Online banking service allows bank customers to conveniently handle banking matters that previously would have required the customer to visit an automated teller machine (ATM) or a brick-and-mortar banking center. While an online banking service may offer great benefits of convenience to the customer, the enrollment process may leave more to be desired. For example, some enrollment processes may involve multiple systems and may be difficult to navigate or organize. In addition, some online banking enrollment processes may be part of one or more larger systems. As such, errors and delays may occur in the enrollment process frustrating potential customers.
In addition, while the online banking service offers many features, each available feature to the customer may be another process or procedure that the customer may need to learn in order to use the online banking service properly. In fact, because it may be days or weeks between when the customer learns how to use the online banking service and when the customer actually uses the online banking service, a customer may have difficulty in remembering how the service works.
From a financial institution's point of view, agents might not be selling the benefits of online banking service sufficiently such that the customer engages in online banking services. For example, some agents may be too verbose in describing the product, therefore quickly losing the attention of the customer. Other agents might not be giving a full explanation of how the online banking service works and the benefits that the service provides, and as a result, the customer fails to understand and/or appreciate the online banking service. In another example, the enrollment process spans multiple platforms and systems such that the process may have multiple opportunities to stall at different points in the process.
While customers may already be able to enroll into an online banking service, many customers choose not enroll for one or more reasons set forth above.
This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described in the Detailed Description. The summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
In one aspect, a customer may enroll into an online banking service by participating in a two-phase initial enrollment session where the first phase may include providing customer account information, creating a customer identification name and passcode, and receiving confirmation of the creation of the online banking access. The second phase may include logging on to the customer's online banking profile with the created identification and passcode, and receive a tutorial on how to use the online banking system while the customer is logged into the customer's account during the initial enrollment session. The customer may also be able to set the customer's account preferences during the initial enrollment session.
In another aspect, a bank agent may initiate the customer enrollment process, walk the customer through an online banking tutorial, and the bank agent may receive incentive credit for doing so before the customer logs out of the customer's online banking session for the first time.
In the following description of various illustrative embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which is shown, by way of illustration, various embodiments in which the claimed subject matter may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present claimed subject matter.
Computer 100 may output data through a variety of components and devices. As mentioned above, one such output device may be display 120. Another output device may include an audio output device such as speaker 125. Each output device 120 and 125 may be associated with an output adapter such as display adapter 122 and audio adapter 127, which translates processor instructions into corresponding audio and video signals. In addition to output systems, computer 100 may receive and/or accept input from a variety of input devices such as keyboard 130, storage media drive 135 and/or microphone (not shown). As with output devices 120 and 125, each of the input devices 130 and 135 may be associated with an adapter 140 for converting the input into computer readable/recognizable data. In one or more instances, a device such as media drive 135 may act as both an input and output device allowing users to both write and read data to and from the storage media (e.g., DVD-R, CD-RW, etc.).
Computer 100 may further include one or more communication components for receiving and transmitting data over a network. Various types of networks include cellular networks, digital broadcast networks, Internet Protocol (IP) networks and the like. Computer 100 may include adapters suited to communicate through one or more of these networks. In particular, computer 100 may include network adapter 150 for communication with one or more other computer or computing devices over an IP network. In one example, adapter 150 may facilitate transmission of data such as electronic mail messages and/or financial data over a company or organization's network. In another example, adapter 150 may facilitate transmission or receipt of information from a world wide network such as the Internet. Adapter 150 may include one or more sets of instructions relating to one or more networking protocols. For example, adapter 150 may include a first set of instructions for processing IP network packets as well as a second set of instructions associated with processing cellular network packets. In one or more arrangements, network adapter 150 may provide wireless network access for computer 100.
One of skill in the art will appreciate that computing devices such as computer 100 may include a variety of other components and is not limited to the devices and systems described in
According to an aspect of the invention, a customer may enroll for an online bank account at an agent workstation, bank kiosk, via a computer connected to the internet, a mobile device such as a cellular phone, at an ATM or any other device which may be able to receive and transmit information.

The customer identification name may be, for example, a unique combination of letters and numbers which may be used by the customer or financial institution to identify the customer and the customer's corresponding online banking profile. In one aspect, the customer identification name may be chosen by the customer at the time of enrollment. In another aspect, the name may be pre-determined. For example, the customer identification name may be the customer's first and last name along with the customer's birthday (e.g., firstlastMMDDYYYY).
The passcode may be, for example, a password or a random combination of alphanumeric characters and may further be subject to other criteria (e.g., the passcode may not contain the customer's name or birth date). In one aspect, the passcode may be chosen by the customer. In another aspect, the passcode may be pre-determined. For example, the passcode may be a random combination of letters and numbers. For security purposes, the passcode might not contain any words or numbers of significance (e.g., the customer's name, birthday, social security number, and the like).
At step 210, computer 100 may finalize creation of the customer account. In one aspect, an email or text message may be sent to an email address provided by the customer during the enrollment process with customer account creation notification.
At step 215, upon finalization of the online account creation, the customer may be logged into the customer's online account for the first time. In one configuration, the customer may be automatically logged in to the customer's account following the creation of the customer's passcode and identification. In another configuration, the customer may be prompted to log-in to the customer's account.
At step 220, upon logging into the customer's online account for the first time, an application may be launched to assist the customer in learning how to use the online banking system. The launched application may be a demonstration of the various features available to the customer and may direct the customer to follow audio or visual instructions in order to familiarize the customer with the online banking system.
In one aspect, the application may accept input from the customer to aid the customer in familiarizing the customer in retaining what is demonstrated. For example, the application may ask the customer to click on certain links or type in alphanumeric characters at certain locations. In another aspect, the application might not require input from the customer. For example, the application may describe an online banking function and then demonstrate the function with an automated cursor and/or audio instruction without customer input.
Referring back to
Referring back to
In one aspect, the demonstration may include an agent may activate the different tabs or links within the online banking service and describing how to use the service included in each tab. For example, the agent may click, mouse-over, or otherwise activate on an accounts overview tab or link and describe to the customer what the account overview may include and how to access those features. Next, the agent may activate a bill payment tab or link and explain how the customer may use the bill payment feature. In another example, the agent may activate on the customer service tab or link and describe which service features may be accessed by the customer if the customer clicks on the customer service tab or link and how to access those features.
In another aspect, where the customer may be enrolling into an online banking system at a branch office with an agent, the demonstration may include pause points when the agent may answer any questions the customer may have or where the customer may further familiarize him or herself with the interface and the options available and may continue the demonstration at the customer's desire. For instance, the pause points may be or comprise a pause button. By pressing on the button, the demonstration may be paused. By pressing a play or continue button, the demonstration may pick up where the demonstration left off and may return to the appropriate interface to resume the demonstration from a different interface. In another aspect, before moving on to the next feature after demonstrating one feature, the demonstration may allow the user to review the segment of the demonstration again. Alternatively, a shortened "quick review" demonstration may be selected or presented to the customer.
In another aspect, the customer may be asked to participate in a quiz as part of the demonstration before logging out of the customer's online banking profile. Alternatively, the quiz may be provided after the demonstration has completed. Such a quiz may be designed, for example, to reinforce what the customer should have learned during the demonstration. In one aspect, successful completion of the quiz may qualify the customer for a prize. For example, the prize may be account related (e.g., a boost in the interest rate for a customer account for a pre-determined period of time) or may be a discount or waiver for certain features accessible to the customer which otherwise may include a fee.
In one aspect, the customer may be allowed to select the particular banking features that the customer may use more frequently. For example, a customer may know in advance or estimate that the customer may typically use online banking for online bill pay or for transferring money from the customer's checking account to the customer's savings account and vice versa. By selecting these options during the demonstration, the demonstration may be focused on those features. For example, the demonstration may demonstrate these features first and review these features at the end. In another aspect, the customer's homepage may be customized based on the features the customer selected. For example, after logging in, instead of being re-directed to a general homepage, the customer may be directed to a page where the customer may make bill payments or may transfer money instead.
Additionally, the customer may be able to set customer account preferences during the demonstration. For example, in demonstrating to the customer which tabs or pages within the graphical interface may allow the customer to set customer preferences, the demonstration may allow the customer to personalize the customer's account and select the different preferences which the customer may desire. Examples of different settings which may be available to the customer during the demonstration may include an option to suppress statements delivered via snail mail to the customer's listed address or to change the frequency that statements are mailed out.
At step 305, computer 100 may deposit incentive credit earned into the agent account and may update the incentive credit earned account information. At step 310, the agent enrolling a customer or referring a customer for enrollment into an online banking system may receive additional incentive credit when the customer reaches a certain segment of a demonstration of the online banking system. For example, the demonstration may request that the agent click on a certain link or otherwise perform an action and the agent may receive additional incentive credit if the customer successfully performs the requested action. Alternatively, if the demonstration reaches a certain segment, the agent may automatically receive the additional incentive credit. Additionally, if the customer completes a post-demonstration quiz during the enrollment session, the agent may receive additional incentive credit based on the quiz score obtained by the customer. At step 315, additional incentive credits earned by the agent may be deposited into the agent's incentive account and the incentive account may be updated accordingly.
At step 320, computer 100 may determine that customer may have logged into the customer's online bank account subsequent to the initial log-in during the customer enrollment session. At step 325, computer 100 may incentive credit the agent incentive credit account with a predefined number of incentive credits and, accordingly, may update the account. In one configuration, 48 hours after computer 100 updates an agent incentive credit account, the agent may view the updated agent incentive credit account to verify that the appropriate number of incentive credits was added to the agent incentive credit account. In another configuration, the incentive credit account may be updated in real-time and immediately after computer 100 updates an agent incentive credit account, the agent may view the updated agent incentive credit account to verify that the appropriate number of incentive credits was added to the agent incentive credit account.
In one aspect, the method of enrolling a customer into an online bank account and the method of incentive crediting an agent for enrolling a customer into an online banking system may be combined.
In another aspect, the entire enrollment process may be web-based. For example, the agent may walk a customer through the entire enrollment process from the agent workstation by visiting an internal website. In another example, the customer may be able to begin and complete the entire enrollment process by visiting the financial institution's website.
Aspects described herein are contemplated to be applicable for use by any type service or product provider. Service providers may include banks, mobile service providers, and the like. Product providers may be product manufacturers or product distributors.
While illustrative embodiments described herein embody various aspects are shown, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to these embodiments. Modifications may be made by those skilled in the art, particularly in light of the foregoing teachings. For example each of the elements of the aforementioned embodiments may be utilized alone or in combination or sub-combinations with the elements of the other embodiments. It will also be appreciated and understood that modification may be made without departing from the true spirit and scope of the present intention. The description is thus to be regarded as illustrative instead of restrictive on the present intention.

Let's play Dominion.
I have the base game and the Intrigue and Prosperity expansions. With the Intrigue set that can play up to 6. If someone else can bring a base set, that's another 4, or base set and Intrigue and we can have a maximum of 12. (I'm still limited by 2 tables.)
I can bring 2 base sets and a table. Do you have enough chairs? I Wil also bring prosperity, hinterlands, and dark ages.

In my experience 6-player Dominion is awful. Several cards are just not designed for that many players (Swindler will end the game in 3-4 plays sometimes) and the rules don't officially support it. Limiting it to 8 and doing two 4-player games would be a lot better, and you could support it with the cards you have from the two sets since Intrigue comes with a second set of money/victory/curse cards.

Product Description
From Amazon
Before there was post-traumatic stress disorder there was shell-shock, the principle cause of Allied desertion during both world wars, and an offence punishable by death. During World War I, 26 Canadian soldiers were put to death, most for "cowardice" or desertion; over the course of World War II only one faced a firing squad, a 23-year-old farmhand from central Ontario. And this solitary judgement, in the view of journalist Andrew Clark, author of A Keen Soldier: The Execution of Second World War Private Harold Pringle, was not only deeply flawed, but also politically motivated.
A Keen Soldier reads as part dark history lesson, part true-crime novel. Clark, through a series of veteran testimonials, family letters, court transcripts, and declassified service records, pieces together Pringle's war experience in Italy, his desertion, the murder he was charged with while a member of a theft ring in Rome, and his subsequent trial and execution. His research is extraordinary, given the dearth of information and a dwindling witness pool, as are the many eye-opening side trips into disgraceful Canadian military conduct overseas. Clark is as adept at bringing long-dead characters to life as he is at re-creating the political circumstances that made Pringle a public relations liability for then Prime Minister Mackenzie King. Throughout it all, he intersperses numerous heartbreaking letters written home by an increasingly despondent, largely abandoned Pringle. All the missives open and close identically: "Just a few lines again To say Im well and in the very best of health. I sure hope and pray this few lines find you all in the best of health.... From your lonesome Son Harold answer real soon." These phrases evolve into a morbid mantra as time runs out on Pringle's life, something Clark exploits to great effect.
Though the writing weakens when Clark's literary aspirations poke through the fabric of the narrative (especially in the book's final paragraphs, in which the author launches into a forced, mostly disingenuous symbolic reading of Pringle-as-Christ-figure, his death as absolution for war--blech), his journalistic instincts are grounded. In the end, he makes a compelling case for Pringle's innocence, a victim of a government that went to great lengths to sacrifice one of its own sons. --Jamie O'Meara --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
"...meticulously researched... Instead of a straightforward black-and-white story, Clark offers a personal look at the kid from a small town in Ontario and the relatives and war veterans who were affected by [Pringle's] troubled life and untimely death."
—The National Post, 11 November 2002
"[A] powerful debut, written in a vivid but admirably controlled style, which only serves to intensify the passion for the truth, and compassion for the soldiers, that burns through its pages."
—The Toronto Star, 10 November 2002
"Using personal correspondence, court documents and interviews with many of the principal characters, Clark masterfully tells the story of Pringle's final days. …He does a wonderful job of putting the tragic story of this young soldier into a more complete historical context."
—Globe and Mail
"In what may be one of the best biographies of the year, reporter Andrew Clark strips away the darkness around one of the sorriest episodes in Canada's military history: the execution of a deserter accused of murder under dubious circumstances in the months following the Second World War. It's a fine detective story, a tribute to the courage of the Canadians who fought in Italy, and a stirring indictment of political betrayal."
—New Brunswick Reader
"Andrew Clark, an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker from Toronto, has pieced together this troubled life through relentless detective work, strong investigative research, and sheer good luck….Clark has shed important and substantial light on [the] tragic episode [of Pringle's sentence]….A Keen Soldier tells a disturbing story, and Pringle's case may represent injustice at its absolute worst….By helping to reopen the Pringle file, A Keen Soldier may be a catalyst for the reassessment of a matter that represents an unfortunate footnote to Canada's superb war effort in Italy."
—The Beaver
"Reading this book is no easy feat, knowing that within its pages a very real young man will die. He is not some fictional hero who lays down his life for his friends in a noble cause, or some diabolical villain who, in the end, gets his just deserts. This is the story of a young man who could easily be the father, brother, friend or husband of any of us. … The execution of Harold Pringle is truly one of the great tragedies of Canadian military history, and Andrew Clark is to be commended for allowing a shaft of light into this dark corner of our country's past."
—The Telegram (St. John's)
"With this troubling tale of a Canadian soldier in World War II, Andrew Clark calls into question the ideals that are said to have motivated the Canadian effort in that war — of justice, decency, open-mindedness, and virtue. The enormously sad and sobering story of Harold Pringle is told here with grim panache and poetic flair."
—Modris Eksteins, author of Walking since Daybreak and The Rites of Spring
"It's precisely the slow pace and quiet language in this fascinating account of a bizarre Canadian military execution in Italy fifty-five years ago that so powerfully convey war's awfulness and absurdity."
—Ernest Hillen, author of The Way of a Boy: A Memoir of Java and Small Mercies: A Boy after War
"Andrew Clark has written a heartbreaking book on the quality of mercy. A Keen Soldier gets to the essence of modern warfare — to the faceless, pitiless bureaucracies that wage such war and convey utter disregard for the qualities that make us human. The 'keen soldier' is the boy whose soul is lost in every war, no matter what his fate."
—Jack Todd, author of The Taste of Metal

It has several things going for it, which make it a top notch book. It is well researched and is very much a labour of love. This is obvious. It is fairly well written and a pleasure to read. Finally, it looks at some otherwise unusual aspects of Canadian military life. I have read lots of military history, but very little has mentioned the legal system. So I found this very fascinating. Others might not.
On the flip side, the author does stretch some things out and it feels like a bit of padding. I think some things could have been edited out and not have hurt the book.
But ... that is no big deal. Just a few more pages to read, and they are well written.
Am very pleased I got this as a gift.
I just have to add to my review and increase my rating. This book is by no means an academic work (and if it was, it would be at least double the length) but in tracing Pringle's life the book touches on many unique and not well known bits of Canadian military history. The prisons, jails, the legal system and most fascinating to me, a glimpse into the war time criminal underworld in Italy.
If you want a selection of fascinating digressions all in one well written book, this is it!
Book Description
When award-winning journalist Andrew Clark found the file on Harold Joseph Pringle, he uncovered a Canadian tragedy that had lain buried for fifty years. This extraordinary story of the last soldier to be executed by the Canadian military -- likely wrongfully -- gives life to the forgotten casualties of war and brings their honour home at last.
Harold Pringle was underage when the Second World War broke out, eager to leave quiet Flinton, Ontario, to serve by his father's side. But few who volunteered to fight "the good fight" realized what horror lay ahead; soon Pringle found himself in Italy, fighting on the bloody "Hitler Line," where two-thirds of his company were killed. Shell-shocked, he embarked on a tragic, final course that culminated in a suspect murder conviction.
His appeal was reviewed by the highest levels of government, right up to prime minister King. But Private Pringle was put to death -- the only soldier the Canadians executed in the whole of the Second World War. His own countrymen carried out the orders, forbidden to go home before completing this last grotesque assignment, even though the war had ended. The Pringle file was closed and stayed that way for fifty years -- until Andrew Clark uncovered it and began a two-year investigation on Pringle's life in the army.
A Keen Soldier is a true-life military detective story that shows another side of what many consider our proudest military campaign. Andrew Clark examines the fallout of a crisis that disfigured our national conscience and continues to raise questions about the ethics of war.Read more ›
Clark also goes off on long tangents, which are arguably necessary to understand some of the main points the book is trying to present. The use of Colin MacDougall's book EXECUTION to substitute for Pringle's mind set or combat record is pretty unconvincing, however, and falls under the heading "wild speculation."
Clark has done a great job in researching this book, and has hit on some great sources, and in a timely manner. I recommend this book for its clear writing, its attempt to approach the subject in a neutral manner (neither condemning nor condoning either Pringle's conduct nor the Army's conduct), and Clark's overall well done attempt to discuss the broader issues - military justice, battlefield psychology, and the criminal underworld of occupied Italy. Clark is obviously no soldier, he is a journalist, but he shows an understanding of some of the soldier issues inherent in the case, and makes good use of secondary sources available to him - and a wide range of them, at that - as well as the aforementioned primary sources.
Clark obviously worked hard on this book, and it shows. My only reservation is that it may be seen as part of the same revisionism that is fuelling efforts to exonerate those soldiers executed for crimes in the Great War - try as we might, how can we really put ourselves into the minds - or hearts - of those who were alive at the time?Read more ›

We're Canadian and wanted a home in a warm location we could retire to once we leave the work world!
Ken Kirton purchased this condo in 2011
We fell in love with the property and wanted to spend time there. Also a great place for family and friends to visit because of the larger size and luxury ammenities. We really like that both king master bedrooms are of equal style so two couples can have the same benefits (walk in closet), jetted tub, large shower, etc. We really enjoy sitting on the balcony and watching the wildlife and the fireworks.
We really enjoy the combination lake view and golf course view. Can see the Disney fireworks nightly from the balcony!
Great place! Very spacious and relaxing. Feels like home. Excellent for a Disney visit with it being very close to the main gate. My family loved it. This condo is definitely at the top of my list when visiting Orlando.
We just returned from Florida and are missing the condo already. It is a beautiful place to stay, very quiet and with enough space for everyone to have their "alone" time, including a teenager and younger cousin. We enjoyed all the amenities the resort had to offer and the fireworks every night were an added treat. The whole process from initial inquiry to rental to checking in and and out went very smoothly. We are definitely planning a return to this place, probably more then once. This condo is set up for all ages and I can't imagine a nicer place to stay while in the Kissimmee area.
We loved our stay! The condo was very clean and spacious! We are a family of 4, and we all had our on bedroom and bathroom. The full kitchen is a good size and we were able to have breakfast at the condo which saved on some expenses. We really enjoyed sitting on the screen porch having our breakfast and then at night watching fireworks and relaxing! Ken was very easy to work with and sent helpful hints for the area also! We would defiantly rent this again and have recommended it to some of our family!
This was our fourth stay at Lighthouse Key, and our second stay in Ken and Eileen's condo. It was another great trip! We love the location, the cleanliness and the amenities - we rarely saw more than one other family/group at the pool, for example. It's quiet, the staff is friendly, the condo is HUGE - there's nothing more to ask for. Thanks again, from a family of four and an extended family of seven who will be back!
We stayed at this condo for 6 nights and it was perfect for the 7 of us. The condo is beautiful, spacious and clean. The two master's are huge and the bathrooms about the same size as the rooms. The third bedroom with the daybed was perfect for my two teens. The sleeper sofa has a memory foam topper which is going to be my next purchase for my own bed!! It was so comfortable for my daughter. Location is close to all stores and restaurants. Disney is about 10 minutes away and Universal about 25 minutes. The pool is huge with another smaller one behind it and a hot tub. We loved that we were the only people using the entire pool, much unlike at a Disney resort where is is overcrowded. It was nice to come back to a quiet spot for the night after a busy day at the park. I would recommend to anyone thinking of staying off site. The owner is quick to respond with any questions you may have. Thank you Ken and Eileen!!!
Our family of four has frequently visited the Orlando area for Disney/Universal themed trips. We have stayed at various Disney World resorts (ranging from the Grand Floridian to Coronado Springs resort) and most recently at the Grand Hyatt off Disney property. This condo, by far, exceeded our expectations and was THE BEST place we have stayed in Orlando as far as convenience, price, comfort and cleanliness. Both our teenage children (19 and 17) were asking that we book this condo again for our next trip there. The owners, Ken and Eileen were prompt with responses and questions and very honest.
1) close proximity not only to Disney and Universal Studios, but also to restaurants and grocery stores.
2) beautiful, clean, gated property with private pool, spa and its own mini theater
3) extremely spacious for our family of four and no one had to share a bathroom! (our 17 year old daughter said she has now seen her "dream bedroom" as she stayed in the 2nd master bedroom)
4) peaceful and quiet compared to the other resorts we have stayed in when in Orlando (no screaming kids running through the hallways early in the mornings)
5) having a washer/dryer in the unit with a full kitchen stocked with the basics.
6) price - we saved so much money by staying here and were able to budget that into nicer dinners out, etc.
Thank you again, Ken and Eileen for helping us add to our great "family vacation memories"!
Jennifer L.

This year's Young Research Investigators Symposium, sponsored by the office of research and sponsored programs at Montefiore, marked a special occasion. For the first time in the event's 21-year history, young investigators from Einstein's basic science labs presented their research alongside clinical researchers from Montefiore.
First-prize winner Dr. Andrea Zamperone (at left) with second-prize winner Dr. Kartik Mani"This year, more than half of the 25 accepted abstracts were from Einstein investigators," noted Dr. Victor Hatcher, associate dean for continuing medical education and research administration. "The field of presenters aptly reflects the partnership between Einstein and Montefiore."
While the symposium is open to members of all departments at both Einstein and Montefiore, historically it had been attended by mostly Montefiore investigators. "It was great to have more researchers from Einstein take part this year," added Dr. Hatcher. "The diverse fields represented by the presenters enhanced the symposium's academic atmosphere."
Prize-winner and recent Einstein graduate, Dr. Lagu AndrogaDr. Parviz Lalezari, clinical professor of pathology and of neurological surgery, established the annual event as an opportunity for young investigators to present their data and interact with one another. Dr. Richard LoPachin, professor of anesthesiology, joined Dr. Lalezari in judging the investigators' presentations based on their abstracts, their oral presentations and the clinical relevance of their research.
Drs. William Southern, Anna Velcich, and Florence Marlow chaired the symposium's three scientific sessions. Each oversaw groups of young investigators as they presented their 10-minute talks. Presentations concluded with a short "question & answer" session where attendees from diverse departments could offer feedback to the presenters.
"It was great to see so many different departments represented," said Connie Gras, symposium coordinator. "It made for lively Q and A sessions, with presenters receiving helpful feedback."
Other prize winners (from left): Drs. Zhengdong Zhang, Masako Suzuki, Anne Van Arsdale, Yi Zhang and Marta Gronska (not pictured, Dr. Thomas Ow)"The experience provided an invaluable opportunity to learn from peers," agreed Dr. Andrea Zamperone, who received first prize—and $1,000—for his presentation, "DNA Damage Signaling Mechanisms during Helicobacter pylori Infections." A postdoctoral researcher at Einstein, he conducted his work in the laboratory of Dr. Anne Muesch, professor of developmental & molecular biology.
"Events like this symposium are crucial for paving the career path of a young investigator or postdoc," Dr. Zamperone observed. "They offer a unique opportunity to learn how to present your research to a diverse audience and to demonstrate how basic science can have important and direct clinical relevance."
Eight other young investigators, representing the departments of developmental & molecular biology, genetics, radiation oncology, otorhinolaryngology-head and neck surgery, obstetrics & gynecology and women's health, medicine and neuroscience, also received awards. They were:

A quick idea which works for me. After bottled. when serving the beer. Pint glass put 1/4 teaspoon of granulated white sugar (regular sugar u put in coffee). Pour your beer into glass n sugar.Play with this to your liking. Works well for my unbearably bitter IPA.

I would suggest aging the beer, and if that doesnt work, blend it with a nice, sweet, malty amber ale.
I've had bitter hop flavor come from dry hopping as well. The quoted text from the OP makes sense to me: Dry hopping is essentially creating a tincture. Don't believe me?

Skip to comments.Elizabeth Colbert Busch Goes There On Argentine Affair In Debate With Mark Sanford
Posted on 04/29/2013 6:58:03 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
In their first and only debate ahead of a May 7 special election for the House, Mark Sanford (R) and Elizabeth Colbert Busch (D) sparred over budgets, guns, and of course the Republican candidates personal life.
Colbert Busch, a senior administrator at Clemson University, described herself as a tough independent businesswoman who understood budgets from her time in the private sector. Sanford, the former congressman and governor, positioned himself as a veteran lawmaker with a twenty year track record of trying to do something about the way the government spends.
Although South Carolinas First District is considered GOP-leaning, the combination of a scandal-plagued candidate in Sanford and a well-funded opponent in Colbert Busch, whose brother Stephen Colbert has helped raise money nationally, has led analysts to give Democrats the edge in recent days. The National Republican Congressional Committee withdrew its financial support for Sanford this month after news broke that his ex-wife had accused him of trespassing at her home, with a court appearance scheduled for shortly after the election. Recently Sanford has demanded more debates then sparred with a cardboard cutout of Nancy Pelosi when Colbert Busch declined, a tactic associated far more with underdog candidates rather than with former governors who enjoy universal name recognition in their state.
As the NRCCs move suggests, Sanfords recent history is the main reason the race is so competitive. In 2009, he admitted to traveling to Argentina for an affair with his mistress without informing the public he was out of the state. The scandal sparked a state investigation that ended with Sanford paying a $74,000 ethics fine for misusing taxpayer dollars for personal use.
Colbert Busch brought the issue up sparingly but directly. At one point she questioned Sanfords understanding of fiscal prudence, saying it doesnt mean you take that money we saved and leave the country for a personal purpose.
Sanford brought the Argentina episode up at times himself, claiming you dont go through the experience I had back in 2009 without a greater level of humility.
And he slickly rebutted a question from the debate moderator over whether he regretted his vote to impeach President Clinton over his affair with Monica Lewinsky given his own personal history.
I would reverse the quesiton to you and I would say this: Do you think that President Clinton should be condemned for the rest of his life based on a mistake that he made in his life? he said.
Sanfords primary argument against Colbert Busch was that she would prove unwilling to buck national Democrats enough to satisfy the conservative district. Colbert Busch took care to distance herself from House Democratic leaders on a number of issues: She said Obamacare is extremely problematic and praised South Carolinas right to work law restricting union activity. But she embraced a number of party line positions as well, including a recent Senate bill expanding background checks on guns, an immigration bill co-authored by South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham (R), and marriage equality.
Nobody tells me what to do except the people of South Carolinas First District, she said.
mark Sanford can't pass the character and fitness requirements
Sanford is a clown. Are the Republicans there insane?
Sanford is an assclown. But when the choice is between the assclown or the gun grabbing, amnesty pushing democrat there is no choice. I'd have to vote for the assclown.
I would reverse the quesiton to you and I would say this: Do you think that President Clinton should be condemned for the rest of his life based on a mistake that he made in his life? he said.
Sanford reveals his own misunderstanding of Clinton's impeachment.
Clinton wasn't impeached for having an affair. He was impeached for committing perjury in a federal court.
Accordingly, his response wasn't "slick" -- it gave credibility to the questioner's premise and was inaccurate.
the man is a cheat and a creep
I hate and despise Sanford; however, after watching the debate and the union thug democrats acting like hyenas, I don't want that Cobert bitch anywhere near the U.S. capital.
How about . . . YES!!!
A "mistake" is forgetting to carry the one while doing addition......Sanford knowingly did that which he knew was wrong.
"Vote for the weasel. It's important."
".... Character counts."
What counts even more are the coming votes in the House of Representatives that either Sanford or Colbert-Busch will be casting. Votes on issues such as Amnesty for Illegal Aliens and gun control measures that could lead to registration and possible confiscation.
Mark Sanford will vote AGAINST such anti-American bills, Colbert-Busch will vote for them. I, for one, support folks who will resist the gradual decline of America—yes, even those who have had personal conduct issues in the past.
I hope the residents of this Congressional district will show good judgement next week. We are going to need Sanford's vote—particularly since the vote for Amnesty will be so close.
".....after watching the debate and the union thug democrats acting like hyenas, I dont want that Cobert bitch anywhere near the U.S. capital."
LOL -— Nicely put.
"I hope the residents of this Congressional district will show good judgement next week.
Good judgement is scarce;
—SC primary voters picking Sanford.
—District 1 general voters staying home, or voting minor party.
Sanford has already been caught lying in a huge way, but you still want him to represent you in Washington.
Character means nothing as long as a Republican gets elected.
No wonder this nation is in it's death spiral.
"....No wonder this nation is in its death spiral."
I, for one, am not a defeatist so I don't accept that my country is a death spiral—although it is in danger of entering such a death spiral. The danger of going into the death spiral comes from folks making stupid and short-sighted decisions—based upon faulty premises.
A man who does 98 things right for the country and then does two things wrong in his personal life is damned to eternal condemnation. And that person MUST be defeated for those two wrongs and instead a person who WILL VOTE WRONG 75 out of 100 times on important issues allowed to go to Congress.
PS - Enjoy the coming Amnesty—it's going to be a real eye opener for you and your progeny. It will be a wonderful inheritance and the sterling character Colbert-Busch will be one of its parents if it comes about.
Are you sure Sandford will be so dependable? His wife and those who voted for him as govenor thought he could be depended on then he left them for some skanky chick.
On the other han, the opposing candidate is very dependable. Yes?
Absolutely. And that means I'd be voting for Sanford, unfortunately, were I residing in the district.
Its like the choice I have with Alexander and Corker, vote for 2 rino's or not vote for them. My decison is not to vote for them.
Principles matter more than a Republican with questionable Conservative character.
Are you sure Sandford will be so dependable? His wife and those who voted for him as govenor thought he could be depended on then he left them for some skanky chick.
Well he does have a consistent voting record and his political stands have been consistently conservative—those are attributes for which his past voters have supported him and he has not disappointed them. So yes, I think he will be a dependable conservative.
His Nancy Pelosi supported opponent will NOT have a record anywhere near that. And I notice that absolutely nobody questions his opponent about her divorce or her private life and history.
Its like the choice I have with Alexander and Corker, vote for 2 rinos or not vote for them. My decison is not to vote for them.
Principles matter more than a Republican with questionable Conservative character.
Well, Harry Reid and Barack Obama love you baby—and they very much want you to spread that attitude. They too very much dislike "questionable Conservative character" (whatever that means)—particularly when the object of that dislike is consistently conservative and stands firmly in opposition to their agendas.
Hey logic. Awesome to see you here.
He can still step aside
Once again, the Stooooopid Party gets itself in a pickle...
Happens here in VA all the time....
You mean that rich guy? Runs casinos. He was allowed to pick our last candidate but all he knows are Democrats and Democrat techniques. Don't tell me he knows Sanford or his girlfriend too?
"Reid and Obama love it when Republicans vote for rino's who help their leftwing agenda."
Are you a "low information voter"? Do you even know what a RINO is? Do you have even the remotest understanding of the truth that Mark Sanford is NOT a RINO. His political views are like those of Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. So he's a conservative who went through a "mid-life crisis" in his personal life.
I supported Bostic (a conservative with no personal "baggage") in the run-off against Sanford. But since Sanford won that run-off, I'm supporting him in the general election against the Pelosi democrat.
"....But don't blame us in SC...blame anyone who gives one thin dime to the Republican Party."
I'm with you. The Republican Party and its entities will NEVER AGAIN get a single penny from me. I donate when I can afford it to individual campaigns and true conservative PACs (I've contributed to Jim DeMint's Senate fund and the SarahPAC). That way I know that I won't contribute toward the defeat of conservatives by the NRC.
To me, the worse crime was suborning perjury from Betty Currie, a federal employee who was his subordinate.
How quick you are to insult when you are losing the arguement.
Conservatives don't do a vanishing act like Sandford did.
His vanishing act and actions later ruined his credibility.
You may have faith in his promises but so did his then wife and those who elected him govenor.
Sorry, you are clearly hopeless so I won't attempt to further rehabilitate your thinking. Feel free to support the democrat.
That would be best for all concerned but politicians suffer from hubrisitis.

Although there are regulations and complicated processes to contend with, is designing useful health care apps so different from designing other types of applications?

What many veteran network members might find surprising is the event participants communicate with each other far more than do the members of the traditional networks who've known each other for years. And they share – boy do they share! They don't feel the need to be locked into a long-term network arrangement to solicit and offer feedback. They help strangers and expect to be helped by strangers.
As a member of the Owner Summit / Owner Camp network, I thought this was a fascinating read about the history of industry peer groups. At the moment, it's become one of my best tools in my toolbox.

Gridly's home page is a grid of boxes of the most recent posts. The maximum width seems to be three boxes across, matching the three footer widgets. With smaller device widths these numbers are reduced.
The problem I see is on my iPad (landscape) where I have only two boxes across, even though there is room for three. This is evidenced by the fact that all three footer widgets are side-by-side.
Of course there's no developer support for this free theme, but I'd sure love a tweak that would allow three boxes across on all devices that have room.
