(July 2, 2010)--While many employees look forward to taking some time off this summer to travel or enjoy time with the family, others are busy hosting the numerous summer camps and activities that take place annually at the UTSA Main Campus, Downtown Campus and Institute of Texan Cultures.
This summer, there is a variety of camps at all three UTSA campuses for students of all ages involving academics, athletics, culture and music. While many camps are filled to capacity, several are still open and welcoming campers for the remainder of the summer.

Pure Sensation Speeds to Victory in Parx Dash
Patricia Generazio's homebred Pure Sensation claimed his second straight grade III victory sprinting on the turf July 9 in the $200,000 Parx Dash Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Parx Racing.
Patricia Generazio's homebred Pure Sensation claimed his second straight grade III victory sprinting on the turf July 9 in the $200,000 Parx Dash Stakes (gr. IIIT) at Parx Racing.
Two sharp turf sprinters owned by Colts Neck Stables, along with The Jim Stable's Ben's Cat and recent grade III winner Pure Sensation, are among 10 horses entered in the $200,000 Parx Dash (gr. IIIT) for 3-year-olds and up July 9 at Parx Racing.
Veteran Ben's Cat was upstaged by a youngster who looks to have a good future ahead of him June 4 in the $150,000 Pennsylvania Governor's Cup at Penn National.
Ben's Cat looks to follow his success in the Jim McKay Turf Sprint by lining up for his fifth try June 4 in the $150,000 Pennsylvania Governor's Cup.
Fan favorite Ben's Cat continues to excel for Hall of Famer King Leatherbury. The Blood-Horse caught up with the 10-year-old warrior and his connections in Maryland, where he dashed to his fifth Jim McKay Turf Sprint score.
For the fourth year in a row and fifth overall, 10-year-old warrior Ben's Cat won the $100,000 Jim McKay Turf Sprint May 20 and did it in dramatic fashion under the bright sun at Pimlico Race Course.
Salutos Amigos will look to win what has been an elusive graded stakes score outside of his favorite venue of Aqueduct Racetrack May 21 in the $150,000 Maryland Sprint Handicap (gr. III) at Pimlico Race Course.
The ordinary horse has a grinding tenacity that wears out lesser animals and gives faster, better-bred horses fits.
The Jim Stable's Ben's Cat, a winner in his 10-year-old debut in a May 1 allowance contest at Laurel Park, will hope to keep the momentum going in the $100,000 Jim McKay Turf Sprint May 20 at Pimlico Race Course.
The Jim Stable's Ben's Cat, who hadn't raced since late November on dirt, overcame a wide trip in a good grass allowance field May 1 at Laurel Park to win his 10-year-old debut.
Ben Cat's is being pointed for the May 20 Jim McKay Turf Sprint, a race he's won four times, after his comeback in the Laurel Park allowance.
Trainer King Leatherbury plans to start him at Laurel in preparation for Pimlico's Jim McKay Turf Sprint in late May, a race Ben's Cat has won four times.
Green Gratto, who has become a force in the New York sprinter ranks in the fall and winter, is among nine horses entered for the $250,000 General George Stakes (gr. III) Feb. 15 at Laurel Park.
M M G Racing Stable's Never Gone South returned to the bounced back from two tough stakes losses in a big way Jan. 16 when romping away to 7 1/4-length victory in the $75,000 Frank Whiteley Jr. Stakes at Laurel Park.
Voting for 2015 NTRA Moment of the Year is underway via Twitter through Jan. 3, 2016.
Hall of Fame trainer King Leatherbury reported Thursday that his 9-year-old multiple graded stakes winner Ben's Cat will get the winter off following his seventh-place finish Nov. 24 in the Fabulous Strike Handicap.
There was a reason bettors made PJG Stable's Favorite Tale the 1-2 favorite for the $200,000 Fabulous Strike Handicap; he was the class of the field off a third in the Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I).
Ben's Cat, the formidable iron horse who keeps on campaigning for Hall of Fame trainer King Leatherbury, could take home his fourth consecutive edition of the $200,000 Fabulous Strike Handicap Nov. 25 at Penn National.
The Penn Gaming Racing Challenge, which links major races at tracks owned by Penn National Gaming Inc., will contest its fifth and final leg of the year at three racetracks Thanksgiving week.
Two competitors from the Breeders' Cup Sprint (gr. I) and another who was nominated but opted for a New York-bred stakes are among 27 nominees for the Frank J. De Francis Memorial Dash at Laurel Park Nov. 14.
Jack's in the Deck and jockey Forest Boyce won a stretch duel with 3-5 favorite Ben's Cat for a game nose victory in the $100,000 Maryland Million Sprint at Laurel Park Oct. 17.
Rebecca Davis' Not Abroad, an 8-year-old Not For Love horse who returned Oct. 2 after almost three years away from the races, is one of 11 entered in the $150,000 Maryland Million Classic, which he won in 2012.
The 30th anniversary of the Jim McKay Maryland Million will be celebrated Oct. 17 at Laurel Park with the running of nine stakes, which attracted a total of 155 nominations.
Sired by half brothers and out of full sisters, Ah Day and Ben's Cat share three of their four grandparents, and the differences between them may have a lot to do with that quarter they don't share.

