Dublin to get on its bike and ban carsPublished at 12:01AM, June 27 2015
Council expected to approve a €150 million project in which taxis and private cars could be excluded from three main streets in the capital
Traffic lights that give cyclists a head start over motorists could soon be introduced across the country in an attempt to cut the number of riders killed at road junctions.
The introduction of traffic signals that allow cyclists to cross a few seconds ahead of other traffic would be a victory for The Times' Cities Fit for Cycling campaign. Junctions are particularly dangerous and are where 63 per cent of collisions that result in a cyclist being killed or seriously injured occur.
Robert Goodwill, the minister responsible for cycling, said: "We have given Cambridgeshire County Council permission to trial an early-start signal for cyclists as an alternative way of allowing cyclists priority at traffic lights. Manchester is looking at a similar scheme. If the results of that are good then we would look to spread the practice around the country."
In Cambridge, traffic lights on the main route from the railway station to the university have been altered to give cyclists five seconds to cross before other traffic.
Mike Davies, the council's team leader on cycling projects, said that the junction, known locally as Catholic Church, was highlighted by supporters of the Times campaign as one of the most dangerous in the country. Money for the improvement has come out of a £15 million government fund to improve dangerous junctions, which was set up after the launch of the Cities fit for Cycling campaign.
The campaign is urging councils to identify the most dangerous junctions, to redesign them and install priority traffic lights and concave mirrors to protect cyclists.
Phased traffic signals can help cyclists to get out of the way of dangerous traffic, particularly lorries turning left. Mr Goodwill suggested that a formalised system might prevent cyclists from jumping red lights, which is a source of conflict with drivers.
He told the Commons Transport Committee: "We need to understand to some extent why some cyclists feel they need to get away from the junction before the light turns green. We can't condone that, but maybe we should look at having an early start green bicycle signal to let the cyclist get away legally.
"We are looking at how that can be delivered in a way that has been correctly tested by our traffic engineers to make sure we are not putting people at risk by doing that."
Cyclists welcomed the idea. Chris Boardman, the Olympic gold medalist and policy adviser to British Cycling, said: " The ability to give a head start or separate phase to people on bikes is crucial to improving safety. These systems work well all over the world so there is no reason to believe they would not work here."
Chris Peck, a policy co-ordinator at CTC, a cycling charity, said: "The real benefit of these things is to segregate temporarily cyclists from left-turning traffic. Drivers will probably get it in the same way as they support advance stop lines [the so-called cyclists' box at traffic lights] because drivers want to get cyclists out of the way."
Traffic lights giving cyclists a four-second head start have been introduced at Bow Roundabout, a notorious crossing in East London. However, a female cyclist was killed by a lorry there last month, one of six cyclists who were killed in the capital over 13 days.
The Cities Fit for Cycling website helped to identify 10,000 dangerous junctions and possible remedies. The Government said it was using the data to allocate funds for improvements.

Larry Brown's rebuilding of the SMU basketball program received a setback when highly-regarded, and often troubled, point guard Josiah Turner said he will turn pro rather than transfer to the Mustangs. Turner told Yahoo! Sports he will sign with a team in Europe or the D-League, the NBA's developmental league, rather than make another attempt at a college career. Turner was suspended twice in his freshman season at Arizona and had announced in May that he was transferring to SMU to play for Brown. "My dream is to be a professional athlete in the NBA and I think this is what's going to bring me closer to it," Turner said. "In college, you get your degree and everything, but going pro is getting me closer to my dream and what I want to do in life." Turner averaged 6.8 points and 2.4 assists in his only season at Arizona. He was suspended for a game in December and later suspended indefinitely by coach Sean Miller just before the start of the Pac-12 Tournament. In April he was arr...

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] This disclosure relates generally to microfluidic devices, and more particularly, but not exclusively, to microfluidic devices having porous membranes with integrated sensors for filtering and detection of biological and/or chemical molecules.
[0003] 2. Background Information
[0004] As the breadth of microchip fabrication technology has continued to expand, an emerging technology associated with miniscule gadgets known as microfluidic devices has taken shape. Microfluidic devices, often comprising miniaturized versions of reservoirs, pumps, valves, filters, mixers, reaction chambers, and a network of capillaries interconnecting the microscale components, are being developed to serve in a variety of deployment scenarios. For example, microfluidic devices may be designed to perform multiple reaction and analysis techniques in one micro-instrument by providing a capability to perform hundreds of operations (e.g. mixing, heating, separating) without manual intervention. In some cases, microfluidic devices may function as detectors for airborne toxins, rapid DNA analyzers for crime-scene investigators, and/or new pharmaceutical testers to expedite drug development.
[0005] Recently, researchers have shown that porous substrates, such as nanocrystalline silicon, can be manufactured to detect particular chemical and bio-molecular structures. For example, one of these researchers has developed a porous substrate that may be used to detect TNT and dinitrotoluene at the parts per billion (ppb) level (cf., http://chem-faculty.ucsd.edu/sailor).
[0006] While the applications of such microfluidic devices and sensing substrates may be virtually boundless, the integration of some microscale components into microfluidic systems has been technically difficult, thereby limiting the range of functions that may be accomplished by a single device or combination of devices. In particular, current microfluidic systems have not adequately integrated a size-separating (or excluding) filter into a microfluidic chip. As such, separations may generally be carried out in external packed porous media or polymer-based nanopore membranes, thereby increasing contamination risks and introducing additional complexity and manual interaction into the performance of an analysis or other technique. Furthermore, sensing substrates have also not been integrated into a chip or the like.

[0019] Embodiments of a microfluidic device with an integrated porous-silicon membrane for molecular sieving, metering, and separations, and methods for fabricating and using the same are described in detail herein. In the following description, numerous specific details are provided, s k h as the identification of various system components, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the invention. One skilled in the art will recognize, however, that embodiments of the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods, components, materials, etc. In still other instances, well-known structures, materials, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring aspects of various embodiments of the invention.
[0020] Reference throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. Thus, the appearance of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
[0021] As an overview, embodiments of the invention provide a microfluidic device with at least one integrated porous-silicon membrane to sieve, meter, and/or separate molecular components from an influent stream introduced into the microfluidic device. Other features of the illustrated embodiments will be apparent to the reader from the foregoing and the appended claims, and as the detailed description and discussion is read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] A microfluidic apparatus 100 in accordance with one embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 1a-f. Microfluidic apparatus 100 includes a platform substrate 102 in which upper and lower microfluidic channels 104 and 106 are formed. The upper and lower microfluidic channels are oriented such that the upper channel crosses over the lower channel at a "cross-channel" area 108. A porous substrate 110 is disposed between the upper and lower channels proximate to this cross-channel area. As described below in further detail, the porous substrate 110 includes a plurality of pores through which molecular portions of some fluids, including liquids and gases, may pass, while restricting passage of other molecules.
[0023] In various embodiments, reservoirs may be connected to one or both ends of the upper channel and/or the lower channel. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, input and output reservoirs 112 and 114 are connected at respective input and output ends of upper channel 104, while input and output reservoirs 116 and 118 are connected at respective input and output ends of lower channel 106. In general, it will be desired to have liquid flow through each of the upper and lower channels in a particular direction. In consideration of this, in one embodiment the depth of the output reservoirs is extended below the channel depth. As a result, when fluid is added to the input reservoirs, it is caused to flow through the channels to the output reservoirs. In place of or in addition to the output reservoirs, respective exit paths for the upper and lower channels may also be provided (not shown).
[0024] Generally, the platform substrate will comprise an upper and lower half, which are sandwiched around one or more porous membrane/sensors. For example, as shown in FIGS. 1E and 1F, the platform substrate includes an upper substrate member 120 and a lower substrate member 122. As shown in FIG. 1F, the upper microfluidic channel 104 is formed in the upper substrate member, while the lower microfluidic channel 106 is formed in the lower substrate. In one embodiment, lower portions 116B, 118B and 114B of input and output reservoirs 116 and 118 and output reservoir 114, respectively are formed in the lower substrate member, while corresponding through holes 112A, 114A, 116A and 118A are defined in the upper substrate member. In general, the upper and lower substrate members will be sandwiched around the porous membrane 110 upon assembly. Accordingly, a recess in which the porous membrane will be disposed upon assembly may be formed in either the upper or lower substrate member. For example, in the illustrated embodiment, a recess 124 is defined in upper substrate member 120.
[0025] An embodiment of a single "flow-through" microfluidic apparatus 200 is shown in FIG. 2a-e. In one implementation a first reactant fluid enters an input reservoir 212 and flows into upper channel 204. At the same time, a second reactant fluid enters an input/output reservoir 214 and flows into a lower channel 206. Portions of the first and second reactants then pass through the pores in a porous membrane 210 and mix to produce a reaction. In a manner similar to that discussed above, in response to certain chemical reactions, the porous membrane may change an optical or electrical characteristic, thereby enabling the chemical reaction to be sensed.
[0026] In another implementation of the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 2a-e, a single fluid is input into input reservoir 212 and flows into upper channel 204. A portion of the fluid then passes through porous membrane 210 and into lower channel 206. The portion of the fluid passing through the porous membrane may then be collected in input/output reservoir 214. In this embodiment, the fluid may cause a change in an optical and/or electrical characteristic of the porous membrane in a similar manner to that discussed above.
[0027] In one embodiment, microfluidic apparatus 200 comprises a three-part assembly, including an upper substrate member 220, and a lower substrate member 222, which are sandwiched around porous membrane 210. As before, a recess may be formed in either the upper or lower substrate member to receive the porous membrane, such as a recess 224 formed in upper substrate member 220.
[0028] A microfluidic apparatus 200A having a configuration substantially similar to microfluidic apparatus 200 is shown in FIGS. 3a-e. The primary difference between the two apparatus' is that microfluidic apparatus 200A includes an exit port 230 rather than an input/output reservoir 214. Modifications to accommodate this change are shown in upper and lower substrate members 220A and 222A.
[0029] A microfluidic apparatus 300 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 4a-e. Microfluidic apparatus 300 includes a plurality of upper channels 304A, 304B, and 304C formed in an upper substrate member 320 and a plurality of lower microfluidic channels 306A, 306B, and 306C formed in a lower substrate member 322. Optionally, a plurality of input reservoirs 312 n (a-c) and 316 n and output reservoirs 314 n and 318 n may also be provided. In one embodiment, a plurality of porous membranes 310 are disposed within respective recesses (not shown) in upper substrate member 320 in a manner similar to that described above. In another embodiment, a single porous membrane 310A may be used, as shown in a microfluidic apparatus 500A shown in FIGS. 5a-e. As yet another option, the single porous membrane may be fabricated to include a plurality of porous sections, such as square or rectangular sections configured in an array (not shown).
[0030] A microfluidic apparatus 600 in accordance with another embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 6a-e. The apparatus includes an upper substrate member 622 in which three upper channels 604A, 604B, and 604C are formed. Option& input reservoirs 112 are disposed at the input ends of each of channels 604A-C, while the output ends of the channels meet at an intersection 611. The apparatus further includes a lower substrate member 622 in which a single lower microfluidic channel 606 is formed, wherein the lower substrate is similar in configuration with lower substrate member 164 for microfluidic apparatus 150. An output reservoir 616 may also be provided to collect fluids exiting the lower microfluidic channel. The apparatus further includes a porous membrane 610 disposed within a recess 624 formed in upper substrate member 620, wherein the recess is located proximate to intersection 611.
[0031] Microfluidic apparatus 600 will typically be used in the following manner, Respective fluid reactants will be received at the input ends of the upper microfluidic channels 604 (e.g., via input reservoirs 612A-C). The fluid reactants will then merge at intersection 611, causing a chemical reaction. A portion of the reactant chemical compound thereby formed will flow into the pores in porous membrane 610, thereby causing a potential change in an optical and/or electrical characteristic of the porous membrane. Such a characteristic change may be measured in the manners described below.
[0032] Porous Membrane Manufacture and Characteristics
[0033] In accordance with one aspect, the porous membrane comprises a porous structure that may be used for filtering, metering, and/or separating chemical and/or biological molecules. In general, a porous membrane may be manufactured such that its porosity is greatest along a selected direction. Furthermore, through the manufacturing process described below, the pore sizes can be tuned from a few nanometers to micrometers, thereby enabling the filtration, metering and separation of targeted chemical and biological molecules.
[0034] In general, the porous membranes and porous membrane/sensors may be made from a wide-range of materials in which nano- and micro-porous structures may be formed. For example, such materials include but are not limited to single crystal porous silicon (PSi), porous polysilicon (PPSi), porous silica, zeolites, photoresists, porous crystals/aggregates, etc. Typically, the porous membranes will be used for molecular separation and/or molecular (bio)reaction media with built-in real-time detection/monitoring of processes, molecules, fluids, reaction states, etc.
[0035] In one embodiment, porous silicon is used for the porous membrane. Porous silicon is a well-characterized material produced through galvanostatic, chemical, or photochemical etching procedures in the presence of HF (hydrofluoric acid) (A. G. Cullis et al., J. Appl. Phys. 1997, 82, 909). Porous silicon can be made generally as complex, anisotropic nanocrystalline structure in silicon layers (cf., http://chem.faculty.ucsd.edu/sailor) by either electrochemical etching or stain etching to form porous silicon. The size and orientation of the pores can be controlled by the etching conditions (e.g., current density, etc.) and substrate type and its electrochemical properties (R. L. Smith, et al. "Porous silicon formation mechanisms", J. Appl. Phys., 1992, 71, R1; P. M. Fauchet, "Pits and Pores: Formation, Properties, and Significance for Advanced Luminescent Materials", P. Schmuki, et al., eds. Pennington, N.J.: Electrochem. Soc., 1997, 27). Typical pore sizes range from ˜50 angstrom to ˜10 μm with high aspect ration (˜250) pores in silicon maintained over a distance of several millimeters.
[0036] Another type of porous silicon can be formed by spark erosion (R. E. Hummel, et al., "On the origin of photoluminescence in spark-eroded(porous) silicon," Appl. Phys. Lett., 1993, 63, 2771), resulting in a Si surface with pits and hills of various sizes in the micrometer to nanometers scale. Si nanostructures can be produced by an anisotopic etch followed by oxidation (A. G. Nassiopoulos, et al., "Light emission form silicon nanostructures produced by conventional lithographic and reactive ion etching techniques," Phys. Stat. Sol. (B), 1995, 1990, 91; S. H. Zaidi, et al., "Scalable fabrication and optical characterization of nm Si structures, " In Proc. Symp. Mater. Res. Soc., 1995, 358, 957). Through oxidizing a microcrystalline film deposited by chemical-vapor deposition, Si crystallites are passivated by SiO to form nanocrystalline structures (H. Tamura, et al., "Origin of the green/blue luminescence from nanocrystalline silicon," Appl. Phys. Lett., 1994, 65, 92).
[0037] With reference to the flowchart of FIG. 7a, a process for manufacturing porous membrane N10 (e.g., 110,310, etc.) in accordance with one embodiment of the invention proceeds as follows. First, in a block 700, porous silicon is etched in a silicon layer of typically ˜0.01-50 μm thickness either electrochemically or by stain etching to form porous silicon. In another embodiment, porous polysilicon (PPSi) is deposited by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD), in accordance with a block 702. The size and orientation of the pores, porosity, grain size, thickness, etc., may be controlled via appropriate etching conditions (e.g., current density, current duration, etc.), deposition conditions (e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), and also substrate type and its electrochemical properties, etc.
[0038] Next, in a block 704, a PSi film (or PPSi film) is physically separated by electropolishing "lift-off" from the PSi-etched or PPSi-deposited silicon and suspended in solution. Alternately, PPSi film may be formed when directly deposited on a substrate (e.g., silicon, quartz, etc.), and can be physically separated by any of various standard etching or micromachining techniques. The PSi or PPSi film is then secured within a corresponding recess formed in a substrate half proximate to a cross-channel area in a block 706.
[0039] In an alternate process shown in FIG. 7b, PPSi is directly deposited over the substrate cavity using LPCVD to from the porous membrane in a block 708. Subsequently, in a block 710 a channel is etched in the substrate having a portion that passes under the deposited PPsi. Generally, the substrate may comprise any suitable material in which the microfluidic channels may be formed (e.g., silicon, quartz, polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS), SU-8 photoresists), and polymers such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), etc.)
[0040] Real-Time Detection Of Biological and Chemical Molecules/Compounds
[0041] As discussed above, in various embodiments the porous membrane may also be manufactured such that it may be used as a sensor in addition to its filtering/sieving/molecular separation capability. For example, the porous membrane may be manufactured to produce a changed optical and/or electrical characteristic in response to being exposed to a targeted fluid or reaction, either through use of the base substrate material (e.g., PSi or PPSi), or through the addition of a sensor layer or through chemical doping and the like. Generally, such PSi or PPSi sensor mechanisms may include but are not limited to optical interferometric reflectivity, capacitance modulation, photoluminescence, optical form birefringence, acoustic, etc.
[0042] In one embodiment, optical changes may be observed by means of light source 800 and optical detector 802, as shown in FIGS. 8a-c and 9 a-c. (It is noted in these Figures only the volumes occupied by the reactant fluids, also commonly referred to solutes and analytes, and are shown, for clarity. Furthermore, the sizes of the various components are not drawn to scale for clarity. Additionally, the dashes and crosses represent different chemical or biological compounds used for the reactions, wherein different cross-hatch densities and patterns depict different compounds). In general, light source 800 may comprise any device that produces light suitable for detecting a change in a light characteristic of the porous membrane/sensor in combination with corresponding optical detection equipment or devices. For example, in one embodiment light source 800 comprises a laser source that produces light at a specific wavelength.
[0043] Depending on the particular optical characteristics of the porous membrane/sensor, visible or invisible light may be used. For visible light wavelengths, in one embodiment at least one of the upper and lower substrates is visibly transparent, meaning the substrate(s) produces minimal attenuation of visible light. In some instances, it may be desirable to use light having a wavelength in the non-visible spectrum (infra-red) if exists. Many substrate materials are "optically translucent" to these wavelengths, meaning these materials enable light having certain non-visible wavelengths to pass through with minimal attenuation. As an option, various viewing hole configuration may be defined in substrates that are opaque to light having a wavelength that may be used to detect the change in the optical characteristic of the porous membrane (not shown).
[0044] Generally, a variety of optical detectors may be employed, depending on the particular optical characteristic to be observed. In one embodiment, the optical detector comprises a detector suitable for laser interferometry. Other typical optical detector include but are not limited to avalanche photodiodes, various photosensors, and other devices used to measure wavelength, phase shift, and or optical energy/power.
[0045] Typically, the optical detector may either include build-in data logging facilities, or external data logging equipment may be connected to the optical detector, such as depicted by a data logger 804. As another option, a computer 806 with a data-logging card or an electronic instrument interface, such as the GPIB (General Purpose Instrumentation Bus) interface may be used. The data logger may store the data locally, or on a computer network, such as in a data store hosted by a database or data system or storage area network (SAN) device.
[0046] For changes in an electrical characteristic, various electronic instrumentation and/or circuits may be electrically coupled to the porous membrane to sense the changed condition. As discussed above, this may be facilitated by microelectrical traces disposed in the substrate, such as depicted by microelectronic traces 1000 in FIG. 10. Optionally, the substrate may be directly wired to external circuitry and/or electrical equipment, such as via wire bonding and the like. In one embodiment, signal conditioning and/or test measurement circuitry may be fabricated directly in the platform substrate, as is common in the semiconductor manufacturing arts, as depicted by integrated circuit 1002. Optionally, such signal conditioning and test measurement circuitry may be provided in an electronic measurement device 1006 and/or computer 1006.
[0047] Generally, the size of the channels and the cross-channel reactant area occupied by the porous membrane may be adjusted for the various reactants used in the testing. The flow of the fluids and molecules can be generated by standard microfluidics methods such as hydrostatic pressure, hydrodynamic, electrokinetic, electroosmotic, hydromagnetic, acoustic and ultrasound, mechanical, electrical field induced, heat-induced and other know methods. The flow-through micro-channel configurations (such as shown in FIGS. 1a-f, 4 a-e, and 5 a-e) allow flow-rate control, fluid dilutions, effective wash-out of the channels, minimum back-flow. Optionally, the flow may be blocked for incubations, diffusions, dilutions, etc., using standard microfluidic components and devices. For non-flow through micro-channel configurations, such as shown in FIGS. 2a-e, 3 a-e, and 6 a-e, the number of inlets and outlets and size of the cross-channel area can be varied based on functional requirements, reactant behaviors, etc. Furthermore, massively parallel configurations in accordance with the principles illustrated by the embodiments of FIGS. 4a-e and 5 a-e may be manufactured and employed for testing. In such instance, the porous membrane at each cross channel may have the same or different functionality (optical, biochemical, electrical, acoustic, etc.) as a sensor/detector, molecular separation or sieving filter, bioreactor (with surface modified nanopores, nanopores with immobilized biomolecules, surface coated nanopores, etc.)
[0048] While the invention is described and illustrated here in the context of a limited number of embodiments, the invention may be embodied in many forms without departing from the spirit of the essential characteristics of the invention. The illustrated and described embodiments, including what is described in the abstract of the disclosure, are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes that come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.

United States in Prophecy
United States in Prophecy was the original title of a publication that became known by its longer name of United States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy and published in various editions and formats after 1945. It was written under the byline of Herbert W. Armstrong who had assistance from staff members of Ambassador College. The publication related the views, beliefs and teachings of the Worldwide Church of God with regards to the identity of the so-called Ten Lost Tribes of Israel and for many years it was distributed as a companion booklet to 1975 in Prophecy! by the same author and publisher.
While the United States and British Commonwealth in Prophecy shared some of the same ideology as other groups who have held or do hold similar views, it was not intended to be anti-Jewish in tone or in content. In fact the booklet held that the Jews are one of the tribes of ancient Israel, but concentrated on what happened when the Kingdom of Judah and the Kingdom of Israel were created as separate nations.
The contents of the booklet were not original and many have claimed by comparison texts that most of its content came from an existing book called Judah's Sceptre and Joseph's Birthright[1] by J. H. Allen which was originally published in 1902. That book claimed to be "An Analysis of the Prophecies of the Scriptures in regard to the Royal Family of Judah and the Many Nations of Israel, the Lost Ten Tribes".

Perth Startup gives fuel to transport app, Yourstop
- From: The Sunday Times
- January 27, 2013
GEORGE Atherley had a "tiny, silly idea" that is now helping people across the world never to miss their stop on public transport.
His smartphone app Yourstop has become a popular way for people to be alerted to their bus or train stop letting them work, or sleep until then.
But he says that without Perth's first Startup Weekend, in September last year, he never would have got the idea off the ground. "You're taking an idea and trying to make it into a reality and that's really hard and scary," he said.
"Startup Weekend puts all the systems in place to give you the ability to do that."
The 28-year-old commerce and Mandarin university student, who works at a mining company in the holidays, worked with a team of six, whom he'd never met before, to test his idea, create a video advertisement and build the app. He said the relationships he forged at Startup carried on afterwards setting him up for success in the future.

Janice Ashworth's Profile
I am an artist, working mainly in watercolours. I recently set up my own studio and teaching workshop at Clevedon Craft centre, in North Somerset, which is sooooo exciting. I so lucky to be supported by my wonderful family, Husband and 3 fantastic kids that are all grown up and I am very proud of. I have painted since as young child where I could always be found with a pencil in my hand drawing everything around me. I changed my life when in 2001 I got my Art degree. which I followed up in 2002 with a PGCE in Post Compulsory Education Training. I taught at local colleges and now have my own business helping an supporting other people to bring some creativity into their lives. My blog and Folksy shop are named after our lovely dog Wellington boots, who unfortunately died recently at the age of 18. He always kept me company when I painted and I miss him terribly

Ferrari is a team that's used to being on top. It does, after all, have more world championships to its name – 15 drivers' titles and 16 constructors' – than any other team in the history of Formula One racing. But despite having some of the best drivers and resources at its disposal, it hasn't won a championship in over five years. Someone had to take the blame for that, and that someone turned out to be Stefano Domenicali.
The team principal who took over after Jean Todt stepped back to focus first on the running of the entire company and then the FIA, Domenicali has presided over the driest spell in the team's history since Michael Schumacher and Ross Brawn arrived in the late 90s to bring Ferrari back to its winning form. Whether that ultimately proves to have been Domenicali's fault or not, the buck stopped on his desk and he resigned a couple of weeks ago, making way for Ferrari's North American chief Marco Mattiacci to take the reins. At least for now, anyway, as rumors circulate of a longer-term solution that could bring Ross Brawn back into the fold following his recent departure from Mercedes.
The big question now, however, is what Domenicali will do next. The latest intel suggests that he could leave four wheels behind but stay in the field of competitive sports to coach an Italian basketball team. The rumors are fueled by reports that Domenicali has been in touch with Giovanni Petrucci, head of the Federazione Italiana Pallacanestro – Italy's national basketball federation. The organization runs two professional basketball leagues within Italy as well as its national team that's won eight international championships, two gold, four silver and four bronze medals in the European league and two silver medals in the Olympics.
While the move may seem a little out of the blue, it doesn't seem quite so odd when you consider that his former boss Luca di Montezemolo, also a one-time head of the Scuderia, once ran an America's Cup sailing team and orchestrated the 1990 World Cup when it was held in Italy.
Of course the rumors could amount to nothing, leaving Domenicali to look elsewhere. Ferrari has made no announcement of where he'll be going next, but the man born less than 49 years ago in Imola with racing in his blood could end up staying in the sport with another team, or within the company in another capacity or division. He has, after all, been working for Ferrari since graduating from business school at Bologna University in 1991, working in the bookkeeping department, then running the Mugello circuit (which Ferrari owns) before starting his climb up the Scuderia racing ladder all the way to the peak from which he most recently fell.

- Cited By
A group of social workers from Helsinki City Social Service Department working in an ordinary community-based social welfare office were trained to use basic solution-focused ideas in their work with people seeking living allowances and with families in child welfare. These social workers' relationships with their clients were compared to their previous similar relationships and to a control group. There were no significant changes in goal achievement but in line with solution-focused orientation there were increases in positive statements, goal focus, and shared views between social workers and their clients.

The next is a place, usually never more than a box, where I keep the various shinies I've collected over the years. (Love them so much. :3) The final group is the place where I keep my team, usually well-IV and EV shinies, but I do keep my normal Typhlosion in there because I feel like I'd be a traitor to leave behind my first starter.

(Here is a fine post by Larry Hurtado on an important matter). An "Early High Christology" by larryhurtadoA reader responding to an earlier posting of mine drew attention to a forthcoming book in which apparently the author asserts that the view of Jesus as somehow divine or partaking in divine honor arose sometime in the 40s and in places such as Antioch (where, supposedly, the influence of pagan religion with the frequency of divinized heroes would have helped to generate a divine Jes … [Read more...]

Harmonic Convergence— or Bill Evans Redivivus?
It would be difficult to over-estimate the influence Bill Evans has had on jazz since he left us, all too early, when I was in college. Classically trained, Bill became that rarest of persons--- someone who could play jazz just as well as he could play classical music. In regard to the latter, he admitted he was deeply influenced by the Impressionists, folks like Ravel for example, and you can hear this in his lyrical way of playing, and his inventive use of chords.To say there has … [Read more...]

WATERTOWN Rebecca A. Rose knew that when she selected Case Middle Schools spring show, The Music Man Jr., it would appeal to adults.
It seems to be the all-time American favorite, she said.
But she was pleasantly surprised the way her students have embraced the musical, which will be staged for four shows in the Watertown High School auditorium Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
I was afraid it was going to be a tough sell because its an older show, said Mrs. Rose, general music and choral teacher at Case. But the kids love it. They have embraced every aspect of it. Its a joy to watch.
The musical, with book, music and lyrics by Meredith Wilson, follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa, into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys band he vows to organize, although he knows nothing about music. His plan to skip town with the cash is foiled when he falls for librarian Marian Paroo, who transforms him into a respectable citizen by the end of the story.
The musical, which opened on Broadway in 1957, has become an American institution thanks to its quirky characters and nostalgic score of rousing marches, barbershop quartets and sentimental ballads. Its songs include Trouble, Seventy-Six Trombones and Goodnight, Ladies.
Every adult of a certain age that I talked to, they have a very special place in their hearts for this musical, Mrs. Rose said. And its picked at a very good time, especially after a very long winter. Its a very uplifting musical.
Mrs. Rose said her students are learning a lot about the era the music is set in, the early 1900s, from slang to fashion.
Weve put a lot of work in visually so the kids look like they are from the era, she said.
Mrs. Rose said she learned several pointers last summer during her annual trip to New York City to attend the Broadway Teachers Workshop.
We had a whole enrichment day on costumes, she said.
This is the second year in a row that Mrs. Rose has produced two shows in the school year for Case students.
We found that when we did (just) one show, the kids missed it too much, she said.
n n n
The main cast of The Music Man Jr. at Case Middle School:
Jacob Medley is Harold Hill; Emma Thompkins is Marion Paroo: Morgan Ortega is Mrs. Paroo, Josh Caldwell is Winthrop Paroo, Jaeden Mayzel is Marcellus Washburn, Joel Fox and Connor McDowell are Mayor George Shinn, Elissa Prieto and Eliana Schultz are Mrs. Shinn, Ally Kilburn and Emily Richardson are Zaneeta Shinn, Serenity Barksdale and Sarah Roux are Gracie Shinn, Brannin Jackson is Charlie Cowell and Katarina Carman and Luise Shay are Amaryllis.
In addition to Mrs. Rose, the staff of The Music Man Jr. at Case:
