*** 2009 ***
Michael Dalton. I went on an internship to Italy following graduation to teach English to Italian High School students as a part of the Scuole di Lombardia program. I worked in Italian with faculty in school and created my own lessons, teaching them to the Italian students in English. I used Italian every day and all-day in the small town I lived in (Crema, provincia di Cremona) and stayed with a host family. My Italian experience at Dickinson was phenomenal and I'm continuing to use my Italian now, taking classes twice a week with a tutor. I am currently a legal assistant at my father's law firm in Delaware. However, I'm also currently working to get into the importation business - facilitating small artisan Italian producers to sell their products in the US. Without Italian and my experience at Dickinson and following Dickinson with my internship (which was through Dickinson's Italian department), I would never have had any of the opportunities available to myself.
Samuel Meller. Italian is an extremely useful language because of its versatility. Currently, I am in my second year of Law School and I will be next year's Senior Articles Editor for a Journal of International & Comparative Law. As a law student, having Italian is especially helpful to understand the literal translation of some legal Latin phrases. As a member of the editorial board of an academic journal on international law, I have used my background in Italian to help translate legal texts for my colleagues on the editorial board and to get a better understanding of European legal issues, which occurs often in discussions of general international law.
Joey Kirk. My Italian Studies major has been extremely helpful in my career post Dickinson. I have visited Italy and kept in touch with my Italian friends. I continue to speak Italian frequently and look forward to using when I enter graduate school in Fall 2011. Currently, I'm an Admissions Counselor at a small, private, Catholic college outside of Philadelphia. I will be attending graduate school in the fall to study International Education.
*** 2008 ***
Christina Brumbach. I minored in Italian. Since graduation in May 2008, I have been living in Italy. I first worked as an English Teaching Assistant on a Fulbright Grant at two public high schools in Rome and have since lived in Bologna teaching English in different venues to children and adults. Italian has been vital to my daily life and will hopefully help me learn Spanish when I move to the US to teach. I am currently teaching children English in Bologna, but will soon transfer to Boston where I will go to graduate school for elementary education and ESL.
Deborah Hicks. Not merely my major in Italian Studies, but moreover, the guidance from the professors in the Italian department at Dickinson have shaped my career since my graduation. Were it not for their enthusiasm and encouragement, I would not have fallen in love with Italian culture because I never would have understood it on such a profound level. They opened the doors for my exploration of a different world, and also helped my find a career in teaching. I am currently teaching English as a second language outside of Milan, and hope to continue teaching in some context in the future.
Lucy Vandervort. I have always thought of Italian as the most beautiful language, and at Dickinson I was able to fully indulge my love of it. The crowning moment of my Italian-language experience at Dickinson was the year I spent studying abroad in Bologna—I fell completely in love with the people, food, art, way of life, etc. It was the best experience of my life, and I will never forget it. I am also able to say that my Italian language skills have benefitted me post-college, as I have been providing Italian-English translations for a historian who is writing a book about the Italian war in Libya in the early 1900s. I would encourage anyone with a love of or interest in the Italian language to explore it at Dickinson. For me it was an experience I will always cherish—and I am fluent in Italian!
*** 2003 ***
Tiffany Bistocchi. After graduating from Dickinson I lived in Perugia for one year and studied at the Università per Stranieri di Perugia. I then went on to study at the Università degli Studi di Firenze with Middlebury College. I earned my MA in Italian Studies from Middlebury College in 2006. I taught elementary school Italian and I currently teach high school Italian. I have also been teaching adult Italian classes for the past five years at night.
*** 2002 ***
Ellen Laird. After graduating from Dickinson, I had a strong desire to return to Italy and use my knowledge of the language and culture in a working environment. I returned to Bologna and began teaching English as a second language at a local, private language school. Even though I was teaching the English language, my knowledge of Italian was very useful because it helped me have a better understanding of how my students were progressing in their efforts to learn the English language. I understood why they made certain mistakes or why they confused certain words or grammar rules based on their own native language. My knowledge of Italian helped me to better address my students' needs as a teacher. My knowledge of the Italian language and culture was also very useful and important in my everyday life in Bologna. It helped to have a good understanding of how things "worked" in Italy, both bureaucratically and socially, when it came to finding an apartment to rent, searching for work, meeting new friends and networking with people. My knowledge of the Italian language and culture continued to grow during my time Bologna after graduation, and this knowledge has been fundamental in my position as the Bologna Program Associate for Dickinson's study abroad program in Bologna, Italy. I have been working for the Bologna Program for four years, and I thoroughly enjoy being a part of Dickinson College's overseas network. My education in the Italian language at Dickinson College, and my experiences abroad in Italy, both as a student and after graduation, were key elements to helping be where I am today.
Lisa Sabetta. I use my Italian every day on both a professional and personal level. After majoring in Italian Studies at Dickinson I decided to use my Italian skills as a way to enter the work force in a way that would set me apart from others applicants. Following graduation, after two years as a paralegal at an UK law firm in Milan where I translated legal documents, I decided to come back to the States in order to pursue my passion for the fashion and luxury sector. Even at that time during those months when I was unemployed and between jobs I was able to find a temp position as a receptionist at an Italian bank in NY - while continuing to look for jobs that would allow me to utilize my Italian and follow my dream. I currently work in marketing for an Italian men's fashion company - where I use my Italian every day, whether it be in communication with my Italian boss in the office or over the phone or in emails to headquarters in Milan. Continuing to use my Italian has also allowed me the opportunity to keep in touch with many friends made over the years and popular Italian culture (music, movies, sports, gossip, fashion and even youth slang which I manage to sprinkle into my spoken Italian!). The journey that I have taken with Italian was set in motion first semester freshman year at Dickinson in my first Italian class and has continued to this very day - and for that i am extremely grateful.
