Carr gets on with Norton and Ross
2:44am Monday 26th August 2013 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2013
Alan Carr has insisted there is no chat show rivalry and said he swaps interview horror stories with Graham Norton.
The comedian, who hosts Channel 4 talk show Chatty Man told TV Times he got on well with his rival hosts - BBC One's Graham and ITV's Jonathan Ross.
He said: "Graham and I have mutual friends and we recently went to a gay wedding in Mykonos. He's a really nice guy, and we just sat on the beach and chatted about our shows.
"It's good to talk to someone and say, 'Did you have that guest? Oh my God, weren't they awful?' So we had a good old b****ing session.
"As for Jonathan, I think he's brilliant. I know it's boring because people want you to say, 'I hate them.' If you start hating people because they've got a chat show, that makes you a bit weird."
Alan also talked about his ideal guests: "I'd love to have Prince Harry, but I'm sure he won't come on. It would be great to have Lady Gaga come back because she was so much fun."
The new series of Alan Carr: Chatty Man is back on August 30.

His motet Let my prayer be set forth is written for double choir and was published by Dean & Sons in 1928. It is a setting of words from Psalm 141 and is unusual in that the two sides of the choir cantoris and decani are scored in four-part canon. That is to say that the second chorus imitates exactly what the first has sung at a distance of one bar a compositional technique which is embraced to great effect. The music fades away to a single note a unison E just as it began.

Port Adriano Golf Break
Winter 13/14
Golf courses to play:
Golf de Poniente
The course, styled by John Harris, offers a true sportive challenge. Because of the numerous ducks, swans and other types of birds, which cavort on the green, arises a natural atmosphere. |
Golf Santa Ponsa I
Golf Santa Ponsa I is one of Mallorca's Championship courses. It played host to the Balearic Open on six occasions between 1988 and 1998. It is probably one of the best known and most played courses in Mallorca and many celebrities from the world of sport, entertainment and politics visit the course. |
Real Golf de Bendinat
Bendinant is a little piece of art, which radiates the charm of something special. The course is surrounded by olive and almond trees and emits a particular peace. Attractive hill tees, artfully arranged water hazards and varied fairways make the game challenging. |
Further golf courses nearby:
Canyamel Golf
For Majorcan measures the perservance of the players is well put to the test here. The first part of the course is rather hilly and the fairways are very ample. Balls, once lost sight of, will disappear forevermore. The many bunkers and the precipitous rough make the game very challenging. On top of that there's the unpredictable wind. |
Capdepera Golf
Characterised through its 6 facticiously laid out lakes, ample, raised greens, with a run of long and wide courses combined with other more narrow ones, it fulfills all in all both the expectations of more experienced players and of the beginners. The first few holes are distinguished by long courses and several doglegs. The last part is embedded in the mountains and allows a beautiful view over the valley. |
Club de Golf Alcanada
The 18-hole-course of the Club de Golf Alcanada, situated directly at the sea, offers and almost ideal terrain, grown with olives, stone pines and oaks. Futhermore the view on the beautiful island Alcanada with its lighthouse and the mountains behind it. The golf architect Robert Trent Jones Jr. are responsable for the building of this course. A course, which you should have played. |
Golf de Andratx
Situated directly at the sea the course fits perfectly into the scenery. The very generously arranged course has an old stock of trees, numerous water hazards and typische Majorcan natural stone walls. The greens are of a great quality and several tee-offs allow breathtaking views on the bay of Camp de Mar. A little speciality: Andratx has the longest par 5 in Spain! |
Golf Maioris
The modern design, the extraordinary routing and the exceptional facilities promise pur golfing fun. The golf course is demanding and varied. The modern clubhouse, with view on 5 tees and 5 greens, doesn't leave anything to be desired. Additionally the golfers have the opportunity to improve their technique on the large training course. |
Golf Park Puntiró
The Golf Park Puntiró spreads over 66 ha. It offers a moderate level of difficulty and holes that sometimes demand precision and sometimes demand long tee-offs. The course was harmoniously integrated into the surrounding area. The Mediterranean flora with pines, wild olive trees, carobs and mastics was left in its natural state. The fairways are easily accessible because of a complete network of connecting paths. |
Golf Pollensa
With its perfect greens and neat fairways, many old olive trees, natural stone walls, two lakes and altitude differences of up to 35 m, this course challenges every golfer, but at the same time allows him to enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains and the sea. An expansion to 18 holes is in planning. |
Golf Son Antem East
Son Antem East Golf Course is set over an old hunting ground close to the Iberostar Resort and Spa. With beautifully modeled bunkers, lots of water and exciting planting this course promises much variety and excitement. Broad fairways don't bring to many difficulties and the water hazards don't exasperate the golfers right away. The risk here is calculable. |
Golf Son Antem West
The par 72 West Course provides an exciting challenge for golfers of all skill levels. The fairways are tight, and the course is laid out in open countryside that provides a true championship experience. The course features three lakes surrounded by five holes, and winds through native woodlands and the gently sloping hills to provide a picturesque experience of Mallorca's natural beauty. |
Golf Son Quint
The golf course Son Quint is a hilly, varied course with old olive trees, carobs and pine trees. From several holes you can enjoy the view on the city of Palma as well as on the bay and the sea. The greens are spacious, wavey and equipped with varied pin positions. Because of the multitude of tees the game can be designed for players of all handicaps. |
Golf Son Servera
Golf Son Servera is the second oldest golf course in Mallorca. It was opened in 1967. Now, in 2011, Son Severa expanded from 9 to 18 holes! That means more challenging fairways and fast greens on on a bigger and better playground! Surrounded by mountains the Son Servera Golf Course is hidden away in a quiet location at Costa de los Pinos. However, it is only a few minutes away from the sea and the resorts of Cala Bona and Cala Millor. |
Son Gual Golf
Thomas Himmel's design is well thought out and incredibly challenging, making the best possible use of the 156-hectares of gently rolling Mallorcan landscape. It is set amongst olive trees and grasslands - the first nine holes are outfield and the second nine, infield. The 7th, 14th, 15th and 18th fairways are stand-out holes. Short approaches, run-off-areas and 66 bunkers require precise playing techniques. |
Son Muntaner Golf
The course is considered, despite its short existence, one of Mallorca's best courses. Hurt Rossknecht created a truly dreamlike your on the northern outskirts of Palma. And as a special attraction the oldest olive tree of the island, the "Na Capitana", guards over the magnificent fairways. |
Son Quint Executive Course
Short but diverse: with nine par-3 holes the Son Quint executive Course is a perfect option for all golfers that have just started or want to improve their short game. With a total length of 655 m this is the only public Pitch & Putt course on Mallorca. |
Son Termens Golf
Expanded to 18 holes, this course is considered a true jewel. Demanding golfing in the foothills of the Tramuntana mountains challenges even practised players. The numerous water hazards are however also manageable by less practised players. |
Son Vida Golf
The oldest course of Majorca was built in 1964 and since then lost nothing of its splendour. The courses go around the Castel of Marquis de lo Torre and impress with narrow and difficult fairways on the one hand and ample, easier ones on the other hand. |
Vall D'Or Golf
This course is very suitable for ambitious golfers! Hilly fairways with a fantastic view over the landscape belie the true pitfalls of this course. Rapid greens, unfriendly roughs and partly rugged landscape stir the blood of aspiring golfers. |

III Forks Austin
Online Reservations
The service was wonderful. We enjoyed the live music of Austin and the energy it brought to the bar area. Once we were seated in the formal dining room you could still hear the music but it wasn't so loud you couldn't talk. Very beautiful!!! They fulfilled our special reservations request as well. The food was hot. The waiter knew exactly what was on the menu and was there to answer any questions. We will return again.
My girlfriend and I went form my birthday and the food was delicious along with the drinks. Our waitress was very personable and knew everything about the menu. I highly recommend.
We chose III Forks to celebrate our anniversary. (We had made reservations and made note of our anniversary.) From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we rec'd the "royal treatment." Service was very kind and very professional. Even though there were other guests in the same room we were, it was quiet. Food was good. We rec'd "congrats" from various members of the staff as well as the restaurant manager. He stopped by a couple of times to make sure that everything was to our satisfaction. We rec'd comp after-dinner drinks (dessert in a glass--outstanding!) as well as a comp dessert. Our picture was taken and given to us. Very very pleasant evening.
Make sure you ask for pricing on specials... we did not and were surprised that the specials were $75 each vs. most items in the $40 range. The food was excellent, but we felt that they were overpriced.
As always, the food at III Forks did not disappoint. I had the scallops, which were huge and delicious. Our server was friendly and helpful. However, my boyfriend had been entertaining the idea of proposing at dinner, so he called III Forks to see if there was anything special they could do. Thankfully he decided to have a special proposal before dinner, because it seemed like III Forks had no idea that we were even celebrating a special occasion, regardless of my boyfriend's call. I guess the moral of the story is... don't expect them to have any sort of recognition of a special event that you call ahead about. Still, if you're just in it for the meal then go for it! It is standard, quality steakhouse fare.
My dear friend and mentor and I shared a meal at III Forks this past Wednesday. Our waiter, Charlie, was fantastic! He helped me find a South African wine and helped my friend identify the perfect apertif. He has a great sense of humor and was very attentive without being "overly present". My friend had the Sea Bass which was phenomenal and I had the filet. It was so tender and flavorful. While there were a few groups of people seated around us, the noise level was low enough that we could have a great conversation and an evening of deep laughter. This was the first time I had been to III Forks for dinner and I will definitely return!
Waiter was excellent, food was great. Great extra attention for 37th anniversary including desert, special drink, and Happy Anniversary on menu and desert!
Had a great meal as usual. Celebrated with family and relatives from out of town. Very personable restaurant with excellent steaks and seafood. The creamed corn is fantastic and the best dessert is the bread pudding. Great wine list with several fine Spanish wines. Looking forward to our next visit. Usually come here for special occasions.
Years ago we had the pleasure of meeting Ernest, the general manager on our first visit to III Forks and he exuded a soft energy of a servants heart. We both believe that his example has set the tone of all he is in charge of and he and his team have consistently been this way every time we have dined with them. They always call us by our name and have made all of our special occasions, special. Finally, the food has always been delicious, we had the lobster bisque followed by bone in fillet this week for my wife's birthday...WOW/YUM
Had a regional VP from our corporate office in Chicago visiting Austin and took him to III Forks for the first time. He mentioned that he had not been to the III Forks in Chicago and didn't realize that there was one there. We had a great experience here and hopefully it will translate to future business for the Chicago location. Good Job!
The staff was extremely friendly, but still professional. The bartender provided information about the house vodka provided by a local shop - very nice. Everything from the bread and salad to the main course was quite delicious. The scallops had a beautiful presentation and tasted out of this world wonderful. And for a 5-star dining experience, we were surprised at the generous portions, and side-dishes that accompanied the meat. We even got a complimentary after dinner dessert shot for our anniversary celebration. Overall a great experience, and well worth the money.
We enjoyed III Forks for the typical business dinner. Food and service was excellent but the place is too dark. A bit pricey as well but someone else was paying.
I cannot thank III forks enough for the wonderful dining experience we had. It was my wife's birthday and everything was perfect. The waiters and maitre d' were all well educated and polyglots to boot.
We began with a cocktail; All of which were excellent. Two ordered martinis, the others a crown black with 7 and a cosmo (which was the best ever). Our waiter was delightful and his recommendations excellent. The Scallop appetizer was fantastic as well as the steaks the gentlemen had and the Chilean Sea Bass and Atlantic Salmon the ladies had. We all wished it was a place we could routinely patronize; but it is a special occasion place for us. And as a special occasion place, it was nice not to have to contend with unruly children.
Excellent. That sum it up !!! Everything was perfect for my husband 47th birthday celebration.
III Forks was recommended to me by co-workers as the place in Austin for a great steak. They were absolutely correct. The steaks enjoyed by my wife and I were done to perfection. But it wasn't just the steak that made us fall in love with the place and start to plan our next visit. It was everything from the seafood medley appetizer through to the bread pudding that impressed us with both the quality of the ingredients and presentation. We were particularly impressed with the cream corn that accompanied our main course and the homemade Irish cream. The staff was fantastic in terms of their knowledge and attentiveness. We particularly appreciated our conversations with manager who inquired about our meal and experience.
Our first time we asked for a small room and it was great for parties of 4-10 maybe - very quiet and wait-staff was attentive. This time out, we were seated in a larger room with tguests at three other tables. Our food was excellent again with very adequate portions and variety. Don't miss the desserts! Expecting a quiet environment, we were a bit disappointed - loud talking is unfortunately a norm in American restaurants and some American diners do not respect the fact that others are present. A full room might really disappoint. Ask for a quiet corner if that's important for the evening and its available, or expect a somewhat a more typical environment than is possible even with their efforts to dampen noise with wall coverings, etc
We just moved to Austin and were looking for a good steak. III forks is the place to go. The filet is amazing!
Great dinner as expected. One word of caution, ask for the price of the "off the menu" specials prior to ordering so you won't be surprised when the bill comes.
Awesome food. Was a little slow to get through our whole meal though - 2.5 hours.
This restaurant rates high in every one of our well-trained palates' criteria: lovely ambience, well-trained wait staff, spacious seating, fabulous wine list ranging from affordable to extravagant, and exquisitely prepared food you might never find anywhere else, such as the very-excellent bone-in beef filet. You won't be disappointed.
Courtesy appeared sincere from all with whom I came in contact. I had the Filet with a side of Mushrooms and Wedge Salad -all were absolutely fabulous.
Eaten here several times. Always with top notch results. Steaks world class. Creamed corn reason enough to eat here all by itself. Try the Cabernet from 75 vineyard. Great value. Sometimes though done ESA is a tax too so e so specify carefully. Chocolate mousse is to die for and cheesecake delightful way to end a feast.
After our cocktails at the bar we were escorted by a friendly and professional hostess to our table. Everything was timed perfectly. Starting with the succulent scallops. Then the wedge was perfectly proportioned as a great precursor to the entree. My ribeye was cooked at a perfect medium rare. The entrees came with sides opposed to the traditional a la carte. My friends lamb was THE BEST LAMB IVE EVER HAD! The wine list was reasonable for steakhouse standards and very extensive. We were so satisfied and full from our meal we insisted on no dessert but the manager brought us a round of digestif or their "dessert cocktails" which is even better! I can appreciate a restaurant that pays attention to details & executes at a higher standard.
My husband and I had never dined there before and loved our first experience. The III Forks salad was outstanding, very cold and crisp. Our fillets were melt in your mouth tender and seasoned just right. My husband finished the night with the bread pudding served with cinnamon ice cream and a Carmel pecan sauce. It was amazing!!
Best Cosmo I've had in ages! Not too sweet - just right. Food & service were excellent & it is conveniently located near ACL Moody Theater! We will be back for pre-show dinner and drinks.
The entire time I was enjoying the meal, I couldn't help from thinking that this was a new experience for me. I've eaten at Morton's Ruth's Chris, LG's in Plam Springs, Mastro's etc and have never had such a great combination of flavors. Superb!
I wanted a quiet, private setting for a business dinner with excellent wine and food. III Forks delivered. We spent about $900 for a party of six, which is steep but not out of bounds for the quality of the wine (3 bottles at ~$65 each), food (~$75 for the surf and turf special, which several people got), and experience. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars for service was that the quality of service fell off a bit the later it got, with our waiter asking simply, "Anyone want desert?" by the end of the evening. Recommended.
This is one of my favorite restaurants. The crab cake appetizer is very tasty and the Chilean Sea Bass is amazing. Love it! I'm more of a fish person but others in our party are steak and potatoes kind of people. My husband and son had steak and both said their steaks were great. We all had the III Forks salad and we all thought it was great. Atmosphere is relaxing and enjoyable. This is a great place for a special occasion or a business dinner.
the evening was excellent, from the waitress to the kitchen= wow...we had an outstanding experience with all aspects of the service...we arrived quite early and started in the bar...the bar tender was the start of a great night ending with a dining experience to die for... we would highly recommend this location to everyone...
My husband and I ventured from Harker Heights to III Forks to celebrate anniversary #7. Our table was lovely and our waiter was fun, energetic, knowledgable and very good at what he does. Our meal was delicious!!! And the wine was so good we ordered a second bottle. We have definitely put this on our favorites list! Perfect for a evening at the Longs Center since you can leave your car in the valet and pedi cab it across the bridge. Very romantic!!!! Highly recommended!
The server made our birthday/engagement celebration one to remember. She did an excellent job of delivering PERFECT service to our table, she advised us on what to order and how we should order the meat, perfect service. She had my pre-ordered flowers on the table before we arrived and served an incredible chocolate dessert that had "congratulations" and "happy birthday" written in syrup on a beautiful serving tray. The food was all prepared to perfection and was excellent. I honestly walked out of there and told my fiance that they could not have done a better job providing us with an incredible dining experience. Last, for a steak restaurant in downtown Austin, the prices were very reasonable! I 100% recommend this restaurant!
We changed reservations to be able to go to III forks at the recommendation of a friend. I am so happy we did. There were 6 people in our group and every one of us had a fabulous meal and experience. In a town where steaks are the main feature we were served the best, the cream of the crop. The wine, the side dishes and the creme brûlée were outstanding as well. At III Forks they have set the bar high. It will be tough to find that experience else where.
III Forks had an overall classy, relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. The steak was amazing, along with the mashed potatoes, vegetables, and appetizers. Although I was dining with a very large group, the service was excellent and very polite. I can't wait to go back for another special event!
The noise level remains moderate to allow for conversation without screaming, even in larger groups.
I've been to a couple other steak houses in Austin and this one is the best! We had the special bone in filet, the regular filet and the sea bass...and three desserts. Every single bite of each dish was outstanding. I really like that they serve some sides and vegetables with each dish instead of making everything a la carte too. The entire wait staff was friendly, accommodating and unpretentious. I would go back again, again and again.
Since we arrived before 5:30 pm the sun was shining, your eyesight needs to adjust to the dim lighting of the dinning area. We shared the a delicious 20 oz rib eye that was just right for both of us, which came with okay mashed potatoes, with a crisp sugar snap peas plus a good tasting bread. The dinner included cream corn, it had a certain taste, the other person with me said that it seemed that they had added sugar? I ordered a red wine that was from Sonoma Valley $20 dollar glass, very smooth and no bitter taste! We also enjoyed the 111 fork salad, with different greens, nice crisp slices of green apples and pecans, with balsamic dressing.
Nice experience the food was good but not memorable
III Forks was elegant, distinguished, and set the perfect ambiance for a very pleasant and productive business dinner.
III Forks is one of the best steakhouses in Austin. The steak, seafood, sides, and desserts that we had were all excellent. This is now one of my favorite places in Austin to enjoy a nice meal.
Enjoyed another fantastic meal with 9 other family members. Thes steaks and seafood are absolutely great. My son from Washington, DC a frequent steak eater on his travels, told us his NY Strip steak was the best he has ever had. Lobster bisque is first class as is the wedge salad. For veggies, the snap peas and creamed corn are the best. Execellent wine list - we had a bottle of Martin Codax Albarino and Fuentespina Ribera both from Spain. Bread pudding out of this world. This is a great place for a family special occasion dinner. The service is excellent also.
Recommended by several friends and it lived up to its billing. Very enjoyable evening.
Great food, Great wine list, nice ambient. Fantastic to spend good time with friends
Reservation was made 9 months in advance to make sure that we could get in - it is that good! Service was first class, table was ready, food was also first class. A memorable evening.
Service was excellent from the moment we walked in. The food was excellent, I had a filet, my mate had a NY Strip. Both were done perfectly - tender and tasty. The crispy pull apart bread was a real pre-dinner treat. The wine list seemed to be pricey but there were several less costly choices. One GREAT feature is that the meals include reasonable portions of sides unlike many steakhouses where you have to pay outrageous prices for oversize portions of vegetables or potatoes. All in all a great find that I will visit again next time in Austin.
This place is my favorite steak house, bar none. Awesome food, cooked to perfection, great service ... what more can you ask for?
Had great options for thanksgiving, including a prefix menu with turkey. The waiter had a great attitude, even though he had to work on a holiday.
As always, III Forks did not let us down. Our family decided to have Thanksgiving Dinner out instead of our usual affair. My In-Laws came in, as well as our kids from College. The restaurant had a beautiful table arranged for us where it was quiet and relaxing. The food was exceptional, the service impeccable, and the entire event was extremely pleasant. My In-Laws are now III Forks fans, and I scored some much needed family points!!! If you have not dined at III Forks yet, you need to place this establishment on the top of your dining list... You will be glad you did!
Food was excellent, side dishes amazing! Our server Kelly was great, I made another reservation for New Years Eve and requested he be our server again.
The food was good and the service was great. Would have liked a larger variety to choose from on the menu.

Ethiopia and Tanzania 'hotspots' for animal diseases killing humans
Kenyan scientists from ILRI have released a new global study mapping the diseases humans get from animals, which presents a 'top 20′ list of geographical hotspots, including both Ethiopia and Tanzania, and highlighting the danger of human disease from transboundary livestock trading and poor farm management.
The study, dubbed Mapping of Poverty and Likely Zoonoses Hotspots,was conducted by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), the Institute of Zoology (UK) and the Hanoi School of Public Health in Vietnam.
From cyst-causing tapeworms to avian flu, zoonoses, which are diseases transmitted from animals to humans, present a major threat to human and animal health according to Delia Grace, a veterinary epidemiologist and food safety expert with ILRI in Kenya and lead author of the study. "Targeting the diseases in the hardest hit countries is crucial to protecting global health as well as to reducing severe levels of poverty and illness among the world's one billion poor livestock keepers."
"Exploding global demand for livestock products is likely to fuel the spread of a wide range of human-animal infectious diseases," Grace added.
According to the study, Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania in Africa, as well as India in Asia, have the highest zoonotic disease burdens, with widespread illness and death.
Meanwhile, the northeastern United States, Western Europe (especially the United Kingdom), Brazil and parts of Southeast Asia may be hotspots of 'emerging zoonoses'—those that are newly infecting humans, are newly virulent, or have newly become drug resistant.
The researchers initially reviewed 56 zoonoses that together are responsible for around 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million human deaths per year. A more detailed study was made of the 13 zoonoses identified as most important, based on analysis of 1,000 surveys covering more than 10 million people, 6 million animals and 6,000 food or environment samples.
The analysis found high levels of infection with these zoonoses among livestock in poor countries. For example, 27 per cent of livestock in developing countries showed signs of current or past infection with bacterial food-borne disease—a source of food contamination and widespread illness. The researchers attribute at least one-third of global diarrheal disease to zoonotic causes, and find this disease to be the biggest zoonotic threat to public health.
Among the high-priority zoonoses studied were 'endemic zoonoses', such as brucellosis, which cause the vast majority of illness and death in poor countries; 'epidemic zoonoses', which typically occur as outbreaks, such as anthrax and Rift Valley fever; and the relatively rare 'emerging zoonoses', such as bird flu. While zoonoses can be transmitted to people by either wild or domesticated animals, most human infections are acquired from the world's 24 billion livestock, including pigs, poultry, cattle, goats, sheep and camels.
Currently, nearly three-quarters of Kenyan rural families and many others in urban areas depend on livestock for their food, income, traction, manure, or other services. However, despite the danger of zoonoses, the growing global demand for meat and milk products is a big opportunity for the livestock keepers.
According to Steve Staal deputy director general-research at ILRI, this increased demand will continue over the coming decades, driven by rising populations and incomes, urbanization and changing diets in emerging economies, and greater access to global and regional meat markets. This "could move millions of poor livestock keepers out of poverty if they can effectively participate in meeting that rising demand".
But zoonoses present a major obstacle to such returns. The study estimates, for example, that about one in eight livestock in poor countries are affected by brucellosis, or what is commonly known as lung plague, which reduces milk and meat production in cattle by around 8 per cent.

American Anthropological Association Summer Internship Program
Program Details: The American Anthropological Association is pleased to offer two internship opportunities funded by member donations and one internship opportunity funded by the Association for Feminist Anthropology for the summer of 2013. Internships are six weeks in length from June 30 through August 17, 2013. Internships are unpaid however; interns will be provided housing and a meal/travel stipend.
Interns will spend approximately 40 percent of their time working onsite at the AAA offices in Arlington, Virginia, and the other 60 percent of their time working on-site at one of three locations described below.
Click here for application and instructions.
NHHC Internship The Underwater Archaeology Branch (UAB) of the Naval History & Heritage Command (NHHC), the official history program of the Department of the Navy, is located at Washington's historical Navy Yard. The office serves four main functions:
Interns can expect to work on tasks such as: preparing, undertaking, or following up on field investigations; conducting archaeological and historical research; reviewing, editing or preparing reports; synthesizing information and preparing policy or case study briefings; conserving artifacts; assisting with the UAB artifact inventory, management, and loan programs; coordinating partner and inter-agency correspondence; and participating in public outreach and education initiatives such as tours, lectures, presentations, and web presence.
National Museum of African Art Internship The National Museum of African Art has the largest publicly held collection of contemporary African art in the United States. This collection includes more than 9,000 objects representing nearly every country in Africa dating from ancient to contemporary times, and includes textiles, photography, sculpture, pottery, paintings, jewelry and video art.
According to the Smithsonian, the museum's mission is to foster the discovery and appreciation of the visual arts of Africa, the cradle of humanity.
The selected intern would be placed in the museum's curatorial department, and their assignment would include object-based work related to a future exhibition.
An interest in gender theory as it relates to African culture and art is required for this internship, as well as a background in curatorial practice and procedures.
AFA 25th Anniversary Internship
The Association for Feminist Anthropology (AFA) has several initiatives planned for 2013 in celebration of our 25th anniversary as a formal section of the AAA. One of these initiatives is the release of a brief report on AFA's history based principally on records housed within the National Anthropological Archives (NAA) of the Smithsonian Institution. This report will be researched and authored by a summer intern under the supervision of Dr. Jane Henrici, AFA President.
AFA promotes feminist anthropological methods, theories, pedagogy, and applications across all anthropological subfields and occupations. Providing support and guidance for an intern to undertake the primary work on this history is both reflective of AFA principles and helps to honor those who worked so hard to get gendered inequities recognized and critical responses integrated throughout anthropological scholarship and practice.
The intern selected for this research and writing project will prepare an historical study on the AFA and feminist anthropology through an examination of the NAA AFA archives and supplemental university library materials. If time allows, the intern also might conduct a select number of interviews with knowledgeable AFA members.
The intern will produce a draft of the AFA's history, a works cited/reference list, and an additional resources section for readers interested in related readings and websites. In addition to preparing the complete draft of the formal report, the intern will be asked to provide informal blog posts and other short updates to AFA social media sites. There may also be opportunities to speak publicly about this project while in Washington, DC and at the 25th Anniversary AFA Business Meeting during the AAA annual meetings in Chicago. The internship will have off-site supervision maintained through daily email correspondence and weekly office or archive meetings by Dr. Jane Henrici, AFA president.
Applicants are welcome who express interest in issues of gender, intersectionality, and feminisms; are skilled at working independently to complete the steps needed toward a publication including fact-checking and copyediting; and who enjoy the work of historical investigation.
AAA On-Site Activities AAA activities will include the following:

MUSICAL EVENTS about Greek composer Iannis Xenakis (1922-2001). Writer describes Xenakis' first-hand experience with extreme violence in the streets of Athens and the fearsome scars that set him apart in the chic, brainy world of postwar avant-garde music. Writer discusses his primary theoretical text, "Formalized Music" and Xenakis' mathematical propensities. Yet Xenakisis is more than cerebral artist. The Drawing Center is currently exhibiting his compositional, mathematical, and architectural sketches. Xenakis' architectural background places him in a rare category: he expanded the possibilities of two distinct domains. Xenakis escaped to France in 1947 and became assistant to Le Corbusier. Yet music ultimately exerted a stronger hold. Writer describes "Metastasis," his breakthrough orchestral piece (1953-54) which involves the translation of shapes into music. Most of Xenakis' architectural projects were largely left unrealized. Some, like Cosmic City, were unrealizable. He did mesmerize crowds with multi-media experiences, or "polytopes." Farah Pahlavi, wife of the Iranian Shah, commissioned Xenakis to design a vast arts complex for Shiraz, but he withdrew. Xenakis found new ways of translating images to sound, and his final works tend toward extreme density. Writer describes two recent concerts: Steven Schick's hyperathletic interpretation of percussion piece "Psaphha" (1975) and JACK quartet's rendition of "Tetras" (1983). "Psappha" involves multiple instruments and "impossible" moments, which Shick calls "koans" but has a surprising emotional acuity. "Tetras," a quartet worthy of comparison to Berg, Ives, Bartók, and Shostakovich, is a riotous celebration of elemental sound. Xenakis sought a total exaltation in which the individual loses consciousness, and these performances came exhilaratingly close to meeting this unattainable goal.

Rachel Katz
When Rachel Katz applied for a Fulbright Scholarship to study the trucking industry in China, she didn't mention her plan to hitchhike around the country. If she had, neither the Chinese nor the American government would have been likely to approve the plan.
She just went for it.
"I got in a truck one day to go a short distance, and then I schemed and decided to go all out," Katz told Business Insider. "In terms of ethnographic research this was a dream come true."
During the first six months of 2011, the 23-year-old hitchhiked over 8,000 miles across China on long haul trucks. Believe it or not, she says she never felt like she was in personal danger.
Katz shared some pictures from her trip, which she plans to turn into a book. She is working now as a consultant at McKinsey.

While there are competing theories regarding why dogs and cats consume grass, a conclusive answer has yet to be supported by scientific study. Here's a brief overview of the current speculation
• They simply like the taste and texture of the grass and eating it provides a sense of satisfaction• It's an ancestral thing – prey of wild dogs and cats frequently have grasses in their intestinal system, and domesticated dogs and cats still yearn for grass in the diet• Our companion animals know of some nutritional value in grasses that we have yet to find out (like antioxidants or something similar)• They do it to provoke vomiting if they've eaten something that has upset their stomachs• They are augmenting their keen sense of smell with taste to uncover more about their environments
Although we may never know the exact reason why, we do know that this is one of the most often asked questions posed to veterinarians. If you notice excessive grass-eating with either your dog or cat, you should consult your vet.

I have had dogs throughout my life that eat grass. Each of them seam to do it differently. Some did it all the time, while other seamed to only do it when they were feeling ill. I'm intrigued that so many theories have been put out. I am simply wondering if it can be harmful in any way?

My dog is an Austrailian Cattle dog mix and she too has always eaten grass. She will grab a huge clump of it with the mud still attached and eat it. Any kind of grass will do but there is a preference for the soft mossy grass that grows in the culverts. This drives me crazy since she is taking chunks out of other peoples lawns but I can't seem to stop it. Also it does not make her sick or vomit. Any advice or thoughts would be great.

Cold Turkey Day good for travel
Happy Thanksgiving from Weather Watch 12. What a difference a year can make. Last Thanksgiving it was 63 degrees. This year we won't even get to freezing. Some of you will have a white Thanksgiving. That has not happened in Milwaukee since 2007.
Outside of the cold weather, the good news is we have very quiet weather for travelers. If you are driving on Thanksgiving most of the state will be dry. There will be a few lake effect snow showers way up north. If you are heading east and driving in Indiana or Michigan you need to be aware of heavier lake effect snow on I-94 and I-80. If you are traveling by air, most of the country is pretty quiet. The big east coast storm is moving out.
Black Friday shoppers should be in good shape as well, just be ready to bundle up. Highs on Friday will be in the low to mid 30s. The weekend weather is looking quiet. No big storms until the middle to end of next week.
Have a safe and happy holiday. Remember to stay off the ice that has started to form. It is way too thin.

Space is both heaven and hell rolled into one. Everything you could possibly dream of is probably lying around somewhere in space. But nightmares are dreams too.
Space is silent, dark, and cold. It's vast and completely indifferent.
When humans first colonized space, we thought we took every precaution. Planets and moons were terraformed, closed environments were set up, and they even genetically altered people to live on those planets. These genetically altered people are nicknamed aliens, though they're really just subspecies of humanity.
It wasn't enough.
Hiding in the dark reaches of the solar system, there lied a dark secret, a twisted evil. It was not some ultra advanced civilization, but something else. It was a creature made from viruses, similar to how a human is made of cells. The parasite could infect humans and similar organisms, and turn them into undead monsters. Or, even without a host, it could become a monster.
This is the story of a paramilitary team consisting of people of diverse backgrounds (police, army, navy, spies, ect) as they rise through the ranks, going from municiple 'beat cops' to being the saviors of the solar system. Oh yeah, and this would also only take place in our solar system, with real moons and planets for locations. It is worth noting, however, that all the planets are somewhat terraformed. Not enough to be anywhere near as human-safe as Earth, but enough that you can breathe the atmosphere and not worry about your lungs rupturing or your blood boiling. Aliens can survive on their home planet comfortably, however.
Weapons used in this world:
-Hand-to-hand: Weapons that involve martial artistry. For example, boxing gloves, brass knuckles, and claws.
-Melee: Weapons that one swings at people. Swords, clubs, axes, knives, the list goes on.
-Energy Weapons: These are weapons that fire plasma and...energy. For example, lasers, arm cannons, flamethrowers, proton packs, plasma pistols, ect. People who use them are called 'zappers'. They're less powerful than conventional firearms, but they tend to cause effects onto an enemy that make them more vulnerable. These effects aren't as strong as psionic affects, but they have more range.
-Psionics: Through the use of nano-technology, mind scanning technology, and superconductors, people can use psionic abilities, similar to the force. This can do everything from telekinesis to mind control to ki blasts. They have less range than energy weapons, but the effects are stronger.
-Conventional Guns: Firearms that fire solid projectiles. They're pretty good for straight-up ranged combat
-Drones and vehicular weapons: They're pretty self-explanatory.
Would this interest anybody? I'm also having some trouble thinking of idea for aliens. They don't need to be super-original.

After Vogue Italia's webcam and YouTube issue back in January 2007, Steven Meisel has always moved with the times and has never been afraid to take risks with content and covers - remember the black models-only issue this summer? This month we're treated to more of-the-moment topics with an issue devoted to Twitter and Twitpic.
The December 2009 cover features Gisele Bundchen, Lara Stone, Christy Turlington, Kasia Struss and Natalia Vodianova in photos they took themselves in an ode to Twitpic, hence the spread name, MeiselPic. We love it, just a shame we're never going to look this good in our own Twitpics!

Justin Woods discovers more than bones from a Tyrannosaurus rex when he excavates the Badlands of Wyoming. Watch his story on why the Adventist Fundamental Belief of Creation matters to him.
Seventh-day Adventists accept the Bible as the only source of our beliefs. We consider our movement to be the result of the Protestant conviction Sola Scriptura -- the Bible as the only standard of faith and practice for Christians.
I was born to reflect the image of a God who is powerful enough to create my universe, attentive enough to hear my prayers and loving enough to be defined by self-sacrifice. I find my greatest fulfillment on a journey toward purpose and wholeness.
Many have tried to determine what constitutes the essential human endeavor. For some it is to be known and for others it is to be loved. For many it is to make a lasting mark on the world so that the impact of one's life continues to have significance.
When the Creator breathed the breath of life into the nostrils of Earth's first parents the act of giving human life was the culmination of a larger scope of work.
The ultimate demonstration of love is to serve. Setting aside our own agendas, in service we live out our commitment to the well being of others, often to our own discomfort.
One of the things I appreciate most about Jesus Christ was His ability to defy convention and live his own life, even though many considered it scandalous.
I haven't tried to be scandalous, but I have tried to defy convention about what it means to be a pastor, and by extension, a Christian. For me, Christians aren't just people who subscribe to a system of beliefs - they embrace life and accept its many challenges.
Seventh-day Adventist beliefs are meant to permeate your whole life. Growing out of scriptures that paint a compelling portrait of God, you are invited to explore, experience and know the One who desires to make us whole.

B A+F Transportation: The subway stops right outside the gates of campus and goes straight downtown. In general public transportation is pretty good in New York, why anyone drives around here is beyond me.
B A+F Transportation: I commute in from a nearby town, which takes me ~1hr each way. Driving in Manhattan is frustrating at best, and parking is either impossible or expensive. The subway is a student's best bet.
A+ A+F Transportation: We have public subways, taxis and buses that run 24/7.
A+ A+F Transportation: I prefer to walk everywhere, but if the destination is over 30 blocks then the subway is always running and easy to use. If you don't want to wait for the mass transit, there are taxis everywhere that can be hailed or contacted via phone or computer.
A- A+F Transportation: The public transportation system in New York City is one of the most efficient in the U.S. You can get to any place in the city within 30 minutes, with options for local and express routes to your destination. Columbia, in particular, has public safety cars that provide transportation for students during certain night hours.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Sara Cervantes
Right outside of Columbia's gates is a 1 train stop and several bus stops. This means access to just about anywhere in the five boroughs. Public transportation is a wonderful resource, and the only sort of transportation you will ever really need. Though it can be faulty on weekends and late nights, the relatively cheap cost and predictability means that it is an ideal way to get around the city. For those who are in a hurry or don't feel safe riding the subway (a fairly groundless fear—subway stations have attendants and are filled with cameras), cabs are a much more expensive option. Not in a hurry? Try walking or taking the bus! It's slower, but you get to see the city and, as a result, get to know it better.
A resource which few students take advantage of is the evening shuttle. This shuttle has several routes and will take you all over the Morningside Heights area. It is especially helpful for evening runs to Fairway Market located in Harlem. This massive grocery store has great prices, and the shuttle makes the trek back to campus much easier.
Ask attendants at subway stations for maps and schedules. Fare is typically $2.25 for a subway or local bus ride. You can buy a 30-day pass for $104.
