HP forges Netweaver XML appliance
Making SAP sit up and bark faster
German software giant SAP is hosting its annual Sapphire user and partner conference this week in Orlando, Florida, and all the majors in the IT community (many of who use SAP to run their own businesses) want to get a little piece of the PR action. In the case of Hewlett-Packard, Sapphire is all about promoting its expertise in boosting the performance of SAP's ERP suites.
This morning at the show, HP is previewing a server appliance called the XML Accelerator that will make its debut underneath SAP's ERP suites. It will almost certainly eventually make its way into the guts of other ERP programs from Oracle, Microsoft, and others who use XML documents. They all have to convert data flying into and out of their ERP systems from one XML variant to another, as the systems accept data into their ERP databases and kick out Web pages, reports, and other documents.
This XML transformation process, as it turns out, eats up a lot of CPU capacity on central systems. HP is taking the prudent tactic (at least in the long run) of creating an appliance that will do the XML transformation behind SAP's Netweaver Process Integration (PI) and reduce latencies on these transformations.
According to Jeff Medaugh, worldwide marketing manager at HP's Business Critical Systems division, the first iteration of the XML Appliance is based on a ProLiant DL580, which is a quad-socket Xeon server, not an Itanium box. This machine is equipped with Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 operating system, with the Netweaver software loaded on top of it. The server also includes a Tarari content processor board from LSI, and is then networked to the SAP ERP system, which is told to point to the appliance for Netweaver calls.
The exact model of the Tarari board that HP is using, and the number of the boards in the machine, is not clear, but you can read more about the boards here. The co-processors can be used for a number of different jobs, including intrusion detection and prevention, virus and spam filtering, firewall and security gateways, and XML processing. Medaugh says that HP is using the PCI-Express version of the Tarari card in the appliance, which comes in an XML-only flavor known as the LCPX 85XX.
LSI shelled out $85m to buy Tarari in September 2007 in the hopes that these specialized Tarari boards would be used inside various kinds of servers and appliances. But LSI is still best known as a maker of chips used in disk controllers, as well as controllers and whitebox arrays, and is still investing in that business. On April 21, for instance, LSI acquired the 3ware RAID adapter business from Applied Micro Circuits Corporation. LSI's president and chief executive officer is none other than Abhi Talwalkar, who used to be co-manager of Intel's Digital Enterprise Group with Pat Gelsinger.
Medaugh estimates that about half of SAP's ERP shops use the company's Netweaver middleware, which bangs on the XML transformations pretty hard. At one big corporate account (which he could not name), the customer has 450 XML links between various parts of the SAP suite and they project that the links will grow to 750 by 2011.
This creates a huge bottleneck in overall application performance, particularly among companies with large and complex supply chains where XML is commonly used as a means for data interchange. The XML Appliance that HP has created and tested in SAP's laboratories in Walldorf, Germany has demonstrated that it can reduce latencies on the XML transformations inside of Netweaver by a factor of seven and can boost Netweaver throughput by a factor of four.
Which is why HP is hoping that customers will shell out a whopping $250,000 to get their hands on the XML Appliance when it starts shipping at the end of July. That said, it seems just as likely that some companies will buy a DL580 and a SUSE Linux license and try to get their hands on a Tarari board and see what they can do for a lot less money.
Medaugh says that HP expects for customers to buy at least two of these XML Appliance boxes and cluster them for high availability. He adds that if customers need to do more XML processing than this machine can handle, the appliances can also be clustered for throughput. HP expects to put out smaller variants of the appliance later, for customers who don't need as much XML transformation and who don't have the large budgets that HP is chasing with its initial version.
It is reasonable to expect that other tier one server vendors will try to make their own XML appliances if this idea takes off. IBM sold DataPower XML appliances even before it acquired the company in October 2005, and allows for XML acceleration on its specialized zIIP mainframe engines. But just because an XML appliance can accelerate XML processing, it does not mean it has been tuned to do the XML transformation associated with Netweaver or any other ERP suite and its related middleware.
HP has been working on these tunings for the past year and a half, and that gives it something of a head start in terms of the SAP suites. But there is no way - and particularly at the prices that HP thinks it can charge - that this is a sustainable advantage. ®

|Deborah Krasner's original kitchen was based on an outmoded design scheme. The sink, stove, and refrigerator were arranged in a tight triangle, which made it difficult for more than one person to work at a time. Plus, the walk-in pantry wasted valuable square footage that could be better used as prep space.
|Eliminating the pantry and rearranging appliances enabled Krasner to establish four distinct zones, a concept inspired by the specialized stations she found in restaurant kitchens. Each zone handles a specific set of tasks and incorporates all of the necessary appliances, work surfaces, storage, and supplies.
|The Four Zones:
|HOT (cooktop, double oven)
|COLD (refrigerator, pullout pantry)

Regensburger Ordnung
Regensburger Ordnung (Constitutio), a set of regulations passed at Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany on 7 July 1524, at a conference of twelve South German Catholic bishops or their representatives, with Cardinal Legate Campeggi as chairman, in the presence of Archduke Ferdinand (see Ferdinand I) as well as the dukes of Bavaria. The rulers of the South German states countered the stormy progress of the Reformation in Middle and South Germany by a staunch adherence to Catholicism. It was especially the Wittelsbach family in Bavaria who organized a union of the South German princes in 1523 to present a united front against the ecclesiastical innovations. Cardinal Campeggi was successful in eliminating the greatest obstacle, viz., the jealousy between the Hapsburgs and the Wittelsbachs. He gathered the South German estates about him at Regensburg in June 1524, and there in July the principles were laid down for the procedure in blocking the progress of the Reformation. The estates obligated themselves to carry out the Edict of Worms of 1521 and to oppose all changes in matters of faith and worship in their provinces, suppress the writings of the innovators, etc. The object of the Constitutio was, first of all, to bring about a reformation in the life of the clergy; for, as Campeggi said, the disorderly conduct of the clergy played no small part in the rise of heresies. It was decided to institute commissions composed of clergymen and laymen to investigate the life of the parishes and to remove abuses. It was of great significance for the Catholic Church in South Germany.
In Austria, especially in Lower Austria, the spread of the Anabaptists in 1528 was the immediate occasion for the passing of regulations similar to the Regensburger Ordnung there. On 16 January 1528, King Ferdinand issued to all bishops, prelates, etc., who had authority in spiritual matters a mandate to this effect, which was to be read from the pulpits at specified times. A commission was organized to visit all parishes in Upper Austria; it reported to the king on 27 June 1528.