*** 1996 ***
Laura D'Ambrosio. At Dickinson, I was an Italian Studies major and participated in the Bologna program my Junior year. My experience in Bologna deeply influenced my life after Dickinson and Italian continues to be a large part of my life today. After graduation from Dickinson, I returned to Rome, Italy to study for my MBA in International Finance at St. John's University Rome campus. The additional two years in Italy helped me not only to obtain an MBA, but also to perfect my Italian language skills. While in Rome, I participated in an internship at Fendi in their financial department and upon graduation from my MBA program, I returned to the US and received a job offer from Prada in NYC. At Prada, I was a retail analyst and traveled often to and from Milan for the fashion shows. In 2002, I accepted a job at the university where I had completed my MBA and returned to Rome to work at their campus in Italy. I was responsible for all of the marketing, recruitment, admissions and special events for the Rome campus of St. John's University. In 2004, I met my husband who is Italian and we were married in 2007. We remained in Italy until 2010 and are currently living in Doha, Qatar. I believe that the positive experience that I had in Bologna really expanded my mind and my interest in living abroad and learning about different cultures. In addition, studying Italian and becoming fluent in another language gave me an advantage over other applicants in several of the jobs that I have held throughout my career. I am appreciative that Dickinson puts such a strong emphasis on studying a language and on having an experience in living abroad as it truly has influenced the direction that my life has taken!
*** 1995 ***
Susan Ingall (Fish). My Italian Studies major directly lead to my first job in International Advertising. Quite frankly they needed someone who spoke Italian. I used it throughout my career in Europe as a media planner and negotiator. I used both my French and Italian. My Italian was essential to my work as I was based in UK and booked advertising for my clients in Europe. Obviously France and Italy were my main responsibilities. One of my biggest accounts was to help launch Nike across Europe. Of many jobs, one was to help them understand the Italian media market. I no longer work in advertising, and have taken up a latent passion and now work on a part time basis as a veterinary assistant. BUT I still use my Italian from time to time. It could be anything from a trip in Italy to an event of my husband's where someone might be more comfortable in Italian. It probably was the most useful major I could have taken.
*** 1993 ***
Katherine Volkmer. While I am not of Italian heritage, I found and continue to find Italian Studies a compelling field of study. Italy has a profound political history from the rise and fall of the Roman empire to the complexity of its political parties since its unification. Italians have made a vast contributions to the literary world (Dante, Goldoni), science and education (da Vinci, Marconi, Montessori), fine arts (Michelangelo, Caravaggio, da Vinci, Botticelli) and music (Monteverdi, Verdi, Puccini, Rossini, not to mention performers such as Mirella Freni and Luciano Pavarotti) as well as cuisine and wine, fashion and even automobiles. Culturally speaking, it is also unbelievably diverse. There are plays and poetry and idiomatic expressions written in multiple dialects. It is also notably the closest modern day version of Latin and has expanded my vocabulary tremendously in English. I was first exposed to Italian as a young child through listening to opera and then study of piano and voice. (All musical notation continues to be written in Italian – even if the composer is Chinese or Czech. It is a global language of music. Even in my toddler's music class, they were taught "piano e forte" and not "soft and loud".) I then became interested in Italian art as I studied studio art and attempted copying some of da Vinci's and Michelangelo's sketches as a form of study. I traveled to Italy with my art class in high school and was immediately taken with the country and beauty of the spoken language. I was determined to study Italian in college. (It was not offered in my high school.) I began an independent study program in Italian Studies with the guidance of Tullio Pagano as the Italian Studies major was not yet established when I began this trajectory. Since graduation, I have always found ways to incorporate Italian into my career. I taught English to Italians in Italy and did free-lance translation work. I worked for a satellite office of The Johns Hopkins University in Italy. I ultimately worked in finance in International Correspondent banking and managed the Italian accounts (Italian banks were my clients). (I worked periodically in the Milan office as well.) Finally, I changed careers after our son was born and have pursued a dream. I established my own business teaching Italian to young children. I have developed (and continue to expand) a curriculum - including songs and props and crafts which I create in Italian – which is relevant to young children. I am teaching through the use of music, rhymes, and props and handouts covering topics relevant to small children – everything from zoo animals to brushing teeth and naming the planets. Italian is a language of great import and can be used in numerous career paths.
Matthew Rodano. I was the person who actually lobbed to have Italian Studies made as a Major from a Minor and was one of the first persons to do double major in Italian Studies and International Studies. Being an Italian Studies Major has helped me a great deal in my career and I try to use it as much as possible. From my use in Italian, I have increased my knowledge and understanding of other foreign languages such as French, Spanish, Portuguese, and more. Currently I am Vice President of Client Relations for The LanguageWorks, Inc. It's a foreign language translation agency. I have been in the industry for 16 years now. I actually use to translate and teach entry-level Italian to children and adults. The background and information that I learned has been extremely helpful. It helped me too in my Study Abroad program in Bologna, Italy. I even worked as a translator for a short period of time from Italian into English. If you would ever like me to address students on the subject, I will be more than happy to do something via Skype or come to Dickinson for a visit.
*** 1980 ***
Regina Psaki. When I was at Dickinson, there wasn't a major in Italian Studies yet. But my study of Italian in Bologna and at Dickinson was essential for my career because it led to my current job as an Italian language and literature professor at the University of Oregon. http://rl.uoregon.edu/people/faculty/profiles/rpsaki/index.php

My favorites are Cant Be the Only One and Cant Stand Me.
All of Kickin' & Screamin'! Kali's best album by far.
Strange March
Created A Monster
808 Bendin
Cant Be The Only One
Kali Baby
Get Buck
...until Mannibalector comes out. I cant wait to hear the first couple singles from that!! And I'm sure Rollin Stone is going to be full of bangers too
i can't help but notice..I'm the only person to put down a classic. Everyone else is putting Multiple new songs that will more than likely phase in and out as your favorites..
Strange March remix, 808 Bendin', and a few songs from Kickin' and Screamin'
Right now on my rotation Cant Stand Me, Spaz, Hello Walls, Last Minute Trip, Too Much, Crew Cut, Akka Damn Fool, 808 Bendin', PR2K1, Here Comes Tecca Nina, and Misunderstood
I think it's because we already know the older songs by Tech are good and the new Strange Music tracks are just starting to grow on us as favourites. From the title of the thread I automatically wanted to put a recent song because "right now" I would probably put on Krizz Kaliko or ¡Mayday!'s album as opposed to Tech N9ne's Killer. Only because they are new albums and it's easier to pin-point which songs stand out more than others rather than a Tech song from 2008 that we occasionally listen to anways. lol hope that makes sense.

C-SPAN Radio Specials: Supreme Court Oral Arguments
Washington, DC Saturday, November 13, 2010
C-SPAN Radio continues its special series of oral arguments from modern landmark cases. In part one of the two part oral argument in "Jane Roe, et al v. Henry Wade," hear the historic case that launched the legal battle on abortion and the right to privacy. Norma McCorvey hired attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington to file a suit under the alias Jane Roe so she could obtain an abortion. The defendant in the case was Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade. The District Court ruled in Norma McCorvey's favor on the merits, but declined to grant an injunction against the enforcement of the laws barring abortion. The case ultimately reached the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal, which heard arguments twice, due to some of the court's dissatisfaction with the attorneys and to accommodate two of the associate justices who joined the court late in the initial argument.

Past few days have obviously been very difficult ones for anyone living in the state of Connecticut or aware of these particularly -- on the circumstances.
As I said in my televised remarks on Saturday night.
You see these tragedies play out and other places.
And you hope.
And -- expect that will never happen in your home but clearly it did in Connecticut.
I will repeat something I said on Friday and Saturday.
The families of those victims their families -- their relatives of the brave teachers and administrators at the school who survived in the children.
Who survived to all of them let us.
Let me say on behalf of the state of Connecticut that we stand ready to assist you in any way possible.
In anyway needed to help you -- So many resources.
Already being are so many resources are already being brought to bear.
But we will bring more whatever is necessary.

And our people and I'm most appreciative of that.
I want to thank the first responders.
It's pretty clear.
That they're very quick response saved lives.
Are we are grateful to them they put their lives on the line every single day and then there are days like Friday.
When they put their alliance their lives on the line.
And they actually save lives as they clearly did.
Friday as a result.
Children went home and continue to preparations to celebrate Christmas or will celebrate Chanukah.
In the future.
And I like to -- the adults in the school the teachers the administrators all of the adults.
Those who died trying to save their students are heroes.
They gave their lives.
-- so others could lip.
And there are those.
Teachers who -- -- com quick thinking action say many lives they are heroes all so.
There are a lot of heroes in Connecticut today and I'm grateful to all of them.
I -- my remarks -- Saturday night that I thought there would be time for public discussion.
And that and that discussion would inevitably occur.
As it does every time when a tragedy like this takes place.
And I think some people interpreted that to mean that I thought it was inappropriate for those discussions take place I do not think it's -- appropriate for them to take place.
In fact it's quite appropriate.
The point I was making was.
That no more than 36 hours after the event my job my personal job as governor at that moment.
Was to speak to the people of Connecticut about the fears are feeling.
The damage that's been -- up.
And my -- to help and continue to help -- -- in the entire state to recover.
But we know vote in our state that we have some of the toughest gun laws of any state in the nation.
But when the investigation is over and all of the information is I'm going to ask if you question.
Is there a law or policy or procedure we could have had on the books that might have prevented this strategy.
It turns out quite clearly the answer is.
Asked and if and I believe it is yes and we should pursue.
That strategy.
Are we -- are we doing enough arm from my mental health perspective to reach out to kids.
And families who are obviously in trouble.
My sense is we are not and we need to look at that.
-- within our own state and within -- world.
Do I think Washington DC needs to get its act together.
And enact stricter gun control laws at the federal level.
You -- I do.
I'm confident especially after hearing the president it.
-- -- addressed today that perhaps and by the way the comments of our own a Connecticut delegation.
That perhaps this debate will be renewed in Washington and lead to a different result of one other then the result that allowed.
-- weapons.
Assault weapons ban two.
To a expire.
The public policy debate is already playing out.
At the national level and if Connecticut or I can be a voice of the assistance in that matter.
We are as Connecticut citizens.
-- the governor prepared to enter that debate as well.
But my focus right now is on helping our community and our state get through this very terrible and difficult time.
I said there were some announcements so make those now.
First offers of financial assistance general generous offers are literally pouring into Connecticut.
I've asked my staff to put together a process to handle all of this in an organized fashion and I expect expect to have something further to announce about -- in the next.
They -- too I know that the community of Newtown is working with united way on this very subject as well to set up a fund there.
Second I want to inform you that I signed an executive order.
That will permit Monroe and new town to enter into an agreement concerning the use of and Monroe.
Extra school -- they have surplus school.
That will help of that school to be used and immediately and suspends some of them.

Radiohead charging £65 for tickets - not cool.
Thom feeling our pain…all the way to the bank.
OK so they're one of the biggest bands in the world - they don't play very often - and they're very good live. But £65 EACH? REALLY?
To me that's taking the piss a little bit. 5 years ago at victoria park, the tickets were around £45. They had just released a huge album,for free.So maybe I'll pay a little on top to see them in return…and it was great.
But when they've just released what can only be called the mediochreKing of Limbs, I don't really fancy paying that kind of money.
Problem is, plenty of people will, so it's kind of a no-brainer for Radiohead to charge this amount. Plus if they would charge 30, the touts would take over and the natural supply and demand would end up with them making the money, not Radiohead, who might at least give it to charity or something.
By the way, you could go to Bilbao BBK, pay 20 quid more, and see LOADS MORE BANDS. Just sayin'

If 2 business are generating the same revenue / profits, would you value a business more (in terms of numbers) because they are located at a good business address? (psychology is in play here)
it's more depend on what kind of business you are running, like
but i think now a days your business growth is much more depend upon the word of mouth i.e. if someone suggest it and someone can be your friend, relative, your office colleague or even a newspaper or any user opinion poll also like the movies rating not all movies are enjoyable by all people in the world but before going to watch a film you do consider people's point of view and then you select your piece of treat ... although if your business is giant in the industry then it certainly has a good impact like google do because they are the industry giant when it comes to search engine and look their offices ... I also say they have the best offices and the impact they have on user is that whatever they do people want to use their services even if it is not up to mark of the user and they take open suggestion/feedback to improve it and by the time they are finish with the testing phase the app/business become up to the users expectation [as they did with google+, and it saved a lot of money which people spent getting user opinion or you can say user/client testing] ... but at the end business is more about offering services and incentive and continuously presenting it in way to be more user friendly ... it's more of psychological game and if you want to be best in it you have to study your playground, opponents and tools availble before you start playing the game ... | |||||||||||||
The answer is pretty simple; it depends on your clientele. And there's a few ways to figure out if this matters. First, do you know where your competitors are physically located? If you don't, and you know them relatively well, chances are customers won't care either. Second, find some way to get your current and prospective clients to indicate if they know or care where you are. As you're talking to them, try to drop a question like, "Do you know where we are?" and find out if they know - and see, when you talk to prospectives, whether they even ask. Frankly, how many people know where Google is, other than something vague like, "California?". There are three main considerations for location, as far as I see. First, is there a reason to be physically located near your customers. This goes back to my points above; do they even care? Many IT functions can be done remotely, so it's all about cost and management preference at that customer. Second, are you somewhere where you can recruit the best talent? This has a direct effect on your product, obviously, and being in Podunk, IA means you aren't going to be getting the best people you can get. This doesn't mean just Silicon Valley; Boston, Philly, Austin, all have good reputations for IT talent. Third, how much are you willing to pay? You want to be in Manhattan or some spots in CA, you're going to pay. Is being near certain customers or having certain talent nearby worth the cost? Local taxes matter too - just see how many companies incorporate in Delaware. You'll have to take those factors into consideration. Of course, outside considerations like whether you are a distributed company with lots of remote workers make a difference too - there are other things specific to your situation that can affect this. But in general, I think the above points cover a lot of the questions you'll have to answer to decide your location. Hope this helps! | |||

The Jak & Daxter Platinum Race!
eek, Jak & Daxter is out now! and it comes with trophies! so why not make a little challenge out of it - can you beat everyone to the top spot and be the quickest player to get the Platinum trophy?
the challenge starts as soon as your first trophy pings up, its then a race to see how quickly you can complete the game and (much more importantly) grab every other trophy, not stopping until you reach the bright blue shiny egg-like Platinum.
the great thing is you can start whenever you want! theres no rush, could be today, tomorrow, (er, yesterday), next week, in three years time, whenever, youll have just as much of a chance as everyone else. you can also have as many goes as you want by trying on another account.
its not just about winning and coming top of the awesome leaderboard up there either... its about beating me too! yep, theres some super uber-rare sig prizes to be won, and coming higher than Narr earns you one! um, like, easiest prize ever, ya ha!
to get your time lobbed up onto the leaderboard for all to see, all you need to do is post your start date and platty date in this thread. after 17 independent referees and adjudicators have confirmed your time (er, ill just look on a trophy site or on PSN 8D) your name will go up!
dont worry if youve grabbed a copy of the Jak Trilogy, youll still have two other bigger and exciting games to play with when you finish, so theres no need to panic that youve rushed through your new purchase 8).
thats all you need to know! if you have any tips or tricks to help your fellow hoarders, post 'em up too. now, go grab those trophies!

were the any tricky bits in there you guys found hard? and did it bring back some memories while playing the game again too?
on 26-02-2012 12:00 PM
I forgot about the frozen box on snowy mountain so i had to look it up. It is next to the yellow vent you open, look around and there will be a box in the ice. Apart from that I played from memory. I have already platinumed it a second time on my other account. I took a couple of hours break though, so it is no record time.
Join the banter, trophy gloat and grab the sig pic!

WhatsApp privacy practices under scrutiny
One of the world's most popular cross-platform applications "violates" international privacy laws, according to the Canadian and Dutch data protection authorities, because it requires users to provide their entire contact list to the service.
The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and the Dutch Data Protection Authority today announced their findings for what they called a "collaborative investigation into the handling of personal information" by the California-based company.

Technical Papers and Presentations
Reactive Transport and Convective Mixing During CO2 Migration in a Saline Aquifer
E. Abarca[1], A. Nardi[1], F. Grandia[1], J. Molinero[1]
[1]Amphos21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
The capture and storage of CO2 in deep geological formations is one of the proposed solutions to reduce CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. CO2 is injected as a supercritical fluid deep below a confining geological formation that prevents its return to the atmosphere. A configuration of denser CO2-enriched brine overlying lighter water leads to convective flow and the formation of gravity fingers of ...
Modelling Reservoir Stimulation in Enhanced Geothermal Systems
G. Perillo[1], G. De Natale[2], M.G. Di Giuseppe[2], A. Troiano[2], C. Troise[2]
[1]University of Naples Parthenope, Italy
[2]INGV - Osservatorio Vesuviano, Naples, Italy
Fluid injection in deep wells is a basic procedure in geothermal permeability enhancement. The retrieved changes of Pressure and Temperature are subsequently considered as sources of incremental stress and strain changes, using the elastic model from COMSOL Multiphysics®, which are then converted to Coulomb stress changes on favoured faults, taking into account also the background regional ...
Applicability of the Fracture Flow Interface to the Analysis of Piping in Granular Material
S. Bersan[1], C. Jommi[2], A. Koelewijn[3], P. Simonini[1]
[1]University of Padua, Padua, Italy
[2]Delft University of Technology, Delft, The Netherlands
[3]Deltares, Delft, The Netherlands
Piping is a kind of internal erosion that occurs under water retaining structures lying on a sandy soil. In an attempt to reproduce the growth of erosion channels in sand, a small scale physical model has been set up in the laboratory and a finite element model that reproduces the physical model has been developed. This paper presents the comparison among modeling strategies, from which emerged ...
Poroelasticity Benchmarking for FEM on Analytical Solutions
E. Holzbecher[1]
[1]Georg-August Universität Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany
We examine the poroelastics mode, which couples hydraulics and mechanics by some basic benchmarks. For cases with analytical solutions we check the accuracy for changing meshes and calculate the convergence rate.
Modeling of Bentonite Hydration Process in a High Level Waste Repository
M. Hokr[1], I. Skarydova[1]
[1]Technical University of Liberec, Liberec, Czech Republic
We deal with a problem of bentonite behavior during the saturation process in a high level waste repository of KBS-3V conception, SKB (2010). Bentonite is a type of clay with specific nonlinear behavior caused by water adsorption and swelling ability in contact with water. We solve problems of bentonite saturation (flow of water in partly saturated conditions) with simple 2D axisymmetric models. ...
Coupled Palaehydrogeological Microbial and Geochemical Reactive Transport Model of the Olkiluoto Site (Finland)
P. Trinchero[1], M. Luna[1], J. Molinero[1], G. Román-Ross[1], F. Maia[1], A. Nardi[1], J. Löfman[2], P. Pitkänen[3], L. Koskinen[3]
[1]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
[2]VTT Energy, Finland
[3]Posiva Oy, Olkiluoto, Finland
Olkiluoto at Eurajoki has been selected as the final repository site for spent nuclear waste in Finland. This area has been affected, at regional scale, by land-uplift processes related to the ice withdrawal. These events have resulted in a complex and stratified heterogeneous hydrochemical system. The objective of this work was to develop a robust paleohydrogeological reactive transport (PRT) ...
An Innovative Reactive Transport Modeling Approach for the Chemical Evolution of a HLW Cell in the Callovo-Oxfordian Formation
J. Molinero[1], D. García[1], M. Grivé[1], A. Nardi[1]
[1]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
Andra (The French National Radioactive Waste Management Agency) envisages the safe disposal of High-Level Waste (HLW) and Intermediate-Level Long-Lived Waste (IL-LLW) in deep geological storage using a multi-barrier system. To ensure the containment of radioactivity, the principle of storage is based on a clay formation with low permeability, homogeneity and continuity (i.e Callovo-Oxfordian ...
Relevance of Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical Processes Involved in the Construction and Operation of Copper Heap Leach Pads
M. Tincopa[1], A. Nardi[2], G. Roman-Ross[2] , J. Molinero[2]
[1]Technic University of Catalonia (UPC), Barcelona, Spain
[2]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
Heap leaching in the mining industry had become a sophisticated practice at least 500 years ago. It is a mineral processing technology whereby piles of crushed Run-of–Mine rock are leached with chemical solutions to extract minerals. The goal of this work is to contribute to the understanding of the behavior of a heap leach pad by using coupled Hydro-Mechanical-Chemical simulations. COMSOL ...
Groundwater Modeling as an Assessment Tool for Underground Mines Located in Fractured Massifs
J. Font-Capó[1], A. Nardi[1], M. Mendoza [2], E. Ruiz[2], S. Jordana[1], J. Molinero[1], P. Trinchero[1], J. Vargas[3]
[1]Amphos 21 Consulting, Barcelona, Spain
[2]Amphos 21 Perú, Lima, Perú
[3]Worley Parson/TWP, Lima, Perú
Some of the present metallic ores mines are located in areas formed by a heterogeneous fractured massif where groundwater flows preferentially through fractures. Underground mining in these zones can cause impacts in streams, lakes and change the natural water balance of the watersheds, leading to conflicts between traditional uses of water and the mining activity. Quantification of these ...
Hydro-Mechanical Modelling of Infiltration Test for a Bentonite-Sand Mixture: Model Verification and Parameter Identification
M. Hasal[1], R. Hrtus[1], Z. Michalec[1], R. Blaheta[1]
[1]Institute of Geonics AS CR, Ostrava, Czech Republic
The first aim of our work is to create a hydro-mechanical model (HM) of unsaturated fluid flow in bentonite-sand mixture (BSM) MX-80. The second aim is to validate and calibrate the developed model by using the data from a laboratory infiltration test of BSM. The used multi-physics model combines Richards type unsaturated flow with diffusive vapour flow and (nonlinear) elastic response of the ...

A thin Florentine cutaway acoustic-electric bass with tone to die for.
The Washburn AB10 bass is a thin-bodied and lightweight acoustic-electric instrument capable of holding its own in intimate acoustic settings or in high-volume jamming with the band. The Florentine design gives this acoustic electric bass a truly unique and distinctive appearance, while also allowing easy access to the instrument's upper register. It starts with a select spruce top and mahogany sides and back for a truly balanced and full tone. The patented soundslot design of the soundhole reduces feedback that often accompanies acoustic-electric crossovers. The rosewood fingerboard and bridge offer strong sustain. The tuners are chrome die-cast Grovers, for precision tuning and great consistency in tone. At the heart of this 4-string Washburn bass lies a piezo bridge pickup and the Equis Extra active preamp which provide a very natural amplified sound.

Victoria newspaper mogul David Black says he has the financing in place to fund his plans for an oil refinery in Kitimat.
In a speech to the B.C. Chamber of Commerce in Vancouver, Black said while deals have yet to be signed, he believes commitments to fund a $25 billion refinery project are 100 per cent solid.
"I hope to sign this within the next 30 days; we haven't signed it yet," Black said. "How solid is (the commitment)? I would say it's 100 per cent, in this case the financiers are very anxious to help get the refined fuels from Canada.
"I'm sure we will get through to the finish and I'm sure that money will be there."
Black, who owns about 150 newspapers in Western Canada and the U.S., has floated the idea of building a refinery in northwest B.C. — the first new refinery to be built in Canada since 1986 — to handle 550,000 barrels of oil per day.
The plan, met with a mixture of skepticism and enthusiasm from B.C. businesses, was initially designed to change the discussion on the proposed $6 billion Northern Gateway oil pipeline.
Black, who believes the refinery could be in service by 2020, has touted the project as an alternative to shipping the bitumen that would be piped through Enbridge's proposed pipeline.
He reiterated Wednesday that shipping refined products like diesel and gasoline, which float and will evaporate, is safer than shipping crude oil.
"I didn't get into this to try and make more money for myself in a new industry, at the age of 65," Black said. "I'm a sailor and I love the B.C. coast. I got into this to ensure we don't threaten the coast by putting bitumen into tankers."
Richard Cooke, managing director of the Oppenheimer Investment Group which has been working with Black on the project, told the chamber the money will be there and the project will be debt financed — the consortium of investors will sign contracts but not be partners in the project.
"We have arranged and we have funding committed to this whole project," said Cooke. "David talked about a commitment of $25 billion, the people behind us, the consortium we have put together have acknowledged they will support that total sum."
Black's $25 billion figure includes $16 billion for a refinery, $6 billion for a bitumen pipeline from Alberta, and a $2 billion natural gas pipeline to fuel the refinery. It may also include $1 billion for tankers to transport the refined fuels.
The cost of the refinery has increased by $3 billion since Black first floated the idea last fall. A change in technology caused the increase, Black said.
"We were going to have the cleanest and greenest oil refinery in the world — we have decided to change the configuration to make it even cleaner," he said.
Black said that change will cut in half the estimated seven million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year.
Black told the chamber that once he has put together the rest of the building blocks for the refinery he intends to focus his energy on the pipeline, which has drawn protest across the province. "I believe we can build it intelligently and operate it safely," he said.
But the refinery idea may not die even if the pipeline never comes to pass.
Black said if the province "remains set against the pipeline then oil will come to the refinery by rail." He estimates it would take six trains with 120 cars each day to provide the same amount of bitumen as a pipeline would.

NBA AM: On The Move At The Trade Deadline
Moved At The Deadline? Earlier in the week in this space we talked about some of the guys who's contracts make them expendable, but there are a few other guys that shouldn't get too comfortable in their current situations as they are likely on the move before the February 21st, NBA trade deadline. Here are some of the guys to watch:
Tyrus Thomas – Charlotte Bobcats
The Charlotte Bobcats would love to get out of the Tyrus Thomas business. To say it has gone bad in Charlotte between the team and the player is an understatement.
Sources close to the process say the team hopes new head Coach Mike Dunlap can reach Tyrus in a way that Paul Silas couldn't, but the truth of the matter is that Tyrus is not in the long-term plan. If the Bobcats can find anyone who'd take him, they'd trade Tyrus tomorrow.
The problem with moving Tyrus is that he's had some stomach related issues that's caused him to struggle keeping weight on. Combine that with a poor attitude and a history of run-ins with coaches and that's a tough sell. Tyrus is half the player he was when Charlotte overpaid him and with three years and some $26 million left on his deal, he may be unmovable. If this summer taught us anything, it's that even the worst contracts can be moved, so look for the Bobcats to try and find a new home for Thomas, especially if he shows any signs of improvement as a player.
Daniel Gibson – Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cavs deny that they are "shopping" Daniel Gibson, but more than a few team sources say their club has had some level of contact regarding Gibson throughout the summer. With draft pick Dion Waiters expected to join super sophomore Kyrie Irving in the Cavs backcourt there may not be much of a role for Gibson and several teams have tried to engage Cleveland on a deal. As things settle in and the rookies in Cleveland find their way Gibson and his ending contract are likely on the move.
Gibson is owed $4.7 million this season which is a fairly easy number cap wise and if the Cavs can extract a draft pick or a roster part they want, you can expect Gibson will be moved.
Corey Maggette – Detroit Pistons
The Detroit Pistons have been talking up Corey Maggette's leadership but the truth of the matter is Maggette is not in the long-term plan in Detroit. If the Piston can flip his ending $10.9 million contract for something they like, you can expect Corey to be moved.
Corey is still a very serviceable player, and at the trade deadline when more than 70% of his contract is paid, he'll cost $3.2 million in payable salary to clear $10.92 million.
Kevin Martin – Houston Rockets
The Houston Rockets have tried to repair the relationship with Kevin Martin, but after trying to trade him over the last two offseasons, it's clear Kevin's time in Houston is short. With one season worth $12.43 million left on his deal, Kevin is the salary chip the Rockets will have to cash before the trade deadline.
The Rockets say Kevin is their guy, but when you look at the direction of the roster Kevin isn't exactly a good fit.
Kevin has his flaws as a player, but when healthy, he is one of the most efficient players in the league in terms of scoring and getting to the line. The problem is his body can't maintain his style of play and that's going to be a problem in trying to extract real value out of Martin.
Larry Sanders – Milwaukee Bucks
The writing is on the wall for Larry Sanders. If he does not show up big in training camp he is likely out in Milwaukee.
Since the trade deadline last year the Bucks have acquired Ekpe Udoh and Samuel Dalembert. They drafted John Henson. Factor in a return of Ersan Ilyasova as a free agent and roster bigs Drew Gooden and Tobias Harris, there is not a lot of room for Sanders if he can't show significant improvement.
The good news for Milwaukee is Sanders is still on his rookie deal and could be an easy sell if they decide to move him.
If Sanders struggles or is inconsistent in training camp he may lose his place on the depth chart despite how much Coach Skiles likes his intensity. Given the roster make up, Sanders could be dealt simply because he could return some value in trade.
Al Harrington – Orlando Magic
Sources near the Magic deny that Al Harrington was a throw-in in the Dwight Howard trade. There is a belief that Al could be a good locker room influence on Orlando's cast of young bigs and that's likely true to start the season. However, at the trade deadline you can bet that the Magic are going to try and off-load Harrington on a playoff team and try to dump the remaining years on his contract.
Harrington is a serviceable player and his deal isn't crazy, so finding a taker for him might cost the Magic a draft pick, but given how many the Magic are sitting on going forward, offloading his contract money might be more important than a low level pick.
Harrington likely starts the season in Orlando, but in February he's likely somewhere else.
Francisco Garcia – Sacramento Kings
It is hard to envision how Francisco Garcia has a role in Sacramento, but the reality is his $6.1 million contract is available and has been for some time.
'Sisco has struggled to stay healthy and that's going to be the biggest hurdle in moving him. In his seven years in the NBA he has never played 82 games and over the last three years he's missed 17, 24, and 57.
The Kings are desperate for help at the small forward spot and used Tyreke Evans in that role last year. If 'Sisco can get and stay healthy maybe there is a role for him, but if the Kings could offload the deal sources say they'd do it.
'Sisco has two years left on his contract; however the final year is a team option, so in essence he is an ending deal and at the trade deadline he might have trade value regardless of his health.
DeJuan Blair – San Antonio Spurs
The Spurs tried to trade DeJuan Blair around the draft and could not find a deal they'd do. The odds the Spurs cut Blair outright are slim, but you can expect as roles get defined in Spurs training camp that DeJuan will be the guy they start to shop again.
Blair's health issues have been well documented. He plays without ACL ligaments in his knee which marvels basketball executives, but also throws up serious red flags when trying to establish a real value for him, especially knowing he could go down at any time.
Blair has been working relentlessly this offseason knowing that he's likely playing for another team. However with no trade deal in place now, he'll report to Spurs camp, but you can bet if the Spurs find a deal for Blair, they are going to move him.
Blair's contract is negligible in terms of trade value; he is owed one final year worth $1.05 million, meaning his final destination is more about what the Spurs get back for him.
Jose Calderon – Toronto Raptors
The Raptors have tried to trade Jose Calderon several times over the last two years, but this might be the year they can actually pull it off. Jose is entering the final year of his deal and at the trade deadline the Raptors will have paid more than 70% of the $10.561 million remaining on the deal.
The Raptors traded for Kyle Lowry this offseason and he is expected to be the starter, although the Raptors are saying roles will be defined in training camp.
With Jose at the end of his deal the Raptors will likely get something in return for him and given how bad that contract looked two seasons ago, that's tremendous progress.
What the Raptors can expect in return is still very much up in the air, but what was once a huge liability might actually turn into a reasonable trade chip especially as the dollars owed start to get paid down.

The Nets Staying Active The Brooklyn Nets continue to look at roster additions, although they have very little to offer beyond the NBA minimum.
The Nets brought in backup centers Eddy Curry and Hilton Armstrong for workouts and were said to be closing in on a deal with former King Donte Greene. However, he broke his ankle this week playing in a pickup game and is now out of the picture for the Nets.
The Nets have been linked to Josh Childress and Sam Young and are still talking to Damion James about returning. James' agent says his client is still considering options and might make a decision this week after meeting with possibly one more team.
The Nets currently have 13 players under contract and roughly $81.8 million in salary commitments.
Seattle Still In The Mix? Chris Hansen's quest to build a world-class venue in Seattle continues to move along with KING5 in Seattle reporting that Hansen's company closed on another land purchase near the site of the his proposed arena.
Hansen's company closed on a deal to acquire an additional half-acre of property near his proposed site at the cost of just at $8 million.
Hansen has been working on a deal to build a $490 million arena that would house a NHL teams, but could also be a desirable destination for a NBA team once the project gets underway.
The only NBA team without binding arena commitments is the Sacramento Kings. The Kings had been linked to a Virginia Beach arena proposal which is now considered dead.
Hansen's proposal calls for some $200 million in public money, something King County has approved, however there are several more political and financial hurdles to be cleared before this project becomes a reality.

Plan your journey and jump the queue
Wednesday 19 December First Great Western Managing Director Mark Hopwood said: "Despite the lack of availability of suitable additional trains in the UK, in the past three years we've been doing just what the minister suggests. We've worked with the DfT to secure 90 additional carriages, adding around 10 per cent more space on trains for customers in key areas of our network.
"We welcome Norman Baker's call for train operators to be more proactive in securing spare rolling stock to deal with rising customer demand.
"The latest survey figures show just how committed First Great Western is to tackling overcrowding. In 2010, unfortunately we operated all of the top ten services. By the 2011 survey we had reduced this number to five, and since this data was collected over a year ago we have continued to address the issue, adding over 4,500 seats to services into and out of London Paddington.
"Sometimes that has meant thinking a little differently. With no suitable carriages to strengthen our High Speed Train fleet, this year we worked with the DfT to completely overhaul disused buffet carriages to provide the extra capacity required.
"This approach has been particularly effective in tackling the capacity challenge, and should be embraced. We will continue to look for opportunities to add further carriages when they become available."
Notes to editors
First Great Western provides high speed, commuter, regional and branch line train services, carrying more than 90 million passengers every year across the Greater Western rail franchise area, which includes South Wales, the Westcountry, the Cotswolds, and large parts of Southern England.
The 07:44 service from Henley on Thames to London Paddington by adding an additional carriage, so that the number of standard class seats has increased to 340.
From September 2012, the 06:30 service from Banbury to London Paddington has started from Oxford not Banbury, leaving Oxford at 07:00. It is now operated by a refreshed Class 180 train which provides an increased standard class seating capacity.

BACKGROUND: Astronomers have always thought that large stars die in one big explosion that creates a black hole. New data from NASA's Swift satellite indicates that a star dies through a series of explosions -- three or four of them -- before forming a black hole.
WHAT IS SWIFT: Swift was launched in November 2004 to collect and analyze data on gamma ray bursts and other higher-energy happenings in the universe. Using Swift's state-of-the-art X-ray and ultraviolet telescopes, astronomers can now see gamma ray bursts within minutes, instead of hours or days, and can thus catch a glimpse of newborn black holes.
WHAT THEY FOUND: Whenever a massive star explodes, first there is a blast of gamma rays, followed by intense pulses, or "hiccups," of X-rays. There have been hints of such activity before, but Swift has detected more than a dozen clear cases of multiple explosions. Scientists are now exploring several hypotheses to describe this new phenomenon.
ABOUT BLACK HOLES: A black hole forms when a massive star has used up all its fuel and explodes, becoming a supernova or its more powerful cousin, a hypernova. The reason the Sun and other stars emit light is because trillions of nuclear reactions are taking place at the cores. With core temperatures of millions of degrees, hydrogen atoms can convert into helium atoms, emitting radiation in the process. At some point, however, all the atoms are used up and no more nuclear fusion can take place. Without that outward counter-force to the pull of gravity, a star collapses inward, eventually reaching a point where the attractive gravitational force is so strong, not even light can escape.
The American Astronomical Society contributed to the information contained in the TV portion of this report.

The US-based Renewable Energy Group (REG) has announced the purchase of a 15-MMgpy biodiesel production plant near Atlanta, Georgia. The company has not yet set a production date for the restart of the facility, which has operated intermittently since January 2008.
The US-based Renewable Energy Group (REG) has announced the purchase of a 15-million (MM) gallon-per-year (gpy) biodiesel production plant near Atlanta, Georgia.
The multi-feedstock facility, which will operate as REG Atlanta LLC, features easy access to major transportation routes in the Southeast. REG acquired the former BullDog Biodiesel operation for cash and in-kind consideration of approximately $2.6 MM.
REG President and CEO, Daniel J. Oh, stated, "Once repaired, upgraded and restarted, the REG Atlanta facility will offer us additional long-term capacity to meet high-demand diesel markets across the Southeast."
The company has not yet set a production date for the restart of the facility, which has operated intermittently since January 2008.
REG tolled the facility from April 2011 through April 2012 to support REG's biodiesel sales in the Southeast. BullDog ceased operations in April 2012 due to a combination of poor market conditions and upgrades needed to make the facility more efficient.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

| Posted by Jonathan Z. | (Santa Fe, NM)I ordered this grill, because it was a little cheaper than the T-Rex brand. It also had the three pieces for the bottom which I really wanted to cover with plastic. I was really amazed on how easy it was to take off the original grill and install this one. Great buy.

| Posted by Michael D. | (Alpharetta, GA)My son just turn 16 and he gets my G35 for his first car. Changing out the stock grille was our first of a long line of modifications he wants to make. This unit is all metal and fit snugly in place. Installation was easy. This was the perfect first modification, it was easy to do, it was not expensive and the look it gives the car is just what my son was looking for.

| Posted by Dave M. | (Vacaville, CA)Grille did not fit properly. It fits nice side-to side but not top to bottom. The top is tight and there is a 1/4 inch gap on the bottom. You can't slide the grill down any further to center it up because the fasteners on the bottom hit on the lower pan and prevent it. If the female threaded ferrules on the bottom were welded on 1/8 to 3/13" higher, one may able to center the grille up. Also, the grille had to be slightly bent/curved to match the contour of the front bumper.
