Many of Michigan's players have never been to New York, but if they have their way, they'll leave with an NIT Season Tip-Off championship.
The fourth-ranked Wolverines will play undefeated Pittsburgh on Wednesday night in a semifinal game at Madison Square Garden.Michigan (3-0) beat Slippery Rock 100-62 in its opener before defeating IUPUI 91-54 and Cleveland State 77-47 last week to advance to play at "The World's Most Famous Arena." The last time the Wolverines won three consecutive games by at least 30 points came in 1989, the year they won a national championship.Two wins in New York would give them a championship taste. Michigan last played in MSG on Nov. 21, 2008, and lost 71-56 to Duke in the 2K Sports Classic championship."At Michigan, you come to win championships, and this is one of the most prestigious preseason tournaments," coach John Beilein said. "Many of the kids have not been to New York, they've not been to the Garden, and we wanted them to get there."Michigan's NCAA-best 53.1 percent shooting from 3-point range fuels its high-powered offense. The Wolverines' 89.3 points per game also ranks among the best in the nation, with preseason All-American Trey Burke and fellow guard Tim Hardaway Jr. averaging 18.3 and 17.3 points, respectively.The backcourt duo combines to average 5.0 of Michigan's 11.3 made 3-pointers per game."I've honestly never been to New York," Burke said. "Just to be able to go there for the first time with this team, it means a lot. To go there, play against some of the competition that's going to be there, it's going to kind of test where we're at."The Panthers (4-0) are no strangers to playing at MSG. Pittsburgh has played 42 games there since 2000-01, going 28-14 and winning two Big East championships in the process.Coach Jamie Dixon, a New York City native, is 20-12 all-time at Madison Square Garden. His team, though, needed a historic rally to get there this time.Pittsburgh recorded the largest comeback from a halftime deficit in school history in a 72-62 overtime win over Oakland on Saturday. The Panthers trailed by 14 after 20 minutes and as many as 18 in the second half, needing a 7-0 run in the final minute to force overtime.From there, Pittsburgh outscored Oakland 14-4 in the extra period. J.J. Moore, averaging 13.3 points, scored a team-high 16 in 25 minutes off the bench."We battled, and I guess that's the most important thing," Dixon told the team's official website. "We can focus on the first half, but in the second half we outscored them by 28 from being down 18, so that says a lot of things. We have a lot of work to do. I think our guys understand that."It was the first test of mettle for Pittsburgh, which won its first three games by an average of 30.7 points.The Panthers' close call could prove to be an advantage, as the Wolverines have not yet found themselves in a tightly contested game."We're going to work four days of late-game situations," Beilein said. "Getting those in these early season games are always beneficial. We haven't had any of those."Pittsburgh won the schools' last meeting, 85-76 in the 1996 Rainbow Classic in Honolulu.The winner will play Kansas State or Delaware in the championship game Friday.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Last year's San Marino Grand Prix saw the real start of Ferrari's domination of the 2002 Formula One season. Although the F2002 had been raced in Brazil, it was not until Imola that both Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello had one each to use in the race. With two F2002's at the team's disposal Ferrari took it's first 1-2 at the track since Pironi and Villeneuve achieved the feat in 1982.
In 2002 all the top teams opted for a two stop strategy. Both Schumacher brothers pitted on identical laps for both of their stops but Rubens Barrichello's hard charging on his in laps saw him pick up second place and secure the top steps of the Imola podium for Ferrari. David Coulthard's strategy of holding a heavier fuel load for the first segment of the race cost him dear as he finished in sixth, one lap down.
In 2003 Ferrari's domination will be a little harder to achieve. With the F2003-GA being held back until the Spanish Grand Prix, Ferrari will again be running the F2002. So far this season the car has not been the force it was last year as its rivals look to have started to close the gap. Exactly how much this gap will be widened come the arrival of the "GA" remains to be seen. McLaren has won two of the first three races of 2003 and its new car is also not expected until at least the Spanish race.

The Her Tern Half-Marathon for women enjoyed a strong debut on a sun-splashed Sunday morning, when Anna Dalton of Anchorage earned yet another victory.
Dalton, a former West High athlete, clocked 1 hour, 24 minutes, 50.6 seconds for the 13.1-miler to easily outdistance runner-up Greer Gehler (1:28:15.6) and third-place finisher Emma Bohman (1:28:23.4).
Dalton earlier this summer won the women's division in the Mayor's Marathon, the Trent-Waldron Glacier Half-Marathon and the Faster Than A Falcon 5-K.
Sunday, she blistered the course that took nearly 600 finishers -- and that's an impressive number in an inaugural event, especially for a gender-specific race -- from the west end of the Delaney Park Strip to the University Lake area and back. Most of the race was run on bicycle trails.
The race is believed to be the first "boutique'' race in Anchorage. Racers received a custom bracelet, a gift certificate and a post-race mimosa, as well as a fashion show-block party the day before the event.
Kirsten Kolb finished fourth in 1:28:30.0 and Tara Craytor took sixth in 1:29:32.6.
Of the 572 finishers, 138 racers completed the course in less than two hours.

Cobblers Edge It And Benefit from Snow
Northampton are within a point of automatic promotion after a hard-fought win against Oxford United
Ben Harding's stoppage time goal at the end of the first-half earned a priceless three points in front of 6,151 at Sixfields.
After being on the wrong end of a postponed game last weekend, Town's win also turned out to be their game in hand on Port Vale and Burton Albion after snow caused a raft of call-offs in League Two.
Seven games to go and, despite the temperature, things are warming up nicely for Northampton!

But we attended a marriage and all was awesome. Excellent staff (what do you expect in Thailand), good facilities and food. Huge breakfast buffet! Kuah, West Coast Malaysia, Malaysia Added Mar 26, 2012 Wow, what a beach! Definitely one of the most beautiful in SE Asia! The hotel is big, but hides behind the jungle so you've never the feeling that you stay in one of this grand hotels. Some disadvantages: low wi-fi in the room, and some of the facilities would actually need renovation. The food is delicious, especially the fresh fish that you order right at the beach (but it's also overpriced). And: some services (in my case: hairdressing) are offered, but the people that should have performed it were actually never here. Quite poor for a hotel of this standard. But overall it's a great stay! Puerto Princesa, Palawan Island, Philippines Added Sep 15, 2011 Fantastic place at a very nice beach. Big rooms, cottage style. Only disadvantage is that the air con is placed directly above the bed and blows you away during night. Its blue light is also too bright and so it's not really dark in the room when the air con is on. Very friendly staff and excellent chefs in the kitchen. You can also play billiard on an old table. From the resort you can easily access the famous underground river and also a Mangroves forest. We also hired a driver in order to visit Honda Bay. You can do excellent island hopping tours (incl snorkeling). Bohol, Visayas Islands, Philippines Added Sep 15, 2011 Nicely located at the end of the Alona beach. The hotel is sitting on a cliff and you have a marvelous view over the beach and the bay. Our room was OK, quite big, only that you don't have a sea view if you're not in one of the villas. The balcony door was also broken. The food (breakfast, snacks and dinner) was delicious and you have to try the burger! And the service was just amazing - very friendly, helpful and talkative. You can also play table tennis or football. Boracay, Visayas Islands, Philippines Added Sep 15, 2011 The hotel is located almost at the end of the famous White Beach. Don't be negatively surprised when you arrive there, the front looks ugly. But as soon as you walked through to the beach, your impression will immediately change. Our room was at the front end. A bit noisy throughout the day, but it's a huge room and very comfortable. Only disadvantage: The air con is placed above the bed and blows you away during night. The food in the restaurant isn't really good, but the breakfast is OK. Lombok, Indonesia Added Aug 1, 2011 Lovely resort, welcoming staff, excellent food (try the tenderloin!), very nice beach, currently no other resort at this beach, big rooms with outdoor shower. Jimbaran, Nusa Tenggara Islands (Lesser Sundra Islands), Indonesia Added May 25, 2011 Excellent resort in a cozy style. Friendly staff, beautiful and big rooms. Only negative is the very strong Jasmine perfume they use for the rooms. Breakfast is good, but not outstanding. The beach is perfect and fantastic seafood BBQ restaurants at the beach just 20m away. Pusan, Pusan Province, South Korea Added Apr 1, 2011 The Hotel is nice but became a bit old, but it's still clean. The rooms aren't too big, but OK. The location is good and the staff speaks English well. I didn't try the Sauna/Spa. The breakfast is too expensive for what you get. Seoul, Soul-t'ukpyolsi Province, South Korea Added Apr 1, 2011 Good location close to Seoul Station (the main train station) and two subway stations. English speaking staff, free internet access and big jacuzzy in the room! Overall it's clean and simple, just what you need when you spend three or four days in Seoul. Pembroke, South Island, New Zealand Added Dec 26, 2010 Wow, huge portions! Excellent meat, good service thanks to the young and friendly staff. Pembroke, South Island, New Zealand Added Dec 26, 2010 Excellent to spend some days. Very friendly owners who're always ready to give you the piece of extra information when travelling. Lovely rooms, free glass of red wine in the lounge. Don't miss it! Batu Feringgi, West Coast Malaysia, Malaysia Added Nov 9, 2010 Excellent fresh seafood and also beef. Lucious garden, you feel like in another world! Lhasa, Tibet (Xizang Autonomous Region), China Added Jul 24, 2010 I mean the Hotel Building is quite nice - but probably more the style for travellers from China than Europeans. Noisy during the night. People smoke in the corridors. The food and service in the restaurant was just terrible. Kota Kinabalu, Sabah Region, Malaysia Added Jul 24, 2010 Just great! Beautiful site, excellent service. And the Tuna Steak was a dream! Lausanne, Lake Geneva Region, Switzerland Added Jun 24, 2010 Great location, very interesting and a must for every sports fan. Pulau Bintan, Sumatra, Indonesia Added Apr 2, 2010 Very good sports facilities (Badminton, Table Tennis, Bowling, ...), excellent restaurants (the food in the Thai Restaurant is just delicious: www.baanaarya.com), beautiful beach and pool. Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam Added Apr 1, 2010 Grand! Large rooms, good facilities, beach quite nice, food could be better. Lhasa, Tibet (Xizang Autonomous Region), China Added Apr 1, 2010 Excellent Boutique Hotel led by Tibetans. Very friendly English speaking staff, lovely rooms. Pulau Bali, Nusa Tenggara Islands (Lesser Sundra Islands), Indonesia Added Apr 1, 2010 Great service, best Pizzas on Bali, nice and lovely rooms. Krabi, Andaman Coast, Thailand Added Apr 1, 2010 Great and fresh food, in the middle of nowhere, quiet. Service could be faster, but friendly. One day they ran out of beer.... Ko Samui, Thailand Gulf, Thailand Added Mar 27, 2010 Excellent small resort with a great view! The lowdown on Sandro L.What's this person like as a travel companion?

