College of Graduate Studies
About the Medical Scientist Training Program
The MST program is designed to be flexible, challenging and rewarding. The course of study is specially tailored to meet the particular needs and research interests of the individual student. The student's graduate advisory committee approves their curriculum design. The curriculum sequence is coordinated to include basic science and clinical rotations in medical school, plus graduate education and sufficient time to conduct a significant research project leading to the Ph.D.
Our program encourages students to enroll during the summer before the first year of matriculation into medical school in order to conduct a meaningful research experience. Although maximum flexibility with respect to curriculum design is encouraged, the average time to complete the program is 7.7 years. For most students the program is structured as follows, however, it is very flexible and can be changed to suit the trainee's needs.
Medicine, First & Second Years
Graduate Studies, Years Three and Beyond
Translational Sciences Clinic
Medicine, Year Three
Medicine, Year Four
MSTP Activites and Events
MSTP Seminar Series
CARES Clinic
Translational Medicine Seminars
A Month in the Research Nexus Presentations
Senior Panel
MSTP Annual Student Research Day
MUSC Student Research Day Competition
Invited Seminar Speakers
Social Events
Medicine, First & Second Years
The first two years of the program follow the classical medical school curriculum. Students spend the summers before and after their first year further familiarizing themselves with research laboratories at MUSC. They complete the second year of medical school with their entering class. The National Board Examination Part I is taken at the end of the second year. During this time students usually choose a program/department and mentor with whom they will work with to conduct their dissertation research.
Graduate Studies, Years Three and Beyond
Following the second year of medical school, students pursue graduate studies leading to a Ph.D. degree. During this period of time, students should complete all of the research and scientific work necessary for a dissertation. Research training leading to a Ph.D. degree can be pursued in the following departments or programs, Biochemistry and Molecular Biology; Cell Injury and Repair; Cell and Molecular Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics; Drug Discovery and Biomedical Sciences; Gene Medicine; Lipidomics; Microbiology and Immunology; Molecular and Cellular Biology and Pathobiology; Neurosciences; Pathology; Proteomics; Public Health Sciences; Regenerative Medicine and Cell Biology; and Structural Biology.
MSTP students take selected parts of the core curriculum offered to first year graduate students. The selection of units to be taken by the MSTP students is decided via discussions with the student's mentor and graduate program coordinator. The MSTP students are required to take the Essentials of Scientific Practice and the seminar series Important Unanswered Questions in Biomedical Sciences. Essentials of Scientific Practice covers those topics that are necessary to become an accomplished scientist but are not science. They include such things as good laboratory practices, intellectual property, oral and written communication skills, how to write a grant and the ethical conduct of research. Important Unanswered Questions in the Biomedical Sciences seminar series is devoted to translational research.
The MST Program Steering Committee requires that all laboratory research necessary for completion of the Ph.D. degree be finished and the Dissertation either defended or ready for defending before the student resumes the third year of Medical School. The Program requires that the Dissertation be defended by the end of the calendar year.
The MSTP Progress Committee evaluates individual performance after each semester of study during the first two years and then annually thereafter.
Translational Sciences Clinic
The goal of this requirement is for MSTP students to learn how to better integrate the basic sciences and their area of research interest with a meaningful clinical/translational experience. The students are expected to discuss the patient's problems from a literature/research perspective. They will work in a clinic, one-half day a week with an extramurally funded clinician-scientist who is chosen based on his/her demonstrated commitment to research. All MSTP students are required to register for two (2) semesters of this clinic. It is suggested that the student participate in the clinic during their second or third year of graduate school. The studnet receives 3 weeks of junior selective credit for the 2 semesters. The mentors for this elective could help the students with a potential clinical study that may evolve from their basic science project. The course plan for the Translational Sciences Clinic follows:
Medicine, Year Three
The third year of medical school provides the basic clinical experiences in the major medical disciplines. Students rotate through clinical clerkships in internal medicine, surgery, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, family medicine and psychiatry. There are also three week selective rotations that allow students to explore subspeciality areas.
The final year of medical school consists of completion of the clinical requirements and electives that permit the student to further develop individual interests. Four-week subinternships are required for medicine and surgery. Electives last four to eight weeks. During the senior year, MSTP students apply for desirable internships at outstanding medical universities. Time is available for students to travel to the institutions for interviews.

Vertu's $10K Android Phone is Absurdly Expensive and Luxurious
The hardware specs are a little less obscene. It has a 3.7-inch touchscreen display, 1.7GHz dual-core processor, 64GB of internal storage, 8MP rear-facing camera with autofocus and twin LED flash, 1.3MP front-facing camera, and various other ho-hum tidbits, at least in reference to its exorbitant price, which can reach as high as $22,100 (if you purchase the "Red Gold Mixed Metals" version).
Vertu opted to go with Android for its first post-Nokia device, because it's a more established OS than Windows Phone.
"You need to be part of an ecosystem," Vertu chief Perry Oosting explained to BBC. "Your device will have to integrate with other devices. I think the Windows Phone [platform] will have success but it is still a relatively small market share. At the moment it doesn't have the global reach of Android -- which is about 60 percent of the market."
There's no 4G radio in the Vertu Ti, though there is a "concierge" button that links to a global team that can help out with localized advice or make restaurant reservations. But let's be real. People who purchase this device are doing so primarily for the status symbol.

