Id like to say I couldnt stop living the trip, but thats only an explanation of my actions, not the root of the cause. Certainty, predictability and familiarity were almost intolerable. So much so that I never established a permanent residence and even absconded to hotels when I needed to escape, write, focus, defocus or just Room 19 it. The trip continued on by momentum even though I should have been at rest. Then of course there was a trip to CotA for the 1199R launch, a fellow inmate invited me to meet up in NY (insane time!), overnight trips to at Buttonwillow, Sonoma Raceway and Thunderhill for track days. I bugged out in Death Valley (twice), drove back and forth between SF and LA more times than I can recall. In any given week my head might see 5 different pillows. And when that wasnt enough restlessness, Id wander at night (sometimes with a camera)
Perhaps darkness, rain, fog, were my ways of experiencing the familiar in an unfamiliar way?
You can only imagine how the state of mind I'm in contributes to the development of positive, healthy relationships. There seems to be only one constant: that I disappear, and emerge somewhere else, as if my life had folded into two and under the connected planes of the present, moments looped underneath. Moments that only I knew were there.
Traveling is a contradictory, temporary defense against the inevitability of my next trip; an insatiable need that intensifies the more I feed it. Im still trying to discover just what makes me get up in the middle of the night and leave, whats making it impossible for me to grow roots (or even want to). Ive looked at places to buy, places to rent, places to sublet, cities to reside in, but have found none.
So for now I have just one key in my pocket that fits just one motorcycle.

Principal among victims in Conn. shooting rampage
Friday - 12/14/2012, 10:25pm EST
NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) - The principal at the Connecticut elementary school where a gunman opened fire in a rampage Friday, killing 26 people including 20 children and then himself, was identified as one of the victims.
A well-liked and experienced administrator, Dawn Hochsprung was among those gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary where she had been principal since 2010, said Gerald Stomski, the first selectman of nearby Woodbury. He said police told him of her death.
Hochsprung was a principal in Woodbury schools before taking the job in Newtown, Stomski said. He said people throughout town were mourning her death.
"She had an extremely likable style about her," Stomski said. "She was an extremely charismatic principal while she was here."
She frequently tweeted photos from her job and wrote upbeat tweets about what was going on at the school. Four days before she died, she posted a photo of two kindergarten girls paying for groceries over a toy cash register in a classroom. She called them "kinders" and saw them as "74 new opportunities to inspire lifelong learning!"
More hauntingly, she wrote a letter before the school year outlining new safety measures including locked doors during school hours, several publications reported, and tweeted a photo of students who'd been evacuated from the building during a safety drill earlier in the school year.
"I don't think you could find a more positive place to bring students to every day," she told The Newtown Bee newspaper in 2010 in a story about the hiring of new administrators in the district. She had worked for 12 years as an administrator before coming to Sandy Hook, including six years in nearby Danbury, the newspaper reported.

This Floridian Life: Ira Glass On Our Weird Stories
There's been an ongoing debate among the staff in our newsroom about whether Florida really is weirder than the other states. In December, we set out to produce a feature -- one segment -- about the weirdest stories of the year. Those stories spilled into three separate segments, and we could have easily kept going. But still, maybe it just seems like we're weirder because this is where we are, this is what we know. Isn't New Orleans weird? Isn't Chicago? (Well sure, but those are cities, not entire states.)
Now the verdict's in. Ira Glass, arbiter of American storytelling, says, "It'd be hard to name a single state that's more interesting."
Interesting. For better and worse.
"I mean Florida is just one of the most F'd-up places in the country. There's just no other way to say it," says the host of "This American Life," who's coming to Davie Saturday night (March 15) for a talk at Bailey Hall on the Broward College campus. "It's such a weird mix of things." He rattles off a list including the mortgage crisis, immigration detention, our aging population, spring break, Disney World and Bush versus Gore.
That, of course, is the stuff great stories are made of, which is why so many of the show's stories have happened here.
A kid falls head over heels for this girl at his Palm Beach County high school, only to discover the hard way that she's definitely not who she says she is. (This story's about to become a musical -- a musical -- at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York.)
Hitler's yacht is discovered in Jacksonville. "It had to end up somewhere after the war, says Glass. "Where did it end up? Florida."
Remember the colony of sex offenders living under the Julia Tuttle Causeway between Miami and Miami Beach? This American Life dives into how that whole thing happened.
A Fort Lauderdale mailman intervenes when he sees a stabbing in a parking lot, after a bunch of other people look on without doing anything.
Through some impressive detective work, an unhappy kid from North Carolina figures out where in rural Florida his favorite sci-fi writer lives and makes his way there.
The show devotes an entire hour to big questions surrounding the killing of a man with ties to the Boston Marathon bomber by the FBI in Orlando.

Adventures on Taboo Island
Chapter 17: The Shopping Trip
Mother was still covered in the perspiration of brisk love-making, even as she called for her younger male offspring to return to the master bedroom of their St. Barth's island villa.
'Mother, not again,' smirked her son as he saw that knowing smile on his mom's face.
'Don't worry, I need a break too… a shopping break,' blurted out a smiling Mother as she rose from the bed, forgetting altogether that she had nary a stitch of clothing on.
Her randy son's eyes darted back and forth across his mother's more than ample bare bosom. For her part, Mother realized from the look in the teen's eyes that shopping would have to wait.

Family tradition: Dad always grilled the chicken (the good old days).
Tangy and pungent describes this chicken, and all the ingredients can come from pantry staples. The longer the chicken marinates, the more intense the flavor. Mom used dried herbs, but I like fresh (oregano, parsley and basil) from my garden. Bone-in chicken breasts, legs and thighs are the best – they just taste better (it's the bones) and are hands and finger friendly.
Today I ventured out of my comfort zone with boneless chicken breasts. My husband prefers white meat, but I could not find practical grilling size, bone-in breasts – they were ginormous! All is well though, these were fine, although more suitable for fork and knife desiree's. I still recommend bone-in pieces, hands down.
This is a kid-friendly bbq for dinner, picnics, parties and pot lucks. Traditional accompaniment is my mom's creamy-chunky Potato Salad; just the right balance and texture – or her Garlic Cheese Toast (crunchy garlic bread). Fridge foragers…this chicken is delicious leftover, cold!
Grilled Marinated Chicken
Serves 8
2 cups red wine vinegar
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup Worcestershire Sauce
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons A.1. Steak Sauce
20 drops Tobasco
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup minced onion
2 garlic cloves, mashed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano, or 1 tablespoon dried
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 teaspoons chopped fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried
5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (legs, thighs, or bone-in breasts)
Place all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl, and whisk until blended. Immerse the chicken parts in the mixture and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 4 to 8 hours, stirring once or twice.
Preheat the grill. Cook the chicken over a medium to medium-high setting (about 3 to 6 minutes per side) depending on size. Remove and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Discard the marinade.

Installs icons on your home screen to push advertising at you. I haven't even checked functionality. Used Lookout Ad Network Detector to identify all of the apps on my phone that use adverts in app, and it spotted this one installing icons on home screen.

It adds to the home screen some advert links. Just annoying.

Ads are way too obtrusive outside the use of the app (random notifications or installed shortcuts on homescreen). Definitely not worth it for the minimal features it provides.

5 People Who Hate Pandas AND Cupcakes
Seriously, what kind of person can hate a panda? Probably the kind of person that hates cupcakes.
1. Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber is hell bent on seeing the destruction of all pandas, he fears they divert the attention of teenage girls away from him. In order for his career to succeed all the pandas must die. Cupcakes too, he can't stand them and refers to them as "shit cups".
2. George W. Bush
It is a well known fact that George bush hates cupcakes, and prefers the taste of fresh baked muffins. His love of muffins even earned him the nick name "Muffin Man", a name his closest friends have called him since his days at Yale. George W does love pandas though… well he loves to eat them.
3. Lindsay Lohan
Rumour has it she tried to date a panda once and he shot her down. That was the beginning of her downward spiral. The reason for her hatred of cupcakes is unknown.
4. The Situation
The Situation once punched a cupcake in the mouth after it was trash talking his mother. He had a similar run in with a panda but that fight nearly cost him his life. He was hospitalized with third degree burns from the Panda's laser vision.
5. Kate Gosselin
This shouldn't be a big surprise. Kate was once attacked by an army of cupcakes. Also she hates everything.

30 year old man | Boston, MA, USA | Seeking women 22-31 within 30 miles
I love life, and am looking for someone to enjoy it with!
I truly believe that a life not enjoyed is not worth living, so while I'm ambitious in my career goals, I work hard to play hard. Over the next two years I will be the best man in four weddings, but until now I haven't made my own dating life a priority. I spent the past couple of years studying hard in grad school, and since recently returning to Boston have been busy settling into my new job in the city. But I'm really ready now! I'm ready to find a real relationship and am excited to meet someone! I'm into all kinds of things. I'm a huge foodie, so I eat out a lot (probably more than I should) and have been trying to improve my cooking skills over the past two years. Travel is a huge passion of mine too - I've been to 48 states now, and will often travel out to visit friends for the weekend when I have time. I'm a huge New England sports fan - I love going to sporting events, especially Pats games. More than anything, I love to smile and laugh. I have a serious job, so after work I love to be less serious - let my guard down, relax, maybe enjoy a drink or two, and enjoy some laughs and good times with friends. I know it's a bit clique, but I really do love volunteer work. I volunteer a lot of my time organizing community service projects (usually at soup kitchens and homeless shelters) for and with high school students. I also spend a couple hours on Fridays working with inner-city students as a career coach and finance tutor. Volunteering is really rewarding for me. So I'm looking for someone who shares my passion for life - who loves to laugh and have fun and keep things exciting. I'd like to find someone who has ambition and is serious about her career, but not so much so that she lives to work. A Christian faith is important to me, as is a willingness to try new things (especially food and wines!). A sense of humor is a must too!
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Volunteering
Baseball, Basketball, Dancing, Football, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I have Dogs
I have a three year old Norfolk Terrier named Buddy. He's awesome!
San Francisco, South Beach and Nashville are places I like to visit often. I love Spain, and would love to revisit China or Israel - both were really interesting places.
Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
Travel, music of all types, road trips, food and cooking, sports. I love my family, my friends, and the beach!
Exploring Boston, Pats and Celtics games, playing sports. Simply put, I love meeting and being around interesting people who love a good time!
Does Men's Health count? After work I'm more likely to go out on the town than read, so I don't read much for pleasure.

Fred Durst Net Worth: Fred Durst is an American musician and director who has a net worth of $20 million dollars. Fred Durst was born William Frederick Durst in 1970 in Gastonia, North Carolina. While growing up, he started breakdancing, rapping, and DJ'ing. He did not successfully complete boot camp with the U.S. Navy, so he started taking odd jobs to pay the bills and worked with a few different bands. In 1994, he and a few others formed the band Limp Bizkit, and they were eventually invited to tour with Korn. The band's debut album, "Three Dollar Bill", released in 1997, with Durst as the group's vocalist. Two years later, the band released "Significant Other" and later "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water", both of which were commercially successful. Since then, he has released six studio albums with Limp Bizkit. The band attracted negative publicity when violent riots and sexual assaults broke out following their performance at Woodstock '99. Two years later, a teenager died when the band's fans rushed the stage, and though Durst testified that he warned concert organizers about a lack of security, the coroner found Durst was irresponsible when he took the stage. In 2006, Durst began a film career while the band was on a break. He co-starred in "Population 436″ and made his directorial debut with 2007's "The Education of Charlie Banks", before the band reunited in 2009.

-Re: Ruby gem fork - contribute back?
Personally, I'd rather see #2.
I think it's very hard to know what the current use of Ruby 1.8 is. Support
from the MRI community only ended ~1 year ago[1]. JRuby still supports
running in 1.8 mode. They'll be dropping it in their next major release,
but there isn't a schedule for that yet and they expect the current major
release line to continue for some time after that[2]. Additionally, Heroku
won't be ending support until the end of this month[3]. Even after that,
it's not clear to me that they won't allow users to keep using it.
As mentioned previously I'm a JRuby-in-1.9-mode user and I usually just
work with the Java libraries directly. So this won't directly impact me,
but I agree that it sucks when upgrades break things. So I don't feel like
#1 is an option.
We could also investigate maintaining a single gem that just had two
implementations with in it, with the active one determined by the Ruby

My Rating
My guide (Michael) and driver (Peter) were both professional and on time. The drive is roughly 3 hours (I left with the early 4 a.m. convoy). Michael spoke fluent English, and upon arrival at the site we walked to the front of the massive mountain monuments. Michael explained both momuments and their interiors (Guides are not permitted inside) for perhaps 20 minutes before giving me a full 2 hours and 15 minutes to explore by myself. This is an amazing place and a must see. Just make sure you grab a drink as soon as you step out of the car because after about 10 minutes alone I walked backed to the parking lot to buy a drink.

The ONGC has equity in the largest oil-field at Sakhalin in Russia
MANGALORE: The Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) Limited will bring in the first batch of crude cargo from Sakhalin in Russia to India, through Mangalore in the second week of this November for processing at Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited (MRPL), a subsidiary of ONGC, R.S. Sharma, chairman ONGC and MRPL, said here on Saturday.
Addressing presspersons after the 18th annual general body meeting of MRPL here, he said the crude cargo would be 90,000 tonne.
The cargo was likely to reach the New Mangalore Port either on the 14th or 15th of November, he said.
The ONGC holds equity in the largest oil-field at Sakhalin in Russia. It has invested $ 2.8 billion in this project. "The pilot production has begun at Sakhalin and commercial production will start soon," he said.
Mr. Sharma said he had urged the Union Petroleum Minister to request Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to be present at Mangalore to receive the first batch of cargo.
On this occasion, the foundation stone for the MRPL's aromatic complex that comes under Mangalore Special Economic Zone Project, will be formally laid here.
LNG terminal
Mr. Sharma said the ONGC was committed to setting up its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Mangalore. The ONGC had got licence from the Government to set up 500 outlets in the country. It was going slow on setting up retail outlets for the company's own reasons, the chairman said.

I don't see any superiority from the 60's crop.
And Darcis beat Nadal at Wimbledon at 29 etc...winning the odd match is all well and good. But unless he was winning tournaments against those guys it doesn't say much. Did he win those tournaments?
Yes...but this says nothing about their strength. The point is not that they were bad players. It's that they weren't better than Federer's second tier competition.
Which is essentially what I said.
I'm not going about how strong exactly Laver was, the fact is he was still improved as he was even in years like 1964 where he clearly dominated Rosewall.
You don't believe he had this problems or you don't believe he was hindered by them? You jump on anyone that questions Nadal's fitness yet deny Hoad was hampered by back problems?
I don't either of us (kiki and myself) are happy with that comparison
Improved a lot but had a long way to go still.
Near 30 year old Trabert and 40 years old Segura, Cooper who made just one semi at the French pro. Gonzales only played the French Pro a few times. Were there some other major clay tournaments which he proved his mettle on?
I'm enjoying you trying to pass off 40 year old players as excellent competition while belittling the likes of Agassi who was 6-5 years younger when he competed with Federer.
NatF, You are too nasty and aggressive to me. Reason is that you have a prejudice towards me, and , like abmk, you are fighting EVERY word I write to you. The last time for a good while I will answer you. Remember you were on my ignore list already earlier. pc1 would say:" it's not worth to answer" (you).
I hated that you use words like "rubbish" and "foolish" towards me.
I have not studied tennis (history) for more than 40 years to be treated as a schoolboy by a 23 years old and by other Federer fanatics!
It's significant you did not know Anderson's biggest achievement where he beat Sedgman, Rosewall and Segura in a row!
Anderson semi-retired after 1966, thus his "poor" record from 1967 to 1971.
Cooper won the European Grand Prix over Gimeno, Anderson and Segura. You had claimed Cooper did little.
Anderson, Cooper and Olmedo, while strong players , were just the second echelon at the pros. The first echelon were Gonzalez, Rosewall, Hoad, Trabert, Sedgman, Segura and Gimeno. Buchholz between them.
Mal Anderson did win the 1973 HSW Championships with wins against Newcombe and Rosewall. At 38...
You can't await that a 39 years old Anderson wins a tournament where peak Connors is involved.
"semi-retired" is not "virtually retired". Be correct!
You had "asked" me if Laver was in best form when he was crushed by Rosewall in the US Pro. Now you write you are not going about how strong Laver was...Stay logical and honest!!
In 1964 Laver did NOT clearly dominate Rosewall! Rosewall was the official No.1. Furthermore Laver won at Wembley in tough five sets when a few net-cords decided the match. At the US Pro Muscles was handicapped by a food-poisoning.
You try to misunderstand my words: I wrote that Hoad was always hampered by his back injury (already in his amateur years) and not even more in the early 1960s...
Trabert at 30/31 was still very tough on clay.
Segura won several strong claycourt tournaments when being 40/41.
Good-bye. Maybe see you again after you have learnt history...

Noah fined $50,000 by NBA for remark to fan
"Last month the NBA sent an important message about how such slurs fuel a climate of intolerance and are unacceptable," GLAAD President Jarrett Barrios said in a statement. "These anti-gay remarks, coming so soon after, demonstrate how much needs to be done."
GLAAD said it has started a partnership with Bryant and the Lakers following the April incident in Los Angeles. Also Monday, the Human Rights Campaign called Noah's use of the slur "just plain unacceptable."
"At a time when the NBA and a growing number of pro-athletes are publicly standing up for equality, it's too bad Mr. Noah worked against their efforts last night," HRC President Joe Solmonese said. "That said, we're pleased he quickly realized the error of his ways and apologized."
Some of Noah's teammates stood up for him Monday, saying that the fan went too far in whatever comments were directed toward the Bulls' bench. Taj Gibson said the man repeatedly directed verbal abuse toward the Bulls, and other players insisted that was true.
"It wasn't just one time or two times," said Bulls forward Luol Deng, who declined to say what comments the fan may have made. "He just kept going and it became really annoying. He just lost his temper."
Bulls forward Carlos Boozer said he was not aware of exactly what took place in the bench area, but noted it happens somewhat regularly.
"That's a part of the game," Boozer said. "Fans have the right to say what they want to say after they buy their tickets. Unfortunately sometimes, for us, we just have to sit there and take it. Unfortunately, that's part of sports."
Noah repeated often Monday that he was apologetic for the incident. He said he would "learn from my mistakes," and acknowledged that being frustrated over picking up his second foul did not excuse his words.
"I'll remember," Noah said. "I'll remember it for a long time."

Aston Villa No2 Peter Grant has told their English whizkid Gary Gardner his chance will come.
Grant believes Gardner, the younger brother of former Villa midfielder Craig, has a bright future at the club.
"We feel he'll have a big part to play for us soon, absolutely no doubt about that," said Grant.
"He's a talented boy. Going through this period in December and from Christmas onwards we feel he's got the talent to be part of things.
"We're concerned about the long-term. We don't just see it as a short-term thing with Gary, we're wanting to make sure he is right for the future.
"We've got to do it right for the boy. He maybe feels it's not right for him because he's anxious to make an impact for the first team.
"You can understand that to an extent, but he's got to be patient.
"His performances with the reserves have been excellent, he's a fantastic professional and he will get a chance because his talent will dictate that and we're all looking forward to working with him."

"Mines" cooler
So I've been looking through these forums daily since open beta, and despite the vast amount of helpful info one thing is always lacking. MINES
"Summary for those who don't like reading" -(Mines are a form of zone/path control, spam them in one place or in a line to make someone else either not go there or blow up. They are not as a good of a form of dps as torpedos, but on slower ships can be like the all facing turret and stop people from just flying circles around you so easily.)
No one wants to use them, few test them beyond the very basic cooldowns, and almost no one completly understands why cryptic even bothered to add them. Thusly I hope to help that problem.
1. Zone Control: This is the biggest use of mines in the game. To make someone else, not go where you are, or were. On the ground this use is apparent though short lived, as many just place their mines directly ON their oppoents. A valid strategy, but not their whole potential in my opinion. No, they are a form of strategy.
Whenever an oppoent steps on a mine two things happen. One boom (damage), they take a decent amount of damage. or BOOM(knockback). Therefor it's a form of path/crowd control more then dps. Something very useful when you don't want them running after your healer or that dps who needs to recharge their csheilds for a sec.
2. Secondary form of dps: In the case of torpedos vs mines, a torpedo is roughly worth 3 mines or so early game (might change later). So if you can land mines on your oppoent consitently they're actually better dps!
NOTE - you won't ever land as many mines as torpedos. I'm sorry, it's just not feasible. TO EVEN COME CLOSE you would have to be faster, more manevrable, and spam the button on a ship who couldn't shoot them all down, or counter them with mines/speed or w/e
That said, you can still hit with them quite often by either hugging your oppoents ship, or dragging them into a field of pre placed mines.
3. tips, tricks, and the meta game.
tip one, lay a field of a few sets of mines while firing phasers or disruptors. I chose disruptors for this task myself, as their hull dps is decent. Then merely move forward until you reach the edge of the mine field, then back up through it while maintaining your arcs on the enemy. This FORCES them to either come to you, or stay away.
Use emergency power to engines in combo with a field of mines. IT gives the ability new purpose. lay some mines, charge the enemy, THEN FULL REVERSE + power to engines for a quick tacitcal retreat into your field.
Lay mines constantly, never stop unless you want your sets to stay for a longer period in a designated spot. They go after ships, destroyable projectiles, take out fighters quite well, and even are useful for countering other mines.
-Final note, the Meta game of mining- I personally I like mines, but I do not believe they are the most powerful tool out there for dps. In fact it's quite alot of trouble, time, and skill to use them right. However I do believe they will eventually become the high level hard counter to some more prevalent builds and strategies. Let me run it down for you.
You pick mines, as a cruiser. It's a good choice because you can't always be facing the right way for torps. They pick a fast, nimble, ANNOYINGLY strong escort. Without mines, all they do, all day long is ride your ass right on you blowing away that one shield side with big ass cannons. Your dps is not as high, and without those multiple shields sidings your at a disadvantage. Then they use that big targetable plasma shot on you or boarding partys. You can't stop them in time because they are RIGHT ON YOU, all the time, FOREVER.
With mines though they have to make a choice. Either take it to the face, or avoid them as best they can. The mines do significant damage to non shielded enemies, and your shielding is better. Also they can't get quite as close all the time anymore. In addiditon those annoying targeting things you wanted to kill? Your mines automatically kill them for you. They go for nearest target after priming themselves for a second, so even if they do ride you, the mines might take care of those point blank plasma bolts with a bit of fancy flying.
Thats my thoughts on mines, hope they help people who didn't understand them before.

I would like to stress I've been trying to get that through to people since the mine bug got fixed in OB and they still won't listen.
When you add Dispersal Patterns on top of everything you said here, it gets pretty crazy.

While I'm sure in some circumstance it might help, like for fighters or plasma torps, or for when someone is chasing you.... but honestly when I see a mine field I don't even slow down. Most anyone's ship can take them all out before they're ever a threat. That's why people just run and drop them on on top of people.

The mines that are laid by PvE enemies are pitifully weak in comparison to the mines laid by a player. Something I'd like to stress from the OP. A single torpedo is equal in damage to 3 mines. You lay 5 at a time. That holds true for both shield damage and hull damage. Assuming you're laying mines as fast as you're firing torpedoes and all of you're mines hit then:
A few other notes for why mines are great.
-Plasma mines have a percentage chance to proc the plasma dot for each mine. Meaning plasma dot is 5x more likely.
-Mines are effectively 360 degree firing arc. They can be fired out the aft and hit a target in front of you.
-Mines deal more burst damage. Sure you're target may not get hit by you're first set or your second set. But watch what happens when they fly through 3 sets of mines all at once. Ask your self would you rather fire 1 torp every 8 seconds or 3 simultaneous torps every 24 seconds?
-Mines are less likely to over kill weak targets. If it only take 2 mines to blow up a fighter you're other three mines will still be available to target something else.
-Mines interfere with players ability to target in PvP
Some reasons why mines are less than great:
-Mines are short range no more than 3-5km
-Mines clusters can be destroyed by other mines, torp spreads and HYT plasma torps
-it's practically impossible to target a cluster of mines through a hole in someones shields
-It's likely that not every mine will find a target so some damage will be wasted
-mines have a longer refresh so even though their damage is greater their overall dps is lower.
having said all of that for science and cruiser I always run with one mine launcher and am thinking of trying out two of them.

Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
|Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO)
|Concert hall
|Jack Singer Concert Hall
|Principal conductor
|Roberto Minczuk
The Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra (CPO) is a Canadian orchestra, based in Calgary, Alberta. The orchestra gives the majority of its performances in the Jack Singer Concert Hall of the EPCOR Centre for the Performing Arts. It is also the resident orchestra for the Calgary Opera, Alberta Ballet Company, and the Honens International Piano Competition.
The Orchestra has a relatively short history, which began in 1910 with the founding of the First Calgary Symphony by violinist A.P. Howell. In 1947 the New Calgary Symphony was formed by Clayton Hare with members of the Mount Royal Orchestra and the previous Calgary Symphony.
In 1955, the Dutch conductor Henry Plukker created the Alberta Philharmonic, which in the same year merged with the Calgary Symphony. A new name, Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra was chosen. Prelude, the orchestra's program magazine, began publication in October 1975 and continues to be their official concert programme. The Orchestra often features the Calgary Philharmonic Chorus, a chorus of over 120 members. On average the CPO performs over 85 concerts per season to over 100,000 people in Calgary and surrounding area.
In 2001, management of the orchestra initiated a lockout and salaries of the players were cut by an average of 20 percent. In 2002, the orchestra had declared bankruptcy. In 2003, the orchestra came out of receivership, and Mike Bregazzi became their CEO and president. He retired from these posts in 2005.[1] Ann Lewis became the orchestra's next CEO.[2]
The current music director of the orchestra is Roberto Minczuk, who was named to the post in July 2005. His initial contract was for 3 years, starting with the 2006-2007 season.[3] Other members of the conducting staff are resident conductor Adam Johnson and chorus master Timothy Shantz. Ivars Taurins is the Bach@Knox Festival Conductor. Mario Bernardi is the orchestra's Conductor Laureate and Hans Graf is Music Director Laureate. Czech-born violinist Cenek J. Vrba was concertmaster until 2011 when he retired. The new concertmaster starting with the 2012/13 season is Diana Cohen.
In 2010, Donovan Seidle, the orchestra's assistant concertmaster, drew international attention when he served as the associate music director of the Vancouver Olympics, under Dave Pierce, the music director during the games and whom he had worked frequently for.[4] He wrote some of the instrumental music used during the opening ceremony, among them an arrangement of the Olympic Hymn, which was performed in English and French.[4]
Music directors[edit]
- Henry Plukker (1955–1962)
- Haymo Taeuber (1963–1968)
- José Iturbi (1968–1969)
- Maurice Handford (1970–1975)
- Arpad Joó (1977–1984)
- Mario Bernardi (1984–1992[5])
- Hans Graf (1995–2003)
- Roberto Minczuk (2006–present)
The orchestra has made over 10 recordings for CBC Records, including the following works:
- Franz Liszt Piano Concertos (Janina Fialkowska, Piano)
- Cello Concerti of Elgar & Saint-Saëns (Shauna Rolston, Cello)
- Mozart – 12 Overtures (Mario Bernardi, Conductor)
- Mendelssohn – Symphonies 1 & 5 (Mario Bernardi, Conductor)
- Schumann – Symphonies No. 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Mario Bernardi, Conductor)
- Mahler - Symphony No. 1 (Hans Graf, Music Director)

New iPod Nano Does Not Run iOS, Apple TV Does?
Posted September 2, 2010 at 1:03pm by here | 8340 views| Please help us and submit a translation by clicking
For those wondering, the new multi-touch iPod nano does not run iOS. This was confirmed to CultofMac backstage at yesterday's event by an Apple spokesperson.
So for those hoping to be able to jailbreak the device and install various widgets, this may not be possible.
Interestingly, it seems that the Apple TV is in fact running iOS; although this wasn't mentioned at all in the keynote.
According to Daring Fireball's John Gruber, "The device is running iOS, though, trust me. So its possible that some sort of SDK is coming in the future. But Im not going to hold my breath. Judging from the demo today, I think the fact that its running iOS under the hood is just an implementation detail."

Hello? Great news for the jailbreak/hack community. iOS4 duh! And the clever little mini-usb \'service\' port (memory anyone). Shades (exact) of the old AppleTV PLUS the iPod/iPhone crowd. Oh, and how about a trackpad for touch control.
Me - September 2, 2010 at 3:30pm
So without some sort of storage medium, how will we be able to play games on it?
David - September 2, 2010 at 2:28pm
Game Center is next for AppleTV. Apple just needs to reinvent the joystick like they have the mouse and trackpad. XBox, Playstation, and Wii are in their crosshairs. With a $99 price point, a new focus on gaming, and hundreds of existing games it\'s only a matter of time.
Kevin Edwards - September 2, 2010 at 2:01pm
This makes sense. Apple doesn\'t plan on having apps for the nano, thus it\'s in their interest to close it off to the jailbreaking community. Apple does plan on having Apple TV apps (although not in store for this version), so they\'ve got the platform ready to go when they turn this on (for future models)

I love playing little pranks on my dad. My favorite thing to do as a kid is to sneakily re-close a peanut shell while he's snacking, only to have him pick up and open an empty one and then watch his reaction. Teeeeheeeeheeee!
When I was asked to trick my family with TCBY Frozen Yogurt on April Fool's Day, I didn't know what to do at first. But then I realized my dad would be visiting on April Fool's weekend. And I knew just what to do. You see, he does not.like.cheese. Not a bit. Eeeexcellent. And, I also wanted to see if my family could tell if they were eating ice cream, or frozen yogurt.
TCBY Frozen Yogurt is a relatively new product. It is not yet available at any of the Walmart stores close to me in San Francisco Bay Area. After calling many, many stores (everyone I spoke to was super nice, by the way), I learned it was just arriving at Fairfield, American Canyon and Napa Walmarts, in the northernmost (and a little bit east) of the Bay Area. We headed to Fairfield which was 40 minutes away. But the girls were excited to go somewhere new, and we were going for something yummy so that helped!
I was so happy to see the TCBY Frozen Yogurt quarts and pints in the freezer at Walmart. I remembered the associate I spoke to on the phone said the product was so new that there weren't even correct price tags on the shelves yet, and she was right!
We picked Classic Vanilla Bean, Mint Chocolate Chunk, and Chocolate Chocolate.
I also picked up these Nilla Wafers because they look the most like crackers. And giggled to myself a little more.
When we got home, I stowed away our TCBY Frozen Yogurts in our extra freezer in the garage, so my family wouldn't see them. Check out more pics of our TCBY Shopping Story at Walmart on my Google+ page.
Before dinner, I started working on my not-bleu-cheese. First I lined a ramekin with plastic wrap.
Then I used a spoon to scoop out small pieces of the Mint Chocolate Chunk. I wanted the green and the chocolate chunks to look like splotches within the Vanilla, to mimic the bleu of the bleu cheese.
Then I spooned some Classic Vanilla Bean on top and pressed it down, and repeated the process until the ramekin was full.
I smoothed the top (which would become the bottom) with a spoon.
Next I wrapped the plastic around the top of the frozen yogurt.
And stowed it in the freezer to harden back up. And I crossed my fingers…at this point, I wasn't sure if it would even work! So I made some extras.
After dinner, I snuck to the kitchen to plate my not-bleu-cheese. First I dipped the ramekin into a bowl of warm water to loosen it from the sides.
Then I ran a knife around the sides to further loosen it, and flip it over onto a plate.
My mom (who had caught me in the act and quickly became my partner-in-crime), had her own ideas. She's the one who came up with making it really look like a cheese plate, with a fanned out apple (too bad I didn't have grapes!) and placing a baguette in the final picture. She also had told me to use a cheese board and a bottle of wine but I totally forgot (and the not-bleu-cheese was melting so it was getting too late to make any changes).
Then she insisted that I add some regular crackers along with the Nilla Wafers to further disguise the dessert-ness.
So we had my dad sit down and he skeptically peered at the "cheese plate", and spread some onto a Nilla wafer…
…for my mom to try first, while he gawked! (If anyone reading this knows me in real life, you now know where my funny facial expressions come from.)
Okay okay, by this time, he knows it's not bleu cheese because the frozen yogurt is melting, but he played along anyways.
Taking a bite…
…and behold his acting skills. "WHAAAA? I can't believe it's not bleu cheese!" But he truly WAS surprised that it wasn't ice cream. Both my parents said they tasted no difference. They said it was smooth and not chalky, which is why they had previously steered clear of in-store frozen yogurt in the past. My mom said she hoped there was some TCBY Frozen Yogurt available at the Walmart near her house in the Sacramento area.
Ah, I wish I had also grabbed the Mango TCBY Frozen Yogurt. I could have made that into "cheddar", with chopped nuts sprinkled on top to make it look like a cheese log! Oh well…next April Fools!
I do hope that TCBY Frozen Yogurts will be more widely available soon, but it was very well worth the trip to try it out. Thanks Dad for being a good sport, and thanks Mom for the great ideas!
Keep up with TCBY Frozen Yogurt happenings on their Facebook and Twitter pages.

Ogilvy, Fowler, Rose share lead at Memorial
First came Fowler and a blazing stretch of holes on the front nine. After a bogey on the third, Fowler ran off three straight birdies, then holed a wedge for eagle on the par-5 seventh and birdied the eighth hole to get into the mix.
Then it was Ogilvy's turn.
He finished the back nine with a birdie on the 18th, where the pin was cut in the front of the green. On his next hole, from a deep bunker right of the fairway, he hit 8-iron to a back pin, 12 feet away for what he called his best birdie of the day.
There were a lot of them.
"It was nice to hole the putts," Ogilvy said. "If anything has been missing from my game the last month or two it's been poor putting."
Ogilvy noticed the low scores when he arrived at the course. Along with Rose at 65, Mickelson was joined by Andres Romero of Argentina, Rory Sabbatini and Michael Letzig, who last year played the final round with Woods and saw his 65 to win.
"It was definitely a day to make some birdies," Ogilvy said. "You want to take advantage of a day like today because this course generally won't get any easier during the week. It does give you a few chances, and it's nice to take them, for sure."
As for that little miss?
"Just one of those things," he shrugged. "It happens to you two or three times a year."
It happened on the par-3 eighth, when Ogilvy was at 8 under and had a birdie putt just inside 15 feet. He ran it 30 inches by the cup, and without marking the ball, stepped over it and saw it spin in and out of hole.
"It's easier when you miss a 2-foot and it takes you back to 7 under," he said.
Woods could have gone either way.
He went long of the first green for a bogey, and dropped another shot on the sixth when his approach from the left rough hit a sprinkler just short of the green and bounced over the putting surface and into the gallery.
Consecutive birdies around the turn brought him back to even as he headed to the par-5 11th, but with a wedge in hand, he went some 40 feet beyond the pin and had to make a 5-foot putt for par. He didn't make birdie the rest of the day, and didn't have that many good chances at them.
"If I take care of the par 5s, I'm right there," he said.

Pagliacci's, a restaurant rooted in north Denver's Italian-American heritage that introduced four generations of diners to everything from gnocchi to gamberi diavolo, is shutting its doors.
The venerable Italian restaurant at 1440 W. 33rd Ave. will close Aug. 19 after 66 years in business.
It will be razed to make way for a five-story apartment building.
For owner Rose Langston, the 71-year-old niece of founder Frank Grandinetti, it is the end of an era. Thousands of Denver residents, folks who sat amid whitewashed walls and murals dining on the restaurant's memorable seven-layer lasagna, would agree.
"It was a good life," Langston said Monday morning. "It's been a really emotional day. I raised my family here."
That family includes four grown children, all of whom worked in the restaurant growing up. One, Mark, 45, remains as general manager.
Langston said she is unsure about the restaurant's future.
"I can't make a definite comment," she said. "I know that sounds vague, but it's up to my family. We haven't gotten there yet. I think the news has sort of put them in emotional shock."
Langston declined to talk about the particulars of the project that will replace Pagliacci's, but the bottom line is that she has sold the property to a developer.
A check with public records showed that TreeHouse Brokerage & Development filed a letter with the Public Works Plans Review Services in late June for an alleyway clearance at 1440 W. 33rd Ave., the restaurant's address. The planned construction: A five-story building with retail on the first floor and four stories of apartments above it.
"I wouldn't have any comments about the project right now," said Clem Rinehart, a TreeHouse partner. "We're at a pretty critical stage of our deal right now, so we're just waiting until later to talk about what's going on."
TreeHouse is Denver-based. Its website lists three developments underway: an unnamed 10-story luxury condo at 15th Street and Delgany, Framework at Sloan's Lake, and LoHi Flats, described as a "five-story boutique apartment project in the heart of LoHi," which sounds a lot like the project replacing Pagliacci's.
The idea of losing Pagliacci's is tough to swallow in a town with a dwindling number of classic red-sauce outlets, especially in north Denver.
News of Pagliacci's impending shuttering was posted on The Denver Post's Colorado Table blog early Monday morning, after a reader reported that a waiter told her about the closing while she dined at the restaurant over the weekend.
Patron Tim Hudson's sentimental comments were echoed in other postings on the blog.
"My father went there as a young man, and all of his children and grandchildren have eaten there too (he died in 1972)," Hudson wrote. "So we have three generations of Pagliacci lovers in our family. This is really sad."
The Pagliacci's story is a good one, ripe as a tomato with immigrant ambition, the American dream, and even a love story. It was founded in 1946 by Grandinetti, a Sicilian produce vendor who six years earlier had met his future bride, Thelma Balzano.
The family legend has it that one day when Thelma leaned out her window to chat with Frank, he tossed her an apple.
"I know it sounds corny, but that's a true story," Langston said.
The restaurant became a staple of the Denver dining scene soon after its launch a year after World War II ended.
Six decades later, diners could still see prom-going teens stopping in for dinner, all of them diligently trying to keep the marinara sauce off gowns and tuxedos.
Asked if the restaurant was planning a send-off party, Langston sighed. "No, we're really not," she said. "We have such a broad client base it would be difficult."
Even as the restaurant shutters, Langston said she holds out hope that the food will continue — though fans might have to cook, or at least reheat it, themselves.
The family has been approached about doing packaged goods, Pagliacci's-branded foods such as sauces, soups and some of their signature pastas that could be sold in grocery stores.
"That's something I've wanted to do for a long time," Langston said.

