Marcella participated in the school's first musical last week entitled "A Small Part of the World." The performming arts teacher here is incredible; I have never attended a performance of hers that did not bring tears to my eyes. The opening song did it here as did the kids singing "Schlaf, Kinderlein, Schlaf." This particular performance was performed soley by the choir and had a few acting parts. The children were learning about the world through song. http://110intheshadethesmithsinsa.blogspot.com/

Can there be a more unfriendly place on earth than this? I don't mean harsh or dangerous as the poles or the desert. I simply mean unenjoyable : -Sand: dusty, dirty sand mixed with dull earth. -rocks -Arid thorned bushes -Litter all over the place (all kind of litter) -A mesh with barbed wire. A what? Why?

ImageNet is an image dataset organized according to the WordNet hierarchy. Each meaningful concept in WordNet, possibly described by multiple words or word phrases, is called a "synonym set" or "synset". There are more than 100,000 synsets in WordNet, majority of them are nouns (80,000+). http://cs.stanford.edu/
Professor Batzoglou's group is interested in algorithms and computational systems for genomics. Some of their recent research projects are: (1) MLAGAN, the first large-scale multiple alignment system. Using MLAGAN, they can align and compare the entire DNA sequences of Human, Mouse, Rat, and other organisms, and discover elements that are evolutionarily constrained such as genes and gene-regulatory sites. (2) ProbCons, a multiple aligner of proteins based on a probabilistic model, and on a new technique that they call "probabilistic consistency" in alignment. Using ProbCons they can align hundreds of protein sequences with significant higher accuracy than was previously possible. (3) ICA-based clustering of genes using microarray data. http://robotics.stanford.edu/projects.html

The University of Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world. There are around 20,000 students at Oxford, including over 7,000 postgraduates. In 2006-07, Oxford won more research income from external sponsors than any other UK university, earning over £248.2 million. The combined value of Oxford’s spin-off companies has reached £2 billion. Oxford was ranked joint second in the world in the Times Higher Education Supplement’s World University Rankings 2007.
From humble beginnings in 1876 as Texas’ first public institution of higher learning, to a bustling 5,000-acre campus with 46,000-plus students and a nationally recognized faculty, Texas A&M University is one of a select few universities with land-grant, sea-grant and space-grant designations. Texas A&M has two branch campuses, one in Galveston, Texas, and another in Qatar. The research-intensive flagship university with 10 colleges was recently ranked first in the nation by The Washington Monthly for “tangible contributions to the public interest.” U.S.
