For decades, corporate leaders, politicians and many educators have asserted that, in our emerging information-based economy, essentially everyone will require a post-secondary degree in order to earn middle-class wages.
However, Labor Department forecasts consistently show that – for the foreseeable future – more than half of all U.s. jobs will continue to require no more than a high school education! At the same time, job content analysis has shown that, from now on, ALL work will require a new set of "higher order cognitive skills," including: systems thinking • problem analysis • team work • numeracy, applied creativity & Internet mastery.
David Pearce Snyder is a data-based forecaster whose thousands of seminars and workshops on strategic thinking have been attended by representatives from most of the Fortune 500 companies, as well as hundreds of agencies at all levels of government, educational institutions, professional societies and trade associations.
Before entering private practice as a consulting futurist in 1981, Mr. Snyder was Chief of Information Systems, and later, Senior Planning Officer for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, where he designed and managed the IRS Strategic Planning System. He was also a consultant to the RAND Corporation, and has served as an instructor for the Federal Executive Institute, and for Congressional and White House staff development programs.

It took much of the last century to demonstrate that our genus, Homo, descended from Australopithecus. By the 1960s, biomolecular work had demonstrated that our closest living relatives are the African apes—gorillas and chimpanzees. However, the precursor of Australopithecus remained unknown until a series of discoveries that began in the 1990s and continue to this day. These African fossils belong to the genus Ardipithecus, a facultatively bipedal, small-brained, woodland dweller now known from fossils recovered in Tchad, Ethiopia, and Kenya. How were these fossils found?
Tim White directs the Human Evolution Research Center at UC Berkeley where he also is a Professor of Integrative Biology and Curator of Biological Anthropology at the Phoebe A.

What is the origin of life? How did life begin? Is there life on other planets? Are we alone? These are questions which have been asked for thousands of years. The first steps toward life began in a state of disequilibrium whereas the chemicals for life came from the stars and were churned together in deep sea thermal vents. Viruses may have served as mobile RNA worlds, injecting the necessary genetic elements into proto-cells thereby fashioning the first living cell.
Michael Russell's research into the emergence of life and early evolution will help determine whether earth alone supports life in our universe. He theorizes that oxygenic photosynthesis, acting upon iron sulfide deposits in volcanic, oceanic vents, allowed the precursors of protein and RNA to form. Dr. Russell's study of 360-million-year-old mineral deposits in Ireland led to the insight that iron sulphite cells may have provided three-dimensional molds for the first cell walls.

For more than eighty years, brilliant and eccentric scientists around the world have been searching for the incredibly small bits of matter we call neutrinos. Trillions of these ghostly particles pass through our bodies every second, but they are so pathologically shy that neutrino hunters have to use Olympic-size pools deep underground and a gigantic cube of Antarctic ice to catch just a handful. Neutrinos may hold the secrets to the nature of antimatter and what the universe was like just seconds after the big bang, but they are extremely elusive and difficult to pin down—much like the adventurous scientists who doggedly pursue them.

Oxide thin films are finding applications in a wide range of energy technologies, from ion conductors through photovoltaics and thermoelectrics to dielectrics and capacitors. Each of these energy technologies requires a thorough understanding of the materials chemistry of the oxide film and its interactions with the environment, substrate etc. Whilst in each technology area there may be materials differences, much of the materials chemistry optimisation may be common. For example, common families of oxides are employed, ABO3 perovskites in particular, and in this there are areas where discussion between user communities can prove mutually beneficial. It is the purpose of this meeting to foster an exchange of ideas between the relevant energy themes with the overall aim of provoking extensive discussion of the advances that materials chemistry can make in thin film energy applications.

Saladin c. 1138-1193
Kurdish Muslim leader, Sultan of Egypt and Syria.
Born in Tikrīt, Iraq, Saladin (also written as Salâh ed Dîn or Salah ed-Din Yusuf) rose to power during the time of the Second and Third Crusades. He gained a reputation as a superior general, and contemporary accounts by Frankish and Arabic sources credit Saladin with being merciful and fair. His name is most widely recognized among Westerners for his military engagement with King Richard I during the Third Crusade. Among Muslims, he has often been viewed as a hero of Islam for his efforts to unite the Islamic states culminating in the capture of Jerusalem in 1187. Others, Muslims and Westerners alike, believe that despite Saladin's devout claims, his actions were aimed at consolidating and increasing his personal power.
At age fourteen, Saladin entered into the service of Syrian ruler Nur ad-Din. In 1164, Nur ad-Din sent Saladin on a series of military expeditions aimed at assisting the Egyptian Fatmid rulers in defending themselves against the attacks of the Crusaders. Saladin's efforts in these campaigns were highly successful. By 1169, Saladin had become the commander in chief of the Syrian army, as well as the vizier of Egypt. Having defended Egypt against the Crusaders, Saladin now went on the attack against them. Following Nur ad-Din's death in 1174, Saladin expanded his power in both Syria and Mesopotamia. In 1187 Saladin's armies captured Jerusalem. Two years later, the Third Crusade was launched, forcing Saladin to defend his territory. King Richard I of England was successful in overtaking some of Saladin's strongholds, including Acre in 1191. In 1192, Saladin and Richard reached an armistice agreement that allowed the Crusaders control over cities along the Palestinian-Syrian coast. Saladin and the Muslims, however, retained control over the city the Crusaders most longed for—Jerusalem. Saladin died in 1193.
Saladin scholarship focuses largely on evaluations of the contemporary source material about Saladin's life, and assessments of Saladin's military efficacy, motivation, reputation, and legacy. Hamilton A. R. Gibb offers a ranking and analysis of contemporary Arabic sources that focus on the life of Saladin. Gibb maintains that the two best sources are the extant texts composed by 'Imâdeddîn of Isfahân, and the Life of Saladin by Bahâeddin Ibn Shaddad. Gibb also concludes that one of the most respected sources, the history el-Kâmil by 'Izzeddîn Ibn el-Athîr, should no longer be regarded as the views "of a well-informed contemporary chronicler." Yaacov Lev examines how contemporary politics influenced Saladin's historian-admirers—Qadi al Fadil, 'Imad al-Din al-Isfahani, Ibn Shaddad, and Ibn el-Athîr—and affected their assessment of Saladin. Additionally, Lev discusses the cultural and religious biases that perhaps affected the biographers' views of Saladin. While Gibb and Lev study contemporary Arabic sources, C. R. Conder analyzes one such source—the account of Saladin's activities written by Saladin's friend Boha ed-Dîn—and Geoffrey de Vinsauf's account of the same events from the Frankish point of view. Both accounts, Conder observes, are in complete accordance on the main facts pertaining to the Third Crusade. Other critics have centered their studies on the way in which contemporary sources have been utilized or ignored by modern writers. An anonymous critic for the Quarterly Review argues that nineteenth-century English readers suffered from a lack of an accurate account of "Mohammedan history" written by a western author. The critic goes on to discuss the wealth of information about Saladin available from Arabic sources. Stanley Lane-Poole examines how Saladin legends, which appear in early French romances, influenced nineteenth-century romances such as Sir Walter Scott's The Talisman (1825). Lane-Poole demonstrates how Scott's and other literary treatments of Saladin include factual inaccuracies as well as insights into Saladin's character.
In evaluating and discussing Saladin's rise to power and his military and political achievements, some critics offer a favorable assessment of Saladin's character and motivations. Dana Carleton Munro offers a detailed account of Saladin's military conquests, and notes that Saladin treated Christian prisoners mercifully, and that he allowed Christian pilgrims access to Jerusalem. Steve Runciman characterizes Saladin as a devout Muslim, and comments that Saladin is as much admired in modern times as he was by his contemporaries. Like Munro, Runciman observes that Saladin showed "mercy and charity" to his defeated enemies. Similarly, Hamilton A. R. Gibb analyzes Saladin's activities and possible motivations. Gibb argues that Saladin's goals were to drive the Franks from Palestine and Syria, and to unite the Islamic states. Gibb praises Saladin as a man who stood for a "moral ideal"; Saladin expressed "this moral ideal in his own life and action," thereby creating "an impulse to unity." While these critics emphasize Saladin's religious motivation, his mercy, and his morality, others question—rather than praise—these qualities and impulses. Hilaire Belloc states that Saladin condemned enemies to torture and death, and remained "indifferent" to the suffering of these individuals. Belloc also describes Saladin as "fanatically anti-Christian." Malcolm Cameron Lyons and D. E. P. Jackson point out that Saladin was both admired and reviled by his Muslim contemporaries; some Muslims accused him of using the unification of Islam as a ruse for his quest for personal power. Still other critics have attempted analyses that avoid discussion of personal characteristics and motivation altogether. R. Stephen Humphreys offers a detailed examination of the political structure under which Saladin operated. Humphreys demonstrates how the territories brought together by Saladin functioned as a political system which was shaped by a network of loyalties Saladin had cultivated. Andrew S. Ehrenkreutz criticizes Gibb's and other "romantic" assessments of Saladin's achievements, and his own analysis of Saladin's early career does not focus on Saladin's devotion to Islam or to the holy war against the Crusaders. Ehrenkreutz goes on to discuss Saladin's military and diplomatic accomplishments, as well as his shortcomings as a leader. D. S. Richards in his study of Saladin's career, finds much to criticize in Ehrenkreutz's work. Richards claims that Ehrenkreutz's analysis is full of inaccuracies, as well as "slanted or unsupportable interpretations of texts." Richards concludes that while Gibb's portrait of Saladin may seem at first "too good to be true," it is preferable to Ehrenkreutz's faulty account.