The iOS version of the world-renowned TENORI-ON brings you a completely new musical interface.
Even if you don't know much about music, you can create music intuitively as if you were arranging sounds in space. The music that you see on the 16 × 16 grid of buttons is the music that is performed.
On the 16 × 16 grid of buttons, basically, the horizontal direction is time, and the vertical direction is pitch. By laying sounds on these buttons, you can combine rhythms and melodies to produce music. A button will glow when its sound is produced. The movements of the glowing lights produce a visual performance.
What's new in version 1.4.0
You can now share your save files via Yamaha's server.
See the location of the session member's on a map.
Adjust the brightness of the 16x16 buttons.
Other new features include Recording via the microphone.
Variety of Musical Expressions
TNR-i can produce 16 types of sounds at the same time (16 layers), and it can memorize up to 16 song patterns produced using those sounds (16 blocks). By switching between song patterns in real time, you can produce a rich variety of musical expressions.

A collection of various side stories from the universe of "The Wizard and the Lonely Princess". Included are various origin tales for OCs and side adventures for various characters in the main story that were left on the cutting room floor. Want to see Nightmare Moon sneaking around Hogwarts? You'll find that here among others.
It may be because I'm no chef.
It may be because I'm Canadian.
But I see nothing overly odd about Lunas cooking. Also, using a cleaver to open a can of soup is just brilliant, one less thing to wash.
Hey! I'm canadian too you know! But it was more the amount of salt she put in along with pepper. And I never did say the size of the salt shaker she used...
My little sister did that once, except it wasn't soup, it was french fries, had more salt than fries and she still turns red when you mention it! I'm liking these little side tales, so please keep up the good work.
I see that you covered the origin of Queen Chrysais.
Oh my... Well... I could see that being the case... Discord never really struck me as a killer... Or even really all that evil... My best view was that I always saw him was as more of a Sociopath who desired to see the world "Return to its natural state". No morals, no inhibitions, no rules. As likely to jump off a bridge as he would be to cross it, or turn it into cheese, or invert it, or build a 1:1 scale replica of it out of toothpicks right next to it. A good guy he is not. Indirrectly his actions would be responsible for shortening lifespans and countless deaths... but never likely intentionally... Or so I think.
Your story about the gems is probably my favorite one I've seen, I must admit.
And now I have to wonder if Mi Amore Cadenza coming into existance was just a fluke of recessive genetics or what. Or if she is even a true Alicorn for your story. Or if she's even been born yet!
Anyway, I always enjoy both the main story and these, so I'm happy to see a double update!
This is perhaps my favorite back-story for equestria ever.
Bravo sir, bravo.
...The leaders became animals?
>.> <.<
I call Angel and Owlocious to the the stand...
Truth be told I I wouldn't have cared if she killed them all. Probably would have praised her :3 . Update more on the main one please.
that was the single most epic retelling of discords defeat ever.......of all time
That story of Discord's defeat sounds like it could stand on its own. It certainly seems like you put some thought into it.
Oh man the whole concept of the Royal Gryphons is one of the best things I have ever read.
This is GooooOOOOooood. Dunno how I read Wizard and the Lonely Princess, but miss the accompanying untold tales.
Ironically, despite her efforts, or because of them, Luna's cooking made this one of my favorite side stories.
hmmm.... "On the longest day of the thousandth year, the stars will aid in her escape." Am I the only one that sees this?
Nightmare's been a softie ever since she became a plushie.
Imagine if the fated night comes, and Nightmare is too busy to attend her revenge.
"Oh, I'd love to put that damned Celestia in her place, but am far too busy debating Kafka's influence on Wizarding Philosophy with that Granger foal."
Eternal Darkness and the destruction of the sun... might be a bad thing?
I could rave about your epic telling of Equestrian history.
OR I could point out a spelling error!
"somehow appeared within their boarders."
I see where this is going, the "accident" that happened with said potion,
Please proceed
is this the love poisen story!?!
ive been waiting for someone to mention that in a fic
I think it's just you East Coaster's that are crazy. Us West Coast Canadians are sane as can be
Coast to Coast hostilities aside, I'm not quite sure how I missed this. The main story was one of the first MLP fics I ever read, and in fact, one of the main reasons I now read pony fanfiction.
Also, cooking. Just another thing I love about the princess of the night.

'Poor', well dressed illegal immigrants opening internet cafés and other illegal businesses |
The funds, quite bizarrely, are only between $1000-2000 per illegal, per month, not enough to cover food let alone rent and food. However, in what is being seen as the likely incentive for carrying out this migratory sabotage of the Jewish state, is the fact that these funds are being split, with a portion of it going to unnamed sources at various stages of the transfer, from its way from the US to Israel.
In other words, considering that hundreds of illegals penetrate Israel's borders daily, someone is profiting from this venture handsomely.
What is fairly well known is that the police bring the 'refugees' from the Egypt/Israel border, right up, all the way to south Tel Aviv, the central bus station. But that's not all. What else is now coming to light, is that with these funds, these illegals are somehow opening businesses and will soon start their own newspaper!
There is further testimony in the audio interview in which it is alleged government inspectors frequently close down illegal Jewish-owned businesses, but not the illegal businesses belonging to the illegal immigrants.
This financial improbability of all this likely hints towards further sources of funding, which as yet are undetected.
An illegal defecating in open view on the streets of south Tel Aviv. |
Once again we have ample proof of the government not acting in the best interests of the people, and are exploiting them for their own gain. These funds run into many millions of dollars per year.
In fact, Israelis are no pushovers when it comes to foreign invasions, and most citizens are ex-military. Last week during large protests violence erupted as a mini-civil war seems to be nearing (incidentally, the article almost seems to have been written according to the Alinskite rules we described in our last article on the illegals). Bibi, of course, being sensitive to the plight of the Jewish majority denounced the violent outbreaks of some of the protesters while continuing to talk about his second most favourite subject: the fence along the Israel-Egypt border - which the government has been talking about for over a year (his most favourite topic is, of course, Iran).
Why isn't Obama giving funds to help many of Israel's Jewish Ethiopian community to settle in?* These were refugees airlifted to Israel in several high profile operations and who still face difficulty getting used to a new way of life. Is this because they're Jewish Mr. Obama? Or is it because they're not Muslims hell-bent on jihad?
Where is our government? Where is democracy? Where is KAHANE!?
We will keep you posted on any further developments.
*In reality, Israel doesn't need aid or loans from anyone, and especially not from America while it suffers economic hardship.

