Tirolese Museum of Folk Art
Adjoining the Innsbruck Hofkirche (Court Church) on the east, in the Neues Stift (New Abbey) or Theresianum (16th and 18th C.) can be found the Tirolese Museum of Folk Art. The museum's extensive collections, excellently displayed on three floors, include more than 20 Tirolese rooms, including brick-built houses with oriel windows from the Upper Inn valley and half-timbered houses from the Ziller valley, and a rich store of costumes, peasant furniture and tools from the various regions of Tirol, glass and pottery, cane chairs and textiles and metalwork, There is also a collection of Nativity groups from the 18th C. to the present day. In the cloister on the west side of the building lies the tomb of the Innsbruck sculptor Alexander Colin (d. 1612), by Colin himself.The museum also plays host to numerous temporary exhibitions.
Tirolese Provincial Museum
Worth a visit is the Tirolese Provincial Museum (Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum) in Innsbruck's Museumstrasse, off the Burggraben. It has rich collections on the history and art of Tirol (numerous works from the Gothic period) and a gallery of Dutch and Flemish masters. The originals of the sculptures on the Goldenes Dachl are also displayed here.The museum also has collections from pre- and early historic times.
Tirolese Regional Museum
Further east of Innsbruck's Tirolese Provincial Museum, on the banks of the Sill, stands the old Arsenal (Alte Zeughaus), now occupied by the Tirolese Regional Museum, a museum of cultural and natural history covering a very wide field, including mineralogy, mining, coining, cartography, hunting, technology, etc. There is also a collection of clocks and musical instruments, as well as an exhibition on the story of the Tirolese struggle for liberation in 1809.
Tyrolean Imperial Militia Museum
The museum houses equipment used by the Tyrolean Imperial Militia (Kaiserschützen) in World War I.
Innsbruck Market
Tyrolean Railway Museum
The museum is located at the Stubai Valley Railway Station and includes a collection of historical vehicles.
St John's Church
In the middle of Innsbruck's Innrain, here much widened, stands the striking St John's Church (Johanniskirche), a lively High Baroque building with a twin-towered gabled front; it contains ceiling paintings of 1794.
New University
To the south of Innsbruck's St John's church, near the University Bridge, can be found the University Library (Universitätsbibliothek) and the New University ("Leopold-Franzens-Universität", 1914-23), with various clinics and institutes.
University Botanical Gardens Alpinum
The Botanical Garden was established around 1911 and has more than 5000 species from different plant communities and climates of the world.
Wilten Parish Church
In Innsbruck's southern district of Wilten stands one of the finest Roccoco churches in northern Tirol, the twin-towered parish church (1751-55). The interior is decorated with ceiling frescos by Matthäus Günther and stucco-work by Franz Xaver Feichtmayr; on the high altar is a 14th C. sandstone figure of "Mary under the Four Pillars".
Wilten Basilica
Opposite Innsbruck's Wilten Parish Church is sited the large complex of buildings (remodeled in Baroque style 1670-95) of Stift Wilten, a Premonstratensian abbey founded in 1138. The church (1651-65) has in the porch a large Gothic figure of the giant Haymon, to whom legend attributes a share in the foundation of the monastery. In the pediment above the high altar is the "Throne of Solomon".
South of Innsbruck rises the hill (under which the Brenner railroad and motorway pass in tunnels) known as Bergisel (750m/2,460ft; a 15-minute walk from Wilten). On the hill there are various sports facilities: the Olympia ski-jump (known as the "Bergiselschanze", constructed in 1964 for jumps of up to 104m/340ft), from the top of which there is a splendid view, the Olympia Ice Stadium with sprinting lane and the Olympia artificial ice rink. The hill owes its fame to the heroic battles of 1809, when the Tirolese peasants, led by Andreas Hofer, three times freed their capital from the French and Bavarian occupying forces. On the north side of the hill, below the ski jump, stands a memorial to all the Tirolese who fought for their country's freedom. The central feature of this is the Andreas Hofer Monument (1893); adjoining that is a memorial chapel (1909) and to its rear the Tomb of the Tirolese Kaiserjäger (Imperial Riflemen).
The Tiroler-Kaiserjäger-Museum with many relics and mementos of the struggle for liberation and the history of the Kaiserjäger up to the World War I; from the Hall of Honor, which contains 1954 volumes with the names of all the Tirolese who fell between 1796-1945, there is a splendid view of Innsbruck and the mountains to the north.
Hungerburg and Hafelekar
To the north of Innsbruck, on a terrace (900m/2,950ft; extensive views), is the site of the outlying villa suburb of Hungerburg, which can be reached either by the Hungerburgbahn, a funicular which runs up from the Mühlauer Brücke (at a circular building with the Bergisel Panorama, depicting the battle of 1809), or on the Höttinger Höhenstrasse. From Hungerburg the Nordkettenbahn, a cableway 3.5km/2mi long, ascends via the intermediate station of Seegrube (1,905m/6,250ft) to Hafelekar (2,334m/7,658ft), from which there are superb views.
Ambras Palace
Southeast of Innsbruck, beyond the Inn valley motorway, is the location of Schloss Ambras or Amras, a residence of Archduke Ferdinand from 1563-95. In the Unterschloss (Lower Castle) are two rooms containing arms and armor; on the first floor of the Kornschüttgebäude is a valuable art collection (sculpture, applied art); In the Hochschloss (Upper Castle) can be seen the bathroom of Philippine Welser, Ferdinand's wife; paintings and sculpture are on display on the first and second floors. The splendid Spanish Hall, between the Lower and Upper Castles, is one of the earliest examples of German Renaissance interiors (1507-71); it has a beautiful coffered ceiling and frescos of Tirolese nobles on the walls.The palace is also often used for special exhibitions.
Sellrain Valley
To the west of Innsbruck, at Kematen, is the mouth of the beautiful Sellrain Valley, which attracts many visitors both in summer and for winter sports. From the chief place in the valley, Sellrain (909m/2,982ft), there are a number of attractive walks and climbs - for example, to the west by way of the little Late Gothic mountain church of St Quirin (1,243m/4,078ft) to the Rosskogel (2,649m/8,691ft; five hours, not difficult), or south to the Potsdamer Hütte (2,020m/6,628ft; good skiing), above which, to the west, towers the peak of Sömen (2,797m/9,177ft).
Lüsenstal (Alm Kühtai)
From Gries (1,238m/4,062ft) a road leads southwards into the Lüsenstal. The Sellraintal Road continues westwards from Gries via the Kühtaisattel (2,016m/6,641ft) to Alm Kühtai (1,967m/6,454ft), a health and winter sports resort with cableways and ski lifts. It is the starting point for good climbs and walks, and there are many small mountain lakes in the vicinity.
Mountaineering in Austria
Austria offers immense opportunities for climbing ranges of varying difficulties. Climbers need to be prepared with proper footwear, and getting used to the various weather conditions they may experience.
Mountain Hiking Program
The Alpinschule Innsbruck offers a special summer program for visitors to the town. Anyone staying at least one night in a local hotel is eligible to take part in the Mountain Hiking Program. The program allows participants to hike on over 40 different trails, along with an experienced guide, free of charge. The program also has equipment rental and gives various medals depending on the number of hikes completed. The program is suitable for children over the age of eight, and all adults.A different hike is organized every day, although the "Iantern hike" to Gastof Heilgwasser is offered every Tuesday, after which a rustic Alpine Hut party is held.

