That's a lot of greatness and tradition for a Bears franchise that is familiar with those concepts, even if it hasn't mastered them of late.Their exhibition opener at Fawcett Stadium offered a mixed bag of revival and rawness, ultimately ending with a 27-24 victory over the Miami Dolphins preserved by Jerrell Pippens' interception in the end zone with less than a minute to play.
Zack Abron's 4-yard touchdown run with 1 minute 50 seconds to play provided the winning points, disappointing the pro-Dolphins crowd of 22,292 in town to cheer Hall of Fame inductee Dan Marino.
Miami running back Ricky Williams' return to the NFL after a one-year retirement might've dominated the airwaves on the national telecast, but Rex Grossman's return to the air is what created the buzz back home.
Grossman, in his first action since tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last Sept. 26, didn't play like Marino. But he did direct one scoring drive in four possessions with the first-string offense and finished 5-for-12 for 77 yards and a quarterback rating of 63.5.
Those numbers included a nifty 34-yard connection with free-agent signee Muhsin Muhammad that set up Thomas Jones' 1-yard scoring plunge with 8:14 left in the first quarter, giving the Bears a 7-0 lead.
"My knee feels great and I didn't feel anything at all because our offensive line did a great job and I didn't get touched that much," Grossman said. "I had a little bit of the butterflies, but one of my goals was not to get antsy in the pocket. I thought I did that."
Ron Turner's offense got off to an inauspicious start when the starting unit went three-and-out on the game's opening possession.
But on the next drive, Bernard Berrian aided his attempt to secure the No. 2 receiver spot with a leaping catch that turned a third-down play into a 23-yard gain. Back-to-back Miami penalties, including a pass-interference flag on cornerback Sam Madison that kept the drive alive, led to Grossman finding Muhammad for a 34-yard gain to the Miami 1.
Muhammad, who later showed more athleticism by breaking up a Travares Tillman near-interception on a Grossman underthrow, froze Miami cornerback Reggie Howard with a hesitation move.
"I thought I scored on it," Muhammad said.
Berrian later dropped a catchable ball on a slant pattern that would've provided a first down on a third-and-7. But between Jones' 47 yards on 10 carries, Muhammad's sparkling debut and Grossman exiting with his health intact, optimism abounded on offense.
"We missed some big opportunities," Grossman said. "But we moved the ball decently. It was a good start."
The No. 1 defense surrendered just three points on five Miami possessions and featured sacks by Adewale Ogunleye and Brian Urlacher, the latter knocking starting A.J. Feeley out on the next-to-last snap of the first quarter.
Forced to step up in the pocket by pressure from Alex Brown, Feeley was buried by Urlacher and injured his left gluteus muscle. But the Bears' defense missed a chance for an even bigger play when linebacker Lance Briggs whiffed on a sack attempt that would've dropped backup quarterback Gus Frerotte for a safety.
Frerotte instead completed a 44-yard pass play to Chris Chambers despite pass interference by Nathan Vasher. With Jerry Azumah out following arthroscopic hip surgery, Vasher committed two pass-interference penalties, one of which was declined.
The second wasn't, costing the Bears 23 yards on a Frerotte attempt to Chambers that led to Olindo Mare's 33-yard field goal with 9:19 left in the second quarter.
"We played well against the run and did well in the eight-man front, but we have to get takeaways," Urlacher said.
Just as in last year's exhibition opener, penalties were a problem. The Bears committed 11 overall for 96 yards.
Miami went up 24-13 when linebacker Jason Glenn intercepted a badly throw ball by rookie Kyle Orton and returned it 26 yards with 10:30 remaining.
But Orton looked impressive overall, connecting with Carl Ford on a 43-yard scoring bomb with 7:23 left and connecting with rookie wideout Mark Bradley on back-to-back completions of 43 and 26 yards.
Bradley finished with five catches for a Hall of Fame Game-record 131 yards, posting one-half the total of 100-yard receiving games the Bears had all last season.
"Overall, I think our offense had good drives," coach Lovie Smith said. "We're pleased with that."

Anger. Resentment. Outrage. Jealousy. Accusations. Finger pointing.
We're hearing all that in the wake of Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer's declaration that her employees will no longer be allowed to work at home. But that outrage isn't all pointed at Mayer.
The discussion of working remotely has touched a deep, and for some of us, unexpected nerve among people who don't have the ability to do so. Call it the Great WAH Workplace Divide (with WAH standing for "work at home").
Yesterday, when I suggested that Mayer ought to reverse her policy, I was surprised by the vehemence of some of the comments on my story. A lively debate also broke out on my @mickimaynard Twitter stream, and it's being repeated across social media and in workplaces everywhere in the country.
From my reading of what people have been saying, these seem to be the two sides of the issue:
- Working at home isn't really work. You can only do that in an office.
- Working at home increases productivity. If you do it right, you get more done than in an office.
Let's take the "WAH isn't work" concept first, because it ties in most closely with what Mayer is getting at. Working at home, or from coffee shops or parks, seems by many in Silicon Valley to be a birthright. Facebook, after all, was invented in a college dorm room. The idea is that you don't need to sit in a cube to be creative -- in fact, innovation doesn't come from within an office. It thrives every place but there.
Judging by news stories and comments posted around the Web, some Yahoo employees had stretched that policy to the limits. Certainly, Yahoo's performance in recent years gives the impression that its work practices, if not its culture, needed a change. Mayer, as a new boss, most likely wondered, "Who actually works here?" And, one way to find out is to herd the troops back into the office with a sweeping "no WAH" policy.
But the WAH backlash isn't just at Yahoo. There seems to be a genuine feeling among some people in the workplace that a real job takes place in an office. These people argue true technology innovation comes when employees are co-located. You have to see the whites of everyone's eyes to know they're actually doing their jobs and get the most inventiveness from them.
Marketplace, the public radio program, started a Worst Telecommute Job hashtag on Twitter naming jobs that can't be done WAH. Among them: heart surgeon, dentist, OB/GYN, bus driver, nurse, waitress. It's true. For some positions, you simply have to be there. It's understandable, then, that people who work these kinds of jobs or those that require them to be in an office have trouble viewing WAH as real work, because it's not their kind of work.
Now, let's look at the idea that WAH actually feeds productivity. I'm raising my hand here, because I am far more productive working from home than I feel working in an office. Yes, I'm primarily a journalist, and it was a surprise yesterday to find that some of you feel this is "fluffy" work that doesn't compare with a real job. (If Forbes.com is "fluffy," why are you spending time away from your real job reading it?)
I heard from many other people who are not in my profession who would make the same argument: that WAH allows us the ability to concentrate, and to be creative, since we have to seek out fresh ideas. They don't simply walk into a conference room. Working parents who WAH find it makes them prioritize. They have limited hours to get their work done, because they get the kids up and dressed and off to school, then have to stop at a certain point because they'll be coming home.
Nobody who works remotely resists collaboration. In fact, modern technology has enabled teams based in many locations to work more closely than ever. Tools like conference bridges and Skype bring folks together from around the world. While Mayer may think it's important for Yahoo troops to be in one spot, the WAH contingent knows it's not necessary simply so that we can work with others.
WAH devotees also make more of an effort to get to know our colleagues. Whenever I'd visit the New York Times building in Manhattan, I'd make it a point to greet the people with whom I talked on the phone and conversed by email. One of my co-workers remarked, "You know more people here than I do." Well, I didn't have the ability to see them every day, and I wanted to put faces with names and email addresses.
WAH, for us, is effective. Some people would go nuts with WAH. A number of people want the structure of an office. Others want a strong boss like Mayer telling them, and their colleagues where they must be. It's completely understandable that these people would not be right for WAH on a daily basis.
But it doesn't mean WAH is not work. I was a little distressed yesterday by the comment from one boss who said that when his employees asked to WAH, he told them fine, as long as they'd accept a pay cut. That seemed counterintuitive, because it seems like the fewer employees onsite, the lower your overhead costs.
In any case, Mayer has set off a debate that is perhaps is overdue in American workplaces. Maybe some of the folks who feel chained to their desks now feel empowered to speak up about the possibility to WAH. And we who WAH are finding out that maybe we need to do a better job explaining the jobs we do.

Seriously. I mean, we rag on these politicians all the time for their social media gaffes, but does anyone really care? Does it matter to you, when it comes to actually punch your ballot, whether Romney's app misspelled America or Obama was a little loose with his volunteers' kinda private information?
At the end of the day, or come November, will it really even matter?

PC platformer/puzzler Trine has long been coming for the PS3, but never actually arrived. What's taking it so long?
Like Lando, Lauri Hyvärinen, CEO of developers Fronzenbyte, has told GameSetWatch that it's not his fault. It's not his fault! It's just something that happens when you leave a game with free-form physics in the hands of console Q&A testers.
With Trine, there have been a few small bugs that we had to fix, and the testing process itself has taken quite some time, as Trine isn't the easiest game to test due to the physics and unlimited gameplay possibilities. I think we are waiting for the PSN release just as much as gamers out there, it is our first console game after all and it's going to be very exciting to see it available on PSN… the wait is killing me too!
Killing you, killing them, killing me...well, not me, I've got it on PC. But I acknowledge there's killing being done, and that many aren't happy about it.

Pumpkin Spice Latte lovers are in luck — you can get the seasonal treat early this year.
As the pumpkin-spice-everything season is rapidly approaching, Starbucks is allowing fans to procure the autumnal beverage before its official release date on Sept. 8.
"Why wait?" Starbucks' website reads.
Customers can now obtain a PSL Fan Pass with the top secret password — you guessed it — "pumpkin."
After entering a cellphone number, the Pumpkin Spice Fairies will text the fan pass to purchase the popular beverage before its official roll-out.
U.S. & World
The PSL is Starbucks' "most popular seasonal beverage," according to the coffee chain's site.
This season, Starbucks is adding 2 percent real pumpkin to the latte. Its original ingredients were espresso, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove.
"After feedback from our customers and partners, this year Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte is crafted with real pumpkin, and is free of caramel coloring but with the same taste that customers have known and loved for over a decade," Starbucks wrote in a statement.

This beautiful blanket sat unfinished and crumpled in a forgotten corner of Joelle's craftroom for at least two years. One day it somehow got unearthed, poking itself out from under a pile of fabrics. Page, Molly and I were simultaneously riveted by the vision of this amazing blanket that we'd never seen. Molly demanded to know, "Where has this been?!" I reprimanded, "Why haven't you finished it?!" Page yelled, "Can I have it?!" Why didn't I think of that?
Joelle was less impressed with herself than we were with her. She just kind of shrugged and said that she'd gotten too busy to finish it (true, she is busy). So I offered/got enlisted to crochet the last round and to sew in the ends.
It was a pleasure to spend time in the mind of Joelle's color sense. To me it's a marvel how she dreamed up these colors. Soft grays and creams blur behind sharp bursts of vivid pinks and rich browns, all mingling together in beautiful rainbow magic.
It's a simple notion – a granny square that goes on and on and on – but because the pattern is so pleasantly meditative, the mind is free to just wander from one color to the next, creating beautifully symphonic color music. There's no better instrument for such composing than Koigu's KPM. The hand-dyed colors strike every note perfectly!
This blanket is 30 x 30-inches and takes at least seven skeins to make. Joelle used more skeins in order to use more colors. Here's what they are:
For this warm toned version (from top to bottom):
Koigu's Koigu Premium Merino (KPM) in colors #2389, #1303, #2360, #1111, #2231, #1411, #1135, #1110, #1209, #2180, and #1201
Here's another color idea if you want to explore cooler tones (from top to bottom):
Koigu's Koigu Premium Merino (KPM) in colors #2411, #2171, #2409, #2405, #2416, #2403, #2360, #0000, #1201, #2100, #2180, #1230
Remember that tracking down exact matches of Koigu colors can be a little tricky at best, and impossible at worst. Luckily, Koigu makes so many gorgeous colors that substituting one of these colors with your own choice is bound to bring its own rewards.
This blanket has been on quite a journey. I think Joelle's love for it has been rekindled, and Page may have to make her own! If you'd like to make your own and want to learn how to make a granny square, please visit our Granny Square Tutorial! –Whitney

