A Columbia man who told authorities he was okay after crashing his vehicle Saturday morning has died.
Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said 77-year-old Peter Kremlick was the driver and only occupant of his Dodge van that was reported to have swerved to miss another vehicle and struck a utility pole on Columbiana Drive.
The collision happened around 10 a.m. near Crossbow Drive, which where Texas Roadhouse is located.
Hours after refusing treatment at the scene, Kremlick started having headaches and became confused, Watts said.
According to a police incident report, Kremlick lives less than two miles from the accident scene.
He was taken for medical treatment but died around 11:00 a.m. Sunday morning at Lexington Medical Center from a head injury associated with the crash.
Lexington Medical Center ER Dr. Todd Crump says sometimes, a high-impact event like a car crash causes internal bleeding in the brain.
The condition can develop slowly with the victim experiencing a progression of symptoms similar to those reported in the Kremlick case.
Of course, it's not just car accidents that can lead to these life-threatening situations.
It's one reason head injuries from contact sports are under heavy scrutiny by amateur and professional leagues all over the nation. Crump says anyone who suffers from a blow to the head needs to be watched closely even if they say they're alright.
The City of Columbia Police Department is investigating the incident.

The long case of football hazing that took place on Las Vegas, New Mexico nearly two years ago has finally ended and the ringleader of the incident was sentenced to a year in prison for holding down younger members of the team and sodomizing them with a broomstick.
A Las Vegas, N.M., teenager has been sentenced to a maximum one-year term at a juvenile jail for his role in the August 2008 sexual assaults of teammates on the Robertson High School football squad. Eighteen-year-old Lucas Martinez was led away in handcuffs Thursday from a Santa Fe courtroom after Judge Mark Macaron determined his involvement rose to a level justifying commitment to a juvenile facility. Several boys were held down against their will and sodomized with broomsticks during a training camp.

In the first quarter of 2002, productivity in the nonfarm business sector grew at annual rate of 8.6 percent, with output increasing 6.2 percent and hours decreasing 2.2 percent.

It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making.

Steve Crowder of Fox News has now posted what he says is the complete, edited footage of his melee with a union protester in Michigan earlier this month. Crowder has said he is cooperating with police and pressing charges, claiming he was assaulted by the protester. Unions advocates and liberal pundits have countered that the footage was edited.
My own analysis is that the footage is ambiguous. We see Crowder mostly talking with the union protester, often with his hands halfway up in an apparent effort to indicate he doesn't want trouble. The protester looks to be in his 50s and has a black jacket, black hat and white mustache and is visibly angry. There is so much croud noise the audio is often hard to make out. Chants used by the protesters include "F**k this tent" (directed at the Americans for Prosperity tent they later tear down) and "Snyder is a d**k." Crowder appears calm while the protesters are often in his face.
At around the 5:40 mark, the fight begins. The protester in the black jacket is shown to have fallen to the ground as the crowd is tearing down the tent. Just prior to that he had been shown having words with another bearded individual in front of the tent while Crowder is nearby. The protester calls the other fellow a "f**king rat." About two seconds later the protester is on the ground. A voice, apparently Crowder's, is heard saying: "You just assaulted me, man."
It is not clear how the man fell. The camera – which is often jostled in the clip – happens to be pointed in a different direction at that precise moment. It is not clear if Crowder shoved him, or if somebody else did or if it was a simple accident. Crowder has said he believes the man tripped over a tent peg. The protester though apparently believes that Crowder was responsible and hops back up swinging at the younger man, who tries to wrestle with him. The protester appears to get in two or three solid punches before they are separated, with Crowder again putting his hands up in an "I don't want to fight" gesture. A voice can be heard saying: "He's got a gun." No gun is seen though, and the fight is apparently over. A second man in a tan overcoat is briefly shown grabbing Crowder from the collar from behind but he lets go.

How can one thing be in 2 places at once?
From my understanding, the Quantum theory supports the idea of parallel universes. It suggests that when i make the decision to sit here and type this and ask it to the TED community, there is another "me" in different dimension that is not doing that....in fact, he is probably not a fan of TED community to begin with and is probably kicking a soccer ball in his bedroom or something. I want to hear the TED community's reaction to this notion.

All-22 Review Week 3
An ugly game, that features an ugly tape. The Bills loss to the Jets featured a variety of defensive looks that EJ Manuel had little experience against. The Jets mixed their looks, and had a go-to package that shut down the Bills passing game. Here's the "book" on the Bills offense, for now. All-22 review.
I'll start things off with a review of EJ Manuel's day. The Bills rookie QB has shown plenty of good things to this point in his NFL career, but Rex Ryan's defense was able to show him a little something of their own. We'll check in on NFL ridiculousness on 3rd and 1, and stop to visit Colin Brown's struggles along the way.
Jets find the antidote
EJ Manuel has been able to expose multiple coverages. He can throw in front of the safeties in a Cover 2, as we saw against New England. He's shown a knack for finding receivers over the middle of the field, breaking in from vertical routes when Carolina was back in Cover 3.
So here it is...
This package is what really seemed to fluster Manuel. The Jets played man coverage on the Bills receivers with one safety over the top. They didn't do it on every play, but they did have plenty of success with it.
These will look quite similar. These are sacks, incompletions, scrambles, and negative plays all rolled in to one.
A few times here and there the LBs would pass Chandler from one to the next, but the man coverage (with varying distances and press coverage) was a constant that the Bills struggled to beat.
Here's a full play, with Colin Brown featured...for the wrong reason.
The Bills set up in a 3 WR, 1 TE set with Manuel in the shotgun and Fred Jackson in the backfield. This is a package the Bills run as their base in passing situations. TJ Graham is often featured out on his own while Robert Woods and Stevie Johnson are split to the other side with Stevie in the slot. Chandler on this play is lined up on the left side of the offensive line.
Off the snap the Jets get their matchups...man to man...with safety help over the top.
The Bills have both Stevie Johnson and Scott Chandler planning on turning out, and working to the sideline...but they never get the chance. #96 in Green, Muhammad Wilkerson blows through Colin Brown.
The Bills receivers are still working straight up the field, and Manuel is already in trouble.
Note the receivers flash to the outside....but Maneul is down.
This sack isn't on Manuel at all. It sits on Brown. However, the vertical routes the Bills receivers are running are a constant throughout the game. EJ Manuel's best throw (in my opinion) is the seam throw to both Chandler (that he'd hit for a TD later in the game...but only because the Jets badly blew that man coverage) or to Stevie Johnson. With Johnson he'll drop the ball right in front of the safety. These verticals are a strength of the team, that the Jets found a way to take away through man/press, and an effective pass rush.
This is just one play, but he had friends that looked just like him.
Confusing Looks
The Jets also effectively used the zone blitz to confuse Manuel a bit. Plenty of times you'd see NY crowd the line of scrimmage. It felt like they rushed 8 every play, right? It might have felt that way, and that's part of the design. The Jets showed 8, and would bring 5, or 6, etc.
The Jets crowd the box and represent that they're bringing some serious pressure....but they dont.
Three defenders drop back into a zone, and Manuel is faced with a zone blitz. The near side DB that's lined up over Robert Woods comes on a corner blitz. This is from EJ Manuel's blindside and Woods runs his route...in this case it's a go.
Tight End Lee Smith flashes open on the near side seam but Maneul isn't looking this way. I'd also wonder if Woods/Manuel in the future would have the freedom to make a quick throw to get the ball to Woods with one man to beat for some good yardage.
Instead the throw goes up the sideline to Stevie Johnson. The sideline throw really killed them. We all watched it, and we all know it. Worth pointing out though is that it's not just the sideline miss that's bad, it's the other throw that wasn't made.
Over The Top
They had one. Robert Woods had 'em beat.
This is the NFL, and that means you'll have your chances. We're still waiting on that Bills deep ball to hit, and here are two that maybe could have. The first is a throw to Robert Woods that (it appears) EJ considers briefly.
Graham on his own runs a comeback route while Stevie moves to the flat and Robert Woods drops a double move to run as far as he can on this play.
Manuel has time. Protection holds up as the Jets rush only three and squat most of their coverage in a short zone. Woods runs his vertical, he breaks...
He rolls to the outside and then plants and screams upfield. Manuel has the time. And appears to have a look at it.
But he opts to tuck and roll instead.
Woods is open deep, but Manuel is on the move. The play is not dead....there's another chance for a huge gain. As Manuel rolls, TJ Graham slips behind the defense and the throw if completed would get big yards.
But he misses...
Graham had room, but the ball found the sideline and went incomplete. That darn sideline.
Then the 4th down play that effectively ended the game was a throw to the wrong side as well. If the sideline is a problem, how about throwing the other way, where Stevie Johnson is going full speed by a safety that's standing still. You had room. The Jets gambled here, and very well could have been burned.
If nothing else, on a 4th and 10...Stevie gives you more of the playing field to work with.
The Jets had very good coverage most of the day. They didn't give EJ his soft zone spots to hit. They pressed the Bills WRs and forced Manuel to make throws into man coverage. He didn't do it very well. Perhaps in time he'll know the reads better. Perhaps the design of the offense will change a bit and come off the verticals when you're running so consistently against man coverage.
NFL Coaching
Now on to my favorite thing.
3rd and 1 play calling in the NFL.
I realize the Jets are in this alignment because the Bills are in shotgun. I don't care. The All-22 does a nice job of illustrating the kinds of gaps that there are in a defensive line. Run the spread, sneak, and take your first down. The Bills of course had a much better idea.
It's 3rd down and ONE. Here's the play.
Erik Pears will look to cut down low, while Urbik and Brown swing to the right. Fred Jackson takes the handoff and tries to follow the run over right guard for one yard.
The line of scrimmage is the 32. By the time that Fred Jackson gets the handoff...it's the 33 at best.
Four Jets defenders have penetrated. Pears didn't get much, and the point of attack...is being attacked. It's a mess in there.
So if NFL coaches still think the best idea to get one yard is to move a ton of flesh from right to left, around a center, cut block, pull guard, blah blah blah....who am I to question it right? Maybe next time just fall forward? No? Anyone?
Do it twice.
The Bills lost 2 here. They didn't get 4th and 3.
Thanks folks. Till next week.

It may sound too good to be true, a wrap applied to your body that offers almost immediate fat loss. I set out to see if they really work."When I first started coming in, I always thought, well, it's a gimmick. I'll try it and stuff like that. I've been through four weeks now and the results are remarkable for me," says John Sayler.John Sayler has been losing weight and working out for years, but still had some trouble losing inches around his abdomen."What I've noticed with the wrap is that it actually focuses on that area. And, I can still eat right and work out and lose the weight and I'm also losing the inches, so that's the motivating thing about it," says Sayler.
And these wraps not only claim get rid of fat, but detoxify the body at the same time. "Our wrap is organic niacin-based cream, which actually works from the outside in. So, it's a transdermal cream that used the cell as a vehicle to pull toxins from the fat cells in the lymphatic system," says Dr. Kirk Blackwood.I wanted to see how these work for myself, so we wrapped my right leg, using the special creams and saran wrap.
"Ok, so what we're going to do today is we're just going to do a body wrap. We're going to start with the exfoliation. What it's going to do is just going to to remove all the oils, creams, anything and everything that's on your skin," says Sayler.Next, the niacin-based cream was applied to my leg, saran wrap was put over that. And then, the waiting game began. The wrap is on nice and tight now and the process was extremely quick and painless, which was important. So now, we just sit about 45 minutes and wait until I'm ready to be cut out of the wrap. From my experience today, body wraps are a painless and relaxing.

Building your own Nagios plugins
You can build a plugin in Perl to harness the power of the Nagios monitoring tool.
You may be familiar with the scene: you hear the sound of your decidedly non-technical partner in the next room shouting "My Internet isn't working!" Of course, painstakingly checking if the router really is talking to your service provider, and if the DNS server is reachable, would be one possible response. But troubleshooting is a lot easier if you have a software tool that keeps an eye on critical functions and gives you a friendly web-based summary like the one shown in Figure 1. An open source tool called Nagios is perfect for this kind of monitoring. The developers have a long list of plugins at [2]. The plugins can help you monitor websites, databases, networks, and many other things. And if you have a special requirement not covered by the standard plugins, you can tailor a plugin to meet your needs.

Remember all those stories about the federal government buying millions of rounds of hollow point pistol ammo?
I suspect that those agencies will be dumping a lot of that in about 5-7 years. Local police departments will get first cut at it. But that means the local police won't need as much from their regular sources. In any event, the price of pistol ammo will fall to rock bottom.
Of course, the government then could always just dump it into the ocean to keep that from happening or pay to store it indefinitely. But even it they simply hand onto it for their own training use, it will result in noticably lower prices since the feds will be overstocked and not buying any more.

The Lovett Lions are off to an impressive start, having won their first four games to earn the state's No. 2 ranking for Class AA. Last Friday, they beat AAA's No. 2 team, St. Pius X, 28-7 in a game they led 28-0. I recently chatted with Lions coach Mike Muschamp about the season thus far and why his team is succeeding, among other topics:
Krohn: The big win against St. Pius X – did you expect such a convincing win?
Muschamp: No, we did not. The ball just kind of went our way, I think. The defense did a great job of taking away what St. Pius X does well early on, and we scored points early and it took them out of their game.
Are you concerned your kids could become overconfident?
I'm not worried about them being overconfident. As coaches, we do everything we can to make sure they know where they are in the season. We can deflate that overconfidence if it needs to be.
Talk about how your team has executed the game plan so far this season. Are they doing the little things?
I think that's why we're where we are – we're doing the little things. We are never going to be as big and fast and strong as the teams we play, and we accept that challenge. So far, we've done good at doing the little things, like lining up correctly and covering gaps and the tings other teams might not be doing quite as well. Were' playing good mentally and physically.
What do you feel you need to work on most?
In order to be kind of team I think we want to become, we've got to continue to work hard. A lot of teams start to have success and then stop working hard. We want to make sure we don't do that. With the season and schedule we're playing, all teams are good and well-coached, so we cant be taking steps back. The way I see it, you're either getting better or worse, so as long as we're striving for perfection, hopefully good things will happen.
Does this year feel special/different?
No, not really. With the football season, each day is a great day, watching kids progress since Aug. 1. That's the fun part about it, is each year is different and special and it's always a lot of fun watching kids grow together.
Talk about how you go about building your out of region schedule. How does it come together? It seems like you really wanted to challenge your team before your region schedule began.
We always want to play the best opponent we can and preferably in our classification, and reduce travel time. We don't want to take our kids out of class unless it's the playoffs. We look for best quality opponent we can find and call as many teams as we could – the teams on our schedule are the teams that called us back. We set up the home and away games, thinking about challenges that could give us problems in the playoffs. We don't want to be in Week 11 facing the option for the first time when the opposition has been doing it for 14 weeks and you have to prepare in three days. So we schedule teams that run the option and spread to prepare for the likes of Calhoun and others. We want to go get the best opponents we can.
(Playing teams in higher classifications) was not by design, it's just how it worked out. Weslyan, GAC, Westminster – they're all having to do same thing. We try to set up a good challenge that's also not a three-hour bus ride. This is supposed to be extracurricular. Thomasville had to drive four hours last year and a whole day of school missed. That's not supposed to be that way. Now, the playoffs are a different story.
I try to engage with my readers as much as possible and listen to their comments, ignorant or insightful. One of the sticking points some seem to go to with your region is that it's small and almost impossible not to make the playoffs. Is that a fair knock and is that how you see it?
On one end, you'd think everyone (in Region 6-AA) is going to make the playoffs. On the other hand, between playing the and region and non-region schedule – it's next to impossible to not play teams in higher classifications – you're playing weeks of physical, well-coached opponents that play hard (in the region). So you're not at any advantage when you get to the playoffs.
What do you think are the biggest challenges standing in your team's way of a second region title and how important is the No. 1 seed for you, as opposed to a 2 or even 3?
Getting through the games against our biggest opponents and the region schedule while staying healthy is the challenge. Everyone is playing outside the region and classification right now, so I don't think you can look at our region records and know how good it is yet. The biggest factor is whose the healthiest. … The No. 1 seed means home field in the first three rounds, so you always want to be at home. We've always done well on the road, but we'd much rather play at home. The No. 2 seed is going to get a home game, and home games make the routine easier.
Do you feel you have the best team in the state?
No, not at all – we're nowhere near where we want to be. But we're happy with our progress.
Do you think the rankings mean anything to your players?
Not really. Ranking teams in high school is so hard to do. In college, you see everyone play on TV and who they have on their team. In high school, there's no way to get down and see Seminole County (in Donalsonville) play. Talking about rankings during the season is – I'm not going to say not a waste of time, but a guess more than anything else. Someone in north Georgia is supposed to decide where teams like Vidalia and Benectine fall in the rankings. I know I haven't seen them on film.

What Makes This Daily Deal Champ a Preferred Choice for Tudor & Soros?
Shweta is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
I like 13F filings. They tell us a lot more about what the investing legends are betting on. Looking at the 3Q 2012 SEC disclosures of my two favorites--George Soros and Paul Tudor--I found one thing common to both. They have both acquired a significant position in Groupon. Soros acquired 2.5 million shares in Groupon, while Tudor's 13F showed 150,000 shares. Their other favorite picks were Facebook, Walt Disney and Zynga.
Let's have a look at why these stocks are so appealing:
Facebook is becoming a success story in advertising revenue with its innovative sponsored stories on mobile/PC. With user base growth of 30% year over year, Facebook has remained focused on increasing its product portfolio in a short amount of time. The new launches of Facebook Exchange, Offers, and Mobile App Install make it a favorite among users and investors alike.
The addition of Lucasfilm by Walt Disney to its already strong brand portfolio has increased its interest among investors. Disney is reporting growth in consumer traffic to its newly opened Cars Land in California and New Cruise Ship launch in Hong Kong. To continue the positivity, Disney has planned new investments of ~$500 million in theme parks during 2013.
Zynga has monetized its competitive advantage well, given its association with Facebook. Now its transition from web to mobile games platforms is defining its strategy, with new launches set for every quarter in the coming year. It includes more mobile and web games, online poker, and Casino games.
So what makes Groupon a favorite?
For the first time in the last four years Groupon, a daily deal champion, posted profits this quarter. Its disappointing 3Q 2012 earnings, mainly due to weakness in the European economy, have sent its shares trading at $2.73, down ~90% since its IPO (Nov. 2011). However, its revenues for the quarter were up by~32% (Y/Y). I see Groupon as one of those companies in a transition stage from a high-growth start to a viable public company. And, considering the long term growth fundamentals that still seem intact to me, I don't see why it should fail.
Let us consider what can power Groupon's Growth?
Mobile transactions
For the third quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, Groupon has marked one third of its North American transactions coming through mobile, an increase of 30% Y/Y. Keeping the traction along with continued growth, Groupon has partnered with Nokia to show daily deals via maps for Nokia Lumia users. With the rapid growth in the mobile space, and internet giants like Facebook and Amazon already cashing in, I think Groupon has already sensed the potential in this area. Its stress over mobile commerce and its launching of new apps to ease the payment system is an indicator of the company's initiative towards it.
One shop for retailer's e-commerce
Groupon's CEO Andrew Mason has laid out plans of diversification beyond daily deals. With a goal "To become the operating system for local commerce," Groupon acquired Breadcrumb and Savored to expand in (POS) services.
Savored is a discount meal and restaurant reservation provider with a client base of 1000 restaurants, which belong to the high end market. It offers discounts of up to 40% off of bills.
The Breadcrumb acquisition is aimed to trap local hospitality businesses (bars, restaurants, similar retail businesses). Breadcrumb fully integrated with Groupon Payments and launched an iPad based point-of-sale (POS) service. The service allows merchants to swipe credit cards through consumers' iPhones or iPads and iPod Touch. It offers the cheapest merchant fees of $0.15 (parallel to Square) per swipe, plus an additional transaction fee depending on the card used. The service adds a competitive advantage for Groupon, as it allows easy transfer of payments in the merchant's account within one day (which usually takes 2-3 working days).
Groupon's new POS service will give it an advantage over its rival Google, as it does not have any sure-shot MCommerce service. Although the larger company launched Google Wallet (May 2011), which uses the NFC technology to pay through mobile, it failed from both the ends, i.e. merchants and consumers, due to lack of integration with popular devices such as the iPhone.
Global footprint
Groupon is partnering with Tencent, the Chinese internet giant, to compete against similar sites and help improve its earlier failed version in daily deals. Groupon is also merging its Chinese JV Gaopeng with FTuan, a Beijing-based deal site that offers dining and purchase deals and holds a healthy investment by Tencent. The merger will create a multi-brand strategy that will strengthen Groupon's position and increase its scale of operations. The integration could benefit both the companies from the shrinking market of Chinese deal sites, which came down to ~1000 from 3000 in the past year, as both companies hold the top position in their respective industry.
To sum up, I am quite optimistic about Groupon's performance in the long haul, given its progressive outlook on new sources of revenue. Leveraging its marketing expenses, it is increasing its active user base at the rate of 37% Y/Y with a current score of 40 million (Sept. 2012). Additionally, its scale of operations with a reach in 48 countries, healthy merchant relationships, new product offerings, and improved ROI creates an entry barrier for new businesses. It already has a strong presence in the market, its new POS offerings are set to dominate the peer group, and market expansions will tune up its future growth. At a forward P/E of 11.38, I think the stock offers a good buy opportunity.

Case studies
Red Gate's tools are generally considered to be the gold standard.
SQL Compare is fast, extremely easy to use – Red Gate pays a huge amount of attention to its UIs – full-featured and affordable. I wouldn't bother messing around with anything else.
Adam Machanic, SQL Server MVP
Having used SQL Server since version 6.0, back in the 90's, I recently purchased the Red Gate SQL Toolbelt. As a real world developer / administrator, I am absolutely shocked at how good this product is. They think of everything. I never thought I would care too much about improving the process of performing a backup and restore, but even that simple task is so much easier with SQL Backup. Ship to the network is a beauty, I spent days previously with batch files to achieve this.
SQL Prompt would have saved me thousands of hours, and the auto format is really slick. When you use this for a week, you will never, ever do without it again. Just type "SSF" and you have "Select * from " and there are loads more snippets like this.
In the last few days, I am working on a project where I have a large database that I am trying to merge with another large database, I was able to achieve it with SQL Compare and then with SQL Data compare. I cannot imagine how I would have done it without these tools.
I postponed buying this for so long, but I do not regret it. If you make money with SQL Server, and you have a car and do not have the SQL Toolbelt, sell you car and buy this product, you will go further, faster with this.
Mark Breen, Margin Business Solutions Ltd
I've been a SQL DBA for about as long as there has been SQL. I really appreciate so many things about Red Gate... The tools are top notch. I use at least one every single day. The pricing is very reasonable, and - best of all - is the customer support. I get quick answers to all my questions from a knowledgeable and professional staff member. Such a departure from the industry as a whole. I'll be a customer for quite a long time.
Steve Gray MCDBA, Vice President, 4Penny.net
Whenever I show people any Red Gate software it's like they just escaped communist Russia and have a new life to live.
Scott Cowan, Senior Engineer, Sportinginsider.com
I was able to see how the Red Gate support team performs when I was under pressure and they did a great job. We have actually decided to implement your product here instead of using TOAD for SQL. Your product is first rate. The SQL Toolbelt provides tools that database developers as well as DBAs should not live without. Excellent product and a great support team.
William Van Orden, Senior Database Developer, Lockheed Martin
I used SQL Compare with a previous employer and loved it so much I brought the experience here. This time, we bought the whole package. Love it!

Can a country with a large population find better and more efficient solutions to its problems under Communism?
I am from India, the world's largest democracy. I do believe in democracy but somehow, when it comes to finding solutions to problems, a communist government seems to find effective solutions most of the time.
Is communism a better approach towards problems being faced by a country with a large population or is it something which can cost us our individual rights and liberal thinking in the process of enforcing "good" solutions to solve our problems?
This occurred to me when I took a look at China, which is a major force to reckon with in today's world. It has found solutions to a lot of its problems and has been able to solve them because they were able to enforce those solutions, being communist.

Feb 10 2013: Cannot agree more. Another problem of Indian thinking is to copy and paste western solutions. Or, if not copy-paste, modifying western models and running it assuming that it will produce results.
However, pure Indian thinking and by that I mean conceiving solutions from purely Indian perspective, has been found to work wonderfully. For example the computerized/electronic railway reservation system, including the software that does it, is completely indigenous to India and it is by far the most successful and robust booking system and also the largest in the world.
Indian electioneering (I believe the term was coined in India) is another success. China never had to conduct elections with 500 million voters, collect the ballots and declare results within a week without much of fuss.
I agree with Kate in as much as that it's products stink of sweat shops and the success that China has made is more due to the exemplary industriousness and discipline of Chinese people than due to communism.
Mar 6 2013: Agree - If India addresses Corruption issue and minimises the same it would be a great Economy.
Guess in the last 2 yrs - Indian Courts have boldly asked the Govt to Cancel Telecom Licences which involved bribery of millions of $; Sahra Group has also been brought to its senses by courts. In the last two years Business Community (India & International) have understood that as a short term measure they can gain heavily by bribing but over a period of few years they will be caught (even in India).
One of the main reasons for Corruption in India is - Laws & Procedures governing India have been copied from British (about 50 yrs ago) and have not been revised to address the Huge increase in Populations and its needs.
Comment deleted
Mar 6 2013: In fact I am blaming Indians for not focusing on revising Indian Laws in tune with changed circumstances.
With a GDP growth rate of 6% India should have been doing well but unfortunately it is dragged down by rapid growth of population 17% per annum (on a base of 1.7 billion).
Hope we find solutions to curtail the population growth rate.

Liberal Arts Colleges Program
Program Staff
Philip E. Lewis, Vice President
Eugene M. Tobin, Senior Program Officer
Mary Bates, Program Associate
Susan I. Dady, Program Associate
Sharon Blackwell, Executive Assistant to the Vice President and Program Officer
More than 125 liberal arts colleges benefit either from direct grants or from support the Liberal Arts Colleges Program provides through various consortia and associations. The seven consortia currently affiliated with the Program include the Appalachian Colleges Association, which, prior to 2010, was the beneficiary of a separate Foundation program. All grants made by the Liberal Arts Colleges Program result from invitations issued by the Foundation to institutions and organizations with which staff have engaged in preliminary exchanges. Uninvited proposals are not considered. On the basis of criteria, established over several decades, by which the Foundation distinguishes the liberal arts college from other postsecondary institutions, the program has selected approximately seventy colleges that are eligible to seek direct grants from the Foundation. Fundamental among these criteria is a preponderant institutional commitment to a broad liberal education, as opposed to pre-professional training.
The discussions that lead the program's officers to request proposals typically involve presidents and/or chief academic officers and bear primarily upon academic needs and priorities. The program does not provide support for facilities or financial aid to students, nor does it make grants to individuals. Since grants are usually subject to no more than one or two renewals, the program expects proposals either to involve finite projects or to include commitments to sustain the Foundation-supported activity with institutional resources after grant funds are exhausted. Staff do not expect to expand the cohort of institutions eligible for grants in the foreseeable future. This stems in part from the Foundation's practice of maintaining grantmaking levels that are responsive to substantial institutional needs and in part from the program's long-term objective of developing and strengthening multi-institutional consortia.
Like the Foundation's other grant programs that support higher education, the Liberal Arts Colleges Program regards the humanities, arts, and "humanistic" social sciences as its primary domain of interest. In general, the program's grants are aimed at providing additional research and professional opportunities for faculty members (Faculty Career Enhancement), strengthening the academic infrastructure of the liberal arts college (Libraries and Information Technology), and assisting colleges as they review and refurbish their curricular offerings (Curricular Development and Educational Effectiveness). In addition, Foundation staff work with liberal arts college presidents to devise grant support that addresses institutional and/or strategic planning goals (Presidential Support).
In recent years, the Liberal Arts Colleges Program has established two non-profit organizations that serve institutions of higher education:
- The National Institute for Technology in Liberal Education (NITLE) helps liberal arts colleges and universities use technology strategically and collaboratively to advance teaching and learning across the disciplines.
- The Emeriti Consortium for Retirement Health Solutions enables member institutions to offer their employees a tax-advantaged way to accumulate assets during the working years to help pay medical costs in retirement.
Current Programs
Grants awarded in the Liberal Arts Colleges Program can be grouped under the four primary rubrics that were noted above:
- Faculty Career Enhancement:
Grants in this category aim to address the professional needs of faculty members across the distinct stages of a professorial career. Proposals to support opportunities for faculty to pursue research, pedagogical training, course or program development, and study in fields outside of the individual's specialty may emanate from either single colleges or groups of cooperating institutions. Proposals that incorporate post-doctoral fellowships for recent recipients of the PhD are expected to provide not only opportunities for scholars embarking on academic careers to pursue their research, but to emphasize their initiation to teaching and to productive participation in a liberal arts college community.
- Libraries and Information Technology:
This effort seeks to strengthen the library's role in a rapidly changing technological environment and to promote both intra- and inter-institutional collaborations and cost-saving efforts. Many of the grants in this area have assisted faculty members, librarians, and information technology staff in making effective use of electronic resources for teaching and research.
- Curricular Development and Educational Effectiveness:
The objective of grantmaking under this heading is to enable institutions to: (1) address ongoing needs to revise or enhance the curriculum and restructure degree requirements; (2) promote interdisciplinary academic and research programs across the arts, humanities, and human sciences; (3) foster student and faculty research partnerships; and (4) support curricular continuity by ensuring some overlap of new and retiring faculty members.
- Presidential Support:
This initiative supports presidential efforts to articulate an institutional vision or strategy for development, to make and carry out plans for academic renewal, to foster a sense of community on campus, to promote productive town-gown relations, and to form constructive alliances with sister institutions.
From time to time, Foundation staff convene academic leaders for discussions of the liberal arts college sector—its mission, challenges, prospects, and aspirations—of higher education.
Program Contact Information
Before writing, please review the Foundation's general requirements for grant proposals in the Grant Inquiries section of this Web site.
Please direct grant and reporting inquiries to:

Proof: R&D Investment Pays Off
Thomson Reuters announced its 2013 Top 100 Global Innovators the week of Oct 7., 2013, a list of the who's who in innovation based on a series of proprietary patent metrics using its Derwent World Patents Index database.
The 2013 honorees comprise many of the likely suspects: AT&T, Apple, Google, Ford, L'Oreal and Microsoft, as well as some that aren't so likely: Alcatel Lucent, Blackberry and Ericsson.
Annually, Thomson Reuters analysts look at all companies around the world that file patents and perform a deep dive analysis of those with 100 or more unique inventions over the last three-year period. They measure each patent holder according to the number of its unique inventions, its success of applications to grants, the global nature of its patent portfolio and its influence on future innovation.
The company also performs financial analysis on the Top 100, to see how they fare year over year, as well as compared to the S&P 500 stock index. Read More

Advances in Imaging Reveal New and Better Ways to Fight Cancer
Imaging may be the most rapidly advancing technology in oncology today. Far beyond the traditional uses to screen, stage disease, and follow patients for recurrence or progression, we now have the ability to image across various levels of biological organization, not just organs or tumors, but also molecules, single cells, and tissues. Such information - obtained in real time and noninvasively - can provide important details about whether patients may be candidates for certain therapies or provide a rapid assessment of whether they are responding to treatment.
This special issue of the NCI Cancer Bulletin provides a window into just some of the exciting work being done in the field of cancer imaging, from individual research projects to NCI's support of companies developing new imaging technologies through our Small Business Innovation Research Program or through collaborations with private-sector partners as part of NCI's recently launched Advanced Technology Partnerships Initiative. Read more
Clinic Will Speed Drug Development
When NCI's new Molecular Imaging Clinic opens in January 2009, it will be one of the few places in the world where state-of-the-art imaging tools are dedicated to understanding how drugs behave in people with cancer. What is learned there could help investigators determine how best to use existing drugs and determine the properties of new molecularly targeted drugs that are just entering the clinic.
"Our goal is to use advanced imaging technologies to accelerate the development of therapies for cancer," said Dr. Peter Choyke, who directs the Molecular Imaging Program in NCI's Center for Cancer Research (CCR). He has assembled a multidisciplinary team that includes imaging scientists, chemists, physicists, engineers, oncologists, and molecular biologists. They have many collaborators inside and outside NCI. Read more
