02.06.2013 /
The Erzbergrodeo, the world's toughest Hard Enduro, drew to a close on Sunday with the notorious Red Bull Hare Scramble, the event that anchors the tiny Austrian town of Eisenerz in the hearts and minds of motorcycle enthusiasts all over the world.
This year event organizers not only laid down a torturous route up the mountain; the weather also delivered rain, snow, wind and standing water that reduced even the toughest of riders to near tears.
The Hare Scramble's 500 starters lined up in rows at the bottom of the mountain in what was a lake of standing water so deep it reached near the top of their boots. Only 10 made it to the top inside the four-hour limit and each experienced almost every human emotion on the way up. To even finish the Red Bull Hare Scramble is a massive plus for any competitive rider.
Winner in 2013 was Graham Jarvis, the Husaberg veteran that has this year dominated other Hard Enduro events. A potential winner who was in the past two times disqualified for missing checkpoints, this was a popular victory for the UK rider. Andreas Lettenbichler, another veteran was second while young Spanish rider Alfredo Gomez took the third podium place.
KTM factory rider Jonny Walker, winner in 2012 was bitterly disappointed to finish one minute after Gomez in fourth place. The 22-year old was a pre-race favorite with his KTM 300 EXC and secured a front row start but his bike was swamped with water in the chaos at the start. The time he lost certainly cost him a shot at the podium, given that he fought his way back to a stellar fourth at the finish. "If I had to describe my race in one word, I wouldn't be able to do it," Walker said. "Last year every fine detail went my way but this year luck wasn't on my side. I'm not satisfied with my fourth place and I will try again next year. Luckily the Red Bull Romaniacs is just around the corner and I'll try to do better there."
Other KTM riders who made it into the Honor Role of Hare Scramble finishers were Taichi Tanaka of Japan at seventh and KTM Enduro factory rider Ivan Cervantes, riding Erzberg for the first time at eighth250 EXC. Both Tanaka and Cervantes said it had been the hardest race of their careers. Tanaka: "It was much hard than last year. I had a great fight with Dougie Lampkin in the forest and we were passing each other all the time. There was a new section on the mountain that was not possible without some help. Last year I didn't need any assistance but this year Dougie and I helped each other, otherwise it would have been the end for me and him. Because of this I'm happy with my result."
Cervantes also paid tribute to five-times winner and KTM teammate Taddy Blazusiak. "I have even more respect for him having won here five times, that's practically unbelievable. I am satisfied that I finished, but not with my place. I should have been in the top five. I want to come back and try again if I can fit it into my race calendar. If I manage it then I want to be on the podium."
Undoubtedly the unluckiest rider in this year's event was Red Bull Hare Scramble pole sitter and local favorite Lars Enöckl. The Austrian and KTM test rider was brilliant in the prologue and as fastest qualifier had the prime position on the front row. His bike was so flooded with water in the start mayhem that it ended his race before it began.
This year the five-times winner Blazusiak was only present as a spectator. He said it was a new experience for him to be at Erzberg and not compete. "I injured by wrist at the Barcelona X-Games and I had a lot pain in training this week. It doesn't make any sense to start at Erzberg if you're not 100% fit. I'd rather wait to see if my race calendar allows me to start next year," he said. Taddy now returns to the US for the next round of the US EnduroCross Championship in Sacramento.
The Erzbergrodeo draws riders from all over the world. Thousands try, few succeed and after this weekend, thousands more will have it down in their mental diaries as a must do during their racing careers. And while this year the weather showed itself with its nastiest side, the event still went off smoothly, certainly also a tribute to the man behind the competition, Austrian Karl Katoch and his team.
KTM Factory Racing Extreme Enduro Team Manager Alex Doringer paid tribute to the winner Jarvis and to the organizers. "The day before yesterday we had 20 cm of snow and today conditions were more extreme than any other in the 19 years of the event. It was a worthy victory for Graham Jarvis. He is a difficult man to beat in such unusual conditions. This time luck was not on our side. Jonny Walker was a hot favorite to defend his title. He was briefly in the lead at the start but there was too much water in his engine, which was a big disappointment at the beginning of the race. He really showed his class by making up so much ground and it certainly cost him plenty of energy to fight back to fourth place. It was also a sensational result for Taichi Tanka who finished for the third time in a row and the greatest respect for Ivan Cervantes who finished eighth for time out."

The UFO-like Domespace rotating wooden house
The Harmonique version can be rotated to make the most of passive solar energy, to make sure any photovoltaic panels are always in the best position or just to get a better view
Article Summary
Taking up a large section of the Eco Habitat zone at the recent Viv'expo exhibition in Bordeaux was a walk-in cutaway model of a rotating wooden house known as Domespace. Built on a central concrete pedestal, the Domespace home benefits from little or no damp penetration, and its aerodynamic shape has been found to be resistant to cyclonic winds of up to 174mph (280kph). It also makes the most of passive solar energy, has a central chimney with a designer open fire and is surprisingly spacious.

People have been getting a bit carried away with this 1M hype. BMW reveals part of a fender and everyone "ooohs" and "aaahs" as if the messiah of the motoring world was revealed. Recently, BMWblog posted an article, "Top 10 Reasons Why The 1M Will Rock Your World." We asked BMWblog on twitter what about presenting the other side for a balanced view and were rebuked with, "They can start their own top 10." So, that is exactly what we did.
Top 10 Reasons to not get caught up in the 1M Coupe Hype:
1. The 1M brings the M brand downscale. It essentially completes the dilution of the brand. There was a time where BMW was apprehensive of putting the M badge on just anything and did not want to be like AMG in this respect. M stood for something and was special, it was not a badge you would often see.
2. Rumors are it is manual only. Why? What is with this inconsistency from BMW? They have been shoving paddle shifters down our throats since the dawn of SMG and now all of a sudden they want to show that the manual is "pure?" Well what message is this sending for the M5/M6 which will be DCT only just like the the E60 M5 was SMG only for the rest of the world? Is it truly manual only to keep it "pure" or to keep it from encroaching on M3 territory as well as keeping the cost down? So the next generation M5/M6 will not be pure? Huh?
3. It is coming at the end of the E82 lifespan. Market reach will be very limited which potentially limits aftermarket engine development due to the small base as well as coming with BMW's new anti-tuning measures.
4. Outdated before it hits. The next generation 1 series is already testing, this model was done with before this car even came out.
5. Performance will be kept in check on purpose to not step on the toes of the M3. This car will not be as good as it can be out of the gate.
6. You can exceed the performance today with a 135i with an aftermarket LSD, coil-overs, and a JB3 tune from BMS, exceeding the performance significantly for less money. Not to mention you can get a DCT.
7. Marks the end of naturally aspirated motors for M cars, namely the inline-6's that BMW M made their name with. No matter what they do to the motor, it will never be as impressive or respond as well as an S54, stock or modified.
8. This model represents BMW abandoning its principles for profit and volume. This is no longer the company that made every M model special and was the small guy taking on the big names. Now BMW can just take any base motor, up the boost, stiffen the suspension, change the bumper, and call it an M. This is the beginning of a giant whose goal is simply to destroy everything in its path. They sacrificed their soul for monetary gain and M ideals for marketing.
9. Just will not be a true M, no matter how hard they try to convince us it is. The younger audience won't care, but the hardcore M fans will. A real M car has a naturally aspirated motor that screams with instant response begging to be revved. A real M has a motor not available in base models. A real M does not take shortcuts. We don't care how BMW tries to spin this, they know it is the truth and what was just stated is exactly what they used to once state.
10. This car will be superb, but it marks the end of an era. It marks the end of an era where M's were rare and special. Cars that had motors that won endless awards due to their engineering prowess in squeezing out every last naturally aspirated horse. Cars that did not take shortcuts. BMW will now be able to get away with simply taking base motors and adding more boost, calling them M's. It will no doubt handle well, look good, and be fun to drive. To those of you who don't truly care about history or tradition, it will bring you joy. For us though, this car is bittersweet.

10 Reasons not to get caught up in the E82 1M Coupe Hype
This article was originally published in forum thread: 10 Reasons not to get caught up in the E82 1M Coupe Hype started by Sticky View original post69 Comments-
No one cares about the GTS, its not available in the US. Anyways the 1m is going to be faster than the m3 around the track and most definitely quicker in the 1/4 mile with very little tunning.
1. Why do you think they are downscaling M? I highly doubt this car will be sold for less than 50k. That is still a lot of money to many buyers.
2. The only thing "Pure" IMO is the speculation.
3-4. Build it and they will come. Perhaps it is a test water for the future. This car will be embraced, parts will happen even in low builds that creates a uniqueness that others will love and the "mass" produced M owners will hate.
5. M3 is the benchmark sports car, it out performs the M6. What makes you think that wont happen in the future?
6. Not with a warranty.
7. Welcome to Bimmerboost!
8. I see them as keeping pace with other car manufacturers world wide, SRT, AMG. BMW didn't start that war, they are just joining the fight!
9. Hardcore fan's. The BMW 2002 Turbo was launched at the 1973 was BMW's first production turbo, it produced 170 hp (127 kW) at 5,800 rpm, with 240 N·m (180 lb·ft) of torque. IMO History is just repeating itself.
10. A new "Beginning" is upon us.
Sorry, if I sounds like I'm taking pop shots Sticky. I think this will be a great car. At least I hope.
GG, read this please: http://www.bimmerboost.com/showthrea...1516#post51516
Any forced induction car will be quicker than the M3 with little tuning. It isn't a fair comparison. The M3 with an SC though will be out of reach. So what do you want, cheap tuning, or ultimately more power? I made my choice.
It not being in the US is yet another problem but we can delve into that later. Does not change the fact this won't be out lapping that particular M3, which is what the M3 really should have been.

Well as it is It appears that with the 1m you can have both cheap power and ultimately more power. You say a M3 with SC would be out of reach but the 1M is probably going to get and aftermarket turbo/turbos shortly after it goes on sale and its going to blow a supercharged m3 out of the water.
Yes, an M3 with SC will be out of reach. You are limited with fueling on the DI motors, it isn't like an EVO or STI where you just strap on a bigger turbo and bigger injectors. I won't even get into the fuel pump issues when taxing the fuel system.
Plus, SC M3's are very fast, I don't think you understand what you are saying. There is no such thing as more power than an SC M3 on an N54 for "cheap." Even upgraded turbos are still short by 100+ whp, and that is with M3's on single digit boost. Wait until you see what is in store.

Hahahah, what? Frank, you have no idea what you are talking about.

I'm not sure what you mean you keep hearing, that is what things are like right now. You really think you are going to upgrade a turbo and all of a sudden have 600+ whp, which is what it would take to run with an SC M3? The fueling system doesn't even support that kind of power output, not like BMW is going to redesign it or abandon direct injection for this car.
Regarding what is in store, lower compression M3's. When M3's get low compression, rape occurs, to paraphrase others.
I will say the e36 m3 can be modded easier then most car's mentioned here, and is lighter/more fun. With age these cars gain weight, and make them some what less fun. Easier tuning is more fun. Its annoying that the n54 based cars have many issues with going to big power with failing pumps, and next to impossible to get larger injectors. Makes children weep at night like a beeping Hpf car.

You all need to STFU. Your bickering over this car is worthless. If BMW sucks so much, quit f*cking buying them. Instead of making your own 10 reasons to $#@!, go make your own car company and make all the decisions. I'm not interested in the 1M but damn. I just wasted like 10 minutes reading bull$#@!.

Tick: A pest. A problematic insect. Also refered to as a BoRe. The tick/BoRe easily gets under your skin causing irritation. The Tick/BoRe seems to be found in most parts of the world. It is an annoyance to nearly every known creature. It's only known natural enemy is 2 species found within the UK. They are commonly refered to as the "Lion1" and "Lion2". The tick/BoRe immediatly runs/retreats at the sight of these creatures. The only known cure for the tick/BoRe is the use of the "ignore" feature.

A small insect that attaches it's self to other living creatures and sucks their blood thus gaining the name pest. Ticks must be removed from the body or it will cause serious damage to the host such as blood loss. If ticks are found on animals it is best to get them to the vet asap.
Jessie a 9 week old puppy masstif was coverd in more then 1,000 ticks and if she wasn't found when she was she would of died of blood loss.

The console format isn't anywhere near expressive enough. XKB's file format is _too_ expressive and complex for sure, and indeed I'd like to shift to another format. But the console keymaps simply do not let you do quite a number of things that you need for usable keyboard handling on the desktop. Having a new file format would definitely be a win at some stage, but the stark reality is that everyone uses XKB keymaps, and there are a huge number of them that people need to be able to use their computers. Changing file format without a clean conversion is a complete non-starter.
Historically, it had too many esoteric layouts that weren't widely used, but these have almost all been shuffled out to a separate 'extra' ruleset now. Being able to turn those off at install time so they're not installed at all would be a huge boon.
The code can absolutely get a lot smaller. It's been on the backburner for a while as I've been busy with a lot of other stuff, but I'll hopefully get to it at some stage.
You're not going to get away from XKB. Yes, it has its flaws (believe me, many of them), but it's so deeply embedded in the X protocol - and Xlib API/ABI which we can never change - that you cannot have a usable desktop X11 implementation without XKB. For Wayland, my current solution has been to pare down the XKB parser to the bare essentials that both clients and server require for useful and fully-capable keyboard input and then see where that takes us in terms of file format. I've already been able to deprecate quite a few features and remove a fair bit of complexity, and I'm not done yet. But for X11, I'm afraid you're pretty much stuck with XKB as it is from now until the end of days.

While risk has a variety of meanings, within the realm of insurance and risk management, risk is an uncertainty about an outcome an organization takes, whether that outcome is positive or negative. All activities in an organization involve risk.
Risks can be associated in a variety of categories including;
-health & safety;
-environmental and many more.
Risks are also categorized throughout many levels at an organization depending upon their impact. These levels may include organization wide risks, project or process specific risks or strategic risks.
Risk management is a defined set of coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to risk. Risk management can be quickly described in three key steps: identify, analyze and treat. Throughout each step of this process, it is important that risk managers work closely with the risk owners to gather accurate information regarding their risks, to appropriately assess the risk and then ensure that the necessary mitigation is being developed. Identifying risks early on allows for the organization to create mitigation strategies and achieve its goals.
• Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a coordinated set of processes that enables risks to be identified, analyzed and prioritized to meet the university's key objectives.
• Once prioritization is determined, mitigation is developed, implemented and monitored.
• When a risk becomes fully mitigated, the mitigation plan is updated to reflect the ongoing monitoring plan.
The risk criteria should be defined by an organization and used to evaluate whether or not something is a risk. The criteria should embody the organizations values and objectives and be aimed at the organizations overall goal. When setting criteria for an organization, some can be easily developed from legal and compliance standards, while other criteria may be based on the type of organization for which your program is developed for.
The risk management program should develop from an organization's mission statement. Here at NYU, we are a leading institution of higher education and set high standards for our University community. Our commitment is to creating an environment that is diverse and inclusive, while educating and leading the way in higher education.

"Fabulous Series"
This is among the funniest audiobooks I've ever listened to. I keep listening to the three Cabin Pressure series (& the Christmas Special) and they don't lose their appeal.
In this series, one of the most memorable moments was in the second play - the airdot is transporting a chamber orchestra to Gdansk, one of the passengers is convinced that everyone is trying to kill her. There's an interesting game going on between the pilots and Carolyn - trying to remember the names of all the seven dwarves and Arthur trying to help Martin win a bet against Douglas.
The performers; Stephanie Cole as Carolyn Knapp-Shappey, owner of MJN Air, Arthur Shappey, her son and steward, Roger Allam as Douglas Richardson, First Officer and Benedict Cumberbatch as Martin Crieff, the Captain, bring the characters to life in a way that reading the plays wouldn't.
Yes. This book packs a real emotional punch. I am a very fast reader and I think that I might have missed the full impact if I had been reading the book.
The death of Henrietta Lacks, finding out the fate of her daughter Elsie and the end of the book almost took my breath away. I also really enjoyed the interview with the author, Rebecca Skloot.
The narrators brought the Lacks' family to life in a way that I think I would have been unable to if I had been reading the book.
Yes. I couldn't stop listening to this book. Everytime I was forced to stop listening (I can't listen at work) this book was all I could think about. I listened in the car to and from work, at home, whilst cleaning the house, walking. Everywhere.
The reason I was bought this book is that during a college lecture, the lecturer talked about the HeLa cell line and mentioned - in passing - that the cells were taken from a women Henrietta Lacks in the 1950s. My interest was piqued - who was she? Why were her cells immortal? Where are her family? How did she live her life? The lecturer moved on and college assignments piled up. During my college summer holidays, Audible recommended this book this book to me. Some might say it was fate! All my questions have been answered and as a scientist, there is a lot that I need to remember, bioethics is not just a word. As a society there is a discussion we need to have.
"Funny, funny, funny!"
I love the Cabin Pressure series. They are all hilarious.
The other Cabin Pressure series.
I've got all the Cabin Pressure series and I listen to them over and over again. This is at the high standard you can expect, not only from John Finnemore's writing, but also from Stephanie Cole, Roger Allam, Benedict Cumberbatch and John Finnemore as performers.
I don't want to mention my favourite moment as it's a spoiler - it's the very end - and as Arthur says it's Brilliant!
"Love it! It's sheer joy!"
Yes, absolutely. And I do, all the time.
Cabin Pressure is a series consisting of six plays, so it's not comparable to books.
Again, Cabin Pressure is a series consisting of plays, and you don't get the same experience reading plays as you do from having them performed. Stephanie Cole is wonderful as Carolyn Knapp-Shappy, CEO and hostess of MJN Air, and the interplay between her and Douglas Richardson, the first officer played by Roger Allam is fantastic. Benedict Cumberbatch plays Martin Crieff, the hapless Captain of the "airdot" and John Finnemore plays Arther Shappey, the ever cheerful steward.
John Finnemore writes the series and has managed to place the characters in such bizzare and perverse situations, you can't help but cringe and laugh.
"Abridged?! No!"
I broke my rule and bought an abridged book, because Benedict Cumberbatch was the narrator... and now I need to go and find the rest of this book... I wonder if Benedict Cumberbatch would narrate them...?
Just buy this book, enjoy the experience of Casanova's words and experiences read by Benedict Cumberbatch... "sigh"
But be prepared for the 5 hours to end far too quickly...
"Interesting stories, great narrator."
Having recently re-read Sir Arthur Cona Doyle's novels and watched the BBC's adaption of Sherlock Holmes, this seemed like a great way to continue enjoying Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The four stories are diverting enough, but it is Benedict Cumberbatch's performance that makes the audiobook. His American accent isn't great, but I personally can live with that. Each story is only 30 minutes long, which is a good length. I was disappointed when the fourth story finished.
I couldn't stop listening to this book. It pulled me in and wouldn't let me go until it was done. Telling a story dealing with issues as contentious and sad as this through the eyes of a 10 year old boy is a brave and hard thing to do. It could have gone spectacularly wrong, but it works wonderfully.
There are were a couple of times when the audio skipped, but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the book, and David Tennant reads wonderfully, bringing all the characters and emotions to life.

The hardest working man in Hollywood, Guillermo del Toro (Pacific Rim), is going to see yet another one of his projects come to light. Only this time it will be on FX. Del Toro and Carlton Cruse (LOST) on working on an adaptation of of del Toro's co-written trilogy of books known as The Strain. FX has announced that they plan to give The Strain a full 13 episodes for its first season.
The "first season of the show that focuses on the outbreak of a vampire virus. Corey Stoll will star as Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the man tasked with investigating the virus and saving the day".
The trilogy has also been adapted into a comic series by Dark Horse. Here is the synopsis (via Dark Horse Comics) of the first trade paper back "Unable to kill the Master—the powerful vampire behind the epidemic infesting New York City—Dr. Ephraim Goodweather begins to self-destruct as battle lines are drawn. It's now up to a handful of humans—an ailing pawnbroker, an exterminator, a scientist, a gangbanger, and an alcoholic—to stop an ancient evil from devouring the human race! This collection includes issues #1–#4 of the acclaimed series and the short story featured in Dark Horse Presents".
There is no official release date for the series yet.

Has anyony read these books? Being a fan of Toro's I almost picked these up but, I already have a shelf full of books wanting for me to read. Plus I agree with Iridan that I'm a little vampired out. I would be intrested to know if they are any good.
The series was excellent and I highly recommend it. It is a different take on vampires that I found very interesting and gritty. No sparkling, moon-eyed vamps here. Just good old rip-your-friggin-throat-out vampires, with a modern twist!
wow. look at those fingers! No problem finding the G-spot girls! Is anyone as tired on vampires as I am...?
Thanks guys, I like the sound of them being hard core vampires instead of being a romance tool. I think I will give them a try.
Del Toro and Hogan remake Vamps with this series. They make them Monsters again, with a capital M. They make them scary and creepy again. These two actually come up with a plot goal for vamps, as a whole, That I had never considered before. But now that I've seen it, I know it should be the "endgame" for any real vampire.
Please don't mis this. You will be doing yourself a Huge disservice.
The first book is okay. The story is good, thought the writing is awful. If you were to make a drinking game on simile usage, you wouldn't last the first few chapters. The description of the eclipse alone has something like 9 different similes and metaphores.
The series completely goes off the rails by Night Eternal.

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
This course is geared toward practicing design and construction engineers who routinely deal with soil and foundation problems but have little theoretical background in soil mechanics or foundation engineering. The course takes a project-oriented approach whereby the soils input to a bridge project is followed from conception to completion. In each phase of the project, the soil concepts will be developed into specific foundation designs and recommendations. The classroom presentation includes a variety of exercises to verify achievement of learning objectives. Each participant will take away a comprehensive reference manual on soils and foundations and a participant workbook containing a copy of all slides presented and completed exercises.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Personnel from the following units at the transportation agency could benefit from this workshop: geotechnical, bridge design, roadway design, materials, construction, and maintenance. The personnel who will benefit the most are the first-line supervisors involved in the design of highway structures and embankments. The greatest impact will be achieved by convincing structural, design, and construction engineers to use procedures from this course as a guide for routine geotechnical work. All attendees should be encouraged to attend the entire course, not just sections that are in their specialty. One of the major benefits of this course is to give engineers an appreciation of activities outside their specialties that influence, or are influenced by, the work of the geotechnical engineer.

I think it's pretty obvious why Direct3D contributions have decreased. They don't want the free version to outperform the paid version, because then no one would buy the paid version. Same thing applies to bug fixes.
For me Wine has always been a toy. On the other hand, I'm really happy with VirtualBox and a pirated copy of Windows XP.

