Two Students, Lydia Hartzell and Colleen Costello, Receive a Travel Grant from AKD to present their Capstone research at the North Central Sociological Association meetings in Cincinnati, OH, April 10-12, 2014.
Colleen is the President of AKD and Lydia is the Treasurer, both students are receiving a travel grant from Alpha Kappa Delta, the national honor society of Sociologists to attend and present their papers at the North Central Sociological Association Meeting in Cincinnati. Colleen Costello's paper title and abstract follows:
For this project, I was interested in how a person's gender shapes how he or she perceives sexual harassment. I conducted twelve interviews with men and women in an organization and gave them multiple scenarios and asked them to discuss why or why not the scenario was sexual harassment, in their opinion. What I found was that gender is part of what shapes sexual harassment, but it is not the only factor. Age, company status, previous experience with sexual harassment, and multiple other factors shaped their perceptions. These multiple factors worked together to shape their perceptions, rather than it being just one factor (gender, as I had originally thought).
Lydia Hartzell's paper title and abstract follows:
"Cyberknowledge: A study of the Doctor-Patient Relationship and doctors' Presentation of Self with the Increasing INfluence of the Internte"
The doctor-patient relationship has become a widely discussed topic with increasing consumer-centered culture. However, the influence of the Internet on patient medical knowledge has not been adequately addressed. This research addresses the issue of the Internet informed patients and their relationship with their doctors, with special attention on the doctors' presentation of self. Specifically, doctors' use of impression management is examined by way of in-depth interviews. Transcription and analysis of the interviews took the dialogue and found recurring themes within the conversation, revealing trends and patterns in doctors' views of the Internet. Themes found within the data revealed doctor-patient interactions varied based on patient socioeconomic status and the doctor's perceived role of a physician. Additionally, doctors' perceptions of their roles shaped perceptions of the Internet's place in medical consultations. Throughout each theme doctors utilized impression management strategies to maintain their status.

Westminster College Sociology and Criminal Justice Majors Accepted into American Sociological Association Honors Program
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Westminster College sociology/criminal justice and biology major Joseph Ritchie and criminal justice major Annalisa Ryding have been accepted into the Undergraduate Honors Program of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
The ASA Honors Program provides undergraduate sociology students an intensive introduction to the professional life of the discipline. The students will attend the ASA Annual Meeting in New York City this August and participate in several events, including presentation of their research in a Roundtable Paper Session, meetings with representatives of national graduate programs and exclusive "conversations" with prominent sociologists.
Ritchie and Ryding's acceptances into the program were based on a personal essay, resumé and submission of an excerpt of their capstone research papers. The students were also sponsored and recommended by departmental faculty Dr. Kristin Park, professor of sociology and chair of the department, and Dr. Kristenne Robison, assistant professor of sociology.
"We are extremely proud of Annalisa and Joe. They carried out research projects that are not only fascinating and relevant, but also theoretically informed and methodologically sophisticated," Park said.
"This award is a testament to the quality work that Annalisa and Joe produced for their senior capstone research," Robison said.
Ritchie's project is titled "Anarchy: A Study of Socialization and Retention of Motorcycle Club Members." This investigation sought to identify the models of socialization that motorcycle clubs utilize not only to recruit, but also to maintain members within their organization. The goal of this study was to illuminate an elusive and enigmatic component of American society to aid in the development of a process model of socialization that may enable both sociologists and criminologists to further understand these groups.
Ritchie is a son of Carmen and Elizabeth Ritchie of New Castle and a graduate of Kennedy Catholic High School.
Ryding's paper is titled "'It's Just Not Something People Want to Hear:' The Socialization Process of Becoming an Atheist." Although the population of people who identify as secular, agnostic, or atheist has doubled in the past few decades, they are still one of the most highly stigmatized groups in today's society. This paper draws on in-depth interviews with self-proclaimed atheists to investigate their journey from theism to a non-religious identity.
Ryding is a daughter of William and Merriam Ryding and a graduate of Kane Area High School.
Senior Selected for Clinton Global Initiative Grant
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Westminster College senior political science major Katelyn Moga received a grant to attend the fifth annual Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U) March 30-April 1 at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.
Established by former President Bill Clinton, CGI U challenges college students to address global issues with practical, innovative solutions. Members take concrete steps to solve problems by building relationships, creating action plans, participating in hands-on workshops, and following up with CGI U as they complete their projects. This year's CGI U encompassed students from 300 colleges and universities in 30 countries and all 50 states.
Moga's commitment to action is a continuation of a research project conducted with Dr. Kristenne Robison, Westminster assistant professor of sociology and criminal justice studies, and senior sociology major Katrina Falconer. Moga's plan would create a sustainable partnership program between Westminster and the Cambridge Springs Correctional Facility for Women. Through the partnership, students and faculty offer introductory level college courses that are denied to the women in prison. The goal is to provide, through education, a greater chance for success once released while learning the importance of civic engagement for both the students and the women.
Moga had the opportunity to hear from Clinton as well as speakers that included former Secretary of State Madeline Albright and Jon Stewart, host of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." She participated in workshops on ways to fund her initiative, took an active role in panel discussions on pertinent world issues, and presented her proposal to students and professionals involved in education programs.
The entire group spent the last day of the conference involved in community service projects that included improvements to a middle school and its community, packing care packages with the Pat Tillman Foundation to send to troops, and making household improvements for veterans.
"President Clinton worked side-by-side with us all day, which was the experience of a lifetime," Moga said. "This was a great way to give back to the community and truly inspiring to see so many students working together."
Clinton's opening speech made a lasting impression on Moga. "He discussed the importance of being an active citizen: the necessity not only to go vote and become aware of the issues facing our world, but also the necessity to take a vested interest in your community. Clinton explained this component of being civically engaged needs to be a permanent part of the definition of a citizen in today's society. That simple explanation resonated with me as the most important thing I learned. I will always remember it and strive to pass it on to others."
Moga is a daughter of Timothy and Pamela Moga of Ashtabula, Ohio, and a graduate of Edgewood High School.
Falconer is a daughter of Keith and Renee Falconer of Bessemer and a graduate of Mohawk Area High School.
Student Received Award from Community Foundation
Thursday, August 25, 2011
Westminster College first-year student John Jones recently received a scholarship through The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County (CFWC). The funds will be applied to his tuition for the 2011-2012 academic year.
Jones received a $1,000 award from the Brandon Boyd Memorial Scholarship Fund. Jones, a criminal justice studies major, is a son of Kimberly Jones of Ligonier and a graduate of Ligonier Valley High School.
"We are grateful to The Community Foundation of Westmoreland County and their scholarship funds for their support of bright, motivated students, who represent the future of our region," said Gloria Cagigas, Westminster's vice president for institutional advancement.
Since its inception in 1995, CFWC has grown to include over 350 funds valued at $17 million and has granted over $10 million to local non-profit organizations.
In July 2010, CFWC made community foundation history by merging with The Pittsburgh Foundation. The merger of these two organizations signified a new era in non-profit alignment and growth of mission. By harnessing the strength of The Pittsburgh Foundation, CFWC has an increased presence across the region, offering its donors improved services, increased grant-making opportunities to its non-profit partners, and service to Westmoreland County at a greater level.

