Today saw the publication of The Complete University Guide 2015, signalling the start of the UK university ranking season.
Comparing against the 2014 university league tables — especially last year's Guide — there has been some movement, with two new entrants in the top 10 UK institutions for Computer Science:
|University of Cambridge
|Imperial College London
|University of Oxford
|University of St Andrews
|Durham University
|University College London
|University of Birmingham
|University of Bristol
|University of Exeter
|University of Glasgow
|(full table)
As always, the rankings for Welsh institutions in Computer Science were of particular interest to me; Cardiff University retained the top spot, with a broadly similar performance to last year (albeit with some movement down the table for the top three):
|Cardiff University
|Swansea University
|Aberystwyth University
|Glyndŵr University
|University of South Wales
|Bangor University
|Cardiff Metropolitan University
N.B. no data was available for the University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
The Complete University Guide's methodology for the subject league tables are based on four measures: Student Satisfaction, Research Assessment, Entry Standards and Graduate Prospects. To qualify for inclusion in a subject table, a university has to have data for at least two of the four measures; a blank in the Entry Standards and Graduate Prospects columns is not a zero score but rather denotes that no valid data were available.

The seeds for the Relics of Technology project started when I found a brick cell phone at a thrift store in rural Oregon. Since finding it, similar bits and pieces of old technology and media kept grabbing my attention. The fascination was equal parts nostalgia for the forms, and curiosity as to what had become of them. One thing led to another and I was on the hunt for groups of media and key pieces of technology, most of which have now been downsized to fit in the palm of our hand. These photos are reminders that progress has a price and our efforts have an expiration date.

A new independent report for the Campaign for Science & Engineering (CaSE) published today shows that investing public money in science and engineering is good for the economy. The Economic Significance of the UK Science Base examines the economic impact of public investment in the UK science base.
The report looks in detail at the relationship between public funding of science and engineering and three levels of economic activity: total factor productivity growth in industries; ability of universities to attract external income; and interaction between individual researchers and the wider economy.
The report shows that, at the level of industries, universities and individual researchers, public investment in science and engineering leads to economic growth. CaSE is thus calling for current and future governments to recognise that public spending on science and engineering is an investment with significant benefits for the economy and society.
The report was written by Professor Jonathan Haskel (Imperial College Business School), Professor Alan Hughes and Dr Elif Bascavusoglu-Moreau (both University of Cambridge). It was funded by a consortium of six CaSE members: British Pharmacological Society, The Geological Society, The Institution of Engineering and Technology, Institute of Physics, Royal Society of Chemistry and Society of Biology.

In April 1971, Private Eye carried the story of how James Arkell, a retail credit manager, had dispensed with the services of two bailiffs who were on bail on charges of conspiracy to create a public mischief — despite the fact that he had for the previous year been in receipt of a monthly kickback from their company for putting debt-collecting work their way. It was not an especially spectacular story, but the subsequent letter from Mr Arkell's solicitors Goodman Derrick and the Eye's response set an important "legal" precedent which is often cited as Arkell v Pressdram:
Dear Sir,
We act for Mr Arkell who is Retail Credit Manager of Granada TV Rental Ltd. His attention has been drawn to an article appearing in the issues of Private Eye dated 9th April 1971 on page 4. The statements made about Mr Arkell are entirely untrue and clearly highly defamatory. We are therefore instructed to require from you immediately your proposals for dealing with the matter.
Mr Arkell's first concern is that there should be a full retraction at the earliest possible date in Private Eye and he will also want his costs paid. His attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of your reply.
Yours etc.
The Eye's response:
Dear Sirs,
We acknowledge your letter of 29th April referring to Mr J. Arkell.
We note that Mr Arkell's attitude to damages will be governed by the nature of our reply and would therefore be grateful if you could inform us what his attitude to damages would be, were he to learn that the nature of our reply is as follows: fuck off.
Yours etc.
Never one to miss an opportunity, Private Eye immediately published the exchange, with the case soon falling apart and Arkell withdrew his complaint ("Mr Arkell has now, albeit belatedly, complied with the suggestion made to him at an earlier stage of the proceedings."). The magazine has since used the dispute as shorthand when responding to threats e.g. "We refer you to the reply given in the case of Arkell v Pressdram".
N.B. Pressdram Ltd is Private Eye's publisher. Also, there was no legal "case", despite the name by which the dispute is now known.

The future of cloud computing is the availability of more computing power at a much lower cost; Moore's law thus gives way to Bezos' law:
Over the history of cloud, a unit of computing power price is reduced by 50% approximately every three years.
The cost of cloud computing should naturally track Moore's law (as the cost of computing is related to the cost of hardware); however, the cost of utilities such as electricity clearly do not follow the same demand curve. Nevertheless, with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure increasingly competitive on pricing, cloud, as opposed to building or maintaining a data centre, would appear to be a much better economic delivery approach for many companies.

Today, the 2013 ACM Software System Award has been awarded to Bruno Barras, Yves Bertot, Pierre Castéran, Thierry Coquand, Jean-Christophe Filliâtre, Hugo Herbelin, Gerard P. Huet, Chetan Murthy and Christine Paulin-Mohring:
For the Coq Proof Assistant System that provides interactive software for the development of formal proofs, using a powerful logic known as the Calculus of Inductive Constructions.
The Coq Proof Assistant System (full award citation), which has been under continuous development for nearly 30 years, is a formal proof management system that supports a rich higher-order logic with powerful inductive definitions. The programming language incorporates a rich dependent type system, applicable to a range of needs from compilers to models of foundational mathematics. Because it can be used to state mathematical theorems and software specifications alike, Coq is a key enabling technology for certified software and has played an influential role in several disciplines including formal methods, programming languages, program verification and formal mathematics. The system is open source, is supported by a substantial and useful library, and has attracted a large and active user community. Since the project started, more than 40 people have contributed various theoretical, implementational and pedagogical works leading to the Coq system as it is now (see Who did What in Coq?).
Some of the significant results that have been accomplished using Coq are: proofs for the four colour theorem, the development of CompCert (a fully verified compiler for C), the development of RockSalt (software-based fault isolation, as used in Google's Native Client), and most recent, the fully specified and verified hypervisor OS kernel CertiKOS.

Today, the Department for Education published guidance for schools on GCE AS/A Level subject content, setting out the knowledge, understanding and skills common to all AS and A level specifications for teaching from 2015. This was in response to the consultation on A Level reform that concluded in December 2013, with a series of changes in the coming years, notably linear A Levels and standalone AS qualifications in certain subjects, including computer science.
Having been involved in this process over the past year, it is great to see these changes to the A Level computer science specification; in particular, the following aspirational aims and objectives:
AS and A Level specifications in computer science must encourage students to develop:
- an understanding of, and the ability to apply, the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science, including abstraction, decomposition, logic, algorithms and data representation;
- the ability to analyse problems in computational terms through practical experience of solving such problems, including writing programs to do so;
- the capacity for thinking creatively, innovatively, analytically, logically and critically;
- the capacity to see relationships between different aspects of computer science;
- mathematical skills;
- the ability to articulate the individual (moral), social (ethical), legal and cultural opportunities and risks of digital technology.
Note, it clearly expresses the importance of mathematics ("Computer science uses mathematics to express its computational laws and processes"): any accredited specification in computer science must contain a minimum of 10% mathematics. It will be interesting to see the offerings from the different awarding bodies as they appear in the autumn; check out the full computer science subject content specification.
Much of this new specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills
established at Key Stage 4 in the exciting new computing programme of study starting in England from September 2014 (purpose of study: "A high-quality computing education equips pupils to use computational thinking and creativity to understand and change the world."). It remains to be seen how this will stimulate reform in Wales after an underwhelming response from the Welsh Government to last September's review of the ICT curriculum (blog post to follow shortly).
US telecoms research firm TeleGeography has published its annual Submarine Cable Map, giving an excellent overview of international connectivity. Over 99% of international communications are delivered by undersea cables; while satellites are used for broadcasting, and are useful for rural communities and very remote places, satellite capacity is limited and expensive.
As you can see below, there is significant connectivity between the major hubs of the world, for both resilience and performance: different paths are used to avoid undersea fault zones, to land in different countries and to avoid certain countries. We have wired the ends of the Earth, almost; what's left are generally remote island communities. In Europe, the US and Asia, people don't have to think about what happens if the Internet goes down and they can't send an important email.
Undersea cables are actually more vulnerable than you might think; during the 2011 tsunami in Japan about half of their cables had outages, but the operators were able to reroute capacity to other routes. Last spring, there was damage in Mediterranean cables that linked East Africa to Europe, but it has been many years since there was a complete blackout.
Looking at previous versions of the map (see 2013 and 2012), you can see the developments: in the past year, numerous cables were built to the east coast of Africa, where it was previously all satellite; a new cable linking the US with Mexico and other Latin American countries should be ready this year; another connecting India and Malaysia; with one recently announced connecting the UK and Japan set for the first quarter of 2016.
From a UK backbone perspective, take a look at JANET (which celebrates its 30th birthday today!) and the JANET6 network infrastructure, as well as how it connects into GÉANT, the pan-European research and education network.
The National Assembly for Wales' Enterprise and Business Committee is undertaking a follow-up Inquiry into STEM skills, after the publication of a report on the STEM agenda in Wales in January 2011. The terms of reference for this consultation are as follows:
See the full consultation; the Committee welcomes responses from both individuals and organisations, with a deadline of Friday 25 April 2014.
Today, the 2013 ACM Turing Award has been awarded to Leslie Lamport, Principal Researcher at Microsoft Research:
For fundamental contributions to the theory and practice of distributed and concurrent systems, notably the invention of concepts such as causality and logical clocks, safety and liveness, replicated state machines, and sequential consistency.
Lamport has not only advanced the reliability and consistency of computing systems that work as intended (for example, temporal logic of actions (TLA) and Byzantine fault tolerance), but also created LaTeX!

On Thursday 20th March I will be giving the 2014 IET South Wales Annual Lecture at Swansea University:
Computing: Enabling a Digital Wales
Digital technology (and thus computation) is an indispensable and crucial component of our lives, society and environment. In a world increasingly dominated by technology, we now need to be more than just digitally literate. Across science and engineering, computing has moved on from assisting researchers in doing science, to transforming both how science is done and what science is done. In the context of (Welsh and UK) Government science, technology and innovation policy, computer scientists (of all flavours) have a significant role to play. Tom will ground this hypothesis by describing his research interests at the hardware/software interface, his broader work in education and science policy, and then finishing by presenting a vision for a "Digital Wales" underpinned by science and technology innovation.

State of Play is one of those series where a moment's brilliance is rivaled by the very next scene, a careening thriller that gives credence to the idea that there may not be any better format for telling an impact story than over the course of four or six hours. [16 Apr 2004, p.E1]

On "State of Play" and Prime Suspect, ordinary men and women take center stage and hold it beautifully. [16 Apr 2004, p.E1]
A continually surprising thriller that maintains an air of imminent danger through its five or so hours (in six episodes), State of Play is a grander, more romantic creation [than Prime Suspect 6].

|The Inner-workings of Scout's Rankings
You see the star ratings, the rankings and words like "upside," or "soft verbal", but do you really know what they mean? Scott Kennedy, Director of Scouting at Scout.com, took some time out of his busy day to explain the nuances of scouting and the terminology used by Scout.com's experts.
Understanding Scout.com's Top 300 is really not that difficult. A five-star rating is awarded to the top 50 prospects. A four-star rating is awarded to a prospect that is considered one of the next 250 best players, ranked No. 51 to 300.
Simple. To the point. No interpretation necessary.
Is there a difference between a four-star and a five-star player? It depends on where he is ranked. There's not a lot of difference between a prospect ranked No. 48 and a prospect ranked No. 51—except that No. 48 is a five-star and No. 51 is a four-star. So realistically, a four-star and a five-star player can be almost identical in terms of ability and talent, yet be separated by one little star.
"We set up our star system almost like the NFL Draft board might do," Scott Kennedy explained. "Football is a physical game. If you've got a guy who is bigger, faster and stronger—and plays harder than everybody else—you're going to have a great football player."
"A star rating is not an evaluation," Kennedy continued. "Until we have a secondary grading system, the only way we can tell you what a five-star player is, 'he's a top 50 player.' That's what a five-star player is. There's no ambiguity behind it."
Kennedy said there are some expectations that come with a five-star rating." He should be an All-American or first or second round NFL Draft pick," he said. "Four stars, I expect to get drafted or be an All-Conference guy. Three stars I expect to be a plus starter on his team. Two stars I expect to be a contributor."
According to Kennedy, the toughest position to evaluate is an offensive lineman, "and it's not close," he added. "Big guys develop more slowly. Skill players are born, linemen are built. While we are ranking them, they are the farthest from being finished products, which makes them the hardest to project."
Prospects are constantly being evaluated, but the evaluations don't always take place just on the field. Kennedy relayed how he was on an airplane and spotted another prospect on the flight as well. "I watched him…how he treated the flight attendants—that can tell you a little something about what kind of character he has."
Kennedy debunked a myth about ranking fluctuations as well.
Sometimes, a prospect appears to have been downgraded when in reality, he hasn't. As more and more prospects are evaluated and ranked, the entire pool of talent gets bigger. If a prospect is initially ranked No. 50 out of 200 total prospects early on, but gets ranked 100th out of 500 total prospects later, technically he jumped from the top 25 percent of players in the country to the top 20 percent of players in the country, despite dropping from his initial ranking of No. 50 to No. 100. This ill-perceived downgrade can upset fans and the prospect.
"A lot of the parents blame us for their kids not getting scholarship offers, saying if we'd rank them higher, they would get more offers," Kennedy said. "Colleges are doing their own work. If they've seen you and haven't offered, that's up to them, not us."
"The hardest part is the parents who are good-intentioned and believe what they're being told during the recruiting process, by the coaches. When that doesn't match up with what they then see from someone who doesn't care— or isn't trying to recruit a player—it causes friction."
Friction aside, the player can minimize all the hoopla and distractions that have become synonymous with recruiting.
"A player controls his own level of recruitment," Kennedy said. "If he doesn't want to be recruited, he commits to a school."
Even then, a commitment to a school isn't always a lock, but interestingly, a "soft verbal" doesn't necessarily mean a prospect is wavering in his decision.
"I hate the term 'soft verbal' and if I had enough guts I would wipe it off the map completely," Kennedy laughed. "A 'soft verbal' to us means that a prospect is committed to one school, but schedules an official visit to another [school."
Kennedy also said that what you read on a prospect is based on information given to Scout. "Once you become a purveyor of information, the information comes to you," he explained. "The high school coaches are the absolute life-blood of our business. A high school coach in a relationship with us will last 15 or 20 years, but a player is a one-year [relationship] for us, for the most part."
So how accurate is some of the information given to Scout by coaches? Well, height, weight and speed are usually exaggerated.
"I would shave an inch off and ten pounds off every one of them, minimum," Kennedy said adamantly. "That's a minimum baseline, depending on a position."
"Let's not even get into the 40's [40-yard dash]—everybody runs a 4.4," he laughed.
Kennedy gladly admitted that Scout uses positive terminology in evaluating areas of improvement. When a prospect is described as having great "upside", what that really means is that "he's got great physical abiIity," Kennedy explained. "If the light ever comes on for a guy with this much physical talent, he's going to be really good. He's farther ahead physically, but behind in production."
"We're the good news business," Kennedy explained. "People don't always agree with our opinions, but we like to be in the good news business."

Would you be willing to answer a few brief questions about PlayStation Forums?
I just got this game a few days ago and I love it, there's just one little problem: I AM A LEFTY The boy wizard holds the wand in his right hand and I did not see any option to switch hands. I end up casting most of the spells backwards or missing my intended targets. Does anyone know if they will release a patch to fix this glaringly obvious mistake? Other then that, I love this game.
I don't understand exactly what you find cool/funny about badpuppy2982's
I too I'm a lefty but Never had a problem with normal game-pad controllers of any kind, i.e. I've never had to set up the controls for a lefty/southpaw. I just bought this game off PSN, started playing, and the only problem I have (so far anyway) with the wand/move-controller is when trying to cast a spell, curving to the Left i.e. it's very hard to get it to curve! I have little to no problem curving to the right though!
Anyway I'll just keep playing and see if the $5 was well spent, (for me anyway)!

Beverly Hills CA Doc. Who Treated 'Octomom' Under Fire by State Medical Board
07/15/2010 // West Palm Beach, FL, USA // Sandra Quinlan // Sandra Quinlan
Beverly Hills, CA—The Medical Board of California accused the fertility doctor who treated "Octomom" Nadya Suleman of medical malpractice, citing two additional cases in which there were apparent deviations from the standard of care. The Medical Board filed a 20-page amended accusation on June 30, 2010, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Dr. Michael Kamrava, the fertility doctor notorious for treating Nadya Suleman, is no stranger to scrutiny. Kamrava stepped into the limelight when the Medical Board accused him of a "pattern of gross negligence" with regard to the births of Suleman's 14 children.
Dubbed "Octomom," Suleman birthed the world longest-surviving octuplets. All of her children were born through the use of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Also, according to information provided by the New York Daily News, Suleman was supporting her kids with food stamps and Social Security disability payments, given that three of her children were born with disabilities.
Now six months after the Board slammed Dr. Kamrava for treating Suleman, the doctor faces a slew of new allegations. In one particular case, Kamrava implanted seven embryos into a 48-year-old woman referred to as L.C. The Board contends the procedure put the woman, who became pregnant with quadruplets, at risk of severe complications.
The medical malpractice complaint alleged, "He placed L.C. at great risk… which was confirmed by a quadruplet pregnancy that ended with catastrophic results." L.C. reportedly lost one fetus while pregnant and delivered three others via cesarean section. Also, the one of her children was born with "profound developmental delays".
The complaint also charges Kamrava with failing to refer L.C. for a mental health evaluation and counseling to determine whether the she was truly prepared to undergo multi-fetal pregnancy reduction. This, the board says, amounted to "an extreme departure from the standard of practice".
Another allegation stated Kamrava transferred an embryo into an unidentified 42-year-old woman whose ultrasound revealed the presence of ovarian cysts. While cytology results came back "questionable," Kamrava never ordered any additional tests into the matter.
After the woman failed to become pregnant, she sought out a second opinion, leading her to discover that she had stage 3 ovarian cancer.
A hearing scheduled for October will likely determine whether Kamrava will have his medical license revoked. Though he has not commented on the pending case, Kamrava maintained Suleman's case "was done the right way… under the circumstances".

Going into the Feb.13 Robert B. Lewis Stakes at Santa Anita much of the focus centered on the speed of the race. Two sons of Tiznow-Tiz Chrome and American Lion-seemed the logical selections on paper but as often happens on Santa Anita's Pro-Ride surface, two speed types don't do each other any favors.
Good riders know that leaving a quality horse loose on an uncontested lead over a traditional dirt surface more often than not leads to certain defeat. The handicapping laws that govern Pro-Ride however are very different. Lost lengths can be gathered in quickly in the later stages with embattled leaders often affording little or no resistance.
For the San Felipe, trainer Eoin Harty has equipped American Lion with blinkers and in fact the colt worked beautifully in the new equipment working a sprightly 5 furlongs in1:00 flat. Once again there appears a dangerous speed type in the form of the talented Candy Ride colt Sidney's Candy. This time American Lion must refrain from engaging the leader. He must cruise along in his own comfort zone and not worry about what the leader is doing. Jockey Julien Leparoux is a master at doing just that. The fact he has chosen to fly in from Gulfstream for the mount suggests the young Frenchman still believes the son of Tiznow can realize the enormous potential he showed when breaking his maiden last fall at Keeneland.

A couple months ago, Locus Focus host Barbara Bernstein leaped at the opportunity to interview Stewart Brand, Whole Earth Catalog creator and innovative futurist. But Stewart has changed his views on some key things since the heady days of the late 1960s and early 70s, when his ideas and projects inspired a huge counter-cultural movement. His primary concern now is curbing climate change and he believes that to achieve the goal of drastically reducing our carbon emissions we must embrace technologies that he (and most of the environmental movement) once eschewed - like nuclear power.

Key Concepts in Sociology

more"A glossary of key concepts was just the sort of thing I needed when I was a sociology student. Peter Braham has written a lively, comprehensive guide to the most important concepts in our discipline. It will become an essential student resource."
- David Silverman, Goldsmith's and King's College, University of London
"A triumphant tour de force... will be a useful, even essential tool for students and faculty. It is actually fascinating reading even for non-sociologists since these ideas (identity, the body, postmodernity…) impact all of us all the time."
- Anthony Synnott, Concordia University in Montreal
"An invaluable intellectual tool for students and faculty across the social sciences... fires the mind for continued learning."
- Joseph Oliver Boyd-Barrett, Bowling Green State University, Ohio
"A crisp and comprehensive guide to the discipline. The thirty-eight entries, covering history, substance and evaluation, thereby describe both conventional and new topics that define the syllabus of modern sociology. A valuable guide to both teachers and students."
- Bryan S. Turner, Presidential Professor of Sociology, CUNY USA
Sociology consists of a myriad of frequently confusing concepts. Key Concepts in Sociology provides a comprehensive, lively and clearly-written guide to the most important concepts in the subject. It includes both what might be regarded as 'classic' sociological concepts, such as 'class', 'bureaucracy' and 'community', as well as subjects that have become increasingly prominent in recent times, such as 'celebrity', 'risk' and 'the body'.
Each of the thirty-eight substantive entries:
- defines the concept
- provides a clear and compelling narrative
- clarifies the main debates, perspectives and disagreements
- gives advice on further reading
Key Concepts in Sociology should be the first choice for sociology students at all levels of learning.less

Dear Editor,
It's required reading for most high school students. It's regarded by many as the great American novel. There have been numerous film versions of the story but only one musical version. "Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" based on Mark Twain's classic will be presented at 7:30 p.m. this Thursday, Friday and Saturday, November 13, 14 and 15, in the school's theatre. Director Betsy Dutton calls the show a "rewarding challenge."
It's been years since I used AOL for any kind of meaningful email but I can't bring myself to close the account. I keep thinking that somewhere in my cyber past there's an old friend about to reach out - and all he has is my AOL address.
To call the grotesque drubbing suffered by the Democratic Party in the midterms monumental, is like referring to the surface of the sun as warm. The scene was so grisly, acutely sensitive Democrats (most of them) were forced to avert their eyes or risk anaphylactic shock.
The laugh is on Neil Simon, literally.

The New York pension fund for state and local government employees has reported a negative 1 percent return on investment in its most recent quarter with the overall fund value dropping to $146.5 billion.
New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, the fund's sole trustee, says it has been "weathering uncertainty in the financial markets."
The fund supports more than 400,000 retirees and beneficiaries and has about 654,000 current members.
Its estimated value was $150.3 billion at the end of March.
The average employer contribution rate is now almost 19 percent of salary for most public workers and nearly 26 percent for police and firefighters.

Showdown over Obamacare as Congress takes action
The administration wasted no time in formally announcing that it would not allow House Republicans to destroy the "Obamacare" health care law by denying funds.
U.S. Rep. Ann Kuster said, "Instead of refighting old political battles, both parties need to work toward a serious compromise that will responsibly reduce the deficit, protect the middle class, and keep our government running.
U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter said: "Democrats and moderate Republicans are standing by as Tea Party extremists threaten to shut down the government unless Congress defunds the Affordable Care Act. This is a law that was passed by Congress, signed by the President, and upheld by the Supreme Court.
Republican U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte said she supports the repeal of Obamacare but not at the risk of shutting down the government.
Former state Sen. Jim Rubens, an announced candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Shaheen, said on Wednesday that while Obamacare has added to the nation's woes, Republicans "should not ask to repeal Obamacare without offering a better plan that will lower health care costs, improve health care quality and give us more control and choice in our own health care decisions.
"I want to fund the government to make sure the military personnel get paid and to make sure retirees get their Social Security checks," Lambert said. "I'm also in favor of defunding Obamacare."
Besides the spending bill, Congress and the White House have to either agree in October or early November on a measure to increase U.S. borrowing authority or plunge the nation into a first-ever credit default.
Between July 7 and Aug. 9 of that year, the Dow Jones Industrial Average blue-chip stocks plummeted 2,150 points, or 16.9 percent.
The Republican bill is expected to attract no Democratic support and even some conservative opposition.
For example, Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky told Reuters that he planned to vote against the measure because "it's a stealth debt limit increase."
Democrats in that chamber plan to delete the House's Obamacare provision and send the temporary spending bill back to the House for passage before the Sept. 30 deadline when the current fiscal year ends.

What Italian Food Dish Are You?
by Chris Malone
posted Jul 29 2013 5:05AM
It's Monday, so let's find out something about yourself. Did you know that the pasta you crave reveals your personality. Oh yeah, what you love to eat isn't solely determined by your taste buds. In fact, the kinds of foods you crave are directly related to what you want out of life. In particular the type of pasta you most like to sink your teeth into is a tell-tale indicator, says leading food expert Chef Joseph Bonanno.
You have a quick wit and high intelligence, and there is nothing you like better than a challenge. People in your circle look to you when they have a problem to solve. You possess superior organizational skills that you use to keep your household running smoothly while getting high marks from a demanding boss for your competence and expertise on the job.
Spaghetti and Meatballs
There's nothing you desire more than spending most your time with your family. Your job is important simply because it provides the money you need to support your loved ones. They are the center of your universe, and the strong bonds you have with your family give you the self-confidence you need to meet any challenge.
Fettuccine Alfredo
You appreciate the finer things in life, and you're willing to work hard to get them. A veteran shopper, you manage to find the most amazing bargains, and both friends and family appreciate your generosity -- you have the best taste in gifts. You also have the ability to stick to a strict budget in order to save enough cash for that special indulgence.
Macaroni and Cheese
You've never lost the wide-eyed wonder you had as a child. You thoroughly enjoy life with an infectious gusto that draws people to your side. Having fun is your top priority, and you are usually in charge of group outings and parties. Your upbeat, positive approach to life is a source of inspiration to others.
Pasta Primavera
You strive to live the healthiest life possible, and you are raising your kids in your image by making sure they eat a healthful diet and get plenty of exercise. You bring the same zest to other aspects of your life, never losing sight of your goals. You're known for your tenacity and both your family and pals often turn to you when things get rough.

Fascinating, slightly macabre and, sadly, relevant to all of us, the Wellcome Collection's new exhibition looks at society's attitude to death and mortality. Chicago collector Richard Harris's private collection brings together more than 300 artefacts, photos and bits and bobs related to our own finite amount of time on this earth.

Toni Collette is the wacky nanny of five kids in this new comedy from the director of Muriel's Wedding, PJ Hogan. As fans of Collette and Hogan's earlier effort will appreciate, Mental mixes brash, in-your-face comedy with emotional drama for a totally unique movie, albeit one that is likely to polarise audiences with its take on mental illness.

Trying to make a living as an actor isn't easy; glowing reviews are no guarantee of the big time. But according to actor and first-time playwright Nathaniel Martello-White's new play it's even harder if you're black – or (as he calls his characters) brown or yellow. An occasionally self-indulgent satire with snappy banter. LK

They finally fucked, putting the franchise's no nookie 'til marriage vow in the trash, but all is still not well for the emo-kids. Bella and Edward's born-a-vamp-daughter violates some bloodsuckers code, angering the Volturi. Again. Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) is the latest to call the shots in this fantasy series which, to be honest, outstayed its welcome ages ago.

As Lucy Kirkwood reminds us at the end of her short, witty two-pronged attack on the magazine industry, women may have the vote but they still have a tough fight ahead of them. NSFW ('not safe for work') takes us into the bloke-ish offices of lads' mag Doghouse, then to the sleek offices of woman's magazine Electra. Very funny. LK