The Messenger
Conservatives in the House of Representatives really had no choice but to postpone debate over increasing the national debt ceiling, as they have now voted to do. President Barack Obama and liberals in the U.S. Senate have won the public relations battle over whether to cut government spending, as the conservatives want.
But the national debt is nearly $16.5 trillion and growing by leaps and bounds. Tax increases demanded by Obama have been enacted, but very few spending cuts are on the horizon.
Obama had demanded Congress increase the debt ceiling with no requirement for spending cuts. The House did that, providing a four-month extension if only the Senate will approve a budget � something it has not even debated since 2009.
So the tax-and-spend crowd has won again.
Conservatives� task is simple: The public must be convinced, in effect, that money does not grow on trees. That needs to be accomplished by mid-May, when the debt ceiling will be debated again � and conservatives simply must insist on a plan to reduce federal spending.

Chair, Professor BETTY ZIMMERBERG
Advisory Committee: Professors: P. SOLOMON***, H. WILLIAMS***, ZIMMERBERG, ZOTTOLI. Assistant Professors: HUTSON*, N. SANDSTROM. Visiting Assistant Professor: MARVIN§§.
Neuroscience is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary field concerned with understanding the relationship between brain, mind, and behavior. The interdisciplinary nature of the field is apparent when surveying those who call themselves neuroscientists. Among these are anatomists, physiologists, chemists, psychologists, philosophers, computer scientists, linguists, and ethologists. The areas that neuroscience addresses are equally diverse and range from physiological and molecular studies of single neurons, to investigations of how systems of neurons produce phenomena such as vision and movement, to the study of the neural basis of complex cognitive phenomena such as memory, language, and consciousness. Applications of neuroscience research are rapidly growing and include the development of drugs to treat neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, the development of noninvasive techniques for imaging the human brain such as PET scans and MRI, and the development of methods for repair of the damaged human brain such as the use of brain explants. Combining this wide range of disciplines, areas of research, and application for the study of a single remarkably complex organ-the brain-requires a unique interdisciplinary approach. The Neuroscience Program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to explore this approach.
The program in neuroscience consists of five courses including an introductory course, three electives, and a senior course. In addition, students are required to take two courses, Biology 101 and Psychology 101, as part of the program.
Neuroscience (Neuroscience 201) is the basic course and provides the background for other neuroscience courses. Ideally, this will be taken in the sophomore year. Either Biology 101 or Psychology 101 serves as the prerequisite. Electives are designed to provide in-depth coverage including laboratory experience in specific areas of neuroscience. At least one elective course is required in Biology (Group A) and one in Psychology (Group B). The third elective course may also come from Group A or Group B, or may be selected from other neuroscience related courses upon approval of the advisory committee. Topics in Neuroscience (Neuroscience 401) is designed to provide an integrative culminating experience. Students take this course in the senior year.
The degree with honors in Neuroscience provides students with the opportunity to undertake an original research project under the supervision of one or more of the Neuroscience faculty. In addition to completing the requirements of the Neuroscience Program, candidates for an honors degree must enroll in Neuroscience 493-W31-494 and write a thesis based on an original research project. Presentation of a thesis, however, should not be interpreted as a guarantee of a degree with honors. Students interested in pursuing a degree with honors should contact the Neuroscience Advisory Committee in the spring of their junior year.
Biology 101 The Cell
Psychology 101 Introductory Psychology
(Both of these courses should be completed by the end of the sophomore year.)
Neuroscience 201 Neuroscience
Neuroscience 401 Topics in Neuroscience
Three elective courses are required. At least one elective must be from Group A and at least one elective must be from Group B. The third elective may come from either Group A or Group B or the student may wish to petition the advisory committee to substitute a related course.

1 Light Table Lamp from the Walt Disney Signature - Kingswell Collection
1 Light Table Lamp from the Walt Disney Signature - Storyline Collection
1 Light Table Lamp from the Walt Disney Signature - Neverland Collection
Imagine, introducing a new lighting fixture to a room without having to put a call in to the electrician. Lamps are one of the easiest fixtures or decor pieces to introduce - lamps literally go anywhere. These stylish fixtures are at home everywhere - on your desk, bedside table, living room end tables, floors, behind the couch or even stuck in the corner. They come in an assortment of styles from traditional and elegant tiffany style lamps to the ultra modern in all metallic or even completely glass designs.
Beautiful lamps can become the focal point as a stand out piece or an idea that the entire room design is based on. Often an overlooked element of the overall design of the room; unfortunately lamps are used more for function than for design. Tall floor lamps or swing arm lamps are a great addition behind a couch or chair, they help extend the room up and visually connect lower furniture to higher features such as wall art and ceiling moldings. Swing arm lamps are a great option for smaller areas as most models take up very little or even no floor or table space and swing out when you need them and away when you don't. Table lamps help illuminate the living room, bedroom, or study for quiet conversations, reading and crafts all well brilliantly tying the room together. A torchiere floor lamp is a fun addition to any room, by lighting up rather than down, it gives a different perspective and beautiful indirect light. Adjustable desk lamps are a wonderful addition to the study or desk for making studying, reading, bill paying and other tasks a little easier.
Because there are so many unique finishes offered by the manufacturers we carry, we have grouped them into common tones to more easily allow you to find the finish you're looking for.
Determines the type of bulb used with this lamp. Incandescent bulbs are the most common but the most inefficient. Fluorescent and LED bulbs are most efficient while halogen and xenon provide the best color rendering.

hi all,
why is it, that i have like 50% better average gaming perfomance in windows 7 compared to lubuntu, for example, no matter, what i do? and why is it, that you always get errors, warnings and crashes everytime you install or run something on linux? i believe it is at the time, that developers make linux a gaming plattform, that is better than windows. every year i try linux again and it makes me sick that its still trash in gaming.
this is one video, that shows, what i tried to "explain" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh-cnaJoGCw
LOL try yourself
Linux isn't suitable for games, mate. I've been running a Linux installation since... forever. About 17 years. It has always sucked for games. The only fun I have with games on Linux is MAME and SNES9x; pretty much the only things that won't result in idiotic glitches. The majority of games always fuck up at something. Probably due to X11 and the various desktop environments having absolutely no standards regarding games. And zero interest in introducing any. From the perspective of X11 and the DEs, games do not exist. They simply don't care about them. So developers have to hack together kludges in order to produce something that kind of works. Microsoft on the other hand always made games a first-class citizen on their operating systems. It's not about drivers, by the way. It's about the very core of the graphical stack not even remotely considering games.
So seriously, what did you expect? You might just as well try to play DVDs on your toaster.
n00bs! - boom! HEADSHOT!
wicked sick isn't it?
Mega Kill!!
"Simple DirectMedia Layer is a cross-platform multimedia library designed to provide low level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL"
cross platform? X or which ever compositing desktop you choose isn't relevant - it works on windows, mac or even your toaster ... not only does it work - it works well as my n00b munching record will testify
Sorry man, but you have no clue what you're talking about and what the issues are. Of course SDL is a cross platform library. And it has to use X11 and run inside a DE. The problem isn't with SDL itself, it's with X11 and the DE.
Good luck running SDL games without running X11 and a DE. You're left with 2D framebuffer graphics.

i want that book.
Looks like a perfect book for you zilladouche; lots and lots of big shiny pictures of your man crush for you to drool over. I bet it'll look great in your Nolan/Snyder shrine.
I preordered the book before the film came out on amazon. It was like twenty bucks and it was well worth it. If you're a fan and not an internet troll you will likely enjoy it.
Well I have to go out and get as well, since I not only think it will be good but because I believe the movie to be the best summer movie so far...
The visuals were awesome as of the Army suits Zod an His group wore an what Krypton looked like was a lot better than the Reeves Krypton's icy clear whatever it was . Zack Snyder's movies use the "green screen " a lot and the production is excellent .
Yeah , The book looks good . I'll flip though it at Bar**es an N***Es before I buy it .

Those are your experiences, they're called anecdotal evidence. Same with my experiences.
My Phenom 2 Gigabyte ran linux for years without issue. My i5 2400 mini-itx gigabyte linux media server has been perfect with amazing uptimes while running all sorts of services. My current i7 3820 gigabyte was only $265, supports 4-way SLI and runs my chip at 4.5GHz at stock voltage with Ubuntu 12.04.
I'm sorry you have had issues. Remember though, not everyone has the same experiences. My smile won't fade because I made sure my Gigabyte motherboards worked for my needs before I purchased them.

Manchester United players pose with Special Olympics athletes from Seattle during a soccer clinic (courtesy: Manchester United Foundation/Aon Corp)
Washington, D.C. – Special Olympics has partnered with Manchester United for a series of skill-building clinics led by club coaches and star players as the team takes a five-city tour of the United States this summer.
The clinics are part of a growing relationship between Special Olympics and Manchester United, which supports unity through sport amongst all athletes, encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities and promoting acceptance for all. The event is on the heels of Special Olympics Team USA soccer gold-medal victory at the Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens, Greece earlier in July.
Players and coaches from the Manchester United Football Club and the Manchester United Soccer School will host "Skills and Drills" soccer clinics for Special Olympics athletes in each city of the club's five-city U.S. tour. John Shiels, Chief Executive of Manchester United Foundation along with Manchester United players and their soccer school coaches will lead Special Olympics athletes in a series of drills and skill-building exercises that help to improve technique and show the transformative and unifying power of sport.
The clinics began on July 12th in Boston at Harvard University, and will progress through four additional markets, each clinic happening locally at 5:30 pm with the exception of DC, including Seattle, which took place yesterday at Seattle University, Chicago (July 22nd) at the University of Chicago, New Jersey (July 26th) at Montclair University and concluding in Washington, DC (at 5:00 pm, July 29th) at the American University. In some cities, the clinics will be preceded by "Unity Matches" (where Special Olympics athletes, regional players and members of Manchester United will join in friendly competition), with both activities leading into Manchester United's official games, including a highly anticipated match-up with the Major League Soccer All-Star team on July 27th at Red Bull Stadium in New Jersey.
"Special Olympics is proud to be associated with the Manchester United Foundation on its 2011 United States tour. We know that Manchester United represents the best in soccer on a global basis and this partnership will inspire our athletes to achieve their maximum potential. Likewise we know our Special Olympics athletes will inspire their new friends from Manchester United how soccer can help unite the world for people of all backgrounds and abilities," said Bob Gobrecht, President and Managing Director of Special Olympics North America.
Soccer is the world's biggest game and is the fastest growing sport in Special Olympics with more than 435,000 soccer-playing athletes globally, participating in 206 accredited programs with 65,000 of those athletes from Special Olympics' North America region in 46 states. Special Olympics hopes to grow to have more than 1 million soccer athletes by 2015.
Special Olympics Team USA Soccer players recently returned from the Special Olympics World Summer Games 2011 in Athens, Greece as gold medalists in a sport where the United States is often overlooked. The team, hailing from Maryland, will be celebrated at Manchester United's match against FC Barcelona on July 30th in Washington D.C .
"We saw these clinics as a great opportunity to create an event but also leave a legacy," said John Shiels, Chief Executive of the Manchester United Foundation.All of the clinics are sponsored by Aon Corporation (NYSE:AON), the principal partner and shirt sponsor of Manchester United, and the Manchester United Foundation.

Keepin' It Weird
I just don't know where the week went. I came back from Austin, I did some work for the little book, and I got ready for my first-ever trip to The National Needle Arts Association's summer trade show. That's a mouthful, so most folks just call it TNNA. The semi-annual TNNA shows are where needlework retailers go to meet vendors large and small, see what's new and place their orders. Chances are, if it's on a shelf at your local yarn store, the owner first saw it at TNNA.
Before I get to that, though, I gotta tell you about the 1,000 Knitters shoot at The Knitting Nest in Austin.
The Knitting Nest is a new shop. The owner, Stacy, hasn't been open for long but I think she's going to be around for a while. You know how some shop owners create a good, solid shop with good service, and then others do that and also build what amounts to a haven for the yarnishly inclined? Stacy's of the latter variety.
Our little trio got an extremely warm welcome at the airport from the Knitting Nest's own trio: Staci (the Nest's beloved teacher), Steph (who isn't strictly on the payroll, but acts as a combination porter, ambassadress, cheerleader and photographer), and David (Stacy's husband, known for good reason on her blog as Mr Wonderful).
"Welcome to Austin, Ms Van Hoofen," said David, extending a hand to Dolores.
"Don't be so formal," said Dolores. "Call me Dolly and gimme a hug, you big longhorn."
David hesitated, fingering his wedding band.
"Give her one," I said. "Or she'll just take it anyway."
A few minutes later the hug was over and we were off to the hotel. Harry had been chatting with Steph and was clearly enamored of her KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD t-shirt. He'd been extremely excited at the prospect of going to a town that holds great store by its weirdos and was eagerly scanning the sidewalks for his first sighting.
"Can I meet some weirdos? I think weirdos are cool. I think I want a KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD ball band. Is that a weirdo over there? How about her, is she a weirdo? She looks like she might be a weirdo."
"You know," said Steph, "I'm pretty weird."
Whereupon Harry was struck speechless for the rest of the drive.
The day of the shoot dawned bright and hot. I opened the curtains to find this splendid view waiting. Nothing gets my blood pumping like a cool new skyline first thing in the morning.
I listened to the weather report for the sheer pleasure of hearing the weather lady say "The hot, dry and sunny trend will continue through the week." You don't hear that in Chicago unless it's followed by the words "April" and "fool."
I asked Dolores and Harry if they wanted to come along to meet the knitters, but they declined. Dolores was set on visiting the museum and libraries at the University of Texas campus. Harry, with map, camera and binoculars at the ready, was going weirdo watching.
By the time David and I got to the shop–an hour early–there were already folks waiting outside. Inside, there was a buzz of cheerful preparatory activity as Stacy and her crew put the registration table and everything else into apple pie order.
Then the doors opened and all cheerful hell broke loose. We had 57 knitters roll through and it was a group I'll never forget.
Guess what? We passed the 800 mark with Sherilyn, Knitter 0800.
And Ana, Knitter 0772, knit one of her hand-made Lone Star stitch markers into the scarf as a souvenir of Texas. I was touched.
One of the things I'm discovering is that the cliché "everybody has a story" is actually true–and the stories are fascinating. So far in these little reports you're getting mostly the images; but the final project will be just as much about the stoies. Here are two stories I have to share, in brief, from Austin.
Meet Rachel, Knitter 0794.
Rachel used to be a Texas Rollergirl under the nom de skate Kitty Kitty Bang Bang. She has since retired, and now goes by Knitty Knitty Bang Bang. I am fairly certain she is the first roller derby queen in our line-up.
Meet Sam, Knitter 0809.
So far as I know, Sam is the only person in the series who learned to knit in order to pass long, tedious hours sitting in a tank in Iraq. Thank you for serving, Sam.
And before any of you write to ask, Sam is married to the adorable Amy, Knitter 0808–fourth row below, on the left. So fuggedaboudit.
The last of the two sitter's was Amanda, Knitter 0813. Amanda's just finishing up her college degree in Photojournalism and was kind enough to show me her portfolio. The kid has it, in spades. Somebody at Spin or Rolling Stone needs to take notice. I hope some day one of the things they'll say about me is that I shot Amanda Klaus before she got all famous and uppity.
And we capped it off with the Lady Herself, Stacy, the mastermind behind all of it. Stacy, what can I say? You are a perfect example of why Texas hospitality deserves its legendary status.
When the day was done Stacy asked me to decorate the blank wall of the sit-and-knit area, which we'd used as a backdrop, with a portrait of the candidate whom she, a loyal Fibertarian, will be supporting come November. Dolores breezed in just before dinner (naturally) so she, Harry and Stacy's adorable Westie, Hank, struck a pose.
If you're curious as to how the drawing emerged, the awesome Steven has a sort of time-lapse series on his blog. (Love the title, by the way.) How anybody will be able to sit and knit with this staring down at them I don't know, but it ain't my shop.
And then they fed me barbecue. Real barbecue from The Salt Lick. We all ate around the big table in the shop like the Waltons, although I don't recall that the Waltons ever talked about yarn over dinner. (More fools they.)
Knitting Nesters, you won my heart. I hated to leave and I can't wait to come back. Thanks for everything. Miss you, miss Texas, miss the brisket. Especially you. And the brisket.

kitty kitty bang bang! I wish I was a rollergirl.
That just plain rocks! - 2:12 PM

You were every bit as wonderful as we all expected. Thanks for a wonderful weekend. Tell Dolores she'd better keep her hands to herself next time or I'll get Hank after her.
- Steph said...
We love you, Franklin! You stole our hearts, and we can't wait to have you back. :)
- Mel said...
Yeah, well, I'm getting married very soon myself, but Sam's still pretty easy on the eyes.
I'm just waiting to hear about what you and Steph and Sean got up to at TNNA. - 2:22 PM
- Steven said...
It was a marvelous day. So glad you (and Dolores and Harry!) enjoyed yourselves. Come back and eat some more barbecue any time!

I am just gonna hafta find this new oasis next winter when visit Austin for a long weekend!

I just want to know what is written on Harry's ball band in the drawing! Sounds like a great weekend. Aren't knitters the best?

