Dell can provide enhanced, and in some cases instantaneous, customer support by empowering their customers with the ability to receive instant support for a request for which they've associated a "DellSupport" tag with, depending on which social network the customer has used.
The higher the frequency with which responses to certain keywords, associated with the DellSupport tag, appear, regardless of social network, the greater the likelihood a solution already exists for customers seeking solutions pertaining to those respective keywords.
Thus, such high-frequency responses can be instantaneously provided as suggested resolutions for customers seeking support for their issues.
As a consequence, a FAQ solution will be developed organically, with algorithms providing for the creation, and self-sustaining nature, of the solution, with the help of infrastructure provided by social networks.
Additional algorithms will assist with the presentation and ranking of customer issues and solutions as they arise and evolve over time.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Thanks for the request for clarification. This ultimately depends on the social media network in question. Some networks have good APIs which provide these services "out of the box", while others require the development of a system to find and filter the postings carrying specific tags. And yes, in such cases, the system would also need to be able to auto-respond with a link to an "anchor" pointing to a section of the organically-generated FAQ, based on the issue. Algorithms would need to be developed to render these services, including the ability to provide 'hints' to customers educating them as to which tag to use for the system to work. Hope this helps. Thank you for your time and consideration.Oct 16, 2012 Comment Link
Thanks you for posting your idea. I am looking for clarification to make sure I understand the idea. First a system would need to be created to find and filter the postings on social media posted with a specific tag. The system would also need to be able to automatically respond with a link to a specially created FAQ based on the issue. Customers would also need to be educated on what tag to use in order for the system to work. Did I get that right?

Thomas Cook sheds 2,500 UK posts - jobs threat for branches in Newport, Cwmbran, Ebbw Vale, Monmouth and Caerphilly
4:46pm Wednesday 6th March 2013 in News By Katey Pigden, Reporter
THE jobs of Thomas Cook employees in Gwent stores could be under threat as the company has announced to cut 2,500 jobs in the UK.
The travel group has said it will close almost 200 stores and axe 2,500 jobs in an attempt to revive its profitability, but has not yet revealed which stores will be closing.
There are nine branches of Thomas Cook in Gwent including in Newport, Cwmbran, Ebbw Vale, Monmouth and Caerphilly.
A spokesperson for Thomas Cook said most of the job losses will come from its "back-office functions and its retail network."
The company said it would now start a 90-day consultation process with its employees as part of the next phase of its three-year programme to transform business operations.
For the last financial year to September, the firm reported pre-tax losses of £485.3 million.
Thomas Cook blamed the loss on a "difficult trading environment" and higher fuel costs, and it has already closed 149 stores.
Peter Fankhauser, Thomas Cook's CEO, said: "It is never easy to make decisions that impact directly on our people, but we also owe it to our customers to shape the business effectively and ensure that, when they book their holiday with us, our administrative costs are as low as possible.
"As we improve and develop our online capabilities, maintaining a strong presence on the high street is an important part of our strategy. Even after these changes we will still have one of the largest retail networks in UK travel."
Thomas Cook currently has 1,069 stores open and plans to close 195 high street stores, cutting about 16 per cent of its workforce, focusing on posts at its head offices in Peterborough and Preston and the complete closure of its Accrington office.
It employs 15,500 people in the UK currently.
Shopworkers' Union Usdaw said it is going to meet with the holiday firm to discuss the restructure.
National Officer Sharon Ainsworth said: "We were well aware of the challenges that Thomas Cook have been facing in turning their UK business around, but the scale and severity of these redundancies will come as a real shock to our members.
"We will be using the 90-day consultation period to urge the business to look at every possible alternative to redundancy for these hardworking staff."

Even with a little age on it, Morels is still ripe for cheese-lovers
April 19th, 2012
When Sal Casola and Chipper Pastron opened the first Morels in the Grove, a nouveau-swank Los Angeles mall and cinema complex, what everyone talked about was the cheese program, arguably the best that anyone had seen in L.A. Morels Las Vegas, which opened in 2008 in the Palazzo, treads a similar path. Read more »

Slipping into spring's al fresco dining is easy when Mediterranean is on the menu
April 12th, 2012
Khoury's Mediterranean Restaurant may be our foremost Lebanese restaurant, though it insists it be called Mediterranean. That's fair enough.

By the ounce or by the glass, Enomatic systems open up a world of wine possibilities
March 22nd, 2012
"Enomatic" is a term similar to Kleenex or Jell-O, because even though a French company of that name first developed these wine-dispensing and preservation systems, competing companies such as Napa Technologies are now producing them, yet anything falling into the category is called an enomatic. Several dining spots around town take advantage of a proprietary technology that allows wines to remain fresh in the bottle, while being visible behind a glass window in a stainless-steel dispenser.

Nearly a decade later, the high-end, high-up kitchens at Ducasse's Mix are running better than ever
March 15th, 2012
Walking into Mix is like walking into a fizzy champagne bottle. The drama begins when you take one of five private elevators to the top floor at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay, and follow the backlit, steel tunnel into the dining room. The restaurant was reputed to have cost around $15 million when it opened in 2003. The champagne effect is from the strands of carefully strung Murano glass bubbles that extend from floor to ceiling, one of designer Patrick Jouin's many innovations. Read more »

Suddenly, there is a cluster of dim sum restaurants on Flamingo Road, just west of the Strip.

Former Mayor Oscar Goodman's steak house doesn't quite 'meat' expectations
March 1st, 2012
I recently wrote a short history of the Las Vegas steak house for the April issue of Saveur magazine in which I included a quote from former Mayor Oscar Goodman, whose moniker is on a new steak house under the dome at downtown's revamped Plaza Hotel & Casino. "No one cares where the meat comes from," he told me. "They want a big martini, a few broads and a nice evening." Mr. Goodman: That thinking is behind the times, even for the downtown crowd.

The Lee's Liquor family adds a must-see Korean joint to their legacy
February 23rd, 2012
The mall is anchored by Greenland Market—which has a terrific food court—and Woonam Jung, a spiffy new casual Korean restaurant with a contemporary look rather than traditional. Initially, the Lee family leased the restaurant space to a tenant. But he bugged out in 2010 and left the family, quite by accident, in the restaurant business. Read more »

Why is this important?
Unsafe or poor quality food bought in shops
The law says food you buy must be safe and of satisfactory quality. If food is unsafe or poor quality it may be mouldy, gone off, out of date or contaminated.
This page tells you what you can do if there's something wrong with food you bought from a shop, market or street vendor.
For problems with food you bought in a restaurant see Problems with restaurants.
Top tips
Keep the food as evidence
If you have a complaint about poor quality or unsafe food you should keep the food item if possible as evidence. You could keep it in a sealed freezer bag. The shop or manufacturer is unlikely to give you a refund or replacement without it. You should also keep your receipt if possible as proof of purchase.
Take it back to the shop
If you've bought food that is unsafe or poor quality, you can take it back to the shop where you bought it. You should do this as soon as possible and take your receipt. Ask for a refund or replacement. If you have already eaten the food, you won't be able to get a refund or replacement.
Send it to the manufacturer
Returning food or a sample of the food, to the manufacturer may be the best option. Where a complaint is justified, a food manufacturer may well provide compensation in order to maintain their reputation.
Even if the food was not harmful, a manufacturer will usually provide a refund plus postage, and will often provide more.
Report it to Environmental Health
If the shop has sold unsafe or harmful food, they may have committed a criminal offence. You could report them to your local environmental health department, who may investigate. You should keep all the food, including foreign bodies and any packaging, in case you need it for evidence.
- To find your local environmental health department, see www.food.gov.uk.
Trade associations
If the response of the trader or manufacturer is unsatisfactory, you may be able to report the matter to a relevant trade association if the trader or manufacturer is a member.
If you get food poisoning
If the food has given you food poisoning you may be entitled to compensation from the trader or food manufacturer as well as a refund. You should get a letter from the doctor as evidence confirming your illness as a result of bad food. If you still have some of the food product, you could keep it as evidence as well. Before you make your complaint, make sure you followed the food cooking instructions fully.
If you want to claim compensation, you should get legal advice.
You should also report the issue to your local environmental health department.
- To find your local environmental health department, see www.food.gov.uk.
How do you know if food is unsafe or poor quality?
Food is unsafe for consumption if:
- it is harmful to health. For example, it hasn't been treated or cooked properly or it contains harmful ingredients
- it is unfit for consumption. For example, it is mouldy or decomposed
- it is contaminated to the extent that it is unreasonable to expect it to be consumed. This would include residues above permitted levels of chemicals, pesticides and additives to animal feed.
Food is of poor quality if:
- it is not of the quality or nature that you have a right to expect of it. For example, rump steak sold as fillet steak
- it does not meet standards set down in composition regulations.
Food is out of date
Most foods must carry a best before date or a use by date. These dates give you an indication of how long the food will last if stored correctly. Some foods do not have to have date marks. These include whole fresh fruit and vegetables, wines, alcoholic drinks with a strength of 10% or more, bread products intended to be eaten within 24 hours, or vinegar.
Best before dates
The best before date indicates when food is at its best. Once this date has passed, the food may be in a less good condition. For example, crisps may have gone slightly stale. Food past its best before date is still safe to eat. Shops can sell food past its best before date.
Use by date
Use by date marks are mostly used for foods that don't last long, such as eggs, milk, bread, meat or fish. If you eat food that has passed its use by date you could be at risk of food poisoning. Shops are not allowed to sell food that has passed its use buy date.
Making a complaint
If you bought food by mistake that was passed its use by date, take the food back to the shop with your receipt. The law says you can ask for a refund or replacement.
If a shop has sold food past its use by date they may have committed an offence.
You could report it to trading standards.

Contact: email@example.com
Project Miasma is currently looking for capable individuals who have previous experience working with the Half Life 2 Source Engine. A development team has already been assembled, but the project is looking to expand even more. The game itself has already been in production for almost a month. We currently use Ventrilo to communicate and discuss the production of the game amongst other things. Below is a list of jobs that are open.
Sound Engineer
Concept Artist
All applicants should understand that they are coming into a pre established work environment. Yes, there will be inside jokes. No, there are no new guys at the moment. Yes, some of us use puns. Yes, if you were to come on board now then you would be the new guy. Yes, we give the new guy a hard time.
If you believe you are a capable individual who has previous experience working with the Half Life 2 Source Engine and you are interested in working on this project then contact us at the e-mail address up top. Applicants should include in their e-mail a summary of their experience, why they want to work on the project, any questions they might have, and some samples of their past work if possible. Below is a brief synopsis of the game and the storyline.
Miasma takes place in a post-apocalyptic world in the aftermath of a meteor impact. Years ago a giant meteor hit Earth. The impact was catastrophic and caused widespread destruction. Billions of people were killed. Now, five years later, the world is engulfed by a poisonous cloud called miasma. Almost every living thing that is exposed to miasma is killed. Those that survive are changed. They become the Rayth. Humanity has since recovered from the cataclysm, but the Rayth have been growing bolder. Assaults on barrier cities have taken place and have been growing increasingly more frequent. Fear of what will come has gripped the population. Humanity now stands at the brink of extinction. The Rayth are rallying together. Their numbers grow with each passing day. Their cries can be heard echoing through the mist. The fate of humanity is at hand. The fight for survival has begun.
Players can choose to play as the heroic soldiers who fight to save humanity or as the dreaded Rayth who seek to destroy it.
The game itself is a multiplayer first person shooter of the action and horror genre. Game play will be a combination of suspense and fast paced action. Miasma will consist of objective based multiplayer game play. Players will have to work together to stay alive and complete their goals in order to achieve victory. To help achieve their goals players will have a vast array of weaponry at their disposal including high caliber revolvers, composite assault rifles, high powered pulse rifles, and high grade explosives. The game also features super cool vehicles. While on the Rayth side players can also utilize unreal beast abilities such as being able to run on walls, jump super high, and regenerate from mortal wounds.
Project Miasma - Help Wanted!

Happy Holidays Poinsettia
The design of this card was inspired by a pillow I saw on Pinterest. I started by randomly cutting a 2 1/4 inch wide white satin ribbon into diamond shapes to make the poinsettia flower. Next I used my heat gun to melt the edges of the ribbon to prevent fraying. It also gives it a nice wave to the ribbon petals. I used Helmar's Premium Craft Glue to adhere them to the embossed kraft paper. The mini jingle bells were stitched into place. Next, that layer was glued onto red cardstock then onto the kraft card base. The Happy Holidays sentiment came from Close To My Heart. The frame stamp and punch came from Stampin' Up!
Isn't it simply a lovely holiday pillow! Here's the link to the original post and pillow tutorial.
I shared my card with Scrapscene, Heart 2 Heart, My Craft Spot, Ooh-La--La Creations, Totally Stampalicious, Make It Monday and Totally Gorjuss.
12 comments:
The card is absolutely beautiful! I love the satin ribbon flower on the card and i must praise you for the great job you did on the throw pillow. The satin ribbon flower looks gorgeous.

Blog Entry
now that brainshare is over and has been a huge success, the designer team is back finding out whatelse you, elvis ah... our customer, the king, may need most in the near future.
whereas the main goal for designer 1.0 and 1.1 was to enable you to do all the configuration tasks you had been doing in imanager until then, our focus has now changed a little. i'd like to share with you some of our thoughts and methodology how we discover new features that we need to integrate into designer.
when a company decides to investigate an identity management solution, it usually starts a long and sometimes hairy process. roughly, this process is defining the business case, developing the solution, then implementing/deploying and finally maintaining and monitoring the solution.
in the past novell covered exactly the development part of this process. we think that designer can do more than just configuration and development. we want to support the whole process:
as you can see, we cover already quite a bit of the whole process, but we know we can do even more. we want to accompany you from the first day in your project until the last day of that project and even beyond into the maintenance phase.
let us know what you think of this approach. do we meet your expectations this way?

Moran was elected to Congress in 1996 and reelected five times, never facing serious opposition in the conservative 1st district. In 2006, his opponent for the 2006 midterm election was John Doll, against whom he received almost 79 percent of the vote—one of the highest totals for a Republican congressional incumbent in that election.[7]
Tenure [edit]
During his time in the House of Representatives, Jerry Moran conducted an annual town hall meeting in each of the 69 counties in Kansas' "Big First" Congressional District. He continues the tradition in the U.S. Senate for all 105 counties.[8]
As a senior member of the House Agriculture Committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, then-Congressman Moran worked with colleagues to craft legislation to aid Kansas farms and ranches. Moran was also an active member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, where he served as chairman of the Subcommittee on Health.[9]
From 2003 through 2005, $14.7 billion in crop subsidies went to the congressional districts of members on the House Committee on Agriculture, an analysis by the non-partisan Environmental Working Group found. That was 42.4% of the total subsidies. Moran's district is reported to have received $1.32 billion.[10]
U.S. Senate [edit]
Elections [edit]
Moran was the 2010 Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Kansas. He defeated fellow Congressman Todd Tiahrt in the Senate primary, 50-45%.[11] In the general election Moran faced Democrat Lisa Johnston, Libertarian Michael Dann, and Reform Party candidate Joe Bellis. Moran won with just over 70 percent of the vote.
Committee assignments [edit]
- United States Senate Special Committee on Aging
- United States Senate Committee on Appropriations
- Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies
- Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies
- Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government (Ranking member)
- Subcommittee on Homeland Security
- Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies
- Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies
- United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs
- United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
- United States Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship
- United States Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs
Political positions [edit]
Moran's voting record is largely conservative. He has a lifetime rating of 92 from the American Conservative Union. However, has a considerable independent streak. The Southwest Daily Times once quoted him as saying, "I will always put Kansans ahead of the pressures in Washington"—a quote he posted on his House Web site.[12]
Agriculture [edit]
Moran and Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, recently introduced legislation, S. 989, the Flint Hills Preservation Act, to protect the ability of landowners in the Flint Hills to use prescribed fire as a tool to preserve the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. Moran also joined U.S. Senator David Vitter (R-La.) in introducing the 3-D Act: The Domestic Jobs, Domestic Energy, and Deficit Reduction Act of 2011.
Health Care [edit]
Moran opposed the Medicare reform package of 2003, unlike most congressmen from rural districts. He also opposed President Obama's health care reform bill in 2010. In May 2011, Moran sponsored S. 1058, the Pharmacy Competition and Consumer Choice Act of 2011, legislation intended to increase choice and cost savings for patients in Kansas and across the country. He believes reducing the costs of medical services, equipment, insurance, and prescription drugs are necessary to ensure adequate health care.[13] In the House, he served as Co-Chairman of the House Rural Health Care Coalition and co-founder of the Congressional Community Pharmacy Coalition.[14]
National Security and Military [edit]
Senator Moran believes that a strong national defense is the federal government's primary Constitutional responsibility. Kansas is home to Fort Leavenworth, Fort Riley, McConnell Air Force Base and the 35th Infantry Division.
In the early 2000s, Moran opposed a timetable for military withdrawal from Iraq. Later, he opposed President Bush's troop surge in Iraq.
Since entering Congress, Moran has traveled to Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan to visit deployed American forces and meet with foreign leaders.[15] His most recent trip to the region was in the spring of 2011 to Kabul, Afghanistan.[16]
Moran worked to bring the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) to Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. Once constructed, NBAF will conduct animal disease research intended to secure America's food supply and protect citizens and animals from the threat of foreign animal disease.
Education [edit]
Moran supports accountability metrics for public schools, but believes federal initiatives need to provide flexibility to states. In 2001, Moran voted against passage of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) because he felt it did not afford sufficient flexibility to schools.[17]
Gun Control [edit]
Moran rejects background restrictions on most gun purchases, including semi-automatic rifles. In April 2013 he also voted against banning high-capacity magazines, banning most semi-automatic rifles, and outlawing loopholes in which a person purchases a gun for a criminal or terrorist. The National Rifle Association, a lobbying organization for gun manufacturers, rated his voting record "A" in its scorecard.
Environment [edit]
Moran has opposed environmental protection, earning a lifetime score of 9% from the League of Conservation Voters.[18] He also opposes "cap and trade" legislation intended to reduce climate change because of its potential to eliminate thousands of jobs.[19]
Internet Freedom [edit]
Moran often sides with the Democrats in expressing opposition to Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and PROTECT IP Act (PIPA), noting the bills' potential to stifle innovation in the tech sector.[20]
Abortion [edit]
Moran is pro-life. The Family Research Council rated his voting record 100% in its scorecard.
Gay rights [edit]
Moran opposes same-sex marriage. The Human Rights Campaign rated his voting record as zero in its last five scorecards.[21][22][23][24][25]
Personal life [edit]
At home in Hays, Moran volunteers his time with several community organizations. He is a trustee of the Eisenhower Foundation, serves on the Board of Trustees of the Fort Hays State University Endowment Association, and serves on the Executive Committee of the Coronado Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. He was also the 2008 Honorary Chair of the Law Enforcement Torch Run of the Kansas Special Olympics. Moran has two daughters, Kelsey and Alex. Kelsey graduated from Kansas State University in 2010 and Alex is currently a student.[26]

United States
'Festival' doesn't even come close to describing it. Like all big experiences, you can't pin it down in words, you have to be there. In short, around 50,000 people from all over the world come together in the harsh Nevada desert to create a temporary city, known as Black Rock City, for week. There, they collectively and spontaneously create some of the most wild and colourful experiences you'll encounter. And when they leave, there'll be no sign they were ever there.
This is Burning Man, which describes itself as "an annual art event and temporary community based on radical self expression and self-reliance". And radical it is! It's also crazy, beautiful, safe, generous and buzzing with life, love and laughter. It'll stretch you, for sure. But you'll rise to it and surprise yourself. Trust me. You'll experience (perhaps for the first time) the complete freedom to be and express yourself in whatever ways you feel like, whether that's a squeak or a roar.
Given that freedom, and all the characters and creativity you'll find at Burning Man, there could easily be a hundred life-changing possibilities a day. Dress up like Priscilla Queen of the Desert, or rip off all your clothes and paint yourself blue. Ride around under the stars on a giant neon spider. Climb up an intricately carved wooden temple and scrawl your deepest secrets on the walls, then watch the temple catch fire a few days later, taking your secrets with it forever. Jump on a pimped up bicycle and follow a troupe of fire dancers around, then ask them for a twirl. Or simply pluck up the courage to wander into a complete stranger's camp and be welcomed with open arms for coffee and conversation. Then if you get tired, just take a seat on a huge red velvet sofa that just happens to be rolling past on wheels...
But for me, the most profoundly life-changing aspect of all was to discover what happens when you give people, en masse, pure unadulterated freedom. Far from anarchy or debauchery, what you actually get is something almost akin to an earthly paradise. Amazing!
There's no crime, abuse, hassle or even any litter. Not a single cigarette butt or beer can is dropped during the event or left behind after it (following the philosophy of 'leave no trace'). No money changes hands during the week, everything is freely given and received between friends and strangers. Nobody will push you into anything, leave you out of anything, look at you disapprovingly or give you cause to feel uncomfortable in any way. In fact I'm not sure I even saw anyone in a slightly bad mood, ever!
Somehow, in the absence of society's usual rules and boundaries, what rises from the hot desert sands (apart from dust, which does get everywhere) is a quite beautiful marriage of liberation and personal responsibility, individuality and community, an outpouring of creative inspiration, expression, mutual support, pure joy and fun. And when you find yourself a part of that, something very, very unusual happens. You feel proud to be a member of the human race, which is a life-changing experience indeed! And you start to think hey, maybe we humans aren't so bad after all, perhaps there's hope for us yet. If we can do it in Black Rock City, why not the world? But even if we're not quite ready to pull it off wholesale just yet, at least we still have Burning Man. Try it!

Hollywood Films vs. Internet Subtitles
Internet slang, or as particularly retarded people enjoy referring to it, "l33tspeak," is one of quickest and easiest way to communicate on the Internet. Although it does have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a raging moron, hey, you can type the shit out really fast! Although this type of communication originally began on IRC networks across the world, many people have recently noticed it creeping into daily conversations and written reports. Who needs the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse when you've got people willingly saying things such as "ASL?" With this thought in mind, the SA Forum Goons decided to "translate" popular movie scenes into this hip and exciting new Internet slang that's taking the world by storm. Why? I'm not sure; I assume they were particularly bored. Oops, I mean: y? i guess tehy wuz b0red, d00d. ASL?
Torsoboy started the thread off.

Cornell plans to add between one and three international universities as partners to its recently approved New York City tech campus over the next five years, Provost Kent Fuchs said in an interview Friday.
Fuchs said the University hopes to attract at least one university from Europe and as many as two from Asia to bolster the international prestige of the new NYC "global institute," which already includes the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
"It's a whole new model," Fuchs said, adding that the campus will make Cornell the first American university to build a school in the United States with international schools. "We think about going elsewhere — there are many [American] universities that have campuses and partnerships overseas — but not about bringing [international universities] here to the U.S."
No institutions have been contacted yet, but Cornell aims to find additional universities that are "complementary to the two that are already in this institute," Fuchs said, adding that the University will start the search in the next six months.
Doing so, according to Fuchs, is not intended as a means of reducing the University's financial burden for the $2 billion tech campus. Instead, Fuchs said that partnering with international universities is largely intended to help burnish the prestige of the new applied science school and elevate the world standing of Cornell.
"If we have more partners in this innovation institute, it raises the reputation, the ranking, the visibility, the prestige of Cornell in the home countries of those universities, just as it would raise their own prestige," Fuchs said. "If we had a university from Asia, they're going to have visibility — that's why they'd be eager to do it."
On Dec. 19, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that Cornell won the right to build a new engineering and technology campus in the city, topping a field of 17 institutions that entered the competition.
The University's proposed campus, to be built on Roosevelt Island, includes more than two million square feet of space and will house almost 2,000 graduate students and about 250 professors. The project is expected to take 30 years to complete and cost as much as $2 billion.
Although Cornell had not discussed adding international partners during the heated competition for the campus or at a public forum held Friday, Fuchs said the University and the Technion had always planned on doing so. He cited not wanting to "be flooded with other applications" as a reason for delaying the public search for the new partners.
"If I remember correctly, in the agreement with the Technion we talk about creating a global innovation institute and inviting other members," Fuchs said. "When anyone asks us about this, we certainly tell them."
Fuchs added that, although the international universities are not likely to shoulder the financial obligations of constructing the new campus, they will "certainly bring resources indirectly."
The international universities will "bring people, bring ideas and bring opportunities to teach courses," Fuchs said. "It might be that the additional partners would help pay for physical structure … [but that] would not be our primary purpose; our primary purpose would be to add new opportunities and add prestige."
Fuchs said that the international universities' role in the tech campus aligns with President Skorton's vision for the "internationalization" of Cornell.
Foreign countries will be more likely to send more top-ranked students to the University, Fuchs said, because Cornell's name "will be all over their press."

About Marlene Rolfe
Many of Marlene Rolfe's paintings refer to her family history, in particular her mother's Berlin-Jewish heritage. She spent three years in a concentration camp before emigrating to Britain. Rolfe writes: "How can I deal visually with questions of the small action against the massive sweep of events; of personal, private histories and continuities, of female as opposed to male courage. Of women's work and women's language ...? There is an alternative approach to the public, heroic struggle with past and present of some male artists."
Marlene Rolfe read English at New Hall from 1965 to 1968. She lives and works in London.Family

Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics dont learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying yes begins things. Saying yes is how things grow. Saying yes leads to knowledge. Yes is for young people.

text: 000 FXUS63 KLMK 170546 AFDLMK AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LOUISVILLE KY 145 AM EDT FRI MAY 17 2013 .Forecast Update... Issued at 145 AM EDT Fri May 17 2013 Updated the forecast to remove thunderstorms until after sunrise. Upstream obs just show rain showers moving northeast out of western TN. Judging by what happened yesterday morning along with model precip fields and soundings, t-storms will probably hold off until 14-15Z. Areas of fog still look like a good bet over portions of southern IN/northern KY where it rained yesterday. Fog may become locally dense in river valleys and typical fog prone locations. Frankfort has reported 1/4 mile vsbys this morning. && .Short Term (Now - Friday Night)... Issued at 312 PM EDT Thu May 16 2013 Convection continues to rumble across portions of the forecast area this afternoon. The western batch across our west-central southern Indiana counties continues to rain itself out. Some renewed convection is trying to develop across southern IL and eastern MO. Overall, the atmosphere is fairly worked over here, so we`re not expecting much in the way of redevelopment this afternoon. Across the Bluegrass region of central Kentucky, showers and thunderstorms continue to push on off to the east. This activity will continue to affect our northeastern quarter for the remainder of the afternoon and should diminish during the evening hours. Elsewhere, partly to mostly cloudy skies were noted across the region. Southwesterly flow will continue across the region and an isolated shower or storm is still possible across much of central and southern Kentucky this afternoon. There is no clear focusing mechanism for convective initiation other than differential heating and convective overturning. So the coverage is expected to remain quite isolated and random this afternoon. With all the clouds to the north and some partial clearing across the south, we`ve got a pretty good gradient of temperatures across the region. Temperatures range from the mid-upper 60s in the north to the lower 80s across the south. Not really expecting a massive change in temperatures this afternoon. Though, some warming will be possible across southern Indiana and portions of north-central Kentucky as the convection comes to an end and we see a slight thinning of the cloud cover. For tonight, the latest short term multi-model consensus continues to be in agreement with convection ending during the evening hours due to the loss of heating. Will probably have partly to mostly cloudy skies across the region due to approaching mid-high level clouds to the west/southwest and left over convective debris from today`s convection. Surface winds should slacken off overnight and we will probably see some patchy fog develop. Overall, we believe that the best chances of fog will be in those areas that saw rainfall during the daylight hours (southern Indiana and in KY along and north of the I-64 corridor). Some of the high resolution WRF models (3km NCAR WRF and 4km LMK WRF) do show a weak vort lifting northward through western KY tonight. This may kick off another round of showers/storms just to the west of CWA. For now, plan on keeping things mostly dry tonight, but if convection does develop to our west and south, some modifications to the ongoing forecast to add in PoPs in our far west may be required with subsequent forecast updates. Lows tonight are expected to drop into the lower 60s in the west with upper 50s to around 60 in the east. These numbers are very close to the short term multi-model consensus forecast. For Friday, the latest data suggests that the upper low pinwheeling across the Arklatex this afternoon will slide eastward into MS/TN/AL during the day on Friday. Plenty of moisture, combined with daytime heating should result in scattered convection developing across the area once again. Unlike today, it appears that the most favored region for development on Friday would be in our southern and southwestern areas. For now will continue with the 40-50 percent coverage as the high resolution WRF models show multi-cellular convection developing during the afternoon hours. With regards to severe weather, the threat continues to look rather low at this point. Moisture is plentiful, but the shear and instability parameters are only marginal. Still, any storm will be capable of producing heavy rains, gusty winds and some small hail...along with plenty of lightning. Temperatures look to top out in the upper 70s...though if more sunshine gets through the clouds, lower 80s would certainly be possible. Convection looks to diminish in coverage Friday night due to the loss of heating once again. However, with the upper low in the vicinity, will continue to keep isolated showers/storms in the forecast for now. Lows Friday night look to cool back into the lower 60s. .Long Term (Saturday - Thursday)... Issued at 314 PM EDT Thu May 16 2013 At this time, a weak closed low is over Oklahoma. This feature will open up and weaken farther as it moves into slightly confluent flow over the Lower Ohio Valley by early Saturday. With this weak wave moving into a warm and humid environment characterized with PWATs around 1.5 inches, scattered thunderstorms are expected Saturday and Saturday night, and to a lesser extent on Sunday. With the polar jet displaced well to the north, any storm movement will be slow, bringing a possibility of localized heavy rain. Saturday may stay mostly cloudy, restricting highs to the mid to upper 70s. A significant trough will exit the Rockies early Sunday, assuming a negative tilt. In response, ridging at 500mb will build over the Mississippi Valley. Think that with building heights to our west on Sunday, much of any scattered afternoon precipitation will stay restricted to eastern Kentucky. Expect a warming trend Sunday and Monday. Southerly flow will begin Sunday afternoon and increase on Monday ahead of a surface trough expected to develop across the Great Plains. Expect a dry Sunday night through Tuesday morning time frame as weak subsidence associated with this ridge will limit instability, despite ample moisture. Temperatures in the lower to mid 80s on Sunday may rise into the upper 80s Monday. Both the ECMWF and GFS forecast a blocking pattern to begin to develop across central North America beginning Monday. In response to ridging across Manitoba, the trough exiting the Rockies will cut off into a closed circulation centered somewhere over the Dakotas by late Monday. At this time, this circulation will become vertically stacked as any surface low will lie right underneath the 500mb center of circulation. A front will slowly trudge southeast towards the Ohio River late Tuesday through early Wednesday. This boundary will provide the focus for several rounds of convection from late Tuesday through possibly as late as Thursday.

Issued at 125 AM EDT Fri May 17 2013 A complicated TAF forecast is in store with fog and t-storm issues. First of all, it looks like SDF/LEX will see some fog in the early morning hours due to a relative stable layer that has trapped good low level moisture from rains yesterday. Dewpt depressions have already fallen to between 1-2 degrees at SDF/LEX and will continue to close as the night wears on. Think that SDF will see MVFR vsbys in light br while LEX (which had more rain today) should see IFR vsbys in br. As for convection chances, we should see a lull in activity during the early morning hours. Convection ahead of an approaching upper low is pushing northeast out of western TN this morning and will make it into the TAF sites at roughly 10Z at BWG...14Z at SDF...and 1430Z at LEX respectively. Although precip may begin as showers at BWG, it will likely transition to some t-storm activity by mid morning with on and off t-storms expected throughout the day due to the approaching upper low and a good moist/unstable pool of air south of a sfc boundary located over northern IL/IN. After 3Z tonight, we`ll likely see some break in convection but waves of showers and possibly an isld t-storm will again be possible tonight as the remnant upper trough pushes into the Ohio Valley.

First, let me say a little something about barbeque and what it is:
(n) bar·be·que: 1) a social gathering at which food is roasted over an open fire 2) a large animal (pig/cow) that is roasted over an open fire, spit, or pit.
(v) bar·be·que: 1) to cook pork in a highly seasoned vinegar sauce.
Pork. Always pork. No beef, no chicken.
[this is NOT highly debated in North Carolina. But! You have to join one camp or another: do you like it chopped, sliced, pulled; With the red slaw or the green?; Vinegar-based or spicy tomato based? On a bun or with hushpuppies? The possibilities and the fights over authenticity will never end. I'm sure. But you can always join the North Carolina BBQ Society and argue with those folks.]
So...you can either go to a barbeque or eat it. But let it be known, that in the South, we eat barbeque. We don't go to one. We go to cookouts. Or just Cook Out.
I took it upon myself to make my own barbeque sauce for all of the meat I plan on roasting over the next 3 months. The wonderful people at POM Wonderful sent me a case of pomegranate juice and I drank a good bit of it, but I knew I needed to save some for culinary purposes.
Fast forward a few weeks and I'm drinking a local soft drink, Cheerwine, thinking about how great it'd be in a sauce. Cheerwine is Pennsylvania's equivilant to a wishniak. It's only sold in the Carolinas and there really is nothing like it. The fact that it comes in diet, makes it a staple in my kitchen. I digress...
So, bright idea #746: Pomegranate-Cheerwine BBQ sauce
Reduce equal parts pomegranate juice and Cheerwine (cherry-flavored soda can be substituted here) by 1/2. Add 1 part ketchup, 1 part light brown sugar, 3 cloves of garlic (minced) and white pepper to taste.
The result? A smoky, sweet sauce that goes fantastic on ribs...
Beef ribs, cole slaw, french fries, cornbread. The only thing missing were baked beans. And maybe a drop or two of Beano...
I used equal parts smoked salt, white pepper & my no-salt shake [a la Emeril] to rub down the ribs. I let them sit in the fridge for 8 hours before roasting.
Low & Slow: the keys to great ribs. 275 F oven for 3 hours. I basted the ribs after 90 min of cooking & had the sauce available or dipping at the table. Since I don't have my own grill in my tiny apartment, I have to cheat... A) use the stovetop smoker or B) use smoked salt.

Gorgon is a story of energy and the environment as well as technology and expertise.
It is one of the world's largest natural gas projects and the largest single resource development in Australia's history.
The Gorgon Project is developing the Gorgon and Jansz-Io gas fields, located within the Greater Gorgon area, between 130 and 220 kilometres off the northwest coast of Western Australia.
It includes the construction of a 15 million tonne per annum (MTPA) liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on Barrow Island and a domestic gas plant with the capacity to supply 300 terajoules of gas per day to Western Australia.
Gorgon LNG will be off loaded via a 2.1 kilometre long loading jetty for transport to international markets. The domestic gas will be piped to the Western Australian mainland.
The Gorgon joint venture is investing approximately $2 billion in the design and construction of the world's largest commercial-scale CO2 injection facility to reduce the project's overall greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 40 percent or 3.6 million tonnes per year. The Australian Government has committed $60 million to the Gorgon Carbon Dioxide Injection Project as part of the Low Emissions Technology Demonstration Fund.
Gorgon will be an important pillar of the Australian economy for more than 40 years. Economic benefits from the first 30 years of the initial project scope,according to ACIL Tasman will include a projected AU$64 billion boost to Australia's Gross Domestic Product and direct and indirect employment of around 10,000 people at peak construction. Australian businesses also will benefit with many contractor opportunities.
Barrow Island will be Gorgon's home – occupying 1.3 percent of its un-cleared land mass. Although a Class A Nature Reserve, it is recognised internationally as a location where industry and the environment co-exist.
The Gorgon Project is being constructed on Barrow Island, located around 60 kilometres off the northwest coast of Western Australia.

The spring cucumber crop usually brings the first and largest fresh stock of the season. Pickle packer Chaska, Minn.-based M.A. Gedney Co. producer of Del Monte, Gedney and Cains brand pickles and relishes, introduces a "crop" of seven new products including a savory new Balsamic Muncher and reduced-sodium and sugar-free recipes.Varieties include: Del Monte Sugar-Free Sweet Pickle Relish; Del Monte Sugar-Free Sweet Gherkin Pickles; Gedney Balsamic Munchers; Cains Reduced-Sodium Hamburger Chip; Cains Sugar-Free Bread & Butter (B&B) Chip; Cains Sugar-Free Sweet Relish; and Cains Balsamic Munchers.
"Pickles have long been a nutritious favorite food of which people are passionate," says Jim Cook, VP technical services. "Yet recently consumers have requested reduced-sodium and sugar-free options. We're proud to meet their demand without compromising the quality or flavor of our pickles."
The Reduced-Sodium Hamburger Chip recipe has a 25 percent reduction in sodium and the sugar-free varieties use the calorie-free sugar substitute sucralose, providing consumers with no-sugar sweet relish, B&B and gherkin choices.
Cains Pickle fans will also notice a fresh, eye-catching red label on new and existing products. The re-design claims a bolder presence on store shelves. And all three brands now include at-a-glance nutrition icons on the labels indicating sugar-free, gluten-free and low-carb, making it easier for shoppers to identify products that meet special dietary concerns.
"Gedney Co. has been producing premium selections on grocery shelves for nearly 130 years," says Joe Pinto, VP of sales. "The new recipes and updated labels are an example of our innovation in the pickle category. Plus we've included our cuke mascot; "Dilly", who is a great reminder for pickle fans to visit Dilly the Pickle online, to download recipes, get nutritional information and join the fun."

Greenland glaciers not gaining speed as much as speculated
Washington, May 4 (ANI): Greenland's contribution to rising sea level in the 21st century might be significantly less than the upper limits some scientists thought possible, say researchers.
They came to the conclusion after observing changes in the speed that ice travels in more than 200 outlet glaciers.
"So far, on average we're seeing about a 30 percent speedup in 10 years," said Twila Moon, a University of Washington doctoral student in Earth and space sciences and lead author of a paper documenting the observations.
The faster the glaciers move, the more ice and meltwater they release into the ocean.
In a previous study, scientists trying to understand the contribution of melting ice to rising sea level in a warming world considered a scenario in which the Greenland glaciers would double their velocity between 2000 and 2010 and then stabilize at the higher speed, and another scenario in which the speeds would increase tenfold and then stabilize.
At the lower rate, Greenland ice would contribute about four inches to rising sea level by 2100 and at the higher rate the contribution would be nearly 19 inches by the end of this century.
But the researchers who conducted that study had little precise data available for how major ice regions, primarily in Greenland and Antarctica, were behaving in the face of climate change.
In the new study, the scientists created a decadelong record of changes in Greenland outlet glaciers by producing velocity maps using data from the Canadian Space Agency's Radarsat-1 satellite, Germany's TerraSar-X satellite and Japan's Advanced Land Observation Satellite.
They started with the winter of 2000-01 and then repeated the process for each winter from 2005-06 through 2010-11, and found that the outlet glaciers had not increased in velocity as much as had been speculated.
"In some sense, this raises as many questions as it answers. It shows there's a lot of variability," said Ian Joughin, a glaciologist in the UW's Applied Physics Laboratory, and co-author of the study.
The scientists saw no clear indication in the new research that the glaciers will stop gaining speed during the rest of the century, and so by 2100 they could reach or exceed the scenario in which they contribute four inches to sea level rise.
"There's the caveat that this 10-year time series is too short to really understand long-term behaviour," said Ian Howat, an assistant professor of earth sciences at Ohio State University who is also one of the co-authors.
"So there still may be future events - tipping points - that could cause large increases in glacier speed to continue. Or perhaps some of the big glaciers in the north of Greenland that haven't yet exhibited any changes may begin to speed up, which would greatly increase the rate of sea level rise," he noted.
The record showed a complex pattern of behaviour. Nearly all of Greenland's largest glaciers that end on land move at top speeds of 30 to 325 feet a year, and their changes in speed are small because they are already moving slowly. Glaciers that terminate in fjord ice shelves move at 1,000 feet to a mile a year, but didn't gain speed appreciably during the decade.
In the east, southeast and northwest areas of Greenland, glaciers that end in the ocean can travel seven miles or more in a year. Their changes in speed varied (some even slowed), but on average the speeds increased by 28 percent in the northwest and 32 percent in the southeast during the decade.
"We can't look at one glacier for 100 years, but we can look at 200 glaciers for 10 years and get some idea of what they're doing," Joughin said.
The finding has been published in Science. (ANI)

The -- of a TSA today defending the agency's new policy to allow certain knives on board planes.
But not tubes of toothpaste -- -- now.
You'll recall the TSA recently announced that beginning next month travelers will be allowed to carry aboard some knives under two and a half inches.
And some previously banned sports equipment like your favor that but.
You can still you still can't carry certain tubes of toothpaste and gels and other liquids you know your shampoo four ounces last.
Well to David TSA chief John pistol said they made the decision based on the latest Intel.
It is the judgment of many security experts worldwide which I agree with that -- small pocket knife is simply not going to result in catastrophic failure of an aircraft.
And and and I improvised explosive device will.
And we know from internal Covert testing searching for these items which will not blow open aircraft can distract her security officers from focusing on the components -- Democratic congressman Ed Markey is now pushing a bill that would ban all -- from commercial flights.
After flight attendants criticize that new rule but the TSA does not appear to be budging on this Michael -- money joins us.
He's a former director of Homeland Security for New York State and the current president of Redlands strategies seek security consulting firm good to -- Thank you -- part of band of terrorists use box cutters not knives box cutters to hijack planes on 9/11 and murder.
Roughly 3000.
Innocent people.
Could they do the same with -- pocket -- Well since -- -- -- the cockpit door obviously that becomes less.
-- event it still can play is concerned are right it could still happen like that if they got into the cockpit and that's that's a question but you know Craig you just need the defining moment was on eleven.
That's it that's the threat we all try to prevent with TSA that's what -- congressman -- created the law that's it turned event since 9/11 there have been three events.
The 2005 liquid explosive plot -- Richard Reid.
That shoe bombing and album -- put the bomb in the end of a in the underpants what's more concerning about everything is going on and can you detect explosives yet.
Look I realize that pistol is -- in some extent you're saying gotta look out for the bombs because those are the latest techniques of al-Qaeda that al-Qaeda.
Often goes back to some of their earlier.
-- And in this particular case why can't TSA focus both on.
Hand weapons like knives as well as bombs should they be doing both.
I think that's -- that's a fair statement I didn't think it.
-- you should the reality of it is that you know TSA was created.
To prevent the taking the out of -- plane the security and playing is of concern to everybody a pistol said there's no Intel.
About the scenario of using knives how -- common sense.
We know anybody who what he's basing on is that there are 25000 flights a day in the US just to US.
And since two and 2010 in the world basically has adopted -- you can bring on these large knives and haven't had instance but what you're saying is is also some -- it -- They're saying is what the editorial board of the Washington Post said we'll put it up on the screen post nine elevenths era of reinforced cockpit doors and savvy passengers air Marshal program flooded tennis train in self defense.
Allowing Penn Nuys will not result in such tragedies happen if the use the pen knives to start telling off passengers.
And and basically forcing.
The opening of the cockpit -- that -- Well that's really one of the questions we haven't seen that that's what they're basing it on past.
Those are killing twenty we're gonna kill a 150 more into -- open that -- to -- a pilot might decide to do so.
And it's a concern for safety overall but again congress should revisit the statute.
What is the role TSA posts on eleven now but the same time -- -- the checkpoints get what they're supposed to get that's really concerned are.
Michael now -- it is the maximum.

Gorilla gorilla diehli (Matschie, 1904) |
The Cross River gorilla (Gorilla gorilla diehli) is a subspecies of the western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla). In 2009, the Cross River gorilla was finally captured on professional video on a forested mountain in Cameroon.[2]
Contents |
Description, comparison to other subspecies [edit]
The morphological distinctiveness of the Cross River Gorilla was first recognized in 1998.[3] Subsequent analyses of cranial and tooth morphology lent support to the distinctiveness of the Cross River gorilla and the gorilla was described as a distinct subspecies in 2000.[4][5]
Behavior [edit]
A study published in 2007 in the American Journal of Primatology announced the discovery of the subspecies fighting back against possible threats from humans.[6] They "found several instances of gorillas throwing sticks and clumps of grass".[7] This is unusual.[8] When encountered by humans, gorillas usually flee and rarely charge.
Geographical distribution [edit]
This subspecies is populated at the border between Nigeria and Cameroon, in both tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests which are also home to the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee, another subspecies of great ape.
Estimates on the number of Cross River gorillas remaining is 250–300 in the wild, concentrated in approximately 9–11 locations.[1] Genetic research published in 2007[9] and field surveys suggest these locations are linked by the occasional migration of individual gorillas. The nearest population of western lowland gorilla is about 250 km (160 mi) away.
Conservation status [edit]
While all western gorillas are Critically Endangered (in the case of the western lowland gorilla due in part to Ebola virus), the Cross River gorilla is the most endangered of the African apes. It is one of the world's 25 most endangered primates according to the IUCN Primate Specialist Group.[10]
Both loss of habitat and intense hunting for bushmeat have contributed to the decline of this subspecies. A conservation plan for the Cross River gorilla was published in 2007 and outlines the most important actions necessary to preserve this subspecies.[11] In 2008, the government of Cameroon created the Takamanda National Park on the border with Nigeria as an attempt to protect these gorillas.[12] The park now forms part of an important trans-boundary protected area with Nigeria's Cross River National Park, safeguarding an estimated 115 gorillas—a third of the Cross River gorilla population—along with other rare species.[13] The hope is that the gorillas should be able to move between the Takamanda reserve in Cameroon over the border to Nigeria's Cross River National Park.
