Event Information:
The RIT IEEE Student Design Contest is open to all students in an accredited undergraduate engineering program interested in presenting a design project created with the knowledge gained through their respective engineering program and with the experience they have gained from co-ops and internships.
The competition takes place on Saturday, May 10th, at RIT (located in Rochester, NY).
Competitors are required to display their projects in the atrium and give a short presentation in a lecture setting inside the adjacent auditorium. Winners will be judged based on the criteria found under the Judging Section and awarded cash prizes based on their performance.
Format of the Day's Activities
The competition will begin at 8:45am with a few words from our guest speaker.
After the keynote speaker the presentations will begin each followed by a Q and A session. There is a break for lunch and the opportunity for competitors to spend some time at their displays. After the break the presentations will resume and the day will end with an awards dinner where the winners will be announced.
Teams of up to 5 participants must register by Saturday, April 26th. This fee includes a continental breakfast, lunch, and catered dinner as well as a shirt for each member of the competing team. The first 16 teams to register will be guaranteed a spot in the competition. At least one member of the team must be an active IEEE member, up-to-date on their membership dues.
A minimum of three judges (not affiliated with RIT) will rate each project based on the quality of the presentation, demonstration, technical content, creativity and innovation, and the teamwork of the competitors.
Prizes will be distributed based on the average score given by the judges. The team with the highest average will win the grand prize of $5,000, the team with the second highest average will win second place with a prize of $3,000, and the team with the third highest average will win third place with a prize of $1,000.

Athlete of the Week
Remmington Blue
Blue burst onto the scene for the Hawks in week one, rushing for 229 yards and four touchdowns on 14 carries in the team's non-league victory over St. Raphael.
"I wasn't expecting this at all," Blue said. "It was a great game. The line did a phenomenal job. There was just great blocking the whole time, so I could really see the field."

Hi I get this error message when trying to SQL a native AS400 file using the native driver running on the as400.
The SQL statement works fine when I select from other tables in the same library but throws this exception each and everytime I try to access this one particular table.
The SQL statement is a basic select * from library.table where pempno = 23823
Pempno definitely exists in the table as a zoned decimal.
Any ideas?

« Pharmacology Versus Biology |
| A Startup's Post-Mortem »
Posted by Derek
The advent of real X-ray structures for receptors means that there are many experimental approaches that can now be tried that earlier would have been (most likely) foolhardy. My first research in the industry was on dopamine receptors, which I followed up by a stint on muscarinics, and we really did try to be rational drug designers. But that meant homology models and single-point mutations, and neither of those was always as helpful as you'd like. OK, fine: neither of them were very helpful at all, when you got right down to it. We kept trying to understand how our compounds were binding, but outside of the obvious GPCR features - gotta have a basic amine down there - we didn't get very far.
That's not to say that we didn't make potent, selective compounds. We certainly did, although you'll note that I'm not using the word "drug". For many of them, even the phrase "plausible clinical candidate" is difficult to get out with a straight face, potent and selective though they may have been. We made all these compounds, though, the old-fashioned way: straight SAR, add this on and take that away, fill out the table. Structural biology insights didn't really drive things much.
So when the transmembrane receptor X-ray structures began to show up, my first thought was whether or not they would have helped in that earlier effort, or whether they still had enough rough edges that they might have just helped to mislead us into thinking that we had things more figured out. There's a report, though, in the latest J. Med. Chem. that puts such structures to a pretty good test: can you use them to do fragment-based drug discovery?
Apparently so, at least up to the point described. This is the most complete example yet reproted of FBDD on a G-protein coupled receptor (beta-1 adrenergic). Given the prominence of receptors as drug targets, the late advent of fragment work in this field should tell you something about how important it is to have good structural information for a fragment campaign. I'm not sure if I've ever heard of one being successful without it - people say that it can be done, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the person doing it. That's not to say that X-ray structures are some sort of magic wand (this review should disabuse a person of that notion) - just that they're "necessary, but not sufficient" for getting a fragment program moving at reasonable speed. Otherwise, the amount of fumbling around at the edge of assay detection limits would be hard to take.
The beta-adrenergic receptor is the one with the most X-ray data available, with several different varieties of agonists and antagonists solved. So if any GPCR is going to get the fragment treatment, this would be the one. (There's also been a recent report of a fragment found for an adenosine receptor, which was largely arrived at through virtual screening). In this case, the initial screening was done via SPR (itself a very non-trivial technique for this sort of thing), followed by high-concentration radioligand assays, and eventual X-ray structure. They found a series of arylpiperazines, which are thoroughly believable as GPCR hits, although they don't have much of a history at the adrenergic receptor itself. The compounds are probably antagonists, mainly because they aren't making enough interactions to flip the switch to agonist, or not yet.
This paper only takes things up to this point, which is still a lot farther than anyone would have imagined a few years ago. My guess is that FBDD is still not ready for the spotlight in this field, though. This paper is from Miles Congreve and the folks at Heptares, world experts in GPCR crystallography, and presumably represents something pretty close to the state of the art. It's a proof-of-concept piece, but until the structures of more difficult receptors are available with more regularity, I don't think we'll see too much fragment work in the area. I'd be happy to be wrong about that.

They gave an oral presentation on this work at the New Orleans MEDI oral general session on Tuesday morning. I'm not an expert in the field but I thought the presentation was very good. In fact as a side note, I thought the entire oral session was good!
2. petros on April 11, 2013 10:12 AM writes...
Miles and his colleagues have been doing this for a while. The B1AR is just a model system for them to describe their methodology in more detail. Accordingly its tended to be SAR by catalogue.
But they have presented details of some of the fragments they've screened using SPR and ZoBio's TINS (NMR) assays for the A2a receptor, which has led to novel development candidates.
3. Chris Swain on April 11, 2013 1:51 PM writes...
At the Fragments meeting in Oxford there were posters/presentations describing work at Beta2, A2A, and two on the histamine H1.
4. Teddy Z on April 11, 2013 3:42 PM writes...
Also, note that this is on the STAR receptors, so these are stabilized GPCRs, which means only Heptares can do it this way. With that caveat, Receptos in SD is also doing GPCR X-ray crystallography. I saw them speak at a conference in Boston last year. I still aver that you can successfully prosecute fragments without X-ray data, you just need to be flexible in terms of what kind of "structural" data you use.

It is good to see this type of study of FBDD and applications to GPCRs being published and discussed. Hope to see more soon.

7. Frank on April 13, 2013 10:51 AM writes...
This is a great paper on a model system.
However- I think this kind of work is somewhat oversold in terms of drug discovery usefulness.
The beta adrenergic receptors are fairly easy to drug using standard methods- I don't know the numbers but there are in the order of 20-50 approved drugs that target these receptors. 50 years of work on this topic.
This subfamily of receptors already binds fragments with high affinity. Adrenaline is 180 MW and interacts with low nM affinity.
So having success with fragments on this target- well it doesn't convince me that fragments are necessarily the way to go for GPCRs.
Show me that fragment screening and/or structural biology can enable a receptor where we have poor chemical matter e.g. peptide receptors or poor orthosteric selectivity (muscarinics). This is the gap in GPCR drug discovery that currently exists- not the ability to find new chemotypes for monoamine receptors.

A single koan is meaningless, only half the story or even less.
Usually a koan must be met with a response by the teacher who presented the student with it,
And then a counter-response. Or more. Sometimes a monk might struggle decades
Or never even find an answer.
Anyway, the point is, it's not in whatever the monk happend to say.
The action was in the dance of response and counter-response. phrase and capping-phrase,
Between teacher and student.
If you think what I've just written above is a complaint rather than a straight answer to the OP,
You have missed the pont entirely.
If you think it *is* a straight answer, you deserve to be smacked upside the head for putting on airs.
If you tell me that it's both ways at once, or neither, or both-and-neither, you are hopless,
And need to log off immediately.

Artemis Fowl
The Supernaturalist
Half Moon Investigations
The Legend of Spud Murphy
Benny and Omar
Eoin Colfer - Author
Eoin Colfer grew up in Wexford, Ireland in a house with four brothers. He is a former schoolteacher who has lived in Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and Italy. Eoin (pronounced Owen) is the bestselling author of Artemis Fowl, The Legend of Spud Murphy, and other books. He now lives in Wexford with his wife and two sons.
RIF: You recently parachuted out of a plane. Why did you do it?
Eoin Colfer: I had been saying for years that I would love to do it, until finally my wife got tired of hearing it and bought me a "jump" for a present.
I really enjoyed the training and the jump, but you do realize—when you are hanging on to the wing of a small plane—that this is a dangerous sport. So in future I think I will stay inside the plane while it is in the air!
RIF: What are some of your hobbies?
EC: I read graphic novels a lot and I am learning to play the guitar. Playing the guitar is a lot more difficult than it looks. I thought that buying leather pants was half the battle!
RIF: As a kid, you wanted to be a comic book artist when you "grew up." What was it like to adapt Artemis Fowl into a graphic novel?
EC: It is a dream come true to create the graphic novel with writer Andrew Donkin and artist Giovanni Rigano who worked on The Incredibles. I act kind of like a fan when I'm around them.
RIF: Did you have a favorite fantasy author or book when you were a kid?
EC: I always loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I think the description and sheer scope of Middle Earth makes you feel like it is absolutely real.
RIF: When and why did you start writing?
EC: I started writing stories as soon as I was able to write. I think this is largely due to my parents who told my brothers and me stories all the time and fostered a love of fiction in us.
RIF: Do you think growing up in Irish culture influences you as a fantasy author?
EC: Yes, absolutely. In Ireland myths and legends are a big part of the culture. We are taught them in school. I developed an interest in fantasy stories as early as five—when my mom and dad would tell us stories of great heroes, dragons and fairies. So my parents are to blame...or to thank.
RIF: What do you like most about writing?
EC: I like the small moments of inspiration: when a sentence runs right or when a metaphor fits perfectly. One of those moments a day is enough to keep me going (but I'll take one a week if I can get it).
RIF: What, in your opinion, are the elements of a good fantasy story?
EC: Characters are at the centre of every story. The reader must care about someone in the book or they will close it, no matter what the genre.
As for elements specific to the fantasy genre I think you need to create a magical world that is unique in some way. It is impossibl to be completely new, but there should be a few fresh ideas.
RIF: How did the idea for the Artemis Fowl series come about?
EC: I wanted to create a character who was not the classic good guy. An anti-hero villian kind-of-thing. I have always enjoyed reading about these guys. Huckleberry Finn was one of the first and, in my opinion, the best.
RIF: How did you come up with the name "Artemis Fowl" for the main character?
EC: When I came up with the character, I wove him into a story I was already writing about fairies. The name Artemis comes from the Greek goddess of the hunt and means 'the hunter' when it is given to a boy. I thought this was quite apt.
RIF: What advice would you give to kids who want to write their own fantasy story?
EC: Read all the greats to see how high the standard is. Sometimes people think that all you have to do is walk through a magic door, end up in another world, be the chosen one, and kill a dragon. This is not enough anymore. The bar has been raised. Find a couple of original ideas and weave them around an interesting character (who does not necessarily have to be an orphan with a strange royal looking birthmark living with his decent foster family in the country).
RIF: Do you have any other advice for kids?
EC: Read, read, and read. Also, pay attention to what goes on around you. Other people's discarded memories could be worth a chapter or two to you. And they're free!

'I just broke into a house, and the owner came home'
PORTLAND, Ore. - The Portland Police Bureau report sums the incident up in a sentence as "Homeowner finds transient in her shower upon returning home."
The 911 tapes tell a more detailed tale.
Operator: "911."
Man: "I just broke into a house, and the owner came home."
Operator: "Y-you broke into a house?"
"Where at?"
"I don't know."
"OK, so, are you still there?"
"Yeah. I think they've got a gun."
Dogs can be heard barking in the background. The man stops responding to the operator - but replies when a woman's voice calls out to him.
"Why are you in my house?" a woman's voice calls out.
"I broke in."
'Looks like we already have a call'
Operator: "911."
Homeowner: "I have an intruder in my house. My cats are inside. I took my dogs and my daughter out. He's in the bathroom."
Operator: "Looks like we already have a call, somebody else is calling on it."
Homeowner: "He said he broke in and he was kidnapped and he was taking a shower."
"OK. We already have lots of officers driving there.".
"I got my daughter out, the cats are inside, the chickens are inside and my dog's on the porch with me."
"Did he sound like he was high or drunk?"
"Well, he's obviously nuts ..."
When officers arrived, Timothy James Chapek, 24, came out of the bathroom and surrendered without incident. He was booked for investigation of trespassing.

Philosophy Field of Flowers Collection: Philosophy Field of Flowers Fragrance
Listen, I so did not wake up this morning and say to myself, "Gee, I wish I could smell like a Field of Flowers…" but it just so happens now I WANT to smell like a Field of Flowers thanks to Philosophy.
Why oh why do these things get in my head and proceed to grip on until I say "Yes, ok, I'll go around smelling all floral-like"….dude, I don't even like floral blends but I'm ever so tempted now to try out Philosophy Field of Flowers Spray Fragrance and Philosophy Field of Flowers Body Spray. Grrr!
There must be some mentality behind all this but ado I can only chalk it up to being a beauty junkie. Honestly, Philosophy Field of Flowers Shower Gel never tempted me because as I said I just don't do florals…than suddenly Philosophy is busy releasing a body spray in the scent and my senses are slightly tickled, I'm starting to sit up and take notice now, and finally Philosophy introduces an entire fragrance…now my attention is a captured and my eye is on the prize.
I mean seriously, if they released the scent in three separate mediums it must smell like a Goddess or better right?
Count me curious, I need to get my sniffle on. I'm saying if they are going through the trouble of releasing it in three separate ways, it must smell the awesome.
Philosophy Field of Flowers Spray Fragrance ($30)
Philosophy Field of Flowers Shower Gel ($18..72)
Philosophy Field of Flowers Body Spritz ($19.97)
Whatcha think?
2/16/10 13:58 suz:
OH BOY this my kind of thing!! who can say no to flowers…or smelling like them!!!
2/16/10 14:40 suz:
O_O *thud* really? I understand if one ends up smelling like a granny….
2/16/10 13:58 Kristina:
And the packaging is so pretty! They better have this at Sephora when I go later this week so I can smell it, and if it smells good my common sense voice had better shutup so I can buy it!
2/16/10 15:03 dina:
yay i saw from the qvc. philosophy board that the fragrance is @ nordstrom. i have been talking myself outta the spritz for a few weeks now, its not going so well! def interested in seeing how the perfume spray translates. yet another reason to pay N. a visit . . .
p.s. keep reading dominant note in this one is peony and comparisons to BBW butterfly flower and peony . . . .i don't know about all that, makes me think twice i remember the shower gel being full floral assault!!
2/16/10 15:51 dina:
i saw the post on there and got so excited!! i was gonna email you but saw you had responded 😀 . . . . all hail queen beauty blogger 😉
p.s. just realized my comments are always a chapter long, sorry about that!
2/16/10 17:44 daisyv316:
oh I smelled this during x-mas time at macy's after viewing a qvc show selling this product, not so bad, but not something I am crazy about. I am into baby grace right now =)

The geological scientist brings a unique perspective to global change issues, as summarized by the fundamental concept: "the present is the key to the past and the past is the key to the future."
Geology is the study of the planet Earth, its history, and the processes that act upon it. Geologists seek to understand how the earth formed and evolved into what it is today. They investigate changes that the earth has undergone in its 4.5 billion-year history as its physical, chemical, and biological systems have interacted.
Students studying this "environmental legacy" at Mercyhurst University are preparing to take an active role in the utilization of the earth's resources while protecting its fragile environment. Course work incorporates rigorous field and laboratory-based research and "hands-on" learning into the undergraduate curriculum.
Students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree in geology at Mercyhurst are provided the background and critical thinking skills necessary to pursue graduate study and future careers in academia, industry or government service.
Small classrooms ensure a high level of faculty-student interaction and our faculty members are dedicated to providing the highest quality instruction possible. Student-organized, but faculty-led field trips occur throughout the school year. Recent destinations include Death Valley (CA), the Grand Canyon (AZ), and Sudbury, Ontario. Externally funded projects also provide opportunities for every student to participate in faculty-supervised research.
Because of Mercyhurst University's proximity to Lake Erie, geology majors have the unique opportunity to study Ice Age deposits and modern coastal processes on the lake shore, as well as folded sedimentary rocks of the Appalachian Mountains, and the igneous and metamorphic rocks of nearby Canada.
Through joint operations with the world acclaimed Mercyhurst Archaeological Institute, founded by pioneering archaeologist James Adovasio, Ph.D, Mercyhurst geologists are actively involved in major research projects in the United States and abroad.
Sincak Natural History Exhibit
The Geology Department manages an unparalleled exhibit of casts, fossils and other natural history specimens donated to the university by Michael and Barbara Sincak. The collection is curated by geology instructor Scott McKenzie.
Field trips are a critical component of the geology experience - and they are fun! At its heart, geology is a field science. All of our classes include a field component. We also offer field opportunities outside the classroom for both geology majors and non-majors. Some of these opportunities are student run, and initiated and organized by the Mercyhurst Geology Club.

Daybreak Doppler: Keep Getting Sucked In
This week's Daybreak Doppler Dames theme is PD 'Staff' picks.
A Maggie Grace (Wally's pick) sort of morning.
So much for all that Marshawn Lynch talk, seeing as he was traded to Seattle yesterday . More on that below.
But maybe the Packers Could Pursue Michael Lewis? Not that that helps the running game at all.
While the Packers aren't doing anything on the trade front, the Vikings seem to be with a pretty healthy rumor of them bringing Randy Moss back into the fold . Guess Favre finally gets his wish.

Fool me once, shame on you; Fool me 84 other times, I'm an idiot – Well, once again I let myself get sucked into actually thinking a rumor would come true, obviously this time around all the talk about Marshawn Lynch. It was just sounded too good to be true in terms of what the Packers needed, what the Bills wanted and…I should have known better. If there's one thing I know it's never, ever expect the unexpected out of Ted Thompson when it comes to parting with draft picks to pick up current, veteran NFL players. I'm sure there's more to this & Thompson had his reasons for not moving on Lynch, I'm just a simple-minded fan after all. If the Packers get to the Super Bowl with the current roster and win, I'll gladly eat my words & extol Ted Thompson as the greatest football mind around. Problem is, I'm not sure that date in Dallas is going to happen without some outside help, which we won't see.

Jane Cosmetics teams up with She's the First, a Millenial-driven, non-profit organization, which deems to be a perfect fit as a "Friend of Jane".
1. Values align. Jane rebranded and re-launched this summer with a promise to give back to communities and to make the world a better place.
2. Share a demographic audience. Young women who shop affordably and embrace style and substance. Jane describes its customer as "socially conscious, educated, free spirited, giving, thoughtful and fun."
3. 100% committed. Jane created a special lip gloss collection that donates 100 percent of net proceeds to She's the First.
Our first collaboration with She's the First features a signature lip gloss collection. 100% of the net proceeds from the sale of this product go back to the organization. We are also the official corporate sponsor of the group's annual Tie-Dye Cupcake Bake Off, a national campaign featuring student cupcake bake sales across the country that fundraise for girls' education sponsorships in eight developing world countries. And that's just the beginning.
We want the Jane woman to find her own style and then share it with the world to see. We know we will be watching, we hope you will be too.

Which Side of My Family Are We Related On?
How Do DNA Tests Connect Us?
This is one of those questions that come up time and again. So many times we get new matches who think you're related only on their maternal side of the family at 23andMe (and sometimes at FTDNA). Why is that and what can be done about it?
First Results!
If you have taken the 23andMe test, the first results you get back are your haplogroup types. Both men and women get maternal haplogroup info through mtDNA, and men additionally get YDNA hapologroups. This tends to confuse many people, especially women, and leads them to believe they are only going to get matches on their maternal side. 23andMe needs to do a much better job of informing their customers that their mtDNA is not the basis for their Relative Finder matches. But until they do, here's a summary of what I posted earlier on 23andMe.
Types of DNA
1. Everyone has 3 types of DNA, Autosomal, Sex determining and mitochondrial
A. Autosomal DNA controls almost everything about you EXCEPT your sex and sex linked characteristics. It encompasses chromosomes 1-22. You get one copy of each chromosome from each parent so you have two chromosome 1s, two 2s, two 3, etc. The DNA from the two matching chromosomes undergoes mixing, changes frequently, and is used to trace close to moderate distance relatives from both sides of your family.
B. Sex Determining chromosomes are X and Y. Women have two X's and no Y, men have one of each. Men get their Y from their fathers. Men get their X from their mothers. Women get one X from each parent. Since the Y only undergoes sexual mixing at the ends, it stays almost the same for a long time (hundreds of years) and can be used by men to trace their surname line. The X chromosome undergoes mixing every time it passes through a female and can be used for tracing close to moderately distant cousins on both sides of your family for women and for the mother's side of the family for men.
C. Mitochondrial DNA is outside the nucleus in the female egg. Sperm have no mitochondria. All your mitochondria are handed down from your mother's mother's line. Because mitochondria doesn't undergo mixing, it stays the same for a very long time. The mtDNA line is rarely useful for finding close matches as it can be unchanged for thousands of years but it is good for tracing the migrations of ancient prehistoric populations.
What Companies Test What DNA?
FTDNA tests your mtDNA, Y DNA (for men only) and autosomal DNA *family finder* as separate tests. Family finder is the test that allows you to match both sides of your family looking for close to moderate distance cousins.
23andMe tests them all in one test. Your relative finder matches come from your autosomal chromosomes plus the X and can be from either side of your family.
Ancestry only tests autosomal DNA and uses it to give you your 'DNA' matches. Those matches can come from either side of either of your families.

"This tends to confuse many people, especially women" This could be written differently so as not to make women angry. Maybe it's just in our genetic profiles to be upset when we're stereotyped.
This wasn't a stereotype; it was referring to the circumstances unique to the female gender. Men could be as easily confused, but they aren't looking for that information as they are genetically eligible for the Y chromosome test. "Maybe it's just in our genetic profiles to be upset when we're stereotyped" IS a stereotype, however. Being a woman myself, I find female gender roles hilariously absurd, and often find them heartily entertaining and laughable.

Things to do in Bali
Australians have been making the obligatory bogan pilgrimage to Bali for years, and why not? It's a beautiful country with friendly locals, gorgeous beaches and it is fantastic value for money. As a big ol' bogan myself I've been many times, I just can't seem to stay away from the place. Here's my guide to things to do and see, the best places to eat and spots to avoid and beware of in Bali.
Note: for internationals among you, a 'bogan' is Australian slang for an uncouth or uncultured person. Such a person is usually identified by their choice of ill-fitting clothing, love of utility vehicles, ugg boots and 'mullet' hair styles. Celebrity examples may include: Pamela Anderson and the entire cast of Geordie and Jersey Shore.
The airport has come a very long way from its very humble and terrifying beginnings. It received a much needed face lift recently, which has made the experience of arriving in Denpasar far less confronting (and a lot less like being processed through the prison system). Taxi fares from the airport are now capped based on the location of your hotel, this takes the guess work out of it and helps you avoid scams. If you're on a very tight budget, check with the rest of the cab line behind you as to where they are headed and split a cab (be safe about it though).
Also, you will need US$35 cash on you to purchase a visa on arrival (price is per person) – don't forget this, it's very important.
Like a big bogan moth to a flame, it's inevitable you'll want to see Kuta. So go and see it, take a walk down Poppies Lane, haggle with shop owners over some poorly made crap, then pack up your polyester Bintang singlets and get the heck out of there. Kuta's great for a 1 or 2 night experience, but that's it.
If you must stay in Kuta, make sure you walk down to Kuta Beach and watch the sunset from the comfort of a crumby old plastic chair with an ice-cold beer in hand, surrounded by chatty locals.
Note: plastic frame sunglasses should not cost more than AUD$5 per pair at MOST.
Far less offensive than Kuta, Seminyak is a great in-between location to stay. It's a bit of a strange mix, you tend to find the beautiful resorts lining the beach looking all pristine and innocent, but go a few streets behind your resort and you'll find the over-stocked knock-off shops and eager store owners just ready to pounce on you.
The best spot to eat in Seminyak is La Favella. It seems simple enough from the outside, but go inside and you'll find a New Orleans-esque restaurant which backs into a beautiful garden. What I love about this place is how it's impossible to tell how big it is, because it's so overgrown and encompassing. The food is seriously good and I cannot recommend it enough, an absolute 'must'.
Nusa Dua
Absolutely boring. I would only recommend going to Nusa Dua if you are not really interested in an authentic Bali experience at all and, instead, would like to secret yourself away in a resort with little to no contact with the outside world. Woah.. I think I fell asleep there for a second…
The only thing I go to Nusa Dua for is to visit my favourite restaurant, Bumbu Bali. This place is definitely in my top 5 favourite restaurants in the world. Based on the great service, relaxed and beautiful restaurant but most importantly, the incredible food – it is just that good. Sometimes I think I go back to Bali just to eat here.
A top spot to stay along a stunning coastline, Uluwatu is a great place to stay. Again, it gets you away from the grime of Kuta and immerses you in a more authentic vibe. You'll be treated to beautiful views of the coastline from your resort, if you choose right.
Scale the side of the cliff face and have lunch at one of the cafes tucked into the rocks. Follow the surfers down to the water between the large rock formations, at low tide you can safely stand in them for beautiful photos of a less seen spot. You can also perch on top of the cliffs with an icy cold drink and watch the waves roll in.
Nusa Lembongan
Without a doubt, the best thing to do is get off the mainland and onto one of the islands. Place like Nusa Lembongan are more reflective of how Bali used to be before it became overrun with tourists and business minded locals.
Nusa Lembongan is simple and beautiful, surrounded by crystal-clear, blue, unpolluted water. You can hire a scooter here and safely navigate the roads, be sure to drive over the yellow bridge for a death-defying experience.
If budget is no option, stay in the Bali Hai Tide Huts. But if you're looking for simple digs and want to get back to the basics, definitely stay at Secret Garden Bungalows. This easy-going little place is perfect to disconnect from the world and I loved how simple and uncomplicated it was.
Jimbaran Bay
Famed for its sunsets and seafood, Jimabaran Bay is a must do for visitors. Choosing a restaurant is the tough bit and everyone in Bali knows someone who runs one of them. Once you've chosen a restaurant, you can contact them and arrange for them to pick you up from your hotel, drive you to Jimbaran, then drive you back to your hotel again after dinner. Seriously, it's ridiculous.
If you like to play things a bit more loose, just jump a cab to Jimbaran Bay, stroll along the beach and watch the sunset then wander up and choose a restaurant that looks good. Whatever you do, make sure your camera battery is fully charged.
Located up in the hills, Ubud provides a more leafy, earthy alternative to the beach scene. The decision to stay in Ubud will come down to what you want out of your holiday. I love the beach and am happiest when I'm near the water, so Ubud didn't really take my fancy. But if you're into a more organic experience and want to recreate some of Eat, Pray, Love, Ubud could be for you.
Beware the ravenous monkey temple. The bananas you will inevitably buy will definitely turn any and all monkeys into heat seeking missiles, your bananas will be the target. Be warned.
Things to do
No matter where you decide to stay, provided you are on the mainland, I recommend waking up at an ungodly hour to climb Mt Batur, a volcano, and watch the sunrise. This is a once in a lifetime experience which involves some pretty hard work hiking the side of a very steep volcano in pitch black darkness. Once you reach the top and settle in with a cup of tea, you'll be glad you did it.
So there you have it, my simple guide to Bali and my top tips for places to eat at, visit and stay. Have you been to Bali? Did you enjoy it? What are your favourite spots or tips on what to avoid? Share in the comments.

Curriculum Committee
Surgery Conference Room, 4:00 p.m.
Present (underlined) were: Reid Adams, Gretchen Arnold, Eve Bargmann, Daniel Becker, Robert Bloodgood, Gene Corbett, John Gazewood, Jennifer Harvey, Donald Innes (Chair), Howard Kutchai, Marcus Martin, Chris Peterson, Jerry Short, Bill Wilson, Anthony DeBenedet, Sixtine Valdelievre, Debra Reed (secretary)

Isabel. Isabel is a web-based clinical decision support system being investigated by the Health Sciences Library for purchase. For a given set of clinical findings or symptoms, Isabel provides the clinician a checklist of likely diagnoses, related diagnoses and causative drugs. The system automatically directs users to relevant literature on a given disease or treatment. The Committee discussed this system and it's possible use in medical education. Primary users would likely be clerkship students, but integration into PoM-1 and 2 might be desirable. The Committee realizes that web-based systems such as this are going to be integrated into the physician's decision making process and students should be taught how best to use such systems and incorporate critical thinking in their use.
Short Clerkship Evaluation Form. The short Clerkship Evaluation form has been sent to the Clerkship Directors. The input of all the Committee members who provided feedback and suggestions in the development of this form was appreciated. The Clerkship Directors were asked to return this information to the Committee by February 3, 2006. Comments from students who reviewed the form were enthusiastic. A group of students has been asked to provide daily schedules from their clerkships as well. After the evaluations forms have been received and reviewed by the Committee, Clerkship Directors will be asked to attend a Curriculum Committee meeting to discuss their clerkship in February and March, 2006.
Competencies Required of the Contemporary Physician. An e-mail will be sent next week to the teaching faculty to make them aware of these competencies. The Committee was asked for alternative methods to publicize the 12 competencies to all teaching faculty. Not all competencies apply to all courses or clerkships but faculty should incorporate into their teaching and student evaluation those that relate to their teaching activities. The uniform clerkship evaluations of students already directly reflect the competencies.
The Committee discussed the competency that states "CompetenceŠin scientific principles as they apply to the analysis and further expansion of medical knowledge" and it was suggested that perhaps a clinical correlation taught anecdotally might be another way to incorporate this into the Curriculum.
In the upcoming LCME review, faculty may be asked about these competencies. Members of the Committee suggested:
A. Attend individual Department faculty meetings and briefly (10 min) discuss the competencies with faculty.
B. Ask Clerkship Directors to discuss with their teaching faculty. Ask first and second year Course Directors to do likewise.
Residents as Teachers (RATS). A group of interested faculty recently met to discuss RATS. John Gazewood noted that Peter Hamm in Family Practice has a brief curriculum already in development for enhancement of resident teaching. Dr. Gazewood will have Peter Hamm contact Don Innes to schedule a meeting with the group working on this.

I need to take iodine due to a total thyroidectomy and this product delivers what I need. The pill does dissolve quickly so it's important to swallow it fast because it tastes bad. This is also a good thing because you don't want a pill sitting undissolved in your stomach.
Does what it needs to. Good price. Dissolves quickly for faster absorption.
Dissolves quickly and leaves a bad taste in mouth if not swallowed quick enough.

Last year Harvard men's cross country coach Frank Haggerty pulled in a great recruiting class.
This year he hopes to see some of the payoff.
"In cross country, the change from high school to college is great because they run longer distances," Haggerty said. "But this year I hope to see some improvement and some great things."
Still, the men's cross country team is young. Sophomore Brian Walsh is the Crimson's top returner.
Walsh finished in the top three among. Harvard runners in all five races last season. In the H-Y-P race he finished second overall, and in the Greater Boston Invitational he took ninth.
Two other top returners are captain Steve Kelts and senior Doug Lanzo. For Harvard to compete successfully this year, these two will have to provide the leadership this young squad needs.
While the men may be looking to the future, for the women the future is now.
"I am expecting real big things from the women this year," Haggerty said.
The women, who have a talented group of returners and incoming freshman, are led by senior Alais Griffin and junior Tatum Simon.
Last year, Griffin finished first among Harvard runners and eighth overall in the Championships, and qualified for the NCAA tournament.
Simon won the tri-contest with Brown and Northeastern and placed 21 in the ECACs.
Griffin and Simon, as well as senior Megan Fritschell, look to lead the Crimson over the top after last year's impressive second place finish in the league.
The Crimson seniors know that, unlike the young and inexperienced men, if Griffin and Simon want a championship this will have to be their year to run.

Pioneer Hall is located on the Texas Woman's University Denton Campus between Bell Avenue, Administration Drive, and Chapel Drive on the East side of Bell Avenue. The physical address for TWU is:
304 Administration Drive
Denton, TX 76204
However, this does not get you directly to Pioneer Hall. Please see the campus map for more detailed directions. Pioneer Hall is labeled number 79.
2) Where do I park?
There is parking available closest to Pioneer Hall on the North and West sides of the building. All buses need to park on the far west side of the lot near the TWU Tennis Courts. Parking spaces marked with black paint or "All Decal Parking" are permissible parking spaces on the day of the Science Fair.
3) What is the schedule for the day?
The schedule for the day will be available January 2015.
4) Can I have someone else drop off my science project for me?
Yes. Students are responsible for either bringing or arranging the timely arrival, check-in, and set-up of their projects. Fair staff will not receive projects before the check-in date/time nor will projects be saved after the designated pick up time.
5) What if the student can't attend the fair, or can't drop off/pickup their exhibits during the scheduled time?
The student does not have to attend the fair, only the project does. Someone else can drop off and pick up the project at the designated times. Projects not picked up will be discarded.
6) Do students need to be present during the judging?
Please note that the TWU Science Fair Judges do not interview students during the Fair. With more than 400 projects entered in the fair, there just is not enough time in one day to speak to each student, so project judging is based on the student exhibits. The project set-up area is closed during the judging times.
7) Will lunch be provided?
Due to the large number of participants, TWU is unable to provide complimentary lunches. We recommend that you bring a sack lunch, or visit one of the nearby restaurants. Some concessions will also be sold throughout the event in Pioneer Hall by TWU Athletics.
8) What can we do at TWU while we wait for the projects to be judged?
TWU will have a few small tours both guided and self-guided available for students and their chaperones. There will also be a KEM Club Magic show just before the awards are announced. Please also visit www.discoverdenton.com for more ideas about what to do while visiting Denton. (TWU is close to the Denton Square)

Apple Support is listening carefully to what you have to say, even when you're talking to the automated service. Apparently if you drop an F-bomb they'll immediately transfer you to a real person at the end of the line.
"I was having some trouble with my (older) laptop and wanted to order a new keyboard to fix it myself," a Reddit user reports.
"After exploring every option possible in the machine based list, I eventually got frustrated and used a few choice words that triggered something in the computer I was talking to."
The user, identified as floppybutton on Reddit, says, "It cut itself off in mid-sentence, apologized, and in about 10 more seconds I was talking to an Apple tech. Unfortunately for me, he couldn't help me order my new keyboard."
The user was, nonetheless, happy with Apple's service, saying, "At least I got the answer that they aren't made anymore, instead of having to drive over an hour to the closest Apple store for the same information."
TNW says the method isn't to be abused, adding that it might not even solve your problem faster, since you won't be moved up the queue.
However, at least two Reddit users confirmed that swearing on the phone during a call with Apple's help desk triggers some sort of f-word recognition software that immediately puts you in contact with a human being ready to assist you.
A person who allegedly worked as a Quality Assurance representative for AppleCare says that pressing zero will achieve the same results, "but he/she will only be a 'call director,' who will apologise and the transfer you back to the correct queue," according to the TNW report.
The cursing method has been known to work with many phone-based customer services.

Olivia Wilde, Emma Watson or Mila Kunis are my top 3 <3
Apparently to be number 1 all you have to do is have the lead female role in a Transformers film.
Not sure who I'm going to throw in on.. But I'm digging that red head. There are approximately zero girls shown I would not completely and utterly wreck.
My god I wish Emma still had her hair : /
Cristina Hendricks..........Mother of God the things I would do to her.....the things I would let her do to me.......The things I would watch her and Olivia Wilde do to each other........
I'll take Katy Perry over all of them skinny chicks all day. :)
I had to google the 2 favorites to see who they are. That probably disqualifies me from voting but, I'll take Angelina.
Ok so I've never heard of the favorite, nor do I think she is that hot. Mila Kunis is way hotter.

There Be More With Us Than With Them
I am a fan of the movies, and recently rewatched the classic western "Shane." One of the memorable quotes from that movie says that "a gun is a tool. . .no better or no worse than any other tool; an axe, a shovel, or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it." With my background in media studies among the Mormon community in Utah, I have spent a lot of time in discussion about that same concept applied to movies, music, television, radio, and the internet.
All of these media are tools as well, and no better or worse than the person who creates the episode or website. The negative influence of the media is often lamented over the pulpit and in Sunday School classes, but the culprits are those misusing a neutral tool, not the tool itself. After all, the Church uses all these same media in an official capacity to build up the kingdom of God. Movies are shown in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (as well as most temples), television and radio broadcast General Conference, as well as the Tabernacle Choir, and the Church has begun to use the internet as a missionary tool with mormon.org.
Of course, this last area is where the More Good Foundation is concerned. The fact that individual Church units should not create or sponsor websites of their own was addressed in the previous newsletter, but it was clarified that personal websites are no different from any personal communications. The possibilities of media as a missionary tool are incredible, however, few of us have resources, time, or know-how to create movies, radio or television programs, or compose music to share the restored gospel. But the nature of the internet has the potential to give every individual an equal voice. If you have a computer, you can talk to the world. We can share the gospel with power and reverance online just as we would in conversation, but reach more people.
Unfortunately, those who wish to misrepresent and tear down our faith seem to have flocked to the internet. Search nearly any combination of Mormon-related keywords and the results are regrettable. But "[b]e strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the [negative websites], nor for all the multitute that is with [them]: for there be more with us than with [them]" (2 Chronicles 32:7). The Church's detractors are vocal more than anything else, but we can drown them out with our numbers if we refuse to abandon the internet as a cyber-den of iniquity and put it to good use, flooding the cyber-world with the Book of Mormon and its message.
I have been delighted to work with the More Good Foundation. This is certainly a good cause we should all be anxiously engaged in. In addition to a missionary tool, the promise of the internet as an online community is exciting. While the Church is ever-expanding, the internet has the potential to keep us united in constant communication, and a serve as a viable, positive resource for Church members. Those searching for slander, lies, and sensationalism will always find it, but the sincere investigator of Mormonism will recognize and prefer the honest words of a member to a mean-spirited attack. It is up to each one of us to make our words available to them and to each other.Read More
What's Your Site?
I was recently reading a report from a well-respected research organization, and it indicated that a larger number of people are creating "content" on the Internet than ever before. Even more impressive is the fact that in the rising generation, over half of teens have created some sort of Internet content.
Wow! Think about that for a moment. If those sort of statistics hold as true for the LDS population as they do for the general population, that means that hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of LDS teens have created Web pages, published or participated in blogs, or created some other type of Internet content. Add to that the adults who do so, and the numbers become staggering. (And they are increasing.)
Are you one of this burgeoning population of "Netizens," adding to the information available online? Do you have your own Web site? Do you publish your own blog? Do you contribute to a wiki or some message board community?
If so, I'd love to hear how you are using the Internet. I'm interested in seeing–in an unscientific way, of course–if the research statistics I've been reading are applicable to our More Good Foundation community. If you don't mind, just send me a message at email@example.com and let me know what you are doing and where (what site, etc.). I won't share the information with others, but if enough of you respond, I'll report back the results, in aggregate, in a future newsletter.Read More

We Use term "Mormon" in Our Writing?
Why Do We Use the term "Mormon" in Our Writing?
I recently received an e-mail that I thought was interesting. Because the concern expressed by this member may be shared by others, I thought it worth addressing. It is a valuable concern that shows insight, but I fear that the writer is missing the point. This is an excerpt from the e:mail:
I earlier mentioned my interest in writing a web page intro– I am going to back out of that now, sorry. I am uncomfortable with some of the web pages I have been browsing through. I understand your decision to intentionally use the term Mormon, but I don't agree with it. We've been asked by the general authorities to minimalize the use of the term, especially "Mormon Church," since we are the Church of Christ, not Mormon.
When asked to answer such comments, my short answer is to share the following conference address by President Hinckley, where he addressed the meaning of the term "Mormon":
My long answer uses excerpts from the same talk. Now I am quoting President Hinckley:
Many of our people are disturbed by the practice of the media, and of many others, to disregard totally the true name of the Church and to use the nickname the Mormon Church. Six months ago in our conference Elder Russell M. Nelson delivered an excellent address on the correct name of the Church. He quoted the words of the Lord Himself: "Thus shall my church be called in the last days, even The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." (D&C 115:4.)
There is no doubt about what the real name of the Church is; it is "The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints." However, President Hinckley continues by saying:
The Mormon Church, of course, is a nickname. And nicknames have a way of becoming fixed–I suppose that regardless of our efforts, we may never convert the world to general use of the full and correct name of the Church. Because of the shortness of the word Mormon and the ease with which it is spoken and written, they will continue to call us the Mormons, the Mormon Church, and so forth–They could do worse."
So what should we do? Should we spend all of our time and effort insisting that people call us with the proper name, or should we spend our time making sure that, irrespective of the name people use to refer to the Church, we follow the example of Jesus Christ (and Mormon, perhaps, since he was a great prophet) to such an extent that people will "see our works and glorify God?" Teaching people through the Internet about our true beliefs is also a way of following the Savior. Don't we all have the responsibility of sharing the Gospel?
The answer should be obvious, but let's go back to what President Hinckley has to say:
More than fifty years ago, when I was a missionary in England, I said to one of my associates, "How can we get people, including our own members, to speak of the Church by its proper name?" He replied, "You can't. The word Mormon is too deeply ingrained and too easy to say." He went on, "I've quit trying. While I'm thankful for the privilege of being a follower of Jesus Christ and a member of the Church which bears His name, I am not ashamed of the nickname Mormon." "Look," he went on to say, "if there is any name that is totally honorable in its derivation, it is the name Mormon. And so, when someone asks me about it and what it means, I quietly say 'Mormon means more good.'"
What does President Hinckley conclude based on this experience?
We may not be able to change the nickname, but we can make it shine with added luster (emphasis added). After all, it is the name of a man who was a great prophet who struggled to save his nation, and also the name of a book which is a mighty testament of eternal truth, a veritable witness of the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Our real goal needs to be to "add luster" to the name Mormon, since people will continue to call us with that name. This is the reason that we freely use the terms "Mormon" or "Mormon Church." We should serve people in the language to which they are accustomed. If they search for us using the term "Mormon," we should provide them answers using the term "Mormon"; this is the language with which they are comfortable.
The Savior taught: "let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:16). He didn't say: "insist that they call you with the proper name until they do it."
One of our main responsibilities as members of the Church is to share the Gospel with the entire world. The staff at the More Good Foundation is committed to sharing our message with the world, in a way that the world needs to hear it.Read More
What About the Church?
I have a friend who loves to go to the temple. He loves the feeling he gets within its hallowed walls, and he loves doing work there for his ancestors. When he told me about his feelings about the temple, I was impressed and suggested that he might want to create a Web site about his temple so that others could learn of his love for temples and temple work.
He was excited about doing this, and went off to work on it. I didn't hear from him for a couple of weeks, so one day I called him up and asked how it was going. He told me that shortly after our previous conversation, he had gone to the temple and mentioned to the Temple President that he was going to create a Web site about the temple.
The Temple President cautioned my friend that he may want to check with the temple department of the Church first. "After all," said the President, "the Church doesn't want Web sites about temples created."
When I heard this from my friend, I realized that there was a lot of education to do. It is true that in March 2001 the Church sent a letter to ecclessiastical leaders instructing that all Church Web sites be taken down. This is the specific wording that was used in the letter:
…the First Presidency has requested that local Church units and organizations should not create or sponsor web sites. They have also determined that existing sites should be discontinued.
The policy was later clarified in a letter sent in December 2004, where it was stated that Church unites were not authorized to create sites apart from the official sites created by the Church. Further, it was stated that:
This restriction includes but is not limited to temples, missions, visitors' centers, auxiliaries, quorums, classes, Scout units, and committees for special events.
This is obviously where my friend's Temple President got the idea that my friend should not create a Web site about the temple. The Church policy states that the Temple President is not authorized on his own to create an official site about the temple, but there is no restriction on individuals and non-Church groups from creating or sponsoring their own Web sites about temples.
For instance, the Elder's Quorum President in the Danbury Park East Ward cannot create a Web site for the quorum and post personal information, quorum events, and provide ability to sign up for welfare assignments. These activities carry potential problems with privacy rights and security issues. However, that restriction does not extend to individuals who could create Web sites that talk about priesthood quorums and the amazing work they can do. The difference is that you are creating a personal site *about* the Church, rather than an offical site *from* the Church.
It is in the Church's interest for people like my friend to create Web sites that help to spread the word about how the gospel (or some aspect of the gospel, such as temple work or priesthood quorums) has positively affected lives and brought people to Christ.
Do you have a story to tell about the Church? The Church is supportive of stories being told in a faithful, respectful, and positive manner; this helps the Church.
So, spread the word–individuals and non-Church groups can be anxiously engaged in creating the type of Web sites that will help the Church.

Increase Others' Understanding of Us
Writing Articles to Increase Others' Understanding of Us
I have been with the More Good Foundation for a few weeks, and I am thrilled to participate in this work. I am becoming ever more convinced that the Foundation's ideas about getting positive LDS information out on the Web, as well as its approaches to most effectively have that information found, will truly bear much fruit so far as increasing the world's understanding and even acceptance of the Lord's true Church.
My first contact with the Foundation occurred when I responded to an e-mail from BYU that invited students/alumni to apply for an internship. I did so and was soon asked to come in for an interview, whereupon I met Allen Wyatt and Giuseppe Martinengo for the first time. I had prepared for the interview by visiting the Foundation's Web site, and Allen and Giuseppe were able to build on my newfound knowledge by telling me a little about, for instance, the fact that in their work they strive to make information more accessible to non-members by using terms like "Mormon" instead of "Latter-day Saint." It's true–the average Joe will have no idea that we tend to call ourselves "LDS." He will go on Google and search under "Mormon," and, currently, that won't return the best sites about us. Joe will read a little of what is returned in such a search, feel that his curiosity has been satisfied, and chalk up the Mormon Church as one more religion he definitely doesn't want to get involved in.
The More Good Foundation hopes to level the playing field by meeting people on their own terms. If they want to call us "Mormons," then that's what we are. If Google produces more search results under "Mormons" than "LDS," so be it. We are no less members of the true Church, and we can use the Foundation's Internet research to our advantage, writing "Mormon" articles that are (*gasp!*) positive and truthful.
I have been busy with, among other things, writing articles about Mormon beliefs and practices that I feel will greatly benefit anyone who comes across them. It's surprising how easy it is to sit down and write a paper on a basic topic like honesty, charity, or baptism. To show volunteers some examples of the kind of material the More Good Foundation is looking for, I want to invite anyone who has interest to take a look at the site www.olympicmormons.org. Nearly every article posted there has been written from scratch. Pay special attention to the Basic Mormon Beliefs articles, and keep in mind that I wrote most of them simply from personal knowledge and experience, not even referring to another person's article to give me ideas on the layout or key points to include. Three of the articles I managed to write in one four-hour sitting, and I don't even have a degree in English!
I say all this just to drive home the point that practically any member of the Church could volunteer a bit of time and lay down some basic knowledge and beliefs that could be shared with the hungry world via the Internet. Please write something, adding to our goal to see "more good" on the Web.
To reiterate a call by Giuseppe in a previous newsletter, try to do a paper that totals around 800-1000 words (that's only a page and a half). Possible topics include, but are not limited to: faith, repentance, atonement, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, priesthood, scriptures, prayer, temple work, forgiveness, Word of Wisdom, sacrifice, the Sabbath day, fasting, service, law of chastity, eternal marriage, and tithing. Have fun!
Comment by Giuseppe: As Chad explained so well, it's very easy to be part of this great work. Another thing you may consider is to send us short stories or personal experiences that illustrate some gospel principle. I would be particularly interested in missionary experiences (when you were a missionary or when you met the missionaries) but you may want to write about other experiences… So, go ahead; don't be afraid; discover the excitement of writing and be published right away…
