Enstitute co-founder Kane Sarhan to keynote Tenth Annual Pace Pitch Contest, Thursday, April 17
Enstitute co-founder Kane Sarhan to keynote Tenth Annual Pace Pitch Contest, Thursday, April 17
Student entrepreneurs to deliver new business concept presentations to a distinguished panel of judges
New York, NY -- April 10, 2014 – Pace University's Lubin School of Business will hold its tenth annual Pitch Contest on Thursday, April 17 at the University's lower Manhattan campus, east of City Hall and six blocks from Wall Street. The event is presented by Lubin's state-of-the-art Entrepreneurship Lab (eLab), which opened in February 2012.
Kane Sarhan, co-founder of Enstitute, will be the keynote speaker. Previously, Sarhan launched and ran his own magazine, The College Gossip Chronicles; raised over $100k for hackNY, a nonprofit in New York City; and was the creative director at LocalResponse, a top New York City tech startup.
The Pace Pitch Contest is based on the "elevator pitch" concept popular in the venture capital community. It is an extremely concise presentation of an entrepreneur's idea, business model, marketing strategy, competitive analysis, and financial plan, which is delivered to potential investors. The premise is that it could be made in a few minutes should the entrepreneur spot a potential investor on an elevator and have the opportunity to pitch his or her idea during the brief ride.
Seven finalists have been selected to compete:
Accern is a quantitative content detection platform tailored for institutional investors to help users detect events that could affect their equities before they arise in the mainstream media channels. By doing so, Accern has put institutional investors in a unique position to make strategic investment moves before the crowd and significantly minimize risks on their current holdings.
Alive Inside is developing mobile applications for Android and iOS devices that will be utilized by dementia and Alzheimer's patients to stimulate their memory through music of their youth and special life moments, and hence improve their quality of life and hopefully create an improved daily demeanor.
HydroGeneratioNexTechnologies is designed to completely redefine what it means to have a wastewater treatment system by creating electricity from sewer water. This will provide an alternative, carbonless fuel source, as well as a long-term solution for wastewater treatment by utilizing a by-product as an energy resource.
Novaux is creating a virtual currency point-of-sale (POS) system that will improve current POS software and the technology associated with it. The product will initially target the food and beverage industry with the goal of eventually expanding into other markets. Software will be distributed through the app stores, with point-of-sale systems and technical support sold as a complement to that software.
SheerStock is a convenient monthly subscription service for women that delivers a variety of hosiery products, such as tights, stockings, and thigh-highs. The goal of SheerStock is to provide the customer with multiple pairs of legwear each month that are appropriate for a variety of occasions and will save the customer from "making the trip if they've found a rip."
STRIP is a company that has created a small, convenient, and disposable strip of paper with a chemical reaction indicator at the end, specific for the monosodium glutamate (MSG) amino acid derivative, glutamic acid. This product allows you to test for the presence of MSG, a commonly used flavor enhancer, with just a swipe on or through your food.
Interview Master is an online portal that gives job seekers the upper hand by connecting them with relevant and experienced interviewers in their field. Interviewees are able to get valuable feedback from mentors and fine tune interview techniques, which will improve their chance of landing the job of their dreams in an extremely competitive environment.
Each finalist will have exactly three minutes to pitch their new venture idea to a distinguished panel of judges. Panelists include Bal Agrawal, CEO, LifeWorx, Inc.; Ellen Carey, Manager, Global Impact Investing Network; Mary Howard, Principal, designtechnologies; and Anna Khan, Venture Capitalist, Bessemer Venture Partners.
"It's quite rewarding to see the Pace Pitch Contest reach the ten-year mark," said Professor Bruce Bachenheimer, organizer of the event. "I believe it continues to provide students with a unique opportunity to better understand entrepreneurship and helps them develop a variety of critical skills, such as market research, financial analysis and oral communications. Seeing the pitches and listening to the judges is an enjoyable way for the audience to better appreciate the challenges of launching a new venture."
The event will be held on Thursday, April 17 at One Pace Plaza, Aniello Bianco Room, New York City campus, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Cash prizes will be awarded to the winners.
5:30 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Registration and Networking

. . . With its commitment to original content, Microsoft is trying to add value to its Xbox gaming console, which hasn't fared as well as Sony's PlayStation 4.
"Everyone is trying to bring eyeballs to their portals," Jonathan H. Hill, an associate dean at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University, told TechNewsWorld.
"Xbox has been one of Microsoft's few real winners over the last four or five years so this is a way to keep gamers in Xbox," he said.
"Traditional gamers have been moving away from Xbox, so by trying to blend the two worlds -- the entertainment world and the gaming world -- it's a way to stay current and keep eyeballs," Hill reasoned.

