Report: Brian Burke in demand
By TERRY KOSHAN, QMI Agency
Could the Brian Burke era in Toronto be close to an actual end?
Fired as Maple Leafs general manager in January, Burke became an adviser with the organization.
TSN reported on Tuesday night that at least one team has asked the Leafs for permission to talk to Burke for a non-GM role, believed to be as a consultant or a scout. During his final news conference in Toronto, Burke said he wanted to be a GM in the NHL again as soon as possible.

How to cut Sight Glass Tube?
I am doing some preparatory work on refurbishing the boiler for my IP Jane/PPS Janet rebuild, and I noticed that the top part of the sight glass tube was broken inside the holder.
This has been removed, and I have some spare glass tube with this boiler. However it is too long.
So how do I cut this sight glass tube to length, making a nice clean cut so it fits into the recessed cup of the holders?
score it all the way round the diameter with a dremel cutting wheel and then tap it. it will break around the score line.
Roger seems to be away at the moment, but he mentioned cutting glass tubing the other day.
While I have a purpose-made tubing cutter, Roger's way (the old way) does the same thing.
With a sharp and hard triangular file, wetted with turps or kerosene, preferably,
file a score mark all the way around the glass.
Then break it inside a cloth to protect your hands.
If the score is there the glass will break nice and clean.
It really need be only a scratch deep enough to catch your fingernail in;
that is, you don't have to file all that deep.
It works like cutting ceramic tiles, as you say just a scratch is enough. You must have some pretty hard files to mark glass, i would have to use my diamond files to do that.
I cut the tubing like Reid describes above with the edge of a file...though I just make one firm scribe and then wrap it in a few layers of rag and just snap the glass tube with the thumbs.
To remove the sharp edge, I just hold the glass against a piece of Emery paper (very fine sandpaper) and take off the sharpness. I have also used a dremel to do this with a rotating sandpaper disk.
I've not tried torching the end of the glass to melt the sharpness off, will give that a try next time.
OK thanks for your quick postings.
I found several references to glass tube cutting for laboratories on the internet, and this one covers the bending and fire polishing as well -
I'll use the remaining piece of the broken tube to practice on.
Thanks for your help.

I really wish I could hire somebody to come over here and sit with me and show me all the awesome things this thing could do with a person that knows what they're doing, which isn't me. The good news is, I did it!! Yes, I know, it probably would take someone else 30 minutes to do it and it took me 3 hours, but I feel so good now that I figured it out all by my little self!
Now that I've got what I wanted cut out, I hope the project's turn out. Yep, you heard me right. Projects. 2 at once. Not knowing what the heck I'm doing. 'Cause that's how I roll. Make things harder than they should be!

Get Your MyTouch 3G Slide from Walmart for Only $129.99
4.8By Michael Perlmutter June 01, 2010 05:43 AM
Htcpedia news:
HTC's newest entry level android device, the myTouch 3G Slide has been often seen hovering around $200 dollars with a 2-year contract. While this isn't a bad price at all for a new low end, but fully capable, Android model handset, the mark down makes it hard not to consider. The phone itself has a handful of well equipped features, most promising is the slide out QWERTY keyboard phone for a budget price. The pricing is with a 2-year contract as well, and only $139.99 with no contract re-up if you're do in for an upgrade by your carrier.
While it will only pack half the processing speed of an EVO and a Droid Incredible, keep in mind this phone this phone is a 2010 HTC Android, which HTC has promised a guaranteed Anrdoid Froyo update for. With that in place expect even this low end entry phone to clock in faster than some of the high end 2009s pre Froyo. With boasts like that it's hard not to see 2010 as the year of the Android.You can check it all out here: Walmart

Let's close the book on the crazy tale titled The Salahis.
Michaele and Tareq Salahi's divorce is now final, reports TMZ.
A Virginia judge signed the divorce decree Monday, reports NVDaily.com.
According to the decree, there is a pre-nup and a post-nup, which takes care of dividing all their assets.
More: Tareq Salahi: 'This is not a publicity stunt.'
Even that most recent lawsuit filed by Tareq -- asked for $50 million after Michaele ran off with Journey guitarist Neal Schon last year -- has been settled.
NVDaily reports that Tareq Salahi said he was exchanging text messages with his wife during Monday's hearing and is communicating regularly with her. He said she is traveling with Journey on the band's tour. "We're friends," he said of Michaele. "We had 11 good years together."
And Tareq told TMZ, "I do wish Michaele the best and now I can focus on my race for governor of Virginia."
But that'll be another story.

London (AFP) Jan 23, 2013
British researchers said Wednesday they have developed train carriages that can reduce deaths and injuries in terror attacks by using plastic-coated windows and measures to prevent flying debris.
The New Rail research centre at Newcastle University analysed the carriages hit in the July 7, 2005 attacks on the London Underground and conducted a test explosion on a decommissioned carriage to study the impact on its structure.
The three-year SecureMetro project focused on containing the blast impact and reducing debris, which is the main cause of death and injury in such explosions and an obstacle for the emergency services trying to reach injured passengers.
The researchers on the EU-funded project said the solutions they developed were relatively cheap to implement.
They conducted another test explosion on a prototype design, which had ceiling panels and features held in place with retention wire and plastic-coated windows to prevent potentially lethal glass shards being blown outwards.
The new design also had lighter, energy-absorbing materials in place of heavier structures.
"The Madrid bombings in 2004 and the 7/7 attack in London the year after highlighted how vulnerable our trains are to attack -- particularly busy metro and commuter trains," said project leader Conor O'Neill.
"Completely replacing existing vehicles just isn't an option. Instead, we have developed and incorporated new technology and materials into existing carriages to improve performance.
"What we've shown is that companies could make some relatively cost-effective and simple modifications that would significantly improve the outcome of an attack."
In blowing up the decommissioned metro carriage, the team looked at how the blast wave progressed along the coach to understand how the interior features reacted.
Using high-speed cameras, they examined the blast in slow motion.
"Preventing flying objects is the key," said O'Neill.
"Tethering ceiling panels reduced the risk of fatalities and injury from flying shrapnel and also meant the gangways were kept relatively clear of debris.
"The window coating we developed was also incredibly effective. Without it the windows are blown outwards -- putting anyone outside, such as those standing on a platform, at risk from flying glass.
"With the plastic coating you see a clear rippling effect as the blast moves through the train but every window remains intact apart from the safety windows which are designed to be easily knocked out."
O'Neill said a bomb on a train was always going to be devastating but there were clear ways to help mitigate their impact.
"These are all low-cost, simple solutions that can be put on existing trains which could not only save lives but also reduce the attractiveness of our railways for potential terrorist attacks," he said.
The project says it is in a position to advise the rail industry in redesigning carriages.

Douglas H Fehr
I am a licensed psychologist with over twenty years of clinical experience in assisting individuals, couples, and families in achieving their goals. I have a Bachelor's degree in psychology and Master's and Doctoral (Ph.D.) degrees in clinical psychology.
After ten years in academia where I taught at the graduate level and trained and supervised other mental health professionals, I entered private practice in Los Angeles and Orange County. In working with clients, I strive to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect. I work collaboratively with clients, balancing support with mutual responsibility for their developing skill in coping with stressful life issues and personal challenges.
Throughout my years of practice and teaching as I strove to develop the most effective methods of helping persons, I adopted an integrative approach to therapy. By providing a variety of services fit together to match the needs of each client I can offer a comprehensive range of counseling methods in a dynamic, personalized process tailored to each client's needs. Through complementary modalities and techniques of treatment, I am able to address the full gamut of perceptual, thinking, and behavioral patterns that can hold a person back from experiencing a fulfilling and meaningful life.
I also work with persons seeking personal growth and greater self understanding in order to enhance the quality of their lives. Though successful, they have a vision of themselves beyond where they are - in their careers, their personal experiences, and in their general outlook on life. By adding psychological expertise to life coaching methods, I work with my clients in a paradigm of accelerated personal development.
In 2009, I began working online with the goal to provide the same quality of professional services online as I offer in my office setting. I now offer my psychological expertise remotely via the internet enabling my clients to schedule their counseling sessions from the comfort and privacy of their home or office. Online counseling is now a preferred option for many clients. Busy schedules and convenience are typical reasons clients give for choosing to have their counseling sessions over the internet. Other clients mention the privacy and confidentiality offered by online sessions. For those clients who travel extensively, it is the flexibility of being able to schedule their appointments from almost anywhere in the world that is attractive. And if you are tentative about seeing a counselor, you may find that being able to do so online can be a more comfortable way for you to get started.

Touchstone: A Journal of Mere Christianity
"A Porch to Talk On" first appeared in the Fall 1997 issue of Touchstone.
FSJ & Touchstone Fundraising
95% raised: $512,653
A Porch to Talk On
We at Touchstone have been criticized more than once for calling our magazine "A Journal of Ecumenical Orthodoxy." I cannot think of a better name for what we are interested in here, but I understand that not every Christian will be able to resonate well to our call. Not everyone has an instinct for what the expression tries to describe, nor are all who do have this intuition able to sense its boundaries or see the importance of its cultivation. My own experience leads me to expect ambivalence or hostility towards the idea in Christians who are angry at some other segment of the Church, or among those who practice their religion mostly "at home." The impressions that make "ecumenical orthodoxy" a plausible idea most frequently arise from encouraging contact with believers of fellowships other than one's own, and the conviction gained in these experiences that genuine and robust Christianity can exist in these places, too.
On this we cordially agree with those who (mistakenly, we think) accuse us of minimalism—watering down the faith to make it go further: A hail-fellow-well-met ecumenism infected with the desire to be well-spoken of by all is cowardly, uncharitable, and futile. The kind we seek arises from discovery of the appearance that Christians of other communions, in accordance with their level of understanding, believe in and confess the same Jesus Christ—yes, that is the center, and is why the ecumenical creeds are important to us. The perception that this belief and confession is that of the Christian Church as a living, historical entity, rises like a mountain of light above our many disagreements. We are dealing here, as C. S. Lewis said, with "no insipid interdenominational transparency, but something positive, self-consistent, and inexhaustible."
That, however, is insufficient basis for a reunion celebration. You will find none of that nonsense in Touchstone. We are realists who never have had the intention of reducing Christian belief to the lowest common denominator so as to include as many as possible, rejoicing when we can expand the periphery enough to let yet another odd duck slip in. We do not require the hope of better agreement, much less union (on this earth) to keep us going. Rather, we begin with the vision of an already existing family, divided so far that it has become difficult even to understand each other's speech. Like brothers who have quarreled in our youth and gone our separate ways, we are now getting older, finding the world cold, stale, and hostile to the name we share, wondering whether we might now be able to at least sit on the porch and try to talk, our differences notwithstanding.
And we have come at least this far in our discussion: agreement that it's better to hang together than hang separately, since the same mob is after us both. I am a Protestant who hasn't heard anyone attack my Catholic brother (or my estranged father in Rome) lately for anything involving our old disagreements, but only for pointing to the splendor of the truth before which the whole Family bows. If I hear that his house is being attacked for this, what sort of misbegotten knave would I be if I didn't pick up my arms and stand with him? After we're done beating off the army of sodomites, abortionists, pornographers, corrupters of youth, family-haters, feminists, modernists, cultists, and the rest of them, maybe we can get back to arguing with one another on whether Christians are obliged to believe our Lady's body was assumed into heaven or the pope can speak infallibly. And maybe we'll be too tired (or dead) to bother. No, for this alone we reject the entreaties of our correspondents who would, in the name of an unadulterated faith or the impossibility of our task, put us off what we are doing.
Besides, none of us here has the intention of yielding an inch of conviction to gain anyone's favor. Those who head this organization have undergone numerous trials for the common faith and have given up much comfort, security, favor, and preferment to preserve their consciences before God. Most of us have become alienated from loved ones, been denied or forced out of excellent jobs—or, if allowed to stay in our places, censured or exposed to ridicule and more subtle forms of exclusion—made to leave denominations in which we might have been able to keep our positions if we had been able to rationalize or stay quiet about the evil and the corruption we were seeing in high places. Perhaps worst of all, we have been suspected by orthodox brethren who haven't the desire or capacity to understand what we are about. We have endured being patronized as peevish, eccentric, or unrealistic, when we are not that at all, but very normal people who like to be liked and entertain no perverse desires to eat strange foods or swim against the stream. We are not idealistic novices here, but experienced campaigners, full of scars and sorrows, with eyes on ultimate things.
There is a threshold of recognition below which others will not be able to understand what we are about or to join our labors. Likewise, we ourselves have limits outside of which we would consider someone else's version of ecumenical orthodoxy either too constricted or promiscuous. It is the exploration of these frontiers and survey of the ground that lies between that is the main business of Touchstone and the Fellowship of St. James. What may seem an exceedingly odd combination of breadth and narrowness is required for enthusiasm about this project. In our defense I also will say that we do not think we invented all this. Rather, the fellowship and its journal are the products of our attempt to discern and cooperate with a work we perceive God already is doing in many other places, and will continue to do whether or not our organization is here to appreciate, interpret, and advance it.
My maternal grandfather was a fundamentalist minister. While making his pastoral rounds he frequently stopped at the farm of an elderly Roman Catholic widow to buy eggs, and over the years they got to know each other quite well. A few years before Grandpa died, he was overheard saying, "You know, I don't think Catholics can go to heaven—but if they could, Mrs. Kowalski would be right up at the head of the line." And there is little doubt Mrs. Kowalski felt the same way, mutatis mutandis, about her friend the Baptist priest. We at Touchstone think that there is reason for their hope, reason firmly based on the faith that has been held by all Christians, everywhere, and at all times. We are a kind of counterpart to the porch on which Grandpa and Mrs. Kowalski sat and talked of Christ and of his Church.

27. 01. 2010 - Czech Airlines Wins the Rhodos - Image Award Again
Prague, 27 January 2009
Czech Airlines has won the prestigious Rhodos corporate image award in the airline category for the second time in a row. This award confirms that Czech Airlines is perceived as a brand with a good image.
In the 12th annual competition for the most impressive image run by the Rhodos civic association, selected sectors of manufacturing and services were rated in twelve categories. Czech Airlines won the airlines category, ranking ahead of Lufthansa and British Airways.
The main purpose of the "Rhodos – Image Award" survey is to evaluate the images of companies from selected sectors of manufacturing and services and then put together a ranking of the three best companies in each category. The ranking of companies with the most impressive image is compiled every year on the basis of a representative survey which involves senior managers from randomly selected companies from all over the country. They are asked to spontaneously name five companies in each sector and to evaluate to what extent each of the companies meets the parameters that best capture the image of companies in the given sector. The resulting ranking of companies is the product of a combination of awareness and image. t is not possible to enter or sign up for the competition, nor can the ranked companies influence the results in any way. Te following categories were announced for 2009: banks, travel agencies, petrol stations, arlines, retail chains, insurance companies, instalment payment companies, construction companies, telephone operators, car manufacturers, mobile telephone manufacturers and manufacturers of consumer electronics.

* When the user clicks a mp3 file, instead of missing codec errors there will be a popup where the user can either choose to learn about Free (in both ways) alternatives or click to install the free codec supplied by Fluendo (Fleundo has the necessary patent licenses so this is a legal in US) which is under a MIT X11 license or cancel the whole thing. The user experience here is very similar to what happens when you visit a website which needs Flash plugin the first time in Firefox except that in addition we would explain to them that there are better Free alternatives and the reason why we don't provide these codecs by default in Fedora. This way we get to keep Fedora entirely Free and open source software while solving the usability issue of not being able to play some of the content to a good extend (wont be very helpful folks who dont network access so it is not 100% solved yet).
* For the other paid as well as proprietary codecs, the user would be directed to a Fedora Project page where they can again learn about better Free alternatives. In the page we would also list Fluendo as a vendor providing licensed and paid proprietary codecs. If there are vendors who are involved we can very well list them. So there is a level playing field here.

Each Cleric has a spell slot for each spell level above 0th-level for the preparation of 1 of his 2 possible domain spells. This slot is in addition to normal spell progression from class level.
This slot can not be used to prepare spells not granted by his selected domains, nor may it be used for spontaneous casting.
NWN comparisonEdit
- NWN domains only provided a few spells, not 1 spell at each spell level.
- Domain spells in NWN could be prepared in any available spell slot of the correct level. There was no specific domain spell slot.

Acclaimed authors Ian Rankin and Paullina Simons have a plan to lure people back to literature with a mash-up of their work titled Break-In at Tiffany's.
The modern godfather of crime fiction and the first lady of old-fashioned romance are in Canberra for separate book tours and discussions but came together at the Hyatt where literary sparks flew.
''I'll start the book, it'll be like my next Lily and Spencer book [the characters from her novel The Girl in Times Square] and then you'll come in and do your thing,'' Simons said to Rankin, the man who created the 19-book series focusing on Scotland's best detective, Inspector Rebus.
''Can there be a heist?'' Rankin replied.
''Oh a shoe heist would be great,'' she said.
''No! That's too 'you', it'll have to be a jewel theft and a love story,'' Rankin confirmed.
As the pair devised a writing plan, ''I'll write one chapter, then Ian will write the next and so on,'' she said, the beginning of a new super ''choose your own crime and romantic adventure'' genre may have been born.
The plan to combine their poetic powers was put to them by Fairfax Media and not a publishing house. Rankin and Simons said their combined story may be better suited to Hollywood than the finely crafted world of fiction writing.
However both agreed it could be the published writer's answer to reclaiming readers from the fan fiction phenomenon created and spurred on by titles such as Fifty Shades of Grey and the Twilight saga.
Both said online fan fiction is a good place for an aspiring wordsmith to carve a career but suggested the world wide web could be a budding young writer's friend and foe when looking to get noticed.
''Gone are the days when magazines published short stories and audio series were broadcasted twice a day on the radio, even though there are all of these options online people need to read everything to see what people are writing and from there do something different,'' Rankin said.
Rankin admits his love of writing started with fan fiction in his early teens before his first book was published in 1986, when he was 25.
''It started with comic books, but I used my own characters, I was crap at drawing though. Then, luckily, I got into music, but I was crap at that so I just wrote lyrics for my imaginary pop group. I wrote all their lyrics and I would plan their imaginary tours and put them on imaginary chat shows, I would just write down all of these ideas on notepads,'' he said.
''The more you read the richer you become, it gives you words and allows you ways to develop and say what you really want to say,'' Simons added.
Paullina Simons' new book, Children of Liberty, and Standing in Another Man's Grave, the latest Rebus novel by Ian Rankin, are out now.

After 4 years of waiting, and a rather unfortunately line-up change that left one of the few metal bands to keep it's original fold together so long splintered, Blind Guardian has given us a taste of what is to come for the 2006 release season. Unlike what many have suggested, I have few questions and most of the answers that I'm looking for, and that is how the line-up change would affect the band.
Frederik Ehmke is pretty much a carbon copy of Thomen Stauch in terms of both style and sound, and to this I have absolutely no complaints. You don't mess with perfection by taking on someone with a radically different sound simply for the sake of cutting ties with the past. Stauch didn't see eye to eye with the others on the musical direction of the band, and opted to create his own band, and now we have 2 bands that have a somewhat similar sound, but whom have a very different philosophy about where metal should go. Blind Guardian has opted to paint their sound with a more progressive edge, while Savage Circus seeks to keep the older Speed Metal version of Blind Guardian's past alive. Both of these approaches are correct in my view, as they help to continue to both grow and keep the genre centered, and I am actually glad that things turned out as they did.
The songs on here represent the dual nature of the studio album that would soon follow, one that is in my top 3 for the best release of 2006. "Fly" represents the further expansion of the progressive sound that first appeared on "A Night at the Opera", complete with a very processed sounding production and loads of contrasting musical sections. "Skalds and Shadows" is, by contrast, a revisiting of the classic ballad approach that made "A Past and Future Secret" an instant classic. This version lacks many additional textural dressings that would appear on the album version, but is a pleasant, quasi-Blackmore's Night ballad that keeps the spirit of BG's Middle Earth sound alive.
The cover song "In a Gadda Da Vida" is, surprisingly, the highlight of this single. I used to be a huge fan of the original Iron Butterfly song before getting into Metal, and I can confidently say that I prefer this version to the original. It's more time compressed, and consequently less boring, and given a good healthy does of BG style guitar harmonizing. André Olbrich is still tearing up the fret board with the best of them, and his wah pedal dominated solo on here gives this song a slightly Jimi Hendrix character.
In conclusion, this is a great single that is worthy of picking up even if you already have "A Twist in the Myth" in your collection. The Iron Butterfly cover, alone, is worth the few bucks to pic it up, and I suspect the next compilation of BG rarities will not be coming out for quite a while.

Short Courses (CPD)
Short Courses (CPD)
About the Course
High Precision GNSS using Post-Processing
- Thursday 23 - Friday 24 November 2017
High-precision GNSS underpins the delivery of Network Real-Time Kinematic positioning services but can also be employed for a variety of more precise surveying and engineering applications, such as high order control establishment and deformation monitoring, if the data are post-processed.
This two day course explores, in detail, the various GNSS error sources that inhibit precise coordinate determination and examines ways of mitigating these errors using additional data and methods available in post-processing mode.
The course introduces error theory and provides ample opportunity for real-world practical analysis through the use of Leica Geo Office GNSS post-processing software (Leica Geosystems). Extensive practical examples are designed to immediately reinforce theoretical concepts and rely on specially designed data sets, covering a wide range of real-world conditions and problems. The goal of the exercises is to let the participants develop a feeling of processing accuracy and precision levels and ways of improving them, using the options offered by the software.
Who is the course aimed at?
The course is aimed at practitioners who are already familiar with basic GNSS and Network RTK, and provides a highly relevant follow-on course for delegates who have attended the three-day GNSS and Network RTK course.
Objectives and Outline
High Precision GNSS using Post-Processing
Course Outline
We always welcome questions from the participants and we may be even able to adjust the course flow to cover questions arising in discussion, if time allows.
The course topics include:
- Drivers for use of CORS networks and post-processing
- Getting, understanding, and working with CORS data and GNSS orbital products
- GNSS processing and overcoming problems: practical exercises
- Which type of orbit products do you need?
- Accounting for antenna phase centre variations
- Modelling ionosphere: what can go wrong with single-frequency data?
- Ways of mitigating tropospheric errors: relative positioning and modelling the atmospheric delay
- Understanding Ocean Tide Loading
- What session duration is needed in different circumstances?
- GNSS heighting
- What do the solution quality indicators tell you? Can you always trust them?
- Thursday 23 - Friday 24 November 2017
Further Information
High Precision GNSS using Post-Processing
Although we will be providing a training data set for all the participants, the participants are welcome to bring their own data sets in order to use them as additional examples in practical processing exercises. However, in order to make sure that the precious course time is spent most efficiently, we need to define some rules these data sets have to abide by:
- The data must be collected within Great Britain between 28 October 2017 and 8 November 2017. These time limits are dictated by OS reference data availability on one hand and the readiness of precise orbital products on another;
- All the data must be accompanied by clear log sheets, showing the approximate location of the site, date and time of the start and the end of every session, the make and type of the receiver and antenna used, antenna height, GNSS (was GLONASS used?), sampling interval and elevation cut-off angle used, and any other notes that may be relevant to the session;
- The data must be in RINEX v2 format or you must be able to convert them to RINEX v2 on the spot;
- The data must be collected with sampling interval of 30 s, or reducible to this interval;
- The data should be collected using a receiver and an antenna listed in igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/igscb/station/general/rcvr_ant.tab.
If you have doubts about your data conforming to any of the mentioned rules, feel free to email your question or the whole data set to us no later than 16 November 2017.
We cannot guarantee the success of the processing even if all the above conditions are satisfied. Examples of confounding factors are: insufficient length of the session, local sky view obstructions, and other site-related effects. However, a negative result can teach a lot about how to do and how not to do GNSS surveys and processing.

Well, it's taken 5 episodes but finally some genuine personalities are beginning to emerge. Sure, we unfortunately already had Blayne, the overtanned troll doll with his sack o'catchphrases. And then there was the self-proclaimed (and proclaimed and proclaimed) Suede, who at 37 is the oldest living man still using Manic Panic. And there's Jerell who I'm sure would be striving for eccentricity if he knew what that word meant (right now he seems to think it means wearing an abundance of tacky accessories). Not to mention Kenley, with her infuriating giant hair flowers and Bettie Page bangs. But all of these people are calculated characters. They're over-processed personalities in a can. But this week we finally got our first taste of personalities made from scratch, genuine traits, unrehearsed quips, authentic cattiness, and boy does it make a difference.
Stella, with her New Yawk accent and constant biker references, has been a genuine character from the beginning. You can't fake assertions like, "This is for Ahmerica. This is serious." Or, "I like black. Black is cool." Joe is also starting to show signs of a personality, though his is a heady mixture of "nice-guy dad," "passive aggressive sewing crabbiness," "goatee guy," and "possible homophobe." (Though, in fairness, I think Joe meant "There's too much drama, cause there's too many drama queens." Not "There's too much drama, cause there's too many [insert word for gays]." Also, if you were a homophobe, why would you ever work in fashion?)
But chief amongst the emerging genuine characters is Korto–wry, cutting, distinctively smart Korto–who instantly became my favorite contestant so far this season with one simple criticism of Kenley's incessant cackling, "Why does she do that? Just, 'Ha Ha Ha.' Then you're done." Well put, Korto. My second favorite Kortoism was her critique of the other designers' vintage-inspired looks: "It's '08. I live in '08." A sentiment like that is so smooth and so pure--and it doesn't leave a strange, unpleasant, metallic aftertaste like when Blayne tries to get Tim to say "Holla at ya boy!" for the second week in a row.
Still, in this episode even Blayne displayed a truly genuine, unmanufactured character trait: ignorance. Apparently he's never heard of Sgt. Pepper's? But yet he's seen Across The Universe? Tim summed up the situation thusly: "Ugh, youth." But Blayne isn't 16, he's 23. In truth that's more, "Ugh, stupidity." Apparently Blayne lives in a cultural vacuum and is only just now discovering the outside world, which might explain why his design this week looked like something a secluded Belarusian teenager would have made a month after Communism fell in order to look more "western."
Which brings me to the challenge this week: design an outfit for the U.S. Olympic team to wear to the opening ceremony of the summer games and/or an outfit that will bring a tear to Apolo Ohno's heart. In other words: create some patriotic sportswear. Surprisingly, not one of the designers cut up an American flag to create some bellbottoms, hot pants, and halters, a la Dick--though Kelli's look was just as 70s. Really, only a few outfits telegraphed Team USA: Leanne's chic white short set with the red & blue collar looked very American--Grace Kelly to be more specific; Joe's sporty red, white, and blue skort and jacket literally said "USA;" and Korto's winning white wide-leg pants with light cropped leather vest and red and blue details cut a very clean, subtly patriotic silhouette.
But most of the other outfits looked as though they were representing other countries. Michael Kors said that Daniel's purplish blue, red-accented sheath was from the "Republic of Cocktail," which is spot-on. Kelli's red polka-dot blouse and navy a-line skirt was from a very small country, The Wardrobe Dept. Of 9 To 5. Stella's satiny capris and midriff-baring top were from the nation of Club Europa, while Suede's satiny circle skirt ensemble was from a place near there called Ballerina Barbie. Keith's misguided bubble skirt represented Hey Let's Make Everyone Look Fat, a country that shares a border with Unflattering Vintageland, the place Kenley was representing with her high-waisted blue plaid skirt and shiny white Peter Pan-collar blouse.
Terri, true to form, created an ensemble for The Peoples Republic Of Crazypants–a land where the people use striped fabric to bind their breasts so tightly it looks painful, but then they cover it up with a scarf knotted in such a way as to make it appear that their neck is vomiting red fabric. Still, that is a much better place to visit than What The Fuck?, the capital city of Tackyland, which is clearly the country Jarell was trying to represent with his totally overdone mish-mosh of an outfit. With that floppy hat, his poor model resembled one of the lesser known friends of Strawberry Shortcake. But Jennifer's chosen country, Meekville, was the worst of them all. How could she think that a gold striped skirt, paired with a prim black jeweled cardigan would fit the Team USA challenge? It's not sporty, and it doesn't even try to look American. She was the obvious choice to cut, and send back to Meekville, population 1.
Grade: B+
Stray Observations:
--Jennifer was delusional about her own aesthetic right to the end: "I brought something different to Project Runway...with my surrealism." That word doesn't mean what you think it means, Jennifer.
--"There's a lot of bikers in this country who watch the Olympics." If you say so, Stella.
--Jerell wants to see Blayne in bronzer? Is that what he said? Why? He's already tan. Like the concept of restraint, I don't think Jerell has any idea what bronzer is.
--As of right now, I'm doing a "STELLLLLLAAAAAAAA!" watch: a countdown to the inevitable moment when someone on the show screams Stella's name in the style of A Streetcar Named Desire. It has to happen. The question is when and who will do it. I'm predicting Suede in episode 6.
--If the text polls are going to be this irritating ("a.) It's tanlicious b.) It's like leatha"), Bravo needs to institute a default choice of c.) Kill them all.

New Watford signing Odion Ighalo says he will defend the Hornets jersey until "until the last minute" after joining the club on a one-year loan.
The Nigerian striker had been expected to join the Golden Boys and finally signed a deal from sister club Udinese yesterday.
After almost five years at fellow Pozzo-owned side Granada, the 25-year-old is looking forward to the challenge of helping the Hornets reach the top flight.
"I am happy, since I first got the call from the president I've been very happy. It's a good opportunity to help the team gain promotion to the Premier League," he told hornetsplayer.co.uk.
"Two seasons ago I watched the Play-Offs when they almost gained promotion, and I was following Watford because it's the same owner as Granada and Udinese.
"Even last season, I've been watching their games a lot and they're a good team. I'm here to help the team, to do my best and make sure we work hard and gain promotion.
"I'm here to put on a Watford shirt now. I have to defend this jersey until the last minute and until we get our promotion."
Ighalo began his professional career in Nigeria with Prime before joining Julius Berger.
A switch to Norwegian side Lyn followed in 2007 and after nine goals in 20 outings across two seasons, Ighalo moved to Italy to join Udinese.
Used sparingly at Udinese in his first season, Ighalo joined Granada on loan for the 2009/10 campaign and netted 17 times to help the Andaluscian side to promotion.
Returning the following year, the former Nigerian Under-20 cap scored five times as Granada completed back-to-back promotions to reach La Liga.
A brief stint with Serie A outfit Cesena in 2010 proved unsuccessful and Ighalo returned to Los Carmenes to score 12 league goals in his next three seasons as Granada retained their top-flight status.

Optoma HD8200 Projector Review
HD8200 Black Levels & Shadow Detail
Black level performance of the HD8200 is pretty darn good. I have run the HD8200 side by side against the JVC RS20, the Epson Home Cinema 6500UB and others. While the HD8200 can't match most of the ultra-high-contrast 3LCD projectors it comes very close to the Sanyo PLV-Z3000, the least expensive of those, and the one with the least impressive blacks. The HD8200 is comparable, and possibly a bit better in black levels than the BenQ W5000. I reviewed the two projectors a full year apart, so it's hard to confirm that, but, let's say that the HD8200 should be as least as good as the W5000.
The first two images here, are side by side images comparing it to the Epson Home Cinema 6500UB. These images are seriously overexposed. Enough that the blue logo appears white, and the extremely dark background has been lifted enough that you can see the differences in black levels. As you can see, the Epson does have a real advantage. The second image is a more typical scene, from The Dark Knight. There are enough bright lights in this city night scene, that the irises on the two projectors are not able to stop fully down. In a mixed scene such as this, the difference in black level performance is not as immediately noticeable, but still there upon close inspection.
Images of the Starship, from The Fifth Element. The first is our Optoma HD8200. Immediately below it, is the BenQ W20000.
Unfortunately, brightness varies from image to image, making accurate comparisons of black levels somewhat challenging.

The issue came up: are there already BFS drivers for Linux or Windows that might serve as a model to those who intend to do the porting to Minix? I seem to remember that the Linux driver (e.g. on Zeven OS) is read-only. Is there also a fully functional (read-and-write, etc.) driver somewhere, for whatever system? Does anyone have some precise information about it? Also, apart from Dominic Giampaolo's pdf ebook, is there any other source of technical documentation available?

For business, I like height—a heel or a wedge or a platform so I feel a little bit stronger and more in my own power zone.
But in my home life, I don't want to feel that.
I want to feel grounded and equal and empathetic—and when I wear flats, that's what I feel.
And lately I've been hanging out with a younger guy, and it's reminding me to feel younger and take myself a little less seriously.
I bought these high-top Ash sneakers with a heel. Now, I'm a hip hop person all of a sudden, in hoodies and sneakers!

Rush Limbaugh said that the Nelson Mandela memorial Tuesday was "all about Barack Obama assuming the mantle of world leftist leadership."
Limbaugh made these comments on the heels of CNN's Christiane Amanpour saying that "President Obama couldn't be getting a better warm up act" after a performance by gospel singer Kirk Franklin at the memorial service for the former South African president and civil rights leader:
"Now we go back to Christiane Amanpour, some gospel singer was bringing down the house, the next thing that happened here at the memorial. And while the gospel singer was bringing down the house, Christiane Amanpour comes back to describe the moment when Obama shook Raul Castro's hand as "joy." And described the whole service as just a warm-up act for Obama. Listen:
[Audio clip] "'President Obama couldn't be getting a better warm-up act. Look at this. The whole crowd. Wonderful. Just a sense that we're in a middle of a pop concert, having a party. But it's a funeral, it's a memorial service. This truly what today is about. This moment really captured the joy.' [end of clip]
"You know, this is the funeral crashers is what this is. It is a party. These people are taking the occasion of Mandela's death. It's the Wellstone Memorial. They're taking the occasion of the death of Mandela, and they're using it and essentially discarding him to change and turn the focus all on to them.
"And if you doubt me, you heard it. First words out of Christiane Amanpour's mouth, 'And 'President Obama couldn't be getting a better warm up act.' We're talking about a memorial service for a great man, in these people's minds a great man who's just died and needs to be memorialized, and what is it? It's a warm-up act for Obama and Raul Castro. The unwitting dupe who's part of the warm-up act.
"It's the 'Wedding Crashers,' 'Funeral Crashers,' It's the Wellstone memorial all over again, but it's all about Barack Obama assuming the mantle of world leftist leadership. It is a second inauguration, if you will. Obama now the conscious of the world. The torch has been passed, whether Mandela knew it or not. The torch has been passed from Mandela to Obama. And the memorial service in the words of the great international correspondent Christiane Amanpour 'a warm-up act for Obama.'"

Justice and home affairs statistics systems in the Western Balkans
Project activities include extensive background research, research missions, detailed technical assessment reports and on-site training workshops to upgrade statistical systems. On the basis of the technical assessment, specific guidelines and recommendations for improving data collection systems for all participating countries, as well as the outlines of country-specific training plans have been developed and adopted by all national counterparts at the First Regional Workshop, held in May 2010 in Skopje.Since then, training workshops have been delivered separately on police statistics, prosecution and court statistics as well as migration statistics. Combined training workshops were held on coordination and international reporting issues. Participants have started working on the design of new data recording templates, proposals for new data to be recorded, the drafting of new counting rules and recording manuals, the development of new formats for publishing data and the start of the pilot-data collection exercise on a number of regional indicators.

Did Linkin Park Rat Out Sublime With Rome?
Backstage at shows, things happen, including bands smoking weed. Think what you want about it but it's part of the deal. Apparently though, that doesn't fly when Linkin Park is around.
Rome Ramirez of Sublime With Rome tweeted the following out after their appearance in Tuscon, Arizona, at the KFMA Day show this weekend.
Linkin Park called the cops on us and said that they were allergic to pot. cops came and took all our weed while we on stage. Bitch shit
— Rome (@RomeMusica) May 25, 2014
And this.
That just happened lol #snitches #bitchmove
— Rome (@RomeMusica) May 25, 2014
Then the third shot at Linkin Park.
Linkin nark
— Rome (@RomeMusica) May 25, 2014
Wow! Nobody from the Linkin Park camp has commented on the situation as of now, but if Rome hasn't removed the tweets yet, I doubt that this issue is going to just be let go.
UPDATE: Mike Shinoda denied via Twitter that Linkin Park had anything to do with the police coming out and taking Sublime with Rome's weed.
LP didn't "call the cops" on @RomeMusica smoking pot. Not sure where the rumor came from. Definitely not my style, bummer it happened.
— Mike Shinoda (@mikeshinoda) May 27, 2014
We were at a meet & greet when Sublime was on stage, not dressing room. Wouldn't even know if there was smoke. CC: @AltPress @RomeMusica
— Mike Shinoda (@mikeshinoda) May 27, 2014
If someone was "representing the band" to the cops in the venue about weed smoke, they were out of line.
— Mike Shinoda (@mikeshinoda) May 27, 2014
Hmmm... Two sides to every tale. I still feel like there's something missing in this story.
UPDATE: Chester is mad!
FYI.. I did not call the cops on Sublime. Rome should check his facts before running his mouth!!— Chester Bennington (@ChesterBe) May 27, 2014
UPDATE: Now Mike Shinoda is just screwing with Rome. Well played.
Me & the boys just left One Direction's dressing room. Feels like a pretty productive day. #LinkinNark pic.twitter.com/RCTTAzyK4v

The Pre-Raphaelite legacy / Elizabeth Prettejohn.
|Tim Barringer, Jason Rosenfeld, Alison Smith ; with contributions by Elizabeth Prettejohn and Diane Waggoner.
|More information:
"The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood shook the mid-19th-century art world. Effectively Britain's first modern art movement, the Brotherhood combined rebellion and revivalism, scientific precision, and imaginative grandeur. Today, the works of the Pre-Raphaelites are among the best known of all English paintings, and yet they have often been dismissed or misunderstood as Victoriana or escapism. This fascinating book convincingly corrects that view, examining works in a wide variety of media and demonstrating the broad scope of the movement's revolutionary ideas about art, design, and society. Led by Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Holman Hunt, and John Everett Millais, the Pre-Raphaelites' unflinchingly radical style, inspired by the purity of early Renaissance painting, defied convention, provoked critics, and entranced audiences. Many of their most famous paintings are featured, including Millais's Ophelia and Ford Madox Brown's The Last of England. This book also includes sculpture, photography, and the applied arts, the last of which shows the important role the Brotherhood played in the early development of the Arts and Crafts movement and the socialist ideas of the poet, designer, and theorist William Morris."--Publisher's website.

Africa is the second largest continent on the Earth; it is the magical land to several cultures including European, Arab, Asian, African, and different ethnic groups. This diversity is clearly reflected in the African cuisine. Each African province has its own distinct dishes, and preparation techniques using various African herbs. In Central Africa (stretching from the Tibesti mountains in the north to the vast rainforest basin of the Congo River), spicy groundnut stew is cooked along okra, chicken, scallions, ginger, and cayenne pepper and served with Fufu (fermented cassava roots) . Another popular delicacy is Bambara, porridge of rice, peanut butter, sugar, kosher salt, bay leaves, crushed red pepper, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, dried thyme leaves, cayenne pepper, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and garlic cloves. Around 100 years ago, Arabs settled in the coastal regions of East Africa. Arabic influences are distinctly seen in the Swahili cuisine. Rice is cooked in Persian style with different spices like cloves, saffron, cinnamon, and pomegranate juice. Several centuries later, the Portuguese, the Indians and the British had introduced different techniques of roasting, marinating, and use of aromatic herbs for preparing spicy curries, lentil soups, flat breads and variety of pickles. North Africa includes Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, and Egypt, lying along the Mediterranean Sea. Tunisian coucha or Moroccan tangia is an extremely popular, slow-cooked, spicy meat broth prepared with cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic, and ginger. The Ottoman Turks brought sweet pastries and other bakery products. The South African cuisine reflects the perfect blend of many cultures including European, indigenous African societies, and Asian. Southern Africans love to eat biltong (dried preserved meat) with traditional beer. Biltong is a type of cured meat prepared with black pepper, coriander, salt, sugar, balsamic or malt vinegar, nutmeg, dry ground chili, cayenne peppers, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, bicarbonate of soda, onion powder, and saltpetre. Potjiekos is another traditional stew made with meat, spices, herbs, & vegetables and cooked over coals in iron pots. Cloves, cinnamon, seeds of Guinea pepper (Aframomum melegueta), and mint are the key spices of West African cuisine.
Since, Africa is regarded as the "cradle of mankind", African medicine has been widely accepted as the oldest form of traditional medicine system known to humans. For centuries, traditional African healers have used age-old materia medica to treat illnesses, promote good health, and communicate with the healing spirits. Ancient indigenous healers possessed encyclopedic knowledge of medicinal barks, flowers, leaves, and roots which they passed down the generations by word of mouth. Over the centuries, a wide variety of these African herbs have been added in the Western pharmacopoeia and are now undergoing extensive clinical examinations for integration into mainstream medical systems.
Sweet Grass (Weengush) is a well-known sacred herb widely used by African people. During spiritual ceremonies, shamans burn these sweet smelling braids as incense for purification, cleansing, & healing of the body, mind and spirit. It is assumed that this African herb brings positive energies and eliminates negative forces. Sweetgrass is also made into medicinal tea.

#9: DuPont
Current Dividend Yield: 3.5%
Performance So Far in 2012: +9%
Next on this list of Dow dividend stocks, based on yield, is E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (NYSE:DD), a.k.a. DuPont.
DuPont investors know that while this chemicals stock isn't grabbing as many headlines as Silicon Valley tech shops, this sleepy giant is turning around and doing right by shareholders. DD stock lagged the market in 2011 with an 8% decline but has topped the market three times over in 2012.
Revenue is up year-over-year for 10 straight consecutive quarters after strong earnings in April, and DuPont's EPS have gone from $1.92 for fiscal 2009 to an impressive $3.68 in fiscal 2011 — almost double — and are forecast to jump another 15% in fiscal 2012.
Dividend investors in it for the long term know the staying power of DuPont. The company has paid dividends for more than 100 years and is a stable industrial giant that isn't going anywhere. At the end of April after DuPont's earnings, it added another 2 cents to its quarterly payday, too, proving this industrial company is not just preserving dividends — but improving them.

Opiate Addiction Treatment and Receiving Your Life Back
People who are suffering from drug or alcohol use, abuse, or dependency may not realize how dangerous a situation they are in. Individuals who use drugs or alcohol often cannot see the damage these substances can do. Drug and alcohol use, abuse, or dependency can cause negative effects in a person's family, social, or work life. The deterioration in these areas can be slow, further compounding the problem of denial. If an individual does recognize their problem, however, there is help available. Drug or alcohol counseling is now tailored to the specific substance involved. Persons who are dependent on it may find opiate addiction treatment very helpful. Opiate drug treatment focuses on the problems specific to the use, abuse, or dependency on this class of drugs. Because different substances have different effects and lead to different kinds of behavior, it is important to seek help that addresses the appropriate signs and symptoms. Different people may also have unique needs, and so it is equally important to find the kind of help that best suits the needs of the individual who is seeking to end his or her drug use, abuse, or dependency. Once the decision to end drug use, abuse, or dependency has been made, it is important to follow through on that decision by taking concrete and positive action. While the decision in itself is important, it may be hard to maintain the resolve to stop using or abusing drugs without outside support. It is at this point that opiate addiction treatment can be most helpful. This kind of help can provide the supportive atmosphere and professional assistance necessary to reaching the ultimate goal: real and lasting sobriety. Opiate addiction treatment has helped hundreds if not thousands of individuals change their lives from being defined by use, abuse, or dependency on drugs to lives that are more productive and fulfilling. Opiate addiction treatment, given in a controlled and carefully designed environment, and facilitated by professionally trained, empathetic staff, can help individuals make this change. There may be no greater gift than the gift of sobriety; seeking help for drug use or abuse can put it within reach.

Miroslava Odalovic
They called me to be an extra
They did not know I had a camera in my soul
For some all the worlds a stage
For some the whole stage is just the world
Wonder if the great one knew this
When he shook his spears
I was in between
Neither the real actor nor the real lifer
Perhaps this was each interpretation gave up
The stage I was standing on
I could not grasp the text even though I got it in time
Perhaps it was quite enough for a stage
Certainly not for a life
Act 1 and its main character
He had a face unto which
An invisible hand of law left the visible scars
A quite sufficient number of them for a drama
He had those eyes hesitating between comedy and tragedy
There was laughter in one eye and tears in another
He laughed the way the dramaturge ordered him to do
But he cried quite independently
He had those arms destroyed by uncreation
He never knew the text as he had no camera in his soul
Great words of great minds so frequently he stammered
Little did he understand even less did he rehearse
He was a great actor but on this stage
Under the spotlight all he did was stand frozen
Act 2 The Prompter
He was in collusion with the sky
The Hermes of a contemporary theatre
He flattered all the laws of life
He knew exactly how low to go down into his box
So as to avoid the knocks from the stage
He knew exactly what and when
To whisper the texts into whose ears
He had known the text by heart
Even before it was written
Great words of great minds he recited out of his underground darkness
And he always knew the right moment
Because he knew everything about time
He never acted but he was a real lifer
He made more than art out of whispering
And put enormous effort into his role
Up to the point of having vocal cords damaged
Act 3 Dramaturge
His life role was creating illusion dramat urgent
He lived by apparitions and apparently lived
He was a little god of his own creations
He walked the planks his spirit split
He borrowed life to text without a single doubt
In any single moment
That stage is just an attempt of life
He knew how to make other not to doubt that
And that was all his power
With the sword of an illusion he cut the greatest actors
Even the greatest lifers feared him
He never doubted that he was just a slave of an endless creating
Whose purpose cannot be seen due to doubt
A drunken night officer set fire to this theatre
Burning down deus ex machina as well

The Fed: Invasion of the Inflation DovesBy
Picture the horror-movie scene in which the terrified family barricades the door to keep the murderer out, only to discover he's already inside. Federal Reserve Governor Kevin M. Warsh evoked that scary image in a speech on Mar. 26 to describe the threat to inflation-fighting central bankers from economists who are, in his view, insufficiently hawkish on inflation. Said Warsh: "Not all of the threats to central bank independence come from outside the walls of the Federal Reserve. Some pressures, however well-intentioned, like in the clichéd scary movie, may come from inside the house."
Emotions must be running high when bland central bankers start casting disagreements over interest-rate policy in terms that are more familiar to fans of Freddy Krueger. The charged language may be further evidence of a growing divide between hawks and doves over how strenuously the Federal Reserve should fight inflation. This isn't a drawing-room debate. The outlook for growth and inflation depends on how quickly the Fed rolls back the emergency monetary easing it put in place to combat the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
Until now, the rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee has been remarkably unified under Chairman Ben Bernanke. Even the committee's inflation-phobic hawks have mostly gone along with lowering the federal funds target rate to a basement-floor zero to 0.25% and flooding the banking system with excess reserves to encourage lending.
But the hawks' grumbling is getting louder. Thomas M. Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, broke ranks at meetings in January and March, dissenting from the FOMC's determination to keep the federal funds rate at "exceptionally low levels" for "an extended period." Hoenig loses his FOMC vote next year, but two other hawkish regional bank presidents are scheduled to become voting members of the FOMC: Richard W. Fisher of Dallas and Charles I. Plosser of Philadelphia.
Monetary hawks argue that over the long run, very low and predictable inflation is the best condition for growth. In his Mar. 26 speech, Warsh attacked an idea that particularly frightens the hawks: a proposal that central banks should try to make inflation rise a bit to a long-term average of around 4%. (Inflation in personal consumption expenses, excluding food and energy, is all of 1.3% over the past year.) The 4% idea was raised on Feb. 12 in a widely noted paper by Olivier Blanchard, research director of the International Monetary Fund. Blanchard suggested that higher average inflation would make it easier for central banks to stimulate growth in a recession by cutting interest rates. The idea is that cutting borrowing costs to below the inflation rate encourages expansion by effectively paying people to take out loans. Thus, cutting interest rates to zero can be more stimulative when inflation is 4% than when it's just 2%. That's a dangerous idea, Warsh said. "Central banks that desire just a little more inflation may well end up with a lot more."
Here's where the horror-movie plot thickens. Blanchard, as a pillar of the economics Establishment, may well have been the threat "from inside the house" to whom Warsh was referring. Then again, Warsh may have meant a true Fed insider, John C. Williams, research director of the San Francisco Fed, who wrote a paper similar to Blanchard's last September. But Williams isn't quite the foe hawks might imagine. In an interview on Mar. 29, he said he understands Warsh's misgivings. He added that while there are theoretical advantages to a 4% inflation target, the risks of confusing the market by moving to a higher target now might be unacceptably great.
Confused yet? Don't worry. The main plot line is still hawks vs. doves. And as the U.S. economy recovers haltingly, that fight isn't going away.

Fall commencement exercises at Francis Marion University are scheduled at 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, at Smith University Center gymnasium. A crowd of more than 3,500 is expected to witness the awarding of more than 250 undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Honorary doctoral degrees will be presented to attorney Eugene (Nick) Zeigler Jr. and retired educators Marvin W. Lynch and Joseph E. Heyward, all of Florence. Zeigler will be the commencement speaker.
Also, Dollie Newhouse, director of FMU's Career Development Center, says that there has been a high demand in the Pee Dee in recent years for new graduates in the information technology field, as well as grads who wish to pursue careers in healthcare and education. Graduates with business degrees are also in demand, especially those who are proficient in accounting.
Regardless of their area of study, new graduates can expect employers to look for evidence of strong writing and speaking skills, familiarity with computers, and the ability to produce quality work independently and in collaboration with colleagues. These skills repeatedly are mentioned by employers as essential ingredients in a young professional's transition from the campus to the work environment.


text: Hi all I just got back a roll of Neopan SS from Ilford processing and for the first time since I've had it, my G2 produced a load of bizarre, completely out of focus shots. The first few on the roll I shot with the 45mm Planar and are perfect - they look just as I hoped. Then I switched to the 21mm Biogon and all the frames after that are entirely devoid of focus of any kind - just abstract blobs. Now I mounted the lens fast and on the hop so maybe I did not couple it on the AF mount properly? I've remounted it since then to be sure. Looking at it now (the Biogon is still mounted) when I focus it the lens moves nicely and the distances in the VF are as they should be. I'm about to go on holiday to Turkey and wanted to bring along my favourite camera, but don't want to come back with a load of blobby disappointments! Short of shooting a test roll, is there any way to tell if its working right? I'm so hoping its 'human error' on my part and not a broken camera. J

text: Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), the global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal-processing and signal-conditioning applications, has joined the Industry Affiliate Program of the Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) of the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), to infuse innovation, provide industry insights, and accelerate commercialization of active research in MEMS (Micromachines) and Nano-Sciences in India. Analog Devices has been a pioneer with many "industry firsts" in its five decades of innovation, starting from the first ever use of laser-trim systems to tweak IC performance, to pioneering the use of inertial MEMS in automotive airbags. In just the last few years, Analog Devices has launched the industry's first octal ultrasound receiver; lowest power and smallest size heart-rate monitor chip; industry's lowest power MEMS accelerometer and a lowest-noise MEMS microphone. Analog Devices India was started in 1995 and its product development center in Bangalore is involved in some of the most challenging designs including complex Application-Specific Standard Products (ASSPs), high performance DSPs, Analog/Mixed Signal ICs, signal processing ASICs for inertial MEMS, and embedded software that power these semiconductor chips. The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) was established in 2010 to pursue interdisciplinary research across several disciplines with a focus on nano-scale systems. Current research topics include nano-electronics, MEMS/NEMS, nano-materials and devices, photonics, nano-biotechnology, solar cells and computational nano-engineering. With its National Nano-fabrication Facility spanning 14, 000 sq. ft., CeNSE is well equipped to undertake research projects aimed at solving real life problems in collaboration with the industry. As a part of the affiliate program, ADI will work with CeNSE to bridge the gap between industry and research by initiating a close technical association and identifying core areas for long term collaboration in co-development of technologies and products of mutual interest. The program is designed to ensure a deeper engagement through joint research projects and unique student support programs involving the company, faculty and student community at CeNSE.
