It's been quite the wait for certain cellular Galaxy Tab 3 owners. The Wi-Fi version of the tablet came out in July of last year, and while KitKat eventually rolled out to several variants of the device, some owners have still been left waiting. Sprint brought Android 4.4.2 to customers back in June, but that did no good for users sitting around on AT&T. Fortunately for such folks, the company has finally decided to push this thing out.
Sony releases a new flagship smartphone roughly every other month. That's a complete estimate. Sony isn't on my radar much because its phones often don't usually come to US carriers, and when they do, it's months late. Such is not the case with the new Xperia Z3, which is coming to Verizon as the Z3v later this month.
Amazon's Coins program, which basically trades real money for digital currency that can only be used on the Amazon Appstore, has become surprisingly popular. That probably has a lot to do with the massive amount of Coins that Amazon has given away in various promotions, but it doesn't hurt that the company recently integrated the Appstore with the rest of Amazon. If you're digging Amazon's ecosystem, the retailer is offering discounts of up to 20% on Amazon Coins.
A couple of weeks ago, a good number of us were turned on by the idea of an updated HTC One M8 that shipped with a camera packing not 4, but 13 megapixels. Then we had our hopes and dreams shattered with news that the device was expected to be a China and India exclusive.
The phone has now gone on sale in China. It will probably get imported into India, but there's nothing new to share concerning the other side of the globe.
The basic version of Autodesk's SketchBook app has been in the Play Store for a long time, but now the professional version has come to Android. Autodesk SketchBook has more advanced tools, a ton of brushes, layer support, and a lot of it can be accessed for free. Of course, the best stuff is behind a paywall, but it's not too expensive.
For some of us, breaking a smartphone is unimaginable. For others, it's only a matter of time. Either way, it could pay to have your ducks in a row. Samsung has introduced a new device replacement plan, and since no less than 107% of the world's phones were made by the manufacturer, a good number of people could benefit from this. But it won't come cheap.
Samsung's "Protection Plus Mobile Elite" plan costs $99.99 and provides coverage for two years.
Back in June, Google announced Android was destined to gain 64-bit support in the coming L release. A few weeks later, Revision 10 of the Native Development Kit (NDK) was posted with support for the three 64-bit architectures that would be able to run the new version of Android: arm64-v8a, x86_64, and mips64. As we close in on the official release of Android L, Google has updated the NDK to revision 10b and added an emulator image developers can use to prepare their apps to run on devices built with Intel's 64-bit chips.
Recently, we took a look at Ultra Violet, a new Hangouts app for Chrome that - at the time - was still in testing. It promised floating chats similar to Facebook's Chatheads feature, but for your desktop. Today, that app is finally a reality and available for download.
The premise is simple - as the video below demonstrates, a Hangouts bubble floats on the side of your desktop, opened from Google's Chrome app launcher, and subsequent conversations float above that.

DAVIE, Fla. — Reggie Bush has been reduced to a footnote in the wake of the Miami Dolphins' season opener, and that's not the role they envision for him.
Even with 20 touches, his highest total in three years, Bush was overshadowed by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, who riddled the Dolphins' defense Monday night in a 38-24 victory.
Bush embraced his trade this summer from New Orleans to Miami because his new team pledged to make him the feature back. He played nearly every snap in Game 1.
Bush made the Dolphins more dynamic on offense, and they gained 488 yards, their third-highest total since 1990. But the defense spent much of the night trying to keep up with Brady, and failing.

Quotes, reaction, day after Zimmerman verdictJuly 14, 2013 @ 6:47 pm
(AP) - The acquittal of George Zimmerman on all charges in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin spurred protest rallies across the country and once again sparked a nationwide debate over the U.S. justice system and race relations in America.
Here are some key quotes from Sunday:
"There is a difference between the law and what people think is fundamentally justice."
_ Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a Washington-based civil rights group.
"I'm sure jurors did what they felt was right in accordance with the law but maybe the law is wrong, maybe society is wrong. There's a lot that needs fixing."
_ Jessica Nacinovich, congregant of the Middle Collegiate Church in Manhattan.
"I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son."
_ President Barack Obama.
"He killed a human being and he walked away from that courthouse scot free. It's just terrible."
_ Tara Banks, a 46-year-old black woman from Gainesville, Fla., who said the verdict was causing her to lose faith in the courts.
"We're going to raise our voices against the root causes of this kind of tragedy. We'll aim our fight for justice against the ease with which people can get firearms in this country."
_ Excerpt of a sermon by the Rev. Jacqueline Lewis at Middle Collegiate Church in Manhattan.

Earth Hour 2008 - Switch Off All Lights!
8.00pm (local time) Saturday, March 29th is Earth Hour. This is when millions of people and businesses around the world will switch off all lights for one hour. The idea behind Earth Hour is to show people how much impact each individual can have in curbing the effects of global warming.
Earth Hour originated in Sydney, Australia. On March 31st, 2007 at 7.30 pm Sydney went dark for one hour, when 2.3 million residents and 2,100 businesses switched off their lights. Even some of Sydney's most famous landmarks, the Opera House and the Sydney Harbor, joined the movement.
This simple act resulted in cutting back 10% of the city's electricity consumption for one hour, the equivalent of the carbon dioxide emitted by 48,000 cars on the road in an hour.
This year, the movement has grown and many cities around the globe are planning to participate - ranging from San Francisco (USA) to Toronto (Canada) to Tel Aviv (Israel). For further information about this event go to www.earthhour.org.
Pass this information to all your family and friends and let's all try make a difference - one light switch at a time!

Southern rapper Torrence "Lil Boosie" Hatch was reportedly arrested Wednesday (April 22) night on aggravated second degree battery charges.
The arrest stemmed from a physical altercation which allegedly took place at his Louisiana home on April 12.
Sheriff's officials say when Boosie and a few others showed up at the house, there was some sort of a confrontation about a man stealing one of Boosie's necklaces. We're told that's when a fight broke out. Fists and possibly even a vase were used in the fight. One man was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. (WAFB News)
Boosie was also arrested last fall for alleged possession of drugs, weapons and resisting an officer in his homestate.
He approached deputies in his Dodge Challenger while on the road in East Baton Rouge Parish around 4 p.m. on Wednesday (October 22). Claiming there was a scent of marijuana coming from the vehicle, authorities reportedly approached Boosie who, in turn, refused to step out of his car and then proceeded to drive away. Stopping him from escaping, Boosie was then arrested by deputies and placed into Parish Prison on counts of marijuana possession, possession of a firearm with a controlled dangerous substance and attempting to run from law enforcement. (The Advocate)
Aside from legal woes, Boosie has shown support for his community including his recent Easter Bash event.
Young Jeezy made a surprise appearance at Lil Boosie's Easter Bash on Sunday in Baton Rouge, La. The rappers served food, participated in an Easter egg hunt, and gave away bikes and Nintendo DSs to underprivileged kids and their families. (Rap-Up)
Boosie has had rap success, most notably his hit single "Wipe Me Down (Remix)" Ft. Foxx and Webbie.
Trill Entertainment worked a deal with the Warner Bros.-associated Asylum, and both Webbie and Boosie were now on a major label. Webbie released his album in 2005; Boosie's landed in 2006. Titled Bad Azz, the release featured Yung Joc, Pimp C, and Webbie as guests. (All Music)
No information on Boosie's current status has yet been released to the press.

Neighbor speaks out after weekend homicide
Updated On: Jun 27 2014 02:11:41 AM EDT
A man was found dead inside a home in Arlington Sunday, after a shots fired call according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Officers were dispatched to Jackson Terrace Drive after a shots fired call Sunday night. Upon entry into the home, officers said 28-year-old Eugenio Iral was found dead.
Officers said they found no signs of forced entry or a gun inside.
Neighbors said the death has made them uneasy.
"I heard about 4 or 5 gunshots and next thing I know I see 2 guys running to the car and taking off," a neighbor who didn't want to be identified told News4Jax Monday night.
Officers also said they were interviewing several people in the area to determine what happened. The unnamed neighbor told Channel 4 his neighborhood is usually a quiet and enjoyable place to live.
"Mostly everyone here gets along. We all talk. We're all neighbors. No one tries to bother anyone. Everyone helps everybody. It's a nice place," he said.
When News4Jax approached the home where the person was killed Sunday, our crews were asked to leave.

Comments about Men's Clairmont Shearling Sheepskin Jacket:
This is a beautifully cut and tailored coat and is the third leather coat by the same manufacture. I learned from my other two coats - a Romano and a Denver, just how high the craftsmanship standards are. My brother has four coats from the same company, all bought from Overland, and they have stood the test of time as well. The fit and finish of this coat is beyond compare.I had originally been coveting the Jack Frost coat as I wanted a leather coat in black. I ultimately chose the Clairmont because I can wear it over a suit while in NYC (because of the longer cut) or dress it down with jeans and cowboy boots when I'm in the country. Either way, it makes me look great.This particular coat was purchased at the Santa Fe store. I've had the pleasure of having "Bill" one of the sales people help me. I have to give high marks to him along with the other sales staff at all the Overland stores I've been to. Never once did I feel any sort of hard sell coming on. I think I walked away from this coat three times before finally purchasing it and each time, Bill was friendly and gave me all the time I needed.

Exceeds Expectations !
By Picky Engineer
from Dallas, Texas
Received my coat today. Becky in customer service was great! I am a very hard picky, quality engineer, consumer of high end things.The coat has an exceptional finish, the wool is soft and fully lined through sleeves. The pockets are done in leather and are of equal high quality. All materials and workmanship are first class. I have many other coats by other well established high-end makers and I can say that this coat exceeds all of them, and at a lower price. As for fit, I am a 5'8" with a muscular build, normally wear a 46 to fit in shoulder and chest. However I wanted a slimmer fit and purchased the 44. It fits well, with room to layer. My only wish is that I would have found Overland before I spent too much on lesser quality products! Buy it!
Better than I hoped for.
By Bobby R.
from Long Island, NY
The Italian calf skin leather is of the highest quality, the Merino wool feels like fur. The coat is surprisingly light. The coat is extremely stylish and the workmanship is second to none.

spain restaurant on glendale blvd.
- 9
- 91106guy Feb 6, 2005 07:31 PM
Was thinking about eating here. Any feedback?
Empanadas are great. House cured olives are too. Not much else that I've had is worth writing home about. They did a face lift recently and the inside is nicer (it wasn't bad before). There is a little grocery from which I buy a lot of good things, like anchovy stuffed olives and cured meats.
Used to live next door, so I know it quite well. Things to try: the sausage in wine tapas, mushrooms in garlic tapas, empanadas, and for dinner get the chicken with onions, or if your with a group, get the paella, fresh and really good.
Admittedly this was a couple of years ago, but when I tried out all the LA tapas joints in one month I was really hoping hole-in-the-wall SPAIN would trump trendoids like Cobras y Matadores and such. (This was before AOC opened, btw.) Unfortch, while the grocery attached to SPAIN was a good find, the restaurant, while cheap and friendly and with exactly the ambiance I love, had lackluster food. I think we had about ten dishes, all recommended by the staff for our chowhound enjoyment -- but only one or two was any good. To my way of thinking if you're doing an encyclopedia of LA tapas, or you live nearby, it's worth trying, but not at all worth a special trip.
i was there 2 months ago, and i was not impressed. (of course being harrassed by the bums in the parking lot didn't exactly set a good mood...) the tapas and the paella were OK, nuttin special. the prices were reasonable, however.
i'd rather go to la paella - now that's a good place.
I do a grocery stop once a month or so. Olives, cheese, chicken, boquerones. Then I go home and cook real food. The restaurant Spain's food is fine, never had a bad meal but really nothing to phone home about except maybe the paella which is supposed to be the best deal in town.
Yeah, the grocery (probably an exaggerated term) is good: a variety of Argentinian yerba mate by the pound, guava paste, several kinds of chorizo (Bilbao style?), and saffron caught my eye. I got jamon serrano there, which is Spanish-style prosciutto, and it was excellent on a baguette with sweet butter. I'd tried the same sandwich with TJ prosciutto (ok, should've known better but the jamon serrano is shrink-wrapped too!) and couldn't understand why anyone would recommend such a thing.
But I got roast chicken once, which had been recommended by a few hounds as cheap and tasty-- it was cheap all right, but greasy and without much flavor.
re: Cicely
I realize the original post is old, but I just went there and thought I'd put in a very brief comment: all I had was the saffron chicken paella (shared with friend), and it was nothing special at all. In fact, the chicken was extremely fatty as well as undercooked, and the rice was way too salty.
The flan was good, though.

Ex-Jaguars WR Jimmy Smith out of prison, on house arrest
Former Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Jimmy Smith has been out of prison and on house arrest since June 19.
In March, Smith began serving a six-year prison term in Mississippi for drug possession and weapons charges, online state corrections records show.
The Mississippi Department of Corrections' website says the 44-year-old Smith entered the prison system in late March and was later moved to a facility in Yazoo City. He was sentenced by a Madison County court to two years for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and four years for possession of cocaine, records show.
His tentative release date is listed as Oct. 9, 2018.
Smith, a standout at Jackson State drafted in the second round by the Dallas Cowboys in 1992, played 13 seasons in the NFL, including 11 for the Jaguars. He played in the team's inaugural season in 1995 and Smith emerged as a dominant receiver. He continued to be a key member of the Jaguars offense that lead the team to playoff appearances for four straight years (from 1996 to 1999).
Smith has had multiple run-ins with police since his playing days, and was sentenced to 18 months of probation for a drug possession charge in 2009 in Jacksonville.
Smith voluntarily entered a drug rehabilitation program after the 2009 arrest, spending 90 days in a Houston facility. At the time, he said he hoped to return to Jacksonville and mentor the area's youth.
A Detroit native, Smith has lived in Jackson, where he once played at a local high school, for the past several years to be closer to family and friends.

Graduate School Student Success
This November, Katharine Miller, a first year master's student in Communication, presented a research paper at the National Communication Association conference in Chicago. Katharine's research, entitled Identity Rhetoric in the YMCA's Annual Campaign, explores how the YMCA, the nation's largest nonprofit, communicates who they are and what they do through various rhetorical efforts aimed at promoting the organization's Annual Campaign. As a nonprofit organization, the YMCA relies on the financial support of donors and members in order to exist. The YMCA's largest and longest-running fundraising effort, the Annual Campaign, is dedicated to providing much-needed financial support for families throughout the community who are unable to afford programs or the full cost of membership. This campaign aligns perfectly with the organization's mission to build a strong community through promoting an active, healthy lifestyle. In order to promote the campaign's success, the YMCA produces rhetoric that works to establish legitimacy and reinforce the organization's identity. Identity building and reinforcement is of practical consequence for any organization as it serves as the "building block" for objectives, projects, activities, and so on, thus it becomes a fitting perspective for understanding the YMCA's Annual Campaign rhetoric. Katharine hopes her research will contribute to the conversation regarding nonprofit organizations as a whole, with a focus on how crucial it is for these organizations to communicate who they are to both internal and external stakeholders.
Samantha Miller, a 4th year Ph.D. student in Religious Studies, had the honor of presenting her research at the Pappas Patristics Institute Conference in Boston this October. Samantha's paper, entitled Fear Not: John Chrysostom's Demonological Discourse as Motivation for Virtue, discusses how John Chrysostom, a fourth-century bishop and theologian, used speech about demons as a way to encourage his congregation to be more virtuous. This research looks specifically at his emphasis on a person's proairesis, which is something like their free will, and the relationship between his emphasis on proairesis when speaking about demons. Through this it becomes apparent that demons, which are very real, are useful for Chrysostom's goal of getting his audience to be virtuous. This is significant to theological studies because it offers a way to see Chrysostom's moralizing tendencies as significant in themselves and worthy of study rather than dismissing the man wholesale because he preaches about morality and not "systematic theology." Upon completing her degree, Samantha hopes to find a tenure-track position teach and researching historical theology.
This October, International Affairs Master's student Yasir Kuoti presented a paper at the Wisconsin Political Science Association and Wisconsin Sociological Association Conference. His paper, entitled How Do Autocratic States Survive Economic Sanctions? The Case for Religious and Tribal nationalism in Iraq, examines how the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein countered the effects of the most comprehensive multilateral sanctions ever imposed by United Nations Security Council. It argues that early in the 1990s Saddam's regime reluctantly institutionalized Islam and tribalism into the Iraqi secular state after recognizing the potential threats of these two powerful sources of domestic (in)stability. It concludes that such institutionalization is key to understanding Iraq's survival strategy. This is significant not only to the academic scholarship but also to policy makers who must, if all possible, fully understand the true underpinning of autocratic states before such punitive measures are imposed. Yasir also published an article in Militant Leadership Monitor this year, entitled A Post-Mortem Analysis of Muhsen al-Fadhli—Former Head of Syrian AQ Affiliate Khorasan.
Jiangbiao He, a current Ph.D. student in the Electrical and Computer Engineering program, recently presented a paper at the IEEE Energy Conversion Congress and Exposition (ECCE) in Pittsburgh, PA. His paper, entitled Diagnosis of Stator Winding Short-Circuit Faults in an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Machine, focuses on the reliability improvement and condition monitoring of electric motor drive systems, which have been widely used in energy conversion units of electric/hybrid vehicles, renewable energies, and so on. This paper presentation introduced a novel diagnostic method for detecting stator winding short-circuit faults in permanent magnet machines. The invented method has low cost, fast fault diagnosis speed, and high resolution. After completing his Ph.D. degree at Marquette University in spring of 2015, Jiangbiao would like to work in industry in the area of power and automation technologies. Jiangbiao He also obtained the Outstanding Research Assistant Honor Award from Marquette College of Engineering in April 2014.
Matt Seib, a PhD candidate in the Marquette University Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, has been awarded the 2014 STAR (Science to Achieve Results) Fellowship from the US Environmental Protection Agency. The prestigious fellowship supports environmental engineering and science graduate students working in areas that serve national interest. The STAR Fellowship provides total benefit up to $42,000 per year for two years. Matt is conducting research regarding sustainable systems to treat municipal wastewater with a focus on energy and nutrient recovery. Using his results, wastewater treatment systems can be converted from net energy users to anaerobic membrane bioreactors that produce methane that can be burned as a renewable energy source. In conjunction with his M.S. studies at Michigan Tech, Matt also spent two years (2009-2011) in the Peace Corps as a water/sanitation engineer in Mali, West Africa, where he conducted research examining water quality at different sources and points-of-use in the village where he was living. Matt is now working at Marquette University within the research group of Dr. Daniel Zitomer in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering. For more information on Matt's research and the STAR Fellowship, see http://www.eng.mu.edu/Zitomer_Lab_Group/people.html and http://www.epa.gov/ncer/fellowships/.
Second year Clinical and Translational Rehabilitation Health Sciences Ph.D. student Chris Sundberg had the opportunity to present his research poster at the Integrative Physiology of Exercise conference in Miami, FL. His research focus on sex differences in muscle fatigability during short-duration, high-intensity cycle ergometry. Chris explains that human locomotion, athletic performance and the ability to carry out everyday activities are determined by the ability of our neuromuscular system to repetitively generate force or power. A fundamental consequence of repeated activation of the neuromuscular system, however, is the force- and power-generating capacity becomes impaired—i.e., the muscle fatigues. Studies that elucidate the causes of muscle fatigue in men and women performing different tasks is important to inform exercise prescriptions used to not only improve athletic performance but to restore or maintain physical function in both healthy and diseased populations. The results demonstrate that while men could generate markedly greater amounts of force and power, the time course of muscle fatigue and the neuromuscular activation patterns were similar, suggesting that the causes of fatigue were the same between men and women. After finishing his doctoral studies, Chris hopes to obtain a tenure track faculty position where he can continue to research and teach the marvels of human physiology.
Joe Packhem, a 2nd year Master's student in Marquette's Civil Engineering program, recently participated at the European Society for Engineering Education conference in Birmingham, England. Joe coordinated a day-long educational workshop for students, deans, professors, and researchers in engineering education, as well as presented a paper. His paper, entitled Insight to Global Engineering Challenges: Study and Analysis, is a collaboration between the Student Platform for Engineering Education Development (SPEED), and the International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES) to track global trends in engineering education. General information was gathered about the person taking the survey regarding what year they are in school, what department are they in, where are they located, what methods are being used for teaching at their university, what would they like to see more of in their education, do they have access to research opportunities and funds, and do they have availability for international exchange programs (also if so, where does the funding come from). This information was gathered to help policy makers at universities make decisions, and further uses are being developed in a following paper for the World Engineering Education Forum in Dubai this December. Joe currently works part-time for the Masonry Advisory Council in Illinois and plans to continue working there after graduation.

Mehrdad Niknam, a 3rd year Civil Engineering Ph.D. student, recently presented his research at the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) conference. His work, entitled A Social Networking Website for AEC Projects, presents a project social networking website that facilitates professional interactions among a project's participants and provides a dynamic project knowledge base that would allow combining knowledge created during various phases of a project life cycle. Architecture, Engineering and Construction projects involve a number of individuals and organizations with different roles and responsibilities. In a new project, participants may initially not know each other; however, to be effective, those with a common interest must be able to easily find each other to share their knowledge about the project. Another requirement for effectively managing a project is the ability to easily add new knowledge to the project knowledge base. The current format for representing, accessing, and sharing project data cannot take advantage of the full potential of the Internet. In Niknam's proposal, the participants in a new project may join the project website using OpenID. The project website uses a Semantics-based approach to information modeling that allows project website members to add new knowledge to the project knowledge base and perform graph query on project data.

1st year Mechanical Engineering master's student Merit Schumaker presented his paper entitled Mesoscale Simulations of Dry Sand at the Society for Experimental Mechanics conference this June. Merit explains that there is an interest in producing accurate and reliable computer simulations to predict the dynamic behavior of heterogeneous materials and to use these simulations to gain further insight into experimental results. In so doing, a more complete understanding of the multiple-length scale involved in heterogeneous material compaction can be obtained. In this work, planar shock impact experiments were simulated using two different hydrocode formulations: iSALE and CTH. The simulations, which were based on a Georgia Tech experimental setup, consisting of a flyer of different thicknesses impacting dry sand over a range of impact. Average particle velocity traces obtained from the computer simulations were compared to experimental measurements. The mesoscale simulations compare well with the dynamic behavior of dry sand. Improvements on these simulations with the inclusion of these mesoscale phenomena were presented with this paper. Upon completion of his master's degree, Merit hopes to begin a career in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering for government contractors or various government agencies in and around Washington DC, with hopes of someday returning to academia as an instructor.
Jeff LaJeunesse, a first year M.S. student in Mechanical Engineering, recently presented a paper at a conference for the Society for Experimental Mechanics. His work, summarized in his paper entitled Simulating the Planar Shock Response of Concrete, sought to create computational simulations that predicted the shock response of high strength concrete under blast loading. Experimental test data was obtained from an Air Force Research Laboratory senior research engineer, Dr. Bradley Martin, at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. Simulations were performed using a hydrocode software in which material response under shock loading can be observed and characterized. Computational simulations involving concrete, and other granular materials, have been of great interest to the Air Force due to the vast use of concrete in roads, bunkers, etc. After finishing his master's work at Marquette, Jeff will consider pursuing a doctorate degree in mechanical engineering or entering industry in a related field.
This May, 4th year Interdisciplinary Ph.D. student Hugo Maxwell Pereira presented an academic poster at the annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in Orlando, FL. His presentation, entitled Cognitive Stress and Visual Gain Affects Force Fluctuations at Low Forces looks at further investigating sex difference in neuromuscular physiology. Understanding sex differences in neuromuscular physiology will improve exercise prescription for training and rehabilitation. This study investigated different levels of cognitive demand imposed during sustained elbow flexor contraction in different intensities. Results showed that that increased cognitive demand impaired steadiness of the elbow flexor muscles in women, especially at very light contractions. The amount of visual feedback also influenced steadiness in women; however, manipulating the visual feedback did not offset the decline in steadiness when cognitive demand was imposed. These results highlight the influence of cognitive demand in the control of force especially in women. Understanding these sex differences will help to prevent work related injuries during light contractions under dual task activities that requires cognitive demand.
This June, first year Computational Sciences Ph.D. student Drew Williams, will be presenting a poster at the Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America Conference in Indianapolis, IN. His research and poster, entitled Smartphone-based Light Intensity Calculation Application for Accessibility Measurement, is part of the Access Ratings for Buildings project, in conjunction with UWM and funded by the National lnstitute of Disability and Rehabilitation Research. Drew and his team have developed a light meter that runs as an application on a smart phone and determines whether or not a particular environments' lighting is accessible for users as outlined by ADA guidelines. As the application can assist building and business owners in determining if their buildings and businesses are accessible for disabled users quickly and easily, without the need to buy additional hardware, this in turn can greatly improve the quality of life for those with differing abilities, allowing them to visit a wider variety of establishments. Last year, as a Computational Sciences master's student at Marquette, Drew won an A.T. Anderson Memorial Scholarship from the American Indian Science and Engineering Society. Upon completing his Ph.D., Drew hopes to become a research scientist, creating accessible human-computer interfaces.
This April, Christina Figueroa, a 3rd year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student, presented a posted and the Cognitive Neuroscience Society's conference in Boston. Her poster, entitled Reinforcement Learning in Individuals at Risk for Alzheimer's Disease, aimed at providing a novel method of differentiating individuals who carrier a genetic risk factor for AD from those who do not using reinforcement learning. By so doing, her findings are the first to assess this population within this cognitive domain, effectively filling a gap within the literature and helping to bridge a divide between various areas of psychological research (cognitive, clinical, and neuroscience). This conference was the first national presentation of Christina's work and publication is expected to follow in the near future. After completing her Ph.D. from Marquette, Christina plans on pursuing a career in clinical neuropsychology, either within academia or at an academic medical center.
Katie Hazlett, a 4th year Clinical Psychology Ph.D. student, presented a poster entitled Executive functioning and risk for Alzheimer's disease: Family history predicts performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) at the Cognitive Neuroscience Society's conference in Boston this April. Given the sensitivity of the WCST in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD), examining differences in performance among at-risk cognitively intact individuals (i.e., those with positive family history (FH) of AD) would provide valuable insight into preclinical cognitive changes. The current study examined WCST performance in 24 FH- and 17 FH+ older adults. Results revealed significant group differences for multiple WCST variables, such that the FH+ group consistently exhibited poorer performance. Moreover, family history predicted performance on the WCST above and beyond the contribution of demographic variables such as age. These results speak to the potential role of executive functioning (EF) in bolstering our understanding of early cognitive markers of future decline. Expanding our understanding of the relationship between additional domains of cognitive functioning (i.e., EF) and risk for AD may allow for better prediction of cognitive decline and potential progression to AD. After graduation, Katie plans to pursue a career in neuropsychology, either in an academic setting or within an academic medical center. She was also recently selected to receive the Rev. John P. Raynor, S.J. Fellowship for the 2014-2015 academic year.
Ashley Beaudoin (left) and Lauren Thomas (right) are 2nd year Masters students of the College Student Personnel Administration program in the College of Education. Recently, they co-presented with Tina McNamara, the Director of Undergraduate Advising in the College of Education, at the National Academic Advising Association's Regional V Conference in Madison, WI. Their presentation, entitled Not Just Minions: Graduate Assistants and Practicum Students as Advising Partners, discussed different strategies for graduate students to gain meaningful opportunities and experience in academic advising that will benefit an advising office. The presentation gave an overview of the reasons a graduate assistantship position in advising was created at Marquette, the challenges associated with the assistantship, the evolution of a summer practicum experience, and the benefits of both opportunities. Marquette's Advising Assistantship Experience and Practicum Guidelines lends itself to be a model for programs at peer institutions.

Dell positioning to acquire Exanet
It is reported and we hear from other sources that Dell is inching closer to buying failed clustered NAS vendor Exanet. Israeli headquartered Exanet went titsup before Christmas, and a liquidator was appointed to get the best results from selling the company or its assets. A Dell rescue deal had previously been on the cards but …
Also could front end equallogic arrays. I'm not personally aware(though I have not sought out) any NAS heads that could operate on a back end of iSCSI disks. Given that Equallogic is iSCSI only it sort of limits their options since most "SAN" connectivity is of course fiberchannel.
Exanet can do iSCSI on the back end by contrast since their stuff is fairly agnostic. They already use Chelsio 10GbE NICs, and Chelsio offers 10GbE full iSCSI offload NICs w/linux support(Exanet runs CentOS). Wouldn't take much work to test+certify.
Isilon is a totally different beast to me, with their combined controller+disk units, Exanet is a pure play controller solution, more on the lines of Onstor, NetApp V-series, BlueArc etc.
