Ambulatory Electrocardiogram
An ambulatory electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) records the electrical activity of your heart while you do your usual activities. Ambulatory monitors are referred to by several names, including ambulatory electrocardiogram, ambulatory EKG, Holter monitoring, 24-hour EKG, or cardiac event monitoring.
Many heart problems become noticeable only during activity, such as exercise, eating, sex, stress, bowel movements, or even sleeping. A continuous 24-hour recording is more likely to detect any abnormal heartbeats that occur during these activities.
Many people have irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) from time to time. The importance of irregular heartbeats depends on the type of pattern they produce, how often they occur, how long they last, and whether they occur at the same time you have symptoms. Because arrhythmias can occur off and on, it may be difficult to record an arrhythmia while you are in the doctor's office.
There are several different types of ambulatory monitors.
Continuous recorders
The most common type is the continuous recorder (such as the Holter monitor). It provides a 24- to 72-hour record of the electrical signals from your heart. A standard EKG monitors only 40 to 50 heartbeats during the brief period you are attached to the machine. A continuous recorder monitors about 100,000 heartbeats in 24 hours and is likely to find any heart problems that happen with activity.
Another type of continuous recorder can be implanted under the skin of the chest. This recorder can be kept in your chest for more than a year to record the electrical signals from your heart.
Intermittent recorders
Another kind of ambulatory EKG monitoring is the intermittent recorder, which is used when symptoms of an abnormal heart rhythm do not occur very often. An intermittent recorder can be used for a longer time than a continuous recorder. The information collected by an intermittent recorder can often be sent over the phone to a doctor's office, clinic, or hospital.
Two types of intermittent recorders are available:
- Loop recorders. A loop recorder constantly records your heartbeats. When you have symptoms, you press a button on the monitor to record your heart rhythm. Loop recorders also save a small amount of information about how your heart was beating when you pressed the recording button (presymptom recording). This feature is especially useful for people who lose consciousness when their heart problems occur and can press the button only after they wake up.
- Event monitor. This small device is used only when symptoms of the heart problem occur. You are not attached to the machine. One type is worn on the wrist like a watch. When symptoms occur, you press a button to start the EKG recording. The other type is a device that you carry where you can reach it easily, such as in your purse or pocket. When symptoms occur, you press the back of the device against your chest and then press a button to start the recording. The back of the device has small metal discs that work like electrodes. These handheld monitors can be very small (some are about the size and shape of a credit card).

""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 25, 2013
Stay was short. Very late check-in. Had difficulty with door handle to open door! Breakfast was great. Really good. Friendly and courteous staff. Would stay again. Thanks. Excellent location in my opinion.
"Quiet area"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 20, 2013
The hotel was away from the hustle and bustle of Morgantown, but close enough to get there within minutes. Resort was nice with the amenities included of pool, fitness, suana and gold, however due to the short visit and activities we had going on unable to use them. Rooms seems a liittle dated and it would have been nice to have a fridge & microwave in room, even thou not stated there was. Cheapr hotel we stayed in previous night at least included those. Room was comfortable, but the housekeeping was lacking. Very little toilet paper on roll and no addition roll left. Housekeeping took away used towels on first day and did not replace them or coffee supplies. Found that the be annoying for such a nice place.

"Just off the highway, very close to collegetown"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 18, 2013
The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. I asked for synthetic pillows and got them. The room was clean and the heater worked well. They had an individually packaged razor, shaving cream, toothpaste, comb and a few extras I don't remember in the bathroom already. Those are things I have to ask for if I forget them. That was a nice touch. The rooms were accessed from the inside, and that was very nice because it was freezing outside. They have a bar with fried snacks after hours and a large dining room where they serve a continental + breakfast buffet. The breakfast attendant was friendly and brought coffee to our tables. Breakfast is complimentary with room reservation. The decor and furnishings showed the hotel was built and decorated in the 1980s. It was well-kept and clean. I thought it was charming - it reminded me of my early childhood.
"Fantastic stay"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013
There were a few mistakes when booking our reservation online, but Mark the hotel manager did everything he could to go over and above and make sure we got into our room and got exactly what we needed. Very good employee, very good hotel!!! The stay was wonderful. We weren't in town for pleasure, but a little human kindness can really make things a pleasure!

