Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in the United States and a leading cause of women's disabilities.
Fortunately, we are privileged to know a physician who is gaining national attention for her contributions to controlling this widespread ailment.
Dr. Martha Gulati, associate professor of medicine and clinical public health at Ohio State University, is passionate about the battle against heart disease. Her detailed study of cardiac risk factors in women and research of healthy lifestyle options led to her being honored at the 2012 Woman's Day Red Dress Awards on Feb. 15 at New York's Lincoln Center.
As a cardiologist at the Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, Gulati understands that heart disease isn't solely a man's problem.
She reminds women that they can get it, too.
As a researcher, Gulati tirelessly searches for innovative ways to reduce mortality rates related to this devastating disease. As an author, she has written guidelines for the American Heart Association on how to prevent it. Her book, Saving Women's Hearts, is a guide to forestalling or reversing heart disease through everyday strategies.
It was a privilege to see Gulati honored along with Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and others for this award, previously accepted by former first lady Laura Bush and journalist Barbara Walters. It certainly validates the "heart" work she does every day.
Ohio State is enriched by having Gulati on its medical-center team, and central Ohioans are fortunate to have someone in their midst who is so dedicated to helping women avoid heart disease.

Eva's BiographyA chance meeting with Madame Hoffman in Germany, led to Eva Fraser, then fifty years of age, to discover and develop her Facial Fitness technique.
Madame Hoffman had devised a method of exercising the facial muscles with the help of a doctor friend in the 1930's. After much persuasion she gave Eva one lesson and then went on to train her for a year in London. The only person to be granted this privilege.
Since 1990 Eva has brought her methods in to the public domain. Through her best selling books, translated in to eight languages, she has won recognition around the world and is approved by dermatologists, and the medical profession in general.
NewsDaily Express, Secrets of a Natural Facelift
The Telegraph, A Natural Facelift that lasts
What the Press sayStyle Magazine Sunday Times, Vanessa Wilde's Secret Diary
'I must admit her skin is really amazing. Very firm, very smooth, very few wrinkles and she must be nearly 70. She looks 50. I've never seen a face-lift as good as that, as far as I know and, if I have, I definitely need to know.'
"It's not a face-lift, it's my facial exercises" she said (Lady Cromigh) "They're simply marvellous. Eva Fraser!"
'It turns out that Eva Fraser is a beauty guru in Kensington who teaches amazing facial exercises. If you spend about 7 minutes a day exercising your facial muscles you stay looking 20 years younger.'
Eve Magazine
'Another great way to lift the face is - like the rest of the body - with exercise. A name that's cherished by beauty aficionados is Eva Fraser. One look at Fraser, who is in her 70's, doesn't look a day older than 55, we'll have you running to her clinic'
Independent on Sunday
Heredity plays a large part in determining how individuals age, says Dr David Fenton of St John's Institute of Dermatology at St Thomas's Hospital. "Much is down to luck. But from what I've seen of Eva Fraser's work, there is no doubt it appears to have some effect. I've had patients who have been to her, and there is no doubt that there is a visible change. There is no scientific evidence, but you can see a difference."

Overview of SIM100 Isolation Monitor
The Sendyne SIM100MOD is a high voltage isolation monitoring device for electrical systems. The isolation monitor operates correctly even when the battery is active, and experience large variations.
The SIM100MOD continuously monitors the isolation resistance between vehicles IT (Isolated Terra) power system and chassis for deterioration of insulation and potentially dangerous levels of leakage current.
The module detects all sources of leakage, including multiple, simultaneous symmetrical and asymmetrical faults, as well as resistive paths between the chassis and points in the battery with the same potential as the chassis. The measured data is filtered by an advanced algorithm, resulting in a high level of noise rejection. The module estimates new values for the isolation resistance twice per second. In the case of insulation fault, the unit identifies the relative position of the fault in relation to the battery terminals (positive, negative or anyplace in between). In addition, it measures and reports the value of capacitance from each battery terminal to chassis.

About Sendyne's Technology:
How we efficiently consume, conserve and securely generate the energy we need is one of the key challenges of the 21st century. One technology that has the potential to help meet this challenge is energy storage. Energy storage can aid in optimization of the electric grid, enable effective integration of alternative, intermittent generation, such as wind and solar, and can empower a new generation of electric vehicles.
Large-scale storage systems are extremely complex. Proper system management is critical; it must be able to effectively monitor, predict and control all aspects of battery system performance, including capacity, cycle life and safety. Failure to provide such management results in underutilized (and overpriced) battery packs that require extra capacity to hedge against the unknown.
Effective battery system management cannot be accomplished using existing technologies nor by employing traditional methods used for notebook or other smaller batteries. Further, a multidisciplinary approach is needed, one which combines knowledge of electrochemistry, power systems, modeling, and Digitally Assisted Analog (DAA).
Sendyne® was formed in 2010 to address the challenges of battery system management through the development of breakthrough technologies. We've formed a multidisciplinary team which has developed a strong intellectual property portfolio. These technologies are focused on crucial aspects of battery system management, including accurate sensing, power delivery system design, robust, predictive modeling and more.

AMD Must Deliver On This Promise to Survive 2014
Advanced Micro Devices is trying to execute a huge turnaround, while also moving into a new core market. This is a year for AMD to do or die.
Shares of Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) surged 61% higher in 2013. The processor designer easily crushed the S&P 500 benchmark index, while chief rivals Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) struggled to keep pace with the market. Can AMD keep the fires burning in 2014?
Before looking ahead, let me just remind you that AMD's 2013 jump was more of a bounce off the bottom than a healthy growth story. The stock plunged 57% in 2012 and AMD's trailing earnings haven't been positive since 2011. This is a turnaround story in the making, with all the tremendous potential gains and huge operating risks that entails.
That said, Wall Street analysts do expect AMD's turnaround story to continue. The average forecast for 2014 points to adjusted earnings of $0.12 per share, up from a $0.12 estimated loss per share in 2013. Revenue is supposed to spike 11% higher this year, which would be AMD's strongest annual sales growth since 2010.
Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis supported his optimistic forecast this way: "We hosted client meetings with AMD's CFO over the last two days, and left thinking the Street was not giving credit to AMD's gaming solutions, nor to AMD's potential to win back share in both notebooks and discrete graphics."
So AMD's future isn't completely chained to the ailing PC market. Lipacis noted opportunities for AMD to steal market share from NVIDIA in graphics and from Intel in notebook systems, but the "gaming solutions" comment hints at a larger trend.
AMD may not design chips for smartphones and tablets, but the company did produce semicustom chips for all three of the next-generation gaming consoles. And outside the attractive but relatively low-volume console market, AMD is open to designing custom solutions for any embedded computing situation. Two years ago, only 5% of AMD's sales weren't tied to PC systems; today, that ratio has surged to 30% as AMD diversified. Expect this trend to continue.
So AMD is looking at a fine opportunity to execute on the semicustom market in 2014. To do that, the company must spread the word of its custom design services and win the trust of the world's major electronics manufacturers.
But it's a race against time. AMD is burning cash in almost every quarter and not paying down a crushing debt load that results in $178 million of annual interest payments. The company operates with five times more debt than shareholder equity.
AMD's dwindling cash reserves won't last forever, and banks might grow tired of underwriting big loans to this cash-burning company. If AMD's turnaround doesn't accelerate into reliable cash profits in 2014, the company might be done for.
This is an extremely high-risk and high-reward situation, sink or swim, and it's better suited for gamblers than serious investors. If you simply must buy AMD shares today, make sure to stick to an amount you could afford to lose.

Today at Gilbert White's House we are celebrating a very special anniversary and the Hampshire Butterfly.
Andy Barker from the Hampshire branch of The Butterfly Conservation tells us more…
By virtue of its southerly situation and variety of habitats, Hampshire is without doubt one of the best counties in England to see butterflies. Nowadays, butterfly recording is a popular activity, and contributes greatly to our knowledge and understanding of the state of the environment through monitoring the changing fortunes of individual species. Modern technological advances have facilitated greater opportunities for data exchange and analysis, but have you ever wondered when butterfly recording in Hampshire originated?
8th March 2016 marks the 250th anniversary of the first Hampshire butterfly record, and not surprisingly it was the well-known and highly regarded early naturalist, Gilbert White, who made this record in his home village of Selborne, near Alton. The entry for 8th March 1766 in the publication Flora Selborniensis reads:
"Saw ye first butterfly, P.sulphureus, a brimstone-coloured one: some people saw several of these, & several that were coloured with black spots; these are I believe, P.urticae".
The butterflies he is referring to are of course the Brimstone (Gonepteryx rhamni) and, the Small Tortoiseshell (Aglais urticae). In Gilbert White's day, all butterflies had Papilio (P.) as the first part of the scientific binomial, with P.sulphureus clearly referring to a yellow butterfly, and P.urticae being one associated with nettles. We can all recognise these two species, as both are familiar as butterflies that hibernate through the winter and emerge on the first sunny days of Spring. It is an uplifting experience to see the first butterflies of the season as they herald the beginning of warmer weather and new life, with birds nesting, and flowers such as primroses starting to bloom.
If the truth be told, Gilbert White was not particularly interested in butterflies. Birds, plants and the vegetables in his garden were of much greater interest to him. Even so, he was interested in the seasons, and changes from one year to the next, so although butterflies are much less mentioned than birds, in most years of his famous "Naturalist's Journal", 1768-1793, he does record the first observed butterflies of each year. Only in 1769 and 1770 did Gilbert White refer to a wide variety of butterflies throughout the year. I assume he was trying to identify as many species as possible, most likely with the aid of a book, although he doesn't mention a specific text.
It is interesting to note that Gilbert White's butterfly observations and interests widened following a visit to see his brothers Benjamin and Thomas in London in 1767. He also met Thomas Pennant at this time, and quite probably saw a copy of "The Aurelian" by Moses Harris (published 1766), when he visited his brother Benjamin, who was a dealer in Natural History books. The Aurelian, with 44 beautiful copper-plate engravings depicting 33 known butterflies and many more moths, all hand-coloured, was without doubt one of the most important publication of its time. Whether Gilbert White saw this book or not is difficult to be certain, but he certainly seems to have had a reference book on butterflies post-1767, and as stated above, made the greatest variety of butterfly records in 1769 and 1770.
So, when you observe your first butterfly of this year, 2016, and maybe it will be a Brimstone, think back to Gilbert White, 250 years ago, who was observing the same thing. Hopefully you'll have the same interest and excitement as he did and, whilst you may record it your diary, you are perhaps equally as likely to record the sighting electronically and submit your record using Butterfly Conservation's recording App!
A small display to mark the 250th anniversary of butterfly recording in Hampshire, is on show throughout March at the Gilbert White House Museum, Selborne, subject to normal opening times and admission charges.

Why I Think Soccer is A Subversive Sport
The Soccer Invasion
The International Sport of the Masses
Why I Think Soccer is a Subversive Sport
I grow ever more weary of people telling me what a wonderful sport soccer is and how it's "taking over America". This sends a chill up my spine. While it may be true, I believe that such a thing would be as bad for America as progressive socialism.
There's a reason soccer is not wildly popular in America as it is in the rest of the world, except, of course, as a way to wear out your kids after school so they're too tired to bother you while you're watching TV in the evening. America is peopled by folk who didn't like living in "the rest of the world". We didn't fit the cultures we escaped from. That's why we ran away from "the rest of the world". Most of us had ADD. That's why, in many cases, they kicked us out. Soccer is boring – a kind of continuous state of conflict the whole game long. As Americans, we like sports that are a series of discreet contests so we can refocus after each play. We like a break from the battle. Even basketball is a set of back and forth battles with lots of scoring. There's always that little breathing space after a slam dunk where you can go, "Alright, here we go again," before the teams pound back down the court in the other direction. With soccer, you don't get the relief and thrill of the score. Basketball games can run scores of eight to one hundred something. With soccer you get 1-0 victories. Victory sometimes is almost an accident.
Soccer is a never-ending conflict without relief and with few rewards. If you go to the bathroom during the game you could miss the only goal scored. A cricket match can last for days and by the end of it nobody much cares about the outcome. The highlight of most "rest of the world" games is the individual moments of heroism by a Pelee or David Beckham. American games are all about the final score. We're goal-directed. We're not content with never-ending conflict.
Defendants of soccer protest that we don't like it because you have to "get into" it. You have to learn to appreciate the subtle ebb and flow of the game. It's not natural for an American to think that way. Americans always think we need to be doing something definitive about their situation. It's little wonder so many Old World and Third World cultures are like colonies of sand crabs and oysters and always seem to need rescuing. The people are used to the subtle ebb and flow of political turmoil so they just hunker down in the sand and hope some food drifts by soon.
We do have some less popular sports like hockey and lacrosse that are similar to soccer, although both of them allow players to use their hands. American hockey is popular only in areas where there are lots of city folks (that's where we keep our Democrats in this country). Even then, there needs to be a fight to break out once in a while to keep everyone's interest up. That's what happens when you play a poor people's sport that is so limited in its scope. People get bored and start tearing up the seats and whacking each other over the heads with the planks.
You don't get riots at American games. The game is exciting enough. People who do get rowdy are arrested and taken away to a place we have for anti-social people. Soccer fans are angry, crazed fanboys almost by definition.
The rise of "soccer" in youth sports is, I feel, a plot to bring the United States into the new world order. I don't like it. We need our American sports if we are going to preserve America's uniqueness in the world. We think differently from "the rest of the world" and that's a good thing to my way of thinking.
I'm not saying soccer was invented to corrupt American youth. I'm saying the sport is a reflection of the rest of the world's culture as it is. As a former PE coach and therapeutic recreation specialist, I know how to use recreational activities to teach fundamental principles of life. I got to where I adapted soccer to make it a higher scoring game when I taught at a residential treatment center for kids – 5 points in the net, 1 point in the end zone. I used this new version with severely emotionally disturbed and abused kids. They picked it up quickly, were not bored and every player was able to contribute to the scoring as part of a team. I made an American game out of it and the kid had fun. I had some non-Americans on the staff who took umbrage with my changing the rules, but I asked them whether they wanted to play it the "right" way and have to deal with bored rowdy kids when the game was over or to play it my way and have exhausted, satisfied kids when they went back to the dorms.
I'm just saying that soccer is not a native American sport and may actually teach a mental orientation that doesn't reflect the American culture. Soccer has an international flavor that I'm not sure is good for our kids. Even Lacrosse and hockey, though both resemble soccer, require the use of both hands and feet. We don't play with our hands tied to our sides with only the special elite class of player (goalies) allowed the use of their hands. It's a commie sport if you ask me – designed to keep the peasants in their places.
And as to scoring, that's another gripe I have. Keeping up with soccer is like following French politics or an Alexander Dumas novel. Soccer fans are consumed with subtleties and nuance; long maneuvering, feints and tricks. It's no wonder Europeans and Latin Americans love it. Americans like to pound relentlessly toward a goal like Patton invading Germany. The Europeans didn't understand Patton at all, but they were terrified of him. They much preferred to fight Monty. He understood how the game was played. He was a soccer player.
Well, what do you expect? The guys who invented soccer also invented the Hundred Years War, The 30 Years War, The Crusades and all the brushfire wars in between. It never lets up with those people. Most people don't realize that all through the late 1800s the French, Belgians, Italians, Germans and Brits were busy doing little setpiece wars with each other all over Europe – that is when they weren't busily sniping at the natives in all those colonies they started in Africa, Asia and South America.
The whole soccer thing started out as a massive game with people from two towns kicking an inflated cow bladder back and forth between the two towns that were four or five miles apart. The towns were the freakin' goals! It went on for days and days and sometimes people got shot with arrows. I don't know what the goalies did - probably sat in a chair and got grapes fed to them by pretty girls. After all, they were the only ones allowed to use their hands.
"You just have to play it to learn to love it," soccer fans protest.
Well I have played it and it's bloody boring. I'm a conservative Republican. I suppose if I were a Democrat I could stand it. The game is based on the idea of non-stop conflict. We conservatives like to win our battles and rest up for a while. Progressives like to start the next election campaign even before the last one ends. They never stop. It's a way of life – a never ending war. Soccer is like that.
Most Americans like to win their wars, though. Never-ending conflicts is why we left the Old World in the first place. I don't need any international sports. Football and Baseball and the odd basketball game will do quite nicely thank you.
Tom King © 2013
It is within the range of possible outcomes that I might be coerced to play soccer. Watching it is clearly impossible. Soccer makes an afternoon spent stacking greasy BB's seem exciting.
This is literally the dumbest piece of writing on sports I've ever read. Xenophobic much? Thanks for elucidating that you're a Republican. We couldn't tell, dick. I hope America never fully adopts "soccer" because of people like you. It would be amusing, however, to see the meltdown that would occur with imbeciles like you.
And don't act like you've ever read a Dumas novel. HA!
I originally took this column as a tongue and cheek slam at the game. But then I realize some of your more important points.
Although I love the game, love the nuance and probably watch 150 games a year (mostly English Premier League), I do agree with you on one thing: I get tired of so many "snoccers" (soccer snobs) constantly going on about how we should be like the rest of the world. America is unique and I thought that is what everyone celebrates now. If you want diversity, the U.S. is where it's at, right? Why can't Americans have their own games? Baseball, Basketball and American Football are still the more dominant than soccer. And that's okay. Voted up.

If you happen to be at the Getty Center on Friday night or Saturday afternoon, you might bump into Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger playing a pop-up recital. Times and places will not be announced. Nor should you even try to imagine what kind of music, let alone what music.
Reijseger is the most Dutch of cellists. He embodies the range of his country's forward musical thinking, which means a forward approach to old music as well as new.
This kind of building bridges over musical canals is one of the things that makes Amsterdam so very interesting. And that is exactly what Reijseger does in the music he has also contributed to filmmaker Werner Herzog's new video installation, "Hearsay of the Soul," that opened at the Getty last week.
Reijseger began in the early music movement, for which Holland has been a longtime capital, playing a period-instrument Baroque cello. From there he leaped, in a way that the Dutch do with a startling lack of self-consciousness, into avant-garde music. From there to jazz, for which he is now best known.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
Reijseger no longer discharges genres; he simply renders them irrelevant.
On his gripping new CD for the stylish Winter & Winter label, he joins Dutch jazz and classical pianist Harmen Fraanje and the extraordinary Senegalese vocalist and instrumentalist Mola Sylla.
When bowed, Reijseger's cello sounds like Handel's cello. Plucked one way it conveys Mingus' bass. Plucked another way, it becomes sibling to Sylla's mbira. This combo cooks not from the heat of cultures colliding but because they have a big kitchen for three chefs with many musical hats. There is even a little place, on this audacious opening among these open-minded players, for a little dip into Puccini, played with an unforced expressive honesty.
Reijseger's music supplied the fourth dimension for Herzog's other merely 3-D documentary, "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," and for the "Hearsay" installation -- which concerns early 17th-century Dutch landscape etchings of Hercules Segers -- the cellist returns to his Baroque music roots as refracted through his experimental branches. Fraanje joins him on Baroque organ.
Also on Saturday at the Getty, Herzog and Reijseger will be on-hand to speak about their collaboration in the museum's Herald M. Williams Auditorium at 5 p.m. Reservations are recommended.

WHEAT Quality Australia (WQA) has released its 2018 wheat variety master list including 15 newly classified wheat cultivars.
The 15 newly classified lines run from Australian Prime Hard (APH) quality down to feed.
The 2018 list also sees the removal of 38 old wheat varieties, which were initially flagged for removal in 2016, in line with WQA's policy of gradually phasing out varieties to give growers time to adjust.
WQA executive officer Hugh Robertson said the master list, updated annually, was part of a push to ensure Australia's ongoing competitiveness on the world wheat stage.
"There is a lot of competition from places like the Black Sea, and while we might not be able to compete on price we can compete on quality," Mr Robertson said.
The list features varieties and what grade they can be delivered into across four broad growing regions in Australia, northern, south-eastern, southern and western.
New additions to the 2018 list are: Illabo, Sunprime, SEA Condamine, Razor CL Plus, Longsword, EG Titanium, EG Jet, Gold, Cobalt, DS Tull, DS Bennett, DBA Vittaroi, DBA Bindaroi, RGT Zanzibar, and RGT Calabro.
Other changes in the list include Cutlass being upgraded to an Australian Prime Hard in the Northern Zone and DS Faraday classified as Australian Prime Hard in the South Eastern Zone; while Scepter and DS Pascal have been classified as Australian Hard in the Northern Zone, and Sunmate has been upgraded to Australian Hard in the Southern Zone.
B53 has also been classified as Australian Standard White in the Northern Zone.
Mr Robertson said a part of the WQA charter was to review all lines over ten years old.
As a result of this review process, 250 varieties have been flagged for removal or reclassification over this period.
He said the old varieties slated to be phased out were not widely grown.
There were two varieties where consultation with industry meant the lines stayed on the master list.
The downgrade of Kennedy in the Northern Zone from APH to feed quality was postponed to 2019, allowing an additional season for growers to adjust, while the removal of Calingiri from Australian noodle wheat has been extended until 2020 to allow the market acceptance and producer uptake of alternatives to be fully assessed.

Most of our participants in ISSST2013 don't spend too much time thinking about what's becoming known as the "digital humanities" or "digital scholarship".
But I do.
I recently found this blog post by Rolf Zwaan that studies dissemination of "pre-publication" findings through digital media and conferences — which is exactly the model that ISSST2013 has adopted.
Zwaan argues that pre- and post-publication review strengthens science. But traditional journals fail to enable this. It is thru digital media that readers can make contributions. In fact, Zwann goes so far as to claim that traditional peer review is destined to become obsolete when he writes, "Can we dispense with traditional peer-review in the future? I think we might. We are probably in a transitional phase right now. Community-based evaluation is where we are heading."
Here the article:
Pre-publication posting and post-publication review will facilitate the correction of errors and will ultimately strengthen published submissions
The traditional peer-review process is not a 100% reliable filter, argues journal editor Rolf Zwaan. It is foolish to view the published result as the only thing that counts simply because it was published. Replication and community-based review are two tools at our disposal for continuously checking the structural integrity of research. Further mechanisms that support tracking the valuable pre- and post-submission discussion are needed to strengthen the publishing process.
There has been much discussion recently about the role of pre-publication posting and post-publication review. Do they have any roles to play in scientific communication and, if so, what roles precisely? Let's start with pre-publication posting. It is becoming more and more common for researchers to post papers online before they are published. There even are repositories for this. Some researchers post unpublished experiments on their own website. To be sure, like everything, pre-review posting has its downside, as Brian Nosek recently found out when he encountered one of his own unpublished experiments—that he had posted on his own website—in a questionable open access journal not with himself but with four Pakistani researchers as authors. But the pros may outweigh the cons.

engineers and musicians
Talking with Robert about the state of the world we're handing over to the next generation, I expressed some relief that there seems to be some recognition on the part of young people today that the challenges they face will only be met through hard work, serious study, and tremendous ingenuity.
"Kind of makes me feel guilty about the choice to study music," he said.
We need music now more than ever. Music calms the beast, ignites the soul, and unites everyone through a common language that is pre-verbal. What are all those engineers going to listen to on their brainpods or genephones or whatever it will be that they will use to connect to everything everywhere?
I sent him this drawing courtesy Hugh Macleod along with some banana bread and told him to get back to the woodshed.
He has much work to do.

We posed questions to admissions officials at the University of Richmond Robins School of Business regarding the application process, what they look for in applicants, and what sets their school apart. These are their responses:
1. What can applicants do to set themselves apart from their peers?
Our most successful applicants have an ability to articulate how an M.B.A. fits into their long-term career plan. They've already shown evidence of success on the job and are able to see (and discuss) how graduate management education will help them advance. They combine that vision with strong GMAT scores and solid work experience.
2. What do you look for in the application essays? What do the essays tell you about a candidate?
Although essays are not required at
3. How important is the applicant's GMAT score? How do you weigh it against undergraduate GPA and work/internship experience? Which of these carry the most weight? The least?
The GMAT score is a very important criterion for us, certainly more important than the undergraduate GPA. The quantitative GMAT score has proved a very good predictor of success in our program. The overall undergraduate GPA is less important than the applicant's record of success in particularly challenging courses like those in calculus, statistics, and economics. Clearly, the academic reputation of the institution matters a great deal. I would put the type and amount of work experience second to GMAT scores in terms of its importance in the profile.
4. How much does prior work/internship experience weigh into your decision making? What's the typical or expected amount of work experience from an applicant?
We expect our applicants to have a track record of success as full-time employees, with a strong preference for a career that shows clear evidence of increasing responsibility. The typical work experience among accepted applicants in recent years is six to 10 years.
5. What sets you apart from other schools? What can students gain from your school that they might not be able to find anywhere else?
We have had a very serious commitment to experiential learning for more than a decade, including a required international consulting project that we launched in 2000. Our students are very closely connected to the business community, not just in the mid-Atlantic region but also around the world. We are fortunate to operate in a city that is home to a dozen Fortune 1000 headquarters. Executives from each of those firms, many of them alumni of our program, are active with our student body.
6. What do you look for in recommendation letters? How important is it that the letter's writer has worked regularly with the candidate in an office or school setting?
We have decided to reduce the emphasis on recommendation letters in recent years. Our very strong preference is to meet with each applicant for an interview and to have each applicant spend time visiting classes and meeting current students during the application process. Those experiences tend to be very helpful in determining whether an applicant is a strong fit for our program.
7. Can you give a brief description of the life cycle of an application? What's the timeline applicants should expect?
Once all of the materials (application, transcripts, GMAT scores and résumé) have been received, we are able to provide a response in two or three weeks. Although our deadline for applications each year is
8. Which firms recruit heavily from your school? Which ones hire the highest percentage of your graduates?
We have built a very strong relationship with
9. What are some of the most common mistakes that applicants make that hurt their chances of being accepted?
Failing to properly prepare for the GMAT exam is one common mistake. Another is failing to specify why they have decided to pursue an M.B.A. and especially at
10. Can you describe the archetypal student for your school?
A 30-year-old manager in a Fortune 1000 firm, educated at a very strong undergraduate institution, though more often in engineering or the humanities than in business, with a GMAT of 650 and several years of interesting and relevant experience. The best students combine a strong desire to learn with humility and selflessness that means collaboration is more desirable than competition during the M.B.A. program.

Judah & Son Fish Market
January 11 ~ Sebastian, FL
I have previously written and shared photos from this location but as is always the case with wildlife photography, every outing is unique so I'll be telling you about this particular visit to the Judah & Son Fish Market in Sebastian, Florida. For years now anytime I visit family in Sebastian, I try to fit in a visit to this location. There is almost always a big flock of American White Pelicans that hang out on the docks at this market waiting the occasional fish scrap to be tossed their way. This year was no different and on the evening of January 11th I drove to the market with hopes of seeing these beautiful birds again.
I arrived around 3:30 and the birds did not disappoint. There was a flock of at least 30 or more White Pelicans as well as a few Brown Pelicans in the area. I grabbed a few photos of a couple of the White Pelicans that were swimming around and then moved my attention to the Brown Pelicans. Before I continue, I do want to mention that this is private property owned by the fish market so if you ever get a chance to visit please respect their property and be sure to ask permission to photograph the birds. In my experience they have been happy to oblige.
I had noticed the Brown Pelicans were lined up on dock posts to the left of where I was positioned. Over and over again they would leap off the posts and dive right into the water trying to catch a passing fish. I would have loved to capture them diving but to get the right angle for a good background I would have had to trespass onto the neighboring private property so I stayed put and tried to think of something else. I noticed after each dive that the pelicans would slowly drift away from the dock they dove from then they would take off into the wind which caused them to fly parallel to me. This would be perfect for a takeoff photo. I set up in a good spot and didn't have to wait long for one of them to dive, surface, and take off. I was able to try multiple times and get a bunch of great takeoff photos, it worked out wonderfully. While working with the Brown Pelicans a beautiful Great Egret landed on a post right near me and stayed just long enough for a portrait.
After a while the Brown Pelicans stopped diving so I turned my attention back to the White Pelicans. I photographed them sitting on the dock, flying, swimming, landing, doing just about everything. Every once in a while some fish scraps would land in the water from the fish market and the Pelicans would all speed over to try to be the first one to get the food. I was able to get a few close up portraits while they were doing this which was fun.
Most of the photos I had taken from up on the dock, I had been sitting in the same spot for a while so all the birds had become comfortable with me. Suddenly a White Ibis came flying in and landed right in front of the big pelicans. Moments later a Snowy Egret landed on the dock right in front of me. I was able to line up a photo that focused on the Snowy Egret with the White Ibis and White Pelicans in the background. Three all white birds lined up in the same shot, not a common occurrence! Another all white bird, a Great Egret, ended up on the dock at one point but I wasn't able to get all of them in the frame at the same time. It was still great to see all these beautiful birds in one spot and so close to me.
I photographed many bird species including the American White Pelicans, Snowy Egret, Great Egret, White Ibis, a pair of Ruddy Turnstones that showed up for a short period (not pictured here) and a Laughing Gull that landed almost on top of me it was so close. The sun was getting lower in the sky and the light was getting better by the minute. I was having a great time taking photos non-stop and trying my best to create unique photos that I hadn't taken here before. That can become a challenge when you visit the same location multiple times, trying to not take the same photos you have in the past.
It was now 5:30 and the sun was near setting. I would usually leave at this point because most of the White Pelicans that are sitting on the dock start to become shaded from the fish market building. One of the downsides of this location is you loose the last 20-30 minutes of sunlight due to shade. For some unknown reason I decided to stay on this evening to see what would happen.
As the last sunlight disappeared from the dock the sky opposite the setting sun started to turn a soft pastel shade of orange and peach. The sky color was a perfect compliment for the yellow-orange color of the White Pelican's beak. I had also noticed for the first time during this outing that White Pelicans have a touch of peach color on some of their back feathers. I'm not sure how I had missed that before but in all my previous visits I hadn't noticed. One of the last photos I took that day was one of my favorites from the outing. I had noticed a few of the pelicans tucking their beaks into the feathers on their back and starting to sleep for the night. I put on my 500mm lens so I could really isolate one particular bird who was right in the middle of the flock. I took a few photos with this bird's eye closed as it slept but then it would occasionally open its eye so I took one with an open eye as well. When I first saw this photo large on the computer I knew I had made something unique. A single open eye surrounded by a sea of white, quite possible my favorite photo of the trip.

Crime - Sacto 911
Construction firm offers aid to Sacramento woman who lost dogs, home to fire
Inderjit S. Toor Construction Inc. has offered to help Priscilla Pruitt pick up the pieces after her house burned down on Wednesday, killing her two small dogs.
Harinder Toor, who works at the company with his brother Inderjit Toor, said the construction company reached out to Pruitt after hearing about her story on the news. They will set her up in short-term housing and intend to rebuild her house in the next six months, Toor said.
Pruitt's house on Potomac Avenue in the Northgate area of Sacramento went up in flames while she was out for an early birthday lunch with two of her friends. She lost the house she owned for 45 years and her two small Lhasa Apsos, Max and Patches.
It occurred five days before she turns 70 on Monday.
Inderjit S. Toor Construction Inc. is primarily a luxury home construction company that builds "comfortable and practical" homes in and around Modesto.
To Toor's knowledge, Pruitt's insurance would not cover her housing or the contents and rebuilding of her house, so the company will do it free of charge. They hope to find her short-term housing as close to her original home as possible while they do the construction.
"We want to give her a parachute to help her out," Toor said.

Got an old computer? Fill minds, not landfills! Pass IT On!
Our USB technology SECURELY erases all of your data and loads educational content that teaches up to 3,000 kids in developing countries
Got an old computer? Fill minds, not landfills! Pass IT On!
Our USB technology SECURELY erases all of your data and loads educational content that teaches up to 3,000 kids in developing countries
Share this at https://www.facebook.com/PassItOnForGood?ref=hl
Our objective is to return value to our world by SECURELY extending the life of computers whenever possible, keeping them out of landfills and using them for education. Did you know that hitting the "delete" button doesn't really delete your data? Did you know that one repurposed computer can provide educational content for over 3,000 children, save 3,000 pounds of water, and 530 pounds of fossil fuel, enough energy to power 62 US households for a year?
Data Security & Good Karma start here- Pass IT On!
A credit card sized USB chip capable of changing the world. Embedded on your Pass is a powerful technology that prevents the theft of your personal data - and then streamlines the process of repurposing it for education or getting it into a certified stream for recycling - all while improving the lives of people around the world with a cleaner environment, solar powered lighting, clean water, and education.
And it all starts with you.
Whether you repurpose your old computer for education, recycle it to keep it out of a landfill, or simply SHARE this project on Facebook, you've included yourself in a worthwhile project that has an impact on us all, extending good karma around the world through your actions and our sponsors:
This project is an engineering partnership between Obliterase and the University of New Hampshire's Research Computing Center. We won an award at the MIT Enterprise Forum at the Microsoft Geek Center in Cambridge, Mass. Watch the video below to learn more about our team and UNH Research Computing Center!
Got an old computer! Pass it On!
We all have old, unwanted computers at home and work stored in our closets, basements, attics, and garages. And most of us can't remember what personal information is left on them! Pass It On for Good is the perfect program to eliminate the risk of your data getting into the wrong hands while doing good with your unwanted computer. Whether it is simply recycling it to keep it out of a landfill or repurposing it for education, the impact of your decision has a real impact on our world. ABSOLUTE SECURITY makes the decision easy.
Each time your Pass is used, the impact is measured and added to your personal Impact Statement on the Pass It On For Good website. It's also added to our TOTAL IMPACT of this project! Login, enter your impact ID#, and watch your impact grow! There is no time limit to your Pass, and each pass can be recharged for additional usage when it reaches its max.
The simple fact is that extending the life of your old computer for education has a real, measurable impact on our environment, on energy, on water, and on children's education. By keeping your old computer out of a landfill and displacing the production of a new computer, you are making the choice to do something good, something that has a real impact on the world around you. And then share your Pass or Impact Pass Number with family and friends, and Pass on your decision to make an impact on this world. As they clean out their closets using your Impact Pass #, watch your impact grow at www.passitonforgood.com! There is no limit to how much impact your decision can make!
If you need any convincing of the problem of E-waste, and the risk of not properly erasing your hard drive, watch these:
What is the impact of your decision?
Every computer that is saved from a landfill makes an impact. Computers that are re-purposed for education displace the production of another computer, which saves:
- At least one computer from entering a landfill
- 3,000 pounds of water
- 520 pounds of fossil fuel (gasoline)
- 48 pounds of chemicals comprising half the periodic table
- One repurposed computer for education can reach up to 3,000 children with educational content!
Pass it on For Good is a social technology initiative that allows you to SECURELY pass on your old, unwanted computer for education, resale, or recycling, without compromising your PERSONAL IDENTITY, by using our world class data erasure technology, Obliterase. And then SHARE your Pass with your Facebook friends or on Twitter to maximize the impact of your decision by letting others join your effort!
Who can use Pass It on for Good?
Anyone who has an unwanted computer!
Individuals, families, small businesses, Enterprise, Government - All can benefit and participate in making a difference.
Churches and local clubs! Run your own computer drives and work together to do better!
STUDENTS! Help your parents clean out their closets!
School Teachers! Get a Gold Pass and get your students involved! What a great, fun learning experience!
Businesses! Give your employees Passes! Show them you care about them and help them make an impact on this world! Use a Pass within your business before replacing your older computers!
How does it work?
1. First, get your old computer out of the closet.
2. Boot it up, and connect it to the internet (not required, but it is how we measure your impact!)
3. Plug your Pass into a USB port, and launch the "Pass IT on for Good" software.
4. Once launched, input your Impact Pass Number to register your computer on our servers. The software checks your computer's health and looks at what hardware your computer has.
5. We compare your hardware with the minimum requirements for our educational partner, The World Computer Exchange, and give you the choice of repurposing for education or recycling with a Certified recycler.
6. Then your hard drive is erased, SECURELY and ABSOLUTELY, using our data erasure technology, OBLITERASE. Depending on you and/or your organization's need for compliance, you can choose one of the 17 algorithms to completely erase your personal or confidential information to protect your personal identity or company information. Review the "Security" section below for detailed information about how our technology meets your security needs and compliance.
7. Once your hard drive is securely erased, you will receive a Certificate of Erasure via email for your records. This certificate certifies that your computer was properly sanitized of ALL data and operating systems.
8. If you chose to re-purpose your computer for education, a new operating system will be installed including educational content specific for the destination of your computer. Please review our educational content description below for more information.
9. Once your computer is ready for re-purposing or recycling, we will email you detailed information as to where to take it, or where to ship it. (We provide packaging labels and printed instructions if we meet one of our stretch goals.)
10. And then SHARE, SHARE SHARE to maximize the impact of your decision and watch your impact grow!
SECURITY - Hitting your "delete" button does not delete your data!
The security of your data, personal information, and company information stored on hard drives is our first and foremost concern. Hitting your "delete" button does not actually delete your data - it merely removes the road signs pointing to how to get there.
Using our erasure technology removes the risk of losing personal and confidential data to hackers.
We have integrated our Enterprise version of Obliterase to allow you or your organization to meet and exceed any government compliance you need to meet. Our Enterprise Edition includes 17 different algorithms to choose from that meet or exceed the following government standards:
Certificate of Erasure
Upon successfully erasing your hard drive, you will receive a Certificate of Erasure at the email address you provide. The Certificate is your proof that your computer was completely erased using the algorithm your chose. The Certificate identifies the computer by Serial number, and provides a detailed list of the hardware components that were present on the computer when the erasure software was run.
Hardware Compatibility
Minimum hardware requirements:
- x86 microprocessor based computer
- CD or DVD drive, and the capability to boot from this drive or bootable USB
- 400 MHz processor or faster
- at least 256 MB of memory (RAM)

NCI President Offers Seminar on the Importance of Nightlife Culture Next Week.
The Nightlife Cultural Initiative (NCI) in cooperation with the Responsible Hospitality Institute (RHI) will be hosting a webinar next Tuesday entitled "The Business and Culture of New York Nightlife."
The goal of this discussion is to tie the public support of nightlife with its economic success. A strong nightlife industry stimulates job creation, tourism and cultural development. However, if public perception focuses only on the negative aspects of nightlife and ignores the benefits, the entire industry and its related markets can suffer. The city as a whole can be weakened. This webinar will highlight the cultural benefits nightlife brings to any city and explain the challenges that nightlife currently faces in New York City.
The speaker, Gamal Hennessy, is the President of NCI and author of the book Seize the Night. RHI is a nonprofit organization founded in 1983 with a mission to assist businesses and communities to plan safe and vibrant nightlife areas. This webinar is part of RHI's Sociable City program which includes regular discussions online and in conferences designed to enhance and facilitate hospitality and nightlife nationwide.
Anyone interested in participating in this or any other Sociable City event can find more information on their registration page.
Have fun.

By Shannon McMahon, Boston Globe
We have Boloco, Anna's Taqueria and El Pelón. It's pretty clear Bostonians love their Mexican food. But how does the quality of a Boston burrito stack up against the likes of Southern California taco shops or Texas cantinas?
Thanks to statistician Nate Silver, there's data on that now.
According to Silver's website and blog FiveThirtyEight.com, there are 67,391 restaurants in the United States that serve a burrito. In Silver's ongoing quest to find the country's best one, the El Pelón Taquería burrito has been named number four.
The Fenway restaurant landed a top five spot behind one Las Vegas and two California burrito joints. At number four, El Pelón is immediately followed by thirteen California-based restaurants.
Silver's search for 'numero uno' entails a lengthy analysis. FiveThirtyEight first gathered Yelp scores and created a country-wide "Burrito Selection Committee'' to scout restaurants and vote on burritos. The committee's "burrito experts'' narrow it down to 16 contenders per region, making a 64-restaurant bracket.
After the bracket was created, one lucky journalist – Hispanic-American culture expert Anna Barry-Jester – was assigned to taste each competing burrito, then rank and document them. "Value Over Replacement Burrito,'' or "VORBs'' are the units used to rank each burrito. A VORB is given to the burritos a taster favors over competitors and is based on Yelp reviews.
Once all is said and done, each is ranked by the amount of VORBs it receives, and the rest is delicious history.
Silver said on his website: "This project involves a mix of seriousness and whimsy. Anna and I both have a lifelong obsession with Mexican-American food. We also know that burritos are not a matter of great national importance.''

i think i have everything to work now except 1 thing ... as i said earlier, i am adding a single point to a 3d surface plot. the display that the 3d surface plot is on uses ScalarMaps to map Display.RGB and Display.ZAxis to the same RealType for representing the Z axis. i cannot figure out how to set the color of this point that i added to the plot. right now it always sets the color based on where it is on the Z axis because of the Display.RGB that is mapped to the RealType for Z. I was curious if there is an easy way for me to leave the 3D surface plot colored like it is now (based on where each point is on the Z axis), but to have this single point always be a certain color (Green). thanks a lot, -Mike On Thu, 2002-08-01 at 17:57, Bill Hibbard wrote: > Mike, > > > i guess now i am having a hard time figuring out where the actual x,y,z > > values go for the point i want to add. > > > > do i use a FlatField(FunctionType) to create a flatfield and put the > > samples in there by setSamples(float[3][1], false) where > > > > float[3][1] = { {x}, {y}, {z} } > > > > ? > > > > then i set the data of the datareference to that flatfield? > > No. Construct a RealTuple with the x, y, z values.

Pet Diet & Nutrition Health
Proper dietary choices and nutrition are the cornerstone of good health. Nutrition has historically been the most misunderstood and overlooked aspect of veterinary medicine. With a plethora of options regarding pet nutrition on the market, choosing an appropriate diet can be overwhelming for any owner. Unfortunately, many pet food companies only cater to the public's ideas of what are appealing choices as though the pets were human. This is a phenomenon known as anthropomorphism - meaning the attribution of human characteristics, personal choices, and beliefs are applied to our animal family members. Pet food marketing companies have done a great job at emphasizing emotion through anthropomorphism, even when these are unhealthy or unnecessary choices for your pet.
Here at Advanced Animal Care of Colorado it is our responsibility to help you as a consumer make informed decisions on nutrition. We accomplish this by helping you understand what your individual pet needs are based on its breed, age, health, and concurrent environmental factors. We can help you understand how to read pet food labels in order to better understand your choices and keep your pets as happy and healthy as possible.
If a home cooked diet is something you are interested in, at Advanced Animal Care we utilize the Nutrition Support Consulting Service via the University of California at Davis. Through this service we are able to tailor specific home-cooked diet choices that ensure balanced nutrition and safety based on the individual needs of your pet.
For commercial diets, we believe very strongly in the Royal Canin brand of nutrition based on their reputation, focus on research and development, product testing at all stages of production from raw materials through the final product, palatability, continual improvement, and lack of recalls on their line of products. Royal Canin has consumer (over the counter) as well as veterinary specific diet choices and this makes for easy diet transitions based on changing pets throughout their lifetimes.
Proper nutrition is a fundamental aspect of preventable care. Feeding your pet an individually catered diet can prevent a multitude of conditions and avoid expensive medical treatments and procedures in the future. We would always prefer to treat a medical disorder with nutrition first, vs leaning on long term medications. Ideally, we would prefer to prevent medical problems first, which is what Royal Canin has focused on when formulating their diets.

Haglöfs Rugged Mountain Pant (2013)
Rugged by name and rugged by nature, the Haglöfs Rugged Mountain Pant has been popular with hillwalkers and backpackers for some years, thanks to its very practical design. You don't get the stretchy fabric of some other options, so these won't suit mountaineers and scramblers; but they do have stretch waterproof and hard-wearing panels in the knees and seat to give a little more comfort and protection. The waist has some elastication and belt loops, and is very comfortable. There is no diamond crotch panel, but this area was comfortable enough for me. The ankle cuff has a lace loop as well as webbing adjustment, although I think a zipped gusset panel would make it even better as the lower leg is quite wide and perhaps a removable internal gaiter would be useful. There are two large thigh pockets and these are superb for maps. At the back of the leg you get zipped vents, which are very useful, although a mesh gusset in here would be good. Overall the Haglöfs Rugged Mountain Pant is great for walking and backpacking in the hills and extremely durable, which means you can live in them for months on the trail.
Fabric Climate (100% polyamide), Ventex waterproof panel
Colours dune, true black
Weight 756g (L)
Men's sizes XS-XXXL
Women's sizes 34-46
Website www.haglofs.com
The Haglöfs Rugged Mountain Pant is a rugged trouser without stretch that's excellent for hillwalking and backpacking, particularly if you like thigh pockets.

Jain, Varsha, Parr, Gerard, Bustard, David and Morrow, Philip (2010) Deriving a Generic Energy Consumption Model for Network Enabled Devices. In: National Conference on Communications. IEEE. 5 pp. [Conference contribution]
Energy saving has become a global issue when people use network enabled equipment in the office or at home. However few methods exist to measure and monitor energy use per user or per application, or to control equipment power states. We propose a generic energy consumption model that is based on the power state of network attached equipment, and that supports power management capabilities. This includes measures for each power state (on/off/sleep) and for per bit energy consumption, per interface, per application and at the network QoS (Quality of Services) level. Given the power state of a network device, a network manger could remotely inspect the energy consumption and make changes to the power management setting; for this to happen we introduce a new MIB (Management Information Base) schema to capture the attributes of relevance. Using an agent based modeling framework, we introduce the overall autonomic architecture that makes it possible to minimize energy consumption of network enabled equipment.
