BELTON (December 14, 2012)--UMHB's Isabelle Rutherford Nursing Center will be paid in full thanks to two multi-million-dollar grants.
The facility will be debt-free when doors open for the first time in January.
"In October, The J.E. and L.E. Mabee Foundation of Tulsa, Oklahoma, offered UMHB a $2 million grant if the university could raise the remaining balance needed for the project from alumni, foundations, and other friends of the university. A second donor, who asked to remain anonymous, stepped forward soon thereafter, offering a leadership-level gift of an undisclosed amount if the school could secure all funds for the project by the end of 2012 and complete the facility without exceeding its original budget of $20 million," a spokesperson said.
Others contributing are Jane Meyer of the Paul and Jane Meyer Family Foundation in Waco and UMHB faculty and staff members.
The three-story facility will offer 76,100 square feet in clinical laboratories, practice exam rooms, classrooms, faculty offices, and support spaces for the UMHB nursing program.
The center also includes a hospital simulation area.
A dedication ceremony will officially open the center to the public on February 8.

But I want to get a limited picture, like 800*640, because on different devices I get different sizes, and I don't need that big picture.
I notice that there is a EXTRA_SIZE_LIMIT in MediaStore , but I can't find how to use it, what parameter should be set?

Religious Progressives?
Are religious progressives the wave of the future?
That is the conclusion that a number of people have drawn from Do Americans Believe Capitalism & Government Are Working?, the study that has already been discussed here following posts by Paul Moses and myself. Besides surveying Americans on economic conditions, inequality, capitalism, government economic policy, and religious values, the study paid special attention to what it considered the understudied counter to the religious right, namely "religious progressives."
By combining scales measuring Americans' views on theological, social, and economic issues, the study concludes that 28% of the population are religious conservatives, 38% are religious moderates, and 19% are religious progressives.
The latter, however, may have prospects that those numbers belie. First of all, that 19% of religious progressives are close in outlook on political, social, and economic questions to the 15% of Americans detached from any particular faith, the "nones.". So a broader view of the nation's religious landscape shows it roughly divided in thirds: 28% conservative, 38% moderate, and 34% progressive.
More importantly, the authors of the study, conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute in collaboration with the Brookings Institute, emphasize that religious progressives are significantly younger than religious conservatives. Religious conservatives' share of the population shrinks with every generation. That's what has been celebrated in blogs from the Washington Post to the Huffington Post by way of Salon. The day of the religious right is passing, the era of the religious left is upon us.
Sorry, it's not likely.
As a panelist at the Brookings Institution unveiling of the new study on July 18, I expressed doubts about the future potential of religious progressives. I don't doubt that the group exists, however arguable some of the study's methodology used to define religious progressives and measure their numbers. Indeed, I may fall within the definition myself. What I doubt is whether the specifically religious character of religious progressives can play anything like the motivating, energizing, and organizing force of religion among religious conservatives – and I do think that the study and the way it has been greeted implicitly assume something of a parallel between these two sectors.
Two findings of the study itself feed my doubts. One is the low percentage of religious progressives (11%) who say that their religion is "the most important thing in my life" compared to the high proportion (54%) of religious conservatives saying the same thing.
What do people really mean when they say that religion is the most important thing in their lives? I'm not quite sure. But I find that unlike the survey's standard wishy-washy options stating that religion is "among the important things in my life" or "somewhat important in my life," the "most important" response is a good measure of the strength and intensity of religious identity. As William Galston pointed out in seconding my observation at the Brookings event, the "most important" response is a strong indicator that religion will really influence the way someone votes while the other responses point to indefinite exercises in balancing.
A second finding feeds my doubts about the potential impact of religious progressives. It turns out that 87% of religious progressives view religion as a "private matter" that should be kept out of public debate on political and social issues. That view may provide a negative counter to aggressive religious intervention on behalf of traditional sexual and personal norms, but it does not provide much ground for religious engagement on the kinds of issues that the study puts before us – helping the poor, maintaining the safety net, and opposing inequality.
I have yet another question about the impact of religious progressives that arises from an extraordinary finding by Robert Putnam and David Campbell in the book American Grace. It will take us further afield, however, and deserves its own post.

People of faith, particularly in the Catholic tradition, should be able to articulate and translate their views formed by faith in a secular or natural context. For example, while the preferential option for the poor is a specific, faith stance that is necessary for Catholics, the articulation of what that looks like in terms of public policy will differ. What will not differ, however, is that the fundamental stance, and first question, will always be the impact of this or that policy or decision on the poor. If Catholics actually put this fundamental stance in practice, then I suspect that we would have a very, very different social structure than we have today.
In a very real Catholic sense, religion is a private matter as the natural order has its own laws that are accessbile by virtue of natural reason. We should be able to argue those natural virtues and rights in a natural way (e.g. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the UN)
Why is it that Scandanavian countries, overwhelmingly Lutheran, are able to live more simply and more equitably than Catholic countries or regions with high proportions of Catholics?
that 19% of religious progressives are close in outlook on political, social, and economic questions to the 15% of Americans detached from any particular faith, the "nones.".
What, if any, are the stances on key issues that distinguish religious progressives from "nones"? I expect that not a few religious conservatives harbor the suspicion that religious progressives really are "nones" who happen to come from a religious family heritage. I don't think that's accurate or fair, but it does seem fair to ask, if the two groups are different, in what ways do those differences manifest themselves in political, social or economic questions?
the preferential option for the poor is a specific, faith stance that is necessary for Catholics
George, while I agree 100% with your statement above, I suspect its general meaning is usually taken in an economic sense. Personally, I think the Catholic sense is much larger eg poor in spirit, poor in conscience, poor in virtue, poor in health. So for example, I think abortion falls under the larger Catholic sense of preferential option for the poor, perhaps described as 'poor in voice'. And I do not think the Catholic religion would ever describe these as private matters even if they are knowable by reason alone.
By religious progressives, do we mean religious people with progressive political beliefs? Or are we somehow referring to progressive religious beliefs? (Do we even label religious beliefs progressive?) For example, would a Jehovah's Witness be considered a religous progressive if she embraced an ultra-liberal political platform? Who are we talking about in these categories?

I supect that one reason is because in the Scandinavian countries the people are still close to nature -- nature that is still mostly unspoiled by urban ugliness and suburban sprawl. Nature there is generally very beautiful, so the people aren't so concerned with making a lot of money so they can buy beautiful things -- nature provides them.
I'm firmly convinced that human beings have a deep-seated longing for beauty, especially for visual beauty, and when nature doesn't provide it people try to substitute other beauties, too often with no success. It's hard to compete with a rose or a waterfall or a sunset.
Jim P. ==
I think that the biggest religious differences concern the ethical issues of contraception, abortion and same-sex marriage, while the theological issues are mainly concerned with married priests, women priests and, most basic, infallibility though infallibility is rarely discussed these days. I don't think that the preferential option for the poor is a big issue. The only issue with that concerns what "poor" means.
Anne Oliver: >I suspect that one reason is because in the Scandinavian countries the people are still close to nature -- nature that is still mostly unspoiled by urban ugliness and suburban sprawl.

Dear Ms. Oliver:
Two years ago, I had the opportunity to work as a volunteer in Haute Guinée, near the border with Mali. We were guests in the homes of the most open and generous people I ever expect to meet. Garden plots along the few perennial streams, some chickens in the family compound; perhaps a few goats or a milk cow in the most successful families. Malinke people, living on the edge of the Sahara Desert. To homo economicus, these are dollar-a-day people, who have little experience with anything we would recognize as a cash economy. There was nothing poor in the spirit of the people of Lero.
Our Western eye does not often see country like this, or the people who live in it. It can be very beautiful indeed, especially (to my eye) at dawn and sunset. To them, of course, it is the whole world that most of them ever will know, its springs and seeps, its thin, depleted soils, and the energy of the sun providing what they and their crops and animals needed for life, which they lead according to the traditions of their culture and the teachings of the Koran.
It gets back to Posing (or begging) the question. And you know how precarious that is. Further, statistics is a strange discipline and unless the questions and parameters are crystal clear, the conclusions are suspect.
Pace Ann. The well being of the Scandanavian countries may have something to do with the fact that their monarchs are symbolic. England which falls into that category realizes that guns are killers when generally available. Maybe Francis is quietly beginning to get rid of the Empire when he acknowledges that he is merely the Bishop of Rome. Certainly the RCC in its embrace of Empire has created lunatics and grandiose popes even into our own times.
Getting back on point, the labels of conservative or liberal are fraught with potential for error. For example, despite what many may think, I do not consider myself liberal. The reason is that I am for a radical reading of the anointing of Jesus. Another way to get this is to ask my children. They will agree with my assessment. I.E. that I am not liberal.
When I say religion is a private matter I want to protect us from nuts who say everyone is going to hell. Yet I will insist that all walks of life favor the Leper over Dives. Which means that the goods of the earth belong to everyone. While I favor fair capitalism, I assert that a severe reckoning will come upon those who ignore the downtrodden. Francis is telling the "Smart Phone" clergy that their priorities are mixed up while so many are starving, in need of shelter and medicine. ETC.
The reason I object to studies and conferences like this is that they have no plan of action. Everyone pontificates and remains on the sidelines. In good management there is always a detailed map so that company objectives can be met. They know that generalities will not suffice. Religion is odious when it details rules which stifle the spirit of people. But religion can be useful if it measures how we treat the poor and downtrodden. Yet that measurement is always ignored as poison and detrimental. Amazing. Leaders have described the Magnificat as "poison." Which it is to those who prefer domination over others.
People of rhetoric have too often dominated Christianity. Like Augustine, Bonaventure and Thomas. This is why this pope has inserted Francis of Assissi into the mix. Because he is closer to the heart of Jesus.
I am politically progressive, but religiously regressive in that I basically just go around setting up pillars and dumping oil on them.
Abe - there's is something intriguingly Freudian about your obvious hate of pillars. Of course, I have no idea whatever what that may be but, by golly, I'm certain it is there.
As for this post by Peter, I believe the issue it raises is more than worthy of discussion. However, so long as we do not point out obvious misuses of the word "conservative" I do not believe a useful discussion can occur. A significant number of those individuals so loudly and so often publicly proclaiming their words and deeds to be borne of religious conservatism are in it for money, power and self-adulation. It is beyond ludicrous to allow oneself to believe one can live in a multimillion dollar home on the Florida coast and expect anyone with the common sense God gave a brick to believe Christ led them there. If Jim and Tammy had sold real estate rather than Christ there is adequate reason to believe they would have found the adulation they so obviously needed.
Did I mention I am available if that person currently housed on the Florida coast is wishing to be a godfather? Just kidding.....
I always have to google Abe's allusions. It looks like Jacob is the winner.
Mightbe, I don't even.
On the relation between progressivism in religion and progressivism in economic and political matters, an interesting phenomenon can be noted in the emergence of modern Catholic social teaching in the nineteenth century. In almost every instance the impulse to engage in a critique of liberal capitalism and the social order it was producing came from people who were conservative and even intransigent on religious matters. One illustration: Cardinals Manning and Newman were, in the fine description of Sheridan Gilley, "the Martha and Mary of the Victorian era." Manning's defence of workers anticipated Rerum novarun, and he intervened actively to settle a dock strike in 1889; but he was, of course, an utter Ultramontane in ecclesiastical politics. Newman, on the other hand, a great defender of intellectual integrity and of necessary "elbow-room" for Catholic theologians, showed very little interest in socio-economic matters, so that it is not possible to find among his very many works a single essay similar to Manning's "The Dignity and Rights of Labour" (1874).
The intransigent pioneers of Catholic social teaching were consistent in this respect: they opposed modern liberal individualism in all its aspects; they opposed it when it took the form of abandoning tradition and dogma as also in its revolutionary consequences for economic and social orders.
You can't detect trends in a cross-sectional study. The fact that the young are more progressive than the old at one point in time doesn't mean that they will remain progressive as they age. Today's paper describes people once enamored of social change in their youth now concerned about social security in their old age.
The only way to detect change is to replicate studies in different time periods. But given the idiosyncratic definition of religious progressivism in this study I doubt that any other researchers will want to repeat this study. Why didn't Brookings conduct a true comparison based upon past studies. I suspect a "not invented here" attitude to earlier studies.
BTW, if anyone wants to spot alleged trends the NYT provides at least three on the front page of every issue. There we are told that prospects are dire if the enlightened ones do not recognize new tendencies, shake others out of their complacency and join together to promote effective policies to alleviate future suffering - and then prepare for the arrival of tomorrow'st trends. Several conferences to follow.
It is the configuration described by Fr. K which is obscured by the categories of the survey. Too often, we get "doctrinal rightists" who do everything possible to evade the the stern implications of Catholic social teaching, and we get "activist leftists" who are often highly critical of basic Catholic beliefs about ecclesiology and christology. Wasn't it Dorothy Day who said, "In matters of society, I move as far to the left as possible, while in matters of the church, I move as far to the right as possible"? While this is an extreme statement (i.e. I hope Ultramontanism is not what she means!!), I do think that this approach is often lost. I would suggest that the last three popes, however much they definitely differed in style, actually in their writings and teachings did exactly this. Laborem Exercens and Caritas in Veritate, for example, are far to the "left" of virtually any available American political program in their support of cooperatives, worker ownership, the priority of labor over capital, and (in general) genuine relationships of love and mutuality in the work world.
Catholicism has had a too long love affair with aristocracy. And conservatives almost always are aristocrat wannabes. Scandinavian monarchs can be seen in grocery stores.
I've always interpreted the term "Progressive" in light of Vatican II's call for ecclesial renewal, i.e., making the church "new again", the primary theme of this council. A "reactionary"/"fundamentalist"/"traditionalist"/"orthodox"/"regressive", by contrast, is opposed to renewal.
The Scandinavian ability to live more equitably has much, much more to do with cultural homogeneity rather than religion. The applicable idiom in the US is "the squeaky wheel gets the grease", following our individualistic roots. Cultural conformity is the greater impetus in much of the rest of the world, especially northern Europe, and the applicable phrase is"the nail that sticks out gets hammered down". For good or ill, the pressure to conform does create a greater sense that everyone's in it together and an ability to recognize that the better off everyone is, the better off I am.
It seems to me that there is little dispute among the conservatives and liberals about the general principles of the Church's social justice teachings. All would probably agree to "as little government as possible, as much government as necessary". The fight is about how much is enough.
There are also in certain sub-sets disagreement about how our capitalist system works AND doesn't work. If you can believe Paul Krugman (and I do), conservatiives generally believe that capitalism is self-correcting, while liberals think is isn't necessarily. Hence the intense fights over government regulation of corporations and banks. This idea is from Keynes, and the conservatives typicaly hate him to the point of irrationality, calling him a Communist, etc, when the man was definitely pro capitalism.. That is really sort of strange beacuse Keynes and Hayek (the conservatives' own icon) knew each others' work and respected each others' work.
Note: Keynes was a member of the socially highly-influential Bloomsbury group who led in overturning the social mores in England in the early 20th century. You can see their influence finally emerging with a bang in the U. S, in the 60's. I sometimes wonder whether what the early 20th century conservatives most objected to in Keynes was not primarily his economics but his de facto personal sexual morality ("free love", bisexual). In other words, he was a threat to both their economic and familial principles. (He also loudly criticized the Versaille Treaty as immoral,which was also an anti-England/anti-clan position.
My point is that somehow there might be a connection between the sexual and economic values of conservatives. Maybe what they have in common is strict protectionism of the clan and corporations, whether of the group/clan or of families as constituting the group? (Yes, I think that conservative sexual morality is intended to protect the family, and in that respect I'm mostly a conservative too.)
Cultural conformity is the greater impetus in much of the rest of the world, especially northern Europe, and the applicable phrase is"the nail that sticks out gets hammered down". For good or ill, the pressure to conform does create a greater sense that everyone's in it together and an ability to recognize that the better off everyone is, the better off I am.
This could be solidarity, if it is embraced freely.
I wonder if one possible difference between religious progressives and "nones" is that religious progressives would place great stock in the virtue of solidarity. I don't know to what extent "nones" have libertarian tendencies on social issues, but if they are like most Americans, they're probably pretty libertarian on anything having to do with sex.
I''d add this corallary to your comment: Liberals generally believe government is self-correcting, while conservatives think it isnt necessarily.
Personally, I doubt either is self-correcting, but government wields the greater power.
"First of all, that 19% of religious progressives are close in outlook on political, social, and economic questions to the 15% of Americans detached from any particular faith, the "nones.". "
Mmhhhh... isn't that a bit of a problem? The people with whom religious progressives shares the most similar outlook on social matters are ... atheists?
The dynamic in the church has been with the regressives rather than the progressives lately. But let's not forget that a dynamic plays itself out according to its own inner logic. Regressives are oriented to self-deconstruction that may be fun to watch. Whether a progressive Christianity in the spirit of Vatican II then stages a grand return is hard to predict...
Carlo: Where do you see the problem lying? Pope Francis said we could have common ground with nonbelievers who do good. The challenge is more for the religous progressives and the religious right to come together. What's your thinking on how we make that happen?
"Pope Francis said we could have common ground with nonbelievers who do good."
Same thoughts here Irene Baldwin.
I have mostly thought of myself as a religious progressive, and I would probably fall within that 19%. In many ways I do see things similarly to the "nones", even if i have different reasons for my beliefs. However, when it comes to the abortion question, we usually do not see eye to eye.
Thank you for addressing this issue. I have been working on it for about 40 years. Hope to get back to you soon.
Carlo --
The nones include not only atheists but agnostics and the very large group who are "spiritual but not religious". As I remember the latter group is now about 1/4 of the whole population and growing.
Further, one should not scorn the honorable atheists. They often have a lot to teach the holier-than-thou religious people.
Mmhhhh... isn't that a bit of a problem? The people with whom religious progressives shares the most similar outlook on social matters are ... atheists? -
Carlo, It sure is a problem when the Samaritan is the only one who helped the poor traveler. While the self righteous officials passed by with their noses in the air.
I always like this:
ReligR Religion that loses its soul to the ambitions of either the Right of the Left finally has little of interest to contribute.
Such Such religion becomes no more than a chaplaincy to one political camp or the other. Such religion is almost inevitably conformed to the camp to which it sells its do its doubtful blessing.
Richar Richard John Neuhaus, Two Civil Religions (article), "The R eligion & Science Report", February 1989
Ann: maybe this is true:
RELIGION is for those afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who know they have been there-perhaps through religion. Patrick W. Collins
Jim McCrea: Forgive me, but those two comments strike me as bumper-sticker theology.
"I expressed doubts about the future potential of religious progressives." Peter Steinfels
As I mentioned in my 7-27-13 post I have been working on it for about 40 years (religious progressives). Mr. Steinfels is a world-class journalist.
I am a virtual unknown writer. However, I am a retired RN, with a BS in nursing and MS in nursing education from a well-known college and university with a wide variety of practical experience. Nursing by definition qualifies me for this pursuit. And my lengthy study has become what I call meta-nursing.
But I do not use a journalist mode such as Steinfels uses nor the tools that he uses such as statistics (unless needed). My tools are books, journals etc from my area of work as well as academic cutting edge material recommended by my husband. He is a philosopher of science and a specialist in other philosophical areas.
I am convinced without a doubt that if we had study and discussion periods on-line, religious progressives of all varieties would prevail. There is a wealth of answers out there in our world: academic interdisciplinary knowledge and skill building, and non-academic expertise as well. When we integrate our intellectual achievements we form a new faith and moral agency phenomenon.
But speaking at the moment of just Roman Catholicism, we have an indoctrinated, autocratic system with so much dysfunction and unwillingness to evolve as we should that it leaves us with a very uncertain future. Yet with long hard work there is an evolved future of grand proportion i.e. this evolutionary journey that we have been on for so long a time.
Superb observation!
It seems that this would also be applicable to most of the popes from Leo XIII to Francis, especially John Paul II and and Benedict XVI: "In almost every instance the impulse to engage in a critique of liberal capitalism and the social order it was producing came from people who were conservative and even intransigent on religious matters."

Full day training course offered at The UX Conference New York City
Application Design for Web and Desktop
Principles of application design, with an analysis of GUI screen components, workflows and varying types of users
Course Date: March 19, 2013
Graphical user interfaces (GUI) have a rich vocabulary with screen components for many different situations. Effective design and implementation of these screen components have profound, positive implications on the overall user experience; while unusable design can have adverse effects on your users and customers.
In this seminar, we'll explore the behavior of application screen components, including both standard behaviors that users expect and unique interface components designed for specific interactions. In addition, we'll explore key workflow concepts and design considerations for different task types, as well as guidelines for specific application types. We'll also cover how to integrate user-centered design into an application development process for the inclusion of various user types.
"This course ties together all of the principles learned throughout the rest of Usability Week and applies them directly to application design. What I learned today will be a fantastic resource for my ongoing application work!"
Meredith Englund

Are you a sucker for free shipping?
I am a total sucker for free shipping. I bet that if I saw a free shipping price on an item have a total cost of 3-4 bucks more, I'd still probably get the item with free shipping. In fact, anymore, if I don't see free shipping as part of the deal, I'm likely to avoid deals altogether. Anyone else a total sucker for it?
14 Answers answer
I too only buy stuff with "free" shipping, it's a mental thing I guess, I know it really isn't free. But I will add this... since TAXES are collected for shipments to California I stopped buying on the web.
If I'm paying taxes anyway I just walk in to a local store and pick it up right now. I can also return it with no problems too!
Who needs FedEx or the Post office if there isn't some kind of advantage buying on-line?
No, that's silly. Total cost is more important than free shipping.
I bought a bunch of music CDs last week. They were a penny each with shipping bringing them to $2-3 each. Totally worth it.
Yes, I am a sucker for free shipping.Now I gotta run and buy a Lego watch for my nephew I normally wouldn't buy... but hey, I unlocked free shipping earlier!
I generally agree with you that we are spoiled by free shipping promotions which make us feel entitled to not have to pay for it.
I hate having to pay shipping, but if the total item price is cheaper with shipping and handling from one place, I'll obviously opt for the cheaper price.
On a side note, I'll opt for picking up something in store (that is 30 miles away) rather than have to pay for shipping, even though gas may cost a little bit more than the total shipping and handling.
Free shipping & no tax, I'm there!
Yeah, I love free shipping. Makes me feel like I "beat the system" because I'm not spending time and gas going to the store to get it. It's being delivered to me.. for free!!!
But, unless it's something I would have to drive a distance to get, it's still about total cost :-)
I like free shipping, though total cost is most important. I hesitate to buy Meritline items that do not have free shipping. The Woot "Free Shipping" (after the first $5) is a big plus. I often buy cheap items that I would otherwise have passed on during the Woot-Off once I have unlocked my shipping for the day.
I bought a pile of stuff on woot today and yesterday only because I had free shipping! They are marketing geniuses! GENIUSES! It's like evil mind control, but I'm totally okay with it. Hmmm. Does that make me a henchman?
Nope. But $5 off coupons have my heart. Everything else is just gravy.
Most of the time I only shop at places that have free shipping.
I definitely wouldn't pay more though - under any circumstance. After all, my love for free shipping was born from my desire to keep as much of my money as possible :D
It's a big factor in my decision because it helps me determine the TOTAL COST upfront. I'm always disappointed to find a "good deal" then use a shipping calculator to determine their charge is sky-high.
@mattysc: Yep. I can't begin to count the number of times I've almost bought something on line only to get to the shipping calculator and learn the shipping is so high the total cost just isn't worth what I'm willing to pay for the item.
It's one of the reasons I've been a Amazon Prime Member. My family orders so much stuff from Amazon during the year that is pays for itself in a short time and we're spoiled by the 2 day shipping. Heck, sometimes things show up the very next day!
It makes it easier to figure the total cost up front.....me likey.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

A few months ago I was prowling around Ulta with my sister when we stumbled across a new tinted version of Batiste shampoo. There was a light blond one and a dark/deep brown one, and looking online now, it looks like Batiste also makes tinted ones for medium brunettes and redheads. Of course, being the product junkie that I am, I HAD to try the blonde version. My hair is naturally dark blonde, with no added/artificial color.
Here is what my hair looks like 24 hours after shampooing - note the slight greasiness at the roots:
And here it is after I've added the Batiste Blonde dry shampoo, let it sit for a few minutes, then thoroughly brushed through my hair:

Just Cause 2 isn't that different than the original Just Cause. You star as Rico Rodriguez, a general action hero, who is dropped off on a tropical island in order to stop the bad guys. The beauty of all this is that after the first 3-4 missions you can achieve that goal whenever and however you want to.
PlayStation 3
If you have played the first game you will find this game has been drastically improved. It is a 3rd person shooter packed with tons and tons of explosions. This game is one of the funniest open world games I have played in a long time. You will be controlling a Rico Rodriguez who is an agent (for an agency in American called "The Agency"). So in this game you will find yourself in Panau, a city in southeast Asia. You are looking for a friend Tom Sheldon who has went missing suddenly. No one is sure if he is dead or alive.
So the ultimate goal is to overthrow the current dictator. You are going to achieve that by doing "work" for three factions on this island. This is going to cause a great deal of chaos and earn you money along the way. Don't worry that the game is not the main focal point, so don't take it to seriously. For instance, you are attacked by ninjas equipped with Uzis, huh, what's that all about?
The key element that sets this game apart from the others is the grappling hook. It is awesome and I find a million ways to use it. For instance, let's say there is a sniper on the roof. Why not shoot your grappling hook at his feet and yank him off the edge. He will then go crashing down to his death. It saves ammo too. Another great thing I did was attach a car to a helicopter and fly around the town. Trust me there are endless things you can do with this grappling hook.
Another great feature that sets this game apart from any other third person shooter is the parachute. You can jump off a cliff at anytime for an easy escape. That and my favorite is blasting people on the way down. There are tons and tons of weapons you can use in this game, even a rocket launcher. As if all the options in the game aren't enough there are even more than one hundred vehicles to choose from.
This game just offers a ton of freedom. You can play anyway you want too. I really do believe this is one of the best free-roming games I have played in a long time. It is not perfect in the aspect that the storyline really isn't anything to pay serious attention too. The lasting appeal from this game is just great though. It has tons and tons of "Hollywood" style cut scenes and the gameplay graphics are epic throughout, all in all I was pleased with the game.

So I just finished my psd's and I am going to send them to a front end developer, but I'm at a loss at to the logistics of it. Do I just send them to the front end developer and have them upload them to my server, or to their test server? And then when I send it to backend development, do I just give the programmer my hosting credentials, etc, so they can login and work on my project? Is this how it works?
You need to talk to your developers. There is more than one way of working, and they will be able to tell you their favoured process.
Typically, a designer/developer will work on your site privately on their own machine until they are ready to share the results with you, at which point it will be uploaded to a test server (yours or theirs). This is because developing on a remote server is often slower.
If you already have hosting, most developers will use that as a staging area to show you the beta site, and may suggest setting up a subdomain or subfolder (e.g.
It's something that's best to be worked out ahead of time in order to avoid problems.
As a web developer, the way I've generally done this is to upload a work-in-progress to a testing location site. In most cases this was a customer specific sub-domain one of my domains. I set it up where it would not be indexed by search engines and only gave the link out to the client. I would upload changes from my system to the server when certain milestones were completed and inform the client via phone or email. In some cases, I uploaded the final product to the client's domain and in others they did it.
In a few cases, the client had development and beta locations of their own they wanted me to use. Most notably, this was done to allow me to have access to development databases on their server. In these cases, I never had access to a production server, only development and testing servers. The client's IT staff handled deployment to production.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a "Splurge" item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, I'd start with Image's new anthology Thought Bubble Anthology #1 (Image, $2.99). That Becky Cloonan cover is great, and seeing that the book holds new shorts from Andy Diggle, Duncan Fegredo and others is enticing. Next up would be a DC three-pack: Swamp Thing #4 (DC, $2.99), Animal Man #4 (DC, $2.99), Action Comics #4 (DC, $3.99). DC really wins this week when it comes to my wallet, and these three books are becoming the key titles in the New 52.
If I had $30, I'd try out Matt Fraction and Terry Dodson's Defenders #1 (Marvel, $3.99). While I was nonplussed by their previous collaboration in Uncanny X-Men, I remain high on other segments of their work and hope this one lives up to that potential. Next up would be X-Club #1 (Marvel, $2.99), based solely on this eclectic line-up. The X-Club was one of the few parts of the previously mentioned Fraction run on Uncanny X-Men I enjoyed, and I hope this mini makes them a more viable part of the universe long-term. Next up I'd get iZombie #20 (DC/Vertigo, $2.99) for the ongoing adventures of Roberson and Allred and Irredeemable #32. I'm really enjoying what Diego Barreto brings to the book, and Mark Waid continues to deliver.
If I could splurge, I'd get IDW's collection of Mike Grell's Shaman's Tears maxi-series. This was one of the early Image titles, and gave me my first glimpse of Grell's work and the potential for Image outside the original 7. As the series went on I ended up going back to track down Grell's earlier work, but Shaman's Tears holds a special place and I'm anxious to relive it without dusting off my longboxes.

(CNN) -- The Obama campaign launched Monday the first in a series of positive ads aimed at highlighting the president's record on such issues as the economy and foreign policy.
Called "Go," the first ad begins and ends by addressing voters' concerns about the economy, reminding Americans that President Obama inherited an economic mess from the previous administration. The one-minute spot makes the case that Obama's policies have helped middle-class Americans and will continue to do more in the future.
"Some said our best days were behind us, but not him," the narrator says before the ad cuts to Obama appearing at an auto industry bailout event saying, "Don't bet against the American worker."
The ad claims the American auto industry "is back" -- a message meant to appeal to voters in in the manufacturing industry in states like Michigan and Ohio.
The ad also touts the killing of al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden -- "our greatest enemy brought to justice by our greatest heroes" -- and the withdrawal of troops from Iraq with a picture of a little girl running into her father's arms at his homecoming. Military families are among the groups the campaign is trying to woo.
On a conference call with reporters Monday, senior Obama adviser David Axelrod said the campaign will spend $25 million on ads in May, adding that the campaign is also prepared to "respond to the attacks" from Team Romney and the super PACs supporting his candidacy.
On Sunday, Axelrod brushed off Romney accusations that the president is running away from his record, saying in an appearance on ABC's "This Week" that the "extensive ad campaign" would show "where we were and where we've come and things we've accomplished."
Axelrod added that the ads will show "many other things that we're proud of and that show the progress we've made since the president has been elected."
In the portion of the ad the Romney campaign is likely to seize upon, the narrator touts job growth as one of Obama's accomplishments.
"Instead of losing jobs we're creating them. Over 4.2 million so far. We're not there yet. it's still too hard for too many. But we're coming back," the narrator says.
In the most recent jobs report released Friday, unemployment dropped to 8.1% in April in part because more than 340,000 Americans dropped out of the workforce -- a fact the Romney campaign was quick to point out. The campaign released over the weekend its own video critical of the president's economic record, pointing to the weak numbers in the jobs report and saying "Obama isn't working."
"Americans will hear a lot from President Obama in the coming months, but what they won't hear from him is the fact that his policies have wreaked havoc on the middle class," Romney campaign spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said in a statement."
She added: "After a doubling of gas prices, declining incomes, millions of foreclosures, and record levels of unemployment, Americans know they're not better off than they were four years ago. Mitt Romney's pro-growth agenda will get America back on track and stop the middle-class squeeze of the Obama economy."
The Obama campaign is seeking to combat that kind of message by building a counter-narrative with ads like the one released Monday.
The campaign is trying to tell a story about the economy and the recovery -- arguing things would have been far worse without Obama in the White House. Offering data to show conditions are improving, the campaign argues that the trend will continue for the middle class if Obama remains in office.
At his campaign rallies in Ohio and Virginia on Saturday, Obama said Romney "doesn't get" how to help the middle class. The new campaign spot offers a positive spin on the message, saying Obama is fighting to defend middle-class Americans.
The ad concludes with the narrator saying: "America's greatness comes from a strong middle class. Because you don't give up. And neither does he."
Some of the president's most senior advisers say their research shows that even many undecided voters believe Obama works hard and is trying to do his best. The ad's conclusion seems to be playing into that sentiment.
The ad will be released early this week in the key battleground states of Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
A campaign spokesperson says it will be a "substantial" ad buy and more positive ads will follow.

Making Jewish day school affordable is a holy endeavor that lacks an easy or obvious solution. Keeping Jewish education at its current level, and figuring out ways to make it better is our first priority; making it affordable is a close second. As we go through this uncertain process of making Jewish education affordable, we need to remember that Jewish education plays such a central role in our religion that as God describes his reason to distinguish Avraham, he states, "For I have singled him out, that he may instruct his children and his posterity to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is just and right"

This piece, the follow up to my recent discussion of the financial and non-financial costs of yeshiva day schools, proposes what I respectfully submit is a relatively simple and intuitive solution to this fundamental flaw in the yeshiva day school model. Put in place, it would radically alleviate yeshiva day school costs without compromising our children's Jewish education, and potentially make that education more effective and lasting.

Practitioners and Researchers: Who needs to know what about Jewish education today – Jeducation World
The Joint Conference on Research in Jewish Education, a partnership between the Baltimore Hebrew Institute, the Network for Research in Jewish Education and the Association for the Social Scientific Study of Jewry, was held recently at Towson University.
Whether you love it or hate it, your students are -- and will be -- playing Pokémon Go. Instead of seeing the game as a further distraction, why not see it as an opportunity to bring Jewish education to life in the eyes of a teen? Here are 6 ways you can use the game to your creative advantage!
The Traditional Lesson Planning Model Has Failed Jewish Educators… Time for a New Model – Jeducation World
The lesson planning process I learned five decades ago will sound far too familiar to readers who are teachers or prospective teachers. Some of the language has changed over the years but the approach has remained the same. And it is not working. All evidence points to the fact that this approach has never been a good fit for Jewish educators and is now completely inadequate for Jewish experiential and informal Jewish educators (those working in non-school settings). The model fails in three ways: A) Does not encourage creative thinking; B) Limits what can be taught; C) Does not address needs of experiential educators or educators in informal settings.
Today, Jewish creativity is all around us – and especially in Israel, a country that has become known as the "Startup Nation." This summer, students participating in Birthright Israel will have a chance to discover just what this widespread tagline really means at Birthright's new entrepreneurship center, State of Mind.
MOFET JTEC - Financial Constraints on Intensive Jewish Education: The Interactive Effects of Financial Capacity and Jewish Connections
From jtec
This paper examines the independent and interactive effects of financial capacity and Jewish connections on reported constraints in purchasing two intensive forms of Jewish education, day school and overnight summer camp. The analysis is structured around three hypotheses: (1) financial capacity is inversely related to constraints on Jewish education; (2) Jewish connections increase or decrease the level at which financial capacity determines financial constraints on Jewish education; (3) the strength of the inverse relationship between financial capacity and financial constraints on Jewish education varies by the strength of Jewish connections.

A trustee of the College since 1998—and chairman from 2000 to 2011—public policy expert and education advocate Deborah Wadsworth died this week. She had a keen understanding of the power and potential of education to transform society and, while not an alumna herself, was fiercely committed to Bennington.
Prior to her retirement, Deborah Wadsworth was the president of Public Agenda, an organization that works to help citizens better understand critical policy issues and the nation's leaders better understand the public's point of view. Throughout her career she spoke and wrote widely on how citizens think about issues ranging from abortion and education to crime, national security, and welfare. She served as a consultant to the Mathematical Sciences Education Board of the National Research Council, the New American Schools Development Corporation, and the Public Education Network. In addition to Bennington, she served on the boards of Public Agenda and the Center for Public Policy and Higher Education, and was chairman of the board of the Educational Development Center, an international organization working in more than 50 countries serving youngsters through education and health care initiatives worldwide. Wadsworth held degrees from Wellesley College and Columbia University. She was preceded in death by her husband, Frank W. Wadsworth, and is survived by several grown children and growing grandchildren.

I was looking at a platform experience engineer job opening and I was wondering how that was different from a qa engineering position? Is it just qa for a platform rather than a product?

What is the difference between a platform experience engineer and a quality assurance engineer? [closed]

This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. For help making this question more broadly applicable, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
As with all positions the title means whatever the hiring company wants it to mean, nothing more.
The term "QA Engineer" might mean "Tester", "Standards Enforcer", "Auditor", "part-time Developer/Analyst", all of these, or none of these. I've seen them all. In my company, the team used to consist of "QA Engineers", until we were purchased by a larger corporation. Now we are "QA Analysts". Our role hasn't changed, just the titles.
The same might be true of "Platform Experience Engineer". It probably means something like "a person who checks to see if our applications conform to our standards for platform experience". Or perhaps not.
Check with the hiring company and with the job posting. Often the stated requirements give you some clues.
The term itself is kind of subjective without more context. In your link you refer to Live Mesh and since someone felt the need to explain (although not very clearly) what a platform experience is it might be an indication how subjective it is.
Wikipedia has a definition to the term experience design which may be a new or more prominent consideration in technology these days.
Depending on what platform experience is there may be some overlap with software testing but it's hard to say for sure.

GENESEO, N.Y. -- Four SUNY Geneseo students have captured some of the most competitive grants or scholarships in the country with the recent presentation of two Fulbright Awards, a Goldwater Scholarship and a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship.
Graduating seniors Bridget Kelly, a geography major from Bayport, N.Y., and Connor Burgevin, an English and French double major from Trumansburg, N.Y., are among four Geneseo students to win a prestigious Fulbright Award the past three years. Kelly and Burgevin both received English teaching assistantships to teach in Malaysia and Morocco, respectively, starting next fall. Both will be in the classroom in those countries to provide assistance to teachers of English to non-native English-speakers. They also will serve as cultural ambassadors for the United States.
About 1,500 U.S. students receive Fulbrights each year, awarded only to students who have completed their undergraduate work. The Fulbright Program is the U.S. government's flagship international exchange program, designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and people of other countries.
Receiving a Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship is sophomore Julia Mizutani, an international relations major from Elizaville, N.Y., for study this summer in Uganda. The Gilman scholarship program offers grants for U.S. citizen undergraduate students of limited financial means to pursue academic studies abroad. Such study is intended to better prepare U.S. students to assume significant roles in an increasingly global economy and interdependent world. It's the third year in a row that a Geneseo student has received a Gilman scholarship.
Announced earlier this semester was junior Carrie Levinn receiving a highly competitive national Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship for her achievement and potential in the field of chemistry. Levinn, from Averill Park, N.Y., received one of 271 scholarships that the Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Foundation awarded to undergraduate sophomores and juniors from the United States for the 2013-14 academic year.

The 8 Most Excessively Disturbing Public Health Campaigns
#4. "If You Don't Help Feed Them, Who Will?"
Raul Montifar / Y&R Philippines via Theinspirationroom.com
The Philippines can be a harsh mistress. Only 40 percent of the population receives adequate nutrition, and a number of those who go hungry are very young children. Luckily, organizations like Concordia Children's Services exist to help care for all the abandoned infants (CCS deals specifically with kids in Manila). Arguably less lucky is the fact that they generate awareness for their cause by using twinkling gems of horror like this ad featuring mewling dirt children gnawing on the teats of a giant pig.
The caption in the lower right corner reads "If you don't help feed them, who will?" because we know you didn't realize that there was writing on that picture until just now. Concordia Children's Services doesn't go for the violin music and bearded man in flannel apologetically asking you to donate money -- it grabs a stick of wrought impoverished horror and beats you in the face with it until you throw your wallet at them and run away.
#3. "Don't Treat Others the Way You Don't Want to Be Treated"
Shock tactics in animal abuse PSAs are nothing new. PETA is particularly infamous for their patented brand of shitheadery, which in the past has both made fun of a man's cancer and described the eating of chicken and the Holocaust as essentially the same thing. But the recent campaign by the U.K. animal rights group Humans for Animals, entitled "Don't Treat Others the Way You Don't Want to be Treated," takes the PETA formula and increases the crazy to Kubrickian levels. The ads depict people and animals switching places in some of the more brutal cases of animal cruelty around the globe, from the baby-seal-clubbing above to the eating of live monkey brains, which is a delicacy in China ...
... to laboratory testing on mice:
TBWA Paris via Adforum.com
"We're going to need to make a few modifications on my cellphone."
Humans for Animals may boast the best webpage design 1996 had to offer, but their message is timeless: Being subjected to some of the things animals are routinely put through would be pretty goddamned awful. Unfortunately, to a passerby, the only message is going to be "So those seals are murdering our children now? To war!"
#2. "Rain Changes Everything"
Papakura, New Zealand, is plagued by a high number of road fatalities that are arguably a result of the country's extensive rainy seasons. The "Rain Changes Everything" campaign is an attempt to persuade drivers to throttle back a little on wet pavement. The billboards feature a young boy's face and a simple message pleading with people to drive appropriate to the conditions of the road. On a sunny day, it's a boring picture of a kid. But when it rains, he starts oozing blood from every orifice.
What sorcery is this? The rainwater drips into a reservoir behind the billboard, which contains a red concoction that then leaks out of several holes in the picture to make it look like the kid's face has been smashed through a windshield (although his expression doesn't change, so he seems fairly OK with it). As you rocket past, hastily mashing out a hilarious text message, you'll look up and see those blood-soaked eyes reaching into your mind for every lie you've ever told.
Officials say that the ads have been remarkably effective, considering how many people you'd think would go swerving off the road in terror as soon as they glimpsed it in their windshield.
#1. "If You See a Child as Anything More ..."
Via Serve Advertising, via Coloribus
Wisconsin has a serious problem with statutory rape -- a whopping 71 percent of teen pregnancies in the state involve a father over the age of 20, meaning out of every four teen moms, three of them were implanted with the writhing, mustachioed seed of some shambling predator (and not the awesome kind that turns invisible and comes from space).
To try to generate awareness of this staggering figure (and ideally lower it in the process), the Family Violence Partnership in Milwaukee joined forces with a nonprofit marketing agency called Serve to find three of the breastiest women in the state and Photoshop the heads of prepubescent girls onto their bodies:

Wait, is that Punky Brewster?
After showing these images, we guarantee two things -- female readers are half-laughing, half-gasping out some variation of "Oh my God," and male readers are scrolling down as fast as they can before somebody walks by and sees their screen.
The ads were originally meant to run as giant billboards, but after they tested poorly in focus groups (because apparently public awareness campaigns meant to defend children against sexual abuse are beholden to the exact same set of standards as a Hot Pocket commercial), they were all but entirely canceled. Incredibly, the only distribution the campaign ever saw outside of the Internet was as a series of life-size posters displayed in public bathroom stalls, which you may recognize as places where violent lunatics almost never go to masturbate.

Social Bullying Common in TV Shows Kids Watch
Sept. 27, 2012 -- Social bullying is common on TV, even in shows made for kids, a new study shows.
Insults, taunting, and other forms of nonphysical aggression were found to be especially pervasive in cartoons and situation comedies, but they also showed up in some surprising places, like American Idol.
Physical violence on TV has long been a favorite topic of researchers, but the study is among the first to explore social aggression in television viewed most often by children.
On average, there were about 14 incidents an hour of social aggression in the 50 most watched television shows among 2- to 11-year-olds, and about nine out of 10 shows contained the bad behavior.
"Many shows that are really popular with young kids are not made for young kids," says researcher Nicole Martins, PhD.
She adds that even though the bad behavior exhibited in these shows usually has consequences, kids younger than age 8 often miss the moral message.
Social Bullying Common in Comedies, Cartoons
The findings are likely no surprise to parents familiar with hit shows on Disney or Nickelodeon, especially those aimed at tweens but widely watched by younger children.
A typical plot line for shows like Nickelodeon's mega-hit iCarly and Disney's Hannah Montana involves rude, sarcastic, or otherwise bad behavior -- often delivered by the sidekick or best friend.
By the end of the show, these "mean girls" generally get their comeuppance, but younger kids may not connect this with the earlier actions, Martins says.
Even shows made for very young children, like the cartoon Rugrats, often have characters like the uber-bully Angelica, who exist solely to torment the other characters.
Martins says the fact that most of the social aggression kids see on TV occurs in comedies presents a special challenge.
"We know that when you couch aggression in humor it increases the chances of imitation because children are less likely to recognize that what is being said is hurtful," Martins says.
Mean Behavior Depicted as Cool
Using Nielsen Media Research data, Martins identified the 50 most viewed TV shows by children under age 12, and she watched three episodes of each program.

One of Louisville's hottest boutique's is behind the celebs who will help pack The Julep 2012.
Glasscock Boutique has helped secure a guest list for the Derby Eve gala that includes fashion designer Christian Siriano, actor Fred Willard, Green Bay Packers linebacker AJ Hawk, "Glee Star" Max Adler, Zachery Ty Bryan, of "Home Improvement" fame, actress Doris Roberts and actor-producer David Arquette.
The Julep, which benefits the James Graham Brown Cancer Center, is May 4 at The Galt House. Glasscock owner Mary F and her husband Ed Glasscock are serving as honorary chairs of the event along with University of Louisville football coach Charlie Strong and his wife, Victoria.
"Ed and I are both excited about the opportunity to serve as honorary chairs," said Mary F Glasscock. "The James Graham Brown Cancer Center is one of the jewels in Louisville's crown, and such a vital part of the continued growth of our community. We are grateful that these famous individuals are willing to lend their star-power to our cause. And it has been delightful to work with Coach Strong and Victoria to see this project through to fruition."
The push to land reconizable names for The julep began when Glasscock representative Todd Calvert attended Fashion Week in New York City. "It became a game: Who could I walk up to next and convince to join us for The Julep?" he said.
The Julep is the largest annual fundraiser for the James Graham Brown Cancer Center. Besides Glasscock, other sponsors include Brown-Forman, Churchill Downs, Frost Brown Todd and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
