Last Sample and Home
We finished our work at the river transect. Now we had one more sample to collect. Alamgir had arranged for drillers at this new site, but they were delayed because of a knife fight between two villages over some property.
We finished our work at the river transect. Now we had one more sample to collect. Alamgir had arranged for drillers at this new site, but they were delayed because of a knife fight between two villages over some property.
The success of the tube wells for drilling and obtaining samples was a great boon to our field program. We drilled three additional tube wells to complete a five-well transect across the abandoned river valley. When we date the samples, we will find out if the river switched position suddenly, possibly from an earthquake.
The resistivity testing was hampered by bad roads and flooded fields. The augering was proving similarly difficult in the thick muds of the abandoned channel. It was time to change to our alternative plan: drilling with tube wells. That worked better and we had turned a corner.
Heading out to our field area, we discovered that the abandoned river valley we planned to study was completely flooded. There was pani—the Bangla word for water—everywhere.
Returning to Bangladesh for additional fieldwork, I stopped off in India for several meetings, but we found time for some sightseeing, too. We were able to see the Qutub Minar complex in Delhi as well as the Taj Mahal and Agra Fort in Agra. Plus all the meetings in Delhi, Kolkata and Dhaka were very successful.
We arrived in Kolkata, and filmed by the Hooghly River. While it is no longer the main channel of the Ganges, it is still the Holy Ganges and we saw a funeral procession spreading ashes of a loved one while filming there. Then a 5 hour trip by car, ferry, rickshaw and boat to the Indian Sundarbans. The mangrove forest here is undergoing more erosion and land loss than in Bangladesh, where more river sediments can replenish it. The water here is more saline and the trees are small. A tiger was spotted by another boat, but was gone when we got there.
In the small town of Kolasib, we stayed in Hotel Cloud 9. I had been told since I was a child that I was always off on Cloud 9 and now I was actually here. However, the electricity wasn't for the first few hours, so showers were cold, but the dinner was hot.
We finished our time in the Sundarbans with a silent boat ride in a tidal creek. The highlight was sets of fresh tiger footprints. We then had a long sail back to Dhaka with only one stop at a village. We then had a whirlwind tour of Old Dhaka with enough shopping to send the students back happy.
Leaving Hiron Point, we headed east through the Sundarbans to Kotka. At Kotka the students had walks through the forest seeing deer, wild boar and monkeys, while a smaller group also sampled near a set of 300 year old salt making kilns for OSL dating. We managed to finish while the tide inundated the site. We ended our day with a visit to an island that has recently emerged from the slain which the succession from bare sand to mangrove is visible.
We visited Polder 32, an embanked island in the delta that was flooded for almost two years when the embankment failed in several places during Cyclone Aila. In addition to the problem of increased subsidence due to the embankment, the area struggles for fresh water. Then we sailed to Hiron Point, a forest station in the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest. We serviced equipment we have here while our armed guards watch for tigers.

I installed this plugin in and now there is a widget available named secure HTML5 video player I assumed this is the widget to play videos for this plugin correct? I can not find documentation on it.
My main question..I am unsure if I understand the instructions on how to initially set this up. Am I supposed to copy and paste one of the directories in grey (as is), for example it says "Your public_html directory is:..." then gives info. I tried that and it did not work. Then I went into my hosting control panel and used the FTP file manager to create a new directory named videofolder and uploaded a video into it. Then I went back to the settings and in the video directory what am I supposed to put? Where do I find the directory info that goes there? Are the videos pulled from my wp media library?
I know this plugin will be great once I figure out the initial setup. I read through the posts on the plugin website and on here but still can not find any well explained instructions for the less techy on the video directory setup.

More enduring than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill- none have wrestled without pride. -Dan Gable
Latest News
Tonight's practice will be a combined practice from 6-7:30 at Skyline High School. We expect to begin split practices on November 2nd. Please check back for updates.

BitGold is a practical and effective way to own and use gold. BitGold is not a substitute for having physical gold in your possession, but it does have advantages of its own and it is certainly superior to owning a Gold ETF or having your gold stored at a bank. The ease of use, the 1% transaction cost and the fact that you can use your gold at any time through the use of a gold debit card, makes this an extremely practical way to own one of the best performing and safest investments in the world.
What advantage does BitGold have over cash in the bank?
There are three: First, gold is a store of value with a 3500 year pedigree. It has maintained its value over centuries, whereas paper money has a history of debasement. The dollar has lost 84% of its value since 1971 when the USA left the gold standard, whereas gold has increased in value from $35 to $1100 during the same period. If you wished to put something of value aside for your descendants in a time capsule to open in fifty years, would you put in paper money or gold? Gold does not rust, decay or change over time. Gold coins buried by the Romans still have value today despite the change of countless governments over the years. Gold has intrinsic value.
Second, gold is an outstanding investment over time. Recently, gold has dropped in price, however, since the turn of this century gold has returned roughly 10% per year. The stock market by comparison has returned just 3.82% per year including dividends since 2000. Yet the true comparison is with the dollar which has lost 28% of its purchasing power since 2000.
Finally, BitGold is not a bank. Henry Ford said of our banking system: "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
The average person assumes that when they deposit a $1000 with their bank, that the bank in turn lends that $1000 to another borrower at a higher rate of interest. But in fact, that $1000 deposit allows the bank to lend out $10,000.00. The other $9,000.00 is credit money electronically created by the bank. That is why it is called fractional reserve banking–a fractional of the original deposit, supports the credit money. Now you know why banks are so profitable–they charge interest on money that is simply a digital entry. Everything is works fine until someone defaults on a loan and the bank cannot repay the depositors in full. In short, banks lever up a slim amount of capital and create credit money which exists only on an electronic ledger. That is the core fault of our banking system and that is why BitGold is a revelation. BitGold is commodity money that is 100% backed by the physical commodity. And that commodity is the premier store of value for the last 3500 years.
The video below is one of the best summaries of our fiat money system, ignore it and take the blue pill or watch it and understand the value of BitGold:
In Times of Crisis People Want Gold
Right now this may seem unimportant, but in times of crisis gold always has value. The recent crises in Greece and Cyprus gave evidence to the fragility of the banking system. Greek banks were closed for weeks and then re-opened with maximum withdrawals of 300 Euros. Cyprus was worse, the banks were closed and the depositors were bailed in, which is simply another way of saying that up to 48% of their money on deposit was stolen by the government. Few people think this is likely in the USA as deposits are FDIC insured. However, the FDIC insures trillions of dollars and holds only 1.1% in reserves. Of course the government stands behind the system, but that simply means more money printing and what does that do to the value of the dollar versus gold?
During the Financial Crisis in 2008 the world was two hours away from shutting the banking system down. The reason for this is that people started to demand their cash. The informed people understood that actual cash in the form of bills and coins in the US financial system is a little over $1.30 trillion and by comparison, digital money in short-term accounts amounts to roughly 10 trillion; the stock market is roughly 20 trillion; the bond market and other money market instruments roughly 50 trillion. That is all digital money without substance, so the system is levered 80-1 in cash to credit money. During the crisis, investors who understood the banking system paid to put their money in T-bills rather than the banks, as they knew the truth about fractional reserve banking. y Conversely, a Bit Gold deposit is backed 100% by gold that is allocated in your name and stored at a Brinks location of your choice.
To be interested in Bit Gold, you need to agree that gold is a worthwhile investment and I trust I have demonstrated that. If so, then you need to understand how you buy the gold, how it is stored, how you can spend it and how you access it if you want the physical metal. As well, you need to know that your privacy is protected and your metal is secure.
BitGold Technology is Easy to Use
Opening an account is a breeze. I signed up and had my account operating almost immediately. There was no physical paperwork, Bit Gold simply required a scan of my photo ID and the rest was all done online and security confirmed through a mobile phone link. I was happily surprised at the ease of use. The gold may be purchased through several different channels: Bank wire, MasterCard, Visa, Interac, JCB and China UnionPay are all accepted. I simply used my Interac card and the interface took me right from the Bit Gold site to my bank site. I authorized the withdrawal and purchased the gold. At once I was informed by e-mail that a transaction occurred in my account. I then went to the transfer section of the site input my son's email address and sent him 4.117 grams of gold worth roughly $200. We both received e-mails notifying us that the transfer has occurred. It was very easy and swift.
The e-mail transfer is quite revolutionary in my mind. Not only can you send gold or money to someone who has an account, you can send it to people who do not have one and they will be notified so that they can open an account and receive the deposit. I'm sure that would have been a handy feature in Greece in their crisis. The ability to transfer gold outside of the banking system is a great advantage. Certainly, this will not appeal to the banks, but we are dealing with bailment law here and there are no restrictions on selling an asset for a fixed price provided the government is paid the capital gains tax. To facilitate that, your gains and losses are summarized in your account. Furthermore, there is a clear record of transfer and this works as a security measure as well as a tax record. BitGold have taken great pains to make certain that they abide with all government regulations and all transactions are totally transparent.
Your Gold and Your Privacy are Safe
So it is easy to buy and transfer but how safe is it? First, BitGold is a listed company on an established exchange. Their financials are audited and the firm is required to maintain appropriate insurance to back the gold and the company is audited quarterly by Price Waterhouse. Furthermore, amongst the founding shareholders are well known individuals such as George Soros, Eric Sprott and Albert Friedberg, multi-millionaires all .
The gold is stored in your choice of six vaults around the world operated by Brinks, an established public security company founded in 1849 and now operating with 134,000 employees and 650 offices around the world. Brinks also provide the insurance securing any gold loss. Also of some importance, a Bit Gold client has the ability to store their gold in Toronto, New York, Singapore, Zurich, Hong Kong and London and to physically redeem it from those locations in amounts as small as ten grams. They can also change vault locations without charge at anytime with the click of a mouse. Should confiscation become a concern this is a crucial feature.
The auditors of BitGold are Price Waterhouse Coopers a major worldwide firm employing 184,000 people in 776 locations and revenues of 32 billion. Audits are done quarterly, as Bit Gold is a public company. Fraud and theft are a concern in any type of storage business, but the closed nature of the system makes it very simple to trace any transaction and the insurance and integrity of Brinks and PWC stand behind the company.
Finally, remember that BitGold facilitates the purchase of your gold, but under bailment law they never take possession of the gold. The gold is allocated to you immediately. Unallocated gold as offered by the banks is simply a promise to pay. Allocated gold as with BitGold is your gold held by Brinks on your behalf. This is a huge distinction given the questions concerning rehypothecated gold claims and multiple claims to the same gold. Indeed, in 2013 ABN Ambro a Dutch bank effectively defaulted on their gold deposits and against the wishes of their gold depositors they paid them out in cash rather than gold. Bit Gold never has custody of your gold and bailment law ensures your gold is always on deposit for when you want it.
Last but still important is privacy. BitGold uses military grade encryption and every account is password protected. Sensitive information is not accessible and banking KYC rules are enforced. While hacking is always a concern, the CEO is Darrell MacMullin. Mr. MacMullin has driven successful new payment and commerce innovations for the past 15 years, including the launch and leadership of PayPal during its first eight years in Canada. As well, "Alex" Premoli is the Chief Technology Officer of BitGold. He is the architect of the BitGold proprietary platform, and leads the BitGold development team in Milan, Italy. Over the last decade, he has developed encrypted storage and messaging systems for highly sensitive, data-intensive organizations, gaining comprehensive experience in security, cryptography and digital signature solutions. Information on the board can be found here: BitGold Board
Where Does BitGold Fit?
So, where does BitGold fit in the investment scene? In short, they are a facilitator: They sell you gold at spot plus 1% which is a huge bargain compared to physical gold at a 3-4% spread. They store that gold for free in your name at secure Brinks vault in any of six locations in the world. They give you instant access to that gold through a physical redemption, debit card, wire transfer or bank transfer and they allow you to send transfer by e-mail or traditional methods. The record keeping is done for you and the security and auditing are amongst the best in the world. As our financial world changes, I suspect the value of gold will increase and the argument for Bit Gold will only get stronger as more users adopt it. Which becomes more likely every day as our financial system begins to teeter under the weight of increasingly unpayable debt. Where does in fit in? In your wallet next to your credit card.
I own gold because it is the only financial asset that is not simultaneously someone else's liability. It has intrinsic value and always will. Bitgold is a convenient and inexpensive way to own it. If you would like to get an account here is an affiliate link.
I know that some people do not share my regard for gold and if you are one, then I invite your comments and perhaps you can provide some insights that are unseen by myself. You may e-mail me or post in the comment section below. I am just getting started and any feedback is welcomed.

This was an Econolodge that must now have been privately owned. It was in great disrepair. It will give Econolodge a bad name if it keeps the sign up. A very poor motel. A bad experience that will make us think twice of booking an Econolodge in the future. Since the power was out they could not refund our payment on our Master Card and said they would do so when power was restored..didn't know when. Hopefully this will be done. What recourse do we have if they don't???? ...

Quick quotes – Wii U is "definitely more powerful than 360 and PS3," says 5th Cell
"[Wii U is] definitely more powerful than Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's kind of frustrating to see the rumours and speculation of people going back and forth saying it's weaker or more powerful. It's definitely more powerful. I think we were one of the first developers to see the Wii U." – 5th Cell CEO Jeremiah Slaczka in the latest issue of Game Informer, via D'toid.

I love to shop apparels with exquisite embroideries like zari & resham work. Since, I hold a diploma degree in fashion designing, I can easily judge the quality of work and fabric. Recently I ordered a suit with zari embroidery from this site & when I received the suit, I was flattened to see the neatness & perfection of the work. The quality of fabric also turned out to be extremely superior and satisfying. Thanks for a lovely shopping experience.

Once I liked a lehenga over the site which unfortunately went Out Of Stock. After having a word with the customer care department, I came to know about the 'Customize Your Look' feature. The designers created the same apparel for me with the moderations that I suggested them. I was extremely nervous about how the lehenga will turn out, but felt relieved when I saw the final result. Keep it up guys!!

Total Time
Prep 10 mins

- 8 ounces bacon, chopped
- 4 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
- 4 eggs, slightly beaten
- 5 tablespoons light cream
- salt (optional)
- pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, finely grated (divided)
- basil, for garnish (optional)
- Cook the noodles in a pan of boiling water, for 6-8 minutes or until al dente.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the bacon for 2-3 minutes, then add the mushrooms and fry for another 3-4 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and reserve.
- Lightly beat the eggs and cream together in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- When the noodles are cooked, drain well and return to the pan.
- Add the bacon/mushroom mixture and any pan juices and stir into the pasta.
- Pour in the egg/ cream mixture and half the Parmesan cheese.
- Stir well and as you do this the eggs will cook in the heat of the noodles.
- Pile on to warmed serving plates, sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and garnish with basil.
Most Helpful
Simple and yummy pasta carbonara. I did omit the mushrooms, since my daughter doesn't care for them. Instead, I added a bit more bacon! We really loved the flavor. Thank you!
This is a wonderful Pasta Carbonara. We enjoyed this for lunch over the weekend and my husband kept saying "this is really good" between every bite. I did omit the mushrooms (personal preference) and substituted frozen peas. Made for 1-2-3 Hit tag game.
Creamy rich yumminess. I added a leftover sausage link, diced red onion, minced garlic cloves. Made with 1 pound pasta.

The 2010 European Ryder Cup captain was one shot off the lead after an opening-round 69 during Local Final Qualifying at Gullane in Scotland before a round of 76, featuring four bogeys and a double bogey, saw him miss out by four strokes.
"I got to five under and threw it away - never mind," the 50-year-old Scot said. "It's not my schedule. I just played badly this afternoon. I didn't get going at all."
Montgomerie, who won a record eight order of merit titles on the European Tour between 1993 and 2005, has never won a Major despite several close calls with five runner-up spots among a total of 10 top-10 finishes.
There were three qualifying spots up for grabs at Gullane with amateurs Ben Stow and Matthew Fitzpatrick joining Sweden's Oscar Floren in securing their places at the July 18-21 major at Muirfield.
At the qualifying event at The Musselburgh, Steven Tiley dominated the field to win by three shots to book his berth along with Scot Lloyd Saltman and Tyrrell Hatton.
At Dunbar, amateur Grant Forrest shot 67 and 65 for an eight-under-par aggregate and was joined in The Open field by Indian Shiv Kapur and Australian John Wade, who finished a stroke behind.
In the event at North Berwick, amateur Jimmy Mullen, Gareth Wright and George Murray took the coveted qualifying places.

Jackie and Bill Balmes carried out the marriage registry (they've been married for 65 years).

I love the plugin, but I've noticed it has some pretty vague style selectors that get over written by the theme. I had to throw an ID in front of the span so they wouldn't take my theme's styles.
I just upgraded to 2.0 and now the bas sometimes doesn't show while viewing website frontend. And when it does, the admin bar
<li> items are at different vertical heights and the
<a> tags are taking on my site's anchor stylings.
I feel like the #wpadminbar styles should all be exclusive, or more specific, so they remain intact? Not sure if I should try to style over this or if it will be resolved in an update?

As a citizen of the GREAT STATE OF TENNESSEE, I'd like to say, and I know these things, that this list actually applies more to people from Alabama than it does to us.
And I should know, I lived in Alabama for 12 years just prior to moving here. You are WAY, way more likely to have to go from Heat to A/C in Lower Alabama than you are here in Tennessee. And a 100 degree day here, is hot. Not for me, but for those who were born here, you'd think the sun just set down in their front yards.
Still, it's a good list.

The effects of fire on scarlet gilia: an alternative selection pressure to herbivory?

The primary goals of this paper were to experimentally assess the relative importance of fire, a potentially important selective agent involved in shaping scarlet gilia's compensatory response and, in general, determine scarlet gilia's response to fire. Burn treatment results demonstrated that fire was not an important selective agent involved in shaping scarlet gilia's compensatory response. The most common response to fire was the production of one or more new clonally derived rosettes. This was an unexpected result; this typically monocarpic herb rarely produces clonal offspring. Although rosette production lessened the detrimental effects of fire by giving plants that cloned a second chance to flower, these newly formed rosettes delayed flowering for at least one year and had significantly higher overwinter mortality rates than rosettes from unburned control plots. In addition, significantly fewer individuals from the burn treatments flowered and there was significantly higher immediate mortality. There was, however, no detrimental effect on the reproductive success (seed production) of individuals that flowered following the burn. Overall, cumulative estimates of plant performance suggest that at the population level fire results in a 4.5-fold decrease in relative plant fitness. However, fire-induced seed germination could negate the detrimental effects of fire on the population dynamics of scarlet gilia. In the year of the burn there was a 116-fold increase in the number of germinating seeds and by the second year this translated into an approximate 6-fold difference in the number of surviving rosettes. Two alternative candidates, frost damage and ungulate trampling, can cause the removal of apical dominance and a response similar to that generated by ungulate and insect herbivores. However, they are probably minor factors favoring selection toward growth compensation; experimental and observational results deomonstrate that apical dominance was removed in only 3% of plants exposed to freezing temperatures and ungulate trampling caused breakage and release of apical dominance in only 0.2% of plants.

Condom vending machines to suit shy customers

The campaign was launched to promote condom sales in the run-up to the monsoon as it is believed that commercial sex sees a spurt during rainy season. The idea is to camouflage the process of buying a condom with other general commodities. "When we installed 3000 CVMs in Mumbai and Thane, we observed that people were still apprehensive about being noticed while operating the machine. So this is an attempt to camouflage the process of buying a condom by providing other things too," said Rajesh Nainakwal, partnership manager for HLFPPT, which is providing technical support to the Maharashtra State AID Control Society (MSACS) through its Maharashtra Condom Social Marketing Project (MCSMP) funded by the USAID.
"Earlier CVMs were small and installed at public toilets and railway stations. But many anti-social elements have tampered with these machines. The new machines are big. As they will dispense other consumable products too, we can put them in more visible places. The consumer can also buy condoms without being embarrassed that someone may notice him," said Shantaram Kuladkar, project director, MDACS.
NACO and its Mumbai district Aids Control Society (MDACS) are planning to launch 10 such machines across the city. "We are in talks with the airport officials to install one such machine at the airport. Prominent railway stations, call centres, resorts, hotels, corporate houses and hospitals should also have such machines," said Nainakwal.
Of the 3,000 CVMs installed six months ago, 400 have been stolen or vandalised by people for fun or their personal profit.
"As many as 105 machines of the 400 non-functional machines were stolen and the rest were vandalised. We have lodged FIRs against the miscreants," said Nainakwal.
"The new machine is big and we will employ a person to take care of it. This will help curb the thefts too," he said.

Your student days are supposed to be the best days of your life - packed with fun and laughter and stimulating late-night discussions about the meaning of life. But are they? For a significant number, student life is disappointing: seminars are dull, lecturers are uninspired, accommodation is scruffy and the social life is either too hectic or not hectic enough.
Two new pieces of research commissioned by the higher education funding council, to be presented at a seminar sponsored by The Independent, show that students are dropping out because they are not prepared for university life. They had expected the academic side to be a breeze and the social life to be electric but manageable. They were disappointed.
As one drop-out put it: "I just spoke to friends at university and basically it sounded a laugh ... I thought it would be one big party. I heard that you really didn't have to do any work until the last year - it was party time. To begin with it was a party - but when the work started to come I was still partying, so I got behind. In the end, I never really managed to catch up."
Such experiences are typical of drop-outs aged 18 to 21 who went to university straight from school, according to research by Jenny Ozga, professor of education policy at Keele University, and researcher Dr Laura Sukhnandan. Traditional students receive their advice from teachers, family, and glossy university prospectuses. Another drop-out said: "I did look at the prospectus - to a degree, it was adequate. But they can't show you the grotty kitchen that you've got to share with 28 people."
In other words, their sources are outdated and inaccurate, based on a higher education system that existed 20 years ago but has now grown to bursting-point and encompasses many different institutions - the former polytechnics, the institutes of higher education, campus universities, civics and former colleges of advanced technology.
Mature students are better prepared. They often have friends in higher education and know what they are getting into. The conventionally aged student who drops out has tended to drift into higher education, saying, as one drop-out did, "It's what everyone else did - school friends. It was going to be better than doing a job."
For some, the reality of university can be a shock. They had imagined they would be attending an institution one step up from school, with better facilities and a more inspiring intellectual environment. Their mouths drop open on day one. One ex-student told the researchers that she wept when she saw her room. "I don't come from a big house," she said. "But I couldn't believe I had to share a bathroom and kitchen with 30 other people. And the size of my room was unbelievable, and it just had painted breeze-blocks. I never thought about what it would be like when my parents left."
These young people may not have gone so far as to have a Brideshead Revisited notion of what university would be like, but they had been looking forward to it through rose-tinted spectacles. The academic side can also be a disappointment to 18-year-olds who have been used to close relationships with teachers at school, with lots of nurturing and academic support, and find they get little of that in higher education.
"The lecturers just stood at the front and told you what they thought and then told you to go away and study on your own," said one drop-out. "They didn't get to know you, and you were constantly having to do things by yourself. It wasn't like A-level."
Another explained: "The course wasn't structured enough; it wasn't interesting, and it wasn't like what I'd done for A-levels ... my sociology tutor was terrible; his seminars were awful; no one understood anything."
The Keele researchers interviewed student drop-outs during one year, 1994-95, at three kinds of university - a campus, a civic and a new university. Drop-outs from campus universities (those in the middle of nowhere) sometimes found it claustrophobic and isolating. And male students often found it hard to acknowledge that they were having difficulties until it was too late, and they had failed a course.
Mature students who dropped out, by contrast, tended to do so for reasons unconnected with the university or their studies. They were forced to give up because of family illness, or problems with marriage and children.
Students who didn't drop out - who soldiered on and stayed until the bitter end - were interviewed, too. Again the researchers found disillusionment with university life: that it was not the enriching experience students had imagined, but a matter of making do with substandard facilities and less-than-brilliant teaching.
Are more students dropping out of higher education than ever before? No one knows for sure, because the figures that exist are thought to be an underestimate. According to the funding council, 4 to 5 per cent of English undergraduates - 30,000 people - are throwing in the towel each year.
That figure, however, does not include students who drop out at the end of a year; it records only those quitting during the academic year. That is why Hefce is now undertaking further research, following students over a three-year period. That way it can see what happens from year to year, and the extent to which students are moving from a university that doesn't suit them to one which does. In a report to be presented at the seminar, it adds: "Our initial results indicate that the actual non-completion rate may be as high as double the 4 to 5 per cent per year reported by the research teams."
At next week's seminar John Thompson, an analyst with Hefce, will explain the latest research findings and Professor Mantz Yorke, of the centre for higher education development at Liverpool John Moores University, will talk about his research into drop-outs, carried out in six higher education institutions in north-west England. He found that 39 per cent of drop-outs cited financial problems, in addition to complaints about poor teaching and having chosen the wrong course.
Such a finding chimes with vice-chancellors' views that financial difficulties are hitting students hard. The introduction of student loans, the freezing of grants and the policy of stopping students from claiming benefits have intensified pressure. That may get worse when grants are phased out and the pounds 1,000 annual tuition fee is introduced. Professor Yorke's research also showed that students from working-class homes were particularly likely to mention money as a reason for dropping out, and were less likely to re-enter higher education later. That suggests that the Government will have to keep a close watch on the effects of its funding reforms, says Prof Yorke.
He has calculated that the annual cost to the public purse of drop-outs is as much as pounds 91m, based on an estimate of the core funding for places from Hefce, tuition fees paid to institutions, and grants.
All the researchers believe universities could do more to prevent students from dropping out, by paying more attention to teaching and learning, making students feel valued, and improving guidance and support.
"This is an issue for vice-chancellors," says Professor Ozga. "It's a question of providing an environment in which students can talk about their difficulties without being penalised, and being open about what students can expect."
The seminar, `Non Completion: Assessing the Problem and Seeking Solutions' is being sponsored by `The Independent' and organised by the Society for Research into Higher Education.
It will take place on 3 February, 10.30am to 4pm, at One Great George Street Conference Centre, 1-7 Great George Street, London SW1P 3AA. For information call 0171 637-2766.
Ashamed, embarassed, I felt a sense of failure
"I went to a small private school and was expected by the school and my parents to move on to university. I favoured a campus university because of the community atmosphere and because I liked the idea of studying a range of courses before deciding on two subjects for a dual degree. After the university's open day, I was completely sold on the idea.
I imagined that university life would be a huge social whirl. When I arrived, I thought the campus was great but I felt anonymous and excluded. I had been used to a much smaller social world where I knew everyone. I also found it hard to make friends. But I think that was my fault rather than anything to do with the university. I felt there was a brilliant life going on somewhere that I just didn't know about.
With hindsight, I'm not sure I understood what the course involved before I embarked on it. I quickly felt out of my depth, unable to cope with lots of different subjects. I had been expecting it to follow on from A-levels and to know what was expected of me. But I lacked confidence and thought I wasn't up to the work. I didn't feel able to talk to my tutors. I became convinced I wouldn't pass my exams .
When I went home for the Christmas break, I found my best friend was withdrawing from university so I thought, `Perhaps it's not just me, perhaps it's OK to leave if I can't cope'. I telephoned the university to tell them of my decision to leave and was offered the chance to discuss it, but turned them down and snuck off ashamed and embarrassed. I felt a sense of failure and didn't think I would ever go back into higher education.
For the rest of that year, I worked in various jobs but realised that work wasn't what I wanted. I geared up again to apply to higher education, the lesser of two evils. I got into a civic university to study a single honours degree. Although the social life wasn't any better, I think I got better academic support because of lower staff-student ratios."
Case study based on an interview with the Keele University researchers.

"I ordered these New Year cards for my photography business. I couldn't have asked for better quality and they arrived faster than I expected. Will definitely order again in the future."
"I made a last-minute decision to print some Christmas cards this year. It was our son's first Christmas and I wanted to show him off. I had a professional photographer take our photos so I wanted a card design thatt matched the quality of our images. Tiny prints totally came through. I had emailed customer service about a color error I saw upon uploading. They responded quickly to let me know that my order was fixed and there was nothing to worry about. I received the cards in a few days and was completely happy. I have received many compliments from our friends and family on the quality of the design and paper. I recommend this company to anyone."
"They turned out fantastic and I received them less than a week after I ordered them. Great product once again from TinyPrints!"
"Could not be happier with the result. The photo quality is first rate, the card stock is really great quality - unlike the flimsy photo paper type cards others companies use... Ordering/customizing was super easy and delivery was much quicker than anticipated."
"We ordered our holiday cards late but we found the perfect card to welcome the new year. Might start a new tradition with New Year cards!"

In the Netherlands, a Dutch design firm has been working with an infrastructure management group to design glow-in-the-dark roads that would make any party promoter proud.
The government of The Netherlands has announced plans to ban the wearing of veils that cover the face of the wearer that will take effect within the year, citing the need to see people's faces when greeting them on the streets. The French immediately scoffed at the announcement, as the law is just a French knock-off.
Eva Hoeke, editor of the Dutch magazine Jackie, issued an apology for calling Rihanna "the ultimate niggabitch" and then resigned her post. Now the magazine's publisher has issued another statement, claiming the magazine has nothing to apologize for.

Character modeling question
I know how to model now, since I learn it at school. But if I want to model something for JA, playermodels in this case, do I need to use a meshsmooth, or can I also model with the casual polymodeling and a couple of smoothing groups?
Because most tutorials for low poly character modeling use meshsmooths.
I don't care what anyone else says, game art and meshsmooth dont go together. The most important thing to focus on for a real time mesh is the silhouette. It means adding more definition to areas that need it, NOT everywhere.
That's my opinion, it doesnt mean i'm right, but if you end up using meshsmooth keep it to a reasonable polycount ;).
P.S.:Id like to see those tutorials that use meshsmooth for game art...it's commonly used for normal maps but not for the actual game mesh.
It's the tutorial for jeanne d'arc, I can bet you know that one.
But I don't think it's meant for gaming
Yeah i know it, i learned a lot from it hehe and no it's not for game art.
Ben Mathis has a great video character tutorial (and a bunch of others)
Highly recommended.
Thank you very much, these are very clear tutorials.

Wedding Trivia:HONEYMOONAfter "kidnapping" his bride, the groom would take her and go into hiding. By the time the bride's family tracked them down them, the bride would probably already be pregnant! A "bride price" would then be negotiated. An earlier source is the early Jewish custom of the bride and groom spending a week together alone immediately after the marriage feast. The earliest reference to this practice is Jacob's marriages to Leah and Rachel.

NC pollution lawsuit will cost TVA $1.8 billion
Published: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 7:53 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 at 7:55 a.m.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The cost of coal-fired energy is rising rapidly for the nation's largest public utility after losing a North Carolina air pollution lawsuit and suffering a massive coal ash spill in Tennessee.
The Tennessee Valley Authority said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday that a federal judge's accelerated deadline for reducing smokestack pollutants blowing into North Carolina would cost $1.8 billion or about $1 billion more than TVA planned to spend on such efforts through fiscal 2014.
The Knoxville-based utility also confirmed statements made by TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore to The Tennessean newspaper on Friday that the cleanup of 1.1 billion gallons of ash and sludge that flooded river inlets and homes near the Kingston Fossil Plant on Dec. 22 is "expected to be hundreds of millions of dollars."
TVA Chief Financial Officer Kim Greene, who wrote the SEC report, was not available Monday to say how the self-financing agency with a $25 billion debt expects to pay these bills. TVA spokesman Gil Francis said agency executives were busy preparing for a TVA board of directors' meeting Thursday, the first since the spill.
TVA Chairman Bill Sansom said last month that ratepayers, not taxpayers, will foot the bill for the ash spill. But TVA, which already has begun lowering a 20 percent electric rate hike approved last fall, may be considering options other than a rate increase.
The "hundreds of millions of dollars" figure on the Kingston cleanup is a preliminary estimate. "Actual costs ... may be substantially higher," TVA told the SEC.
TVA has yet to determine the cost of a corrective plan, the agency reported. It also hasn't calculated litigation costs, which "could be substantial," the report said. A half dozen lawsuits, most representing several people, have been filed.
TVA already is spending $1 million a day on the cleanup, officials say.
Meantime, TVA has asked for a clarification of the court order last month requiring TVA to reduce smog, haze and acid-rain emissions flowing into North Carolina from three Tennessee coal-fired power plants and one in Alabama.
TVA hasn't decided if it will appeal the ruling that resulted from the lawsuit brought by the state of North Carolina. "TVA is currently reviewing the decision and considering its alternatives," TVA wrote.
TVA provides electricity through 158 distributors to about 8.8 million consumers in Tennessee and parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Georgia, North Carolina and Virginia. It gets about 60 percent of its electricity from its 11 coal-fired plants in Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky.

Hamilton the Half white/half Black F1 driver wont deserve to be crowned world champion
Hamilton wont deserve to be the world champion, because he had a car with McLaren and Ferrari technology while Massa and Raikkonen had only their own teams hard worked technology in their cars.
Hamilton and Alonso had also benefited from the leaked Ferrari technology, not just the McLaren team.
Massa or Raikkonen should be crowned champions for what they have done with a weaker Ferrari car, but a Ferrari car none the less.
They did not win their races with a Ferrari/McLaren car.
It is unfair to Massa and Raikkonen and I will never see Hamilton or Alonso as the F1 champion of 2007.
P.S. Hamilton should not be classified as the first Black driver, but as the first coloured driver. Everyone must remember that he is also half white and his mother isn't getting any recognition for him just because his skin is darker than hers.This topic is deleted.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies

efing idiot
Wow Alistair, a thread that is racist AND naive!
As Murray Walker, Damon Hill, Lauda, Eddie Jordan etc etc have said: spying on the other teams is a fact of life and goes on ALL THE TIME.
And the team that is most involved in that? Ferrari! The difference being that when another team is seen to be developing an aero-pack etc that is very good, Ferrari poach the person in charge and employ him so that he brings the techniques with him. It's a fact of life in the racing world you absolute spoon!
And Lewis isn't black? okaaay... personally I don't think it matters and I'm pretty sure if you asked him he'd say he's... English :)
Since when is WHITE not a colour? Stop making racist comments and stick to RACING comments.
Pants Pants Pants ! ! ! ! !
You know nothing of this situation and just want to point a finger. Blame them they must have cheated. In all truth the ferrari car just isn't up to it. McLaren said they have not cheated - accept it. FIA will scrutinise their car seriously from now on and they will still win cos Ferraris are naff cheap plastic toys. Come on McLaren show 'em how to do it !
why does it matter if he if half anything, are you so sure that past winners are not half of anything (maybe half Irish/half scottish or half Spanish/ half Italian)... Hamilton is the best Rookie driver F1 have seen, only time will tell if he will become a Great driver ala Senna, Prost, Piquet or Hakkinen.. color does not matter... Senna. Prost, Piquet, Hakkinen and Shumi all had different shades of white..

and maybe some people want to use minority/colour as advantages too ...right?? lewis is good but not that good,,,,
How dare you pick on this guys colour or the colour of his mother and by the way he is not coloured he is the same colour all over. He is a driver who has no contact (proven ) with the ferrari team so therefore was not knowingly driving anything other than a maclaren car. His driving ability the recognition he has brought to F1 has in itself made him worthy of winning the title and I will back this guy all the way he is another history maker. Go for it Lewis

for me, it is not about the colour instead is he really that talented??i do not think so...maclaren is a great/big team...that is why he looks so good....lewis is a selfish driver for sure...all this time he's been driving agressively and only until this last GP start to complaining about alonso...only because he lose...
Well said. I posted yesterday on the subject, saying colour has nothing to do with it.
Trouble is there are people on this forum who just have to insult people all the time. This forum used to be a place where people have a discussion on different subjects, unfortunately there are some who think that only their opinion counts.
I'd like to see some changes here, get rid of the idiots, and get back to civilised discussion again.
Race isn't an issue. Is it?
Did FIA actually have proof that any actual parts of the McLaren car is the same as the Ferrari car? If not then McLaren should not be penalised. Technical info is always flying around betwen the pits but does anyone actual copy another car parts exactly the same? Just admit it Ferrari got a #$%$ car this year and are desperate to win at all cost.

Arman_a quote from another topic "Stepny, Coughlin, De La Rosa and Alonso should be all fined USD25million each for having knowledge and USING STOLEN MATERIAL"
You seem a bit confused in your judgements Arman_a.
Why should Mclaren be deemed as "inocents" while at the same time you admit that Coughlin, De La Rosa and Alonso had knowledge and USED STOLEN MATERIAL ?
Just incase you didnt know(and i`m seriously starting to think that you dont have a clue who they are from what you wrote on the other topic): Coughlin = McLaren's chief engineer, De La Rosa = Mclaren`s test driver and Fernando Alonso = Mclaren`s race driver.
Then again, I doubt that the woman that does dishwashing on Mclaren`s kitchen had any knowledge that the stolen material was baing used, but does that mean Mclaren are not guilty?
Arman_a quote "Did FIA actually have proof that any actual parts of the McLaren car is the same as the Ferrari car? If not then McLaren should not be penalised"
Seriously, this sentence really made me lough out loud :)
Second to your logic here, the only way Mclaren would have cheated and deserved a punishment was if... Mclaren had used a stolen Ferrari race car(not just designs and other important data) had painted over the Red with SILVER, stick a Vodaphone banner on and Alonso had raced with it.
you are talking aload of #$%$ and you are also dreaming if you think ferrari dont cheat pick any year and they have ie pushing car off letting team mates go by on the finnihs line
pit stops you name it they done it. but of course its not cheating its ferrari
What black person is NOT part white? If we were not part white somewhere down our history we'd be called African. That's reality.
Given that his Dad was most instrumental in his racing and still is, that is why he is featured. They have shown his Mom albeit a little.
I take it you are not a racer, athlete, or competitor? Cause if you were you would know that a competitor knows a #$%$ load about his opposition. Some of it rumor, some fact. How else do you get better. Ever heard the saying, "If your not cheating your not racing"? ....Hmm wonder where that came from.....
What surprises me is that everyone acts like this is new!
Get real!!!
BTW: Keep your racist bias to yourself and out of racing and it's awesome folks like you finally have to deal with this new half Black/ half White phenom.!! A new day is here!!!

Dear David,
Sorry to break your heart, but it's quite the other way around: every white person has black in them somewhere down their blood line.... Africa is known to be "the cradle of civilization", as THAT'S where the oldest human-like remains have been found. Europe and other parts of the world were COMPLETELY LIFE-BARREN at that time...
It is also basic 3rd grade history evidence that human-like creatures started to migrate from Africa towards other parts of the world. The colder the regions to which they went, including northern Europe, the whiter they became.
To the rest of the F1 fans who have posted on here, sorry for this paranthesis and diversion from the topic, but this topic is just as important and needed to be clarified. I am as white as paper, by the way, but that cannot prevent me from admitting the facts as they happened.

((Archon, you weren't available tonight, so I've taken the liberty of giving Celeb a few lines, just to keep him prominent. If you'd rather I didn't, let me know and I'll edit them out accordingly.))
Tawnos felt a surge of intensely dark emotion grow in his stomach, sending a shiver down his spine. His mind flew inexplicably to Osay, and he somehow knew that he was going to have regretted not staying behind to help her. He lay Lite on the couch, and forced his still absent sister into the chair by the window.
He turned to Celeb, who he expected would be the only one of the six of them apart from himself who would come out of this outing relatively unscathed. "How're you doing?" he asked.
Celeb considered for a moment, again taken aback at being addressed directly. "Uhm... I'm alright," he said, looking around at the others in their group. "Kind of wish we could have been there for the attack - maybe taken some of the heat off those two," he jerked his thumb towards Gherion and Ashalle, who were positioned at the window.
Tawnos cursed again. "Me too," he said. "I should have been with them, at least - she's my sister. We may not be the closest siblings in the Galaxy, but it's still my job to watch out fo--"
Another shiver ran through his spine, this one colder than the first. He spun around, blaster at the ready, as the door to the apartment opened. After a second's hesitation, he noticed that it was Osay. And she was hurt.
All caution and pre-tense forgotten, he dropped his blaster on the floor and rushed forward. She collapsed into his waiting arms, gasping for breath. He threw inhibition to the winds, picking her up off her feet altogether and literally carrying her to the other side of the room, placing her gently on the empty bed. She continued to gasp for breath.
"Celeb, find me something to use as a bandage - and a few towels or something too, so I can try to mop her up a bit."
He bent over her as Celeb dashed around the room. "It's ok," he said quietly, using his hand to wipe the blood off of her face. He looked her up and down, taking in her wounds and injuries.
"How is she?" asked Celeb, handing Tawnos a number of cloth towels and a bottle of a disinfectant agent. He doused one of the towels in the liquid. "I think it's more exhaustion than anything... she's got a few scrapes, but the worst of it is definitely her arm. It looks pretty deep..." he said quietly. "I have a basic knowledge of human anatomy and emergency first aid, but nothing to deal with a wound like this. There's only so much I can do..." He bent over her again. "I need to clean your wound," he said, trying to sound soothing. "This is going to sting, but there's nothing I can do about that."
Gherion walked over to the group tending to Osay and withdrew a small spray capsule filled with a bright green liquid. He still looked ready to collapse himself, but he was standing, and moving with enough confidence that he wasn't too much worry. "Use this on the wound. It's some allergy medicine I take, numbs whatever it comes into contact with to alleviate any pain caused during a reaction."
