Are there any free systems for deploying new applications across a Windows network?
e.g. if I wanted to automatically install Silverlight to every PC?
(Assuming a Windows network of about 150 machines)

If you have a Windows domain you should read up on using Group Policy to install software. Having said that, though, if the software isn't packaged in Windows Installer (MSI) format this becomes significantly harder. Using Group Policy Startup Scripts to perform silent installations of non-MSI-based packages is certainly possible, but you need some scripting skills to pull that off.
You might also have a look at wpkg. It sounds right up the alley of what you're looking for. There's a pretty strong community around it, and you can usually find "recipes" written by others for common installation needs (example: http://wpkg.org/Microsoft%5FSilverlight).
Personally, I go the route of Group Policy, either using MSI-based installs or custom Startup Scripts, but I've played around with wpkg and like what I see with it, too.
I highly recommend WPKG. From official site:
There are already many existing silent installers available (including Microsoft Silverlight) and writing custom packages is pretty easy.
PS: Update Windows Script on Windows 2000/XP computers if needed, and (CRITICAL) test your packages well on all platforms (XP,2k,Vista,7) before you do massive deployments - VirtualBox can be one tool for this.
PS1: Some testimonials from satisfied users.
PS2: WPKG can also do:
Assuming you have AD, why not GPOs or Windows Deployment Services? Those are both included in the Server 2003/2008 software.
We use WPKG (wpkg.org) -- an open-source deployment/upgrade/removal program for Windows. Cheers
I haven't had much luck finding free ways to deploy general software. Windows components like Silverlight can be installed via WSUS server, which is free (And disk/memory intensive, in my opinion) and integrates with Active Directory to keep your systems up to date. It acts as a kind of local mirror for Windows Updates.
I have run into several "quirks" with it not necessarily upgrading your clients in a timely manner and I think the interface for getting accurate and up-to-date update information absolutely sucks, but it does help with bandwidth and keeping systems in your Windows network relatively up to date. And it's free from Microsoft.

By Auto
Travel by a private automobile will be reimbursed based on the lowest one-way commercial airfare or mileage based on the government rate, up to $250 one way, whichever is lower. Transportation expenses will be reimbursed on the basis of the most direct route. Safety is our first concern, and we do NOT encourage you to drive long distances without breaks. In past years, interns from the same general location have met at a central location and driven convoy style to Colorado.
Q: Do I need to arrange my own travel?
A: No. You will notify the financial manager about your travel dates. The financial manager will arrange and prepay for the specific flights/train/bus and reimbursement for mileage (according to DOE Travel Guidelines).
Q: Can I incorporate additional travel plans into my paid expenses to or from NREL?
A: No. Some interns have done sightseeing on their way to Colorado, but NREL will only reimburse expenses for travel on the basis of the most direct route to Golden, and then the most direct route home. Safety is our first concern, and we do NOT encourage you to drive long distances without breaks. In past years interns from the same general location have met at a central location and driven to Colorado convoy style.
Q: Where will I live?
A: NREL does not have on-site housing. You will most likely conduct research at the main campus in Golden, but you may be at the National Wind Technology Center near Boulder. NREL provides housing information and intern contact information, but you are responsible to make your own housing arrangements. Housing options include apartments in the Denver, Golden, Lakewood, and Boulder areas. Housing can be expensive, so you may want to consider rooming with other interns to reduce your living expenses.
College Credit and Tuition
Q: Can I receive undergraduate credit for my internship?
A: Yes, but you will need to check with your university or college to see if your research experience qualifies for college credit. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) can provide documentation if your university or college provides this option.
Q: Does the program pay any tuition costs I might incur while participating if I am taking this for college credit?
A: No. Tuition and fees incurred during your Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) appointment are not reimbursable.
Q: Am I eligible to apply if I am a college freshman?
A: No. You must have completed at least 1 year as a matriculated student at the time of application. That is, you must have been enrolled for at least 1 year as a matriculated undergraduate student at the time of applying. Undergraduate course credits obtained before enrollment cannot be substituted.
Q: I'm enrolled in my first year as an undergraduate student, but because of undergraduate courses and AP credits before enrolling, my university has me listed as a sophomore. Am I eligible to apply?
A: No. You must have completed at least 1 year as a matriculated student at the time of application. That is, you must have been enrolled for at least 1 year as a matriculated undergraduate student in a degree program at the time of applying. Undergraduate course credits obtained before enrollment cannot be substituted.
Q: Do I have to have health insurance coverage when I apply, or can I wait until I'm selected to buy it?
A: No. You do not have to have health insurance at the time of applying, but you must have health insurance to begin your appointment.
Q: I have an undergraduate grade point average (GPA) of 2.95. Am I eligible?
A: Yes. To be eligible to apply you must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0. Considering significant figures, a GPA of 2.95 rounds up to a 3.0 GPA. Your GPA must be verifiable on your undergraduate transcripts.
Q: I have an undergraduate GPA of 2.93. Am I eligible?
A: No. To be eligible to apply you must have a minimum cumulative undergraduate GPA of 3.0. Considering significant figures, a GPA of 2.93 rounds to a 2.9 GPA.
Q: This program states that it provides opportunities to undergraduate students. If I graduate before the internship term for which I am applying, am I eligible to participate?
A: Yes. The SULI program is for undergraduates. However, if you are graduating or a recent graduate, you are eligible to apply as a graduating senior if you meet the following two conditions: (1) you have not yet started a program of graduate study and you will not matriculate as a graduate student before completing your SULI term; and (2) the time period between receiving your undergraduate degree and starting your SULI term is less than 1 year. Consider the following example: If you graduated in May 2014 you would not be eligible to apply to the 2015 summer SULI term.
Q: I'm an undergraduate student, but I won't be 18 years old for another year. If this program is for undergraduate students, can I participate?
A: No. Eighteen is the minimum age for participation regardless of education level.
Q: Can I participate if I am graduating in May/June of the current year?
A: Yes. A limited number of placements can be made to graduating seniors. You are eligible to apply to the internship up to 1 year after graduating from an undergraduate institution. Be sure to complete the section for graduating seniors on the SULI application.
Q: When is the application deadline?
A: Visit the DOE website listing of key dates for current application deadlines.
Q: Can I transfer my previous recommendations to my new application?
A: No. Letters of recommendations cannot be transferred from previous applications or from applications created on the previous system. The recommendation letter form has changed. Visit your status page to request new recommendation forms for your recommenders.
Q: Can I reuse my essay responses from my previous application for my new application?
A: No, the essay questions have changed in the new application so you will need to write new essay responses.
Q: Do I have to click on the "Submit Application" button to complete my part of the online application before asking my recommenders to submit their recommendations online?
A: No. You can request your recommenders as soon as you begin the application by submitting the names and contact emails in the recommender section of the application. Automated emails will be sent to your recommenders with the information about how to submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf. You are responsible for ensuring that recommenders submit their recommendations online before the application deadline.
Q: I have already submitted my application but realize I made a mistake. Is there any way I can fix this?
A: No. Once you click on the "Submit Application" button to submit your application you cannot change the application content. You can still update your personal contact information and change recommenders or send reminders to recommenders.
Q: Do my recommendation letters need to be submitted by the application deadline?
A: Yes. The two required letters of recommendation must be submitted electronically by the application deadline. Recommenders must submit their letters through the online form; letters in any other form will not be accepted.
Q: Can letters of recommendation be sent by email?
A: No, recommenders must use the website form process. A URL unique to your application will be sent to the individuals you selected to submit recommendations on your behalf. Each person writing a recommendation for you will complete the online recommendation form and submit it electronically. This is the only way to ensure that your recommendations are properly linked with your application.
Q: Who should I ask to write my letters of recommendation?
A: You should request letters of recommendation from individuals who are familiar with your academic achievements and your academic or professional accomplishments. College faculty members who teach science, technology, engineering, or mathematics courses are the best references, but you may also use former high school teachers, lab assistants, teaching assistants, or employers (especially if they are in a research setting). Family members are not recommended unless you have had a formal working relationship with them.
Q: Can I delete a recommendation and replace it with another?
A: No. You cannot delete a recommendation once the online system has received it. You may request up to three recommendations for your application, but the first two that are completed in the system will be included with your application for review.
Q: Am I required to submit transcripts?
A: Yes. You are required to provide transcripts for every college or university you have attended that is listed on the DOE SULI application. You must upload a PDF copy of all undergraduate official and unofficial transcripts to the online application system. This new requirement began with the summer 2012 term. See the information on submitting transcripts on the How to Apply page.
Q: Can I submit unofficial transcripts?
A: Yes. Two forms of unofficial transcripts are acceptable to submit with your completed application:
An official transcript that the university or college registrar has signed and sent to you in a sealed envelope that you have opened (and thus is unofficial). You must black out your Social Security number and date of birth and scan it before you upload it into the application system.
An unofficial transcript that your college or university provides to you electronically, via either a website or email and is marked "unofficial."
PDF copies of transcripts uploaded into the system must be clearly legible, must be labeled with your name and the name of the university or college, must clearly show all courses and course grades and cumulative GPA, and must have your Social Security number and date of birth blacked out.
Transcripts that do not clearly identify your name and institution or are not legible will be considered invalid.
Q: I've scanned my official transcripts, but the electronic scan has a VOID watermark all over it. Is this a valid transcript to submit with my application?
A: Yes. If it is a scan of your official transcript, is legible, and it clearly shows your name, undergraduate institution, and GPA/grade information, it is a valid transcript.
Q: Can I contact scientists at the laboratories I've chosen? Is this advisable?
A: Yes. As you explore NREL's website, you may identify scientists, programs, or divisions you would like to contact. The more you know about a laboratory, the better chance you have of making a laboratory choice appropriate to your interests and skills.
However, potential research advisors are NOT authorized to offer you an appointment. If you are selected you must receive an official letter from the DOE Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) online application system. This notification will be followed by an official offer letter from NREL. You must have these two items before your offer is official.
Q: Will you let me know if I am missing parts of my application?
A: Yes. The online application system will highlight the required elements of the application that have not been completed. You will not be able to submit your final application until you provide all the required elements.
Q: If I have previously participated in the SULI program, am I allowed to reapply?
A: Yes. If you have already participated in SULI once before, you are eligible to apply and participate one more time.
Q: I am a permanent resident of the United States. Am I required to provide documentation?
A: Yes. If you are accepted into the program, you will be required to provide a copy of your permanent resident status during badging.
Q: How does the selection process work?
A: To be considered, you must meet all eligibility criteria and have submitted an application comprising all required materials. Before the merit assessment and evaluation, DOE conducts an initial review of all applications to verify your eligibility and ensure you have provided all the required application materials. If you are eligible, your application will be released to NREL. Research staff will select applicants whose skills, knowledge, and research interests best align with the research projects available to interns for the pending SULI term.
Q: How are applications judged?
A: Your application will be assessed based on your performance in completed academic coursework, especially coursework in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM); strength of recommendation letters; expressed scientific interests; and your background, experience, accomplishments, and interests as they relate to NREL's research programs.
Q: Why am I asked if I have participated in any other DOE programs? Does answering yes to this question help or hurt my chances of being selected?
A: Your response to this question will not affect the selection process for your application. DOE collects this for internal information purposes only to gauge whether applicants know about or have participated in other DOE programs. SULI participants may have a maximum of two internships.
Q: What are my chances of being selected?
A: The chances of being selected depend on many factors: the total number of applications submitted, the number of applications requesting the same first- and second-choice laboratory placements, the number of available internship opportunities at each laboratory, and the availability of funds. These factors vary each year, so it is not possible to determine your chance of being selected for any given application cycle.
Q: Is this program only for natural science, engineering, mathematics, or computer science majors?
A: No. The SULI program focuses on providing STEM research internships that relevant to and supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) research and development programs. You are not required to major in these areas, but applicants who demonstrate education, aptitude, and interest in these fields will be most competitive.
Q: When and how will I find out if I've been selected?
A: DOE will send you an email if you are selected. The status page of your application account will also indicate that you have been selected for an internship. This will be followed by an email from NREL's Workforce Development and Education Programs Office with a more detailed offer package, including an appointment letter and other documents explaining the details of your appointment. This letter will be sent after all the interns have been selected at NREL, not when you receive the DOE notification email.
Please make sure the email address on your account is current. The date the offer period begins is provided on the Key Dates page. Check your status page frequently, because you will have only 10 calendar days to accept an offer once it has been made. You will receive only one offer during the application cycle. If you do not accept the offer, you will not receive another. NREL research advisors are not authorized to make appointment offers to you directly. Official notification must come first from DOE and then from NREL's Workforce Development and Education Programs Office.
Q: If I decline an offer from my first-choice laboratory, will I be considered by the second-choice laboratory?
A: No. You will not be extended another offer if you decline an offer.
Q: If I am not selected this time, will my application be reviewed again next year automatically?
A: No. You must reapply.
Q: If I request a certain field of study, am I guaranteed to be placed in it if I am accepted into the program?
A: No. NREL tries to match, to the extent possible, your research interests with available research projects and research advisors, but this is not always possible. Keep in mind that research advisors read the applications carefully and look for students who they think would benefit from being in their lab.
Q: What is the funding source for this program?
A: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science provides the funding for the SULI program.
Q: How do I properly acknowledge Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) support in publications or presentations?
A: To help maintain the accountability and accuracy of its federally mandated assessment and reporting functions, WDTS requires funded work to appropriately acknowledge its support in the presentations and publications resulting from its funding. When acknowledging WDTS support, please use the following statement:
"This work was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) under the Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI) program."
Q: Why is DOE involved in workforce development and education?
A: For more than 60 years, DOE has supported the education and training of scientists, engineers, and technology specialists to maintain the scientific and technical workforce needed to address DOE's and nation's complex challenges in energy, national security, the environment, and discovery science.
For more information about internship opportunities at NREL, contact the Workforce Development and Education Programs staff.

The tragic death of luger Nodar Kumaritashvili at the Vancouver Olympics tolls a solemn bell at the start of the Sochi Olympics.
As the men's luge practice runs began Friday in Sochi, many returning Olympians are sure to remember this horrific incident – forever etched within their psyche.
Four years ago, on the eve of the Olympic Games, the rising 21-year-old from Georgia careened out of the final hairpin turn at the dangerous Whistler track during a practice run. Ejected from his sled, he flew off the course and into an unprotected, tall metal post. Medics rushed to the scene, only to find his motionless body crumbled at the base. Despite valiant attempts to resuscitate him, he was transported to the emergency medical clinic where he was pronounced dead of blunt force injuries to the head, just one hour later.
IOC President Jacques Rogge, who paid respect to Kumaritashvili in the Opening Ceremonies, later stated in a final IOC Report issued on the Vancouver Olympics, "Of course my memories of the Vancouver Games will always be tainted by the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili, and the violent end to his tragic dream. Everything must be done to avoid a repetition of such a dramatic accident."
The British Columbia Coroner's Office soon conducted its investigation by studying: past track design drawings, speed test results, track planning correspondence among the above organizations, and even the young Kumaritashvili's own readiness to compete.
Within this sterile, matter-of-fact Coroner's Report, it described his last moments: "The collision was a result of an interaction of factors including high speed, technical challenges and exacting physical forces with the associated physiological stresses, which converged at a critical moment, overwhelming the athlete and causing the irretrievable loss of control of the sled."
While cautious not to point blame in its official report released on September 16, 2010, the coroner recommended that precautions be taken at future world class events:
- "It is recommended that current practices for… track design and construction consider incorporating additional measures [such as] independent, safety-oriented audits of track design and construction, and the placement and configuration of crash barriers and other safety features."
- "It is recommended that the FIL require more compulsory, venue-specific training immediately before major competitions such as the Olympic Games for less experienced, less trained or less skilled athletes."'
In sum, it concluded, "However, as much as the athletes accept that risk exists in their sport, the organizers, regulatory bodies and venue owners must ensure that no effort is spared to anticipate the unforeseeable as far as safety is concerned, and do everything possible to mitigate the risk."
Since this report's release, lessons have been learned – by the IOC, International Luge Federation, the Sochi Organizing Committee, and even the daredevil athletes themselves who recognize that they don' t need to chase speed to succeed.
Sometimes it takes a death to jar these organizations to their senses. Courses were soon changed while specially considering the vulnerability of inexperienced athletes.
For the Sochi Olympics, construction of the Sanki Sliding Center track began in 2010. And right from the start, this 1800 meter course was built with safety in mind such that average speed maxes out at 85mph, compared to Vancouver's 95mph. Further, these builders added three uphill gradients designed to control speed, the only track of its kind with these ultra-safe features.
"I like the track a lot...I think it's unlikely that there will be a lot of falls," said Russia's Luge Coach Valery Silakovin a RIA Novosti article.
Further, these international officials offered many opportunities for the lugers to get used to this unique course. Through participation in practice sessions, test events and a FIL World Cup competition during the last two years, hundreds of athletes have trekked to this Rosa Khutor venue at least three times to race down this course in dozens of runs.
Germany's Andi Langenhan, among the world's elite, said, "In general, the track is great, it's not that fast but safe."

It's not clear here whether dad TOMMY JAMES WHITE JR. had court-ordered visitation or not, but it really doesn't matter. If it wasn't court-ordered, he easily could have made it court-ordered if Mom didn't "cooperate"--even though he has a history of domestic violence. As we know, fathers with a history of DV tend to have the abusive personalities that insist on their "rights" so they are usually successful in getting their way.
So no surprise here really. Within 30 minutes of his visitation with the baby, this POS gets "frustrated" and kills a newborn. No better than a freaking animal, really. .
Garland man accused of killing baby had 'hangover'
by REBECCA LOPEZ and Associated Press reports
WFAA and Associated Press reports
Posted on February 19, 2013 at 7:38 AM
GARLAND, Texas -— A Garland man is facing murder charges in the death of his five-week-old daughter, who was critically injured while home alone with him.
Tommy James White Jr., 20, is charged with capital murder of a person under six years of age in the death of his daughter, Spencer Claire White.
"We believe the baby was crying, and that's why the injuries occurred," said Garland police spokesman Joe Harn.
According to court documents obtained by News 8, White told police the baby was crying, so he picked her up and placed his hand around the back of her neck and squeezed her too tight. He told investigators he was frustrated because he had a hangover and a severe headache.
Spencer Claire White was alone with her father Friday morning for about 30 minutes while the child's mother and her stepfather left to buy a new pacifier. Police said the girl wasn't breathing when the relatives returned.
The infant was transported to Children's Medical Center Dallas and died Friday night. Doctors said the girl suffered multiple injuries.
Last summer, White was arrested for allegedly assaulting another family member in the same home.
Bond was set at $1 million for White, who was being held Monday in the Dallas County Jail. No information was immediately available on an attorney.

In youth-obsessed Hollywood, where the dearth of good roles for women over 28 is a constant lament, it's a ballsy move to admit your age at all—let alone revel in it. But Curtis is seeking something bigger than her next acting job. She wants to feel at peace with her flaws, her genes. "Demystifying has been a real goal for me," she says. "For myself, as well as on a public level."
To be sure, her acting career has slowed down. Last year, she got good reviews for her role in The Tailor of Panama, with Pierce Brosnan; she also appears in Billy Bob Thornton's Daddy and Them, set for release next year. Since then, however, she's been absent from the big screen, save for a cameo in this summer's Halloween: Resurrection, the series' eighth installment. In this film, her character is finally killed off—a plot point that seems to fill Curtis with relief. "Laurie Strode is dead," she says happily. "And I never have to be in another sequel again."
The timing couldn't be better. As the Scream Queen exits, the Self-Esteem Queen is poised for her entrance. And Curtis has chosen this magazine as the place to reveal herself. Literally.
"I'm trying really hard to take the veil off the fraud, to be real, to start with me," she tells me over lunch the day before she will pose in her skivvies. We are in the dining room of the sunny, comfortable four-bedroom Spanish-style home that the actress shares with her husband, satirist and film director Christopher Guest, and their two children. It is, Curtis points out, a house that she and Guest bought with their own money. Contrary to what many people assume, she's never received financial support from her famous family.
"In the recovery program I'm in [for addiction problems], they talk about peeling an onion, exposing more layers," she says. The myth of the perfect Jamie is, she confides, something she "actively participated in—and, by the way, profited from. Now, I'm sitting here high on my hill, debunking the very foundation that I sit on. Don't think I'm not afraid of it. I'm not financially independent enough that I don't rely on outside income still."
"But it's just money. It isn't love," she continues, observing that not one of the many close girlfriends who make up her "Estrogen Posse" works in the movie industry. "That's what I have to remember," she explains. "I don't have any dear friends from the movie business. It's my job. I do it well, I worked hard, I made some money, I saved some money. You know, I didn't let it go to my head. I knew that it was going to have an end point."
This is not the first time that Curtis' work has led her to make changes in her life. In 1999, after writing her third book, Today I Feel Silly & Other Moods That Make My Day, it occurred to her that, even as she was urging kids to pay attention to their feelings, she had difficulty expressing her own. The result: She quit drinking and ended a lengthy addiction to painkillers that she said began when she was recovering from plastic surgery. Yes, that's right: Curtis is a veteran of the nip-and-tuck.
"I've done it all," she says, breaking yet another unwritten Hollywood rule: Never fess up. "I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo. I've had a little Botox. And you know what? None of it works. None of it."
Curtis leans forward in her chair. "Ten years ago, before anybody did that, I had fat taken from underneath my eyes because I was on a movie and I was puffy," she says. "And I remember the cameraman saying, 'I can't shoot her now.' I remember being mortified. And yet, you know what? Nobody tells you if you take fat from your body in one place, it comes back in another place. All of these 'bettering' experiences are not without risk. And there is this illusion that once you do it, then you'll be fine. And that's just horseshit. I looked worse. Worse. Am I right?"