Customer Reviews for Fabric Dining Room White / Off-White Blindsgalore Blackout
"Very Happy"
By Gina from IL
I purchased these cordless blinds for our bedroom. They look great, the blackout feature is excellent, the directions for measuring were informative, and the installation was easy. In addition these were a great value and shipping was fast.
View this product"This company rocks"
By David CPA from Barrington IL
First of all, this is a replacement of another door covering that just didn't work. I'm blown away that it was so easy to get a new CUSTOM order. Anyway, this works fantastic in our theater room to block out light. We wanted something durable as well to cover the door in case we have traffic in and out the back door. Good quality and looks good.

From EatingWell: December 2006, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Manhattan chowder is the red kind, made with disease-fighting lycopene-rich tomatoes. This version substitutes crab for the clams. To make it cook faster, take your time to finely dice the vegetables. We call for convenient canned crushed tomatoes, but you only need 2 cups; store leftover tomatoes in an airtight container for 1 week in the refrigerator or months in the freezer. Then take them out to toss into other soups or sauces—you can't go wrong with adding tomatoes, from a heart-health perspective! All you need is crusty bread or oyster crackers and a tossed salad and you've got dinner.

i dont know much about the serbian team but Armenia sent out their B team.. the reserve keeper did pretty good imo, sucks hes so short
I talked to Minassian (coach) after the Canada game and he said the Serbian game was not an official friendly. Since it did not affect the ratings he fielded a less than optimal team against a strong opponent. Besides, Yura, Araz and Roman arrived after the match so they were not available anyway.

The Melatonin Adjunct in the Acute myocaRdial Infarction Treated With Angioplasty (MARIA)
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Background: Experimental studies have documented the beneficial effects of the endogenously produced antioxidant, melatonin, in reducing tissue damage and limiting cardiac pathophysiology in models of experimental ischemia-reperfusion. Melatonin confers cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury most likely through its direct free radical scavenging activities and its indirect actions in stimulating antioxidant enzymes. These actions of melatonin permit it to reduce molecular damage and limit infarct size in experimental models of transient ischemia and subsequent reperfusion.
Study design: The Melatonin Adjunct in the acute myocaRdial Infarction treated with Angioplasty (MARIA) trial is an unicentric, prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study of the intravenous administration of melatonin. The primary efficacy end point of this study is to determine whether melatonin treatment reduces infarct size determined by the cumulative release of alpha-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase (area under the curve: 0 to 72 h). Other secondary end points will be the clinical events occurring within the first 90 days: death, sustained ventricular arrhythmias, resuscitation from cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, heart failure, major bleedings , stroke, need for revascularization, recurrent ischemia, re-infarctions and rehospitalization.
Implications: The MARIA trial tests a novel pharmacologic agent, melatonin, in patients with acute myocardial infarction and the hypothesis that it will confer cardioprotection against ischemia-reperfusion injury. If successful, the finding would support the use of melatonin in therapy of ischemic-reperfusion injury of the heart.

Four Tet
Kieran Hebden (born 1978), best known by the stage name Four Tet, is a post-rock and electronic musician. Hebden first came to prominence as a member of the band Fridge before establishing himself as a solo artist.
Hebden's music originally eschewed the traditional pop song format in favour of a more abstract approach—his sound and melodies incorporate elements of hip hop, electronica, techno, jazz, grime and folk music with live instrumentation. His newer works are inspired heavily by house music.

Strap in for some new-old voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Another 22 episodes will be in your orbit when the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation reenters the stratosphere on Blu-ray and DVD on Tuesday. And, hey, it's only been 22 years since the season's finale and 15 years since it was released on VHS! That's like nothing in light years, right?
Someone should go ask Data (Brent Spiner). Let's just call this set his showpiece. The most exciting entry (of many) in this set's special features is an extended version of the episode "The Measure of Man," in which Data must prove to a Starfleet court (with the help of Patrick Stewart's loyal, fatherly Captain Picard as his "lawyer") that he's a sentient being in order to prevent some corporate-paid mad-as-heck scientist from cracking open his head in order to study his positronic brain. This isn't just a longer episode — some scenes are shot entirely differently than in the broadcast version. Some you've never seen before. (You purists also get the original version and a hybrid copy with more extra material.)

I ordered the new iPad (3) wifi only, 16 GB, my first ever iPad off the Apple website and chose the free shipping. I've been watching the updates from the UPS website and see it will be delivered to my house by the end of the day Friday the 16th. Generally when I receive any shipments from UPS, it is after 5pm though I am not always home then. My question is, using the free shipping option from Apple, anyone here have any idea if they insist someone sign for such an expensive item or do they leave it on the porch if no one is home?
I ordered an iPad smart cover at the same time but they shipped it from a different location and I received it on Thursday, from FedEx instead of UPS and they just left it on my porch. I didn't mind since it is a lot cheaper than the new iPad. I am really excited to receive my first iPad and without standing in line!

