England tour of South Africa
Robson to lead new-look England

Harlequins lock George Robson will captain England in their clash with the SA Barbarians in Kimberley on Wednesday.
The 26-year-old second row will lead a completely different line-up to that which was beaten 22-17 by South Africa in their first Test clash in Durban on Saturday as coach Stuart Lancaster opts to rotate his options ahead of their rematch with the Springboks in Johannesburg this weekend.
Robson will be joined at the GWK Stadium by team-mate Danny Care with the scrum-half set for his first appearance in an England shirt since last August having seen his Rugby World Cup hopes dashed by injury before he was dropped ahead of the Six Nations due to a series of off-field incidents.
Flanker James Haskell is also given a chance to impress ahead of the Test outing at Ellis Park on Saturday in what will be his first England outing since the World Cup. Winger David Strettle, who missed the first Test with a calf injury, is also back in the mix.
Prop Paul Doran Jones, who came off the bench in the 22-17 loss at Kings Park on Saturday, will start at tight-head. Tom Palmer and Lee Dickson, who also had replacements' roles at the weekend, will again be on the bench.
Prop Alex Corbisiero, whose return after a biceps operation has been delayed by a jarred knee, is not included in Wednesday's team and he and winger Ugo Monye remain the only players not to feature so far on tour.
"Every one of the 22 is desperate to play," said Lancaster. "They have trained superbly and their attitude while waiting for their chance has been first class. There is a lot of competition for places across the board and Wednesday gives these players a chance to lay down a marker and for the whole squad to build some momentum towards Saturday's Test.
"George (Robson) has had a tremendous season for Harlequins, has made a great contribution to this tour already, both in training and as part of the leadership group, and I know he will captain the team well. Only Ugo Monye and Alex Corbisiero will not have had any game time by the end of Wednesday but there will still be three matches to go and their opportunity will come."
Lancaster also revealed that while his side for Saturday is almost decided there is stil a chance for one or two players to force their way into contention. "We are close to being final for Saturday but there are definitely one or two players we are looking at with a view to potentially coming in, although more likely on the bench than starting," he said.
"For me it is about building a squad. There is nothing better as a coach than working with players on the training field or judging them and working with them at games, seeing their reaction at full-time or half-time and playing in different environments."
There is no place for London Irish centre Jonathan Joseph in the line-up following his eye-catching cameo for the Test side last weekend, leading to speculation he will feature again this weekend but Lancaster refused to confirm his plans.
"There are quite a few players who were involved in last Saturday's game who are going to be involved in this Saturday's game," he said. "He is definitely one of those who did well when he came on. It was only a small appearance but he did well in the Barbarians game [last month] and he is definitely in the mix for Saturday."
Lancaster added: "I am trying to look at options for England at outside centre. Anthony [Allen] has played there before. The thinking is Anthony will start there and then move inside with George Lowe coming on. Jordan Turner-Hall deserves a start at inside centre, he has had a good season. It is about trying to create opportunities rather than pigeon-holing people into positions this early on."
The SA Barbarians have made one change to their line-up for the match after replacement lock Ben Venter was injured with Border team-mate Samora Fihlani stepping into the void.
England: Alex Goode (Saracens); David Strettle (Saracens), Anthony Allen (Leicester Tigers), Jordan Turner-Hall (Harlequins), Christian Wade (London Wasps); Charlie Hodgson (Saracens), Danny Care (Harlequins); Matt Mullan (Worcester Warriors), Joe Gray (Harlequins), Paul Doran Jones (Northampton Saints), Graham Kitchener (Leicester Tigers), George Robson (capt, Harlequins), James Haskell (Otago Highlanders), Carl Fearns (Bath Rugby), Thomas Waldrom (Leicester Tigers)
Replacements: Tom Youngs (Leicester Tigers), Rupert Harden (Gloucester Rugby), Tom Palmer (Stade Francais), Jamie Gibson (London Irish), Lee Dickson (Northampton Saints), George Lowe (Harlequins), Nick Abendanon (Bath Rugby)
SA Barbarians: Jacquin Jansen (Boland); Cornal Hendricks (Boland), Kempie Rautenbach (SWD), Wayne Stevens (EP Kings, capt), Norman Nelson (EP Kings); Elgar Watts (Boland), Boela Abrahams (EP Kings); Corne Fourie (Pumas), Hannes Franklin (EP Kings), Ross Geldenhuys (Boland), Nolan Clark (Boland), David Bulbring (EP Kings), Mpho Mbiyozo (EP Kings), Shaun Raubenheimer (SWD), Jacques Engelbrecht (EP Kings)
Replacements: Clemen Lewis (Boland), Dean Hopp (SWD), Samora Fihlani (Border), Zandre Jordaan (Boland), Ntando Kebe (Border), Ricardo Croy (Boland), Ntabeni Dukisa (Border).

The mission of the Florida Department of Public Health is to protect, promote & improve the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county, & community efforts. Florida's public health and related agencies take on three main roles:
1) Health Protection - Environmental conditions, some occurring naturally and others manmade, have an effect upon the well-being of Florida's inhabitants. These effects are often of such magnitude and complexity that only government can mount an adequate response. Contamination of the air, ground, water, and food may cause disease or death. Public health tries to prevent or contain such contamination.
2) Health Promotion and Disease Prevention - Prevention is the key to success in public health. Health promotion and education programs are designed to inform individuals about positive ways in which they can preserve or restore their own health-smoking cessation, moderation in alcohol consumption, proper diet and exercise, wearing seat belts,, etc. Disease intervention programs work to stop the transmission of diseases from a carrier to others by immunizing people against certain diseases, treating new cases as they occur and isolating carriers if necessary, and finding and testing people who have been in contact with an infected patient to administer the proper treatment before the disease becomes contagious.
3) Health Treatment - Health care of the sick and disabled is a role that public health undertakes when individuals are too poor or otherwise lack access to health care services.
The Department publishes various information describing particular programs and services.