Carolyn Rosenstein, a retired McDonogh School reading specialist recalled as a nurturing faculty mentor who also served on the Women's Board of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, died of cancer Oct. 27 at her Pikesville home. She was 75.
"She was a great gal, very irreverent. She called it just as she saw it," said Barbara Dover, a fellow member of the Hopkins' Women's Board. "She did it with a smile and a chuckle."
Born Carolyn Stein in Jersey City, N.J., and raised in Teaneck, N.J., she was a Teaneck High School graduate. She earned a degree in education at Boston University, where she met her future husband, Dr. Beryl Rosenstein, a Johns Hopkins School of Medicine professor of pediatrics and former vice president of medical affairs. She later received a master's degree from the Johns Hopkins University.
She and her husband moved to Baltimore in 1961. From 1977 to 1997, she was on the McDonogh School faculty and headed its middle school reading program. She also taught study skills and prepared students for an annual oratory contest.
"She cared about every single kid and monitored the new teachers. She had a way of taking people under her wing," said Kennedy Waller, a Westminster resident who heads the McDonogh Middle School math program.
Nancy McFadden, a fifth-grade McDonogh English teacher, recalled Mrs. Rosenstein as an excellent, respected educator.
"She was full of wisdom beyond words," said Ms. McFadden, who lives in Reisterstown. "She was one of the grandest ladies I have ever known. She had grace and intelligence. She was always looking after everyone but she would do it from behind a curtain. She did this so that others could have the success or the achievement. Because of her own strengths, she became a backbone for so many people she was breaking in."
Ms. McFadden said that Mrs. Rosenstein offered encouragement and often said, "Don't look back, baby."
She said that her colleague did not show anger.
"She would just be perturbed in her way. She was articulate and had high standards but she was aware of the children and what they needed personally," she said.
Diane Young, a McDonogh English teacher, recalled advice that Mrs. Rosenstein gave her: "You had better teach it by May 1 because after that, the kids have checked out."
She recalled her mentor as a flamboyant, expressive and colorful personality. "She was a colossal hostess and always kept in lasting touch with her friends," she said.
She was a devotee of New York theater and favored musicals. She was also a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra subscriber. She visited contemporary art galleries and was a member of the Museum of Modern Art. Her husband said she enjoyed travel and had been to 52 countries and every continent except Antarctica.
She was a competitive tennis player and competed in doubles at the Homeland Tennis Club. She also enjoyed golf.
"She liked to play tennis on a grass court," said Ms. Young. "She was a ferocious competitor and was wicked at the net. She liked to win."
As part of her work with the Hopkins Hospital Women's Board, she greeted donors who brought clothing contributions to the annual best dressed sale.
"She knew so many people," said Mrs. Dover, her fellow board member. "And when she ran our education and program committee, she also knew so many people at Hopkins she could call upon to speak."
Mona Miller, a Hunt Valley resident who also served with Mrs. Rosenstein on the Hopkins board, recalled her as a gracious woman who was attentive to details.
"At events she was overseeing, everything was lined up," Mrs. Miller said.
Mrs. Rosenstein was a member of the Beth El Congregation.
Services will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday at Sol Levinson & Bros., 8900 Reisterstown Road, Pikesville.
In addition to her husband of 54 years, survivors include a son, Jonathan Rosenstein of Rye, N.Y.; a daughter, Susan Slabotsky of Bloomfield Hills, Mich.; and seven grandchildren.

After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.

The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen carries over to this model year with a few changes to its options list. Based on the Volkswagen Golf rather than the newly redesigned Jetta, the Jetta SportWagen gets a new Sunroof package, which includes a massive panoramic sunroof and 17-inch alloy wheels, and a new Sunroof and Navigation package, which adds a navigation system to the aforementioned Sunroof package.
The Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is available in three trim levels with three transmission choices and two engines. The Jetta SportWagen is available in S, SE and TDI trims. The base engine for the Jetta SportWagen S and SE is a 170-hp 2.5-liter I-5. On the SportWagen S, the standard transmission is a five-speed manual, while a six-speed manual is standard on the SportWagen SE. A six-speed automatic is optional on both. The Jetta SportWagen TDI is powered by VW's much-loved 2.0-liter turbodiesel I-4, which produces 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a quick-shifting six-speed dual-clutch automatic is optional.
The Jetta SportWagen features a decidedly upscale interior compared to the standard Jetta Sedan, with more soft-touch plastics and other features buyers would expect from a Volkswagen. The Jetta SportWagen is capable of seating five and can haul 32.8 cubic feet worth of cargo.
Body style: Wagon
Engines: 2.5L I-5, 2.0L turbodiesel I-4
Transmissions: 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 6-speed automatic, 6-speed dual-clutch automatic
Models: Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen S, Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen SE, Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen TDI
There are only minor changes in store for the Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen for the 2012 model year. For 2012 Volkswagen has tweaked the Jetta SportWagen's option list. The SportWagen gets a new Sunroof package, which includes a massive panoramic sunroof that tilts and slides, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The Jetta SportWagen also gets a new Sunroof and Navigation package. The Sunroof and Navigation package adds a GPS navigation system in with the aforementioned Sunroof package.
The Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen looks like a stretched Golf hatchback, and that's because it is. The Jetta SportWagen shares its headlights and twin-blade grille with the Golf. As a station wagon, the Jetta SportWagen gets a factory roof rack standard. The Jetta SportWagen's trims are differentiated visually by the side window trim; the SportWagen S has black trim surrounding the side windows, while the SE and TDI get chrome trim in the same location.
The Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen features a roomy cabin. The Jetta SportWagen features seating for up to five passengers, and has enough cargo space with the rear seats up to hold 32.8 cubic feet of stuff. With the 60/40 split rear seats folded flat, the Jetta SportWagen's cargo space balloons to 66.9 cubic feet. The Jetta SportWagen also features a more upscale interior than the standard Jetta. The 2012 Jetta SportWagen has more soft-touch plastics, and features brushed aluminum, and silver trim throughout the cabin.
The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen is powered by a gasoline 170-hp 2.5-liter I-5, which produces 177 lb-ft of torque, or a torquey turbodiesel 2.0-liter I-4 with 140 hp and 236 lb-ft of torque. The 2.5-liter I-5 is available with a five-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. The SportWagen TDI is available with a six-speed manual or a six-speed dual-clutch automatic. For buyers interested in fuel economy, the diesel-powered Jetta SportWagen should be the Volkswagen of choice; it's capable of an EPA-estimated 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway with the manual transmission, and 29 mpg city/39 mpg highway with the dual-clutch auto.
The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen comes standard with front, and front side passenger airbags, as well as side curtain airbags front and rear. The Jetta SportWagen also comes standard with traction control, electronic stability control, and anti-lock brakes. The Jetta SportWagen features Volkswagen's Intelligent Crash Response System. The Intelligent Crash Response System automatically shuts off the engine's fuel pump, unlocks the door, and switches on the SportWagen's hazards in the event of a serious accident.
Jetta SportWagen S: 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway (manual); 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway (automatic)
Jetta SportWagen SE: 22 mpg city/33 mpg highway (manual); 24 mpg city/31 mpg highway (automatic)
Jetta SportWagen TDI: 30 mpg city/42 mpg highway (manual); 29 mpg city/39 mpg highway (dual-clutch auto)

The Silent Type: Everything but passion
The Richmond-based band The Silent Type contains among its ranks a former member of defunct local heroes Excitebike, singer/guitarist Nathan Altrice. Excitebike was, until its untimely breakup in 2001, renowned for its tight "Emo-core" sound, especially the group's twin guitar/dual vocal mode of presentation.
Of course, by having been in a much loved band, Altrice has set up his new group for unavoidable comparisons— by those who've had the good fortune to hear either band. Old-time music fan Emmet Boaz is not among them. "I've never heard of The Silent Type. If it ain't acoustic, I don't do it," he says.
The Silent Type's soon-to-be-released EP, 7 Songs, is actually one of the better CD's I've received this year, but some say Excitebike was it, and at least the fraction of that whole which formed The Silent Type did not head off in the right direction. I'm going to attempt to take out the "but" from this review, and merely concentrate on what is: the group's aforementioned EP, of which an unmastered copy appeared in my box.
The EP begins with the quick 3/4 time jaunt, "Alarms," which follows the time honored song-writing tradition of starting off soft and spacey and slowly building to a fairly noisy climax. Long sustained electric guitar chords fill in the spaces between the staccato, mostly two-chord, acoustic musings, in a mildly early Pink Floyd fashion.
Altrice has a vocal style that would probably be best described as a cross between a non-whiny Thom Yorke from Radiohead and one of the singers from that great band's many imitators-– Coldplay, Travis, etc. (who basically sound like non-whiny Thom Yorkes anyway).
Track 2, "One Last Bedtime Story," recounts the night-time fantasies of a young boy as he explores the shadowy world of his room, where "his clothes are all goblins," and a "chair is a castle"– this is nostalgia for childhood of the best possible kind. Instrumentally, the song also is a nice piece of work, with the xylophone of the verses at least subconsciously suggesting times of youth, and nicely layered electric guitars infecting the choruses. This track is by far the highlight of the EP, melodically as well as lyrically– no question about it.
From there the EP makes the decision to take things easy-– shifting into low gear and slow-rocking, Goo Goo Dolls style. I'm not sure the group made the best decision with the track order of this CD, putting the two fastest songs first, followed by five others that range the gamut of slow to pretty damn slow, but I suspect that the order has not been finalized.
Leaving out The Silent Type's big "but," and looking at the group's new EP from merely a critical standpoint, I'd have to say that the songs on 7 songs are more or less average examples of lo-key indie rock that generally don't leave much of an impression on you after you've listened to them.
Perhaps in this case, Altrice might want to pay some attention to the "but"-sayers and add a bit of what made Excitebike so great. Passion, perhaps?
Jamson Mason and The Silent Type perform at Twisted Branch Tea Bazaar Friday, July 11. No cover, 9pm.

This has great flavor and the little bit of icing makes it perfect. Mine was a bit dry but I think I cooked them a few minutes too long.
Feb 21, 2012
Good cupcakes - I like the fact that they don't contain a lot of fat, they're nicely spiced, and they're also very easy and quick to make. I never got around to getting the drizzles of frosting on them, which would make them seem more like a dessert. To me, they seemed like muffins. I enjoyed having one with my cup of tea in the morning. I had some dried cherries to use up, so I substituted them for the cranberries...yum!

The World Gurning Championship - Egremont Crab Fair (3 of 46).jpg
Gurning contests are a rural English tradition. By far the most notable is that held annually at the Egremont Crab Fair, which dates back to 1267 when King Henry III granted the fair a Royal Charter.The origins of the gurning competition itself are unclear, and may not be so old, although it was described as an ancient tradition by local newspaper the Cumberland Paquet in 1852..The competitions are held regularly in some villages, with contestants traditionally framing their faces through a horse collar -- known as "gurnin' through a braffin'."The World Gurning Championship takes place annually at the same crab fair in Egremont, Cumbria. Those with the greatest gurn capabilities are often those with no teeth, as this provides greater room to move the jaw further up. In some cases, the elderly or otherwise toothless can be capable of spectacular gurns covering the entire nose.

Art in the Green: "Fish & Crushed Can Story"
Tuesday, April 23 – Monday, July 22
Queens Botanical Garden is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition on Tuesday, April 23 in the Gallery of the Visitor & Administration Building: "Fish & Crushed Can Story" a series of prints, mixed-media artworks and artist books by Iandry Randriamandroso.
Background Information
The exhibit was created from discarded, crushed aluminum cans found on the streets, cardboard and burlap from a local grocery, along with wordless hand-made books about a fish and a crushed can. The story illustrates how growth is disrupted by invasive species. The fish represents nature and growth, and the crushed can represents the invasive species. The progressive illustrations are created from a crushed can imprint and a seabass drawing, and repetition is used to compose and to design each page to tell the story.
The artist created this series of work as a reflection and acknowledgement of himself, as being part of the cause of some environmental problems, and at the same time, acting as a co-creator in developing some creative solutions to the problems. Visitors will be invited to create their own art at an interactive print-making station that will remain in the Gallery for the duration of the exhibition.
"Individual effort is important in achieving a common goal. I found that in light of the environmental problems that we are facing today, an individual decision to bring about change is more important."
Iandry Randriamandroso.
About the Artist
Originally from Madagascar, Mr. Randriamandroso, who goes by "Iandry", is a Graphic and Community Artist who lives in New York City. Iandry specializes in graphic and mixed media art-making that focuses on environmental and social subjects.
His goal is to create art that is inclusive and accessible to everyone. Audiences are directly engaged through participatory lectures, design workshops and art classes, forums he has developed through his personal art practice and years of exhibition history. His group projects involve people of varying ages and cultural backgrounds that come together through innovative projects in libraries, community centers, schools/universities, churches, museums and galleries. He uses his artworks as educational tools to facilitate inclusive and hands-on presentations, community arts workshops, art classes and mural projects in public and private venues around the US.
As part of his tenure at QBG, Iandry will be holding community art projects, open to all ages, at QBG's April 28th Arbor Festival as well as the June 23rd Summer Solstice Celebration.
"I create Art which is a visual language that can connect people from different cultures and backgrounds. An art that encourages people to express themselves, and helps build an understanding between people that can break cultural barriers."
"Fish & Crushed Can Story" is ongoing through July 22, 2013. For more information about this exhibit or Queens Botanical Garden, please contact Darcy Hector at (718) 886-3800, ext. 330, or email@example.com.
Queens Botanical Garden is a World Policy Insitute venue partner on the 12×12 Project. A 12×12 pavilion will be installed at QBG this July.

The panelists reiterated the relevant discoveries that were new in 2004: growing organs in another location of recipient's own body (whether human or animal) -- while those discoveries weren't about growing a robot from biological cells, that could potentially be a potential future use. Modeling robots after roaches, rats, or other small animals that can pass through narrow spaces -- for example, to lay computer cables. Attaching sensors to a swarm of very small, fast, disposable robots the size of a grain of rice. What the state of artificial intelligence looked like in 2004, years before the significant advances made by neural nets -- not very promising. Our panelists thought that since our brain is wet and analog, we won't be able to simulate it in digital systems. Researchers are inspired to generate power from biological sources, because batteries running out are a common problem with robots, whereas a human body can do a whole lot on just a peanut butter sandwich.

SKF launches new rolling bearings in paper machines handbook
2016 April 20, 14:00 CET
SKF introduces the fifth edition of its dedicated technical handbook for paper machine designers, operators and maintenance staff.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 20 April 2016: SKF has launched a new version of its specialist handbook for rolling bearings in paper machines to help industry professionals maximise bearing service life. Now in its fifth edition, the technical manual has been developed to provide an invaluable wealth of information and advice for those working with paper machines, from designers and operators to maintenance staff.
This latest edition of the handbook includes up-to-date information according to advances in SKF bearing design and performance, and offers guidance on application-specific bearing selection, for everything from the forming section to the reeler, in line with the changes in bearing dynamic load ratings in recent years. Created by bearing experts and product specialists, it also contains recommendations for arrangement, mounting, maintenance and lubrication procedures to boost efficiency still further.
"Our rolling bearings in paper machines handbooks have been helping industry professionals to maximise bearing life through optimised mounting, maintenance and lubrication procedures since the first edition was published in 1964," explained Philippe Gachet, Senior Technical Consultant at SKF. "Now in its fifth edition, it has been updated with the latest paper mill and bearing design developments in mind to continue to deliver best practice and market leading advice to the sector."
The 270-page hardback publication features important changes from the last handbook, which was published in 2011, and contains new sections on critical matters for mill staff, such as root cause failure analysis and bearing remanufacturing. The handbook offers updated and proven advice on recommendations for bearing fits and lubricant maximum water content, while new material ensures there is information on applications not covered in previous editions of the handbook, including size presses, spreader rolls and rope sheaves, for example.
Other additions include an equation for reeler bearing load calculations and information on the SensorMount method for mounting bearings with tapered bores to ensure optimum performance when using the latest innovations in paper industry and SKF technologies. It is also more end user focused than ever before.
The rolling bearings in paper machines handbook is available in English either from SKF sales units or as a download from the online Knowledge Centre library here.

William Woods University is offering La Plata area residents the opportunity to pursue a master of business administration (MBA) degree without quitting work.
The program will begin with an orientation on Oct. 27 at 6 p.m. at La Plata High School, La Plata, Mo.
Prospective students are encouraged to contact the university's Graduate and Professional Studies program prior to then, but walk-ins will be accepted. Call 1-800-995-3199 or contact WWU by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.
These programs make it possible for people with full-time jobs to complete a baccalaureate or a graduate degree while remaining employed. The programs are designed to prepare students for career advancement and to enhance their marketability in the job market.
Kristen J. Fritschie of Mexico, Mo., completed her MBA in Columbia.
"WWU is the only program that works for the working adult. Whether you are working full time, have a family or just a hectic life, William Woods University ensures that you have a work-life balance while giving you a fabulous education," she said.
The MBA program is a 36-credit-hour program, designed to further prepare the working professional for a career in general management. Classroom activities of the entire curriculum are designed to provide the proper blend of theory and practice, thereby making for a true applications-oriented program. What is learned in class one evening may literally be applied to the real workforce the next day.
Employing a model of accelerated learning developed especially for the convenience of the working adult, these educational programs are structured so that a degree can be completed in as few as 18 months.
William Woods offers degree programs that utilize a cohort model, emphasizing learning through student-directed study groups of three to five students.
Fritschie had high praise for the cohorts. "They provide and teach teamwork and accountability," she said.
"Cohort" describes a group of people who collaborate to reach a common goal. WWU's program utilizes the diversity of the individual members to broaden the learning experience of the class as a whole as they work together. The school recognizes that learning can and does take place outside of the classroom and that theoretical knowledge is only useful if applied to real-life on-the-job situations.
Classes meet once a week in the evening for four hours. Study groups can meet once more to prepare projects and assignments before the upcoming week.
"With the teamwork approach of using study groups and projects within the cohort model, students can draw on a greater pool of ideas, and they have the opportunity to learn quickly that the effectiveness of one person can be greatly enhanced by utilizing the other members of the group," said Dr. Michael Westerfield, vice president of Graduate and Professional Studies.
Because of the nature of programming—focusing effort on one course at a time—90 percent of all students finish their program successfully. Each course normally runs five to 10 weeks in length.
"William Woods University is a leader when it comes to designing quality programs for nontraditional adult students. Everything we do here at WWU in our Graduate and Professional Studies program is specifically designed to help adults succeed in reaching their goals as efficiently as possible," said Westerfield.
In addition to the MBA, William Woods offers several other Graduate and Professional Studies programs, including the ACCESS program of general education, an associate of arts degree in liberal studies, a B.S. in management (BSM), a BSM with human resources emphasis and a B.S. in paralegal studies.
Graduate programs include MBAs with accounting, agribusiness, health management or human resources emphasis, a master of education (M.Ed.) in administration, curriculum/instruction or athletics/activities administration and a specialist of education (Ed.S.) in school administration or curriculum leadership.
William Woods can tailor any of its programs for a particular business or community. More information is available on the William Woods website at williamwoods.edu/GPS.

Cubs confident in Starlin with Baez in the wings
Club insists shortstop's job is safe as it develops well of advanced infield prospects
MESA, Ariz. -- When the Cubs held the ribbon-cutting ceremony for their vast, state-of-the-art Spring Training headquarters earlier this week, they placed five super-sized baseball cards on a blue wall beside the stage where team officials shared podium space with the state and local officials who helped keep them from fleeing the Cactus League.
The action photos showed some of the Cubs' best-known players, including Jeff Samardzija, Anthony Rizzo, Welington Castillo and Edwin Jackson. The last spot went to platoon third baseman Luis Valbuena.
Did someone forget Starlin Castro? No, his likeness is elsewhere in the complex, on another wall. But I wouldn't have been surprised if Castro had been overlooked, confronted with a tough-love motivational tactic upon his arrival to camp.
Castro, the holder of the biggest contract signed during the Theo Epstein era, is front and center in the third camp under Epstein and Jed Hoyer -- and first for manager Rick Renteria -- at Major League Baseball's newest Spring Training camp. He has seen incredible highs and lows in four seasons since replacing Ryan Theriot as the primary shortstop, yet he is still seen more for his future than his past.
"This is a tremendously gifted individual, who has obviously not played the way he is capable of playing," Renteria said Thursday. "We have to address certain things, but [first] we have to figure out what it is that is making him tick -- or not tick the way we want him to tick. ... Obviously things haven't gone well, for whatever reason. That's done. I'm sure he's coming into this camp with a fresh, new outlook just as everybody does in the spring."
Castro arrived in a flash as a 20-year-old, but his game, built around a 200-hit bat and an out-producing arm, has deteriorated just as quickly. Epstein and Renteria believe there are many reasons to feel good about the organization that has endured 197 losses in the last two seasons, in particular the depth of talent that will experience the plush clubhouse for the first time on Friday.
"I think we've made tremendous progress,'' Epstein said. "There's a real dichotomy between how the organization is perceived from the outside and how we look at it internally, what the morale is internally. We just finished two days of organizational meetings. There is a tremendous amount of talent in this organization.''
Epstein was speaking of Javier Baez and Kris Bryant, as well as Junior Lake, Arismendy Alcantara, Mike Olt and Christian Villanueva. All are advanced prospects who could soon create a major surplus in the infield, and the advance of Albert Almora, Jorge Soler and Matt Szczur could make it tough to continue moving infielders to the outfield, as the Cubs did with the 23-year-old Lake last year.
Castro has $49 million and six seasons left on the $60 million deal he signed late in 2012. How are you going to fit him, Baez (a shortstop who hit 37 homers in the middle Minors last year), Bryant (the 2013 first-round pick who is one of the top power-hitting prospects in the Minors) and a couple of the others onto a roster?
That's a question that will begin taking shape this spring. There are a variety of potentially attractive options, but they all start with Castro finding his footing after a season in which he had a .284 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, six caught-stealings on only 15 attempts, 22 errors and rough defensive metrics.
When Epstein references "tremendous progress,'' he is not speaking of his shortstop, who has regressed significantly. It can't have helped that Castro will soon be playing for his fourth manager and third hitting coach, nor that he's had some off-the-field issues, but he looked lost late in 2013.
There were no radical conclusions regarding Castro at the organizational meetings that Epstein mentioned. He'll continue to play shortstop exclusively while Baez adds to his limited experience at second and third base, as he did last spring.
"Castro's our shortstop,'' Hoyer said. "We have all the confidence in the world he'll remain our shortstop. I think he'll keep working hard, keep improving. He knows there's still growth there. But [because] he turns 24 in March, he has time on his side. He can certainly play shortstop. Javy can also play shortstop as well.''
Baez hit 20 of his 37 home runs in 54 games at Double-A Tennessee. He committed 44 errors, but given that he was only 20, that's not especially discouraging.
"He's got to cut down on the errors, but he understands that,'' Hoyer said. "There are a lot of really good shortstops in the big leagues who made errors in 'A' ball and Double-A. He actually fielded really well, played good defense for us at Tennessee last year … He'll be playing shortstop at Iowa, but we do have to expose him to other positions, so when he comes up here, that he has that ability. We see Starlin as our shortstop.''
Bryant, who is likely to open the season at Tennessee, is on track to be the long-term third baseman, although his size (6-foot-5, 215 pounds) contributes to speculation about a future move to right field. Alcantara, a speed/power player, reluctantly moved from short to second to accommodate Baez's arrival in Double-A last year and joins Baez among those threatening to displace Darwin Barney at second base. Olt, who must show he has overcome concussion-related issues, and Villanueva will get their opportunities at third base. Lake could see some time in the hot corner as well as in center and left field.
Castro was seen as an elite young shortstop when he signed his contract, a guy who could fall out of bed hitting .300. That guy would be a prime trade chip were he to reappear this spring. Castro will be a troublesome road block if he doesn't.
It's going to be fascinating to see these infielders bumping shoulders over the next month or so, if not longer. Castro-versus-Baez will be a good argument along the way, but it's the incumbent who has the contract and the responsibility that goes with it.

Woman, 98, fights to have Red Scare conviction tossed
A 98-year-old New Jersey woman found guilty of conspiracy in the run-up to the atomic spy trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg has asked a court to dismiss her conviction, saying documents released in the last decade show she was framed.
"I just want to end my life with a clear name," Miriam Moskowitz, of Washington Township, N.J., told the New York Post.
"I"m 98, and I don't want to depart this world with this thing hanging over me," she told the Wall Street Journal.
Moskowitz brought the legal action in Manhattan federal court Tuesday seeking to vacate her 1950 conviction on charges she conspired with two men to lie to a grand jury investigating allegations of atomic espionage. She was sentenced to two years in prison.
Her arrest was a front-page story in 1950 - "REDS SMASH ON IN FLANK ATTACK, Nab Man, Woman in Spy Plot," was the New York Daily News headline.
In court papers, Moskowitz said she was working on a book about her case in 2010 when she spotted conflicts between the trial testimony of a central figure in the case, Harry Gold, and statements he made to the FBI that were read to the grand jury.
Moskowitz's petition alleges that Gold changed his story after the government threatened him with the death penalty. She didn't testify at her trial, saying she refused to take the stand because she would have had to admit she was having an affair with a married man, Abraham Brothman, who was also convicted.
"Had the jury seen and heard this key evidence, no reasonable jury could have believed Gold's later testimony against Moskowitz," the papers say. "Without that recanted testimony, Ms. Moskowitz could never have been convicted."
The former teacher says the trial and its aftermath changed the course of her life.
"The effects of my conviction have had, and continue to have, profound effects," she said in the court papers. "For decades after my incarceration, I felt I had to avoid attention and keep a low social profile with new friends, and experienced shame in certain interactions within the community."
"I was portrayed as a monster, and I did nothing wrong," she told the Post, "and it affected my relationships, my entire life."
"I never married or had children," she claims in the court papers, "because, for decades after my conviction, I found it painful to reveal my past. After my release from prison, FBI agents repeatedly harassed me at my workplace, making it impossible for me to keep a job."
According to the Post, lawyer Roy Cohn, who gained fame during the McCarthy hearings established to root out American communists, was one of the prosecutors in Moskowitz's trial, calling it a "dry run" for the trial of the Rosenbergs, who were executed as communist spies.
The Rosenbergs were convicted of passing nuclear weapons secrets to the Soviet Union and were executed in 1953. Since then, decoded Soviet cables have appeared to confirm that Julius Rosenberg was a spy, but doubts have remained about Ethel Rosenberg's involvement.
In 1947, Brothman and Gold were questioned by the FBI about allegations they were involved in atomic espionage, the court papers said. Moskowitz then worked as Brothman's secretary and was having an affair with him.
Her lawyers say Gold repeatedly told the FBI that Moskowitz was unaware of Gold and Brothman's plan to lie before the grand jury until the government threatened him with the death penalty. They say he then cooperated and testified against Moskowitz at trial, saying she was there when they discussed their perjury plans.

The dispute about Macedonia's constitutional name goes back to the declaration of independence by the Republic of Macedonia in 1991.
Greece holds that the term Macedonia refers to the historical Kingdom of Macedon and that its use in a neighbouring country's name would usurp an essential part of exclusively "Greek" culture and heritage. It also contends that the use of the name Macedonia implies territorial ambitions on a northern Greek province that bears the same name. Loring M. Danforth, a professor of anthropology, describes the Greek perspective as follows:
"From the Greek nationalist perspective, then, the use of the name 'Macedonian' by the 'Slavs of Skopje' constitutes a 'felony', an 'act of plagiarism' against the Greek people. By calling themselves 'Macedonians' the Slavs are 'stealing' a Greek name; they are 'embezzling' Greek cultural heritage; they are 'falsifying' Greek history. As Evangelos Kofos, a historian employed by the Greek Foreign Ministry told a foreign reporter, 'It is as if a robber came into my house and stole my most precious jewels – my history, my culture, my identity' (The Boston Globe Jan. 5, 1993, p.9)."
(Loring M. Danforth "How can a Woman give birth to one Greek and one Macedonian?")
Following the Republic of Macedonia's declaration of independence in 1991, Greece's vigorous objections to the inclusion of the word "Macedonia" in the country's name delayed its recognition by the international community and its accession to the UN. A compromise formula, "the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" (FYROM), was devised as a provisional reference rather than an official name for the country. Macedonia joined the UN in April 1993 under this name. Other international organisations, such as the IMF and the World Bank, adopted the UN terminology, while many countries recognised the country as the FYR of Macedonia. Greece initially did not recognise the country at all, and imposed a trade embargo on Macedonia. The embargo, which lasted until 1995 was particularly damaging for the Macedonian economy; a landlocked country, it is dependent on access to Greek ports.
A 1995 Interim Accord, in which neither country is mentioned by name, led to a relative normalisation of relations. The Republic of Macedonia agreed to alter its flag, dropping the Vergina Sun, a symbol found among the tombs of the ancient kings of Macedon (and designated by the Greek Parliament in 1993 as an official national symbol). Macedonia also made amendments to its constitution, expressly denying any claims on Greek territory. Greece agreed not to block Macedonian accession to international organisations of which Greece was itself a member, provided that Macedonia would accede under the name of "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia" – and not its constitutional name. Greece has since become one of Macedonia's closest economic partners and the largest foreign investor in the country.
The name issue, however, has not been resolved so far, despite UN mediation. In recent years, Macedonian proposals have usually involved a "double name formula", whereby the country would be referred to by its constitutional name by the rest of the world while Greece would refer to it by another name. Greece rejected this idea and proposed a composite name such as Upper Macedonia or Macedonia-Skopje.
Reaching a consensus is made more difficult by public opinion in Greece and Macedonia. Those willing to make compromises have faced domestic criticism from hardliners. An opinion poll published in the Athens newspaper Kathimerini showed that 84 percent of Greeks supported a veto for Macedonia's NATO bid if the name dispute could not be resolved (IHT). Another poll in March 2008 showed that 83 percent of Macedonians said they were against changing the constitutional name in order to secure NATO membership (CRPM poll).
Over the last two years the debate has again heated up, with Greece hardening its stance. The renaming of Skopje airport after Alexander the Great in December 2006 did not help to foster Greek understanding for Macedonia's position.
In April 2008, Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski declared his frustration with the unchanging Greek position:
"Greece announced that if Macedonia does not change its name, there will be a veto during the NATO summit and Macedonia will not receive an invitation. Our citizens are a little bit frustrated because of this blackmail and are not ready to make additional changes. We are ready to discuss. We are ready to try to overcome the problem, but the citizens are not ready to completely change our name and to change our identity.
[…] We are aware that Greece can veto NATO membership. If they have power in NATO they have ten times more power in the EU, because in the EU there is the principle of solidarity… Foreign investors are coming, but I am fully aware that if this issue were resolved, there would be many more, there would be much less hesitation among investors, because [now]they are saying 'Oh, they have no support from Greece, so what will happen?' and so on."
While by now over 120 countries, including permanent UN Security Council members United States, China, and Russia have recognised Macedonia under its constitutional name, the row reached new heights at the April 2008 NATO Summit in Bucharest. Rejecting all proposals by the Macedonian government and UN mediator Matthew Nimetz – including the name "Republic of Macedonia (Skopje) –Greece vetoed Macedonia's accession to NATO. As Macedonia would also have agreed to accede as the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia", the Greek veto was nothing but a clear breach of the 1995 Interim Agreement.
The fallout from Bucharest not only led to early parliamentary elections, but also – given that Greece is not likely to change its position – began to bode badly for Macedonia's aspirations to start EU negotiations as soon as possible. Negotiations have resumed in July 2008.

For some people, finding the discipline to budget and save for retirement is the hardest part of amassing a nest egg. But for others, the challenge is one of financial literacy: They don't understand how financial and economic concepts like compounding, inflation and risk diversification affect the performance of their investments. Folks in this group may save a lot, but they don't necessarily save well.
In a column this week, MarketWatch's Robert Powell talked with academics and researchers who have been designing a financial-education program called Five Steps. The program aims to coach adults on some of the basics of assembling a sound retirement portfolio
As part of their research, the designers have put together a baseline financial-literacy quiz. MarketWatch readers, who we like to think are above average in their financial sophistication, probably won't be surprised to learn that their fellow citizens haven't scored so well on the test. Below, we've adapted six questions from the educators' test; to take the full-length version of the test, click here.

Alumnus ensures 2013 U.S. Open goes off without a hitch
Alumnus ensures 2013 U.S. Open goes off without a hitch
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — As did most fledgling golfers in the mid-1990s, Penn State alumnus Sean Palmer grew up admiring Tiger Woods, one of the most successful golfers in the history of the sport. So when, decades later, Woods arrived at the Merion Golf Club on the outskirts of Philadelphia to practice for the U.S. Open (set to take place at the club from June 13 to 16), Palmer — now a first assistant golf professional — was more than pleased.
"Working with Tiger was amazing," said Palmer, who in 2007 earned a bachelor's degree in the Penn State College of Health and Human Development's recreation, park, and tourism management program with the PGA Golf Management option. "It was a bit surreal at first to be in such close quarters with him, but after a while it felt like walking around with anyone else. I have tremendous respect for what he has accomplished as a golfer and his positive impact on the growth of the game."
In his position as first assistant golf professional, Palmer runs daily golf events at the Merion Golf Club, promotes the game of golf, teaches the game, administers golf shop merchandise and sales, plays in local professional tournaments and much more.
For the U.S. Open, he is responsible for scheduling the club's entire golf staff of 42 employees — including five assistant golf professionals, all of whom are Penn State PGA Golf Management program alumni — to help in different positions during the U.S. Open, the national championship for the United States Golf Association (USGA). Among their duties, the professionals (2006 graduate George Forster; 2010 graduates Matt Bird and Bill Ciccotti; 2011 graduate David Trude; and 2013 graduate Michael Ursomarso) are assigning golf cars to media, staff and committee members; registering players; working with players to set their practice-round tee times; managing shuttles to ensure players get to their starting locations on time; introducing players and their caddies to a course they may never have played before; working as starters on the first tee; announcing groups to patrons; and ensuring that groups start on time.
Graduates of Penn State's turfgrass programs — the largest turfgrass curriculum in the country — also have been busy overseeing the course. Matt Shaffer, alumnus of Penn State's Golf Course Turfgrass Management program, is the director of golf course operations at Merion Golf Club.
Palmer, who grew up in New Tripoli, Pa., said he would not have the opportunity to be involved in such an exciting event if it weren't for his degree from Penn State.
"Penn State's PGA Golf Management program is the best in the country, hands down," Palmer said. "It is by far the most professional and, in my opinion, does the most to groom young people to excel in our industry. This is how I got to where I am today, and it has snowballed into excellent opportunities with Penn Staters all along the way."
According to Burch Wilkes, director of the PGA Golf Management program, students in the program must complete five internships to help prepare them for their chosen career path in the golf industry as PGA professionals. The program's staff helps students connect with alumni to get those internships.
"Sean was a dedicated and motivated student at Penn State," said Wilkes. "As an alumnus, Sean inherited great responsibility this year and has grown as a leader with his staff of five other Penn State alumni. He is an outstanding representative of Penn State and the Merion Golf Club. We are very proud of him and the other Penn State alumni."
The U.S. Open began on Thursday, June 13. Palmer said the day was a bit hectic; he raced around, issued orders and smoothed out hiccups to ensure that the event ran smoothly. But come 1:14 p.m., when Tiger Woods prepared to tee off, Palmer was there watching and waiting for Woods to make history once again.

(CNN) - President Barack Obama recently discussed an upcoming spring visit to Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney confirmed Tuesday in the daily press briefing.
While overseas, Obama will also visit the West Bank and Jordan "to continue his close work with Palestinian Authority officials and Jordanian officials," Carney added.
Follow @politicalticker
The trip to Israel would mark Obama's first visit as president. While Obama traveled to the country in 2008 during his presidential campaign, he did not visit Israel during his first term.
Carney added "additional details, including dates of travel, will be released at a later time."
The president discussed the visit while on the phone with Netanyahu on January 28, shortly after the prime minister was re-elected for the third time in the country's elections last month.
"The start of the president's second term and the formation of a new Israeli government offer the opportunity to reaffirm the deep and enduring bonds between the United States and Israel and to discuss the way forward on a broad range of issues of mutual concern including of course Iran and Syria," Carney said.
Obama campaign aides said last summer that the president would make a trip to Israel should he win re-election.
Obama's not the first president to go to Israel only during his second term. President George W. Bush went to the country in both January and May of 2008, the last year of his presidency.
Meanwhile, former President Bill Clinton visited the country during his first term and former President Jimmy Carter traveled there during his first and only four years in office.
Former President Ronald Reagan did not visit the U.S. ally at all during his two terms.
- CNN's Ashley Killough, Gregory Wallace and Kevin Liptak contributed to this report.
Antichrist on the move!
Stick to your guns President Obama and don't let the Neocons have a war with Iran, a country of 80 million people. it is time for a Palestinian state. Israel get out of the occupied territories and East Jerusalem. Israel is losing the demographic war. There are over 6 million Palestinians in Israel and the occupied territories. Bush II promised a Palestinian state by 2005 and lied. The theocracy of Israel is doomed. Create a multi-national state, interfaith dialogue, inter-marriage between Jews and Christians and Palestinians. War is only death, destruction, disease, and horror.
PRAISE THE LORD "Ye are ALL ONE in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3: 27 ; Ephesians 2: 14-15)
Fair is Fair
I wonder if Bibi will ditch him for dinner like Obama did to him.
I don't recall that, but I do recall that the lovefest broke for the week after Bibi waved his fingered in Obama's face and then misrepresented Pres. Obama's position on negotiations. Yes, misrepresented. Netanyahu presented the same position to the US Congress a few days later to a standing ovation. It's been the same position that has been put forth since the 1967 War. No goiing back to pre-1967 borders as a starting point.
when he gets the treaty signed then we know he is the ac.
Weren't the tea partiers just complaining that President Obama hadn't visited Israel yet...now their complaining that he IS going to do so. Republicans/tea baggers make me sick...
And it only took 4 years to visit "a great ally". Nice!
With allies like Israel, who needs enemies? Really- what has Israel done for the U.S. recently that has assisted issues in the Middle East? Without U.S. aid they would likley cease to exist altogether.
Way to go Pres. You da man. Wonder what the haters and Repugtards / Tealibans are going to say now.
Hillary Cinton 2016
Truman got us into this mess... so now we must tow the line forever. Is there anyone out there who still believes US interests are actually at stake. I doubt it.
The US military is not at the disposal of Ben-Yahoo.
when he gets the treaty signed then we know he is the ac.
February 5, 2013 04:03 pm at 4:03 pm | for sure then
Any bet's he is only going to visit his Muslim brothers?
way to go mr president, visit the country on your terms.they need us we don;t need them, the only reason they still
in charge they is because of us and how do they say thank by syping on us who need friend like that.

The Warrior Lyrics
Oh SIN atra! We only live once but if you reap the second death, once is enough. Oh Shake! Speare! The valiant taste of death but once and cowards die many times before the day. Angels, sing to me a graceful song that I might taste of this with a smile. As far as I see, all I see are Pharisees, from the tyrant to the beggar. When Heaven comes to fill the sands of time like the hour glass, all that's left is emptiness. This is our chance. This is our time. This is our fight. This is the fifteen minutes we have to leave a legacy behind, so say something worthwhile. You're skin and bones but so much more.

Washington County 4-H Council members and leaders held a brief meeting after the baked potato bar Monday, November 12.
The main item of discussion was the price of the Leadership Development Conference to be held the end of January 2013 in Denver. The members approved that the amount in the budget would be used, and the remaining price would be evenly divided upon the members who decide to attend the conference.
The annual carnival will be Friday, April 5, 2013. Prizes for the raffle were also talked about, and these will be finalized by the end of December.
The potato bar was then discussed. There wasn't as big of a turn out as was expected, but the Council will make a profit. The silent auction went very well. Some of the reasons members and leaders thought why attendance was down were the weather and that it was a holiday. There were questions as to whether a dessert should be offered, and it was decided that next year a dessert will be included.
Comments from those who attended were positive. Everyone enjoyed the big baked potatoes and all the toppings. Those who wanted could also get hot dogs with a bun or a bowl of chili. Lenz Farms of Wray donated the potatoes. Everyone felt it went over very well, and this will become an annual fundraiser for council.
Meat Quality Assurance training will be held April 12. Council voted that all members who take a livestock project need to attend MQA training instead of doing activities for their record books. This means that any member in livestock needs to take this training every year.
There was no further business discussed. The next County Council meeting will be January 21, 2013.
4-H Council holds brief meeting after fundraiser
