Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences Scott Furlong offered his political expertise last week for a Fox 11 News story on national attention being paid to the Wisconsin governor's race. President Obama visited Milwaukee on Monday with plans to meet with Democratic candidate Mary Burke, and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is expected to campaign for Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin within the next month. Bringing in other leaders can make candidates more appealing to voters, Furlong said. "It definitely is a way of mobilizing the base, mobilizing excitement in a campaign and that excitement can translate into people going to the polls later on," he said. Full story.

From the Editors of Annals of Internal Medicine and Education Guest Editor, Gretchen Diemer, MD, FACP, Associate Dean of Graduate Medical Education and Affiliations, Thomas Jefferson University.
Listen to an audio recording of the essay, read by Dr. Michael LaCombe.
Ask your learners how often they have felt emotionally exhausted by their work as physicians.
In his essay, Dr. Muller says he and his resident were reluctant to accept help with their overwhelming medical service when it was offered, "…out of a sense of duty to our patients, but we were probably also ashamed of looking like the weak link on our unit". Do your learners believe they would ask for help if they needed it or accept it if it was offered? Why is refusing to do so dangerous for our patients and ourselves?
How can we support each other? How can we prevent ourselves from hitting "rock bottom"? What should your learners do if they suspect a colleague is in trouble or if they are having trouble themselves?
Start a teaching session with a multiple-choice question. We've provided one below!
Ask your learners what acute diagnostic tests and interventions they should initiate immediately upon recognition of possible stroke. How should blood pressure be managed? Should they give aspirin immediately or wait? Use the information in DynaMed Plus: Stroke (acute management) , a benefit of your ACP membership.
Which patients with an acute stroke should receive intravenous thrombolytic therapy? How is it given? In whom is such treatment contraindicated?
When should intra-arterial mechanical thrombectomy, such as that used in this trial, be considered? Invite a neurologist to join your discussion. What are the roles of the internist, ER physician, neurologist, and interventional radiologists at your medical center in the management of patients with acute stroke? How might your learners' roles in the management of patients with acute stroke change in other practice settings?
Have your learners generate a list of causes to consider for acute pancreatitis. What studies should be considered in the evaluation? When should a CT or MRI scan be obtained, and why? When should ERCP be considered? Use DynaMed Plus: Acute pancreatitis to help prepare a teaching session.
What is the rationale for avoiding oral nutrition in patients with acute pancreatitis? What are the benefits to the gut of feeding patients with pancreatitis? The authors note these in the paper's introduction. How do your learners decide when to initiate nutritional support in patients with acute pancreatitis?
How do your learners write dietary orders for patients with acute pancreatitis? Are patients fed by mouth or by nasogastric or nasojejunal tubes? Should parenteral nutrition be considered? How do they decide? Invite an expert in pancreatitis and/or a member of your institution's nutritional support team to join your discussion.
What are the strengths and weaknesses of this systematic review? Use the accompanying editorial to help frame your discussion.
Take a break with your learners and watch the short video together.
Ask your learners what differential diagnoses must be considered in patients who have had a syncopal event.
What testing should be ordered? Does everyone need an echocardiogram?
Sign on to answer the multiple-choice questions and earn CME credit for yourself!
Ask your learners why scientists might want to avoid engaging in political discussions. Are there discussions the scientific community should refrain from engaging in? How might a desire to "remain above the fray" create problems for science?
Do your learners think physicians should be involved in the public debate over issues such as climate change?
What is the "politicization of science"? The authors of the second paper offer a definition. Do your learners agree with the authors' opinions?
If physicians are to speak up about issues such as climate change or health insurance, how should they do so? What are the risks of speaking up? What are the risks of not speaking up?
Ask your learners what they think Dr. Al-Shamsi should have done. What would they have done if they were in that situation?
Have your learners ever faced a situation where a patient's religious beliefs were in opposition to what your learners thought was the right thing to do? How did they handle it?
How should we handle such situations when the patient cannot speak coherently for himself or herself? Is it the physician's job to determine whether a surrogate decision maker is expressing what the patient would say? What if the physician disagrees or thinks the surrogate is not saying what the patient would want for himself or herself? How do our own beliefs and values influence whether we believe the surrogate is expressing what the patient would say?
How should a physician's concern for her or his own safety influence how a patient is treated?

Part 1: Solutions to compress AVI files
One idea is to compress old and AVI files with some standard compression utilities like pkzip or files. Rar. However, the result is less satisfactory, let's try something new.
Solution 1:
Turn your old file to new AVI files AVI files or other formats such as MP4, MKV, M4V. With the new decoding and encoding, will convert to a smaller comparatively.
Solution 2:
Compresses your AVI file editing it:
1) split AVI files: deletes parts nonsense and just keep the parts that you want.
2) cut the AVI video according to your taste.
Solution 3:
Reset the parameters: you can reduce the frame rate, bit rate, resolution, and to lower the size greatly.
Luckily, this video converter ultimate (compatible with Windows 8) all in one can perform all the functions mentioned above. You can convert your original AVI file virtually any other format with great compatibility. With its batch conversion capabilities and built-in tools, you can compress AVI files without a hitch. Below instructions for Windows. (For Mac users, you can download the compressor AVI for Mac here.)
Part 2: A step by step guide to compress AVI files
Preparation : Download and Video Converter and install it. Two versions (Mac version and Windows version (compatible with Windows 8), share the same functions) and here we take the version of windows as an example.
Step 1: Load your AVI files in this compressed AVI
Installs and starts the compressor AVI, drag and drop AVI files in the main interface or go to the Menu bar and choose "Convert" -> "Add Files" to load your AVI files. You can add a couple of AVI and make batch conversion to save valuable time.
Step 2: Compress your AVI files trimming (Optional)
Dividing Compress AVI files: Go to Edit-> Trim. And a window. Drag the slider to move it forward and backward. When you reach the correct position, click the scissor button to split your original video and ready. Then click OK to return to the main interface.
Compress AVI files by reducing its duration: Go to "Edit" in the menu bar of each video and then choose "Crop" from his down edit menu.
Step 3: Select the output format
Click the icon in the panel format "Output Format" to open the drop-down list and choose AVI or MKV, MP4, M4V, FLV, etc.. "Format"> "Video"
Go to the gear type button "Settings" to place parameters for both audio and video, including resolution, frame rate, encoder, transfer rates, etc.. This way you can reduce the size of your AVI lots.
Step 4: Start to compress AVI files now
Click "Convert" and let this fabulous drive (compatible with Windows 8) do the rest for you. If you do not want to be waiting for the conversion process, you can let it run in the background. That's it. Excellent job!

Be A Better Bookkeeper
Being a bookkeeper or office manager for a construction business is one tough chore! There are thousands of little things that you have to keep track of and manage on a daily basis and there is always something "special" that your boss needs you to keep track of. Who has time to pick and poke around QuickBooks to see if you can automate a task? As a result, we all end up, at one point or another, resorting to a trusty Excel spreadsheet track something special. The result – fragmented data or information all over the place. These tips will help you to handle specific tasks.
Entering Historical Paychecks – Payroll Taxes and the Accounts They Post To
Setting up QuickBooks payroll and entering historical data can be quite confusing. Thankfully, there is a built in Payroll Setup Wizard that will help you through the rough spots; like creating payroll tax items and accounts and entering historical payroll data.
Still there are choices to make. Will you be processing future payrolls through QuickBooks - if so you'll need a payroll subscription. If you use an outside payroll service and just want to get that payroll data into your company file - then turning on manual payroll might be the way to go.
When it comes to entering historical data, there are a couple of ways to do it. But the method you choose should be based on how valuable job-costed payroll is.Continue reading

Job Costing Payroll When Using a Payroll Service
Using an outside payroll service, such as Paychecx or ADP, is a popular option for many business owners. While using a payroll service often provides many benefits one of the biggest challenges or drawbacks is for the company that needs job costing. See this question submitted by a reader.
My company uses a 3rd party to do all of our payroll. We receive an itemized report back showing what we spent for the week. I am having trouble trying to get this information charged out to individual jobs. I track all of the hours separately in Excel, with estimated costs. How can I job cost this information?Continue reading
QuickBooks 2013 – Group Item Limit Increase
I'm a big fan of QuickBooks Group Items, I think that they are a HUGE productivity booster – but I've always had one gripe – they could only hold 20 items in previous versions of QuickBooks – which meant that you had to create more group items in order to accomplish what you set out to do. This has changed with the release of QuickBooks 2013. With the increased number of items that a group can hold, these item types will be even more powerful.
I often see users on the Intuit QuickBooks User forums asking how they can "memorize" an Estimate to use over and over again – why not create a group item that contains everything that you need to build your estimate?
NOTE: This increase will continue into future versions of QuickBooks from this point forward.Continue reading

Breaking Down Payroll by Job, Phase and Cost Code
Breaking down payroll by job, phase, and cost code is something that I'm often asked about by the construction clients/customers that I work with.

An IRS Audit..and They Require Copies of Canceled Checks
Perhaps you haven't received your canceled checks back from your bank in years, or perhaps your bank has even stopped providing you with printed images of those checks with your bank statement, like mine has - and I must confess I can't even remember when they stopped doing that with our business account - but I do know that it's been several years.
So what happens when during an IRS Audit you are asked to produce cancelled checks to substantiate the payment of an expense?Continue reading

Not shocking news, but apparently it hadn't been put on the record yet, and some folks were wondering if NBA Jam for the Wii would have online multiplayer support over the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection. Answer: No.
EA Sports Vancouver confirmed it today, but I swear I'd heard it before. Maybe it's because of the Wi-Fi connection's poor reputation for this sort of thing that I assumed it wouldn't be supported. NHL Slapshot, the Wii hockey title also made by EA Vancouver, also does not have online multiplayer. That said, EA Sports' current Wii versions of Madden NFL, FIFA, Tiger Woods PGA Tour and last year's Grand Slam Tennis do.
Online multiplayer is absolutely a feature of the NBA Jam version that comes free with a one-use download code in retail copies of NBA Elite 11 on the PS3 and Xbox 360. However, that version will not have the Remix Tour, which supplies boss battles and unique challenges in single and - local - cooperative multiplayer modes.
All versions of the game will use the same lineup of players, secret characters, and NBA Legends.

Have you ever looked into the glassy eyes of a pet goldfish in a bowl and wondered what's going on in that little critter's noggin? Wonder no more. Scientists have for the first time captured a fish thought in action as it sparks through the brain, according to a new study published online Thursday in the journal Current Biology.
A team of Japanese scientists, using an ultra-sensitive technique that could become a handy tool in studies of perception, watched a zebrafish's brain light up as it watched a tasty-looking paramecium swim around it.
Zebrafish are transparent while they're still larvae, making them excellent test subjects – you can see what's going on inside their bodies, and in their brains. Still, such activity can be challenging to track.
To do so, the researchers honed a technique that uses genetically modified fish whose brains fluoresce in certain parts wherever calcium ions – which help deliver signals in the brain – crop up. They set loose a tasty little paramecium – single-celled critters that make good baby food for zebrafish – and watched the fish's brain light up in a region known as the optic tectum, which contains neurons linked to the visual system.
When the paramecium swam to the right, the zebrafish brain's left hemisphere lighted up. When it swam over to the left, the right hemisphere lighted up. This makes sense, given that in vertebrate animals the brain-body connection is crisscrossed: The right side of the body is connected to the left side of the brain, and the left to the right.
The researchers were able to see the brain work in remarkable detail. In one test during the study, they had the zebrafish watch a screen with a moving dot, and saw individual neurons light up in response to particular directions – up, down, left or right.
And the researchers found that the zebrafish brain only lighted up when the paramecium was moving; when it was still, the optical tectum remained dark.
They also found that when a zebrafish tried to chase the paramecium down, a more frontal part of the tectum started sparkling. That part of the tectum, the researchers surmised, must be linked to "eye convergence" – when both eyes move inward to focus on prey – as well as approach swimming.
"Our system should enable real-time imaging of genetically tagged neurons in the brain that may control behavior and locomotion," the authors write.
This method could help scientists interpret animals' behaviors, and find exactly where aspects of cognition like learning, memory and different emotions are based in the brain, according to the authors. And it could even help researchers quickly figure out if a drug they're testing is effective or not.

Stephenson's debut dystopian thriller trails the lives of people in 2027 America, crippled by war, natural disasters, a crumbling economy and the threat of nuclear destruction.
Times are bleak for America in the near future. It's suffering through the Second Great Depression; Florida has been devastated by Hurricane Luther; and having toppled countries, Iran has become a superpower. In fact, the U.S. joined the European Army to form the Allied Forces in a war against the Great Empire of Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian terrorists carry out attacks on American soil, riots are becoming more common and another hurricane is making its way to Texas. In light of all this, President Malcolm Powers must decide whether to protect his nation or save the world. Despite its global setting, Stephenson's novel stays sharp by honing in on specific characters: billionaire genius Howard Beck, a recluse tucked away in his "fortress" with his artificial intelligence, Hal; California inmate Richard Dupree; Santa Fe, Texas, Police Chief Maxwell Harris; and President Powers. Each third-person narrative offers an account of the action, as Richard looks for escape from the lethal clouds of smoke from raging wildfires, Max and other cops encounter gunmen as the storm nears, and the president seeks counsel on the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. He learns that even the White House may not be safe from rioters. Beck's involvement in the plot is drolly ironic: He has completely isolated himself from the outside world—Hal feeds him news stories to keep him up-to-date—but his heavily fortified estate makes it an ideal spot for powerful people. Stephenson's novel, the first of a series, feels like a buildup to a confrontation that doesn't happen here. In the same vein, supporting characters—including an unemployed investment banker who joins the military when his family becomes homeless and a Jiffy Lube manager–turned–survivalist leader—provide riveting subplots that, at least in this book, remain unresolved. But Stephenson knows how to sear images into the brain, such as the destitute living in Central Park in "Obama-Camp" ("a throwback to the 'Hoovervilles' built during the First Great Depression") and frightened citizens wearing bulletproof vests in church.
A disturbing vision of a future America, with an impact boosted by the startling authenticity of individual perspectives.

Feasts at Bube's Brewery are hosted in the Catacombs, the 19th century lagering cellars beneath our historic brewery. The atmosphere is unique, warm, dry, and candlelit comfortable. In addition to our fine dining experience that we offer nightly in the Catacombs, we have developed a special dinner inspired by this distinctive atmosphere with live actors and musicians called the Feast. The concept began with our desire to take our storybook environment to another level. The Medieval Feast is meant to capture the fun and festivity of a feast in medieval times. The Pirate Feast is meant to conjure the feeling of being at a lively meeting of pirate captains and crews. At the Roman Feast you and your guests are presumed to be special guests of Julius Caesar before meeting at the Roman senate the next day. and if the event inspires the group to come back, we are pleased to host another type of feast for variety. The core idea of our feast is for a group to have a lively fun time together. The food is very good, the staff is professional, but the essence of this offering is to have a memorable, often amusing time with each other. We are happy to be informed if anyone in the group should be distinguished in any way. Anyone celebrating a nearby birthday, anniversary, promotion, impending retirement, imminent parenthood, or even something frivolous is properly toasted and those with a good sense of humor may be engaged further if it is abundantly obvious that they would enjoy the attention. We also like to make a traditional toast in the native tongue of any international visitors. CALL 717-653-2056 FOR FEAST TICKETS DAILY (FROM 11:00AM to 5:00PM)
Private Feasts may be booked for your business group, family or other private events. The dinner includes an appetizer course, a pitcher of wine, beer, or soda for every two people, freshly baked loaves of bread, a salad course, a main course of beef and your choice of chicken or pork with vegetables, starch, and a savory sauce, and dessert is served at the conclusion. We are happy to customize the menu if you so desire. You have the option of including any extra drinks on the bill or having the guests pay for them on a cash bar basis.
We are happy to answer any questions, give you more details, or customize this event to your group.
**From time to time, radio stations and clipper magazine offer special promotions for feasts. These discount offers are valid based on availability for each event. If you are using a promotion, book early as discount seating is limited and is subject to availability. Please allow 48 hours for promotion validation**
For public or private feast tickets please call 717-653-2056 (7 days a week between 11:00AM and 4:00PM) Thank you!
We do ask that ALL participants of the Feasts are 21 years of age or older. (with the exception of the Family Friendly Pirate Feast)

- The Christmas Feast –Santa is retiring, and has chosen his oldest son, Kris Kringle Jr. to replace him. Santa's other children are all nervous and excited for their half brother, but the elves know that change is on the way. Some elfin axes may be grinding, and who knows what the new adjustments will be. There is one thing for sure: This is not a Christmas dinner for children who still believe.

Spatial Planning Skills | Interior Design at Miami Arts Design
The primary focus of interior design studies at MADE is a practical and theoretical grasp of spatial design. Spatial design is the study of environmental factors that facilitate human experience. The principles of spatial design link physical properties of architecture to human psychology and behavior. It is a top-down creative process, beginning with a definition of the ethical and cultural outcome of a place then working inwards towards the architectural skeleton that will support that outcome. The process involves visualizing the flow and function of people within a space and predicting potential challenges.
Concepts of spatial design are reinforced throughout the Interior Design program at MADE, giving students a platform from which to hone their personal vision and mission as designers. Students will discover how to apply the design elements to their spatial planning and design concepts, considering different furniture layouts to suit the intended function of the space. Through designing spaces that enhance social, professional and personal experiences, interior designers make a lasting impact on our society.