[In the following essay, Conder reviews the pre-history and military details of the Third Crusade, emphasizing the achievements of King Richard I. Conder notes that in accounts of the Crusade by Frankish and Muslim authors, both Saladin and Richard are praised and respected.]
It is not often that so complete a double account of a great struggle can be found in medieval history as that which exists regarding the third crusade, of which the opposing heroes were Saladin and Richard Lion Heart. On the Frankish side Geoffrey de Vinsauf gives us a vivid description of the expedition in which he took part; and on the Moslem side Boha ed Dîn, Kâdy of Jerusalem, relates the life of his friend and patron, Salâh ed Dîn, the "honour of the Faith." Though tinged by admiration of their respective masters, these two works are so completely in accord as to the main facts that we are able to form an impartial estimate of events, while the details are in either case so full, and so easily understood by the light of recent exploration, that we can trace every movement on the ground, and are able to recognise the battle-fields of the hard-fought campaigns in which Palestine was lost to Christendom, and again recovered, in part, by English arms....

[In the following essay, Munro offers an account of Saladin's rise to power and discusses his capture of Jerusalem and truce with the Christians.]
From all those engaged in the crusading wars romance has singled out Saladin as its own particular hero, with Richard the Lion-Hearted as a poor second. The choice was a natural one, for Saladin had the qualities which commended him to both Christian and Muslim. He did not have the broad tolerance in religion with which Lessing endowed him in Nathan der Weise: no Muslim leader could have had this tolerance; some of the Christian leaders in the Crusades came nearer to it through their acquaintance with the many religions they found in the Holy Land, and through their disillusionment with their own narrow inherited faith. Saladin did have the virtues of generosity and courtesy, with which Scott, following the example of medieval Christian writers, depicted him in The Talisman. He won the admiration of followers and enemies by his bravery. He never broke his word, a virtue which his opponents made use of, but did not imitate. Although he could be stern in his vengeance on occasion, he was usually merciful, and in this respect his character shines brilliantly against the barbaric background of the age. Many examples are recorded of...

The attack of Europe upon the Asiatic is over and has failed. The rest of the story is but one thing. It is the mortal sickness and death of the Crusading State.
The breakdown of the expedition against Damascus, "The Defeat of the Second Crusade," marks the outward visible manifestation of that inward ruin of the Christian Kingdom—the potential, impending ruin of it—which could be instinctively felt throughout the Holy Land ever since the fall of Edessa and even earlier: from the moment when the personality of Zengi had been thrown into the scales and when the unification of Moslem power against the now fated Christian effort had begun.

[In the following essay, Gibb examines the style, content, and historical accuracy and value of several contemporary Arabic sources of the life of Saladin.]
All historians who have studied the life of Saladin have given the first place to two Arabic sources: the Life of Saladin by Bahâeddîn Ibn Shaddâd (translated in Volume III of the Recueil des Historiens des Croisades: Historiens Orientaux), and the universal history, el-Kâmil, of 'Izzeddîn Ibn el-Athîr (partially translated in Volumes I and II, 1, in the same series). As to the authority and reliability of the former, little can now be added to the testimony of Stanley Lane-Poole in his preface (p. vi) to Saladin, in the 'Heroes of the Nations' series (London and New York, 1898). Bahâeddîn (1145-1234) writes with the most sober good sense and honesty, and I can find in his work little even of that 'personal bias and oriental hyperbolism' which Lane-Poole thought it necessary to excuse. He first came into direct relation with Saladin, however, only in 1184, as one of the ambassadors from Mosul, and did not finally join him as Judge of the Army until 1188. From then onwards, i.e., during the whole period of the Third Crusade, he not only presents a faithful record of events as he saw them, but...

[In the essay that follows, Runciman offers a general assessment of Saladin's achievement and reputation, commenting that Saladin is as admired in modern times as he was by his contemporaries for his eminence as a general and for his virtuous nature. The author cites examples of Saladin's acts of mercy, charity, compassion, and humility.]
There are many characters in history who were thought to be great and good by their contemporaries but who seem to us today rather unattractive. Fashions in behaviour and even moral standards have changed. But there are a few whose reputation has outlived the vicissitudes of time, so that we can still understand why they were admired and loved. Such a one was Saladin, the Moslem prince who was the most illustrious enemy of the Christians in the religious wars that we call the Crusades.
Saladin was born in 1138, at a time when the Moslem world was at a low ebb. When he died, in 1193, the Moslems were in the ascendant again. The Crusaders, who had held most of Syria and all the Holy Land, were reduced to a strip of territory along the coast. Saladin's great triumph was to restore to Islam the city of Jerusalem—a city almost as holy to the Moslems as it is to the Christians—which the soldiers of the First Crusade had recovered for...

