Me too - noticed that DVB-T2 stick a while back.I have the same issue with changing the front-end, I'm particularly loathed to part with my mediaMVP's using VOMP with my headless server. This forms a good multi-user, functional, low power, low cost, reliable solution... who could want anything more ...until HD came along.
There is an ongoing effort to re-purpose an HD streamer of some flavour for VOMP HD, but its not there yet. The drive now seems to be for a generic Android solution which sounds like a great idea.

I've been using vdr for about 8 years now but only for SD stuff. I'm about to order a new hard disk (for a different machine) and was very tempted to add a nanoStick T2 290e to the order!I'd be really interested to hear how youget on with the nanostick (the only info on it I can really find is at http://stevekerrison.com/290e/index.html: just had a quick look and he's updated it since I last looked! toried of reprogramming a broken nanostick and baking it in the oven!).Is the driver now mainstream and, essentially, fully working? It looks like it should do. Sod it: just added one to my order! ;-)I've been using xmltv for a while to grab epg data from the Radio Times xml streams. I'm sure they have dta for HD channels too. It also means you get 2 weeks' worth of data and lenghtier write-ups of films, etc.What output device are you using for HD? I'm currently using softdevice (which I'm still hacking to get stable with current vdr versions) with a Matrox card for output using DirectFB. I'm just starting to investigate whether it's possible to use VDPAU to do the meaty decoding and then sent the decoded frames to DirectFB (i.e. no need for X to be running). I _think_ this is possible to do: svn avidemux can use VDPAU to offload decoding, apparently.If that's not doable, I guess I'll build a new Ion-based box and use xine for output. The problem then is that you don't tend to get many PCI slots for DVB cards (well, not with the small Atom boards). Maybe I could just keep the current vdr box (2.66 MHz P4) and stick an Nvidia graphics card in it. Decisions decisions...Cheers, Laz

United Technologies' Pratt and Whitney military engines unit is working on the final two years of design work on the Pentagon's Adaptive Engine Technology Development (AETD) programme, according to the company official who oversees the company's sixth-generation engine work.
AETD "goes through 2016, so there is still a lot of work to be done," Jimmy Kenyon, Pratt and Whitney's next-generation fighter engine general manager, told IHS Jane's on 20 May. "This year is going to be a lot of work on design."
By 2016, the company will be ready for "a couple of big tests". Kenyon said those technology demonstrators are likely to take place at a US Air Force (USAF) facility.

Oakland police compliance director named
OAKLAND POLICE Judge appoints Baltimore consultant, a former adviser to Oakland cops, to oversee reforms
A federal judge on Monday named a consultant who has criticized the Oakland Police Department over its handling of Occupy protests as its "compliance director," the person responsible for driving home court-ordered police reforms.
Thomas Frazier, who runs the Frazier Group of Baltimore, will begin work next week in the new position, which pays $270,000 a year, U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson said in an order late Monday. Frazier, who will move to Oakland, was not a candidate recommended by either city officials or civil rights lawyers involved in the case that led to creation of the position.
In a joint statement, Mayor Jean Quan, City Administrator Deanna Santana and Chief Howard Jordan said they were looking forward to working with Frazier.
"We believe we can work well in collaboration with Mr. Frazier to accelerate our efforts to reach full compliance with the outstanding reform tasks," the statement said. "Everyone involved in this case is working toward the same goals: enhanced, constitutional policing and strengthened relationships between our police and our communities."
As an agent of the court - and not a city employee or contractor - Frazier will oversee the department's efforts to bring the department into compliance with a consent decree ordered after four officers who called themselves the Riders were accused in 2000 of systematically beating and framing suspects.
The officers faced two criminal trials but were never convicted. But a lawsuit filed by more than 100 of their alleged victims resulted in a $10.9 million civil judgment against the city in 2003, as well as reforms ordered by Henderson.
Avoiding receivership
Frazier's appointment was the result of an agreement between the city and civil rights lawyers that allowed the department to avoid being placed under unprecedented federal control through a receivership. He will consult with city officials and outside experts before preparing plans and timetables to reduce the unjustified use of force, racial profiling, high-speed chases and complaints of police misconduct, and improve the investigation of citizen complaints.
Frazier will negotiate with the city on the Police Department budget but will have the power to spend up to $250,000 on any project without city approval. He will also have the authority to demote or fire Jordan as well as deputy and assistant chiefs, decisions that the city could appeal to Henderson. A federal receiver would have had additional authority over spending and police personnel. He will start Monday and no end date was given for the position.
Frazier, a former Baltimore police commissioner and a 28-year veteran of the San Jose Police Department, was the federal monitor of consent decrees involving the Los Angeles and Detroit police departments. Frazier had previously also served as a "special adviser" to the Oakland police, helping Jordan deal with the consent decree.
Broad support
John Burris, an attorney representing the civil plaintiffs, said Monday that Frazier has had a "running start" because of his previous work in Oakland.
"We have someone who is deeply knowledgeable and of professional stature," Burris said. "That was important to us. It's clear he does not have a pro-police mentality, and his awareness of Oakland, its Police Department and its issues, helps reduce the learning curve."
Councilman Larry Reid said the judge's selection was an important step toward steering the department away from federal receivership.
"I'm for anyone who can help bring us into compliance," Reid said. "It that person is fair and can bring us out of this receivership, then I support them, and am all for it 100 percent."
He will be paid by the court, said Henderson, who ordered the city to deposit $270,000 into the court's registry no later than March 25. Before tapping Frazier to the post, the judge had asked the city for the salary figures of Jordan and Santana, saying he believed there was "good cause for the compliance director to be paid more than the chief of police but less than the city administrator."
In a court filing Monday, city officials said Jordan is paid $257,973 and that Santana receives $282,000.
In September, Frazier issued a report that excoriated the Oakland police for its handling of Occupy Oakland protests, saying the department was understaffed and insufficiently prepared in fall 2011 to confront demonstrators who tried to reoccupy the City Hall camp that officers had previously cleared.
The Frazier Group, which consults on police issues, said at the time that it had already begun working with the city to improve its police tactics.
"We're glad that we have a compliance director in place who can guide us toward getting into compliance with the negotiated settlement agreement and also fighting rising crime in Oakland," said Barry Donelan, president of the Oakland Police Officers Association. "I look forward to Commissioner Frazier taking office." Frazier will have to adhere to Oakland's union contract in dealing with police officers and will meet with Donelan every three months to discuss the perspective of rank-and-file officers.

Insurance produts with A.G. Edwards?
2 RepliesJump to last post
It is my understanding that AGE has several companies that they go through for their insurance products. I am just curious to know if they have a good choice of products and are they competitive with other firms ins. products?
Thanks and I look forward to your replies.
All of the big firms have multiple options in regards to life insurance and variable annuity companies. That, and most of these companies are extremeely competitive now from a pricing and benfit standpoint. Also, most firms have certain due diligience requirements these insurance firms must meet before being allowed on to the platform. So to answer your question, I am sure that AG has the same companies to offer as everyone else… That is one way our business has become commoditized- everybody is selling the same stuff…

Oakwood P.S. History
Oakwood has Roots that Reach!
Oakwood Public School was built in 1952 as a Kindergarten to Grade 8 school with fourteen classrooms. It served the needs of the growing population in the Forrester subdivision, known to Oakville residents as Forrester's Bush on the west bank of the Sixteen Mile Creek. Grade 7 and 8 students from other schools came to Oakwood for Shop and Home Economics in the late sixties.
Population growth made it necessary to build on East Wing of seven classrooms in 1954. In 1969, two classrooms were combined to form our present day library. in 1983 Oakwood became a Junior School, serving students from Kindergarten to Grade 5. A new creative playground was built in 2008 thanks to the efforts of parents, community members, staff and students.
Today, Oakwood has a student population of approximately 225 students.
After attending Grade 6 Oakwood, students will continue on to W.H. Morden School for Grades 7 and 8 and then to T.A. Blakelock High School.
Presently, Oakwood School continues to be a small cosmopolitan school whose size and diversity offers a uniquely caring and individual approach to providing quality experiences for children, academically, as well as socially.

Educators, presenters, students and demonstrators all over the world have realized and praised the difference that interactive whiteboards bring in a classroom. These smart interactive screens have succeeded in making classrooms a platform of entertainment where students love to partake in various fun activities while learning some crucial concepts of education.
Many of you must be wondering over the facts like how does interactive screen work. What are its uses? Do we need to undergo some special technical training to use them? And the list never ends. To put smile on the faces of the puzzled readers, I would like to say that interactive whiteboard is one of the most user-friendly equipment today. You do not need to take any special technical knowledge to run them as only few general instructions can prepare you to work on it efficiently. Continue reading

God Told Me So: How the Shield of Liberty Became a Sword
Co-facilitated by Rev. Nate Walker and Ed Greenlee
Three Saturdays: February 1, 8, & 15
10:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Shared Ministry Suite
In this three-part series, participants will explore the intersection of religious rites and the civil and human rights of children, women, and homosexuals. In the first session, participants will explore how religious rites have been used to cause substantial harm to children and consider questions like these: Will the state stop me if God tells me to put my children to work, to deny them medical treatment, to justify child marriages, to tattoo their bodies, or to permanently alter their genitials? In the second session, similar questions will be explored on the subject of women: Can teachers in religious private schools be fired for being pregnant and unmarried or for having admitted to having an abortion? Can a for-profit corporation refuse to pay for an employee's contraception coverage in objection to subsidizing what it believes to be a sin? What are the legal ramifications of religious divorce or marital rape? In the final session, participants will explore how a similar conflict is playing out with the question of gay rights: Why were sodomy, military service, and civil marriage illegal for homosexuals and what civil and religious laws were used to overturn them? If religious laws have been used to trump civil rights, can they be used to advance them? In this last session, participants will explore how the diverse religious debates over gay rights are currently shaping the question of employment discrimination in the United States and other issues such as capital punishment abroad. Together, these case studies about children, women, and homosexuals will set the stage for the primary question: how did the shield of religious liberty become a sword?
A Balancing Meditation
Facilitated by Reverend Jody Whelden
Two Mondays: February 10 & 17
6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Third Floor
In this meditation class, you will learn a body/heart/soul practice which can be used any time of the day. You can use it in the busy grocery line or in the sanctuary of your quiet time at home. In this two evening class, we will explore our need to breathe in and out with both our lungs and our consciousness. This meditation practice includes awareness of how our mind uses visual/kinesthetic/auditory images for centering and how our body/spirit work in unison. We will learn the practice one week, apply and practice it in between, then return the next week to practice together, ask questions, and integrate our learnings. Any participant is welcome to be in touch for clarification or guidance between classes and for the month following the class. This meditation form does not preclude other meditation practices you may do.

Facilitated by Ranwa Hammamy
Every other Wednesday: February 19, March 5, March 19, April 2, & April 16
6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
Third Floor
The oneness of God and the divinity of all. Religious pluralism and the truth inherent in multiple traditions. Reason and science as necessary elements of faith. The constant search for and revelation of meaning. Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. Sounds like a pretty good way to explain some of the essentials of Unitarian Universalist theology, right? Some of it comes straight out of our principles! But these phrases are not just about Unitarian Universalism, they also describe central ideas in Islam. They represent just some of the intersecting pieces within these two traditions. Curious to learn more about these and other overlapping theological ideas that create "Uuslim?" This course will explore scriptural excerpts, theological analyses, and iconic writings in both Unitarian Universalism and Islam, and place them in dialogue with one another. No book purchases will be required as any readings will be distributed electronically or in paper printouts.
Lightening Darkness: Coping with Life Through Religion & Spirituality
Facilitated by Lisa Schilansky
Tuesdays in March: March 4, 11, 18, & 25
6:30 PM to 8:00 PM
Everyone experiences stress, and almost everyone finds their lives impacted by this force. Significant scholarship has been completed to demonstrate the beneficial impact that religion and spirituality can have on one's stress level and outlook on life. In this four week class, we will look to reshape our outlook on life, to learn how to take a pause when everything seems overwhelming, to understand practices shaped by various religions from around the world, and to acquire means of self-grounding through progressive muscle relaxation and guided imagery. In an extension of her Summer 2013 sermon, Lisa will explore the themes that negatively impact everyone's lives and the internal and external spiritual practices that can eradicate one's pain.
The Global Struggle for Religious Freedom
Facilitated by Rev. Nate Walker.
Four Mondays: April 7, 14, 21, & 28
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Shared Ministry Suite
Participants will explore how the international community has come to affirm and promote religious freedom as a fundamental human right. This course is based on the research Reverend Nate will present at the United Nations Human Rights Commission in Geneva in March 2014. The course is designed to explore issues and opportunities for religious freedom around the world. Topics include blasphemy, defamation, apostasy, religious profiling, religious violence, religious places, and tensions related to private devotion in public places. Special attention will be given to legal questions about child marriages and religious rites that result in permanent alterations to children's bodies, such as alterations of genitalia, footbinding, and tattooing. Other cases will focus on religion and women as well as protections afforded to those practicing in native religions, new religions, and minority religions. Participants will leave having been exposed to a human rights framework for examining the question of religious freedom and to dozens of contemporary case studies about the unfortunate tension between religious rites and human rights.
The following are one-time adult religious education events. All but the Freedom Seder are free.

Adams' gripping drama draws us into an intensely personal battle to understand the vivid imagination and tortured soul of one extraordinary ten year-old boy. Runs through February 9, 2014.

Vignettes from the Criminal Justice System in Philadelphia

The event is co-sponsored by the Social Justice Ministry Team and the Young Adults.
Focus: The Hidden Ingredient in Excellence
Leadership Retreat
Monday, February 3
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Shared Ministry Suite
Please join Reverend Nate in exploring the work of Daniel Goleman, who explains why leaders need to cultivate a triad of awareness—an inward focus, a focus on others, and an outward focus. "Inner" focus refers to self-awareness and self-management: how well we can tune in to our guiding values, know our strengths and limits, handle our distressing emotions so they don't interfere with getting things done, marshal our positive emotions to stay motivated in working toward our goals, and bounce back from setbacks. "Other" focus describes how well we attune to people, our empathy, which allows us to understand how people perceive things, how they feel, and what we can do to help them be at their best. Tuning in to others this way provides the basis for competencies like motivating employees, persuasion and influence, negotiation and conflict resolution, and—increasingly important—teamwork and collaboration. "Outer" focus has to do with how well we can sense the large forces that shape our world—whether organizational dynamics, such as whose opinion matters most for a decision, or economic forces, such as how a new technology will roil a market, or environmental trends, such as the new value placed on lower-carbon processes. Outer awareness allows a leader to formulate a winning strategy that anticipates what's coming.
Wilderness Journey:
The Struggle for Black Empowerment and Racial Justice within the Unitarian Universalist Association, 1967-1970
Friday, February 28

Two shocks jolted the Unitarian Universalist Association soon after its formation. Both were related to the struggle for racial justice, but while one unified the denomination, sustaining its self-image of being on the right side of the struggle, the other shattered this easy assumption and inflicted wounds that still have not healed. First, in 1965, came the murder of the Rev. James Reeb, a Unitarian Universalist minister, while he was in Selma, Alabama, demonstrating for black civil rights. Second, only four years later, many black delegates and their white supporters walked out of the General Assembly in Boston to protest what they considered a racist vote. What had seemed so obvious after Selma—that in the fight for racial justice it was "us" (the good guys) vs. "them" (the racists)—suddenly wasn't so obvious after all. The line between "us" and "them" no longer seemed so clear. Why? What had happened? Thirty years later, we're still struggling with these and related questions. Ron Cordes filmed these interviews of many Unitarian Universalist leaders who lived through those complex times and created this essential historical record, a film called Wilderness Journey. Film showing sponsored by the Multicultural Ministry Team with discussion facilitated by Reverend Nate.
Theater Discussion Group: Don Juan Comes Back from Iraq
Play: Friday, March 21, 8:00 PM - Wilma Theater, 265 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia
Discussion: Thursday, April 3, 7:30 PM - Shared Ministry Suite
The Theater Discussion Group invites you to attend Don Juan Comes Back from Iraq with Reverend Nate on Friday, March 22 at the Wilma Theater. The group will then meet to discuss the play on Thursday, April 3, and Rev. Nate will reference the play in his sermon on Sunday, April 6. If you cannot attend the play on the date Rev. Nate is going, you are still welcome to attend the Discussion Group if you see the play at another time before it meets.
Don Juan Comes Back from Iraq is written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Paula Vogel (How I Learned to Drive) and directed by Wilma's Artistic Director Blanka Zizka. This World Premiere production plays with time and space. It is a tale of one soldier's return home from war and discovery that his lover is missing. Searching for her, he embarks on a surrealistic tour through the streets and history of Philadelphia. This collaborative project is inspired by Don Juan Returns from the War (written in 1936 by Bertolt Brecht's younger contemporary Ödön von Horváth) and is grounded in the experiences of recent veterans who often return from Iraq or Afghanistan to a home where most of the population has little direct connection with war.

Freedom Seder
Friday, April 18 (RSVP by April 1)
Parish Room
Max of 40 participants
$30, or $50 for a family of three or more
Aware that we derive from traditions that were born of violence, slavery, and persecution, and aware that we derive from legends that promote retribution through violence, we gather on this holy day to reflect upon the meaning of true freedom. We seek to understand the meaning of true freedom by reflecting upon patterns of enslavement and violence in our lives and in our way of thinking. We embody the essence of true freedom by intentionally decorating the Passover table with items that promote and affirm wholeness. We do so by telling stories of our own liberation from enslavement and express our hopes for a world community with equality and liberty for all.
Ongoing Groups
The following groups meet throughout the church year. All are offered free of cost.
Meditation Group
10:15 to 10:45 AM
Breathing in, we breathe in peace. Breathing out, we breathe out love. Center yourself before the main service by gathering in the Chapel Sunday mornings.
Women's Reading Group
First Mondays of every month
The Women's Reading Group meets monthly in members' homes. Books are chosen by participants in the group. Book titles and meeting places are listed in the Beacon, the E-Beacon, and the worship announcement sheet. For information on the next book and meeting place, please call program contact Ginny Beier at 215-545-7831.

NORWICH The Chenango County Republican Committee endorsed all five of the areas state representatives up for re-election Thursday.
At a committee meeting Thursday night in the Howard Johnsons ballroom in Norwich, Republican Chairman Tom Morrone said the county is very fortunate to have Senators James Seward (R-Oneonta) and Tom Libous, Assemblymen Clifford Crouch (R-Guilford), Gary Finch (R-Auburn) and Pete Lopez (R-Schoharie) representing us.
Our team has done a great job for Chenango County, Morrone said, after the endorsements were passed unanimously.
The chairman said the committee is the first in the state to announce its candidates.
Crouch was the only one Thursday to officially announce he would be seeking re-election. The other four incumbents are expected to make the same announcement later this spring.

I have been politically active since the rise of the tea party, and I have had my disagreements with Sen. Lindsey Graham on some votes. Of course, I have had disagreements with everyone from time to time.
But because of my ties to the tea party, many have asked me why I am supporting Sen. Graham and why I agreed to become a county captain for his campaign. The answer is simple: I believe Sen. Graham is the best man for the job and deserves my vote.
Sen. Graham represents my views: I believe in a limited government, but also an effective government. Sen. Graham fights to get things done, whether they are popular or not. All problems will be addressed one way or another over time. It is better to have someone on our side working to address those problems than it is to ignore them. Ignoring them gave us Obamacare. We can't afford someone other than Lindsey Graham as our U.S. senator.

Citigroup has completed an "extensive upgrade" of its electronic trading infrastructure and now says it is providing institutional clients with continuous, 24-hour access to global markets.
The new infrastructure removes various limitations in different markets that affect the sending, managing and execution of next-day orders for stocks that are either algorithmically driven or involved direct access to markets by clients, Citigroup said.
These features are designed, it said, to deal with "a complex set of systemic barriers to execute in non-local markets."
The new, globally integrated platform provides "efficient overnight queuing and the ability to acknowledge, modify and cancel self-directed trades 24 hours a day, seven days a week,'' the financial services firm said.
The infrastructure runs on messages using Financial Information Exchange formats.
"With this upgrade, Citi can offer clients unique opportunities to efficiently manage orders across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas," said Dan Keegan, Co-Head of Citi Global Electronic Markets. "We are dedicated to helping our customers trade, whenever, wherever and however they want across global equity markets."
Citigroup, which has approximately 200 million customer accounts, operates in more than 160 countries.
The company in March launched an electronic equity trading product suite for Brazil, Mexico and Canada, expanding its reach in the Americas and increasing its global trading footprint to more than 35 countries.

I really want to get a tablet and I am looking at either the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" OR the Samsung Galaxy 8.9 when it arrives... Now, my question is: I want a tab mainly for the following: E-reader Satnav Web and email Twitter, FB etc... Boredom stopper - games... Will the Tab 7" be good enough for my needs or should I spend more and get the 8.9?? I don't think I would utilize the specs of the 8.9 as I used to have a HTC Desire HD and never used half of the functionality, so sold that, and got a ZTE Blade which I love. So, I want your experts opinions...should I just get the 7" or do you think I would benefit from waiting for the 8.9.... Choices...Choices....

Summer Research Offers Opportunities, Mentorship
SHREVEPORT, La.—For many college students, summer is a time for relaxation, working a summer job, hanging out at the pool or beach, or just lounging around.
But for Marco Rajo, a neuroscience major here, it meant sometimes arriving at the lab at 3 o'clock in the morning to obtain samples for an experiment he is conducting on the sleep/wake cycle. Andy Osborn, another neuroscience major, was looking to find new techniques to make certain bonds in chemicals, especially in pharmaceuticals, that are faster, less expensive, and more environmentally friendly. And Matt Blanchard, a chemistry and physics major, spent his summer working alongside his mentor trying to figure the best conditions for carbon nanotubes to grow in and how to optimize their growth.
"This has been a great experience," said Osborn, a junior from Ponchatoula, La. "I wouldn't have had this opportunity at a larger school. You can do undergrad research at other schools, but it would be less hands on. Here, I have been able to work close with my mentor, something that wouldn't happen at a larger institution."
If you don't have Flash (or if you like bigger photos), try the larger format slideshow.
Osborn was among 19 students participating in the summer research program. The program allows students to join with faculty members in powerful learning experiences through research. Students have the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge to a specific project, while faculty benefit from the assistance of capable, motivated students.
According to Dr. Troy Messina, assistant professor of physics, the summer research projects actually help professors learn more about their students and give them real-world research experience. Just as in research outside of a school setting, he said, there are many obstacles to overcome and work through.
"One of the big things they learn is that science doesn't come in three-hour blocks," said Messina. "Many of these students are conducting PhD level research in their sophomore and junior year and have to deal with obstacles that they would face in a research setting. The students are getting the chance to see what really happens in research; you just don't go in and it works and you go home...you have to troubleshoot, adapt and try to figure out how to make something happen."
Professors also have to act as mentors, Messina said. "As a mentor, I have to remember where they are in their academic career and remind myself as a mentor I have to put myself in their shoes and help them in their learning process. They are learning things that even I don't know, so we are learning from each other."
Assistant professor of chemistry, Dr. Mary Robert Garrett agrees with Messina and is amazed at how far her students have come during the short 10-week research project.
"I have been very impressed at how quickly they are solving problems on their own," she said. "I am impressed with their drive even though things may not have worked out as we thought. They are learning to think through problems, and not only experience true lab techniques, but experience a higher level of thinking that you develop as a graduate student."
You can also view this playlist directly on YouTube.
Among the many projects researched include:
- Matt Blanchard worked alongside Dr. Thomas Ticich, professor of chemistry, in finding news ways to grow carbon nanotubes in a simpler fashion. Nanotubes are 1/50,000 the size of a human hair follicle, and useful in many applications in nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and possibly the treatment of some forms of cancer.
- Bradlee Robertson worked on programming Artificial Intelligence with Dr. Mark Goadrich, assistant professor of computational mathematics, for a controller for a rescue robot. Eventually, the robot could be used to assist in disaster relief rescue operations.
- Julia Cornelius, a biophysics major from Weatherford, Texas, plans to attend medical school after graduation. Working with Dr. Juan Rodriguez, Chair of the Physics Department, her research focused on how to detect the presence of Nitric Oxide in biological samples. Nitric Oxide is an important signaling molecule in biological samples and has been found to be important in signaling muscle relaxation, especially in the heart. The research has pharmaceutical implications in that some day a drug could be developed using this research that could help those with heart disease.
The goal of this summer's research, according to Garrett, is for the student to acquire more experience, especially since some are still undecided about what they what to do after graduation. "I can't think of a better way to figure it out then doing research like this."
Students involved in this summer's research program included:
- Jessica Miller, junior, Biology major
- Rebecca McMahen, junior, biochemistry major
- Danielle Crouthers, senior, chemistry major
- Donald Julien, sophomore, biochemistry major
- Ashley Rawson, junior, chemistry major
- Cara Miccoli, junior, biochemistry major
- Deana Apple, senior, neuroscience major
- Marco Rajo, junior, chemistry major
- Marco Reyes, sophomore, physics major
- Jessica Garza, senior, biophysics major
- Bradlee Robertson, junior
- Nolan Baker, sophomore, math and physics major
- Jordan Day, junior
- Andy Osborn, junior
- Tuan Tran, junior, biology major
- Julia Cornelius, senior, biophysics major
- George Tiller, senior, biology major
- Matt Blanchard, sophomore

One tip for buying a natural gas truck is to select a vehicle that has a sufficient operating range. Vehicles powered by natural gas typically travel less distance in between fuel stops than conventional gasoline powered trucks. Another tip is to learn more about any state or federal incentives that may reduce the cost of purchasing a new vehicle.Continue Reading
One limitation of natural gas is the relative scarcity of fueling stations. A helpful tip when purchasing a natural gas powered truck is to ensure that there are enough local and regional fueling stations to make operating the vehicle viable. Because vehicles that run on natural gas tend to be more expensive than conventional trucks, another tip for purchasing a new vehicle is to ensure the purchase price does not exceed available finances.
Natural gas is similar to many other types of alternative fuels in that it has several benefits and drawbacks. Natural gas powered vehicles produce fewer emissions while enjoying a level of fuel economy and performance comparable to gasoline powered trucks. The energy costs of natural gas is about half that of gasoline, and since there are many sources of domestic natural gas is production, natural gas vehicles serve to lessen reliance on foreign oil suppliers.Learn more about Buying & Selling

MONTREAL – Quebec's corruption inquiry is hearing that there were warning signs for over a decade that Montreal was significantly over-paying for public construction projects.
An investigator who analyzed internal city reports says officials did little to stem the tide.
The analysis is being presented today as the corruption inquiry gets set to hear from a number of former top city officials this week about the higher cost of infrastructure projects.
An inquiry investigator has testified that between 1997 and 2010, there were multiple reports that project costs soared in Montreal, with no mechanisms in place to stop collusion.
One 2009 report revealed that sewer and water pipe projects cost 85.5 per cent more in Montreal, compared to the rest of the province.
Inquiry investigator Guy Desrosiers, an accountant by trade, testified that numerous studies over the years triggered alarm bells — about the concentration of companies winning contracts, and about cost overruns.
Among the elements Desrosiers has keyed in on is the lack of competition. A 2006 report noted that the City of Montreal received generally five or six bids for certain jobs, while a significantly smaller city — Quebec — would typically have a dozen.
Problems in the management and awarding of public contracts in Montreal were highlighted in a 1997 report by the city auditor.
But Desrosiers says nothing happened following the reports.

E. Freeman, Leland Orser, Brad Dourif Languages: English. Box office: $160.7–161.4 million Budget: 70 million USD Synopsis: Ripley died fighting the perfect predator. 200 years and eight horrific deadly experiments later, she will make a comeback! A group of experimental scientists have cloned her! Along with her, the alien queen inside her, hoping to breed the ultimate most deadly weapon. But the resurrected Ripley is full of surprises for her "creators", as are the aliens. And very soon, a lot more than "all hell" will break loose. Back To The Future 2 Release Date: 26/12/2005 Director: Robert Zemeckis Starring: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Thomas F. WIlson, Elijah Wood Initial release: November 22, 1989 (USA) Box office: 332 million USD Budget: 40 million USD Synopsis: A visit by Marty and the crazy scientis Doc to the year 2015 will seem to try and fix a couple of problems with the future McFly family. When they will try to go back to their home, a fact that they discover, is that someone has tampered with time and Hill Valley, 1985! Now Marty and Doc should once again to get back to 1955, and save save the future… The Cell Release Date: 12/03/2001 Director: Tarsem Singh Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D' Onofrio, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jake Weber, Dylan Baker Languages: English.Initial release: August 17, 2000 (USA) Director: Tarsem Singh Screenplay: Mark Protosevich Synopsis: An intensely visual and surreal quest into the depths of a serial killer's psychology, The Cell on of the best sci fi movie, is a riveting science fiction thriller that will shock the hell out of you, with the horrors of one man's frayed mind. Iron Man Release date: May 2, 2008 (USA) Director: Jon Favreau Featured song: Driving With the Top Down Box office: 585.2 million USD Budget: 140 million USD Only few years ago we had no idea that it is possible to bring sci-fi comics such as the Iron Man into the cinema not s just cartoon but as the real film. Jon Favreau managed to make dreams of countless teenagers come true and brought their favorite hero alive in the stunning free sci-fi movie. Robert Downey Jr. playing billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is captured by terrorists who want him to create some weapon of mass destruction. However instead he uses his skills to construct absolutely unique high-tech suite that he uses to fight his captivators. After that he continues his battle against evildoers in the role of superhero wearing metal suit. We definitely recommend to dd it to your personal selection of good sci-fi movies. Matrix Initial release: March 31, 1999 (USA) Directors: Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski Featured song: Main Title / Trinity Infinity Budget: 63 million USD Screenplay: Lana Wachowski, Lilly Wachowski Everyone knows that the Matrix by Andy and Larry Wachowski is a cornerstone for sci-fi movies genre. It is easy to say that this film turned that genre upside down because it is the true actually. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss were a perfect cast for film and we loved they straight from beginning. The plot about machine-controlled humans used as merely batteries and who live in the unreal world created only in the mind was shocking and exciting so no wonder that many new sci-fi movies copy it in some way. Many people watched this masterpiece dozens of times so it is good idea to have it in your home collection of good sci-fi movies as well Inception Release date: July 30, 2010 (USA) Director: Christopher Nolan Featured song: Non, je ne regrette rien Box office: 825.5 million USD Awards: Academy Award for Best Cinema As you my already notice Leonardo DiCaprio never agrees to play in bad movies so each new film starring that actor is worth some attention at least. Inception is not just good, it is the real pearl among sci-fi movies of recent years that were mostly concentrated around CGI effects and not around the plot. We should really appreciate efforts of Christopher Nolan as director of that film since he managed to make it both breathtaking and intelligent in the same time. The plot is very original and unpredictable – it is about sneaking in dreams of other people and cheating them so they reveal all their secrets. Leonardo leads the tem of illegal professionals who do it on a regular basis and once he gets a pretty unique offer to consider. Don't even think about missing Inception if you re fan of good sci-fi movies! Transformers Release date: 2007–present Budget: $972 million Box office: $4.4 billion Characters: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream Cast: Megan Fox, Mark Wahlberg, Shia LaBeouf, Peter Cullen We all remember both comics and cartoons about transformers and without any doubts we always wanted to see these huge robots on the big screen. However before it wouldn't be possible to create realistic models and make this film so good. Luckily director haven't concentrated all his efforts only on visuals and made sure that both cast (represented by Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox) and the plot are good enough. Old conflict between the Autobots and the Deceptacons is finally exposed in sci-fi movie and we can see it in all the glory. Now you have the opportunity to download good sci-fi movies straight from our site and watch it anytime you want Tron Legacy Initial release: November 30, 2010 (Tokyo) Director: Joseph Kosinski Featured song: Derezzed Film series: Tron Series Box office: 400.1 million USD After the triumph of several good sci-fi movies filled with amazing CGI effects we could expect that one of the first films that used real computer effects would be brought back as a sequel. Surprisingly this time it is not just a mere demonstration of amazing computer graphics but stylish and smart film that deserves a noticeable place among good sci-fi movies. The director Joseph Kosinski invited awesome actors Jeff Bridges Garrett Hedlund who managed make new Tron as good as it is. If you want to follow the min character – Sam Flynn into computerized realm and co-experience his incredible adventures right now you should simply download that movie from our archive

Gaby Sanchez, Mike Lamb hone their catching skills just in case
Gaby Sanchez and Mike Lamb caught bullpen sessions Tuesday just in case.
Catcher Ronny Paulino has been bothered by a tight quadriceps muscle. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Paulino could pinch hit – although he cannot run too well – and catch, but he would rather not use him.
Sanchez caught in 24 minor league games, as recently as 2007. Lamb appeared in three major league games as a catcher in 2002. During their bullpen, Sanchez caught Ricky Nolasco and Lamb caught Anibal Sanchez.
"He had to work harder than I did," Lamb said. "He caught curveballs and sliders. I only caught fastballs."
Gonzalez said the first option to catch would be Sanchez.
"Good for him," Lamb said. "I'm okay with that."
Clay Hensley's homecoming
Reliever Clay Hensley looked forward to this trip more than any other this season. The reason: Hensley was able to see his son, Quinn, for the first time since Quinn was born on Feb. 28.
Hensley, who is from the Houston suburb of Pearland, flew to San Diego to be with his wife, Danielle, when Quinn was born. He left two days later and had not seen them since.
On Sunday, they met him at his parents' home.
"Seeing him smile at me, man, unbelievable," Hensley said.