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
There seemed no more logical place to start with Ash than their most highly regarded album to date. All things considered I honestly expected something less bratty punk-pop and more fun pop-rock than what I got. In fact, I dont quite know what to make of 1977 as it does indeed blend elements of so many varieties of music. Titled after the birth year of two of three members of Ash, 1977 isnt an entirely consistent album. On one level it reeks of the radio friendly but vapid schlock Ive come to know and despise in recent years. On an entirely more inspired level there is some slight spark that recalls both Blur and Foo Fighters. The first song is by far the most troublesome of the entire album. It is here, on Lose Control, that the album is really hindered. The song for lack of a more appropriate word sucks. It sucks the life out of the largely superior songs that follow. Irish by birth but rather American in sound, Ash formed in 1992 when hometown friends Tim Wheeler (guitar, vocals) and Mark Hamilton (bass guitar) in addition to drummer Rick McMurray came together. In their mid-teens at the time, Ash was hailed as the next big thing before almost anybody had heard them. With the British hype machine in full force, Ash soon had a record deal which quickly resulted in the 1994 (1995 if you are talking about the painfully slow-to-release-uber-popular-UK-music US) release of Trailer. However it took until 1996 for Ash to make their full-length debut with 1977 (Trailer is actually regarded as an extended EP of sorts). 1977 is at the same time baffling as it is entertaining. The confusing moments come when the band slips into the stereotypical punk-pop role. Ive already mentioned the issues I have with Lose Control. Similarly, I find myself doubting the bands potency with unnecessarily abrasive songs Id Give You Anything (theres a definite hint of Black Sabbath here), feedback-laden and messy Innocent Smile, and the annoying and whiny (though less abrasive) Lost in You. On this album it is clear that Ash is better suited to songs rooted in pop rather than heavy metal or punk (gasp!). There are songs here that are plainly very good if not outstanding. They cant quite make up for the ones which are of sub-par quality, but they do still make it hard to ignore Ash. Im particularly drawn to the hilarious homage to Jackie Chan, Kung Fu. I honestly had no clue who the action star was in 1996, but clearly Ash did--not to mention name dropping the likes of the X-Men, Scooby Doo, Mr. Miagi, and (get this) Gary Glitter. Even better? The actual music is actually good. These are the only heavy guitars and even slight punk sounds I can stand on the entire album. How in the world can I say anything about a band that name drops the X-Men? But the modest, uneasy, jangly pop-rock songs Girl from Mars, Goldfinger, Gone the Dream, Let It Flow, and Lost in You. I appreciate that Ash can switch things up. One track they are punk-pop, another hard rock, and still another pop. Never able to be pigeonholed on 1977, the band certainly appeals to a variety of listeners. Had the songs been consistently GOOD I would have most definitely found something more to like in them. Unfortunately as it stands, the most I can say is that when Ash is good they are great and when they are bad they are derivative. 1977 is definitely a better than average album. The good songs mostly make up for the bad, but still I cant quite forgive the mistakes especially early on with the misrepresentative and painful Lose Control. Ash deserves kudos for songs both well written and well performed (especially as far as Wheelers even and crystalline vocals go). If youre looking for an album that crosses many boundaries and tries many things, 1977 might be a fine direction to look. If youd prefer your music to have some sort of clear idea of purpose definitely consider going elsewhere. In the context of Ashs career, 1977 is easily the best respected work. Since 1996, the band has released three subsequent albums: Nu-Clear Sounds (1998), Free All Angels (2002), and most recently 2004s Meltdown. All have been regarded as good, but somewhat lackluster offerings especially in comparison to the occasionally outstanding 1977. I suppose where you start your relationship with Ash is a personal decision. Choose wisely. Rating: 4/5 stars Track Listing: 01. Lose Control 02. Goldfinger 03. Girl from Mars 04. Id Give You Anything 05. Gone the Dream 06. Kung Fu 07. Oh Yeah 08. Let It Flow 09. Innocent Smile 10. Angel Interceptor 11. Lost in You 12. Darkside Lightside

King's College London (informally King's or KCL) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom, and a constituent college of the federal University of London. King's has a claim to being the third-oldest university in England, having been founded by King George IV and the Duke of Wellington in 1829, receiving its royal charter in the same year.[5][6][7] In 1836 King's became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London.[8][9]
King's is organised into nine Schools of Study, spread across four Thames-side campuses in central London and another in Denmark Hill, South London.[10] It is one of the largest centres for graduate and post-graduate medical teaching and biomedical research in Europe; it is home to six Medical Research Council centres, the most of any British university,[11] and is a founding member of the King's Health Partners academic health sciences centre. King's has around 18,600 full-time students and 5,030 staff and had a total income of £524.1 million in 2010/11, of which £147.1 million was from research grants and contracts.[1]
King's is ranked 63rd in the world (and 16th in Europe) in the 2010 Academic Ranking of World Universities,[12] 21st in the world (and 6th in Europe) in the 2010 QS World University Rankings,[13] and 77th in the world (and 15th in Europe) in the 2010 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.[14] There are currently 10 Nobel Prize laureates amongst King's alumni and current and former faculty.[15] In September 2010, The Sunday Times selected King's as its "University of the Year".[16]
King's is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, the Russell Group and Universities UK. It forms part of the 'Golden Triangle' of British universities.[17]
Contents |
King's, so named to indicate the patronage of King George IV, was founded in 1829 in response to the founding of "London University", latterly known as University College London, in 1826.[18] UCL was founded, with the backing of Jews, Utilitarians and non-Anglican Christians, as a secular institution, intended to educate "the youth of our middling rich people between the ages of 15 or 16 and 20 or later".[19] The need for such an institution was a result of the religious nature of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, which then educated solely the sons of wealthy Anglicans.[20] The foundation of UCL met with the disapproval of the establishment, indeed, "the storms of opposition which raged around it threatened to crush every spark of vital energy which remained".[21] The Revd Dr George D'Oyly, rector of Lambeth and governor of Wilson's School in Camberwell, opposing the secular nature of the college, published an open letter proposing the formation of a competing institution. This would be of a religious, and more particularly Anglican, nature, one which would instil, "the services of religion performed as directed in our National Church".[19] This prompted Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, the then Prime Minister to chair a public meeting which launched King's on 21 June 1828. His simultaneous support for the Anglican college and the Roman Catholic Relief Act, which was to lead to the granting of almost full civil rights to Catholics, was challenged by George Finch-Hatton, 10th Earl of Winchilsea in early 1829. The result was a duel in Battersea Fields on 21 March that year.[22] Deliberately off-target shots were fired by both and neither was hurt.[22] "Duel Day" is still celebrated on the first Thursday after 21 March every year, marked by various events throughout the College.[23]
King's opened in 1831, very much in a similar academic guise to Oxford. Despite the intentions of its founders and the chapel at the heart of its buildings, the initial prospectus permitted, "nonconformists of all sorts to enter the college freely".[24] Chemistry, English literature and Commerce were among the subjects offered.[20] At this time, neither King's, nor "London University" had the ability to confer degrees, a particular problem for medical students who wished to practise. Amending this situation was aided by the appointment of Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux as Lord Chancellor, who was chairman of the governors of "London University". In this position he automatically became a governor of King's. In the understanding that the government was unlikely to grant degree-awarding powers on two institutions in London, negotiations led to the colleges federating as the "University of London" in 1836, "London University" thus being changed to University College.[20]
King's professors played a part in scientific and social advances of the nineteenth century, through extending higher education to women, the working class, and by offering evening classes. One of the most famous pieces of scientific research performed at King's was the work by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin that was the basis of the elucidation of the molecular structure of DNA.
During World War II King's was evacuated out of London to Bristol University.
The first qualification issued by King's was the Associateship of King's College, or AKC. The course, which concerns questions of ethics and theology, is still awarded today to students (and staff) who take an optional three year course alongside their standard degree. Successful completion entitles the graduate to bear the letters AKC after their name.
The College today is the product of mergers with a number of other institutions over the years, including Queen Elizabeth College and Chelsea College of Science and Technology in 1985, and with the Institute of Psychiatry and the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals. Florence Nightingale's original training school for nurses is now incorporated as the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery. Today, there are nine schools of study (see below).
King's College School was created as King's Junior Department at the time of the College's founding. Originally situated in the basement of the Strand campus, the School relocated to Wimbledon in 1897. King's College School is no longer associated with King's College London.
In 2003 the College was granted degree-awarding powers in its own right, (as opposed to through the University of London) by the Privy Council. This power remained unexercised until 2007, when the College announced that all students starting courses from September 2007 onwards would be awarded degrees conferred by King's itself, rather than by the University of London. The new certificates however still make reference to the fact that King's is a constituent college of the University of London.[25] All current students with at least one year of study remaining were in August 2007 offered the option of choosing to be awarded a University of London degree or a King's degree. In 2007, for the second consecutive year, students from the King's College London School of Law won the national round of the Jessup International Law Moot Court. The Jessup moot is the biggest international mooting competition in the world. The King's team went on to represent the UK as national champions.[26]
The Strand Campus is the founding campus of King's. Located on the Strand in the City of Westminster, sharing its frontage along the River Thames. Most of the Schools of Arts & Humanities, Law, Social Science & Public Policy and Physical Sciences & Engineering are housed here. The campus combines the Grade I listed King's Building of 1831 designed by Sir Robert Smirke, and the Byzantine Gothic College Chapel, redesigned in 1864 by Sir George Gilbert Scott with the more modern Strand Building, completed in 1972. The Chesham Building in Surrey Street was purchased after the Second World War. The Macadam Building of 1975 houses King's College London Students Union's activities and is named after King's alumnus Sir Ivison Macadam, first President of NUS.
On February 2012, Queen Elizabeth II officially opened Somerset House East Wing, the new front door to King's College London, Strand Campus. The official launch of Somerset House East Wing comes after 18 months of restoration, which began when King's secured a 78 year lease for the building in 2009. The building is the home for Dickson Poon School of Law.
A National Trust-protected Roman Bath is situated on the site of the Strand Campus and can be accessed via the Surrey Street entrance. Hidden by surrounding College buildings, the Baths were mentioned by Charles Dickens in chapter thirty-five of David Copperfield. Moreover Aldwych tube station, a well-preserved but disused London Underground station, is integrated as part of the King's Strand campus. A Rifle Range is located on the site of a platform taken out of public service in 1917. (Nearest underground stations: Temple, Charing Cross, Covent Garden)
Guy's Hospital in the London Borough of Southwark, established in 1726, houses parts of King's College London School of Medicine. The founder and benefactor of the hospital, Thomas Guy, was a wealthy bookseller and a governor of St Thomas' Hospital. He lies buried in the vault beneath the 18th-century chapel at Guy's. Silk-merchant William Hunt was a later benefactor who gave money in the early nineteenth century to build Hunt's House. Today this is the site of New Hunt's House. The Henriette Raphael building, constructed in 1903, and the Gordon Museum are also located here. In addition, the Hodgkin building, Shepherd's House and Guy's chapel are prominent buildings within the campus. Guy's KCLSU centre is situated in Boland House. (Nearest underground stations: London Bridge, Borough)
Across Waterloo Bridge from the Strand Campus, the Waterloo Campus near the South Bank Centre in the London Borough of Lambeth consists of the James Clerk Maxwell Building and the Franklin-Wilkins Building, which was originally constructed between 1912 and 1915 as His Majesty's Stationery Office, but in 1915, the building was requisitioned for use as a hospital. It became the King George Military Hospital, and accommodated about 1,800 patients on 63 wards.[27] King's acquired the building in the 1980s. The James Clerk Maxwell Building houses the Principal's Office, most of the central administrative offices of the College and part of the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery. The Franklin-Wilkins Building is home to the School of Health & Life Sciences that includes Pharmacy, the Department of Education and to part of the School of Nursing & Midwifery. The campus is also home to the London site of Schiller International University. (Nearest underground station: Waterloo)
The St Thomas' Campus in the London Borough of Lambeth, facing the Houses of Parliament across the Thames, houses parts of the School of Medicine and the Dental Institute. The Florence Nightingale Museum is also located here. (Nearest underground station: Westminster)
Further south, King's College Hospital, the Maudsley Hospital and the Institute of Psychiatry form the Denmark Hill Campus, straddling the borders of the London Borough of Lambeth and the London Borough of Southwark in Camberwell, the only campus not situated on the River Thames. As well as the IoP, parts of the Dental Institute and School of Medicine, and a large hall of residence, King's College Hall, are housed here. The KCL library for this campus is on-site, known as the Weston Education Centre (WEC). (Nearest overground station: Denmark Hill)
King's is coming to the end of a decade of restorative and refurbishment projects, with investment of £550 million.[28] These include the Franklin-Wilkins Building at the Waterloo campus, the Maughan Library on Chancery Lane and the renovation of the chapel at the Strand campus at a cost of £750,000. The Strand Campus redevelopment won the Green Gown Award in 2007 for sustainable construction. The award recognised the 'reduced energy and carbon emissions from a sustainable refurbishment of the historic South Range of the King's Building'.[29] King's was also the recipient of the 2003 City Heritage Award for the conversion of the Grade II* listed Maughan Library.[30]
King's currently has the following nine constituent Schools of Study:
The Department of War Studies is unique in the UK, and is supported by facilities such as The Liddell Hart Centre for Military Archives, the Centre for Defence Studies,[31] and the King's Centre for Military Health Research.
The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) is administered through King's, and its students graduate alongside members of the departments which form the School of Arts & Humanities. As RADA does not have degree awarding powers, its courses are validated by King's.[32]
King's academic year runs from the last Monday in September to the first Friday in June.[33]
Graduation ceremonies are held in June or July, with ceremonies held in Southwark Cathedral for the School of Medicine and the Dental Institute and in the Barbican Centre for all other Schools.[34] Since 2008 King's graduates have worn gowns designed by Vivienne Westwood.[35]
In the financial year ended 31 July 2011 King's had a total income of £524.11 million (2009/10 – £508.05 million) and total expenditure of £496.61 million (2009/10 – £497.58 million).[1] Key sources of income included £147.21 million from Funding Council grants (2009/10 – £151.89 million), £147.1 million from research grants and contracts (2009/10 – £144.05 million), £130.75 million from tuition fees and education contracts (2009/10 – £118.4 million) and £5.49 million from endowment and investment income (2009/10 – £6.61 million).[1]
At year end King's had total endowments of £124.67 million (2009/10 – £115.23 million) and total net assets of £726.87 million (2009/10 – £683.58 million).[1] King's has a credit rating of AA from Standard & Poor's.[1]
The Sunday Times has ranked King's as the 6th most difficult UK university to gain admission to.[36] According to the 2008 Times Good University Guide approximately 30% of King's undergraduates come from independent schools.[37]
At the undergraduate level admission to King's is extremely competitive. In 2011 some courses, such as English, Law and Business Management, had 15 or more applicants per place or an acceptance rate of less than 7.5 percent.[38]
King's is the largest centre for healthcare education in Europe.[39] King's College London School of Medicine has over 2,000 undergraduate students, over 1,400 teachers, four main teaching hospitals – Guy's Hospital, King's College Hospital, St Thomas' Hospital and University Hospital Lewisham – and 17 associated district general hospitals.[40] King's College London Dental Institute is the largest dental school in Europe.[41] The Florence Nightingale School of Nursing & Midwifery is the oldest professional school of nursing in the world.[42]
King's is a major centre for biomedical research. It is a founding member of King's Health Partners, one of the largest academic health sciences centres in Europe with a turnover of over £2 billion and approximately 25,000 employees.[39] It also is home to six Medical Research Council centres, the most of any British university,[43] and is part of two of the twelve biomedical research centres established by the NHS in England – the Guy's & St Thomas'/King's College London Comprehensive Biomedical Research Centre and the South London and Maudsley/KCL Institute of Psychiatry Biomedical Research Centre.[44]
King's Drug Control Centre currently holds the official UK contract for running doping tests on UK athletes, and will likely continue to do so for the 2012 Olympics, to be held in London.[45]
King's library facilities are spread across its five campuses; the College's estate also includes the library at Bethlem Royal Hospital in the London Borough of Bromley.[46] The collections encompass over one million printed books, as well as thousands of journals and electronic resources.
The Maughan Library is housed in the Grade II* listed 19th century gothic former Public Record Office building situated on Chancery Lane near the Strand Campus. The building was designed by Sir James Pennethorne and is home to the books and journals of the School's of Humanities, Law, Physical Sciences & Engineering, and Social Science & Public Policy. It also houses the Special Collections and rare books. Inside the Library is the octagonal Round Reading Room, inspired by the reading room of the British Museum, and the former Rolls Chapel (renamed the Weston Room following a donation from the Garfield Weston Foundation) with its stained glass windows, mosaic floor and monuments, including an important Renaissance terracotta figure by Pietro Torrigiano of Dr Yonge, Master of the Rolls, who died in 1516.

Internationally, King's is consistently ranked among the top 100 universities in the world by all major global university rankings compilers, having been placed between 27th by the 2011 QS World University Rankings[62] and 56th worldwide by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings.[63]
According to the 2009 Times Good University Guide, several subjects taught at King's, including Law, History, War Studies (ranked under Politics), Classics, Spanish, Portuguese, Music, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Food Science are among the top five in the country.[64]
According to the 2010 Complete University guide, many subjects at King's, including Classics, English, French, Geography, German, History, Music, Philosophy and Theology, rank within the Top 10 nationally. The College has had 24 of its subject-areas awarded the highest rating of 5 or 5* for research quality,[28] and in 2007 it received a good result in its audit by the Quality Assurance Agency.[28] It is in the top tier for research earnings. In September 2010, the Sunday Times selected King's as the "University of the Year 2010/11" taking the position from last year's winner Oxford University.[citation needed]
King's College London Students' Union (KCLSU) is the oldest student union in London, founded just before University College London Union, and provides a good range of activities and services: over 50 sports clubs (including the Boat Club which rows on the River Thames and the Rifle Club which uses the College's shooting range located at the disused Aldwych tube station beneath the Strand Campus), 60 societies, a wide range of volunteering opportunities, 2 bars, 2 nightclubs, shops, eating places and a gym. A former President of KCLSU, Sir Ivison Macadam (after whom the Students' Union building on the Strand Campus has since been named) went on to be elected as the first President of the National Union of Students, and KCLSU has played an active role there and in the University of London Union ever since.
Roar is KCLSU's monthly magazine. It carries stories, reviews and features on a range of topics, reporting on Students' Union events, campaigns, clubs and societies, as well as coverage of the arts, books and fashion. King's Bench, has grown from strength to strength, challenging the dominance Roar once had in the media spectrum.[65] It is published tri-annually and welcomes contributions from all of King's students, either for publication in its printed edition, or on its website. The College itself also publishes a range of periodicals reporting on various aspects of King's.[66]
In the 1970s, the King's mascot, "Reggie", was buried upside-down in a pit near Waterloo Station, which was filled with concrete; only the tip of his tail remained visible. Later, he was lost for many years in the 1990s, and not recovered until he was found in a field. Having been restored at the cost of around £15,000, Reggie has been placed on display in the KCLSU Student Centre at the Strand Campus. Protected in a glass case, he is filled with concrete to prevent theft, particularly by UCL students who, prior to his burial and dumping, had also castrated him. (King's students had also stolen one UCL mascot, Phineas and, in an apocryphal legend, allegedly played football with the head of Jeremy Bentham's Auto-icon).
There are three "Reggies" in existence: the original, on display in KCLSU's Student Centre at the Strand Campus, a papier-mâché Reggie outside the Great Hall at the Strand Campus (pictured above), and a small sterling silver incarnation displayed during Graduation ceremonies.
Competition within the University of London is most intense between King's and University College London, the two oldest institutions. In the early twentieth century, King's College London and UCL rivalry was centred on their respective mascots.[67] University College's was Phineas Maclino, a wooden tobacconist's sign of a kilted Jacobite Highlander purloined from outside a shop in Tottenham Court Road during the celebrations of the relief of Ladysmith in 1900.
King's later addition was a giant beer bottle representing "bottled youth". In 1923 it was replaced by a new mascot to rival Phineas – Reggie the Lion, who made his debut at a King's-UCL sporting rag in December 1923, protected by a lifeguard of engineering students armed with T-squares. Thereafter, Reggie formed the centrepiece of annual freshers' processions by King's students around Aldwych in which new students were typically flour bombed.
Although riots between respective College students occurred in central London well into the 1950s, rivalry is now limited to the rugby union pitch and skulduggery over mascots, with an annual Varsity match taking place between King's College London RFC and University College London RFC.[68]
Tensions between King's and the London School of Economics (LSE) were ignited on 2 December 2005 when at least 200 students from LSE (across the road from the Strand campus) diverted off from the annual "barrel run" and caused an estimated £32,000 (The Beaver, LSE, 26 September 2006) of damage to the English department at King's.[69] Principal Rick Trainor called for no retaliation and LSE Students' Union were forced to issue an apology as well as foot the bill for the damage repair. While LSE officially condemned the action, a photograph was published in the Beaver (the LSE SU Student Newspaper) which was later picked up by the Times that showed LSE Director Sir Howard Davies drinking with members of the LSE Students' Union shortly before the barrel run – and the "rampage" – began. King's appears to have been targeted, however, principally owing to its close proximity to LSE rather than by any ill-feeling. There is also somewhat of a sporting rivalry between the two institutions, albeit to a lesser extent than with UCL.
King's has six halls of residence located throughout London. They are:
King's also has the largest number of bedspaces in the University of London Intercollegiate Halls.[70] The halls are:
Some students are also selected to live in International Students House, London.

Who killed Alberto Nisman? part 3
The death of Alberto Nisman in his Buenos Aires apartment continues to give rise to troubling revelations something other than the suicide that appeared to be the cause of his death. Nisman was of course the Argentine prosecutor who charged the Iranian regime with the bombing of the 1994 Jewish community center; 85 Argentinians were killed in the bombing, the worst terror attack in the country's history. Nisman was killed »
Why did Netanyahu accept Boehner's invitation?
The Obama administration reportedly is fuming over Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to accept Speaker Boehner's invitation to address Congress, which Netanyahu made without consulting the White House. The Israeli Prime Minister will "pay a price," an administration official told an Israeli newspaper. Obama has perfected the art of ginning up grievances against Netanyahu and using them to seek concessions from Israel, as Netanyahu tries to smooth things over. I assume there's »
Who killed Alberto Nisman? part 2
The news related to the death of Argentine prosecutor Alberto Nisman this past Sunday is arriving in torrent. Nisman was killed under suspicious circumstances on the eve of the explosive testimony he was to give regarding his government's complicity with Iran to suppress the investigation of the 1994 Jewish community center bombing; the suspicious circumstances include the staging of his death as an apparent suicide. The New York Times reports »
What Blinken said
We took a brief look at the comments made by Senator Robert Menendez at the Senate Foreign Relations Commitee hearing earlier this week here. The witnesses before the committee were Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Under Secretary David Cohen. The committee hearing addressed the issued related to our negotiations with Iran over its illicit nuclear program. C-SPAN has posted the nearly three-hour hearing in its entirety here. »
What Menendez said
Senator Robert Menendez is the ranking (Democratic) member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This morning at a committee hearing he said this to Deputy Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Treasury Under Secretary (and prospective CIA deputy director) David Cohen: "I have to be honest with you, the more I hear from the administration and its quotes, the more it sounds like talking points that come straight out of »
Who killed Alberto Nisman?
Circumstantial evidence suggests that Alberto Nisman committed suicide at his Buenos Aires apartment on Sunday. Within Argentina, however, this circumstantial evidence has been treated with substantial skepticism. The New York Times conveys the suspicions in an article by Jonathan Gilbert and Simon Romero: "Puzzling death of a prosecutor grips Argentina." Christopher Dickey's Daily Beast article puts Nisman's death in the context of the ongoing war between Israel and Iran. Next »
The lonesome death of Alberto Nisman
The BBC reports that Argentinian prosecutor Alberto Nisman was found dead on Sunday. He was found in a pool of blood with a gunshot wound to his head at his apartment in Buenos Aires. The BBC report notes that a gun and a cartridge shell were found next to Nisman's body. The Times of Israel has more here and the Wall Street Journal has more here. One would infer from »
At the Sterling trial
Last week the government commenced its prosecution of former CIA official Jeffrey Sterling for violation of the Espionage Act. The government alleges that Sterling leaked the details of a program intended to undermine Iran's nuclear program to New York Times reporter James Risen. The program was subject to a security classification indicating its extreme sensitivity. Sterling did not publicly disclose the details of the CIA program; he laundered them through »
Making sense of Obama's counter-intuitive approach to negotiations with Iran
Last week, President Obama and British Prime Minister Cameron pleaded with Congress not to pass new sanctions legislation against Iran. Such legislation, which has strong bipartisan support, could undermine ongoing negotiations, they argued. "Just hold your fire" until we complete negotiations, Obama urged. But Obama's position seems nonsensical on its face. The sanctions legislation Congress contemplates passing does exactly what Obama instructs Congress to do. As the Washington Post's editors »
Obama's donation, behind closed doors
Recent developments involving the Islamic Republic of Iran can fairly be characterized as grave. Iran has announced that it has begun construction on two more nuclear plants, and the authorities have imprisoned a Washington Post journalist on mysterious charges. Iran's actions are provocative. The gravity of the regime's provocation is compounded by the complacent attitude of President Obama and his administration. According to the State Department, the new nuclear reactors »
Stockholm syndrome at the Washington Post
Stockholm syndrome occurs when hostages express empathy, sympathy, and/or positive feelings about their captors, even to the point of identifying with and/or defending them. The Washington Post, whose reporter Jason Rezaian has been imprisoned in Tehran for more than five months, appears to be experiencing something resembling Stockholm syndrome. Consider this article by Carol Morello. She reports that Iran's foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, has expressed concern about what he »
Risen rules
New York Times reporter James Risen was subpoenaed to testify in the prosecution of CIA officer Jeffrey Sterling. Sterling is under prosecution for blowing a CIA program intended to undermine Iran's nuclear program. The program was subject to a security classification indicating its extreme sensitivity. To no discernible public good, Risen publicized the program in his book State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration. »
While Obama dithered, Iran profited
If one headline summarizes 2014, it's the title of this post (I say so in all modesty). It is a multi-purpose headline — one that applies, at a minimum, to Iraq, Syria, and Iran itself. When it comes to Iraq, no one has stated the facts more clearly than James Jeffrey, who served under President Obama as the U.S. ambassador to Iraq from 2010-2012. Here, via the Washington Post, is »
Assad and ISIS are 2014′s biggest winners, thanks in part to Obama
During the next few days, pundits will be designating their "winners and losers" of 2014. There can be little doubt about the year's two biggest winners. Clearly, they are Bashar al-Assad and ISIS. Third place goes to Iran, which finds itself in greatly improved economic shape and within striking distance of becoming a nuclear power. But that's nothing compared to Assad's remarkable, turnaround year. As Seth Mandel, quoting NPR, reminds »
Oil, Oil, Toil and Trouble (Update 4)
There's a mountain of economic research that suggests predatory pricing, the alleged sin of Standard Oil way back in the Rockefeller "robber baron" days more than a century ago, really doesn't work, as the predator won't recoup monopoly gains to make up the loss of profit during the period of predation—the more so the longer the period of price cutting takes. The Saudis likely know this, which suggests their decision »

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
We were looking for a grill that would heat quickly and evenly, and be easy to clean. The Presto 7050 does all of that and more. I can plug it in, set it for 350 and by the time I get the bacon from the fridge the grill surface is hot enough to begin cooking. Nice surface, works well with eggs and pancakes. The heat seems to be distributed evenly. The legs fold to make storage easier. Has a large drip catcher as well.
Amount Paid (US$): 29.99

A considerate restaurant reviewer doesn't just go to a restaurant, sample its food and come back to write about how the food tasted. He or she should thoughtfully consider whether and why that particular eatery is at all worth mentioning. So when I heard about a cafe-restaurant opening in the trade fair district, Muang Thong Thani, my biggest doubt was if the place was good enough for my readers' journey uptown - if only I had known that the answer was waiting for me on the plate.
