A 39-year-old house guest has been charged with murder, accused of killing his ex-girlfriend and her new partner who'd been hosting him, dismembering their bodies and dumping them in a river.
Roger Bowling faces two counts each of first-degree murder, mutilation of a body and having a firearm in a felony, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said Sunday in a statement. First-degree murder carries a mandatory penalty of life in prison without parole.
Bowling also is charged with tampering with evidence, the office said. He was arraigned Monday in Allen Park District Court.
WATCH:Uncut: Roger Bowling arraignment
The dismembered bodies of Chris Hall, 42, and his 32-year-old fiancée, Danielle Greenway, were found Tuesday in the Detroit River and a canal that feeds the river, a mile-wide body of water that separates Detroit from Windsor, Ontario. A circular saw and a suitcase were also discovered.
Before Bowling's arraignment, an Allen Park police officer read a report that detailed what detectives found inside the couple's home on Ann Street.
"According to the Michigan State Police crime scene personnel, copious amounts of blood were found located inside the home. Evidence of gunfire within the home was also noted, with two rounds and one fragment being recovered," the report read. "Michigan State Police personnel also found evidence that there was an attempt to cover up the crime scene. Numerous cleaning products and supplies were present within the residence."
Bowling was remanded without bond until his next hearing on Aug. 6. As he was being walked out of the courtroom Greenway's mother, Lila Greenway, yelled out, "burn in hell!"
One of Hall's relatives went to the house last week to check on his whereabouts and confronted Bowling.
"He was hiding in the house and my sister pushed on the door and found him there," said another sister, Laura Robichaud.
She said Bowling denied knowing where they were.
Relatives reported the couple missing Wednesday after having no contact for at least five days.

Kenyan pastoralists key in eradicating cow plague
The buy-in by Kenyan pastoralists into the eradication of the deadly rinderpest disease was instrumental in bringing a permanent end to the disease, according to the International Science Journal. On taking up the cause, the pastoralists achieved higher than 80 per cent herd immunisation in a week, which represented far higher levels than previously achieved by veterinarians.
It was an engagement that has ended a disease that was capable of knocking out half a herd or more within days.
As part of a public-private-community partnership that lasted eighteen months, scientists working on the eradication of rinderpest, especially in Africa, led by ILRI's Jeffrey Mariner, who is also credited with inventing the temperature-stable rinderpest vaccine,trained local pastoralists who were willing to travel on foot and able to work in remote areas—on how to deliver the new vaccine.
The pastoralists carried the vaccine from herd to herd, immunizing all the cattle in their communities.
The local herders performed better than veterinarians in the proportion of herds immunised, to such a degree that the result was the eradication of a disease that had plagued most of the world for millennia. The pastoralists were not only good at delivering the vaccine, but also knew more about the disease and how to stop it than many of the experts.
Scientists have launched a project to develop a vaccine for the eventual eradication of the fatal Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), commonly known as lung plague. The highly contagious bacterial disease present in some 26 countries in Africa is estimated to be costing Africa's 24 million livestock farmers some $2bn a year in losses.
The project, an initiative of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) and the international Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), in partnership with the Vaccines and Infectious Diseases Organization (VIDO) of Canada, hopes to develop a vaccine that is affordable, heat stable, easy to administer and with little or no side effects, within the next five years.
"We want to move from just control of the disease to the total eradication of the disease in Africa like the rest of the world has and the team that has been involved in the research has come up with positive feedback that we can indeed eradicate the disease completely from Africa," said Dr. Peter Ithondeka the director of veterinary services at Kenya's Ministry of Agriculture.
While vaccines for the lung plague do exist, they have not been practical in the African environment. "This explains why the rest of the world has been able to eradicate the disease, but we haven't managed to in our region. The vaccines that exist are not very effective, since, for example, they cannot tolerate climatic conditions in Africa since some need to be transported long distances to reach the livestock farmers. There is therefore need to have a vaccine that is responsive to African conditions," said Hezron Wesonga, a scientist from KARI who is also a lead researcher in the CBPP vaccine project.
The lung plague is one of the three major cattle plagues with the other two being Rinderpest and Foot and Mouth Disease. Although Rinderpest has been substantially contained, Foot and Mouth is still widespread all over the world, while CBPP has been eradicated from all parts of the world except Africa.
The disease which was introduced to the continent through livestock imports in 1853 has managed to beat scientists on the continent due to its transboundary nature. Livestock owners move livestock from one area to another looking for market and any contact between infected and uninfected livestock leads the disease to spread. Control methods suchas restrictions on animal movement and the use of live vaccines have failed to work effectively in Africa, with studies concluding that the disease cannot be eradicated in African conditions using these control methods since livestock farmers have to keep moving in search of pasture and trade.
" An outbreak of CBPP in one herd poses a threat to neighbouring herds when movement control is not enforced. The disease has therefore to be controlled from a national and regional approach. Once the effectiveness of this potential vaccine has been demonstrated, stragegies to avail to the farmers will be designed," said Kenya's Livestock Development Minister in a speech read on his behalf by the director of veterinary services Dr Peter Ithondeka.
The $3.7 million project is being funded and supported by Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) under the Canadian International Food Security Research Fund which brings together Canadian and developing countries researchers to produce lasting solutions to combat hunger and food insecurity in the developing world.
"The project combines the vaccine expertise of Canada's Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization with the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute's and the Kenya-based International Livestock Research Institute's know-how and skills in infection and handling of cattle with CBPP," said Hezron Wesonga.

