2010 Honda Odyssey
The Honda Odyssey might be the best minivan on the market. It's one of the most enjoyable to drive and lives up to Honda's reputation for refinement, convenience, and great fit and finish. Its flexible seating system can accommodate up to eight passengers and it has plenty of room. In short, it's a good choice for families.
Four trim levels make it affordable to a wide group of buyers: The base LX starts just below $27,000 and includes most of the features that make family travel easier. The line-topping Touring has as many bells and whistles as a good luxury sedan and offers Acura handling and Acura pricing.
Yet all Odyssey models deliver car-like ride and handling and a comprehensive set of safety features, including electronic stability control and side curtain airbags for head protection.
Honda Odyssey is powered by a 244-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine with a five-speed automatic transmission, and it's a good powertrain. Even on base LX and one-step-up EX models it features Honda's efficiency-enhancing Variable valve Timing with Electronic lift Control (VTEC). EX-L and Touring upgrade to intelligent i-VTEC with Variable Cylinder Management; VCM shuts down two or three cylinders to conserver fuel when conditions allow it.
High-tech features you can see and touch include a CD player that can play MP3 or WMA files, an auxiliary audio input jack, and an available Bluetooth cell phone link and a rearview camera display integrated into the inside mirror.
The current-generation Odyssey is now in its sixth year of production, and in its third season following a 2008 freshening that brought a new look up front and some new technology inside, including refinements to the VCM system described above. Changes have been minimal since then. For 2009, Honda added some more content at the EX-L level. For 2010, the DVD entertainment system is now available on the EX as well as the EX-L and Touring. It includes a 9-inch screen an a 115-volt AC power outlet. The Odyssey has won numerous awards and critical acclaim.
Model LineupHonda Odyssey LX ($26,805); EX ($29,455); EX-L ($33,405); Touring ($40,755)
Walk Around
The Honda Odyssey cuts a curvy profile, with a front end that looks similar to the Accord sedan. Large headlights flank its big, angular grille. The air intake in the lower front fascia departs from the Accord look by being wider, and wide-open, rather than grilled. The Odyssey's hood is sculpted with curves that lead naturally back to the windshield and emphasize the big fender flares. Honda has not hidden the sliding door channels at the base of the window but left them partially obscured by a crease that runs the length of the vehicle.
All models come with two sliding doors, manually operated on the LX and electrically operated on all other models. The power windows in each of the side doors can be opened in the same fashion as in a car. The tailgate is electrically operated in the top-of-the-line Touring. We found the power doors seemed a bit reluctant to operate at times and were less responsive to key fob commands than were the sliding doors on the Toyota Sienna.
The Odyssey boasts Honda's Advanced Compatibility Engineering (ACE) body structure. The vehicle's crush zones have been engineered to provide good protection for occupants while minimizing damage in a collision with smaller vehicles and pedestrians. Its body structure is rigid, which contributes to crisp handling and a smooth ride. A low drag coefficient helps improve fuel economy and high-speed stability.
Inside, the Odyssey is both comfortable and convenient. It feels downright luxurious when ordered with leather trim. The soft materials look good and the metallic-colored trim that runs across the center of the dash is attractive.
Up front, the driver's seat is designed to hold the driver firmly and is positioned in a car-like setting. The tilt/telescoping wheel and the various manual/power adjustments create a comfortable driving position, which is even easier in the Touring model thanks to power-adjustable pedals. The shift lever is mounted on the dashboard, and while it looks odd at first, it's easier to use than a column-mounted shifter. A handy drink tray is provided between the front seats, and it can be folded down to allow walkthrough access to the second row. There is no center console. Two glove boxes are provided, which are more awkward for storage than one big one.
The second-row bucket seats are roomy and comfortable.
The third-row seat splits 60/40 and folds easily into the well provided for it, and the headrests do not need to be removed before folding.
Cubby storage includes a useful storage area hidden under the middle of the floor, accessible from both the front and middle-row seats. Originally it was designed to house the spare tire, but Honda engineers moved the spare tire to a location in the rear. Instead of removing the round space under the floor where the spare used to reside, they've turned it into a hidden storage compartment with a rotating compartmentalized bin, like a Lazy Susan. A small panel in the floor between the two front seats lets front passengers access the bin while another panel is provided in front of the second-row seats. Front and middle-row passengers can turn the Lazy Susan and access whatever is stored inside.
Eight people can fit in the Odyssey with the available PlusOne seat that fits between the two captain's chairs in the second row. If it's not needed as a seat, it can be turned into a table or stowed in the floor in place of the Lazy Susan bin. If the PlusOne seat is not being used, the right-hand seat can be slid across to allow easier access to the third-row seats. This flexibility makes the Odyssey a versatile people hauler.
For cargo, the third-row seats fold (a fairly easy task) and the second row can be removed (not so easy) to offer 147.4 cubic feet of cargo space, more than most minivans and any SUV.
The navigation system is one of the easiest to operate using its on-screen menus and includes Zagat restaurant data. The large eight-inch monitor is positioned high on the dashboard for easy viewing. The system also responds to voice commands, and we found it responds effectively. It's capable of responding to more than 600 voice commands and is smart enough to understand different accents and find locations without any need for input other than by voice. Apart from navigation, the system can be used to operate the radio and climate controls.
The rearview camera makes parallel parking easier and also functions as a safety feature: By displaying what's behind the car on the navigation screen, it can show the driver unseen hazards such as a small child possibly preventing a tragic accident. We find rearview cameras very useful in crowded shopping center parking lots where people are walking behind the car after we've shifted into Reverse.
The DVD entertainment system features a large nine-inch widescreen display that folds out of the ceiling for viewing by second-row passengers. The wireless headsets turn on and off automatically as the ear pads are rotated.
Driving Impressions
Honda's goal with Odyssey was producing a minivan with the handling of a European sedan, and it hasn't missed the mark by much. Underway, the Odyssey delivers everything you could ask for in a minivan: a smooth ride, responsive handling, stability at speed and a smooth, powerful engine.
The Odyssey belies its size on the road and handles like a sedan. It's not as dynamic as a European sports sedan, by any means, but it handles better than a traditional SUV. It's best compared to any of the newer crossover SUVs. We found it pleasant around town or for long drives.
The Odyssey offered a perfectly pleasant ride during a test drive along country roads in Alabama. It was neither too firm nor too soft. Granted, there is some road vibration. And there is some slack in the steering on-center: You can turn the steering wheel a few degrees in either direction before the vehicle starts to move. It was no worse than in a Chrysler Town & Country, however, and it's a common trait of many large cars and most SUVs. All in all, the Honda Odyssey is a good vehicle for a long-distance drive.
A few laps around a race track showed the Odyssey to be stable at high speeds. We were surprised how much we could chuck it into corners. We could drive hard enough into a sharp corner to feel the tires slip without any drama. While the body leaned in corners, it wasn't as bad as most minivans. In fact, an Odyssey lapping in front of us looked remarkably stable for a tall vehicle.
Parking is easy. The turning radius is among the tightest of any minivan, making it an easy to make U-turns and maneuver in parking lots. The park-assist system, with beeping tones that warn the driver of other bumpers front and rear, helps considerably when parallel parking.
Acceleration is better than that of most other minivans. Honda claims 0 to 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, which is very quick indeed. Yet even when it has all 244 horsepower pulsing through its front wheels, the Odyssey is almost devoid of torque steer (a tug on the steering wheel that accompanies hard acceleration in front-wheel-drive cars), an impressive feat.
Honda's 3.5-liter V6 engine is smooth, powerful, clean and fuel efficient. The i-VTEC V6 (intelligent Variable Timing and Electronic Control) that comes in the EX-L and Touring models gets an EPA-rated 17/25 mpg City/Highway. That's slightly better than the fuel economy of the standard VTEC V6 that comes on the LX and EX: 16/23 mpg. The advantage the i-VTEC engine has is its VCM system, which deactivates two or three of the six cylinders whenever the Odyssey is cruising at a steady speed. We were never able to discern when the engine was running on three cylinders as there is no obvious stutter or change in engine note, although a green dash light illuminates to tell you the system is working.
Both versions of the engine now generate 244 horsepower. The base version rates 240 pound-feet of torque at 5000 rpm, while the i-VTEC version makes 245 pound-feet at 4900. We were unable to tell much difference between the two engines. In short, the Honda VTEC V6 is a great engine, and the i-VTEC version is just a little better.
The brakes work well. Every Odyssey comes with anti-lock brakes (ABS) and Vehicle Stability Assist, Honda's electronic stability control system. This VSA system works in conjunction with the drive-by-wire accelerator and ABS to modulate the brakes while managing the throttle and ignition. If the vehicle starts to lose grip on a tight turn on a slippery surface, the system automatically slows the engine and gently applies brakes to help keep the vehicle from skidding out of control. In a test on a soaking skid pad we found the system works well. It only works in emergency handling situations so it's not distracting during normal spirited driving. It can be turned off, though we recommend against doing so.
We had no complaints about noise while driving any of the Odyssey models. The Touring model and the EX-L benefit from extra high-tech noise-abatement features. When the i-VTEC engine with VCM is running on three cylinders there is a natural imbalance, which can produce drumming sounds and vibrations. To counteract this, the engine is mounted on special active control engine mounts that electronically adjust themselves to counteract engine vibrations. Further booming sounds are reduced by an active noise control system that automatically sends an out-of-phase sound through the speaker system to cancel out engine noises; it also works when the engine is idling.
Honda Odyssey has it all: great road manners, easy passenger and cargo flexibility, a full array of safety equipment and better fuel economy than most SUVs. The Touring model in particular will appeal to buyers seeking the versatility of a minivan with the accommodations and features of a luxury sedan.
NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent John Rettie filed this report after his test drive of various models in Alabama; Kirk Bell contributed to this report from Chicago after his test of the i-VTEC engine.

Woody: This Earnhardt Jr. Thing Is A Head-Scratcher
By Larry Woody | Senior Writer
For awhile I wrote it off as just some sort of weird coincidence.
I don't any more.
It can't be mere coincidence that week after week, race after race, three Hendrick Motorsports drivers do so well while a fourth flounders.
It happened again Sunday in California. Jimmie Johnson won the race. One of his teammates, Jeff Gordon, was second. A third teammate, Mark Martin was fourth.
The fourth teammate, Dale Earnhardt Jr., was 25th.
Granted, Junior got caught up in a wreck. That seems to happen often to Earnhardt this season. Or he has a bad pit stop. Or the engine blows. Or the sun gets in his eyes. It's always something.
That's why his three teammates all are in contention for a championship while Junior never came close to even making the Chase.
Earnhardt's persistent struggle is the biggest puzzle in NASCAR, and it grows more mysterious with each Junior flop and each Johnson-Gordon-Martin success.
There's not just a gap between Junior and his three teammates – there's a Grand Canyon. An abyss. It's like they're not even in the same league.
I don't believe it's lack of effort and desire on Earnhardt's part. Anyone who's been around him knows that Junior is aware of who he is and of the legacy he inherited. He seems driven to win.
So why can't he?
Is he getting short-changed on equipment or support? It's hard to believe that boss Rick Hendrick would stand by and permit that to happen. Surely he knows that he possesses the single most valuable commodity in NASCAR – Dale Jr.'s popularity – and if Junior could start winning his value would go through the roof.
I'm convinced that Earnhardt is trying hard.
I can't believe that Hendrick is short-changing him.
Yet I don't believe that what we continue to see race after race this season is just some amazing coincidence. Why do three Hendrick drivers continue to soar while a fourth continues to sink?
Something's wrong somewhere. But where?
If even one of the other three drivers were struggling like Earnhardt it wouldn't be so puzzling. But when all three are sizzling, it magnifies Junior's misery – and NASCAR's biggest mystery.

Directors of Grafton Architects, Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara for the 2014 AJ Women in Architecture Awards
Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara founded Dublin-based Grafton Architects in 1978. It has been a significant year for Grafton: its scheme for the University of Limerick was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize and the practice picked up its first UK project, seeing off a strong shortlist to win the job to design a flagship new building for Kingston University. Grafton was also shortlisted in the contest to design a new £90 million Global Centre for Social Sciences for the London School of Economics.
Why did you choose architecture? There were a number of reasons: a combination of instinct and fascinations with art, culture and people.
What is your design ethos? The older we get, the more we are convinced of the importance of architecture, both for itself and for the possibilities of benefiting society. We love architecture's synthesis of being an art form that works and that has a job to do. We love architecture's ambition to span both need - basic human requirements - and meaning; to be useful and be more than that. We feel it is important to remember that architecture is commissioned. We are a profession that needs to listen, to hear what is being said, to what is un-said, and to invent. Each project is significant and each project deserves 100 per cent focus. What our profession does really matters.
Which architects inspire you? Eileen Gray, Flora Ruchat-Roncati, Lina Bo Bardi, Anna Heringer, Carme Pinos and Zaha Hadid.
What is your advice to aspiring female architects? Love architecture. Nurture your talents. Find ways to create things. Visit buildings. Learn from them. Research. Do competitions. Teach, read, talk and listen. Find trustworthy friends. Help each other through thick and thin. Practice. Find good clients. Keep going. Set up a structure that suits you and the way you think. Let your voice be heard.
Why do you think women leave the profession? We are constantly amazed that so many really talented female architecture students, whom we come across while teaching, somehow vanish from the profession after university. It is a real loss. Maybe it is because if the balance of worth shifts from meaning to drudgery and if the experience of working is one of exclusion and not inclusion, then women make other choices.

The hardware Abstraction Layer file hal.dll is either missing or corrupt. This file is used to interface to hardware such as the keyboard and mouse ports on your system. Most desktops use a common hardware platform supported by a default hal.dll file. Many laptop manufacturers will replace this file with their own custom hal.dll file. Without this file, Windows cannot be run, even in Safe mode.
Aside from the file actually missing or corrupt, it can be caused by hard drive problems, a wrong BIOS boot choice or a misconfigured start up files - BOOT.INI file (XP) or BCD (Windows 7/Vista).
Cannot find \Windows\System32\hal.dll
The BIOS may be configured to boot from the wrong device. If you suspect this, the device boot order can be changed in the BIOS setup. Be aware there little consistency in BIOS setup operations, even with the same manufacturer on different models. As such, these instructions are bit less precise than we'd prefer.
Windows 7/Vista/2008 offer a semi-automatic way to fix a range of startup and file problems.
With luck this will correct the problem.
If the Boot.ini file points off to the wrong partition or drive, this error can occur.
If you have Fix-It Utilities Professional or SystemSuite Professional, we suggest using it's BOOT.INI repair tool as it is much faster and deals with some special situations. Simply boot from the Rescue CD or diskette and at the menu, select BootFixer. Remove the CD and select Exit.
To fix Boot.ini using the Windows boot CD:
If the BOOT.INI was the cause of the problem, Windows will boot normally.
Use the Windows RE (Repair Environment) under Window 7/Vista to repair and replace missing or damaged files. For XP users, you can re-install XP without erasing applications or settings, or use the XP Recovery Console to fix some problems. Pick the OS solution below.
Using Windows RE for Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008
For detailed instructions with screen shots, go to Using System Restore 7/Vista/2008, or use the brief summary here:
You'll need the Windows installation DVD. Note that many OEM manufactures leave out the installation DVD, which has to be purchased separately, or they only include a limited restore DVD that just erases the system and starts over (often a poor choice). All retail copies of Windows include this bootable DVD.
Insert the Windows DVD and reboot the system. Assuming the BIOS defaults to booting from the DVD (usually the default) then select the language. Next click on Repair your computer. A list of Windows installations should appear. Select your installation (typically there will only be one).
A list of recovery options will appear including an automatic repair function, restore from a previous system restore point, restore the computer from a backup (assuming one is available), run the memory diagnostic tool, or go to a command prompt (for advanced users).
Using Windows Recovery for XP
For detailed instructions with screen shots, go to Using System
Restore XP.
As a reminder, not all hal.dll files are the same and if the system was using a different version or one provided by the PC manufacturer that is different than the one you copied, it may cause odd behavior and/or hang at a later point.

New York, September 18, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes Monday's arrest of an individual suspected to have ordered the 2009 murder of journalist Uma Singh, and calls on authorities to ensure the case is brought to justice.
Police said today that they had arrested Umesh Yadav in Kailali district, approximately 400 miles outside the capital, Kathmandu, according to local news reports. Yadav, a former Maoist, is suspected of ordering the murder of Singh, the 27-year-old print and radio reporter, Shiva Gaunle, chairman of the Federation of Nepali Journalists, told CPJ.
Singh, a reporter for Janakpur Today and Radio Janakpur, was killed when about 15 assailants wielding knives attacked her in her home in Janakpur.
Local journalists have long maintained that the original police investigation had ignored her profession as a possible motive. The Federation of Nepali Journalists said that Singh's murder was related to her work as a journalist because she had been very critical of the Maoists in her region, who she believed had abducted her father and brother in 2005. Singh's work in print and on air had also addressed sensitive issues including communal violence and women's rights, according to an investigative report compiled by press freedom groups.
Following Singh's murder, police arrested the journalist's sister-in-law, Lalita Devi Singh, accusing her of involvement in the case, and claimed that Singh had been killed over a property dispute within the family. Police also arrested Nemlal Paswan, a local Maoist leader. The connection between Lalita Singh and Paswan is unclear. Both were given life terms in June 2011.
"CPJ welcomes the arrest of a suspected mastermind in Uma Singh's murder case as a significant first step," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "However, only a robust effort by authorities to prosecute and deliver a just verdict will help to reverse deep-rooted impunity for journalist murders in Nepal."
Weak law enforcement and a culture of political protection have created a climate of impunity in Nepal, where five journalist murders remain unsolved. For the first time since 2008, the country dropped off CPJ's Impunity Index, which spotlights countries where journalists are slain and killers go free. Yet progress in addressing impunity for journalist murders remains tempered.

Portman asks feds to make Brent Spence funding priority
Report on funding options for new bridge expected soon
An area lawmaker is pleading with elected officials to make funding for the aging Brent Spence Bridge a priority.
Sen. Rob Portman made a personal plea on behalf of his hometown, asking Congress to dedicate money to the project.
"Brent Spence is one example of an endangered bridge that this amendment could help," Portman said. "We need to ensure that bridges like Brent Spence on our nation's highway system receive the priority funding that the bridges in critical corridor section of this legislation provides."
The urgency is apparent across the river, as well, where officials and drivers alike are worried about tolls to help pay for a replacement.
"Over $142 million per year would be coming out of the northern Kentucky economy," said Kevin Gordon, of the Northern Kentucky Business Association. "This is a federal responsibility."
Covington Mayor Sherry Carran agrees, although she doesn't think federal funding could eliminate the need for tolls.
"If he can get more federal funds to the project, that is good, and we need to be doing that from the Kentucky side," Carran said. "We need to be getting our senators and congressmen doing the same."
The director of OKI cautions that federal funding would be split with thousands of bridges across the country.
"Even if we got 5 percent of the money, I mean, which we won't, it's just a drop in the bucket to the $2.5 billion that we need to build the bridge," said OKI Executive Director Mark Policinski.
An analysis of the funding options will be released soon.
"When that comes out, the region needs to take a look at it and say, 'What's the most realistic way to build this bridge faster?'" Policinski said. "Because if you build it faster, you can build it cheaper. If you build it cheaper, then everybody wins."

Andrew Houck, 30
Preserving information for practical quantum computing
Princeton University
Among the most promising approaches to building a quantum computer is using superconducting circuits as quantum bits, or qubits. But controlling the qubit without destroying the information tucked inside it is a major challenge.
Andrew Houck, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, developed a superconducting qubit called a transmon that helps keep quantum information intact.
The data in a qubit--0, 1, or a quantum superposition of the two--is represented using different energy and phase states in the circuit, but stray electrical fields can easily destroy these states during readout. Instead of targeting the source of interference, as other researchers have, Houck armored the qubit, adding a capacitor that makes it difficult for stray electrons to interfere.
Getting data from the transmon is the next hurdle. Usually the qubit is read directly, by measuring changes in charge, but that's not possible with the transmon. So Houck coupled it to a microwave photon, which interacts differently with the qubit depending on its state. By measuring the photon, it's possible to infer the qubit's state and thus extract its information.
While the quantum data in transmons lasts a few microseconds--an order of magnitude longer than in previous qubits--there's still a way to go before millions of qubits can be used to make a large-scale quantum computer. --Anne-Marie Corley

Highmem is a method that increases the usable address space. Originally developed for Intel i386 where it enables the use of more than approx. 970MB of memory. Most of the code is portable to other architectures.
Memory Managment on Linux/MIPS
32-bit Linux/MIPS kernels assume the entire low memory to be accessible through KSEG0 which limits lowmem to at most 512MB. Typical MIPS systems reserve part of that address space for other uses so a lowmem limit of 256MB is a common value. Memory beyond that can be used by 64-bit kernels or 32-bit kernels with highmem support enabled.
Linux allocates a large array named mem_map[] in lowmem. On 32-bit kernels it contains one 32-byte (i.e. sizeof (struct page)) entry per page of memory. On Linux 2.4 struct page used to be twice as large. Pages are allocated even for reserved memory ranges. This consumption of lowmem means memory pressure on lowmem will rise with the amount of highmem. In practice at most a ratio of 1:4 to 1:8 has been found to perform well.
Highmem is accessed through temporary mappings. Creation and teardown of such mappings are not for free and mappings are only permitted to exist for a short time. This means any kernel software using highmem needs to be written with special care or performance and stability of the entire system are at stake.
Certain systems where memory may be outside the low 4GB physical address space will need to enable support for 64-bit physical addresses in pagetables also. This will nearly double the size of pagetables. Again pagetables reside in lowmem; this can be a large consumer of lowmem for system that make heavy use of mmap.
While creation and teardown of mappings already are a significant overhead, the cacheflushes necessary to deal with cache aliases would dwarf that. Therefore Linux/MIPS supports highmem only on systems that don't suffer from cache aliases. A highmem kernel will boot on such a system but only use the lowmem.
64-bit kernels use XKPHYS to access their lowmem. Due to the size of XKPHYS the entire physical memory is directly accessible so highmem isn't needed with 64-bit kernels. 64-bit kernels have somewhat larger code and data resulting in a slight slowdown. This however is by far preferable over the impact of highmem.

Visit the Isle of Wight to follow in the footsteps of a queen, writes Ruth Brindle
You've watched the TV series and seen the film Victoria & Abdul at the cinema, now experience some of those locations for yourself on a tour around the Isle of Wight.
This was Victoria's favourite place to take a holiday with her beloved Albert and their children and after spending a long weekend here it's easy to see why.
Admittedly I wasn't staying in the splendour of the royal home at Osborne House, but I was just next door in a building that was once part of the estate. The Albert Cottage Hotel is charming and very individual. But more of that later.
Quite rightly the Isle of Wight tourist board Visit Isle of Wight is making the most of all this on-screen exposure to lure many more tourists to this already popular island with the recent launch of a fantastic and well thought out Victoria's Island Trail.
You can follow in the Queen's footsteps around the island with an interactive online map or by picking up a leaflet to see some her favourite places and other locations of royal significance.
This not only takes in their grand and gorgeous 'holiday home' Osborne House in East Cowes but also other smaller venues Victoria and Albert favoured as off-duty holidaymakers - even the hotel where she regularly enjoyed to take afternoon tea.
Taking the car on one of Red Funnel's regular ferries across the Solent to Cowes is easy. The journey takes around an hour and the place to be is the new Signature Lounge on selected crossings. For a small extra charge you can sit in comfort and away from the crowds to enjoy panoramic views of the passing scenery from your comfy armchair sipping a complimentary coffee or tea. Take your pick of pastries too. It was a great start.
On arrival in East Cowes it was then just a very short drive to my base for an all-too short stay on the island at Albert Cottage Hotel which is both charming and has its own connections with Victoria and Albert.
The 10-bedroom boutique hotel was bought in 1852 by Prince Albert to be part of the Botanic Garden development of the Osborne House estate, and was used together with the adjacent Osborne Cottage by royal guests.
You can walk in the footsteps of Royalty along a covered corridor constructed to link the two properties during the building's Victorian heyday. Now it leads you from the main hotel to the Consort Restaurant and bar area.
When Queen Victoria died in 1901 Victoria's youngest daughter Princess Beatrice briefly used the cottage before moving to Carisbrooke Castle in 1913.
My room was spacious and beautifully decorated with dark, Gothic-style furniture and the bathroom was enormous and luxurious with a big bath and spacious walk-in shower. As I was travelling with my sister this was ideal as the small suite included a separate bedroom.
A good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast later it was just a couple of minutes' drive to the first stop on Victoria's Island Trail - Osborne House to delve more into Victoria's life on the island.
It's a stunning building from the outside, designed in an Italianate style by Prince Albert. But as soon as you enter the palace it is obvious this was a much-loved home too. The corridors are lined with classical-style statues many of which Victoria and Albert gave each other as gifts. Along the Indian corridor you'll find a portrait of Abdul, the Queen's servant and companion and the subject of the film featuring their relationship which stars Judi Dench and Bollywood actor Ali Fazal. Directed by Stephen Frears the film tells the story of an unlikely friendship between the Queen and her Indian servant who became her Munshi, or teacher. It was his grand clothes in the same portrait which initially sparked the interest of the book's author Shrabani Basu. She felt he was not just an ordinary 'servant' and the film provides a fascinating insight into Victoria's private life following Albert's death in 1861.
The walkway leads to the spectacular and surprising Durbar Room inspired by Victoria's role as Empress of India. Its intricate carvings are a marvel.
The rooms are sumptuously decorated, of course, but it's easy to imagine the royal family living there. The nursery is particularly fascinating kept as it would have been for the royal couple's children – nine in all - cots and toys still on display.
A framed family tree leaves visitors in no doubt how important this dynasty was in shaping Europe's royal families today.
Queen Victoria's bathtub is a revelation as is the bed where she died.
Albert was also particularly keen to teach his children the day to day necessities of life and in the charming Swiss cottage he built in the grounds the children could learn to cook and produce meals with fresh produce grown by their own hands in the cottage garden.
As a keen swimmer I was interested in visiting Osborne's private beach where the public can take to the waters where Victoria also dipped her toe in the sea. Unfortunately, her private bathing hut is not available to the hoi polio, although it's on display and makes a popular photo spot, but splashing about in the water is allowed. You can relax, enjoy the sea view and slurp an ice cream or cup of tea in the café too.
The beach is quite a long walk from the house but there are regular minibus shuttles available. Osborne House is a wonderful location where you can fill a whole day with activity.
Although I didn't have time in just two days to enjoy all the stops on the trail, I'd urge anyone following in Victoria's footsteps to visit the seaside resort of Ventnor and particularly Ventnor Botanic Garden, it's a gem.
Billed as Britain's hottest garden it is 5 degrees hotter than anywhere else thanks to the sheltered microclimate of Ventnor's Undercliff. As I wandered around the 22 acres of the sub-tropical garden packed with 30,000 rare and exotic specimens it was difficult not to take snaps of every plant. They are spectacular and none more so than those in the Victorian-era Palm Garden. The Chusan Palms here are the oldest in the British Isles and were presented to Queen Victoria. She wanted them planted at Ventnor which was originally the site of a convalescent hospital for tuberculosis sufferers. The spot had been chosen for the health promoting benefits of the microclimate and the tradition of growing plants that promote wellbeing is still carried on at the botanic garden. There's so much to discover here for all ages, not least some eye-poppingly large water lilies. It's a fascinating and beautiful place to spend time and learn a lot about plants, their place in the world and how their preservation is so important to the planet we live on.
Also in Ventnor is The Royal Hotel, another favourite spot of Queen Victoria's. The monarch came to Ventnor on recommendation of her surgeon Sir James Clark who was very vocal about the resort's health giving climate. The Ventnor Hotel was renamed The Royal Hotel after the Queen visited to take afternoon tea in 1855. The hotel is stunning (not least because of its outdoor swimming pool) and taking the Royal afternoon tea on the south-facing Geranium Terrace was a very special experience. It's the first time I've seen a 'wall' of geraniums. This climate really is out of the ordinary.
Filled to the brim with sandwiches and exquisite cakes, it was then on to Shanklin Chine. You may ask what is a chine? I had to look it up – it's a steep-sided coastal river valley. But this does not prepare you for the almost mystical atmosphere of the verdant valley with a waterfall at the end of a not too difficult climb. At night it's magical. Queen Victoria visited with her mother in 1833 aged 14. She also returned in 1846 with Prince Albert and Leopold and Louise, the Belgian King and Queen.
I was able to pack in one more stop on the trail at Carisbrooke Castle in Newport, once the residence of Queen Victoria's daughter Beatrice. It was a royal prison in the Civil War of 1642-1651 and I was spellbound by the story that King Charles I was imprisoned here before his execution. He did try to escape out of one of his room's narrow windows only to get stuck half way. Beatrice became Governor of the Isle of Wight in 1896 and lived with her mother the Queen at Osborne House. Her museum of local history is fascinating and don't miss the 16th century well house where donkey power draws up water. The views from the castle's Norman battlements are worth the climb too.
The other stops along the trail are:
St Mildred's Church, East Cowes
Just a short carriage ride from Osborne, St Mildred's Church, Whippingham was redesigned by Prince Albert, and rebuilt in a style considered to be more suitable for the Royal family.
The family worshipped at St Mildred's when in residence at Osborne. Queen Victoria's youngest daughter Princess Beatrice and her husband were married here and buried here.
There's a permanent exhibition of royal memorabilia in the church.
Newport Minster, Newport
Initially rebuilt by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert because they thought it wasn't suitable to house the remains of Princess Elizabeth, Charles 1's daughter, Prince Albert laid the foundation stone for the new church in 1854.
Queen Victoria also commissioned a marble memorial to Princess Elizabeth by sculptor Carlo Marochetti, which was presented to the church in 1857.
Northwood House, West Cowes
Bought in 1793, and extensively renovated in 1837, Northwood House was part of a huge estate owned by the Ward family. The manor house was the venue for Victorian high society balls and parties, many of which were attended by Queen Victoria, Prince Albert and their family.
Needles Landmark Attraction, Alum Bay
The Marconi Monument at The Needles Landmark Attraction commemorates the spot where Guglielmo Marconi set up his revolutionary wireless equipment and sent the very first wireless transmission.
In August 1898, Queen Victoria was said to be "delighted" when Marconi, summoned to Osborne House, went on to establish radio communication between Queen Victoria at Osborne and the Prince of Wales (later Edward VII) who was onboard the Royal Yacht 'Osborne'.
Farringford, Freshwater Bay
The Isle of Wight retreat of Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson, Farringford was the centre of the Freshwater Circle group of writers, artists and intellectuals.
Tennyson was a regular guest at Osborne. Prince Albert visited Farringford in 1856, leaving with a handpicked bunch of cowslips to take back for the Queen.
Blackgang Chine, Chale
Blackgang Chine received the royal seal of approval when Queen Victoria visited in August 1853 to see the skeleton of the whale that had washed up near the Needles – it was Blackgang Chine's very first attraction which is still on view today.
Prince Consort Building, Ryde
Now a private residence, the Prince Consort building was previously known as the Royal Victoria Yacht Club and overlooks the Solent from the western end of the esplanade at Ryde. It was built as a private place for the Queen, because the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes would not allow female visitors - whether they were royal or not.
Egypt Point, West Cowes
The coastal viewpoint between Cowes and Gurnard was one of Queen Victoria's favourite places. The Queen had an irresistibly romantic nature and it was from here that she enjoyed the magnificent sunsets and a panoramic view of the Solent which people still love today.
Fort Victoria Country Park, Yarmouth
During the early part of Victoria's reign, her Government made a huge investment to protect Portsmouth from the threat of French invasion and Prince Albert, an avid Army reformer, was involved in the design and naming of the first of Palmerston's coastal defences on the Island, Fort Victoria.
Occupying a commanding view of the Solent west of Yarmouth, and now on the edge of a woodland country park, the Fort's brick casemates currently host a series of indoor family attractions including an archaeology discovery centre, cafe, model railway, reptilarium and planetarium.

Following a four-year overseas tour in the Army, family physician Beau Ellenbecker opened a two-physician practice in Roanoke, Texas, in August 2011. But Ellenbecker opened the practice not as an owner, but as an employee of a large healthcare system.
"I think doctors in past generations were a little bit more entrepreneurial," he says. "When they went into medical school their desire was to own their own practices, and nowadays that thought didn't occur to me." Instead of practice ownership, he says, he wants assurance "that my employees are going to get paid, that I don't have to bleed my knuckles to make sure that all my overhead is covered and whatnot, and then worry about where my paycheck is at the end of the day."
Ellenbecker's preference for employment is one of many major shifts in attitudes toward work and life underscored by the results of our latest Great American Physician Survey of U.S. physicians. More of you are pursuing less demanding work schedules and exploring new models of care while feeling less optimistic about the future of medicine in general.
From generational differences and uncertainty due to healthcare reform to skyrocketing stress and frustration with traditional fee-for-service reimbursement, here's a look at some of the key factors that are changing your attitudes and career preferences.
*To read the results of the 2012 Great American Physician Survey view our slideshow here.
Ease of employment
Twenty-nine years ago, family physician Robert Carter opened a solo practice in Savannah, Ga., and he's happily practiced there ever since. "It was just one of those things that when I finished school, it wasn't written in stone, but many people started their own practice or went into other small practices," Carter says.
Now, with his two children in medical school, the 60-year-old sees how much things have changed. Though neither of his children has decided whether they prefer employment to private practice, most of their peers have. "Both of them had opportunities to work in my office for many years as they were growing up so they know what it's like, but they hear everybody — all their classmates — talking about 'I wouldn't dare consider going into practice for myself,'" says Carter.
This sentiment among young physicians has skyrocketed over the past decade. In 2001, only 3 percent of final-year medical residents said they would prefer hospital employment over any other option; in 2011, 32 percent said they would, according to physician search firm Merritt Hawkins' annual surveys of final-year medical residents. "Residents told us we're ready for the practice of medicine, but we don't want anything to do with the business of medicine," says Kurt Mosley, vice president of strategic alliances for Merritt Hawkins.
Young doctors worry that practice ownership will mean too much time spent on administration, too many long hours at the office, too much stress and financial risk. Employment just seems safer and simpler. And while previous generations of physicians were more willing to accept those presumed drawbacks because it meant independence and potentially higher incomes, younger physicians have different priorities. "I definitely think that their preference is this lifestyle/work-balance area," says pediatrician Walker Ray, vice president of The Physicians Foundation. "I think they have looked at physicians' practices and the practice styles in the past and said, 'That's not what I want to do, I don't want to work a 60- or 70-hour week.'"
Indeed, only 4 percent of Great American Physician Survey respondents over age 65 said they would give up partnership in exchange for a reduced workload. Yet 21 percent of our respondents under age 35 said they would.
Solo family physician James Robusto, who has practiced in Urbanna, Va., for 26 years, worries that young physicians are missing out on the fulfillment gained from working in a private practice. "When I'm working for myself, I know for one thing that the patients come first, and that is simply the way it's going to be," he says. Still, he acknowledges that entering private practice today is more challenging than it was in the past. "…The government regulations are now a lot worse than when [older physicians] first came out," says Robusto.

Boy Soldiers of the Great War
The youngest soldier who fought in the Great War is believed to have been just twelve years old. Many thousands of other boys are known to have faked eye tests, inflated their small chests and stood on tiptoes to bluff their way into a war of unforeseen horror. How and why so many under-aged boys were able to get to the battlefields is a complex mystery of World War I, and until Richard van Emden's classic account, largely unexplored.
Boy Soldiers of the Great War tells for the first time the incredible stories of the boys who went to fight for their country. Richard van Emden, having amassed a unique collection of personal testimonies and hitherto unpublished diaries and letters, brings to life their stories of heroism and sacrifice.

GSA's Alliant GWAC Just Got Social
January 14, 2014
Washington, DC - The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) took another step forward today in increasing collaboration among government and industry by launching a new social media community on Interact.gsa.gov for its Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), Alliant II and Alliant Small Business II. The Alliant community page on Interact will facilitate a transparent and open dialog around GSA's strategy for the next version of the Alliant GWACs by collecting input and feedback from federal agency customers and current and potential Alliant industry partners. Following the success of the OASIS Interact community in driving collaboration between GSA, federal agencies and the contractor community, the Alliant Interact community will serve as a forum for industry and government to gather feedback on proposed strategies, discuss ideas, and work together to create the most effective and efficient next-generation Alliant GWACs from GSA.
Key Facts:
- The current Alliant GWACs for Information Technology services are among GSA's most successful acquisition programs for the federal government with 50 federal agencies doing more than $20 billion in business volume since their inception in 2009.
- GSA Alliant and Alliant Small Business GWACs are used for complex IT requirements involving data center consolidation, systems integration, cloud computing, cyber security, help desk support, and other IT disciplines.
- The Alliant II and Alliant Small Business II Interact communities will serve as the one-stop-shop for all updates and information regarding the next-generation Alliant GWACs.
- The scope of the Alliant GWACs is built on the foundation of Federal Enterprise Architecture allowing for in-scope acquisition of new and emerging technologies.
- The GSA GWAC Program is widely acclaimed for superior customer service, scope reviews, and acquisition support.
FAS Commissioner Tom Sharpe weighs in:
"GSA is committed to working collaboratively with our industry and government partners to develop the most efficient and effective acquisition vehicles. Creating a feedback channel for industry and government to work in partnership with GSA in the creation of the next generation of Alliant and Alliant Small Business is critical to continuing the success of these billion-dollar programs. This is just the first step in a long process, but this helps lay the groundwork for a smooth transition down the road."
Federal Agency Customers Praise Alliant GWACs
- "The customer service that the GSA Alliant GWAC team provided was exceptional and the Statement of Work review support was very helpful."

Pioneering images of both martian moons
For the very first time, the martian moons Phobos and Deimos have been caught on camera together. ESA's Mars Express orbiter took these pioneering images last month. Apart from their 'wow' factor, these unique images will help the HRSC team validate and refine existing orbit models of the two moons.
The images were acquired with the Super Resolution Channel (SRC) of the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). The camera took 130 images of the moons on 5 November at 9:14 CET over period of 1.5 minutes at intervals of 1s, speeding up to 0.5-s intervals toward the end. The image resolution is 110 m/pixel for Phobos and 240 m/pixel for Deimos — Deimos was more than twice as far from the camera.
The Super Resolution Channel of the HRSC uses an additional lens, which has a very narrow field of view of just 0.5°, providing four times the resolution of the HRSC colour stereo channel.
Phobos, the larger of the two moons, orbits closer to the Red Planet, circling it every 7 hours and 39 minutes. It travels faster relative to Mars than the Moon relative to Earth. It was
It is not often that both martian moons are located directly in front of the camera, lined up one behind the other. The chance to image both moons together came on 5 November 2009 when the viewing geometry was especially favourable.
The plan to image both moons at once was years in the making and was made possible by the unique elliptical orbit of Mars Express, precise knowledge of the orbits of the planet, the moons and the spacecraft, as well as fortuitous viewing geometry, and perfect planning by the ESA and HRSC teams.
Exploration of Phobos: a scientific priority for Mars Express
In addition to producing high-resolution maps of the surface of Mars in colour and in 3D, the exploration of Phobos is a scientific priority for the HRSC team. The potato-shaped, 27 × 22 × 18 km moon has already been photographed 127 times by the HRSC, improving our knowledge of the topography of the moon, and providing insight into its origins and development.

A year after the death of Meles Zenawi, Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn succeeded in preserving the repressive climate in Ethiopia. Several journalists faced interrogation or prosecution for writing about the late leader, his policies, and even his widow. One journalist, Temesghen Desalegn, former chief editor of the critical weekly Feteh, was charged in February with defaming the government in connection with his articles on Meles. Some reporters attempting to cover other sensitive topics, like anti-government protests and the forced eviction of farmers, were also detained and harassed, while others fled the country fearing arrest. The government did not disclose the health, whereabouts, or legal status of two journalists who have been in custody for seven years. Authorities banned two independent newspapers, accusing them of violating press regulations, as well as a private broadcaster which was reporting extensively on peaceful protests by Ethiopian Muslims. The country faced international condemnation over the imprisonment of award-winning journalists Eskinder Nega, Reeyot Alemu, and Woubshet Taye, who were serving heavy terms on vague terrorism charges, but the Ethiopian government retaliated by imposing harsher conditions on them, including the threat of solitary confinement. Authorities continued to crack down on the online press by increasing its "technological capacity to filter, block, and monitor Internet and mobile phone communications," according to an October report by Freedom House.
Ethiopia's Federal Prison Administration issued a series of threats and restrictions to Eskinder Nega, Reeyot Alemu and Woubshet Taye, award-winning journalists who were serving harsh prison terms on vague terror charges.
CPJ found that the measures were in contravention of the prisoners' rights under the constitution and international regulations governing the treatment of detainees.
April 2013:
|Prison officials threaten Reeyot with solitary confinement for two months.
April 19, 2013:
|Prison officials transfer Woubshet from Kilinto Prison, outside Addis Ababa, to a detention facility in the town of Ziway, about 83 miles southeast of the capital and far from his family.
September 10, 2013:
|Prison officials limit the number of visitors allowed to see Reeyot. She goes on hunger strike to protest the arbitrary restriction, and authorities retaliate by limiting visitors to her parents and a priest.
September 13, 2013:
|Prison officials ban Reeyot's younger sister and her fiancé from her visitor list.
October 2013:
|Prison officials restrict Eskinder's visitors to four family members.
December 2013:
|Prison officials ignore doctors' orders that Woubshet be transferred to a properly equipped medical facility in connection with kidney pains the journalist suffered, and instead send him back and forth between prisons.
A year after Hailemarian Desalegn succeeded Meles Zenawi as prime minister, there was no change in the number of Ethiopian journalists behind bars. Ethiopia remained the second worst jailer of journalists in Africa, trailing only Eritrea, according to CPJ research.

Authorities continued to silence independent news outlets over information critical of government. In August, security forces arrested the leading journalists of Radio Bilal, forcing the online station to close down as it was reporting on anti-government protests by Ethiopian Muslims. The government-controlled media regulatory agency Ethiopian Broadcasting Authority indefinitely banned two independent newspapers, Addis Times and Le'ilena, citing spurious regulatory violations, according to news reports.

Since publicly acknowledging the detention of Eritrean state TV journalists Saleh Idris Gama and Tesfalidet Kidane Tesfazghi in 2006, authorities have not disclosed their whereabouts, health, or legal status. Ethiopian officials have provided scant and, at times, conflicting information about the two journalists.
The Ethiopian government accused the journalists of involvement in anti-Ethiopian military activities, but never presented any credible evidence to back up the accusations.
December 29-30, 2006:
|Tesfalidet, a producer for Eritrea's state broadcaster Eri-TV, and Saleh, a cameraman, are arrested by Kenyan security forces on the Kenya-Somalia border.
January 20, 2007:
|The two are taken into custody by Ethiopian security forces.
April 2007:
|Ethiopia announces the capture of 41 unnamed foreign terrorist suspects arrested in Somalia, adding that 12 of them will face trial before military court. The journalists appear in a three-part propaganda video posted on the pro-government website Waltainfo and portrayed as participants in military activities in Somalia.
July 2007:
|Ethiopian Foreign Ministry spokesman Wahid Belay tells CPJ that the government cannot provide any information on the journalists' detention.
August 2008:
|Ethiopian government spokesman Bereket Simon tells CPJ that court proceedings against the journalists are pending, but declines to provide details.
October 2009:
|Ethiopian Foreign Ministry spokesman Wahid Belay tells CPJ that he has no information about the two journalists.
February 2011:
|In response to CPJ's inquiry, Ethiopian Foreign Ministry spokesman Dina Mufti denies the journalists are in Ethiopian custody.
September 2011:
|In a press conference, then-Prime Minister Meles Zenawi declares that the journalists would be freed if investigations determine they were not involved in espionage.
|Ethiopian Justice Ministry Spokesman Desalegn Teresa does not respond to CPJ's repeated phone calls for comment.
Within a month in January 2013, at least 70 independent news and opinion websites, some of which were based abroad, were inaccessible inside the country, according to a report by Freedom House. The report, called "Freedom of the Net," studies Internet freedom around the world.
The government consistently denied blocking the Internet.

"The central goal of the Writing Center is to provide individualized, collaborative, and self-paced learning opportunities for students at Los Angeles Valley College. The heart of any writing center activity consists of dialogue about texts: those that a student has written or those she or he is reading. In either case, the center provides a place for students to develop a sense of audience, the externalizing of a given text that often cannot be accomplished in a classroom setting alone."
—Deborah L. Harrington, Professor of English
"Writing Centers do not and should not repeat the classroom experience and are not there to compensate for poor teaching, over-crowded classrooms, or lack of time for overburdened instructors to confer adequately with their students. Instead, writing centers provide another, very crucial aspect of what writers need—tutorial interaction. When meeting with tutors, writers gain kinds of knowledge about their writing and about themselves that are not possible in other institutionalized settings..."
—Muriel Harris, College English, 1995
Dialogue: Key to Writing Center Process
"Nearly everyone who writes likes—and needs—to talk about his or her writing, preferably to someone who will really listen, who knows how to listen, and knows how to talk about writing too. Maybe in a perfect world, all writers would have their own ready auditor—a teacher, a classmate, a roommate, an editor—who would not only listen but draw them out, ask them questions they would not think to ask themselves. A writing center is an institutional response to this need. Clearly writing centers can never hope to satisfy this need themselves; on my campus alone, the student-to-tutor ratio would be about a thousand to one. Writing Centers are simply one manifestation—polished and highly visible—of a dialogue about writing that is central to higher education."
—Stephen North, "The Idea of a Writing Center"
