NUI Galway Sees Dramatic Rise in Demand for Places for Second Consecutive Year
Tuesday, 9 March 2010
CAO Preferences for NUI Galway up 7.1% Figures released by the Central Applications Office (CAO) today show another dramatic rise in demand for places at NUI Galway. First preference applications for undergraduate degrees at NUI Galway are up over 7% on last year, reflecting a substantial rise of more than 15% since 2008. With demand for places so high, NUI Galway will hold a Spring Open Day on Saturday, 24 April, for prospective students and their parents. Almost 3,000 people attended the event last year, which is designed to give a real insight in to university life and career options. Caroline Loughnane, Director of Marketing and Communications at NUI Galway, commented on the rising demand to study at the University: "We are seeing a phenomenal demand for places at NUI Galway. This is driven in part by the 20 new undergraduate courses which we have brought on stream over the last three years. There are also a range of new sports, arts and academic facilities on our state-of-the art campus. Another critical factor in attracting applicants is the University's commitment to providing our students with a learning experience that has relevance for the real world". Newer courses at NUI Galway include the extremely popular Energy Engineering, which was developed in direct response to calls from the energy sector for more energy engineers with the right combination of skills. Also popular is the new Engineering Innovation degree, combining traditional electronic engineering with business and entrepreneurship. The University also offers a Sports and Exercise Engineering degree, which is the first of its kind available in Ireland. NUI Galway has now brought eight BA Connect degrees on-stream, in a radical departure from traditional Arts degrees. These four-year degrees are designed to increase the employability of graduates by developing distinctive skills and creating connections with life beyond the campus. This year, a new BA Connect degree with Latin American Studies is also listed on the CAO form, alongside the existing BA Connect programmes with either Children s Studies, Creative Writing, Film Studies, Human Rights, Irish Studies, Women s Studies or Theatre and Performance. At present, NUI Galway is the only Irish university offering a denominated degree in marine science and it now has the highest concentration of marine scientists of any institution in Ireland. This degree also offers training on board national training vessels in the third year of study. NUI Galway is also offering the first Podiatry degree in Ireland, which will train healthcare professionals who specialises in the medicine of the foot and leg.

NUI Galway End 30 Year Wait for Fitzgibbon Cup
Monday, 8 March 2010
NUI Galway 1-17 Waterford IT 1–16 (After extra- time) NUI Galway hurlers ended a 30 year wait this weekend for the return of the Fitzgibbon Cup after a sensational win against WIT in extra-time in Pearse Stadium. Hosting the event, NUI Galway battled hard to beat the Waterford side by a single point in their second extra-time in two days. The winning point by Clare hurler John Conlon in the 82nd minute secured the long awaited win for the local side. Friday's semi-final clash against Limerick IT, which was held in Dangan, saw the Galway students dig deep to overturn the favourites in a dramatic finish which also went to extra-time with a scoreline of 1-24 to 1-23. John Lee, Galway hurler and final medicine student at NUI Galway was particularly thrilled with the win having fought for six years to get his hands on the Fitzgibbon Cup. "I've been here for six years trying to win it, lost three semi-finals before this and one final. We were nine points down at one stage today and it looked impossible to get back. I was struggling myself to get into it but some of the lads showed unbelievable character. That's the thing about this team and they've shown it all year. "I'm delighted for selector and former head of Sport, Tony Regan as well, that was a big incentive for us today to win it, and he's given so much to hurling at NUI Galway. Whenever you go into the NUI Galway Sports Centre he'd make you read the plaque listing past NUI Galway winning teams with the likes of Joe Connolly and Conor Hayes. It's great Tony now finally has a reason to put us on it. After more than 30 years involved, this is his retirement present". -Ends-

NUI Galway Announces New €10 million 'Lifecycle Institute'
Thursday, 4 March 2010
The Lifecycle Institute, a major new €10 million initiative in the social sciences at NUI Galway, was announced by the University today (4 March, 2010). Funded through philanthropic donations and in collaboration with The Atlantic Philanthropies, the Lifecycle Institute will advance an integrated approach to policy and services research for older people, children and families, and people with disabilities. Comprising a multidisciplinary facility in a state of the art new building, the Lifecycle Institute will integrate and enhance the work of three existing centres at NUI Galway – the Child and Family Research Centre, the Disability Law and Policy Centre, and the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology. Each of the three centres already makes an important contribution to its respective field in Ireland and internationally. The Lifecycle Institute will add value to this existing work through collaboration across research, teaching and training programmes – while retaining each centre's distinct identity. Conceptually, the Lifecycle Institute marks an innovative approach in the social sciences by establishing the lifecycle as the key framework of reference for understanding existing vulnerabilities and inequalities in society. The aim of the Lifecycle Institute will be to impact positively on future policies for children, families, people with disabilities and older people. Welcoming the announcement, NUI Galway President, Dr James J. Browne, said: "The development of the Lifecycle Institute at NUI Galway reflects a shared commitment by researchers to work towards effective change in the lives of vulnerable populations. This will, we hope, lead to improved outcomes for children, families, older people and people with disabilities by influencing policy and decision making, whether emanating from the Irish Government, the EU or the UN". Operationally, the co-location of the three constituent centres will reflect a unique way of working that facilitates collaboration across disciplines and the sharing of resources, skills and perspectives. The Lifecycle Institute will also feature community engagement facilities which will forge links with stakeholders including statutory, voluntary and community organisations and their service users. Consultation with service users, whether they be children and young people, older people or people with disabilities, will be a strategic goal to advance research. Dr James J. Browne, added: "This is a major advancement in the field of social sciences in Ireland. The Lifecycle Institute has a vision which is to contribute theoretical, scientific and practical awareness of human capacity and potential. With this new institute, we are taking a holistic approach to research, education and policy development covering the life-span of every individual. Long-term, I see the Lifecycle Institute developing the next generation of policy entrepreneurs and advocates in the fields of ageing, children and families, and disabilities". -ends-

IMDA/NUI Galway Collaboration Explores Ways to Enhance Operational Efficiency
Tuesday, 2 March 2010
The Irish Medical Devices Association (IMDA), a business sector within IBEC, and NUI Galway's Applied Optics group, today hosted a seminar that focused the practical ways that optics can deliver scientific and technology solutions that enhance medical technology industry operations in Ireland. Speaking at the seminar, Sharon Higgins, director of IMDA said: "The medical technology sector in Ireland continues to grow. Exports of medical device and diagnostic products during the first three quarters of 2009 increased by more than 14% over the same period in 2008. This confirms Ireland as the second largest exporter of medical products in Europe, second only to Germany. The sector employs over 24,000 people, the highest per capita in Europe. Companies have adapted very successfully to changing economic circumstances, enhancing all aspects of their business models from R&D to manufacturing and commercialisation. "Our ability to engage with the academic and clinical community is critical to future growth. This collaboration with NUI Galway's Applied Optics group in developing today s programme will undoubtedly provide industry with opportunities to develop new ideas and contacts for the future." Keynote speaker at the event, Dr Alexander Knitsch, senior manager of international sales at TRUMPF Laser -und Systemtechnik GmbH Germany, applauded the IMDA and NUI Galway for their partnership. He said: "Optics is one of the key enabling technologies used to enhance medical device manufacturing and quality assurance processes. Ireland has a strong industry cluster and an internationally renowned optics group in NUI Galway. Together, I have no doubt that they will lead in adapting and developing these technologies to significantly enhance efficiencies." Dr James J. Browne, President of NUI Galway, welcomed the opportunity to engage with industry, saying: "Our Applied Optics group focuses on addressing the needs of industry and transferring research outcomes from the lab bench to the market." -Ends-

Mark Little to Chair Industry Leaders Panel Discussion at NUI Galway
Monday, 1 March 2010
Building and Maintaining International Industry Clusters: Galway's Medical Devices Cluster An expert panel of industry leaders, chaired by journalist and broadcaster Mark Little, will discuss the significance of building strong international industry clusters as a critical element in growing economic activity within regional and national economies, at NUI Galway. This open forum discussion, hosted by the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics on Thursday, 4 March, will focus on 'Building and Maintaining International Industry Clusters: Galway's Medical Devices Cluster'. The development of the medical device sector in Ireland and particularly the Galway cluster typifies the nature of economic growth that the country has experienced over the past two decades. With fifteen of the world's top twenty medical technology companies having significant international operations in Ireland combined with a smaller base of indigenous companies, they employ an estimated 24,000 people in approximately 140 companies. Research shows there is a significant regional dimension to the Irish medical devices sector with almost 40% of total employment in the sector in the West of Ireland. Panellists taking part in the discussion will include: Paraic Curtis, Managing Director and VP Operations, Boston Scientific (Galway); Mike Devane, Chairman, American Chamber of Commerce R&D Working Group and Partner, Quilly; Jim O'Hara, General Manager, Intel Ireland and VP Technology Manufacturing Group (TMG), Intel Corporation; and Helen Ryan, CEO Creganna Tactx Medical (Galway). Speaking in advance of the event, Dr Emer Mulligan, Head of the J.E. Cairnes School of Business & Economics, NUI Galway, said: 'Being export driven with world class product development and manufacturing, combined with strong and vibrant university industry linkages, Galway's medical devices cluster has developed as an exemplar of modern high-tech regional clusters". Research conducted by the Centre for Innovation and Structural Change at NUI Galway provides evidence that the Galway medical devices cluster is characterised primarily by trading linkages on a global scale. The local cluster is vibrant and dynamic with a clustering effect occurring through university-industry linkages, the development of a pool of skilled labour, knowledge transfers in the form of start-up firms, the growth of supplier firms and most significantly, the development of a regional and international reputation through the presence of Boston Scientific and Medtronic President of NUI Galway, Dr James J. Browne, said: "This Expert Panel Discussion hosted by the School of Business and Economics is of real interest to national and international economic policy makers. The West of Ireland's biomedical device industry is a great example of successful industry clustering and the sector is now a vital element of our national economy. The collaborative efforts of Industry and University are key to generating the dynamic culture of innovation and commercialisation which distinguishes successful industry clusters. We, in the West of Ireland, are taking full advantage of the strengths in our region to build partnerships which will bring international competitive advantage".

NUI Galway-UL Strategic Alliance to Drive Vital Research and Academic Excellence
Thursday, 18 February 2010
- Direct support for key industry sectors and research strengths - Leading US University to play significant role in technology transfer - Launch of unique student exchange between institutions NUI Galway and the University of Limerick today (18 February, 2010) announced a Strategic Alliance which will support the development of the wider region to encourage indigenous enterprises and foreign direct investment, strengthen research and industry partnerships, and further a shared commitment to academic excellence. The Alliance will have an international dimension, through a partnership with Georgia Institute of Technology in the US, in the exploitation of research from both Irish universities. At a ceremony in Dublin involving An Taoiseach, the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, and the Minister for Education and Science, the Alliance was announced to leaders from a wide range of community, public and political bodies as well as partners from academia and industry. Welcoming the announcement, An Taoiseach Brian Cowen, T.D., said: "NUI Galway and the University of Limerick are demonstrating how working together means working smarter. This Alliance is an exciting new departure for two very progressive Universities. It represents a key building block for our Smart Economy project. And it promises to make a major contribution to economic and social development in this country, at both regional and national levels. The Government strongly supports increased collaboration between higher education institutions and between these institutions and industry. Our universities have a critical role to play as a dynamo energising our Smart Economy with new ideas and creativity. Increased collaboration among our universities - joining forces - greatly helps us to up our game in the intense ongoing global competition to come up with new ideas, new products and new services. The Government is very happy to see that Ireland s universities are coming up to the mark, moving from competition at home to collaboration in competing on the world stage". Key and immediate initiatives resulting from the Alliance include: Supporting key industry sectors Furthering research and education to serve Ireland's biomedical device industry – which employs 24,000 people. Joining forces on research initiatives to provide scientific and technological breakthroughs in the 'green tech' sector. Supporting Ireland as the biggest exporter of software solutions in Europe, by collaborating to remain at the forefront of software development and internet technology research. Technology Transfer Achieve economies of scale through jointly supporting technology transfer and commercialisation of research. Working to establish a translational research centre with Georgia Institute of Technology for technology transfer. Academic Excellence Furthering commitment to 4th Level Education through joint development of structured PhD programmes. Facilitating student exchange between the Universities on a modular or semester basis. Creating a new Medical Academy at Portiuncula and Roscommon Hospitals. Planning to facilitate joint academic appointments to maximise student choice. Civic Engagement Promoting active citizenship through projects such as urban renewal and regeneration. Shared Services Optimising resources through shared services and focused use of research, teaching and academic support services. Professor Don Barry, President of the University of Limerick, said: "By forming this Strategic Alliance, we are collaborating in very real and immediate ways, driving scientific and economic progress with a specific focus on industry partnerships and research in the areas of Biomedicine, Energy, ICT and Civic Engagement. "UL and NUI Galway are hubs of educational excellence and research activity. By coming together with a shared vision for the future we will optimise our delivery of world-class research, innovative teaching and service to the community, while being responsive to the needs of our industry partners and to the social, cultural and economic needs of Ireland". Commenting on the new partnership, President of NUI Galway, Dr James J. Browne, said: "The aim of this Alliance is to better support the social and economic development of our wider region by combining the strengths of the two universities to enhance the service we provide to our students, to industry and business partners, and to enhance the international standing of both Universities. Together we can and will achieve more". President Browne added: "The fragmentation of Irish higher education prevents the achievement of critical mass, particularly in research, and slows down the drive towards internationalisation. The future of higher education in Ireland will be best served by a network of collaborating institutions, each of which develops international excellence in appropriate priority areas. The NUI Galway and UL Strategic Alliance is an important step in that direction". The institution-wide Alliance will work across all areas of activity at UL and NUI Galway including teaching, technology transfer, lifelong learning and the provision of services. The Alliance allows for the facilitation of student exchange between the universities. The new Alliance will see NUI Galway and UL collaborate extensively in the area of teaching and learning. Exciting new initiatives include a unique 'Link to Learn' student exchange programme, which will enable students at either university to choose modules from the other institution as part of their programme. Other developments include the creation of a new joint Medical Academy at Portiuncula and Roscommon Hospitals, in addition to the development of a programme of activities to respond to the national objectives of building strong foundations in mathematics and science in primary and second level education. Speaking at the launch, Minister for Education and Science, Mr Batt O'Keefe, T.D., said: "The Framework for the development of a 'Smart Economy' highlighted the key role played by the higher education system in the development of an innovation culture and it set out a challenge to the sector to create new possibilities, through new alliances and new organisational arrangements, to advance our knowledge capacity and generate opportunities for new levels of efficiency, performance, innovation and growth. The Alliance is significant in that it spans all the key areas of activity in the universities including teaching, research, technology transfer, lifelong learning and the provision of services. We know that the quality of our higher education system is critical to Ireland's economic recovery. It is essential that we position the system to fully exploit its potential in producing the smart people and the smart ideas that are required for our smart economy ambitions. I applaud today's announcement by UL and NUI Galway as an important practical contribution to meeting that challenge and as recognition by the two universities of the nature of the response that Ireland needs from its higher education system". A focus of this Strategic Alliance will be industry collaborations in R&D, increased commercialisation and spinouts. UL and NUI Galway continue to exceed international benchmarks for delivery of commercial licences and spinouts per euro invested. In total, NUI Galway and UL have set up 21 spin-out companies over the past four years, with 72 licences and 121 patents filed. By 2015, the Alliance aims to deliver 40 spin-outs, with particular focus on commercialisation in the fields of ICT, Healthcare and Medical Technologies and Energy. Targets also include 450 invention disclosures, 110 licences and to have filed 200 patents. The ICT and Biomedical industries are currently worth €34.2bn annually to the Irish economy, while dependence on imported energy significantly impacts industry and the economy. A cooperative effort focused on these strategically vital areas aims to accelerate the delivery of viable solutions and sustainable industries. Speaking at the announcement, An Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan, T.D., said: "This proactive and visionary arrangement illustrates the collective determination of both universities to further enhance the economic and social development of the region. I warmly welcome the Alliance as it will serve to encourage growth in indigenous enterprises and foreign direct investment, strengthen research and industry partnerships and further their commitment to academic excellence". "The objective of the Government's STI strategy is to harness the benefits of research collaboration for the benefit of the Irish economy. This is creating a strong cadre of indigenous firms and attracting and further embedding leading multi-national companies here. For example, last year 49% of the IDA's Foreign Direct Investment wins were Research, Development and Innovation related which were valued at €500m. Almost 45% of all enterprises are now engaged in innovation activities in Ireland", the Tánaiste added. The NUI Galway and UL Strategic Alliance is already forging relationships with international partners. Georgia Institute of Technology and the Alliance will work to establish a translational research institute to focus on technology commercialisation with industry partners. Together the three institutions will form a joint Translational Research Institute focused on the application of core technologies and expertise within the partner institutions. -Ends-

The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!
View Single Post
May 3 2013, 09:39 PM
Fleet Admiral
Location: The Warped Sector of the Demented Quadrant
Re: The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!
Con exclusive or not, I'm sure some online retailer will get some of these and sell them for a little more than the convention will. The 2012 Comic-Con Carbon Freezing Chamber set with the seven Vintage/"Lost Line" figures including Carbonite Jar Jar was sold online around the same time the con was being held so there'll probably be other outlets to buy this Boba and Han.
They'll probably go for more than $50, though.
Human instinct is pretty strong. You can't expect us to change overnight.

"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is one of Shakespeare's most popular and accessible plays. The current production at the Repertory Theatre brings to life many of the features that explain its continuing appeal over the last 400 years.
Get out your tweeds, your twinset, order a hot cup of Earl Grey and prepare to be happily entertained by Agatha Christie's "The Mousetrap", a play that has been performed continuously for an incredible sixty – one years and has been crowned the "longest running play of all time."
So you're directing a script by a young playwright who obviously has a feel for what works on stage, for how to build a scene, how to set things up for physical comedy.

In Racine, Miss Latina means scholarship
More than 10 years ago, a few women in Racine decided they wanted to help young Latinas get a good education, so they started the Miss Latina Racine Scholarship program.
"It's not a beauty contest at all," said Diana Felix, the secretary of the Miss Latina Racine Scholarship Corporation and one of the original founders.
"The idea of the contest is to chose a role model for other younger Latinas in the community," she said. Yes, a crown and a cape come with the title, but judging is based on an essay, grades, poise, cultural awareness and community involvement, she said.
At first, it was a challenge to raise money for the scholarship, but friends, family members, community leaders and businesses helped out, she said.
This year Miss Latina Racine will get a $2,000 scholarship. The first runner-up will get up to $1,000 scholarship and four remaining participants will be eligible for up to $500 scholarship awards.
The current Miss Latina Racine is Jessica Clarke, who is a junior at Concordia University, studying pharmacy.
To be eligible, a participant must be a young woman between the ages of 17-24, of Latino heritage who have lived in Racine County for a minimum of a year.The applicant must also be a current student with a minimum of 2.5 grade point average.
To apply, contact Felix at (262)898-9721.

What Milwaukee is talking about
Brewing up an argument for beer
First PETA's sexiest vegetarian hails from a state known for sausages and now a study that says beer might help fight osteoporosis. Isn't that what milk is for? Has the world turned upside down?
According to Miller-McCune magazine, beer might help build strong bones depending on the amounts of malted barley and hops.
We were skeptical and not just because the magazine's name is Miller. But then we read it more carefully we found the "m" words. The ones that most people skip over in any text. "Moderate beer consumption might" help fight osteoporosis.

River on Song: Ten of Her Finest Moments!Fri, 09/04/2015 - 10:54am
This Christmas Alex Kingston returns as the kick-ass archaeologist with big hair, big attitude and a big new adventure! To celebrate the news we're looking at ten of her finest moments to date!Silencing the Doctor in the Library
Let's start at the beginning. Sort of. River bamboozles the Doctor and to use the Time Lord's own words, 'There's not a lot of people who can do that…' Immediately sassy, enigmatic and fun, this was one Song that didn't need time to grow on us!Well, let's see…
'You've got a time machine, I've got a gun… What the hell! Let's kill Hitler!' We loved the 'Mel' version of River… As Amy's best friend she was a dangerous, reckless, gun-toting and feisty female… Actually, no change there, then!How Exciting!
She finally got serious and tied the knot with the Time Lord (didn't she?) in The Wedding of River Song. It was the day the Doctor should have died but he ended up 'marrying' River, instead. And if that wasn't enough of a result, this happened…The Melody Lingers On…
It's easy to forget that the mystery surrounding River Song was part of what made her such a compelling character and a zillion theories about her background were flying around before A Good Man Goes to War. She was the Master! She was Romana! She was… Well, we know now and the eagerly anticipated reveal of who River really was didn't disappoint!The Doctor's Wife
On the downside, her attempt to kill the Doctor wasn't the best way to cement relations with the man she loved, but on the upside it triggered a season which kept us guessing how the Doctor would escape what looked like certain death.Cheers!
We've always admired River for her whip-smart one-liners, like the time when Jenny asked how she managed to magic up a bottle of Champagne and an elegant flute. Without missing a beat, River replied with a smile, 'Disgracefully…'Until the Next Time…
Okay, this may be a cheat but we have a feeling the 2015 Christmas Special will be another highlight in her life and crazy career. River Song and the Twelfth Doctor. Really. What's not to love? We can't wait for a River to run through Christmas…

The Doctor and River Song Reunite For A Spectacular ChristmasWed, 09/02/2015 - 3:16am
Alex Kingston returns to Cardiff to reclaim her role as Professor River Song for the highly anticipated 2015 Doctor Who Christmas special, part of BBC One's essential seasonal viewing.
It's Christmas Day in the future and the TARDIS is parked on a snowy village street, covered in icicles, awaiting its next adventure. Time traveller River Song meets her husband's new incarnation, in the form of Peter Capaldi, for the first time this Christmas.
Day one of filming the eleventh Doctor Who Christmas special starts this week and is written by Lead Writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, produced by Nikki Wilson and directed by Douglas Mackinnon (Doctor Who, Sherlock).
River Song made her first Doctor Who appearance in 2008 in 'Silence in the Library' and 'Forest of the Dead' and has appeared in 15 episodes to date.
Award winning Alex Kingston comments on her reappearance, "To be honest, I did not know whether River would ever return to the show, but here she is, back with the Doctor for the Christmas special. Steven Moffat is on glittering form, giving us an episode filled with humour and surprise guest castings. I met Peter for the first time at Monday's read through, we had a laugh, and I am now excited and ready to start filming with him and the Doctor Who team. Christmas in September? Why not!"
Steven Moffat, Lead Writer and Executive Producer, adds, "Another Christmas, another special for Doctor Who - and what could be more special than the return of Alex Kingston as Professor River Song? The last time the Doctor saw her she was a ghost. The first time he met her, she died. So how can he be seeing her again? As ever, with the most complicated relationship in the universe, it's a matter of time..."
The witty line-up of guest cast joining Alex for a magical adventure on the TARDIS will be announced over the coming months.
The BBC Cymru Wales produced drama will return to BBC One on Saturday, 19 September with a 12 episode series, followed by the Christmas special on Friday 25 December.

The Doctor and Clara: 7 Sensational Hero MomentsWed, 08/26/2015 - 6:10am
We're loving the fact that in the latest trailer, the Doctor and Clara seem to be closer than ever. But let's not forget they formed a great team in the last series... And so, to keep us going until they return on 19 September, here are some of our favourite hero moments with the Doctor and Clara…The Restaurant at the End of the Episode…
The Doctor was all over the place after recently regenerating and Clara was up to her eyebrows in trouble, alone and terrified. But there was one person she knew she could rely on… This action-packed scene emphasized that the Time Lord may have looked like a completely different man… but his heroism remained unchanged.Caring and Sharing
Sometimes the Doctor and Clara save planets, defeat dictators or battle for justice across the galaxy. But on another evening, they did something just as important for Rupert Pink… They helped out a little boy who was scared of the monsters… When the boy who became Danny needed a friend, these two best friends were there for him.Mummy on the Orient Express
Let's be honest, Clara thought the Orient Express would be the end of the line for her and the Doctor, but she saw how determined he'd been to save the passengers and how he'd put his life on the line (thank you) for their safety… It convinced her to stay with the Time Lord, although her boyfriend wasn't exactly tinkled pink by the idea…Flatline
With the Doctor trapped in the TARDIS Clara had to think outside the box to defeat the sinister, 2-dimensional invaders. They still managed to make a great team and it was only thanks to Clara that the Doctor was able to banish the Boneless.Dark Water
Yes, we love the scene immediately following Clara's 'dream sequence' where the Doctor reveals how much he cares for his companion. But right after that there's another great moment where the two friends prepare to find Danny. Both of them aware of the dangers but willing to go to hell together, rather than let the other one down. 'Chin up, shoulders back!' the Doctor says to Clara, before adding, 'Let's see what we're made of, you and I.' We think we already know the answer to that one: something pretty special.
Return to the Doctor and Clara's previous adventures or look forward to the new series now!

11 Reasons Why Remembrance of the Daleks Rocks!Thu, 08/20/2015 - 4:40am
Today (20 August) is the birthday of Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred, aka the Seventh Doctor and his companion, Ace, so what better time to remember Remembrance of the Daleks? If you're fascinated by the Doctor's oldest foes or you just love a cracking adventure, it's definitely one you should check out. So, what it makes it, so, err… ace?You'll believe a Dalek can fly!
Before Remembrance we had to put up with endless jokes about how the Daleks couldn't get up stairs… Then came this…
…and suddenly fans could shake their heads and point out that Daleks could el-e-vate!Kick Ass Companion
Wait a minute! That reminds us of someone…You were born to serve the Daleks!
They squabble and bicker but the bond between them is unbreakable. Just like Clara these days, Ace doesn't always understand the Doctor, but she knows he's always got her back.Pacey Plot
The Doctor became darker and more cunning in this adventure. He still liked a laugh but you remember the Doctor playing his cards close to his chest in Mummy on the Orient Express? He was more like that. Except he wasn't making 'Are you my mummy?' jokes which in retrospect, was a missed opportunity.Dalek Action!
If you're going to wheel in the Daleks, it's great to give them plenty to do! Remembrance had them running amok, well, gliding amok as they engaged in civil war, battled humanity, tried to get their grubby protuberances on some Time Lord tech, and repeatedly tried to take out the Doctor. No. Not like that.A galaxy of stars!
An awesome guest cast included Pamela Salem (middle, photo below) as Professor Rachel Jensen…
And Karen Gledhill (right in this pic) as her assistant, Allison Williams.
Together with Group Captain 'Chunky' Gilmore, played by Simon Williams…
They formed an intrepid trio helping the Doctor as he fought not just the Daleks, but the evil Ratcliffe (below, right), played by the marvellous George Sewell.Sign of the times
Remembrance's writer, Ben Aaronovitch, returns the Doctor's oldest foes to their right-wing roots and even has them forge an alliance with Ratcliffe's fascist organisation. Remembrance of the Daleks is at its heart a roller coaster of adventure loaded with wit and some genuinely wow action sequences, but now and again it pauses to reflect some of the viler elements of 1960s Britain. In one scene, Ace finds a sign in a B&B window which advises potential clients, 'No coloureds'. Her repulsion is deftly conveyed by actor Sophie Aldred who captures her character's horror and sadness at the message.Davros!
The old boy shows up in episode 4, giving the Doctor a great excuse to mock his creations and their quest for, 'Unimaginable power! Unlimited rice pudding, et cetera, et cetera!'The Special Weapons Dalek
There's something appealing about using the word 'special' to describe one of these killing machines. Just don't tell the other Daleks we think it's special. They'll get en-vi-ous!
Remembrance of the Daleks opened Doctor Who's 25th season. You can enjoy more videos from the adventure, take a look through galleries and find out the facts behind the story… It's all on our Remembrance of the Daleks pages!

12 Things We Learnt from the New TrailerThu, 08/13/2015 - 10:25am
Here are 12 things we gleaned from the new trailer along with a few questions we want answering…The Doctor and Clara are closer than ever.
After her early reticence last series, Clara is now definitely embracing the Doctor… That hug in the TARDIS says it all.Monsters!
Doctor Who means monsters, right? But in this interview exec producer Brian Minchin promised more new monsters than returning foes, and judging by the trailer, he was spot on! Look at these beauties…Daleks!
Okay, is that REALLY a Special Weapons Dalek we can see - left of screen - at 45 seconds in? But hold the phone – check out the shot below… That's one of the so-called 60s Daleks isn't it? Nearest the door at the back. And there's another old school Dalek on the upper level… What's going on? Vision impaired! We cannot see what is happening!The TARDIS looks better than ever…
We glimpsed it in the first trailer but now get more of the TARDIS interior. We love those new round things. But… What are the round things? No idea.Osgood Grief!
Is that Osgood? Looks to us like she's in a war torn area, a little like the one we saw Danny Pink fighting in during last year's finale. Be careful, Osgood! We don't want to lose you… again!Missy
Great to see she's as bananas as ever. Laughing at the Dalek. There's confidence. Or insanity. Or insane confidence. Woo!Missy vs the Daleks
Actually, this proves that Missy comes face-to-eyestalk with the Daleks. They forged an alliance once before, but surely after the Time War, she couldn't be working with them again?Amazin' Morphin' Maisie…
Different looks for the Game of Thrones star… Or should that be Game of Thrones Stark?Ready, Aim…
Love this shot (geddit?) but what's going on? A bazooka? Could this be from the Viking episode? Surely it couldn't mean… No. Surely not.Fire!
There's a dragon! Now, that's how you do a dragon.The Doctor's new(ish) look…
There's the hoodie thing going on and we've already clocked the red velvet jacket, but aside from all that, he just looks more relaxed, doesn't he? I mean, as relaxed as you can be when you've got a cosmos to save.The whole thing!
The whole trailer oozes excitement, fun, friendship and action. And that's no surprise but great to see that this series looks like it'll ramp up all the things we love about Doctor Who… Born to save the universe… And make Saturday nights the best night of the week!

I was married to a man for five years. During a period of separation, I became pregnant. My husband came back and begged me to reconcile with him and said he wanted to be a part of this child's life. He paid child support voluntarily for four years; was listed on her baptismal certificate, school, and medical records; and claimed her as his daughter on his income tax returns.
Now, he has stopped paying since he met another woman -- and I'm taking him to court for child support. He says he doesn't have to pay. Will he?

I think the art market is a completely different thing to almost any other market. It combines both 'material value' and 'artistic value' into one price and really only reflects the agreement between the buyer and the seller over what the thing is worth. Trying to work out how much film, paper and chems the guy put into it and then adding a margin is useless. I bought a house recently and I know the bricks, mortar and paint are worth a lot less than what I paid for it.
The article Mick quotes mentions Jackson Pollock's Blue Poles that was bought for $A2m in the 70s by the National Gallery of Australia and caused a public outcry with people questioning it's artistic value. There is no question these days that Blue Poles is a very very significant piece and that the NGA got a bargain. Someone offered them $US100m for it a few years back. That's about a 14% rate of return. Not too bad!

The injuries occurred about 7:45 p.m. Thursday in an apartment at East 69th Street and South Cornell Avenue, Chicago Police said.
The boy was taken to Comer Children's, where he was listed in critical condition, police said, offering few details about the case.
It was not immediately known how the child was burned. Police were questioning several people who were in the building at the time of the incident.

This batch of classic cinnamon sugar coated cookies are a cold weather after dinner family favorite. I LOVE anything cinnamon sugary, like my Homemade Churro Bites, one of my fav recipes! The warm cinnamon spice makes them perfect for a fall or even as a yummy Christmas cookie. On the outside they look pretty plain, but with their crispy edges and chewy center, it is almost impossible to eat just one. Although they aren't as fancy as other decorated cookies, and they aren't dipped in chocolate or covered in frosting, these are one of my favorite cookies, along with my good ol' standby, the Chocolate Chip Cookie, of course.
Yield: 16 cookies*
*For a small batch, cut the recipe below in half, using 1 large egg yolk plus 1 1/2 teaspoons milk in place of half of 1 large egg.
IngredientsCinnamon Sugar Coating:
Cookie Dough:
Cookie Dough:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick/4oz) unsalted butter, melted and browned
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180g), weighed or spooned and leveled
- 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
First you need to brown your butter (Click here for a step by step tutorial). Over medium heat, melt butter in a small saucepan. Stirring constantly, continue to cook butter until it starts to foam. Keep stirring until brown specks start to appear at the bottom of the pan and butter has turned an amber color and gives off a warm nutty/toffee scented aroma (about 3-5 minutes total; shorter than average because it is such a small amount of butter). Immediately remove from heat and pour into a shallow heat proof bowl (do not over cook butter, it can burn very easily and turn from a perfect caramel scented brown hue to burnt and blackened within seconds! If you have burnt your butter, you will know by the scent). Place in the refrigerator to cool to room temperature and firm up slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl beat the cooled butter and sugars together on medium speed. Beat in the egg, milk and vanilla on low speed until incorporated. Gently mix in flour mixture just until combine.
Scoop dough into 16 balls (about 2 tablespoons each), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to an hour, or leave in the fridge over night. This allows the flavors to develop and time for the dough to absorb the moisture for a flavorful, hydrated and firm dough yielding rich, golden brown cookies that bake up thicker and more evenly with a better consistency. If you do not plan on making all of the cookies at once, you can wrap and freeze dough balls for later use. Cookie dough can be refrigerated for up to 48 hours or frozen to be used in smaller batches.
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400° F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper. In a shallow bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon for the coating. Remove dough from the refrigerator and roll each ball in cinnamon sugar until well coated and place about 1-2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 8 minutes, until edges just start to turn golden brown but centers are still soft and puffy. Do not over bake. Cool on cookie sheet for 3 minutes and then transfer cookies to a wire rack. Store at room temperature in an air tight container.

It was the best finish by a Rockford Public School boys basketball team in almost two decades. And it would not have happened without Fred Van Vleet.
It was the best finish by a Rockford Public School boys basketball team in almost two decades. And it would not have happened without Fred Van Vleet.
The two-time NIC-10 Boys Basketball MVP earned top honors in the conference at tonight's NIC-10 Banquet. A senior point guard for the Knights, Van Vleet was voted NIC-10 Male Athlete of the Year for leading his team to a third-place finish in the Class 4A state tournament in March.
"He's meant everything to me and to Auburn," Auburn coach Bryan Ott said after his team's win over Chicago Heights Bloom Township in the third-place game in Peoria. "I think everyone would agree that we wouldn't be here without him."
The Wichita State University recruit led the Knights to a 32-3 record. A 6-foot-1 point guard and four-year varsity player, Van Vleet averaged 21.3 points and 6.6 assists.
One of his best performances of the season came in the supersectionals, where he scored 27 points, had five assists, eight rebounds and five steals. Van Vleet scored five of Auburn's last seven points down the stretch to hold off Gurnee Warren 49-43 at the NIU Convocation Center.
"These last four years have been the best four years of my life, and the hardest four years of my life," Van Vleet said after his last game in a Knights uniform. "Somebody once told me that your greatest challenge is your greatest opportunity, and that was definitely true."
He was unable to accept his award in person tonight because he left for Wichita State June 1.

Pedal Power
Huot, Christian, Canadian Dimension
In the cavernous church basement in Montreal's east plateau, bikes are carefully piled up in every direction that meets the eye. In this dim and oddly medieval-looking den, Claire Morissette, founder of the new organization Cyclo Nord Sud (Cyclo North South) is glowing as she talks about her new project. Last October, she sent her first shipment of nearly 500 bicycles to the Federacion de Mujeres de Cuba (Women's Federation of Cuba). Soon after, 500 more bikes were leaving for Cuernavaca, Mexico. Collected from the innumerable bikes gathering dust in garages of the Montreal region, and then swiftly fixed up, they are prepared for a new career in the South, where they can be used as tools for a convivial and ecological development. "Our old bikes can easily see their lives extended by about 30 years in the South," Morissette says.
At a time when Indonesia and China, these bastions of cycling, ban human-powered two- and three-wheelers to clear the way for the progress of automobilization, this idea is going against the current. But Morissette never lets that get in her way. Essentially, the activist is simply taking her fight South. Over the past 25 years, the Montreal bicycle pasionnaria has coordinated the anti-car movement alongside local legend "Bicycle Bob" Silverman, the poet/activist who coined the word "velorution" (velo means bike). With him, she launched "Le Monde bicyclette" -- another play on words meaning either people on bikes or the World on a bike. Specializing in spectacular and colourful actions, they worked for and won practically everything that counts in Montreal in terms of bicycle infrastructure and events. And these are relatively abundant. A few years ago, after all, Montreal was voted the best cycling city in North America by Bicycle Magazine.
Morissette, who also set up Communauto, the first car-sharing service in the country, then decided to pursue an old dream and become involved in international work. She says that "very few development organizations address transportation issues. They don't understand it very much. Yet, the bike is a simple and efficient solution, perfectly adapted to the Third World. In these countries, the car is a complete disaster!"
Disaster in the South
Cyclists and drivers, indeed, are waging a tough battle for the streets of the Third World. Although the South's car fleet is still miniscule compared with the North's, it is growing at twice the rate. Consequently, cars are insidiously invading traditional bicycle grounds. In Indonesia, becaks taxis are being outlawed and tossed into the ocean. In China, where until recently the sound of traffic consisted mostly of the tinkle of bells, people are striving for the signs of prosperity and the city streets are filling up with the roar of motor vehicles. Beijing now has nearly a million motor vehicles and authorities are issuing new driving licenses by the tens of thousands every year. Meanwhile, the Worldwatch Institute points out that if the Chinese adopted the driving habits of North Americans, global greenhouse-gas emissions from the transportation sector would double.
Recently a group of prominent Chinese scientists courageously challenged the central government's plan to develop a car-centered transportation system. They said that the country simply did not have enough space both to feed its people and to build the network of roads, parking spaces and highways that such a system would demand. Already, the government of China estimates that 200,000 hectares of arable land disappear under urban development each year. But the trend is continuing unabated, not only in China but also in most of the Third World. And already, traffic jams in numerous cities such as Taipei, Bangkok, Mexico City and Delhi far exceed anything seen in the North.
One of the results of this increased driving is that the air pollution in large Third World cities is often atrocious. In Delhi, for instance, it is estimated that two-thirds of children have harmful levels of lead in their blood. …

Video Game: NBA 2K
The NBA 2K series are the most popular franchise of video games based on basketball. The series started life as the exclusive basketball title for the Sega Dreamcast, but later appeared on other consoles starting with NBA 2K2. It's since surpassed EA Sports's NBA Live series, to the point, where NBA Elite, a planned refresh of the Live franchise was canned.
The NBA 2K series provides examples of:
- And Now For Something Completely Different: The "My Player" mode in recent titles, where you control nearly every aspect of your player's basketball career.
- Announcer Chatter: Which has been praised by fans as being downright realistic and actually pretty accurate to how commentary on any given NBA game would sound like. Unlike many sports games, 2K records their talent simultaneously in the same room, allowing a lot of way for the commentators to banter amongst each other instead of trading canned lines.
- Awesome Mc Coolname: The player character in 16 is a Spike Lee creation named Frequency Vibrations.
- Character Blog: Your player has a Facebook or Twitter page where fans will cheer or call you out on your performance, opposing players will challenge you or say you came through, the media will cover how you played as well as your poise during interviews and superstars will tag you as a friend if...in Steve Kerr's case for example, you shoot a lot of 3 pointers.
- Holiday Mode: The announcers have special dialogue for a large number of days, up to and including Groundhog Day and April Fools Day.
- Jedi Mind Trick: Invoked in the MyGM mode, where the GM can perform one on a free agent (with a cost to earned credits).GM: This is EXACTLY the contract you're looking for. You won't be able to find a better deal with any other team.Player: You are 100% correct. This is EXACTLY the contract I'm looking for and I accept your contract offer.
- Long Runner: The first game was released in November 1999, and it's still going very, very strong, even surpassing EA's long-running series of NBA games.
- Mission-Pack Sequel: Though there are frequently plenty enough improvements with each passing game to make it more different than the previous year's edition.
- Multi-Platform: Since 2K2, every game in the series has been released on multiple consoles.
- Permanent Elected Official / President for Life: Some editions have included a cutscene in career mode where the league champions travel to the White House to meet Barack Obama. These cutscenes remain unchanged even after the game chronology passes January 20, 2017, the date when Obama's term will expire.
- Shown Their Work: As stated before, the game has some impressively realistic commentary, which is a refresher from other sports games that has repetitive commentary. As well as the other work involved in the game such as the progress of your player reflected by their performance on court and what to improve on, 2K11 was downright eerie in the work put in, from Sirius playing to Jordan slapping powder in front of Jerry Krause to commentary that would have you fooled into thinking it's an actual broadcast. 2K14 takes this Up to Eleven, your created player's performance rated down to performance in interviews and online fan reaction is impressive, but where it gets to almost a Big Brother Is Watching level is through Kinect. It listens for play calling, picks, etc. However, if you swear the Kinect and in turn the referee will hear and you will be called for a technical foul.
- The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The other negative in using bad language, in that after the technical is called you and your team slide in a big way and the opponents step up their game like it was game seven of the finals, fourth quarter, scores are tied. In other words the game makes you pay for the technical by ramping up the difficulty to insane levels.
- The Rookie Showcase has you trying to perform and impress the teams so you can get a high spot in the draft. There's just one problem: every other player on your team is so geeked up to do the same they become utter ball hogs, going against five on one odds and not allowing you a look on even if they have no chance of scoring. Your only hope is to dominate defensively as well as work on getting high numbers in points and assists. Thankfully being drafted means your team is much more focused on winning games rather than putting on a one man show, allowing you to play more to your strengths.

Therapists are increasingly learning about and treating pediatric patients who have pelvic floor dysfunction, yet there are still not enough of them to meet the demand. Many therapists I have spoken to are understandably concerned about how to transfer what they have done for adult patients to a younger population. Here are some of the more common concerns therapists express or questions they ask in relation to the pediatric population:
- Can we use biofeedback with children?
- Do we complete internal assessments on kids?
- How do we change the way we talk to the children?
- How much do we have to teach the parents to get the information across?
- Why do we teach strengthening even if some of the kids mostly need relaxation or coordination?
Although each question deserves a longer answer, we can start with biofeedback, and the answer is a resounding "yes". There is abundant research affirming the potential benefit of biofeedback training for children with pelvic floor dysfunction. And no, we do not typically complete an internal pelvic muscle assessment on children, as that would not be appropriate. Considering that pediatrics can refer to young adults up to age 18-21, there may be a reasonable clinical goal in mind for utilizing internal assessment or treatment. The words we use when we speak to children become very important. Herman & Wallace faculty member Dawn Sandalcidi (known as "Miss Dawn" to her younger patients) gives ample strategies for adapting our language in her continuing education course Pediatric Incontinence and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. For example, Dawn emphasizes the importance of describing an episode of incontinence as a "bladder leak" and of pointing out to a child that his or her bladder leaked, rather than the child leaking. She also likes to encourage parents and school personnel to drop the term "accident" from vocabulary. In her 2-day course, Dawn also teaches therapists how to train children to become a "Bladder Boss", and how to teach young patients about relevant anatomy.