. . . There are downsides to subscription boxes. The quality of new, untested brands is not always top-notch. Not everything will suit shoppers' tastes. And consumers may lose interest but be too harried to take the extra step of canceling their membership.
"By the time people realize they don't want [a service] anymore, it takes time for them to cancel it," said Larry Chiagouris, a marketing professor at the Lubin School of Business at Pace University in New York. "The real money is in the inertia."

A split has emerged among federal appeals courts over whether corporations can be held liable in U.S. courtrooms for human rights abuses conducted overseas—with the California-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, as usual, charting its own course for corporate liability.
That court decided on a 6-5 vote in late October that mining giant Rio Tinto could be held liable under the Alien Tort Statute (ATS) for allegations that the company aided the Papua New Guinea government in committing genocide and war crimes. It was the latest ruling in a running legal dispute over whether companies can be held liable in the United States under the ATS for charges of human rights violations in foreign countries. Last year, the New York-based Second Circuit Court held that the ATS extends only to civil actions against individuals, not actions against corporations.
Shortly after the Ninth Circuit Court's ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case this term that will finally settle the controversial question. The case, Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, stems from a lawsuit filed by the families of seven Nigerians over accusations that Royal Dutch Petroleum, Shell Transport and Trading Co., and their subsidiary Shell Petroleum Development Co. of Nigeria aided the Nigerian government in violently suppressing protests against oil exploration in the area.
"It will be the big international law case of the term," says John Bellinger, a partner at Arnold & Porter and former State Department legal adviser for the Bush Administration. Given how closely watched Kiobel will be by businesses, human rights, and academic groups, "there probably will be more amicus briefs filed in this case than any other case this term, maybe even more than healthcare," he says.
So far, only the Second Circuit decision has gone in favor of the corporate defendants. In dismissing the plaintiffs' claims, the court reasoned that "no corporation has ever been subject to any form of liability (whether civil or criminal) under the customary international law of human rights."
In February, after a sharply divided 5-5 vote denying a rehearing en banc—where all of the judges in the circuit would hear the case—plaintiffs filed a U.S. Supreme Court cert petition, which was granted on Oct. 17. The High Court combined Kiobel with Mohamad v. Rajoub, which also poses the question of whether companies may be held liable under the Torture Victim Protection Act.
Since Kiobel, no other appellate court has adopted the Second Circuit's view, with the D.C., Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits ruling in favor of corporate liability under the ATS. "Kiobel has become an outlier," says Susan Farbstein, associate clinical director at Harvard Law School's Human Rights Program. "Before Kiobel, circuit courts presented with corporate ATS cases have consistently assumed that corporations could be held liable under the statute."
In the Rio Tinto case the Ninth Circuit specifically rejected the Second Circuit's holding that "international law as a whole" does not recognize the doctrine of corporate liability. In reversing a district court dismissal, the Ninth Circuit majority held that the ATS "provides a domestic forum for claims based on conduct that is illegal everywhere."
"The question of whether a corporation could be held liable was not a major factor until Kiobel. The most important thing is that we will have clarity after the decision on this issue."
—Tyler Giannini,
Clinical Professor of Law,
Harvard Law School
In dissent, Judge Andrew Kleinfeld criticized the majority for creating a "new imperialism, entitling our court, and not the peoples of other countries, to make the law governing persons within those countries." The ruling means "we on the Ninth Circuit now exercise jurisdiction over all the earth, on whatever matters we decide are so important that all civilized people should agree with us."
Judge Sandra Ikuta also disagreed with the majority. "The dangers created by the majority's method of creating (or 'recognizing') international rules of law, to say nothing of their application to foreign nationals suing one another in federal court, are obvious," she said. "I dissent from this ill-conceived, ill-reasoned, and, I fear, ill-fated exercise of judicial power."
The case now goes back to the district court for further proceedings. Rio Tinto did not respond to requests for comment.
In another case, Doe v. Exxon Mobil, the District of Columbia Circuit Court held that aiding and abetting liability is well established under the ATS. In that case, decided in July, Indonesian villagers filed a complaint in 2001 alleging that Exxon's security forces committed genocide, extrajudicial killing, torture, and crimes against humanity in violation of ATS.
In an extensive 112-page opinion, the majority in a 2-1 vote held that "neither the text, history, nor purpose of the ATS supports corporate immunity for torts based on heinous conduct allegedly committed by its agents in violation of the law of nations." Judge Brett Kavanaugh argued in his dissent that the ATS was not meant to apply to conduct in foreign countries.
The excerpt below from Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum explains the U.S. Court of Appeals' Decision in the Kiobel case.
Plaintiffs assert claims for aiding and abetting violations of the law of nations against
defendants—all of which are corporations—under the Alien Tort Statute ("ATS"), 28 U.S.C. § 1350,
a statute enacted by the first Congress as part of the Judiciary Act of 1789. We hold, under the
precedents of the Supreme Court and our own Court over the past three decades, that in ATS suits
alleging violations of customary international law, the scope of liability—who is liable for what—is
determined by customary international law itself. Because customary international law consists of
only those norms that are specific, universal, and obligatory in the relations of States inter se, and
because no corporation has ever been subject to any form of liability (whether civil or criminal)
under the customary international law of human rights, we hold that corporate liability is not a
discernable—much less universally recognized—norm of customary international law that we may
apply pursuant to the ATS. Accordingly, plaintiffs' ATS claims must be dismissed for lack of
subject matter jurisdiction.
The order of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (Kimba
M. Wood, Judge) is AFFIRMED insofar as it dismissed plaintiffs' claims against the corporate
defendants and REVERSED insofar as it declined to dismiss plaintiffs' claims against the corporate
Judge Leval concurs only in the judgment of the Court dismissing the complaint and files a
separate opinion.
Source: Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum.
Days following the Exxon case, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals on July 11 found in Flomo v. Firestone Natural Rubber that federal common law allows U.S. courts to address corporate violations of customary international law. That case accused Firestone of using and encouraging child laborers to perform hazardous tasks on a rubber plantation in Liberia in violation of customary international law.
The court also addressed whether aiding and abetting applies to a corporate defendant that merely buys tires made from rubber produced at a foreign plantation using child labor. The court concluded, however, that this would stretch customary international law too far.
"This suggests that liability for aiding and abetting violations of international law must be based not merely on knowledge, but also on assistance beyond routine activities that have the effect of advancing the violation," wrote law firm Pepper Hamilton in a client alert.
Potential Implications
"This may be a case of good news and bad news if the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately affirms Kiobel," says Bellinger. The good news is that corporations would no longer be liable under ATS, but the bad news is plaintiffs would simply start filing lawsuits against individual corporate officers, directors, and managers, he says.
Given the Supreme Court's decision in Sosa v. Alvarez-Machain, its only priorcase to address the ATS, Bellinger says it's likely the Court will affirm the Second Circuit's decision. "The Supreme Court historically has been very cautious and conservative about expanding or broadly reading the ATS," he says.
"U.S. courts have been open to survivors of human rights abuses for decades, and the question of whether a corporation was completely exempt from liability was not a factor until Kiobel," says Tyler Giannini, Clinical Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and Clinical Director of its Human Rights Program. "The Supreme Court will clarify whether U.S. courts will be open to victims' claims going forward."
The Court is expected to hear the Kiobel case in February, with a decision expected by June.

Conservative media outlets hyped a misleading Breitbart report on an "Islamic Tribunal using Sharia law" in Texas to fear monger that the tribunals could supersede federal law. But the tribunals are completely voluntary and do not override federal law.
Five years after the Supreme Court opened the floodgates of campaign spending with its Citizens United decision, top newspapers in the three states with the most expensive judicial campaigns, Ohio, Alabama, and Texas, have largely failed to connect Citizens United with major changes in these races. The influx of money into state judicial elections following the decision has accelerated negative advertisements and campaign financing that may influence judges' decisions.
From the January 18 edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:

This January marks the fifth anniversary of Citizens United v. FEC, the 2010 Supreme Court case that expanded the idea of "corporate personhood" by ruling that the First Amendment protects a corporation's right to make unlimited expenditures in support of political candidates as a form of speech. Network news coverage of its legal impact, however, has largely ignored how the Supreme Court continues to aggressively expand the decision.
This expansion of corporate rights has wide-ranging consequences, even outside of the context of campaign finance deregulation. The court's decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, for example, seemed to embrace the idea that corporations are capable of morally objecting to contraception coverage, co-opting yet another constitutional right -- that of religion -- that had previously been reserved for people, not businesses.
In terms of election law, the conservative justices further dismantled campaign finance restrictions in 2014's McCutcheon v. FEC, which struck down aggregate campaign donation limits and allowed wealthy donors to contribute money to a virtually unlimited number of candidates and political parties. The court will hear yet another campaign finance case on January 20 called Williams-Yulee v. the Florida Bar, which could strike down a Florida rule that prohibits judicial candidates from directly soliciting money from donors -- a rule that was put in place in response to a serious corruption scandal that resulted in the resignations of four Florida Supreme Court justices.
Yet despite the cascade of decisions from conservative justices intent on dismantling campaign finance regulations and rewriting corporate rights -- and the majority of Americans who support a constitutional amendment that would overturn Citizens United -- the media have largely underreported this story.
Here are four graphics that illustrate this failure.
On January 20, the day before the five-year anniversary of Citizens United, the Supreme Court will hear yet another case that could roll back campaign finance restrictions, this time for judicial elections. Here is a media guide to some of the legal briefs filed by experts in that case, Williams-Yulee v. the Florida Bar, which warn that allowing judges to solicit campaign donations directly is a recipe for disaster.
The National Rifle Association's news show Cam & Company hosted an attorney to attack as "frivolous" and "irresponsible" a lawsuit filed against NRA corporate donor Bushmaster for making the gun used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
On December 13, several Newtown families sued Bushmaster under a "negligent entrustment" theory for the gun manufacturer's role in putting an assault weapon into the hands of a gunman who killed 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. The lawsuit also named Bushmaster's parent company, Remington Arms Company, as well as the seller and the distributor of the gun.
Steve Halbrook, an attorney who writes about the Second Amendment and other gun issues, joined Cam & Company on December 16 to repeatedly suggest that the lawsuit was "frivolous," call for the complaint to be dismissed, and argue that Bushmaster may be entitled to compensation for attorney's fees. Halbrook is also the author of a book that advances the ahistorical claim that gun restrictions were responsible for Hitler's rise to power and served as counsel for the NRA in the landmark Supreme Court case McDonald v. Chicago.)
During his appearance, Halbrook said that the plaintiffs -- who are family members of teachers and children who were killed at Newtown, as well as one survivor of the attack -- and their lawyers were "extremely irresponsible" to file the lawsuit.
Radio host and Fox News personality Sean Hannity applauded and seemingly claimed credit for a federal judge's district court ruling in Pennsylvania that found President Obama's executive action deferring deportation for millions of undocumented family members of U.S. citizens or lawfully permanent residents to be unconstitutional.
The Washington Post's Volokh Conspiracy blog reported that Judge Arthur Schwab, appointed to the federal bench by President George W. Bush, "declared aspects of President Obama's executive actions on immigration policy unconstitutional," in a first of its kind opinion that is already being criticized for reaching beyond its scope to decide a constitutional question not before it.
Upon hearing Schwab's opinion, Sean Hannity wasted no time claiming partial credit for the decision. On the December 16 edition of The Sean Hannity Show, he said of the ruling, "I gotta tell you something, it almost could've been written by me, because he makes the very arguments that I had been making the entire time."
Hannity's guest, Jamie Dupree, agreed that the ruling "echoes a lot of the arguments that Republicans have been making about these actions over the last few weeks."
In fact, the Republican arguments, promoted incessantly by figures like Rush Limbaugh and Hannity, have been rejected as baseless by most legal experts across the political spectrum and President Obama's recent actions have ample precedent in the past executive actions of former presidents like Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush.

Fox News host Mike Huckabee advised Republicans to "grow a spine" and oppose marriage equality, blasting court rulings overturning same-sex marriage bans as "the betrayal of our Constitution."
During an October 7 interview with the anti-gay American Family Association's radio program, Huckabee said that he's "utterly exasperation with Republicans ... who have abdicated on this issue," and warned that he might leave the Republican Party and become an independent if the GOP stops fighting marriage equality. The former governor of Arkansas is reportedly considering a run for president in 2016.
Huckabee reiterated his criticism in the opening monologue of his October 11 Fox News show. Huckabee denounced the court decisions that led to same-sex marriage becoming legal in several more states, emphasizing that judges overruled "the collective votes of the people themselves" in a "betrayal of our Constitution." He concluded that he is "utterly disgusted" with Republican governors and other officials that complied with the court orders overturning same-sex marriage bans, arguing that they should "[g]row a spine, show a modicum of knowledge about the way we govern ourselves, and lead, follow, or get the heck out of the way."