This morning, (May 21, 2008) when I left the house, oil on the world market was $127 a barrel. When I returned seven hours later, it was $134 a barrel.
Today, for the first time in history, regular unleaded gas reached $4.00 a gallon in our little village. (Ok, Ok, it is only $3.99.9) Keep in mind that $4 a gallon reflects the price of oil at $120 a barrel so $4 gas will look like a bargain in a few weeks.
I have a new granddaughter in Spokane. I am going to have to take out a bank loan to buy gas for the road trip I have planned for the last nine months to see her.
But what worries me more than the price of gas is what this national morass we are in says about our nation. What kind of short sighted planning have our leaders done (or not done) that we could be in this situation?
Each day we Americans consume 21 million barrels of oil. Sixteen million of those barrels are imported from around the world. At $134 a barrel, we send $2,144,000,000 (that's BILLIONS folks) of our national treasure out of the country EVERY single day. And it is going to get a lot worse.
A few facts: America has more coal than any country in the world and the technology to make gasoline from it.
America has far more oil in its vast oil shale deposits in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming than the Middle East has oil.
America has between 1,000 and 2,500 years of natural gas (at current consumption rates) which is the cleanest burning carbon fuel on the planet.
America has the uranium and the technology to provide all the electricity needs of the nation with virtually no detrimental effects on the environment. Solar, wind and geothermal technologies have made quantum leaps forward in the last decade.
And yet we are held hostage by dictators and despots, some of whom hate us and have openly avowed to destroy our way of life.
Can you imagine what will happen to the price of oil if just a small shooting war were to erupt in the Middle East?
Or what would happen if terrorists damaged or destroyed the single port which ships 10,000,000 barrels of oil a day out of Saudi Arabia?
Or if the dictators in Venezuala or Iran just decided to stop selling oil to "The Great Satan".
Any one of these possibilities, (and a dozen more which could be cited) could result in $10 per gallon gasoline and $13 dollar diesel almost overnight.
Do you remember when America decided on a crash program (called the Manhattan Project) to find the secrets of the atom? We beat Hitler to "the bomb" and won the war.
Do you remember when President Eisenhower announced the massive Interstate Highway System, which was the largest public works project in history and we built it?
Do you remember when President Kennedy said we would place a man on the moon before the decade of the 1960's was over, and we did?
These days we can't even find the will to control our southern border. We have not built a new oil refinery or a nuclear power plant in this country for 30 years.
We have billions of barrels of oil in ANWR and off our coasts, but we are more worried about polar bears and spotted owls than we are about shipping our national treasure to our enemies.
Using one-third the corn crop to make ethenol instead of food makes me crazy. It's scary. What happened to the America that used to be able to do anything?
The difference between now and then is leadership. Instead of doing what is best for America, Democrats and Republicans sit in the halls of Congress and fight each other.
It is easier to blame the oil companies, the environmentalists, the greedy Arabs, and each other, than it is to make a plan.
With big tax incentives, cutting the bureaucratic red tape, and offering a billion dollar prize to whoever can come up with a car that gets 100 miles per gallon, it would surprise those basically worthless politicians in Washington what the working folks in America could do.
Heck, lets offer a two billion dollar prize. That's what we send overseas for oil every single day!
It isn't like the power structure hasn't known this day was coming for decades. I think it is time to throw the "bums" (politicians) out and start over.
If this nation decided on a "Manhattan Project" for energy we have the resources to be a net exporter of energy instead of spending billions every day.
Have you ever thought about where a lot of that money we spend abroad on oil goes? T. Boone Pickens said last week that as things are, "we are financing both sides of the war on terror."
We have wasted 30 years doing basically nothing since the long gas lines of the l970's. If you think there was pain at the pump then, just stay tuned.
Unless something is done, and fast, our love affair with the automobile, and much of our way of life is going to be a thing of the past, or at least postponed until we get our act together.
In the meantime, I guess I better trek on down to the bank and take out a loan so I can afford to drive to Washington. If I can get the banker to loan me an extra $2,000, I will fill my 500-gallon ranch tank with gas at $4 per.
Think how good that investment will look like on July 4th when gas is $6 something a gallon. Life could be better.

With Valentine's Day sneaking up on us all like a lecherous drunken expat at Carnegies' Ladies Night, the following classy parties offer the chance for couples to cut loose and get loved up and desperate singletons to find someone special to get down with.
Kaohsiung has found the love with Mark Stewart's Frisky promotions hosting Marcus Aurelius, Nina and Lexicon performing at Valentine's Break Up IV.
The Valentine's Break Up parties have been going strong for the past three years now and are "a great way to let loose after a few tough weeks of work, have a great night with that special someone ... and win lots of prizes including a NT$10,000 designer bracelet," said Stewart.
Valentine's Break Up IV at The Roof Park, 15F, 165 Linsen 1st Rd, Kaohsiung City (高雄市林森一路165號15). Tomorrow from 10pm until 5am. NT$400 plus two drinks. Arrive before midnight to receive three raffle tickets.
Miss Represent plays liquid funk drum 'n' bass at VU Live House tonight, promoted by Konkrete Jungle who are working hard to develop the drum 'n' bass scene in Taiwan.
MissRepresent has been working the crowds for seven years in Europe and for drum 'n' bass heads out there, this is a must-see event before LTJ Bukem hits Luxy in two weeks. MissRepresent from England is, "overjoyed to be playing for the first time in Taiwan."
Liquid funk drum 'n' bass is often referred to as "intelligent," which some feel disparages the rest of the genre.
"Liquid is not aggressive," said MissRepresent. "Liquid funk d 'n' b is more chilled and deeper. It attracts a different crowd than the jump-up crew who are into the harder stuff. It is intelligent in the way it works the crowd."
Like tonight, MissRepresent often plays without an MC because "they can make it or break it." She prefers to let her music do the talking. "I am looking forward to digging out some new stuff that people may not have heard."
Also playing with Miss Represent are Too Bad It's Not Tronic, comprised of Matt Schism and Eben Pretorius, and Konkrete Jungle boy NoNSeNsii from the US.
For the boys, your NT$600 entrance fee gets you a drink while the lucky ladies only have to pay NT$400 for the same privilege. Sexist? Yes. Fair? Probably.
MissRepresent at VU Live House (地下絲絨), B1, 77, Wuchang St Sec 2, Taipei City (台北市武昌街二段77號B1). Tonight from 11pm until 4am.
On the Net: www.missrepresent.com
With plumbing problems resolved but a few issues remaining with the neighbors, Copa reopens tonight with The Love Below. A Valentine's Day warm-up for those looking for decent cocktails and an eclectic track list of songs to do with love, solicited over the past few months from the Facebook group Bet I Can Find People Who Love Love (the brainchild of man-about-town, Tommy Milloy). With Cap (yours truly) and Sunrise Soup.
The Love Below at Copa. Tonight from 10pm until late. Free entry. Copa Bar, 2, Ln 137, Yanji St, Taipei City (台北市大安區延吉街137巷2號).
Tomorrow in Taipei there's Return to Paradise, a new club night launched by the resurgent ESPDJs, who are recreating the Eden Deep Inside house party vibe, which ended on New Year's Eve two years ago. Playing will be Saucey, Matt Ward and SL, the latter of whom is "synonymous with deep house," said Saucey.
The party will be going off at China White, "because of its intimate size," said Saucey. "We have rented a beefed up sound system to provide us with the extra oomph required for a nice rolling deep house set."

My story is not a very happy one, but I truly believe that it is one worth telling so that other parents are able to prepare themselves properly.
She died during the birth. I had had to be induced as Olivia had Hydrops fetalis, which is fluid retention around the baby and the baby's vital organs. The doctors said that she would have a less than 5% chance of survival, and at birth her head was already the size of a full term baby.
I tell this story because the hospitals often do not give you information on support groups such as SANDS and SIDS which are vital when you are given such tragic news. I feel that they believe that they know best and have the right skills to help the parents through the difficult time. To a degree they are right, but had my husband and I not gone and seen a SANDS psychologist for 2 weeks before we made our decision to be induced, I believe that it could have affected our marriage and I might possibly have become unbalanced as a result of our trauma.
The psychologist told us exactly what our rights were and what questions we should ask the specialists. She even helped me to stop myself from telling the doctors to "just take the baby away, I don't want to see it" knee jerk reaction that I had, to seeing Olivia, cuddling, kissing, dressing, giving a name giving and blessing service. All these things have helped my husband and I to get to the stage that we are today, at 10 weeks pregnant, and positive about this pregnancy, knowing that at the end we will have a healthy baby and that our experience has made us realise that having a baby is not a god given right, but a blessing.
Anyway, thanks for reading this. This the first time I've written about it and I feel so totally calm, and proud of my little girl, that in her death, she really did give me life, and hopefully the ability to be the best mother that I can be.
Thanks and regards Samantha Richards

Tulip bulbs, decorative cabbage, and a winter clematis.
In May, I went to the "home center" (Nakano Shimachu) and bought the most expensive rose (about US$ 30). It's name is L'Espoir, or Hope. It scores a perfect 5 in every attribute: grows well in pots, size of flower, scent, bloom frequency, and ease of growing. It's also dedicated to the Tohoku March 11, 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster.
I am generally skeptical of industrial gardening, but I gave Hope a try. It turned out great on the 10th floor balcony. It may not have grown that tall, but it required no pesticide and bloomed often. I love the scent. To me, scent is essential in roses.
Compared to one month earlier, the banana is bigger, and the green curtain thicker.

I'm voting Judge Randy Koschnick on April 7th
Do you want a Supreme Court Justice to apply the law, not make it? To in effect umpire the baseball game by calling the balls, strikes, outs, and plays, not make up new rules as the game progresses?
Making up the rules as you go along in a game isn't fair. If we are talking about a judge ruling on a case, it is dangerous. Unfortunately, legislating from the bench is the trend with many judges these days. I'm looking for judges who simply carry out the rule of law. That is why I am voting for Judge Randy Koschnick in April's election.
Judge Koschnick's pledge says it well: "The role of a justice is to apply the law; not make it. I pledge to not legislate from the bench."
Most people are pretty unaware there even is a Wisconsin Supreme Court race on the April ballot. There has not been all that much in the news about this contest. It will be up to conservatives and those voters who care enough to look at the ballot races to ferret out any information about the candidates.
Our current sitting Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge, Shirley Abrahamson, has a much larger campaign war chest--with over $30,000 of it coming from attorneys who have cases pending before her! Think that is right?
According to "a recent survey of 600 Wisconsin residents show[ing] that 78% of those polled believe that [campaign] contributions have a 'great deal' or 'some' influence on Wisconsin judges' decisions."
You can keep up with Koschnick's campaign though on his website, koschnickforjustice.com There is a convenient link to news stories there as well as video of his interviews and debate. His list of endorsements includes familiar names such as former Waukesha County D.A. Paul Bucher, our current D.A. Brad Schimel, and Sheriff Daniel Trawicki.
Blogger Randy Melchert has been following his campaign too at randallmelchert.com, filed under Randy Koschnick - Supreme Court.
I heard Judge Randy Koschnick speak at the Defending the American Dream Summit on March 7th. As a staunch supporter of the Constitution, he emphasized that judges should respect the Constitution and apply it as written.
Judge Koschnick told the audience an interesting bit about his opponent, Shirley Abrahamson (appointed by Governor Lucy in 1976). When President Clinton was contemplating a pick for the United States Supreme Court, he considered Judge Abrahamson but decided she was TOO LIBERAL.
Respecting the Constitution means respecting all of it, including 2nd Amendment rights; Koschnick is endorsed by the NRA Political Victory Fund.
One of Shirley Abrahamson's more famous cases was the 2005 lead paint liability case. The plaintiff,
"Steven Thomas, had suffered lead paint* injury from living in two houses built, respectively, in 1900 and 1905, that had lead paint on their walls. ...he sued a variety of companies...known collectively as the Pigment Manufacturers. Thomas wanted financial damages from the manufacturers on the grounds that one of them had produced a product that caused his injury. The plaintiff had already successfully sued his landlords, obtaining a financial settlement from them..."
The ruling, written by Louis Butler (who
"The end result of the majority opinion is that the defendants, lead pigment manufacturers, can be held liable for a product they may or may not have produced, which may or may not have caused the plaintiff's injuries, based on conduct that may have occurred over 100 years ago when some of the defendants were not even part of the relevant market."
For me, the choice is easy; the differences are stark. Don't let Shirley's TV ads fool you into thinking she is a conservative. Obviously she is not.
As always, research the candidates for yourself and be an informed voter. If you agree Judge Randy Koschnick is the better choice, spread the word.

Neymar agent blasts Scolari
Neymar's agent Wagner Ribeiro has taken to Twitter to launch a scathing attack on Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari as both a manager and a person.
With Neymar absent after a fractured vertebra ruled him out of the World Cup, Scolari's Brazil were humiliated 7-1 by Germany in their semifinal clash in Belo Horizonte.
Brazil 1-7 Germany -- reaction
- Marcotti: Scolari at a loss to explain
- Jones: Seven stages of grief for Brazil
- Duarte: Haunting defeat for the Selecao
- Delaney: Three Points - Brazil broken by Germany
- Low: German plan worked perfectly
- Behind the Numbers: Germany's historic win
- Photo Gallery: Best of Brazil vs. Germany
- Klose breaks World Cup goals record | Highlight
- Social reaction: Brazil, did that just happen?
The margin was the biggest ever in a World Cup semifinal, and saw the humbled Scolari and his players face a barrage of criticism.
And Ribeiro reacted to the embarrassing defeat by tweeting a list of six reasons why he said Scolari was not up to the job of managing his country in a World Cup on home soil.
6 quesitos para ser técnico da Seleção Brasileira . pic.twitter.com/LRdJSgdIbC
- Wagner Ribeiro (@wagneribeiro_) July 9, 2014
He wrote: "1. He trained Portugal and did not win anything. 2. Went to Chelsea and got sacked. 3. Went to coach in Uzbekistan. 4. Returned to Brazil, took a big team [Palmeiras in 2012] and got them relegated. 5. Asked to resign 56 days before the end of the season to avoid the relegation. 6. He's a 'd-------', arrogant, horrible, conceited and ridiculous."
Neymar said later on Thursday his agent has his own opinions with which the star player does not agree.
"Only my father and I represent what I say," he said. "Whatever Wagner says he has to own up to. I like him a lot, but his attitude I won't accept or agree with. If I'd seen him today I would have some swear words for him."
Neymar declined to answer whether he thought Scolari should stay or go, saying only, "When we lose we don't have to change everything but correct things by working hard."
Germany revealed that their players had been told not to "ridicule" Brazil after going five goals in front before half an hour had been played.
Scolari said he would not resign after the semifinal hammering, which he described as "the worst day of my life," and would wait until after the tournament to determine his future.

Carrot and Ginger Soup with Limes and Clementines
Carrot and Ginger Soup with Limes and Clementines
Serves 4
Grated zest of limes and clementines add spark to this golden, gingery soup. The mild taste of clementine juice works well, but orange, mandarin or tangerine juice also work fine.
2 tablespoons butter1. Heat butter and oil in a saucepan, add onions and a pinch of salt, and cook until softened and golden. Add ginger and carrots and sauté a few minutes more. Add stock or water, clementine juice, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer until carrots are tender, about 20 minutes.
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
2 onions, chopped
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 pound carrots (about 4-6), finely sliced
4 cups chicken stock or water
Juice of 5 clementines (about 3/4 cup)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Shreds of lime and clementine zest, for garnish
2. Strain into a pitcher; put solids into a blender with 1-2 ladles of strained liquid, then purée, adding extra liquid if necessary. When smooth, add remaining liquid and purée again.
3. Reheat if necessary, taste and adjust seasoning, then serve soup in bowls and top with lime and clementine zest.

My HP Pavilion g4 laptop has undergone some changes.
Let's see...
1. GRUB2 is now provided by OpenMandriva Lx RC1. Formerly, I used Mageia's, but it was difficult to get it to see PCLinuxOS, which uses legacy GRUB.
2. PCLinuxOS has been updated and it now fixed the SCIM IME. That is simply great! PCLinuxOS 32 bits is my gaming OS as it gets to play my DESURA and STEAM games perfectly.
3. Mageia 3 remains the same with some updates. This is my academic distro and my family OS (it was user accounts for my family)
4. Pisi Linux 1.0 RC1 replaces Pardus 2011.
5. Mandriva 2011 was replaced by OpenMandriva Lx 2013 RC1 and now this distro was upgraded to RC2. I also tested the Live/installer DVD and the keyboard problem was finally fixed. This seems to be a promising release.
6. PicarOS, the OS for children based on GalpON MiniNO, was updated to Diego. At first, the installation lacked sound but I fixed the problem after a while. All I had to do was disable a sound card that is useless. To do so, I used the sound tools.
I am now waiting for the new Elive release...
A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 3.1 /3.0 Mageia 6, PCLinuxOS 2017.03, Fedora Workstation 27 (KDE spin), PicarOS, Pisi Linux 1, Elive beta, and AntiX 13.

UN Climate Official Steps In It, Then Aside
There are numerous possible reasons for UN climate chief Yvo de Boer's decision to resign—from his inability to cobble together a new climate treaty last December in Copenhagen (where he wept on the podium), to recent revelations of his agency's mishandling of climate change data.
What the climate science community and the public should focus on now are the ramifications of de Boer's resignation. For one thing, it signals that hope is dead for a UN-brokered global treaty that would have any meaningful effect on global temperatures. It also means that the UN intends to keep its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change pretty much intact under the leadership of the scientifically compromised Rajenda Pauchari, who should have resigned along with de Boer.
This development guarantees that the Obama administration will have an unmitigated mess on its hands when signatories to the Framework Convention sit down in Mexico City this November in yet another meeting intended to produce a climate treaty. The Mexico City meeting convenes six days after U.S. midterm elections, in which American voters are fully expected to rebuke Obama for policies including economy-crippling proposals to combat climate change.
In short, Mexico City is about as likely to produce substantive policy decisions as the TV show 'The View.' Backers of radical climate change measures are now paying the price for over two decades of telling the public—in this case literally—that the sky is falling.

What happened when Sheila Kelley, the wackadoodle, hyperkinetic creator of The S Factor workout appeared on the exercise episode of Martha's show today?
Sheila got the domestic diva to grind her hips — and try out the pole. Martha said, "I want to do the upside-down things."

Real Madrid recovered from a one-goal disadvantage to score a road win at Old Trafford and win the UEFA Champions League knockout round tie with Manchester United thanks to an absurd red card.
Nani drew the booking after a clash with Álvaro Arbeloa in the 57th minute with Man United up 1-0. If intentional, it'd be a deserved red. But as you can see, Nani didn't know Arbeloa was there:
Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir didn't see things that way, though, and despite earning praise from British press earlier today it's unlikely he'll get that same acclaim in the morning papers.
Luka Modrić scored an equalizer minutes later, followed up nearly immediately by a tap-in from Cristiano Ronaldo. That brought the aggregate score to a 3-2 Real Madrid advantage, and ended the Red Devils' dream for their first Champions League title since 2008. For Real Madrid's part manager Jose Mourinho simply said, "The best team lost."

Microsoft Fail: Live Search Going to Kumo.com
Another Gigantic Fail for Microsoft Marketing Team: Kumo.com
Microsoft Possibly to Rebrand Live Search to Kumo.com?
Though it is only rumored, Search Engine Land's (SEL) column on this move offers some convincing evidence that this rebranding is in the works.
Why Kumo.com Will Fail As Rebranding:
Let's start with the fact that Microsoft is trying too hard to be that nice, neat, and all-expansive buzz word: "Web 2.0". Kumo supposedly can be translated to mean "cloud" or "spider" in Japanese. So it's likely they are thinking more along the vein of "spider" than "cloud".
It's just unique enough to completely forget.
Secondly, if the they don't augment the search algorithm capability to, at the very least, match what Google and Yahoo are doing, then it won't matter that it's called Kumo. It will still return the results that have made it a consistent #3 search engine, and still be equipped with the functionality that make a search disaster.
Lastly, the Microsoft Team has participated in far too many blunders. Starting with Microsoft/Seinfeld Ads and then possibly using BrowseRank, then going back a year to the launch of Vista. Microsoft's reputation has taken too many blows to hide behind a simple name change. They don't have to start from scratch, but they certainly need to put much more thought into these branding messages.
My advice: time to find a new marketing team. This is should be the final nail in the coffin for the completely inept, and non-tech folks they've got working these branding schemes now.
What Will Really Happen if Microsoft Goes Through with Kumo.com
If the speculative change happens, then Microsoft will see, overall, a lower share of the search market. This is an attempt to reach out to a younger, possibly more tech-savvy audience, interested in social networking and "cool, unusual names". Microsoft must have looked at the numbers and seen that the majority of their users are non-tech and net-savvy Boomers and older. Those users who use IE (Internet Explorer) like it's going out of style.
And, the way Microsoft pushes out their branding pieces is so "in your face", that it will be impossible to disassociate itself from Kumo.com if it does happen to tank miserably (which it will). They'll see an influx of users, much the way Kuil (Cool) did, and then slide into a slow and destitute oblivion, with very little hope of Live Search ever resurfacing and regaining back users.
They only way Microsoft has a chance if they launch Kumo as a somewhat independent engine, loosely associated to Microsoft Live Search. In this manner, Kumo will be able to gather a user base organically. And if and when it chokes out, Live Search will still have a semi-strong brand backing and not have lost too many users. But to completely switch the branding over to Kumo as the new Search Crown Jewel is brand-suicide.
According to TopNews, "In the internal memo, Satya Nadella said, "Kumo.com exists only inside the corporate network, and in order to get enough feedback we will be redirecting internal live.com traffic over to the test site in the coming days. Kumo is the codename we have chosen for the internal test."
Update #2 From Search Engine Land
How about that brand name? Last year at SMX Advanced, then Microsoft online services president Kevin Johnson acknowledged that Microsoft had a search brand problem, one that he decisively said would be fixed, even if that meant getting a new brand. Since then, four contenders for the new brand name have emerged:
- Kumo
- Bing
- Hook
- Sift
Mar 3 2009
I can see that you like the word "Fail" a lot..
May 26 2009
Kumo is re branding its self as a different search engine all together.

Why Have I Been to Ivan Ramen 6 Times in 14 Days?
Note: I ran into my friend and neighbor Brian Koppelman (@briankoppelman on Twitter), a serious eater and screenwriter (he and his writing partner David Levien wrote Ocean's Thirteen and Rounders among many other movies and television shows) in our building's elevator a few days ago. He told me he'd been to Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop six times since it opened less two weeks ago. I laughed all too knowingly and asked if he would explain to the Serious Eats community why and how he had become so enamored of Ivan's joint so quickly. This is his story. — Ed Levine
I am a ramen freak. This is something I didn't really know about myself until about 14 days ago when I walked into Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop in the newly opened Gotham West Market. Before that, I liked ramen. Could even get excited about a killer bowl of tonkotsu at Jin Ramen or Ippudo. But the moment I took my first taste of Garlic Mazemen at Slurp Shop, I was hooked in a way I hadn't been by a single dish since I stumbled into Momofuku Noodle Bar the third month it was in operation and ate one of David Chang's pork buns for the first time.
I remember heading back downtown to Noodle Bar three times over the next three weeks. But that place is far away from my apartment. Ivan Ramen, on the other hand, is about 30 blocks south of me, a nice, easy walk, just long enough to convince myself that I've burned off the calories in one round trip. So I've been back five times since they opened. I'd admit to six, but that would be a little embarrassing.
I've tried to figure out why Ivan's noodles and soup are so addictive. It could be his famous double soup technique which ensures that the broth is heartily seasoned but still somehow light and easy on the stomach. It could be the rye noodles which are cooked just al dente enough to feel substantial on the tongue. It could be magic. Whatever it is, it works.
And I haven't just eaten the garlic mazemen. The truth is, I've been banned from eating it by my wife and kids because the amount of garlic Ivan uses, and the way he uses it, is evident on the eater's clothes, body, and breath for days and days. I say it's worth it; my family asks me to sleep at the office. So for the most part, I've been sticking with the Traditional Shio Ramen and the Pork Donburi Bowl. Both are excellent and addictive in their own way, and both have kept me coming back for more.
But the other day, something great happened. I came down with a wicked cold. A brutal, wicked cold. For which, as we all know, there's one cure.
Garlic. Ivan Ramen's garlic.
And if I have to sleep in the office? Fine. I'll have Ivan make me some take out,* and I'll eat it for breakfast.
* Note: Brian realizes that like many serious ramen shops, Ivan Ramen does not do take out as the noodles deteriorate quickly when they leave the premises. Great storyteller that he is, Brian was speaking metaphorically. — Ed

