Watch Joshua Berman's TEDxBoulder 2013 Talk about purposeful travel, fear, and the unknown-> Travel should be about spinning the globe, jumping off cliffs, and eating the worm.
Joshua Berman's first narrative travel book, CROCODILE LOVE, is a collection of tales from a honeymoon in Pakistan, India, Ghana, and The Gambia. In 2005, Berman and his wife, Sutay, got married, quit everything, and flew to Pakistan to begin an open-ended trip together. They didn't need wedding gifts, they needed shared experiences, preferably toilsome, scary, and rewarding ones in strange, faraway places.
Final production was successfully funded in this Kickstarter campaign and the book will be available soon.
"I don't even sneeze in Central America without asking Josh Berman how to hold my hanky. Simply put, he knows it all." —Andrew Zimmern, chef, author, and host of Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern"

Feb 21, 2012Visually it's acceptable for a PSP release, but I don't think it's good enough to be a Vita game. Nothing stood out, which I think for the RPG genre it really needs to be something special. On a personal note, I found it very disappointing that it's a port of the same game...but it's more expensive for the Vita.
May 27, 2014As I play this game I think only one thing... How "hack&slash"/"RPG" game can be sooooooo boring...
And more than that: why FPS drops sooo badly in the game? Couldn't they optimized graphic to PS Vita? It is possible!
Apr 21, 2012The hack 'n slash role playing game Dungeon Hunter Alliance is a lot cheaper on other platforms, and for that reason alone not recommendable for purchase on a PS Vita. From a gameplay perspective, this isn't a bad game, but it doesn't shine anywhere either.
Apr 11, 2012Trite, boring and not at all compelling. Don't even bother waiting for it to hit the bargain bin, just leave it to rot. [April 2012, p77]

Self-stabilizing gyrowheel makes training wheels obsolete
The gyrowheel would make it so that anyone learning to ride a bike — or just keep any ol' bike upright — wouldn't need training wheels to keep from falling over. The gyrowheel replaces the front wheel and contains a battery-powered, spinning disk inside of it, which in turn generates a gyroscopic precessional force and helps stabilize the bike. It should keep a bike upright in the face of wobbles, and the folks at Gyrobike claim that it teaches better riding practices, besides.
A 12" version of the gyrowheel is due out in December, with a 16" version landing next spring.
Check out a video on how the gyrowheel works after the jump.

About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
Based on information in Unitarian Universalism: A Narrative History by David E. Bumbaugh (Chicago: Meadville Lombard Theological School Press, 2000).
Note: David is pronounced, "Da-VEED."
For a short time, religious toleration was the rule of the land in 16th-century Transylvania. When his mother died, the newly crowned King John Sigismund found himself ruling a country divided religiously among Roman Catholics, Calvinists and Lutherans. Among the king's advisors were George Biandrata, a Polish physician and skilled politician, and court preacher David Ferencz, known in the west as Francis David.
In the heady times of the 16th century, Christian doctrine was the subject of great debate. King John Sigismund, realizing there was no possibility of compromise among the various interpreters of proper doctrine, issued an edict that each person was free to support their chosen understanding of Christian doctrine. The edict allowed advisor Biandrata, and court preacher David, both members of the Reformed (Calvinist) tradition, to begin to explore questions concerning the doctrine of the Trinity and the deity of Jesus. Their exploration and unorthodox interpretations of Christian doctrine caused considerable concern among other members of the Reformed clergy.
In those days, doctrinal matters in Transylvania were fully aired by convening a formal debate. King John Sigismund scheduled such an event for March 3, 1568. He invited believers in the "Unity of God" position to debate the Trinitarians. The debate lasted ten days, beginning at 5 a.m. each day. Francis David represented the Unitarian position and relied on scripture to buttress his arguments. At the conclusion of the debate, David's arguments were seen as stronger, and many in Transylvania embraced Unitarianism. A second debate the following year led the King to declare that he himself was Unitarian and there should be religious toleration in the land. By 1571, Unitarianism was given legal recognition in what would turn out to be King John Sigismund's last public act. He died two months later as a result of an accident, and left no heir to the throne.
John Sigismund was succeeded by a Catholic named Stephen Bathori, who dismissed most of the Unitarians at court, while retaining Biandrata as one of his advisors. Stephen Bathori reaffirmed a policy of toleration for those Christian religions named in the 1571 decree, but declared that he would not allow any further religious innovation.
Unitarianism gained more converts in Transylvania during that period, despite the prohibition against doctrinal changes, and an ecclesiastical organization was developed. By 1577, restrictions were placed on Unitarians, but the organization continued to thrive. Francis David, by now the Unitarian Bishop, was still driven toward reform of doctrine rather than development of church organization. He explored questions having to do with the doctrine of the Lord's Supper, infant baptism, predestination and the worship of Jesus, questioning doctrine in all four areas. Biandrata, more concerned with the health of the church than with matters of doctrine, urged David to keep silent. But this was not Francis David's way.
Francis David began to preach his heretical ideas from the pulpit. Biandrata, concerned for the survival of the
Unitarian Church
, reported David's activities to the ruler. David continued to preach after the Prince ordered him to stop, and Francis David was arrested and tried for the crime of "innovation," questioning and challenging religious doctrine. The prosecutor at trial was Giorgio Biandrata, who dissembled when asked about his own earlier involvement in questioning religious doctrine. Francis David was found guilty of innovation and condemned to prison for the remainder of his life. He died in the royal dungeon in the castle at Deva on November 15, 1579. Biandrata went on to push the Unitarian church toward more conservative theological positions. By the time he died in 1588, very little remained of his former influence in the Transylvanian Unitarian movement. The
Unitarian Church
itself was forced into a position of doctrinal stagnation that lasted more than 200 years.

That was the year that really wound me up!
The year of course started with the Bucs' playoff run and the magical day that was SuperBowl XXXVIII. But remember back to the first play-off game against San Francisco when I appeared on the Sky Sports coverage and that moronic Scottish idiot Andy Colvin decided to start a weekly column slagging me off? This was the man who couldn't get a Super Bowl ticket to see his Raiders play because the NFL decreed that "he wasn't a real gridiron journalist". Anyone who reads First Down could have told him that.
First Down was also the magazine that ran a fantasy competition throughout the 2002 regular season and I had several teams finish in the top 100 with the highest ranked at No.76. As a snide attempt at some kind of revenge for my seeing the Bucs winning the Super Bowl, they decided to award secondary prizes of Super Bowl caps to those who finished 3rd to 50th and Super Bowl shirts to the next 25. Like I really needed another Super Bowl shirt - how many do you think I came back from San Diego with?
First Down aside, and I have finally stopped reading their weekly drivel because even Mike Carlson's column cannot make up for the rest of the rubbish it contains, 2003 was the year that a new UK gridiron side was launched in conjunction with the NFL. But the level of league involvement in
has to be wondered at when they have incredibly useful and informative polls such as "If West Ham goalkeeper David James played in the NFL, what position would it be?" - where was the option for sitting on his arse in the stands?
And of course this led on to bandwagon-jumping when the England rugby team won the World Cup in Australia. "Could Jonny Wilkinson head for the NFL?" came the ridiculous headlines from not just the tabloids. "Kickers in the NFL make in excess of $2M" said Neil Reynolds of
trying desperately to justify his existence and conveniently forgetting that this relates to probably one player such as Jason Elam who has been in NFL for nearly a decade. This kind of crap media is not going to attract new fans to American Football - remember, it is just rugby with pads on isn't it?
The 2003 season itself was a tale of disappointment and frustration on the field for Buccaneer fans but many I have spoken to did not feel the same way as if it had happened in previous years. Any other time that the Bucs could blown a 21-point lead on Monday Night Football inside the final five minutes would have led to mass burnings of merchandise and opposing fans - 2003 became the year of "Oh well, at least there was the Super Bowl". I don't think this is a bad thing but if fans as devoted as ourselves can experience this complacency, you begin to understand why the intensity level of the playing field is not so high.
Before the Indy debacle though, there was the small problem of my two protected fantasy QBs, Michael Vick and Chad Pennington, going down injured in the same pre-season week, Neither would be back for three months much to the hysterical giggling of my fellow fantasy owners. Like I would ever wind them up if one of their key players got hurt...... And I managed to lose both games to Phil Jones meaning the Tossers Trophy (a model of Vinny) would be heading Congleton-way at the end of the season. Still, makes more room on the shelf for the actual FFL trophy I guess!
Some on the field frustrations in 2003 - F.U.A.T. takes the biscuit although had I actually been at the games this season, "Personal Foul, 67 offense" as Kenyatta Walker's jersey now says, would come close. The NFL asked for that to be put on the back to save the referees time during games. This is the same Kenyatta who drove into Selmon's restaurant on a quiet evening and parked his Hummer on the grass outside because he thought he was too important to find a normal space 10 yards away.
And Keyshawn. If I start on him, I want to include Michael Irvin here too. Irvin ruins ESPN's NFL Primetime show with his ridiculous comments most of which get proved wrong ("No way Arizona beats Minnesota in Week 17, I know what games like that are and they have one foot in the car to drive home for the winter"). Irvin was the only person who thought Keyshawn was right to act the way he did. Hang on, Keyshawn is a moody, mouthy receiver with a severely over-inflated opinion of himself ..... and Michael Irvin is ..... answers on a postcard to the usual address.
If I'm going to start on TV pundits, I really want to throw Joe Theismann and Paul Maguire from ESPN's Sunday Night coverage into this. Losing to the Jaguars at 5am in the morning live on Channel 5 was bad enough, but these two make you want to give up watching the sport all together. My ideal 2004 wish would be for this second-guessing and irritating duo to be forced to cover World League, sorry NFL Europe games, so I have two perfect reasons not to watch (you didn't think I could have a rant without mentioning that do you?)
Right, time to come down off my soapbox. There is plenty of room up there for anyone else who wants to have a rant. Just be prepared for some editorial discretion if you don't agree with every word I say!
Happy New Year!
Paul Stewart, January 2004

Effective for Team Foundation Server 2010 users and assumingly going forward for Team Foundation Server 11, users who view read-only data for reporting purposes no longer need a TFS Client Access License (CAL). More information about the announcement from Brian Harry is available here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bharry/archive/2012/03/08/even-better-access-to-team-foundation-server.aspx
The definition of "reporting data" is not defined completely but the spirit of the licensing change is to address a challenge the Microsoft MVPs and other customer channels have brought up: occasional stakeholders who are looking at reporting data should not be required to be licensed fully with a TFS CAL as other team members who contribute regularly to a software release. They traditionally want to view progress or see potential issues.
Reporting data is exposed in several different places in Team Foundation Server:
You may need other types of CALs depending on the particular scenario but thankfully you won't need a TFS CAL. Also, if these users are "writing" or "updating" information back to TFS, then that wouldn't be considered viewing reporting data. You'll likely need a TFS CAL for those scenarios. Remember though that users have always been able to create new bugs & feature requests without needing a TFS 2010 CAL as well using Work Item Only View. This is a great improvement with this new addition to the CAL exclusions for TFS.
This licensing change is retroactive and in addition to the announcement that the Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere client for Eclipse-based IDEs is now free!

Travelmath helps you find the closest airport to any city, as well as a list of smaller local airports. You can use these pages to plan your trip and figure out the easiest way to get to your destination. Many times there are multiple airports near the city you want to visit, so you can often find a cheaper flight into a different airport. This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport. Use this tool along with the flight distance pages to plan your travel.

Good Lord, Deliver Us: Community Organizers Pray to Obama
Given the location, context, and form of this "prayer," and the dress and manner of the "celebrant," I'll be very surprised to learn this is not the work of Episcopalians in the diocese of Washington and/or Maryland. The Gamaliel Foundation's web site is here, but it's such a mess it's hard to figure out who's who and where they come from. If anyone can identify the woman leading the "prayer," please provide whatever info and links you can:

You're quite sure they're saying "Obama" and not "Oh God" or "Oh Lord"? I confess, it sounds like "Obama" to me, especially as they get to the mid-point, and everyone seems to be in the swing of it, but I've been stung before by garbled transcriptions that seem to say something damaging, and turn out to be innocuous.
Yeah, at this rate, I'm wondering if his supporters are even going to have the decency to wait until he dies before demanding a monument on the Mall.
I listened and I heard most say "Oh God". However, I do think I heard some say Obama; especially at the beginning. If the members of the group are not in general catholic in practice they might have gotten it wrong at first. I will reveret to the saying (or a paraphrase thereof): "Do not attribute to malice what can be attributed to a lack of knowledge".
I think BillB is right. A few idiots in the crowd were saying "Obama", but it sounds like the liturgy was supposed to be "deliver us O God". That said, I still think Nellie is also correct. With the Iran missle stuff, his failure to even talk to McCrystal and his junket to Copenhagen, my blood pressure got so high last night, I'm lucky I dadn't have a stroke.
Nellie, I just don't see him being competent enough to be "The Anti-Christ," and that's even assuming that there is or will be such a thing as a singular Anti-Christ (I think it dangerous to try and make too much systematic sense of prophecy).
In another 4 to 8 years, he will be just another annoying ex-president.
More on the Gamaliel Foundation courtesy of Wikipedia
Unfortunately, I don't think he'll be just another annoying ex-president. He has said that he wants to chnage the structure of America, and he's doing so already - or trying to. The government now controls some of our biggest banks, has its finger in the auto industry, is considering "bailing out" newspapers, etc. What do you think a government bailout of newspapers might lead to? Do you think it just might lead to government controlling the news - whether directly or indirectly, by virtue of the papers being dependent on government money? If this health care thing goes through, I may not be around much longer to worry about any of this, since I'm a 64-year-old breast cancer survivor. I'd better hope I don't have a recurrence, or I may be "encouraged" to consider the burden I will be to my children. Obama has not even spoken to General McChrystal about Afghanistan in 70 days. This man will NEVER be just another ex-president. He may be the presider over the destruction of America as we knew it. Well, I guess in that he has something in common with our illustrious ABC, although as far as I know, no one has yet prayed to the ABC.
The fact that this is even taking place is disturbing enough no matter how many are chanting his name as if praying to him ad not God. On a whole it is awful and says alot about where we are and where we are headed as a country.
we should all be outraged, appalled, concerned, possibly even afraid enough to stand up and do something and be heard.
I, too, heard three syllables with the first one being "O" and the second one being "ah." I also heard some people ending with the consonant "d" so I can only assume that some were saying "Obama" and some were saying either "Lord" or "God" or "O Lord God"
I would add a petition for God to deliver us from oppressive bureaucrats and from those who would enslave us by making us unable to stand on our own or to stand together as a community (rather than knee to the government).
From the look of the woman offering petitions (I won't call it prayer when too many people respond with Obama.) she appears to be either an Episcopal, Lutheran, or Methodist clergy person - probably in presbyterial orders. The fact that she is wearing an alb and a stole at a political/religious event makes me think that she is a poorly trained Episcopal priest. You should only wear an alb when celebrating the Eucharist. It is completely out of place at a political rally - even one where you are offering some form of prayer. I would hesitate to even wear clericals at such an event (even if it was an event whose goals I supported).
I am as concerned as anyone else about what is happening in our nation with Obama and his horrible socialist agenda. However, if we are honest, few of us would have concluded that these people are crying out to Obama instead of God if someone hadn't put text in front of our eyes. As far as I am concerned these tactics are as shameful as those used by the other side.
#25 Do what? We can't all go to Chicago and attend the next rally in protest. We are not professional protesters. It's another group's gathering.
What is going on–now–is so way far beyond what I could have imagined a year ago, and I imagined things would be dreadful but not within such a tight time frame.
I'm sympathetic, brother.
"O God' or "Obama?"
Given that this was shot last December, I'm wondering how many folks who said "Obama" then would say "Oh, God" (and not in a good way) now?
As for me and my house, we're sticking with "O tempora o mores," cause we're just snobby and stuff.
Some of my students wanted to debate the health care issue, but every one wanted to argue the Obama-Pelosi view… These kids are in sync with what ever he says and believe that he IS the savior of the American poor… Only about 10% go to church and they are completely converted to BHO message. Lord, Hear MY Prayer
Obama can't be the Anti-Christ. The papacy already has a lock on that job. Haven't you read Martin Luther and Jack Chick?
Florida Anglican, I've been hearing "everything that's gone on for the last 1-2 years" for the last 20 year, and I've only 27. I've sure some on this blog can remember when Bill Clinton, Ho Chi Min, Kim Il Sung, Stalin, Jack Kennedy, FDR, and maybe even Hitler were all said to be the Anti-Christ who would bring on the Tribulation any day now.
Go back a few more centuries and you have the Ottoman Turks, Ghengis Khan, Saladin, Mohammad, Atilla the Hun, Nero…
Anywide, going back to the gentle mocking of Obama without the hystronic predictions of apoclypse, it seems that the Left's new way of sticking it to the man and showing their original revolutionary thinking is wearing T-shirt demanding that you respect the president.

Because it is based on really bad exegesis.
There is an assumption here that what happens to the US is of some eschatological significance. This is simply American exceptionalism inserted into Scripture. Is there any exegetical basis for it? No. We are just pleased to think we are much more special than we actually are. It's as if 1776 has been transformed into a re-presentation of the entry of Israel into the Promised Land. We are not the new Israel. We are the Old Babylon. There is nothing significant about our country at all. Our wealth, our power, our founding, our Constitution, our democratic form of Government, our Judeo-Christian heritage, and anything else the Christian Coalition could print up on its pamphlets - they all mean nothing to the coming of the Last Day. This nation just isn't that important.
Oh, for crying out loud - they're saying "Oh, God."
[41] Floridian
Yes, that is correct. But Dispensationalism ala "Left Behind" emphatically denies that is so. It is from this stream that we get specious exegetical claims like an Eagle metaphor being a reference to the US, or the mark of the Beast being a computer chip, or stars falling from heaven being nuclear weapons from space. Those are not made-up examples. I remember once reading that the ten horns in Revelation were the 10 countries of the European Common Market. We must be very careful to avoid reading contemporary politics onto Scripture.
Unfortunately, this motif is very popular at the moment. It's like a plague. Go into any Christian Bookstore, and look for all the books that relate the Iraq war to End Time prophesy. Ten years from now they will all be mercifully forgotten. But something else will take its place. People love to think they have access to hidden knowledge that only a select few can know.
I still can't view this or any video on Stand Firm anymore. I found this one on YouTube. I was playing it, and my husband heard it from the other room and shouted, "They're praying to Obama!?!?!?" So, that proves that it is not merely the suggestion presented by the subtitles. Personally, I hear both. I'm appalled, but not surprised.
It is funny how the mind works (and technology). On my desktop with better speakers I hear more "Obama." On my laptop I hear more "God" or rather "Gahhda" but I do hear distinct "b" sounds on both. I don't think everyone there is particularly religious so they're crying to their secular idol. It helps to close your eyes and ignore the video.
I too stopped watching the video, turned the sound up, and here's what I think happened.. First of all, got to remember, lots of folks don't know from formal "prayers" and "responses".
When the thing started, there was some using "God" some, Obama. As it progressed, some were joining in and saying "Obama". So, it was both.. As it went on, the "God" folks, started responding louder (this happens in almost any group at times) folks trying to help.
By the end, almost everyone is saying "God" with only a few muddlers.
Well, I finally listened. They are not poor southernese with lisps, ya'll. They are saying with an excellent enunciation O-Bom-Uh. I did not hear even one remotely similar sound to Gawd. If you can confuse Gawd with Obam-uh, you need some serious ear wax therapy or a new hearing aid.
My Gawd, they-a wuz prayin' to Obamuh! Well, shut they's moufs! This would be worthy of a Tennesee Williams' play called THE WASHINGTON MENAGERIE or perhaps CAT ON A HOT TIN FLOOR.
But the enunciation is wicked clear to this South Carolina native with Georgia, Virginia, Texas, and Missouri under my belt for dialects, and Gullah New Testament in my hand, too.
Beware of the Gamaliel Foundation and its social activism. It's based on the tenets of Saul Alinsky published in his books [which have become almost biblical] When I was cornered 35 years ago, things happened that "normal" people would have difficulty believing Google Maggies Notebook on the Gamaliel Fdn. and read carefully between the lines. And episcopalians [sic] are involved. The implications are scary! I pray daily that they will listen to the Gospel some day.
I also turned up my linguist's ears and closed my eyes.
A [ba] syllable is hard to hear and distinguish from a [ga] syllable. However…
Only in one case could I clearly hear a response more like "God", in the penultimate "Deliver us…".
I also clearly hear [ma], every time with that one exception.
"O God" has two syllables, the last one closed by the [d]. Most of the responses I heard had three syllables ending in that open syllable [ma].
I conclude that of the people the microphone was capturing, most were saying Obama, but that one time the person holding the microphone moved close enough to an individual to capture him saying "God".
Below is the Wikepedia info on "Gamaliel" —I don't believe they're praying to Obama as they've been in place for poor people in the Midwest since 1968
The Gamaliel Foundation was founded in Chicago in 1968 to assist the Contract Buyers League, which worked to assist African-American home buyers in the city's West Side. Gamaliel was reoriented to focus on community organizing when Gregory Galluzzo was hired as executive director in 1986.[1] Seeing its basic function as training and developing leaders in low-income communities, Gamaliel's goal is "to assist local community leaders to create, maintain and expand independent, grassroots, and powerful faith-based community organizations"[2] that have the power to influence political and economic decisions that impact cities and regions. The name "Gamaliel" refers to the Biblical wise man who was a teacher to St. Paul (see Acts 5:38-39; and Acts 22:3), whom Saul Alinsky considered to be the first great congregation-based organizer.
Gamaliel Foundation works in the community organizing tradition of Alinsky, who began his work in Chicago with the Back of the Yards Neighborhood Council in 1939. Following Alinsky's death in 1972, his Industrial Areas Foundation, under executive director Edward T. Chambers, moved toward a congregation-based organizing model, emphasizing training and leadership development. Gamaliel has developed along a similar path under the direction of Galluzzo, a former Roman Catholic priest who got his introduction to community organizing in the early 1970s in Chicago, where he worked with the Pilsen Neighborhood Community Council, mentored by such organizers as Tom Gaudette and John Baumann (the founder of PICO National Network).

I love age rewind with sunscreen. This is so hard to find for my darker tone "cocoa" and/or dark "tan". It took me 3 yrs to find it at a store and I am not joking. I wish there was a "24 hr" age rewind with Sunscreen. Stock for people of color more.
I really love this foundation, but I am so disappointed that my perfect color Nude 190 is gone! I have tried the other two anti- aging foundations in the nude color, but have been very disappointed with their coverage and thick consistency.
I love this product. The firming effects, the tones they offer, the coverage. Love it all. But...
-turns orange when dried

-coverage wears and gets blotchy
-looks awful in photos
-takes a long time to set

7 Suborbital Spaceships to Carry NASA's Experiments
This month, NASA announced it would fund seven companies, each building its own unique spacecraft, to carry research projects into suborbital space. NASA says it's a way to kick-start commercial spaceflight while also testing next-gen technology on the (relative) cheap. Here are the seven ships that will do the job.
By Michael Belfiore
Armadillo Aerospace
Based in Heath, Texas, and run by video game impresario John Carmack, Armadillo is one of two winners of the NASA-sponsored Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge for vertical takeoff and vertical landing rockets. The remotely piloted, liquid-fuel ships take off and land on their tails, like the science-fiction rockets of old. Besides carrying research experiments, the company also plans to send space tourists out for a few minutes of weightless flight and a view of the Earth from space in the near future.

Agreements > Plasma Wall Interaction in TEXTOR
The IEA provides support for international collaboration on energy technology R&D, deployment and information dissemination. These groups function within a framework created by the IEA - the International Framework for International Energy Technology Collaboration. The views, findings and publications of these international groups (formally called Implementing Agreements) do not necessarily represent the views or policies of the IEA Secretariat or of all its individual member countries. OECD Member countries, autonomous OECD non-member countries, intergovernmental organisations, non-governmental organisations and private sector entities may participate. For more information, see our Technology Agreements page.
|Plasma Wall Interaction in TEXTOR
Nearly 20% of the thermal power of a fusion reactor has to be transferred from the hot plasma through the wall components of the burn chamber. This has to be achieved without overheating and excessive erosion of the plasma facing materials, without degrading the thermonuclear burn process by impurities released from the walls, and without burying too much tritium. Moreover, the helium ashes produced by the fusion processes have to be removed from the plasma with sufficient efficiency but without lowering the quality of thermal isolation of the fusion plasma.
The objective of the Implementing Agreement on Plasma Wall Interaction in TEXTOR is to study these processes, to evaluate their relative importance and to develop methods for their control. This includes the development of novel specific diagnostics and of methods to condition the wall, to structure the wall and the magnetic field and to influence the transport features of the confined plasma. The Implementing Agreement is based on a particularly strong and valuable collaboration between Canada, EURATOM, Japan and the United States. In the course of the world-wide research on fusion power, heat removal, particle exhaust and the other objectives of this Agreement coupled with plasma confinement as a whole, have emerged as priority tasks for developing a long pulse reactor. They require a variety of approaches (e.g. materials, divertors, limiters) to be developed, tested and evaluated.
Medium-sized machines like TEXTOR have the particular mission of exploring new methods and concepts before transferring them to the large devices of reactor grade performance. The research programme is highly relevant for next generation machines, both on the tokamak development path (ITER) and the stellarator path (Wendelstein 7-X), and more generally for a stationary fusion reactor. Work under the Agreement has contributed to the solution of problems concerning the interaction between the plasma and the reactor wall; including controlled heat transfer onto and through the wall, impurities released from the wall, retention of the nuclear fuel (tritium) in the wall and removal of the helium ashes produced by the fusion process. It has enabled the partners to make use of the TEXTOR facility to progress technology development and enabled the transfer of knowledge from TEXTOR to other research facilities, contributing to the total development process.
Boronisation techniques pioneered through this Agreement are now applied world-wide as a method to reduce oxygen impurities in tokamak and stellarator plasmas. Edge radiation cooling developed through TEXTOR is regarded as a promising technique to alleviate the heat transfer problems of ITER and other fusion devices. Their application lead to a new regime of very good and stationary confinement, the so-called Radiation Improved Mode. Mechanisms to remove Helium (in particular by a toroidal pumplimiter), have been successfully demonstrated. Low Z and high Z materials like carbon and tungsten have been tested and evaluated. A series of useful edge diagnostics has been developed and applied. The recent implementation of the "Dynamic Ergodic Divertor" (DED) and the new powerful ECR heating system opens further possibilities to study and influence the particle and energy transport in the plasma boundary layer by "magnetic edge layer vortexing" and local deposition of heating powers up to 1 MW.Studies of erosion and deposition of wall materials, tritium retention and recycling, as well as tests of advanced wall materials and concepts, optimisation of radiative scenarios, exploitation of operational limits linked to plasma-edge instabilities, particle removal and transport studies related to the magnetic topology at the boundary, can be significantly furthered within the Agreement by utilisation of these novel experimental means.

The Start of Something Big
Posted By Good Sam On August 1, 2013 @ 6:00 am In Chapter News,RV Community | No Comments
[4]For Good Sam chapters, 1968 was the year it all began
1968 was a pivotal time, both in world history and in the history of the Good Sam Club. That was the year Good Sam launched its network of local chapters to bring members together within geographical boundaries for RV fun, fellowship and philanthropy. Four and a half decades later, four of the club's original 1968 chapters are still going strong.
Good Sam's first chapter, Utah's Ute Salt Shakers, continues to shake things up in the Salt Lake City area. Although the member roster has changed quite a bit over the years, the chapter still gets together at summer campouts and winter lunches, travels to state Samborees and raises money for worthy charities, just as the group has for decades. "We're proud to be chapter number one," enthuses member Beverly Olsen, who fondly refers to the chapter's 25 families as her "camping buddies."
As the member who has belonged to Ohio's Travel Pals the longest, Jim Johnston has proud possession of his chapter's 40-year-anniversary plaque and says he hopes to be around to receive the 50th award. These days the northeast Ohio chapter unites 16 RVing families. Ten members made the trip to last year's Ohio Samboree, and one serves on the state staff. Like many Good Sam chapters, the Travel Pals donate to Dogs for the Deaf, hosting brown-bag auctions to raise money.
The Chicago area's Fox River Sams chapter is noteworthy among the original Good Sam groups for having one of the founding members among its current membership. Marilyn Seaton is understandably proud of the long-standing chapter she helped establish 45 years ago. She and her fellow Fox River members get together at group outings, and many travel to Illinois Samborees.
The founding members of Virginia's first chapter were so proud to be their state's initial Good Sam group, they chose their name to reflect that. Forty-five years later, the First Virginia Good Sams are equally proud of their history of community service. Last year the Richmond-based chapter not only participated in fundraisers for Relay for Life, Ronald McDonald House, Special Olympics and Dogs for the Deaf, they contributed $1,739.50 to nine local charities, reports David Clark, current chapter president and a 14-year member of the group.
Good Sam applauds these four 1968 chapters, not only for their longevity but also for their many accomplishments over the past 45 years. All across the continent, both longtime chapters and just-minted groups are looking for new members to swell their ranks.

Health Care Required Courses
Required Core General MBA Classes
MBAH 403 Foundations of Business
This course introduces new HCMBA students to the concepts and principles underlying the many disciplines that they will study. Scheduled during the first week of the Fall or Spring term, Foundations of Business establishes the demands and performance expectations of the HCMBA program. Throughout the week, students gain knowledge of important mechanics and, using case studies, learn how to integrate cross-disciplinary concepts. Foundations of Business also encourages students to appreciate each other as co-members of a challenging and invigorating program. The course is team-taught. 0 credits
MBAH455 Leading Individuals and Groups
Leading Individuals and Groups focuses on the function, role, and responsibility of the manager in an organizational context. We place emphasis on understanding the organizational culture and on developing skills needed for the manager in middle- and senior-level management positions and on the transition necessary in moving from supervisory positions to middle management and from middle management to senior management. In addition, we focus on the management of relationships with subordinates, peers, and supervisors, on managing change and conflict, and on leading a group and valuing and managing a diverse workforce. The course also explores the more intangible management issues that may confront women and men in higher-level management positions and examines the increasingly strategic need to identify and negotiate both formal and informal sources of support for implementing decisions within the organization. 3 credits
MBAH 427 Strategic Thinking and Analytical Decision Making
Strategic Thinking and Analytical Decision Making equips students with the tools, techniques, and frameworks to think creatively, critically, analytically, and strategically to make managerial decisions that lead their firms toward value creation under conditions of competition and complexity. To be a strategic manager is to move with a goal or goals in mind, to integrate information across functional areas and organizations, to use and collect data, and to be cognizant and engaged with the past and the future, the big picture and the operational.
Creative, critical, analytical, and strategic decision makers know how to recognize and categorize decision problems, how to represent the essential structure of the decision situation, how to discover multiple solutions creatively, and how to analyze solutions using tools based on decision theory. Decision makers need to be able to think effectively about the inputs into a decision analysis, about whether to trust the analysis, and about how to use the outputs to guide a firm's strategic actions. Managing uncertainty, turbulence, complexity, intense competition, and opportunities for innovation are all hallmarks of analytical decision making. 3 credits
MBAH415 Quantitative Analysis
Quantitative Analysis introduces business statistics, and covers how to manage data, obtain descriptive statistics, and conduct a variety of statistical tests including chi-square, correlation, t-test, analysis of variance, and regression. Students also learn how to interpret and report results. We teach the course from an applied perspective using examples from industry whenever possible. 3 credits
MBAH420 Financial Reporting and Analysis
Financial Reporting and Analysis provides a clear understanding of how we use accounting data to communicate financial information to those outside an organization. Students learn to evaluate accounting issues and become thoroughly familiar with the concepts and mechanics of the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Course emphasis is on using accounting data as an effective tool for decision making. 3 credits
MBAH421 Managerial Accounting
Managerial Accounting is concerned with management control systems and the information they generate, as well as their role in management analysis and decision making. The course introduces costing techniques, responsibility accounting, the budget process, and information analysis. Attention is given to the interrelationship between internal measurement system and overall management planning, decision making, and control. 3 credits
MBAH470 Negotiation and Problem Solving
Negotiation and problem solving are essential skills for today's leaders, allowing them to work constructively with internal or external stakeholders, in teams, in complex organizations, and in partnerships or alliances. Negotiation can be the key to turning conflict into productive collaboration and effective decision-making, while preserving and enriching relationships.
Accordingly, this course has two objectives. The first objective is to understand basic negotiation theory. The early part of the course will focus on the two dominant models of negotiation and on analytical frameworks for preparing for, conducting, and evaluating negotiations. The second objective is to learn and practice the critical skills associated with effective negotiation and collaborative problem solving in a range of situations.
The impact upon negotiation of gender, power, and culture will be addressed, as will the mode of communication — e.g., face-to-face or virtual. The course will employ a range of experiential learning exercises and simulations to achieve its objectives. The overriding goal is for students to translate theories and skills into a form that is applicable to their personal and professional lives. 3 credits
Required Core MBA Classes With Health Care Focus
MBAH410 Health Economics
Health Economics examines the systematic economic forces at work in health care that relate to the performance of the U.S. health care system. Performance of U.S. health care is contrasted with a number of international health systems throughout the course. Using readings from the health economics literature, we study the way markets and competition work in health care. We focus on some of the anomalous aspects of the health industry, such as health insurance (both social and private insurance), the role of technology, the problem of market failure due to asymmetric information and externalities, and the role of professional licensing, patents, and other government regulation. We consider the supply-side implications of licensure requirements for many health professions on the management decisions in the health industry. 3 credits
MBAH448 Health Care Information Technology
Health Care Information Technology introduces students to the concepts and management activities related to information systems in health care organizations. The understanding of technology cannot only reside within an Information Systems division. It is critical that managers of every function understand key components of IT in order to be successful in today's health care delivery system. Included in the course are sessions examining kinds of information systems, the way decisions are made about new system technologies and vendors, and how new systems are implemented. This course will be a blend of general IT concepts and practical problems facing health care organizations related to the acquisition, use, and management of information technology to assure the safe delivery of quality care in an affordable manner. 3 credits
MBAH434 Health Care Finance
Health Care Finance provides students with a set of analytical tools to use to answer the question, "How do my decisions add value to the organization?" Students will become fluent in issues, data, and concepts of making investment choices and funding them within nonprofit and for-profit health care organizations. Topics include return and risk relationships in the capital markets, time value of money and capital budgeting techniques, and capital structure and cost of capital. This course provides a rigorous treatment of key financial concepts and analytical approaches. Students apply skills and knowledge developed in Financial Reporting and Analysis and Managerial Accounting to develop forecasting models that reflect the unique financial management needs of health care provider and payer organizations. 3 credits
MBAH424 Health Care Marketing
Health Care Marketing provides knowledge and skills pertaining to the functions of strategic planning and marketing in the health care setting. It focuses on the analysis of marketing opportunities and problems in both for-profit and not-for-profit health care organizations, and on the strategic and tactical decisions faced by managers. The course has three main components: (1) how environmental forces can influence the success or failure of a marketing plan and how to use market research to understand these environmental forces, (2) how marketing strategies are employed by a variety of organizations, and (3) how to successfully implement marketing strategies through product planning, pricing, promotion, and distribution decisions. 3 credits
MBAH466 Health Care Leadership and Change
Health Care Leadership and Change provides students with an introduction to relevant theories and an opportunity to practice a key role of leadership: transforming organizational culture by means of effective implementation of change. By working on a selected improvement project, students will gain experience in some of the processes of (1) contributing to institutional change, (2) helping to move their organization closer to a generative culture of safety, and (3) developing others' ability to be carriers of such a safety culture. The centerpiece of the course will be a change project that demonstrably ("evidence-based") improves patient safety and/or quality of care. The emphasis of our experience together will be on culture transformation according to evidence-based management methodologies. 3 credits
MBAH443 Health Care Strategic Management
Health Care Strategic Management is a leadership course whose objectives are, first, to introduce you to frameworks and methodologies for conducting strategic analyses and, second, to provide you with opportunities for devising innovative strategic recommendations for healthcare organizations. We base the design on the National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL) competency of strategic orientation: the "ability to consider the business, demographic, ethno-cultural, political, and regulatory implications of decisions and develop strategies that continually improve the long-term success and viability of the organization." The role we will collectively take is that of a strategic consultant, able to bring a senior leadership perspective and state-of-the-art techniques to this endeavor. 3 credits
MBAH436 Health Care Financial Strategy
Health Care Financial Strategy is devoted to financial strategy and related tools for formulating and implementing strategy. Students will bring together learning from health care marketing, health care strategic management, and health care finance. The course covers mergers/divestitures and health care governance. Participants develop financial models of a start-up health care business and develop a business plan, a key business tool for implementing new programs or strategic change in existing organizations. 3 credits
Required Health Care Subject Courses
MBAH480 The Health System
The Health System provides a strategic overview of the health system to help students better understand the context in which health care organizations operate. We will examine both the historical roots of the U.S. health care system and possible trends likely to affect those who use it, work in it, and pay for it. We will give special attention to the recent debate and legislation concerning health reform in the U.S.
Students will gain a basic understanding of the political process and of how government and private stakeholders operate within this complex system. We will understand unique aspects of the health care workforce and implications for health care managers. We will explore major issues of quality, access, payment, financing, disparities by race and gender, international comparisons on quality and cost, and others. We will compare the costs and outcomes for U.S. health care to other benchmark countries. 3 credits
MBAH429 Health Care Quality and Measurement
The health care industry is struggling to change complex and often unwieldy and ineffective operations to ones that are responsive, customer-centered, and economical. Lean production, six sigma, and statistical process control -- common in other industries -- are finding their way into health care delivery and management. The course also focuses on the principles of and practice of health care quality improvement, addressing theories and concepts of quality measurement, management and patient safety, along with analytic methods for evaluating quality. Students will assess quality measurement and management policies of government agencies and health plans and carry out projects in their own, or in local, health care organizations. 3 credits
MBAH481 Health Care Law and Ethics
Health Care Law and Ethics addresses major legal and ethical principles and issues relevant to health care administration, including (1) an overview of the structure and procedures of courts and legal public institutions that regulate health care and (2) legal relationships between patients and providers, providers and institutions, and patients and institutions. The course also addresses (3) the legal structure of various forms of corporate organization, including profit and not-for-profit; and (4) legal issues relating to admission and discharge, emergency treatment, medical records, and mental health treatment.
In each of these areas, we address certain policy issues of major importance. Finally, the course presents an ethical analytic framework grounded in legal principles and in the philosophical principles of beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice, applied in cases and readings to the difficult ethical challenges in health care administration. The course is taught in two parts: Part I is Health Law, and Part II is Health Ethics. As students will see, there is a reason for addressing this material in this sequence. 3 credits