National Review Online's foremost legal analyst is continuing his colleagues' attacks on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg by criticizing her for "speaking publicly on abortion policy," despite previously defending Justice Antonin Scalia's penchant for similar public comments and interviews.
In the past week, National Review "roving correspondent" Kevin Williamson echoed his outlet's debunked insinuations from 2009 that Ginsburg supported eugenics. Williamson accused her of harboring a "desire to see as many poor children killed as is feasibly possible," an argument that NRO editor-at-large Jonah Goldberg offered "three cheers for" and that Williamson later compounded when he argued that women who have abortions should be hanged. NRO legal analyst Ed Whelan continued the attacks on Ginsburg, joining other anti-choice voices in condemning Ginsburg's statements in a recent interview in which she criticized a Texas law that closed down a number of the state's reproductive health clinics, arguing that commenting on legislation that could soon be before the Supreme Court was grounds for her recusal.
But Whelan went on to broaden his critique of Ginsburg, suggesting in a later post that she not speak publicly about abortion policy at all, regardless of whether it is in reference to a reproductive justice case before the court or not. In a September 30 blog post, Whelan complained about Ginsburg speaking "on all sorts of other matters related to abortion policy" and suggested that it was improper for the justice to "speak her mind openly on this matter."
Whelan's condemnation of Ginsburg and her discussion of general "abortion policy" appears inconsistent with his defense of his former boss, Justice Antonin Scalia, who also frequently speaks on contentious public policy. For example, in 2011, when Scalia spoke at a "closed-door session with a group of conservative lawmakers," Whelan balked at the suggestion that Scalia's attendance at a Tea Party function was inappropriate. According to The New York Times:
M. Edward Whelan, president of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and a former clerk to Justice Scalia, disputed [George Washington University law professor Jonathan] Turley's criticism.
"Does he think it's improper for any justice ever to speak to any group of members of Congress who might be perceived as sharing the same general political disposition?" Mr. Whelan told The Los Angeles Times. "My guess is that, schedule permitting, Scalia would be happy to speak on the same topic to any similarly sized group of members of Congress who invited him."
From the August 12 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier:

Fox News was quick to celebrate a federal appellate court's split decision striking down a crucial part of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), even though that ruling was almost immediately rebuked by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, consistent with the decisions of two other federal courts and the widespread opinion of legal experts.
On July 22, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued its decision in Halbig v. Burwell, with the two Republican appointees on the three-judge panel holding that a provision of the ACA counterintuitively makes health insurance unaffordable for millions of Americans by prohibiting the IRS from providing tax credits to consumers who live in states that refused to set up health insurance exchanges. Those consumers must instead buy insurance from the federal exchange website, and many had relied on the tax credits to reduce the cost of insurance. The legal theory behind this lawsuit -- that the "Affordable Care Act" would somehow decline to provide affordable care to its intended beneficiaries -- has been hyped by right-wing media since the lawsuit was filed. National Review Online called the suit "ingenious," and Washington Post columnist George Will claimed that the IRS's clarification that tax credits are available in both state and federally-run health care exchanges was an example of the agency's "breezy indifference to legality."
Fox News immediately jumped on board with the two Republican judges' validation of this right-wing legal challenge, despite the dissent's warning that "this case is about Appellants' not-so-veiled attempt to gut" the ACA rather than sound statutory interpretation.
On the July 22 edition of Outnumbered, the panel accused the Obama administration of "ignoring the ruling of the D.C. Circuit" by announcing that it would unremarkably continue to provide the subsidies while the case was appealed, but still complained about the cost of premiums that will go up if subsidies are eliminated. Co-host Harris Faulkner complained that the ruling "reminds me of the infamous quote, 'if you like your doctor, you can keep it'" since consumers may not be able to obtain cost-saving tax subsidies in the wake of the Halbig decision. Neither Faulkner, nor any of her co-hosts, mentioned the right-wing origins of this suit -- or the fact that the express purpose of Halbig and other cases like it, was to "stop the Obama health care law" by making it too expensive for consumers to purchase without tax credits.

