The Environmental Performance of Tall Buildings
By Joana Carla Soares Goncalves

Routledge – 2010 – 400 pages
Routledge – 2010 – 400 pages
Tall buildings represent one of the most energy-intensive architectural typologies, while at the same time offering the high density work and living conditions that many believe will an important constituent of future sustainable communities. How, then, can their environmental impact be lessened?
This insightful book takes in:
Not simply another showcase for future utopian designs and ideals, the information presented here is based on hard research from operating buildings. Highly illustrated and combining analysis with solid detail for practice, this is essential reading for architects, building engineers, design consultants, retrofitters and urban planners interested in or working with tall buildings, and researchers/students in these disciplines.
Tall buildings are not only attractive due to their architectural design but they are here to stay. They 'have been a response and a consequence of economic and industry change' as stated by the author of the book. As economies grow they will become more numerous and the importance of a good environmental performance will increase. This book tells us how to go about it. Jose Goldemberg, Professor and former Rector of the University of Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil, and Time Magazine 'Hero of the Environment'
As well as being a thorough and beautifully illustrated review of tall buildings around the world, this book enquires into the balance between architectural, economic and climatic factors that influence their design. Its strength is that it challenges claims made about the environmental performance of tall buildings, and opens up questions about their actual performance in use, rather than results based on computer simulations. Similarly, the 'double skin', often promoted as a universal solution, is also viewed with a critical eye. The growth of tall buildings seems to be inevitable, and for those concerned with their sustainability, this comprehensive book is essential reading. Nick V. Baker, The Martin Centre, Department of Architecture, University of Cambridge
This excellent book is a virtual encyclopaedia of concerns, knowledge and environmental strategy relating to the design of the high rise building. Overview, analysis, clear environmental design approaches and a plethora of key exemplar buildings across the world make this book essential reading for architects of a high rise future. Mike Davis, Director, Rogers Stirk Harbour and Partners, UK
…this book is, without doubt, produced by experts and will be a valuable addition to the body of knowledge supporting this important aspect of our industry. Dave Pythian BA MSc FBEng MRICS, Building Engineer

About POGO's Federal Contractor Misconduct Database (FCMD)
The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Here in a special performance for Councilman Mosca are <Iett to t and Donna Olson. The Oyster Bay Town Board has released details on action it took earlier (last week) in which it approved a change of zone from Residence D to E-l Apartment House District to permit construction of the first condominium complex in the Town of Oyster Bay. The condonimium complex of 137 units will be constructed on a 11.39 acre site located on the south side of Old Country Road, Plainview., approximately i,'i* feet east of Plainview Road. "Innovative restrictive con-venants worked out between the Town, the developer and nearby - property owners will insure the orderly development of the site while- — proteeting'- -adjat:ent; properties," according to Town Attorney John Conroy. The Board's action provides that the property shall be developed and improved only in accordance wi.UL_-thfi Cotu, dominium Act of the Real Property Law of New York State and shall he-iimited*ta^*~units per acre, of which 57 shall be two-bedroom town houses (1,624 square feet maximum) and 80 shall be one-bedroom garden apartments (1,100 square feet maximum). No additional building can follow the initial construction to provide additional rooms nor can basement areas be used for living space. Basically the property development shall comply with the Town's Building and Zoning ^ede-fbr-^'l-ApallmienC "HSusr ~ District except that the maximum number of dwelling units shall not exceed 1.2 per acre (E-l permits 16 per acre) and the interior street may not be less than 34 feet wide.. •-• Among"the" other conditions agreed to are that the streets and recharge basin on the property shall meet Town and County standards but be maintained, cleaned and kept in good condition by- the- property -owners-without expense of the Town of Oyster Bay. —The collection and disposal for the property of garbage, rubbish and other waste matter shall be the sole responsibility of the unit owners without any obligation on the part of the Town. —A six foot stockade fence will be constructed around the perimeter of the premises and a stone retaining wall will be erected at the tennis courts. —For the purposes of safety will maintain interior traffic signs, prohibit diagonal parking, limit parallel parking to only one side of the street, screen all open parking areas with adequate planting and pay for the installation of a traffic light at the intersection of Old Country Road and Ramsey Road. These restrictions and con-venants can never be modified or terminated unless approved by adjacent property owners whose section, block and lot numbers (Continued on faga 5) ir Blasts Planning Board's "PR" Jim. Weir, coordinator of the Citizens Committee Against Multiple Dwellings in Bethpage has charged that the "nonpartisan Town Planning Advisory Board is using the GOP Public Relations Department to put out misleading information oh the proposed building of apartments in Bethpage. Weir was referring to an article that appeared in the Bethpage Tribune on August 17 Said Weir: "Mr. Ravich is fibbing when he states the public meeting to be held in Bethpage was brought about by Councilman Mosca. Everyone who ever spoke to the councilman came away with the clear impression that Mosca was very annoyed at the idea of a public meeting in Bethpage on the proposed Master Plan. "Herman Slavin, school board president, wanted the meeting at the full Board's request. Mr. Slavin and his Board did not "merely" offer the school building meeting place as a courtesy, as was reported.in the Tribune on August 17. The board felt very strongly that the people should have a meeting", added Weir. i "I deeply resent, the pretense of the Planning Advisory Board that it is free of politics when it permits its name to be used in misleading propoganda releases. A public meeting in Bethpage to discuss master plan effect on the community. does not require courtesy for Mr. Mosca or Mr. Ravich, It is a fundamental birthright in a free society to speak and listen on matters effecting their families and their lives", he charged. Finally, Weir urges all residents to attend the Oyster Bay Planning Advisory Meeting at the Senior High School, Cherry Avenue, this Monday at 8 p.m. "Maybe, just maybe, we can win this one on a permanent basis and keep this community with a suburban character," he concluded.

Levine, Republican candidate for the Assembly in the 10th Assembly District, warned* this week that the illegal importation of heroin and other dangerous drugs poses a major threat to this country. • Levine said it is now evident that international drug traffickers are opening new routes to supply heroin in the United States. He said the heroin is being , sent through/, Burma, Thailand, Laos, .Chip^ and Central and South America among others to offset a crackdown on drug factories us1 the Marsaiiles aMa by the French, government. Levine credited such organizations as the L.I. Restaurant and Caterers Association, which boycotted French wines, with pressuring the French government to move against the narcotics factories., "The boycott is less than a year old and already has reduced the import of French wines approximately 30 per cent," he noted. "This illustrates to me that the American people are willing to cooperate in any effort to stop the flow of drugs into their communities. "An all-out effort must be made by our government, using every available means, to see that the heroin menace that was originally French oriented does not develop m other areas.,!' Levine stated. Levine is a charter member of DEANS (Deputy Educators Against Narcotics) and a member of the Nassau County Youth Board. Displaying outstanding balance in both the Junior and Senior Divisions, the Plainview Community Swim Team finished ;ifielr^aiso9rwttli'an'uTroteAishied'~' 6 - p record. Swimming against the second strongest team '(Levittown Swim Assn.) in the league, Plainview pulled away in the relay events to win easily 206- 152. This win puts Plainview in first place in Division I of the Nassau County Swim Conference. This championship adds to the long list of outstanding wins of Charles Schlegel's Plainview Swimming Team. Some of Schlegel's fine swimmers are: Mike Cody, age 12 yrs.; John Bies, age 16 yrs.; John and Jim Milano age 9 and 13 yrs.; Joel, Don, Jay and Carol Knubowitz, 11, 13, 14 and 9 yrs. ami Jo FiUpatrick, 14 yrs.

Another 34 Companies Pledge to Hire More Military Spouses
May 17, 2012
More private sector companies have pledged to hire military spouses through a year-old government program.
The Defense Department's Military Spouse Employment Partnership will add 34 private sector companies to the 96 current employment partners that have pledged to hire more military spouses.
The partnership began in June 2011 as part of Michelle Obama and Jill Biden's military family service initiative Joining Forces, and 22,000 military spouses have been hired at participating companies since the partnership began, according to a press release.
In a conference call Thursday, Rob Gordon, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for military community and family policy, said the additional companies will be looking to hire for positions that "are quite career-focused" and they will have personnel dedicated to making sure spouses will be hired and reported.

It seems Edward Current, who made the above video, which I got from The Atheist Jew, doesn't like God too much. I'm picking up a hint of sarcasm when Current says that in a world without God their would be no reason to help the poor and natural disasters would not kill thousands at random.
Current's argument against divine benevolence is based on that the fact that a good God would never allow such awful things to occur. Rorschach would likely disagree with that, and so would I, though I can't explain why He does. This brings us back to theodicy, which last year I called the "black hole of theological clarity."

Great Pan!
atch71 from Santa Barbara, CA – Verified Buyer
Have been wavering a long time over spending the money for a pan of this quality. I'm glad I finally jumped in. There is no comparison to the el-cheapo non-sticks. This pan is heavy duty, heats evenly, and is easy to clean. A lifetime warranty makes it way more attractive. I am glad I finally opted to spend the money for high end, quality cookware.

MOMMY Advice Book Giveaway
By Jackie Burrell
Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 10:12 am in Books.
Mother's Day is just around the corner, so this week we're giving away two mom books, including Dale Hrabi's hilarious "The Perfect Baby Handbook: A Guide for Excessively Motivated Parents," complete with tongue-in-cheek suggestions for finding the perfect baby name via the Ikea catalog or Ralph Lauren paint chips. Aspen, Chesapeake, Donegal, all good. Garden Spigot and Toast? Not so much. There's even a section on babyproofing porcupines.
The other book? Betsy Brown Braun's "Just Tell Me What to Say," a guide to what to say when your 2- to 6-year-old whines, uses potty talk, picks his nose, asks about sex, or needs to be told tragic news. The book's a gold mine.
And all you have to do to win the pair is click "comments" and tell us about a time when your child mortified you in public. Yep, we're sharing guilty confessions. Mine? Ah, the time I took my then-4-year-old to a museum where he spotted a nude statue that was missing a key, er, appendage. It had been broken off and let's just say, my little boy's abject horror drew a crowd. OK, your turn! (We'll draw a winner's name on Monday. Congrats, by the way, to Karen L., who won last week's Gumby DVD!)

|Harry A. Myerson
|Connie Francis singles chronology
"Who's Sorry Now?" is a popular song with music written by Ted Snyder and lyrics by Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby. It was published in 1923.[1]
"Who's Sorry Now?" was featured in the Marx Brothers film A Night in Casablanca (1946), directed by Archie Mayo and released by United Artists.
The song has been recorded by a number of artists. Some of the earliest versions were recorded by Irving Kaufman, Marion Harris, and Isham Jones. It was recorded later in 1932 by Billy Banks and His Rhythmakers, featuring Eddie Condon on guitar. It was recorded by Milton Brown and His Musical Brownies January 28, 1935 (Decca Records 5158-B.).[2] The Tiny Hill Orchestra recorded it in 1945 (Mercury Records catalog number 2041). Dean Martin recorded his rendition of the song in a 1950. Another one of those was an August 20, 1951 recording by Jerry Gray and his orchestra (Decca Records catalog number 27868[3]). Johnnie Ray recorded his version in 1956 for the Columbia Records label. It reached number 17 in the UK Singles Chart in February 1956.[4]
The song was recorded in 1957 by Connie Francis, and since then the song has become closely identified with her due to the immense popularity of her version which was her breakout hit. Francis' father had pestered her to record "Who's Sorry Now" being adamant that the song would be a rock and roll smash hit. Francis did not share this enthusiasm but when an October 1957 recording session - scheduled to be Francis' last as she had scored no hits - wrapped early the singer used the leftover studio time to record "Who's Sorry Now" as a goodwill gesture to her father.[5] Breaking on January 1, 1958 - mainly on account of Dick Clark's championing of "Who's Sorry Now" on American Bandstand - the track rose to number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 that spring, with eventual US sales totaling one million units. In the UK, "Who's Sorry Now" was number 1 for six weeks in May and June 1958.[6]
Nat King Cole included his interpretation of this song on his 1957 Capitol Records album Just One of Those Things backed by Billy May's big band.
Ella Fitzgerald included this song on her 1960 Verve release Let No Man Write My Epitaph, accompanied only by pianist Paul Smith.
Marie Osmond's third studio album, released in 1975, featured a remake of "Who's Sorry Now" as it s title cut; this version reached number 40 on the Billboard Hot 100 also ranking on Billboard's C&W chart and Easy Listening chart at respectively number 29 and 21.
Lyn Paul had a 1974 single release of "Who's Sorry Now" which approached the UK Top 50 that October but stalled at number 54.
Leland Palmer, Ann Reinking and Erzsebet Foldi perform the song in the film All That Jazz (1979).
Harry Connick, Jr. recorded it as a bonus track for his 2009 album Your Songs.
Clay Aiken recorded the song as a bonus track for his 2010 album Tried and True.
The lyrics of most popular versions are:
Who's sorry now, who's sorry now /
Whose heart is achin' for breakin' each vow /
Who's sad and blue, who's cryin' too /
Just like I cried over you /
Right to the end just like a friend /
I tried to warn you somehow /
You had your way, now you must pay /
I'm glad that you're sorry now /
Right to the end just like a friend /
I tried to warn you somehow /
You had your way, now you must pay /
I'm glad that you're sorry now
Court case[edit]
This song was the subject of litigation in the 1985 U.S. Supreme Court case Mills Music v. Snyder, 469 U.S. 153.[citation needed]

Working under the auspices of Engineers Without Borders (EWB), the NJIT group has made four visits to Milot, Haiti, to date, and are planning one last visit in October.
"The idea is to make the people self-sufficient, "said EWB President Paul Rodriguez, who will be a senior at NJIT. "When we finish this project, 25 bio-sand filters will have been installed in 21 homes, two churches and two schools. We will have set up a filter production center and worked side-by-side with a dozen students now capable of building and installing more units."Some 30,000 people live in the town and ideally there eventually will be 3,500 units, which the group hopes the people will be able to build themselves. Rodriguez, of Harrison, is a McNair Scholar.
The idea for this project germinated several years back, when a physician working with Doctors Without Borders in Milot kept seeing people getting ill from the water. He explained the problem to his friend, NJIT civil engineering professor Jay Meegoda, of Millburn, a water expert. The comment inspired Meegoda to start an NJIT chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Students and others flocked to the first meeting.
"I've always had a great ambition to help others and work for a cause," said Rodriguez. "I am very proud of my work with EWB and the positive impact our project can have on Milot. The work has brought meaning to my life. But it was thanks to NJIT that I found the environmentalist and humanitarian within me. If it wasn't for these experiences, I would have never uncovered and pursued this newfound passion."
Among the most active participants: past EWB President Bryce Anzelmo, of Lincoln Park, who will graduate from NJIT next month to start a graduate engineering program at Columbia University; Kate Boardman, of New Providence, a senior, working this summer as a co-operative student at General Electric, Schenectady, NY; NJIT University Registrar Joseph Thompson, of Summit; and Allyn Luke, manager of the concrete laboratory for NJIT's Newark College of Engineering.
"I didn't go on that first trip," said Rodriguez, "but the most surprising news was that no one in Milot could understand that they had a water problem." To convince the villagers otherwise, the students took water samples from homes and wells throughout the town. "The results showed, that the water was full of bacteria," Rodriguez said.
Explaining this to the locals was a problem. This is a town in which women still carry water back to their families from a nearly river. Most people speak only Creole and few are educated. Communicating simple information, let alone an engineering report, seemed impossible. Luckily, a local physician at a nearby hospital (not the professor's friend) and a local priest stepped in. Together the two presented the data in a manner that made sense to the people. The project was born.
The students returned to Newark to research the best filter. They settled on a design for a four-foot high square, hollow concrete box that local people could eventually build for themselves. The NJIT students built the first few units, and then taught the process to a group of young men from Milot who were technology students.
Through a series of fund-raising events, the villagers raised $125,500 to subsidize, in part, the cost of the first 25 units. Although each unit cost $40, the NJIT students sold the units for only $5 each.
A bio-sand filter works by arranging a combination of gravel and sand in a vertical cylinder so that as water is poured into it, more than 95 percent of the pathogens are eliminated.
One cycle produces five gallons of water, which can be accessed through a spout in the concrete filter.
"This effort is not the first one to bring clean water to this tiny, poor village," said Rodriguez. But he and the others at NJIT hope it will be successful enough to be the last.
"We designed this project to enable the people to build the filters themselves and monitor their own water supply. We will leave them with a talented pool of local workers and a better understanding of what it means to have clean water and why clean water matters."

You may find this somewhat interesting.
I know there are many people out there that find anything above 4.8" to be somewhat intrusive. But, only two people I know have actually made a comment that they like one handed operation. Believe it or not, they were both under 20 yrs old and both are known for texting and driving. Hmmmmm......
John B.
Agreed. The whole argument about using a phone one handed is getting pretty tiresome. I think most people use two hands with almost any phone except an old style flip.

The Search for Mr. Adequate
Last year, I attended a "Renaissance Weekend" (these are private retreats for the accomplished leaders, and not Renaissance Festivals). One of the people I met was Susan Silver. She is special. In addition to being a wonderful human being, she's had a successful TV writing career amongst her many accolades. But these days, Susan has been a bit "goal-less." I asked her to write some thoughts on the topic. Take it away, Susan.
I, who had been a super achiever (television writer with lots of credits like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bob Newhart, and Maude) had recently been taking it easy. Ok, I became a lazzzzzyyyyy girl. But you can only lie in bed reading and daydreaming so much! But how to get oneself up and going in some direction? That's what I needed to know.
Goal-Free Living was the answer – it freed me to get up! I had been focusing so hard on having to find one thing that I must do now to match old success, that I did zero. When Steve explained, and I read his book, it made a lot of sense. I chose some "aspirations" – like getting out of bed – and yes, I accomplished them! I am having a lot more fun these days and am really guilt free too. That's sometimes hard for a Jewish girl, but I've done it!!
Last week Steve came to New York City and we went to lunch. He then generously offered me a "coaching session" so that I could continue the journey out of the house. Lo and behold, in one hour he had given me so many ideas that I am now the Energizer Bunny.
Here was one of his simple, yet out of the box (or in my case, out of the bedroom) ideas: I said I'd just discovered coffee as a really good way to get going in the morning. So he suggested that it would be great to combine this with one of my "aspirations" – finding Mr. "More than Adequate." Now, instead of brewing my own cup, I go out to a coffee shop once in a while and take a note pad to interview men. This provides great material for my column. And who knows, maybe I will even meet Mr. "The One." It was so simple. Why didn't I think of it myself?
He also asked what I am passionate about. I realized I've found myself a Presidential candidate to be excited about, for the first time in years. So I signed up for Barack Obama's campaign.
In one week I've gone from rarely leaving the house to being one busy girl! I'm being driven by passion (and caffeine) rather than goals. Thanks Steve!

They say good things come in pairs right? Whether they say it or not, that's exactly what's up at Arnette with the introduction of two new styles, the Dropout and the Witch Doctor. Using Fuzzy tech that "encase Arnette's crystal clear lenses inside satiny-soft frames for pure sunglass awesomeness," and Inked tech for "top-secret liquid dispersal process to make each one unique," these frames pull out all the stops for style and also use Arnette's A.C.E.S. ( Arnette Creative Exchange System) that lets you mix and match the arms with other models like the Moolah and Dibs. All that is a long way to say that these are fire! Check out complete looks after the jump.
The third and final episode of Arnette's 'Multiple Personality Disorder' series, 'The Grind' is now live. Chippa Wilson, Mason Ho and Zeke Lau trade off grinding left tubes, while not far away Nathan Fletcher pulls into some sizable waves of his own.
Arnette has released "Multiple Personality Disorder" a web video series featuring the global athletes from the Arnette surf team, including Josh Kerr, Mason Ho, Chippa Wilson, Freddy Patacchia, Ford Archbold, Nathan Fletcher, and Ezekiel Lau. Peep how the crew does it in and out of the water as they travel through Nicaragua, Mexico and Samoa.
Our amigos over at Arnette are getting ready to celebrate their 20th year in the game and we couldn't be more stoked for them. To commemorate this achievement they are reissuing a classic frame called the Catfish. Peep the retro inspired logo on the Havana colorway above and expect four more colors to drop in November. These shades will release in limited numbers worldwide so don't sleep on grabbing a pair. More looks after the jump.
Arnette has just released a new frame called The Bacon, an aviator in six colors designed to get you out of a speeding ticket due to its pleasurable effect on all ranks of highway patrol. See the rest of the colors after the jump.

Lagos — Osaro Eghobamien, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), at the weekend chided critics of the non-interest banking framework (Islamic banking), insisting that their objections result more from a lack of understanding of what the banking product is really about.
Eghobamien, noted that Islamic banking "is just a process by which the bank participates in the profits that is made, and that is how the bank makes its profit."
Now, he noted in an exclusive chat with Daily Independent, that "the CBN wants to regulate that process and you say that you are worried about that. I think that perhaps the problem stems more from a lack of education about what it really means. All it meant is that a bank can provide its product."
He added that it would have been worse, if the CBN refused to regulate it, adding:
"You see, all the leading banks in the world provide Islamic banking desk. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. But maybe we need education. I have heard some inflammatory comments from very senior leaders in Nigeria. It just demonstrated ignorance because they need to ask what it entails. It is only a product that is being delivered by a bank and you have a choice."
Speaking further, Eghobamien said: "If you go into a bank and say I want a loan and the bank says this is the interest I want to charge and you go into another bank that says I will not charge you interest, I will share in the profit, what is wrong with that? I feel very saddened when I hear comments of people who don't understand what is going on and I feel very sorry for the governor of CBN because to be honest, he is expanding the sort of services that are being provided by banks in Nigeria just like in many part of the world and part of the world whose foundations are based on Christianity.
"If somebody who is a Muslim should walk into a bank and says that I want you to give me a loan based on certain principles, how does that turn around for you to say it is an attempt to Islamize Nigeria. I am a Christian but I took time to go and read about it and I understand that there is nothing to do with Islam.
"Yes, there are parts of it which says it should be sanctioned by certain persons in showing that you have gone through the process but that is where it ends. You know it is something that borders me a lot because before I speak about anything, I go and read about it. I don't just speak because the Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. I hope Nigeria does not perish for lack of knowledge."
Meanwhile, Director General of the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission, Mansur Ahmed, on Monday at a meeting with regulators of Nigeria's financial system, urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to release the regulatory framework for the non-interest financing model.
He expressed hope that the Islamic financing would provide opportunities that ICRC can tap in, to help bridge Nigeria its N32 trillion infrastructure deficit across sectors such as transportation, power, water supply, education, housing and health, is beyond what the public sector can afford, hence the need to explore other alternative financing avenues. "The critical imperatives for the successful issuance of Islamic bonds (otherwise known as Sukuk) in Nigeria will include the right regulatory and taxation framework, transparent transaction structure, credit rating, marketing, risk and mitigation measures, appropriate technical capacity and guarantees," he stressed.
Ahmed said Sukuk is particularly well suited for the Public Private Partnership being promoted by the federal government to upscale the nation's level of infrastructure.
"Sukuks are becoming important means of funding large scale investment projects around the world, while for investors; the Sukuk market provides greater potential for diversification into new asset classes. Sukuk has matured into a diversified, internationally accepted instrument to raise corporate finance for acquisitions or working capital purposes, or use in the transportation sector, real estate, infrastructure construction and petrochemical projects in several countries," he explained.
CBN Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, told the gathering that if Sukuk is properly harnessed, it would contribute to the effort of the Ministry of Finance to source funds from international markets and diversify sources of funding for projects critical to national development.
He enjoined relevant government agencies to develop trusts and securities laws that would enhance smooth operations of Sukuk and provide a level playing field for participants in the capital market.

One in five households worldwide will have a broadband connection by the end of this year, according to a new report from Gartner.The analyst firm said that people are persisting with the internet despite the tough economic climate, and that some 422 million households will be wired by the end of 2009. This number is expected to rise to 580 million by the end of 2013."Consumers may be watching their household expenditure, but dropping their broadband connections is not on the top of their agendas as a way to reduce outgoings," said Amanda Sabia, principal research analyst at Gartner."Multiple motivations are conspiring to keep broadband growth strong, such as PCs being more affordable, migration from dial-up, affordably priced broadband subscriptions, ageing populations requiring broadband connectivity, and even as a result of an economic boost from country-specific economic and broadband-specific stimulus plans."The country with the most connected homes is South Korea, where some 86 per cent of all residences are hooked up to the internet. The lowest is Indonesia with just one per cent. However, it is these emerging markets that will contribute most to the predicted growth, according to Gartner.China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Latin America, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa will all see twice as many new connections as their more developed neighbours, the analyst explained. Closer to home, the UK is expected to add another three million connections by 2013.While home users will benefit from better faster connections, the service providers and hardware and equipment manufacturers aligned to the industry will also profit."Equipment manufacturers (modems, routers and PCs) and providers of carrier infrastructure will benefit by having more connections to supply equipment and services," said Sabia."Government, medical and educational institutions alike will have alternative access to their customers via the household broadband connection."

I've tried other marzipan recipes, but I like this one the best. It was a big hit at our Nutcracker production this year.
I made this for my dad, who said it was some of the best marzipan he has ever had. I was a bit nervous about how simple the recipe was, that it had to be missing something important, but it was...
This was very good. I thought it captured the almond flavor of the candy well. One note - I found that if I waited a day or two to eat the candy, it had set up better and was tastier than whe...

I ordered a pair of hubs, disk brakes, and built up a set of 19/17" wheels.
Riding two up, get a custom seat and some type of back rest for the passenger, like a trunk. Goes a long way for comfort. Also, the 19/17 wheels work great on the street.
Yes I will be getting a trunk not only for pileon but I commute daily so I also need a place for my Lunch .
Is there a stainless steel oil filter available for the 990 ? I have one in my KLR and it seemed to work out well - I was thinking about a second set of wheels for street / dirt set up ! I may have to get a price on those .

text: Media Microsoft and Cisco throw down the gauntlet for living room teleconferencing November 11, 2010 1:15 PM Matthew Lynley 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Cisco's Umi teleconferencing camera for home living room use and the Microsoft Kinect motion controller have more in common than you might think. That's because Microsoft is making a play at bringing video conferencing to the living room — and taking on video conferencing titan Cisco — as part of its media package with the newest addition to its Xbox 360 video game console, the Kinect (pictured at left in use by VentureBeat's Dean Takahashi). The Kinect controller features a camera and a microphone array that can detect what someone is saying from pretty much anywhere in the room. The controller allows XBox 360 users to control the console with their voice alone. For example, they can say "Xbox ESPN" to bring up the ESPN channel on their Xbox 360 dashboard. About 40 percent of all time spent using the Xbox 360 is spent doing activities outside of video games, said Dennis Durkin, chief operating officer of Microsoft. That can range from watching Netflix, to accessing Facebook, to using the Kinect controller to chat with friends through Xbox Live. Microsoft's goal with Kinect is to turn the entire Xbox 360 experience — not just the video games — into a social experience, Durkin said. He made the comments at the 18th annual Digital Entertainment conference hosted by BMO Capital Markets today. The Kinect device allows Xbox 360 owners to start video chats with other Kinect users, as well as voice chats with Windows Live users. Cisco's Umi telepresence, in comparison, can make calls to other Umi users as well as any other computer with a webcam. Umi also has a few other bells and whistles, such as the ability to leave voicemail messages and greetings. The camera is also more powerful, and lets users stream their video conferences at higher resolutions. Cisco has been a huge name in enterprise video-conferencing technology and has also won itself a presence in the home networking market with its wireless routers, a market it entered by acquiring Linksys in 2003 and expanded by acquiring set-top maker Scientific Atlanta in 2005. The enterprise giant's push into the consumer space just goes to show how large the consumer market is. But Kinect, which launched last week, has the jump on Umi. Cisco's home teleconferencing device launches next week at Best Buy stores and costs a whopping $600. Umi users also have to pay an additional $25 a month to use the teleconferencing service. Kinect costs only $150 and already ties into the Xbox Live service. Microsoft is making one thing clear — there's only room for one ominous-looking camera device on top of living room televisions.

Education and Work Experience (abridged)
I received the ScB (magna cum laude and with honors) in neuroscience from
in 1999, the MS in mechanical engineering from
in 2003, and the PhD in bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010
Between degrees, I worked as teaching fellow at
and as a design engineer in the technology group at Medtronic Neurological.
In the summer of 2011, I will be joining the faculty of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the
United States Naval Academy.
My research interests, broadly speaking, include: 1) developing and applying machine learning and signal processing techniques to interpret neural signals in detection, prediction, and control applications in brain-computer interfaces; and 2) combining bioelectric theory-based computer modeling with experimentation to develop brain stimulation paradigms for treating epilepsy and other neurological diseases.

Every romance you've ever had felt special in the moment. He was the one; she was different; not at all like your "crazy" ex. But new becomes normal, and sane turns to insane, and soon you're right back where you started: alone. Until Friday night, when bar pickings are slim, and you drunk text your ex, "Babe, come over?"
Or something way less appropriate.

Home > Degree Programs > Full-Time MBA > UB MBA - Academic Options > Accelerated MBA for GME Residents/Fellows
The School of Management and the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences offer an MBA collaborative program for residents and fellows who are in UB Graduate Medical Education-sponsored or affiliated programs. Participants can complete the program in approximately three semesters and will receive an MBA degree at the end of their residency/fellowship training. As the economics of medicine evolve with health care reform, physicians with MBA degrees will be ahead of the curve. The MBA makes sense for newly trained physicians planning to manage small or large groups, for those who have aspirations to be physician executives or leaders, and for anyone who wants to be armed with a tool kit to better understand the increasingly complex dynamics of the business of medicine.
Students must currently be in a residency program within the UB Office of Graduate Medical Education AND separately apply to the School of Management.
** In the stand-alone MBA program 33 credits of MBA electives are required for a total of 60 credits. However, students in this accelerated program are allowed a five-course reduction in light of simultaneously working on the residency.
Students in this Residency/MBA program will participate in a cohort or learning community with a group of full-time MBA students. Therefore, core courses will not be waived. It is strongly recommended that prospective students consult with the School of Management's Graduate Programs Office for specific program timeline and curriculum prior to application. Applicants to the Resident/MBA program are not required to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT) or the GRE, provided that they have previously taken the MCAT.
