This surely isn't the way Microsoft hoped people would finally get interested in using modern UI apps in Windows 8.
Google's latest developer version of Chrome runs like a modern UI app in Windows 8. But we're not talking the Chrome browser, which is already available for Windows 8 in desktop mode. This is the full Chrome OS, running like a modern UI app in Windows 8.
That means Windows 8 users can essentially choose to run either Windows or the Chrome OS on their machines.
The big question is, why would you want to run Chrome OS on your brand new Windows 8 machine? The best answer is apps.
Microsoft has been criticized for struggling to attract great new apps as part of its new app store model in Windows 8. It hasn't even managed to transition its own apps, like Word and Excel, to the modern UI.
But if Google has great apps, including some that really take advantage of touch screens, it might convince people to try using Chrome OS on their Windows 8 machines.
Google has done far better than Microsoft (albeit over a longer period) of creating a new app ecosystem from scratch. Its Android app store dwarfs Microsoft's Windows Phone store. But it's hard to find a reliable number of how many apps are available for Chrome, and like Android, it suffers from a host of low-quality and rip-off apps. Still, it's Google, and so has a good chance of attracting cutting-edge apps for Chrome.
This is also an easy way to let people try out the Chrome OS without taking the plunge and actually buying a Chromebook.
One big caveat is that we're talking about a developer version of Chrome for Windows, so it's possible Google won't finish it off and release it to the public. Also, there are still shortcomings to running apps in a browser compared to natively. And with Windows 8.1, users can boot to the desktop, giving them even less reason to use modern UI style apps.
But if Google can overcome those shortcomings, it's easy to think that Marc Andreessen, back in his Netscape days, was just a bit too early for his time. Around 1995 he started quipping that Netscape would turn Windows into a "poorly debugged set of device drivers," meaning that browsers and web apps running on top of Windows would replace most of the apps and features of Windows itself. Twenty years later, Google may be trying to prove that out once again.

IN THE animal world, incest helps put an end to sexual violence. That's the conclusion of a modelling study of species in which males harm their mating partners.
In some species, competition between males can mean that females are harmed during copulation. Male cowpea weevils, for instance, have spiky penises (pictured) that puncture the female's insides and are thought to help anchor the male inside her, ensuring that he delivers his sperm and outcompetes other males. But another evolutionary pressure comes into play: closely related individuals share many of the same genes, so if a male harms a relative, fewer copies of its genes survive.
Daniel Rankin of the University of Zurich, Switzerland, wondered what happened when the competitive and family forces conflict. He set up a computer model in which males were more or less aggressive towards females, and males and females were more or less related to each other. The experiment found that in populations of closely related individuals, males that harmed females less were more successful at spreading their genes (Journal of Evolutionary Biology, DOI: 10.1111/j.1420-9101.2010.02143.x).
In the long run, this could influence the evolution of the community. In a group where animals are closely related, evolution will push males to be less aggressive towards females, says Rankin.

DELICTAE ethical issues are involved in handling genetic engineering. It was refreshing, therefore, to talk to Sir Hans Kornberg the other day, and to learn that he is chairman of the government's Advisory Committee on Genetic Manipulation. As a former, and successful, chairman of the Royal Commission on the Environment, Sir Hans grasps the public issues involved.
Doubtless he and his colleagues on the ACGM will address themselves to two issues raised by Malcolm Bruce, the Liberal spokesman on the environment. Bruce asked whether the government has any plans to control the purchase of biotechnology companies by the big agrochemical companies. Douglas Hogg, the industry minister, reported that the government would not intervene in such takeovers.
Small, research-based firms, in his view, could not always take ideas through to commercial production alone. In such cases, purchase by an established company could provide the resources needed. On the whole I agree ...

Iron Man magazine was founded in 1936 by Peary and Mabel Rader of Alliance, Nebraska. Their first print run of 50 copies was done via a duplicating machine which sat on their dining room table.
Iron Man started out as an educational vehicle to inform and enlighten those people who were interested in weightlifting, bodybuilding and eventually, powerlifting.
The focus of Iron Man magazine during its first 50 years was on all three sports, with emphasis on weight training in general as a life-enhancing activity. Iron Man has always stressed the health and character-building aspects of weight-training, and was always the leader in bringing exercise and nutrition concepts/ideas to those in the training world.
In the early 50s, Iron Man magazine was the first weight-training publication to show women working out with weights as part of their overall fitness regimen. It even went so far as to show a pregnant woman training with weights and educating readers on the benefits of exercise during pregnancy? thoroughly modern concepts 25 years ahead of its time.
In the late 50s-early 60s, Iron Man magazine was the first to talk about high-quality proteins derived from milk and eggs as well as liquid amino acids. The bimonthly magazine by this time had acquired 20,000 subscribers simply on the strength of its information. The Raders never worked at expanding its circulation. It grew by word of mouth fueled by the general hunger for and Iron Man's ability to provide intelligent, timely and reliable training information.
By 1970 Arthur Jones had created the first Nautilus prototype. He was eager to share his exercise concepts with the world, but every magazine except Iron Man turned him down. Peary Rader saw the potential of the Nautilus concept and in keeping with Iron Man's will to remain an open forum for ideas, Rader embraced Jones' enthusiasm and ideas.
Iron Man was the leader in bringing Nautilus to the marketplace and the only publication to stand behind it. The entire exercise machine industry today was built on the shoulders of the Nautilus. If Iron Man had not supported Nautilus, we would see a vastly different market today.
By the early 80s, the Raders?now in their 70s?had spent nearly 50 years working incredibly long hours to put out a bimonthly publication. The hard work was beginning to take its toll.
I had been interested in Iron Man since the mid-70s as a business and had in fact talked several times with the Raders about purchasing Iron Man. Eventually, my dream of owning and publishing a bodybuilding magazine was realized and in August 1986, Iron Man magazine changed owners after 50 years. At that time, Iron Man had no foreign editions, published bimonthly and averaged 96 black-and-white pages except for a color cover.
Over twenty years later, Iron Man Magazine is published worldwide not only in English, but also Japanese and Italian. The English language edition averages 250 pages in full color.
IronManMagazine.com is a natural extension of the magazine ? complete, unbiased training and nutritional information for the beginner and hardcore bodybuilder/weight trainer. As the Internet continues to explode across the world and hundreds of companies spring up everyday, each claiming to have the answer or magic potion that will turn your fat into muscle, remember that the one true voice is your own. As you experiment with new routines and supplement schedules, your body will tell you if you are on the right track or not.
As always we will provide you with the basic tools to get started as well as information on the latest trends and shortcuts. We insist upon your feedback as we strive to remain your training, nutrition and inspirational guide.

WOKING v BARROW
Brian Caffarey - 7th March 2009
WOKING v BARROW
3pm on Saturrday 7 March 2009
Come on down to Kingfield this afternoon for the Cards? most important game of the season so far as they take on relegation rivals, Barrow, in a real ?six pointer?.
The good news for Cards fans is that Wilfried Domoraud is back from injury and he will surely take his place in the starting line-up, presumably alongside Rob Elvins.
Phil Gilcrhist will need to re-shuffle his midfield in the light of Paolo Vernazza. Joel Ledgister or Goma Lambu look the most likely additions.
For a full preview see the news item dated 6 March.
Come on, you Cards!

Colobus Monkey training
Training animals is probably one of the best parts of a zookeepers' day. You get to interact with your animals, and it's for an important purpose. When I say "training" – it does not mean we're teaching the animals to do tricks. Every behavior we ask our animals to do is for a specific reason. For the most part, it is to help us examine our animals up close without having to anesthetize them for a physical exam.

Speakeasy Performance Development Program
Darebin Art's Speakeasy is now looking to program our 3rd season of Comedy Festival performances at the Northcote Town Hall.
We are on the hunt for shows that utilize the theatricality of our spaces, that aren't necessarily straight forward stand-up, including cabaret, spoken word, contemporary performance, children's work and shows that are unclassifiable but deeply weird and hilarious. Whilst we do welcome stand up shows to apply we want to know what makes it different, brave and unique? We create a program of work that is significantly different to the Melbourne Town Hall in its curatorial nature and vibe. The Darebin Arts' Speakeasy program for the Comedy Festival celebrates risk and exploration in comedy.
Applications are due midday 31st October
The Speakeasy Performance Development Program was launched in 2013 and aims to support our artistic community by providing opportunities for professional development.
The program supports the presentation and creation of new performance work, enables artists and groups to participate in and contribute to creative works presented in Darebin, and provides mentoring opportunities and studio rehearsal space.
Applications for the program open twice a year and are sought from artists and companies who aim to develop work that is exciting, adventurous and of high quality. Preference is given to projects that have direct outcomes for Darebin residents and communities. All new application opportunities will be announced on this page when open.
For more information email Beau McCafferty at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 8470 8531.

Tigers staying loose
CORPUS CHRISTI - The first round of Carroll's batting practice Tuesday afternoon left an opening at second base and the Tigers working at first and third needed someone to take their throws.
While Jeff Hagen pitched, fellow assistants Ben Vineyard and Mark Hiller were hitting ground balls to the corners, so Lee Yeager picked up a glove and trotted out to the infield. A former shortstop at Stephen F. Austin, Yeager looked more like a player than the team's head coach.
It only happens every now and then, when needed. Plus, Yeager said it's good to "move around a little."
On Tuesday it had more to do with the way Yeager felt -- all because of the Tigers.
"These guys are so relaxed, it's unreal," he said. "It's never been my way of going, but right now I have to go with the flow."
It's worked for the players.
Carroll opened each of the past three playoff series with a loss, but recovered to win the next two games. Now only two victories away from the state tournament, Yeager said the Tigers (25-16 overall) are sticking to the same routine.
"If you've watched us practice the past three weeks we're exactly the same as we've been -- real loose," said Yeager, whose team takes on Harlingen South for the Region IV-5A title in a best-of-3 series that begins tonight in the Rio Grande Valley. "We're not going to be changing anything."
The second game is scheduled for Friday night at Cabaniss Field, with a third set to be played Saturday afternoon at Nolan Ryan Field in Kingsville, if necessary. Yeager hopes it doesn't go that far this time.
Still, Yeager is confident the Tigers can handle it.
"If we get beat in the opener, I think our chances get a little better," he said. "Hopefully we come out and win the first one to make it a little easier. If it takes a third game, I feel like we have a good opportunity. The key is we've done it."
Three times, already.
Playing against San Antonio Reagan in the area round, the Rattlers won the first game 3-2. Carroll took the second game 3-2 to extend the series and completed the comeback with a 4-3 victory in the third.
The Tigers ran into Austin Bowie in the regional quarterfinals, a series the Bulldogs opened with a 3-0 win. Two days later, Carroll ousted Bowie from the playoffs with a pair of 3-0 triumphs.
Last week, McAllen had the Tigers on the verge of elimination after winning the first game 7-4. Game 2 lasted nine innings before Carroll prevailed 4-3, which gave the District 27-5A runner-up enough momentum to win the third 5-1.
Luis Hinojosa took the loss in Game 1 each time, but that doesn't matter as long as Jeremy Narvaez and Matt Gomez keep doing their part to get the Tigers into the next round.
Yeager said Gomez has been the biggest surprise after making only two starts during the regular season in a non-district game against Calallen and the district finale against San Antonio Highlands.
A sophomore, Gomez has given up only 10 hits and four total runs in the last 21 innings. Five of those hits came against Reagan and Bowie, with McAllen responsible for the rest.
"He's done extremely well for us," Yeager said. "We thought he could do it, but putting all that pressure on him in the third game and doing it three weeks in a row, that's a lot of stuff for a kid to handle."
Gomez and the Tigers are ready -- and relaxed.
"We're all practicing with a lot of intensity," Gomez said. "We all have smiles on our faces, but we know there's still work to be done. Now it's time to get to it."

My horses came home to live on our property :)
It's been, hands down, the best year of my life.
There is always something to do or a horse to go brush. It's great looking out my bedroom window and seeing them eating hay in their field.
If I could go back and do it all over again, it would be the exact same... and I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Cruise trends 2014: Image rehab and new ships
New York » A couple of eye-popping new ships, the ever-growing popularity of river cruising, and efforts to restore consumer confidence are among the headlines in cruise news as 2014 unfolds.
But don't expect ships to keep getting bigger. Instead, look for theme park-style attractions and new offerings in dining and entertainment. Here are some details.
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), which represents 95 percent of cruise capacity worldwide with 63 member cruise lines, forecasts 21.7 million guests will cruise this year, up from 21.3 million in 2013.
The Caribbean remains the world's most popular cruise destination, included on 37 percent of global cruise itineraries, followed by a 19 percent share for the Mediterranean.
More than two dozen cruise ships will launch in 2014 and 2015, but the race to make every vessel bigger than the last is subsiding from several years ago, when Royal Caribbean's Allure and Oasis set records with capacities of more than 6,000 passengers apiece.
"I think the size of the ships — Allure and Oasis — is as big as it gets," said CLIA president Christine Duffy in an interview. Instead, Duffy says, the new emphasis is "on more bells and whistles."
Two of 2014's new ships are sure to turn heads. The colorful exterior of Norwegian Cruise Line's ship Getaway, which debuts this winter and will homeport in Miami, features a mermaid cavorting amid turquoise and yellow swirls. It was designed by Miami-based Cuban-American artist David Le Batard, also known as "LEBO."
Getaway will homeport in Miami and is a sister ship to Norwegian Breakaway, a New York-themed ship that debuted in 2013. Getaway carries 3,969 passengers, has 18 decks and two unique offerings: the Illusionarium, part restaurant, part magic show, and the "Grammy Experience at Sea," with performances by Grammy winners and nominees, plus exhibits of Grammy-related artifacts.
The most-anticipated new ship of 2014 is Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas, with dazzling first-at-sea attractions: simulated skydiving, bumper cars and an observation capsule called The North Star. The capsule, modeled on the London Eye, offers a bird's-eye view 300 feet (91 meters) above the water. The ship debuts in November.
Meanwhile, the Mediterranean-based MSC Cruises company is hoping to win over Americans with its first U.S.-based ship, MSC Divina, which recently started sailing year-round from Miami to the Caribbean.
The cruise industry has had a rough few years, beginning with the January 2012 shipwreck of the Costa Concordia, which killed 32 people. In September 2013, the Concordia was finally pulled upright in a complicated engineering feat, but the vessel is still in the waters off the coast of Italy and its captain remains on trial.
The bad news continued last year when Carnival had several mishaps, with passengers stranded at sea, ships towed back to port and cancelled trips. The negative publicity depressed prices and revenue for the company.
The incidents even changed the way travelers book cruises. The percentage of cruises booked online had been increasing fast until last year, according to a study released in December by PhoCusWright. After the Carnival mishaps, "both cruise lines and agents spent more time on the phone winning over tentative travelers and upselling all they could," according to PhoCusWright. Online cruise bookings jumped 28 percent in 2011 and 26 percent in 2012, but were expected to increase just 6 percent in 2013.
To restore consumer confidence, the cruise industry in 2013 took a number of steps, including publishing statistics for crimes that take place on ships and issuing a passenger bill of rights guaranteeing sanitary conditions, medical care and refunds in the event of a major power failure.
Carnival is undertaking a $300 million program to add emergency generators to ships, upgrade fire safety and improve engine rooms. The changes will create redundancies so that if one power source fails, others will be available.

animal science and medicine are rapidly changing and evolving disciplines. The institution should provide opportunities and support for regular professional development and continuing education to ensure both that professional staff are knowledgeable about the latest practices and procedures and that laboratory animals receive high-quality care (Colby et al. 2007).
Animal Care Personnel Personnel caring for animals should be appropriately trained (see Appendix A, Education), and the institution should provide for formal and/or on-the-job training to facilitate effective implementation of the Program and the humane care and use of animals. Staff should receive training and/or have the experience to complete the tasks for which they are responsible. According to the Program scope, personnel with expertise in various disciplines (e.g., animal husbandry, administration, veterinary medical technology) may be required.
There are a number of options for training animal care personnel and technicians (Pritt and Duffee 2007). Many colleges have accredited programs in veterinary technology (AVMA 2010); most are 2-year programs that award Associate of Science degrees, some are 4-year programs that award Bachelor of Science degrees. Nondegree training, via certification programs for laboratory animal technicians and technologists, is available from the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science (AALAS), and there are various commercially available training materials appropriate for self-guided study (Appendix A).
Personnel caring for laboratory animals should also regularly engage in continuing education activities and should be encouraged to participate in local and national laboratory animal science meetings and in other relevant professional organizations. On-the-job training, supplemented with institution-sponsored discussion and training programs and reference materials applicable to their jobs and the species in their care, should be provided to each employee responsible for animal care (Kreger 1995).
Coordinators of institutional training programs can seek assistance from the Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC), the Laboratory Animal Welfare and Training Exchange (LAWTE), AALAS, and ILAR (NRC 1991). The Guide to the Care and Use of Experimental Animals by the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC 1993) and guidelines from other countries are valuable additions to the libraries of laboratory animal scientists (Appendix A).
The Research Team The institution should provide appropriate education and training to members of research teams—including principal investigators, study directors, research technicians, postdoctoral fellows, students, and visiting scientists—to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and expertise for the specific animal procedures proposed and the species

Jérémie Karegeya, the youngest member of Team Rwanda proved age is just a number after all by being the highest Rwandan finisher on stage five of the La Tropicale Amissi Bongo 2013 tour in Gabon.
The 19-year old rider, a younger brother of team captain Nathan Byukusenge outdid his elder team mates over the 190.4km stage, coming in on 27th place in a time of 04h37'40", just 50 seconds behind the winner, Belgian Frédérique Robert of Team Lotto Belisbol, who used 04h36'50" 10".
Byukusenge, Team Rwanda's highest ranked rider on the general classification after five stages in 29th position, didn't have the best of days, finishing 44th.
Another youngster Hassan Rukundo was 40th, Bonaventure Uwizeyimana (41), Valens Ndayisenga came in at 64th, while Jean-Bosco Nsengiyumva's struggles continued as he finished last.
Karegeya finished ahead of Kenya's John Njoroge, who took third place in the 2012 Tour of Rwanda, and his excellent performance helped him up the general classification table to 75th.

