Being Fluent with Information Technologyby National Research Council
Computers, communications, digital information, software—the constituents of the information age—are everywhere. Being computer literate, that is technically competent in two or three of today's software applications, is not enough anymore. Individuals who want to realize the potential value of information technology (IT) in their everyday lives need to be computer fluent—able to use IT effectively today and to adapt to changes tomorrow.Being Fluent with Information Technology sets the standard for what everyone should know about IT in order to use it effectively now and in the future. It explores three kinds of knowledge—intellectual capabilities, foundational concepts, and skills—that are essential for fluency with IT. The book presents detailed descriptions and examples of current skills and timeless concepts and capabilities, which will be useful to individuals who use IT and to the instructors who teach them.
Best Available and Safest Technologies for Offshore Oil and Gas Operations: Options for Implementationby National Research Council National Academy of Engineering Committee on Options for Implementing the Requirement of Best Available Safest Technologies for Offshore Oil Gas Operations Marine Board
Best Available and Safest Technologies for Offshore Oil and Gas Operations: Options for Implementation explores a range of options for improving the implementation of the U.S. Department of the Interior's congressional mandate to require the use of best available and safety technologies in offshore oil and gas operations. In the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, Congress directs the Secretary of the Interior to regulate oil and gas operations in federal waters. The act mandates that the Secretary â œshall require, on all new drilling and production operations and, wherever practicable, on existing operations, the use of the best available and safest technologies which the Secretary determines to be economically feasible, wherever failure of equipment would have a significant effect on safety, health, or the environment, except where the Secretary determines that the incremental benefits are clearly insufficient to justify the incremental costs of utilizing such technologies.â This report, which was requested by Department of the Interior's Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), also reviews options and issues that BSEE is already considering to improve implementation of the best available and safest technologies requirement.
Best Practices in Assessment of Research and Development Organizationsby National Research Council Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences Laboratory Assessments Board
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)--recognizing that information and insights gained through continual examination of practices for organizational assessment are useful for decision makers at organizations across the deferral, industrial, academic, and national laboratory sectors-recently requested that the National Research Council (NRC) organize a panel to review best practices in assessment of research and development (R&D) organizations. In response, the NRC established the Panel for Review of Best Practices in Assessment of Research and Development Organizations. The panel was charged to consider means of assessing the following in a manner that satisfies the requirements of NIST to perform effective assessments but also identifies assessment methods that can be applied selectively to other R&D organizations. These methods include: technical merit and quality of the science and engineering work, the adequacy of the resources available to support high-quality work, the effectiveness of the agency's delivery of the services and products required to fulfill its goals, the degree to which the agency's current and planned R&D portfolio supports its mission, as well as the agency's flexibility to respond to changing economic, political, social and technological contexts. As one means of data gathering, among others that the panel is performing toward development of a final report of its findings, the panel organized a planning committee for a workshop on best practices in assessment of R&D organizations. Best Practices in Assessment of Research and Development Organizations: Summary of a Workshop reviews the workshop conducted at the Keck Center of the National Academies in Washington, D.C., on March 19, 2012.
Beyond Six Billion: Forecasting the World's Populationby National Research Council
Is rapid world population growth actually coming to an end? As population growth and its consequences have become front-page issues, projections of slowing growth from such institutions as the United Nations and the World Bank have been called into question. Beyond Six Billion asks what such projections really say, why they say it, whether they can be trusted, and whether they can be improved. The book includes analysis of how well past U.N. and World Bank projections have panned out, what errors have occurred, and why they have happened.Focusing on fertility as one key to accurate projections, the committee examines the transition from high, constant fertility to low fertility levels and discusses whether developing countries will eventually attain the very low levels of births now observed in the industrialized world. Other keys to accurate projections, predictions of lengthening life span and of the impact of international migration on specific countries, are also explored in detail.How good are our methods of population forecasting? How can we cope with the inevitable uncertainty? What population trends can we anticipate? Beyond Six Billion illuminates not only the forces that shape population growth but also the accuracy of the methods we use to quantify these forces and the uncertainty surrounding projections.The Committee on Population was established by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) in 1983 to bring the knowledge and methods of the population sciences to bear on major issues of science and public policy. The committee's work includes both basic studies of fertility, health and mortality, and migration; and applied studies aimed at improving programs for the public health and welfare in the United States and in developing countries. The committee also fosters communication among researchers in different disciplines and countries and policy makers in government, international agencies, and private organizations. The work of the committee is made possible by funding from several government agencies and private foundations.
Big Databy National Research Council Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences Committee for Science and Technology Challenges to U.S. National Security Interests
In 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) approached the National Research Council's TIGER standing committee and asked it to develop a list of workshop topics to explore the impact of emerging science and technology. From the list of topics given to DIA, three were chosen to be developed by the Committee for Science and Technology Challenges to U.S. National Security Interests. The first in a series of three workshops was held on April 23-24, 2012. This report summarizes that first workshop which explored the phenomenon known as big data. The objective for the first workshop is given in the statement of task, which explains that that workshop will review emerging capabilities in large computational data to include speed, data fusion, use, and commodification of data used in decision making. The workshop will also review the subsequent increase in vulnerabilities over the capabilities gained and the significance to national security. The committee devised an agenda that helped the committee, sponsors, and workshop attendees probe issues of national security related to so-called big data, as well as gain understanding of potential related vulnerabilities. The workshop was used to gather data that is described in this report, which presents views expressed by individual workshop participants. Big Data: A Workshop Report is the first in a series of three workshops, held in early 2012 to further the ongoing engagement among the National Research Council's (NRC's) Technology Insight-Gauge, Evaluate, and Review (TIGER) Standing Committee, the scientific and technical intelligence (S&TI) community, and the consumers of S&TI products.
Biobased Industrial Products: Priorities for Research and Commercializationby National Research Council
Petroleum-based industrial products have gradually replaced products derived from biological materials. However, biologically based products are making a comeback--because of a threefold increase in farm productivity and new technologies.Biobased Industrial Products envisions a biobased industrial future, where starch will be used to make biopolymers and vegetable oils will become a routine component in lubricants and detergents.Biobased Industrial Products overviews the U.S. land resources available for agricultural production, summarizes plant materials currently produced, and describes prospects for increasing varieties and yields.The committee discusses the concept of the biorefinery and outlines proven and potential thermal, mechanical, and chemical technologies for conversion of natural resources to industrial applications.The committee also illustrates the developmental dynamics of biobased products through existing examples, as well as products still on the drawing board, and it identifies priorities for research and development.
Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratoriesby National Research Council National Academy Of Sciences Policy and Global Affairs Division on Earth and Life Studies Fran Sharples Committee on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratories Committee on International Security and Arms Control Board on Life Sciences Alison K. Hottes Benjamin Rusek
During July 10-13, 2011, 68 participants from 32 countries gathered in Istanbul, Turkey for a workshop organized by the United States National Research Council on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-containment Biological Laboratories. The United States Department of State's Biosecurity Engagement Program sponsored the workshop, which was held in partnership with the Turkish Academy of Sciences. The international workshop examined biosafety and biosecurity issues related to the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of high-containment biological laboratories- equivalent to United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention biological safety level 3 or 4 labs. Although these laboratories are needed to characterize highly dangerous human and animal pathogens, assist in disease surveillance, and produce vaccines, they are complex systems with inherent risks. Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratories summarizes the workshop discussion, which included the following topics: Technological options to meet diagnostic, research, and other goals; Laboratory construction and commissioning; Operational maintenance to provide sustainable capabilities, safety, and security; and Measures for encouraging a culture of responsible conduct. Workshop attendees described the history and current challenges they face in their individual laboratories. Speakers recounted steps they were taking to improve safety and security, from running training programs to implementing a variety of personnel reliability measures. Many also spoke about physical security, access controls, and monitoring pathogen inventories. Workshop participants also identified tensions in the field and suggested possible areas for action.
Biosolids Applied to Land: Advancing Standards and Practicesby National Research Council
The 1993 regulation (Part 503 Rule) governing the land application of biosolids was established to protect public health and the environment from reasonably anticipated adverse effects. Included in the regulation are chemical pollutant limits, operational standards designed to reduce pathogens and the attraction of disease vectors, and management practices. This report from the Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology evaluates the technical methods and approaches used by EPA to establish those standards and practices, focusing specifically on human health protection. The report examines improvements in risk-assessment practices and advances in the scientific database since promulgation of the regulation, and makes recommendations for addressing public health concerns, uncertainties, and data gaps about the technical basis of the biosolids standards.
Blast Mitigation for Structures: 1999 Status Report on the DTRA/TSWG Programby National Research Council
The Blast Mitigation for Structures Program (BMSP) is a research and development activity conducted by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to improve the performance of buildings that are targets of terrorist attack. The primary goal of the BMSP is to reduce loss of life and injuries to the occupants of these buildings through the development of innovative techniques for new structures and retrofitting existing facilities. The committee's findings and recommendations are contained in this initial assessment report.
Blueprint for the Futureby National Research Council Policy and Global Affairs Committee on Status and Participation of Women in STEM Disciplines and Careers Catherin Didion Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine Willie Pearson Lisa M. Frehill
The scientific work of women is often viewed through a national or regional lens, but given the growing worldwide connectivity of most, if not all, scientific disciplines, there needs to be recognition of how different social, political, and economic mechanisms impact women's participation in the global scientific enterprise. Although these complex sociocultural factors often operate in different ways in various countries and regions, studies within and across nations consistently show inverse correlations between levels in the scientific and technical career hierarchy and the number of women in science: the higher the positions, the fewer the number of women. Understanding these complex patterns requires interdisciplinary and international approaches. In April 2011, a committee overseen by the National Academies' standing Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine (CWSEM) convened a workshop entitled, "Blueprint for the Future: Framing the Issues of Women in Science in a Global Context" in Washington, D.C. CWSEM's goals are to coordinate, monitor, and advocate action to increase the participation of women in science, engineering, and medicine. The scope of the workshop was limited to women's participation in three scientific disciplines: chemistry, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. The workshop presentations came from a group of scholars and professionals who have been working for several years on documenting, analyzing, and interpreting the status of women in selected technical fields around the world. Examination of the three disciplines-chemistry, computer science, and mathematics and statistics-can be considered a first foray into collecting and analyzing information that can be replicated in other fields. The complexity of studying science internationally cannot be underestimated, and the presentations demonstrate some of the evidentiary and epistemological challenges that scholars and professionals face in collecting and analyzing data from many different countries and regions. Blueprint for the Future: Framing the Issues of Women in Science in a Global Context summarizes the workshop presentations, which provided an opportunity for dialogue about the issues that the authors have been pursuing in their work to date.
Budgeting for Immigration Enforcementby National Research Council Peter Reuter Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education Malay Majmundar Committee on Law and Justice Steve Redburn Committee on Estimating Costs of Immigration Enforcement in the Department of Justice
Immigration enforcement is carried out by a complex legal and administrative system, operating under frequently changing legislative mandates and policy guidance, with authority and funding spread across several agencies in two executive departments and the courts. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for conducting immigration enforcement both at the border and in the United States; the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is responsible for conducting immigration removal procedures and criminal trials and for prosecuting people charged with immigration-related crimes. DOJ confronts at least five technical challenges to modeling its resource needs for immigration enforcement that are specific to the immigration enforcement system. Despite the inherent limitations, budgeting for immigration enforcement can be improved by changing the method for budgeting. Budgeting for Immigration Enforcement addresses how to improve budgeting for the federal immigration enforcement system, specifically focusing on the parts of that system that are operated and funded by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). The report recommends that DOJ establish policy-level procedures to plan and coordinate policy planning and implementation to improve performance of the immigration enforcement system. The report also recommends that DOJ and DHS accelerate their design of an integrated capacity to track cases and project immigration enforcement activity. Policy makers and others who are interested in how the nation's immigration enforcement system is organized and operates also will find it useful.
Building a Workforce for the Information Economyby National Research Council
A look at any newspaper's employment section suggests that competition for qualified workers in information technology (IT) is intense. Yet even experts disagree on not only the actual supply versus demand for IT workers but also on whether the nation should take any action on this economically important issue.Building a Workforce for the Information Age offers an in-depth look at IT. workers-where they work and what they do-and the policy issues they inspire. It also illuminates numerous areas that have been questioned in political debates: Where do people in IT jobs come from, and what kind of education and training matter most for them? Are employers' and workers' experiences similar or different in various parts of the country? How do citizens of other countries factor into the U.S. IT workforce? What do we know about IT career paths, and what does that imply for IT workers as they age? And can we measure what matters? The committee identifies characteristics that differentiate IT work from other categories of high-tech work, including an informative contrast with biotechnology. The book also looks at the capacity of the U.S. educational system and of employer training programs to produce qualified workers.
Capability Planning and Analysis to Optimize Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Investmentsby National Research Council Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences Committee on Examination of the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Capability Planning and Analysis (CPA&A) Process Air Force Studies Board
Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities have expanded situation awareness for U.S. forces, provided for more precise combat effects, and enabled better decision making both during conflicts and in peacetime, and reliance on ISR capabilities is expected to increase in the future. ISR capabilities are critical to 3 of the 12 Service Core Functions of the U.S. Air Force: namely, Global Integrated ISR (GIISR) and the ISR components of Cyberspace Superiority and Space Superiority, and contribute to all others. In response to a request from the Air Force for ISR and the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology, and Engineering, the National Research Council formed the Committee on Examination of the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Capability Planning and Analysis (CP&A) Process. In this report, the committee reviews the current approach to the Air Force corporate planning and programming process for ISR capability generation; examines carious analytical methods, processes, and models for large-scale, complex domains like ISR; and identifies the best practices for the Air Force. In Capability Planning and Analysis to Optimize Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Investments, the current approach is analyzed and the best practices for the Air Force corporate planning and programming processed for ISR are recommended. This report also recommends improvements and changes to existing analytical tools, methods, roles and responsibilities, and organization and management that would be required to ensure the Air Force corporate planning and programming process for ISR is successful in addressing all Joint, National, and Coalition partner's needs.
Capitalizing on New Needs and New Opportunities: Government-Industry Partnerships in Biotechnology and Information Technologiesby National Research Council Technology Board On Science Economic Policy
This report addresses a topic of recognized policy concern. To capture the benefits of substantial U.S. investments in biomedical R&D, parallel investments in a wide range of seemingly unrelated disciplines are also required. This report summarizes a major conference that reviewed our nation's R&D support for biotechnology and information technologies. The volume includes newly commissioned research and makes recommendations and findings concerning the important relationship between information technologies and biotechnology. It emphasizes the fall off in R&D investments needed to sustain the growth of the U.S. economy and to capitalize on the growing investment in biomedicine. It also encourages greater support for inter-disciplinary training to support new areas such as bioinformatics and urges more emphasis on and support for multi-disciplinary research centers.

Challenges and Opportunities in the Hydrologic Sciencesby National Research Council Water Science and Technology Board Division on Earth and Life Studies Committee on Challenges and Opportunities in the Hydrologic Sciences
New research opportunities to advance hydrologic sciences promise a better understanding of the role of water in the Earth system that could help improve human welfare and the health of the environment. Reaching this understanding will require both exploratory research to better understand how the natural environment functions, and problem-driven research, to meet needs such as flood protection, supply of drinking water, irrigation, and water pollution. Collaboration among hydrologists, engineers, and scientists in other disciplines will be central to meeting the interdisciplinary research challenges outline in this report. New technological capabilities in remote sensing, chemical analysis, computation, and hydrologic modeling will help scientists leverage new research opportunities.
Challenges in Adolescent Health Care: Workshop Reportby National Research Council Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Several positive and negative lifelong behaviors are established during adolescence including diet and exercise, sexual conduct, practices related to oral health, smoking, drinking, and the use if legal and illegal substances. The complex issues that adolescents deal with on a daily basis can turn into health problems that persist throughout adulthood. Unfortunately the adolescents who are frequently the most disconnected from routine health care services - those who lack insurance and family support - are often those at greatest risk for multiple and chronic health problems. Therefore, those that are responsible for delivering health care services to adolescents must address the health conditions that require immediate attention while preparing young people to adopt practices that can help improve their future health status and prevent unhealthy behaviors. Challenges in Adolescent Health Care studies adolescent health care in the United States, highlights critical health care needs, and identifies service models and components of care that may strengthen and improve health care services, settings, and systems for adolescents. The book explores the nature of adolescent challenges and how they reflect larger societal issues such as poverty, crime and the prevalence of violence. These issues, in addition to lack of comprehensive health coverage, dysfunctional families and the lack of support systems, make providing adequate health care incredibly challenging. Challenges in Adolescent Health Care defines high-quality health care, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of various service models and explores various training programs. The book recommends that health care providers must be sensitive to socioeconomic factors and incorporate health care in a broad array of settings including schools, neighborhoods and community centers.
Challenges in Characterizing Small Particlesby National Research Council Chemical Sciences Roundtable Division on Earth and Life Studies Joe Alper Tina Masciangioli Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology
Small particles are ubiquitous in the natural and built worlds and have tremendous impact throughout. However, a lack of understanding about the properties and chemical composition of small particles limits our ability to predict, and control their applications and impacts. Challenges in Characterizing Small Particles: Exploring Particles from the Nano- to Microscales summarizes presentations and discussions at a 2010 National Academies roundtable. Speakers at this roundtable discussed the crucial types of information that need to be determined about small particles in different media. They also explored the critical importance of small particles in environmental science, materials and chemical sciences, biological science, and engineering, and the many challenges involved in characterizing materials at the nano- and microscales. The discussions on characterization included static, dynamic, experimental, computational, and theoretical characterization. The workshop also included several "research tool" presentations that highlighted new advances in characterizing small particles.
Challenges in Chemistry Graduate Educationby National Research Council Division on Earth and Life Studies Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology Committee on Challenges in Chemistry Graduate Education; Board on Chemical Sciences
Chemistry graduate education is under considerable pressure. Pharmaceutical companies, long a major employer of synthetic organic chemists, are drastically paring back their research divisions to reduce costs. Chemical companies are opening new research and development facilities in Asia rather than in the United States to take advantage of growing markets and trained workforces there. Universities, especially public universities, are under significant fiscal constraints that threaten their ability to hire new faculty members. Future federal funding of chemical research may be limited as the federal budget tightens. All of these trends have major consequences for the education of chemistry graduate students in U.S. universities. To explore and respond to these intensifying pressures, the Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology held a workshop in Washington, DC, on January 23-24 2012, titled "Graduate Education in Chemistry in the Context of a Changing Environment." The workshop brought together representatives from across the chemical enterprise, representing leaders and future leaders of academia, industry, and government. The goal of the workshop was not to come to conclusions, but to have an open and frank discussion about critical issues affecting chemistry graduate education, such as the attraction and retainment of the most able students to graduate education, financial stressors on the current support model and their implications for the future model, competencies needed in the changing job market for Ph.D. chemists, and competencies needed to address societal problems such as energy and sustainability. Challenges in Chemistry Graduate Education: A Workshop Summary is organized into six chapters and summarizes the workshop on "Graduate Education in Chemistry in the Context of a Changing Environment."
The Changing Nature of Work : Implications for Occupational Analysisby National Research Council
Although there is great debate about how work is changing, there is a clear consensus that changes are fundamental and ongoing. The Changing Nature of Work examines the evidence for change in the world of work. The committee provides a clearly illustrated framework for understanding changes in work and these implications for analyzing the structure of occupations in both the civilian and military sectors.This volume explores the increasing demographic diversity of the workforce, the fluidity of boundaries between lines of work, the interdependent choices for how work is structured-and ultimately, the need for an integrated systematic approach to understanding how work is changing. The book offers a rich array of data and highlighted examples on: Markets, technology, and many other external conditions affecting the nature of work.Research findings on American workers and how they feel about work.Downsizing and the trend toward flatter organizational hierarchies.Autonomy, complexity, and other aspects of work structure. The committee reviews the evolution of occupational analysis and examines the effectiveness of the latest systems in characterizing current and projected changes in civilian and military work. The occupational structure and changing work requirements in the Army are presented as a case study.
Chemical and Biological Terrorism: Research and Development to Improve Civilian Medical Responseby National Research Council
The threat of domestic terrorism today looms larger than ever. Bombings at the World Trade Center and Oklahoma City's Federal Building, as well as nerve gas attacks in Japan, have made it tragically obvious that American civilians must be ready for terrorist attacks. What do we need to know to help emergency and medical personnel prepare for these attacks? Chemical and Biological Terrorism identifies the R&D efforts needed to implement recommendations in key areas: pre-incident intelligence, detection and identification of chemical and biological agents, protective clothing and equipment, early recognition that a population has been covertly exposed to a pathogen, mass casualty decontamination and triage, use of vaccines and pharmaceuticals, and the psychological effects of terror. Specific objectives for computer software development are also identified. The book addresses the differences between a biological and chemical attack, the distinct challenges to the military and civilian medical communities, and other broader issues. This book will be of critical interest to anyone involved in civilian preparedness for terrorist attack: planners, administrators, responders, medical professionals, public health and emergency personnel, and technology designers and engineers.
Children of Immigrants: Health, Adjustment, and Public Assistanceby Institute of Medicine National Research Council
Immigrant children and youth are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. population, and so their prospects bear heavily on the well-being of the country. Children of Immigrants represents some of the very best and most extensive research efforts to date on the circumstances, health, and development of children in immigrant families and the delivery of health and social services to these children and their families.This book presents new, detailed analyses of more than a dozen existing datasets that constitute a large share of the national system for monitoring the health and well-being of the U.S. population. Prior to these new analyses, few of these datasets had been used to assess the circumstances of children in immigrant families. The analyses enormously expand the available knowledge about the physical and mental health status and risk behaviors, educational experiences and outcomes, and socioeconomic and demographic circumstances of first- and second-generation immigrant children, compared with children with U.S.-born parents.
Children's Health, The Nation's Wealth: Assessing And Improving Child Healthby National Research Council Institute of Medicine of the National Academies
Children&#39s health has clearly improved over the past several decades. Significant and positive gains have been made in lowering rates of infant mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases and accidental causes, improved access to health care, and reduction in the effects of environmental contaminants such as lead. Yet major questions still remain about how to assess the status of children's health, what factors should be monitored, and the appropriate measurement tools that should be used. Children's Health, the Nation's Wealth: Assessing and Improving Child Health provides a detailed examination of the information about children's health that is needed to help policy makers and program providers at the federal, state, and local levels. In order to improve children's health -- and, thus, the health of future generations -- it is critical to have data that can be used to assess both current conditions and possible future threats to children's health. This compelling book describes what is known about the health of children and what is needed to expand the knowledge. By strategically improving the health of children, we ensure healthier future generations to come.

Széchenyi István tér information
Named Roosevelt tér in 1947 after the long-serving (1933–45) American president, this square has now been renamed to honour the statesmen and developer of Chain Bridge, which it faces. The square offers among the best views of Castle Hill in Pest.
On the southern end of Széchenyi István tér is a statue of Ferenc Deák , the Hungarian minister largely responsible for the Compromise of 1867, which brought about the Dual Monarchy of Austria and Hungary.
The statue on the western side is of an Austrian and a Hungarian child holding hands in peaceful bliss. The Magyar kid's hair is tousled and he is naked; the osztrák is demurely covered by a bit of the patrician's robe and his hair is neatly coiffed.
The Art Nouveau building with the gold tiles to the east is Gresham Palace , built by an English insurance company in 1907. It now houses the sumptuous Four Seasons Gresham Palace Hotel. The Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Magyar Tudományos Akadémia), founded by Count István Széchenyi, is at the northern end of the square.

'It's a Wonderful Life' times seven
If it wouldn't be Christmas without George Bailey, Uncle Billy, rotten old Mr. Potter, Clarence the angel and little Zuzu's petals, mark your calendars.
"It's a Wonderful Life" will air twice on NBC - including Christmas Eve, the perfect time to watch it - and play for free five times at the Regent Square Theater. Those big-screen showings are courtesy of Pittsburgh Filmmakers.
NBC plans to air the movie Dec. 13 from 8 to 11 p.m. and on Christmas Eve, also 8 to 11 p.m. Through a process called Descriptive TheatreVision, the movie will be described for the blind and visually impaired by former President George Bush.
If you want to take the family to see the movie on the big screen, head for the Regent Square at 8 p.m. on Dec. 19, 20, 21 and 22. A 5 p.m. show also will be held on Saturday, Dec. 20. At a time when virtually nothing is free, this is truly a gift.
The film is set in Bedford Falls, where small-time banker George Bailey (Jimmy Stewart) decides he might be worth more dead than alive - until an angel shows him what his hometown, family and friends would be like had he never lived. It's a charmer, a tear-jerker and an inspiration.

Gaming on a budget
Subject: Systems | March 27, 2008 - 01:41 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It would be nice to be able to spend $1200 on your graphics sub system alone, but most people can't really afford a pair of 9800 GX2s. Many can't even afford to spend a full $1200 on the entire PC. Legion Hardware has been doing some hard core research, and have put together a budget conscious gaming PC for just under $1000. If that is your financial sweet spot, the check out this build.

So, do you think you might get funny looks for parking your junker car on someones lawn, then asking for $50 to remove it? Yeah, Sony doesn't seem to think so....
Opinion – A "Fresh Start" is something many users give their PCs

with a new PC. Sony is offering that option for a $50 premium – and
promises that you won't get hit with loads of crapware in return.

With a starting price of $1,249, the XPS 630 delivers stellar performance with the latest technology and innovative features, all in sleek, compact brushed-aluminum chassis.
Gamers won't outgrow the XPS 630 as since it's based on a standard ATX chassis, making future upgrades easy. It's ATI CrossFire and NVIDIA SLI-ready, and will support Corsair memory and Intel Extreme processors. Gamers can tweak performance by overclocking processor and memory through the control panel.

The first is for the gamer, and while it doesn't have Crossfire or SLI, it should still be able to handle almost anything you throw at it. The second is a more extreme system built around an EPIA processor, but with a draw of 58.4-97.3W, it certainly won't add onto your power bill, or your carbon footprint.

Lederman Gives His Take on Mayweather's Maidana Win
by David P. Greisman
HBO's longtime unofficial ringside judge Harold Lederman caught up with BoxingScene.com on June 6, talking about what he thought about Floyd Mayweather's May win over Marcos Maidana.
BoxingScene.com: What did you think of the fight between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Marcos Maidana?
Lederman: "Oh my god, I thought that it was a terrific fight. David, I tell you something, watching it on TV, you know the way I've said many times, if you listen to me, that sometimes a fight is hard to score off the TV, and I thought that was the case in the Maidana fight. We knew what Maidana was doing, when he would get Floyd Mayweather up on the ropes and hurt him with those right hands over the top, certainly those were rounds that he won.
"On the other hand, it was hard to judge what Floyd was doing, because you lose the velocity of the punch watching it on TV. There's no way you could tell how hard Floyd was hitting him. And the people that were on the apron at ringside said that Floyd won most of the rounds because of the fact that he hit him harder, you know, landed the harder, cleaner punches.
"But you couldn't see it watching it off the TV. Nobody could tell me that they really could judge the velocity of Floyd Mayweather's punch in the Maidana fight. It was virtually impossible. People will say that he was landing short shots, hard shots, but to be honest with you, to judge the velocity was very, very tough off the TV. I thought that Floyd won. I thought that it was a little bit closer than the 117-111 one of the judges had it. Michael Pernick had it a draw. He probably was closest to the truth as I saw it.
"I thought Floyd won, but I thought Maidana won a number of those rounds from pinning Mayweather up on the ropes and rocking him with that right hand over the top. Especially in rounds 1 to 5, Maidana might've lost the second round, but the rest of those rounds, it certainly looked like Maidana was doing very well. And I thought he did pretty well in those last two rounds, also."
BoxingScene.com: Were you surprised at the way the fight went?
Lederman: "Nope. Maidana's got that style. We saw the way he beat up Adrien Broner, a real good fighter, with that same style. He just keeps coming forward, never stops, got a good jaw. He doesn't get marked up. He doesn't get cut up. He's an amazing guy. He really is. Boy, you talk about the Argentine fighter. If he's not prototypical of the Argentine fighter, who is?"
BoxingScene.com: I know the talk beforehand was that Broner is not Mayweather, though. Do you see any signs of Mayweather aging?
Lederman: "No. No. I think Floyd's as good as he ever was. Floyd's terrific. His conditioning is magnificent. The hand speed is still there. He can box. He gets smarter with each and every fight. He learns, the way that fighters do in each and every fight. He's still got the shoulder roll. Not easy to hit. Floyd's a tough out for anybody."

Skimpy health law plans leave some 'underinsured'
WASHINGTON -- For workers who make modest wages and struggle with high medical bills from chronic disease, the Affordable Health Care Act sounds like long-awaited relief. But the promise could go unfulfilled, some critics say.
It's true that patients with cancer and difficult conditions such as multiple sclerosis or Crohn's disease will be able to get insurance and financial help with monthly premiums. But their annual out-of-pocket costs could still be so high they'll have trouble staying out of debt.
You couldn't call them uninsured any longer. You might say they're "underinsured."
These gaps "need to be addressed in order to fulfill the intention of the Affordable Care Act," said Brian Rosen, a senior vice president of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. "There are certainly challenges for cancer patients."
"Cost may still be an issue for those in need of the most care," said Steven Weiss, spokesman for the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. That "makes it critically important for patients looking at premiums to also consider out-of-pocket costs when choosing a plan."
Those include a health plan's annual deductible, which is the amount before insurance starts paying, as well as any copayments and cost-sharing.
A few numbers tell the story. Take someone under 65 with no access to health insurance on the job and making $24,000 a year -- about what many service jobs pay. Under the law, that person's premiums would be capped below 7 percent of his income, about $130 a month. A stretch on a tight budget, yet doable. But if he gets really sick or has an accident, his out-of-pocket expenses could go as high as $5,200 a year in a worst-case scenario. That's even with additional financial subsidies that the law provides people with modest incomes and high out-of-pocket costs.
The $5,200 would be more than 20 percent of the person's income, well above a common threshold for being underinsured.
"Chronically ill people are likely to be underinsured and face extremely high out-of-pocket costs," said Caroline Pearson, who tracks the health-care overhaul for Avalere Health, a consulting firm. "While the subsidies help, there still may be access problems for some populations."
Under the law, insurance companies competing in new online markets like HealthCare.gov can offer four levels of coverage. All plans cover the same benefits; the difference is in financial protection. A bronze plan covers 60 percent of expected costs, silver covers 70 percent, gold covers 80 percent, and platinum covers 90 percent.
Bronze plans have the lowest premiums but provide less insurance. Gold plans are the closest to employer-provided coverage. Indeed, members of Congress and staffers who will now get their coverage through the health-care law have been steered to gold plans.
Silver, however, is the standard for most consumers. The law's tax credits to help with premiums are keyed to a benchmark silver plan in each geographical area. And the law's subsidies to help with out-of-pocket costs are only available to people who get a silver plan.
Avalere said the average annual deductible for silver plans is $2,567, more than twice what workers in employer plans face. Many silver plans have high cost-sharing prescription rules, particularly for "specialty drugs."

Flyers Notes
With Chris Pronger sidelined by an eye injury, the Flyers defense has struggled to clear the front of the net.
But there is another area that has suffered dramatically - the power play.
Entering Saturday night, the Flyers were 1 for 23 (4.3 percent) on the power play in the five games Pronger had missed. Before that, they were 11 for 40 (27.5 percent).
Pronger quarterbacks the power play from the point.
The Flyers have also missed Danny Briere, Matt Read, and James van Riemsdyk - all of whom man the power play - for some games because of injuries.

The Robbinsville softball team advanced to the championship game of the Little League World Series, beating Tallmadge, Ohio, 11-1 tonight for a fifth straight win and leaving Robbinsville as the only undefeated team in the tournament.
Robbinsville, the champion of the East Region, will play for the title tomorrow against the Southwest winner, Bossier City, La., a team they beat 12-1 on Sunday. Southwest narrowly defeated the Southeast team from Columbus, Ga., 2-1 in the first semifinal game.
"We practice like we're going to play a game and we do everything we need to do in practice. The girls are well prepared," Coach Scott Veisz said ahead of tonight's game. "We coaches just help them to stay focused on what they're trying to accomplish, and that's key — helping each other and working as a team, not as individuals."
This is the second straight year Robbinsville has sent its 11- and 12-year-old squad to the World Series in Portland, Ore., and Veisz said it's been a great experience for the girls.
"It's been really great. It's an amazing time for the girls," he said. "Little League does a great job in providing for them."
The team beat Victoria, British Columbia (Canada), 3-0 on Thursday before picking up its second win Friday after a forfeit by Iloilo Province, Philippines (Asia-Pacific). On Monday, the team beat the West team from Chico, Calif., 11-1 to reach the semifinal.

Large swathes of the globe may be struggling with hunger, disease and poverty, but here at CES some manufacturers are focused on an entirely different topic: The little things that get under your skin. That is to say, the quibbles. The darn its." The minor annoyances in life. Remember the "One Laptop Per Child" sub-$150 tablet from last year's CES, one of the few stabs at a humanitarian effort on the sprawling show floor? Well, that thing is toast. OLPC killed it last fall. Sadly, the numbers just didn't work out (though a newer effort is reportedly close to launch). What does sell, however, is all the junk hanging on the shelf when you walk into the Apple store or browse the Verizon kiosk in the mall. It's the little stuff. Case the first: The CordCruncher, a set of earbuds sheathed in a rubber hose, aimed to keep your cords from tangling and knotting up in your pocket — the quintessential frustration of gym-goers taking a power lunch hour to hit the gym and lift. Minor? Perhaps. Maddening? Almost certainly. Twenty-five bucks puts an end to that headache.

An ensemble of snoring individuals, within the same room.
"Oh snap bro, did you hear Erick and Donald in there last night?! They made quite the snorechestra!"

Can you define these popular missing words?
When multiple people in a single room are sleeping and snoring, keeping other people in the room awake. These often happen in hotel rooms on family trips, busses, and hostels.
My parent's grand symphony snorechestra kept me up until two in the morning until I subtly threw a pillow at them from across the hotel room.

Hitman: Absolution
Thats it im done with this game, snapping it in half right now
- Boards
- Hitman: Absolution
- Thats it im done with this game, snapping it in half right now
Rooftops - Sneaking again, get past the helicopter by using cover (simply hiding behind it doesn work)
Shangri-La - this was lotsa of fun for me. I went left as I came in to the room with the guy sat with a bong. the cops talk to him and then go to a position you can sneak past. There is a cop talking to a guy at his door when you pass - throw something near him to distract him and sneak in the room, around the far side to put on some music where the cops come in for a dance party - back out that same door you go and beeline for the elevator.
Train Station - Move through the crowd, stopping still when you raise suspicion. Go trackside and there is a ledge you can shimmy out on to a window into the conductors office - climb a ladder and you can click a button to activate platform B. There was a guy up there (not a guard) I hid in the box but I dont know if he would have been alerted even if I hadn't. With the switch activated leave the door in the same room as the switch and youll be on the overpass - make your way to platform B blending with the crowds still.
Whole thing was done with no spots and no costume changes - on Normal so nothing special, but if TC is struggling hopefully this can give him some help.
NOBODY is gonna rest in peace.. UNTIL YOU'VE PAID ALL YOUR TAXES!
I just did this whole level so now I actually know what TC is talking about. The problem is you're trying to go up the stairs. You're supposed to go to the control room. I went through this level from library to the train with no costume changes, no detections, no killing or subduing anyone, all on my first try. It was pretty simple actually. Was a good pure stealth level.
PSN: Sion_Fenixx
In order to fear something, you must know fear. In order to know fear, you must be scared. In order to be scared, you must know me.
This is where people are missing the fun of the Hitman games...it's all trial and error. You said you couldn't get past the cops in the train station, but have you searched the area or tried the same failed formula over and over again?
On platform A, walk along the edge of the track. You will find an open window, climb inside and climb the ladder to the platform B control room. Activate the controls, sneak by or take out the guy on the phone, then walk out the door onto platform B. To avoid the cops on platform B while the train arrives, walk to the farthest end and stand in the corner.
You can't just run and gun with the cops. This took me several tries to figure out, but no where near 40 (I think you're exaggerating)
The cops spotted me in the crowd in the last moment just as the train was arriving. I grabbed one of them as a hostage, knocked him out and rushed to the train's door. Cops started shooting from automatic weapons all over the place hitting me and civilians. I barely made it out, but it was ridiculous. The train left as they were still blazing guns in the cutscene.
That was the only absurd AI behaivor I've encountered so far.

this game is too easy! why people hating? people have been dumbed down by CoD so i guess a game that is not CoD easy simply sucks LOL TC must be a 12 yr old
MetallicaOpeth 4 years ago#47
the train platforms were definitely causing me an issue, but the thing is you seem to want to go straight up the stairs on platform A to the overpass in clear vision, you definitely can't do this on harder difficulties.
go to where the vendor sells tickets and snoop around ;)