Recyclemania, an eight-week-long project hosted by St. Bonaventure's Sustainability Committee, Tread Lightly environmental group and Student Government Association, promotes the importance of recycling and sustainability on campus in an effort to benefit the environment.
The theme for the event this year is "Feed the Wolf." Green Bona Wolf logos located around campus brightly identify recycling locations. St. Bonaventure has the opportunity to recycle effectively because the university allows plastic containers numbered one to seven on the recycling symbol to be recycled on campus.
During the first week of Recyclmania, students were invited to sign leaf-shaped pledge cards signifying their commitment to recycling.
Katrina Teeter, president of Tread Lightly, said there are 300 cards on the pledge tree. The tree, located in the Hickey Dining Hall, is made out of recycled materials.
"I wasn't sure how many students would participate in Recyclemania and pledge to recycle," Teeter said. "In the beginning, there were only 200 pledges printed. The result means our campus is ready and willing to increase their recycling habits. I say this because those 200 pledges were signed the first day, and 400 more had to be printed. I am very excited to say there were many students who are excited to promote recycling to their friends and increase their recycling habits themselves."
Teeter said the goal is to increase the percentage of recyclable materials collected on campus.
"The overall goal this year is to reach 25 percent," Teeter said. "Our slogan is 'push for the fourth' because we are trying to increase campus recycling to one-fourth of all materials. This year, we are publicizing our raw percentages to see if we can reach 25 percent and increase the push for recycling through positive publicity."
Teeter said students should increase their awareness of recycling to help with this project.
"Students can help continue Recyclemania's success by educating themselves," Teeter said. "One way students can get informed is through 'Toilet Talks', which is the bathroom newsletter sponsored by Tread Lightly. Every two weeks there is a column that informs the campus of what Recyclemania is, what can and can't be recycled and educational events Recyclemania will be hosting."
Stay up to date on Recyclemania events at www.sbu.edu/Recyclemania.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

Half-naked, all smiles: Abercrombie & Fitch opens in Hong Kong
Abercrombie & Fitch Hong Kong has the city in its grips.
A hundred hunks were flown in from all over the world to promote the city's flagship store in the week leading up to the opening on August 11 at 11 a.m.
The shirtless models have been clapping and hollering by the storefront as well as waving from the A&F bus that drives around town to attract attention.
And attention they got plenty of in the form of screaming women, stalled traffic and photos posted and liked on Facebook.
Abercrombie & Fitch Hong Kong needs the popularity of the hunks to translate into sales so they can make their rent of HK$7 million (US$902,000) per month.
Retail space in Hong Kong's Central district, where A&F will open, is poised to be the most expensive on the planet, surpassing New York's 5th Avenue in the next few years.
Mainland Chinese tourists are flocking to Western fashion giants such as Gap, H&M and now Abercrombie & Fitch, pushing the rent at store locations up into the millions.
But back to the hunks.

Like a walk on the beach
The Abercrombie & Fitch Hong Kong models have been staying at the W Hotel for two weeks now, getting ready for shoots and media events.
The boys work four-hour shifts outside the store and five-hour shifts on the A&F bus.
It's a tough job and most of them cannot stand the air pollution in Hong Kong, but hey, at least they don't have to wear any clothes out there in the sweltering subtropical heat.
When not on shop or bus duty, they are given A&F clothing to wear, so the only things they really need to pack are just their socks and underwear.
Kelly, 19, from Los Angeles, who also wears the sweet, woody aroma of L'eau D'Issey Pour Homme, says that for A&F guys right now, "tightie whities are in and boxers are out."
The youngest of the group at age 18 is the blond-haired Vince from Dayton, Ohio. It's his first time outside of the American continent.
His story of how he got started with A&F is like most of the stories from the other boys.
Either A&F was your favorite brand, and you went in to the store and asked for a job, or you were recruited on the streets while partying.
Also on CNN: Hong Kong's most talked-about new hotels
And how does one get to be picked to travel around the world and work at shop openings?
"You talk to people; you fold clothes; they take pictures of you; they take topless pictures of you. And if management liked you, you get to be promoted as 'greeter' and you get to stand outside the store."
There's no room for drama, emo or pouting for the A&F boys. These constantly grinning hunks are the face of A&F and they know it.
When asked if they feel awkward having to take their tops off all the time, boy-next-door Trey, 20, from Chicago, says: "It's not that different than going to the beach."
He stresses that it's really not just the six-pack and the pecs that the company is looking for.
"A&F guys need to have personality and warmth -- we're bringing that preppy American feel," he explains as he looks you straight in the eye with a disarmingly friendly smile. Trey has it down pat.
"I don't believe in dieting"
Out of the 108 boys, six are local guys recruited for Abercrombie & Fitch Hong Kong.
Wilson Chung, 20, was recruited while out clubbing in Lan Kwai Fong. He finds people who feel up his chest and arms during photographs "pretty weird."
But Chung obviously loves his summer job. It's an opportunity to hang out with dudes from all over the world "doing all sorts of crazy."
Plus the local boys get rooms at the W for two weeks as well.
Also on CNN: The dirty-fun guide to Wanchai bars
As for the upkeep of the legendary A&F abs, the company does not issue a strict gym regimen for them to follow.
"It's up to us. That way, it's more organic," says Trey. He goes to the gym twice a day, around 15-20 hours a week.
"And I don't believe in dieting. Oh my god, the omelet is amazing at the W."
Yui, 27, from Japan is strikingly beautiful, perfectly bilingual and perfectly disciplined. He works out five or six days per week and is at the gym from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. before he goes to work.
Maito, a cute, baby-faced half-Brazilian, half-Japanese 19-year-old, actually plays for the Japanese soccer team Shimizu S-Pulse in Japan. He works out at the gym four or five times a week for two hours and also runs.
The boys are definitely enjoying the attention, as well as the camaraderie that comes with working and traveling with a group of like-minded guys.
Although they didn't get to fly into the city together to promote Abercrombie & Fitch Hong Kong.
"You do not want all of us in a pressurized container. Oh no," as Trey put it.

Tagged: Craig Scharton
A Walk In The Park
By: Noah Frank
When you are fortunate enough to work in baseball, you can, from time to time, forget the advantages your job affords you. In the offseason, when there are no games being played, you work a fairly standard 9-5 day, joining the rest of the population on the morning and evening commutes. But if you are lucky enough to have your offices built into the ballpark, and built into as beautiful a ballpark as we have here in Downtown Fresno, there is a constant reminder, right outside the window.
This week, that which all Grizzlies fans already know about our baseball home was revealed to a nationwide audience. Baseball America, the preeminent publication in our sport, chose Chukchansi Park to grace the cover of its 2012 Great Parks Calendar, which will hang in offices and homes from Spokane to Jupiter, from Portland (not Oregon anymore, just Maine) to Orem. It is a special honor for a city like Fresno, one that is not always associated with aesthetic beauty by those who do not live here.
In order to get a feel for the weight of such an honor, I caught up with a couple of people who know Downtown Fresno as well as anyone. Craig Scharton was born and raised in Fresno, and has moved his life Downtown, first living in the Security Bank building before purchasing his current house. This is only fitting, as he spends his days in the city offices as the Director of Downtown and Community Revitalization. There are few people in our town more committed to the success of Downtown than Scharton, who currently has a 20-game package for The CRU Club, and whose family has owned some form of ticket plan since the team's move to its Downtown home in 2002.
"It's obviously an incredible facility," said Scharton of the ballpark. "And if we forget, we're always reminded when we take visitors around how beautiful it is."
Sometimes it takes an outsider's view to make us aware again of what a great facility we have here. Another one of Downtown's biggest champions, Travis Sheridan, relayed such a perspective.
"I've had visitors in all last year, coming anywhere from St. Louis to Australia," he recalled. "They have all been so impressed with the ballpark. That's when you know without a shadow of a doubt that this is a top notch ballpark."
Scharton also recalled his experiences hearing from those who live outside of Fresno about how Chukchansi Park compares in the national landscape.
"We consistently hear from players and visitors that it's the nicest ballpark in Triple-A" Scharton commented. That's saying a lot, considering that six other parks have been built since 2000 in the Pacific Coast League alone.
The ballpark has also become the focal point of the Downtown entertainment experience. Sheridan was living in the Tower District when he first attended a game, back in 2004. Despite being a big baseball fan, he did not begin attending regularly until he became more involved in the future of Downtown four years ago as the Director of Marketing and Communications for the Central Valley Business Incubator.
"For me, it was a two-pronged approach," Sheridan explained. "The more I got involved, the more I started patronizing the Downtown area, and the ballpark is the crown jewel of Downtown. As a baseball fan, I realized I was missing out."
Sheridan moved Downtown a year ago and took a much bigger leap in his connection to the Grizzlies this season, when he became the on-field host for 67 of the team's 72 home games.
"Nothing beats an afternoon at the ballpark," said Sheridan, who would certainly know. "Walking from my place (at Broadway Lofts) to the ballpark, it's a great way to experience Downtown. It makes for a great overall urban experience."
Adding to that experience, at least over the last couple of seasons, was the chance to see past or future World Champions playing right here in Fresno.
"One of the things I thought was great last year was carrying the momentum forward from the San Francisco Giants winning the World Series," said Sheridan. "We don't have that with Fresno State Football. There's not a lot of people who graduate that program who we're following in the pros."
Of course, college football lacks the fluid feeder system that the Grizzlies enjoy, thanks to the club's strong affiliation with the Giants. After all, more than half of the 2010 World Series roster came up through Fresno at one point or another, intrinsically tying Grizzlies fans to last year's world title. Scharton agreed with the importance of that connection, citing a recent example.
"We were with a whole group in LA last night talking about Downtown (Fresno)," he recalled. "We listed off the players that we've all been fortunate enough to watch up close and personal, like Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum, and even Pablo Sandoval, who hit that home run here last year (on a Major League rehab assignment)."
In good times and bad for the baseball on the field, though, the ballpark remains. As it goes into its 11th year, Chukchansi Park looks as good as ever, as evidenced by its selection for the Great Parks Calendar cover.
"We know that we have a great stadium, and we hope that this recognition lets a lot of other people see what a great facility we have too," said Sharton. "We hope they come and check it out."
The people Scharton is referring to aren't limited to just Fresnans, though. There are Giants fans all over the state, mostly north of the Central Valley, who travel great distances to see those in the farm system play.
"Just like people go to Spring Training, they should come down a couple times a year to see the upcoming prospects," said Scharton. "It's much easier and much cheaper to come down here than to go Scottsdale."
Scottsdale Stadium, the Spring Training home of the Giants, is somewhat similar to Chukchansi Park. It holds roughly 12,000 people and was wholly renovated just a couple of years after Chukchansi Park was built. Both provide an opportunity for Giants fans to get out of San Francisco and watch the up-and-comers in the organization before they hit the Major League level. Sheridan agreed, for the most part, that Fresno could pull the same type of fan that makes the trek to Arizona each spring.
"Spring Training will always be a destination, but you can definitely carry that momentum," Sheridan suggested. "Once people that have been identified in Spring Training as prospects, you can follow those folks in Fresno, throughout the year. To be able to see the prospects in Scottsdale and know you'll be able to catch them any weekend in Fresno is a good selling point."
It certainly won't hurt to have some national recognition from the likes of Baseball America, either.

We've had a few years of camping that have just not been super pleasant. I know I enjoy camping but with some of the experiences we've had, I was starting to not trust my own judgement.
As we drove and got closer to the mountains of where we would be staying and started driving down the dirt road to our spot I was super excited to see this.
Yep, snow.
We thought it would pass quickly but alas, it lasted through the night and into the next day. We slept in a tent in freezing temps with a two year old. If that's not persistence I don't know what is.
And I'm so glad we waited it out because after it finally passed it was so so beautiful. Nice to get away from phones, computers, TV's.
Just spend time with the people we love.
My favorite had to be how excited Nora got to see and hear the woodpeckers. We went on numerous walks to find the "woodpeppers" and she'd get so excited. She loved going through Lehman caves too. We would be standing in one of the cave rooms listening to the tour guide and she would try to wait so patiently. As soon as the tour guide would say we were moving on to the next room she would scream, "YAY"! My girl is not one for waiting.
Refreshing to spend some time away from home. Can't believe how good the kids were and what a good time we had. I'm actually looking forward to our next camping trip for once.

SIMPSONVILLE, Ky. – The No. 18 Georgia College golf team has advanced to quarterfinal action at the 2012 NCAA Division II Championships, taking fifth in stroke play and now advancing to Friday's match play. The top-eight teams advance to the quarterfinal round of match play tomorrow.
The No. 5-seeded Bobcats will take on national No. 3 CSU-Stanislaus, the stroke-play No. 4-seed in the national quarterfinals.
The national quarterfinal team match between GC and the Warriors will consist of five points with one point being awarded for each individual match. The two teams will be the early birds tomorrow, teeing off at 7:30 a.m. on hole No. 10. The winner will take on the victor of the No. 1-seed Chico State and No. 8 seed University of Central Missouri matchup.
The Bobcats shot their best round of the stroke-play tournament today, a three-under 285 on the par-72, 7,092-yard Cardinal Club Golf Course. GC finished two under for the three-rounds after carding a 289 and 288 the last two days.
Freshman Ryan Trocchio (Norcross, Ga.) was masterful today with just one hole above par, carding a 67. The PBC Freshman of the Year hit the ground running, birdying each of the first four holes. Trocchio jumped from 18th to fifth with that effort, combining his three rounds for a minus-six.
Junior Taylor Smith (Mansfield, Ga.) continued his consistent effort, following a pair of 72s with today's 71 for one-under in 15th. Smith started with a pair of birdies, and didn't bogey a hole until No. 15.
Junior Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) put up a second-straight 73 in today's action, finishing 19th with a three-round 216. Garrett carded four birdies, including the par-five No. 17 for the third-straight round.
Freshman David Sullivan (Woodstock, Ga.) posted a counting round, his best of the tourney with a 74. Sullivan finished strong, at par for the final eight holes. He finished 79th with a plus-13.
Sophomore Victor Monte (Chantilly, Va.) put a pair of 78's around yesterday's team-low 70, finishing 71st at 11-over.
No. 7 Chico State was three under today and ran away with first place at 13-under par. No. 1 Nova Southeastern University was second at nine-under. No. 13 University of Central Oklahoma was third, with No. 3 CSU-Stanislaus in fourth.
No. 2 Barry University, fellow Peach Belt Conference (PBC) school No. 14 USC Aiken and No. 34 Central Missouri also advance to the quarterfinals.
Josh Creel of UCO and Jim Knous of Colorado School of Mines both closed the 54 holes of stroke play tied for the top spot individually at a 10-under 206.
Creel topped Knous in a playoff to claim the 2012 NCAA Division II individual national championship. Creel shot par on the 18th hole in the playoff to get the win.
Sullivan gets the Bobcats started against the Warriors' Teddy Schrier tomorrow, May 18 at 7:30 a.m.

Of course there are always exceptions. Windows ME is the exception. Stay away from it and you'll be fine.

Venerable Prof. Geshe Ngawang Samten Director/Rector, Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies Sarnath, India
The Buddha has addressed all of the challenges that humanity faces. So long as samsara exists, and so long as beings suffer, Buddhism is relevant and quite useful for elevating them from suffering. Buddhist education is not for immediate purposes – for providing jobs or other things like that; Buddhist education emancipates beings from suffering. Therefore, first of all, I think it is extremely important to understand that Buddhist education now being provided around the world, in many of these institutions, just like any other modern discipline – they do not have the characteristics of being Buddhistic in nature. Buddhist education is quite different from what is being provided in the modern education.
The modern world is facing many problems, fundamentally, due to the development of its education system. The modern education is totally extroverted, and the people who are trained through this process of education cannot introvert themselves – cannot understand their life. They cannot understand themselves or the world around them – becoming a mere biological machine.
So I would like to quote one statement from His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, which has become quite popular and sometimes printed on t-shirts and in many articles – about the paradoxes that modern society faces: "We have bigger houses but smaller families, more conveniences but less time; we have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge but less judgment; more experts but more problems; more medicines but less healthiness; we have been all the way to the moon and back but we have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor; we build more computers to hold more information than ever but we have less communication; we have become long on quantity but short on quality; these are the times for fast foods but low digestion; tall men but short character; steep profit but shallow relationships…"
I think these paradoxes that we face at the moment are at the global stage or global level. Such paradoxes are primarily, as I had said earlier, because of the existing education systems that we all have. Therefore, I really want to urge all of our Buddhist universities, scholars, teachers and students to not be infected by the disease of modern educational systems. Our Buddhist education should not be infected, rather the Buddhist educational system should give directions to the modern education system.
In Buddhism, education, as I have said earlier, is not for an immediate purpose, but for the total emancipation from suffering. Therefore, the very motivation behind the entire education system and the people who come to give education and who come to receive education should have the motivation of bringing peace into a person and bringing transformation into a person rather than obtaining some information – just as modern education is completely based on the transformation of data rather than the realization and transformation of the person. Buddhist education is primarily based on the transformation of the person. In Buddhism, we have the three [trainings], in the real sense – this is education. How can these transformations be brought about? The Buddha has rightly pointed out, and he has given during his lifetime, the [three trainings]. This is why we have the Tipitaka – the three vessels, the three containers of these three [trainings].
First of all, the person should have moral ethics, proper understanding of moral ethics. They should abide by the moral ethics; and thereafter, they can have meditational processes. Meditation processes do not necessarily mean the person has to go to a remote forest-cave for meditation, but mediation can be done at any time, can be done by lay people, can be done by students while they are attending their classes. So therefore, Buddhist education is all about transformation; and through meditation, one can realize the reality of external and internal phenomena-worlds – and through that, one can understand reality and further develop and cultivate wisdom. Therefore, the core element of Buddhist education is transformation, and as the Buddhist education should not be confined to the written walls of Buddhist institutions and Buddhist society. It should have a better interaction with other disciplines. In the past, in ancient Nalanda and other great Buddhist monastic universities – the great scholars interacted with the leading, prevalent, different disciplines in India. Similarly, now we should have interactions with different, other disciplines: science, western philosophy, social sciences, and many other things – so that we can have these similar interactions.
Buddhism does not need to fear from science, Buddhism does not need to fear from postmodernism. Whatever is based on rational ground is acceptable for Buddhism, and can have interaction. So, therefore, as His Holiness, the Dalai Lama has been having interactions constantly for the last twenty years with the scientists, and the scientists accept that Buddhism has given science a new direction for the world of science.
Finally, Buddhism can provide lots of proper direction to various sciences: ecology, economics, and as we have been discussing, to governance, to bring real peace to society. Real peace is possible only through transforming individuals within the society; and this transformation can be brought out through proper education and training of the students – and for that, in Buddhism we have different criteria for teachers and for students. Students should also ponder upon these subtle issues, so that Buddhist education can become a unique in itself, which can provide directions to the other disciplines around the world.