Celebrating key communication research contributions to theory, methodology and the history of communication are important. Therefore, submissions dedicated to spotlighting significant communication research and creative contributions inclusive of all methodological perspectives in our discipline are encouraged.
We can create best teaching practices within the discipline and the association. Doing so entails promoting general education programs and communication skills across our planning units. Accordingly, submissions dedicated to communication pedagogy, communication competence, cultural diversity, assessment, instructional innovation and the integration of technology are encouraged.
Service and Creative Collaboration
Service and creative collaboration shape CSCA as we create new ways to serve communities. We must work together as a scholarly community to advocate for the communication discipline and to engage community. Service and creative collaboration help us realize who we are as a community of scholars—we embrace our friendships, colleagues and professional partners. We celebrate our mentors and meet new lifetime friends. Therefore, submissions dedicated to the service contributions of disciplinary advocates and networking opportunities across all planning units are encouraged.

The purchase was perfect. The overnight delivery was great order at 2:00pm Thursday afternoon. Arrived at 8:00am the next morning by courier who rang doorbell till someone answered. I was at work for 2 hours by then woke everyone up in the house it was great. Battery and charger work perfectly. My wife said it was a good buy.

Well - can't better the prompt service you give! The battery arrived in the post the next day. Well done, and hope your business is a great success. As a matter of comparison, before I ordered on-line with you, I had posted an on-line query to another on-line battery seller, and as yet (7 days later !) I still have NOT RECEIVED A REPLY! Congratulations

The service was tremendous, and the value 1st class. I am amazed that such a new battery was in your stock, even the camera retailers had to order the brand battery from Japan, as it was so new, and the camera had only that week been released for sale. Two of your batteries cost me less than 45% of the quoted cost of one single identical Brand battery and from online order to delivery it was only two and a half days and I ordered it on a sunday morning. Have recommended the service to all my friends and family.

I seen a similar effect that used jQuery and thought I would see if I could make it in CSS only.
[So here it is](http://codepen.io/alexmccabe/pen/sfFBi "cool hover")
The HTML could probably be improved upon, and the CSS might be able to be condensed, but it only took me a few minutes. Hope you like it =]

@paulie_d, yeah I tried it but the figcaptions are an odd one to work with. I am gonna keep working on it, and see what I can come up with. But it only took me a few minutes doing it this way.
DeTodo Here is the reverse effect. Basically it works on the opacity of fig caption and the span.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Going to try make this work on my site
I'd love to see it when it's done, and if you get stuck send me a tweet @alexwmccabe
I'm going to try implement it here
Still trying to work out the process in my head, but I'll most probably be taking you up on your offer for help. Very kind of you.
Here's where I am without the span or the extra link.
I'm sure there is a lot that can still be done.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Paulie_D, hmm odd the figcaptions seem to be playing nice for you, but when I tried with it, they seemed to sit way off from the left and top and had to use minus numbers to get them to line up…Thanks =]
DeTodo, I would take Paulie_D's code for use, but, notice the image isn't centered.
Here is the general idea but please bear in mind that improvement can always be made.
See, you've wrapped in a div which isn't really necessary as a figure is just a div with a 'specific' function and so acts the same.
So, once I've defined the width & height I just set a positioning context (relative).
Then, since the figcaption is inside the figure, I can apply absolute positioning (top:0) and it's automatically aligned. Granted you have to make it the same size as the image but having set specific dimensions on the figure and overflow:hidden it won't matter.
Then set the opacity to '0' as you did and transition that on hover.
You can make sure that the cursor can see through the figcaption to the underlying link by using the 'pointer-events' property and so you don't need to link the figcaption text at all.
Is it perfect? Nope, and we're not exactly using the figure element in the way it's supposed to be used but you could replace the figure & figcaption with divs and it would still work..you'd just need a couple of extra classes.
This reply has been reported for inappropriate content.
Paulie_D, you are a star. I don't actually have a use for this, I did it because I could, but you have bettered me. I knew it could be, but thank you =]

Dendreon Increases on Report It's Seeking Takeover Offers
Meg TirrellDendreon Corp., the maker of the prostate-cancer drug Provenge, gained the most in about three months after Bloomberg News reported the company is seeking a buyer.
Dendreon jumped 11 percent to $2.81 at the close in New York, its biggest single-day increase since Aug. 5. The shares of the Seattle-based company have declined 47 percent this year.
Dendreon is working with JPMorgan Chase & Co. to find suitors, according to a person familiar with the matter, Bloomberg News reported Oct. 25. The company, whose market value once topped $7 billion, has failed to meet expectations for sales of Provenge, and its market capitalization hovered at about $400 million before the report.
"We view this as both plausible and sensible, as the company seeks a way out of the $647 million convertible debt noose tied around its neck," Lee Kalowski, an analyst with Credit Suisse, wrote in an Oct. 27 research note. "But Dendreon is facing notable commercial and financial struggles and we don't foresee a big bidding war."
Dendreon said in early August that sales of Provenge, its sole marketed product, wouldn't increase this year as forecast. When the treatment won approval in 2010, analysts projected the drug could generate $4.3 billion in sales by 2020. Today the estimate for that period has shrunk to $476.5 million.
Dendreon, led by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John Johnson, has burned through money for at least six straight quarters. Cash and short-term investments had dropped to $207.4 million as of June from $538.6 million at the end of 2011.
Andy Brimmer, a spokesman for Dendreon with Joele Frank Wilkinson Brimmer Katcher, on Oct. 25 declined to comment on any sale process. A JPMorgan spokeswoman also declined to comment.

Hilarious. Where's that dividing line? I graduated from law school in 1997. I got my first laptop in 1995, but no one, and I mean, no one, brought them to class back then.
I guess I'm on that side of the line of old. If I could get through law school without a lap top in class, so can you. - 2/25/11, 2:45 PM

The left (read "Democrats") is frightened, so scared right now - irrationally so, if they would but take a deep breath and actually think logically - that it is approaching the tipping point of obscurity. The overreaching by the left is shocking in it's daily growth - you would think someone would step back and realize the American people in growing numbers are turning away in disgust.
And all without any help from Conservatives and Independents.
I have never been more hopeful for my country! - 2/25/11, 2:57 PM

City Fires Every School Teacher
The Providence school board voted to dismiss every one of the city's 1,926 public school teachers, the Providence Journal reports.
They won't all ultimately lose their jobs, but the move gives the board "maximum flexibility" to make budget cuts.
"Teachers begged the School Board to issue layoffs rather than fire them outright because, under the layoff provisions, teachers are recalled based on seniority. There is no guarantee that seniority would be used to bring back any of the fired teachers. School leaders have been vague about exactly how seniority will play out in the case of terminations."

My senior year of high school I took the last slide rule class ever, and it was mandatory for my path. We were instructed to check our work with hand held calculators that had just come out, were the size of bricks, and cost about $100.
Nobody cried when they took the slide rules away. But they had a very small carbon footprint and were powered by flop sweat.
A slide rule did not support social networking, and tended to inhibit developing one. - 2/25/11, 4:24 PM

The sciences usually permitted the use of calculators for tests, and I found them very helpful by writing formulas and other cheat sheet stuff all over mine in very small print. Wonderful devices, but nowhere the cheating tool of a laptop. With a laptop I'd be a genius. Lots more space to write stuff on the outside.

An HP-35 cost $400 in 1974, and that was a lot of money then.

@Joe, I'm the opposite of you. When I went to college in the 80s, my handwriting was terribly slow and messy, and I tended to suffer on essay exams. I could type, though, at 100 wpm or so, because that's how I made money. No doubt that's partly why my handwriting atrophied, and it's worse today than back then.
The Luddite hatred for laptops is stupid. We should really be making all grade-school students take a typing class. - 2/25/11, 4:59 PM

I'm a strict pen-and-paper girl but I have no qualms whatsoever with my fellow students using their laptops to chat or facebook instead of taking notes. Better grading curves for me.

My first laptop was about the size of of two shoeboxes. A home made 80286 with a monochrome screen on one side and a removeable keyborad on the other. It only had text based DOS (no gui or windows). It had a big handle on the top and weighed about 15 pounds. It was really a portable desktop computer, and it worked great. I developed and implemented my company's entire inventory and accounting system on it via many late nights staring at that screen and drinking Rum and coke till the wee hours.
We ran procedures that ran all night long till the next day to completely update a database. The same thing would take about 5 minutes today.
I don't remember anyone ever predicting the way we use computers today very accurately. The anticipated stuff was like having them run your home, or talk to you, but stuff like, youtube, facebook or blogging was never anticipated then. - 2/25/11, 7:26 PM

In the late 60's, when I was in law school, we got them to allow a typewriter room for exams. Whew. I could type faster than I could write, and my handwriting was God Awful. Made my career.

(The Crypto Jew)
My typing is so awful and slow that I could ONLY use paper and pen to take notes….I like the outline form
And the like and there's no way I could format and type and listen and put it down on "paper" took me about 2-3 minutes of wrastl'n the PC just to get this typed out.
You might want to try a Tablet PC (a real Tablet PC running Windows 7, not an iPad) running Microsoft OneNote.
OneNote is to me a kinda odd program if you've got a plain old laptop. It's an interesting way to organize your notes, but you can do a lot of the same with just a word processor.
But with a Tablet PC, OneNote is like a super-intelligent legal pad. You write on it with a pen, just like with a legal pad; but behind the scenes, One Note does text recognition and image analysis on your hand-written notes. So you can do text searches in your notes, and you can convert your notes into typed text. Plus it inherently understands your outline format. It's really, really cool.
Another feature of OneNote: if you're in a meeting or a class and you're authorized for audio recording (big if), it will record audio of the meeting and it will synch the recording to your hand-written notes. So later, you can highlight a point in your notes and review the audio for that point. And they thought of something brilliant, something I would've never thought of: the audio plays back from a few seconds before your note. More than likely that's the right place for the audio that led you to make that note.
If I were a university student today and the professor tried to take ban my Tablet and OneNote, that would be grounds for me to choose another class. Maybe another school. It's the ultimate note-taking tool. - 2/25/11, 11:17 PM
- TWM said...
Are laptops the problem or is it Internet access? Seems to me that blocking the Internet in classrooms would solve many of the problems (chatting, emailing, surfing the web).
I only say this because, like Bob, I had really bad handwriting and it was a chore to keep up with note-taking in a fast pace class. - 2/26/11, 7:20 AM
- realwest said...
Ha, when I went to law school in 1970 they didn't even have PC's, much less laptops!
All I hadda do was sharpen up a set of chisels and make sure to take enough stone tablets and I was ready to go!! - 2/26/11, 10:19 AM

It's back! After a wait that seemed liable to never end, Game of Thrones has finally returned to our television screens. And what a return it was! Read my thoughts on tonight's season 3 premiere episode after the break.
Spoiler Note: This post is for those who have read A Storm of Swords. As such the post itself and the comments will contain spoilers. If you haven't read ASoS yet, you can discuss this episode in our non-book reader recap. Thanks!
Let's kick it off with a quick summary of the action in this episode. It opens on Sam running through the snow only to be set up by an ax-wielding wight. Just when it seems like we've seen the end of Sam, he gets help from an unlikely source. Namely Ghost and Commander Mormont. What is left of the Night's Watch is there, Mormont gives them a cheerful pep talk. "If we don't make it back to the Wall, everyone you ever know will be dead!"
Staying beyond the Wall, Jon Snow meets his first giant and Giantsbane. But more importantly, he is introduced to the King beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder. Mance tests Jon to find out if he really has turned cloak and seems to be satisfied with his answer.
To the Riverlands now, Robb and his army arrive in Harrenhal where things have gone from worse to horrendous. After surveying the damage, Robb manages to find a survivor in the carnage, a maester named Qyburn.
In King's Landing, Tyrion is trying to get accustomed to his new position while Cersei seems to be enjoying it. Tyrion hopes to earn some respect and favor from his father, but is cruelly rebuffed. Maybe if he was a spunky cup bearer Tywin would like him a bit better? Down at the docks, Sansa and Shae pass the time until Littlefinger arrives to creepily offer to help Sansa escape. Elsewhere in the city, Margaery is showing herself to be quite the charitable queen-to-be. The Queen Regent, however, is not impressed.
Meanwhile, a stranded smuggler is saved by Salladhor Saan. Davos convinces the pirate to take him back to Dragonstone, where he hopes to talk some sense into Stannis and/or kill the Red Woman. He manages to do neither and gets himself thrown into the dungeon for his efforts.
Lastly, across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys's dragons have grown and apparently have become experts at fishing. Dany and Jorah end up in Astapor, where they hope to acquire an army of Unsullied. After some deliberation and nipple-cutting, Dany decides to sleep on it. But before she can get any shut-eye, she finds herself staring into the face of a manticore, courtesy of the warlocks of Qarth. Lucky for her, she has a family friend nearby, auditioning to be in her Queensguard. It is none other than Barristan Selmy.
What I Liked
Thrones is back! – I don't know about you, but just being back in Westeros with these characters, made watching this premiere episode so enjoyable.
Dinner time with the King – I loved the dinner table scene with Margaery, Loras, Joffrey and Cersei. It reminded me of Downton Abbey, the way the conversation remains polite yet there are obvious moves being made behind the forced smiles and empty compliments. I especially love the rivalry that is already building between Marg and Cersei.
A Giant! – How cool was that? Loved getting our first glimpse at a giant.
Tyrion has Daddy Issues – Wow, what a scene. You could feel the contempt oozing off of Tywin and see Tyrion's bitterness grow. Just some superb acting by Charles Dance and Peter Dinklage.
No Arstan, No Problem – Loved that final scene. Some good action and the warlock was sufficiently creepy. Also, I thought having Barristan reveal his identity right away was a good change. There was just no way to conceal it for a season or more, perceptive viewers would have picked up on it and the fact that it wouldn't be acknowledged at all on screen would just have been confusing. Plus his reveal was epic.
What I Didn't Like
The Cold Open Leaves Me Cold – Ok, I get that budget constraints means they couldn't show a full-on battle. But did anyone else think just having the Night's Watch stand around with no Walkers or wights in sight was a little cheesy? Last we saw there were hundreds and hundreds of undead descending on the Watch. Did they defeat them all? Did they decide to leave them alone for a bit? I don't know. Oh, and there had better be some slaying going on later this season…
Overall, I thought it was a great episode. Probably the best premiere episode yet. What did everyone else think?