Abortion in America
The Geography of Abortion Access - Forty years ago Tuesday, the Supreme Court ushered in legal abortion for American women when it decided in Roe v. Wade. Today, states—particularly in the South and Midwest—are eroding that right by legislating hundreds of provisions intended to impede access with burdensome obstacles. To understand more fully the complex state of access to abortion services in America, The Daily Beast identified and confirmed the location of the country's remaining 724 clinics and calculated the distance from every part of the country to its closest clinic.

Undue Burden

Abortion Not OK in OK
Provoking pro-choice advocates, Oklahoma passed two highly restrictive abortion laws on Tuesday. One (rtf file) requires doctors to show women an ultrasound of their fetus and point out its physical characteristics — even if the patient was impregnated through rape or incest. The second (rtf file) stipulates that doctors cannot be sued if they decide to lie to an expectant mother regarding her baby's birth defects. A third requires clinics to post signs telling patients they cannot be forced to have an abortion. The first law prompted an immediate lawsuit from Tulsa's only abortion clinic. [more inside]
When transphobia interferes with quality healthcare
"Melissa" (name changed for privacy) is a transwoman who was badly injured in a car accident and is in hospital in critical condition. While in treatment, some of the medical staff and her family decided that since she still had a "male" body, to make things "less confusing", they will erase 4 years of her female identity by referring to her as a man and taking her off her hormone therapy. (Warning: possible triggers) As little light puts it:
And if she woke up as from a deep sleep, she'd wake up into a world where her best friend was dead, where her body had been forcibly edited back to its pre-transition state and given a few more years of the influence of testosterone to boot, where her memory and self were hazy and confusing and nobody was calling her by the right name and pronouns, they were in fact pretending four years of her life, the four years she finally got to be honest and true to herself, those had never happened, and shh, she's just confused, shhhh, calm down, let's work on fixing your memory some more.[more inside]
Conscientious Objector Policy Act attempts to further mutilates our basic rights
Conscientious Objector Policy Act would allow Michigander doctors and health care providers to refuse treatment on moral, ethical or religious grounds. Yet another OMG MORALZ OMG sort of bill. But wait, what are morals? And does Nicole Kidman figure into this somehow?

Indian PM to visit Bhutan Sunday
NEW DELHI, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Bhutan Sunday on a two-day trip to the Himalayan nation, his first foreign tour since assuming office last month.
Aiming at bolstering trade and energy ties, Modi will meet Bhutan's King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay.
"Our relations with Bhutan are unique and especially warm. Our historical and cultural linkages make us natural friends and partners. Bhutan is one of our most important strategic partners. We will explore ways and means of strengthening our ties in important areas," Indian Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh told the media in the national capital Saturday.
Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and the Foreign Secretary will accompany Modi to Bhutan.

Poverty, long-known to be a major factor behind the HIV epidemic in urban areas, is such a powerful force that income and related measures are better predictors of who will get infected than whether they exchange sex for money, according to a new federal study of heterosexuals in 24 cities.
The study, published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, was too small to break out findings on Philadelphia or the other cities. But it helps explain why Philadelphia has some of the highest HIV rates in the country: It also is among the most impoverished of big cities.

Stub categorization[edit]
I am moving this article to {{child-book-stub}}, but am unsure whether it should be considered a stub any longer. BonsaiViking 20:42, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
IMHO, it is still a stub. The article lacks a (IMHO) a short description of least of the core aspects of the story (the techno-fixation of the Toad, how he values his "urges" higher than friendship, and how in spite of that his friends "reintegrate him into socienty"). I'm sure someone could write that differently, so it doesn't sound like complete bullshit like my writing. IMHO. --Klaws 19:39, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
Published when?
There are enough pop-culture references to it, besides adaptations, to justify a section mentioning the aspects that support the references. I'm thinking of at least Mr Toad's Wild Ride (at both Disneyland and Disney World?), Toad Hall dormitory, and Toad's Place.
--Jerzy•t 03:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Might be worth checking the actual name of the ride. Latin for toad is bufo, not 'Toadi'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Easton (talk • contribs) 09:21, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
The article says "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is the name of a ride at Disneyland... inspired by Toad's motorcar adventure." The words are actually taken from the chapter title, aren't they? 18.104.22.168 (talk) 11:06, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

What is the difference?184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:51, 15 September 2008 (UTC)she who shall not be named.
The 1996 animated film[edit]
What company did the 1996 animated version?
- Was there one? I remember one from about then (maybe earlier) using Clay Mation and made by Cosgrove Hall--TimothyJacobson (talk) 16:35, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:WNDB.jpg[edit]
Image:WNDB.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Not withstanding the fact that it was published in 1908 - 7 years into the reign of Edward VII - it seems to reflect Edwardian society more. As indeed it ought to. Plutonium27 20:46, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'll remove the paragraph. If there are objections it can always be restored later. ssepp(talk) 18:51, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
The 1985 film, I saw in '84[edit]
I saw the 1985 film in 1984 on television. I still have the video cassette of it (I taped it). It was definitely '84 as it had advertisements in it that could only have been screened in 1984 (including mention of the 1984 Australian Olympic team going to LA).
Was it screened earlier in Australia and other countries???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 14:40, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
The was a live action series in, I think, the mid 70's. Animals not people. I think it was derived from the Wind in the Willows characters, but I don't now recall how closely. Does anyone remember this?184.108.40.206 (talk) 08:13, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
Importance scale[edit]
I'm going through some WikiProject Children's literature articles and I noticed that this article was rated High importance. However, I think that it should be Top importance, as it's a classic in children's literature. Any comments? Mr. Absurd (talk) 04:32, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
- Jolly good idea. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC).
An initial flop?[edit]
(Question transferred to Titled section) I've heard that Wind in the Willows initially flopped, but was revived by A. A. Milne and his stage adaptation of Toad of Toad Hall. Does anyone know anything more about this? -- Alex Watson 21:26, 22 Sep 2003 (UTC)
If it is any help, I have just read a chapter called 'A Household Book' in A A Milne's book 'Not That It Matters', [1], in which he recommends the Wind in the Willows to his readers. I believe the chapters were each published as a column in the newspaper he wrote for at the time, but I can't remember what it was. I can't reproduce the relevant bit from the chapter, as it is still within copyright, but Milne says that most people had heard of Grahame's books The Golden Age and Dream Days, but almost none of the hundreds of people he had spoken to over a period of 10 to 12 years knew of Wind in the Willow, so he always recommended to them. Milne then goes on to say that it is a Household Book, by which he means it will be loved by everyone in a household.
Hope this has been of some use. Queencole (talk) 10:20, 1 January 2012 (UTC)
The lede currently states "The Wind in the Willows was in its thirty-first printing when then-famous playwright, A. A. Milne, who loved it, adapted a part of it for stage as Toad of Toad Hall in 1929." Thirty-three printings in 21 years suggests the book was fairly successful. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 19:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Additional miscellany item (prior to redistribution)[edit]
I'd support the redistribution of the items currently listed under the Miscellany section into expanded text elsewhere, but pending that, an additional item I'll note here is the existence of the short-lived American folk-rock band The Wind in the Willows, which included the pre-Blondie Debbie Harry, and whose eponymous and only album included (as Side One, Track Five) "There Is But One Truth, Daddy" incorporating textual recitation from the book, and whose sleeve art (by Howard Bernstein) included depictions of the books's four main characters. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 19:25, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
Is the Editions Section Necessary?[edit]
Not only does the Editions section look incomplete, but don't many of the entries just read like advertisments for recently published editions? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 02:36, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
Confusion of title[edit]
I always thought that this book was called "The wind 'and' the willows." Personally i feel it has a better ring to it. Maybe there could be a part of the article that references this misconception and outlines it as blantently wrong? 126.96.36.199 (talk) 19:36, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm rating this as B in it's current state. In my opinion the plot section is too long, and some of the Wikilinks need to be finessed so they don't look so messy. Also, the quote under literary analysis is nice, but it isn't actually analyzing the book as a literary piece, so it's misnamed, I think.
But there's a lot of info in here, and it's pretty well organized. If someone wanted to clean it up I think they could nominate it for GA or FA. Good work, everybody! Tlqk56 (talk) 00:44, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Disney Ride Closed[edit]
According to Wiki, the ride closed over a decade ago- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Toad%27s_Wild_Ride — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:16, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Article Balance[edit]
Putting the
cat weasel among the pigeons toads, is it just me or does this article now look out of balance re. the 'Adaptions' section is getting waaaayyyy toooooo long:) - could this be turned into a separate list?, although quite a few are redlinks, so are they notable? Also, we need to keep an eye on the popular culture section which can easily get out of hand. Comments? Coolabahapple (talk) 16:36, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with you. For a start I suggest that all unsourced material could be removed. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:51, 5 June 2015 (UTC).

Take-Two lay-offs are corporate only, says firm
Take-Two has responded to reports this morning over lay-offs within the company, and turns out, it's happening at the corporate level only.
While not making any significant cuts in the suit level, T2 denies that any cuts were being made on the studio end.
"As part of Take-Two's stated goal to maximize the efficiency of our business, we initiated a targeted restructuring of our corporate departments only in order to better align our resources with our current goals," read a statement given to MCV.
"Some of these changes were associated with the pending sale of our Jack of All Games distribution business.
"To be clear, there were no reductions made at the studio level."
It was reported earlier today that Take-Two was cutting 20 percent of the workforce, and rumor had it that 400 people were to be let go which included cuts at Rockstar UK.

Conservatoire researcher wins AHRC grant
Deborah H. Mawer (Birmingham Conservatoire) has been awarded a research grant from the Arts & Humanities Research Council, with a bid value of £461,583, to lead a three-year project: 'Accenting the Classics: Durand's Édition classique (c. 1915-25) as a French Prism on the Musical Past', in collaboration with Graham Sadler (Birmingham Conservatoire), Barbara L. Kelly (Royal Northern College of Music) and Rachel Moore (University of Oxford). This project will blend analytical, cultural and historical musicology with music performance to investigate the nature of the varying 'French accent' (Ravel's 'accent singulier') given to earlier European piano music (the 'Classics') within Durand's multi-volume edition, on the occasion of its centenary. The repertoire comprises music by well-known and since-forgotten composers, which was edited by well- and lesser-known early 20th-century French composers, together with musicologists and teachers at the Paris Conservatoire.
Investigation will start with detailed analytical case studies of edited music. An initial group will include Ravel (editing Mendelssohn) and Debussy (Chopin); Emmanuel, Garban and Roger-Ducasse (Bach and Burgundian folksongs); balanced by music of the 18th-century French harpsichordists, including Couperin (edited by Tiersot) and Rameau (Diémer). Secondly, using blended archival, historical and interpretative skills, assessment of the role and wider cultural network of the Édition classique will offer new insights into early 20th-century French cultural identity (for example, incipient neoclassicism); relations with 20th-century French composers' own music; canonic issues; Conservatoire pedagogy; wartime publishing, in the context of editions by Henry Expert, Saint-Saëns and Heugel. The project will also embrace how today's users - students, scholars, musicians and the wider public - can benefit from (test out and inflect) this knowledge, including alternative interpretations for pianists and the promotion of 'lost' repertoire. 'Accenting the Classics' will run from summer 2016-2019.
New PhD Digital Stories
One of PGRNet's main projects this year is on sharing the voice of our PhD students, and we are doing that through digital storytelling. Throughout the year, we will publish new digital stories where PhD students from across the University will share their PhD experience and the research they are doing. Anastasia Nikologianni (right) talks about her research in landscape architecture and the fascinating work she has done across Europe.

CEBE Research Journal issue 2
The Faculty of Computing, Engineering and the Built Environment have released the second issue of their research journal. It is an online, open-access journal which gives research staff and students the opportunity to publish their work. It follows the first issue which was released in 2014.
Articles in the new issue include 'Ethics and the University' by Professor Peter Larkham and 'Urban agriculture, planning and health: exploring the links' by Veronica Barry.
Case study selected as REF impact exemplar
A Birmingham City University case study submitted to REF 2014 has been chosen as one of the top 20 for research impact in computer science.
Professor Cham Athwal (right) and his team in the Digital Media Technology research group have been developing innovative vehicle crash testing technology since the mid-1990s, and the importance of the work has been recognised in a new report by the UK Computing Research Committee detailing the best twenty examples of the impact of computer science research.
The technology developed enables faster and more intuitive analysis of vehicle crash test data, and has proved to be very popular in the industry. The system was developed in collaboration with the Motor Industry Research Association (MIRA) and was soon incorporated into an international standard for vehicle crash testing.
Jimmy Robinson, a research associate on the project, completed a research degree under Cham's supervision, before going on to create his own company to develop and sell the system.
Director of Research, Professor Keith Osman said: "This case study reinforces how critical to impact an integrated research and enterprise strategy is, with innovation representing the bridge between new knowledge creation through research and application, and impact generation by enterprise".

New facility for postgraduate research students
A new, dedicated facility for research students has been opened at City North Campus.
The PGR (Postgraduate Research) Hub, based on the third floor of Baker Building, provides a number of resources for research students and their supervisors including room for flexible working, seminars and meetings, as well as a social space.
Research students from every part of the University will be able to make use of a variety of new equipment including desks, 25 PCs; 24 laptop docking stations with mice and keyboards, lockers, kitchen facilities and two separate rooms for meetings. In addition, there is a furnished seminar room for use as a teaching space.
The PGR Hub has been created as part of the University's work to ensure that research students have access to improved resources until new research facilities become available at City Centre Campus and City South Campus from summer 2017.
Jane Farrow, Research Support Manager, commented: "We want to make sure that our postgraduate students have easy access to facilities that will really help them in their studies. The PGR Hub also provides a central location for lectures and seminars which will help to bring together research students from across the University."

University conference a success in Jordan
The University co-hosted an international conference in April in Jordan, and was a success in attracting academics from around the world.
The 'First International Conference on the Transformation of the Urban Character of Arab Cities since the Late Last Century', organised and co-hosted by Birmingham City University and the German Jordanian University (GJU), took place in Jordan from 22 April to 24 April 2015 at the German Jordanian University main campus, and was supported by the Mayor of Amman, Akel Beltagi.
The conference discussed various topics and subjects such as:
- Modernity and tradition: Approaches and practices in urban design; comparative analysis of contemporary and traditional approaches.
- Capitalism and modernism: the changing character of urban spaces.
- The social dimension of urban design: responsive and inclusive public spaces.
- Urban identity and social sustainability of the city
- The political and sociocultural dimensions of regeneration projects.
The GJU President, Prof. Natheer Abu Obeid, emphasised that this International Conference was held in the context of the social and cultural transformation, globalisation and the revolution of information technology, pointing out that education, training and human development are major activities that need healthy competitive environments.
Prof Mohsen Aboutorabi, Professor of Architecture at the University, said: "This conference is aiming to develop a new narrative to form a new utopian thinking that can change the global sameness paradigm to colourful landscape of variety of cities, through underscoring the urgent political priority of constructing cities that correspond to human social needs, rather than to the capitalist imperative."
Despite the political unrest in the region, the conference succeeded in gathering professionals and academics from all other the world. Dr. Bushra Zalloom, (conference coordinator and University representative in Jordan) mentioned that there were around forty scientific papers at the conference from the USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Iran, UAE, UK, and Jordan. The conference included eight valuable sessions and welcomed keynote speakers Dr. Farouk Yaghmour from Jordan, Prof. Christoph Zoepel from Germany, Prof. Ali Madanipour from UK, Prof. Ruth Carter from the USA. The third day was a scientific tour to discover the legacy of Amman, Jordan.
The conference highlighted that stakeholders should find practical solutions to prevent the city identity, rather than only focusing on the urban problems in the region. It also highlights the importance of the co-operation between Universities, public and private sectors to establish strategies that could be implemented gradually on ground. Moreover, the Arab region should benefit from the developed countries experiences in the field and try to create their own way in preventing their identity.
During the concluding session, Dr. Mohammed Yaghan, the Dean of School of Architecture and Built environment at GJU, said: "This conference has come to bridge the gap between theory and practice, and will help in developing the field."
New chapter published on landscape architecture
Senior academic and MArch course director Mike Dring has co-authored a book chapter entitled 'Landscapes of Variance: Working the Gap between Design and Nature' as part of the recently published 'Revising Green Infrastructure: Concepts Between Nature and Design', available from leading academic publisher Taylor and Francis.
Originally conceived as part of the 'Land Art Generator Initiative' competition submission in 2012, and later presented at 'Designing Nature as Infrastructure' conference at the Technical University of Munich the same year, the chapter explores the gaps between design and interventions in the landscape, in doing so opening up the latent potential of a site, in this case the Fresh Kills landfill site in New York. The chapter examines the work of artists and designers through their engagement with site, most recently through its reinvention as a public park.
Mike also exhibited work at the Royal Academy Summer Show in 2013, illustrations for which also appear in the book.
The essay sees the culmination of an extended period of academic and practice based research across disciplines of architecture, landscape architecture, art and public policy, and has reached multiple audiences.

Groundbreaking cancer diagnosis research featured on Radio 4
Pioneering research into cancer diagnosis, led by the University's School of Digital Media Technology (DMT), was featured on Radio 4's PM programme in early March.
Dr Ryan Stables of DMT has collaborated with the University of Central Lancashire and GEANT, (a pan-European research and education network) on a preliminary study which converted stem cell data into sounds rather than visual data such as graphs, similar to the function of a metal detector.
Ryan says, "It allows you to identify the characteristics of cancer in real-time, which we hope could have life-changing implications for patients through the development of better diagnostic tools."
At the moment, waiting times for cancer tests are at a six year high. The testing itself is often invasive and can involve taking a biopsy, sending it to a lab and awaiting results, which can take up to six weeks. Current methods of stem cell analysis involve computational pattern analysis, which is very time consuming. By classifying data into audio signals instead, it is easier to differentiate between healthy and cancerous cells and the process is much quicker.
This non-invasive system is still in the early stages of development; the preliminary study was launched at the 20th International Conference on Audio Display.
Listen to Ryan's Radio 4 appearance on BBC iPlayer.

REF 2014 results show the real world impact of our research
For our submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014, we doubled the number of staff producing internationally recognised research and significantly increased the impact our work is having on society and the economy.
The 2014 Research Excellence Framework 2014 (REF) results revealed that 90 per cent of the University's submission was judged to have delivered 'outstanding' or 'very considerable' impact externally.
The six-yearly assessment of research performance also saw the University achieve an increase in the four-star or three-star research on which public funding is partly based, from 40 per cent in 2008 to 60 per cent in 2014.
Birmingham City University's research has impacted on a range of business developments and public policy. Examples include work that enables the migration of music on obsolete platforms to modern devices, and research that has influenced death penalty policy and practice around the world.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Cliff Allan said: "Moving forward, our new research and enterprise strategies will enable us to do more and better research, ensuring new knowledge aligns increasingly with the needs of society and the economy.
"Our 2014 REF submission is far more ambitious than ever before, forming part of our aim of repositioning the University as a broader based institution with research increasingly integral to our work."

RELEASE: An Award-Winning 2013-2104 for Women Warriors
June 2014
Nyack College Women Warriors Receive CACC
Sportsmanship Award in Four of Six Sports
NYACK, NY— Nyack's Women Warriors have represented the College well by adding the 2013-2014 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Team Sportsmanship Awards in four of the six women's sports: basketball, volleyball, softball and lacrosse.
Head coaches of each conference-sponsored sport cast votes for individual CACC team sportsmanship awards each year. Sportsmanship is a core value for NCAA Division II along with learning, service, resourcefulness, passion, and balance.
The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference is an NCAA Division II Conference composed of 14 institutions in Connecticut, Delaware, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. The member institutions are Bloomfield College, Caldwell College, Chestnut Hill College, Concordia (N.Y.) College, Dominican (N.Y.) College, Felician College, Georgian Court University, Goldey-Beacom College, Holy Family University, Nyack College, Philadelphia University, Post University, University of the Sciences, and Wilmington University.
Nyack's Athletic Director Keith Davie is excited to conclude a successful year of sports programs with this honor and was encouraged by the affirmation he received from CACC Commissioner Dan Mara. "The CACC takes great pride in fostering sportsmanship among coaches, student-athletes, administrators and fans. We emphasize sportsmanship and a positive game environment on all of our campuses. Nyack College has now won the honor on multiple occasions. This speaks to the strong values of the student-athletes and coaches as well as the positive influence of the Nyack administration and the entire college community," says Mara.

This Vizio refurbished TV is excellent, after I corrected a couple of issues with the case. And, fortunately, the haphazard packing, for shipment, didn't result in any damage. When I received this TV, the front bezel, of the TV wasn't correctly attached, in a couple of places. I would guess this is shoddy repair work. On the bottom right, near the speaker, the front bezel was not properly snapped into the back half of the case, resulting in a loose spot, and a bulge in the case. I was able to figure how the catches went together, and correct this. On the left side, the case was loosely put together near the control buttons. This caused the button panel to slide down into the side of the case. I was able to move the button panel back to it's correct placement, and found the screws holding the TV together, in the back, were all loose. I believe this is (probably) why the case had come loose, at the bottom front right. However, even after tightening these screws, the button panel didn't seem very secure. Those items aside, this refurbished TV works like new. The picture is great. All features work as advertised. And the price was a real bargain, for me, given the couple of issues were minor. If something more important, and harder to fix, had been half-done, I'd be pretty upset. Something to keep in mind...
For a refurbished TV, cosmetic imperfection is fine with me but at least I am expecting the TV to function the way it should. I immediately notified "TheReconGroup" by filing a warranty claim through their website but I have yet to receive a respond to determine the next step. I always take pride and joy shopping at Walmart and I'm hoping for a positive resolution.
I order two of these. They both arrived at the same time. One is in very good condition. The only two comments on it are that the screws to attach the base are too short and thus the base cannot be attached. There is also some adhesive residue on the top of the frame. Likely from a video game sensor. The second TV looked good except for the fact that the left top corner of the screen was shattered. The frame at that corner was also damaged. The box looked fine so I do not know if it was damaged in shipping or was broken before it was boxed. I will return it to my local store. However, they are only sold online around here and are out of stock. My experience seems to be par for the course with these. It seems that about 50% of them arrive damaged. Nice TV if you can get one that is not broken.
I bought this for the price to spec value. I honestly wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. nice picture, the yahoo apps are a bit slow but faster than my 2008 Sammy. it's hooked up wirelessly and streams just fine in hd. there are dedicated netflix, amazon and m-go (?) buttons on the remote, so if you are not a subscriber (I am) this might annoy you. just be aware that you have go through the full setup before the apps will work; don't skip the "registration process" (name email etc), but you don't need to set up a new account, just use your spam email acct. I suspect this tv was heavily subsidized by the aforementioned services. Now for the bad. delivery was terrible. it arrived the day we had about 5 inches of rain in the Northeast and was placed in front of my garage that has no awning. when I got home, the box was soaked and there was water inside. I took photos as I unpacked in case I had the make a claim. alas, it was only superficial and nothing to my knowledge was damaged. the hdmi 1 connection does not work but I suspect it was not due to the water.
Purchased on walmart.com...on sunday following black friday this year...though I would take a chance when I saw a 47-inch vizio 120hz 1080p smart LED tv for $328 dollars even though it was refurbished. You get the same warranty as a new one but it has been either fixed, returned and no problem found and resold...well my froze twice first day i had it, sound started buzzing, only way to get tv to work was to shut off and restart. Once it was it seemed to be ok, if you turned it off and waited more than about 10 minutes, only way to get it to come back on was to unplug power cable to tv and plug it back in and wiggle it around. Next day my wife was watching tv heard a pop noise, sound went out, turned it on/off several times and still no sound. turned it off til I got home that night, tried unplugging everything and nothing happened at all, called vizio customer support and they were very friendly but it was gonna take about 2 weeks to get a tech out...I decided to lug it back to walmart and return it and get my money back...No really displeased because I took a chance on a steal of a tv at the price. Will wait for another deal and try again
Poor packaging tv stand sliding inside the box which should be manufacturer's original packaging but no its on blank brown box, tv house casing bubbled not snap properly on place, tv stand scratches all over, deformed tv stand tv not straight leaning to the left.
I ordered this TVthinking it was a good deal, it is if your one of the luck ones to receive it in decent condition. I received mines with a broken screen and bezel, the screen is cracked on both the sides and across the screen and the screen is caved in....Packaging was the key to this tv, guess someone didn't think so.
I researched getting a new TV for almost 2 years. I knew I wanted a Vizio but I also knew I had a budget to live within. While researching I knew that I wanted the TV to be 1080p, be a minimum of 120hz, of course it had to support HD and well in this instance size matters. I was upgrading from my 26" TV which while it sounds small has been my awesome TV that I loved for years. So in buying a new TV I wanted something 40" or larger, but not too large.... so yeah, I had a way picky list and hardly any money. I read, and read, and read. I hated waiting and many times I almost just bought whatever Best Buy or Amazon or even Walmart had on sale for <$300-$400. But I held on, then one day the very TV I had narrowed my search to was being sold as Refurbished and then a couple months later on sale. Walmart was amazing, though they use FedEx Ground which is a joke! They mis-delivered the TV and then broke the first one, but Walmart was a champion. After the angst of the wait the much anticipated TV arrived and I have to tell you it is beautiful. The TV's size is just right. At 47" inches the TV is massive compared to my old TV but not too big for my living space. Because of the old TV's case it took up a alot of room, and let's not forget that our cable boxes and attachments all take up space so the the new TV being added was just a matter of arranging things. It fit perfectly and I was even able to arrange it so that my cable box and PlayStation are less visible and in the way. I am on my PlayStation a lot. First Person Shooters and heavy graphics. The TV does a great job, the refresh rate is stunning, I don't notice any problems or delays. This is part of why I wanted the 120hz. The sound which many people seem to complain about is actually stellar. I already have a surround sound system that I was using with my other TV but I have not even had to hook it up with the new TV. That is not to say I won't as Jurassic Park just won't be the same, but in the future I may add a sound bar, but let me be honest, the TV does not need it and it has crisp sound. Also a quick note I am handicap and have both some hearing and visual loss. The sound has no issues, I can turn it loud enough that I hear, and if I turn on close captions they are nice and crisp that I can read. The built in wifi is great. I have not internet connectivity issues. I have a friend with the same TV and the only issue she has is that her wifi base station is too far from her TV so keep that in mind when setting your things up. Folks, I have to tell you that this is an all around excellent TV!
Just like the previous reviews (I didn't listen to) this TV is a complete piece of junk. It worked for a few hours before it started to turn off. The setup was easy the picture and sound was OK but if it doesn't work what good is any of that. Please don't waste your time!!!
Great refurbished HD LED TV. you can't beat the price for less than $500, $500 including the 4 year warranty. picture is excellent in the retail mode and still looks great in power saving mode. the sound is exceptional for a 47 inch TV. it also has great features such as four HDMI outputs. if you're on a budget and still want quality I definitely recommend this television.
I picked up the TV from a local Walmart after it was shipped there from online purchase. TV screen was broken/damaged in shipping. The Walmart employee told me "too bad its broken, we are sold out so just return it now".
The TV keep turning itself off so after contacting vizio and trying all there trouble shooting advice and no good results I retuned the item.
TV arrived completely damaged, could not use it.
Was super excited to get this TV it was exactly what I was looking for and the price unbeatable. Despite the negative reviews I went ahead and ordered it anyways, big mistake. After a week of waiting it showed up with a broken screen and a cracked case, promptly drove over to walmart and returned it . I will be buying new next time, oh well, took a chance and now you know, buy refurbished and is a roll of the dice.
When I received my TV it was busted and non functioning. Thanks Wal-Mart!
I was really excited when finally I was able to complete the checkout process and submit my order but 2 days later all was gone. TV came in plain brown box without any marking (not even handle with care ! sticker ) and the screen was cracked with broken bezel. Company as big as Walmart should better take care of their packing and shipping departments. What a waste.
This tv is a great tv as I already own one for our bedroom.
So I thought I will buy another one,but can't seem to get one delivered to me undamaged do to poor packageing from RECON who refurbished these TV's
Walmart needs to tell them to pack this tv better,note this is not Walmarts fault but the people packing them.
I was excited to have received my TV because of the great price but as I pulled it out of the box I realized that the screen had huge cracks in it. Looking at the reviews I see that I am not the only one that had the same issue. Would NOT recommend this TV since there is a big chance it will arrive broken.
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this TV is just like a brand new one when taken out of the box. It had all of the seals and stickers just as a new one would. The sound and picture quality is amazing. And for the price, you can't find a better deal! A+++++++ Thank you walmart.com
TV was poorly packed in a too large box and 5 pieces of bubblewrap (4 corner pieces and one that was meant to protect the body). The base was not secured and free to move around the box. When I opened it, I found a broken bezel and cracked screen. Returned it immediately.

Do you feel like the way you are living is not the healthiest? If you want to become much healthier and a lot happier, it is time for you to make a few changes in your life. Once you begin making these changes, you will start to see such a drastic difference in the way you feel, look and even react to certain situations.
Put a Stop to the Stress: Remove Negativity From Your Life
A healthy lifestyle is hard to achieve if you are always feeling stressed out. Whether your friends are putting you into worrisome situations or your workplace has you feeling panicked all the time, it is time to make some life changes and focus on you.
The best way to remove some of the negativity from your life is to stop hanging around those who focus solely on drama and spend more time around those who are doing positive things in their lives. You may even want to leave your current workplace and start working in a less stressful environment.
Exercise Daily for Weight Management and Health Benefits
Once you start getting rid of some of the stress, you can try exercising a bit more. The best thing about exercise is that it naturally helps to relieve some stress, but it also offers a ton of other health benefits. Even if you start jogging a few times a week and doing some aerobics at home for about 30-60 minutes, you can get the relief you need from the stress while also maintaining your current weight or even losing some pounds.
Fuel Yourself With the Right Food
Getting rid of the stress and exercising more will help you live a healthy lifestyle. However, you should not forget to start eating healthier. You should continuously fuel your body with the right food, including fresh produce, seafood and lean meat. If you do not eat meat or seafood, you can get your protein and vitamins by eating tofu and plenty of fruits or vegetables.
If you truly want to live a healthier life, it is all about balancing things out. You need to work on cutting a lot of the stress out of your life, adding more exercise into each day of the week and eating better for your body. When you can make these kinds of changes, you will truly benefit from them in the long run.Read More

Unix Systems for Modern Architectures
Book Review
Unix Systems for Modern Architectures
Author: Curt Schimmel
Publisher: Addison-Wesley
Reviewer: Randolph Bentson (email@example.com)
"What is involved in a multiprocessor version of Linux?" has almost become a "Frequently Asked Question" in the Linux newsgroups. The answer is contained in Curt Schimmel's UNIX Systems for Modern Architectures.
Schimmel can speak from experience on this topic. He worked on Unix systems at AT&T Bell Laboratories and at Silicon Graphics, Inc., and has offered tutorials on symmetric multiprocessor Unix systems at USENIX and UKUUG. This book is an outgrowth of those tutorials.
At first glance, the book seems to offer too much detail about hardware for a programmer. But as one proceeds, one sees that understanding the subtleties of hardware-cache-bus-memory interactions is an essential component of "doing" a kernel for a multiprocessor system.
After a brief (17 page) description of Unix processes, another 130 pages are devoted to discussing uniprocessor cache systems. I was surprised and delighted to find out how hard it can be to get the right results. Fortunately, folks do seem to have done this right on the systems I've used.
With this foundation well established, the remainder of the book deals with the new domain of multiprocessor systems.
The keys to any such system are protecting shared data and efficient interprocess communication. Mutual exclusion mechanisms are cast in three forms - short term, medium term, and long term. We are shown how uniprocessor implementations of Unix depended on a single-threaded kernel and interrupt masking to protect shared data and, more importantly, we are shown how these methods are inappropriate for a multiprocessor system.
Schimmel shows how one can build locks for all three levels of mutual exclusion (and points out where they are needed in a typical Unix kernel). Although the master/slave scheme is straightforward to implement, it has much the flavor (and bottlenecks) of a uniprocessor system. The more promising symmetric multiprocessor scheme is not as easy to do correctly. The essence of the problem is finding the right granularity (or size) for the critical sections. Granularity that is either too large or too small can harm system performance. We are shown the analysis that leads to good designs.
The book concludes with more memory access and caching issues - this time with multi-processor systems. Some recent RISC chips have memory models which allow for stores and loads to be re-ordered from what the programmer intended, in order to gain performance. We are shown how RISC chips have mechanisms to force the correct results for implementing locks and accessing data in critical sections. Even when memory requests are issued in the order they were programmed, cache consistency is a serious issue in multiprocessor systems. The final chapters of the book address the interactions that must be dealt with by a serious system designer.
This book is written as a textbook, with questions and references at the end of each chapter. Selected questions have answers provided in an appendix. Another appendex summarizes a dozen popular chips found in Unix systems.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide
