7 The central auditory nervous system
7.2 Coding of information in the higher auditory centres
We have seen that in the cochlear nerve, information about sound intensity is coded for in two ways: the firing rates of neurons and the number of neurons active. These two mechanisms of coding signal intensity are found throughout the auditory pathway and are believed to be the neural correlates of perceived loudness. The tonotopic organisation of the auditory nerve is also preserved throughout the auditory pathway; there are tonotopic maps within each of the auditory nerve relay nuclei, the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN, labelled meidal geniculate body in Figure 27) and the auditory cortex. Conversion from frequency to position that originates on the basilar membrane is maintained all the way up to the auditory cortex. One source of information about sound frequency is therefore derived from tonotopic maps; the location of active neurons in the auditory nuclei and in the cortex is an indication of the frequency of a sound. Phase locking as a means of frequency coding is also present in centres further along the pathway.
There are, in fact, two distinct pathways that occur in the CANS:
- The 'what' pathway which is monaural and receives information from only one ear. This pathway is concerned with the spectral (frequency) and temporal (time) features of a sound and is hardly concerned with the spatial aspects. It focuses mainly on identifying and classifying different types of sound.
- The 'where' pathway which is binaural and receives information from both ears. It is involved in the localisation of a sound stimulus.
Despite the apparent dichotomy of these two processing pathways, the same types of acoustic cues may be important for the analysis that occurs in each. For example, spectral information is used in the 'where' pathway for determining a sound's elevation; and temporal information, used for our perception of frequency in the 'what' pathway, is also used in the 'where' pathway for determining a sound's horizontal location.
7.2.1 The 'what' pathway
The main nucleus involved in the 'what' pathway is the cochlear nucleus which has three main components, each of which is tonotopically organised; cells with progressively higher characteristic frequencies are arrayed in an orderly progression along one axis (Figure 29). The cochlear nuclei contain neurons of several types, each of which encodes a specific parameter of a stimulus (frequency, intensity, time): stellate cells encode stimulus frequency and intensity, bushy cells provide information about the timing of acoustical stimuli, and are involved in locating sound sources along the horizontal axis, and fusiform cells are thought to participate in the localization of sound sources along a vertical axis.
Figure 29 The representation of stimulus frequency in the cochlear nucleus. Stimulation with two sounds of different frequency causes vibration of the basilar membrane at two different positions (top). This in turn excites two distinct populations of afferent fibres, which project onto the cochlear nucleus in an orderly fashion
7.2.2 The 'where' pathway
The 'where' pathway involves the ventral cochlear nuclei, the superior olivary complex and the inferior colliculus. The superior olivary complex is composed of the lateral superior olive (LSO) and the medial superior olive (MSO).
The neurons in the superior olivary complex are the first brainstem neurons to receive strong inputs from both cochleae and are involved in sound localisation.
The MSO receives excitatory inputs from the cochlear nuclei on both sides and is tonotopically organised. It is involved in the localisation of sound in the horizontal plane by processing information about auditory delays. Units in the MSO increase their firing rate in response to sounds from both ears as opposed to one ear, and these excitatory–excitatory (EE) units will increase their discharge rate further in response to sounds that reach both ears with a certain delay. In other words, a unit will discharge at the greatest rate when there is a particular interaural delay. This aids in localising sound in the horizontal plane.
The LSO is also involved with sound localisation but instead of using interaural time delays, it employs intensity differences to calculate where a sound originated. Information from the ipsilateral (same side) inputs to the LSO is usually excitatory and results in an increase in discharge rate of the neuron. Contralateral stimulation of the LSO is usually inhibitory. Thus, stimulation from both ears may decrease the firing rate of the neuron relative to the firing rate when only the ipsilateral ear receives sound. These excitatory–inhibitory (EI) units discharge with a few spikes when there is approximately equal stimulation of both ears and discharge rate increases as a function of changing the interaural level difference. The LSO therefore appears to form a network for processing interaural level differences, which are used to determine the location of sound sources.
The use of interaural time and intensity differences in sound localisation will be dealt with in more detail in Section 12.
The inferior colliculus is part of the tectum and is the most prominent nucleus in the brainstem. It receives inputs from the olivary complex and the cochlear nucleus. Units in the inferior colliculus appear to be mainly EI units although there are EE units as well. They are tonotopically organised in sheets of cells (as in the cochlear nucleus). Cells in different parts of the inferior colliculus are either monaural, in that they respond to input from one ear only, or binaural, responding to bilateral stimulation. Both the spectral processing that takes place in the cochlear nucleus and the binaural processing that occurs in the olivary complex are seen in the inferior colliculus. In fact, the inferior colliculus is the termination of nearly all projections from brainstem auditory nuclei. It is therefore a 'watershed' for information processing where the 'what' and 'where' pathways converge on a single tonotopic map. Outputs of the inferior colliculus project mainly to the medial geniculate nucleus.
The medial geniculate nucleus is also tonotopically organised. Neurons with the same characteristic frequency are arrayed in one layer, so that the nucleus consists of a stack of neural laminae that represent successive stimulus frequencies. Sensitivity to interaural time or intensity differences is maintained. Axons leaving the MGN project to the auditory cortex. The neural responses of cortical cells in response to sound have been studied extensively in primates. In general, neurons are relatively sharply tuned for sound frequency and possess characteristic frequencies covering the audible spectrum of frequencies. In electrode penetrations made perpendicular to the cortical surface, the cells encountered tend to have similar characteristic frequencies, suggesting columnar organisation on the basis of frequency, the so-called ice-cube model of the auditory cortex (Figure 30). Although most of the neurons in the primary auditory cortex are sensitive to stimulation through either ear, their sensitivities are not identical. Instead the cortex is divided into alternating strips of two types. Half of these strips contain EE neurons and respond more to stimulation from both ears than to either ear separately, and the other half consist of EI neurons which are stimulated by unilateral input but inhibited by stimulation from the opposite ear. The strips of EE and EI cells run at right angles to the axis of tonotopic mapping so that the primary auditory cortex is partitioned into columns responsive to every audible frequency and to each type of interaural interaction.

Revolution for a judicious society
First of all, thanks to World Pulse for providing beautiful reading materials in assignment 4 for reinforcing the feminine qualities in us. I really enjoyed reading it.
My personal vision keeps on changing from time to time since the day, I learned visioning for me and my life. Few days back, I realize a beautiful vision of my life. I love it and I own it. The more and more I think about it, I feel strengthened, it becomes clearer."I am a being- a pure, peaceful, powerful, happy and content being. It is all within me. I am the creator of my own thought, feelings and happiness. External factor, person, things, situation are only the stimulus and the response is my creativity, I create, I chose it. The other person is not going to act as per my choice. I cannot force others to do behave the way I wish, rather I can only influence. Giving positive, powerful and satisfactory answer to the question of my own mind in relation to situation, person, relationship, is a great art, which I can surely do, but since I have stopped practicing it, is becoming a challenge. To remain in the awareness of all this has become a vision of my life and believe me I am a happy and peaceful being now days. I love this life.
My vision for my community is that they are capable being; they have huge innate potential to dream for themselves, to build their future on their own, to change the scenario and situation which hinder them to attain their dream and shape their future. I can only stimulate them to dream, facilitate them to shape their future, trigger and motivate them to bring change in their social scenario and situation. I can only reinforce at belief level –yes you can do, yes we can do and we will do it for ourselves, we will only do and nobody will do it for ourselves. I can build my own confidence and work at their confidence level. I can share the story of bold women, show the video and make them feel confident enough. I have experienced many times - when the women determine to do anything, they accomplish it. Change is the need of time – I and my community and the whole world need a change in the outlook, change in the social system, and change in the attitude- a changing scenario- where human being is human being irrespective of gender.
I want to be a voice for myself, my community and my world in bringing the Social Change. Women of similar vision can share their idea, extend their support hand, and put forward their effort for an equal and judicious society through the platform provided by World Pulse.
Thanks World pulse for providing such a wonderful platform,we have ever had.
HI Minakshi,
Thank you for this. It is inspiring to read! I am grateful that you are here and are a voice for truth and for a positive future. You've got your finger on it, for sure. May you go out and spread the word, help to ignite this fire in others.
You're well on your way. We are standing with you, and behind you.
All the best,
Laura R.
Your Spirit Sparkles.....
Dear Minakshi,
Your spirit illuminates a BEAUTIFUL and INSPIRATIONAL vision. YES, the practice and change begins within us and we can then inspire others to take the first step and discover their personal power and abilities.
We need to support one another to reach and realize our potential which is enormous. I LOVE your positive attitude and enthusiasm for LIFE, please keep shining and believing in YOURSELF and OTHERS!
Your spirit sparkles like the stars!
With Gratitude,
Linda M. Ando
Your vision
Dear Minakshi,
Your vision is beautiful! And you are so wise. My favorite line you write is:
"External factor, person, things, situation are only the stimulus and the response is my creativity, I create, I chose it."
Tomorrow I have a big meeting I have been nervous about, but your words remind me that no matter what happens, tomorrow in this meeting or any other time in life, my response will be of my choosing.
Thank you for inspiring me, and others, to follow your decision to love and own your life.
*resolved this year to think twice and to smile twice before doing anything*
"I love this life"
Dear Minakshi,
"I am a being- a pure, peaceful, powerful, happy and content being. It is all within me. I am the creator of my own thought, feelings and happiness."
Thank you for your inspiring journal...the eloquent reminder that we make our own world with our thoughts, how we choose to respond to situations. Revolutionary! Reading your post helped to turn around my day. I am sleep-deprived and didn't use mindful-speech when I chatted with another mom at my sons' school this morning...I was being so hard on myself later, full of regret. Your words helped remind me that I can forgive myself, start fresh, choose happiness (I did call the mom friend to pour my heart out and she was so lovely and forgiving with me...actually was surprised that I felt the need to apologize). :)
I thank you for raising your voice and sharing your vision, speaking love and truth.
May you be happy, healthy and wise!
"I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being."

Memory Lane of WC: The Admission Office
April 18, 2012
The Admission Staff & Student Ambassadors 2011-2012
Contributed by Maria Larson
When I decided that I wanted to stay and work on campus over the last summer break, I applied to several places where they were hiring students for the summer. One of these places was the Admission office, and that was where I eventually got a job.
I worked full time during the summer, and had a great time with the whole staff in the office. Once school started back up, I continued to work part time in the office and combined work with my last year of school. There have been times when it has been extremely stressful and I have considered quitting the job in order to have more time for school, but every time that thought have come to mind, I have realized that I could never actually leave that place.
The staff in the Admission office is awesome and they make it worth coming in to work every day! I got to know all of the counselors really well during the summer, as we worked so closely together, and we had a lot of fun! Once school started back up, and all the students came back to campus, all the other student ambassadors also contributed to a lot of good times in the office.
I hope you have met some of these amazing people during a visit on campus, or that you will meet them on a future visit, because they are great people and they mirror the friendliness and belongingness that Wilmington College is all about!
There is not one day in the office without laughter. Although we are often very busy in there, we always find moments to laugh and enjoy each other's company. It is the kind of work environment I hope I always find myself in, and the Admission office will for sure be one of the places I will miss the most on campus when I leave Wilmington College.

Public Drinking Water Branch
2012 Drinking Water Week Poster Contest
The winners of the 2012 Drinking Water Week poster contest, sponsored by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the American Water Works Association are:
|Addison Luetkemeyer, Immaculate Conception, Jefferson City - Water Uses
|Kelsie Backues, Immaculate Conception, Jefferson City- Celebrate Water!
|Katie Kriz and Sara Salarno, Union Chapel Elementary, Kansas City Tap Water is My Groove
The winning posters were chosen from more than 200 entries submitted by fifth grade students across Missouri. The winners are awarded $300 for first place, $200 for second place and $100 for third place by the American Water Works Association.
The poster contest is held in celebration of National Drinking Water Week, May 6 through 12. Drinking Water Week is a week set aside each year to make people more aware of the benefits of tap water. A safe, reliable water supply is critical to the success of any community. It creates jobs, attracts industry and investment and provides for the health and welfare of citizens in ways ranging from disease prevention to fire suppression. We often take water resources for granted unless we are living through a drought or when depleted water supplies threaten a community's future. Water plays a vital role in our daily lives, and this poster contest asked students to celebrate what only tap water can deliver.

Citi, JPM Seen as Best Bank Stocks for Tepid 2H
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - With the sector soaring so far this year, bank stocks may be pressured in the last four months, and "the banks best positioned are those institutions that can grow revenues, effectively manage expenses and deploy capital," according to Credit Suisse analyst Moshe Orenbuch.
"For 2013, we rank C and JPM at the top of this list," Orenbuch wrote in note to clients late Wednesday.
As TheStreet outlined in 5 Cheapest Bank Stocks last month, shares of Citigroup (C) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM) trade at very low multiples to forward earnings estimates, when compared to their large bank peers, and even when compared to smaller regional banks.
Orenbuch rates both stocks "Outperform," with a $60 price target for Citigroup and a price target of $65 for JPMorgan.Citi's shares closed at $49.60 Wednesday and traded for 9.1 times the consensus 2014 earnings estimate of $5.46 a share, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. JPMorgan Chase closed at $51.87 Wednesday. The shares traded for 8.5 times the consensus 2014 EPS estimate of $6.11. Here's how those valuations stack up against the other two members of the "big four" U.S. banking club: Bank of America's (BAC) shares traded for 10.5 times the consensus 2014 EPS estimate of $1.36, based on Wednesday's close at $14.32. Despite being consistently the most profitable among the big four, Wells Fargo's (WFC) shares are slightly cheaper on a forward P/E basis than Bank of America's shares, closing at $41.50 Wednesday, or 10.3 times the consensus 2014 EPS estimate of $4.02.
CitigroupIn his review of management commentary for the largest U.S. banks during the first half of 2014, Orenbuch highlighted the return of positive operating leverage in Citigroup's Latin American and Asia businesses during the second quarter. Citi expects to continue for the rest of 2013, which is especially important, as 57% of the company's revenue during the second quarter came from outside the United States. This makes Citigroup a unique play among the big four. Citigroup estimated that its Basel III Tier 1 common equity ratio was 10.0% at the end of the second quarter, putting the company in fully compliance with the Federal Reserve's minimum requirement of 7.0% plus an additional 2.5% buffer as a global systemically important financial institution (GSIFI) years ahead of the January 9.5% several years ahead of the January 2019 due date.

Leukemia is a cancer that begins in blood-forming tissues of the body, such as bone marrow. Although people often think of leukemia as a childhood disease – primarily because it accounts for 30 percent of childhood cancer cases and is the chief cause of death by disease in children ages 1 to 14 – it actually is diagnosed 10 times more often in adults.
At The James, we have experts in this highly specialized field who have dedicated their lives to supporting and caring for leukemia patients and their families. Our team approach provides the best research and treatment, putting our physicians and researchers on the leading edge of advances in detecting and treating leukemia. Our leukemia program differs from others in that our inpatient care unit is dedicated solely to patients with this diagnosis, with both physicians and nurses who are specialized in the management and complications of this disease. Leukemia management is a very specialized field that has changed dramatically over the past several years, emphasizing the importance of a physician/healthcare professional team focused on treatment of this disease.
Physicians and researchers at Ohio State's Comprehensive Cancer Center – James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute are continually seeking new answers to questions about leukemia.
As one of only four institutions approved by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to conduct phase I and II clinical trials on NCI sponsored anticancer agents, the OSUCCC – James has access to more leading-edge targeted cancer therapies than most hospitals across America. That translates to better outcomes, fewer side effects and more hope. Search open cancer clinical trials.

No. 81 Crew Chief - Jason Miller
Jason Miller returns for his second season at SS Green Light Racing as the Crew Chief for the No. 81 Toyota Tundra entry in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series.
Miller is a native of Indianapolis, IN who made the transition to NASCAR racing in 1999 working as a mechanic and tire changer for Andy Petree Racing. He joined Bobby Hamilton Racing in 2002 and 2003. Jason worked for several different teams over the next few seasons building his resume and moving up the ladder, by 2006 he had worked his way up to car chief and was united with Texan David Starr at Red Horse Racing. The team finished fourth in points and scored a victory at Martinsville.
In 2008 Miller's hard work was rewarded with his first Crew Chief position at The Racers Group (TRG Racing) where he scored his first NCWTS victory as a Crew Chief at Mansfield with rookie driver Donny Lia behind the wheel. The following season Jason was reunited with David Starr, this time as crew chief and guided the HT Motorsports team to a ninth place finish in 2009 NCWTS point standings with four top-five finishes and fourteen top-ten finishes.
In 2010 Miller made the move to SS Green Light Racing working with several drivers including Donnie Lia and rookie Tony Jackson Jr. before Starr joined the team as full time driver in August. In the final ten races of the season Starr had three top-ten finishes with Jason atop the pit box and finished the season ninth in the drivers standings.
"The trucks are about racing and that is why I love the series so much," Miller said. "I've gained a lot of experience with some pretty good race teams over the years, but for the first time in years I feel like I've found a home. I respect Ken Smith and appreciate how he approaches the business of motorsports. Bobby Dotter and I get along so good; SS Green Light has a great team atmosphere. We've got a hard-working group of guys and I'm really happy to be back in 2011 and hopefully for years to come."

1968 BSA Bantam D14/4
Promises of 'over 60mph' and 'at least 100mpg' were among the boasts made of the D14/4, which now had a compression ratio of 10:1 and a claimed 14bhp. Despite its advantages, the D14/4 was being left behind at an increasing pace by its Japanese rivals. While they now had automatic oiling, five (or six) speed gearboxes, bigger brakes and so on, the Bantam carried on as before. It was cheap, though

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The Jackson family wrestles with conflict in Michael's long shadow
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
Blanket Jackson, Paris Jackson and Prince Jackson appear at the Michael Jackson Hand and Footprint ceremony at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on January 26, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.
It is hard for celebrities to live their lives entirely in the public eye. But in the rarefied air of superstardom, perhaps the Jackson family lives in the biggest glass house of all.
In the aftermath of the death of the most famous Jackson, pop icon Michael, who died in 2009, the Jacksons still can't keep the family drama out of the press.
This past week has found their internal strife in the bold font of tabloid headlines. With the conflicting reports and accounts of the whereabouts of Katherine (the family matriarch and guardian of Michael's children), her children's reported squabbling over their brother's estate, brother Marlon crying on TV, Paris tweeting to the world asking to see her grandma, and the authorities being called to investigate an assault, it makes one wonder just what might happen next.
Who would've thought that MJ was the glue that held this talented family from Gary, Indiana together?
How does international fame affect family relations? How is it possible to live a normal life in the public eye?
Allison Samuels, senior writer for Newsweek and The Daily Beast
Andrew Blankstein, crime and breaking news reporter for the Los Angeles Times

Product description
Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand." The Marilyn in these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon--from the unique perspective of the icon herself.

EarthLink And Clearwire Announce Wholesale 4G Agreement
BELLEVUE, Wash. and ATLANTA, Sept. 10, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearwire Corporation (NASDAQ: CLWR), a leading provider of 4G mobile broadband services in the U.S., and EarthLink, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELNK), a leading IT services and communications provider, today announced a wholesale agreement that will enable EarthLink to offer its customers high-speed fixed and mobile broadband service using Clearwire's 4G network.
"Clearwire's wholesale 4G services offer a wide range of customer and product options for established and non-traditional wireless entrants seeking to seize the opportunity in the hot mobile broadband market of today," said Don Stroberg, SVP of strategic partnerships and wholesale at Clearwire. "Clearwire's 4G network is a great extension to EarthLink's business, enabling them to add 4G fixed and mobile data plans to their diverse service portfolio. We're thrilled to continue building momentum for our wholesale 4G business as the premier wholesale provider of 4G capacity to carriers, ISPs and other service providers in the U.S."
EarthLink's wireless service will initially target consumers for in-home use, and is expected to launch in early 2013. Future product offerings will include mobile devices and new services for small business customers."Customers are increasingly equating broadband services with wireless services and our wholesale agreement with Clearwire will allow EarthLink to offer the wireless products and services necessary to remain a leader in communications services," said Michael Toplisek, Executive Vice President of Products & Marketing for EarthLink. "The 4G broadband speeds and urban and suburban network focus aligns well with our long-term strategy for growing our customer base. We are excited to leverage Clearwire's leadership in 4G for both WiMAX and LTE in the future." Clearwire is constructing a next-generation 4G LTE Advanced-ready network to address the mobile broadband capacity needs of wholesale customers in urban markets where demand for wireless data is high. As Clearwire's LTE network comes online, EarthLink and Clearwire expect to extend their agreement to offer users even faster speeds.

Seminars, Jams and Workshops
19-22 November 2009, Dan and Stephane ran seminars in the ancient city of St Petersburg, Russia. Dan was there last year and both the city and the parkour community were very welcoming and traceurs came from all over Russia to take part, showing great training spirit and physical abilities. 2009 proved to be just as good, with Stephane also available to attend for his first trip to Russia. The event was organised by Russia's PKCITY.
Russia Seminar Success
Dan and Stephane have just returned from teaching a few days of seminars in St Petersburg, Russia, and the events went very well with great attendance from the burgeoning Russian traceur community. The last day was spent working with teenage inmates of a Russian prison, who live in fairly harsh conditions yet threw themselves into the training despite the cold and wet conditions! We would like to thank the St Petersburg parkour community for organising the seminars, and especially Evgenii, Gen and all the team for making us feel so welcome. Great to see familiar faces as well as to meet some new ones, and we look forward to further strengthening the ties between the Russian and European parkour commnuities!

text: Alonso: The strategy we have chosen should help to recover good positions 6 July, 2013 Fernando Alonso with the Ferrari crew at Nurburgring Fernando Alonso qualified only eighth on the grid for the German Formula One Grand Prix but the Spaniard looked on the bright side of a sunny Saturday, trusting in Ferrari strategy to make up places in the race. The double champion is second behind Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel after eight of 19 races of the 2013 season, and his chances of cutting the 21-point gap on Sunday looked remote after the German triple titleholder and current champion qualifed second. Lewis Hamilton took pole for Mercedes, a hefty 1.811 seconds ahead of Alonso. However, the Ferraris have fared much better in races than on Saturdays this season. Alonso fought his way up to third at the British Grand Prix last weekend having started ninth. He will try similar heroics in Vettel's German backyard after Ferrari made a deliberate strategic call not to fight for pole position and start the Spaniard instead on the longer-lasting Medium tyres rather than the quicker Softs. Fernando Alonso will start eighth "We took a decision thinking only [of] the race" said team principal Stefano Domenicali. Alonso told his 1.7 million followers on Twitter that he was confident. "Good quali today! If we have good pace tomorrow, the different strategy we have chosen should help to recover good positions! Lets do it!," he wrote. Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery said that the call opened up good possibilities. "The Soft tyre was definitely the tyre to qualify on but those who start the race on the medium tyre might be able to gain track position when the soft tyre runners come in for their first stop earlier than them," he said. "We're expecting most people to stop twice, with the emphasis on the Medium tyre during the race." Earlier, Alonso told reporters in the Ferrari motorhome that the Italian team had made a step forward. "There is no doubt we are more competitive than we were at Silverstone," he said. "We have come back to a more normal level of competitiveness but we need to improve [more], no questions about that. We are at least more confident." Fernando Alonso confident of a good showing in the race Alonso has won twice this season but has not started on the front row of the grid since Germany last July, when the race was held at Hockenheim. The Nurburgring can often be unseasonably cool due to the hills which surround the famous track but any hopes which Alonso might have had of rain bunching up the pack look doomed to disappoint. The sunshine suited his bullish mood, especially when it came to driver safety after Pirelli's new tyres performed well during practice and qualifying. Alonso was nearly hit on the helmet by a flying piece of tread at Silverstone last weekend when multiple tyre blow-outs caused chaos and led to most drivers warning that they would pull out of Sunday's German race if the same happened again. "The tyres are still behaving well, I mean safe, with not any problems…so tomorrow, fingers crossed, it will be still the same," said Alonso, who was outqualified by team mate Felipe Massa in seventh and Toro Rosso's emerging talent Daniel Ricciardo in a heady sixth. "There are not any signs that there will be any problems so that is the best news of the weekend." (Reuters) Subbed by AJN.

Are Social Media Driving the Arab Spring?
A first major report on the use of social media in by Arab Spring protesters has been released by the Dubai School of Government. It is now clearer than ever that social network usage trends and impacts are growing across the MENA.
To examine the role of social media in the Arab Spring, we also interview Sarah Abdurrahman, Sonia Verma, Brian Stewart and Jillian York – all participants in the Munk School's panel discussion, Tweeting The Arab Revolution. And Ben Rowswell introduces a lecture on the use of technology in the promotion of democracy.
Sarah Abdurrahman, Sonia Verma, Brian Stewart and Jillian York discuss Twitter and the Arab Spring:
Ben Rowswell on technology's use for democracy promotion and the future of diplomacy:
After demonstrating the dramatic impact that social media can have on political change, Egyptians have turned their country into a laboratory of political innovation. As they experiment with combinations of online and traditional tools to mobilize citizens, they are turning the notion of democracy promotion on its head: instead of the West teaching the rest about democracy, Egyptians are now the ones doing the teaching.
Over the past several months, I have led an initiative called Cloud to Street, which seeks to capture these lessons and equip Egyptian activists with tools to extend their reach beyond the internet. We argue that the international community can best support the democratic transition in Egypt by setting aside Western-centric models and embrace an "open-source" approach to democracy promotion. Below is lecture that I recently gave on technology and the Egyptian revolution for the Canadian Political Science Association.

Taylor Swift Performs In London
[lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Taylor Swift[/lastfm] had a very busy past week! With being named BMI Country Songwriter of the Year to performing at the CMA Awards, she continued her week with a trip to London for the BBC Radio 1's Teen Awards! Don't worry if you missed her performance because we've got video and photos! Plus the latest rumors on the new romance in her life!
Taylor was scheduled to be in London to perform at the awards show on Sunday, but there are rumors that her new flame, Jake Gyllenhaal who was already in London promoting his new film Love and Other Drugs, flew the songstress out early to have a romantic weekend together!
A source says "Jake wanted some quality time with Taylor. If he hadn't done this, they would have missed each other as he had to fly back to the States. He hired a jet which would easily have set him back £100,000."
To end the romantic weekend, Taylor headed off to perform a couple new hits, "Speak Now" and "Mine," along with favorite "Love Story" at the BBC award show.

Sin of omission in a Catholic press story?
Catholic News Service just picked up an interesting story from the Rockford, Illinois diocesan newspaper about the efforts of alums of a local Catholic high school to connect with Philomena Lee, the Irish woman on whose heartbreaking story the Oscar-nominated movie Philomena was based.
According to the CNS article, the alums of Boylan Central Catholic High School are seeking "to help a mom know her son" by sharing their memories of him. For that purpose they have created a new website, photosforphilomena.com.
As viewers of the popular movie know, when she was a teenager, Lee became pregnant and was sent to a convent, where she gave birth and then spent three years working in the laundry room. Lee's son, Anthony, at age 3, was torn from her and, against her will, given up for adoption to an American family.
Anthony became Michael Hess and grew up in the Midwest, eventually attending Catholic grade school and Boylan High in Rockford. He would later go on to graduate from the University of Notre Dame, and he eventually became chief legal counsel to the Republican National Committee. His birth mother, Philomena, never saw him again.
What strikes me as pretty strange about the account in the CNS story—and the original article in The Observer, the newspaper of the Diocese of Rockford—is that it never even mentions a very poignant part of the story that figures prominently both in the movie and in the book on which it is based: namely that Hess was gay (although he didn't publicly acknowledge the fact), and that he died of complications of AIDS at age 43.
Admittedly, the article was not a biographical profile of Michael Hess, but one really has to wonder if that omission was just an innocent "oversight" or if, in this day and age, it is still too much to ask of a diocesan newspaper—and Catholic News Service—editors to report such very basic and important facts?
As both the movie and the book recounted, Philomena "didn't bat an eyelid" at the fact that her son was gay, but it seems that some Catholic editors still feel that's too much for their readers to handle.

GamesRadar Review of Ratatouille
If you haven't noticed - it's summer, a time where movie theatres get big-budget actionganzas and your console goes through a bit of a dry spell. Unless you want to start tapping that pile of games you swore you'd get to by now, you can always sniff around for the latest, potentially awful film tie-in starring emo spider-men, ambiguous pirates or… a French rat that cooks? Ratatouille - the latest Pixar anthropomorphic animal flick - bucks this trend and offers a solid platformer that doesn't feel like Disney's trying to rape your wallet.
Playing as bi-pedal rat, Remy, you'll traverse sewers, markets and restaurant kitchens in order to help your family find grub, and assist a nerdy Frenchman in becoming a better chef. Each section of the game is broken up into missions that help your fellow rat get one step closer to fine cuisine such as finding a coin to distract a human, disabling rat traps or stealing a key to open a food locker.
While the pathways to your goals are linear, it never feels too distracting because you'll often traverse much of the wide-open level in order to reach your destination. Need to shut off the gas main? Just sprint past the crabs, evade the cooks by hiding under tin cans, climb up the broom handle, swing on the hooks, grab the umbrella… and it goes on. The constant "A to B to C" missions do get repetitious, but there's so much variety, it's almost a platforming dream.

Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme Online
- FORS workshops
- FORS workshops calendar
- Policy list
In 2012 there were 14 cyclist fatalities in London, with 5 involving Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), including skip or tipper trucks, which highlights the urgent need to reduce the dangers posed by HGVs to cyclists in London.
TfL is committed to improving the safety of all Vulnerable Road Users on London`s roads, and as such have implemented an organisation wide initiative to ensure that all businesses working for or on behalf of TfL take measures to improve the safety of their vehicles. It is now mandatory for all new and existing contracts, for contractors and their sub-contractors who deliver to a TfL premises or site to adopt these Work Related Road Risk cycle safety requirements.
Failure to meet these requirements could result in vehicles being turned away from site and could be considered a breach of contract, resulting in the contract being terminated.
This section of the FORS website provides information on these new contractual requirements, vehicle safety equipment guidance and FAQs surrounding cycle safety and freight in London.
If an operator is not FORS or similar they have 90 days to achieve bronze accreditation
Before the contractor starts they will have to ensure all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes have:
- Have Side Guards fitted, unless it can be demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Employer, that the Lorry will not perform the function, for which it was built, if Side Guards are fitted
- Have a close proximity warning system fitted comprising: a front-mounted, rear-facing CCTV camera with in-cab live feed from the said camera or a Fresnel Lens where the Fresnel Lens provides a reliable alternative to the CCTV camera and where the Operator has obtained the Authority's approval to use the Fresnel Lens, which approval the Authority may withhold in its unfettered discretion; and a Close Proximity Sensor
- Have a Class VI Mirror
- Bear prominent signage on the rear of the vehicle to warn cyclists of the dangers of passing the vehicle on the inside
Before commencing to work on the contract each driver who works on the contract will have had a driving licence check with the DVLA and will have their licence rechecked on a regular basis.
Undertakes the Safe Urban Driving (SUD) Approved Driver Training course within 60 days of the Contract Date unless they have undertaken such SUD Training in the last three years. This includes the on-cycle hazard awareness training. Please see the Approved Driver Training link at the bottom of this page for further details of SUD training.
Each driver will satisfactorily complete a FORS e-learning Work Related Road Safety module (or an approved equivalent safety module) at least every 12 months. From the 5th April 2013, anyone can register to complete the eLearning modules and receive a certificate on their successful completion.