Rockefeller Ecommerce Scam Bill Heads to President's Desk
- 16-Dec-10 |

More Articles » - Tweet
The House of Representatives has approved legislation that aims to stamp out an ecommerce scam that a handful of marketing firms allegedly used to bilk consumers out of more than a billion dollars, sending the measure to President Obama's desk for signing.
The Restore Online Shoppers' Confidence Act, introduced by Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W.V.) in May and passed by the Senate in November, easily cleared the House by a voice vote on Wednesday.
The measure would establish a set of restrictions on the activities of so-called post-transaction marketers, firms that partner with ecommerce websites to display offers after a shopper has completed a purchase. Last year, Rockefeller, who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, led an investigation into three such marketing firms and their ecommerce partners, finding that they had duped consumers into registering for fee-based clubs that billed automatically each month, recurring fees that the committee found added up to $1.4 billion.
The companies in question, identified as Affinion, Vertrue and Webloyalty, were alleged to have partnered with well-known Internet merchants such as Blockbuster and Pizza Hut, who furnished them with customers' payment information, including credit card numbers. After a customer completed a transaction, a pop-up window would appear offering a rebate or a discount on a future purchase.
In the absence of obvious language identifying the company behind the offer, consumers assumed that it came from the merchant with whom they had initiated the purchase. But once they clicked through, they were unknowingly enrolled in a loyalty program run by the post-transaction marketers, which, with payment information in hand, began automatically billing the consumers, who would only become aware of the mysterious charges if they scrutinized their credit card bill or bank statement.
"This is a victory for American consumers. This legislation provides new standards that make sure businesses can't bill online shoppers for services they did not want to buy," Rockefeller said of the bill's passage in a statement. "It's not the way business should be done in America -- and now it will end. We're slamming the door on this billion-dollar scam.
The bill, expected to be signed into law shortly, would require post-transaction marketers to obtain express, informed consent from consumers before enrolling them in a fee-based program. They would also be mandated to provide a clear description of the product they are offering and to disclose that they are not affiliated with the initial merchant.
The bill includes in its threshold of expressed and informed consent the requirement that post-transaction marketers obtain consumers' full 16-digit account number before it enrolls them in a program, and prohibits ecommerce sites from passing along payment information.
It would also stipulate certain disclosure requirements about the terms of recurring fee-based programs, including the length of a trial period and instructions for cancelling membership
The bill would grant the Federal Trade Commission with the authority to enforce the provision of the legislation, and authorize states' attorneys general to sue for injunctive relief in federal court.

Keep in mind that this is a teaching college and you get what you pay for. The student cosmetologists who did my work, were very nice and professional. That is more than I can say for the instructors. They didn't check the work once. And when I was finished and the students had left me, I could NOT even get the instructors' attention. If the instructors are teaching that kind of customer service, they are doing a disservice to aspiring cosmetologists who deserve better.

It was a gift for my wife. My wife was very pleased with the cosmetologist . She was very pleasant and easy to talk to. They were a little slow but they are just learning . She would definitely go back.

Although this video is some months old, it only recently found its way to me. It shows Fletcher Professor Louis Aucoin pursuing his current work as the United Nations Deputy Special Representative for Liberia. Prof. Aucoin has been on leave for two semesters, but is planning to return to Fletcher at the conclusion of his UN work. The video presents a special example of how professors' (and, for that matter, students') professional and academic experiences come together.

Yesterday, Prof. Leila Fawaz shared with the community a piece she had written about Monday's presidential debate. One paragraph seemed particularly relevant to our professional school of international affairs. She wrote, "Happily for us, the United States possesses a deep reservoir of foreign experts and diplomats who have spent their life studying a region, issue, or people." She goes on to conclude that, "No matter who wins this election, my hope therefore is that the United States in 2013 draws upon its unprecedented expertise and contacts to construct a strong foreign policy of consistency and empathy. Such a policy, surely, might well win the support of ordinary people the world over, tired of the ravages of war and the brutality of bombs."
You can read more of Prof. Fawaz's comments, along with other thoughts on the election from her fellow historians, on the American Historical Association's Perspectives Online site. (Scroll down to the Election 2012 special.)
A member of the faculty recently sent around a note pointing us toward this Washington Post technology column that describes work done by a Fletcher student during his summer internship. The student (Josh Rogers) wrote his thesis under Prof. Salacuse's supervision. I thought blog readers might want to see this record of a summer internship's interesting and valuable result.

New Capstone Project options
By Jessica Daniels On September 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment · In About Fletcher, Our Faculty, Our Students
The Fletcher faculty has made some changes to what used to be the thesis requirement for all degree programs. Going forward, the requirement will be for the production of a capstone project. For some students (and their professors), this represents no change whatsoever. They arrived at Fletcher looking forward to writing a traditional academic thesis, and that's what they're going to do. For other students, this marks a welcome change. In some fields, a thesis is not the project format that best lends itself to the presentation of two year's worth of learning. Here's a little of the email Academic Dean Peter Uvin sent to students to explain the change. (Note that this was an email sent directly to students, not an official document, hence the casual language.) He starts by saying that, in fact, little (beyond the name of the project) has changed.
First, all degree programs always had to write a thesis, which was understood to be a traditional research project. Now we are changing that title a bit ("capstone project") and we are giving students more flexibility in terms of their final academic piece of work. Over the years, many students have found the research thesis a very useful and rewarding experience, and they can continue to do this with all the professors at Fletcher. But other students have felt that a thesis was not a particularly useful exercise, given what they would be doing after Fletcher. We now officially allow for a broader range of choices to accommodate those students.
Second, students used to develop their thesis topics in many different ways, and this will also continue, though we will be more explicit about the need to associate the thesis writing with a course credit. Here are the choices for how a capstone project can be developed:
◊ Students can continue to build their capstone project off a course paper;
◊ A number of professors have decided that their courses are set up in such a way that their required final product is really an excellent preparation for the capstone project. This may be because they offer a lot of methodology, or because they require a product that is very labor intensive, or because they help students develop research proposals, etc. Those classes will now be called "incubator courses." Students are not obliged to take incubator courses for their capstone projects; it is simply an option. Also: you can take these courses even if you do not want to write your capstone project through them!
◊ Students can also continue to use an independent study in order to write their capstone project.
◊ Often professors look for student assistance with research projects. The innovation here is that we encourage professors and students who work together in this way to use that work as the basis for the capstone project.
This is all new and a work in progress. It is important to have clear discussions with your capstone supervisors to understand exactly what s/he will be looking for. Some are going to be traditional and only want an academic thesis, whereas others are thrilled to be able to accept something else. Some see their courses as incubators, whereas others do not. Just talk to them. It will all work out. This is designed to make life more flexible and easier—not more stressful!
Our current second-year students will be the pioneers for the Capstone Projects, and I look forward to hearing about some innovative project formats.

A nice little note came our way recently from the University. Here's how it started:
The Office of the Vice Provost is pleased to announce the 2012 recipients of Tufts Collaborates! seed grants. This program, introduced by the Office of the Vice Provost in December 2010, is designed to spark scholarship, research and creative work resulting from cross-disciplinary faculty collaboration. The goal of this program is to establish collaborative research efforts that will likely result in competitive research proposals to federal and foundation granting agencies, and enhance interdisciplinary research across Tufts University for years to come.
Funding decisions were made through a peer review process including faculty and administrative staff and were based on several criteria, including the intellectual merits of the project, potential impact on interdisciplinary research at Tufts University, and the likelihood of the proposed project enabling the collaborators to submit a competitive grant proposal.
It's impossible not to like the idea of interdisciplinary research, given that Fletcher is just that kind of cross-disciplinary place. Many of the grant recipients were in the sciences. Here are some examples of grants, and their objectives, that are a distance from what people do at Fletcher:
Crystallization Trials on the Vacuolar ATPase (Determine the high resolution structure by X-ray crystallography of the V-ATPase complex, an ATP-dependent proton pump that plays a role in both normal physiology and human disease. )
Calpain-1 Inhibition for the Treatment of Sickle Cell Disease (Determine if pharmacological inhibition of calpain-1 by a novel membrane-permeable inhibitor, BDA-410, will reduce the calcium-induced cellular damage in sickle red blood cells. )
Interactions between Pharmaceuticals and Microbes in the Environment: Population Dynamics, Enzyme Regulation and Contaminant Degradation (Discover how pharmaceuticals and microbes influence one another in the environment using a combination of high throughput DNA sequencing and chemical analyses.)
As I mentioned last week, Tufts is a University with a broad reach.
But closer to home, I'm happy to note that Fletcher's Academic Dean, Prof. Peter Uvin, is a member of a collaborating team. The topic, the team, and the objectives are:
An Inquiry into the Historical and Ideological Roots of Development and Humanitarianism
David Ekbladh, History, Arts and Sciences
Heather Curtis, Religion, Arts and Sciences
Peter Uvin, The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
Implement an extended workshop at Tufts to bring leading figures from a range of disciplines who focus on elements critical to the history, constitution, and practice of humanitarianism and development.
Congratulations, Dean Uvin and team!
This Year's Theses