Aw, so glad you had such a great time at my favorite yarn store. Life sized Dolores is a sight to behold.
And by the way Staci is TKN's knitting teacher extraordinaire. - 3:12 PM
- CraftyCanadian said...
MMMMmmm brisket! I'm so jealous. Too bad you didn't get a chance to actually go to The Salt Lick it's well worth the trip to Dripping Springs. I got married AT the Salt Lick (well at the Pavillion just across Onion creek) three years ago... we still dream about our wedding dinner :D
- Donna said...
Is the scarf getting wider? I was knitter 042 (or somewhere around there) and I don't recall there being that many stitches on it?
- Alwen said...
"Hot dry and sunny" . . . well, yesterday was hot. One out of three weather: must be the Midwest.
- knititch said...
yoour blog is the first i remember coming around and i love how things have moved in the right direction for you lately. i just hope that mr. fry will be knitter number 1000 and i wonder if i can speed things up since it would be such a finale.
- =Tamar said...
Ditto, Melissa - I also want to know what Harry's ballband says. It doesn't look like "Keep Austin Weird" which was my first thought.
- VA said...
Oh Franklin! Your poor knees!
Really hasn't anyone considered knitting kneepads.
(I hopped over to KN&SS blog.) - 5:21 PM
- Wen said...
Considering what happened at the Governors Mansion over the weekend I am curious to know if Delores was accounted for the entire time that you were there...
- Anonymous said...
Salt Lick will ship you a nice brisket for about $80. With a jar of sauce. I haven't found comparable brisket in Chicago, but I keep looking.
- christina said...
We miss you too!!!
Maybe next time you get down this way we'll have out own brisket smoking perfected (so close!!) and we'll send you back with a whole one. - 7:23 PM
- Kristen said...
Wow, those are some serious sticks Sam's wielding there! Thanks for that eye candy! Mmm, mmm, mmm. Yeah, he's married, but I can still enjoy the beauty. I am an art historian after all, that's what we do. ;)
- Tsarina of Tsocks said...
The Salt Lick! Now you're really killin' me.
As if I wasn't already hating myself for not being able to get to Austin for that event.
Salt Lick. Damn. I bet you didn't even bring any back for me. - 7:31 PM
- knitnzu said...
I just put in a travel request to go to Austin! End of July (eek for a mainah!). Almost no out of state travel these days, but I gave it a good plug, so maybe I'll be able to go. I'll try to add to the weird pool.
- nosenabook said...
Loved the post. How long will it take The Knitting Nest to become a destination for pilgrims?
I got my Dolores 2008 bag last week and began carrying my knitting in it today. No comments so far. - 10:59 PM
- nosenabook said...
Oh, almost forgot! Really enjoyed the episode with Sticks & Strings, too.
- dale-harriet said...
1. Thanks, Sam! (Those needles must be some kind of Army issue - you'd have to be big and strong to manage such as those!) 2. Harry, we gots real weirdos in Madison, WI too, maybe you can come with Dolores when she {a-HEM} comes here to give a campaign speech. 3. Franklin, you are just WAAAAY too much fun! Just sayin', is all.
- Stephanie said...
Hey Franklin! Fantastic meeting you this weekend at TNNA :) Hope you had a safe trip home!
- Linda said...
The next best thing to being there is hearing about it.
- Lynn said...
Eight hundred and something already? Damn, I just know I'll never get photographed by you. How about you finish up this first 1000 Knitters, then come to WEBS on your book tour, and we'll get you the next 1000 in one day. Maybe two. Bring Dolores!
- TO in SP said...
Either Sam is really really small or those needles are unusually big.
There's a Westie in that pic. Those must be good people, indeed.
Bailey sends doggy kisses. - 8:26 AM
- Zelda said...
*falls off chair*
Oh, poor Hank! I recognize that expression he's wearing in Dolores's arms; it translates roughly as, "I'm not going to be able to get out of this, am I?" - 10:56 AM

Franklin! Remember you and I have a barbecue date next time you're in Austin! I'm so going to kidnap you and drive you to Lockhart! Love ya! ;)
- MonicaPDX said...
Absolutely wonderful, Franklin! (I'm catching up, here. Rav certainly cuts down on blog commenting time.) What a great bunch of knitters. Of course we know they're all great, but the way you capture them, you can see they're great. And thanks much, Sam.
Wowsa, by the time you add in the Toronto event, yep; you've nearly done did it. Hurray! Now, how can we bribe you to keep on going, as everyone not-so-subtly demands? [g] Dolores should take bribes... ::steals off to ponder:: - 5:55 AM
- Evelyn said...
The National Needle Arts Association's summer trade show. That's a mouthful, so most folks just call it TNNA.
Yeah, except that TNNA doesn't really make sense. Shouldn't it be the NNAA? Why capitalize the T and then leave off the A for Association?? It's like calling the CIA "TCI." Weird. - 12:34 PM

Have to say Sam totally rocks and thank you for helping to keep our freedom alive.

From Stefan, one of the Wine/CodeWeaver guys using PTS:
None that I am aware of, but I don't have an ipv6 configuration here. I experiemtned with ipv6 a while ago to figure out how it works, but stopped the experiment since my ISP doesn't offer ipv6 yet. But it is possible that ipv6 in Wine is broken, I don't think it has been a big priority yet. A few things to check: *) Test it on windows. maybe the initial download is broken in pts, and I didn't notice it because I have a fully setup up .phoronix-test-suite directory already *) Check the content of C:\users\<username>\.phoronix-test-suite *) Try native msvcrt. I use builtin, but the user has some msvcrt warnings I am not aware of

Not quite wide enough Written By Skip, Florida on Monday, March 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased this Hoya hood for the Nikkor 16-35 zoom but as soon as I put it on the camera I could see that it is too long for the wide angle lens. The edge of the hood shows up in the frame. Cons: Do not use with wide angle 16mm
