WILMINGTON—UNC Wilmington has embarked on a journey to create a sustainable business ecosystem in Southeastern North Carolina similar to that at Research Triangle Park.
Thursday, the university brought together consultants and community leaders to discuss this new endeavor. It was a homecoming for local business owner Justin Queen.
The 2004 graduate started two digital marketing agencies that now employ eight to ten people.
"It's takes a lot of mentorship and a lot of guidance to be able to cross the valley of hard times that you hit when you start a new company," said Queen.
Queen said that is why he is proud to be a part of UNCW's push to improve the Entrepreneurship Center and create a business ecosystem. Thursday, the university shared their goal with around 80 business, government, and community leaders.
"We have the education part and we have the part where we want to be part of the economic development activities in this region," said Chancellor Gary Miller.
In order to get a start on the project, UNCW reached out to the founder of Bootstrap Austin Bijoy Goswami. He shared his perspective on how to build a strong business environment by looking at it as journey that starts at the community's roots.
"A lot of the times we kind of tend to look outside, 'What are the other places doing.' That's a very valuable thing but there are certain things that can't deliver. So when you try to look inward then you actually discover new ways of doing things and you find your way of doing things which is more powerful and more sustainable," said Goswami.
The university also partnered with company to create an asset map. It's a one stop resource shop for business people.
"It tells us what sort of assets we have in various categories for entrepreneurs and businesses to use to develop, grow, to get started, " said Miller. Queen said the university got the conversation started, now he's ready to help make the ecosystem a reality.
"You feel sort of indebted to the mentorship that you were given early on to help other people," said Queen.
Recently, UNCW brought a new building to house the Entrepreneurship Center. Their goal is to make it self-sustaining.

Author: Jesús Molino - Diver and Deck coordinator
Date: April 30, 2012
We started the day with a ROV at not much depth. Our initial idea was to send the ROV to check whether the area might be worth it, as the ROV can remain at the bottom for as long as necessary. The area was worth it, and how! After a few hours' filming, we put on our diving suits and jumped off the Hanse Explorer into these cold waters. The sea bed is covered in brittlestars (small starfish) and some scattered rocks, on which we found many hands of St Peter, nudibranchs, and some edible crabs.
The ROV remained at the bottom while we dived, so we could watch it work underwater. Now, when I look at the screen and see what is being recorded, the image comes into my mind of our little, lonely robot moving with its lights like eyes, below 100 m, exploring the sea bed for us and sending to the surface the images that can be seen on the web and which scientists examine over and over seeking new species or trying to identify new species to document them.

First off, this is blade tape. This is blade tape available on the Vancouver 2010 Olympics Website, in the hockey section, full of pins and other grandma-esque collectibles. The blade tape sells for $14.99. They say those are green maple leaves on said blade tape. I call bullshit.
Image test!
I think we all know which is which. I think we all know what those Canadians are tryin' to pull. Hippies.

Its the motto apparently "HaHa. It's legal(er) here."
Why do I feel like we're going to show up and it'll really be a barter fair?
Wonder if the bobsleds will look like bongs to stick with the theme?
Why do I feel the need to shop for Olympic gear now?

Esquire Presents Me in My Place with Elisabeth Moss
The latest in a series of intimate moments with beautiful women in their own homes, in their own clothes (most of 'em, anyway), at their invitation. Come on in.
Photographs by MeInMyPlace.com /// Interview by Mark Mikin
But First, a Joke! (And Another Joke Down There)
Two cannibals were eating dinner. One said, "I really hate my sister." The other said, "Well, just eat the noodles."
About the Jokester:
Elisabeth Moss may have a confidence problem. Before she got the role as Peggy Olson, the secretary-turned-copywriter on AMC's Mad Men, she was Elisabeth Moss, the president's daughter on The West Wing. Before that she was Elisabeth Moss, sitting in a room, competing against the star of her favorite show: "I remember Danica McKellar Winnie on The Wonder Years was in the waiting room at one of my West Wing auditions," the 29-year-old says. "I thought, There's no way I'm getting this." But Moss got the job and after seven successful seasons, landed Mad Men. It took a while for the success of the show to sink in. "When Jon [Hamm] won the Golden Globe that first year, I thought, This is actually happening. People are actually watching." It's probably time she moved on from the demure phase of her career. We're glad we can help with that.

The design/build architects of Raleigh, N.C.–based Tonic Design are big on the synergies afforded by their way of producing buildings. Interweaving design and construction creates opportunities for improvisation, says principal designer Vincent Petrarca. "It's like jazz." The LEED for Homes–certified GREENville House in Greenville, N.C., demonstrates the power of such synergies, not only between design and construction, but also between modernism and sustainability.
The owners envisioned the house as an alternative model for their architecturally conservative community, Petrarca says. They favored modernist design, "and they had researched solar and geothermal from the beginning." They also planned the house as a long-term family residence, and one of their requirements—children's bedrooms on the second floor—influenced the building's pinwheel-like footprint. The two-story section "creates a lot of shadow," Petrarca notes. To maximize solar exposure, "the building stretches away from itself." Petrarca and project designer Katherine Hogan developed a system of aluminum rooftop "trays" that support photovoltaic and solar thermal panels and turn down at the roof's edge for window shading. (Solar thermal collectors supply the house's hot water; when completed, the photovoltaic array is projected to meet 60 percent of its electrical load.) The house's low-maintenance shell combines brick-, red cedar-, and zinc-cladding in an interlocking composition that blurs traditional distinctions among foundation, walls, and roof.
Features such as sustainably harvested woods, a geothermal heat pump HVAC system, and rainwater harvesting presented a learning opportunity for subcontractors unfamiliar with LEED—or with the EPA's Energy Star and Indoor Air Plus programs, with which the project also complied. "Our cabinetmaker will now offer, to us and to any other customer, a 'LEED option' with low-VOC finishes and sustainable woods," Hogan reports. "The HVAC company, the plumber, the landscape installer … everyone who worked on the project can now say they've done a LEED house. It becomes transformative."
Building tastes reflect our times. When developers and designers plan to recreate the...

The Red Sea is the most northerly body of warm, water in the world, and the closest to Europe. The gulfs of Suez and Aqaba contain the most northerly tropical Coral Reefs on Earth. These reefs – themselves a wonder of nature - house and nurture an exotic eco system of life whose diversity and richness, volume and variety, and COLOUR are difficult to fully appreciate without being seen in real life.
And that's where Egypt Sunmarine (ESM) comes in.
We are the largest, most reputable and well-established sea trip provider in Egypt. Over 20 years we have forged strong working relationships with all major international and local tour operators and travel agencies.
We are proud to say that our reputation for Quality and Service delivered at great Value For Money has made us the leading provider of marine excursions in Egypt for holiday makers seeking to experience the unmissable underwater wonders of the Red Sea in luxury and comfort, and the number one choice of reputable tour operators seeking to offer their guests the best.
Our Fleet of around 25 sparkling immaculate white modern luxury motor cruisers, 16 Sea Scope semi-submarines (yellow of course!) and two traditional twin-masted sailing boats is the largest in the Red Sea. Whilst the main hubs are Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada, we operate also out of Taba, Dahab, Safaga, Makady Bay, El Gouna, Soma Bay, Marsa Alam and Ain Sukhna.

The SocialCoast Wish List. One day, we would like,
- a projector and screen
- a megaphone
- a SocialCoast Banner
- more First Aid kits
- walkie-talkies
- propane stoves for large groups
- cooking gear
- PA and microphones
- money
SocialCoast inspires a culture of activism in the place we call home by promoting, supporting, and celebrating local grassroots community organizing.
Our goal is to contribute to the growth and health of this community by inspiring people to engage in activities that contribute to the overall welfare of the communities we live in. We believe that responsible and thoughtful engagement in our actions is the best way to cause positive, long lasting change in the place we inhabit everyday.
By encouraging a welcoming, informed and even fun atmosphere leading up to and during our actions, we hope to demystify the elements of activism that tend to discourage those who would otherwise happily join us in the enterprise of hope and optimism. With this in mind, our other constant aim is to drive forward with utter sincerity, determination, and enthusiasm.
In our organizing, we work to reveal systemic oppression and inequalities through the fight for environmental, social, and economic justice. We organize with people and groups who are sustaining a community principled on equality, autonomy, and compassion.
How we do it:
At SocialCoast, we are building a foundation for local grassroots organizing based upon three strategies:
A sense of responsibility begins with a relationship. Through the promotion of grassroots organizing and community interests, we begin to connect people with a culture of activism. That connection becomes the bridge that impassions people to respond to each other's needs, and the needs of the world around them. From the heart, we work to build capacity by promoting a culture where obedience is not assumed.
Diversity is our strength; our communities become healthier when able to support one another. The process of collaborative organizing is a delicate process that requires humility, respect, and patience. Without collaboration, there is no support for diversity; without diversity, there is no grassroots activism. In our organizing we are dedicated to collaborations amongst communities, ideologies, people, and places.
When actions are direct, they become an opportunity to empower those who are involved. We focus on creating a positive alternative to the things we criticize most, and focus on building the capacity to mobilize in the future. Every action we take is a celebration of our community, and the victories are a celebration of our effectiveness.

Here is my, ahem, quite modest attempt from a few years ago…
Yah. That upper-lip hair has gotten to be a problem.
There have been many wonderful breakthroughs in hair removal. I haven't tried NoNo, but it's on my wish-list.
Hey - I'm middle-aged, too. Happens to the best of us.
In the Anglican spirit of compromise…..
#14, it's Justin Welby who should be nervous. Perhaps the Bishop of Rome, as well.
She'll do everything within her power to make Bp, Welby her puppet. The first time he yields to her, she will become the de facto Archbishop of Canterbury.
Her overall strategy would be to bring about schism in the Church of England, and force the GAFCON folks to split from the Anglican Communion, leaving a liberal (albeit small) remnant that she can rule.
Such is the nature of totalitarian despotism. Adolf wasn't content to be Fuehrer of Germany. That wasn't enough.
This isn't the Wicked Witch of the West or Elvira Gulch in action. If we don't feel comfortable with comparisons to Germany of the 1930's then one might observe that it's like Klingsor and Kundry.
This is spiritual warfare, writ large.
"My ego can handle that ", priceless, David.
And I can see her assimilating the Obamameister into her regime, they would do well (hell) together. Just what they both want. And the sycophants who follow would soon see what the rest of us have been resisting for the past thirty years.
Peter Ould,
Cindy T, Ohh so true, Perfect Snarkster opportunity! Miss his wit!!
What many may not know is that the Diocese has a relationship with the Citadel. So if anyone were to try to send in troops, we are probably the only diocese that can call on young Marines to defend us!

From the National Shooting Sports Foundation
-- The upward trend in firearms sales continued in April, marking the sixth consecutive month of significant increases.
Data released by the FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) reported 1,225,980 checks in April 2009. This figure is a 30.3 percent increase from the 940,961 reported in April 2008.
FBI background checks are required under federal law for all individuals purchasing either new or used firearms from federally licensed retailers. The checks serve as a gauge of actual sales but do not reflect the actual number of firearms sold, since, following a background check, a customer may decide not to purchase a firearm or may purchase more than one firearm.
The April increase follows a 29.2 percent gain in March and rises of 23 percent in February, 28 percent in January, 24 percent in December and 42 percent in November when a record 1,529,635 background checks were performed.
The increase in NICS checks coincides with a rise in excise taxes reported by firearms manufacturers, another indicator of firearm sales.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- With the release of the AP Top 25 poll on Sunday, Tennessee received its first national ranking since the first week of the 2008 season, coming in at No. 23 with 177 votes.
The last time the Vols were ranked was in the 2008 preseason AP Poll, when UT was 18th prior to losing to UCLA in the season opener. This week's ranking snaps a stretch of 64 consecutive weeks in which it was not ranked.
The Big Orange also received 71 votes in this week's USA Today Coaches Poll, placing them fourth among teams receiving votes and 29th overall.
In the most recent AP Poll, six SEC teams are currently ranked in the top 25 with four in the top 10. The USA Today Coaches Poll also has six SEC teams among its top-25. Three additional SEC teams received votes in one or both polls this week as well. Here is a rundown of the SEC teams in the two polls:
Team (AP/USA Today)
Alabama (1/1)
Georgia (7/7)
South Carolina (8/9)
Florida (18/17)
Arkansas (RV/21)
Mississippi State (RV/RV)
Ole Miss (-/RV) Texas A&M (-/RV)

Lying on the eastern coast of Spain, the Costa Blanca draws millions of tourists each year to its turquoise waters and miles of white sandy beaches. Alicante is the capital and major city on this stretch of coast, but it is Benidorm that attracts the most visitors and this is the place to go for those looking for a lively and entertaining holiday with hundreds of bars and all-night clubs catering mainly for British tourists.
Apartments for sale in Alicante
Villas for sale in Alicante
Golf in Alicante
Rural Properties and farmhouses in Alicante
However there is more to the Costa Blanca than crowded beach resorts – within the mountainous interior are a series of fascinating medieval towns and fortified villages which have been largely unaffected by modern development.

Room for her granddaughters
Velma Dorsey grew up in Annapolis on Edgewood Road. She had two boys and now wants to provide a home for her granddaughters Tamara Ireland, 16, and Kara, 13. Dorsey rents on Pleasant Street in the Clay Street community, but she doesn't have enough room for three people.
Dorsey learned about Habitat for Humanity from her friend Terry Morgan, who was working on her Habitat house on Clay Street.
"I need something to call my own instead of paying rent to other people," Dorsey said. "I want somewhere for my grandchildren to live and be safe, a place I can leave them when I'm gone."
Dorsey is a caretaker for an elderly woman in the Annapolis community. She has also worked as a health aide and with disabled children. She has her day care license and is considering the possibility of running her own day care center.
When asked what she does for fun, Dorsey answers enthusiastically: "I go to church, and I visit with my mother. I love to dance, but I don't like to go to clubs. Mostly, I like to be outdoors, swimming or water-skiing. I take the girls on picnics to the parks, and we take little day trips."
It is easy to see that Velma finds joy and inspiration in her own family.

Someone, (I forget who) once said that life is like a raucous cocktail party during which all those present try hard not to notice a sniper is picking off the guests one by one.
If there is a single black threat that runs through our waking hours, a skin-crawling dread we suppress during the bustle of our workaday lives, it is the knowledge that death is roaring towards us like an oncoming train. This knowledge hits big-time when you reach middle age and learn via social media that the first of your school friends, one of those smiling cherubic faces in your old class picture, has fallen to illness.

These questions were the guideposts the Los Alamos Public Schools used in its latest "Five Year, Facilities Master Plan Update," the annual document that's required by the Public School Facilities Authority and the the Public School Capital Outlay Council, if the district wants to remain eligible to receive funding assistance from the state for its capital building projects.
The report was presented to the board by Sayre Gerhart, a senior facility planner with Architectural Research Consultants, an Albuquerque firm hired by the district and the school board through the PSFA to carry out this year's assessment of the district's 2015-2020 plan.
Information for the report was gathered between April and August.

Don, K1IN aka KN8NIN, K8NIN and WA1HNI.
Don became a Novice Class ham in 1958 as KN8NIN in West Virginia. After he became K8NIN, Bob Nixon, one of his high school electronics teachers, sold him this tower and the aircraft prop pitch motor that you see here, which rotated the Hornet Tribander antenna. Yes, threading the beam up between the power lines was tricky. The tower now resides at the QTH of K1EBY in CT.
Don still appreciates the contributions that his mother and father made so that he could work another new country.
K1IN pounding brass with the Vibroplex bug while DXing during the 1970's. And yes, he loved his vintage Collins 75A4. Don took a break from building his shack in CT to operate in a DX contest.
K1IN, operates W1AW at ARRL HQ during a 1990 DX event. Eddy, Chief Station Operator for W1AW, is standing in the background. This DX'ing special event was sponsored by Scottish amateur radio hams, as they commemorated their renown poet Robert Burns.
Don, sits with Dick, KB1H. KB1H is a Multi-Multi Contest Station located in Killingly, CT.
Don and Frank, K1EBY, are CTDXA members who operated at KB1H during the CQ World-Wide DX CW Contest in 2003. This Contest Station made 6,287 QSOs for 13.8 million points.
Claude, N1CAE, CTDXA VP, operated at KB1H during the CQ WW DX SSB weekend.

Cubs will bring in experts to give conduct seminars
By GORDON WITTENMYER email@example.com February 18, 2012 9:10PM
Starlin Castro, shortstop, waves to the crowd as he is introduced as part of the 2012 Chicago Cubs team Friday evening at Chicago Hilton and Towers. 720 S. Michigan. Friday, January 13, 2012 | Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Updated: March 20, 2012 8:25AM
MESA, Ariz. — In the wake of sexual-assault allegations against shortstop Starlin Castro, the Cubs plan to bring in experts from Northeastern University's Center for Sport in Society to speak to minor-leaguers and big-leaguers about conduct away from the ballpark.
The seminars are part of an organizational overhaul, including the creation of a ''Cubs Way'' manual for staff, under the new front-office regime.
''They've had a lot of experience dealing with professional athletes,'' Cubs president Theo Epstein said of Northeastern's center, ''just giving them the right tools to deal with situations off the field, emphasizing not only the right decisions to make but the right values with which to conduct our careers and themselves off the field.''
Nearly five months after a Chicago woman accused Castro, 21, of assault, and more than a month after police questioned Castro for several hours, no charges have been filed against him. His representatives have vehemently denied any wrongdoing.
''I know there's been full cooperation from every end,'' Epstein said. ''I expect Starlin in camp. He's getting ready for the season. I don't expect it to be a distraction.''
Epstein said he expects to get an update ''at some point'' from authorities, but he has heard nothing more since he talked about it at the Cubs Convention last month.
''It's too sensitive an issue; I don't want to speculate,'' Epstein said. ''What we said at the convention stands. There's a lot of concern about it, and our players have a responsibility to conduct themselves in the right way off the field as well as on the field.''
That's where Northeastern's experts come in.
''I think sometimes we take for granted these young kids, because they're great at what they do on the field, that they know how to handle all the tough circumstances on and off the field,'' Epstein said. ''We coach them on the field and expect them to just make great decisions off the field. We need to give them great coaching off the field and give them the tools to make the right decisions.
''I don't want to get into great detail about what we tell these guys off the field, but there are high standards. The 'Cubs Way' means high standards on the field and off the field. There's got to be accountability wearing this uniform.''

Name Change: The Office of Research Integrity
Peter Alfonso, Vice President of Research and Economic Development approved a name change for the Office of Research Compliance within the Division of Research of Research and Economic Development. The office will now operate as the Office of Research Integrity (ORI).
The functions of the office, such as operating the Institutional Review Board, the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), the Conflict of Interest Management Committee (CIMC), along with efforts in Research Misconduct, Export Control, Responsible Conduct in Research, and Dive Safety, will remain the same. However, the new name more accurately reflects the University of Rhode Island's efforts and responsibility to ensure integrity and ethical practice in the conduct of research.
The foundation of research integrity is compliance with federal and state regulations and guidelines, but research integrity encompasses goals that go beyond compliance. As defined by the National Research Council of the National Academies (2002), integrity in research includes a range of good research practice and conduct, including:
The new URI Office of Research Integrity (ORI) hopes to serve URI investigators by assisting in regulatory oversight management of sponsored research, while at the same time, reinforce the principle that quality research requires adherence to the highest standards of integrity in proposing, conducting, and reporting research.

Meet the New Director
It has been about seven months since I have been leading the University of Rhode Island Office Of Research Integrity. Prior to joining URI, I was part of the Office of Research Compliance at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA. The goal of the position of Director of Research Compliance is to coordinate research compliance activities, including the Institutional Review Board (IRB), the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), the Institutional BioSafety Committee (IBC), and the Conflict of Interest Management Committee.
As you know, I inherited a very dedicated and capable office staff, including Mary Riedford, Jean Gentile and Tammy Chambers. Together, we hope to serve your needs as best we can. In the coming months you will see changes from the Office of Research Compliance, including a new name for the office, new forms; new policies and processes; an updated, more user friendly website; and our new email newsletter with information for targeted groups. The goal of all these initiatives is to try to serve the research community as best we can. We hope to reduce the administrative burden on investigators while ensuring the integrity of the research, remaining compliant with Federal and State regulations, and meeting our obligations to the funding agencies.
As we being this process, I want to encourage you to contact me with any comments or suggestions you have for improvement of our Office's function. I am always available to meet with you at your convenience. And do please review future email newsletters when they arrive in your in-box. We plan to tailor articles specific to the type of research you conduct.
Thank you for the warm welcome here at URI. Best Regards, Ted
Exempt, Expedited and Full Board IRB Review: What Does It Mean For Me?
The U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) and U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations specify Human Subjects Research in three categories of Institutional Review Board (IRB) review: exempt review, expedited review and full board review. The category of review that your research falls into greatly impacts the turnaround time required for the IRB review and the continuing oversight required by the investigator.
Exempt Review
Although the category is called "exempt," the determination of exemption per URI Institutional Review Board (IRB) policy must be made by IRB staff. Exempt research are projects that meet specific federal criteria and fall into one of the six categories of Exempt research as described in section 46.101(b) of 45 CFR 46. Some examples of Exempt research are: 1) anonymous surveys or interviews, 2) passive observation of public behavior without collection of subject identifiers, 3) retrospective chart reviews, and 4) analyses of discarded pathological specimens without patient identifiers. Exempt projects are different from Expedited or Full Board review in that they are not assigned an expiration date, do not have to undergo continuing review and are but must undergo IRB approval for changes to the original protocol.
Expedited Review
Expedited Review means that the review can be done by the IRB Chair or a qualified IRB reviewer rather than at a convened IRB meeting. To be considered eligible for Expedited Review, the research must (1) present no more than minimal risk to human subjects, and must fall into one or more of six (6) federally-defined expedited categories. The Expedited Review procedure may not be used where identification of the subjects and/or their responses would reasonably place them at risk of criminal or civil liability or be damaging to the subjects' financial standing, employability, insurability, reputation, or be stigmatizing, unless reasonable and appropriate protections will be implemented so that risks related to invasion of privacy and breach of confidentiality are no greater than minimal.
Like Full Board Review, expedited projects are assigned expiration dates, undergo annual continuing review, and changes to the project must be reviewed by the IRB. However, since the review is conducted internally within the IRB office, the approvals are done in a rolling process and therefore the turnaround time is shorter than waiting for a Full Board Review.
Full Board Review
If the research is not eligible for either exempt for expedited review, the research will be reviewed by the full board of the IRB. Full board review means that the research is reviewed at convened meetings at which a majority of the members of the IRB are present. As required by the HHS and FDA regulation, the URI IRB is composed faculty members with both scientific and nonscientific backgrounds and a public member that does not have any affiliation with the IRB. The URI IRB meets monthly; deadlines for submission are two weeks prior to the meeting date.
Biosafety Oversight For Laboratory Research Involving Infectious Agents, Recombinant DNA, or Human or Nonhuman Primate Blood, Tissues, or Cell Lines
Institutions that receive funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for research involving recombinant DNA (rDNA), are required to comply with the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules (NIH Guidelines). A core requirement of the NIH Guidelines is for institutions to constitute an Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which is a committee of URI faculty, staff, and community members not affiliated with URI. Compliance with the NIH Guidelines is a requirement irrespective of the source of funding.
The mission of the IBC, which works closely with URI Office of Safety and Risk, is to promote safety and minimize the risks of performing biological research to URI investigators, study participants, the community, and the environment by providing scientific review and oversight to Biological Research at URI. The IBC has defined biological research to include research involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acids, infectious agents, select biological toxins, or human or nonhuman primate blood, tissues or cell lines. Any investigators utilizing these materials must submit a registration form to the IBC for review and approval prior to commencing work with these materials.
While the IBC at URI has been in existence for a number of years, the Office of Research Integrity has recently updated the IBC Governance and Operating Policy and developed new forms for submitting information to the IBC. As part of the new IBC policy, the Office of Research Integrity will be reaching out to investigators that last updated their IBC registrations prior to 2008 to submit a new registration document to the IBC as it is a best practice to re-review approved registration at least every five years. If you have any questions about the IBC, visit the Office of Research Integrity website or contact Ted Myatt, Sc.D., Director of Research Integrity at firstname.lastname@example.com.

URI Research & Innovation Showcase
Research and innovation at the University of Rhode Island was in the spotlight April 10, 2013 at an event that showcased the intellectual productivity of students and faculty and demonstrated how that work can contribute to economic development.
A panel discussion "Forming Your Own Company: Tales from the Experts" featured comments from URI professors Patricia Burbank, Annie De Groot and Judith Swift, as well as Christina Khoo, manager of research sciences at Ocean Spray.
Among the projects included were research on therapies for epilepsy, global trade analysis training, communal education programs in indigenous communities in Mexico, early brain development, health monitoring of beluga whales, and many more. Individuals invited to present their research were:
-- Faculty who have received awards from the Council for Research for Proposal Development and Career Enhancement;
-- Graduate Students who have received awards from the Graduate School for Enhancement of Graduate Research;
-- Undergraduate Students who received awards from the Council for Research for the Undergraduate Research Initiative;
-- Research and Intellectual Property Excellence Awards Recipients.
"This event is a well deserved recognition of the scholarly activities taking place here at the University of Rhode Island by some of the institution's researchers, from undergraduate students to senior faculty. We will also highlight some of our faculty's efforts in commercializing the various products that stem from their research programs," said Alfonso, the coordinator of the event. "It will enable everyone on campus and in the community to see what important work is being done here and stimulate collaboration across disciplines on campus and with the business community around the region. It's really a showcase for the big thinking that is taking place at URI." One highlight of the program will be a display of posters from 1 to 3 p.m. in the URI Memorial Union ballroom on the Kingston campus featuring examples of the best scholarly and creative work being done in URI's eight major academic units, from science and engineering to health and the humanities. Exhibitors were selected from among the faculty, graduate students and undergraduate students who received funding from the University for their research in 2012.
The University of Rhode Island held the annual Excellence Awards Ceremony on May 14. The joint award celebration was organized by the URI Division of Research and Economic Development, the URI Research Foundation, and the URI Foundation.
The URI Division of Research and Economic Development recognized individuals with research excellence awards. The recipients, recommended for the awards by their mentors or peers, were selected by the URI Council for Research. In addition to a citation and framed certificate, faculty members received $1,000, post-doctoral and graduate students received $500, and undergraduate students received $250.

"System and Method for Maintaining Redundant Storages Coherent Using Sliding Windows of Eager Execution Transactions"
RI NSF EPSCoR
High Schools Tour Bay Campus Facilities
On any given day, groups of schoolchildren from around Rhode Island and neighboring states are reaping the benefits of all the Bay Campus has to offer through collaborative efforts by various programs.
In just one of many examples, the graduating seniors from Green School of Exeter spent their Senior Day, April 27, here, participating in a variety of educational programs.
Maryann Scholl of the Coastal Institute explains that the daylong event featured volcano investigation, looking at volcano flows and explosions, underwater robots that study submarine volcanoes, and oceanographic geology.
For the biology angle, Scholl turned the students over to Marine Science Research Facility Director Ed Baker. "Ed walks them around, gives them a tour of the aquarium and talks about the research that goes on there," Scholl says. "The aquarium has been a very big hit."
Scholl works in outreach through the Coastal Institute. Rhode Island NSF Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) largely funds the aquarium.
Describing what the students see with him on aquarium tours, Baker says he shows off the smoothound sharks, talks about the importance of filter feeders in the marine ecosystem and explores the important connections and relationships within the ecosystem.
In a typical talk, Baker explains the role of filter feeders in cleaning the water and how they provide better light penetration, which is good for eel grass beds, and what that means for young fish seeking food and a safe haven from predators.
Baker also tells students about flounder metamorphosis, how the fish starts out like any other and then one eye migrates to the other side of the head so they can assume a benthic life as a raptorial predator where they lay in wait for unsuspecting prey to swim by. And, he relates to the students about hypoxic events in Narragansett Bay and what they mean in terms of water quality and fish kills.
For many Rhode Island students, the Bay Campus trip can be the first time they enjoy marine science hands-on rather than in a school classroom. The information they hear may not be new, but the on-site visit brings the lessons to life and generates excitement, particularly the sharks.
In addition to the Green School tour, Baker will talk to groups from a Connecticut high school and La Salle Academy of Providence.
From an outreach perspective, joining forces with different programs gives the visiting students a value-added experience that showcases the best of the Bay Campus.

The Vikings released today the new updated logo – check out the slight changes below:
"The enhanced mark strongly upholds the tradition and history of the Norseman," said Jeff Anderson, director of corporate communications, in a news release.
Five elements of the Norseman have been changed:
– The horn shape was changed to make the logo less tall, and shading was changed along the lower part of the horn.
– The horn base now resembles the horn on the players' helmets.
– The face is now more detailed, with thicker lines added to the mustache and face, more clearly defining its features.
– The Vikings gold color is now brighter and less brassy.
– The braid has been shortened, reducing logo height.

Where I sometimes get frustrated (and unfortunately I do think it shows in my posts sometimes ) is when people use the most convoluted math to try to justify their decisions. We've seen people over inflate the real costs of staying at Deluxes; ignore maintenance fees in their calculations; use how much they pay for a 7 night stay in a 2BR and comparing it to a 160 point purchase (enough for 3-4 nights, not 7); and the best of all, take how much they spend on an entire Disney vacation (including lodging, transportation, tickets, food, etc.) and using that to say that they would save money by buying DVC because they would've spent that in X years anyway. They are free to think whatever they like, but what worries me is that readers of that post who are researching DVC might read that information, take it as accurate and act on it. Quite frankly, I have a lot of respect for your position (not that what I think should matter to you ) because you're not altering facts to justify your decision. You simply said that you live every other aspect of your financial life responsibly, and you want to have a little fun and finance the purchase. Although I disagree with the decision, I can respect it, and I think that's what healthy debate is all about.
The second point you made that is so true is that we don't know each other's financial situations. So at best our advice is a generalization that may or may not apply. Someone in their early 20s comes on asking whether or not they should buy DVC and we give our opinions. Well really we don't know if they're just out of college and making a humble living or a few years out of college and working on Wall Street making $150,000 a year. Clearly their situations are different. The median annual income in the United States is $46,236 a year. That means that there are people here on the DIS that could make that, a little more, or a little less. The point is we don't know. The author of a post who talks about buying 200 points direct at BLT might be making $400,000 a year. In that case it's a much less risky move than someone buying 200 BLT direct and financing because they have to stretch to make the monthly payment. We simply don't know. So I think you're right, we need to give a little more consideration to financial background when giving advice. And since we don't know that, it's difficult to do.
The point I'd like to add is that the whole "resale vs. direct" debate really only fueled up in the past year or so when DVC prices became outrageously high in comparison to previous prices. So I think that the "resale" people (like myself) should be clearer in stating that their opinions refer to $140 a point AKV purchases and not preconstruction AKV purchases. Similarly, the line gets a lot blurrier when you are talking about the sold out resorts priced in the $100-$115 range. And I think "direct" people need to realize that "resale" people might not be talking about you specifically when they are talking about potentially financially unsound direct purchases. I would've LOVED to be you if you bought BWV direct for $65 or BCV direct for $75 or even BLT direct at opening for $107. But I wasn't that smart, so now in order for it to make financial sense for me, I bought resale.
Great discussion baker, glad you brought it up.

Loch Lomond Park and Stirling Castle MiniCoach Day Tour from Edinburgh (RT)
A day spent with Rabbies Tours in the land of Scots heroes Rob Roy, Robert the Bruce and William Wallace, taking in the magnificent splendour of the medieval stronghold of Stirling Castle and the beautiful nature and forests of Scotland's first National Park and the remote north east side of the bonny banks of Loch Lomond. Departs Edinburgh every day all year - guaranteed!
Highlights: ~ Stirling Castle ~ The Trossachs ~ Rob Roy country ~ Aberfoyle ~ Inversnaid nature trail walk ~ Loch Lomond ~ Lake of Menteith
Your itineraray: Depart Edinburgh 09.15am and travel northwest through the historic area of Linlithgowshire, close to the historic palace. The tragic Mary Queen of Scots was born at Linlithgow palace, and became Queen when she was only 6 days old. According to legend her father James V died of a broken heart when he discovered his wife had given birth to a daughter and not the son he was hoping for! Your route along the Forth Valley is one which has been used for thousands of years by invading armies, it was the northernmost frontier of the Roman empire and was later used by the English King Edward I as he marched proudly towards Stirling (only to be sent homewards to think again!). Nowadays it's at the centre of one of Scotland's most important industries with huge oil refineries dominating the area.
As you approach Stirling the magnificent castle dominates your view and you make your way up towards the high volcanic rock where it imposes itself upon the surrounding land. Known as the 'Key to Scotland', for centuries this was the most important castle in Scotland and the views from the top make it easy to see why.
To the north is the 220ft high tower of the National Wallace Monument commemorating Scotland's great hero William Wallace, played by Mel Gibson in the Oscar-winning movie Braveheart. From the castle you can look down over the scene of Wallace's greatest triumph, the battle of Stirling Bridge, where he defeated the English army in 1297. To the south is Bannockburn where, in 1314, the great Scottish warrior-king Robert the Bruce defeated the English army of Edward II. The battle was fought for possession of Stirling Castle but eventually led to a far greater prize for Scotland – the restoration of independence. It's an area alive with history and you stop at the castle to give you time to soak up the history and heritage of this great site.
From Stirling you head into the Highlands and an area known as the Trossachs. Known as 'The Highlands in Miniature', it marks the point where the Lowlands meet the Highlands and entering this beautifully picturesque area feels like going into a different country. With its shimmering lochs, rugged mountain tops and forest-filled glens it's easy to forget that this was once thought of as a dangerous frontier fought over by the fiercely territorial Highland clans. You stop here for lunch in the village of Aberfoyle, made popular in Victorian times due to its great location.
After lunch you 'take the high road' or back-road to Loch Lomond, Scotland's largest lochs at over 22 miles long, passing Lochs Ard, Chon and Arklet along the way as you travel through the protected lands of Scotland's first National Park. The route you take was described by the famous Scots comedian Billy Connolly as his favourite road in Scotland, and you can discover why – it's stunning!!
You stop at Inversnaid on the secluded north-east of the loch, making it the perfect place to enjoy a walk along the 'bonny banks', up to a viewpoint for a fantastic view of the loch and the mountain it's named after, Ben Lomond. This tranquil setting was once the home of Scotland's famous highland folk hero, Rob Roy MacGregor. Made popular by many books and films Rob Roy lived an incredible life as a soldier, businessman, cattle-rustler and outlaw. By spending time on the trails by the loch you will undoubtedly be walking in the footsteps of one of Scotland's great legends. There is also an alternative option to enjoy a drink at the local hotel and sample the views. Leaving Loch Lomond you return to Edinburgh passing Scotland's only lake – the Lake of Mentieth (although we have around 3000 freshwater lochs!). The legend states that after William Wallace was betrayed by his great friend the Earl of Mentieth and executed in London the name was changed from the Loch of Mentieth to the Lake of Mentieth so that nobody would ever forget the traitorous part the Earl played in his death.

Every once in a while, someone asks me what I get out of my work with Reflections Mystery School, where I have been a student for the last 5 years. I usually find this a difficult question to answer because the work I have done is so personal and intimate and, at the same time, infuses every part of my life. I flounder with the words and usually land somewhere around "I got my art back," which is true, sounds like nothing, but is everything to me.
Today, Katrina Messenger, the founder of Reflections and my teacher these last years, put some words around what it is we focus on in the school.
At Reflections, our focus is soul work. We offer classes on magickal and spiritual topics yes, but our primary area of concentration is evolving the soul.
She talks about healing our wounds, strengthening our cores, dancing with our Shadows, engaging with our growing edges, listening to our inner voices and dreams, answering our vocational calls, learning the language of Mystery, and walking with and supporting each other on our journeys.
And somehow…"I got my art back" engages all of those threads.
