McCreless Art Gallery Celebrates Newest Additions
Archived June 5, 2009
The University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) hosted an event in celebration of the newest additions to the McCreless Art Gallery on April 19 in the university's J.E. & L.E. Mabee Library.
Among the pieces added to the collection are "The Three Mary's of the Tomb" ca. 1820-1830, a painting from the circle of Francesco Hayez, the "Virgin Hodegetria" a carved relief of the Madonna and Child from the 14th century, and "The Descent from the Cross" a woodcut ca. 1520. A total of twelve new pieces have been added to the collection.
"The Three Mary's of the Tomb" is attributed to the circle of Francesco Hayez, one of the 19th century's premier artists, known for his portraits, political allegories, and historical and religious paintings. This painting in particular was once rescued from an Italian monastery. It is rich in symbolism and represents the three Biblical Mary's; Mary the Mother of Jesus, Mary Magdalene and Mary Salome.
The "Virgin Hodegetria" (Greek for "shows the way") is a carved relief by an anonymous sculptor of the Madonna and Child in Istrian marble. The piece dates from the 14th century and depicts Mary holding the Christ Child and gesturing toward him with her right hand indicating that he is the way to salvation. Part of the Virgin's face and right hand of the Christ Child are worn away from centuries of adoration by the devout.
"The Descent from the Cross" is a woodcut from the 16th century. Woodcuts represent a printmaking technique where an image is carved into a flat wooden block, covered in ink, and pressed onto paper. This piece is attributed to Ugo da Carpi who was the premier woodcut master of the Italian Renaissance. It was once in the collection of Frederick Augustus II, the King of Saxony, and da Carpi's works are featured in many world renowned museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and The National Gallery in Washington DC.
The McCreless Gallery established at the university by Dr. Glen and Andrea McCreless features medieval and Renaissance art. It opened in 2006 with the unveiling of "The Madonna of the Book" ca. 1480s attributed to the studio of Sandro Botticelli. In 2007, the Gallery received recognition for the addition of a fresco portrait of St. Leonard ca. 1320 which was once owned by newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst. The McCrelesses were recognized in 2007 by the national Art & Antiques magazine as one of the nation's top 100 art collectors whose philanthropic efforts are changing the face of the art world. The goal of their collection on loan to the university is to share the arts with society's younger generations.
The McCreless Gallery is free and open to the public during regular library hours.

UIW Statement on Swine Flu
Archived May 18, 2009
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have identified human cases of swine Influenza (H1N1) in both the United States and internationally. Additionally, there have been two confirmed cases in Guadalupe County near San Antonio. University campuses must be vigilant given the close nature and high interactivity nature of the university setting.
Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by a type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza among pigs. Swine flu viruses do not normally infect humans; however, human infections with swine flu do occur. Public health officials have determined that this strain of swine flu virus spreads from human to human and can cause illness. The outbreak is ongoing and additional cases are expected.
The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu in humans and may include:
- Fever (greater than 100°F or 37.8°C)
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Stuffy nose
- Chills
- Headache and body aches
- Fatigue
Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. Severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.
People entering the United States who are experiencing symptoms consistent with swine flu and have traveled to an affected area (see http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu/investigation.htm for affected areas), or have been exposed to someone possibly infected with swine flu, during the last 7 days should report their illnesses to their health care provider immediately and inform them of their recent travel.
People traveling from the United States to affected areas should be aware of the risk of illness with swine flu and take precautions.
To prevent the spread of swine flu:
- Avoid contact with ill persons.
- When you cough or sneeze, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or your sleeve (if you do not have a tissue). Throw used tissues in a trash can.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
- After you cough or sneeze, wash your hands with soap and water, or use an alcohol-based hand gel.
- If you think you are ill with flu, avoid close contact with others as much as possible and stay at home. Seek medical care if you are severely ill (such as having trouble breathing). There are antiviral medications for prevention and treatment of swine flu that a doctor can prescribe. Do not go to work, school, or travel while ill.
You are encouraged to look at the following source for additional and more specific information:

Extended Academic Programs to Provide Free Textbooks
Archived April 15, 2009
Beginning Summer 2009, undergraduates enrolled in the University of the Incarnate Word's Adult Degree Completion Program (ADCaP) and the Universe Online will receive free textbooks. ADCaP and Online will be transitioning from the traditional bound textbook to e-books in the summer terms.
The average cost of textbooks is approximately $100 per class. Many students take two classes in each eight week term, so they are saving about $200. This can lead to a $1200 over the six terms offered each year. "We are very excited to be offering this benefit to our students. During this tough economic time, we continue to look for ways to assist UIW students with their higher education expenses," said Dr. Cyndi Wilson Porter, Vice President for Extended Academic Programs.
UIW's Extended Academic Programs was created for busy adult students who could not otherwise attend college. The program brings convenience and affordability to those students who attend. ADCaP and Online have always had a "no fees" policy and with the addition of free textbooks, the path to each student's degree is now even less expensive.

UIW Announces Next Step for School of Optometry
Archived April 7, 2009
The University of the Incarnate Word announced today, that its School of Optometry has received pre-accreditation approval to begin its doctoral professional program. The formal announcement was made at a 2 p.m. press conference in the Special Collections Suite of the J.E. and L.E. Mabee Library on the UIW campus.
The approval was granted by the Accreditation Council on Optometric Education of the American Optometric Association. UIW can now pursue student recruitment, selection and admissions.
"Preliminary approval is granted to a professional degree program that has clearly demonstrated it is developing in accordance with Council standards," said the Association in a statement.
The optometry program expects to enroll between 50 and 60 students in its inaugural class. It will also offer students an opportunity to pursue a Spanish certificate, which will help fill a void for the Spanish-speaking residents of this region, said Dr. H. S. Ghazi-Birry, the school's founding dean.
The school's facilities will be housed in two locations. The primary 60,000 square foot location will be in the heart of the San Antonio Medical Center. It will include the academic headquarters and one of two clinical facilities. The second location will be a 30,000 square foot clinical facility on San Antonio's East Side. While each location will offer a wide range of optometric services, they will also have a special commitment to pediatric eye care and low vision services, as there is an acute need for both locally.
In conjunction with the doctor of optometry program, UIW will launch a Bachelor of Science degree program in Vision Science. Its curriculum, structure and content will provide graduates with a strong foundation in the science of vision and suitable credentials to embark on a biomedical graduate research career, or to enter the workforce as a vision-science or ophthalmic-related specialist.
The BS in Vision Science will also provide students with an opportunity to earn a degree that will satisfy the requirements for entrance in the School of Optometry as well as other health-related professional programs, such as medicine and dentistry, offered through other colleges.
"This is another significant milestone for us," said UIW President Louis J. Agnese Jr. "Along with nursing and pharmacy, optometry advances our historical Mission in health care. And with the country's economy reeling, our optometry program is positive news for San Antonio."
The economic impact of the UIW optometry program on San Antonio over a 10-year period is conservatively estimated at nearly $300 million.
Texas, while second to California in population, currently has just one other optometry school. UIW's will be one of 20 on the United States mainland, and will be the only one located at a faith-based university. No optometry program has been established in the U.S. in nearly three decades.
The School's Mission is to educate and prepare future leaders in optometry through excellence in education, patient care, vision research and public service, within a context of faith and personal development.

In Fall 2008, the University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) was awarded a $600,000 grant from the National Science Foundation Scholars in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) Program. This grant, the largest scholarship grant the UIW department of mathematics has ever received, has been used to implement a Mathematics Scholars Program (MSP). The goal of the MSP is to increase the number of academically talented but financially needy students who enter the workforce upon receiving a baccalaureate degree in mathematics or who enter graduate schools.
"This program will be very helpful for students who want to receive the high quality education found at UIW but also want to reduce the financial burden on their family and themselves, said Dr. Zhanbo Yang, primary investigator and director of UIW's MSP program.
Applications are now being accepted. Scholarships will be available beginning Fall 2009. The MSP recruits candidates from local high schools, junior colleges, and from existing students on campus. MSP Scholars are selected by a committee, and scholarships will amount to up to $8,750 per student for up to four years. Scholars are supported through a variety of university and MSP-specific initiatives to ensure their success at UIW. MSP also funds initiatives for career developments, such as visiting local companies, inviting speakers and internship placements.

Record Spring Enrollment Posted
Archived February 24, 2009
The University of the Incarnate Word (UIW) has experienced yet another record enrollment for Spring 2009, one more sign of UIW's continued growth in these economically challenging times.
Total enrollment for the spring semester is 6,248 students, an increase of nearly 450 students from the same term in 2008. This includes more than 260 more undergraduates and 187 graduate students compared with those enrolled at this time last year.
UIW continues to grow in part because of the addition of new, innovative programs in areas of high demand such as pharmacy, vision science and Hispanic marketing. UIW offers more than 70 undergraduate and graduate programs of study in a variety of formats including traditional day classes, evening courses aimed for working adults and online studies.
"The flexibility of our schedules, the quality of education our students receive and the affordability of our programs makes the University of the Incarnate Word a smart choice in today's tough economic times," said UIW President, Dr. Louis Agnese.
Affordability is also another component of UIW's success. While Incarnate Word is the fourth-largest private university in Texas, it has the lowest tuition rate among the six largest private universities in the state.

text: There aren't too many things that taste as yummy as a freshly grilled burger or hotdog on a warm summer day. Strangely, I have a charcoal grill in my garage that has barely been used though. Every time I think about using it, I change my mind because I don't want to drag it out and clean it up afterwords. The EZ Grill is a product specifically for lazy people like me. It's a 100% recyclable disposable instant grill that is great for summer beach gatherings, camping, dorm and apartment dwellers. The grill comes complete with foil pan, grill grate, stand and 100% natural charcoal without the additives, chemicals and fillers associated with traditional charcoal. EZ Grill's all-natural ingredients include carbon from rice, corn and wheat stalks, corn starch for binding and mineral oil for ignition. It is supposed to light with just one match and consistently cook for up to 1 ½ hours post ignition. The EZ Grill is available in regular size (1.81 lbs) and party size (3.31 lbs) for $4.99 and $9.99, respectively. It can be purchased at Winn-Dixie stores and at www.ezgrill.com. Who is up for a cookout?

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- An Idaho boy faces expulsion for bringing a knife to Lakes Middle School. Police said he threatened another student. It is the second incident in a month involving a knife in Coeur d'Alene schools.
The 13-year-old student is scheduled to be at a school board hearing to determine whether he will be expelled for bringing the knife to school.
The knife incident happened Wednesday at Lakes Middle School in Coeur d'Alene. The school's resource officer said the boy brought the knife to school. The officer said the boy held it up to the neck of a classmate in the lunch room. Coeur d'Alene Police determined the incident was more of a horse play situation instead of an intentional threat. The district said it is taking the matter very seriously and that there will be severe consequences for the student involved.
"We are constantly reminding students they cannot have knives in school. Even though knives in North Idaho are part of the culture of being out in the woods and hunting and fishing. But they cannot come to school for health and safety reasons," said Coeur d'Alene School District Superintendent Hazel Bauman.
Coeur d'Alene schools is partnering with police, parents, teachers and student to talk about ways to make schools safer. The task force is expected to meet sometime early next week.

How Airtime Safety Works
Thanks to all the users who tried out Airtime yesterday. Even though we anticipated people using the service in a variety of creative ways, we were still amazed by some of the stories you all shared with us and the interesting connections people have made on Airtime. Our goal is to create serendipity for our users and we hope you'll all continue to say hello to one another in fun, unique, interesting, imaginative, but always safe ways.
User safety at Airtime is a top priority for us and something we're proud to be investing in — our internal safety group is actually the largest team at the company. There have been some questions about what Airtime does to ensure user safety on the service, and we wanted to take a moment to share our process.
First, it's important to understand the difference between a direct call and a matched call. We refer to any video chat between two Facebook or Airtime friends as a direct call. We do not monitor direct calls on Airtime, allowing our users to always have private conversations with their friends.
Matched calls refer to video chats on Airtime between people who aren't Facebook or Airtime friends already. Since it's likely the two people in a matched call don't know each other, we take periodic screenshots during the video chat to monitor for any inappropriate conduct. Screenshots are taken for all matched calls and we only take screen captures, not video or audio recordings, as part of our safety measures.
These screenshots are then run through an automated, algorithmic review process which utilizes a variety of custom technologies including face detection and luminosity detection. We store these screenshots indefinitely to detect patterns in abuse and train our algorithmic systems. Screenshots that are flagged as problematic by our systems are first anonymized and reviewed by our team of trained safety professionals. Any misbehavior on the part of a user in a match will lead to their account being locked immediately. One strike and you're out. It's a strict policy, because of how seriously we take user safety.
Another key way we ensure safety is by tying people's behavior to an identity. In a matched call, we initially keep the name of each person anonymous. If, during the video chat, one side requests to add the other person to their Airtime friend list and the other person accepts that request, then the names of each person are revealed to the other. But even when your name is anonymized, your account on Airtime is still tied to your Facebook account and identity and so you're always accountable for your behavior.
If you have any further questions about our safety policies, refer to our FAQ. After one day, we're happy that we've rarely had to enforce any of our policies despite a high volume of matched calls, and some of those were from curious users trying to test our safety systems in amusing ways. If you believe your account was locked by mistake, please contact us and we'll take a look.

Last year, Dropcam released a decent little $149 webcam called the Dropcam HD. I got to test it out when the camera first came out, but the company has since released a number of upgrades and it's now an integral part of my household.
Now, Dropcam has a little something else for iOS users. The company just announced new scheduling and location-based camera control. The new options work specifically with the latest version of the Dropcam iOS app.
Oh—I can't tell you how wonderful this is. One of the things that bothered me about the Dropcam was that every time I moved in the living room, I would get a text message saying that there was motion detected. At home, I would unplug the camera to solve the problem. Unfortunately, about 60 percent of the time, I would forget to plug it back in when I went out.
Now the Dropcam can be turned off or on based on pre-determined settings such as location, time, or day. It can also be set to automatically turn off when you get home and turn on when you leave.
"We designed Dropcam so you can start streaming and recording just two minutes after you take it out of the box," said Greg Duffy, Dropcam's CEO and co-founder. "Now, by enabling scheduling and making Dropcam apps location-aware, we give customers more control over streaming. This was one of our most popular requests from customers, so we're happy to deliver these new features as part our ongoing strategy to make Dropcam smarter through software."
The Dropcam HD is a WiFi-based video camera that promises 720p streaming, night vision, digital zoom and two-way audio. The camera sells for $149 and offers free Basic service with real-time viewing, motion and sound detection, and email alerts. However, the company also offers stored footage for anywhere from 7 to 30 days, starting at $9.99 per month (or $99 per year).
Dropcam version 2.1 for iOS is now available. It's designed to work with all Dropcam models, including the Dropcam HD, Dropcam Echo, and Dropcam Original. Currently, the scheduling and location-based features are not available for Android users.

The company's first 4K Ultra HD OLED TV features WRGB OLED technology, smart TV and a bezel-less "Cinema Screen" design.

Did The CIA "Suicide" Aaron Swartz ??
- OtherNews
- uploaded: Jan 20, 2013
- Hits: 14
An intelligence analyst tells Press TV that rogue elements within the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are responsible for the assassination of American dissident Aaron Swartz. He also added that the US mainstream media has also turned a blind eye to the issue. US internet activist Aaron Swartz, who was an outspoken critic of US President Barack Obama's policies was recently found hanged in his apartment. The 26-year-old blogger and computer prodigy was found dead in his apartment in Brooklyn, New York City, on January 11. Swartz died weeks before he was scheduled to face a trial on accusations of hacking a website and downloading millions of academic papers. Brooklyn's chief medical examiner ruled the death a 'suicide by hanging,' but no further details were available about the mysterious death. Last year, Swartz openly criticized Washington and the Tel Aviv regime for launching joint cyber attacks against Iran. He was also critical of Obama's "kill list," a list of individuals who are suspected of terrorism by the US and are listed for targeted killing after final approval by the US president himself. Press TV has conducted an interview with Gordon Duff, senior editor of Veterans Today (Ohio) to have his opinion about the issue of Swartz's death.Join my facebook page to meet some great minds that share some really interesting stuff and keep on top of all the latest news ... https://www.facebook.com/groups/150094508451164/

Not just the CIA but many departments are to blame, because all the heads of government are complicit in the actions taken. If they weren't, those righteous ones would have turned them in by now. We need to rid our need for Federal government intervention and return to state by state rule, on in my case province by province.

Lowbrow is a widespread populist art movement with origins in the underground comix world, punk music, hot-rod street culture, and other subcultures. Lowbrow art often has a sense of humor - sometimes the humor is gleeful, sometimes impish, and sometimes it is a sarcastic comment. The single most common tactic that Lowbrow artists employ is to poke fun at convention. They know the "rules" of art, and consciously choose not to abide by them. If the test of time for legitimacy (as an artistic movement) means that Lowbrow speaks/spoke, in visual terms, to the millions of us who share a common cultural, symbolic language - albeit a "lower" or "middle" class, media-driven language - then, yes, Lowbrow is here to stay. Anthropologists will probably study Lowbrow in the future, to attempt to figure out late 20th and early 21st century U.S. societal influences.May 18th, 2012

For non-US Healthcare Media
Ingelheim/Germany, New York City/USA, 15 June 2011 — On 15 June 2011, results by Singh et al from a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials was published in British Medical Journal.
Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer disagree with the authors' conclusion that this meta-analysis proves a risk for tiotropium delivered via the soft mist inhaler Respimat® in COPD patients. Efficacy and safety of Spiriva® Respimat® has been established by a stand alone clinical development program and is fully described in the approved product label.
The authors' conclusions are not based on new clinical evidence. Data from the five clinical trials used in this meta-analysis are already publicly available, have been submitted to the regulatory agencies and are appropriately reflected in the Spiriva® Respimat® label. When analyzing the clinical data, Boehringer Ingelheim and Pfizer – unlike the authors of the publication – have access to detailed patient level data. A thorough analysis of these data revealed a statistically non-significant, numerical imbalance in number of fatal events with Spiriva® Respimat®. Mortality rates observed in the analyzed studies were within the range of other large COPD trials. These data have been submitted to regulatory authorities worldwide and findings are fully described in the approved product label.
Boehringer Ingelheim is currently conducting the large clinical TIOSPIR trial including approximately 17.000 randomized patients to confirm efficacy and safety of Spiriva® Respimat®. This study has been released by regulatory authorities including the FDA and national ethic committees. An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board reviewed the TIOSPIR study recently as part of a regular procedure and recommended its continuation. Results of the trial are expected in 2014.
Furthermore, robust evidence has been published describing the safety profile of tiotropium HandiHaler® from a large series of randomized controlled trials including
These studies, separately and together, further corroborate the safety profile of Spiriva® delivered via HandiHaler® and demonstrate that its usage as maintenance treatment was associated with a reduced risk for an adverse event, serious adverse event and a fatal event. A reduced risk was also present for adverse events that were cardiac, lower respiratory and for a composite endpoint of major adverse cardiovascular events.
Spiriva® is a long-term maintenance therapy that patients with COPD can use on a daily basis to improve lung function and reduce the risk of developing exacerbations that can result in hospitalization and death.

About COPD
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive yet treatable disease that restricts patients' lives over time and is a major cause of death and disability throughout the world. Symptoms include cough, sputum (mucus or phlegm) production, and breathlessness on exertion. Acute worsening of these symptoms, i.e. exacerbations (sometimes referred to as COPD lung attacks due to their severe impact on patients' health) often occur and can restrict a patient's ability to perform normal daily activities. The latest World Health Organization (WHO) figures estimate that 210 million people are currently living with COPD and more than 3 million people died from the disease in 2005 – more than breast cancer and diabetes combined. Dyspnoea (breathlessness), the main symptom of COPD, is characteristically persistent and progressive and has a serious impact on patients' quality of life. At its most severe, it even limits a patient from performing simple tasks such as washing and dressing.
About Spiriva® (tiotropium)
Spiriva®, a long-acting inhaled anticholinergic medication, is the first inhaled treatment to provide significant and sustained improvements in lung function with once-daily dosing. Spiriva® positively impacts the clinical course of COPD, helping to change the way patients live with their disease. It is the most prescribed maintenance therapy for COPD worldwide. Spiriva® helps COPD patients breathe easier by opening narrowed airways and helping to keep them open for 24 hours. Spiriva® works through targeting of a dominant reversible mechanism of COPD – cholinergic bronchoconstriction.
Spiriva® is currently available for inhalation via HandiHaler® and Respimat®.

But it's not. Originally, I had planned to tell you the tale of how I created a Roegadyn named Arlyxir Somnambulist, and he was the happiest Conjurer in all of Eorzea after a few short weeks of play. I was going to tell you how I aimlessly wandered my way through the city of Gridania, with all of its strange travel crystals and awkward zone connections, and somehow managed to stumble my way out into the wilderness to do battle with some of the fiercest bees I've seen since the Greater Faydark days.
Sadly, it wasn't meant to be.
I only got to spend about six hours in this shiny new world, so my adventure ended somewhere around level 12. I was going to tell you about how much better A Realm Reborn is than the original Final Fantasy XIV launch was, and despite being graphically impressive it's rather lackluster and not very exciting to play but still manages to blow the doors off its original incantation.
Unfortunately, I can't.
I'm not able to complain about how unfamiliar most things in this game are unless you spent some time with Final Fantasy XI and therefore expect Square Enix not to give you much information while you're actually playing the game. I planned on being able to say the game leaves the new player trapped under the weight of a plethora of long winded context menus that are much easier explained by an accompanying wiki page or a strategy guide. I can't tell you that I spent far more of my playtime trying to figure out where to go next than I did actually killing things or rather fetching and returning things in that same old World of Warcraft style questing system to level up and explore new lands. I can't even tell you that combat was decent but confusing because regeneration wasn't always reliable, leaving me wondering if I'd somehow regen enough mana to cast more spells or not, despite the fight before having my mana regenerate to full simply by auto attacking a few times.
As much as I'd love to tell you that my fairly mediocre impression of Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn changed as I started to become more familiar with the game, I'm simply not able to. I would have loved to given you recounts about battling in dungeons, joining a Free Company, or simply having the chance group with other players – but I can't.
In fact, I can't really tell you anything about Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn because of Square Enix's baffling and ridiculously terrible account security and support system.
Let me go back just a little bit and tell you the story of my Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn tale. A few weeks ago I thought it would be interesting to stream some FFXIV gameplay for those of you who've noticed our "Now Playing" section. This is where we (though usually it's me) stream games on the FRONTBURNR Twitch channel so you can watch things we're playing live. Usually it's Josh Knowles and I playing League of Legends, but sometimes I switch it up and try to stream other things for the benefit of those who might subscribe (please subscribe?) to watch us fail miserably at pretty much every game we play. I reached out to our friends at GamersGate, and they were able to accommodate our request so we could check out Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. This was on October 7th, 2013.
I installed the client and started patching, and a little while later I built a character and logged off so I'd be ready to play the next night. I played for a few hours here and there and while not being enthralled, it seemed like FFXIV had potential to get better once you got closer to the end game. After playing for around six hours (on and off throughout the week) I left for a family vacation to Florida on October 11th, making sure to install the FFXIV client on my laptop so I could tinker with the game more while we had downtime at the hotel. Sure enough, downtime came on the second day of our trip, so I opened my laptop and launched the client to dive back into Eorzea for a little bit of (mis)adventure.
Unfortunately, something was wrong – I was greeted with the following screen:
Having absolutely no idea what this message meant, I started seeking support. After asking around on Twitter, 'Googling', and searching support forums, I wasn't able to find much assistance for this particular error. I put my laptop away for the night and figured I'd try to figure it out the next time I had a chance to sit down and play. The next morning I got the following email:

I went to the website and reset my password. While logged into the Lodestone, I noticed there was a new character on my account that I didn't create. I thought to myself about the good old days of World of Warcraft and gold seller bots hacking accounts and creating a new character that sits in chat and spams links to gold seller sites. Dealing with Blizzard's customer support was generally a painless experience and in the event something like this happened, they'd just restore the account and delete the nuisance character. I tried to log in and got the same message.
Still baffled, I reached out to one of the Square Enix PR team on Twitter, who instructed me that I'd need to go through their support process on the website. Shortly thereafter, I submitted a ticket asking for assistance and letting them know I had changed my password.
I received an automated email letting me know my issue would be handled in 2-3 business days, which wasn't a big deal since I was on vacation anyway. No replies from support, no assistance, no anything. On October 15th, I received the following email:

Wait, what? How did anything happen on my account on October 15th, when I had been getting the same login error since October 11th? Furthermore, how insulting is this line? "Unfortunately, you have shown yourself to be unwilling to follow the rules of the FINAL FANTASY XIV community."
I haven't done anything that violates anything except tried to play your game and recover my account that your terrible security allowed to get compromised.
My passwords are generally secure (especially as I've worked for the DoD and I'm familiar with their password policy) and the only other place I've seen intrusion like this was with World of Warcraft. At this point, I was at a loss for words. I did more research and found out there was an authenticator for this game similar to what Blizzard uses for Battle.net, so I installed it on October 16th, changed my password again, and then resubmitted a new ticket explaining that I had taken steps to once again secure my account (something Square Enix should be doing on their own) and I had installed their authenticator to prove I was serious about trying to keep my account safe.
On the same day, October 15th, I also received an email from support "answering" my first ticket – the one that I submitted on October 12th. Would you like to see it? I thought you might.

Thank you for contacting the SQUARE ENIX Support Center.
Lovely. An automated response to a very real inquiry. I'm glad to know that's all I'm worth to you as a potentially paying customer, Square Enix. Also, why is this thing full of characters that my email client can't comprehend in any format other than question marks? Is this written in Japanese? No worries, I thought. I had already submitted a second ticket, we'll just wait for that second ticket to go through since I had already explained the issue and maybe Square Enix customer support will grant me the playtime I've missed for this inconvenience back so that I can finish my review. This seems like a logical request, doesn't it?
I guess I was wrong. On October 17th, I received a reply to my second support ticket. Want to take a guess what it said? If you guessed "The same copy and paste answer as the last one" you're absolutely correct. It is now October 26th and I am still banned from Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. I still have not gotten a personal response to either of my support tickets. At this point, I've given up. My Collector's Edition mount will never be ridden, and Arlyxir will never know what it would have been like to transform into that White Mage I had planned for him to become.
While it's certainly inconvenient for my review, personally, I'm not even all that upset about the ordeal. I didn't pay for anything, so there's nothing much lost except some of my time. What horrifies me, is that Square Enix has no idea who I am or what I was doing. They have no idea that I'm a games writer trying to write about their game. I didn't have a special press account that had free game time or any other sort of special attention. GamersGate provided me with a retail copy of Final Fantasy XIV, and that put me on the exact same level as any other paying customer. To think that this happened to me means there are likely others out there who have been legitimately screwed out of their money thanks to Square Enix's terrible security and their even worse customer support. Those who are higher level in FFXIV seem to be enjoying the experience and I hope that it continues for them, but for those who aren't already playing, I'd say be wary of a chance of potentially being ripped off.
Guild Wars 2 is a game that I felt very similarly about: I thought was decent, but nothing spectacular. I gave it a good review, but noted that it seemed to forget that being social should partially be required for online only games. While I was reviewing it, Josh Knowles was also working on it, and we attempted to play together. He had some performance issues that kept him from being able to play, and ArenaNet reached out to him directly to solve the issue after he complained about it on Twitter. This doesn't mean I'm recommending one game over the other, it just means that there are companies out there who want your business and that's where your money should go – not to one that obviously doesn't care if you're a part of their world or not.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG)
A fast-casual restaurant chain, Chipotle Mexican Grill focuses on fresh and organic ingredients, tempting diners with gigantic burritos, salads, and more.
It seems the current share price is anticipating chipotle-level growth from the asian concept. While the asian concept is good (both the food and the business), it's unlikely to see the same level of growth as chipotle without either competing with chipotle locations or replacing them.

Reblogged from letmypeopleshow
Out of the Blue and Into the Black:
Most of the Western modernists who were driven to abstraction, whether Malevich or the Minimalists, arrived there by a compulsion to reduce, distill, and purge form of content.
In abstraction from other traditions, the form is the content, and geometric shapes, as well as colors, have highly coded symbolic and spiritual meanings. That's the case with the pre-Columbian Andean textiles that inspired Joaquín Torres-Garcia, Joseph Albers, Alfred Jensen, and so many other painters in the last century.
And it's also the case with the incredible Tantra paintings by anonymous artists from India on view at Feature Gallery through this weekend. These works, made between 1985 and 2009, were created as meditation tools to stimulate higher states of consciousness. This image, painted in Udaïpur, Rajasthan, in 2003, is known as a linga, an oval form that represents the deity Shiva.
Though the makers of these paintings conceive them as objects of veneration, not as art, they are aware that people in India and abroad appreciate them for their aesthetic qualities, says Feature director Hudson. Western artists as well have found inspiration in the way that these rigorous forms connect with spiritual practice and a cosmology far beyond the illusion of the picture plane. A concurrent show at the gallery, "Connected," presents the works of five such artists, who have been influenced by the kind of Tantra paintings in the show. Don't miss it.

Airbus Offering iPad EFBs
Airbus (Booth No. 2128) is offering iPad-based electronic flight bags (EFBs) for Airbus Corporate Jet (ACJ) aircraft. ACJ chief pilot Robin Pursey said the new EFB delivers more accurate V-speeds and better takeoff weight calculations. "The EFB is essential in today's world," Pursey said. "Paper charts are no longer of any value."
Pursey said the iPad was the ideal platform for EFB data because of its compact size and superior graphics compared to a traditional laptop EFB. Data for the ACJ EFB can be loaded through the Airbus Flight Smart system.
The ACJ EFB makes calculations based on real-time parameters, minimum equipment lists, configuration deviation lists and Airbus algorithms that are guaranteed accurate. More precise calculations from the EFB can deliver significant operational cost and time savings, Pursey said. The EFB can also be used to provide load and trim sheet calculations and display complete aircraft systems diagrams and information from aircraft manuals. An Airbus spokesman declined to reveal the price of the EFB.

World record holders Tatiana Volosozhar and Maxim Trankov won the gold medal in pairs figure skating in Sochi on Wednesday, and their Russian teammates Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov took the silver.
The heavily favoured duo put in an almost flawless performance to the delight of the crowd. Their score of 152.69 was only two points off of their own world record.
Ksenia Stolbova and Fedor Klimov took the silver. Bronze went to the German duo of Aliona Savchenko and Robin Szolkowy, the silver medallists four years ago in Vancouver.
Two Canadian teams put in strong performances but finished just off the podium.
Canadians Kirsten Moore-Towers and Dylan Moscovitch finished in fifth with a score of 131.18, and their Canadian teammates Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford came in seventh with a season's best score of 127.32 for them.
But the night belonged to Russia and Russian skating fans, with the world champions Volosozhar and Trankov adding to Russia's medal haul from figure skating events.
"This is a very special moment in our lives, to be skating in a Russian Olympics," Trankov said after their short program performance.
Canadians Paige Lawrence and Rudi Swiegers, both from Saskatchewan, skated earlier and put up a score of 103.01 after a few small missteps.

Nearly 700 bags of heroin hidden under 5-year-oldFebruary 02,2014By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
WESTMINSTER - A Springfield woman was jailed after police said they found nearly 700 bags of heroin beneath her child's car seat.
Eugenia Emerson, 33, is facing a felony charge of heroin trafficking after police stopped her on Interstate 91 Saturday night for what they described as defective equipment and a lane violation.
While stopped, police walked a canine unit around the exterior of the car, and when the dog signaled there were drugs inside, Emerson gave police permission to search her car, police said.
According to police, they found 690 bags of heroin under the cushion where her 5-year-old child was seated.
Emerson was taken to Springfield jail on $5,000 bail. She was free as of Sunday afternoon, according to the Department of Corrections.
Emerson is scheduled to appear March 18 in Brattleboro criminal court. Police also issued her tickets for defective equipment and a lane violation.MORE IN This Just InAn alleged fight outside a bar between Red Sox and Yankees fans has led to the suspension of two...