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.
Goat keepers are recording new cases of a goat disease traditionally confined to pastoralist areas, which is now spreading into other areas including Central and Eastern province, causing a slump in goat prices, by as much as 75 per cent, and prompting the building of a new vaccination facility.
The disease, scientifically known as Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), or plague of small ruminants, threatened to wipe out large swathes of livestock in North Eastern in 2006-2008, when 5 million animals predominantly goats and sheep were infected with 50 per cent of them dying.
The disease also threatened food security in these areas where the population is predominantly pastoralist and relies on livestock for food and income. Aggressive and concerted efforts between government and organisations such as The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) greatly reduced cases of new infection. But the gains are now being reversed due to pastoralist migrations with the spread being attributed to close contact between infected and the non infected small ruminants.
Areas in Laikipia and even Kieni in central Kenya have now recorded new cases of the disease, whose immediate symptoms include lassitude, fever, discharges from the eyes and nose, sores in the mouth, laboured breathing and diarrhoea. Farmers rearing the goats have already recorded sever business impacts, with the majority of their goats either dying or the farmers being forced to dispose of the goats at cheaper prices since buyers are wary of the disease.
Muthoki Kihekia, who has reared livestock for a decade in Laikipia, says he has always managed to sell his goats for Sh3000 to Sh4000 when they are in good health, but the goats are now selling for as little as Sh1000, a fact he attributes to buyers flight to safety. "No one wants to buy goats, because they hear that the outbreak of the PPR disease has never been fully been addressed. When we sell them due to lack of pasture, it's like we are disposing of them, because they attract a very low price," said Muthoki.
Victor Lomde, another seasoned herder from Turkana District has never recovered from the 2006 plague that claimed 300 of his goats in three months. He, however, made a resolve to have all the remaining livestock vaccinated.
"My veterinary surgeon has taught me a lot. This vaccine works wonders, it's like the vaccine they give children to prevent them from Polio. Once you have it, you are covered. There have been pockets of outbreaks since 2007, but I can comfortably say that I haven't recorded any deaths any more."
The disease, which typically claims the life of the infected ruminant within a month, can easily be contained through frequent disease prevention and control interventions. The PPR vaccine provides protection for about three years for small ruminants.
The spread of the disease, which until recently was considered to be a parochial disease of West Africa, has received international attention, with the FAO recently announcing that its member countries, Kenya included, had passed a resolution shifting the attention of the organisation from rinderpest, an equally notorious and fatal disease among cattle, to the goat disease, after declaring rinderpest eradicated globally.
This followed an announcement in May that the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) at its General Session had passed a resolution to the effect that all countries in the world had been formally accredited as free from rinderpest, which had previously been a huge menace to cattle.
As part of the call by FAO to member states to address the plague in their respective countries, the Kenyan government is working on building a KARI vaccine production centre, which will increase the capacity of producing the PPR vaccine with the hope of improving the flock immunity from currently less than 30 per cent to 70 per cent, and reduce annual losses related to the plague by at least 60 per cent by 2013.

"We soon discovered that the livestock owners knew more than anyone, including government officials, researchers and veterinarians, where outbreaks were occurring. It was their expertise about the sizes of cattle herds, their location, seasonal movement patterns and optimal time for vaccination that made it possible for us to eradicate rinderpest," said Mariner.
Based on their immense expertise about migratory patterns and in recognizing early signs of infection, the herders were able to pinpoint, well before scientists ever could, where some of the final outbreaks were occurring and where conventional surveillance activities like weekly livestock dips had failed to disclose disease.
Harnessing this knowledge of rinderpest through "participatory surveillance" of outbreaks, combined with the animal health workers' delivery of vaccination, proved to be the most successful approach to monitoring and controlling the disease, according to the researchers.
"It effectively removed the disease from some of the hardest to reach areas, and most disease ridden communities," said Mariner.
Adu Ojok, one of the pastoralists involved in the vaccination,attributes the success to having learnt the hard way how to deal with the disease. For the two decades he has practiced pastoralism he has lost over 200 cows, the majority through Rinderpest. "But we struggled with many cures and even the government appeared at times to have been overwhelmed by the constant outbreaks. We were also very disadvantaged since the vaccines that existed then were heat sensitive and before veterinarians could reach all pastoralists the vaccines would have lost potency since the heat here is unbearable," said Ojok.
Years of trying to understand the disease saw them learn prevention measures, for example,when a cow is infected it had to be taken far into the forest, tied and left to die. "The disease is highly contagious and can spread to other livestock in a matter of minutes and wipe the whole herd. In 2010, in my village, we lost about 2000 cows in 3 days. It's that serious," he said.
However, while livestock and those who depend on them for food, transportation and economic stability are now safe from one major calamity, with scientists now certain that the disease is no longer present in Africa, the pastoralists continue to be plagued by a number of other dangerous and debilitating diseases. like goat plague.
But it is now believed that the model of intervention used for rinderpest, of working with the pastoralists, may assist scientists in the road to eradication of other major diseases.
Rinderpest, known as "cattle plague" in English, is thought to have had its origin in the dense cattle herds of Central Eurasia more than two millennia ago and subsequently spread through warfare and trade to cattle in Europe, Asia and eventually Africa. Caused by a virus related to measles, rinderpest could infect cows, water buffalos and other cloven-hoofed animals, leading to a high fever, severe diarrhea, then dehydration and emaciation. The pathogen could kill 90 per cent of a herd, wiping out an entire farm's livestock in just a matter of days.
While rinderpest is not dangerous to human health, its impact on humanity has been significant. Its path of destruction has been linked to many history-changing events such as the fall of the Roman Empire,the French Revolution and famines throughout Africa since the 19th century. Indeed, nearly three-quarters of the rural poor and some one-third of the urban poor depend on livestock for their food,income, traction, manure or other services.
In Africa, livestock provides poor households with up to half their income and between 6 and 35 per cent of their protein consumption. The loss of a single milking animal can affect a family's economic health,as well as depriving it of a primary source of nutrition.

Palette Fight
I'm fighting with my palette this morning or I should say this has been going on for more than a week. Yes it is possible to do battle. My main problem is that I have fallen in love with half of the painting. How could this be when clearly my mentor stressed continually "don't fall in love with any part of your painting". My students have heard that over and over. I did fall in love with half of the painting and thus I'm struggling to make it work. Good advice I received last night..."scrape it all off". Why am I hesitating to do this? The answer is I don't know so I am writing to find out why. For the last several days, I've journaled and still not found my path to the next step. Put the painting away for a while. Though also good advice, I discovered a long time ago just how stubborn I am. So I sit here and ponder and think the best idea is to pull out paper and draw. The battle will be over soon. My second option might be to look at the painting as it stands now on the computer screen and try for objectivity. I have a solo exhibit looming out there.. maybe a reason for turmoil to arise as I delve into questions I must face to continue.

More Blogs
I spent the morning accomplishing computer/blogging tasks...oh my, a new blog. Do I need one? Not sure since I haven't spent what I consider the requisite time required to be current but so what I'm back at it. The rest of the morning I spent time drawing. I've been drawing almost every day now since the WCAGA drawing marathon began in the spring. We'll be continuing the process through out the fall. Have I mentioned that I love to draw? Of course I'm drawing all the time when painting but what I've been doing is just purely for the fun of it. Drawing for myself and being pulled into that creative space that is like no other. It's wondrous.

A Fragile Life
Interesting work going on now. I'm catching up on details, finishing a painting for the Hambidge auction and finishing a three dimensional piece to continue the series "A Fragile Life". When my aunt died at Thanksgiving last year, she left me a number of books. Some were very old, she was 91 years old when she died. I didn't know what to do with them at first. Most titles were not ones that I would read or re-read but I couldn't part with some that friends had given her as a teenager. They were inscribed with the givers names and were important for that reason. Many were books of poetry; she like to write poetry. I realized that her love of poetry spanned a lifetime. So what to do? Not that hard to figure out really, I decided to preserve them with encaustic and the title for the series was born from her last years. I'm learning as I go. Although she had been full of wonderful energy for most of her life, her last years were difficult. Still to the end she stayed engaged in any way possible and I celebrate her.

You bet, count me in. i have a ton of family in South Bend In. when I started watching NASCAR in 2000 he was doing really well, the fact that my Dad went to Purdue back in the 60's, and a small family connection, sold me. i have stuck by since. glad to see he has been doing better this year, Dover notwithstanding.

Porsche Unveils new 911 GT3 Cup for the Gentleman Racer
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
If you're thinking about starting your own career as a "gentleman racer", this is the machine you'll need: the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup. It's one of the most popular race cars of all time, and is the staple machinery used in a whole variety of racing series in American, Europe and abroad. And for 2010, Porsche has released a newly revised version that is expected to debut at the Frankfurt auto show next month.
Based on the recently-released GT3 RS, the new GT3 Cup is treated to the same improvements as the rest of the revised 911 range. But from there it's all business. It packs the same 3.9-liter 450-hp flat-six engine as the street-legal GT3, but offers more downforce courtesy of extra wings and competition-spec suspension, wheels and more. It comes in white so each team can emblazon it with their own sponsors' logos, and sells for a cool 150,000 euros.

Perialas Prize
What is the Perialas Prize?
Each semester the Department of Communication Studies and its honors society (Lambda Pi Eta) sponsor an oratory contest open to students at Ithaca College who are enrolled in either Public Communication or Business & Professional Communication. Each section is invited to select a representative to participate in the contest.
The Perialas Prize was created as a means of fostering the principles of classical persuasive communication, and honoring Constantine Perialas, who taught classical rhetoric in our department for more than 30 years. Each speaker must prepare and deliver a 7-10 minute extemporaneous (from an outline) speech advocating a policy.
During preliminary rounds, faculty judges rate the presentations and invite the top speakers to argue before an audience of students in Public Communication/Business & Professional Communication classes, as well as the department faculty. The winner each semester receives a cash prize provided by the Perialas Prize Fund. All students who participate in the contest receive certificates and are honored during the finals.
The Perialas Committee
The committee chosen to judge the final performances is made up of Communication Studies professors and students already inducted into Lambda Pi Eta. All members of the committee have knowledge of the classical, neoAristotelian standards of effective speech.
The Perialas Fund
The Perialas Prize Fund was established in May 1997. It is being maintained by the Office of Academic Funding. Our aim is to continue raising funds throughout alumni newsletters and fund-raising events.
Recent Winners:
Fall 2010:
Adeesha Ekanayake, Class of 2014, Computer Science Major
Spring 2011:
Emma Knighton, Class of 2014, Applied Psychology Major
Fall 2011:

Zero Tolerance clears, secures Toscana site |
Written by Richard email@example.com | |||
Friday, 23 March 2012 10:02 | |||
Volunteer safety group Zero Tolerance is clearing brush, filling in dangerous holes and securing fencing around the defunct Toscana resort site on Grace Bay in its latest battle in the war on crime. The property next to the Coral Gardens Resort, Somewhere Café and Lounge and the popular public access to the Bight Reef contains several incomplete block buildings and scattered construction debris and has been overgrown with brush for years now. Police fear that thieves have been hiding in the property waiting to rob people who park to snorkel the reef and visit the resort and lounge, which was recently robbed at gunpoint. Somewhere will be hosting a Zero Tolerance fundraiser March 25 from 2-8 p.m. to help police buy two first aid equipped ATV's to patrol Grace Bay on Providenciales to reduce crime and support emergency services. "It gives us much pride to be involved in this committee and specifically this fundraising initiative, which will assist us to ensure safety of our visiting guests," said Somewhere owner Luis Fabara. "Many will know that we were the target of recent crime which could have been prevented. We saw this unfortunate incident as a reason to get involved in this effort, which also included recent efforts to clean up an adjacent abandoned construction site (Toscana on Grace Bay) which had become a potential security risk to our business, residents and guests." Long time resident, business owner and leader of Zero Tolerance Mike Bookalam said a deep ditch filled with water on the site also posed a safety threat to local children who sometimes play on the site of the bankrupt project. The group that was formed in August 2010 has been instrumental in the improvement of resident and tourist safety through a series of initiatives which include:
"The Zero Tolerance Committee has been steadfast in its goal of improving safety for ourselves and tourists for nearly two years," Bookalam said. "It has channeled the energy, financial resources and will of many residents and business owners here in Providenciales toward a common goal of identifying those key initiatives that not only improve safety but raise the awareness of our community and visitors that the Turks and Caicos is a safe place to live, visit and invest." Zero Tolerance Committee members include government police, Dock Direct, Hartling Group, The Sands and Regent Palms, Le Vele, Point Grace, Tropical Shipping/Cargo Express, Provo Electric, Misick & Stanbrook, Gansevoort Resort, Veranda Resort, Ocean Club Resorts, Regent Village, Provo Golf Club, Beaches, Seven Stars Resort, The Pinnacle, Grace Bay Resorts, Conch Shack, Meridian Trust, Comfort Suites, Somewhere Café & Lounge, Casablanca Casino, Royal West Indies, Cove Construction, Crime Stoppers, WIV, FortisTCI, Graceway IGA & Wholesale, Grace Bay Car Rentals, the Turks and Caicos Tourist Board, the Turks and Caicos Hotel and Tourism Association, Twa, Marcelin, Wolf, Upstairs Bar & Grill, Fairways Restaurant, Coco Bistro, AIB, Quality Supermarket and Discount Liquors & The Wine Cellar.

Indian politicians have ability to take every drops of blood from human body till last movement than how they spare any movement, may it be Yuva parliament or old horse trading .
NP Rank:
Live and open debate is the first pre-condition of a healthy democracy, but to organize this in India is tough job. Today in Chandigarh Young under banner of Yuva Parliament have tried to do this at government museum auditorium in Sector 10, Chandigarh.
I entered into hall after many pulls and bulls, as venue was circled by supporters of Congress, BJP and BSP.
The dais was occupied by Congress Party Candidate, Pawan Kumar Bansal, BJP candidate Satya pal Jain, BSP's Harmohan Dhawan and Ajay Goyal, an Independent.
Even the attempt by Chandigarh based young was recommendable but all good work done by them turned futile when youth agenda and options for them was sideline by three candidates belonging to three national parties, as most of them they either tried to show their achievements.
An alone candidate, who really had come to speak on only youth issue with solution driven approach was , an independent , Ajay Goyal, who with his first sentence of his introduction steal the show , when he asked to fix retirement age in Indian politics to provide options for generation next to try their lucks in political arena.
The show started well but after first round, the degeneration begun as questions were asked to full fill the political motives in disguise of audience by political workers of political parities.
The BJP and Congress candidates openly questioned the affiliation of questioners while answering their replies after that show inverted into real political drama in non political forum, where BJP candidate Satya pal Jain who had maximum numbers of his supporters in audiences, which was strictly regulated by organizers.
Only this behavior of them made this noble show at the end political show when BJP's Satyapal Jain waved news papers cutting to down play Congress candidate Pawan Bansal.
Where as BSP candidate Harmohan Dhawan only marked his presence, but all three candidates belonging to national parties just came with their past records without precise future agenda for youth of city beautiful.
Again here Ajay Goyal, an independent also remained at advantage position, who not only addressed youth issue but expressed precise grass root level application agenda for Chandigarh and added many fans fare in youth attending the live open debate.
Why every debate in Indian democracy ends in political drama, when our political leaders will understand the hard work done by progressive citizens like "Yuva Parliament" and behave like our representatives not our masters?
Chandigarh, city beautiful, a first dream taken by Independent India has chance to teach Indian Democracy a sensible lesson But today we have lost the chance.
The good Work started by generation next of Chandigarh should be carry forwarded ,so that hope always remains alive for change in India in general and Chandigarh in specific.

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
Taking a statistics class and want to really UNDERSTAND those tests you are running? Working on a dissertation and unsure what to do with all that data? Need to use SPSS or SAS and don't know how?My name is Karen and I find research fun and make stats simple. I often tutor doctoral students for their research. Some master's students also seek my service to make sure they understand the course they're taking. We always have fun (honest). Social work or psychology students are my most common; of course, I am open to whatever kind of program you are in. I have been tutoring since 1985 when I received my master's degree in biostatistics at the University of Texas School of Public Health. I've been doing this for a long time - I'm still tutoring because I enjoy it. I enjoy explaining statistics in basic language so that people can understand and use it. And I can show you the nitty gritty of how to use SPSS.Contact me for a FREE consultation (once you are a registered student with WyzAnt). It doesn't cost a penny to talk to me and explore how I might be able to assist you.
SAS is one of several software packages I use for statistical analysis. If you know another package, converting to SAS can be a bit challenging. It is like another language in how the logic is presented, so getting some help for learning it can be quite helpful. Once you know it, it's VERY POWERFUL. I love using SAS! I especially love the ability to use their MACRO language to shorten routine algorithms that you are going to do a lot of. This can be VERY HANDY.
I have been doing statistical work for over 25 years, so I am quite solid. I have a master's degree in biostatistics and have been tutoring for many years. Let me know how I can assist you in your project or class.

Wonderful tutor!! Worth every penny. — I am a graduate student with a limited income who needed help with my Probability and Statistics class. Because of this, I initially sought the help of tutors who charged less. What I found was that these people usually either didn't know their subject or didn't know how to teach, in some cases both. They also often lacked those qualities that characterize true professionals. There is truth to the ...

Do you still think he's better than Stanton?

If only we didn't buy into the hype every frikkin year, we wouldn't be so disappointed when they don't live up to inflated expectations.
I'm not gonna lie to you, i don't know what made me more happy today, My Irish beating Mich, or Henne falling apart and me being able to come on here and all the Henne for Presidents, all the Henne is top 5 qb in the country, Henne is our Lord and Savior guys, would have to say, ummmmm maybe hes not that good, sorry, it makes me chuckleOriginally Posted by theMUHMEshow
I wanted U of M to win, but I know what you mean about the Henne deal. I'm kinda glad he had a rough game so people can see that he's not there yet. I still think that when he steps off the field from he last college game, that he'll be a top 3 QB going into the draft. But right now, it's kinda nice that people will get the reality check that he's no better than top 20 or 15 at most. I hope he can pick himself up and dust himself off though. I'm just tired of people looking at a guy as good as Stanton through maize and blue glasses and not just being real about it and admitting Stanton is better.Originally Posted by Blaise
I can't stand these things.
Why do you UM fans buy into the hype every year? UM will always be a New Years Day Bowl team. But playing for a National Title is not something you are entitled to every year. UM is not on par with Miami, USC, LSU.
I'm Scoresman, got a tatoo.
Usc yes, Miami yes, but U of M is better than LSU, c'mon now, they had one good year, mich had the same year in 97, but i don't see lsu every year competeting for a national title, they lose tooOriginally Posted by snydergb
I dont bandwagon. I still love Henne. I dont switch my position after one game, good or bad.Originally Posted by Mike Valenti
I am not taking the loss as bad after IOWA GOT SMOKED and OSU LOST. ND just outplayed Michigan, and UM looked like crap. I dont know why the heck Weis is still coaching in college. He should be in the NFL. His offense looked great.
About "bandwagon choice", your guy, Kevin Grady (which I might add I am very fond of) but can the guy hold on to the ball? There is NO WAY he is ever going to take snaps away from Hart if the kid cannot hold onto the ball. The coaches have no faith in him EX: two straight qb dives at the goal line.
USC, what? Remember how dismal they were not too long ago? Everything goes in cycles. The only teams that have truly been in the hunt every year since the BCS started are FSU and Miami.Originally Posted by Blaise

So the Australian tourist board has come up with more so-called "best jobs in the world". Following on from the success of the job advertised in 2009, in which Ben Southall beat tens of thousands of applicants to become caretaker of the Great Barrier Reef, Tourism Australia has multiplied the positions by six.
Lifestyle Photographer in Melbourne, Outback Adventurer in the Northern Territory, Park Ranger in Queensland and Wildlife Caretaker in South Australia all sound fantastic… although we remain dubious about the role of "Chief Funster" in New South Wales.
That said, on Telegraph Travel we can think of a few more positions that would give those jobs a run for their money for those with wanderlust...
Don't agree with our selection? Or can think of even better roles? Leave a comment below:

"If We Can Not Break Through, We Just Find a Way Around"
"It is time we connected the dots" among labor unions, work, and peace, 2011 Radcliffe Medalist Ela Bhatt told luncheon guests at Radcliffe Day on May 27.
"It is time we connected the dots" among labor unions, work, and peace, 2011 Radcliffe Medalist Ela Bhatt told luncheon guests at Radcliffe Day on May 27.
The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study has named Matthew Smith Miller winner of the 2011 Captain Jonathan Fay Prize for his interdisciplinary work and extensive research for his thesis.
Radcliffe celebration to include medal for Ela Bhatt and panel discussion about moving toward a more equitable and just world. Ela Bhatt, who, as the founder of the Self Employed Women's Association (SEWA) of India, has improved the self-sufficiency of more than a million women.
The Digital Public Library of America Steering Committee announced a Beta Sprint that aims to surface innovations that could play a part in the building of a digital public library. The DPLA initiative grew out of a meeting at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, which brought together more than 40 representatives from foundations, research institutions, cultural organizations, government, and libraries to discuss best approaches to building a national digital library.
Nigerian youths have continued to prove to the world through their brazen talents that youth is not all about violence, fraud and the likes. One of such person who has become a source of inspiration is the award-winning author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, who was recently chosen as a fellow at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University.
Sixteen undergraduate students at the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) may now be Harvard's resident experts on geothermal energy. These students conducted an in-depth analysis of the geothermal heating and cooling system that serves Radcliffe's Byerly Hall.
The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University has selected Cal Poly Ethnic Studies Professor Victor Valle as a 2011-2012 Radcliffe Institute fellow.
In her Fellows' Presentation, Nancy E. Hill, the Suzanne Young Murray Professor at the Radcliffe Institute, attempted to do what she herself acknowledged is almost impossible to dispassionately analyze data about parenting styles.
Just as Harvard College accepted only 6 percent of its applicants this year, so did the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. These fellows are 'poised for a year of discovery, innovation, and creation.'
Fellow Anna Maria Hong says "This has been by far the most productive time in my writing life," who quickly surpassed her original goal of writing 40 sonnets during her academic year. Since the fall she has completed 85 works. "There is something about the magic of Radcliffe, the luxury of this time. And the incredible intellectual and creative stimulation has been really productive."

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 10/04/2012 - 6:30pmEllen McLaughlin's fresh, fast-paced comedy, inspired by the Aristophanes play, follows Lysistrata, an Athenian housewife, who calls for the women of Greece to help end the Peloponnesian War. She proposes a radical plan: all Greek women must refuse to engage in lovemaking until the men see reason, lay down their arms and come home to lay down with their wives in peace. The women agree to make the sacrifice and pandemonium ensues as men wander the country in an agony of unsatisfied lust. Will Lysistrata and her crew accomplish what the politicians could not?
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide Screening
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 10/04/2012 - 6:00pmTo kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Feminist Action League is hosting a screening of the documentary film, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide. Half the Sky is based on the book of the same title written by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
The documentary , as PBS describes, is "filmed in 10 countries, the series follows Nicholas Kristof and celebrity activists America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Eva Mendes, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde on a journey to tell the stories of inspiring, courageous individuals. Across the globe oppression is being confronted, and real meaningful solutions are being fashioned through health care, education, and economic empowerment for women and girls."

HBRS offers many possibilities for German and international medical doctors!
In the following paragraphs different paths and models are shortly described. You are very welcome to contact us in order to discuss individual career plans.
(kruse.susannemh-hannover.de; Tel. 0511-532-6011)
a) During undergraduate study (Dr.med.):
MHH offers the unique StrucMed program to its students. Students pause their medical studies for 9 months in order to work full-time on an experiental research project and receive the Dr.med. degree.
Detailed information is found here.
b) After Staatsexamen
Most important: All research and achievements (publications) in our PhD programs are counting towards a "habilitation" (that is the number of publications. Of course, a publication can only be used once in a cumulative thesis).
We offer the following models to MHH students as well as any German medical doctors from outside Hannover:
1.) First PhD (fulltime 3-4 years):
You join one of our three PhD programs of HBRS after your Staatsexamen, work on an experimental PhD research project and achieve the PhD degree.
Afterwards you decide if you want to stay in research completely or want to combine a clinical training with research.
MHH offers the unique model of "dual career paths" as well as "dual department head concept", so that a career staying purely in research is available for medical doctors.
As to clinical training: Depending on the clinical subject, we have several role models. Rotation models are also available. Part of your PhD time can be accepted for the "Facharztweiterbildung". You are advised to approach us and/or clinical and preclinical/diagnostic department directors at least half a year before you finish your PhD (or if you are already decided: preferably before you start your PhD).
2.) At first parts of clinical training (Facharzt), then PhD:
Quite a few students start with their clinical training after Staatsexamen for 1-3 years. Then they interrupt their training (after e.g. the common trunk, first diagnostic training), then do their PhD for 3-4 years (fulltime) and after that continue their clinical training. The advantage of this model is that even during full-time PhD you are able to do "Dienste" from time to time in order to show your face in the clinics or diagnostic labs, and get some credits for "Facharztweiterbildung".
However, please note that this model depends on the respective department and funding, because it is most feasible if you continue with a full-time position for the PhD part. So, please find out about your career possibilities early. There are a number of clinics/ departments which are open to this model.
3.) New model (concept), Rotation:
You either start with the clinical training or the PhD research work and then within 5-6 years do a combined training.
PhD research should however be at least 2 years full-time in one go.
Please contact us for more information.
Note: Medical students are welcome to attend lectures of the Biomedicine and Biochemistry Master programs in order to gain further knowledge in Basic Sciences.
MD or MBBS students are very welcome to apply to our three PhD programs. We require however at least 6 months of experimental research experience.
You will be awarded a PhD degree after 3-4 years.
You are welcome to continue your career here in research afterwards. If you want to start a clinical career after PhD in Germany, this is not so easy, depending also on the country of origin. We are most happy to give advice though.

The GSR-1000 features a totally unique "three point" gripping system that firmly holds and locks boards in place without scratching, warping or otherwise harming them. This innovative rack converts the "gravitational force" being generated by the weight of the board into "horizontal" pressure, which then firmly locks the board in place. GSR creates the visual effect that the board is being suspended in air!
Whether you have a board collection or a specific one that just rocks…Bordz-Up Gravity Suspension Racks™ (GSR) can vertically suspend and display your board from a secure, flat surface. It's quick and easy to use. Just push the board into the rack and let go…gravity takes it from there! The racks arms automatically fit the width of each board. When ready to roll again, just pull the board free and you're on your way. Installation is fast and easy, requiring just two screws.
SPECS: Holds 1 snowboard or longboard 6.5 to 11.75 inches wide. Size = 21.5"L x expandable x 2.8"D. Weight = 1.9lbs.Color = Silver & Black

Welcome to a Scientific American experiment in "networked journalism," in which readers—you—get to collaborate with the author to give a story its final form.
The article, below, is a particularly apt candidate for such an experiment: it's my feature story on "Science 2.0," which describes how researchers are beginning to harness wikis, blogs and other Web 2.0 technologies as a potentially transformative way of doing science. The draft article appears here, several months in advance of its print publication, and we are inviting you to comment on it. Your inputs will influence the article's content, reporting, perhaps even its point of view.
So consider yourself invited. Please share your thoughts about the promise and peril of Science 2.0.—just post your inputs in the Comment section below. To help get you started, here are some questions to mull over:
- What do you think of the article itself? Are there errors? Oversimplifications? Gaps?
- What do you think of the notion of "Science 2.0?" Will Web 2.0 tools really make science much more productive? Will wikis, blogs and the like be transformative, or will they be just a minor convenience?
- Science 2.0 is one aspect of a broader Open Science movement, which also includes Open-Access scientific publishing and Open Data practices. How do you think this bigger movement will evolve?
- Looking at your own scientific field, how real is the suspicion and mistrust mentioned in the article? How much do you and your colleagues worry about getting "scooped"? Do you have first-hand knowledge of a case in which that has actually happened?
- When young scientists speak out on an open blog or wiki, do they risk hurting their careers?
- Is "open notebook" science always a good idea? Are there certain aspects of a project that researchers should keep quite, at least until the paper is published?
--M. Mitchell Waldrop
The published version of this piece can be found here.
The explosively growing World Wide Web has rapidly transformed retailing, publishing, personal communication and much more. Innovations such as e-commerce, blogging, downloading and open-source software have forced old-line institutions to adopt whole new ways of thinking, working and doing business.
Science could be next. A small but growing number of researchers--and not just the younger ones--have begun to carry out their work via the wide-open blogs, wikis and social networks of Web 2.0. And although their efforts are still too scattered to be called a movement--yet--their experiences to date suggest that this kind of Web-based "Science 2.0" is not only more collegial than the traditional variety, but considerably more productive.
"Science happens not just because of people doing experiments, but because they're discussing those experiments," explains Christopher Surridge, editor of the Web-based journal, Public Library of Science On-Line Edition (PLoS ONE). Critiquing, suggesting, sharing ideas and data--communication is the heart of science, the most powerful tool ever invented for correcting mistakes, building on colleagues' work and creating new knowledge. And not just communication in peer-reviewed papers; as important as those papers are, says Surridge, who publishes a lot of them, "they're effectively just snapshots of what the authors have done and thought at this moment in time. They are not collaborative beyond that, except for rudimentary mechanisms such as citations and letters to the editor."
The technologies of Web 2.0 open up a much richer dialog, says Bill Hooker, a postdoctoral cancer researcher at the Shriners Hospital for Children in Portland, Ore., and the author of a three-part survey of open-science efforts in the group blog, 3 Quarks Daily. "To me, opening up my lab notebook means giving people a window into what I'm doing every day. That's an immense leap forward in clarity. In a paper, I can see what you've done. But I don't know how many things you tried that didn't work. It's those little details that become clear with open notebook, but are obscured by every other communication mechanism we have. It makes science more efficient." That jump in efficiency, in turn, could have huge payoffs for society, in everything from faster drug development to greater national competitiveness.

get information about the President's Making Home Affordable Refinance and Modification Options program?
You can get information about the program at www.makinghomeaffordable.gov. The program is part of the Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan, a federal program to prevent mortgage foreclosures.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will help you determine whether your bank is federally insured and the exact amount of your deposit insurance.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires all consumer reporting agencies that operate nationally to give you a free copy of your credit report annually, when you ask for one. The nation's three largest consumer reporting agencies have set up a website, a toll free telephone number, and a mailing address that you can use to order your free annual report:
