It is December 6th, and I remember.
I was 13 years old when Marc Lépine opened fire and murdered 14 women for being at engineering school when he wasn't. He blamed feminism for the situation he was in, and murdered these women for being in non-traditional jobs, for being there.
Every year, the memorials I go to are different. Some are quiet - I remember several winters in the snow, holding candles and reciting names like a talisman against violence.
Geneviève Bergeron, 21 years old. Hélène Colgan, 24 years old. Nathalie Croteau, 24 years old.
When I was younger, they seemed impossibly mature and sophisticated. I used to imagine them laughing and enjoying university, cut down without warning. Now that I'm 35, they seem so young, and I wonder if they were afraid.

How Many Bottles of Beer Fit in a Boot Glass?
Bold enough to order a boot of beer? Then we'll raise to your valiance — prost! But before you sip yourself silly downing one of these enormous novelty glasses, let's find out just how much beer is housed within. (And, for bonus points, the beer-bottle equivalent of other novelty glasses like Oktoberfest standard liter and half-liter mugs.)
Das Boot (2 Liter) | 67 1/2 ounces — more than 5 1/2 (12-ounce) bottles of beer |
Das Boot (3 Liter) | 101 1/2 ounces — just shy of 8 1/2 (12-ounce) bottles of beer |
1 Liter Mug | 34 ounces — slightly less than 3 (12-ounce) bottles of beer |
1/2 Liter Mug | 17 ounces — just under 1 1/2 (12-ounce) bottles of beer |
Frozen Beer? Of Course It's Made in Japan
Where does the latest innovation in beer come from? Japan, of course. Meet frozen beer, a malty slush that's able to keep brewskis at cold temps for up to 30 minutes. We had a chance to experience the sensation when product manager June Yamamura gave us a firsthand look at Kirin Ichiban's frozen beer machine and its patented process. But if you think it's just a beer slushy, think again: there's more to this frozen foam — and how it's served — than meets the eye. Watch the video to learn more, including a few big attractions where you can find it stateside.
A Quick Primer on Lager
While many won't witness firsthand the ladies in dirndl or drink the foamy pints of beer at Munich, Germany's great Oktoberfest, all can learn about lager, a popular style of beer that originated in the country's Bavarian region. Before we get into how to spot a lager, let's start with some brief history. Germans started fermenting lagers only a few hundred years ago — that's relatively new compared to ale. The word originated from the German word lagern, which means "to store," since lagers are fermented and then stored in a cool cellar for several months.
Lagers differ from ales in several ways: in yeast used to ferment the brew, the time it takes to ferment, and the storing temperature. Ales require a top-fermenting yeast that is activated at room temperature and ferments for a quick seven days. On the other hand, lagers call for Saccharomyces pastorianus, a bottom-settling yeast that ferments the water-malted barley mixture. Lagers ferment slowly in cooler temperatures over a longer period of time (several weeks, or even months), which is said to contribute to the mild, mellow flavors and clear, rather than cloudy, composition.
Find out how you can detect a lager by smell and taste when you read on.
Cheers! An Evolution of Beer Advertising For Women
Oktoberfest kicks off this weekend, so let the beer-drinking season commence! You'd think modern women would be free to consume whatever alcoholic beverage they choose without it accompanying stereotypes, but alas, it's been a love-hate history of beer ads for women. The '50s and '60s may not have been forward-thinking eras for females, but that doesn't mean sexist beer advertisements and marketing campaigns aren't any less common nowadays. Advertisers are old pros at using clichés and generalizations about women in hopes of getting them to buy their hops. Let's put on our beer goggles and take a look at female-targeted beer ads over the years.
The Most Buzzed About Beer Gardens in the US

To get you on your way, we're bringing you seven of the most beautiful and beloved beer gardens on this side of the Atlantic. So just because you can't make it to the real Oktoberfest in Munich this year doesn't mean you can't get your party on, German style. Click on, and get that bucket list started. Jubel!

I am currently a development manager and have done so for the past several years. I came into development through the route of an administration background (Someone left the dev manager role and I was offered the position). While I enjoy certain aspects of management, I find myself always gravitating back to the technical stuff. My desire is to leave management and become a developer. My problem is I do not have any experience as a developer. This leads me to my question. Has anyone else has moved from management into development role? If so, what was your experience? How would I transition into a development role?
Take the tour
Programmers Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for professional programmers interested in conceptual questions about software development. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I know of many development managers going back to development, i.e. having the technical knowledge already. So there are many people feeling the same as you do. Since you are a development manager, you should have a lot of high level experience from the development field. I think that should be sufficient for starting as a junior developer. If you want to gain some technical, low level experience in development, maybe you can delegate some more in your current position and contribute some development in the projects you are managing right now? I know a lot of managers who are still developing themselves, about 20% of their time. | |||||

The Dawson County commission has given a local day care operator 30 days to catch up on months of back rent before it evicts the center from the county-owned building it occupies.

A special called meeting of the Dawsonville City Council will be held at 4 p.m. today, at city hall, to hear public comment on the city's proposed 2009-2010 budget.
The Dawson County commission will gather feedback on the county's 2010 budget during Thursday night's regular called meeting.

All but one of the subdivisions in Dawsonville has cleaned up its retention pond over the past month at the request of the city, officials said, with the lone holdout possibly requiring further action. "We've had reported to our street department and to the mayor numerous problems with the retention pond at the Howser Mill subdivision," City Attorney Dana Miles told council members during their meeting Monday night.
County commissioners voted last week to officially close two roads that were impacted by summer flooding until a time when funds are available to make repairs. In separate unanimous actions, commissioners agreed that it would better serve the county to close Etowah River Road and Hubbardsville Circle than to legally abandon the two.
Dawson County has a new assistant registrar to help out with elections. Chief Registrar Glenda Ferguson announced that, starting Monday, long-time county employee Rachelle Thurmond would be taking the place left by former Assistant Registrar Karen Armstrong.

CNN's Erin Burnett Tries to Play 'Gotcha' With Julian Assange
Thanks to Heather for the videos!
During an interview on CNN Wednesday night, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange warned that mass surveillance was becoming a worldwide problem as technology progressed. Assange has just published a new book about the internet, called "Cypher Punks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet."
Assange told CNN host Erin Burnett that the Internet has merged with global civilization, giving governments and others an unprecedented ability to spy on virtually anyone, because the technology to do so has become cheaper.
"Rather, the new game in two is strategic surveillance," he said. "It is cheaper now to intercept all communications in and out of a country. Store it permanently than it is to simply go after one particular person."
Now while you get the impression, at first, that Mr. Assange is a guest on CNN to discuss his new book. It could have indeed been quite an interesting topic, but that doesn't seem to be what Erin Burnett had in mind as she continuously tries to interrupt...

I sent out 5 or six emails the end of last week looking for leads about house renovation. So far one call, and it is an interesting one from a designer. The man doesn't have particular experience with home design for disabled persons (though he said he had worked with such issues in institutions) but he said he has 50 years experience in design, contracting, architecture, and engineering (he is now semi-retired). I asked him to define what he would do for us and he said he would want to examine the house carefully and take measurements, discuss with us in detail what we wanted, including explaining our alternatives for different cost and quality, and then produce a design for us. Once we have the design, if we wanted his help with finding contractors, etc., he would give us a proposal and we could choose whether we wanted to contract with him for that. I asked him how much having him do a design would cost, and he said $500 to $800. That's worth it just for what we will learn, whether we use his design or not.
John liked my description--he felt that because this man wouldn't be trying to sell us something he would be able to tell us whether the house is really suitable for what I'm thinking we could do with it. So finally I'm making progress. Though meanwhile the roof of the house we live in how is leaking, when I thought I had solved that problem.
This is the story of Pam and John; she in her early 50's and John is 62. Pam is a college professor. John taught at a local community college until diagnosed with Parkinson's in March 2008, then Lewy Body Dementia in April.

I don't know about the laws in your State, but in most States, calling yourself an architect, or saying you have practiced architecture is a criminal offense unless you are licensed to do so.
Just be wary of big claims. He may be fine, but just watch out. Before you go with any of his suggestions, you might post them, or email me, and we can discuss.
Posting will I think help everyone in a similar situation, but if we need to get vey specific, then email would probably be better.
Google the Americans with Disabilities Act and look for the Architectural Guidelines "ADAAG".
In the guidelines you will find space allocations for toilets and sinks, etc. for making them usable for those with disabilities. Although John is not in a wheelchair now, that will come, even if on a now and then basis.
The space allocations also consider room for a caregiver to assist with batheing and toileting. Look also at the ramp design requirements. Slope is important in being able to navagate when you are in a chair or just weak. Door handles, faucets all should be lever types that don't require a lot of effort and twisting to operate. As John looses his cognative abilities these minor little things might help him do for himself longer.
I don't intend to blow off this guy without knowing him, but just beware. Go look at the ADAAG and educate yourself a bit before you meet with him.
North Carolina also has their own accessibility code that has many more drawings and diagrams, making it much easier to understand. Your local library may have a copy. - July 30, 2008 at 9:10 AM
ADAAG doesn't really cover the special needs for many illnesses - especially those with memory loss or confusion. It's more of a coverage of space needs for wheelchairs, those assisting, etc - the physical aspects.
With some cognitive disorders, planning needs to understand placement of sinks, mirrors and toilets. Place the toilet near the door so the person can see the toilet as soon as he/she enters. Do not put the mirror near the door because that may distract them as they enter - a big reason that accidents still happen in the bathroom.
The room shouldn't be so big that someone assisting wouldn't be able to grab onto something in case of a problem. ADA and ADAAG guidelines don't address some of the every day problems. There's much more to consider, depending on the symptoms of the illness and the abilities of the caregiver.
Bathroom designs for nursing homes, assisted living and campus independent living needs to be somewhat universal, which is covered by ADAAG and ADA. Personal bathrooms in homes would best serve the users by considering their abilities. Codes will rule, but plan for cognitive disorder dysfunctions as well - something codes will never address because of the diversity of the illnesses and people in that respect. That's where an understanding of the future of the illness will make a difference for the designer. - July 30, 2008 at 1:23 PM

Pauline: This is the rural south--my ability to deal with good old boys is limited but sometimes they can be useful. Mostly I think I can learn a lot from him about the basic choices, and $500 or so seems reasonable for that even if we don't use his plan. I did hear from the certified aging in place specialist (who is a homebuilder) and he is willing to come and look at the house. So I will schedule that too.
Pearose: I've read just a little about design for dementia and I think that is particularly interesting, but so far no luck finding someone in the area. - July 31, 2008 at 9:15 PM
You know how to contact us if you need us. We can work off of plans and photos and a phone conversation to answer some questions and get the info back to your designer to input into the plans. Check his references. If he has that much experience, he may be a good person to work with on the project. - August 1, 2008 at 5:35 PM

The best review on the Internet; as per usual. Thanks. Well done to nVidia on the power consumption and I only hope the 580 makes the cards I'm interested in cheaper to buy!
Cards are pretty boss... but too expensive. I'll be just fine with my $480 CrossFired 6870s. (But if anyone feels generous, I'll take two 580s. )
Hey W1z, I think it would be cool in reviews like this to include some other Crossfire/SLi configuration for comparision as well. Like maybe in this one it would be nice to see two HD5970s in there to see how things compete(but I know this would be impossible if you don't have two HD5970s). Other than that, another great review!
Yes. A comparison with multicard 6870s, 6850s, and 460(1G and 768)s would provide more bang per buck and bang per watt information. Thanks for the review.
Sli GTX 580 and only 33 fps in Metro 2033 at 2560 res. $1000 for 33 fps. That game must be the shittest coded game in history. Its programmers should be shot.
Very much agree. They both have developers... Very nice review, extremely informative and detailed. Looks like the GTX 580 is an awesome card. Now I will wait and see what Cayman can do. I am leaning more towards Nvidia but then again we shall see. I keep hopping over the fence all the time.
I imagine like crysis everything is rendered in real time, which actually makes metro and crysis very very very well coded All those subtle effects the games have all add up you see. it makes them more life like, or more dynamic ( what ever effect they're after) but they do eat up resources. It's just a case of diminishing returns though, other games look nearly as good so people think bad coding. But it's just a case of people not well, I guess seeing all those subtle things!
It isn't shitty coding, it is the fact that they have actually used DX11 heavily, including heavy tessellation. The main problem is actually memory at that resolution, which is why if you look W1z had to drop down to 0xAA just to get usable results. Whenever a game pushes a huge amount of detail along with a huge amount of tessellation you are going to run into poor performance at extreme resolutions. I say the developers should be praised, because without people like them pushing the envolope of performance and demanding more from the hardware, we would see advances in hardware and we'd all be playing crappy DX9 console ports at 720p... How many GPUs doesn't matter to me. The two cards are priced similarly and perform similarly, so I'd be nice to see how they do when paired. Kind of like a "This is what $1000 buys your from nVidia, and this is what $1000 buys you from ATi." That is information that someone looking to put out $1000 might be interested in, IMO.
Once again, great thorough review. I'm sure driver improvement will have SLI performance doing much better. It is rather odd though that in Metro it does OK at 2560 but is severely crippled at 1920. I'm beginning to think even Cryostasis is far better optimized than Metro.
1 grand is a lot, but it's not a whole lot of money. It's less than 100USD per month, per year, and around 50-100USD per month electric depending on how you use them. This market is for serous gamers that just want to play games full out, or someone who only upgrades every few years. That's how I view the fastest of fast GPU market. 2 GPU vs 4 GPU it does not matter, because it's two cards on top of being almost at the same price point. I agree with newtekie
If someone develops a game that completely ignores the capability of the hardware available to the average person, then that is also shitty coding.
That is why there are lower settings in the game. If they forced you to play at the maximum settings, then they would be ignoring the capability of the hardware available to the average person. They are using all the feature sets available to them as much as possible, that is a good thing. What is the point of DX11 if it isn't used? Why still code games with DX9/10 when we have DX11 GPUs? That is essentially what you are wanting them to do, right? You don't want them to use DX11 to its fullest.
Show me where this game is playable at any resolution that anyone here wants to play at, without spending a $1000 on video cards. What is the point of arguing if you're going to ignore facts?
I have no problem playing it with a single $190 GTX460 and $50 Celeron at 1920x1080... One of us is ignorant of the facts, but it ain't me.

Was one of two people in hostel for night I was there so very quiet. Breakfast was 6euros but overpriced for eggs, cereal, tea, bread. Better to just walk over bridge and go to grocery store. 6euros will get you a much better breakfast spread unless you do not want to deal with it. Wifi only worked if you stood by door near hallway. When arrived didn't work and had to use lobby wifi until continual asking had wifi fixed. Bed was comfy, good space in room, affordable. Good stay.

I can't review the hostel area as we were upgraded to a hotel room when we arrived because the hostel was over-booked. The hotel area is very nice and the hostel is located inside the same building. It's very close to the city centre and has free parking on the street outside. The street is very quiet so there is no problem with cars being left overnight.

Chopard Page 1
Christina Hendricks Lost An $850K Bracelet At The Globes
We may have been preoccupied with the theatrical shoulder flourish on Christina Hendricks's red Romona Keveza gown at the Golden Globes, but the real drama had to do with her borrowed Chopard jewels. At some point during her red carpet tour of duty, Hendricks lost one of the two bracelets she wore to the awards. The cost of the piece? $850,000. Yikes.

He uses suspend strips or dots under the throat and rubber core sinkers on the front set of treble hooks to help achieve the desired result. He will start with a 1/8 ounce sinker on the front treble hook of the 4 ½-inch bait; if he decides on a larger lure he will go with a ¼-ounce weight. If the bait goes to the bottom when dropped in the cold water, he will take side cutters and trim some weight off the sinker.

Tigers Fall Short Against Seventh-ranked Lancers
August 30, 2008
August 30, 2008, Wheaton, Ill. - DePauw took a 1-0 lead into the second half against NAIA's seventh-ranked California Baptist, but the Lancers scored twice in the second half and claimed the 2-1 win at the Bob Baptista Invitational.
Stephanie Patton's goal at 29:58 on an assist from Katy Phillips gave DePauw a 1-0 lead before Jacquelyn Witz opened the second half with an assist from Jenna Oltmanns at 46:03 to tie the score. Lizzy Bendrick delivered the game-winner at 65:50 on Fabiola Dasilva's assist.
Cal Baptist outshot the Tigers 34-9 and held a 4-0 edge on corners. Brooke Shipley recorded 13 saves in over 79 minutes, while Lauren Palfrey had one. Emily Evanson finished with four stops for the Lancers.
DePauw returns to action on Friday, September 5, when it hosts Emory at 7 p.m.

AMD unveiled the first batch of Athlon X4 CPUs in the socket FM2 package, based on its latest Richland silicon. These chips stop short of being labeled APUs, for they lack integrated graphics. You need a discrete graphics card. Unlike its previous generation "Trinity" silicon-based Athlon X4 CPUs, AMD unveiled a few parts with high clock speeds, some even with unlocked base-clock multipliers, targeting consumers who want to build socket FM2-based gaming PCs, but don't intend to use the integrated graphics. At the top of the stack is the Athlon X4 760K Black Edition (AD760KWOHLBOX). This chip offers 3.80 GHz of clock speed, and 4.10 GHz maximum Turbo Core frequency. Despite its lack of the graphics core, its TDP is rated on par with the A10-6800K, at 100W. In its consumer-friendly PIB (processor-in-box) package, the X4-760K Black Edition is priced around US $135. A variant of this exact chip, which lacks unlocked BClk multiplier, is named just Athlon X4 760K (the "K" here can be misleading), and is priced around $100. AMD has other quad-core and dual-core Athlon parts based on the "Richland" silicon planned for later. If you put aside its industry-leading integrated graphics, "Richland" features two modules based on the "Piledriver" micro-architecture, with four x86-64 cores, 192 KB of total L1 cache, 4 MB of total L2 cache, a dual-channel DDR3 integrated memory controller with native support for DDR3-2133 MHz, and a PCI-Express gen 2.0 root complex. In its FM2 package, the chip supports FM2 motherboards based on AMD's A55, A75, and A85X FCH chipsets. Source: CPU World
They won't do that till they get the fab process sorted out. The next logical step is a chip with three modules and a 640 SP IGP. AMD is banking on GloFo to get 20 nm right. Then it can build APUs and CPUs on that node. High TC GPUs are better left to the expertise of TSMC.
These are "Athlon" model CPUs people - with no GPU section. Trinity and Richland models are APUs not CPUs. These models offer improved desktop performance over Trinity APUs at a good price, for those desiring to use descrete GPU cards. You save some $$$ on these CPUs that you can apply toward your GPU card. It's just another market segment niche. Some folks don't want to pay for an APU with IGP when they plan to use a descrete GPU. This will make those folks happy.
Socket AM3+ already has the FX-4xxx series, to put the Richland Athlon II X4 on AM3+ also would be to compete against itself. Hence, why FM2 was used.
No, all APUs with defective graphics cores becomes this. They are designed with FM2 in mind, not AM3+. I am also interested in 4350 vs 6800K, no one seems to be doing it?
The base and turbo speeds are actually lower than the A10-6800K (which is 4.1 base and 4.4 turbo)...so it won't have 'improved desktop performance' unless it overclocks way higher. But at least it's cheaper although only by a few dollars for the BE, the locked multiplier version for $100 actually seems like a better buy.
AMD's biggest problem in making a six-core/three-module APU with an even better IGP is not necessarily the TDP, but the memory bandwidth. The integrated memory controller performs very poorly in regards to actual bandwidth and I don't think it can feed both the CPU and GPU parts simultaneously well enough.
Very few people would buy fm2 just to get a six core when they are easily available with am3, but down the road the upgrade would be nice.
Personally, I would like to see what AMD initially had several years ago on their roadmap. Tighter coupling of the CPU cores to the GPU cores. I really would like to see another step made towards a heterogeneous CPU. That's me though. Honestly, I think the smart move would be to shrink the die and try to reduce power consumption. The smaller die would also give a little more room for more GPU horsepower. I don't think FM2 needs more cores. It would be nice, but it doesn't need it.

Several times replies to this post have mentioned that with type 2, there are horrible complications if it's not taken care of properly. And does the reverse hold true? If someone insisted he/she took care of the diabetes properly for years,but is suffering kidney failure, heart disease and strokes, is that still a sign we can judge that person as not really having a good history of care? What if Paula Deen admits next that she also has heart disease?
That's a good point as there are a lot of people without diabetes who have heart disease, kidney disease, strokes and other stuff. I think the neuropathy, retinopathy and amputations are skewed wildly towards people with both kinds of diabetes. I would think that it may tend a bit more towards T2 b/c of the peculiar manner in which the medical industry lets people sail along in the 140 range, where they can do damage, without coaching patients on attacking it aggressively?
Well, it seems to me that docs are sort of forced into watching T1s very carefully, because you can get into deep trouble really quickly. Plus there is definitely a social bias, from which docs are not immune, toward young, slender, attractive people and away from obese, older, and "unattractive". They are perceived as being uncooperative, but when you talk to obese people, most of them have hit their heads against the wall trying until they can't see through the blood. It's just that the simple admonition to lose weight and exercise is NOT very effective. And T2 meds are no picnic, either, so there is no easy way out, and both patients and docs get frustrated and give up.
I just read an article that said that if T2s are given good education in weekly sessions in the beginning, they meet goals far better than those whose docs say "see you in 6 months". That points to a definite onus on the medical profession, IMHO.
Picklebird, complications are a game of craps for both types. No one really knows why some people get complications and other don't -- all they know is that if you keep your A1c low and your BGs stable, you lower the odds. But it will always be a gamble. Ya pays yer money and takes yer chances -- and all you can do is try to make sure you have the best chances possible. Wish it weren't so.
When I weighed 275 lbs, I scoped out the docs "glamour pics" on the website @ the clinic and picked the heavier ones to go see. I give him a lot of credibility for 1) helping me a lot w/ my BG, despite "just" being a GP and 2) always saying "well, just like me, you need to lose weight, your're not quite morbidly obese, but you're close". I didn't really solicit a lot of help from him when I started to turn things around. I think that he probably thought I was nuts for sticking with R/NPH until 2008 but, once I saw the A1C going in the wrong direction and said "I want a pump" it was off to the Indian endo, figuring correctly that she would be easier to get in to see than the middle-aged white guy, "head of endocrinology". I can add how I choose doctors to my weird habits!
WOW AR! I had not idea that you had lost so much weight. You've been the active healthy eating guy here in my eyes -- I never even consdiered that this was a change from other behavior. Good for you!
Thanks! It wasn't so much "other behavior" as "more carbs"? I guess the exercise is there too. I think that's more to feel stronger and more balanced than it is to lose weight but the weight is certainly nice. It's much easier to run at 180 lbs than 235!

The University of Ulster (previously shortened to UU; Irish: Ollscoil Uladh,[3][4][5] Ulster Scots: Universitie o Ulstèr[6] or Varsitie o Ulster)[7] is a multi-campus, co-educational university located in Northern Ireland. It is the second largest university in Ireland, after the federal National University of Ireland. The university was established in 1968 as the New University of Ulster and can trace its roots back to 1845 when Magee College was established in Derry and 1849, when the School of Art and Design was inaugurated in Belfast. The university incorporated its four campuses in 1984 under the University of Ulster banner; these are located in Belfast, Coleraine (site of the administrative headquarters), Magee College in Derry, and Jordanstown. A fifth distance learning campus, Campus One, delivers online programmes; mainly at graduate level.
Ulster is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities,[8] the European University Association, Universities Ireland and Universities UK. High demand for places and a thriving development programme contributed to a record number of applications in 2004–05 to keep the University of Ulster in the top 10 of the UK's most popular universities.[9] The University of Ulster was shortlisted for the Sunday Times University of the Year award in 2001.
The university has one of the highest further study and/or employment rates in the UK, with 95% of graduates being in work or undertaking further study six months after they have completed their degree.[10] In the field of biomedical sciences, the University of Ulster obtained a 5* rating, as well as being ranked joint first in the UK, following the Research Assessment Exercises in 1996 and 2001. In the 2008 RAE 86% of research activity at the university was rated as being of international quality, with 20% being classified as world-leading. Of particular note are the submissions within Biomedical Sciences, the Institute of Nursing and Health Research[11] and Celtic Studies which were all ranked within the top three UK universities[10]
The New University of Ulster (NUU) incorporated Magee College founded in 1865 in Derry. Magee College was a college of the Royal University of Ireland from 1880 and later became associated with the University of Dublin (better known as Trinity College) when the Royal University was dissolved in 1908 and replaced by the National University of Ireland. In 1953 Magee College broke its links with Dublin and became Magee University College. It was hoped that this university college would become Northern Ireland's second university after The Queen's University of Belfast. However, this did not happen and instead it was subsumed into the New University, primarily as a result of the unwillingness of the Unionist government at Stormont to have the second university sited in overwhelmingly nationalist Derry, in which "The Troubles" were just beginning to break out. The decision caused an outcry at the time.[12] The university was built at Coleraine as part of the UK government's expansion of higher education in the 1960s. Coleraine today is the university's headquarters and main campus. Following a review of higher education in Northern Ireland under the chairmanship of Sir Henry Chilver in 1982 the direct-rule government decided to merge NUU with the Ulster Polytechnic to form the University of Ulster. The merger took effect on 1 October 1984. This was the first, and as of 2010, only merger in UK higher education whereby what is now called a plate glass university merged with what would now be a post-1992 university.
The university's course provision is the largest in Northern Ireland, covering arts, business, engineering, information technology, life and health sciences, management, and social sciences. Courses have a strong vocational element and the majority include a period of industrial or professional placement.
The university has a strong reputation for innovation. In order to create new pathways into higher education the University of Ulster initiated its Online Distance Learning (ODL) project called Campus One. The Campus One programme provides an alternative mode of study, with a range of courses available online to students all over the world. Campus One courses range from full postgraduate programmes, professional development and continuing development courses; through to short business-focused courses all offered over the Internet.
The university contributes a higher than national average to local research and development activity and has a strategic research focus. There is particularly strength in the field of biomedical sciences, and a Centre for Molecular Biosciences (located at Coleraine) is one of the major projects developed by the university. The Biomedical Sciences department obtained the highest possible 5* rating as well as being joint first in the UK, following the UK – wide Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in 1996. It was the only UK university to retain a 5* rating for biomedical sciences in the 2001 RAE - part of a performance that saw significant improvement and consolidation of the 1996 results. A 5* research rating was also awarded in the field of Celtic studies. The university performed well in the 2008 RAE.[13]
The university is a leading partner in the Northern Ireland Science Park development, with Science Park sites at the Coleraine and Magee campuses, and in Belfast. There are also Innovation Centres at Coleraine and Magee which provide incubation support to developing 'spin-out' and 'spin-in' companies.
Financial Restructuring[edit]
In autumn 2011 Vice-Chancellor Barnett announced a programme of financial restructuring with the aim of reducing the number of staff employed by the University from 3,150 to 3,000.[14] Staff at the University expressed concern about the proposed means and impact of the restructuring, citing "the use of the threat of compulsory redundancy to bully and intimidate staff" [15] and the belief that the University was "abdicating its responsibilities to the wider community that funds it".[16] In April 2012, the UU branch of the University and College Union (UCU) declared a formal dispute with university management over its implementation of the restructuring, stating that the recourse to "premature deadlines and unwarranted threats of compulsory redundancy" was "unreasonable as well as contrary to University policy and corporate goals".[17]
The faculties of the university (and the dean of each faculty listed after), are:
- Faculty of Arts, Professor Pól Ó Dochartaigh
- Faculty of Art, Design and the Built Environment, Professor Ian Montgomery
- Faculty of Computing and Engineering, Professor Richard Millar
- Faculty of Life and Health Sciences, Professor Carol Curran
- Faculty of Social Sciences, Professor Paul Carmichael"
- Ulster Business School, Professor Marie McHugh
The university currently maintains five sites in Northern Ireland, as well as one "online" site. In February 2009 the university announced the movement of many courses from the Jordanstown campus to the main Belfast campus and a consolidation of student numbers at Coleraine and the reuse of university grounds for a business park.[18]
The Coleraine campus (UUC) is the administration headquarters of the University and is the most traditional in outlook, with a focus on science and the humanities. The traditional focus is primarily as a result of it always being a university campus as opposed to the more vocational type courses offered at the polytechnic at Jordanstown. The internationally acclaimed School of Biomedical Science is based at Coleraine as is the Northern Ireland Centre for Food and Health (NICHE).The Coleraine campus also hosts the only optometry school in Northern Ireland and is indeed one of only two on the island of Ireland. In 2009 the University launched a new Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) course at Coleraine. The Coleraine campus includes the Riverside Theatre, the third-largest professional theatre in Northern Ireland. In July of 2011, in cooperation with Zhejiang University of Media and Communications (ZUMC), The Confucius Institute at the University of Ulster (CIUU) was developed. The Confucius Institute is part of a network of 322 institutes in over 50 countries which promote and teach Chinese language and culture and facilitate cultural exchanges aimed at fostering trade links with China. [19] The campus is situated on the banks of the River Bann with views to the North Coast and County Donegal hills.
Portrush Site[edit]
The Portrush site was part of the Coleraine Campus and home to the School of Hotel, Leisure and Tourism. Portrush is a town east of Coleraine on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. The site closed in 2008 and courses were relocated to the Coleraine and the newly developed Belfast campuses.
The Jordanstown campus (UUJ) is located in Jordanstown, 7 miles outside Belfast and concentrates on engineering, health and social science, and is the home of the highly successful Ulster Business School. The 114-acre (0.461 km2) Jordanstown campus is set in a leafy suburb approximately seven miles (11 km) from Belfast city centre and situated at the foot of the Antrim Hills overlooking Belfast Lough. UUJ is home to the Sports Institute for Northern Ireland and has a range of Sports facilities including a new high performance centre. The Buildings are mostly situated around a central Mall with on-site stores and services. A number of high-demand undergraduate courses at UUJ have extremely high entry requirements such as Physiotherapy, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiography, Speech and Language Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Clinical Physiology, Communication Advertising and Marketing (CAM), Law, Sport and Exercise Science/Sports Studies.
The Magee campus (UUM) in Derry City is a mixture of historic and new buildings in a Victorian residential area of the city. It was named after Martha Magee and opened in 1865 as a Presbyterian Christian arts and theological college.[20] Today, it has no religious affiliation and provides a broad range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in disciplines ranging from computer science, computer games and robotics to drama to psychology and nursing, as well as research excellence[21] with the Intelligent Systems Research Centre located there. The campus is within walking distance to the shopping and entertainment districts and is serviced by transport links. Since 1984, development of the university has focused on the expansion of the Magee campus.[20]
The Belfast campus is the home of the University's Belfast School of Art, founded in 1849 and completed major redevelopment in 2008. The Building is situated in the Cathedral Quarter of the City. This is becoming a fashionable area of the city which has been developing rapidly in recent years. There are many social and cultural activities in Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland. Southern Belfast, where most student accommodations are found, has many restaurants, pubs, theatres and shops. Students at the Belfast campus can use the fine recreation facilities at the larger Jordanstown campus. Transportation between the two sites is quick and frequent. Total enrolment: 1,100 students.
Ballyronan, Ballymaguigan[edit]
The university had a former base named, 'The University of Ulster Freshwater Laboratory' in a small townland called Ballymaguigan in the village of Ballyronan, outside the town of Magherafelt in County Londonderry. The Freshwater Laboratory, although not a campus was a base of the university and consisted of on-campus accommodation, classrooms and testing labs. Courses offered were all based on studying agriculture, wildlife in Lough Neagh, water testing and other aquatic courses. The base closed about ten years ago, and though still standing, is in a run down state and now owned by Magherafelt District Council. The remaining site is located on the edge of Lough Neagh, along the Point Road in Ballymaguigan. The area today has become popular with the locals for camping, fishing and boating.
Campus One[edit]
Campus One, the Virtual Campus of the university, was launched on 8 October 2001.[23] It represents a revolutionary new route to learning via the World Wide Web and was selected by the European Commission to deliver World's First Higher Educational Programme in Hydrogen Safety Engineering. It developed the world's first ever fully on-line Masters programme in biomedical sciences. Campus One, a 'University at Your Fingertips', provides an online portal through which all of the university's e-learning courses are made available on a global scale. The virtual campus incorporates existing e-learning courses with new postgraduate and undergraduate programmes, all of which can be accessed and completed via Campus One from anywhere in the world. Campus One is the first e-learning network of its kind in the UK and Ireland, and has been developed in association with academic partners in the USA and Hong Kong, ensuring its e-learning programmes have global reach and relevance.
