Career Interest Program
We have been told by many students that there is a real need to "see the light at the end of the tunnel." Career planning ideas for life after medical school are not always clearly identified during the student years. By association and contact with practicing alumni in the community, students might develop clearer ideas concerning the type of specialty they would like to practice. Alumni in southeastern Wisconsin who have volunteered to be a part of this program can show their pride as an alumnus of the Medical College of Wisconsin and their desire to assist students in their career planning.
Host-A-Senior Program
Interviewing for a residency is a busy, stressful and expensive time for any medical student. The alumni from across the country who have volunteered to be a part of the Host-A-Senior Program are willing to house a student to save them that expense and give the student some tips about the community.
Applicant Host Program
During each school year, current medical students host prospective students who are visiting the campus for the admissions interview process. The Alumni Association provides funding for transportation to and from the airport as well as providing a stipend for medical students who host the prospective students.
Resident Event
Each year the Alumni Association sponsors a night out for residents and their spouses/guests. This group of future alumni, as most physicians will attest to, have a very hectic schedule and this night away from their busy training is truly appreciated.
M-1 Picnic
The hope of the Alumni Association is to make contact with the students as soon as they arrive on campus. For this reason, the Association sponsors the very first social event for the new students, the picnic held for students and their families during orientation week.
Senior Yearbook
A yearbook helps keep the memories of medical school and the many wonderful friendships alive forever. To assist the senior medical students with their yearbook, the Alumni Association helps underwrite the book.
Graduate School Research Day and Poster Contest
This two-day event highlights the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences and gives the students a chance to display the research projects they are working on. The activity includes a lunch for the students with a presentation by a nationally-recognized research scientist. The Alumni Association funds this activity because the Association feels it is important to support the efforts of Graduate School students.
Mentor Program
The Mentor Program gives the children of alumni who are interested in attending the Medical College an opportunity to talk with a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors and hear about the College from the perspective of an alumnus.
Student Loan Fund
The Alumni Association, working with the Financial Aid Office, established a low-interest loan fund for senior medical students.
Student/Alumni Committee
The Student/Alumni Committee is a committee of the Student Assembly and works with the Alumni Association on the Association's programs for students. In 1996, the Association opened a spot on the board of directors for the president of the student assembly.
For more information on any of these programs, call (414) 955-4781 or e-mail us.

- I had to go straight from school to the doctor's office, and since I have a two-hour train commute, I didn't have time to eat lunch. I bought a faro and cranberry cookie at the local natural food store when I went to buy bread and ate it on the train because I was feeling shaky. I later learned that a similar cookie (the exact brand is Italian and didn't have any nutrition info) had 6 points... big mistake!
- I walked 4km yesterday because I walked to the metro and then to and from the doctor. I normally walk about 2km per day from school to the train, and with less food in my body, the 4km felt like forever!....
- .... which made me super hungry last night! It wasn't "I want to eat something" hunger, it was "my stomach hurts from being hungry" hunger.
I was way over on points. Here is a look at my eTools for yesterday:
That's right! 46 points! Even if you subtract the 6 point cookie, that's still 9 points over my daily limit! :-( But I told myself that I had to write down everything, even if I didn't like it, because it did go in my body, after all.
So day 1 was definitely a struggle, and I'm still not sure whether I won or lost the battle. Today I tried doing what's called a "Día de alimentos saciantes" or a day where all you eat is Power Foods. I am still hungry, but I feel better knowing that I can satiate my hunger without worrying about eating half a billion points! :)
So what is helping me on my DAS ("Día de alimentos saciates")? This bread:
I bought this bread at a local herbolario, a Spanish shop that is somewhere between a health food store and a natural products store. They sell everything from dried herbs (like malva flower, mint and rosemary, that you boil and strain to make a tea that settles your throat if it's sore!) to 100% natural and ecological peanut butter.
This bread is the only bread that is accepted by Entulínea as an alimento saciante ("AS"). It has to be 100% pure rye bread, and luckily this one is! It's also 100% organic and costs 2.89€ (currently about $3.85) per loaf of 400g. It is very small, but the bread is extremely dense. Each loaf has 8 servings of 50g each and each serving is worth 2PP. It is also an AS, the Entulínea equivalent of a Power Food, and it tastes great. It isn't sour like rye in the US, and it doesn't have an aftertaste. It is chewy and tastes great with fat-free cream cheese (also an AS!). It is really filling, and I've eaten 6 servings between yesterday and today!
I can tell that my body is responding to my new eating habits since it keeps asking me for more food. And I sure am glad that I have something dense, chewy, nutty and tasty to feed it. It makes me glad that I don't have to worry about the 45-calorie bread anymore! :)
Let's just hope that I make it through today's DAS on a higher note than yesterday's first day on plan!

