Previewing the 2012 San Diego Jewish Book Fair, Popkin provided a lively, anecdote-studded and systematic review of the Obama-Romney contest. The standing room-only crowd at the Lawrence Family JCC on Oct. 4 heard him draw upon his vast experience and his current book, "The Candidate: What It Takes to Win — and Hold — the White House."
"You don't turn an election around in one debate," Popkin said. "Mitt Romney has the ball in his court. This is the time when people's eyes were opened so he has to convince people he is worth a second look."
A seasoned campaign veteran, Popkin said all presidential campaigns tend to follow common patterns. Challengers talk about change and incumbents try to keep their movement alive.
"Obama's 'hope and change' could have been Jerry Brown in 1992 or 1976 or Jimmy Carter or Gary Hart," Popkin said. "The themes are very similar and they repeat. After four years, the incumbent honeymoon is over but do you (the voters) want to renew the vows? No matter how good you are, it becomes more of the same."
In military terms, campaigns are asymmetric warfare, not the mano-a-mano fight that most people think. Either side of the campaign is based on different weapons and different options. The president's effort is like a battleship that is very powerful but slow to turn; making very big waves. The challenger is like a PT boat that aggressively zips around and is very nimble. According to Popkin, unlike chess, where all moves are visible and can be evaluated, presidential campaigns are more like poker.
"You don't know some of the cards they are holding, there is the luck of the draw you can't predict," Popkin said. "It's a game with bluffing and many unknown contingencies, making it much harder than being a CEO.
"Mitt Romney is one of the most competent CEOs ever to run for president," he continued. "Yet, after the 2008 campaign, he told his friends that running for president is a lot harder than he thought."
In fact, the mechanics of campaigns are enormously challenging. Both sides have their pre-strategies and push them tirelessly to win. But having a pre-strategy is not enough. Why? Using former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson as an example, Popkin noted the media would ask him about his opponent's strategies.
"Everybody's got a strategy," Tyson is quoted as saying, "until I punch them in the face." So it is with presidential campaigns.
Popkin also notes that running a campaign is larger than managing a fast-growing startup corporation. The candidate is running for more than president — he is running for first family, presenting a wide set of values and trying to communicate that to millions of Americans.
"It takes extraordinary audacity to say, 'I am the best to manage the country and be the most powerful leader in the world,'" Popkin said. "And don't believe you can just buy the campaign."
In his experience, Popkin said he believes voters are not looking only for ample resumes. They are looking for who is ultimately best for the nation. Who would be good for you? Do they mean it? Can they do it?
"It's not about who is right or wrong. It's about who you think will best further your aims," he said.
According to Popkin, Obama now needs to warn voters not to change horses in the middle of the stream. He needs to make the case to "Look before you leap." On the other hand, Romney needs to make his case that "Obama's a failure and it just didn't work out. Look what you can run away from and start all over."
It remains to be seen if Romney can follow through on his debate performance. Campaigns get harder the closer you get to election day and rely more heavily on internal teamwork.
"Its like climbing Mount Everest," Popkin said. "The higher you get, the less the oxygen, the harder it is to process information, and there is less and less time to do it on the spot."
Popkin's presentation is the first of the 18th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair, presented by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture. The largest Jewish book fair in the U.S., it spans nine days, from Nov. 3–11. Tickets are available at www.sdcjc-.org/sdjbf/index.aspx.
— Sam Popkin is a political science professor at UC San Diego. Popkin has advised several Democratic presidential campaigns, including Jimmy Carter and Al Gore.

First appearance at Raleigh Relays since 2006
RALEIGH, N.C. (March 29, 2013) – The ETSU men's and women's track & field teams will continue the outdoor season on Friday when they travel to Raleigh, N.C. to compete in the Raleigh Relays at the Paul Derr Track & Field Facility located on the North Carolina State University campus March 29-30.
Following a pair of top-five finishes between the men's and women's teams last weekend at the Beynon Sports Catamount Classic on the Western Carolina University campus, the Buccaneers hope to continue the momentum in Raleigh against a very competitive field. The competition will begin on Friday with the men's steeplechase at 8:45 a.m., followed by various running events including long-distance, middle-distance and sprint events, as well as many field events. The day's action will be wrapped up with men's 10,000m run set to begin at 10:35 p.m. On Saturday, things will kickoff with the women's 10,000m run at 9:30 a.m., with running and filed events throughout the day. The Raleigh Relays competition will end with the women's 4x400m relay at 4:45 p.m.
Joining ETSU will be a host of teams from throughout the country, including host North Carolina State, College of Charleston, James Madison, George Mason, Liberty, North Carolina, Samford, South Carolina, Tennessee, UNC-Asheville, UNC-Greensboro, USC Upstate, Belmont, Elon, Virginia Tech, Campbell, Milligan College, Charlotte and Lipscomb, among others.
"The Raleigh Relays will be our greatest challenge up to this point in the season," said Director of ETSU Track & Field/Cross Country George Watts. "Both the women's and men's teams have trained well this week and are ready to achieve personal bests. The quality of the competition should give us ample motivation to elevate our performances"
The Buccaneers will be sending a number of student-athletes to compete in various events. After being out of action last weekend at the Catamount Classic following his record-breaking performance at the Charlotte 49er Classic the week prior, senior Ifrish Alberg (Paramaribo, Suriname) will be back to continue his stellar play in the 100m dash. Alberg is also expected to take part in other sprint events including the men's 4x100 relay in which the Buccaneers are ranked as first in the A-Sun in the event. Senior Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) will also look to stake his claim as the leader in the conference in the 400m dash.
On the women's side, ETSU also hopes it can build off of their school record in the 4x100 relay at the 49er Classic and continue their progression in the middle and long-distance events. Sophomore Demetria Edgecombe (Spartanburg, S.C.) will also hope to prolong her development after setting a school record in the 100m hurdles two weeks ago in Charlotte. A consistent effort in the triple jump from Kelly Monteleone (Pittsburgh, Pa.) has grown to be expected and increased improvement from freshman throwers Tyesha Jones (Nashville, Tenn.) and Verena Tobis (Hechingen, Germany) will be a great sign for ETSU going forward.
Heat sheets, event schedules and meet information for the Raleigh Relays can be accessed by visiting GoPack.com and FlashResults.com. A complete recap of ETSU's performances will be available following each day's events at ETSUBucs.com.

In Karate, we often say that the student must be able to control his temper. One reason for this is so that the student can hold back, and not unnecessarily harm other people. A hot headed student is much more likely to initiate or be drawn into fights.
Karate is a self defense art. It is not offensive. But it is not quickly defensive either. Students should not be looking for reasons to defend themselves. They should want to avoid the use of the destructive aspects of Karate unless it is truly the last resort -- not the next to the last resort.
I mentioned the "destructive aspects of Karate" because there are many techniques that can be used without unduly harming the attacker. Escape is a technique. Dodging and slipping an attack are techniques. Not all techniques involve the use of deadly or crippling force.
Getting back to the temper issue, rage also clouds the student's judgment and ability to think clearly. Like an enraged bull, an angry student is more likely to miss things (like the facts that the attacker is carrying a weapon or has friends lurking nearby) and rush into a bad situation. A cool headed student is better able to evaluate the situation and react with the best defense.
So a student should learn to control his temper. If someone bumps into him, this is not a reason to get mad. If someone says an unkind thing or yells, the student should learn to keep his temper in check. When he feels his face getting red, his blood rushing, and his heart pounding, he must learn to slow his breathing and remain alert.
A student should learn to control his temper.
But also, as a student matures things should not bother him as much. It is not just that his temper is controlled -- it is that the student becomes more calm. It should be harder and harder for someone to upset and anger the student.
One reason for this is that with time, the student will have seen more and more ridiculous situations. What used to make him angry when he was young will seem trivial with the benefit of time and experience.
An advanced student does not have to control his temper as much because he is a more calm person -- cool and calm.
Personally, I would rather deal with an angry attacker than one who is cool, calm, and focused on harming me. The same applies in defense.
When a student is young, petty thing might seem more important. People sometimes get into Karate fights over silly things: your teacher is no good, you did not earn your rank, you are a fake, you made a bad call in judging.... It all sounds like a bad Kung Fu movie where the lackey says, "you insulted my Master!"
Students should learn to control their tempers. With time, they should learn to become so calm that the temper does not rise up, or does so only in very serious situations.
The next time something or someone makes you really mad, try to see if you can remain calm. Maybe you will succeed, maybe you will not. But the effort is useful. With practice, you will get better at it. And with time and experience, things that made you mad will start to seem less and less important.
Please do not get me wrong. In a life and death situation I am not suggesting that the student should not react. I am saying that he should act in a determined and controlled manner -- not in a blind or uncontrolled rage.
By the way, this also applies in business. If an employee gets mad at his boss or client, he will most likely lose his job. An employee needs to be able to keep his temper in check and act professionally and courteously. If the student can learn to control his temper and cultivate a calm manner in Karate, he can also apply this in the business world and his social interactions.

How many times have you watched a soccer match and thought about ways to make the sport more interesting?
Smaller field? Faster game? More scoring? Less flopping? More enthusiastic announcers?
OK, the last one isn't possible, but we digress.
Chances are you've thought the game could be improved, but haven't quite found the solution.
Until now.
A friendly match in Instanbul was briefly delayed when a pair of dogs romped onto the field.
The dogs, which appear to be yellow lab-like, frolicked around (as dogs do), appearing to enjoy the attention given to them by a bunch of smiling soccer players before being carried off the field.

Release Date: February 5, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. – The University at Buffalo has again been selected as one of the nation's 75 "Best Values" among public colleges and universities according to The Princeton Review's national survey of American colleges and universities.
In its profile, the editors at The Princeton Review cited UB for its "stellar academics and for all it is doing to make college affordable, especially for applicants with need in these tough economic times."
The review praised UB for its "emphasis on research, offering labs that are open 24 hours a day" and said that financial aid in the form of scholarships is targeted to "students with financial need, first-generation college students and students who demonstrated their ability to contribute to the cultural diversity of the campus."
According to The Princeton Review, when UB students were surveyed about why they love the university, they described the wide variety of academic opportunities available, saying, "There are more choices. You can choose many different combinations of academics and social activities with the support in place."
Students also liked UB's diversity, explaining that "although the typical student is of traditional age, there really isn't a 'typical' student – the student body is very diverse in terms of religion, ethnicity, nationality, age, gender and orientation."
"The Best Value Colleges: 2013 Edition" or "The 150 Best Buy Colleges and What It Takes to Get In," features profiles of 75 public and 75 private colleges with detailed information about the campus culture, facilities and financial aid offerings. Of the 75 schools in each group, the top 10 colleges are ranked one to 10, and the remaining 65 are listed in alphabetical order.
UB was included in the alphabetical list. The colleges and universities included in the top 75 were commended for "all they are doing to keep costs down while maintaining excellent academic programs," according to the editors of The Princeton Review
The Princeton Review rankings and UB's full profile are available at: http://www.princetonreview.com/best-value-colleges.aspx.
The Princeton Review selected its "Best Value Colleges" schools based on institutional data and student opinion surveys collected from schools the company regards as the nation's academically best undergraduate institutions. The selection process analyzed more than 30 data points, broadly covering academics, cost and financial aid. Data on academics came from its fall 2011 to fall 2012 surveys of school administrators. Data from students attending the schools over these years included their assessments of their professors and their satisfaction with their financial aid awards.
Sara Saldi has retired from University Communications. To contact UB's media relations staff, call 716-645-6969 or visit our list of current university media contacts. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Press release
Brussels, 30 July 2013
July 2013: Economic Sentiment continues to brighten in the euro area and the EU
In July the Economic Sentiment Indicator (ESI) increased by 1.2 points in the euro area (to 92.5) and by 2.4 points in the EU (to 95.0), continuing the upward trend observed since May.
Economic sentiment indicator (s.a.)
July EU: 95.0 - Euro Area: 92.5
Euro area developments
In the euro area, the ESI's increase was driven by improved confidence among consumers and managers in industry, services and retail trade. Only in the construction sector confidence weakened. Economic sentiment improved in four out of the five largest euro area economies, i.e. Italy (+2.9), Spain (+1.2), France (+1.2) and Germany (+0.7), while it deteriorated in the Netherlands (-2.0).
The slight increase in industry confidence (+0.6) resulted from improvements in managers' production expectations and their assessment of the current level of overall order books. The assessment of the stocks of finished products remained virtually unchanged. Of the surveyed items not included in the confidence indicator, the sharply improving assessment of the past production stands out. The assessment of the current level of export order books remained stable. Services confidence saw the sharpest increase of all sectors covered (+1.8), driven by improved assessments of the past business situation and past demand, while demand expectations remained virtually unchanged. Consumer confidence improved markedly (+1.4) and for the eighth successive month. This was mainly due to further easing unemployment expectations and better savings expectations over the next 12 months. Consumers' views on the future financial situation of their households and the future general economic situation also brightened somewhat. Retail trade confidence increased (+0.9), driven by an improved assessment of the present business situation and business expectations, while views on the volume of stocks remained virtually unchanged. The construction sector stands out with lower confidence (‑1.0), resulting from managers' markedly worsened assessment of order books, which failed to be counterbalanced by the more cautious upward revision of employment expectations. Financial services confidence (not included in the ESI) increased by 3.1 points. While the past business situation and past demand were assessed much more positively, demand expectations deteriorated.
Employment plans were revised upwards in industry, retail trade and construction, while remaining virtually unchanged in services. Selling price expectations increased in industry, while remaining broadly unchanged in services and retail trade and decreasing in construction.
EU developments
In the wider EU, the improvement in sentiment was more pronounced (+2.4). On a sector basis, the increases in industry, consumer and retail trade confidence were sharper than in the euro area and construction confidence slipped only slightly. On a country basis, the main reason for the sharper plus was markedly improving confidence in the largest non-euro area EU economy, the UK (+6.9). Contrasting with developments in the euro area, the EU financial services confidence indicator declined slightly (-0.4).
As in the euro area, employment plans in the EU were revised upwards across all sectors except for services. Selling price expectations differed in the EU in that they decreased in retail trade and increased in construction. Consumers' price expectations were revised downwards, in line with assessments in the euro area.
Quarterly survey in manufacturing (conducted in July)
In the euro area, managers' assessment of developments in overall new orders improved markedly after last quarter's deterioration. Complementing an improved appraisal of their competitive position on foreign markets outside the EU, managers also revised their export volume expectations upwards (for the third consecutive quarter). In line with these findings, the figures show an increase in the number of months assured by orders on hand compared with the previous survey carried out in April. Also the balance of managers reporting more than sufficient, rather than insufficient, production capacity decreased and, accordingly, the estimated rate of capacity utilisation increased to 78.3%.
Developments in the wider EU were largely in line with euro area developments. It is noteworthy that July's reading of the number of months assured by orders on hand marked a new historic height in the EU.
The combination of positive developments in new orders, a rise in the number of months assured by orders on hand (in the EU even to historically high levels) and increasing capacity utilisation appears to point to a pending exit of the manufacturing sector from recession.
Industrial confidence indicator (s.a.)
July EU: -10.0 - Euro Area: -10.6
Service confidence indicator (s.a.)
July EU: -4.5 - Euro Area: -7.8
Consumer confidence indicator (s.a.)
July EU: -14.8 - Euro Area: -17.4
Retail trade confidence indicator (s.a.)
July EU: -7.0 - Euro Area: -13.7
Construction confidence indicator (s.a.)
July EU: -31.0 - Euro Area: -32.6
Financial services confidence indicator (n.s.a.)
July EU: 7.1 - Euro Area: 1.7
The next Business and Consumer Survey is due to be published on 30 August 2013.

PLS HELP! Is my sealed volume calculation correct?
11/07/10 at 19:09:49
Ive been reading the wo support forum pages and am unsure of the required sealed wedge volume for my 29" by 36" by 13.5" WO. I just want confirmation from the wo pros before I fire this thing up. I explain what calculations I came up with below and want to know if its correct.
I also wanna add that I am attempting to use this WO for a mobile dj setup for small sized venues. I own two mackie srm450 version 1's that need a subwoofer BADLY to help improve the sound. HOPEFULLY!
The driver I have ordered has been recommended by some. Here is the link:
Now I have been reading that I need to "model a regular 4th order single reflex box to determine the rear (sealed) chamber," so I went to this online calculator:
and came up with these results:
1) Speaker Parameters
Diameter: 10.00 (inches)
Qts: 0.31
Fs: 41.10 (Hz)
Vas: 1.72 (cubic feet)
= 48.69 (liters)
S: 0.70 (response curve - .4 thru .7)
2) 4th Order Bandpass Cabinet Parameters
Lower 3db Rolloff: 35.00 Hz (F3 Provided by user)
High 3db Rolloff: 130.54 Hz (Calculated)
Sealed Box: 1.01 cubic feet
= 1742.60 cubic inches
= 28.56 liters
Ported Box: 0.32 cubic feet
= 559.53 cubic inches
= 9.17 liters
Tuning Frequency: 67.59 Hz
So I have to make the sealed wedge volume 1.01 cubic ft. , after calculating in speaker and brace volume displacement, CORRECT?? Am I right?
As far as the ported box part goes, there is no ported box section on the wo, its like a horn...I mean there is no tube to port it. So I dont know how to use that figure.
What is tuning freq?
Looking at the pdf specification paper for this woofer, do you think it will perform well as a subwoofer for my app, because lower frequencies for hiphop and dance music is what I am after. Or should I have purchased a SUB woofer?
I plan on connecting from my dj mixer aux out, to an old numark 10 band eq [lower the high and raise the lower freqs], then output to a qsc, behringer, or mackie fr type of pa amplifier that puts out 250 rms at 8ohms per channel.
This is my attempt to improve my dj setup on a budget! Im looking at $160 for the 2 drivers and prob will spend atleast 200 for a good used amp. I don't think Ill need a crossover, I hope not!
ANY thoughts on this would be awesome. The party is going down this 19th, and I am so excited to hear what the WO will do.

I don't know if anyone has ever tried a ported rear chamber on a wicked one...I doubt it. If anyone ever did, it probably didn't work very well or we would have heard about it. I'd stick to the plans and with the series II speakers you will be fine.
With your DJ gig, be sure to allow setup time to play with sub location. It can make a HUGE difference. If you can setup in a corner and fire the wicked one into the corner (and you have the right room, and your lucky, and the moon phase is right) you can fill the room with the most wonderful bass you've ever heard. Also try firing it into the back wall, then on its side down low, then vertical...don't just assume that pointed at the audience is best. Good luck.

Build the WO to the plans and place the driver where it shows in the plans, the 295-110 works perfect in this position.
As far as the ported end, the port is the slot where the box opens into the flare. Making it a little narrower than the plans, reduces the upper end cut off freq. while mounting the driver with the magnet facing the port will lower the response of the sub, it will be a little peaky but at a lower freq. which IMO isn't a bad thing.
I would use a crossover, even if it was a passive crossover.

Yo thanks guys for the help.
DANK: I did read about how sub placement is important and I will try to find best location.. Also, maybe I confused you with my long post, but I am not trying to port the sealed chamber, I was referring to how the front slotted parts of the wicked one, which kinda are the ports, do not apply to the online calculators for 4th order single reflex booboo. Or maybe I just dont understand it.[This stuff gets really confusing, and I am the type of dude that strives for excellence.] I just wish I clearly understood how to calculate the sealed volume for this driver, so that I get the best optimum performance...
When you click on the link for this driver there is a review about some dude who used these for a WO but had to decrease the sealed volume... Someone please tell me how much the sealed volume must be.. that would be AWESOME.
ZYGI: The wo will just need to be throwing the low end freq's. Should I flip it? I thought flipping it is for full range and higher freq's?
Would there be a possibility of causing damage to the drivers if using the eq as a crossover? The eq offers +/- 15dB adjustments. This is all I have....
Guess what just arrived? The parts express order! Those "woofers" are branded eminence made in the usa! They feel and look like they are going to hit really hard. Im so excited but will wait for tomorrow to finish the wo up. [ I actually started attaching a driver to a baffle, and as I was screwing it in, the dewalt slipped and almost punctured the surround!
I better wait for tomorrow and take my time doing this.]
Im sooooooooo excited.
ALSO here is a sketch of the 15" cab I will do next. I did one a long time ago and that mofo rattled my teeth and was shaking the foundation of my house. After about 4 minutes the sub was destroyed.
I cant imagine what a 15" driver from parts express would be like.....

I must say, the sub adds so much more to the party sound..... WAAOW! I am very satisfied with the results and even though I wired it ghetto with an eq instead of a real crossover, the improvement it gives two mackie srm450 active speakers is freegin AWESOME! My sound now is just right. Not too crazy and not too weak. However I think some 15" wo subs would be even more awesome.
I went from my aux output from my mixer into an old 10 band numark eq. All 480hz on up turned down and the lows adjusted up. Then the eq output into a used qsc rmx 1450 which I purchased on craigslist for 143 bones.
I spent around 3hunid total for this subwoofer addition. Im happy with the results. However a real crossover would add even more improvement. Thanks decware
Next time its gonna be about some 15" wo subs, watchout!
P.S. If this wo was in a ride with an amp that could bring full clean power like my qsc does, it would be ... I cant think of a good word. It would be nuts insane the vehicle would probably explode. lol.

I used these Dayton's in a WO-36 and wrote the review in Parts Express you referenced. I made my sealed chamber slightly smaller by blocking it in about where the brace is located. This was not a scientific operation! Trial and error.
I called Steve because after building the WO, my bass was mushy. He recommended I experiment with the sealed chamber volume. I only used my ear for measuring, but am very happy with the results. I also mounted the woofer on the backside of the baffle by mistake. This may have led to my need to play with the chamber volume.
End result is a great sounding sub! Keep it crossed no higher than 90Hz, preferably lower. It gets used everynight hard in a DJ rig and has proven bullet proof so far.
THe girls tend to like to stand on top of it and dance like its a mini stage or something! No problem, this box can take it.
As the previous member suggested, there is several db to be gained if you fire it at a the back wall about 6-10 inches away, or corner load it.
If you like building Steve's stuff, you might try the Pro-12's. My friend who runs the DJ rig for his business sold his Mackie's after trying the Pro-12's.
I'm not knocking Mackie's, they are good sounding, but they don't beat Decware speakers. Just my opinion.

Hey bro thats awesome that you connected back to this place I didnt expect really to hear from the person who left that review on the p ex website!
Bro, you know thats alot of room to subtract from the chamber. I actually am running the wo just like the plans calls for, no adjustment or mod to the sealed chamber. I was like screw this and just wanted to get the wo done already and was over the calculating thing. It freegin hits.
I threw it in my 2004 camry which I just copped and it hits. I think its a lil too much for me actually and the thing weighs a grip. I think its burning too much extra fuel just to have low end capabilities like this. Also the metal is rattling, etc. Might take it out or research making a 6" mini wo or something if it bumps and not to expensive. If it was lighter itd be awesome, but fahgitaboutit itz HEAVY! Fits perfectly though.
Im gonna post some pics of it asap here to share with the homies.
Luna- What crossover setup u running? Active, passive, or ghetto like mine?
LATER buds!

I don't know what a ghetto crossover looks like ::) , but you should at least put a large coil in each speaker cable.
Any pics to share?

Heres what a onthebudget ghetto xover setup might look like. Also JUST finished changing the internal volume. HOPEFULLY I did it the same as the other member. Did I put the board in the right place bro or did you put yours straight accross? I hope thisll work cuz its clamped now, just wanted to finish it already.
Ill wait for the your responses before I tighten the 40 freegin screws for the lid. Should I try it like this or do you think this is too much volume to subtract?
ANY and all thoughts appreciated please.
ALSO the handles do not make it THAT much easier to maneuver it, id say it makes things 50% easier that I thought it would because you cannot carry the box with two people, each person grasping a handle, because the box still is slamming against you legs and plus the way the handles swing out to be used. Im sure theres a better locations to put these but I didnt want to put them on the sides because I like to be able to stand it up and flat on whatever sides for the parties. OK guys enjoy these.
shuwks! I have to change the file sizes now to upload them for you. Thisll take another 10 minutes. Ahhhhh. Arrgh. Rrooof!
wasnt that bad took 3 minutes Im just lazy sometimes. LATES.
" ERROR 217 kilobytes and cannot be uploaded." !!!
HEY I TRIED BROZ, IT SAYS MAXIMUM ATTACHMENT SIZE 250KB. Mine is 217kb so it should be good. Ill post em up later if someones explains how to. >:(

TROY — Troy University's Continuing Education Center is starting a new online certification program in cyber security this fall that will cover the fundamentals of network security, protecting electronic assets, preventing attacks and ensuring customer privacy.
The four-course program will explore the latest research and best practices in the cyber security field, and is taught by professional instructors. The courses will cover a broad range of network security topics including cryptography, vulnerability of web based applications and malware.
"This certification opens the door to numerous opportunities in the cyber security field, which is poised to become a critical field in the years to come," said Dr. Bill Zhong, chair of the Department of Computer Science at TROY. "This program teaches you the skills necessary to protect valuable data and trade secrets."
The program will be presented in four, four-week sessions and is tailored to meet the needs of professionals working in business, law enforcement, education, hospitals, banking and systems analysts. In addition to the online course work, a voluntary hands-on lab will be offered the third Saturday of each session at the University's Troy, Ala., campus giving participants a chance to apply their new skills and knowledge.
Participants who complete all four courses will receive a TROY Cyber Security Certificate and transcript of courses completed.
The first course session will start Sept. 2, and registration is open now.

Class of 2012 Begin Their Wabash Lifeby Howard W. Hewitt • August 23, 2008 Share:
More than 250 Wabash College freshmen began their four-year journey Saturday morning with registration, moving in, and making new friends.
Freshman Saturday brings the Class of 2012 to campus with their talents, skills, and expectations. It's a day of great excitement for parents and sons, but also a day of some stress and anxiety.
Diana Moore has been through it all before but it never gets easy. Her oldest son J.T. is a senior member of the football team. Ms. Moore brought her youngest, Jake, to campus to begin his Wabash career.
"J.T. is a football player so we got to move in early when he was a freshman," she said. "But it's a lot smoother this year because we know where the buildings are and everything."
But for this mother of three, who also has a daughter at Indiana State University, bringing Jake to campus meant no more children at home. "I've already been thinking about that," she admitted. "I might have to go volunteer somewhere."
That spirit of volunteering made the day easier for parents like Ms. Moore. New Wabash football Coach Erik Raeburn had some "special weightlifting" on his upperclassmen's training schedule for the day. Raeburn sent his men throughout campus at 9:30 to help the freshman class move items into their fraternity houses and dormitories.
The parents were openly appreciative of the unexpected help. And it seemed to help the new Wabash men feel welcomed. "It's exciting and nerve-wracking at the same time," Derek Bailey '12, from Bloomington, said. "It's good to have all the football players here. The friendly atmosphere is really sinking in. I'm excited to start my school life at Wabash."
Freshman Saturday is a new beginning for all of campus each fall. Five new tenure track professors start their Wabash careers along with the Class of 2012. New Dean of Students Mike Raters expected the afternoon colloquium with parents to really make him feel he's settled into his new job.
"This afternoon when I'm standing in front of their parents and they start grilling me on behavior questions, security questions, alcohol questions I'll probably start feeling it," Raters '85 said. "Then again tonight when we engage the students in that same sort of conversation it'll sink in."
After the ringing in ceremony and afternoon meetings parents are expected to leave campus by 5 p.m. Raters hopes they take with them the knowledge their sons are in good hands.
"I hope they realize that we are serious about the Gentlemen's Rule and at the same time this is a place of education where we know guys will make mistakes. We hope the mistakes aren't major ones. This is a friendly place. Wabash is accommodating when we can be, but it's all about personal responsibility."

Sept. 16, 2009
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (September 16, 2009) - Sacred Heart cross country runners Andrew Houghtalen (West Charlton, NY) and Olivia Civardi (Brightwaters, NY) were named this week's Road Runner Sports Northeast Conference Athletes of the week. Houghtalen was named the Co-Athlete of the Week while Civardi was named the Rookie of the Week. It is Houghtalen's first career athlete of the week award, he won the league's rookie award once in 2007. Cavardi takes home her first career award after just her first collegiate race.
Houghtalen recorded his first career top-five finish to lead the Pioneers to the team championship at the Fordham Fiasco on Saturday. The junior's time of 27:21.06 on the 8K Van Cortlandt Park course was good for fourth place in a field of 175 runners from 16 teams, including USTFCCCA regionally-ranked Rutgers, Penn and St. Joseph's. Houghtalen led three SHU harriers inside the top-15 and was the top finisher among the four NEC schools competing. The West Charlton, NY native's efforts helped the Pioneers to their fifth win as a program and first since the 2007 season.
In her first collegiate race, Civardi paced the Pioneers at the Fordham Fiasco on Saturday, a competition that featured 181 runners from 18 institutions. The Brightwaters, NY product clocked in at 19:18.36 on the 5K Van Cortlandt Park course to finish ahead of fellow NEC competition from Long Island, Fairleigh Dickinson and St. Francis (NY). Civardi's 23rd-place effort helped SHU take sixth place overall in its season opener.

We Love Loretta Lynn
(The GRAMMY Salute To Country Music honoring Loretta Lynn, presented by MasterCard, took place Oct. 12 at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. In our final blog installment, Meesa Hayes of 365 Days Of Country Music recaps the evening's festivities.)
By Meesa Hayes
Even the stormy weather on Oct. 12 could not dampen the celebration for one of country's greatest legends in Nashville, where Garth Brooks escorted GRAMMY Salute To Country Music honoree Loretta Lynn down the red carpet.
The woman songwriter Dale Dodson tonight called "the first lady of country music" is not only well-respected for her talent, but she is hailed as a legend for being true to herself. She is an inspiration to singers, songwriters and people because she never wavers from who she is and what she stands for. In a modern world of music that is synthesized and fine-tuned — and earlier in her career, when women were silent and passive — she has remained Loretta. She doesn't know how to be anything else.
When asked if she had any aspirations at the start of her career — a career that has now entered a fifth decade — she interjected, "[I] never thought five years later. [I] never even thought that far, hun. I'd woke up in the backseat of the car with [husband Oliver "Doolittle" Lynn] and Doolittle had gone and got us a doughnut, and I looked up and [saw] the Grand Ole Opry. Well, I shouted all over the streets!"
I asked Lynn what she considered to be the most meaningful song she ever recorded. "Coal Miner's Daughter," she answered. Bringing it back to the present, she humbly added, "I won't ever forget this [night]."
Backstage, the first person I bumped into was singer/songwriter Jamey Johnson. I asked him what albums in Lynn's catalog he would recommend to someone who had never heard her music. "If I was talking to somebody that had never heard Loretta Lynn's music?" he looked at me puzzled. "I would tell them to don't bother, they've already missed it. If they don't know Loretta's music, they don't know good music anyway."
As host Reba McEntire opened the show, I asked songwriter Jason Sellers to describe Lynn in one word. "Country," he quickly replied. Song after song, the audience cheered and clapped for Lynn's signature brand of "country," which on this evening was interpreted through spirited tribute performances. After her performance, I asked Gretchen Wilson which song was her favorite. "'I'm A Honky Tonk Girl,'" she said, "because it was her first [hit], and it changed everything. It changed country music."
Following her performance with daughter Aubrie Sellers, I chatted with my personal favorite artist, Lee Ann Womack. "I really don't remember my life before Loretta," she reminisced.
As we watched Martina McBride perform, I asked Womack if she thought it was harder for an artist to speak their mind or if it was harder to stay reserved. "It's harder to speak your mind," she responded. "But I have learned that it becomes less and less hard, because you worry less and less about pissing people off."
As Lynn was presented with The Recording Academy's President's Merit Award, Lynn said, "I don't know what to say except thank you." Armed with a guitar, Brooks joined her onstage for a captivating performance of "After The Fire Is Gone," the classic GRAMMY-winning duet Lynn originally recorded with Conway Twitty.
I asked Brooks if Lynn were to cover one of his songs, which one would he choose? "The first thing that comes to mind? 'Shameless,'" said Brooks. "Because she's got the balls to do it. She just does. She surprised me as a songwriter tonight. I knew of her as an artist and an icon, but as a songwriter, she's unbelievable.
"I think what's so special is she didn't try to reach the masses, and she reached the masses," Brooks continued. "She didn't try to crossover, and she crossed over. She didn't try to set the bar and outlast everyone else, and she has set the bar and outlasted everyone else."
As the momentous evening drew to a close, I asked Brooks if he could describe Loretta Lynn in one word. "Sincere. Real," Brooks replied, offering two words. "That's her to the bone. She's being who she is. And we love her."
She's a honky tonk girl, a coal miner's daughter, the first lady of country music, a mother, a songwriter, and a legend. She's Loretta Lynn. And Garth Brooks is right: We love her.

EPA issues emergency order to ensure cleanup of Flathead Lake (Mont.) gasoline spill
Release Date: 05/22/2008
Contact Information: Mark Chalfant, 303-312-6177; Wendy Chipp 303 312-6603
(Denver, Colo. -- May 22, 2008) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today issued an administrative order requiring Keller Transport Inc. to clean up contamination resulting from an April 2 tractor trailer spill of 6,380 gallons of gasoline on Highway 35 near Polson, Mont. The location of the spill lies along Flathead Lake within the boundaries of the Flathead Reservation, home to the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
"EPA is issuing this order to ensure that Keller Transport follows through and cleans up the contamination associated with this spill," said EPA's assistant regional administrator in Denver, Mike Gaydosh. "Extensive actions remain necessary to fully protect the health of local residents and the renowned aquatic and recreational resources provided by Flathead Lake," added John Wardell, director of EPA's Montana office in Helena.
While response crews have been working in the spill area since April 3, EPA's order will require that all appropriate actions are taken to clean up contaminated soils and water and eliminate hazardous vapors in nearby residences. Actions completed to date have included the installation of monitoring wells, a system to pump and treat contaminated water, and the evacuation and ventilation of several homes impacted by petroleum vapors. Recent sampling indicates that petroleum hydrocarbons, including benzene and toluene, have migrated to Flathead Lake. At this time, there is no evidence that the local drinking water supply has been impacted.
EPA's administrative order is issued under authorities established by the Clean Water Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. Under the order, Keller Transport must provide EPA with a work plan within 25 days. This plan should specify future cleanup actions and provide a schedule for their completion. EPA may approve, disapprove or modify the work plan as necessary. EPA's oversight of Keller Transport's response actions will ensure that cleanup levels meet tribal and federal regulations.

Short review: Older, larger, hairier and all bound up. That's one way to describe this very specialist and excellent site. It's purely about the fetish of bondage, more specifically it is about binding and gagging bears. Don't expect graphic sex scenes, the binding is the thing, but you have exclusive clips, galleries, stories and drawings. You won't find much better than this for bears and bondage.
Content Amount: I counted over 500 MPG clips that ran for around two minutes each, available to download or stream. There were well over 1,200 image galleries with around 45 good sized pics per set, plus eight graphic novel episodes and four erotic stories, links and bon

On June 15, a book tied in with the For Greater Glory movie will be released by Ignatius Press. Bearing the same name as the movie, it is a history of the Cristero Movement. The author was recently interviewed by Zenit:
ZENIT: Neither a film nor a ZENIT interview is sufficient to explain all the historical intricacies of such a complex epoch. Still, could you give us a brief overview of the Cristero War?
Quezada: The Cristero War is a chapter in Mexico's history in the 1920s, when thousands of Catholics answered this crucial question [of religious freedom] at the cost of their very lives. President Plutarco Calles launched a direct attack on the Catholic Church using articles from Mexico's Constitution, which created this uprising and counter-revolution against the Mexican government during that time. The original rebellion was set off by the persecution of Roman Catholics and a ban on their public religious practices.
There are two important dates to point out here.
The persecution began on Aug. 1, 1926, when the government re-enacted the penal code and forced the closure of all Catholic churches throughout the entire country with its new anticlerical laws. However, the first coordinated uprising for religious freedom did not occur until Jan. 1, 1927.
It was not until mid June 1929 when the truce was officially signed, bringing an end to the Cristero War.
ZENIT: Is For Greater Glory a historically accurate film?
Quezada: Apart from some "artistic license" the film is essentially accurate.
ZENIT: The movie alludes to some discrepancy between the Vatican's position regarding the religious persecution, and that of the Cristero fighters. Could you explain this?
Quezada: When the oppression was about to begin, the Vatican granted permission — requested by the Mexican bishops — to cease any Catholic religious services in order to avoid confrontations. Additionally, the Holy See wrote letters to the government requesting they abolish the Calles Law. The government ignored each request. As the war intensified, Rome continued to have direct communications with President Calles to ask for leniency. Not only were Vatican officials [in Mexico] dismissed, but diplomatic relations were broken off by the government. Lastly, Pope Pius XI wrote an encyclical letter to the clergy and the faithful of Mexico to give them courage and hope during this persecution. There was really not much else the Holy See could do. On Nov. 18, 1926, the Pope sent the encyclical letter Iniquis Afflictisque (On the Persecution of the Church in Mexico) to offer prayers and encouragement during this difficult time.
Go here to read the rest. I will be purchasing the book when it is released. Another book I highly recommend is Jean Meyer's The Cristero Rebellion: The Mexican People Between Church and State 1926-1929. A French historian, Meyer is the foremost authority on the Cristero Movement having been studying and writing about it since the seventies. Originally approaching the Cristero War from a Marxist perspective, he came to understand that this was truly a mass movement in defense of the Church by Mexican Catholics. A blurb for the book gives the flavor of Meyer's perspective:

240 volts, 50Hz. A variety of power outlets are used
in India, but most plugs have two or three round
Although English is generally used for official and
business purposes, Hindi is the official language and is spoken by
about 40 percent of the population. Urdu is the language common
with the Muslim demographic. India has a total of 22 official
In India, taxi drivers do not expect to be tipped; however,
tipping is expected in other services (porters, guides, hotel staff
and waiters in small establishments). In tourist restaurants or
hotels a 10% service charge is often added to bills. 'Baksheesh' is
common in India: more a bribe than a tip, it is given before rather
than after service.
Travellers in India must be aware of, but not paranoid about,
the threat of terrorism. Recent attacks in Mumbai, Delhi,
Ahmedabad, Agra and Bangalore occurred in popular tourist haunts
like hotels, railway stations, markets and temples. There is the
threat that public places frequented by Western tourists in the
metropolitan centres (Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Mumbai) may be
targeted in future. Tourist areas such as Goa are also at risk.
Travellers visiting large religious events are advised that these
ceremonies, which attract hundreds of thousands of people, can
result in life-threatening stampedes. Increased security at major
airports means travellers can expect delays. On a more everyday
level, there is a risk of minor property left, such as
pick-pocketing - but incidents of violent crime in India are
astonishingly low. Travellers using India's vast railway network
are advised to lock their baggage, and to keep it as close to them
as possible. There are also always stories about India involving
scam-artists - so be on your guard, and if someone offers you a
'business opportunity' that seems too be good to be true, remember
that it probably is.
India is a tolerant society, but visitors should educate
themselves about its religious and social customs so as not to
cause offence: for example, smoking in public was banned in October
2008. When visiting temples visitors will probably be required to
remove their footwear and cover their heads. Generally, women
should dress more conservatively than (perhaps) they are used to
doing at home, both to respect local sensibilities and to avoid
unwanted attention. Topless bathing is illegal. Indians do not like
to disappoint, and often instead of saying 'no', will come up with
something that sounds positive, even if incorrect. Social order and
status are very important in Indian culture - remain respectful and
obliging with elders. Avoid using your left hand, particularly when
Business in India is conducted formally, with punctuality an
important aspect. Suits and ties are appropriate, and women in
particular should dress modestly. If it is very hot, jackets are
usually not required and short-sleeve shirts are deemed
appropriate. It is customary to engage in small talk before getting
down to business, and topics can range from anything from cricket
to politics. Business cards are usually exchanged on initial
introduction, using the right hand only. Handshakes are fairly
common, though one should wait to see if greeted with a hand, or a
a traditional Indian greeting of a small bow accompanied
by hands clasped as if in prayer. Visitors should return the
greeting. It is common for women to participate in business
meetings, and hold high positions in companies, and foreign
businesswomen are readily accepted. Business hours are usually from
9.30 to 5.30pm (weekdays) with a lunch break from 1pm to 2pm, and
Saturdays from 9.30am to 1pm.
The international access code for India is +91. The outgoing
code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the
United Kingdom). City/area codes are in use, e.g. (0)11 for Delhi.
International calls can be quite expensive and there are often high
surcharges on calls made from hotels; it is cheaper to use a
calling card. Alternatively, there are telephone agencies in most
towns which are identifiable by the letters STD for long distance
internal calls and ISD for the international service. The local
mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements
with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in
the main cities and resorts.
Travellers to India over 17 years do not have to pay duty on 200
cigarettes or 50 cigars or 250g tobacco; one bottle of alcohol;
medicine in reasonable amounts; 59ml of perfume and 250ml eau de
toilette; and goods for personal use. Prohibited items include
livestock, bird and pig meat products.

HOUSTON - One little girl has not only survived a rare procedure, but has recovered faster than doctors expected her to.
Eight-year-old Sammy had half of her brain removed at Texas Children's Hospital earlier this year.
Now, her parents are sharing her success story and why they made the difficult decision to move forward with the surgery.
Sammy had struggled with seizures for years. Doctors told her parents removing half of her brain was an option.
And although they were hesitant at first, the results are nothing short of amazing.
It's easy to see why they call the little girl "Sammy Strong."
Sammy and her twin Noah were born premature in 2008. At one pound, four ounces, they were given less than a 10 percent chance of survival.
Both lost their vision, but for Sammy there were more struggles.
"Around the age of 2, we both noticed what we believe was her first seizure, it was long and it was frightening." said Jordan Folloder, the twins' mother.
After years of doctor visits and trying different medications, her parents made the daunting decision to remove half of her brain.
"It sounds radial to remove or disconnect half of a child's brain." said Dr. Daniel Curry at Texas Children's Hospital.
But doctors at the hospital discovered the left side of her brain never fully developed.
"So if you disconnect it, the whole side, her good brain can start to develop and take over." said Dr. Curry.
After a grueling 15-hour surgery, the look on the faces of the Folloder family was priceless.
"The child we sent into the operating room is the child we got back, but ten fold." said Jordan.
Just hours after surgery, Sammy was able to tell her parents she loved them.
What's even more miraculous: Instead of a summer-long stay at the hospital, Sammy walked out after just ten days.
Since leaving the hospital, she has been seizure free.
"That's the gift of Sammy, she never complains, she never quits." said Jordan.
Sammy's family donated the proceeds from her #SammyStrong t-shirts to The Blue Bird Circle Clinic at Texas Children's.
It helps other families in similar situations. After all this, their goal was to pay it forward.
What a miracle! Sammy struggled w/ seizures for yrs until parents made difficult decision to remove 1/2 her brain @TexasChildrens #KHOU11 pic.twitter.com/tdZroSUVap— Grace White (@GraceWhiteKHOU) October 7, 2016

And a few more Hasbro answers posted by Jedi Temple Archives:Highlights:- The UGH figures will not be rereleased.
I want more animated figures from the Clone Wars, not realistic.
"In a movie year, Evolutions was a way for us to include figures with premium articulation in our line. This year, we're doing more of this style figure in the basic assortment, so we did not see the need for a separate line"Huh? The basic ROTS figure had more articulation than a basic TSC figure. Just goes to show that either they don't know what they're talking about, or they just don't get it...
KAY-BEE STANDARD RESPONSE: "All we have is 1990's 'Robocop' toys."WHICH MEANS: "Holy ******* ****, please shoot m
The VTSC Han,Luke & Scout are about the same as ROTS'.
3. What are the chances of one more Animated Clone Wars Wave (or box set)? We still need to get C-3PO, R2-D2, Padme (Ilum Snow Gear), and Darth Sidious to round out our sets!** Characters in Clone Wars are great - and we're looking at ways of getting more of them in the line for 2007. However any we do will be in "realistic" styling rather than animated. Weve done some polling with fans, and overall the realistic style is preferred.
And last, put me down as hugely disappointed in no VOTC Stormie re-release however I agree that putting him onto basic cards somehow is fine... Their reply could've just meant he isn't coming out on the VOTC cardback again and all that, as he is obviously being used for the Sandie... I just hope that's their basic Stormie they offer us sometime in the figure in the BASIC line. That's just even better of course. That was a sort of foggy question and answer really.

Sharks F Clowe out after surgeryNHL.com @NHLdotcom
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) -Left wing Ryane Clowe will be out of the San Jose Sharks' lineup for at least a week after undergoing lower-body surgery.
Clowe is the latest San Jose regular to be sidelined by an unspecified injury, which apparently occurred during the Sharks' loss at Phoenix on Tuesday night.
The power forward is the Sharks' fourth-leading scorer with 52 points while playing in all 69 games on San Jose's second line.
San Jose began Thursday trailing Detroit by three points for the overall NHL lead. The Sharks faced Nashville without forwards Clowe, Mike Grier, Tomas Plihal, Jeremy Roenick and Claude Lemieux.
Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff returned to the Sharks' lineup after missing three games with a lower-body injury.

Manchester United were crowned champions yet again last season, finishing the campaign eleven points above nearest rivals Manchester City.
Furthermore, Reading, who finished in 19th, were also eleven points off of their target; which was Premier League survival.
The aforementioned facts prove that both the title race and the battle against relegation were not exactly a close-run last day phenomenon, however, clubs that are expected to finish at both the top and bottom of the table have been extremely active in this summer transfer window so far.
Three of the top four clubs from last season have changed their manager, hundreds of millions of pounds have been spent and we're only halfway through the transfer window. United's main rival, Manchester City have already splashed out over £90million, bringing in the likes of Fernandihno, Jesus Navas and Stevan Jovetic.
Chelsea have been active as well, claiming the signatures of Marco Van Ginkel and the highly rated Andre Schurlle.
Whilst at the other end of the table, Southampton have signed some very reputable players, including former Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama, Norwich have been building upon their already solid squad, bringing in Gary Hooper and Leroy Fer, newly promoted Cardiff have been heavily linked with French international Etienne Capoue, showing the impact they intend to have on the Premier League this year. Moreover, Sunderland have been the busiest club in the league so far, with a total of nine signings.
The return of the 'Special One' and the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson have been the major talking points this summer, many pundits believe that these two managerial alterations will have a huge impact on the title race next season, some have even suggested this could spell the end of Man United's stranglehold on the Premier League. However, the return of Jose Mourihno may not be as rosy as some Blues fans would hope; managers second spells are famed for ending in disaster, take 'King Kenny', he won three league titles in his six year stay first time round, in his second stint, he was there for just over a year, and finished in eighth place.
Furthermore, Howard Kendall, Everton's most successful manager, won four major trophies and three charity shields during his six years at the club between 1981 and 1987, when he returned in 1990, he stayed for three years, winning nothing, and when he came back for a third time in 1997, it was even more of a calamity, as he was manager for less than a year!
I predict that Manchester City will win the league next year, I also think that Hull, Crystal Palace and Stoke will get relegated; but only one thing is for sure, the 2013/14 campaign will be thoroughly exciting and hopefully provide many twists and turns throughout.

End Of An Era
The BCS era comes to a close with the Florida State Seminoles taking the title with a dramatic second-half comeback. Recap »
Thanks for visiting the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) official website. The BCS is one of the most successful events in the history of college football, yet it is often misunderstood. We hope the information on this site will help answer your questions and give you an accurate picture of what the BCS is and isn't.
The BCS is a five-game showcase of college football. It is designed to ensure that the two top-rated teams in the country meet in the national championship game, and to create exciting and competitive matchups among eight other highly regarded teams in four other bowl games. For more on the background of the BCS, click here.
It has been undeniably successful in achieving those goals. Thanks to the BCS, the top two teams have played each other 15 times in 15 years by BCS measurements and 12 times in the last 15 according to the AP poll -- including the last nine years in a row. Additionally, it has provided more access to the major bowls for all Division I Football Bowl Subdivision conferences, more television exposure, and more postseason revenue than ever before.
This site is a resource for college football fans, media and others interested in how the system works. Check here often for news about the BCS and the schools, conferences and bowls.
