Our expertise in providing voice, video, IM, presence, and call center solutions and training will prepare you to deploy collaboration systems and services that increase user productivity improve the experience for you customers and are adaptable and provide a seamless user experience.
There are no formal prerequisites for CCIE certification. Other professional certifications or training courses are not required. Instead, candidates must first pass a written qualification exam and then the corresponding hands-on lab exam. You are expected to have an in-depth understanding of the topics on the exams and strongly encouraged to have three to five years of job experience before attempting certification.
You must pass the two-hour, written qualification exam covering those technologies and applications that comprise a Cisco Enterprise Collaboration solution before you are eligible to schedule the lab exam.
The eight-hour lab exam tests your ability to configure actual equipment and troubleshoot the network in a timed test situation. You must make an initial attempt at the CCIE lab exam within 18-months of passing the CCIE written exam. Candidates who do not pass must reattempt the lab exam within 12 months of their last scored attempt in order for their written exam to remain valid. If you do not pass the lab exam within three years of passing the written exam, you must retake the written exam before being allowed to attempt the lab exam again.
Get all your CCIE Collaboration questions answered.
To earn this Cisco certification, you must pass the following exam(s):
Last date to test: February 23, 2020
The exam will include topics such as Virtualization in UC Solutions, IPv6, ILS/URI Dialing, SAF/CCD, Medianet, and Cisco Jabber

CCIEs Are Required to Recertify Every Two Years.
Active CCIE status shows your commitment to maintaining expert-level knowledge in an industry critical to the success of virtually every organization. CCIEs are encouraged to continually expand their technical knowledge and are required to pass a recertification exam every two years. If you do not complete your recertification before the deadlines, your CCIE certification will be suspended and you and your employer will lose the benefits associated with your expert status. You have one year to reinstate your CCIE status before you become inactive and must begin the certification process all over again.
Cisco offers an alternative method of recertification for expert-level certification holders. In addition to the existing option of passing relevant exams, candidates can choose to recertify by earning credits through the Continuing Education Program.

An effective juvenile justice system that meets the twin goals of public safety and providing youth with opportunities to have a crime-free life will minimize the inappropriate pre-trial detention of youth. While youth with serious delinquency histories or young people who are arrested for the most violent crimes need to be detained to keep the community safe, the vast majority of youth in a detention center are awaiting trial for non-violent acts, and many should not be held in locked custody.

The small, but quaint suburban town of Lutz is just north of metropolitan Tampa, and though it's quiet and family friendly, it still maintains its doggo friendly atmosphere. Some of the shelters in the area that keep the community pup-happy are the Humane Society of Tampa and the SPCA of Tampa Bay.
SPCA Tampa Bay is a popular organization and one of the only non-profit, open-admission animal shelters in the Hillsborough and Pinellas County areas. Not only do they take care of pawesome pups, they also help look after exotic animals, livestock, pocket pets, and injured wildlife, too! It's one of the only available shelters in the area with no time limit for an animal's stay. This organization cares for about 8,000 animals annually.
One of the largest and most well known shelters that cover the area is the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. This non-profit, no-kill shelter has been helping pups and other animals for over 100 years. They shelter animals, help foster them out, find them forever homes, and have even built animal hospitals to keep their pups safe and healthy.

This 1998 BMW M3 coupe is finished in Alpine White over Magma leather. Power comes from a 3.2-liter S52 inline-six and the power is directed to the rear wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller acquired the car 6.5 years ago and has added about 17k miles during his ownership. Modifications includes various Dinan upgrades including an ECU tune and exhaust. This E36 M3 shows 149,981 miles and is sold with a clean Maryland title in the seller's name.
How original is the car?
Seller: Modifications include the Dinan parts installed in 2000. The car has the Dinan ECU software upgrade, the High Flow Cold Air Intake System, the High Flow Throttle Body, the High Flow Air-Flow-Meter, and the Free Flow Exhaust. Also, in 2007, the rear trailing arm bushings were replaced with Powerflex polyurethane bushings. In 2013, the rear shock mounts were replaced. The original BMW cassette deck has been replaced with an Alpine CDA-9884 head unit.
What do you know about the history of the car from new?
The car was originally purchased from a dealer in Florida and was located in southwest Florida until January 2007. When purchased, the vehicle was equipped with the optional power sunroof, power seats, cruise control, on board computer, and 17" LTW wheels. The BMW keyless entry and alarm were installed as a dealer option. The first owner had the Dinan parts installed in July 2000 by Reeves Import Motorcars of Tampa, Florida. The second owner was a certified BMW mechanic who moved the car to Greenville, SC in January 2007. The car was then purchased by the third owner in July 2007. The vehicle had an accident in August 2008 involving a front end impact with another vehicle. The Carfax report shows that the vehicle was functional after the accident and that no airbags deployed. The car was sold to the fourth owner in Virginia in January 2012. Later, the fourth owner registered the vehicle in Maryland. The car was only daily driven in Virginia/Maryland for two very mild winters in 2012 and 2013. Otherwise it has been garaged.
Has there been any paintwork or bodywork? Any rust?
Yes, both paintwork and bodywork. After the accident in 2008, the front end of the vehicle was repaired and repainted. The repairs can be seen when the hood is opened. No rust at all.
How extensive are service records?
Some service records are available, mostly from the last six years. The front struts were changed at 130,000 miles in 2012 and the rear shocks were replaced at 143,000 miles in 2013, although the records for these are not available. Other major service includes the VANOS oil line being replaced at 135,000 miles in 2012. Also, the original BMW window sticker from 1998 and the brochure and receipt from Reeves Import Motorcars for the Dinan parts that were installed in 2000. Also included is the original BMW brochure from the M-Series of cars from 1998. As well as the BMW Accessory Catalog from 1998. A Bentley Publishing Service Manual is included as well. The last service was performed in November 2013. At the time, the vehicle had 145,125 miles on it. The service that was performed was an oil and filter change, a power steering fluid flush, and a brake fluid flush. Also, to give to the buyer, I have a box from Pelican Parts with six new Bosch Platinum spark plugs, a new water pump with metal impeller, a new thermostat and thermostat housing. These are parts I purchased with the intention of installing, but never got around to it.
What issues or problems does it currently have?
There are a few known issues. Both front power seats have one of the gears broken inside the little gearbox under the seat. The driver's seat does not move up and down and the passenger seat back does not lean forward or back. In both seats, the motors themselves turn without any issues, but the little plastic gears inside the gearbox are likely stripped. Also, the driver's window regulator does not always properly lift the window when the door is closed, leaving a ¼ inch gap in the window when the door is closed. This regulator likely needs to be replaced. The glove box door sags some. Additionally, the vehicle needs an oil change due to mileage and age of the oil. It's highly advisable that the next owner change the spark plugs and also flush and refresh the coolant system. The car is not leaking any fluids. These are all common issues with these cars. The rear tires have approximately 4/32 of tread left. The front tires have significantly more tread. They are BF Goodrich g-Force Sport All-Season tires. One of the rear speakers is blown.
What makes this M3 special?
It has the somewhat unusual DINAN performance parts. These performance parts are developed for specific BMW models and installed at authorized dealers. Installed DINAN parts come with a warranty equal to the BMW factory warranty. Also, the LTW wheels are generally the most desirable wheels for the E36 M3 because they were the lightest of all the styles available.

