When Chika Fujimoto was deciding on where to pursue her English studies, she was impressed by the support for foreign students at Langara College.
"The International Education Department provides a lot of support," the 19-year-old from Yokohama said. The English studies and business student tried other colleges but after talking to a Langara adviser, felt that the school offered more support for international students.
She also liked the intimacy of the school. "I feel I can have a closer relationship with professors and classmates."
International students like Fujimoto are a vital source of revenue for B.C.'s post-secondary institutions. To keep a steady flow of students coming through the doors, universities and colleges have adopted a number of approaches. These include providing support systems for students, recruiting through social media and tailoring courses to international students.
International students have more options than ever before.
"The scope of global education is really changing," Ajay Patel, head of international education at Langara, said. "What we're seeing a lot of is student mobility, where a student is able to study what they want where they want."
Roughly 12 per cent of Langara's student body is made up of international students, many from China and India.
At the B.C. Institute of Technology, just under 10 per cent of the school's full-time students are international.
Paul Dangerfield, vice-president of education, research and international at BCIT, said that the school is looking at ways to increase its number of international students. One strategy is to create a bridging program that will allow landed immigrants in industries such as engineering and accounting to use their credentials here.
In some cases, foreign students are needed to prop up courses. "The aerospace industry in British Columbia is quite small," Dangerfield said. "We wouldn't be able to realistically and financially sustain a number of our aerospace programs if we weren't able to bring in international students. It's a way for us to help the international community get graduates who are qualified to either Canadian or international standards accredited. At the same time it helps support an industry where we don't need a full graduating class of perhaps 30 or 40 or 50 grads a year, but we only need to put 20 or 30 grads into the industry."
Neville Yang is enrolled in the school's aerospace mechanical engineering program. Originally from China, he took Grade 11 and 12 in Vancouver then went into the BCIT program. "They have a lot of services for us, like how to apply for study permits, and how to work in Canada," Yang said.
He knew while in high school that he wanted to be an engineer but not what kind until he came across the AME program. He already had friends at BCIT and liked what they told him about the school's mix of classroom and practical teaching.
At UBC's main campus, 14 per cent of the undergrad population is international students. "We have a recruitment team that visits more than 1,000 schools in a year," Karen McKellin, director of international student initiative at UBC, said.
"That's sort of the core of the idea, to go directly to schools. We've certainly adopted social media platforms, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube. We do more e-recruitment, where we're engaging virtually with students or schools we can't get to, and inviting students to join us for online chats."
The cultural exchange works both ways. "I don't think any Canadian student would want to go to a university that only has Canadian students," McKellin said. "Part of the attraction of UBC is its cosmopolitanism. When you come here, you're going to mix with students from a lot of different countries, and that enriches the dialogue and discussions on the campus."
In the long-term, McKellin said, Canada has a lot to teach.
"We have peaceful ways of settling disputes, we care about people who can't take care of themselves, and so we have good health care. We try to address issues of sustainability, and ways to preserve the environment. And those are values that students who spend time with us can see are working."
"The global experience benefits everyone," Langara's Patel agreed. "Foreign students bring different experiences, different lenses. You're learning about other cultures, other customs. It's something you can use at a later date. When an international student comes here, they go back to become the next generation of leaders. And they're going to remember their time in Vancouver. They're going to have opportunities to leverage. This whole kind of continuum is intangible and tough to measure, but the ties can become really strong."
"It's a good way to innovate and learn how to be more productive," Dangerfield said. "We have faculty who are working in Brazil and learning about digital arts, and how branding and advertising is done in the southern hemisphere. You're seeing more and more as the world becomes global, it's absolutely critical for us to become global as well."
Chika Fujimoto volunteers with the International Office at Langara, where she plans events and mingles with other students. "I feel like I'm contributing something, which really feels good."
She's met people from China, Indonesia, Thailand, Korea and India. "If I were in Japan I can only meet Japanese people, or maybe one or two students from other countries. Now I am here, meeting not only Canadian people, but people from all over the world."
After her English studies, Fujimoto would like to complete a degree in international trade. She hasn't decided if she'll stay here or not. "My mind is not set in one country yet."

Phillies revisit decisions on Nix, Schierholtz
PHILADELPHIA -- Laynce Nix had never signed a guaranteed big league contract before the Phillies offered him a two-year, $2.5 million deal in Dec. 2011.
The Phillies let Nate Schierholtz go last November after a short stint with the team.
Both names resurfaced Tuesday when the Phillies designated Nix for assignment with the Cubs in town for a three-game series against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Schierholtz, who signed with the Cubs, entered the night hitting .268 with 23 doubles, three triples, 14 home runs, 43 RBIs, a .500 slugging percentage and .827 OPS in 337 plate appearances. If he had enough plate appearances to qualify, his slugging percentage would rank fifth among 22 big league right fielders. His OPS would rank seventh. Nix, meanwhile, hit .180 with four doubles, two homers, seven RBIs, a .258 slugging percentage and a .486 OPS in 136 plate appearances.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. explained the front office's decision to cut ties with Schierholtz, who missed some time with the Phillies because of a broken foot, and keep Nix.
"Couple reasons why we did it," Amaro said. "We were obviously very left-handed. I guess we didn't get the opportunity to see Schierholtz as much as we would've liked. … A lot of those [two-year deals to bench players], much like the deals you'd give to a middle reliever, they're all kind of crapshoots. But if you want the player, and there's competition to get a player, sometimes you have to go the extra year to get him. But, you know, sometimes you make the right decisions on guys, sometimes you don't."
Added Phillies manager Charlie Manuel: "Nix already had a contract, and Nix was a proven bat off the bench."
Said Schierholtz: "[The injury] totally took away any chance that I had to make an impact here. I think I played 10 games or so before I broke my foot and my toe. Then I missed five weeks or so and then playing sporadically, I didn't have much time to make any impression."

I was going to write a post today about burning bridges because I received a particularly nasty note yesterday from someone that I genuinely enjoyed and it's been eating at me since I read it. But when I sat down to write, I decided that I didn't really want to think much about that vitriol filled note right now. I may still write the post, but the hurt is too fresh and my thoughts too muddled, so I'm going to think about it for awhile. Instead, I thought I'd share with you what I did today while I was in Aspen, because it was something really beautiful. And right now I need beautiful more than I need nasty.
(this was taken with my iPhone – I can't wait to see what the ones taken with my camera turn out like!)
I'm traveling the next week and a half for work. It's a trip that I take every year, and one that affords me two days in Aspen, Colorado. Usually I walk around and window shop during my stay here, but this year I decided to ride the gondola to the top of the mountain. It's about a 20 minute ride to the top, and I learned very quickly that I don't do particularly well in enclosed spaces hundreds of feet above the ground. I also decided it's a good thing that I don't ski, cause I'm not sure I could handle the open air lifts! Anyhow, a few deep breaths and an internal conversation convincing me that I wasn't going to plummet to my death every time the wind blew, and before I knew it I was on top of the mountain. It was breathtaking. And it was completely worth it. I feel fresh and invigorated after my visit.

The Dying Death Penalty?
The Dying Death Penalty?
By Dahlia Lithwick
Page B02
In a curious application of Newtonian physics, public and state support for capital punishment is steadily declining in America just as the resolve to maintain the death penalty seems to be hardening in the one arena where death-penalty policy once had seemed poised to change: the Supreme Court.
The trend is clear. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, which compiles statistics on capital punishment, two states have imposed formal moratoriums on the death penalty; executions in New York are on hold after the state's death penalty law was declared unconstitutional in 2004; 11 states (including, most recently, Florida and Tennessee) have effectively barred the practice because of concerns over lethal injection; and 11 more are considering moratoriums or repeals.
The raw numbers of executions and death sentences in the United States have plummeted: Information Center statistics show that in 1999 we executed 98 people, and in 2006 that number dropped to a 10-year low of 53. Whereas America steadily condemned about 300 prisoners a year to death through the 1990s, that number has declined by more than half and reached a low of 114 in 2006. Public support also seems to be faltering. A Gallup poll last year showed that two-thirds of the country still supports capital punishment for murderers, but when given the choice between the death penalty and a life sentence without parole, more people preferred the life prison term (48 percent) to capital punishment (47 percent) for the first time in 20 years.
The new uncertainty over capital punishment ranges from queasiness over the methods of execution to concern that we are executing innocents. Lethal injection, the preferred method of execution in 39 of the 40 states that permit capital punishment, is particularly fraught with problems.
In December, then-Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida ended executions following one in which it took the prisoner 34 minutes to die and he suffered chemical burns in the process. Recent scholarship, including a British medical journal report, indicates that the lethal-injection cocktail used may simply mask agonizing pain before death. And state courts are also increasingly bothered about the proper role of physicians -- often mandated by law to supervise the lethal-injection process over objections by medical associations and ethics boards.
There are numerous other reasons for our growing doubts about the death penalty. In a 2005 speech, Justice John Paul Stevens pointed to several, including DNA evidence that has shown that "a substantial number of death sentences have been imposed erroneously," the fact that elected judges face disproportionate pressure to impose capital punishment, and the problem of "death-qualified" jurors (those who oppose capital punishment are barred from sitting on capital cases). For these and other reasons, many Americans have begun to worry that the death penalty in this country is not reserved for the "worst of the worst," but for the poorest of the poor and those whose trial attorneys later prove to have been asleepest at the switch.
The Innocence Project, a nonprofit legal clinic associated with the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York, says there have been 194 post-conviction DNA exonerations. A wrongful-executions study by Hugo Bedau and Michael Radelet of contends that from 1900 to 1991, 416 clearly innocent people were sentenced to die. And studies about the racism that taints the entire system are unequivocal.In recent years the Supreme Court has also shown concern about the death penalty.
In an article published last year, Duke University professor Erwin Chemerinsky observed that in the final years of the William H. Rehnquist Court, the justices showed a marked tendency to overturn death sentences. Chemerinsky speculated that "a majority of the Court was (and continues to be) deeply concerned about how the death penalty is administered in the United States" and that, as a result of the revelations by various investigators, "the reality of innocent people facing execution has had a profound effect on the Justices."
So in the early years of the new century, the court handed down surprising decisions outlawing executions of the mentally retarded and of those who were juveniles at the time of their crimes, and refining the tests for the ineffectiveness of counsel. Several justices also voiced concerns off the bench: Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sandra Day O'Connor each spoke publicly and passionately about flaws in the capital system.
But, largely as a result of a change in the court's composition, that trend may now be ending. Just as a few states are defiantly expanding their use of the death penalty. And there is some reason to fear that some justices don't share the burgeoning sense that the machinery of death in this country is broken. One is the new chief justice, John G. Roberts Jr., who, when he worked in the Reagan White House, wrote a memo suggesting that the high court could cut its caseload by "abdicating the role of fourth or fifth guesser in death penalty cases."
One case last term involved a man convicted of a rape and murder, who later produced DNA evidence raising serious doubt that he was the culprit. The court ruled 5 to 3 that this new evidence warranted a new hearing. But Roberts led the dissenters, who felt it wasn't enough for the new evidence to cast doubt on the defendant's conviction; to grant relief, the evidence had to prove he "was actually innocent."
In another death-penalty case from 2005, then-Justice O'Connor agreed with the court's liberals that trial counsel was ineffective. That decision reversed an opinion by Samuel A. Alito Jr., then a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, that would have denied relief. The signals are still mixed. In a different case, the entire court allowed death-row inmates to pursue a civil claim against lethal injection.
But also last term, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote a separate opinion in a death-penalty case for the sole purpose of excoriating Justice David H. Souter, who had written in a dissent about exonerated innocents. Scalia's opinion was a full-bore attack on the notion of innocent exonerees "paraded by various professors" and claimed, in effect, that even if those exonerated were not guilty enough to warrant the death penalty, they were still far from "innocent." (How that made them candidates for the death penalty he did not explain.)
Oral argument this term has also revealed a subtle hardening on the part of some of the court's conservatives. In one case, Roberts questioned the need for a trial judge to specifically guide jurors regarding mitigating evidence.
Somehow, just as the American people are beginning to consider the grave injustices pervading the capital system, several justices seem to be staking out strong personal positions on this front in the culture wars.
In his article, Chemerinsky suggests that justices who change course on the death penalty often do so only after decades on the bench. That might suggest that the two new justices will only soften on capital punishment in the far distant future. These justices also would insist that if the death penalty in this country needs fixing, the state legislatures should do it, a process that's already beginning to happen. But if for most Americans the time for stubborn certainty about the death penalty, at least as it's currently practiced, seems to be over, a court that is more certain than ever of its fundamental fairness looks grievously out of step with an American public willing to recognize the dangers of injustice, error and doubt.

I'm not sure about Winnies, but typically those little panels are wired to the chassis battery only and are intended only to offset parasitic draw, maintaining the charge in the chassis battery (assuming it is already fully charged) when stored for awhile (outdoors, that is).
..I think I measured about 1.2 amps at 14 volts at high noon. ..
I guess I will disagree. Of course I only have three house batteries and two chassie batteries and live in sunny So. Calif. My little 10W solar will keep my batteries maintained in storage IF they are charged to begin with and the battery disconnect switch in on to eliminate parasitic draws. I also use a TrikLstart.In the winter time I do have to add an additional 10W portable I toss on the roof.I love that little solar panel.
All that figures, thanks. So when I replace it with a beefier panel, can I re-use the existing wiring by connecting on the roof? I'm guessing though that the new regulator complicates that theory.Dougie.
100 watts is not a lot of DC amps at the charge voltage of a solar panel..
100 watts is not a lot of DC amps at the charge voltage of a solar panel, which is typically around 15v-16v in full sun (the only time you will ever see an actual 100 watts). watts = volts x amps, so we are talking 100w = 15 x 6.6 amps, so the wire doesn't have to be all that large. 14 gauge should be enough, eh? But that's likely more than whats there now...
That's the big question, Gary. I've gone through the wiring location charts in detail, and the solar panel isn't even shown.Dougie.
My HR came from the factory with a 65watt panel. The panel feeds down to the battery compartment to a standard moringstar controller from there it feeds to the relay that seperates the house batteries from the starting batteries, it is wired to charge the house batteries only.
But those little 10-15W panels were essentially worthless anyway.

Gokey Custom Footwear
The world's best value. For the ultimate fit, nothing rivals handcrafted Gokey footwear custom-made to your specifications. What's most remarkable about Gokey is that it is the only footwear company of its size to provide custom made oxfords, hiking shoes, Snakeproof Boots, or upland boots in various weights to fit your foot and your foot alone. Just as a fine tailor requires your own precise measurements for a fitted look and feel of a fine sport coat or silk shirt, Gokey will take your precise foot measurements to custom fit a shoe to your exact foot width, length and arch. Imagine, footwear that will last a lifetime or more, and has the comfort of one made solely to your own foot's measurements. There is no other shoe company that offers this custom fit cobbling on such a wide scale.
Plus, you can choose from a wide range of custom options, including sole type, leather thickness, lacing arrangement, leather-lined uppers, and reinforced ankle support.
Handmade in the USA
The Gokey construction process is an incredible example of the bootmaker's art - a rare thing in today's mass-produced world. Our craftsmen expertly hand cut and hand sew this durable leather using techniques that date back generations—methods that take years to teach. We start by hand selecting the finest oil-tanned bullhide the world has to offer. This heavy, remarkably durable bullhide is molded over a hardwood last. Next, a welt is stitched to this so cunningly that no awl hole ever completely penetrates the shoe leather to admit water. An arch support is inserted, the outer sole hand-sewn into place, and the top constructed. Each stitch of waxed thread is knotted, locking it firmly in place. Keep in mind, this is done for every single individual shoe that leaves the factory. And with durable Vibram® soles and modern comfort features such as cushioned leather insoles, Gokey footwear is built for comfort and a lifetime of wear.
Custom Fit for a President
Shown in this picture with Katharine H. Perkins to his right, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, wearing his custom Gokey boots, was clearly ready for the field when he visited the Perkins' household in 1948. Eisenhower was an avid outdoorsman and spent many hours hunting and fishing in the years following his presidency.
Many years later, when Leigh H. Perkins purchased the Orvis Company, he didn't have to look far to find a top quality field boot to carry in his catalogs. He was wearing one.
"When my father was 70," Leigh Perkins recalls,"he decided he needed a new pair of Gokey Snakeproof Boots. He was a practical man, and reckoned that no matter how many hunting years he had left, those new boots would outlast him. So he ordered them one-half size larger, so they would fit me, and then put considerable mileage on them before he died six years later. At that point, they reverted to me. I hunted quail in Florida for 20 years before turning them over to my son David, who has worn them since."
Over the past 150 years, the mission of the Gokey Company has remained unchanged: No compromise in quality or custom fit.

If you're a Baby Boomer who's thinking about transitioning from full-time to part-time work, or to 100% "free and me" time, consider some of these ways to help your neighborhood and your community benefit from your skills and years of experience:
- Share what you know. Offer to teach a class or workshop at a community center or the public library. This way, others can gain the benefit of your knowledge.
- Welcome newcomers. If your community is the type of place that retirees flock to, help new arrivals feel welcome by sharing insider tips, inviting them for dinner or introducing them to others whose company they might enjoy.
- Mow someone's lawn. If you're able, there's always a neighbor who could use a helping hand with their property, whether it's the homebound elderly gentleman next door or the single, working mom across the street.
- Volunteer. Find an organization whose cause is close to your heart and dive in.
- Join a board. There are likely lots of nonprofits in your community that could use your professional expertise to help them further their mission.
- Become a mentor. Even if you've left the workforce, you still have a lot of insights to impart to younger professionals in your field.
- Tutor kids. Help a struggling student master academic skills and set them on the path to success.
- Get civic. Are there potholes on your street that need fixing? An intersection that could use a traffic light? Don't wait for others to take the initiative. Approach your local city or town council to get the ball rolling.
- Start a club. If there's an activity you love and you know others who do too, start a club so you can share your passions, such as hiking, politics, bridge or knitting.
- Support the schools. Though your children may be grown, continue to help the schools in your community so the next generation of children can get a quality education.
Discover even more ways to extend a hand in your community by volunteering for the causes that matter to you.

On Monday's edition of "The Daily Show," correspondent Samantha Bee mocked the Obama campaign's fundraiser at the home of actress Sarah Jessica Parker with a clever parody of "Sex and the City."
Bee starred in the video skit as a caricature of Parker's popular alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw. Debating whether to "go to the party or not," Bee turned to real-life pundits like The Nation's Ari Melber and MSNBC's S.E. Cupp, who offered political analysis of the fundraiser. Meanwhile, Bee ruthlessly skewered familiar tropes from "Sex and the City."
When Bee showed up to Parker's fundraiser in a giant ballet tutu — an allusion to the opening credits of the popular HBO series — she was turned away by security. Ultimately, Bee concluded, she didn't have what Carrie Bradshaw has (and President Obama needs): "powerful friends and an enormous and available line of credit."

Darren Bent scores 10 minutes from time to deny rivals West Brom victory in the English Premier League.
Substitute Darren Bent grabbed a late equaliser for Aston Villa in a 1-1 draw with midlands rival West Bromwich Albion on Sunday, denying the in-form visitors a victory that would have lifted them to third place in the Premier League.
The England striker lashed in a left-foot shot from close range in the 80th minute, making a statement to new manager Paul Lambert after being stripped of the captain's armband and then being dropped to the bench following a barren start to the campaign.
"It's obviously been a difficult couple of weeks, losing the captaincy first off then finding out I wasn't playing today," Bent said.
"But I managed to score the goal to get a point."
Villa dominant
Shane Long put the visitors ahead in the 51st when he showed quick reactions to guide home a low finish after Villa defender Ron Vlaar's attempted clearance flew straight at the Ireland international.
While sixth-place West Brom have now made their best start to a top-flight season in 34 years, Villa stayed 15th in the 20-team standings having won just one of their first six games under Lambert since he joined from Norwich in the close season.
But Villa bossed possession for long spells of a match that only sprung into life after Long's goal, his fourth in all competitions this season.
"The response of the players to falling behind was excellent – I cannot ask for any more," Lambert said.
"Everybody is in it together, we need every player to perform."
Substitute Romelu Lukaku, on loan from Chelsea, nearly won all three points for West Brom when his deflected shot brushed against the post with injury time approaching.
But that would have been unfair on Villa, which also went close through Christian Benteke and Joe Bennett after the break.
Good timing
In the end, they needed record signing Bent to get them out of trouble and he couldn't have picked a better time to show his eye for goal, with England manager Roy Hodgson in the stands.
Bent has been ignored in recent months by Hodgson and is no longer a regular with his club either following the summer signing of Benteke from Belgian side Genk.
But he showed he is one of the country's most lethal strikers by taking just 11 minutes to make his mark after coming on, lurking at the back post after a bit of pinball in the area after a corner to steer home a predatory finish.
It was only the fifth goal West Brom has conceded in six games under Steve Clarke, who is defying the critics who said he would struggle to make the step up to manager after 12 years as an assistant coach at Chelsea, West Ham and then Liverpool.
"Having been 1-0 in front and with decent control of the game for long parts, we are a bit disappointed not to win," Clarke said.
"But then again, if you said before that we would come away from a difficult away game with a point, then we would have taken that."
In a nice touch by Villa fans, a minute's applause was dedicated to club captain Stiliyan Petrov in the 19th minute – the number of his jersey – with the Bulgarian still out of action after being diagnosed with leukemia in March.

HALIFAX—Nova Scotia's justice minister is pushing Ottawa to make it illegal to distribute intimate images for a malicious or sexual purpose without consent, a move he says was prompted by the death of Rehtaeh Parsons.
Ross Landry said Friday that he plans to raise the matter with federal Justice Minister Rob Nicholson next week in Ottawa.
Landry said he decided to ask for changes to the Criminal Code after meeting with Leah Parsons, Rehtaeh's mother.
"It's one of the commitments that I made last week to Ms. Parsons in the discussion," said Landry.
"As I heard her and others speak, it's about images getting out there that don't have the permission of the parties involved."
Landry said he would like to see the law also result in the prosecution of people who redistribute the images in question. But he added that part of his discussion with Nicholson would focus on whether such a law would be enforceable.
Dan MacRury, a Crown prosecutor who is Nova Scotia's representative on a national cybercrime working group, said he believes an enforceable law could be put in place, despite the challenges presented by technology.
"The child pornography provisions that are before the code are enforceable and they involve technology at the present time," said MacRury.
"From a technology point of view, it's like any investigation. (Police) would have to prove who sent the item."
He said what constitutes an intimate image would have to be worked out as the law is drafted, but the intent would be to crack down on the distribution of harmful images depicting genitalia.
"Obviously we wouldn't be looking at just kissing."
MacRury said while there are provisions in the Criminal Code that outlaw child pornography, there are no protections in place to prevent the malicious dissemination of sexual images for adults. He said the province would also push to address that gap.
Nicholson could not be reached for comment.
Andrew Younger, the Liberal Opposition deputy house leader, said he welcomed the initiative, particularly after Landry had initially said he saw no reason to delve further into Rehtaeh's case.
"He recognized quite quickly that this was a more serious issue than he realized and he's taking action now," said Younger.
The 17-year-old Halifax girl attempted suicide on April 4 and was taken off life-support three days later. Her family alleges she was sexually assaulted by four boys in November 2011 and a photograph of the incident was passed around her school.
The RCMP said they looked into the allegations but concluded in consultation with Nova Scotia's Public Prosecution Service there were no grounds to lay charges. They have since reopened their investigation after receiving what they describe as "new and credible" information.
Premier Darrell Dexter has also announced an independent review of the RCMP's original investigation once the current probe concludes.
He also appointed Marilyn More, the minister responsible for the status of women, to oversee the province's overall response to Rehtaeh's death.
On Thursday, More announced the appointment of two education experts from Ontario to conduct an independent review of how the Halifax Regional School Board responded.

Details of California Golden Bears and the Ticket Luck value
The California Golden Bears is the epithet for 27 varsity athletic programs of the University of California, Berkeley. Referred to in athletic competition as California or Cal, the university competes in the NCAA's Division I as a member of the Pacific Ten Conference, and for a limited sports as a member of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. California has won national titles in 16 different sports and 66 team titles overall. Cal athletes also competed in the Olympics as a host of different countries. Notable facilities used by the Bears include California Memorial Stadium and Haas Pavilion. Cal finished the 2005-2006 athletic season with 865.5 points, earning seventh place in the Director's Cup standings, the Golden Bears' highest finish ever.
Founded in the same year as the university in 1868, crew was the very first sport played at UC Berkeley. Since then it has become one of the most consistently successful Cal varsity programs. Women's crew began in 1974 and it has also become a perennial contender. Stanford is considered their chief rival, the Crew team's traditional rival is the University of Washington Huskies which year in and year out field some of the best crews in the country.Cal basketball's home court Haas Pavilion was built on top of the old Harmon Gymnasium by the capital donated by the owners of Levi-Straus. Haas Pavilion is one of the loudest gyms in the Pac-10, possibly second only to their cross-bay rivals, Stanford's Maples Pavilion. The current head coach of men's basketball is Ben Braun.
The Cal baseball team plays at Evans Diamond, located between Haas Pavilion and Edward's Track Stadium. Cal has appeared in the post-season a total of nine times, including five times in the College World Series; Cal won the title in 1947 and 1957. Perhaps the most famous Cal player was second baseman Jeff Kent, who led the Golden Bears to the 1988 World Series, and was named the 2000 National League Most Valuable Player as a member of the San Francisco Giants. Shortstop Geoff Blum of Cal's 1992 College World Series team hit the game-winning home run in the 14th inning of a 2005 World Series game for the Chicago White Sox.
The Golden Bears first played intercollegiate basketball in 1907 and began full conference play in 1915. The dominant decade was 1920s for Cal basketball, as the Bears won 6 conference titles under coaches E.H. Wright and Nibs Price.Nibs Price coached Cal with great success for 30 years from 1924 to 1954, earning a 449-294 total record, many single season winning records, and an additional 3 conference titles in the 1930s and 1940s. Cal reached the pinnacle of the sport during 1955 to 1960. The Golden Bears earned the conference title four out of his five years and in 1959, won the NCAA title.
The fortunes of Cal men's basketball were never the same after Pete Newell; as of 2006 Cal did not win a conference title since 1960. The 1970s and 1980s were down years for the program, despite having players such as Kevin Johnson. The highlight of this era was a 75-67 victory over UCLA in 1986 that ended a 25-year, 52 game losing streaks to the Bruins.Cal Rugby's home is at 5000-seat Witter Rugby Field, located near California Memorial Stadium in Strawberry Canyon. The Golden Bears are the reigning collegiate national champion, which became very familiar in Berkeley.
Rugby union began playing at Cal in 1882 and continued until 1886, when it was ditched in favor of American Football. Rugby made a return in 1906 after football was deemed too dangerous to play. From 1906 to 1914, Cal rugby garnered a respectable 78-21-10 record. 1914, however, saw the return of football and Cal could not field a rugby team for almost 20 years. In 1931, rugby returned under alumnus Ed Graff. It was during this time that Cal began to compete for the World Cup, awarded to the winner of the annual series between Cal and the University of British Columbia.
Since 1906, Cal students and alumni participated in the Olympics in a variety of sports and represented a diverse group of nations, despite the fact that the university is located in the United States. In the first half of the 20th century, Cal's Olympics presence was felt mainly in the sports of rugby and crew. The gold medal winning American rugby teams of the 1920 and 1924 Summer Olympics were made up of many Cal players who were displaced following the school's decision to support American football, rather than rugby. In men's crew, Cal's team won gold for the United States three times - at the 1928, 1932, and 1948 Summer Olympics. To date, this is more than any other college or university in the world.

Hi. I'm a part time PhD student researching thirteenth-century manorial buildings using medieval documents. I'm studying at Queen's University Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I spent most of Friday analysing information from manorial accounts for three manors in the south east of England. Medieval documents are not the usual focus of an archaeological PhD, but I am interested in the information about buildings that they contain. These accounts have lots of information about what the buildings were roofed with, what the walls were made of and the different types of buildings on the manor. There is also interesting entries, like the mole catcher, who is employed to catch moles in the lord's pasture, or the castrating of pigs. Some times specific historical events are recorded, like the great storm of 1361-2. The only problem is that the accounts are in medieval Latin, which I had no knowledge of until last September. I've had to learn medieval palaeography to be able to decipher the hand writing and translate the Latin.
The most interesting outcome of my analysis was that there appears to be an increase in spending on the maintenance of buildings at the end of the 1330s. Some of the manors spent more money on repairing the buildings and others rebuild some of their buildings. I'm yet to understand why this change occurs and so far I have only identified it in four manors, but it is a pattern that I will look out for as I investigate more manors across England. My goal is to advance our limited knowledge of what medieval manorial buildings looked like and what they were built from, as well as how much maintenance they required.
On Friday evening, I headed up to Northern Ireland's north coast to visit a site that I have been excavating with the National Trust. The site is the eighteenth-century palace of the Earl Bishop, Frederick Hervey [Bishop of Derry and Earl of Bristol]. This has been the third year of the project and we have now uncovered many structures in the two domestick yards to the rear of the house that have been hidden since the Second World War. There have been loads of finds of ceramic, glass, bone and iron; we needed large plastic storage boxes for the finds, instead of the usual finds bags. We are already planning to return next year to investigate further areas of the palace. I've enjoyed the chance to do some practical archaeology, it makes a change from reading medieval documents. While I was up this weekend, filming was taking place for the next season of 'Game of Thrones'.
I also spent a bit of time working on stuff for the Ulster Archaeological Society Newsletter. As Assistant Editor, I have to write up notes from the Society's lectures and field-trips, as well as contributing other notes. This is a great way to keep informed of what is going on in Irish archaeology – Twitter and Facebook is a great help in doing this.

I've used Misoprostol but the pregnancy test is still positive. What should I do?
Sometimes, pregnancy test are still positive 3 or 4 weeks after the abortion, because the hormones are still in the blood. The only way to make sure whether you are still pregnant or not is to have an ultrasound. If that is not possible, we advise you to repeat the pregnancy test after one or two weeks. Blood loss does not mean that the abortion was successful; that is why it is so important to check for continuing pregnancy by ultrasound (as soon as possible) or a pregnancy test (after 1 week). Should you still be pregnant (not longer than 12 weeks), then you can repeat the procedure with Misoprostol (80% effective) (see for complete instructions www.womenonwaves.org/set-274-en.html?lang=en "How can I do an abortion")
You can also do a medical abortion with Mifepriston and Misoprostol (99% effective) Please go to www.womenonweb.org. Women on Web is an on-line medical abortion referral service that provides help for women living in a country where access is restricted.

Identity and privacy research are intertwined.
The former aims at protocols and systems for managing, exchanging and authenticating identity attributes, the latter governs the protection of a user's identity in the widest sense.
Other Interests: [Information Security] [Applied Rigorous Methods]
Identity refers to the attributes associated with a user who interacts with a system's service interface.
It may be a (unique) identifier (e.g., a username) or personal identifiable information (PII) or other attributes (e.g., pseudo-identifiers).
Taken as basis for authentication, the identity serves authorization and thereby determine the user's access control rights on the system and security thereof.
The user's claim on her identity is certified by credentials. Electronic Identity (EID) proposals establish credentials on an electronic token, such as an electronic ID card.
Identity Management refers to systems and protocol to handle identity. User-centric identity management places the user in the center of transactions and has user-consent as guiding principle. Federated identity management (FIM) refers to identity management access trust domains, e.g., for single sign-on authentication.
See Federated Identity Management and the User-centricity Taxonomy.
In first approximation, privacy is the protection of the user's identity.
Privacy can take many forms, the privacy terminology [PfiHan2010] provides a good overview.
Anonymous Credential Systems and attribute-based credentials allow privacy-preserving authentication based on selective disclosure of attributes (or statements about attributes).

Producer Ryan Murphy paid tribute at the International Emmy Awards to television legends Norman Lear and Alan Alda, whose cutting-edge, socially-conscious shows in the '70s paved the way for his own shows like "Glee" and "The New Normal."
Unlike previous years when Britain dominated the International Emmys which honor excellence in television production outside the U.S., the winners in the nine categories this year spanned six countries. Argentina, Brazil and Britain each won two awards; Australia, France and Germany had one apiece.
Murphy closed Monday night's awards ceremony by presenting the 40th Anniversary Special Founders Award to "All in the Family" creator Lear and "M(asterisk)A(asterisk)S(asterisk)H" star Alda. The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences decided to mark the milestone anniversary with special awards honoring a producer and performer who had groundbreaking shows on TV in 1972 when the International Emmys were first presented.
Murphy said he was pleased to be presenting the awards "to two of my idols, guys who really did change the face of television and thus the world."
Fittingly, the night's big winner was Argentina's "Television x la Inclusion," a drama produced by On TV Contenidos dealing with issues of social exclusion and inclusion. It became the first series in the history of the International Emmys to sweep both acting categories.
Dario Grandinetti, who starred in Pedro Almodovar's film "Talk to Her," won the best actor award for his portrayal of a divorced, xenophobic taxi driver determined to drive out his Peruvian neighbors.
Cristina Banegas, a veteran Argentine theater, film and TV actress, was honored as best actress for her role as the mother of a girl with Down syndrome who fights her health insurance company when it won't authorize life-saving heart surgery for her daughter.
"Every episode was about a topic related to discrimination," said a surprised and weeping Banegas as she accepted her award. "It was an honor to participate in a work where ethics and television work together."
The British winners were in the documentary category for "Terry Pratchett: Choosing to Die," about the author who after his Alzheimer's diagnosis travels to a Swiss clinic for a first-hand look at assisted suicide procedures, and "The Twilight Zone"-inspired "Black Mirror," a suspenseful and satirical look at the unease created by modern technology, in the TV movie/mini-series category.
Both of Brazil's wins went to TV Globo productions. "The Invisible Woman," about a publicist married to his boss whose relationship is threatened by the appearance in his life of his imaginary ideal woman, was chosen the best comedy. "The Illusionist," the story of a scam artist who becomes an illusionist after meeting a magician in jail, won in the telenovela category.
Murphy himself was honored midway through the awards ceremony hosted by Regis Philbin at the Hilton New York Hotel. Jessica Lange, the star of Murphy's contemporary gothic TV series "American Horror Story," gave a heart-felt tribute to her "dear and loyal friend" as she presented him with the honorary 2012 International Emmy Founders Award.
"He has an uncanny intuition, an instinctive appreciation for understanding the current zeitgeist and acts on it in a way that to me is startling," said Lange.
Murphy, the writer, director and producer whose credits also include "Nip/Tuck" and "Popular," described Lear as "the biggest shaper of my ideological life." He recalled the impact that seeing an episode of "All in the Family" in which Edith Bunker almost gets raped had on him when he seven because it provoked a family discussion about women's rights. He hoped that his shows like "Glee" and "The New Normal" would shine a spotlight on issues of tolerance, human rights and confronting bigotry.
Murphy said he recently asked Lear in a telephone conversation if he had any advice for him. "He paused ... and he said 'Keep fighting.' And Norman, I want to tell you I am doing just that."
At the end of the ceremony, Murphy returned to the stage to give the special awards to Lear and Alda. In accepting his award, Alda, who played the wise-cracking, anti-authoritarian Army surgeon Hawkeye Pierce, said Lear opened the door for a show like "M(asterisk)A(asterisk)S(asterisk)H because on "All in the Family" he showed that "now we could be funny about things that were serious."
Alda, the only person ever to win U.S. Emmys for acting, writing and directing in the same series, said "M(asterisk)A(asterisk)S(asterisk)H owed a special debt to the Korean War veterans who shared their personal stories.
"These are the people who really lived through the stories we told decades later — the men and women in those hospital tents who went through the cold of winter and the blood and the pain, the loneliness, and seeing their patients die, some of who were only a couple of years away from being children," Alda said.
Lear, who met Murphy for the first time in person at a luncheon earlier in the day, said he felt deeply that "the world needs to come together and will come together through the arts." Reeling off a list of present-day shows from "Homeland" and "Mad Men" to "Modern Family" and "The New Normal," he observed that "this is the golden age of television."
Lear, now 90, couldn't resist the chance to plug a new script he had written about elderly people in a retirement home, but said no networks were interested in the "missing demographic" of those 55 to 105. He said he wanted to title the show "Guess Who Died."
The other Emmy winners included France's police drama "Braquo - Season 2," about a group of Parisian cops who circumvent the law, using violence and intimidation, for best drama series; Germany's "Songs of War," in which "Sesame Street" composer Christopher Cerf explores the relationship between music and violence after learning his songs had been used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, for arts programming; and "The Amazing Race Australia" for non-scripted entertainment.
Six International Emmys for children's programming will be presented at a new awards ceremony on Feb. 8 in New York.
Korean entertainer J.Y. Park presented the honorary International Emmy Directorate Award to Kim In-kyu, president of the Korean Broadcasting System. In taped introductory remarks, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon recalled how he met Kim more than 20 years ago when they were both working in Washington, and described the broadcaster as "a man of vision committed to a deepening broader understanding of Korea and sharing Korea's timeless stories across Asia and around the world."

A guest post by: Shayna Keyles, Outreach Coordinator, Science Connected
Science is a broad term that covers numerous disciplines, from paleontology and particle physics to medicine and mechanical engineering. Nutritional recommendations, architectural limitations, and football-throwing specifications are all guided by science—as are birth, death, and everything in between. So where does Science Connected fit in with all that?
Science is vast, and for many around the world, it's a foreign concept. Many factors contribute to its inaccessibility: teaching methods or curricula that are less than ideal; prohibitive expenses of higher learning; difficulties in understanding scientific concepts or applying them to real life. Reports and findings are frequently written with technical, jargon-filled language that can shut out even the most curious lay reader.
According to the National Science Foundation, only 21 percent of 12th grade students perform at or above grade level in science. While on the surface that sounds like 79 percent of students are just having difficulty solving chemical equations or reciting the Krebs cycle, it really means that over three-quarters of all 12th graders don't have a firm enough grasp on the earth sciences to understand the causes of climate change or its harmful effects. It means that high schoolers don't have sufficient understanding of what makes up the food they eat, how exercise helps the body, or how the reproductive system works.
That's where Science Connected comes in. This nonprofit exists to make science more accessible by creating equal access to science education, responsible science journalism, and readily-available research. When science is accessible and available, science literacy goes up, and with increased science literacy comes a more informed, more engaged, and more responsible citizenry.
Access to science means many things:
- Easy-to-read, well-researched information
- Hands-on experiences that don't require lab access or expensive materials
- Nearby science programs and activities within an engaged community
- Educational resources that bring more science into classrooms
Science Connected improves accessibility to science in all these areas. Through the organization's flagship publication, GotScience Magazine, the team works closely with researchers, journalists, universities, and industry leaders to provide cutting-edge research findings to people of all ages and backgrounds, as well as publishing classroom materials for teachers to use for free.
As a member of the Citizen Science Association, Science Connected also promotes community-organized projects and independent experimentation. Crowdsourced research, individual experiments, and self-published materials are all essential contributions to greater science literacy.
Science Connected is running an IndieGogo campaign to expand its free online magazine, GotScience.org, and to continue making science more accessible to learners of all ages.
Running an open-access magazine requires writers, editors, bandwidth, and public relations, as well as ongoing relationships with science journalists, researchers, and media organizations. While many of the contributing writers and editors volunteer their time, donations are still important to maintain the organization's infrastructure. Here's what funds raised through the Indiegogo campaign will be used for:
- Membership in scientific organizations to make sure sources are all accurate
- Writing stipends for GotScience journalists and researchers
- Maintaining the Science Connected and GotScience websites
An assortment of thank-you gifts have been prepared for campaign supporters. For a donation of $5, you'll get a social media shout-out. For $10 to $150, the range of gifts includes handwritten thank-you notes, exclusive photographic prints, stickers, mugs, and stainless steel water bottles. A $250 donation brings you all of the above and a highly visible, public thank-you on the website.
This is an incredibly important campaign, especially in this uncertain era of science skepticism, threats to public education, reduced funding for the Environmental Protection Agency, and an unfortunate distrust of expertise. With only a month of the campaign left, Science Connected needs to raise $3,000 to meet the goal. Every dollar helps. Your contribution doesn't only help Science Connected—it helps everyone with a passion for learning about science.

TUALATIN, OR (CNN) – Jack Phillips admits he's lucky when he sees what's left of his semi's cab.
Police said a dump truck cut in front of Phillips' truck Wednesday afternoon on Southwest Tualatin-Sherwood Road at Nyberg Road just west of Interstate 5. It caused Phillips to lose his load of steel beams.
Phillips was sitting in the tight space next to where a steel beam ripped into the cab.
'The only thing that was left was my little cubicle. Everything else had steel coming through this way took out the dash," Phillips said.
The back of his truck's sleeper cab was shredded – torn open when thousands of pounds of steel girders slid forward off his trailer.
One steel beam pierced the cab so hard, it also took out the cab`s front window.
"30,000 pounds is what I loaded on. One of the I-beams, steel beams, came right past my head and through the dash and right out the windshield," he stated. "Yeah, yeah, so I was very lucky. That's putting it lightly! Yes!"
Phillips was getting ready to head north on I-5 when a dump truck and trailer cut in front of him. The trailer clipped Phillips` cab. Jack slammed on the breaks, the steel slid forward, Jack could hear it coming.
"I knew that the load had broke loose, and was coming forward," Phillips said. "I didn't know what else to do other than duck my head and hope for the best."
It was Jack`s lucky day in more ways than one.
The steel that went through the cab is curved. By chance, he had the curved steel loaded with the end curved away from the driver's side of the cab.
"If I'd have loaded the load just the opposite, it would have curved to the left and gone out the driver's window. So I mean it was just luck of the way that I loaded it today," Phillips said.
Looking back at what happened, Phillips knows how fortunate he is to walk away alive.
"That looks bad," Phillips said.
Does he feel lucky enough to buy a lottery ticket?
"I'm going to, yes," he said. "And the police officers all want me to buy them lottery tickets as well."
Authorities ticketed the driver of the dump truck and trailer that cut in front of Phillips' truck for causing the crash.
