DeBono, Daniela
Malta Country Expert
Daniela DeBono has recently completed a D.Phil in Migration Studies at the Sussex Centre for Migration Research, University of Sussex, UK. Her research project, funded by the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK, was entitled 'In Search of the Building Blocks of a Human Rights Culture: Lessons Learnt from the Treatment of Irregular Immigrants in Malta'. It sought to identify aspects in Maltese political culture which hinder the adoption of human rights within the irregular migration field. Her research interests include human rights theory, irregular migration with a special focus on the EU and the Mediterranean, and Maltese Studies. Two recent publications include: DeBono D. (2011) "'Not our problem': Why the detention of irregular immigrants in Malta is not seen as a human rights issue". In Dembour M. & Kelly T., Are Human Rights for Migrants?: Critical Reflections on the Status of Irregular Migrants in Europe and the United States, Oxon: Routledge and DeBono D. (2008) "Poverty-induced Cross Border Migration: Socio-economic rights and International Solidarity". In Peter G. Xuereb (ed) The Fight Against Poverty: Civil Society Project Report, Malta: European Documentation and Research Centre.
Daniela is a part time lecturer at the University of Connecticut in London. She is also an assistant tutor on introductory courses in Migration Studies, Cultural Studies and European Studies at the University of Sussex. Daniela has previously held full time managerial positions in Malta with the Commissioner for Children, the National Commission Persons with Disability and Caritas Malta HelpAge, and volunteered with a number of organisations both locally and internationally which include: the Jesuit Refugee Service, Initiatives of Change International, the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council, the Diocesan Justice and Peace Commission, the Young Christian Workers and the National Youth Council. In 2002, as part of an M.A. in Human Rights and Democratisation, she undertook a six-month research placement at the Raoul Wallenberg Institute for Human Rights at the University of Lund, Sweden.

It's about that time to Re-Up, folks. On November 19th Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded The Re-Up hits stores with eight new tracks. One disc will include eight new tracks featuring singles "Va Va Voom," "The Boys" and "Freedom." Adding to her Barbz' suspense she released the snippets to the remaining unreleased songs. And like her first two albums Nicki can't be confined to one box.
"Hell Yeah's" production sounds like grunge rock mixed with the typical hip-hop bass. Nicki flosses about being a boss. "High School" may be this album's "Right By My Side" since she's singing on the chorus about a potential love interest. "I Endorse These Strippers" sounds similar to "Beez In The Trap," which will inevitably make it a club banger. Better yet, a strip club favorite. It's only right that in a song titled "I'm Legit" Nicki raps, "I did a freestyle then I/got a shoutout from Obama." From the choir's singing chorus on "Up In Flames" you don't expect the thumping beat change resulting in Nicki's more hardcore flow.
Artists re-releasing albums with a handful of new songs is becoming quite trendy. Lana Del Rey is re-releasing Born To Die: The Paradise Edition later this month too. Why not release a new project? Is the re-release because of poor sales the first go-round? Now that we've put the questions out there, let us know your thoughts in the comment section. And does The Re-Up make you want to purchase or re-purchase the album? What say you?

Comments about Kurgo Pet Travel Back Seat Barrier:
Installation was a little confusing because the instructions described some parts that were different on the actual device, such as a 'D' ring on the instruction was actually a strap or a loop, horizontal steel support bar in instructions was not in the device, as if I had instructions for another model. Also advertised as nearly universal fit on all vehicles, but I drive a Prius which is a small car and the device was almost too small. I had to improvise some of the securements because the straps were not long enough. I do not know if this product would work for persons with large vehicles. One major drawback is that once installed, neither driver nor passenger can change the seat inclination individually; it has to be together or none. I would recommend this product as long as the buyer knows there may be a possibility that it will not fit the vehicle well. I am satisfied because it does what I bought it for.

The dust has nearly settled on E3 2013 and the great Xbox One DRM debacle, and it's now time to reconvene and discuss. Xav, Richard, Ludwig, and Jordan are here to present their top picks from the bevy of games seen in Los Angeles, with praise going to: Octodad: Dadliest Catch, Bayonetta 2, Titanfall, The Witcher 3, Outlast, Quantum Break, EVR on the Oculus Rift, Mario Kart 8, and more.
In the second half of the show, it's all about reactions to the big Microsoft 180 – ours and yours. Does Sony still maintain its initial good-will; does the $100 console price difference still matter; what's the impact of forthcoming first-party exclusives? We hit all the big questions.
Be sure to catch the games segment recorded live on YouTube every Thursday. This week's full video can be seen on the Joystiq YouTube page and after the break.