Mad Scientists for Life
According to Half Sigma, abortion will kill the future of the Republican Party. I doubt that very much. The debate is likely to become moot first, not because the anti-anti-abortion side will have a permanent victory but because it will be obsolete. Consider the following possibilities:
- Infallible contraception. There is reason to believe every menstrual period increases the chances of breast cancer. This provides a sound reason to turn menstruation and ovulation off unless one is trying to get pregnant. This will eliminate the vast majority of abortions. This will even eliminate the possibly mythical "nice girl who didn't use the pill because only tramps use it."
- RU-Pentium. This will stop cell division in the fetus temporarily. It can be used by women who want their children but at a later date. An alternate means would be placing the fetuses in cryonic suspension.
- Raising the age of puberty. If a pair of "up-tight" parents don't want their kids fooling around in a society where adolescent pregnancy is impossible, they don't have to surrender to the liberal fundamentalists. They can raise the age of puberty back to what it was in the Victorian era. (I suspect it was the drop in the age of puberty that set off the "sexual revolution.")
- Genetic engineering. If a fetus has a genetic defect, it need not be aborted, it will be possible to inject the genes in utero. Even exposure to a teratogen could be remedied by fetal surgery.
- Artificial wombs. The remaining unwanted children could always be placed in artificial wombs and adopted later. An alternate method is to transplant them into the bodies of pro-life volunteers.
- Technical progress in general. We can expect increased resources and increased efficiency in using resources to get rid of the tendency to take Malthus seriously.
I want to form an organization to be called "Mad Scientists For Life."

How genius is swapping the bread for cauliflower?!
This low-carb cauliflower stuffing proves that you don't necessarily need bread to make an amazing stuffing. (Still, we'll always stand by our classic stuffing.) However, if the group your feeding on Thanksgiving Day is gluten-free or following a low-carb special diet, this is the only stuffing recipe you'll need. Plus, it's assembled entirely on the stovetop, which bodes extremely well for your oven space (more time for turkey and pie!).
Don't skimp on the butter.
From a flavor perspective, if you're going low-carb, you just can't go low fat-too. A generous amount of butter—four tablespoons—is essential when it comes to keeping stuffing rich and tender. Fat is great! Don't skip it. If you're vegan or dairy-free, use coconut oil or your favorite brand of vegan butter instead.
Build your base.
Like any classic stuffing, this recipe starts with sautéing your mirepoix—onion, celery, and carrot—which, when mixed with herbs like rosemary and sage, makes everything taste like Thanksgiving. Once the mirepoix cooks down, add cauliflower and mushrooms, which add some depth to the dish. It's still totally vegetarian, but cauliflower and mushrooms add a depth of flavor and texture that will keep everyone interested.
Add a lot of fresh herbs.
Cauliflower is basically a sponge: it'll soak up the flavor of whatever you cook it with, so we recommend going heavy on the herbs. Here, we did a mix of fresh parsley, rosemary, and sage. You can use dried herbs if you already have them on hand (use half the amount of dried as called for fresh in the recipe), but really, nothing beats the flavor of fresh, and a bunch of herbs typically doesn't cost more than a few bucks.
Simmer it.
Pouring over some broth (low-sodium vegetable or chicken) helps the vegetables cook gently oven low heat. If you like stuffing with a crispy top, broil the casserole for 2-5 minutes after it's finished cooking on the stove.

large carrots, peeled and chopped

small head cauliflower, chopped
(8-oz.) package baby bella mushrooms, chopped

By the time you guys read this, you should have one foot solidly planted into 2019. What are your resolutions? Do you want to build up your Rods further or do you want to kick ass on the track like I want to?
What do I mean by DUIA? I will delve into that while reminding you that the opinions in this column are of this writer only. For the past couple of years now I have been trying to keep you GearHeads up-to-date on this regime change in the car world. All I can do is touch the surface as there is far too much information to relay.
Consider the racing cars… They are coming up on us all – and fast! So this electrified Volkswagen goes to Pikes Peak and wins its class hands down. It makes the run up the mountain in under 8 seconds. This just happens to be the all-time record for any kind of vehicle ever attempting this. Guys, this really is the canary in the coal mine for all of us internal combustion aficionados!
Next thing coming down the pipeline is crate motors. I will say that it is looking to me like we will soon see over-the-counter crate motors that are plug-and-play. You will be able to bolt electric motors into your muscle car and everything will fit! It's a brave New world folks and it's coming at warp speed, like it or not.
Of course, news of the MuskFather is never-ending. Elon Musk has been keeping very busy working at his factory, defending himself against financial claims, building rocket ships and he just unveiled a tunnel he built underneath LA that can zip people back and forth at warp speed. I mean – if you have ever driven in LA…?
Then there is the upstart named Rivian who is coming out with EV pickup trucks. Oh yes and remember the GM plants that could be closing down? Well, I said there were some labor issues and this and that and the other. Now we have the MuskFather making noises like he might want to buy one of them! Alrighty then – let us see what the Big GM has to say about that!
And we have mentioned Waymo before. They have been logging a lot of miles in Chandler Arizona preparing to launch their driverless taxi service. however they have been receiving a lot of backlash from the populace it seems.
It seems the natives are not so happy with the many things that have been happening with these AVs. There are the crashes, the burnings, the death and destruction of people, animals and property coming from these cars running into other cars, bicycles, pedestrians, trees, bushes and a long list of other.
If you are to ask the corporate wonks they will simply answer that it is just so much collateral damage like the bycatch from the factory trawler who throws back the wrong species, some of them dying. These are necessary casualties in order to develop the technology.
Well, the regular folks don't appear to agree with this and they have responded with attacks and burnings, pulling guns, vandalizing, tomfoolery and more. AutoBlog reports on Douglas Rushkoff, who is an official in the middle of all that, down there. He sez this, "… there is a growing sense that the giant corporations may not have our best interests at heart." Listening to this kind of stuff, sometimes I will get all pragmatic. Then I come up with something like Driving Under the Influence of Autonomosity.
As these vehicles which are obviously impaired continue to wreak death and destruction across our highways, should they not be subject to the same penalties as our DUII laws? Is this not impaired driving? On behalf of all of the hapless drivers out there who went down the other road, wouldn't it be fair for all those guilty of Impaired Autonomosity suffer the exact same consequences. Oh, and there is a long, long list of punishments. Lawd don't make me go there! Mebbe another time.
So if we are to use Uncle Sam's logic, we need to get out there and catch them before there is the slightest of chances that they will go out and cause harm. Punish the masses for the sins of the few? After all, if one life can be saved by wrecking the lives of thousands of drivers – its all good. Right? I mean this will allow Uncle Sam to continue his double taxation one driver at a time. Fill those coffers much fuller. Cuz, lawd knows, Guv'ment needs all the dollars they can get from us in these days and times … Yup, there I go being pragmatic about things.
'nuff said,
Chuck Fasst #GearHeadsWorld

fuuuuuuuuck yes. i feel like this is the year i fully embrace my victorian goth fashion sensibilities. (r.i.p. penny dreadful)
two more pieces of fashion bullshittery that i also bought because hahaha credit card debt, what credit card debt:
fig. 1 because i've wanted a slightly gothy fringed kimono robe for ages now (and that one is absolutely perfect), and fig. 2 because i've had my eye on that vest on ebay for many months and its stock was starting to get pretty low (plus when a lip service piece is gone, it's a 95% chance it's gone forever, because they rarely do second runs). nothing spurs me to buy a thing faster than the words "only a few left" or "limited time" or "soon to be discontinued". gimme gimme.
okay so enough with my attempts at ~fashun~ (i am a grown-ass adult still dressing like she did when she was 20) - i read not one but two thinkpieces lately, and they sort of connected, and i wanted to write about how they both punched me square in the emotions.
first up:
For a reformed nü-metal fan, #ChicagoOpenAir is a weekend of exhausting excess https://t.co/7M0C8W12wP pic.twitter.com/abhl5wULVc— The A.V. Club (@TheAVClub) July 19, 2017
this was one of those "oh god, i could have written this" pieces, where you relate so hard to the author that you find yourself vigorously nodding as you read. like the author, i too was a disaffected white suburban teenage nu-metal fan in the late nineties/early 00's. it's at the point now where i can totally admit and not even be ashamed of it. (i mean, for fuck's sake, i got a rammstein tattoo, and not, like, thirteen years ago. three weeks ago.) (they're not really nu-metal, though.) (i will fight you on this.)
but the author outlines the internal dilemma very well, or at least in a way that i also understand: it's hard to go back to your youth and recapture the deep love you once had for those songs back when they spoke to you as an angry teenager. or, as one comment succinctly put it, "It filled a need, one that becomes less needy in that specific way and can be filled by other things, but anything that carries that kind of weight in your teen years retains some power." holy shit, yep.
still, there's a real hit of nostalgia when you hear the songs that "made feeling weird, alone, and different cool" (i felt this a lot at rockfest for sure), and for many of us in the late 90's/early 00's, that was the much-maligned nu-metal genre. i cackled when the article specifically namechecked godsmack's "whatever" and korn's "falling away from me", because i actually just listened to both those songs a bunch of times, like, only a week ago.
here's a great quote from the piece:
It would be pure romanticism to say that nü-metal — that maligned late-'90s subgenre of dreadlocked style, down-tuned guitars, and hip-hop beats — provided a real sense of belonging to a scrawny, shy kid like myself. The irony is that the very aggression that drew me to the music often repelled me; I could sing (and head-bang) along to the tough-guy posturing, and I could enjoy an entire lawn being ruined in tribute to a rock star, but I could never really get in touch with my inner Fred Durst.
i didn't fit into that mold either, but it was because i was a girl. though damn if i didn't try, as i had been trying for most of my young life at that point.
i'd always wanted to like the things that boys traditionally liked, because back in the 90's, there was no internet to connect us and spread the interests, so it really did seem like there was a line between traditional "girl things" and "boy things". and for me, a chippy tomboy who wanted to seem tougher than she was, that meant really digging stuff like comic books, hockey cards, and video games. (as a side note here, this also wholly explains how i first got into pro wrestling when i was 15. it was still something that far more boys liked than girls, and like i said, we didn't have the internet to connect us then, so i thoroughly enjoyed being an anomaly)
so when it came to putting out intimidating airs, being a girl who was vaguely into goth and nu-metal and violence was it. i wanted some armour against the world, and i wanted something that made me interesting. and to a point, i'm still equipping that armour today - maybe more than i have in past years. but it's because i'm alone out here, and while it may put me on the defensive, it also gives me a lot of freedom to define myself as i want.
speaking of that, it's a good segue into the second thinkpiece:
Lorde is the celebrity avatar of pop culture's witch obsession: https://t.co/TbDuucHBfX pic.twitter.com/1JN7hpKTgK— Vox (@voxdotcom) June 19, 2017
this piece - the link to which i've been sitting on for a while, sorry about that - examines the current "witch" trend in feminism and pop culture, as exemplified by singers like lorde and lana del rey. the article spins it off further to examine the idea of the witch aesthetic, how it's changing and how it's being applied to so many areas of feminism:
Witch aesthetics also have more flexibility than weaponized femininity does. You don't need to go high femme to get witch vibes. You don't even really need to go goth: Almost any aesthetic can be turned into a witch aesthetic if you try hard enough.
as someone who's suuuuuper into the witch aesthetic right now (see, uh, the clothing i just bought at the top of this post), this is incredibly relevant to my everyday life. (and i'd argue you don't even have to try that hard to witch-ify an aesthetic!) yet it also hit on the idea of "weaponized femininity" which stuck one bazillion chords with me:
The idea of weaponized femininity is that girls can take all the things the patriarchy throws at them — all the limitations and boundaries inscribed on their bodies and their ways of being, all the things the patriarchy uses to hurt women and girls — and turn them into things that hurt other people.
(When you grow up idolizing female video game characters, "weaponized femininity" becomes your raison d'être.)— Caitlin H. (@criseyde) May 4, 2017
as i went on to briefly explain on twitter, i'd always chosen video game girls as my heroes when i was a kid, especially since i thrived on the fighting-game genre. there was just something otherworldly and awesome about the sight of a pixellated female character laying the beat down on her opponents - male or female - and it was that idea of strength that resonated with me, hard.
it wasn't that i was bloodthirsty or loved violence (...or was it??), but i do think i was born with a lot of rage that only got stronger as i realized the limitations the world set on me simply because i was a girl. i used to attribute it to my tomboy side, but as i get older i think i've come to realize that it's just the way i made myself. i figured out what kind of persona i need to project to survive in this world, and it was the kind that weaponizes femininity to a full extent.
i'm rough and intense and weird and full of sharp edges. i listen to loud angry music and i scream at pro wrestling and i wear things made out of black leather and spikes and i have a foul mouth and i got metal barbells punched through my nipples. i'm a nice girl, but i don't want you to know that, because the world takes advantage of nice girls, and i'd rather keep my defenses up so that doesn't happen to me.
(that's not to discount those who subscribe to weaponized femininity while wearing floral sundresses and lipstick. for sure you count, too! just that this is my only experience, and my story is the only one i know how to tell.)
at differing points in my life, my mother has both told me "i don't know why you need to be so cynical" and "i don't know why you need to be so hard at the world". but what she doesn't get is that it keeps me safe. putting up the armour and the defenses and the public don't-fucking-touch-me vibe has kept me safe for the last 15 years i've been out here on my own. and even if it's all an illusion, it's something i've wholeheartedly bought into, and sometimes that self-confidence is enough.
also, this rings so true for me:
It's the fantasy of finding an escape hatch from the things the world demands of women — the enforced prettiness and sweetness and sexual availability — and turning the rejection of those tropes into power.
the only thing i've ever really wanted is to have a bit of power of my own. and achieving that is a hard, hard thing when you're female. but maybe that also ties in with the first thinkpiece, and about how i was always co-opting what i thought were "masculine" interests because i felt like the association - or, maybe, the assimilation - would keep me safe. if i could be more threatening than the things that would threaten me, then maybe i could exist in this world while also holding my head high.
sometimes when you're a girl, it feels like the entire world is just waiting for you to fuck up and say the wrong thing or go the wrong way or trust the wrong person. so can you blame us for wanting to have some power of our own, to defend ourselves or to keep us safe? can you really blame us?
anyway, that's all i have to say.

A generation ago, real estate brokers probably didn't drift off to sleep each night dreaming that someday they would be able to work with buyers and sellers in half a dozen different legal relationships.
For most of the last century, the legal relationships between brokers and their clients were simple: Listing brokers represented sellers, and agents who worked with buyers did so as "subagents" of the listing broker. All of the agents involved in a transaction owed their allegiance to the seller, and buyers were unrepresented.

John Kenneth Galbraith, a diplomat, scholar and economist, was born October 15, 1908, in Iona Station, Ontario, the son of William Archibald (a politician and farmer) and Catherine Kendall. He served as an advisor in both the United States and Canadian governments from the 1930s onward. He studied agricultural economics at the Ontario Agricultural College (then part of the University of Toronto; now, the University of Guelph) and graduated with distinction in 1931. He went on to study agricultural economics at the University of California, receiving his Ph.D. in 1934 after submitting a dissertation on public expenditures in California counties. In this year he also began his long, though frequently interrupted, tenure at Harvard University, where he became an emeritus professor. He became a U.S. citizen in 1937 and in the same year married Catherine Atwater. They had four sons, Alan, Peter, James and Douglas.
Galbraith's academic career frequently gave way to public service. He worked in the Department of Agriculture during the New Deal, and during World War II as the deputy administrator in the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply. From his wartime work emerged a monograph, The Theory of Price Control (1952).
After the end of the war in Europe, Galbraith worked with the Office of Strategic Services directing research on the effectiveness of the Allies' strategic bombing of Germany. In 1947 he was one of the founders of the Americans for Democratic Action. After working as a speechwriter in the presidential campaigns of Senator Adlai Stevenson, Galbraith went on to chair the Democratic Advisory Council during Dwight D. Eisenhower's Republican administration. In 1956 he visited India where his fascination with the country inspired some of his later works. Galbraith was a close friend and early supporter of John F. Kennedy and after Kennedy's victory in the presidential election of 1960 Galbraith was named U.S. ambassador to India, serving from 1961 to 1963. An outspoken critic of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, he campaigned on behalf of the presidential ambitions of Senators Eugene McCarthy (1968) and George McGovern (1972). Later he worked in the campaigns of Congressman Morris Udall (1976) and Senator Edward Kennedy (1980). Though he eventually broke with President Lyndon B. Johnson over the war in Vietnam, he helped conceive Johnson's ‗Great Society' program and wrote a major presidential address that outlined its purposes.
A writer whose books cover a wide variety of topics, Galbraith's major intellectual contributions lie in the trilogy The Affluent Society (1958), The New Industrial State (1967), and Economics and the Public Purpose (1973). He published over 20 additional books, including two novels, a co-authored book on Indian painting, memoirs, travelogues, political tracts, and several publications on economic and intellectual history. He also collaborated on and narrated a Public Broadcasting System television series, "The Age of Uncertainty."
John Kenneth Galbraith died of natural causes at the age of 97 on April 29, 2006.

The following amendment to the Alumni Corp.'s bylaws will be voted on at Alumni Weekend on Oct. 15:
PROPOSED: To remove the position of adviser from the Executive Board and add a new position: the Alumni Communications Coordinator.
Why would we get rid of the adviser position?
The position of adviser has always been elected as a member of the Exec Board by Zeta Chapter alumni during Alumni Weekend. In the past the Exec Board has informed National HQ of the results of the election, and the winner has subsequently been recognized by National HQ as the official alumni adviser to Zeta Chapter.
At some point in 2015 National HQ discovered that the Alumni Corp. was electing two advisers: one who was the adviser officially recognized by National HQ, and the other, who National HQ was not aware of.
National HQ read this as an attempt to conceal information from them, although this was never the intent of the second adviser. In addition, National HQ has stated to the Exec Board that Zeta Chapter has historically operated with more independence than they would like. For example, National HQ often appoints their own chosen advisers for other chapters, and HQ staff has declared their intent to do the same for Zeta Chapter.
They have further declared their intent to appoint an adviser who is not a Zeta Chapter alumnus and who lives in or nearby Lancaster. Further, they have warned the Exec Board that appointing a Zeta Chapter alumnus to serve the function of adviser but under a different title could result in disciplinary action against the alumni chapter and the undergrad chapter.
In order to ensure that (1) a person who is not a Zeta Chapter alumnus cannot be made an Exec Board member, and (2) to avoid disciplinary action immediately after ending a year-long period of probation, we are removing the position of adviser from the Exec Board.
This does not mean that the Exec Board will stop providing assistance and oversight of the undergraduate chapter; rather, the person officially recognized by National HQ as the liaison between HQ and Zeta Chapter will now be appointed by HQ rather than elected by the Zeta Alumni Corp.
Why do we need to add a new position to the Exec Board?
In order to maintain the current count of seven members on the Exec Board, a new position must be introduced to take the place of the adviser. The current Board members feel that decreasing the number of decision makers would not be beneficial to the functioning of the Board. We also hope to add a recent graduate to the Exec Board via this position, thereby providing a more balanced representation of the alumni base as a whole.
What would the responsibilities be for the proposed new position?
In addition to holding the full rights and privileges of an Exec Board member, including voting on all business introduced during Exec Board meetings, the Alumni Communications Coordinator would adopt some duties currently performed by the secretary, including the following:
- Manage all communications to alumni of the Zeta Chapter of the Phi Kappa Sigma Fraternity by the Zeta Alumni Corporation. He shall also maintain the Corporation's online presence.
- Coordinate print and online newsletters for the Corporation and assist in the same for the active chapter.
- Assist the Secretary in maintaining the Corporation's contact list of alumni.
- Organize programs for the betterment of the alumni members, including networking and career advancement programs.

Bring along Songs! Poems! Recitations! Tunes! Dances! etc
Back in the bad old days, we would have said: "Ladies bring a plate - Gents bring a bottle" ... but we know better these days. Just for starters - we want something edible on the plate ... and a decent drop in the bottle!

People go out for drinks, people go out for dinner, and occasionally, truly dedicated people go out just for dessert. So when all you really want is a nice piece of chocolate cake that someone else will hand to you on a real plate - whether or not you've just had dinner at a different restaurant - head to one of these 10 spots.
The Spots
Gilt Bar
Gilt Bar is right next door to Bavette's, and is from the same owners. It also has the same kind of dimly-lit speakeasy atmosphere. And on top of that, it has some of the same dishes - like an incredibly rich chocolate cream pie that's one of our favorite desserts in all of Chicago. Gilt Bar also has a few things you won't find at its sister spot, though, like a sticky toffee pudding that will make you believe you're a judge on the Great British Bake-Off (for at least a few seconds). Most importantly, while Bavette's isn't always a good bet for walk-ins, Gilt Bar is. So grab a seat in the downstairs library for a sit-down dessert date.
RPM Steak
RPM Steak is sceney and expensive, and depending on your mood (and budget), a whole dinner here can feel more intense than what you're normally up for on a Tuesday. But not if you just hit up the bar section for dessert. You can still get the best of what this place offers (like great service and giant leather booths), without the expense and time commitment of a full-blown meal. Order the delicious 14-karat gold-flaked chocolate cake that can easily feed two people, then go home and watch a documentary about bird migration.
The Publican
The Publican is known for pork and beer, and it does both of those things very well. But another thing it does well is dessert. The long, always-changing menu includes things like cranberry creamsicle ice cream, malted chocolate layer cake, and "Erica's cookie jar" - a bunch of different cookies that come in, yes, an old-school cookie jar. So come here and pretend you're having an after-school snack (back in the day before parents started reading about the dangers of sugar).
Nico Osteria
While we like the pastas at Nico Osteria, our low-key favorite reason for coming here is the desserts. For example, cheesecake semifreddo with apple cake and salt and pepper almonds, and a tiramisu made with mezcal and smoked chocolate sauce. Sit at the chef's counter and order as many things as you can fit in front of you.
Pacific Standard Time
After you leave a boring work function, you need to go somewhere fun to make up for the two hours and 48 minutes of your life you won't be getting back. Drinks are an obvious solution, and while you should definitely have some, get a tasty dessert to make up for the stale cake with neon icing you almost ate, too. Pacific Standard Time is a loud and busy River North restaurant with an upbeat bar section where you can sit, order a cocktail, and eat something sweet - like banoffee pie, banana halva fudge ice cream, or huckleberry cake.
Beatrix has a pastry counter that's full of tasty grab-and-go treats. But don't let that distract you - sit down in the restaurant and order the caramel pie. It's buttery and delicious, and has a shortbread crust that's good enough to eat on its own. Plus, the casual, friendly atmosphere here will remind you of your friend's kitchen. So it's basically like being on Golden Girls, just with less cheesecake.
Mindy's Hot Chocolate
Any place that accepts "dessert only" reservations obviously takes the concept of sit-down dessert pretty seriously. The menu at this comfort food spot changes monthly, but you'll find a wide variety of cakes, from a flourless chocolate one to a strawberry port red velvet cake - and you might as well get some hot chocolate while you're here, too (there are seven kinds to choose from, and they're all fantastic).
Maple & Ash
You usually go to Maple & Ash when you want an over-the-top steakhouse experience, complete with chandeliers, velvet booths, and candelabras instead of portraits of B-list celebrities. But a lesser-known use for this spot is for dessert. The large lounge area is perfect for walk-ins, and works for couples or groups who want to eat an elaborate sundae and pretend they're in a 1990s Meatloaf video.
Swift & Sons
The West Loop has a lot of trendy restaurants. But after having dinner at one of those, make Swift & Sons your final stop before you head home. Despite the fact that it's primarily a kind-of-formal steakhouse, it's a perfectly valid destination just for dessert. For one thing, they have a little trolley rolling around that's full of tasty little chocolate candies and baked goods. But what you really want to focus on here are dishes like the citrus pavlova, chocolate creme brulee, or deep-dish cookie - which tastes like something you could potentially make at home if you had a lot more energy.
Gibsons Bar & Steakhouse
Gibsons is where you go for lie-down dessert. That's because a nap is generally the best course of action after getting one of their (literally) six-pound pieces of cake. The flavors rotate, but you'll always find carrot, along with the Macadamia turtle pie - which isn't technically cake, but is still huge, and tasty enough that we'd understand if you skipped dinner for it. Bring a friend (or three), and probably a wheelbarrow for the leftovers.

David Muir dominates in viewers but NBC's Lester Holt still reigns in key demos
David Muir may be getting something extra special in his Christmas stocking this year: he has helped to make World News Tonight the most-watched primetime news program for the first time in 18 years.
The last time World News held the top spot was during the 1998-99 season when Peter Jennings sat at the anchor's desk, according to Nielsen. Muir is also besting Nightly News with Lester Holt by 82,000 viewers (8.42 million vs. 8.34 million) — its largest season-to-date advantage over NBC since the 1996-97 season.
The race isn't over yet, though: Holt still dominates the time slot among adults 25-54 and adults 18-49. NBC, as usual, won the November sweeps in the demos but ABC triumphed in total viewers — its first win among total eyeballs in 15 years.
Muir, 43, took over for Diane Sawyer in 2014. ABC News credits the show's viewership surge to the 14 international reporting trips that Muir has taken since assuming the anchor post.
Here are the the latest results from Nielsen for the week of Nov. 21:
|Total Viewers
|Adults 25-54
|Adults 18-49
|ABC World News Tonight
|1.6/6; 1,908,000
|1.1/5; 1,406,000
|NBC Nightly News
|1.8/7; 2,174,000

Book Description:
After eighty years of war the remnants of humanity on the Nayarit Line struggled to survive in sealed domes, surrounded by radioactive wasteland and genetically engineered viruses. It was in the last, desperate years of the war that the first trans-temporal portal was developed at Chiqu, a small research facility on the west coast of North America. As the domes finally failed and civilization collapsed around them, Iapura led fifty-three survivors to found a new empire on a parallel Earth; an Earth where, in 1884, Russian and English armies faced each other across America's Great Plains, totally unprepared for the technology of the invading Nayarit. The Cross-Temporal Empire now encompasses fifty-four parallel Earths. But with its ruling Council riven by dissent the death of First Leader Manet, sets the Council into a slow and irrevocable slide into civil war.
A war that threatens not only the lives of the Clemhorn siblings: Conrad, Arnold, Donald, and Ivy; but the very future of the Empire.

Lung cancer is a disease characterized by abnormal growths, or cancers, in the lungs. Most of the lung tumours are malignant, i.e. they spread throughout the body by destroying the healthy tissues around them. Because of this, lung cancer is a very life-threatening type of cancer and one of the most difficult cancers to treat.
People with lung cancer do not exhibit any symptoms when the cancer is diagnosed and until it has spread. Some of the most common symptoms of lung cancer are:
- Persistent cough which worsens over time
- Haemoptysis, i.e., coughing up blood or sputum
- Wheezing or hoarseness
- Persistent chest pain which get worse with deep breathing or coughing or laughing
- Respiratory infections like bronchitis or pneumonia which doesn't go away
- New cough or onset of wheezing
- Shortness of breath
- Feeling tired or weak frequently
- Unexplained weight loss and loss of appetite
If the cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it may cause the following symptoms and syndromes
- Jaundice (yellowing of eyes and skin) if it spreads to liver
- Bone pain, usually in the backbone, thigh bones (femur), pelvic region and ribs
- If it spreads to the brain or spinal cord, it can cause headache, weakness, numbness of limbs, problems with vision etc.
- Cancers of the top part of the lungs can cause Horner Syndrome characterized by drooping of one eyelid, reduced sweating on one side of the face etc.
Lung cancer is of two types, depending on the type of cells that constitute the cancer: Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) and Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC).
SCLC occurs in about 20 percent of the cases of lung cancer and is the most aggressive and fastest growing of all the lung cancers. Often, by the time it is discovered, it would have already spread to other parts of the body. It is also known as Oat Cell Carcinomas. It is more likely to respond to chemotherapy, but less likely to be cured with treatment.
In Limited-stage SCLC, cancer cells are found in one lung and may be found in the tissues between the lungs and in nearby lymph nodes. If cancer is found in the other lung, in the lymph nodes of the other lung, or other parts of the body, it is called Extensive-stage.
Risk Factors and Causes:
The risk factors for SCLC are as follows:
- Tobacco Smoke: About 80% of the deaths caused due to lung cancer are the result of smoking, and this percentage is even higher for SCLC. Smokers are at a greater risk of developing SCLC than non-smokers. Even second-hand smoke can increase the risk of developing lung cancer.
- Air Pollution: Continuous, long-term exposure to polluted air emitted from automobiles, factories etc. increases the risk of lung cancer slightly.
- Exposure to asbestos: People who are regularly exposed to asbestos, for example those working in mines, mills, textile plants, shipyards etc. are at a greater risk of developing a type of cancer known as Mesothelioma, which starts in the inner lining of the chest cavity and the outer lining called the pleura.
- Exposure to Radon: Radon is a radioactive gas that occurs naturally when uranium in the soil and rocks break down. This invisible, tasteless and odourless gas exposes the lungs to small amounts of radiation and increases the risk of lung cancer.
- Exposure to arsenic and other carcinogens: People who are exposed to substances like arsenic, chromium, nickel, other aromatic hydrocarbons, diesel exhaust etc. are more susceptible to lung cancer.
- Personal or family history: A person who has already had lung cancer is at a very high risk of developing another lung cancer. Genetics also plays an important role in the possibility of getting this condition.
NSCLC are the most common lung cancers, which can be divided into several main types based on the type of cells found in the tumour. There are different subtypes of NSCLC. They are:
- Adenocarcinoma: These cancers usually originate in the cells that secrete substances like mucus. It mostly occurs in current or former smokers, and also in non-smokers. It is more common in women than men.
- Squamous cell (epidermoid) carcinoma: These start in the squamous cells, which are the flat cells lining the insides of the airways in the lungs.
- Large cell (undifferentiated) carcinoma: They can appear in any part of the lung and tend to grow and spread quickly, which makes it harder to treat.
The diagnosis usually starts with the doctor asking a list of questions about the symptoms, medical and personal history, lifestyle etc. of the individual. Doctors use a wide range of diagnostic procedures and tests to diagnose lung cancer. Some of them are:
- Chest X-ray: This procedure is carried out to detect the causes of respiratory symptoms,
- Scanning: In case of severe symptoms, CT scan (Computerized Tomography) or MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) may be performed to help determine the stage of cancer and also its spread to other organs and lymph nodes.
- PET (Proton Emission Tomography): This can be used to find out if a tumour tissue is actively growing and determining the type of cells within the tumour.
- Sputum Testing: This is a simple test where the cells in the sputum are examined to check if they are cancerous. This is not a completely reliable method though.
- Bronchoscopy: In this method, the airways are examined through a thin, fiber-optic cable inserted through the nose or mouth to reveal the areas of tumour and the extent of tumour.
- Needle Biopsy: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA), usually performed with radiological imaging for guidance can be useful in retrieving cells for diagnosis. The needle is inserted through the chest wall and into the tumour.
- Thoracentesis: In this procedure, a sample of the fluid is removed from the pleural cavity surrounding the lungs, which is important for the staging and diagnosis of this disease.
- Surgical procedures: There are two surgical procedures which are performed. In a Thoracotomy, the chest is opened and the tumour is removed and examined. It may not be possible to remove the entire tumour if it has spread outside the lungs. Mediastinoscopy is another endoscopic procedure which involves examining the chest cavity between the lungs through a surgically inserted probe to collect the sample of lymph nodes so they can be evaluated for cancer cells. This procedure is useful in determining if the tumour can be surgically removed or not.
The staging of lung cancer refers to the extent of the disease. In case of the NSCLC, it is staged according to the size of the tumour and whether it has spread to the lymph nodes or other organs of the body.
In the Occult or Hidden Stage, cancer cells are found in the coughed up mucus or in other lung fluids, but no tumour can be seen in the lungs.
Stage 0 is not considered invasive because the cancer cells are found in the innermost lining of the air passages, but have not grown through it.
Stag 1A is considered invasive cancer because the tumour has grown through the inner lining of the airways into the deep lung tissue. The size of the tumour doesn't exceed 3 cm, and has not spread to the bronchi, lymph nodes or distant sites.
In Stage 1B, the diameter of the tumour exceeds 3 cm, or has spread to the main bronchus, or has grown through the lung into the inner layer of the pleura.
In Stage 2A, the tumour is no more than 3 across, but it has spread to the nearby lymph nodes on the same side of the chest as the tumour.
In Stage 2B, there are two scenarios that can occur. One, where the cancer cells have not spread to nearby lymph nodes, but have spread to other parts of the body like the chest wall, diaphragm etc. In the second scenario, the cancer has spread to the nearby lymph nodes on the same side of the chest as the tumour. Also the size of the tumour exceeds 3 cm.
In Stage 3A, the tumour may be of any size and the cancer has spread to more lymph nodes on the same side of the chest and to other nearby structures, but not the trachea.
In Stage 3B, the tumour may be of any size, and has spread to the lymph nodes on the other side of the chest or above the collar bone, and may have spread to nearby structures like the heart, major heart vessels, diaphragm, chest wall, trachea, oesophagus, breastbone, or to more than one place in the same lung.
In Stage 4, cancer has spread to other lobes of the same lung and to other parts of the body such as the brain, liver, kidneys, adrenal glands or bones.
Treatment options include local therapies such as
- Surgery
- Radiation Therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Targeted Therapy
The patient may receive one or a combination of the treatments. There are several surgical options depending on the type and stage of cancer. During a Wedge Resection, the tumour and a small margin of healthy tissue is removed. In a Lobectomy, one lobe of the lung is removed. During a Pneumonectomy, the surgeon removes the entire lung. In a Sleeve Resection, the diseased section of a large airway is removed, and the healthy ends are reattached. During any of these procedures, the surgeon may remove the lymph to check them for signs of cancer.
Radiation therapy is a local treatment that uses high energy rays to kill or shrink cancer cells to relieve symptoms. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) is directed at the cancer's location from a machine outside your body. Brachytherapy is used to help remove blockages of the large airways by cancer. Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells by either killing them or inhibiting their cell division. Targeted therapies are newer cancer treatments that work by focusing on specific genetic abnormalities of cancer cells.

Product Description
Our NEW Circadian Sleep formula combines melatonin with a unique citrus-peel extract to encourage healthy function of both central and peripheral circadian clocks, respectively. MicroActive® Melatonin promotes optimal sleep-wake cycles, and nobiletin from young citrus peel supports healthy expression of genes that govern your peripheral circadian rhythms.
Benefits at a Glance:
- Promotes healthy whole-body circadian rhythms1-3
- Supports healthy sleep-wake cycles1
- Helps maintain whole-body health
- Contains both melatonin and nobiletin citrus extract
More facts about Circadian Sleep
You've probably heard of circadian rhythms — they're best-known for regulating your sleep-wake cycles. In addition to the central circadian "clock" in your brain, the internal-time keeper that regulates sleep, you also have peripheral circadian clocks in various organs that govern essential biological processes: heart rate, body temperature, hormone release, blood pressure, liver, kidney and pancreatic function, and more.4-6
But ageing, hectic modern lifestyles, and other factors can disrupt all of your circadian clocks — which can affect your health.7-9 So we developed our Circadian Sleep formula to restore these natural rhythms: MicroActive® Melatonin targets the central clock in your brain, while nobiletin young citrus peel extract promotes healthy peripheral clocks, which control the rest of your body.
Melatonin for healthy sleep-wake cycling
Peripheral circadian clocks exist in virtually every cell of your body and are organized hierarchically, with the central clock setting the pace by regulating healthy sleep-wake cycles.1 Melatonin, known as the "sleep hormone," is primarily synthesized at night in the brain by the pineal gland.10 Melatonin ensures that the central clock is properly regulating sleep-wake cycles and aligning the peripheral clocks with the sleep-wake cycles for whole-body health.
So the first step to healthy, whole-body circadian rhythms is to restore that central clock with Melatonin.
Nobiletin for healthy peripheral circadian rhythms
Nobiletin is a polymethoxylated flavone isolated from young citrus peel. It has been shown to exhibit neuroprotective and antioxidant properties as well as promote a healthy inflammatory response.11
Results from a recent pre-clinical study suggest that nobiletin may also help positively regulate peripheral circadian rhythms.2 It does so by directly activating a unique set of receptors widely expressed throughout the body,12 and known to play a key role in regulating circadian rhythms.13-16
Nobiletin promotes whole-body health
In another pre-clinical study, nobiletin regulates the expression of circadian genes which themselves control the expression of other genes with specific circadian functions in every cell.3 Healthy expression of genes controlling circadian rhythms supports metabolic, cognitive, liver, and kidney health and also helps maintain healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglyceride levels already within the normal range.17-20
Unique circadian health formula
By targeting both "central" and "peripheral" circadian clocks, our Circadian Sleep represents a novel, restorative approach to whole-body health. Try Circadian Sleep today!

Yes, Doom is back. And now we know a lot more about what kind of Doom it's going to be. If you're a fanatic for one of the most groundbreaking first-person shooter franchises in gaming history, you're going to be salivating.
Bethesda Softworks showed off a preview tonight of its latest Doom game in front of a crowd of fans and press in advance of the Electronic Entertainment Expo game trade show in Los Angeles. The first demo showed an entire level of fine work with a shotgun, fist, machine gun, and chainsaw. The crowd reacted with cheers with every bloody pulp. The final scene showed a demon ripping off the player's arms and hitting him with them. We also saw Doom Snapmap, the modding tools for this new shooter.
Doom Snapmap "is about players never running out of fun and imaginative gameplay," said Marty Stratton, executive producer at id Software.
The final part of the Doom presentation showed the player in hell, slaying more demons. I was impressed at how bright and gold-colored it was. Except for red stuff that flowed after using the chainsaw. Doom is unapologetically violent. The rocket launcher brought back memories. And the crowd cheered when the hero ripped out a demon's heart and then stuffed it in the demon's mouth. The scene closed with the hero attacking a gigantic demon with a BFG9000.
Doom comes out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC in spring 2016.
The combat was single-player, but Stratton also showed a tiny part of multiplayer. The graphics look spectacular, and you can poke out an enemy's eyes with your thumbs. And every player will be able to mod the game and share it with everyone with Doom SnapMap.
As we suspected from the brief unveiling last summer, the realistic 3D sci-fi shooting game is indeed pushing the edge of animation technology, as Doom fans demand the very best in 3D graphics.
The basic Doom story isn't much. A space marine lands on Mars and finds it infested with demons who have come through a portal from hell. So he has to wipe them out. But with each generation of Doom, the tech and graphics get better. The new game will carry the name Doom, not Doom 4 as has often rumored.
In today's revelation, Bethesda's Pete Hines introduced Stratton. He took the stage and introduced a live gameplay demo that used id Tech 6, a game engine created by John Carmack (and his successors). The company made the announcement in a fan-crowded event at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. That's the same venue as the Oscars.
"You've been activated to do one thing: Kill demons," Stratton said.
He said it is an origin game, fast-paced, and set outside of the UAC research facility on Mars as it is being invaded by the forces of evil.
The demo showed some awesome demons and shotgun action.
This game will move much faster (60 frames per second) than Doom 3. It will have melee combat in full 1080p high-definition. You'll be able to carry a bunch of huge weapons all at the same time. In the demo, the player ripped a demon in half, and then rip his arms off.
Fans set their social networks on fire as they talked about the unveiling. It's a big deal since more than 10 million copies of Doom have been sold since id Software (which Bethesda owner ZeniMax acquired) released the first game in 1993.
The original represented the first instance where game developers separated a game into its design and an engine. The Doom engine, which Carmack created, was the underlying platform on which to build the game. The industry now has many such engines, such as Unity, Unreal, CryEngine, and a new Doom engine (known as id Tech 6). That new engine will likely push lifelike graphics to a new level.
Of course, Doom's influence is broader, as it kicked off the graphic-intensive first-person shooter genre, which generates billions of dollars in revenues a year. Many of the original copies were given away for free. And it spawned six sequels and a movie.
The last Doom 3 game debuted in August 2004. That game had haunting shadows and realistic lighting, but lots of fans hated the slower 30-frames-per-second speed. Carmack first teased Doom 4 in 2007. But Bethesda felt that the earlier game didn't meet the quality bar, and it rebooted development.
