The euro has its legs taken out as Eurogroup head Juncker says the Greek debt restructuring talks are "ultra-difficult," either sending a signal that another day will pass with no deal, or teeing up the shorts to get slammed later. Euro -0.5% at $1.3095. European shares: Stoxx 50 -0.2%, Germany flat.

Cubs, WGN to part ways?
|What would Harry Caray say about a Cubs-WGN divorce? (Getty Images)
Is a televised Cubs game really a televised Cubs game if it doesn't appear on WGN? That might be a question we're forced to answer on a daily basis (never mind the Cubs' occasional Chicagoland appearance on Comcast). As Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune writes, the Cubs' contract with WGN will expire after the 2014 season, and it's possible -- maybe even likely -- that the Cubs will make their television home elsewhere.
"Obviously, local media rights have been increasing in value," Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts told Sullivan. "Hopefully at some point, we will be able to get more value for our media rights. It's just something that's playing out over time."
Once the Tribune Company, which owns WGN, sold the Cubs, such a crossroads was probably inevitable. Moreover, as the Dodgers and other teams have proved, local-television contracts are infinitely more valuable these days than they have been at any point in the past. That's thanks in large part to sports-progamming's status as the last reliable bastion for television advertising (we watch our sports live, generally speaking, so we can't fast-forward through the commercials). The Cubs are well within their rights to strike a deal with another network, and nostalgia should have no place at the table of such high-level negotiations.
Still, as Sullivan notes, the Cubs and WGN have been together since way back yonder in 1948. Moving telecasts elsewhere would certainly strike a blow against that indelible "Cubs culture" even if it improves the balance sheet at the same time.

Psy comes out with ridiculous video for "Hangover" featuring Snoop Dog, lots of drinking, and tooth brushing.
Filed by Myka Fox | Jun 09, 2014 @ 11:52am
Step 1: drink it up and get sick. Step 2: break YouTube record. (via PSY)
YouTube record breaker Psy teamed up with Snoop dog to make a new ridiculous music video
Taking shots, swimming in fountains, vomiting in hotel bathrooms while being smacked in the back, "Hangover" is everything you'd want from a music video while drunk and nothing you'd want while actually hungover.

The rooms and beds are very comfortable. Check in and go to the pools. For me, there's nothing better than being in the bath-water warm outdoor pool, looking at the hills in the day and the stars at night. I usually get an hour massage in the spa. It's always excellent and I find the spa clean and quiet and the staff welcoming and helpful.

ALERT Program
ALERT 101 is Back! July 17, 2013
ALERT 101: Video Analytics
We are pleased to present the second installment of ALERT 101. This segment's topic is Video Analytics. ALERT researchers Richard Radke, Octavia Camps, and Venkatesh Saligrama explain what it is, how it's used, and how they teach computers how to see and learn.
For users without YouTube access: ALERT 101: Video Analytics
This material is based upon work supported by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security under Award(s) 2008-ST-061-ED0001 and/or 2008-ST-061-ED0002. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Inspired by the success of TED (www.ted.com) and other educational media forums, ALERT has developed the ALERT 101 video series. Each video short features different technologies and research areas that the ALERT Center engages in. We hope that these productions help educate and inform the global community on these topics in an accessible and enjoyable way.
ALERT hosts TSA Administrator, John Pistole and Boston Air Security Officials at NEU June 18, 2013
On June 12th, 2013, the ALERT Center at Northeastern University hosted a visit by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Administrator, John Pistole, along with acting Boston Field Office Supervisory Air Marshal, David Brown, Boston Logan International Airport Federal Security Director, George Naccara and Kenneth Fletcher, Senior Advisor to the Deputy Administrator at TSA.
The visit was led by the Deputy Director of ALERT, Professor Carey M. Rappaport and included a tour of the Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) lab where a group of 20 undergraduate and graduate students participated in demonstrations of ALERT research projects, including Multistatic Millimeter-Wave AIT scanning and Real-Time High-Value 3D External Surface Imaging using the X-Box Kinect sensor.
Professor Rappaport also presented his Standoff Detection Experiment, which uses a powerful millimeter-wave radar unit to detect threats from a distance, such as concealed body-worn explosives.
The tour continued in the Video Analytics Lab run by ALERT Professors Octavia Camps and Mario Sznaier. Using cameras and monitors, Professors Camps and Sznaier, along with their students, staged the lab to look like an airport exit lane, and asked Administrator Pistole and his associates to participate in a demonstration of the lab's Video Analytic Surveillance Transition (VAST)software. The demonstration showed how their software flags "counter-flow" activity, by detecting people who walk "in" through an "exit" lane, thereby alerting security personnel if a person attempted to bypass a TSA checkpoint. Similar software is used for identifying left objects, which was demonstrated by the team when another program flagged a backpack which was left on the ground by a student walking through a crowd.
The visit was an excellent opportunity to present both ALERT research, and other security research that is being done at Northeastern University to Administrator Pistole and his group.
ALERT and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Receive $750,000 DARPA Award May 16, 2013

This project will be led by Prof. Carey Rappaport, the Principal Investigator from Northeastern University, and partner lead, Michelle Espy, from LANL.
ALERT Co-Director Provides Insight on Marathon Bombing Devices April 20, 2013
ALERT Co-Director Jimmie Oxley speaks with Rhode Island News Team 10 about the type of explosive devices used in the Boston Marathon Bombings.
Pressure cooker bombs, like the ones reportedly used in the explosions near the finish line at the Boston Marathon, are a common and simple way to make an explosive device, according to a University of Rhode Island chemistry professor.
"It only takes a small amount of black powder to ignite a powerful blast," said Jimmie Oxley, who also is a member of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Center for Excellence for Explosives, Detection, Mitigation and Response.
She said if you put it inside a common kitchen pressure cooker, you'll have a weapon. The steel container will make fragments which are what do the most damage.
"If you feel the sharpness of those edges, if that hits you, you can see why it takes off an arm. If it was a pressure cooker, it would create frag," Oxley said.
Oxley said of all terrorist weapons, a homemade bomb is the most accessible…Read More

ALERT Researcher Jose Martinez is awarded the Best Paper Award at HST '12 November 20, 2012
Assistant Professor Jose Martinez was awarded the Best Paper Award at the 2012 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST '12). The award was given for his paper entitled, "A Compressed Sensing Approach for Detection of Explosive Threats at Standoff Distances using a Passive Array of Scatters".
The twelfth annual IEEE Conference on Technologies for Homeland Security (HST '12), was held 13-15 November 2012 in Greater Boston, Massachusetts. This year's conference showcased selected technical papers and posters highlighting emerging technologies in the areas of:
- Cyber Security,
- Attack and Disaster Preparation, Recovery, and Response,
- Land and Maritime Border Security
- Biometrics & Forensics.
The conference brought together innovators from leading universities, research laboratories, Homeland Security Centers of Excellence, small businesses, system integrators and the end user community and provided a forum to discuss ideas, concepts and experimental results.
ALERT welcomes United States Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano November 19, 2012
Awareness and Localization of Explosives-Related Threats was pleased to host U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano on Monday, November 12th following her keynote address at Northeastern University's Veteran's Day Ceremony.
To kick off the visit, ALERT's Director, Professor Michael B. Silevitch, provided Secretary Napolitano with an overview of the ALERT Center of Excellence. Prof. Silevitch then introduced undergraduate and graduate students involved with ALERT research and gave a summary of the demonstrations in video analytics and advanced imaging technologies that were prepared for her briefing. Michael described Napolitano's visit as a significant opportunity for ALERT and its homeland security research, saying,
"It was very important to get validation from Secretary Napolitano about the relevance of our research and its transition to the field in the areas of video tracking of threats and passenger screening. This acknowledgement inspires us."
Professor Octavia Camps led the first demonstration featuring ALERT's Engage to Excel (E2E) Video Analytic Surveillance Transition project, VAST. VAST is a program developed in partnership with Siemens and the Cleveland Transportation Security Administration. The live demonstration exhibited the video analytic counter-flow program developed by Dr. Camps and her team and its ability to automatically detect when a person is proceeding the wrong way in an identified traffic pattern (for example, trying to enter through an exit). The resulting detections enable quick identification of an incident and minimize the impact on TSA resources. This project is currently installed within the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
Following the video analytics demonstration, Professor Carey Rappaport showed Secretary Napolitano the capabilities of the ALERT Advanced Imaging Technologies (AIT) laboratory. This laboratory fuses together various scanning tools to create next-generation security scanning systems. Professor Rappaport, Assistant Professor Jose Martinez and graduate student Spiros Mantzavinos demonstrated the operation and data acquisition capabilities of ALERT's advanced portal-based millimeter-wave imaging radar. During the demo, the system scanned a mannequin wrapped in a skin simulant with various representative objects attached for detection. These types of AIT systems can be used to detect illicit items that passengers may be attempting to carry on their person.
"As a DHS-supported researcher, I found Secretary Napolitano's visit very satisfying," Prof. Rappaport commented. "She was of course quite knowledgeable about the science and technology we are pursuing, but she seemed keenly interested in how we were improving the state of the art. She was completely supportive and she motivated the students with her passion to keeping Americans safe."
Spiros Mantzavinos, currently a Northeastern University Doctoral Candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Gordon Engineering Leadership Fellow, had the opportunity to meet Secretary Napolitano. Mantzavinos said, "It was an honor to host Secretary Napolitano for a visit to our ALERT whole-body imaging lab. Receiving attention and recognition from such a prominent figure in the national security arena assures the relevance of the advances we are making."

Our Experts Suggest
How to Sow and Plant
Sowing Seed Indoors:
- Direct sowing is recommended, but to get a head start you can grow cucumbers indoors 3-4 weeks before the last frost in individual biodegradable pots indoors. Sow 2-3 seeds per pot.
- Sow seeds ½ inches deep in seed-starting formula
- Keep the soil moist at 70 degrees F
- Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days
- As soon as seedlings emerge, provide plenty of light on a sunny windowsill or grow seedlings 3-4 inches beneath fluorescent plant lights turned on 16 hours per day, off for 8 hours at night. Raise the lights as the plants grow taller. Incandescent bulbs will not work for this process because they will get too hot. Most plants require a dark period to grow, do not leave lights on for 24 hours.
- Seedlings do not need much fertilizer, feed when they are 3-4 weeks old using a starter solution (half strength of a complete indoor houseplant food) according to manufacturer's directions.
- Thin to one plant per pot.
- Before planting in the garden, seedling plants need to be "hardened off". Accustom young plants to outdoor conditions by moving them to a sheltered place outside for a week. Be sure to protect them from wind and hot sun at first. If frost threatens at night, cover or bring containers indoors, then take them out again in the morning. This hardening off process toughens the plant's cell structure and reduces transplant shock and scalding.
Sowing Directly in the Garden:
- Sow in directly in the garden in fertile, warm soil after danger of frost has passed. Cucumber seeds will not germinate in soil colder than 60 degrees.
- Sow seeds 3 inches apart in groups of 4-6. Cover with ½ inch of fine soil.
- Space groups 19 to 26 inches apart each way.
- Keep evenly moist.
- Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days.
- Thin to 3 or 4 strongest seedlings in each group when they are 1-2 inches high.
How to Grow
- Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or use a mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating.
- Cucumbers have a shallow root system, mulches help retain soil moisture and maintain even soil temperatures.
- Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1-2 inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems. Keep the soil moist but not saturated.
- As plants grow mulch to control weeds, keep fruits off the ground and conserve moisture
- Do not move the vines, they are easily injured.
- Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area.
- When cucumber seeds are direct-sown along a cucumber fence, vines can be trained to grow upright for easy picking and to save space for other plants to grow. Good companion vegetable plants are direct-sown radishes, bush snap beans, and transplants of compact herbs, peppers, eggplants and tomatoes. Attract bee pollinators by planting daisies such as sunflowers, cosmos, zinnias and coneflower, and mints such as bee balm, sage, oregano and lavender. More bees mean more chances flowers will be pollinated and develop into fruits.
Harvest & Preserving
- Like most vegetables, cucumbers are tender and tastiest when harvested young before their seeds are fully developed.
- Slicing cucumber varieties are generally ready for harvest when about six to eight inches long; pickling cucumber types at three to five inches- both in about 50-60 days from seeding.
- To avoid damage cut fruit from the vine rather than pull
- Don't allow the fruits to become overripe on the vine as this signals to the plant that the seed-development process is nearly complete and it will shut down.
- Keep mature cucumber fruits picked to encourage further production. During hot weather cucumbers grow very fast, you may need to harvest every day.
- Harvest the cucumber fruits early in the morning before the sun hits them for the best flavor and texture.

Cucumber, Salad Bush Hybrid is rated out of 5 by 8.Rated 5 out of 5 by citygrower from great flavor and great yield I have planted these in the past but had much better luck this year. 3 plants produced as much as I could eat (I am the only one in our house who eats cucumbers regularly). The cukes were crisp and sweet. The vines were definitely longer than I expected but were still much smaller than other varieties. They started dying in late August but overall I was impressed.Date published: 2013-09-06Rated 4 out of 5 by SStephens from lots of cucumbers My plants are taller than the stated plant size and grew like crazy! Blossoms galore have now turned into lots of cucumbers! The bumblebees love these too! Keep well watered though, as they are very thirsty and wilt in the southern heat ! No problems with pests of any sort in containers on my deck. I'm using cages in my containers to help support the plants - I highly recommend a trellis or cage! Great tasting cucumbers as well!Date published: 2013-07-18Rated 5 out of 5 by Novice2 from great Cucumber The plants are healthy and full of yellow blooms. I can't wait to enjoy the cucumbers!Date published: 2012-05-09Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Cucumber, Salad Bush Hybrid I am very disappointed in my order. I know the order was for 30 seeds which I receive but at least 3 are doubtful they will come up. I would think that at the price of $4.95 you put a few extra. I will not be purchasing any more seeds from Burpees.Date published: 2012-05-09Rated 1 out of 5 by dadiffer from bush cucumbers i only got two plants to germinate, planted these years ago and they did ok, wish more had germinated.Date published: 2012-05-09Rated 5 out of 5 by QueenieJeannie from Very pleased Planted a short, 3 foot row in an organic raised bed. We had plenty of cucs before the heat and drought of summer crippled the plants but I replanted again in mid August and got another crop before the first freeze. Am ordering again this year.Date published: 2012-03-25Rated 1 out of 5 by ctsb from What happened? I got zero cukes. Plenty of flowers, saw the bees polinating, but nothing. Will try a different variety next year.Date published: 2010-08-10Rated 4 out of 5 by shwanky from Another great producer! This as well as the bush champion were in my garden this year simply due to its BUSH characteristics. It was a good choice. Nicely compact keeping itself from intermingling with the other cuke plants on the fence and from invading the space of nearby plants. Made harvesting a breeze. Nuisance insects were at a bare minimum this year, I think due to less cramped space this year in my garden overall. THis was a great producer early on and right up to the hottest part of the summer , due to disease, or maybe just natural life span. Leaves started turning brown, very crispy, still producing fruit but very sub par. We had planty of cukes for our liking and our neighbors with 3 of these and 3 bush champions! Will order again!!Date published: 2007-11-11

God was making a clear contrast between the land of Egypt where God's people were enslaved and the land of Canaan that He had prepared for them. One of the striking contrasts that God made was the way in which food was provided. In Egypt, long canals were dug running from the Nile out into the fields where seed was planted. All of this was enormous physical labor. Miles of canals were dug, according to scripture, with their "feet." Their harvest was almost totally dependent on their own labor. Do you ever feel that way? The weight of your responsibilities at your work and/or your church and the spiritual condition of your family and those you serve sits firmly on your own shoulders? Been there, done that! So many times Christians fall, exhausted, under the load of personal responsibility. After all, if you don't "do it", who will? All the family issues, stuff at work, daily responsibilities … what happens if we don't get them done? Well, that was the way of Egypt—the land of slavery.
Please notice what God says about the land promised to His people. The crops were watered not by the work of their feet but by the "rain of heaven"! That truth was almost enough to make this Baptist dance! The future and the fruit of my contribution for the Kingdom are not dependent solely on me and my labor—but the rain of heaven. The needs of my family are not dependent on my fleshly endeavors. Of course I have to be faithful. Of course, God expects me to be diligent—but growth, blessing, power does not come from the work of my "feet" but the "rain of Heaven." That's the way it is in Canaan! Add to that Joshua 24:13: "So I gave you a land on which you did not toil and cities you did not build; and you live in them and eat from vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant."
Back in Egypt it was all about you and your labor. In Canaan, it's all about Him and His work through us.

St. Maarten and St. Martin Timeshares
Ordered by City
Shared between the French and the Dutch since the mid-seventeenth century, the tiny island of St Martin/St Maarten is one of the most touristed islands in this part of the Caribbean and a huge duty-free shopping area. Opinions about the island are as divided as the island itself. Ask the streams of repeat visitors, and they'll tell you that this tiny island is paradise on earth, with fabulous beaches and every type of tourist facility imaginable. Ask others, and you may hear how rapid and barely controlled development has turned a once-beautiful place into "a graceless monument to vulgarian greed", as one disgruntled writer put it.
The truth lies somewhere in between. The island does boast some of the finest beaches in the Eastern Caribbean, particularly at Orient Beach on the French side, as well as some stunning scenery, most notably in the interior around Pic Paradis , and many excellent restaurants and hotels on both sides of the border. On the other hand, the hunt for the tourist dollar can feel unrelenting and, at times, it is hard to discern the real country under the veneer of concrete development, souvenir shops and the waves of tourists (all particularly acute on the Dutch side in the capital Philipsburg).
If all you want to do is lie on the beach and play in the sea, both St Martin and St Maarten are not bad options. Travelling between the French and Dutch sides (as many visitors do) is hassle-free, since the border is marked only in one spot (by a small obelisk) and there are no border crossing formalities . Ultimately, if the crowds get too much for you, bear in mind that it's a very short flight or ferry ride to some of the quietest and most undeveloped islands in the entire Caribbean - particularly delightful are Saba and St Eustatius.
As in much of the Caribbean, the island is a year-round destination; however, the best time to visit is between mid-December and mid-April when rainfall is low and the heat is tempered by cooling trade winds.

NUI Galway Professor Raises Profile of Research on Ageing
Monday, 30 August 2010
Research on ageing led by Professor Tom Scharf, Director of the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology at NUI Galway, has been profiled in a new brochure that seeks to raise the profile of social science research in the UK. Published jointly by the Academy of Social Sciences, the British Society of Gerontology, and Age UK, the brochure was recently launched in the House of Commons, London and is part of the Making the Case for the Social Sciences series. The brochure highlights projects undertaken by researchers on ageing that have had a significant impact on public policy or social behaviour, and helped society to address some of the challenges that are associated with demographic change. The research by Professor Scharf is a study of the experiences of older people living in some of England's most disadvantaged urban communities. Having collected an array of information from older residents in neighbourhoods in London, Liverpool and Manchester, Professor Scharf drew from the older people's daily experiences of poverty, social isolation, loneliness, and crime to help shape public perceptions of the ageing of some of Britain's most disadvantaged citizens. This research has been used by charities, local authorities, and national government in their efforts to improve the quality of older people's lives. In particular, Professor Scharf's research has encouraged policy-makers to consider intervening earlier in individuals' lives, for example, at times of bereavement or when chronic health problems begin, in order to prevent the onset of disadvantage. Commenting on the research, Professor Scharf said: "It's more important now than ever before for scientists to emphasise the value of their work to a general audience. Policy makers often need good research evidence delivered in simple, jargon-free language. If researchers are to have a positive impact on policy, they have to think of new and creative ways to communicate their findings". Professor Scharf will speak about his research at a forthcoming seminar entitled Maximising the Impact of Research: Perspectives from Social Gerontology on Monday, 13 September at 12 noon in Room MY336, Áras Moyola at NUI Galway. The seminar is open to all. For further details on the seminar please contact the Irish Centre for Social Gerontology at 091 495461 or email@example.com.

Bone Cancer Specialist to Deliver Sir Peter Freyer Memorial Lecture
Monday, 30 August 2010
NUI Galway will host Ireland's largest surgical conference, the 35th Sir Peter Freyer Memorial Lecture and Surgical Symposium, from 3-4 September 2010. Dr Patrick Boland, a senior member of the Orthopaedic Service in the Department of Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York Hospital, will deliver the Memorial Lecture at 5pm on the first day of the conference. The annual event provides a platform for healthcare professionals to present their research and clinical work and allows for the merging of both scientific and clinical information. It is named in memory of the Galway-born surgeon, Sir Peter Freyer, who performed the first successful surgical operation to remove an enlarged prostate in 1900. Dr Patrick Boland will speak on the topic: "Living with Metastatic Bone Cancer". He specialises in the management of malignant and benign tumours of the bone, including those of the spine and pelvis, and in soft tissue sarcomas of the extremities. Soft tissue sarcomas are particular types of malignant tumours which can develop from soft tissues like fat, muscle, nerves, fibrous tissues, blood vessels, or deep skin tissues. Dr Boland also has special training in limb salvage surgery, which is the removal of limb cancers while preserving the function of the limb. He has a special interest in the management of tumours of the sacrum, a large triangular bone located at the base of the spine and connected to the pelvis. Professor of Surgery at NUI Galway, Michael Kerin says: "We are delighted to welcome Dr Boland to our University. He is involved in such extensive research activities, including on-going clinical research in sacral tumours and in the assessment of quality of life in patients with metastatic bone cancer, that he offers a great insight in this important area of surgical medicine". On the second day of the Surgical Symposium, Brendan Moran, Consultant Surgeon at North Hampshire Hospital NHS Trust, Basingstoke, UK will present a lecture entitled: "The Learning Curve in Colorectal Cancer Surgery - Grappling with New Technology". -Ends-

Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine signs a MOU with NUI Galway
Thursday, 26 August 2010
The Network of Excellence for Functional Biomaterials (NFB) and the Regenerative Medicine Institute (REMEDI) at NUI Galway have formally signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM), one of the leading institutes in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in the USA. Speaking at the signing, Professor Abhay Pandit, Director of the NFB, NUI Galway, said: "This agreement facilitates the establishment of student and faculty exchanges, research collaborations and the co-development of any specific tissue engineering and regenerative medicine-related projects which may have academic, clinical and commercial implications". The Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine is part of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The centre has built up a significant reputation in the development of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine and is renowned for development from concept to translation in the clinic. Professor Timothy O'Brien, Director of REMEDI at NUI Galway, said: "I look forward to the potential that this agreement offers to both REMEDI and WFIRM to accelerate the translation of regenerative medicine from basic research to the clinic". The agreement between the institutions was established through Professor David Williams, who is based at Wake Forest University and who is also Scientific Advisor to the NFB and Professor Abhay Pandit, Director of NFB at NUI Galway. The NFB is a Science Foundation Ireland funded strategic research cluster which has established a critical mass of biomaterials research in Galway. -Ends-

NUI Galway Receives Grants for Ageing Research
Wednesday, 25 August 2010
NUI Galway has been granted funding for two research projects focussing on older people by The Centre for Ageing Research and Development in Ireland (CARDI). The Centre recently granted four projects funding amounting to almost €300,000 on a national level, and NUI Galway projects account for half of them. The research is aimed at improving the lives of older people and informing future policy for an ageing population in Ireland. NUI Galway's Professor Eamon O' Shea, from the Irish Centre of Social Gerontology is Principal Investigator on "Social Exclusion and Older People in Diverse Rural Communities". This project brings together multidisciplinary researchers from NUI Galway and Queen's University Belfast with community organisations Rural Community Network and FORUM Letterfrack. The group will examine social exclusion among older people living in diverse rural areas and investigate ways to prevent social exclusion. The second project, also a collaboration between NUI Galway and Queens University Belfast, entitled: "Older Women Workers' Access to Pensions: Vulnerabilities, Perspectives and Strategies" will examine the position of older women workers, both rural and urban, in relation to their access to economic security, most particularly in the form of pensions. This is key policy consideration in Ireland due to the current economic and financial crisis. NUI Galway's Principal Investigator on this project is Dr Nata Duvvury, of the School of Political Science and Sociology. There are over one million people aged 60 or older living on the island of Ireland and this number is set to increase in the coming decades. This demographic shift will require creative policies to respond to the needs of an older population. New policies will, in turn, require improved research relating to ageing if they are to be well-designed and effective. The CARDI Grant Programme has funded 18 projects to date and aims to promote north-south research partnerships that bring together different subject areas to look at issues affecting older people in new ways. A focus of the programme is to support research that seeks to involve older people and to inform better policy making relating to ageing issues and older people. Professor Bob Stout, Queen's University Belfast, Co-chair of CARDI, said: "The four grant winners will examine crucial issues of concern for older people including social exclusion, financial security and health and social care. They also have a strong focus on the policy implications of their research work and show a commitment to partnership and interdisciplinary work, all of which underpin CARDI's mission". CARDI is a not for profit organisation developed by leaders from the ageing field across Ireland (North and South) including age focused researchers, academics, statutory, voluntary and community sector representatives with support from The Atlantic Philanthropies. It is overseen by a Steering Group and hosted by the Institute of Public Health in Ireland. For Further information go to www.cardi.ie/grantprogramme. -Ends-

NUI Galway to Host Inaugural Geography and Archaeology Event
Friday, 20 August 2010
The School of Geography and Archaeology at NUI Galway will next week (Tuesday, 24 August) host the University's first Annual Symposium on Environment, Society, and Development. The theme of the one-day inaugural Symposium is "Geographing the Future" and will focus on thinking critically through and developing alternatives to the various geo-political, social, economic and environmental processes that shape the world we live in. The Symposium coincides with the close of the inaugural year of the MA in Environment, Society and Development at NUI Galway. Proceedings will consist of panel discussions, keynote addresses, and themed panel sessions on topics in the field. Professor Neil Smith, City University New York, will deliver the keynote address entitled "For (Political) Climate Change". Other distinguished participants include Professor George Michael Dillon, Professor of Politics and International Relations at Lancaster, UK, and Professor Gerry Kearns, Cambridge University, London. Dr Anna Stanley, Lecturer in Human Geography and Symposium organiser, says: "Geography at NUI Galway is fast becoming a centre for excellence in the study of Environment, Society and Development; a centre operating at the forefront of scholarly research, teaching and civic engagement with the ability to attract world class students and scholars. The symposium will provide a unique and truly interdisciplinary forum within which participants can engage the most pressing issues of our day and challenge themselves to propose sustainable and just alternatives". Another event to be hosted by the School of Geography and Archaeology next week (Friday, 27 August), will be a conference surrounding early modern Ireland entitled, "People, Places and Memory", supported by the Irish Post-Medieval Archaeology Group (IPMAG). This is the first time cutting-edge research by postgraduate students on early modern Ireland, c. 1550 – 1800 will be showcased at NUI Galway. The speakers represent young researchers from a number of different subjects such as history, archaeology, place-name studies and architecture. The meeting will offer participants the chance to lectures on themes ranging from the Munster and Ulster plantations through to the Cromwellian land settlement in Co. Clare and the mass-rocks of the penal period. The keynote speaker for the Early Modern Ireland Conference will be Dr Audrey Horning, University of Leicester, who has written and lectured widely on the archaeology of Ulster in the 16th and 17th centuries as well as on historical memories and how they impact on popular perceptions of the past in Ireland, Britain and the United States. -ENDS-

Children's Open Day at Zoology Museum in NUI Galway
Friday, 13 August 2010
The Zoology and Marine Biology Museum at NUI Galway will host an open day for children aged between 7 and 12 years to celebrate 'Wild Child Day' of National Heritage Week on 21 August from 10.30am-12.00pm. Since it officially opened in September 2009, the museum has been home to many fine exhibits from glass models of marine invertebrates to a stuffed capybara, the favourite food of the anaconda. Visitors can wander around the Museum exploring the different exhibits, be drawn in by the beady eyes, scaly crocodiles, the skull of a minke whale, or the tooth of an elephant that is much bigger than you would expect. There is also an extensive collection of glass models of marine life from the renowned Blaschka collection, dating from the 1880's. In addition to the exhibits in glass cases, there will be some live specimens of scorpions, tarantulas, spiders, centipedes and snakes on display for children to see. Currently, a project is underway to label all the exhibits to increase information and interaction with visitors. Many of the specimens are routinely used for teaching purposes with second and third year zoology students. During the open day there will be a member of staff on hand to explain exhibits to children. Eoin Mac Loughlin, Senior Technical Officer in Zoology, NUI Galway, says: "Our Zoology Museum is a great asset to Galway, the nearest thing to it is the National History Museum in Dublin. It is interesting to young and old alike. It offers inspiration for Art students and a place to explore for children. Looking at the stuffed animals and glass models, children become captivated and learn to engage with their natural environment and wildlife, which is what National Heritage Week is all about". The Zoology and Marine Biology museum at NUI Galway has in its possession four genuine Charles Darwin specimens that have just recently been restored and put on display in the museum. They include a grison, an Azara's fox, a Patagonian cavy and a guira cuckoo originally given by Darwin to the Zoological Society of London in 1837. National Heritage Week is coordinated by the Heritage Council, the statutory body charged with identifying, protecting, preserving and enhancing Ireland's national heritage. National heritage includes monuments, archaeological objects, heritage objects, architectural heritage, flora, fauna, wildlife habitats, landscapes, seascapes, wrecks, geology, heritage gardens and parks, and inland waterways. For further information on the open day contact the Galway Civic Trust 091-564946. For more information on National Heritage Week visit http://www.heritageweek.ie. -Ends-

NUI Galway Involved in European Radiation Research
Thursday, 12 August 2010
NUI Galway is one of the partners in a new European multi-million euro research project, investigating methods of screening radiation exposure. The project known as BOOSTER (Bio Dosimetric Tools for Triage and Responders) is an EU initiative to increase the security of citizens in the event of the malevolent use of radiation which focuses on speeding up the triaging process, which is the prioritisation of victims for treatment immediately following exposure to radiation. The €3.5 million project will have a duration of three years, (2010-2013). The new tools for screening radiation will be developed and integrated into a toolkit for the first responders in EU member states to use. The authorities responsible for responding to emergency situations vary. The task may fall to fire services, civil defence or occasionally the military. To determine the amount of radiation to which a person has been exposed, standard practice involves taking blood or another bodily fluid, looking at it under a microscope and documenting changes in chromosomes. This process typically takes up to three days to yield results and is very labour intensive. Since 2004, researchers in Biochemistry at NUI Galway have been working to reduce the period of time it takes to determine the amount of radiation to which a person is exposed. This work will now feed into phase one of the project. By counting the centrosomes, which are sub-cellular structures that control how cells divide and which multiply after irradiation, it is hoped that it will be possible to reduce the waiting time for results to less than one day. Dr Ciaran Morrison, a senior lecturer in the Centre for Chromosome Biology, who is leading the project at NUI Galway, explains: "There is urgency in triaging people exposed to radiation because it is necessary to quickly identify those who need no further intervention, those who will require close follow up, and those who will require hospitalisation. Serious exposure to large amounts of radiation can cause death in a short space of time, so rapid triaging is critical". Automation of the process to reduce labour intensity is another facet of the project, endeavouring to prepare the system for semi-industrial quantities of people, to cope with the event of a large-scale civilian disaster such as a nuclear power plant explosion. A more efficient process would also have applications for employees working in an environment where regular exposure to radiation is likely and civilian surveillance necessary. Dr Ciaran Morrison added: "It is exciting to see that the basic cell biology research we have done at NUI Galway, funded by Science Foundation Ireland and the Health Research Board, can have a wide range of unanticipated applications in the real world".

The good, racist peopleMarch 08,2013Last month the actor Forest Whitaker was stopped in a Manhattan delicatessen by an employee. Whitaker is one of the pre-eminent actors of his generation, with a diverse and celebrated catalog ranging from The Great Debaters to The Crying Game to Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai. By now it is likely that he has adjusted to random strangers who cant get his turn as Idi Amin out of their heads. But the man who approached the Oscar winner at the deli last month was in no mood for autographs. The employee stopped Whitaker, accused him of shoplifting and then promptly frisked him. The act of self-deputization was futile. Whitaker had stolen nothing. On the contrary, hed been robbed.
The deli where Whitaker was harassed happens to be in my neighborhood. Columbia University is up the street. Broadway, the main drag, is dotted with nice restaurants and classy bars that cater to beautiful people. I like my neighborhood. And Ive patronized the deli with some regularity, often several times in a single day. Ive sent my son in my stead. My wife would often trade small talk with whoever was working checkout. Last year when my beautiful niece visited, she loved the deli so much that I felt myself a sideshow. But its understandable. Its a good deli.
Since the Whitaker affair, Ive read and listened to interviews with the owner of the establishment. He is apologetic to a fault and is sincerely mortified. He says that it was a sincere mistake made by a decent man who was just doing his job. I believe him. And yet for weeks now I have walked up Broadway, glancing through its windows with a mood somewhere between Marvin Gayes Distant Lover and Al Greens For the Good Times.
In modern America we believe racism to be the property of the uniquely villainous and morally deformed, the ideology of trolls, gorgons and orcs. We believe this even when we are actually being racist. In 1957, neighbors in Levittown, Pa., uniting under the flag of segregation, wrote: As moral, religious and law-abiding citizens, we feel that we are unprejudiced and undiscriminating in our wish to keep our community a closed community.
A half-century later little had changed. The comedian Michael Richards (Kramer on Seinfeld) once yelled at a black heckler from the stage: Hes a nigger! Hes a nigger! Hes a nigger! Confronted about this, Richards apologized and then said, Im not a racist and called the claim insane.
The idea that racism lives in the heart of particularly evil individuals, as opposed to the heart of a democratic society, is reinforcing to anyone who might, from time to time, find their tongue sprinting ahead of their discretion. We can forgive Whitakers assailant. Much harder to forgive is all that makes Whitaker stand out in the first place. New York is a city, like most in America, that bears the scars of redlining, blockbusting and urban renewal. The ghost of those policies haunts us in a wealth gap between blacks and whites that has actually gotten worse over the past 20 years.
But much worse, it haunts black people with a kind of invisible violence that is given tell only when the victim happens to be an Oscar winner. The promise of America is that those who play by the rules, who observe the norms of the middle class, will be treated as such. But this injunction is only half-enforced when it comes to black people, in large part because we were never meant to be part of the American story. Forest Whitaker fits that bill, and he was addressed as such.
I am trying to imagine a white president forced to show his papers at a national news conference, and coming up blank. I am trying to imagine a prominent white Harvard professor arrested for breaking into his own home, and coming up with nothing. I am trying to see Sean Penn or Nicolas Cage being frisked at an upscale deli, and I find myself laughing in the dark. It is worth considering the messaging here. It says to black kids: Dont leave home. They dont want you around. It is messaging propagated by moral people.
The other day I walked past this particular deli. I believe its owners to be good people. I felt ashamed at withholding business for something far beyond the merchants reach. I mentioned this to my wife. My wife is not like me. When she was 6, a little white boy called her cousin a nigger, and it has been war ever since. What if they did that to your son? she asked.
And right then I knew that I was tired of good people, that I had had all the good people I could take.

President Abdullah Gül, held a tête-à-tête with France's newly elected President François Hollande, and asked him three questions: 1. What is your interest in posing obstacles to Turkey's European Union membership bid? 2. What conflicting interests do France and Turkey have? 3. Is it in your interest that a French president has not visited Turkey for 20 years?
Why he is so reproachful is obvious. During the term of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, France was one of the leading countries that blocked Turkey's EU membership, followed by German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Turkey's road to full membership has been filled with problems and obstacles due to opposition from the two leading countries of the union.
Turkey's full membership negotiations with the EU started in 2005. Although some countries who applied for membership at a later date have become full members, we are still being hindered from making any progress. There is strong opposition to Turkey's EU membership both from within Turkey and without.
Main reasons for this opposition from the European side are Turkey's identity as a Muslim country, its rapidly increasing population, the relatively younger age of its population and potential problems the immigration of large number of Turkish people to Europe may cause. Sarkozy and Merkel openly said Turkey, being a dominantly Muslim country, cannot be a part of Europe. Instead, they suggested that the union should strike a privileged partnership deal with Turkey. But Turkey declined their proposal.
So far, membership negotiations have been derailed. Since 2005, Turkey has managed to open only 13 chapters in accession negotiations. Out of 20 chapters that are not opened, 17 were frozen. Of these, eight were suspended by the EU Council because Turkey refused to open up its ports to Greek Cyprus-flagged vessels. Five chapters were frozen because of the French veto. Although Turkey established the Ministry for EU Affairs to indicate that it is attaching great importance to its EU bid, it has received only humiliating treatment from Europe.
Why do we, then, insist on becoming a member of the EU? Here, I should note, Europe's perspective is not monolithic. There are those who welcome Turkey's membership and insist on facilitating its bid. Certain groups including EU Commissioner for Enlargement Stefan Füle and certain European countries back Turkey's membership. Indeed, Füle paid a visit to our country last week. He held talks with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and chief EU negotiator Egemen Bağış. These talks focused on the "Positive Agenda," an initiative invented to blow fresh air into the sails of Turkey's EU bid. The Positive Agenda is a mode of operation which ensures that we will be ready when the blocked chapters are opened. It is a sort of active patience. It is in force in eight different areas including energy and social policies. The psychological and motivating impact of this is the icing on the cake. So this initiative is a show of our resolve.
Turkey's EU membership is really important. Look, Turkey is finding itself in a new state of polarization after warding off the old one. Ongoing trials of coups and coup attempts are making pro-tutelage groups unhappy. The guardians of the status quo are resisting. The events leading up to the Uludere incident, in which 34 civilians were mistaken for terrorists and killed by military airstrikes in Şırnak's Uludere district due to false intelligence, have not been illuminated in the five months since it happened. The critical homestretch for drafting a new constitution has started. Today, Turkey needs to ride on the EU bid wave more than ever. As a matter of fact, those who favor democratization inside and in Europe are being tested.
Turkey's EU membership is very important both for Europe and for the global system. There is no project more important than Turkey's EU membership for the sake of global peace and the alliance of civilizations. Muslims living in Europe, the Muslim-dominated countries like Albania and Bosnia, the Turkic world and the Muslim world are all focused on the fate of this membership. Europe and the world will not be able to cope with polarization and conflicts stemming from racism and Islamophobia. Turkey's EU membership is a historic opportunity for abolishing prejudices and creating a sound climate for co-existence and integration in the new millennium.