93.3% of Users Would Recommend this Digital Camera
6.7% of Users Would Not Recommend this Digital Camera
PROS: A camera that is almost intuitively easy to use. Combined with the optional 16-45 Pentax lens it takes brilliant images.
CONS: Built-in flash is very only marginally useful. Seems to shoot one stop underexposed, but exposure compensation adjusts for that. Flash sync speed is a bit slow considering the competition.
PROS: solid good feel in hand, easy to learn features and tweaks on camera, Many more features than Nikon or Canon of similar cost and class-- plus Pentax makes some of--if not the best glass in the world today, this camera takes beautiful photos
CONS: This is not an entry level camera, This should be your 3rd camera after 1st beginning with a simple point and shoot, then 2nd something like a Canon powershot S3, then move up to SLR.
PROS: excellent ergonomics. unique RAW button.high quality images. tons of features. great value.
CONS: No hard button for adjusting white balance. Anyway you can still use Function Menu to do that.noise at iso 1600.
PROS: Value for the price, quality of construction, designed for photo enthusiasts, can use legacy Pentax lenses
CONS: Shutter a bit touchy (difficult to hold for focus), not a lightweight camera
PROS: Excellent picture quality in RAW format, shake reduction system and sealed weather/dust resistant body
CONS: Horizontal tilt problem. Auto white balance and jpeg engine are not so good, autofocus speed is slower than Canon and Nikon.
PROS: So many features at an affordable price.
CONS: needs to be a little bit lighter
PROS: Cheap, quality of pics, easy to use, IS function
CONS: none
PROS: The K10D takes some time to customize to a user's preferences, but controls then become intuitive and are perfectly located for quick changes. Custom-adjusting the image parameters to shoot with more saturation and sharpness will correct for Pentax's inherent softer image, and give real punch to images. The SR really worked well and I could consistently shoot tack sharp images with telephoto lenses at surprisingly low shutter speeds — best of all it worked with some really old manual focus K-mount lenses from my old K2 that date back from 30 years ago, and a bonus was the in-focus beep sound when I had focussed properly. The 16 to 45 zoom that I got as my standard lens is fabulous and well worth the extra few dollars. This is really a well-designed photographer's camera with manual external controls for every almost shooting function - no searching through endless menus.
CONS: The K10D is one heavy brute. I could ask for more a faster burst rate than three frames per second, and only 10 RAW images per burst.
PROS: Awesome feature set. Weather-sealed, shake reduction, full 3 fps for the entire memory card in JPEG, 22-bit A/D, native DNG support, and the list goes on and on. 24 million compatible Pentax lenses to choose from. Innovative user interface features -- designed for photographers.
CONS: More lens choices in longer glass -- being rectified with new DA* lenses announced for later this year. Does not support the aperature ring sensor like the old film cameras (means we need to use stop-down metering with old M lenses).
PROS: Great image quality and feature set. Performs very well in inclement weather (I had some extreme cold, wind and blowing snow conditions in Minnesota recently).
CONS: Battery life is good but not great. The optional battery/grip that I also got does help.

What is AQI?
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health concerns you should be aware of. The AQI focuses on health effects that can happen within a few hours or days after breathing polluted air. EPA uses the AQI for five major air pollutants regulated by the Clean Air Act: ground-level ozone, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide. For each of these pollutants, EPA has established national air quality standards to protect against harmful health. (EPA-454K-03-002, August 2003, http://www.airnow.gov/)

Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER |
Good morning from the ballpark. (That's not something I type often.) It's Independence Day, and that means a continuation of a new tradition here at Nationals Park: the 11:05 a.m. game. It's a bit unconventional, but it's not a bad little tradition (plus it gives everyone plenty of time to get home and enjoy the rest of the holiday.
The Nationals are getting a nice boost today, with Wilson Ramos returning from the DL. The catcher went 0-for-10 on his rehab assignment with Class A Potomac, but those numbers are less significant than the fact his hamstring is healthy and he's good to go for the first time since May 15. Which means, for the first time since mid-April, Davey Johnson will be fielding his complete starting lineup (with Anthony Rendon having replaced Danny Espinosa, of course).
Taylor Jordan makes his second career start, hoping to earn his first career win. All indications are that either way, Jordan will be sent back to the minors after this one, with Dan Haren on track to return from the DL and take Taylor's spot in five days. You'd certainly like to see the kid pitch well and be rewarded for his efforts today.

Most of the people who sign on when things are going bad generally do so to either be consoled or to find out if there is something going on with a certain player that they have missed. There are different mentalities but some people believe that it is somewhat classless to come on the site just to gloat when things are going well, and those types are actually affirming their loyalty to the Nats by commenting at the worst of times, rather than only when things go well as homers often do.

I would like for someone to explain to us all the rationale for determining the "winning" pitcher. It seems that the only one absolutely cut out of the mix if a reliever messes up is the starter who has left the game, even if the starter leaves ahead and has pitched a quality start. He is completely at the mercy of whatever shenanigans his relievers perpetrate. Today, Drew should buy Taylor a steak, a big one.
- jw - Jul 4, 2013 at 9:03 PM
http://scorekeeping.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/determining-winning-losing-and-saving-pitchers/This links to a blog posting that discusses the process for determining winning pitchers. In general, the winning pitcher needs to pitch the half inning before the winning team takes a lead that it doesn't relinquish. If a starter's team is leading when he is relieved, but the other team ties later ties the game, "it's a brand new ballgame", and both starting pitchers get "no decisions".

Vladimir Tarasenko suffers concussion in Russia
Written By Corey Rudd on Sunday, October 14, 2012 | 9:23 AM
One of the many worries fans have with NHL players finding work overseas is the risk of injury. Nobody wants to see one of their team's best players get hurt playing for another team while the NHL tries to figure out their labor issues.
Unfortunately for St. Louis Blues fans, the injury bug hit one of their top prospects.
Blues forward and rookie sensation Vladimir Tarasenko suffered a concussion on Saturday while playing for SKA St. Petersburg.
It is believed that Tarasenko will be out a week while his head clears, which is encouraging news as it does not sound like it is a serious head injury. But anytime a young player is suffering concussions, you have to be worried.
Just remember how long Blues forward David Perron was out with his concussion injury. These are serious injuries and hopefully Tarasenko can fully recover without any other incidents in the near future.
Tarasenko was playing well overseas though, tallying points in ten consecutive games before the head injury.

Communication designers and its graduates, certainly have the creative ability to make significant change to society and public service, and yet I question why this is not sold to designers as a credible route to take post Graduation.
Pitching the fact that only 23.2% of design graduates will find jobs in the creative industry itself, London based [public sector] design agency ThinkPublic, introduce The Real Work Experience.
The real work experience aims to open design graduates' eyes to the opportunities of using their skills beyond the usual design roles and the possibility of working in the public sector. Concurrently, the programme aims to educate public sector bodies on the skills and value designers can bring to their organisations.
This is one of the most inspiring and much awaited initiatives I have seen for a long time. The situation so many design graduates find themselves in is frightening, and yet there are so many possible avenues to vehicle our talents toward.

Hanna-Barbera's Dexter's Laboratory told the story of Dexter, a bespectacled young boy who just happened to be a genius. The title referred to the enormous laboratory Dexter built in his room, unbeknownst to his parents. But despite his tremendous I.Q., Dexter could never figure out a way to ward off the plague that was his annoying older sister, Dee Dee.
Dexter was an outcast with a very active imagination. He was the apple in his teachers' collective eye, which, combined with his intelligence, made him an obvious target amongst his peers at Huber Elementary School in California. Escaping from the rest of the world, the oddly-accented Dexter took his revenge in the lab. With the aid of his computer, he designed weapons of mass destruction, like atomic-powered robots and other exotic machines.
The only person he couldn't escape was his ballet tights-wearing pest of a sister. Bug-eyed Dee Dee was the only person who knew of her little brother's lab and ongoing scientific experiments. In typical older sister fashion, she took it upon herself to single-handedly thwart any and all efforts made by Dexter, scientific or otherwise. She destroyed his lab, constantly made fun of him, and generally made life even more miserable for young Dex. However, in the name of science, Dexter usually prevailed, with his moronic parents none the wiser.
Dexter's Laboratory debuted as part of The Cartoon Network's compilation show, World Premiere Toons, but it soon became clear that the budding genius was big enough for his own show. Both the writing and the animation were extremely clever, calling to mind other modern-day classics like Ren & Stimpy. There were plenty of cultural puns interjected throughout the episodes, making viewing a pleasure for parents as well as kids. In past episodes, allusions have been made to classic films, karate movies, and Japanese animation. Other animated segments were occasionally interjected into the series, including Justice Friends and Dial "M" For Monkey.
For all the smart, sensitive kids out there, Dexter proved that it doesn't matter if you aren't a cheerleader or a football player; all that matters is the size of your lab.

Happy Holidays
In the spirit of the Holidays, here is my baseball wish list:
10. Health and happiness to all baseball fans, players, and youth. That means fewer injuries for key players on my favorite team – and I guess yours too.
9. Lots of new artifacts from baseball history to be donated to our collection in Cooperstown. It is like Christmas morning all year long when we unwrap them.
8. For my all-time favorite player to get the 75% of the BBWAA vote and earn election to the Hall of Fame. I could get this good news soon – as he is on this year's ballot!
7. New records, new feats and new faces for the upcoming baseball season. Who doesn't love waking up each morning to follow a hitting streak or home run watch on the television baseball highlights? It just makes mornings easier.
6. Sunny weather – but not too hot – on July 22 in Cooperstown. Enough to make it warm and beautiful – but not turn me into a lobster.
5. A World Series Championship for my favorite team. Pretty, pretty please!
4. A fun weekend with my family while we watch as some of the game's greatest play in the Hall of Fame Classic over Father's Day Weekend. My family loved meeting Phil Niekro last year!
3. For the 2012 season to bring as much excitement in the second-half and postseason as 2011. I thought there couldn't be a more exciting day than the last day of the regular season – then Game 6 of the World Series came along.
2. For a fun new year through programming and education at the Baseball Hall of Fame where we will welcome the newest additions to our family – Ron Santo and any other electees that come out of the BBWAA election on Jan. 9. My favorite time of year is when all the Hall of Famers are back home in Cooperstown.
1. I love the holidays, but once they are over, I hope for February to come quick so pitchers and catchers can report. Bring on Spring Training!
I hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday season – and get ready to PLAY BALL!
Samantha Carr is the manager of web and digital media at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Treatment of Varicose Veins of the Leg

- Treatment of Varicose Veins of ...
Treatment of Varicose Veins of the Leg
- Sclerotherapy—injects the varicose veins with a chemical to shrink the veins
- Radiofrequency ablation—collapses and seals varicose veins using radiofrequency energy
- Vein stripping
- A surgical procedure called phlebectomy
Varicose Veins |
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc. |
Reasons for Procedure
Possible Complications
- Recurrence of varicose veins
- Bleeding
- Infection
- Skin discoloration at the surgical site
- A blood clot, known as deep vein thrombosis
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
- Evaluate your deep and superficial vein systems and decide which veins will be removed or destroyed
- Do an ultrasound—a test that uses sound waves to examine the veins in your legs
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood thinners
- Antiplatelets
- Wear special support stockings.
- If you have a stasis ulcer, wear Unna boots. This is a type of cast that will aid in healing the ulcer.
Description of the Procedure
After the Procedure
How Long Will It Take?
- Sclerotherapy—short office visit
- Radiofrequency or laser ablation—1 hour
- Vein stripping—1-1½ hours
- Phlebectomy—2-4 hours
Will It Hurt?
Post-procedure Care
- If you had vein stripping, keep your legs elevated while you are resting. This will help to minimize pressure on your veins.
- If you had sclerotherapy or ablation, resume normal activity within a few hours.
- Wear an elastic bandage for the first 24-48 hours, or as instructed by your doctor.
- Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You may need to have another ultrasound done.
Call Your Doctor
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or any discharge from the incision site
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Pain, burning, urgency or frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Leg swelling

I was just thinking that this site pizzamaking.com has probably revolutionized home pizza
CDNpielover,From what Steve, the owner and Administrator of this forum, has said, he started the forum because he couldn't find any place that was devoted to trying to make restaurant quality pizzas at home. In order to get the best information on how to do this, and be free of influence from commercial interests like advertisers, he decided to make the forum a free and open public resource and be not-for-profit. There would be no inundation with advertising. Steve also wanted the forum to be "G" rated so that his own children could come to the forum and learn from it without being subjected to rude conduct or objectionable content. That objective remains true to this day, although it is a challenge to fulfill this objective in a social media world where people can post pretty much what they want without accountability. Fortunately, our forum has not had the types of problems in this area that other forums have had, or so I am told. As I recall it, when I joined the forum in 2004, there were only a few forums where pizza as a subject was covered. They were eGullet, the PMQ Think Tank and the Pizza Today bulletin board. eGullet had some content on making pizza at home but it was quite limited and nothing like what was being posted on this forum at the time. The PMQTT and the PT Bulletin Board were for professional pizza operators although some home pizza makers would register and become members there. I think that one major aspect that differentiated pizzamaking.com from everyone else was the fact that photos could be easily inserted in posts, and be assured that they would remain there forever and not disappear because a link to a photo became inoperative. We also live in a visual world where people will be reluctant to try something, especially something like a pizza, without seeing photos. It was possible to do something similar at the PMQTT but few members made use of that capability. I do not think that the PT Bulletin Board had that functionality. So, photos in posts was and is a big differentiator. If we fast forward to the present time, the PMQTT has become a shadow of its former self even though it just this past week went through a facelift (http://thinktank.pmq.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=13917&sid=b03d59f057a5474632f070884e72d057). Posting volume at that forum has seen a dramatic decline over the past year or two. I'm not sure why that has happened. Maybe the economy has been a factor and maybe professionals have to spend so much time trying to be successful with their businesses that they are left with too little time to post on matters of interest to them. The PT Bulletin Board no longer exists. I mention these cases since our forum has seen a dramatic increase in the number of members who are pizza professionals. I am not sure if this is a good thing or not because professionals do not last long on the forum. They usually are not interested in home pizza making and they almost always leave when they have gotten what they were looking for. It may be partly by default that such people ended up coming to our forum in the first place. Another area where I have seen the effects of the forum on its members is the sizable number of members who have gone on to be professionals. In many such cases, they learned most of what they know about making pizzas from the content on the forum. Some of those members are still on the forum but the day-to-day details of running a business keeps them from being as active as they once were. But it is unmistakable that this forum was a major contributor to what they went on to achieve.Another area where I think this forum has differentitated itself is in the area of tools, especially the dough calculating tools. Those tools have allowed members to do things that were virtually impossible for them to do before, at least with ease. Those tools have also been responsible for a big increase in digital scales. If those tools disappeared, I would disappear also . In my view, the keys to success of this forum is having enough members who are generous and selfless in what they do (they are usually the ones who are also "power posters"), high quality content, and good moderating. As a Moderator who has spent considerable time in each camp, I would rate them equally. Yet, the structure is fragile. Otherwise, the other pizza related forums would be thriving, not in remission or defunct. Over the years, we have lost some very good and productive members. The reality is is that any given time, there is only a relatively small number of members who are the power posters who keep the ship afloat and help develop the quantity and quality of subject matter content that in my opinion is necessary for survival. They are an important reason for the success of this forum. Peter
I know that I made pizza dough basically the same way for 30 years, and it was always a same day dough. I don't do that anymore.As for home pizza making in general, I think anyone that comes here and utilizes the forum will make better pizza than what they made before, regardless of how good it was. In the larger scheme of things, I am not sure that there is enough penetration to say that PM.com has had a national or international impact on pizza making at home, but rather as Pete alludes to above, the impact of members who have gone pro DOES have influence on the national pizza scene.
Using the information on this site, it's now possible to make restaurant-quality pizza at home. Was it possible or common prior to the creation of this site? It certainly wasnt when i was a kid. i remember my mother buying boxed pizza dough mix and baking it in a big rectangle on a cookie sheet, and while it was fun to make, it never really tasted like real pizza that you would get from a restaurant.
Three years ago I had never made a pizza in my life. I started practicing at home and after about a year, my wife and I decided to open our shop. It was ambitious (and a bit foolish) and we weren't as good as we thought we were at the time, but we adapted to the commercial aspects of pizza quickly and a year and a half later, we are still in business producing what we feel is some of the best pizza in the Kingdom of Thailand. Almost weekly we have customers who come in to pick up pizza to take back to Bangkok (which is 600km away) because there is no good pizza there. Kirk
The wonderful thing about pizzamaking.com is the group of people that gathers around this site. It is very gratifying to find a group that shares a passion for something and is interested to share their knowledge and experience. We have a really wonderful resource here. What Peter said about it being fragile is true, so we have to take good care of it. BTW, Peter, I am always so impressed with your wise words and great knowledge about so many things. Thanks for your long-standing contributions to the forum.
I originally found the PQM forum as a lurker and was not at all inspired to get involved with it because of this mindset. I want to keep things top shelf and this forum is a great place for people looking to making great pizza the top priority! Walter

Ladies and Gentlemen, newcomers and veterans of Snafu, welcome to the first semi-annual Snafu Art Contest, taking place in the summer of 2013! All kinds of artists, both professional and hobbyists come together in order to create a drawing related to the contests theme for an opportunity to win fame*, fortune**, and a fabulous prize: A commision by bleedman!
Everyone has a chance to win!
Keeping in line with our first summer contest, our first theme shall be, fittingly:
"Summertime Activities."
So with that in mind, go out there and draw anything you feel is under that theme, be it you hanging out at the beach, having a barbeque, or having a stroll in the great outdoors. You can draw yourself and your friends, or fan art based on your favorite Snafu comics, or perhaps your own characters. Whichever you feel like.
Voting will be done by fellow members of Snafu, making this a community activity. Along with everyone else, there will be three anonymous judges who will critique your work and vote alongside you, and who will, ultimately, decide which piece of art stands out from the rest, with your votes as backing. The winner of the contest will then receive a free commission from Bleedman, the artist behind Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Grim Tales, Sugar Bits and more. So do your best to impress!
There are specific areas we want to inform you about and how things are organized.
• The Voting thread: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=54947
The voting thread is a Local Announcement thread, in the Art Section. You will vote here. Names and submissions are gathered together and posted. The submissions are linked with the names.
• Your Art thread
Within the Art Section you can create your own thread and name it in a way that identifies it as yours. This is your portfolio were you can post your art. Post your entry here as a "ticket" to participate, AND post a link to your entry in the main contest thread.
• Duration
The entire contest itself will take place for one month as soon as it opens: We are planning on opening in the beginning of July. THE CONTEST IS A GO!
* = Fame restricted regionally only to the area within the forum's frontiers.
** = Fortune described here as a "feeling of being fortunate", for participating.
Special Thanks goes out to Hiroko for the idea, and to Mir@k for the design of the announcement.
Feel free to ask questions too, btw.

I'm still trying to appreciate them for what they are, so I'll still get the mileage out of them. $35 isn't a high price tag, but to upgrade 'X' of them all to chase small features is going to create very unstable 12oz beer bottle coasters over time with little used market re-coup costs.

Horrible assumption that you think developers are top-dogs, Jeff. I've seen many cases were DevOps role FAILED for competent developers because, in the cases I've seen, this is true:
* Your smartest developer may be just that when it comes to language, software architecture and platform development, but their operating system, networking, hardware infrastructure knowledge + background is not even hobby-shop at best.
* They've always had an ops or engineering crew to throw their code at, figure out how to integrate it, and NEVER had to support it.
* Ego problems thinking they are 'above' remedial automation --- which most of the time doesn't involve a real development language, just scripting.
Out of those two things alone, I've always heard the: "Well we need a sys-admin/engineer now because we are spending more time trying to manage systems, not really sure how or what to automate, and it's really taking time away from me getting back to the kind of development I, as the developer want to do." Which is the polar opposite of the two points I mentioned above.

Leave your smart phone at the dorm, give your student ID to a conspirator and have them badge you in at the library, use a laptop you temporarily bought at Walmart 2 weeks ago (which has an excellent return policy within 15 days opened or not), then take a taxi (or walk) down to a local area with free wifi (outside a budget hotel, coffee house or there are still dinks who have open APs), use a fake mac address, and do what you need to do. Kid criminals these days.
I'm sure some slashdotter will bullet-hole that remark, but for making a digital bomb thread 'these days' I'd say you have to at least do that if you were on such a mission to do so.

When it was 'just' an upstream snapshot look to what RedHat Enterprise was going to be in the future, I was totally cool with that, and it melded nicely in a lot of environments. But that spin-off has become such a damn mess now with developer heavy ideas that, in some case, go against every foundation of a traditional UNIX-like operating system design, I could really give who shits what the do now.
Making a 'one-size-fits-all' OS is, pain and simple: a horrible idea. I don't want a damn highly integrated OS that I can use for everything. You'll never get that right, and some 'next-in-line' guy they give 5 minutes of talk time at the next conference will say the same thing.

Geeks.com (or compgeeks.com which is where I initially discovered them back in circa '98) is/was totally awesome. I bought new or refurbished from them and never had a problem at all. It was one of those 'shop-all' places for yester-new hardware, which IMHO, holds ALOT of merit against shops like newegg and a like today that only house 'latest-and-greatest' and have a pretty short shelf life for old tech. If I needed to find a CPU type to max out an old motherboard to give it's last 'spark' of useful life, or some obscure bargain-basement item that was worth the handful of dollars to try out, it was perfect. It was one of those places you could definitely depend on having that 'focused' item you were looking for in the end-consumer PC hardware market.

Couldn't agree more. I do prefer online purchasing for those very reasons myself. I think it also comes down to simply getting the 'best' deal, and if that's brick-and-mortar or online with 2-day S&H, that's what it is. I think there's also some convenience in there, too, especially if there's something you want. It's all what you are willing to pay for that item you want, need or can't live without. I know it's not going to break the bank for me to pay the 5-7% sales tax on items online, I just hope that the prices online still stay competitive and don't stick it to the consumer, otherwise it honestly won't make a bit of difference to me anymore.
All in all, I'm indifferent on the sales tax dilemma and I've came to the conclusion that this internet place isn't really a fun place anymore...

2) That 'one' management component that slightly cared about your teaching tutorial, has an internal epiphany, and now uses their scratch-on-the-surface knowledge to contract all your future ideas, decisions and pitches.
I think it would be your best interest to figure out the cost savings, increased productivity, product improvement, upgrade/growth/implementation strategy, ect. ect. ect. and maybe go back and find out the mission statement you are working for to begin with as well. You seem to only be concerned with getting that new, fancy IT toy at your place of employment and less about how it helps the company that employs you.
Comment: Less sensorship, more human policing, India (Score 2) 96
I guess if the Indian government wants to talk about censorship and muting of violence, then I vote for them to worry less about about the minors registering on social networks like FB and alike, and more about the ones getting raped on buses in their own country as of late.
It's a bit shallow of me to exploit a circumstance such as that (and certainly not a dig at all from the wonderful Indian community at large), but it's sad what 'Big Machine' irregardless of worldly location will waste their time on. Want to do some cleanup with violence? Start within the confines of your own country boundaries first. Definitely in some need of some human filth policing.

From a Anaconda GUI manual install process, it seems silly to ditch very basic password blackout + back-end entry validation to make sure both password and retype fields match. Was that too much to maintain?
From a Kickstart perspective, I'd say it's even 'less' secure because you can hard-code plain-text useradds in %post, grub passwords, AND more importantly, the root password itself. Not to mention, reveal a boat load about your hardware/network infrastructure that can be a lot more detrimental in the wrong hands or eyes.
...but point taken on both, I'd hope: 1) You're doing the install yourself and if it is a semi-sensitive install and NOT done with prying eyes and 2) from a ks perspective, you practice good filesystem ownership and permissions or satellite/spacewalk access controls. u
All in all, it's shit like this that makes me lose even more faith in the current Fedora maintainers and the Linux distro going forward. Within the last year, things like non-POSIX adoption breeding into packages, lack of security (as mention in article), putting 'all' binaries in

We've all been in situations where a new hot dog 'somebody' comes into the workplace, swings the dong around to show their intellect or to make their positional place in their new turf. Put your tenure and title away, along with his/her blunt explanation or criticism of your code for a second and I think what you have to consider is merely a few things:
1) Did he/she make you think about something you didn't consider before or how to handle?
2) Did he/she offer absolutely any real suggestions with proven code that will expand on what you did and make it better?
If it's 'no' to both, then tell that person to piss off. Because it's nothing more than someone wanting to hear themselves speak.
I have this happen to me all the time: People question what you, how do you, why you do, not because there's some sense to 'learn' from your experience, because they are just simpletons who try to be this all-knowing-intellect-goat and 'look good' in front of their peers.
I think if you have a perfect, well-balanced, engineered, methodical and concrete explanation WHY you did something, then I would consider the person's commentary as a fart in the wind and certainly as nothing more than being a typical douche-bag trying to hand out solutions-looking-for-problems.

I've never personally used a rent-to-own service, but I can't imagine it's much fun when your marketed crowd is people who can't afford things outright, then specifically deadbeats who have zero intention of ever buying it and will go to great lengths to try and keep your merchandise.
But there's some shady about this whole story that just doesn't make a lot of sense. Why on earth would a rent-to-own company have a whole development team designing all this for them? I think there was a bit of wrongful intent on the company to want to try and steal some PII; maybe not use it themselves, but sell that information, sure.
Now being tied up with a legal battle, it's now easy for their lawyers to pull out the scapegoat that it was all about protecting their investment and assets. As much as I buy that, that's what the repo-man makes a living for. And if you're losing that many computer assets of non-payment or delinquency, then start selling bottom-line PCs and bring some pimple-faced Best Buy let-go in to oversell and dramatize the hell out of them for you. Or better yet, just stop selling them altogether.

Spasticity is stiff or rigid muscles. It may also be called unusual tightness or increased muscle tone. Reflexes (for example, a knee-jerk reflex) are stronger or exaggerated. The condition can interfere with walking, movement, or speech.
Muscle stiffness; Hypertonia
Spasticity is usually caused by damage to the part of the brain that is involved in movements under your control. It may also occur from damage to the nerves that go from the brain to the spinal cord.
Symptoms of spasticity include:
Spasticity may also affect speech. Severe, long-term spasticity may lead to contracture of muscles. This can reduce range of motion or leave the joints bent.
This list does not include all conditions that can cause spasticity.
Exercise, including muscle stretching, can help make your symptoms less severe. Home-based physical therapy is also helpful.
Contact your health care provider if:
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your symptoms, including:
After determining the cause of your spasticity, the doctor may refer you to a physical therapist. Physical therapy involves different exercises, including muscle stretching and strengthening exercises. Physical therapy exercises can be taught to parents who can then help their child do them at home.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study was a well designed and executed phase III randomized trial. There have been a number of recent phase III trials for this disease presented at the ASCO meeting using a variety of novel agents (sunitinib, temsirolimus, sorafenib). Remarkably, each one of the trials reported positive results. One criticism of this trial is that using interferon as monotherapy would not be expected to provide much of a benefit. Thus, based on this trial, we do not understand how important the relative activities of bevacizumab and interferon really and it is difficult to compare these results to the other recent trials showing activity. However, the authors' conclusions are valid. The addition of bevacizumab does in fact appear to provide a clinically important benefits in this disease. It would be interesting to perform a randomized trial comparing this regimen to other active regimens that have been making headlines over the last few years.
Jun 6, 2012 - Continuing use of bevacizumab (Avastin) in combination with second-line chemotherapy improves overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer who have progressed after discontinuation of first-line bevacizumab and chemotherapy, according to the results of a phase III study presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, held from June 1 to 5 in Chicago.

devastating news,
February 21, 2012
Well, now I have a female issue from over three years ago. I had a precancerous place on my cervix. I had to do a form of chemo for 6 or 9 months and got a clean bill of health a year later. Well, I'm still having issues so I'd texted Eddie (estranged husband) as I thought that he could help since he used to have me on his insurance. He texted that he had no remedies to my medical issues. I'd told him that just the visit would be almost $200 + pap smear (lab work) expense. He wasn't supportive after all that time (almost 7 hours) together yesterday. I'll keep praying for him! I checked into the free service with Cross Timber Health Center (Stephenville), but I have to be a resident of one of the counties: Erath, Eastland, Brown, or Comanche. I'll call Ruth's Place in Granbury behind Kroger tomorrow. Hopefully it will take Somervell County residents. I sure need peace on this now!!!! :)

A FlatPak house built in 2010 mixes clear glass with colored panels.

The Birchwood, Wis., home sits lightly on its wooded site, thanks to a pier foundation system.
Lazor Office also designs modular homes, such as this Madeline Island, Wis., project, completed in 2010.
The Madeline Island home's two modules are connected by a site-built main room.
Minneapolis-based Charlie Lazor first introduced the panelized FlatPak house in 2005. Since then, his firm, Lazor Office, has built 18 FlatPaks. Over the past few months, it's also introduced a lower-priced version of the house. "The original FlatPak is really a high-performance building envelope," Lazor says. "We've simplified the construction of it so it's more in line with the way houses are typically built." The new iteration will cost around $200 to $220 per square foot, whereas the original FlatPak, which is still available, costs approximately $260 to $290 per square foot.
The company's own shop in northwestern Wisconsin produces the FlatPaks, which it then takes charge of assembling on the site. "The benefit of doing FlatPak and other modern prefab is that there's a high degree of predictability—of cost, schedule, and what you're going to get," Lazor explains. He estimates that his panelized houses cost an average of 15 percent to 20 percent less than a comparable stick-built custom home.
He's also explored modular prefab, as opposed to panelized, and found that he can achieve a modular price point starting at $180 per square foot. Additionally, about a third of the firm's current workload is stick-built. "It really depends on what the client wants," Lazor says.

Vehicle Communication Design & Management
Automotive networking involves the design and management of disparate networks which handle the exchange of thousands of signals coming from multiple computers.
Automotive networking software allows the user to manage:
- Real-time requirements in the distributed computer system
- Changes in communication requirements and architecture
- Version and variant control
With traditional products the user to must manually define frames and typically can't tell if the system will even work until it has been tested, Volcano network design tools allow the user to define the correct requirements prior to testing.
Unlike the more traditional design approach, in which the initial design effort relies on a trial-and-error approach, Volcano enables a "design-to-correctness" process that includes:
- Automatic communication design
- Mathematical timing analysis
- Seamless connection to the implementation
- Automatic verification of communication parameters with respect to timing
Volcano Network Architect
Volcano Network Architect is a design and analysis tool for CAN and LIN communication systems. VNA provides design, analysis and administrative functions and supports designing systems with legacy electronic control units (ECUs) with fixed messaging.

Comments about Toachi 2:
I got these sandals last summer for my 5 year old daughter and 7 year old son specifically to use with their scooters. I'm a little paranoid about them scooting in flip flops and getting their toes/feet mangled (or even just hurt). My son has worn out several pairs of shoes using his foot as a stopped with his scooter, but these have held up well. The kids have never had blisters, or complained about wearing these sandals. To me they are a perfect alternative to wearing tennis shoes in the hot TX summer when feet & toes need a little more protection than flip flops or other sandals provide.
