Time will tell the fate of Market Basket
Thursday, July 3, 2014
What is there to be said or written about the soap opera which is the Demoulas family feud that shoved their Market Basket grocery stores onto the front pages of the region's newspapers last week?
We fall into the latter of these categories for several reasons.
Either way, the Demoulas family die has been cast with last week's vote.

As we wrap up another wondrous year of fashion in music, we figured why should the ladies get all the attention? After all, it's not only the women of pop who spend painstaking hours on working on their appearance — shouldn't our favorite stylish male artists get credit for their tireless efforts too? So today, we've rounded up the most dapper, most dashing and, let's face it, most handsome men in music. Check out these well-groomed clotheshorses in our 10 Sharpest Guys In Pop and see who came out on top in 2011.

Re: Website URL best practice?
Doesn't really matter which you go for.
Re: Website URL best practice?
When creating a URL/domain name for your website, there are several to many factors to consider. Perhaps some have become a wee bit obsolete in regards to URL shortening applications, however, length is always near the top in terms of the #1 factor to consider.
Consider many scenarios in which your domain might be used: a user will have to type it out, and the longer the URL, the greater the chance of is being misspelled and your potential user/lead just got gobbled up by an AdSense placeholder webpage; another might be other mediums in which you might display your URL, ie. a business card or other medium in which space is a luxury.
In regards to number of keywords. I would advise against it. A longer URL comprised of a keyphrase would be much more suitable. Image a domain name like this: realestate-houses-homes-condos .com, with or without the hyphens. Ten out of 10 people would regard that as a spammy site, probably including Google.
Avoid hyphens/other similar characters whenever possible; although, they [hyphens] are your best alternative if you must use a delimiter.
I cannot imagine that the relevance of the domain name carries as much weight as it once might have. I have to assume that Google realizes and appreciates the fact that there are companies out there that simply snatch of any and all available URL's, making it quite difficult, if not impossible, to get a legitimately good, relevant domain name anymore. Therefore, I must assume that they have built such a condition into their algo to accommodate this.
To summarize: ultimately, a domain name will not make or break your SERP's. I mean, how many extremely high-ranking websites can any of you think of right this second that have completely irrelevant domain names, but are cleaning up in your/their market.
Put thought into it, but do not create a spammy looking URL just for the sake of getting some keywords in it... will hurt you down the road.

Re: Website URL best practice?
For the record I ended up going with:
Yes it's long but it hits all of the keywords I was looking for and I don't think that it looks all that spammy. It is a bit of pain for people to type to go directly to the site (which I know since I mess it up sometimes myself), but most traffic comes from people clicking on links to it.
The site is a blog and after 7 months it is ranking well and posts are showing up in SERPS (just no PR yet) so I'm happy with my choice.
Thanks for all of your initial input.
Re: Website URL best practice?
That one sure is a doosie. Not terrible by any means, but words like 'and' and 'for' are considered 'stop words', and just add characters to an already lengthy title. Would be considered "long-tail", in that it is not nearly as effective as say, "LondonHomes . com" would be.
It will play well, however, if/when somebody adds a backlink to your site but does not use any specific anchor text other than your URL/website name.
As for your comment "(just no PR yet)"... if you're showing up in the SERP's, then you have a PR. Google has halted their updates of the PR toolbar, and only makes random updates if/when they feel like it. Besides, the PR toolbar differs quite a bit from Google's internal PR tracking system... it's more just for show.
TIP: host your website on a local IP address, ie. find a host in London, ON to host your site... plays very well in terms of getting precise local, geo-targeted traffic. I mean, that's what you really want, right? You don't need to be showing up in google.it or anything like that.

Re: Website URL best practice?
Ensure that the site that binds is optimized for mobile use. Since the user will use a smart phone to access the content, which must be optimized for mobile phones. If your website is not optimized for mobile.
Re: Website URL best practice?
Speaking as someone who has a four name domain name, I went for option one. My domain name is a phrase rather than a collection of four individual keywords, and the phrase forms both the title and main keyword for my site.

Do you have the option to go ahead and purchase all options? That may give you some flexibility and will ultimately protect your brand regardless of which option you choose.

Here is the schedule for Summer Blog Blast Tour starting on Monday, May 19th. I will update this post each day with direct urls and quotes from the interviews.
Let me know if you have any questions!
Adam Rex at Fuse Number 8:"The big news is that Frankenstein is getting married, and anyone who's been through a wedding knows it takes a full quarter of a picture book to plan properly, so there are a number of nuptially-themed poems. They have to find a caterer who can deal with all the different monsters' food allergies and dietary restrictions, for example. Frankenstein has to meet his future in-laws, the Bride has to tell them she's not entirely dead anymore. That sort of thing."
David Almond at 7 Impossible Things Before Breakfast: "I guess it comes from having a Catholic childhood. I struggled against the Catholicism for a long time, but there came a moment when I recognized that it would never go away, and when I also recognized that it was a kind of treasure house of language, imagery, ritual. So I just allowed it to influence my fiction."
R.L. Lafevers at Finding Wonderland: "When I was a kid, I could always tell if someone had been in my room while I was gone, even if nothing had been disturbed. I could walk into a room where everyone was cheerful and pleasant and would KNOW that there was deep animosity between them. I can feel when someone is looking at me, and 90% of the time I know who is on the phone when it rings."
Dave Schwartz at Shaken & Stirred: "Another pet peeve of mine is the "billionaire fights crime" thing. Seriously, how impressed are we supposed to be that people with unlimited resources are able to do good? Maybe if, say, Tony Stark was to put his money into job training and education for juvenile offenders he'd actually have less crime to fight in his shiny suit. It goes back to me not being able to relate. Maybe the money is part of the power fantasy, and that's why people want to be Bruce Wayne despite the murdered parents and the all-consuming obsession with punishing the criminally insane. WHO ARE YOU REALLY PUNISHING, BRUCE?!?"
Elizabeth Scott at Bookshelves of Doom: "Really, if young adult novels from now had been available when I was a teen--oh, I get all dreamy-eyed just thinking about it."
Laurie Halse Anderson at Writing & Ruminating: "The turning point for me was when I working on the early (dreadful) drafts of Thank You, Sarah. I was struggling to figure out how to combine the history of Thanksgiving with the significant details of Sarah Hale's life. The early drafts were written in that dry, dull, old-fashioned tone. I hated it. I hated every word that I pinned to the page. I felt like I had killed my story before anyone got the chance to read it."
Susan Beth Pfeffer at Interactive Reader: "All right- when I read fiction, I favor suspense novels. I have a real fondness for American or British suspense novels from approximately 1946-1960, standalones where the wife is planning on murdering her husband or the husband is planning on murdering his wife. They're mostly by people I've never heard of and aren't that easy to find anymore."
Ben Towle at Chasing Ray: "I'm loathe to site the dopey "Titanic" film from the '90s here, but I will; that movie works similarly to the way Midnight Sun does. You've got some entirely fictional characters operating against a backdrop of an actual historical event—albeit one that the filmmakers have taken some real liberties with—yet, I don't think it was generally assumed by the audience to be 100% true simply because of its historical underpinnings."
Sean Qualls at Fuse Number 8: "When I first started listening to jazz, "A Love Supreme� from John Coltrane was one of the first albums I bought. His version of "My Favorite Things� I think, is one of the greatest songs ever! I also love the music of the musicians that were in his band like Eric Dolphy, McCoy Tyner and his wife Alice. Plus, Dizzy Gillespie is one of the greatest real life characters ever."
Susane Colasanti at Bildungsroman: "Even though we all share universal characteristics as part of the human experience, girls and boys are different on some fundamental levels. When I write boy dialogue, it tends to be choppier and less emotional than girl dialogue. When they're speaking, girls tend to analyze and obsess more over issues that boys might not naturally talk about. So one benefit of writing also from a boy's perspective is that you wouldn't necessarily know how he actually feels just from what he says, but once we know what he's really thinking we understand the depth of his character."
Robin Brande at Hip Writer Mama: "Last year I LOST MY MIND. Maybe I'm not supposed to admit that, but it might be useful for some other writers to know, so I'll be honest about it. "
Susan Beth Pfeffer at The YA YA YAs: "When I was in seventh grade, I read books aimed for kids my age that I knew were terrible (and yet, I read them). I decided at age twelve that I could do better, so I was always interested in writing for that age level (and when I wrote my first book, Just Morgan, I was twenty, so I wasn't all that much older)."
Debby Garfinkle at A Chair, A Fireplace and a Tea Cozy: "As to suggestions from editors, I usually get indignant the day I read a revision letter from my editor, thinking that she doesn't know what she's talking about, that my manuscript was just fine before she got hold of it. But a few days and maybe a few glasses of wine later, I feel grateful that the editor's wise comments will help me improve my manuscript."
Jennifer Lynn Barnes at Writing and Ruminating: "
I study monkeys and kids in an effort to basically answer the question of how we, as human adults, come to be as socially competent as we are. I'm also starting to study the psychology of fiction and answer such all important questions as "why do people in pretty much every culture like stories?" and "is there an innate preference for happy endings."
Delia Sherman at Chasing Ray: "Broadway was far and away my favorite part. I LOVE Damon Runyon. I love the voice, the things he did with language, the way he stitched violence and sentimentality and comedy and tragedy into stories that are uniquely and utterly, not only American, but New York. I just giggled all the way through writing the chapters about the Producer (whose office is based on the set of the Broadway musical of that name, by the way) and Honey and Raoul and the Bram Stoker Hotel. Getting it right was less lighthearted process, but then it always is."
Ingrid Law at Fuse Number 8: "When you think of superhero stories, you often don't think of pink Bible toting buses or evil talking smiley faces. All that's about to change."
Polly Dunbar at 7 Impossible Things Before Breakfast: "I live in a top floor flat with views of rooftops all around. There are a lot of seagulls in Brighton, and I spend quite a lot of time watching them, watching me. I'm surrounded by books, pens, brushes, toys, puppets and general muddle and about a million bits of colored paper. I would like to be organized enough to color-code the paper, but I don't think it's ever going to happen."
Tera Lynn Childs at Bildungsroman: "Daydreaming = Work"
I do almost all my writing in coffee shops (shout out to Starbucks!) and spend a lot of my time daydreaming, staring out the window, or observing the rainbow parade of customers. It may not look like I'm working, but really I am. Really!"
Siena Cherson Siegel at Miss Erin: "For example, when other parts of life are confusing and chaotic, the repetition of the exercises you always do at the barre can feel like meeting an old friend. Despite the rigors of training your body in class, there is a mental focus, clarity and intensity of concentration needed that can be a relief. This is the part of the ballet training that I described as a refuge in the book. I also really enjoyed being able to express feelings through the dancing. It was a great artistic outlet for a lot of intense emotions."
Barry Lyga at A Chair, A Fireplace & A Tea Cozy: "Oh, no question about it: Godless, by Pete Hautman. I am just endlessly impressed by that book. It's funny and it's serious. It's scary and it's heartfelt. It tackles a huge issue -- religion -- but it does so on a comprehensible, human scale. And it's SHORT! You can read it an afternoon, but in that afternoon, you'll laugh out loud, get choked up, and find yourself with a new understanding of organized religion. That's pretty damn impressive, especially in two hundred pages."
Elisha Cooper at Chasing Ray: "It was sort of like shopping, but with kids. Which brings me to something. Throughout the year, and the writing of the book, I tried to respect as much as possible that these were real kids living their lives (obvious, yes)."
Dar Williams at Fuse Number 8: "Usually the ten year olds ask me if I was like Amalee, while the eleven year olds ask about the editor, and the twelve year olds ask if I have a platinum record. Every group has been wonderful."
Jennifer Bradbury at Bildungsroman: "I think we're all storytellers at heart. And I think most of us use the material we've lived through to tell those stories to ourselves. So there's something about the way we remember something happening that often supersedes the event itself. And I sort of hate taking photos on vacation. My husband's gotten used to it now, but I'd almost rather not have the picture to diminish the memory. That said, I'm grateful my husband ignores my whining and manages to get some good pictures anyway."
E. Lockhart at The YA YA YAs: "It'll come out in Fall 09! Tentative title: The Treasure Map of Boys. I can tell you this much: There are pygmy goats. There are a lot of baked goods. Jackson is still up to stuff. There's a lot of Noel. Birkenstocks figure seriously in the plot. Beyond that, my lips are sealed."
Mary Hooper at Miss Erin: "The thing that helps is the restrictions: when you're dealing with real-life people or real-life happenings (as with Anne Green in NEWES FROM THE DEAD, or the Great Plague in AT THE SIGN OF THE SUGARED PLUM) you're controlled by the truth. This, for me, makes it easier to write than purely imaginative, contemporary stuff, which could go in any direction and is thus more difficult to control."
Charles R. Smith at Writing and Ruminating: "Basically, I tried to tailor each poem's style to each player's game. For somebody like Tim Duncan, his game is based on fundamentals so his poem is written in a basic fundamental style. For somebody like Tracy McGrady, his poem moves fast the way he does on the court. I always try to challenge myself on every poem I do and the challenge was to match the style and game of each player."
Mary Pearson at A Chair, A Fireplace and a Tea Cozy: "I remember when a tree branch fell through our roof and when I went to Home Depot for supplies the sales guy took one look at me and said, "you'll never be able to fix it." Ha! That was the wrong thing to say to me. After that I think I would have fixed it myself if I had to cut each shingle with my teeth."
Varian Johnson at Finding Wonderland: "I think both class and race are still important. However, with Rhombus, I was more interested in exploring the differences in social status within an ethnicity than problems solely tied to race. Rhonda, Sarah, David, and even Gail to a degree, are products of their environment. While their race has affected them, it's their (and their parents') different social statuses within the community that really affects how they see each other."
Jincy Willett at Shaken & Stirred: "It's funny—as a reader, I have no problem relaxing into a mystery or thriller and pretending that engaging, seemingly reasonable people who give off not a whiff of madness or psychopathy can just turn on a dime and whale away on some poor soul with a blunt instrument. "
John Grandits at Writing & Ruminating: "Let's take for instance, "Skateboard" from Technically . . . In my little town we have a lot of skateboarders. It's an interesting little subculture. The town wanted to get the kids off the streets and sidewalks and parking lots. Too dangerous they said. So they gave the local YMCA money to build a skateboard park. The YMCA took the money and built a basketball court instead. The boarders got rooked. So that's the idea. I put my character in that situation and searched around my brain for a form it could take. I finally came up with the idea that the text follows the path of of his board. Idea first, shape second."
Meg Burden at Bookshelves of Doom: "I'm terrified of sharks and other Big Underwater Things, to the point that I can't even play--or watch--underwater levels of video games. I'm also freaked out by big inanimate things, like models of mammoths and dinosaurs in museums."
Gary D. Schmidt at Miss Erin: "If there was ever a time in recent history when a strong message of hope is important, it's now. Of course, hope is important for all times, but when we look around us, it's pretty clear that we live in troubled times, with a shocking cynicism in our culture's power centers. Hope for something better is not something tht just happens; it's something that needs to be cultivated."
Javaka Steptoe at Seven Impossible Things: "Rain Play was fun to work on because it reminded me of the rainy day after grocery shopping Dad decided to play with my sister and me in the rain instead of going inside and putting the food away. It reminds me of the Coke commercial with the kids playing in the rain. It reminds me of playing in the Johnny-pump, or sprinklers in the summer time, or having water fights in the pool. It starts with a thought, a spark. It's spontaneous, it's beautiful, it's an experience that we all have and it is so natural. Rain is not all gray skies, it's also refreshing nourishing growth."
Mary Hooper at Interactive Reader: "I think the most fantastical thing about prisons at that time is that, if you were rich enough, you could live the life of Riley and come and go from your furnished private prison apartment as you liked. If you were poor, however, you'd be lucky to survive a hot summer what with dysentery, gaol fever, lice and worms. (Is that grisly enough for you?)"

Installing Aegir 0.4 alpha5 from mig5 on Vimeo.
For those joining this sprint already in progress, we had gotten a working front end with merged server node types (see this issue and the dev-server_nodetype branch on git.aegirproject.org) before we were diverted by the need to release Aegir to facilitate new releases coming out from our other projects. All that's left to close that issue is to change how the front end values map to the backend to bring them in synch again, and to modify the install wizard so it sets up the new types correctly. After that's completed and the front end changes are merged back into the master branch, we'll start working on the next phase - to make a new task for 'server verify'. The big thing this will mean is restructuring our commands so they don't bootstrap quite as much and can run without Drupal present at all. We'll also be figuring out where to store the information on a server level. The server verify task is a blocker for a great many other issues, and once we have that in place we will tackle a bunch of those related issues. Specifically, I know there's a lot of interest in introducing a mechanism for regular backups, which have been missing before since we didn't have anywhere to communicate with the backend on a 'server wide' context, which means we couldn't invalidate old backups. We'll probably do another alpha release in about two weeks after the server verify task is in. Before that, however, I will likely branch off a dev branch in git to start work on refining the backend for the new API. This is also where I will start to look at introducing a 'file service' for transferring the files between servers.

danjayz Posts: 2Yes i have a 2004 colorado and last month i noticed water in driver side floorboard and removed my carpet to get water out and found a leak it is coming through behind the gas pedal from the firewall i cant get to outside part of the firewall to fix it and G.M wont fix it even though two dealers told me it was because of lack of factory sealant that it was leaking someone please help me because i have lost all faith in GM products.
dmathews3 Posts: 1,739Come on the darn truck is 5 years old. Do you think they are going to fix it forever. Go to the auto parts store, explain your problem and buy some stuff to fix it or pay a repairman to do the job for ya. Or you could buy a Toyota truck where they are buying them back with a secret so to speak recall due to rusting frames that are dangerous. :lemon:
jefter Posts: 1They leak up in the cowl, and have you will have to remove the cowl filler under the wipers to seal. Mine filled up with water four times, and GM failed to fix it multiple times under warranty. Traded the P.O.S. in, sure hope you didn't get it. I say call GM and press for repair, there are warranty claims on this issue. Have them check in Missouri and Kansas for claims. Tried more than one dealership, and was told they couldn't find the leak. I took the truck apart and hosed it down outside at the windshield base and watched the water seep in.

ohcolorado Posts: 9What is leaking is a defective gasket on the roof brake light. Remove the light see if you can re-glue the gasket to the light housing, use some clear silicone. I found this problem myself, after I was charged to have my rear window resealed! It is not the window. Also check under your carpet...the insulation is probably wet, and will need to be dried out. It may rust and/or mold! But it is the light leaking!

ohcolorado Posts: 9The problem with dealerships is most mechanics...oops..(technicians) don't have problem solving skills anymore, if they can't plug in tech2 to get an answer, they are out of luck! The thinkers are all gone...now it is parts replacers!
All you good mechanics that are still hanging on know what I mean!
Dealerships are run by numbers, not customer first--customer satisfaction! The good old days are over! Now, it is Pay Pay Pay!
Even if it ain't fixed! -

gfiendel Posts: 2i to have a chevy coloardo and having same problem with brake light . i spoke with Reggie at chevy customer service office and explained the problem. His response was that they are not aware of this. anyone out there who is looking to help bring this to thier attention, can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
rfritton Posts: 1I just got a phone call with the bill for the very same problem After a week and multiple phone calls, the dealer said it was the rear brake light seal, the back window seal and the drivers side door seal. All at the same time? Give me a break. $800.00 in seals and labor with only 42,000 miles. This is my third Chevy in a row and i'm done. I'm switching brands.
cdsoundzdj Posts: 4I have a 2004 quad cab Canyon and had a leak near the back window as well. I read on another forum about the 3rd brake light and decided to take a look. One forum mentioned repairing it with Frost King door foam.
Once I pulled the light it was evident why I was getting the leak in the headliner on the one side. First off my truck is in the driveway in the same spot and it tilts to one side. Anyway behind the 3rd brake light is a channel and the water was getting in and just finding the lowest spot to come out.
Anyway, I used the Frost King to make a new gasket as the original one caved in around the middle light sockets. After performing this repair it rain like heck in the northeast, actually Irene came to town, and guess what . . . no leaks.
To help my cause because I was unsure how long it was leaking I took a local mechanic's advise and put my home dehumidifier in the truck over night with the windows cranked up. Next morning there was a 12oz glass of water in the bucket. I feel much better knowing that there is less moisture in the truck, but I still have some concern that mildew will occur. -

I own a 2010 Colorado. Every winter since new , I have had the vehicle in for service in a attempt to seal the vehicle to prevent water and salt from entering the vehicle .4 x the dealership has removed the interior, sealed the vehicle and assured me "this will resolve the issue" I have had promises , and assurances from customer service when I voiced my concerns about future electrical issues and the vehicle rusting out. The last time I requested another vehicle , I was assured by Customer Service they would do everything they could. I received a voucher for a oil change and wheel rotation. GM doesn't care about the problems I will be faced going forward , and only dealing with the current problem. I took my vehicle to another dealership recently , as last week I received it back after yet another attempt to seal the car. The dealership I took it to , wouldn't do anything for me as they stated my vehicle is past the 3 year warranty , even though I assured them GM had advised me to take my truck to whoever I wanted for service . I have lost all faith in GM products after exclusively owning a GM product my entire life , over 30 years of driving 4 attempts by dealerships / 4 failures I understand why GM and the other 2 automakers are no longer referred to as the Big 3 , but now referred to as the Detroit 3
These photos were taken last year before repairs .Notice the rust on the seat rails. The vehicle has been in for "repairs " 2 x since then for the same issue. -

I am in the same situation as derrick65. 2010 Colorado. Photos look identical. Also had a leased 2008 that did the same thing in the winter. Had it looked at by the dealer last summer. Took it in 3 times cause each time they either couldn't find the leak or said they they found it and fixed it but they didn't. Carpet has salt ring all around the driver side foot well, bolt that secures the seat belt to the frame completely rusted. Asked for it to be changed out and replace the seat belt last summer but they wouldn't do it. Now I just opened file with GM Customer Care but they said they don't think my Total Plus warranty will cover leaks. If you have similar issues please post it and keep posting about how it is being dealt with so we maybe can help each other.

U.S. hay production is up from year-ago levels, according to last week's Crop Production report from USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
For alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures, NASS forecasts national production of 73 million tons in 2009, up 5% from last year's figure. The average expected yield, at 3.48 tons/acre, is up from 3.32 tons/acre in 2008, with the majority of states showing an increase or no change. Yields are down in only six of the major alfalfa-producing states – Arizona, California, Illinois, New York, Utah and Wisconsin. Harvested area is forecast at 21 million acres, 2,000 fewer than in 2008.
Other hay: Production is forecast at 79.0 million tons, up 4%. Based on Aug. 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 2.01 tons/acre, up 0.06 ton from last year's yield. Harvested area, at 39.2 million acres, is up 113,000 acres. Higher moisture levels in the eastern U.S. and Pacific Northwest increased yields from last year's levels. Moisture deficiencies have reduced yields in several central states, including Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas.

Excited AtomAn atom in which an electron has moved from a lower to higher orbit.Extinction ...
Some excited atomic states take so long to emit a photon that the spectral lines associated with these transitions are never seen in terrestrial laboratories, ...
excited atom An atom with one or more of its bound electrons in an increased energy level. exclusive OR circuit A circuit which produces an output signal when any one, but not more than one, input is in its prescribed state.
extremely highly excited atoms are called Rydberg atoms (Rydberg was an early systematizer of atomic spectra). These atoms are huge (the size of viruses for the largest) and fragile but interact very strongly with radiation.
CHARACTERISTIC X-RAY - X-ray emitted from an excited atom when an outer-shell (e.g. L) electron jumps in to fill an inner-shell (e.g. K) vacancy. It has energy characteristic of the atom and can therefore be used for analytical purposes.
In ordinary light sources the many excited atoms or molecules emit light independently and in many different colors (wavelengths).
(a) The spontaneous ionization of excited atoms, ions, or molecules, as in the Auger effect. see Auger Effect; Ionization [DC99] (b) A phenomenon occurring when a discrete double-excitation state of an atom lies in the ground-state continuum.
An excited atom, one in a high energy state, has an electron in a higher energy orbit than normal. Nothing likes having more energy than it needs, so the electron will drop to a lower energy state.
Most meteors typically measure 1m across and 20km long, and consist of a cylinder of excited atoms and molecules. They are normally seen between 120 and 80km above Earth's surface.
To get back down to the lowest energy level, the electron has to get rid of the energy and does so by emitting light with the appropriate energy to make the transition. Now it is just a plain unexcited atom again.
This causes an electron to be promoted into a higher energy level, and the atom, element or molecule is said to be in an excited state. Emission lines occur when the electrons of an excited atom, element or molecule move between energy levels, ...

After having dug to a depth of 10 yards last year, New York scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the
conclusion that their New York ancestors already had a telephone
network more than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed,
California scientists dug to a depth of 20 yards, and shortly after,
headlines in the LA Times newspaper read:
'California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper
wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced
high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New
Yorkers.' One week later, the 'Ness County News,' a local news paper
in Ness City, KANSAS., reported the following:
'After digging as deep as 30 yards in wheat fields near Beeler, KS,
Larry Guy, a self- taught archaeologist and dyed-in-the-wool Jayhawk
fan, reported that he found absolutely nothing.
Larry has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Kansas had already
gone wireless.'

Nupur Chaudhury
Senior Project Manager
Rebuild By Design
Tell us about your current public service work. Can you briefly describe your employment organization and position responsibilities, as well as any relevant volunteer or entrepreneurial activities?
As the Community Planning and Health Programs Manager at the Brownsville Partnership, I manage all community planning and community health programming in Brownsville, Brooklyn, including programs related to active living, healthy eating, placemaking and neighborhood mobilization. In this role, I directly manage four program coordinators and lead a team of ten. I am building the department as I lead it, so there's a lot of pinch hitting, a lot of building the car while driving, and tons of creative thinking and problem solving!
I began working at the Brownsville Partnership as a health coordinator and I transitioned into my current role after a year with the organization. The shift hasn't been seamless, but I've learned a whole new set of skills that I hadn't encountered as a program coordinator.
Please summarize your professional and academic background. What has been a highlight?
After completing my MUP at Wagner, I continued on to receive my MPH at Columbia one year later.
I was always toggling back and forth between my interests in public health and urban planning and gained an immense amount of knowledge working and interning in both fields, at organizations that focused on both the macro and micro level. Throughout my time in graduate school, I interned and worked part time at the United Nations, the Clinton Foundation, NYC Department of City Planning, the Manhattan Borough Presidents Office, and at the NYU Center for Asian American Health.
What led you to pursue a master's degree in Urban Planning? Why did you decide to study at Wagner?
I grew up in Boston, but my parents are from India. As I traveled back and forth between these two countries and three cities, I longed for the language to articulate the differences between these urban centers. At Bryn Mawr College, where I received my BA, I was able to study and understand these differences. I knew I wanted to do more than just understand the differences; at Wagner, I learned to use tools to change issues I perceived in these cities.
I decided to study at Wagner precisely because the MUP degree was housed in a school of public service, not in a school of architecture. Where traditional urban planning programs focus on hypotheticals, Wagner's program is grounded in reality--and it is that grounding that allowed my transition from student to employee to be a seamless and pleasant one.
In your current position, how do you use the knowledge and skills that you gained at Wagner? Which skills do you use most frequently?
As I work to manage multiple programs and initiatives here in Brownsville Brooklyn, I draw on my knowledge and skills gained from Wagner daily. These include: the ability to work in teams, to synthesis materials and 'get to the point' in a short amount of time, the ability look at the micro and macro level repercussions simultaneously, and the ability to forge strong partnerships with other organizations and individuals in positions that can facilitate a safer, healthier, more prosperous Brownsville.
Reflecting on your academic experience, what Wagner courses, professors, and / or projects had the greatest influence on your professional development? How?
The Capstone experience, above all, taught me more than all my classes combined. It taught me to liaise with clients, get projects done on time, be professional, and be effective. It taught me how to work on a project in a team effectively, and how to advocate for myself.
Reflecting on your time outside of the classroom (social events, orientations, trainings, etc.), can you describe one or two key moments at Wagner that impacted your passion for public service?
Serving on the International Public Service Association (IPSA) Board was a class in itself. As the 'ambassador of fun,' I managed and organized all the social programming for IPSA. It was an amazing experience that taught me how to create invaluable networking opportunities for Wagner students. My success in effectively engaging every student group by co-sponsoring the IPSA potluck, and attracting over 120 attendees was an amazing accomplishment.
Are there any programs, opportunities or other aspects of the Wagner experience that you wish you had leveraged during your time as a student?
I wish I had taken the Project Management course. It is a practical skill I learned on the job, but would have loved to have had a foundation when entering the workforce. In my role as a department manager, a course on managing employees and building effective leaders would have been really helpful as well.
How are you involved with the Wagner community as an alumna (i.e. attending events, mentoring students, maintaining connections with other alumni, recruiting at Wagner, etc.)?
I do my best to keep in touch and maintain my network of friends through organized happy hours and dinners. I actually found my first job at the Brownsville Partnership through a Wagner alum! When job searching, I sent out feelers to my Wagner friends, and when the job description came across one alumna's desk, she immediately thought of me.
Next week, I am meeting with a fellow Wagner alum who is interested in the Brownsville Partnership's on the ground collaborations. I'm always looking to connect with Wagner alumni whose work focuses on healthy communities, either in the realm of urban planning or public health! If that's you, feel free to contact me at email@example.com.

US Release Date:
UK Release Date:
2009-03-06 |
While North American based Xbox 360 owners enjoyed the arcade fighter Battle Fantasia last year, European Xbox 360 and PS3 owners will see it released in their region later this month. Meanwhile, there's been no word on whether the game will ever see the light of day on PS3 in the North American territory.
Until now, that is. Via Siliconera, information has been unearthed at the Entertainment Software Rating Board's official website, where you'll see that Battle Fantasia has had a new platform added next to it. It now reads "PSN via PS3," suggesting that the game may be released as a PlayStation Store download at some point. Considering Battle Fantasia is a 2D fighting game, it shouldn't be a huge download either. Good news for fans of old school beat 'em ups!
Neither the developer, Arc System Works, or the publisher, Aksys Games, has confirmed the title for North America.

There are often a lot of water loving marginal pond plants in public greenhouses and conservatories. I know the one near my house has a lot of different kinds that you wouldn't be able to find in the wild, simply because it is too cold.
They have massive lily pads, at least three feet across, as well as lotus flowers and cattails (which are found in the wild around here, actually). They also have pitcher plants, which are my favorite.
They usually hang them from the ceiling but if you stand on tip toe you can see into the bottom of the plant where the fly is captured.
It's pretty interesting and a good place to hang out in cold weather.

Algernon Charles Swinburne (5 April 1837 – 10 April 1909) was an English poet, playwright, novelist, and critic. He wrote several novels, and contributed to the famous Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in every year from 1903 to 1907 and again in 1909.[1]
Swinburne was born at 7 Chester Street, Grosvenor Place, London, on 5 April 1837. He was the eldest of six children born to Captain (later Admiral) Charles Henry Swinburne and Lady Jane Henrietta, daughter of the 3rd Earl of Ashburnham. He grew up at East Dene in Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight and attended Eton College 1849–53, where he first started writing poetry, and then Balliol College, Oxford 1856–60 with a brief hiatus when he was rusticated from the university in 1859 for having publicly supported the attempted assassination of Napoleon III by Felice Orsini, returning in May 1860, though he never received a degree.
He spent summer holidays at Capheaton Hall in Northumberland, the house of his grandfather, Sir John Swinburne, 6th Baronet (1762–1860) who had a famous library and was President of the Literary and Philosophical Society in Newcastle upon Tyne. Swinburne considered Northumberland to be his native county, an emotion memorably reflected in poems like the intensely patriotic 'Northumberland', 'Grace Darling' and others. He enjoyed riding his pony across the moors (he was a daring horseman) 'through honeyed leagues of the northland border'. He never called it the Scottish border.
In the years 1857–60, Swinburne became one of Lady Pauline Trevelyan's intellectual circle at Wallington Hall and after his grandfather's death in 1860, would stay with William Bell Scott in Newcastle. In 1861 Swinburne visited Menton on the French Riviera to recover from his excessive use of alcohol, staying at the Villa Laurenti.[2] From Menton Swinburne travelled to Italy, where he journeyed extensively.[2] In December 1862, Swinburne accompanied Scott and his guests, probably including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, on a trip to Tynemouth. Scott writes in his memoirs that as they walked by the sea, Swinburne declaimed the as yet unpublished 'Hymn to Proserpine' and 'Laus Veneris' in his lilting intonation, while the waves 'were running the whole length of the long level sands towards Cullercoats and sounding like far-off acclamations'.
At Oxford Swinburne met several Pre-Raphaelites, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti. He also met William Morris. After leaving college he lived in London and started an active writing career, where Rossetti was delighted with his 'little Northumbrian friend', probably a reference to Swinburne's diminutive height—he was just five foot four.[3]
His poetic works include: Atalanta in Calydon (1865), Poems and Ballads (1866), Songs before Sunrise (1871), Poems and Ballads Second Series, (1878) Tristram of Lyonesse (1882), Poems and Ballads Third Series (1889), and the novel Lesbia Brandon (published posthumously in 1952).
Poems and Ballads caused a sensation when it was first published, especially the poems written in homage of Sappho of Lesbos such as "Anactoria" and "Sapphics": Moxon and Co. transferred its publication rights to John Camden Hotten.[4] Other poems in this volume such as "The Leper," "Laus Veneris," and "St Dorothy" evoke a Victorian fascination with the Middle Ages, and are explicitly mediaeval in style, tone and construction. Also featured in this volume are "Hymn to Proserpine", "The Triumph of Time" and "Dolores (Notre-Dame des Sept Douleurs)".
Swinburne devised the poetic form called the roundel, a variation of the French Rondeau form, and some were included in A Century of Roundels dedicated to Christina Rossetti. Swinburne wrote to Edward Burne-Jones in 1883: "I have got a tiny new book of songs or songlets, in one form and all manner of metres ... just coming out, of which Miss Rossetti has accepted the dedication. I hope you and Georgie [his wife Georgiana, one of the MacDonald sisters] will find something to like among a hundred poems of nine lines each, twenty-four of which are about babies or small children". Opinions of these poems vary between those who find them captivating and brilliant, to those who find them merely clever and contrived. One of them, A Baby's Death, was set to music by the English composer Sir Edward Elgar as the song Roundel: The little eyes that never knew Light.
Swinburne was an alcoholic and algolagniac, and a highly excitable character. His health suffered as a result, and in 1879 at the age of 42 he was taken into care by his friend Theodore Watts, who looked after him for the rest of his life at The Pines, 11 Putney Hill, Putney SW15.[5] Thereafter he lost his youthful rebelliousness and developed into a figure of social respectability. It was said of Watts that he saved the man and killed the poet. Swinburne died at the Pines,[6] on 10 April 1909 at the age of 72 and was buried at St. Boniface Church, Bonchurch on the Isle of Wight.
This section needs additional citations for verification. (April 2012) |
Swinburne is considered a decadent poet,[7] although he perhaps professed to more vice than he actually indulged in; Oscar Wilde stated that Swinburne was "a braggart in matters of vice, who had done everything he could to convince his fellow citizens of his homosexuality and bestiality without being in the slightest degree a homosexual or a bestialiser."[8]
Many critics consider his mastery of vocabulary, rhyme and metre impressive,[9] although he has also been criticised for his florid style and word choices that only fit the rhyme scheme rather than contributing to the meaning of the piece.[10] He is the virtual star of the third volume of George Saintsbury's famous History of English Prosody, and A. E. Housman, a more measured and even somewhat hostile critic, had great praise for his rhyming ability:
Swinburne's work was once quite popular among undergraduates at Oxford and Cambridge, though today it has gone out of fashion. This is at least somewhat contextual, as it tends to mirror the popular and academic consensus regarding his work, although his Poems and Ballads, First Series and his Atalanta in Calydon have never been out of critical favour. Atalanta in Calydon in particular has been lauded as one of his best early works, written in 1865, before the passionate excesses of later works earned him a sordid reputation for blasphemy and depravity among contemporary critics.[12]
It was Swinburne's misfortune that the two works, published when he was nearly 30, soon established him as England's premier poet, the successor to Alfred Tennyson and Robert Browning. This was a position he held in the popular mind until his death, but sophisticated critics like A. E. Housman felt, rightly or wrongly, that the job of being one of England's very greatest poets was beyond him.
After the first Poems and Ballads, Swinburne's later poetry is devoted more to philosophy and politics (notably, in favour of the unification of Italy, particularly in the volume Songs before Sunrise). He did not stop writing love poetry entirely (including his great epic-length poem, Tristram of Lyonesse), but the content is much less shocking. His versification, and especially his rhyming technique, remain in top form to the end.
T. S. Eliot read Swinburne's essays on the Shakespearean and Jonsonian dramatists in The Contemporaries of Shakespeare and The Age of Shakespeare and Swinburne's books on Shakespeare and Jonson. Writing on Swinburne in 'The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism', Eliot said, of Swinburne, he had mastered his material, writing 'he is more reliable to them than Hazlitt, Coleridge, or Lamb: and his perception of relative values is almost always correct'. However, Eliot judged Swinburne did not master it to the extent of being able to take liberties with it, which is everything.[13] Furthermore, Eliot disliked Swinburne's prose, about which he wrote "the tumultuous outcry of adjectives, the headstrong rush of undisciplined sentences, are the index to the impatience and perhaps laziness of a disorderly mind."[14]
H. P. Lovecraft considered that Swinburne was "the only real poet in either England or America after the death of Mr. Edgar Allan Poe."[15]

Lately, I've been noticing some vile examples of treating information security incidents in the same way as IT "issues."
Think about it: "my PC is slow today" vs "my $800 million wind turbine schematics are stolen today" … these are TOTALLY the same and should be handled by the same people in the same way.
People, what kind of stuff are you smoking? This is totally and certifiably crazy!
One example comes from a recent conversation with somebody who said that the sole focus of his security IR program is to "restore IT service." So, if the attackers steal all his payment data, employee data, deploy bots [well-written ones, that don't disrupt his IT service], change corporate records, snoop on their executives' private messages, etc, etc, etc , his "incident responders" won't even get out of bed. Seriously? However, if a user reports that something (probably malware) opens too many windows, and that interferes with work, they will perform their "reimage and restore" magic.
In any case, I am shocked that I have to explain it, but let me still try:
- For those who like to preach the "security and business alignment" theme, think of security IR as responding to a "business incident," not an IT issue.
- For those stuck in compliance-land, think of a data breach. Does it reduce your IT service? Probably not. Will it affect your organization? Oh, yes. Therefore, response becomes essential.
- For those ITIL lovers, keep loving it. Just don't confuse the word "incident" in ITIL with a security incident. This is "lead pipe vs lead guitar" all over again…
- For those with LEO thinking, think of security incidents as … computer crimes. Some are and many aren't, but *crime* is not thought of as an IT problem.
Now, I am not advocating more silos and walls between IT and infosec (well, sometimes you do need walls – think rogue sysadmin investigations). IT helpdesk often serves as a useful "intrusion detection system" that can reveal anomalies to a security team. Similarly, remediation activities will involve opening tickets, engaging with system administrators, making system changes, etc. Collaboration and cooperation though is NOT the same as equality.
The difference between IT issue resolution and security incident response is HUGE and UNAMBIGUOUS. Keep that in mind!

Republicans Reject Another Portion of Obama's Jobs Bill
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- President Barack Obama's $447 billion job bill hit another bump Thursday as Senate Republicans failed to pass a $60 billion proposal to repair bridges, highways and other infrastructure in poor condition.
The proposal aimed to help construction workers who have had a particularly difficult time finding jobs because of the collapse of the housing market. The measure called for $50 billion in spending to mend bridges, roads, airports and other transit and rail systems in addition to $10 billion in loan funding to help pay for crucial projects, according to a Reuters report.
The president's job package has had a hard time finding support from Republicans since it would be partially paid for by tax increases on the wealthy.
Nevertheless, Senate Democrats have endeavored to keep the package alive by breaking it up into separate components, forcing Republicans to vote on legislation that has strong backing from Americans who are worried about continued weakness in the labor market.
Friday brings the latest data on the jobs market with the Labor Department's October employment report at 8:30 a.m. ET. Economists are expecting non-farm payrolls to rise by 95,000 and the private sector is projected to show gains of 120,000, according to Thomson Reuters estimates. The unemployment rate, however, is expected to remain at 9.1%. -- Written by Melinda Peer in New York.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

New research from Restaurant Sciences LLC, an independent firm that tracks food and beverage product sales in North America, shows that high-volume and sub-premium beers have experienced a price jump at restaurants throughout the past seven months.
Popular American brands such as Budweiser, Coors Light, Miller Lite and Pabst Blue Ribbon, have seen a 3.5 to 6.8 percent price jump in eating and drinking establishments since October 2012.
"While all the attention has been on craft (ultra-premium) beers, the price of mainstay brands in the mid-price (premium) tier have risen more dramatically. And traditionally lower-priced beers such as Pabst Blue Ribbon have seen sizeable double-digit price increases in both restaurants and bars & nightclubs," said Chuck Ellis, president of Restaurant Sciences LLC.
He adds that the only segment of the restaurant industry holding the price line on these beers is the value-conscious family dining segment, with average per-party checks under $40.

We bipedal primates have been playing versions of this game for many centuries, except that sometime around 750,000 years ago, we learned to throw our animal products into or on top of a fire and thus exponentially increase their value as a whoopee incentive. From there to Bobby Flay was just a minor evolutionary hop (some might say backward). If you've ever wondered why Dad sweated and swore over the old Weber or why so many restaurants use the word Grill or Grille in their titles, just think of it as the contemporary equivalent of dangling dead monkey meat.
Pure carnivores in the animal kingdom have lower IQs than their omnivorous cousins: That's why a bit of char-grilled broccolini with your veal saltimbocca is so important (glucose is literally brain food). But we love our meat, and we love it even better cooked there's something sexy and soothing about the smell of fire, and the effect scientists call the browning or Maillard reaction is an appetite stimulant apparently written into our very genes. When a smart chef, who presumably has been eating his vegetables, throws a steak over wood coals, it develops a complex and intensely flavored crust that smells, depending on whom you ask, like scorched grass or onions or earth or cinnamon or wildflowers, from the combination of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms that develops. Sadly, not every eatery that calls itself a grill is anything of the sort the word doesn't mean anything much beyond a reassurance that your food will come out warm. But Rino Balzano put in a real wood-burning oven and grill when he opened his Tuscan Grill a little over a year ago on Las Olas Boulevard, and he uses it for everything from his puffy breads and stuffed quail to an appetizer of Bosc pears with gorgonzola and spec. And he really knows what to do when faced with a pork chop and an open flame.
1105 E. Las Olas Blvd.
Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
Category: Restaurant > Contemporary
Region: Fort Lauderdale
Balzano, chef to the stars (portraits of Rino mugging for the camera with the beautiful people line these walls), is something of a local celebrity himself; he's known for "miking up" during dinner hours, as he's prone to sing arias for his delighted customers. Balzano has been involved with a string of restaurants in South Florida; now, for the time being, he's concentrating his energies on Rino's Ristorante in Coral Springs and the showcase Grill, where he continues to mix things up with events like his "summer in Italy" Monday-night series during the off months and a changing array of lunch and tapas items for daytime nibblers. It's a cozy and somewhat unassuming space inside blond woods and lots of photos, framed write-ups, and awards on the walls and a long bar with, last time we visited, a matching platinum-blond bartender. Drawn to her light, single men tend to line this bar and linger well beyond the last bite of tiramisu. There's a beautiful waterfront patio too that is open on busy and balmy evenings.
Rino's menu takes classic Tuscan dishes and specialties from the northeastern coast of Italy and douses them with his personal magic. He likes to say he serves "people food": hearty, comforting dishes for the most part free of visual frills and chills but drawing on the dense, earthy ingredients wild mushrooms, tomatoes, game meats that Tuscan cuisine is known for. Dinner begins with a warm, hollow bubble of golden bread, yeasty and weightless, to rip apart as accompaniment for deliciously gritty, salty hunks of Grana Padano and multicolored imported olives and hot peppers.
After we'd settled in, a waiter came over to recite the night's specials, but he seemed confused and hesitant, forgetting to describe preparations and omitting whole dishes; he succeeded only in confusing us. Flustered, he scurried off. When his grizzled elder, who had a thorough grip on the kitchen, came to take our order, he was better able to elaborate. It was no time to be stingy, and diets be damned. We were going for the full four courses as a gastronomic tour of Balzano's expertise.
We started with a plate of fresh buffalo milk mozzarella (Funghi di Bosco, $12), great creamy rounds of subtly flavored cheese, dense and chewy, topped with a forest-scented ragu of wild mushrooms with oven-roasted tomatoes in a reduced veal stock. The complicated flavors and warmth of wild mushrooms make a terrific foil for that cool, pillowy cheese and the tart, lightly charred tomatoes. Other appetite stimulants include salads (a classic caesar, an arugula with pear, a fantasia of gorgonzola, apples, and walnuts), pasta e fagiole, beef carpaccio with arugula and slices of fennel, and littleneck clams cooked in wine.
Fresh pasta is a house specialty, so a half order between courses is a necessary pleasure. The tortelli zucca ($10), stuffed with amaretto-infused pumpkin, drizzled with sage-flavored brown butter, and scattered with pine nuts, is luscious and warming, exuding sweetness without ever cloying. It was divine. We loved the parpardelle lepre ($10) too, an old-world specialty (we Americans don't eat much bunny, for some reason) that braises the pale, mild rabbit meat with rosemary and vegetables, then serves it shredded in a creamy light sauce of tomato, herbs, and wine, tossed together with the fat, toothsome noodles. A grinding of black pepper, a sprinkling of freshly grated cheese and this dish was outstanding; we couldn't stop thinking about it later, an exotic beauty. Other house specialties include a black ravioli made with squid ink and stuffed with lobster, and Rino's flash-fried calamari rings tossed with cherry peppers and greens.

Dr. David Dean to launch Piedmont's first heart transplant program. Dr. David Kandzari to lead national clinical trials from Atlanta base.
ATLANTA, Ga (August 19, 2010) – With a vision to deliver the highest standards in cardiovascular care, Piedmont Heart Institute (PHI) welcomes two experts in the field of cardiovascular medicine this month -- David Dean, M.D., cardiothoracic, heart transplant and ventricular assist device surgeon as well as a nationally recognized thought leader and researcher; and David Kandzari, M.D., internationally renowned clinical interventional cardiologist and researcher. As leaders in cardiovascular surgery and medicine, Doctors Dean and Kandzari will continue to draw the national spotlight to PHI as a recognized destination for cardiovascular excellence in the Southeast.
Piedmont Heart Institute is a cardiovascular care program headquartered at Piedmont Hospital, which was the recipient of a 2010 HealthGrades® award for Best in Atlanta for Overall Cardiac Care, Cardiac Surgery and Coronary Intervention. Piedmont Heart Institute also receives top patient satisfaction scores, averaging in the 87th percentile for the first four months of 2010.
"The addition of Doctors Dean and Kandzari signifies a critical milestone in our vision – moving from a tertiary to a quaternary cardiovascular care center," said William D. Knopf, M.D., chief operating officer of Piedmont Heart Institute and vice president of Cardiovascular Services at Piedmont Hospital. "Combined with our existing clinical capabilities and research program, the addition of these exemplary physicians creates an unparalleled level of quality in the metro Atlanta market."
David Dean, M.D. Joining Piedmont Heart Institute from Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa., Dr. Dean will launch PHI's heart transplant program. The addition of this acclaimed transplant surgeon, who sits on the heart review board of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/ United Network for Organ Sharing, moves PHI from a tertiary cardiac care provider to a quaternary one.
There are only three other hospitals in Georgia which perform heart transplants, and no others that have a physician primarily devoted to adult heart transplantation, as Dr. Dean will be. The start of heart transplant expands on the services currently being offered through the Piedmont Hospital Transplant Institute, which includes kidney, pancreas and liver transplantation. This foundation in transplant enables Piedmont physicians to draw upon their overall transplant experience to deliver best-in-class care. Dr. Dean is passionate about the use of new cardiovascular technologies to prolong life and has gained national recognition for his research. A principle investigator and prominent expert in the area of ventricular assist devices, which allow a pump to assist and augment a failing heart, Dr. Dean is able to sustain the life of those patients who are awaiting heart transplants, as well as those who are not deemed candidates for heart transplant. With Dr. Dean's arrival, patients will gain further access to advanced technology in ventricular assist devices and be able to have these procedures at Piedmont Healthcare's flagship cardiovascular center, the Fuqua Heart Center of Atlanta at Piedmont Hospital.
David Kandzari, M.D. Dr. Kandzari has achieved international recognition for his work in the field of interventional cardiology. A former professor at Duke University's Cardiovascular Research Institute and former chief medical officer at Johnson & Johnson's Cordis Corporation, Dr. Kandzari is also an ad hoc medical reviewer to the FDA and committee member on the FDA Circulatory Systems Devices Panel. As a national principal investigator for a number of multi-center cardiovascular trials, Dr. Kandzari has been responsible for leading numerous studies related to drug-eluting stents, antithrombotic therapies and additional novel therapies in both coronary and peripheral artery disease. His highly-regarded work puts him at the forefront of designing and shepherding new treatments and technologies, which he will bring to the patients served by PHI.
In his role, Dr. Kandzari will split his focus equally between clinical patient care and developing and leading a robust national research program. His tremendous research experience and his world-renowned expertise opens the way for PHI to take a leading role in current and future clinical trials – even expanding beyond cardiovascular care and treatment.

Teaching has been taking place in Oxford since 1096. Former Oxford students include 26 British Prime Ministers; at least 30 international leaders and 26 Nobel Prize winners. Admission is very difficult for a student as standards are very high. There are over 22,000 students at Oxford, including 11,832 undergraduates and 9,857 postgraduates.
Tutorials are at the heart of teaching at Oxford. A tutorial is a lesson with a tutor usually taking place once or twice every week. Tutors are experts in their field and often world-leaders. Students have to prepare work in advance, for example an essay or some mathematical problems, which they then discuss in the tutorial. Through tutorials, students develop powers of independent, critical thought; analytical and problem-solving abilities, and written and oral communication skills.
Oxford has more world-leading academics than any other UK university. It has the highest research income from external sponsors of any UK university, and receives the highest level of quality research funding from HEFCE. Oxford has a world-class reputation for academic excellence and courses have an academic rather than vocational focus. Many Oxford academics are international experts in their chosen fields in all disciplines of the sciences and arts. The university is consistently in the top four of the World's Top 200 league tables.
UBS Oxford is a private college founded by Oxford graduates and academics. It aims to reach the same quality standards as Oxford University. Of itself it has an administrative and marketing presence in Oxford and Delhi and carries out lecturing in Oxford University colleges during their vacation periods. In this way UBS Oxford students get not only the quality content of its courses but also the atmosphere of genuine Oxford academia.