College football's four-team playoff can't get here soon enough.
This year's rotation of BCS bowl games includes No. 12 Florida State, No. 15 Northern Illinois, No. 21 Louisville and five-loss Wisconsin, which isn't even rated in the final BCS standings.
A "Christmas Vacation" marathon probably never seemed so inviting during the holidays.
The Jan. 7 Discover BCS National Championship Game between No. 1 Notre Dame and No. 2 Alabama will probably end up being one of the most watched games in college football history because of the storied programs involved.
And the Jan. 3 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl between No. 4 Oregon and No. 5 Kansas State also might include plenty of fireworks.
As for the rest of the BCS bowl games? I'd rather watch Chevy Chase and Cousin Eddie over and over again.
It's a shame the sport's powerbrokers couldn't put a four-team playoff into place this season, instead of one that starts after the 2014 season. Who wouldn't want to watch two national semifinals between Notre Dame against Oregon and Alabama against Florida, with the winners then meeting in a national championship game?
Of course, we won't get to see those games and we'll also have to watch four top-10 teams (No. 7 Georgia, No. 8 LSU, No. 9 Texas A&M and No. 10 South Carolina) play in non-BCS bowls because the current BCS system precludes one conference from having more than two teams in BCS bowl games.
"I think it's ridiculous," said Alabama coach Nick Saban, shortly after the Crimson Tide defeated Georgia 32-28 in the SEC championship game on Saturday night. "I watch teams playing that are 7-5 that are talking about how they might go to a BCS game because they won their championship? Something's not right here.
"I thought the BCS bowl games were supposed to get the best teams in the game. So now it's all about the conferences sharing the money. But I still think they can share the money however they want. It's not a financial decision. It's a player decision and reinforcing the players in a positive way for the great season they had. Florida should go to the BCS game, too. If you only lost one game in this league, you should be in a BCS game. If you got in [the SEC championship] game, you should be in a BCS game."
The BCS system was already an unmitigated mess, and it was even further muddled on Sunday when Northern Illinois finished No. 15 in the final BCS standings -- and, just as importantly, was ranked ahead of a champion from one of the six automatic-qualifier conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, Pac-12 and SEC). Big East champion Louisville finished six spots behind the Huskies.
I'm not criticizing Northern Illinois for having a spectacular 12-1 season. The Huskies haven't lost since falling to Iowa 18-17 at Chicago's Soldier Field in their Sept. 1 opener. Quarterback Jordan Lynch is one of the most underrated players in the country; he passed for 2,962 yards with 24 touchdowns and ran for 1,771 yards with 19 scores this season.
But Northern Illinois defeated 2-9 Army 41-40 and needed two overtimes to defeat Kent State 44-37 in Friday night's MAC championship game in Detroit. The Huskies won't even have their coach as they prepare to play FSU in Miami; Dave Doeren was named NC State's new coach on Saturday.
You can partially blame Nebraska and UCLA for Northern Illinois' inclusion into the Orange Bowl. Wisconsin walloped the Cornhuskers 70-31 in the Big Ten championship game in Indianapolis on Saturday night, causing them to fall from No. 12 to No. 16 in the BCS standings. UCLA lost to Stanford twice in six days, including a 27-24 defeat in Friday night's Pac-12 championship game. The Bruins fell from No. 16 to No. 17 in the BCS standings, and the Huskies moved up six spots from No. 21.
Who didn't want to see Big 12 runner-up Oklahoma against Florida in the Sugar Bowl?
The good news: We'll have to endure only one more year of the current BCS system.
Like Cousin Eddie once famously said of the Jelly of the Month Club, the BCS is the gift that keeps on giving throughout the entire year.

Leveraged buyouts: The LBO craze flourishes amid warnings of disaster By: Thackray, John Published on: February 1986 When Euromoney first pointed out the dangers of the leveraged buyout (April 1984) the fashion was new and exciting. Too exciting, declared Paul Volcker, who subdued the general enthusiasm for a time. But the fashion came back, with complications explained in full for the first time here. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus By John Thackray If denunciations could have put a stop to leveraged buyouts, there would be none today. In the summer of 1984 the LBO was a target for virulent criticism by Paul Volcker, chairman of the Fed, by John Shad, chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, by Felix Rohatyn, senior panner of Lazard Freres, and by Barry Sullivan, chairman of First Chicago. The gist of all the denunciations was that top-heavy reversed pyramids of debt were being created; and they would soon come crashing down, destroying assets and jobs. All this had some effect - for a time. "In the spring of 1984 there were lots of banks looking for deals. In the summer it went to zero," a major player in the LBO market recalled. Ralph McDonald Jr., an, executive vice president with Bankers Trust, said: "There were tremors in the banking community, and good deals got tougher to do because of this.' "There is still insecurity in the LBO industry, because there is still a lot of public criticism," said Carl Ferenbach of Thomas H. Lee. However, there has been a spectacular rise in the number and scale of LBOs. This highly geared form of financing is probably here to stay. Because there is a huge number of private business sales richly financed with debt, comprehensive statistics on LBO activity nationwide are impossible to find. But the growth of public deals has been astonishing, and these* numbers tell us much about the rising impact of formally organized and professionally managed institutional LBO monies. According to data provided by Merrill Lynch Capital Markets, in the eleven and a half months to mid-December 1985 a record $31.5 billion of LBOs were completed; double the volume of a year earlier and three times that of 1983. "In the late 1970s nobody knew what an LBO was. I mean nobody at the big investment banks - not just the cocktail party crowd," said Theodore Forstmann, partner in Forstmann Little. "It used to be just a few people buying companies selectively. I never thought it would be the size of today, - said Ira Hechler, a private investor who did dozens of deals alongside Oppenheimer and Company in the 1970s. "Just a few years ago this used to be a mom-and-pop industry. Now we've grown to be a highly examined and well-publicized activity," observed Joseph Rice, managing partner of Clayton and Dubilier. For all this publicity, there is still little understanding of this diverse market. There are purely tax-driven LBOs, junk-bond driven ones and those dependent on employee stock ownership programmes (ESOPs). There are bust-up LBOs (that is, the company's assets are sold off to finance the acquisition) and those designed for longterm appreciation. There's leverage predicted on cash flows, or on fixed-asset values and, increasingly, on sanguine growth forecasts. There is a new genre, the hostile LBO, and there are both fiduciary and principal investors. "There are many segments and cross-currents in the market," said Forstmann. "Seven or eight years ago it was a very simple business and everybody worked along roughly the same lines. But now it is difficult to figure out who is doing what, and, often, to make sense of what's happening." There are three sectors of the market: senior bank debt, mezzanine subordinated debt and - the hardest of all to raise equity. Who's who in each category? In bank debt, Manufacturers Hanover Trust is clearly the front runner - although its lead has shrunk in the last year. Bankers Trust is also important, and has a close relationship with Kohlberg, Kravia, Roberts and Company (KKR). Citicorp, once strictly an asset-based lender, has aggressively expanded into the mainstream of cash flow lending. Morgan Guaranty is smaller. But it has a strong appetite for transactions where it not only lends the senior debt, but gets a fair slice of the mezzanine and equity also. "Most banks like an equity kicker. But we don't always get it. Morgan says it always requires one, but I suspect that's not true," said the head of a specialist LBO team at a rival bank. Chase and Chemical are at present episodic LBO lenders. So is First Chicago, notwithstanding the anti-LBO rhetoric of Sullivan. Its Chicago neighbour,Continental Illinois, is reported to be back in the marketplace in a small way. Security Pacific, Wells Fargo, Marine Midland, Bank of Boston, Bank of New York, Irving Trust, the Candian big four and some regional banks have all done deals. For commercial banks, LBOs represent one of the few areas of high-profit lending today. The agent on a bank syndicate can command fees of 1% of the transaction size, get around 0.75 % on the portion of the loan taken down, and frequently charge fees for hedging the LBO's floating-rate debt. "The flow of LBOs is created by lenders. They don't just support the market; they make it happen," claimed Robert E. Koe, president of Heller Financial, which, along with General Electric Credit and Citicorp, is a significant asset-based lender to the LBO trade.

It is a good idea to do a self esteem inventory to evaluate if you have self esteem issues within your personality traits or in some areas in your life.
Take it more as an overall self esteem assessment rather than a self esteem test. The idea here is to find out if you have a healthy self esteem in general or if you need to work in some areas of your life where you may not be as confident and successful as you would like.
You may then later take a self esteem test to pinpoint your level of self esteem more accuratly but for now, get an overview of where you are at. It is a bit like before doing a big house cleaning, you go through the whole house first to get a general idea and to see which room needs more attention.
So for a self esteem inventory, it is important to be honest, put the ego aside for a while (easier said than done but try your hardest) and take some distance to get a clear and objective view of yourself without any judgement.
Remember that the purpose of this self esteem inventory is to assess how you view yourself and how you react accordingly, not to see how good or bad you may be as a person.
This inventory consists of a series of statements. Read them out loud or even better, write them down. See if they sound true or false to you (or in between). Put a thought on each one, take your time, don't fly over this self esteem assessment too quickly and be honest, you have everything to gain from it.
I am happy with the way I look.
I know my body is not perfect but I accept it and honor it.
I am usually confident in the social arena.
I like the attention from people but do not have the need to trigger it.
I am comfortable to speak in public.
Work and achievements:
I see myself as successful.
I am content with what I have achieved.
I believe that I can succeed at any tasks or challenges that I set my mind on.
I am assertive, speak for myself and not afraid to ask for What I believe I deserve.
I think people enjoy my company.
I have healthy relationships based on trust and equality.
I understand and value the needs of others but do not forget about my own. I balance my needs with those of my partner and family.
I have no need to please others for the only sake of getting their attention, friendship or love.
Me, Myself and I:
I am happy with what I see in the mirror.
I can honestly say that I love myself.
I am worthy just for who I am. I do not need to earn my worthiness.
I can forgive myself when I fail or make mistakes.
When I do something wrong I restrain negative self-talk such as calling myself stupid, idiot, looser.
I am content with the level of my intelligence.
Overall, I respect and appreciate myself the way I am now, physically, intellectually and emotionally knowing that I can improve and will evolve and grow.
I believe this self esteem inventory can help you to evaluate and assess self esteem issues in any area of your life. You can also take self esteem tests from renowned psychologists to rate your level of self esteem.
Just remember that these self esteem tests are NOT an indication of your worth as a person.
However, since we always act accordingly to who we BELIEVE we are rather than who we TRULY are; being aware of our self beliefs and self esteem become crucial to our success and happiness.

- Can I find internships at a career fair?
- What should I bring with me to the fair?
- What should I wear?
- How can I find out which employers will be attending?
- How should I introduce myself to an employer?
- How long will it take me to go through the career fair?
- What if I am invited to interview?
- When do I follow up with employers?
Q: Why should I attend a career fair?
Career fairs offer an opportunity for you to meet with a wide variety of employers offering internship and job opportunities in one location. They are also a great place for you to practice your networking and professional communication skills - before an interview. You'll be able to get an idea of the different job opportunities across several industry areas as well. It is also a good idea to check out your competition while at the fair - hang back in line and listen to what other students are asking, what the employers are asking, and survey the room for how professionally attendees are dressed.While most employers only accept applications online, they often use career fairs as a way to assess candidates with regard to professional appearance, verbal communication skills, sense of purpose or career direction, and seriousness about employment with their company. If you really want to impress a recruiter, use the career fair as a way to follow up, letting them know that you have already submitted your application for a position with their company and wanted to personally meet a representative at the event. Follow through with the questions you have prepared.
Q: Can I find internships at a career fair?
Yes! Many employers attend career fairs to recruit for full-time positions AND internships. Some fairs are dedicated solely to internship opportunities. For instance, the Regional Internship Center collaborates with local universities to host internship fairs.
Q: What should I bring with me to the fair?
- Your student ID
- Research notes and questions you plan to ask each employer; pen/paper
- Copies of your resume (reviewed by Career Services of course!); one copy for each employer with whom you plan to speak, plus several extra copies for those employers you speak with unexpectedly. The resume should be printed on resume quality paper.
- A professional portfolio in which to carry your resumes and any company literature you receive at the event. (If at all possible, try to leave your backpack at the coat-check area, in your car, or with a friend during your time at the fair.)
- Print out a map of the event facility and highlight booth numbers for the employers you plan to visit. (Hard copy directories will not be available at this year's PSU Career Days, so if you'd like paper copies of directory information, you will need to locate the information on the event website and print it out before the fair.)
- A winning smile and positive attitude!
Q: What should I wear?
Ideally, you should wear a conservative, dark-colored, business suit to a career fair. If you do not own a business suit, men could wear dress pants, a dress shirt and tie, and a blazer or sport coat with dress shoes; women could wear a skirt (knee-length) or dress pants and a collared blouse with a blazer and dress shoes. Your outfit should be cleaned, pressed, and fit properly. Avoid excessive cologne, jewelery, or make-up.
Q: How can I find out which employers will be attending?
Visit the career fair website for a list of employers registered to attend. Continue to check the site for updated employer registration information. If the fair runs multiple days, be sure to note which date(s) the employer has registered to attend. Most sites will allow you to search for employers by name, keyword, industry area, or major.
Q: How should I introduce myself to an employer?
It is a good idea to create and practice a "30-second" pitch for employers. Introduce yourself by name, include your major/degree, and briefly let the employer know about your career interests, top skills, and internship, leadership, or other relevant experience. If you are unsure, try starting with this sample format and tailoring the introduction for yourself:
"Hello, my name is _____________ and I am in my senior year at Penn State majoring in Communications. My goal is to work in corporate communications where I can combine my skills and interests in writing, editing, and public relations. This past summer, I completed an exciting internship with XYZ Corporation where I assisted the marketing-communications department with a new initiative to ________. I also enjoy serving as the chief editor of our school's literary magazine and building my corporate experience through my part-time position with _______. Your company particularly interests me because _____________, and I am interested in learning more about ________.
Q: How long will it take me to go through the career fair?
That depends on how many employers you plan to visit and how long the lines are to see those employers. Career fairs are typically very large events attended by hundreds of people. Do not become overwhelmed - focus on your list of employers. You may want to prioritize your list - maybe create a "top 5" selection - in case you do not have time to visit with all of the companies. Very popular companies tend to have very long lines, so you may want to visit other employers on your list and come back to that line later.
Q: What if I am invited to interview?
Fantastic! Some employers do add students to their interview schedules during a career fair (typically this happens in high-need areas such as engineering/technical disciplines and high-priority federal jobs). If an employer invites you onto their interview schedule, you will need to officially apply for the position - typically through the company website, but you may want to ask the employer about their application process. Clarify with the employer the location for your interview.
(For Career Days events at University Park, your interview will most likely take place in the MBNA Career Services Center. If you are unable to travel back to University Park for the interview, simply indicate to the employer that you are attending Penn State University at the Greater Allegheny campus, near Pittsburgh. Ask if it would be possible to complete the interview via telephone, at a company office, the Greater Allegheny Career Services office, or other location near Pittsburgh, or if they would be willing to coordinate with your Career Services office to do a remote video interview via Adobe Connect or Polycom.)
Q: When do I follow up with employers?
Be sure to ask each recruiter for a business card so that you can send a thank-you letter within 24-48 hours of the event. Thank the recruiter for his/her time and the information provided during the event. Remind the recruiter of your school, major, and career intentions, and try to include a unique discussion point that might help the recruiter to remember your conversation. Candidates who take the time to follow up with a thank-you letter typically stand out for the recruiter.

Specialists say court decision could scare off international investors.
Alesco, whose tax-avoidance battle with Inland Revenue is seen as a test case for disputes involving more than $300 million, is trying to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Last month Alesco NZ lost another leg of its stoush with the IRD over whether a funding structure it used to buy two other companies was a tax avoidance arrangement.
In 2003 the Australian building products supplier used an arrangement known as "optional convertible notes" (OCNs) to advance $78 million to its New Zealand subsidiary for these purchases.
Between 2003 and 2008 Alesco NZ claimed deductions for amounts treated as interest liabilities on the notes, in accordance with a determination issued by the tax commissioner.
But the commissioner then denied Alesco the interest deductions and treated the funding structure as a tax-avoidance arrangement.
Alesco went to the High Court over the issue, but the IRD's position was upheld by Justice Paul Heath in 2011.
Alesco then took the case to the Court of Appeal, where it was dismissed in a unanimous decision by Justices Mark O'Regan, Rhys Harrison and Douglas White.
"There is only one available inference: Alesco NZ adopted the OCNs solely in pursuit of the goal of tax avoidance," the trio's decision said.
University of Auckland Business School senior lecturer in tax law Mark Keating called the Court of Appeal decision a "complete slam dunk for the IRD". Alesco was now seeking leave to appeal to the Supreme Court and its lawyer, Lindsay McKay, said an application was filed late on Thursday.
While the amount disputed with Alesco is about $8.6 million of tax, penalties and interest, the stoush is viewed as a test case for other avoidance battles with Inland Revenue.
The IRD has viewed the use of OCNs by other entities - including Qantas and Toll - as a tax avoidance arrangement and 16 companies have challenged its assessment.

Two Tribes, the Dutch game developer behind "Worms World Party" for the Nokia
N-Gage and
Capcom's "Toki Tori", today announces that it has commenced development on
"Garfield's A Tail
of Two Kitties" for the Nintendo DS portable videogame system. "Garfield's
A Tail of Two Kitties"
sees our favorite feline hunting for lasagna in this platform game for the
Nintendo DS.
"An important consideration for the game design of this game has been to
stay as true to the
Garfield movies as possible in both look and feel." says Collin van Ginkel,
Creative Director at Two
Tribes. "Both screens and the built-in microphone will be used to enhance
gameplay and to ensure a
fresh game experience."
"Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" is a platform game which uses 3D
graphics, while the gameplay will
be a combination of 2D and 3D elements. The game is designed for all
ages. "Our target audience is
people who know Garfield from the comics as well as a generally younger
audience that got
introduced to Garfield by the first movie." says Martijn Reuvers, Managing
Director at Two Tribes.
"This, combined with the wide appeal of the Nintendo DS, means we will
cater for both young and
old when creating this game. We therefore chose for an accessible game
design with hidden depth
for the more experienced players."
"Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" will be developed for Octagon Entertainment
and published by The
Game Factory. The release of "Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" for
the Nintendo DS will coincide with
the release of the second Garfield movie, which is scheduled to be released
this year.
More information about "Garfield's A Tail of Two Kitties" for the Nintendo
DS can be found at:
Two Tribes is a privately owned company focusing on the development

Filmmaker James Gunn has confirmed that Tyler Bates ("300," "Watchmen") has come aboard to compose the score for "Guardians of the Galaxy" at Marvel Studios. In fact, it sounds as if Bates has already finished major portions of his work. Gunn says:
"Unlike most films, Tyler writes huge chunks of the score first so that I can actually film to the music. During action scenes and huge dramatic moments we blare the score on set so that the cast, crew, and camera can move in harmony with the music. Music is often an afterthought in film, but never for us. And everything Tyler's done so far has been amazing!"
Meanwhile, Latino Review reports that Bradley Cooper has been offered the role of Rocket Raccoon in the superhero feature.
According to the report, Cooper has only been offered the part, he hasn't accepted or even begun negotiations as yet.
UPDATED: Cooper has now officially begun talks for the role.

If it's thrills and spills you are after then there is no better team to follow than Yeadon in the JCT600 Bradford League.
They tied with leaders Lightcliffe on Saturday and lost by by one wicket to Bowling Old Lane on Sunday.
Lightcliffe needed 15 runs from a dramatic final over to overhaul Yeadon's 174-8 with six wickets in hand.
Chris Taylor failed to score from spinner Damon Gormley's opening delivery but then hit a four and a six, followed by a single to complete his century from 123 balls.
When James Horne took two from the fifth delivery, the scores were level.
Horne was then caught by Nick Hudson trying to make the winning hit.
Taylor finished with 100 not out having hit two sixes and ten fours, and Yeadon – who had defeated Lightcliffe earlier in the season – had frustrated them again.
Yeadon will have been pleased with the form of their young batsmen Callum Goldthorp (52) and Ben Elvidge (35), who impressed again.
Bowling Old Lane's victory moved them into third. They bowled out Yeadon for 94, with Mubtada Akhtar (3-23) and Zubair Najeeb (3-27) exploiting the conditions.
Old Lane didn't find batting any easier, however, and needed 45 from Raqeeb Younis to squeeze home.
Gormley was again among the wickets, taking 4-13 and was supported by Mahmood Rasool (3-22).
On Saturday, Yeadon, who are sixth, are at home to new leaders Saltaire.

If and when we upgrade, I will be sure to call Jerry's team to help.
I would highly recommend using Jerry Pinkas.

And...I'm back.
But not for long I imagine.
There's all-sorts of things that I'd kind-of-maybe like to talk about. I've finished the first part of my second semester for one thing and I have a few projects to show for it, but nothing that I want to ah...show...just yet.
My first post after almost a month and I'm back to my old habit of putting things off? Fuck yeah.
I suppose the fact that I did eventually get round to writing this post is a good sign, or at least I'll pretend that it's one, so humour me as I dredge up old internet links that I think will amuse you...Like this!
Then there's the work these guys are doing:
You know what's cool? Apart from cyberpunk Paris? Knowing the places in those images. I dream of a game where I can wander through a virtual Paris and recognise the streets and landmarks, before I get into a giant-mecha-robot fight.
Don't you judge me.
And on the giant-mecha note; more Hawken:

Let's start of with something beautiful and great:
The only other thought I have is that at the moment, I really need to get off of playing Fallout: New Vegas, or my university assessments are going to go to hell...
I can't think of anything else...shit.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP)
A pair of teenagers was arrested Friday and accused of fatally shooting a 13-month-old baby in the face and wounding his mother during their morning stroll through a leafy, historic neighborhood in southeast Georgia.
Sherry West had just been to the post office a few blocks from her apartment Thursday morning and was pushing her son, Antonio, in his stroller as they walked past gnarled oak trees and blooming azaleas in the coastal city of Brunswick.
West said a tall, skinny teenager, accompanied by a smaller boy, asked her for money.
"He asked me for money and I said I didn't have it," she told The Associated Press Friday from her apartment, which was scattered with her son's toys and movies.
"When you have a baby, you spend all your money on babies. They're expensive. And he kept asking and I just said `I don't have it.' And he said,
Do you want me to kill your baby?' And I said,No, don't kill my baby!'"
Authorities said one of the teens fired four shots, grazing West's ear and striking her in the leg, before he walked around to the stroller and shot the baby in the face.
Seventeen-year-old De'Marquis Elkins is charged as an adult with first-degree murder, along with a 14-year-old who was not identified because he is a juvenile, Police Chief Tobe Green said. It wasn't immediately clear whether the boys had attorneys.
Police announced the arrest Friday afternoon after combing school records and canvassing neighborhoods searching for the pair. The chief said the motive of the "horrendous act" was still under investigation and the weapon had not been found.
"I feel glad that justice will be served," West said. "It's not something I'm going to live with very well. I'm just glad they caught him."
This was a black on white crime, Why doesn't the Vindy state that in their story,. If it was white on black crime that would have said the killers were white. Nothing but bias liberal reporting!!!!!!!
Should bring back public hangings in the center of town for these two filthy, disgusting, pitiful animals. A 17 and 14 year olds that should be squished into the ground like the filthy, slimy cockroaches they are. Disgusting filth.
Asked about the person who shot her son, Antonio, West stated: "I hate you and I don't forgive you.
"You killed an innocent human life," she said. "I hope you die for it."
And they should! Filthy trash.

Academic Excellence
While math and science skills are more crucial than ever, the nation faces a critical shortage of scientists, mathematicians and engineers. The secondary teachers needed to teach those subjects are just as hard to find. But UNT programs are helping to meet the need, and graduates are entering professions in the math and science fields at incredible rates.
Teach North Texas
UNT's Teach North Texas program already is chipping away at the critical teacher shortages in math, science and computer science with first-year enrollment numbers that exceeded five-year projections. The innovative program, already funded by the Greater Texas Foundation and the National Math and Science Initiative, has added support from the Texas Instruments Foundation to fund more master and mentor teachers to guide the students in their journey toward discipline-specific degrees with teaching certification. This spring, more than 145 students are expected to enroll in TNT classes, with the first highly qualified teachers completing their degrees in fall 2010. When fully implemented, TNT will prepare at least 60 teachers a year, adding to the impact that UNT teaching graduates — who stay in the classroom longer than most — already have in education.
UNT continually nurtures new talent through its Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, one of the nation's most unique programs for producing highly qualified researchers. More than 4,200 budding scientists, engineers, mathematicians and researchers have come through TAMS. In 2009, UNT was once again at the head of the pack, with TAMS students earning more Goldwater Scholarships than students from any other Texas university. TAMS graduates go on to universities such as MIT and Harvard and end up as NASA engineers and neuroscientists. About 45 UNT faculty mentors form a core group that is helping these students succeed, transforming an aptitude for math or science into research that improves the world.
Professional Science Master's Degrees
Jill Willi sought a professional science master's degree to augment her chemistry degree with business skills that will allow her to connect scientific discoveries to the marketplace. UNT's innovative program gives students skills that are in high demand as employers increasingly look for science-trained professionals who also possess business, project management, team building and communication skills. So far, UNT offers the degree in biotechnology, environmental science and industrial chemistry. The university also is working to develop a new PSM degree in cybersecurity.
UNT continues to be at the forefront of innovative teaching and now offers rigorous programs in 12 schools and colleges. Through the perseverance of faculty who embrace the most effective teaching methods to foster learning and creativity, UNT students are thriving in the classroom and beyond.
Undergraduate Research Fellow Megan Trotter helped Kevin Curran, assistant professor of English, with research for his edition of the Samuel Daniel play The Tragedy of Philotas.
Undergraduate Research Initiative
UNT has a long history of offering undergraduate research opportunities and recently launched its Undergraduate Research Initiative to offer more opportunities for undergraduates to get hands-on experience in an even broader range of fields. Featured programs include merchandising and hospitality management, composition studies, design, electrical engineering, English, political science, and marketing and logistics. The program already has provided English majors with the opportunity to conduct research at the Harry Ransom Center, a library and archive that houses 36 million literary manuscripts and 1 million rare books from the U.S. and Europe.
Teacher Preparation
Many new teachers leave the classroom for other professions within the first five years on the job. Tandra Tyler-Wood, associate professor of educational psychology, is leading a group of UNT researchers who want to change that. The group is studying and developing teaching methods for first-time teachers that will help keep more of them in the classroom. With funding from the National Science Foundation, the team of faculty from the College of Education and College of Information is evaluating simSchool, an online classroom simulator that allows budding teachers to run sample lessons and observe how each simulated pupil responds to different teaching methods. Already, the team has found that undergraduate students using simSchool have increased confidence and improved teaching skills.
Business Capstone
A UNT education is built on carefully planned programs to share knowledge with students and help them hone their critical thinking skills through capstone courses. One such course in the College of Business immerses students in strategy and hands-on experience by asking them to tackle management-level decisions that exist at real companies. Working in teams, students analyze problems and come up with solutions that will maximize performance and maintain unity across departments. To provide practice in collaboration, the instructors of the course pioneered the use of Wikis as a tool for managing knowledge and improving student learning.
World-renowned Music
UNT's One O'Clock Lab Band earned 2 Grammy nominations this year, bringing its total to six.
UNT's One O'Clock Lab Band now has six Grammy nominations among its list of accolades after earning two new nominations this year. The jazz studies program — the first of its kind in the nation — rose to international prominence under the direction of Leon Breeden, Professor Emeritus of music, who received an honorary doctorate in 2009. The band, which attended the 2010 Grammy Award ceremony during a California tour, also performed at the World Saxophone Congress in Bangkok, Thailand, in July. Students in most of the College of Music's world-class programs tour the globe and attract worldwide attention well before they graduate. The A Cappella Choir, led by faculty member Jerry McCoy, was part of the ninth Taipei International Choral Festival, while the Bancroft String Quartet of the Center for Chamber Music Studies performed 10 concerts at the Brahms Chamber Music Festival in Japan. UNT's music program would not be among the best in the world were it not for the caliber of its faculty. Professor Richard Croft, who performed the role of Gandhi in the opera Satyagraha in the Met premiere in 2007, sang Mozart arias for the re-opening of the Opéra Royal in the Château de Versailles in France and also performed at La Scala in 2009.
Derrick D'Souza, professor of management, works with a class of graduate students.
UNT continues to evolve so graduates have knowledge and experience that is in step with changing industries and new trends. Serving the educational needs of the entire community is a priority.
New Journalism School
With the elevation of UNT's journalism department to a now independent school, the Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism, UNT is further responding to industry by expanding its career paths. The journalism school teaches students how to communicate and tell stories relevant for society's needs — skills that are always in demand — and it arms them with knowledge of the latest practices to prepare them for an evolving industry. The school also has a strong reputation through its renowned Mayborn Literary Nonfiction Conference, which attracts giants in literary nonfiction such as three-time Nobel Prize nominee Joyce Carol Oates, Pulitzer Prize winner N. Scott Momaday and travel writer Paul Theroux. And the Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism continues to be the only nationally accredited professional journalism program in Texas.
Aviation Logistics
Beginning next fall, Texas students interested in a career in aviation will no longer have to look out of state for an affordable four-year degree. This year, UNT will become the first Texas public college or university to offer a bachelor of science in aviation logistics. The College of Business' program will provide a unique combination of aviation and logistics that will give UNT graduates a broad perspective so they may pursue career opportunities in all facets of the aviation industry.
New Engineering Programs
UNT's College of Engineering students study in a 500,000-square-foot research facility designed to foster collaboration and nurture new programs that emphasize the understanding of engineering and business. Hands-on research is a key component of the engineering programs, and that is giving students an edge in industry. In spring 2009, the Department of Engineering Technology launched the state's first graduate degree program in engineering systems, an emerging field that blends engineering with business know-how. Students in the program can choose concentrations in electrical systems, mechanical systems and — developed in collaboration with the College of Business — construction management and engineering management. All are fields with significant demand. The collaborative effort also includes a dual M.S. in engineering systems and an M.B.A.
Lifelong Learning
Learning is unlimited at UNT. The Center for Achievement and Lifelong Learning's new Emeritus College and Grandparents University draw students from every facet of the community. Aimed at individuals age 50 and older, the Emeritus College offers not-for-credit courses, lectures, field trips and travel opportunities conducted by emeritus faculty and other academic leaders. In summer 2009, UNT also unveiled its Grandparents University, a two-day summer camp that allows grandparents and their grandchildren to explore knowledge side-by-side.
Student Outreach
UNT's mariachi summer camp is more than a music program for Hispanic and underserved sixth- to 12th-graders. It's often the first taste of college the students get. The same is true for many of the more than 17,000 schoolchildren who come to campus each year on field trips to study environmental science at the Elm Fork Education Center. The outreach program ignites a spark that has brought participants back to UNT as college students. UNT offers numerous other educational opportunities for school-age students each year, including the Texas Governor's School, which invites 10th-graders from across Texas to explore science and technology and their impacts on society. The University also hosts the Texas BEST Robotics Competition, which attracts teams of middle school and high school students from across Texas and New Mexico.

A sign provides direction to various areas of the Francis Scott Key Resort, the host location of the "Ride Across Maryland." (Photo: Tom Bachur)
Dick Gelfman's 2010 motorcycle "Ride Across Maryland" charity ride raised $300,001 this year. All proceeds were donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation.
This year marked the 10th anniversary of the Ride Across Maryland. Not only did participants raise a full $100,000 more than 2009's "Ride Across Maryland" but this year, cumulative donations reached the $2,000,000 mark.
Talking to Dick before the ride, he indicated that a big goal for the 2010 "10th Anniversary Ride" was to reach the $2 million mark. Congratulations to Dick and his staff for reaching that lofty goal!
Saturday morning, after converging on the Mall in Columbia from various points around the state, rider's departed for Ocean City shortly after 9:00. In a long procession that took over fifteen minutes to cross the Bay Bridge, bikes thundered onto Maryland's Eastern Shore. Just about two hours later, the first bikes began to roll into the Francis Scott Key Resort. At first, rider's arrived in small groups. Before too long the groups became packs. The 2010 Ride was well attended, and enjoyed by all who participated.
There was a lot going on in Ocean City this past weekend, and bikers seemed to be taking advantage of all that the beach resort had to offer. The OC Air Show, featuring the Airforce Thunderbirds, was a popular event. The Thunderbird's put on an exciting show, flying various formations and stunts, just off of the beach.

Airclic Helps Dock Workers to Efficiently and Accurately Receive, Stage and Load Shipments from Multiple Suppliers at the Same Time
New Version of Transport Perform Product Allows High Volumes of Data, Multiple Suppliers to be Handled Efficiently and Accurately
Airclic, a global provider of cloud-based software that transforms the accuracy, efficiency and competitiveness of mobile supply chain and logistics operations, today announced that it has released the latest version of Transport Perform® (version r12.4), its cloud-based 3PL transportation solution that improves order accuracy and operational efficiency. With this release, Airclic has expanded its support for high-volume cross-docking, allowing dock workers to receive, stage and load shipments from one or more suppliers in parallel and validate received items or shipments in real time against Advanced Shipment Notice data.
Transport Perform is a third-party logistics (3PL) mobile transportation management product that works with any device or carrier. It has been designed specifically to improve the efficiency and accuracy of cross-docking and delivery within a logistics operation by providing visibility into the mobile supply chain and giving an organization the features and functionality it needs to enable a more scalable and reliable workflow. Costly and time-consuming paper-based processing can be eliminated alongside received versus loaded versus delivered errors, reducing overall costs and increasing customer confidence that their shipments have been executed correctly. Transport Perform is intuitive and easy-to use, ensuring a seamless deployment and rapid ROI, as customers have reported saving an average of $400 per route, per month.
With Transport Perform r12.4, the full and accurate data required to process shipments from suppliers is captured, validated and assured from the first point of contact on the dock. Inbound shipments are validated in real-time against advanced shipment data (at item level, order level and supplier container level) and automatically direct the dock worker to the correct outbound container and route based on shipment details, such as end destination or customer location. It also boasts highly configurable workflows to ensure that dock worker activity is based on the requirements of the original supplier.
"Organizations that have automated their transportation logistics and delivery systems have improved customer satisfaction while reducing the cost of doing business," said Pól Sweeney, CTO, Airclic. "Improved accuracy and better efficiency have increased customer confidence and given 3PL providers using Transport Perform an advantage over the competition. The new capabilities announced today will help them accurately record items received on the dock, staged and loaded all at the same time, in real-time."
The key features of Transport Perform r12.4 include:
