Alabama offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is leaving Tuscaloosa to become the offensive line coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, according to footballscoop.com. Stoutland has a reputation for being a good recruiter, and the timing makes sense that he would leave right after National Signing Day.
SB Nation's Eagles blog, Bleeding Green Nation, likes what they see at first sight.
There's very little to not like about Stoutland. Obviously he got to coach blue chippers at Alabama and that undoubtedly was a big part of what made them so dominant, but he clearly had a major hand in developing those guys as well. If he can bring that kind of success to the NFL... look out.
In addition to his recruiting prowess, Stoutland has helped shape Alabama's offensive line into one of the most consistent and dominant units in all of college football.
Alabama's 2013 recruiting class is considered by many to be the top class in the nation, and those that don't have the Crimson Tide at No. 1 have them in the top three.
The transition from coaching on Nick Saban's staff to Chip Kelly's staff will be a significant one, before even taking into account the change from leaping to the NFL level. Saban and Kelly run offenses that are almost polar opposites, and Saban recently went as far as to say that hurry-up spread offenses like Kelly's may be bad for football.

How to add multithread support to your Qt application
Nokia Belle
This article explains how to manage multithread into a mobile application. QHdrCamera will be used as showcase.
QHdrCamera is a component component able to create High Dynamic Range images.
Basically to do that the component captures three photos at different exposure range mixing them using some algorithms. For further information, please referr to this article.
The capture image in sequence have to be faster than possible. Heach time the QML component will be asked to shot a frame it saves in a default path the captured image and after is ready to capture another frame.
At the end of the three image capturing process, the flow process need to load all three photo into memory for the raw image processing to produce our HDR image.
The loading process is very slow, expecially at resolution growing, due to the ( time of writing ) phone memory speed, so this has impacts the overall processing time. If during the next frame shooting application was able to begin the previous saved frame into memory this will reduce the waiting time, enhancing user experience.

NEW ORLEANS -- Tourism officials compared WrestleMania to a Final Four or an NBA Allstar game. World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE, announced Monday that New Orleans will host their 30th championship in 2014.
It's a sellout event that could bring tens of thousands to town.
To announce the event, WWE put on a press conference as well produced as one of their shows. The ballroom at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome was dimly-lit with spot lights and disco balls. Pre-produced videos aired on a massive screen behind the speakers on a central stage, while music boomed on cue. Everyone who took to the stage got their own entrance music, something that made Mayor Mitch Landrieu giggle when he walked up to the podium.
City officials, actors and wrestlers joined in on Monday's announcement, including John Cena.
"I am genuinely excited to come here for WrestleMania," he said at Monday's announcement.
The event is expected to draw 100,000 people to New Orleans in April of next year.
"It's a rock concert. It's a soap opera. It's all rolled into one. Every form of entertainment. Every form of sport all rolled into one," said WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon.
The excitement over WrestleMania extends beyond the Superdome, however, all the way to the Morial Convention Center, where outside events will be hosted all that week.
"I'm sure it's gonna be a sellout, which is a minimum of 70,000 people depending on what the seating configuration will be," said Jay Cicero, CEO of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation.
It's the latest in a string of major sporting events choosing New Orleans as their host city. In 2014, New Orleans will also host another NBA All Star Game.
"We are in the business of sports entertainment. I don't think there's any city in America that does it better than us and this is one of the premier events," Landrieu said.
WrestleMania is WWE's championship, and this year it's at the Medowlands in New Jersey, the same stadium that will host the Super Bowl next year.
"These are big facilities with large seating capacities and they are our rivals as far as bidding on events," Cicero said.
It's the fruit of a sales mission in 2008.
Last year, WWE commissioned an economic impact study of the WrestleMania event in Miami. It showed a $100 million economic impact. New Orleans is hoping for something similar.

RALEIGH — North Carolinas loss on Sunday and Dukes close call on Tuesday were warnings for N.C. State.
An 82-72 overtime loss to N.C. Central on Wednesday was a dose of reality for the Wolfpack.
Anything is possible, thats just how it is in college basketball, N.C. State junior Ralston Turner said. On any night, anybody can get beat.
With 29 points from senior guard Jeremy Ingram, N.C. Central knocked off N.C. State for its first win over an ACC team.
The Eagles (3-1) had lost their first 13 games against the ACC since making the transition to Division I before the 2007-08 season. They had lost the previous four games to N.C. State by an average of 23 points.
But Wednesdays game, between a veteran NCCU team and an N.C. State program in transition was quite different. The Eagles controlled the game and led for most of it.
It was a huge win for North Carolina Central University, fifth-year coach LeVelle Moton said. Every low major program, every HBCU, hopefully they can look at this and feel inspired.
With N.C. State (2-2) drowning in foul trouble and misery from the 3-point line (3 of 20), it looked like the Eagles would walk to a win in regulation.
A pair of free throws by senior guard Emanuel Chapman (18 points) gave NCCU (3-1) a 59-53 lead with 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the second half.
Then N.C. State got five points from freshman guard Cat Barber, who finished with a team-high 22 points, followed by a layup by sophomore guard Tyler Lewis with 13.2 seconds left to cut NCCUs lead to 62-60.
Ingram, a 6-3 shooting guard from Charlotte, scored 23 of his points after the first half. He made one free throw and missed the second with 11.3 seconds left to leave the door open.
With starters T.J. Warren (13 points) and Desmond Lee (12) on the bench with five fouls, Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried turned to freshman walk-on Patrick Wallace.
Wallace, a 6-1 guard from Charlotte, is one of the best shooters on the team but his work is mostly confined to practice.
With Barber squeezed out of the lane by NCCUs zone, he picked up the ball a step outside the paint and found Wallace in the right corner. Wallace, who spent the first 39 minutes of the game on the bench, coolly caught the ball and drained the 3.
Ive seen him do that time and time again in practice, Lee said. I was like, Weve got another life.
But Ingram was not to be denied in overtime. He channeled his anger from the missed free throw at the end of regulation into nine straight points.
Before instant hero Wallace could crank up another 3 (he missed), the Wolfpack was already down 70-63 in overtime.
I felt like that could have been the thing that lost the game, Ingram said of the missed free throw. I wanted to come out and really be aggressive and try to get us over the hump.
Gottfried wasnt surprised by the result. The Eagles have seven players back from a team that won 22 games last season and went 15-1 in the MEAC.
Theyre a veteran team and they played like a veteran team, Gottfried said. Theyre a good team. Theyre going to win a lot of games.
I think were going to get good, were not there obviously right now.
For Moton, it was the kind of win that will get his fledgling program, which competed in Division II and the CIAA conference until 2007, a foot in the crowded market that is Triangle basketball.
Ever since we made this transition, weve been fighting for respect, Moton said. Its really tough on Tobacco Road, in our backyard to not be mentioned with the big boys with Duke and Carolina and N.C. State.
After Wednesdays historic win, the Eagles have earned their bragging rights.

Milnacipran, marketed under the brand name Savella in the United States, is the latest drug to receive Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the management of fibromyalgia. The FDA approved fibromyalgia indications for two other drugs — pregabalin (Lyrica) and duloxetine (Cymbalta) — in 2007 and 2008, respectively.
Outside the United States, milnacipran already has a track record as an antidepressant.
It is similar to duloxetine in that both drugs increase the supply of serotonin and norepinephrine (chemical messengers, also known as neurotransmitters) available to your brain. The difference is that milnacipran gives your brain a larger boost in norepinephrine. Neuroscientists refer to this property of milnacipran as "norepinephrine selectivity."
Many studies have demonstrated that pain receptors tend to be hypersensitive in people with fibromyalgia. By exerting a stronger effect on norepinephrine than on serotonin, milnacipran may scale back the brain's exaggerated reaction to neurochemicals associated with painful sensations.
In clinical trials, milnacipran was significantly better than was a placebo at reducing pain and other physical symptoms in study participants who had fibromyalgia and did not also have depression or anxiety.
Studies are under way to determine whether milnacipran may also improve sleep disturbances common to fibromyalgia. Upcoming clinical trials may determine whether milnacipran can be safely and effectively given in combination with other fibromyalgia medications.
If your doctor prescribes milnacipran for your fibromyalgia symptoms, you'll typically start with a low dose. Then, under your doctor's guidance, you can gradually work up to 100 milligrams (mg) a day, usually in two separate 50 mg doses. In some cases, the dose can be increased to 200 mg a day.

Roger Stone's New Book Says L.B.J. Killed Kennedy
Roger Stone, the sharp-dressed, right-wing political operative who is no fan of any Democrat, has it in for Lyndon Johnson. Mr. Stone says the architect of the War on Poverty and the Great Society is better remembered as the Great Conspirator and accuses him of responsibility for nine murders, including the greatest crime of the 20th century, the assassination of John F. Kennedy.Read More

Ten Facts About Me:
1) I love my horses, barrel racing, rodeo, and my rodeo friends.
2) I consider writing a passion. There is no bigger compliment to me than telling me that one of my stories made you cry.
3) I'm disgustingly in love with my boyfriend, whom I've been dating for over a year now. 4) Supernatural is a bangin' show with a bangin' cast (literally *wink, wink*). 5) Destiel is my ship. 6) Reading is something I do constantly. It's not uncommon for me to finish reading a book in less than a day. I can read three sometimes four books in a week. 7) I really want to be a published author someday. 8) I live in smalltown USA, population 400. 9) I'm attending college, it's annoying. 10) I love cuddling and being the little spoon!

A few fields have an especially bad reputation for cronyism, but the truth is that it exists everywhere. Say, you are hiring a contractor. Your two top candidates are equally gifted and both have extremely impressive résumés. The only difference is, you personally know and like one of them and you don't know the other one at all. All credentials being the same, who would you choose?
When you're at the beginning of your professional career, that corporate ladder can look pretty tall from the bottom. But while you'll have to work hard (and be patient) to merit promotions, there are a few tips and tricks you can use to move up that ladder faster.
"I'll just go on the interview to get some practice." That's what I told myself when a company I randomly sent my cover letter and resume to after a miserable week at my job called me to set an interview. They were a privately owned temporary staffing agency called, Office Specialists. (FYI - they were eventually bought by one of the largest staffing companies in the world, Randstad.) They had posted for a training specialist for their HR department.
"The Permission Paradox" - You can't get the job without the experience but you can't get the experience without the job - is one of the great career Catch-22s. This challenge will confront you over the lifetime of your career, whether you're trying to break into the work force or you're to become a CEO for the first time. While the phenomenon can be frustrating no matter what your level, the Permission Paradox is especially challenging for today's aspiring young professional and recent graduates.
After growing roughly 30 percent in 2013 and being on track for 20+ percent growth this year, we're interviewing job candidates on a weekly basis.
I don't know if this is a Silicon Valley phenomenon — demand outstrips supply causing candidates to get lackadaisical — or if this trend holds across the country, but I'm often surprised by the lack of preparation on the part of job candidates.
Even if the demand-supply equation works in your favor, it still seems like common sense to put your best foot forward.

Who is responsible for cleaning and managing sites?
Caretaking Services are responsible for cleaning the communal areas and dealing with site management issues at 163 sites citywide. A team of area caretakers maintains each site that receives a service. There are 10 teams citywide, each of which is led by a Site Coordinator. The teams work:
- Monday to Thursday, 7.30am to 4pm.
- Fridays, 7.30am to 3.30pm.
On larger sites morning weekend cover is provided where needed. Look on the Caretaking Services site notice board to find out who your Site Coordinator is. You can find this in the foyer, or laundry if you have one.
Report a cleaning or site management issue
To report anything between 8.30am and 6pm please contact Caretaking Services. You can also report any issues using Looking Local. For more information on accessing our digital services please see our leaflet Going digital:Your Caretaking Service (pdf, 90 KB)(opens new window).
Outside of these times, if it's an emergency, contact our Emergency Control Centre:
- Telephone: 0117 922 2050.
- Textphone: 0117 922 3892.
- Fax: 0117 922 2379.
How often should sites be cleaned?
Caretaking and cleaning tasks vary from site to site. Please see our cleaning tasks at multi-storey and walk-up blocks of flats (pdf, 21 KB)(opens new window) poster which is on display on the Caretaking Services site noticeboard. If you would like a copy please contact Caretaking Services.
How are standards of cleaning monitored?
Every site must meet our agreed caretaking standard. We carry out regular site inspections with tenants to check that the standards are being met. These involve:
- A Site Coordinator along with a tenant(s) and or Area Caretaker walking the site. They check a number of elements such as external areas, bin rooms and staircases. Each element is given a score, which is recorded on a site inspection form.
- For a site to be judged satisfactory it needs to reach a score of 67%. If it reaches above 75% it is judged as meeting a high standard.
- If any element is judged to be unsatisfactory, actions to resolve this will be agreed. These are recorded and will be re-checked at the next site inspection to make sure they have been done.
- Any repairs are recorded and reported to the Repairs and Maintenance Service.
- Any breaches of tenancy conditions and anti-social behaviour are recorded and reported to the Estate Management Service.
- The results of each inspection, including any actions required, are displayed on the Caretaking Services site noticeboard.
When do site inspections take place?
- Most sites are inspected monthly, though this varies from site to site.
- If you have time you would be very welcome to join us on an inspection. We can provide you with training.
- You can find out when inspections take place at your site, by looking on the Caretaking Services site noticeboard.
- Inspections usually start at the main entrance. For more information please contact Caretaking Services.
How much does the service cost?
The amount that you pay for the caretaking service depends on how much cleaning your site requires. There are five charges in total. For more information please see council tenants: rent and service charges.

On X-Files Red, Not Lohan Red: A Haircut Trauma

Just cut your own hair. No "trauma" necessary.

On Friday Open Thread
@adorable-eggplant I'm on the Drynuary wagon as well. THIS IS A SECRET, BUT: I had a beer while out bowling with friends last Saturday. One beer, went home early, haven't had anything else since. I'm chalking it up to "waste not, want not", because it was a free beer that a friend bought me not knowing that I was dry. I might go an extra day to make up for it, but I'm considering one drink in a month a damn victory.

@D.@twitter I have a embroidered, gauzy, see-through hippie tunic of my mom's from the 60's. The first time my mom saw me wearing it with a camisole underneath, she sighed and said
"You know, in my day, I didn't bother to wear anything under that. Not even a bra!"
Now, I am am much more endowed in the breasticle region than my mother ever was, but GOOD GOD.

Citing "the university's cooperation in the investigation, which went beyond standard expectations", the NCAA accepts the Gamecocks' self-imposed penalties and slaps a "failure to monitor" label on the program. No post-season ban, though.
This is the part I found interesting:
The committee noted the trend of an increased importance placed on unofficial visits, particularly for football and men's basketball. Rather than utilizing school-funded official visits, unofficial visits can be utilized to circumvent certain requirements for recruits to provide academic transcripts or test scores before they visit. These expanded recruiting opportunities are often funded by a third party other than the student-athlete's family and provide coaches with important early access to prospects.
Sounds like the OBC was pushing the envelope and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Chalk it up as one more thing he did differently from his days as a Gator.
UPDATE: In case you're wondering, here's how the scholarship numbers break down…
The NCAA is breaking down the scholly reduction a little differently than USC. Capped at 82 overall and 22 yearly in 2013-2014.—

- First-inning foul call raises questions
- Bruised hand pushes Saunders to Game 4 start
- Roberts adjusting to shadows at Miller Park
- Goldschmidt starts over Overbay in Game 2
- Tickets available for Game 3 at Chase Field
MILWAUKEE -- Some may think that the D-backs were not patient enough against Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo in Game 1 of the National League Division Series.
Manager Kirk Gibson, though, is not one of them.
"I think we took a lot of really good pitches," Gibson said. "We took six third strikes. In my opinion we should have been more aggressive."
The D-backs struck out 10 times overall, partly a result of Gallardo and partly because of their approach against him.
"The guy pitched a good game, Gallardo threw the ball well," Gibson said. "He threw to his spots, he didn't miss. Give him credit."
First-inning foul call raises questions
MILWAUKEE -- It did not take long for there to be a controversial call in Game 2 of the National League Division Series.
D-backs second baseman Aaron Hill, the second batter of the game, lined a ball down the left-field line that hit off the wall for what would have been a double.
Left-field umpire James Hoye, however, ruled that the ball had struck the wall to the foul side of yellow line on the padded wall.
There was no argument from Hill because he could not get a good look from 344 feet away, and with the way the visiting dugout is situated at Miller Park, none of the D-backs there could see it clearly either.
Major League Baseball does allow for video review of fair or foul home run calls, but not on whether a ball off the wall is fair or foul.
How the inning would have unfolded had the ball been ruled fair is anybody's guess. Hill stepped back in the box and promptly lined a single to center. The D-backs failed to advance him past first as Justin Upton popped out and Miguel Montero struck out.
"It is what it is," Hill said. "You know James is a great umpire and it's tough to see out there. It didn't seem like it changed anything, so who knows?"
Hill did not watch a replay of the hit after the game, but did hear about it from his teammates.
"I heard it was fair," he said. "I didn't look at it. I mean you can't go back and change it, so there's no reason to get upset about it."
A reporter jokingly told Hill that he got two hits in one at-bat.
"What was I, 4-for-3 then?" he asked.
Hill went 3-for-3 with three singles and a pair of walks.
Bruised hand pushes Saunders to Game 4 start
MILWAUKEE -- Kirk Gibson's decision to start Josh Collmenter in Game 3 of the National League Division Series and Joe Saunders in Game 4 was in part because of Collmenter's success against the Brewers this season.
But it wasn't the entire reason.
Saunders has a bruised left hand, the result of getting jammed by a pitch in batting practice prior to his start last Wednesday.
"I think it had a little bit of effect on his last game," Gibson said of Saunder's start against the Dodgers, when he allowed five runs in six innings. "So I just wanted to give him an extra day as well."
Collmenter has dominated the Brewers in two appearances this season. The right-hander did not allow a run in 14 innings against Milwaukee in a pair of starts this year.
The first time that Collmenter faced the Brewers was at Miller Park, when he tossed six innings. He then allowed just three hits over eight innings at Chase Field.
Collmenter, who has a funky over-the-top delivery, last pitched on Sept. 25.
"Collmenter has been good on extra rest this year, has been fairly decent against the Brewers," Gibson said. "A little bit of deception from our first two guys."
Saunders' hand should not prevent him from pitching Game 4, and it did not sound like Gibson would bring Game 1 starter Ian Kennedy back on short rest for Game 4. As it stands now, Kennedy would pitch a Game 5 if necessary.
"I'm not saying I wouldn't do it, but I'd probably steer away from it," Gibson said of using a pitcher on short rest in the playoffs. "We've played as a team all year. I've stayed in the rotation most of the year, have given guys extra time. As I sit here today I'd probably stay away from that. I'm not saying I wouldn't change my mind. I continue to let the guys who have pitched and played all year play, and we'll have Ian for the fifth game if we need that."
Saunders is the lone starter with postseason experience, having started once for the Angels in the 2008 American League Division Series and twice in the 2009 AL Championship Series. The left-hander faced the Brewers on July 20 this year at Chase Field and did not get a decision after allowing two runs over seven innings.
Roberts adjusting to shadows at Miller Park
MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Roberts obviously had no problem seeing the ball at the plate in the latter stages of Saturday's Game 1 of the National League Division Series, with the shadows and light dissecting Miller Park's landscape.
But Roberts, who drilled an eighth-inning homer to center off the Brewers' Yovani Gallardo to provide the D-backs' only run in the opener, said it wasn't easy to pick up the ball in the field during that time of day, which happens to be about the time that Sunday's Game 2 was to begin.
"It wasn't that bad hitting," Arizona's third baseman said on Sunday. "I would say it was worse being in the field; you know, playing where you're in the shade and the backdrop is in the light, it was tougher to see. You couldn't see anything coming off the bat."
As the 4:07 p.m. CT game time approached on Sunday, it appeared that the light and shadow would have some effect early in the game, at least. The glass panels on the south side of the ballpark were allowing the sun to bathe the entire infield in light, the swath of light seemingly pointed directly toward the left side of the infield, headed out to left field.
Goldschmidt starts over Overbay in Game 2
MILWAUKEE -- For Game 1 of the National League Division Series, Kirk Gibson went with experience at first base in Lyle Overbay.
Looking to add a little more pop to his lineup in Game 2, Gibson went with rookie slugger Paul Goldschmidt.
The 24-year-old hit .250 with nine doubles and eight homers in just 156 at-bats and hit a pair of homers off the Giants' Tim Lincecum since being called up from Double-A on Aug. 1.
"Goldy has been really great for us since he's come up," Gibson said. "He had a great year in the Minor Leagues this year. We brought him up and he's had a great impact on our success. He's just the kind of guy who is a big-time player. He's had huge at-bats for us, just huge at-bats to get where we are today. And he probably has a little more power than Lyle."
The move instantly paid off, as Goldschmidt homered leading off the second inning against Brewers starter Zack Greinke.
Overbay was signed by the D-backs after being released by the Pirates in August.
Tickets available for Game 3 at Chase Field
MILWAUKEE -- Tickets are available for Tuesday's Game 3 of the National League Division Series between the D-backs and Brewers.
Game time is set for 6:30 p.m. MST, and Wednesday's Game 4 is slated for the same time, should an Arizona win extend the series. After falling, 9-4, on Sunday, the D-backs trail Milwaukee 2-0 in the best-of-five series.
Starting at $12, fans can purchase single-game tickets at dbacks.com, by calling 602-514-8400, at the Chase Field Ticket Office or any Ticketmaster location.
Tuesday's contest marks the first playoff game at Chase Field since 2007.

Keep Blount Beautiful is once again searching for a new coordinator.
Allison Teeters will leave Dec. 31 to begin work as the coordinator at the Keep Knox County Beautiful office, Keep Blount Beautiful president Tim Self said Thursday, Dec. 27.
Teeters became coordinator of Keep Blount Beautiful in August of this year when Kristi Falco stepped down to go back to college and pursue a career in nursing. She was living in Maryville with her family but commuting to Sevierville where she was coordinator of Keep Sevier County Beautiful.
The position in Knox County became available when the coordinator for the program there took a new job as director of solid waste for Knox County. Teeters worked for Keep Knox County Beautiful while she was earning her masters in public administration, so she was familiar with the organization. Self was not surprised they considered her for the job because of how well she led Keep Sevier County Beautiful.
"Allison … was coordinator of the year for all Keep America Beautiful affiliates in the state of Tennessee, and it made sense for them to approach her," he said. "She'll be there managing staff and that will give her a more well-rounded experience. It's a great opportunity for her."
Teeters had mixed emotions about making the switch. "It's a real exciting opportunity. It's the largest (affiliate) in the area. It's like a homecoming, but it is with a heavy heart I took the job," she said. "I love Keep Blount Beautiful. I'm not leaving because I was miserable. I cried a little because I was leaving such a good program, but it's a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. It's the new challenges you're looking for."
Self said Keep Blount Beautiful will be doing a local search. "After the board meeting on Jan. 4, we'll have a timeline. This is first time Keep Blount Beautiful has had to do a search," he said.
The first coordinator for the organization was Sue Dawson. Then Kristi Falco served as coordinator and when she left, it made sense for Allison to come work with the organization because she lived in Maryville, Self said.
"We do hope to have the position filled at the latest by mid-March," Self said.
Self said there are opportunities and challenges for the new coordinator and for the group members. "The biggest challenge any new person will have will be building relationships on behalf of the organization," he said.
Self said Keep Blount Beautiful is also working to complete the capital campaign for the landfill learning center. About $65,000 of the $110,000 goal remains to be raised, he said.
Teeter said the landfill learning center is wonderful opportunity and school children love it. "We can do so much with that," she said. "I heard more than once that it was the best field trip they had been on," she said. "That has so much potential.
Self said the group has learned that, with losing two coordinators so close together, the organization is extremely dependent on the coordinator. "As a volunteer organization, we realize we have to have more volunteer empowerment and ownership of the programs," he said. "Things should continue whether we have a coordinator or not."
Another challenge for the group will be for volunteers to step up and work the phone book recycling program through the schools and cities. The group also must prepare for the spring landfill learning center rotation where all the schools in the county visit the landfill to learn about recycling, composting and being a good steward of the environment.

Inspired by Biology
Exploring Nature's Toolbox
23rd-25th October 2014
Registration is now open!
While scientific research continues to enable innovations in technology, it also raises questions and issues that we do not yet have the tools to address. However, similar challenges have often been faced and overcome in nature.
The 16th EMBL PhD symposium, entitled "Inspired by Biology - Exploring Nature's Toolbox", will delve into the creative and multidisciplinary uses of existing biological mechanisms to solve problems in basic and applied sciences. The conference will cover a range of fields from DNA nanorobots and xenonucleic acids through to tissue engineering and biomaterials.
The EMBL PhD symposium is organized every year by first-year PhD students of all EMBL outstations. Participants from all over the world gather in Heidelberg, Germany, for a three-day event with talks from both top-level scientists and PhD students themselves. Additionally, participants have the opportunity to take part in informal blackboard sessions given by the keynote speakers, offering an exciting means to discuss the topics directly with leading experts.
In a time when the value of basic research is being questioned, the 2014 symposium hopes to demonstrate the diverse ways in which biological knowledge can be applied to solve problems of public, academic and industrial interest.
Recent developments in biological techniques that have opened new prospects in various fields of modern medicine will be covered on Day 1.
When it comes to research and development, evolution has a multi-million year head start over mankind. Day 2's topics will address how scientists are taking advantage of the fascinating properties and components that natural systems have developed over the ages.
Day 3 will offer an overview of currently available techniques that allow radical modifications of living organisms and their genomes. The day will conclude with a Science and Society session.
In addition to lectures given by leading scientists, the programme will feature 12 short talks given by student participants, poster sessions and a workshop on scientific communication. Time will be dedicated every day to informal discussions with the speakers in the form of "Blackboard Sessions" and a panel discussion with questions from the audience. The conference will be concluded by a Science & Society session dealing with the societal aspects of the exciting works presented.
Participants will also enjoy social events such as an evening in the Heidelberg old town, and a party on Saturday night!
Heidelberg is easily reached by train, car or plane from any country in the world. The EMBL campus is located in Heidelberg's neighbourhood area of Boxberg which is approximately 10 minutes by car from Heidelberg's city centre.

Torrential rain pelted the ground as our truck slid and swayed over a rutted road, thick with slick mud. Tossed to and fro, we descended the steep hill. I feared we would slide into a deep ravine on our left, but my husband drove us safely to the bottom as Uncle Hobert, sitting between us, slumped in his seat. Unable to navigate the incline, the ambulance driver had agreed to meet us on level land at the foot of the hill.
Seeing the ambulance outline, barely visible in the heavy gray rain, I was relieved. Everything would be all right. A few minutes later, the EMTs loaded my frail uncle into the ambulance and raised the head of the gurney so he could see us as we followed.
Just before Uncle Hobert was lifted out of our vehicle, he looked up the hill toward his home of many years. Then, he wept unashamedly. I was still teaching at a local college, so I understood little of what it meant to leave one's home for the last time. On that dismal afternoon, my uncle knew he would never again see his modest stucco house, his wind-whipped hill, his swaying pine trees and his daffodils, whose bulbs once again lay dormant in the cold ground. That day ended one phase of his life and launched the final chapter. I could not then understand how his heart ached, for young people have no idea what old age is like. They must wait until they arrive there.
Time passed and Uncle Hobert lingered on the exit ramp of life in a nursing home. My husband and I visited him on weekends. The director of his final home on earth was a woman who mothered the residents. Most staff members were local workers from Ripley or adjacent rural areas. There was little employee turnover, and I knew Uncle Hobert's caregivers were kind to him. Bill and I lived in Nitro at the time, which was too far away for us to visit often. I had my uncle moved to another facility closer to our home. He hated it and asked to return Eldercare in Ripley. I immediately set about to have him transferred, and when he was wheeled into the Eldercare lobby, the administrator met him at the door, kissed him on the forehead, and told him his same room was waiting for him. I think she knew he would return. My uncle had a roommate, Mr. Waybright, as I recall. He helped the staff fold towels. Unlike Uncle Hobert, he was able to walk the halls. My uncle eventually believed Mr. Waybright was his father, my Grandfather Frame, who had been dead for many years. The more my uncle lost weight and the more emaciated he looked, the more my mother and I worried. As we fretted, my uncle seemed to be happy. Mother Nature had worked her magic. She had transported him on wings of mercy all the way back to his lime-green days of youth.
One afternoon, I asked him if he missed his stucco home on his windswept hill. Smiling, he said, "No, that's a good place if you have someone with you, but it's no place to be if you're all alone." A nursing home is usually a place of last resort, but for my uncle, it provided contentment. He was never all alone again.
When he still lived on this land, I visited him. A college student then, I sometimes sat in a lawn chair and wrote in a journal, to fulfill a class assignment. One sunny morning, I wrote about Virginia Woolf's ability to view life from afar, where she could view the miniature fast-moving cycles of life that we miss as we get bogged down in everyday details. My Uncle Hobert said, "Dolly, one day, you will live on this land, and this will be a good place for you to write." It is.

How often are you late to work? Make sure it isn't too often. A new survey shows one in three bosses have fired an employee for chronic lateness.
According to Career Builder, a quarter of employees admitted to being late at least once a month. 15 – percent said they are late at least once a week.
Traffic is the most common excuse, followed by lack of sleep, problems with public transportation, bad weather and dropping off the kids at daycare or school.
But companies shared some real gems like: "My cat got stuck in the toilet," and, "I woke up on the front lawn of a house two blocks away from my home." Oh, that'll score you integrity points with your boss!

Warner Bros. seems very aware of this face since they keep on attaching their best and brightest filmmakers to the project ... but everyone keeps dropping out.