Dictator Rafael Trujillo was born on October 24, 1891 in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic. He became president of the Dominican Republic in 1930 through political maneuvering and torture. He officially held the office until 1938, when he chose a puppet predecessor. He resumed his official position from 1942 to 1952, but continued to rule by force until his assassination on May 30, 1961.
"He who does not know how to deceive does not know how to rule."
Early Life
Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo was born Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina to a middle-class family on October 24, 1891 in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic. He and his 10 siblings were raised in a small rural town by parents of Spanish, Haitian and Dominican descent. As a child, Trujillo attended informal schools held in various villagers' homes. His education took place in fits and starts and was rudimentary at best. Because Trujillo hired someone to rewrite his family history once he came into power, the true facts of his background remain uncertain.
When Trujillo was 16 years old, he took a job as a telegraph operator. After joining a gang and committing a string of crimes, Trujillo was arrested for forging a check and subsequently lost his job. In 1916, Trujillo married his first wife, Aminta Ledesima, who would give him two daughters. In light of becoming a family man, Trujillo traded in his life of crime for a steady day job. At the end of 1916, he took a weigher position on a sugar plantation. Displaying leadership qualities, Trujillo was later promoted to private policeman on the plantation.
Military Career
By 1919, Trujillo was restless and eager to escape the monotony of his rural life. When the U.S. Marines, then occupying the Dominican Republic, offered him the opportunity to train as an officer for the country's first municipal police force, the Constabulary Guard, Trujillo jumped at the chance.
After completing his training, Trujillo quickly rose up the ranks. In 1924 he was made second-in-command of the guard and in June of 1925, he was promoted to commander-in-chief.
In early 1930, after Dominican President Horacio Vasquez faced revolts and a provisional government had been established, Trujillo named himself a candidate in the new presidential elections.
During Trujillo's campaign, he organized a secret police force to torture and murder supporters of the opposing candidate. Not surprisingly, Trujillo won the election by a landslide.
Shortly into Trujillo's first term, Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital, was devastated by a hurricane. Trujillo used the disaster as an excuse to impose martial law on all citizens. He also imposed "emergency taxes" and even seized the bank accounts of his opposition. Trujillo spent the next six years renovating the city and building several monuments in his own honor. Upon completing renovations, Trujillo renamed Santo Domingo "Ciudad Trujillo."
During his additional years in office, Trujillo continued to use his power for personal profit. He took total control of all major industries and financial institutions.

The planned 1970 South Africa tour of England divided the cricketing world, and left many grounds vandalised or surrounded with barbed wire
July 14, 2012
Related Links
| South Africa
The forthcoming Test series between England and South Africa has been keenly anticipated for some time, even if it has been unforgivably shortened to accommodate the home board's lust for cash. But 42 years ago the visit of the South Africans was a far from appealing proposition to many and the tour was eventually cancelled after a preceding winter of civil unrest and political squabbling. It was to be another 21 years before a South African team took the field again for an official match.
World opinion had been polarising against South Africa's apartheid regime through the 1960s, and while some sporting contacts with white countries remained, by the end of the decade it had become almost impossible for any South African team to tour overseas in an air of anything other than hostility.
In the autumn of 1968 a planned tour by the England side to South Africa had been cancelled because of the D'Oliveira affair. Despite that, the Australians had visited the Cape in 1969-70 and been thrashed 4-0 by a hugely impressive South Africa side that included Mike Procter, Barry Richards, Graeme Pollock and Eddie Barlow.
But ever since the 1968 cancellation there had been increasing disquiet at the prospect of the South Africans touring England in 1970, and it became a major concern after a tour by the Springboks rugby side in 1969-70 took place against a backdrop of violent demonstrations and civil disobedience. Games had been played in an often ugly atmosphere and security issues were highlighted when the team bus was hijacked en route to the England international at Twickenham.
Against this backdrop, the cricket establishment remained steadfast in its determination the tour should go ahead. The minutes of several meetings of the MCC and ICC show they were far more concerned with the impending metrication in the UK and how to cope with the change of pitch length from 22 yards to 20.12 metres and the weight of the ball weight from five and a half ounces to 155.8 grammes.
On December 12 the Test and County Cricket Board, the forerunner of the ECB, confirmed the tour would proceed, adding it was "averse to racial discrimination of any kind… and respected the right of those who wish to demonstrate peacefully". That was all well and good but protests had long since ceased to be peaceful.
The first indication of repercussions came a month later, when Kenya cancelled a visit by the MCC, stating it could not host a side when the club welcomed sides from South Africa. On the same day it was revealed weedkiller had been poured over the outfield at Worcester, the venue for the South Africans' first match. Soon after, sporting links with South Africa again hit the headlines when Arthur Ashe, the previous year's US Open tennis champion, was refused entry into the country on account of his colour.
The MCC and TCCB's carry-on-as-normal approach started to change, and meetings were held with the government over security surrounding the tour. It had become clear that the usual arrangements would be completely inadequate, and the cricket establishment was concerned the profit from the summer would be wiped out if it had to foot the bill. The fears were real. By the end of January, 12 county grounds had been vandalised.
The killer blow came on January 30, when news broke that the International Cavaliers, a touring charity-based multi-racial side consisting of leading players, had been refused entry to South Africa. A letter from the South African Cricket Association concluded that "you must be aware any tour… including non-white personnel would not be allowed". The MCC tried to distance itself from the row, claiming the Cavaliers was a private enterprise and so nothing to do with it, but all that did was to make it look woefully out of touch with the world.
By mid-February the MCC had cut the itinerary from 28 to 11 matches, removing grounds deemed impractical to protect, and going so far as to approve the laying of artificial pitches on those grounds hosting games, to allow play to continue in the event of pitches being vandalised mid-match. If anyone on the MCC committee was still ignorant as to the scale of the situation, it was brought home to them: the meeting where this decision was made took place against a backdrop of the Lord's square surrounded by a protective barbed-wire fence.
As the tour grew closer, the press covered developments almost daily. Numerous letters to newspapers, both pro and anti-tour, reports of attacks against cricket grounds, and players and officials coming out one way or the other.
John Arlott announced he would refuse to commentate on any matches; other journalists subsequently joined him. While he said he was not sure protests at games were the answer, he felt that by allowing the tour to go ahead the Cricket Council had put cricket in a place where it would be "the ultimate and inevitable sufferer", adding the Tests "would offer comfort and confirmation to a completely evil regime".
In April, Harold Wilson, the prime minister, told the BBC that the MCC had made "a big mistake" in allowing the tour to take place. "Everyone should be free to demonstrate against apartheid," he said. "I hope people will feel free to do so."
The wider implications became more apparent when later that month eight African countries said they would refuse to participate in that summer's Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh if the tour went ahead. Within days they were joined by India, Guyana and Jamaica.
The AGM of the MCC in early May backed the tour without even needing a vote. On the same day, sodium chlorate was sprinkled on the wicket at Gloucestershire's county ground. There was no South Africa match scheduled there but the county team included Procter, one of their overseas players.
To general surprise the Oxford Union voted narrowly in favour of not disrupting the tour. Soon after, two students admitted "fiddling the vote". A second debate overwhelmingly supported active opposition.
Warwickshire said they would not pick any of their three coloured players for the match against the South Africans. The next day the gates at Edgbaston were vandalised.
As the cricket establishment steadfastly refused to budge, it found itself surrounded on all sides, under attack from politicians, the public and much of the media. More importantly, hotels refused to take bookings for the tourists (mostly on safety rather than moral grounds) and hundreds of policemen said they would refuse if told to protect venues from protestors.
On May 20, 12 days before the first match, the Cricket Council, the forerunner of the ICC, voted almost unanimously for the tour to go ahead. "It was agreed in the long term this policy was in the best interests of cricket, and of cricketers of all races in South Africa," explained the secretary, Billy Griffiths.
Bizarrely, the council stated there would be no further series involving South Africa "until SA cricket is played and teams selected on a multi-racial basis". If it was a sop to try to appease opponents, it failed. "The rulers of cricket stonewall on," said an editorial in the Daily Mirror. "If this is their last word, they are assuming a terrible responsibility."
But events were moving quicker than anyone realised. Three days later the Cricket Council called the tour off "with deep regret", following an official and strongly worded request to do so from James Callaghan, the British home secretary. Griffiths said he "regretted the discourtesy" to the South African board and went on to say he "deplored the activities of those who intimidate".
Wilson's government had decided that with a general election less than a month away the massive disruption and negative publicity that would result from allowing the tour to carry on could only harm Labour's chances of re-election. There were also fears it would trigger racial unrest within the country. The Commonwealth Games also risked being reduced to involving a few white countries, such was the level of threats to withdraw. Despite the endless mantra from those running cricket that sport and politics should not mix, it was politicians who took the final call.
John Vorster, South Africa's prime minister, was predictably angry. "For a government to submit so easily and so willingly to open blackmail is to me unbelievable." Ali Bacher, South Africa's captain, was more resigned: "I regret the manner in which politics have become involved in cricket… [but] unless we broaden our outlook we will remain forever in isolation."
As it turned out, that isolation, like the apartheid regime that caused it, was to last much longer than anyone feared.

What piece of art changed your life? How did it affect you?
I was 16 when I first heard John Coltrane's recording of A Love Supreme. At the time, I was taking piano lessons privately, and it made me want to play improvised music. There was something about the vibe of the group that initially inspired me. I felt that everyone was totally in sync and that there was a very strong statement being made. I especially was taken by how [pianist] McCoy Tyner played in this setting and, of course, the interaction by all the musicians. In the groups that I lead now, I place a high value on band interaction, and I suppose this stems from the impression Coltrane's band made on me at an early stage in my musical development.
Pianist Mark Soskin played with Sonny Rollins for 14 years, but he's really hit his stride as a solo artist. He's put out three stellar discs on the Kind of Blue label: Man Behind the Curtain (featuring Ravi Coltrane on sax), One Hopeful Day (with guitarist John Abercrombie, saxophonist Chris Potter, and bassist John Patitucci), and the just-released Nino Rota, a startling solo piano tribute to the Italian composer known for scoring The Godfather and Fellini's 81/2. Soskin plays An die Musik this Saturday at 8 pm and 9:30 pm.

Watch list Birds in WI
Birds on the Natural Heritage Inventory's "watch list." Watch list species have experienced, or are believed to have experienced, a statewide or range-wide decline, but are not currently tracked in the Natural Heritage Inventory (NHI) database. The watch list includes newly discovered species for which origin and rarity need to be determined, certain animals designated as Species of Greatest Conservation Need (SGCN) in the Wisconsin Wildlife Action Plan, and species that were tracked in the past but proved more abundant, widespread, or less vulnerable than previously thought. Although watch list species are not actively tracked by NHI, occurrences documented during surveys are often stored by NHI, as these species could be tracked in the future if there is further evidence of their decline."
Birds are made welcome with feeders hanging on The Lodge, flowers, shrubs and trees for food and habitat. Songbirds are found near our buildings. You will find hawks and larger birds on the trails.
Bird watchers are thrilled with the large variety of birds found on our property. In our Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast library we have "Birds of Wisconsin, Field Guide" by Stan Tekiela available for your use to identify any species unknown to you. We have the videos: "Hummingbirds; Jewels of the Forest" and "Bats; the True Story" for your viewing pleasure.
Locally grown bird sunflower seeds are available to our birds, sugar water for humming birds & grape jelly for Baltimore Orioles. Bird feeders, a bird bath and heated drinking water bring the birds to the restaurant windows for Wisconsin Bed and Breakfast guests viewing pleasure.
Barn swallows are very evident in the compound around the buildings. Barn Swallows make their home in the basement of the barn. They are great fun to watch when mom flies in with food for her babies who are peeping from four yellow mouths wide open. Their swooping flight patterns are so graceful. These industrious birds feed on mosquitoes. The benefit to you is the opportunity to sit outdoors in the evening without mosquito bites.
Bats are seen at dusk as they feed on mosquitoes and other bugs. They can be seen swooping about 12 to 15 feet above ground. The bats are afraid of humans and are very good at avoiding humans.

Jimmy Kennedy had one word to describe his performance during his first day of minicamp: "Terrible."
"To me it was," he explained. "Coaches are happy to see me run around, but (I'm) adjusting to this altitude and I didn't get my playbook yet, so there's a couple of things I'm working on. But overall, to me, it was terrible."
Such an evaluation would seem to indicate that the newest addition to their stable of first-round picks carries a perfectionist's streak. It was, after all, only his first day, and no player is immune from enduring a period of adjustment.
"It's going to take him awhile," Head Coach Mike Shanahan said. "He really hasn't been in camp, really doesn't know our system. So we'll get a chance to work here a couple of days and a week before we start camp our coaches will all be here."
The coaches are already encouraging the former St. Louis Rams Rams defensive tackle.
"(Defensive line coach) Bill (Johnson) just told me not to get frustrated," Kennedy said. "I'm used to one system and I'm ready to make calls that I had in St. Louis. I'm just checking out. It'll come."
And for Kennedy, it won't be a moment too soon.

The Faulkner University Criminal Justice and Legal Studies Department recently upgraded its computerized legal research subscription from Westlaw to WestlawNext. WestlawNext will provide Legal Studies students with advanced search features in a mobile friendly environment. The American Association of Law Libraries recently named Westlaw Next the "New Product of the Year" for 2011 and the National Law Journal named the WestlawNext iPad App the "Best Legal Research App." All Legal Studies students are provided with access to WestlawNext and will begin benefitting from the new technology as early as March 2012!
Great Books students will use the iPad to review shorter readings that are available for free. Students will also use the iPad for online journal entries and for various means of communication of essential information throughout the semester.
Freshman and Transfer Experience classes will be enhanced through our use of iPads. Students will maintain a daily calendar on their iPads and learn to budget their time. To help with time management, students will complete a Learning Styles Inventory that will provide current information on how to prepare for classes based on these learning styles and the time that will be required for studying and preparation. In addition, faculty will post ongoing helpful hints for success at the collegiate level. Finally, students will maintain an inventory of likes and dislikes that will help them in making sound decisions regarding career goals and how to best achieve said goals. All of this information will be just a click or two away!
As part of their courses in Intermediate Accounting I and II, accounting majors receive passwords that enable them to access a database hosted by the American Association of Accountants and consisting of hundreds of statements codifying Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The College of Business maintains and supports a web server running Microsoft Web Server as a file and web server, and designated for instructional use by students and faculty alike. It can be used to give students experience with those areas of Information Management that in an industrial environment would be provided on servers such as this one.
The Physical Education/Sports Management Department incorporates a Physiology Lab within its curriculum that includes a complete metacart and a brand new testing treadmill. With this equipment students are exposed to Max VO2 testing (measures the volume of oxygen the subject can consume while exercising at maximum capacity), stress testing, & ECG. The entire system is computerized and provides students with valuable experience in the technology utilized in the Physical Education and Sports Management career fields.
Faulkner's Computer Science students are working with real world applications and computer software to prepare them for a career in the field. First, students in the Computer Science Department are provided access to a usability software package called Morae. Morae captures audio and on-screen activity along with keyboard/mouse input, allows for observation of people using a website or application; and, reveals patterns of usage. The evaluation of these patterns may impact changes or enhancements to the site or application to make it more user-friendly. Students and the faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics are also provided access to licensed copies of Microsoft developer applications through MSDNAA (Microsoft Developer Network Academic Alliance).
The Department of Mathematics is currently using the computer package Mathematica (from Wolfram) as a technology for Math Majors. It is to be used in two ways: 1. It is used as a teaching aid. The instructor can use pre-built demonstrations in class to help the students visualize important concepts. In fact, there are now complete texts available for some courses in which each section has Mathematica examples to reinforce the concepts of that section. An example is Complex Analysis by Shaw. 2. It is a programming language for Math Majors. Mathematica is loaded on all the machines in the Greer Hall computer lab. All Math majors will learn how to use the language. Mathematica is also a great tool to aid in faculty research!
The new Faulkner University Dinner Theatre is full of new technology! According to Jason South, co-director of the dinner theatre, there are two main areas of technology in use. The new sound system is a Presonus Sound system including a 48 channel sound board, 12 wireless microphones, and 30 wired mics. The theatre's lighting system consists of an ETC element system with full capability for 100s of lighting instruments. These technologies provide an excellent learning experience for Faulkner's theatre students and a first class experience for theatre patrons!

Hey, look, it's Windows... mobile. Get it? You know, Windows 95 on a mobile device -- ah, never mind. Point is, the S60 port of DOSBox seems to be doing some really crazy, insane, questionably-useful things for Symbian-powered devices around the world, and when running Windows 3.1 on a 320 x 240 display just doesn't do it for you anymore, you can apparently step up to a harder drug like Windows 95. The video shows good ol' 95 getting demoed on an N82, but given the molasses-like pace of absolutely everything, we'd say this is strictly a for-the-hell-of-it sort of experiment. Translation: there are better ways to run your BBS from the road. Follow the break for video.
[Thanks, Daniel]

"Late night YouTube watching was a bad idea. So many boys pretending to be professional wrstlers. A pair of trunks and a ring don't make you a wrestler."
- Mike Bennett bashing fans who are amateur wrestlers
Since every wrestling fan on the planet is curious about CM Punk leaving WWE, TNA has decided to take advantage of the situation by posting several of his matches for free on their YouTube account this week. Punk worked for the company during their early years.
Edge recently paid a surprise visit to a comedy show that Mick Foley was doing in New York, and the video of that appearance has now surfaced online.
Even though she is no longer with the company, WWE has decided to feature Beth Phoenix and her Glam Slam finisher on an episode of 30 Second Fury.
At a Dragon Gate USA show, Kassius Ohno, who was recently released by WWE, took a jab at Triple H by having his opponent doing the crotch chop and Pedigree finisher, which Ohno was able to kick out of at the one count.
While many are already aware that WWE is not planning on pushing Damien Sandow in the near future, it now looks like he's headed in the opposite direction actually. He only has one televised victory since the year started, and that was a win over Great Khali, a performer on the lower end of the card.
Batista won Royal Rumble 2014 by eliminating Roman Reigns in the end. Other contestants during the match were Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, El Torito, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, JBL, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Luke Harper, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Seth Rollins, Sheamus and the Miz.

Getting to Know You:
(Click here to send us your thoughts on this article.) |
Post-Bar Mitzvah it was all disillusionment. I developed this mindset that Judaism was all based around meaningless external custom, or at least that people had allowed an emphasis on external custom to develop over internal improvement. I think I was basically making excuses for not wanting to get closer to God. Another event that threw me off was a sort of "purging" at my synagogue that saw the rabbi, the assistant rabbi, and the cantor all dismissed one after the other. The push to shake up the leadership was spearheaded by this dastardly executive committee and most of the congregation seemed to allow it to happen.
My thoughts on that event went along the lines of, "Well! Some great Jews they are, watching as their community leaders are led to the guillotine."
I also felt that this committee was principally motivated by sagging membership at the congregation, which meant less funds. So that fit with the idea that, hey, organized religion is corrupt, my temple is populated by a bunch of hypocrites and so on.
Obviously, I was arrogant in a lot of ways to think these things, to place myself outside of - and perhaps above, in my mind - the community. I feel like I'm closer to reconciling with the religion than I am with the synagogue. It would be better to forgive than to cling to these remnants of past bitterness, especially since the new synagogue leaders seem to be an excellent group. It's something that I have to struggle with. As for Judaism itself, I feel bound to it in many ways and I think that there's far too much wisdom within its teachings for me to ever sever myself from it. I want to draw closer to its core.
What is your favorite thing about being Jewish?
Knowing that I'm connected by tradition to something ancient and truly noble.
Do you find that your campus is accepting of Jewish students?
It was funny, moving from one of those Jewish population clusters in suburban St. Louis to a region where many people have never seen a Jew before. I think Mizzou is "tolerant" of Jews, only in that Jewish buildings aren't set on fire. They give us our space and think what they want to think. That's perfectly fine.
Have you ever experienced religious discrimination on campus?
Nothing overt.
How do you go about explaining traditions to classmates?
Inaccurately, for the most part.
For you, does being Jewish require supporting Israel? Why or why not?
No, of course not. That's one of my major beefs with contemporary American Judaism, I think. Israel is the Jewish nation, yes, but it is one nation of many. It represents a rare and refreshing democratic force in the troubled Middle East, yes, but its needs should not be placed upon a pedestal at the expense of other lands. I wholeheartedly believe that Jews in America need to critically examine Israel's policies. One can criticize a certain decision or a certain practice without becoming antagonistic. If we want Israel to evolve into the great nation that it truly has the potential of becoming, we cannot simply rubber stamp every move that it makes because of our shared religion.
Those who cry out that all voices of dissent should be equated with anti-Semitism are clearly missing the point. Anti-Semitism remains a serious issue in our world today, which is why it angers me when people use it as a knee-jerk reaction, or a shield to defend wrongheaded thinking. I'm not advocating complete dissection of every move Israel makes, but people need to think about these policies, and not allow anyone to bully them into a certain mode of thinking.
What are your personal goals? Religious? Professional?
I want to spend more of my time in the service of others through volunteer work and I want a career that centers around music in some fashion. That way, I could never grow bitter about my occupation, because new ideas are always gushing forth from the concept of musical creation. There's no room for stagnation. I think there's something Divine about it, how progressions of sound can wordlessly and effortlessly express such profound emotions. Just listen to the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds," or the final movement of the "Surf's Up" album. I'm almost compelled to say that Brian Wilson became a vessel for something greater than himself on those recordings, to create songs that were so melodically uplifting yet emotionally devastating. But that's neither here nor there.
How do you think that Judaism will factor into your adult life?
It's going to be an anchor that grounds me, intellectually and spiritually, for the rest of my days.

Second Dacian War
Second Dacian War | |||||||||
Part of the Dacian Wars | |||||||||
Belligerents | |||||||||
Roman Empire | Dacian Kingdom |
The Second Dacian War was fought in 105 to 106 because the Dacian king Decebalus had broken his peace terms with the Roman emperor Trajan from the First Dacian War. Now Trajan set out to Dacia with total conquest in his sights.
Before the War[edit]
Following his subjugation, Decebalus complied with Rome for a time, but was soon inciting revolt among tribes against them and pillaging Roman colonies across the Danube. True to the intrepid and optimistic nature he had become renowned for, Trajan rallied his forces once more in 106 for a second war against the Kingdom of Dacia.
The War[edit]
At the start of the war, Trajan built another bridge over the Danube to move his legions faster into Dacia. Unlike the first conflict, the second war involved several skirmishes that proved costly to the Roman military, who, facing large numbers of allied tribes, struggled to attain a decisive victory. Eventually, however, Rome prevailed and took Dacia. An assault against the capital Sarmisegetusa took place at the beginning of the summer of 106 with the participation of the legions II Adiutrix and IV Flavia Felix and a detachment (vexillatio) from Legio VI Ferrata (see also Battle of Sarmisegetusa). The Dacians repelled the first attack, but the Romans destroyed the water pipes to the Dacian capital. The city was burned to the ground. Decebalus fled, but committed suicide rather than face capture. Nevertheless, the war went on. Thanks to the treason of a confidant of the Dacian king, Bicilis, the Romans found Decebalus's treasure in the River Sargesia - a fortune estimated at 165,500 kg of gold and 331,000 kg of silver. The last battle with the army of the Dacian king took place at Porolissum.
In 113, Trajan built Trajan's Column near the Colosseum in Rome to commemorate his victory over the Dacians. Although the Romans conquered the ancient Kingdom of Dacia, a large remainder of the land remained outside of Roman Imperial authority. Additionally, the conquest changed the balance of power in the region and was the catalyst for a renewed alliance of Germanic and Celtic tribes and kingdoms against the Roman Empire. However, the material advantages of the Roman Imperial system wasn't lost on much of the surviving aristocracy. Thus, most of the Romanian historians and linguists believe that many of the Dacians became romanised (see also Origin of Romanians).
In 272 AD the Romans would lose the province of Dacia to the invading Gothic tribes.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The old saying goes you can throw out the records when Canisius and Niagara meet up. But this year, the records give the rivalry matchup extra meaning.
"It's why you play. It couldn't be more exciting. The crosstown rival, it's two good teams," said veteran Niagara coach Joe Mihalich.
While Mihalich has been through these battles for nearly a decade and a half, Jim Baron is in his first season on the bench for Canisius.
"Being in the MAAC, being in Western New York, it's tremendous," said Baron, who does have familiarity with Western New York rivalries, having played and coached at St. Bonaventure.
The Purple Eagles (12-8, 8-1) are perched atop the conference, winners of eight straight in MAAC play. Meanwhile, the resurgent Griffs (13-7, 6-3) are in the hunt just two games back after three consecutive victories.
"It gives you a lot of juice, a lot of excitement, because you know you're coming into a game where the crowd is going to be energetic, it's going to be a packed house," said Canisius senior guard Harold Washington.
His counterpart from Niagara, junior guard Marvin Jordan, relishes the chance to play in the hostile environment.
"I can picture it being full and as soon as we walking in, we're hearing the boos from Canisius fans, so can't wait to hear that," said Jordan.
Control of the series has belonged to Niagara in recent years, including four straight wins over Canisius and 17 of the last 20. The Golden Griffins will look to put a stop to that before a sell-out crowd at Koessler Center.

The Plantronics Vodafone VBH-300 excellent value for money at £25, IMHO. The battery lasts twice as long as more expensive units, which is a big plus for me. I'm guessing the compromises are around the sound quality, the range (less transmit power means less battery consumption, which in turn means longer battery life but shorter range), and the quality control at the factory. The range is fine for use as a hands-free in a car, but will not easily cope with someone wandering into the... (read more)
