Communicators Club
The Public Relations Council of India (PRCI) has formed its youth wing called Young Communicators Club (YCC) exclusively focused on journalism and mass communication, PR and business management students from colleges and universities across India. YCC will be entirely run by the students, according to a release. The maiden chapter has started in Bangalore and will be rolled out across the country soon, the release added. The Bangalore chapter has begun with about 800 members from 20 colleges. Students from across Karnataka will be enrolled subsequently.
A Bangalore student, Raghavendra Selvan, is one of the three winners of the nationwide online competition, Challenge Yourself India 2013, for full scholarship to study a masters programme at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. The prize ceremony was held in Fava Restaurant in UB City. Raghavendra will study Communications Engineering. The competition attracted over 5,000 participants from all over India out of which 1,578 completed all the four parts in the challenge. The competition was funded and organised jointly by Swedish Institute, a public agency, and three Swedish universities.
The competition was created, marketed and run by Student Competitions, a Swedish company founded in 2010 by students. Nine finalists were invited to participate in a full-day event that included a guided tour of the Swedish company Volvo's bus and truck factories outside Bangalore.
The scholarship includes tuition fee, living expenses, health insurance and a travel grant. The total value of the scholarship is nearly Rs. 36 lakh. The two other students to win full scholarships were Rudra Pratap Singh from Guwahati who will study a two-year masters programme in wireless communication at Lund University and Sowmya Krishnaraj from Chennai, who will study a two-year masters programme in statistics and data mining at Linköping University.
Ranji Jacob, the Principal of Bishop Cotton Academy of Professional Management, Bangalore, has been honoured with the "Vidya Ratan Award 2012" for excellence in the field of education and administration by the Economic for Health and Educational Growth, New Delhi, on the occasion of the 36th national seminar held last month.
The Karnataka Minority Development Corporation (KMDC) has announced pre-matric and matric scholarship for students of the Jain community who are economically weaker, to pursue their education. The Director of KMDC, Kavita Jain, said the scholarship will come into effect from the academic year 2012-13.
For details, contact 98448 53771 or 90369 95931.
MoU signed
Narsee Monjee Institute of Management Studies (Deemed-to-be University) has signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) with CETYS University, Mexico.
Says Rajan Saxena, Vice-Chancellor, NMIMS University, "Technology and distant education go hand in hand. It ensures that learning is not restricted by geographies. The idea is to develop virtual technological innovations to educate and give value addition to education." Both universities work on similar technology, i.e., blackboard technology which ensures that the convergence is easy. It reduces the burden of getting faculty to the region and also helps in offering an international reach.
The highlights of the association are: preparation of faculty at doctorate levels and engineering courses, with CETYS University using the NMIMS's expertise to pursue doctoral programmes; enriching the curriculum of both universities in programmes that need to be constantly researched and environment case studies; and a student exchange programme for MBA students. Short-term sessions of the programme will begin in March 2013.
Groups of students who are found suitable for the programme will get to participate in a 2-3 week session in engineering and management practices.

An Uphill Climb
"We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go," says Hobbs. Having spent 25 years of her career working to further the sport, her passion for mountain running is undeniable. "We're slowly making our way up the mountain, but we're no where near the summit," she laughs.
Both Erholtz and Gates think that the overall times may drive away many road and track runners from trying mountain running. A 7:50-per mile pace sounds slow until they get on the trail and start climbing. "I think there are a lot of people out there that don't even know they would be good mountain runners because they haven't had the opportunity to run on a mountain course," says Erholtz. Some even discover they are better at climbs than flats, like Erholtz did.
"Sometimes the road racers come out and get beat really bad," says Gates, "I always hope they give it a second shot. It's more a matter of training than anything else."
Despite their varied running backgrounds, one thing the mountain runners share is a mutual love for the mountains. "We get to run in some amazingly beautiful places; that's half the joy," says Erholtz. Gates agrees, saying, "I love being in the mountains. I'd be doing this stuff whether there were races or not."
Gnarly terrain, steep and technical downhills and lung-busting altitude gains breed fearlessness within the mountain runners. Donning bona fide USA singlets for this year's world championships, Erholtz, Gates and the rest of the stateside squad hope to continue their uphill climb to bring their sport into the mainstream.
Senior Men:
Eric Blake, Joe Gray, Rickey Gates, Max King, Tommy Manning, Chris Lundstrom
Senior Women:
Kristin Price, Brandy Erholtz, Nicole Hunt, Megan Lund
Junior Men:
Cody Wells, Chase Caulkins, Chris York, Paul Petersen

I like this word re-imagination from Mary Meeker's Internet Trends presentation. We are seeing so many aspects of our life being transformed by the internet.
Take for example, ordering a cab to go somewhere. Either we phone for a yellow cab here in California or if you are in New York city, then you stand and wave for an incoming yellow cab to stop. The new game-changer is Uber. All you do is touch your smartphone screen for UberX or Black car and you get an instant message about the car coming in less than 5 minutes time with the driver and car info. It is cheaper and you pay by card (pre-registered in your Uber account). This is re-imagining the transport sector. Uber, a San Francisco company is worth about $17B and is operating in 70 cities around the world. Quite a disruptive force!
The following list shows several new alternatives using the internet technology that impacts varieties of activities:
- Grocery shopping – Amazon Fresh or Instacart
- Yellow Pages – Yelp
- Booking hotel – Airbnb
- Driving in traffic – Waze
- Satellite radio – Spotify
- TV Remote control – Amazon Fire TV
- Meeting new people – Tinder
- New money – Bitcoin
- Smart TV adopters – Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Roku
- Mojo Update (uploadable, sharable, findable)
- Pinterest for common interests, Eventbrite for tickets, Fitbit/MyFitness Pal – measuring steps/distance/calories, WhatsApp (instant messages, photos, videos),….
This list goes on and we find a new single-purpose application appearing almost every day. Gone are the days of multi-purpose web applications! In the area of data mining and analytics, we find new companies like Dropcam for home monitoring (just acquired by the Nest division of Google), Jawbone health wearable device, Netflix for media personalization and discovery, AppDynamics for application performance monitoring, SnapLogic for cloud integration, and Ayasdi for automated insight discovery.
No wonder that our kids are growing up with such different habits than the old times – no physical newspaper reading, no TV watching at specific show times (Youtube is good enough), or no sending emails in the old fashioned way (all short messages and Twitter and Facebook for broadcast). Even physical book reading is declining, with eBook readers all around.
Last month my two sons gave me two gifts on Fathers day – Apple TV and Google Chromecast. Now I see the benefit of not using cable. I also love using Uber during my trips. My Fitbit keeps me alert on meeting my daily walking goals.
This follows the dictum – Old order changeth yielding place to new.
Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

Americans Abroad Review: Agudelo debuts, Onyewu scores, Shea loan extended, Yank on trial with Bob Bradley
Jan 28, 2014, 2:09 PM EST
The Premier League was off, but the FA Cup was on and Germany returned to action as the number of Americans in action overseas was high and mighty.
Juan Agudelo made his FC Utrecht bow as a 58th minute substitution but was not able to help his new club avoid a shock defeat to No. 15 in the table Roda JC Kerkrade. He was the only sub made by his side in the match, and registered one shot over his 32-plus minutes. And as the on-loan from Stoke kid made his European debut, another Potter was introduced by the Philadelphia Union in Maurice Edu.
PSV Eindhoven was able to do what plenty of Eredivisie sides have not: stop Aron Johannsson. He was held scoreless for the first time in a few matches as PSV jumped to No. 6 in the table and banished Johannsson's AZ Alkmaar side to No. 8 with a 1-0 decision.
In FA Cup fourth round action:
- Everton gave Tim Howard a rare day-off as the Toffees squeezed Stevenage for an easy 4-0 win. Everton hosts Swansea in the next round.
- Jozy Altidore played all 90 minutes as Sunderland needed everything it had to hold off lower league side Kidderminster in a 1-0 decision. Manager Gus Poyet said, "It was not a classic" and that "it became boring and difficult to watch." The Black Cats will host Southampton in the next round.
- Clint Dempsey wasn't in the Match Day 18 for Fulham's 1-1 draw with Sheffield United, as he was saved for the midweek PL relegation scrap at Swansea. The two sides with dance again on Feb. 4, with the winners getting the victor of a Nottingham Forest/Preston North End replay.
- Gooch with the goal! Oguchi Onyewu netted the game-winner as Sheffield Wednesday toppled Rochdale 2-0 to earn a fortunate fifth round date with Charlton Athletic.
- Duane Holmes (Huddersfield Town), Tim Ream (Bolton) and Will Packwood (Birmingham City) all saw their sides crash out to stiff, higher competition.
In France, Ale Bedoya and Nantes rebounded from their 5-0 squashing at the hands of PSG two weeks ago to draw Stade Reims. The home stalemate kept the Canaries ahead of their opponents, and Bedoya played 76 minutes, credited with one of his side's best chances when he was denied in the 66th minute.
Timothy Chandler fired home as FC Nurnberg toasted Fabian Johnson's Hoffenheim squad by a 4-0 score. MLSSoccer.com described the goal:
Midway through the opening frame, the FCN right back picked the top corner from about 24 yards for his first tally since September of 2012. Soon after, Chandler went close with a lefty try from distance. Johnson, just back from injury, was replaced as Hoffenheim left back at halftime.
The injury to Johnson is not a kind one: his broken hand could cause him problems for both club and country.
There was no Jermaine Jones for Schalke again in their 3-0 win over Hamburger SV.
In Mexico, Puebla blew a 2-0 lead and fell 3-2, with 90 minutes each for DaMarcus Beasley and Jonathan Orozco. Edgar Castillo played the full match as Club Tijuana won yet again at home, 1-0 over Morelia.
Sacha Kljestan did not play as Anderlecht won a huge Belgian battle against Club Brugge, 2-0.
An effective Brek Shea has extended his loan deal with Barnsley through April.
Former LA Galaxy midfielder Michael Stephens is on trial for Bob Bradley at Stabaek in Norway.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Idle No More protest draws hundreds of participants
Hundreds of protesters with the Idle No More movement took to the intersections of Portage and Main Monday afternoon with a rallying cry.
Participants began to gather at the centre of Portage Avenue and Main Street at approximately 3 p.m. for a traditional round dance. Many carried signs and drums, and some wore traditional First Nations dress.
Police blocked off all intersections near the event beginning at around 2:45.
Rhonda Head, one of the organizers of the event, said they chose the famous intersection as they felt it would have a more significant impact.
"What better place to make a big statement than a busy intersection in Winnipeg and get the word out?" she said.
Head had previously organized an Idle No More demonstration in The Pas, and said she wanted to help keep the momentum of Idle No More movement going in Manitoba.
"This movement's not going anywhere. It's going to continue to grow. It's just an amazing time right now," she said.
"I believe we're creating history, because I don't think there's been anything like this before."
Jasmine Parisiam, a 19-year-old of Sagkeeng and Peguis First Nations, said she wanted to speak out against racism directed at First Nations people.
"For me, it's something that's been going on my whole life. Throughout high school, throughout childhood I've been affected by racism," Parisiam said.
"In high school, when we'd get taught about residential schools, I'd get: 'Oh look, there you are on TV, There's your family'."
Local community activist Louise May said she found it remarkable how social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook have mobilized Idle No More demonstrators in massive numbers.
"It sure makes it easier than in the olden days, I can tell you. It's great to be able to get the word out fast and get feedback right away," she said.
"The momentum is huge, because there have been how many other rallies in a short period of time? Some people have been coming out to all of them, so it's obvious that people really want to gather."
The demonstration lasted just under half an hour, after which marchers made their way down Main Street to Thunderbird House for food and a series of speakers.
At Thunderbird House, Robert Animikii Horton, an activist and writer from Rainy River First Nations of Manitou Rapids, spoke to about 30 to 40 attendees about the international attention the Idle No More has generated. He pointed to recent protests in Egypt, London and across the United States held in solidarity with the movement.
"The world is watching Canada right now," he said.
Winnipeg's Idle No More supporters are advocating for First Nations treaty rights and protesting Bill C-45. Rallies have been held across Canada over the last several weeks, including an Idle No More protest blocking part of the Trans-Canada Highway west of Winnipeg at Hwy. 16, earlier this month.
Participants in the Idle No More protest on December 31, 2012 closed the intersection at Portage Avenue and Main Street before moving on to Thunderbird House.

As information for Villages residents, we would like to inform you The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has implemented a new type of traffic signal at certain locations throughout the state and at some intersections adjacent to The Villages. The signals now include a flashing yellow arrow. It is a new type of signal which is placed over a left turn lane at a signalized intersection where one of the signal indications is a flashing yellow arrow. They are the result of a national study conducted by the Federal Highway Administration, which demonstrated many benefits. To learn more about this new signal and view a video, please click here.
Evaporation loss can be 60 percent or higher during the day, so watering must be done during your scheduled irrigation time which will be before 10am or after 4pm on your scheduled day. Irrigation schedules vary by district and are listed at www.thevillageswaterwisdom.com.
It is important to remember not to irrigate just because it is your scheduled day. Irrigation systems should only be operated when the lawn begins to show signs of stress. This will encourage deeper root growth, which will help to develop more drought tolerant lawns and landscaping. It will also save water, which protects our water resources and provides savings on water bills. Signs of stress include:
• lingering footprints or mower tracks • grass blades or leaf blades beginning to close lengthwise • the top few inches of soil feeling dry
Lawns will generally need water before landscape plants (excluding flowers). Therefore if the lawn is being irrigated when it shows signs of stress, the landscape plants will be adequately irrigated.
Flower beds should be hand watered with a hose using an automatic shut off nozzle. Also, if the lawn has dry spots, use a hose with an automatic shutoff nozzle to apply water where it's needed, instead of watering the entire lawn.
For information related to the current water restrictions and irrigation schedules, please visit www.thevillageswaterwisdom.com
At the February 12th meeting, the Amenity Authority Committee directed staff, as result of the purchase of 2375 Enrique Drive (formerly El Santiago Club Restaurant) and the overall Capital Improvement Plan, to move forward working with KP Studio Architects and bring the conceptual design plan back to the AAC for review and resident comment.
Please stay tuned to the District Website, www.Districtgov.org for future updates on this project.
Effective July 1, 2013, The Florida Legislature amended FS 319.14 to allow the conversion of a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) to a golf cart. For additional information on the process of converting a LSV to a golf cart, please click on the header of this announcement.
The Sumter County Board of County Commissioners in cooperation with the Sumter County Sheriff's Office has developed an educational guide to navigating roundabouts in Sumter County.

105 tunnels--and one breathtaking pass
Today was a lot of bus time, as we left the heat behind in Italy and headed into Switzerland. There were over 50 tunnels just in the first 90 minutes of the trip, many short and straight, but some curving, and a few that lasted a minute and 20 seconds. (I'm just enough claustrophobic to count!) We passed Lake Como, where George Clooney reportedly …
Going to Jungfraujoch
Well today is the big trek to Jungfraujoch which is the highest rail station in the mountains of Europe. On a clear day you can apparently see France and Germany from the height but alas, we woke this morning to an overcast and rainy day.
The receptionist said, oh no, you don't want to go today but we don't have a choice as its planned …
Wildflowers and walks
Today is our last full day in Switzerland. We decided to go for a hike along the trail at the top of the cliff (attached to a mountain of course) next to where we are staying in Stechelberg. This stretches between the towns of Gruschalp and Murren. Stechelberg is at an elevation of about 800 m and where we were going on our hike is at an elevation of about 1600 m. We walked into ...

The houses are all kept in Heidi style, with brown roofs, shuttered windows, with flower boxes, etc. Dinner in town was at more of a "locals" restaurant again. We prefer to find places that are off the main drag whenever possible, and most times we get pretty good food. Tonight was one of those nights too so it was the end of a good ...
Interlaken Fail
... She was so sweet! She gave us each a toblerone candy bar and bought us some coffee. We walked around the town, hung out at her work drinking some beer, and then went and got food at a local pub. Mmmmm! It was so nice just to spend time with someone we knew... someone we had stories with (btw, Nicole is an Aussie chef we met on our Ireland tour).
Yup, that was Interlaken. Switzerland was expensive. Yeah. That made us love Germany all the more.

The Royals announced that Lamb, one of the organization's top left-handed prospects, will have ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction, or "Tommy John" surgery, on his left elbow tomorrow. The surgery will be performed by Dr. Lewis Yocum in Los Angeles.
Lamb, 20, entered the season ranked by MLB.com as the No. 34 prospect in baseball. He has not pitched since May 19, when he left his start with elbow soreness after throwing eight pitches. The Royals placed him on Double-A Northwest Arkansas' disabled list the following day.
The Laguna Hills, Calif., native made eight starts for the Naturals in 2011, going 1-2 with a 3.09 ERA in 35 innings. He was 10-7 with a 2.38 ERA and 159 strikeouts in 147 2/3 innings last year for three teams en route to being named the 2010 Paul Splittorff Award winner as the organization's top pitcher.
He throws a fastball, curve and change and has generally been known for outstanding command. He'd gone six innings in each of his three previous starts before leaving early against Tulsa -- his best effort came May 14 when he held Springfield to one run on a pair of hits over six frames for his only win.
Lamb was selected by the Royals in the fifth round of the 2008 Draft out of Laguna Hills High School. The 6-foot-4 lefty attended his first Major League Spring Training with the Royals this spring, throwing one scoreless inning and striking out three in one relief appearance.

"Loved how my Save the Dates came out! I did have to change the font because our names were hard to read, but it turned out great!"
"My cards came very fast! I was so suprised at how professional their delivery was. It came in a big box all my cards were perfect and that goes for My envelopes too. Everyone that had received them has called me saying how much they loved our save the dates and raved about the quality of the card. We are deffinetly using wedding paper divas for programs and our invitations!"
"Absolutely love our save the date cards! The quality is better than I expected and for the price you'd never know they weren't insanely expensive. Have been very happy with the cards and have received many compliments from guests! Cannot wait to order the matching invitations in a month or two. Customer service has also been wonderful to work with, was short a few envelopes and they got them out to me extremely fast. Love love love our save the date cards!!"
"My friend highly recommended Wedding Paper Divas in general and after seeing her magnet save the date, I had to give it a try! The pricing and quality is great! I love that the magnets have a matte finish instead of a cheaper glossy looking finish. They look great and have the rounded edges which give it something extra. Also, the customer service was amazing and I didn't have a single issue. The design we fell in love with only came in gold and silver, when we needed a plum purple. So we asked them via the note system if they could adjust the text and the top left banner design to plum purple to match our wedding colors. They ended up matching the tone of purple to the dress I was wearing in our chosen photos! Their attention to detail is great and we are planning on using them now for our invitations, menu cards, and table numbers!"
"The order turned out beautifully! Designers showed us 2 alternatives to our requests in order to get everything perfect. Once purchased, the cards arrived in less than a week! Overall, amazing experience."
