As reported by the Denver Post last hour, the Broncos have hired Dennis Allen, secondary coach for the New Orleans Saints as their new defensive coordinator.
Doug Lee will have more on this story in the morning, but I'm comfortable with this move. Perhaps Allen has learned a few tricks from Greg Williams, current defensive coordinator for the Saints. Williams is known for his ultra-aggressive blitzes. One has to believe Allen has been playing close attention.
With this move, let's hope John Fox wants to inject more aggression into the Broncos'
old new 4-3 defense next year.
The Broncos could have waited and interviewed other candidates. However, as a general rule of football fashion, aggression never goes out of style.
Bringing the house is the new black, if you were wondering.

Kingson keen on Wigan move
Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson has confirmed he is hoping to sign for a Premier League club.
By Giscard Gourizro
Last Updated: 05/09/08 11:58am
Ghana goalkeeper Richard Kingson has confirmed he is hoping to sign for a Premier League club.
Wigan Athletic boss Steve Bruce has revealed he is planning talks with Kingson as he looks to replace Carlo Nash, who joined Everton on deadline day.
Kingson is available on a free transfer after leaving Birmingham City and has been linked with French trio Marseille, Monaco and Lille.
However, the keeper is keen to stay in English football and could make a decision when he has completed his international commitments next week.
"I am in talks with a Premiership club," Kingson, who was signed for Birmingham by Bruce, told skysports.com.
"The talks are ongoing. I am a free agent, so you will hear some news as soon as possible, but I want to play in the Premier League.
"I had other offers, but staying in the UK has always been my wish."
Kingson made three appearances during his season at Birmingham and will vie with Mike Pollitt to be the back-up to Chris Kirkland if he agrees a move to Wigan.

Steve Berens just bought himself a Godiva chocolate shake.
Asked if he eats a lot of chocolate, Berens answers, "Probably more than I should. I do like my chocolate."
Turns out it may help keep him from having a stroke. A Swedish study looked at more than 37,000 men and found those who regularly ate chocolate had a lower risk of stroke.
"What they were able to show that there was approximately 20 percent decrease in the number of strokes in those individuals who had the highest consumption of chocolate versus those who didn't eat chocolate at all," said Dr. Louis Evan Teichholz of Hackensack University Medical Center.
The benefits may be related to the natural flavanoids in chocolate, which appear to have anti-oxidant, anti-clotting and anti-inflammatory properties. They can also decrease bad cholesterol and lower blood pressure.
So how much chocolate does it take to help prevent a stroke? The study says really not that much-- about one-third of a cup a week. Rowell Sargent and his wife have no problem with that.
"We certainly have some every day. Whether it's a chocolate chip cookie, candy bar, or chocolate-covered strawberry. We eat chocolate," Sargent said.
Doctors say just don't overdo it.
"I think the health benefits in moderation will outweigh the extra calories," Teichholz said.
And unlike other research touting the benefits of dark chocolate, the Swedish men ate mostly milk chocolate.

The SFFaudio Podcast #307 – READALONG: The Lord Of The Rings (Book 1 of 6) by J.R.R. Tolkien
Filed under: Podcasts
The SFFaudio Podcast #307 – Jesse, Julie Davis, Seth, and Maissa talk about The Lord of the Rings Book I ("The Ring Sets Out") by J.R.R. Tolkien.
Talked about on today's show:
On the comparative merits of the book, movie, and the BBC audio drama; the similarity between the audio drama and the film; Ian Hom as Frodo in the audio drama (elder Bilbo in the film) and Michael Hordern as Gandalf; Rob Inglis's superb audiobook narration and singing; poetry and singing as a reflection of Tolkien's mythological influence; Kenneth Morris's influence on Tolkien; The Silmarillion and the creation of Middle Earth; The Tolkien Professor and Michael Drout as resources for further Tolkien scholarship; Jesse's first encounter with The Hobbit; the birth of Jesse's fascination with audiobooks; the depth of Tolkien's world-building and lack of depth in fantasy successors; Aragorn is unsung hero; on how the audio helped Jenny get a handle on the series; Seth's regular reading of the novels; Maissa has questions as a new reader; the cliffhanger ending of Book I; on the making of the rings; the ring as an analogy to modern technological addiction; Steve Jobs as Sauron; Maissa envisions true palm technology and Jesse envisions a real technological ring; Doctor Who; Socrates, Gyges, and a ring of invisibility, how much agency does the Ring have?; religious subtext; more on the ring's agency; "more than one power at work"; on how Tolkien had to retcon The Hobbit; Tolkien's letters and his attention to detail; Frank Herbert's similar world building process in Dune; on Middle Earth's historical depth; the cats of Queen Berúthiel; Farmer Maggot vs. the Black Rider; hobbits make the story relatable; Gandalf as rabble-rousing priest and prophet (Moses, Jeremiah); "birthday presents" and the circularity of the tale; "The Conspiracy Unmasked" and the power of friendship; the untold tale of Fredegar Bolger; on the faults of hobbits; parallels with modern military conflicts; economics in the books (or lack thereof); the varieties of goodness and evil; the Prancing Pony has free wi-fi; a time of transition and the Elves' pilgrimage to the Gray Havens; on Gollum's possession of the ring; Tom Bombadil as unexplained phenomenon; Jesse wants a Tom Bombadil Bed and Breakfast; on the importance of Frodo's encounter with the Barrow White; Tolkien could have written weird fiction; Sam's selfless sacrifices; Tolkien's impact on our real lives; we are all Butterburs wanting to be Sams; Sam learning his letters; class differences in the Shire, Hobbiton as Downton Abbey; "the road goes ever on"; does Sauron have corporeal existence?; no Harry Potter style set pieces in favor of a much more organic feel; Jesse tells us the definition of scrumping; Tolkien's descriptions of nature; on Tolkien and fantasy tropes; influence on Dungeons and Dragons; Bombadillo cadence; comparisons with contemporary writing of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser series and Robert E. Howard's Conan stories; Tolkien's preference for allegory over history; the power of words in Tolkien and its parallel with Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea; on the novel's slow opening; on the film's simplification of plot and characters, Merry and Pippin in the film are Dumb and Dumber; if Gandalf can make fireworks, why are there no guns in Middle Earth?; for a wizard, Gandalf doesn't do much magic; (who let the dogs out?); Tolkien and World War I; on Gandalf's refusal to take the ring; on the etymology of wraith and the origin of the ring wraiths; more on Plato and Socrates's Ring of Gyges parable; Gollum's fascination with roots and beginnings; Aragorn's healing power (foreshadowing!); giving the ring to the wrong person is "like giving a machine gun to a baby"; Saruman twisted by even the idea of the ring; Maissa is a prescient reader.

Review of The Future for Curious People by Gregory Sherl
Filed under: Reviews
The Future for Curious People
By Gregory Sherl; Narrated by Heather Corrigan and Justin Torres
Publisher: HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books
Publication Date: 2 September 2014
[UNABRIDGED] – 9 hours, 30 minutes
Themes: / near future / technology / relationships / librarians /
Publisher summary:
Meet Evelyn and Godfrey. Evelyn is breaking up with her boyfriend, who's passing out advertisements for his band on a snowy street corner in Baltimore. She's seen their dismal future together at Dr. Chin's office: she and her boyfriend, both many years older, singing "Happy Birthday" to a Chihuahua and arguing about cheese. She hopes for more. Meanwhile, Godfrey is proposing to his girlfriend, Madge, who's not quite willing to take that leap; she wants to see their future together first—just to be sure they're meant for each other. The Future for Curious People follows Evelyn and Godfrey's soon-to-be-entwined lives, set in motion by the fabulist premise of a world with envisionists like Dr. Chin. In struggling with their pasts and possible futures, the characters encounter the mysteries of sorrow, love, death, and fate. It's a story that will capture you with its brightness, its hopefulness, its anxious twists and turns. It is a love story that is ultimately a statement about happiness and how to accept our fleeting existence.
This was a highly enjoyable book about people who can't help but look into their relationship futures, with great consequences to their current entanglements. The two narrators on the audiobook portray Godfrey Burkes and Evelyn the Librarian very well, alongside distinguishable minor characters with different voices. The varieties of futures don't get old, in fact they relate to one another and connect to the futures of other characters, as they should.
The book made me laugh quite a few times – it's the kind of humor that's just cute, like a romantic comedy. I'm a sucker for light, cute stories when the characters are bookish or quirky or otherwise unusual. This fits the bill!

Review of Breach Zone by Myke Cole
Filed under: Reviews
Breach Zone (Shadow Ops #3)
By Myke Cole; Read by Korey Jackson
Publisher: Recorded Books
Publication Date: January 2014
[UNABRIDGED] – 13 hours, 54 minutes
Themes: / military sci-fi / special powers / flying /
Publisher summary:
In the wake of a bloody battle at Forward Operating Base Frontier and a scandalous presidential impeachment, Lieutenant Colonel Jan Thorsson, call sign " Harlequin," becomes a national hero and a pariah to the military that is the only family he' s ever known. In the fight for Latent equality, Oscar Britton is positioned to lead a rebellion in exile, but a powerful rival beats him to the punch: Scylla, a walking weapon who will stop at nothing to end the human-sanctioned apartheid against her kind.
When Scylla' s inhuman forces invade New York City, the Supernatural Operations Corps are the only soldiers equipped to prevent a massacre. In order to redeem himself with the military, Harlequin will be forced to face off with this havoc-wreaking woman from his past, warped by her power into something evil.
Breach Zone is the conclusion to the Shadow Ops Trilogy, which begins with Control Point and Fortress Frontier. As much as Control Point is Oscar Britton's book and Fortress Frontier is Bookbinder's, Breach Zone was firmly Lt. Col. Jan Thorsson's, aka "Harlequin."
This is an interesting perspective. I doubt Harlequin is close to the top of anyone's list of favorite characters in the series, but after seeing the world from his perspective, the Jaime Lannister effect takes place. Not only do you begin to respect his actions, you begin to see that he's changed quite a bit through this whole ordeal from his initial stark, rule-following persona.
I can't deny, I wanted to see more of Oscar Britton and Allan Bookbinder. They're present, just not in the forefront as they once were, but I really enjoyed their powers and wanted to see more of each at play. At the same time, I, somehow, never really thought of the implications of being an Aeromancer and I can't say I'd complain if I was suddenly given the power of FLIGHT. Not to mention control over the elements such as wind, lightning, and generally the power of Zeus. Yeah, that's cool too.
Overall, Breach Zone is an excellent conclusion to the entire trilogy. The action is superb and the setup through the trilogy is just about perfectly satisfied in this final volume.
My only real complaint I have is with the audio narration of this novel. I have to admit that at first I thought the narrator, Korey Jackson, was perfect for the part. He's great at the different voices, does the military stuff well, and he's convincing. What could possibly go wrong right? Well, first off, he reads really slowly. A book this size is normally 9 to 10 CD's, but this one is 12. I thought the book was just longer at first, but I checked it against the printed version and it's not really a typical 12 disc size novel. Believe me. I know this.
If I had the ability to speed it up, I would have used it. As a reviewer, however, I tend to avoid speeding up audiobooks because I want to be able to hear a book in its natural state. But what the slow-reading narrator does is kill a good amount of the tension. It's hard to believe that events are ramping up when the narrator doesn't seem to care.
At the same time, he sounded detached. This could have been a result of the slow reading or very closely tied, but he just seemed to be going through the motions and I didn't hear the passion like I hear in the really good narrators.
Luckily, the strength of the narrative shines through and for the parts that didn't require a high degree of tension Jackson was great. Honestly, his voices were spot on and I can tell why he was chosen.
Shadow Ops is one of my favorite series of recent years. I dearly hope Myke Cole heads back into this world some more because it's filled with awesome. The superpowers are deftly done, and the politics are highly believable. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill meathead novel. There's great action and it keeps you thinking as well. I'll be reading anything and everything Myke Cole puts out.
4 out of 5 Stars (highly recommended)

Review of The Crown Tower by Michael J. Sullivan
The Crown Tower (The Riyria Chronicles #1)
By Michael J. Sullivan; Narrated by Tim Gerald Reynolds
Publisher: Recorded Books
Publication Date: 6 August 2013
[UNABRIDGED] = 12 hours, 49 minutes
Themes: / fantasy / warrior / thief / prostitutes /
Publisher summary:
Two men who hate each other. One impossible mission. A legend in the making.
Hadrian Blackwater, a warrior with nothing to fight for is paired with Royce Melborn, a thieving assassin with nothing to lose. Together they must steal a treasure that no one can reach. The Crown Tower is the impregnable remains of the grandest fortress ever built and home to the realm's most prized possessions. But it isn't gold or jewels that the old wizard is after, and if he can just keep them from killing each other, just might do it.
The Crown Tower is the first book of the Riyria Chronicles series by Michael J. Sullivan in the same world as his Riyria Revelations series. Even though published later than Revelations, the Chronicles books are chronologically earlier and explore the adventures of the same characters before the events of Revelations. Sullivan gives a great forward to the book explaining all of this and explains that he went to great lengths to ensure that a new Riyria reader (like me) could start from either point. The Crown Tower serves as a great introduction to the world and the characters and I'm looking forward to more Riyria!
The plot of the novel mainly follows two threads: Hadrian is a highly skilled warrior who has quit fighting in armies and killing men for no good reason. He gets roped into a high risk heist with a thief (Royce) he doesn't like or trust by an old wizard friend of the family. They need to steal something from an impregnable tower but there seems to be more going on here than it seems. Gwen is a prostitute stuck in the city of Medford waiting for a man of prophecy she isn't sure will actually come. She works for a terrible man who cares nothing for his girls and is quickly reaching the breaking point. Oh and she can tell a man's past, present, and future by reading his palm. Gwen's story was the less compelling of the two threads for me, but I'm sure parts of her story have greater significance in later portions of Riyria.
I really like the dynamics between Hadrian and Royce just because of how different they are. Hadrian has hope in the world, faith in the goodness of people, and a desire to help others. Royce trusts nothing, no one, and is prone to killing innocents to remove the possibility of witnesses whenever needed. One is outgoing and the other is a complete mystery. Naturally, they hate each other.
I also really like the setting of the world and the way the book is written. So many fantasy book are going the direction of "grimdark fantasy" where everything is gritty and terrible, fights are graphic, and sex scenes are pornographic. Sullivan does a great job of being realistic portraying people in dire circumstances (like the prostitutes) while still keeping the novel clean overall. He manages to have a brothel in this story without being pornographic! Amazing! Sullivan also doesn't dwell on gore and violence while still having compelling action scenes. He builds up some serious anticipation to see Hadrian fight and does not disappoint when it comes.
As for the audiobook performance, Tim Gerard Reynolds does a great job with the different characters' voices in this book. Hadrian and Royce's voices match their characters really well and I had no trouble following anything going on. He did well building up the suspense during the climax of the book. I am definitely looking forward to more novels read by Reynolds.

Commentary: Downpour.com – an audiobook delivery system that just works
Filed under: Commentary
Downpour.com, Blackstone Audio's online audiobook store, is a genuine competitor to Audible.com.
It offers audiobook downloads of titles, from Blackstone Audio's extensive catalogue, and also those from many other audiobook publishers like Recorded Books, Harper Audio, Penguin Audio, Hachette Audio, and AudioGo.
Their subscription service is almost identically priced to Audible's, each offers one credit per month for about $15. And, like an Audible credit Audible.com, a Downpour credit almost always gets you one audiobook.
I signed up for Downpour when they started late last Summer. And so far, I really, really like it.
I've had an account with Audible.com since 2001. But Audbile.com has always caused one giant problem for me: DRM.
DRM is actually designed to prevent you sharing your audiobook with your friends and family.
But worse, it can also make it difficult for you, the owner of the audiobook that you bought, to actually listen to what you have paid for.
Over the years I've spent countless hours trying to make an audiobook, that I bought, play on my audiobook players.
Every single time I've bought a new computer, iPod, iPad, or iPhone I've spent time authorizing and deauthorizing my devices. Sometimes it just takes a couple of minutes, sometimes hours.
Audible's DRM makes you have to authorize your iTunes account, and your computer, and your iPhone, and your iPad, and your iPod. And you have to deauthorize your old devices to make the new devices work. You can't have all of your devices authorized if you have more than three.
I just want my audiobooks to work like regular books, I want them to open up and give me their ideas. DRM cripples your ability to do that.
Downpour.com has no DRM at all. It just works.
In fact it works absolutely perfectly.
You make a purchase, it shows up in your online library, and then it downloads and delivers itself to your devices.
It is smoother than any audiobook service I've ever seen. It's even smoother than Tantor Media's excellent DRM-FREE download service.
If you use an iOS device for an audiobook, like I do, I'm betting Downpour.com is will work for you.
If you use a different audiobook player Downpour offers MP3s, which work with every audio player.

Match Report | 2nd August 2008
Carter Finds Form For Second XI
Andy Carter took five wickets as the Notts Second XI drew with MCC Young Cricketers at Lady Bay.
Carter's recorded first-innings figures of 5-60 and AJ Harris and Mark Footitt were also amongst the wickets to see the MCC all out for 183.
Will Jefferson's 81 helped Notts to a first innings lead but persistent showers negated any hopes of a home win.
"The seam bowlers performed to good effect, particularly because we lost the toss on a flat wicket," said Notts Coach Wayne Noon.
"Andy Carter is learning in every game that he's played and he's managed to stay injury-free in his first full season of second team cricket."
Fit-again Footitt took 2-39 in the first innings and hit a quick 45 as he looks to put his injury woes behind him.
"There was no pressure on Mark last week and he had the chance to ease himself back quite gently but he was a bit more full-on in this one and found some decent pace," said Noon.
Notts Second XI travel to Warwickshire for a three-day fixture beginning Wednesday.

From communication systems engineering and computer science to industrial technologies and telecommunications, this program offers courses in it all. Your host institution, Universidad Carlos III, has a robust curriculum of engineering and technology courses and laboratories at their Leganés campus to pique your interests and suit your needs.
Spend time learning about Spain's regional diversity during structured day and overnight trips to various Spanish cities and towns. You might learn about Roman engineering works that laid the foundation for the road system or about the Arab influence in water management in places such as Segovia, Alcalá, Mérida, and Granada. You'll also go on walking or biking tours within the city to the Royal Palace, and visit fascinating locations that may be lesser known to international tourists.
Fun cultural activities bring American and Spanish university students together. Take part in conversation exchanges, a Spanish cooking class, and a flamenco class followed by a dinner and show; visit the Rastro open-air market; and experience local festivals and traditional celebrations in and around the city.
Get critical exposure to Spanish companies in fields of engineering and the sciences during company site visits. Madrid is home to some of the country's top-ranking engineering companies such as Iberdrola, Repsol, FCC, and Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas SA.
Engineering internships in Madrid are highly competitive and in demand, but if you have advanced Spanish and can show what it takes, we'll help make an internship happen for you. Past students have interned at a local public hospital and an architecture firm that develops sustainability programs to make buildings self-sufficient and reduce energy consumption.
We want to make sure you get the most out of your experience when you study abroad with CIEE, which is why we offer the most inclusions in our fees.
The program fee includes:

Students participating in this program will be required to take the following courses:
The capital city of Madrid is the largest city in Spain, and yet it's filled with green spaces like the Royal Botanical Garden. Madrid is located in the geographic center of the Iberian Peninsula. Points of interest include the historic center dating back to the Hapsburg Empire and world-renowned art museums, including the Prado, Reina Sofia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza. In addition to being a rich cultural heritage site, Madrid is a lively, artistic metropolis that can be experienced through its variety of food, tapas bars, dance shows, operas, music concerts, outdoor parks, jazz clubs, soccer matches, ethnic neighborhoods, and contemporary theater and cinema. Madrid's influences in politics, education, science, entertainment, media, fashion, and the arts all contribute to its importance as an international metropolis. Madrid's economic output, high living standards, and market size, ranks it as the major center of Southern Europe. The head offices of the vast majority of the major Spanish companies can be found in and around the city.
Eero Jesurun, Ph.D. completed his B.S. and M.A degrees from Georgetown University´s School of Foreign Service. Eero studied at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid where he was awarded a Ph.D. degree while researching and teaching classes on Spanish cinema, cultural theory and immigration. He started up in the private sector as a marketing consultant prior to working in New York, Cuba and Brazil for CIEE. Eero settled in Spain in 2003 as Resident Director of the CIEE Study Center in Alcalá and started up the CIEE Study Center in Madrid in 2005. He is fluent in Dutch, Papiamento, English and Spanish.
Sonia Sales is the Student Services Coordinator. Previously, Sonia worked with American students studying abroad in her hometown of Seville. Sonia has also completed studies in photography and graphic design. She spent one year abroad in Galway, Ireland. Sonia is fluent in English and French, as well as her native Spanish. Sonia is also in charge of organizing the Spanish Student Network and social media accounts as well as coordinating student volunteers and social activities. She is always offering CIEE students great ideas on how to spend their free time while in Spain.
Established in 1989, the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has become one of Europe's preeminent public universities, and after receiving the European Campus of Excellence award in 2010 is now recognized as one of Spain's most rigorous institutions of higher education. Apart from being a public university that has adopted a U.S.-style academic calendar, it also has one of the highest percentages (42 percent) of full-time and tenured women faculty in Spain.
The aim of the Engineering School is to contribute to society by offering quality education and carrying out advanced research in areas of engineering and the sciences in accordance with demanding international criteria. CIEE students in the engineering program can take classes in three schools: Arts and Humanities, Business and Law, and Engineering. Coursework in engineering is completed at the Leganés campus, which is accessible by a modern and very efficient public transportation system. The Leganés campus is approximately 30 to 40 minutes south from downtown Madrid when traveling by public transport.
Study abroad students can choose to live in either homestays or in shared apartments with other CIEE students and a local Spaniard. Students living at homestays will be placed in single rooms; students living in shared apartments may be placed either in single or double rooms.
Homestay hosts have various backgrounds and are actively involved in the community. Homestays can range from living with numerous family members to living with a single individual. Selection is based on information provided by the student´s housing questionnaire; some homestays can be shared with another CIEE student, but each student will still have an individual room.
All homestays provide breakfast and another meal (usually dinner) seven days a week. Any meal not provided by the host is at the student´s expense. Students will have access to a kitchen so that they can prepare snacks or their own meals. Past students have also purchased meal tickets from the university cafeterias or used other food options on campus at affordable prices. All homestays have washing machines for the student´s use at no extra charge.
Shared apartments with other CIEE students and a local Spaniard are assigned on a first-come/first-serve basis, and availability is limited. Utilities, regular cleaning, laundry facilities and wireless internet access are included. Meals are not included, but students share fully-equipped kitchens where they can store and prepare their own meals.
All housing placements are in central Madrid with an average commute of 40 to 60 minutes to the university campus, and a shorter commute to the CIEE study center.
Academic year study abroad students have the option of living in a non-CIEE apartment during their second semester. It is required that they share the apartment with other Spanish-speaking roommates. Students who choose this option are responsible for finding, leasing, and managing the apartment on their own and independently of the student housing program. Prior approval by the housing coordinator and resident director is required.
You'll begin your study abroad experience in Madrid even before leaving home by participating in a CIEE online pre-departure orientation. The resident director meets with students online and shares information about the program and site, highlighting issues that alumni have said are important, and giving you time to ask questions. The online orientation allows you to connect with others in the group, reflect on what you want to get out of the program, and learn what others in the group would like to accomplish. CIEE's aim for the pre-departure orientation is simple: to help you understand more about the program and identify your goals.
A mandatory, two-day on-site orientation session will introduce you to the country, culture, and academic program, and provide practical information about living in Spain, and Madrid in particular. Orientation themes include Spanish customs and lifestyle, the university system, money and banking, safety and health, how and where to shop, transportation, and cultural adaptation. Orientation includes both structured cultural activities and independent sightseeing. Spanish students collaborate with CIEE in these activities. Students also complete an intensive Spanish language course before semester classes start.
Ongoing support is provided by CIEE staff on an individual and group basis throughout the program.
You are encouraged to bring a wireless-enabled laptop with you. You'll have Internet access in your housing as well as at campus libraries and some campus cafeterias and classrooms. You will receive a university email account and have free access to all University computer labs and on-campus WiFi. There are also affordable Internet cafés and a few free wireless points located throughout Madrid.
You'll take part in an overnight weekend trip to a site of particular interest to your study abroad program. In the past students have gone to Barcelona, Sevilla, or Bilbao to see regional differences in urban design, engineering works, and old-city architecture.
CIEE creates a cultural agenda each semester with various optional activities that expose students to Spanish society. Cultural activities are designed to bring American and Spanish university students together. Those include conversation exchanges with Spanish students, a Spanish cooking class, a flamenco class followed by a dinner and show, visits to the Rastro open-air market, and participation in festivals and traditional celebrations in and around the city.
The Spanish Student Network is comprised of local university students who accompany CIEE study abroad students on group activities and other events. The Network introduces you to the university and culture of Madrid.
You are encouraged to participate in the language exchange opportunities available on the Leganés campus. Language partners are encouraged to meet individually with students in various venues, neighborhoods, and businesses in order to accelerate practical use of the language in an applied manner at the appropriate level. Often intercambios result in strong friendships. Intercambios are not required because in many cases, you'll make local and international friends in Madrid and prefer to meet with them in your free time, in which case you'll practice Spanish with them without the need of an exchange.
Every semester CIEE organizes volunteer opportunities that can be completed during a couple of hours each week at local NGO´s, or community centers. Participants are encouraged to engage in the Madrid- wide community in various ways with organizations that are dedicated to people with disabilities, immigrants, children, the elderly or the disadvantaged.
In addition to the regular courses you can sign up for a UC3M faculty-led study group for one of your regular direct enroll STEM courses offered at the Leganes campus. This one-credit tutorial appears on your registration and allows you to study in a structured manner and helps you complete your course work as needed. Students usually select a tutorial group in a course subject they are least familiar with to date.
The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has sports facilities similar to those found on a U.S. campus, including an indoor swimming pool and spa, a multi-level gymnasium with tennis, basketball, squash and volleyball courts, and a soccer field. There are numerous activities and non-credit courses, such as yoga, Pilates, step, aerobics, aquafit, stretching, and dance.
The CIEE Engineering and Society study abroad program is designed to combine Spanish language and European and Spanish cultural studies with coursework in engineering and the opportunity to participate in an independent internship in Madrid.
Students will take a Spanish language course, a European or Spanish culture course, enrollment courses in the all-English or Spanish bachelor degree programs in their respective academic field with an optional CIEE Internship. Students will take direct enrollment courses in bachelor programs from the School of Engineering. Direct enroll courses in aerospace, energy, or biomedical engineering are taught in English only. Other regular university courses in audiovisual, communication, computer, electrical, electronic, industrial, materials, mechanical, telecommunication, and telematics engineering are taught in either English or Spanish.
The Engineering Department at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid offers twelve degree programs. All courses are held in classroom buildings on the Leganés campus. Engineering courses are academically challenging, dynamic, and involve daily reading and homework assignments, as well as required attendance at lectures. The size of regular university courses varies from 25 to 80 students. Classes are taught by faculty with Ph.D. degrees. University classrooms are modern, comfortable, and equipped with the most up-to-date technology used for instruction. Students undertaking an independent internship meet regularly with the course coordinator and other CIEE students, but participants spend the majority of their internship-for-credit with an individual supervisor at the practicum site.
The video below shows what it could be like to study biomedical engineering at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (English begins at minute one).

This video is the property of the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
Universidad Carlos III de Madrid is a highly regarded public university in Spain with new education guidelines and regulations from the European Union set forth in the Bologna Agreement, resulting in an academic schedule that is very similar to U.S. higher education. The CIEE courses offered in the fall semester begin in early September and end in late December. Students enrolled in regular UC3M courses in the Engineering Department during the fall can arrange to take early exams in December. The spring semester program begins in mid January and runs through early June. Early departure is not allowed in spring. Any extended travel should take place prior to the start of the program, during vacation periods, or upon completion of the program.
CIEE students enroll in the required Spanish language class with other CIEE and American students. Depending on the student's language level, the elective class in Spain-related or European culture is offered by CIEE with other CIEE students only. Advanced-level Spanish students may also choose the Hispanic Studies program with course work in Spanish where classmates are CIEE and other American students. Students with lower or intermediate-level Spanish abilities can choose electives from the various English-taught courses in the UC3M Study Abroad Program. The remainder of course credits are filled with direct enroll UC3M classes in either English or Spanish, depending on the student´s language level. The direct enrollment courses at the university are with degree students and other visiting international students.
The Engineering School follows a model that may be different from U.S. universities. It includes a lecture format during the initial four to six weeks and then a switch to laboratory work or smaller group sessions. At the UC3M Engineering School it is quite common to have a course coordinator to be the instructor with a co-teacher who at times will alternate teaching lectures or lab research. Most of the courses also incorporate online coursework. This helps guide students throughout the semester and allows students to communicate with their teachers outside classroom lectures.
As students gain proficiency in Spanish, resident staff encourages them to use their language skills in everyday settings. The more students participate, the more a community that contributes to Spanish language proficiency and understanding of Spanish society develops.
Students taking Spanish courses will have the opportunity to check their written assignments by appointment and can receive language help at the university's Aula de Idiomas. Additional language support is offered for those participants taking regular university courses. With CIEE supervision, students enrolled in the direct enroll courses may find tutors (either graduate students or classmates) who are willing to help them get the most out of the class. In general, tutors meet for one hour, once a week, for up to 10 weeks.
In all courses, students are graded on class participation, in class activities, homework assignments, exams, papers, and oral presentations, similar to the standards in the U.S. Numerical grades are given based on a 10-point scale and converted to a U.S. letter grade.
Note: This course listing is for informational purposes only and does not constitute a contract between CIEE and any applicant, student, institution, or other party. The courses, as described, may be subject to change as a result of ongoing curricular revisions, assignment of lecturers and teaching staff, and program development. Courses may be canceled due to insufficient enrollment.

Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis said he believes the club are safe after they reached the magic 40-point mark with a 3-2 victory over Everton on Wednesday.
Goals from Jason Puncheon, Scott Dann and Cameron Jerome were enough to quell the threat of Champions League-chasing Everton as Palace became just the second side to win at Goodison Park all season.
And speaking to Sky Sports after his side's victory, which saw the Eagles climb to 11th, Pulis said: "I think we're safe but we have a responsibility to the Premier League to turn up for the next four games."
Palace's position looked perilous when Pulis arrived in south London tasked with lifting the club out of the bottom three.
With just seven points on the board from 12 games before the Welshman took charge of his first game, Pulis admitted there was a sense around the club that they were destined for the Championship.
"There was a lot of talk about having a pot of money to prepare for the next challenge in the Championship, but I enjoy a challenge and I'm determined.
"It's something I'll look back with great satisfaction on."
And asked how it ranked alongside his achievements in management, Pulis replied: "It's right up there.
"It's a great achievement by the players, the players have been wonderful. They've bought into what we've tried to do and tonight we played some very, very good football and scored some good goals."

Mr. President, please put our veterans' jobs bill back on the table.
Eager to shoot down President Obama's legislative agenda just weeks before the election, Senate Republicans blocked a measure that would have provided $1 billion over five years to help veterans find work in their communities. The measure, which would have potentially created jobs for our veterans, was blocked on a procedural point.
It's both shocking and shameful that Republicans chose to kill a bill to put America's veterans back to work.
At a time when one in four young veterans is unemployed Republicans should have been able, for just this once, to put aside the politics of obstruction and to help our service men and women provide for themselves and their families. Some Republicans, five of whom voted for the bill, also seemed disappointed about the failure of legislation that had the veneer of bipartisan support.
These men and women have worn our uniform, shouldered the burden and faced unthinkable dangers in forward areas during a very dangerous time.
This Congress let partisan bickering stand in the way of putting thousands of America's heroes back to work. Lowering veteran unemployment is something both parties should be able to agree on.
Frank Hairston, Ravenna Township
Frank, what your seeing is the Republican philosophy of "Harvesting", to acquire an asset, manicure the asset for extracting its value, extract the value, then dispose of that asset. In this particular instance the Asset are men and women who fought for our country, many times to their own determent. This means nothing to the Republican. The Republican believes the Soldiers got their three meals, what more do they want? A handout? Free things? Funny thing about that "free things", the Vet fought for our FREEdom and when it comes time for US to pay the full price the Republican wants to flee responsibility for the cost, the Republican effectively wants it for FREE.
AMT makes good points. If harry worthless reid wanted to really help our economy he would have allowed house bills passed last August to keep current tax rates come up for Senate vote. but no so from dingy harry...he rules the Senate and nothing goes but what he says so.
This was merely the usualDemocrat political stunt. from blog.militaryauthority.com: "Republican Tom Coburn also stated that the U.S. already has six jobs programs already earmarked for veterans and little accounting of how effective these jobs programs are.
Republicans also objected to the $1 billion price tag, coming at a time when other government programs were being rolled back.
Some GOP members objected to the provision in the law that exempted Vietnam-era veterans from consideration for the program.
Additionally, the Republicans also objected on procedural grounds, stating that the Constitution requires spending and budget matters to originate in the House, not the Senate. The law is not expected to pass the Republican-led House of Representatives.
And finally, Republicans also pointed out that the bill did not conform to the Budget Control Act of 2011, which imposes a zero sum game on all Senate committees for new spending. If any committee wants to add funding for any veterans program, it must strip that money from another veterans program.
According to Republicans, the bill violated budget caps agreed to by both parties last year. Republicans raised a point of order pointing out the violation of the Budget Control Act."

House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Energy and Power Subcommittee Chairman Ed Whitfield (R-KY) sounded a note of caution following today's announcement that the EPA will extend the deadline for issuing its final standards for cooling water intake structures, known as the 316(b) rule, by one year. Upton and Whitfield have been leaders in the fight against EPA's regulatory assault that, when this suite of complex new rules is taken altogether, threaten countless jobs and would cause significant economic harm.
Upton and Whitfield made the following statement:
"Today's announcement is an acknowledgement that President Obama's EPA is regulating too much too fast and that there are flaws in the underlying proposed rule. Pressure from Congress and the public, along with the threat of looming litigation, has forced the agency to reconsider its action. This stay of execution is good news for jobs, but this fight is only delayed a year, it is not over. The 316(b) rule represents yet another major EPA regulation confronting America's power sector that will contribute to higher electricity rates and job losses. EPA continues to push major regulations without fully assessing the costs and consequences for consumers.
"In a similar vein, EPA announced on Friday that it would reconsider certain aspects of its costly Utility MACT rule. We have repeatedly asked EPA to provide a cost estimate for this rule, but to date, we have not received an adequate response. Our own analysis shows the total cost of this rule could total over a hundred billion dollars.
"EPA's reckless red tape brigade is causing great uncertainty for job-creators at a time when American businesses can least afford it. Rather than continuing to play this game of temporary political retreat, EPA must be transparent from the start of its rulemaking process. As our economy struggles to recover, it is critical to fully understand the costs of EPA's rules, and their impacts on energy reliability, before they are imposed. We have passed commonsense solutions like the TRAIN Act to protect jobs and our fragile recovery, ensuring the Obama EPA conducts a true cost-benefit analysis of its rules before issuing them rather than blindly moving forward with a damaging regulatory agenda."

When memoirist and head writer for The A.V. Club Nathan Rabin first set out to write about obsessed music fans, he had no idea the journey would take him to the deepest recesses of both the pop culture universe and his own mind. For two very curious years, Rabin, who Mindy Kaling called "smart and funny" in The New Yorker, hit the road with two of music's most well-established fanbases: Phish's hippie fans and Insane Clown Posse's notorious "Juggalos." Musically or style-wise, these two groups could not be more different from each other, and Rabin, admittedly, was a cynic about both bands. But once he gets deep below the surface, past the caricatures and into the essence of their collective cultures, he discovers that both groups have tapped into the human need for community. Rabin also grapples with his own mental well-being--he discovers that he is bipolar--and his journey is both a prism for cultural analysis and a deeply personal exploration, equal parts humor and heart.

Rabin, former head writer for The Onion A.V. Club, takes on two disparate, much-lampooned music fandoms in this memoir, accounting for his years recreationally following the jam band Phish and professionally covering "Juggalos", fans of Detroit horrorcore hip-hop act Insane Clown Posse. He becomes a participant in each culture, his appreciation shifting from ironic to earnest, and realizes profound truths about his health, relationships, and career. These communities contain multitudes of troubled lives and drug casualties, but Rabin also encounters truly thoughtful and fascinating people in each fandom. This is less surprising when speaking about Phish's comparatively sophisticated music; the ICP material is the true revelation. Popular imagery of ICP and juggalos is colored by classism, and readers who hope to have their self-superior biases confirmed will be disappointed; a credit to Rabin's evenhandedness. Whether or not you enjoy either act, the story is a universal one about the ways we connect with the music we adore. By making it personal, and by profiling such a broad spectrum of fans, Rabin puts a human face on what would be caricatures. Agent: Daniel Greenberg, Levine Greenberg Literary Agency. (June)

Happy Friday! The big news this week, of course, came courtesy of Apple on Wednesday when they introduced a whole bunch of new stuff, like a new iPhone, new iPods and (apparently) a new executive dress code.
But, fret not, Apple-haters! There were plenty of other shenanigans in the tech world. To wit...
Fujitsu announced this week that they're developing a software robot that can pass the math portion of Japanese college entrance exams. Here's how far along they are: the robot's already having trouble getting a date.
William Moggridge, the inventor of the laptop computer, died last Saturday at the age of 69. Per his wishes, he was buried in a casket made of durable, water resistant neoprene with soft handles for comfortable travel.
As part of its iPhone 5 announcement on Wednesday, Apple also introduced its 8-pin connector cable called Lightning. While they were at it, they also announced a patent infringement lawsuit against the National Weather Service.
GoDaddy said their outage on Monday was caused by corrupt router tables. They still have no explanation for their Danica Patrick ads.
RadioShack announced this week that they're offering a no-contract wireless service. You'll be free to cancel the service without penalty at anytime but you'll have to pay a penalty if you ever buy batteries anywhere else.

He is the former St Paul's Cathedral chorister who spends much of his time on a farm and sends secret signals to his wife when he plays for his country.
And today Alastair Cook claimed his place among the cricketing greats when he set an England record for the most Test centuries and became the youngest player in the long history of the game to pass 7,000 runs.
The famously shy 27-year-old, who helps wife Alice Hunt on his in-laws' Bedfordshire farm, scored his 23rd Test hundred to leave England closing in on a rare series win in India.
Cook marked the historic innings with a trademark touch of his ear and glance to the sky, thought to be a personal message to Alice.
The hundred took the England captain past a clutch of stellar names including Wally Hammond, Colin Cowdrey, Geoffrey Boycott and Kevin Pietersen to become England's all-time leading centurion.
BBC presenter Gary Lineker tweeted: "What a magnificent batsman Alastair Cook is."
Cook shuns Twitter, Myspace and the trappings of modern celebrity. He married his childhood sweetheart Alice this year — then left the church on a tractor. However, it was his singing voice not his cricketing skills that initially marked him out for greatness.
Cook won a place at the prestigious choir school at St Paul's Cathedral after he was spotted as an eight-year-old singing at his local church in the Essex village of Wickham Bishops.
His acclaimed treble voice saw him go on to travel with the choir to Holland and Brazil. On one occasion the choristers were joined by Kiwi soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
Despite displaying early artistic talents, Cook focused eventually on the sport that would make him famous.
Teachers recall him being dragged out of a science lesson to score a hundred against his own school when a visiting MCC team turned up a player short and Cook was asked to make up the numbers.
Today his performance was hailed by the experts.
Former England opener Boycott predicted the young England captain would go on to score around 40 Test hundreds in his career, launching him into the same elite group as Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar, Australian Ricky Ponting and South African Jacques Kallis.
Boycott said: "He's going to get a lot more unless he suffers some serious illness or injury. He'll be way up towards 40 by the time he's finished."Reuse content

Re: Newbie question - saving file in command-line
There's a section "Session Logging" in Roman Maeder's book,
Programming in Mathematica that tells you exactly how to do this.
Section 9.4.3 even tells you how to save the log as a notebook.
I occasionally use these methods for running long calculations in batch
mode. But the notebook interface is so much better for anything

I am a new user of Mathematica, and tend to use the command-line version
more than the notebook interface. I would like to know how I can save my

all my input and output so that when I open the .nb file in the notebook
interface, all my work will still be intact.
Thank you.

I like when Jeff points out stuff that he thinks they might have not noticed. If you have only been in 2 challenged your team does not need you. And I thought the same thing-she went after the other girl first. I kept yelling for someone to kick the thing. Everyone was looking at people's arms.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Police in western Pennsylvania say they have found the body of a woman missing for several days, and a man has been arrested in her death.
Allegheny County homicide detectives said the body of Jill Clark, 50, of Tarentum was found shortly after 7 a.m. Saturday near a utility road in Plum Borough.
Police said she had apparently been beaten to death. An autopsy is scheduled to determine the cause and manner of death.
Thomas Clark, 50, has been charged with homicide, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. A number listed for the couple had been disconnected and it was unclear whether he had an attorney.
Authorities said earlier that Clark was being sought after she hadn't shown up for work after an argument with her husband.

'Hobbit,' 'Frozen' lead box office
LOS ANGELES — Over the bustling post-Christmas weekend, Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" continued to lead the box office, landing in the No. 1 slot for the third weekend in a row.
The Warner Bros. prequel earned $30 million, bringing the domestic gross to $190.3 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday.
Disney's animated adventure, "Frozen," took the No. 2 position, earning $28.9 million over the weekend and $248.4 million domestically after six weeks at the multiplex.
"'Frozen' probably had the best release date of the year because they positioned themselves to completely dominate the family film marketplace over the holidays," said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak. "To be No. 2 in its sixth week is a total reflection of that."
Reigning box-office champion "Hobbit," "really contributed to this record box office that we have at the end of the year," he added.
"With 'Hobbit' and 'Frozen,' we are talking $450 million at the box office between those two films alone. They are absolutely killing it here at the end of the year."
Paramount held two slots in the top five over the weekend, with the comedies "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," starring Will Farrell, and "The Wolf of Wall Street," featuring Leonardo DiCaprio. Sequel "Anchorman 2" came in at No. 3 with $20.2 million, and Martin Scorsese's dark comedy, "The Wolf of Wall Street," took the No. 5 spot, earning $19 million after opening at No. 2 on Christmas Day with $9.15 million.
"Some people are calling the performance of 'Anchorman' a bit of a disappointment, but it will be a $100 million gross at the end of the day," Dergarabedian said. "All of the marketing certainly raised its profile. It will have a good showing."
"Anchorman" met studio expectations over the Christmas holiday.
"We are thrilled and we feel the movie will play well in theaters for a while," said Don Harris, president of distribution at Paramount. "The first film brought in $84 million, and this one will be well north of that."
At nearly three hours long, "Wolf" does not have as many showings in a day as the rest of the pictures currently in theaters, yet it's holding its own at the multiplex. "The movie is very much out there in terms of content, and that's a good thing," added Harris. "It's different than anything else in the marketplace. I think people are surprised that it's a lot of fun."
Sony Pictures corruption saga, "American Hustle," made $19.6 million. David O. Russell's entertaining take on the Abscam investigation of the 1970s, starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper, has grossed $60 million domestically and gained seven Golden Globe nominations.
Estimated ticket sales below are for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak. Where available, latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included.
1. "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug," $30 million ($98.3 million international)
2. "Frozen," $28.9 million ($50.5 million international)
3. "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues," $20.2 million ($8 million international)
4. "American Hustle," $19.6 million ($1.7 million international)
5. "The Wolf of Wall Street," $19 million ($6.5 million international)
6. "Saving Mr. Banks," $14.3 million ($300,000 international)
7. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," $13 million ($27.2 million international)
8. "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," $10.2 million ($9 million international)
9. "47 Ronin," $9.9 million ($13.8 million international)
10. "Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas," $7.4 million

Desert Aids Project honors Malayisa Airlines victims, AIDS researchers, advocates
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Among the victims of the Malaysian Airlines disaster Thursday were at least 100 HIV/AIDS researchers and advocates. The International AIDS Society said a number of its members were on board.
"These are men and women who dedicate their own lives to saving the lives of others," said President Barack Obama. "They were taken from us in a senseless act."
The group, committed to finding a cure to the deadly disease,will never make it to the 2014 International AIDS Conference in Australia, scheduled for this Sunday.
The flag at the Desert AIDS Project in Palm Springs flies at half-staff and flowers were placed in honor of the victims. One of them was prominent Dutch scientist and world-renowned HIV researcher, Dr. Joep Lange, former president of the International AIDS Society.
"What if the cure for Aids was on that plane?" asked Barry Dayton, the director of marketing and communications at the Desert AIDS Project.
Lange worked tirelessly to get affordable AIDS drugs for HIV positive patients living in poor countries.
"We're all just bracing ourselves to arrive and find out who else may have been on that flight. It's just, it's unbelievable. It's not really real yet," said AIDS researcher Dr. Maria Ekstrand.
"What none of us will ever know is what is the intellectual capital that went down with that plane," said Dayton.
The world health organization told CNN that their spokesman, Glenn Thomas, was on board the doomed flight. His life and so many others were cut tragically short.
