- Salar de UyuniSouthwest Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni is not only the world's largest salt flat - it's also the largest mirror on the planet! The incredible 6,575 square mile flat is home to many shallow lakes that reflect the gorgeous skies, clouds and animals of Bolivia. A walk across the miles of white salt looks more like a trek across the moon than a trip through South America.1
- Salar de UyuniPrehistoric lakes once covered the region near the crest of the Andes. When these lakes dried up over hundreds of thousands of years, their rich salt content was left behind, and thus became the thick salt crust of today. The shallow pools of brine are also rich in lithium, containing 50 to 70 percent of the earth's sources.2
- Salar de UyuniDuring the rainy season, most of the enormous salt flat is covered by shallow water, as rain has nowhere to drain to.3
- Salar de UyuniThese few inches of water have a dazzling effect on the landscape, transforming the plane into one endless mirror, reflecting sun, sky, clouds, visitors and the indigenous pink flamingos that heavily populate the area.4
- Salar de UyuniThe region 11,995 feet above sea level, making it an optimal spot to monitor and calibrate satellites. The incredible clouds often break to clear skies, with blue and white reflected below.5
- Salar de UyuniSalar de Uyuni sees a lot of traffic, from tourists to industry coming to mine the layers of salt, potassium, lithium and magnesium from the surface. It is also a major car transport route during dry seasons.6
- Salar de UyuniSalar de Uyuni is a beautiful natural mirror, but also an important source from salt and lithium, a vital component in electric batteries.7

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Sept. 7, 2012) – Preparations for the 2013 ETSU baseball season got underway on Thursday as the Bucs opened fall practice at Thomas Stadium.
Over the next 45 days, the Bucs will hold 28 practices, along with having intrasquad scrimmages on the weekend.
"It was great to get on the field," said head coach Tony Skole. "There was a tremendous amount of energy and enthusiasm, and to be able to get out on our own field has been very beneficial to the team. Our goal over the next several weeks is to have 28 practices over the next 45 days, while also holding some scrimmages on the weekend. We hope by the time the fall season ends, that we have a good plan in store as we head into the spring."
Overall, the Bucs return five of their top eight hitters from 2012, including Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.). Freeman led ETSU in batting average (.365), hits (81), doubles (14), and RBIs (50). Among Atlantic Sun leaders, Freeman tied for second in hits, ranked fourth in average and RBIs, sixth in slugging percentage (.550), and tied for 10th in home runs (7). Along with Freeman, outfielder Andrew Green (Powell, Tenn.) is the other returner to play in all 55 games a year ago.
Meanwhile, on the mound, right-hander Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) ranked in the top-10 nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio and walks allowed per nine innings last year. Doane ranked fourth with an 8.33 strikeout-to-walk ratio, while his 0.96 walks allowed per nine innings ranked seventh. In addition to Doane, freshman righty Jimmy Nesselt (Plantation, Fla.) set the ETSU record for fewest hits allowed per nine innings as he issued 7.6 hits.

Entertainment is not a one-size-fits-all world. We want you to be able to choose the hardware that makes sense for you, so we are working with multiple partners to bring a variety of Steam gaming machines to market during 2014, all of them running SteamOS.
Where Sony and Microsoft follow the iOS model for consoles, Valve is aiming for the Android model, including Valve's own line of 'Nexus' devices. As Valves notes, no restrictions - you can change the hardware, software, and install any operating system you want. The right approach, obviously.
The cooperation between Valve and NVIDIA is quite close, as NVIDIA details on its blog:
Engineers from Valve and NVIDIA have spent a lot of time collaborating on a common goal for SteamOS: to deliver an open-platform gaming experience with superior performance and uncompromising visuals directly on the big screen.
NVIDIA engineers embedded at Valve collaborated on improving driver performance for OpenGL; optimizing performance on NVIDIA GPUs; and helping to port Valve's award-winning content library to SteamOS; and tuning SteamOS to lower latency, or lag, between the controller and onscreen action.
This is going to be big. After being defeated in mobile, it seems Microsoft is facing another frontal assault on another one of its strongholds: gaming, whether it be Windows or Xbox.
To read all comments associated with this story, please click here.
With the exception of a few MMORPG/RTS obsessives, most of the current PC gamers I personally know just connect an XBox controller to their computer & use that with games originally developed for consoles. So they're essentially only using their PC as souped-up XBox, mostly driven by the fact that graphics capabilities of even mid-range PCs exceed those of the current generation of consoles (as a result of the longer hardware refresh cycle for consoles).
I suspect that's the demographic Valve is going after here. I'm skeptical of their chances for success (deja-vu flashbacks to the "Phantom" console), but this is probably the best possible time for them to make the attempt: before the next generation of consoles becomes entrenched, and before Microsoft can start adopting Apple-style "software distribution through 1st-party app store only" restrictions on Windows-proper.

Greece's parliament has been asked to investigate why two former finance ministers did not pursue possible tax evaders on the so-called "Lagarde list" of 2,000 Greeks with Swiss bank accounts.
George Papaconstantinou and his successor Evangelos Venizelos, who held the finance portfolio from September 2009 until June this year, could face charges of criminal negligence if parliament referred them for trial, according to legal experts.
Thursday's request by Gregoris Peponis, a financial prosecutor, came on the day that a Greek journalist who published the list was acquitted of violating data protection laws. Costas Vaxevanis has said he acted in the public interest by publishing the list in Hot Doc magazine, which he edits.
A crowd of journalists and other supporters filling the courtroom cheered after Maria Volika, the only judge hearing the case, announced: "You are innocent."
The case has triggered strong criticism of Greece's judicial system.
"Instead of arresting the tax evaders, the journalist who published their names has been arrested," said Emilios Avgoleas, an international banking law and finance professor at Edinburgh University. "It's a reminder that in corrupt regimes around the globe, freedom of speech is repressed in order to serve vested interests."
Mr Papaconstantinou received a disc with the list of Greek depositors in 2010 from Christine Lagarde, who was then French finance minister, but did not instruct Greek financial police to carry out a full investigation. He said the list was later "mislaid". Mr Venizelos also let the issue lapse after he took over as finance minister in 2011.
Parliament opened proceedings on the prosecutor's request last night. Yannis Stournaras, the current finance minister, told the house that he had found no trace of the list when he took over in June: "It is another list that would be useful for cracking down on tax evasion ... I was told by my officials that it couldn't be found."
Under Mr Stournaras, the finance ministry has launched separate investigations into possible tax evasion in the purchase of high-end London properties by 400 Greeks, and also overseas transfers totaling €22bn by 54,000 Greeks.
The finance ministry has said at least 15,000 transfers involved funds that had not been declared to the tax authorities. It hopes to recapture at least €2.5bn in unpaid taxes.
The prosecutor's request also compounds the political problems of Mr Venizelos, now leader of the Panhellenic Socialist Movement, a partner in the country's three-party governing coalition. He was confronted on Thursday by a rebellion of socialist lawmakers ahead of a critical November 11 vote on Greece's latest bailout package.
Two of Pasok's 33 deputies quit on Thursday as a move to unseat Mr Venizelos as leader gained ground. Mariliza Xenogiannakopoulou, a former health minister, said she was leaving the party "because the government is continuing to pursue the same dead-end policies that have already had such dramatic financial and social consequences".
Mr Venizelos made clear he would continue to support the conservative premier Antonis Samaras, who is committed to implementing fiscal and structural reforms despite mounting criticism within the socialist party.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 16, 2007) -- The ETSU men's basketball team will open its regular season home schedule on Saturday in a battle of two teams that won conference championships a year ago.
The Buccaneers -- the defending Atlantic Sun Conference regular season champions -- will meet Eastern Kentucky -- the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament champions -- inside Memorial Center with tip scheduled for 4 p.m. This will be the 49th meeting between the two schools, who were longtime rivals during their days together in the OVC. The Colonels currently own a 28-20 advantage in the all-time series, including a win last year in Richmond.
ETSU will be looking to rebound from a season opening loss last Saturday at Dayton, a game in which the Bucs led for most of the contest only to fall in the final minutes 78-74. Junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), the reigning A-Sun Player of the Year, enjoyed a strong night against the Flyers, scoring 30 points on 11-of-23 shooting from the floor.

For Immediate Release
Contact: Jerry Horn (540) 729-1122
Priests for Life is happy to announce that its national director, Fr. Frank Pavone, will receive the 2001 Proudly Pro-Life Award from the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC).
The Proudly Pro-life Award is perhaps the most prestigious pro-life honor given in the United States. Past recipients include Mother Teresa, President Ronald Reagan, John Cardinal O'Connor, and Pope John Paul II. The award will be officially presented at a banquet at the famous Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City on April 25, 2001. Invited guests include the highest leaders in the Church (including officials from the Vatican), government and pro-life movement.
Wanda Franz, Ph.D, President of NRLC, said today: "We are delighted that Fr. Frank Pavone has agreed to accept the Proudly Pro-life Award for 2001. His national and international, outspoken, public advocacy on behalf of life, has drawn attention to the sacredness of each human life, and our responsibility to protect and nurture each God-given life, from conception to natural death. He has been a tireless worker in defense of life and has helped to move our country toward becoming a culture of life."
Fr. Pavone said in response: "I receive this award with gratitude, but also with a great sense of restlessness, because our goal is not yet achieved. Priests for Life worked closely with National Right to Life in the 2000 election season, urging voters nationwide to elect candidates who will advance the Culture of Life. The people at National, along with all of us at Priests for Life, long for the day when every life, without exception, is welcomed and protected. We will continue to work toward this goal in close collaboration with all the organizations of the pro-life movement, and all people of good will--- no matter what their race, religion, or political affiliation."
Fr. Pavone became National Director of Priests for Life in 1993, with the permission of John Cardinal O'Connor of New York. In this full time position, he has traveled to all of the 50 states and to five continents to fight abortion. He has spoken in India at the personal invitation of Mother Teresa, and to the pro-life caucus of the US House of Representatives. Norma McCorvey, the "Jane Roe" of the Supreme Court's abortion decision Roe vs. Wade, called Fr. Pavone "the catalyst that brought me into the Catholic Church." In 1997 he was asked by the Vatican to help co-ordinate pro-life activities throughout the world as an official of the Pontifical Council for the Family; and, in 1999, the Daily Catholic named him in the top third of the Top 100 Catholics of the Century.
For more information on how to obtain tickets for the Proudly Pro-life Banquet, please call (202) 626-8813, or (202) 626-8827. To arrange an interview with Fr. Pavone, please call Jerry Horn at (540) 729-1122.

Manual firmware recovery for LS Live v1
To reinstall the original firmware on a LS Live v1 using only Linux, here is what I did.
Using fdisk, create partitions such as these. You can probably use different sizes as well.
sda1 Primary Linux 205MB sda2 Primary Linux 500MB sda5 Extended Linux Swap 500MB sda6 Extended Linux (remainder of the disk)
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1 mkfs.xfs /dev/sda2 mkfs.xfs /dev/sda6 mkswap /dev/sda5
I used the firmware HS_DHGL_2.10.zip. Copy the following files into the boot partition:
hddrootfs.buffalo.updated initrd.buffalo uImage.buffalo
On the boot partition (sda1), do
$ date > rootfs_ok
This forces an ordinary boot, instead of EM mode.
I also unpacked hddrootfs.buffalo.updated onto the root partition (sda2).
Upon the first boot, there is plenty of hard drive activity while the Info LED flashes. (I assume it is unpacking hddrootfs, so the manual unpack is not really necessary.) It will reboot when done, fully working.
Logging in to the web interface (admin:password), I had to change the language and character set, as it was initially in Japanese. In addition, the storage space was not available, but this was fixed by formatting, again via the web interface.
This does not perform any actual flashing. Prior to this, I had used Gentoo, and its installation did not involve any flashing either, so this simple recovery via partitions and files was enough.

Febrile seizures
A febrile seizure is a
Afebrile seizure can be very frightening for any parent or caregiver. However, most of the time, they do not cause any harm and does not mean the child has a more serious long-term health problem.
Alternative Names
Seizure - fever induced
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Febrile seizures occur most often in otherwise healthy children between ages 9 months and 5 years. Toddlers are most commonly affected. Febrile seizures often run in families.
Most febrile seizures occur in the first 24 hours of an illness and may not occur when the fever is highest. Ear infections or any cold or viral illness may trigger a febrile seizure.
A febrile seizure may be as mild as the child's eyes rolling or limbs stiffening. A simple febrile seizure stops by itself within a few seconds to 10 minutes. It is often followed by a brief period of drowsiness or confusion.
Febrile seizures may begin with the sudden tightening (contraction) of muscles on both sides of a child's body.
- The child may cry or moan.
- The muscle tightening may last for several seconds, or longer.
- The child will fall, if standing, and may pass urine.
- The child may vomit or bite the tongue.
- Sometimes children do not breathe, and may begin to turn blue.
- The child's body may then begin to jerk rhythmically. The child will not respond to the parent's voice.
A seizure lasts longer than 15 minutes, is in just one part of the body, or occurs again during the same illness is not a normal febrile seizure.
Signs and tests
The health care provider may diagnose febrile seizure if the child has a grand mal seizure but does not have a history of seizure disorders (
In a typical febrile seizure, the examination usually is normal, other than symptoms of the illness causing the fever. Typically, the child will not need a full seizure workup, which includes an
Further testing may be needed if:
- The child younger than 9 months or older than 5 years
- The child has a brain, nerve, or developmental disorder.
- The seizure was confined to one part of the body.
- The seizure lasted longer than 15 minutes.
- The child had more than one febrile seizure in 24 hours.
- The child has abnormal findings when examined .
During the seizure, leave your child on the floor.
- You may want to slide a blanket under the child if the floor is hard.
- Move him only if he is in a dangerous location.
- Remove objects that may injure him.
- Loosen any tight clothing, especially around the neck. If possible, open or remove clothes from the waist up.
- If he vomits, or if saliva and mucus build up in the mouth, turn him on his side or stomach. This is also important if it looks like the tongue is getting in the way of breathing.
Do NOT try to force anything into his mouth to prevent him from biting the tongue, as this increases the risk of injury. Do NOT try to restrain your child or try to stop the seizure movements.
Focus your attention on bringing the fever down:
- Insert an acetaminophen suppository (if you have some) into the child's rectum.
- Do NOT try to give anything by mouth.
- Apply cool washcloths to the forehead and neck. Sponge the rest of the body with lukewarm (not cold) water. Cold water or alcohol may make the fever worse.
- After the seizure is over and your child is awake, give the normal dose of ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
After the seizure, the most important step is to identify the cause of the fever.
Meningitis causes less than 0.1% of febrile seizures. Itshould always be considered, especially in children less than 1 year old, or those who still look ill when the fever comes down.
Support Groups
Expectations (prognosis)
The first febrile seizure is a frightening moment for parents. Most parents are afraid that their child will die or have brain damage. However, simple febrile seizures are harmless. There is no evidence that they cause death, brain damage, epilepsy, a decrease in IQ, or learning problems.
Most children outgrow febrile seizures by age 5.
Few children have more than three febrile seizures in their lifetime. The number of febrile seizures is not related to future risk of epilepsy.
Children who would develop epilepsy anyway will sometimes have their first seizures during fevers. These seizures most often do not appear like a typical febrile seizure.
Calling your health care provider
Children should see a doctor as soon as possible after their first febrile seizure.
If the seizure is lasting several minutes, call 911 to have an ambulance bring your child to the hospital.
If the seizure ends quickly, drive the child to an emergency room when it is over.
Take your child to the doctor if repeated seizures occur during the same illness, or if this looks like a new type of seizure for your child.
Call or see the health care provider if other symptoms occur before or after the seizure, such as:
- Abnormal movements
Agitation Confusion Drowsiness Nausea
- Problems with coordination
- Sedation
- Tremors
It is normal for children to sleep or be briefly drowsy or confused right after a seizure.

Wabash Mourns Tom Campbellby Steve Charles • July 18, 2014 Share:
Professor of English Emeritus Tom Campbell—who for 35 years taught Wabash students to hear the voices of Chaucer and John Donne and inspired them to find their own—lost his months-long and courageous battle with cancer Wednesday evening surrounded by family at St. Vincent's Hospice in Indianapolis. He was 72.
A public memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. next Saturday, July 26, at St. John's Episcopal Church in Crawfordsville. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Wabash College or the charity of your choice.
A Denver, Colorado native, Campbell graduated from Stanford University and earned his doctorate at Indiana University. That PhD program gave him his first taste of teaching.
"I found that I loved it," Campbell recalled in a 2011 interview. "And after the first session the most beautiful girl in the class came up and gave me a book with an inscription in it. I thought, Whoa, maybe this is a profession for me."
Little did he know he'd spend three-and-a-half decades at a college for men.
But Campbell thrived at Wabash. Arriving in 1976 along with Professor Tobey Herzog, he soon made his mark in the English department, developing the College's first linguistics course, introducing courses in science fiction, and redesigning classes in medieval literature.
"College teaching is mostly nurturing and bringing students along," Campbell recalled. "I've often thought of the job as being like a medium. I feel like when I'm reading aloud, that it is Chaucer speaking, not me. If I can present Chaucer in a way that makes him real for students, then I've succeeded. When we're reading John Donne, I want them to feel what he's trying to do and appreciate what he's doing with language. Can they hear that unique voice?"
Campbell helped many Wabash students find their own unique voice through his courses on the personal essay, teaching creative nonfiction long before it gained its current traction as one of the most popular genres. His Wabash mentor, Professor of English Emeritus Don Herring H'84, handed the course over to Campbell, who made it his own. He provided students with workshop experience and a taste of what it means to be part of a community of writers, an essential goal in the department's current creative writing track.
Campbell's love of learning and intellectual agility led him to a wide-range of projects during his academic career. He published monographs and numerous articles and papers on subjects as diverse as liturgical drama, medieval mystery plays, Chaucer, and Shakespeare. In 2005, Campbell refashioned himself into a student of Asian culture, discovering deep connections between European medieval drama and classic Japanese Noh theater.
In 2011, former Dean of the College Gary Phillips said, "Tom can get classes excited about learning the most arcane material, from the great vowel shift to Noh theater to Indo-European language origins. His deep knowledge, his enthusiasm, and hearty laugh draw students into the subject matter. His 1999 LaFollette Lecture entitled 'The Virtual Manuscript: A Medievalist Views the Millennium,' stands as one of the most visually stunning and forward-looking presentations in the series."
Campbell also proved an effective administrator, chairing the English department, the Humanities and Fine Arts Division, and numerous committees, including Minority Concerns. He was a perennial member of the reaccreditation committee and was himself the author of the 2002 North Central Accreditation report.
On his first sabbatical studying medieval music and drama at Indiana University, Campbell met Rose Goldberger, whom he would marry three years later. "The most joyous moment of my life," Campbell recalled. "The woman of my dreams."
He was the proud father of Elizabeth, Joseph, and Scott.
Although Campbell had not heard of Wabash before he applied for his teaching job, he'd find out years later that his great-great-grandfather, Thomas McDonald Patterson, had been a student at Wabash in the Class of 1868.Rose's father, Alex Goldberger, graduated from Wabash in 1925. To recognize these Wabash and journalism connections, Tom and Rose established The Patterson-Goldberger Outstanding Freshman in Journalism Award.
In a retirement tribute to Campbell, Professor of English Warren Rosenberg said, "While Tom will certainly be missed by all in the College community, we, his colleagues in the English department, will perhaps miss him the most. Tom has always had great pride in and affection for the department, giving praise freely and making his colleagues in the department feel appreciated.
"Yet all of us at the College will miss Tom's enthusiasm, his thoughtfulness, and his efforts to make us better at what we do."
During his final Wabash Chapel Talk, Campbell looked out on his faculty colleagues and said, "I never could have made it without you—without your counsel and advice, without your emotional and intellectual support, without your example of unselfish devotion to our students' education."
Then he turned to his students: "I would never have stayed at this college for 35 years without your lust for learning, your desire to know, your willingness to put up with a few of my own idiosyncrasies…"
"A dedicated, inspiring, demanding, and ever-evolving teacher throughout his career, Tom Campbell entered an intimidating English department in 1976 with three tenured full professors, each one commanding legendary if not mythic status on campus," Dean Phillips said. "He has built his own legend."

Much that was old was new again in 2013, which turned out to be a very good year for the classics.
It wasn't a bad year for new work either, even if too many of today's most provocative playwrights are getting short shrift from this town's nonprofit heavyweights.
I was especially glad to see Samuel D. Hunter's "The Whale" at South Coast Repertory, but to catch "The Flick," the latest from Annie Baker (for my money, the most exciting American dramatist working today), I had to hop a flight to New York, where Playwrights Horizons was presenting the world premiere.
Christopher Shinn's "Dying City," a 2008 Pulitzer finalist, finally found...

France head coach Didier Deschamps has insisted that fixating on their next meeting with Spain is futile, and instead is focusing on their game with Georgia.
Les Bleus face Germany in a February friendly before recommencing their World Cup 2014 qualification campaign against the eastern European nation on March 22.
They are set to face la Roja to be played just four days after that latter game, Deschamps believes a win against Georgia is essential to send them into the mouth-watering Group I clash on home soil.
"I'm looking at events chronologically," the former Olympique de Marseille boss told Foot Mag. "On February 6, we have a prestigious friendly match against Germany.
"It will allow us to catch up after nearly three months since our last meeting, and prepare for the game against Georgia [March 22] that precedes our Spain [March 26] match.
"If we want to present ourselves in the best condition against the Spaniards, beating the Georgians will be imperative.
"Saying this may seem tired, but Georgia hung on against Spain [until the end]. For me, that game is the most important."
France sit second in Group I on seven points, behind the World Cup and European Championship holders on goal difference, despite having held them to a 1-1 draw on their own turf in 2012.

- Davis Cup
Djokovic inspires Serbia to fast Davis Cup start
Novak Djokovic won his first competitive match after winning the Australian Open, as Serbia opened a commanding 2-0 lead in their Davis Cup tie against Belgium.
Djokovic, the world No. 1, was never really tested by Olivier Rochus in Charleroi, as he romped to a 6-3 6-2 6-2 victory that set the tone for Serbia.
Team-mate Viktor Troicki, elevated into the role due to the absence of Janko Tipsarevic, then put his nation on the verge of victory with a memorable come-from-behind victory against David Goffin.
Troicki lost the first two sets, but refused to give up as he eventually claimed a 1-6 3-6 7-6 6-4 6-4 success.
Elsewhere, holders Czech Republic finished the opening day against Switzerland tied at 1-1, after Lukas Rosol - Rafa Nadal's vanquisher at Wimbledon last year - was outplayed by Stanislas Wawrinka.
Switzerland, without the services of Roger Federer, then relinquished their advantage after Tomas Berdych brushed Henri Lacksonen aside.
A strong France side also opened up a 2-0 lead in their match on Friday, as Israel were left to stare defeat in the face.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga was not perfect as he beat Amir Weintraub in four sets, but Richard Gasquet made no mistake against Dudi Sela.
"It is the perfect scenario because we've got two wins under our belt," team captain Arnaud Clement told reporters. "We will need to be very focused so we can wrap this up tomorrow."
Germany, meanwhile, suffered a setback in their match against Argentina - after Philipp Kohlschreiber was forced to retire with a hamstring injury while serving for the match against Carlos Berlocq.

About the Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (TNSC)
The Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (TNSC) is suppported by the National Science Foundation's Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI)
What is SAVI?
"Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) is a mechanism to foster interaction among scientists, engineers and educators around the globe. It is based on the knowledge that excellence in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) research and education exists in many parts of the world, and that scientific advances can be accelerated by scientists and engineers working together across international borders. Virtual institutes that connect researchers with shared interests and goals will have a great impact on solving important societal challenges."
~from the National Science Foundation website's SAVI homepage
The Spatial Intelligence and Learning Center (SILC) is collaborating with a network of international partners in establishing a multidisciplinary Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (TNSC). Once fully established, the TNSC would involve cooperating institutions from around the world, organized into national networks. Each national network would have a lead institution within its country. SILC, headquartered at Temple University, is serving as the organizational lead for the TNSC in the United States through 2015. In Germany, the TNSC is currently headquartered at the University of Bremen, and also involves the Universities of Freiburg, Giessen, Münster, and Weimar. The Australian Research Network on Spatial Cognition is currently headquartered at the University of Melbourne, and the British network at the University of Leeds. The full structure potentially involves many countries and can be seen below.
The overall aim of the Thematic Network is to establish an interdisciplinary scientific field, similar to the scientific study of human language, which includes a recognized set of focal problem areas that can be described in a mutually intelligible interdisciplinary vocabulary. Spatial cognition is a diverse and far-flung field with many exciting theoretical and translational research directions ripe to be drawn together synergistically. Spatial cognition is central to many vital human activities, including navigation and wayfinding, tool use and design, and scientific and mathematical thinking. Research on spatial cognition draws on many disciplines, including cognitive science, computer science, geography, geographic information science, neuroscience, linguistics, psychometrics, and robotics. Its findings and insights have relevance for education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, as well as in a wide range of professional fields, including medicine and dentistry, urban planning and traffic modeling, and architecture and design. However, despite the fact that the different disciplines and research traditions address common problems, they often use different terminology and different methodologies, which can impede communication and progress. For example, the vocabulary terms of "space syntax", which was invented as a tool for architects, are quite different from the analytic categories used by neuroscientists, who analyze place cells, head direction cells, grid cells and boundary cells. And neither system maps precisely onto the spatial ontologies discussed in computer science or geographic information science.
To address these issues, we will support
- ♦ scholarly exchanges of varying duration at varying levels of professional development, including be lab-embedded visits, which we believe are extremely productive.
Highlights of completed collaborations:
- ♦♦ Showcase April 2014: An up-date on two of the Lab-based exchange projects supported through our Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (TNSC) via an NSF SAVI award supplement;
- ♦♦ Showcase June 2014: An up-date on three of the Lab-based exchange projects supported through our Thematic Network in Spatial Cognition (TNSC) via an NSF SAVI award supplement.
- ♦ a series of thematic conferences; for the first conference, in collaboration with UC-Santa Barbara, see: http://www.spatial.ucsb.edu/events/STATCC/.
- ♦ a summer school to provide common training for junior researchers at a crucial phase in their professional development.
Summer School Highlights:
- ♦♦ Showcase September 2013: International Spatial Cognition Summer Institute (ISCSI 2013), held at UCSB, August 11-25 2013
Ultimately we aim for
- ♦ a regular conference with a society responsible for convening the conference; for the immediate future, the SFB/TR8 will plan SC14 and SILC will plan SC16—see http://sc2012.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/ for information about SC12 held in August 2012
- ♦ a recognized journal central to the field; we are currently working with Spatial Cognition and Computation.

The problem with doing a play after a movie version with Barbra Streisand is that everyone walks into it thinking about her.
The problem with doing a play after a movie version with Barbra Streisand is that everyone walks into it thinking about her.
However, the Cleveland Play House's version of "Yentl" is strong enough to make her memory just that by intermission.
"Yentl" — adapted for the stage in 1974 by Leah Napolin and Isaac Bashevis Singer from Singer's short story "Yentl, the Yeshiva Boy" — is the story of a young girl who defies her father and her culture by dressing in her dead father's clothes and posing as a boy so she can become a scholar according to Jewish Law.
But, although it is about feminism, it also is about friendship, relationships and, ultimately, love.
As the character of Yentl (played expertly by Rebecca Gibel) begins her life as a man in a small Jewish town in Poland, she meets Avigdor (played by an incredible Ben Mehl), another scholar a few years her senior. Avigdor immediately takes Yentl under his wing and the two quickly become close.
As the plot unfolds, and Yentl becomes increasingly caught up in her lie, the show becomes a guessing game of when she will be discovered. I won't ruin it for you.
However, gender lines are crossed all over, plus the famous full-frontal scene is alive and well (so leave the kids at home — and not just because of that scene).
One thought I couldn't shake for the entirety of the play was how poignant the story is. It looks at sexuality, sexual orientation, gender and so much more. Brave for one little play.
Take the interaction between Anshel (before she becomes Yentl) and her father:
"Why was I born a woman?" Anshel asks.
"Even heaven makes mistakes," her father replies.
Don't mistake this play as one simply about a woman who feels like she is stuck in the wrong body. She doesn't hate being a woman because of the physicality. She just wants to learn — something her culture forbids.
The acting is superb, the set is neat, and that is all we need. The focus of this one is not impressive effects.
It's a brave play. It's an emotional play. Go see it.

Hat, t-shirts, sunglasses and even vodka. Everyone in Wyoming is prepping their swag for the summer spectacle cresting over Wyoming.
Even the United States Postal Service has joined in the fun.
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"
Just this week the University of Wyoming's art museum in Laramie was the hot spot for the official reveal of the 2017 eclipse stamps. Eclipse scientists and professionals from across the country even joined in the celebration.
Eclipse stamps have not been the only eclipse featured products to hit the market.
Local shops have already started showing off their eclipse stock.
Wayne Wilson owner of Wyo Shirts and Gifts, told News 13. "We have all kinds t-shirts, and mugs and cozies and eclipse glasses and were getting more stuff in all the time."
Wilson's team has been gathering eclipse wear since the start of the year and are hopeful to be stocked up by July.
"It's two months away at this time, but it's coming fast," said Wilson.
Other local business owners prepare too, Thursday Casper locals Backwards Distillery Managers released their Special Eclipse edition vodka.
Chad Pollock, Backwards Distiller told News 13, "Kind of after we found out the eclipse was happening and Casper was kind of going to be in the epicenter of it, we were really excited it's kind of a cool event, we really wanted to kind of promote Casper and things going on here, so 307 vodka is kind of our most local-centric product so we really wanted to get that in the hands of tourists that are coming through."
The team of distillers, bottled, boxed and shipped over a thousand bottles of the unique vodka to Wyoming liquor stores.
The eclipse logo is not the only thing which makes this batch special; it is made with Wyoming corn and sugar beets grown in Worland.
"So I think we are going to get a lot of exposure, a lot of attention and I think people will come here and hopefully fall in love with the state and you know, come support local businesses and plan on coming back, I hope."
"It's going to be a full house, and it's going to be 3,4,or 5 days of real good business, bringing in sales, and sales tax for Wyoming."
One thing is for sure, you won't want to miss it.
Shop owners say now is the time to get your Wyoming eclipse swag, before the crowds come.

Although Vin Scully plans to return for a 66th season as the voice of the Dodgers, he could reduce his workload next year by as much as 25%.
Scully said he has decided to skip road games, at least early in the season. In addition to the Dodgers' home games, the 86-year-old Scully currently travels with the team to Anaheim, Arizona, San Diego and San Francisco.
"I'm going to go to Anaheim for sure," Scully said Tuesday night. "But I'm going to try to cut back on nights on the road. I really want to spend more time at home."
The Dodgers could play a total of 29 games in Arizona, San Diego and San Francisco next season. Scully said he anticipated calling...

Oh, I've had days like that, too.Originally Posted by dave_mwi
The computer parses linearly, so, for example, if it's programmed to 'look for' subject+verb+object structures, wherein "who" comes before the verb and "whom" comes after the verb, then, given a sentence like, "Tell it to whomever lost the book", the computer will pick up on what appears to be faulty word-order, notably 'whom', an object pronoun, comes before the verb 'lost'. But the computer, as I mentioned, parses linearly, which is its major downfall because Human languages are not linear. The correct sentence is,
Tell it to whomever lost the book.
The reason being, the preposition 'to' requires an object, so 'whom-' is the correct choice. As for the verb 'lost', well, 'whom-' is not its subject. To find its subject we have to add in what has taken an efficient system years to omit (...)
Tell it to whomever (it was who) lost the book.
'who' is the subject of 'lost'.
As for a grammar source, well, there are a ton on-line. Look for who versus whom. The rule states that 'whom' is used after a preposition. Note, a word cannot have more than one function. It's either the object of a preposition or it's the subject of the verb. If it's headed by a preposition, it's always an object. Don't let the following verb fool you.

While American and European automakers are often considered the pioneers of the automobile industry; manufacturers from around the globe were also making a name for themselves. This is true of the Mitsubishi company in Japan. Started in 1870 as a heavy industry plant, it wasn't long before the founders decided to try their hands at making cars. In 1917, the Mitsubishi engineers presented the world with the Model A car.
Mitsubishi's automotive division remained a part of the corporate office until 2003, when the company heads created a new Mitsubishi Motors company. Their vehicles reached American shores long before the company was created though. Around 1970, Mitsubishi allowed its products to be offered by a number of U.S. based dealerships. At last count, over 720 authorized dealers are located in the states.
Mitsubishi continues offering its cars and other vehicle lines in the U.S. and around the world. The Lancer Evolution is just one example of the company's available products.
Mitsubishi released a new version of the Lancer Evolution in the 2012 model year. Much like its earlier versions, the new model has plenty going for it and is favorably received in the automotive world. Many experts feel the Lancer Evolution offers as much style and performance as other more expensive options. The car is available in two trim levels.
The GSR trim level was designed to appeal to those looking for the traditional driving experience. It features the standard two-liter, four-cylinder engine capable of 291 hp. This engine is the only option for either trim level. The GSR is unique in its five-speed manual transmission and tweaked suspension settings.
The MR trim level, like the GSR, offers the same powerful four-cylinder engine with an automated, twin-clutch manual transmission. This high end version of the Lancer Evolution also features slightly softer suspension settings than those found in the GSR model. Mitsubishi included other luxury extras as well, such as a sunroof, heated seats, and additional sound insulation for a quieter drive. Buyers can also choose leather upholstery if desired.
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is an interesting hybrid developed from starting out with the Mitsubishi Lancer. The Lancer and Lancer Evolution, or Evo, have very little in common. The Lancer is a compact car with very few distinguishing features. The Lancer Evolution, on the other hand, is an incredibly distinctive model with quite a fan base all over the world.
Originally, the Lancer Evolution was only offered in local markets in Japan. It was first designed for the World Rally Championship race. The car did well and quickly became a noted option for this type of racing. Experts suggest that the Evo was so successful on the track because of its turbocharged engine and all-wheel-drive design.
Mitsubishi finally offered this car in the United States in 2003. Before that, the American car buyer could only look at this popular model from afar. Since then, the Lancer Evolution has done well in the American market.
Since the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution has only been available in the U.S. since 2003, there are only a few models a used-car buyer can consider, but it's a good thing too, considering most industry experts recommend purchasing second generation models. These cars have plenty of benefits.
The second generation Lancer Evolution started in the 2008 model year. They can be scarce because many car buyers are so pleased with this model. It's easy to see why, with the car's two-liter, turbocharged, four-cylinder engine and incredibly tight suspension settings. The transmission systems offered on the Lancer Evolution have made it very popular as well. Originally, the Evo was only offered with a five-speed manual transmission, but some later models were made with a six-speed option.
While most auto experts praise the Lancer Evolution for its power under the hood, there are those who note that the interior leaves a bit to be desired. The materials used in the cabin are a little cheap, and the overall feel and appearance is rather uninspired.

Despite giving up two homers, there was questionable progress made by John Maine in today's loss to St. Louis. The two homers were the only runs he allowed in five innings. Maine also walked two. Not sterling by any stretch, but better by comparison to how we've seen him this spring.
The Cardinals had chances, but for the most part Maine pitched out of trouble, which is a positive sign. But, he was lucky the homers – on by Albert Pujols – came with the bases empty. It hasn't always been that way.
Maine was one inning and run less than what passes for a quality start these days. Three runs in six innings hardly represents quality, but does by today's watered down standards. Tom Seaver would call in unacceptable.
The Mets need more from Maine, both at this stage in spring training and during his career. I'd take the two runs every time out, but the Mets need more than five innings considering his pitch count of 88. That many pitches must take him through seven innings.
Five innings won't make it.
CARTER IMPRESSES: Omar Minaya, speaking during today's telecast, said Chris Carter is making an impression regarding the final position spot on the roster.
"He's a left-handed hitter with power,'' Minaya said.
Carter flied out as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning, but is batting .421 with five extra-base hits.
Also in contention for that spot are Mike Jacobs and Frank Catalanotto, neither of whom are hitting over .200.
REYES WORKS OUT: Jose Reyes worked out again today and said there were no problems.
"Today went much better,'' Reyes told reporters. "I was a little bit sore, but it was good so far, I'll continue to do more and hopefully I'll be on the field as soon as possible.''
The will take it slow with Reyes. Pushing him at this time would only risk injury to his leg and would be foolish.

Encountering your Guardian Angel can change your life. This powerful relationship has reenergized people, added depth to friendships and marriages, encouraged people to leave abusive relationships, and helped alcoholics stay sober. It has brought people to a deeper understanding of their faith and to more compassionate and empathetic actions in their daily lives. It has, in every instance, helped people discover their true wills, the actions that they should be taking on this Earth, and the hidden talents they have within them that have gone undeveloped. However, before you can make this connection with your angel, you must come to terms with ideas and expectations concerning it.
Different accounts from different cultures portray angels as superhuman beings with powers and abilities that can be called divine or supernatural. When angels appear, they are always accompanied by amazing waves of pure love and power. They almost always appear as beings of light. Sometimes they come as balls of light, sometimes as glowing bands of light. When they appear in human form, they are often seen with large sweeping wings and beautiful faces and bodies. Sometimes they are naked, but more often they are clothed in flowing robes of light. White is the color most often attributed to them, although many different colors are also mentioned in various historical accounts.
There are basically two types of angels explained in holy books and legends. The Greater Angels, or Archangels like Gabriel who announced the birth of Jesus and is said to have given the Koran to Mohammed, have great power. They are said to guide the planets, the stars, and the course of cosmic events. Archangels guide the Jewish tribes (Israel is an angel!) and guard the gates of Buddhist paradise. These Greater Angels do the work of the ultimate power, or God. They appear at cosmic events and as participants in the past creation and the future destruction of the world. These Archangels, according to all the religions mentioned here, are beyond the reach of most humans. They appear in the mundane world only when God sends them forth to act, and it is unlikely that anyone reading this book will receive a divine visitation from one of these great beings—although you never know!
It is Lesser Angels, also called Guardian Angels, with which we wish to concern ourselves, however. In many traditions these angels are said to guard, protect, and guide all living things. Although plants, animals, cities, and nations are also reported to have Guardian Angels, the most important are those assigned to human beings. When I refer to Guardian Angels, I mean the divine spirits who help and protect each of us from the moment of birth until the day we leave this Earth.
Guardian Angels, even in ancient texts, are described as divine beings assigned to each person at birth. They embody the will and true understanding of their charge and their job is to protect and help that person through the dangers and transitions of life. They represent, in essence, each person's direct connection to God. The function of the Guardian Angel is the same today as it has been throughout history.
Angels are different from us in important ways, however, and there is a tremendous gap between us. We can bridge this gap through love and will. Traditionally, your angel will make the loving effort to bridge this gap and reveal itself to you, usually at a time of extreme need. Yet there are many ways that you can expand your awareness and bridge the gap if you have the love and the will, and use the right techniques. You have only very limited senses with which to perceive the world, so you can't normally see angels who may be around you. These beings are as real as you, but they are formed of a different kind of energy, an energy that is usually beyond your perception. You can see only a small part of the light spectrum. You can't, for example, see ultraviolet light, but you know it exists nonetheless. Anyone who has been around pets knows that people usually feel, smell, and hear only a fraction of what many animals can. I've seen fish jumping and birds screeching just before a minor earthquake, and it is obvious that most pets have a sense of smell that far surpasses ours. Though this may seem to indicate that we are limited creatures, it merely shows that most of us don't seek to enlarge the scope of our experience, of our senses. But we could see and hear more if we wanted to.

Slender (Free Horror Game)
Download Here [56.64MB]
This recently released Freeware game based on the Slender Man mythos is already getting a lotta hype online, and having tried it myself... I pride myself in having been able to play through the entirety of Amnesia: The Dark Descent even as I was feeling the cold chills down my back and actually screamed once. But after a few minutes with this game... I'm gonna need someone to cover my back before I attempt to actually finish this.
I'd normally embed the trailer vid, but I think it's better to go into this game blind so to speak. It's a quick download, so check it out.

Ohey this must be the game my friend was talking about.
He was sick for awhile, so when I got to contact him again, he told me he downloaded this "awesome free horror game" that would make me "shit my pants". I asked him what it was, but he wouldn't tell me, because he wanted to show me at his house himself or else ruin the surprise.
Whelp. Looks like he looses. Thanks LoweGear!
EDIT: Also mine seems to be lagging craptons no matter what resolution or setting I put it on. :I

Do remember that the game is actually only in Beta stage, so it's likely not optimized for every system. My rig handles it just fine at max resolution, though any rig that can play Crysis can play most anything

Alright not bad.
First run I found 4 of the 8 pages.
Game does a great job with the sound and the random static that pops up makes me pretty much jump every time.
The Slender Man himself is creepy and the first time I saw him I just made for the woods, managed to get totaly lost and just walked about random, to see if I could find some more pages.
It got better after that, but it still was creepy turning around to see him standing just behind you.
In the end I ran into the level boarder (the fence), with Slender right behind me, so I decided to just give up for now and walked up to him to let him get me.
I played the game itself on "beautiful" with my normal resolution of 1680 x 1050. No lag for me.

I dunno if people here know about this, but if you want to dig deeper into the Slender Man mythology, there's an excellent on-going original Youtube saga called Marble Hornets that is also based on the Slender Man. It's the scariest and most interesting horror fiction I've ever encountered. It starts here: http://youtu.be/Wmhfn3mgWUI
That being said, I'm definitely gonna have to check this game out. I'm just gonna have to do it with a friend and at the right time.

I hope they don't remake the game into a first person Alan Wake. Don't get me wrong, I love Alan Wake, but the beauty of Slender was the simplicity of the experience. No big story, just an inclosed space with an enemy that is always just a little blurry but constantly in pursuit.
edit: since I didn't see this listed above, there are a variety of maps/mods created for the game at http://www.slendermansshadow.com/. They are fun little extras, but they are not as good as the original.

lol this is the third time I've heard about this game in some form in about 20 hours with the first time ever being yesterday when I actually played it at my cousins. I figured it was popular when he seemed so psyched about installing it, but seeing an LP of it pop up in my youtube feed and hearing about it here pretty much confirms it. It certainly is atmospheric, but it was funny when he freaked out and almost knocked his new laptop over when he saw the Slender Man. Not sure it's quite THAT scary...to me the actual tension is from trying not to look at him yet knowing he's right behind you.

When I first got into this game, I nearly crapped in my undies. It was so...weird
The game has horible graphic design.
However the game itself has this terrifying atmophere that makes you anxous when you get the first note.

DUBLIN, Ohio, USA, 5 December, 2011—OCLC, together with OCLC Global Council and members, is taking the cooperative's ongoing strategy to help libraries operate and innovate at Webscale to a much broader level with the introduction of OCLC WorldShare, a new platform and a new brand that signals OCLC's commitment to greater collaboration in library service delivery.
OCLC is launching the OCLC WorldShare Platform, which will enable library developers, partners and other organizations to create, configure and share a wide range of applications that deliver new functionality and value for libraries and their users.
OCLC will also deploy data centers around the world in support of OCLC WorldShare and other services. The first data center outside the United States will be implemented this week in the United Kingdom. Additional data centers will be deployed in continental Europe, Australia and Canada in the coming year.
"OCLC's mission and public purpose are clearly aligned with the concept of Webscale," said Jay Jordan, OCLC President and CEO. "We have been providing infrastructure and services that have enabled members to build efficiencies in the management of libraries, and to increase the visibility and impact of their collections in compelling user environments on the Web. To date, this work has been significant. Now we see a need to provide more of those connective elements, the services and systems that will allow libraries to leverage even more of their activities and data together, at Webscale."
The OCLC WorldShare Platform facilitates collaboration and app-sharing across the library community, so that libraries can combine library-built applications, partner-built applications and OCLC-built applications. This enables the benefits of each single solution to be shared broadly throughout the library community.
In the coming weeks, participants from platform pilot libraries will work with members of the OCLC Developer Network to help create and build new applications to populate the OCLC WorldShare App Gallery, where users will see available apps and install them into current work environments. Developers can showcase their creativity, partners can create add-on functionality and library staff can find practical, everyday solutions to streamline and enhance their workflows.
The first services built on this new technical infrastructure are Webscale Management Services, which have been rebranded as OCLC WorldShare Management Services, and include circulation, acquisitions and license management applications. Today, more than 30 libraries are already using OCLC WorldShare Management Services, and more than 150 libraries worldwide have committed to the new service since September 2010.
Over time, OCLC will bring together additional OCLC services and applications under the OCLC WorldShare name, including resource sharing, consortial borrowing, metadata management and additional applications. OCLC's currently deployed library management solutions will continue to be maintained and enhanced in line with libraries' ongoing requirements under their current brand names.
WorldCat will continue to serve as the name for shared data, including registries and the knowledge base, as well as discovery services such as WorldCat.org and WorldCat Local.
There are many examples of organizations contributing to the broader Webscale information environment. Some, like HathiTrust, JSTOR and Europeana, are most recognizable to libraries and library users. Others, such as Google and Amazon, are global services familiar to all Web users. These services, and many others, are all part of the information environment users navigate every day—a Webscale environment.
OCLC is committed to working with libraries to expand the scope and type of partnerships that will be critical for libraries to achieve Webscale.
"OCLC WorldShare provides a Web-based platform for collective innovation across shared services, integrated applications and streamlined library workflows," said Mr. Jordan. "In combination with WorldCat, OCLC WorldShare will support the work of libraries of all types to collaborate in new, more efficient ways, reduce operating costs and provide greatly enhanced user experiences."
About OCLC
Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, OCLC is a nonprofit library service and research organization that has provided computer-based cataloging, reference, resource sharing, eContent, preservation, library management and Web services to 72,000 libraries in 171 countries and territories. OCLC and its member libraries worldwide have created and maintain WorldCat, the world's richest online resource for finding library materials. Search WorldCat.org on the Web at www.worldcat.org.

E-health house calls, novel probiotics among new research funded at UC Davis Health System
Posted Aug. 29, 2012
UC Davis Health System faculty are among the principal investigators and collaborators awarded funding from the new Research Investments in Sciences and Engineering (RISE) program to conduct innovative, multidisciplinary research in areas of strategic importance to California, the nation and the world.
Established by the UC Davis Office of Research earlier this year, the program has awarded a total of $10 million to support 12 research projects over the next three years. Five projects are led by UC Davis Health System faculty.
"These grants are an example of recombinant innovation, bringing together established faculty and programs in new ways to generate solutions to many of society's most difficult challenges," said Fred Meyers, executive associate dean at the UC Davis School of Medicine. "Projects range from the need for new tools to help individuals with chronic diseases better manage their health to innovative tests and therapies for schizophrenia. The UC Davis awards will lead to new knowledge and technologies that will transform health and health care and create new opportunities for interprofessional research and education at the undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral levels."
- Professor and Chair of Medical Microbiology and Immunology Satya Dandekar is leading research on Protecting the Fragile Intestine: Integrating Microbiota and Muscosal Health. The researchers will apply a novel combination of milk-derived oligosaccharides and a uniquely human Bifidobacterium species known to have anti-inflammatory effects on immune cells to repair and protect the intestine in critical clinical populations, including premature infants, HIV-infected adults with incomplete immune recovery, chemotherapy patients and individuals with inflammatory bowel disease. She is collaborating with Bruce German in the food science and technology department, Mark Underwood in pediatric neonatology, David Mills in the viticulture and enology department, Ralph deVere White from the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, Richard Pollard in infectious diseases and Thomas Prindiville in gastroenterology and hepatology.
- Jay Han, an associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation, is directing research to develop wireless sensor and mobile health (mHealth) technologies to empower individuals with chronic diseases. The project initially will focus on the use of smartphones to assess a patient's medical status, which has potential applications for conducting e-house calls and other interactions between patients and caregivers. The project will assess the technological barriers, usability, privacy and security issues, integration with electronic health records, large data-set storage and analysis methodologies, and policy issues, which lays the groundwork for broadening the use of mobile health technologies. Han, who is also medical director of the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS), is collaborating with Prasant Mohapatra in the computer science department; Thomas Nesbitt, associate vice chancellor for strategic technologies and alliances and director of the UC Davis Center for Health and Technology; Lars Berglund, director of the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center; and Heather Young, founding dean of the Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing.
- Kimberley McAllister, professor of neurology at the School of Medicine and of neurobiology, physiology and behavior at the Center for Neuroscience, is leading studies investigating the neuroimmunological basis of schizophrenia. Dubbed I-CAN SZ, the project will test the idea that maternal infection during pregnancy contributes to the development of schizophrenia by altering immune molecules in the brains of offspring, which leads to changes in the way brain cells make connections. By discovering novel diagnostic tools and new therapies, the project aims to improve the lives of individuals with schizophrenia. Collaborators on the project include faculty from the departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Psychology, Biomedical Engineering, Internal Medicine, Medical Microbiology and Immunology, and the UC Davis MIND Institute.
- Edward Pugh, a professor in the departments of physiology and membrane biology and of cell biology and human anatomy, is leading the UC Davis Eye-Pod project, which will employ novel adaptive optics imaging of single cells in the eyes of living animals under normal, pathogenic and regenerative conditions. Adaptive optics imaging will enable simultaneous, quantitative assessment of cellular morphology and many basic functions for use in testing stem cell and other therapeutic interventions in animal models of major diseases. Collaborators include Paul Fitzgerald, Nadean Brown, Marie Burns and Tom Glaser in the cell biology and human anatomy department; Jan Nolta from the Institute for Regenerative Cures; Susanna Park and Larry Hjelmeland from the UC Davis Health System Eye Center; Scott Simon in the biomedical engineering department; FitzRoy Curry in the physiology and membrane biology department; and Hwai-Jong Cheng and John Werner in neurobiology, physiology and behavior.
- Simon Cherry, professor of biomedical engineering and radiology, is working to build the infrastructure and expertise for a UC Davis Center for Translational Molecular Imaging. The center will translate novel molecular imaging agents and new imaging devices for clinical research studies. The first project will take a novel molecular imaging agent validated in pre-clinical studies and perform the first clinical studies in humans to establish a translational pathway at UC Davis. It also will fund initial development for building a whole-body PET scanner with unprecedented sensitivity and body coverage that would represent an advanced imaging platform for new molecular imaging agent assessments. Co-investigators include Ramsey Badawi in the radiology department; Julie Sutcliffe in the internal medicine department; Jinyi Qi in the biomedical engineering department; Lars Berglund, director of the UC Davis Clinical and Translational Science Center; Alice Tarantal in the pediatrics department; and Karen Kelly at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Other projects led by faculty with appointments on the UC Davis campus include collaborations with UC Davis Health System specialists.
- Katherine Ferrara in the Department of Biomedical Engineering has established a Center for Content Rich Evaluation of Therapeutic Efficacy (cCRETE) to address the critical need for new screening tools for cancer therapeutics. The new center includes cancer biologists, pre-clinical pharmacologists, social scientists, bioinformatics experts and bioeningeers who are focused on developing and validating high-throughput biomarker assays for their therapeutic value against on invasive cancers, including bladder, colon, pancreas, lung, breast and glioblastomas. Collaborators include Ralph deVere White, director of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center; Fredric Gorin in neurology; Clifford Tepper in the biochemistry and molecular medicine department; Graduate School of Management Dean Steven Currall; Bruce Hammock in the entomology department; Dawei Lin from the Genome Center; and Alexander Revzin in biomedical engineering.
- Dermatology Professor Fu-Tong Liu also is collaborating with project leader Kwan Liu Ma in the computer science department to establish the UC Davis Center for Visualization. The project also includes faculty from the Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Sociology, and Design as well as from the Institute of Transportation Studies.
Funding for the RISE program came from indirect costs generated by awards made to UC Davis under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. These research-related revenues were set aside by Chancellor Katehi for campus-wide reinvestment in research, consistent with the goals of the chancellor's Vision of Excellence, the university's strategic plan through 2020.

I'm sorry...did I miss a fact that can't be verified? Were we not attacked on Sept. 11th? Are we not fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan?
The fighting in Iraq is based on Saddaam NOT cooperating with the sanctions put in place by the UN back in the early 90's. He was given ample opportunity to prove that he was not a threat and did not have WMDs, but he let his big head get in the way and refused to do so. With the US just recently being attacked, George Bush took the initiative that Bill Clinton didn't have the balls to and PREVENTED Saddaam from attacking us or anyone else. Keep in mind, this man wiped out 300,000 people with WMD. What was stopping him from doin the same to us? George Bush..that's who. If you'll remember, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Madaam "Notsobright" and there entire crew all agreed that Saddaam was a threat to our nation's security, had and was trying to get more WMDs and must be removed from power. Did any of those liberals actually DO anything about it? NO. Why? Because as always, a democraps bark is worse than it's bite.
I wasn't being sarcastic.I linked an attack on America to Aghanistan and Iraq because Iraq posed an imminent threat. I would be willing to bet that if it came out that we knew that the Afghan's were planning an attack on America and we didn't go over there and stop them, that people would be in an uproar. It's the same thing in Iraq. The "war" in Iraq is preventative measure. I put war in quotes because congress has yet to actually declare it a war..and that's a whole different thread.
If they pose an imminent threat..yes. Pakistan does not. Syria. nope. Iran..not likely since they stopped their production of WMDs (thanks to the war in Iraq). North Korea...yeah..I would say that they need to be dealt with in the same manner that Iraq was dealt with. Granted, I thinkt that we have learned a lot from Iraq in how to deal with how to oust a dictator that threatens to destroy us..but Kim Jong should be dealt with.