(Bloomberg ) Samsung Venture Investment Corp. (005930) bought a stake in Canadian security software maker Fixmo Inc. to extend the Asian company's growth with business and government clients traditionally served by Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM)
Samsung Ventures, which invests on behalf of Suwon, South Korea-based smartphone maker Samsung Electronics Co. and other parts of the Samsung group of companies, is making the investment in return for a "small" equity stake, Fixmo Chief Executive Officer Rick Segal said in a phone interview. He declined to disclose exactly how much Samsung invested. Nam Ki Yung, a spokesman for Samsung Electronics, declined to comment.
The investment shows that "Samsung is getting very serious about taking on RIM in their own backyard, in government and enterprise," Segal, who founded Fixmo, said yesterday. RIM is based in Waterloo, Ontario.
Samsung is looking to replicate the success it's had with consumers among businesspeople as more workers use their own devices instead of company-issued phones. Operating profit at Samsung, the biggest maker of devices on Google Inc. (GOOG)'s Android platform, jumped 89 percent last quarter to 8.8 trillion won ($8.3 billion), paced by sales of its Galaxy smartphones.
RIM is counting on its new BlackBerry 10 smartphones, set to debut Jan. 30, to trigger a wave of upgrades from lawyers, bankers and public servants faithful to their BlackBerrys. The company was poised to finish 2012 with a 4.7 percent share of the global smartphone market, hurt by an aging smartphone lineup, market researcher IDC said last month. Android had about 68 percent market share.
RIM is also wooing companies with features such as BlackBerry Balance, which allows users to operate two versions of their device for work and personal life that separately quarantine e-mail, applications and other data.
Security Software
Fixmo sells security software including Sentinel and SafeZone it has developed with the U.S. National Security Agency to bolster device safety. The Toronto-based company secured $23 million from investors including Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers in 2011 and has secured more than $40 million in investment to date, Segal said.
"Samsung is looking at companies like us to give them insight but more importantly to lay down those strategic markers in areas like security and storage," he said.

Celina Jaitley's love for Dogs
Perhaps it is rightly said that if you don't have a boyfriend, better get yourself a dog.
This seems to be true in the case of the much-single actress Celina Jaitley , who has made another addition to her brood of pets.
Celina has been a pet lover since her childhood. And for last few years she has kept two dogs – a cocker spaniel named Heineken, and a terrier named Tea Cup who, in Celina's words, looks more like a fox than a dog.
Now the actress has got herself a new pet, a Maltese miniature called Gooblee. The nine-inch dog is reportedly a gift from a business partner of Celina's dad in Singapore. Celina has become so fond of this new pet that she doesn't seem to be having enough of it.
Celina is also a PETA activist who has been doing her bit for the welfare of animals, particularly elephants, for last one year.
In Bollywood, she would next be seen in the comedy film Money Hai Toh Honey Hai .

By Tiernan Ray
Credit Suisse's Randy Abram's today raised his rating on the ordinary shares of contract semiconductor manufacturer United Microelectronics (UMC) from Neutral to Outperform, and raised his price target in New Taiwan dollars to $17.50 from $16.50, writing that the company should see its profit margin rebound as utilization of its fabs improves amidst tightening foundry supply.
A number of trends in tight capacity and new product introductions are set to lift the business, writes Abrams:
UMC is benefitting from TSMC's full capacity on 28/40nm, Samsung's strong demand from Apple and its own processor, and SMIC's need to spend low capex to rebuild a sustainable and profitable model. We believe UMC is getting notable second source business in 2H12 from baseband, HDD and connectivity. Notably, the comms drag is ending, as TI's baseband exit is largely done, Mediatek is accelerating transition to smartphones, Infineon's iPhone loss has played out and Qualcomm and Broadcom are qualifying more at UMC.
Abrams is modeling $109.82 billion in revenue this year, in New Taiwan dollars, which is a little less than the consensus revenue estimate of $110.8 billion. Hwoever, his EPS estimate for 85 cents per ordinary share, although down from a prior estimate of 90 cents, is above the 81-cent average estimate on the Street.
Abrams's estiamte for this year's gross margin is 21.1%, up from a prior 20.4% estimate. He models an 8% operating margin, up from 6.9% estimated previously. That is slightly ahead of the Street consensus for 7.9%.
United's ordinary shares (2303TW) traded in Taipei closed down 15 cents today, or 1%, at $13.85. The American Depository Receipts are down a penny at $2.45.

Thin LineGrossI'm not one to care about whether a politician cheats on his or her spouse. Truly, I suspect lots of them do—along with all kinds of regular people. Every journalist knows the rules. "You can't interview your friends and family," was one of the first things we told new writers at my college paper. You should also maybe mention when the mayor you write copy about is also your lover. For instance, when you're reporting on his separation from his wife of 20 years. Telemundo newscaster Mirthala Salinas had an affair with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. (That's a whole other kind of coverage. Zing!) And the villagers whisper, "scandal, scandal, scandal." The really surprising thing is that she wasn't fired for her ethical breach. It was announced at the beginning of this month that she would be suspended for two months instead. Everyone's blaming Salinas for punching holes in the station's credibility, but I'd say that light slap on the wrist rips gashes in the hull more than her actions ever could. GrosserThe news releases come in every day: Politician X Kisses Babies, Cures Illnesses Using superpowers and mad science, Politician X can cure children of the common cold. "Given the nature of the common cold and the great need for nationalized health care in our society, I find my considerable healing skills are invaluable— Yeah. Sure he did. Sure he just said that, whipping off that sentence as he rushed down the hall for a warm up at the coffee machine. Sure his flak or his speech writer didn't type that up and insert it into the release. Quotes are sacred. They should embrace only those sentences that were actually uttered. Now, no journalist wants to use the quotes that come in news releases and most writers should cite it when a quote gets lifted from one. But some days, Politician X just won't call you back. Even I've been known to use the news release quote (cited, of course) a time or two. But no more. I hereby vow to stop using fake news release quotes and urge readers to look down their noses at that familiar phrase: Politician X said in a news release. GrossestJournalists go to jail for protecting sources, and you'll see some version of the story in almost every paper in the country. Chauncey Bailey, editor of the Oakland Post was shot and killed in broad daylight, possibly by a member of a group he was investigating, according to his fiancé, Deborah Oduwa. And where is everyone? California media is all over it. The Washington Post had an interesting story about black activist groups gone awry and how that might have played a role in Bailey's death. The New York Times mentioned something, but it seems that few other outlets did. Bailey sacrificed his life to his craft, his fearlessness prompting him to write on topics others wouldn't touch.

French coach Troussier and wife convert to Islam Frenchman Philippe Troussier and his wife Dominique have converted to Islam in the Moroccan capital where they live, sources close to the couple confirmed. Troussier is no longer Philippe, he has taken the name Omar and his wife is no longer Dominique but Amina," the French-Moroccan daily L'Opinion reported Thursday. "Welcome Omar and Amina to the Kingdom of the All Powerful, the Kingdom of the Truth," L'Opinion wrote, hailing the conversion as "a magnificent and wonderful surprise". http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060323/sp_soccer_afp/fblframar islam_060323191746 |

Five local high school seniors who designed and painted safety-themed panels for a Bustleton firehouse were treated to some pizza, soda, hoagies and thanks.
Lt. Wally Webber of Engine 62 and Ladder 34 at Bustleton Avenue and Bowler Street said he had asked art teacher Jamie Ulkloss and her Philadelphia Academy Charter High School students to come up with painted panels for the firehouse to replace four tiles that had faded over the years.
The request was made in October, said Ulkloss. Four painted wood panels with fire prevention themes signed by seniors Alejandra Londono, Josephine Rhoades, Brandon Schwartz, Luke Quinn and Alexa Livingston were installed Jan. 15, Webber said.
The acrylic-painted wood panels can be seen on the Bowler Street side of the building, where they are permanently affixed.
Ulkloss said her students brainstormed to come up with the ideas, and they designed each brightly colored panel themselves.
The top left panel is a representation of the Philadelphia Fire Department insignia. The top right contains the familiar images of a fire truck, a Dalmatian and a fire plug. It's also signed by the artists. The bottom left panel has advice on what to do in a fire along with the image of a smoke detector. The final panel is instruction on how to use a fire extinguisher.
Ulkloss said the four painted panels were covered with clear varnish to protect them from the elements
"It took forever to finish," Livingston said during lunch inside the firehouse Jan. 23.
After all, creativity takes time. Rhoades said the students worked 55 minutes at a time over two months to complete the panels. Hurricane Sandy put the artists a week behind.
Creativity also required some redesigning and some extra paint, too.
Mistakes and abandoned designs were whited out and repainted, Quinn said. But there were other matters.
"Josey was always getting paint all over herself," the other artists said of Rhoades.
The students' lunch with firefighters also was attended by Ulkloss, principal Megan Simmons and school CEO Larry Sperling. And, of course, it was interrupted briefly, but perhaps not unexpectedly, by a call that almost emptied the station. ••

