S. Aly, Hossam and M. Saqr, Khalid and A. Eldrainy, Yehia and Jaafar, Mohammad Nazri (2009) Can large eddy simulation (LES) predict laminar to turbulent flow transition? International Journal of Mechanical and Materials Engineering, 4 (1). pp. 42-48. ISSN 1823-0334
Full text not available from this repository.
Four numerical experiments have been conducted using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) to visualize laminar and turbulent incompressible flows over a horizontal finite cylinder. The unsteady velocity fluctuations were studied at a point on the near wake downstream the cylinder. These fluctuations were used, through the fundamental understanding of LES mechanism, as indications of the LES sensitivity in capturing the occurrence of transitional flow. Such proved sensitivity is deemed to depend on the Reynolds number and problem physics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the capability of LES in capturing laminar-to-turbulent transitional flow dynamics. Moreover, the present article describes a generalized methodology to use LES in predicting the spatial and temporal onsets of transitional flow. The significance of this study is pointed out from the fundamental dilemma of predicting transitional flow, and the wide application domain of such phenomena.

" Genre: Fiction / Author: Radclyffe / Paperback / 288 Pages / Book is published 2011-07-19 by Bold Strokes Books "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Radclyffe is one of those authors who I've been meaning to read for ages so when I was sent a copy of her latest novel to review I was really happy. Firestorm is a lesbian romance novel that tells the story of Jac and Mallory. Mallory is a wilderness fire-fighter who trains the new recruits and Jac is one of the new recruits. Mallory isn't happy when she finds out that Jac's powerful father has pulled some strings to get her a position on Mallory's team but there's no denying that there's an attraction between them. They say that the path to true love never runs smooth and that's certainly the case for Jac and Mallory but can they overcome all of the difficulties facing them?
When I first started reading this novel I was worried that my expectations were too high. I've had Radclyffe's novels recommended to me by so many people and I was really expecting something great. This novel did not disappoint at all. One of the first things that really struck me was how well developed the characters are. I think it's rare that characters feel well developed at the beginning of the novel but in this novel they did. There just seemed to be so much depth to each of the characters and this was apparent from the beginning. Of course the characters develop more as the novel goes along and we learn new things about them both but the feeling that both characters are whole, three dimensional people is there from the very beginning. I think that this was part of the reason why it was so easy for me to connect with the characters. I found both characters very likeable. They're both strong, independent women, which always appeals to me in a character. I felt like both characters were very evenly matched in this novel. At points during the book one was more vulnerable than the other, or in a better position to support the other, but it never felt like there was an uneven power distribution. I really enjoyed that in this novel, it just felt like they were complete equals.
This novel is a romance novel and not erotica but I found it incredibly hot. I think it's easy to make erotica hot or even romance novels hot when there are explicit sex scenes but in this novel there was very little sex and it still managed to be scorching. At one point I felt very uncomfortable sitting in costa reading it...and they weren't even doing anything that was overtly sexual, it was just that there was the chemistry and the subtle provocation that worked really well in this context. When the sex scenes did come they were on fire but they weren't overly done. I don't know how Radclyffe does it but she manages to make this book far hotter than some erotic novels that I've read.
I think that one thing that a lot of romance novels miss is the big build up to a relationship. It seems that so many novels just jump in there and move things really fast so it was nice to read a novel that doesn't do that. The relationship between the two characters is built up exceptionally well. It never feels like things are too slow or that some action is needed but it does take a long time for Mallory and Jac to get together and this worked really well in this novel. It just felt like there was a real foundation for their relationship that many romance novels seem to lack.
There is a lot of action in this novel but it seems to be there for the purpose of the romance and the character building rather than being the point of the novel in itself. I wouldn't read the book just for the action (and I'm not much of an action novel fan anyway) but like the rest of the novel it was written very well. There were points when my heart was in my throat waiting to see what would happen next. I think that this coupled well with the romance not only because it furthered the romantic plot but also because it added an element of excitement at points when there wasn't so much action between Jac and Mallory.
I loved this novel. I can't thing of a single criticism. I liked the characters, the romance, the action and the writing style. I would highly recommend this novel.

Weekly Wire: the Global Forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
Freedom House
"Nations in Transit is Freedom House's comprehensive, comparative study of democratic development in 29 countries from Central Europe to Eurasia.
Findings in Nations in Transit 2012 suggest that the countries that have achieved the greatest democratic success since the Cold War's end are now displaying serious vulnerabilities in their young democratic systems. Over the past five years, stagnation and backsliding is evident in key governance indicators across the new EU member states and countries of the Balkans. Hungary, a powerful example of this trend, continued on a negative trajectory that was propelled by the current government's drive to concentrate power. Ukraine's scores similarly continued to worsen, with declines in five of the seven Nations in Transit categories, as authorities undertook a broad assault on institutional accountability and transparency. Difficult economic conditions and harsh austerity measures posed challenges to democratic development in the region. In the Balkans, critical reforms stalled in nearly all countries in 2011."

The Fragile State of Media Freedom in Latin America
"The current state of media freedom in Latin America was driven home in early May, when three journalists were murdered in Mexico within a week of World Press Freedom Day. This dramatic example underscores a larger trend identified by Freedom House in the recently released Freedom of the Press 2012 report, which noted that a range of negative developments over the past decade have left media freedom on the defensive in much of Central and South America."

Joyce doesn't get it
Joyce doesn't get it
Steven Joyce's shallow attack on our monetary policy display his fundamental lack of understanding says Labour's finance spokesperson David Parker.
"Labour's monetary policy changes include Universal Kiwisaver, varied use of prudential tools, a Capital Gains Tax (excluding the family home), Kiwibuild, restrictions on foreign buyers purchasing existing homes and farmland and a more sophisticated approach to immigration peaks -as well as the VSR.
"The measures would together take inflations out of the economy with less pressure on interest rates.
"Given that most economists and commentators already understand this, National and Mr Joyce's narrow and outdated view of the world is becoming obvious.
"Labour is determined to get New Zealand's interest rates, which are higher then overseas through the cycle , back to the lower levels of comparable countries.
"Labour policies will see New Zealanders save money, pay lower interest bills and give New Zealanders a more secure future .Our businesses will do better too and we will sustain more secure and well paid jobs.
"National's Sunday night attempts to discredit us are motivated by a fear that Kiwis see the commonsense at the heart of Labour's plan."

OBJECTIVES FOR EARTHQUAKES 1) What was the most destructive earthquake in history, and what was the first predicted earthquake in history? Most destructive 1556- Shesi, China 830,000 people dead 1811 mew Madrid Missouri First predicted 1975-liaoning providence, china 2) What type of strain (brittle, ductile, or elastic) is most important in creating earthquakes? Elastic rebound theory 3) Where do most earthquakes occur in a specific/local sense, and what is the difference between the focus and the epicenter of an earthquake? Occurs on faults Focus- point where strain is released (along the fault deep in earth interior) Epicenter- point on surface above focus 4) Where do most earthquakes occur in a general/global sense? Tectonic plate boundaries 5) What are the four modes of generation for earthquakes? Tectonic earthquakes, volcanic earthquakes, collapse earthquakes, explosion earthquakes 6) What type of plate boundary produces earthquakes with the deepest foci? Convergent boundries 7) Is there any place on Earth that is safe from earthquakes? no 8) What are energy waves released from an earthquake called, what are the two main types of these waves, the two divisions within each type, and what are the characteristics of each (which ones are fastest/slowest, go through liquids or don't, are or aren't trapped at the surface, are most and least destructive)? Seismic waves- body waves p-wave-fastest and can travel through solids and liquids s-wave-more destructive and can only go through solids surface waves love waves- extremely damaging no vertical movement, Rayleigh wave- like ocean waves moves object vertically and horizontally in an elliptical motion 9) What do you call the instrument used to record earthquakes, and what do you call the record this instrument produces? Seismographs machine produces seismograms 10) What are the two basic scales used to measure the strength of earthquakes, and why are two different scales needed (what does each record)? Richter scale- energy released on a logarithmic scale Mercalli- intensity (for local) depends on soil/rock through which earthquake wave travels and construction techniques and materials. 11) Be able to describe how an earthquake's epicenter is located. 1) use seismometers to measure the difference p-wave and s-wave arrival times 2) use known velocities of these waves to calculate the distance of the epicenter from the seismometer 3)use distance calculations from three stations to triangulate the exact position of the earthquake epicenter 12) What characteristics of seismic waves allow us to determine the interior structure of the earth, and what is this structure? a)use seismic waves to look inside the earth can be thought of as the first form of remote sensing b)seismic waves reflect and refract(bend) within the Earth and can reveal layers of differing composition and physical state c) d) nickel core (inner-SOLID), iron core (outer-LIQUID), mantle 13) How many seismographs are on the moon, and what is the main difference between a moonquake and an earthquake? There are six seismographs are on the moon Moonquake – a lot smaller (no plate tectonic), hour longs, no liquid interior to absorb waves 14) Know what is meant by "foreshocks" and "aftershocks". Foreshocks – little quakes before the big one Aftershocks – are little quakes after the big one 15) Know at least 7 ways that earthquakes can cause damage. Shaking Freeway damage Buildings Wave amplification Unconsolidated sediment Damping and reinforcing of waves Resonance Liquefaction Buildings sink into the ground Fire Ground Rupture Landslides Tsunamis (aka Tidal Waves) 16) Know the ways that have been used, or are being considered, for earthquake prediction, and how well they have proven themselves (i.e. if they are dubious or less dubious techniques) Dubious Animal behavior Earthquake Weather (eerily calm) Glow in the sky Tidal pull of sun and moon (and other planets) Semi successful near volcanoes for minor quakes Less Dubious Changes in P-Wave velocity Ground uplift and tilt Radon emission Electrical resistivity of the rocks Number of local earthquakes (foreshocks) Geyser activity (changes in water table) Very Low Frequency (VLF) EMR Two recently launched satellites measure magnetic field of the earth 17) What is the other option besides earthquake prediction that can be used to lower damage and casualties? Risk Management Paleoseismicity If we can determine when past earthquakes took place we may be able to judge the frequency of major events Tree Ring Data Sand boils Sea terraces due to uplift Historical records

A look at winners and losers at the NHL trade deadline.
Montreal Canadiens
At the last minute, the Habs swooped in and grabbed Thomas Vanek, the player most hockey people considered to be the best natural goal-scorer available on the market. As enigmatic as this guy can be, he gives the Habs a true game-changer in an Eastern Conference where there is a logjam for playoff spots. "For me, it's the message that Marc (GM Bergevin) is sending to the players," coach Michel Therrien said. The message? We can win now. Even though Vanek becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, giving up prospect Sebastian Collberg and a conditional draft pick doesn't seem like a lot.
New York Rangers
With apologies to Ryan Callahan, adding the defending scoring champion in Marty St. Louis definitely is an upgrade for the Broadway Blueshirts. Don't forget that he'll be reunited with Brad Richards, his teammate on the 2004 Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning. The Rangers now have a much more dynamic look.
Ottawa Senators
Better the enemy you know. After watching Ales Hemsky score twice for the Oilers in a 3-2 win over his Sens on Tuesday, Bryan Murray brings in a potentially dynamic, albeit inconsistent, scorer who should thrive on a line with Jason Spezza. Meanwhile, getting Chris Phillips re-signed ensures one of the team leaders on the ice and in the dressing room stays put.
Washington Capitals
Goalie Jaroslav Halak brings stability to a position where Braden Holtby has been up and down all season. Tuesday's addition of Dustin Penner provides a big body that complements skilled players like Alex Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom.
Minnesota Wild
Scoring has always been an issue since this franchise first entered the league. Matt Moulson should help address those woes.
Los Angeles Kings
Two year ago, GM Dean Lombardi looked to the Blue Jackets to help solve the Kings' goal-scoring issues by trading for Jeff Cater. This time around, with Los Angeles facing the same issues, these two teams hook up again as Marian Gaborik comes to the Left Coast. Let's see how long disciplinarian coach Darryl Sutter can put up with Gaborik's "throw-defence-to-the-wind" ways.
Anaheim Ducks
When GM Bob Murray dealt winger Dustin Penner and goalie Viktor Fasth on Tuesday, the expectations were that the Ducks were clearing cap space to bring in a top-end forward. Instead, they stood pat while the cross-town Kings were revving up their roster with the addition of Gaborik. Incoming veteran defenceman Stephane Robidas will help, but he's been injured for a good chunk of the season.
Steven Stamkos
Stamkos had to fight back the tears while discussing the departure of St. Louis, his teammate, mentor and closest friend on the team. While Stamkos will return to the Lightning lineup Thursday after missing four months with a broken leg, he'll be missing his buddy both on the ice and off.
John Tavares
You are John Tavares. You signed a six-year extension with the Islanders in 2011 in a strong show of faith toward the organization. Now you have been part of a season in which you watched your GM, Garth Snow, trade your buddy and linemate Moulson to the Sabres as part of a ridiculously one-sided deal in Buffalo's favour; then ship out the guy you got in that swap, Vanek, to Montreal for a marginal return. How frustrated are you? Now you know how long-suffering Isles fans feel.
Canucks fans
A day after the popular Roberto Luongo gets sent to Florida, GM Mike Gillis opts not to deal Ryan Kesler, who reportedly wouldn't mind a change of scenery. The thinking is that Gillis might get a better return for Kesler in the summer. Of course, that was the logic a couple of years ago when Luongo was being shopped — and Vancouver supporters had a front row seat as Gillis waited too long to pull the trigger.
Martin Brodeur
Wants to play next year and was open to getting moved Wednesday. He wasn't.

Remember back in April when Eric Stonestreet said he'd love to work on the second season of American Horror Story? Well it looks like he got his wish!
Stonestreet got excited about American Horror Story: Asylum when it was exposed that the show would focus around Jessica Lange's character, Sister Jude. He praised her saying "My gosh — in so many different ways I would love to be with Jessica Lange." Of course, he's also a fan of showrunner Ryan Murphy.
In the first season of American Horror Story Stonestreet played one of the psych patients being treated by Ben Harmon. He appeared in 1×06 "Piggy, Piggy" and of course was killed off by the end of the episode. This time around, Ryan Murphy revealed to TV Line that Stonestreet will be playing a killer at the asylum and he will also be sharing scenes with Sarah Paulson. Paulson's character, Lana, is a lesbian journalist who is sent to the asylum after she threatens to expose them by her own girlfriend.
Are you excited to see the return of Stonestreet to American Horror Story? How do you think his new character will tie in with Paulson's character?
American Horror Story: Asylum returns Oct. 17 at 10 p.m. on FX.

CHELMSFORD, Mass., July 5 /PRNewswire/ -- ESA Biosciences, a Magellan Biosciences company and leading provider of advanced instruments, point-of-care products, and services for biomedical research and clinical diagnostics worldwide, announced today that R&D Magazine has selected the Corona CAD (Charged Aerosol Detector) for its prestigious 2005 R&D 100 Award. The Corona is a breakthrough, universal detector technology for HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography).
Dubbed "the Oscars of Invention" by The Chicago Tribune, the winning of an R&D 100 Award "provides a mark of excellence known to industry, government, and academia as proof that the product is one of the most innovative ideas of the year," according to Tim Studt, editor-in-chief of R&D Magazine. This is the second time since its introduction in October 2004 that the Corona has received high honors. This past March, the Corona won the 2005 Silver Pittcon Editors' Award for best new product.
"We are thrilled to become a member of this elite group of R&D 100 award winners, which includes products as diverse as the automated teller machine (1973) and the antismoking patch (1992)," said ESA President Walter DiGiusto, "I would like to thank all those who worked on this important product -- and that includes our customers who provided valuable input throughout its development, first outlining what their ideal instrument would comprise, and then testing to ensure that the Corona met their rigorous demand."
According to ESA Vice President of Sales and Marketing John Christensen, recognizing the significant limitations of currently available technology, the company set out to develop the first truly universal detector for HPLC capable of performing the kind of rigorous, repeatable qualitative and quantitative analyses that pharmaceutical and other-industry customers require. "In pharmaceutical applications -- where identification of contaminants, or a precise understanding of how and why a compound degrades, or an exact quantitation of active and inactive ingredients can literally be a matter of life and death -- manufacturers have had to rely on imprecise tools that can only illuminate part of the equation. Our customers were looking for more-complete answers so they could leave the guesswork out of their critical decisions affecting the public's health and well-being and their companies' reputation and bottom line."
The Corona CAD is a breakthrough device because it is the only available technology to simultaneously offer the following benefits in one, rugged, cost-effective, easy-to-use instrument:
* Excellent sensitivity
* Wide dynamic range
* Superior reproducibility
* More consistent response
* Broad applicability
* Intuitive operation
About ESA Biosciences
Founded in 1968, ESA Biosciences, Inc. is a leading manufacturer and supplier of analytical instruments for the life science, clinical diagnostic, drug discovery, and pharmaceutical industries.

IT'S a big game for Taunton Titans at Hyde Park tomorrow (Saturday). Visitors Southend will be playing for their National league lives, as a defeat would put them firmly in the drop zone at least eight points adrift of the Somerset club.
Titans will also be full tilt in this one looking to increase their cushion above the relegation dog-fight.
The weather claimed the entire league programme last week adding further to Titans backlog of games.
Titans' Operational Director Dave Webber said: "Scheduling the outstanding games is something we can sort. The most important factor is a win on Saturday and a big crowd to support the lads." Titans fans will be looking to Clifton to take the points at fourth from bottom Lydney in another key game to Taunton's season. This really could be Super Saturday for the Titans.
A bonus point win, and they could leapfrog Lydney and be within touching distance of Bournemouth. A defeat and the Titans are well and truly in a relegation fight.
An interesting twist to the relegation issue is being voiced by National League Div 2 North clubs.
The National League Division 2 consists of 32 clubs in two leagues – National 2 South and National 2 North. Each season three teams are relegated from each league.
When Rugby withdrew from 2 South at the start of the season, RFU thinking was that two teams only would be relegated from that league with the complement of 16 teams re-established next season with the promotion of three new teams to the league.
The point is being voiced that five teams relegated from the 31 National League teams is not be fair on the club finishing third from bottom in the Northern section. It's an interesting point that club officials will be monitoring.
In any event Titans need a win on Saturday to lift clear of the drop zone.
The kick-off at Hyde Park is 3pm.

Sao Paulo: Belgium are not firing on all cylinders and had to grind out narrow wins over Algeria and Russia in Group H, so a game against leaky South Korea might be just what the doctor ordered.
While the win over Russia sealed Belgium's place in the last 16, they will have to find their scoring touch if they are to go deeper in the tournament.
South Korea can still qualify in second place with a big win, and providing the result of the other group game goes their way, but it would be a minor miracle if they keep the clean sheet they will need against Belgium.
The Koreans saw their hopes virtually extinguished on Sunday with a 4-2 defeat by Algeria.

Vasquez Set to Debut with Mariners
LHP Anthony Vasquez, a LumberKing from '09-'10, will make spot start in Cleveland
By Dave Lezotte / Clinton LumberKings | August 23, 2011 7:04 AM ET
Clinton, IA - Left-hander Anthony Vasquez will become the eighth former Clinton LumberKing to make a Major League debut this season when he suits up for the Seattle Mariners tonight in Cleveland. Vasquez, a starting pitcher for the Kings in 2009 and 2010, is slated to make a spot start in the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader against the Indians.
Vasquez, 24, was called up from triple-A Tacoma where he went 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA in eight starts with the Rainiers. He started the season with double-A Jackson, going 5-7 with a 3.77 ERA in 16 starts.
Drafted by the Mariners in the 18th round in 2009 out of the University of Southern California, Vasquez jumped from rookie Pulaski to Clinton late in the '09 campaign and went 3-3 with a 5.66 ERA in seven starts for the LumberKings. He'd return on the Opening Day roster in 2010 and would go 2-2 with an impressive 1.29 ERA in eight starts, including a complete-game loss at Beloit on April 19. Vasquez advanced to High Desert (7-4, 3.07) and finished up last season with double-A West Tenn. (2-3, 2.61).
Vasquez will join right-handers Josh Lueke (Seattle), Tom Wilhelmsen (Seattle), Cody Eppley (Texas), Maikel Cleto (St. Louis) and Blake Beavan (Seattle), infielder Kyle Seager (Seattle) and catcher Manny Pina (Kansas City) as former LumberKings to make big-league debuts this season. Lueke, Wilhelmsen, Beavan and Seager are all currently in the Major Leagues with the Mariners.
Once Vasquez throws his first pitch, he'll be the 232nd former Clinton player to appear in a Major League game dating back to the franchise's inception in 1937.
For tickets, official team merchandise, the 2011 promotional schedule and more, call the LumberKings at 563-242-0727 or visit www.lumberkings.com.

Are most horsehair brushes the same or are there significant differences? I've seen some good-sized ones at the Johnston and Murphy store for $6.50 and some at Allen Edmonds for $7.00. Thanks for your input.

A joint venture between the private and public sectors is the best way to pay for a big hotel to lure groups to the Salt Palace Convention Center, according to a study presented Tuesday at separate Salt Lake County and Salt Lake City council meetings.
Taxpayers would have to contribute $99.5 million to build the envisioned hotel, with its 1,000 rooms, dozens of suites, two ballrooms and abundant meeting space, said Jeff Sachs, managing partner of Georgia-based Strategic Advisory Group, a consultant paid $25,000 to analyze financial models for a downtown convention center hotel.
The public investment would go into meeting space and parking, while a private-sector partner would invest about $236 million into buying the land and building the rooms, he added.

SOUTH Dorset MP Richard Drax has demanded a rethink on Government's defence cuts.
He spoke against the spending plans during a Commons motion calling for a u-turn on the decision to cut the 2nd Regiment Royal Fusiliers (2RRF).
Mr Drax, who is a former soldier, said: "The priority should be to defend our country and her people.
"Our priorities are wrong."
"Throwing money at the Soviet-style bureaucracy that some people call the EU and at foreign aid to states that practise genocide is utter madness at a time when we are cutting our armed services."
He added: "It is clear to me that the defence spending review was carried out by accountants, not according to military logic."
"Consequently, we now find ourselves making decisions for political expediency.
"As a former soldier, I find that shameful."
The motion was brought to the Commons by Conservative MP John Baron, a former member of 2RRF.
Mr Drax spent nine years in the Coldstream Guards before becoming a journalist and then South Dorset MP.

Coverage of the recent Brink blast is still coming in, with OXM UK, Britxbox and Games.on all publishing previews of the Splash Damage shooter.
If you're still not sure what to make of this Brink game, don't forget to check out the bevy of new gameplay videos. G4's Adam Sessler was "pleasantly surprised" after viewing them, reporting: "It wasn't until we received the videos that I fully appreciated how ambitious [Brink] is with campaign-based multiplayer."
Sarcastic Gamer took a look at the art of the Ark, highlighting Brink concepts in the first SG Artview. The site is also collecting questions that it plans to pose to Brink developers, so head over to the SG forums to suggest a few.
In listy news, the Fallout 3 DLC expansions have been nominated for Machinima.com's Inside Gaming Awards 2009. Speaking to that content, Telegraph named Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition as one of the top 10 time-stealing games of 2009. Platform Nation also included Brink in its list of "10 Original IPs for 2010."
Lastly, GameSpot spoke to Fallout 3 lead designer Emil Pagliarulo for its examination of moral quandaries in video games. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
"I think players simply get tired of experiencing the same things over and over and over in games. Frankly, it gets boring. When morality's involved, the simple act of shooting a bad guy isn't so simple anymore."
As more news hits the interwebs, we'll keep you posted.

Rightio then, that's all from us. Thanks for joining us as we tried to keep abreast of the Beverly Hilton tonight.
One thing we didn't mention at the time is this little giggle from the star of the night, Leonardo DiCaprio, when Lady Gaga won her Best Supporting Actress trophy.
Biggest winner:
That's three awards for The Revanant. The only movie it missed out on was Best Original Score.
Here is our critic Jake Wilson's (not so favourable) review of this movie that is no doubt shaping up to be an Oscars favourite.
Biggest loser:
On the other end of the spectrum was Cate Blanchett's film Carol which was nominated for five and didn't get a single gong. Compare that to Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1967) and The Godfather Part III (1991) which both got seven nominations and no awards.
Best Motion Picture - Drama
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Winner: The Revenant
It's official, The Revenant is cleaning up tonight.
"This movie is about the strength of the human spirit and it's about trust and there is noone more deserving of that trust than Alejandro Innaritu."
Leonardo also made a impassioned plea for indigenous rights. '
"Lastly I want to share this award with First Nations people represented in this film and all the indigenous communities around the world: it is time that we recognise your history and we protect your indigenous lands from corporate interests and people who are out there to exploit them. It is time that we heard your voice and protected this planet for future generations."

Yes! Brie Larson! A thoroughly deserving winner. Only this week Jennifer Lawrence came out and said she thought Larson should win.
"I think this is Brie Larson's year, it should be."
And so it was.

We can all agree that The Martian was great, right? But did it make you laugh out loud like Trainwreck or Spy?
Yes, that's right, The Martian won best comedy. Even Ridley Scott was surprises starting his speech by saying "comedy?"
Scott accepted the award. "The Martian began with a very smart book by Andy Weir". Fun fact: Weir is famously is scared of flying so has never flown to Hollywood to meet the makers of the movie.Back to top

The Big Short
The Martian
Winner: The Martian
A bearded two-time Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey wishes outloud for one more award for the shelf. Before presenting the Best Picture Comedy, he also notes the awards are important, "huge"
It appears he's having a go at Ricky Gervais who not only said he had three Golden Globes but also said the awards were meaningless.
J-Law dedicates over half her speech to notoriously unpleasant director David O. Russell for teaching her. "Every time I am up here it is because of you." She also thanks him for making "pure" movies that are made as if noone is going to see them. She meant it as a compliment!
Good on Lawrence for also thanking the namesake of the movie Joy Mangano, unlikely Julia Roberts who forgot to name Erin Brockovich when she won in 2001.
Best actress in a Comedy presented by Michael Keaton. It's the J-Law vs Amy Schumer award!

The Cookie Monster!! Taraji P. Henson is amazing in Empire, a totally bonkers show that is so over-the-top ridiculous that it makes Dynasty look like a documentary. A guy was decapitated this season and it's a plot point that's dealt with in one minute. Next!
It should be a purely happy day for Stallone but his win has been marred by the fact he forgot to mention director of Creed, Ryan Coogler and co-star Michael B Jordan.
Taraji is a only slightly less gushy than she was at the Emmy's. "Cookies for everyone" she opens with, referring to her character Cookie who is a ex-con on Empire.
"I waited 20 years for this, you gonna wait. My fans have been praying for this...you gotta give me time."

PIJIP Professor Jaszi in Chronicle of Higher Education: Pushing Back Against Legal Threats by Putting Fair Use Forward
A dynamic professorial duo leaps to the defense of beleaguered scholars
By Jeffrey R. Young
Chronicle of Higher Education
May 29, 2011
A rarely discussed form of self-censorship happens routinely on college campuses. Professors and graduate students choose not to tackle academic arguments that involve music, movies, or other forms of popular culture. They worry that including relevant clips in their work means the hassle and expense of getting copyright permission for each snippet.
But in many cases, scholars can use this material without breaking the law, even if they never ask the rights holders and even if they hope to profit from their resulting academic books.
That's the argument made by two scholars at American University—Patricia Aufderheide, a film-studies professor, and Peter Jaszi, a law professor—in a new book called Reclaiming Fair Use: How to Put Balance Back in Copyright.

Making a Case for The Penguin
By Jennifer Johnson
A great professor and fried pickles is what led three McColl School of Business students to win an international case competition. For the second consecutive year, Queens MBA students placed first in the Baylor Entrepreneurship Student Case Writing Competition. The event was co-hosted by the United States Association for Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the largest independent, professional, academic organization in the world dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship.
Amanda Cash, Christian Melvin and Miranda Reynolds wrote a business case about a landmark Charlotte restaurant, The Penguin, famous for its shamefully delicious fried pickles. The winners credit Professor Cathy Anderson for introducing the case in a law and ethics class. "She guided our case team to deliver a final case that would be stimulating and academically relevant for students today," says Reynolds. Melvin adds, "We were interested in the case because it is real life-just average people starting up a restaurant."
Melvin, a communication professional, says their goal was to write a case students would enjoy reading. That paid off. Dean A. Koutroumanis, assistant professor of management at the University of Tampa's John H. Sykes College of Business and judge of the competition says, "The case was written in a way that really drew you in, which impressed all of the judges." Submissions had to address key business issues like new ventures, international entrepreneurship and small business management. The Penguin case focuses on the legal implications of going into business, particularly intellectual property rights. "This was a very interesting component for me personally," says Cash. "I have worked in intellectual property for 10 years, and I have noticed it's somewhat overlooked for its value as a business asset."
More than 25 cases were submitted from schools around the world. The winners were honored during the United States Association of Small Business Education Conference in New Orleans in January. The first place award carried a $2,000 cash prize.
Koutroumanis gives the McColl students the ultimate compliment. "I actually asked and received permission from the authors to use this case in my Introduction to Entrepreneurship class this semester," he says. Business school students will be learning about intellectual property and fried pickles for years to come.

This is our last cruise with Carnival: Carnival Glory Cruise Review by amandanrd1
Overall Member Rating
This is our last cruise with Carnival
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
We stayed in Miami at the Red Roof Inn @ Miami Airport through ParkSleepFly so that we could leave our vehicles there and avoid parking fees at the port. This was fine for one night, but I definitely wouldn't want to stay there any longer. We got a free shuttle to the airport with this, but almost missed it because at the last minute they changed the shuttle time. When I checked in I was told the shuttle would leave at 1pm the next day. I was running a 5k on Miami beach the next morning at 6:30am, but would have plenty of time to get back for the shuttle. After More running, we received a call from my great aunt, who luckily was in her room to get the phone call from the front desk... they had changed the shuttle time to 10am because of our group size! To say the least, we were rushed but made it.
The embarkation went very smoothly and quickly and I was impressed by the process. It seems that it went quicker than our previous experiences, so this was great. Once aboard the ship my family went straight for lunch and I headed to the spa. I had read that if you went and asked if they needed volunteers for the spa tours that you might get a free treatment and I did! They needed someone for their ionthermy procedure, normally 159.00 but supposed to make you lose 1-8 inches in one treatment by removing toxins from your body. I would never pay for this and I couldn't even tell a difference afterward, but it was free so why not?! After this, I went to find our stateroom. We had an inside cabin on deck 8. I hated our room. The pink metal molding around the ceiling rattled rather loudly. You could see where previous people had stuffed cardboard and toilet paper to try to stop the rattling, so we decided to try this. It worked for about 30 minutes, then the rattling would start again. This was especially annoying at night when I was trying to sleep. Also at night, my husband I would both wake up to what sounded like a wind tunnel outside in the hallway. We never did figure out where this came from, but it was noticeably loud. Another problem was the temperature of the room. We had our thermostat set as low as it would possibly go, and still I would wake up literally sweating at night. This was not just our room though, because the others in our group had the same problem. Okay, back to the first day... I then found some of our group and we went to the front of deck 7 to find one of our favorite spots... the decks out here are EMPTY! It is a great getaway spot, especially with a ship FULL of spring-breakers. Anyway, we watched the ship sail out of Miami from here and saw some dolphins as we were leaving. We had early seating for dinner, but had a problem with 2 people from our group not being seated at our table. I was the last to book our cruise and confirmed our dinner arrangement prior to sailing and everything at that point was correct, but once we had our Sign & Sail cards, it was wrong. So the first night we didn't get to all sit together, but it was corrected by the second night.
Dining room service - This part of the cruise is definitely not what it could be. On our previous 2 Carnival cruises we have been satisfied with our service but this is lacking on the Glory! It took 3 days of us asking for iced tea before they finally just brought it to us. Those first 3 days, we would have to ask several times, and by the time they brought it we were half way done with our food. And getting a refill took forever after the glass was empty. The tea drinkers in our group are also Splenda users and there would only be a few packs on the table, so then we would have to wait forever for them to bring that out as well. I will say that on about the 4th night, they finally got it and we were automatically given tea and they began putting more Spenda on the table. There were nights when things we ordered were never brought out... an appetizer forgotten, an espresso never served. There were also several times when everyone in the group would be served their appetizer or main course except one person. That last person would be served their food after everyone else had finished. We had several people in our group complain about food being cold, including myself. I ordered a steak 2 times, both times asked for medium rare and both times got a steak that barely even pink in the center. They were borderline medium well to well done. My husband and I prefer to do breakfast in the dining room and experienced poor service there as well. One day we waited 15 minutes after we were seated to receive any service at all. I had to ask twice for them to bring danishes and twice for them to bring me tea. Other than the poor service, we thought the food was great. One night the maitre-d came to our table after dessert and everyone was raving about the bitter and blanc so for the next 2 nights, they made that dessert especially for us and brought it out promptly after our main courses, so that was nice.
Entertainment - This was where I was really irritated by Carnival. Almost all of the entertainment on the ship was a HUGE disappointment. The shows at night that are supposed to be family oriented... they are NOT! Every show seemed to be about the dancers in outfits that didn't cover anything... in thongs.. doing sexually explicit moves. I could not believe these were supposed to be "rated pg" as they put when these girls are wearing thongs in almost every number and both the males and females are doing some sort of "dance move" that is a sexual innuendo. Totally inappropriate. We walked out of the 3 shows we attempted to see. If we had kids I would have been furious. My grandparents went to one of the family comedy shows and said it was pretty good, so the next night we decided to give it a try. It was a different comedian than before and he was NOT a family comedian. We walked out of that, too.
Our first sea day - NO chairs available on the decks outside! It was packed so we had nowhere to go. Even when we split up, there just wasn't anything open. In all 3 Carnival cruises I have been on, I have felt that there was nothing really going on the first sea day, then they try to pack in everything on the last sea day. We did find the karaoke very entertaining and probably the highlight for us. The host (Chris, I believe?) was great and we spent several days/night enjoying this. It was all we could find to do! Until the drunken spring breakers showed up later in the night and then it was just slurred shouting into the microphone and became our time to leave. If you like live music and are not a smoker, then good luck! There was a live band in an all smoking area, and a sing along pianist in an all smoking bar, and the night club is smoking. The Camel Club is basically a walkway by the smoke filled casino. I have NEVER been on a ship with sooo many designated smoking areas.
Cozumel - My husband and I went out on our own here and did a 2 tank dive. It was fabulous! We booked outside of the cruise line (we have never booked an excursion through any cruise line and have never had a problem). We have dove here once before with just an okay experience. This time, it was WONDERFUL! We used Pancho's Diving Adventures and could not have asked for a better day. The dive master was great. He checked out all the equipment, went over hand signals and the safety stops. It was one girl's first open water dive so he stayed with her. Everything went great! The coral and the reef has grown back sooo much since we were last there 4 years ago. We were amazed. We saw tons of marine life. We saw a turtle and a puffer fish... others in our group saw a shark, but I missed it. Between dives we were given fruit and water. A great day! We definitely recommend using Pancho's. One couple we dove with said they have been using them for several years and always had good experiences. They have a website if you Google it!
Belize - Just us 5 women today! We booked the snorkel, Bannister Island, manatee watch tour through Coral Breeze via Hammerhead Sports. This was a GREAT day, as well. We loved it! The snorkeling was a little crowded for my tastes. I like to go out on my own and see what I can find, but they break you into groups and you have to stay with the guide you are assigned. They also require you to wear a life jacket around your waste. At first I didn't like that either, but I understand because they are so protective of their reef and don't want to risk the damage. A lot of the snorkeling is very shallow as well, so I get it. The coral here is AMAZING! So many different types and colors. I was definitely more impressed with the coral than the fish we saw. Then we headed to Bannister Island. This is truly paradise! It wasn't overly crowded, so it was nice. We got some food (mediocre, but who complain when you look around!) and floated on the complimentary mats. They also had complimentary kayaks, but we didn't have time. Plenty of shade if you would like, and hammocks right on the water. I could have spent the whole day here! Next, we headed back to search for manatees, which we found. This was a great part of the trip. They let us get out on the very front of the boat and sit. We saw a momma and baby manatee several times, as well as a dolphin. They drove around for about 30 minutes with us sitting on the front of the boat and it is BEAUTIFUL! We were stunned to see a fish pop up out of the water and "standing" upright he literally ran across the top of the water. I had never seen these before, but they apparently get scared by the boats and they do that. Pretty neat. These tour guides were great. It is so evident that they are truly passionate about their country. They sat with us outside the boat and pointed out different wild life and told us about the history of Belize and answered any questions we had. It was a great day.
Roatan - My third time here and my favorite port! Was disappointed by Mahogany Bay. Carnival has totally taken away from the authenticity of the country by building this! I hate it. We booked a van and driver through Victor Bodden and had a great day. We were told that when Mahogany Bay was being built, there were promises being made that the locals would be able to take advantage of it and sell things within but once it was built, anything not owned by Carnival was not allowed within the gates! So if you book a tour outside of Carnival, you have to walk out of Mahogany Bay, up a hill, out of it's gates and then you can meet your tour. But when returning, they do allow outside tours to drop people off inside the gates. Makes no sense! Anyway, this is always a great day!! Love seeing the island and the beautiful views. We had brought things on the ship to deliver to a clinic here, Clinica Esperanza.. we had 10 backpacks full of supplies, as they rely heavily on donations and volunteers to help the people here. After that, we went and saw the monkeys. I love this part, but it was WAY more crowded and built up than it was just 2 years ago. Its great for business, but not as enjoyable for us. It was still by far worth the 5.00 it costs. Where else do you get to hold monkeys?! I love this stop! Following this, we went to a beach and snorkeled. Another great day! Our driver was Big Ald... he was really good and would recommend him, too!
Grand Cayman - My least favorite port of all! I'd just assume stay on the ship, which most people in our group did, but it was our last stop and the last beach/snorkeling opportunity, so off we went. The water was pretty rough, so we didn't tender into Georgetown, instead we were on the other side at Spots Bay. There is absolutely nothing there, but Carnival did announce that you could take a taxi over to Georgetown for "only 5.00". What they don't mention is just outside the gate there is a bus stop that will also take you there for 1.50! We didn't have any interest in going into town, so we headed up the east side on a bus to see if we could find a more secluded spot. The bus driver was great and pointed out different scenic spots and beaches. He drove us about 30 minutes to a public beach where no one was a dropped us off for 2.50 a person. For just lying on the beach, this was the perfect spot. However, if you wanted to get in the water, it was very, very rocky. I did get in and snorkel a little... saw some lobster and a barracuda. As soon as we got out though, my stepfather's foot was numb and he was in pain. I think he stepped on a sea urchin somewhere, so that was the end of that! We didn't want to be stuck out in the middle of nowhere if he were to start having some weird reaction, so we headed back. We were there a couple of hours and it was a good day until that point! Next time I probably will just stay on the ship! If you do get off the ship and need transportation, I would definitely recommend looking into the public buses. We had no problem with that, and the locals were really friendly.
Last Sea Day - I spent a lot of this day laying out on the deck and reading. It was pretty windy out, so a lot of people stayed in. I guess this is why I was able to find an empty chair. At 3pm I made my way down to the formalities to donate my 10.00 to the Groove for St. Jude. They said 100% goes to St. Jude. Then I watched karaoke until 4pm. We then decided to go back to the room to get ready for dinner because at 5pm on the last sea day, they have a farewell "party" which is not announced in the Fun Times. Remember this, because this was not crowded at all and it was free drinks! I know if all those spring breakers had known about it, we wouldn't have been able to get in! Also, you don't have to take the drinks they are serving on the trays! You can order what you want! We had pina coladas, mudslides, long island teas. You name it! Anything you want! After this was dinner, then back to pack. We then went to watch Superstar! Live, which is karaoke with a live band. We only found this on the last night, and wish I had known sooner, because it was pretty good. This ended at 9:30 and the legends show didn't start until 10:30, with nothing to do in between. So we went to bed.
Other things of note -
-The big screen on the top of the ship mostly shows concerts. There were hardly ever movies playing! If you were lucky, they would show 1 movie a day. Some days they showed none, and the last day they showed 2.
-Fish & Chips is the least crowded seating area. If you get food at Red Sail, carry you food upstairs and sit here. It stays pretty empty, but gets more and more crowded as the week goes on.
-Be sure to visit the decks at the front of the ship on decks 6 and 7. If you walk down the the stateroom hallways to the very front, there are doors on the right and left. They are unmarked and you have to go through 2 doors, but it is worth it. They felt like secret decks... no one else out there except us! It was great for watching the ship leave the different ports!
-Go to the front of the Serenity deck at night. It was completely empty and we found at the very front on deck 11 the round couches they have. It was very nice to lay up there and enjoy the view of the sky and all the stars.
-At night there are no snacks! Just ice cream and pizza... which they keep them separate on opposite ends on deck 9. They close all the ice cream stations at night except one.
-On days we were in port, at night we could not find anything to do... except karaoke! The entertainment on the ship was extremely lacking in my opinion. I have been on Royal Caribbean as well, and that's who we will be going with in the future. Its worth it to pay more for what you get with them!
Sorry I made this so lengthy, but I had a lot to say! Hope this helps you in deciding on your next cruise. I will say that if you go into this cruise with the mindset that you will get good food, visit some great ports, and that's it, then you won't be disappointed. No matter how many things are "wrong" on a cruise, how much can you really complain when you think about it?! We have fun no matter what, and the point is for our family to get together. We had people from Indiana, Michigan, Virginia, and Tennessee. When you visit these 3rd world countries and see how they live, you realize how blessed you are to even be cruising, so I do feel bad complaining about a cruise when you put it into perspective. God has blessed us, so we are very thankful for our trips... the reason we wanted to give back to the clinic in Roatan. If you are interested in doing the same, I would be happy to give you more information! My uncle teaches public health at our local university and has a partnership with the clinic for students to do summer internships. This is how we were able to make our connection.
Thanks for reading and God Bless! :) Less

