When are tryouts?
Tryouts will follow the orientation meeting that will take place during the first week of school. They will last approximately two weeks for both the novice and the varsity crews. As September approaches, refer to the upcoming events for more detailed information.
What is the orientation meeting?
The orientation meeting is where you will be introduced to the club, and is held prior to the season start-up in September. The will take place during the first week of school. It is also your chance to introduce yourself to coaches and other rowers. It is important that you attend so we know you're interested and so you can get tryout information and the tryout schedule. If you are unable to attend the meeting, just let us know.
What are tryouts?
Tryouts take place during the first two weeks in September. If you have ever rowed competitively at any given level you must try out for VARSITY. If you have no rowing experience at all you are eligible for NOVICE tryouts. NOVICE tryouts involve a few days of skill work to introduce you to rowing and erging (a.k.a. the rowing machine). This is followed by tests aimed at measuring endurance, explosiveness, and overall body strength. Novice tryouts are designed to assess your general fitness. Rowing experience is absolutely not necessary. VARSITY tryouts emphasize both fitness and rowing ability. They consist of ergometer testing and seat racing.
What about summer / pre-season training?
For Varsity Crew, summer training is required, and rowing/competing with a summer rowing club is expected. If you're not rowing during the summer, let us know if you'd like the coaches' recommended summer training schedule. There will also be a more formal pre-season training camp for the varsity crew starting in late August. (See Upcoming Events for more details).
When are practices?
The novice crew practices Monday through Friday, 6 am to 8 am. The varsity crew has the same practice schedule with additional practices on Saturday mornings and in the afternoons. This schedule is designed so athletes can still attend 8:30 am lectures.
Where are practices?
Water practices for all crews are held at the Olympic Basin on Parc Jean Drapeau on Ile Notre-Dame. The Basin is a 2000 meter straight course, with a tank and erg facility on sight (click here for more information). The Basin can be reached by bike, metro, or car. By bike or metro, it takes about 20 minutes to get from campus to the basin; car is faster (click here for detailed directions).
Gym workouts take place in the club's erg room at the McGill Athletics Complex on Pine Avenue.
How many regattas can I expect to take part in if I am on the team?
The McGill University Rowing Club takes part in many regattas in the fall and a few in the spring. The novice rowers race about three times in the fall and once in the spring while the varsity rowers race about 5-6 times in the fall and 2-3 times in the spring.
I am worried about how well I perform at school. Is rowing better suited for students in easy programs?
The rowers on the McGill University Rowing Club major in every possible program: arts, sciences, management, engineering, law, and medicine. They also range from first year undergraduate to grad school students.
With all my time spent studying and training for the rowing team, will I still be able to have a social life?
The McGill University Rowing Club is a marvelous opportunity to meet people who share the same love for athletics and challenge as you. Training intensively with a crew creates strong bonds between the members and the end-of-season parties and banquets also bring their share of fun times and socialization.
Who is eligible for the rowing team?
Anyone who will be enrolled as a full-time student at McGill in the fall is eligible to be on the team. That means three or more courses must be completed during the semester.
What is the Olympic Basin?
The Olympic Rowing Basin on Ile Notre-Dame faces downtown Montreal and was originally built for the 1976 Olympic Games. The island where it is located, in the middle of the Saint Lawrence River, was specifically built for the 1967 World's Fair. It is now referred to as Parc Jean-Drapeau and is also home to Montreal's Casino, a magnificent municipal beach, and the Gilles-Villeneuve racetrack, home of the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix.
Since its construction, the basin has been the site of numerous international rowing events including the 1976 Olympic Summer Games, and the World Rowing Championships in 1975, 1984 and 1992. It has also been the home of the 28th FISA World Rowing Masters Regatta in 2001, the 2003 Canadian Open Masters Rowing Championships, and the site of the Rowing Canada Cup held annually since 1982.
The Olympic Rowing Basin is 2,180 meters long, 110 meters wide and 2,3 meters deep. It is equipped with an Albano system, which divides the basin into seven equal lanes, each 13.5 meters wide. The basin conforms to FISA standards for starting gate equipment and electronic timing equipment. Athletes are well served by storage areas, a change-room, and shower facilities next to the race course.
Directions to the Olympic Basin (Bassin Olympique)
By Metro
The Olympic Basin is located approximately 5 kilometers from downtown Montreal and is easily accessible via public transportation by using the Metro. Directions from downtown:
- get on the Green Line (where the McGill or Place des Arts metro stations are) in the direction of Honore Beaugrand
- get off at the Berri-UQAM metro station.
- follow the signs to the Yellow Line (direction Longueuil). If you're catching the first metro in the morning you need to RUN to make this connection.
- take the Yellow Line one stop to the Jean-Drapeau metro station. For more information on the Jean-Drapeau metro station and the schedule please click here, or download this map.
- turn left out of the station and then left again, following the path towards ile Notre-Dame
- once you have crossed the bridge onto ile Notre-Dame, turn left and follow the road along the river for about 200m
- turn right into the main parking lot and you'll see the rowing basin and hangers in front of you
- the McGill Crew boat hanger is #6
By bike
The Olympic Basin is located approximately 5 kilometers from downtown Montreal and is easily accessible by bike. Please wear a helmet and reflective clothing when riding to practice, and obey all the traffic rules – ride defensively and preferably in a group. Directions from the McGill University main gates:
- take Sherbrooke Street west to rue de la Montagne
- take rue de la Montagne all the way down to it's end
- turn right and cross the bridge over the Lachine Canal
- loop right to get to the bike path which goes under the bridge and turn right onto the path so that you're following the path eastward along the canal (the canal should be on your left as you're biking now)

Femtotechnology was three orders of magnitude smaller than picotechnology and six orders of magnitude smaller than nanotechnology. It was on the scale of sub-atomic particles. Manipulating matter at the sub-atomic level would revolutionize society in ways that picotechnology did not.
(Note: The background section of this page uses most of the same words as the picotechnology of Terra Futura to save time.)
Nanotechnology had revolutionized the 21st century. Working on a molecular level, nanotechnology could accomplish anything. By 2025, its first application was in medicine. By 2039, it was being used for full immersion virtual reality. By 2045, nanotechnology was used for general purpose computing. By 2048, nanotechnology was used for biostasis. By 2050, nanotechnology gave rise to claytronics. By 2070, it was allowing for nanofabricators. At the same time, nanotechnology revolutionized clothes. Over the course of the 21st century, nanotechnology became smaller and smaller. By the late 21st century, picotechnology was born.
Picotechnology was three orders of magnitude smaller than nanotechnology. With it, the structure of atoms could be altered by manipulating the energy states of electrons. This allowed for people to produce metastable states with highly unusual properties. This created new more exotic forms of atoms. This led to the creation of metastable rocket fuels for space travel. Another application was teleportation. It was now possible to teleport macro-scale objects as small as a grain of sand and retain their structure. Picotechnology also helped mind uploading enter the mainstream. At the same time, picotechnology was becoming smaller and smaller. Soon, femtotechnology would be born.
Tech Level: 13
At the sub-atomic level, the world was ever more weird. Engineering at this scale involved directly manipulating the finest known structures of matter, such as quarks and strings. This allowed people to manipulate the properties of atoms on the sub-atomic level. This proved useful for advances in macro-scale teleportation during the 22nd century when femtotechnology was invented. Stationary objects started being teleported. Of course, it was not until the 23rd century that humans would finally be teleported. Femtotechnology helped uncover new laws of physics which led to anti-gravity and force fields like the ones in Star Trek. In the world of materials, metals were being made that harder and stronger than carbon. These were capable of being used in probes that could go all the way into the center of the Earth or into the core of the sun without burning up. Femtotechnology was also instrumental in faster-than-light space travel coming into existence. More exotic materials such as wholly transparent metals, highly luminous metals, frictionless surfaces, and ultradense, but extremely lightweight structures were now possible. Femtotechnology was being guided with advanced AI as were many other areas of science. Eventually, this would lead to the matter replicator.

arm around my neck,
my head resting on his shoulder.
He sings a song
(that he had written himself)
of a numbing mind & a despiteful heart;
a soloman of running away,
but longing so much to stay.
And as he sings his wrenching lyrics,
I sink deeper into his arms...
melting into his song.
I could feel his numb, earpiercing words
They dig holes into my bones,
& the harmony pokes at my heart.
But when his song comes to an end,
I awake from the forbidden vision in his eyes,
although, I'm still numb---
& I cant feel a thing.
Nothing but my lightheaded cerebrum
leaning on his chest,
& his bony arm wrapped around my neck.

Augustus Woodward
Thomas Jefferson named Augustus Woodward (1772-1827) the first Chief Justice of the Michigan territory in 1805. Born in New York City, Woodward moved to Rockbridge County, Virginia by 1795 to teach and read law, and it was at this time that he met and befriended Thomas Jefferson.
Woodward later moved to Washington D.C. and copied the plans for the city from Pierre Charles L'Enfant. Woodward had an opportunity to use those plans when he went to Michigan, as Detroit was devastated by fire a few months before; the plans were ultimately rejected, however.
Inspired by the University of Virginia, he would help to establish the University of Michigan with its 1817 charter. In 1824, Woodward became a judge in the Florida territory.

So, my sister is getting married next week (yes, we just found this out!). They haven't registered due to short notice.
She doesn't cook, so not anything cookware/kitchen related. She can't drink alcohol, so not wine or champagne glasses, etc.
I'd like to get them something that will last and be sentimental, that can be passed down to the next generation. (So not sheets, towels)
Maybe a fancy bowl or something?
I'm kind of lost because it's all happening so fast.

"Great Performances" is celebrating a month of great women. During the month of July, this WNET series is reprising some of its finest programs of recent years which highlighted strong, determined, uncommon women.
From the very first reprise, "Mourning Becomes Electra, Part 1" (PBS, Wednesday, July 2, 8-10:30 p.m.) this Wednesday and Friday (Sunday in New York area) repeat series has selected a wide range of female-oriented shows starring great actresses playing the roles of great women. Most of the programs will be airing on local PBS-affiliated stations. check local listings to make certain of premiere and repeat dates.
Not to be missed, if you did not see it the first time around, is this critic's favorite TV drama of recent years: "Abide With Me" (Wednesday, July 16, 8-9:30 p m.) featuring octogenarian Cathleen Nesbitt in, perhaps, the peak performance of her illustrious career, as a cantankerous widow in her final days who develops a poignant and very special relationship with a teen-age girl servant.
Some local stations, such as WNET/NY, are airing even more women-oriented shows during July and into August. Check local listings as some of these WNET shows will also air nationally.
The "Month of the Women" schedule:
July 2: "Mournings Becomes Electra, Part 1" (8-10:30 p.m.) stars Joan Hackett and Roberta Maxwell in this O'Neill drama.
July 9: "Mourning Becomes Electra, Part 2" (8-10 p.m.).
July II: "The Human Voice" (10-11 p.m.) stars Liv Ullmann in Jean Cocteau's telephone monologue.
July 16: "Abide With Me" (8-9:30 p.m.) with Kathleen Nesbitt.
July 18: "A Month in the Country" (10-11 p.m.) is London's Royal Ballet in Sir Frederick Ashton's adaptation of Turgenev's classic play.
July 23, "Uncommon women and Others" (8-9:30 p.m.) stars Meryl Streep and Swoosie Kurtz in a look at American college women seven years after graduation.
July 25: "Out of Ours Fathers' House" (10-11 p.m.) is based on Eve Merriam's play about growing up female in America.
July 30: "Sarah" (8-9:30 p.m.) stars Zoe Caldwell as "the Divine Sarah" Bernhardt.
August, by the way, has notm been designated "Month of the Man." But, according to feminists, ordinarily everym month is. That's why July is being promoted as something special.
Is it quibbling to wonder why, if it so special, the tribute is made up of reruns?

Iraqi detained in connection with Dortmund bus blast `fought for IS´
A 26-year-old Iraqi detained following the attack on the Borussia Dortmund bus is suspected of membership of the Islamic State group, German officials say.
But so far there is no evidence that he was involved in the explosions that injured a player and a police officer. The hunt for the bomber is continuing.
Federal prosecutors said the Iraqi – identified only as Abdul Beset A in line with German privacy laws – allegedly joined IS in Iraq by late 2014 and led a unit of about 10 fighters involved in preparing kidnappings, extortions and killings.
Head coach Thomas Tuchel, right, and players of Borussia Dortmund stand outside their team bus after it was damaged in an explosion (Martin Meissner/AP)
He travelled to Turkey in March 2015 and remained in contact with members of IS after arriving in Germany in early 2016, prosecutors said.
However, "so far the investigation has turned up no evidence that the suspect participated in the attack", they said in a statement.
A judge will decide on Thursday on whether to keep A in investigative detention, as requested by prosecutors.
The man was arrested on Wednesday, a day after three explosions shattered a window of the Borussia Dortmund bus as it was heading from the team's hotel to the stadium for a Champions League match against AS Monaco.
Borussia Dortmund team bus in explosive attack
Investigators said three copies of a note claiming responsibility for the attack were found at the scene, but are puzzling over the style and contents of the letter.
The note contains phrases suggesting an Islamist motive, with calls for Germany to withdraw reconnaissance jets that are assisting the fight against the Islamic State group, and for the closure of the US Ramstein Air Base in Germany.
Experts say the letter's mix of correct, complicated German and obvious mistakes raises the possibility that it is a red herring intended to place blame on Islamic extremists.
Police say the metal-packed devices used in the attack were sophisticated and would have required detailed knowledge of explosives and detonators, suggesting possible military training.

A survivor of the Aurora, Colorado, theater shooting that killed 12 people in 2012 has died, and officials are trying to determine what caused her death.
Heather Snyder, 31, of Centennial, was found unresponsive Sunday evening, according to The Denver Post. There were no signs of foul play at the scene, but Snyder's autopsy was inconclusive as to her cause of death.
Arapahoe County Coroner's Office officials said toxicology results and a microscopic examination of tissues would take six to eight weeks, but could shine light on Snyder's death.
Snyder was one of 70 people injured July 20, 2012, at the Century Aurora 16 theater, where patrons were attending a midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises" when gunman James Holmes entered and opened fire. Her injuries resulted in the amputation of the index and middle fingers on one hand.
"She never totally recovered from it," her father, Rick Snyder, told the Post Monday. "She was reminded of it every day."
Snyder was among a group of 12 Red Robin restaurant employees celebrating a co-worker's 27th birthday the night of the shooting, the Post reported. That co-worker, Alex Sullivan, was among the moviegoers killed by the gunfire.
"Her friends died and more were injured, as was she," Rick Snyder wrote on a GoFundMe page established to help pay for his daughter's burial. "Her body healed and she quickly learned to live without two of her fingers.
"How many of us exchanged 'high threes' with her?"
Heather Snyder went on to have a daughter, Kennedy, in early 2015. The day before she died, she posted a photo of her bare feet, along with her daughter's, all of their toes boasting new purple nail polish.
"Salon morning with Kennedy Lynn Roxanne," she wrote.
The little girl will now be raised by her father.
"She'll have to celebrate her third birthday next month without her momma," the GoFundMe page reads.
Rick Snyder wrote on the fundraising page that donations beyond what it takes to bury Heather will go to Kennedy's father to help raise her.
Friends mourned Heather Snyder on social media.
"Heather Snyder, it is so hard to put together the words to explain just how much you meant to everyone," one woman wrote on Facebook. "You will truly be missed by myself and anyone who has ever crossed paths with you. Until we meet again."
"RIP sweet Heather Snyder," another person wrote. "You are missed. Your radiant smile and sweet personality will always be remembered."
Others talked about Snyder's strength through the horrors she had endured, including testifying at Holmes' 2015 murder trial. Snyder thanked her supporters a few days after her court appearance on a Facebook page, Helping Heather Heal, that was set up by her family after she was shot.
"I testified on Thursday and it was a game-changing experience," Snyder wrote. "It's almost over! Thanks again and I appreciate all of you!"
Holmes was ultimately sentenced to 12 consecutive life sentences, one for each person he killed, followed by another 3,318 years for those he injured that night, the Post reported at the time. He has no chance for parole.

two people that are crazy about each other but are too afraid to admit it. They've had some ups and downs but they know that if they really tried they would be a great couple. Maggie's an outgoing, fun, random girl who can't let go of him. Curtis is a boy who dates other girls because he wants maggie to be jelous. They might be afraid because they're good friends but they would do anything to be with each other. It's love, they just don't want to admit it.
that couple over there is such a maggie and curtis.

When I post here at Tattoosday, there is no definite chronological order. I tend to follow a variety of factors, which can often result in older encounters waiting in the wings for a very long time.
Take Lori, for example. At the beginning of May, while my wife was at Maimonides Hospital in Brooklyn, fighting a bout of appendicitis, I walked over to a pizzeria on 50th Street and Fort Hamilton Parkway for a quick bite for lunch. On my way out, I noticed two women at a table, one of whom, Lori, had some pretty nice ink. Generally, one of my unwritten rules is not to bother people while they are eating, so I handed the woman my card and asked her to contact me if she was interested in contributing to Tattoosday.
Lori e-mailed me shortly thereafter, and a few weeks later, she sent me some photos. Since then, she has been patiently waiting for the post. E-mailed submissions tend to get a little lost in the shuffle but, finally, thanks to a little nudge on our Facebook page, we're finally seeing them here on the site.
I'll let Lori explain what we're seeing:
"Here are 2 peonies, one is a flash stencil, done by Mike B. at Studio Enigma on Avenue U [in Brooklyn] .... the other peony (my favorite), was hand drawn by Pablo Barada, who is from Argentina [also at Studio Enigma] …
The Fairy mermaid was a picture I found just surfing the internet, so I printed it out. I wish I still had the black and white photo before Mike B. colored it in. Now that I look at it, I think the B&W was much prettier. By the way, she took 18 hours to do, six three-hour sittings."
Thanks to Lori for sharing some of her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!

The reason I believe is because when you look at standardize testing results for school age children you will see a pattern with respect to race. I am sure some of this is due to cultural differences as well as environmental factors. It is hard to pinpoint the exact reason for a difference in academic performance amongst different races but it is clearly there.
If you define "intelligence" as "general mental ability" and "race" as "historic regional populations", then one can say with certainty that there is a clear statistical association between "intelligence" and "race". To verify that this is the case, you can simply look at national and international data sets. The debated question is not "Is there a connection (i.E., a statistical association)?" but, rather, "What is the cause of this connection?" It seems probable, at this point, that the association between "race" and "intelligence", so defined, is mediated by both genetic and non-genetic factors. Evidence for genetic factors comes from studies showing, globally, a clear correlation between population differences in DNA and population differences in measures of intelligence e.G., Rodriguez-Arana, A. (2010). "Intelligence and the Wealth of Nations: Genetics Matter but there is Still Much Room to Reduce Inequalities preliminary." Another way to approach this issue is to look to see if, globally, there are patterns of differences in general mental ability by race within nations. This is clearly the case. East Asians, for example, tend to have above average general mental ability scores in virtually every country in which they inhabit. Still another method is to see if group differences in measures of intelligence, so defined, correlate with the genetic loadedness of a tests -- that is, if racial differences are larger on more genetically -- and less environmentally -- conditioned tests. This has been found to be the case. See, for example: Dragt, J. (2010). Causes of group differences studied with the method of correlated vectors: A psychometric meta-analysis of Spearman's hypothesis. These three lines of evidence (1) the correlation between global differences in measures of intelligence and genes, (2) the (relatively) consistent finding of intra-national differences in intelligence by regional ancestry, and (3) the finding that racial/ethnic differences are largest on the more genetically conditioned measures point to genetically mediated differences in mean general mental ability between individuals of differences regional ancestry. This conclusion, of course, might not hold if you define "intelligence" and "race" in a manner other than I have.
Name one thing Africans have invented without Googling it. You can't, huh? And how come African countries are always starving, while whites and Some Asians are not? These findings may hurt your bleeding hearts, but it is foolish to turn away facts because they make you think politically incorrect things.
We can place the "blame" for every racial difference but intelligence, on human evolution. Skin color, hair color, susceptibility to disease, athletic ability and many other differences are conclusively genetic. Why not different intelligences. Environmental, cultural and economic circumstances are nothing more than environmental conditions for evolution. I am white and my wife is Hispanic and we have no problem discussing this at length. If we are talking just on averages there are serious differences in races. Ashkenazi Jews are better at math and sub saharan Africans are stronger and faster. Get over it. This is not because their parents gave one kid a book and one kid a ball. Well maybe thousands of years ago.
From what I've been able to research and my personal experience, it seems intelligence is inheritable to a high degree, and different populations get different average scores in IQ tests, and show different levels of achievement in intellectual endeavors. One of course can't deny the environmental factor, but this is always accounted for in serious studies (they study adopted children, families with same education and income levels, groups of 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation immigrants, etc.)., which show that the differences in achievements and scores have to a considerable extent a genetic origin.
The relevance of this knowledge is that some people should stop pushing their racial fetishism to force egalitarian settings wherever they go. Irrespective of how one relate to each individual, groups have differences, and we must accept this reality.
Anyone denying the clear and age old observation that a five year old can plainly notice, is doing so out of a worldview agenda or emotional bias. They can't possibly, or refuse to conceive that people might have different traits extending beyond the physical and into the mental. Race doesn't fully determine a person, but it IS a general blueprint.
Even culture free testing shows correlation between IQ and race. Reasons vary - societal well being is an indicator of the populations' successful solving of various existential problems - it seems to me to be a product of good choices - intelligent decisions - higher mental functioning. There will be exceptions to this but in general I think this will hold true - that better cognitive function will be indicated in the society successfully functioning - the wellness factor - not one thing, many things.
I don't fully understand the controversy over race and intelligence, it is a fact that black people in developed countries have an average IQ about one standard deviation below white people, East Asians score higher than whites, while Ashkenazi Jews score highest in IQ tests. One can certainly argue that some of the racial IQ gaps are due to environmental factors, I would tend to agree. However, environmental factors simply do not explain the large gaps in racial IQ's.
For a good entry into the mountain of scientific evidence see the Jensen and Rushton review article -- endless citations of careful scientific studies with the same conclusion. The arguments against are weak and overtly or covertly political. The best solution is to speak and write honestly about it, but with appropriate concern for social policies in the interests of all.
It is ridiculous to continue arguing about this. There is only one set of arguments on the anti side, and those derive from a particular set of political stances that have sought to reengineer society from an idealist, mythological, anti-science standpoint. This 20th century Victorianism is ruining the lives of children of both intelligent and low-intelligence families by pretending there is some median to which everyone can be forced to breed or perform. The hatred of meritocracy and jealously of excellence informs the hatred of all research showing that various forms of intelligence are genetically determined/heritable and shaped by evolution. I find it funny that the same people who have no trouble saying that blacks are better at basketball will silence anyone who points out that Asians and whites are better at math and engineering.
It has nothing to do with race. Those who are bashing African people, know this: The Greeks, Romans, Persian, etc went to Kemet, Nubia,and Abyssinia to learn. Greek philosophy is African philosophy. Moreover, the Moors taught West Europeans math, science, and literature, and built monuments there. This alone negates your racism.
There is absolutely no relation between race and intelligence. I wholeheartedly disagree with those who say that those races that grow up in poor economic situations prove that there is; race is not a "condition". Race is inherent, and has nothing to do with someone's intelligence. In fact, I would argue that it takes more intelligence to persevere in those poor conditions than it does in our own.
I do not believe that there is a connection between race and intelligence. A person is not going to be smarter than everyone else just because of their race or skin color. However, I do believe there is a connection between the way one is raised and intelligence. Some cultures push education harder on the students than others do.
Ridiculous. Aside from the mostly racist attribution of cultural values such as intelligence to physical traits such as pigmentation or demographic differences, the statement itself makes too many assumptions about the nature of intelligence to be provable.
Human intelligence is not quantifiable. Intelligence is a mix of perception, wit, creativity and memory upon which cultural values such as intelligence quotient shed little light.
The question assumes that intelligence is a heritable trait and genetically based, for which there is little evidence. Many of the smartest people have stupid children and vice-versa. Look at how few great thinkers had children who were themselves great thinkers.
We can see that intelligence is relative to age and stimulus. Most great scientists or writers will affirm significant differences in their intellectual capacity over time, with highs and lows. Many geniuses were evaluated as mentally disabled in their youth. At what point in a life do we start assigning values? Is there any test that can assign a number to so many subjective variables? Think of all the cultural biases that go into any test: literacy, language differences, class and cultural assumptions. The question itself contains too many biases to be answered in the affirmative.
Your race doesn't have any effect in your intelligence, but your environment does. For example, an Asian child might be raised under a strict and disciplinary environment, making him academically gifted, as is what happens to most Asian kids. But, this can also happen in a white community where a white child is raised under strict environment. Each race has a different way of raising children, therefore their children have different levels of intelligence.
Race does not exist as a physical concept; there is not biological difference between an African person and an Asian. There is however a huge cultural difference between people from those races, in that some parts of the world are much less well of and often don't have access to basic education. The rampant corruption that plagues many states also be a factor in creating this:
CORROLATION, assuming that a correlation means that there is some sort of causation is a logical fallacy. After all the cockerel crowing precedes the sun rising. Therefore one may draw the conclusion that the cockerel crowing CAUSES the sun to rise. This is clearly false as is any attempt to link race to intelligence.
Intelligence is given in two ways the motivation to study and learn or raw talent which you can be born with your race will never have anything to do with your intelligence for as long as you live because it doesn't matter about where you come from and how you look it only matters about how you choose wok and in time gain the knowledge.
According to the Human Genome Project, there is no such thing as race in the biological, physiological sense of the word. Hence, the question becomes, what factors do affect the outcome of intelligence testing that "appear" to be related to so-called racial patterns? The answer can be found in cultural, geographical, and social factors that do have consistency among homo sapiens.
Destiny is what the individual makes it. Anyone that chooses not to understand this concept isn't very smart. Also, people clinging to the idea of "race" is also delusional,as race is a social construct. Last I checked, scientifically, there is only one race on earth. I imagine most commenting on this are Americans, mostly from the United States.
Human brains learn from experience the moment they are born. That means: Your environment shapes you. Race used to be used for a clue to your environment. But we now live in a world where races are blended. Therefore, race is now irrelevant and demographic region is a more important clue to intelligence.

