New supercomputer platform
IBM today announced its new System Cluster 1350. The new System Cluster 1350 is fully scalable up to 1,024 nodes. IBM is marketing the System Cluster 1350 as the ideal choice for building a supercomputer. Target markets of the System Cluster 1350 include financial services, industrial, petroleum, life sciences and research.
IBM touts the System Cluster 1350 as: "The IBM System Cluster 1350 provides clients with an arsenal of technologies to tackle the challenges of high performance computing environments, while reducing the complexity and risk of configuring, deploying and managing Linux clusters," said Wendy McGee, director, IBM Cluster Solutions. "We've collaborated with leading-edge processor, accelerator and networking companies to provide clients unprecedented levels of speed, choice and flexibility with this offering."
As the System Cluster 1350 includes clustering technologies, it's fully compatible with various IBM products. On the server side of things, IBM multi-core rack mount server's model x3550, x3650, x3455, x3655, x3755 Intel and AMD based servers.
Power 5 servers
models p5-505/505Q, p5-510/510Q, p5-550/550Q are compatible too. In addition to traditional rack mount servers the System Cluster 1350 supports IBM Blade Servers models HS21, JS21, LS21, LS41 and QS20 as well.
Since clusters require a high-speed interconnect the IBM System Cluster 1350 supports the latest networking technologies including 10 Gigabit, Gigabit and 10/100 Ethernet protocols. Infiniband 1x and 4x protocols are also supported for up to 10-20 Gigabit data transfer rates. Myrinet is also supported with the System Cluster 1350.
Additionally the System Cluster 1350 is also the first cluster to support QLogic's HTx adapter powered by
PathScale's InfiniPath HyperMessaging architecture
for greater performance improvements.
ClearSpeed Advance PCI-X based accelerators
are also available in System Cluster 1350 compatible servers. Multiple ClearSpeed Advance PCI-X cards can be installed for linear performance improvements.
IBM's first customer for its System Cluster 1350 is the Indiana University. Once home to the world's 23rd fastest supercomputer named
Big Red
, the Indiana University has replaced
Big Red
with a System Cluster 1350 cluster. Computing power of the new System Cluster 1350 based cluster is 20.4 trillion numerical operations a second—up from
Big Red's
20 billion.
The IBM System Cluster 1350 is available immediately. Pricing highly varies depending on the configuration.
"This is about the Internet. Everything on the Internet is encrypted. This is not a BlackBerry-only issue. If they can't deal with the Internet, they should shut it off." -- RIM co-CEO Michael Lazaridis

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share with you my latest composition, which was made in response to SoundShoots' Revenge' theme.
Description: "With this track I wanted to captivate the chemical sensations that we experience when something angers or upsets us and the track reflects upon the fact that in these moment of rage it's our body's natural chemical reaction to want to seek revenge. The track starts with a sombre feel of rain falling and a home recording of heavy breathing. The emotional turbulence then escalates as the track unfolds, becoming more abrasive and frenzied until the feelings snap... The track was put together using live home guitar recordings, midi bass and synth recordings, sampled percussion and a rain sample from freesound user Zoom h4."
Feel free to listen to the track at http://www.soundshoots.com/tracks/563/edit and as ever I welcome any comments or feedback!
Love the story behind it, pretty awesome track man.
Thanks buddy, really pleased you like it!
Apologies everyone, the correct link for the "Biochemistry" track is http://www.soundshoots.com/artist/filthy-temples/track/563
Sorry for getting it wrong in the original post!
Hope you enjoy

OXFORDSHIRE has been ranked fifth in the latest 'adoption score cards' with children waiting 30 per cent less time to find a permanent home than the national average.
But there is still room for improvement, says the Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Families.
The Department of Education started scoring councils in 2012 for its Action Plan for Adoption, which aims to cut the time the 6,000 children approved for adoption wait to join families.
In 2011 Oxfordshire had 450 children in its care and scores for the period April 1, 2010, to March 31, 2013 show the average time between a child entering council care and moving in with a family was 450 days, compared with 647 days nationally.
Telford and Wrekin Council's came top with children waiting an average of 360 days to be placed, while children waited 417 days in Shropshire, 437 in Darlington and 447 in Cornwall.
Oxfordshire County Council's Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Families Melinda Tilley said: "These figures show our adoption team is doing a good job in finding the right adoptive parents and helping them provide the stability of a loving home for some of the most vulnerable young people in society.
"It is right that all councils have rigorous processes in place to ensure children are matched with the right families, and this always takes time, but wherever delays can be kept to a minimum, that can only benefit the children.
"This work depends on adoptive families coming forward in sufficient numbers. I would urge anyone to consider whether they could change a child's life by becoming an adopter."
There was a 34 per cent rise in number of approved adoptions nationally between 2012 and 2013, but performance targets are set to get even tougher between now and 2016 with the average time between a child entering care and moving in with its family being set at 14 months.
Visit www.oxfordshire gov.uk/adoption or call 0800 783 5724.
The council would like to hear from people willing to adopt older children, children with disabilities and siblings who need to stay together.

Linda Jenkin Costanzo: Joy the Big Boy brings is worth every penny
"You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals." This quote by Paul McCartney comes to mind as I look at my two Burmese cats, which came from two different breeders 10 years ago.
Seamus – average build, timid and lovable – enjoys excellent health and protests only his yearly visit to the veterinarian. His buddy Harley isn't as fortunate. When he arrived as a kitten, we admired his sweet disposition, chunky body and huge paws. His silky, reddish-brown sable coat made him the big shot of the house and a hit with guests. I nicknamed him the Big Boy for his robust appearance. Yet health issues lurked underneath.
Shortly after his arrival, he had a breakout of measles-like dots covering his face. After several hundred dollars in blood work and tests, I became familiar with the steroid prednisolone, to treat occasional allergy flare-ups. Their origin was never determined. The steroids worked, but for three weeks I had an invincible Sylvester Stallone (from the movie "Rocky") with a bad case of measles running through my house chasing little Seamus.
Since then, I've lost track of the number of allergy attacks the Big Boy has had and how much I've spent on him. If a poster existed for a lemon law with cats, his picture would be on it.
In 2012, I noticed him constantly squinting. Thankfully, he didn't need glasses, however, he became lethargic and was suffering from a corneal ulceration, a painful eye issue that eventually destroys the cornea if left untreated. My veterinarian immediately referred him to a specialist, a veterinary ophthalmologist. She told me he needed two oral medications plus four different eye drops, each one to be given three to six times a day in 15-minute intervals, so one dose wouldn't interfere with the previous. As I left with the Big Boy, my head spun as the doctor handed me a chart to record more than 20 doses daily.
I felt like Clara Barton. The Big Boy got wise to the 15-minute timer and headed to my son's bedroom when it went off. I now felt like Nurse Ratched. Unfortunately, the eye didn't improve and he needed corneal surgery. I reflected back when I brought him home as a healthy kitten. I never dreamed of the pain and discomfort he'd suffer. My heart ached for him. No one was in his corner to be his advocate. The alternative was unthinkable.
So I gambled on the surgery. My emergency fund took a $1,600 hit, yet I learned years ago to include pet care in my monthly budget for rainy days like this. In January the problem recurred a second time on a different location of his cornea. I knew the cost, the outcome and the work needed to correct it. The Big Boy rebounded a second time.
I heard that Americans will spend $60 billion on their pets this year. I also heard that the ancient Egyptians worshipped cats. I don't worship the Big Boy, but he holds some God-like qualities. He loves us unconditionally and always awaits our return at the day's end. There's no price to put on that. There never is, for these little people with fur coats.
I smile as he saunters toward his favorite sunny spot in the foyer. Seamus and our two dachshunds glance uneasily at him. No one challenges Rocky in the arena. Meanwhile, I'll plan my budget and set aside bucks for the Big Boy. He's loved and he knows it.

The Naked Campaign: It's a Mad, Mad. Mad, Mad Election
1- Obama actually got more delegates on Tuesday. 14 more. His momentum is real.
2- Obama was tied in the popular vote, very different than polls of just a few weeks ago. This shows his surge.
3- Obama carried 6 more states than she. And they were diverse; especially impressive was bellwether Missouri.
4- Hillary lost the money race in January. He raised $31 million and she only $14 million. That's a 2-1 margin.
5- The calendar will be very Obama friendly for now. He's got caucuses (which have been great for him), big African American turnout places like the Potomac primaries and his home state of Hawaii. Her next big shots are Ohio and Pennsylvania in a month or more.
What will Bill do?

Seattle Rock Orchestra Performs The Beatles' The White Album
More Info
STG presents Seattle Rock Orchestra performs The Beatles' The White Album at The Moore Theatre in Seattle on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, 2014.
SRO continues their exploration of The Beatles' discography, paying tribute to what was at the time the band's most eclectic and expansive offering to date. Featuring the songs 'Dear Prudence,' 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps,' 'Blackbird,' 'Helter Skelter,' Ob-la-di Ob-la-da,' 'Martha My Dear' and many more.
Seattle Rock Orchestra (SRO) was born out of the desire to marry the unabashed performance energy of rock'n'roll with the broader palette of musical nuances treasured in classical music. Founded by bassist Scott Teske, SRO started modestly in 2008, performing their first show as a 13-piece string orchestra. As word of the ensemble and its mission spread, the size of the group and the profile of the performances matured, leading within months to high-profile collaborations with Jeremy Enigk, Damien Jurado, Jesse Sykes and Rosie Thomas. 2009 brought the orchestra to center stage with its sold out re-imagining of Arcade Fire's Funeral, followed by a move to the Moore Theatre for their 2010-2011 season and tributes to David Bowie, The Beach Boys, Radiohead, Queen and performances at the Sasquatch Music Festival in both 2010 and 2011. SRO continued to develop it's reputation for high quality, high energy shows over its 2011-2012 & 2012-2013 seasons with tributes to Stevie Wonder, Muse, Led Zeppelin, The Smashing Pumpkins, The Beatles, and the introduction of their annual 'New Works' and 'Chamber Rock' shows.
Now a 50+ piece orchestra with strings, woodwinds, brass, choir, backing band, and a rotating cast of guest vocalists, SRO is embarking on its fourth full season of programming.
Seattle Rock Orchestra is an associated program of Shunpike.
SRO's Mission Seattle Rock Orchestra is dedicated to creating performances that are spectacular, fun, educational, and of exceptional quality. SRO celebrates and perpetuates the orchestral tradition while exploring the rich history of rock and pop music; presents new works by emerging artists; engages in collaborations across genres and artistic disciplines; and offers exciting educational programs for youth.

Now, some people who live there hope 2012 doesn't usher in a repeat.
"I'm sure everybody's looking for them but hopefully we won't have the same mess as last year," said Paul Duke, who kicked off 2011 by plucking dead birds from his yard.
Scientists say the loud cracks and booms from celebratory fireworks likely sent the birds into such a tizzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other before plummeting to their deaths last New Year's Eve. The birds landed on roofs, sidewalks, streets and fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser.
The blackbird die-off, coupled with tens of thousands of dead drum fish that washed up on the shores of the Arkansas River, flung the state into the national headlines and drew conspiracy theorists and filmmakers to the town that shares Gov. Mike Beebe's last name.
Some people speculated that the birds had been poisoned; others said their deaths marked the beginning of the apocalypse.
"It's just got to be a pain in my career," Police Chief Wayne Ballew said.
Still, Ballew said he wouldn't be surprised if people sit out on their front porches in case the winged creatures fall from the sky again.
"I guess we could have an annual blackbird watch," he said with a laugh. "People can just bring their umbrellas, open them up and walk through the neighborhood and hope they don't get hit."
Charles Moore doesn't plan to have an umbrella at the ready, but he will have his camera out.
Last year, he drifted off to sleep before the ball — and birds — dropped.
"When we got up on New Year's Day and walked out to get the paper, we saw all the carnage out there," he said. "So we thought we would be on the watch for it this time."
Ballew says his officers will step up patrols near where the blackbirds roost.
Ornithologist Karen Rowe says wildlife officers are working with the police to make sure no one tries to make it rain birds again.
"We do have concerns about somebody trying to go up there and disturb the birds purposefully," she said.
Fireworks will probably go off again, though the town outlaws the larger kind that likely freaked out the birds.
"We don't want to take that away from the younger people," Ballew said, even though the fireworks rattled his walls and frightened his shih tzu last year.
No one had called the police about blackbirds in Beebe on Friday night, but that could change over the weekend.
"If anything crazy happens, I'm sure the whole world will know," he said.

Big Four at Sonisphere coming to DVD
If you didn't happen to be holidaying in Bulgaria when the 'Big Four' of metal played Sonisphere, never fear. The historic coming together of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax has been immortalised on DVD, just in time for Christmas stockings.
The Big Four Live From Sofia is released on 29 October with a bunch of extra trimmings, while super-fans can go for the 'super deluxe' box set option. It will certainly be interesting to see how much behind-the-scenes fratenising (or indeed earnest discussion of who the real headliner is) makes it onto the extras.
Metallica of course kicked off their industrious Australian arena tour this week. After the three September shows, they jet off to Japan before returning for the bulk of the dates. So, who was there at Rod Laver Arena? Did the awesome abound?

Performance memory modules at a blazing 2600MHz, solid state drives with 512GB capacities, flash storage solutions, see them all at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2010.
For many memory and storage manufacturers, 2010 is the year to refresh the 2009 product lineup for the industry's hottest new connectivity standard – SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0). Many are also rapidly expanding their Solid State Drive (SSD) product range to cater to different tiers of the market.
Production of the Elpida BASE/BBSE DDR3 memory Integrated Circuits (ICs) that have served us so well in 2009, have also been put to a stop. Enthusiast memory makers now find themselves (or their suppliers) running out of Elpida ICs to bin, so most are now making the switch to Powerchip (PSC) A3G-A type DDR3 memory ICs instead.
With these pointers in mind, let us take a look at what COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2010 has in store for us when it comes to memory and storage.
ADATA might not be famed for its enthusiast memory lineup, but the truth is that it is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) behind many of such products, which are very popular in the market.
OEM companies are often known for having an inadequate top-flight product range under their house brands in order not to outshine their customers, but ADATA still has a strong following for its Xtreme, Plus and Gaming (XPG) lineup.
High density memory is all the rage these days, and ADATA offers them in a few flavours.
Here you see the updated Plus memory, now known as Plus Series VER 2.0, complete with meaner cooling.
This is the Gaming Series Version 2.0, seen with larger heatsink protusions than the initial Gaming Series.
The Xtreme Series is targetted at the overclocking enthusiast, being binned at alower latency than the rest.
ADATA even has high density (8GB kit) performance memory (DDR3-1600MHz, CL9) on the SO-DIMM form factor, providing laptop and Mobile on Desktop (MoDT) users both speed and capacity.
The entire ADATA XPG lineup in full glory.

In a letter to Google CEO Larry Page today, French data protection regulator CNIL has warned Google's new privacy policy appears to violate the European Union's data protection rules.
As our research published today shows, nine in ten people haven't read the policy, with 47% of people who use a Google service regularly not knowing any change was being proposed.
The way Google collects and uses personal information has been a concern for privacy groups around the world, and the new policy will allow Google to combine everything it knows about you to better target advertisements – which is after all how it makes its money.
We have called for the company to not implement the new policy until its impact is fully understood and consumers can be confident there is adequate privacy protection in place.
Now CNIL have renewed their request to pause implementation of the policy pending a full review, saying Europe's data protection authorities "are deeply concerned about the combination of personal data cross services." As we have also highlighted, the new privacy policy's vague wording was cited as being difficult to understand "even for trained privacy professionals".
According to the letter the European regulators "have strong doubts about the lawfulness and fairness of such processing, and about its compliance with" regional rules, and CNIL said its "preliminary analysis shows that Google's new policy does not meet the requirements of the European Directive on Data Protection".
The impact of Google's new policy cannot be understated, but the public are in the dark about what the changes actually mean.
Companies should not be allowed to bury in legal jargon and vague statements how they handle our personal information, and it is very positive that the Article 29 Working Group are seeking to ensure consumers understand what the detail of Google's new privacy policy means.
If people don't understand what is happening to their personal information, how can they make an informed choice about using a service?
Here is a step by step guide on how to delete your Google browsing history before the new privacy policy begins tomorrow.

When they pick through the rubble of another lost season, the Edmonton Oilers will find a few glimmers of optimism to fall back on. Taylor Hall, for example, looks like the real deal. The No. 1 choice in the 2010 NHL entry draft had a slow start to his pro career, in the same way that Steven Stamkos did, but as he gains more confidence, and gets more NHL games under his belt, he looks as if he could be the franchise cornerstone that they will eventually need to turn the corner on this current - and mostly discouraging chapter - in the organization's history. A couple of the other kids, Jordan Eberle and Magnus Paajarvi, also seem like they'll be players as well, maybe not with the same impact as Hall, but keepers nevertheless.
But this season? On the heels of a 4-1 defeat to the Minnesota Wild the other night, it is now officially a lost cause. There was a pretty good indication that the bottom might fall out on the Oilers as soon as Ryan Whitney, their most valuable player this year, injured his ankle on Dec. 28. The initial reports on his return were vague - and probably for good reason.
It turned out Whitney needed surgery to repair a tendon, which happened Monday, and means he's gone for the season. Whitney was in the midst of a breakout season, playing 25 minutes a night as their top defenceman and somehow managing to record a plus-13 rating on a team that, at the time he went down, had given up 29 more goals than it scored.
Whitney's loss was critical because it left the Oilers without a No. 1 blueliner - and also helped undermine the team's power play, which finally scored a goal in the Wild loss, ending a slump that had lasted for the previous 44 tries with the man-advantage.
Some teams can survive the loss of a key player and still find a way to be competitive. A team such as Edmonton in the early stages of a rebuilding program simply can't.
Shawn Horcoff, who was in the midst of a decent bounce-back year, has missed 18 games, but may return this week. However, Horcoff's comeback will be offset by the absence of Ales Hemsky, who left the Wild game with concussion-like symptoms. Coach Tom Renney suggested that there wasn't a specific hit that laid Hemsky out, more an accumulation of shots to the head that had left him feeling out of sorts.
Sounds, in other words, a lot like what happened to Sidney Crosby this month - when Crosby initially figured his injury, suffered in the Winter Classic on a behind-the-back hit from Washington Capitals forward David Steckel, was just a sore neck. Players all around the league are still trying to figure that out - and their first instincts are usually to try and play through an injury, rather than take the cautious approach.
In the meantime, though, the Oilers, who'd been giving the Calgary Flames a run for the coveted 14th spot in the turtle derby at the bottom of the Western Conference, now have the basement all to themselves, and likely will for the duration of the season.
This is not an entirely unexpected turn of events. When they decided to revamp the culture and put all the kids in the lineup, the Oilers understood that the transition from old to new would take time - and that even the most talented of youngsters generally have their ups and downs in their first NHL seasons.
The trick is to skate that fine line between keeping them on the development path and not having them become so discouraged that they're actually going backward - by trying to go solo too often, in the hopes of making a difference.
It isn't easy to come up with new ways of exhorting the troops when the sad reality is there in the standings every day for all to see - that a year that started out with some promise and had some heartening moments along the way is slowly devolving into the same sort of dead-end finish that they endured last season.

Not for Two Channel Music Listening
I bought these after reading the many positive reviews online. I was pretty excited and really wanted to like them, but alas, it wasn't to be. My previous Polks were the weak link in my otherwise pretty good audio chain (Marantz integrated amp, Rega RP1 turntable, Oppo BDP95 disc player). The Polks did some things quite well for the price, but the highs were rather sharp and the bass was a bit weak. The BMR technology sounded like a great solution. Here's the problem though: The highs were smooth as can be (as advertised), but they lacked energy in the highest registers in a big way that robbed all the excitement from the music. Also, the bass was overpowering the already weak highs and the two didn't integrate very well. I can see how the original surround sound package could sound good with the addition of more BMR's, but for two channel stereo, they were a big fail. The build quality was also very disappointing for the price I paid for these speakers. Four of the Eight screw seats for the spikes were stripped when I screwed them in and just kept turning when I tried to tighten them. Asthetically, they are also quite ugly. Sharp cornered vinyl wrapped MDF boxes. The color of the "walnut" was much darker than the pictures. Crutchfield was great on the return and I ended up buying a pair of GoldenEar Triton 7's that I absolutely LOVE! In closing I would say that these are pretty good for movies, but lousy for two channel stereo music listening.
Pros: Smooth. Deep bass.
Cons: Lacking treble energy. Timing between highs and lows seems off. Large and ugly.

Climate Name Change
A petition to the World Meteorological Organization to switch away from naming extreme storms after normal people, e.g., Katrina, Sandy, Andrew, and instead name them after climate change deniers like Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann and Marco Rubio.
"Since 1954, the World Meteorological Organization has been naming extreme storms after people. As scientific evidence shows that climate change is creating increasingly frequent and devastating storms, and with climate scientists declaring these extreme weather events as the new normal, we propose a new naming system. A system that names extreme storms caused by climate change after the policy makers who deny climate change and obstruct climate policy."
The proposal is of course meant to provoke a laugh, but the accompanying video is surprisingly well made. Watch it and read more at Climatenamechange.org.+

Best Basketball Players of 2013
The Top Ten
Lebron is amazing should be easily the number 1 player of the year MVP
Before its all over he may be the greatest ever. Never understood why haters hate on a humble young phenom like King.
You are my favorite basketball player I've ever seen
He is better than Stephen curry and kevin durantV 7 Comments
Great young player and the scary part is, I think he has still yet to hit his prime. Since most people have come to accept that LeBron is the best player as of now, Durant will most likely be named MVP at the season's end. - Lakersfan97
NO ONE CAN DEFEND HIM WHEN I COME 2 THE THUNDER WE ARE GOING 2 BE THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE 72-0 #2 FAN FOR KD you ARE THE BEST
He just rocks! Nobody can defend him when he's going to dunk! And don't even think the only thing he can do is dunk. He can handle the bal like a point gaurd. He can shoot from long range and is an amazing basketball player!
He is the best in 2014 he scores most points which is really good for the team he isn't a ball hog and he doesn't flop *cough* *cough* Lebron James *cough*
And he got MVP
It's obvious that he is a great player because the clips are struggling without him. - Lakersfan97
Chris paul uses his speed, athletics, ball handling skills, and his step back jumper to get the clippers to whatthey are
As flash has reached his 30s, he has slowed down a bit. Still a great player, but has lost some of the hop in his step. - Lakersfan97V 1 Comment
Underrated player, Carmelo Anthony has led the knicks to a remarkable record this season. Sure candidate for MVP. - Lakersfan97
He's my number 1 FAVORITE B-BALL PLAYER
Yes, still at 34 years of age, I have Kobe Bean Bryant at number 2. He has put up amazing numbers this year and has even dropped his usual scoring role, to dish out many assists. He's the second greatest player of all time, behind Jordan of course. Of the lakers weren't struggling, my favorite player would be sure to bring home that coveted MVP trophy. - Lakersfan97
He's awesome compared to his age he's over 30
My opinion is kobe bryant is number one now he is still behind Michael Jordan and doctor dre his scoring has went down so as feild goals but his confidence has rose up lets go black mamba
Even at the age of 34 Kobe is still better than LebronV 1 Comment
Has proven himself to be a great POINT GUARD this year by distributing the ball more. - Lakersfan97
Honestly, I think he's a top 5 talent, but he's been out te whole year. When he comes back though, I think he'll be te Adrian Peterson of the NBA. - Lakersfan97
No derrick rose is better than kobe he should be #3
He is better then lebron
D. Rose is #1 and he should be #1 on this chartV 1 Comment
Kevin Love averages 17PPG, 12RPG.449 FG%,.352 3PT% in his career. He is a top tier scorer and his numbers speak for themselves on how dangerous he is as a player. He should be in the run for MVP
Has a lot of potential. I think he could be the best pg in the league a few years down the road. He has proven his scoring ability, but he needs to get his teammates involved more. - Lakersfan97V 1 Comment
The Contenders
Injuries aside, Dwight is the greatest center in the league. Also might be the biggest defensive presence in the league. - Lakersfan97
He is the best because he can dunk better than anyone

The Hurricanes kept their play-off chances alive with a dramatic 28-25 victory over the Chiefs.
The visitors had looked on course for victory after leading 25-21 until the dying minutes of the match at Westpac Stadium in Wellington. But the Hurricanes never gave up and hammered away at the Chiefs' line well after the 80-minute mark, and were rewarded by television match official Mike Fraser who ruled Dane Coles had grounded the ball for a late five-pointer.
The result leaves the Chiefs, who scored tries through Aaron Cruden, Ben Tameifuna and Tawera Kerr-Barlow, waiting on the outcome of the Stormers' match to see if they will finish top of the Super Rugby ladder and gain home advantage in the finals. The Hurricanes, for whom Julian Savea crossed twice, now need other results to go their way to claim a place in the top six.
An intercept try to Cruden edged the New Zealand Conference winners ahead in the 58th minute and they thought they had done enough until Coles' heroics at the death. It was a difficult night for the kickers in the swirling wind with Beauden Barrett managing to slot just five of his nine kicks and Cruden landing just four of his seven attempts.
In an exciting end-to-end encounter the Chiefs drew first blood when Kerr-Barlow dotted down with just three minutes on the clock. Cory Jane conceded a penalty for being in front of the kicker and from the resulting line-out the Chiefs made metres with a series of pick-and-drives before Kerr-Barlow burst through a gap to score.
The Hurricanes responded with a Barrett penalty before they produced one of the tries of the season. Tim Bateman, Conrad Smith and Barrett all slipped tackles before Smith was eventually hauled down 10 metres out. The ball was shifted out to Jane who was surrounded by Chiefs defenders, so the Hurricanes swung it left and Savea finished off in the left-hand corner.
The Hurricanes lost Jack Lam to a shoulder injury in the 16th minute but his replacement Brad Shields filled the void well and it was his turnover steal that resulted in a second try for Savea. Barrett's conversion extended the home side's lead to 15-7.
Referee Jonathan Kaplan was involved in a moment of controversy when he sin-binned Hurricanes prop Ben May in the 28th minute for a tip-tackle on Sonny Bill Williams even though the soon-to-depart Chiefs inside centre did not go above the horizontal. And the Chiefs profited when Tameifuna burrowed over from close range just two minutes before the break to level the scores.
A penalty on the stroke of half-time restored the Hurricanes' lead. The Chiefs snatched the advantage back in the 58th minute when Cruden claimed a simple converted intercept try under the posts when he snaffled Barrett's intended inside pass to Savea off a Hurricanes scrum move.
Barrett kicked another penalty to close the gap before Coles sealed the dramatic win with a match-winning try, which was converted.

"The Silent Girl: A Rizzoli & Isles Book" (Ballantine Books), by Tess Gerritsen: Tess Gerritsen's latest novel featuring homicide Detective Jane Rizzoli and coroner Maura Isles gives readers another great thrill ride with her two popular characters.
A woman's hand is found near a trash bin and the rest of her remains are up on a roof in a building in Boston's Chinatown. The evidence at the scene stumps Rizzoli when hairs found on the body appear to belong to something that isn't human, and metal shards seem to be from an ancient weapon.
The investigation leads in another unexpected direction when a closed case from 19 years ago takes center stage. A cook in a Chinatown restaurant opened fire on the customers and killed several people before he killed himself, or at least that's what the police report says. Survivors have started receiving notes in their mailboxes saying, "I know what really happened." Rizzoli tries to persuade a teacher of Chinese martial arts who lost her husband that fateful night to come clean, but the woman refuses.
Gerritsen delivers an amazing cultural clash between the police and Chinese immigrants. She mentions in the acknowledgments that "The Silent Girl" is her most personal novel to date, and it shows in the high-quality writing.
The television show "Rizzoli & Isles" on TNT is a great companion to the books. Readers will want to watch, and TV fans will want to read more adventures. "The Silent Girl" is one of Gerritsen's best, and with the likely support of TV fans, the novel should land on best-seller lists.

Personalized Reasons I Love Treat Jar

text: Nobody knows nothin' but this advanced tech and cures that you hear about can't be all national inquirer hype. Economic neccessity is the mother of all invention and creation. My personal theory is that women will keep us from going to space, as in 'I think that's enough reading. Put down that book and let's make love.' And magic is only stuff that we cn't imagine and see now. Did anybody realize during Beethoven of Schubert's time what important composers they would be. They were despised. Did anybody know what a light bulb was before Edison, or a record player or a movie or what a Klingon was before Rodenberry. I'm sure prophet's gazed at the stars and drew spacemen in suits on cave walls and built the pyrimids God knows how - that technological knowledge was lost it seems. My father told me a sc-fi story once of an astronaut who went to the moon and peered inside a cave to see a strange green light and when he came back to Earth many years later he went to a musuem and saw a painting by Davinci that showed that same strange green light inside a cave so even time could be relative to the vast strangeness of not only the outer universe, but the inner one as well.

The next album from Amy Winehouse will be released on December 5th. It will include previously unreleased tracks, alternative versions of existing hits and brand new songs.
[photogallerylink id=45209 align=left]Think this is just a way to make money for the record label? Island Records says, its not.
A label rep said, friends of [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Amy Winehouse[/lastfm], Mark Ronson & Salaam Remi selected the tracks for the album. The rep said, It's "a collection of songs that deserved to be heard, a collection of songs that were a fitting testament to Amy the artist and, as importantly, Amy their friend."
After Amy's death, there was also a children's charity set up in her name; one pound, or $1.60, from each album sale will go to the charity.

Psst. Do you wanna watch what will surely be one of your favorite Glee numbers ever?
Seriously, this Adele mashup from next week's episode (which was also Glee's historic 300th number), will knock your socks right off. Not only do the Troubletones kill "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You," but Santana (Naya Rivera) might bring you to tears with her haunting rendition of the latter. Why?
Because it is quite clear she's singing to Brittany (Heather Morris).That makes the lyrics that much more devastating. Not exactly something Brittana fans want to see or hear. In fact, is it just us or do they both look heartbroken during the number?
Plus, Mercedes (Amber Riley) wailing on a song never hurts anybody. New Directions, you are definitely in trouble.
Have a look at the video below for yourself, and then go down to the comments and tell us how many times you've watched it on repeat. We're up to seven.
Glee airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on Fox.

Team Recruiting: Audi Cycling SF
by Hellyer • September 8, 2013 • teams
As the 2013 season comes to a close, and 2014 looms, Audi Cycling p/b Kryki Sports is planning for long term growth in the bay area. To that end, we're looking to grow the 18 – 30 age group across all categories, disciplines, and genders.
While headquartered in Seattle, WA, Audi Cycling has active squads across the nation. We recognize what an amazing scene NorCal is and feel it's important to offer racers an opportunity to help create something very special. Our teams are well organized, well outfitted, and provide racers with access to the best products on the market – Specialized, Shimano, Michelin, Castelli, and First Endurance to name just a few. It goes without saying that we couldn't be happier with our title sponsor, Audi USA, for their love and support the last three seasons. We look forward to our renewed three year partnership.
Not only are we looking for riders who meet our mission to promote the Audi brand through cycling, but those who believe strongly in raising awareness around healthy, balanced lifestyles and the freedom that cycling can provide. Qualities we admire include training hard, racing hard, and a desire to improve one's basic racing skills. We've helped shepherd riders such as Josh Dapice (District RR Champion 35-39), Stephen Langone (Howell Mtn. Challenge), Chris Esparza (San Rafael Twilight Crit), and Patrick Stanko (WA State Best All Around Road Rider).
If you're interested in finding out more, and see if Audi Cycling might be a fit for you, join us on one of our meet the team rides we have coming up this month. The first of two is Saturday September 14th @ 9:30AM starting from the infamous Java Hut in Fairfax, CA. The second is Saturday September 21st @ 9:30AM same place. Both are no drop rides, but don't be surprised if things get a little frisky.
For more information and updates we encourage you to visit the Audi Cycling website, our Facebook page, or email Audi Cycling SF.
We look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!

Why is my baby fighting sleep? I thought it might have been because he's teething or going through a growth spurt. I guess it could still be one of those things but I think a baby's growth spurt wouldn't be lasting quite this long. All I know is that this whole baby fighting sleep thing needs to come to an end. Soon.
I am seriously suffering because of this baby sleep problem. I don't know how many people can sleep soundly through infant crying. I sure can't. Every night for the past two weeks he has been waking up around three am. That is not to mention the coughing I hear during various times of the night. All in all he wakes me up several times each night. Even if he goes back to sleep after just a few minutes it is still interrupting my sleep. So this baby sleep problem is turning into a mommy sleep problem and I just can't stand for it. Two nights ago I decided that I didn't care anymore about sleeping in the same bed as my husband or sleeping most of the night in a more comfortable bed. I just went to bed on the futon in our office. I slept so great that night. I slept better than a baby, that's for sure. I wasn't even sure if Baby B woke up that night but Mr. Spielberg assured me that he did.
Last night I was planning on doing the same thing but I had to cover the night on call for my sick coworker. My pager is extremely loud so usually I don't worry about wearing earplugs because I know I'll hear it. Unfortunately the battery was dead so I had to rely solely on my cell phone. I knew without the earplugs I would still hear my infant crying from anywhere in the house. So I made the decision to sleep upstairs so I could have a little cuddle time with my husband. It was awful. I wish my pager would have just gone off because I was awake anyway. I might as well have been making some money. But it didn't. And today I was almost an hour late to work because I was so tired I just turned off my alarm and kept sleeping.
I guess I'm back to sleeping in the office. I'm past the issue of not sleeping in the same bed as my husband. I would rather get a good night's sleep and come in to work on time than sleep in the same bed as him. If my baby is going to keep fighting sleep then he can cry it out because I'm going to be downstairs with earplugs. Sleeping.

KB switch from liberal talk to sports is all about the money
Over the years, some area baseball fans have been angrier in the fall at local radio than New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Baltimore manager Buck Showalter were with each other Monday night.
The fans have been angry because it has been difficult sometimes to find some World Series games on local radio despite having a high-profile sports station in what is supposedly a sports crazy town.
Now that WWKB-AM 1520 has switched formats from liberal political talk to become ESPN Buffalo or ESPN 1520 (I've heard it called both), that will no longer be a problem.
Tim Wenger, the operations manager for local Entercom stations that include WGR and KB, has confirmed that every baseball game of this year's Fall Classic will be on one of the two sports stations via its association with the radio arm of the 24-hour sports network.
That's one bonus coming from KB becoming the third sports station in town last week, joining WGR and the Cumulus Media station carrying CBS Sports Radio programming, 1270, The Fan.
Due to scheduling conflicts with Buffalo Sabres games, WGR couldn't carry all the World Series games in years past.
Another bonus from the KB shift is getting Colin Cowherd's morning radio show back. "The Herd" departed when WGR began carrying a daily Buffalo Sabres program more than a year ago.
Of course, some people wonder why Western New York needs a third sports station that has led Entercom to give WGR internal competition.
"There is a growing and insatiable appetite for sports programming," said Wenger. "We are constantly moving sports programming around because we have more than we have the amount of time on WGR."
WGR's schedule is loaded with Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres games and daily programming, which now will compete with ESPN 1520. Wenger views ESPN 1520 more like a complement to WGR than a competitor. Besides national play-by-play, the new KB will continue to carry play-by-play of Syracuse University football and basketball, the Buffalo Bisons, the Buffalo Bandits and Niagara University basketball.
"WGR obviously is local centric," said Wenger. "ESPN Radio talks about things that WGR doesn't do like 31 other NFL teams and the NBA. It is a niche sports format from a national perspective. It will embellish WGR and satisfy a need that hasn't been met. We love the ESPN brand. It's hard to beat that."
He also isn't concerned about competing with 1270, The Fan, for the national sports audience because CBS Sports Radio is a relatively new entity that doesn't have the play-by-play components that ESPN has now.
"Whether (1270) was there or not had nothing to do with our decision," said Wenger.
Nor did politics play into the decision, he said.
Some listeners have questioned Entercom's decision to drop the liberal talk format from Stephanie Miller, Bill Press, Ed Schultz and Randi Rhodes that KB had been carrying that is directly opposite the local and national conservative talk opinions it carries on WBEN-AM.
"This decision had nothing to do with politics," said Wenger.
It had more to do with everything that drives radio or just about any media these days: money.
According to the latest Arbitron spring book, KB was the No. 15-rated station in the market with a 1 share of the audience for listeners 12 and over even though it is a powerful 50,000 watt station. That was less than 10 percent of the share of second place WBEN and less than a quarter of what 10th place WGR averages.
Of course, radio stations program for specific demographics, with sports stations like WGR, KB and The Fan looking for men. Entercom expects the format switch to help ESPN 1520 attract more men, but Wenger isn't predicting a big turnaround.
"I don't expect it to grow to WGR levels," said Wenger. "I do expect it to be at least the same as what KB has been getting and think it has the potential to get a 2 or 3 share."
The cost of being associated with ESPN Radio in a bigger way isn't a problem, either. Wenger said Entercom's expenses haven't changed from making the switch.
In other words, Entercom really has nothing to lose.

Patrick has had hiccups for 6 years,with no joy from his doctors..loads of medication and a camera down his throat still no luck,after trying years of medication,we started looking on the internet for advise,the only story that stood out was a story about a british guy that had hiccups for 4 years, finally he found out his hiccups was related to a brain tumour, Patrick has now insisted on an MRI scan which he should get an appointment any day now.....I would like any advice on hiccups,tumours related
Jan 20, 2013 - 4:51 pm
Hi. I had retractable hiccups for 3 years - no other symptons. Finally had an MRI scan and they found a brain tumour the size of a grape. Ended up being diagnosed with a benign haemangioblastoma acting on the 4th ventricle (at the base of my brain near the brain stem). I had an operation for it in September and am now back to work - no complications as of yet. Waiting to get referred to a genetist re a possible link to a genetic disorder called Von Hippel-Lindau syndrome - but this is very unlikely. The stiches (16 of them) don't even show. I wish Patrick good luck. Not sure where you are but I can recommend a neurosurgeon in Oxford. Hope this helps!

This is a nice, smooth Assam. Plenty of nice malty notes (which I love). It's got a great creamy mouthfeel and tastes good with or without sugar. Second and third steeps have definitely vanilla notes. Very good Assam all around.
I did notice a little more of an astringent taste as the tea cooled. I might try steeping it a little less next time.

Fill in a Spreadsheet with Data
POSSIBLY SEEKING A LONG TERM PARTNERSHIP FOR CONTINUOUS PROJECT BASED WORK. The amount of data is quite extensive, which is why I need someone that doesn't mind searching the web to find the correct information. You will be guided through my process of finding & vetting product attribution for various retail categories (i.e. strollers, coffee makers, etc.). This project is finite, but I would love to hire someone I can carry over to be part of my team full time as a virtual assistant. Here's a summary of the job: I'm currently trying to gather all of the product information of all brands of a same category in order to be able to compare everything properly. This is a rough draft and what you will be working with. On said spreadsheet you will be supplied 4 things: • Product Name • Product URL • SKU • Columns of Informations I Need to Compare. The information on various websites is never consistent making it hard to compare from brand to brand. This is where you come in! YOU MUST BE A WIZ AT SEARCHING ONLINE. Just because any given website says the coffee maker has a stay warm function, doesn't mean it's true. Your task is to make absolutely certain that the information on the websites is true. PLEASE NOTE THAT I WILL GUIDE SELECTED CANDIDATES THROUGH A SERIES OF SCREEN FLOWS AND EXAMPLE TESTS... TO ENSURE BEST RESULTS, TRUST, AND THAT WE ARE ON THE SAME PAGE. I will also send you detailed instructions for how I research these things online and what I will accept as a proper source URL, for example. Looking forward to meeting and hopefully working with you. Thank you!

Jack Klugman through the years
Jack Klugman, the prolific, craggy-faced character actor and regular guy who was loved by millions as the messy one in TV's "The Odd Couple" and the crime-fighting coroner in "Quincy, M.E.," died Monday, a son said. He was 90.
Jack Klugman, left, and Tony Randall laugh at a news conference announcing they will reprise their most famous roles as Oscar Madison and Felix Unger, respectively, for a one-night benefit performance of Neil Simon's play, "The Odd Couple," in Beverly Hills, Calif. (Dec. 3, 1992)
Jack Klugman holds an Emmy for his role in "The Odd Couple." The award was presented to Klugman at the 25th Emmy Awards banquet in Los Angeles for outstanding continued performance by an actor in a leading role in a comedy series. (May 20, 1973)
In "It's All Over Now, Baby Bird," an episode in the first season of "The Odd Couple," Felix (Tony Randall) and Oscar (Jack Klugman) differed on a dead parrot's final resting place. (Dec. 3, 1970)
In "The Odd Couple" episode "Scrooge Gets an Oscar," a parody of "A Christmas Carol," Felix (Tony Randall) and Oscar (Jack Klugman) become Charles Dickens characters in a dream after a miserable Oscar refuses to be Ebenezer Scrooge in a children's play. (Dec. 17, 1970)
Jack Klugman as Oscar Madison in "The Odd Couple" on Sept. 17, 1971.
Jack Klugman arrives at the 62nd Annual Tony Awards in New York. Klugman, who made an art of gruffness in TV's "The Odd Couple" and "Quincy, M.E.," has died at the age of 90. (June 15, 2008)

Frazier leads the group to the roof to watch the sunset with other members of the community. In a discussion with Castle, he lists what he thinks are the essentials of the Good Life: health, a minimum of unpleasant labor, the chance to develop talents and abilities, satisfying personal contacts, and relaxation and rest. These are the foundational goals that Walden Two takes for granted. Concretely, they are implemented by the Walden Code, which specifies how people are to interact with each other. The rules that make up the Code range from the trivial to the serious, including such trivialities as "Don't talk to outsiders about the community" and "Never say thank you.'"
Castle tells Frazier that he thinks that exceptional men and women would not be challenged to excel in the Walden Two community. Frazier replies that the traditional means of motivation--competition, personal fame or wealth--are not in operation, but that people are nonetheless motivated to achieve. Castle argues that Walden Two may have achieved the Good Life, but it is not valid without a moral law to support it. Frazier replies that the Good Life is the Good Life, however achieved. Burris steps in to ask about the experimental method that is the backbone of Walden Two's practices: aren't they lacking in good controls? Frazier replies that the criticism is valid, but when the connections between cause and effect are as clear as they are at Walden Two, no controls are necessary.
After this discussion, Burris heads to the gardens to have a smoke. He notes to himself that his interest in cigarettes seems to wane with each day he spends at Walden Two. Steve and Mary, who have been told by Castle that Burris was in the gardens, catch up with him and ask him his opinion of Walden Two. They are thinking of joining. Burris says that everything seems to be in good order; it would be a great place for them to settle. They decide to stay, and thank Burris for his advice. Burris feels jealous of Frazier for having built a community that young people such as Steve and Mary are so excited to join. He begins to wonder if he, too, could live at Walden Two.
The next morning, Castle informs Burris that he thinks the whole thing is a hoax. Walden Two is a success not because of the principles of which Frazer has been telling them but because of Frazier's "personal magnetism." When Burris challenges his assessment, Castle admits that the idea is silly, but he can't help but feel that there is something going on behind the scenes.
At breakfast, Steve and Mary tell the group that they have been interviewed for membership in Walden Two but will have to wait until the afternoon to know if they have been accepted. Rodge and Barbara argue quietly; it is clear that Barbara is not as enthusiastic about Steve and Mary's decision as Rodge is. After breakfast, the group finishes washing the windows of the Walk. Around noon they take a tour of the medical facility, where Mr. Meyerson, Mrs. Meyerson's husband, tells them that doctors at Walden Two have many privileges compared to doctors in the outside world. They can ask for personal checkups at any time and they can implement large-scale preventative measures, such as changes in the food served in the dining rooms or in sanitation practices, when necessary.
Chapter 20 is one of several long chapters, scattered throughout the novel, in which Frazier and Castle battle over the basic tenets of Walden Two. Here, the focus is on defining and achieving the Good Life. As always, Frazier is the radical empiricist: he argues that whatever produces good results is the right thing to do. Castle sticks to the idea that freedom and moral law are good in and of themselves. It has become clear by now that the differences between Castle and Frazier are unresolvable. They have different basic assumptions about what is worthwhile. From here on in, they will simply re-hash much of the same material, Frazier maintaining the positions he has always held and Castle becoming increasingly adamant in his opposition.
On your character summary, you wrote that Barbara Macklin is Rodgers' girlfriend, but they're officially engaged. I think this is a significant detail, because Steve introduces his girlfriend, Mary Grove, informally as "my girl." This shows an immaturity in Steve, whereas Barbara and Rodgers view their relationship seriously.

Chapter 3-5 makes reference to the group sitting down at a picnic table, and while they did initially suppose this was its purpose, the narrator notes that they later observed the tables being used for the outdoor instruction of children. In fact, they had child sized benches, on which only three adults could fit - including Frazier and the "two girlfriends." The rest of the group sat on the grass. Why the courtesy of sitting on a surface should be extended exclusively to females - as if they are due the same respect as their guide, Frasier,... Read more→

Fiddy: Gangster image got in my way
50 Cent has revealed he worked hard to turn around his gangster rapper image as it was getting in the way of his business projects.
The rapper, actor and entrepreneur is teaming up with producer Timbaland to release a new line of headphones, but he told Billboard.com he's tried to change the perception of him that formed after the release of his breakthrough 2003 album - Get Rich or Die Tryin.
Fiddy - real name Curtis Jackson - said: "I became that to the general public. It makes it difficult to be... the guy who should be endorsing major corporations. I've since destroyed that aura of me not being the guy who can endorse products."
50 Cent previously attempted to launch a line of headphones in 2010, but his investment ended in a lawsuit.
The star - whose past business endorsements include Vitamin Water, Street King energy drinks, Reebok and Right Guard - has just unveiled his new headphone brand Street by 50.
He also revealed he is a huge video game fan and is looking to bring out modern versions of some of his favourites.
Fiddy said: "I like fighting games - the old games are exciting to me, like Street Fighter and Outrunner.
"I want to be able to take that and do a newer version of that and bring something to the table, because that's exciting and entertaining."
The rapper's latest album, the first in four years, is also due out in February.

Profile America — Tuesday, February 19th. On this date in 1942, President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order requiring Japanese Americans living along the Pacific Coast to be relocated inland. This order, affected some 77,000 citizens and 43,000 resident aliens. The internment lasted throughout the war, and the camps closed by early 1946. The dislocation caused by the internment order singling out an ancestry group came to be widely regretted, and led to the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, formally apologizing for the action and offering financial restitution. Today in the U.S., there are an estimated 775,000 residents of Japanese ancestry. Profile America is in its 16th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

Placement year with Cummins
Chetan Kotur, an undergraduate from the Department of of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering, gives an insight into his industrial placement year with Cummins
The courses aim to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills to equip them for a career path within the industry.
The courses aim to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills to equip them for a career path within the industry.
In addition to providing knowledge to underpin engineering fundamentals, mathematical modelling and simulation, a strong theme throughout the degrees is group work and design. The MEng is an extended course that allows you to broaden and deepen your knowledge, gain management skills and undertake a substantial individual project.
All our Aeronautical courses cover the basic principles of aerospace technology including aerodynamics, thermodynamics, stress analysis, mechanics, dynamics and control, engineering sciences which underpin avionics, design and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE). The application of these subjects to aircraft and aero-engine design and development is common across all years of the course.
During Year 1, the course matches theory and application by timetabling lectures and tutorials in the morning, followed by applied studies, such as practical instruction, computing and laboratory experiments in the afternoon.
The first two years of the course are common for both MEng and BEng students, allowing BEng students the opportunity to transfer to the MEng at the end of the second year.
|UCAS code
|MEng (Hons) DIS/DIntS
|5 years full-time sandwich
|MEng (Hons)
|4 years full-time
|BEng (Hons) DIS/DIntS
|4 years full-time
|BEng (Hons)
|3 years full-time
This extended course has been developed to allow you to gain a broad-based knowledge of aeronautical engineering plus the chance to specialise in modern engineering disciplines.
In the final year of the MEng, you move away from traditional teaching methods and work alongside research groups in the Department or in Industry. Coupled with the project work, which runs throughout the last two years of the course, this allows you to gain experience of tackling real engineering problems. The course contains an optional language module, together with the possibility of spending part of the final year carrying out project-based work in other European countries.
All students on the Aeronautical courses gain experience of testing and flight procedures during a week long flight test course, involving up to four flights, usually in a Jetstream aircraft.
Students are assessed by a mixture of coursework and written examinations. Design-orientated work is assessed by oral presentation, project work and group assignments. The individual project is assessed by oral and poster presentations and a written report.
The Aeronautical courses are accredited by The Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers.
Students studying Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering degree courses who intend to take up a career in the Armed Forces or Civil Service, may be eligible for financial support under the Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme.
Applicants who demonstrate the potential to meet our entry requirements are invited to an interview which provides an opportunity for you to meet staff, see the Department and the campus.
This course equips you for careers in all branches of the aerospace industry, airline operators, Government research establishments and appropriate branches of the armed forces.
STEMLab is a state-of-the-art laboratory facility arriving for our students in 2017. It forms part of a wider £25M investment in the West Park of our campus, the home of our Engineering Schools, which includes an adjacent student learning and teaching hub.
STEMLab allows us to offer new ways to learn and collaborate, with a 'drop-in' engineering workshop, teaching laboratories, workshops, computer-aided design and rapid prototyping facilities, a design studio and informal learning spaces.
These enhanced facilities will further increase our ability to train and develop skilled graduates that are targeted by major employers from across the world.
Students on the BEng course who meet the required standard at the end of Year 2 will be invited to transfer to the MEng course.
Final year BEng students undertake an individual project and must include a design module in their choice of options. MEng students concentrate on design studies, management and a range of options in Year 3 and may also continue with a language.
Students also participate in a one week flight test course using the Cranfield University Jetstream aircraft.
Options include:
In the final year MEng students continue with a group project in aircraft design and a module in Business Modelling, with optional modules in Semester 1 and carry out an extensive individual research project in Semester 2 which may be undertaken in industry or overseas.
Options include:
† Languages offered are French, German, Spanish and Mandarin.

We are the UK's number one university for engineering placements, with over 30% more students on year-long placements than any other university (2015/16 HESA UG Student Record).
This course provides the option to take a paid year working in industry. Our close links with industrial partners means we are able to provide our students with considerable help in sourcing and securing their placement.
The year in industry is optional but it is strongly encouraged because of the many benefits it can provide. Placement students earn a salary, typically over £16,500 per annum, and many are offered a permanent job with their host company when they graduate.
Companies providing recent placements include Airbus, AgustaWestland, BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Marshall Aerospace and Rolls-Royce.

Is one bigger than the other???
My left boob is way bigger than my right! It sucks :( I bought new bras today & tried them on when I got home & it's so noticeable! They need to make bras with each cup being a different size, seriously!!!
Mine is not bigger than the other but my left boob is is higher up than the right
I totally know what your talking about, I have a gap on my right side lol
Quoting skcissom:
My right one is bigger. It's not too noticabe unless you really look. I have a gap in my bra under my arm on the right side (hopefully that makes sense lol) and my shirts always fall funny.
I'm breastfeeding and for a while I noticed my left breast was bigger than my right, so I started nursing him more on my right and now they look more even.
mine are the same size, but I'm out of shape so they are really jiggly, lol I just bought my first lacy pretty bra, so I've gotta firm those babies up! I'm tired of wearing unsexy full coverage bras just because my boobs don't like to cooperate.

Flagstaff Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick has defeated Republican Jonathan Paton in Arizona's vast Congressional District 1, the Associated Press has concluded.
Kirkpatrick pulled ahead of Paton, of Marana, when thousands of votes from the Navajo Nation were counted overnight. At present, Kirkpatrick has 48.8 percent of the votes, to Paton's 45.3 percent.
Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press canvassed the counties in the vast district and found the 7,354-vote margin is too large for Paton to overcome.
Kirkpatrick said early Wednesday that she was waiting for the AP to declare her the victor before she declared victory.
Late Tuesday night, Paton predicted that he would win, based on where the votes were still left to count. But today, he said his campaign had underestimated the number of ballots yet to count in Apache County, which tends to favor Kirkpatrick.
"The overnight reporting was largely from Apache County, Navajo Nation precincts," said Jennifer Johnson, spokeswoman for Kirkpatrick.
In fact, she said, during the hours of Tuesday night when Paton led Kirkpatrick, little or none of the Navajo Nation had been counted, leaving a false impression of the direction of the race. The two remaining precincts are on the Navajo and White Mountain Apache reservations, she said.
"You're seeing overwhelming support (for Kirkpatrick) from tribal precincts," Johnson said. "We feel very good about where we are."
Kirkpatrick said she is waiting for a major news organization, such as the Associated Press, to call the race before she declares victory. She and her team are at the campaign's Flagstaff office.
Paton noted that there are still thousands of provisional ballots to be counted in Pima County, which favors him, as well as thousands of early ballots.
In all of Pima County — only a small portion of which falls into CD1 — there are about 40,000 provisional ballots and 40,000 early ballots yet to count.
In a statement, Paton said: "I am deeply honored that so many Arizonans cast their ballots for our campaign. After a long night, our race is still too close to call. Currently, there are reports of tens of thousands of uncounted votes in Pima County alone. In our democracy, it is important that every legally cast vote is counted, and we will continue to monitor the results."
The race drew considerable national attention - and spending. Outside groups poured $6.5 million into the race, making it the most expensive congressional campaign in Arizona. The biggest spender was the National Republican Congressional Committee, which spent $2.5 million in the race in what it hoped would become a pickup of an open seat.
U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, the Republican who held the district's seat before redistricting, chose to move to Prescott and run in the new Congressional District 4.
District 1 covers 55,000 square miles - about half the state of Arizona. For the candidate, it's an unforgivingly complex cultural landscape, with suburban voters northwest of Tucson, farmers in Pinal County, miners in the Copper Basin, Mormon towns on the Mogollon Rim, and 12 Indian reservations, including the Navajo Nation.
Voter registration figures give Democrats the advantage in the district, with 38 percent of the registered voters to 31 percent for Republicans and 30 percent independent. But Paton's camp banked on the idea that many of the Democrats are conservatives, some of them Mormon, who might vote for a Republican.
Kirkpatrick presented herself as a moderate Democrat and a child of the district, having grown up in the White Mountains and having spent her adult life in Flagstaff and Sedona.
Her campaign pointed out that Paton was a newcomer to the district, having moved to Marana only recently. They also tried to tie him to his past as a registered lobbyist who did some work for the payday-loan industry.
But Paton presented Kirkpatrick as a spendthrift liberal who would vote lockstep with President Obama. He said he would present a check on Obama's power.
In a speech Tuesday night, Paton called the voters' choice one of a "rubber stamp or a "check-and-balance."