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke says U.S. policy isn't causing global financial woes
Friday, February 18, 2011; 9:26 PM
Federal Reserve policy isn't to blame for the steep inflation and other woes affecting developing nations, the central bank's chairman, Ben S. Bernanke, said Friday as he tried to rebut a rising chorus of criticism of the Fed's easy-money policies from abroad.
Officials in China, Brazil and other developing nations have argued that the Fed is stoking a new round of investment bubbles and global inflation with its policy of ultra-low interest rates in the United States. Bernanke deflected those arguments and - while acknowledging that the United States needs to make policy changes of its own - again made the case that countries such as China that deliberately depress the value of their currencies are endangering the world economy by making it more prone to financial crises.
The remarks came in a presentation at a central banking conference in Paris before a meeting of the Group of 20.
During the event, put on by the Banque de France Financial Stability Review, Bernanke made clear the dangers that can emerge when vast sums of money gush into a nation, as is the case now in many emerging markets. The U.S. financial crisis from 2007 to 2009, Bernanke argued in the speech and an accompanying research paper, was partly the result of factors including loose oversight and bad lending practices that enabled money from abroad to flow into risky investments, such as mortgage-backed securities.
"To achieve a more balanced international system over time, countries with excessive and unsustainable trade surpluses will need to allow their exchange rates to better reflect market fundamentals" and work at boosting domestic demand rather than relying on exports to feed their economies, Bernanke said, according to a text released by the Fed. When a nation's currency is devalued, its lower-cost exports lure foreign investors and consumers, bringing greater amounts of cash into the economy. That can pose risks, depending on how that money is invested.
Although he did not mention China by name, Bernanke made clear that he thinks the world's most populous nation needs to let the value of its currency rise on global markets to help balance the flow of capital and trade among nations and create a more stable global economy.
"At the same time, countries with large, persistent trade deficits must find ways to increase national saving, including putting fiscal policies on a more sustainable trajectory," he added, a clear reference to the United States.
Much of the gush of capital into emerging markets is driven by their rapid growth and desirable investment opportunities, Bernanke argued. The Fed's policy of low interest rates will help stimulate stronger growth in the United States, which would in turn be good for the world economy, he said.
The developing nations have their own policy tools that could blunt the impact of capital inflows, such as letting their currencies rise, he added.
The Fed chairman also offered his most expansive effort to date to explain the global underpinnings of the wrenching financial crisis.
"The failures of the U.S. financial system in allocating strong flows of capital, both domestic and foreign, helped precipitate the recent financial crisis and global recession," Bernanke said.
Although Bernanke phrased his argument about the root causes of the crisis in cautious, technical language, it boils down to this: The trillions of dollars that global investors poured into the United States from 2003 to 2007 fueled a gigantic housing and mortgage bubble. When it popped, the financial system imploded and the country fell into a deep recession. Bernanke argued that if that money had been channeled into building new factories and roads in the United States, instead of ever-higher property values, it might have had long-term payoffs and global investors and ordinary Americans might have been better off.

Home-start Merton's annual family outing to Littlehampton will take place on Tuesday, August 14.
The charity offers regular support, friendship and practical help to families with at least one child under five, in their own homes.
Fundraising events throughout the year enable Home-Start Merton to fund the family day trip to the seaside.
In keeping with the summer events, the outing will have an Olympic Theme, with staff organising games and a medal ceremony at the end of the day.
Cllr Miles Windsor, a trustee of Home-Start Merton said, 'Home-Start is a fantastic organisation which is a great benefit and support to Merton's young families.
"The work they do is so important in keeping families together and, in he long-term, preventing further social breakdown in our communities.
"I hope they have a wonderful time at the seaside together and that the sun shines for them.'

With all the state's rights political rhetoric being thrown around in political campaigns and the calls for pushing back the reach of federal agency oversight, many agricultural organizations and their members are interested in new congressional legislation to limit enforcement of the Clean Water Act.
It appears to be a certainty that a bill sponsored by House Transportation and Infrastructure Chairman John Mica (R-Fla.) and ranking member Nick Rahall (D-W.Va.) will make it to the House floor for a vote this summer. The bill is H.R. 2018.
Stripped to a main basic, the bill would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency from reversing/overruling state water quality limits, permitting authority, dredging and waterway activities and rulings related to wetlands.
New water nutrient content oversight in Florida by the EPA is what put Rep. Mica up front with this proposed legislation. Rep. Rahall's concern appears to come from mining interests such as the EPA stopping mountaintop removal.
The EPA has gone on a publicity/education campaign to try and make legislators understand the ramifications of the proposed law. The EPA issued a report saying the measure "would overturn almost 40 years of federal legislation by preventing EPA from protecting public health and water quality."
The main defense of federal EPA involvement is that water flows from one state to the next. The EPA contends its ability would be limited in keeping an upstream polluter, because of lax state control, having its polluted water go downstream into another state.
Of course, environmental groups oppose the legislation strongly.
The groups supporting the bill are diverse. Some opposing the EPA in the debate are state's rights proponents who suggest the EPA is insulting the ability and quality of oversight that state agencies and governments provide. Others against the EPA position, such as agricultural groups, see the Clean Water Act being expanded into areas not intended when the legislation passed in 1972 and the EPA judging clean water and pollution beyond the normal scientific community definitions.
The bill's sponsors are trying to "fast track" the legislation to a floor debate.

The movie beauty wants to get involved with Community Board 3, which covers the East Village, Lower East Side, and parts of Chinatown.
Actress Chloe Sevigny wants to apply for a role on a community board in her New York neighbourhood so she can help preserve historic buildings in the area. The "Big Love" star lives in Manhattan's East Village and has opened up about her love for the region in an online video for Bust Magazine.
And she's so keen to protect the area, she wants to get involved with Community Board 3, which covers the East Village, Lower East Side, and parts of Chinatown. She says, "I was actually thinking about joining a community board to help preserve some of the older buildings. Try and save as many of them as possible and try to stop them from building as high."
But although Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is keen for Sevigny to be part of the board, he insists she will have to apply for a position, despite her celebrity status. He tells the New York Daily News, "We have a merit-based process. There's no special treatment here. It actually is exciting that someone of her stature and notoriety would even consider serving her community as a board member."
