Makes IT Certification and Business Training Affordable for Individual Learners
TEMPE, Ariz., June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- KnowledgeNet today announced the launch of KnowledgeNet Express (www.KnowledgeNetExpress.com), an e-commerce platform that gives individuals affordable, ready access to the same IT certification and business skills courses used by Fortune 500 companies.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140602/93318)
KnowledgeNet Express courses range from entry-level certifications such as CompTIA A+ and ITIL to more advanced certification requirements supporting the Microsoft and Cisco platforms. Certification training is also available in the critical area of project management, including PMP®, PRINCE2®, CAPM® and Microsoft Project Training.
"All of the instruction is online," Johnson said. "Learners have 24/7/365 access to their courses, any support they need, a sophisticated learning management system and unlimited practice tests – exactly the same as the enterprise-level learner."
The courses available through KnowledgeNet Expressare priced 50 to 60 percent below their normal cost, putting them well within the reach of IT professionals who have to pay for their own training – creating a particularly valuable resource for those wanting to launch, change or advance their IT careers.
"We feel very strongly about getting world-class training to those who have traditionally been shut out from these career-enhancing opportunities," said KnowledgeNet Managing Partner Rob Johnson. "By utilizing an e-commerce platform, we are able to bring them the same quality learning experience enjoyed by corporate IT professionals, but at a fraction of the cost."
Johnson said the course catalog for KnowledgeNet Express will quickly expand and be continually updated to cover a broad range of technical training, certifications and business skills.

If you're bilingual in English and either Dutch or Japanese (all three is not required!), we can use your help. Both our Dutch and Japanese translation teams are running slightly short-handed and could use a few more volunteers to spread out the effort. In essence, you'd work with the other members of the teams to help translate TidBITS from English into either Dutch or Japanese for the thousands of people who read TidBITS in those languages. You can read more about what's involved with both the Dutch translation and the Japanese translation at their respective pages. Thanks for any help you can provide, and do note that as a small token of our appreciation, translators receive all Take Control ebooks for free.
Thoughtful, detailed coverage of the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, plus the best-selling Take Control ebooks.
See All Your Books in iBooks
The iBooks app for iOS lets you assign your books to different collections, but does not have any obvious way for you to see all of your books, regardless of the collection you have put them in. There is, however, a workaround that can show you just about all of your books at once: reveal the search field at the top of any collection in iBooks and type a single space into that field.
With this search, iBooks lists all of the books that have a space either in the title of the book or in the author's name. Other than the rare book that has a one-word title and a single-name author, you end up with a list of all of your books.

1.5kg rhubarb
1.3kg sugar
250ml white grape juice concentrate
1 sachet general purpose white wine yeast (I used Champaign yeast)
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Wash the rhubarb, then chop finely into 6mm lengths. Place in a sterilised, food grade bucket and stir in the sugar. Cover with a lid or a clean tea towel and leave for three days. I forgot mine for a week and it started to go a bit mouldy on top – not that it seems to have done any harm.
Crush the pulp with the end of a rolling pin then stir in three litres of boiled but cooled water. Strain through sterilised muslin into another clean bucket, add the grape juice concentrate and make it up to 4.5 litres with more water. Add the yeast (activate it if necessary first) and the yeast nutrient.
Cover and leave for a week. Siphon into a clean demijohn and add a bubble trap.
After three or four weeks "rack off" into another demijohn (this disposes of the muddy stuff at the bottom which can taint the wine). Any shortfall should be made up with a sugar syrup made from boiled water, three parts, to sugar, one part, and allowed to cool.
When all fermentation has stopped siphon into clean bottles. It is ready immediately though patience may have its reward.
I have now aged a few bottles of this and it's getting better and better :-)
When you stir in the sugar with the rhubarb, did you add water? How much?

What type of white grape juice concentrate do you use? Is it a store brand?

Incomplete pipe organ needs help
Fundraising efforts for the instrument under way in Conejo
A musical treasure can be found in the Conejo Valley.
The instrument is a beautiful pipe organ that makes its home in a setting architecturally designed for it — Ascension Lutheran Church, on Hillcrest Drive near the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza.
This gem is in trouble and needs help.
Since 1989, visitors and church members have heard this instrument played at community events, including baccalaureate programs for Oaks Christian and Thousand Oaks high schools, as well as at concerts, weddings and various services.
Internationally known artists Paul Manz, John Walker, Wilma Jensen and Samuel Soria from Our Lady of the Angels Cathedral in Los Angeles have played the Reuter Opus 2087 pipe organ.
Pipe organs truly are gems and have served many generations of listeners. Their majestic and ethereal sounds have no equal, and their appearance can be magnificent. No wonder the pipe organ is called the king of instruments.
While the Ascension pipe organ appears to be a completed instrument, there is a huge empty space in the heart of its chambers. Many pipes are missing. When the organ was first built in 1989, funds were not available to complete it as designed.
The church and community are working within an urgent timeline to ensure that this musical gem will finally be completed. This pipe organ will then continue to be a valuable cultural asset in the community, attracting future artists and visitors to the church community for generations to come.
The church is currently trying to raise money to complete the organ.
Those who are interested in helping to complete the organ can call Mike Berger at 279-2221.
In the meantime, all are welcome to Ascension to hear this magnificent instrument and make some new friends at the same time.
— Allan Hanson is a member of the church who has sung in the choir since 1987 and who has a full appreciation for how much difference having the whole middle range added would make.

Bath unveil new coaching team
ESPNscrum Staff
May 8, 2012
Gary Gold is the man charged with bringing back the glory days to Bath © Getty Images
Bath Rugby have confirmed that Gary Gold will take up the position of director of rugby at the club with Toby Booth, Neal Hatley and Mike Ford also joining.
Gold revealed on Monday that he is to take up a coaching post at Bath with that now confirmed as head coach. He has opted to bring in former London Irish duo Booth and Hatley along with Ford, who he worked with at Newcastle. The quartet will work alongside Brad Davis who is the only man to survive out of this season's coaching line up at Bath with both Sir Ian McGeechan and Martin Haag departing.
Gold was part of the Springboks coaching set-up under Peter de Villiers and helped guide them to the Tri-Nations in 2009 and a victory over the British & Irish Lions the same year. He took charge of the Newcastle Falcons this term on an interim basis and whilst he was unable to prevent them from finishing at the foot of the table, he put them into contention for achieving Premiership safety after a woeful start to the campaign. Gold will now swap the Falcons for Bath and he is relishing the chance to work with the side.
"It's a very ambitious club, with a great array of talent within the squad that I'm excited to be working with," Gold said. "There is a good culture developing here, and I'm keen to help further that with my own expertise and experience."
Gold will head up the new-look coaching team with Booth expected to take charge of the forwards. The move will see Booth trading the head coach post at the Exiles for a role with the forwards at Bath and he cited the need for a new "club and challenge" as the reason behind his switch. He will be joined by Hatley, who worked at the Exiles with the academy and the first team, who looks set for the scrum coach position.
While Bath's defence has been one of the strongest in the league this term, they failed to find the same sort of attacking prowess as displayed in the past. Ford is expected to be working with the backs along with a strong focus on defence. He will be joined by current first team coach Davis, who also has a rugby league background like Ford.
Ford has been recently working with Gold at the Falcons and he boasts substantial international experience having worked on three World Cup campaigns, including England's infamous 2011 World Cup campaign.
Bath CEO Nick Blofeld has claimed that the new coaching set-up displays their ambition to return back among Europe's giants. "Gary has put together a very strong team with great experience," Blofeld said. "This also demonstrates the club's long-term commitment to being the best we can be and getting the most out of a talented squad.
"They have tremendous experience and complementary skills, especially with Brad Davis remaining as part of the coaching team."

The Final Word
In case you didn't know, Khaled's proposal was fake. Here's Nicki Minaj's final word on it below:
"No, I was shocked just like the rest of the world and I was cracking up laughing with the rest of the world because Khaled is a master at what he does and you know he is a DJ, Hypeman, entrepreneur, all of those [things] wrapped in one. He was just like, 'Yo! that's how I was feeling! It's just an extension of the song, yo!' Everyone was just like, 'Whatever, Khaled.'"

Pietra Biera Corsa
25.4 fl. oz. bottle, corked and caged, no apparent freshness dating.
Brasserie Pietra is a French brewery on the isle of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea. Corsica is known for its production of chestnuts, and the beer is brewed with chestnut flour. Not surprisingly, the clear amber-colored beer actually tastes of chestnuts. It's balanced, fluctuating between a sweet maltiness and a drying bitterness that may be in part due to the chestnuts themselves. The body is medium with a dextrinous edge and a median carbonation. At 6.0 % alcohol by volume it's strong, but not overly so, and the alcohol is well-cloaked. Probably best served well-chilled to begin with, it's a unique and interesting beer that's well worth trying.

Pietra is a hand-crafted beer from the Island of Corsica brewed with a blend of selected malts, hops, chestnuts and without any chemical additives or preservatives. This unique blend gives it an exceptional personality with a strong and delicate taste, with a low bitterness.

Not quite amber, more like deep gold with slight haze.
Smell is very inviting in a biere de garde kind of way. A touch of farmhouse, a touch of smooth malt. Also slight greenish hops. Now I know this beer was brewed with chestnuts and you can certainly pick that up in the nose (not sure if I would get that blind.) Definitely a bready/nutty thing though. Overall a superb aroma.
Taste is very pleasant and balanced, although some astringency in the finish takes away from what I think otherwise is a very nice beer.
I thought this would be interesting, but I'm surprised at how good it is, especially the aroma. Also it's great that the chestnut shows through but blends with the other flavors well.
Also, this beer is obviously in the wrong category.

I first drank this beer when I was in France. When I saw it at a local liquor store I couldn't help myself but to taste it again.
A : Dark golden color, with a half inch of head with medium retention and small lacing.
S : Hidden hops, the aroma probably comes from the chestnut the beer is made of.
M : Almost no bitterness and the taste stays long after the sip.
D : I would buy again of this beer. The chestnut makes it a very different beer of what we are used to.

Dark gold with a big head this is a pleasant nutty marzen. Very drinkable and well finished the beer shows the chestnut flavour as it warms up and opens up. A bigger mouthfeel and more complex flavour than expected from a corsican beer . Worth trying

Excited to try this one....made with Chestnut Flour (from ground chestnuts)..interesting...
A-Rich gold color...
S-Musty sweetness...earthy....
T-Can't say I can detect the "chestnuts" but it does have a unique earthy/nutty sweetness...I like the flavor..some caramel/nougat....closes with a soft hint of citrus hops..
M-Medium bodied...sweet feel...good carbonation.
D-Unique and glad I tried it...not an all-time great but an enjoyable sweeter style amber ale...reminds me a little of Finnegans Irish Amber which is made with potatoes but this is better.

Brown 33cl bottle, best before the end of 2010, drank Jan 2009.
Poured into a Corsendonk tulip glass. I poured aggresivley knowing the glass would hold any head that developed. A large white head did in fact arrive, it quickly sank to half size then sat for a while.
The body was clean, clear and bright, light amber in colour and looked good.
The aroma was a little sweet, toffee and molasses, no hint of the Chestnuts mentioned on the label (they didn't turn up in the taste either).
The taste was OK, again fairly sweet but with a drying aftertaste. Reminded me of a Bitter, in the UK Bitter Ale meaning, not a bitter taste. Strange for a french Lager based beer but true in my opinion. If I hadn't started burping half waay through the drink, I would have forgooten it was in fact a lager!
The alcohol isn't hidden too well, but maybe it isn't supposed to be?
Little too much carbonisation, hence the burps, otherwise a pleasant drink.

330 ml bottle from the LCBO.
Pours a clear amber orange, nice and bright, very thick white head forms, slightly soapy, slowly settles down to a thin layer and ring, no real lacing to speak of but looks alright. Smell is interesting, quite sweet, some caramel and corn syrup, light toasty malt, brown sugar, toast and flour, maybe a light nuttiness, some fruit, lemons, whole wheat bread, pretty clean, smells okay. Taste is similar, quite sweet at first, some caramel, lightly floral, very sweet in the middle, sugary, nuttiness and wheat flour is there but not as distinct as in the aroma, lightly spicy in the finish, touch of bitterness. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation, pretty drinkable. Not bad, the chestnut flour is pretty interesting, I kind of like this.

BB end 2010. Enjoyed from an Affligem goblet - since I had one on the go at the time. Amber with surprizing one finger off-white head, low carbonation. Some lacing stuck around, as did a a cloudy, wispy centre. Feint smell of mushrooms, not too much happening on the nose. This beer had a rather unique taste that featured a floral hoppiness, bitter middle and malt finish, all of it punctuated by sweetness that was fleeting; bubblegum kept coming to mind. Overall, a tasty brew although chestnuts didn't particularly stand out.

Pours a nice copper colour with a light head that doesn't hold very long. some lace.
Some strong smell that to me is more walnuts than chesnuts, actually. Some spices too.
Anyway, after a while almost all the aroma is gone and the only smell is a vague spice one.
Taste is rough, with something that now, yes, reminds me vaguely of chesnuts, some bittersweet notes and fruits in the bottom. Dry finish. Again, after a while, everything is almost gone, leaving only some sulphur notes.

pours a shimmering amber-rust color with a 2 finger frothy cap that lasted and laced well.
Luscious Muenchener malts in the aroma mingle with some woody-nutty tones and wisp of herbal hops...very pleasant.
The flavor is just a more intense, complex version of the aroma... rich bready-sweet Munich malts complimented with nutty tones and balanced with some great German noble herbal-woody hopping...clean drying finish.
This one skirts the Vienna lager genre but the color is not right, just the same it is a sturdy flavorful Munchen-style lager that can compete with any commercial Munich amber.

Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a becker.
A: Golden amber color. Pretty substantial carbonation pours into a 3 finger foamy white head. Settles slowly. Eventually settles, but leaves a thin layer of foam (just to keep your brew feeling cozy). Beer ring lacing hangs around as the beer settles. Pretty thick lacing further remains as you drink. Head renews completely with each pour.
S: Nice pale malt, lightly fruity hops, Italian spice, and a little nut.
T: Really distinct flavor. A medium to light malt, fairly sharp and pungent hops. The kicker is the leathery, nutty flavor to follow.
M: Has kind of a musty feel to it, but oddly not really in a bad way. Like the quality a nicely aged cheese has. Light, but hearty.
D: Really solid drinkability. Good flavor, good body.
Really solid atmosphere. Solid appearance, and a really pleasing, interesting, but not in an offensive way (more in an intriguing way) nose. Distinctive flavor, but not in a strange secret ingredient which overwhelms way and seemed like it may have been a good idea but in effect just distracts from the beer way, just in a unique flavor and solid balance way. Overall, this is a good quaff.

A cognac amber that, despite being brewed with chestnut, appears more so infused with the colour of hazelnut. The beer's complexion is so clear that it can actually appear quite pale, even trailing off to near colourless in parts. Holding it up to the light I notice it has a lot of glow. In its entirety, the head is but enough to make for a scraggly outlining.
Don't invest a lot of time in the aroma. I was swirling away for awhile figuring that since chestnut flour is used in the beer surely I would pick up on that at some point; I believe I was mistaken. I do detect grainy malts and buttery, cloying sweetness, even a hint of peat or oak, but not much that resembles chestnuts. Here's hoping there's more to it than this!
If you're an avid lover of chestnuts then be prepared for the possibility of disappointment. Although the brewery claims to use the chestnut flour as a main ingredient rather than flavouring, that statement isn't quite supported by the actual taste of things. There is a discernible 'nutty' character, to be sure, but it isn't enough to constitute a main flavouring.
But it's enough that I'm starting to enjoy it. To the beer's credit, the base malts are clean and seemingly adjunct free, showing a nice toasty -almost peaty- toffee like flavour that compliments the sweetness of the chestnut. I wish the flavour would linger longer, it's quite pleasant on the palate but could stand to be a little more bold to make a real impression.
It's too bad some beers don't turn out as interesting as they sound. The sweetness of the nut is far more noticeable than its flavour. That one lovely, distinct element aside the beer possesses no more texture or character than any other amber beer, mainstream or otherwise. It's curious how Mediterranean beers all seem to pair so poorly with food.

The color is light brown/orange, like maple syrup and the two finger head fades at a steady pace to form a thick lacing.
The smell is very malty with some chestnut and a hint of alcohol. I'd say semi-sweet with the sourness of raw chestnut.
The taste is malty and dry and the sourness of the raw chestnut is more dominant in the taste than in the smell. It ends with some sweetness and a dry feeling.
This beer is very refreshing due to it's dryness a light body.
A hot summer day and a six-pack of Pietra would be a nice combo if you want to try something slightly different.

Pours a wierd clearbrownish-orange, nice white head, lots of lacing, lots of carbonation.
At first it smelled like a bad home-brewed beer, some toasty/bready malts, a bit sweet smelling.
Surprisingly bitter, not much body, grainy, maybe some nuttiness, the chestnut maybe?
Very carbonated, overall a different, refreshing beer!

First off, this is not a Euro Dark Lager. It clearly states on the bottle that it is an ale. Now as to what style of ale - don't know exactly, but I would guess it probably best fits Belgian Pale Ale, which is what I reviewed it as.
This was poured from the bottle into a snifter-like glass.
A - Light amber color with a thick head that settles into a thin chunky lace collar
S - noble hop aroma - perhaps a little light struck but might just be the varieties used; some smoky-nutty malt scents
T - sweet malty with a moderately strong smoke-like flavors, minor hop character on finish which is somewhat crisp
M - medium body, moderate to high carbonation
D - This is an interesting beer to be sure. It really defies classification. After one, I can't say that I really know if I like it or not. It has an interesting complexity that is puzzling but might get tiresome after a while.

The folks at Walnut Woods in Boyertown got quite a treat Friday.
A giant yellow banana car and a toaster on wheels, complete with two over-sized pieces of bread, pulled up in front of their complex.
Seniors were able to get a close-up look at the cars and pose for pictures.
The banana car seats four and turns heads everywhere it goes. It was created by a man from Coopersburg, Lehigh Co.

We arrived around 12:00pm, and it took a really long time to pick up our tickets at will call, not only because there were a number of people waiting in line, but because the staff didn't seem to know what they were doing. It was rather frustrating because it literally was just providing a last name to get tickets.
The show itself had a good amount of exhibitors, many of which offered free samples of their product (usually food). That said, there was little diversity of exhibitors. The vast majority either provided baked goods, sauces, meats, knives, and overpriced "bars" that mimic Lara bars in some form or another. I'd like to see more exhibitors offering different kinds of appliances and kitchen gadgets and maybe even different kinds of foods? Perhaps local coffee bean roasters, donut shops, etc.

Orquera has a sprained ankle and is replaced by Alberto Chiesa in the number 10 jersey while Giovanbattista Venditti returns on the wing.
In the only other change to Christian Gajan's starting line-up, Emiliano Caffini is included ahead of Filippo Cristiano on the blindside.
There is a great deal of movement on the bench however as Carlo Festuccia, Salvatore Perugini, Flavio Tripodi, Filippo Ferrarini, Josh Sole, Alberto Benettin and Leonardo Sarto all make the squad.
Ospreys back rowers Justin Tipuric and Joe Bearman are injury concerns and will be monitored before the trip to Italy.
Prop Adam Jones is set to make his first start of the season after making his comeback from injury against Munster last weekend.
Zebre: 15 D Halangahu, 14 G Venditti, 13 M Pratichetti, 12 G Garcia (capt), 11 S Sinoti, 10 A Chiesa, 9 A Chillon, 8 Andries Van Schalkwyk, 7 M Bergamasco, 6 E Caffini, 5 M Van Vuren, 4 Q Geldenhuys, 3 L Redolfini, 2 Davide Giazzon, 1 Matias Aguero.

What they said...
Ospreys forwards coach Jonathan Humphreys
"I know they are bottom of the league but a couple of their games could have gone either way - the Glasgow game and certainly the defeat to Connacht," he said.
"We've gone out to Italy before and Italian sides have played particularly well against us. They are competitive, dangerous and I find them to be very inventive teams."

Design Icon: Architect Eero Saarinen
Read Article
Bold curves, colorful accents and technical vision: Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen's body of work represents Modernism's playful side in bloom. His iconic buildings, from the Gateway Arch to the Miller House, helped symbolize America's buoyant post-Cold War period, and often looked as streamlined and glamourous as the jets taxiing in front of one of his greatest creations, D.C.'s Dulles International Airport.

What are bedbugs?
Bedbugs are insects that feed solely on the blood of animals. It's a myth that they are too small to see; in fact, they look like apple seeds or lentils. Bedbugs are most commonly found in and around your bed: your mattress, where the box spring and mattress connect, and in the dust ruffle that circles the bottom of your bed. But they can also be found in the walls, in picture frames, and other pieces of furniture. The misconception is that bedbugs are attracted to fiber, when in fact they are attracted to carbon dioxide.

Governor Andrew Cuomo may have recently announced the members of the Common Core Implementation Panel, which will undertake an immediate and comprehensive review of the rollout of the Common Core standards in New York State, but it hasn't assuaged the concerns of Garden City parents. The Garden City Board of Education recently opened up to the public what wound up being a two-hour plus work session having to do with Common Core on Tuesday, Feb. 4. With roughly 40 to 50 people in attendance, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Teresa Prendergast gave a thorough Common Core presentation complete with slides and handouts as a means of offering clarity on this highly controversial and complex state standards initiative.
With criteria for English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics at the heart of Common Core, Dr. Prendergast not only gave a detailed explanation of these learning standards and examples of questions on the exams, but also dispelled a number of misconceptions. One of the primary misunderstandings is the idea that New York State and not Garden City Public Schools, is in charge of the curricula.
"Standards are nothing really new here that we haven't done before here in Garden City in prior years," she explained. "As far as ELA goes, the state is asking school districts to look at reading, writing, thinking and listening and looking at writing in all content areas as well as the use of appropriate language. I've heard people say that grammar and vocabulary are ignored in the Common Core and that's absolutely not true."
Prendergast, who was formerly a certified math teacher, also went over the mathematics portion of Common Core testing, which has proved to be a source of frustration to parents trying to help their children study due to the problem-solving methodology used. It's a process the assistant superintendent defended.
"The process by which you understand the instruction and how the mathematics unfolds is critical, particularly at the younger levels because that builds the foundation for the upper middle school and high school mathematics," she explained. "Without that foundation, things start to fall apart."
When Prendergast finished, members of the board weighed in.
"I think the best thing to educate parents about is that Common Core is not bad. Anytime you're raising standards to have your children perform at a higher level and introduce them to more rigorous curriculum and vocabulary, that's not bad," said Board President Barbara Trapasso. "It's the whole thing about the implementation and the testing. So it's not Common Core but the way the State Education Department has decided to implement its test information."
"Speaking for myself, we on the school board really feel in the middle. We are required as a school district to comply with the state mandates. We get no money under tax cap regulation but nonetheless, we have to spend the money. We are a long ways along the road and I don't think anyone would question whether Garden City graduates are college or career-ready. I believe that's the reason most of us live here," said Trustee Robert Martin. "We face two directions as a school board—we're trying to explain to the community that we have to comply and doing our best. On the other hand, we look at Albany and our legislators and complained loud and long to them about the inequities and the issues that are involved that we think penalize our school district and our students."
When the meeting was opened up to citizens' questions or comments of the presentation, reactions from parents became very pointed and barbed. Particular criticism was aimed at the effectiveness of Common Core.
"I know you guys can't opt out, I'd like to find out if we can apply for a waiver. But we can opt out as individuals and I will be doing that because I think it's a superfluous test and doesn't add any advantage to our children as you already alluded to on standardized tests. So it's redundant and it's taking time away from what we should be doing, which is educating our kids," said Sam Meyers, a father of four.
Other parents were disturbed at how pressure was affecting students.
"My 11-year-old son came home with an 85 on a math test that he spent 15 hours with a tutor preparing for. His sixth-grade teacher publicly hung up the test scores and humiliated the low scores in that classroom. My son threw up in the driveway and apologized to me for getting an 85 on the math test," said teary parent Jackie Straus. "My kindergarten student is looking ahead at what happens in the sixth grade. Four months into his instruction I've heard, 'I'm not safe in my school.' ' I hate Garden City.' '[Superintendent] Dr. Feirsen hates my brother, so why should I be good?' That is the reality of the Common Core in some households. It goes deeper than not understanding the math."
Friday, 29 August 2014 00:00
North Shore-LIJ's Cushing Neuroscience Institute (CNI) recently announced that Garden City resident Richard E. Temes, MD, MS, has been appointed director of the Center for Neurocritical Care at North Shore University Hospital and assistant professor of neurology, neurological surgery and internal medicine at the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine.
"Dr. Temes is a nationally recognized leader in neurocritical care and we are delighted to have him on board to spearhead our efforts in further expanding the neurocritical care services program," said Raj K. Narayan, MD, chair of neurosurgery at North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center and CNI's director. For the past seven years, Dr. Temes served as director of the neurocritical care program he founded at Rush Medical Center in Chicago, Ill. He also served as the hospital's medical director of the Neuroscience Intensive Care Unit and as director of the Therapeutic Hypothermia Service. Under Dr. Temes' leadership, he established Rush's neurological emergencies transfer center, which grew to transfer 1,200 patients annually from over 30 institutions throughout southern Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and western Michigan.

It's a cute little 'bug.' What it represents, however, is anything but cute.
An unusual-looking Volkswagen is toodling around Long Island this month. Painted to resemble the Asian longhorned beetle (ALB), the VW Beetle is part of efforts by the US Department of Agriculture to eliminate the pest, which can destroy 70 percent of an area's tree canopy, according to the agency. Initially, officials held hope for complete eradication from about 23 square miles of the Island designated as infested or at risk by 2016. Instead, this "landcape-altering pest" is spreading.

Evidence "Cats and Dogs" review
Cats and Dogs is Evidence's second album release but his first on Rhymesayers whom he signed to in 2009. Evidence is best known for his work with Dilated Peoples but he's had a solid body of solo work since his first album The Weathermen LP. Before I begin with the review I should also say that Evidence is on my "top ten favorite rappers" list so it's going to be mad slanted yo (that's Bizzon lingo). »Read Full Blog Post

The "geek mind" is concerned with more than just the latest iPhone rumors, or which company will win the gaming console wars. I4U is concerned with more than just the latest photo shoot or other celebrity gossip.
The "geek mind" is concerned with life, in all its different forms and facets. The geek mind wants to know about societal and financial issues, both abroad and at home. If a Fortune 500 decides to raise their minimum wage, or any high priority news, the geek mind wants to know. The geek mind wants to know the top teams in the National Football League, or who's likely to win the NBA Finals this coming year. The geek mind wants to know who the hottest new models are, or whether the newest blockbuster movie is worth seeing. The geek mind wants to know. The geek mind wants—needs—knowledge.

The other Brouwerij De Bie, Café DHellekapelle. This location in Loker now houses the new larger Bie Brewery, after demand outstripped production; the smaller plant at the Watou-based (original) Café DHellekapelle ceased to operate once production was switched to Loker.
The sign for the new Café DHellekapelle has the upper half of a devil appropriately holding a glass of Duvel & looking down on the Visitors.
The New Brewery Tap has 2 floors; the upstairs can seat well over 50 people. Serves the full range of De Bie beers as well as a select range of other bottled beers including Duvel, Chimay, Brigand, Orval, Rochefort, St. Bernadus, Westmalle, Tripel Karmeliet, this list goes on. On draft there are usually up to 6 regular beers, the best of which is the excellent very hoppy Hommelbier.
Food is served, & the range contains many local Flanders dishes, all are great value.
All in, this a great Beer Bar, & for a couple of Dollars you can arrange to tour the New Brewery that is housed in what used to be a former beer shop. For free, you can visit the Breweries shop, & spend a fortune I did.
The new home of Brouwerij De Bie, a nice place, & a keenly priced Beer Bar. But I still prefer the more characterful original Café DHellekapelle near Watou (which is still open).
