New SkyPrint service available for Fall 2013
August 2, 2013
Information Technology (IT) is excited to announce the availability of SkyPrint, an easy-to-use printing solution for students, employees, and campus visitors that will be available in multiple convenient locations across campus!
More information about SkyPrint at SKY.EMPORIA.EDU!
To help reduce waste, promote GREENER printing practices, AND increase the convenience and functionality of student printing at Emporia State, we are proud to introduce SkyPrint! Here are a few of the highlights about this great new service:
- You can now print from your own devices! Whether you are on or off campus, you can easily upload your documents to SkyPrint from your personal device, go to one of the conveniently located SkyPrint release stations on campus, and print your job!
- For the initial Fall 2013 release of SkyPrint, there will be SIX (6) SkyPrint Release Station kiosks across campus. We plan to expand this service to additional locations based on student feedback throughout the Fall 2013/Spring 2014 school year.
- The first TWO (2) SkyPrint Release Station kiosks will be installed in William Allen White Library on August 5, 2013! The remaining SkyPrint stations will be installed in Twin Towers, the Memorial Union, the Richel Learning Space in Cremer Hall, and the Nursing Library in Cora Miller Hall within the first few weeks of the Fall 2013 semester.
- Each enrolled student will automatically start with 100 FREE pages (or up to 200 if you duplex!) in their SkyPrint account at the beginning of the Fall 2013 semester. SkyPrint costs $0.08 per sheet of paper. Please note that this is per sheet of paper and not per page. That means you can get more bang for your buck if you duplex (print front-and-back) your print jobs!
- Need to print more? That's OK! You can easily add funds to your SkyPrint account using either the online payment transfer method (when logged into the SkyPrint system) or by purchasing a "SkyPrint Credits" redemption code.
For more information about this great new service, please visit HTTP://SKY.EMPORIA.EDU or contact the IT Help Desk. IT Help Desk contact information, including operating hours, locations, and helpful FAQs can be found on the web at http://www.emporia.edu/IT.

According to Naomi Gerstel and Natalia Sarkisian, "marriage diminishes ties to relatives, neighbors, and friends."
Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir always expressed opposition to marriage. "Marriage, understood existentially, proposes to join two free selves into one heading, thus denying the freedom, the complete foundation, of each self".
The feminist view, "The institution of marriage is the chief vehicle for the perpetuation of the oppression of women; it is through the role of wife that the subjugation of women is maintained."
Sheila Cronan claims that "freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage" and points to historical, legal and social inequalities of wedding, family life and divorce.
Some men's rights writers say that marriage is unfavourable to men, particularly the financial consequences of divorce. Father's rights advocates claim that there is a continuing societal bias favoring women as custodial parents in the face of "no-fault" divorce laws and is unjust to men when marriages fail.
There is no social reason for marriage. Just excuses. For their own mental and physical health gay's should reject the institution of marriage en-mass. Far better cohabitant contracts can be written outside of the courts.

Occupy Wall Street: An Overview
Now that they're growing, spreading and getting some more serious attention, here's a couple of news articles and blog posts that I thought were worthwhile to get some insight into how the Occupy Wall Street movement developed, what the background is, and what they seem to express. There's also some stuff that compares them to the Tea Party (as a progressive variant, of course), and people speculating at how this might help Obama and the Democratic Party. In short, it provides some perspectives that might be interesting or useful.
The Occupy Wall Street protests, for their part, shine a spotlight on an industry that has attracted mass disgust yet escaped accountability. Almost everybody hates Wall Street, but the anger at Wall Street was deflected to the financial bailout, and thereby (even though it preceded him) to Obama. In a development that may have appeared shocking three years ago, Wall Street has resumed its place of privilege in Washington. Politicians are courting the financial industry, its barons speaking out with pre-crisis confidence. The Republican Party has openly pledged to kill the Dodd–Frank regulations.
The protests, for all this incoherence, restore Wall Street to a central place in the economic narrative. Here is the financial industry, not just as recipient of taxpayer funds but as originator and aggravator of the crisis. The protests may not have an agenda, but they do not need an agenda other than to return political focus onto Wall Street.
The larger role of the protests, should they continue, ought to be to reestablish the terms of the political debate. Historically, liberalism best succeeds when compared against a radical alternative. In the thirties and sixties, fear of extremism and mob violence made business elites eager to accept liberal compromise designed to preserve the system. Since 2009, the question of how to respond to the economy has been framed as a debate between meliorative liberalism and vicious reaction. In this climate, Wall Street has been howling about Obama's mild verbal scolding of the industry, his plans to impose some measure of regulation upon it, and ever-so-slightly raise the tax levels of the very rich.
The protests can usefully re-center the debate. When Wall Street CEOs are expressing even tepid fear for their personal safety, terms like "class warfare" might start to be reserved for more stringent measures than the return of Clinton-era tax rates
Ezra Klein in the Washington Post:
It's not the arrests that convinced me that "Occupy Wall Street" was worth covering seriously. Nor was it their press strategy, which largely consisted of tweeting journalists to cover a small protest that couldn't say what, exactly, it hoped to achieve. It was a Tumblr called, "We Are The 99 Percent," and all it's doing is posting grainy pictures of people holding handwritten signs telling their stories, one after the other.
These are not rants against the system. They're not anarchist manifestos. They're not calls for a revolution. They're small stories of people who played by the rules, did what they were told, and now have nothing to show for it. Or, worse, they have tens of thousands in debt to show for it.
Let's be clear. This isn't really the 99 percent. If you're in the 85th percentile, for instance, your household is making more than $100,000, and you're probably doing okay. If you're in the 95th percentile, your household is making more than $150,000. But then, these protests really aren't about Wall Street, either. There's not a lot of evidence that these people want a class war, or even particularly punitive measures on the rich. The only thing that's clear from their missives is that they want the economy to start working for them, too.
But you look around and the reality is not everyone is suffering. Wall Street caused this mess, and the government paid off their debts and helped them rake in record profits in recent years. The top 1 percent account for 24 percent of the nation's income and 40 percent of its wealth. There are a lot of people who don't seem to be doing everything they're supposed to do, and it seems to be working out just fine for them.
But this is why I'm taking Occupy Wall Street — or, perhaps more specifically, the 'We Are The 99 Percent' movement — seriously. There are a lot of people who are getting an unusually raw deal right now. There is a small group of people who are getting an unusually good deal right now. That doesn't sound to me like a stable equilibrium.
The organizers of Occupy Wall Street are fighting to upend the system. But what gives their movement the potential for power and potency is the masses who just want the system to work the way they were promised it would work. It's not that 99 percent of Americans are really struggling. It's not that 99 percent of Americans want a revolution. It's that 99 percent of Americans sense that the fundamental bargain of our economy — work hard, play by the rules, get ahead — has been broken, and they want to see it restored.
I'm embarrassed to admit my first reaction to Occupy Wall Street was cynicism. Along with some other folks on Twitter when it began Sept. 17, I wondered aloud why it started on a Saturday, when Wall Street was quiet. I couldn't find a list of its goals. Visiting New York a few days later, I walked along Wall Street in the rain trying to find protesters, but though there were barricades all along that dark canyon, and cops everywhere, nobody was protesting; I later saw a few dozen people among tents at Liberty Plaza, but by that time I was running to catch my plane home.
The next day, the New York Police Department cruelly pepper-sprayed female protesters, and suddenly the movement came alive. Ever since, I've been struck by the good sense the protesters have used in dealing with the police (in contrast with the poor sense of some of the cops): They are not making them the enemy. In fact, as 700 people were being arrested on the Brooklyn Bridge on Saturday, they were chanting at the cops: "We're fighting for your pensions!" It didn't keep the protesters from getting arrested, but it kept them on the moral and political high ground.
The over-reaction of the police, the restraint of the demonstrators and the irresistible enthusiasm of the Occupy Wall Street crowd now has powerful allies streaming to support the movement. On Wednesday evening, major New York unions, including SEIU, the American Federation of Teachers and the Transit Workers Union, will join what is likely to be the biggest protest yet. TWU head John Samuelsen filed a federal injunction to stop the police from using city buses to transport protesters, the way they did on Saturday. "We intend to stop the NYPD from pressing our people into service to transport people who shouldn't have been arrested in the first place," Samuelsen told the New York Daily News.
MoveOn is backing the expanded Oct. 5 Wall Street protest, and national union leaders, including the AFL-CIO's Richard Trumka, have endorsed the movement. Trumka's "been publicly supportive and I know a number of local unions are getting directly involved," says AFL-CIO spokesman Josh Goldstein. "As for our direct involvement, we want this to continue in the organic way it has. How we can be supportive and not overshadow it is important." The federation's executive board will vote Wednesday on whether to make a formal endorsement.
Even some politicians are beginning to express support for the demonstration. The co-chairs of the House Progressive Caucus, Raul Grijalva and Rep. Keith Ellison, released a statement supporting it on Tuesday. "We have been inspired by the growing grassroots movements on Wall Street and across the country," the pair wrote. "We join the calls for corporate accountability and expanded middle-class opportunity." Asked whether President Obama is following the protests, press secretary Jay Carney said he was sure he was, although they hadn't spoken about it. Then he added, "to the extent that people are frustrated with the economic situation, we understand." Don't expect more from the White House, but it's almost certain other liberal Democrats will begin to speak out to support Occupy Wall Street, unless the Wednesday protest goes awry.
Yes, young people are on the front lines of protest again, but this time, they're more intrinsically sympathetic, and emblematic of what's gone wrong in our country. Youth unemployment is the highest in decades. Only 55 percent of Americans aged 16 to 29 are employed today, compared to 67 percent in 2000. A third to a half of African-American youth, depending on the under-30 subgroup examined, is unemployed. College educated students are leaving with unprecedented levels of debt; about 15 percent of student loans are currently in default. On the movement Tumblr blog, "We are the 99 percent" – the 99 percent of the country left out of the prosperity monopolized by the top 1 percent – the voices and photos of unemployed and underemployed young people are some of the most riveting.
Political action on the ground can (…) lead to increased presence at the polls. The Tea Party mobilized so many voters because of its activism prior to the 2010 mid-terms. Asking a political group to go back in time to get voters to the polls is absurd. Telling people to just shut up and quietly vote for one of the two parties is to misunderstand democracy. It's more than just voting.
Furthermore, as Matt Yglesias convincingly argued, the lack of a mobilized left and a mobilized youth movement is largely the fault of Democratic leadership, including president Obama. Matt writes, that in light of the Occupy Wall Street protests "it's hard not to be reminded of the lost opportunity to mobilize a left-wing popular movement back in the winter of 2008-2009 and the spring of 2009. That was a time when Congress was psychologically prepared to address the issues of joblessness, the availability of health care and education, and the ecological sustainability of the global economy."
Writing off protesters because they're young, because they weren't politically active before, or because their demographic didn't hit the polls as hard as the already-organized conservative base is really off-base.
This sort of condescending nonsense was hurled at the Tea Party. That movement has effectively pushed the entire national conversation the right, and the Republican party along with it. I respect the activism and drive that they drummed up to achieve that. They didn't do it by just voting either.
From a really inspiring interview with one of the movement's initiators at Salon:
After Tunisia and Egypt, we were mightily inspired by the fact that a few smart people using Facebook and Twitter can put out calls and suddenly get huge numbers of people to get out into the streets and start giving vent to their anger. And then we keep on looking at the sorry state of the political left in the United States and how the Tea Party is passionately strutting their stuff while the left is sort of hiding somewhere. We felt that there was a real potential for a Tahrir moment in America because a) the political left needs it and b) because people are losing their jobs, people are losing their houses, and young people cannot find a job. We felt that the people who gave us this mess — the financial fraudsters on Wall Street — haven't even been brought to justice yet. We felt this was the right moment to instigate something.
We are not just inspired by what happened in the Arab Spring recently, we are students of the Situationist movement. Those are the people who gave birth to what many people think was the first global revolution back in 1968 when some uprisings in Paris suddenly inspired uprisings all over the world. All of a sudden universities and cities were exploding. This was done by a small group of people, the Situationists, who were like the philosophical backbone of the movement. One of the key guys was Guy Debord, who wrote "The Society of the Spectacle." The idea is that if you have a very powerful meme — a very powerful idea — and the moment is ripe, then that is enough to ignite a revolution. This is the background that we come out of.
1968 was more of a cultural kind of revolution. This time I think it's much more serious. We're in an economic crisis, an ecological crisis, living in a sort of apocalyptic world, and the young people realize they don't really have a viable future to look forward to. This movement that's beginning now could well be the second global revolution that we've been dreaming about for the last half a century.
Originally we thought that the idea of one demand was very important. There's been a debate going on between the one-demand vision and this other vision that is playing itself out right now on Wall Street. I think it's a wonderful debate and there are good pointers on both sides. Currently this leaderless, demandless movement — that is still growing in leaps and bounds — I think it is fine the way it is. After these assemblies have been conducted and debates have been had in cities all around America, demands will emerge. These demands will be specific things like reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act or a 1 percent tax on financial transactions or the banning of high-frequency trading. We will get into specifics, just give us time.
The political left has always had problems with this. All my life I've been sitting in meetings where loony guys get up and talk, and eventually very little happens. This is the kind of weight that is dragging the political left down. We don't seem to have the clarity of vision that for example the Tea Party has. This may be our undoing again. This whole movement may fizzle out in a bunch of loony lefty kind of bullshit.
Then again, at the same time, I've been in daily touch with dozens and dozens of people in cities all around the world who are involved in this. And I have a feeling that because of the Internet and a different kind of mentality that young people have, a horizontal way of thinking about things, this movement may not just come up with some really good demands and put incredible people pressure on our politicians, but a more beautiful thing may come out of this movement: a new model of democracy, a new model of how activism can work, of how the people can have a radical democracy and have some of their demands met. This new model may well be a new kind of a horizontal thing that in some strange way works like the Internet works.

I had HBO go on my boxee box last week. I went to try it yesterday and it's gone! I looked at the HBO go website and its says nothing about boxee support, just roku. Anyone have anymore info?
Right? I registered to say the same thing, I was running HBO Go on my Boxee fine for the last couple of months and it just disappeared - I had it as a Favorite and now it's MIA from there and my full app list?!?
Bumping this since I too have seen HBO Go disappear without a peep from the folks at Boxee.
Gone for me too. What gives? I use this app regularly, so to not having it cripples my Boxee. Can someone from Boxee please give an explanation here??
The "app" was submitted to Boxee by someone
other than HBO as a pointer to their HTML 5 app. We've taken down the
current app, but you can still access it via our web browser and bookmark it.
HBO GO shouldn't require flash if you can get to the HTML 5 version of their website/offering.
(And, there isn't a version of Adobe Flash available for the Boxee Box anymore, please see the Known / Common Issues post near the top of the forum section)

Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has told investigators his older brother Tamerlan was the driving force behind last week's attack and that no international terrorist groups were behind them, a U.S. government source said Monday.
Preliminary interviews with Tsarnaev indicate the two brothers fit the classification of self-radicalized jihadists, the source said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a Boston hospital, has said his brother -- who was killed early Friday -- wanted to defend Islam from attack, according to the source.
The government source cautioned that the interviews were preliminary, and that Tsarnaev's account needs to be checked out and followed up on by investigators.
And a federal law enforcement official told CNN that while investigators have seen nothing yet to indicate the suspects were working with anyone else, a lot of work remains before they can say confidently that no others were involved. That official would not comment on any motive or specifics on what Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has communicated to officials.
The 19-year-old has been charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction resulting in death, and one count of malicious destruction of property by means of an explosive device resulting in death. He was heavily sedated and on a ventilator at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, but was "alert, mentally competent and lucid" during the brief initial court appearance at his bedside on Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler found.
During the hearing, Tsarnaev communicated mostly by nodding his head, though he once answered "No" when Bowler asked him if he could afford a lawyer, according to a transcript of the proceeding. A public defender was appointed to represent him.
Investigators have been asking Tsarnaev whether there are more bombs, explosives caches or weapons beyond those already found by police, and if anyone else was involved in the attacks, a source with first-hand knowledge of the investigation told CNN. Investigators are going into Tsarnaev's room every few hours to ask questions in the presence of doctors, the source said.
Federal agents at first questioned Tsarnaev without reading him his Miranda rights, under an exception to the rule invoked when authorities believe there is an imminent public safety threat, a Justice Department official said over the weekend. But by the time of the hospital room proceeding, government sources said he had been read his rights, and Bowler reviewed those with him again Monday.
Bowler scheduled a probable cause hearing for May 30.
Tsarnaev had been shot in the head, neck, legs and one hand, according to an FBI affidavit supporting the charges. He had lost a lot of blood and may have hearing loss from two flash-bang devices used to draw him out of the boat, the source said.
It wasn't clear whether Tsarnaev was wounded during his capture Friday night or in an earlier shootout with police that left his 26-year-old brother dead. Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said the brothers -- armed with handguns and explosives -- apparently were planning another attack before the shootout disrupted their efforts.
"I believe that the only reason that someone would have those in their possession was to further attack people and cause more death and destruction," Davis said on CNN's "Starting Point" Monday.
Investigators are also trying to determine whether anyone else was involved in the bombings. But Davis, speaking Sunday to CNN's Don Lemon, said that he was confident that the brothers were "the two major actors in the violence that occurred."
"I told the people of Boston that they can rest easily, that the two people who were committing these vicious attacks are either dead or arrested, and I still believe that," he said.
Meanwhile, after a week of combing the downtown thoroughfare where the bombs went off for evidence, federal authorities handed control of Boylston Street back to the city. But the blocks around the bomb sites remain closed to the public while Boston officials clean up the area and make sure the buildings are safe to occupy.
"This area will be opened up to businesses over the next few hours, and then the people will be back here in a day or so," Davis said. "And they will be walking up and down this street, and the terrorists will understand that they can not keep us down."
A police honor guard, accompanied by a bagpiper, lowered the flag that had flown at the finish line of last week's marathon and presented it to Mayor Thomas Menino to mark the occasion. Shortly afterward, workers in bright yellow suits began hosing down and scrubbing the sidewalks around the second bomb site.
Among the pieces of evidence collected from Boylston Street during the past week was a tree that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev may have leaned against before the bombing, according to a source who receives regular intelligence briefings on the Boston bombings. The source said the tree -- located at the site of the second blast -- was removed along with the surrounding grate, where the explosive device's circuit board was found.
White House: No 'enemy combatant' status
The decision to charge Tsarnaev in civilian court put an end to speculation that he would be charged as an enemy combatant, a designation sometimes used against terrorists. White House spokesman Jay Carney said that Tsarnaev is a naturalized U.S. citizen and cannot be tried by a military commission.

Dr Martens continue to dominate the scene, and this latest reinterpretation of a classic makes for welcoming news. By applying a 'hair on' ox-hide material to the iconic eight-hole Pascal Boot this makes for a distinctive yet subdued look. Sourced from the Vincenza Pelli tannery in Italy the upper is produced of premium leather materials adding superior quality. Completing the design is the tonal stitching and laces, providing a more refined look supplementing the all black upper.

Interview with Julian Reiss, author of Philosophy of Economics: A Contemporary Introduction
In recent years, certain economic realities—the financial crisis, for example—have challenged the assumptions, methods, and models economists have used to interpret empirically observable facts that make up "the economy". Philosophy of Economics: A Contemporary Introduction by Julian Reiss (April 2013) introduces readers to the field in which many of those challenges are now being articulated. Questions of ethics, of the nature of human rationality when faced with economic decision-making, and of the verifiability of economic models are all now being asked anew about economic practices and decisions. This interview hopes to open those questions to all curious readers. Click here to read the full Q&A.

Comodo CEO: PC Diversity Is Good, Needn't Cost More
Jersey City, N.J.
"Some of my best friends use Macs," said Melih Abdulhayoglu. "Diversity is good. We can all get along, and accommodating both doesn't have to cost more."

The CEO of Comodo, a leader in Internet security, spoke about a divisive broadcast on CNBC's On the Money on April 17, pitting the users of PCs against those of the Apple Mac. Blogger Sam Symons excited hundreds of comments on the issue on his blog, neowin.net.

On the broadcast, CNBC's Jim Goldman claimed that over time PCs were more expensive than Macs. PC owners would have to buy software, he claimed, that Mac owners didn't need.

Among the costs Goldman listed were Norton Anti-Virus at $50/year and a "Geek Squad Visit" at $129.

"Yes, every PC should have malware protection. But, no, protection does not need to cost hundreds of dollars. Or even a penny. The award-winning Comodo Internet Security suite is available free for PC users all around the world," said Abdulhayoglu.

"And yes, some PC owners may want to call in in-person technical support. But there are cost-effective alternatives out there, including Comodo Security Solutions' LivePCSupport, an online service offering unlimited chat-based technical support."

"Yes, PC owners can spend as much as Jim (Goldman) spells out, but they don't have to," he said. "With ingenuity and thrift they can have security and support for $39 a year."

"Diversity makes us stronger. The world should accommodate both PCs and Macs without having to count the cost."

Division of Program Coordination, Planning, and Strategic Initiatives (DPCPSI)
The new NIH Director's Early Independence Award (EIA) program is designed to help exceptional junior investigators leapfrog over traditional post-doctoral training and move into independent academic positions at U.S. institutions, directly upon completion of their graduate research degrees.
The NIH expects to issue up to 10 awards in fall 2011. To apply for these awards, outstanding junior investigators must identify a host institution. Alternatively, institutions may actively recruit exceptional junior scientists to apply for these positions. These awards will be very selective, and each institution may only submit up to two applications. EIA recipients will receive up to $250,000 in direct costs per year for up to five years for research that complements and enhances an institution's research program.
The Funding Opportunity Announcement may be found at http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-10-019.html
The deadline for submitting Early Independence Award applications is January 21, 2011. Letters of intent are due December 21, 2010..
Tags: Welcome
Q: Hi, I would like to compete for the DP5 award, as I will defend my PhD thesis by March 2011. My question is in reference to the "highly productive" description of a good candidate for this award. I currently have only 2 publications, neither of those as first author, and am submitting 3 manuscripts as I complete my dissertation. It is unfortunate that the productivity and "success" of doctoral students are largely determined by the support of their research mentor(s), and may not truly reflect the actual capabilities of the students, themselves. It seems the very spirit of this particular award recognizes innovation and ambition in a new researcher can be hampered by the inability of that researcher to make important decisions regarding the research. If an ambitious candidate with a relatively weak publication history can demonstrate strong institutional support and present a creative and feasible research proposal, how badly will this candidate suffer competitive disadvantage due to paucity of publications accumulated as a student? A strong candidate is one who has outstanding capacity and drive to pursue independent research. The reviewers will appreciate that not all outstanding candidates will have had the opportunity to amass a stellar publication record and that a stellar publication record, in itself, does not necessarily indicate that candidate has the necessary qualities to be an independent researcher. Therefore, the reviewers will also use other information, such as the content of the reference letters, to assess the qualities of the candidate.
Tags: Candidate Qualifications
Q: Hi, I have been chosen by my host institution as a candidate to compete for DP5 award. I have a question regarding the proposal. Is the requirement for preliminary data in the proposal similar to that for other NIH proposals, like R01/R21? I am considering to explore a new subject if I am awarded, so I can only provide minimal preliminary data in the proposal...Will this be a disadvantage?The expectations for preliminary data are less than that for traditional R01 applications. The reviewers will understand that the candidates have recently completed or will soon complete their doctoral degree/clinical residency and so will not have had the opportunity to amass large amounts of supporting data. Particular emphasis in review of applications will be given to the strengths and potential of the candidate, as well as the strengths (available instrumentation, research infrastructure, existing scientific expertise, etc.) and commitment of the host institution to the candidate. By the way, though the expectations for preliminary results in a conventional R01 may seem high, they are not quite at the level of having half of the proposed research ready for publication.
Q: Could you describe the differences between the early independence award and the K-award and how the goals of the two programs differ A: The Early Independence Award (DP5) program has a very specific objective, which is to identify and support those exceptional individuals who would benefit by having an independent research position directly after completion of the terminal doctorate or clinical residency. It is not directed towards the large majority of young researchers who would be better served by doing a post-doctoral or clinical fellowship. The K-Awards are career development awards that serve a variety of purposes ranging from support of junior scientists during the transition to an independent position to support of senior scientists who wish to have "protected" time to mentor junior scientists. The different NIH institutes may also use the same K -Award for different specific objectives. To find which one may be most appropriate for you, consult the K-Award kiosk at http://grants.nih.gov/training/careerdevelopmentawards.htm and the Career Award Wizard at http://grants.nih.gov/training/kwizard/index.htm. Many of the K-Awards for junior scientists require a particular mentor to be specified, seek individuals with particular backgrounds, and expect post-doctoral training.
Tags: EIA Versus K-Awards
Q: We are in the medical school affiliated with a large university. Will we be allowed to submit two applications from the medical school, or will our entire university organization be allowed to submit only two applications?
A: Each component of an institution having a distinct DUNS (Data Universal Numbering System) number will be able to submit two applications. The DUNS number provides a unique identifier of business entities and is used by NIH to distinguish independent applicant organizations. Your medical school has a distinct DUNS number and so will be able to submit applications independently of your other university entities.
Number of Applications Per Institution
Q: Do you have any recommendations how/where I should look for potential hosting institutions?
A: Each institution can submit only up to two applications. Therefore, many institutions probably will have internal competitions to determine which two applications to send forward. Several institutions have posted their internal competition process online and these may be found through internet searches. In addition, you may wish to contact institutions where you feel your own research would complement and enhance existing research strengths. Appropriate initial points of contact about research area suitability would be deans of research (or equivalents) or department chairs. A reasonable initial point of inquiry about any internal competition would be the institution's office of sponsored research (or equivalent).
Tags: Finding A Host Institution
Q: Are there any special budgetary provisions, such as minimum or maximum P.I. effort to be supported by the award?
A: There are no special budgetary provisions.
Tags: Budgetary Considerations
Q: May a P.I. have collaborations with other institutions during the award period? Should those be defined during the application process?
A: Yes, the P.I. may have collaborations with other institutions during the award period. It may be good to indicate such collaborations in the application to address anticipated concerns about expertise. However, it should be clear in the application that the candidate is the intellectual driving force for the project.
Tags: Collaborations
Q: I am interested in applying for the Early Independence Award (DP5), since I obtained my Ph.D. six months ago. Before applying, I would be interested in obtaining some more information about the award. Although the application is submitted via the eligible institution where the P.I. will initially establish his/her lab, can the award be transferred to another institution if the P.I. relocates (i.e., due to career reasons, tenure-track position)? A: The Early Independence Award places an unusual emphasis on the interactions between the investigator and the host institution. Moreover, as with all NIH grants, the actual grantee is the institution and not the investigator. Therefore, though it is possible in principle to change institutions, the original institution must be willing to relinquish the award to the new institution and the new institution must provide satisfactory documentation to NIH staff that it will provide the necessary supportive environment to the investigator.
Tags: Award Transfer
Q: I am wondering if I would be eligible to apply for this award if I am within 12 months of fellowship completion (2 years of training after medical residency), or is the award strictly for those who are within 12 months of residency?
A: For this program, only residency is being considered for eligibility. Therefore, unfortunately, you would not be eligible since you completed your residence more than 12 months prior to application submission. You may wish to consider other funding opportunities, such as the NIH K-Awards (http://grants.nih.gov/training/careerdevelopmentawards.htm).

Unexpected Antarctica
Far from being a wasteland of ice and snow, the world's most remote region is alive with history, color and life
- By Andrew Curry
- Smithsonian magazine, September 2004, Subscribe
Rosemarie Keough almost died taking a penguin's picture. Camped on Antarctic sea ice with a small expedition of adventurers and photographers, she loaded film into three cameras and hiked half a mile in a snowstorm to capture a colony of emperor penguins. Then everything around her turned the same flat, featureless shade of white—the sky, the ground and the driving snow in front of her eyes. The line of red flags she needed to guide her back to the expedition's tents had vanished. "A total whiteout," she recalls. The 45-year-old photographer faced a stark choice: "Do you head out to where the pole line should be, knowing if you miss it you'll wander until you freeze to death? Or do you stay put and hope someone comes to get you?" She chose the comfort of another living being, crouching next to the nearest penguin for several hours until the expedition leader finally rescued her.
That was just one of the risks that she and her husband, Pat Keough, 59, who is also a photographer, willingly shouldered to capture the raw beauty of that mysterious land and its hardy creatures. From 1999 to 2001, they traveled to Antarctica for two austral summers—between November and March, when the South Pole gets constant sunlight and warms to a balmy -30 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Their pictures, collected in Antarctica (Nahanni Productions Inc), a hand-bound, limited-edition art book, are a counterintuitive vision: far from being a massive, sterile ice cube, the continent and its shores and seas are remarkably colorful. "Sunsets and sunrises seem to go on forever, icebergs turn every color in the rainbow," Pat Keough says. "Snow algae will turn a whole ice cap watermelon pink for hundreds of acres."
Photography within the Antarctic Circle is a challenge. "It's easy taking photos when the temperature isn't below -30 and the wind isn't above 15 knots," Rosemarie Keough says. "But in blizzard conditions, you can't change film or lenses. Snow an inch and a half thick gets encrusted on the camera, and apertures can freeze." The couple, who have been nature and travel photographers for 20 years and live in Salt Spring Island, Canada, were doused by frigid waves while shooting from the decks of storm-tossed icebreakers; they used their tripods to fend off angry skua birds on island beaches; and they sometimes spent long hours on sea ice crouched in total stillness to photograph brooding penguins.
Though professional photographers have recorded Antarctic scenes since the days of Robert Scott's failed 1910-13 expedition, the Keoughs' book, with 345 plates showing scenes from subantarctic islands to the heart of the continent, stands out for its breadth. The Keoughs and their book have collected 21 awards for photography and craftsmanship.
Antarctica has attracted adventurers since 1773, when British explorer James Cook became the first human to venture inside the polar circle. The place has also lured the entrepreneurial. Just a few years after Cook's voyage, whalers and sealers sailed south. Expeditions harvested the Antarctic fur seals that crowded onto island beaches to mate each summer. With no experience of humans or any other land-based predator, the seals were easy targets for hunters with clubs. Within half a century of Cook's voyage, seal hunters killed more than a million fur seals, at a rate of about 250,000 a year when hunting peaked around 1822.
With the seals gone, massive whaling operations began in 1904. Land stations, shipped south piece by piece at enormous expense, fueled and supplied factory ships capable of killing and processing tens of thousands of whales in a year. The massive mammals were slaughtered for their blubber, which was rendered into oil and used to make products as mundane as margarine. Within a few decades, whaling drove the humpback, blue and fin whales to the brink of extinction. Today, fewer than 3,000 humpbacks remain in Antarctica, down from more than 100,000 a century ago. "There are so few it's not profitable to exploit them," says Paul Arthur Berkman, author of the 2002 book Science into Policy: Global Lessons from Antarctica. "The whaling industry made itself commercially extinct."
Not all of Antarctica's lessons have been negative. The Antarctic Treaty, signed by 12 nations in 1959, established the continent as a rare model of cooperation. Signatories, which included the Soviet Union, Britain and the United States, agreed to demilitarize the continent, share scientific information from studies there and set aside territorial claims. "The most valuable thing Antarctica can give us is a demonstration of how mankind can preserve an entire region for peaceful purposes," says Berkman. Indeed, the 1959 agreement would serve as a model for later treaties governing outer space and the high seas. Another landmark treaty, in 1964, established protected areas and species. As a result, Antarctica's wildlife is recovering.
Nowadays, the very remoteness of the continent, long elegized as the planet's last untouched place, raises a new threat: tourism. According to the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO), planes that land on the continent, as well as cruise ships that ply the polar waters, carried nearly 20,000 people to Antarctica in the 2003-2004 season—more than twice as many as a decade ago.

I think it's about time someone wrote an updated review for Candy Bar.
It's had a lot of changes in the past year or so. Out with the pink, out with the pool table (sad times) and in with the new owners who know a thing or two about building a successful brand on the scene.
Not saying you'll get an accurate depiction of the place, but if you're thinking about venturing here for the first...more
HOOOOO kay.
Its probably not a great idea to write a review so long after my single visit to a bar in a city that I have only been once... but i am doing it anyway.
hey! hindsight is 20-20. I would give it 2 stars... but from what i can tell, London isn't exactly TEAMING with women's nights- so they get the "benefit of the desperate".
My GF and I were on vacation in London and wanted to...more
I'm coming back to one-up this place...They've completely re-vamped the venue, due to the partnership with Gay venue Ku Bar. It looks a lot less trashy (thought they left the stripper pole!) and, oddly enough, the past two times I've been in the past two weeks, the clientele seems to have moved up a bit. There's actually been a nice mix of Lezzers, which I appreciate. Knock on Wood, I might...more
Good colourful bar in a vibrant area! Staff are welcoming and the atmosphere is friendly. I would have given 5 stars if they did not stop doing the cocktails shots. Slippery Nipple was my favourite.
It is cheap to get it in, the music is very versatile, it is open everyday from 12pm and there is a lot of eye candy. Check it out! I have!more
Let start off with the good things. The drinks are relatively cheap and they have an energy drink called p*ssy which is pretty amusing way to order a drink.
Now with the bad. I've never been so molested in my life. Not even at a straight club wearing what amounts to my birthday suit and a smile. The women here were way too aggressive. I don't mind flirting but licking my neck seconds...more

Oct 29 2013
Tens of thousands of people remain without power while commuters faced further delays to their journeys as the disruption from the most powerful storm to hit Britain in years continued.
Latest figures from UK Power Networks show that some 48,000 properties in the East and 9,600 in the South East still have no electricity, more than 24 hours after the first outages.
Around half a million homes and businesses are thought to have been affected since the storm first touched the British mainland overnight on Sunday.
And while many train services have been reinstated following yesterday's severely disrupted operations, rail users were still asked to check travel times as delays were reported.
Greater Anglia services between Liverpool Street and Enfield Town were cancelled because of a fallen tree on the line between Edmonton Green and Southbury. There was no service on the Stansted Express, while those hoping to travel on London Midland trains between Watford Junction and St Albans Abbey were told they would not be running until tomorrow due to a fallen tree.
A 17-year-old girl was among four people killed as hurricane-force winds battered England and Wales, leaving a trail of destruction.
Dubbed St Jude after the patron of lost causes, the storm caused transport disruption on road, rail, air and sea, and power cuts for hundreds of thousands of homes.
Today, the storm, which is now over Scandinavia, has been replaced with far lighter winds and rain, but dozens of areas in southern England remain on flood alert, the Environment Agency said.
Insurers are counting the cost of the storm but say it is too early to tell whether it will compare with the multibillion-pound hits caused by previous severe weather events.
Initial estimates of the level of financial damage wrought are not expected until later this week, the Association of British Insurers said.
During yesterday morning, winds of up to 100mph swept through the South West, South, South East, the Midlands and the East of England after first hitting land in the early hours.
Up to 2.4in (6cm) of rain - half the monthly average - fell in just a few hours during the storm in areas including Hampshire and Devon, causing flash floods.
Bethany Freeman was crushed to death when a 30ft (9m) tree fell on the caravans she and her family were living in while renovation work was taking place at their home in Hever, near Edenbridge in Kent, shortly after 7am.
Known as "Gia", she was a "universally respected" sixth-form pupil at Tunbridge Wells Grammar School who "had everything to look forward to", the school's website said.
There were tragic scenes as her driving instructor arrived at her home in Lydens Lane to pick her up without knowing she had died.
"Loving husband" and father-of-three Donal Drohan, 51, originally from Waterford in Ireland, died when his car was hit by a tree at the bridge over the River Colne in Watford, Hertfordshire.
Mr Drohan, from Harrow, west London, was "in the wrong place at the wrong time" when his car was struck by a falling tree in Lower High Street.
A police officer who attended the scene said a millisecond's difference would have made for "a different story".
The Harrow council worker's family said: "He was the best husband and father anyone could wish for. You couldn't find anyone who had a bad word to say about him."
In Hounslow, west London, three houses were destroyed and two more were damaged by an explosion, thought to have been caused by a ruptured gas main.
Officers were called to Bath Road at around 7.30am and at noon they found a man's body at number 47 amid "scenes of devastation".
An hour and a half later, a woman - whom investigators were trying to identify - was found dead at the same property.
Met Office spokeswoman Laura Young warned that the impacts from the storm are still around and urged the public to remain alert.
John Lee, a forecaster for the MeteoGroup, the weather division of the Press Association, said it was the most powerful storm in years.
"There will no doubt be some disruption still following the damage caused by strong winds and heavy rain, but the weather will be quite different," he said.
"It will be blustery with some showers, especially in the west, but a lot lighter.
"On Friday there is an indication that stormy weather could return, but it's likely to bring heavy rain rather than strong winds."
The Energy Networks Association said 459,000 homes suffered power cuts across England, with 166,000 still disconnected.
The port of Dover in Kent had to be shut, train and Tube services were disrupted, more than 130 flights at Heathrow Airport were cancelled and many roads were impassable due to fallen trees.
Debris falling on to power lines caused a nuclear power station in Kent automatically to close down both its reactors, leaving its own diesel generators to provide power for essential safety systems.
Experts said that, while the gales were relatively weak compared with the Great Storm of 1987, it had shown how much weather predictions have improved compared with 26 years ago.
