Energy Technology and Policy
What are energy leaders saying about ETP?
"This is an excellent program. It is extremely important that our future leaders understand technology and that our future engineers understand the policy implications of new technologies and how to integrate them into society. This program links energy technology and policy, and has a flexible curriculum. Graduates will have great potential for a successful career as energy leaders."
Robert B. Catell, Chairman, Advanced Energy Center; Former Chairman, U.S. National Grid; and Former
Chairman and CEO, KeySpan Corp.
"The multi-disciplinary structure and system approach of the new course of study will provide a more informed understanding of the complexity of Energy, a central determinant of economic development, environment and climate change. This new and timely course would improve the knowledge base for problem solving"
Nay Htun, Ph.D, Research Professor, Department of Technology and Society, Stony Brook University; Fellow & Visiting Professor, Imperial College London, UK; Former UN Assistant-Secretary General, United Nations
Development Programme, and United Nations Environment Programme.
"[The TSM] program really broadened my view on how technology interacts with society and how we can take a more systemic approach to assess and manage the benefits and risks that technology brings to society. The friendly academic environment made it very easy for me to go through two important transitions, from Chinese culture to American culture, and from a technical discipline (mechanical engineering) to a more interdisciplinary and exciting field (technological systems management)."
Lan Xue (TSM'86), Ph.D., Professor and Dean, School of Public Policy and Management, Tsinghua University, China.

Complete Women's Soccer Release in pdf format
PRINCETON, N.J. -- The 2012 Ivy League women's
soccer season kicked off on Friday, Aug. 31, and over the course of
three days the Ancient Eight combined to go 7-4-1 against quality
Brown, Harvard and Penn remain undefeated after week one, as the Bears and the Quakers have matching 2-0-0 records and Harvard is 1-0-0. Brown has yet to give up a goal on this young season thanks to a pair of shutouts, 3-0 at BIG EAST foe St. John's and 1-0 over New Hampshire. Penn won a pair of home games, defeating James Madison (2-1) and Temple (2-0). Harvard's season-opening victory came at the expense of Massachusetts (2-0).
Dartmouth (1-1-0) took part in the Central Florida Tournament in Orlando, Fla., falling to No. 9 UCF, 2-0, before bouncing back to beat South Florida, 2-1. Yale is also 1-1-0 after opening its season with a 2-1 road win over Hartford before falling at Stony Brook by the same score. In the Princeton Invitational, the Tigers took No. 15 Wake Forest to the wire, eventually falling, 2-1, and then tied Colgate in an offensive onslaught, 4-4.
Princeton senior Jen Hoy (Sellersville, Pa.) tallied four goals on the week, including one against No. 15 Wake Forest and three scores in the Tigers' 4-4 tie with Colgate. Hoy notched her second career hat trick in the tie with Colgate. She also accomplished the feat against James Madison on Sept. 12, 2010.
Hoy took home her second Player of the Week award after also earning the honor on Sept. 12, 2011.
Hoy's Weekly Stats
2 GP-2GS, 4 G, 8 Pts., 7 Shots, 5 SOG
Yale freshman Paula Hagopian (West Hartford, Conn.) contributed in both of her team's games, tallying three points on a goal and an assist on the week. Her first career assist came at a crucial moment for the Bulldogs, who were tied with Hartford, 1-1, with 26 seconds remaining, when Hagopian found senior Kristen Forster for the gamewinner. In Yale's next game, Hagopian scored her first career goal off an assist from the 2011 Rookie of the Year, sophomore Melissa Gavin.
Hagopian becomes the fourth Bulldog to earn Rookie of the Week in the past two seasons, joining sophomores Meredith Speck (Sept. 5), Gavin (Oct. 10, Oct. 31) and Elise Wilcox (Oct. 17).

Wildlife officials in Maine chose to not intervene when parent eagles abandoned their young in a coastal Maine nest over the weekend.
Viewers of the Biodiversity Research Institute's webcam called and emailed asking officials to intervene after it appeared that the eagles had abandoned the pair of baby bald eagles.
Over the weekend, one of the pair of eaglets died.
Apparently it's common for eagles in the wild to die before reaching maturity and Erynn Call, state raptor specialist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, said it's state policy not to intervene.
"These are wildlife. They're not pets. They're generally better off in their natural surroundings," said Patrick Keenan, outreach director at the institute.
Yesterday the webcam showed the surviving baby eaglet getting a meal from an adult eagle. The eaglet squawked loudly as it ate the shredded bird pieces that the adult eagle provided.

After practicing for almost a decade at well-respected Dallas law firms, Andrew J. Anderson decided to form Anderson Legal Group, P.C. The focus of the new firm was to assist clients in family law related matters (such as divorce, custody, adoptions, premarital agreements, wills and child support issues) and/or criminal defense matters. These particular cases are extremely stressful for the client and often plague clients until they are resolved. Mr. Anderson explains all options available to the clients, which empowers them to make good decisions during these difficult times.
Mr. Anderson supplemented his legal education with an extensive hearing and trial practice. Specifically, he has tried numerous cases before the Judges of Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, and Collin county courts. Further, Mr. Anderson often writes and presents seminars to teach other attorneys through the Texas Bar Association's Continuing Legal Education programs. Mr. Anderson is also Board Certified in Family Law which is the highest award for specialized competence issued by the State Bar of Texas and has been recognized as a Super Lawyer since 2011.
Mr. Anderson represents clients by listening to their goals, and then creating a specifically tailored plan for achieving their goals as quickly as possible. He firmly believes that clients must be thoroughly informed, and then he strives to develop and present all possible options. When an attorney offers all possible options, along with the potential outcomes, it allows the client to make informed decisions about their case. Due to Mr. Anderson's extensive courtroom experience, clients are confident that if their case cannot be resolved before trial, that Mr. Anderson will work to receive all possible relief from the Judge.
The majority of Mr. Anderson's caseload involves complex divorce matters with substantial assets. Typically, these cases deal with businesses, Family Limited Partnerships, Sports Contracts, or complex benefits for officers of large corporations. Mr. Anderson structures the property transactions to obtain the best possible results for his clients. Often these complex divorce matters also have emotionally charged custody litigation. Mr. Anderson is able to objectively craft a plan to obtain as much time with the children as the client desires.
Mr. Anderson also represents clients in criminal matters. While typically these cases stem from divorce and family law litigation, this is not always the case. Specifically, Mr. Anderson deals with Federal and State authorities mainly dealing with charges regarding: drug possession, pornography, abduction, alcohol, sex offenses, assault and weapons charges.
Mr. Anderson is respected by Texas attorneys and judges. To evidence this, Mr. Anderson has received the highest peer review rating as established by Martindale-Hubble (for both ethics and legal competence).

Fantasy Baseball Two-Start Pitchers – Week 9
Quality starting pitching is essential to winning in fantasy baseball. If you have a pitcher that hasn't been carrying their weight, consider adding a starting pitcher who will make two starts in week eight.
If the pitcher you consider isn't at the top of the rankings, there's often a chance he'll throw at least one good game out of the two he is probable to start. Worst case, a pitcher with two starts will generally keep a lower ERA and bring in more strikeouts, which could save owners in weekly head-to-head matchups.
Brandon Webb of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who is 9-1 with a 2.69 ERA, 56 strikeouts, and a 0.98 WHIP in 70 innings, tops our list of two-start fantasy baseball pitchers in week nine. Other "must starts" include:
- Ben Sheets, Milwaukee Brewers
- Johan Santana, New York Mets
- Dan Haren, Arizona Diamondbacks
- Javier Vazquez, Chicago White Sox (FBD Week 2 Pitcher of the Week)
- Scott Kazmir, Tampa Bay Rays
- Felix Hernandez, Seattle Mariners
- A.J. Burnett, Toronto Blue Jays
- Tim Linecum, San Francisco Giants
- Tim Hudson, Atlanta Braves
- Shawn Marcum, Toronto Blue Jays
The Sunday Special – Two two-start pitchers that should impress you with their performances in week nine:
- Darrell Rasner, New York Yankees. How come so few people are talking about Rasner? Is it possible that the Yankees hype machine is actually running low key on Rasner after the sad starts of Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy? Rasner is 3-0 with a 1.89 ERA, 11 strikeouts, and a 0.84 WHIP in 19 innings of work. His highlight reel start came this past Thursday against Baltimore – 7 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, 6 strikeouts, NO RUNS! His first start of the week comes Monday on the road at Baltimore against Garrett Olson… his second start is scheduled for Sunday, 6/1, against Nick Blackburn at the Metrodome against the Twins.
- Andy Sonnanstine, Tampa Bay Rays. Sonnanstine has seen the benefit of serious run support from the Rays. Despite his 5.09 ERA, Sonnanstine is 6-2 with 32 strikeouts and 1.32 WHIP in 63.7 innings. In only four of his starts has he given up less than four runs. So, despite his record, why on earth are recommending Sonnanstine? Matchups. His first start comes Tuesday at home against the Texas Rangers and Vicente Padilla. Start no. 2 for Sonny comes against the Chicago White Sox on Sunday 6/1 versus Mark Buehrle. Sonnanstine pitched a three-hit, four strikeout, complete game shutout versus Buehrle and the White Sox on April 19.
Waiver Wire Wonder – A two-start pitcher owned in less than 40% of leagues to consider in week nine:
- Nick Blackburn, Minnesota Twins. Blackburn has won four of his last seven starts dating back to April 19, and has only given up four or more earned runs in three starts this year. Two of those starts came on the road, but none of them were against the Kansas City Royals. Nick's first start of the week is Tuesday at KC against Brian Bannister. His second start comes against Rasner and the Yankees in the Bronx on Sunday, and he has never faced the Yankees before either. With the Twins' penchant for developing young pitching, Blackburn is worth a chance replacement after the recent trip to the DL of Fausto Carmona. On the year, Blackburn is 4-3 with a 3.55 ERA, 34 strikeouts, and a 1.41 WHIP in 63.3 innings of work.

Country Club Services Selects CHARGED.fm to Manage Online Ticketing for Official Off-site Parking Lot at MetLife Stadium
Sep 05, 2012, 18:25 ET from CHARGED.fm
NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- CHARGED.fm, a leading social commerce platform that allows anyone to discover, share, create, and sell tickets for events, today announced that it has been selected by Country Club Services to provide an online ticketing solution for off-site parking at Jets and Giants games at the Meadowlands Sports Complex located at 20 Murray Hill Parkway in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Meadowlandsparking.com accommodates fans without pre-paid parking passes to all Jets and Giants home games at MetLife Stadium. CHARGED.fm enables fans to instantly purchase parking passes by printing at home or they can opt for a paperless option which requires scanning an encoded email on their smart phone upon arriving at the parking facility.
As the official off-site lot parking for MetLife Stadium, located a half-mile from the stadium, Country Club Services' lot holds 1500 vehicles. Shuttle buses run continuously 4 hours prior to the game and one and a half hours after the game to deliver fans to and from the lot to the Pepsi Gate at MetLife Stadium. Tailgating is permitted in all off-site parking lots and grilling is allowed in one designated lot at 20 Murray Hill Pkwy. The flat rate fee for parking a vehicle is $35, a savings of at least $15 compared to fees at other parking facilities.
"We are excited to help fans enjoy a seamless experience at Jets and Giants home games with worry-free parking by using our online ticketing solution," said Yves Darbouze, CEO, CHARGED.fm. "Since obtaining parking passes using CHARGED.fm's technology is simple, fast and convenient, the game will be the main focus among fans," added Darbouze.
"CHARGED.fm allows us to better service fans by offering affordably priced parking passes that are easy to buy ahead of time and can even be purchased on the way to the game on Meadowlandsparking.com," said Joe Hughes, President of Country Club Services. "The New York Giants football season kicks off on September 5th when they take on the Dallas Cowboys. Every football fan knows that a parking spot is almost as important as having a ticket to the game," added Hughes.

Project Title
Childhood Cancer Survivor Pilot to Empower Action in Care (SPEAC)
Lisa Sharp, Ph.D.
Project Description
SPEAC is an NCI-funded study to develop and pilot test an education and communication intervention targeting adult childhood cancer survivors. This project is unique in it's patient-oriented design beginning with focus groups to identify survivors' education needs regarding their longterm health. These data will be integrated into a draft of an intervention. Modifications will be conducted based upon the data collected in the pilot run. Subsequent pilot tests will be carried out on the modified intervention with data collection pre-, post-, and at 6 month following the 4 session intervention. Survivors will learn about the "late effects" of treatment for childhood cancer, how to access their medical records, and how to communicate more effectively with their healthcare provider. Psychology interns who join SPEAC have the opportunity to learn about qualitative data techniques, focus groups, intervention development, and doctor-patient communication.

The year 2010 proved fruitful for the markets. However, 2011 is uncertain. How investors choose to position their portfolios this coming year could have a significant impact on their future.
Today, the market is looking for direction. With high unemployment, poor credit facilities, a questionable healthcare system, and various other issues, investors must plan for growth and stability in the year to come.
We are still in a range-bound market. Returns increase in spots when good news presents itself, but then they drop to a common low when another country reveals its financial issues. This has gone on for several months, with no end in sight.
There are three rules that could prove instrumental in the quest for positives returns. First, add more diversification. Most people ask how "the market" is doing. A good follow up question would be: what market? There are numerous markets to invest in, but the average investor does not utilize even a fraction of them. Invest in the stock markets of the world--diversify, diversify, diversify.
Build a better portfolio by including large-cap, mid-cap, and small-cap growth and value stocks. Next, add government, corporate, and high-yield bonds and limit their maturities as interest rates rise. Sounds pretty basic so far, but here is the kicker: For your international positions, think more globally. Utilize currencies, commodities, global real estate, and global bonds. This is where you find real diversification. Each of these investments is available through mutual funds or exchange-traded funds at the retail level, so anyone can invest in them.
Second, add investments that automatically reduce risk. Finally, add managed futures into the mix. Managed futures are an asset class that allows a manager to invest long and sell short in vehicles like commodities, currencies, or even oil. These volatile assets are used every day in every country and are traded in very liquid markets. The beauty of using this type of investment is that it has the tendency to provide an average return in good years, but blow the cover off the ball in poor years. Think about what rebalancing is doing. If an asset class is over-weighted in your portfolio, sell some of it and put those proceeds into the one that is under-weighted. Essentially, when you rebalance, you are buying low and selling high. Isn't that what we were always told to do?

This taco devouring, beer swilling, cohesive group of guys n' gals rose from the ashes of their 4th place regular season finish, to find themselves in the City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks Adult Softball League Championship game this past week.
Every Wednesday night for the past few years, this bunch has been coming to Don Antonio's Mexican restaurant in west Los Angeles for the wildly popular "Dollar Taco Night.". The group of friends found they had a common interest in baseball, and decided to put a softball team together and call themselves Dollar Taco Night in honor of their beloved weekly ritual. Two of the stars on the squad happened to be employed by the Original Retro Brand, and approached the "powers that be" looking for sponsorship. The powers that be obliged, and Don Antonio's had a team with the best looking, coolest shirts in the league. Not only did they have the coolest shirts, they also had priority seating at the standing room only restaurant (1-2 hour wait).
Not many around the league gave Dollar Taco Night much of a chance to go far in the playoffs due to their laid back, "let's just go out there and have some fun" attitudes. After all, many nights the team had went to Don Antonio's BEFORE their games. The #1 seeded regular season champion Flying Sheep were one of the teams that fell into this underestimation trap, and found themselves ousted by the merry Mexican restaurant regulars in the playoff round-robin. Remember those Original Retro Brand employees I mentioned? Well Lora Stanley and Cassidy Moore made the ORB brass proud by scattering 4 hits a piece in the victory. Woo-Hoo!
The gang had there hands full in the title game however, going up against the super serious curmudgeons of team Bud Light. They couldn't beat the no-fun bunch, but that didn't stop the team from heading to Don Antonio's post-game to proudly present the owner with a well deserved shiny gold 2nd place trophy. As they say in Mexico, "selicidadeas a nustros campiones" (congratulations to our champions!)

When Courtney and Tony Mickelson welcomed their child, Christopher, into the world in February 2012, their lives were forever changed. They wouldn't know just how drastically until shortly after he turned 1.
"He started having symptoms a week after his first birthday," Tony Mickelson said. "It took them a month of digging to find out what it was."
The couple knew something was seriously wrong when their child began displaying alarming behavior.
"His eyes would roll up into his head and then he started twitching like he had Parkinson's," Tony Mickelson said. "He was losing his coordination and balance."
At first, doctors thought the strange behavior was attributed to an ear infection. When it was clear that wasn't the case, they thought it was perhaps the tonsillitis.
"But it just kept getting worse. He started crawling slower and slower," Tony Mickelson said. "You'd set him down and his eyes would roll right to the back of his head. He went limp and he couldn't feed himself."
"I lost him that weekend," Courtney Mickelson said.
Finally, doctors at the Amplatz Children's Hospital ordered an MRI, an ENT, a CAT scan and several other tests to find the root of the problem. The tests revealed that little Christopher had a cancer on his kidney called neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid cancer in childhood and the most common cancer in infancy.
"Me and Tony looked at each other and said, 'Cancer? He can't have cancer,'" Courtney Mickelson said. "They were testing for everything. Everything was coming back negative, negative, negative. When they diagnosed cancer, we were kind of relieved because they said they could get rid of it."
The cancer was removed just three days after the Mickelsons were told their child was seriously ill. Without having to undergo a single chemotherapy treatment, Christopher was declared cancer-free.
"I'm glad it happened so fast, because you don't even have time to think about it," Courtney Mickelson said.
What happened next wasn't so common. Although the cancer is fairly common and reasonably simple to treat, Christopher developed a rare neurological disorder called opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome that developed due to the tumor on his kidney. While Christopher continues to receive regular tests to ensure he remains cancer-free, he is still struggling to recover from the syndrome, sometimes called "dancing eyes."
"So now we're just dealing with this OMS," Courtney Mickelson said.
Christopher undergoes IVIG injections into a small, plastic tube that was inserted in his chest near his clavicle, or collarbone, that connects to his jugular two days a month. He also receives the drug Rituxan to keep the cancer at bay monthly. A physical, occupational and speech therapist works with Christopher twice a week to help him regain his balance and mobility.
His parents said Christopher is doing much better now than he was in the beginning, but his head still shakes, he struggles to grasp his toy bus and fire truck, and his big, brown eyes still dart from side to side from time to time.
"The wobbling, the falling over – all that I can handle," Courtney Mickelson said. "But it's the eye rolling that is really scary."
The Mickelsons met with another Minnesota family dealing with the OMS diagnosis in their son, Jonathan Tell, June 23. Considering the syndrome occurs in less than 1 in 10 million cases per year, the chances of meeting another family going through the treatments in the same state are slim.
"We're on such different treatment plans, but everything is so much the same," Courtney Mickelson said. "It's interesting to compare stories."
Courtney Mickelson said her oldest son, Bradley Hatch, 18, has been a wonderful big brother throughout the past several months.
"This guy's been amazing," she said. "He does anything he can that he can. He had a hard time seeing his little brother at the hospital."
Hatch said the most difficult aspect was wanting to help but feeling powerless.
"It was shocking," Hatch said. "And there was nothing I could do. It was tough watching it."
Moving forward, Christopher has at the minimum another six months of treatment. In the long term, he may experience limited physical mobility, lasting twitches and he also runs the risk of having developmental delays and learning disabilities, such as ADHD.
"It may take him a little longer to learn stuff," Courtney Mickelson said. "When you move, you don't have to think about it. When he moves, he has to concentrate on everything. We had to reteach him how to take a bottle."
The Mickelsons are pleased with the progress he's made so far, and are hopeful that Christopher will continue to improve.
"What's getting us excited is his eye movement," she said. "His eyes have been so much better in the last week."
Although the family carries decent medical coverage, at $10,000 a dose for the cancer medication and $5,000 a dose for the injections, even the best plans require substantial out-of-pocket expenses. The Mickelsons are organizing a benefit for Christoper Sept. 21 at the Foreston Fire Hall to help offset the costs of his treatment. Watch the Times for further updates.
Through it all, the family said Christopher has been a trooper.
"He doesn't even cry anymore when he falls," Tony Mickelson said. "He just smiles."
"He's scared. He throws temper tantrums because he's frustrated," Courtney Mickelson added. "But he's the strong one."

Silver Costume Jewelry
In vintage fine jewelry, precious metals such as platinum, gold, and silver were routinely used as armatures and frames for gemstones like diamonds, rubies, and emeralds. But in vintage costume jewelry, the base material that held the glittering rhinestones and sparkling pieces of paste in place was called white or pot metal, an inexpensive, kitchen-sink alloy of mostly tin and lead.
World War II changed all that, forcing costume-jewelry designers such as Trifari, Coro, and Haskell to anchor their baubles to silver, which was less valuable to the war effort than tin or lead. Unfortunately, it was also more expensive to work with. Prices for Trifari products tripled, in part because the company's dies, and even its tools, had been melted down for the war. Starting in some cases entirely from scratch, some of its jewelry had to be made using traditional lost-wax-casting techniques, which added to the precious metal's already high cost.
Little wonder, then, that after the war, manufacturers were anxious to return to base metals that were less costly. Unfortunately, costume-jewelry customers had gotten used to silver. To hype the return to a cheaper base metal, Trifari began advertising a "revolutionary" new metal called Trifanium, which was a made-up name for their new non-silver metal with a no-polish rhodium finish.
Vermeil is another page in the World War II costume-jewelry silver story. Though plated with gold, the core of vermeil was actually sterling silver. Pieces made during the 1940s, particularly those by Coro, are especially collectible.

" Moevenpick Hotel & Casino Geneva / 20, route de Pre Bois / PO BOX 556 / 1215 Geneva / Switzerland / Phone: +41 22 717 11 11 / Fax: +41 22 717 11 22 "
My end of course exam loomed earlier this month and the news that it would take place in Geneva presented me with the appealing prospect of combining the dreaded exam with a much more pleasant trip to visit my parents in the UK. So the search was on for a hotel close to the airport so we could make the earliest flight possible the morning after the exam. A quick scan of the Travelocity website showed that we could get one night in the five star Movenpick for just £80, which seemed like a bargain. So the room was booked and I dedicated myself to cramming my head with facts and suitcases with clothes.
The hotel is located ten minutes from Geneva airport and close to the main motorway. It is on a rather unprepossessing estate with conference centres and other hotels and doesnt look very impressive from the outside, looking rather like an office block a pink office block! If you are arriving by car there is parking available in the underground car park for a 20CHF flat fee (you need to get a piece of paper from the receptionist to put on the dashboard); the parking spaces for the hotel are clearly marked and are next to the lift to the lobby. If you are arriving by plane the hotel runs a free shuttle minibus to the airport every 20 minutes from 5.30am to 11.30pm. This is excellent if you are staying in the hotel as you can pick up the bus everyday to the airport and get the train from the airport station to the centre of Geneva (about 15 minutes). All Geneva transport is including in your room fee, reception give you a white card which allows you travel on the buses, trains and trams for the duration of your stay which saved us about 30CHF just for the one day we were in Geneva. This all makes the £80 seem much better value for money, especially when you also consider that your room key gives you unlimited access to the gym/spa next door to the hotel (literally next door). Sadly we didnt get to check this out as we had an early start in the morning but I have been told that it is a modern and well-equipped facility and a nice additional bonus! In addition to the 18 meeting rooms and casino the hotel also has five places to eat/drink including a Japanese restaurant.
***What they say about themselves***
Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is an international Swiss premium hotel chain active in the 4- and 5-star resort hotel and business/airport hotel markets. With 80 hotels existing or under construction represented in 23 countries, it serves over 5 million guests per year. Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts employs more than 12'000 employees with a geographic focus on Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The Mövenpick philosophy is a distinct departure from the traditional hotel chain approach. Sincere and heartfelt hospitality, uncompromisingly high product and service quality as well as excellent levels of staff training and team motivation crowned with that special Swiss touch make the difference.
***Our Experience***
I was incredibly excited to be staying in a five star hotel but was initially disappointed when we pulled into the underground carpark which is very bland, narrow and shared by all the other buildings on the same site as the hotel. The hotel itself has about 30 dedicated parking spaces for guests but it wasnt the best first impression to make on visitors trying to find them in the concrete maze. The lift took us up to the lobby which strikes a good balance between modern and friendly and we walked over to one of the three reception desks. We werent particularly well dressed (comfort for the exam being the main thing in my head!) and had a grumbling toddler in tow, but no-one made us feel like we were out of place. The lady on reception immediately handed our daughter some small free toys and puzzles to keep her occupied while we checked in and got our free travel passes and room key. She then explained all the facilities of the hotel such as the internet access (in the room and lobby) at 7CHF for an hour and 20 CHF for 24 hours, the location of the spa and the times of the shuttle bus. I dont honestly think she could have been more friendly or helpful and we genuinely felt welcomed into the hotel.
Our room was on one of the 10 non-smoking floors and we headed over to the four clean and spacious lifts, but sadly when we stepped out we were greeted by less impressive décor and a carpet that had a definite Travelodge feel to it. Our room was a Superior with two queen sized beds and was an extremely odd shape with a narrow corridor with a 90 degree turn to negotiate before you got to the sleeping area. We could see from the scuffs/snags on the wallpaper that previous guests had had difficulties getting their cases round this corner into the main part of the room and there were a couple of small makeup stains on the corridor carpet which hadnt been cleaned off. Travelling with a child meant we were quite glad of this corridor because it meant we could sit out of our daughters sight while she got to sleep and from a glance in other rooms it seems the others were a more conventional design, but if you have big pieces of luggage its probably best not to accept room 535! Sitting on the floor in the corridor we also noticed more scuff damage to the walls, a cheap looking skirting board with missing pieces and unravelled carpet at the bathroom door (and the aforementioned makeup stains). The floor was very lumpy with strange bumps in inconvenient places, making it very uncomfortable to walk on/sit on. I found this odd as the hotel was only built in 2005, I wouldnt have expected it from such a new hotel.
The bathroom was off the corridor and what can I say it was compact! Everything was there but I had to really squeeze into a corner to close the door. The tiling round the bath was looking a bit tired and the shower screen was a little dirty but everything else was clean if a little drab. The towels however were thick, absorbent and large and the free toiletries didnt strip all my skin off when I used them! Not for larger ladies and gentlemen though as I have never seen such a tiny bathroom!
The room itself was relatively roomy with a built in desk which housed the minibar and safe in cupboards underneath. There was plenty of hanging space and a small table with chairs but if you have large pieces of luggage its hard to see where you would put them without tripping over them with four people in the room as well. The information folder and room service menu were both quite damaged which I found disappointing and I only gave them a cursory flick through. Between the beds were two bendy reading lights which unfortunately only wanted to stay balanced about two inches above my nose when I lay down. I ended up having to bend them around each other, something which I assume other guests also had to do as they seemed very accustomed to their position! The bed linen was scrupulously clean but unfortunately of the sswoooooshy and rustly type so I didnt sleep well as I could hear every movement my husband and daughter made as they slept. The pillows are something of a national tradition, flat! I have never experienced anything like Swiss pillows before they look extremely inviting but collapse to about a centimetre high once you put your head on them. Worth a warning to future travellers!
The hotel has two main restaurants; the Kenome and the Latitude. The former is a Japanese restaurant which offers sushi and teppen-yaki but we went to the Swiss Latitude which is on the main floor opposite the reception desks. It looks very smart (although we were later able to recognise much of the furniture as being from a popular store here called Pfister!) and we were scruffily dressed with a toddler but we were welcomed and made very comfortable. The waiter brought a smaller glass, plate and cutlery for our daughter without us having to ask and menus, drinks and a delicious onion pickle with toasted bread were immediately forthcoming. We settled for one of the seasonal Swiss menus which offered a mouthwatering array of choices from around Switzerland and used local produce. After munching our way through an amazing green salad with warm goats cheese our daughter started to grumble and the second courses were brought out within minutes but we never felt pressurised to eat faster, the emphasis was on good food (and LOTS of it!). There was so much good food I couldnt finish my cheese plate of 6 Swiss/French cheeses despite having been ravenous when entering the restaurant. The waiters were attentive without being intrusive, incredibly friendly and helpful and extremely welcoming towards our two year old. At one point the manager approached us and we were apprehensive but he merely wished to inform us that a tour party were arriving and requested to be able to smoke but the manager had noticed we had a small child and wanted to check it was ok with us. We asked that they didnt while we were there (another 30 minutes) but he reassured us that it was fine. The tour party turned out to be 20 people and they didnt smoke for the whole time we were there. I was completely gobsmacked by this personal, observant and attentive service which is sadly so rare in the UK. The bill came to 139 CHF for two 3 course meals, beers and 2 big bottles of mineral water (£57) and I was so full I waddled to the lift rather than walked (to the accompaniment of live jazz from the bar). I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough, the service, food and atmosphere were superb.
For anyone who is looking for further information on any of the facilities in the room/hotel the website is comprehensive. Simply select the Geneva hotel on the map and it lists the room types, spa/gym facilities, restaurants, meeting rooms, directions etc in an extremely easy to navigate way. You can also book via the website immediately if you wish.
***Overall View***
This hotel is one of the most hospitable and welcoming hotels I have visited in a long time, the staff really make it the friendly place that it is. The lobby and facilities are all worthy of the five stars it gets but I felt that the rooms really didnt reflect that at all, it was like two different hotels. Here everyone is going to point out that I only paid Travelodge prices and this is true, but I have stayed in better presented Travelodges for less money. The location isnt very central and whilst the hotel makes every effort to compensate for this, it is harder to be tied to the shuttle bus rather than walking out into Geneva streets. The hotel is quieter however than a central hotel would be and you are more likely to get a good nights sleep here (once you get over the pillows and the swooshy bedlinen! ). On holiday I wouldnt assume much time would be spent in the hotel room so I would recommend this hotel for perfectly adequate bedrooms but five star staff and facilities.

Background on Study Results of U.S. Academic Researchers
What was the purpose of the study?
The research team used a powerful new method for studying viral DNA and RNA sequences in vaccines. This method involves the use of microarray and high-throughput sequencing to characterize vaccine viral strains and determine if other viral sequences are present in the vaccine.
What vaccines did the researchers test?
The researchers tested the following vaccines:
- oral poliovirus (OPV, Bharat Biotech, India) – not licensed for use in the United States
- rubella (Meruvax II, Merck and Co., Inc.) - no longer distributed in the United States
- measles (Attenuvax, Merck and Co., Inc.) - no longer distributed in the United States
- yellow fever (YF-Vax, Sanofi-Pasteur) - licensed by FDA for individuals 9 months of age and older who are living in or traveling to areas where yellow fever is endemic, or travelling internationally to countries that require evidence of vaccination from entering travelers
- varicella-zoster virus or chickenpox (Varivax, Merck and Co., Inc.) - licensed by FDA for prevention of varicella (chickenpox) in individuals 12 months of age and older
- rotavirus (Rotarix, GlaxoSmithKline) - licensed by FDA for the prevention of rotavirus gastroenteritis in infants
- rotavirus (RotaTeq, Merck and Co., Inc) - licensed by FDA for the prevention of rotavirus gastroenteritis in infants
- measles, mumps, and rubella (M-M-R II, Merck and Co., Inc) - licensed by FDA for the prevention of measles, mumps and rubella in individuals 12 months of age and older
In addition to the above vaccines, the researchers tested Pediarix vaccine specifically for PCV1, but they did not test for the presence of any other viral DNA or RNA. Pediarix is licensed by FDA for the prevention of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough), hepatitis B and polio for infants and children 6 weeks of age to 7 years. Pediarix, which is not a live viral vaccine, is produced by GlaxoSmithKline.
What were the researchers' findings?
In characterizing viral strains in several vaccines, the researchers did not find any unexpected variations. An important finding was that an oral polio vaccine (manufactured in India, and not licensed for use in the United States) did not contain any sequences that are associated with the potential for the vaccine to cause a variant of poliovirus in a very small percentage of vaccinees. Because oral polio vaccine is no longer used in the United States, this finding is of greater significance for people in other countries.
The researchers also found several virus sequences that were not related to the vaccine strains. Most of these were already known to be present in the vaccines or the cells used to produce them and have already been evaluated by FDA and determined not to pose a safety concern.
However, one of the sequences found in the Rotarix vaccine, porcine circovirus 1 (PCV1), was not previously described or evaluated. The research team also conducted several follow-up tests to confirm these results.
What did the researchers report about PCV1?
The researchers identified PCV1 DNA sequences in the oral Rotarix vaccine.
The researchers did not identify PCV1 DNA sequences in the RotaTeq vaccine, which is also licensed by FDA for the prevention of rotavirus disease.
The researchers did not identify PCV1 DNA in any other of the tested vaccines.
The researchers concluded that the presence of PCV1 DNA in the Rotarix vaccine did not pose a safety risk. FDA has also stated that there is no evidence at this time that DNA from PCV1 in Rotarix poses a safety risk. PCV1 is not known to cause any disease in humans or other animals. Rotarix has been extensively studied, before and after approval, and found to have an excellent safety record.
What other viral sequences did the researchers detect?
The researchers found evidence of three other viral sequences in vaccines. These do not represent infectious viruses.
The first was an avian leukosis virus (ALV)-like virus sequence, which is called EAV (for endogenous avian retrovirus), found in vaccines produced in cells derived from eggs (measles, M-M-R II, and YF-Vax). EAV sequences are known to be present in all eggs and do not produce viruses that can grow in human cells. EAV sequences in eggs were discussed at FDA advisory committee meetings in the mid 1990s, and determined not to pose any concerns for the safety of vaccines.
The second were DNA sequences for a simian endogenous retrovirus, with some similarity to a different monkey virus called SRV-1. These were found in the Vero cell-produced vaccines (RotaTeq and Rotarix). Additional analysis by the researchers concluded that these are sequences that occur naturally in the cell DNA, and are not able to produce a virus that can grow. The cells used to produce these vaccines have also been tested by their manufacturers using assays for reverse transcriptase, which is a component of live retroviruses. The negative results in these assays provide strong additional assurance that live retroviruses are not present in these vaccines.
Third, the microarray study identified sequences similar to those of human endogenous retrovirus K (HERV-K) in vaccines produced in human cells (M-M-R-II, Meruvax II and Varivax). These sequences are already known to be present in human cell DNA, and their identification is an expected finding, because these vaccines are known to contain human cell DNA as a result of the way they are manufactured. It should also be noted that HERV-K sequences are not able to produce an infectious virus and therefore the presence of such sequences does not pose a safety concern in vaccines.
How do the findings of the research team affect FDA's assessment of vaccines?
The safety and effectiveness of vaccines is one of FDA's top priorities. FDA carefully evaluates the data it receives from manufacturers, as well as the most current science, to ensure that all licensed vaccines for the United States are safe and effective.
This research study used a powerful new technique to study vaccines and unexpectedly found the presence of PCV1 DNA in the rotavirus vaccine manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline.
PCV1 is not known to cause illness in humans, and there is no evidence that the presence of PCV1 poses any safety concern. FDA is obtaining additional information about this finding and will provide updated information and recommendations to the public and clinical community soon.
As science and technology evolve and more advanced screening tools become available, FDA will need to carefully assess how these should be applied. In this regard, FDA will be seeking the advice of experts whom we assemble when we convene an advisory committee meeting in the coming weeks.
FDA is committed to keeping the public informed and assuring the safety of vaccines.

Barbara Walters Regrets Asking Ricky Martin If He Was Gay
I'm so glad I'm not a celebrity because I know at some point, I'd want to slap Barbara Walters. That bitch is nosy! At least Babs can admit she sometimes crosses the none-of-your-beeswax line: In an interview with The Toronto Star, Walters said it was "inappropriate" of her to ask booty-shaking Ricky Martin if he was gay in a 2000 interview.
In the decade-old chitchat , Walters asked the Latino pop star how he had been "enjoying" his sexuality, to which he awkwardly — and vaguely — responded, "I live la vida loca!" Recently Walters told the Star that she regrets the insinuation that she made:
"In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not, and the way he refused to do it made everyone decide that he was. A lot of people say that destroyed his career, and when I think back on it now I feel it was an inappropriate question."
Martin has never spoken publicly about his sexual preferences; in 2008, he fathered twin sons through a surrogate mother. I'm not sure his career is "destroyed," but he's definitely been off the radar for a while. Dude is probably happy he doesn't have to deal with nosy interviewers anymore, though!

|From: Mark Carter (mcturra2000 at yahoo.co.uk)
Date: Sun Jul 31 06:47:13 EDT 2011
I'm trying to do a calculation which requires converting a date into years. Converting a date into seconds is OK, too. The problem is, there doesn't seem to be a good way of doing this in Racket. There is a date->seconds function, which looks useful. However, the make-date function takes in a week-day and year-day - which I don't know. I just want to pass in a year, month and day. I have no idea what weekday it is. The alternative would be to use srfi/19, which has a usable make-date function, but doesn't seem to be able to convert that to seconds. Any ideas what I need to do to accomplish this?

In 2006, experts estimated that merely 5% of print materials worldwide were produced in formats accessible to those with print disabilities—people with visual impairments, physical disabilities and/or learning disabilities that prevent them from reading a printed book. Bookshare, in collaboration with education, technology, publishing, student, parent and volunteer communities, changed that reality by becoming the world's largest online library of accessible books.
Today, when a person with a print disability requires a specific book for school or work, or they simply want to read a bestseller, they are likely to find it in Bookshare. Moreover, they can read that book in the format that best suits them, using a device of their choosing—from traditional assistive devices such as braille readers to mainstream technologies like MP3 players, smart phones and digital tablets. They can also use any of the tools built by Benetech, such as accessible readers for the iPhone and Android operating systems.
Within the U.S., Bookshare operates under an exception in copyright law that allows us to make accessible digital books legally available to any person with a qualifying disability. Current funding from the Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, enables us to provide Bookshare for free to all U.S. students with qualifying disabilities. We now serve over 425,000 members with a collection of over 500,000 titles (and growing). These titles are delivered as digital files and are available for download any time, day or night, in a variety of accessible formats.

Bookshare International
We believe that access to information is a universal human right—one critical to educational, economic and social development. That's why Benetech is on a mission to bring the proven Bookshare model to people in need all around the world.
In 2008, we launched the Bookshare International initiative to begin accomplishing this big goal. Since then, it has grown to serve members in more than 70 countries, including many in the developing world. Bookshare International delivers relevant content, targeted toward the specific needs and interests of local users, in languages that include: Afrikaans, Arabic, French, German, Hindi, Polish, Spanish and Tamil.
Thanks to the cooperation and support of many leading publishers, Bookshare can currently deliver over 460,000 titles of its collection to people with print disabilities around the world. And with the recent adoption of an international treaty aimed at expanding access to books for people with print disabilities, especially across borders, we look forward to being able to provide all of our available titles.
Today, millions across the world living with print disabilities—potential engineers, scientists and teachers—are left behind because they don't have access to the books they need. With Bookshare International, we can address this need and change the outcomes for these millions of people.

Resentment continues to rise among Americans as U.S. companies dole out IT jobs at discount wages to workers in India. Though it may come as little consolation to out-of-work IT professionals, some Indians do understand your pain -- while at the same time feeling entirely justified in reaping the rewards of outsourced American jobs. That twinge of sympathy is even less likely to turn the tide of outsourcing than is recent legislation that increases the cost of work visas.
According to a recent poll of 3,500 users conducted by SMS GupShup, an Indian social network, around 46 percent of respondents in Bangalore -- an IT job hub -- agreed with the sentiment that Americans are right to be angry at India for taking their jobs. In Mumbai, around 38 percent said Americans were right to feel angry. In Hyderabad, just over 33 percent could appreciate the ire; in Delhi, just under 33 percent shared the sentiment.
[ Also on InfoWorld.com: Who's buying Microsoft's outsourcing excuses? | Get sage advice on IT careers and management from Bob Lewis in InfoWorld's Advice Line blog and newsletter. ]
Sympathetic or not, Indian workers predictably aren't about to reject employment opportunities out of pity for their American counterparts. The sentiment among respondents, in fact, is that the U.S. brought the problem on itself. "Of course they're angry, but they brought it on themselves. They taught the world capitalism, and this is what it's all about, isn't it? More for less!" said a respondent referred to only as Divya, an HR professional who has spent 13 years in staffing and recruitment for offshore projects.
The United States has made efforts to reduce the number of jobs outsourced by American companies, most recently by passing a bill that increases visa fees for foreign workers. The fee increases are only levied on companies where over half of U.S.-based employees use work visas. Revenue from those increased fees, by the way, don't go toward job stimulation but rather heightening security on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Will the new bill make much of a difference for job-hungry Americans? Critics in the States don't think so. According to the IDG News Services, "Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology, said the fee is a step in the right direction but doesn't go far enough to deter the 'exploitive practices' of the visa program."
Respondents to the GupShup poll don't appear to think so either. "We are taking their jobs, there's no two ways about it. We're better, faster and more efficient; this backlash from them was bound to happen," said a user by the name of Bharati, an engineer who spent the first two years of her career in the United States. "Their new policies make no difference to us anymore, it's a global market now -- there's plenty of work out there."
A user named Pradyut, a business development executive in a KPO firm, shared a similar sentiment: "American firms will find new ways to outsource work from India and South Asia because similar services there would cost them a bomb. Their anger might be justified but they really can't do much about it. They really can't stay competitive without us."

Albert Pinkham Ryder
Also Known as: Albert P. Ryder
New Bedford, Massachusetts 1847
New York, New York 1917
Photo Caption:
Albert Pinkham Ryder, Peter A. Juley & Son Collection, Smithsonian American Art Museum J0002132
Luce Artist Quote
"When my father placed a box of colors and brushes in my hands, and I stood before my easel with its square of stretched canvas, I realized that I had in my possession the wherewith to create a masterpiece that would live through the coming ages." Ryder, "Paragraphs from the Studio of a Recluse," quoted in Broun, Albert Pinkham Ryder, 1989
Painter. Themes of nature, literature and religion dominate his visionary, romantic and highly imaginative paintings. The Race Track (Death on a Pale Horse) (ca. 1880s–90s) is a significant work.
Joan Stahl American Artists in Photographic Portraits from the Peter A. Juley & Son Collection (Washington, D.C. and Mineola, New York: National Museum of American Art and Dover Publications, Inc., 1995)
Additional Biographies
Albert P. Ryder was a descendant of Cape Cod families, and his paternal grandparents belonged to a strict Methodist sect whose women dressed Quaker fashion. In 1840 the family moved to New Bedford, then the greatest whaling port in the world, and it was there that Albert was born in 1847. In 1879 the family moved to New York, Ryder's home for the rest of his life.
He studied for a time at the National Academy of Design, and also under the portraitist and engraver, William Marshall. His first recorded exhibition at the National Academy was in 1873. In 1877 he went to London for a month and in 1887 and 1896 he crossed and recrossed the Atlantic on a ship captained by a friend of his.
The preceding information is a selection of the facts of Ryder's biography; [T]he facts do not illumine his gifts and his personality. As Barbara Novak observed, Ryder's entire oeuvre, religious or secular, might be seen as an act of devotion. Ryder painted two versions of the Easter morning encounter of Christ with the Magdalene, another version of the Way of the Cross, the extraordinary Jonah, and many small seascapes. The latter are the work of a visionary and a romantic, one who sees all of nature within the purview of the Almighty, as is also the case in his Jonah.
In studying Ryder's work, it is interesting to discover that the human figure is most fully realized in the paintings with religious subject matter; in the two paintings of Christ and the Magdalene, and the Joan of Arc, the figure is larger in scale, and rendered with more detail, and more psychic identity than is the case in his other works. In the filtered daylit or moonlit land- and seascapes (actually the terms land- and seascapes with their suggestion of horizontal extension in space do not seem appropriate for these glimpses of nature distilled by the hand and the spirit of Ryder), the human figures are embedded in nature, their posture and gestures hardly distinguishable from their setting.
Lloyd Goodrich says that Ryder is "one of the few authentic religious painters of his period" in whom religion was not mere conformity, but deep personal emotion. The life of Christ moved him to some of his most tender and impressive works."
Because of Ryder's method of working on his canvases over long periods of time, applying layers of pigment upon earlier coats which were not entirely dry, his paintings are in fragile condition. Many of them can only survive in entirely controlled and stable conditions.

A biographical look at the escapades of Milanese bank robber Renato Vallanzasca.
Michele Placido reunites with Romanzo Criminale star Kim Rossi Stuart for this chronicle of the life of Milanese mobster Renato Vallanzasca. Flashing back from a 1980s prison cell, the action recalls Jean-François Richet's Mesrine duology. But Placido strings events together rather than delving into Vallanzasca's psyche or placing the Banda della Comasina in its socio-political context. Rossi Stuart is dangerously genial as he muscles into Francesco Scianna's territory with an implacability fuelled by narcissism, cruelty and cocaine. But the linearity and sketchiness of the secondary characters impose a superficiality that's exacerbated by the perfunctory staging of the numerous shootouts and jailbreaks. Arnaldo Catinari's harsh imagery adds a veneer of authenticity, but this is slick instead of steely and in thrall instead of enthralling
A slick, enthralling look at the life of Vallanzasca but fails to truly get under his skin.

Henry E. Elrod, the donor of the collection, was a consulting engineer in Houston, Texas. He was a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. He was a friend of George A. Hill and was interested in Texas currency, donating several warrants and other artifacts to the San Jacinto Museum.
The Henry E. Elrod Collection is comprised of correspondence, financial and legal documents dating from 1866 to 1870 which concern the city of Brownsville, Texas. The single correspondence is dated February 5th, 1867, and is addressed to the city council of Brownsville from G. Reynolds, Deputy City Marshal of Brownsville, Texas, regarding claims against the Mayor and future laws and precedents that should be defined by the city council.
Financial documents include four bills and a police payroll. There are two bills charged to the city of Brownsville from two individuals for services rendered to the city dated in 1869. Two partially printed bills dated in 1869 and 1870 to the City of Brownsville were for purchases made from Joseph L. Putegnat, druggist and apothecary, dealer in drugs, chemicals, paints, fancy goods, etc. There is also an 1869 Brownsville Police Department payroll list signed by Police Chief Bryan Gorman.
The legal document is a three page ledger dating from 1866 to 1867 which lists the names of the 223 people buried in the Brownsville Cemetery.

Just a week after Minnesota exercised the fourth-year option on Derrick Williams, guaranteeing the former No. 2 overall pick $6.3 million in 2014-15, Wednesday's season-opener presented the first chance for everyone to see how much of a role Williams would play on this year's Timberwolves team.
Leading up to the game, many wondered if by shedding 20 pounds over the offseason Williams would become a more vital part of the rotation at small forward, even if in a bench role behind Corey Brewer. Shockingly, though, Williams didn't even get in the game. How frustrated was he by that, and how could his new contract affect his value on the trade market this season? Lets take a look.
