This course is designed to train teachers in specialist secondary teaching areas and also to prepare them to teach with an applied and vocational learning orientation.
The course is accredited with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT), which ensures that graduates will be eligible to apply for registration as teachers in Victoria and throughout Australia.
This course was developed in response to the changes now underway in education programs for young people that seek to use a more 'hands on' approach to teaching across the curriculum. These changes include the introduction of the Victorian Essential Learnings Standards (VELS); the Victorian Certificate of Applied Learning (VCAL); VET in Schools; and other Enterprise Education and Applied Learning programs in the lower and middle secondary school years.
These new programs have a distinctive applied learning orientation in curriculum and teaching approaches. The course also explores the use of applied learning approaches in the specialist teaching areas of the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and VET Training Packages that students are eligible to teach.
The course will particularly interest professionals and trade
people considering teaching as a career change opportunity
and who
have applied and vocational qualifications, for example those
with skills
» technology studies such as design and technology, food and technology, systems
and technology.
» Vocational Education and Training (VET): agriculture, automotive, building and
construction, business administration, Cisco, community services, clothing
products, dance, desktop publishing, electronics, engineering, equine industry,
financial services, fitness, food processing (wine), food technology, furnishing,
horticulture, hospitality (operations), information technology, laboratory skills,
multimedia, music industry, retail operations, seafood industry, small business
practice, sport and recreation.
» knowledge and experience which can be applied in a range of school studies
such as arts, science, mathematics, english, careers, information technology,
media, music, environmental studies, social studies, student welfare and visual
Graduates of the course will be eligible to apply for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) and will therefore be able to teach across Australia and in other countries where there is mutual recognition of VIT teacher registration agreements in place.
The applied nature of the course means you are provided with many opportunities to work closely with potential employers such as schools, TAFEs and ACE providers. You will be encouraged to draw on your prior learning and experience and to become involved in the partnerships and networks that support the work of educators across these different settings. In many cases you will contribute to the value of these arrangements as an applied learning strategy for meeting course assessments.
The course team works closely with all applicants for the course and the VIT to explore each student's potential specialist teaching areas in the middle years, VCE, VCAL and in VET. This strategy maximises your employability across all sectors of education and training that involve working with young people. The course lecturers are also active researchers in the field of applied learning and bring opportunities for students to participate in the most current research and developments happening in this field.
Once you have completed the Graduate Diploma of Education (Applied Learning)
you are also eligible to continue your studies in Applied Learning within Deakin's
Master of Education (MEd) and Master of Professional Education and Training
(MPET) programs.
Note: Please check with the Victorian Institute of Teaching for further information
regarding mutual recognition of teacher registration agreements.
The course team adopts an 'applied' approach to teaching, including participation in workshop-style intensive programs throughout the year. Much of the learning also takes place in education and training workplaces during Applied Learning teaching placements. The course is normally completed within one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study.
The course uses a mixed-mode delivery model which combines on-campus delivery, off-campus online study and a major component of work-based experiential learning in community youth learning sites such as schools, TAFE colleges, ACE agencies and vocationally relevant workplaces.

Online Reservations
Great food! Tapas style let us enjoy the wonderful flavors of several different dishes. Definitely going back!
Estadio brings everything together- -great food for sharing, lively and lovely ambience, interesting drinks, knowledgeable and attentive service. The downsides--reservations after 6 pm only taken fir groups of six or more and time-restricted on-street parking and no valet parking--are annoying but outweighed by all the positives.
Everything about Estadio delights the senses! The atmosphere is bright, lively and attractive. The tapas plates are absolutely beautiful and are wildly delicious! I will definitely place this restaurant at the top of my list of favorites, especially to entertain my sophisticated dining family and friends.
I reserve my "10" ratings for individual food items (rare) and almost never for an entire restaurant. However, Estadio is a true 10! It is a foodies delight - the small dishes are crafted with exquisite care and are an absolute delight. Especially 10+ were the scallops with cauliflower and saltbitaxa and the roasted baby corn with alioli, mahchego, basque chili and lime. I almost fainted, they were so good. . The manchego cheesecake with quince was right up there at the top too. My only regret is that I couldn't share it with my 14 year old foodie daughter. She had to make do with blow by blow text messages. Next time I'm in DC, Estadio is at the TOP of my list - hopefully with my little foodie by my side.
The food was very good. There were lots of fresh vegetable selections with locally grown ingredients. Also, the cocktails were delicious and innovative.
I became very fond of tapas during a recent trip to Barcelona and tried this restaurant shortly after my return. The food and experience were so fantastic that i returned shortly after, and expect to do so often. I ate once with a group and once in a couple and both were great evenings. Very authentic Spanish tapas coupled with a very contemporary DC ambience. Service was attentive and our servers were very helpful in helping us navigate the menu. All these things contributed to making these really wonderful evenings.
Friends recommended Estadio as a good place to host a small Sunday brunch. Our table near the front window was great. We arrived at opening time (11 am), and the establishment quickly filled with customers. Our server and the 'team' (who helped deliver the orders) were skilled and friendly; the food was delicious. As shared an appetizer of heirloom tomatoes with a scrumptious cheese, and one of my guests asked the waiter to bring more of the cheese because there wasn't enough for everyone to have a taste. I cringed, the request was very accommodated with a ramekin of the cheese delivered promptly. IMHO, the tastiest veggie dish in town is the 'carmelized cauliflower' - available here & at their sister restaurant Proof. We will return.
Food is authentic and reasonably priced. If you like seafood, then this your place. Even the grill octopus was tender enough to cut with a fork. Recommend reservations as there was never an empty table while we were there.
Love this place -- have never found myself disliking anything I've ordered. Always delicious w/great service.
The food was awesome, the service was great. We will definitely be going back.
Friends of mine are always raving about Estadio so I had to try it! The cocktails are very fun --seasonal slushies and other traditional Spanish libations with a twist! We ordered two apps (the fava bean dip and ham croquettes), but our waitress forgot to put them in, so the rest of the food we ordered came out first and threw things off (croquettes are delish, the fava bean dip just ok). We ordered the flank steak, grilled corn, heirloom tomato salad, and crispy pork belly sandwich and all 4 items were amazing. The grilled corn was the best by far, but may have tied with the pork belly sandwich (fyi it's small). We were there early, 6 pm-ish, and I think Estadio gets more exciting as the night goes on...!
Really enjoyed my first visit to Estadio! Food was interesting, portion size was better than most tapas-style restaurants. The creative touches were fun - especially the porcupine-looking fave bean spread.
I love the decor of this restaurant. It has a slight midevil deal to it in a classy way that makes it fun and trendy. The menu had many options and was easy to navigate, plenty of vegetarian choices as well that can easily be had vegan. The portions are small and priced appropriately which means you, along with a friend or two, can try many dishes. The cocktail menu was unique. We tried several and settled on the white and red sangria as our favorites. The service was attentive and our waitress knew the menu well and accommodated our special requests.
Estadio fills the bill. Delicious food. An epicurean delight. Momma don't fix it like this. Love those oversized ice cubes!
The menu and presentation are authentic and the closest we've found at home to the real thing we enjoyed in Spain. The octopus and pork belly are standouts!
I always enjoy this spot for a quick bite. Always best to make reservations.
Have made several visits to Estadio. The wait staff is exceptional in displaying genuine service to te customer. Food is interesting, great flavor, and "pretty!"
The food was wonderful, the atmosphere was jovial, but the waiters spent his entire time correcting my table's pronunciation, which was highly annoying.
This is my new favortie restaurant. The food is an innovative take on authentic BARCELONA dining. It is wonderful, as is the wine and cocktail list. The atmosophere is energetic and busy but the service is nonethless friendly and attentive. Tip--It is a really good palce to go with a varied group, such as one comprised of vegetarians and meat eaters.
Loved the atmosphere, great bar, though noise level was high, could talk easily. Service at brunch was casual, not rushed and accommodating. Pricey for small portions, but food was good. Will be back to try dinner there.
It's no surprise why this restaurant is so popular. The menu is exciting, the service is top-notch and the food is outstanding.
Friends have been raving about Estadio for years and this was our first visit. Since we had a show at the Studio Theatre, Estadio was an excellent pick. The food was amazing!!! I don't know why we waited so long to go here. The Grilled Octopus and the Grilled Pork Loin with the Crispy Kale are our favorites. We will be definitely coming back for more!!!
We have dined at Estadio a number of times since it opened. Now that it has received excellent reviews, we need to make reservations well in advance. We've enjoyed both brunch and dinner--excellent food and excellent service.
I have eaten at Estadio a half dozen times and have never been disappointed. On each visit, I have brought different friends; everyone has been pleased with the variety and quality of the food, as well as the atmosphere.
Went in for an early quick dinner. Very good. No problems. As hoped for. Will be back.
I hadn't been down the 14th St. corridor in years. It's really changed and this is a great venue. Great food and service!!!
Our server recommended about 12 different tapas, each one better than the last. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and explained each dish to us in detail. A foodie paradise with cocktails to boot.
Estadio is consistently above average for 14th street. The food is unique and memorable.
This is my absolutely favorite restaurant in DC! I take someone new with me every time I go to Estadio and they just love it. It is the only truly authentic tapas restaurant in the United States. You cannot get tapas like this unless you go to Spain or to Capetown, S.A. which also has an amazing tapas restaurant. Love it, love it! Your San Franciscan Foodie, Dr. Gilda
My wife and I had a wonderful early dinner of tapas with a good wine and their sangria.
This was my first time here and I'll be back! The food was excellent, especially the house made chocolate and hazelnut croissant! I would have appreciated a little more attention to re-filling my coffee, but other than that, the experience was awesome!
Right across from Studio Theatre, is a great restaurant serving mostly tapas sized dishes. It is also a lively bar spot as the evening wears on. The foie gras dish with the foie gras on buttered toast with intense grape sauce to decorate the plate and marinated hot apples. Delicious beyond words! We also had a selection of grilled garlic shrimp, heirloom tomatoes, wild mushrooms and grilled brussel sprouts...all very tasty. We followed with 2 desserts: manchego cheese cake and a pumpkin cake with ice cream and dulce la leche sauce. Dish were big enough to share among four of us. We loved the foie gras though so much that we ordered another. To drink, we chose gin and tonics made with their own in-house orange tonic...very refreshing.
We were a threesome having lunch on a rainyFriday. We ordered six plates to share and all we're delicious. Sitting in the window, watching the wet scene outdoors and enjoying the warmth, good tastes and good friends made for a perfect Friday.
In DC for the wknd, we got the last 6pm reservation. However, if you're unlucky and have to wait in the post 6pm dining line, rest assured, it'll be worth it. Tapas are always crowd pleasers, but THESE tapas were outstanding! The decor, servers and soundtrack are pretty hip for DC, but the food will put you in hipster heaven. The wine & sangria flowed while we enjoyed several veggie plates including mushrooms, brussel sprouts and blistered peppers. The calamari was a miss, but the pork belly sandwich and tortilla espanola were incredible. And the dessert was unreal. Really, like something out of dreams. If you like pumpkin pie -- do not pass go, do not collect $100 -- go straight to the pumpkin bread pudding. It's amazing!
We have dined here before and have enjoyed it every time. It's got a great location for pre-theatre dinner, and our server Daniel was attentive, well-informed, and even knew spanish wines. We loved the chicken and the beet salad was exceptional. We like the octopus but the calamari was a bit rubbery. The melon and seranno ham was terrific. We'll be back!
We were there early on a Friday evening.... about 5:30. By the time we left, it was starting to fill up and get a little noisier. I would suspect it's a rather lively place later in the evening! Excellent drinks. Prompt attentive service. Excellent food.
We went for an early Sunday dinner with friends as another friend had recommended the restaurant. The mixologist has crafted yummy sherry + gin cocktails - we each had 2 rounds however the red sangria was nada especial and for a spanish themed restaurant i was muy disappointed. BUT the food made up for the sad sangria...we are all pescetarians and could have not asked for a better mix of tapas. We all agreed we had only touched the tip of Estadios delicious menu...the ss crab, the octopus, mussels, halibut, brussel sprouts... flan + chocolate pie well, it was all amazing. go, sit + eat.
We sat in beautifully carved chairs and candle light. We got there around 6 pm and was fairly quiet. After 2 hours though the place was packed but not loud. The wine was some of the best I've ever had and the waitress really new the menu inside and out. We were full after only 3 tapas, which we would recommend in a heartbeat. The Potatas bravios, the wild mushroom, and the halibut in romesco sauce. Very romantic!
The pate, hanger steak and crispy duck were all delicious. The service was very good. The noise level is very high; the television screens seem like a needless distraction from what the restaurant can really provide.
I had read a ton about different restaurants in DC for my husbands' 30th. This was better than expected!!! I'd highly recommend the mushrooms, shrimp, scallops, pork belly, pumpkin dessert and Sherry float. We loved everything we tried here!
Wow--- everything was amazing... but if I had to pick 3 tapas. I would go with Hanger steak, Halibut and cod with orange and avocado... I would eat those every day. Service awesome; great wine list
My husband and I dined at Estadio recently for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We chose Estadio because our honeymoon was in Spain and we wanted to relive it through the amazing food we had there. Estadio definitely hit the nail on the head. The food brought back so many great memories of our honeymoon and our server recommended an amazing wine. My only recommendation would be to change the music to some Spanish guitar or something of the sort. The American music played took a little away from the ambience. But we will definitely be back and will recommend Estadio to all of our friends.
Stumbling into Washington for a last-minute weekend visit, I had no reservations at all. A quick visit to the Washingtonian website led to the discovery of Estadio. The food was delicious, ambiance and environment was cozy with stunning decor and design, and the staff were beyond friendly. Four of us enjoyed brunch there. Tons of options - it was so hard to choose. Everything we ordered surpassed our expectations. Prices are fantastic too - very affordable for the quality and quantity of food. I'll definitely return to Estadio again when I visit Washington next. A staple in the Washington food scene!
I went there with a friend from Spain and we loved it. The cheese plate was very tasty and the small plates were delicious. Excellent wine list. Will definitely go back next time I am in DC.
Estadio is one of my favorite spots for dinner in the area, so I was excited to try their brunch. I had the biscuits with manchego gravy and the bread with jamon serrano to begin. Both were delicious. The biscuit was a little dry-- more like a scone, but with the gravy it was very tasty. I had the hanger steak with eggs, as did one of my friends. The steak was cooked perfectly, but the eggs weren't cooked consistently. Mine were super runny (how I like them), but my friend's eggs were a bit overcooked. While how you like your eggs are a matter of personal taste, they should be consistent or ask for preferences. Overall, everything was very good. I would definitely go back .
Can't wait to go back and try a whole bunch of other dishses!
Our friends were in from San Francisco, a town know for its foodies. They were thrilled with the food, service and ambiance. Our waiter was extremely helpful making suggestions.
Our last attempt at tapas was at one of Jose Andres places, and let me tell you, Jose's place doesn't hold a candle to Estadio (sorry to hurt your oversized ego Jose...not). Every dish was absolutely fabulous; loaded with flavor, and decent sized plates (we were expecting smaller portions, and were happily surprised). The check came out less than we expected too (considering we had a bottle of wine too), so larger portions, smaller check, and wonderful food combined to make a fantastic dining experience. We will definitely return!
Excellent service, our waiter was knowledgeable and extremely helpful and hadi a very nice manner. Our selections were excellent on all counts, from the appetizers through to o desert they were different and tasty and the appropriate quantity. We had never been here before but now have to try the other two restaurants under the same management. Very convenient to be across the street from studio theater.
We had two of the gintonic cocktails one with orange peel and the other with red wine. Best creations that I have had all year, glad that they don't have these in Boston as I would be in deep trouble. The GF choc cake was out of this world. Kudos to all of you. I miss you already! Thanks for another lovely time and p.s. our waitress was fabulous.

Microsoft Narrows Shortlist for Next CEO

Believe it or not, Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, is a big Lebron James fan. He even uses LeBron to explain part of his own ultra-successful investing strategy.
Worry over a protracted government shutdown combined with concern about weak hiring combined to push stocks lower Wednesday.
Three of the top 20 investors in Microsoft reportedly are lobbying the board to press for Bill Gates to step down as chairman of the company he co-founded 38 years ago.
Bill Gates is the richest American for the 20th year in a row and has reclaimed the title of world's richest person from Mexico's Carlos Slim with a net worth of $72 billion.

Steve Ballmer will step down as CEO of Microsoft once the board finds a replacement, a move that comes amid slumping PC sales.
Microsoft says CEO Steve Ballmer will retire within the next 12 months, once it completes the process of choosing his successor.
Warren Buffett recently made a very public statement in praise of America's professional women. Here are a few other notables who have gone on the record in the same vein.
On Thursday, Warren Buffett joined Twitter, so if #socialmedia's your thing, we have a few ideas about how you could use it to interact with the Oracle of Omaha.
Two years ago, Bill Gates famously dismissed green energy as too inefficient and expensive to make a dent in global warming. Today, investors are beginning to agree.
Americans dominate global giving lists and surveys consistently show that the U.S. rich are far more likely to make philanthropy a priority. But some say they could give more.
CEOs of struggling companies managed to avoid the axe and will head into 2013 with their jobs intact... for now. We decided to take stock of a few of these endangered executives to assess which ones will get through 2013 in one piece.
By Joshua Berlinger
The research firm Wealth-X recently released a report listing the richest person in each U.S. state.
This new rich list shows...
Low interest rates have made convincing kids to open savings accounts a tougher sell. You can't just tell a 9-year-old to save because it's good for her -- you need an incentive, like prospect of a great return. So here are seven ideas to help your kids profitably put their money to work.
We have a ringside seat at the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting. Here's what Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha said in this year's Q&A.
What terrifies a man as smart and successful as Bill Gates? What's the real reason for his early retirement? These two words.
Facebook's initial public offering has focused yet another spotlight on its founder, Mark Zuckerberg. But beyond the IPO hoopla, there's another, quieter story to be found in the wunderkind CEO -- the lessons that can be gleaned from his life.
You don't have to be a billionaire -- nor a jolly, white-bearded figure out of folklore -- to make the holiday season remarkably sweeter for a stranger. Or a lot of strangers. Over the past few years, ordinary people across the country have been taking up the calling of Larry Stewart, the original Secret Santa.
Microsoft's Windows 95 rollout presented the most challenges in the company's history, leading to several last-minute changes to technical features that would no longer support a rival software maker's word processor, Bill Gates testified Monday in a $1 billion antitrust lawsuit filed by the creator of WordPerfect.
The nation's wealthiest are worth a combined $1.53 trillion, according to Forbes. And while there are many familiar faces on this year's list of the richest Americans, a younger group of entrepreneurs are quickly marching their way up the ranks.
Today's philanthropists are increasingly uncomfortable with the "write-a-check-and-forget-about-it" model. From Bill Gates to Philip Berber, they are taking a more active role in the way their money is given and the ways in which it is spent.
With more and more financial transactions being conducted electronically, it's easy to forget the physicality of money. What a dollar weighs, or a pile of them. So just for fun, let's start piling up the Benjamins and see what a pound -- or 10, or 100, or a ton -- of C-notes will buy.
This is Forbes' 25th year of tracking global wealth and it was one to remember. The 2011 Billionaires List breaks two records: total number of...
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has cut his stake in the world's largest software maker -- which he co-founded -- by 13% over the past year, InformationWeek reported.
Investors are buying into the meme that Windows is dying -- and therefore Microsoft is as well. While tablets are clearly cutting into the giant's core PC business, Microsoft is also showing remarkable agility in building new franchises for the future, the Kinect for one.
To wrap your head around how much someone like Larry Ellison makes, try comparing his compensation to the median income of an American household, $49,777. His 2008 take of $543 million is the equivalent the annual earnings of 10,908 average American families.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and sixteen other billionaires have recently signed on to The Giving Pledge, a philanthropic campaign that commits them to give at least half of their fortunes to charity.
Retirement these days doesn't sound like much fun. Too much scrimping and saving and trying to figure out how to turn a lousy Social Security payment...

Actually, I've long enjoyed your story based on the characters, good writing, and plot. The actor/actress give the character a face so I can remember the story better. It's also nice to fantasize about one of my fav couples together in such a good story. But had you used someone else instead of SFF, it wouldn't make me dislike Black Rose. However, I would not have the inspiration to make you the previous poster and the current work-in-process poster. Take Raymond/Selena for example. Had you paired Raymond and Tavia together, I would most likely have made a poster with them.
Btw, not to get you excited, but I think my work-in-process poster is my best work yet. I've learned a few new skills and really like the pics I've choosen. I'm usually quite lazy, but my love for this couple has given me a boost in energy and drive. I should be done with it tomorrow .

Energy Policy Scenarios to 2050
4.4. Scenario 4: Giraffe
4.4.1. Global Story
Gross Domestic Product
Every region sees this scenario as favourable to economic growth, driven by private sector cooperation and interdependence and strong cooperation, perhaps benign, between nations. This is limited only in Latin America by the inadequacies of existing infrastructures requiring significant government action, which does not occur in this scenario.
Neutral to declining rates of growth occur everywhere, although still positive. Higher migration to large cities and improved standards of living lead to declining birth rates.
Energy Intensity
Neutral to declining rates occur everywhere. This trend begins later in Africa and Latin America as technology transfer protocols take time to implement and create measurable effects.
The model leads to decreasing energy intensities although somewhat less than in the Lion scenario: 23% in 2020, 36% in 2035, and 40% in 2050 (see Figure 4-1 ).
Energy Mix
The energy mix in this scenario is more diversified everywhere, although later in Africa and North America. In the former, this is due to the delayed development of renewable energy without strong government incentives. In the latter, it is because of non-conventional oil and biofuels becoming more dominant. Nuclear power does not enjoy a resurgence under this scenario because of the low government involvement.
This continues to increase but begins to stabilise late in the period, most notably in Latin America and Africa, due mostly to decreasing energy intensity.
In the model, primary energy (modern) production for this scenario increases between 30-40% by 2020, over 80% by 2035, and over 140% by 2050, the result of unfettered cooperation and technology dissemination by industry (see Figure 4-2 )
Greenhouse Gases
Due to the lack of strong government involvement, Asia, Africa, and Latin America see greenhouse gases increasing until perhaps late in the period. In Asia, this increase is a factor of 3 to 4 in 45 years with 70-80% being from the economies of China and India.
The model for this scenario predicts CO2 emissions much greater than with any scenarios involving significant government involvement: almost 40% more in 2020 than 2005, about 80% more in 2035, and almost 110% more in 2050. These levels are the highest of all scenarios (see Figure 4-3 ).
Supply-Demand Tension
Tension tends to increase due to high oil prices driven by robust economies. The exception is Europe, which sees markedly decreasing demand because of those very same high oil prices.
Tension in the gas markets increases in all regions due to demand growth, industrial competition for the resource, and high oil prices. Europe sees the growth of high efficiency, gas-powered electricity generation in response to high oil prices. Latin America sees natural gas scarcity late in the period due to demand outstripping supply.
Tension is seen to increase in all regions, primarily as a result of weak government controls on emissions. Africa sees increased supplies of imported coal in its energy mix, but tension remains high during the period. The increase in tension in North America is lower than elsewhere as coal markets are well established and supplies are large. High efficiency coal (and gas) electricity generation result in increasing tension in Europe.
Nuclear Power.
In the absence of strong government involvement, nuclear power grows more slowly than in the Lion scenario, but tensions increase because demand outstrips supplies that are too small because of government inaction. Asia sees growth in all three periods nevertheless; with the exception of North America, all regions believe that growth will increase significantly in the last period to meet growing demand in expanding economies. North America believes that the demand will be met earlier and growth will stabilise.
Renewable Energies.
As in other scenarios, renewable energy demand outstrips supply, thereby increasing tension with little government ability to reduce these tensions. Africa sees cooperation enabling the introduction of renewable technologies. In Latin America, tension results in this scenario from a dilemma with hydropower, being desirable but forecasting difficulty for expansion due to environmental concerns (land use, loss of biodiversity, and resettlement). Solar and biofuels continue to expand.
Non-commercial Energy.
The results with this energy source are mixed, but in all cases, tension decreases with time as the private sector provides more modern energy services in electricity and transport. This is not surprisingly slowest to happen in Africa. It is again not an issue in North America or Western Europe.
4.4.2. Winners, Losers and Dilemmas
Due to the high degree of cooperation and integration on an international scale, energy companies prosper more in this scenario than in the Leopard or the Elephant scenarios. However, because governments are crucial to any effective global regime for reducing carbon emissions, any attempt to do this will meet with less success than in either the Elephant or the Lion scenarios. Little progress is also foreseen in this scenario on access to energy and energy services for the poor regions of the world.
An obvious dilemma with this scenario is how, with less government engagement, to provide guidelines and keep markets in check.

"They love me in the Chi but they see me on the go."
"Umm... Food?" is the first release off the upcoming debut album Can't Buy Class from Brilliant Genius Music Recording Artist Classick MC. Self produced by Classick MC and co-produced by Mingalingus. Classick MC lays out his plans for the future with this release and what sets him apart from other rappers. As well as explaining a little about the purpose behind his grind and making it as artists in Chicago. Joined on the track by fellow Chicago rapper Lyve who breaks down the pitfalls that come with success. With Classick reminding us on the hook that it takes hard work, team work and persistence to achieve your goals regardless what they may be. You only have one chance at life. Life has no repeats.
Following up completion of The Future Freshman EP with Classic Beats to be released First Quarter. Classick MC has been keeping busy in the studio putting together his debut album Can't Buy Class due to release Second Quarter 2013.

We all have special recipes tucked away � some more innocent, some less. (Brandy Baker / The Detroit News)
When I was single, I found a recipe for a decadent, moist chocolate cake with coffee liqueur in it that I rechristened �Man-Catching Cake.� Never did snag a guy with it; come to think of it, I don�t think I ever made it for my would-be husband when we were courting (though I did make it for his birthday the first year we were married). My friends and family liked it, though.
Turns out I�m not the only one who files recipes by romance. During our recent Let�s Talk Food on blueberries, reader Michael Farlin of Lansing mentioned a recipe for �Blueberry Boy Bait� cake that his mother, Naomia Farlin, had written down and used since the early 1960s.
An avid recipe lover who collected them from newspapers, magazines, friends and neighbors regularly, Naomia Farlin didn�t note anything as to the origin of this one, her son says, but she did write a note on the bottom:
�Recipe is a good one to use to �snag� a future boyfriend or husband.�
I love that little throwback. In any case, this cake sounds delightful for anyone; Michael Farlin says he uses the recipe to this day, and that it�s quick and easy to make.
Blueberry Boy Bait
One thing I really like about this recipe: it works with fresh OR frozen blueberries, making it an any-season winner. And I never think of cinnamon with blueberry; I bet this would be nice for a breakfast coffee cake, too. Courtesy Michael Farlin.
Cake topping ingredients:
3 tablespoons sugar
1 to 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cake ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour (unsifted)
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
� teaspoon salt
2⁄3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup milk
2 eggs
3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen; do not thaw frozen blueberries if using)
Preheat oven to 350. Butter a 13x 9 pan.
In a large bowl of an electric mixer, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix in the oil, milk and eggs. Beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. Pour batter into buttered prepared pan. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly on top of the batter.
Mix together the cake topping ingredients and sprinkle on top of the blueberries / cake batter.
Bake for about 50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Serve plain or with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
Do you have recipes most likely to be made for a date? We�d love to hear about it in the comments below the recipe. You need a Facebook account to add comments, but they�re free and easy to sign up for, which is how I managed to have one for years and ignore it except for this sort of thing. I�ll be keeping an eye out the next few days to respond to any great comments or questions you post. You can also follow me on Twitter @reentiz. Join the discussion!

Since we're not getting an official HMX announcement of DLC today, we figured we would try to rally the RBN authoring community to do a one time Friday announcement to ease the loss and pain of not getting our Friday fix.
So authoring groups if you've been holding back any unannounced artists or songs, or were about to announce something in a few days, why not just go ahead and announce it here.
Now as a disclaimer some of this stuff might be a ways out as we're looking for exciting news to announce to you guys, and some of that might come with the caveat of this is still in the infant stages. (meaning it's a done deal, but it might take a while for this to hit testing).
Sure this won't take the place of the official HMX awesome announcement threads, but it's better than letting you guys go cold turkey for an entire week.
So having said that we'll be announcing a few things throughout the day. Some big, some small, some might make you go meh, and some might make you poop your pants *THAT AUTHORING GROUP NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES THAT MAY OCCUR TO YOUR UNDER GARMENTS DURING SAID POOPING*
We'll start the thread off with a bang!
We've talked about this in the past, but it was an up in the air type of thing based on sales, or fan reaction, etc, etc.
However having said that we can finally announce that there will DEFINITELY be more Devin Townsend material coming after Ziltoid. We don't have specifics yet on what or when, we don't know if this is solo material or Strapping Young Lad, but Devin is 100% on board with bringing more songs to the game.
So that's our first whammy of the day! Any other authors want to jump in here and announce upcoming songs, artists, projects, or heck even contests then this is the place to do it!

The smart phone has generated a rising wave of technological innovation, and Hoboken, home to Stevens Institute of Technology and a community of tech savvy residents, is well-positioned to ride that wave.
That was the message that came from a conference last week hosted by Stevens and attended by public officials and technology industry figures to announce new initiatives to capitalize locally on the growing "Apps Economy."
Since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007, the openness of its operating system has allowed developers to create thousands of new applications for the device. The popular Apple phone and similar smart phones are believed to have generated $4 billion in sales in 2011, according to a report from TechNet.
Officials at the conference on Tuesday included U.S. Sen. Frank R. Lautenberg (D-NJ), Mayor Dawn Zimmer, and FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski.
"I think Hoboken is really well-positioned to be a tech hub given the community we have here." – Mayor Dawn Zimmer
During the conference, officials announced that the city will build work spaces, or "incubators," to provide guidance to help startup companies and entrepreneurs compete in the market. The hope is that the hubs will also attract investors and lead to job growth.
Zimmer said after the meeting that plans for the "tech hub" include physical space, office and technology resources, and access to mentors and venture capital financing.
A city spokesperson said that there are currently incubators located in the Hoboken Business Center at 50 Harrison St., and plans for additional spaces are currently in the works.
"Hubs will help to build a support network between growing startup companies," said Farvardin, "and to provide mentorship and guidance on how to compete in the technology market, assist with operating costs, and ultimately create sustainable job growth in the local community."
"We would like to see Hoboken and its surrounding communities become a kind of technology nexus," Farvardin continued.
Zimmer said after the event that Hoboken is an ideal location for technological innovation.
"We want to create more of that environment to help those startup companies," said Zimmer. "I think Hoboken is really well-positioned to be a tech hub given the community we have here. We have a lot of young, innovative people in Hoboken, and with Stevens here, a lot of technical capabilities."
Dr. Michael Mandel, Chief Economic Strategist at the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington, stressed the importance of staying ahead of the curve in the mobile applications industry.
"The U.S. has entered the early stages of a communications boom," said Mandel. "Today, growth is measured in apps downloaded and gigabytes used, rather than cars sold or homes constructed."
"This is an entirely new economic ecosystem coming into being, one that has only upside," continued Mandel, who added that New Jersey is fifth among states for app economy jobs as a share of total employment.
Officials also announced two additional initiatives: an app-creation challenge, as well as a proposed bill to spur technological innovation.
Competitive challenge
Genachowski announced the launching of the "New Jersey Apps Challenge," an app-creation competition among local students and alumni designed to spur continued growth in the mobile apps economy.
"This competition is a chance for students and recent alumni affiliated with NJIT [New Jersey Institute of Technology], Rutgers, or Stevens Institute of Technology to design an innovative market-ready app," said Genachowski. "I really do think it will help generate some great new ideas and highlight New Jersey's potential as a job creation engine in the digital economy."
Genachowski said that the new, faster 4G mobile networks are expected to add $150 billion in GDP growth over the next years, creating an estimated 770,000 new jobs.
Students and alumni can enter their applications through December 31. A panel of judges will evaluate entries based on several metrics, including overall utility and potential commercial success. Winners will be selected from each university to meet with the university presidents, and one overall winner will pitch their idea to Dennis Crowley, CEO of "foursquare," a social networking mobile application.
"New Jersey's students and entrepreneurs are on the cutting edge, and the apps challenge will showcase this next generation of New Jersey innovators," said Senator Lautenberg, who later added, "By bringing the brightest minds in business and academia together, we can help ensure that New Jersey continues to build on its rich tradition of innovation."
Future plans
Lautenberg also announced his plan to introduce new legislation intended to help concretize inventions and ideas. The bill is intended to spur the growth of high tech jobs and train scientists to turn discoveries into new products.
Titled the "American Innovates Act," the bill seeks to establish an "American Innovation Bank" to provide universities, researchers, and private companies with the funding for their inventions, discoveries, or products.
It will also seek to provide graduate science students with more curricula and training within the technological industry.

Drag on a smooth, soaring golf ball is created by the difference between high air pressure against the front of the ball and low pressure behind it, the latter caused by the laminar separation of airflow.
Dimples cause turbulence in the thin layer of air against the ball, which reduces airflow separation, creating more back pressure and thereby reducing drag.

In the NewsTourism receipts, arrivals hit new highs in TaiwanFo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaohsiung City is a popular religious site with overseas visitors to Taiwan. (CNA)
Taiwan's tourism receipts surpassed US$11 billion in 2011, up 26.4 percent from 2010, while the number of international visitors grew by 9.37 last year to reach 6.08 million, according to the ROC Council for Economic Planning and Development. "The two figures have both hit record highs, indicating that the ROC government's efforts in promoting the tourism industry have paid off," the CEPD said June 20. Mainland Chinese visitors were the largest source of foreign tourists, the CEPD noted. The council said it expects even more mainland tourists to visit Taiwan, following an agreement between Taipei and Beijing to allow more solo mainland Chinese visitors—as opposed to those traveling in tour groups—from more mainland cities to travel in Taiwan. The CEPD added that according to the Tourism Bureau's statistics, Taiwan's customs and culture, as well as its historical relics, are the two main reasons why foreign tourists come to Taiwan, while Jiufen and the National Palace Museum were the most popular traveling destinations in 2010. "Taiwan's religious activities are abundant and diverse, with well-known religious sites such as Kaohsiung's Fo Guang Shan Monastery, Nantou's Chung Tai Chan Monastery, New Taipei City's Dharma Drum Mountain and Taichung's Da Jia Jenn Lann Temple," the CEPD said. "Tens and thousands of tourists flock to attend annual festivals such as the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage, Donggang King Boat Festival and Tainan Yanshui Beehive Rockets Festival." The CEPD said the government is working on ways to better brand and promote religious and culture tourism to Taiwan, by integrating resources from the public and private tourism sectors. "We have budgeted NT$30 billion (US$1 billion) for a project aimed at enhancing the quality of local tourism, which we hope will help further promote tourism and sustainable development," the council said.

If it's possible to improve upon a simple baked round of Brie, then I think I must've done it.
Cooking and serving it in a baking dish rather than leaving it whole is nothing groundbreaking. It's so simple, in fact, I wondered why I hadn't thought of it before. I love baked Brie, but sometimes it can get messy. And so I figured, why not stick the whole thing in a baking dish and see what happens?
Well, as you can imagine, love happens. Rich, creamy, sinfully cheesy LOVE.

Wayne Law patent clinic benefits students, local businesses

The Patent Procurement Law Clinic at Wayne State University Law School gives students interested in patent law a major advantage, according to local attorneys practicing in the intellectual property field.
"Wayne Law has the only patent procurement clinic in Michigan, so if you want to be a patent attorney, you have to look at Wayne Law first," said patent attorney Christopher Darrow, who earned his law degree at Wayne Law in 2000 and his master of laws in intellectual property law at George Washington University in 2004.
He's a shareholder with Young Basile Hanlon & MacFarlane PC, a firm that specializes in intellectual property law, and a special master and technical advisor to federal judges on patent cases. He also was instrumental in developing the patent clinic last year at Wayne Law, which is the only school in Michigan — and among only 25 law schools nationwide — chosen by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as a participating patent clinic certified for the office's pilot program. Selected schools were praised for their intellectual property curriculum, their outreach to the community and their comprehensive client services.