Enhanced Box Score: Dodgers 8, Cubs 5 – May 26, 2010
Tom Gorzelanny came into the game with the best ERA in the Cubs' rotation by a healthy margin. Not so much anymore.
Also, anyone else noticing the shine starting to wear off of Starlin Castro? Still, the enhancement remains with Gorzelanny on this one.

Cisse broke a leg in the warm-up game with China - after missing most of the 2004-05 campaign with a similar injury.
French team-mate Thierry Henry said: "This is a really bad time for Djibril, for us and for his family. It was hard not to think about it during the game."
Govou, 26, also received a late call-up for France's Euro 2004 squad.
Back then he replaced the then injured Monaco playmaker Ludovic Giuly, who is now at Barcelona and who was surprisingly overlooked for the squad this time around.
Arsenal forward Henry has revealed that the squad hope to visit 24-year-old Cisse, who was rushed to hospital to undergo surgery on his right leg.
"I am sure he will bounce back again," stated Henry. "We will try to find the time to go ahead and see him."
Lyon midfielder Florent Malouda added: "It affected us a lot. It is bad it happened to him again - on the other leg.
"We must support him because he is going to be going through a difficult time."
Juventus defender Lilian Thuram insisted that France will be thinking of Cisse during the tournament in Germany.
He said: "Cisse will not be with us physically at the World Cup but he will be in our hearts."

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Summer excursions seem out of reach to many struggling young professionals, and the faltering economy isn't helping. But one New York City company, offering trips aimed at the young and thrifty, is capitalizing on the urbanite's desire to get away -- and finding success despite the downturn.
A group of Urban Escapes NYC hikers stops for a snack during an expedition in New York's Harriman State Park.
As a slightly broke young professional myself, with a taste for adventure but living in a very expensive city, the idea behind Urban Escapes NYC was intriguing. The company offers an array of activities -- from short hiking, sky diving or canoeing trips to international journeys that combine various activities.
On the company's user-friendly Web site, I scrolled through the offerings. There were trips ranging from one-day hiking or fruit-picking excursions priced at around $60 to $800 weeklong international expeditions. The average trip includes ground transportation, the cost of the activity, guide fees, equipment rental and meals.
Jumping out of planes put the company's founder and CEO, Maia Josebachvili, 25, on the path to becoming a business owner. While attending Dartmouth College, Josebachvili developed a passion for sky diving. To pay for the pricey dives, she began to lead trips for her friends and her friends' friends. Soon she realized that the people she was guiding were outside of her original social network, and an idea began to emerge.
After graduating from Dartmouth and working as a trader on the New York Stock Exchange, Josebachvili decided working in the concrete jungle was not for her. At 24, Josebachvili started a business out of something she had been doing for years during college -- leading outdoor adventure trips.
The company launched in early 2008, just months before the economy tanked. "I started to wonder if this is really going to work," Josebachvili said.
But with trips designed with budget and value in mind, the suffering economy did not stunt the business. Josebachvili said the company was able to break even within six months.
The business relies on social networking avenues for promotion, and word spread rapidly. It also quickly developed a reputation as a great way to meet people and make new friends.
"I was the market," Josebachvili explains, "My friends were the market. Anyone just out of college working on Wall Street didn't have the time to plan and research the trips. There is no shortage of those kinds of people in New York."
After perusing the site, I rather nervously picked a $59 six-mile hike. This may not sound so cheap, but after factoring in the planning of the trip, transportation, gas, experienced guides and a post-hike discount at a local restaurant, the value becomes apparent. I hadn't been hiking in years and still am sadly out of shape. My imagination ran wild with images of young, sporty folks racing up high peaks as I huffed and puffed behind. Terrifying.
After a rainy start to the morning, our upbeat guides for the day, director Bram Levy and guide Roget Lerner, drove a group of 12 north of the city to Harriman State Park. They encouraged us to get to know each other and joked that we would be quizzed on it later.
Waiting to get into the van, I asked a man standing next to me why he was on the trip. "I moved from San Francisco a year ago," public relations professional Michael Lindenberger said. "I need some trees."
After an hourlong drive, we arrived at our hiking destination. Levy and Lerner checked our sneakers, water supply and told us a bit about how the day was going to unfold. And then we began the hike.
Throughout the day, there was lots of laughing, squealing and helping each other over rocks and through slick patches of mud. I was surprised how quickly a team mentally developed among the group. We were all strangers, but after a day of hiking, I knew everyone's name, profession and a good deal more. And this was no accident -- the guides were deliberately networking and bonding us together.
Jen Badali, a city transit planner, was on her third trip with Urban Escapes. "I went by myself my first hike," she said. "It was fun to get away and do something different." She said she still keeps in touch with people she met on the other excursions. "I made some good friends out of it," she said.
At the end of the day, sweaty, sore and smiling, I realized why Urban Escapes NYC was defying the recession. With a plethora of affordable outdoor excursions, cheerful guides and a youthful mindset, the company was the ideal destination for an urban professional with a slim wallet.

- Overview
ROHAN: Blood Feud is a free online RPG MMO that originally launched back in 2008. Since then ROHAN: Blood Feud has enjoyed a number of large, content-based updates and expansions, and is now hosted and playable countries all over the globe.
ROHAN: Blood Feud features 7 races locked in war, Human, Elf, Half Elf, Dekan, Dhan, Dark Elf and Giant. Each race has their own starting location and quest progression route, with their territory protected by vast borders and patrolling dragons. Each race has access to 2 different classes, ranging from melee DPS to tanks and healers. Each class offers players a different approach to combat, using a large variety of skills and abilities.
PvP plays a large role in day to day life in ROHAN: Blood Feud, and some of the mechanics involved are nothing short of genius. Firstly there's the Township Battles, these are epic battles between 2 rival guilds. Guilds are able to attack any town within ROHAN: Blood Feud, waging civil war against the guild that currently has control. If a guild occupies a town, they gain a number of benefits and cannot be attacked for a week. The benefits include various treasure and gold bonuses as well as being able to tax all transactions within that town, earning the guild a large amount of in-game currency. This system creates a large amount of fast-paced PvP battles and generates furious rivalries between guilds, making it one of the most exciting PvP aspects in ROHAN: Blood Feud.
Another great feature to the PvP in ROHAN: Blood Feud is the Revenge system. PvP veterans will all be aware of what it feels like to be caught unawares, with a less than skilled player getting a few hits in while you're harvesting nodes or AFK (away from keyboard), revenge allows you to remedy that. Whenever you're defeated in battle the other player is added to an in-game hit-list, this hit-list stores the names of every character that has ever killed you. As soon as you respawn, you're able to teleport back to that player for a chance at revenge.

Above: Bukhara's Chef Manjit Gill
When it became apparent that I was attending the media lunch at Bukhara's London pop up last week, I received a whirlwind of wistful sighs from foodies on Twitter. "The dal! The dal!" they hollered. I could picture their eyes rolling into the back of their heads, giddy with epicurean nostalgia for the 35-year-old New Delhi landmark tandoor restaurant.
I admit, it was a bit lost on me. The only time I've been in New Delhi we were backpacking, and I was running around the old city grazing local streetfood, rolling the dice with Delhi Belly (we evaded snake eyes, somehow).
So it was quite the treat to get a glimpse into this edible hallmark of Indian high society dining via its temporary London satellite.
On the 1st floor banquet room balcony of London's Sheraton Tower in swanky Knightsbridge, Bukhara's pop up's creative director Waris Ahluwalia set up a tented garden-bar, complete with a budding jasmine bush.
The far corner of the tent had a cosy low-seating lounge, its appropriate use demonstrated by my lovely lunch companions Selina of Yummy Choo (left) and Sabrina of Sabrina's Kitchen.
After the champagnes were sipped, we were ushered inside and told that the meal would be served in the traditional way -- family style and without utensils.
For those game enough to eat with our hands, we were given giant apron / bibs with a plaid pattern reminiscent of Indian-uncle sarongs. Thanks for modeling the bib Sabrina!
First up: a traditional starter of papadums with (from top, clockwise) thinly sliced raw onion, raita (yoghurt with diced onion, tomato and cucumber) and mint chutney. A small detail, but raita yoghurts are usually quite thin and drippy. I quite enjoyed Bukhara's thick yoghurt raita, which sticks more easily to the papadum.
And then the tandoor treats began. I know it all looks a bit beige below, but these were quite possibly the most succulent tandoori prawns and chicken kebabs I'd ever tasted. Chicken is usually fairly tasteless and overcooked to death in most restaurants, but here the goujons were juicy and very deeply flavoured (a multi-day marinade that involves yoghurt and lemon juice I'm guessing.)
It made such an impression that I leaned over to the veteran print food journalist seated next to me and said, "It doesn't look like much, but make sure you try the chicken." She thanked me later, and asked our waiter for seconds!
On the right, fall-apart lamb leg, and potato hash pockets. Nice enough, but eclipsed by the chicken and prawns, really.
The veggie dishes: Paneer (Indian cheese) and roasted stuffed green peppers. Again, paneer in less able hands tends to end up having the personality of styrofoam. These cubes were big, bold, bitey and springy.
Somehow in the process of trying to get a few good pictures I missed out on actually securing myself a stuffed pepper. Snooze I lose I guess!
And now, the unlikely marquee-name dish for a tandoor restaurant. Dal Bukhara - black lentils, tomatoes, ginger and garlic slowcooked for 18 hours.
That dollop of butter right at the end might have something to do with the dal's gorgeous velvety-ness...
What a dilemma! Does one eat it straight up like a soup? (Yes.) Or slather all over Bukhara's array of freshly made naans? (Yes.)
Luckily we were given the option to have seconds. AND a supermarket-style ready-meal pack to take home with us.
A Mumbai-native dining companion told me that whenever she goes home to India, she comes back with cartons upon cartons of these Bukhara dal packets. I am now considering making a call to friends in New Delhi...
A dessert duo: Gulab jamun below, and a rose-fragranced broken rice pudding above. I tend to struggle with the over-sweetness of Indian desserts. So I had a taste of each before settling down to a cup of hot mint tea.
There was some debate after lunch about whether one would pay the retail pop up rate of £59 for the vegetarian meal or £79 for the meat and seafood meal if left to our own devices. No doubt, even though there was no fancy plating, the attention to quality of ingredients and detail of technique for this meal was subtly but in clearly a different league from your usual curry night out. Ultimately I wouldn't, though that's mostly because we're currently living on a full-time startup budget.
But as the Bukhara pop-up's sold-out status suggests, there are plenty of people who will. Some of them are probably the same punters who are happy to shell out £250 to have The French Laundry's Thomas Keller or £195 for noma's Rene Redzepi fly into town (Noooooo I'm not shriveling up with envy...)
Many others are proof that edible nostalgia is a hot commodity in this city.
Bukhara's London pop up at runs until 1 June. Online bookings are sold out, but...
Tip 1: I've been told it's worth calling +44 20 8045 0715 and following @buhkaralondon to check for updates on released 2nd seatings.
Tip 2: Check also about slots for Chef Manjit's not-widely publicised cooking class.
Tip 3: For those of your with gardens and tandoori fantasies (if you read this blog there is a fair chance you do) check on eBay post 1 June -- Bukhara is apparently going to auction off the 3 tandoors they procured just for the popup.

In the few weeks since Pro Basketball Prospectus 2012-13 (and the results of the SCHOENE Projection System) were released to the world, I've hammered home the difference between projections and predictions quite a bit, but I'm going to do so again because I think it's an important distinction.
The other day on TrueHoop, Kevin Arnovitz discussed the popularity of the Denver Nuggets in a back-and-forth with Beckley Mason.
Aside from the stylistic appeal, where does this collective love for Denver come from? Is it a sincere belief the Nuggets have the necessary tools to mount a guerrilla war in the West and take down the likes of the Thunder or the Lakers or just a desire to see a verdict rendered once and for all that Carmelo Anthony is a bad guy?
I also wonder if the post-Melo Nuggets haven't become a symbol for those who were repelled by the Anthony saga two years ago. In the era of the superteam, romantics want the Nuggets to prove that a team of non-superstars can compete for an NBA title through sheer effort, athleticism and creativity. A lot of basketball junkies want to live in a world where the 2004 Pistons aren't a historical outlier and Anthony is the fool. The Nuggets represent their best hope.
Now, I don't think Kevin was specifically referencing the optimistic statistical projections for the Nuggets (ours and John Hollinger's), but having the two points so close together reinforces the danger in conflating "the numbers" and our opinions based on them. I'd hate to have anyone think that the reason SCHOENE puts Denver atop the West has anything to do with liking the idea of an elite starless team.
As Kevin has pointed out via Nate Silver's new book The Signal and the Noise, the numbers never speak for themselves. And it would be disingenuous for me to argue that SCHOENE or any other projection system is completely objective. There are subjective assessments of how basketball works inherently built into the system. At the same time, the projection for the Nuggets–or any other team–has nothing to do with what I think of their players, the team or the narrative. The projections are individually compiled in an unbiased manner, and I do think it's important for readers to trust that what they see from SCHOENE is strictly where the numbers lead, and if that occasionally leads to some LOLs it's a small price to pay.
Naturally, this reflects the ongoing discussion about Silver's more important projections for what's going to happen next Tuesday. It's perfectly fair to criticize his method, if you understand it. But simply demeaning Silver (who, it's worth noting, hired the Basketball Prospectus staff in his old baseball life) because he's an admitted liberal who happens to have the Democratic candidate more likely to win is silly and demeaning to his work. And I happen to think that's easier to explain when the numbers and the opinions are explicitly kept separate.

His charge is to boost the WPP Group agency's reliance upon data-driven marketing tools and strategies, while standardizing them across the globe.
Although Wunderman already relies heavily on data for marketing strategies, "if you don't keep working on that and promoting that and training and rewarding and recognizing that area, it's not going to keep growing," said the 42-year-old Mr. MacLean. He was elevated last month to the new post of exec VP-database marketing solutions at Young & Rubicam's Wunderman, from president-CEO of the agency's strategic-analytics arm, Kestnbaum Consulting.
Growing data reliance will come through centralization, not by building data practices in every office. "We made a conscious decision not to open Kestnbaum or [Wunderman's database specialist] KnowledgeBase Marketing around the world," said Mr. MacLean, in order to leave "the heavy-lifting support" to Kestnbaum's Chicago headquarters and KBM's Houston and Dallas offices.
While Mr. MacLean does not expect marketers or agency staffers to be data experts, he hopes to facilitate knowledge sharing, resource management and standardization of data tools across the Wunderman network. He wants to "get out the gospel and the vision" to all agency employees-from account planners to new-business executives-that data can play a role in marketing strategies and account wins. "We want to be able to identify where it makes sense to use data," Mr. MacLean said. "The challenge is making data relevant; it's not data for the sake of data."
need to segment
Marketers' increasing supply of data makes using it effectively even more critical. "The data become more and more important because more data will be available going forward," said Troy Mastin, an analyst at William Blair & Co. "The need to segment will become greater because we're a much more complicated society," he said. "Not only do you have this complexity on who we are but also this complexity on how we get reached."
Marketers' need to reach multinational customers adds to that complexity.
"I see more and more businesses asking for a global view of their customer assets," said Wunderman Chairman-CEO Daniel Morel. "When you are dealing with Ford Motor Co. and IBM Corp., you cannot have a country or region doing data on their side the way they want," he said. Providing a global solution requires "one person sitting on top of it aligning all the processes and tools."

I am 19 and i dont know if im pregnant or not. I thought i got my period but now idk if thats what it is. its super light. And what im wondering about is im getting a discharge. doesnt smell bad or anything but its clearly there, i have never noticed that when im on my period, maybe i wasnt looking. but i am worried, is it too soon to tak a prego test cause my period was supposed to come on the 19th but i started on the 13th and its been super light on top of being early. does anyone think then can help? ~Whitney
answers (1)
You can take a test now but if you are pregnant you may not be far enough along to get a positive result. I would wait until the time when you expected your period before taking a test.All kinds of things can affect your cycle, having an early or "weird" period now and then isn't uncommon or anything to worry about.

Birmingham City striker Marlon King was arrested on his 33rd birthday after a Porsche was involved in a serious road smash which left one man in hospital.
Nottinghamshire police said King was questioned on suspicion of dangerous driving after a three-car crash in Winthorpe on Friday.
Road smash: Birmingham striker Marlon King was arrested on Friday
A Porsche, a Volkswagen Polo and a Vauxhall Astra were involved in the crash at 2:50pm.
The driver of the Polo, 35, was air-lifted to Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre with serious injuries, while others suffered minor injures.
The former Middlesbrough, Coventry and Watford striker was later released on police bail.
King had recently got his career back on track after he was jailed for 18 months in October 2009 for groping a woman in a nightclub and breaking her nose after she spurned his 'disgusting' advances.
King was last month ruled out for the season after being forced to undergo knee surgery.

NASPA Excellence Award Winner
Campus Answers and Tarrant County College (TCC) recently earned the NASPA Excellence Award for Violence Education and Prevention, Crisis Management, and Campus Security. NASPA's bronze Excellence Award was given for Student Empower™: Non-Residential a custom online training course developed collaboratively by Tarrant County College and Campus Answers.
Student Empower™ is the most comprehensive, up-to-date sexual violence awareness and prevention program for students. The award-winning curriculum strikes the right balance between driving cultural change and mitigating compliance risk. It covers both sexual violence and alcohol and drug abuse prevention.
Student Empower delivers an ongoing learning system with core content, supplemental topics and several shorter, burst learning modules. This program is designed to help prepare college students for issues they may confront at college. It covers important topics such as students' rights and responsibilities; preventing sexual violence, dating violence, stalking, harassment and bullying; navigating partying, drugs and alcohol; acting as allies for others in need; affirmative consent; and bystander intervention techniques.
When the federal Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) mandates were introduced and schools were called upon to act in the fight against sexual violence, TCC immediately responded. The College brought knowledge of its institution and student needs and collaborated with experts at Campus Answers to create an online training course that fit TCC and exceeded the legal requirements.
Dr. Richard Coronado, Ph.D., Associate Vice Chancellor for Human Resources at Tarrant County College, realized early the importance of securing a partner with expertise in the law with the ability to help develop an implementation plan was needed.
"As the Title IX Coordinator for Tarrant County College, it is my responsibility to promote awareness and enforcement of Title IX and the Violence Against Women Act on campus. In the past year, the legal updates, guidance, and Dear Colleague letters that we have received have been helpful, but it still had been challenging to stay abreast of the law and maintain the most up-to-date training program for our students," said Dr. Coronado. "This is where Student Empower™ has been a valuable resource. Joining forces with Campus Answers has allowed us to create a compliant, robust program that meets our particular needs for our campuses. More importantly, it holds the potential to make them safer places, by eliminating sexual violence."
Student Empower™: Non-Residential employs evidence-based instructional design to maximize student learning and influence real behavioral changes. TCC tested two focus groups, one self-reported and one empirical, with a pre-test and post-test administered electronically. Both focus groups showed significant improvement in awareness of the issues, knowledge about how to respond and impact on behavior.
"We are passionate about making a difference through compelling, interactive training that really engages learners," said Sondra Solovay, J.D., Director of Product for Campus Answers. "Our story-based learning gives learners practice applying concepts and our innovative use of social media empowers them to discuss the issues in their own words. We had a great time collaborating on this project with the talented professionals at TCC because they really understand their students."
Because there are different legal requirements for different audiences, this multi-course training solution allowed TCC to tailor the message and training to each audience.
"As a non-residential school with a diverse population with returning students and others are straight from high school, we struggled to find an approach that spoke to our whole community." said Dr. Coronado. "With the help of Campus Answers, Student Empower™: Non-Residential is the training program that we have developed to meet these laws and change campus culture."
The NASPA Excellence award entries are evaluated by NASPA members and judges based on rigorous criteria, including: impact on student learning and success, relevance to institutional mission, success in addressing student needs or responding to critical campus concerns, and use of innovative and creative methods.

Prayers for the Dead
A Decker/Lazarus NovelPaperback - 2012
The brutal murder of Dr. Azor Sparks in an alley behind a restaurant is greeted with public outrage and a demand for swift, sure justice. But the investigation into the well-known surgeon's death is raising too many questions and providing too few answers for homicide detective Lieutenant Peter Decker.
Why, for example, would the family of a man so beloved respond to his slaying with more surprise than grief? And what linked a celebrated doctor with strict fundamentalist beliefs to a gang of outlaw bikers? But the most unsettling connection of all is the one that ties the tormented Sparks family to Peter Decker's own--and the secrets shared by a renegade Catholic priest . . . and Decker's wife, Rina Lazarus.
