Corsair is well known for its PC components spanning a range of categories -- from memory to cases, power supplies, cooling and more. But this year it's trying something new with Bulldog, a barebones, console-like Mini-ITX box that's designed for the living room and can handle high end hardware.
Announced at this year's Computex, the Bulldog kit includes the chassis, motherboard, a fully modular 600W power supply, and a Hydro series liquid CPU cooler to keep your build running quietly. You'll need to throw in your own CPU, memory, storage, and graphics card (full length supported).
The kit will go on sale sometime in Q4 for $399 and will support both AMD and Intel CPUs. Though not much is known about the AMD version at this point, for the Intel side Corsair has said it will use a next-gen motherboard to support the upcoming Skylake CPUs. This should also mean support for up to 32GB of DDR3 or DDR4 memory, USB 3.1, Gigabit Ethernet, built-in Wifi, and 7.1 audio.
Inside there's space for up to three 2.5" and 3.5" storage drives and you can also opt for a GPU cooler for an extra $100. Corsair is reportedly working with MSI on custom GeForce cards with integrated liquid cooling too.
The demo unit being shown off was plugged into a 4K TV, while its combination of overclocked, liquid-cooled Intel Core i7-4790K CPU and Nvidia GeForce Titan X graphics card quietly handled games like Project CARS, Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V at around 30-60 frames per second.

Princeton hangs on to turn back Penn, 61-52
In his pregame analysis of the Penn-Princeton game last night at Jadwin Gym, IHO editor-in-chief Mike Tony opined that the key to a Tiger victory would be "winning the three-point game" and avoiding the late-game collapses that have plagued Princeton in the early going this season.
On its way to a gut-wrenching 61-52 win over the Quakers, the Tigers shot gaping holes through Mr. Tony's argument. The victory was achieved on a night the Tigers shot an abysmal 3-for-19 (16 percent) from beyond the arc and despite the Quakers overcoming a 21-point second-half Tiger lead to draw even at 44, the only time the score was tied in the game.
This one defies rational analysis. The Tigers were outshot (40 to 35 percent) and were outscored by 12 on three-pointers. The 235th edition in this long-running rivalry is a memorable entry, if something less than an artistic success.
The Tigers made few mistakes in the first half, although the defensive intensity by both clubs created a "something's got to give" atmosphere in the building. Halfway through the opening period, the Tigers could manage only a 14-10 lead. Penn was unable to mount any coherent offense, but the home team could not take advantage. When Steven Cook went to the bench with early foul trouble, the crowd fidgeted nervously. Princeton coach Mitch Henderson sent in Amir Bell, the former starting point guard whose lackluster play earned him a demotion in December.
Bell responded with a season-high 12 points. He ignited a 25-8 Tiger run that closed the first half and continued into the second. When the lead reached 21, at 39-18, the relief among the Tiger partisans was palpable.
Penn coach Steve Donahue, realizing his team was on the verge of getting blown out, went to the drawing board. The result was a devilish 1-3-1 defensive deployment that caused immediate confusion to the Tiger offense. Encouraged by the manner in which they were able to stymie the Tigers, the Quakers began the climb back up the mountain. The ensuing 25-6 run suggested that Mike Tony may have been distressingly accurate. Ryan Betley and Jackson Donahue went on a three-point splurge, joining Darnell Foreman (17) in double figures. During this run, both Steven Cook and Spencer Weisz needed assistance to leave the court after suffering apparent leg injuries.
When Penn tied the score at 44 a sense of impending doom enveloped the cavernous arena. The scowl on Pete Carril's face as he sat in his customary perch high above the floor that bears his name could be seen from courtside. Henderson wisely called timeout at the 6:49 mark.
The gritty Quaker defense refused to yield an open look on the Tigers' next possession. Someone needed to make a play. As he so often has in his season and a half, Devin Cannady stepped up. He canned a gorgeous jumper as the shot clock wound down, restoring the lead for the Tigers.
The Quakers' freshman sensation, A.J. Brodeur, in the throes of a very frustrating night in his Ivy debut, had his pocket picked by Spencer Weisz, who returned to the court in full possession of his faculties. Myles Stephens converted the turnover into one of the Tigers' few three-pointers from deep in the right corner. The Quakers would get no closer than four points behind in the final five minutes.
Cannady and Weisz made six free throws in the final 37 seconds to ice the victory. On the evening the Tigers had a clear advantage from the charity stripe, making 24 of 28 to the Quakers' 11 of 20.
The player of the game for the Tigers was sophomore Myles Stephens, who added to his already bulging resume. The young man referred to by the redoubtable Mike James as one of the league's "most underrated" might not be for much longer. He grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds, including four on the offensive glass, one more than the Quakers' entire team. He had two assists and got credit for a blocked shot. In truth, he altered at least four other Quaker attempts from in close. Spencer Weisz contributed five steals.
Princeton's sixth straight victory in this most entertaining series was its 111th against 124 losses. The Tigers lost the three-point war and suffered a shocking collapse, but somehow they held on.
Next weekend, Ivy play continues for the Tigers with home games against Brown and Yale before the annual three-week exam break.

THE ALL-SEEING DEMON'S EYE – An interview with DOOGIE WHITE
Articles Interviews
by J. Nepper
The German band named Demon's Eye literarlly swept me off my feet a few months ago upon receiving a copy of their brilliant new album entitled "Under the Neon". I was blown away by the 70s inspired hard rock that these guys were bringing to life. It actually took me back to when I first discovered such classic albums as "Burn" and "Machine Head" by Deep Purple as a pimple-faced teenager. The thing is that Demon's Eye sounds so utterly authentic and organic that I can hardly put it into words, and you can really tell that the Purple/Rainbow-inspired material spawned by the quintet is honest and straight from the heart. While the band actully began as a Deep Purple tribute act, "Under the Neon" contains only original tunes. However, the story does not end here, because none other than legendary vocalist Doogie White (Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock, ex-Rainbow) is fronting the band. Naturally, we at Eternal Terror Live simply had to ask the phenomenal vocalist a few questions in relation to Demon's Eye, Rainbow, and Ritchie Blackmore's sense of humor. Read on, ladies and gentlemen.
Doogie, first of all I want to thank you for agreeing to do this interview. I really appreciate that. Now, first things first, I have to tell you that I was blown away by the brand new album by Demon's Eye entitled "Under the Neon". In many ways, it reminds me of Deep Purple and Rainbow, but at the same time it possesses a sound and an identity of its own. Everything on the album sounds honest, authentic, and from the heart. When listening to it now, following the recording process and the mixing and everything, how do you feel about the album?
It is a very accomplished album with a nod to the past and a vision of the future and I am very proud of it. We wear our influences on our sleeves and make no apologies for that, but we take those influences and give them a twist here and a kick there.
Tell me a bit about how you became acquanted with Demon's Eye and how and why you decided to join the band?
I got a phone call early on a Sunday morning from Andree asking if I knew Deep Purple mk 3/4 songs and could I fly in to do a gig with Demon's Eye as Glenn Hughes, who was going to do the gig, had pulled out. We did the show and played for 2 and ½ hours with no rehearsal. It was great fun.
"Under the Neon" is so organic, dynamic, and delightfully atmospheric that I can hardly put it into words. Did you record it more or less live in studio? It certainly has that live vibe to it in my opinion.
The band always record in the live situation and then do overdubs and solos so that it gives the songs that feel and groove. It is a luxury these days to do recordings that way and we make the best of that. I came in 2 days after a long tour in the USA with Schenker's Temple of Rock and did the vocals.
I am also blown away by how varied the record is. I mean, you guys evoke so many emotions and moods with and within your music. The thing is that it sounds so natural as opposed to sounding contrived or totally thought-out and planned beforehand, if that makes sense. In other words, it sounds like that intuitive, experimental, and spontaneous vibe and feeling that some of the 70s hard rock giants possessed is present in Demon's Eye as well. Would you agree?
Yes, I would agree.
Lyrically, "Under the Neon" covers a lot of ground as well. Did you guys write the music first and then the words afterwards, or the other way around? How important are the lyrics to you on a personal level?
The music always comes first and then I listen to it and write melodies and lyrics. I have scraps of paper with song titles and phrases and lines I have picked up around the place and then the music dictates where I will take it. Sometimes it is just a stream of consciousness and the story does not become clear until later. Sometimes it's more apparent. I want to let the listener interpret the songs how they are to them.
You guys are currently touring Germany and the Netherlands. How are things on the road going so far, and how has the response to your show been?
It is a lot of fun. They are a splendid bunch.
Is there any chance that you might come to Norway and bring the brilliance that is "Under the Noon" to the Norwegian stages? I would love that!
If a promoter can put a string of shows together that make sense then anything is possible.
How do you guys go about writing songs together? Who is responsible for coming up with what, so to say? Do you record certain parts separately and then mail them back and forth to each other?
Andree will send me rough ideas that the band have written and worked out and recorded in their own rehearsal studio and I come up with rough melodies and send them back. It is a good way for us to work. I like to work alone when I write unless it is with a full band at full volume.
Speaking of Norway, didn't you perform with that Deep Purple tribute band named Come Taste the Band at one point? Weren't there a couple of shows where you, Graham Bonnet, and Jørn Lande were involved and all participated?
I did one show with Graham and Jorn. It was a great night and CTTB played very well and did the audience proud.
Going back to Demon's Eye, have you discussed writing and recording a new album within the next couple of years?
Give us a chance. We have only just finished one.
Were there any leftover songs from the "Under the Neon" session that might end up on an EP or a 7" vinyl release or anything like that?
No. But the special edition of the album has two more songs ("Destiny's Child" and "Remember Times Like These") on it. It is available only in the Demon's Eye-Online-Shop: http://www.demonseye.com/undertheneon/?lang=en
"Stranger in Us All" by Rainbow is an awesome and mindblowingly great album. My wife and I listen to it often, and there is nothing but good stuff on there. It is very atmospheric and has a sense of wonder and mystery to it. Are you proud of what you achieved with Rainbow and that particular album? I think it is terribly underrated, but everyone I have ever played it to are always like "Holy shit, this is fucking brilliant!".
I am proud of what we did. It was a difficult time for that kind of music, but we still did quite well.
What pleased me most was that for the most part Ritchie had stopped chasing the chart success he had with Graham and Joe and we moved forward and did something fresh with a less commercial approach. However, he did blink and we did compromise a little. There are some good songs on there. I have not heard it in many years . Rainbow/Blackmore fans rate it and that is pleasing. The second one would have been better though.
Personally, I was quite happy about the "Black Masquerade" live album by Rainbow that was released a few years ago in the sense that I feel that that particular era of Rainbow needed to be captured live for posterity. If you do not mind me saying so you sound great on that album and you cover every damn era of the band so incredibly well. What were some of your favorite tunes by Rainbow to perform on stage? Does listening to that album bring back a lot of memories?
I have never listened to the album. I got given it on vinyl and I dont have a record player. I gave the cds and DVDs away. It was 20 years ago and maybe in another 20 years I will look back and give it a listen. But we were a good live band and every show was different and challenging. We had fun with the drinking songs but they were extras on some nights and did not compromise what great songs we had and how well they were executed.
Were you a fan of the Rainbow prior to joining the band? Or were you more into Deep Purple when growing up?
It is all the same for me and Whitesnake and Gillan. They all come from the DP stable and all were and remain my favourite rock bands. And AC/DC.
Can you tell us a bit about when you auditioned for Iron Maiden back in the early 90s? How did that come about? Were you heavily into the band's music and imagery before auditioning? Did you ever participate in any writing sessions or anything like that with the band?
I sent a tape to the Maiden offices when Bruce left. I was not that familiar with all the material. I had seen them a few times and they were awesome. I knew it would be a challenge, but nothing ventured right? I went in twice and sang 22 songs. Steve called me to say they had gone with Blaze Bayley. It was disappointing of course, but I got to be in Rainbow and sing with Ritchie, which is what I had wanted since I was 15.
Are you by any chance working on some new solo material? I thought that there were some really good songs on "As Yet Untitled" in particular. Songs such as "Come Taste the Band", "Times Like These", and "Dreams Lie Down and Die" rule beyond belief.
I only did a solo album because I had nothing else to do. But it was fun and a good experience. I have many songs for another one, but I am not sure which way to take them. Luckily for me, I get to get my songs and ideas out there with Demon's Eye, La Paz and Schenker, so my needs are met and satisfied. My ego is such that I do not need to do a solo album unless I want to.
That song I mentioned before, "Come Taste the Band", I read somewhere that you wrote that one years ago and that it was mailed to Ritchie Blackmore or something along those lines when you auditioned for Rainbow. Is that true? And if it is, did he appreciate the humor and irony?
Yes, that is all true and yes; he got the joke.
How do you like working and touring with Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock?
I am as happy as I have ever been working with Temple of Rock. We have a great chemistry and passion for what we do. There is no bullshit, no egos, no nonsense. That makes it fun and enjoyable. None of us would put up with some of the stuff we put up with in the past and that is one reason why it works. Another is that we have an understanding about what we want the band to be and how we we go about achieving that. It works. The fans like it. They thought it was another MSG line-up at first, but it never was. It is a new band put together by 5 players who wanted to play together with a common goal and vision. We have 2 great albums under our belt and a 3rd somewhere down the line in the next 12/18 months. As long as people keep coming to the shows we will keep playing and making music.
Just out of curiosity, what are some of your all-time favorite albums? Also, are there any albums or bands in particular that inspired you to become a musician yourself?
It changes every day. I am a fan of Bowie, James Taylor, Billy Joel and the Deep Purple camp. I do not need much more than that.
You have worked with some of the best and most iconic musicians out there and still do, but does it ever get old or tiring, hitting the road and touring the world and performing to fans and so on and so forth? How do you like the traveling-bit?
Well, we get paid for the travelling. The music is for free. I love my job and at this moment I would not change a thing. Every day brings something new when you are on tour. Some things remain consistant.
What keeps you motivated and inspired in terms of writing and recording music? Your discography is extremely impressive, to say the least, but do you ever feel that you have said all that there is to say with your songs and music?
There will always be something to say or to write about. I do not write about the same things I did years ago. Or maybe I do but just through more tained eyes. I am angry about different things than I was when I was younger. But I never wrote about partying in downtown LA. Some people get it, some never will.

One of a kind medical devices... and how to get them financed
What role does tailored financing have in driving innovation? Business Planet looked into the world of medical devices, an industry booming with new solutions to help healthcare professionals and patients.
The medical devices industry employs around 650,000 people across Europe. It's an important sector for Europeans, aiding them in finding the right treatments and diagnosis.
One example of an SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) driving the sector is Echolight. Echolight has created a non-invasive technology to scan people at risk of developing osteoporosis. It can determine if people are in the early stages of developing the disease through a scan of around a minute which builds up a clear picture of the spine and femur. With Europe's ageing population increasing (by 2016 almost 20% of the EU's residents will be aged 65 or over) new technologies like Echolight are changing lives.
Echolight's CEO and cofounder Sergio Casciaro explained the benefits of his technology: "In Europe, for example, we have between 3 million to 300 thousand people suffering from bone fractures due to osteoporosis each year. Only 3% of them had done tests to assess their bone health. Most of the victims have fractures without even knowing they suffer from this disease."
He went on to say: "This technology is one of a kind and allows us to give a diagnosis when people are still young. We can intervene not only through pharmacology but also by changing lifestyles, diet, sun exposure and physical activities."
The success of the technology is such that it's now being used in several European medical centres. For Echolight this means their turnover has increased fivefold between 2017 and 2016 and they've tripled their staff numbers from 10 to 30 people.
Echolight might not be the success story it is today were it not for the equity financing it received from a venture capital investor which helped fund its main clinical studies. The funder, Panakès Partners, was backed by the EU COSME programme.
What is EU COSME?
It's a quicker way of saying the EU's programme for the Competitiveness of Enterprises and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises. It's a huge funding pot of €1.3 billion - set aside for SME financing.
Why does the funding pot exist?
Since the financial crash, SMEs are seen by the EU as drivers of economic recovery, especially in terms of job creation. However many have struggled to get loans in order to borrow money, which means they've struggled to grow and expand.
Who gets what?
The money doesn't go straight to SMEs. Instead, the financing goes to banks and funds who make it available to SMEs. The European Investment Fund (EIF) predicts around 330,000 SMEs will receive loans. The average loan per firm is around €65,000.

Sustainability and Management Competence
March 20, 2014 • BUSINESS & INNOVATION, CULTURE & LIFESTYLE, Editor's Choice, Unprotected Post
By Steven Cohen
After decades at the periphery of political and business agendas, sustainability and environmental protection have emerged at the center of our economic and political dialogue. Below, Steven Cohen argues that increasingly, an organisation's ability to achieve sustainability is seen as an indicator of a well-run organisation.
The Challenges of Sustainability
In the past several decades, we have developed what I sometimes call a brain-based economy. The high value added elements of modern economic life involve analytic concepts, technological development, mathematical models, communications and creativity. We have developed a highly mechanised, energy intensive, high throughput economy that is chewing up the planet's resources at a ferocious pace. This has resulted in rising prices of raw materials and in massive destruction of environmental resources that provide us with free "ecological services" such as clean water and air. Shutting down this economy to prevent further damage is not an option. Instead, given the needs of the developing world, I fully expect the world's economic production and consumption to grow dramatically through the 21st century. The only way this growth can be both achieved and maintained is if we pay far more attention to the natural resource base of our economies and the impact of economic development on self-renewing, interconnected ecological systems.
The cost of mistakes will continue to grow if we do not learn how to manage our organisations and their production according to the principles of environmental sustainability. Our planet is more crowded and resource-stressed than ever. These facts, along with a more interdependent global economy, place increased demands on organisational management and inter-organisational networks. A waste that could be released into the air or water in 1940 and avoid human impact can no longer be disposed that way. Coordination among the decentralised networks that produce the goods and services we depend on requires well-functioning transportation, water and energy infrastructure. Our use of energy and consumption of raw materials dwarfs the consumption rate of a century ago. The management of our complex and interconnected economy and the maintenance of the planet that it depends on require sophisticated sustainability managers in the private and public sectors and a set of environmental rules that can't be bargained away for short-term material wealth.
What is sustainability management? It is economic production and consumption that minimises environmental impact and maximises resource conservation and reuse. The depletion and degradation of our natural resources has changed the cost structure of production in all organisations. Leaders and managers must now redouble efforts to make efficient use of energy, water and other raw materials, and must pay attention to the content and full cost of the waste produced by their business processes. The issue of sustainability is no longer a luxury item or an add-on to those factors routinely addressed by management; it has moved to the apex of management concerns. Following the lead of both private sector corporations and public sector policymakers, the field of sustainability management is focused on analysis of strategies and implementation of the most effective technologies and policies.
Sustainability management requires that organisations learn how to think about the long-term instead of focusing on weekly, quarterly or daily reports.
This new field of study combines organisational management with the field of environmental policy. In some respects, a concern about sustainability is an effort to correct modern management and move it away from theory back into the real world of physical resources and constraints. The principles of sustainability management are built on an understanding of our dependence on nature for human well-being. Nature is not protected for its own sake, but for ours. These physical dimensions of sustainability can no longer be ignored. The field of sustainability management can help us manage our global economy, ensure long-term growth, and secure a sustainable material future, but we need public policies and private management innovation to accelerate the transition to such a sustainable economy.
Sustainability management requires that organisations learn how to think about the long-term instead of focusing on weekly, quarterly or daily reports. In a world of global 24/7 electronic media, never ending financial exchange, and low cost information and communication, the pressure for immediate information, accomplishment and gratification is overwhelming. Election cycles have become endless in politics and corporations are no longer managed to the quarter or year, but to the minute. If we are to achieve a sustainable economy and learn how to consume without destroying this planet's productive capacity, we must figure out a way to slow down the management merry-go-round.
The Evolution of the Environmental Movement
I keep hearing that environmentalism is on the wane and that the political world no longer cares about the planet's well-being. That is, of course, complete nonsense, as is the idea that environmental quality is some kind of luxury item. Our modern economy and way of life are based on a series of technologies that cannot be sustained the way they were originally developed.
Many pundits and politicos are stuck in a 20th century notion of environmental protection and seem to have missed the transition to sustainability. When the environment emerged as a political issue in the early 20th century it was all about Teddy Roosevelt-style wilderness conservation. The environment was thought of as a "thing of beauty" and its protection was seen as an elite issue. This definition is out of date, but has persisted since that time. In the 1960's and 1970's we became aware of the interconnectedness of the environment due to the superb analytic and communication skills of environmentalists such as Rachael Carson and Barry Commoner. Their work led to a redefinition of the environment as an issue of public health. We didn't protect the environment because we loved nature; we protected it because a polluted environment could make you sick.
While the issues of conservation and environmental health remain with us in the 21st century, the transformation of the environmental argument to one of sustainability has changed the issue's definition and brought it from the fringe to the center of the political agenda. Environmental quality was initially defined as something that might be expensive, but if pursued would bring benefits such as higher quality of life and better health. Environmental protection was something that was done after production was complete, by treating waste at the end of a pipe; or it was something that was undertaken after consumption took place when waste was cleaned up, treated, or disposed. The sustainability perspective turns this traditional definition upside down.
As the population of the planet grows and the consumption of land, food, water, energy and raw materials grows along with it, we are learning that we cannot simply use stuff up, destroy the landscape and move on to the next mountain or valley. The current approach to economic life has created a lifestyle our forbearers couldn't even dream of, but it cannot be sustained without a revolution in management, technology and scientific understanding of our home planet. Fortunately, I think we are capable of creating the change we need.
A well-managed organisation will be one that ensures that physical constraints, resource costs and environmental impacts are inputs to routine decision-making.
The Sustainability Perspective
Sustainability is an effort to sustain production today without impairing our ability to produce in the future. Our goal is not conservation of resources, but the continued productive use of them. We do not conserve resources for posterity, but we manage resources for their continued use. If a resource can only be used once, we try to learn how to re-use it, or we try to avoid using it. Our goal is to base our consumption on resources that can be grown or renewed. The best, most effective managers will be sustainability managers and the best run organisations will adhere to sustainability principles because they lead to long-term profitability. A sustainability perspective would lead a CEO to question an entire production process and to see if there was some way to manufacture the same good or service without generating pollution and waste in the first place.
The sustainability perspective is an effort to use design, engineering and public policy to make economic production and consumption efficient and effective. Pollution and poisoning people or the planet may provide some short-term benefits, but our experience with environmental remediation and restoration tells us that these short-term benefits are consumed quite rapidly, and are soon replaced by longer term costs. Clean-up costs may seem optional, but if the alternative is to allow a key resource to be destroyed, the cost must be paid. Since 1980 and for the foreseeable future, America's military, industries and citizens will be paying hundreds of billions of dollars to clean up the toxic wastes dumped throughout the 20th century. China will soon be facing a similar clean-up bill.
In sustainability management, environmental protection and efficient use of resources is not added to a production process but is central to that process. The best run organisations try to minimise their use of non-renewable resources and reduce their environmental and carbon foot-print. Companies like Walmart do not do this because they love nature, but because they see it as a way to make money. It becomes yet another cost advantage a company uses to beat the competition.
Evolution of Organisational Management
I believe that sustainability is simply the latest step in the past century's evolution of the field of organisational management. The development of the modern field of management began in the early 20th century with the invention of the techniques of mass production and the assembly line — followed by the start of modern human resource management. Later, we saw the development of Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP) and the evolution of the Chief Financial Officer. In the 1960's-1990's, computing and communications technology advances resulted in the growth of non-financial performance indicators. Well-run organisations established Chief Information Officers to manage the exponential increase in information pouring in and out of the organisation. By the end of the 20th century the growth of the global economy required that many organisations develop more capacity to operate internationally. The modern CEO must now understand all of it: production, finance and financial management, human resource management, information management, and international trade and commerce.
A decade into the 21st century, organisational management needs another dimension: a physical one. In the old days, water, energy and waste were minor factors in an organisation's cost equation. Those days are gone. On an increasingly crowded planet, the scale of production of everything has grown and with it we see an increased draw on the earth's finite resources. The costs of water, raw materials and energy are an increasingly important part of the cost calculus for the modern organisation. Waste disposal is no longer cheap or free and the organisation that figures out a way to reduce and re-use waste has a significant cost advantage over organisations that do not.
My view is that within a decade the definition of effective management will include sustainability management. A well-managed organisation will be one that ensures that physical constraints, resource costs and environmental impacts are inputs to routine decision-making. I think this can be done, and I think it must be done. I am optimistic that these things can be accomplished not simply because of the urgency of the issue, but because of the cost factors that have begun to drive sustainability in many organisations. Companies like Wal-Mart started to require that their suppliers demonstrate adherence to sustainability principles as a way to control price without sacrificing quality. While we have not yet figured out how to manage our organisations, cities and planet sustainably — we have begun to try.

All of these dimensions work together and interact with each other to influence the school environment. When schools include opportunities for students to learn about their own and other cultures, when they help students to make friend across racial and cultural lines, and when they reduce discrimination and bullying based on race, students are more engaged and successful. This is especially true for racial minority youth who are strongly identified with their racial group.
In my research I am aiming to fully understand how adolescents interpret their school climates for diversity, given differences in experiences, beliefs, and development. To that end, I am conducting interviews and surveys in schools with varying demographics to capture the perspectives of youth from diverse backgrounds.
Our interviews are focused around two primary questions: What do you learn about race and culture at school? And How do people of different races get along at school?
In our current data, we interviewed 150 college students about their experiences in high school and are analyzing how often they describe certain activities.
We are looking for middle and high schools where we can interview students about what they learn, interview teachers about their multicultural education practices, and observe classrooms that include content about culture, such as English/Language Arts, foreign language, and world history classes.
I am developing the School Climate for Diversity Scale as a comprehensive measure of diversity in schools that can be used for research and evaluation in schools across the country. My scale is unique because it can measure a wide variety of dimensions and can be used with youth of any racial background.
Currently, we are surveying college students on their perceptions of the school climate as well as their satisfaction with college, racial beliefs, and psychological well-being.
We are looking to validate the scale in multiple samples of college students and to develop an analogous scale for middle and high school students. We are looking to collaborate with schools that are predominantly White, racially diverse, or majority minority to survey all of their students in order to understand how different groups of students experience their context in different types of settings.
If you are interested in using the School Climate for Diversity Scale, please fill out this form. I will keep you up to date on our efforts to test and validate the scale. I am also available to consult with schools on their school climate efforts. To contact me, send an email to cmbyrd@ucsc.edu.

Two Debut Novelists on the 2011 Booker Shortlist
Well-known, established writer (and now four-time shortlister) Julian Barnes is likely the early favorite on the 2011 Booker shortlist, while Stephen Kelman and A.D. Miller make the list with their first novels. Alan Hollinghurst is probably the biggest surprise not to make it through to the next round. The longlist was offered here with some excerpts a month ago, but since you might not have gotten around to them then, we'll offer the same with the shortlist below.
The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes (excerpt)
Jamrach's Menagerie by Carol Birch (excerpt)
The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt (excerpt)
Half Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan
Pigeon English by Stephen Kelman (excerpt)
Snowdrops by A.D. Miller (Staff Pick)
Let us know if you've read any of these – and if you think any deserve to win.
The Booker's Dozen: The 2011 Booker Longlist
C. Max Magee
With the unveiling of the Booker Prize longlist, the 2011 literary Prize season is officially underway. As is usually the case, the list offers a mix of exciting new names, relative unknowns and beloved standbys. The lone past winner (for The Line of Beauty) is Alan Hollinghurst, and longlisters Sebastian Barry and Julian Barnes have gotten shortlist nods in the past. At the other end of the experience specturm, four debut novelists make the list: Stephen Kelman, A.D. Miller, Yvvette Edwards, and Patrick McGuinness.
All the Booker Prize longlisters are below (with excerpts where available):
On Canaan's Side by Sebastian Barry (excerpt [pdf])

We operate from our national distribution centre in Crewe. With 360,000 square feet, 33,000 racking spaces and 36 bay doors, we have the capability to deliver over 5 million appliances per year. Each night, we fill the vehicles up and send them off ready to start taking inbound stock again the following morning. To see the magic happen, click on our 24 hour time lapse on the About us page .
We have developed our fleet in the last 2 years and now have 100 double deck vehicles servicing our 8 outbases, 225 7.5 tonne Expert branded vehicles and 30 3.5T vehicles to deliver to customers on our 'same day delivery' service. This fleet allows us to deliver to 95% of UK postcodes 7 days a week from 7am to 7pm.
We now have 9 locations across the UK which allow us to deliver more every day. In most cases we are never more than one hour from our customers and if we have an issue at one depot, we can just move that volume somewhere else which also spreads our risk. The locations also tie in with our back haul clients, making the structure very efficient.

Kāti Māmoe (also spelled Ngāti Māmoe but not by the tribe themselves) is a historic Māori iwi. Originally from the Hastings area, they moved in the 16th century to the South Island which at the time was already occupied by the Waitaha.

A century later, the Ngāti Māmoe were largely subsequently absorbed via marriage and conquest by the Ngāi Tahu, who migrated south in turn. There is no distinct Ngāti Māmoe organisation today but many Ngāi Tahu have Ngāti Māmoe links in their whakapapa. In the far south of the island especially, "... southern Māori still think of themselves as Ngai Tahu-Ngati Mamoe, a synthesis of the two tribal groups ...."

According to Edward Shortland, Kāti Māmoe's historical hapū included Kāti Rakai and Kāti Hinekato.

History

Early history
Kāti Māmoe's descent is traced from the ancestor Hotumāmoe, said to be a descendant of Toi, a great-great-great grandson of Rākaihautū. Hotumāmoe is said to have lived in the Heretaunga District.

Early migration stories say the Ngāti Mamoe were forced out of their home in the Heretaunga, and took refuge in Te Whanganui-a-Tara with the permission of Ngāi Tara's ancestor and namesake, Tara. Later after they had moved down to the South Island, they defeated Waitaha along the east coast under the leadership of Chief Tūtewaimate. His descendants lived on at Rakaia for about six generations.

17th century

Marukore and Tūhaitara
The Ngāi Tahu ancestress Tūhaitara insulting her husband Chief Marukore of Ngāti Mamoe, or Te Kāhea, and his ancestry, as well as various other exchanges are the reason for war between their two tribes. Tūhaitara herself had a degree of Ngāti Mamoe heritage, but Marukore was viewed as below her status. They had 11 children in total, including Tamaraeroa, Huirapa, Tahumatā, Pahirua, and Hinehou.

Tūhaitara instructed Tamaraeroa and Huirapa to kill Marukore at a place called Papanui. However, Marukore knew of their plan and defeated them in the Battle of Hūkete after which their sister Hinehou laid them on the floor of her whare for her grandchildren to see, and left her belongings with them before burning down the building in an incident now known as Kārara Kōpae (The Laying Down of Fighting Chiefs). Alternatively, Marukore himself burned their bodies on a funeral pyre.

Next the brothers Pahirua and Tahumatā sought out to defeat Marukore. As they were about to take advice from a local chief named Rākaimoari, his daughter Hinewai-a-tapu made a remark about Tahumatā which sparked the Battle of Te Pakiaka ('The Roots') that lasted for some days. It was named so because Tahumatā caught Hinewai-a-tapu hiding under some tree roots, and made her his wife.

Eventually the Ngāti Mamoe chief Hikaororoa managed to trap Marukore's party in a whare. Hikaororoa asked for the 'chief of the long plume' to come to the door to be cannibalised. Marukore's younger cousin Rokopaekawa took Marukore's head dress (the sign of status) and was sacrificed instead. However he did not cook properly, and the head dress's plume was still visible in the dirt. This was considered a bad omen and so the body was discarded with the incident being called 'Pikitūroa' ('The Long Standing Feather Plumes')

Marukore and Tūhaitara would both die in the Battle of Tapapanui, at the hands of their son Pahirua who was very angry about the whole situation. In one telling of the series of battles, Hinehou and Pahirua built Kārara Kōpae together, and burnt the bodies of all the slain there. The remaining children of the warring parents would move down to a place called Te Oreorehua in Wairarapa where Hinehou was already living, and southward to Te Whanganui-a-Tara within a few generations, though their descendants are regarded as the senior lines of Ngāi Tahu.

Ngāi Tahu's attacks
Hikaororoa, a prominent Ngāi Tahu member, attacked Te Mata-ki-kaipoinga pā after his kinsman Tūāhuriri (great-grandson of Tūhaitara) insulted him. Tūtekawa (Tūāhuriri's brother-in-law of senior Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Porou, and Ngāti Mamoe connections) withdrew his men to attack at another angle after his younger relative recognized an insult from Hikaororoa. He sent the same relative to warn Tūāhuriri and to escape, which he did into a nearby bush. For unknown reasons, when Tūtekawa entered the pā, he slew Tūāhuriri's wives Hinekaitaki and Tuarāwhati (Whākuku's sisters). After the battle, Tūtekawa fled down to Waikākahi on the shores of Lake Ellesmere / Te Waihora where he lived amongst his fellow Ngāti Mamoe. His additional family ties included his wife Tūkōrero being a sister to Tūāhuriri's wife Hinetewai (mother of Hāmua, Tūrakautahi, and Moki). He was also a first cousin to both Ngāi Tahu's Ngāti Kurī chief Te Rakiwhakaputa, and to the Ngāti Mamoe leader Tukiauau.

On one occasion when Ngāti Kurī fought with Rangitāne on the east coast of the South Island, Chief Tūteurutira had mistaken one of his captives, Hinerongo, as one of the enemy's women. She was in fact a member of Ngāti Mamoe who had already been taken captive by Rangitāne, and so he returned her to Matariki Pā on the Waiau Toa / Clarence River. This struck a new alliance between their tribes, after which they successfully attacked Rangitāne in the Wairau Valley. For this Ngāti Mamoe then ceded the east coast regions north of Waiau Toa to Ngāi Tahu, and Tūteurutira and Hinerongo married and settled at the pā.

Ngāti Mamoe also fought against Ngāti Kurī in a battle now called Ōpokihi. At Ngāti Kurī's pā, Pariwhakatau, near the Conway area, Tukiauau sneaked in and killed Manawa-i-waho. Makō-ha-kirikiri and his sisters Te Apai and Tokerau, Manawa-i-waho's wives were spared by the protection of the guardian; however, they were forced to leave the pā underneath her legs (she would have been a wooden figure or carving suspended in the air).

By the 1690s Ngāi Tahu had conquered northern Canterbury, including Ngāti Kurī conquering the east coast down to Kaikōura, and Ngāti Irakehu peaceably settling among Banks Peninsula's Ngāti Mamoe. The last battle that was fought between the two tribes up to this point, was the Battle of Waipapa, before Ngāti Kurī took Takahanga pā.

18th century
After establishing dominance down to Kaikōura, many of Ngāi Tahu's leading chiefs were ready to expand further south into the island. Their chief, Moki, had learned of the location of Tūtekawa, who was still living just further south at Te Waihora. Moki set off in his canoe and attacked various small villages including the Parakākāriki pā at Ōtanerito. Tūtekawa was ultimately killed by Whākuku, avenging his sisters. Tūtekawa's son Te Rakitāmau returned to the home, where he found his wife Punahikoia and children unharmed, and the attackers sleeping near the fire. Te Rakitāmau did not avenge his father, but instead left a sign that he spared their lives, and peace was eventually restored between their descendants.

Ngāi Tahu chief Te Rakiwhakaputa destroyed Ngāti Mamoe's pā at Mānuka, across the hills at Taitapu. His son Manuhiri drove out of Ngāti Mamoe Ōhinetahi and set up his base there. Tūāhuriri's second eldest son Tūrakautahi, the chief of Ngāi Tūhaitara, established the Te Kōhaka-a-kaikai-a-waro pā (now Kaiapoi pā) over a Waitaha site at the Taerutu Lagoon near Woodend.

Tūrakautahi's son Kaweriri later travelled with a taua south to Lowther around the year 1725, where the Kāti Mamoe chief Tutemakohu slayed him during the Battle of Waitaramea. Ngāi Tahu's Chief Taoka  would push further south to Ōtākou, where he engaged in some of the final battles with Ngāti Mamoe.

One of Ngāti Mamoe's leading chiefs, Te Whetuki (described as covered in wild long hair) was killed around this time near the Waiau River. Two other members, Maka-tawhio and Pani-te-kaka, managed to escape the fighting by way of already being preoccupied looking for eels. Up that same river, the survivors retreated to Lake Te Anau, where they were relentlessly attacked again by Te-hau-tapunui-o-Tū's forces. Chief Pukutahi and many others were slaughtered, with few survivors escaping across the lake on rafts, and disappearing into the mists on the other side. The last pā of Ngāti Māmoe was on Mataura Island.

Over time, marriages had been arranged between the two tribes to cement peace. Notably of Raki-ihia (Ngāti Mamoe) and Hinehākiri, the cousin of Te-hau-tapunui-o-Tū, and of Honekai, son of Te-hau-tapunui-o-Tū, with Raki-ihia's daughter Kohuwai. Despite this, occasional skirmishes still continued. Another chief alive at the time was Te Wera. Tūhawaiki was one famous chief descended from the unions of the tribes.

Population
During the 2013 New Zealand census, 3,111 people, or less than 1% of the total population of Māori descent, were affiliated with the iwi.

Of those, 18.9% identified with no other iwi, and 21.9% could converse in the Māori language. The median age was 34.8 years, 46.4% were male and 53.7% were female. Among those 15 and older, 78.8% held a formal qualification, 44.6% had never been a regular smoker, the median income was $28,000, and 73.4% of those living in cities were employed.

The most common religions held by members of the iwi were Anglican (12.5%), Catholic (9.9%), and Presbyterian, Congregational and Reformed (7.1%). A further 48% had no religion and 6.5% would not specify a religion. By comparison, 3.2% were affiliated with the Ratana movement, and less than 1% were affiliated with the Ringatū religion.

On the night of the Census, 80.6% of people lived in households with only one family, 5.6% lived in households with other families, 9.6% lived in one-person households, and 4.2% lived in flats. On the same night, 55.1 percent of people lived in a two-parent family, 22.8 percent lived in a one-parent family, and 22.0 percent lived as couples without children. There were 1,008 dependent children in the iwi, compared to 939 in 2006. Of these 70.2% of these lived in two-parent families, compared to 66.5 percent in 2006.

Case study: In-depth due diligence to uncover possible fraud in India
Experience/Not All FCPA Allegations Ring True
Not All FCPA Allegations Ring True
Nardello & Co. was engaged by a US multinational to conduct an FCPA investigation into one of its distributors in India following the company's receipt of a series of anonymous corruption allegations.
The whistleblower alleged that the distributor had, among other things, paid bribes to government officials through a middleman to win contracts issued by the state government, and had been involved in fraudulent bid-rigging activities.
At the outset of the investigation we conducted in-depth due diligence on the company and its founder in order to learn more about their modi operandi and reputations in the local market. We then interviewed the founder and other key employees to seek their reaction and response to the allegations. Concurrently, we conducted a review of the distributor's books and records in order to identify any anomalies that may have indicated unexplained payments or bid manipulation.
As a result of this multi-faceted approach, we were able to determine that although there were weaknesses in the company's internal controls, there was no evidence to substantiate the whistleblower allegations. Our inquiries also indicated that the allegations had been made by a competitor whose distribution agreement with our client had recently been terminated.

Epic Recording brings together latin artists under a common cause
13 años atrás Leio
The select group of artists includes Super Stars Luis Fonsi, Gloria Estefan, Placido Domingo, Enrique Iglesias, David Bisbal, Wisin & Yandel, Arthur Hanlon and many more They will lend their voices to record the theme for "Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope"
LOS ANGELES, Nov. /PRNewswire/ — United under a same mission, music super stars, Placido Domingo, Gloria Estefan, David Bisbal, Luis Fonsi, Arthur Hanlon, Wisin & Yandel and Enrique Iglesias amongst other Latin music stars, will become ambassadors of hope through this historic initiative; "Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope."
"The 'Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope' campaign was conceived to create awareness within the Latin community about the importance of bone marrow donation, and thus encourage the community to register with the National Bone Marrow Registry which City of Hope currently promotes.
For the first time, a group of A-list Hispanic musical artists have joined the cause in an effort to launch an unprecedented campaign where they will record an epic song: 'La Gota de la Vida,'" said Salvador Trevino, co-founder of the campaign to benefit City of Hope and Executive Producer of the project.
"We'd like to thank these talented artists for their time, energy and commitment to the recording of 'La Gota de la Vida'," said Scott Loyola, Associate Vice President of Development for City of Hope, top center in the investigation and treatment of cancer in the United States and beneficiary of the project. "Through the support from the artists, recording labels and sponsoring companies, we can help ensure wider outreach to the Latino community and encourage more to join the 'National Bone Marrow Donor Registry' while raising funds for advanced research and treatment at City of Hope."
The large number of singers that are part of the group at this time will converge in Las Vegas this up-coming week of November 3-6 during the Latin Grammy 2009 celebration. Additional recordings will happen in Los Angeles and Miami to record the musical theme written exclusively for City of Hope by pianist and composer Arthur Hanlon.
"The campaign 'Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope' has touched my heart like no other project throughout my career. The campaign's image, a hand holding a drop of life-inspired the music and lyrics of the song. I feel honored to be part of such a noble cause," shared Hanlon.
The first epic recording session, where dozens of artists will unite to deliver their voices for this unprecedented cause, will take place in Las Vegas between November 3rd and 6th. Additional recording sessions will happen in Miami and Los Angeles. Besides the artists confirmed already, the list includes Aleks Syntek, Noel Schrajis, German Montero, Shaila Durcal, and Marcos Witt among others.
During the same dates, the filming of the video clip will take place, led by talented director Simon Brand and produced by Mauricio Osorio from Aluna Films. The video will boost the circulation of the message, which, along with the song, will be spread to the world.
Luis Medina is the Executive Producer of the "Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope" project. Medina is the President of UNO Productions, and two decades ago made history with a similar gathering of artists for a hymn written for UNICEF, known as "Cantare Cantaras."
The list of over 50 luminaries in Latin music included Julio Iglesias, Jose Luis Rodriguez, Vicente Fernandez, Miami Sound Machine and Placido Domingo.
Luis Medina affirms: "I'm positive this epic recording will touch the world much the same way as 'We are the World' and 'Cantare Cantaras' did in their time, two projects which remain in people's hearts forever."
Universal Music Group is the music label that will promote and distribute the song. All earnings generated from its sale will be donated to "Unete Con La Gota de la Vida, Benefiting City of Hope." The song and video will have a special premiere in Los Angeles on February 11th, 2010.
Today, history is about to be written through the historic collaboration of a countless number of Hispanic artists uniting for the first time for this noble cause.

If you could feature any other artist in the world on your album/song who would it be?
Where did your inspiration for Smoke Show come from?
Myself and a few buddies were out and about one evening and we walked into this place…This place had an exceptional amount of beautiful women in it. I looked at my friends and said "welcome to the smoke show." The next day the song "Smoke Show" was born.
Q: How did Lovestruck Robot get its name?
A: I use lovestruck robot as a way of describing my relationship with music. I am the lovestruck robot. Music often controls my emotions, the way I think, the way I act, what mood I'm in etc. turning me into somewhat of a robot, because music takes over.
Q: How would describe your music to someone who has never heard it before?
A: Lovestruck robot is pop music, with heavy R&B and rock influence. R&B rhythms and bass lines with rock guitar riffs and tones. People often expect a description with a comparison of already successful artists. If you took Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Bruno Mars, and Lenny Kravitz and put them in a blender, you would get a Lovestruck Robot smoothie.
Q: Tell us a little bit about your writing process? Do you have any rituals or strange creative methods?
Q: How would you describe the music style LSR is now compared to where you started? Anything you are excited about incorporating now?
A: We were definitely more rock based when we first started with "I wanna be in a Band." Now we are more refined and more on an R&B route. I grew up on old R&B music, so I've always wanted to make that shift, and hone in on the old vintage sound of live horns etc, but yet still keeping it modern and relevant with today's music.
Q: If you could go on tour with any band at the moment who would it be?
Q: What music have you been most influenced by?
A: Old school pop and R&B. Al Green, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Hall & Oates, Billy Ocean…Currently I love Justin Timberlake, the Weeknd, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Maroon 5, Sam Smith, Mayor Hawthorne, and I've always been a big fan of Sting.
Q: What made you first realize you wanted to pursue a career in music?
A: When I was five years old and watched Michael Jackson perform on television.
Q: Do you ever get nervous before performing?
Q: As a musician, how would you describe success?
A: Success to me is living comfortably without financial stress, and being happy. If you do what you love to do for a living, you haven't worked a day in your life. I wouldn't have to be rich. I wouldn't have to be famous.
Q: Who/What is your spirit animal?
Q: If you were a box of cereal, what would you be and why?
A: I would be alien green because I love aliens and am fascinated with space and the idea of other intelligent life forms throughout the universe.
Q: If there was a movie about your life, who would play you and why?
Q: How do you eat your Oreos?

SpaceX reaches International Space Station safely with precious cargo
Last updated on October 10th, 2012 at 1:13 pm by Mihai Andrei
Following what seemed to be a serious problem with one of the engines from the Falcon 9 rocket, the unmanned but highly equipped Dragon capsule successfully latched itself to the International Space Station (ISS). The capsule was capture by astronauts using a robotic arm after what seemed to be a flawless approach – which is really good news, considering that this is only the first in a series of 12 planned missions, which will cost NASA about $1.6 billion.
"Looks like we've tamed the Dragon," station commander Sunita Williams said as the spacecraft was captured by a robotic arm. "We're happy she's onboard with us. Thanks to everyone at SpaceX and NASA for bringing her to us … and the ice cream."
In the almost 500 kg cargo, astronauts also got a rare, last-minute delight: chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream. The ISS crew was of course really thrilled to see the ship (not only because of the ice cream).
"It's nice to see Dragon flying over the U.S.," Williams said during the space rendezvous.