So much is fake on this show you don't know WHAT to believe... The show has done both Desta's (Hilary's design assistant) house -- AND the house of one of the contractors. So did they really get their houses done on the show's dime -- Paid to be on the show AND paid in the way of getting their houses done? Talk about double dipping. OR. Didn't they not get their houses done, because those weren't even their houses and producers needed a show so they stepped in. OR were the houses done in LIEU of some salary. It's likely a bit of all of that. Perhaps producers needed shows at the last minute they knew they could get in the can without really taking the time to cast and scout people...so why not use people you know are available, you know are already good on camera, and know the format of the show. What ever happen to the idea of if you work for or with the company you can't benefit from the show? Sort of like if you work for the lottery, you can't play the lottery, or if you work for a radio station, you and immediate family can't enter the contests.This message has been edited.

i saw those shows and they almost ended a working relationship! I don't think they should do those kind of shows on that argument alone. Did see on Income Property, Scott, helped his brother in law with an student income house. Everyone got along great! So I guess that is the exception to the rule. | ||||
If I didn't like Hilary before, I absolutely hated her after watching the way she treated Desta during her reno. Desta didn't like the way the renovation was going so HIlary had all the workers walk off the job to teach her a lesson? I hope for HIlarys sake the show was scripted or else that woman is really quite the piece of work. | ||||

Intel's upcoming Core i7 processors in the LGA2011 package, codenamed "Sandy Bridge-E," will come in a unique package that's completely different from what's being reported as AMD's, in which self-contained liquid CPU coolers will be bundled with some FX-series processors. Intel's upcoming Core i7-3820, Core i7-3930K and the Core i7-3960X Extreme Edition processor boxes will lack Intel's certified (stock) heatsink-fan (HSF). Instead, Intel plans to sell the certified coolers separately, probably having the same market reach and availability as the processors themselves. The idea behind this is that the target users of Sandy Bridge-E will most likely use third-party cooling solutions. Hence it makes sense to save them of a chunk of metal they'll probably never use. For those who do use stock cooling, seldom/never overclock, and rely on the Intel certification to go with the cooler, Intel will have the certified cooler available separately for purchase, with its retail partners. Sandy Bridge-E processors have a rated TDP of 130W, though tests by those having access to engineering samples have shown that it can reach as much as 180W on load, even without overclocking. It is expected that PC cooling products manufacturers will have entire lines of LGA2011-ready coolers in time for the launch of Sandy Bridge-E. Source: VR-Zone
That's what they get for sticking to 32nm on the E chip. I wonder if the 22nm parts will clock better, maybe make up for the decreased cache.
does this mean for once it'll be AMD with the more efficient proccesor? or does it mean these will be really fast?
Highly unlikely. If you look at the old 9xx they were massive power hogs, but absolutely destroyed all competition.
Intel thinks up and scheam to rape there customers every chance they get hmmm... And the price difference for cpu only? is going to be no difference, but for the poor guy that wants the cooler I betcha Intel charge $60 bucks or so for there cheapo cooler :shadedshu
lol isnt this a good thing? Intel heatsinks SUCKED, most people pushed the stock heatsink to the side and put an aftermarket one anyway. So this would therefore bring down the price (by a little bit) for these new CPU's? since there wont be any heatsink?
Ah, but then Intel is going to sell the CPUs at same price with no heatsink. Tbh the Sandy Bridge heatsinks are good, even for light overclocking.
Yea that wouldnt surprise me at all, then charge $50 for a heatsink if you want it? And yes i agree the sandybridge heatsinks seem to be better, or is it that the CPU just runs cooler?
You don't know that, for me, choice is good and this gives me more choice, if I felt however, like you assume that they were charging more for less or the "optional" HSF was at rip off prices (if they were noone would buy them anyways as there will always be a cheaper 3rd party alternative) then I would jump ship fast.
Yes, you do get more choices, but based on past marketing practices, Intel is going to price things with a nice "round number" ending with 9 or 99. This makes me suspicious, especially with the top of the range $999 price bracket. They are not going to reduce to $989 just because they took away the heatsink methinks.
This is an extreme ......execuse me intel extreme edition cpu. Who at this level is concerned about Power consumption or uses stock hsf? U don't buy a lambo and complain about gas milage or the cost of tires.
Now most people who will buy this CPU will be OC this thing like a bitch. So them not shipping a cooler with it IS NOT a big deal. They know most HSF wont even leave the original box. With that being said they will be charging top tier prices for these things. If they didn't offer a cooler I would be ok with this decision. However they will be. So in essence they are charging adopters of this CPU to pay twice which I think is bullshit. I say ship it without a cooler ok. But don't come back and offer a cooler for an extra price. Just leave it to the third party distributors. This is just a greed manuver......which I can respect, I just dont like being on the receiving end.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835203004 It will be a version of that if they are just going to sell the certified cooler separately.
I was just saying in the AMD thread that they need to do this. A lot of folks don't use these damned things anyway. Of course the only way to know if things are discounted is if they offer a package together with the heatsink, but I still like this. It saves on waste both on the manufacturing and shipping end.
I like it. IMO if they wanna save money and waste then don't ship a HSF. But don't sell a HSF separate. Leave it to the third party ONLY. Whats next? Selling a CPU but the pins separate??
Theyv shifted the cost of the cpu pins to the board makers and To get a better mounting system than intel's pushpins...... yeah i'd pay extra
All i know is that I have these: and only have them because there is heatsinks in them. I'll never use a stock cooler...as far as I am concerned, no CPU should come with a cooler, not even entry-level ones, and prices should be lowered accordingly without an included heatsink. I'm all for keeping the metal outta the box, and saving some resources. I'm not even too concerned about paying the same price, with no heatsink, TBH...
and only have them because there is heatsinks in them Nice collection. I eneded up taking the cover off my dead hdd and made post modern wall art with them but havenkt come up with any uses for hsf other than recycling. Pp
I think it's a brilliant idea, worst case scenario we pay the same price as if with the HSF, best case scenario we save some cash to spend on anything else in the new rig, all in all a win-win situation. Saying this with overclockers and enthusiasts in mind

Vest, James M. "Reflections of Ophelia in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo."The Journal of
the Midwest Modern Language Association 1989, 1-9. JSTOR. University of Pennsylvania
Library, Philadelphia. 4 Apr. 2008. <http://www.jstor.org/stable/1315269>.
Focusing on the use of water as a pivotal plot device, James M. Vest attempts to draw a connection between Shakespeare's Hamlet and Hitchcock's Vertigo. He states that in Vertigo "water couples with the idea of the suicide of a beautiful young woman in ways that precisely reflect images of Ophelia" (1). Shakespeare's work is said to have been very influential to Hitchcock, who grew up reading his plays. Vest believes that Vertigo is Hitchcock's attempt at creating a modern Hamlet. After Madeleine falls we see her floating in the water in a posture that draws striking parallels to Ophelia's suicide. Hitchcock insisted on surrounding the dead body with flowers, a depiction seen in John Everett Millais's painting of Ophelia in the stream. The connection is further emphasized throughout the film when Madeleine talks about her previous falls into water. Scottie serves as the "Hamlet-like hero" who develops an unexpected relationship with her. Vest also notes that after Madeleine is fished out of the bay, she speaks incoherently and assumes a "somnambulistic" appearance which rivals that of Ophelia's madness. Other links include the multiple roles each character fills. In Hamlet, Ophelia is the "playful sister," the "dutiful daughter," and the "disenchanted lover, while Kim Novak's character is associated with Madeleine, Judy, and Carlotta. According to Vest, "both stories conclude with an expression of love intimately linked to death." He also notes that both Vertigo and Hamlet follow a main character who not only is mentally unstable, but also appears to see ghosts.
James M. Vest provides us with some very interesting insight onto the inspiration for Hitchcock's story. Hitchcock had always dreamed of directing a film version of Hamlet, and even went so far as to begin production on such a film in 1946. Although the project never came to be, it is clear that his intentions have lived on through Vertigo.

Sorting -- tips for people who are looking for jobs.
We can -- that is on -- -- on Fox Business talked about ways to ease the interview because that.
Does it leisure opportunity committee should be your interview he got to go into prepared so.
Although it sounds like a no brainer the first one is always preparation preparation preparation.
And not just preparing.
To speak to the position itself but you -- know the history of the company.
Their culture -- you fit in with them to do your research you do your homework company but do it probably not just the position itself also look for press releases and anything that the has been talked about them -- trade magazines -- supposedly news that's going on with that pregnancy might seem like here.
A follower of hello -- and very just -- -- -- senior engage and and you feel like you're one of them and also preparation gives you confidence to Iowa -- -- you have that confidence going in and you Feely give a wide breadth of knowledge yes you feel about her.
OK another tip we have for acing the interview is speaking our language but -- that.
This is particularly important if you're transitioning to a new industry or company that's unfamiliar to you -- because you want to make should be fitted so the challenges.
Every industry in almost every business has their own lingo -- -- -- their own jargon.
Their own abbreviations acronyms he got to make sure you understand what those are -- go in kind of fumbling only bring something up you know what it means -- what you're saying.
So understand the language of that Anderson Anderson they're jargon -- -- it -- -- you're not asking what it is in the interview right.
That's a very good point especially in certain industries where it's all jargon and maybe the people in union you don't realize that they think their own language right yet and you don't want them to have to think oh my god and have to teach you all -- -- don't know the even the basics of what did you -- and we -- but a little bit lines up artists with more qualified than you really are right.
I -- show differentiation.
Well that legendary marketing guru roadster -- used to call it the unique selling proposition or the USP.
I think this really applies to individuals when you're going out there on the market let's face it.
There are a lot of people in line behind you and in front of you for jobs right now.
See you gotta make sure you find a way to step out -- show how you're different.
On that and now that's an individual thing so I can't -- on there's one way to do it it's not like dressing fancier looking funny here generic.
-- -- resonated huge purple box or something like apple what you need to do is.
Show them that you have something unique that's different than the other people in line from -- for example.
For me as a console -- spent a lot time in the management consulting industry.
Most of those folks are NBA is your business backgrounds untrained psychologist.
So my -- there was I understand the psychology of how people manage and lead.
And interact with each other that was always -- key differentiator for me that made -- stand out so find out what that is for you.
OK yes good point something -- online at.
OK and day.
Know your talking points yes -- can explain.
Well as you note -- you interview politicians all the time right and they come on ready with their talking points of the public drives a little bit crazy.
But the -- is this is have a set of three to five.
Very specific examples of past experiences and anecdotes where you've been able to.
Get results -- and the rating share -- those -- bragging rights that are understandable related bonds Pacific but they need to be so also adaptable so no matter what kind of question you with 'cause let's face he get it with off the -- questions on and the weird stuff.
You wanna build -- pull that particular talking point -- -- the year ago or you know what that question most closely relates talking point -- -- -- -- -- out.
And -- and the size that into the question and make an answer politicians do all the time the ones that are really good do it almost seamless.
Yes so it's almost like I don't really know or have the best answer to what you just asked me but I continues all these facts that I have right and make that your answer -- and decided in because and make sure something that showcases talented viewers that you wanna get across right because is all about you getting across your value how do you answer my -- Question ever -- needs to yourself in five years I hate that question any so silly hadn't.
If your entry -- I want the entry level in five years from now I have I have little doesn't matter here.
But then they're hiring you for that job that -- -- train you for no reason to they want to think that you'll stay and that recognition right.
And -- here's the thing.
The vast majority of individuals out there conducting interviews are not trained on how to conduct an interview I'm not -- professional -- like yourself.
They really don't know what they're doing in in essence they know and an ice have to train people and conducting interviews -- an HR hiring managers.
And so you have to kind of expect the unexpected that's what you have to be prepared so again when someone -- to that question.
Know the company know what they're looking for and know what their pain points -- you know what I wanna be contributing to the mission -- make sure that I've advance in the company because.
Most of hiring managers do want someone that wants to move forward you know and they want someone will take more off their -- as they go -- -- -- -- -- -- GUS team like up -- nose like oh yes I do orange you wanna show some reservations -- certain things have.
-- -- saying I don't you don't want to be -- brown desert that's for sure because people don't like that either I think what you wanna make sure you do.
-- you understand what they need in this is why go to that point of feeling their pain.
What do they need.
And what is it that you can do to deliver on that need.
Every hiring manager wants someone to make their life easier.
We're not hard that's the point your fifth point feel their -- yes find out ways where you can say I can be beneficial to you because I can you -- -- NC NBA don't be afraid to ask what are your big challenges yes what is it that you fear most what is it that's causing you the most pay what's ailing U.

A very drinkable, fruity ale with orange citrus highlights. Ingredients are subtle to the point of questioning why this is a specialty other than it doesn't fit into other categories. more >
Aroma: Light, fruity orange aroma with solid malt underpinning of Pils malt and bready wheat. No DMS. No diacetyl. No hop aroma. Alcohol not particularly evident. Not all the stated ingredients are individually recognizable but very nice, pleasant, well-balanced aroma.(10/12)
Appearance: Gold color. Some chill haze but OK for an ale. Thin, dense, white head with fair retention. (3/3)
Flavor: Malt-focused with hints of Pils malt and wheat. Low hop bitterness. No hop flavor. Orange is slight and may be as much the coriander as the sweet orange peel. Honey has fermented out—no honey character remains in the flavor. Chamomile is quite subtle. Some alcohol is noticeable. Dry finish. Well-balanced. Very low phenols—not much at all from the orange peel or chamomile. (17/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied. Some alcohol warming. Smooth but not creamy. Well carbonated, light, fizzy mouthfeel. (5/5)
Overall Impression: A very drinkable, fruity ale with orange citrus highlights. Light, refreshing. Ingredients are subtle to the point of questioning why this is a specialty other than it doesn't fit into other categories. Honey is adding to alcohol and lightening the body but not much to aroma/flavor. I like the malt focus without the emphasis on hops that would mask the subtle ingredients. I'd have this with brunch rather than the traditional mimosa; a good breakfast wake-me-up beer—true breakfast of champions. (8/10)
Expression of wildflower honey provides a clean, bare stage for the ballet of chamomile, coriander and orange. more >
Aroma: Moderate wildflower honey note with orange fruit following. Hint of spicy coriander. Floral herbal chamomile lingers in the background. Bready, yeasty note emerges as the beer breathes a bit. Not overt hop aroma; very clean. (7/12)
Appearance: Very pale gold, nearly straw with a hint of orange. Very clear, but not bright. Dense, biscuit-like off-white head forms to three-quarter inch; persists to the end to the glass. (3/3)
Flavor: Light, crisp clean malt and floral honey sweetness are accentuated with subdued herbal floral spice of corianders and chamomile, with more of the chamomile than coriander. No hop flavor, and bitterness seems to come more from the spice presentation than hop. Overall bouquet of flavors is balanced with a hint or acidity of orange zest, pith and peel. Honey flavor is lightly refreshing. Some moderate bitterness toward the end lingers into the finish. Well balanced among all components. (18/20)
Mouthfeel: Light body with moderate carbonation. No alcohol warming; not creamy, but rather light on the tongue with a lingering, though subdued bitterness. No astringency. Very crisp finish. (5/5)
Overall Impression: Expression of wildflower honey provides a clean, bare stage for the ballet of chamomile, coriander and orange. The orange presentation, when mixed with chamomile, comes across more like fresh, ripe fruit than spicy, pithy or bitter. Hint of acidity provides balance. The texture and light body are almost a "wit light," but the overall impression is of a crisp, light, very refreshing combination, at once intriguingly complex, but light. Would be lovely for a picnic lunch on a warm summer day, with ham sandwiches, farmer's cheese, and Bartlett pears. (7/10)
his is a nice summery beer, as advertised, and has enough flavor to make it an interesting session beer on a warm afternoon. more >
Aroma: Initial aroma has bready malt with some wheat and a light graininess. I pick up faint honey notes, with some floral notes from the chamomile. The citrus character is light. The aroma has a nice balance but stronger orange notes would add to the complexity. (8/12)
Appearance: Good heat retention and conditioning. Light apricot/orange in color, consistent with the malt base. The initial pour was clear, but the haze increases toward the bottom of the bottle. (3/3)
Flavor: There is a good wheat presence, with bread and caramel notes providing a backbone. It finished softly with low hop bitterness. The middle of the flavor profile has some complexity, with orange and citrus blending with earthy and floral notes from the chamomile. I pick up a slight tartness in the finish that is typical in wheat beers such as this. (16/20)
Mouthfeel: There is a sustained body from the wheat and oats, but the beer is not heavy on the palate. I get a touch of astringency in the finish from the spices, but it is not overpowering. Good effervescence. (4/5)
Overall Impression: This is a nice summery beer, as advertised, and has enough flavor to make it an interesting session beer on a warm afternoon. The base beer is broadly in the American wheat style, with the orange and spices balancing nicely with the grains. The orange character was a little lighter than I expected in the aroma, but it was better balanced in the flavor. The chamomile adds a bit of individuality that is fun for the taster to explore. (8/10)
A very mild beer with a fairly full body and prominent but balanced spicing. Quite witbier-like (except for body) using American yeast. more >
Aroma: Very floral. Chamomile and coriander dominate. Honey, esters and wheat follow. Classic witbier aromatics, but more intense than most wits. Wheat and grain aroma underneath. Esters and honey/malt sweetness round out the presentation. The overall aroma is fairly strong. Malt is clean and neutral, somewhat malty-sweet in character—honey enhances. Very light hops underneath.(10/12)
Appearance: Hazy. Moderate-sized white head. Medium yellow color. (2/3)
Flavor: Clean palate. Sweet honey and malt backbone that showcases the spices. The coriander, orange peel and chamomile are all apparent and balanced with each other. They are prominent but not overwhelming. Light hop flavor and very low (threshold) bitterness. Honey and oats give it a very rounded flavor and mute the wheat sharpness. (17/20)
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body. Creamy (oats?). Moderate to moderately high carbonation. Not astringent or warming. (4/5)
Overall Impression: A very mild beer with a fairly full body and prominent but balanced spicing. Quite witbier-like (except for body) using American yeast. Not as refreshing as Belgian wits but judged as a specialty beer, it isn't bad. Honey adds a nice flavor, but less body would improve the drinkability. Low bitterness is essential for showcasing the spices. The wheat character is low for an American wheat. (8/10)

New alternate helmets displayed at Nevada, Texas Tech and Fresno State
A handful of new uniforms and alternate helmets have hit the Internet in the past couple of days, which to a uni-obsessed fan like me is like manna and a tub of ice water in the middle of the Sahara.
However, we must remember what time of year it is. With National Signing Day just eight days out, the looks shown below could easily just be prototypes used to wow visiting recruits. Just because a new helmet shows up in the equipment room doesn't mean we'll see it on the field this fall.
With that said, let's take a look.
Nevada has gone with a blue helmet and silver wolf for a decade, but we could be seeing a gray and white alternate on the way.
Texas Tech has rolled largely with a red "Double T" on a solid black helmet since 1993. Could we be seeing a white and/or striped alternate with new head coach Kliff Kingsbury?
Fresno State has donned red lids for the better part of the program's history. This white alternate leaked online in the past week.
Meanwhile, a small tweak has leaked at Florida. The Gators have longed employed a relatively small number font, but their numbers could be getting significantly larger in 2013.
Western Michigan is officially getting new helmets, which we posted on Friday. And, once again, none of the above alternates were officially released by the university and, as such, it's far from guaranteed that we'll ever see these on the field. But that doesn't mean we can't take a peek.

Nelson Mandela: A life in pictures
Nelson Mandela and his wife Winnie in this undated file picture.
Topics: 2008 Elections, Barack Obama, War Room, Politics News
A California Republican group's latest newsletter shows Barack Obama on a $10 food stamp. The picture shows Obama eating fried chicken, watermelon and ribs, an image that harks back to old derogatory stereotypes about African-Americans.
Diane Fedele, the president of the responsible organization, Chaffey Community Republican Women, Federated, says the image was distributed without any racist intent. "I never connected," she told a local newspaper. "It was just food to me. It didn't mean anything else."
The press secretary for the state Republican Party has denounced the use of the image, the Associated Press reports, and has also pointed out that the group is a volunteer organization not directly responsible to the party.
Fedele has apologized "to anyone who was offended."
Update: Thanks to readers who pointed out a link to the image itself — which can be viewed here — and that Obama is shown on a food stamp, not on a $10 bill.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Diana Moutsopoulos
"Inspiration for this recipe came from my roomie. This is a forgiving recipe and a great way to get your greens! I eat it as a main dish, but this could easily be fit for four to six sides. Feel free to substitute different kinds of greens depending on what's in season, and use regular diced bacon instead of pancetta if desired."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 slices pancetta or bacon, chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bunch kale, roughly chopped
1 bunch beet greens, roughly chopped
salt to taste
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
This is a great and easy way to use up the greens from your fresh beets. I did make a couple of changes: 1. I rendered the bacon in a pan and used some of the leftiver fat to cook the onions in. 2. At the end, I added a splash of balsamic vinegar, which really seemed to brighten up all the flavors. 3. I served with a sprinkling of freshly grated parm over each bowl.
I agree with the last entry--too dry and greens didn't wilt enough. Definitely would add chicken broth to make it better, as it is pretty bland. I also used pancetta and i think next time I'd use bacon for more flavor.

Wonderful success with my older parents. I am the designated greens cooker (usually collards) for family dinners. I thought I would try this "greens and beans" recipe as a change. It was a major success. They not only wanted the recipe but took home the little that was left in "people bags". Easy and delicious. And "greens and beans" was a catchy name they liked too. I briefly cooked the onions in the olive oil. A dash of your favorite hot pepper vinegar will brighten up the greens but I elected to just put the bottle on the table and let each adjust for their taste.
Awesome! My husband INHALED this! He said it reminded him of his grandma's cooking (she's very southern and used to make him collard greens, white beans and ham). I couldn't find beet greens, so I used 2 bunches of kale. I also used 5 slices of pancetta since I can only find the paper-thin stuff. I also added some fresh ground pepper. Excellent for a light and healthy dinner. Thanks very much!
I've been eating greens prepared this way (without the wine) all my life and make it often myself - this is the standard way of cooking vegetables in Italian households. My favorite is with Swiss Chard - you must cook it quite awhile so it becomes tender and mild. Beet greens are a close second! Ceci beans (garbanzo beans) may be used instead of cannellini beans and it's just as good without beans too. I love this stuff so much I could make a meal of it on its own.
Yum! We call this 'beans & greens'. Used spinach and kale. Doubled the greens and doubled the bacon. Prepped the greens and onion earlier in the day, making dinner a snap! Pan fried the bacon till crisp and then used the drippings to sauté onion and greens. Served with country sausage (didn't need too) - Family was really surprised that they liked it! Will make again and again! Thanks for sharing.
This was great - I am always looking for something to add greens to.
I've made this with kale and collards. For collards, I took others' advice and added a little liquid to steam the collards until they were tender. I also used chopotle pepper and hot sauce to spice it up a little. I've substituted smoked sausage for bacon. I chopped the sausage into bite sized pieces and cooked it in the olive oil with the onion. Less smoky flavor with the sausage, but good still.

Ore shipping will be heavy this year
The Pittsburgh Steamship Company has ordered engineers of the water tube boiler boats to report on board their ships on Mar. 3, to begin fitting out. Engineers of first and second class boats having Scotch boilers will report Mar. 10 and 15, respectively. These orders of the Pittsburgh Steamship Company furnish the first indications of the near approach of the navigation season of 1913, which is expected to be the busiest in the history of the lake.
What do they know?
The ice has cleared out of the local harbor and as far as the eye can see across the lake toward the Wisconsin shore, there is open water. Not much in that statement from a Duluth "authority" some weeks ago to the effect that the snow on the ice would make the opening of the lake very late this spring.
California take notice
Two Harborites return from Los Angeles Feb. 26, reporting 19 days of rain, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes, to find their neighbors who stayed in a decent climate for the winter, pushing their baby carriages down the street. They found their lawns bare except where the snow plows had pushed the snow up onto the parkways. After a week of balmy weather, Mar. 1 came in, not like a lion or a lamb, but like a sweet cherub.
Big class is given a promotion
The goal visioned by everyman entering the service of the railroad was achieved last week. Thirteen firemen on the Iron Range division of the Duluth, Missabe & Iron Range were certified for promotion to the position of engineer.
The class included: A. R. Johnson, Peter Bislaw, Edw. Larson, Herman Anderson, Nels Holbeck, Frank Hickey, Martin Olson, Matt Archdeacon, Carl Shogren, John Strom, Arthur Cyr, Alfred Carlson of Two Harbors, and Emil Nelson of Biwabik.
New industry possibility in city
A locally owned manufacturing firm utilizing railroad facilities here loomed as a possibility today following meetings by DM&IR offices, representatives of an equipment manufacturer and local promoters. Rumors were rampant after a large group of visitors arrived in the city and began inspecting the car shop in the railroad yards. Nothing definite has come out of the meeting to date, but the city remains hopeful.
New dial changes
Northwestern Bell Telephone moves forward in the change of the remaining two-letter, five-number telephone numbers around the area including Silver Bay, Beaver Bay and Finland. What used to be BA 6 prefix, will now be a 226 plus number telephone number. The change is necessary to meet telephone growth here and throughout the nation, ultimately improving services such as pushbutton dialing, smaller instruments, direct distance dialing and even international dialing.
Highway sign says
"Thirty days hath September, April, June and November…… and anyone who exceeds our speed limit!"
Two Harbors rink wins national curling crown
They weren't the oldest curlers at the National Senior Curling Championships, but they were the best. Held in Detroit, the Earl Meyer rink in Two Harbors took the championship in the 55-and older competition. Winning all six games in the four day event were Louis Bangsund, Wayne Dahl and Rudy Pluth.
Two new bells added
Holy Spirit Catholic Church will have two new bells along with the original dated 1891. The original bell, weighing 1,600 pounds, has been cleaned up and the names of the 25 donors inscribed on it are clearly visible. The two new bells, cast in Holland, weigh 820 and 520 pounds and are inscribed with "In memory of John Dwan" and "In memory of Mrs. John Dwan".

Welcome to Bratislava!
Bratislava is a beautiful city full of culture that is gradually being discovered by visitors from all over the world. In addition to many beauties and places of interest, the Slovak capital has a reputation of the city of music, offering its visitors and citizens rich and colourful music events throughout the year. It is very well situated only 60 km from Vienna and 150 km from Budapest.
We invite you to the Slovak capital to live a wonderful music experience too with your choir, orchestra or folklore group. Discover the city of music and have a good time!
1. Primatial /Archbishop/ Palace
The monumental Renaissance palace rebuilt in Classicist style used to be the seat of Cardinal Jozef Batthyányi. The palace´s function is symbolized by a black cardinal´s hat that can be seen on the top of the roof.
In the past the palace witnessed many crucial moments of the country´s history, e.g. signing of the Peace of Bratislava after Napoleon´s victory at the Battle of Austerlitz.
Today it houses a collection of royal paintings and precious tapestries with ancient Greek motives that were discovered by chance during the palace reconstruction.
2. Hviezdoslav Square
The city´s beautiful promenade with plane trees, fountains and cafes is a favourite going-out place for both home dwellers and visitors.
The square´s is full of music because there are the two impressive buildings of the old Opera House and Slovak Philharmony, and an open-air music stage for popular, folk and jazz music performances.
The square is named after one of the most important Slovak poets Pavol Ország Hviezdoslav whose monumental statue dominates the square.
3. St. Martin´s Cathedral
This Gothic cathedral from the 14th century served as coronation place of Hungarian kings from 1563 to 1830, which is commemorated by a huge gold-plated replica of the St. Stephen Crown situated on the top of the cathedral´s steeple. It is Slovakia´s 2nd largest cathedral and one of the most important Bratislava highlights. With its new organ it regularly hosts top world musicians on organ and sacred music concerts.
4. Bratislava Castle
The Slovak capital is dominated by its castle situated on a green hill overlooking the Danube river. The first human settlement of the area dates back to the times of Celts. The castle was the seat of Hungarian kings, but the archaeological research shows that the castle had had a crucial historical role already in the period of the Great Moravian Empire in the 9th century. Today the castle is undergoing a big reconstruction and it has recently acquired its original baroque white walls.
5. Jesuit Church
The church was built in 1638 and is one of the biggest Bratislava churches. Its simple exterior decoration contrasts to the beautifully ornated interior. The side naves are adorned with baroque altars from the 18th century. The main altar with monumental pillars comes from the 19th century. One of the church´s highlights is a unique Rococo pulpit from 1753 made of unusual combination of wood, lead and gold. The church has a very good accoustics and is often a venue of classic and sacred music concerts.
6. Main square
The history of the square dates back to the early Medieval period when it served as the old Bratislava´s happening place - there used to be a market and the place of citizens´ meetings and trials.
The Old Town Hall with Gothic interiors and baroque steeple today houses the city museum and often hosts concerts of classic, jazz of folk music in the courtyard.
The square´s main highlight is the fountain with the statue of the famous knight Roland who, as the legends say, used to dwell in Bratislava for a long time.
7. Franciscan church
The oldest gothic sacred construction preserved in Bratislava hides one of the most precious gothic sight in Slovakia – the Chapel of St. John the Evangelist. The church used to serve for ceremonies and gatherings of Hungarian magnates and knight. The gothic steeple of the church was damaged by an earthquake in 1897 and it was replaced in the Janko Kráľ Park on the right bank of Danube River.
8. Klarisky Concert Hall
Formerly a church, this impressive Gothic construction with very good accoustics now serves as concert hall for various classic and sacred music performances. Its ancient Medieval walls breathe with old knight legends that are annually revived by actors during Bratislava Cultural Summer. The preserved interior decoration help increase the majesty of this place. Klarisky hall often also hosts displays of photographies or modern paintings and other events.
9. Devín Castle
On Bratislava outskirts, situated on a high castle rock, you will find impressive ancient ruins overlooking the confluence of Morava and Danube rivers that frame the Austrian-Slovak border. The castle exhibition preserves Bratislava´s oldest history and earliest settlement dating back to the times of Celts and old Slavs.
10. Moyzes Concert Hall
The impressive building on Danube river bank with four towers on the corners and a dome vault in the middle was built in 1911-1912 as a representative army headquarters. Today it is the seat of the Faculty of Philosophy of the Commenius University and it houses also a remarkable concert and dance hall, known as Moyzes Concert Hall, decorated in the style of Vienna Secession. Designed by Vienna architect Josef Rittner, the representative hall nowadays serves to various cultural and academic purposes.

Prayers for Uncle Dan
From Rachel Sinn
People always say, "It's funny the things you remember." Growing up on a farm for the first seven years of my life was mostly uneventful and, except for the occasional "adventure" with my sister Mandy Stormer of Greenfield, there wasn't a whole lot to do. A typical adventure usually consisted of walking around the pasture, exploring the nearby pond and chasing our dog Lucy. However, there are a few adventures in particular that always stick out in my mind. My grandma, Janice Fain of Afton, has a talent for using old expressions so as a result of this knowledge, Mandy and I now use words like "catty-wompus" and "Johnny on the spot" in the average conversation.

With in-car radios quickly being replaced by Spotify, car manuals being PDF'd onto iPads and QR codes in magazines taking you straight to the mobile site for the manufacturer, it's apparent that the digital transformation of the auto industry is taking place right now.
Ford, Chevrolet, Volkswagen, and Toyota are all selling amazingly globally, but one of them isn't performing as well in its digital marketing efforts.
In contrast, Smart, Suzuki, Fiat, and Daihatsu are floundering in terms of sales, but one is doing far better online than in the stores.

I spent a number of years as a social media manager - first for PayPal, then giffgaff and, most recently, I was the corporate community manager for the BBC. I feel a strong affinity to those behind the brand handle after being through the wars myself. It's not uncommon to spend sleepless nights at a keyboard, or take a night bus home so you can stay above ground to tweet during an issue ,or be attached to your phone on your only vacation in months. This is the current state of our community directors and their staff.
It was great to see Ogilvy feature three social community managers on their recent panel, The Rise of the New Community Manager, as part of Social Media Week. The panelists included Karen Untereker, U.S. Manager, Social Media at Ford Motor Company, Ariel Norwood, Online and Social Media Team Leader, Northeast Region, Whole Foods Market and Vanessa Wojtusiak, Head of Social Marketing, iHeartRadio and was moderated by Rachel Caggiano, Senior Vice President, Social@Ogilvy.

Social Media Week in New York started big with Ford's announcement this morning with a new Ford Fiesta ad campaign that will use content created only by users - in fact, it'll be their first ever user generated campaign that spans the entire advertising year.
Ford are focusing on creating a team of 100 social influencers who will create the advertising material that Ford will distribute through a mix of paid media, social media and experiential events. These will be the new Ford Fiesta Agents - I'm just glad they didn't opt for Guru or Ninja. Phew.
So the content the agents create can be in whatever form they choose to do. Ford gives them cars, a camera and in addition to this open remit of any content goes, the group will also have to complete challenges with properties such as American Idol, the X Games and music festival, Bonnaroo.

As the newest Fortune 500 list came out this morning, we've pulled two of the top 10 to be today's competitors in our Twitter showdown: General Motors (ranking 5th on the list) and Ford (who came in 9th).
Everyone knows how passionate people are about their cars but will their standings on the Fortune 500 reflect how they are doing in the social space? Let's find out.

Apple's products contrast sharply with the mid-century General Motors cars that brought the jet-age into people's garages.
And yet, beginning in the 1920s, GM was able to snatch market dominance away from Ford by better catering to people's fantasies – much in the same way that Apple has been able to poach market share from Microsoft and others.
2012 isn't 1952, and cars and computers are not the same, but being able to sense and articulate a vision is still the job of marketers. What's our vision for our own future, today? And why do so many people want to use their minimalist iPhones to take altered pictures of their friends?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Regent (disambiguation).
A regent, from the Roman regens "one who reigns", is the informal or sometimes formal title given to a temporary, acting head of state in a monarchy. If the regent is holding this temporary position due to his or her position in the line of succession and thus is a member of the royal house, the term used is often prince regent or princess regent. The time in office for a regent is often called a regency, a term also used for the constitutional rules providing for the temporary upholding of the position.
For regents in different countries, see List of regents.

Twenty eight University of Newcastle staff have been recognised for their excellence as educators, being awarded a Australian College of Educators (ACE) Teacher Recognition Award.
Nominated by their students as providing inspiration, support and encouraging a love of learning, each winner has made a lasting impression in their field of expertise.
More than 260 nominations were submitted for the awards with University of Newcastle staff securing 28 of the 65 successful applications from across the Hunter region.
University of Newcastle Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Global Relations) Professor Kevin McConkey said the nature of the awards made them a great honour for the winners.
"The emphasis on students' feedback makes the ACE Teacher Recognition Awards different from many others that require self-nomination or recommendations from colleagues," Professor McConkey said.
"To be considered for the award, each teacher must be supported by at least three students who can demonstrate why the person nominated provides support 'above and beyond' that which is generally expected of them.
"That our teachers were so successful in achieving this recognition is testament to the passion they have for education and their commitment to providing students the best environment in which to learn."
The ACE Teacher Recognition Awards (Hunter) will be formally presented at a ceremony at 6pm Tuesday 3 November at Newcastle City Hall.
A list of University of Newcastle winners follows:
Faculty of Business and Law

Microsoft has released an updated version of DirectX for June, although it isn't clear whether the update is just for DirectX 9.0c or for DirectX 10 on Vista as well. Regardless of this, it is still recommended that Vista users update their systems because Vista will benefit from any DirectX 9.0c fixes when playing DirectX 9 games. The web installer is only for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions), whilst the redistributable version will also work with Vista. The download links are listed below: Web installer for Windows 2000, XP and 2003: download [44KB - 41.4MB] Redistributable installer for Windows 2000, XP, 2003 and Vista: download [53.6MB]
lol they probs just thought "oh shit, now i remember what we left out, Do'h! " after finding a loose piece of paper with some notes on under the desk
The funny thing is people complain about the time MS takes to patch things, however when they make patches people still complain.
Yeah but this is directX... and its almost monthly releases. In past years, DX was updated... well it was always a major update - 8.1->9.0 9.0 to 9.0C and such. We have DX10, yet the updates are all for DX9.0C? Why is it still 9.0C if theres twenty damned versions of it?
little improvements made here and there. As the code begins to get refined, they see that they can still do this and that and add this and make it look like that and what not. They learned alot working on DX10, so of course, they want to apply some of those principles to DirectX9.0c. There is nothing wrong with updates and patches. I for one wouldnt be complaining about monthly updates from MS. Hell, anything to make my computer better and OS better while also improving gaming isnt a hamper on my day ::wink:: I believe they still will update DX9c for some time as there will be games made that still use that code. Eventually (not sure how long it will take) but most games will go to DX10 only.
I reckon DX9 will be like AGP. It will be around for a while...wont totally die out, but will get there.
the way current DX10 games are, DX9 path will be a neccesity, no arguing that. Its just annoying to have contsant releases under the *same name* (9.0c) why cant they call it D or E or F?
i personally dont understand why they didnt call it 9.1 when shader model 3 was introduced, after all, thats what they done with dx8
Installed fine on my 3 systems, XP, Vista x86 and vista x64. None of the systems even asked for a restart. Edit: AHAH! i know whats been niggling at me - WHY THE HELL WASNT THIS ON WINDOWS UPDATE. No really - isnt DirectX big enough for windowsupdate? its never on there!
The web update version is just an update, but the redist version is the whole package - sort of like patches for some games, you can either upgrade from one version to the next or chose the huge download which contains everything.
I would love it if it could turn my nForce3 chipset into something else! Anything! As long as it can run Vista.
There are drivers for NF3 to run on vista. Aint got links, but i recall reading it on a lot of forums - Nvidia didnt have direct driver packages, but they used a mix of NF3 and NF4 drivers to make it work (32 bit only, i beleive)

Head transplant
A head transplant is a surgical operation. It involves the grafting of one organism's head onto the body of another. It should not be confused with another, hypothetical, surgical operation, the brain transplant. Head transplantation involves decapitating the patient. Although it has been successfully performed using dogs, monkeys and rats, no human is known to have undergone the procedure.[1]
Since the technology required to reattach a severed spinal cord has not yet been developed, the subject of a head transplant would become quadriplegic unless proper therapies were developed. This technique has been proposed as possibly useful for people who are already quadriplegics and who are also suffering from widespread organ failures which would otherwise require many different and difficult transplant surgeries. Quadriplegia may be an acceptable option for the terminally ill. There is no uniform consensus on the ethics of such a procedure.[2]
In 1959, China announced that it had succeeded in transplanting the head of one dog to the body of another twice.[3]
On March 14, 1970,[4] a group of scientists from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine in Cleveland, Ohio,[5] led by Robert J. White, a neurosurgeon and a professor of neurological surgery who was inspired by the work of Vladimir Demikhov, performed a highly controversial operation to transplant the head of one monkey onto another's body. The procedure was a success to some extent, with the animal being able to smell, taste, hear, and see the world around it. The operation involved cauterizing arteries and veins carefully while the head was being severed to prevent hypovolemia. Because the nerves were left entirely intact, connecting the brain to a blood supply kept it chemically alive. The animal survived for some time after the operation, even at times attempting to bite some of the staff.[6]
Other head transplants were also conducted recently in Japan in rats. Unlike the head transplants performed by Dr. White, however, these head transplants involved grafting one rat's head onto the body of another rat that kept its head. Thus, the rat ended up with two heads.[7] The scientists said that the key to successful head transplants was to use low temperatures.[8]
A human head transplant would most likely require cooling of the brain to the point where all neural activity stops. This is to prevent neurons from dying while the brain is being transplanted. Ethical considerations have thus far prevented any reported attempt by surgeons to transplant a human being's head.
Future and stem cells[edit]
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2008) |
Through medical science, it is now known that stem cells are capable of specializing into any type of cell found in the human body. In 1998, Fred H. Gage of the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, showed that new, functioning neurons are indeed capable of being grown in the adult human hippocampus. This was previously thought to be impossible. The news gives some hope to individuals suffering disabling diseases. Most believe the key to helping individuals whose bodies are incapable of sustaining them is not through arguably crude operations like a head transplant, but through techniques developed through stem cell research. However, the concept of head transplantation may become more popular, as stem cells have been shown by the Wistar Institute of the University of Pennsylvania to repair the severed spinal cords of mice to a functional level. This could mean the subject would no longer be restricted to quadriplegia.
Should the technology to repair damage to the spinal cord be developed, there are many possibilities of what a head transplant could accomplish. A disease such as cancer (non-brain) which afflicts an area of the body such as the lung or bladder, as well as other diseases such as diabetes which affects the pancreas and heart disease, could be cured through the transplantation of the head. People with genetic diseases such as muscle dystrophies whose bodies lose more and more functions over time, eventually leading to death, could benefit greatly from this procedure. These diseases all affect the body but not the head. Should the head be transplanted, these afflictions would be left behind in the old body, while the new body would enable the head transplant donor (not recipient, unless legal identity is carried with the body) to live a longer, healthier life. This would ultimately serve to improve the standard of living for the donors (or recipients) and could potentially double their life spans. Of course, the issue of immune rejection would, however, need to be addressed as it would with other forms of organ or body transplantation. Ethical concerns might persist even if function could be completely restored to the patient: a brain-dead person with a healthy body, suitable for head transplantation, would be in great demand as an organ donor. When used as a head transplant recipient, a body which might have prolonged and enhanced several lives is instead used for the benefit of a single person. Such an outcome will be unacceptable to health systems which suffer from a shortage of organ donors, or could suffer consequent to widespread adoption of head transplantation. Using, where possible, the functional organs of the diseased surplus body may partially alleviate this concern.[citation needed]
In 2013, the neuroscientist Dr Sergio Canavero, director of the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group in Turin, Italy, announced the plan for the first head transplant in man. According to data accrued over the past 15 years, the possibility exists to re-fuse a severed cord by use of so-called fusogens (e.g. PEG). The project, the Head Anastomosis Venture with Cord Fusion, was announced in July 2013.[9][10]