You can also view the final reflections from the conference and the evaluation highlights. As a delegate said:
'I just want to say #jiscel11 was awesome...'
Venue: online, both live and asynchronous
Innovating e-Learning 2011, the sixth in the popular series of JISC online conferences, brings together delegates from further and higher education with an interest in technology-enhanced learning and teaching.
This year's programme offers more than ever before with two distinct elements demonstrating the advantages of online conferencing. Firstly, the pre-conference activity week, starting on the 15th November, provides a platform for delegates and agencies, such as the JISC Regional Support Centres, to run their own short presentations and showcase events. The main conference then starts on the 22nd November with sessions programmed under two themes, each with its own keynote presentation and plenary. The conference opening keynote is by David Puttnam (Lord Puttnam of Queensgate); and the final keynote is delivered this year by Ewan McIntosh. All sessions in the main conference are live but recorded for delegates who cannot attend at the time. Sessions are also supported by asynchronous discussion forums open to all delegates.
(View detailed programme)
You can also listen to a special edition of JISC On Air Learning in Transition Radio Show featuring interviews with some of the keynote speakers from the conference.
If you haven't attended before, the JISC Innovating e-Learning conference offers all of these! Make this the year you join in. Book your place here. Note: it is best to book well before the 15th November, to allow you to make the most of the pre-conference Activity Week.

Help VFF Keep Radio Ad on the Air
This morning, VFF released a radio ad in support of Captain Kevin Calvey, Iraq war veteran and congressional candidate for Oklahoma's 5th Congressional District. Visit our site to listen to the ad that is running today on the largest conservative talk radio station in Oklahoma City (KTOK).
This ad is critical to Captain Calvey's victory, as he's in a VERY tight race with a local politican.
Your help today could put Calvey over the top and here's why it's important to you -- Captain Calvey served during the Iraq Surge in 2007, where his mission was to prosecute al Qaeda leaders and insurgents in Iraqi courts. He joined the Army after the war in Iraq started, because that's just the kind of guy he is. He also earned a Bronze Star for his time in Baghdad.
We don't need more entrenched politicians going to Washington, D.C. We need outsiders with unique leadership qualities to take on the establishment and fight for our troops.
Voters in Oklahoma go to the polls in 5 days, and we need your help to keep this ad on the air through the primary election on Tuesday.
We need Captain Calvey in Congress-and in order to send him, he needs YOUR help to win this primary!
For just $25, we can buy one additional ad spot in Oklahoma. $50 will buy two more spots and $100 will buy four! Your $25, $50 or $100 will go directly to keeping this ad on the air through the weekend, and into Election Day. Captain Calvey is leading in the polls, but needs our help to cross the finish line.
Will you help us send Captain Calvey to Congress?
So far, VFF's 'MISSION 10-in-10' is 7 for 7 in primaries for our Iraq and Afghanistan vets candidates. Let's go 8 for 8 on Tuesday!
Move Out and Draw Fire!

No Canadain Coalition Government
We the undersigned urge the Governor General of Canada to call a fresh election at the earliest oppourtunity if the current Government of Canada fails a confidence vote. We believe an election is required as the proposed Liberal/NDP coalition has no clear mandate from the electorate, no policy platform that has been put in front of the electorate and the constituent parties of the proposed coalition specifically ruled out forming a coalition during the last election campain.

Tree removal scheduled in preparation for Haas parking lot reconstructionApril 13, 2012
EAU CLAIRE — Some trees in and around the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire's Haas Fine Arts parking lot will be removed the weekend of April 21 in preparation for reconstruction of the lot this summer.
About half the trees in the area east of the Human Sciences and Services Building and west and south of the Haas Fine Arts Center will be removed. A larger number of new trees will be planted in the area following the parking lot reconstruction, said Christopher Hessel, construction project coordinator for UW-Eau Claire Facilities Management.
"The Haas Fine Arts parking lot reconstruction project is long overdue," said Terry Classen, director of Facilities Management. "Initially it was planned for the summer of 2009 and was postponed when our plans to construct a new Children's Center in that area changed. It's now imperative that we make the needed improvements to that lot."
The parking lot reconstruction is expected to begin June 11 and run through Aug. 31. The project is necessary because of the severe deterioration of the parking lot's surface, the need to more efficiently use the area to provide a larger number of parking spaces and to better illuminate the area at night, Classen said. The number of parking spaces in the lot will increase from 261 to 348, which will help alleviate the impact of the loss of spaces in the university's Phillips parking lot resulting from the construction of the new W.R. Davies Student Center, Classen said.

Hi, r600g has had this optimization for quite a while and it will soon come to radeonsi as well.
Phoronix: Intel Mesa Driver Boosts Valve's Dota 2 Performance
In the latest code hitting the mainline Mesa Git tree is an Intel Mesa DRI driver improvement that can provide for significant performance improvements with Valve's popular Dota 2 online battle arena game...
Hi, r600g has had this optimization for quite a while and it will soon come to radeonsi as well.
nice, but on what hardware was this tested?
In general nice, I welcome every performance improvement in Dota in general. Unfortunately Mesa > 9.1.x is unusable here in Dota, because it triggers https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54226 very often during a game. Luckily, with Mesa 9.1 this happens seldom. So I will stick with the 9.1 releases until a miracle will happen, which solves the bug
So ehm, can this "test map" be used in PTS as a benchmark?
8% is great, but what is the actual FPS? Going from 10 to 11 FPS is also a 10% jump.
Either try it yourself but stop hating other's work.
Also, the git llvm/clang/mesa are much better than the released versions that are in most distros.
No, I have not ever run Dota 2 on an Intel integrated graphics processor because I don't have one. So I don't have that information.

Hearty, healthy and so good!
Warm up with homemade taste.
A small village pub on a rainy fall night in Scotland warmed us up with its inviting atmosphere and delicious soup, and became the inspiration for our Stonewall Kitchen Potato Leek Soup, a savory and comforting rendition of this classic soup.
Potato Cubes and Slices, Onions, Leeks, Celery, Scallions, Herbs.
You will need: 6 cups chicken broth, « tsp. salt (or to taste), freshly ground pepper, 1 cup cream.
In a 2 or 3 quart pot bring broth to a boil. Add soup mix, cover and simmer on low for twenty minutes. Stir in cream, season with salt and pepper and allow to stand five minutes before serving. To serve chilled, refrigerate overnight and garnish with sour cream.
For chunky potato soup add 1 large Idaho Baker peeled and diced and allow to simmer until tender. Blend in « cup crumbled cooked bacon and garnish with blue cheese.
I added lots of fresh corn from the cob and made a quick corn chowder. Possibilities are endless as a base soup.

The banners and smiles of the young and old tell the story
The monthly programme of District Apostle N Barnes informed that a Fun Walk should take place throughout the area on Saturday, 26 May 2012.
This is the third annual event of the Cape District Church since 2010 in aid of charity around the festival of Pentecost.
The announcement sparked a hive of activity in the area of Apostle Brian De Vries where it was decided that instead of monetary donations, participants would bring a can of food to be donated to charities and the underprivileged in the area.
With the overarching 2012 theme: "We Can Walk" more than 1500 participants' set-off, undeterred by the predicted rain, from the various churches in Mitchell's Plain along a pre-determined route to the Westridge Gardens, Mitchell's Plain. At the venue the walkers personally delivered their donations (cans) at a CAN receiving station marked-out by the motto of the day.
The fun walk was followed by an entertainment programme and ceremony which concluded with a keynote address by the Apostle De Vries. In his address the Apostle noted that this year's event coincided with International World Hunger Day which is celebrated on Monday, 28 May 2012. This announcement brought about a feeling of inner fulfilment that every step taken was for a worthy cause.
The banners and smiles by young and old tell the story of the mega-event. It was a befitting pre-cursor to the blessed feast of Pentecost the next day.

While humans spend one-third of their lives sleeping, there is no scientific consensus on the function of sleep.
During the dream phase of sleep, the body's stress chemistry shuts down, taking the edge off difficult memories. The finding may help explain why people with post-traumatic stress disorder suffer reoccurring nightmares.
"The dream stage of sleep, based on its unique neurochemical composition, provides us with a form of overnight therapy, a soothing balm that removes the sharp edges from the prior day's emotional experiences," said Matthew Walker, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of California, Berkeley.
For people with PTSD, such as war veterans, this overnight therapy may not work effectively, so when a "flashback is triggered by, say, a car backfiring, they relive the whole visceral experience once again because the emotion has not been properly stripped away from the memory during sleep."
Published in Current Biology, the study offers some of the first insights into the emotional function of Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, which typically takes up 20 percent of a healthy human's sleeping hours. Previous brain studies indicate that sleep patterns are disrupted in people with mood disorders such as PTSD and depression.
While humans spend one-third of their lives sleeping, there is no scientific consensus on the function of sleep. The research unlocks many of the mysteries linking sleep to learning, memory, and mood regulation—and shows the importance of the REM dream state.
"During REM sleep, memories are being reactivated, put in perspective and connected and integrated, but in a state where stress neurochemicals are beneficially suppressed," says lead author Els van der Helm, doctoral student in psychology.
For the study, 35 healthy young adults were divided into two groups and viewed 150 emotional images twice, 12 hours apart, while an MRI scanner measured brain activity.

Today is Saturday, May 21st, 2011. It is the third (3rd) Saturday in May, which has been set aside by an act of Congress to honor the members of this Nation's Armed forces.
Most Americans are aware that, as a Nation, we have set aside special days to honor those who have SERVED in our Armed Forces (Veterans' Day) and those who have DIED while in service to our Country (Memorial Day). But most Americans are less aware that, as a Nation, we have also set aside a day to honor those who are CURRENTLY serving in our Armed Forces. TODAY, Saturday, May 21st, 2011, is that day: "Armed Forces Day"!
One of the BEST ways to commemorate Armed Forces Day and honor our servicemen & servicewomen is by flying our Nation's Flag!
Since I have the official Flags of all five of our Nation's Armed Services, I decided to fly them too, along with our State Flag (Oregon) and the POW*MIA Flag.
The eight (8) flags we've posted out in front of our house to celebrate ARMED FORCES DAY are (from left-to-right in their correct order) : U.S., State of Oregon, U.S. Army, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, and the POW*MIA Flags !!!
Using 60 pound concrete blocks as flagpole holders, all eight (8) Flags were mounted on eight foot (8') wood flagpoles, and spaced across the yard in front of our house on Donovan Drive.
A BIG, heart-felt "THANK YOU" goes out to ALL of our service men & women wherever they may be serving our Country !!!

Advances to Semi Final
[WISPA draw/results] [PSA draw/results]
The compact, energy-packed young French pro Isabelle Stoehr hustled her way into a semi final meeting tomorrow evening with Linda Elriani at the WISPA Dayton Open.
Isabelle Stoehr and England's Rebecca Botwright entertained the crowd with a battle that saw Stoehr go up 2-0 quite easily, then Rebecca battled back in two hard fought games ending in tie-breaks going to her. At two all, Stoehr's constant motion and pressure finally took the toll on Botwright, who appeared to largely run out of gas in the fifth. In the other three matches, the higher seeds Linda Elriani, Omenya Abdel Kawy, and Kasey Brown, easily dispatched their opponents.

LST-616 was laid down on 12 February 1944 at Seneca, III., by the Chicago Bridge & Iron Co.; launched on 12 May 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Carrol McDaniel; and commissioned on 29 May 1944, Ens. Julian H. Rutherford, Jr., in command.
During World War II, LST-616 was assigned to the Asiatic-Pacific theater and participated in the assault and occupation of Okinawa Gunto in March and April 1945. Following the war, the ship performed occupation duty in the Far East and saw service in China until early December 1945. She was decommissioned on 19 January 1946 and transferred to the Military Sea Transportation Service on 31 March 1952 where she served as USNS LST-616. LST-616 was struck from the Navy list on 1 May 1961 and transferred to the government of Indonesia.
LST-616 earned one battle star for World War II service.

Lotus Prince Let's Play: Killer7 - Part 18
Sunday, 07 July 2013
Hmm, I don't know. Iwazaru does sound concerned with all the talk about it being dark and no going back, but then says that the threat is at peacetime levels... Maybe it's just excitement about what you'll see!
Sorry, just really find it silly when Defcon 5 (peacetime) is used when Defcon 1 (state of war, nuclear weapons allowed) is meant. ^_^'
All in all, interesting instalment. We get a little closer to learning something, even if Mills got just as cryptic as the other ghosts in death. I do wonder if we ever get a deeper explanation of how things fit together, or if it will just be an explanation for what is behind it all. Nevertheless, awaiting the next one. ^_^
PS: I just noticed that the thick blood is counted in decilitres. That would mean that the Smiths carry a 100 litre (~26.4 US gallons) container around somewhere. Apparently, Kaede is not just able to walk barefoot on anything, but also of hiding a person-sized jug of blood in a mini dress. Guess I should expect no less from professional assassins. XP
Tuesday, 09 July 2013
And so, we reach the amazing conclusion! The final battle between the fighters for Justice, the Handsome Men, and the depraved murderers, the Smith Syndicate! And it's... a mindfuck of an ending as Pink turns out to be... what, someone new with prophetic powers who leave after Garcian and she shake hands and are best friends? Con can see their poses (or maybe he just hears the movement of the air?) Mask upgrades into Omega Mask, the handsome men move and shoot exactly where we aim (if we hit they hit), and then it was an online game the whole time even though there is no longer any internet, and Dan is Disco Dan in the credits and Kun Lan and.
The new mission is an oh so intriguing one. Samantha is dead, Harman and Kun Lan discusses the sad fate of someone OH SO UNRELATED to them who killed his own mother when she tried to seduce him and proceed to freak out when they notice Garcian eavesdropping (also worth noting- their chess pieces scatter everywhere when they notice Garcian), and then Garcian tells Mills that the master is gone and Mills gets killed after he's about to reveal something that happened thirty years ago? how mysteeerious. I do wonder what Mills was going to say, and how much he really knows about the Killer 7...
I also wonder whats the deal with Matsuoka, and how he's going to organize those ten million japanese into an actual threat come voting time even if they DO cast their votes in a swing state. Darn you Mills, we gave you a Hollywood-death and yet you explain nothing!
Also fun fact- the portier which dissapears is supposedly Sumio Mondo, protagonist of Sun, Flower and Moon, another one of Sudas games. As for why he disappears like that... I do not know. As for why Iwazaru is so hesitant for us to go any further (or is he really?), that I do know. As well as why we find Soul Bullets in those very peculiar places...
Talking bout gameplay though, I wonder if the rockets are weak points, or maybe those strapped TO the rockets? I also wonder if double tap might not be a bad thing to have sometimes, when you miss the weak spot and then accidentaly fire another bullet, it just may eliminate the limb sporting the weak point entirely. Also- does upgrading criticals really change anything? Like, does it improve the odds of a critical hitting home, as if they're worked out with a RNG instead of just "aim at yellow spot and pull trigger"? So much strangeness, so many answers waiting to be revealed...
Wednesday, 10 July 2013
I'd heard that the hotel guy was from Flower, Sun, and Rain, but that connection went over my head because I've never played it. :-D
It really is cool the way they play up Iwazaru and the bullets' locations this time around. It makes you wonder if their locations in earlier levels were significant as well. The very first one was in the trunk of a car Travis is sitting on, for example.
Upgrading criticals I think eventually gives you Critical Lock-On, and that ability is absolutely crucial for Killer8 mode, when you can't see the critical points.

27 Hearty Steel Inscription should be Hearty Seasoned Inscription
man.. i bought wrong one lol
Becoming a Huntsman is more expensive than the guides I've produced previously but it is notably quicker because of it. It's also possible to recoup some of the initial outlay of money from the weapons you craft, to then sell back to the vendor or to list/salvage on the Trading Post.
Unlike becoming a Chef or Artificer, leveling this and the remaining crafting professions can still take some time (about an hour if you have all the ingredients). This method however is quicker than Jewel crafting. Similarly to Jewel crafting, there are a large amount of ingredients involved so it's always worth paying careful attention to what you have and haven't bought. It's also recommend you check your crafting bank in the event you already own some materials.
Huntsman are capable of crafting bows (both long and short) torches, pistols, rifles, warhorns and harpoon guns. They can also make consumable maintenance oils that provide buffs similar to cooking or artificing.
Please note: It is always recommend that you place Buy Orders for crafting ingredients or components. This will take a period of time to gather them all, but will save you money.
I would like to thank Aeroda and Mystic Llama for providing the basis of the above guide.
27 Hearty Steel Inscription should be Hearty Seasoned Inscription
man.. i bought wrong one lol
Fixed :)
Costed 26 gold.... should update this please.......
These guides are great so far, but Is there anyway you could estimate altered guides made to be used with Crafting Boosters? I've gotten at least 4 from chest drops and would like to get the biggest bang for them and save myself some coin while mastering crafts.
Somehow using a crafting booster i was suppose to be at 275 and I was stuck at 260
This guide is horrible. Others seem good, but this one fails. 325-350 is missing, its got 78 extra iron ore, and the venom sacks didnt even get used. I would go elsewhere for huntsman guide.
The first part is just a typo. The 300-325 section actually takes you to 350.
The venom sacks are used to make the inscriptions for the Rampager's Hard Harpoon Guns in the 225-300 section.
But yeah, there is way too much Iron and Water called for.
The guide *does* work though, just have to understand it's going to cost 25g and you'll recoup pretty much nothing because no one on the server wants to buy your bad gear.
These minor typos have been fixed. I tested this again last week and it works perfectly :)
Damn what a money sink
Too expensive but anyway I'm done. Lvl 400. There is one correction to note. The task requires 21 jugs of water. Not 210.
Hey . Your 225 - 300 is messed up some how. I made it to 260 and now stuck,
Pillaging Iron Plated Inscription and Pillaging Steel Plated Inscription should be changed to Hunter's Iron/Steel Plated Inscription
Other then that every thing was ok...
BTW no one is selling Rampager's Elder Inscription on TP X_X you should make a note on every one of those inscriptions what materials and how many is needed to make them incase they aren't on TP... Will make it easier in those cases :)
This cost me about 15~20 gold but I had some of the materials I needed...
Buying things out right on TP without farming the mats is REALLY expensive these days. But the FULL list of mats on here is really helpful if you plan on farming a lot of it. If you're rolling in the money, then by all means, follow the guide. It works best if you use those +%exp crafting boosters. If you don't mind spending the gold, it will get it done fast. Otherwise cheapest is always just farm it all.
Great guide!
However you guys should add
To your Trading Post buy list :)
So i just did this with one of my toons(with the crafting buff), you will need about 25 gold if your not going to farm and straight up buy your stuff. here are my notes:
Change pillaging to hunters, inscription name changed already
Discover Rampager's Elder Shortbow with Elder Shortbow Stave, Thick String, Rampager's Elder Inscription
Make 26 Rampager's Elder Shortbow
change to:
Discover Carrion Elder Shortbow with Elder Shortbow Stave, Thick String, Carrion Elder Inscription
Make 26 Carrion Elder Shortbow
Also Make 129 Cured Thick Leather Square, with amoung specified you actually be able to make 120
Due to lack of this you will actually be around 343ish not 350.
Once i got to 350, it was a smooth ride to 403 for me. Thank you please adjust the guide slightly.
Thanks to all that help to keep this guide alive and up to date.
Thanks! Worked beautifully. :D

Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) clash with Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 on May 21. Aastrologer Pandit Anil Chaubey predicts Punjab will end Mumbai's faint hopes of qualifying for the IPL 7 play-offs at Mohali.
Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) have already qualified for the play-offs of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014. They top the IPL 7 standings with 18 points. Mumbai Indians (MI) are in seventh position with eight points. Mumbai are in need of a win in each of their last three matches. A loss would rule them out of contention for the IPL 7 play-offs.
Key players: As expected, Glenn Maxwell and David Miller will be the better performers for Kings XI Punjab. Wriddhiman Saha will also surprise everyone with a solid performance. For Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma and Michael Hussey will come to the fore. Pragyan Ojha, who has had a poor tournament so far, will bowl well.

text: Perez: It was much more different than I expected 7 February, 2013 Sergio Perez McLaren MP4-28 McLaren new boy Sergio Perez failed to make himself fully comfortable in the cockpit of the team's new MP4-28, on the day of his test debut, but the Mexican Formula 1 driver ended up happier than he had expected to be. Sergio Perez McLaren MP4-28 The 23-year-old, who has moved from Sauber to replace Lewis Hamilton alongside Jenson Button at the title contenders, found his new 'office' full of unfamiliar features and controls to keep him busy. "It was much more different than I expected," he told repporters after setting the seventh best time of the day. "You have to adapt yourself to a different position, a different way to hold the steering wheel, pretty much everything is different from the pedals to the steering wheel. It's pretty much starting from zero. "But I think we are going in the right direction with an incredible day. I'm more happy than I was expecting today," he added. Perez said he still needed to sort out his seat, "to change some stuff", for comfort but there was plenty of time to do that. Sergio Perez with Martin Whitmarsh and Adrian Fernandez "I need to sort out some things with my seat, with my cockpit to be a little bit more comfortable but even then we managed to do an incredible day with good data for us," he said. He had little doubt that the Mercedes-engined McLaren was a step up from the Ferrari-powered car he was driving last year and that he took to three podium finishes including two second places. "Since I drove it out of the garage, and doing the first laps, I knew that this car has good potential," declared the Guadalajara-born driver. "We don't know how competitive we are at all but all I can say is that the car feels quite good. "Definitely I would say that the mechanical grip is good on the car but also the aero. It's a very complete car. I'm happy with the car I've got."

Current Articles
From the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation
-- Applications are being accepted until April 16 for the annual Wildlife Youth Camp, designed to give youth an increased awareness of protecting and managing Oklahoma's wildlife resources. The camp also provides an opportunity for youth to explore possible future careers in wildlife management.
The camp is entirely free of charge.
A maximum of 35 youth will be selected to attend the camp. It is competitively open to all Oklahoma youth 14 to 16 years old. Youngsters applying must have been enrolled in school the previous year and have an interest in wildlife law enforcement or management.
To give participants a better understanding of wildlife and fisheries management and law enforcement, the camp is conducted by game wardens, wildlife and fisheries professionals and dedicated hunters and anglers.
Applicants must be 14-16 years of age (applicants must turn 14 prior to July 11, 2010), and need to write an essay (about 75 words) describing why they wish to attend the camp, why they should be selected and what they expect to learn.
They should also provide one letter of recommendation (by someone other than a family member), and provide a photograph of a recent outdoor-related event of activity.
Applications will be accepted until April 16 at 4:30 p.m., and are available for download at http://www.wildlifedepartment.com/youthcampapplication.pdf.

Join Room 220 for the second installment of the fall 2012 season of the LIVE PROSE reading series at 7 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 22, at 725 St. Ferdinand St. On this dark and ominous night in late October, Room 220 will present Adam Parfrey and Joseph Scott Morgan, two authors whose relationships with the mysterious and with death are unmatched in their intensity. The beautiful, decrepit interior at 725 Ferdinand St. will augment the spooky mood and provide grand amounts of wall space for the slideshow presentations.
Joseph Scott Morgan worked as a forensic death investigator for law enforcement agencies in New Orleans and Atlanta before the horrific things he saw and experienced gave him severed PTSD and forced his retirement from fieldwork. He now works as a professor at a small college in Georgia and recently released a memoir, Blood Beneath My Feet: The Journey of a Southern Death Investigator. The book intersperses Morgan's real-life experiences from crime scenes with stories from his childhood in New Orleans in classic Southern gothic style that one author dubbed "Mem-Noir." Read an interview with Joseph Scott Morgan, conducted by Wesley Stokes, on Room 220.
Adam Parfrey is the editor and publisher of Feral House, one of the most consistently provocative and enticing presses in the United States since 1989. Feral House boasts a huge and varied catalog of smart, serious titles on subjects most publishers are afraid to touch (along with the Unabomber's book and Anton LaVey's authorized biography). It remains a stalwart independent voice among the gooey nonsense and pseudo-"progressive" pandering that often confronts browsers of nonfiction sections in contemporary bookstores. Parfrey is also a writer and editor. On October 22, he will be presenting his own most recent book, Ritual America: Secret Brotherhoods and their Influence on American Society, a visual guide of more than four hundred pages with hundreds of rare images that expose the bowels of the Oddfellows, Masons, Shriners, and the other creepy white male groups to which, just fifty years ago, one in three American men belonged.
The event is free and complimentary libations will be on hand.

Wrong: Why experts* keep failing us--and how to know when not to trust…
by David H. Freedman
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Freedman offers anecdotal evidence with a suggestion of "studies" that most expert opinions should not be considered as such. He tackles medicine, business practices, leadership, health among others. A bit repetitive but some entertaining insights, especially those relating to how involving more people in brainstorming and decision making do not improve the results.
It was an interesting read and readable once picked up but I did struggle to want to pick it up.
Mainly I think because its theme was so negative. I agree that a healthy dose of scepticism is needed in the modern world but this book would make you think that you cannot believe anybody or anything. And I don't think that's true.
A television-news watcher has only to consider the issue of health advice. One day, we are advised to take such-and-such vitamin to prevent this or that disease. The next, a study tells us that that vitamin actually causes said disease. What or whom are we to believe?
After reading Wrong, I would say we shouldn't believe any of it. And David H. Freedman gives readers chapter and verse about why we should take most such pronouncements with even less than a grain of salt.
The most cynical reader may ask why we should believe David H. Freedman. Not to fear, he very thoughtfully includes an appendix entitled "Is this book wrong?"
It's not only medical doctors and studies that Mr. Freedman skewers. Also in the mix are "Scientists, finance wizards, doctors, relationship gurus, celebrity CEOs, high-powered consultants, health officials and more." Particularly satisfying, in my estimation, is Chapter Six: Experts and Organizations, in which the author takes on -- in Dilbertian fashion -- all the business gurus (and all their buzzwords) that come and go in the corporate world.
Wrong is a gem of a book, well-written, funny and right on target.
This book looks at many different types of research and expertise, from studies in research journals, to popular financial advisors, to celebrity spokespeople, to your local doctor. Freedman considers how and why their advice so often steers us in the wrong direction. He also considers why certain studies and certain gurus get so much attention when others, sometimes more reliable others, get ignored. It seems that people want dramatic results and easy-to-follow steps. Nuance and negative results are less interesting. And then there's the whole problem of falsified data, which seems more common than most of us would like to think.
One of my favorite chapters, "The Idiocy of Crowds," takes on the common notion that the best ideas arise from people working together. Freedman talks about how dominant personalities and groupthink can lead people who see a problem with the team's solution to keep their mouths shut. Besides not always leading to the right answer, teamwork is also sometimes more inefficient than individual work. Interestingly, in a later chapter on technology, Freedman decries the lack of expert participation in collaborative online ventures, so there's a tension in his argument. And that's perhaps a good thing. Collaboration doesn't have all the answers, but neither does working in isolation.
I loved Freedman's skewering of management gurus and their TLAs ("three-letter acronyms"). I know I could make a long list of TLAs I've encountered (and used!) in my job. I bet many of you could, too. This chapter, "Experts and Organizations," points out how ridiculous it is to think that a management book available at any airport would contain the secrets that would enable every company out there to be a winner. Jerker Denrell of Stanford's business school points out that this is not unlike a swim coach saying that every swimmer who follows her advice will win at swim meets.
My only real problem with the book is a problem that I've found in a lot of books of this type—a piling on of examples. After a while, they do tend to become a blur. Maybe if I weren't already inclined to accept Freedman's main idea I would need all those anecdotes and examples, but he didn't need to work quite so hard to convince me. Still, the examples are easy enough to understand, and the book's accessible, journalistic style kept it from ever feeling like work to read.
Freedman does acknowledge the irony of presenting himself as an expert on expertise, and in the final appendix, he fesses up to the ways in which he might have massaged his findings to support his thesis. So maybe some of his examples wouldn't stand up to scrutiny. His central ideas, though, are probably sound enough, based as they are on common sense. His main point seems to be not to accept everything you read at face value. It's not advice a cynic like me needs all that much, I suppose, but I'm glad Freedman said it.
See my complete review at Shelf Love.
David Freedman's thesis in Wrong is almost a flat-out pronouncement that all experts, advisors and gurus -- even the most prestigious and even those quoted in the most prominent sources -- are always wrong.
According to Freedman, everyone involved with expert advice is motivated by self-interest: experts are biased toward results that promote their careers; the media is biased toward flashy results and personalities that increase ratings; and the public is biased toward simple, sure-fire, actionable advice. Even today's democratization of expertise (via blogs, rating/review sites, Google rankings) doesn't overcome these biases.
Freedman even dulls the shine on research's gold standard (the randomized, double-blind controlled trial) by exploring how sloppy mistakes taint the data; how the pressures of academic tenure, lab funding, corporate profits and consultancy contracts drive fraud (data invention and falsification); and how little of this is caught through the peer review process.
This is an important topic and the book is accessibly written. But to be clear: it's very similar to the expert advice he skewers -- full of broad, sweeping statements and detailed examples biased toward his thesis. (Freedman acknowledges this late in the book and amends his thesis, but only to, "there is some reason to suspect that most experts are usually wrong.") During my reading, frustration and pessimism grew into profound discouragement and then a spiraling hopelessness. There is no optimism here; even his chapter, "Eleven Simple Never-Fail Rules" -- a summary of red flags about advice -- is the height of irony with its (seemingly) sure-fire, actionable content.
And thus my advice (!): if this thesis is new to you and you want to know more, read this book but read it fast -- get in, get the overall picture, get out. Then decide how much of it you're going to fit into your worldview.

Reading the Newspaper with George W.S. Trow - V
"Television will not allow you to follow a story. Each broadcast is self-contained; television newspeople are embarrassed if they have to remind you that the story existed yesterday as well. They value and love the episodic possibilities within the news. The only exception is Big Human Interest. If it has the quality of a soap opera--O.J. Simpson, or the plane that exploded mysteriously--then they trust it as a story that will have had the dramatic elements necessary for their formula. (That is, they know the story will not let them down. O.J. Simpson will be a celebrity the whole time of his trial; he wil be pronounced guilty, and that will be dramatic; or he will be pronounced innocent, and that will be even more dramatic. In other words, from their television news point of view, the story has already happened; it's reliable. It can be trusted not to let them down. Television hates stories that turn out to be--you know, disappointing. No cum shot.)"
-- George W.S. Trow, "My Pilgrim's Progress: Media Studies 1950-1998," pg. 44

@SkyWhisperer - Personally, while I like the idea of smaller and smaller computers, I don't like them simply because they're small. After all, how much smaller than a cell phone do you have to get before the computer simply becomes impractical for personal use?
I'm more interested in some of the stories I've heard about how the technology will be used in the health field. I've heard it said that one day doctors will have access to computerized drugs that flow into your bloodstream, and deliver drugs to your system or perform surgical operations like blasting through blood clots.
These things sounds like fantasy for now, but if the discoveries made in nanotechnology continue at a steady clip, I think these things will be just around the corner. Those are the breakthroughs that I am really hoping for.

Columbia: On February 1, 2003 a space shuttle broke up during a seemingly routine reentry, killing seven crew members. The Israeli astronaut on board had provided most of the media interest, because of the heightened fear of terrorism. A high-profile investigation is closing in on the probable technical causes (damage to the left wing during launch, age of the fleet), which were suspected and troubling to some engineers and managers during the mission. For various institutional and technical reasons, the damage was never verified before reentry. The investigation added a political scientist-historian, and is looking beyond technical issues at the institutional culture of the agency and contractors.
These cases show how seemingly minute technical issues can have wide-ranging social, political, and other dimensions. It also introduces the issue of ethical conduct in a technical context where there is ambiguity, conflicting interpretations, and uneven power relationships.
