Admission to Degree Programs
The degree programs described in this catalog are offered by two schools of Harvard University. The master of science (SM), master of public health (MPH), and the doctor of public health (DrPH) programs are offered by the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), and the admissions information in this section pertains to them. Applicants to these programs can find complete instructions at hsph.harvard.edu/admissions or can contact the Office of Admissions. The HSPH minimum entrance requirements are outlined in the respective department/program sections of this catalog.
The application for PhD programs, offered under the auspices of the Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS), is different from that used by applicants to programs administered by HSPH. Applicants to the PhD programs can access the appropriate application at gsas.harvard.edu/prospective_students/application_instructions_and_information.php.
This section contains information on the following:
- HSPH Application Deadlines
- Application Procedures and Requirements
- Application Review
- Matriculation
- Tuition Deposit and Financial Certification
HSPH Application Deadlines
Applications may be submitted beginning on September 1, 2014.
December 15, 2014, is the deadline for completed applications for HSPH doctoral (DrPH), MPH, the Harvard MPH in Epidemiology, and SM programs except as explained below.
December 15 is also the deadline for applications to the nonresidential SM in health care management (HCM) program for physician and dental executives in the priority admission cycle. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit their applications by November 27, 2015, to allow time for all their credentials to arrive by the December 15 deadline.
Applicants to the MPH program who wish to participate in the Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency must apply by October 15, 2014.
February 15, 2015, is the deadline for completing applications to the SM in HCM for review in a second cycle. Applicants should be aware that this degree program may fill to capacity during the priority admission cycle.
Participants in the Summer Program in Clinical Effectiveness, Summer Session for Public Health Studies, and June Course in Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics who matriculated in the 2014 summer program and wish to apply for degree candidacy must meet the application deadlines outlined above.
Application Procedures and Requirements
Application to the Harvard School of Public Health is made through the centralized Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS). For more information about this process, see hsph.harvard.edu/admissions.
Required Application Materials Include:
- A completed SOPHAS application that includes a résumé and a statement of purpose written by the applicant. The statement should describe the applicant's academic and professional history, area of interest at HSPH, reasons for wanting to enroll in the degree program, and professional or academic career plans upon completion of the program. The SM in health care management, MPH, DrPH, and JD/MPH programs have specific requirements for the statement of purpose. Please visit: hsph.harvard.edu/admissions/application-requirements for details.
- Official transcripts from all colleges, graduate schools, and/or professional schools attended, whether or not the courses taken are relevant to a degree in public health. Applicants must have a distinguished undergraduate record and demonstrate excellent performance in any graduate work undertaken. Applicants who have degree coursework from institutions outside of the United States or Canada must submit a credential evaluation from World Education Services (wes.org/sophas).
- Letters of recommendation from at least three people who are well acquainted with the applicant's academic work and/or professional experience. (Recommendation forms are provided in the SOPHAS application.)
- Official scores of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test. While GRE scores are strongly preferred, some other tests may be substituted in circumstances specified in the application. The requirement for scores from a standardized test will not be waived on the basis of academic or professional background.
- Official scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if applicable. Applicants (including those who have been U.S. citizens or permanent residents for less than one year) from countries where English is not the language of instruction must submit a score from the TOEFL. Those who have already taken the TOEFL may submit scores that are two years old or less. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam will be accepted if the applicant's score is 7.0 or above.
- A nonrefundable application fee to SOPHAS. (The amount will vary according to the number of schools designated to receive the application.) HSPH does not charge an application fee.
- Applicants may apply to only one degree program and must satisfy the requirements of the department or program to which they are applying. Those applying to the JD/MPH joint degree program with Harvard Law School, the MD/MPH combined degree program with Harvard Medical School or another medical school, or the joint degree program with Simmons College must satisfy the entrance requirements for both schools. Applicants to SD and PhD programs must demonstrate the ability to undertake original research. All prospective students must apply for either full- or part-time status. Most international students are eligible for full-time study only.
Admission is granted for the summer (for summer programs) or the fall semesters of a particular year (currently September 2015). Students unable to enroll at the specified time may request a deferral, but may be required to reapply.
Application Review
Applicants are notified as soon as possible (electronically) about the status and review decision of their application. The decision of the Committee on Admissions and Degrees is final and is not subject to appeal.
For all HSPH programs, the Committee on Admissions and Degrees considers the academic ability of applicants, the relevance of their previous education and experience, and their overall qualifications for graduate education in public health, including those qualities of character that reflect on an individual's suitability to be a public health professional. In decisions about admission and financial aid, the Harvard School of Public Health does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, veteran status, or disability. The increased participation of underrepresented groups in public health practice and research is essential to the advancement of health, and the school is committed to expanding the diversity of its faculty, staff, and student body.
As a matter of policy, students may enroll in only one degree program at a time except for the following approved programs: MD/MPH, JD/MPH, and SM/MSN. Students scheduled to begin a degree program at HSPH in 2015 must show proof of degree conferral for all prior degrees. If an incoming student has not completed the necessary qualifying degree(s) and has not submitted the degree conferral documentation to the Office of Admissions by June 1, 2015, the student will need to request a deferral to begin studies at HSPH in 2016. In the case of extenuating circumstances, students should contact the Office of Admissions by email at firstname.lastname@example.com, without delay.
Tuition Deposit and Financial Certification
Applicants who are granted admission must submit a nonrefundable $525 deposit when confirming acceptance of the offer of admission. Accepted applicants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must demonstrate that sufficient funds are available in U.S. currency to pay the costs (tuition, fees, and living expenses) of the full period of their academic program. The student's name must be listed as the account holder or joint account holder. The account must be in U.S. currency and held in a bank that has a branch in the United States. International students supported by personal, family, or sponsor's funds not paid directly to Harvard University are required to deposit and retain adequate funds in a Boston-area bank in an account bearing the student's name. Students bringing their families to the United States must transfer and certify adequate funds for their support as well. Please refer to the student expense budget for an estimate of living expenses in the Boston area.)

Observers seem to have had little or no warning that China's Chang'e 1 lunar orbiter was going to crash into the Moon on Sunday, meaning little scientific data was likely gleaned from the impact. The lack of information has been a hallmark of the mission, which launched in October 2007.
Chang'e 1 crashed into the Moon on Sunday in a planned decommissioning, according to the state news agency Xinhua.
In doing so, Chang'e 1 joined the ranks of the European Space Agency's SMART-1, which was sent crashing into the Moon in 2006 after the craft began running low on fuel. The crash was an opportunity to study the physics of lunar impacts, a rare occasion when something of known mass and velocity ploughed into the lunar surface.
SMART-1's demise was well documented. Plans were broadcast in advance, and ground telescopes were able to catch the flash of its impact and monitor the spread of debris.
But Chang'e was probably not so well observed. Unlike SMART-1, which crashed in nighttime conditions so the glare of light from the Moon's sunlit side would not overwhelm observations, Chang'e seems to have crashed on the day side, Sky & Telescope's Kelly Beatty notes.
That may be in part because it's hard to orchestrate a crash so that it occurs where it can be observed, says SMART-1's project scientist Bernard Foing. "It is indeed very difficult to ensure an accurate time and place for a crash," he told New Scientist. "It took operations engineers very delicate manoeuvres to ensure it."
Impact site
Engineering challenges aside, the international community seems to have had little or no warning of the impending smash.
"I do not know of any plans that were prepared to observe the plume when Chang'e impacted," says Carle Pieters of Brown University, a member of both Japan's Kaguya and India's Chandrayaan-1 missions, which are now orbiting the Moon.
Those orbiters will undoubtedly observe the impact site when viewing conditions are favourable, she says, adding: "Since all spacecraft currently orbiting the Moon will eventually crash into the surface, I hope the next several [impact] events will be planned to allow a broad range of observers."
Without observations of the crash itself, lunar researchers will have to settle for results from Chang'e's 16-month mission itself, although it is unclear what will emerge.
First image
The last big news from the mission came in November 2007, when researchers released the probe's first image.
Initial reports suggested Chang'e had found a new crater not seen in images taken in 1994 by the US orbiter Clementine. But later analysis showed the crater was actually an artifact of the way Chang'e's lunar mosaic was assembled.
Since then, little has been heard from the mission. "After that was resolved, it was sort of like they picked up their ball and went home," says Paul Spudis, a planetary geologist with the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas. Spudis has worked on instruments for both Chandrayaan-1 and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which is set to launch in May 2009.
'Fairly guarded'
"They've been fairly guarded in the release of information," agrees planetary scientist Bradley Jolliff of Washington University in St Louis.
But Jolliff, who is working on setting up a computing centre with China's Shandong University that might eventually be used to share planetary data internationally, says that may change.
"We're really hoping, as the Chinese become comfortable with their own capabilities and with the open-access data sharing that has been established by many other countries, that they'll be moving down that pathway, and I'm sure they will," Jolliff says.
Global image
Those first steps might not be so far off. A small contingent of Chang'e 1 researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences seems to be on track for presenting at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (LPSC) in Texas later this month.
One team plans to present a new global image of the Moon, first released by China's space agency in November 2008. According to the LPSC abstracts, the probe's stereo camera, one of the orbiter's "most important payloads", seems to be capable of taking images of the Moon with 120-metre resolution.
For comparison, NASA has used the Goldstone radar dish in California to create images of the Moon's south pole with 20-metre accuracy. Kaguya's Terrain Camera has a spatial resolution of just 10 metres.
Soil depth
Chang'e's relatively low-resolution images are not likely to yield new results. But the orbiter also carries a radiometer that operates at microwave frequencies. Although it's not yet clear whether the instrument worked or exactly what its capabilities were, it might produce a global map of the depth of the lunar regolith, the soil-like layer of the Moon's surface, which was created by countless impacts, Jolliff says.
Many estimates of regolith depth are made on a local basis only, by examining ejected material surrounding impact craters, says Jolliff.
And if the news reports are right, Chang'e 1 is just a fledgling step in a larger robotic exploration mission. According to Xinhua, China plans to send more probes to the Moon, including a 2017 rover that will return samples of the Moon to Earth.

Hoosiers Excel in Classroom During Fall Semester
Jan. 9, 2009
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana women's soccer team had a stellar fall in the classroom, as the Hoosiers posted a team grade-point average of 3.41 for the semester. Twenty-four of the team's 27 players posted a GPA of 3.0 or higher during the fall of 2008.
"I'm very proud that our team performed so well in the classroom this fall," head coach Mick Lyon said. "IU Women's Soccer has traditionally excelled off the field as well as on it, but this might be the best academic semester we've had in my seven years here."
The fall 2008 success comes on the heels of a spring 2008 semester in which 18 of 24 Hoosiers posted a GPA over 3.0. In addition to a strong semester GPA, IU's cumulative GPA as a team rose to 3.26. Twenty out of 27 Hoosiers have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Leading the way are the Hoosiers' 12 Academic All-Big Ten nominees - Kristin Arnold, Jessica Boots, Leigh Anne Cummings, Aleah DeGeneres, Darby Hannon, Liz Holby, Christie Kotynski, Chloe McKay, Taylor Miller, Jocelyn Moses, Natalie O'Bryan and Susan Swepston. Players eligible for Academic All-Big Ten mention are those with a cumulative GPA over 3.0 who are in their third semester at the school.

California Quarries and the Future of Mining
Posted in blogs, brandy, California, environmental, Tailings, Waste Rock, tagged California, conference, desalination, makeup water, quarry on November 21, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Another day of webcasts on mining and yet another long argument over the future of mining. We opined in the webcast that filter-pressed tailings is the only way to go with the future of tailings: if a mine cannot afford the costs, they should not begin, for they will not be able to end. Unless they can afford an embankment dam of compacted, durable rock and closure to a site that becomes a place where the rich may recreate like at Cannon Mine that is now a riding stable for the rich.

Virginia Tech, then Reno, then South Dakota as the winners of the SME students competition
Posted in feasibilty studies, North America, tagged California, competition, mining, quarry, Salt Lake City, SME, South Dakota School of Mines, Virginia Tech on February 24, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The rowdiest and most lively room this evening at the SME in Salt Lake City was the Student Mixer in the Hilton Hotel. The future leaders of the mining industry gathered to drink–and the drink lines were long–and talk. I wondered in as part of a small role CostMine had in supplying the students with cost data to solve the competition problem set them as sponsored by a long list of quarry operators and suppliers. As best I can tell the fifteen competing mining schools were asked to plan the opening of a new quarry in California–and we all know what an mining-unfriendly state that is.
The winning school was Virginia Tech and we celebrate for their success–they deserve all the good they can get. Second was Reno and third South Dakota School of Mines. I am told this is the first time they entered the competition and they did extra-ordinarily well.

The Hallowell Granite Works supplied granite for buildings as far away as New York and Texas. It employed more than 250 people in the quarries.
The first few years of the 20th century were the company's busiest; business started to slack off about 1908, partly because more buildings were built with concrete.

The SP891 can deliver 720p, 1080i and 1080p / 60 / 50 / 24 high definition signals from a satellite, a cable box and Blu-ray discs. And those images will stay in pristine digital form (no analog conversion required) along the path between the device and the SP891 thanks to its HDMI 1.3 input.
The part that forms the picture in this projector is a Texas Instruments DLP DMD panel. It features an innovation that Texas Instruments it calls BrilliantColor and you'll call it amazing. Unlike other technologies such as LCD that use just three primary colors to produce the image, DLP Technology with BrilliantColor uses up to six separate colors.
Color accuracy is paramount to a quality image. BrilliantColor not only improves color accuracy, it brightens secondary colors as well. This combination produces a new level of color performance that increases the brightness of the colors by up to 50% over DLP projectors without BrilliantColor for accurate, true-to-life images.
The SP891's Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) by IDT makes even 480i signals look almost as good as high definition while the digital comb filter further enhances color purity. Other features that contribute to the clean, smooth image rendition are true pixel-by-pixel-processing and motion-adaptive de-interlacing.
This projector also has a set of four picture modes for A/V inputs. For each type there are inputs specialized for brightly lit rooms, presentations, viewing photos, standard and watching movies plus two "user" modes that allow you to save your own picture preferences.
The SP891 not only projects stunning pictures, it can do so all over the world with its 100 - 240 V AC, 50 / 60 Hz auto switching power supply and its ability to handle NTSC, PAL, and SECAM video signals. Its OSD (on-screen display) offers your choice of 16 languages. It's even got a high-altitude mode.
The extensive connectivity includes HDMI, Component and S-video as well as a PC in and monitor out. With all of those possible inputs you may find that you have multiple sources plugged into your SP891 at the same time. With Auto Input Search activated it will automatically switch to the one that's got the live signal. An RJ-45 connector allows remote control of the projector over a network as well as email alerts, maintenance scheduling and monitoring.
Best of all, your SP891 is energy efficient. It uses only 520 watts to project its super bright image and in standby mode it draws only a single watt. A security password and panel key lock ensures against unauthorized use. Auto off shuts down the projector after a proscribed period of non-use and its quick-cool function allows you to pack up and move on to your next appointment.
4,500 ANSI Lumens at up to a 3,000:1 Contrast Ratio
If you're looking for brightness and resolution, the BenQ SP891 makes an ideal choice. This Full HD projector offers super bright 4,500 ANSI lumens high brightness and up to a 3,000:1 high contrast ratio.
Premium Full HD 1080p Resolution
With the BenQ SP891, business presentations, classroom lectures or watching Blu-ray discs in your media room will never look the same—even in large venues like conference halls, auditoriums and large home theaters. The SP890 supports multiple video formats including 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p—giving you the flexibility to present in the latest video formats with Full HD quality. The BenQ SP891 sets a new standard of video presentation that delivers five times more detail than traditional 480p projectors.
Big Zoom for Extra Projector Installation Flexibility
The SP891's 1.5x big Zoom feature opens up space with an impressively wide range of throw distances. All you have to do is simply place the new projector right where your original ceiling mount is. Without adding projector setting re-construction costs to your budget list, you'll get to save the money for better use.
Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) Image Quality
Sophisticated HQV processing not only renders HD video sources in true 1080p high definition, but enhances standard definition content to new levels of clarity and vibrancy. Lower-resolution video sources such as 480i, whether analog or digital, are automatically converted to produce full HD-like image quality.
Extremely High Contrast Ratio
The combined expertise of BenQ's projector know-how, Texas Instruments' DynamicBlack and Philips' VIDI lamp technology delivers an impressive 3,000:1 contrast ratio for superbly rendered image definition, even in the darkest scenes.
Lens Shift for Extra Room for Minor Miscalculations
Lens shift offers the extra flexibility to overcome any minor miscalculations during projector installation. All you have to do is adjust the switch next to the lens to shift the projected image left or right by 41% or up or down by 125% within the projector housing. With this helpful feature, you'll never have to worry about positioning the projector slightly out of place again.
Texas Instruments BrilliantColor Performance
BenQ's high-speed, 6-segment color wheel delivers the best balance between optimal brightness and color, while BrilliantColor technology boosts mid-tone colors to increase overall brightness to produce a more life-like picture.
VIDI Lighting Technology Adjusts Light More Effectively
BenQ has joined efforts with Philips and Texas Instruments to create VIDI—a sophisticated color enhancement technology which adjusts to the overall brightness level of different scenes. By flexibly controlling the brightness output of the projector lamp in milliseconds, the SP891 gives you the most optimal situational color ratio through three distinguished projection modes. Enjoy the best image projection for all your presentations in any room every time.
True 10-bit Processing for Image Intensity and Rich Gradation of Color
True 10-bit color processing allows the SP891 to distinguish and display more than one billion colors. This results in dramatically greater color precision and a more life-like picture than is possible with 8-bit technology, which produces only 16 million colors.
Independent Color Management Puts You in Control
Your SP891 allows you to independently adjust six different colors. Change one color, and the rest remain as before.
Remote Maintenance with Crestron RoomView
BenQ is proud to introduce Crestron-supported RoomView network service for companies, schools and other organizations. The SP891 is Crestron RoomView-supported to provide IT personnel and projector managers simplified real-time, facility-wide central access and control over a single projector or groups of projectors simultaneously via a single station.

Hi all,
There is a Vim keystroke that I've forgotten that tells Vim to temporarily
suspend all forms of autoformatting --- autoindent, cindent, map!,
abbreviations, replacements, etc.
It's especially useful when you're mouse pasting into vim, in order to avoid
the "staircase effect". It essentially tells vim to take the rest of the
input as verbatim.
Can't remember what the keystroke was and looking for it in the docs is like
looking for a keystroke in a haystack.
Anyone know this keystroke?
The mathematics of physics has become ever more abstract, rather than more
complicated. The mind of God appears to be abstract but not complicated.

April 12th, 2012 #69
Your sketches are really quite good!
The knowledge of anatomy is there and all but I think you're struggling with color quite a bit.
I think you'd be better of just doing b&w paintings right now.
Value-wise the update May 12th of last year is better than some of your more recent stuff. If you don't have to care about colors you will be able to make much more engaging artwork through values.
You can always color a b&w later! Being overwhelmed by doing everything at once (lines, value, color) can often be very frustrating and that doesn't help with improvement very much.
Don't take this the wrong way, you definitely have a good foundation in line and sketching but since value is more important than color IMO you should try to focus on value.

Thanks Xelar 4 this realy usefull kritik . Yes you spotted it well and i see a great agreement with your arguments in using b&w to improve myself. I have to say that I just forgot about all that in the last troublesome months and its great that you remind me .
But i've got a question about color b&w afterwards cause i do not realy know how to do this in a realistic way .My 1st trys from last year (with those Windmill as example) don't seem to be correct .
Maybe you or someone else know a small tutorial/example 4 me ?

On Friday I met a friend for a walk to the River Gardens in Belper with our little ones. On the way we took a back route down some gorgeous cobbled roads, including Long Row, in the sunshine to the park. This was my first visit to the River Gardens (yes, I know, long overdue!) and I loved it, what a treasure! I loved how many families were there enjoying the park and gardens, there was even a toddler activity class taking place on the grass…it was the place to be for mums!
Below are a few photos I took along the way.
We then went for a bite to eat at Nourish at 44 on King Street. New to Belper, Nourish is beautifully presented and has a delicious fresh menu. I'll definitely be back to Belper soon!
Speak soon!

Sally Bercow expressed her frustration after a photograph showing her apparently kissing another man was published by a tabloid newspaper.
She insisted the man was just a friend, that she had done "nothing to be ashamed of" and that the couple's marriage "works for us".
In the photograph, featured on the front page of the Sun, Mrs Bercow is wearing a brunette wig and has her arms wrapped around the man.
It was taken outside a central London nightclub on Saturday but the newspaper said there was no suggestion the pair left together.
Mrs Bercow is no stranger to publicity, appearing as a contestant on Celebrity Big Brother and a spin-off television show.
Her husband has indicated he does not wish to serve more than nine years as Speaker - a role to which he was first elected in 2009.
She denied their marriage was in any trouble.
"Of course I'm still together [with John], I don't need to apologise to John, I've done nothing wrong," she said.
"My marriage is my business. I couldn't give a damn what people think."
Mrs Bercow was made to pay £15,000 to Lord McAlpine last year over her infamous "innocent face" tweet.
She posted the defamatory tweet two days after a Newsnight report last November wrongly implicated the Tory peer in allegations of sex abuse.
Mrs Bercow settled the libel action brought by Lord McAlpine after the High Court found a tweet posted by her was highly defamatory.

I take note of the changes to the restaurant while waiting in line with Leona and Betty. It's pretty much doubled in size, but it's hard to believe that it ever was as small as it used to be, it still looks fairly small and crowded. We get in and order fast, but so does everyone else so there is a short wait before our food starts to arrive.
NO! Sweetened condensed milk is the only way to go with roti tisu! Okay, it may only appeal to the hardened sweet tooths amongst us, but those paper thin slivers of roti, encrusted with butter and sugar crystals become even more amazing when dipped in the super thick, super sticky condensed milk. It just crumbles in your mouth and leaves you with an intense sugar high. I could eat this all day.

A Swedish neo-Nazi leader who organized the theft of the "Arbeit Macht Frei" sign from Auschwitz was transferred to Sweden to serve his three-year prison sentence.
Anders Hogstrom was handed over to Swedish officials on Monday at Krakow Airport, according to reports.
A Polish court last December sentenced Hogstrom, who acted as a middleman between a neo-Nazi buyer and five Polish thieves, to 32 months in prison as part of a plea bargain. Hogstrom faced up to 10 years in prison.
The iron sign, which measures 16 feet across and means "Work makes you free," was stolen from the former Nazi concentration camp on Dec. 18, 2009 and recovered elsewhere in the country 72 hours later. It was found cut into three pieces.
Hogstrom, who was arrested in February 2010 in Stockholm and extradited to Poland in April, founded the National Socialist Front, a Swedish neo-Nazi movement, in 1994.

press release
Advertisements have been placed by the executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates. The deadline for submitting an application is 6 August 2012.
Closing date for applications is 6 August
The Global Fund is seeking applications for the position of Executive Director. Advertisements have been placed by the executive search firm Russell Reynolds Associates, which has been hired to work with the Global Fund Board's Ad-Hoc Nominating Committee.
The deadline for submitting an application is 6 August 2012.
A copy of the text being used for the advertisements can be found on the Global Fund website here.
The text of the advertisement is also available on the website of Russell Reynolds Associates here. There is a link on this site to a "Position Specification" document. This 12-page document provides some background information on the Global Fund, explains the role and the duties of the ED, and describes the "candidate profile" (basically, a statement of qualifications). The Position Specification document also contains information on where applications should be submitted and where requests for more information can be sent.
On the Global Fund website here, there is a link to the Terms of Reference (ToR) for the ED position, which were recently approved by the Board. Most of what is in the ToR for the ED position is contained in the Position Specification document.
Earlier, the Global Fund added three people to the Ad-Hoc Nominating Committee. There are nine positions on the committee, six from Global Fund Board delegations and three from outside the Fund. GFO reported the names of the six Board members in Issue 184. Following consultations and extensive internal discussions, the Global Fund appointed Dr George Alleyne (Barbados), Dr Ursula Eid (Germany) and Dr Milly Katana (Uganda) to fill the three external positions on the committee.
The committee has selected Masaki Noke as Chair and Karlo Boras as Vice-Chair. Both are members of Global Fund Board delegations.
As previously reported, the Global Fund has said that the selection process will produce a short list of up to four persons which will contain at least as many women as men. It is from this short list that the next ED will be selected. The Global Fund plans to make its selection by the time of the Board meeting scheduled for 13-14 November 2012.

Taylor Swift's 'Red' music video released - Watch here
Taylor Swift has released her newest music video, for the song "Red," and it's one of those videos that musicians and bands must love because they take little to no extra work. The entire video is comprised of footage from her current "Red" concert tour, and if it illustrates anything, it's just how big the show is.
In addition to Taylor and her band, there's tons of dancers, giant video screens, numerous costume changes and even a staff of guys tasked with carrying her through the audience on their shoulders. It must be good to be queen.
"Red" is the fifth music video from Taylor's "Red" album. She announced it herself Wednesday (July 3) on Twitter, along with wishing her followers a happy July 4.

A shapeshifting (and pregnant) James Franco out-runs the FCU in this unexpected video
"No fact too small. No celebrity too big. Fact Checkers Unit from SWAG Magazine will stop at nothing to check the most bizarre of facts." Err, okay, sure. James Franco has been spotted on the subway in his third trimester so the fact checkers try desperately to work out why (and how) this could be. Now on it's sixth episode, Fact Checkers is sponsored by Samsung (who may or may not want you to buy a Galaxy Note) so, of course, the supporting role is played by a mobile device. But hey, who cares, this is a terrific addition to the series, a real corker of an advert and I think I speak for most of us when I say I'd watch Franco no matter what he was being paid to pedal. Happy Friday!

2 productivity-boosting extensions for GNOME 3
Even with the latest version of GNOME 3 looking a whole lot better than earlier versions, I still find that it is not suitable for my daily desktop computing. But thanks to a couple of extensions, I can customize my GNOME 3 desktop to suite me, in a manner that makes for a more productive time in front of the monitor.
The two extensions are the Taskbar (by zpydr), which displays icons of running applications on the top panel, showing thumbnails of those applications on hover, and Workspaces to Dock (by passingthru67), which transforms the workspaces of the overview mode into an intellihide dock.
Both extensions ship with their own configuration options. This article shows screen shots of the extensions in use on a test installation of Fedora 19 beta. For reference, if you are new to GNOME 3, this screen shot shows the default GNOME Shell. Notice that Activities is the sole entry on the left side of the top panel.
Here's the same desktop with the TaskBar extension installed and enabled. Now, you see the menu icon, the workspace icon,
And here's the desktop with applications icons on the top panel and a thumbnail of an open window showing.
With Workspaces to Dock installed and enabled, the workspace dock now behaves like the Favorites dock on the left edge of the desktop.
It even has its own taskbar for open applications.
For me, these two extensions are what I need for now. To install them, head on over to https://extensions.gnome.org

How about nautilus-open-terminal? Right click for a "Command Prompt Here"
Yea, I discovered these two extensions when I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.04 and the gnome shell. They are great.
Have just installed openSuse 12.3 a couple of weeks ago. Played around with the default KDE gui but decided to try Gnome 3.6 and never looked back. Just downloaded these two extensions. WOW! Love it. Solved a couple of nags I had with Gnome over KDE. Thanks !
Or you can stay with gnome 2 !
Cool. I do like vanilla G3, though. By the way, it's amazing to see how flexible Gnome3 is: take a look at the same Cinnamon that Hunkah mentioned earlier: how many plugins/extensions can change it's look so dramatically?
The fact that Cinnamon stays mostly the same could also be a strength. But is nice to see so much choice
Install Cinnamon and watch your productivity go through the roof!
Your comment implies that everyone is less productive with Gnome 3, which is a baseless assumption. Just because you want to cling to the past with Cinnamon and are more productive with that type of desktop doesn't mean everyone is.

**What is it, and Why Buy?**
I am a regular reader of Hot UK Deals, and when I saw a post on there stating that Aldi would be selling a DAB radio for £16.99, I decided to treat myself. I'd wanted a DAB radio for the kitchen for a while but I didn't want anything expensive - under £20 is great for a DAB radio in my book.
A DAB radio is a digital radio receiver (DAB stands for Digital Access Broadcasting) which gives easier tuning, superior quality and more features than a standard analogue radio. I was sick of having my old radio needing to be tuned in to every channel and having no presets, and it varying in quality depending on if I was near the aerial or whether a lorry went past!
The Envivo DAB & FM Radio has the following specifications:
6 Preset Channels
Auto Tune
Backlit LCD display
Built-in front facing speaker
Extendable silver aerial
Headphone port
Ability to run on mains power or 4 x AA Batteries (Not supplied, though it runs fine on cheap Kodaks from the pound shop)
Analogue FM tuning for non DAB areas or channels
I think for £16.99 the Envivo DAB & FM Radio is pretty well packed with features, in fact there really isn't anything missing from this model which you might get on a high end DAB radio which actually I'd need. So 5 / 5 for features especially for the price.
**What's in the Box**
In the box, you get:
The Envivo DAB & FM Radio
Mains adaptor
Instructional Manual
2 Year Warranty
The box itself is a nice full colour box and the overall presentation of it is of a high quality, meaning the Envivo DAB & FM Radio would make a nice gift (not like some supermarket value items which you might not want to wrap up in their basics packaging!)
The Envivo DAB & FM Radio is available in a matte black or a matte white finish. The finish is undoubtedly plastic and can feel slightly on the cheaper side but for a budget DAB radio it's absolutely fine and the build quality doesn't feel flimsy at all.
The unit has a curved front with a flat back, meaning it's great to use against a wall, on a windowsill or as a bedside unit. It has a silver extendable aerial, and the buttons (tuning, volume and presets) are all on the angled top of the unit along with the backlit LCD screen. For a sub £20 DAB radio I think it looks good (I went for the white version as it's for use in my kitchen).
**In Use**
I tend to use my radio with batteries and I find that I only need to change them every three months or so, and I use the radio for at least 20 minutes most days whilst I prepare meals. Tuning it was a breeze (the screen tells you what radio station you've tuned to) and I've got my six favourite channels as presets, so it's as easy as switching it on and going to which channel I want. No more fiddly tuning or static sounds!
The sound quality for me is excellent through the little built in front facing speaker. No tinny sound, no distortion - I'm really pleased with it. Voices are easy to hear and bass is sufficiently deep. For most people it will suit them down to the ground.
The clock feature is handy as it has an alarm on it, which I can hear better than my oven timer so I actually use it quite often if I have something in the oven, again another handy little feature.
It's wipe-clean, which is a bonus, for use in the kitchen. Overall I am really happy with it, never had a moment's trouble with it and it has the added bonus of a 2 year manufacturer's warranty for peace of mind.
**Any Downsides**
For the money I think any downsides I could state (such as a rechargeable battery or a USB input for playing mp3s etc) would defeat the object of this being a budget DAB radio.
Overall I am very happy indeed with my purchase of the Envivo DAB & FM Radio and I'm glad I waited it out for DAB radios to get to a reasonable and affordable price which competes with that of analogue technology.
Since I purchased my white one I've bought a black one as a gift and it was very gratefully received. I can't fault it in terms of price, looks, quality and sheer ease of use. I'm really happy with it and if you're looking for a little DAB radio for use as an alarm clock, for in the kitchen, garage or just around the house, then you can't go far wrong with the Envivo DAB & FM Radio.
I'm going to give it 5 stars out of 5 because I can't really find any fault with it personally. Highly recommended. Keep an eye out in your local Aldi, because these can and do sell out especially around Christmas time.
The fact that I was the last person in the world to own a DAB radio was not down to being a technophobe. Much as I like to savour the nostalgia for steam radio, magic lanterns and the abacus, I think I've been fairly good at embracing technological change and celebrating the new opportunities it brings. No, it's not that. I'm just mean.
DAB radios have seemed rather expensive up to now, and I didn't feel I could justify the expense when I had several, perfectly good analogue radios around the house. However, when shopping in Aldi one time I noticed that the Envivo DAB/FM radio was selling for £16.99 and having been quite pleased with the Envivo range of products in the past I thought this was a well-priced opportunity to find out what DAB had to offer.
The Envivo DAB/FM Portable Radio comes in black and white and at 180 x 78 x 41.5 mm is slim and sleek to look at, but the plastic casing goes with a plastic feel, so that you know you're handling a low-end product. A cheap feel doesn't always mean a cheap performance, of course. I don't buy a radio to look at it, but to listen to it. With other Envivo products I have found that the performance has been better than the build.
It comes with a mains lead and plug, but also takes 4 x AA batteries, which are not supplied. The on/off switch is at the back and there is an extendable, fold-down aerial. On the top, there is an array of buttons for switching between DAB and FM, for pre-setting stations and recalling them, raising and lowering volume, and for moving backwards and forwards between stations. There is also a standby button and a headphone socket.
A potentially useful feature of this radio is an alarm clock facility, along with a backlit LCD display, making it a possibility for the bedside.
While that lightweight, plastic feel might not be everything, I have found it difficult to get away from; and even setting that aside, I have not been completely happy, I have to say.
When I set it up and put it on automatic search it "found" 63 stations, but many of them were unclear and they took some sifting through before I was able to pre-set the ten of them that this radio allows. There were still some that I couldn't find. Recalling them seemed a bit of a nuisance as well. You have to press the pre-set button for a couple of seconds and then press the forward and backward buttons to find the station you want. I have an old car radio that Noah didn't want and I find it easier to find stations on that while I'm driving than I do on this thing.
Once you've found a station with a good signal, the sound is clear, but not very loud. This is not a radio for the hard of hearing, unless you're going to use the headphone socket, either for an earpiece or to connect to an amp, but if you have to do the latter, you're largely defeating the object of having a small, portable radio in the first place. I don't find the tone very robust, either. Somehow that "plasticky" feel seems to extend to the sound as well.
Looking at the market now, I have to say that I made an unwise impulse buy. I'm sure that if I'd looked around a little, then for the same money, or perhaps a little bit more, I could have found something better. I can't honestly say that this is any better than the battered old analogues I've got around the place. In fact, I think it's worse. If this were pink and had big buttons, I might have considered giving my very first DAB radio to my six year old granddaughter.
I shall probably end up using this as a radio alarm by the bed. The difficulty there is that the present incumbent is over thirty years old and still going strong. I think I got it with Green Shield stamps!
If there are just one or two stations you listen to all the time, you want a clear signal, you don't want to spend much money and you don't have a hearing problem .....this could be for you.

Axl Rose Chimes In On Red Hot Chili Peppers Super Bowl Controversey
The internet has been on fire since word leaked that the Red Hot Chili Peppers weren't actually plugged in on stage at Super Bowl 48, but rather staged the biggest air guitar concert ever recorded. Yes, their performance of "Give It Away" with Bruno Mars was pre-recorded, and the Peppers came out thrashing around with instruments that were plugged into nothing. In the world where most hold dear the idea that music must be pure and honest, there was shock and outrage. How could Flea possible sign off on this? How could they disgrace the sanctity of live music by air-guitaring with billions of people watching?
Well, Flea has an answer. In a message posted on the band's website, the bassist explains that yes, they indeed faked it, but it wasn't really their call. See, the NFL sort of has a multi-billion dollar brand to protect. And the Super Bowl is their golden goose, so to speak. They will go to whatever lengths necessary to ensure every aspect of the event goes off without a hitch. Flea explains that the NFL told the band the vocals would be live, but the bass, drums and guitar would be pre-recorded. No harm, no foul, right? Of course, the musical purists will still hold this over the band's heads forever, which is where Axl Rose comes in.
Always the voice of reason, Rose, in an op-ed for Billboard, commented sarcastically (in the name of science as well) about the "largest karaoke audience ever" and seemed to make a joke of the whole situation, which in reality is what is is. Axl somehow works in a reference to the "sign language guy in South Africa," referring to the interpreter at Nelson Mandela's funeral who actually didn't know sign language. In the end, much ado about nothing when it comes down to it. The NFL doesn't negotiate with musicians, period.
Check out both responses in all of their glory below. The Chili Peppers will reportedly go into "hibernation" for the time being as they begin work on a new album to follow-up to 2011's I'm With You.
Here is the full transcript of Flea's message:
Dear everybody,
When we were asked by the NFL and Bruno to play our song Give It Away at the Super Bowl, it was made clear to us that the vocals would be live, but the bass, drums, and guitar would be pre-recorded. I understand the NFL's stance on this, given they only have a few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the t.v. viewers. There was not any room for argument on this, the NFL does not want to risk their show being botched by bad sound, period.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers stance on any sort of miming has been that we will absolutely not do it. The last time we did it (or tried to) was in the late 80′s, we were thrown off of 'The Top Of the Pops' television program in the U.K. during rehearsals because we refused to mime properly, I played bass with my shoe, John played guitar atop Anthony's shoulders, and we basically had a wrestling match onstage, making a mockery of the idea that it was a real live performance.
We mimed on one or two weird MTV shows before that and it always was a drag. We take our music playing seriously, it is a sacred thing for us, and anyone who has ever seen us in concert (like the night before the Super Bowl at the Barclays Center), knows that we play from our heart, we improvise spontaneously, take musical risks, and sweat blood at every show. We have been on the road for 31 years doing it.
So, when this Super Bowl gig concept came up, there was a lot of confusion amongst us as whether or not we should do it, but we eventually decided, it was a surreal-like, once in a life time crazy thing to do and we would just have fun and do it. We had given this a lot of thought before agreeing to do it, and besides many a long conversation amongst ourselves, I spoke with many musician friends for whom I have the utmost respect, and they all said they would do it if asked, that it was a wild trippy thing to do, what the hell. Plus, we the RHCP all love football too and that played a big part in our decision. We decided that, with Anthony singing live, that we could still bring the spirit and freedom of what we do into the performance, and of course we played every note in the recording specially for the gig. I met and spoke with Bruno, who was a beautiful dude, a real talented musician, and we worked out something that seemed like it would be fun.
We recorded a track for the day, just banged one out from our hearts that was very like in spirit to the versions we have been playing live the last few years with our beloved Josh on guitar.
For the actual performance, Josh, Chad, and I were playing along with the pre recorded track so there was no need to plug in our guitars, so we did not. Could we have plugged them in and avoided bumming people out who have expressed disappointment that the instrumental track was pre recorded? Of course easily we could have and this would be a non-issue. We thought it better to not pretend. It seemed like the realest thing to do in the circumstance. It was like making a music video in front of a gazillion people, except with live vocals, and only one chance to rock it. Our only thought was to bring the spirit of who we are to the people.
I am grateful to the NFL for having us. And I am grateful to Bruno, who is a super talented young man for inviting us to be a part of his gig. I would do it all the same way again.
We, as a band, aspire to grow as musicians and songwriters, and to continue to play our guts out live onstage for anyone who wants to get their brains blown out.
And now for Axl's full response:
In The Name Of Science
In regard to the internet's "no wireless" controversy regarding the Red Hot Chili Peppers Superbowl performance as reported on ESPN…
I enjoyed the show and I've no idea what the real story is nor would I want to suggest or imply anyone wasn't actually performing or that what they were playing wasn't what we actually heard. That said I feel it's important to always look on the positive side of things and to give the benefit of doubt.
So consider that maybe sometime before their actual performance that rather than use a guitar cord or standard wireless, that in the name of science and for all mankind Flea courageously had a newly invented breakthrough in microchip technology installed in his ass that picked up the frequencies of his bass and transmitted them to his amplifier.
Maybe they all had microchips installed in their asses and not only pick up the frequencies of their instruments but get Direct TV and the internet too! Like Google Glass… Google Ass! They could be "Scientific Pioneers!" Like Buzz Aldrin and shit! True (pardon the pun)ASS-tro-nots! Or like Superbowl crash test dummies for bands kinda like those cars that drive themselves!
And besides… If the band wasn't really playing or wireless or whatever and Anthony was really singing they may have set a new world record for the largest karaoke audience ever! Awesome!
So relax and show some pride! This is probably all just Google finding new ways to enrich our lives with the selfless volunteering of the Peppers and the ever ongoing creative process of true innovation or perhaps a new lounge bar record of super magnificent proportions and a new pinnacle of human achievement not seen since the sign language guy in South Africa!
God Bless America, the Peppers n' technology… PN'T!
oh axl, what in god's holy name are your blathering about?
Yo ax, put the pipe down.
Nice lebowski reference weekenders. Far out.
Sounds like someone is sour grapes 'cause "they" didn't get asked to play at the Super Bowl.
Truth of the matter is the chili peppers still perform like.this pluged in…. tour.the world and make.albums…..Axl eat and doesnt show.up on time or at all. Suck s when he does. So Axl Rose ass ahut the funk up
Who cares what axl rose has to say? When was the last time he was relevant?
So….. Axl is drinking/drugging again/still?
Ayl Who???? Wasn't he in Slash's band at one time?? Izzy pushed him off a warship or something so he could swim with the fishes, right?
Axl who?..who's still performing? Who still has hits?..whoever does that's who's opinion I'm following. Shut the fuck up axl. Sorry dude don't know you don't want to n your opinion took up 3 minutes of life I won't get back. Dumb motha fucker. Have a good day
Well Axil…wonder how many times RHCP showed up to their concerts so drunk they couldn't make it thru 3 songs?! Ummmm rethink who you talk about dude! Oh why were on the subject too bad you didn't show up to your bands induction in the Rock and Roll hall of shame I mean fame ! You give me douche bumps !
Paul McCartney played and sang live…the good ones "do it"-LIVE
You rock, Axl!
Ya know what I really enjoyed the show and if you can't find the value of entertainment in the show, at a massive show ,then your the one that needs to search somewhere else for your enjoyment!!
Wow..fleas response so on point….axls response..babblings of an over drugged wash out who just wasted a few minutes of my life sounding like a jealous bitter female…jeez..
Im just happy it wasnt Justin Beiber playing, the RHCP could have sat there picked there noses and played kazoos… and Axl who?
Why is it that most of you missed the true concept of Axl's letter? I'm treading water up to my neck with dummies.
Peppers don't need to explain anything.
That was embarrassing, any amateur would have been more appropriate. You are old alx, old and passe. Drive a cab you hack.
OK dudes, Ed says "Lets Spend Some Time Together" !
I think Ozzy said Gn'R could've been as important a band as The Stones. Oh what could've been…

While barley is a natural for soups, think outside the stockpot. Broaden your barley horizons and experiment.
- Instead of rice pilaf, make barley pilaf to serve with any main dish.
- Add barley to casseroles and use it in place of rice in rice salads.
- Serve barley and diced apples with rosemary baked chicken.
- Add cooked, chilled barley to a bean salad for a fantastic lunch.
- Try corn and barley relish. Add canned or frozen corn to cooked barley along with olive oil; wine vinegar; chopped fresh basil; salt; pepper; and chopped tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions.
Perfect Portion: 1/2 cup
This is a good amount for a side dish. For main dishes you can have 3/4 cup and still keep the GL in the "low" category.

Yahoo! Mail
Date of use:June 5 2012
My Review
ATT DSL users - DO NOT USE Yahoo email as your primary / main email because ATT linkage to Yahoo email can really mess things up!
I was a Yahoo email user for ever and a few years ago subscribed to ATT DSL services. ATT did this 'smart' thing by linking my ATT email with my Yahoo email. Last week, something messed up with my ATT email account and it accidentally got deleted. I have now lost my Yahoo email account too!
Called ATT and even their Level 2 tech support cannot restore my email. So, here I am writhing in pain and ATT cannot help - and neither can Yahoo because ATT has deleted the account!
What a mess! Run from ATT / Yahoo. It is unimaginable chaos there!

Shadowy cells may be betraying the body by protecting cancerous tumours from the wrath of the conventional immune system. If we could block these cells, treatments for stopping tumour growth could follow.
Cancerous tumours are always found surrounded by a mixture of immune cells that, for some unknown reason, seem to stand back and allow the tumour to grow without interfering.
"We knew the tumour's microenvironment is immunosuppressive, but we didn't know how," says Douglas Fearon at the University of Cambridge. To find out, his team investigated these surrounding cells.
They decided to single out one type of cell that is present around tumours, as well as in areas of chronic inflammation, such as the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis. Little is known about the cell, which the researchers call the FAP-expressing cell after the fibroblast activation protein found on its surface.
Although the cell was discovered lurking around tumours 20 years ago, there has been little research into its function, and it has mainly been used as a tumour marker, Fearon says. "We're still trying to work out if it's been studied under a different name," he adds.
Taking them down
To work out the role of this cell, the group first injected mice with a lung or pancreas tumour below the skin and then selectively killed off FAP-expressing cells. To do this, they inserted a human receptor for diphtheria toxin – which doesn't normally affect mice – in FAP-expressing cells only. When the researchers then infected the mice with the toxin, the FAP-expressing cells died – and all the lung and pancreas tumours stopped growing.
"The tumours normally double in size over two days," Fearon says. But when his group dissected the tumours two days after killing the FAP-expressing cells, the tumours were either the same size or slightly smaller than when they were first injected. "We were surprised at how fast it worked," says Fearon.
What's more, around half of the tumour cells in the treated mice were dead from oxygen starvation, suggesting their blood supply had been cut off.
The FAP-expressing cells might work by blocking the action of two proteins which normally work to kill cells. "When we blocked the activity of these two proteins[in a separate experiment], we prevented tumour necrosis," says Fearon.
Akira Orimo at the Paterson Institute for Cancer Research at the University of Manchester, UK, points out that the mouse model of cancer "does not resemble the nature of human carcinomas that we often observe in the clinic".
Before the team can develop a therapy to try in humans, Fearon says they need to figure out where else the cells might reside in the body, and what they're doing.

Ocean City, Bethany and Rehoboth Memorial Day forecast (Update)
It's that time of year again. Thousands upon thousands heading for the Delmarva Beaches. Here's the all-important weather forecast.
It's time to start heading to the beaches again! I hope everyone has lined up their list of back roads for the Eastern Shore or is planning to leave at Midnight to avoid the 5 hour trip time. Regardless, it's the beach, it's worth it. Will the weather cooperate though? Here's a look at the Memorial Day Weekend forecast on the Eastern Shore.
Check out the Delmarva Beach Resource Guide!
Partly Sunny, Windy and Cool
Temperatures: Mid 60s Winds: NW 10-20 Gusts to 35 m.p.h.
Another day forward in the forecast and conditions seemed to have improved as far as rain and clouds but still poor as far as temperatures and winds. I don't think this will be a beach day with wind gusts to 35 mph and sustained winds around 10 to 20 mph. This could lead to blowing sand, rough surf and plenty of that beautiful sea foam! Temperatures will only reach the mid 60s making it feel even cooler, so have a sweatshirt handy. More sunshine should filter into the region as the day goes on.
Related: Ocean City HD WeatherBug Camera at Plim Plaza
Partly Cloudy, Breezy and Cool
Temperatures: Upper 60s Winds: NW 10-15 m.p.h.
Low pressure will be moving farther off the east coast into the Atlantic, making for improvements along the Eastern Shore. Temperatures will still be cool unfortunately, with highs only in the mid to upper 60s. This will be the case as water temperatures, which have a huge impact on the air temperatures, are only in the mid 60s.
Related: Rehoboth Beach HD WeatherBug Camera
Memorial Day Monday:
Partly Cloudy and Cool
Temperatures: Around 70 Winds: NW 5-10 m.p.h.
At this point I think Monday will be the best day of the bunch, with plenty of sunshine and slightly milder temperatures. Highs should reach the upper 60s under partly cloudy skies. Clouds look like they will be the upper-level cirrus variety so I would imagine there would be a filtered sunshine. Winds will be light around 5 to 10 mph out of the northwest.

Basically I am using the new HTML5 audio element tag to play an audio file. I also have a basic flash player there as a fallback. If you do not have the Flash plugin for firefox downloaded, it asks you if you want to "download available plug-ins for this page." Now, as I write this, I'm thinking that I guess it's a good idea that it does that since older versions of firefox won't read the new
element and they will need to rely on the flash fallback. So would there be a way of stopping the newer versions of Firefox from asking the question? In other words, In my updated version of firefox, I can utilize the new new HTML5 audio player. It still asks me though, if I want to download the Flash plug-in for Firefox.
hmmm, I'm aware of Modernizer, but I always thought of it as a way to get IE looking better. How would I use it in this situation?

First, you'll need an exhaust flange like the one pictured below. I might be able to get you one from a guy over on the ThumperTalk forum - will PM you when I know.
The flange will need to be welded to the new connector pipe you will need to have fabbed to connect your stock exhaust header where it terminates to the GSXR can. The new connector pipe configuration will depend on how you want to mount the new can - you can see two mounting examples in my post above. Jim Rowley used some thinner-walled SS 15 degree angles to do his Africa Twin - Jeff had a Muffler shop make his up out of SS tubing too.
I had the link to the place Jim got his stuff from but can't seem to find it now. Anyway, a good muffler shop will probably be able to fab the pipe for you and weld the flange unless you already possess the skills to DIY. The pipe will need to be expanded on the end where it will connect to the stock header pipe so it can slip over - Jim used some type of heavy clamp that he said could be found at good motorcycle parts stores.
I'm leaning towards mounting mine horizontally in about the same location as the stock muffler but haven't tried fitting it yet so am unsure if that'll work as to clearance issues. The way the can is mounted on Jeff's old TA in the pic above looks good and makes it easier putting the connector pipe together as the angle where the pipe connects to the can would not be as severe vs my horizontal mounting idea. The possibility exists that the stock hanger mount on the GSXR can may need to be modified or extended to be able to hang the can where preferred but it's just aluminum so shouldn't be a big deal for a good welder.