The old church of Pälkäne dates back to the beginning of 16th century. During reformation it was modified to meet the requirements of new religious policies. For example wooden statues of Catholic saints were removed.
Church was robbed by the Russian troops during the Greater Wrath in 1714-1721. Church started to dilapidate during the 1740s and it was finally abandoned when new church was completed in 1839. The roof collapsed in winter storm 3.12.1890.
Hluboká Castle (Schloss Frauenberg) is considered one of the most beautiful castles in the Czech Republic. In the second half of the 13th century, a Gothic castle was built at the site. During its history, the castle was rebuilt several times. It was first expanded during the Renaissance period, then rebuilt into a Baroque castle at the order of Adam Franz von Schwarzenberg in the beginning of the 18th century. It reached its current appearance during the 19th century, when Johann Adolf II von Schwarzenberg ordered the reconstruction of the castle in the romantic style of England's Windsor Castle.
The Schwarzenbergs lived in Hluboká until the end of 1939, when the last owner (Adolph Schwarzenberg) emigrated overseas to escape from the Nazis. The Schwarzenbergs lost all of their Czech property through a special legislative Act, the Lex Schwarzenberg, in 1947.
The original royal castle of Přemysl Otakar II from the second half of the 13th century was rebuilt at the end of the 16th century by the Lords of Hradec. It received its present appearance under Count Jan Adam of Schwarzenberg. According to the English Windsor example, architects Franz Beer and F. Deworetzky built a Romantic Neo-Gothic chateau, surrounded by a 1.9 square kilometres English park here in the years 1841 to 1871. In 1940, the castle was seized from the last owner, Adolph Schwarzenberg by the Gestapo and confiscated by the government of Czechoslovakia after the end of World War II. The castle is open to public. There is a winter garden and riding-hall where the Southern Bohemian gallery exhibitions have been housed since 1956.

Very simple script that I adapted from another scripts (I will try to find it back to link original authors). The scripts is a simple object cloner in which you can set a prefix and suffix for the cloned objects. The only thing I changed was to prefill the prefix and suffix fields to clone an object as CollisionMesh. So if you clone "MyHouseA", it will be cloned as "ColMeshMyHouseA-1" in the "zCol-" layer. You can change the prefix, suffix and target layer name (If not existing a new layer will be created).
It's very simple but still a time saver if you use ctrl+v for cloning and then have to rename to remove the digits added as suffix. Also, it's made to be compatible with the T3D Mesh Exporter by having the same naming convention that the exporter use to find associated Collision Mesh.
Usefull script to quickly create multiple materials from image files found in a specific folder. The scripts is an T3D adapted version based on a modified version of: http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scrip ... map-loader . The adapted version allow to add a prefix and suffix for the new generated materials name. The base name used for the generated material is the image name and there's an option to remove the X last characters of that image name (usefull when your image sources end with a diffuse suffix.). The new materials are combined into a MultiMaterial object which is added to the current library.
In my case, I used it for my project textures used by different building, I added the prefix options since I got the habit to always name my materials starting with "base". I don't use the suffix but maybe it can ben usefull for someone...
- You have to select the extension after changing source folder to see how much files are found

Stung by WikiLeaks Breach, Feds Look to Tighten Security Systems
This story originally appeared on CNET
The new revelations originating from WikiLeaks are both embarrassing and rapid-fire: Afghanistan's vice president was found to be transporting $52 million in cash; Saudi Arabia's king called for the U.S. to attack Iran; a British duke mocked Americans' understanding of geography.
This week's leak -- still incomplete -- of some 250,000 State Department dispatches follows WikiLeaks' April release of a video showing U.S. troops firing on journalists and its release of hundreds of thousands of classified military dispatches from Afghanistan and Iraq. There was also, earlier this year, an internal Army report that worried about the threat posed by WikiLeaks.These documents add up to a massive store of sensitive U.S. information totaling around 725,000 files and amounting to what Der Spiegel is calling "nothing short of a political meltdown for U.S. foreign policy." And, according to chat logs made public earlier this year, they all came from one source: Bradley Manning, an Army intelligence specialist whose successful efforts to liberate data went completely undetected by authorities.
The possibility that a lowly Army private could have access to such a dizzying volume of classified files, and manage to spirit it away under the noses of his superiors until turned in by a hacker living in a Sacramento suburb, has left official Washington scrambling for explanations.
"One of the questions I have is, while people can access individual messages related to their specific job, shouldn't this system have caught someone downloading 500,000 messages and asked him, 'What are you doing?'" Senator-Elect Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) said on MSNBC yesterday.
While Obama administration officials have declined requests to confirm that Manning was WikiLeaks' sole source for these files, a State Department official may have been a bit more forthcoming than he intended.
"Someone within the United States government with access to the -- this information, downloaded it and provided it, you know, to parties outside of the U.S. government," P.J. Crowley, assistant secretary of state for public affairs, said yesterday. Crowley would not specify whether he was talking about Manning.
The leaked files apparently originated from the U.S. Defense Department's SIPRNET, which is used for exchanging information up to the secret level, and is jointly administered by the NSA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Defense Information Systems Agency. SIPRNET stands for Secret IP Router Network. (In what may have been an effort to protect its source, WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange in July publicly denied receiving the State Department cables.)
"It should not have been physically possible for an individual private to download records at will from a classified network onto transportable media," says Steven Aftergood, who directs the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy. "That was asking for trouble."
These are the questions that, government officials admit, are being asked at the highest levels of the Obama administration right now: Why was the computer network designed to allow a 22-year old analyst to copy megabytes of data? Where were the internal alarms that should have detected abnormal behavior?
In July, Pfc. Manning was charged with obtaining "more than 150,000 diplomatic cables," and sending the Iraq helicopter video to someone not authorized to receive it, both in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Manning, part of the 10th Mountain Division (light infantry) in Iraq, was detained in May and has been in military custody ever since.
A military checklist for SIPRNET connections requires users to consent to monitoring as well as an acknowledgement that assessments will take place to "determine the security features in place to protect against unauthorized access."
That's the theory. In practice, however, that didn't appear to happen. Manning allegedly recounted his clandestine exploits in a series of conversations that Adrian Lamo, the onetime hacker best known for breaking into networks belonging to the New York Times Co. and Yahoo, recorded in full. Lamo told CNET that he did not alter the logs (#1 and #2) before releasing them earlier this year.
Some excerpts from the logs, which describe slipshod or easily-circumvented security measures:
(12:54:47 PM) Adrian Lamo: What sort of content?
(12:56:36 PM) Adrian Lamo: brb cigarette
(12:56:43 PM) Adrian Lamo: keep typing <3
(12:59:41 PM) Bradley Manning: uhm... crazy, almost criminal political backdealings... the non-PR-versions of world events and crises... uhm... all kinds of stuff like everything from the buildup to the Iraq War during Powell, to what the actual content of "aid packages" is: for instance, PR that the US is sending aid to pakistan includes funding for water/food/clothing... that much is true, it includes that, but the other 85% of it is for F-16 fighters and munitions to aid in the Afghanistan effort, so the US can call in Pakistanis to do aerial bombing instead of americans potentially killing civilians and creating a PR crisis
(1:00:57 PM) Bradley Manning: theres so much... it affects everybody on earth... everywhere there's a US post... there's a diplomatic scandal that will be revealed... Iceland, the Vatican, Spain, Brazil, Madascar, if its a country, and its recognized by the US as a country, its got dirt on it
(1:01:27 PM) Bradley Manning: i need one myself
(1:10:38 PM) Bradley Manning: its open diplomacy... world-wide anarchy in CSV format... its Climategate with a global scope, and breathtaking depth... its beautiful, and horrifying...
(02:18:09 AM) Bradley Manning: they were stored on a centralized server...
(02:18:34 AM) Adrian Lamo: what's your endgame plan, then?
(02:18:36 AM) Bradley Manning: it was vulnerable as fuck
(02:20:57 AM) Bradley Manning: well, it was forwarded to WL
(02:21:18 AM) Bradley Manning: and god knows what happens now
(02:22:27 AM) Bradley Manning: hopefully worldwide discussion, debates, and reforms
(01:54:42 PM) Bradley Manning: i would come in with music on a CD-RW
(01:55:21 PM) Bradley Manning: labeled with something like "Lady Gaga"... erase the music... then write a compressed split file
(01:55:46 PM) Bradley Manning: no-one suspected a thing
(01:55:48 PM) Bradley Manning: =L kind of sad
(01:56:04 PM) Adrian Lamo: and odds are, they never will
(01:56:07 PM) Bradley Manning: i didnt even have to hide anything
(02:15:03 PM) Bradley Manning: pretty simple, and unglamorous
(02:17:56 PM) Bradley Manning: weak servers, weak logging, weak physical security, weak counter-intelligence, inattentive signal analysis... a perfect storm
(02:44:47 PM) Bradley Manning: the network was upgraded, and patched up so many times... and systems would go down, logs would be lost... and when moved or upgraded... hard drives were zeroed
(02:45:12 PM) Bradley Manning: its impossible to trace much on these field networks...
(02:46:10 PM) Bradley Manning: and who would honestly expect so much information to be exfiltrated from a field network?
(02:46:25 PM) Adrian Lamo: I'd be one paranoid boy in your shoes.
Lamo eventually decided, he says, to turn on his late-night correspondent. "I turned him in to protect lives and to protect information that's essential for the U.S. to be able to effectively carry out foreign policy abroad," Lamo said at the time.
For its part, the Obama administration is responding by tightening computer security. A one-page memo (PDF) from the White House's Office of Management and Budget this week orders federal agencies to "ensure that users do not have broader access than is necessary to do their jobs effectively."
In addition, OMB said, there must be limits on "removable media" such as USB sticks and CD-ROMs when used on "classified government computer networks."
An executive order that President Obama signed in 2009 says that the Secret classification level is reserved for material that, if disclosed publicly, "reasonably could be expected to cause serious damage to the national security." Top Secret is reserved for material that could cause "exceptionally grave damage to the national security."
A Defense Department official told the Associated Press that he was unaware of any firings or other discipline over the security conditions at Manning's post in Iraq. The Israeli military is also reportedly adopting new security measures to prevent WikiLeaks-style disclosures.
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), the incoming chairman of the House Homeland Security committee who has called for WikiLeaks to be listed as a terrorist organization, has pledged to probe what went wrong inside the U.S. military.
"Oh, we will, definitely," King said yesterday. "I intend to have full hearings on this. But the answer is going to have to come from the people who were in charge. And that is the head of the intelligence -- the heads of the intelligence community. This cannot be allowed to go on."

Miles Stanley and wife Trilla Maryland (my Mom's namesake) arrived in Hill County, Texas from Tuscaloosa County, Alabama in January 1875. There Miles became a successful farmer and was elected County Commissioner in about 1895.
In 1898, The Stanleys and the Fairs, Trilla Maryland's sister and brother-in-law, adopted 2 very small and very alone little boys who had been abandoned on the steps of the Hill County Courthouse.
By 1909, Miles had retired from public life and the family moved to Mineral Wells in nearby Palo Pinto County. Adopted son John Thomas Stanley graduated from high school in Mineral Wells and soon married and moved away to Fort Worth. Miles and Trilla Maryland remained in Mineral Wells until their deaths in 1932 and 1935 respectively, married over 60 years.

Good Phone, once you customize it
I've had the E71x phone for 3 days now and this is the first smart phone I've had. I love how this phone feels, Itâs heavy and solidly built. The keys are great, some people have complained that they were too small, but after a day, I don't make any more mistakes than I do on my laptop keyboard. Call quality is better than any phone I've ever had. The screen is vivid and crisp and the camera is perfectly acceptable, although the video recording probably isn't getting a full 30 fps. The battery is 1500 mah which is the largest that I have heard of in a smartphone and with normal use, you can expect a solid 2 days performance. In sum, I love the hardware.
However, when you look at the software side, things start to go downhill. I've read rave reviews of the E71 and how everything is customizable etc. But once AT&T got their hands on it, the phone suffered. As a result you can't re-arrange anything on the homescreen and you get useless applications such as express-mail that can't display HTML emails and even though the only available sync setting is called push, the email is not pushed at all. (I am using Gmail) Instead you have to go into the settings and hit receive to check if you have new mail. In this age, that is simply not acceptable. However, I found out that you can go to Nokia's website and have a text sent to your phone with a link to their far superior email client. The app is free for now but you are warned that Nokia may start charging for it in the future.. Also, the phone is almost completely incompatible with a mac.
The software is not all doom and gloom though, some included apps are useful such as songid and Wikimobile and the included browser is decent although I do also use skyfire as well, which supports flash and silverlight (the iphone doesn't). And instead of paying an additional fee for AT&T's navigation, you can download google maps which comes with Google Latitude. The iPhone doesn't have that yet either.
Great buy, good value, solid phone
I've had the phone for a week and overall I'm pleased with the phone. I bought the phone from Walmart.com (Let's Talk) for $0.99, great buy!!!
The phone is sleek and solid. The phone is constructed well. Being the big man that I am, I'm pleased with the qwerty keyboard, love the camera and use the free wifi all of the time. Battery life is good for a smart phone. The phone is also very easy to use. Definetly a good buy.
1. size
2. camera/flash/auto focus/video/settings
3. great feel to the phone
4. easy to use
5. nice keyboard feel/size of keys
6. free wifi
7. battery life
8. etc. good probably go on forever
1. can't use my downloaded songs as ringtones because the files are too large (maximum of 300kbs)
2. speaker phone volume/microphone
I'm sure I'll find more as I go on but overall this is a great phone and since I was eligible for an upgrade and got the phone for $0.99, you can't go wrong.

BEST Phone I've Ever Owned
The Nokia e71, what can I say, It's a smartphone users dream. The OS is streamlined and easy to use, phone setup is simple and painless, GREAT keyboard, beautiful screen, etc.
beautiful screen/keyboard
amazing browser
keyboard is perfect, and I have HUGE hands
voice volume is great
customizable home screen for ease of use
unlimited connectivity options viao WiFi, Infrared, etc
with a data plan can be used as a modem to attain 3G speeds on your laptop....amazing
PERFECT calendar....important to me
battery life is seemingly endless...no worries there
office programs preinstalled and easy to use
Using unlocked on T-mobile network and have never had better service, amazing!
Honestly, I have NO complaints whatsoever
TXT messages only up to 160 characters, no big deal though
If you enter a contact with First Name, Last Name...during a text, it comes Last Name, First Name....baffling and slightly annoying
Final Words:
Guys, for anyone looking for a better smartphone that has unlimited connectivity options, ease of use and just really, really pretty...this phone is for you. I have gone through 2 blackberry's and a CRAPPY DUMBphone samsung behold (they market it as a smartphone) and this is the best phone I've owned. Blackbery's are great but just so streamlined and give you no connectivity options, no voice call, no pretty....this phone does all that and more.
Thanks for reading, you can email me at email@example.com.
Better than an iPhone for Business Users
I bought the Nokia N95 8GB.. then sold it. I realized I couldn't live without a real keyboard, as I am a heavy email/txt user. Plus, the great camera made it a brick to carry around. Then I bought the HP IPaq 910c. In short, the WinMo/stylus experience on a touch screen device is a joke. What works using a mouse on a 19" monitor, really isn't appropriate or user-friendly on a tiny screen. Plus the iPaq was also a brick, and painfully slow as most WinMo devices seem to be. I went to the AT&T store to check out an iPhone. If I were a teenager and wanted to play games or use it as an mp3 player, I'd consider it more. Typing on a touch screen keypad doesn't work well on any touchscreen I've tried including the iPod. Also from what I understand, you have to hack it to be able to tether to a laptop, voiding your warranties.
The Nokia N71 has really been the answer to all of these problems. I get near true DSL speeds when tethered, the Mail for Exchange was easy to setup with my work email server, the screen transitions are fast and it doesn't lock up like the iPaq did. The camera quality is ok, and good enough for regular pictures. I love that the phone is very slim, well built, but still feels solid in your hand. Also, the GPS chip in the E71 seems to find and lock on to the positioning satellites in a fraction of the time it took any other phone that I used including the iPhone. Literally, it's locked on within 4-5 seconds of starting a GPS app.
The ONE negative is Nokia maps. It's a decent app, but the $160 annual license fee is ridiculous. Easily solved though, by either downloading Google Maps, or if you want true turn-by-turn voice guidance, buy Garmin Mobile XT for $70-80. There are free GPS apps too (Nav4All and others), but Garmin's worth the cost.
Still fun, even if you don't need a smartphone
I got an unlocked E71-2 from Amazon, and simply moved the T-Mo SIM from my last phone to the E71.
-This phone is beautiful and elegant. That may be a turn-off for some, a snob-factor. But I like that it is just a pleasure to look at and touch.
-It's thin and tiny. Specific dimensions never fully revealed to me how little this gem is. If I lay it on the number pad on my keyboard, the E71 is 3 keys wide and about 6 keys long. And it is very pocketably-thin.
-I haven't finished discovering all it can do: VoIP, streaming internet radio, FM radio, WiFi, IrDA, 3G (though not on T-Mo), Bluetooth (including DUN), plus all the standards like e-mail, scheduling, SMS, MMS, IM, and ton's of stuff via Symbian or Java apps, quite a few already installed.
-Excellent battery life, signal strength, and audio volume (both via speaker phone and normally).
CONS (Not real cons, just less glowing details)
-Not a flip-phone. Just my preference.
-I wish the character recognizer worked better, but then I didn't realize the phone even had a character recognizer until I got it.
-The camera's auto-focus just doesn't work. This can be worked-around by pushing 'T' to focus before capture.
-First unit had a loose battery/buggy firmware. Amazon replaced it and new one seems fine.
-Can't use the phone's 3G capability on T-Mobile's network. Not the phone's fault.
-Companion software is 'Windows only', pathetic for a company that's shifting its own Symbian OS to open-source.
-Does too much. I'm actually having productivity-envy; this phone is capable of doing way more than my relatively inactive life will ever require. That really does bother me a bit. I keep going to T-Mobile's site and checking out simpler, less intimidating models. But, frankly, I think I would miss the E71 too much.
This is probably the most perfect smart phone available right now. Of course, I can't say that for sure since I have not tried any of the others.
A functional and beautiful phone.
Best Phone I've ever had!!!
I have had this phone since June 26th, 2011. I had to do to four different walmart's to get this through StraightTalk and it has been the best!! The only thing is that I had one other phone through the same company and it had waaaaaaay better service that this one..., The reason is because this has a SIM card and it's GSM so it runs off of AT&T and Tmobile towers instead of Verizon like the other StraightTalk phones.., but other than that I love it!
1.)Big screen (I think LCD)
2.)Nice buttons
3.)Pretty fast considering it's almost like a blackberry smartphone
4.)$45 a month for unlimited everything on this phone.
5.)Thin (11mm)
6.)Loud speaker
7.)Clear calls
8.)BIG battery with a pretty long life time
9.)Good camera
10.)Multi-tasking like the iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
11.)Wifi capable
1.)Not good service where I live because of it being GSM.
2.)Can't download certain apps
3.)Some themes don't work the way they are supposed to when downloaded
3.)Sometimes it freezes but that's when I am frequently using it like its a toy.
4.)Some of the things on the phone like Internet Telephone is very confusing to set up and so are a lot of other apps.
I would totally recommend this phone to anyone that loves to have a smartphone with a cheaper company, and if you love a Blackberry look-a-like.
hide detailed ratings
I just picked this device up on StraightTalk. I needed a second number for a business Iâm starting, but I want to keep my expenses low and cover my bases. I was impressed to see such a high end phone sitting in a box in Walmart. I know the Symbian OS is a dying breed, but it is still very functional for todayâs use. I also know the Nokia devices have long been known for excellent call quality and this is missing or hit and miss on many high end devices today. My personal phone is an Android.
Itâs 2011 and this is 2008 device is still holding itâs own. It has Wifi, spiffy internet, EXCELLENT call quality (something many phones overlook these days), and a 3.2 MPS camera with autofocus. Thereâs an option for video calling and video âplaybackâ. Thereâs an FM radio and the internet radio is awesome. I listened to RAP music this morning in German! I could get US channels, but it should be noted that the reach is far and wide. MUSIC sounds great, you can hear the bass, trebleâ¦blah blahâ¦.
It connected well to my stereo Bluetooth devices. It does require a 2.5mm plug for a wired headset and the wired headset is necessary for LOCAL radio, not internet radio.
The OS is not as intuitive as Android, but I find it reminiscent of older Windows phones, only with more stability. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good phone that doesnât scream âprepaidâ. The text is a bit small, but it more than covers my need for unlimited everything plan at $45/month.
Itâs GSM running on ATTâs network, so the coverage should be extensive for most people.
one major drawback
This phone is very nice in many respects although it isn't Android capable, a major strike against it. But the big problem is that it produces one of the highest radiation (SAR rating) levels of any cell phone made. Since the speakerphone is weak, that leaves the headset option (bluetooth) which degrades the already less than stellar audio quality another step down. This phone is out of character in that regard for Nokias as their phones along with Samsungs tend to be some of the lowest radiation phone manufacturers. I know that talking with this thing on speakerphone near my head makes my head hurt after the call on whichever side of my head I was holding the phone near.
If that's not enough info to steer you away from this anomaly, the screen isn't nearly as big as the iPhone or newer Android phones.
Beware of the hidden danger that these transceivers represent, do a google search for SAR ratings and you'll be able to find the SAR rating for almost any cell phone.
Slim business-like smartphone just WORKS
*Superb call quality and reception
*Loud speaker for speakerphone and ringtones
*Great s60 apps including Python and mShell
*Transreflective screen is a breeze to read in daylight
*Solid metal feel, very slim, super pocketable
*Nice looking
*Easy menu system, with no "lag"
*Great SyncML compatibility with Goosync (calendar, contacts sync with Google apps)
*Fast aGPS lock
*VoIP SIP client built right in! Uses my WiFi to make phone calls!
*True push email (with built-in client using IMAP IDLE)
*Multi-tasking. Leave apps running in background
*Good resolution screen (320x240)
*Keyboard is not optimal. There is no gap between keys like on Blackberry
*Cannot charge via USB connector (fixed in e72)
*SyncML client cannot sync on a schedule
*Caller ID name is shown when new people call, but only their number appears in the call log
*PC Suite is Windows only, can only update/backup phone with Windows
*Directional keypad takes too many presses to move through screens. A touchpad type nav would be better (& I think that the e72 has this)
*No threaded display of text messages (I loved this feature of Bb)
*Different versions with different frequencies (e71-1 e72-2) complicates things when trying to buy or sell
Symbian wins for me. iPhone OS doesn't even let you multitask and Windows Mobile is slow and proprietary. Overall I think the e71 hardware is fantastic.
I have 30 days to decide to stay with my current carrier or leave. Based on the review of this phone, I thought I would be migrating to ATT. Not so. Call Quality was as if I was talking in a tin can. This is not acceptable for a higher priced phone and and higher price plan package, becuase of the phone.
The internet seemed responsive, but screen too tiny to be functional. So don't see myself using the internet much due to visibility of screen.
The look and feel of device was good. This was not enough to compensate for call quality.
The text and graphics (black/white, green and some blue) on screen reminded me of something from the CRT era.
Phone has a very dated look to it.

I ride and develop foils for around 4years now.
Learning foil take some sessions (I expect 3-4days) to manage well the foil.
The main target is to manage the balance of your center of gravity to control the foil
For that the best is to pratice with a production foil and maybe only one strap for the front foot.
First trials, you should learn to glide without using the foil effect to control the leverage of the foil.
After that it takes some trials to find the best balance on the foil.
I'm jsut back from the french racing championship and finish 2nd of the Open Categorie, riding the ZEEKO Makaira foil, but strapless to have the maximum of freedom!
One pic here (foil is production one Makaira)
Here in France: the 8 first riders used a foilboard,
On the internationals contest, foils are forbidden. Please push to introduce foil on racing contests!!!!

CHILDREN OF 9/11 – 10:00PM (NBC) The run of 9/11 anniversary programming hits primetime network TV tonight, with this hourlong special featuring interviews and home movies of children directly impacted by the 9/11 attacks, including one kid who was born just two days after his father perished. It's hard to believe it's been ten years since it all happened, so seeing these kids grown up will probably hit you like a bag of hammers. Bring tissues. ANTICIPATION: ROUGH!
WHEN POP CULTURE SAVED AMERICA: A 9/11 STORY – 8:00PM (Biography) On the flipside of tasteful 9/11 programming comes this special, and I swear there's someone at Biography Channel who thought that title was a good idea. I want to find whoever titled this special and staple his forehead. Because while I think it's nice that many celebrities hosted telethons and fundraisers after the attacks, I really don't need a retrospective telling me how America was magically healed because Fred Durst did a cover version of "Wish You Were Here." Unbelievably distasteful. ANTICIPATION: THE NERVE!
PATTON OSWALT: FINEST HOUR – 10:00PM (Showtime) One of the better comedians around gets an hourlong special tonight on Showtime. Tune in an hour earlier for another comedy special featuring comedian Russell Peters. ANTICIPATION: LAFFY!
MIAMI VS. MARYLAND – 8:00PM (ESPN) The Miami Hurricanes football team takes the field for the first time since that devastating Yahoo report that uncovered nearly a decade of rampant corruption and hooker parties. Something tells me the Canes will struggle now that players know they can't go there an experience unbridled hedonism. What other criteria could you possibly use when choosing a college? ANTICIPATION: DOWNHILL!
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF BEVERLY HILLS – 9:00PM (Bravo - an NBC/Universal network) Season two begins tonight. This show is totally what Biography Channel was talking about when it said pop culture saved America. ANTICIPATION: CATTY!
Labor Day Watch List: The Most Poorly Titled 9/11 Special Of All Time
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and have your Labor Day cookout. Burgers? Check. Dogs? Check. Beer? Check. Eight different kinds of potato chip? Check. LET'S GO!

As is often the case, Ben Sargent makes vague things crystal clear, in this case, Romney's economic program:
Mitt's economic policy: Hair of the dog
22 Responses to Mitt's economic policy: Hair of the dog
I notice this kind of rhetoric always seems to arrive "bare"; standing as emotion-laden rhetoric alone, by itself, without details.
The tax burden shifted to the middle class? By how much? A massive transfer of wealth, greater than under King John? Really? By how a factor of how many?
Fair share? What would that be? How come the progressives never say? They want all this emotion aroused but never seem to put any hard numbers next to it.
Are we talking income, or wealth? There is no wealth tax in this country as of yet; is that what you're wanting?
And last but not least, what makes you think a tax on the incomes of those who earn a great deal, won't eventually creep down to that so-called "middle class"? In fact, can there be any definition for "middle class," other than "the income bracket of whatever audience is being currently addressed by some hard-left wealth-redistributing politician"?
Liberalism, lately, seems to be little more than a tedious exercise in avoiding definitions.
"Bigotry" is merely acknowledging and respecting a right to own property. Wow, that didn't take long — we're all the way there. Get the word out, an election is coming…looks like we're voting on the right to own and keep property.
To me, it's difficult to make a case that in the 21st century, anyone seriously thought enormous tax cuts to the wealthy would actually stimulate job creation, instead of functioning as a massive transfer of wealth, from the poor and middle class (especially middle class) to the very wealthy Republican elite.
The error in your logic, is in thinking it's any kind of "transfer" simply to allow someone to keep what's already theirs.
After that kind of glaring error, anything in your train of thought that could possibly be correct, would be correct only by random chance.
He started screwing up from Day 1. The Bush tax cuts were approved in his first year.
Same ol' DarrelLogic; "screwing up" means simply doing something Ed Darrell doesn't like. You need to go back and look at the graph I posted: Things are going alright, right up until Pelosi and Reid take over Congress and thing things go kablooey. That's the recollection of most Americans, and it's accurate. It all goes back to 9.27 being a higher number than 5.26. Facts are stubborn things.
Look at this chart — read it and weep:
Yes, the chart is right. Government spends more than it takes in. And in the United States, the revenue hovers around 18% of GDP; draw the graph again, go back a great many more years, it remains more or less the same. Taxes go way up, taxes go way down, the trend continues. So Art Laffer was correct. What else were you trying to say?
Looks like we have to cut government spending. There's no other way out. Government should live within its means, just like all the households and businesses it taxes. It's the moderate answer.
Bush's end-of-administration screw ups cost us millions of jobs…
Hey Ed,
I'm interested to see you acknowledge the trouble happened "end-of-administration." Here's a question for you. How come it took Bush six or seven years to start screwing up?
Or let me re-phrase it slightly…
How come it took a two-term President, who dealt with a Congress friendly to his party for the first one-and-a-half of his terms, into the second half of his second term before he started screwing up?
As a reminder, although some state governors do enjoy the privilege of a line-item veto, the President of the United States does not; Congress granted the power to the executive branch and then the Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional soon after. One might therefore conclude, sensibly, that the leadership of Congress matters somewhat. Yes?
Morgan, the day Obama took office the rate was 10%+.
JK, that there's a false statement. Obama brought it up to 10.1 by way of that wonderful Reinvestment Act, which took a few months since the unemployment rate He "inherited" from that terrible, terrible predecessor of His was down in the 7's. Since reaching that Obama-created crest of 10+, it's gradually dwindled to 8.1 and 8.2, at which time the labor participation rate has been dropping like a stone.
Participation rate; it matters, it is important. ThinkProgress won't talk about it.
Morgan, the day Obama took office the rate was 10%+
Now unless you're somehow going to argue that George W Bush wasn't president at the start of the year in 2009 then you're claim is nonsense. Look at the rate at the 2009 mark, Morgan. That was the rate of unemployment on day one of 2009. Last time I checked, dimbulb, George W Bush was still president on Jan 1st 2009.
The fact still is under Bush we went from a low unemployment rate to a far higher one. And nothing you say changes that fact. The economy still crashed under Bush. There were no jobs created under bush.
Your party's policies still suck and nothing changes that fact too. Oh and by the way..as for your graph yeah you're conveniently forgetting that it was still Bush's budget in place until the middle of 2009.
All because your party launched two wars it didn't pay for, cut taxes to the rich that weren't necessary and gave away all that corporate welfare.
Sorry, time for you to stop living in your fantasy land.
You're the one who (quite obviously) is not looking at the graph.
Bush drove the unemployment rate to 9+? It was never that high during ALL of his eight years. Not even close.
But Obama's seen it exceed 10.1.
Those are facts. They are beyond dispute.
Morgan writes:
5.26 is less than 9.27.
Yeah..Bush inherited a 5.26 unemployment rate and drove it up to 9.27 with his failed economic policies.
So your argument is somehow benefitting Mitt how?
If Obama had inherited a 5.26 unemployment rate and drove it up to 9.27 you'd be jumping up and down screaming that Obama is a failure as a president.
So your lack of intellectual honesty, Morgan, as usual is not surprising.
Morgan writes:
– When Obama was sworn in, the unemployment rate was still lower than it has ever been since then;
– Bush's average is lower than Obama's;
– The highest unemployment rate ever under George Bush, apart from the moment of transfer, is lower than the lowest rate under Obama.
And yet none of that disproves the fact that under Bush there was no net job growth. Meaning under Bush more jobs were lost then were gained. And Bush had the lowest job creation rate of any President in modern history…including Obama.
And mitt wants to continue Bush's economic policies..the policies that drove our economy off the cliff.
But tell me, Morgan..what do you think giving the rich more tax cuts is going to accomplish?
And if you look at the graph more carefully, which apparently you didn't do:
– When Obama was sworn in, the unemployment rate was still lower than it has ever been since then;
– Bush's average is lower than Obama's;
– The highest unemployment rate ever under George Bush, apart from the moment of transfer, is lower than the lowest rate under Obama.
It's easy to see why these things are so. Under Barack Obama, starting or growing a business has become something of a gamble on what the regulators and legislators will or won't do. This was not the case under George W. Bush, during which time the unemployment rate averaged four points less than now.
I've been hearing a lot of this tired trope around the bathtub, that those policies of simply allowing people to make money to help grow the economy have been "tried and failed." It never has made a lot of sense and it still doesn't.
5.26 is less than 9.27. And 5.26 would be pretty sweet right now.
5.26 is less than 9.27.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Note: For more information on how to detect an IDE hard drive, visit http://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_ide_detection.
Older IDE drives are not supported by current StarTech.com products. Typically, these drives were made earlier than the mid-to-late 1990s and are smaller than 1 Gigabyte in size.
There are a number of reasons that older IDE drives may not be detected, including the following:
The drive uses PIO (Programmed Input/Output) mode and not DMA (Direct Memory Access).
The drive is non-ATA or is using an ATA mode that predates the chipset's compatibility (usually older than ATA-4).
The sector size is not 512 bytes.
Unfortunately there is no workaround in these situations. An older system or an older IDE controller card must be used to access older IDE drives.
Copy Link
Was this information helpful? Yes No
Note: If you are using an IDE hard drive 1 Gigabyte in size or smaller, refer to the following FAQ: http://www.startech.com/faq/hard_drive_accessories_minimum_ide_hard_drive_size
If you are unable to detect your IDE (PATA) drive using a StarTech.com product, you may need to change the jumper settings on your drive. The jumpers switch the drive between Master, Slave, and Cable Select for most drives. A jumper is a small plastic piece that slides on top of two pins to electrically short them together.
When it does not mention what IDE drive configuration is required or if there is only one drive in the setup, the drive should be configured as Master. If Master is not working, try using the drive in Cable Select.
There is no standard position for the jumpers on IDE drives. On some drives, the jumper diagram is on the label that is on the top of the drive. On other drives, there are markings on the circuit board for CS, MA, and SL, which means a jumper shorts the pins vertically in that position. For more information, refer to the documentation provided by the manufacturer.

The Life And Times Of The Central Limit Theorem
Available: macOS, Windows, Android, Tablet
About the First Edition: The study of any topic becomes more meaningful if one also studies the historical development that resulted in the final theorem. ... This is an excellent book on mathematics in the making. --Philip Peak, The Mathematics Teacher, May, 1975 I find the book very interesting. It contains valuable information and useful references. It can be recommended not only to historians of science and mathematics but also to students of probability and statistics. --Wei-Ching Chang, Historica Mathematica, August, 1976 In the months since I wrote ... I have read it from cover to cover at least once and perused it here and there a number of times. I still find it a very interesting and worthwhile contribution to the history of probability and statistics. --Churchill Eisenhart, past president of the American Statistical Association, in a letter to the author, February 3, 1975 The name Central Limit Theorem covers a wide variety of results involving the determination of necessary and sufficient conditions under which sums of independent random variables, suitably standardized, have cumulative distribution functions close to the Gaussian distribution. As the name Central Limit Theorem suggests, it is a centerpiece of probability theory which also carries over to statistics. Part One of The Life and Times of the Central Limit Theorem, Second Edition traces its fascinating history from seeds sown by Jacob Bernoulli to use of integrals of $\exp (x^2)$ as an approximation tool, the development of the theory of errors of observation, problems in mathematical astronomy, the emergence of the hypothesis of elementary errors, the fundamental work of Laplace, and the emergence of an abstract Central Limit Theorem through the work of Chebyshev, Markov and Lyapunov. This closes the classical period of the life of the Central Limit Theorem, 1713-1901. The second part of the book includes papers by Feller and Le Cam, as well as comments by Doob, Trotter, and Pollard, describing the modern history of the Central Limit Theorem (1920-1937), in particular through contributions of Lindeberg, Cramer, Levy, and Feller. The Appendix to the book contains four fundamental papers by Lyapunov on the Central Limit Theorem, made available in English for the first time.

In celebration of 40 years of women undergraduates, the Stevens Alumni Association hosted an "Alumnae of Distinction'' panel, featuring five extraordinary alumnae who hope to inspire the next generation of female students.
One recommendation for success was repeated several times during the discussion: make connections.
"Find your connection'' was the advice of SAA Past President and Genworth senior executive Mary Doddy '80, who welcomed more than 65 alumni, friends, students, faculty and staff members to the panel discussion on campus this month. "If you walk around, I'm sure you can find your own 'six degrees of separation' in this room,'' Doddy said, referring to the idea that everyone is approximately six steps away, by way of introduction, to any other person.
The five alumnae were invited back to Stevens to offer advice to today's talented students and share their extraordinary stories of success. They were Angie Hankins '95, a partner with Stroock & Stroock & Lavan, a nationally recognized law firm with practice areas in capital markets, intellectual property, labor and employment; Lisa Mascolo '82, the Chief Executive Officer of Optimos, a strategy and enterprise IT solutions firm; Tammy Rambaldi '92, director of information security and IT compliance at Johnson & Johnson; MaryAnne Rizk '01, M.S. '01, a senior director, partnership and alliance, at Medidata Solutions, and a faculty member at Stevens; and Yvette Vargas, M.S. '88, managing director, head of talent, development and diversity at UBS Wealth Management Americas.
The panelists were asked how to define success and all shared a personal story about what success is in their lives.
"I define success as the impact that my work has done, and it can take a long time to see that,'' said Rambaldi. "Success is also seeing what my team does and gaining the satisfaction in seeing them succeed.''
For Vargas, success is a lifelong process. "Success is a journey that recalibrates itself. If I can go to work and make one person better at what he does, then that to me is a success,'' she said.
The panelists offered their thoughts on strategies for women to succeed.
"Network,'' advised Mascolo. "Make that connection. Interpersonal relationships are often overlooked. Most women miss the value of connections. For instance, I don't play golf, but I go out on the golf course. Just because I don't play doesn't mean I can't talk to people and just make my presence known.''
Vargas echoed Mascolo's comments.
"Peer relationships are critical. Do I go out of my way to make my peers successful? We get results through working with people. It's about networking,'' she said.
Mascolo also shared her three philosophies of life: listen to others, learn as much as you can, and read just about anything you get your hands on. "Reading any sort of literature opens your mind to ideas that you may have never had,'' she advised.
Hankins shared her unconventional route to success. After high school, she enlisted in the Air Force and served for four years. She entered Stevens and belonged to the fencing team, the Stevens Technical Enrichment Program (STEP), Khoda and was a resident assistant. After graduation, she began law school at the University of Virginia. She made partner at Stroock in 2008 and today, among the more than 300 lawyers at her firm, she is the only African-American partner. Her success came from knowing what she wanted and also asking her supervisors how to attain it. "You have to push and ask for what you want. I asked about making partner (at annual reviews). I asked them, 'What should I be doing to be partner ready?' '' Hankins said.
The five women had some ideas on how to get more girls interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) courses. Vargas suggested getting the parents of young girls interested in Stevens, which would allow for talk of the Institute in the home. Rambaldi thought girls as young as elementary age need to be reached to nurture a love of STEM. Hankins suggested partnering with civic groups such as the Girl Scouts to create interest.
Rizk, who is working on her Ph.D. at Stevens, discussed the benefits of her Stevens education. "A Stevens education (allowed me to) springboard to the next level. A technical degree is a good investment. It opens doors. It allows you to take your education and navigate it to the next level,'' she said.
Lynn Insley, the director of Stevens' Office of Career Development, served as moderator of the event.
Distinguished Stevens Alumnae Say Making Connections Key to Success