I'd like to have it so that my device will connect to the 'net over GPRS whilst it's connected, so it still gets email updates every 30 minutes while connected. But it doesn't work - it gives a connection failure and only downloads email if I specifically disconnect from the USB cable and then hit send/receive.
I have the "Allow wireless connection on the device when connected to the desktop" option checked in Activesync, but it appears to make no difference.
It's really annoying to have to periodically disconnect my device to see if I have any email.
Any ideas?

Billy Gibbons Boards a Psychedelic Time Machine
Before the beards, cars and fuzzy guitars, Billy Gibbons led the Moving Sidewalks, a loud, bluesy Houston-based quartet that helped draft the blueprint for ZZ Top while building on the late-sixties psychedelic rock movement that was blooming simultaneously in Texas and San Francisco.

Cody Canada may be from Oklahoma, but the former Cross Canadian Ragweed frontman has called New Braunfels home for many years, and his new band, Cody Canada and the Departed, is a Texas proposition.
The Departed will release its first album of original material, Adventus (the Latin word for "arrival"), on November 13.
The first single from the new set, "Worth the Fight," is already out, but listen to an exclusive debut of "250,000 Things" here.

How Billy Gibbons Got His Groove Back
Put yourself in Billy Gibbons' shoes. Back in the eighties, you fronted one of the biggest bands in the world. You sold tens of millions of albums, toured the globe incessantly, and became the weird, bearded face of Texas cool. But that was a generation ago, and now you and your bandmates are in your sixties and want to prove that you're still relevant. What could you possibly do?
Billy Gibbons on the "Zee Zee Top" Prom Photo
Three days ago, a Reddit user uploaded a photo of "Zee Zee Top" playing a prom in Texas. The Huffington Post picked up the image (above), and it quickly went viral. According to HuffPo, "The photo matches up with an account of a 1971 appearance at the Little Cypress-Mauriceville High School prom."
Rocky Ascent
In 1979, under the headline "Lone Star Legend," Rolling Stone profiled Rocky Hill, detailing the Houston guitarist's career, which was too often derailed by stubbornness and self-sabotage. The piece refers to an unreleased album that the writer guessed might trigger Hill's transition from a regional guitar hero to a national one.

Brendan Haywood has been waived by the Dallas Mavericks, who designated the 7-foot center as their amnesty player. With the move Thursday, the Mavericks took advantage of the one-time provision in the new CBA allowing them to let Haywood go without his remaining contract counting against their salary cap or luxury tax. Haywood is set to make $8.3 million next season and is due $27 million over the final three guaranteed years in his deal. In 154 games with Dallas, Haywood averaged 5.4 points and 5.9 rebounds and was part of it 2011 NBA championship. He was acquired from Washington in Feb. 2010 as part of a seven-player deal. Haywood has averaged 7.2 points and 6.3 rebounds in 733 career games over 11 seasons, all with Washington and Dallas.

Calling for settling on priority the problem of ongoing interstate boundary disputes in the Northeast, Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today cited lack of infrastructure facilities as one of its main problems. "The problem of ongoing interstate boundary disputes is something that we have not been able to sort out. These need to be settled on priority," said Gogoi at the Conference of Chief Ministers of North Eastern states organised here by the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER).
"One of the main problems is that most of the interstate borders are lacking infrastructure facilities such as adequate roads, schools, health facilities, power supply, etc," Gogoi said at the meeting attended by DoNER minister Gen(retd) V K Singh and N-E Chief Ministers. "We, therefore, request that a 'Special Package for Development of All the Interstate Border Areas' should be announced by the Government of India," he said, adding, the Ministry of DoNER should also pay greater attention to funding inter-state and regional projects that develop adequate infrastructure in the border areas.

Pointing out that militancy was also a major issue affecting the N-E region, the Chief minister wanted the central government to assist the states in tackling it. "We have also not controlled the tendency for militancy that afflicts this region; indeed, militancy appears to be controlled in one area and in one community, only to resurface in another area and in another community," Gogoi said. "The effect of years of militant aggression among the larger ethnic groups has given rise to spill over effects among smaller groups, who see the benefits that the larger groups have been able to get by pressurising the system," he said.
"Our region's politicians, administrators and development planners have to take these factors into account while planning their strategies to counter militancy and develop their societies. We call on the central government to assist the states in tackling this issue," Gogoi added.

How Trillanes got his job as special negotiator for shoal standoff
More News from Maila Ager
More News from INQURER.net
MANILA, Philippines – President Benigno Aquino III has appointed Senator Antonio Trillanes IV as special envoy to help in the government's negotiation with China over the Scarborough shoal dispute, the senator himself said on Wednesday.
"[It's a] back-channel arrangement so meaning I was the especial envoy of the President," Trillanes told reporters in the Senate.
"Yes I had the authority of the President," he said when asked if the appointment was made formal.
But asked again if the appointment was put in black and white, the senator said, "No black and white [deal]."
Trillanes quickly pointed out however that the President himself during a Cabinet meeting has announced that he had authorized him to talk in behalf of the government.
He also corrected presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda's statement that it was him who approached the President to help in the negotiation.
It was Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Trillanes said, who asked him to help the government in one of their conversations sometime in May this year.

Yvonne Chaka Chaka
Yvonne Chaka Chaka (born Yvonne Machaka in 1965) is a South African singer.
Dubbed the "Princess of Africa" (a name she received after a 1990 tour), Chaka Chaka has been at the forefront of South African popular music for 20 years and has been popular in Zimbabwe, Kenya, Gabon, Sierra Leone and Ivory Coast.[1] Songs like "I'm Burning Up", "thank you mister dj", "I Cry for Freedom", "Makoti", "Motherland" and the ever-popular "Umqombothi" ("African Beer") ensured Yvonne's stardom.
The song "Umqombothi" was featured in the opening scene of the 2004 movie Hotel Rwanda.
Chaka Chaka was born in Dobsonville in Soweto.[1] She became the second Black child to appear on South African television. In 1981 "Sugar Shack", a talent show, introduced her to the South African public.
Chaka Chaka started singing at 19 in 1985 when Phil Hollis of Dephon Records discovered her in Johannesburg.[1] Shortly after, her debut album "I'm in Love With a DJSongs like "I'm Burning Up", "I Cry for Freedom", "Sangoma","Motherland" and the ever-popular, "Umqombothi" immediately ensured Chaka Chaka's status as a star on South Africa's mbaqanga music scene.
Chaka Chaka had it tough growing up. Her father died when she was 11 and her mother, a domestic worker, brought up three daughters on her meagre 40 Rand a month salary.
She has two diplomas from the University of South Africa, one in adult education, another in local government, management and administration. She also studied speech and drama at Trinity College, London, qualifying in 1997.
Releasing hit after hit, Chaka Chaka's subsequent award winning albums include "Burning Up", "Sangoma", "Who's The Boss", "Motherland", " Be Proud to be African", "Thank You Mr DJ", "Back on my Feet", "Rhythm of Life", "Who's got the Power", "Bombani ( Tiko Rahini), "Power of Afrika", "Yvonne and Friends" and "Kwenzenjani".
Chaka Chaka owns a limousine company together with her husband, Dr Mandlalele Mhinga, has her own music label and her own production company. She teaches literacy part-time at the University of South Africa, sits on several boards of charitable organisations and NGOs, and serves on the board of the Johannesburg Tourism Company.
Throughout her illustrious career Chaka Chaka has met people like Nelson Mandela (singing at his 85th birthday party), the Queen and Oprah Winfrey.
Chaka Chaka's continuing legacy as "Princess of Africa" is a testament to her connection to everyday people as well as royalty. Whether she is performing for Kings and Queens, Presidents and First Ladies or corporate concerts; she always returns to those she loves - her fans and family of listeners in South African cities, townships and rural areas.
"Mama Africa", Miriam Makeba said of her "She's my baby!", Hugh Masekela adds that Yvonne is "my mad niece". Legends Dolly Rathebe and Dorothy Masuka describe Yvonne's music as "something that all should listen to".
When asked who she admired most, Chaka Chaka said
|My mother because she has always been there for me. My mother raised three daughters single-handedly on a domestic worker's salary. That took great courage and strength. She is my mentor and hero. When I was born in 1965 in Soweto, it was during apartheid, and those were extremely difficult times. My dad was a great musician who could never realize his dream. He died when I was 11 years old. I inherited my talent from both parents, so music has always been in my blood. When I was little I would strum an empty tin and blow into a broom stick pretending it was a microphone. I sang in church choirs. I loved singing. I am blessed that I achieved my destiny, and been able to accomplish what my father could not.
Then she married Tiny Mhinga[1] who is related to Mavivi Myakayaka Manzini and is the uncle to Lebohang Manzini.
She served as an Honorary Colonel in the South African Air Force.[2]
In 2015 she signed an open letter which the ONE Campaign had been collecting signatures for; the letter was addressed to Angela Merkel and Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, urging them to focus on women as they serve as the head of the G7 in Germany and the AU in South Africa respectively, which will start to set the priorities in development funding before a main UN summit in September 2015 that will establish new development goals for the generation.[3]

Mumford & Sons
In May 2009, the Cave and the Open Sea EP was released; meanwhile, Mumford & Sons signed to Island Records and worked with producer Markus Dravs (the Arcade Fire, Maccabees) on their first full-length. That summer, the single "Little Lion Man" became the first taste of their new material; it was named Hottest Record in the World This Week by BBC 1 Radio DJ Zane Lowe in July. The group was short-listed for the BBC's Sound of 2009 Poll shortly before its debut album, Sigh No More, was released that winter. It was issued a year later in America on the Glassnote Records label and sold over a million copies between the two countries. The group's second studio album, the much anticipated Babel, arrived in September 2012. The album would become a commercial hit, topping the Billboard charts before going platinum in the U.S. and receiving a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
Recorded live over two nights at Colorado's legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the band's first live film/recording, Road to Red Rocks, followed in late 2012, but after wrapping up their international tour in support of Babel, the group members announced that they would be going on an indefinite hiatus. In early 2015 the band announced both a return to the stage and plans to release a new album. The resulting James Ford-produced Wilder Mind, the group's third studio long-player, arrived in early May of that year. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Graduate-level research in human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, programming, databases, and software engineering, among other areas, makes this one of the most prominent departments nationally. A key area of strength is the collaboration opportunities with other centers and departments. In one example of that collaboration, the department will share in a $250 million gift to the university from the Coleman Institute to develop technologies that will enhance the lives of people with cognitive disabilities. Over the next few years the department will also use four successive awards to improve its computing infrastructure.
Artificial intelligence, databases, hardware systems, human-centered computing, hypermedia, machine learning, networks, numerical analysis, parallel computation, program analysis, programming languages, scientific computing, security, software engineering, software systems, speech and natural language processing, systems, and theory. Related areas of study: cognitive science, speech, and graphics/virtual reality.
The master of engineering does not require a residency on campus and is intended to meet the needs of those practicing engineers who are working full time outside the university. It allows participants to pursue an integrated program of studies by specializing in one engineering discipline and selecting courses from other engineering fields and business subjects related to the individual student's professional work.
The master of science degree permits graduate students the flexibility in defining specialized interdisciplinary fields that meet their professional needs.
Studies leading to the doctor of philosophy degree must be chosen to contribute to special competence and a high order of scholarship in a broad field of knowledge. Although the field of study will normally be in the department of computer science, except for essential related subject matter, studies may include one or more closely related departments. What shall constitute an acceptable organized program of study and research is established in consultation with a major advisor and without regard to the organization of academic departments in the university.
Opportunities for dual degree include:
Applicants must:
Hardware Requirement: CSCI 2400 Software Requirement: Any one of CSCI 3155 or CSCI 3753
Theory Requirement (two courses): CSCI 2270 and either CSCI 3104 or CSCI 3434.
Teaching assistantships, research assistantships, and grader positions are available. PhD students receive priority for TA and RA positions.
