The BioWare Veterans Who Dared
Came across this little post on Eurogamer. The interview discusses the difficulties of remastering their old work.
It also tells of the atmosphere at BioWare during the development of the original, their work on squashing the numerous bugs. At the end it tells of the chances of working on Baldur's Gate III and why it probably won't be a continuation of the saga if it ever happens.
Still looks like we will be seeing more infinity engine games after they wrap up Baldur's Gate 2 Enhanced. They mentioned the possibility before if any of you remember.
I'll be perfectly honest here: While Wizards have come up with some brilliant stuff over the years, the company itself seems to shoot itself in the foot quite often, especially regarding computer games. They killed off the Planescape franchise, they keep selling their licenses to publishers/developers who doesn't have a clue what to do with it and they keep making weird adjustments that are supposed to make computer RPGs better, but in reality just water down the rules as a whole.
That being said, they do get it right from time to time. Their cooperation with old Interplay (Black Isle/BioWare) gave us some of the best games ever, and the NWN series was pretty good too. It seems most of their bad calls have been made recently, though I have no idea what is causing it.

After years of waiting for bad contracts to expire, followed by a year of waiting for additional superstars to become available, the Knicks have finally shifted into "win now" mode. Without the assets to complete a trade for Chris Paul, interim general manager Glen Grunwald cashed in the cap space he had been hoarding for a run at 2012 free agents and picked up the jewel of the 2011 class, center Tyson Chandler. Putting Chandler between Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony gives New York arguably the best frontcourt in the league – and easily the best to call Madison Square Garden home since Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley and Anthony Mason wore orange and blue. But strengthening the frontcourt significantly weakened the backcourt, as acquiring Chandler meant letting Chauncey Billups go via amnesty waivers. Billups' place will be filled initially by third-year guard Toney Douglas, but the Knicks also added veteran Baron Davis – amnestied by the Cleveland Cavaliers – and he'll probably slide into the starting spot when he's fully recovered from a back injury. The Knicks' bench could be very young, with rookies Iman Shumpert, Jerome Jordan and Josh Harrellson in the rotation.
Mike D'Antoni typically leans very heavily on his starters and plays a short rotation, so it seems safe to assume that the Knicks' key players will log heavy minutes. But don't forget – Stoudemire and Chandler have significant injury histories, and this season's lockout-compressed schedule will be heavy on back-to-backs. Chandler played under 28 mpg in Dallas last season – something in the neighborhood of 30 seems right. Stoudemire and Anthony will probably come in closer to 35, but don't be surprised if STAT gets extra rest during those back-to-back sets. Jordan – a 2009 second-round pick that played overseas last season – could be Chandler's primary backup, while Jared Jeffries will see time at both forward positions. The starting backcourt on Christmas Day will almost certainly be Toney Douglas and Landry Fields, but look for Davis – who is recovering from a bulging disc in his lower back and expected to be sidelined for 2-4 weeks – to take over the starting point guard spot before long. The plan is likely for Davis and Fields to play around 30 minutes a night with Douglas as the third guard and scorer off the bench. Fields will occasionally shift to Anthony's small forward position as well, making room for promising rookie Iman Shumpert in the backcourt. Harrellson may see daylight as a shooting big man, but the Knicks will continue to look for veteran-minimum help; someone like James Posey or Bostjan Nachbar could push Harrellson to the inactive list.
Tyson Chandler: Amar'e Stoudemire's arrival made the Knicks a team worth talking about for the first time in years. Chandler's shows that they're actually going to try playing defense. He should have a significant impact in that regard, both as an upgrade at the center position and a catalyst for team-wide defensive improvement. (Don't believe he can make the Knicks a better-than-average defensive team? Look what he did for Dallas; Jason Kidd, Jason Terry and Dirk Nowitzki aren't exactly stoppers.) Worth noting – even in a season when he was arguably Dallas' second-best player, Chandler didn't post much in the way of fantasy numbers. His best category is rebounding (11.5 rpg last season) but he only blocked 1.1 shots a game.
Jerome Jordan: Jordan got some early rookie of the year buzz based on strong play in Europe and the possibility that he'd be the only natural center on the Knicks roster. Chandler's arrival pushes him to the bench. He'll still get some playing time, as Chandler will probably be limited to 30-35 minutes per game, but don't expect much fantasy production.
Josh Harrellson: The man they call "Jorts" already has a lock on the "human victory cigar" position; his will be the name Knicks fans chant when the team has a big fourth quarter lead. He could actually carve out a role in the rotation as a much-needed outside-shooting big man, but only if Glen Grunwald is unable to land a veteran for that role.
Amar'e Stoudemire: The MVP chants at Madison Square Garden were well-deserved… during the first half of the season. Stoudemire carried the Knicks for the first three months of the 2010-11 season but slowed considerably after the all-star break. The drop in production was partly due to injury, but the arrival of Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups also played a role, disrupting the Knicks offensive chemistry for much of the second half. Assuming he and Melo learn to co-exist, he should return to the ranks of the elite power forwards this season. He doesn't rebound as much as you might like (8.2 rpg last season), but he blocks more shots than you might expect from a player with his defensive reputation (1.9 bpg in 2010-11). There are reports that he's working on adding the three-pointer to his repertoire this season.
Carmelo Anthony: We can debate whether or not Anthony is a true superstar, or whether the Knicks gave up too much in the trade that brought Melo to New York, but you can't question the numbers 'Melo posted in a Knick uniform. The biggest difference between Anthony in Denver and in New York was three-point shooting; Mike D'Antoni freed (encouraged?) 'Melo to shoot from long range, and he responded by canning 53 of 125 in just 27 games as a Knick – as opposed to 42 for 126 in nearly twice as many games as a Nugget. D'Antoni has suggested he'll use Anthony as a point forward in a lot of sets this year, which could mean more assists than usual as well.
Jared Jeffries: The Knicks prize Jeffries for his defense, in particular his ability to defend both forward positions as well as some centers and many guards, but as any Knick fan will tell you, offense is not Jeffries' strong suit. He'll likely get regular playing time backing Anthony, Stoudemire and Chandler, but don't expect much in the way of numbers.
Renaldo Balkman: Balkman returned to the Knicks in the Carmelo Anthony trade, but didn't get much playing time, and probably won't this year either – though he did raise a few eyebrows by posting a game-high 20 points in the Knicks' first preseason matchup.
Chris Hunter: An ex-Golden State Warrior and D-League all-star, Hunter may have a chance to stick with the Knicks if Glen Grunwald is unable to add a veteran to the frontcourt mix. He's regarded as a decent defender and solid pick-and-pop shooter from the four spot, which should make him a good fit for D'Antoni's system.
Toney Douglas: Douglas was brilliant for stretches of last season but struggled badly when called upon to fill in for an injured Chauncey Billups during the Knicks' first-round playoff loss to the Celtics. A shoulder injury – since corrected – may have contributed to his playoff struggles, but the Knicks would probably prefer to use Douglas as a third guard and sixth man than as their starting floor leader. While he'll likely open the season in the starting lineup, look for him to move to a bench role when Baron Davis is healthy.
Baron Davis: Davis can be an electric player when healthy and motivated, but we haven't seen too much "healthy" or "motivated" in recent years. Joining a team that could contend for the Eastern Conference title should help with the latter, but his health is a big question mark. There were reports that Davis would be sidelined for as long as 6-8 weeks due to a disc problem in his lower back… and much speculation that the severity of the injury was being exaggerated to help him get through waivers. Now that he has cleared, there are estimates that he'll be back by early January. With his ability to sink three-pointers off of kick-outs, he should be an excellent fit for D'Antoni's system… so long as he doesn't start jacking threes before Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony get a touch.
Landry Fields: An unheralded second-round draft pick in 2010, Fields won a starting job in training camp and was twice named Eastern Conference rookie of the month. But he struggled badly in the second half and in the playoffs, due to a combination of the rookie wall, the change in Knick personnel at the trade deadline, and the sheer hell that is chasing Ray Allen through screens. He reportedly spent time this summer bulking up a bit, in the hopes that improved conditioning will help him finish the season strong, and working on his three-pointer, particularly from the corner. Fields is an excellent rebounder from the guard spot, which is helpful as neither Stoudemire or Anthony are particularly strong in that department.
Mike Bibby: Based on his performance with Miami in last year's playoffs, it would seem fair to say that Bibby's days as a starter are long gone. He'll get some minutes as a backup point guard and shooter off the bench, but barring an injury, he probably won't play enough to merit fantasy consideration in most formats.
Iman Shumpert: Nominally a point guard at Georgia Tech, Shumpert is likely to see time at both guard spots and even small forward for the Knicks. He has very good size (6-5, 220) for the backcourt and is an excellent athlete, with the potential to develop into a stopper on the perimeter. All indications are that Mike D'Antoni will find Shumpert a regular spot in the rotation; he could emerge as a sneaky source of steals this year.
Bill Walker: Walker has some scoring ability but a bad habit of relying too much on his outside shot rather than attacking the basket. He probably won't get regular minutes unless the Knicks suffer multiple injuries.
Devin Green: A 6-7 swingman that has dominated the D-League on occasion, Green's best shot to stick with the Knicks will be if Glen Grunwald is unable to land a veteran like James Posey for a minimum-salary deal.
Toney Douglas: Douglas' poor playoff performance and the arrival of Baron Davis may scare some people away, but there's still a ton of fantasy value here. Let's assume Douglas is used as a sixth man/bench scorer… he played that role during the second half of last season and led the league in made threes. And even if Davis does push Douglas to the bench – do you really think Baron and his bad back are playing 40 minutes a night?
Tyson Chandler: Davis' bad back is worrisome, especially considering how little rest/rehab time the lockout-shortened season will allow. But I'm more concerned that the New York hype will push Tyson Chandler much farther up draft boards than he deserves. Let's not forget, injuries limited him to 45 and 51 games in 2008 and 2009, and even last season he was limited to under 28 minutes per game. That aside, his impact on the game – challenging shots, ball denial, etc. – isn't well-represented in standard fantasy scoring.

Global IT trade barriers threaten cloud, software providers
An increasing number of countries, particularly those in emerging economic regions, have been erecting trade barriers that have restricted access to lucrative foreign markets for U.S. IT firms, software leaders warned on Wednesday.
The market-access restrictions have taken many forms, including government mandates supporting domestic companies, regulatory hurdles, tariffs and the manipulation of technology standards.
"Protectionism is not new, but the scale and the scope ... is unprecedented," said Robert Holleyman, president and CEO of the Business Software Alliance (BSA), a leading trade group representing the software sector. "The challenge we face is steep. It is particularly challenging in what should otherwise be the fastest-growing markets."
The BSA recently released a report, entitled " Lockout," enumerating various instances of market restrictions in nations such as China, India and Brazil, and has been working to raise awareness of the issue among policymakers.
In that spirit, the BSA convened a panel discussion here on Capitol Hill where Holleyman and other industry representatives argued that lawmakers and administration officials must consider the impediments to global trade that have hindered technology companies and the industries they serve as they hammer out new trade agreements or revise existing ones.
Also on hand was Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas), who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee's subcommittee on trade. Brady professed concern at the numerous instances of digital protectionism the BSA study outlined, warning, for instance, that restrictions on cross-border data flow threaten to roll back the gains in efficiency and computing capacity that cloud computing has achieved.
"I am troubled, as you are, to see that governments in several of these fast-moving markets are coming up with new ways to shut off world- leading IT products and services to promote their own companies," Brady said.
In August 2011, for example, authorities in Indonesia issued a draft amendment to that country's law governing electronic transactions that would require data service providers to establish a physical presence -- including data centers -- in the country. A similar provision described in the BSA report that is under consideration in Vietnam would establish new cross-border restrictions on IT services and require cloud service providers to set up shop within the country.
Alternatively, some countries, including China and India, have been establishing their own laws and policies that seem designed to circumvent global efforts to achieve consensus on open standards.
Chinese authorities, for instance, have undertaken an effort to modernize that country's standards which, in some cases, invites conflict with existing standards promulgated by groups like the International Organization for Standardization or the Internet Engineering Task Force.
"What we're seeing in some countries is actually an intrusion in the standards-setting process," said Cheri McGuire, Symantec's vice president of global government affairs.

The Red Hill Cemetery Commission will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14 at Hodgenville City Hall.
The meeting was scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m., however, City representatives decided to start the meeting early due to the length of the agenda.
The Red Hill Cemetery Commission meets prior to the Hodgenville City Council meeting at 7 p.m.
A comprehensive measure the Kentucky General Assembly enacted last year to curb prescription drug abuse is in need of changes, says one of the lawmakers who helped shape it.
In an interview with The Kentucky Standard last week, Sen. Jimmy Higdon, R-Lebanon, who helped lead efforts to revise House Bill 1 and get it passed in the Senate, said it has been effective, but has had unexpected results.

House Republican Floor Leader Jeff Hoover, R-Jamestown (83rd District), was elected Jan. 8 to a seventh consecutive two-year term as the top GOP leader in the House. Hoover is the longest serving House Republican Floor Leader in Kentucky's history.
After enjoying relatively mild winter weather through most of December, LaRue County's road department crews spread their first loads of salt, about 15 tons, Dec. 29, according to road supervisor Clyde Veirs.
"We spread most of it in the Roanoke-Howardstown-Tonieville areas," Veirs reported to fiscal court magistrates meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville Jan. 8. He said the county still has about 135 tons of salt stored.
A combination of budgetary concerns and a trickle-down effect from Frankfort has resulted in the decision to reduce hours in the LaRue Circuit Clerk's office.
LaRue County ambulance personnel are getting a lift … literally.
Second District U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Bowling Green, was sworn in for a third term last week. He is pictured with Speaker of the House John Boehner and Guthrie's Washington, D.C. staff. He will serve on two committees during the 113th Congress; the Energy & Commerce Committee and the Committee on Education and the Workforce. Congressman Guthrie also serves as assistant whip within the Republican Conference.
U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie, R-Kentucky, said his opposition to a late-night compromise bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives to stave off billions in tax increases was driven by lawmakers' refusal to address the country's spending problem.
Guthrie, who represents the 2nd Congressional District which includes Hardin County, was one of many House Republicans who opposed the measure in a 257-167 vote. He said lawmakers chose a compromise that ignores the country's fiscal troubles by failing to include an emphasis onspending cuts.

What Can I Do With a Pound of Frozen Trout?
Q: I got a pound of frozen trout in my CSA this week. I'm a single lady on a tight budget, so I don't really want to share my one pound of meat for the week! The trout is pretty frozen so I can't separate the fillets. Any ideas or recipes that will use the whole pound? Ideally something that can be frozen afterwards?
Sent by Jessica
Editor: Jessica, if you thaw the trout in the refrigerator, it is safe to separate the amount you want to use and refreeze the rest. Here are the USDA guidelines:
→ Freezing & Food Safety: Refreezing at the USDA website
That being said, I'm sure our readers will have some suggestions for delicious ways to use that trout, whether you cook all of it at once or one fillet at a time.
Readers, do you have any ideas or recipes for cooking trout?
Next question?

WEAC cancels their October convention
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported the state's largest teachers union is canceling their October convention. Parents everywhere in Wisconsin are rejoicing even as the little rugrats will be disappointed by the cancelation of the October vacation days.
I blame the MacIver Institute. WEAC was probably afraid Bill Osmulski will take attendance again, as he did at this convention back in February.

Calls for a blue plaque to be put on the house where Sir Tom Finney was born have gathered pace.
Sir Tom was born at a house in St Michael's Road, Deepdale, Preston, in 1922. The man who now lives in that house came up with the idea as a lasting tribute to the city's finest son.
Tim Davies, 45, bought the house in 1988.
He said a plaque was something he had thought about seven or eight years ago, but it never materialised. He believed it would be a "fitting tribute".
He added: "I just thought, when I saw all the tributes start to pour in, it is a part of Preston's history. It seems to have picked up momentum. I love the whole idea."
Tim, who works for HMRC, didn't know at first the house was Sir Tom's birthplace.
He said: "I bought the house in September 1988. I think it was about the November of that year that Sir Tom was on This is Your Life.
"I had sat down to watch it and they said he had been born in St Michael's Road.
"It didn't register with me that it was my house.
"The next day my colleagues told me and it all started from there."
Tim said: "Over the years, I have had people knock on the door and say did I know Sir Tom was born here?
"I have had children knock on the door who were doing projects at school on Preston or Sir Tom."
Coun Peter Rankin, leader of Preston Council, said: "It's a great idea and we'll make it happen in a month or two.
"Lots of people have had lots of tribute ideas of how to commemorate Sir Tom Finney."
Aidan Turner Bishop, from the Preston and South Ribble Civic Society, welcomed the idea and said a decision would need to be made on where exactly the plaque would go, because Sir Tom moved around.
He said: "I am sure it would be very popular and the Civic Trust would be glad to contribute and enable it to happen."

Think you can hog two seats on the subway at 3 a.m. when it's just you and some drunkard in the car? Think again.
The NYPD is cracking down on subway seat hogs. That's right. Keep your legs off the seat next to you, don't rest your bags and watch those hands or you'll get a ticket.
Just ask Josh Stevens. The Harlem resident got two tickets in two days last month for being a seat hog, according to The New York Post.
"After the second time, I asked the officer, 'Really, what's going on? Why is this happening?' " Stevens told the Post. "And he told me, 'Recently we've been told to write tickets instead of give warnings for this type of thing.' He said they need to hit quotas."
A spokesman for the NYPD told the paper that cops aren't on any particular mission to nab subway seat hogs. The Post reports that 784 summonses for seat hogging were issued as of early December, compared with 760 last year.
MTA rules prevent passengers from taking up multiple seats, whether it's with a bag, a foot or some other body part. But straphangers who find themselves alone in subway cars late at night don't understand why they can't stretch out.
"The officer said it was a danger because people can get robbed on the subway if they fall asleep, which I didn't. Give me a break," Stevens, who's fighting the tickets, told the Post.
Maybe it's not such a bad idea, though, to keep lounging straphangers in check.
Last month, a subway passenger was stabbed to death in front of horrified riders in a dispute with another man over a seat in midtown Manhattan, police said.

text: Red Bulls Academy Teams Combine for Perfect 4-0 Weekend October 2, 201212:41PM EDTFrank Della Femina Previous A 4-0 finish Saturday, matched with a 2-1 win Sunday, helped the Red Bulls' U-13 squad improve on their already impressive start to the season. Saturday's shut-out win came against a strong FC Delco side, but the Red Bulls wasted no time establishing a lead early on. Tyrell Moore opened the Red Bulls' account thanks to a great cross into the box from Zach Ryan. Defender Carlos Alvarado got into the mix as well, picking up his first of the season off a beautifully placed free kick to put New York up 2-0. A few minutes later it was Kian Alberto hitting pay dirt, as he split two defenders after receiving a perfect pass from Zach Ryan to tuck it in past the Delco 'keeper. And finally, the last goal of the match came courtesy of a penalty kick, as Anes Mrkulic guessed correctly and placed the ball into the netting. Sunday's 2-1 win over Albertson required some comeback heroics, as the squad found themselves down early in a 1-0 deficit. The team trailed for most of the game until the 65th minute when Zach Ryan placed a penalty kick into the net to level the score. All tied up with minutes ticking down, it took only five minutes from the time of the game-tying goal for the Red Bulls to claim the game-winner, when Brandon Haughton found Ryan, who calmly placed it into the goal. The Red Bulls' U-14 squad defeated Albertson this past Sunday to remain perfect on the season. The squad took an early lead when forward Kyle Casey registered a hat trick within the first 25 minutes of play. Donte Greer also scored two, while also adding an assist on the day. Izzy Tandir's one goal and two assists helped power the U-18 team to a big 4-1 win over the Montreal Impact. Tandir opened up the scoring in the 32nd minute after receiving a pass from Arun Basuljevic. Not even a minute later, it was Kyle Goodwin finding the back of the net, courtesy of a Tandir set up. Before the half, Alex Muyl buried a penalty kick for his first of the season, as Erik Sa rounded out the scoring in the 60th minute. Topics: Academy Previous

South Holland residents overwhemingly favour on-the-spot fines for people caught spitting or urinating in the street – with police already having powers to do so.
Readers commenting on our Lincolnshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian page on social media site Facebook want to see spitting and urinating in public banned after a London council introduced on-the-spot fines to stamp out the problem.
Waltham Forest has told its enforcement officers to hand out fixed penalty notices in the same way they do for those dropping litter after residents complained about the problem.
When asked if spitting should be banned from Spalding's streets, readers posting messages on Facebook emphatically said "yes."
Diana FitzGerald said: "My sister lives in Waltham Forest and on-the-spot fines work there so why not here?
"There is absolutely no reason to spit."
Rachel Scales said: "It's a disgusting habit and those caught doing it should be fined."
South Holland District Council currently has no power to issue fines for spitting in public, but the police do and a review is ongoing as to whether such power should be given to Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
A Lincolnshire Police spokeswoman said: "Police officers can already issue penalty notices of £80 for spitting and urinating in the street.
"There is a review of PCSO powers and the additional power to issue penalty notices for spitting and urinating in public is being considered."
Coun Malcolm Chandler, chairman of South Holland Licensing Authority, said: "We don't have the power to issue fixed penalty notices for spitting or urinating in public but anything that helps stop any form of anti-social behaviour is right and proper."
Phil Scarlett, president of Spalding and District Chamber of Commerce, said: "I would be delighted to see fines implemented by the district council."

This tea is AMAZING for a dessert tea. It would be an every day/all the time one for me were it not a black tea. One cup a day will have to do.
I don't know if I got an old batch, but this honestly tasted like maybe a bit of orange flower and nothing else. I am very disappointed considering the reviews here and personal reviews from friends. Maybe I will try to order a fresher batch from online.

Blue-green algae grows quickly in water bodies with high nutrient levels such as phosphorus or nitrogen. The agency blooms are appearing in lakes and ponds in southern Wisconsin and will gradually show up in the northern reaches of the state as the summer continues.
DNR officials say people who touch the algae or accidentally ingest water containing it can become sick. Pets that come into contact with it by drinking algae-contaminated water or licking algae from their coats can die. The DNR says if dog owners that notice their pets are lethargic, suffering from vomiting, diarrhea or seizures should contact a veterinarian.

This is a Toyota 4Runner, 2000, 108K miles, V6. When the blower switch is turned on there is an audible restriction in the duct system. Sounds like a sheet of paper or something in the passageway in the dashboard. Higher the fan speed, the deeper the sound. Is there a cabin filter, could this be the cause or some way for debris to enter the ductwork?
Any help, much appreciated.
have the same problem?

It's the kind of story that makes even the most conscientious taxpayers resent letting government spend their money. At the same time state agencies spend millions in public funds to rent offices in private buildings, acres of state-owned office space sit vacant.
According to a Morris News Service article last week, the Georgia Building Authority maintains nearly 4.2 million square feet, almost 875,000 of which are unoccupied - a vacancy rate of 21 percent. Portions or all of 14 state-owned office buildings sit empty, in some cases for years. To add insult to injury, most of these vacancies are located in the pricey office real estate of downtown Atlanta.
One reason why some state agencies rent private offices instead of locating in state-owned buildings is the lack of upkeep in the government properties. Because the Georgia Building Authority hasn't received enough money to fully maintain all of its facilities, the infrastructure and maintenance needs of vacant spaces go unfilled.
Though some legislators have expressed concern about the state's real estate glut for more than a decade, the problem has gone untouched until now. Gov. Sonny Perdue's administration has launched a campaign to either fill empty office space, sell vacant buildings or demolish them if they have deteriorated too much.
Two weeks ago, the first layer of wasted space was unloaded when the building authority voted to sell a vacant building in Decatur to DeKalb County for the appraised value of $11.2 million. Two other buildings located near the Capitol also will be put up for sale.
Portions of the sales proceeds will be used to refurbish other state-owned buildings to make way for the relocation of some agencies from private buildings.
At the same time Perdue staffers are studying state building needs and resources, we hope they also will look into jump starting an effort to decentralize state operations by moving some offices away from Atlanta and into suburban communities or cities elsewhere in Georgia. This process was initiated several years ago but unfortunately has been allowed to go dormant. However, the goals of saving money and sharing government investment with other parts of the state are worth renewed attention.
We are pleased to see someone in state government working to right this long-standing wrong, but it is bittersweet. While government waste is nothing new, it is more than a little disturbing to see such blatant misuse of public money be ignored or tolerated for so long. If taxpayer dollars are thrown away in this kind of overt and flippant manner, few could be blamed for assuming a staggering amount of mismanagement must go on just below the surface.
If state officials ever wonder why some many people have such a cynical or apathetic take toward government, they just have to imagine the view from an empty office in downtown Atlanta.

Charlotte Stein
Deep Desires
Mischief (HarperCollins) / September 27, 2012 / $1.99 digital
Abbie Gough has done her best to escape a violent past. But in the process, she's avoided life, desire and love. So when she sees her equally closed off neighbor, Ivan, performing for her one night through his window, she can't stop looking.
Voyeuristic pleasures become Abbie's lifeline. But as she comes alive and craves more, Ivan backs away. He has his own secrets, the kind that draw her into kinky games and her own shameful desires, while also preventing real intimacy between them. But now she's found someone so special, she's not about to give up easily. And she's willing to do whatever it takes to melt Ivan's cool exterior. Even if captivating him means pushing through her limits to whatever lies beyond.
Charlotte Stein remains one of my favorite erotic authors. Her protagonists possess such an intense sensual connection, regardless of the storyline, that you can't help but be drawn into their lives. Her latest, Deep Desires, reminds me of one of my favorite movies of all time, Hitchcock's 1954 suspense thriller, Rear Window. An erotic, raw Rear Window. In Hitchcock's version, a wheelchair-bound photographer spies on his neighbours from his apartment window and becomes convinced one of them has committed murder. An accident has forced the hero to remain secluded in his apartment, his only interaction with the world at large is done through his apartment window. He watches his neighbors day in and day out, meeting them and getting to know them only in his mind.
Deep Desires builds loosely upon the same premise—that as we watch life go by past our window, only interacting through the safety net placed in front of us, what we see isn't always what we get. Abbie Gough, our heroine, stays to herself, hiding herself beneath shapeless clothing in response to a violent past. She knows her neighbors, but only in passing and as names on their communal mailboxes. One neighbor is particular intrigues her but she is unable to take the steps to make a physical introduction. She does find a way to introduce herself at night, though, when she gazes from her apartment into his and watches him performing erotic acts.
I don't mean to keep spying on him, as he strips out of his clothes. But the thing is, I just don't expect it. No one could expect it...I can see the nearly honeyed hue of his skin, pale from the pathetic weather up here in Darkly Falls, but buttery because of something uniquely him. Though his skin tone isn't the thing that draws my eye. It isn't even the sight of the rough scratch of hair all over his chest and belly, or the thought of how many crunches he had to do before his abs hardened into that exact shape. It's the way he puts his thumb and forefinger to his lips, licks, and then slicks that wetness over one tight nipple.
Abbie finds herself both titillated and disgusted with herself for spying upon her neighbor performing such an intimate act...until she realizes that he knows she's watching.
Your turn now, it says, and I can't help admiring his gall. I admire his lettering, too—as neat as he seems, as ordered, in spite of the ink he's used. I'm fairly certain it's lipstick—so red and garish, glaring in the backwash of that strange light from his apartment—but of course I can't fathom why. I'm just supposed to watch, I think. That's my role: to watch him peel out of his clothes and abuse himself. He has to know that I can't do the same for him in return, no matter how tightly he folds those massive arms or how closely he watches me be this shadow in the window.
Two introverts, striving to make a connection despite their distrustful introverted natures.
Once again, Charlotte Stein takes us out of our comfort zone and dares us to look, taste, and touch the desires that flow through us all.

KELLY SIMM hopes there is still more to come after she helped England to gold in the women's gymnastics team event at Glasgow 2014 tonight.
The 19-year-old produced strong performances in Monday's vault – where she scored 14.600 and today's floor – 12.466 – as the English team held on to claim gold overall with a score of 167.55points.
Simm, from Whiteley, who was joined in the team by Rebecca Downie, Claudia Fragapane, Ruby Harrold and Hannah Whelan, had an anxious wait to see if they had done enough as defending Commonwealth champions Australia were still to compete.
But both the Australians and the Canadians made key mistakes in their routines and as Team England watched on it soon became clear that they had done enough to claim gold, much to Simm's obvious delight.
"To stand up on that podium was just amazing, to be alongside the whole team was an incredible feeling," she said.
"We are all excited about what is to come, we have a few more finals to come here at the Commonwealths and then beyond that we are all on a journey.
"And to have this (gold medal) gives you that bit more confidence to go out and give it your best."
And Simm, a former student of Henry Cort Community College in Fareham, was full of praise for the way the whole team chipped in when called upon, including Downie who shrugged off an ankle problem to complete her beam routine that proved vital.
"We have all done the best we could and put out good performances as a team," she added "As a team we all covered each other's mistakes, we are all so close and were cheering each other on all the way, we just couldn't have done any more."
And after a maiden senior championships that has already yielded a gold medal, Simm is confident the best is still to come.
"This is my first big senior international and the crowd have been amazing, before we started each event and then during and after they were so loud, it was really good.
"Yesterday I did the vault and that went according to plan which was great, and then the floor was ok as well.
"I put my hand down on one tumble but that is a brand new tumble that I have only been working on for a few weeks so it was a bit hit or miss to put it out and it's a great experience for the next one."
PLEASE LEAVE IN FINAL PAR – Commonwealth Games England (CGE) leads and manages the participation of the Team England at the Commonwealth Games and Commonwealth Youth Games. We work with sports, Sponsors and Sport England to support the development of athletes and their sports, and to achieve success at Games-time.

International linkage of the Russian market and the Russian financial crisis: A multivariate GARCH analysis
This study considers the linkage of the Russian equity market to the world market, examining the international transmission of the Russia's 1998 financial crisis utilizing the GARCH-BEKK model proposed by Engle and Kroner [Engle, R.F., Kroner, K.F., 1995. Multivariate simultaneous generalized ARCH. Economet. Theor. 11, 122-150]. We find evidence of direct linkage between the Russian equity market with regards to returns and volatility, while the weakness of the linkage suggests that the Russian equity market was only partially integrated into the world market. At the time of the crisis, evidence of contagion is clear.

A Prince William County, Va., teacher is charged with sending inappropriate, lewd messages to a student.
William Hayes Dignan, 42, of Gainsville, Va., was arrested Friday. Dignan teaches government classes at Stonewall Jackson High School in Manassas. He's also a football coach there.
He's accused of sending what police described as numerous sexually charged emails and text messages to a 16-year-old girl at the school. The messages were allegedly sent in early October.
Dignan is being held on a $15,000 bond.
A second teacher and football coach at Stonewall is also in trouble with the law. After officers searched Dignan's home, they arrested his roommate, Nicholas Brandon Rosser, 31, and charged him with marijuana possession. Rosser was released without having to post bail.

" Author: John Crace / Paperback / 320 Pages / Book is published 2011-09-01 by Constable "
* Prices may differ from that shown
There's a lot of awfully good football writing out there, but there's also a lot of dreary guff - and this tends to take the form of the season-diary. It's easy to stick to the formula and trot out a load of trite narration that's only of interest to die-hard fans of the club in question - and presumably they don't need the blow-by-blow recap, as they were there in the first place.
Happily, this bucks the trend. Probably because it's about more than just a season - it's a kind of dissection of the author's relationship with the club and an introspective look at himself. Crace - a journalist by day - notes early on that he is well-matched to Tottenham, the subjects of this tale during the 2010-11 season. Both have delusions of grandeur and an inflated sense of entitlement only matched by a stunning abilty to self-destruct.
This was the season that didn't fit, though - after decades of underachievement, Spurs had qualified for the Champions League. Crace documents the ups and downs of this campaign with a keen eye for insight and a concise writing style that makes this immensely readable, entertaining stuff. It's not laugh-out-loud funny, but then it doesn't really try to be - it's wry and amusing and engaging, and that's pretty good going.
All in all then, a good buy - diverting rather than engrossing, but it's a well-written account of a crucial season for the club and an interesting look at fandom and what it entails.

ArchLord has been belted at Gaming Nexus, with their review scoring a platry 2.6/10 and this intro:
Dear God, whatever it is I did, I'm sorry and we're even.
You know it is not a good sign when picking up a new game if you have to schedule time to force yourself to sit down and play it. Such is the case with Codemaster's latest MMO, Archlord. Nothing in the manual, or the box art, or the online forums immediately inspired me to install the game and play to my heart's content. Later on, I would come to find that nothing in the actual game would please my heart, either.

Bombardier laying off 1,700
Bombardier plans 1,700 layoffs from its aerospace division as it deals with at tough market and delays in its much-touted CSeries single-aisle plane.
Bombardier plans 1,700 layoffs from its aerospace division as it deals with at tough market and delays in its much-touted CSeries single-aisle plane.
The Montreal-based company disclosed the decision to its workforce an internal memo that says affected employees will be notified in the coming weeks, Bombardier spokeswoman Haley Dunne said Tuesday.
Bombardier Inc. said it needs to preserve cash amid delays in the CSeries commercial jet and Learjet 85 business jet as well as due to tough market conditions.
About 1,100 of 22,200 Bombardier Aerospace employees in Canada are affected by the pending layoffs, about 80 percent in Montreal. In the United States, another 600 of 5,700 positions are affected.
The layoffs represent 6 percent of the workforce at Bombardier Aerospace, one of the company's two main divisions. Bombardier is also one of the world's largest producers of equipment for transit systems.
Bombardier announced earlier this month it is delaying again the in-service launch of its much-touted CSeries single-aisle airline to the second half of 2015. The company had said the plane would be ready for service later this year. Bombardier has 198 firm orders, less than anticipated.
On Monday, Bombardier also said it received 19 percent fewer new orders for all of its commercial and business aircraft last year than in 2012.

When we speak of long term protective styles, the first options that come to mind are usually sew-in weaves, wigs, braids and/or twist hairstyles. Crochet braids are a lesser known, but equally great protective style that works wonderfully for natural, relaxed and transitioning hair.
Crochet braids are a styling technique that involves braiding your hair into a cornrow base. Just like with a sew-in, various braiding patterns are used for different looks – straight back, circular and more. After your hair has been braided, loose (bulk) hair is attached to the cornrows using a latch hook, which is how this style got its name – "crochet braids." You may choose to use either human or synthetic hair but curly textures give the best results because their fullness usually hides the cornrows and attached hair.
There are no chemicals, thread, bonding glue or any other adhesives used to create the style. All of your hair is braided down, making it a full protective style. You are able to wash, condition and moisturize your hair beneath the hair the same way you would with a sew-in weave. Crochet braids generally last about 6-8 weeks with proper care.
Whenever you are ready, the crochet braids are removed by simply unbraiding your hair. If you are interested in seeing exactly how crochet braids are installed, check out this great video tutorial by natural hair vlogger African Export:
One of the advantages to crochet braids is they place less tension on your hair than weaves because no thread or sewing is involved. Also, synthetic hair seems to work well with this style, costing much less than investing in human hair extensions. To remove the style, you simply cut the extensions close to but not through the knot, apply a bit of oil for lubrication, then lightly pull the hair loose from your cornrow. You can see this demonstrated below:
Myself, I have never actually worn crochet braids but Tama of Simply Into My Hair has installed them several times and luckily for you blogged about it each time! Check out all her posts on crochet braids for more information and different styles.
If you have worn crochet braids and have any advice regarding them, please leave a comment below!
Thank you Tama (Simply Into My Hair) and Ashley (FabEllis) for use of your amazing photos, be sure to check out their blogs for additional hair and beauty tips for both relaxed and natural hair respectively!

Yet the sound of people's voices is heard.

Clean links for multiple domains
I have perused the docs and forums for several hours now and have not yet found a solution so I would greatly appreciate some help.
I have a single account with a hosting company. I have purchased multiple domains associated with this single account (and single server). I have been able to successfully install multiple blogs with multiple databases as described here.
I have followed the directions about giving WordPress its own directory here but this only works for one blog or the other. The other blog then has to still have a subdirectory after the domain. In other words if I redirect http://www.exampleone.com/wordpress1 to appear as just http://www.exampleone.com by modifying the htaccess file I can't also figure out how to get http://www.exampletwo.com/wordpress2 to appear as just http://www.exampletwo.com/.
Basically I have everything worked out except for clean URLs for both blogs. What I would ideally like to do is have http://www.exampleone.com/blog1/ appear as the cleaner URL http://www.exampleone.com and http://www.exampletwo.com/blog2/ appear as the cleaner URL http://www.exampletwo.com. This seems like something that should be doable but I have a bare minimum knowledge of coding beyond html. I have also looked into wordpressMu and gone as far as installing Virtual Multiblog but I couldn't get either of these to actually accomplish what I want to do.
I am a graduate student who teaches and would like to use one domain for my personal blog and another for my students so I really need to keep everything for each blog separate.

MIAMI - A park ranger who was bitten by a poisonous rattlesnake last week spoke about the experience on Friday.
Ranger Anthony Terry was bitten by an eastern diamondback rattlesnake while trying to get it out of his home inside Everglades National Park.
Terry has been working with snakes since he was 13 years old, but he says he never encountered what he did last weekend.
"I was holding the bag and as I was dropping the snake in, he caught me right here," Terry said while pointing to the finger where the snake bit him.
The finger is swollen and blistered and Terry says he's lucky to be alive.
"It was just my job to relocate him, and I was in close proximity moving him," he said. "About an hour later, it felt like a hammer that had been heated up. Every time my heart beat, the hammer would hit my hand. And then it got harder and harder until I started hallucinating, so I don't remember most of it," Terry said.
But before he started hallucinating, Terry was able to call Miami-Dade Fire Rescue and told them to have their Venom Unit ready.
"I want to be honest, I thought I was going to die in the hospital," Terry said.
These poisonous snakes are so lethal, you could die within hours of being bitten. But because Terry was treated in time, he survived the ordeal.
As for the snake, it's back in the wild.
When asked if he's go any names for his new friend, Terry smiled and replied, "Yeah, I've got some names for him."

OK, so the problem is to find a place in Hugs that is passed frequently enough, but at which the internal data structures are consistent. How about the start of primPass (called to enter the continuation argument of >>= in the IO monad)? Seems like a safe place to do an IO action. (I don't know why the IO furniture is primitive, but since it's there ...) The top-level loop is presumably another safe place.

Spain won't be a Sproule in the park
Speed machine Ivan Sproule believes playing against mighty Spain tomorrow night will be ample reward for all the hard work he's put in to make it as a professional footballer.
Sproule is expected to get the nod to replace the suspended Keith Gillespie in Las Palmas.
And the former Omagh Town and Institute ace is relishing the prospect of playing against some of the best players in the world.
Spain, after Saturday's convincing win victory over Sweden, have already qualified for next year's finals in Austria and Switzerland but Sproule concedes that will not make the task in hand any easier.
" Even though they've qualified we realise it's going to be the toughest game of the campaign because we don't just expect Spain to qualify - we expect them to go on and win the actual competition," he said.
"They are one of the favourites with world class players through their squad, so that's the type of task we are facing.
"But when you're a professional footballer, work hard throughout your club career and then come away for 10 days with the international team this is the reward you get - playing in huge games like this.
"I'm excited to be playing against these super players. You watch them every week playing in the Premier League or La Liga and see some of the amazing things they do. They are the cream of the crop. They are not just the best players in Europe, they have some of the best players in the world.
"But we've got a couple of our own superstars in our own side - most notably one David Healy - so I'm sure they will not be having it all their own way. When we've got him in the team, we've always got a chance."
Sproule has only made a handful of starts for his country - largely down to Gillespie.
But he certainly isn't complaining and actually concedes Gillespie, who shares the same birthdate - February 18 - is his inspiration.
Sproule said: "It was nice to play against Sweden and I thought I did reasonably well.
"The manager told me he was pleased with my performance.
"But really, I expected to be dropped for the game against Denmark because Keith had a great campaign and deserves his starting place.
"He's a great player and a great servant for his country. I take inspiration from him when I play for Northern Ireland.
" Hopefully it's my time now and I can put in a big performance."

Always a threat to break up a ball game but never a party, Waner had the sharpest bloodshot eyes in baseball. He hit doubles and triples during games and drank them after. It's amazing that he was able to amasse the 3,152 hits with all the partying he did.
One year he announced he was on the wagon, but when his batting average hovered around .250, his manager personally shepherded him to his nearest watering hole. Within a few weeks, he was back over .300. His father wanted him to be a teacher, but he dropped out of college to join San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League, where he compiled batting averages of .369, .356, and .401. In 1926 the Pirates purchased his contract, Paul batting .336 and a league leading 22 triples. The next year, he was joined by his brother Lloyd in the Pirate outfield where they paced Pittsburgh to the 1927 pennant.
Paul received his nickname one day from a frustrated Brooklyn fan who complained: "Them Waners! It's always the little poison on thoid and the big poison on foist!" From then on Paul and Lloyd were Big Poison and Little Poison. Both were speedy outfielders, and Paul possessed perhaps the strongest arm seen in a Pittsburgh outfield until Roberto Clemente arrived.
Paul was not a typical ballplayer of the time. He wrote a comedy skit once that he also appeared in with Heinie Manush and read Seneca in his spare time. He was an avid golfer, becoming so good that he shot in the 70's. He also helped to organized the first National Baseball Players Golf Tournament. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing when he wasn't out partying. One day one of his teammates on the Pirates, Fred Lindstrom, stopped over for a morning golf date. He was told by Waner's wife that he had gone out for a loaf of bread. After waiting for a while, he inquired, "When did he leave for the store?" "Last night". replied Mrs. Waner.
Waner very rarely smiled in his on-field photos! Casey
Stengel once said, "Paul don't smile cause he's too damn tired to smile from being up
all night".
After his retirement Waner found steady employment as a hitting
coach , but his distaste for discipline made him an inappropriate candidate
for managing. Elected to the Hall Of Fame in 1952, he
died August 29, 1965.

Say this much for Brian Burke: He gives good headline.
Whether he talks a better game than he trades will be determined over the next two months, having placed himself in a position for possible ridicule after announcing yesterday morning that he was going after John Tavares and going after the first pick in the National Hockey League draft.
And never mind who gets in his way.
Burke is a runaway train when it comes to draft day accomplishment, only he knows now he can no longer sneak up on anybody. He did that with Chris Pronger. He did that with manoeuvring his way into getting the Sedin twins in Vancouver.
So rather than sneak up, he has decided to speak up. Burke has basically launched an all out assault on the early picks in the draft.
Pick No. 1 is owned by the New York Islanders, with neophyte general manager Garth Snow in charge. The Islanders, for the record, have issues, like a lack of money, a bad building, ownership that may be looking to move the franchise and absolutely no identity.
Who knows how Snow might react to a full-court press from Burke: But from this vantage point, the Islanders have no choice but to utilize the pick. The question is: Do they pick Tavares first or do they settle for the big Swedish defenceman, Victor Hedman?
The Leafs have little to offer the Islanders other than money: Burke might want the first pick but getting it from the Isles seems a long shot at best.
Tampa Bay owns the No. 2 pick. This is where it might get interesting. Tampa is a mess of bad contracts, lack of money, ownership difficulty, and a baby general manager in Brian Lawton.
Tampa wound up next to last in the NHL with Vinny Lecavalier, Martin St. Louis, Steven Stamkos and Ryan Malone. The Lightning needs a defence, some season ticket holders, stronger ownership and to rid themselves of a bad contract or five.
Don't expect the Leafs to go anywhere near Lecavalier, but they might make a pitch for Malone's crappy contract, offer up a player and their first draft pick in exchange, and see what they come away with at second pick.
That's one possibility.
And in the current economy, the only real advantage Burke has is working for a team that doesn't have money issues of any kind.
The betting here is, if Burke could somehow wind up with the second pick, he'd wind up with either Tavares or Matt Duchene of the Brampton Battalion, one of the two best forwards available in this draft. If the Islanders pick first and take Tavares, and the Leafs move into the second spot, they would likely take Duchene.
And here's where the draft machinations get even more interesting. Tavares has not had a great playoffs or second half with the London Knights. The more scouts have watched him, the more doubts about him have emerged. Some wonder about his skating. Some wonder about his three-zone readiness as a hockey player. Some wonder if he has reached his level and not improved. One NHL general manager watched him recently and thought they saw some Jason Spezza in him.
That wasn't said as a compliment.
The Leafs hope that kind of talk continues -- remember, once upon a time, some scouts actually thought Kirk Muller would be a better pro than Mario Lemieux.
If the Leafs can't do business with either of the first two teams, the mystery pick comes at No. 3. Colorado fired its general manager the other day. For now, Pierre Lacroix is in charge, at least until he puts his son, Eric, in charge. Eric is a beginner with a capital B. While the Avalanche need a player at this spot, just what kind of offer the Leafs can make is what the club will be meeting about beginning today. If those strategies aren't already in place, they will be soon.
It was no accident that Burke came out and said what he did yesterday. What seems off the cuff in public is actually well planned out. Without saying so, he was hoping to make people nervous.
"The lottery did not change our plans," Burke said. "We intend as we stated today to go after the top picks. We intend to move up from seven."
And damn, they have a plan and don't seem to care who knows about it.

As part of the Alcoa Campus Partnership Grant, a competition was held among teams of IUP's Safety Sciences students, who performed an accident investigation analysis of a hypothetical tripping accident that occurred at a manufacturing facility.
As part of this competition, students reviewed preliminary accident information collected at the scene of the accident, and conducted mock interviews with managers and employees at the site (played by Alcoa representatives Jamie Mackay and Paul Robinson and IUP professor Jan Wachter).
After the mock interviews were conducted on April 5, 2011, the work teams delivered fully completed causal analysis and accident investigation forms for evaluation. These forms included a complete list of unsafe acts and conditions, a complete list of management system deficiencies related to the accident, and a list of preventive actions (that address the management system deficiencies) and corrective actions (that address the unsafe acts and conditions).
On April 29, 2011, the individual teams gave presentations covering their results. Judges for the competition were Ms. Jamie Mackie, Alcoa Manager, Sustainability and EHS Systems; and IUP Safety Sciences Department representatives Dr. Jan Wachter and Mr. Pat Yorio.
Two teams won the competition. One team consisted of Christina Deitman, Kurt Dinger, and Kiley Walker. The other team consisted of Brant Farmery, Michael Henry, and Jared McCullough. Each team member received $950 for participating in and winning the competition.

18 reviews for Dutch Glow – Buy 1 Get 1 FREE
Dutch Glow is a furniture and wood polish I purchased online weeks ago. I had confidence in this product since the Amish are very dependable when it comes to wood working and I like the fact that it's chemical free. I used it on an old wooden desk my families has had for decades in the family. I was impressed with how this wood restorer was able to bring it back to life. It didn't leave any sticky residue when I was done using it. If you have any discolored, stained or dirty wood surface you'd like to clean then Dutch Glow is a product you can trust.
I was very happy with the time it took for my order to get delivered. This stuff really works. I used Dutch Glow on an oak desk I recently purchased at an auction and it worked like a charm.
Can this be used safely on laminated floors? Please advise to the safety of this product on laminated floors.
I ordered the Dutch Glow on 1/26 & still have not received my order.
Yes, Dutch Glow can be used on Laminated Floors.
NO COMMENT Over 2 months since order placed in US
What are the ingredients in this?
Does this product help eliminate scratches?
I'm from Ontario and there isn't an option for Canada, how can I purchase this product?
Fantastic product! If you're looking to restore any furniture or polish any wood surface, this product is excellent! Will definitely buy more in the future.
Nice on furniture – a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way. I caution using this on floors. My wooden floors became very slick and slippery and my kids have slipped down several times since using it. I didn't over use it, either… I cleaned the floors as usual, then sprayed a light mist and used a dust mop, section by section. It does shine them, but something in the formula created a very slippery surface; like when you overspray with furniture polish, and it gets on a wooden floor, and the floor is highly slippery. So, CAUTION about using on wooden floors. I imagine it's just as bad on a laminate floor.
This stuff is total crap. Overpriced, bad product, they add things you did not order and cheat you.
Tried to order this product and although the website states Canada it won't allow me to put in a Canadian address.
Can Original Dutch Glow Amish Milk be used on unfinished furniture. I stripped an antique veneered bombay dresser many years ago. It needs something to keep the wood from drying out. What will your product do for my bombay dresser?
My kitchen cabinets were covered with cooking residue, and attracting dust. Ugh! This Dutch Glow product easily removed the sludge and left a smooth finish again. Nice job! d. Removes ground in grime without damaging or staining the wood. I'd purchase it again. Love the quality as well as the eco-friendly.
Can this be used on a leather inlay within an old mahogany table, which has been polished many times with regular furniture polishes for wood?
Also, can this product be shipped to a Canadian address? Thank you.
I agree about the additional charges. They ask for your credit card info and seal the deal before showing the final cost. Very deceptive practices. Be careful and read all the fine printl

About MVM
Curtailing the spread of infectious disease traditionally has been accomplished through use of vaccines, antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and public health measures. In the face of challenges like drug-resistant microbes and the emergence of HIV, future answers hinge on progressive research in molecular virology and microbiology.
The University of Pittsburgh has a long and storied history in microbiology. The school was instrumental in the development of the first polio vaccine, the discovery of bacterial pili, and the identification of Legionella pneumophila as the causative agent of Legionnaires' disease. Today, Molecular Virology and Microbiology faculty address a diverse array of contemporary issues relating to the molecular mechanisms governing pathogen-host interactions.
Biomedical research at the school focuses on molecular virology and on the molecular basis for infectious disease. Current investigations include the study of gene expression, mechanisms of persistence and pathogenesis, the host immune response, molecular-based strategies to combat infectious disease, and the use of viruses as vectors for human gene therapy. As a result, students in the program gain a comprehensive interdisciplinary background in modern molecular virology and microbiology with a strong underpinning in molecular biology, immunology, and biochemistry.
Faculty participating in the Molecular Virology and Microbiology program have primary appointments in the School of Medicine Departments of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics; Medicine; Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences; Ophthalmology; and Pathology. Faculty from the Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Public Health also participate, making MVM a truly interdisciplinary program. Because of the diversity of the faculty within this program, facilities are available that range from the basic (oligonucleotide and peptide synthesis; DNA and protein sequencing), to the applied (biosafety level III and transgenic animal facilities), to clinics (such as those available through Pathology; Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences; and the Allegheny County Heath Department's Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic).
The program sponsors and promotes research seminars and annual symposia that represent research at the forefront of modern science. This program also acts as a network to coordinate and promote collaborative basic and clinical advancement of microbiology and virology, enabling transfer of new ideas and technologies among faculty laboratories to the clinical arena.
