Science policy
2007: A Space Policy
The House of Commons Science and Technology Select Committee has published its investigation into UK space policy...
This week the House of Commons Select Committee on Science and Technology published their report into UK Space Policy. After consultation with Fellows, Professor Michael Rowan-Robinson, RAS President, submitted written and oral evidence on behalf of the Society. The report refers to RAS evidence 19 times.
The Committee concentrated their investigation on civil rather than military space activity. In the financial year 2005-2006 Government space expenditure amounted to £207.61 million or 0.038% of GDP. The commercial space industry has a turnover of £4.8 billion or 0.2% of GDP. MPs thus recognised the very high economic return that results from a small level of public investment.
Committee MPs acknowledge that space is becoming an increasingly important sector for the UK. However, the lack of Government support for the early stages of technology development is placing our scientists and engineers at a disadvantage. MPs are also worried about a skills shortage and that potential space scientists and engineers are moving into other sectors.
MPs also examined a variety of other areas including knowledge transfer, Earth observation programmes, Satellite navigation, education and outreach, space medicine, human space exploration and space tourism.
Committee Chairman Phil Willis commented; "Space should be an arena in which today's fantastic ideas are assessed seriously because they could be tomorrow's reality. It is crucial that the Government increases funding for space programmes now in order to benefit future generations."
A copy of the report can be downloaded from http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200607/cmselect/cmsctech/66/66i.pdf
Some of the RAS contributions are set out below, together with the reaction of the Committee's MPs:
MPs noted the report of the RAS commission on the value of human space exploration and the strong endorsement of our subsequent policy paper (96% of Fellows voted to support this). Professor Rowan-Robinson clarified the RAS position, acknowledging that some science goals (e.g. deep drilling on Mars in a search for life) require human involvement but that this should not compromise the funding of other space and astronomy activity. Involvement would only be possible within a greatly expanded science programme.
The report criticises the Government's outright rejection of human space exploration. MPs want the option for such missions to be left open and to be judged on the basis of the best science.
MPs agreed that BNSC should be strengthened but that the current level of expenditure did not justify moving to an agency model.
The Committee were attracted by this idea and recommend that a Space Forum is established that operates along these lines.
There was a full endorsement of this position by the Committee. MPs supported collaboration, but not at the expense of scientific quality.
MPs agreed with this statement and suggested that BNSC should work to accomplish this more effectively.
The Committee recommend that the newly created Department for Children, Schools and Families should engage properly with the space community, working closely with the new Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS) and take a lead through the BNSC partnership.
Prof Rowan-Robinson and RAS Policy Officer Dr Robert Massey commented on the report in several media outlets including Radio 4's Today programme, Radio 5 Live and BBC News 24. The Telegraph cited the RAS contribution to the final report.

Your sewer lines play an important role in your plumbing system. While your clean water lines supply you with potable water that you can use for your daily activities, your sewer lines are the ones responsible for transporting the waste from your home to your septic tank or the city sewer. What you have to remember is that proper use of your plumbing is important to avoid getting your sewer lines clogged. For instance, non-biodegradable waste should not be flushed down the toilet or thrown down the drain pipes. These include cigarette butts, diapers, body wipes, condoms and cotton swabs among many others. You should also have your lines cleaned and inspected regularly to ensure that they are still in good condition or that they don't have holes or cracks.
The Importance Of Having The Sewer Line Inspected
When buying a home, you should definitely consider having a sewer line inspection done before committing to a certain property. Older sewer pipes in our area used to be made from clay and cement, and many of them have breaks, cracks, offsets, and even whole parts have broken away due to settling, earth movement, tree roots, etc. You can imagine what sorts of problems these issues create in homes. Most cities require that homeowners pay for any repairs needed, up to the part that joins their part in the street – quite a long distance in some cases. In Seattle we started recommending them as a matter of course years ago as it became clear that our elderly infrastructure wasn't aging all that well, not to mention that sewer repairs can be so costly. I hear that agents on the Eastside are beginning to recommend them too, though it's not quite as common.
Apparently, sewer inspection is not only particularly important for already homeowners but also for those who are just planning to buy a house. Inspections will save people from a lot of plumbing problems as well as avoid unwanted and highly expensive repairs. If the house is old, an inspection should not be disregarded. Read more about this from this valuable online resource I found.
Sewer Inspections for Older Homes
Tree roots growing into sewer lines is a common problem. Roots crawl into tiny openings and expand in the sewer line, latching on to other debris that typically cause backups such as grease or eggshell waste. Sometimes chemicals can kill the trees roots but if the roots reappear, the pipe may be damaged and require excavation to fix the problem.
Homes that were constructed prior to city sewers often relied on cesspools. After cities installed public septic systems, sometimes the cesspools were left intact and connected to the sewer line. You won't know unless you inspect the sewer.
Many homes built in the 1950s have sewer lines made from tar paper called Orangeburg pipes. These disintegrate and collapse over time. If a home has Orangeburg, the sewer line definitely needs to be replaced.
I hope I have shared with you the importance of an inspection done through a video camera sewer line in fort lauderdale FL . video camera sewer line in fort lauderdale FL.

What do you see as past examples of best of British engineering and invention?
I believe the following, whilst being innovative themselves have also been hugely important in revolutionising key industries and the way of life in Britain.
Firstly, Henry Maudslay's Screw Cutting Lathe of around 1800 was the beginning of accurately machined consistent components. Arguably without his lathe, Britain's industrial revolution would not have continued at the same rate.
Then Trevithick's Steam Engine of 1802 led to trains which revolutionised travel and employment opportunities. Without Frank Whittle's Jet Engine the unprecedented growth in passenger air travel would not have been possible.
Invention of the computer involved several people; Alan Turing's role was clearly highly significant and Babbage's work certainly relevant. From the early computer so much has developed that we take for granted; the PC, Macbook, and now smart phones and tablets. Tim Berners-Lee's World Wide Web completely transformed computer communication networks into the Internet.
What current products showcase this country's engineering excellence?
Today's great products come in two types, the major complex item and the simple but innovative consumer product. Examples of the former in my company, BAE Systems, are the Typhoon aircraft – the world's only jet fighter capable of 'swinging' between air to air attack and ground attack in the same mission, and the Astute submarine whose sonars are so advanced that they can detect movement of shipping in New York harbour from the Solent.
Both are fantastic examples of highly complex, heavily integrated, technology sophisticated, products which can do so much physically in terms of manoeuvrability, as well as autonomously - in addition to taking advantage of highly advanced computer processing.
Examples at the simple end are many of the household products which we take for granted, rechargeable handheld vacuum cleaners being an example here.
Why young people should get into the engineering sector?
Everything that is around us has been engineered, and engineers directly influence our future. I believe engineering offers young people a hugely fulfilling and long-term career that has so many options, variety and elements that there is something to meet every aspiration. A young person can begin as an apprentice and 'learn whilst they earn' or follow an academic route in studying an engineering degree.
Engineering brings the chance to work on the world's most technically advanced projects, from oil rigs and skyscrapers to aircraft and sports stadiums. Engineers can travel or be home based, work in teams or alone and cover a range of disciplines from computing to chemical engineering and medical equipment to water supply. Engineering offers the chance to contribute positively to society while involved in work that is exciting, challenging, and engaging and is well paid and stable compared to many other professions.
How is your company attracting people into engineering?
Companies like BAE Systems are reliant on the skills of their engineers. It's so vital to us that we invest £83 million in skills every year in the UK alone. This includes a nationwide programme of engineering 'roadshows' that visit 250 schools per annum supported by about 400 of our engineers who then deliver workshops for students, build bridges and mini-robots for example.
We collaborate with all the UK's engineering organisations in supporting the country's largest science event for young people – The Big Bang Science and Engineers' Fair - which takes place in March of every year. In addition we work really hard to promote the value of apprenticeships for young people and also encourage engineering companies to offer apprentice training programmes.
Companies like BAE Systems are around 20 times over-subscribed for every apprentice place. The problem for us is in our supply chain where there are simply not enough engineers. The more companies that can offer engineering apprenticeships the better for the nation's skills-base and economic wellbeing. We are competing with India and China to ensure we have enough engineers in the UK – it's a war for talent.

C&L's Late Nite Music Club with Simon & Garfunkel
(Guest blogged by Howie Klein)
As we sometimes do, we asked tomorrow's Blue America candidate to tell us about his favorite music. Tomorrow Rancho Cucamonga businessman Russ Warner will be over at Firedoglake at 11am (PT) explaining why he'd be a better bet to represent his L.A.-area congressional district than rubber stamp incumbent David Dreier.
But put politics aside for a moment and let's just get into Russ' head on a music level. I asked him to give us a song that has been a real inspiration in his life. He didn't hesitate for a moment. "I was driving in a car, maybe 1970 or so; someone had given me an 8-track," he recalled with a laugh. "The message was so powerful, I had to pull over so I could hear every word. Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel describe who we are at our core of humanity. Everyone has problems and everyone needs a bridge and a helping hand at one time or another. It's something every one of us has in common regardless of political party." You've probably guessed Russ' favorite song by now:
If you'd like to win a beautifully embroidered "Impeach Cheney?" baseball cap tell us if there's a song that has meant something like this in your life and why. Entries to firstname.lastname@example.com

Platinum-selling, Grammy-winning country artist David Ball and his band, The Pioneer Playboys, are set to perform Friday at The Texas Players Club in Longview
The opening act is David Baxter and the Iron Horse Band.
Ball, perhaps best known for hits "Thinking Problem" and "Riding With Private Malone," is touring in support of his newest album "Sparkle City."
"It's some of the best songs I've got," he said. "One song on there ... it's the best song I've ever had. It's called 'What'll I Do if I Don't Have You.'"
The song has an old-country feel to it -- much like most of Ball's work. He said the song was dedicated the charity Operation Troop Aid.
The charity, where Ball is an honorary board member, raises money for care packages for deployed military members and helps them pay bills once they return home. Friday's show will benefit the charity.
"It sad to hear about things like suicide, depression funky diseases. I think a lot of that stress can be alleviated if the country shows concern for their welfare," he said. "That's what Operation Troop Aid is really about."
Although he has achieved massive critical and professional success as an artist, Ball bucks current trends and creates music how he sees fit.
He said people who are fans of old-style country music have enjoyed "Sparkle City," but without massive corporate support, it doesn't get the same publicity of more radio-friendly new-style country albums.
"There has been no real push behind it, so we're doing it one show at a time," he said. "We approached it in our own way, and we're out spreading the word. I call it 'non-corporate country music.' I'm really proud of this record. We had a great time recording it."
Even at his commercial peak, Ball said he didn't quite fit in with mainstream country radio.
"Radio has always been a struggle for me," he said. "I was always really lucky to get in there and to get a couple of hits. The door didn't just stay open for me. People we're confused by 'Thinkin' Problem.' I don't know what they thought it was. To me, it was just good country music."
Ball said his roots are from folk and old country music, and his sound proves it. His guitar work is mostly simple, well-crafted and amazingly catchy. Much like artists who inspired him when he was young, strong rhythm and lyrics drive his work.
"I was always a fan of music, as a kid and as an adult," he said. "I've always been a fan, and there are a lot of people like me."
He and his band are betting the success of "Sparkle City" on the live shows, and he is hoping the scaled back approach will gain fans of his new work.
"I know what it is like to have that big radio hit behind you when you go out to play, and it's hard to beat as far as excitement," he said.
Ball said he is happy in the direction he is taking with the music creation, and the less-than-commercial approach of writing, recording and touring fuels him better creatively.
"That's all one process, and that's the way I like to do it," he said. "It wasn't always that way. You have to be excited about the new song, you want the band to learn it. You want to get out there and play it in front of people. That's what keeps us going. We have a lot of really exciting stuff. And, we still have the old hits. I'm still doing some of the same stuff I've always done."
He says fans should expect an intimate, dance-worthy experience at the concert. He said one of his favorite parts of Texas audiences is that they will break out into a two-step at the show.
"We have a great band, and we love to play," he said. "If I had to pick something, I would say I am a ballroom, live singer. I kind of worked at the song-writing thing -- that's why I came to Nashville. I got a publishing deal, and it gave me a good long period to do nothing but write. It was fun, and I learned a lot. Then I threw that all out the window, and now I just write whatever strikes my fancy -- whatever I want to hear. I'm coming from a different place."
"'Sparkle City' -- I got exactly what I wanted," he said. "The sound was good; it was energetic. It's very rewarding, and people like it. We haven't made a dent with it down in Texas yet, but we take it everywhere we go."
Ball said he also is excited about opening act, David Baxter and the Iron Horse Band.
"We were listening to some of his stuff, and it's pretty dad-gum good," he said.

European travel guide website, blog and open travel social community.
(PRWEB) September 13, 2011
EuropeTravel.net has today debuted their new online social community and website where visitors can share information about travel and sightseeing in any of the 55 countries that comprise Europe. In addition, the goal of EuropeTravel.net is to help create an informative network that allows travel companies to reach and connect with new customers.
This groundbreaking new website is designed for both travelers and travel companies, and offers something of value to everyone. Travelers can easily create a customized account and start sharing with others on the network. They can upload videos of their travels, share photos and join discussions about European travel, news related to travel and about the amazing destinations in Europe.
This provides an excellent way for travelers to share information on their favorite destinations, but also to engage with others who share their passions, to explore new travel possibilities and to find great deals as well. Travelers can create social profiles that give as much (or as little) information as they want, organize their photos and videos, post entries and more.
For businesses, the benefits are manifold. For instance, resorts can easily create free classified listings on the site to promote their offers. Travel companies, resorts and other businesses can upload videos that highlight the beauty of their location, their amenities and more. In addition, all of these services are available to businesses and travelers at no charge – EuropeTravel.net is completely free to use.
Businesses also gain the advantage of being able to market directly to travelers, something that is not possible on other social networks and communities. Targeted marketing and offers made directly to those who are most likely to be interested offer the best possible conversion and ensure that travel companies, resorts and others are able to engage with new customers on a scale not possible previously.
To find out more about EuropeTravel.net, visit http://www.EuropeTravel.net, or connect with them on Twitter @europetravelnet.
About EuropeTravel.net: EuropeTravel.net is a European travel guide website, blog and open travel social community. It was designed to connect visitors and travel professionals, and help build an informative platform dedicated to all aspects of traveling throughout the 55 European nations.

Here is a project that I thought might interest you as it intrigued me. I sketched a drawing of my sister for a book cover – she loves books and I decided to make her a journal. I have always wanted to put my drawings onto clay and this method allows for an (almost) seemless image. Sketching on clay is difficult but if you sketch onto paper – then transfer the image onto clay and kiln fire the piece you have essentially a permanent record of your drawings.
Here is the method that I have been experimenting with over the last several weeks:
Step One : Make the Ink, photocopy image, Roll out clay slab
In a small container add 3 parts linseed oil to 2 parts mason stain – stir for about 10-15mins.
Let mixture stand overnight for best results
The mason stain is toxic so PLEASE wear rubber gloves and a dust mask for SAFETY.
Photocopy image on a black and white xerox copier – ink jet will not work as it is the toner that is the ingredient that allows the image to transfer. I recomment copying in reverse (negative) so the image will be right side or positive when place down on the clay.
Roll out slab and let sit until leather hard – overnight.
Take a break and start again in the morning….
Step two: list of items required
On a table place 2 pieces of glass – one for your image and one for the ink
2 sponges
In 2 bowls fill with water one large and a smaller container
In the large container of water put a small drop of gum arabic
Have on hand premixed ink, brayer, papertowels, spoon to mix ink, photocopied images and leatherhard clay slab.
As you can see in this photograph the sketch is photocopied reversed so that it will be correct when finished.
Next place about a tablespoon of GUM ARABIC onto the glass set out for the image AND onto the other piece of glass put a line of INK ( STIR first).Smooth out the Gum Arabic over the glass until you have covered the glass in the same approximate area of your image.
Now place the image FACEUP on the glass over the gum arabic. With your fingertips (remember your rubber gloves) gently smooth the gum arabic over top of the image until an even layer all over is applied.
With a papertowel remove the excess gum arabic from around the image and the glass.
Place the brayer over the ink and roll in one direction until the brayer has an even coat of Ink. Now carefully roll onto the image until an even coat is ontop of the image.
Take the wet sponge from the container with the gum arabic and squeeze the water over the image – do not touch the image with the sponge – this is the wash out stage. Now with the other smaller container of just water wet the sponge and ring out until damp. Lightly sponge up the excess water from the image and pat dry over top of the image in the white areas – leaving the darkened areas as much as possible.
DO NOT rub the image as the wet paper will tear – GENTLY pat dry.
Step three: Repeat Inking, gumarabic water sponge washing out, patting dry with clean sponge. cleanup arean with papertowel around the image.You should ink and wash out and pat dry – three times.
Step Four: Place image face down onto clay slab.
This is the most difficult part as you must be careful not to rip the wet paper image.
With your fingers or a tool pull up the corner of the image. You only have one chance at this so be careful when placing the image onto the clay. center it carefully. I use a larger slab and just place it in the middle and then cut my clay to size. It is also important that your clay slab is smooth for best results as a clay slab with pit marks or dents will affect your image transfer. Once the image has been placed onto the clay pat down with a clean damp sponge – being careful that the paper does not move on the clay and smudge the ink image. Gently pat removing air bubbles and making sure it is adhered to the clay.
Let dry for about 10 – 20 minutes. With the back of a spoon burnish over the entire area of the image. Once the burnishing is complete you can pull up a corner to see how well your image is transferred – if it needs more burnishing place the corner back down and burnish over the area again. Remove the paper in an upward movement – The paper image must be removed prior to firing in the kiln.I have also noticed the longer it is left to dry on the clay it adheres making it difficult to remove leaving behind paper bits. If this occurs try to remove as much as possible but only leave to dry approximately 20 minutes for best results before burnishing.
I have made a book cover as my sister loves books and I want to make her a journal. I cut the clay to the size and leave to dry before placing in the kiln.
Or watch the video by ceramicsartdaily.org
Be patient it took me several trys before I got results that I was happy with and still need some more practice with other mason colors and other projects – plates? inspirational messages on cubes ? sculpture?
– Have FUN!! It is endless what you can do with clay!

Students launch English immersion program in China
By the end of summer his freshman year, Rory Truex started dreaming in Chinese. By the end of summer his junior year, he had made it possible for students in China to start dreaming in English.
Grant supports expansion of community-based research
For nearly a decade, Princeton's Community-Based Learning Initiative (CBLI) has brought together students and community organizations for research projects on pressing issues such as poverty, criminal justice and environmental preservation.
HR classes connect staff with new skills, peer networks
Diane Griffiths used to struggle with delegating work to other people. After she enrolled in a series of learning and development classes given this year by the Office of Human Resources, she learned strategies for teaching skills to other staff members, and ways to step back and patiently manage their work, rather than intervene. Griffiths is one of 125 staff members enrolled in the Core Learning Curriculum and Management Development Certificate program, and the first to complete it.

text: Our lease at 321 Wellington is coming due and the Branch has been searching everywhere in Kitchener-Waterloo for a new home. We are pleased to announce that we have located a new building at 315 Breithaupt St in Kitchener. Basically it's right around the corner from our present location. At present it is just one big room so we have a lot of construction that needs to be done to make it home. One of the most important features of the "New Ship" will be a 30' x 60' parade deck with 14' ceilings While we are going through the different phases of construction we will try to keep you informed of where we are in the status of our new home. Obviously the renovations are going to be expensive. So as we proceed we will be looking for people who will help with some of the construction. If you have a special trade that would benefit us please contact Shawn Dittmer the President of the Branch.at firstname.lastname@example.com. We will also be needing a lot of help financially. That's why we have setup our "Save Our Ship Campaign" (S.O.S.) For more information on the SOS Campaign follow the above link. At this moment we have had drawings made of our plans and we have submitted them and received the OK to proceed from the City of Kitchener. Right now we are just waiting for the building permit to start installing the plumbing. We are expecting the permit any day now.

AbstractSix populations of Laurencia nangii were found to produce three bromoallenes; dihydroitomanallene B (1), itomanallene B (2) and pannosallene (3). Prior to this report, L. nangii were only known to produce C15-acetogenins with acetylene functionality. This could be regarded as a new chemical race of L. nangii. The compound structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic analysis and comparison with those previously reported in literature. Compound 1, dihydroitomanallene B, was isolated as a new compound representing a minor variation of itomanallene B (2).

Events like this dare us all to be bolder in our work to transcend differences and make a difference.
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB) November 05, 2013
The annual Spirit & Place Festival is in full swing following an exciting opening night event and award of $20,000 to one organization's most daring project on race. Javier Barrera of the Latino Youth Collective was awarded the prize Friday, Nov. 1 following his presentation of "Race: A Look Inside" during the "$20k: A Competition About Race" event at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Barrera presented alongside three other finalists previously selected by a panel of judges among a pool of 43 applicants.
The winning project proposed the Latino Youth Collective's creation of a comprehensive educational kit including a documentary, website and public screenings to capture current notions of race in Central Indiana over the first half of 2014. Barrera was chosen by a combination of votes from the audience and judges.
"The project is designed 100 percent around civic engagement, each of its components intended to allow public participation at many levels," says Barrera. "By touching on topics often ignored, we hope the documentary will spark and ignite deep and thoughtful conversations by challenging viewers to be self-critical. We believe there is no culture of self-improvement without a culture of self-reflection."
Now in its 18th year, the Indianapolis-based Spirit and Place Festival celebrates the theme of "RISK" through November 10 with a series of more than 30 diverse and thought-provoking programs in various venues. Inherent in the human experience, "RISK" will be explored in a broad range of events looking through the lens of culture, faith, history, education, and more. The opening night event continued the festival's inaugural Signature Series, a collection of dynamic programs and events presented year-round that reflect the annual theme.
"Events like this dare us all to be bolder in our work to transcend differences and make a difference," says Spirit & Place Festival Director Pam Blevins-Hinkle. "This is what Spirit & Place is all about – bringing disparate people, ideas, and organizations together in new ways to spark collective action for the common good. This year's theme of 'RISK' provides a fantastic stage to launch a community challenge such as the $20K event, and the 2014 theme of 'JOURNEY' will offer ample space for continued exploration and discovery around ideas that matter."
A full list of festival events is available at spiritandplace.org. The 2013 Spirit & Place Festival runs through November 10.
About the Spirit & Place Festival
The Spirit & Place Festival catalyzes civic engagement, respect for diversity, public imagination, and enduring change Spirit & Place is a collaborative community project managed by The Polis Center, part of the Indiana University School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI. Major partners include Lilly Endowment Inc.; Allen Whitehill Clowes Charitable Foundation, Inc.; The Scott A. Jones Foundation; Bohlsen Group; The Indianapolis Foundation, a CICF Fund; IUPUI; IU School of Liberal Arts at IUPUI; University of Indianapolis, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis Public Library and more than 200 other community partners and donors.

UFC 222 was in danger of being canceled when Holloway was forced to pull out with an injury. The pair were originally slated to fight at UFC 218 in Detroit, but an eye injury forced Edgar out and Holloway defended his belt against Jose Aldo in an immediate rematch.
Enter Cristiane 'Cyborg' Justino to save the day. Cyborg successfully defended her strap against Holly Holm at UFC 219 on the end of December card and is making the quick turnaround on three weeks notice to save the card. Her challenger is former Invicta FC bantamweight champion Yana Kunitskaya, who is making her UFC debut on short notice.
Edgar remains on the card as well, fighting the rising Brian Ortega in a default No. 1 contender bout for the featherweight strap.
The UFC also explored a banatamweight title fight between champion T.J. Dillashaw and Cody Garbrandt, a rematch of their UFC 217 title fight. Dillashaw declined citing the birth of his child and being out of a regular training regiment, he also felt Garbrandt didn't deserve an immediate rematch after a second-round TKO and pointed to his long road back to a title fight after a narrow decision loss to Dominick Cruz.

2011 chevrolet colorado regular cab pickup
About Chevrolet Colorado Regular Cab
Mid-size pickup trucks make a lot of sense, especially if you use your vehicle for work and play rather than shuttling to the office and running weekend errands. But, with budgets tight and fuel expensive a full-size pickup is probably overkill for most needs, which is why the 2012 Chevrolet Colorado is the right-size pickup for today's light-duty chores. Although its aging platform isn't as fresh as the Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier, the Colorado still has a rugged charm about it. And its price point certainly can't be argued with, offering one of the most affordable entry-level trucks on the market. With the temporary demise of the Ford Ranger for 2012 (an all-new model is set to debut in 2013) and Ram not offering a Regular Cab Dakota, the Colorado has the domestic market all to itself. With a broad range of models, cab and bed configurations and engine choices, not to mention rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive, the Colorado is an attractive prospect for budget-conscious working folk and truck junkies in general

A. Sysinternals offers a free utility called BgInfo (short for "background information") that displays configurable system information on your desktop wallpaper. I find BgInfo very useful. I use Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 and VMWare Workstation sessions extensively and use BgInfo to display the machine information on the desktop, which helps me to remember exactly which environment I'm working on.
Because BgInfo runs as an application and not as a service, the utility can't automatically update configurable system information on the desktop. However, you can automate the update process by scheduling the application to run periodically, or you can run BgInfo at startup to update system information every time you log on. This figure shows the default information that appears on screen when you run BgInfo.
You can also add information to the BgInfo desktop image as output from a script, a registry subkey, file content, an environment variable, or a Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) query. Be aware that if you use wallpaper that isn't the full size of your desktop and you typically use the desktop settings to stretch the wallpaper, BgInfo stretches the image, making it appear more jagged than usual. For best results, use a full-size background (e.g., use a paint package to resize the wallpaper if necessary).

Marois sprints while Trudeau runs. You may not like them, but you better get used to them...
The PQ government of Pauline Marois hasn't been in power for four weeks and already it's making waves.
The plug has essentially been pulled on any shale gas exploration in Quebec, the tuition hikes that sparked last month's provincial election seem to have been shelved and Marois' government has decided to slap a wealth tax on Quebecers making more than $130,000.
And all that before the National Assembly has convened.
Thing is, that PQ government is in a minority position and CAQ leader Francois Legault is already making threatening noises about letting that government fall rather than support an agenda that includes tax hikes.
Is this mere posturing? Is this going to be the melodramatic shape of government in Quebec City for the foreseeable future?
And speaking of the future, what effect, if any, will a leadership bid for the helm of the federal Liberals by Justin Trudeau have on the political chessboard in Quebec and in the rest of the country?
We asked political scientist Bruce Hicks of Carleton University to sort it out for us.
This is what he said:

Much conversation surrounds the topic of personal branding in an economy where way more people are looking for jobs and companies seem to be hiring less often. Sticking out in a sea of applicants is becoming harder and harder if you're not willing to give up the lazy practice of just sending out cover letters and resumes to nameless job openings. Dan Schawbel has really helped bring personal branding discussion to another level and given people ideas on where their job searching and career development strategies could be bolstered. However, I'm finding that my personal situation is becoming slightly too complex for the bread and butter personal branding advice that I'm seeing flood the interwebs every day.
I want to do too much. Anyone who knows me well might critique me with having a million irons in the fire at any given moment. I look at that as my key to current and future success. Through osmosis and relative early adoption, I've been blogging and thinking self-critically for several years now. It wasn't like I was suddenly on the scene giving advice to people about their lives and being featured on blog networks; I started blogging while I had a full time job and learned as I went along.
Since I started blogging and thinking myself as a brand, as well as a rather funky homosapean, I've switched jobs a couple times, completed a ton of freelance contracts and currently find myself working a full time job as well as being a community editor for the best Generation Y job seekers social network on the web. I work and I work and when I'm finished working at the end of the day, I work some more. I'm passionate and probably a bit nuts, but I know that at some point a few years ago when I decided to pursue my career in marketing and social media, I committed to myself that I wasn't going to go at it half-assed and that I was going to ride this strange ride until the wheels fell off.
Do you ever get so busy with something you love doing that you forget why you started and need to take stock of what you're all about again? Ryan Paugh's blog post about launching the new Brazen Careerist social network struck me when he wrote about a gut check he had with Penelope Trunk regarding the scalability of his job.
I pulled Penelope aside a couple weeks ago to talk to her about this.
"How exactly does a Community Manager scale?" I asked.
"Where does his/her career path lead?"
"Ryan, you're doing a great job," she reminded me.
And I realized that I know exactly how to scale my job. Well, not exactly. The Community Manager role in business is still a little young to know the exact path, but I know that it involves growing along with the Community and continuing to be a voice to as many as possible even when that number rockets through the thousands, to the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands and millions.
You know… personal branding still rocks in my mind. I personally know many people who stand to benefit from it if they simply take a little time and make some effort in branding themselves. There is tons of good information out there for newbies who are looking to get into this new, big world of social networking and career development. As for me, I've done it, I am doing it and now I'm sort of scratching my head as I work my butt off trying to figure out what's next.
I'm probably not going to read "it" in a blog or get "it" from a coach. The "it" factor for me won't be purchased in book for either. No, I'll probably attribute the long days and nights of work and a rigorous daily mental regimen of self-critique to my Ah Hah!" moment when it comes in the middle of the night or early in the morning.
I liken this moment of growth to something I'm quite fond of; pushups. You do them every day, no questions. Perfect technique, burning muscles, boredom, repetitiveness.. you simply do the damn pushups every day. Your numbers rise, 20, 30, 40, 50… 50… you can't get past 50! Weeks pass and 50 is pretty much the last number of pushups you can do before your muscles quiver and you fall on your face. Why keep doing them if you know that no more are coming? Finally you decided to take a day off, you're disgusted with yourself, you relax, you don't worry about how your arms and chest look for just one day and then the next day, you're back on the band wagon and what do you know… you just did 65 pushups and you know you could probably do even more. THOSE are the types of moments I live for.

WGU M.A. Science Education (Secondary Biological Science)
The M.A. Science Education (Secondary Biological Science) is a competency-based degree program that prepares already licensed teachers to be licensed to teach biology in grades 5-12 and provides the opportunity to develop skills in science curriculum development, design, and evaluation. All work in this degree program is online and includes General Science Content, Biology Content, and Science Education courses. All students complete a culminating Teacher Performance Assessment.
General Education
Introduction to Biology
This course is a foundational introduction to the biological sciences. The overarching theories of life from biological research are explored as well as the fundamental concepts and principles of the study of living organisms and their interaction with the environment. Key concepts include how living organisms use and produce energy; how life grows, develops, and reproduces; how life responds to the environment to maintain internal stability; and how life evolves and adapts to the environment.
Biology Content
Human Anatomy and Physiology
This course examines the structures and functions of the human body and covers anatomical terminology, cells and tissues, and organ systems. Students will use a dissection lab to study the healthy state of the organ systems of the human body, including the digestive, skeletal, sensory, respiratory, reproductive, nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, lymphatic, integumentary, endocrine, and renal systems. There are no prerequisites for this course.
Molecular and Cellular Biology
Molecular and Cellular Biology provides students seeking licensure or endorsement in biology, grades 5-12, with an introduction to the area of molecular and cellular biology. Molecular and Cellular Biology examines the cell as an organism emphasizing molecular basis of cell structure and functions of biological macromolecules, subcellular organelles, intracellular transport, cell division, and biological reactions. Prerequisite: Introduction to Biology.
Heredity and Genetics
Heredity and Genetics is an introductory course for graduate students seeking initial licensure or endorsement in biology (grades 5–12). This course addresses the basic principles of heredity and the function of molecular genetics. Topics include Mendelian and non-Mendelian inheritance and population genetics. This course has no prerequisites.
Zoology provides students seeking licensure or endorsement in biology, grades 5-12, with an introduction to the field of zoology. Zoology includes the study of major animal phyla emphasizing characteristics, variations in anatomy, life cycles, adaptations, and relationships among the animal kingdom. Prerequisite: Introduction to Biology.
Students will learn why evolution is the fundamental concept that underlies all life sciences and how it contributes to advances in medicine, public health and conservation. Course participants will gain a firm understanding of the basic mechanisms of evolution including the process of speciation -- and how these systems have given rise to the great diversity of life in the world today. They will also explore how new ideas, discoveries and technologies are modifying prior evolutionary concepts. Ultimately, the course will explain how evolution works and how we know what we know.
Biology: Content Knowledge
This comprehensive course examines a student's conceptual understanding of a broad range of biology topics. High school biology teachers must help students make connections between isolated topics. For example, when studying hormones created by endocrine glands traveling through the circulatory system to maintain homeostasis, a student is connecting many biology topics. This course starts with macromolecules that make up cellular components and continues with understanding the many cellular processes that allow life to exist. Connections are then made between genetics and evolution. Classification of organisms leads into plant and animal development that study the organ systems and their role in maintaining homeostasis. The course finishes by studying ecology and the affect humans have on the environment.

Otts an alto sax player out of Lee Konitz, but without quite his knotty sense of inquisitiveness, and while Rosenwinkel often outshines him in the solo department, the band collectively works effectively in its chosen style."

If I put the latest speedmod kernel on it, is that ICS or have I got it all wrong. My current Kernel version is XXKI3. Can I just go ahead and put Speedmod onto it using Odin or do I have to find a specific version of it? Many Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halloween Number Sequence
Lesson 3 of 3
Objective: Students will be able to sequence the numerals 1 - 10.
Big Idea: Kindergartners love puzzles. In this activity, students cut apart and put together a Halloween puzzle.
To introduce this lesson, I play a Halloween Counting song from YouTube. The video has an ad that must be skipped over, so I just make sure it is paused at the right spot and ready to go ahead of time. The video also needs to be stopped at 1:43, to avoid the advertisements that follow.
I begin the lesson with this video for several reasons:
- It gets my students up and moving. Kindergarteners are kinesthic learners, so any time I can use movement I do.
- Children are asked to count up and count down from 10 in the song. This is what today's lesson covers.
- The song gets my students thinking about Halloween, and in the spirit to complete some holiday work.
After our song, children are seated in front of the white board. This is where I give instruction for today's task.
The assignment has two Halloween pictures; a bat and a pumpkin. The pictures consist of strips labeled from 1 to 10. Students cut apart the picture, and then must put the picture back together again, sequencing from 1-10. When students are re-creating the picture, they glue the strips on to a piece of construction paper.
I gather children around the white board and we count up to 10 as I point to each numeral on the picture. Next I demonstrate the task by cutting out the 1, and gluing it down. Once I get the numeral 1 glued down, I call students up to glue the the next two numerals down (2, 3). We are now looking at a partial picture formed by the sequence 1, 2, 3. At this point, I believe the class is ready to go try independently. I allow my students to pick which Halloween picture they would like to sequence, the cat or the pumpkin.
This activity requires children to cut out numerals 1-10 and sequence them to make a Halloween picture. Sequencing is an important mathematical skill. The process of sequencing allows children to eventually move on to seeing patterns and structures within numbers. The picture helps guides students who may need some help with sequencing.

Independent Practice
Students work at their tables to cut apart, sequence and glue back together, the Halloween puzzle. I walk around the room to assist, and spend a large amount of time at each table. Many Kindergartners have a difficult time keeping all the strips they had, cut organized. Students mix their strips in with each others. I address this in my reflection. I have included some pictures of the class at work.

Investors should expect the stock market to display fireworks during the rest of July, according to Nicholson Report, a financial newsletter based in Coral Gables.
''We expect July to be a sparkler,'' writes Robert Nicholson, the newsletter's publisher. ''On average, July is a rather ho-hum month. In fact, it has been a modest loser in each of the past four years. But this year, we are looking for a month that will keep us all awake and smiling.''

Writing text on the snow and what kind of context?
After I and Nina had several discussions about the theme, we found that there were in common and it would be interesting to work together. We decided to use the snow as a material we will work with. Nina also has been interested in a time based material. We found that there is slope with covered with snow which no one has not touch so far in Kamppi square. It was just like a tremendous billboard. Then we came up with the idea to write something and throw simple message of remembering of space. Using a kind of graffiti technique, we want to vandalize the space in a positive way and more playful way. At the same time we are making the situation to judge it if it is wrong or it is against law. Nina suggested that we write a memory of sound.
She has been always interested in sound and talked about the memory of sound in Hakaniemi today.

Greetings from the Center for Teaching & Learning.
I hope that your spring term has gotten off to a good start. The weather actually seems to be cooperating, for a change!
ACTL has two activities planned this week which may interest you.
First, if you are participating in the LSFY program, Meg Gillette will be facilitating a session this afternoon (Monday 15 March, 4:00, Wilson Ctr.) on Plagiarism and related issues. The emphasis will be on ways that faculty can instruct students to help them understand how to properly use others' ideas and avoid issues of plagiarism. We've invited faculty members from the Honor Council and the Reading/Writing Center to talk about how these issues have played out "on the front lines." We'll also take a brief look at Turn-It-In, a software package that will check for potential plagiarism that we have integrated into moodle. Even if you are not teaching LSFY103 this term, but are interested, please join us!
On Wednesday of this week (17 March, St. Patty's Day!, 3:30, Olin 109) Mike Egan will be directing a hands-on session on ePortfolios. Attendees will begin to construct their own ePortfolios, and will leave the session with a "skeleton" of an ePortfolio ready for continued development. We'll present three different approaches to ePortfolio construction: Google sites, Microsoft Publisher, and Mahara. We encourage you to take a look at examples of each:
- Google Sites: http://sites.google.com/site/abernathyportfolio/home (created by Jeff Abernathy)
- Microsoft Publisher: http://users.augustana.edu/mikeegan (created by Mike Egan)
- Mahara: http://cterfile.ed.uiuc.edu/mahara/view/view.php?id=2 (created by Tony Hursh at the U. of Illinois)
Mike or I would be happy to answer questions. I hope you can join us.
Have a great week!

In a production process, every component could influence the final result expected. Understanding your own processes and identifying the different variables that have an impact on the production line is our mission. Either based on your internal data or enriched with external data, optimization recommendations will help you maximize your performance and increase your revenue. Collecting and processing data's also help you to predict failures before they occur and therefore maintaining your level of service as well as saving costs on potential necessary replacement. Discover below key industrial topics we focus on and the latest data science technology we choose to answer the most complex problematics.
Thanks to the power of Machine Learning and based on your own data as well as on external data, we are today able to predict precisely the behaviors of your production line. This empowers your teams to take the right actions at the right moments and to make sure you act before an unexpected situation occurs.
Make sure you have the best yield possible from your production line. Thanks to Data Science and Artificial Intelligence, our Data Scientists are able to detect the points of improvement or failure and advice on the key actions to perform to reach the best results from your production line.
By detecting the patterns leading to maintenance operations, Data Scientists are now able to predict when a problem is likely to happen based on real time values. Basing your maintenance on these real time insights helps you to better manage your ressources, to maintain your equipment in better form and to prevent unplanned decrease of activities.
Make sure to detect beforehand when the quality of process or materials is likely to decrease and avoid impacts on costs, time and overall satisfaction. Artificial Intelligence helps you today to build efficient and trusted alert systems to better manage and anticipate unexpected, irregular or uncompliant production issues.
Artificial intelligence (AI), is the machine capacity to perform equal or better than human. It has the objective to simulate its intelligence and to complement human reasoning to augment and enrich our ability to deal with complex challenges.
Where human could be limited in the resolution of specific questions, the machine is able to help. Through powerful algorithms, the machine has the capacity to treat the data following a specific business request.
One of the AI powerful techniques we use at WIZATA to handle your project is the Azure Machine Learning. The Machine learning gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. Machine learning explores the study and construction of algorithms that can learn from and make predictions on data. Microsoft Azure remains the best cloud, stable and flexible solution supporting open sources technologies millions of you already trust.
These are the latest and most powerful technologies we put at your disposal to make sure we answer your unsolved business problems and uncover unexploited opportunities.
Our expertise gives us an innovative vision of the possibilities offered by predictive analysis in your industry. We bring concrete answers to your business challenges. Our solutions and personalised services are based on a results-oriented approach and on measurable metrics. To achieve this mission, we offer a set of 5 services:
The art of giving data a voice
|Knowledge through connected objects
Starting with specific questions linked to your activity, our data scientists analyse and enrich past data, sometimes adding external data as well, then translate it into concrete insights relating to your business and to your customers. These insights give you an understanding of how different bits of information correlate, and allow us to propose predictive analysis solutions.
The 'Internet of Things (IoT), also known as internet of objects, is based on the idea of interconnecting objects and physical hardware, then connecting them to the internet. These connections allow for greatly increased communication, resulting in a vast amount of data that can then be analysed and transformed. For example, data collected by sensors in an elevator become an input for the implementation of a predictive maintenance system.
With the help of our partners, our services range from the analysis of information gathered by existing objects and systems to the deployment of a whole IoT project, from sensor design to data analysis.
A strategic partnership
|Predictive analysis that integrates with your systems
Making sense of its data is a critical success factor for any organisation. We propose a complete business strategy to manage and use information, regardless of your industry and of the issues you face. Our advisory activity is about acquiring data, exploiting it and transforming it into knowledge.
|Maximise the use you make of the information provided in real time by the predictive analysis. Whatever the technology, we apply predictive models to your data and connect the results to your business processes, all within existing systems such as ERP or CRM.
Sharing our expertise
We want you to independently benefit from our solutions, which means we offer knowledge transfer for all or part of our services, such as data visualisation or the exploitation of predictive models. Our experts are always available through a dedicated support service, ensuring the long term continuity and added value of our solutions.
To respect the confidentiality of the projects on which we are working, we are not able to share with you here all the details. To get some inspiration on what's possible for your own business, don't hesitate to contact us !
Our methodology, inspired by market standards, combines agility and pragmatism with a scientific method in order to guarantee successful innovation. Projects are managed through iterative phases, bringing fast results. At the beginning of each cycle, our teams define and analyze your business processes with you. A successful project starts with a clear definition of its objectives, allowing you to track the expected return on your investment. Our data scientists then carry out a research phase that allows them to understand and enrich your data in a way that will support theories. The selected solution is based on one or several machine learning model(s) and is trained and evaluated based on the data. Results are then analyzed against the theory, comparing it with the reality of the data, which gives you a prediction of the real return on your investment. Finally, a decision is made whether to deploy the solution or to go back to analysing business processes.

I have been contemplating writing for a while... not really worried if people read it or not anymore. I think I was in this 'must be read for self worth' rut. So, I kinda disappeared for a while.
I got lost in life... new marriage, new dog, new home, new car, newish job... a lot of new.
I started working from home full time and had to wrap my arms around not being around people as much, and being around my kitchen 24/7. When you do not have that water cooler outlet, an extra snack seems far more appealing.
I have had to get used to my husband. It seems odd to say, being that we have been together for almost 20 years. It is just different now that we are married. Mostly different because in my mind there are things husbands and wives are supposed to do... I have slowly adjusted and come the realization that life isn't really like that. I am cool with it now. My husband rocks.
I invited a longtime friend to move in with us. (No, it isn't some creepy sex thing). He just needed to get outta dodge, and I said come home. I don't regret it for a moment. I think it made me appreciate and love my husband all the more, because he totally supported it. My friend is in a totally new zone now: new job, new friends, and lives nearby.
I moved, which meant I switched fitness routines (new gym, new trainer)... I am still not happy with how it is now. I really loved what I was doing before. I feel a bit stuck in big-box gymville... But, it is what I can afford, and what I am making the best of.
I got a puppy. Annie is the sweetest, cutest, most manipulative cuddle junkie I have ever met. She makes all the other pet owners swoon at the dog park. She belongs in magazines. But, for now, she is my work at home co-worker, and friend. She cuddles me while I type. She tells me when I need a break and when to walk it off. I love her.
I also put on some weight.. I was great for the wedding (9-10-11), and then took a pause.. I decided to eat whatever as opposed to my restricted regimen. As a result, I am now 252lbs.... about 30 lbs up. This took a full year to gain, but it is still not o.k. I don't feel good. My joints hurt because my fitness level has really remained the same, except my joints are taking the pounding.. So, this is where this blog comes in. I need to get myself refocused and cut the shit.
I have a goal.. I have a wedding to attend on December 16. That is 7 weeks away. I would like to drop 15 lbs. I think if I keep to eating and moving, I have a good shot. I will write here when I am stressed or when I start to doubt. Here I go... again...

This isn't really OT because it's about Denard, but forgive me for sharing a story...I know these types of threads clutter the board.
Last night I was down for a visit at the Orange Bowl (talk about no defense) and I spent most of my time on the WVU sideline.
I noticed all night the guys were doing the Denard Robinson "we eating":
I asked Tavon Austin what they were doing (like I didn't already know) and he said "WE EATIN! You seen Denard Robinson at Michigan? They hungry, we're hungry too! WE EATIN!"
I've seen guys at Oregon, Oklahoma St. and a bunch of other schools doing the same thing this bowl season. I think it is pretty cool that Denard and the guys at Michigan started a college football trend as if they were pop stars. Every game I turn on I see someone mimicking Shoelace, Tay and the guys in Maize and Blue...has anyone else noticed?
...oh yea, and before I forget "COOL STORY BRO!"

Jennifer Garner: 'Butter' Premiere in Toronto!
Jennifer Garner looks picturesque in pink at the premiere of her film Butter held at the Roy Thomson Hall on Tuesday (September 13) in Toronto, Canada.
The 39-year-old pregnant actress spoke with USA Today about being back at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Jennifer Garner
"I was here for my husband [Ben Affleck] last year for The Town. I was here before that for The Invention of Lying…I have spent some serious time in Canada, for sure," Jen said.
"Find ways to be as comfortable as possible and just go with it. It's not an illness, being pregnant. I'm in the easiest part of it," she said of having a good time in Toronto.
FYI: Jennifer is wearing a Valentino dress, Casadei heels, and David Webb jewels.
10+ pictures inside of Jennifer Garner at the premiere of Butter in Toronto…