School Grant Selection Team – Working with the County Office of Education, Chargers Champions sought to identify the important backgrounds necessary to fairly evaluate all proposals received and to ensure a good cross background of business, community, fitness and athletic educators, as well as school administrators. From their recommendations the Chargers Champions School Selection Team was formed.
The Selection Team meets as a group and reviews all grant submissions that have passed the first round review. This first round review checks to be sure that applications are complete and have been submitted properly, and that the grant proposal meets the stated guidelines of the program. Partially completed grant applications or applications with missing information are not considered.
The Selection Team then reviews each remaining application on its own merits and selects a group of finalists. After the finalists have been selected, site visits are scheduled to ensure accuracy of grant applications before finalizing decisions on grant awards.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
TPM Interview: Ex-Sheriff Says He Was Wrong About Bundy Ranch's Human Shields
TPM: First, I wanted to ask how you heard about Bundy Ranch and why it interested you.
Richard Mack: There's probably not too many people there who could say this, but I've known the Bundys for about 20 years. It's because of my involvement in the freedom movement. I was asked to speak at a lot of land rights and states' rights meetings, and Clive Bundy was there.
Could you talk a little bit about what you found when you got up there?
One of our CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association, which Mack founded) members who was there earlier and got there before I did was phoning me and telling me that they were going to be killed. The federal snipers, several of them -- I don't know if you know this -- but they were paid mercenaries. They're contractors. They're paid hit men.
He saw all the equipment and all the military weaponry that they had, and then he said, 'Sheriff, they warned us that they were going to arrest us. Then they warned us that they were going to shoot us. I'm calling to tell you that they're going to shoot us.' He's a 15-year law enforcement veteran that was telling me this. He said, 'Please tell my wife that I love her, and I hope to see you later, but I don't think so.'
I, at that time, went around the two lanes of traffic onto the side of the road, which is illegal to do, and I turned on my flashers. I buzzed it up there, and I got there right after that part finished, where my guy was that called me. The sheriff had just left, and he was the one that I think made a big difference.
All the people that were there watching, it was about 600, 700 people. My son and I stood there and watched in reverence at one of the most patriotic moments I've ever been a part of. There was about 500 people, all with tears running down their cheeks, watching these cowboys and cowgirls take these cattle back to their proper place.
So had the situation more or less diffused by the time you got there?
Um, mostly. Yeah, I would say mostly. There were still a couple of tense moments. All the agents hadn't left yet. It looked like they were still trying to get in the way a little bit. But there were a couple of deputy sheriffs there watching them, and they pulled back. They definitely pulled back.
So either while you were there or in talking to other people, did they also give the impression or did you get the impression that it was a life-or-death situation?
Yes. One of the reporters from Fox, he was more of a camera man but he had a lot of other capability, he was going around with a camera, and he said, 'There was no question in my mind that they were going to shoot us.'
And that seemed to be shared by everybody that was there?
Everybody that was there thought the same thing, including the women.
One thing that interested me is your idea that this is a pattern following Waco, Ruby Ridge, Kent State. That this all fits in a broader narrative, and the Bundy Ranch situation was one piece of a larger story. Could you elaborate on what you see that larger narrative as?
The federal government has been turning off the water to farms in California. The George Bush administration turned off the water in the Klamath Falls Basin in Oregon. Destroying farms and ranchers and mining and logging has been an agenda item with Republican and Democrat presidents and administrations. So we're just baffled at all of that.
Most Republicans and Democrats have had the same agenda: to diminish the food supply, to go after farmers and ranchers, put them out of business with impunity. Not caring one iota that when they turned off the water to Napa Valley, that affected such a huge part of our food supply, raised the prices of fruits, vegetables and nuts, 50 percent for the entire country. They don't care. I just wonder how these presidents say they're trying to promote industry in this country, and they're shutting it down all the time.
I just don't get these liars, and their feet aren't held to the fire by the national media. Even though some of these media sources actually showed what was happening in Klamath Falls and San Joaquin Valley, and yet nothing happened. I made an announcement that the sheriffs in California should have just gone up to the base of that dam where they shut off the water and turn it on. They can take a court order if they wanted to, but if the judge won't back them up on it, just go do it anyway.
Take care of your people. Restore the water. People can't live without water. Put these people back to work and help America all at the same time. It is the federal government that keeps shutting everybody down. And it is the federal government that has shut down 53 ranchers in Clark County (Nev.) alone, except for Mr. Bundy. He's the 53rd. He's the last one standing.
People, I cannot believe, support this government in any way, shape or form. Anybody who supports that is a crook and a traitor and ought to be sent to Guantanamo Bay.
And you really think the government would be willing to kill people to advance their agenda?
They have before and they will again. As a law enforcement officer looking at all this, people don't like to get dressed up for the dance and not be able to dance. They wanted to dance.
I saw your comments about strategizing to put the women up at the front, in case they did start firing it'd be women who were getting shot. I wanted to ask where you got that idea in the first place and why you thought it was a good idea.
I never thought it was a good idea. I was kind of surprised by the fact that they did. The mistake I made was it was never a strategy. It was never strategized. It was never talked about. The women just did it. I was never privy to that, so I thought they did strategize that. I thought that would be the only way they would send women up to the front.
I didn't suggest it. I didn't want it. I was surprised to see it. When I found out, I was really shocked that they had just gone on their own.
Because what I saw was you're saying "We were strategizing."
That's what I thought happened, but I was wrong. But there is no question the women were there on every threat that was there with the cowboys and the one that was going to get shot as they went up to the corral to let the cows out. There were women right there.
The other thing I had seen was your saying that you had sources in the federal government who said there was still a raid being planned, that this wasn't over. I wanted to confirm that that was true and ask why you think people within the federal government would tell you that.
Because they're really upset about the way the Bundys are being treated and by the underhanded nature of this entire siege. One cop and one federal cop have told us some of the things that they've overheard and that they've been privy to. And they don't mind telling us because they don't like what's going on.
Have they given you any more details beyond that a raid would still happen?
No. In fact, the word is since we exposed it publicly that they're going back to the drawing board.
So to wrap it up, do you think this is over then?
No. No, it's not. We certainly won a round here, maybe one of the little battles. And I would hope it would be over. I've asked the federal agents to refuse to go back there, to lay down their arms.
They have to be better people than that, to allow their supervisors and this government to put them in a position of shooting law-abiding Americans and to cause another incident like that and to have their names associated with such a disaster and catastrophe. I just can't believe that they could do that. For a paycheck or a pension, you would be willing to do that? I can't believe that they would.
Please, put your arms down and go home and tell your supervisors that you won't go do something like that.
Do you think, in this situation or another, that bloodshed is inevitable, based on what we've seen in the last week or so?
I've dedicated my life to avoiding and preventing the bloodshed that the federal government keeps pushing the envelope on.
I would love for federal bureaucracies to follow the law and follow the Constitution, but they don't. I would love the IRS to stop violating the constitutional rights of Americans. Stop the random audits. Stop the monitoring. Stop the checking, putting innocent people in prisons like they've done for decades. I would love the NSA to stop doing the illegal wiretapping and monitoring every fax and computer and phone transmission. I would love our federal government to follow the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
But they're not going to. The track record and the history of all of this shows that they won't. That is what's frustrating the American people, that we can't have our own government follow the rules.
