David M. Ewalt, Contributor
I write about games, hobbies, and people's passions.
Some people wonder if where you go to college matters. Consider this: More than half of the 71 members of Forbes' list of the World's Most Powerful People attended the same 11 schools. Maybe these top schools are truly able to make people great –or perhaps their reputations attract people who would go on to achieve greatness anyway. Either way, they're the schools that make the people that matter.
Maybe it's simply that a lot of them are already related to rich and powerful people… or the network/social connections that they make by being a student there provide them a leg up?
More often it's who you know rather than what you know that counts.
It's not schools that make people that matter…. as there are thousands that matter who never attended even *simple* colleges and not so famous, for sure… those persons make many others' lives better… giving them a job and a shelter… THIS is what matters. It's called Attitude and has really so very little to do with the mentioned eleven schools. My point is, you should modify this part: "make the people that matter." Cheers!
I think greatness is what you make of yoursef it has little or nothing to do with the school you attended.Not also forgeting the fact that the school also equipt and package us for the "outside world"challenges!
What about Imran Khan? Herard of him Mr. David M. Ewalt? A wikipedia search will give better results than your research.
A lot of rich and powerful people never saw the inside of these institutions.
This argument of your is not worth the paper that Forbes is printed on.
'….people that matter'? Whoa.. that's a shocking choice of words. Who decides who 'matters'?This list is simply a testimony to the adage.. 'Success begets success'. These institutions are a magnet for people that move to positions of power, not 'people that matter'. That is like saying that only politicians and millionaires deserve to live.
Quite the interesting list, in fact it seems quite rigged..first of all, Michael Bloomberg attended the Johns Hopkins University as an undergrad for 4 years. Similarly, Jamie Dimon attended Tufts University as an undergrad. Why are these schools neglected or had they no part in making these people "great"?
Greatness is not defined by the institutions one goes in quest for education but greatness is brought about by the undying stamina within oneself to makes ends meet and reach for greatness.
As Henry Ward Beecher said "Greatness lies, not in being strong, but in the right using of strength, and strenght is not used rightly when it serves only to carry a man above his fellows for his own solitary glory. He is the greatest whose strength carries up the most hearts by the attraction of his own. "
S o the elite schools will not define my greatness but I myself will.
I want my daughter to attend one of these colleges coz she so brilliant
I was at Harvard in the 60′s for a while I dropped out because academia wasn't my game. I am a creative person and have spent my life in showbiz and the media. Most of the folk I met there were from wealthy and politically powerful families, it was nothing to do with good grades,etc moreso who they knew and mixed with and mostly because of their Father's connections with the school's ruling class and oh yes that in itself is the most important factor ! Harvard is like a private yacht and you have to be in with the captain and senior officers to slide through just like the Kennedy's did. It's all about the status quo nothing else ! It has to be mentioned that some of the biggest birdbrins I ever encounted were at Harvard, Oxford, Yale,Princeton and Stanford. The greek frats and sororities sole objectives were to meet the richest match they could……..nothing to do with romance ! Some of the smartest people on the Planet like Henry Ford managed fine WITHOUT academia which from what Iv'e seen is just a BIG social meat market and welfare organizations for professorial idiots….who couldn't get hired to collect garbage otherwise ! Give me some capital and I'll fly by them all in neutral !
$3 million and I will make a movie Spielberg will wish he had ! Yes I do write my own screenplays and with me mediocre and failure is NOT an option !
My mind is a creative wilderness and I have the on line credentials to back it up !
It's not the University that makes people its the individual that makes it.
This power factories "ranking" is pointless. First of all, there is no such thing as the "71″ most powerful people in the World. There are hundreds of CEOs, heads of state, scientists, spiritual leaders, etc…Limiting to field to 71, or 710 or even 7,100 is impossible. Secondly, with the exception of two or three universities, virtually every single one of those "Power Factories" has "produced" 1 or 2 alums on that list. Is there a difference between producing two, one or none? Let us remember that those universities have over 100,000 living alums. It is way too random.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. real gross domestic product for the third quarter was revised to an increase of 1.8% annualized from the earlier estimate of a 2.0% rise, the Commerce Department said Thursday. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected third-quarter growth to be unrevised at a 2.0% rate. The downward revision to third-quarter GDP was largely due to weaker consumer spending. A key measure of inflation was revised higher. The core personal consumption index, which excludes food and energy prices, increased 2.1% up from 2.0% reported earlier. Corporate profits before-tax were revised lower. Corporate profits before-tax increased 1.2% quarter-to-quarter, down from the 1.6% gain reported earlier.

It's not exactly breaking news, but The Hockey News' annual yearbook is out, complete with its ranking of the top fifty players in the NHL (see last year's rankings here), and here's their pick for number one:
Three other Caps made the top fifty as well (rankings and blurbs - presented without comment - below):
22. Mike Green. He gained 25 pounds last season when he sat out with a shoulder injury, but that didn't prevent Green from leading all defensemen in goals. His playoff performance exposed his defensive flaws, but what he lacks in his game can be taught. What he has, can't be.
27. Nicklas Backstrom. With 121 assists in his first two seasons, Backstrom has undoubtedly benefitted from playing with the NHL's best goal-scorer in Ovechkin. But who's to say Ovechkin would have this many goals if not for Backstrom's great passes?
40. Alexander Semin. There was a time last season when Ovechkin wasn't only not the best player on the Capitals, he wasn't even the best Alex. That designation belonged to Semin, who increased his production over 2007-08 by 37 points and his plus-minus by 43 (from minus-18 to plus-25).

Jake Hogan, Minooka. Fall sports photo day at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Illinois, Sunday, November 18, 2012. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun Times Media
Jake Hogen isn't your typical high school basketball star. He's more worried about where to go attend college — for pre-med, not necessarily for basketball. He's hoping the Indians snap a two-game losing streak to stay competitive with Oswego East, Plainfield East and Plainfield North in the Southwest Prairie Conference. Minooka is in a four-way tie for second place in the league.
Most coaches look at you as one of the leading players in the Southwest Prairie, maybe even the area. How do you react to that?
To an extent, I like to think I've garnered a lot of respect around here, but I still have a lot to earn. I feel I can earn a lot more this year and it's my time to shine.
Do you feel pressure on your now that you're a senior?
I do, to a certain extent, but not too much where it would hinder my play. It just keeps me driven.
Last year Minooka won 20 games for the first time since the 1970s. Do you guys talk about Minooka basketball prior to this decade?
Our coach [Scott Tanaka] got here about five years ago and he was told by a lot of people that he can't win at Minooka. He's trying to foster a winning attitude, so we can go year in and year out and we can get 20 wins instead of it just happening in one year. We want to make it a tradition.
Isn't Minooka known more as a football school?
It is, and it's more baseball and wrestling as well. Before [Tanaka] got here that's all people cared about. But we're just trying to make it a basketball school.
Is it hard for an athlete who isn't in those marquee sports to get noticed?
It almost helped me because I felt like I had to improve and get respect from people around the school. You get your respect by what you put in.

The days of lugging around fistfuls of quarters to feed hungry parking meters, or circling the block repeatedly in search of a parking space, could be nearing an end for downtown motorists.
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation has begun installing 10,000 high-tech parking meters throughout the city that allow for credit and debit card payment, in addition to coins. And next year, the downtown area will host an experimental program that aims to take much of the hassle out of parking.

Peacemaking in Civil War: International Mediation in Zimbabwe, 1974-1980Book
Stephen J. Stedman - Stanford University
Published by
Lynne Rienner Publishers, 1991
Hardcover (978-1-55587-200-7) - $42.00
Challenging the literatures on war termination, civil war, and revolution--which typically dismiss the possibility of negotiated settlement--Stephen Stedman examines the problem of negotiations during civil wars and demonstrates that third party mediation can help resolve such conflicts.
Stedman analyzes four international attempts to mediate a settlement to the Zimbabwean civil war of the 1970s and compares the three failed negotiations--the 1974-1975 Kenneth Kaunda/John Vorster "detente" exercise, the Henry Kissinger mediation that led to the Geneva conference of 1976, and the Anglo-American initiatives of David Owen and Cyrus Vance in 1977-1978--with the successful 1979 Lancaster House Conference on Rhodesia, chaired by Lord Carrington. Drawing on primary sources not available previously, his discussion of the factors that distinguish the failures from the successful attempt is a major contribution to conflict resolution theory, particularly with reference to the work of William Zartman. A final chapter considers the lessons of the Zimbabwe experience for South Africa today.

You've only got a week until you have to take your test! Are you nervous yet? If you are, don't feel bad—most students are. That's why the most important thing you can do right now is to have a relaxing, confidence-boosting week.
An attitude of confidence is what you need to ensure a high score on your SAT or ACT. It can seem hard to feel confident if you are not sure how to spend this final week. Feeling stressed out is the last thing that is going to help you achieve a high score.
You've already spent plenty of time with study and SAT practice. You shouldn't stop that. But there are a few other things you should focus on this week, as well.
Remove Stress
The keyword for this week is "Stress Free". You will think more clearly if your mind is at ease. There are a few things you can do to remove some stress and feel more relaxed.
You'll definitely want to make sure you exercise this week. Exercise is one of the best ways to de-stress and relax. Exercise boosts your endorphin level, while improving circulation to your brain. This ensures you feel better and are better able to perform mental tasks. Will it also help you sleep and boost your immune system (see below).
So if you already exercise, try putting in a little extra this week. And if you don't exercise much, make an effort to—even if it's just walking for half an hour every day.
If you feel overwhelmed with homework, ask for help. Most teachers understand the stress students feel when prepping for these exams. Ask for an extension on an assignment that is due that week. This will relieve stress by allowing you to stay focused on the exam.
Take Care of Your Health
Take extra good care of your health this week. Don't get so lost in your test prepping that you neglect yourself. Eat some comfort food if you like, but make sure you're eating extra healthy as well. Too much junk food will keep you from thinking as clearly as you need to, and can disturb your sleep.
Get plenty of sleep. Creating a set routine for sleep this week will help. A lot of times the night before the exam you may have a hard time sleeping due to stress. If you create a routine, and ensure you get plenty of rest the whole week, you will have an easier time the night before.
Don't Cram
Keep your study habits the same. Don't give in to the pressure of feeling the need to cram in more study time. This creates stress, and won't actually improve your test score either!
Cramming may work—temporarily—for tests where you have to remember specific information. But for the SAT and other tests that measure your overall ability, cramming will only tire you out and make you feel stressed—two things that won't help your score at all!
At this point, you've probably spent plenty of time with SAT practice tests and other study aids. While you shouldn't give up working on them, there is really no need to jeopardize your test-taking ability with the stress of cramming, either.
It's natural to feel anxious on the week of your SAT test. But this week doesn't have to be stressful. Get exercise and ask for help when you need it; take care of yourself by sleeping and eating well; and don't tax your brain by cramming, because it won't help your SAT performance, and may even hurt it.
Good luck!

This is what it looks like When a mob of believers act out on their fevers And act in the place of the law This is what it looks like When a person's attacked for beliefs that are lacked And when public emotions are raw This is religion in government. This is religion by force …

WAGONER – Three numbers defined Friday night's Class 4A playoff contest between Wagoner and Fort Gibson – 6, 9, and 327.
All favored Wagoner.
Wagoner's Lawrence Evitt rushed for 327 yards and four touchdowns and the Bulldogs' defense came up with six Tiger turnovers as Wagoner defeated Fort Gibson, 28-7, at W. L. Odom Stadium.
It was the ninth straight year that No. 2 Wagoner has opened the playoffs with a win. The Bulldogs will host Woodward next Friday in a second-round contest.
"The world is still in order," said Wagoner coach Dale Condict. "They played us exactly like we thought they would. It wasn't until we went up 28-7 that I could breathe a little."
For Fort Gibson it was another close loss to a top-10 team. The Tigers could have taken control of the game early on but turnovers stopped almost certain scoring drives on their first two possessions.
"We had our chances," said Fort Gibson coach James Singleton. "We work on ball security all the time. We just had some misfortune. In a game like this on a stage like this you can't do that against a team like Wagoner."
And then there was the running back that everyone has attempted to shut down this season but no one has had much luck with.
After Wagoner recovered a Fort Gibson fumble at the Bulldog 21, Evitt electrified the home crowd on his fifth rush going 58 yards to give Wagoner a 7-0 lead with 4:42 left in the first quarter.
The Tigers were on the verge of tying the game when Wagoner forced a fumble at the 1-yard line. Three plays later it was Evitt again, going 80 yards to make it 14-0 early in the second.
Triston Johnson finished with 192 yards rushing for Fort Gibson rushing for 112 of those in the first half. His punishing rushing attack helped the Tigers take advantage of Wagoner's only turnover of the game. Johnson rushed for 32 yards on the drive to set up J.R. Singleton's 34-yard pass to Zach Drain to cut the lead to 14-7 with 1:47 remaining in the second quarter.
"They were hurting us with the run game," Condict said. "We took some bad angles on some of their runs. But we made adjustments at halftime and I thought our run defense got better as the game went on."
Fort Gibson rushed for 166 yards in the first half but was limited to just 66 yards in the second half. However, the Tigers started the third quarter by moving the ball into Wagoner territory only to have the drive stalled with a fumble.
Condict said that Evitt had problems with cramps for the first time all year. But, not even that could slow down Wagoner's star back. Evitt gave Wagoner a 21-7 lead late in the third with a 68-yard rush untouched up the middle.
Perhaps any hope of a Fort Gibson rally was dashed early in the fourth. Singleton hit Hayden Perry for a 24-yard pass completion to ignite a drive that wound up as a fourth-and-two at the Wagoner 7. The Bulldog defense flexed its muscle and stopped Fort Gibson a yard short.
A. J. Freeth, who recovered an onside kick in the first half, came up with a fumble recovery at the Fort Gibson 12 to set up Wagoner's final drive. Evitt finished his night with a 2-yard run that closed the scoring at 28-7.
"We never question our kids effort," Singleton said. "We fought the entire game. I just hope our younger players can learn from this experience."
Fort Gibson 0 7 0 0–7
Wagoner 7 7 7 7–28

Xin is leaving after Book 2
Everyone who has been following this comic all along has watched us go through a lot of tough times. This, unfortunately, is another one. Xin is departing as Erfworld's primary illustrator after the current books have wrapped up. I asked her to put it in her own words, and here's what she wrote.
Hi everyone,
You might have noticed the pages have been severely off schedule for the last few months. It is entirely my fault, and I regret to say that this is a problem that is unlikely to have a solution on my end. The truth is, Erfworld is a challenging comic to illustrate, with many panels per page that need to be filled with armies of detailed characters on lush backgrounds. I've given my all to live up to its needs, and give you the best comic I can, but recent events have shown me that I may never really be able to give Erfworld what it needs.
The reason, of course, is the situation with my family. Not too long ago, I used to rely on their strength as I tried to fulfill my dreams as an illustrator. However, after my mother's death in late 2011, that situation changed. As time passes, it is surprising to find out just how much my mother did for all of us on a constant basis. She really can't be replaced, both in a professional sense and in a day to day sense. In trying to fill the gaps I've found many things that need my constant attention to keep them from falling apart. Now, it's my family that needs to rely on me.
Originally I hoped I would be able to take care of both my family and Erfworld at once, but it has proven to be beyond my abilities and energy. And, it's getting harder to keep up – recently my responsibilities in the family business have increased, leaving me a few days less each week to spend on anything else. Since my parents' generosity was the only that made working on Erfworld possible for me, I couldn't refuse.
I will no longer be able to continue illustrating Erfworld after this book. There's so much wonderful story that Rob needs to tell, but I keep holding everything up. It's extremely unfair to all of you who have waited so patiently for every page for me to hold the comic back. (Not to mention all the things I promised to place in the toolbox and never fulfilled...) That is why, after the continual delays, I thought it would be best to get someone professional that can dedicate their time to getting updates out on time and allow me to focus my energy on my family who need me.
I will be eternally grateful for all the love and encouragement that you have given me despite the inconsistency the past three years. I hope you guys will give the new illustrator, whoever they may be, as much support as you gave me.
To be clear, I will finish all the pages for Book 2. I will try to get as close to a page a week as I can, but if the past few months are any indication the chances of that happening are not good. You will have to suffer through with me a bit longer...
I've known this was coming since last October or so, but I didn't feel the time was right to make an announcement about it until we found the right artist to carry the series forward. After vetting about a dozen candidates, I believe that we do, but I'll make more posts about that in a little while.
For now, please join me in expressing huge gratitude for everything Xin has brought to this comic. I'm going to miss working with her, but she'll stick around in certain capacities. She's working with the new illustrator, she'll be doing Erfworld (and other) commissioned art, and she'll still be someone I can talk to when I need to work out the tangles in the story.
Thank you, Xin. You have brought amazing new dimensions to Erfworld. Your command of characters and settings, of the emotional undertones inherent in facial expressions and body language, and your extraordinary attention to detail has raised the comic to its highest heights. And you've been the best sounding board for story that I have ever had, on any writing project. It's been an amazing 3 1/2 years, and I wish you and your family all the peace and happiness in the world.

North Korea now has at least one missile in the firing position, but the United States does not know why they have not yet launched it.
According to CNN, U.S. Intelligence suspects that North Korea is "messing with" other countries that are watching them with this move but South Korea and the U.S. are taking the threats seriously.
Intelligence from the Pentagon reports that North Korea may be planning "multiple missile launches" in the next few days.
The U.S. and Japan have satellites that can track the missiles, and will have to make the decision to shoot them down if this issue escalates.
North Korea has threatened to use nuclear tactics should the U.S show any sign of force in light of the B-2 stealth bombers that flew over South Korea.
A photo has also surfaced of a mapped out "U.S Mainland Strike."
I don't know about you but the idea of seeing a potential world war in my lifetime is so nerve-wrecking and scary...

Game 27: Bucks 5, Rayz 4 (OT)
December 23, 2006 3:59 AM
This was a very entertaining game to watch, that's for sure. Definitely on the short list of best Corpus-Laredo games I've seen over the years.
--- I don't think anyone in the rink would've envisioned this game going to OT after watching the first 72 seconds. It had me thinking of this game almost instantly. The irony is I think the deer-corn delay after the second goal gave McRae a free timeout and helped him settle the Rayz down for the rest of the game.
--- You never hear this about a goalie who let in five, but I thought Zelenewich played very well. He made plenty of big saves that allowed Corpus to stay in the game and the game doesn't go to OT if he doesn't stop Thomas on the breakaway and Bes in close with five seconds left in regulation. Tough break for the winner to go off Johnson and between Zelenewich's legs. Reiter, on the other hand, gave up two very bad goals (the second one after his horrendous turnover playing the puck and McIver's shorty were horrific).
--- The Rayz gave up too many staring-down-the-barrel-of-the-gun chances in this one. Laredo could've scored 10 times and Corpus was fortunate for a couple of hit posts and missed opportunities. But the game was as close as it was mostly because of Zelenewich's work.
--- Nice job by the Rayz to battle back from three different deficits. And they had chances to go ahead late in regulation, but Turek was stopped from the slot and Weidlich made a great diving play to break up Stayzer's pass on a 2-on-1 down low with 30 seconds left in regulation. And how huge was that save on Pelletier's breakaway coming out of the box in the waning moments of the second?
--- I don't know how Carter got credited with the first Corpus goal. It looked like Lindberg's pass/shot went off Rivet's skate and into the net. That was a helluva shot by Powell on the second Rayz goal, as two Bucks defenders had collapsed into the crease and he had to thread the puck in between them. Also, the goal to tie the game in the third was vintage Baird. Gorgeous wrist shot from in close that went high glove.
--- Everyone knows I think highly of Steve Cruickshank (and enjoyed catching up with him in the media room), and this game had his fingerprints all over it. He let them play, and the game had its Wild West moments with some eyebrow-raising non-calls. The only real questionable call was the Quenneville trip that led to a power-play goal. And Cruicker didn't hesitate to call dives on both teams.
--- The Bucks had a Tejano music hall of fame singer (his name escapes me) do the national anthem and this man's rendition included the lyrics "through the ramparts." Yikes.
--- Can anyone figure out this league where Lubbock can shut out Laredo and then get worked over by New Mexico?
--- I wouldn't believe Austin holding Youngstown to two regulation goals in two games up there.
--- Rio opens up a can on Odessa. Dolson gave up one goal on two shots? Why even bother to put him in there at that point (unless there was an injury to Gorman, of course)?
--- And of course Shreveport's offense would go off with Carroll out. Nice gong show action there. And is Milan Vodrazka now Vodrazka Milan?
--- The Surge? Who's the Surge?
--- Finally, a must read on Blog favorite Ken Hitchcock.
GREAT article about Hitchcock.
Gorman was injured. He came out to square up to a driving Maxwell, caught a rut in the ice and rolled his ankle. That was the story I received. So I guess it is Dolson in Corpus tonight.
Ditto on the Hitch. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
I think both teams could have put the game away in the first period. The Bucks could have ended the game early after two quick goals. The Rayz would have gone into the first intermission with a 3-2 lead if they had connected on a sure-to-be-a-goal pass in the final seconds of the first. Good job by the Rayz to come back after the early deficit, and a great job by the Bucks to seal the game before a shootout.
San Antonio Surge?
Considering the Rayz played poorly on D, according to McRae's comment in the paper, it's a good sign in spite of that they still had a chance to win. It still takes your A game to beat the Bucks but at least we know they are beatable. Great job Zelenewich making enough big saves to keep the team in the game. Greg, while I have the chance here have a Merry and safe Christmas. Same to all the posters who help make this blog the great thing it is.

A sticky toffee pudding for the grown-ups. Rich fruit sponge is covered with a toffee sauce infused with the light floral flavours of Lady Grey.
290ml/10fl oz boiling water
2 Lady Grey tea bags
50g/1¾oz dried figs
100g/3½oz dried, pitted dates
50g/1¾oz dried apricots
55g/2oz lightly salted butter, plus extra for greasing
170g/6oz dark brown muscovado sugar
1 tbsp golden syrup
2 large free-range eggs
200g/7oz self-raising flour
1 tsp mixed spice
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
few drops vanilla extract
225g/8oz butter, chopped
300g/10½oz dark muscovado sugar
200ml/7fl oz double cream
For the sponge puddings, grease six non-stick pudding moulds and preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Pour the boiling water over the tea bags and set aside for five minutes to allow the tea to infuse.
In a food processor, blend the infused water with the figs, dates and apricots until you have a loose paste. Add the remaining ingredients and blend to a thick batter.
Divide the mixture between the moulds and place on a baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
For the toffee sauce, in a pan over a medium heat warm the butter, sugar and cream, stirring continuously until all the sugar has dissolved. Bring to a rolling boil for two minutes, again stirring constantly. Sieve into a bowl and set aside.
To serve, turn out the puddings onto the serving plates and drizzle over the toffee sauce.
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).
The baking challenge is back, welcoming the tent's youngest-ever baker and the oldest.

A wide range of backgrounds is available to display behind lyrics using the video output of the iPhone. The library of songs is always growing, with different genres, keys, and other features coming soon. You can even request/suggest a song for iSingWorship to prepare.

Sfenj are Moroccan doughnuts made by deep frying a sticky, unsweetened yeast dough. They can be purchased from street vendors, who use skewers to remove the freshly made sjenj from the oil. Sfenj should be eaten warm, either plain or dusted with sugar, for breakfast or tea time.
The dough for sfenj should be quite sticky. Allow 3 to 4 hours rising time.
Yields 8 to 10 three-inch sfenj.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
- 3 cups flour
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cup warm water
- -------------------------------
- vegetable oil, for frying
- sugar, for garnish (optional)
Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and set aside.
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the water and yeast mixture, and stir vigorously with your hand or a spoon until smooth. The dough should be too sticky to knead or shape, almost like a batter.
Cover the bowl, and leave the dough to rise for three to four hours, until double or triple in bulk.
In a wide pot, heat an inch or more of vegetable oil until hot. Dip your hands in water, and pull off a piece of dough about the size of a small plum. Use your fingers to make a hole in the ball of dough, stretch the hole wide to make a ring, and place the dough in the hot oil.
Repeat with the remaining dough, wetting your hands as necessary to keep the dough from sticking as you work with it.
Fry the sfenj until golden brown, turning once or twice. Remove the cooked sfenj to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Serve the sfenj hot. If desired, dip the sfenj in sugar to sweeten them.

Besides trying to hack their own systems, what should sys admins do to stop malicious hackers?
Stay on top of the latest attack trends by browsing security Web sites that [keep] track of the latest vulnerabilities. Keep patches current. That sounds simple, but it's a tough job for a system administrator in a large organization. Unfortunately, updating is an ongoing process. What are the common tricks of the hacker trade?
Malicious hackers zero in on products' security vulnerabilities. In general, they love to take advantage [of] poor programming practices that allow them to execute code on a target machine. Buffer overflows are a favorite.
Malicious hackers love to take advantage of companies that have unknowing users executing programs. The users are susceptible to malicious hackers' favorite trick of sending someone an e-mail that says, 'Hey, run this program!' or 'Hey, check out this cute dancing baby!' This is an easy way to bypass your firewall and any security mechanisms you have in place. What else should corporate systems administrators do every day to protect their systems?
Frequently analyze your software's defense mechanisms. Don't wait for an attacker to find and exploit an existing problem. Research the tools and products that are installed in the system on a continual basis. Don't just rely on the vendor or consultant to find and fix problems.
This is where having hacking skills comes in handy. Say, if I'm running
FEEDBACK: Would your enterprise hire a hacker?
Send your feedback to the SearchEnterpriseLinux.com news team.
System administrators who know how to hack can protect themselves against hackers. They shouldn't let themselves live in fear, uncertainty and doubt, not knowing if there is a weakness that hackers can exploit. With hacking skills, they can be proactive. They can take apart their devices in their lab to find vulnerabilities. They can try and break into their own systems.
In order to stop a hacker, you have to think like one. You have to understand the mindset of the attacker and what they are trying to do to gain access to your system. I am an electrical engineer by trade, and I look at hardware products and try to find their security problems. I've found that most product designers in the industry don't have any insight into the hacker community, so their products end up with vulnerabilities. The designers and administrators need to be able to understand the attacks in order to protect their products and systems against them. What sort of relationship do Linux and hacking have?
Linux and hacking, meaning hacking in a good sense, basically go hand in hand. Linus [Torvalds] and his open source developers work on lots of different pieces of Linux code and share their hacks with a community. For example, people modify their Linux-based devices to do something that they weren't intended to do or to add some sort of personal touch to them. Then they share what they did. They couldn't do that with closed operating systems like Windows.
With Linux, you get a lot of low-level control of the operating system. So, if you want to implement codes on your own, run Linux. A lot of Linux hackers like to be able to modify certain parameters or source codes, or they might want to know how a program is running on their system. With Linux and open source applications, you can actually look through source code and make sure [you know what] the operating system or application is doing. They're not at the mercy of those closed black-box software packages. When is hacking a good thing?
The words hacking and hacker got a negative connotation though the media, but 'hacking' started as a term for modifying hardware or software to do something that it wasn't intended to do, or improve it. For instance, patching a piece of software could be a hack. The media has totally twisted it into just being a criminal activity. Hacking should be a harmless activity in which you are not committing a crime. Hacking can be totally legal if you do it within certain boundaries.

TERRE HAUTE, IND. -- Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology will learn its NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament first-round opponent, site and game time on Monday shortly after 12:30 p.m.
The Fightin' Engineers earned an automatic bid to this year's 62-team NCAA Division III Tournament with a 64-59 win over Hanover College in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament championship game on Saturday night at Hulbert Arena.
The NCAA Division III selection show will be streamed live online on Monday at 12:30 p.m. The show will include the bracket release for the 62-team tournament field and the 31 first-round matchups that are scheduled for Saturday March 2. The NCAA will release both the matchups and the game sites for first-round action as part of the selection show.
The 62-team tournament field will include 42 team receiving automatic bids as conference champions; one squad receiving a bid as the top independent or champion from a non-qualifying conference; and 19 at-large bids. Teams earning at-large bids will also be named during the selection show.
Rose-Hulman has formally applied to host NCAA Division III Tournament games this year. The NCAA uses a criteria combining team seeding, facility quality, local community hotel and restaurant options, and attendance history to determine which institutions will host first-round games.
Rose-Hulman has tied a school record with 24 wins this season, matching the 1976-77 team that reached the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. The Fightin' Engineers continue to lead NCAA Division III in scoring defense, allowing just 50.7 points per game.
The men's basketball team will make its 10th NCAA Division III Tournament appearance and has reached postseason play for the second consecutive year. The Rose-Hulman men's basketball history includes nine regular season conference titles and three league tournament championships.
The 2012-13 campaign marks the first time in Fightin' Engineer men's basketball history that the team has won regular season and conference tournament titles in the same season.

NORMAN — Two more people were charged Monday in Cleveland County District Court for a robbery that occurred in January during which a Norman man was shot.
Andrew Scott Kembel, 24, and Marquiloh Donte Williams, 20, both of Norman, were charged with robbery with a weapon, shooting with intent to kill and first-degree burglary in concert with James Lehman.
Lehman, 19, was charged in April for assault and battery with a deadly weapon and conjoint robbery with Kembel and Williams. He bonded out of jail on a $200,000 bond the same day he was charged.
The three allegedly robbed, burglarized and shot Phillip Thomas Wren at his northwest Norman home Jan. 25.
According to affidavits filed with the charges, Williams told detectives he met up with Kembel and Lehman before the incident. The two offered to pay him to knock on Wren's door and call them once he was inside the residence.
When Williams knocked on the door, he told Wren his vehicle had broken down and asked to use his phone to call a friend. He called Lehman's cell phone using Wren's phone and told him he was inside the house. The call was later discovered to be the cue for Lehman and Kembel to advance on the house, the affidavit said.
After the phone call, Wren offered to help Williams push the vehicle to the side of the road. As they were pushing the vehicle, Lehman and Kembel approached Wren in ski masks, brandishing a handgun and a rifle, the affidavit said.
They pointed their guns at him and ordered him back to his residence. As they were walking back, Lehman hit Wren on the chin with the handgun, leaving a gash, the affidavit said. Wren said Williams then joined the other two in escorting him to his residence.
When Wren entered his home, he tried to shut his front door and lock it to keep Lehman and Kembel out, but they forced their way in. When they entered, Lehman began shooting at him with his rifle, the affidavit states.

Our hearts are full of sadness and love and support for all the families and those who work at Sandy Hook Elementary School. We pray for all the children and grown-ups who lost their lives.
Teachers and parents in Newtown, and also throughout the country and around the world, will be coping with their children's questions and fears, not only now, but for many weeks, and sometimes much longer, about this traumatic and tragic event. I recently contributed to a post for the Responsive blog that includes many ideas for people who work in schools – here, as an additional means of support, I would like to reference some of the behavioral responses elementary-age children may exhibit that may affect their coping and learning.
Awareness of these possibilities can help teachers and parents work together to support students and suggest to principals, district administrators and state and federal officials ways to provide support for our teachers. (See additional references at end of post.)
- Children may revert to behaviors that may seem "babyish," such as thumb-sucking, rocking, hair-twisting, humming, baby-talking. These are natural, self-soothing behaviors, remembered from earlier years, bringing comfort to the child and serving as communication to us that the child is coping with their stress and may need additional comfort from adults or a lessening of tension in the immediate environment.
- Children may seem to be less responsive to direction, to occasionally not be listening, to not always remember simple routines, to sometimes be more easily upset when redirected.
- Children may not be able to always remember content and facts they have recently learned, take more time to solve problems, seem sometimes to be searching for answers when asked to answer a question, appear to be more anxious than usual in testing situations.
- Children may have more somatic complaints, tummy aches, headaches, specific worries about their bodies, e.g. "My wrist really hurts!"
- Children may be more impulsive or sensitive with peers in social situations or group work, may cry more often, raise their voices, or, at the other extreme, withdraw more frequently from arguing.
Please note that I have used the word "may" to characterize all these possible responses. Some children will show none of these signs, perhaps just seem a little quieter or a little edgy. This does not necessarily mean they are not dealing with stressful thoughts, but they may be coping in ways that draws less attention. Below, I have listed two exceptional resource pages with more detailed information:
From the National Association of School Psychologists:

THE SCREENING ROOM: "Katie" Welcomes Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Betty White and Georgia Engel (Video)
By Andrew Gans
The April 8 broadcast of Katie Couric's new talk show "Katie" featured a reunion of the female cast members of the award-winning situation comedy "The Mary Tyler Moore Show."
Host Couric welcomed actresses Mary Tyler Moore, Valerie Harper, Cloris Leachman, Betty White and Georgia Engel, who all appeared on the Emmy-winning sitcom set in Minneapolis.
The five actresses just reunited for an upcoming episode of White's TVLand series "Hot in Cleveland." That episode will air in September.
Harper, who played Rhoda on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show," revealed last month that she is battling brain cancer. Harper's MTM co-stars recently expressed their affection for her.

JPD finds suspect in business
While Jeffersonville Police Department detectives were at S&S Brothers Jewelry and Repair on East 10th Street Monday investigating a theft possibly committed by John Hensley, 35, address unknown, their suspect walked into the front door of the business.
JPD Detective Todd Hollis, one of the investigators in the business at the time, said he recognized Hensley as a person of interest and later determined he had arrived at the jewelry store in a stolen vehicle.
Hensley was taken into custody at the business and transported to JPD for questioning.
Hensley is believed to be involved in four home burglaries in Jeffersonville, Hollis said.
Hollis said the cases remain open as police are attempting to locate the proper owners of property found on Henley's person and in the stolen car he was driving.
Hensley has been preliminarily charged with four counts residential burglary and four counts conspiracy to commit burglary, all class B felonies, and D felony automobile theft.
Police: Intoxicated woman drives into yard
The Clarksville Police Department responded to a home in the 1600 block of McTavish Drive about 9 p.m. July 3 in response to a report of a vehicle that had been driven into the yard of residence.
The homeowner reported there was a woman, later identified as Leah Hodges, 23, of 108 Orchard Hills Drive, Jeffersonville, walking around the vehicle with no shoes on, police reported.
"Upon arrival the female was inside her vehicle attempting to back out of the yard when I pulled in behind her," according to the report.
The officer noted in the report, "It was very apparent that [Hodges] was on some type of narcotics due to the fact that she could not control her body movements and her arms and feet were jumping all around."
The officer also saw Hodges with needle marks and bruising on her arms.
