Nanotechnology, nuclear
science courses on offer
Muaz Shabandri / 31 May 2011
With the announcement of CBSEs grade 12 results, students across the UAE have started completing last-minute formalities for undergraduate studies.
While India represents a platter of educational opportunities for these students, the opening of reputed universities in Dubai has brought unique courses to the region.
Key developments in nuclear energy, tourism, hospitality and health have prompted education providers to look away from conventional course offerings.
Amity University, India's largest private university has announced its new campus in Dubai International Academic City, offering students the opportunity to study nuclear science, nanotechnology, solar energy and aerospace engineering among several other new courses.
Announcing the official launch of the Amity University in Dubai, Dr Ayoub Kazim, Managing Director, TECOM education cluster said, "Bringing one of India's top ranked private universities to Dubai is a distinct honour for us. The academic programmes are quite unique and they will add value and respond to the industry needs. Amity University is going to offer programmes that will meet the industry needs during the coming years.
He highlighted the role of education providers like Amity which will help support the development of UAE's nuclear energy programme and present interested students with new learning opportunities as the university.
Dr Ayoub also pointed towards the rapid growth of tourism and hospitality, not just in the UAE but also regionally. "Almost a quarter of Dubai's GDP is driven by tourism, but unfortunately there aren't enough education providers catering to this industry," said Dr Ayoub.
Speaking with Khaleej Times, Atul Chauhan, Chancellor, Amity University said, "We are looking at building our own campus in Dubai during the coming years as the city has seen phenomenal growth over the last decade. There have been significant developments in Dubai and currently we plan to have two admission offices where students can seek information about the various courses."
Speaking about the university's plan to launch an undergraduate degree in nuclear science, Atul said, "The government has a strategy to establish a very significant nuclear science initiative and as educational institutions we will provide the skilled people needed to lift the economy by creating a pool of human talent."
While universities in Dubai have created a large number of business graduates, few students have explored careers in natural sciences, alternative energy, insurance and public health.
"We are going to start with 20 degrees and very few universities in Dubai offer such high-end courses. Education in nuclear science and nanotechnology require a significant amount of investment and we will offer students with programmes customised to suit the needs of the regional economy," said Atul.
He added, "The strength of Amity is its integration with the industry when developing its curriculum. We will use the industry inputs to customise our educational offerings to meet the regional manpower needs.
Amity has over 5,000 faculty members and scientists working worldwide. Students based in Dubai will benefit from the faculty exchange programmes. "The biggest problem facing education is the development of graduates who are employable. We ensure that our students are employable and from over 7,000 students were recruited from our campuses this year. We will try to include campus placements in Dubai also." With its opening in September this year, the university has announced a total of 125 scholarships. — firstname.lastname@example.com

Mexicans are More Hygienic than Americans
That's right, according to official statistics; Mexico tops the list of countries that shower the most. Close to 90% of Mexicans shower every single day, compared to approximately 70% of Americans. Does this mean Americans aren't as hygienic as Mexicans, or does it mean Americans think about the environment more than Mexicans? Second on the list is Australia, followed by France, USA, UK, Russia, Sweden, Germany and then China. Just 25% of Chinese men shower every day.

"Designing Cities for People"
Submitted by Joe Menard on Wed, 05/02/2007 - 11:37am
More than just a New Urbanist priority, urban sustainability and livability are issues examined by Lester R. Brown of the Earth Policy Institute in his recent book Plan B 2.0: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble. In this excerpt, Brown compares transportation priorities of the world's cities – both auto-centric and transit-based - and how transportation planning is affecting the environment and quality of life in those places. Recognizing that a "new urbanism" has emerged to respond to the immobility of automobiles in cities, Brown highlights Bogota as a major city that has successfully revitalized its streets and public spaces for pedestrian-use.

Yet we hear today that Romney's campaign has a plan to make him more likable (!)
During a town hall at St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire today, Mitt Romney took a question from a St. Anselm junior who just took out her first loan. The student asked Romney to explain his plan for her generation, which is facing a student debt crisis of historic proportions.
Rather than propose a substantive plan to help college students afford their education, Romney offered a generalized critique of the economy without once mentioning the student debt crisis. Romney essentially told the young woman to get a job, cracking a joke about how the new American dream is "getting your kids out of the home you own."
ROMNEY: The first thing I will do is to make sure we do not keep adding more and more debt you do not even know about. That's number one. Number two, the next thing I will do for you is to make sure when you graduate, you can get a job. Half of the kids coming out of college this year, half can't find a job or a job that is consistent with a college degree. It's unacceptable. We have to make sure young people coming into the work force can get a job…Now I know it is very tempting as a politician to go out and say, you know what, I'll just give you some money. The government's just going to give you some money and pay back your loans for you. I'm not going to tell you something that's not the truth. Because that is just taking money from your other pocket and giving it to the other pocket. I'm not going to go out and promise all sorts of free stuff that I know you're going to end up paying for. What I want to do is give you a great job so you will be able to pay back yourself. And I want to get the government off your back so you can keep more of what you earned.
There is no better way to crystallize just how out of touch Romney is than that statement.
"Two-thirds of American students go into debt in order to get a college degree, and some estimates have put the national student loan debt at $1 trillion. In the past, Romney has revealed his indifference toward rising tuition costs by blithely telling students to "get as much education as they can afford," "borrow money if you have to from your parents," or join the military. Meanwhile, Romney has chosen a running mate who wants to gut Pell grants for more than 1 million students in the next decade. Obama, on the other hand, recently signed a bill to keep student loan interest rates from doubling."
Remember when Ann Romney told us about the tough times she and Mitt went through in college? How they had to take money out of Mitt's trust fund. Romney's usual answer is to mock them for "wanting free stuff."
Remember George W. Bush's line? He used to be like "Gee, I wish I could just wave a wand and it would be all better."
Romney's is to mock them for wanting "free stuff." The best part was when he told a college student that if she wants free stuff she should "vote for the other guy."
For once he has good advice.

wow that was a quick reply. awesome! ill try it now. thanks!
LOVE e404 themes! Great support, awesome designs. How about developing a responsive theme e404? I am migrating towards only responsive themes and I would love to use some more of yours if they were.
Here is my site if anyone is looking for a decent adsense or advertising example:Miley Cyrus Tattoos
Thanks for good words.
Our next theme will be responsive. It should be released this week.
BOOM ! there it is!
WHenever I create a slide and I go to view it, I am getting a 404 error message.. page not found!!!!
You can't preview slides because the don't have their own pages. They can be only displayed in sliders.
When I use this code, the toggle itself is broken, no content there, and the whole thing is braking.. something just goes wrong there…
Now, If I use [one_half]s instead of [full_page] shortcodes, everything is good…
Can you check on your end what's the problem (or if you're able to replicate?)
You can't use nested [full_page] shortcodes.
I know that but it's within [code]... shouldn't it just write at as raw text?
Yes, you're right. Try to remove the first [full_page] shortcode – it's not necessary.
Hi there,
How can I change the font in the main menu bar? The menu bar which goes across the top of the front page about a quarter of the way down, where the words 'Home, About, Blog', usually appear?
Thanks loads
.sf-menu li { font: 14px/20px Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; }
I just wanted a basic font, so changed one from the drop down menu in both 'Menu Font' and Sub Menu Font and it made no difference.
Did you check the 'Enable the fonts replacement with Google Web Fonts.' checkbox (Theme Options -> Fonts Options)?
All sorted now – thanks again for your usual prompt reply:)
Can you tell me if this theme can be used on a MU Wordpress install?
Yes, it can be used on a Networked WordPress installation with one small modification (TimThumb needs to be pointed to a correct virtual folder) and I can help you with that.
A new theme version is already available. It contains a WordPress 3.4 compatibility fix. The full changelog can be found in the item description.
That's great! I'll contact you if/when I have any problems.
I have a question: for some reason my menu navigation box got very tall, which pushed the rest of my content half way down the screen. Any idea what I could have done wrong?
my website is mpsink.com
I can't see any issues on your website. Do you mean the gap between the top menu and the page content?
#header { min-height: 140px; } #logo { padding: 10px 0; }
I have purchased the theme and encountered the predicted problem – TimThumb issues!
Can you help?
What do you need?
If you want to use this theme with WPMU you need to make one small modification in the scalling function. Please send me an email through the contact form on our profile page and I'll send you instructions (ThemeForest comment system breaks pasted code).
Client has a WordPress versions 3.3.1 site with an older version of Spicy Theme… and wants to upgrade her site to WordPress version 3.4
We were concerned about compatibility of WP 3 .4 with an older Spicy Theme and checked your site….
Noted in the ChangeLog that on June 24 2012 the Spicy Theme was [fiixed] for WP 3 .4 Compatibility..
Can you advise what has to be done to the older version of Spicy to enable upgrading the site to WordPress 3.4
Site is: http://bodyevolution.us
Any help, much appreciated.
Please ask your question using the account you have used to purchase the theme. Thank you.
Hello, I have spyce for my site for almost a year and I love it. Today I upgraded to wordpress 3.4 and the nivo slider won't work anymore. I tried to read your comments page searching for answers, instead of bothering you, but I tried all without success: 1-Deactivated all plugins 2-Cleaned Cache 3-777 and 755 Cache folder 4-Reload the images as features 5-Downloaded theme new version and replace basic directories lib, js, inc, but I can't replace others cause it would erase my design.
Im sending my site on your email from the envato form, can you please take a look? The other sliders work but not well.The images show up with them, but distorted… Thank you
Few days ago we have released a theme update. It contains the fix for WordPress 3.4. Please download it from ThemeForest and update your installation. You can upload only modified files – you can find the list in the 'documentation/changelog.txt' file. The most important file is functions.php.
Is there supposed to be a 'Shortcode' button for Spicey, in the WYSIWYG editor for pages/posts? I just recently utilized the 'Ice' theme (love the e404 themes thus far) and I was surprised there wasn't a Shortcode button for Spicey.
Installation went without issue, etc. Known issue or anything? Not a problem to copy/paste, but I figured I'd check.
Thanks in advance!
The Spicy Theme doesn't have a Shortcode Generator. Sorry.
No worries at all, just wanted to check and see if it was by design. Thanks so much for the quick reply! Like I said, two e404 themes thus far and they have both been a pleasure to work with.
Thanks again!
I somehow jacked up my homepage but would like it to look more like the one on your demo site with the content. I am talk about the but unlimited colors, plugins and shortcodes sections. How do I get those back? Is there anyway to reset my homepage and start over? I am a novice at this but love your theme!!
You can use our demo home page code – you can find it in the 'sample data/home_page.txt' file.
I may be the biggest idiot but I cannot find that file at all.
I'm sorry – you can find the 'home_page.txt' file in the 'sample content' (not 'sample data') folder.
Thank you so much for a quick reply. It worked and I will probably come back with more questions as I continue to build.
Hi, I'm using this theme – which is generally great and working very well – with Formidable Pro form builder.
That all works fine, except Spicy Theme is adding a br tag at the end of every line in a text area on every save, even though I've enclosed the form shortcode in raw tags. So every time a user saves, they get another br visible at the end of the line!
Any ideas how to stop this?
In don't think is has something to do with the theme, because the theme doesn't add any br tags anywhere. Please send me your WP admin panel login and password (use the contact form on our profile page) – I would like to look at this issue.
I've purchased the Spicy theme (love it!) and wanted to utilize the button short code. The buttons are there on the page, but no short code. How do I obtain it? Thanks!
You can learn more about the button shortcode in the theme documentation.

Pork Shoulder Question
I'm planning to make a pretty decent sized braised pork shoulder this weekend for a party. The problem is, that as it is, it won't fit in my oval stockpot. Can I cut it in half to make it fit, or will it not turn out as good? How much space do I need to leave between the meat and sides of the pot?
I also haven't decided on a final recipe yet (although I'm leaning towards an apple cider/beer based one), so suggestions welcome!
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Mapless in Madagascar
Madagascar - a place I've dreamt about visiting ever since camping on a Mozambique beach under a full moon and gazing out across the Indian Ocean. Although it's out of sight, knowing that there was this immense and slightly mysterious island out there.
However it's not on the way to anywhere and is expensive to get to, other ride projects have got in the way over the years but then I started to seriously think about it. Or about as serious as I get, I even did some research...
I did a search on ADV to get further info and came up with this great RR
this ride was where a bloke from ADV and his wife headed to Madagascar for their honeymoon and the pictures look amazing. They could only afford two weeks, so I had a think about it and reckoned if I didn't bother with the wedding bit (because those are expensive) then WOW I could go for longer and hey, if I didn't take my man with me I could buy a motorbike out there AND stay for even longer:clap:clap
Sounds great to me, not everyone would agree but the ex-boyfriend isn't on ADV so he won't read this!!
The plan is to head over there, buy a bike and travel around exploring for three months- sounds good doesn't it:D
My Dad mis-read the name of this trip (every journey needs a title) and chuckled "Hapless, that about sums up all your trips" thanks for the vote of confidence Dad!
In fact it's Mapless, although I am taking a map, the reality is that many of the places that I'm hoping to visit are not actually on any maps, they're too small and too remote - just the type of places I like.
I've even got a sticker for the trip - very un-British of me
For those still unsure, Madagascar is the island to the right of the front wheel on the bike.
wish I was there.
The big sticker trips are some of the best ones:thumb
Maybe one day I'll get the chance for that island, until then:lurk
looking forward to this one:D
Traveled in Madagascar. Beware of local drivers- they make Mexico City look tame. Extremely primitive but usable road heading to the Lemur Preserve. In one case a bus ran off the road, all the passengers turned into towing service, pushing and pulling to get going. Once they hit open paved roads, they drive fast.
Saw some neat places. Huge destination spot for UK birders on the islands. Not many US travelers when we were there- maybe 2008. The RR was great- I remember those bridges. The best thing about the red dirt road for a bike, it slowed the cars, and bikes could navigate big ruts and holes. They didn't mention lack of English speaking Madis. Bikes cut through most language barriers.
I am the bloke above!!!!!!
Yes it was amazing!
If I can give you any help or suggestion just give me a shout!
Some other bloke has just posted up a video about his Madagascar trip as well so that can give people an idea of what it's like over here. I'll have ot get to a decent internet connection to watch it myself.
Getting Ready
You guys are always asking about what gear I'm using etc, so here goes
The final few weeks in England were pretty busy with getting ready to go whilst still holding down a full-time job up until the day before I left the countryhttp://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...milies/doh.gif
I've had a lot of help from various people, whom I like to think are doing this because they feel
"Wow what a great adventure to support"
but actually I suspect it's something more along the lines of
"that poor misguided Englishwoman is setting off again, she needs all the help she can get"!
First of all Bill Mayers who customised the seat on Thelma for me, and who is someone that realises just what a bony backside I've got, has sent me a strap-on seat. A new BMS Ergo, to try out
whilst those nice chaps at Giant Loop sent me a box of goodies
My excitement knows no bounds as I dig through the contents of the box
Here it all is, now I've got to work out how to attach it to a bike. Some of the stuff is new prototype- if it passes the Tiffany Coates test than anyone can use it!
I fitted in a quick trip to Cyprus to visit my brother, refresh my diving skills and get some warmth!
I also had some new sunglasses from Ugly Fish - the best motorcycle glasses in the world
While I'm away, Thelma will be in the safe hands of Craig and Barbara where she will be having a bit of an overhaul and some TLC. It was sad to leave her behind, but nice to see how happy these two are to have her in their clutches! I'll be getting regular updates.
Ian Coates came down the weekend before I left- mainly to wave someone off at Lands End but I persuaded him to stay for a couple of days, and we managed a nice coastal walk... in the driving rain!
Ian has also travelled extensively, and as we share a surname (no relation) he's often asked in various corners of the world- are you Tiffany's Dad?! We've narrowly missed each other when we've managed to be on the same continent and were even once both in Bulgaria at the same time but opposite ends of the country and I had a tour group tagging along who would probably not have appreciated doing a social call! So it was good to finally met up.
Maps purchased from Stanfords and I was ready to go, once more heading to an airport with full bike gear.
I'm There!!
It's a long journey to Madagascar.
And straight away everything looks and feels different
That was the view from the taxi. The taxis are easy to spot, they're all beige and almost every one is an old French classic complete with holes in the floor where I could see the ground passing by
Scenes from the local market
The view from my room
The dogs I was sharing the house with
As soon as possible I headed to the bike shop, they're selling me a Suzuki DR 350, which looks good - not that I'd know if it wasn't looking good! It's going to be ready on Monday so in the meantime they said I can borrow something else for the weekend. I've got this Suzuki 250cc (at least I think that's what it is!)
the guys at Motostore Madagsacar have been really helpful and friendly.
Here I am, getting ready to set off.
A new Tiffany adventure!!! Have fun and be well!
What to do for the weekend?
With the 250 loaded up, I had the weekend ahead of me and I needed to beat the rush hour traffic getting out of town, Madagascar is similar to Mongolia in that there is a decided lack of paved roads- just five roads lead out of the capital so it's not too hard to find your way. I was soon weaving and filtering through the various vehicles as I made my way west to the Highlands.
The roads pretty soon got much quieter which was nice, the tarmac isn't bad except for the occasional pot hole.
I stopped for a cold drink from this guy...
The rural villages have only dirt roads and zebu carts- zebu being the African cattle with humps on their backs and big horns, they're used more like oxen as they plough with them and get them to pull heavily laden carts often with wheels made of iron-clad wood.
A dirt track led me to a clearing amongst some citrus trees, the sun was setting fast so I put up my tent just before it got dark (stealth camping at its best).
By the morning half the village had wandered past to say hello...so much for my stealth!!
Moving on I found a lovely spot by Lake Itasy and decided on a room for the night and a meal on the terrace overlooking the lake
I was delighted to find that not only did they offer tea but that it was served in a large tea pot.
I went for a wander around the village and found a laundry line with a difference. the locals wash their clothes in the river, then climb up the river bank and arrange the laundry on the bridge railings to dry.
Street food is something I always try. This was unlike anything I had ever seen - was it meat or fish??
The guy selling it assured me it's sweet and definitely vegetarian friendly so I bought a slice.
I liked the way he served it wrapped in a piece of paper torn from a school exercise book - complete with a lesson written on it.
Internet access is a bit limited over here so there will be times when I don't get a chance to update for a bit then I do quite a few days in one go - bear with me on this one.
A new adventure for me to follow:clap
Thank you so much for adding a link to your old adventure....I may never have known you were off again.....Happy to see you back in your leather trousers again.:thumb.....looks more like the adventurer that we have all grown to looks forward too.
I would recommend to be out of there before the rainy season Tiffany :)
Looks like you need a ladder to get on this thing . TheReaper!

We don't need more food, we need to stop wasting the food we have. Failing to do so could mean losing an area of the land the size of Brazil to agriculture by 2050.
So says a new UN report, Assessing Global Land Use.
Smart production technologies like GM crops and vertical farms may be important for feeding the world, but first we need to stop wasting a third of the food that we produce. The way to do this is through pest control, better warehousing and less wasteful processing and consumption, says Stefan Bringezu of the Wuppertal Institute in Germany, a lead author of the report.
Roughly 5 billion hectares of land is used for agriculture. Of that, one-third is used to grow crops and two-thirds for pasture. Meanwhile, cities are expanding at the expense of farmland, and cropland is advancing at the expense of pastures and forests, resulting in a huge loss in biodiversity.
At the same rate,by 2050, with an extra two billion people on Earth, a further 850 million hectares will be destroyed, the report estimates – an area the size of Brazil.
But this could largely be avoided. Poor nations need to increase farm yields, while rich nations cut meat consumption – in the case of Americans by about 60 per cent, says another lead author, Robert Howarth at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York. "There is just not enough land on Earth for everyone in the world to eat like Americans and Europeans."
The report also recommends restoring degraded land, limiting the expansion of cities, reducing the amount of food crops that never get eaten, and curbing the expansion of biofuels. If not, forest will disappear, biodiversity will be reduced, and there will be more hunger and social chaos. Food prices are already on the rise, sparking bread riots. "The so-called Arab Spring was induced by soaring bread prices," says Bringezu.
The report notes a massive takeover of global agriculture by a handful of corporations – with 10 seed corporations, five grain traders and 10 pesticide manufacturers responsible for more than half of total sales. Are they part of the problem or part of the solution? "Both," says Bringezu.

RODALE NEWS, WASHINGTON, DC—Michelle Obama scolded the Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) at their meeting in Washington on Tuesday for not doing enough to reduce childhood obesity—and, in fact, for contributing to it. But if the assembled representatives of PepsiCo, Coca Cola, Kraft, Krispy Kreme, McDonald's, ConAgra, and other food and beverage manufacturers and fast-food chains were offended by the criticism, they never let on. Instead they laughed in all the right places, and gave her a standing ovation.
THE DETAILS: A press release for the lobbying group said GMA members are "enthusiastic supporters of Mrs. Obama's Let's Move! Initiative and its goal of solving childhood obesity."
Do they have a choice?
It's not the first time that the food industry has been censured for its contribution to the childhood-obesity epidemic. Part of what makes the food makers willing to turn the other cheek is that this time they were upbraided by the first lady—not some Nutritional Nazi, as they've described most people who have criticized them in the past. And another part of it is that they don't want to buck the trend toward more healthful food. And certainly part of their acceptance is due to Mrs. Obama's skill at mixing praise with criticism and humor. She complimented them on what they have done right, she pleaded with them as parents, she appealed to their better natures.
In conversations with several officials of the association after her speech, they offered supportive statements: "We've never had this kind of leadership at the White House." "She didn't talk about blame." "She didn't say there are good foods and bad foods." In fact, GMA insists that its members have already done a lot of what Mrs. Obama is suggesting: reducing the fat, calories, sugar or salt in 10,000 products, and following voluntary guidelines about what is advertised on children's programming. So, problem solved, right?

Edited by Jackie Gower, Graham Timmins

Routledge – 2011 – 184 pages
Series: Routledge Europe-Asia Studies
The conflict in South Ossetia in the summer of 2008 and the Ukrainian energy crisis in early 2009 served to highlight the tensions that continue to influence EU-Russia relations in regard to the region comprising the former republics of the Soviet Union or the 'shared neighbourhood'.
This book draws together research which examines the objectives of EU and Russian foreign policy and the complexities of the security challenges in this region. Although both actors have a shared interest in cooperating to create conditions of peace and stability, we have in recent years observed the development of growing competition between the EU and Russian foreign policy agendas.
This book was based on a special issue of Europe-Asia Studies.

THE late Minister of Gender and Family Promotion, Aloisea Inyumba, who succumbed to cancer last Thursday, will be laid to rest today after a state funeral at the Parliamentary Buildings in Kimihurura.
Inyumba, 48, passed away from her home in Kagugu, a Kigali suburb, two weeks after she returned from a hospital in Germany. She is survived by a husband and two children - a daughter aged 15, and a son 10.
MP Gideon Kayinamura, a relative to the deceased, told The New Times yesterday that the body of the late minister will leave King Faisal Hospital at around 07:30a.m and taken to her home for her family and friends to pay their respects.
Thereafter, at 9:30a.m, the body will be taken to Parliament where it will lie in state.
At Parliament government officials and members of the public will pay their last respects.
The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, the president of the Senate, and a representative of the Ministry of Gender and Family Promotion, are expected to eulogise the minister.
The Secretary General of the RPF - the party the fallen minister belonged to and served at the top level - Francois Ngarambe, will also deliver a eulogy in honour of Inyumba.
Later, at 11:30a.m, a requiem mass will be held at Christian Life Assembly in Nyarutarama, Gasabo District, before mourners head to Rusororo Public Cemetery for burial, at 2 p.m.
Inyumba, who served as the gender and social affairs minister in the immediate aftermath of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi and then made a comeback to the Cabinet in May, last year, is specially remembered for her commitment to the wellbeing and empowerment of Rwanda's women and children.
Her death sent shockwaves across Rwanda and beyond, with many describing her as a heroine, exemplary leader, loving mother and friend. Several personalities in and out of the country sent out online tributes.
Writing on his Twitter page, President Paul Kagame described Inyumba's death as "a great loss for RPF, nation and all of us at a personal level".
He said Inyumba was "among the best of RPF and national leaders."
Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi tweeted, "Inyumba has been a collaborator who has always merited my trust. I will miss her wide and hearty advisory assistance. Inyumba had a dream: Rwanda Diaspora living peacefully like brothers and connected with their mother-land. RIP."
Olivier Nduhungirehe, First Counsellor, Permanent Mission of Rwanda to the UN, wrote, "Your body is gone but your soul survives. Your hands are gone but your deeds remain. Your feet are gone, but your friends will always be there".
Tributes for the fallen mother of two also came from international celebrities.
Former Miss France Sonia Rolland tweeted, "All my condolences to Aloisea Inyumba's Family...We have lost a very special woman."
Hollywood star Ben Affleck wrote, "Deep sadness to lose a friend & hero, the remarkable Aloisea Inyumba, Rwanda's Minister, Gender and Women in Development".
International evangelist Rick Warren tweeted, "We grieve with Rwanda in the death of our dear friend Min. Aloisea Inyumba. We pray for Dr. Richard and children".
Winnie Byanyima, Director of the Gender Group at UNDP, said, "We mourn the loss of a dear sister, one of Rwanda's greatest patriots, Hon Aloisea Inyumba. A senior member of the RPF, a freedom fighter."
Praises for the departed minister also came from journalists. Ugandan journalist Arinaitwe Rugyendo said, "I met departed Rwandan icon Aloisea Inyumba at President Paul Kagame's official residence a year ago. She was so down to earth."
James Smith, CEO Aegis Trust, twitted, "Inyumba has left us too soon. She was our friend and inspiration. Rest in Peace."
Anne Heyman-Merrin, founder of Agahozo Youth Village for Orphans, said, "Agahozo-Shalom mourns the passing of Minister Aloisea Inyumba and extends condolences to her family and to the nation of Rwanda"
Barbara Barungi, an African economist, wrote, "Rwanda's Inyumba was a role model, a woman with strong conviction and dedication to national freedom, inclusiveness, gender equality and development.
She spent the better part of her adult life as an RPF community mobiliser and was in charge of the party's finances during the 1990-94 liberation struggle that ousted the genocidal regime.
By the time of her death she was a commissioner in charge of international relations on the RPF National Executive Committee.
After her first stint in Cabinet, Inyumba went on to serve as the Executive Secretary for the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission (1999-2001), during which time the country was going through a critical phase of truth-telling, reconciliation and healing - from the Genocide and its after-effects.
During that period, she actively spearheaded a national adoption campaign to place Genocide orphans in homes.
Later, she was appointed the governor of the Kigali Ngali province before joining the country's inaugural Senate in 2004, and in May 2011 reappointed to Cabinet.
She spent her last days urging the public to adopt children from orphanages and to raise them as their own, with the view of phasing out orphanages.
As a result, several orphanages have already folded with former occupants now in foster homes.
The late Minister attended Rwamurunga Primary School in Nshungerezi before heading to Mary Hill Girls High School in Mbarara district, Uganda.
She later joined Makerere University in Kampala where she graduated with an Honors Degree in Social Work and Social Administration. Inyumba also held a Masters in International Relations from the Irish American University and the Swedish International Centre for Local Democracy.
She was also awarded an honorary doctorate from La Roche College in the United States.

Bearish Divergence Developing in S&Ps
- Posted by JC Parets
- on February 22nd, 2013
It looks to me like the US Stock market is finally joining this Bearish Divergence party that we've seen throughout Europe this year. I think this is a development that is definitely worth paying attention to. You see, when prices in a given asset class make new highs, we also want to see momentum putting in higher highs. When momentum diverges, it's a heads up that something isn't right. Think about it, when you throw a tennis ball up in the air, momentum in the speed of the ball is going to slow before it eventually hits its peak and reverses right? Same thing in markets.
In our case, we use the Relative Strength Index (RSI) as our momentum indicator of choice. We saw this oscillator diverge out in Europe throughout January, and we're currently watching the consequences. The EuroStoxx50 is down over 8% for February. Italy is down over 13% from its January highs, Spain is off more than 10%, and even the "quality", Germany and France, came off 6% and 7% respectively. All of these following bearish divergences between price and momentum.
Now we're seeing this develop in the US. Take a look at RSI this week make a much lower high as prices started the week off with fresh highs before rolling over. The divergence is clear and is a major warning sign for us.
We're also seeing this development in a few of the other averages. Here are the Midcaps and Transports as two more quick examples:
I think it's important to point out that this is happening. Last summer we saw the complete opposite occurring. Prices in S&Ps were making new lows into early June while RSI was putting in a higher low. While everyone was worried about Europe splitting up and the S&P500 breaking below the 200 day moving average, momentum was telling us that things were much better than the headlines would represent. In fact, Oil and Precious Metals were putting in Bullish Divergences as well. So I think it's only fair that we mention the bearish side of it now.

