My Thoughts: Food truck doesn't feed Midtown needs
As a resident of Midtown, I am extremely disappointed in the decision by Loeb Properties not to renew the lease for the only independent garden center in the Midtown area.
Here are the reasons why I believe it is a poor decision to add a food truck complex in place of Midtown Nursery:
Midtown Nursery has an organic, green and sustainable business model. It is on trend with the sustainability movement and the lifestyle Midtown residents want to enjoy on the weekends.
One seeking to shop at a nursery has to travel to Poplar near Mendenhall in East Memphis for the next reasonable option. I want to shop for flowers and gardening supplies in my own neighborhood. This is a business that would thrive for the long term in the area.
Midtown Nursery complements existing retail businesses in the neighborhood. The nursery suits the character of the Cooper-Young and Central Gardens neighborhoods, and adds to the growing mix of businesses related to home decor, design and art that are key to the resurgence of the area.
I recently visited Savannah, Ga., where residents are successfully promoting a design district with a historic area of downtown. It serves a strong and growing "creative class" of young urban professionals.
All these design businesses are local startups with as much as a 15-year history — a healthy mix of antique and design stores all within walking distance of one another.
The food truck concept is not sustainable and not rational. The food truck movement is a national trend to bring eating options to areas without a wide array of food and beverage choices.
The Cooper-Young and Overton Square areas are both replete with restaurants. There are many eclectic choices. The food truck concept will more likely cannibalize the current restaurant businesses.
Loeb Properties should consider a more complementary mix. I believe one of the reasons Overton Square floundered in an earlier period was the limited mix of retail — too many bars and restaurants with limited daytime retail. Successful developments create a healthy mix of retail that has staying power.
The Truck Stop is a dangerous proposition for traffic congestion. The corner location will be difficult for traffic, given the intersection narrows to one lane and there is limited parking.
The area serves children at Peabody Park and the elderly at the Peabody Center. The Truck Stop will create a dangerous intersection for pedestrians, bikers and for drivers navigating the one-lane passage at the juncture of Cooper-Young and Central Gardens.
The Truck Stop presents a pollution center and a fast-food fiasco. The concept for the corner sounds like a very unhealthy mix of diesel fumes, fast food and traffic congestion, further adding to our local problem with poor health, obesity and diabetes.
This is not a healthy option that fits with the atmosphere of the Cooper-Young and Central Gardens neighborhoods.

City Planning and Landscape Architecture Collection
The City Planning and Landscape Architecture Collection serves the Departments of Urban & Regional Planning and Landscape Architecture, as well as the students and faculty in various disciplines across the University of Illinois. Considered one of the most interdisciplinary collections in the Library, the unit collects in the areas of land-use policy, environmental planning and law, waste management, low-cost community housing and community services, demographics, historic preservation, landscape design, ecology, third-world planning issues, local government, tourism, and many other facets of city planning and landscape architecture.
The collection is particularly well-known for its historical holdings. The landscape architecture component of the collection began with the founding of the University of Illinois in 1867; the city planning component began in 1913, when the country's first professor of city planning, Charles M. Robinson, joined the faculty. Today, the collection contains more than 150,000 volumes, more than 20,000 of which can be found in the Isaac Funk Family Library after being relocated from Mumford Hall and more than 100,000 of which can be found in the main bookstacks or Rare Book and Special Collections Library. Non-print materials, such as slide sets and videocassettes, can be found in the Undergraduate Library Media Center.

7. After 8-11 years, pay off your mortgage or refinance depending on interest rates.
Having a mortgage at even as high as 6% means it is only costing you 4% and the government is paying the other 2% if you are in the 33% marginal tax bracket. Additionally, I don't think you will ever see interest rates as low as they are right now. Just as the government will benefit from devaluing the buying power of the U.S. dollar because it will make it easier to pay off the national debt, so it will make it easier for you to pay off your mortgage with cheaper dollars over the next 30 years.
Bert Whitehead writes in "How to Get the Best Mortgage", "A 30-year fixed rate mortgage is your best protection against inflation." His article is worth reading and in it you will find much of the same advice.
Another way to look at a home mortgage which of the following is better:
(1) Having a home worth $360,000 which is appreciating with inflation
(2) Having a home worth $360,000 appreciating with inflation PLUS a $300,000 fixed 30-year mortgage on which you are paying 3% interest and the government is paying 1% interest by lowering your taxes AND $300,000 in taxable investments earning an average of 9-10% over the next 30-years.
Clearly (2) is advantageous. Any time you wanted you could slap your investments over your mortgage and be debt free. In fact, if your investments appreciate by 10% they should double in about 7 years. That means in 7 years you could pay off your mortgage and still have $300,000 in investments left over.
One more advantage, if you ever do need the money, if you have a mortgage you have a $300,000 cushion of an emergency fund. If you don't have the mortgage and you get in financial trouble. NO ONE will loan you money once you are in financial trouble.
And this leads us to the reason for the mixed advice. If you are already living hand to mouth and unable to live within your means, you are not able to handle a mortgage well. If you can't save money, then having $300,000 sitting around able to be spent will result in you spending it. Those with a millionaire mindset can have a mortgage. Those apt to spend and not save should work at being debt free and learning to save.
Automate your savings, save 15% of your income consistently and decide to be rich.

Yum, this looks great! More Boston coverage, please!
Hi Chichi,
I made this dish today and it tastes great, and as a first timer to this ingredient I loved the texture. The only thing I can't figure out is how you got that lovely brown color. Mine never got darker than a few shades beyond the "raw" color and they were still pretty beige. Your picture looks much more appetizing. Any thoughts? Did you use brown sugar?
My husband and I will be in San Jose for a few days and then driving up to Napa along I-680 and CA-29. I'm interested in any and all great, cheap local recommendations in San Jose or along that driving route. This trip, I'm thinking "ethnic" rather than burgers and diners, which we can get at home. We will have a car and we're omnivores. Thanks in advance!

The Axis Communications P5522-E Compact PTZ Outdoor Dome Network Camera measures 7.5" (19 cm) making it suitable for outdoor areas that require discreet monitoring, such as parking lots. Equipped with a 1/4" CCD sensor, the camera delivers excellent image quality at resolutions up to 704 x 480. A minimum illumination of 1 lux (color) and 0.3 lux (B&W) makes the camera suitable for low light surveillance.
Defined by its Day & Night ICR (infrared cut filter removal) function, the camera switches between color and B&W as per changes in ambient lighting ensuring accurate color reproduction in daylight and enhanced B&W images at night. Wide Dynamic Range technology compensates for commonly faced issues such as high-contrast light, back light, glare, and light-reflective environments by adjusting the light and restoring detail to deliver identifiable images, i.e., objects in both dark and light areas of a scene to be visible.
The PTZ functions of this camera enables you to remotely move the camera in a 360° pan via auto-flip for overview surveillance, a 180° tilt and a 18x optical zoom with autofocus for detailed viewing. Additionally, guard tours are enabled through which the camera automatically goes to different preset positions (both zoomed in and out) to check on different areas of a scene. The Advanced Gatekeeper function enables automatically moves the camera to a preset position when motion is detected in a pre-defined area. For example, in a parking lot, when motion is detected, the camera zooms in to capture a license plate and returns to the default position after a set amount of time has gone by.
For video compression, the P5522-E Network Camera transmits multiple streams in H.264 and MJPEG video formats at full frame rates in 4CIF resolution or individually optimized for different quality needs and bandwidth constraints. Additionally, it has an SD slot for on-board storage of the recorded footage.
Intelligent video capabilities include video motion detection, audio detection, and active tampering alarm. The camera supports an open API (Application Programming Interface) for software integration, including the ONVIF specification for interoperability between network video products. With its Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, this camera receives power and video/audio and PTZ controls via a PoE midspan, making it easier to install the camera most anywhere and not only near a power supply; thereby, eliminating the need for power cables and reducing installation costs. For added flexibility, the camera comes with both clear and smoked covers to use as per your requirement.
Because the camera housing is IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated, the camera is protected against dust, rain, snow, ice, and corrosion and no additional enclosures are required. The PTZ Dome Camera can operate in adverse temperatures ranging from -4 to 122°F (-20 to 50°C).
Excellent Image Quality
- 1/4" CCD image sensor delivers clear and crisp images at resolutions up to 704 x 480
- Minimum illumination of 1 lux in color and 0.3 lux in B&W modes
- Automatic IR cut filter for switching between color and B&W modes
- Backlight compensation adjusts video gain to correct the exposure when the object is in front of a bright light source
- White balance feature adjusts the red, green, and blue colors taking a standard white reference to get clear images
- Wide Dynamic Range technology corrects the lighting of a scene delivering a true-to-life representation of the original scene
Optimized Use of Bandwidth and Storage
- Multiple H.264 and MPEG streams can be provided simultaneously either in full frame rate or individually optimized for different quality needs and bandwidth constraints
- SD/SDHC card slot for on-board storage for recording images or small video clips
- Built-in 802.3af compliant PoE allows the camera to receive power directly from its network interface, without the need for additional wiring and cables
- IP66- and NEMA 4X-rated casing protects the camera from dust, rain, snow, ice, and corrosion
Intelligent Features
- PTZ - 360° pan via auto-flip, 180° tilt, 18x optical zoom and 12x digital zoom with 100 preset position
- Autofocus enables clear and focused footage even when PTZ functions are performed on the camera
- Video motion detection feature compares the current frame with a pre-determined standard frame to accurately trigger an alarm if motion is detected
- On motion detection, pre-/post-alarm images are stored in a video buffer
- API (Application Program Interface) supports an open API for software integration, including the ONVIF specification and the VAPIX and Axis Camera Application Platform from Axis Communications
- Password Protection restricts access to unauthorized persons
- IP Filtering restricts access to one or more user groups; user groups can be created with an IP address range being defined for each group
- Digest Authentication uses a system where the network server authenticates a user request through a domain controller and then grants access to authorized users only
- User Access Log - maintains a log of all the users that were granted access to the camera image data on the network
- HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over SSL) protects streaming data transmission across the network

Gillette, Wyo. - The pronghorn buck looked across a quarter-mile of grass and sagebrush and seemed to smile.
There was ample reason.
Michael King of Mequon and I crouch-walked in the animal's direction, binoculars held atop our heads like 6-inch horns, and did our best pronghorn antelope impersonations.
There are easier ruses to pull off. Some shag carpets offer more cover than well-browsed western grassland. And pronghorn have excellent vision.
But we had acquired a goat-like, sagebrush aroma after a few days of crawling around the high plains. And since it was the start of the animals' mating season and bucks were defending territories, we opted for a proactive hunting strategy.
The buck took a few steps in our direction and bent to thrash and mark a sagebrush with its horns.
We continued our approach; the buck closed the distance, then circled in an attempt to get downwind.
The judgment of males of all species can be compromised in the quest for procreation. But this pronghorn buck retained at least a thread of survival instinct.
At 75 yards - beyond my bow range - it turned and gave us the prairie goat salute. It raised the white hair on its rump and emitted a loud whistle from its lungs.
The buck bounded away, having alerted any other pronghorn in the area that the two upright walkers with funny hats were interlopers.
"Close," King said with a smile as he lowered his binoculars. "But there are more where that came from."
Together with King, 48, I traveled with Russ Guerndt, 64, of Hartford and Ray Clough, 63, of Appleton for a few days of archery hunting for pronghorn antelope and mule deer in northeastern Wyoming.
We hunted a private ranch and public grasslands south of Gillette.
Guerndt first came to the area in 1982 with Carrie "Nip" Narf of Slinger, a former outdoor writer for the Hartford Times Press.
"We had no idea of how to hunt out here," Guerndt said. "It was all learning by the seat of the pants."
Guerndt has returned more than 20 times to bowhunt the area, though this year he opted to serve as camp cook and hunt consultant.
King is an accomplished bowhunter but is better known as the retired Milwaukee Wave forward and all-time leading scorer in indoor professional soccer.
King grew up in England with a keen interest in the outdoors but never hunted until he settled in the U.S. Guerndt and other members of the Hartford Conservation and Gun Club befriended King and took him on his first western hunt.
In 1995, King killed his first big game animal with a bow, a pronghorn, in this area of Wyoming.
"The freedom and openness of the land, and to be able to hunt it, made a big impression on me," King said. "I was hooked."
Clough is a retired schoolteacher who grew up in Hartford. Like many Wisconsin outdoorsmen, he dreamed of giving western big-game hunting a try.
The pronghorn is an iconic American wildlife species. Unique to North America, the animal grows horns, not antlers, and has been clocked running more than 50 mph, the fastest land mammal on the continent.
The species was decimated by market hunting, disease and habitat loss in the late 1800s and early 1900s. At one point, biologists estimated its numbers had dwindled from several million to about 20,000 and feared the pronghorn may go extinct.
But with the implementation of modern, scientific wildlife management, protective regulations and funding from hunting license sales and excise taxes on hunting and shooting equipment, pronghorn numbers have recovered well.
Wyoming had an estimated pronghorn population of 527,000 animals in 2010, most of any state. In fact, many management units are more than twice "over goal" and many ranchers invite hunters to help reduce pronghorn numbers and lower grazing pressure on grasslands.
In 2010, Wyoming sold 75,837 antelope licenses, including 46,041 to nonresidents. Last year pronghorn hunters killed 31,653 bucks, 24,527 does and 2,683 fawns, for a total harvest of 58,863.
The license sales provided more than $7 million in revenue to Wyoming wildlife managers. Pronghorn hunters spent more than $25 million in Wyoming, according to state estimates.
Wildlife managers do have concerns for the pronghorn's future, including declining range quality and loss of habitat from escalating mineral development.
In the high plains of northeastern Wyoming, pronghorn outnumber the humans.
"We used to see more mule deer than we do now, but it looks like the conditions are favoring the antelope," Guerndt said.
The area is a checkerboard of ranches, public grasslands, coal mines and oil and gas extraction facilities. The elevation (over 4,000 feet) exceeds the population of most towns in the region.
We saw pronghorn on most ranches and along most highways. They also are notorious grazers on the Gillette golf course.
But pursuing them on foot with a bow is far different from viewing them from a vehicle.
The terrain is covered with cactus; the only trees are in creek bottoms. Stalking in these environs can turn hunters into pincushions.
King earned a reputation for durability over a 22-year professional soccer career. But in one notable visit to the training table after his western bowhunt, the Wave staff had to extract a cactus spine from King's knee.
We hunted in ground blinds near water holes, but the pronghorn were wary of the new bumps on the landscape.
We stalked bucks when a ravine or other feature offered some cover.
We purchased a pronghorn decoy and walked behind it. And we put our binoculars on top of our heads.
Finally, Clough and I filled our tags with a method Guerndt and crew devised years ago. We used a couple pieces of lumber to construct a "tree stand" in a windmill and waited for pronghorn to pass within range.
The handsome bucks weighed about 135 pounds and had thick, black horns about 12 inches long. We gave thanks to the wild, native animals and carefully saved the hides, meat and heads.
We shared a meal of grilled pronghorn tenderloins in camp, mindful of the recovery that led to the current abundance and hopeful careful management will keep the population healthy into the future.

Daily Slice: Andouille Sausage Pizza at NYC's Two Boots
We were a little more restrained in our ordering for the pizza you see above, going with just andouille sausage. An appropriate choice, don't you think? As it turns out, andouille is a pretty damn fine pizza topping. Smoky, spicy, and sliced moderately thick, it turned Two Boots's biggest weakness — that too-thick crust — into a strength. On a thinner pizza it might be too much; here, it works. More

What is the difference between External ID and Unique ID?
Knowledge Article Number: 000005395
What is the difference between External ID and Unique ID?
This is a field that usually references an ID from another (external) system. For instance, if the customer has an Oracle Financials system that they will be linking with salesforce.com, it may be easier for them to be able to refer to the Oracle ID of account records from within salesforce. So they would create an external ID in salesforce.com and they would load the Oracle ID into that field for each account. They can then refer to that ID field, rather than the salesforce.com id.
Additionally, if you have an external ID field, the field becomes searchable in the sidebar search. You also can use the upsert API call with the extenal ID to refer to records.
You can have multiple records with the same external ID (though it is not reccomended, as it will defeat the purpose of the external id)
Unique ID field
This is a setting for the field that will prevent you from using the same value in multiple records for the unique field. So if I create a 5 character text field and make it unique, and I create a record with the value "12345" I will not be able to create another record with that same value in the unique field. If I try to do so, I will get an error saying that the value is already in use.
Often, External Ids are set with the unique property so that the IDs will be unique to each record.

I love the way I look wearing a fabulous pair of boots, but my feet sometimes pay the price. What can I do to make my boots more comfortable to wear?
As we like to say, treat your shoes rather than your feet! Start off using Heavenly Heelz or Pressure Pointz at the top of the zipper area to avoid skin irritation and to prevent snagging hosiery. If you have narrow heels or your boots are a tad big, use Heavenly Heelz behind your heel to prevent slippage.
Haute Heelz can be placed on the boot above the top of your foot to create a more snug fit. If you're wearing high heeled boots, place a pair of Tip Toes at the ball of foot area to help your feet stay in place and prevent your toes from getting scrunched.
Use Pressure Pointz to pinpoint problem areas in your boots where there's friction or painful spots due to corns or calluses. As always, feel free to double up one cushion on top of the other if your boot has a lot of extra space, or cut the cushions to achieve the best placement and fit for your needs. Finally, to keep your boots looking great all season, try the Boot Camp boot shaper to prevent creases in your boots while they sit in your closet.
Shop your preferred boot solution combo below to add directly to your cart.

The chief problem is one of cultural bias against mathematics. In today's culture, we teach our children that it's ok to "not be a math person," as if the ability to do mathematics requires a certain set of genetic traits. Is it any wonder that the bulk of people you meet every day have no clue as to how to go about logically working through a problem and coming to a decision on it? Is it any surprise how many people can't form a coherent argument, lacking any basis in logic?
Contrast this mindset with other subjects. Suppose I came out with the statement, "I'm just not a history person. I just can't get my head around it." Or, how about, "I'm just not a grammar person. It's all so hard, I'll never use it, so why bother?" I'd be labeled a blithering idiot.

And as I understand it, unlimited data is actually cheaper on the iPhone than on other phones (at least, at the time of the launch) due to the fact that the iPhone really needs it and Apple demanded it.
I'm pretty sure you didn't quite understand it correctly then. When the original iPhone was launched, the data plan was $20/month. When the 3G launched, it jumped to $30/month. No change when the 3GS hit the shelves. I've been paying $15/month for unlimited data on AT&T for years now.

Submission + - Apple says iTunes bugs remain on Vista
The iTunes program is key to synching music on computers with iPod portable players, and the latest version, iTunes 7.1, comes a month after the iPod and Macintosh computer maker warned PC users against installing Windows Vista until Apple could fix the problems.
Apple removed that outright warning from its Web site on Monday and stated instead that the updated iTunes is recommended for use with most editions of Windows Vista. But Apple also conceded that some glitches, including possible corruption of a user's iPod player upon ejection from a PC, remain. Story continues below advertisement
"Apple is actively working with Microsoft to resolve a few remaining known issues," the posting stated.
Apple representatives declined further comment and would not say how much longer users would have to wait for iTunes to be completely Vista-friendly.
According to the notice posted on Apple's Web site, the previous glitch that prevented Vista users from playing music or video purchased from the online iTunes Store is no longer an issue.
But in addition to the iPod-ejection problem, Apple warned that iTunes 7.1 may still exhibit difficulties synchronizing Windows contacts with an iPod. The text and graphics of iTunes running on a Vista machine also may not be correctly displayed, though resizing the iTunes screen should correct the issue.
Apple also reminded users that iTunes remains unsupported on 64-bit editions of either Windows XP or Windows Vista.
Microsoft has said it is working with a long list of partners, including Apple, to make sure their software is compatible with Vista. The new operating system launched Jan. 30.
Though Microsoft and Apple are partners in some cases — iTunes works with Windows PCs and Microsoft Office has a version for Macs — the two are also longtime rivals. They compete in computer systems, which Microsoft dominates, and in the digital music arena, which Apple dominates.

Runic Games - All News

Runic Games - Losing Its Founders
Acoording to a new post on the foriums of Runic Games the founders of the comany are leaving to start a new game studio. Sad news indeed as I enjoyed both games.
Let's wish them good luck, and hope they make more RPGs at the new studio.
From Runic founder Travis Baldree,
I have a little something I'd like to share. It is with the strangest mixture of elation, fondness, fear, and bitter-sweetness that I'm announcing my departure from Runic Games, a company which I co-founded nearly six years ago, and have led as its President and lead engineer ever since.
I should say from the outset that this is an amicable departure, that I consider the amazing team at Runic my friends and family, and that it is a privilege that they've let me get away with running the place for this long. I love them all, and the biggest downside to all of this is that I won't get to see them every day. They are the reason that Runic has succeeded, and are the best group of people you could hope to meet or work with.
I feel more than confident in their ability to continue to excel, drawing on all of their collective talent. I'm excited for the world to see the project they are working on now, and I know it will be spectacular when you get to play it for yourselves.
I'd also like to thank Perfect World, who have been the best partner Runic Games could have hoped to find, and have been unfailingly supportive of us over the years, no matter how many curveballs I have thrown their way. It's my wish that I can maintain a great relationship with you all going forward.
Erich Schaefer, my friend and fellow Runic co-founder, will be departing Runic as well as my equal partner. I'm so gratified to be able to continue working with him.
I'm personally excited - oh, hell, I'm SUPER-STOKED - to be getting back to smaller-scale development, where I can wear many, many hats performing many, many different kinds of tasks. Working within the boundaries of limited means and resources is the best fun I've ever had, and that sort of work satisfies me in a fundamental way - I can't wait to be working that way again.
"o those of you who have played our games, interacted with us on our forums, met us at trade-shows, and Tweeted/Facebooked/social-media'ed with us over the years, I want to thank you all. You have helped to make this a rewarding journey for me, and I hope the same holds true for you.
April 2nd will be my last day at Runic, as I tie up some last technical tasks for the team, and then it's on to the next thing! I hope to see you all again soon, online, or maybe at one of those trade-shows.
Okay, if this goes on too much longer I'm gonna burst into tears-
Don't be a stranger!

The conference, which will again bring together the most senior and influential figures in children and adult services, looks set to be more important than ever. Since the last NCAS conference in Manchester in November 2010 there have been significant developments in both fields against a dominating backdrop of severe funding cuts across the public sector.
Given the pace and significance of developments in both children's and adult services this year's conference looks set to be one of the most important and high profile in recent times. In adult social care and health, for example, major reform is before us with both agendas likely to fundamentally alter the way councils address the health and wellbeing needs of their populations. In children's services, the defining challenges will be fleshing out a strong, strategic council role in education as more schools become academies; retaining a strong element of local flexibility as schools funding is radically reformed; and successfully building a sector-led programme of improvement support for Children's Services authorities.
Political speakers include:
- Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Education
- Rt Hon Andy Burnham MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Education
- Rt Hon John Healey MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Health.
There will also be two ministerial sub-plenary sessions on children and families and adult social care to allow delegates a real opportunity to engage with Government on what the recent developments mean for your communities.
Mayor of Newham, Sir Robin Wales will outline how council services can help transform the lives of residents by focusing on building aspiration and resilience, leading into a keynote address by Geoff Mulgan, new Chief Executive of NESTA who will address how the sector can ensure that the leadership it is providing in the current climate is perceptive, proactive and emotionally intelligent. On Friday, in a session entitled 'good decisions in tough times' Martina Milburn, Chief Executive, The Prince's Trust; Baroness Debbie Scott, Chief Executive, Tomorrow's People and Lord Victor Adebowale, Chief Executive, Turning Point will be asking how providers can ensure that the needs of the community are at the heart of how services are designed and delivered, including engaging with young people and people with complex needs. In the current age of austerity identifying practical models for delivery are essential and this session will explore this.
As part of a packed and vibrant programme of focussed and relevant policy and fringe events you can take the opportunity for questions and discussions and hear from speakers from across the children's and adults sector, including:
- Alzheimer's Society
- Department for Education
- Action for Children
- Department of Health
- Carers UK
- Fostering Network
- College of Social Work
- National Youth Agency
- Council for Disabled Children
- Social Care Institute for Excellence
- Youth Justice Board
Speakers include:
- Lord Michael Bichard, Director, Institute of Government
- David Behan, Director General for Social Care, Local Government and Care Partnerships, Department of Health
- Fiona Blacke, Chief Executive, the National Youth Agency
- Cynthia Bower, Chair, Care Quality Commission
- David Brindle, Public Services Editor, The Guardian
- Frances Done Chair, Youth Justice Board
- Dame Barbara Hakin, National Managing Director Commissioning Development, Department of Health
- Jeremy Hughes, Chief Executive, Alzheimer's Society
- Simon Parker, Director, New Local Government Network
- Imelda Redmond CBE, Chief Executive, Carers UK
- Dame Philippa Russell, Standing Commission on Carers

Very dry
This is solid no frills jacket. It's dry and fits me well (I'm 5'8" 145 lbs 37" chest and wear a small). The chest zips are great for cooling off, and the zippers are solid. My only suggestion would be to have more pockets.

Marissa decided the house was way too quiet without our furry friend around. Even the cats were looking at each other, waiting for someone to challenge their reign of the house! That's when we found our new friend in the online classifieds. A family in Port Charlotte, FL (about 2.5 hours drive) had been surprised with a litter of nine purebred rottie puppies! They had only one left — the one they'd considered keeping as their own.
We drove that day to look at the little guy and fell in love. He's just over eight weeks old and his name is Guinness.

So what's the big deal about these circle lenses, anyway? Why are so many people trying to snag them?
If you're not really updated when it comes to contact lens styles, then here's a true-blue fact for you: circle lenses are the "in" thing nowadays. Why? It's because these beauties are especially designed to make your eyes (particularly your iris) look bigger and wider, to achieve that innocent yet sexy look. The color of the lenses cover most of the area, going beyond the iris and giving an impression that your eyes are larger than they really are.
Just how popular are circle lenses? In Japan, Taiwan, and Korea alone, there are about 800,000 girls wearing circle lenses of varying colors to match their moods and ensembles. This then goes to say that circle lenses are not just a medical must-have they are also a fashion staple! With a variety of stunning colors designed to make your eyes stand out, you can be sure that you'll look more interesting and eye-catching when you wear contact lenses.
Celebrities all over the world make use of circle lenses, from Taiwanese singer/actress Cyndi Wang to Hollywood fixtures such as Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears and Ali Lohan. They not only wear them for medical purposes, but they also wear them for work (such as Robert Pattinson in the Twilight series) and social events.
Given this rising popularity, it is clear that circle lenses are the fashion discovery of the season. Gone are the days when looking great face-wise was all about the make up. Now, the color of your eyes can help you make a delicious fashion statement, too. The circle lens fashion craze is spreading all over the world from North America to Europe! Young girls are constantly collecting various colors of circle lenses to accommodate their ever-increasing wardrobe.
A great thing about circle lenses and probably one of the reasons why so many young girls love them so much is that it allows them to be who they want to be according to their moods. They can go for a cool baby blue for a classic and innocent look, a dark brown for a girl-next-door vibe, or even a patterned one for a hip, bold and edgy party appeal.
At the end of the day, this much is clear: circle lenses are a great way for young girls to show off their personalities and their wardrobes. Thanks to circle lenses, they can now go out and meet up with their friends without having to pile on a load of makeup. They can simply put on their circle lenses, and let these beauties do all the talking for them. The best thing about this is that they can be different each day!

It would hurt us defensively to add either Allen or Terry, however we could always go after Grant Hill or Matt Barnes to provide D while they are on the floor. Allen and Terry are not terrible defenders, however are a bit slow at this point in their careers.
Grant Hill would be preferable for his leadership/shooting ability/defense
We could also make a run at Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Jason Terry as a backup sharpshooter or Chris Kaman, Ersan Ilyasova, JaVale McGee, or Kris Humphries as a backup 4/5. We could have most of these players for the $5-$6M range
There also could be potential to bring Crash back to play the 3. He won't command more than $6-$7M
This would end up with a lineup like this:
Crash/#11 pick
We only get Howard if we take on Turkoglu. If that is the case, their combined salaries are $30.7M
We could ship them #6, a future 1st rounder, Batum ($9M) Crawford ($5M) Hickson ($6M) and Wes ($6.5M), Which is $26.5M. Blazers would still have enough cap space to make a run at Dwill and draft a 2 or a 3 at #11 It hurts our depth, but that would be an attractive team for a pg like dre to sign with, and all we would need to add is a back up big and another wing shooter.
Trade Batum & #11 to Charlotte for #2 and draft Bradley Beal, and then flip him to #4 & #24 from Cleveland . . . That would work most likely
From a leadership perspective, Roy will always be missed. His production can be replaced, but it was what he was able to do during time-outs, during practice, at half-time that the team has sorely missed.
Bet he has either a trade in the works for a Center or is set on drafting one.
Cleveland also had the Browns bolt to Baltimore only to win a Super Bowl 4 years later as the Ravens.
His ceiling is very low, sounds like he will be at best a Steve Blake type with slightly better passing, and not as good of a shot.
Trade Batum for #8 and package #6, #8, & #11 to NOH for the #1. Imagine what they could do with 3 lottery picks in terms of turning around that team, and imagine what Portland could do with a dominant front court of LMA & Davis.
Let's see what Olshey has. Imagine a lineup like this:
1: Deron Williams and/or Steve Nash
2: Wes/Bradley Beal
3 Batum
4: LaMarcus/JJ Hickson
5: Roy Hibbert
1: Deron Williams and/or Steve Nash
2: Batum/Wes
3 Kidd-Gilchrist
4: LaMarcus/JJ Hickson
5: Roy Hibbert
Let's see what Olshey has. Imagine a lineup like this:

You forgot John Nash after Trader Bob was fired ;)
100% agree he could be high reward. All I am stating is the approach the Blazers have stated they are taking. Even KD took 3 years before he was making a real impact.
If they are going after a big, and want to win now, they will more than likely trade the pick(s) and a few pieces for a big who is ready to play.
PASS: He comes across as more Hasheem Thabeet/Kwame Brown than Dwight Howard.
Plus, the Blazers are Retooling, not Rebuilding, and 18-year old bigs tend to take 3-4 years before making a significant impact. If he is available at 11, take him, sign a starting center and JJ while he plays that 4th big man role and gets 13-15 mins a game to develop.
Good luck . . . and JC, please don't tell anyone in any shape or form related to the Blazers to "break a leg" . . . please!
#1 issue with our state government: It acts like a trailer park mom who just won a $5k lottery, that money is spent before it even hits the bank.
I am not a conservative by any means, however these are chances where we can show a little self control as a government and save as much of this as possible rather than spend spend spend.
Charge more for increasingly poor shows/writing/content . . . that model will implode soon.
These cities would be perfect fits:
Salt Lake City
San Antonio
Des Moines
You forgot to mention Brandon Roy (love him, but another injured player who ultimately did not pan out) Martell Webster, trading Jermaine O'Neal, Getting Sabonis 10 years too late, and overall having a complete inability to attract free agents (Kenny Anderson being the best in the last 20 years)
Does anyone else think that the Seattle Kings has a nice ring to it considering King County?

Sarah Leaves Cris - And Llanview - Behind!Wednesday, January 07 2009
Sarah confesses to Cris, Jessica faces Brody, Jared tries to stop David, and Rex grieves what he's missed out on with Shane...
When Sarah storms into the loft and announces, "I told him your marriage was a fake," Cris lashes out at Sarah and tells the agent that she's lying because she's jealous and a vindictive 'witch'! After the agent says he'll be opening up an investigation, he leaves, and Cris demands to talk to Sarah alone!
Once Vanessa clears the room, Cris tries to apologize but Sarah brings up the New Year's Eve kiss she saw then says, "You have feelings for her." Sarah warns that once Vanessa is shipped off, Cris will be alone - just like she will. Sarah announces that she's leaving Cris - and Llanview - behind, in order to become Puddle of Mudd's manager! Cris begs her not to go, but she reminds him that he can't have them both - then leaves the loft!
In the dayroom at St. Ann's Jessica approaches Brody and Wes, assures them that she's Jessica, then makes a funny joke to Wes saying, "You could be one of me. I have a Tess and a Bess, maybe there's a Wes in there." Jessica apologizes to both Brody and Wes for what she's done to Brody then Wes leaves them alone.
Brody is happy that Jessica is feeling better, but she asks, "How bad was it?" After Brody tells her everything that happened, and how Tess exposed all of his demons, Jessica tries to leave, for fear of hurting Brody further, but he stops her - and tells Jessica that the only time he feels real is when he's with her. Brody and Jessica agree to be there to help each other… to help her find out Bess's secret and to help Brody figure out why he keeps seeing the little boy.
Back at his motel room, Wes stares at a Navy Seal picture of him and Brody and says to himself, "Let it go, man, let it go."
Sitting at The Palace, though Viki and Clint refuse to let Nora question Tess, she begs them - again - and says it's the only chance she has of prosecuting Todd. Over talk of Janet, Nora claims they can't locate her then says, "I was hoping Tess knew that Todd was planning on kidnapping the baby and running off…" To prove that Jessica is in no position to be on the stand, Viki announces that she just met Jessica's other alter - and that Bess is keeping a terrible secret, one Jessica can't handle!
Across the dining room, Tea assures Lola that she's just trying to help her get over the painful memories of having to send her father to prison. After Tea opens up about her own demons, Lola says, "I wish my mother was still alive, and that my father… that I still loved him." Tea urges Lola to open up and talk about the night her mother was murdered, but Lola says, "I'm not supposed to say anything."
Just as Tea asks if Vanessa told her to stay quiet, Vanessa appears! Tea quickly makes it sound as though she was talking about Cris and Vanessa's marriage, leading Vanessa to announce that Sarah turned them in! After Vanessa asks Lola to go on ahead of her, she warns Tea to stay away from Lola!
Jared approaches David at the diner to talk, and David briefly thanks the divine universe for bringing Jared to him! After David says he sees a lot of him in Jared, he urges Jared to bring the real Buchanan heir together with his blood brothers, Clint and Bo, in order to cleanse his own soul! Jared tries to convince David to leave the country - to ease Clint's mind - but David demands, "Why does Clint hate me?" Jared says that although Clint said he forgave David, he is haunted by all of the wrongs David has done to the Buchanans. Jared opens up a briefcase of cash and tempts David - but David starts muttering a prayer then turns Jared's offer down!
At the carriage house, Rex thanks Gigi for getting Puddle of Mudd to perform at Ultra Violet then they take advantage of the time before Shane comes home! Suddenly, Natalie arrives with Chloe, interrupting their sexapade. While Gigi takes the baby, Rex watches her interact with the little one, wishing he could have seen her with Shane as a baby. Natalie breaks the mood and announces her and Jared's engagement but says the wedding won't happen until Jessica gets home. Once Natalie leaves, Rex apologizes for not being there when Shane was little, leaving Gigi to talk about Shane's childhood - and suggesting that they can have another baby one day!
Still in St. Blazes, when Beaver wakes up in Dorian's bed, disoriented, she tells him they slept together all night long! After reminding Beaver that he's looking for David Vickers, Dorian flashes back to getting Beaver drunk then acts as though Beaver told her everything surrounding David and Asa. Dorian is pleased when Beaver says, "I'm the one who has to strip every red cent from Asa's family and give it all to David Vickers." As Beaver talks about David having to run B.E., Dorian agrees that David will need help running it, then excuses Beaver while he takes a shower.
Just as Dorian hollers that she'll get more towels, there's a knock at the door - it's 'Mel', asking what Dorian's doing there! "Dorian," Mel warns. "If you blow this, you'll be on your own." However, Dorian just wants to get B.E. back! When Beaver reappears, he asks, "Who are you talking to?" and Dorian notices that 'Mel' has disappeared! After promising to keep Beaver's secret about David, he leaves…

Re: What's in Your Bag?
Oh snap what a fun thread. I carry a Sabian cymbal bag.
I got an assortment of sticks both matched and mismatched. They are all tied together in pairs with colorful rubber bands. I have mostly generic sticks now since they are so incredibly cheap and plenteous. I get those Musicians' Gear Hickory sticks. You know, the 10 pair for $10 type of deal. Then I match them according to feel and weight, color them with markers and designs, and rubber band them together. I have like 8 pairs of those in my bag; then I have various Pro Mark pairs because they are the best, duh. I have 727's, 747's, and of course you can't go wrong with 5A's. I also have some random "Lightning Sticks" I got for like $2 a pair back before the cheap cheap sticks came out. Those Lightning Sticks suck, they are by Sound Percussion I think...5B's. I can't wait to break those.
I also have a pair of Lightning Rods and a pair of Hot Rods, and Zildjian Cymbal Mallets - the black sticks with the grey yarn ball ends.
Got a few extra rubber bands in there and a drum key or two. As well as some emergency tension rods should the very rare need occur that I ever break one. Hasn't happened yet.
For cymbals yeah I pretty much carry Sabian AA, Meinl Byzance, and Zildjian K. I'd go into detail but I'm too tired at the moment. :-)

Suspect arrested in shooting
HUNTINGTON -- Police have arrested a Huntington man in connection with several gunshots fired at a sport-utility vehicle on a high-traffic street Wednesday evening.
Lavonta Dejuan Burrell, 21, was jailed at 3:25 a.m. Thursday on charges of attempted murder and threats of terrorist acts, according to jail records and court documents.
Criminal complaints state he fired shots at the vehicle as it traveled north in the 1100 block of 20th Street. The documents were filed Wednesday night in Cabell County Magistrate Court.
The victim told police Burrell called her cellphone earlier Wednesday before texting her a photo of a bullet, which he said "had her name on it," Huntington Police Det. Chris Sperry said in the complaint.
The woman was traveling north on 20th Street at about 4:15 p.m. Wednesday when she said Burrell fired several rounds from a handgun toward her vehicle, which was struck by the bullets, Sperry said in the complaint.
There was no information in the complaint indicating the woman was injured during the incident.
Burrell sent the woman a text within moments of the shooting, which said if he saw her again "he would not stop" until she died, Sperry said in the complaint.
Cabell County 911 dispatchers received several calls regarding the shooting, and a portion of 20th Street between 9th and 11th avenues was closed while investigators were on the scene.

Rockets Roll to 82-67 Win Over UIC; Toledo off to Best Start in Eight Years
TOLEDO, OH - Toledo provided its fans plenty to cheer for in its home opener on Saturday evening with an impressive 82-67 victory over Horizon League foe UIC (2-3) in Savage Arena. The victory improves the Rockets' record to 4-1 on the young season and marks UT's best start since winning its first five contests in the 2003-04 campaign.
Sophomore G Rian Pearson continued a torrid start to his first season in a Midnight Blue and Gold uniform by scoring a career-high 27 points and swiping a team-best three steals. He is now averaging 19.8 ppg and 8.4 rpg and is one of four Rockets scoring in double figures.
Freshman G Julius Brown matched his season best with 17 points and was the only other UT player scoring in double digits.
Former Rocket F Hayden Humes paced the Flames with 11 points and 10 rebounds.
Toledo dominated defensively from the start, jumping out to a 17-3 lead just over five minutes into the contest. The Rockets didn't let up the remainder of the half and took a 45-25 cushion into their locker room.
The closest the Flames could come in the second stanza was within 12 points in the game's final minute.
The Rockets forced UIC to commit 25 turnovers, including 14 turnovers in the first half. The Flames shot just 37.0 percent from the field - 29.4 percent in the opening stanza.
UT posted a 53.1 shooting mark on their side of the court and nearly registered as many free-throw attempts (45) as field-goal attempts (49).
Toledo returns to action on Wednesday, Nov. 30 when it hosts UNC-Wilmington (0-4). Tip-off time from Savage Arena is set for 7:00 p.m.

Protoscar Lampo: Part Lambo, part lamp
The Protoscar Lampo is a two-seater cabriolet that charges about on an electrical charge from its two battery motors. And it's rather quick
"'Allo, John, got a new motor?" "Yes, actually. It's a Lampo." "A Lambo?! Blimey, John, it must have been a good year at the abbatoir!" "No, no, a Protoscar Lampo. It's an electric sports cabriolet." Pause. "You've got some funny ideas, you 'ave, John."
The Lampo is a two-door electric sports car, powered by two water-cooled Brusa electric motors each with its own single-speed gearbox. One drives the front wheels and the other drives the back, with one engine doing the gruntwork and the other set up to recover energy from braking. A 3.3kW charger is connected to each axle.
Each of the lithium-ion battery packs manage 16kWh, with a total output of 268bhp (200kW) and a total range of about 125 miles. It'll pin back your ears with more than 440Nm of torque.
"'Ere John, is it called Lampo because you plug it into a lampost to charge it? Hurhurhur!" "No, actually Lampo is Italian for 'lightning', because lightning is both electrical and fast, just like the car. It goes from 0-60mph in about 5 seconds and maxes out at 125mph." Pause. "Oh. Right. 'Ey John, what's Italian for 'goes like shish off a shovel'?"

Horse meat? Remember when starling was on the menu?
Posted: February 22, 2013|
OH, bless the dear sweet lady who, now at the age of 85 years, wrote in to the Grimsby Telegraph (Friday, February 8) in a letter that carried the headline "meat memories" in which she, after all these years, still remembers with horror that day when she found out that it was in fact horse meat being passed over the counter and not prime cut fillet English beef.
And here's me thinking that after many years it was the young ones of today that are leading such a sheltered life, thus wrapped in cotton wool from all things that could harm their little grey cells and traumatise them well into an older age.
For where, may one ask, was Kathleen Outhwaite when the likes of starling or sparrow pie were on the menu and hedgehog was baked in clay and rook or crow stew was the delicacy of the week and the only part of a pig you couldn't eat was the oink?

Below is the poem entitled Forbidden Fruit which was written by poet
Floetry. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Souls Floetry
Nector's scent intoxicates me.
Her Kisses bait me
to the succulent feast that awaits me.
In between the limbs of this peach tree
I see... A seed that pleads
for release of it's need.
Is it greed that moves my silent speech?
As I'm so giving hoping my words will reach
ears that hear not yet understand.
Intuition guides my hands...
And the peach plans
to share it's juice.
From the tip of the branch
to the roots its lets loose
violently shaking it's branches thin
from the whirlwind within
My appetite endless
No shortage of fruit to end this...

Living with a male can be difficult. As someone who has been visiting my brother for the past week I noticed that he and men in general just need their space. It's so important to them. Space is just as important to them as water is to a fish. Yes that crucial.
If a man does not have his space it can result in many things such as anger, frustration, resentment, and even dumping your girlfriend if she is "smothering" you. If you are in a relationship I cannot say how important it is for a man to have his space and for the woman to do her own thing.
We already have moms for that…
I know a girl who is always in her boyfriends business. As her friend, even I get annoyed. Someone is in a relationship it is because they want to be not because they must have someone checking up on them every 5 minutes (that is what mothers are for).
I have learned many things from visiting my brother these past few days and also from the guys I am friends with:
1) If you do not give a guy his space he will hate you.
How I know this: it's a beautiful one-bedroom apartment so it's fairly easy to be in someone's bubble at my brother's place. I noticed that the more I even sat close to him or next to him the more he moved or got up to go "eat something" from the kitchen. If there was a lot of fighting or arguing (which naturally happens when you are in a small space) he would go for a walk and "get some air" aka get some space- the space of the earth and outside is infinite. They cannot have enough space!
2) Having no life and mooching off of his is no way to live
How I know this: I've seen this through my friends. I know several girls who have been broken up with because they are so dependent on what their boyfriend is doing at night or on weekends. They just wait around and make sure they are free on Thursday after 5 because he always hit her up then. What happens when he doesn't? Then the girl sits on her ass at home and blames her anger on her boyfriend because she was not smart enough to make her own plans and live a life. Instead she waits around for a dude. Do not do this. I beg of you.
3) Women are more attractive if they are 'less attainable" which means living their own life and being independent
How I know this: This is common sense. I used to play a game with this guy I was talking too. I would experiment in a way which someone once told me. I got a text from him asking me if I am going somewhere. I waited 10 minutes or more as instructed by a friend (just to see if it worked) and after I responded that I will be attending he immediately texted me back. Now that's no big a deal, but what showed me he "chased" me was when he actually showed up to the place 15 minutes later waiting for me by himself with none of his friends around. Now point proven that when you have a life and nothing revolves around him it makes you more attractive. I mean if a guy is constantly texting you and calling and showing up you get annoyed its just too much! Think of it like doggy treats. You do not give a dog a treat every 5 minutes. Poor thing will get sick. But give them a "treat" (whatever that may be) when they deserve it.
4) Know how to make a decision. No man wants to be with a woman who doesn't know what she wants.
Know what you want ladies, because men don't! So someone has got to do it. If a man asks a woman, "Where do you want to go tonight?" SAY SOMETHING. SAY ANYTHING EXCEPT "I DON'T KNOW" Any thing!!! Anywhere. Just name a damn place. If you don't and continue this pattern he will only begin to wonder if you even know what you want in a man.
If you have any tips or stories you would like to add e-mail me at email@example.com or leave a comment below!
Did you have any experiences where your man went nuts because he didn't have his space? Or do you feel smothered in some way?

Master of Professional Engineering (Fluids)
The information on this page applies to future students. Current students should refer to their faculty handbooks for course information.
The Earth's biosphere is completely immersed in fluids. Air and water are both considered fluids and therefore every living creature on the planet is affected by the behaviour and quality of these media. Engineering practice in fluids engineering involves fluid mechanics and engineering systems that are associated with the fluid environment.
The Master of Professional Engineering (Fluids) is a 3 year full-time course delivering technical and professional outcomes that will allow you to be recognised as an Australian graduate engineer in this field. This degree has been given provisional accreditation at the level of Professional Engineering by the industry governing body, Engineers Australia http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/
If your bachelor's degree included foundational engineering units, you may be given advanced standing in the Master of Professional Engineering. Entry pathways are available for students with widely varying backgrounds.
In this course you will engage in areas of study including water resources management, wind engineering for design, coastal engineering, open channel flow and hydraulic structures, and advanced computational fluid dynamics.
The MPE is comprised of foundation units of study, elective units in the area of your specialisation and a 12-week practical industry experience component. There are also a number of professional electives you can choose from and a capstone project in your final year.
If you are interested in continuing on to complete a research degree, a research dissertation can act as a research pathway.
Course outline
Units of study information for this degree
Study plan
Candidates for the Master of Professional Engineering (Fluids) complete 144 credit points.
Candidates will also complete a 12 week industrial placement, which will provide them with the opportunity to participate in a major project in an industrial environment. Areas of study in the course include water resources management, wind engineering for design, environmental geotechnics, and open channel flow and hydraulic structures.
Further course information
Progression rules
A candidate for the degree of Master of Professional Engineering who wishes to undertake the research pathway must complete 48 credit points with an average mark of at least 75.
The faculty will monitor students for satisfactory progress towards the completion of their award course. In addition to the common triggers used to identify students not meeting academic progression requirements, students must pass any unit of study identified in the course resolutions as being critical to progression through the course.
Capstone experience
A capstone experience comprises one or more units of study designed by the faculty to provide you with an opportunity to draw together the learning that has taken place during the award, synthesise this with your prior learning and experience, and draw conclusions that will form the basis for further investigation, and intellectual and/or professional growth.
In the Master of Professional Engineering, candidates complete either an engineering project or a research pathway. Candidates need to achieve a weighted average mark (WAM) of 75% or higher in their first 48 credit points of study in order to pursue the research pathway.
The engineering project involves a research activity in a related area. Candidates learn how to examine published and experimental data, set objectives, organise a program of work and devise an experimental or developmental program.
The research pathway comprises a substantial piece of research in a related area elected by the student in discussion with a supervisor. Students need to successfully analyse a problem, formulate appropriate experiments, examine the results, and produce a well-argued, in-depth thesis.
Course outcomes and further study
Graduate opportunities
Career paths for environmental engineering graduates include developing environmental impact studies, monitoring environmental problems, cleaning up the environment and overcoming major environmental damage. This can involve work with government agencies and consultancies specialising in remediation of groundwater and surface water pollution, and disposal of municipal and mining waste.
Course accreditation
The Master of Professional Engineering (Fluids) has been accorded provisional accreditation at the level of Professional Engineering by the industry governing body, Engineers Australia http://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/
Further study
The University of Sydney is a research intensive institution with a strong track record of technology transfer, industry leadership and commercialisation. Research activities in the faculty focus on a wide range of areas from aerospace, biomedical, combustion, processing and manufacture, design, robotics, electronics, networks, wireless and satellite systems. If you would like to be part of Sydney's engineering research community, you may consider applying for admission to a research degree. Students completing a Master of Professional Engineering program with excellent average marks are eligible to undertake supervised research in the degree of Master of Philosophy or Doctor of Philosophy.
Other study options
Individual units of study within the course may be undertaken by suitably qualified candidates who do not wish to complete an award course. Non-award candidates are students of the University, consequently on satisfactory completion of unit of study requirements, candidates receive an academic transcript showing the details of the unit or units of study undertaken, with results and grades. Subject to the approval of the dean and individual course resolutions, completed non-award study may be credited to an award course.
Units of study may also be undertaken cross-institutionally by students, subject to the approval of the dean. Cross-institutional candidates are enrolled in a postgraduate award course at another university and have approval from their home institution to complete a unit or units of study at Sydney, to be credited toward their degree. Please contact the faculty about non-award and cross-institutional study.
Admission requirements
A successful applicant for admission to the Master of Professional Engineering will hold a recognised bachelor's degree in either science or engineering with a credit average (or equivalent); and have completed at least 48 credit points of tertiary level units in the areas of maths, physics, biology, chemistry, and computer studies.
All candidates for admission must have prior learning equivalent to 96 credit points in total, which is comparable to the requirements for the first two years of a Bachelor of Engineering at the University of Sydney in the stream or area of study sought for admission. Refer to the admission requirement tables in the handbook for a guide to acceptable prior learning units of study.
You may be eligible for a reduced volume of learning of up to 48 credit points, depending on the level and type of your prior tertiary studies. This will be determined by the foundation units completed in previous tertiary studies for the field you are entering. For example, if you have completed a Bachelor of Engineering or equivalent degree in the same specialisation of study for which you applied, you may be awarded advanced standing of up to 48 credit points. These credit points will be credited towards foundation units in your specialisation. Every applicant will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
