Temple has to be very strict about who can enter buildings. ID's have to be presented before entering any building to minimize any threats. Professors try to encourage attendance as much as possible.
Football is the heart and blood of Temple University and we pride ourselves in our team!
Local Area:
Again, because of geographical location, Temple isn't necessarily the safest campus but security is extremely tight. Aside from that, the campus itself is gorgeous and allows for students and locals to enjoy the beauty of the city.
The main reason I am attending Temple is because of its absolutely amazing undergraduate biology program
I love my major!!! Biology in itself and the professors make it so that you enjoy learning and find creative ways to keep Biology interesting and fun for the students!
Campus Food:
The meal plan helps out a little but its not enough
Temple prides itself on it diversity!
Party Scene:
The great thing about being at Temple is that the city and all its fun are just a subway ride away! The only draw back is that I personally would not go out alone without some kind of escort.
Off-Campus Housing:
Living off campus at Temple University Main Campus can be tricky because of the geographical area but overall, there are ALOT of options with a variety of price ranges.
The professors are great at their jobs and very informative and helpful. Temple University also has a wide variety of programs/majors that you could choose to study from and all are top notch.
Being in the education program the counselors and the professors are the best. They often are very involved and try to help you with the material. The advisers are often available to answer questions about internships and job opportunities that are available.
The atmosphere at an athletics event is mesmerizing. All of the students are usually ready to go and very supportive of the teams, though mostly for men's football and basketball.
Off-Campus Housing:
There is usually always someone looking to find a roommate of lease an apartment near or around the college campus, so finding off-campus housing is not hard to find. The places themselves range anywhere from okay to great.
In my experience, they don't seem to always have an answer or the correct answer when talking to them.
Party Scene:
Just like the restaurants, some of the best bars and night clubs are also just a subway ride away.
Off-Campus Dining:
Most of the best restaurants Philadelphia has to offer are just a subway ride away and the subway is located right on campus.
The university isn't too strict on matters but strict enough to make students think before they do things they are not supposed to.
Health & Safety:
There has been very few campus crimes during my stay at the University.
Local Area:
Philadelphia is a great city with many great facilities and revenues to have fun with friends and family.
Guys & Girls:
There are a lot of different types of people here. You can find anyone you're looking for.
Temple is pretty laid back when it comes to most things.
Campus Quality:
The new Mcgonigle hall is incredible. However, they only renovated so the basketball team would have a new space to practice, and not just because it was an old building and needed to be redone.
Campus Quality:
Student life and activities is great. There is a lot going on and a lot to be involved in.
Greek Life:
I personally think Greek life is a way to pay for your friends.
Campus Food:
It's nasty food, it makes you feel sick, and there aren't many other options.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, Temple has its ups and downs, but students seem to love it all the same. On the downside, there can be some head-butts with tyrannical teachers, unfriendly cafeteria workers, and the always-frustrating financial aid office. Housing can cause an enormous hassle, and those commuting have to battle with parking or public transportation. Some people don't feel as though they are prepared for the real world once they leave campus, but others say it's been an incredible learning experience. Those students that love their experience at Temple all have their own reasons. Some love the atmosphere and found it to be a lot of fun. Others found it to be a great place to grow up and discover themselves. Lots of students take away more from living in a big city than they do from the University. But one thing it seems most students agree on is that the people at Temple University are what really make it a worthwhile experience.
In general, students coming to Temple have big expectations, from both the school and the city. Those that graduate either feel that Temple met their expectations, or if it didn't, then it was their own fault for not pursuing more opportunities while they were there. Most students feel that Temple provides them with the opportunities that make their college experiences excellent—as long as they are willing to make use of them.

Pelosi had gone bonkers.
Now US foreign policy is facing backwards in time.
God, how smart in this world with so many problems in the NOW.
Is modern Turkey still part of the Ottoman Empire? Just joking.
If were going to start condemning every bad act from every country committed over their history we might as well forget about congress doing anything else for a few years.
Maybe we can pass a useless resolution condemning all bad acts at once and get it over with. Once we appease the hippies with a that kind of pointless platitude maybe they'll shut up for a bit and we can get some real work done.
Lets have a cry-off between Ellen Deneneress and Chris Crocker
I'm with Giffy @2 for maybe the first time ever. What does a resolution do anyway?
It reminds me of those exercises in government that they encourage grade schoolers to do sometimes, where they draft a bill and get the governor to sign in a new state butterfly or something equally benign. At least that has a teaching component.
Traffic is stupid.
Wank, wank, wank, wank.
What I want to know is, why was this resolution put forward this year, anyway? The victims, and most of their children and grandchildren, are dead. What help does this give them?
This whole issue just shows the extent to which System of a Down controls our foreign policy.
There are actually survivors still alive and living in this country. Not sure about the timing of this resolution, but these sorts of resolutions are sometimes meaningless, sometimes an easy deliverable to a particular constituency at home for a particular member, or sending a bigger message, in this case to the White House -- or maybe Turkey?
I'm not sure why they would send this particular message to a tone deaf and blind administration or to one of our few allies at a very precarious time. I guess our new Democratic majority is also a bit tone deaf. They could have done this resolution the first day they convened for the 2009 session.
This resolution is probably the culmination of someone's life work, but timing is everything, right?
One problem is that the Armenian genocide was committed under the multi-ethnic Ottoman empire with extensive participation of the local Kurdish populations. The political entity Turkey was created from the ground up a number of years after this under a completely different military and political leadership, contrary to the will of the Ottoman government that remained following defeat in WWI.
Leaving aside the effort by Turkey to present all history of the Turkish ethnicity as generally good, it has to seem like a very calculated insult to modern Turkey for the United Staes to go out of it's way to condemn the acts of the Ottoman state a hundred years later.
[The Turks are also wondering why their NATO ally, the United States, can't work with them to counter Iraq based Kurdish groups killing Turkish soldiers and citizens in Turkey when the United States itself has labeled these Kurdish groups terrorists.]
Note: the United States had a policy of ethnic cleansing and genocide of Native Americans in settling the American West and we ARE the same country. Now that would be a relevant condemnation.
It is a immense tragedy for the Armenians of Anatolia. But followed shortly thereafter by the defeat and dismemberment of the Ottman empire and the vicious Turkish-Greek war in the early 20s, I'm just not sure the right parties to condemn or their direct descendants exist anymore.
In any case, I think it was bat shit crazy for the US congress right now to go out of its way to pursue this symbolic effort to aid the Armenian grieving process.
While I can see the symbolism to this resolution, I agree with the above comments that it seems completely unnecessary.
If Turkey invades northern Iraq and we don't protect them, it will be just like the first gulf war where we promised to protect the Kurds if they fought....yeah, that turned out well for them. Not to mention that the Kurdish area is one of the few safe areas in Iraq right now.
The fact that Turkey would even consider taking action now against the PKK is fucking bullshit. We need to create a Kurdish state, after we make the Palestinian one. Because face it, since when have we let *any* country decide our nation building strategy? We already have our noses in the middle east, lets just fuck that pony to a new level.
Hell, Congressmen are currently drafting an official apology for U.S. slavery (not making this up folks), which will of course diffuse all racial strife in the country so we can finally build that city on a hill, right? Can I get an amen?
During his presidency, Clinton contemplated it, and then backed off. While symbolic acts can lead to conversation and reappraisal (and one hopes, change), frankly don't we have some very pressing real problems (massive debt, huge credit crisis, festering wars) that deserve our unobscured attention?
It's not genocide unless a ridiculous bunch of stuffed shirts says it's genocide, 90 years later.
Mirror is right. This is a disaster. The US Senate has no business in the matter at all; it's a question for historians. Of course it was genocide, but right now Turkey is the center of the universe -- the Europe question, the Iraq question, the whole Middle East and radical Islam question.
This isn't about "appeasement"; the government that committed the genocide is long gone. The Ottoman Empire was, in it's declining years, er, century, a shithole of immense proportions. But what is to be gained by this resolution? Justice? I don't think so. This is a huge disservice to those in Turkey who are trying to stay modern.
I agree with mirror and Fnarf on this one, but I did have a cold thought about the timing. Could this be a cynical attempt by the Democratic leadership to make the occupation of Iraq impossible by cutting off US access to Turkish military bases? But then I realized that the Democrats are 1) not that evil, and 2) not competent enough to achieve that level of scheming, and 3) not really sure they want to end the war anyway.
It's all just a distraction from the War. Which is kind of funny, since it may backfire and actually fuel more bloodshed in Iraq (and Turkey).
Goddamn System of a Down!
WHAT the FUCK.
politically, turkey is becoming more religious, more islamic. just as israel's strike in lebennon hurt the moderate's cause, so does this resolution -- even if justified. will will drum up more support for the islamists in turkey, and for their war with the kurds.
turkey does have a problem with the kurds. both ideologically and regionally. there is rasism there, and there are what can only be considered military squirmishes (if not terrorism).
a kurdish state does not solve these problems -- and if you want to see turkey really get upset with us watch them when/if we suggest that.
the resolution (i've read it) reads like a breif history text, with two policies at the end. both are benign, involving historical materials and the pres to mention in an address (if i understand correctly). it is unfortunate that modern turkey is so upset by a resolution that does nothing but note what people who used to live in that area under a different government did.
Since Turkey is so hot to join the EU, why can't we let Europe deal with this?
Anyway, I do think the Turks a bunch of whiners. Just blame it on the Ottomans. And, don't even get me started about the Chinese bitching about the Dalai Lama's Medal of Honor.
thanks for the link to the resoltuion. You are right. It appears fairly benign, but there are implications...
For example clause no. 6 "The chief organizers of the Armenian Genocide, Minister of War Enver, Minister of the Interior Talaat, and Minister of the Navy Jemal were all condemned to death for their crimes, however, the verdicts of the courts were not enforced."
This clause implies that the newly created country of Turkey tried these top organizers but then did nothing. My reading indicates that all three of the top instigators had already fled to Europe and were tried in absentia. Talaat and Jemal [Djemal] were assasinated in Berlin in 1922 by Armenian activist/assasins. Enver Pasha was killed in Central Asia in 1922 trying to organize a pan-Turkish movement and resistance to the take over by the Bolsheviks of the Csarist colonial holdings in Central Asia.
The resolution would clearly make someone believe the Turkish government of the new state of Turkey just let them wander around Istanbul freely after their conviction and death sentence.
The resolution has other similar odd aspects to it.
Anyway, all of us and our congress people would do well to learn more about the break up of the Ottoman empire and its implications for our current situation in the Middle East. Certainly, one can't understand the intense insecurities of Turkey without understanding what happened then.
Mirror, no one could possibly understand Ottoman politics early in the last century better than the collection of brilliant scholars on the US House of Representatives. Do you think any congressman even was consulted during the writing of the amendment? It was written by lobbyists, like everything else they do there.
First of all, the Turks were gonna invade Iraq, w/or without the Resolution. They'd already killed hundreds of Kurds before the Resolution was on the table. Second of all, what happened to all the macho Americans who say we can't be pushed around by bullies, but we are okay to being bullied by Turkey for passing a "symbolic resolution" about something that happened almost a hundred years ago? Does time really erase history? How many years will it take for people to forget 9-11? Why will it be any less significant decades from now than it is today? How would the families' victims feel if it were used as a pawn for another country's political agenda? Now, finally, ask yourselves this. If the Genocide were such an "insignificant" event in history, why have Armenians spent the last 100 years using it in their poetry, songs,artwork, and dance? Why do they build monuments to this tragedy? Why do they go so out of their way to do the "un-pc" thing? Why does a tiny, blip of a Christian country in the midst of moslem countries, dare to even stand up to Turkey, the U.S.'s ally? Why would it put so much on the line to promote, as Turkey callse, it, "a fabrication." Apparently, there is more to the story than what our American media reports. Finally, "modern" Turkey is the same Turkey that allowed Hrant Dink to be murdered. Dink begged the Turkish police for protection, yet they did nothing to keep him from being shot in broad daylight. To add salt to this wound: the murderer posed for pictures with the arresting officers. Ottoman Turkey? 'fraid not. As for someone's "question" about Turkey being part of Ottoman Turkey, this can only be answered by its condemnation of the crimes Ottoman Turkey committed.

Background. Racial/ethnic differences in shared decision making about cardiovascular risk-reduction therapy could affect health disparities. Objective. To investigate whether patient race/ethnicity is associated with experiences discussing cardiovascular risk-reduction therapy with health care providers. Setting. National sample of US adults identified by random-digit dialing. Design. Cross-sectional survey conducted in November 2006 to May 2007. Participants. Among participants in the National Survey of Medical Decisions (DECISIONS), a nationally representative sample of English-speaking US adults aged 40 and older, the authors analyzed respondents who reported discussing hyperlipidemia or hypertension medications with a health care provider in the previous 2 years. Measurements. In multivariate linear and logistic regressions adjusting for age, gender, income, insurance status, perceived health, and current therapy, they assessed the relation between race/ethnicity (black/Hispanic v. white) and decision making: knowledge, discussion of pros and cons of therapy, discussion of patient preference, who made the final decision, preferred involvement, and confidence in the decision. Results. Of respondents who discussed high cholesterol (N = 738) or hypertension (N = 745) medications, 88% were white, 9% black, and 4% Hispanic. Minorities had lower knowledge scores than whites for hyperlipidemia (42% v. 52%, difference -10% [95% confidence interval (CI): 15, -5], P < 0.001), but not for hypertension. For hyperlipidemia, minorities were more likely than whites to report that the health care provider made the final decision for treatment (31.7% v. 12.3% whites, difference 19.4% [95% CI: 6.9, 33.1%], P < 0.01); this was not true for hypertension. Limitations. Possible limitations include the small percentage of minorities in the sample and potential recall bias. Conclusions. Minorities considering hyperlipidemia therapy may be less informed about and less involved in the final decision-making process.

Gold box
Chris Van Hof lent me a copy of the book "Beyond Talent: Creating a Successful Career in Music" by Angela Myles Beeching. Violinist Philip Ying calls it "the ultimate Swiss army knife for the young musician," and the more I pour over it, the more I think it contains a lot of good advice for anyone working in a creative field.
Beeching oversees the career center at New England Conservatory of Music, and in this volume she summarizes the counsel she offers aspiring musicians, including tips on practical matters such as web-site design, managing money, and using social networking tools. As a professional church musician, I found this tip helpful; "Avoid playing more than twenty-five minutes without a five- minute break." (Okay, I can do this if that five minute break includes chocolate!) Beeching also extends this advice to any physical activity: gardening, typing, sports, etc. Take breaks, she urges. She recommends daily exercise, soaking in the beauty of nature, and carving out time for non-musical activities.
Here's some general advice she gives career counselors working with musicians: "Look for the light in the eyes." Your eyes reflect your true passions.
Finally, this gem. Israeli composer Lio Navok's compares the artist's creative internal fire to a small, gold box. "It's something absolutely personal and irreplaceable in each of us that we need to safeguard," he says. I have a gold box. You have one, too. Hold it close.

Minority persistence in agent based model using information and emotional arousal as control variables

We present detailed analysis of the behavior of an agent based model of opinion formation, using a discrete variant of cusp catastrophe behavior of single agents. The agent opinion about a particular issue is determined by its information about the issue and its emotional arousal. It is possible that for agitated agents the same information would lead to different opinions. This results in a nontrivial individual opinion dynamics. The agents communicate via messages, which allows direct application of the model to ICT based communities. We study the dependence of the composition of an agent society on the range of interactions and the rate of emotional arousal. Despite the minimal number of adjustable parameters, the model reproduces several phenomena observed in real societies, for example nearly perfectly balanced results of some highly contested elections or the fact that minorities seldom perceive themselves to be a minority.

Kenny Chesney's concerts have become events, mammoth all-day stadium spectacles that sometimes seem to be more about the party than the artist. That's why it's interesting to see Kenny forced to scale things down somewhat for this relatively intimate set on the superlative PBS music series Soundstage. The format by design puts the emphasis squarely on Kenny's songs (for better and worse), even if he still plays 'em to the cheap seats. (Premieres on PBS Aug. 7; check local listings for date and time.)

Old Saybrook — One person was arrested Tuesday and another is at large in connection with a "shaken baby syndrome" investigation that started in September.
Crystal Dorothy, 26, of 2 Second Ave., Old Saybrook, was charged with risk of injury to a minor, second-degree providing a false statement, second-degree conspiracy to commit a false statement, interfering with an officer and conspiracy to commit interfering with an officer.
Dorothy's boyfriend, Keith Loftus, 31, is at large and is accused of allegedly causing the injuries that seriously injured the then 7-month-old infant. Police said Loftus is not the child's father. The child is now in foster care.
Old Saybrook police said the investigation into the abuse allegation began on Sept. 16 when the Yale-New Haven Children's Hospital alerted the Department of Children and Families about the suspected child abuse.
Police said that Loftus was the child's caretaker while Dorothy worked. The investigation uncovered that the infant was injured over multiple days in September in Old Saybrook and Deep River while in Loftus' care.
Police said Loftus and Dorothy fabricated how the injuries occurred to the infant. Police said their story was not consistent with the life-threatening injuries the infant sustained.
Police said officials at DCF, Yale-New Haven Hospital, state police and Middletown Superior Court were involved in the investigation.
Dorothy was held in lieu of a $100,000 bond pending her arraignment Tuesday in Middletown Superior Court.
Old Saybrook police are seeking the public's assistance in locating Loftus. His last known address is in Deep River, but he is known to frequent Middletown, Old Saybrook and Essex.
Loftus is expected to be charged with first-degree assault, risk of injury to a minor, interfering with an officer, conspiracy to commit interfering with an officer and conspiracy to commit a false statement.
Loftus has an extensive criminal record with convictions for possession of drugs and theft dating back to 2004.
When arrested, he will be held in lieu of a $150,000 bond, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Old Saybrook police at (860) 395-3142.

Very Easy Hash Brown
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 5 mins
A very easy and tasty hash brown recipe. You can also add some bacon, onions, herbs, etc. to it. Experiment yourself!! You will need a large clean towel to remove the juice from the potatoes, and this step is very important, otherwise it won't come out crispy. Also, be generous on the amount of oil when you cook the hash brown, oil makes it crispier.
Ingredients Nutrition
- Peel the skin of potatoes if they are dirty, otherwise you can also leave them on.
- Fine julienne cut the potatoes ( I used the julienne cut on my hand slicer).
- Try to squeeze all the juice from the potatoes with a towel.
- Flavor with salt and pepper according to taste.
- Heat oil on a skillet pan (non-stick is a good choice). Be generous on the oil, it will make your hash brown very crispy.
- On medium-high heat, pour the potatoes on the pan and try to make it flat and round. Do not stir it.
- Turn it over when golden brown and it's done when both sides are golden and crispy.
Most Helpful
A couple of hints. I shred my potatoes and also onion together in my Cusinart shredder disc. The acid in the onion keeps the potato white and therefore can be done earlier in the day. Squeeze them both together. For latkes, use two potatoes, one onion, then mix with one egg, a tablespoon of matzo meal and then fry in butter..serve with sour cream...YUM ! thanks for sharing...
This was really easy and pretty good. I made it as written and served it with the choice of corn free ketchup and Spiced Pomegranate Molasses Applesauce, which was a delicious Zaar accompaniment. I will make this again for breakfast with DH.
The title says it all, these are very easy hash browns. I used a cheese grater to cut up the potatoes for lack of better utensils. It worked quite well. Thank you!

To investigate the survival strategies and threats to long-term survival of such species, we combined genetic, morphological and biogeographical approaches, using the example of Hieracium eriophorum (Asteraceae) and its putative cryptic sister species H. prostratum, which are endemic to the longest coastal sand dune in Europe. An analysis of amplified fragment length polymorphism revealed high within-population genetic variability, and slight isolation by distance was the only indication of genetic population structure. Thus, no signs of genetic threats to survival were found. Furthermore, genetic and morphometric data provided no evidence for the existence of two species. Therefore, we propose to synonymize H. prostratum with H. eriophorum and provide a nomenclatural overview with typification. Finally, an analysis of historical distribution records showed that, during the last 100 years, the species was lost from its range margins, where its habitat became fragmented. Taken together, our results suggest that one successful survival strategy of narrow endemics may be the achievement of large local population sizes on a small geographical scale, thus avoiding the genetic problems inherent to small and fragmented populations. Dune management policies should thus take care that the current tendencies to allow more erosion will not result in too severe fragmentation of the remaining continuous stretches of dune habitat. 000029058 695__ $$9eng$$aAFLP ; Atlantic ; coastal sand dunes ; conservation ; endemism ; genetic structure ; management ; multivariate morphometrics 000029058 700__ $$aHaag, Christoph R.$$uDepartment of Biology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland 000029058 700__ $$aKozlowski, Gregor$$uDepartment of Biology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland - Department of Geosciences, University of Fribourg, Switzerland 000029058 700__ $$aTison, Jean-Marc$$uChemin du Valentier, 38540 Heyrieux, France 000029058 700__ $$aMráZ, Patrik$$uDepartment of Biology, University of Fribourg, Switzerland 000029058 773__ $$g2012///-$$tBotanical Journal of the Linnean Society 000029058 775__ $$gPublished version$$ohttp://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1095-8339.2012.01215.x 000029058 8564_ $$ffre_hgm.pdf$$qapplication/pdf$$s365145$$uhttp://doc.rero.ch/record/29058/files/fre_hgm.pdf$$yorder:1$$zpdf 000029058 8564_ $$ffre_hgm_sm.pdf$$qapplication/pdf$$s133455$$uhttp://doc.rero.ch/record/29058/files/fre_hgm_sm.pdf$$yorder:2$$zSupplementary material 000029058 918__ $$aFaculté des sciences$$bDécanat, Ch. du Musée 6A, 1700 Fribourg$$cBiologie 000029058 919__ $$aUniversité de firstname.lastname@example.com 000029058 980__ $$aPOSTPRINT$$bUNIFR$$fART_JOURNAL 000029058 990__ $$a20120502094307-YG

Bar Seddon was located down the street from our accommodation and we regularly stopped by the bar for an afternoon drink or pre-dinner drink. The bar has a nice relaxed atmosphere and the staff are very friendly. We also enjoyed a meal here one night - highly recommend the chicken cooked in mushroom sauce which was delicious. You can also get a cheap but tasty steak which goes down nicely with a glass of house malbec.
The best thing about this bar is the large open windows, allowing the beautiful balmy night air to filter in along with the sounds of San Telmo nightlife.

Oct 9, 2012Re-Volt Classic is a true gem in the racing genre giving countless hours of challenging racing, star-chasing and swearing at evil opponents blasting you with electric bolts. The price is on the high side, and I would have liked it lower to get more players to jump on the buy button. If you want a game that you can really sink your teeth into Re-Volt Classic comes highly recommended.
Oct 9, 2012It's the opposite of Zaxxon Escape: I liked the game, someone more familiar with it was not a fan. I'm curious to hear what Re-Volt veterans think of it.
Oct 9, 2012There's a strange emptiness at the core of Re-Volt Classic, and while it's sometimes enjoyable, you never feel like you're having as much fun as you should be.
Oct 15, 2012It's certainly not the most interesting revival we've ever seen, and neither does it forge any new ground in terms of a standalone iOS title. I'd never accuse it of being a bad game -- far from it -- but it's simply too pedestrian to get remotely excited about.
Oct 9, 2012Fans of the game the first time around will enjoy a very true port to iOS, but in today's market the game simply feels well behind the time.

VP and CIO, Healthways
How long at current company: Five years at this health-services software company
Most important career influencer: Dr. Adrian Lewis, professor of military history at the University of Kansas and graduate program director at the Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. He provided a lifetime of advice on how to take one's skills and passions and direct those toward some meaningful good.
Size of IT team: Size of IT team: 750
How I measure IT effectiveness:
Confidence is the only metric that is of consequence. I'd gauge confidence across three domains:
• Board, senior management, and peer confidence that you're an astute and trusted business partner who understands and supports the mission, vision, and goals of the company.
• Customer confidence in your strategy and ability to execute.
• IT organizational confidence that your leadership and commitment will provide a directional beacon in good times and bad.
The next big thing for my industry: Healthcare reform will change many aspects of healthcare. Risks, financial burdens, accountability, and business models will be in flux for a few years. I also look forward to advancements on the Web, in the 2.0 or social space, and in mobile computing impacting healthcare. We may be developing a generation of Americans who will see technology as a cornerstone to their well-being, the way past generations viewed doctors, nurses, and hospitals.
Advice for future CIOs: Lead, don't manage. In the early days of the job it will be necessary to use your management acumen. Over time, those instincts must be displaced by a higher calling to organizational leadership, and management must be left to those whom you trust.
The government's top tech priority should be ... The federal government has the richest computing capabilities on the planet. Pointing that portfolio toward one, two, or three specific opportunities would do great good for our nation. It would be a powerful statement to say, "in the next four years, we will ensure taxpayers receive the maximum potential value of the money already invested in our technology portfolio."
Colleges/degrees: BA, MS, and MBA from James Madison, North Texas, and Maryland, respectively
Business leader I'd like to have lunch with: Mark Cuban (Broadcast.com, HDNet, and Dallas Mavericks)
If I weren't a CIO, I'd be ... I spent the first third of my working life in the military. Beyond being a CIO, my passion for the middle third, I still fully intend to spend the back third of my working life teaching, writing, and coaching.

I work in an environment where I have to use my LDAP ID+pass for running various applications as admin, sending emails, or for letting the application access the internet and so on..
A short list of the apps and where my password lies in them :
- SONAR - in the config file
- Nexus - entered in the application (get encrypted in the config file)
- SVN - a cleartext in a properties file
- JIRA - secured in the user database
- Jenkins - entered in the application UI - my SVN password - masked , my Jenkins password - secure, my JIRA password - masked , my Nexus admin password - encrypted and maybe a few others might be added.
Now my password is visible to your average inquisitive user via configuration files, in some unprotected logs, or just plain in sight in the application UI. So I have 3 problems
A. My personal password privacy
B. Users having indirect access to the common master/admin password for many apps.
C. Scope of my password getting locked by repeated attempts etc.
Current Scenario
Currently I get by, by working this problem at the level of each application- encrypting/masking the password or restricting access or some other recommended means.
What I am looking for
Panacea. Am I missing something somewhere by doing it per application and making it complex ? Is there a solution available somewhere for this I am not aware of. What is the correct approach to this problem I think would be pretty common ??
- There is no SSO
- Mix AIX+Windows environment using LDAP, AD (and maybe oauth, I am not sure)
- The organization does not allow for a dummy/user-independent ID to be created which will take care of problem A.

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity

Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
I know I have a blank space/white line in the first line, because I viewed the page source I did see that the first line is a blank space. I don't know how to get rid of it. I checked all the php files and there are no spaces so I don't understand why the blank space in the first line keeps showing up.
I know this problem has been posted quite a number of times, but I still haven't been able to solve my problem even with the numerous solutions posted.
I did the uninstall and install plugin one-by-one test. That failed.
I reuploaded my theme. That failed.
I went to this site and did what it told me to do and that failed.
I even tried this site and that failed.
Can anybody help me? Maybe I'm doing something wrong? It's annoying me so much and for so long. I just want this problem to be solved. Any help would be grateful. Thanks.

I'm using the included wppa lightbox.
This is in regard to the thumbnail and slideshow views of the lightbox.
When viewing in a mobile device (smart) the lightbox pop up appears in the upper left corner of the screen and needs to be adjusted manually for both position and size.
If a thumbnail further down on the thumbnail page is clicked it isn't evident that the lightbox has popped up since it is way up in the left top corner.
I've tried another lightbox plugin that is supposed to resize automatically and it loads in the visible screen but is MUCH less responsive - the arrows are not visible without resizing manually and navigation requires more readjustment. Your lightbox remains in the position after adjusted.
My question is... am I missing a setting to force it to pop up in the center of the mobile phone screen?
I looked at the shortcode examples and I see "center" but does that apply to the lightbox?
Thanks very much for the wonderful plugin.

Hi guys,
Quick question: how can we modify the OG info?
Presently, the plugin grabs the Meta Description for OG. I would like to insert a generic text like: "Click to see the info and write a comment..." for all posts BUT keep the regular meta description.
I sued to manually update wordpress-seo/frontend/class-opengraph.php and insert a line of code in there, but, after the major overhaul, it no longer works.
Is there any simpler method of setting an universal OG (other than the post meta description) for all posts?
Thanks in advance.

Adele is pregnant with her first child
- From: AAP
- June 30, 2012
- Singer confirms she is expecting her first child
- Her website crashed after announcement was posted
- "Simon and I are expecting our first child together"
Adele is celebrating another milestone - a pregnancy.
The superstar singer's representative confirmed Friday that the 24-year-old is expecting a child with boyfriend Simon Konecki. The message was posted on her official website, which crashed due to a large amount of traffic after the news was announced.
"I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time," she said on the website.
It's unclear how far along the British singer is.
Adele won six Grammys earlier this year for her best-selling 21 album. Though that disc was based on heartbreak, she has since found love with Konecki.

Understanding Testicular Cancer -- the Basics
In this article
What Is Testicular Cancer?
Testicular cancer is cancer in a man's testicle. The two testicles, or testes, are glands that produce male hormones and sperm. They hang beneath and behind a man's penis in a pouch of skin called the scrotum. The spermatic cord, composed of the sperm duct, nerves, and blood vessels, connects each testicle to the body.
Testicular cancer may spread slowly or quickly. Testicular cancer usually spreads to nearby lymph nodes, the lungs, the liver, bones, and possibly the brain.
Testicular cancer is among the most treatable of cancers, even in an advanced stage, and it is rarely fatal. Over 90% of patients are diagnosed with small, localized cancers that are very treatable. Improved detection and treatment techniques have raised the overall five-year survival rate above 95% for most of these cancers. Even if the cancer has spread to nearby organs, patients have an excellent chance of long-term survival.
What Causes Testicular Cancer?
Doctors don't know why a man develops testicular cancer. But doctors have found links between testicular cancer and other factors.
Testicular cancer often happens in men who were born with a condition called an undescended testicle (cryptorchidism). Testicular cancer may also run in families, usually from parent to child. Genetic disorders such as Klinefelter's syndrome and Down syndrome increase the risk of testicular cancer. With Klinefelter's syndrome the risk of testicular cancer is 6 to10 times that of the general population.
The strongest risk factor for developing testicular cancer is a personal history of testicular cancer. The chance of developing cancer in the opposite testicle is 1% to 2%, which is 500 times that of the normal population.
Men with fertility problems are more likely to be diagnosed with testicular cancer, and testicular cancer increases the risk of infertility. All men with fertility problems should be checked for cancer of the testicle.
Other things may lead to testicular cancer, but there isn't a proven link. These things include not exercising, early puberty, having had mumps, a testicular injury, elevated temperature in the scrotum, pesticides, and radiation.
Conditions related to the man's mother during pregnancy could be factors as well, including abnormal bleeding, estrogen therapy, or taking the drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) during pregnancy.
Other rare conditions associated with an increased risk of testicular cancer include testicular feminization, true hermaphroditism, persistent mullerian syndrome, and cutaneous ichthyosis.
Noncancerous growths in the testicle are rare, so all lumps should be assumed to be cancer until examined by a doctor.

I'm currently experiencing the WSoD (White Screen of Death) on one of my WP installs and I'm trying to reduce the number of issues that could cause it. I am running a large number of plugins and yours happens to be one of them.
I'm running my local WP install in
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
mode, this can be added to wp-config.php and I'm turning on 1 plugin at a time.
I have WPML installed on the site at the moment, and I have believe that is possibly the biggest cause of the WSoD. The author started a paid version this month and is no longer releasing free updates. The paid updates could possibly resolve the issue.
I'm investigation new options and trialing your plugin on my local host at the moment. qTranslate looks much lighter so I'm going to see how it goes.
If you could please check your plugin with WP_DEBUG mode on resolve any messages that come up for the next release, this would be amazing.
Thank you for your time and creating a great plugin.

Ghost Master

Ghost Master (released as Ghost Master: The Gravenville Chronicles on the Xbox and PlayStation 2) is a puzzle/strategy game for the PC. The game was later published on Mac OS by Feral Interactive. It is among a small selection of games that put the player in the role of the enemy. In this case, the player assumes the role of a Ghost Master, a bureaucratic spirit tasked to perform certain duties. While the bulk of a Ghost Master's duties consist of hauntings, a Ghost Master may also be "called in" to increase belief in the supernatural, avenge deaths, and conscript renegade ghosts. Because a Ghost Master cannot directly interfere in the world of mortals, the Ghost Master is given a team of subordinate ghosts to do so. When not haunting, the Ghost Master is responsible for the training of the ghosts under his/her command.
The game consists of 14 levels (15 in the UK Steam version of the game.) In all but a few levels, the primary goal of the game is to scare away all the mortals (humans) and cause them to flee the area in fear or succumb to madness.
Ghost Master plays similarly to a real-time strategy game. The player first chooses the ghosts he wants to field in the level. The player cannot field every ghost in every place. Each ghost has one or two types of objects (or "fetters") it can be bound to. For example, a ghost who died during a robbery could only be bound to a "Murder Fetter," whereas a water spirit can only be bound to a bath, sink, or a simple puddle of water.
Another limiting factor is "Plasm". This numerical resource dictates which abilities a ghost can use. As a human becomes frightened, Plasm is generated. With more Plasm, stronger abilities (and more ghosts) can be fielded at any one time.
Once the objective(s) for a level has been completed, the game rates the player's progress. Many factors are considered, including time, amount of impact on the mortals, and how many mortals fled. If the player is able to complete the mission fairly quickly, there is a multiplier added to the final score. This score determines the amount of "Gold Plasm" given to the player, which is used to add more spells to ghost's arsenal.
The game ends with a cliffhanger, with the Ghostbreakers bringing in a bomb that would completely erase supernatural presence in the city where the game takes place. Because of the lack of a sequel, a bonus level was released for fans, which provided some closure. However, the bonus level is only available for the UK version of the game and was not released for the US version.
Bonus content[edit]
A bonus level is included in the Steam and Good Old Games release of the game. The bonus level "Class of Spook'em high" is the only downloadable content released for the game, in the level the Ghostbreakers attack the HQ of ghost master, an old abandoned mansion the player has to defeat the ghost masters in order to win the game. Due to the game lacking a sequel the bonus content was released in the sequels place.
Restless spirits[edit]
Each level also has "Restless Spirits," haunters bound to a certain location in some levels, there are often "secret" locations of the haunters, requiring you to use a move or complete an objective to reveal their location, usually having a back-story as to why they are there. The player can use haunters they already brought with them to free them using a certain move, or a combination, an example is in the first level, the restless spirit, "Weatherwitch" is bound to a vacuum the player has to use an electric fetter move to free her, causing the vacuum to malfunction, and release weather-witch.
Mortal defenses and abilities[edit]
All mortals have a belief level, which partially determines the effectiveness of a ghost's powers upon them. The belief bar is raised slightly with every scare, and particular powers are able to raise belief better than others. Every mortal also has conscious and subconscious fears which are linked to certain ghost's powers. Scaring a mortal with a power that appeals to their fear is particularly effective on him or her. These are usually unknown at the beginning of each level, but some ghosts have the ability to expose these fears.
Mortals also have a terror level and a madness level, with certain limits to each. When a human's terror bar is raised to a certain level, he/she flees, this is the objective of most of the in-game levels. The madness bar is filled only by the use of certain powers. When a mortal's madness bar reaches a certain point, they go insane, which is visible in that they now just roam the area of the scenario in a frenzy and are unable to be scared or maddened any more. The fear bar reduces as time progresses in the game, but the belief and madness bars do not.
Somewhere between average humans and ghosts are priests, witches, and mediums. These humans have the ability to banish your ghosts that are fielded. Banished ghosts are no longer usable during that level, and are returned after the mission is complete. Also, a large score penalty is levied on players who allow ghosts to be banished.
Ghostbreakers are the most dangerous mortals, from a supernatural perspective. They are able to detect and banish ghosts at a much faster speed than the other "special" mortals mentioned previously. They are also able to field special wards, which prevent the player from fielding, or benching, ghosts trapped underneath them. Only if the electrical generators are destroyed do the wards fail.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - It was easy to tell who won the BCS title
game: Toilet paper flew high and late into the night in Auburn.
Auburn fans celebrated the Tigers' 22-19 win Monday night over
Oregon in the BCS championship in their traditional way by rolling
trees at Toomers Corner, located at an intersection just off
"It's great to be an Auburn Tiger!" thousands of fans cheered
in the street.
The win gives the state of Alabama a unique claim with
back-to-back BCS championships and Heisman trophies. Auburn and Cam Newton won this year, while Alabama and Mark Ingram won last year.
Auburn's only previous national championship in football was in
1957, when Dwight Eisenhower was president and cars had big tail

Pat's School of Dance
Published: Sunday, December 5, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 3, 2004 at 4:06 p.m.
Newcomers to Hender-sonville soon realize that Pat's School of Dance is an institution of mythic proportions. Practically synonymous with the term "dance" locally is this school whose instructors, students, ensembles and choreography have won prizes so numerous that awards and testimonials fight for space in the North Main Street studio.
But owner and director Pat Honeycutt Shepherd is a "people person" and the hardware (trophies and plaques) loses the fight; hundreds of photographs of people in dance costume win the battle for wall space. On a recent tour of her facility, she stopped frequently to point to a photograph of some current or former student and interrupted herself to report their history, subsequent accomplishments and present activities.
The long history of Pat's School of Dance begins with the story of an ailing child. Doctors diagnosed 3year-old Pat Honeycutt as having had a mild case of poliomyelitis and recommended that she be given dance lessons to strengthen and balance her leg muscles. Through dedication and scrimping, the Honeycutt family was able to provide the child with the needed dance instruction. Young Pat loved dance from the very inception of her training at the Fletcher School of Dance in Asheville and soon became a star pupil of studio owner Beale Fletcher. She worked out her dance steps in the same studio as Fletcher's daughter Maria Fletcher, who became Miss America 1962.
As soon as she was old enough to contribute to the expense of her dance lessons, Pat did so ... and in a spectacular manner. Fletcher School of Dance opened a branch studio in Hendersonville in 1971, with the 16-year-old Pat teaching 25 students the first year and 50 the second. Upon her high school graduation, she was given a graduation present by Beale Fletcher: his entire Hendersonville business, which then changed its name to Pat's School of Dance.
Her career as a teacher was off to a fast start. And she continued to study. On weekends she would teach tap to dance instructors all over the Atlantic states in workshops sponsored by the Professional Dance Teachers Association and then visit with Joseph Levenhoff of the N.C. School of the Arts to add classical ballet to her repertoire.
More than 30 years later, her school provides instruction in tap dance, jazz dancing and classical ballet to classes ranging from beginners to semi-professional dancers. At the moment 37 different regular classes are meeting weekdays, divided by age group and subject. In addition, there are 28 "extra" classes offered Friday and Sunday to prepare those students who plan to travel with Pat to competitions and special events.
And travel they do. Her students have appeared in Macy's Parade in New York and performed in Nassau, Bahamas, and Orlando, Fla. Pat choreographed the Orange Bowl Parade in 1998, and her students were pictured on the front page of the Miami Herald.
The studio is something of a family affair. Pat's sister Sandra spent 14 years as a dancer and company manager in Las Vegas before returning to Hendersonville to manage the office and to teach adult classes. Pat's talented 19-year-old daughter Sher Shepherd was a featured tap performer last summer in Germany and in January will join the dance company at Disney World. Sher hopes someday to succeed her mother in operating the school. It looks like this local institution is set for another 40 years.

I took it a step even closer to cheesecake and doubled the cream cheese. It was still not dense like a cheesecake, but it was very good. I had a 29 ounce can of pumpkin so I just added the extra. I also put a little graham cracker crust under it and made it in one spring-form pan. I can tell that if you just used 8 ounces of cream cheese that it would be more like pumpkin pie, and that it would be delicious. I liked the amount of spices that recipe called for. Certainly more zip to it than the recipe that was printed on the can of pumpkin puree. I also topped this with some SarShir, Iranian breakfast cream that I had mixed with some sugar and vanilla - it's like cream frache. I brought this to a family party and everyone raved about it. Very good Rita!

Five Great Gravy Recipes
Great gravy can take your Thanksgiving feast to new heights--there's something undeniably decadent about drenching your turkey slices and pillowy mashed potatoes in a pool of rich, silky sauce. But many cooks struggle with this part of thanksgiving, turning out thin, light gravies that lack flavor and depth. So how do you make the gravy of your dreams? Pay attention to the building blocks.
Perfect Gravy: What's The Secret?
Once upon a time, there was a commercial for jarred gravy that threw my sister Sarah and me into hysterics every time we saw it. These kids are sitting at a table peering into a gravy boat, then they suddenly shriek, "There's something in the gravy!" Everyone springs into action, frantically repeating that there's something in the gravy, until finally the fire department arrives, flashlights in hand, to peer into the offending homemade goo and investigate those lumps.

Top 10 Roast Beef Recipes
Roast beef is popular for a reason--everyone who eats meat loves its rich flavor, whether you're springing for a pricy cut of prime rib or a tender, slow-cooked pot roast. There are a number of ways to cook a cut of beef, but the method you choose generally corresponds to the cut you're working with. Loin cuts of beef are best cooked uncovered in a moderately hot oven in order to develop an appealing caramelized exterior and beautifully pink interior.

By Bill Gattie, TACOM LCMC Public AffairsJuly 5, 2013
The 2013 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month observance at the Detroit Arsenal was held May 22. The theme for this observance was "Building Leadership: Embracing Cultural Values and Inclusion" and the guest speaker was Dr. Virinder K. Moudgil, President and CEO of Lawrence Technological University (LTU) since August 1, 2012.
Mistress of Ceremony, Barbara Stallworth, DOD Observances Manager, welcomed the audience and introduced the following program participants:
• National Anthem: Barbara Lang, Army Contracting Command (ACC) Tactical Division
• Invocation: Lt. Col. Stephen DeMien, Command Chaplain, TACOM LCMC
• Guest speaker introduction: Timothy Tarczynski, Deputy Chief of Staff for Human Capital, G-1 TACOM LCMC
Moudgil spoke about the many groups that make up the Asian Pacific Islander population in the U.S. These include: American Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Asian Indian, Filipino, Cambodian, Hawaiian, Samoan and Thai. He also noted the high degree to which these people participate in our society. He mentioned that they are included as a group on the Army's website and 80 percent of them vote in our elections. "There is not a single arena of life in the U.S. where Asian Pacific Americans have not made a mark," he said. He cited a number of Examples, including Eric Shinseki, former U.S. Army Chief of Staff and current Secretary of Veterans Affairs. He also shared some of his thoughts on leadership. "It is not who you are that holds you back," he said, "but who you think you are not."
Following Moudgil's presentation, the audience enjoyed a performance of some Asian, Hawaiian, Chinese, Indian and Filipino dances. At the conclusion of the program, Moudgil received a two-star note signed by TACOM LCMC Commander Maj. Gen. Michael J. Terry and audience members were invited to partake in a reception featuring samples of various types of Asian food.
Prior to his appointment as the seventh president of LTU, Moudgil held the position of Senior Vice president and Provost at Oakland University, where he led academic affairs from 2001 to 2012. He also was a professor of Biological Sciences and chaired Oakland University faculty in 1976.
Moudgil received his Ph.D. in Zoology-Biochemistry from Banaras Hindu University, which is ranked the top university in India. He was a research fellow in India for two years and came to the United States in 1973 to take a post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic.
