They are a shoddy organization and the term "university" is used very loosely. Some new staff this year at my uni are suing them. They fire at will and the place is run by a sadistic Kuwaiti who has no idea how to run either a university or a business.

They always seem to be looking to fly people to Kuwait at the last minute, something not everyone can do if they have a job and a life on the other side of the world. What about the salary? I understand they pay about US$3600 a month, but you have to pay about US$900 a month for housing out of that. That almost brings your salary down to Omani levels! Any comments?

If that is true, obviously Oman is a better choice. Especially based on the start up problems that have seemed to linger at this place. If you can't get into The American University in Kuwait, probably better to be in even one of the recruiter jobs in Oman. Just my opinion...

It is a terrible place to work. Faculty and staff get fired regularly without any warning. They also make you sign an illegal(against Kuwaiti labor law) contract where you are not allowed to work anywhere else as a teacher if you ever stop working for them. It is extremely unprofessional because I knew at least 10 teachers and a dozen administrative staff who got fired and replaced overnight for no reason. They also purposely and personally come after you once you leave by lying about you, blacklisting you from returning to Kuwait, withholding your indemnity and cancelling your residency among other things. They also make you stay from 8am to 5pm regardless of your teaching schedule. There are many other awful things but I think that is enough. Please, do yourself a favor and work anywhere else except AUM or ACM.

I myself work at AUM and all I can say is - we are ambitious, we are open, we are diverse, we are demanding and hard-working. We do the things with our heart, we respect and expect respect back. As I see some comments here are mean but it says more about the people who wrote it rather than about AUM. Some of the comments are totally based on subjective perceptions that is not convincing for anybody at all. We do really well, we are expanding, we are building, we are developing! And I'll bring a simple example from my experience - I see a huge difference between the time I started working there (2 years ago) and where we are now. I'm sure I will witness better and bigger achievements at AUM. My dears, if you want to know some updates about AUM I'll be happy to share Back to top alnormanJoined: 14 Aug 2013Posts: 4 Posted: Sat Sep 07, 2013 4:10 pm Post subject: AUM is cancer In my 25 years of managing various colleges and universities in Europe and Latin America, I could have never imagined that such rampant violation of every academic standard as it happens at AUM is possible. AUM is a cancer on the educational body of Kuwait. Just like cancer, it grows very fast: starting with 25 students in 2008, AUM now has over 1500 students. And each semester hundreds more Kuwaiti citizens flock to AUM with promises of easy grades, all-paid scholarships, and so called "character" development. AUM and ACM are the central part of a for-profit organization, which came up with an ingenious scheme to pump millions of dinars out of Kuwaiti government under the pretence of providing real education. This is how the devious scheme works: 1) AUM gets affiliation with Purdue University; 2) Purdue affiliation makes AUM eligible to receive payments from a government organization called Private Universities Council (PUC). For each and every AUM student, who is a Kuwaiti citizen and "maintains" a good GPA, AUM gets 20000 EUR annually. Each Kuwaiti citizen that studies at AUM also receives about 600 EUR monthly for "studying" at AUM. 4) All what is needed for AUM to keep its affiliation with Purdue is to create an appearance of real education, to put shiny wrapper on the deeply fraudulent scheme. In this scheme, both the AUM administration and AUM students line their pockets with money. Neither students nor the AUM administration is interested in learning. However, maintaining affiliation with Purdue is not easy. AUM has to "prove" on paper that students learn according to "Purdue standards." Producing all this "proof" rests on the shoulders of AUM faculty, who are exploited immensely and daily to produce according to the administration tastes various "reports" and "lesson plans," post "homeworks" on online register Moodle, take daily attendances of every student, prepare lessons and exams "according to Purdue syllabus" This is all FRAUD. No actual learning happens. I saw too many senior AUM business students that fail to answer the simplest economics 101 questions. AUM students, with very few exceptions, are extremely ignorant but at the same time feel entitled to get As. AUM faculty have to pretend that their students know, and give fake grades. The real level of AUM students is so despicably low that most would fail in a mediocre high-school. Yet, they "pass" all Purdue-certified courses and exams with straight As but know almost nothing. AUM is NOT about learning, it is about sucking money out of PUC and pretending that real education is going on there. It is hard to imagine a more deceitful university. Fraud is not just a daily occurrence at AUM. Fraud is infused into the very bones of this university. AUM administration uses all possible tactics (intimidation, spying, lies) to make all employees say only positive things about the university. This is part of "character" development. Any faculty that dares to speak the truth is called a spreader of negativity and will be immediately fired for "failing to work on her character." AUM makes their HR employees to post positive reviews on forums like this, they incessantly talk about "professionalism," "integrity," "quality," and "the highest education standards in the world." They even plaster those "positive" words around the hallways. All this is nothing but lies. All this is done to cover up the scheme and continue to pump millions of dinars out of PUC. Any faculty who enters AUM ought to leave their integrity and honesty behind and be ready to commit academic fraud every working day. There is no place after AUM. It morally corrupts everyone who works there. That being said, there are some people that can find AUM an acceptable place to work. Those faculty that gave up on real academic career (no reputable university will hire any faculty that worked at AUM for over a year), those that are willing to sell out daily, those that are willing to come home exhausted from all the lies and fraud five times a week, those can save money if they can last at AUM for 4-5 years and if AUM can last that long. It would be some tidy some that can be enough to retire in some developing country, like Thailand or Belize.

#palliative radiation therapy
Veterinary Palliative Radiation Therapy
Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (VHUP)
Last Modified: June 5, 2013
Palliative therapy can be thought of as "comfort care". It is treatment intended to maintain a good quality of life for patients in which long-term cancer control is not possible. Palliative radiation therapy can be used to control the symptoms associated with many localized tumors that cannot be treated by other methods (such as surgical removal). These symptoms include pain, bleeding, and decreased function. Radiation is usually combined with anti-inflammatory and pain medications to maximize the relief of cancer-related symptoms. The goals of palliative therapy are to provide symptom-relief, and not to increase survival time or cure the cancer. Radiation therapy is particularly useful in alleviating pain associated with tumors that are arising from, or invading into bone. About two thirds of patients have moderate to significant improvement, and the effects can last for a few weeks to several months. Decrease in symptoms can occur as quickly as several days after the first treatment, or it may take a few weeks before improvement is seen.
Palliative radiation involves delivering a few large doses of radiation over several weeks. The typical plan involves giving three treatments on days 0, 7, and 21 (in other words, two treatments a week apart, followed by a week of rest, and then a third treatment if indicated). In most cases, palliative radiation therapy is a one-time course of treatment and cannot be repeated. Each treatment requires light anesthesia because the patient must be completely still during the procedure—there is no pain or discomfort associated with delivery of the radiation. Your pet must have no food after 8 PM the night before each treatment (water is okay) to insure an empty stomach prior to anesthesia.
Patients are treated as outpatients, with each treatment requiring about 2-3 hours at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This time includes preparation for anesthesia, treatment delivery, and recovery. The radiation is focused on the tumor, and the fur in this area will be clipped and pen marks used to outline the treatment area. A small area on a leg will also be clipped for an intravenous catheter (I.V.) used during the anesthesia. Your pet may be a little groggy or sedate for several hours after going home, and should be kept quiet and have limited food and water until fully recovered.
Side effects are minimal, and are limited to the area receiving radiation. They start after about three to four weeks from the first treatment and last for a few weeks. The radiated area will be pink to red and hairless and there may be some mild flaking or crusting of the skin. Treatments of these side effects include the use of topical medications and preventing your pet from licking, rubbing, or scratching at the treated area. Eventually the skin in this area will become very dark to black, and some sparse hair may regrow. Long term side effects (such as the risk of non-healing wounds) take many months or years to occur, and are typically not a problem because most patients undergoing palliative care have a life expectancy of less than one year due to their cancer.

Y-bearing units do not need relubrication when the grease life (→ Grease life for Y-bearings) exceeds the SKF rating life of the bearing (→ Bearing size).
Relubrication can extend bearing unit service life under any of the following conditions:
- The bearings are exposed to high humidity or severe contamination.
- The bearings accommodate normal or heavy loads.
- The bearings operate for extended periods at high speeds or at temperatures above 55 °C (130 °F).
- The bearings are subjected to high vibration levels.
To relubricate Y-bearing units, the following greases can be used:
Y-bearing units comprising either zinc-coated and stainless steel bearings
→ food-grade grease SKF LGFP 2
all other Y-bearing units
→ SKF LGWA 2, LGMT 2 or LGMT 3 grease
If relubrication is needed, the relubrication intervals can be estimated following the method explained under Estimating the relubrication interval for grease.
When relubricating, the shaft should be turned and grease should be pumped slowly until fresh grease starts to escape from the seal(s). Excessive pressure from pumping too quickly can damage the seals. When machines and equipment are used for a limited period of time, SKF recommends relubricating each bearing at the end of the operational period, i.e. immediately before being laid up.
Relubrication features
Y-bearing units with a pressed steel housing are not equipped with a grease fitting and therefore cannot be relubricated.
Relubrication features for other housings made of:
Cast iron
- Grease fitting with a 1/4-28 SAE-LT thread. Exceptions are housings used for bearings with inch bore diameter larger than 1 in. and with designation suffix U, which are equipped with a grease fitting with a 1/8-27 NPT thread.
- The hole for the grease fitting has a 1/4-28 UNF thread, which can be changed to G 1/4, using an LAPN 1/4 UNF adapter. Exceptions are housings used for bearings with inch bore diameter larger than 1 in. and with designation suffix U, which have a 1/8-27 NPT threaded hole.
- For cast iron units comprising 5-lip seal bearings, which do not have any relubrication feature, the housing relubrication feature is plugged (designation suffix W).
Relubrication feature available on request (designation suffix N).
- Relubrication feature available on request (designation suffix N).
Composite for SKF Food Line
- Relubrication feature available on request (designation suffixes N and VZ1A2 combined).
Stainless steel
- Plugged hole for a grease fitting (1/4-28 UNF thread).
SKF Y-bearings are designed to facilitate relubrication. They have two lubrication holes in the outer ring as standard, one on each side, positioned 120° apart.
Bearings without lubrication holes can be supplied on request (designation suffix W).The following bearings do not have the standard relubrication features:
Stainless steel Y-bearings with grub screws have a lubrication groove in the outer ring located on the side opposite the locking device and one lubrication hole within this groove. Stainless steel bearings with designation suffix GR have these features located at the side of the locking device.
- Y-bearings with a standard inner ring without designation suffix B and Y-bearings with 5-lip seals are lubricated for life and cannot be relubricated. They do not have any lubrication holes.

During this period, between the 17th of Tamuz and the 9th of Av, there is an increased focus upon various historical calamities that befell the Jewish people. Jewish history is unfortunately replete with such examples. Some instances have spawned specific days of commemoration while others have produced whole bodies of literature. And, while the literature surrounding these events is diverse, covering liturgy, poetry, history, we focus on one type: the chronicle. Additionally, our focus is the Chmielnicki Massacres, or Gezerot Tach ve-Tat. The Hebrew refers to the dates – 1648-49 – when the majority of Jew-killing took place. While these events took place hundreds of years ago, its effects including the total number of Jews killed is still being debated by scholars. (See Jits van Straten, "Did Shmu'el Ben Nathan and Nathan Hanover Exaggerate: Estimates of Jewish Casualties in the Ukraine During the Cossack Revolt in 1648," Zutot 6:1 (2009), 75-82, calling into question the lower estimates of Shaul Stampfer, "What Actually Happened to the Jews of Ukraine in 1648?" Jewish History 17:2 (May 2003), 207-27.)
The most well-known chronicle describing the events is that of R. Nathan of Hanover, Yaven Metzulah. There is an English translation of Hanover's work, Abyss of Despair, translated by R. Abraham J. Mesch. The translation includes a "traditional drawing of Maharsha."
While it is not noted, this illustration, that has Maharsha with long flowing hair first appears in the Vienna, 1814 edition of the Maharsha's commentary (vol. I, vol. II). While Mesch indicates this is the "traditional drawing" we know of no earlier instance than the Vienna edition. This was not the only Vienna edition that includes a questionable portrait. The 1804 Vienna edition of R. Yitzhak Alfasi's Halakhot also includes a portrait that is claimed to be R. Alfasi. Again, we know of no earlier evidence that would confirm such a rendering.
A collection of these chronicles was published most recently Gezerat Tach ve-Tat, Jerusalem, 2004. Additionally, Joel Raba, Between Remembrance and Denial, Columbia Univ. Press, 1995, discusses these chronicles as does the collection of articles that appears in the journal, Jewish History 17:2 (May, 2003).
We turn our attention, however, to a lesser known work from this period, Tzok ha-Itim. Tzok was actually the first chronicle regarding the 1648-49 events published. It was first published in Krakow, 1650 (link). Indeed, some have argued that Hanover relied heavily on Tzok in compiling Yaven Metzulah (first published in 1653).
Tzok was republished in Constantinople in 1652. This edition is exceedingly rare. According to Ya'ari, there is but one complete copy extant. (See Ya'ari, Kiryat Sefer, (16) 1939-40). This edition was published by R. Shmuel ben R. Shimson who on his way to Israel after fleeing the massacres. At the end of the book he includes a dirge (kinnah) about the events. He also penned his own introduction which describes his own suffering. He says that "I am the only remaining survivor in my family as the rest were killed sanctifying god's name . . . although I was spared . . . my wife and children I buried, I lost all of my possessions . . . ." He explains that "all I wanted was to dwell in the bet midrash and therefore I decided to travel to Jerusalem" and that while he was on his journey he came across Tzok and decided to reprint it in Constantinople "so that what has occurred shall not be forgotten." (Ya'ari, Mechkerei Sefer, Jerusalem, 1958 p. 16 reprints the entire introduction, he also provides other accounts of people, who, on their way to Israel, issued works related to 1648-49 massacres.)
Tzok was then reissued in Venice in 1656.
The first two editions list R. Meir ben Shmuel of Szczebrzeszyn as the author. The 1656 edition, however, lists a completely different author, R. Joshua ben David of Lemberg. It is not only on the title page that a different author is listed. The work itself is not composed as traditional narrative. Instead, it is written in verse. The first verses in all the editions spell out the author's name in an acrostic. Thus, the 1650 and 1652 editions have an acrostic that spells out R. Meir of Szczebrzeszyn's name while the 1656 edition acrostic spells out R. Joshua's name. In some instances words are added to create the "new" acrostic, while in other instances, the highlighted letters are changed.
Here is the introduction to the Constantinople edition:
And here is the introduction to the Venice edition:
As an aside it is worth noting that this is not the only time a plagiarizer has been forced to change the acrostic to hide his stolen goods. (See Kitvei Pinchas Turburg, ed. A. R. Malachi, 24-36 for additional examples of acrostic changes, and see this earlier post discussing similar changes to hide the identity of the true author, and see this post where the plagiarizer was caught in the act and forced to admit his guilt and apologize). Additionally, at least in one instance the acrostic was able to demonstrate authorship. In the Siddur Bet Ya'akov (although attributed to R. Y. Emden, this siddur contains numerous additions as compared to R. Emden's actual siddur called Ammudei Shamayim - Sha'arei Shamayim; this is one of them) the Belzer Rebbe asserts that the author of the zemer Yom Shabbat Kodesh Hu had his song stolen. He came across the plagiarizer and challenged him to prove authorship. Specifically, the real author showed that his name, Yonatan, could be seen in the acrostic, and with this he vanquished the thief. R. Emden uses this story to explain the meaning behind the final verse which loosely translated as "all the talk [about authorship] should [now] end now that I have enlarged the song [and demonstrated my authorship] . . . and that no one should ever steal from me as this song is my property."
An example where the acrostic actually has the opposite effect, obscuring the original author is also a zemer, Yom Zeh le-Yisrael. At times, this song can be confusing depending upon which bencher one is using. This so, because some version have a shorter version while others have a longer ( see here for example). Some argue that the two versions are indicative of two authors, one, the original author which only spelled out Yitzhak (and then lamed vav) to which all the other verses were added, now spelling Yitzhak Luria Hazak. (Regarding this zemer see Naftali ben Menachem, Zemirot shel Shabbat, Israel, 1949, 144-45; I. Davidson, Thesaurus of Mediaeval Hebrew Poetry, Ktav, 1970, vol. II, 348.)
Returning to Tzok, because the acrostic lends support for either author, some didn't know who the "real" author was. In the 1890s, a number of these chronicles regarding bad events in Jewish history were collected and published under the title Le-Korot ha-Gezerot 'al Yisrael by C. Gorlin. Included is Tzok. But, instead of a traditional introduction, he prefaces Tzok with a section "Who is the real author?" Gorlin argues that the real author is indeed R. Meir and not R. Joshua. This is not the first time that there is some confusion regarding who is the real author and who is the thief, for another example see here and for another example of modern day plagiarism see here.
With regard to the Constantinople edition, Ya'ari demonstrates that this edition is better than the first, in that many of the typos and the like have been corrected. Unfortunately, perhaps due to its rarity, the 2004 edition of Tzok relies upon the 1650 edition and not the better 1652. Additionally, the 1652 edition is one of the works published by a convert. Of course, this is probably what first got Ya'ari interested as he provides a bibliography of works published by converts.
It should be noted that Tzok was rather popular even if it is no longer. When R. David ha-Levi Segal, author of the commentary on Shulhan Orakh, Turei Zehav, sent a delegation to the false messiah, Shabbatai Tzvi, when the delegation entered, they record that Shabbatai Tzvi had a copy of Tzok on the table. (See G. Scholem, Sabbati Sevi, Princeton Univ. Press, 1976, p. 623 quoting Leib Ozer, Sippurei Ma'ashi Sabbati Tzvi, p. 81 and Sefer Tziz Nobel Tzvi, ed. I. Tishby, pp. 77-79.)
Finally, we note that the most recent edition, the 2004 op. cit., uses the Krakow first edition, even though Ya'ari has already shown that the rare Constantinople edition corrected numerous errors that appear in the Krakow edition.

Cisco Selected by AT&T for Domain Network Equipment Supplier
Collaboration is a beautiful thing especially when two parties share the same goals and values. Our long-standing relationship with AT&T exemplifies this.
Today, Cisco was selected by AT&T as one of three domain suppliers for Internet Protocol (IP)/MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS)/Ethernet/Evolved Packet Core equipment for AT&T's industry-leading IP network.
Cisco is proud to be selected by AT&T to continue to provide our innovative product family of solutions within the IP/ MPLS/Ethernet/Evolved Packet Core domain. This reinforces our long-standing, strong relationship with AT&T, a thought-leader within the communications arena.
AT&T's Domain Supplier program, launched in September 2009, facilitates a more collaborative relationship with its equipment and software suppliers, ensuring that AT&T has the best technologies in place to serve its customers.
The confidence that AT&T has shown us is greatly welcomed. At Cisco, we like working with visionary companies, and AT&T is certainly one of them with a history and a future of aggressive deployments and innovative offerings that can change the market and raise the expectations of what's possible for the networked experience for all of us.
Our collaboration with AT&T extends well beyond their Domain Supplier program. For example, earlier this year:
- AT&T became the first service provider to bring to market a network-based videoconferencing bridging capability that enables users of Cisco TelePresenceTM technology to hold inter-company telepresence sessions with both standard- and high-definition video equipment from multiple vendors.
- AT&T successfully completed a live network environment field trial of 100-Gigabit backbone network technology that was enabled by the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS).
We value our relationship with AT&T and remain eager to support AT&T's business objectives.

What Can Judge Wright Do To Team Prenda Tomorrow?
from the getting-ready dept
He has some power to issue sanctions or argue that they're in contempt, but all of those powers are somewhat limited. And while they can be damaging, it may not go as far as some people hoped. The bigger issue may be if Judge Wright decides to refer the matter to others -- including various state bars, the US district courts and circuit court bars, and (of course) to the US Attorneys' Office. While he notes that all of these places tend to be busy on other things, getting a referral directly from a federal court judge usually makes these folks wake up and pay some attention -- and, at the very least, begin an investigation.
Ken also doubts that Judge Wright will rule immediately, but will see how the hearing goes. Ken predicts that he then will issue "a carefully-worded order with findings of fact" and then likely make referrals to the state and federal bars. Either way, we'll cover the details...

With 14 starters returning, including stud QB Keith Price and TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, the team's offense shouldn't skip a beat. With practices close this Spring, though, it is hard to gauge how the team is looking – especially with 3 new defensive coaches and a new defense being installed.

For young Jack is a small lion in my house.
—Hunt Hawkins, "My Cat Jack"
For there is the Thunder-Stop, which is the voice of God direct.
—Christopher Smart, "Of the Spiritual Musick"
For the parts of the Tibetan lion dog are as follows:
For the heart is murmurous but sound;
For the head is a chrysanthemum nuzzling the tall grass, but softer,
more smellable yet;
For the nose leather is black, polished, and the shelf of the nose
For the fleecy white bellyhair seems edible to children;
For the torso is a stretched and sturdy monument when the lion dog
guards our house, sphinx of the sliders;
For the right forepaw of the sphinx is precious paw, ever curled
to the pettable chest;
For the tremor in the neck is both theatrical and worrisome;
For the pituitary tumor is a goad to the adrenal glands;
For the tail is a plume but in her last days ratskinned;
For the golden coat is now sparse, the keratoses not;
For the pancreas is a vindictive organ, furious with fat;
For the flux is pure blood;
For the blood is the blood of Paper Dragon and Yobo Ting-Yay,
of Sonny Boy, Spot, and Judy, of the ancestral palace pets;
For the teeth are as sharp as my conscience;
For the eyes are on me as the lion dog roars and relaxes.

KALAMAZOO—An upcoming road closure will impact travel to Western Michigan University's Parkview Campus.
Starting Monday, Nov. 4, southbound Drake Road between Parkview Avenue and Stadium Drive will be closed so that contractors can remove and replace deteriorated concrete pavement. During the work, which is expected to take approximately two and a half weeks, traffic will be detoured via Stadium Drive, 11th Street and Parkview Avenue.
Traffic backups can be expected during peak travel times, so motorists heading south are encouraged to plan accordingly or find alternate routes. Northbound traffic on Drake Road will be maintained throughout the project with periodic restrictions to one lane.

Why Madison Presidential Listening Tour: Liberal Arts Alumni
President's Journal —
Liberal Arts Alumni, Joshua Wilton House, Harrisonburg
Nov. 12, 2012
We discussed the lifelong benefits of the liberal arts
Tonight, I enjoyed visiting with local liberal arts alumni and faculty at the Joshua Wilton House in Harrisonburg. Our "Why Madison?" Listening Tour event was hosted by the Liberal Arts Advisory Council. We were able to talk in a warm and personal atmosphere about the lifelong benefits a liberal arts education provides for our alumni.
Alumni and employers report they appreciate that educational foundation
Having gone to Swarthmore for my undergraduate education, I have an allegiance to a sound liberal arts education, as you might imagine. While the alumni who attended tonight can attest to the role of the liberal arts disciplines in their own lives, the "Why Madison?" Listening Tour is helping to highlight the important role they play in the fabric of JMU as well. They contribute to General Education, which all of our alumni study in addition to their majors—whether business or science or music. Alumni I have visited with around the country report that they appreciate that foundation now, even if they did not feel so kindly toward it when they were students. Employers are also telling us they value our graduates' critical thinking, and the analytical reading, writing and teamwork skills, much of which are a product of our liberal arts education.
Our graduates have the skills to thrive in careers in many fields
We had many faculty members attend this evening who ascribe to the belief that a liberal arts preparation is not only helpful in that first job out of college, but it is also an essential foundation for a career and lifelong learning and personal fulfillment. So our students are getting the critical thinking and communication skills and flexibility of mind that are crucial to every career and every field of study. Our liberal arts alumni are business owners, Hollywood screenwriters and producers, teachers, researchers, attorneys, doctors, politicians, peace activists, military leaders and more. They provide the knowledge and wisdom and skills to critically assess information, and make contextually grounded decisions.
The "Why Madison?" question will help us chart our future
We began this "Why Madison?" Listening Tour because we want to have a broad opportunity for the Madison community to talk about where we have been as an educational institution and where we want to go together. So we came up with "Why Madison?" as the central question to help us identify our strengths, our culture, and then talk about how we preserve and enhance them and go to the next level.
How will we describe the JMU of the future?
One of the challenges I've been relating to alumni and faculty along the tour is how we will describe James Madison University. As is clear tonight, we have many aspects of a small liberal arts college. But with close to 20,000 students, we're not a small liberal arts college. We have many of the opportunities associated with a research-intensive university, but we are not an R1 university. When I asked how many professors in the room tonight have guided or mentored undergraduate research, most hands of the faculty went up. That's not the case at other institutions.
A university with a heart and a conscience
Instead of trying to emulate another college or university, we must acknowledge our unique mix of opportunities and strengths and become the best James Madison University we can be. As you might have heard, I have been using the appellation, "the Engaged University," which is, essentially, the opposite of the isolated ivory tower. I believe this describes the learning occurring inside our classrooms and being applied outside our classrooms—in the local and international communities, for the benefit of P-12 schools, and to improve the lives of disadvantaged people. A lot of schools talk about it, but it is really happening here. This is a public university with a heart and a conscience. Our faculty and students really care about civic engagement and what it means to be a democratic society in the 21st century. These are hallmarks for us going forward, especially as we think about our tie to James Madison the person.
An Engaged University in action at Cedar Creek and Montpelier
Just a few days ago, I saw that Engaged University in action. I had the privilege to accompany Clarence Geier and his students on a cold and blustery Saturday morning to the archaeological dig at Cedar Creek, where the research JMU is doing is rewriting our understanding of that pivotal American Civil War battle. That work is a great example of the Engaged University in action. A group of us also went together recently to Montpelier, the home of James Madison, where JMU has been crucial to establishing and interpreting the historical legacy of James Madison and the enslaved population there. We met with the leaders of Montpelier to talk about intensifying our ongoing relationship. It was a wonderful interdisciplinary conversation that I'm confident will bear a lot of fruit in the future.
Preserving that special Madison educational culture
Gatherings like tonight's conversation—where alumni and faculty come out together to share their experiences and ideas--are very helpful as we chart our future. They also help foster in alumni a renewal of those relationships that are the life breath of the Madison Experience—the faculty-student interaction. We need to protect that going forward, and it is going to take resources.
Alumni ambassadors can make a difference
I can't say strongly enough how important and valuable to JMU it is for our alumni to act as ambassadors of the university. They know better than anyone the difference JMU has made in their lives and are best positioned to share their stories—in their workplaces, at social functions, as they travel around the world to conduct business. Alumni really can make a big difference—as volunteers, by mentoring students, conducting resume reviews and mock job interviews for our students, or offering jobs to our students.
Taking these actions can help
I was happy to see a flyer tonight that actually enumerated some ways in which liberal arts alumni can act as Madison ambassadors. I'll recount them here because I believe that the university as a whole can benefit if all alumni follow these steps.
• Make contact with your old professors and bring yourself up to date on what's happening in your major.
• Work with your place of employment to offer an internship to JMU students.
• Offer advice on career paths to students.
• Join your college's or department's Facebook page.
• Make a gift to JMU, perhaps in honor of a professor who made a difference in your life.
We need to increase our 7 percent giving participation rate
Taking these actions—as well as others—will also help us address a troubling disconnect that shocked some people tonight. Ninety-seven percent of JMU alumni report they are happy with their educational experience. That 97 percent statistic is virtually unparalleled in higher education. But then the other shoe drops—only 7 percent of our alumni make a monetary gift to JMU.
Do alumni realize the rarity of their educational experience?
One gentleman tonight insightfully suggested reminding alumni of their positive experience and asking them to preserve and enhance it by making a gift to JMU or to their programs. I heard earlier in the day at another meeting that our alumni might not realize how rare their particular educational experience was because they have no other university experience with which to compare it. So part of our challenge will be to educate our alumni and then make a meaningful ask that connects to things alumni feel positively about.
Tonight's ideas will be funneled to the Madison Future Commission
The ideas that were discussed tonight will be shared with the Madison Future Commission, which will chart our course for the future of James Madison University and help set the priorities for our next capital campaign. This process helps us think about how we will focus our energies.
We can accomplish a lot more together
While those of us in leadership at the university are certainly reaching out to spread the word about JMU, we cannot do it alone. Alumni can help tell the story about the needs and the magnificent opportunities that exist at James Madison University. It is an exciting time at JMU, and we can accomplish a lot more if we can do it together.

Google has again replenished stocks of its Nexus 4 smartphone in the Australian Play Store.
The hard to come by smartphone went on sale last Thursday, but stocks of the 16GB model lasted less than seven hours before being listed as "temporarily out of stock".
That temporary hiatus is now over, with both the 8GB and 16GB models of the Nexus 4 available to order on Google's Play Store. A 2-3 week wait is listed for shipping.
Google has not clarified stock levels, so it remains to be seen how long the device will be on sale for. The temporary hiatus suggests the company may finally be able to meet demand for the smartphone.
The Nexus 4 first went on sale through the Play Store in mid-November last year, but both the 8GB and 16GB models were listed as "coming soon" less than an hour later.
Google is heavily promoting and selling its own-brand devices but the company has severely struggled with Nexus 4 stock levels since the mid-November, worldwide launch.
In addition to online sales, the 16GB model Nexus 4 went on sale "exclusively" through Harvey Norman retail stores last week for $496. However, most Australian stores are already out of stock of Nexus 4 devices.
The outright price through Harvey Norman is $97 more expensive than the Play Store, though Google charges $19.99 for shipping.

Voting Rights Act and Texas
Diane Xavier | 8/9/2013, 7:03 a.m. | Updated on 8/12/2013, 1:07 p.m.
The Dallas Examiner
Local politicians in North Texas are happy with the recent decision by the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue legal action against the state of Texas, requiring the state to receive preclearance before making any changes to its voting laws.
Rep. Eric Johnson, D-Dallas, said he applauds U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder for taking this action against the state after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
"I was really excited and happy that the Department of Justice intervened when the Shelby County v. Holder decision was handed down because certain places, like Texas, the Voting Rights Act are under attack," Johnson said. "The right to vote is the cornerstone of any democracy. It is the most important right we have as Americans no matter what race or color we are. It's critical the way our democracy functions."
According to Johnson, the 2011 redistricting maps approved by the Texas Legislature, along with the state's voter photo ID laws, discriminate against minorities, the poor and senior citizens.
"All you need to know is that something was wrong in redistricting," he said. "The congressional seats that were gained and added that Texas picked up as a result of our population growth did not reflect that growth in the Hispanic and African American populations. In other words, we got more Congressional representation because of our population growth but those seats did not reflect the reason our population increased which was due to the growth of the minority populations."
From 2000 to 2010, the population in Texas grew about 5.2 million people, according to the 2010 census. Johnson said of the 5.2 million new residents, 2.8 million people were of Hispanic descent.
"Over half of that growth came from the Hispanic community," Johnson said. "In essence, those Congressional seats were gerrymandered by the Republican majority in the Legislature to reflect the desires of the Republican Party in Texas to remain in control so that they can rig the system. As a result, those seats actually did not go where they should have gone. We don't have for instance a new Latino opportunity district in North Texas."
Johnson believes there is a big enough Hispanic population to have a Hispanic Congressional district in the North Texas area, where a Latino could win and that the Latino community could elect their representative.
"Because of gerrymandering, that didn't happen," Johnson said. "That's the problem with redistricting and that's what the Voting Rights Act preclearance process is supposed to protect against."
As far as voter ID laws, Johnson says a huge number of people will be affected.
"The big deal is that there are about 600,000 registered voters in Texas who don't have a drivers license and a lot of folks, especially elderly folks, who don't need a drivers license, are going to have to find a way to get one but how are they going to go there and get one if they can't drive and don't have a drivers license?" Johnson said. "So it disproportionately affects the elderly."

The Tagalong cookie gets a whole new nutritional label.
I was recently in the midst of a true food challenge. I'm talking about the kind that covers kitchens in batter. If I were going to share the inner perils and pleasures of veganizing and gluten-freeing a cookie, I thought, why not start with the ultimate? The snack that touts the highest of all cookie claims: "To help girls do great things" – from, you guessed it, the Girl Scouts.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2008, more than one-third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. And, this number is only increasing. Just read a Girl Scout Cookie's nutrition facts, and the irony is, it's chock full of heart-clogging ingredients, like partially hydrogenated cottonseed oil, a trans fat. The kind that lead to less healthy children who are at early onset risk of chronic diseases like diabetes.
While the Girl Scouts have touted their cookies as being trans fat free – something they can get away with if a single serving has less than .5 grams of this artery stifling substance – the Chicago Tribune revealed that Girl Scout Tagalongs, Samoas and Thin Mints still contain trans fats. In the case of Tagalongs, eat one sleeve (five cookies) and you'll most likely be taking in more than one gram of trans fat – a number directly linked to increased levels of harmful cholesterol (LDL) and a rise in risk for heart disease, stroke and type II diabetes. The even greater irony is that the Girl Scouts themselves have published a research review on childhood obesity titled "Weighing in: Helping Girls be Healthy Today, Healthy Tomorrow".
The idea to transform this classic cookie into a vegan and gluten-free delight, but also to make it healthier was a task I was willing to accept.
To make this occasion less daunting, I started with an already vegan version of the Girl Scout Tagalongs, compliments of vegan bloggers and inspirers Annie and Dan Shannon and VegNews.
Here's their mix:
For the Cookie Base
• 1 cup vegan margarine
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2-1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon applesauce
• 2 tablespoons vanilla soymilk
For the Peanut Butter Filling
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup chunky natural peanut butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating
• 1 10-ounce bag vegan chocolate chips
It's already a whole lot healthier than the Girl Scout's original. But never shying from a goal, I vowed to make these gluten, peanut and soy-free cookies packed with other heart healthy ingredients.
On par with it's peanut counterpart, almond butter is known as a high source of protein, particularly for vegetarians, and as a good way to get healthy, unsaturated fats. In fact, almond butter has half the saturated fat content of peanut butter, with just one gram per ounce. It also also packs extra doses of vitamin E, a free radical fighter that keeps our cells youthful and healthy, while being rich in fiber.
Here's the revamped recipe:
Makes approximately 24 cookies
For the Cookie Base
• ¾ cup sorghum flour
• ¾ cup brown rice flour
• ½ cup almond flour
• ¼ cup tapioca flour
• 1 cup vegan butter (I like Earth Balance Coconut Spread)
• ½ unbleached, granulated cup sugar
• ¼ teaspoon ground flax seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (plus a little extra if you love vanilla)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon applesauce
• 2 tablespoons almond milk
For the Almond Butter Filling
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• ½ cup almond butter (I used a smooth blend, but you can use chunky if preferred)
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating
• 10 ounces of vegan dark chocolate (I used 64% Valrhona chocolate)
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a stand mixer or a medium bowl with an electric handheld mixer, cream the vegan butter and sugar. Add the flour, flaxseed, vanilla, salt, applesauce, and almond milk, and blend until dough is smooth.
2. In a cookie press without a form or simply with your hands, roll the dough into a uniform tube. Slice into 1/4-inch wafers. On a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil, bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove and place on a wire cooling rack.
3. In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, almond butter, and salt. With your hands, use roughly 1 tablespoon of mixture to form small balls and gently press on top of each cookie. (You may need to add almond milk to the mix if it's too dry. If so, slowly add teaspoon by teaspoon until the mixture is moist but firm enough to form into small balls.)
4. In a double broiler, melt the chocolate. Once the chocolate is fully melted, drop cookies into the chocolate-filled dish one at a time, using a spoon to pour chocolate over the top and coat evenly.
5. Place the chocolate-coated cookies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. When all are coated, chill cookies in refrigerator for 2 hours or until the chocolate is fully hardened around the cookie. Enjoy!
When I shared these with my boyfriend, the first words out of his cookie-crumbled mouth were "These are beautiful!"
A friend declared them as light and buttery, and another friend called them "decadently rich." All three exclamations were from the discerning taste buds of non-vegan and full-on wheat eaters. And because this treat is nutritionally denser than their original counterparts, you needn't eat a whole stack of cookies to feel satisfied. Eat one, and you just may feel full. Eat two, and you'll still be able to button your pants.
We'll call these tasty, and, in Tagalong terms, a nutritional success. Hopefully, so will you.

Available as an instant download on Google Play, Jumplex-ToGo supports increasingly mobile workforces. With the swipe of a finger, the app configures input/output parameters. It also displays signal conditioner settings, process and configuration data, as well as actual measurement values.
To use the app, insert a Wago 750-921 Bluetooth Adapter into a Jumpflex Signal Conditioner. Then pair with a Bluetooth-equipped Android smartphone or tablet (V 2.3 or higher); the app will automatically detect the Jumpflex device employed. Users can save configuration data to an SD Card (if Android device is equipped) for easy data transfer to identical Jumpflex devices. The app is compatible with nine devices from Jumpflex mV Signal Conditioners to thermocouple and RTD devices.
The app supports increasing decentralized architectures, helping bring automation components closer to the actual process.

I am yet to buy this, although knowing my family and the people in it I doubt that I will have to. We all love fighters here. XP
I have the feeling that me and my step-father will be playing this endlessly just like we did the previous games. Soul Calibur IV looks amazing and I am quite anticipating the time in which I finally get it and play it. Should be decent to play online too, as I did used to play Dead or Alive 4 online non-stop before.

Another way to defeat The Apprentice is by letting him wear himself out using the force, he uses it almost every attack. Wait for him to use overuse it and when he does he'll grab his head and mutter some words, that's when you can get some big damage on him.
Just keep a bit of a distance and be sure to block whenever he attacks. He's so fast that he'll do one of those grabs that take quite a bit of health off or he'll combo you to death. I've only managed to beat him once ^^;.
I do like his design though, the attire he's wearing and the way he holds his Lightsaber definitely gives him style points.

Hey you guys. Been lurking at gamefaqs and just want to share that this girl (Heather Hogan) is the one who voiced Amy in the ENG.

Yoruichi Biased! ^_^
I really like it. I didn't play 3 at all so I'm not sure how it compares, but I was a big fan of SC2 and this feels very similar to that, so I like it. I haven't tried everything yet so I won't give it a number rating just yet, though.
But, I hated fighting the Apprentice in Arcade mode. He feels broken, but I guess if you are a seasoned Soul Calibur veteran it's probably easier to deal with him. I ended up using a customized Cassandra with Soul Calibur as her sword to beat him.

Just so you know, in all the tier lists I've seen up until now, the Apprentice ranks at the very bottom. Sophitia and Cassandra, as usual, are on top. Raphael now ranks as top tier, too, since he apparently got a tracking BB this time around.

I think its great, been playing it over the weekend and been enjoying it, Soul Caliburs is my fav gameplay in a fighting game heh, overall fantastic game although i feel the story mode was better in Soul Calibur 3.
Online is fun as well, doesn't take too long to level up either so it doesn't have that grinding feel to it.

Also, speaking of Cassandra, I think she will be my main again this time around. She was in 2 but I switched to Astaroth for 3. My friends pretty much suck at the game and I can typically perfect them just spamming her 236B with a few other moves thrown in. I love that move, it's also great for that annoying tower mode. I have seen lots of people who agonize over what skills to put on their custom guys for it, I just make a team of Cassandra, Cassandra, Custom Character with Cassandra's Stance. It's really easy to trap the AI doing nothing but alternating 236B and 1A. I'm not at the top floor yet so maybe they get smarter there but it's pretty pathetic so far.

The Evil Twin
Xianghua will probably end up around mid tier. She got pretty nerfed in this one, but I'm glad Amy is still as good, if not better than her SC3 AE version. Amy's likely going to end up top since she has a lot of mix ups, safe moves (eg. 33B), and auto-parry stances. On the other hand, Apprentice's main draw back is his lack of low attacks which is one similarity he holds with Hilde who has few lows and hardly any tracking moves. Too bad, too, I had high hopes for Hilde.
Here's something I hope they fix. At least it'll be banned in tourneys.

Xianghua had an insane advantage in SC3 with her 66AB. That single move almost managed to break the entire game, and with the VC bug it helped make the console version unworthy of the SC2 pros' attention. I suppose (though I'm not entirely sure of that) they nerfed that move in the Arcade Edition of SC3, since I saw a couple of Xianghuas in SBO 07 and they didn't abuse it nearly enough.
I haven't watched any gameplay videos of her, but I want to believe they dropped that move from her list in SC4. Though since now we have the possibility of directly applying patches to the game, I have hope for more and more balanced fighters in the future.

Got it yesterday, and didn't get a chance to play until today. I'm a complete noob at it, but it is a lot of fun. Just need to learn to play it properly now. Haven't played with all the characters yet, I really seem drawn to the small fast characters like Scheherazade. I played the game through with her when I unlocked her, and finished all but one fight Perfect (was on Normal though, I'm imagining against Hard or other people I'd get my ass handed to me). I like Hilde though, she seems like she could put up a good fight somewhat quick close attacks and long slower far reaching attacks.
Still lot of fun, got a lot to learn with special techniques though and proper attacks.

Got in a good 4 hour session at my mates place last night, probably spent 50+ hours versus him in each previous installment of Soul Calibur as well as Soul Blade/Edge. Atm it's my fav installment of the series since the original Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast. Has anyone got any tier lists?

I started playing this game on the PS3 a few days ago and it's really fun. Though I haven't tried playing online yet as I spent 95% of my time going through ToLS. Right now I'm stuck at 45-46F and can't really think of a way of getting passed it. My main (and only) character is Cassandra (have been using only her since SC3) and no matter what I do, I just couldn't beat the first guy in 46F.
I might give online a try tonight and hope that the lag wouldn't be too bad.

Just so you know, I trust these guys much more than I would trust a random guy on the opener day. Given how the majority of players regard fighting games nowadays, the possibility of the latter being mere scrub remarks without too much investigation behind them (and thus, without any kind of value at all) are pretty high.
To give you a stupid example, most scrubs would put Eddie from Guilty Gear at the last spot in the tier list, when he's actually at the top.

I'm wondering though...
How is it that you can block Yoda and Vader and the Apprentice? I mean they're BEAM swords FFS...wouldn't they just cut *through* anything aside from any enchanted weaponry (Taki's swords/Soul Calibur/etc...)?
Too bad we have no war3 demon hunter in this game.

And btw anyone can join that forum and make some bs about stuff.
Apprentice in my mind has potential but we will need a few months to see more of the game to make further substantial judgement.
I stop playing guilty gear competitively after the dreamcast version since they nerfed one of my favorite charactor johnny but potemkin owns that game.
Lets hope blueblaz is online.

NetApp heads in same direction. Only faster
Array into the future
Like Mercedes spending €10m (£8.6m) to develop a new C-class that looks pretty much like the old one, NetApp is making a large announcement about the fact that its arrays can do more of the same, only faster and more simply.
NetApp wants to head faster into the cloud and virtualised data centres and has revved its mid-range and high-end controllers, added news SAS disk and solid state drives, improved its management and software licensing and crafted a pre-configured vBlock-like FlexPod for VMware with Cisco and VMware.
These things and their speeds and feeds are covered in individual stories. The overall story is that NetApp isn't introducing new hardware architectures or revolutionary software. Instead it is sticking to its unified storage architecture knitting and producing better and more capable products.
The NetApp view is that its competitors need multiple products and hardware designs to cover the same ground as its FAS 2000, 3200 and 6200 arrays and software offering Fibre Channel and iSCSI block storage and network-attached storage from the same product set.
It says its customers, like SAP, benefit from having a single NetApp storage environment to manage instead of the multiple products needed to span the same application areas from EMC, HDS, HP and IBM. CIOs want to support multiple workloads and customer groups from a single IT infrastructure composed of integrated servers, networks and storage, a flexible and shared infrastructure. SAP supports this point of view.
NetApp's first product step on that road is the FlexPod for VMware, a pre-configured stack product using Cisco UCS servers with VMware, the Nexus 5000 switch and its FAS3200 arrays. There are bound to be more. Like EMC, NetApp says integrated stacks need best-of-breed storage products and EMC partner Cisco and EMC subsidiary VMware have recognised the strength of NetApp's market position and joined with it to create the FlexPod.
NetApp's announcement should resonate well with its customers, though some might wish it was going further, faster, with its tiered storage. Overall, the company has been growing sales fast over the past year, due to its virtualisation strengths, and has now strengthened its hand in the integrated cloud data poker game, and wants to grow even faster.
EMEA boss Andreas Konig reckons it can be number one in the storage and data management market in Europe by 2012; it already is in Germany. That means its sights are still fixed on the old enemy, EMC, which is number one in Europe. If it does this, Konig says, then the world number one position will be well in sight, and why not? ®

This is a fine product at a competitive price. Installation was easy and straight forward. The car is definitely peppier and there is a slight noise increase under the hood with hard acceleration. The cold air intake on my 2007 explorer V8 produces a lot more noise under the hood. Those looking for a louder car will probably be dissapointed. I was really just looking for a 1-3 mpg increase and think it will be there if I can lighten my lead foot! This is my 3rd cold air intake from Auto Anything!

I tend to not want to eat anything when it is cold and windy, and for the most part, wait until I am back at the car. The food I bring tastes horrible, like it morphs into something different in the cold alpine. I need to change this though, I know, for obvious reasons regarding energy, but for also simply enjoying the adventure more.
What do you bring to eat and drink for winter alpine hikes/climbs?

text: Rachel Uchitel's most recent appearance in the gossip rumor mill might have disappeared mostly unnoticed if it weren't for Tiger Woods' accident outside his Windermere, Fla., home. Two days before Woods crashed his SUV into a fire hydrant and tree at 2:25 a.m., The National Enquirer tabloid printed a story alleging Woods was having an affair with Uchitel, a New York City night club hostess. Both Uchitel and Woods have reportedly denied the affair. It wasn't Uchitel's first appearance in the public eye. According to Newsday, her photos were taken after the attacks on the World Trade Center in Sept. 11, 2001, as she searched for her fiancé, James Andrew O'Grady, a managing director of the financial firm Sandler O'Neill & Partners, who died on the 104th floor of the South Tower according to the news report. Uchitel, 34, later married an old friend, a stock trader who reportedly survived the Sept. 11 attacks, and the pair divorced four months later. According to the United Kingdom's Daily Telegraph, Uchitel then moved to Las Vegas to become a hostess at the night club Tao. She moved back to New York City in 2008.

Amy Lee on the New Evanescence Album: 'It Rocks' [VIDEO]
It's been four years since Evanescence had a new album for their fans, but the wait is almost over — and singer Amy Lee has dropped a few hints as to what we can expect.
MTV dropped in on Lee at her Nashville studio recently, and they discussed the new, self-titled album — scheduled for an October 11 release — as well as its lead single, 'What You Want.' According to Lee, the writing process is much more natural this time around.
"I need to remember this, so I can apply it in the future," said Lee, recalling that "It wasn't trying so hard to be some epic, massive chorus. I was just doodling around on the piano and the guys were like, 'Do that. Whatever you just did, that's an awesome melody.' And I was like, 'Really?' Sometimes you just need your friends to be like, 'Do that!'"
When asked about the new album, Lee said simply, "It rocks," adding, "Not that there's nothing going on that does, but less and less; that's definitely not what's dominating the airwaves. And it would be so amazing and it's totally our dream to have that happen for us; not even just for us, but, like, we want to hear rock music again."