TEMPE, Ariz.- The Arizona State University wrestling team wrapped up an eventful day of competition with a third-place finish at the 2013 Pac-12 Wrestling Tournament at Wells Fargo Arena in Tempe, Ariz., on Saturday evening.*

Three Sun Devils were able to secure their positions the final rounds of the tournament- Kevin Radford, Blake Stauffer, and Jake Meredith- improving from last year's finals qualifier. *Each finished as the tournament runner-up.

Arizona State totaled 110.5 points, finishing behind second-place Boise State's 136.5 and champion Oregon State's 158.0 - their second-consecutive conference title.

The Sun Devils will return to action at the 2013 NCAA Championships beginning March 21 in Des Moines, Iowa.

Complete recaps of each of the day's sessions can be found below

FINALS RECAP

Senior heavyweight Levi Cooper came up victorious in his second overtime match of the day, defeating Dan Scherer of Stanford to secure the third place title. Boise State's JT Felix upset Cooper in the opening session of today's tournament after a double overtime thriller.

Top-seeded Jake Meredith was unable to clinch the title after a 4-0 loss to No. 2 Taylor Meeks of Oregon State. Meredith, who in is final year at Arizona State, competed in a post match wrestle off against Boise State's Codey Dixon, securing his bid to the NCAA Championships in Des Moines, Iowa, with a 1-0 victory.

The remaining finals competitors, Blake Stauffer and Kevin Radford also came up short in their matches, falling 10-4 and 3-1 respectively.

Sophomore Nathan Hoffer nabbed third place at 149 pounds with a shutout win (4-0) over Stanford's Timmy Boone.

No. 4-seed Matt Kraus fell short in his bid for third place, giving up a late takedown to Boise State's Travis Himmelman and settled for fourth-place.

Dalton Miller was able to secure the fifth place title at 125 pounds with a solid 15-6 win over Rami Haddadin from Boise State.

Joel Smith earned the fifth place title for the 157-weight class over Kyle Chene of Cal Poly with a final score of 6-4.

Ares Carpio took the forfeit win over No. 2 Ian Nickle of CSU Bakersfield after an injury sidelined the wrestler.

Newcomer Codey Combs came up short in his third-place match, falling by a score of 4-2 Holden Packard of Boise State in just his second career appearance at 165 pounds.

SESSION II RECAP

Arizona State would close the second session in third place with 102.5 points with three additional wins in the consolation semi-final round.

Fourth-seeded Matt Kraus would take on Stanford's Josh Lauderdale in the consolation semis in the 141-weight class. Kraus led 2-0 after the first period, and would dominate from then on and end the match with a 12-4 decision.

Kraus would continue to the consolation finals to wrestle for the third place position.

Nathan Hoffer continued that dominance to come up with a win over Dillen Rocha of Cal Poly in a 10-3 decision.

Freshman Codey Combs came up victorious against Cal Poly's Connor King with a major decision win (11-1)*

In one of the closest matches for ASU in the consolation semi-finals, Joel Smith fell short against Stanford's Kyle Meyer in a 7-5 decision. Smith trailed 3-0 in the second, but answered with two takedowns and taking the lead, 4-3.

Smith struggled with Meyer up until the final seconds of the match, giving up two takedowns but scoring on an escape but that came just a little late for the sophomore.

Dalton Miller fell to fourth-seed Britain Longmire from Cal Poly, 11-6, in the consolation semi-finals while 133-weight class wrestler Ares Carpio dropped his match to fourth-seed Drew Van Anrooy of Oregon State, 18-3.**

SESSION I RECAP

Top-seeded Jake Meredith came out with energy against Cal Poly's JT Goodwin, immediately scoring two points to get things started. Meredith would ultimately dominate (12-0), scoring a major decision and getting the first points on the board for the Sun Devils.*

Meredith continued on to the semi-final round where he would take on Stanford's Michael Sojka. The first two periods were scoreless until an escape by Meredith led to a takedown by the Sun Devil. Meredith took the match, 5-0, advancing to the finals.

After receiving a bye in the first round, top-seeded Blake Stauffer also secured a finals spot in the 174-weight class after the 4-2 win over Cody Weishoff of Oregon State.* In addition to advancing to the finals round, the win clinched Stauffer a spot in the NCAA Championships.*

Kevin Radford also advanced to the final round after his defeat over Sean Dougherty of Cal Poly. Radford led 5-0 after a pair of takedowns and an escape before the end of the first period. Radford would ultimately take the victory, 13-3, earning a much-needed major decision for the Sun Devils.

Heavyweight competitor Levi Cooper defeated Sammy Cervantes of CSU Bakersfield, 6-0, after three takedowns by the senior heading into the third period.

Cooper then faced Boise State's JT Felix for one of the most exciting rounds of session one. Cooper and Felix were neck-and-neck tied at 2-2 at the end of regulation after a Cooper escape, forcing them into the tournament's first OT match. In a dramatic turn of events, Felix sacrificed a point by choosing neutral but Cooper was promptly called with a stalling call to even the score at 3-3.*

Felix was able to score a takedown with ten seconds left, sealing the 5-3 upset victory while dropping Cooper down to the consolation round.*

Matt Kraus kept things close *early with top-seeded Mike Mangrum of Oregon State, tying the score 2-2 after a quick escape. However, Mangrum responded with a double-leg takedown, so set up an eventual major decision* (2-13) for the Beavers.

Sea turtles can become accidentally entangled in active or discarded fixed fishing gear and other materials. These entanglements may prevent the recovery of endangered and threatened sea turtle populations. In response to high numbers of leatherback sea turtles found entangled in the vertical lines of fixed gear in the Northeast Region, the NOAA Fisheries Service Northeast Region established the Northeast Atlantic Coast Sea Turtle Disentanglement Network (STDN). Formally established in 2002, the STDN is an important component of the National Sea Turtle Stranding and Salvage Network. The STDN works to reduce serious injuries and mortalities caused by entanglements.
Call for emergency response immediately and visually monitor the animal from a distance until you speak with a responder, or they arrive on scene:
NMFS Northeast Region Stranding Hotline at 866-755-NOAA (6622)
Call the US Coast Guard on VHF Ch. 16
In Massachusetts - Provincetown Center for Coastal Studies at 1-800-900-3622
In all other states - Contact your local Stranding Network
When you see an entangled turtle, first disengage your engine and observe the animal from a distance. Collect the following information and relay the details to the emergency responders (phone numbers listed above).

Eagle rescue: a tale of faith and healing
November 6, 2012 at 6:00 pm in Alexandria Echo Press
A walk in the woods last month changed the lives of three Osakis area residents and saved a majestic creature.
On October 23, Ken Johnson was out in the woods near his home preparing for deer hunting season when he looked up and there, only six feet away, a bald eagle sat on a pile of logs.
The bird jumped around, but obviously couldn't fly. Continue Reading

Thousands of Connecticut adults and children – some as young as 10 – struggle with eating disorders with many suffering secretly because the life-threatening psychiatric condition has gone undiagnosed and untreated, experts in the field report.
"We used to see eating disorders start at 13 or 14. Now we frequently see 10- and 11-year olds," said Dr. Diane Mickley, founder and director of the Wilkins Center for Eating Disorders in Greenwich, which has treated females and males for three decades. Mickley is a founder and past president of the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).
"We're concerned that there are many boys and girls flying under the radar who could be struggling with eating disorders that aren't diagnosed or treated," said Craig Brown, a founder and chief executive officer for Center for Discovery, which since 2011 has opened two adolescent residential treatment centers in Fairfield County for youth ages 11 to 17.
"We've been getting calls throughout the years that have progressively involved younger and younger children."
An estimated 30 million Americans have eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder, reports NEDA. In Connecticut, 3.4 percent of the population has an eating disorder with females twice as likely to be afflicted than males, according to statistics cited by the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders.
Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness, reports the National Institute of Mental Health.
In Connecticut, an increasing number of younger teens overall and Hispanic teens in particular engaged in disordered eating between 2009 and 2011, according to the most recent data available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its Youth Risk Behavior Surveys. Disordered eating refers to harmful behaviors – such as restricting your food intake – that could lead to an eating disorder.
Among the Connecticut findings from the CDC:
• Nearly 18 percent of ninth grade girls surveyed in 2011 (compared to 12.2 percent in 2009) indicated they had not eaten for 24 or more hours during the previous 30 days due to weight considerations.
• Food restriction rates were higher for Hispanic teens (11.9 percent) compared to their African American (8.4 percent) and white (8 percent) peers in grades nine through twelve in 2011.
• The rate of food restriction among Hispanic male teens grades nine through twelve was 13.3 percent in 2011, up from 10.1 percent in 2009. Hispanic male teens were more likely to restrict food than Hispanic female teens (10.1 percent) in 2011 – an inverse of national statistics showing females are more likely to engage in disordered eating than males.
"It's a pressing public health issue. These are serious psychiatric disorders that can lead to death," said Rebecca Puhl, deputy director of the Yale Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity.
What Are Eating Disorders?
A combination of biological, psychological and social factors cause eating disorders. Anorexia is characterized by self-starvation and excessive weight loss. People with bulimia have recurring binge-and-purge cycles, consuming large amounts of food, followed by self-induced vomiting, over-exercising or the use of laxatives. People with binge eating disorder (the most prevalent type of eating disorder) eat very large amounts of food, but they do not engage in purging behaviors.
Eating disorders can lead to serious medical consequences, including abnormally low heart rate and blood pressure, osteoporosis, kidney failure, hair loss, gastric ruptures, tooth decay, loss of menstrual cycles and death. Treatment options can range from inpatient care and residential programs to partial hospitalization programs and intensive outpatient services with a team of physicians, psychiatrists, therapists, nutritionists and others. Many people with eating disorders have additional substance abuse or psychiatric conditions, including alcoholism, depression or self-injury behaviors.
"You die looking beautiful," said Natalie Hoeffel, site director of the Renfrew Center of Connecticut in Old Greenwich, referring to the unseen internal bodily damage. "People see a good-looking young woman who looks like a model. Her family says she's healthy because she exercises three hours a day and swims and plays lacrosse. But they don't understand that she is going to drop dead on the field if we don't get her into treatment."
"Perfect Storm" Fuels Disorders
While definitive answers remain elusive, experts point to a "perfect storm" of factors that may be contributing to the growing number of youth with disordered eating – relentless pressure from trusted adults to excel academically and athletically, misguided attempts by society to fight obesity, and the barrage of social media messages glorifying thinness.
"It's tougher to be a kid these days. It's really stressful," said Jennifer Henretty, director of outcomes and research for Center for Discovery. "But it's not easy being a parent, either. Society gives us messages that we should push our children to be well-rounded and top achievers. But many of these factors may be setting up children to be at an increased risk for eating disorders."
The focus on body mass index (BMI) – an indicator of fat based on height and weight – doesn't help matters. "Medical providers focus on keeping people's weight under control without thinking about quality of life issues and someone's natural body type," said Margo Maine, of West Hartford's Maine & Weinstein Specialty Group and a founder and past-president of NEDA.

Deceased driver originally from Mary's Harbour
The 33-year old driver of a Dodge Ram pick-up truck who was killed after his vehicle left Highway 510 over the weekend was originally from Labrador.
"The man was originally from Mary's Harbour, and he has been working in Labrador for the last year or so, living with a family member," S/Sgt. Don Roberts told The Labradorian this morning.
"But he had been living in British Columbia for several years."
The crash — which occurred just before noon on Aug. 9, approximately 120 kilometres east of the Churchill River bridge — also seriously injured the driver's 34-year old passenger. Both men were thrown from the vehicle. The passenger was flown to the Labrador Health Centre in serious condition. His status is not known at this time.
Rogers explained the scene of the accident has since been cleared, and the truck involved has been removed.
"Our traffic analyst is still conducting an investigation to determine what happened," said Rogers.
"We're still trying to determine if alcohol or speed were factors in the accident, as well as whether or not seatbelts were used."
Names of the victims have not yet been released.
Members of the Happy Valley-Goose Bay RCMP are still on the scene of a fatal motor vehicle accident on the Trans Labrador Highway.
The accident occured yesterday, Aug. 9, approximately 120 kilometres east of the Churchill River bridge on Highway 510 at 11:40 a.m. Labrador time.
"It was a single-vehicle accident, with one fatality and one person injured," S/Sgt. Don Rogers told The Labradorian at 9:15 p.m. this evening.
The injured person was transported via medevac by helicopter to hospital in Happy Valley-Goose Bay with what is described as serious — but non-life threatening — injuries.
Rogers also noted the deceased in this case was not from Newfoundland and Labrador.
"The persons involved appear to be from out of the area," he said. "But until next of kin are notified, we are not releasing further details on the home province or the name of the deceased."
Rogers said early investigation appears to indicate the 33-year old driver lost control of his 2007 Dodge pick-up while negotiating a turn in the road. Both he and his 34-year old passenger were ejected from the vehicle as the truck rolled serval times.
"We're still trying to determine if alcohol or speed were factors in the accident, as well as whether or not seatbelts were used," said Rogers.
He said it appears the driver was killed instantly.
Rogers said travelers who came across the accident scene rendered aid as best they could and contacted emergency services.
"I would like to extend condolences to the family of the deceased and thank those who rendered aid on the scene," he said.
Rogers added a traffic analyst from the island is enroute to Labrador to help determine the cause of the accident.
"Our members will remain on the scene into (today, Aug. 10) for sure," he said.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
Sigh... Just as impossible as every single other Contra out there, but they're still addicting and fun because you constantly feel like you could beat this game but you just need to practice more. Nope... It's just impossible. Did anyone notice this is the 4th installment? The 3rd installment was on SNES and it seemed to have way more crazy antics and ridiculous fun. Did any else notice that this game devolved from the path it was taking?

Residency Overview
Residency Overview
Message from the Chief Residents
Jefferson is a wonderful place to train. Due to our training, we feel extremely competent in our skills, knowledge, and ability to manage complex patients. This confidence prepares us well for competitive fellowships; many of our residents have decided to pursue fellowships and have matched at prestigious programs across the country (see below). Admittedly, life as a resident anywhere can be stressful and our normal workday goes from 6:30am to 5pm with much variation. However, Jefferson is cognizant of its residents' mental health and quality of life so provides first year residents with the opportunity to discuss issues that come up at work through stress management conferences throughout the year. Aside from these structured sessions, Jefferson's community is also a great asset in making residency less stressful. There is a great sense of camaraderie amongst residents and we often help each other out with pre-ops consults and difficult cases. Overall, we have been very pleased with our training at Jefferson and welcome you to email email@example.com with any questions.
Anna Irwin and Madeel Abdullah, Chief residents 2014
Clinical Training at Jefferson
Jefferson residency training is well-rounded due to the wide variety of cases performed at Jefferson University Hospital and affiliated institutions. The ENT, Orthopedics, and Neurosurgery departments at Jefferson perform some of the largest volume of cases in our region, which makes for lots of opportunities for regional and other anesthesia modalities. Additionally, residents rotate at the adjacent Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience (JHN). JHN is a free-standing neurology and neurosurgery hospital that perform a large number of craniotomies, aneurysm clippings and coilings, as well as intra-arterial chemotherapy for children with ocular tumors.
Residency Education
At Jefferson, your education is a priority. Residents get dedicated time for education due to Jefferson's large CRNA program. We have one of the most comprehensive didactic programs, with lectures on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and a board review session on Friday morning. In addition, we have several mock oral board sessions throughout the year. Our residents publish and present at national anesthesiology meetings including ASA, SOAP, and PSA. (See our presentation at the most recent ASA national meeting.)
Some of our residents and faculty choose to bring their clinical expertise abroad by volunteering in mission trips. Click here for a list of recent trips.
Another highlight of working at Jefferson is our location. We are situated in one of the most vibrant parts of downtown Philadelphia, blocks away from the Liberty Bell and many national historic sites. Many residents and faculty live within walking distance of Jefferson, which allow us to have weekly gatherings and enjoy some of the top-notch restaurants in the area.
It is an exciting time to train at Thomas Jefferson University; we have recently been named one of the nation's best hospitals by US News report. Our anesthesiology residents receive some of the best clinical training and didactic education and we hope that you will visit us to see for yourselves.
Medical Student Rotation
As medical students rotating with us, you will be assigned to work with one resident each week. During that week you will pre-op patients, work on technical skills, and learn the fundamentals of anesthesiology. We will also provide a reading packet covering most of the basic anesthesia knowledge. Technical skills, such as IV placement, mask ventilation, and intubation will also be taught each month during a session in a state-of-the-art simulation lab. For third year medical students, there will also be a short exam to complete the rotation.