[In the following essay, Brand outlines the details of the alliance between the Byzantine Empire and Saladin from 1185 to 1192. Brand concludes that neither side gained much from the alliance.]
On the eve of the Third Crusade the chief Christian state in the East joined with Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria, to further their common interests, which involved opposition to the Latins in the Holy Land. To the West this conjunction appeared to be a violation of the tie of religion and a break with tradition, because from the moment of the irruption of Mohammed's followers from the Arabian peninsula warfare between Byzantines and Muslims had been almost continuous. In the eleventh century the Muslim Seljuks deprived the Eastern Empire of much of Anatolia. After the First Crusade Byzantium co-operated with the Westerners in the hope of establishing a protectorate over the crusader states in Syria and securing aid against the persistent Muslim encroachment upon its eastern frontiers. Yet Andronicus, last of the Comneni, and Isaac Angelus, his successor, reversed this policy, allied themselves with the crusaders' mightiest opponent, and even strove to eliminate Latin power from the Orient.
This rapprochement of ancient enemies was facilitated by some...

SOURCE: "The Achievement of Saladin" in Studies in the Civilization of Islam, edited by Stanford J. Shaw and William R. Polk, Princeton University Press, 1962, pp. 91–107.
[In the following essay, Gibb assesses the motivation behind Saladin's achievements and addresses the theory that his successes were the result of his personal ambition and his exploitation of religious sentiments. Gibb maintains that Saladin's successes were the result of his "unselfishness, his humility and generosity, [and] his moral vindication of Islam."]
In the effort to penetrate behind the external history of a person whose reputation rests upon some military achievement, the modern tendency is to analyse the complex of circumstances within which he acted, with the sometimes explicit suggestion that the individual is rather the creature than the creator of his circumstances, or, more justly, that his achievement is to be explained by a harmonious adjustment of his genius to the conditions within which it operated. That this is generally true calls for no argument. But history, especially the history of the Near East, is full of conquering kings, who seem to owe nothing to their circumstances except the possession of a powerful army and the weakness of their antagonists. The question posed by the career of Saladin is whether he was just another such conqueror, or whether his career involved distinctive moral elements...

[In the following essay, Ehrenkreutz offers an assessment of Saladin's career that focuses on his accomplishments as well as his shortcomings. Ehrenkreutz stresses that he does not, unlike many critics, conjecture about or romanticize Saladin's intentions.]
"As for the claim of the Caliph that I've conquered Jerusalem with his army and under his banners—where were his banners and his army at the time? By God! I conquered Jerusalem with my own troops and under my own banners!"—Saladin to Caliph al-Nasir
To modern western readers Saladin is best known for his military battles with the Crusaders between 1187 and 1192. This is understandable in view of the dramatic character of that struggle and the fact that it involved formidable naval and land forces and prominent leaders from Europe. The interest aroused by that brief climactic phase in Saladin's career is reflected in the arrangement of Lane-Poole's biography. The initial section of his book, entitled "Egypt" and covering the period from Saladin's birth to Nur al-Din's death (1138-74), is surveyed in sixty-three pages of rather diluted narrative. The second part, called...

[In the following essay, Humphreys analyzes the political structure under which Saladin operated and discusses the ways in which he adapted this structure and established his authority. Humphreys emphasizes the system of loyalties cultivated by Saladin, and observes that such a system could not be sustained after his death. But overall, the political system that was prevalent during Saladin's reign "gave his immediate successors a framework of attitudes and behavior within which to define their own policies and goods."]
Saladin's legacy to his heirs was not merely a mass of territories brought together by force and diplomacy. It was a functioning political system—a structure of expectations, rights, and duties within which men sought power and influence. This political system had been shaped by Saladin's goals and imbued with his personality, but it did not evaporate upon his death. Indeed it gave his immediate successors a framework of attitudes and behavior within which to define their own policies and goals. It was also the initial point for the entire subsequent political evolution of the Ayyubid empire. From both points of view, then, the structure of politics under Saladin requires careful...

[In the following essay, Lyons and Jackson offer a brief assessment of Saladin's reputation, commenting that Saladin's Muslim contemporaries alternately viewed him as a hero of Islam or as a manipulator who used Islam to achieve personal power. Lyons and Jackson provide evidence of Saladin's strengths and weaknesses.]
To his admirers, Saladin on his death-bed at Damascus can be seen as the hero of Islam, the destroyer of the Latin Kingdom and the restorer of the shrines in Jerusalem. Eulogy, however, must accommodate itself to the fact that such a view was not accepted by numbers of his Muslim contemporaries. He can be pictured by his detractors as manipulating Islam to win power for himself and his family and only then launching on an adventure which still left a Frankish state poised to strike, if Europe were willing to support it, at an overburdened and impoverished Muslim empire. The praise and blame implicit in such assessments may be irrelevant to a historical study, but the assessments themselves serve to underline the problem of Saladin's relationship to his background. In turn, this must be related to his own qualities, in so far as they can be seen to determine how far he controlled events, rather than merely reacted to them.
As a war leader, Saladin has to...

SOURCE: "Saladin's Hattin Letter" in The Horns of Hattin, edited by B. Z. Kedar, Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi, 1992, pp. 208–13.
[In the following excerpt, Melville and Lyons note that Saladin's Hattin letter functions as a triumph song, rather than a factual account. Like most medieval Arabic diplomatic correspondence, the letter is "colored by metaphor and rhetorical exaggeration." The critics then offer an English translation of the letter.]
The repetitive patterns of medieval Arabic diplomatic correspondence are colored by metaphor and rhetorical exaggeration. Here, facts are the one half-pennyworth of bread in an intolerable deal of sack, and to this general rule the Hattīn letter is no exception. Not surprisingly, it is a triumph song rather than a battlefield communiqué, but in spite of this it supplies a clue that is essential to an understanding of the battle. The letter tells us that the crusaders occupied "one of the waters" during their advance on Tiberias. If this is accepted as referring to the spring by the site of the village of Tur'ān, the detail transforms what is otherwise inexplicably foolish generalship into a militarily acceptable, if unfortunate, tactical plan.
What is given here is a transcription of MS. arabe 6024 in the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris. A full critical study has yet to be made of the manuscript tradition of Saladin's letters and,...

SOURCE: "Saladin the Upstart" in Crusades, Facts on File, 1995, pp. 135–47.
[In the essay that follows, Jones and Ereira provide a brief overview of Saladin's gradual achievement of military power and comment on the reasons why some contemporary Muslims viewed Saladin as an "upstart." The critics' evaluation focuses on the apparent discrepancy between Saladin's expansionism (which involved fighting against fellow Muslims) and his claim that his activities were geared toward the conquest of Jerusalem and the goal of expelling Christians from the land.]
'Upon the death of Shirkuh, the advisers of the Caliph al-Adid suggested that he name Yusuf the new Vizier, because he was the youngest, and seemingly the most inexperienced and weakest, of the emirs of the army.' This is how Ibn al-Athir interpreted Saladin's rise to power. In fact, at the risk of spoiling a good story, the idea that Saladin was a shy, retiring nobody who had suddenly been forced into the limelight is not really tenable. He had killed Shawar and put his uncle Shirkuh into power. He had demonstrated ability in the invasions of Egypt and proved himself in battle.
Even before the Egyptian campaign, the young Saladin must have shown promise for his uncle to have chosen him as his aide-de-camp in preference to Shirkuh's own sons. Before that, Nur ed-Din had himself appointed Saladin as chief of police in...

SOURCE: "The Sources" in Saladin in Egypt, Constable London, 1976, pp. xii-xv.
[In the following essay, Lev reviews the main contemporary sources for Saladin's biography and examines the influence of the contemporary politics (as well as the biographers' attitudes and perceptions) on the biographers' assessments of Saladin.]
I. The abundance of sources for Saladin's rise to power in Egypt should not mislead us as to our ability to fathom the deeper motives and aspirations of the main players on the political scene. We must be always aware that most of our information is derived from the writings of a small and well-defined group of Saladin's associates and admirers notably Qadi al-Fadil, 'Imad al-Din al-Isfahani and Ibn Shaddad. On the other hand stands Ibn al-Athir, who is mostly hostile to Saladin. To make things worse, only part of the original writings of Saladin's admirers has reached us directly. Therefore, we are dependent on later historians, who were familiar with those works and incorporated them in their own writings. Furthermore, Saladin's historian-admirers wrote their works after the death of Saladin. Their outlook must have been influenced by Saladin's later achievements; the victory at Hittin and the conquest of Jerusalem. In retrospect, they tended to...

