Long gone are the days of the one-campus, classroom-based course. Today's MBA students can just as likely be found off-campus; travelling internationally and doing consulting projects for real-life firms.
Lancaster School of Management's full-time MBA – which takes students from Lancaster to London, and the Lake District - is at the forefront of this trend.
Each year, Lancaster's MBA students also travel internationally, visiting a country that's foreign to everyone in the class. This year's class will visit Prague in the Czech Republic for the second consecutive year.
Every location has something unique to offer.
"The best thing about Lancaster is the kind of atmosphere that's generated in the university," says Shaswati Panda, an Indian recent MBA grad who lived in on-campus student accommodation for the duration of her studies.
"The campus is strewn with people from so many different backgrounds and age groups. Everywhere you look there's diversity."
Located in the north of England, Lancaster's 560-acre campus, plays host to undergraduates, MBAs, masters and PhD students from all over the world. 18 nationalities are represented in the current 48-student MBA class. Lancaster's 39,000-strong alumni network extends across 152 countries globally.
"An MBA is an experience, not just a course," Shaswati continues. "When you interact with people from different countries, and on different programs, you get to understand business in a completely different light."

Lake District
Just 30 minutes' drive from the university campus, the picturesque Lake District is the Lancaster MBA's most unique teaching location.
There, MBA students develop their soft skills with team-building activities. And Lancaster's mindful manager module affords students the time to pause for reflection and focus on self-discovery and critical thinking.
Portuguese Lancaster MBA Joaquim Vermelhudo graduated in September 2016. Looking back on his MBA experience, the trips to the Lake District stand out.
"The Lake District is a place that allows you to relax, and to organize your thoughts and ideas," he says. "On the last visit, at the end of the MBA, you have time to reflect upon on the experiences that you've lived, and the next steps in your career."
Shaswati agrees: "Every time we went there it was like a cleansing of the mind," she says.
"It's not just about assignments. It's a time to connect with your classmates, your environment, and your inner self. For MBAs, it's important, because to be able to manage people around you, you need to be able to manage yourself."
While the Lake District is a break from the high-octane life of an MBA, in London, Lancaster MBA students are thrown into the hustle and bustle of one of the world's leading financial centers.
Both based in London, the Lancaster MBA's four-week consultancy challenge and eight-week corporate challenge see students solve real-life problems for real-life firms, like Microsoft, Barclays, and KPMG.
Catherine Isaza, a Colombian recent MBA grad, did her corporate challenge at Barclays, exploring the restructuring of the banks later-life mortgage products.
"It was a wonderful experience, and a really good thing for my resume," she says. "The university also helps you with living costs. They know your budget will be different in London."
Lancaster School of Management covers the difference in accommodation between living in London and Lancaster - giving Catherine the opportunity to experience life in London without paying the high living costs, or the high fees associated with some, even unranked, London-based business schools.
Prague, Czech Republic
The Lancaster MBA – triple-accredited and ranked among the top 50 MBA programs in the world by the Financial Times – is not limited to the UK.
In Prague, MBA students on the international business in context module go on company visits, experience local culture, and network with economic experts and entrepreneurs. Last year's class visited Skoda, Tesco, Amazon, and a local brewery.
When Ghanaian MBA grad Eric Afriyie was considering business school, Lancaster's focus on immersive, experiential learning stood out.
"The modules and the coursework at Lancaster was more practical and hands-on compared to the theoretical approach that I saw from other schools," he says.
"By being in the Czech Republic, we could fully relate to whatever we learnt and experience the culture first-hand. It left a lasting impression, both personally and academically."
Having graduated in late 2016, Eric now wants to continue his career in oil and gas, moving from technical to more generalist managerial roles.
"The Lancaster MBA has helped raise my level of personal awareness which will play a key role in all my future leadership roles," he says.
Shaswati – who in Prague appreciated the exposure to an economy completely different to the UK – graduated in December. She's just started a new job at EY in London; her first job outside her native India.
"When you finish the Lancaster MBA, your mindset changes," she says. "It's helped shape me as a professional. I do not see myself working in the UK without it."

Quadro 2000 occasional error
Ever since driver version 297.03, any newer driver causes my video to crash, only occasionally. Windows 7-64bit just returns with "Video Error", normally will continue to run. The card is PNY flavor Quadro 2000 on a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R (rev. 2.0). I can't get any response from PNY or NVIDIA. please help.
|My System Specs
|10 Jul 2013
Windows 7 Ultimate Retail Box (64-bit installed) + Service Pack 1
My generic advice:
Stay with the none crashing driver then, unless you have a very specific NEED for an update, I try to pass on them, if I am already stable, video card driver revisions don't often make huge general leaps in performance, and a small tweak is not worth crashing headaches, ever.
Of course it helps to be 99.99999% sure it is the driver causing the crash.
|My System Specs
|19 Feb 2016
It now stops with the older driver as well. Video returns to normal, but returns an error.
I'm thinking I should re-seat the card maybe. Most crashes occur after sleep mode, but video returns to normal fairly quickly. It's a small annoyance really
|My System Specs
|30 Mar 2016
Clean/re-seat of card cleared up all problems. I guess after 4 or 5 years of steady use, it's a good idea to re-seat everything.

The Oxford Index for Healthcare IT increased from last quarter, from 94 to 98 in Q4 2015, but still remains below 100, indicating a decrease in demand for healthcare IT consultants.
Results of our study for Q4 2015 are based on 43 healthcare IT managers' responses from across North America.
Oxford Index values above 100 suggest an increase in demand for consultants, and values below 100 suggest a decrease in demand.
For Q4 2015:
- 21 percent of respondents expect an increase in their use of healthcare IT consultants while 23 percent anticipate a decrease.
- 42 percent anticipate no change in their use of healthcare IT consultants, while the remaining 14 percent are unsure
- Epic is the only EMR vendor that is expected to have a boost in demand in Q4 2015, with an index of 117.
- Demand for McKesson consultants is anticipated to be flat.
Demand appears to increase based on hospital bed capacity, where hospitals with 2,000 beds or more reflect a strong boost in demand, while demand for hospitals with 1-499 beds is anticipated to be flat.

Enable Fraps AVI Video Work with Sony Vegas Pro Smoothly
Summary: This article offers a simple workaround to make Fraps .avi files editable in Sony Vegas Pro easily and directly.
Fraps, an universal Windows utility, which not only has the ability to messure the performance of a computer, but also can be widely used for capturing and recording gaming image. But the problem is that the recorded video from Fraps is with the extension of AVI, a container video format, which is not ideal video format for editing on most NLEs. So if you happen to have some Fraps videos at hand and now attempt to edit these Fraps AVI videos on Sony Vegas Pro, you would find it a painful experience for Sony Vegas won't accept Fraps videos at all.
In order to fix these issues, the easy and effective workaround is to transcode Fraps AVI files to a Sony Vegas more friendly MPEG-2 format. In this case, a professional third-party program like Brorsoft Video Converter is desperately required for you! By running it, there's no need to set the codec by yourself: the program has a optimized preset for Sony Vegas. After the conversion, You should then be able to import the new file into Sony Vegas with smooth editing without any trouble.

Convert Fraps recording for Sony Vegas Pro 11/12/13
Step 1: Install and run the Fraps to Sony Vegas converter, and then click the "Add" button to import the .Fraps AVI videos to the program. If you want to merge Fraps AVI clips, just need to check the "Merge into one" box.
Step 2: Click "Format" bar to determine output format. Follow "Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas" and select "MPEG-2(*.mpg)" as the output format. Besides, you can also choose WMV (VC-1) (*.wmv) if you want to get a relatively smaller output file.
Tip: You can adjust video and audio parameters, including the Bitrate of Video and Audio, the Codec of Video and Audio, Video Size, Sample Rate, Frame Rate, Audio Channels, etc., in the Profile Settings.
Step 3: Click "Convert" button to convert Fraps AVI to Sony Vegas Pro.

The Netherlands said Wednesday that Germany must arrest and imprison a Nazi war criminal who was convicted in a Dutch court and has lived freely in the German state of Bavaria for decades.
Klaas Carel Faber, a member of the Nazi SS unit, was sentenced to death by a Dutch court in 1947 for murdering 22 Jews, but escaped prison in 1952 and fled to Bavaria, settling in Ingolstadt.
His sentence was later converted to life in prison.
The Netherlands issued a European arrest warrant for Faber in November and sought his return to Dutch custody but Bavarian officials have so far refused to execute the warrant.
In 1957, a German court dropped all charges against Faber for lack of evidence and Bavarian officials have said the Netherlands must produce new evidence before Faber can be arrested again.
Germany also recognises the citizenship Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler gave to all those serving in the SS, and does not extradite its own citizens.
"A country that refuses to execute a European arrest warrant because the the individual is one of its citizens, must, according to European regulations, execute the sentence," the Dutch justice ministry said in a statement.
"The Dutch Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten wrote to his German counterpart and the justice minister of Bavaria to explain that Klaas Faber should serve his life prison sentence in Germany," the statement added.
Faber is third on the Simon Wiesenthal Centre's list of wanted Nazis.
From 1943 to 1944 he worked at transit camp where famed diarist Anne Frank was held.
His unit killed Dutch civilians deemed "anti-German" in reprisal for resistance attacks against the Nazi occupation.
Faber escaped from the Breda prison in western Netherlands in 1952 with six other former SS men and later worked for the German car maker Audi.

"The truth is, there appears no captivating name who can take the [Scotland] job, never mind those others who would not touch it with a barge-pole." – Graham Spiers
Comment & analysis round-up
Quote of the day: "It won't happen [Fernando Torres to be sold by Liverpool]. If it did, I'd resign… We can only buy one or two big, £20 million players a year. If we want to have money available, then we have to sell some players. We have to sell expensive and buy as cheaply as possible. Aquilani fit would be £20-30 million. We checked with doctors and they said he would be out one, maybe two months. We have lost some time, but I signed the player for five years, not five weeks. We needed to take the risk. When we have spent big, normally it's been very good business. Torres, Mascherano, Reina, Alonso. Keane is a good player but we had to sell him because he was not playing at the level we knew he could play. Ryan [Babel] was signed for the future and we are waiting for his improvement. He has to be more consistent. With the fringe players, we needed to take a gamble on Bosmans and one, two million-pound players. Some of these players have not been good enough for us. It is a risk you have to accept when there is not too much money about." – Rafa Benitez. (The full interview can be read here and here.)
Runner-up: "I will fly to the Balkans to meet with a female doctor who helped [PSV Eindhoven midfielder] Danko Lazovic. She is vague about her methods but I know she massages you using fluid from a placenta. I am going to try. It cannot hurt and, if it helps, it helps. I have been in contact with Arsenal physiotherapists and they have let me do it… A scan showed that my ankle ligament was almost completely torn off where Chiellini caught me but it was not intentional. I was lucky, it could be worse." – Robin van Persie.
Today's overview: It's a mixed bag this Tuesday with articles on Fabio Capello's England, questions over Scotland's future, analysis of the impact of Van Persie's injury, and a host of transfer rumours as the window edges ever closer.
Kevin McCarra questions the wisdom in England not playing an international friendly this week. "[Capello is] conceding that there is little more he can offer in developing his England side. It will not have taken the defeat by Brazil to show him that his hopes rest on a very limited number of key performers who have little scope for further improvement. There is nothing more he can do for, say, Frank Lampard, Gerrard and Terry other than go easy on them."
Looking further down the line, Henry Winter surveys England's potential group at the World Cup. "Looking at the likely pots, and acknowledging that the final six places will be decided only after an evening of immense tension from Sudan to Slovenia tomorrow, it is possible to describe a nightmare draw for England of Holland (pot two), Australia (three) and Ivory Coast (four). This would surely be the Group of Death, of Kewell and Kuyt, of Poms and circumstance… Another draw setting the alarm bells ringing would be Russia (pot two), US (three) and Nigeria (four)."
So George Burley is gone from the Scotland job. But who will step into the hot seat?
Sour-faced, Ewan Murray notes "a bit like the Scotland team and their football, the list of potential managers is hardly awe-inspiring… Sitting at either end of that scale, Walter Smith and Craig Levein are almost certain to be among the association's first ports of call." In a similar fashion, Graham Spiers bemoans that "finding Burley's successor may prove to be a more arduous than glamorous task for the SFA hierarchy. The truth is, there appears no captivating name who can take the job, never mind those others who would not touch it with a barge-pole."
The doom and gloom is continued by Roddy Forsyth. "No matter who succeeds Burley the SFA will not get the one man – a Scot of enormous stature in the game – for whom they would be willing to get down on their knees and beg."
Moving the conversation back onto Burley, Nick Harris has sympathy for the fallen Scotland manager. "Scotland did not become terrible under Burley: they were more than the sum of their parts before him. They overachieved, or rather achieved at the peak of their potential when their best young players were all available and in form. Yet those and others still have potential. The trick is finding the right managerial key to unlock it."
In a standout article using the bans meted out to Sir Alex Ferguson and Diego Maradona as his starting point, Matt Dickinson laments football's "haphazard justice system." "Crime and punishment in football remains an unfathomable mess of contradictions. An offence can be witnessed by billions on television, and replayed frame by condemning frame, but if the referee did not see it at the time, Fifa reserves the right to say it never happened."
With Robin van Persie sidelined for several weeks, Dominic Fifield wonders how Arsenal will cope with the Dutchman's absence. "At first glance Eduardo da Silva might appear a natural replacement… [but] there have been niggling injuries since and a rustiness that has blunted his edge. His time will surely still come but, in the meantime, Wenger has considered utilising Arshavin, the playmaker turned poacher, in the middle of his front trio with pace and trickery from those at his side."
Jim van Wijk comments on the likelihood of Arsenal now buying a striker in the winter. "Arsenal had been linked with a move for Bordeaux forward Marouane Chamakh in the summer and could renew their interest in January should Wenger decide his squad is light in attack. However, pacey youngsters Carlos Vela – who has impressed as an impact player and in the Carling Cup – and London-born Sanchez Watt, who has been involved with the first-team in Europe this season, already provide some cover."
On the injured Dutchman, Sam Wallace delves deeper into the weird placenta treatment which Van Persie believes will speed up his recovery. "In one of the most extraordinary attempts by a footballer to recover from injury, Van Persie travelled to Belgrade yesterday to visit the clinic of Dr Marijana Kovacevic who has built a reputation among European footballers for being something of a miracle healer. She uses massage and electrolysis to treat injuries and has worked with many players from Serbia's national team."
While the Van Persie situation rumbles in the foreground, the Independent talk up the possibility of Cesc Fabregas leaving the Emirates. "Barcelona will offer Yaya Toure and Bojan Krkic to Arsenal in order to clinch the signing of Cesc Fabregas… It has also been reported in Spain that Real Madrid could come in for 22-year-old Fabregas with an offer approaching £50m."
Dominic Fifield speculates of what signings Chelsea may make in the winter transfer window. "Chelsea are more likely to bring in a number of promising, younger players. Daniel Sturridge and Ross Turnbull arrived last summer and could be followed by Middlesbrough's Adam Johnson, who has attracted scouts from Sunderland and Wigan in recent weeks. They have also looked at the Brazil youngster Lucas Piazon, whom they watched score twice for his country's Under-15 side against Bolivia at the weekend and are interested in Everton's Jack Rodwell."
Also investigating the Pensioners' likely moves in the transfer market is Matt Hughes. "Terry believes that Chelsea should begin stockpiling players for forthcoming seasons in case Fifa's original two-window transfer ban is upheld, while the club are planning for the future by considering moves for Adam Johnson, the Middlesbrough winger, and Jack Rodwell, the Everton midfield player."
Injecting the standard red-top sensationalism, John Cross hypes up more marquee name signings writing "Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has got big names on his list including Atletico Madrid striker Sergio Aguero, Benfica winger Angel Di Maria, Bayern Munich superstar Franck Ribery, Everton's versatile midfielder Jack Rodwell and Napoli's Mareck Hamsik." Danny Fullbrook goes one step further though, printing "Chelsea have targeted Spanish pair David Villa and Sergio Ramos in a £50m double deal."
Without any obvious source for basis, Rory Smith claims that Manchester United's "Ben Foster may ask for a short-term loan move in an attempt to improve his chances of remaining in Fabio Capello's England squad for the World Cup finals." Ian Herbert also picks up on the Foster-loan move story, but the scribe struggles to see where the keeper could go. "Only perhaps Burnley's Peter Jensen and Hull City's Boaz Myhill look remotely vulnerable to a loan acquisition in January with most clubs in possession of proven goalkeepers. Dropping down to the Championship for game time is not an option, as it would leave Foster below West Ham United's Rob Green and Blackburn's Paul Robinson in the England pecking order."
The Sun's Mark Irwin believes he's location Ben Foster's new home. "Spurs are lining up a £6million New Year bid for England keeper Ben Foster… And Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is in the market for a new keeper after Carlo Cudicini was seriously injured in a bike accident last week."
And there are more loan moves tauted for second-rate Manchester United players, as the Daily Mail bleats "Fiorentina are lining up a loan bid for Manchester United winger Nani."
In a headline which appears structured to gain as many online clicks as possible, the Daily Mail fart "Tottenham, Newcastle and Portsmouth battle to sign Raul Tamudo as Wigan drop out of race for the Spain striker." And adopting the same how-many-clubs-can-we-name-at-once strategy, Christopher Davies shouts "Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool set for battle to sign Palermo defender Simon Kjaer."
In the rest of the gossip, Andrew Dillon scribbles "Steve Bruce has launched a £5million bid for David Wheater," and The Sun bark "Spurs have taken Norway's hottest prospect Havard Nielsen on trial."

Great article from IMTJ (International Medical Travel Journal) about medical travel facilitators
Armenia is quickly making a name for itself as a European hub for professional, yet affordable surgeries and treatments. Armenia is known for the quality and skill of its orthodontists, as well as plastic surgeons; and is famous for its natural beauty, ancient culture, and the warmth of the local population.
Armenia has a high level of medical resources at its disposal despite its small size. The capital of Yerevan is full of new-age medical clinics filled with capable and experienced staff. We have painstakingly sifted through all of these clinics and doctors to choose the best of the best to partner with us. It is important to us that your experience be as pleasant as possible.Each year, the number of Europeans and North-Americans travelling to Armenia for dental procedures is growing.
"The surgery went very well, better than I even imagined it. The surgeon who operated was very well experienced and educated along with his team of nurses and anesthesiologist who made sure the procedure was extremely safe and even pleasant." – Sasnuhi, California, USA
"It was reassuring that they placed a lot of focus on making sure I was fully healed before releasing me." – Paula Der Matoian, California, USA
"The doctor was very professional, efficient and quick" – Gunter Reif, Austria"
"My experience with GetTreated organising my rhinoplasty in Armenia, followed by 10 days of rest at a spa nestled in the Armenian highlands was unforgettable. Hassle-free, friendly and efficient service, and my new nose? Just love it – thanks guys!" – Patrick, Montreal Canada

Win or Lose

Maybe you could write back and tell me where fans "were painted in a negative light" ...
As that first, abruptly posted Q & A suggests, we have heard today from a few prickly fans who evidently feel it is inappropriate to speak honestly in the Church of the Hardball. Why, here's another!
Maybe you read the piece online and therefore don't realize that it appeared in the Baseball Issue of our magazine. It would have been, uh, stupid to write about football and basketball in the Baseball Issue!
Any other suggestions?
"One eyed cur with mange," interesting comment. Do you own any herding dogs? What breed? Do you trial?
Nope, I do not own a dog of any kind. My mother and sisters have enough dogs to run the Iditarod, and I figure that's enough to cover my share.
(Seriously, thanks for the kind words.)
I assume the uniform thing got started with the player-managers and just became a custom. But I think it's silly.
Come of think of it -- THAT'S when they ruined baseball.
Here's a question to debate among yourselves: How long will it be before the team gets an owner? With the rush for season tickets, maybe the MLB cartel will decide they LIKE owning the Nats.
That should improve our prospects -- as the next comment points out. (Notice how seamlessly I weave these things together ...)
But it invites ME to make the point, which is that Greater Washington is now one of the biggest Metropolitan areas in America. How big? Who do I look like -- the Census Bureau? But big enough to put 3 million fannies per year in the stands, year in and year out -- IF we want to.
That's the big if. If the Nats draw close to 3 million year in and year out, and if Mr. Angelos of Baltimore gives us a nice allowance from his TV empire, there is no reason why the Nats should not be frequent visitors to the post-season.
Well, ONE reason. Incompetent management. That would be par for the course.
But let's hope not.
Or how about The Federalists -- they could play in powdered wigs.
I'm sure Mr. Angelos is a devoted family man, a pillar of his community, whatever. But let's be honest: He hasn't exactly, um, burnished the franchise up there.
DRAY-luh would be the correct way to pronounce it if anyone in my family knew any German. But we don't.
DRAYL would be correct if you were applying rules of English. Which we don't.
So we say DRAY-lee.
Years ago I was a sportswriter. I helped cover the first USFL game in Denver, in which the Denver Something-or-others played the New Jersey Generals. On the first play of the game, a dull off-tackle play, a New Jersey linebacker filled the hole and laid out the runner with a sternum-busting tackle.
My friend Michael Knisley, noted philanthropist and wit, said, "Kid, welcome to the USFL."
Do you suppose anything useful has ever been said during a mound conference? I mean, besides: "Walk one more and you're going to be sweeping the stands in Albuquerque?"
Teach her to keep score, too. I pretty much knew I was going to end up proposing to my wife when I discovered she knew how to keep a baseball scorecard.
Maybe the water-repellent tarp they use during rain delays could be made from the same petroleum-based synthetics worn by Gary Carter and Andre Dawson
But every Abraham had a favorite among all his wives. So, deep in your heart of hearts, you will be one or the other. Just go with it. And realize that THE YANKEES DON'T NEED YOU!
At Griffith Stadium, as I said in the piece, the center field wall took a sudden jog inward to avoid a building. I think it would be terrific if the new stadium recreated that! Why not? The best thing about the best park in baseball (Fenway -- don't even TRY to argue) is the weird wall, which is a function of the urban geography. Weird is good.
Nats fans: Do NOT yell the "O."
But if there is no favoritism in the seat assignments, it will be the first time in the history of the game. True fact: Abraham Lincoln showed up at the last minute for the first game ever, and Abner Doubleday comped him to four seats behind home plate.
Various persons will very likely be milling about outside the park offering to sell unused tickets to you ...
Maybe we should leave it there, folks. Thanks for the great chat, and see you at the ballpark. I'll be the one with the four kids screaming and kicking the back of your seat.

Elected Officials
Former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) and Presidential Candidate
"We're going to take full advantage of our oil, our coal, our natural gas, our nuclear, our renewables… I know you're particularly aware of nuclear as well and recognize America must have a reliable source of domestically produced uranium, enriched uranium. We need to make sure that Piketon has the most modern technology so that we can provide that source of security for our great country."
"Romney highlights energy in southern Ohio"
October 13, 2012
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) and Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-Kan.)
"Temporarily lower energy prices driven by wind-power's negative pricing will cripple clean-coal and nuclear-power companies. But running coal and nuclear out of business is not good for the U.S. economy. There is no way a country like this one—which uses 20 percent to 25 percent of all the electricity in the world—can operate with generators that turn only when the wind blows."
"Puff, the Magic Drag on the Economy"
September 19, 2012
Former Gov. Mitt Romney (R-Mass.) and Presidential Candidate
"By 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables."
Remarks at the 2012 Republican National Convention in Tampa Bay, Fla.
August 30, 2012
Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.)
"When you look at much of the industrialized world today, the technology and the safety record of nuclear energy is one that I think Hoosiers ought to be willing to look at, in addition to developing all of our traditional sources of energy and our renewable sources of energy."
"Pence endorses nuclear power for Indiana"
August 30, 2012
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney
"This President believes we need to embrace all forms of domestic energy production, including oil, including natural gas, including nuclear energy–which, as you know, this administration has invested in for the first time in 30 years–including renewables like wind and solar."
White House Press Briefing by Press Secretary Jay Carney
August 23, 2012
Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)
"Finding common sense solutions to our energy needs is an area where the federal government can play an important leadership role—one that transcends party lines. A renewed nuclear energy industry in this country means clean energy into the future and opportunities for American economic growth, with the potential to create thousands of good-paying American jobs."
Statement on release of New Millennium Nuclear Energy Partnership report: Strategy for the Future of Nuclear Energy
June 28, 2012
S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley (R)
"Deployment of SMRs [small modular reactors] at SRS [Savannah River Site] would offer South Carolina a unique opportunity to become a leader in the next generation of nuclear reactor manufacturing."
"Governor Nikki Haley Highlights Small Nuclear Reactor Technology Opportunities At SRS"
June 19, 2012
Mo. Gov. Jay Nixon (D)
"Designing, developing and commercializing next-generation nuclear technology will create good jobs for Missourians, expand our global exports, and ensure that Missouri has affordable, abundant, safe and reliable power for generations to come. Missouri offers Westinghouse an outstanding nuclear operator and workforce, world-class research universities, a strong foothold in the nuclear industry, and a central location to develop a worldwide manufacturing base. As Governor, I'm fully committed to working with Westinghouse, Ameren Missouri and all our electric energy providers to take advantage of this unprecedented opportunity."
"Creating Jobs Through Energy Independence"
April 24, 2012
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
"We worked for years to see these reactors approved and I'm very pleased this long-sought goal has finally been achieved. The construction of two new reactors will be an over $10 billion dollar project and represents one of the largest investments in South Carolina history. The renaissance in American nuclear energy has begun. And as long-time advocate for nuclear energy, I could not be more pleased to see South Carolina at the forefront to this revival."
Statement on NRC approval of Summer 3 and 4 construction permit
March 30, 2012
Opinion Leaders
Mark J. Perry, University of Michigan economics professor
"If we hope to maintain the security of our energy supply, we will need to expand the use of other energy sources, including nuclear power, which is also environmentally attractive and affordable."
"Natural gas and nuclear power need to share the lead in power generation for the future"
September 26, 2012
E.J. McMahon, Manhattan Institute senior fellow
"There's no debating Indian Point's role in meeting energy needs. The two reactors now generate 30 percent of the downstate region's "baseload" electricity—the minimum required on any given day for the needs of homes, businesses and public services, including the subway and rail transit systems."
"McMahon: No cheap or easy way to replace Indian Point nuclear power plant"
September 19, 2012
Jim Rogers, Duke Energy CEO
"We need to work even harder toward a future of affordable, reliable and cleaner energy. That means we need to invest heavily in new zero-emission power sources, like new nuclear, wind and solar projects, as well as new technologies, like electric vehicles."
Remarks at the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.
Sept. 6, 2012
Matt Bennett, Third Way senior vice president of public affairs
"When private sector and government leaders get together and agree on a path forward, policymakers notice. This report marks one of those too rare times in Washington where there is agreement on that path. While it's no secret nuclear energy has struggled in the face of record-low natural gas prices and Fukushima, we still need it to provide a hedge against volatile fuel prices, reduce pollution, and maintain our global leadership on nuclear safety in markets like India and China. This report helps accomplish that."

My wife and I were equally HIGHLY disappointed with the Dexter writers. I did find this very well written alternative option. Should have hired this guy: My Alternate Ending: Deb stays alive a little while longer and she still regrets killing LaGuerta so much so that she commits suicide but not before explaining everything about Dexter in a suicide note. (She would have to somehow prove that she wasn't lying, but it would be the writer's job to figure that out). Dexter discovers the note and goes on the run. He would be the most wanted man in america at that point. He delivers the exact same message to Hannah and Harrison [(the one he gave them before he chucked his phone in the water)-(he would have to contact Hannah before the news went viral)]. So now Dexter finds his new home and job, the lumberjack thing works. BUT, after receiving the news that Dexter had been found out she starts to resent him for leaving her with his kid in a foreign country with no plan and barely any money. One day Hannah catches Harrison with a dead rabbit and she knows that he is the same as Dexter so she trains Harrison and teaches him how to kill without being caught. She would put her own twist on the way he killed, maybe by teaching him about the plants she used to use. And Harrison knows about his dad; with the persuasion from Hannah, Harrison finds himself hating Dexter for leaving him and Hannah when he could have just fled to Argentina but Dexter chose not to. The final minute of the show would play out like this: *Hannah has passed away due to illness and age*. We find a young man sitting alone outside of a cabin eating an oreo cookie, he walks into the cabin lined wall to wall with plastic. On one of the walls is a picture of a 4 year old Harrison along with a picture of Hannah. In the centre of the cabin is a table with an unconscious, aged man wrapped up in plastic….fully constricted. The man regains consciousness and finds himself looking into a pair of two dark and unforgiving eyes….The old man could have sworn that he was looking into the past…seeing a son which he abandoned…the final line would be Harrison saying "Hello dad". Harrison looks into the camera with the same creepy look that only a psychopath could achieve and the screen goes black…. But I would also have Dexter (before Dexter is killed) attending the funeral of his long time and only true friend Bautista…watching from afar, bidding his final farewell to his friend. Quinn is Deputy Chief, Matsuka is working for the FBI as the head of the forensic department. And i would have Cody (Dexter's stepson) working for Miami metro as sergeant (He would be about 30-40 years old). MEGA SURPRISE TWIST would be that Astor would be married to Harrison!!! (Yes, there is about a 15 year age gap but Astor is a single alcoholic) Astor would have no clue that its Harrison because he would have changed his identity to be with her. Why would Harrison be with Astor? He's a psychopath. i think it would have taken another episode after they established Dexter being in exile. It would be an episode filled with familiar faces living their lives with the addition of an unrecognizable Harrison. Harrison could even work for Miami Metro as the blood spatter analyst…who knows. the possibilities would be endless. I feel like my ending is better for me and it literally took 30 mins to make up out of thin air,,, it doesn't even feel like Dexter is over. Not for me anyways..

College player's hitting streak halted at 56
College player's hitting streak halted at 56
Wittels, a junior shortstop, went 0-for-4 with an RBI in the game, a season-opening 10-2 loss for FIU. He saw a total of nine pitches during the game and finished two shy of the Division I record, 58 games, set in 1987 by Oklahoma State's Robin Ventura. The longest hitting streak in NCAA history is 60 games, set between 2001-03 by Damian Constantino, playing for Division III Salve Regina University in Rhode Island.
Wittels' streak lasted nearly a calendar year, beginning on Feb. 19, 2010, in a 10-3 win over the University of Miami. He recorded a hit in every game in which he appeared last season and posted a .412 average. For his efforts, he was named Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year; he was the preseason pick this season to repeat the honor.
Wittels' playing status was in question prior to the game, due to allegations in the Bahamas that he sexually assaulted a 17-year-old girl in December. FIU officials decided earlier this week to not take any action against Wittles. Charges against him are pending in the Bahamas, and officials there do not expect to begin legal proceedings until April.

Just not what i was promised

Vehicle2013 Nissan Sentra SV 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl CVT)
ReviewI bought this car a month ago and when I first bought, I loved it. Well after many tanks of gas and 13 trips to the dealership, (in one month I might add) I ended up getting rid of it. I live at a mile high so lower gas mileage is to be expected but I was getting the gas mileage of a gas guzzling SUV not a economy car. I bought the SV model sentra and was getting only 240 miles to a tank. Then it started idling rough. It would shake so hard my kids would notice when the passenger seat would shake. I ended up with a 2013 Altima and so far Im in love. I have only had the Alitma 24 hours and im hoping this car will be much better. Stay tuned.........

This was a big week for the 49ers and their fans as they got off to a good start by defeating the Los Angeles Rams 28-0 on Monday Night Football. (The Grueling Truth's recap of that game can be read here)
Todd Gurley was held to just 47 yards and San Francisco had a stifling defense as they completely shut the Rams down. Offensively, it was a balanced attack and it gave the 49ers something to build on as they get ready for their matchup against Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers this Sunday.
Join Matt Andruscavage and former 49ers running back Dexter Carter as they break down the Rams game and discuss what the 49ers need to do in order to beat the Panthers on Sunday.

Prince Harry 'had a fling with Burberry model while wooing new girlfriend Meghan Markle'
PRINCE Harry was secretly dating a stunning model while wooing new girlfriend Meghan Markle – and they look identical.
He allegedly took Brit Burberry model Sarah Ann Macklin, 27, on a string of dates after blitzing the 27-year-old with flirty texts.
Meanwhile the Royal was busy charming US telly star Meghan – tipped as his future wife – it is claimed.
Pals of Sarah Ann, who looks strikingly like Meghan, say his current lover had no idea she was allegedly two-timed.
"Their fling is an open secret among her friends"Source
It is also said to have left Sarah Ann's ex partner – model David Gandy – livid.
A source said: "Their fling is an open secret among her friends. Gandy knew that Harry was pursuing her and tried to get her back.
"At one point she had the country's most famous male model and a prince vying for her affection. The novelty was not lost on her."
Another source said: "Harry made a beeline for her. She was very flattered."
Prince Harry is hoping to introduce new love Meghan to William and Kate within weeks.
Meghan, 35, divorced movie producer Trevor Engelson in 2013.

The foremost reason it gets seen as a virus is that I've used the no cd crack. I can also make this into a trainer but I thought it would be easier to make it this way (no need to enable everytime). Plus trainers often get seen as virusses too.

The Tomb of the Unknowns, or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers, at Arlington National Cemetery is a simple white marble sarcophagus (coffin) that holds powerful symbolic meaning.

Like the walls of the Lincoln Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknowns is constructed with bright white marble from the Yule Quarry in Colorado. Neoclassical pilasters, wreaths, and Grecian figures decorate the marble panels. One panel is inscribed: HERE RESTS IN HONORED GLORY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER KNOWN BUT TO GOD.

Who Built the Tomb of the Unknowns?

 Architect: Lorimer Rich

 Fabricators: Craftsmen in Proctor, Vermont

 Sculptor: Thomas Hudson Jones

What Do the 3 Greek Figures Symbolize?

Peace

Victory

Valor

What Do the 6 Wreaths Symbolize?
The six wreaths represent the six major battle campaigns of World War I:

Chateau-Terrie

Ardennes

Oisiu-Eisue

Meusse-Argonne

Belleauwood

Sommes

Timeline

 November 11, 1921: An unidentified soldier killed in France during World War I was buried beneath a marble slab at Arlington National Cemetery.

 November 11, 1932: A sarcophagus was installed over the unknown soldier's grave.

 May 30, 1958: An unknown soldier from World War II and an unknown soldier from the Korean War were buried beneath marble slabs set in the plaza beside the sarcophagus.

 May 28, 1984: A soldier from the Vietnam War was also buried beneath a marble slab set in the plaza beside the sarcophagus.

 May 14, 1998: The grave of the Vietnam soldier was exhumed. DNA testing revealed the soldier's identity as First Lieutenant Michael Blassie, United States Air Force. Now that he was longer unknown, Michael Blassie was interred elsewhere.

Shortly after discovering the identity of Michael Blassie, the word Vietnam was removed from his former gravesite. Today the stone reads: Honoring and Keeping Faith with America's Missing Servicemen.

Although the Tomb of the Unknowns holds the remains of only a few individuals, the site honors the many unidentified men and women who gave their lives in armed conflict. Moreover, the Tomb of the Unknowns underscores America's commitment to account for all service members who are missing.

The Civil War Unknowns Monument (see larger view) was the first Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery. The Civil War Monument is:

A memorial to the unknown soldiers who died in the Civil War.

The mass grave of over 2,000 soldiers, both Union and Confederate.

One of the oldest Arlington Cemetery monuments, dedicated in September 1866.

The first memorial at Arlington Cemetery for unidentified soldiers who had died in battle.

A focus of remembrance since the first Decoration Day, or Memorial Day, when spring flowers are used to decorate the graves of fallen soldiers. Veterans Day honors all soldiers, living and dead.

Inscription Carved in Stone:

Beneath this stone
repose the bones of two thousand one hundred and eleven unknown soldiers
gathered after the war
from the fields of Bull Run, and the route to the Rappahanock,
their remains could not be identified. But their names and deaths are
recorded in the archives of their country, and its grateful citizens
honor them as of their noble army of martyrs. May they rest in peace!
September. A. D. 1866.

Task 3
Introduce character 1 - the worker
As the arena doors open the smell of stale lager and sweat rises. Crowds, already gathered in little pockets, talk amongst themselves as an undercurrent of electricity buzzes through the room. The lights have not yet been dimmed for the main act; the stage clearly visible even from the back waits for its performers.
Amidst jeers and laughter, a man takes the stage to complete the sound-check. He eyes the audience nervously and bends to secure cables. Looking as though he wished the ground would swallow him, his hands tremble under the pressure of being watched in his task. His checks done, he stands for the bit he dreads the most. Clearing his throat he taps the mike and timidly calls "testing . . . 1, 2,3 . . . testing." Once again, the crowd cheers and laughs . . . .

LARGO, Fla. - A 38-year-old man was arrested after he called 911 and told a dispatcher he was surrounded by police officers and needed help, authorities said.
Shelton, who officers said appeared intoxicated, then called 911 to report he was "surrounded by Largo police," according to an arrest affidavit.
But the best part, is how the police responded:
"Our officers were standing there scratching their heads. He called, standing there in their presence," Largo Sgt. Melanie Holley said. "It's one of our 'truth is stranger than fiction' cases."
I hope they at least fine him the $1,000, and maybe a few days in the clink. All though, I'm sure he won't spend any time in jail. But the fine should be the max.

A PRISONER who has been on the run from jail for two years has been recaptured.
Michael Aspinall disappeared from Kirkham Prison as he served a sentence for making threats to kill.
The 31-year-old had been given home leave and when he returned to the prison was under the influence of alcohol and was told he might lose privileges in future.
It was after that he escaped and went on the run.
Aspinall was re-captured in Blackpool and appeared before the town's magistrates who sent him to be re-sentenced at Preston Crown Court on January 31.
He was remanded in custody.

text: just to share this with u guys. took my car in for a service, all was well. i told them about the whining noise and the lack of power compared to normal coming from the engine, i was hoping it wasn't the turbo! picked it up at 5pm yesterday, i've had a performance exhaust fitted. cutting a long story short the guy 'cleverly' explained they could not find a fault and the noise was probably due to the exhaust as the air flow is improved and the engine wasn't able to cope with it. he explained it so well that it got me and my cousin thinking maybe there is something wrong with my exhaust, which to start with i didn't think it was as it's only a few months old. i wasn't clearly satisfied so today i took it to a corner garage and literally within 5 minutes he diagnosed the problem. he got my car up on the ramp and found a split/cut in the pipe connected to the intercooler. i thought audi technicians had years and years of experience, but all they could do was blame it on my exhaust. idiots!!

Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul earned a standing ovation at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) Friday, with members of the conservative activist crowd chanting "President Paul" at one point.
Paul made clear overtures to a presidential run. The video of his speech is below. Here are some highlights:
"Your rights are in your DNA and the government, quite frankly, can get over it."
"I say that your phone records are yours! I say that the phone records of law-abiding citizens are none of their damn business."
"Hillary's war made us less safe. … As Hillary was declaring victory in Libya, Ambassador Stevens was begging for more security. … I believe that Hillary Clinton's abdication of responsibility, her refusal to provide an adequate defense for Benghazi, her dereliction of duty, should forever preclude her from higher office. It's time for Hillary Clinton to permanently retire."

A recent news story cited Ghana's Deputy Superintendent of Police, David Selom Hukportie, as bemoaning the formidable challenges he faces trying to destroy marijuana farms across the country. Mr. Hukportie, who also heads the Drug Law Enforcement Unit of the Ghana Police Service, said the effort was like "trying to kill a swarm of flies with one's bare hands".
This simply implies that he feel that the "war against marijuana seems to be getting out of hand." Nonetheless, Mr. Hukportie said that his forces must continue conducting raids to destroy the marijuana farms and arrest the growers. The story, appearing on 15 December 2015, is captioned, somewhat facetiously, "Ghana Police says it's up to the task in drug war."
The government of Ghana - as well as those of Benin and Senegal - have recently taken a progressive approach to drugs in line with the AU Common African Position for UNGASS 2016. The AU Common African Position for UNGASS 2016, adopted in Addis Ababa on 13-17 April 2015, emphasises harm reduction over punitive measures against drug users. Drug policies which "focus entirely or disproportionately in law enforcement, incarceration, punishment and repression", the AU stated, have failed to eradicate supply, demand and harm caused by illicit drugs in Africa.
They have instead led to "serious unintended consequences" that often disproportionately affect the poor and the young. However, the spirit of the AU Common Position is yet to be reflected in Ghana's existing laws, and in the practices of its law enforcement agencies. This might soon change, however. Ghana is currently reviewing its drug law, and it has set up an inter-ministerial committee on UNGASS 2016 that will focus on the global drug policy.
In October 2015, West Africa Civil Society Institute (WACSI) organized a multi-sectoral meeting with the financial support of the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) on drug policy. The meeting is part of a series of events being held across West Africa to support drug policy reform and the adoption of a progressive position by West African governments at UNGASS 2016. Thirty-five representatives from government and civil society practitioners working on drug related issues attended the meeting, which focused on assessing current drug policies and the measures put in place at national levels to deal with drug trafficking, production and consumption. In the final communiqué of the meeting, which was issued on 28 October 2015, participants identified best practices in tackling drugs, security and organized crime at country level.
The communiqué called for the reform of the current drug policy, so that public health in relation to drug users should be the focus, rather than criminal penalty. It also called for the allocation of more resources to facilitate treatment and facilities for drug users. Ghana currently considers narcotic drugs as a national 'security and safety' issue.
There was a consensus among participants at the meeting was that government should take a different approach to the issue and view this more as a public health concern as well.
This position is broadly reflected in the outcomes of similar meetings held in Benin and Senegal. These two meetings, held in November 2015, also advocated for harm reduction programmes targeting drug users, while deploring the widespread preference by state officials in the region for criminal penalties and police raids over a more humane approach.
None of the communiqués minimize the threat posed by drug traffickers, who they want apprehended and punished, or of widespread narcotic drug use in society. They merely call for a balance that respects the human rights of drug users and that acknowledges that drug addiction, or problematic drug use, is a form of illness that deserves treatment, not punishment.
Of the three countries where these meetings were held, only Senegal has introduced an experimental harm reduction programme. Participants there in their communiqué called on their government to "promote and legalise alternative sentencing mechanisms for drug users." This recognises the fact that drug use or possession is still illegal, but that it does not need to carry sentencing penalties - in effect a call for depenalization. Officials in Ghana have contrived an ingenious phrase reflecting this position: drug trafficking is illegal, but it should not be criminal.
Benin, like Ghana and Senegal, has for a long time now been a stable democracy, but it continues to face serious threats of penetration by international drug cartels. The communiqué issued after the meetings there understandably called for regional harmonisation of the laws against drug trafficking, so as to avoid the creation of "safe havens" for drug traffickers in West Africa.
I suspect that for many veteran drug policy reform campaigners, these communiqués do not go far enough. Though the Ghana communiqué recognizes that a "drug free country" is a myth, and advocated the allocation of more resources to "research centres to conduct elaborate scientific research on the industrial benefit of cannabis", it does not endorse the emerging global consensus that cannabis should be decriminalised (many would even have it legalised). This kind of squeamishness ought now to be abandoned.
Still, the communiqués are a significant step forward in West Africa's developing approach to its growing narcotic problem. On 19th and 20th January, representatives of government ministries, state security agencies, and civil society from 11 countries in West Africa met in Accra to discuss drug policy reform in the region. Like previous meetings held, a significant progress was made in forging a progressive consensus with respect to UNGASS 2016. The communiqué issued at the end of meeting called on governments in the region to "tackle drugs from a public health perspective and not only as a national security and safety issue." Though the communiqué begins by reaffirming the 2009 Political Declaration and Action Plan on International Cooperation, which many drug policy reform activists want fundamentally changed, its overall content represents a very progressive step forward in the region's approach to narcotic drugs. It certainly is a good foundation and a step in the right direction in preparation for UNGASS 2016.
The Special Session on the World Drug Problem will offer an opportunity for review of the international treaty relating to narcotic drugs, which are both prohibitionist and, in so far as it relates to reducing drug supply and consumption, ineffective.
The three communiqués reviewed here are a reminder that the problem of drug policy reform will go way beyond UNGASS. The global prohibitionist approach to narcotic drugs has been firmly institutionalized in West Africa's legal systems, and in its political and judicial cultures. To change this demands much more than making uplifting speeches at the United Nations.
Lansana Gberie was a Consultant for the Open Society Initiative for West Africa (OSIWA) on UNGGASS 2016.