So you've got an ethical dilemma on your hands. How do you figure out what to do? Generally speaking, there are two major approaches that philosophers use in handling ethical dilemmas. One approach focuses on the practical consequences of what we do; the other concentrates on the actions themselves. The first school of thought basically argues "no harm, no foul"; the second claims that some actions are simply wrong. Thinkers have debated the relative merits of these approaches for centuries, but for the purpose of getting help with handling ethical dilemmas, think of them as complementary strategies for analyzing and resolving problems. Here's a brief, three-step strategy that shows you how to combine them.
(By the way, we're going to assume that if there are any laws involved, you plan to obey them. This isn't to say that it's always morally wrong to break laws. But in ethical dilemmas that arise in business, the laws generally establish at least a bare minimum for how you should act. Besides, if a business regularly breaks laws, it becomes an anti-social force in society. And no matter how much money's involved, at that point, there's not a huge difference between a business and organized crime.)
O.K., so you're going to stay on this side of the law. What next? It's probably easier to start by looking at the consequences of the actions you're considering.
Assume you have a variety of options. Consider the range of both positive and negative consequences connected with each one.
- Who will be helped by what you do?
- Who will be hurt?
What kind of benefits and harms are we talking about? After all, some "goods" in life (like health) are more valuable than others (like a new VCR). A small amount of "high quality" good can outweigh a larger amount of "lower quality" good. By the same token, a small amount of "high quality" harm (the pain you produce if you betray someone's trust on a very important matter) can outweigh a larger amount of "lower quality" pain (the disappointment connected with waiting another few months for a promotion).
How does all of this look over the long run as well as the short run. And if you're tempted to give short shrift to the long run, just remember that you're living with a lot of long-term negative consequences (like air and water pollution and the cost of the S&L bailout) that people before you thought weren't important enough to worry about.
After looking at all of your options, which one produces the best mix of benefits over harms?
Now consider all of your options from a completely different perspective. Don't think about the consequences. Concentrate instead strictly on the actions. How do they measure up against moral principles like honesty, fairness, equality, respecting the dignity of others, respecting people's rights, and recognizing the vulnerability of individuals weaker or less fortunate than others? Do any of the actions that you're considering "cross the line," in terms of anything from simple decency to an important ethical principle? If there's a conflict between principles or between the rights of different people involved, is there a way to see one principle as more important than the others?
What you're looking for is the option whose actions are least problematic.STEP 3: MAKE A DECISION
And now, take both parts of your analysis into account and make a decision.
This strategy should give you at least some basic steps you can follow.

It probably goes back to elementary school, when you were told "keep your eyes on your own paper."
The message was hammered home in ninth grade when your English teacher would flunk you for plagerism.
And you hear the disdain almost every day in business when a new product is dismissed as a "me too."
Still, I am here to tell you that copying an existing product could be the way to go.
Now, let's be clear. I am NOT talking about violating patents, trade and service marks and the like. Not only is that legally dumb, it isn't going to gain you anything in the marketplace. If you come out with an exact copy of an existing product at exactly the same price, there is no reason for anyone to buy yours, as opposed to the orginal.
But as we have talked about before, if you put a slight twist on something that already exists, you could be far ahead of the game.
Consider these six benefits:
1. You can move faster. You don't have to find a market niche. Someone has done the work for you.
2. It is less costly. You don't have to educate the market, the first mover has gone to the expense of doing that.
3. Less risky. Related to the second point, copying something requires less capital and people.
4. You can offer the product for less…since as the last two points proved, your costs are less.
5. You provide a second source. No matter how good a product a supplier offers, companies hate to be dependent on a single source. Your product serves as a second source.
6. You can supply that missing "it" factor. Odds are the product you are copying is pretty good (otherwise you would not be copying it.) But no matter how good it is, odds are it is missing something. (Something the original producer is bound to include in the second iteration.) You can offer it first, putting a twist on whatever exists.
There is an art to being "a fast second." If you can master it, you can be extremely successful.

Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad
Here's a super fast and easy recipe I made the other day when I had very little time to eat, but needed a break from my computer for a few short minutes. I didn't feel like a green salad, and wanted something a bit more substantial.
Zucchini noodles tossed with diced tomatoes and avocado with a touch of garlic, rosemary, and oregano for an Italian flavor. This is delicious and beautiful.
Simple Rosemary Oregano Noodle Salad
Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Toss to mix.
To serve, transfer into bowl. Garnish with 1 tablespoon hemp nut.
Enjoy immediately.

Remove the statue. Put the statue in some type of building on campus with two distinct rooms; one well lit room for the good deeds of Paterno, and then a darker room with the events of the scandal. Build a garden in place of the statue outside the stadium dedicated to any victim of child sex abuse. I understand why people want every tie with Paterno cut off, but I don't. If the statue would be left where it is, I would think of the scandal and be reminded of this every time I walk by. I think something needs to be built so people don't forget and it isn't just a Wikipedia page for the next generations to come through.
I think I'm gonna go with the experts and guys who have worked with the NCAA before on these matters when they say not to expect anything from the NCAA. And not to mention, "NCAA expert attorney Michael Buckner read Freeh report and said it does not show lack of institutional control as defined by NCAA manual." That was straight from Joe Schad with ESPN. He also goes on to say that based off of speaking to several lawyers and NCAA sources, Penn State will not be sanctioned by the NCAA.
What...? By "major violation" I mean an NCAA violation. As bad as it sounds, molesting children is not an NCAA violation. You just like to talk about the situation and have no knowledge on it whatsoever
Wasn't the grand jury presentment leaked a week early? Or was it never even to be released in the first place? I can't remember. Oh well, I criticize Tom Corbett for...er, uh, well....his handling of everything in this situation.
Nobody gets it. REPEAT VIOLATOR.
Penn State has never been on probation for any violation and I do not believe any other sport at Penn State has ever been on probation for a violation. Therefore, Penn State cannot be eligible for the death penalty. Also, the probation must have been in place within five years of the "major violation" of any other athletic program. Either way, I do not believe any Penn State athletic program has ever been placed on probation for a "major violation" in the last five years. This would fully eliminate the death penalty from the NCAA's options. Bowl bans, scholarships reductions, etc. would still be in play though.
But this death penalty talk is just ridiculous.
Six states. You forgot Florida (the most significant) in my opinion. And it's "Neiko" Robinson, not "Neko"
I don't know what you mean. Looking at the linebackers we've had in the past, not many of them have come out as 4 or 5-stars. Vandy coaches 'em up into stars. But these recruits are loads better than what we've had before. We have seven 4-star recruits and four 3-stars (according to ESPN). Brandon Bell is a high 3-star and Neiko Robinson is our first Florida recruit in a decade. Also, according the Rivals or Scouts, Will Fuller is a 4-star. So we could be looking at eight or nine 4-stars and only two or three 3-stars. Out of David Williams, Alex Anzalone, and Dorian Johnson, (not to mention the other two New Jersey 4-star LB's that have Penn State at the top of their list) if we can get two of those three guys, we're gonna end up with a top 10 class. I'm way more concerned with player development. Players make the game, but coaches make the players...not recruiting analysts.
You sound like someone who got rejected from Penn State and had to settle for Temple. Not that Temple is a bad school, because it's not; however, it isn't Penn State. But anyway, lemme throw out some numbers here. In the past two season plus the 2012 season Penn State's OOC opponents combined record is 81-58. Now, let's take a look at the same years but with Alabama. The Alabama team that has won two of the last three BCS National Championships. Alabama's OOC opponents have a staggering, jaw-dropping combined record of 67-82, one of those teams last season was in their first year of college football. Penn State's OOC opponents this season have a record of 32-20, and 3 of the 4 teams went to a bowl game. Alabama, you ask? 20-28 while two of those teams are FCS teams and all four of Penn State's OOC foes this year are FBS teams. So riddle me this Almighty college football analyst: would you schedule four 10 win teams as OOC opponents year after year and have your team dance on a minefield? How quickly do you want a team to lose confidence and possibly end any hopes at a national title in week one or two?
PS. Penn State played at Temple this season not in Happy Valley like you said. If I coached for 61 years and donated millions of dollars to a university and happened to win 409 games and 2 National Championships, I might hold my head kinda high and buy a nice, brand new house with all the money I've amassed. But wait, the Paterno's have lived in the same house all their life on McKee Street. Why don't you take a look at Urban Meyer's new home in Dublin, Ohio? Speak to us about arrogance and selfishness then.
I'll drink my Penn State Kool-Aid until the day I die.
Well, I think you're missing that there's a new staff at Penn State that is going to use the TE exclusively. O'Brien had the best TE duo in the NFL this past season in New England and one of which, Gronkowski, set multiple NFL records this year at the TE position. I'd be sold.
The people commenting on this are ignorant and naive. The athletic department has their own money that they use, no taxes or tuition money is used by them. You people are complaining about $4.4 million dollars for a total of 7 coaches that have been at the university for a total of 124 years, (not counting Joe Paterno's 61 years, which makes it 185 years) when there's ONE man at Ohio State making $4 million dollars in his FIRST season as head coach. Get a grip people.
At least he wasn't told of his fate by courier and then over the phone.
At least he wasn't told of his fate by courier and then over the phone.
This makes me want to cry.
I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt right now. Definitely can't say I like the hire, and I'm not encouraged by how he did when he was an OC at Duke. I know not many other like this but the quickest way to garner some support and respect is to TRY to retain Coach Bradley, Johnson, and VanderLinden. If you can retain them, that's a good start.
Gonna go drink my pain away for the next 5 months.
At least we'll score a redzone touchdown next season.

Hahahaha "I won't be Attorney General anytime soon."
+1 to Jay Paterno
He just got cooler in my book.
There is a four day recruiting contact period starting on the 4th or 5th I believe and then a sixteen day contact period starting the 12th or 13th. If no coach is named before the four day period, which would be after our bowl game, I look for the coach to be named the 10th or 11th. And if a coach is named after the NCG, it could be a BIG catch.
Anybody who believes him is a fool. If in over 50 days of searching you have not negotiated a contract or even chosen a final candidate you are either duping everybody or are extremely incompetent. I don't buy this for a second. I'm sticking to the "head coach is already hired" theory and I think everything else is just a smokescreen.

PITTSFORD - Driving north on Route 7 past Arch Street in Pittsford, it's easy to miss a non-descript gray building on your right. If you reach the Pittsford Fire Department station traveling toward Brandon, you've already missed the grey building-just like I did.
While the old grey lady may appear a bit shabby - it's a building that once had plans for updating but were never completed - you'll come to know that appearances are only skin deep; the building is home to the award-winning Pittsford First Response squad.
All Pittsford First Response Squad members are trained in emergency medicine to at least the First Responder Level, with many holding Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)-basic and intermediate certifications. The Pittsford squad is the primary response agency for the Rutland County towns of Pittsford, Florence, and Chittenden.
The Pittsford squad is comprised of 11 individuals who are on call to protect and serve their various communities: Peri Swan (EMT-B), John Costales (EMT-B), Marsha McMahon (EMT-I), Marie Fitzgerald (EMT-B), Robert Foley (EMT-B), Melody Shaw (EMT-B), Ashley Loso (ECA), Josh Felion (EMT-B), Kara Samplatsky (ECA), Marc Muth (EMT-I), and Scott Mooij (EMT-B).
There's a lot to handle in the Pittsford area 365 days a year twenty-four hours a day for eleven people who have families, work and other commitments. So when they cannot respond for lack of coverage the 9-1-1 dispatcher knows to alert another ambulance as their backup.
"First Response" is a part of the greater Emergency Medical Services (EMS) network, and involves providing pre-hospital emergency medical care to the sick and injured. Pittsford First Response is dispatched first to an emergency in their local service area, while Rutland Regional Ambulance is en route to continue care and transport to the nearest facility.
Pittsford First Response does not usually transport mainly due to the fact of lack of personnel. Yet in cases of mass casualty incidents; like a bus accident, they have the ability to transport. They are also able to transport when Rutland Regional Ambulance or Brandon Rescue is not available due to responding to other emergency calls.

Really Loved Playing Here
Excellent value !!! Will definitely play again. Better than Cobble with the same scenic views !!!
August 11, 2014
First timer, but I'll be back!
Great track. No such thing as a flat lie! Great views of the bay. Some of the most amazing trees I've seen. Its been around for awhile, you can tell. Save $80 and play here instead of Cobble Beach.
August 5, 2014
Rolling hills
A very challenging course with a lot of rolling and hilly terain.
July 21, 2014
Beautiful Views
Lovely course. Great views. Greens are challenging, fairways cut to short. Fun and challenging.
July 20, 2014
Beautiful sunny skies with a better view
Overall, a very good course with some elevation and some scenic holes overlooking the bay. Will be back for sure.
July 7, 2014
great course
friendly staff in the pro shop, well manicured greens, very picturesque overlooking Georgian Bay, some difficult holes but challenging
June 23, 2014
What a day!
The day and the round could not have been better, welcomed by cheerful and helpful staff. The cart girl was very efficient and contributed to a satisfying round. She was there three times in our round....better than other courses. The course was great, fairways and greens were in top condition. The views of the lake were stunning. Certainly will golf here again. What was also great was the friendliness of the other golfers. The only negative was that we found two foursomes that cut in front of us, one in the first 9 and the other in the back 9. Impatience I presume. Could use a course ranger as we never saw one. I picked this course as all others were booked or too expensive. Boy, what a stroke of good luck.
June 16, 2014
Our Favourite Course
We love this course! So when it came up on Golf Now we jumped at the chance to play it. We brought guests to play last year and they thought it was somuch fun too. Every hole is interesting, not too much sand, great views done each fairway. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

text: Tweet photo by philippe leroyer (Flickr CC) Since the earthquake and tsunami-induced meltdowns in Japan last year, nuclear power has experienced a significant dip in global popularity. In parts of the globe, anyway. Japan itself is currently nuclear-free in terms of energy production, with an ambitious plan to clean up its air and water as well as increase the development of renewable power sources. The East Asian economic powerhouse is home to 54 nuclear reactors, not one of which is online. Public outcry in Germany following the events at Fukushima immediately resulted in 8 plant closures, with all remaining nuclear facilities to be closed by 2022. This phase-out was already a plan passed by the German Social Democratic-Green Party coalition back in 2002, but Chancellor Angela Merkel decided in 2010, despite large public opposition, to delay the plans by 10-15 years. After Fukushima Merkel announced a moratorium on that decision, most likely because her party was losing votes to the Greens. So what have been the environmental and economic results of Germany's move from nuclear? More coal (meaning more CO2 emissions)? More renewables? Economic downturn? Here's some statistics on what's happened in 2011 (source – the Guardian): Germany's energy exports have dropped from 70TWh to 7TWh, still making them a net exporter of power Energy consumption dropped by 5.3% due to increased efficiency measures and a mild winter All this happened while Germany's economy grew by 3% 60% of lost nuclear capacity was replaced by renewables, which now make up 20% of the total electricity supply Emissions fell by 2% Though energy prices went up by 10-15% following Fukushima, they are now 10-15% below pre Fukushima levels And the future? Check out this excerpt from a press release by the German Center for Research and Innovation: By 2050, Germany plans to be 80-95% below 1990 CO2 emission levels and to derive 80% of the nation's electricity from renewables. In research and technology, the government's High-Tech Strategy has identified climate and resource protection in power generation as one of its five key areas of focus. Several government-funded projects and initiatives, for example, aim to improve the effectiveness of organic solar cells, develop new energy storage technologies, and CO2 reduction concepts to achieve the High-Tech Strategy's objectives by 2020. The UK on the other hand, has reacted to Fukushima by planning to build more nuclear reactors (or at least extending the life of old ones), rather than shutting them down. Other nations planning on constructing new nuclear power facilities include Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. But according to the Financial Times, it is China who will be bringing out the big guns with 14 reactors currently operating, 25 under construction and 'dozens more in advanced planning' Kind of puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

1. I don't want to get on a soapbox but …
When it's time for change, nothing holds back momentum. Not a hefty buyout, not personal relationships and certainly not the unknown of the next step.
Robb Akey was the first coach fired this season, and Idaho was so ready to get rid of one of the true good guys of the sport with two years remaining on his contract, they gave the interim job to a 33-year-old who two years ago was coaching high school football.
"It has been a whirlwind," Idaho interim coach Jason Gesser said.
If you think that's nutty, it's about to get full-blown bat crazy.
The strange and awkward season of firing and hiring coaches has begun, and the closer we get to a flooded market, the quicker this reality arrives: a man who has lied to his employers everywhere he has coached will soon be the hottest commodity of the hiring season.
That's right, everyone. We're talking about Bobby Petrino.
Fired at Arkansas in April for lying to his bosses about an affair with a woman who worked for him. Lied or misled his bosses at Louisville multiple times before leaving for another job. Lied or misled his owner with the NFL's Falcons multiple times before leaving for another job.
All it's going to take is a slick president and/or athletic director to stand tall and state that Petrino's problem at Arkansas was a personal misstep, not a professional failing. That he regrets his actions and is ready to move forward.
"If you don't think that will happen," says one BCS athletic director, "you obviously don't know how important winning is to some folks."
A brief breakdown of the coaching carousel:
It's all over but the firing1. Derek Dooley, Tennessee: Three years in Knoxville: 4-16 SEC record. Pfffft.
2. Joker Phillips, Kentucky: Three years at UK, marquee win: beating Tennessee (yes, Dooley's Tennessee) for the first time in 27 years.
3. Frank Spaziani, Boston College: One win this season (vs. FCS Maine), and losers of 15 of the past 20 games. In an increasingly weak conference.
4. Gene Chizik, Auburn: What looked unthinkable even last month has now become the inevitable. Three straight top 15 recruiting classes have led to one victory this fall—over Louisiana-Monroe in overtime.
Better finish strong1. Jeff Tedford, California: The buyout is hefty ($6.9 million), but so was the price for the (now half full) Memorial Stadium renovation.
2. Skip Holtz, South Florida: Heard the dreaded "we evaluate every coach after the season" statement from his athletic director, and his teams have lost 12 of their last 15 games. Key stretch: back-to-back winnable home games against Syracuse and UConn. Lose those two, and it's over.
3. Dave Christensen, Wyoming: The losing is bad enough. But embarrassing your university will speed up things every time.
Icons on the edge1. Mack Brown, Texas: Texas has lost its last nine games to ranked teams, and the trend line doesn't look good. The Longhorns have given up 197 points—nearly 50 a game—in splitting their first four Big 12 games this fall. That's bad, bad football for a program that gets its choice from the most talent-rich state in all of high school football.
2. Kirk Ferentz, Iowa: The last three weeks was a microcosm of the program under Ferentz: win a couple of games and feel good about the direction, then embarrass yourself and talk about getting better.
3. Gary Pinkel, Missouri: He has done too much for Mizzou, right? Well, if the Tigers don't win in Year 1 in the SEC—and considering Pinkel's DUI last year and his handling of QB James Franklin this fall—stranger things have happened.
2. Puppet Playhouse
Troy Calhoun: Howdy Doody (man of character).
Dave Christensen: Phineas T. Bluster (full of hot air).
3. No more Mr. Nice Duck
This is what happens when you score 43 points in the first 18:27 of a game, sub reserves and finish with a deceivingly close(er) victory: you drop to No. 4 in the BCS rankings.
So I've got some advice for the team that scored 2.353 points per minute (really, do the math) on the road, in a Thursday night game: run it up, baby.
If Oregon coach Chip Kelly hasn't figured it out yet, this BCS contraption is a beauty pageant as much as a demolition derby. You have to avoid getting dinged up—and you damn well better look good doing it.
Unless, that is, you want to take your chances on what the voter in Waterloo, Iowa, sees in his Sunday morning paper when figuring his Top 25. Or what the computer math nerd thinks about your quartiles and variations when filling out his poll (of course he fills it out; you don't really think a "formula" spits out a Top 25, do you?).
No more starters on the bench in the first half, no more easing off the pedal. Your job is to score points and make it all look pretty; their job is to stop you.
Good luck, Colorado. You're gonna need it.
4. Next up
The top names you'll hear in the hopper, and if they'll leave their current job if a bigger program comes calling:
Art Briles, Baylor: Forget it. Loves Baylor, has a palace of a stadium being built. Can retire in Waco.
Larry Fedora, North Carolina: The more presidents talk to him, the more they'll like him. Would he leave Chapel Hill after one season? Would you, with the academic fraud mess lingering?
Dana Holgorsen, West Virginia: Don't judge him on the defense; that can be fixed. A pass-game innovator, and a guy who may just be tempted by a big SEC job (Tennessee, Auburn).
Butch Jones, Cincinnati: For a job in the Big Four (SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12)? Absolutely. If you're coaching in the Big East, it's one of two things: a steppingstone or a tombstone. You choose.
Dan Mullen, Mississippi State: In a word, yes. But it's going to take a unique job.
Charlie Strong, Louisville: See Jones, Butch.
Tommy Tuberville, Texas Tech: Tubs was made to coach in the SEC.
The top non-BCS candidates
Dave Doeren, Northern Illinois: Former Wisconsin defensive coordinator is 20-4 since replacing Jerry Kill, and his Huskies look more like a Big Ten team than a majority of the current Big Ten teams.
Sonny Dykes, Louisiana Tech: Has quickly moved to the top of non-BCS coaches with his pass-oriented, attacking offense.
Mark Hudspeth, Louisiana-Lafayette: Proven winner at NCAA lower division, and in two seasons with Lafayette in FBS.
Gus Malzahn, Arkansas State: Proved his mettle as Auburn's offensive coordinator, and has Arkansas State among the elite of the non-BCS.
Mike MacIntyre, San Jose State: What he has accomplished at SJSU – the worst FBS program when he arrived – has been miraculous. Single-handily saved the program.
Willie Taggart, Western Kentucky: He's Jim Harbaugh – only 12 years younger. That's a massive compliment.
5. The Weekly Five
Mack Brown finally admitted earlier this week he's not thrilled about his forced commitments to the Longhorn Network. In the spirit of that revelation, we give you the top five highlights of the young LHN:
1. Convinced Nebraska it really could stand up for itself, and the Huskers finally walked away from Texas (when they should have long ago before the Big Eight became the Big 12).
2. Convinced the Pac-12 it really could expand and make billions on television contracts. Look, if you're gonna pay to watch Texas volleyball, you'll surely pay to watch Washington State play Utah in football.
3. Convinced Colorado it's not worth getting your brains beat in while the big dogs get all the cash. Why not get your brains beat in with the Pac-12 and get an equal share?
4. Convinced Texas A&M it's a burnt orange world—and the Aggies are just living in it. Why not get back at Texas by leaving for the SEC, giving the all-powerful conference a pipeline to fertile recruiting grounds and overflowing television dollars?
5. Convinced us—now beyond a reasonable doubt—that just because you have your own television network, it doesn't mean you can tackle.
6. The Power of Urb
Ohio State (coached by Urban Meyer): 8-0.
Florida (formerly coach by Meyer): 7-0.
Louisville (coached by former Meyer assistant Charlie Strong): 7-0.
Mississippi State (coached by former Meyer assistant Mullen): 7-0.
Total record of teams associated with Meyer: 29-0.
7. The season begins this weekend
What if I told you an SEC team had a top-10 defense, and a top-30 offense? And that same team had a quarterback with a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 15:1? And that same team was unbeaten through seven weeks?
And that same team was getting ready to lose for the first time this week—by 30 points.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Enjoy them now at 7-0; they'll be 7-3 in three weeks.
South Alabama, Jackson State and Troy are not Alabama, Texas A&M and LSU.
8. Dollar signs
Am I wrong to think the NCAA is dragging its feet on Oregon because, well, you know. Do I really have to remind you?
Do you really think if this were a middling team in a middling conference, they'd be avoiding the NCAA's wrath after paying $25,000 for useless recruiting information to get closer to a street agent (ahem, advisor) who controlled an elite recruit who eventually signed with the team?
Apparently, the NCAA doesn't have a former Oregon football player on staff who works as an investigator. Because if they did, you better believe they'd get to the bottom of it. Pronto.
9. From bad to worse
Just when you thought the ACC could get no worse, we give you this unnerving truth:
N.C. State controls its destiny in the Atlantic Division, and can keep the ACC's only legitimate national factor (Florida State) from the league's championship game by winning out.
The same N.C. State team that lost to Tennessee by 14.
Just think, Pitt and Syracuse join the fun in 2013!
(Quick aside: if you think you hate the BCS now, do yourself a solid favor and thank N.C. State. But for that loss to the Wolfpack, FSU would be unbeaten and likely as high as No. 2 in the human polls—without playing a team of significance).
10. The path less traveled
And you people thought Cut made a big mistake three years ago by telling Tennessee no.

Department/s: Music
Composer, Michael John Trotta is a frequent guest conductor and clinician with a variety of ensembles throughout the country. His compositions are published with Walton, Alliance, Colla Voce, GIA, Kjos, Carl Fischer, Alliance, and MorningStar and are performed all over the world. He earned a Doctorate of Musical Arts in Choral Conducting from Louisiana State University, and a Bachelor of Music (Music Education) and a Master of Music (Choral Conducting) from Rowan University. As an educator, he has held positions at the middle school, high school, and university levels. He is currently the Director of Choral Activities and Assistant Professor of Music at Virginia Wesleyan College. He has been recognized by ASCAP and ACDA for contributions as a composer of choral music. He was honored by the Foundation for Excellence in Education and received the ASCAP Award for significant contributions to the area of Choral Concert Music. For more information, recordings, samples, and a full list of works, visit his website: www.mjtrotta.com
While working in the Philadelphia Metro area, Trotta served as the Artistic Director for Hope Lives On, a concert to benefit the pediatric cancer research at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. After teaching for five years in primary and secondary choral music, he served as an adjunct faculty member at Rowan University, where he had teaching responsibilities in choral music with the Concert Choir, WOCHO (women's chorus) and Statesmen (men's chorus) and in music history.
He has toured Europe three times and has performed in St. Peter's Basilica, Santa Maria Maggiore (Rome), St. Mark's (Venice), Casa Verdi (Milan) and the Santa Maria Del Fiore, the Duomo (Florence) and Carnegie Hall (New York). He has worked with Morten Lauridsen, Sir David Wilcocks, and John Rutter.
A noted composer of choral music, his work "I Will Keep Still" was recently selected as the winner of the Inaugural Composition Contest for the professional eChoir Dayton project. The work is part of a project that is pioneering new methods of recording, performing, and distributing choral music. In 2011, he premiered "Dedication to Life" a multi-movement work for Soprano and Baritone soloists, Choir, French Horn, Strings, and Harp. Over the next two years, he will release eight new pieces of music throughout the country. His works are frequently performed and recorded nationally and internationally. Plans are underway for a professional CD of his compositions in 2014. He regularly collaborates, as both conductor and composer, with Universities, High Schools, community groups, and churches to write music that fits the needs of each ensemble. His compositions have been called "a true choral gem" (JW Pepper) and his work as a conductor has been heralded as "An Outstanding Example" (ChoralNet). In an article on ChoralNet entitled A Gateway to the Present Moment, A Connection to Something Greater Than Ourselves, Michael said: "Taking part in choral music, whether as an audience member, singer, conductor, or composer, is an opportunity to slow down time long enough to allow the beauty of life to catch up with you."
Michael lives in Virginia Beach, Virginia with his wife Rachel, an artist, singer, writer, painter, and educator, who is a living reminder of the M.C. Richards quote, "All of the arts we practice are apprenticeship. The big art is our life."

Gear Review
I've had my bivy since Jan 05 and have used it pretty steady year-round guiding since then. It's roomy and very comfortable to fit anything I need to keep close. I'm small (5'2 130lbs) so can get fully dressed in snow gear in the bivy if needs be. Only thing is I wish I'd seam-sealed it right away. Since I did it after 3 years it pulled all the seam tape off and made a mess. But I'm still dry sleeping out in the rain or snow with rare waterproofing treatment.
How did you waterproof seal it?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6, 2006 Two Army divisions are preparing for a transfer of responsibility in Baghdad tomorrow, and the search for an unmanned aerial vehicle near Mosul has been suspended, military officials said.
The 3rd Infantry Division will turn over authority for Multinational Division Baghdad to the 4th Infantry Division.
Army Maj. Gen. William Webster Jr., 3rd ID commander, will case the "Marne" Division's colors during the transfer ceremony, and Maj. Gen. J.D. Thurman, 4th ID commander, will uncase the "Ironhorse" Division's colors.
In other news, the 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team has suspended its search for a Raven unmanned aerial vehicle in Mosul. The unit lost contact with the UAV Jan. 4 during operations in the northern Iraqi city.
The Raven is the Army's smallest UAV, weighing about 4.5 pounds with a wingspan of about five feet.

Document Type
- Article (3) (remove)
- Kernel learning for ligand-based virtual screening:discovery of a new PPARgamma agonist (2010)
- Poster presentation at 5th German Conference on Cheminformatics: 23. CIC-Workshop Goslar, Germany. 8-10 November 2009 We demonstrate the theoretical and practical application of modern kernel-based machine learning methods to ligand-based virtual screening by successful prospective screening for novel agonists of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) [1]. PPARgamma is a nuclear receptor involved in lipid and glucose metabolism, and related to type-2 diabetes and dyslipidemia. Applied methods included a graph kernel designed for molecular similarity analysis [2], kernel principle component analysis [3], multiple kernel learning [4], and, Gaussian process regression [5]. In the machine learning approach to ligand-based virtual screening, one uses the similarity principle [6] to identify potentially active compounds based on their similarity to known reference ligands. Kernel-based machine learning [7] uses the "kernel trick", a systematic approach to the derivation of non-linear versions of linear algorithms like separating hyperplanes and regression. Prerequisites for kernel learning are similarity measures with the mathematical property of positive semidefiniteness (kernels). The iterative similarity optimal assignment graph kernel (ISOAK) [2] is defined directly on the annotated structure graph, and was designed specifically for the comparison of small molecules. In our virtual screening study, its use improved results, e.g., in principle component analysis-based visualization and Gaussian process regression. Following a thorough retrospective validation using a data set of 176 published PPARgamma agonists [8], we screened a vendor library for novel agonists. Subsequent testing of 15 compounds in a cell-based transactivation assay [9] yielded four active compounds. The most interesting hit, a natural product derivative with cyclobutane scaffold, is a full selective PPARgamma agonist (EC50 = 10 ± 0.2 microM, inactive on PPARalpha and PPARbeta/delta at 10 microM). We demonstrate how the interplay of several modern kernel-based machine learning approaches can successfully improve ligand-based virtual screening results.
- SQUIRRELnovo : de novo design of a PPARalpha agonist by bioisosteric replacement (2009)
- Shape complementarity is a compulsory condition for molecular recognition [1]. In our 3D ligand-based virtual screening approach called SQUIRREL, we combine shape-based rigid body alignment [2] with fuzzy pharmacophore scoring [3]. Retrospective validation studies demonstrate the superiority of methods which combine both shape and pharmacophore information on the family of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). We demonstrate the real-life applicability of SQUIRREL by a prospective virtual screening study, where a potent PPARalpha agonist with an EC50 of 44 nM and 100-fold selectivity against PPARgamma has been identified. SQUIRREL molecular superposition is based on a graph-matching routine [4] and allows partial matching. We used this advantage for searching for bioisosteric replacement suggestions in a database of molecular fragments derived from a collection of drug-like compounds [5]. The bioisosteric groups suggested by our tool SQURRELnovo, can be used for ligand-based de novo design by a human expert. Using the fibrate derivative GW590735 [6] as query, we designed a novel lead structure by substitution of the acidic head group and hydrophobic tail. The synthesis and following testing in a cell-based reporter gene assay [7,8] revealed that the designed structure activates PPARalpha with an EC50 of 510 nM.
- DOGS: reaction-driven de novo design of bioactive compounds (2012)
- We present a computational method for the reaction-based de novo design of drug-like molecules. The software DOGS (Design of Genuine Structures) features a ligand-based strategy for automated 'in silico' assembly of potentially novel bioactive compounds. The quality of the designed compounds is assessed by a graph kernel method measuring their similarity to known bioactive reference ligands in terms of structural and pharmacophoric features. We implemented a deterministic compound construction procedure that explicitly considers compound synthesizability, based on a compilation of 25'144 readily available synthetic building blocks and 58 established reaction principles. This enables the software to suggest a synthesis route for each designed compound. Two prospective case studies are presented together with details on the algorithm and its implementation. De novo designed ligand candidates for the human histamine H4 receptor and γ-secretase were synthesized as suggested by the software. The computational approach proved to be suitable for scaffold-hopping from known ligands to novel chemotypes, and for generating bioactive molecules with drug-like properties.