Siofok, Hungary
Siófok is a popular holiday destination with two beaches, numerous hotels and restaurants, and a cultural center on the town square. The local museum houses archeological discoveries and folk art.
After Balatonfüred and Keszthely, Balatonalmádi is the third largest holiday resort on the north bank. First mentioned in the records
Szigliget, Hungary
The Szigliget peninsula, 4km (21/2mi.) beyond Badacsonytördemic, was (like Tihany) originally surrounded by water. Anyone visiting the
Balatonfoldvar, Hungary
The small town of Balatonföldvár (alt. 108m (355ft); pop. 2200) can look back on a long tradition as a bathing resort. Beautifully situated and criss-crossed with parks, this holiday center boasts a sizeable bathing beach and the largest marina on Lake Balaton. Remains of the ditch around the Iron Age earth fortifications (Földvár) - from which the town gets its name - can still be seen. Carbonated water bubbles forth from a fountain near the railroad station. In the harbor bay, between the breakwaters of the 246m (810ft) long mole, lies the little island of Galambsziget (Dove Island), a sun-worshippers' paradise.In the evenings people like to stroll along the mile-long promenade lined with plane trees. The promenade is named after the great Hungarian hydraulic engineer Jenö Kvassay.
Balatonboglar, Hungary
The communities of Balatonlelle and Balatonboglár merged for a time to form that of Boglárlelle. However, in the early 1990s, they separated again to form two communities following a public referendum. The House of Culture (Muvelodési ház) at Kossuth Lajos utca 2 in Lelle, a former Classical manor house built in 1838, is renowned for the exhibitions of craft) and folk-art held there every summer. On August 20th (Constitution Day) the Antal Kapoli Prize is awarded to the best woodcarver. There is a fine view over the lake to be had from the 162m (530ft) high castle mound with its forest parkland which has been designated a nature reserve.
Buzsak, Hungary
Some 20km (13mi.) southwest of Boglárlelle (approach by way of Lengyeltóti and turn right there), Buzsák has earned a reputation as a stronghold of folk-art and crafts in the Somogy region. Even today the ladies of the town still embroider blankets and rugs, cushions and costumes with colorful ethnic patterns or decorate them with appliqué flowers and leaves made from red material. In the Museum of Arts and Crafts their work can be admired and, of course, purchased. The old costumes are still worn in the village procession on the occasion of the traditional kermis or fair held on the second or third Sunday in August of each year.
Alsoors, Hungary
Alsóörs is charmingly situated on a lakeside terrace, at the foot of Somló-hegy (200m (656ft), which is covered in forest. This little resort has moorings for boats and a sandy beach. The Reformed Church with a west tower dates originally from the 13th C, but underwent marked changes during a rebuilding program in the 18th C. A road known as Petofi köz - on which stands the "Turkish House" (Török ház), a 15th C Late Gothic manor house - leads up to Somló-hegy. The building gets its name from its rather unconventional turban-shaped chimney.
Felsoors, Hungary
3km (2mi.) inland from Alsóörs lies the little village of Felsoörs, which so far has remained unspoiled by mass tourism. The church of St Mary Magdalene is a pretty Romanesque building in red sandstone which was later rebuilt in the Baroque style. The west tower and the richly decorated recessed doorway are original, dating from the 12th C, whereas the nave and west wall are 13th C. The interior decoration including the high altar, gallery and beautifully carved pulpit are in the Baroque style and were installed in the mid-18th C.
Fonyod, Hungary
The second largest holiday town on the south bank stretches as far as the ancient settlement area at the foot of the extinct Fonyód volcano, the highest elevation on the south side with the two peaks of Sipos-hegy (207m (680ft)) and Vár-hegy (233m (765ft)). When the railroad line was built along the south bank in the 19th C, the town soon grew into a popular resort. Four holiday centers lie along the 8km (5mi) stretch along the bank from Fonyód - Sándortelep, Bélatelep, Fonyódliget and Alsó-Bélatelep.
Balatonszarszo, Hungary
In the autumn of 1937 the great Hungarian poet Attila József (1905-37) tragically committed suicide in the quiet holiday resort of Balatonszárszó. In the boarding-house at József Attila utca 7 where he spent his last days there is a museum in his memory.Balatonszárszó has numerous festivals throughout the summer months and a lake that is frequented by anglers.
Zamardi, Hungary
The expressway 7 ends before it reaches Zamárdi, and Highway 7 then continues along the south bank. North of the railroad line there is a 10km (6mi.) stretch of holiday homes one after the other, and on the other side of the line lies the old village center. Visitors should visit the local museum at Fö utca 83, a typical arcaded house with a pergola, thatched roof and barn. One room and the kitchen are fitted out with country-style furniture and everyday items from days gone by.
Somogyvar, Hungary
From Buzsák it is worth making a detour to Somogyvár, 11km (7mi.) south of Lengyeltóti on the road to Kaposvár. The royal Benedictine monastery, the uncovered ruins of which are open to visitors, was built in 1091-95 on the site of a Bronze Age rampart.
Orvenyes, Hungary
Remains of a Roman villa have been uncovered on the edge of this little village. The old water-mill was in use from about 1800; today it is a museum.

Clean water taste, sweet, with a wet grainy, corn husk type taste. Not that I've tried wet paper, but I'd guess similar to that in graininess. Nothing wow or bad. Not overly adjunct in taste, but it is there. M- Light, watery, crisp, clean, and refreshing. Slight grainy bitter type finish is the only downfall. Dry overall. *Overall, this is an average beer. For adjunct lagers, it not half bad! It does have a draft type creamy feel, but it is just your standard American lager.

She has really nice nipples.

You know very well that hardware vendors provide their driver blobs optimized for Windows system while majority Linux distributions mainly have kernel userspace drivers based on the source and hardware specifications. You know very well a plain Microsoft Windows system without drivers from manufacturers themselves will have similar issue with whatever Linux distributions unless some of them have optimized driver coming straight from manufacturers. Dare to do the power test with only plain Windows operating system and say that it is more efficient.
Keeping repeating the same mantra while fully aware about the fact a Windows system relies on vendors priviledges only displays the level of hypocrisy.
This is not entirely true, P ... appropriate kernel [my] and my script APM = about 9 Watt on Mac. Here is an example - here Brazos kernel version:
Even though the statement that you can optimize your linux to use less power is true, the truth is that most users won't do that (lack of knowledge or time). So it must be able to optimize itself. We shouldn't try to use the argument that windows also eats alot without the user installing specialized drivers because users are already trained to do that while a user switching to linux most likely doesn't know how to install drivers. Secondly, linux comes with tons of drivers so it should be able to optimize itself. And thirdly, after all wasn't linux supposed to be better? Since when are we emulating windows behavior?
My mbp (no nvidia chip) nearly consumes same power on ubuntu as on osx. There are several points of optimization though which are sparsely documentated. E.g. I found that enabling AHCI mode using grub can save a lot of power. Also enabling the various powersave modes of the i915 driver does as well as dimming the panel/keyboard leds to the same level as on osx.
You give the average user a lot of credit. I don't think most windows users know how to install a driver, otherwise MS wouldn't have Windows Update doing it for you. Even then, WU doesn't get them all, and then all device manager will call it is unknown device or some other vague name. Still, a clean install of Windows 7 on my Probook results in 2 unknown devices, and it took a good amount of time figuring out what they were. HP is not much help, as they ship the notebook out with 79 services running, so trying stuff from their support page is very much an exercise in guessing.
The power management tweaks in Linux aren't necessary for functionality, but it does give you another 30-60 minutes of battery. My point is that virtually any Windows notebook you get will require as much work as an Ubuntu setup if you want a better experience. You're either reinstalling the OS or uninstalling crap. The average Windows user just doesn't do such things willingly.
Who buys unsupported hardware?
If you want to run ANY operating system on hardware that isn't supported by the manufacturer, run it in a virtual machine instance
Otherwise you're just asking for trouble
If you want to run Linux on bare hardware, buy supported hardware!
This is true of ANY operating system, not just Linux
I run Linux on Supermicro hardware. It says "Linux" right on the box and in the manual. They have specific Linux settings in the BIOS. They test their hardware with Linux. They list the Linux versions that they tested with, on their web site. I never have any trouble running Linux on Supermicro hardware.

Many other opportunities exist for chemists in agriculture, business, law, and in forensic laboratories. Graduate education in chemistry, chemical engineering, molecular or cell biology, environmental sciences, life sciences, and oceanography are some of the many opportunities open to chemistry graduates. Many chemistry graduates at UW-River Falls go on directly to graduate school to earn advanced degrees; others enter employment in government or industry; some attend programs in medical or veterinary sciences or pharmacology; and some choose to enter the teaching field.
is called the "central science" for good reason. It is a foundation for new discoveries in fields as different as medicine and "nanotechnology" or polymers and biochemistry. It is essential for monitoring our environment. New synthetic fibers, new pharmaceuticals, new materials (from paints to ceramics) and new engineering processes are all dependent on chemistry. A chemistry degree offers immediate employment and a lifetime of exciting opportunity.

This Week's Horoscope
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
by Caeriel Crestin
write the author
May 31, 2007
Relating to matters of the heart, you have some relationships that are strictly one-way. That is, your dear friend tells you everything that's going on for her, but when it comes time to share your own feelings, your mouth might as well be sewn shut. I know you don't want to bitch or whine about your inner turmoil. You might not even need to share that stuff, since you're perfectly capable of coping on your own. But sharing isn't always for you. Sometimes, it's for your friends. Letting them know what's in your heart isn't selfish; it's actually a kind of gift. Won't you give it to them?
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Geminis often have difficulty expressing their emotions; some Cancers, on the other hand, can tend towards the opposite extreme: over-articulation of every little thing they're going through. Your ability to speak eloquently about your inner world is one of your talents, but it can be taken too far, and ultimately drive people away from you. As I told Geminis this week, letting people be privy to your private inner world is generally a gift. But there's also such a thing as over-sharing. Is it a feeling of intimacy you're creating, or simply too much information?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You can rock this week's Sagittarian Full Moon, if you play their game. Archers are truth-tellers and truth-seekers; wearing your heart on your sleeve and cutting through bullshit are no problem for you. They're born adventurers, and like things wild and chaotic; you do like to be in charge a lot of the time, but you're able to occasionally let go and go along for the ride. Sagittarians are never snobs, they'll gladly and amiably talk to anyone. Yeah. That one might be trickier for you. Nevertheless, it'd be good practice. This week, deliberately develop amnesia about any judgments you've made. I'm betting you will be much happier.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You're actually not an especially brilliant multi-tasker. It's more that you've mastered the art of making everything you do serve multiple purposes. Sometimes, though, that doesn't always work. It may be frustrating to have to do something that's uneconomical and only serves one end, but this week, do it anyway, because it's not for you. It's for someone you love. Making other people happy is rarely a streamlined, efficient, or logical process. Nevertheless, I hope you realize that, even though you could be accomplishing 10 times as much in the same time, this is more important. So quit your bitching and do what you have to do—and do it well.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Dressing up like a little girl in pigtails and ribbons won't make you appear innocent; in fact, in most cases it would have exactly the opposite effect. Similarly, you can't simply put on the appearance of whatever you want to be and hope you'll come off that way. People will see right through it. If you want to transform, you've got to wreak that metamorphosis from the inside out. This will take much longer and require tons more effort than you may have originally wanted to put into this life change. Are you up for it? On the plus side, by the time you manifest whatever it was that you wanted to bring into your life, it won't matter what you wear; the transformation will be written all over you.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Some plants are resilient. You can cut off a stem, plop it in water, and the plant will magically grow some roots, new leaves, and become viable on its own. Others will simply wilt and die. You could take either metaphorical route this week: opportunistically expanding, even though you're cut up and put in unfamiliar territory, or giving up and wilting because you don't have access to your usual sources of nourishment and comfort. Obviously, we'd both prefer you take the former path, but you might not quite know how. Here's a hint: without roots or leaves, you'll have to figure out some other way of getting the things you need to survive and thrive. If a plant can do that, you can, too.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
There's nothing wrong with allowing yourself to be led from the path you'd chosen for yourself. That's often how you discover new, better ways of living. Sometimes, though, you don't even realize you've been led badly astray until you meet someone who reminds you of who you really are. Some people challenge you to become something or someone new. That's great. But some people don't expect you to be anything more (or less) than you already are, quite naturally. You've done enough rising to the occasion lately. This week, find someone who'll let you take a seat, relax, and enjoy just being yourself.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Some people are always late because they just don't give a shit. Being punctual isn't the least bit important to them, and they only pretend to feel guilty when they've kept you waiting, again. Others, however, are frequently tardy because they simply don't have a very firm grasp on time; a passing hour can seem like 10 minutes inside their heads. You're habitually punctual, and get annoyed when others aren't, regardless of their reasons. Since you'll have to deal with both types of late-comers quite a lot this week, circumvent your annoyance by short-circuiting their lateness. Ask them to meet you a half-hour before you actually want to, and everyone will show up at the same time, happy.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Anyone who's had a kid, a beloved pet, or a lover knows that feeling of fierce protectiveness that seems to sprout from some deep, instinctual place. That animal self is a source of power, insight and strength. While you're right that you shouldn't let it rule you, sometimes Aquarians put a bit too much distance between their overbearing, overanalyzing minds, and it. This week, tap into that primal inner spring. What you need the most to get to the next chapter—be it passion, drive or guiding instincts—can be found there.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
People are often willing to cut you slack. But sometimes you've just got to bring it, without excuses, regardless of what else is going on for you. They don't care if you have a fever, a broken arm or a broken heart. You either deliver or you don't. Many Pisceans are quick to give up when they face this kind of ultimatum. It's not that they lack the ability to succeed and even thrive despite adversity. They could (and many Fish do). It's simply because they don't have the kind of drive and rebellion that would keep, say, an Aries on his feet with two sprained ankles. This week, work on your drive. Are you hungry enough? Show us.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Rams are creatures of extremes. Even though they often come off as the boldest and most confident people around, they're frequently also the most insecure. Aries I know to be brilliant, extroverted and wildly successful have confessed that they secretly thought that virtually everyone they knew was cooler than they were. How many pedestals have you built to put your friends and heroes up on? How disappointed (or relieved) were you when they fell off, in the past? I don't know that you need to go running around knocking down imaginary pedestals just to bring your friends down to "your level." Personally, I'd rather you built a new one and climbed up.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
What's perfect isn't perfect. In fact, this week you ought to live for the imperfections, and the unexpected. You need distraction and adversity to really come into your own. Given total serenity and the "perfect" working environment, for example, I doubt you'd get anything done. You're stiff and you need to stretch out and use your emotional (as well as physical) muscles. That means putting yourself in situations where they'll get a workout, that will truly challenge you. Choose circumstances which require tremendous flexibility. Forget what's ideal. Go for what's exciting.

Jerry Sandusky's appeal denied
Sandusky convicted last year of 45 counts relating to sex abuse
POSTED: 12:04 PM EDT Oct 02, 2013
UPDATED: 01:23 PM EDT Oct 02, 2013
Jerry Sandusky's effort to appeal his conviction was denied Wednesday.
The former Penn State assistant football coach was convicted last year of 45 counts relating to the sexual abuse of young boys. He's serving a 30- to 60-year prison sentence.
In a 19-page ruling, the Pennsylvania Superior Court found that the trial court had properly instructed the jury.
Sandusky's attorney Norris Gelman said he will appeal the decision to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. He has 30 days to do so.
