A Texas billionaire is urging the England and Wales Cricket Board to counter the growing hegemony of Indian cricket by creating a Twenty20 league of their own to surpass the Indian Premier League in organisation, excitement and durability.Allen Stanford, an American wealth-management tycoon who has lived in the West Indies for 26 years, believes that it is both unavoidable and essential that England have their own money-spinning league to compete with the IPL, to end the one-sidedness that is becoming apparent in the game."The ECB realise they’re at a crossroads. They either let the Indians do it or they step up and get a game plan. You want something that will have lasting value for everybody," he said.

If you were going for PhD / MD program, UCSF should be near the top of your list no matter what your home state is.I have no desire to pursue a Ph.D. This doctor said UCSF was a good school but I wouldn't really be taking advantage of its campus if I wasn't going heavily toward research. Between the two schools, she recommended Stanford.Now these are both high in the sky schools and I have no illusions about my chances. I'm still going to apply. I've briefly look

Stanford Law Professor Larry Lessig Bets ‘Wikipedia’ Approach Will Transform Congress Excerpt:"A prominent Stanford law professor on Thursday launched an ambitious project that aims to use collaborative software to harness the extraordinary levels of pent-up political energy and dissatisfaction that voters have shown over the past two years with their members of congress.The Change Congress project's first mission is to diminish the influence of money in the legislative body by influencing the outcome of the 2008 election campaigns of 67 members of congress which are up for grabs. As the Change Congress project founder Larry Lessig noted in the project's launch Thursday afternoon, there haven't been so many seats open up for challenge in more than a decade."

If adigital camera saw the world through thousands of tiny lenses, each a miniature camera unto itself", you’d get a 2-D photo, but you’d also get something potentially more valuable: an electronic “depth map” containing the distance from the camera to every object in the picture, a kind of super 3-D.

Attending Stanford University next year will be a lot more affordable for some undergraduate students.The university said Wednesday it plans to eliminate tuition for students with annual family incomes totaling less than $100,000. It also will pay most room and board for students with families making less than $60,000.Financial aid director Karen Cooper says the move comes as middle-income parents express concern about paying for a Stanford education.Stanford tuition is expected to rise to $36,000 in the fall. Room and board will cost about $11,000. About a third of the university's 6,700 undergraduates are expected to qualify for the tuition break.

Stanford researchers have found a way to use silicon nanowires to produces 10 times the amount of electricity of existing lithium-ion, known as Li-ion, batteries that power laptops, iPods, video cameras, cell phones, and countless other devices. A laptop that now runs on battery for two hours could operate for 20 hours.According to Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering, "It's not a small improvement...It's a revolutionary development."  The breakthrough technology was published online December 16 in Nature Nanotechnology in a paper titled "High-performance lithium battery anodes using silicon nanowires".  The paper is written by Cui, his graduate chemistry student Candace Chan and five others.The 10 fold expanded storage capacity could make Li-ion batteries attractive to electric car manufacturers and be used in homes or offices to store electricity generated by rooftop solar panels.

I don't follow football, college or professional, but when this piece came up in NPR's Story of the Day, I was riveted and had to dig up the video.

In case you have no idea what I'm talking about, here's the scene:November 20, 1982, Berkeley California. Rivals Cal and Stanford face off in the annual Bay Area classic. The lead changed hands several times and in the final two minutes the score was 19-17 Cal. Stanford quarterback John Elway (you know, the one who later led the Denver Broncos to two Superbowl wins) led Stanford on what appeared to be a game-winning drive.With eight seconds left on the clock, Stanford scores a field goal to give them a 20-19 lead. Announcer Joe Starkey said, "Only a miracle can save the Bears."With Stanford already celebrating, the band wanders down on the field. But in an amazing series of five lateral moves, C

Also, I was aware of Michael Landry of Santa Cruz who finished second at Stanford last year, but he did not race yesterday. How did the race go for you? I thought the race went okay.

Another outstanding cross country meet on "the farm" today at Stanford. It was great to see most of the top teams and individuals go head to head or at the very least compete on the same course so we can compare individual and team times. While one meet, in the middle of the season, does not dictate what will happen in November, it's nonetheless a great barometer of where teams stand at the moment.It was also great to meet many coaches and athletes today. Thank you very much for the positive comments about the blog. Please continue to get the word out about the blog so more people can contribute to Cross Country in Northern California. Those of you with team websites, please add this blog to your links.I will have new Norcal Rankings coming out on Monday as I get results from other cross country meets as well.

A comunidade no Orkut da Universidade tem mais de 100 páginas de mensagens… 99,9% é SPAM. A maioria das pessoas que entram são brasileiros que não sabem nem o que é a comunidade, nem pra que é… Tá, e porque você tá nela? Porque é meu sonho estudar na Universidade onde Larry Page, Sergey Brin e Orkut Buyukkokten se formaram… Tudo bem que tem uma série de fatores que impedem esse sonho de ser realizado, por enquanto… Sim, tá.. E o que isso tem a ver comigo? Nada. O que eu queria expor é, que uma Universidade tão boa, tem a sua imagem prejudicada pela quantidade de SPAMs nela… E os dois moderadores (Orkut e Pedram) não fazem absolutamente nada. Deveria ter uma ferramenta de “limpa”… Excluir todas as mensagens com um click. Claro que mesmo que
