Crysis 1 + 2, Mass Effect 1 + 2, BfBC2 + Bf3, Xonotic and Red Eclipse are my favourites, but I also enjoy playing golden oldies like Star Wars Battlefront 2, GTA:SA, Re-volt, Tachyon, Crimson Skies and Grand Prix Legends). I play the piano and bass guitar (bit of a noob on the bass though!) and I love rocking out to GN'R, Iron Maiden, Rush, Black Sabbath and other awesome bands.

What's New at Sugarbush
Sugarbush Living. Healthiest in the country.
There are many reasons to make Vermont your home (or second home). Much is said and written about its picturesque beauty and charming country character. What many of us who live here know is that there is a certain quality of life that goes well beyond scenic landscapes and quaint villages. But don't just take our word for it, the United Health Foundation just named Vermont the healthiest state in the country for the sixth year running.
Now maybe we've all heeded the advice of folk artist Bo Muller-Moore who exhorts all of us to EAT MORE KALE. But maybe there is a little more to it than that. My inclinations are to believe that a lot of us live or come here quite simply to be healthy and live a healthy lifestyle. That's what Sugarbush Living is all about. Sugarbush and the Mad River Valley are a place where you can be healthy year round. Whether hiking in the fall, skiing rather than hibernating in the winter, running in the Mad Triathlon in the spring or heading to the Waitsfield Farmers Market in the summer for some organic locally-grown produce, it's easy to see why Vermonters lead such healthy lives.

High-speed broadband can help doctors and hospitals deliver state-of-the-art care, particularly to the underserved communities most in need.
Last week, the FCC announced a joint meeting with the FDA to discuss how to implement the Broadband Plan's recommendation to get innovative wireless medical devices to consumers as quickly and safely as possible.
As exciting as this is, it is just a hint at the possibilities that broadband innovation holds for health care in America. For example, telemedicine is a promising field that can help rural communities stay safe and healthy.
Neil in Abilene, Texas
Citizens of rural Texas communities have very little, if any, access to professional medical care. Telemedicine brings critically needed medical care to rural communities; however, without broadband services Telemedicine is physically impossible.
Medical providers are willing to see patients over a Telemedicine system, the technology exists to make Telemedicine a reality, and patients are willing to see providers via Telemedicine. Until a broadband system is in place to provide the needed bandwidth Telemedicine will never reach the citizens that truly need the services. Rural Texas needs the bandwidth to make Telemedicine a reality for these small communities that otherwise may not have a hospital, doctor, clinic, or other healthcare provider.
Access to health care and information is an issue for many providers as well. Without broadband, health care professionals can be stifled in their work and professional development.
Betsy in Morgantown, West Virginia
As a faculty member in the West Virginia University School of Pharmacy and also as President, West Virginia Pharmacists Association, I applaud the government for recognizing the vital role that establishing targeted nationwide, Broadband access has in health care.
Studies have shown consistently that pharmacists are the most accessible health care provider and that patients access their pharmacist many more times per week than other health care providers. However, limited access to Internet (many times due to geographic difficulties) in West Virginia makes timely use of important Internet based drug and medical information resources difficult.
As all pharmacists in WV, I am required by newly passed 2010 state law to have access to our state's online Controlled Substances Monitoring Program. This program serves to provide a database of patient prescription information, as it relates to "filled prescriptions" for controlled substances, to decrease patient misuse and divergence of controlled substances. However, I can not access the Internet site on a consistent basis to effectively utilize the resource. In addition, I am required to document my patient care responsibilities for patients I see through our state insurance program's (PEIA) Diabetes Face-to-Face Program. Again, my access is so slow that I can not provide timely documentation of the patient care services that I provide.
The National Broadband Plan is exciting to me because it may offer an avenue for fellow pharmacists in WV to have better access to the Internet. This access could improve the safety, welfare, and overall quality of life for the patients that I serve. With improved access, I will be able to better serve my patients with timely, accurate responses to their medication and health related questions and ensure a safer medication use system in my area.
The National Broadband Plan can help drive real health care reform, but we must continue making strides towards greater accessibility and affordability of both health care and broadband services. Please continue to share your stories with us and check out the broadband plan to learn about the recommendations for health care.

Best Night Ever: Sunday, August 20th!
It's Best Night Ever for Sunday, August 20th! Michael is here to walk you through the best of Sunday night tv, including Big Brother, Girls Next Door, and Flavor of Love!
Best Of The Best Week Ever!
Just because it's August, doesn't mean there weren't some incredible revelations this week:
- Kate Hudson wastes no divorcee time, leaving her husband Chris Robinson to reveal a sordid affair with Dupree co-star Owen Wilson
- Nicole Richie still not eating. But damn it to hell if it stops her wearing toddler's bikinis.
- Andy Dick proves he's still the craziest man in Hollywood, even though he loves the Jews… unlike some people.
- Madonna's Cameltoe has a Myspace page. We're still waiting for Fabio's Mooseknuckle to add us as a friend.
- And finally, your favorite characters of the internet band together to finally realize that dream you've had a number of times but were always too embarassed to tell anyone about.
Have a great weekend all!
- LOOKING GOOD, FEELING NOT SO HOT MOMENT: We are officially putting movie critic Roger Ebert on a Nicole Richie watch. Apparently, tumors on your salivary glands do wonders to your appearance. (LA Daily News)
- METHOD ACTOR: Remember Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite? The muscle-clad guy who used to rough up Nappy the Dyn Dyn? Well, apparently he's like that in real life too. (E! Online)
- GUILTY FACES: Much like reading coffee dregs, analyzing the possible post-coital guilt on the faces of Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson seems like a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon. It isn't really, but still. (CityRag)
- HOMONYM ALERT: Menopause for a moment, and send Barry Manilow a" Get Well" card. He had hip surgery, and we're assuming they mean his actual hip bone. We're not sure how we would feel about a Barry Manilow in cute jeans that listened to Death Cab. (Associated Press)
- REALITY STAR OF THE MINUTE: America's Got Talent winner, 11-year-old Bianca Ryan, plans on donating part of the $1 million cash prize to her favorite charities, including the "Whatever I Want At Toys R' Us Fund" and "Emancipated Children Dot Org." (Philadelphia Daily News)
ICYMI: One Big Dick
I know we live in an age in which we prefer our celebrity hijinx to be on convenient YouTube clips, but sometimes the magic happens off-camera and there's nothing you can do about it, which is why we salute NY Post writer Mandy Stadtmiller for her painstaking trascription of what can only be described as the Most Amazing Celebrity Encounter Ever. Her front row seat to the carnival of human insanity that is Andy Dick inspired her to a write a one-act adaptation of the time they spent together, and the result is a work of such power and beauty, it could never possibly be realized by mere mortal. If this interaction had been captured on video and uploaded onto YouTube, the entire Internet would have exploded before even one of us had a chance to watch the clip (which undoubtedly would have immediately rendered the viewer blind and brain-damaged). Put on your reading glasses and take the time to pore over one woman's brush with the supernatural.
Nicole Richie Nose Something We Don't
Check out these comparison shots of Nicole Richie… doesn't it look like she had a little help in the nose shaping department?
And we're not the first people to notice, either. Or is it possible to lose 3 pounds from your nose from constant cocaine use alone?
ICYMI: Unintentional Anti-Drug Messages
Our friends over at CRACKED have compiled a pretty YouTubular list of the "5 Most Obviously Drug-Fueled TV Appearances Ever". These are really fun to watch, but some glaring omissions include The Hoff on American Idol, Alan Thicke on that celebrity cooking show that got cancelled, and Liz Taylor on pretty much every Academy Awards program in the last 50 years. Here's a sneak peek, but be sure to enjoy them all – and say no to drugs (especially if you're Crispin Glover)!
En Ess Eff Dubs Alert: PornoTube
If you are not a fan of pornography, or if you have an actual realtown day job, might we suggest that you stop reading this post immediately. For the rest of you, divert your attention away from the porno flick you're watching and check this out! The nakies world of filmmaking has responded to the highly successful YouTube phenomenon with their own herpes-infested version: Pornotube. All the videos are free, and uploading your own amateurish clips couldn't be any more simplex, too. We have literally spent hours surfing through their clips (research, folks, relax), and let us tell you there is some high quality porking going on, involving oodles of girls who were likely-to-obvs molested by their dads, and men who just love to get laid. File Pornotube under "ideas we wish we had if we weren't so busy watching porno."
And for those readers under 18, don't even try going to the site. There's a highly clever barrier set up to prevent your perusal, so clever, in fact, that one would have to lie about their age to get past it. Saw-rryyyyy.
LISTEN UP: A Daily Dose of the Best Music Ever
- Pull off your cadigan sweaters, pick up your Camus, and put on some SPF 80 sunblock, because Skatterbrain has posted the Totally Twee Super Summer Mega Mix.
- The Smudge of Ashen Fluff takes their bizarre name and hops on The Bicycles bandwagon. Go pop a wheelie!
- *Sixeyes has a sick sixpack with six songs from the Spinto Band. Say that really fast six times.
- Said the Gramophone gives you a nice Sunset Rubdown with a new track from the Wolf Parade frontman's side project.
- I know it's not really an mp3, but the Radiohead's "No Surprises" & Paul Thomas Anderson's "Punch-Drunk Love" mash-up video over at EC,EU is too awesome to ignore.
What Do You Get The Celebrity Who Has Everything?
Why, his or her profile carved into a block of wood, of course! TurnYourHead.com takes a digital image of your profile, and then carves it into a block of wood, making your classic "Is it a vase or identical twins making out?" optical illusion come to life. The result is a pretty cool way to immortalize your post-caveman browbone, and it's the perfect gift for celebrities already obsessed with their appearance. In fact, try to get the vase carved pre-plastic surgery! How much fun would it be for Ashlee Simpson to put her new WASP-y mug into her old profile's sillouhette, proving she in fact can fit her fist in the negative space. It's like an ugly girl's version of fat pants! (Link via PopGadget)

Interesting Careers
An interesting career in psychological science: Strategic consultant at NASA
By Kathryn Keeton
Kathryn E. Keeton
PhD (2008)—Industrial/Organizational Psychology
University of Houston
Innovation & Strategy Coordinator
Houston, Texas
My career in psychology began when I was an undergraduate. I always knew that I wanted to major in psychology, but wasn't really sure what I wanted to end up doing. I was interested in criminal psychology but didn't know if the job demands would be a good fit for me. Then I fortuitously landed a research assistantship with Robert Helmreich, a renowned social psychologist at the University of Texas at Austin. Helmreich pursued research on group behavior in challenging environments and was a leader in defining concepts of teamwork, leadership and group dynamics. Being a part of his lab provided a chance to see how psychological concepts were applied in real world settings in ways that had measurable, positive impacts. Helmreich and his lab worked with airline, medical and aerospace industries and their work was ground-breaking; it was inspiring to be working with such an impressive group of people. From this experience, I decided to pursue a graduate degree in industrial/organizational (I/O) psychology as it would provide a career path that I felt would really make a positive difference in others' lives.
After my undergraduate years, I went on to complete my doctorate at the University of Houston in I/O psychology. Here too I feel that my experiences were invaluable as my program helped students build a strong foundation in the content of psychological concepts with an equal focus on research and applied aspects of psychology. I know that this strong foundational base serves me today as I still utilize much of what I learned from my program. During graduate school, I also had the opportunity to consult with numerous companies and gain highly relevant, applied experience — thanks to the efforts of my tireless graduate advisor, Christiane Spitzmueller. Because both a master's thesis and a dissertation were requirements of my program, I also spent a significant amount of time fine-tuning my skills to critically evaluate information, write research proposals, carry out research studies and write full research papers.
With my PhD in hand, I focused on finding work that would have significant and positive impacts within organizations. After a short time in my first position at a hospital in Houston that helped me continue to develop my organizational development skills, I was asked to apply for a position as a contractor with Enterprise Advisory Services Incorporated (EASI) working for the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA). At first I was hesitant as the job requirements were heavily focused on research — but after my interviews, I knew that this job would be a great fit for my interests. For four years I managed research on teams (e.g., team selection, composition, training, team performance) for NASA in preparation for long duration spaceflight. NASA's Human Research Program is developed around mission risk and my job was to identify what kind of research on teams was needed in order to mitigate risks associated with long duration spaceflight. Ultimately, I managed the research that was conducted through grants by expert researchers throughout the United States. These researchers were working to produce deliverables that would help alleviate these risks (e.g., identify selection requirements for a spaceflight team that would work and live together for three years) in order to ensure successful missions to Mars and other distant places. I loved this job not only because it involved research that was having real impact on how long duration missions would be designed, but also because it was a great hybrid of both the operational environment (e.g., actual space missions working with ground controllers, flight surgeons and astronauts) and research (designing future missions based on the results of studies we were carrying out). I also got to work with some amazing people, both expert team researchers as well as those experts that were managing ongoing missions for NASA.
In the past year, I accepted a new position with Wyle to support the establishment of a Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation (CoECI) at NASA. NASA continues to identify new and creative ways to solve problems and has been recognized by the federal Office of Science and Technology Policy for its efforts to pilot many new open innovation platforms for solutions. In this position, I now manage the implementation of an internal virtual platform for the NASA community to crowdsource ideas and solve problems. This virtual platform allows anybody who works for NASA to post problems they are working with and seek answers from other NASA employees across the agency. This type of platform is in support of open innovation and strives to reduce silos within our agency. In addition to managing this internal platform and supporting efforts on behalf of the CoECI, I am also working on a project to help create cultural change within our agency so that individuals are more aware, more accepting and more willing to utilize these open innovation strategies in their jobs on a daily basis. This position has been a great learning experience for me as I get to work with colleagues from diverse professional backgrounds; our hybrid team includes information technology professionals, marketing and communication strategists, human factors folks and those from education and business management.
Although working in a governmental agency can have its drawbacks (e.g., dealing with bureaucracy, the slow pace of change, the top-heavy organizational structure), I feel that the pros far outweigh the cons for this type of position. Not only have I had the opportunity to always have challenging, meaningful work, but I have been able to see the positive impacts of this work. I have had opportunity to hone both my research and applied I/O skills, to enjoy a position that still allows me to maintain my work-life balance and to work with some wonderful and immensely interesting and talented people.
As I look back on my experiences, I can offer the following advice:
Follow your interests — my graduate advisor recommended that I pick something I was very interested in when I was selecting my dissertation topic, as it would be something I would have to work on day in and day out for a long time. I think this advice translates to your career as well: follow what you are interested in and what moves you so you will be happy to get up every day and go to work. It makes a big difference to enjoy the work you put such a significant amount of time into on a daily basis.
Be open to unplanned possibilities — I thought that I always wanted to work in an applied aspect for my career, but my first job at NASA exposed me to a hybrid position including both research and applied work, which I enjoyed immensely. Had I never been open to something outside of what I thought my desires were, I would have never accepted this opportunity. Be open to what you don't know as it may turn out to be just the thing you wanted!
Take your education seriously — every single day as I work with colleagues and am engrossed in my daily tasks, I am more aware of how critical a strong educational foundation is in order to be successful. It's not worth taking shortcuts in classes or on research papers, in learning how to conduct studies or in learning how to properly analyze data. It's worth every painstaking minute you invest into building a strong educational base and expanding your expertise and knowledge in as many areas as possible.

Online college-level education is booming, with Silicon Valley's Coursera and its 1.8 million enrollees leading the way. Early versions haven't provided transferable college credit at real-world universities. But Courera hopes to eliminate that gap — through the unusual method of having students take exams from the convenience of their laptops, with proctors watching them via webcam.
Coursera today announced that it is working with the American Council on Education to develop a way that online courses can be taken for credit. The ACE is a coalition of 1,800 higher-education institutions, ranging from Harvard to Honolulu Community College. It runs a "college credit recommendation service" that member schools can use — if they want — to award transfer credit for work done in programs such as Coursera.
Coursera's founders, Stanford computer science professors Daphne Koller and Andrew Ng, declined to say last week how many of their 200 or so course offerings will be submitted for ACE credit. But they indicated it will be quite a small number at first — perhaps five or 10. Ng said Coursera will submit classes from different disciplines, attempting to establish that Coursera students can win real college credit in a wide range of fields.
Relying on webcams for proctoring is a new twist. Coursera and other champions of large-scale online courses until recently have been talking mostly about having students come into traditional exam halls if they wanted to take tests for credit. That way, in-person proctors could check identification to be sure that the enrolled student wasn't sending a surrogate to take the test. Proctors' relentless stares also would ensure that students didn't pass answers back and forth.
Ng, in an interview, said he believes that webcam proctoring can accomplish both those goals effectively. He also pointed out that with Coursera's classes attracting students from dozens of countries around the world, a webcam-based approach will make it easier for students anywhere to take tests for credit, without having to travel potentially unreasonable distances to an exam site.
Coursera said it will charge "a modest fee" for students wanting to take these proctored exams. It didn't specify how much that would be. Small sums from many students could add up, though. Most business models for operators of massively open online courses (MOOCs) rely heavily on exam revenue to cover costs and generate a potential return for investors.

As club players we all want gun bats that last for years.
But the way bats are made means that you are going to have to choose between the two.
You see, each piece of willow was once a living thing. Each one has the variety of attributes associated with something found in the wild.
Bat makers will tell you that as each piece of wood is different it is hard to find any correlation between the numbers of grains and how well a bat will perform.
The number of grains can however give you an idea of how the bat will work over time.
The more grains on a bat, the stronger the wood.
This means the bat maker can afford to press the bat less to strengthen it initially, thus making the bat springier; giving the bat good 'ping' or better rebound attributes.
These bats have a shorter life time as they are pressed less hard; hence why pros use narrow grain bats to take advantage of these attributes with a disposable attitude if they break.
They can afford to chuck a broken one away several times a season.
Us mere mortals that have to buy our own bats need to strike a better balance.
A wider grain bat will need to be pressed more during its crafting. These bats have a longer life time due to their 'harder' feel.
A good way to think about it is that narrower grain bats will score runs quicker often from a shorter life time compared with a wider grain bat, that will score just as many runs but over a longer period.
Which do you prefer when looking for a bat?

No matter how you look at food and nutrition the truth is that every person on the face of the earth needs these six nutrients to be healthy.
The amounts each individual needs varies but everyone needs these six nutrients to stay healthy .
1. Protein: Protein is needed for growth and for healing. Any extra is used as energy. Protein is made up of 12 essential amino-acids. Soy is the only plant-based food that contains all the amino-acids. Cheese and other dairy products also contain them. Other foods containing protein are nuts,seeds,grains and pulses. They are good sources of protein but don't contain all the amino-acids.
2. Fats: Fats are required for energy;fat-stores help the you maintain body heat. Foods that contain fat also include the fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K. Fats are also important to many body functions. However, most people eat the wrong kinds of fat or too much fat.
Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. It comes in two forms; starches and sugars. There are refined and unrefined versions. Refined sugars are found in soft drinks, cakes and cookies. Unrefined sugar is found in fruits,vegetables and juices. Refined starches are found in white flour,bread,rice and pasta as well as processed breakfast cereals. Unrefined starches are found in potatoes,pulses and dried beans ,whole grain cereals,bread and flour . In all cases unrefined is the most nutritious.
Vitamins: Vitamins are essential for growth and for the healthy maintenance of the body. There are two types: fat-soluble and water-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins are the B vitamin group and vitamin C. They cannot be stored in the body, so it is important that you eat foods containing these every day. These vitamins are easily dissolved in water and destroyed by heat, so be careful when preparing foods rich in Vitamin C. Don't over cook them or leave them immersed in water for too long. Fat- soluble vitamins are A,D,E and K. They need food and fats to be processed by the body.
Minerals: Calcium and iron are the two essential minerals. Calcium is needed for strong bones and teeth; iron for healthy bloo-cells and muscle growth. Calcium-rich foods are milk and cheese,dried fruit,bread,flour,pulses and some green vegetable. Iron is mainly found in egg-yolks,whole grain cereals,green leafy vegetables and chocolate.
Water: It is vital that you maintain your fluid levels with regular drinks. However, water is really the only drink that will satisfy your body's need for fluid. Other drinks just don't cut it. Try to drink at least 6 8 oz. glasses a day. Although it does depend on your size and job.
Do you get all of these essential nutrients everyday?
Do you drink enough water?

Way back in those days, my father who attended Ahmadu Bello University in the 70s, always lamented to us about how excellent the academic environment was, such that a university like ABU was comparable to any other university in the world, both in terms of teaching and research. This was and is still evident from the manner in which ABU's earlier graduates have excelled in their chosen fields of endeavour both in the public and private sectors of the economy. For that, ABU was known as Nigeria's famous and most prestigious university.
It recently made an indelible mark in the pages of history after producing the first Nigerian president (Umaru Musa Yar'adua) to ever attend a university! This is also a university that is known as the most populous in Africa south of the Sahara. This may have resulted from the fact that ABU has the whole of Northern Nigeria as its catchments area when it comes to issuing out admissions to new students - a factor which makes it markedly different from any other university in the country.But as days went by, military men who practically understood nothing about university education came into power and gradually, the university system as a whole started approaching a terrible doom where lawlessness became the order of the day. Academic facilities started turning out to be insufficient for the ever-growing population of students; lecturers who are not well paid and who no longer enjoyed the teaching profession but are still in the job in order to make ends meet developed cowardly attitudes of openly requesting bribe ŌĆśin cash and kind' from students in order to pass their ŌĆśprey' students.
In the course of time, therefore, the attitude of students towards fetching out the ŌĆśsubstance' of university education gradually declined. After all, a one-unit course may not go above a thousand naira; two-units for two thousand naira and so on as is the case in some universities. Lecturers represent themselves in the class by issuing handouts to students at prices they wish, while taking note of those who buy the handouts and those who do not, so that these handouts will secretly constitute a prerequisite towards achieving a reasonable grade in the course concerned. The issue of massive failure of students following frustrations cast in the minds of the lecturers is also on the increase as most hardworking students hardly scale above a third class degree.However, all of these happen because there is no ruling body that is ready to look into such issues, whereas students who have been victims of such problems have nowhere to take their problems to. The inefficiency of record-keeping is most rampant amongst our universities today. It is hard to find any student in any public university who has not faced the problem of record-keeping at one time or the other in his university career. Usually, results are being mixed up, grades interchanged, thus giving merit to undeserving students and subsequently de-meriting the deserving ones; more rarely the untraceable loss of all documentations about a student. This often leads to rash decisions by the university Senate to send the affected students out of the university on grounds that they have no records, which makes them non-members of the department in good standing and therefore are declared ŌĆśillegal students' hence withdrawn. But the activities of our lecturers have sometimes resulted in grave revolts from the students, where they sometimes issue out threats of all sorts to the lives of their lecturers. Although this has not yet been recorded in Nigeria, in America, there were incidences where angry students shoot people at random in both secondary and university levels. The most recent happened in Virginia Tech, in Virginia State where a student named Cho Seung-Hui murdered scores of his fellow students and lecturers before finally killing himself. Another incident was that of the Columbine High School in Colorado where two final-year students, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, staged what is today known and documented as ŌĆśColumbine massacre'. These students were thought to be calm-looking and soft-hearted that none amongst their peers and teachers ever imagined that they were capable of involving themselves in this ŌĆśmini-genocidal' act. They later killed themselves after they were satisfied that their minds had been relieved of the long-planned massacre.
We certainly don't pray for such inhuman acts to transgress over to our society here in Africa, but if I am a lecturer in any of our public universities, I will be ever-ready for that bullet that may come from students at anytime, especially if I know that I am not the ŌĆśeasy-relating' and ŌĆśall-embracing' type. With the never-ending problems faced by our universities today, various metamorphoses have been recorded, as lecturers flee from such universities into the political society since the university job is no longer prestigious.
Professors who used to be world-renowned and their achievements often celebrated, have gone into professing lies at our various levels of government like the present-day Senate. On the other hand, the unfortunate ones still in the teaching profession are always ready with their CVs in case they come across any political appointment outside the university where they can accumulate government funds to themselves and their immediate families. This is the reason why today you have a thousand and one PhDs in politics or occupying many political positions like senatorial seats, governors, House members and their ilk, failing to remember that PhDs are best meant for the academia.
With this and many other things, the world or better still the advanced world never takes Nigerians with indigenous degrees serious, because they believe that anything from our universities is simply fatuous. Nigerians in the Diaspora are in good positions to attest to these facts as they have openly been discriminated against in the international job market. It has been said that many Nigerians especially those who fled the country through the American Visa Lottery programme are engaged in some godforsaken jobs over there in the United States.
I have heard of Master's degree holders (who obtained their degrees here) often work as night-watchmen, and so it can be safely stated that these people have failed even in the most prosperous land ever known throughout the history of human civilisation. They have failed in "God's own country, man's own paradise"; they have repeatedly failed in the land of the free and home to the brave courtesy of our so-called Nigerian public universities that instilled in them a ŌĆśNeanderthal' knowledge.
The only way out for those who have failed is to go back to the classroom, to learn in the modern way and no longer the traditional way they were used to, and subsequently, obtain world-class degrees so that they may be employed in a somewhat more lucrative organisation. Consequently, it is a welcome development that Nigerians are beginning to realise the importance of establishing private universities by the day. These private universities will serve as a model to fight the corruption in the fabric of our public universities. Although most of them are expensive in terms of tuition, but it can be guaranteed that they will be less expensive as they continue to flourish over time, so that average Nigerians can one day afford to send their children to some of them.
Until then, those lecturers in public universities will understand that they are of less importance, the government will then pay less attention to the demands of the unending strikes that these lecturers embark on every now and then. The issue of punitively giving ŌĆślow energy' degrees to students who don't deserve it will become a thing of the past, as this privately-owned universities are ready to give out quality education engineered in a conducive learning environment which will naturally resurface the extinct first-class degrees.
Some well-to-do parents have also realised the need to send their children abroad as justified from the teeming number of students going to study in countries like Cyprus, Malaysia, UAE, Ukraine, India, Canada, etc. where degrees are realised at a little bit cheaper prices/cost in comparison to the British or American standards. The alarming population of students seeking admissions in the above-listed countries is so enormous that most of these universities are fond of sending their representatives to Nigeria to solicit for potential students with interests in studying in their countries.
These ŌĆśstudent-hungry' universities go to the extent of giving an ŌĆśon-the-spot' admission to students alongside travel documents and some counseling. This revolution taking place in the university system I think happened in the same manner and in succession to secondary schools. For that, I can say that the ŌĆśprivate secondary school syndrome' has come over to the universities. It can be clearly remembered that way back in fifteen-twenty years ago, private secondary schools were not common; those that were existing were not as cheap as to warrant the enrolment of students from the average Nigerian homes.
Today, they are so abundant and at reasonable costs that most parents are capable of sending their children to them, and this automatically led government-owned secondary schools into irrelevance obsolesce. When I finished primary school about ten years ago, all my colleagues and I sought admission into Federal Government Colleges.
Though these colleges were not perfect even as at then, they were pretty better than they are today. That was why most students in these colleges then felt they were one step ahead of their counterparts in other public secondary schools. However, these colleges are gradually losing students, as seeking admission into them is virtually a lost glory, because most primary school leavers opt for private secondary schools that they can afford. This situation, I guess, has come to the universities.

Re: The Future Of Nigeria

Nigeria is just a paradox of a country. It occurred to me recently that ASUU is always at the governments neck as regards the state of our universities in particular and the state of the nation in general. Yet we have had an uncountable number of Professors/Dr's as Ministers since the return of democracy in 1999. I would expect that almost all of these professors were ASUU members at one time or the other, but they could provide little or no change while in government.

Oyeols....You are very correct. ASUU is a can of worms.

Jobless Claims Fell Sharply Last Week
Originally published on Thu April 11, 2013 11:52 am
There were 346,000 first-time claims for unemployment benefits, down 42,000 from the week before, the Employment and Training Administration reports.
Meanwhile, the "4-week moving average" of claims was 358,000, up by 3,000 from the previous week's 355,000. That measure smooths out some of the volatility in the numbers.
After recent reports that were disappointing — including last week's news that employers added only 88,000 jobs to their payrolls in March — Thursday's data on jobless claims were a positive switch.
Bloomberg News says the decline in claims was more than forecast and could be a sign that some things that tend to cause unusual swings in data, including holidays such as Easter, have worked their way through the numbers.
"The spike in claims was temporary," Brian Jones, a senior U.S. economist at Societe Generale in New York, tells Bloomberg. "Claims will continue to come down. Things are getting better."

Below is the poem entitled A Lighter Shade of Gray which was written by poet
Dvorkis. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Yoni Dvorkis
In diminishing degrees of denial and doubt,
I find myself taking inventory of emotional stock
to scan it for inconsistencies:
Let's see...
Right now I feel…
Confused, scared, angry, vengeful, murderous, and demonic.
Yet also…
Calm, peaceful, nurturing, merciful, caring, reassuring, and reassured.
Who am I to follow the yellow brick road
that lights the way out of Oz? (my Wizard seems so far away…)
Who am I to question the path it leads me on?
These strange and unpredictable twists and turns,
tramples and tumbles,
ups and downs,
highs and lows…
I'm just a lost and lonely soul hoping to reconcile
the light and dark,
the white and black.
the generosity and greed
the spirit and flesh.
Yet I only end up compromising my deepest held beliefs
in the hopes that I may live a normal life
and carry on normal conversations
in a world that is everything
but normal.
Full of lost and lonely souls, who like me,
only seek an understanding shoulder to cry on,
that could lessen this tremendous burden,
lighten this harrowing load,
and offer true direction
towards a lighter shade of gray.

10 Best Doughnuts in Los Angeles
The glazed doughnut from Du Pars.
A. Trachta
They say sex is like a doughnut: Even at its worst, is it ever really bad? Well, once you consume, in rapid succession, as many doughnuts as we have in the last few weeks, you start to believe it can be.
Of course there's never a reason to eat a doughnut. No amount of self-delusion will allow you to believe that fruit filling is a dose of vitamins for the day. No, eating a doughnut is an act of pure pleasure-seeking, so if you're going to have one, every bite should merit throwing a wrench in your otherwise clean-living diet. Dry, bland pastry need not apply.
So as an act of public service, we scoured the city for the best doughnuts around, all worth the sugar crash you'll inevitably experience later. We focused our search on actual doughnut shops, as opposed to restaurants that serve them on the menu — with the exception of one, because if you're going to order a doughnut from a waitress, it seems fitting to do so at a 24-hour diner.
The custard-filled doughnut from Maggie's.
10. Maggie's Donuts:
There's one main reason to swing by Maggie's, and that's the custard-filled iced chocolate bar, which is so, well, custard-filled, it's literally bursting. Served split down the middle, you get a peek before you eat at the erupting cool vanilla epicenter, which couples perfectly with the soft and sweet doughnut shell. Some of the custard will spill out onto your fingers, and you'll lap it up, and you won't care how that looks. 2612 E. Sixth St.,
Los Angeles; 213-383-1511.
The chocolate doughnut and vanilla cruller from Spudnuts
9. Spudnuts:
Out of the chains around L.A., Spudnuts is our top pick. It's a basic shop with a hefty handful of locations all around L.A. and the Valley. As such, it's best to keep your order simple, too. If you're gonna do chocolate, do it all the way with the chocolate-frosted and chocolate chip-topped chocolate doughnut. Even better, though, is the vanilla cruller, which is only lightly glazed, but manages to pack a really bright vanilla flavor. 2775 Van Nuys Blvd., Los Angeles; 818-896-4678.
Du-Par's Bearclaw
8. Du-Par's:
Du-Par's certainly isn't a doughnut shop, but if you're near the Grove location, it's worth braving the highly congested parking lot to sample one of the few varieties this diner has on its menu. The classic glazed is a champion of its breed, puffed up to a thick, chewy consistency that requires serious jaw action for each bite. Du-Par's gets the glaze just right too — hardened barely past the point of sticky liquid to form something shy of a crust. The bear claw isn't your run-of-the-mill, boasting a delicious almond filling that's reminiscent of baklava. And the fact that it's served warm certainly doesn't hurt. 6333 W. Third St., Los Angeles; 323-933-8446.
The Old-Fashioned and chocolate cake doughnut at Ms. Donuts
7. Ms. Donuts:
In the Echo Park/Silver Lake area, you could do a lot worse than this old-fashioned shop, especially when the line at Taco Zone is too long and you need some late night sustenance. The maple bar was a little on the dry side, but the chocolate was the exact opposite — in a good way — with a texture that suggested it could have been cooked about 30 seconds longer, but we were glad it wasn't. The Old-Fashioned doughnut is also a winner here, with glaze so thick it softly crunches as you eat it. 1353 Glendale Blvd., Los Angeles; 213-484-0927.
Coconut doughnut from BabyCakes
6. BabyCakes:
The doughnuts at BabyCakes (and actually everything else at BabyCakes) are vegan, kosher, gluten-free, wheat-free, soy-free, casein-free, egg-free and sans refined sugar. In other words, any sane pastry-lover's nightmare. Or so you would think, but once you try one of its baked-not-fried doughnut varieties, the last thing on your mind will be anything its lacking. What you'll taste instead is delicious gooey sweetness, along with a hint of lemon added for brightness. The salted caramel doughnut, though a mess of dense cake and sticky sauce, is really the best, but the coconut is also worth a try, since its flavor is mild enough for any non-coconut fan to get behind. 236 N. Larchmont Blvd., Los Angeles; 855-462-2292.
Maple bar from Bob's
5. Bob's Coffee and Doughnuts:
Bob's has a vintage feel, as it should, since it's located in the Original L.A. Farmers Market. And while not quite as old as the market itself, it's been flinging outstanding little circular treats since 1970. Fitting to the ambiance, Bob's has plenty of classic doughnuts, like the bear claw, the apple fritter and almighty glazed, but it's not so set in its ways, shaking it up with a few new-school varieties like Nutella. The maple was our favorite, even among its many worthy competitors in town, perhaps because it came with the bonus of alfresco dining. Or maybe just because it was perfectly chewy and delicious. 6333 W. Third St., #450, Los Angeles; 323-933-8929.
The jelly-filled doughnut from Randy's.
From blocks away, that massive doughnut structure on top of Randy's beckons you, and on your way home from LAX, which is when many people see it, it's hard to say no. So don't — listen to your gut, literally. Randy's has everything you long to see on a doughnut menu: glazed, cake, twists, apple fritters, bear claws, you name it, and none is a bad choice. But out of these classics, the jelly doughnut is our top pick. Maybe we've maxed out on food porn lately, but doesn't that hole through which it's stuffed look like it's puckering for a kiss? The jelly inside does not taste like it was made from muddled organic raspberries and sweetened with agave. No, it tastes like pie filling loaded with additives. But you know what? It's delicious. And on the topic of fillings, be aware the "cream-filled" is actually custard-filled, which turns out to be all the better. 805 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood; 310-645-4707.
Primo's buttermilk doughnut
Primo's has been doing its thing since 1956, and despite now being hovered over by a major freeway, it somehow maintains that same simplistic charm we associate with the romanticized version of that era. It's a tiny shop that serves maybe a dozen or so varieties, but we recommend getting there early if you want the good stuff before it runs out. The favorite there, and rightfully so, is the buttermilk, a dense, glazed behemoth of a thing that weighs more in your hand than it looks like it should. But it encompasses all you could ever want in a pastry: a crunchy exterior with a moist, slightly undercooked center. The glazed twist is also a treat in its own right. You'll know that the moment you take a bite and the coating turns to sweet liquid. 2918 Sawtelle Blvd., Los Angeles; 310-478-6930.
Chocolate cheese doughnuts from Stan's
Stan's isn't even really a shop, it's a stand that shares its space with an outpost of the Flame Broiler. But despite this culinary clash, everything else about the place works. Its counter is full of unique varieties like the famous peanut butter banana and the giant pretzel-shaped twists that can be hard to choose between. Former Squid Ink blogger Elina Shatkin steered us toward the apple fritters, which were about the best fritters we tried, especially due to a lingering cinnamon aftertaste. But the chocolate cheese, which is basically an iced cheese Danish, won our hearts with a decadence that bordered on comical. 10948 Weyburn Ave., Los Angeles; 310-208-8660.
The Donut Man's apple doughnut
Few doughnuts are worth driving some 30-odd miles to taste (if you're coming from city center) but in the case of the Donut Man, gas up. And not just for their undeniable deliciousness but also for their sheer girth. If you've heard of the Donut Man, likely you've seen photos of their strawberry doughnut, which oozes a filling of whole, ripe strawberries from a sweet biscuit-like shell. That's a good one to try, as is the apple, which, unlike most apple fritters, has filling that runneth over much like its strawberry cousin. Best of all, though, is the Tiger Tail, a glazed chocolate and vanilla braid that looks as if they put devil's food and regular batter in a soft-serve ice cream machine and hit "twist." Like many of the other varieties, it's semi-ridiculously oversized, making the whole doughnut experience at the Donut Man feel like a culinary funhouse. 915 E. Route 66, Glendora; 626-335-9111.

Slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) is a bone disorder that affects the hip joint. The hip joint is a ball and socket joint. The socket is a part of your hip bone, and the ball part of the joint is the top end of the thigh bone. The ball part of the joint is called the epiphysis. The bone grows from an area called a growth plate, just below the epiphysis. When a child has SCFE, the growth plate slips, which means that the ball and socket do not line up properly.
This problem is common in teens. It is more common in boys than in girls. It is also more common in children who are very overweight or who are growing rapidly.
SCFE usually happens when a child's bones are growing quickly during the early teens. Weakness in the growth plate causes the epiphysis to slip off the rest of the thigh bone. Doctors don't know what causes the weakness. It may happen in both hips.
Common symptoms include:
Your healthcare provider will watch your child walk and move the hip. The provider will check to see if:
Your child may have X-rays of the hip.
It is important to catch and treat SCFE early. Usually it is treated with surgery. There are different ways the surgery may be done. Screws may be used to hold the bones in place, or part of the growth plate may be removed.
After surgery your child will need to use crutches for weeks to months. Your child will have regular appointments with your healthcare provider for the next 18 to 24 months. Your provider will take X-rays to watch the growth plate. Your child may need to limit some sports and other activities until your child is done growing and the growth plate closes.
If SCFE is not treated, the end of the thigh bone may be destroyed by a lack of blood flow or your child may permanently lose full motion of the hip joint.
In many cases SCFE is not preventable. However, many children with SCFE are overweight. The extra weight puts more stress on the growth plate in the thigh bone at the hip. Losing weight may help relieve some of the pressure and help prevent SCFE.

Butotong with one of the trees she planted in the Liguasan Marsh
Copyright: WFP/Philipp Herzog
The Liguasan Marsh is a 288,000- hectare marshland which plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of the Central Mindanao region in the southern Philippines. The communities surrounding the marsh, together with their local government, has embarked on a reforestation project to protect and conserve the biodiversity of the marsh -- and WFP was there to support them.
Butotong Baklid is a loving mother of six children. She lives in the Liguasan Marsh, a 288,000- hectare marshland which plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of the Central Mindanao region in the southern Philippines.
The marsh is threatened by deforestation and other unsustainable practices which are resulting in the rapid decline of many species of fish, trees, flora and fauna. As a result, the community feels strongly regarding the need to protect and conserve the biodiversity of the marsh. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Department of Agriculture initiated a reforestation project in the area that aimed to establish 138 household nurseries.
The World Food Programme (WFP) supported this local initiative by providing rice to the project's participants, as they planted indigenous seedlings that will help rebuild the environment. Over 1,200 households took part in the effort, and Butotong herself received 5 sacks of rice as an incentive to participate in this community project. The rice helped support her family's food needs.
The people in this area have also been seriously affected by decades of violent conflict between separatist rebels and government troops. Butotong's own husband was killed in the crossfire in an upsurge in conflict in 2008, and for two months she and her children hid in the fields, living in a makeshift shelter and sleeping on the floor.
"My greatest dream now is for my kids to finish their education," she says. Thanks to a school feeding programme being implemented by the Department of Education together with the WFP, Butotong's children in elementary and pre-school are currently attending school every day where they receive a hot, nutritious meal.
It may sound simple, but for Butotong, as a widow with an unstable livelihood, this programme means fewer worries about where her children's next meal will come from. And for her children, the daily school meals help them focus on their studies and less on their empty stomachs.

|Energy and Sustainability 2009
Second International Conference on Energy and Sustainability23 - 25 June, 2009
Bologna, Italy
OverviewThe 2nd International Conference on Energy and Sustainability took place recently in Bologna, organised by the University of New Mexico, represented by Andrea Mammoli, and Wessex Institute of Technology (WIT) represented by Carlos Brebbia.
The World's economic system is driven by easily accessible energy. Few of the advances made in the past two centuries would have been possible without the large-scale exploitation of fossil fuels. Resource depletion and prediction of severe environmental effects deriving from the continued use of fossil fuels are sparking renewed interest in sustainable energy. The effort that will be required to shift from a fossil-based energy to one hinged on sustainability is massive, requiring advances in the basic sciences through to systems engineering and all the way to international policy making.
The evaluation of new energy technologies and systems cannot follow the compartmentalised model that has worked so well in the past, because of the time constraints imposed by oil and global warming. All parts of the new energy economy are strongly inter-linked, and researchers in the field must be aware of the entire enterprise to maximise their own contributions.
This second conference on Energy and Sustainability offers the opportunity for scientists, professionals, policymakers and other parties to review recent developments in this rapidly changing environment. The papers contained in this book span many of the critical aspects of the new energy economy, including renewable energy technology, energy management, policy, environmental impacts, systems analysis and efficiency.
Opening AddressThe Conference was opened by Carlos who referred to the importance of the series of meetings to the work of the Institute and the commitment of WIT to act as a medium for knowledge transfer among different specialities. This commitment is the most important in fields like energy and sustainability where the problems require the collaboration of many different disciplines.
Carlos also mentioned the efforts that WIT is doing to promote further the literature resulting from the Conference, as the resulting books are now being disseminated in digital as well as hard cover format. This work is carried out in conjunction with the launching of a series of new journals, ie:
Conference SessionsThe Conference covered the following topics:
Keynote AddressesThere was a series of keynote addresses by well known specialists, as follows:
Conference Dinner
The Conference dinner took place in a renowned restaurant, considered by many as the best in Bologna. The restaurant, called Carraci, is located in the Palace of the Hotel Baglioni, which has frescos painted by the Carraci brothers, who developed their own Art School in the XVII Century. The delegates were offered local specialities accompanied by regional wines in the unique environment of the main restaurant, where the ceiling is decorated with frescos depicting stories from Roman mythology.
Publication of Papers
The proceedings of Energy and Sustainability II, 560pp (Print ISBN: 1-84564-191-7; On-line ISBN: 1-84564-368-3; Print ISSN: 1746-448X) are available from WIT Press priced at £213/US$393/€277. Orders can be placed by telephone: +44 (0) 238 029 3223, fax: +44 (0) 238 029 2853, e-mail:
