Qualy: I had great pace, and I knew that if I pulled a good lap, I would have very good chances to be on pole. I nailed it, and I got the 2 points. Miguel 2nd. 6 Portuguese in the top 10. Perfect. A good start from something that would only go downwards…
Race 1: I was chatting with Miguel in order to get a strategy to put him in front without losing any position to others, as we were faster if I was pushing. We managed it perfectly in the 1st lap, and I thought we had done enough to have a quiet solid race. Unfortunately Taulborg came back quickly enough to team up with Barrick and they did not lose the draft. We decided to pit early, to make them run in free air, but when they came out of the pits we were astonished to see they were in front of us. Good job from them. We found a way past Taulborg, but as Taulborg was using a different line, he hit me exactly when he should not have done it, sending my car to multiple rolls and wall hitting. I was beyond furious, and I don't know how on earth I was able to continue, even though my top speed was not even 250 km/h. A rescued 6th for me, and good 2nd place for Miguel.
Race 2: Now I had Vandoorne behind, and I knew we would team up to runaway, which would be enough for me to get either a 1st or a 2nd, something I really needed as I had very strong pace. We did it in the beginning, but clearly it was not meant to be again… Even though the odds of this incident are incredibly low, Pedro was coming out of the pits and spun straight into my path, so I swerved fast to the right to avoid him, hitting the wall hard, and getting a suspension problem. I was yelling to my bad luck, as I could not believe this was happening to me, but I honestly can't blame Pedro for that, as it was an indirect accident and he was the one who lost more with it. I REALLY appreciated the fact that he tried to press ESCAPE on time not to hit me, knowing that it would cost him a DNF and zero points. It made me think that maybe "just" hitting the wall was not that bad… Thanks for that Pedro. Well, I lost loads of speed and had a suspension problem, but fortunately I was able to sneak in behing Miguel and Barrick, and go with them. As we came out of the pits, Miguel lost some time, and I was 0,6 down on Barrick, which was enough for me to lose him, due to my suspension problem. I waited for Miguel, and in the end we got 3rd and 4th. We tried our best to make our team work perfectly, and in what concerned us, we were good enough. Thanks Miguel.
I would just like to ask the drivers to be more careful when fighting for position, as TRUST is the most important thing amongst each other if you want to have close racing, and I was still not able to gain this feeling this season, as often I am being put out without any fault.
Cheers and bring Laguna.
Miguel Neto (s1)
Qualify: I had great pace to ride alone so I knew that if i can achive a good lap i was be able to stay in front row…. The lap was good and i manage a P2 with my teammate along side me…perfect.
Race 1: I was chatting with Francisco and in our strategy i was the front car…so my first objective was achive P1 without Francisco lossing places…Great first lap and here we are P1 and P2…Perfect start of race….With a good pace Keith and Jesper follow us, so we decided to pit earlier and gain advantage…When Keith and Jesper exit the pits we are P3 and P4, but very close…
When Jesper commit an error in the last corner we have the oportunity to get P2 and P3 but after this i saw the touch beetween Jesper and Francisco… After this i battle for the win with Keith… In the final lap i defend P1 in the first corner and i exit well for the last one…Keith was on my tale and in the last corner i saw that he wasnt in possicion to overtake me because is car was completely behind mine… i follow the right line to the last corner but Keith cut the line in a last breath (forcing an impossible overtaking in my oppinion) resulting a touch of him in my rear wheel that get my car into the wall lossing all the normal exit speed……I lose P1 in the last meters of the race…Final P2.
Great result to my teammate after the incident and all the other Portugal Friends…
Race 2: Starting P7 the objective were try to catch Francisco to work again for the result…I get P3 andi was pushing by Keith to try catch Francisco and Stoffel…When Francisco lose the time to avoid Pedro we here able to get together again in the race…In the pit exit i commit a big error that cost me 2 or 3 seconds and i lose my teammate and the front runneres…Francisco wait for me to work together and we could achive P3 and P4…. Thanks to my teamamate Francisco for the hard work and congratulations to all the other Portuguese drivers.
Thanks to all the drivers and see you all in Laguna .
Pedro Amaral (S1)
Q: I knew I could draft, so this Superpole thing was my main concern. Made a good solid lap wich gave me 5th place. As I finished the lap and pressed escape, I realized I was trembling, so I was nervous as hell…
R1: Got a good start, but when trying to make a move I had to lift the throttle too much and I came to 7th. I passed Stoffel who then passed me again. I kept with him and Khan until I made a little mistake, wich almost made me lost the draft. After 2 laps a little behind I managed to get to the rear of Vandoorne again, and we were again trying to gain some time to the 4 guys ahead, wich seemed a very difficult task…
Then I think Khan touched the apron on last turn, went sideways, Vandoorme also, them me…we had a few second to the field, but when they got there 3 cars were all over the track, and the result was catastrophic.
Damage not repairable for me, and I was out and very dissapointed.
R2: I was starting on 18th, had a good start and managed to gain some positions. When I was fighting with Michael Carver for 12th or 13th on lap 4 I think, I saw him go trough the grass over the start finish line. I had a good line to try and go for the inside and I went for it. He lost some speed so I gave him a little touch on the rear, wich sent us both flying to the left exit pit wall. Sorry Michael for that…
But worst was yet to come. I lost time and my car was ruined, so as soon as I was able I went for pits to change tyres and repair the car. When I was coming out of pits, making the left turn, Francisco warns me that hes coming fast. Well, I tryed to push the car more to the inside to stay out of the way and I spun. I immediatly pressed escape, but Francisco didn't know that, so he went to the outside and hit the wall hard, so basicly I ruined his chances to win the race.I knew he was dissapointed…sorry mate.
He helped and pushed for me the whole week during practice, so I felt terrible.
Looking ahead, I wish Laguna Seca makes me forget about this one.
Hugo Barbosa (S1)
Q. – I wasn't much confident because had no experience at all in oval tracks, but the help from my portuguese mates during week was precious and was able to be 9th behind Taulborg and followed by portuguese Hugo Gonçalves. I was proud of the impressive display from portuguese drivers, because we were 6 on top 10 and mainly of course from Francisco Villar and Neto front row.
Race 1 – I knew that it will be all about draft, so was really focused to keep among the fastest. I made a good start and a good lap 1 so was able to rise one position to 8th, but slowly started to lost contact with the group up front, so you know, the guys behind (Caiado, Gonçalves, Yuri, Swider) catched me, I try to stay leading them but a small tap in my rear from Caiado (no worries mate) make me lost 4 positions then the huge mess cames, when Kan, Stoffel and Amaral spun out and all of us arrive there at 230 km/h. The contact was inevitable and I rolled over many times stopped in pit entrance, I was surprised that my car was working (very damaged) and entered pits. From them on just want to keep the car on the track, since the major problems affected my performance so a final 14th place.
Race 2 – Nothing special to report. In first laps I managed to climb a few positions to 11th but lost contact to previous group, so was a question to manage to keep the pace and support pressure from guys like Kan, Swidersky, Braham, lost positions for some of them but was able to overtake other so a regular 11th place.
Let's go to Laguna Seca…
William Levesque (S2)
I'm not very lucky, same old !
Q: Quite decent, a 46.3 for 9th
R1: Got an awesome start with Butchie as my wingman, we got 4 places on the start and held it until pitstops… He forgot to confirm it so I was alone… Still 5th, following 4th place 2-3 seconds in front… As I thought I had 5th the server lagged (I'm not the only one, although some had no issues ?) and got the appron, spun and found myself parked on the outside of Turn 3-4. Stayed there waiting for an opening but unfortunately Donald came too hot in the corner and hit me, killing the car… 17th in the end
R2: Struggle at the start as the guys back seemed unfamiliared with rolling start, still was able to make a couple of positions but then drama… I was bumpdrafting Bill, eased off through Turn 3 but he slowed down more, I hitted him just a bit, no big deal fortunately but after I saw why he lift off… A Big One ! I went through there, cars everywhere, got hit, managed to point it the right way, got going again but then a car went jumping infront of me, hit it and broke the suspension ! It was a few laps before pit window so I was screwed… A bout 3/4 in Jim Eagan tried to pit but got to fast through Turn 3, went sideways and I couldn't avoid him… Broke the car again but decided not to repair, pitted for my mandatory stop and finished 12th !
Good grief… Thanks TPS, RD, Keith, Ryan and Toby !
Ray Lilley (S2)
Not a fan of ovals, I entered the event with caution in mind.
I qualified 14th and felt a little disappointed considering the 100's of free practice laps I have put in. 46.5xx being my best time in spite of some excellent in-car advice from Simon Kilov. Cheers Simon, that was sporting of you to offer your time and advice.
R1: The plan was simple; drive forward and keep turning left until someone tells me to stop. Great plan as I finished 8th. (And it may get better?)
R2: I clicked on Race and then… Uh-oh, I'm on pole! Oh no! DANGER Will Robinson, DANGER! Well, I never read the script for this situation so I made yet another cunning plan right there a then; drive forward and turn left until someone tells me to stop!
Knowing I have a whole bunch of faster drivers behind is not easy to deal with. Lap 1 is fine, I have that sewn up. After that it was wondering where to put myself as they come charging down on me? With 29 laps to run I was not going to make it too hard for them to pass.
Within L2-3 Glenn came bearing down the back straight and I moved over to let him through. I hoped I could hook onto the back of him and produce a space between the rest who were in battle. But, it didn't happen. I held onto 2nd until lap 6 when Simon & Mathieu drafted pass me into the corner of 4 & 5. And, how lucky they were, too. I stayed high a little to allow them under and as I came down onto the corner to close it off a clipped the apron.
Daniel, how unlucky were you. A few more feet and you may have avoided that. So sorry! And too to Donald & Marcel close behind, and the subsequent knock on effects down field. Sorry chaps. I hit the ESC key as soon as I got out of order but the damage was done. DNF.
Once again I'm sorry for those whose race I messed up.

Alcohol consumption can lower blood sugar levels to the point of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), causing significant symptoms. A person with diabetes should keep careful track of his or her blood sugar levels when drinking alcohol, because certain diabetes medications, including insulin, also lower blood glucose levels. If blood glucose levels are too low, or if the stomach is empty, alcohol consumption should be avoided.
The symptoms for alcohol intoxication and hypoglycemia are similar. Symptoms may include fatigue, disorientation, and dizziness. To ensure proper medical care for hypoglycemia, a person with diabetes should carry a card, wear an identification bracelet, or wear a necklace indicating that he or she has diabetes.
Alcohol sometimes can also cause blood glucose levels to rise, due to the carbohydrates in certain drinks. Consuming alcohol while eating, or right before eating, can cause blood sugar levels to rise, which may be dangerous to the individual. People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar closely before and after drinking alcohol.
If you want to drink alcohol, check with your health care provider to see if it is safe for you. Your doctor or dietitian can also explain how to fit alcohol into your diet plan. In addition to the above concerns, alcohol interacts with a number of medications. If you already drink, it is important to be honest about the frequency and amount of your alcohol use when talking to your health care provider.

Supreme Court Declines Prop 8, DOMA Cases For Now
Jim Burroway
September 25th, 2012
The U.S. Supreme Court has issued its Orders List (PDF: 136KB/10 pages) following yesterday's conference session in which it was scheduled to consider whether to hear four LGBT-related cases. Today's Order list indicates that the Supreme Court has agreed to accept six pending case, but the appeal of Hollingsworth v. Perry — the new name for Perry v. Brown, which itself was previously Perry v. Schwarzenegger, challenging the constitutionality of California's Proposition 8 — was not on the list.
It's not clear yet though that this means that the Prop 8 case was rejected by the court. We won't learn that until next Monday, when the Supreme Court will issue a list of cases it has decided not to hear this term. If Hollingsworth v. Perry is on that list, then the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals' decision striking down Proposition 8 as unconstitutional will stand and California's same-sex couples will have their marriage rights restored. But if Hollingsworth v. Perry is not on that list, then it means that the Supreme Court is still weighing whether to accept the case. It takes four justices to agree on hearing a case before it is accepted by the court.
The court also held off accepting the appeal of Windsor v. USA, which challenges the constitutionality of Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act. This case was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behal of Edie Windsor, who is required to pay $363,000 in federal estate taxes following the death of her legally-wedded wife in 2007. If she had been in an opposite-sex marriage, her estate tax bill would have been zero. Four other DOMA challenges are making their way through the Appeals courts, and the U.S. Department of Justice has asked the Supreme Court to hear three of those cases along with Windsor for a more comprehensive look at DOMA's constitutionality.
The court has also, so far, declined to accept two other LGBT-related cases. In Diaz v. Brewer, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decided that Arizona's Republican Gov. Jan Brewer cannot withdraw domestic parner benefits from state employees without violating the Constitution's Equal Protection clause. And in National Organization for Marriage v. McKee, NOM is again trying to get the Supreme Court's attention in its efforts to circumvent Maine's finance disclosure laws. The Supreme Court refused to hear an earlier challenge from NOM in February.
Memorial And Rally? Very Well: A Memorial and Rally
Jim Burroway
January 13th, 2011
The memorial was nothing short of magnificent, and it was exactly what this city needed. It was, at turns, somber and celebratory. Tucsonans have been in a severely depressed funk, dazed and stunned that something like this could happen here.
I hear some small–minded grumbling that the event was somehow too "raucous" or a "rally." Well you know what? A rally is just what we needed. Those who sit in judgment in their comfortable offices and studios on the coasts tut-tutting last night's memorial haven't had to drive by the still-closed Safeway every morning and every evening to and from work. They haven't been within a thousand miles of the nightly vigils at UMC and at Gabrielle Giffords's congressional office. They haven't turned on television to see their own neighbors grieving in wall-to-wall coverage. They haven't picked up their local newspapers to read the dozens of stories about the tragedy and then turn the page, thinking perhaps that they were finished with those heartbreaking stories, only to be confronted by the same familiar names and photos in the obituaries. They haven't made plans to attend some of the funerals which begin today. They won't pull over to the side of the road as the funeral processions pass on the way to the cemetery. They haven't seen their beloved town turned into something unrecognizable. When they have experienced all of this, maybe then they can legitimately criticize our desire last night to tentatively shake off our sack cloths and wash away the ashes, if only for a moment. But not until then.
Tucsonans have undergone a stunned mourning for five solid days now. It's about time we also celebrate, and yes, cheer, our community's coming together and move toward the future. It is time to rally our wounded community, and to resolve to build a better, kinder, and more civilized world.
When tragedies like this strike, we expect the President to come grieve among the people. And yet, Tucsonans appeared genuinely surprised and touched when the President announced he was coming here. I had wanted to take a half-day off work and get in line for the memorial, but when I got up yesterday morning I learned that a long line had already formed the night before. By noon it was already clear that there was no way anyone who wasn't already there would get into the McKale Center. So my partner and I saw it on television at home. I don't know how the major networks carried the event. We chose to watch it on local TV, which simply carried the live feed and ditched the voiceovers, pundits and real-time crawls.
I thought Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's address was splendid. She was kind, wonderfully gracious, and very generous. The blessing at the beginning was touching, given by someone whose ancestry in Tchuk Shoon predates the arrival of "Americans" and reminds us of the timelessness of this valley that has drawn so many to the Old Pueblo, as we like to call our city. We celebrated our heros who ran toward the gunfire, and we learned for the first time that Gabby Giffords had opened her eyes. And with that, it is my hope that President Barack Obama's exceptional speech opens all of our eyes, so that we, too, can build a society worthy of Christina Taylor-Green's spirit.

Among the first policy changes pushed by Arizona's legislature as soon as Republican Janet Brewer succeeded Janet Napolitano (D) as governor was to pass House Bill 2013, which changed the definition of "dependent" to specifically exclude domestic partners and adopted children of gay individuals, effectively ending insurance coverage for the families of gay state employees. This move came despite denials from Arizona's Prop 102 promoters that they would seek to remove domestic partner benefits if the amendment banning same-sex marriage was added to the constitution. Prop 102 was approved by Arizona voters in 2008.
This week, U.S. District Judge John Sedwick granted a temporary injunction against the state of Arizona from implementing the new law:
"Because employees involved in same-sex partnerships do not have the same right to marry as their heterosexual counterparts, Section O has the effect of completely barring lesbians and gays from receiving family benefits," Sedwick wrote. "Consequently, the spousal limitation in Section O burdens state employees with same-sex domestic partners more than state employees with opposite-sex domestic partners."
Sedwick dismissed the state's argument that exempting gay employees would make the benefits program "much easier to administer" and that "scarce funds for employee benefits are better spent on employees and dependents as defined in the new statute."
Gov. Brewer claims that the state cannot afford to provide domestic partner benefits. But the annual cost of domestic partner benefits make up only about $3 million, or less than one-half of one percent of the $625 million spent on benefits for all employees. The elimination of domestic partner benefits would affect more straight families than gay. Gay and lesbian couples are believed to comprise a small fraction of the 893 domestic partners who have signed up with the state. The injunction against the elimination of domestic partner benefits applies only to families of gay- and lesbian-led employees because, as Judge Sedwick noted, heterosexual couples have the option of marrying.
Arizona Cancels Health Care For Thousands

September 8th, 2009
It was just last year when proponents of Prop 102, Arizona's constitutional ban on same-sex marriage promised — pretty please promised — that unlike their earlier unsuccessful effort in 2006, this time they learned their lesson and have no intention of going after domestic partnership benefits in order to get the gays fully discriminated in the state constitution. Crossed their heart and hoped to die, in fact.
Well Arizona's new budget is in, and it proves the lie. Gov. Jan Brewer (R) has signed the budget bill that strips health insurance from the families of approximately 800 Arizona state employees, along with other domestic partnership benefits. Now how's that for pro-family politics?
AZ Legislature Moves To Strip Domestic Partner Benefits
Jim Burroway
June 6th, 2009
Here's a story that goes to show that marriage opponents will lie, cheat and steal to have their way.
Last summer, Arizona lawmakers broke Senate rules in order to place an anti-marriage amendment on the 2008 ballot. At the time, they said that Prop 102 would not endanger domestic partnerships, and that all they wanted to do was "define marriage" in the state constitution. Marriage opponents went on to make this a key centerpiece on their Prop 102 campaign, that they had no interest in denying anyone's domestic partnership benefits.
Well now we know that was yet another bold-faced lie:
State lawmakers are moving to strip the domestic partners of state and university employees of the health insurance coverage they gained just a year ago.
A provision in the state budget would legally define "dependents" of state employees who are entitled to coverage as a spouse or a child younger than 19 — or younger than 23 if a full-time student. Changing the law would override regulations adopted last year that added domestic partners and their children to the list.
The state Department of Administration says about 750 workers who have signed up for the benefits would be affected.
The measure passed the House last night and is now on the governor's desk. Gov. Jan Brewer (R), who became governor when Janet Napolitano (D) became Homeland Security secretary for the Obama administration, was on record in 2006 for opposing domestic partner benefits for state employees.
Equality Arizona is urging state residents to call Governor\'s office (602-542-4331 or toll free at 1-800-253-0883) or email the Governor here.
AZ Ballot Will Describe Prop 102 With Legally Accurate Language
Jim Burroway
August 27th, 2008
A headline like that should be a given, but — this being Arizona — one cannot always take such things for granted.
Thanks to a deal between Secretary of State Jan Brewer and Attorney General Terry Goddard, the November ballot describing Prop 102, Arizona's latest anti-marriage amendment, will remind voters that Arizona law already bans same-sex marriage. This clarification is especially important this year with all the attention being given to California, where same-sex marriage is currently available. Not only is there intense national attention on California, but a large portion of Arizonans live in California media markets.
Similar language was placed on the ballot for a previous anti-marriage amendment in 2006. That amendment was defeated by nearly 3.6%, making Arizona the only state in the union to have turned back an attempt to further ban same-sex marriage in the constitution.
Prop 102 supporters have filed suit against Brewer and Goddard, demanding that any reference to state law be stripped from the ballot descriptions. The lawsuit, however, may be too late. The final go-ahead was given Tuesday night to start printing the publicity pamphlets, which will be sent to the home of every registered voter. The pamphlets, like the ballots themselves, will have the agreed-upon description.
Arizona has had a law banning same-sex marriage since 1996. That law also bans recognizing same-sex marriages conducted in other states. On October 8, 2003, a three-judge panel of the Arizona Court of Appeals unanimously upheld the Arizona Defense of Marriage law against a challenge brought by two men who were denied a marriage license by a court clerk. The Arizona Supreme Court refused to consider an appeal on May 25, 2004.
Supporters of Prop 102 have out-fundraised opponents by more than 150:1. Please support our campaign to defeat Prop 102 again.

Science from a Distance
Rome, James A., The World and I
The technology for conducting collaborative research between geographically dispersed team members is getting better, but it isn't yet really "like being there."
At the Ford Research Laboratory in Dearborn, Michigan, Chaitanya Narula is trying to find new catalysts to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from diesel engine exhausts. His strategy is to take the best catalyst, platinum; form it into minute clusters; and attach these uniformly to support particles (in this case, titanium dioxide). Ford's facilities can be used for making and joining the clusters and their support particles, but not for characterizing their individual sizes and pattern of joining. Yet the individual sizes and joining pattern are of critical importance to turning Narula's concept into a viable commercial product.
Fortunately for Narula's research, Ford has entered an agreement that permits its researchers to gain remote access to advanced microscopes at three national laboratories and a major research university, which are joined in the DOE2000 Materials Microcharacterization Collaboratory (MMC). Narula could therefore send the sample to the High Temperature Materials Laboratory at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, to be examined on one of its world-class electron microscopes.
From his office in Michigan, Narula used his personal computer (PC) to connect to the Oak Ridge microscope and examined the sample while the ORNL microscopy experts gave advice. Both the platinum clusters at 2-5 nanometers (2-5 millionths of a millimeter) and the titanium dioxide particles at 20-50 nanometers (nm) were too big, and the platinum wasn't distributed uniformly. So it was back to the drawing board.
Narula tried a different processing technique and sent a new sample to ORNL within a week. With high expectations, the Ford and ORNL researchers examined the new samples together across the Internet. In the new sample, the platinum clusters were only 0.5-1 nm in diameter and were uniformly distributed on titanium dioxide particles that were 5-10 nm in diameter. But were the clusters attached to the particles really platinum?
The sample was sent to Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), another member of the MMC. With the help of the Advanced Analytical Electron Microscope (AAEM) at ANL and a three-way telepresence session, researchers confirmed that the particles were indeed platinum.
Everbody's doing it-but differently
At the Microscopy and Microanalysis annual meeting in Atlanta in July, thousands of microscopists gathered to share their research results. Among the many meetings, one was an allday session on telepresence microscopy--a session in which more than a dozen sites, ranging from the five MMC sites to Cambridge University in England and Osaka University in Japan, made their microscopes available across the Internet.
At least one microscope manufacturer already provides support to its users by operating its microscopes remotely across the Internet. Other manufacturers are rapidly enabling full remote operations for their machines as well.
Many instruments are used for remote education in addition to remote research. Schools with out microscopes, for example, can train students in their use at a distance. If the screen of a microscope's controlling computer is projected, a whole class can observe an image from a microscope at once. Electron microscopy is now even being introduced to students at the elementary and middle school levels.
At the conference, I was struck by the fact that almost all of the remote microscopy approaches are done in a different manner. If everyone were doing it the same way, telepresence microscopy would be a done deal. In his talk, John Hunt of Gatan Inc. said, "Remote instrumentation is a very young field. We aren't sure what we want yet." In the past year, at least three manufacturers have changed their approach to remote control as a result of interactions with the MMC. …

NOTE: Where the 2013 requirements for a programme differ from those previously published, care will be taken to ensure existing students are not disadvantaged.
Computer networks are a fundamental infrastructure in a modern society. The uses and importance of computer networks continues to increase. These networks include the Internet and the many private networks, such as those operated by banks, government agencies and large retail organisations. While all computing graduates need a basic understanding of computer networks, the networks specialisation prepares students to take a major role in this dynamic and growing area. Students will gain an understanding of how computers communicate at a physical and logical level, the strengths and weaknesses of different communications protocols, the technologies underlying the Internet and the trends and future of computer networks. The specialisation includes both practical and theoretical aspects of computer networks.
We list the Networks requirements in the form of a "degree planner". Where semesters are shown they refer to the 2013 schedule.
† BCMS regulation 8 requires 50 points from subjects in the field other than the major including at least 20 points above 100 Level. STAT121 will help satisfy these requirements and is strongly recommended in its own right. It also helps students keep their options open for changing to another major with the Faculty if desired.
* For the honours programme, the two 200 level papers in year 3 must be replaced by an additional two 300 level papers, and year 4 requirements are COMP520 Report of an Investigation (45 points) plus five COMP5XX papers (15 points each). Permission may be given to include up to 30 points at 500 level from outside Computer Science.
Elective papers may be replaced by papers at a higher level.
Admission to Honours Programme
To be eligible for honours candidates will require an average of B+ in at least 80 points at 300 level in Computer Science papers. This does not apply to double major students, who will be treated separately.

RexAnna reduced to ashes
OK, there was a side event at the bonfire, weighted with symbolic significance.
A quick recap (we keep getting new readers who have to be brought up to speed):
Two groups of basketball fans, the Sexy Rexies and Rowdy Rex's were left bereft when Runaway Rex bolted for the Bay. They had a bunch of worthless shirts and pent-up hostility, and then, like a bolt from the blue, comes word of the bonfire.
Well, these groups quickly put two and two together, while also putting together RexAnna, which was a mannequin, complete with thong, and defaced Rowdy Rex's shirt, and decided to add all of the above to the conflagration.
With Crash Taylor, a blog regular, in charge of the pile of wood, there was no problem Thursday in placing said items in the pile.
OK, meanwhile, Howard Bobble Head Doll, my wingman and talisman, had been woken from his hibernation by the words "Brooke Hogan," Soon he was using Google images and ogling the potential FAU coed.
So HBHD hitched a ride in my bag to the bonfire, where he desperately wanted to meet Brooke, who had certain attributes favored by HBHD, as long-time readers of this blog are familiar with due to his adventures in Nawlins.
Anyway, I enlisted the fan formerly known as john and currently known as Dirty #2, who will do just about anything. Dirty did hesitate for a moment, but then he had his time with Brooke, wearing his Avery Holley No. 1 jersey. (I checked with the WR coach, and Holley is on the team, so stand down worried fans)..
With that out of the way, it was time to burn up the last vestiges of T-Rex.
Here you go. A couple vids of RexAnna being engulfed in the ring of fire. Burn, baby, burn.

Firefighters quickly extinguished a porch fire in Pueblo Thursday afternoon.
The fire started around 3 p.m. on the 1700 block of East 6th St. Quick response by firefighters kept the flames from ever spreading to the house.
According to officials, two people were at home when the fire started. One glanced out the window and saw flames on the back porch.
Firefighters pulled the back porch away from the rest of the house to extinguish it. The "all clear" was given at 3:40 p.m.
At this time, there is no word on a cause.

Book Reviews
Book Description
The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book:
There is, perhaps, nothing in London life so remarkable as its combination of epicurean and sedentary habits. Its diseases, as remarkably, are precisely those which should arsie from such causes; namely, affections of the abd6minal vipcera. These diseases, however, do not in general arise immediately from the habits now mentioned, but chiefly from such habits at once overloading and rendering torpid the intestinal canal, or producing constipation. Constipation may, accordingly, be reckoned the parent of metropolitan disease. It abounds in every district, in every age, and in every profession; and its consequences tend, perhaps, more than those of any jer affection, to embitter life, and render it buxj dotne, for it is not only in its evident effects tk qmust regard it in dyspepsia, affections VWet, diaTrhoea, dysentery.

Art, take no notice of that youngster, FG. I was at junior school when the King died. We all had to assemble in the hall and the Headmaster gave us the news. I was so nervous, don't know why, that I giggled. How awful. Got caught too. Wicked girl.
Sunday mornings eating boiled eggs with Lions on..Radio on and :
Three wheels on my Wagon, These Boots were made for walking, Hole in the ground..you're digging it round etc..Windmill in old Amsterdam..mouse with cloggs on etc.... Puff the magic Dragon lived by the sea...and I wonder why I'm daft.
It's ok KEF - we already knew you were...
FG, yes I'm ancient, but I can still dance and that's all that's important.
Morning all forecast great for today but it's pretty dull outside hope they have not got it wrong as i want to paint my planter at the front door tonight. KEF being daft is a sign of a genius i keep telling my family so don't worry. art keep dancing keeps you young at heart and fit can't beat a good old knees up as they say. FG only 27 you don't look a day older than 21 used to say that to my father his answer would be you should see me first thing in the morning feel and look like 81 lol off to work now have a good day all.
Morning all. Wet again today, but no chomping on the hostas so I'm pleased. Tomorrow is supposed to be the best day so I'd better go shopping today and do the inside jobs.
Andy that's me.
Hope it's good weather where you are.
Morning all,dull again at the moment but at least its dry.Step duaghter and her new partner arrive today,staying until Saturday,the forecast looks promising for Friday/Saturday so hopefully we can get out in the garden.
Age is only a number.my mother-in-law who dies last year at 104 insisted she was only 21 on each birthday.My favourite memory of her is when receiving her 100th card from the Queen shook the envelope,turned it upside down and said "where is the cheque?"
My Grandfather on the other hand who was 103 when he dies,insisted when he was 102 that he was 200
Morning everybody
Its set to be a scorcher today. Feels so much warmer
Seasons are so short...still bit plantIng, etc yet gooseberries almost ready, picking plenty of rhubarb, and eating my own lettuce.
Busy this morn but still outside
Enjoy the day folks
Morning all.
Gilly that's great. Did she not get a cheque...I'm not bothering to try and get to 100 then.
Andy one of my daughter's friends stayed recently and they discussed the age of some actor they liked. Daughter said 'oh he's only a year younger than my Mum' to which friend replied 'Really! I thought your mum was only 40 something!'
Had a smile on my face for a while....but she's never seen me first thing inthe morning..
Dull here again but hopefully will stay dry today when I get home.
Another day off for me! Looks pretty miserable but got some GH jobs planned. Thanks to Verdun I have the best looking cosmos plants I have ever grown! They have been mercilessly pinched out and endlessly potted on, and now look like the ones on sale in the GC (the ones that have been forced in a Dutch hothouse somewhere!). I also know which are red and which are white (didn't label the pots and then mixed them up) by the colour of the stems - another piece of forum advice.
oh, how I love this site
I want some of Verdun's weather please. Not this cold and damp stuff
Think it's coming here tomorrow
Morning all glorious sun in ireland this morning, yesterday wasn't bad either. spoilt by getting kicked of the river blackwater after being told I could fish there by the head man. Though to be honest its a club water with an exclusive membership, apparently you can't get in even if your living 5 miles away. Still went up to the awbeg river at a little spot I've found and caught a couple of fish there. Apparently its a question of insurance, I guess they don't know about public liability insurance which is a requirement for any business... Wonder if they have any control when it comes to boats might have to get mine out Still think i'll repot a few tomato plants this morning i've around 40 in 3 inchpots.
Cold and wet here; my list of things to do in the garden is getting longer and longer, but Friday the sun will shine...won't it? So it's housework today
Housework on the listhere. has to be done sometime
Getting close to doing housework as well. It has been raining in Sheffield for 3 days solid and Im starting to feel a bit miserable.
Morning. Wet, wet, wet. Housework, no, no, no.
Just returned to BT as son wanted their Infinity package. Why do they make their bills so complicated - well, for me they are. Will have to call and get them to explain it. At least it's an 0800 number and won't be a call centre - I hope.
Best shift and get some breakfast. Granddaughter here and wants toast, which I will have to do. Blooming nuisance.
Have a good day all, despite the weather. I see Verdun has sunshine. Lucky you.

The Quad-City Times' management, most especially the disgraced editors, get to evaluate whether their decision to smear local appraiser Mark Nelson was worth what it has cost them -- the last vestige of credibility they had in the community as reliable news providers. In what it tried to pass as a news story in its print edition on Tuesday, March 3, the Times disparaged Nelson with myriad unsubstantiated claims about an alleged cover letter he sent with an appraisal that discouraged Royal Banks of Missouri from approving a loan to Amy and Amrit Gill of Restoration St. Louis for the redevelopment of the Blackhawk Hotel as a boutique hotel.

Editor's note: This letter was submitted in response to the article "Blackhawk Hotel project threatened by critical report," by Tory Brecht.
An open letter to Quad-City Times readers and fellow Lee Enterprises shareholders.
Tory, I read your article with some degree of skepticism this morning. On March 10, Lee Enterprises, the owner of this newspaper, has their annual shareholder meeting; in the past year their stock has tumbled from almost $20 per share to 24 cents at the low. (38 cents as I write this.) I am not only a subscriber but a shareholder. Apparently the newspaper industry and now you have been oblivious to the traction radio commentator Rush Limbaugh has gotten with his "Drive-by Media" characterization. It is sticking no matter how you folks in the media protest. And it is sticking because you allow your personal opinions and the opinions of the editors to creep into your reporting. The only thing you folks have to offer is credibility, and unfortunately your piece in today's "noospaper," as Bill Wundrum frequently refers, does little to lend credibility to this newspaper or you as a reporter.

Edmond girls learn about Victorian teas
EDMOND — Young girls, many dressed in Victorian-style clothing, hats and gloves, gathered at the Edmond Historical Society and Museum to learn the manners of an afternoon tea.
The 48 girls, ages 7 to 12, learned the importance of tea time in the 1800s from living history performers Christy Adel and Carol Anderson.
Girls enjoyed polite conversation, authentic tea and food, live chamber music and fresh flowers.
This was the first tea the historical society has hosted for young girls. Society officials said they may plan additional teas in the future.

In case of Syrian citizen Imad Al Husin, known as Abu Hamza, European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg determined that under current circumstances there are no conditions for his deportation to Syria, due to the potential threat that he would be subjected to torture and inhumane treatment.
Imad Al Husin will remain in next period at Immigration Center in Istočno Sarajevo pursuant to Decision on expulsion, and placing under surveillance.
It is also expected the instituting procedure for finding third , safe country where this Syrian citizen could be deported, who is declared a threat for national security of B&H.
In case of Fadhil Al Hamdani, whom the security structure of B&H declared a threat for national security of our country, it is established that there are no impediments for his deportation to Iraq.His claims about possible exposure to inhumane treatment are dismissed as unfounded, and it is referred the fact that in postwar period he resided two times in the region of that country, and that he obtained duly Iraqi passport in 2007 in Vienna.
European Court for Human Rights determined the violation of Convention on Human Rights in period from their placement under surveillance at Immigration Centre until making decision on their expulsion.
It is established lack of coordination of the Law on Movement and Stay of Aliens in B&H with Convention on Human Rights by this, because the above mentioned law offers possibility to Service for Foreigners' Affairs that even prior of making decison on expulsion, the measure of placing under surveillance is assigned to foreign citizen, which is not pursuant to Convention on Human Rights.
It is worth to emphasize that in drafting of the Law on Movement and Stay of Aliens in B&H had been participated besides local experts, and experts of OHR and European Commission.
European Court for Human Rights determined that there are no violation of Convention on Human Rights in both cases upon the date of making decision on expulsion of those two foreign citizens.All applicant's complaints that are related to the period upon the decision on deportation are dismissed as unfounded.

SPORTS ACADEMY GYMNASTICS: Sparkler Team Handbook
Get A Grip on Your Rip!
Get A Grip on you Rip!
Rips are a common, though painful occurrence in the sport of gymnastics. Everyone gets them from the beginner to the elite level performer. For the novice gymnast, rips normally occur because the gymnast's grip on the bar is too tight through fear or lack of familiarity with the skill. Advanced gymnasts usually rip because they allow an excess of callous to develop on their hands. A rip is a separation of the upper layers of skin in the palm of the hand from lower layers of blood rich tissue. An excessively tight grip or callous buildup allows the skin to bunch up as you are swinging around the bar.
Before You Rip
After every workout wash your hands with soap and water, then rub hand lotion into the front and back of your hands. Prevent excess callous from building up by rubbing the affected areas with a pumice stone. To find the areas of excess callous, soak the hands in water for about ten minutes and you will be able to notice areas on the palm that retain a whitish color while the rest of the skin stays pink. Use the pumice stone only as necessary. Excessive use will cause the hands to be constantly sore during workouts. Rub hand lotion into your hands at night before going to sleep and, if necessary, when you get up in the morning. Always keep your hands moist.
When You First Rip
Remove the excess skin carefully. A sterilized pair of nail clippers (to prevent infection) should work nicely, then wash with soap and water. Don't put hand lotion on a fresh rip. Martin advises that you cover the rip with some "over-the-counter" antibiotic ointment rather than Vaseline so the injured area has a chance to breathe. Some pharmacies carry products called "Second Skin" or "NuSkin" that comes in patch or liquid form and may be placed directly over the rip.
Before going to sleep at night, put some antibiotic ointment on the rip and cover your hand with a sock or glove with the fingers cut out to keep the ointment off the sheets and out of your eyes. This treatment should continue until the rip is covered with new skin.
After You Have Ripped
Once new skin has covered the rip, continue using hand lotion as described above. If the rip is allowed to dry up, the skin will crack and you will continue to rip in the same spot. Sometimes rubbing Chapstick over a drying rip can also prevent cracking. If you must workout again, after ripping do not cover the rip with the sticky side of the tape. Instead lay a small piece of tape sticky-side up over the rip so it comes in contact with the tape you are using to protect your hand. On nights when you have particularly hard workouts on bars and your hands are hot and throbbing it is a good idea to soak them in cool water or hold ice cubes in your hands until they melt. This will help the inflamed tissues to cool off. Just before a competition you can deaden the pain of a rip by keeping an ice pack on it, or soaking the hands in a slush bath of ice water for ten minutes. This will help keep your concentration on the routine instead of the pain of the rip.

ELKHART — December is the busiest time of the year for mail carriers, with millions of packages shipped from online companies, family and friends throughout the country.
Mary Dando, an Indiana USPS spokeswoman, said this year 545 million pieces of mail will be processed each day during the holiday season nationwide, of which 420 million will be packages. That's not counting other mail carrier services, such as UPS and FedEx.
With a growing popularity of online shopping and the continued tradition of gift sending during the holidays, consumers are at risk of becoming a victim of anything from online shopping scams or porch pirating.
According to a press release from the Michiana Crime Stoppers, the term "porch pirates" is given to people who steal packages left by carriers on door steps. Sometimes, porch pirates will follow delivery trucks to target their victims.
Michiana Crime Stoppers shared a few tips to help protect property:
Insure valuable packages.
Whenever possible, stipulate delivery upon signature only or schedule delivery for when you're likely to be home.
Some delivery services will allow you to designate a discreet delivery location on your property.
Utilize delivery text alerts and quickly notify a trusted neighbor to retrieve the package.
Have the package delivered to a friend or neighbor who is more likely to be home, or leave a note on your door requesting delivery to a neighbor.
If your employer allows it, have your package delivered to your workplace.
Pick up your package at the delivery facility.
Install a lock box for parcels.
Michiana Crime Stoppers also has tips for those who have become a victim of theft:
Tell the merchant or your credit card company in case they have a recovery police.
Installing a surveillance video camera may not prevent a theft, but it could help police solve your crime.
Help your neighbors and yourself by being watchful.
Contact police about any suspicious people or behavior.
Capt. Jim Bradberry, public information officer with the Elkhart County Sheriff's Department, said victims of theft can file a report online or call the sheriff's department to talk with an officer.
"But I think that's important," he said. "If somebody is going around stealing packages, we would like to know about that activity so that we can warn everybody else in the neighborhood."
Anyone with information about thefts or other crimes in their neighborhoods are encouraged to call their local law enforcement agency or Michiana Crime Stoppers at 800-342-STOP or 574-288-STOP.
Many online shopping scams are the same as in the past, but the activity increases this time of the year, according to a press release from the FBI. Here are some tips to avoid becoming a victim of "cyber fraud":
Do not respond to unsolicited (spam) email.
Do not click on links contained within an unsolicited email.
Be cautious of emails claiming to contain pictures in attached files; the files may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders. Scan the attachments for viruses if possible.
Avoid filling out forms contained in email messages that ask for personal information.
Always compare the link in the email to the link you are actually directed to and determine if they match and lead you to a legitimate site.
Log on directly to the official website for the business identified in the email instead of "linking" to it from an unsolicited email. If the email appears to be from your bank, credit card issuer or other company you deal with frequently, your statements or official correspondence from the business will provide the proper contact information.
Contact the actual business that supposedly sent the email to verify the email is genuine.
If you are requested to act quickly or there is an emergency that requires your attention, it may be a scam. Fraudsters create a sense of urgency to get you to act quickly.
Remember if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

Eight years after Anthony Hamlin's battered body was discovered in a field in Ledyard, his family members have planned a vigil in the downtown New London area where he was last seen in an effort to help revive the police investigation into his death.
Hamlin's family and friends will gather on the Parade Plaza at the intersection of Bank and State streets at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The purpose of the event, which is expected to last about an hour, is to call attention to the unsolved homicide. The public is welcome.
"Everything is just a bit too quiet," said Hamlin's mother, Darlene Hamlin of Groton. "We want to shake the bushes a little bit. We want some closure on this, and we want those who committed this gruesome and heartbreaking crime to be prosecuted."
The 40-year-old Hamlin, a member of the Eastern Pequot Tribe and a father of five, was last seen in the area of Union Station in downtown New London on the night of Jan. 27, 2006. He had accepted a job as a surveyor's assistant in Hampton, Va., and told family members he was planning to catch a southbound train at 11 p.m. He talked to his sister, Casandra Rookwood, on the phone that evening, telling her he was going to pick up a sandwich at Subway, which is around the corner from the train station at 2 Bank St., before catching the train.
Hamlin's body was discovered in a field off Shewville Road in Ledyard about 8:30 a.m. the next morning. He died from blunt trauma to the head, and his killer or killers left him face down and naked in a former horse pasture.
Darlene Hamlin said she has kept in touch with the state police detectives who are investigating her son's death, including Ryan Luther, the case officer from the Eastern District Major Crime Squad. Two years ago, the state offered a reward of $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for Hamlin's death. Hamlin said she would like to see the reward amount increased and more resources devoted to the investigation of her son's death.
New London State's Attorney Michael L. Regan said the investigation remains active. At his request, the coordinator of the New London County/Southeastern Connecticut Cold Case Task Force met recently with members of the state police to discuss the Hamlin case. The task force draws officers from several local police agencies to take a fresh look at unsolved homicide cases.
"We're talking about how the regional resources can be helpful," said Inspector Kenneth Edwards Jr. from the Office of the Chief State's Attorney, who was recently assigned to coordinate the cold case group.
Darlene Hamlin said she is hoping and praying this is the year the case will be resolved. As a spiritual woman, she said she believes there are signs that something is about to happen and that Anthony has visited her and other family members in dreams.
"Every day I'm anticipating the phone to ring or a knock on the door," she said.
This past Saturday, with the support of family members, Hamlin visited the exact spot where her son's body was found, something she never had the strength to do before now. She has participated, at times, in the Survivors of Homicide support group, and has fought to maintain her dignity and composure in the face of the tragedy.
"I've come a long way," she said. "But you're not going to kill anybody, especially someone who was well-loved, and think that this is all forgotten. We are not just going to go on with our lives."
Had he survived, Anthony Hamlin would have become a grandfather for the first time this past fall, when his oldest daughter, Bethany, gave birth to a boy, Blayze.
Hamlin's cousin, Kalia Griffin, said during a recent phone interview that she believes "somebody saw more than they are saying" the night Hamlin was killed. Those people need to come forward, she said.
"We need to let whoever is involved in this know we are united and we have not forgotten," Griffin said.
She said Hamlin told her, in a dream, that the family needs to make a stand.
"He says, Kee, you need to rally the family, put it back out there, because the time is coming," Griffin said during a recent interview.
Anyone with information about Hamlin's death is asked to call state police at (860) 848-6500 or the New London State's Attorney's Office at (860) 443-2835.

Wainwright gets first victory as Cardinals beat Pirates
Tuesday, May 1, 2012
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Adam Wainwright worked seven solid innings for his first win since September 2010, and the St. Louis Cardinals got big nights Tuesday at the plate from David Freese and Matt Holliday to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-7.
Freese's sixth home run and third in five games was a tiebreaking, three-run shot off Charlie Morton (1-2) in the fifth. Holliday homered in the sixth off Jared Hughes to cap a three-hit night with two RBI.
Allen Craig had two hits and an RBI in his season debut after rehabbing from knee surgery performed last fall shortly after he belted three homers in the World Series. Rafael Furcal had two hits, including his first homer — a two-run shot off Tony Watson in the seventh that made it 10-4.
Wainwright (1-3) was hurt only by the long ball in his fifth start of the season, allowing five hits but giving up two-run homers to Jose Tabata in the third and Pedro Alvarez in the seventh. The right-hander totaled 39 wins from 2009-10 but missed last season following reconstructive elbow surgery, and became the last member of the rotation to get a win this year.
His previous victory was his 20th of the 2010 season.
In his first four starts, the Cardinals didn't score while Wainwright was in the game. This time, he left with a 7-4 cushion. Wainwright's ERA remains unsightly at 6.75, the highest at any point during his career as a starter, but he's made strides the last two outings, with the Cubs getting one run in six innings April 24.
The Pirates topped five runs, their season best for the first 21 games, for the second straight night after beating Atlanta 9-3 on Monday. But they committed four errors, matching their season worst April 20 also against the Cardinals in a 4-1 loss, leading to four unearned runs.
Tabata ended a 140-at-bat homer drought dating to Aug. 17, 2011, against the Cardinals' Kyle Lohse. Alvarez was the first Pirates player to reach double figures in RBI with his sixth homer and a run-scoring single giving him 12 on the year. Garret Jones has 10 RBI after an RBI single off Fernando Salas in the eighth cut the deficit to three.
Jason Motte worked the ninth for his fourth save in five chances.
Plate umpire C.B. Buckner left the game due to illness during a pitching change with one out in the bottom of the seventh and a crew of three finished the game, with second base ump Dan Iassogna moving behind the plate. Buckner briefly went to the St. Louis clubhouse for attention during a break between innings before calling it a night.
Morton was the toughest pitcher to homer against in the majors last season, allowing just six in 1712⁄3 innings, with five by left-handed hitters. Freese's sixth of the season was the second in 211⁄3 innings this year, both by right-handed hitters. Ramon Hernandez of Colorado connected in Morton's previous start.
Wainwright has allowed six homers in 262⁄3 innings, twice as many as anyone else in the rotation. In 2010, he permitted 15 homers in 2301⁄3 innings.
Notes: Lance Lynn (4-0, 1.33 ERA), off to a great start as the stand-in for injured ace Chris Carpenter, opposes A.J. Burnett (1-1, 1.38) in the second game of the three-game series tonight. ... Slow-footed Cardinals C Yadier Molina is 4-for-4 in steals. He caught Morton so unaware in the fourth there was no throw and was on the front end of a double steal in the seventh that prompted a wild throw from catcher Rod Barajas, allowing a run to score. ... Jon Jay and Molina each had two hits, and both have nine hits in the first four games of a six-game homestand.

While it got some early buzz at Cannes last year and ended up being the official French entry for the forthcoming Oscars (it didn't make the cut), that's pretty much where the admiration ended for Xavier Beauvois' religious drama "Of Gods and Men." At least on his side of the ocean.
In its native France, "Of Gods and Men" leads the pack at their version of the Oscars, the Césars. It has 11 nominations, landing in pretty much every category including Best Picture and Best Director, and it's easy to see why. Based on a true story and set in Maghreb in the 1990s, the film focuses on the co-existence between a Christian monastery and the adjacent local village that is challenged by an influx of fundamentalist Muslims in the region. And yeah, the film makes broad strokes to make the modern day parallels clear. We saw the film at Cannes and called it "a stoic, stonefaced, reverential tale about the sacrifices of faith and the extreme tests of tolerance" that was marred by glacial pace and self-righteous air.
The film opens on February 25th. Check out the synopsis and trailer below (or in HD at Apple).
Eight French Christian monks live in harmony with their Muslim brothers in a monastery perched in the mountains of North Africa in the 1990s. When a crew of foreign workers is massacred by an Islamic fundamentalist group, fear sweeps though the region. The army offers them protection, but the monks refuse. Should they leave? Despite the growing menace in their midst, they slowly realize that they have no choice but to stay... come what may. This film is loosely based on the life of the Cistercian monks of Tibhirine in Algeria, from 1993 until their kidnapping in 1996.