CONFIRMED: Chris Brown Breaks-Up With Karrueche For Rihanna "Friendship"
Well the writing was on the wall, if you'd seen my earlier post, you would have known this statement was coming very soon. Chris Brown tried to make it work, but when Rihanna goes to Oprah (the world), what can Breezy do? Poor Karrueche she can't compete with Rihanna on Oprah. I know Karrueche has a heart-broken, and I know the ride wasn't easy, but baby it's for THE best. Sometimes flowers really mean I'm sorry, BUT…
I have decided to be single to focus on my career. I love Karrueche very much but I don't want to see her hurt over my friendship with Rihanna. I'd rather be single allowing us to both be happy in our lives.
So Chris Brown makes it official…But if Chris Brown didn't end it, would Karrueche have ended it? According to rumors it was Karrueche who finally gave Chris Brown an ultimatum. O_O Ouch!Read More
Discussion: Unbelievable!! George Zimmerman Is Suing NBC Over Trayvon Martin 911 Tapes
Talk about someone with a boatload of gall and audacity. Trayvon Martin shooter George Zimmerman has plans to sue NBC for editing 911 tapes, The New York Post is reporting.
Read More
NBC launched an internal probe after producers misleadingly edited the 911 call placed by Zimmerman just before he shot the unarmed Florida teenager. The edit made it appear that Zimmerman had immediately told police that Martin was black, when the full tape reveals the neighborhood watch captain only did so when responding to a question posed by a dispatcher.
Random Celebrity Tweets: Diddy's Work Of Art
I think everyone knows that signing on or being affiliated with Bad Boy is kind of like signing up for a one-way ticket to the black hole of Entertainment Space. But if one thing Diddy doesn't fail on promotions of, it's of himself. Now, I'm not sure if this is apart of his Ciroc campaign or if he had a little too much time on his hands but Diddy shared this picture on Twitter.
I'm an artist. In every sense of the word. Lol.
Yeah. Just random. And no explanation. Maybe this is his next album cover or some other business venture. Guess we'll find out sooner or later!
K Michelle & Royce Reed Friends Since College
I know sometimes it's hard to believe that K Michelle had a life before Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. It seems that K Michelle had less public episodes of drama, too. Just in case you were wondering what K Michelle was doing before her singing and reality show career…She was going to college with her buddy Royce Reed at FAMU. I betcha they didn't know back then that they would be famous for Vh1 reality shows.
Lark Voorhies Has Bipolar Disorder, According To Her Mother
My my my. How childhood idols have aged. I loved Lark Voorhies A.K.A. Lisa Turtle on Saved By The Bell. Always fashionable, smart and constantly pushing off the advances of poor Screech. And during the years, Lark has appeared on red carpets and independent movies looking like a shell of her former self. But according to People Magazine, her mother knows the reason why: she suffers from Bipolar Disorder.
The former teen star, known to a generation of fans as the fashionable Lisa Turtle, denies anything is wrong, but after a bizarre Yahoo! video went viral earlier this year, some questioned whether drugs played a role. Voorhies adamantly denied it. Instead, her mother says, she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
In a series of interviews with PEOPLE, it was clear something wasn't right. Voorhies, 38, would frequently stop mid-sentence and stare off, often mumbling to herself or to others who weren't there.

The general requirements for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees as well as course descriptions in Polymer Science are described in the current University Graduate Bulletin (see index for Polymer Science - course prefix 9871). These requirements are set by the Graduate School. The specific departmental requirements listed in the bulletin are set by the Department of Polymer Science. The combined requirements of the Graduate School and Department of Polymer Science represent the minimal standards for the attainment of a particular degree. As such, they do not adequately describe the concern of the DPS faculty that graduate programs also be tailored to each student's background and research interests. Consequently there are additional requirements and procedures that both the department and the research advisor impose beyond those described in the Bulletin.
84 Total Credits = (36 course credits & 48 minimum research credits); 2 cr. Seminar I & II for full-time students; formal seminar; research presentation; pass 6 cumulative exams; doctoral dissertation defense and final written dissertation; 1 year residency requirement; computer proficiency.
The doctoral degree is not awarded merely on the basis of the completion of a prescribed program of course requirements. The Ph.D. In Polymer Science is considered to be recognition that the recipient has carried out independent and original research at the prevailing advanced level of polymer science understanding.
In practice this original research is done under the guidance of a faculty member of the Polymer Science Department (see "Graduate Research Requirements", Section II). The student is assumed to have an advanced level of understanding of the principles of polymer science necessary to do research after the successful completion of course studies and cumulative or other examinations. After the public discussion of the research work both in a departmental "formal seminar" and then in a public "research presentation", the written dissertation is examined by the dissertation committee and an "oral doctoral dissertation defense" examination must be passed. A good measure of the scholarship inherit in the research can be determined by the faculty using the described procedures.
(See course descriptions in the Graduate Bulletin.)
The doctoral course program in Polymer Science consists of 36 credit hours based on a combination of:
Core Course Program - 17 credit hours (and 2 semesters of Polymer Science Seminar required of all full-time doctoral students - credits are not included in the Total Course Credits),
Elective Courses - at least 19 credit hours of elective courses appropriate to each student's area of interest.
17 credits - required for all students
4 credits of the following polymer chemistry courses:
Note: Students must take 601 and 602 unless exempted by the student's advisor on the basis of previous study.
4 credits of polymer physical chemistry courses:
4 credits of polymer physical property courses:
2 credits of the following polymer technology course:
3 credits of polymer science laboratory:
Required for Full-Time Students
(Seminar I and II are given concurrently in the Fall semester of each year. Seminar I is for first-year full-time students, and Seminar II is for second year full-time students.)
The two seminars are required for all full-time students in residence for two years, but they are not required for part-time students. Note: The two credits earned in these courses are in addition to the 36 course credits required for the Ph.D. (That is, the minimum course credits presented for graduation must be 36 credits of courses + 2 credits of Polymer Seminar).
All students in the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in DPS are required to have taken a minimum of one undergraduate or graduate level course in computer science, like the University of Akron course 3460:201, with a passing grade. Graduate students lacking such a course may demonstrate computer proficiency by taking (a) 3650:605, Computer Physics I, 3 credits, or another applicable course at UA.
The student and the student's research advisor determine the elective courses that will be taken by the student to fulfill the student's course program. The courses may be in the departments of polymer science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, computing, polymer engineering or other engineering departments. Below is a list of a typical first semester and second semester course program.
A typical first semester course program for new full-time students with no previous polymer background and no other course deficiencies would be:
9871:601 Polymer Concepts
9871:607 Polymer Science Seminar I
9871:613 Polymer Science Lab
9871:631 Physical Properties of Polymers I
9871:674 Polymer Structure & Characterization
9871:701 Polymer Technology I
9871:899 Doctoral Research
During the spring semester of the first year, and certainly by the fall semester of the second year all of the other required courses ought to have been taken to allow the student to be well prepared both to answer cumulative exam questions in the second year and also to read the polymer literature on the chosen research problem.
9871:602 Synthesis & Chemical Behavior of Polymers
9871:632 Physical Properties of Polymers II
9871:675 Polymer Thermodynamics
9871:702 Polymer Technology II
9871:899 Doctoral Research
All of the above courses provide an introductory survey of the assigned subjects, and all are taught by a team of faculty. This choice of courses and selection of teachers has two purposes:

The Artists and Writers Ball was to be an antidote or spoof of the Gasparilla parties. It was to be a themed costumed Ball that encouraged all to participate through action, spirit and costume. The first Ball, "Dante's Inferno", was held in the ballroom at the historic Cuban Club in 1978. A local welder, Sam Parker, and entertainer, Ana Tampanna, were introduced as king and queen during a procession in which Tampanna paraded through the crowd in a peacock costume. The Artists and Writers Ball became an annual event with such themes as: "Cowboys and Indians in Love", "Bad Taste in Outer Space", "The Dizzy Dali Ball", " Calhoun's Little Hawaiian Circus for the Poor", and "The B.C. Ball". It, also, expanded from the ballroom to encompass the entire four floors and patio of the Cuban Club attracting thousands of participants.
What little money was made went into other Artists and Writers Group activities, such as, a magazine called Tabloid, the Artists and Writers Cafe and a few variety shows, "Fellini's Birthday Party" and "The USO Show."
The Artists and Writers Ball eventually ended due to rising insurance rates.
In October 2006, a new incarnation of the Artists and Writers Group led by David Audet hosted its first ball, "The Reunion Ball", in 15 years.

The Steelers made a surprise move today, signing New Orleans rookie bust Al Woods to the practice squad and dropping Doug Worthington, a seventh-round pick from Ohio State who showed great promise for Pittsburgh in the preseason.
The recently released Woods was a fourth-round pick by the defending champion Saints, who actually gave up their sixth-round pick in the draft to move up to take him in the earlier part of the fourth round. The Steelers have released Fred Gibson, Orien Harris and Ryan McBean in recent years, but fourth-round picks rarely are released before their rookie season unless they are bad in training camp.
That was evidently the case with Woods, a 6-foot-4, 307-pound NT/DE who may have been drafted too early out of LSU, since many prognosticators had him going in later rounds. Saints coach Sean Payton did not speak highly of Woods following his release.
Woods, who only started 16 games for LSU, obviously has size and some talent that the Steelers will try to develop. Ideally, he could replace veteran Chris Hoke (who will be a free agent after 2010) as Casey Hampton's backup at nose tackle or veteran Nick Eason as a reserve end on the roster in 2011. But he will have to show improvement with the Steelers over the next 12 months to do so.
While I am cautiously excited about getting a free, rookie fourth-round pick for the practice squad, I was surprised and a little disappointed that the Steelers opted to keep often-injured, second-year defensive lineman Steven McLendon on the practice squad ahead of Worthington.

Amelia Curran - Spectators/
The rather matter-of-fact outpouring of the thoughtful, often devastatingly brutal observations that saturate Amelia Curran's Spectators would catch most listeners unaware and unguarded if they weren't delivered, as one critic put it, "like a bartender presents a shot." Curran's third album, produced by John Critchley, isn't so much a major step forward (her last, the more folk-oriented Hunter Hunter was just too good to make that leap) as it is a step sideways, down a path of fleshed out instrumentation and glint of a razor sharp edge. Brass, percussion, piano and strings crouch in the hidden shadows behind Curran's stark vocals and guitar, adding both immediacy and drama to her tales of what's been described as "both storm and harbour". Tracks like the superb "Years" -- easily one of the best songs we're heard in 2012 -- speak softly but carry a big emotional wallop, inviting the listener in to share in the brilliantly poetic wordplay even as you feel like you're witnessing the shock of a bloody surgical operation (of the heart, naturally). Released last month in Canada, look for Spectators to cross the border in early 2013. Watch videos below...

The first wave of Refounding Labour reforms were voted through yesterday after deals were done between the leadership and the unions. But does any of this amount to much at all? The watered-down proposals on restored supporters really does not amount to much at all to the point that I wonder what on earth is the point of it all?
By all accounts the NEC itself had precious little time to debate the Refounding Labour proposals so I suppose we can't be surprised that conference didn't either. At the NEC meeting three members voted against the proposals, Ann Black, Christine Shawcross and Johanna Baxter. All three did so because of the weight of heir (e)mailbags — all of which were massively hostile to the proposals. Given where the Party is at the moment it may seem weird to ignore such hostility but in reality this was nothing like Ed's Clause 4 moment.
Just how practical is any of this stuff? Registered members get 3% of the electoral college come a leadership election. Is this really significant? There are real practical problems in opening up more localised selections — Councillors and MPs — to include registered supporters. A selection meeting in my part of the world can take hours because of the problems in verifying membership. This is also a part of the world in which we have constant problems with the buying of mass memberships, particularly amongst those who qualify of the reduced weight. What's to stop anyone using community organisations registered with Labour to do precisely the same thing?
Last night I put some of these concerns to a long-standing member of the NEC. I was told that in all probability these changes will never actually happen because they will be so difficult to implement in practice. Indeed, the NEC has spend much of the last few years quietly disposing of the ideas of Gordon Brown for Party reform which were simply impractical.
Which brings us back to members. Remember the great days of last year when membership was booming? Not so now, in fact, the Party has lost over 10,000 members I believe since the early summer, despite Ed's heroics over Murdoch, etc.
Membership will continue to fall while Members themselves get nothing for their Membership and where their views and opinions have such little value.
Labour must see Members as one the key building blocks in Party renewal. This will mean doing things differently and no doubt reforming our structures and procedures. But it has to be seen that members are seen as important partners and not just cheap Labour for leafleting and voter ID (as important as those are).
With membership falling again this Party faces the same problem that it has faced for a decade or so now, that more and more work falls on less and less people.
I have no sense that Labour supporters — let alone members — really favour a US style system and presidential politics. Nor is there any sense that the vast number of members are anything but massively opposed to the State Funding of political parties, and suspicion remains that we are holding on for Christopher Kelly to recommend such a system.
Our renewal — our future — will depend on members. Our task is to make their voice count and to the inspiration from their passion and political drive.
More than ever — despite refunding Labour:
Labour = members.

Fantastic place to stay. Not as close as I would have liked to weymouth town itself but overall a brilliant holiday.
Apart from the poor start when the caravan we first had stunk of vomit we had a good stay. The staff quickly moved us to a better, clean smelling caravan and although very basic - you get what you pay for! It was cheap and we could take the dogs. We also took our 16 month old twin grand children and they loved it. You can walk into Weymouth beach and the outside pool was great. We plan to return.
I can't recommend Littlesea high enough. We had such a nice holiday. Staff we're helpful, our caravan was cosy and immaculate. Will definitely be going back
Awesome park..super caravans...will recommend this to everyone.
A very enjoyable holiday at Littlesea , have stayed there many times. The caravan was lovely and it was so clean, am looking forward to returning perhaps later on during the year.
Enjoyed every day
Fantastic holiday I have done holiday parks before with my family but my daughter really enjoyed this one. Will definitely be back.
Staff very helpful and friendly, good location, park small but neat and clean.
Enjoyed our stay,nice clean accommodation and site.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at littlesea. The caravan we stayed in was lovely and very clean. On our first night when going to bed we noticed there was no bedding and we had paid for it to be made on arrival. One phone call to the staff and within 10 minutes someone was at our door with the bedding for us. Apart from that everything else was brilliant. Would highly recommend littlesea and will definitely be going back in the near future.
nice holiday park,entrance through industrial estate not so good,need car for out and about,but all in all would recommend this park.
Lovely site with good facilities.
Wonderful time. We will be back. Caravan was splendid. Staff friendly. Food great!
Great location as so close to the beach and only a short drive in to Weymouth town.Facilities are very good, the only negative thing i can comment on was the standard of food for the price. Food was well cooked and presentable but overpriced. This is not enuff thou to put me off going back.
A nice place for dog walkers to stay

British universities like to think they have something to offer the rest of the world. Yet there is one area - a crucial one in the context of the universities' major source of revenue - where Britain has much to learn. I refer, of course, to the quality and facilities of on-campus living quarters.
Back in the 1950s my own introduction at Oxford to overnight accommodation accompanied the trauma of entrance examinations and interviews. A mere grammar-school boy, I lacked the hardening of a residential public-school training. A sleepless night in a cold, unheated bedroom left me ill prepared for the early-morning intrusion of my staircase 'scout' who delivered me one small jug of warm(ish) water (shaving?), a large jug of ice-cold water (washing?) and an enormous floral earthenware bowl (for standing in while shaving and washing).
Yet my interest in attending that noble institution persisted and it was as ...

No way Jose! No-one counts how many donuts are in the box by the time I get back - if I'm removed from donut duty, I'll never be able to sneak an extra donut out of the box! Snooping round the magazines saves me £1.60 in donutteryage!

Think of the people of Malta who spent years promoting their beautiful island,only to have it's reputation destroyed by the Abominable Ambassador.
But above all Daisy,for god's sake THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!
You're right...you're right. Maybe someone drugged my donuts. Here...Krispy Kreme aren't CAN clients are they??
Why do I feel sorry for him? Because I see a 40 year old man not in charge of his own destiny but instead ruled by a quest for z-listery that's slowly warping his life into something Charlie Brooker would write about. Everyone has always paid much attention to the damage KP did to the marriage, no-one really looks at the damage PA did (the were judicial mumblings that they were equally to blame were they not?). Last week we were reminded of a PA quote whereby he said WTTE of 'I knew my career would be over when my marriage ended' - which is basically just another way of saying 'I married her as a career move'. How depressing. And what a wonderful foundation on with to raise children. The silencing and tossing over the back garden fence of blonde model types while holding hands with the presentable middle class girl for the cameras. I don't think P.A is capable of separating his fame ego and his real life and emotions. Like Warren Beatty said in Madonna's documentary "What point is there existing [off camera]?" And that made me feel sorry for him.
It's ok though -I'll probably be back to normal tomorrow! I'm just rambling now haha

what are your personal photography projects for 2013 ?
This photo shows me setting up to shoot a time-lapse clip of the New York skyline from Brooklyn. The bride is a model being photographed by someone else. She just looked good as part of the composition of this shot. (photo by Peter Salo) The motive behind shooting time-lapse is no more than it's just to do something creative. You know? Something for the soul. Something to keep the interest in photography alive, and to remain motivated to create something new and interesting.
For those very reasons, I think it is essential for any photographer – in fact, any artist – to keep exploring ideas and avenues.
As this year winds down, and my workload eases up a bit, I've decided that 2013 is the year where I want to devote more time to personal projects of various kinds. I do want to explore HD video further and shoot some short clips. In fact, I've been talking to Anelisa (my favorite model), about doing a video clip centered around her, in a music video / Fashion style. I've also discussed with a friend who does boudoir photography, to do a promotional / instructional clip with her.
I have this intention that during December, I'll figure out a plan – a schedule for 2013 to be posted in my calendar – where I work on several projects during the course of the year. That's the grand scheme. To do more stuff!
let's make it interesting …
With that, I'd like to hear from others what they have been contemplating or are planning to do as personal photography projects for 2013? What has caught your interest and what has intrigued you enough that you'd like to get into? What themes or ideas or techniques do you want to explore?
So let's make it fun, and inspire each other.

Adrian Furnham on how to reach the laggards as well as the innovation junkies
Perhaps the greatest testimony to the speed of technical innovation in the latter decades of the 20th century is the piles of redundant computers, many barely three years old, relegated to cupboards and store rooms. Computers on the market are soon replaced by smaller, even more powerful, colourful and user-friendly models.
High-tech equipment, once the preserve of the rich or simply dotty, is everywhere - the office, the kitchen, the bedroom and the car. International comparisons show that despite their proclaimed love of tradition and natural conservatism, the British are relatively quick on the uptake when it comes to accepting new technology. But what determines the uptake? Which type of person gets in first and why? And who are those souls who have to be dragged kicking and screaming into the 20th century?
There are various ...

THE opposition MDC-T party's UK branch will hold protests this Saturday to call the "world's attention to the oppressive regime" in Zimbabwe as well as demand the recall of the European Union's Harare envoy.
The branch, aligned to the Morgan Tsvangirai-led MDC, wants EU Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Aldo Dell'Ariccia, recalled for allegedly "misinforming" the world about the situation in the country.
Activists said the demonstrations would be staged in the West Midlands City of Birmingham at noon on Saturday.
Ambassador Aldo Dell'Ariccia angered opposition activists last month when he said there was no leadership crisis in Zimbabwe, emphatically stating that President Robert Mugabe, 90 years old this year, was fully in charge of the country.
The envoy however, made clear he was speaking as a political analyst and not a diplomat but that made no difference to opposition parties.
"There is a deteriorating political and economic situation in Zimbabwe which Western countries do not seem to understand, especially the European Union which is being misinformed by its Ambassador in Harare," MDC Birmingham branch chair Paul Kazingizi, said in a statement Monday.
"We are calling for the EU to recall this ambassador, and to start implementing a rational policy on Zimbabwe. We hear that the EU is now set to totally relax the remaining targeted sanctions on President Mugabe's family on November 1.
The envoy's comments were in keeping with a move by the EU to improve relations with Harare after maintaining sanctions against Mugabe and his Zanu PF party for more than a decade.
The sanctions were lifted in February this year except on Mugabe and his wife, Grace, although the EU expressed concern over last year's elections which were dismissed as fraudulent by Tsvangirai.
The MDC-T UK branch said the EU moved to remove sanctions despite Mugabe doing nothing to address is concerns regarding the conduct of the elections which he won with a landslide majority.
After the 2013 vote, Brussels stated that significant improvements were required if future elections were to be credible and urged Harare to ensure "progress on verification of the voter's roll, liberalization of the media, and completing outstanding reforms, including those related to the security sectors".
"The Harare regime has not only failed to do even one of the above, but also refused to implement constitutional amendments passed by Parliament, which would protect free and fair elections. Zimbabweans now believe that the 2018 general election has already been rigged," said Kazingizi in his statement.
"But while it is the EU's prerogative to relax the targeted sanctions that it imposed on President Mugabe because of his violations of human rights, the EU should not try to convince us, the victims of those violations, that something has changed."
The MDC UK said Mugabe and his lieutenants were not suitable candidates for EU sanctions relief given that they had renewed land seizures.
"And only last week the state President encouraged seizures of white-owned farms - the same ruinous and racist economic policies that have now seen the economy deteriorating to crisis levels. Ambassador Dell 'Aricca is, therefore, clearly out of touch with what is going on in Zimbabwe," Kazingizi added.
"We continue to demand free and fair elections in Zimbabwe, especially now in order to rescue Zimbabwe's future which is clearly in peril with President Mugabe's misrule and corruption.

Shark Teeth Pearly White | Yankee Classic
"Fin!" shouts Hotz, pointing. All heads turn. The shark, a blue perhaps six feet long, heads straight for the Snappa and then glides under the stern, paying no mind to the bloody tuna carcass as it continues on its way. Donilon leans over the rail, first to starboard and then to port. "He's a little finicky right now," he says, but his eyes are dancing.
The next hour brings more of the same: fins, swirls, and glimpses, but little boatside action. Charlie guesses that a single shark has followed the chum slick to the boat, and it is very wary. Then two more sharks arrive, and the big predators are suddenly at ease. They approach the Snappa for a display. Sleek as panthers, they move effortlessly through the water, banking this way and that with the slightest adjustments of their fins. They take turns investigating the swim ladder. Assuming almost vertical poses, the blues nibble the bronze, making loud grinding noises. Charlie sizes up the three of them: a six- and a 6-1/2-footer, he says, each going perhaps 120 pounds, and a 7-1/2-footer, which he estimates at 160 pounds.
Clear water, bright skies, three sharks: Charlie 's trip is on the verge of success. He calls together his customers. "Somebody go in," he says. "Somebody put on your gear and get in the water."
As the group prepares its equipment, Donilon cautions the divers again. The water is 200 feet deep, and the sunlight illuminates it only about 25 feet down. "Don't get far from the cage," he says. "Sometimes people get comfortable with the blue sharks, and they forget there could be a white shark or a tiger hanging out of sight."
Gerhard and Hotz are first over the side. They drop off the stem and make loud splashes. Startled, the sharks shoot out of sight, and the two men sink to about six feet and kick slowly for the cage. As they open the door and enter its sanctuary, the sharks return. Creatures of their element, they blend almost invisibly into the swells. When they pass in front of the aluminum cage, they show up in relief, instantly like planes gliding out of the clouds.
The sharks circle the cage lazily. From his vantage point on deck, Charlie can see the scuba bubbles rising to the surface in bursts. The divers are breathing hard, excited. Donilon watches closely, but then his bait rope grows suddenly tight, and he yanks it back. One of the sharks has found the tuna, and Donilon uses the rope to lure the shark slowly toward the boat. It follows the bait, its teeth bared and tail thrashing.
Gerhard and Hotz will have 20 minutes, and then Kirkpatrick and Strout will get their turn, in a rotation that will continue as long as sharks stay nearby. For Kirkpatrick, this dive is a chance to confront her fear. This is only her second season diving, and she admits she often has sharks on her mind. "Are sharks like dogs?" she asks Donilon. "Can they sense when you're afraid?"
Donilon tries to answer. Like many people who have dived among sharks, Donilon says that sharks rarely attack. On shore, NMFS biologist Wes Pratt agrees. "They really seem to know what they're doing," says Pratt. "Even though they've been lured in by the scent of food, they seem to know we aren't the menu." But out on the Snappa. Donilon tells Kirkpatrick that wild animals are wild animals, and sharks are predictable only to a point. He tells her the Snappa' s complete diving record. In all, eight divers have been bitten in his chartering career, but only one was injured, a woman who was grabbed by the seat of her wet suit as she was climbing the dive ladder. She needed 15 stitches to close the wound. Bites are bad, of course, but Donilon doesn't dwell on them. Blue sharks are a fairly docile species with teeth about exactly as thick as a wet suit, which means their bites usually amount to the marine equivalent of a heavy gumming. The other seven bite victims had no breaks in the skin, he says.
Looking at Kirkpatrick, it is hard to tell if Donilon's dissertation has made her feel better or worse. But she has on all of her gear- wet suit, belt, tank, mask, regulator, and knife. She looks game for the dive.
Gerhard and Hotz leave the cage. The men swim back to the boat, trailing a wake of bubbles. There are five sharks now, and the largest shows an even stronger interest in the swim ladder. After raking its teeth across the bottom rung, it drops off and then gracefully returns, rubbing its long back along it, like a big cat, until with a flick of its tail it rushes away, surprisingly fast as it disappears.

Ambrose goal downs Canaries
Charlton will play Sheffield United in the fourth round of the FA Cup after winning 1-0 at Norwich.
Last Updated: 13/01/09 10:14pm
Charlton will play Sheffield United in the fourth round of the FA Cup following a 1-0 win over Norwich City in their replay at Carrow Road.
Both sides are struggling form-wise in the Championship, but the Addicks will take a win from anywhere and Darren Ambrose's early goal was enough to see them progress at the expense of Glenn Roeder's side.
With Sheffield United putting Leyton Orient to the sword on Tuesday night, Charlton, who are bottom of the Championship, will now face Kevin Blackwell's men in the fourth round at Bramall Lane.
The Addicks, who last tasted success against Norwich's East Anglian rivals Ipswich on October 4, needed just six minutes to take the lead.
They almost opened the scoring moments earlier when Deon Burton's 25-yard volley was kept out by City goalkeeper David Marshall - but Ambrose made no mistake from 12 yards.
No penalty
Ten minutes later, City striker Arturo Lupoli went down in the penalty area. But referee Clive Oliver was not interested.
Norwich, now without a win in five games since beating Charlton 1-0 in the league at Carrow Road on December 20, failed to create a clear-cut opportunity throughout the opening 45 minutes.
City came close to an equaliser 10 minutes into the second half. David Bell delivered a corner which was met by Carl Cort, making his first start for the club, but Addicks goalkeeper Darren Randolph produced an excellent save to tip the ball away for a corner.
From the resulting set-piece, Josh Wright could only clear the ball to Sammy Clingan 20 yards out - but the Northern Ireland international could not find the target.
Only a stunning stop from Marshall prevented Charlton from doubling their advantage in the 61st minute, the Scot keeping out Mark Hudson's header.
Header wide
Lupoli then flashed a header wide, before Wes Hoolahan replaced Cort in the 67th minute as Norwich attempted to find the equaliser. The former Blackpool midfielder was straight into the action and within three minutes tested Randolph from the edge of the box.
Another City substitute also nearly made an immediate impact. Darel Russell, on for Mark Fotheringham, met a Lee Croft cross inside the box but failed to test Randolph.
Teenage star Jonjo Shelvey, who scored his first senior goal in the initial tie at The Valley earlier this month, nearly added another nine minutes from time - but Marshall made a comfortable save to keep out his 25-yard effort.
Norwich had a chance to force extra-time in injury-time, but Lupoli saw his header blocked by Jonathan Fortune.Full-time was greeted with boos from the disgruntled home fans.

It's the season of present purchasing and gift giving, but holiday shopping can make many consumers vulnerable to over spending.
Falling into a hole of deep debt can spoil holiday cheer but it can be done without breaking the bank.
Associate Professor of Retail Management at Texas Tech, Deborah Fowler, said her top tip is to use debit instead of credit.
"If you use your debit card there's not an infinite amount of money to use so you'll more than likely stay on budget," Fowler said.
Also, avoid department store credit cards.
"It actually impacts your credit rating because every time you take out a credit card or cancel a credit card it impacts your credit rating," Fowler said.
Fowler adds, don't be tempted by first purchase discounts.
"In the long run there's probably not any point to it. You might save $10 today, but you might turn around and spend more interest than what you saved," Fowler said.
Another shopping tactic is to make a detailed list and stick to it.
"I'm at that point now where going 'oh, I'll just pick up one more thing, and one more thing.' Then you realize you're getting out of control," Fowler said.
One way to avoid that habit is to take time to pre-shop.
"Look on the web. Look at other places. Go to other places and check out the prices. You'll be surprised sometimes at the price you'll be able to get if you just check it out," Fowler said.
Take a look at technology too. Cell phone apps can be a money saving tool.
"One of them is Red Laser. You can scan in the bar code of Red Laser and look at the prices at different places and do price checks," Fowler said.
Being a smart shopper also means being a safe shopper.
"Really be careful as a shopper. There are people watching you punch in your pin number, checking all sorts of things about you, even following you to your car," Fowler said.
Fowler also said she utilizes layaway as another way to save green during the holiday season.

Zoori for me is simply an inspiration to participate in the healing process of the earth and the human being. We can clearly see today, now, through the internet and in our own lives that the world is not what we once believed it to be, or imagined it to be. The world seems to be trapped in a repetitive recycling of history with all of it's injustice and suffering. Through my eyes it is clear that there is no other choice at the moment, and out of necessity, we need to begin the change from an existence of competition to an existence of cooperation, and sharing and that is what the Zoori project is.
Through the inspiration of Zoori, an ancient technology and art form of traditional Japanese farmers, we would like to be an instrument for the revitalization and facilitation of the creative nature inherent in children who have experienced deep trauma, pain, humiliation, fear through war and disease, in order to reawaken in them there natural right, to create unconditionally, and to share those creations in order to build a self sustainable community.
Through the art of sharing and creativity we will learn new things together, build on those new things together, learn about relationships together, discover solutions to obstacles that arise together, and ultimately stand by each other together. So we begin Zoori as a movement of cooperation, a movement of a few human beings together learning about each other through sharing, and about how to bring the reality of sharing to our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world. Together we are spreading the message of sharing through the honest language of action.
