So I am writing this after we left India so I guess we have had time to reflet and recover. We had already been to Goa before on holiday so had a very rough idea what lay in store for us.
At first it was hard, although everyone spoke english it was indian holiday time which meant everywhere and everything was packed booking trains was a nightmare, it was almost time for the monsoons which meant the heat was on average 45 deg everyday with stifling humidity so getting used to having wet clothes and sweating ALL the time and only having your clothes hand washed sucked big time.
All the stories from people before we left who had travelled before said how great it was and how much fun you will have but India didn't start off like that….
So everything closes around 11pm so partying isn't really an option, over packed trains that were so difficult to book due to the holidays and generally getting used to travelling, the dirtiness, smells, the beeping of horns constantly and the flies, the packing and unpacking of your bag, always being in a new place getting lost and being unsure of where you were sleeping was unsettling for the first week or so but we soon got used to it and moving on to somewhere new was exciting and the noise and the smells became normal.
Don't get me wrong there were definitely a few days after a long journey with rubbish sleep on a train due to the annoyance of being woken at 5.30am or during the night by people with absolutely no consideration that you might want to still be asleep, then having to be alert enough to get a taxi that was not going to scam you and hope he would take you to take you where you wanted to go and not his brother, uncle, cousin or sons hotel, then having to look at 2 or 3 different places as they are so dirty with your heavy pack on every bit of clothing on you wet with sweat, passing shops all shouting at you over the noise of the horns in the street, beggars tugging ur arm for money, avoiding stepping on the huge piles of shite in the street or manoeuvring past a giant cow with ur backpack on in a small alley and then finally haggle the price of your hotel room – all that when you are starving and shattered can make for two grumpy travellers haha. It is as horrific as it sounds but in some strange way you soon get used to it and you learn not to hear it all and people become invisible your only mission is to get to your room, get your backpack & wet clothes off and get into the shower asap.
So it was around 4 weeks in before we met any other "westerners" that we could sit and have a beer and a laugh with which was great – it was only then that many of them said that India has been one of the most difficult countries to travel and the most testing of your patience. It was great for us to hear that as we didn't know any better since this was our first country travelling.
We were in India 7 weeks and didn't scratch the surface of it really there is so much to explore, the culture the religion the people its just so much to take in. On one hand so many people were so nice and helpful and on the other all they see is white rich westerners and want you money. You can spend hours just sitting watching people go about their life – watching people going about their business, the traffic in the streets, the markets the crazy driving the overtaking on outside bends on mountain roads– it alls seems just utter chaos but somehow in India its organised chaos it just works !! Its all about the horns BEEP BEEP !!!
As for the food we ate in loads of cheap hole in the wall places where the locals eat and you sweep the flies out of the way as you walk in but the food was always decent, we ate in a few fairly fancy restaurants too but no matter how many times I asked for very very spicy I just didn't get any super hot food.
Overall though we loved India it was challenging at times but really glad we went and would definitely go back travelling again, it definitely made us appreciate the things we have and how lucky we are to have the life we do in the UK. The people in India are so proud of their family its the most important thing to them so long as they can eat and if possible provide schooling for their children they generally seem content - of course there is a darker side to the poverty but on the whole the people we met were happy and smiling.
So here are a few things we noticed & some tips …. - No buggie or pushchairs all the kids are carried or on the back of mopeds even babies
- Beeping the horn is CONSTANT and the louder the better
- Getting your change in a shop seems to take AGES they always have to go out back for it
- Cows, water buffallo, monkeys, dogs, cats, goats, chickens roam the streets everywhere
- Everyone wants you to look in their shop and if you say maybe later and happen to walk by again the next day …the remember you and ask why you didn't come back
- Almost all of the people were quite helpful (providing they didn't have something to sell you)
- Chai tea which is sold everywhere is just milk and 2 sugars but on the odd occasion and without warning you get it with a cardamon seed in it so as you sip thinking its normal chai you get funky tea – although its nice its annoying!
- Going in May/June means its school holidays and all the trains are full all the time which makes it a nightmare booking trains – most of the big stations have tourist quotas you can get though
Never let a tut tut driver take you to a hotel as they get commission which in turn makes your room more expensive – always pick the area with the hotel in lonely planet and head to this area and get rid of the tut tut
- Rickshaw drivers taking you on day tours will always want you to stop at shops on the way to get you to buy things – again making commission
- Taking a tour guide on Taj Mahal (they are beside the place with lockers) its well worth it but they try to charge 700R but we paid 150R but since he took such cool tips we gave him 300R
- When getting a hotel room - look at the rooms first then ask the price then take a good few hundred rupees off the price – haggle it out with them to the point of picking up your bags and walking away generally gets you the price you are after (once or twice we have left and maybe went back though)
ROUGH COST OF THINGS - this is in Rupees then �
We manged to get by on a daily budget of �28 for two people and we did everything we wanted to a few tours and definitely a few beers too.
Average double room with a toilet – all our rooms were fairly decent but varied from place to place 500R – �7
Cost of a meal for 2 in a local Indian eatery including water – 250R – �3.50
Cost of a meal in a normaish restaurant for two with no alcohol – 500R - �7.02
Cost of a large bottle of kingfisher 150R – 2.11 but if you found the government shops they were 75R - �1.00
A one litre bottle of water 15R – 20p
Cost of average train journey in sleeper class was 700R – �9.50 for 2 people/for 3AC this would be �25 for two
Cost of a cup of Chai 5R – 0.7p
Cost for spaghetti neapolitan in most places 120R �1.68
Cost of one loo roll – 40R – 56p
Cost for 1 night 2 day trip for two from Kochi to Munnar tea plantation including accom & driver – 4200R - �61
Cost of a 250g packet of golden virgina tobacco – 220R - �3.09
Cost of 20 menthol cigarettes – 100R - �1.40


text: I just started bee keeping last spring. I started with two hives. They both did well until the first of Sept. One hive is doing great but I noticed the other wasn't thriving as well. I fed both hives 2:1 syrup (inside frame feeder)and pollen patties. When I checked the hives this week, one is still doing great but the other is full of dead bees, has beetles and a spider like web, and almost no capped honey or brood. I know it won't make it thru the winter, so my question is----What do I do with it? What do I do with the drawn comb and the frames? Can I freeze them for the winter and put them in a new hive in the spring? Should I throw them away? CanI clean and sterilize them so they can be reused? I don't want to infect another hive but I hate to throw them out.

2003 WRX 2.0 Turbo. My general sense is that a warm compression test is ideal. However, I have a unique situation. The turbo is OUT, and I'd like to get an indication of the condition of the engine. The best I can do at this time is a cold compression test. I plan to do a warm test again later.
Here's the question. Can a (cold) compression test be done with the turbo off? Does that matter? What will happen when (or what is the risk of) cranking with turbo out?
I appreciate any insight from those who know.

Great idea but not effective for fighting blemishes or concealing them.however the pore perfecting clay mask and the pore perfecting night gel cream from the range are fantastic.I have oily skin and get breakouts and using the mask twice a week and the night cream everynight has done wonders for my skin and cleared it up.Great if your skin can be kinda reactive like mine.Really cheap and really effective.try them!!

Thankfully, it looks like it's indeed coming as Dell's director of marketing for the EMEA small business channel confirmed the inevitable truth. Specifically, Erik Day showed off several Dell Streak 7 tablets at IFA running the newest build of Honeycomb (version 3.2).
Previously, one of the obstacles that prevented them from bringing Honeycomb is that previous builds, specifically v3.0 and v3.1, did not offer flexibility for other display resolutions. Meaning, they were catered to run on tablets sporting display sizes of 10.1-inches – like the ones on the Motorola XOOM and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Wi-Fi only version of the tablet. However, Dell didn't spill the beans regarding an actual release date for the highly anticipated update, but the rumors still suggest a September time frame.

Aphex Twin is one of the greatest producers in the history of electronic music, an eccentric genius who can effortlessly vacillate between proto-dubstep ragers like "Come to Daddy" and soothingly melodic ambient music, sometimes within the same song. Although he's been largely absent from the scene for well over a decade, Aphex Twin -- aka Richard D. James -- was wildly prolific during the 1990s, producing a staggering number of albums, EPs, and singles under a variety of aliases.
One of those albums was an unreleased 1994 LP entitled Caustic Window, of which only a limited number of vinyl test pressings were produced. Earlier this year, a Kickstarter campaign was launched for 500 digital copies of the album, following the sale of a rare physical copy of that album on eBay. With the digital copies released and the eBay auction closed, it appeared that the saga of one of the great lost electronic albums was finally at a close, and it is, but with an interesting footnote: the person who made the successful eBay bid of $46,300 is none other than Markus "Notch" Persson, the man behind the hugely popular video game Minecraft.
"So I kinda paid a lot for a double LP from the '90s.." Persson wrote on his Twitter yesterday, leading to speculation that he was either the winning bidder for Caustic Window or that he spent way too much on a vinyl copy of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. Persson's purchase of the album was confirmed today by We Are the Music Makers user Joyrex, the person behind the Kickstarter campaign.
Calling him a "really cool guy," Joyrex said on the WATMM boards that "My daughter was blown away that the guy who made the game she endlessly plays bought a record off her dad for 46K." We're all a little blown away, although in truth, we should have suspected this, as Aphex Twin's carefully constructed '90s ambient music is the perfect soundtrack for carefully constructing block-worlds that look like '90s video games.
In any event, Persson is phenomenally wealthy and spending more on an album than most people make in a year is an indulgence he can afford. Meanwhile, someone went ahead and uploaded Caustic Window to YouTube (it's embedded above), so the rest of us can enjoy the collectors item for the low price of nothing. Much of the proceeds of the auction went to charity (a fact that Persson apparently wasn't aware of when he made his winning bid), Aphex Twin got paid for an album he never actually released, and his fans got new music to satiate them until he finally decides to release the 10 or 11 completed albums he's just sitting on. For the first time in the history of the music business, everyone wins.

Well, they only published it because I submitted it. For those of you who don't live in Jacksonville, FL and don't have access to the Folio Weekly, here is the backpage (teased on the magazine's cover) editorial I submitted. This 'alternative newspaper' devotes plenty of page space to reader feed back on editorials, and because most of the readers are extremely liberal I have a feeling they will be publishing alot of hate mail attacking my position.
For those of you living in Northeast Florida, feel free to mail in informative rebuttals to the Folio Weekly if you notice them publishing uninformed hate mail over the next couple of weeks.
Here's the editorial:
I remember my latest visit to the St. John's Town Center, man was I sweating bullets. It wasn't the scorching Florida sun that got to me, nor the astronomical prices of the restaurants or even my typical American male ignorance of effective shopping techniques.
It was my first time carrying a concealed pistol in public, and I was worried that somebody would recognize that the clinking sound I made as I walked was not the change in my pocket but the .38 Special +p live rounds ominously shifting back and forth in the cylinder of my concealed Smith and Wesson 637. Although I took extreme care in dressing around my gun to eliminate any 'printing' or surface visibility, I felt that I had a neon sign glowing over my head and any minute I would hear a blood curdling scream sending hundreds of people clogging the plaza would disperse in all directions crying bloody murder about a guy with a gun.
Turns out my fears of unintentionally inciting a mass panic attack never happened. To calm my nerves, I began initiating small talk with store clerks and even the random shopper. Nobody noticed a thing, nobody became unnerved and nobody even glanced at the location of my gun. They had no idea, and I was comfortable with that.
Soon enough carrying a loaded gun everywhere I went became just as routine as carrying my wallet and cell phone. I almost forgot what that initial feeling of nervousness felt like until the week of Oct. 22-26, when I openly displayed my empty holster on my hip in one of the few remaining gun-free zones: class at the Florida Community College at Jacksonville - South Campus.
It was much to my surprise as I openly displayed my holster, in my part of the nation-wide 6,000 member Students for Concealed Carry on Campus Empty Holster protest from Oct. 22-26, that relatively few classmates even noticed the holster despite it hanging out for all to see.
Why is it against the law to carry a legal weapon on campus but perfectly OK to carry it just down the road?
Some may say that concealed weapons pose a threat to children. I would be surprised if the young lady that rang me up at Barnes & Noble was even old enough to buy a pack of smokes. Others may say that the stresses and frustrations experienced in the classroom are enough to make even responsible young adults do stupid and violent things. I made the mistake of taking JTB Eastbound home from the St. John's Town Center, needless to say that the unexpected hour-long commute combined with the extremely common inconsiderate Jacksonville driver was more stressful than any class assignment I have ever completed!
Of course, there are still those who will just persist that guns just don't mix with academics:
"I think it's fair to say that we believe guns don't belong in the classroom," said Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker in an April 13, 2005 interview with The Roanoke Times regarding a student who was arrested by campus police for possession of a concealed firearm despite the fact the student held a state-issued concealed carry permit. "In an academic environment, we believe you should be free from fear."
What I don't understand is how am I creating an atmosphere of fear if my weapon is concealed? I failed to alarm the hundreds of shoppers in the St. John's Town Center that first afternoon, and I failed to do little more than raise a few eyebrows even fully displaying the tool I use to carry a lethal weapon wherever I go.
There's a good chance that you have brushed shoulders with someone legally carrying a weapon and you were none the wiser. More than a million concealed weapons licenses have been issued in the state of Florida from 1987 to Jan. 2007. In the same time frame, only 158 (0.014 percent) of the 1,136,496 permits have been revoked due to gun crimes by permit holders. We're not the 'bad guys' and our weapons are no threat to you as long as you don't attempt to threaten our lives.
What should scare you is that an estimated 200 million firearms in the United States are available to potential killers, criminals and scum through legal means (if they have yet to commit a crime) or illegal means. If one has the will, no matter what legal obstacles stand in the way, one can find a way to harm someone.
Sound scary? It should, but what's even scarier is the fact that as gun control laws get tighter with every shooting, criminals gain firepower against law-abiding citizens who are increasingly handicapped in their ability to defend themselves. Across the United States, students and faculty at every educational institution with the exception of a select few campuses in Utah are completely vulnerable to not only increasingly-common school shootings, but ordinary violent crimes as well.
Thankfully, in order to actually obtain a concealed weapons permit in the state of Florida, one must undergo a safety course that teaches basic weapons handling as well as familiarizes permit applicants with Florida Statutes that regulate self defense. All of this comes with several hefty fees (especially for a poor college student), not to mention the price of the gun and holster itself. Between the education and price, I can say with confidence that the only ones legally carrying out there are the ones who refuse to be victims, not irresponsible students or the perpetrators who wish for us to live in fear.
As a victim to a violent crime, I can personally tell you that being unarmed and vulnerable to an armed aggressor is an extremely frightening experience. The fact that I was only a 911 call, several rings and a several minute response time away from police assistance was not very helpful. I was at the mercy of the aggressor, thankfully he only had my money and the
contents of the cash register on his mind in lieu of murder for the sick thrill of it. I don't believe that the little blue emergency poles that dot the University of North Florida would be much more helpful in saving you from an imminent threat.
I refuse to become a victim again, and I'm positive anyone who has been overpowered by an armed adversary would agree with me that being sufficiently armed is the only hope of defense one can have aside from hoping a police officer is in sight.
It's time for Americans stop thinking with their hearts and fire up their minds. Guns exist, and to stick your head in the sand and think written laws against guns on campus will save you or your school-age children is a dangerous attitude. This is the only time fighting fire with fire will ever work; because while laws against rape or murder won't prevent the crime from being committed and another person victimized at that very moment, a well-placed bullet always will.
If you're uncomfortable with the idea of carrying a weapon, it's your decision to risk being at the mercy of an armed aggressor. However you feel, do not limit my ability to defend myself or even those in my immediate vicinity from death or serious bodily harm. Bearing a firearm isn't paranoia, it's the ultimate life insurance policy: the one that may mean the difference between life and death shall the worst happen to the best of us.
Well written; I especially liked the last two paragraphs!
Excellant letter! I think you made the point as eloquently as anyone. Please keep us up to date on any responses.
"A well-educated electorate, being necessary to the continuance of a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed."
Is this hard to understand? Then why does it get unintelligible to some people when 5 little words are changed?
Yes, very well written. I agree with bob, let us know what responses your article gets back from the other readers.

WHITEHOUSE STATION N.J. & WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Merck, known as MSD outside the United States and Canada, (NYSE: MRK) and Endocyte Inc. (NASDAQ: ECYT), today announced that they have entered into an agreement to develop and commercialize Endocyte's novel investigational therapeutic candidate vintafolide (EC145). Vintafolide is currently being evaluated in a Phase III clinical trial for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, (PROCEED trial) and a Phase II trial for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); both studies are also using Endocyte's investigational companion diagnostic agent, etarfolatide (EC20).
"Vintafolide is a promising and innovative late-stage cancer drug candidate. In addition to pursuing the lead indication of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, Merck plans to further evaluate its potential for treatment of multiple other cancer types," said Peter S. Kim, executive vice president and president Merck Research Laboratories. "This agreement underscores our strategy of building a portfolio of oncology therapeutics that employ a companion diagnostic to facilitate selection of those patients most likely to respond to treatment."
Under the agreement, Merck, through a subsidiary, will gain worldwide rights to develop and commercialize vintafolide. Endocyte will receive a $120 million upfront payment and is eligible for milestone payments of up to $880 million based on the successful achievement of development, regulatory and commercialization goals for vintafolide for a total of six cancer indications. In addition, if vintafolide receives regulatory approval, Endocyte will receive an equal share of the profit in the United States (U.S.) as well as a double digit percentage royalty on sales of the product in the rest of the world. Endocyte has retained the right to co-promote vintafolide with Merck in the U.S. and Merck has the exclusive right to promote vintafolide in the rest of world. Endocyte will be responsible for the majority of funding and completion of the PROCEED trial. Merck will be responsible for all other development activities and costs and have all decision rights for vintafolide. Endocyte remains responsible for the development, manufacture and commercialization worldwide of etarfolatide, a non-invasive companion diagnostic imaging agent that is used to identify folate receptor positive tumor cells.
"Following a rigorous selection process we believe Merck represents the ideal strategic partner to achieve the full potential of vintafolide, accelerating our development in numerous cancers," said Ron Ellis, Endocyte's president and chief executive officer. "The agreement also positions us well to build our own commercial infrastructure for vintafolide in the U.S. and for etarfolatide worldwide."
Endocyte has completed three single arm studies of vintafolide in patients with advanced platinum resistant ovarian cancer, non-small cell lung cancer and solid tumors. In a randomized Phase II clinical trial (PRECEDENT) comparing vintafolide plus pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) versus PLD alone in women with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, vintafolide demonstrated a statistically significant delay in disease progression or death in the overall population, with the largest improvement observed in patients with all tumors imaged as positive for folate receptor expression utilizing etarfolatide. Vintafolide in combination showed limited additional toxicity versus standard therapy with PLD alone. Common adverse events observed with this combination were neutropenia, fatigue, mouth sores, and redness/swelling/pain on the hands and feet.
In March 2012, Endocyte announced that the European Union had granted orphan drug status to vintafolide, and that the company planned to file a marketing authorization application in the third quarter of 2012.
Closing of the transaction is contingent upon obtaining Hart-Scott Rodino clearance from the Federal Trade Commission.
Conference Call
Endocyte will host a conference call and webcast at 8:30am ET today to discuss the agreement. To listen to the conference call, please dial 877-845-0711 or 760-298-5081. A replay of the call will be available beginning at 11:30am ET today. To access the replay, please dial 855-859-2056 or 404-537-3406 and reference the conference ID 72307636.

About Vintafolide (EC145)
Vintafolide is a proprietary, injectable, conjugate consisting of folate (vitamin B9) linked to a potent vinca alkaloid chemotherapy agent, desacetylvinblastine monohydrazide (DAVLBH). Vintafolide is designed to preferentially target the chemotherapy agent to fast growing cancer cells that actively take up folate via the folate receptor. The folate receptor is expressed in a wide variety of cancers including ovarian, NSCLC, breast, colon and kidney.
About Etarfolatide (EC20)
Etarfolatide is a folate-targeted molecular imaging agent that is being developed as a non-invasive method to identify tumors that over-express folate receptors. These tumors are the molecular target of Endocyte's folate-targeted therapeutic compounds such as vintafolide. To date, etarfolatide has been administered to over 550 patients.
About the PROCEED Trial
The PROCEED trial is a Phase III randomized, double-blind clinical trial evaluating vintalofide in combination with PLD compared to PLD plus placebo for the treatment of folate-receptor positive platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. The primary endpoint of the trial is progression-free survival as measured by RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumor) criteria in patients with folate-receptor positive tumors assessed by etarfolatide imaging. Overall survival is a secondary endpoint. The trial anticipates recruiting more than 400 patients at approximately 150 sites in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Asia. For further information regarding the PROCEED trial please visit http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

About Endocyte
Endocyte is a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer and inflammatory diseases. Endocyte uses its proprietary technology to create novel Small Molecule Drug Conjugates (SMDCs) and companion imaging diagnostics for personalized targeted therapies. The company's SMDCs actively target receptors that are over-expressed on diseased cells, relative to healthy cells. This targeted approach is designed to enable the treatment of patients with highly active drugs at greater doses, delivered more frequently, and over longer periods of time than would be possible with the untargeted drug alone. The companion imaging diagnostics are designed to identify patients whose disease over-expresses the target of the therapy and who are therefore more likely to benefit from treatment.

Motorcycle travel used to be simple. Load up the bike with a tarp and a sleeping bag, get out the map and ride. Simplicity has given way to technology, as there are now GPS solutions designed specifically for bikes.
"GPS" stands for "Global Positioning System," shorthand for the satellite-based navigation system that forms the basis for live mapping. A network of 24 NavStar satellites was completed in 1993, and became operational in 1994. Four satellites signals are needed at any given moment to calculate a user's position. Until 2000, non-military users only had access to a degraded signal, which limited GPS's accuracy. Since 2000, GPS accuracy has been greatly improved for consumers. The U.S. Department of Defense is responsible by law for maintaining GPS as a national resource, under the direction of the National Space-Based Positioning, Navigation and Timing Executive Committee.
Consumer GPS units used to be expensive, bulky, delicate and power hungry. Advances in electronics have reversed all of these characteristics.
Here's what to look for in a motorcycle GPS unit:
Weatherproof: Unlike a car GPS unit, a motorcycle GPS is going to be out in the wind and the weather, just like you. Most bike GPS units are designed with weather-tight ports and housings for riding in the rain and cold. In some cases, you might be able to get away with buying a weather-proof case for your GPS.
Easy to operate: Make sure that your GPS can be operated while wearing your gloves. Try out the unit with your heaviest, bulkiest gloves on and see if you can access all of the features.
Large, easy-to-read display: It's important to keep you eyes on the road when you're driving a car. It's even more critical on a bike, so a big, clean display is critical.
Connectivity: Most GPS units can give audio prompts ("Turn left in 200 yards") that are even more helpful than visual cues. Getting that audio into your helmet can be easy with a Bluetooth connection. If you already have an audio system on your bike, or a portable audio system for your helmet, check to see if your GPS unit can interface with the existing system.
Power: Even the best GPS unit is worthless if it runs out of juice. Consider adding a dedicated power outlet to your bike, and check to see how much power your unit requires.
Mounting options: If you're going to be using your GPS on a regular basis, a good solid handlebar mount is a smart choice. For occasional use, or for use on a rental bike, I usually put my GPS in a see-through map holder strapped to my wrist, or in the map pocket of a tank bag.
Software vs. Hardware: If you have a smartphone, you probably have access to GPS already, whether you realize it or not. Several companies have free or very inexpensive apps that can turn your phone into a GPS unit, saving the additional expense and bulk of carrying a separate, dedicated GPS machine.
There's no excuse for getting lost anymore — unless you really want to!

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Thursday, May 3, 2007
Responding to the need for insurance industry professionals, Hudson Valley Community College this fall will offer a new Insurance option through its existing Business Administration associate's degree program.
The Insurance option will prepare students for jobs such as underwriters, appraisers and other insurance claims positions by providing coursework in personal and commercial types of insurance. The curriculum also will detail how an insurance agency works.
Hudson Valley Community College created the new Insurance option after industry executives in the region approached the college about the need for training to enhance this important service industry and sector of the Capital Region's economy. Fifteen area insurance agencies – including the region's three largest, Rose and Kiernan Inc., Cool Insuring Agency Inc., and Marshall and Sterling Inc. – have expressed support for the new program.
"Hudson Valley Community College is proud of our close relationships in the business community. We're excited at this opportunity to help another industry grow by providing the well-trained workforce it requires," said Hudson Valley President Andrew J. Matonak, Ed.D.
In the past, large insurance companies in the area trained entry level professionals, who were then recruited by smaller companies, explained John F. Murray, president and chief executive officer of Rose and Kiernan Inc. insurance agency in East Greenbush. But as large companies either closed regional offices or stopped offering property and casualty insurance, the entry-level training largely disappeared.
"Hudson Valley Community College has earned a reputation of being extremely responsive to the needs of the business community, we've found them to be a terrific partner for this initiative," Murray said. "This program will offer outstanding career opportunities to graduates and well qualified professionals who will perpetuate the insurance industry. It is certainly a win for us all."
Given the large number of private sector insurance companies and state insurance agencies in the Capital Region, college officials expect students to have many local employment options upon graduation. According to the state Department of Labor, the insurance industry employs more than 13,500 people in the Capital Region.
"There's an overall need in the insurance industry for these positions. The Insurance option will prepare students to go to an insurance agency and distinguish themselves because they'll require less on the job training," said Karen Holmes, chairperson of the Business Administration Department.
The Insurance option is offered through Hudson Valley's existing Business Administration associate in applied science (A.A.S.) degree program, which is structured for students looking for immediate employment or those considering further education. The college also offers a Business Administration associate is science (A.S.) degree which is structured for students planning to transfer to another college or university. Both the A.S. and A.A.S. degrees in Business Administration can be completed online, including the Insurance option.
"The whole program will be online. We plan to go national with this program," said Phil White, Hudson Valley's dean of the School of Business and School of Engineering and Industrial Technologies.
Founded in 1953, Hudson Valley Community College offers more than 70 associate's degrees and certificate programs in four schools: Business; Engineering and Industrial Technologies; Health Sciences; and Liberal Arts and Sciences; and workforce and academic preparation programs offered through the Educational Opportunity Center. One of 30 community colleges in the State University of New York system, it has an enrollment of more than 12,000 students, and it is known as a leader in distance learning initiatives and worker retraining. Hudson Valley has more than 60,000 alumni.

By LOUISE BOYLE and DANIEL MILLER
A lawsuit filed today has alleged that the reason a veteran police officer committed suicide was because he was forced to have sex with a female boss in order not to be punished by workload and scheduling. Officer Matthew Schindler, 39, shot himself on February 13 last year after pulling onto the side of the Long Island Expressway, New York on his way home from work.
His widow Gina Schindler has claimed that her husband was driven to his death because his boss Sgt Christine Hertzel forced him into an affair from which 'he could not escape'. According to the suit, filed at Queens Supreme Court, the highway officer was 'made to understand that he would suffer tangible detriment in his job, job assignments, work conditions and future prospects if he did not submit to the sexual advances and demands...', according to the New York Post.
The widow, who was left to care for the couple's five-year-old twin girls after her husband died, is suing the NYPD and the Sgt Hertzel. She is seeking unspecified damages. Mrs Schindler alleges that her husband had an affair with the woman from March 2011 until the time of his death.
Officer Schindler reportedly tried to put an end to the relationship on February 13, saying he would kill himself over the guilt. The female boss refused and then told the police captain about their affair and Schlinder's threat of suicide, according to the lawsuit. The captain then allegedly tried to call Mr Schindler. A spokesman for the city did not comment on the lawsuit and neither would Mrs Schindler's attorney.
On the day of his death, the 14-year veteran, described by a friend as an 'an all-around great guy' had sent a text to his sergeant to say he wouldn't be seeing him any more. His fellow officers were ordered back to the 115th Precinct station-house, where flags were lowered to half mast, to be told the tragic news.

text: The Formula 1 Car wiki last edited by SaturdayNightSpecials on 01/02/14 06:19AM View full history OverviewThe cars at the starting line, waiting for the race to start.An F1 car is a vehicle produced only for the purpose of circuit racing. Formula 1 is often regarded as the peak of all racing disciplines, since it demands tremendous concentration and care from the driver. F1 cars are known to be extremely expensive, because all the parts that compose them are custom made, often in rare, scarce materials. Technological investigation is also a factor that influences and F1 high production cost.The main aesthetics of an F1 car are largely down to the aerodynamic body parts. However, the FIA has recently forced a number of downforce limiting regulations which removed many of the winglets and ducts found on F1 cars before 2009. These changes were designed to slow the cars down and to allow cars to follow each other more closely to promote overtaking. Despite these changes, a 2009 specification F1 car can still reach speeds over 300 km/h. Eight engines are available to each driver over a season - the development of which is strickly controlled to reduce the overall costs of running a Formula 1 team. Although technically able to go higher, F1 engines are currently rev limited to 18000 rpm to prolong engine life as one engine needs to last anything upto 3 races. F1 Cars are also very useful during a standing start in various F1 games.KERS and DRSIn 2009 the FIA introduced the KERS ( Kinetic Energy Recovery System) and DRS (Drag Reduction System). Both systems were implemented to increase the number of overtakes that would occur during a given race. KERS recovers the energy that is lost during braking. Drivers can trigger this stored energy to give the car a temporary "boost" in performance.The DRS consists of a slot in the rear wing of the car, which can be opened to allow more air to pass through. This reduces drag on the car, allowing greater speeds on straightaways. Each F1 track has certain DRS detection zones that give the driver the ability to open the wing slot. Drivers must must be within one second of the car in front of them, and cannot be in first place, to use the DRS. The wing slot will automatically close under braking or at the end of the DRS zone. DRS zones are usually placed on long straightaways, as the handling of the car is greatly affected with the wing slot open.

An air of expectation hangs over several suburban gardens in Hastings, Eastbourne and Chichester. Any sunny day now, continental swallowtails may emerge from their chrysalises, which have been monitored all winter.
This is thrilling news. With vivid yellow-and-black-patterned wings and blobs of red above swallow-like tails, the swallowtail resembles an escapee from a tropical butterfly house. It is Britain's largest native species, but over centuries mostly confined to the East Anglian wetlands, it has evolved into a subspecies, britannicus, which is smaller and weaker than the continental gorganus.
Britannicus caterpillars will only feed on the rare milk parsley, which ensures it seldom strays beyond the Norfolk Broads. Gorganus, however, feeds on carrots and fennel.
It is on these plants in south coast gardens that gorganus females laid eggs last summer after flying across the Channel. Many caterpillars were inadvertently thrown out with the carrot tops, but a few were reported to the Sussex branch of Butterfly Conservation, and their vice-chair, Michael Blencowe, advised nervous gardeners how to give them the best chance of survival over winter.
One continental swallowtail has already been spotted on Magdalen Hill Down nature reserve in Hampshire, close to allotments where it may have fed as a caterpillar.
The continental swallowtail's potential emergence after a mild winter raises the possibility that it could establish itself permanently in Britain. The losses caused by climate change are likely to be appalling, but in one or two cases there may be some lovely gains.

I have 1 acre I can make in to a bee yard I was just wondering how many hives could fit
thanks allan

what kind of forage is around?
Any other beeyards around?
Good luck willie
Last edited by honeyman46408; 10-06-2013 at 03:23 PM. Reason: UNQ
Bees may forage in a radius of up to 2 miles or so. (Studies report varying numbers for forage distance.) In any case, that potential forage area encompasses at least 8,000 acres. So whether your apiary is on half an acre or 100 acres, it is the surrounding 7,900 acres that make the difference.
I'll stick my neck out and say that you may want to build up to 10 - 20 hives at one location and study what happens to average hive production as you add more hives in that same location.
USDA Zone 7A Elevation 1400 ft
it is in the country in Alabama plenty of woods and cotton and no other beeyards that I know of
Last edited by allan; 10-06-2013 at 09:19 AM.
As others have said, it's the forage in the 2-3 mile radius and competition you would need to look at. A beek outside of Tuscaloosa told my buddy that the hives close to wetlands and bottoms were the best producers. I suppose that is because the constant source of water allowed flowering despite dry spells. If you had a lot of clearcut, old growth and wetlands in your area i'm betting that number would get pretty high. You won't really know until you start watching their production.
Funny, I was just sharing this wish a local beek. Here's a tool that I grabbed from another post. It will help you to visualize the forage radius.
Everything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not yet the end
One Acre is about 209ft X 209ft or 2508inch X 2508inch = 6290064 square inch
Now a hive is 19.875 X 16.25 = 323 square inches
Now 6290064 divided by 323 = 19473 hives could fit on one acre
Danno is right on assuming 10 frame hives.
Who says the hives all have to be on the ground, level? Many more than the suggested number could be accommodated, if some of them are stacked, or on shelves of various heights. It would even take care of the access to the hives, issue.
Of course, my acre is only 0.98/acre and it includes my dwelling, garden, greenhouse, koi pond, driveway, etc. I am trying to achieve a count of 30 full size colonies, and 100 nucs. So far, I've achieved about half my goal of each. Our local weather determines whether I need to feed, or not, to maintain their strength.
To answer your question without reservation, you can literally fit an extremely large number of colonies on a single acre. It all depends on what you are willing to do to accommodate their needs.

48 years - 50 hives - TF
Joseph Clemens -- Website Under Constructioni
I have 125 colonies on one acre in Florida. They are surrounded by pepper right now so I am hoping that is enough but nonetheless, afterwards, I will be feeding.
How many people fit on one acre of land?
It depends on how high you stack them.

A friend of mine says that all of the people in the world would fit into 3 cubic acres of space.

Collision at the basket ends with a big hug!
Glen Davis defends Gerald Wallace's layup with a big ol' hug
Rob Mahoney
The sight of Brooklyn's Gerald Wallace — who is perhaps the most concussion-prone player the league has ever seen — and Orlando's Glen Davis — a 290-pound big man who lacks for body control — hurtling toward one another is unsettling. One flinches in preparation of the hit that's sure to come, with the hope that Wallace isn't in too vulnerable a position or that Davis isn't careless with his contact.
But Davis, kind soul that he is, conceded defeat once Wallace had beaten him to the hoop in the play above from Monday's game. He extends his arms as if he were taking a foul, but instead engages in that most unconventional of at-the-rim defensive maneuvers: the bear hug.
We can't say that it worked out all that effectively as a tactic, but that doesn't mean it isn't a great basketball play. Three cheers for safety!

The pitfalls of publicizing ethics research
Neale, Larry, Fullerton, Sam, & Johnson-Morgan, Melissa (2010) The pitfalls of publicizing ethics research. In Proceedings of Society for Marketing Advances Conference 2010, Society for Marketing Advances, Sheraton Atlanta Hotel, Georgia.
Accepted Version
(PDF 142kB)
What happens to our research once it hits the popular media? Do marketers know how to promote our research in a way that is understandable and complete, while still capturing an audience? This case study follows the dissemination of the results of a consumer ethics study via a single press release, along with the resulting media coverage, interviews and audience comments. Perhaps in their quest for a touch of controversy, the story picked up by the popular press was not the one intended by the authors. If getting the public story right is important, marketing academics need to spend as much time carefully crafting their press releases as they do writing journal manuscripts – they may not be able to rely on the ethics of media sub-editors who choose controversial headlines.

You know those people who have one endocrinologist their whole lives – two if they started with a pediatric endo? Yeah, I guess I'm not one of those people.
I stockpiled some diabetes supplies before I moved so that I could make it through the transition, and on March 1st my new insurance will be active. In the meantime, I was able to log on to my insurance website to check out the doctors in my area. I have a few options.
I also checked my prescription coverage, but that is a different and slightly more frustrating story. Unless of course the same brand of insulin and test strip really does work the best for everyone.
I live a few streets away from a local hospital. Members of my family see various doctors there and they have been pleased. There is an endocrinology practice there that is accepting new patients.
On the other hand, I asked a beloved member of the DOC if she had any recommendations for local endocrinologists. There is an endocrinologist on the other side of town (but close-ish to work) who is equally qualified but with one added detail – he has type 1 diabetes.
I obviously can make and appointment to try one, and if I don't like it, I can try the other. But I'm all for efficiency, I want to get this right the first time. I brought this up in a video chat with some DOC friends earlier in the week and after they got over the shock about how many endocrinology choices I have so close to my home, they all basically voted for the type 1 doctor.
- Who would you choose?
- What questions would you ask when interviewing the doctor? What is important for you to know?
- Does it matter that one doctor would be more likely to have privileges at the local hospital? If I had to go to the ER or be admitted, how important would that be? Should it factor into the decision?
- Is having type 1 diabetes the ultimate trump card for an endocrinologist?
Speaking of March 1st, it is only a week away. That means there are only a few days left to nominate posts for Best of the 'Betes Blogs this month. I worked my reader down from over 600 unread posts down to zero earlier this month so I wouldn't miss anything good. If I can do that, I think you can nominate a post or two!

Seems to me that extra 20 quid revenue per game is the driving force! Piracy is just the scapegoat so people don't realise the truth!

I don't know why so many moan about Crysis's minimum specs, as an excuse for disliking the game so much.
The game runs just fine on the majority of systems, as long as you lower the options to medium or low. People get so worked up when they can't stick all the settings on maximum.

Veer Zaara (Veer-Zaara)
Wednesday, October 26
NOTE: screened at 6:30 p.m. in Sarratt Cinema. Indian food will be served during an intermission from 8–8:30 p.m.
Presented by: Todd Hughes, Director of Instructional Technology, Center for Second Language Studies; Denise Callejas, Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Spanish and Portuguese
