Inaugural Kohn lecture mixes disciplines
Thursday afternoon, April 6, Beasley School of Law professor Peter H. Huang will deliver the inaugural Harold E. Kohn Lecture: "Unexpected Values of Lawsuits: A Real Options Model of Litigation and Settlement." Huang, a recent recruit to the Law School faculty from the University of Minnesota Law School, will examine a hot subject: the use of real options techniques — tools used in finance and economics — to design strategies to maximize returns in complex, multi-staged legal situations.
Huang's real options work, like much of his scholarship, explores the intersections of seemingly disparate disciplines, from law and behavioral economics to law and emotions. It was the open-mindedness of Temple Law's faculty to these emerging fields that helped bring Huang to Temple.
"Sometimes people find new ideas hard to accept," Huang said. "That wasn't the case here at Temple. The faculty and students have been receptive and curious, and the atmosphere is intellectually open."
WHEN: April 6, 4 p.m.
WHERE: Klein Hall, Duane Morris LLP Moot Court Room.

'Mediating Practices' weeklong festival
Next Tuesday through Friday, Temple will host a weeklong festival of film screenings, theater performances and presentations that center around the question "What's next?" in the arts and praxis of cultural representation.
The activities begin with a daylong symposium on Tuesday, April 11, in Ritter Hall Annex, Kiva Auditorium. The festival concludes on Friday with screenings of new films and visual media by students in the Student Center, room 217C. In between are a three-hour symposium on April 12 featuring several Temple faculty members and moderated by acting College of Liberal Arts Dean Philip Alperson, many film screenings including Rebecca Baron's How Little We Know of Our Neighbors (left), showing April 13, and much more.
For a schedule of events and details about panelists, go to http://astro.temple.edu/~rcoover/MediatingPractices.html.
'Brother Outsider' documentary
The documentary Brother Outsider: The Story of Bayard Rustin casts light on a major organizer of the 1963 March on Washington and an essential architect of the nonviolent civil disobedience that sustained and succeeded in the civil rights movement in the United States of the 1960s and '70s.
On Sunday, April 9, the film and media arts department will co-host a screening that includes an appearance by filmmaker Bennett Singer of the Bayard Rustin Project in New York.
WHEN: April 9, 3 p.m.
WHERE: Restoration Unitarian-Universalist Church, 6900 Stenton Ave., at the corner of Gorgas Lane.
Lose yourself in Paley's new Leisure Reading Collection
Are you a mystery buff or a sci-fi aficionado? Do you like to keep up with the latest bestsellers, both nonfiction and fiction?
In conjunction with National Library Week, April 3–9, Paley Library introduced its new Leisure Reading Collection on Monday, located on the main floor of the library.
The collection already offers approximately 1,300 titles, from New York Times bestsellers to Harry Potter. Within a few months, some 2,000 titles will be available. Thereafter, about 100 newly published titles will be added each month.
"This is something that students, faculty and staff have been asking about for many years," said Larry Alford, vice provost for libraries. "I am delighted that we are now able to do it. We want to provide books for pleasure as well as for scholarship, and to be the Temple community's home library in every sense of the word."
The collection is immediately visible on Paley's main floor. The books will have simple call numbers and are loosely grouped in fiction, nonfiction and biography categories. They also are fully searchable in the Diamond online catalog.
The Leisure Reading books may be checked out for four weeks, with one renewal of four weeks.

More opportunities for medical rotations
This fall, Temple medical students can elect to do all of their required rotations at St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem, Pa. (above), allowing them to live and work in one location during their entire third and fourth years of medical school.
Previously, Temple students were able to rotate at St. Luke's in certain disciplines: emergency medicine, family medicine, internal medicine, ob/gyn, and surgery. The new arrangement adds neurology, pediatrics and psychiatry to the rotation mix.
St. Luke's is the School of Medicine's third clinical campus and the first in northeastern Pennsylvania. Clinical campuses at Crozer-Chester Medical Center and Western Pennsylvania Hospital were established in 2000.

Temple to host sociolinguistics conference
In an area of study known as experimental linguistics, changes in language can be observed everywhere, from blogs to verbal communications within immigrant populations. At the Third International Workshop in Spanish Sociolinguistics at Temple on April 6–9, scholars from as far as Spain, Canada and California will discuss specifically how the Spanish language has morphed and interacted within various subsets of the population.
Jonathan Holmquist, chair of the Spanish and Portuguese department, said that the department's large size, broad research interests and the University's East Coast location has made Temple a prime location to host the conference, which was held previously in Albany, N.Y.
More language students than ever are choosing Spanish over other languages, Holmquist said, a reflection of the growing importance of Spanish worldwide, culturally and in the business realm. The workshop will feature about 40 presenters, including three plenary speakers and a keynote address by William Labov, a well-known linguist from the University of Pennsylvania.
The conference is sponsored by the department of Spanish and Portuguese, the Center for the Humanities, the Center for International Business Education and Research and the Faculty Senate Lectures and Forums Committee.

Fox School conference dedicated to alternative bottom line: Doing good
On April 11, The Fox School's inaugural Conference on Social Entrepreneurship will unite academic experts, business leaders and the Temple community in pursuit of a different kind of bottom line — doing good.
"The conference goes beyond the student audience. We want to facilitate discussion between the community and nonprofit leaders," said T.L. Hill, the Enterprise Management Consulting project faculty director who will serve as moderator.
This conference, sponsored by The Fox School's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute, will feature speakers from for-profit and nonprofit companies:
• Chip Roach, the former chair of Prudential Fox & Roach Realtors. Temple has been providing Roach with space at TUCC to develop A Better Philadelphia, an organization he started to end youth violence.
• Sister Mary Scullion, co-founder and executive director of Project Home, an organization with which The Fox School has close ties. Every year, Temple's Phi Beta Lambda, the collegiate-level chapter of Future Business Leaders of America, runs a Thanksgiving food drive for Project Home. For last year's drive, the students collected about 3,000 food items.
• Neil Batiancila, a Fox M.B.A. student and the deputy director of operations for City Year Philadelphia, a group dedicated to mobilizing students in the Philadelphia School District for community service.
The Fox School's emphasis on social entrepreneurship extends beyond the conference. One-third of the Enterprise Management Consulting projects, for which students consult for real companies, are for social endeavors such as the Natural Lands Trust.
Also, currently The Fox School offers a graduate course in sustainable business practices, which emphasizes respect by business for the environment. And next year, as part of the school's proactive stance on ethics, a new graduate-level course will debut on social entrepreneurship.
"We will explore not just how to be an ethical businessperson, but also how the structure, ownership and operations of a firm can affect its impact in a community," Hill said. "A dynamic organization — whether for-profit or nonprofit — uses business disciplines to do well while doing good."
WHERE: Student Center, room 200
WHEN: April 11, 8–11 a.m.
To register for the event, go to www.sbm.temple.edu/iei/sec-register.html, e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call the IEI at 215-204-3082.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
What you've gotta ask yourself is - will the AH prices go up or down? Their may be more people grinding, to get the normal items, plus the new items, so prices should drop. Or will the prices go up because people know their are alot of twinks willing to pay 50s for something really only worth 10s. Just 5 secs work to a level 70 char, or upto 120 kills for a low level?
This could really damage lower level non-twinks ability to easily get the same stuff they could have got on patch 2.2. So your making 20-60s lifes easier on the XP side, but 1-20 on the equipment side...
Hopefully blizz have everything worked out though!

Orthopaedics at CDH
Winfield, Ill., December 13, 2012 – Cadence Health, the health system created through the merger of Central DuPage Health and Delnor Community Health System, announced today that Chris Hensley has been appointed President of the Cadence Health Foundation. Mr. Hensley is the first President of the Cadence Health Foundation, which was formed following the merger of the CDH Foundation and Delnor Foundation.
"Chris' wealth of experience in various non-profit and health care settings combined with his management background will help guide the long-term growth of the Foundation," said Mike Vivoda, President and Chief Executive Officer, Cadence Health. "Under Chris' guidance, the Foundation's philanthropic efforts will help support the ongoing commitment by Cadence Health to provide excellent health care to the communities we serve."
Carrying on the rich philanthropic legacy at both hospitals, the Cadence Health Foundation will continue to partner with generous individuals, corporations and other foundations to bring outstanding, compassionate health care to the community.
Mr. Hensley, 42, most recently served as Regional Vice President of the American Cancer Society (ACS), the voluntary health organization dedicated to eliminating cancer. While at ACS, he was a member of the Illinois Division Leadership Team with responsibility for developing strategies and executing the organization's mission. During his tenure, Mr. Hensley led key initiatives that helped raise more than $8 million in 2012 and more than $50 million over the past nine years.
"This is an exciting time to join Cadence Health. This system provides excellent care for the health of the western suburbs, due in large part to the engagement of the communities we serve," said Chris Hensley, President, Cadence Health Foundation. "Going forward, philanthropy will play an even larger role to ensure we continue to offer the best care available as efficiently as possible. I look forward to leading that effort."
In addition to his health care experience, Mr. Hensley spent time working with State government, including four years serving as Deputy Chief of Staff for Illinois Lieutenant Governor Corinne Wood.
Mr. Hensley earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Lake Forest College and is currently pursuing his Masters of Arts in Public Policy and Administration from Northwestern University.

Sts Theodore Orthodox Christian Church
96 Los Robles Street, Williamsville, NY 14221
August 25 / September 7 2014
Apostles Barthplomew And Titus
Our community is...
Orthodox Christianity is the least-known and least-understood of the Christian confessions in America.
About 3 million Americans are Orthodox Christians.
We are neither Protestant nor Roman Catholic.
Orthodox Christianity began at Pentecost and has preserved the Apostolic Tradition "in its teachings, practices and authority" unchanged for 2000 years.
We believe that God has revealed Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit and that Jesus Christ is both God and man.
He took on our flesh, lived a sinless life, was crucified, rose from the dead and ascended to Heaven where He is today.
We believe, as the Fathers of the Church have ever affirmed since the earliest days of the Church, that "God became human, that man might become divine."
That is, that we are called to be, not just to be "nice" and "good" and "moral", but even to be united with God Himself through Christ, to be as St. Peter said, "partakers of the divine nature" (II Peter 1:4).
Some Orthodox communities in the U.S. have tried to shed some of their "Old World" trappings so as not to look so foreign. This is unfortunate, since the Church has always seen Her mission as transforming the world around Her, rather than conforming to it.
We do not use pews, since we need the open space to process and make prostrations.
We do not use musical instruments, because the words take precedence over the music.
All of our singing is a cappella, as it was in the early Church on up until the Middle Ages.
We follow the traditional Church calendar("Julian"), as do most Orthodox in the world today.
Orthodox communities are not just Greek and Russian and Eastern European. Orthodoxy has always existed unchanged in the Middle East.
There are also Japanese Orthodox, African Orthodox, Eskimos who are Orthodox.
Over half of our parish here consists of converts to the Faith, including our priest and his family.
So it's not just for Russians -- anyone can be Orthodox. In fact, since Western Europe used to be Orthodox, chances are your ancestors were Orthodox a thousand years ago!
If you are Russian, you will find lots of new friends to speak Russian with.
And if you are not, you will find that we're as American as apple pie.
Our services are entirely in English, except for the Nicene Creed and the Lord's Prayer, which are sung in both Slavonic and English.
We are blessed to say that our parish was the first English-language parish in the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad.
An Orthodox worship service is "heaven on earth". Our form of worship remains unchanged from Christ and the Apostles.
If you took a Christian from the first century "or from any time or place during the first millennium A.D, for that matter" they would be completely at home in our services, and vice versa.
Some of our hymns date back to the first century, and our services preserve the same ancient format of the earliest centuries.
To visit our services is not only to go back in time, as it were, but more importantly to be lifted out of time and space and into the presence of God Himself, to worship Him alongside the angels and all the saints who have gone before us.
Any description of a vision of Heaven in the Bible, -- whether Isaiah's vision in Isaiah 6 or St. John's vision in Revelation 4, -- shows the same elements that you'll find here: chanting, incense, candlesticks, falling on our faces before God.
We do not just imitate the heavenly worship; we actually participate in it.
So come worship with us! Rediscover the ancient Christian Faith of your ancestors!

A bicyclist was clipped by a vehicle while going over an overpass on Highway 69 in Bullard on Monday.
Bullard police say Mark Cathey, 57, of California, was riding on the northbound shoulder when a white Ford truck driven by 52-year-old Samuel Vercher, a Bullard resident, clipped Cathey. Vercher stopped and called 911. Cathey was taken to the hospital.
In the video from a camera mounted on the cyclist's bike, the truck can be seen approaching from behind Cathey, before clipping him.
"I remember riding up the overpass and I don't remember anything after that," Cathey said.
The 57-year-old grandfather was in Texas visiting family, when he went for a routine bike ride Monday morning. Cathey has been recording his rides for years: first to show people the sights along his rides, now as a safety measure.
"I've seen things happen in front of me that I've been able to get a license plate number or information," Carhey said.
He hopes the video will help show what cyclists go through and to alert drivers about the potential for these events.
Cathey's injuries are extensive. He suffered a collapsed lung, five broken ribs, and a broken scapula among other scrapes and bruises.
"It'll keep me off my bike for a while," Cathey said, but he plans to make a full recovery in eight to twelve weeks.
Vercher was cited for failing to maintain a single lane. Vercher called later to check on Cathey.
Cathey was taken to the hospital and has since been released.
The police chief says that this was not an intentional act.

You all know about best laid plans. Shall I just say I've been super busy? That is a good thing as it means I am doing what I love. Just realized I spoke about my grandmother's beading and I am working on a new piece, "Earthly Treasures" and have been sorting beads and faux pearls for weeks. Thank you Gra'mare for all those old faux pearl strands you cut apart, beaded and pearl bags that were falling apart, broken jewelry. She did magnificent bead work. Spent one whole morning sorting everything into color and kind and stored each in a see through plastic storage box. That was late last year.
For the sculpture, I am gluing each pearl, INDIVIDUALLY, using Industrial Strength E6000 adhesive over a rigid foam base. The old faux pearls represent the substrata. Next up will be assorted beads in pale pinks and mauves to represent sub-soil. Top layer will be deeper pinks, bronzes, and antique golds for the top soil. This "core" sample will be topped with feather snow on the mountain top around silvered trees. Found a divine glass dome at Restoration Hardware that will house the whole sculpture. At 20-inches high, it should show really well.
At the other extreme, my second piece for the CAEA-South Members Show is a small, only 7-inches high, sculpture called, "If It Walks Like a Duck." Made with an old child's tennis shoe, an orange plastic mini baseball cap, old puzzle pieces, and wired wood for the puppet handle, it is a whimsical addition to my assortment of work.
Have begun working at Bowers Museum of Cultural Art in their after school children's program and with their "Treasures" program for seniors aimed at low income groups. It all helps round out my experiences with different age groups. A highlight was when an aid with the kids asked if I had worked at Spurgeon Intermediate School. Another former pupil who is almost finished with her student teaching as a secondary art teacher. I was soooooo thrilled. She told me all about how wonderful my classes had been and how they influenced her future. Makes my heart feel full. If you have never had the opportunity to visit Bowers Museum, it is one of the top cultural museums in the country. Fabulous exhibits of art and artifacts from China, the near east, other regions of the world, jewels, costumes, you name it. Their traveling exhibits are wonderful and their collection of Pacific Island artifacts is awesome.
This summer promises to be full. As the Pacific Region Vice President for the National Art Education Association, I have a board meeting in Reston, Virginia in July. Preceding that, I will be conducting a summer leadership conference for my region in Vancouver, British Columbia—Canada is part of our NAEA. It is the first time one of these meetings has been held out of the country so everyone is super excited. It will be my first visit there—three times to Victoria, but never on the mainland. Vancouver is one of my Uncle Guy's favorite cities. He even contemplated retiring there but they opted for Hawaii instead. Will have an extra three days to explore with my friend, Cindy Allen, president of Nevada Art Education Association.
Am in the process of planning a trip in October. Will be going with my friend, Susan, to Paris where she is renting a small apartment. We will also spend a few days in the south of France visiting some friends of hers. Hope to have time to visit Arles, Avignon, and Les Beaux. Sasha and I found Les Beaux in 1999 and fell in love with it. A petite town built into the side of a limestone cliff. At the very top are the remains of a Roman lookout. Just below that, the remains of a feudal castle, and then the town. Many of the buildings front old cave homes, in the same vein as Cappadoccia in Turkey. After two weeks with Susan I will fly to Marrakesh where my sister, Trici, will be working on a commission for a London designer. We will be staying in his staffed villa complete with chauffeur, cook, maid, and guide. I am in seventh heaven. Had originally planned to go to Istanbul to see her—it's been six years—and then this came up. Did I hesitate? Hell, no. Another new place to visit. We should have a fabulous time even with her working on the drawings he has commissioned. Will spend two weeks with her before returning home.
Once home, will attend the CAEA conference. This year is a first. Three simultaneous conferences will be held in the three areas of the state. We will be on the campus of Idyllwild Arts Academy, one of my favorite places in the world. Hope to be presenting one or two workshops—waiting to hear. They are also hosting an art show for our members that will be up for the month. We are hopeful that having shows of our members' work will help educate the public that art teachers are artists, too. I was amazed when in Ft. Worth at the national convention to find out that many states do not require a degree in art to teach it on the secondary level.
Reading a fascinating book for those who love history. "A Short History of Byzantium" by John Julius Norwich, is a condensed version of his three volume tome on the same subject. Am learning all kinds of things I had wondered about such as: What the Holy Roman Emperor was and how it came about. What caused the split between the western and eastern Roman Empire and eventually the church. My, but it was a bloody period in history. And those old church popes, patriarchs, and emperors. Such a different approach to religion that espoused peace, love, and charity. I had no idea that the eastern empire/church was all Greek! Is giving me more understanding of what I see in Turkey.
Certainly hope I can be more consistent in posting. Your patience is appreciated. Until later.
My How Time Does Fly June 26th 2012

It doesn't seem possible that four months have passed since first I started on this new adventure. Today would have been my grandmother's 115th birthday. She only made it to 80 but she is remembered, still. Especially when I am working on one of my projects that involves sewing, embroidery, beadwork. It was from her I inherited those skills through my mother, although Mother did not do much embroidery of beadwork.
For those of you with a passion for the work of John Singer Sargent, you need to read "Strapless: John Singer Sargent and the fall of Madame X" by Deborah Davis. An historical novel, it tells the story of the painting of "Madame X." She was an American, Virginie Amélie Avegno Gautreau, from Louisiana whose father fought in the Civil War. After he died of his wounds, her mother took the two daughters back to Paris where they lived with the French grandparents. Sargent did the painting for free as he thought it would raise his standing as painter of the upper classes. Amélie thought it would raise her standing in society. OOPS! Who would have thought a dangling strap could cause such a scandal?
I also had the pleasure of hearing Deborah Davis speak at the Designer's Guild about her book, "The Secret Life of Frames: Lowey—100 Years of Art and Artistry." It was so engaging that I visited Lowey's Frames in New York last December with my friend Susan. It was a memorable experience. We were treated to a tour of the entire facility from the top down.
5th floor, art conservation
4th floor, gessoing & gilding. We got to try burnishing with an agate burnishing tool. We also saw a 17th century frame about 12″ x 15″ that would have been $15000. Too much? They had created a reproduction that was about 9″ x 12″ that was a mere $4500. It had been gessoed and was ready to be gilded.
3rd floor, matting.
2nd floor, archives—over 4000 historic frames of all shapes and sizes.
1st floor, display and sales.
Needless to say, the company caters to museums, galleries, and collectors. But it was an awesome experience. The second and third generation of the family who owns it could not have been more gracious. The company has been in existence for over 100 years. Next time you are in New York, do visit. Can't go? Google them. It is an experience, too.
Have finished two assemblage sculptures: :Run, Rabbit, Run: and :Love Is Blind." When the photos are back—when Sasha has time to breathe between her job up at Idyllwild Arts as Assistant Technical Director for the summer program and her school work—I will post them.
Until then—have a happy and relaxing summer.
Delving into the world of Blogs
February 20, 2012
Well, this is a new process for me. It has always been a battle for me to decide to work on art and design projects or just write about it. For some reason, there is seldom time to do both. However, I will endeavor to write something—anything—to get me started.
Yesterday, I presented a very successful workshop on my PASSION FOR PATTERN art work. This was the lesson written up and published in School Arts Magazine in January. When it arrived, I almost screamed with delight as the publishers had used one of my images for the cover. Talk about excitement. Then, yesterday, one of the women got so excited because she had that issue of the magazine and had shown her students the cover. She didn't put my workshop together with the article until I showed them my copy of the magazine. She just kept babbling about how excited the students would be when she told them she met the author. My day was made. This is the third time I have done this presentation and it is always so well received.
Now, as you know, I am always sharing new finds with people or turning them on to some of my favorite destinations. If you have not yet seen my sister's blog from Istanbul, you are in for a treat. Go to tricivenola.wordpress.com. Not only does she talk about her drawing process, she shows each days work. Part art lesson, part travelog, part history, she puts it all in and it reads like a novel. Even my brother, Richard, a professional writer says he wishes his writing was as superb as Trici's. Can you tell I am very proud of both of their abilities and passions?
Am presently working on two new assemblage pieces so look for new updates as they progress. Run, Rabbit, Run is in the beginning stages of construction. REAL TO REEL is still in the incubation stage but I know what it will look like and how it will work—it is interactive—but I am trying to figure out construction problems.
Until later—

Teens who shot Aussie student athlete out of boredom face murder charges
Duncan, OK, United States (4E) – Three teenage boys, who shot dead an Australian scholar out of boredom on Friday, are facing murder charges, according to the Duncan police in Oklahoma.
First-degree murder charges against the suspects are expected to be filed Tuesday in Stephens County, NewsOK quoted Duncan Police Chief Danny Ford as saying.
The names of the suspects are being withheld pending the filing of the charges. They were only identified by their ages, 17, 16 and 15.
The victim was identified as Christopher Lane, 23, of Melbourne. He died in a hospital one hour after he was shot in the back while jogging on Country Club Road just south of Twilight Beach Drive. Lane was a baseball catcher playing for the East Central University in Ada.
During the Sunday interrogation of the suspects, who were tracked and arrested after their car was caught by a surveillance camera, the 17-year-old admitted to police they killed Lane because they were bored.
Police found the kids inside the car parked in a church after someone called 911 to report that they have guns. A dismantled shotgun was found in the car's trunk and confiscated. But the revolver used in the shooting was not found.
Meanwhile, friends and teammates of Lane are raising $15,000 to cover the cost of bringing his body home to Australia.

Just saw this in an email from one of my professors who is an adviser for the Lesbian and Gay Vet Med Association at school. Target's website says it will donate 100% of T-shirt sales from customers during the month of June to Family Equality Council.
See the t-shirts here.
The big thing about it though is that this has been going around anti-gay organizations, and they're rallying people to complain to the higher-ups at Target and even boycott their store, just like what happened with the Girl Scouts when they allowed a trans* girl join.
So we need to try to support Target in this if we can. If you can't go buy a shirt, you can email them at email@example.com to show your support. It will only take a few minutes, and it's for a cause that I think is really near and dear to a lot of us here. Signal boost please? I can't reach enough people with this on my own.
The shirts are pretty cute too.
I'm going to buy a couple of these shirts anyway. Target's doing something right (for once) and I want to support that.
Well to be honest, I don't care for them either - it's just .. I'm sorry - Just looked either too outdated or off-color
Time to make a Target run. :D
Dammit, I'm actually wearing a proper business-casual shirt today, though it should probably be buttoned entirely and I...
Reblobbing this again because it's actually June, now!
Guys, I love Target.
my love/hate relationship with them continues… this time the point goes to love.

The Ambiguity of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP): Hit or Doom?
AbstractIn the age of the smart machine and informative domination, work organizations and their managers look forward to acquiring internal advantages for their companies in response to external changes and pressures. In this pursuit for success managers are often attracted by various techniques and software programmes such as reengineering solutions and ERP applications. However, there is no general agreement on the benefits or misfits of both of the aforementioned projects in the business literature. This paper tries to offer a critical analysis of the Business Process Reengineering (BPR) movement and examines its compatibility with ERP solutions. It is argued that both managerial innovations are "top-down" approaches and company's ability to perform high standards still mainly depends on managerial heads' authority. However, as it is revealed out of the majority of case studies reviewed, ultimately, every effort for business modernization and success depends on the objectives, interpretation and commitment for change.

Firuz Story
On July 17th, 2010 I took a trip to the emergency room, thinking I only had a bad case of flu. Shortly after arrival I was informed of the presence of a large mass in my chest. Upon further tests and examinations doctors diagnosed me with stage 4 Lymphoma.
My world came crashing down, but a helpful angel came to my help. Somehow Mrs. Hoori Sadler, The founder of the Persian American Cancer Institute, had got wind of my condition, and that was the very first time I learnt about PACI. From there on I had the full support of Mrs. Sadler and the Institute, which made things a whole lot easier. I was referred and introduced to some amazing doctors and oncologists such as Dr. Sepehr Rokhsar, my primary oncologist, and underwent a stem-cell transplant. Now I'm living cancer-free. Thanks to PACI and specifically Mrs. Hoori Sadler and Dr. Charles Sadler, who not only helped me professionally, but they were my emotional support as well. Mrs. Sadler accompanied my to some of my important doctor appointments and constantly visited me at the hospital.
I know she wished she could do this for everyone, but there are too many people getting diagnosed with cancer everyday and she can not carry this enormous weight all on her own. She has sacrificed her own life to help out people like me, and now its time for other folks like you and I to help out and keep the movement going. Through PACI numerous Iranians and non-Iranians have been matched with donors for a stem-cell transplant and have gotten a second chance in life. Let's enable PACI to help more people.

WEST MONROE, La. (KNOE 8 News) - A & E's popular reality show Duck Dynasty, filmed in West Monroe, is attracting tourists to the twin cities.
"Everybody I see tells us they are proud of the show and proud of what we're doing," said Duck and Buck Commander CEO Willie Robinson.
Everyone's got the fever, the Duck Dynasty fever, and it's not limited to the twin cities. The popular A & E show is attracting fans from all across the country, that wouldn't normally stop here.
Kyle and Bethany Eichhorn drove their family in a camper all the way from Indiana, hoping to get a glimpse of the famous family. "We're fans of the show and it was maybe 12 or 13 hours, so we're fans of the show and just want to stop by and check it out," said Kyle Eichhorn.
The Monroe-West Monroe Visitors and Convention Bureau says that the popularity of the show is boosting the economy here in the twin cities. "People do come here for them, but they are also doing other things, that's the big positive that we are seeing an economic ripple," said Monroe-West Monroe CVB Director Alana Cooper and adds the Duck Commander warehouse has become a tourist attraction and has put West Monroe on the map.
Now the group is working with the Duck Dynasty clan to use the popularity of the show as a marketing tool. "We have the opportunity every time they stop here, we send them to the warehouse, we actually have directions printed out, so we can get them there it's only a block or two away. Then we also try to get them to do other things while they are here."
Willie Robertson tells KNOE they have enjoyed the success of the show and is honored to be able to help the local economy of his hometown."I was recently at a hotel and the lady said you know you probably are one of the biggest draws we have is people coming here to stay because they want to go see the shop and they want to see the shop, so it's a win win for all of us," said Robertson.
The CEO also adds he is looking forward to their next season and hopes he and the rest of his family can continue helping North East Louisiana shine to outsiders, like the Eichhorn family. "We're hoping to see someone from the show, but if not its still cool to see the place," said Eichhorn.
The new season begins on A&E on February 27 at 9 p.m. Willie says the new season will be filled with explosions, a yoga session, parental struggles, and of course lots of clowning around at the office.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A Charlottesville man will spend nine-and-a-half years in a federal prison for hiring a man to kill his wife.
U.S. Attorney Timothy J. Heaphy says Patrick Scott Shemorry's actions were "meticulous and chilling."
The 28-year-old Shemorry had pleaded guilty in September to a federal murder for hire charge. He was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court.
Heaphy says Shemorry gave a man identified only as "Witness One" $1,200 in travel to New Orleans and kill his wife. She had moved there after the couple separated earlier this year.

y-tool: a memory manager
Y-tool is a simple memory backup utility for the Yaesu FT-857d tranceiver.
I was unable to find a free tool to let me save the memory channels that I had painstakingly entered through the radio dials. When the day comes and you need to do a hard reset after a mod, for example, you have to purchase some massive software package to back up your channel memories. If you don't have a need for a complete CAT setup, this tool may be just the thing.
Y-tool creates a backup file for the 200 memory channels in your FT-857D. You can keep several memory setups in separate files, but I have not implemented a file dialog yet. If I register a lot of interest in this software, I may start to support it. So far, though, it is totally free and unsupported. I do appreciate any feedback you may have,though. My e-mail address is in the aboutbox.
Download the utility by clicking the picture below. The software has been tested on XP only.
The utility uses undocumented radio commands, so use it at your own risk.

Can't remember the day when i joined KAT for the first time. It's been a long journey (1000 days) with KAT & hope will continue in future. During this journey, KAT has gifted so many new friends to me. Thank You KAT...
But, on the other side it is the day to remember some of them who has left this world forever But, till date I can feel their presence whenever I visit KAT.
During this time, i've seen so many ups & downs in the world of file sharing. Some favorable sites were shut down for some specific reasons. But, our beloved KAT has been growing day by day.
Long Live KAT, Long Live........
Top Ten Reasons : Why You Should Drink BEER
1 view posted 05 Jul 2012, 06:20
▼29 comments
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy."
1. Reduces General Heart Disease – Vitamin B6, found in beer, prevents the build-up of homocysteine, an amino acid which has been linked to heart disease. Higher levels of homocysteine in our bodies can make us more susceptible to vascular and heart diseases.
2. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) - Case studies have shown that 30-35% of men who drink beer in moderation are less likely to have heart attacks. Polyphenol, an antioxidant, is just as much present in beer as it is in red wines.
3. Reduces Risk of Coronary Thrombosis – Coronary thrombosis occurs when the opening of an artery becomes so small, the flow of blood is blocked. Beer acts as a blood thinner, reducing the risk of a heart attack.
"Here's to alcohol, the cause of –and solution to–all life's problems."
4. Reduces Risk of Atherosclerosis - Beer boosts levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the good cholesterol, lowers insulin levels, which is good for non-diabetics because it reduces the chance of developing atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
5. Reduces Risk of Kidney Stones – It is not 100% certain why kidney stones form. Genetics and diet have played a major role with those individuals who develop them. Kidney stones may be reduced in middle-aged men by 40%. Scientists are unsure if these results were due to the water, alcohol, or hops.
6. Insomnia – A common disorder that affects 1 out of every 10 adults. A good night sleep is beneficial for you energy level and mood. The general affect of beer has a tendency to make one drowsy.
7. Cancer – The hops in beer contain xanthohumol, a powerful antioxidant. Concentrations of xanthohumol occur naturally in dark beer and can assist your body in stopping the early stages of tumor growth.
8. Reduces Osteoporosis - Hops in beer contain phyto-estrogens, a compound that will help reduce hot flashes and fight osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Beer should not be used as a replacement for estrogen therapy.
9. Lowers Cholesterol – Moderate consumption of beer has been shown to increase the HDL cholesterol and lowers the low-density lipoprotein (LDL), also know as the "bad cholesterol" in postmenopausal women. Analyzed data suggests more than one or two servings per day is not productive and considered detrimental.
10. Hypertension – Studies have shown a 14% lowered risk in high blood pressure by women consuming two or three beers a week. Hypertension is a disease where the blood pressure is chronically elevated.
An average 12oz beer contains 150 calories, no fat, no cholesterol, no caffeine, and is 92% water.
Anonymous Brings Down The Websites of Supreme Court of India, Indian Congress To Protest Web Censorship
0 views posted 18 May 2012, 14:36
A few days ago, some Indian ISPs banning ThePirateBay and Vimeo. The list of banned sites also includes Torrentz.eu, KickAssTorrents, ExtraTorrent, 1337x.org, h33t.com, BitSnoop etc. Needless to say that this act didn't go down too well with the online community. Interestingly, the whole scene has grabbed international eyeballs, and Anonymous has returned the favour by hacking the websites of the Supreme Court of India and All India Congress [India's ruling party]▼25 comments
Anonymous believes that websites are being blocked on government order, and therefore, they decided to take down the website of India's ruling party along with that of the Supreme Court. Although the Supreme Court's website seems to be back on track again.
Anonymous launched Operation India with a tweet that said, "Namaste #India, your time has come to trash the current government and install a new one. Good luck."
A few days ago, two YouTube video uploaded by user Sen0nymous, titled 'Operation India' and 'Operation India Engaged', issued a call to action for fellow hackers.
On Thursday afternoon, the websites of the Supreme Court (supremecourtofindia.nic.in) and the All India Congress Committee (aicc.org.in) were attacked and taken down. The Supreme Court's portal was back after a few hours, but the hackers said AICC will remain down the whole day.
The Twitter account for Operation India, @opindia_revenge, claimed it had also targeted the website of the Department of Telecommunications (dot.gov.in), but it was quickly back.
Similarly, Sen0nymous reported that the Delhi government's portal (delhi.gov.in) had been targeted , but it was back soon after.
The attacks come after the government asked Internet Service Providers to block websites such as The Pirate Bay, a file-sharing site, as well as video-sharing service Vimeo among others.
Anonymous is a disbanded group of unknown hackers spread across the globe. The international 'hacktivist' group has previously attacked the US Department of Justice, US Copyrights Office, Sony Playstation Network, FBI and Egyptian government websites, among others.

There will be three editions of the operating system,
1. Windows 8,
2. Windows 8 PRO and
3. Windows RT [for ARM]
Windows 8 and Windows 8 PRO both will come in 32 and 64 bit edition. Windows 8, will be equivalent to Windows 7 'Basic' and 'Home Premium' for Home users, and Windows 8 PRO will be equivalent to 'Professional' and 'Ultimate' edition for business users.

• Client Hyper-V
• Domain Join
• Boot from VHD
• Remote Desktop (client)
• Remote Desktop (host)
• Encrypting File System

Windows 8 Pro will, however, be missing Windows Media Center and will be "available as an economical 'media pack' add-on." Windows 8 Pro version will also feature a number of tools "for IT organization that enable PC management and deployment, advanced security, virtualization, new mobility scenarios, and much more."
"Microsoft has also renamed the Windows on ARM (also known as WOA) edition. The new name for this will be Windows RT (note that there is no '8′ in this branding, possibly suggesting that this platform may develop into its own brand separate to the x86 platform). This version will only be available pre-installed on PCs and tablets powered by ARM processors (in other words, you will not be able to buy this version as a standalone product."
And finally, you'll need the right hardware
Windows 8 Consumer Preview should run on the same hardware that powers Windows 7 today. In general, you can expect Windows 8 Consumer Preview to run on a PC with the following:

Microsoft India's retail website was down on Monday after an apparent hack, with a purportedly Chinese group called Evil Shadow Team posting doctored screenshots that seemed to be of partially obscured customers' usernames and passwords. The Microsoft Store India (www.microsoftstore.co.in) website showed an error message promising to restore access as quickly as possible. The Indian edition of Microsoft Store is operated by local company Quasar Media.
The hackers obscured the full usernames and passwords in the screen shots posted on a blog run by Evil Shadow Team member 7z1 (ps.s.blog.163.com). Writing in Mandarin, 7z1 describes himself as a "patriotic hacker".

Brake LeverComment1
this wiki
A Brake Lever is a handle which is used to apply the brakes of a locomotive or an entire train.
In steam and diesel locomotives the brake levers look similar. However, in certain Electric locomotive, a handle which resembles a joystick is used instead.
There are several different types of brake levers used for different purposes.
Lap brake - The main brake which controls both the locomotive and the entire train's brakes.
Dynamic brake - The secondary brake which is used to help slow a train or locomotive to a limited speed without needing the use of appling the emergency brakes. (Only placed or located in certain types of diesel and electric locomotives built from 1960 to present.)
Independent brake - The locomotives own individual brakes which only stop the locomotive in which the brakes are applied.
Emergency brake - A type of brake which immediately haults a locomotive or an entire train, and is only used in emergency situations. (Hence the name.)
Train brake - A type of brake which controls the brakes on the train and on the locomotive.
Locomotive brake - A brake that controls the locomotive to slow the locomotive and the train down.

A Journey Through the Universe of Women's Health
March 12th, 2012 | Posted in Blog, marketing healthcare to women, TEDWomen Conference, Top Women's Health Myths, Women's Health, Women's health leaders by Kelley Connors
Did you miss our on-line radio show last week?
I spoke with Saralyn Mark, MD about the promise and future of women's health in this country. Saralyn knows a thing or two about how Washington DC works, and was the first medical advisor to the Office of Women's Health in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She is also knowledgeable about hormones – the kind we women care about – and is an endocrinologist and geriatrician as well as women's health specialist. She just launched a book called "Stellar Medicine: A Journey Through the Universe of Women's Health and will be addressing women's health leaders at the 3rd Annual Leadership Summit on the Business of Women's Health in Boston. Following her talk, we may host a book reading so stay tuned here.
Some of the touchpoints in our on-line conversation included:
1. Future of Women's Health: Gender and Sex-based biology. Science nears a greater understanding of how women differ from men and applying those sex-based differences in the area of personalized medicine and identification of markers. This will help improve the treatments of certain reproductive cancers, heart disease and immune disorders (lupus, MS) which primarily affect women.
2. Misogyny undermines advancement of human rights, women's rights and health. The current conversations (Limbaugh and company included) that have excluded women and denigrated women's rights impact all of us…men included. Women's health is the current hot topic because it's an election year and it's a conversation that ignites the G.O.P. base including women who are centrists or conservatives. Nothing like a war (against women) to mobilize the troops.
3. Her book is part memoir/part guidebook on controversial health issues. Dr. Mark explores the political and social environment which shapes these issues while weaving in her unique adventures on all the continents and with the space program to illustrate her points.
She writes about menopause, alternative therapies, sex and gender based medicine, spirituality and healing, veterans health, pandemics and public fears, medical myths, reproductive health, the health benefits of sex, chocolate, wine and shopping and more. This educational and entertaining book has generated lively discussions during all of Dr. Mark's book reading events and media appearances including NPR, ABC News and Good Morning America Health.
Her candor and humor inspire her audiences to use the book as a guide to achieve health and wellness even during times of stress. Interested in hearing Saralyn speak or read from her book? The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Center for Policy at the University of New Mexico loved her reading on "Stardust Connection".

Nice to know about Dr. Mark's new book. Gender Medicine is an important field of study. There are many issues that we share as men and women, and there are many issues that are different between the sexes.
I work and write in the area of Gender Medicine for men. I've written 10 books, including Surviving Male Menopause, The Irritable Male Syndrome, Male vs. Female Depression, and MenAlive: Stop Killer Stress with Simple Energy Healing Tools (which will be published in June, 2012).
It sounds like we have a lot to share with each other.

A main break sent water rushing in an area along Hurricane Road Saturday night.
In September, a California school district
faced an early setback on their iPad initiative after high school students were
caught using their devices to access "non-educational" sites.
Officials with Florence City Schools, in the
midst of their own iPad project, said they want students to have the freedom to
use the tablets for what they want after school. They said one of the main
focuses is to teach students about responsible digital citizenship.
"We have taken careful measures to ensure our
students do not have access to anything that they shouldn't have while on
campus. We do have filtering systems so they're not able to get to any sites
that would be considered inappropriate," said the school system's Director of
Technology, Chris Westbrook.
While in class, the district's IT staff has
taken measures to ensure students can only use their devices for educational
purposes. Outside of school, however, students are free to use their iPads as
they wish.
"We provide the student with an open iPad and
we want to teach digital citizenship," said Westbrook.
At the beginning of the school year, both
students and parents signed an acceptable use policy, discussing the importance
of being responsible online.
"Digital citizenship is of the utmost
importance, whether you are in fifth grade or 60 and have an iPad. The digital
footprint that you leave will stay with you," Westbrook said.
Officials said students know that if they
tinker with the settings and try to reset their iPads, it will only hurt them
when they return to school.
"If that child leaves our campus and they
reset it to factory original [settings] and bring it back to campus, they bring
back a brick. The iPad will not access our wi-fi, the iPad will not be able to
be used for instructional purposes and the instructional software that's
provided for the classroom. At that level, we know the child has used it
inappropriately and we can take the necessary restrictions," Westbrook said.
The acceptable use policy and other
information related to the iPad initiative, you can visit the Florence City
Schools IT page.

Cloud Computing and Beyond
(page 4 of 6)
762 Queen Street
Honolulu, HI 96813
Started in 1990 by two brothers out of an office in Kalihi, RevaComm soon became a web-focused company that developed technologically savvy skills, services, and tools to help customers compete in a digital marketplace. During the downturn of the dot-com bust in 2000, the company took the opportunity to evaluate their position in the the industry. "We thought about our strengths and who our best customers were," says Elden Ito, President of RevaComm, "It was an opportunity to become a more focused company."
RevaComm is currently centered on two main areas of business—market facing services, such as online marketing and e-commerce, and business process improvement services. As cloud computing becomes more pervasive, RevaComm is adapting to provide cloud services to customers. "A lot of our clients don't know what it is, but they hear the buzzword," says Brett Kimura, Vice President of Operations. "It's a misconception that the cloud is a new thing, but it has been around for awhile. People also sometimes think it's really specific, but it's actually very broad."
"The big picture of cloud computing is that it allows a lot
While the company maintains a solid presence in web design and branding, they also offer cloud computing solutions with voice, web, and mobile applications. "Even home offices and one-man shops can benefit from the cloud because it provides more powerful and flexible services than traditional IT solutions, and at a reduced cost," explains Ito. With early roots in communication design, RevaComm prides itself on being able to marry both marketing principles and technical applications in developing new systems for clients. "What sets us apart in the marketplace is our ability to balance great user experience with proven technologies that solves real business problems," notes Kimura.
What trends are on the horizon for cloud computing? "The big picture of cloud computing is that it allows a lot more flexibility between technical platforms," says Ito, "Companies of all sizes are starting to collaborate more through the cloud than you've ever seen before."

Treatment for known or suspected cyanide poisoning
What is Cyanokit?
Cyanokit is an emergency treatment (antidote) used in patients with known or suspected cyanide poisoning. Cyanide is a chemical poison. Cyanide poisoning can happen from:
- breathing smoke from household and industrial fires
- breathing or swallowing cyanide
- having your skin exposed to cyanide
Cyanide poisoning is a life-threatening condition because cyanide stops your body from being able to use oxygen. You can die if your body does not have enough oxygen.
Cyanokit was approved for the treatment of known or suspected cyanide poisoning based on testing:
- how well it worked in animals (It is not ethical to poison people with cyanide in order to test a treatment.)
- its safety in people with cyanide poisoning
How is Cyanokit used?
Cyanokit is given through a vein (intravenous) over 15 minutes by an emergency care provider or doctor. A second dose may be given to you if needed.
What are possible side effects with Cyanokit?
Serious side effects may include:
- allergic reactions Signs of a serious allergic reaction include chest tightness, trouble breathing, swelling, hives, itching, and a rash.
- increased blood pressure
Other side effects may include:
- red colored urine
- red colored skin and mucous membranes, acne-like rash
- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody stools, trouble swallowing, stomach pain
- throat tightness, dry throat
- headache, dizziness, memory problems, restlessness
- infusion site reaction
- eye swelling, irritation, or redness
- swelling of feet and ankles
- irregular heart beat, increased heart rate
- fluid in lungs
These are not all the side effects with Cyanokit.
After treatment with Cyanokit:
- Skin and urine redness. Skin redness may last up to 2 weeks. Avoid sun exposure while your skin is red. Urine redness may last up to 5 weeks.
- Acne-like rash. An acne-like rash may appear 7 to 28 days after treatment with Cyanokit. This rash usually goes away without any treatment.
- Pregnancy. Be sure to tell your doctor immediately if you were pregnant or think you may have been pregnant during treatment with Cyanokit. Treatment for cyanide poisoning may save your life and the life of your unborn baby.
- Breastfeeding. Talk to your doctor if you breastfeed your child. The ingredient in Cyanokit may pass into your breast milk.
Talk to your doctor about any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - The
rising cost of health care has the Eau
Claire School District
considering more changes to retirement benefits.
"The original
purpose of the benefit was to encourage early retirement, and that was encouraged
as a cost savings move," said Dan Van De Water, Eau Claire School District
Business Director.
It started out as a
simple plan.
"The theory being
that a more expensive, veteran employee could be replaced with a less expensive
newer employee... and then that differential in salary would be a cost reduction
to the school district," Van De Water explained.
But an evolving market
calls for an evolving plan.
"What has happened
over time is the cost of those health insurance and dental insurance premiums
has increased quite rapidly, quite dramatically," added Van De Water.
That's why the Eau Claire School District is looking at its
"Today that cost savings
is no longer guaranteed," Van De Water said.
One option would be to
freeze how much the school board contributes for dental and health premiums.
That would allow the employee to remain on the district's plan until they
qualify for Medicare.
"We feel we've
already made some major steps already towards alleviating the potential
problem," said Andrew Fisher, Eau Claire Association of Educators
Andrew fisher is talking
about a change negotiated in 2007, the board saved money by changing benefit
options for new hires.
"Even with that
change, the district has a significant number of employees who are on a defined
benefit plan. And that's where the focus of the board is currently; how does
the board address the increasing costs of that," Van De Water said.
Fisher says the concern
would be employees having to make more concessions.
"If that is taken
away before we learn whether or not we're already behind in salary, I worry
about the position that puts the district in terms of retaining our best
teachers and attracting good young quality teachers," Fisher said.
Andrew fisher mentioned
finding out if employees are behind in salary. The school board is having a
study conducted to see how Eau Claire
stacks up with other districts. The school board will review a variety of
options at its next meeting December 2nd.
