalo and march to Niagara Square loudly voicing their collective outrage against child abuse along their route.
The Buffalo Million March Against Child Abuse will take place on Monday, April 22, from 11:30 a.m. to noon (participants report to Lafayette Square by 11:15 a.m.), and it is open to any person who wants their voice heard and help raise awareness of the prevalence of child abuse locally and across the country. Co-leading and organizing the Buffalo Million March Against Child Abuse (in conjunction with national organizers) is Kathy DiLallo, program coordinator, New Directions Youth and Family Services, and Christine Retzer, aunt of JJ, a local boy who was severely abused by his father as an infant and has become the inspiration behind Justice for JJ and Jay J Law.
The local march is expected to draw more than 300 participants from across Western New York.
New Directions Youth and Family Services, Western New York's leading provider of services for at-risk children and families, will be sending a large contingency of staff members to the march and encourages the community to join the agency in this cause.
Million March Against Child Abuse is a non-partisan, grassroots, nationwide effort to raise awareness of child abuse, to educate the masses, and ask lawmakers for tougher sentencing in violent crimes against this nation's children. The march has been strategically planned for April because it is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.

For the second straight year, the NFL aired a commercial during the Super Bowl that emphasized the evolution of the game and the safety measures put in place during the past century.
The spot, called "NFL Evolution: Protecting the game," is set as a long kickoff return, spanning from the game's early days in Canton, Ohio, to a seemingly recent game set in Chicago. The players and scenes change, but the message remains: The league has continually worked to make its product safer. A narrator describes all the safety measures put in place (the addition of referees, face masks, penalties) as the scene changes with the era.
The NFL has been embroiled in several high-profile lawsuits recently regarding the safety of the game, so this spot was seen as particularly touchy.
"[T]he possibility that we could actually address the issue in a constructive, engaging way with that audience makes it definitely worth the challenge," Mark Waller, the N.F.L.'s chief marketing officer, told the New York Times last year. "It's a risk, without a doubt."
As Chris Chase of USA Today Sports points out, there is a sad irony throughout the commercial: Several of the players featured in the spot are actually suing the league.
The commercial is obviously fiction and no player names are revealed, but certain actors are used to portray some of the league's greatest kickoff returners. Among the players depicted in the commercial are three men who have joined lawsuits against the NFL: Mel Gray of the Detroit Lions, Rick Upchurch of the Denver Broncos and Ollie Matson of the Los Angeles Rams.
So just as the NFL is attempting to showcase its advancements in the game's safety, it spotlights several players who are suing the league for a lack thereof.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama's intelligence czar this week sent a message to tens of thousands of U.S. intelligence community workers, reemphasizing the need to safeguard sensitive data in the wake of a contract employee's leak of highly classified National Security Agency documents, a government source said.
The message from Director of National Intelligence James Clapper also sought to reassure private contractors, whose major U.S. intelligence operations have come under scrutiny since Edward Snowden, who worked at huge government contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, identified himself as the source of the leaks.
"Contractors are an integral part of our workforce and are critical to our national security efforts. No matter what color badge you wear, you prove every day how much you care about our nation," Clapper said in the message sent on Monday, which was described to Reuters.
The message was sent to uniformed military personnel, civilian government employees and contract employees, the official said.
As of October 1, 2012, about 1.4 million people hold "top secret" security clearances, according to Clapper's office. Nearly 800,000 government employees had "top secret" clearances, versus 480,000 contractors; the remaining "top secret" holders were not broken down.
Booz Allen Hamilton said on Tuesday it had fired Snowden on Monday from his $122,000 per year job.

The company has focused tillage and seeding, and in 2006 bought a 49% stake in Canadian Seed Hawk to expand their lineup with air drills in the Russian and eastern Europe markets. (since 2006, Seed Hawk sales have increased 700%) Now, Vaderstad has completely acquired Seed Hawk with the aim to increase their North American footprint, and in particular their business in the U.S. The two products that are the biggest focus to help achieve that goal are the Carrier tillage tool and Tempo corn planter. While Seed Hawk has built its business with no-till air drills, the Vaderstad products complete the lineup. The Tempo is a high-performance planter that was designed with the goal to plant 28 seeds/second. The Gilstring Seed meter features pressurized seed transport called "Power shoot". The Tempo can run 10 to 12 mph on a tilled seedbed. The company will keep the name of Seed Hawk, the Vaderstad products will be marketed through the Seed Hawk North American organization. Seed Hawk founder Pat Beaujot will remain with the company in a strategic product and marketing consultant. Here's the most recent Vaderstad product video. Back to news

When Barack Obama took office four years ago, our national debt was $10.6 trillion and unemployment was 7.8 percent. When he took office this week, our national debt was $16.4 trillion and unemployment was 7.8 percent.
In four years, Obama managed to increase debt by $5.8 trillion with absolutely no reduction in unemployment!
When Obamas second term is over, hes on track to leave us with $22.2 trillion in national debt, and the new norm for unemployment will be 7.8 percent, unless we count those who simply gave up looking for jobs.
On the topic of national debt, President Thomas Jefferson said, It is incumbent upon every generation to pay its own debts as it goes. Obama obviously disagrees. His inaugural speech ignored our debt completely. He will be the first to stick unborn generations of Americans with the historic debt levels he orchestrated.
He will have succeeded where all our enemies failed: the virtual destruction of the American economy, the American way of life and America itself. Now you know what Obama really meant when he said he was going to fundamentally change America.
To his ardent supporters, I hope your descendents wont mind paying their fair share. Obamas legacy will truly be historic!

With the expected unveiling of the HTC Endeavor (formerly known as Edge) only two weeks away, we're not surprised to see the first leaked RUU (ROM update utility) for the phone. The kind people over at XDA-Developers have already extracted the build.prop file from the RUU, confirming the Endeavor name and a lot of the specs which have only been rumors until now.
The build.prop file doesn't give us all the details, but it confirms DropBox integration, HTC Sense 4.0, Skydrive (isn't that Microsoft's cloud storage solution?), 900,1800,1900,850 MHz bands (compatible with European and AT&T 3G networks), a Tegra chip, WiFi a/b/g/n, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0, 4.7-inch 720p display, 8 MP main camera and a 1.3 MP front camera. While we expect the HTC Endeavor to make its way around the globe, the build.prop on this test RUU clearly states that this handset is an HTC Europe device. The Endeavor will most likely take on another name for the US market.
Fortunately, leaked RUU files are good for a lot more than just confirming things we already knew. The devs are already tearing the RUU apart in an effort to port the Android 4.0 build with Sense 4.0 to older HTC devices. Since the Endeavor is powered by an NVIDIA Tegra 3 chip and also features a 720p resolution, developers are going to have their work cut out for them in order for get things running properly on Qualcomm powered devices with lower resolution displays. We're not sure how long it will take, but we could see the first ports up and running even before HTC officially pulls back the curtain on February 26 to unveil the HTC Endeavor to the world.
Are any of you looking forward to running Android 4.0 with HTC Sense 4.0 on your current HTC device?
UPDATE: The HTC Endeavor system image has been dumped, revealing all the device applications, widgets, wallpapers and screenshots from some of the HTC Sense 4.0 skins pre-loaded on the device. We've uploaded all the images at full resolution just in case any of you wanted to grab a wallpaper or two to use on your phone. Enjoy!

I'm quite new around here and I haven't been able to find a section on the Moral Landscape. So here goes and apologies if it should go somewhere else.
I only have an audiobook copy so far. I'll probably get a Kindle copy so that I can work more closely with it. I listened through three times.
All round I found the general thrust of the book convincing and compelling, but I have some reservations.
As a professional writer putting together "think pieces" for clients, there are rather too many points at which I got the sense of logical links being a little fudged - a temptation that is all too familiar to me. When I get the Kindle version I'll mark them up and see whether they are as jarring in print as they are when read out.
What concerns me more is that way that Sam's drive for a science of moral reasoning ends up predicated on neuroimaging.
My long-term (4-5 year) plan is for a research-based PhD involving neuroscience (via an MSc), so I'm far from being a sceptic, let alone an enemy. However, to my understanding, with the current imaging tools available, the most that can be investigated is correlation between neural activity and tasks being undertaken. The role of specific areas of the brain must therefore be inferred, which is difficult because individual areas are involved in more than just one function. This doesn't stretch things too much for an activity such as jazz improvisation (Charles Limb), where there is a physical output. On the other hand a complex process such as moral reasoning seems to me to be much less tractable with current brain imaging technology.
To my mind Sam builds a very strong case for a science of moral reasoning even without neuroimaging. My hope is that neuroscience fulfills all its promise and more.My concern is that this "new rock and roll" may prove to be a overplayed distraction at best and perhaps even an Achilles heel.
I agree completely. Overconfident opinion is not only annoying, but potentially destructive in currently unknown ways.
Best luck in the field you end up choosing, Stuarte.
yeah i agree with you Stuarte, thanks for posting about The Role of Neuroscience in The Moral Landscape

Love Changes Everything
As a child, Swami told me how important it is to love God as we love ourselves. Today He is teaching the same thing to the whole world through Bhakti Marga. He has always said that bhakti and Love have to work together; there cannot be bhakti without Love and vice versa. His teachings have guided me through life on a daily basis.
Outwardly I had everything: fame, money, admirers. Yet my life was empty and meaningless until my Satguru called me on this path.
I once asked Guruji how to live a good life. He said, 'Remember God's Love in every moment and accept everything as coming from God.' No matter how challenging the spiritual path has been, my experiences of both Guruji and His devotees have been my guiding star, helping me to live a good life and more and more to reflect God's unconditional Love for everyone.
Visions of Love
Spiritual Lineages
- Bharadwaja Gotra Lineage: Born as a Brahmin, Paramahamsa Vishwananda belongs to the Bharadwaja Gotra, a family lineage that can be traced back to the Guru of all the Pandavas and Kauravas, during the Mahabharata.
- Mahavatar Babaji - Father of all Kriya Yoga Lineages: Mahavatar Babaji is Paramahamsa Vishwananda's Guru and the Paramguru of Bhakti Marga. Mahavatar Babaji is a Jagadguru: the Guru of all Gurus on Earth. He is an immortal yogi whose teachings, throughout the ages, have always offered guidance toward God-Realisation.
- Sri Sampradaya Lineage: In 2008, Paramahamsa Vishwananda was initiated into the Sri Sampradaya (the Vaishnava lineage established by Sri Ramanujacharya). The initiation was done by Sri Vedavyasa Rangaraj Bhattar Acharya, who is a disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya, thus linking the Sri Sampradaya and Kriya Yoga lineages.
A Life of Devotion
Born into a Hindu family on the island of Mauritius in 1978, Paramahamsa Vishwananda came to Europe at the age of 19. He established His Bhakti Marga mission in 2005 and it now operates all over the world. His 30 Bhakti Marga Swamis and Swaminis live, work and travel in support of this global mission which has established 30 temples in 19 countries, as well as thousands of Bhakti Marga groups in over 80 countries on six continents. His main ashram, Shree Peetha Nilaya, is in Germany, with ashrams also in India, Latvia and Russia.
At the 2015 Kumbh Mela, Paramahamsa Vishwananda was awarded the title of Mahamandaleshwar, (one who resides over many ashrams and temples as guardian and pillar of faith). He is the first person outside of Inda to hold this title.
In 2016 He was presented the Bharat Gaurav Lifetime Achievement Award in the House of Parliament, London.
With His spiritual family growing around the world, He tirelessly travels to meet spiritual seekers ready to receive His blessing and to help them open their hearts to the love that resides within.

King Men's Volleyball goes to 7-8 on the season with a 3-1 (25-19, 25-23, 18-25, 25-17) win over Emmanuel, GA this evening. The Tornado relied on sound blocking, a hustling defense, and some timely kills to get the victory. Jeff Bosslet led the king attack tallying 36 assists while also collecting 6 digs and 5 Blocks. Senior Ashton Hippenstiel led the team in kills(10) followed by Stephen Brown(8), Michael Koebel(7), and Matt Harper(7). The tornado defense made it very tough on Emmanuel with Ned Parker leading with 11 digs and Stephen Brown adding 9 digs. King also dominated at the net with a team total of 19 blocks.
The first set between Emmanual and King was a close contest. Each teams exchanged leads and ties until 17-17. With the score tied Matt Harper went on a five point service run to give the Tornado a commanding 22-17 lead. In this run, the Tornado defense had 2 blocks and 3 digs to cement the lead and ultimatly the first set. The 2nd set saw Emmanual out in front most of the way. Mason Casner came off the bench to provide an offensive spark. The Sophomore middle blocker had 3 kills in 6 attempts to help King tie the score at 22-22. King and Emmanuel would both sideout to tie the game up again before King got a block from Stephen Brown/Matt Harper to push the Tornado lead to 24-23. Brown would serve set point and get the dig leading to Harper's thunderous killl to end the second set. The third set was all Emmanuel as their serving and offense had the Tornado scrambling for answers. Emmanuel led the whole set and cruised to a 25-18 victory. The fourth and final set saw King jump out early to a five point advantage. After an Emmanual timeout, the visiting team got to within one point 11-10. From here the Tornado scored 4 straight to get the lead to 5 points and never looked back. Michael Koebel and Stephen Brown had 3 kills a piece in the final set to clinch the Tornado victory.
King will host Erskine (12 pm) and Barton College (4 pm) tomorrow afternoon at Kline Gymnasium as they continue Cancer Awareness Weekend.

CLEVELAND (AP) — A man who has spent 23 years in an Ohio prison for his girlfriend's slaying but maintains his innocence could be released soon after the new county prosecutor in Cleveland asked a court to void his conviction.
Court records show Cuyahoga County prosecutors asked that King, 59, be freed while they further investigate.
Prosecutors said advances in DNA testing and understanding forensic evidence have called into question the theory of the crime that prosecutors presented at King's 1995 trial.
Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley said Tuesday that his office consulted with the medical examiner, who explained that the way DNA evidence was interpreted at the time of King's trial is no longer valid.
"After learning of the current analysis of the evidence, I believe that it is my duty to vacate Evin King's conviction," O'Malley said.
Cleveland.com (http://bit.ly/2pNNwwH) reports King learned about the development in a phone call from the Ohio Innocence Project, which represented him in multiple appeals.
"I knew this day would come one day, and I knew I would cry," King said through tears in a video of the call. Speaking of his mother, King said "she's looking down on me."
His girlfriend, Crystal Hudson, was found strangled in her closet in 1994. Of the two types of DNA found at the scene, one did not match King and the other could not be tested due to old DNA technology.
Prosecutors argued Hudson was with another man before her death, but King killed her. A jury convicted King, and he was sentenced to life in prison with eligibility for parole after 15 years.
The Innocence Project took his case and did new testing in 2009. The tests found both types of DNA from the scene matched the same person, whose DNA did not match King's.
Even with the new developments, prosecutors fought to keep King's conviction, and a county judge refused to grant a new trial.
O'Malley, who took office in January, assigned a new assistant prosecutor to take King's case. The Innocence Project praised his decision to void the conviction.
"In several past cases in Cuyahoga County, and today with Evin King's case, the prosecutors in Cleveland put justice above winning," the project's co-founder said.
Court records show King could be released from custody this week.
Judge Brian Corrigan has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday.

Book Spine Poetry Contest winners
The Fond du Lac Public Library's annual Fond du Lac Reads celebration in October focused on the novel, Wingshooters, by Nina Revoyr. During the month, the community was invited to "write" poems in the library's Book Spine Poetry Contest – Talking About Tolerance. Poems were written using the words on the spines of books, movies or CDs.
On Wednesday, Mary Wehner and Paula Sergi of the Foot of the Lake Poetry Collective judged the entries and awarded first, second and third place prizes.
First place was awarded to Noreen O'Brien for her poem:
Heart Disease
The stranger next door
The war against germs
You are what you say
Feel the fear and do it anyway
An imperfect offering:
Welcome to the neighborhood
"We value surprise in a poem," the judges wrote. "This poem, with its clever title, takes the reader to a less obvious place. It speaks to tolerance and respect for the outsider and the inner struggles we have with the unfamiliar in our lives."
O'Brien received original art donated by Fond du Lac Visual Arts member Nicci Martin (a decorative bowl, three papier-mache house sculptures and a small painting), a gift certificate from Trinity Restaurant and gift certificates from the library's used bookstore, The BookCellar.
Second place was awarded to Jean Creydt:
What Comes After Crazy
A promise of hope
Happiness is
The greatest gift
The judges wrote, "This poem displays an unusual play on the theme of tolerance. It presents with just a few lines the bias against mental illness that still exists in our culture. The poem suggests grace and hope as a possible resolution."
Creydt received a fall gift basket and gift certificate from Bookworld and BookCellar gift certificates.
Third place was awarded to Marcella Paliekara:
The Way Back
We live in public
Trial by media
True lies
Learning from the heart
From the inside
Love is
The only way I know
The judges wrote, "a cautionary poem against judging one another, this writer suggests self-reflection as an antidote to this pervasive social ill. Media and gossip are strong forces but inner strength and love of humanity wins out in the end."
Paliekara received a gift certificate from Cujak's Wine Market, the DVD "Dead Poet's Society" and BookCellar gift certificates.
Everyone entering the book spine contest received a BookCellar gift certificate. All the poems are posted on the library's Flickr page.