There's a lot going on in Admissions this week. Most of our admitted students need to make their enrollment decisions by tomorrow, April 20, and there has been a pretty steady stream of last-minute questions. (How do I put together my dual degree?…Can you send me my GAMS password?…What's your suggestion for housing?…) By Monday, we'll know what about 80% of the entering class will look like. (I'm making that number up — but I think it's about right.)
Meanwhile, continuing students are submitting their applications for scholarship renewal. They also have many last-minute questions. The forms are due this afternoon, so I know the office will be hoppin' at about 4:00.
Which leaves me depending on others to create interesting blog content for me. And combing through my inbox, I found something. Students have compiled a list of thesis topics, along with faculty advisor, keywords, and the students' Fields of Study. The list contains only a portion of the theses that will be submitted this spring, but I think it provides a nice snapshot of the broad range of topics and formats.
Here's a sample of the list:

We in Admissions like a good smackdown, so I jumped on the notice that the community was invited to participate in a feud that would also benefit research. Here's the invitation:
Is it even hard to give up cash? To give up cards? Let's find out.
Give up half your payments. Blog about it. Win $100 or dinner with Kim Wilson.
This month, Kim Wilson is running a social experiment. For one week (March 30-April 6), students will give up either cash or cards.
Actually it's slightly tougher than that: the cashless group cannot use money orders or checks, and the cardless group cannot use any electronic, mobile or web payments. Prizes include a drawing for a $100 prepaid card and dinner for you and three friends with Kim and two of hers. It's not quite a randomized controlled trial, but we might learn something along the way. Please sign up and invite your friends to join. Students of Kim Wilson, Jenny Aker, John Hammock, and Karen Jacobsen are particularly encouraged to participate.
Second year MALD student, Betsy, is working as a research assistant on the project. While participants were still signing up, Betsy told me, "So far there seems to be some fear among students about ending up in the cardless group. One person even dropped out after learning that he couldn't choose his group. I'm finding it interesting that nobody seems to think it would be a big deal to go without cash!"
But there was also worry about going cashless, particularly in the form of "What about paying my rent?" Prof. Wilson weighed in, "If you make a mistake during the contest, you are still eligible for the drawing, but you must own up to your transgression! Hint: Pay your rent ahead of time."
Betsy also provided some context: "This is part of the larger Cost of Cash study. It obviously isn't a formal experiment but we think it will yield some interesting insight about the costs (especially time/inconvenience costs) of different forms of payment. I also think it could prompt people to rely more heavily on their social networks, like bartering or asking someone to order them something online with a credit card in exchange for cash. We'll see!"
Ben Mazzotta, the postdoctoral research fellow for inclusive growth at the Center for Emerging Market Enterprises (CEME), wrote up the contest rules, and he told me about other Fletcher work in this area. "Previously CEME held a conference titled Killing Cash, sponsored a talk from MasterCard CEO Ajay Banga titled "The Road to the Cashless Society," and organized a conference in Kenya on the viral growth of M-PESA and efforts to replicate it worldwide."
We're midway through the Smackdown week. Check the Cost of Cash blog often and learn what it's like to live without cash or credit in the U.S. today.
HoF Time
By Jessica Daniels On February 8, 2012 · 5 Comments · In General Admissions News, Our Faculty, Our Students
The Hall of Flags is Fletcher's town square. Everyone passes through here at some point in the day. Yesterday, to capture a little of the atmosphere, Jeff (my partner in on-location blogging) and I parked ourselves at a table (which we reserved, as if this were a restaurant), equipped with my laptop and a basic camera, and waited to see who came by. We made a slight miscalculation, having chosen a time when traffic was light, but the upside was that we had a chance to chat with everyone who visited the table.
When we set up camp, two students, Vanessa and Jon, were already in place at their own (better decorated) table. They're raising funds for their participation in the Tufts Marathon Challenge. Jon is from New Orleans, so (in keeping with the season), they put out some plastic babies and called it King Cake. The cake, fortunately, looked better than the handwritten sign.
After chatting with Vanessa and Jon, we looked to see who else was around. Jamie, one of our volunteer interviewers from last fall, greets blog readers from the balcony.
Mollie (also an Admissions volunteer), Adam, and Khanh from Fletcher Students in Security were planning a reception that will take place during the DC Career Trip in a few weeks.
Bilal stopped by on his way to this week's event in the "Denial and Deception" lunch/lecture series (organized by the Security Studies program), on practices and best practices throughout the intelligence community. He insisted that I should be in the photo.
Nick walked through while doing his work. We always enjoy chatting with him when he helps us out by keeping the office in order. He has also brought new life to one of the Admissions Office plants.
Shinhee (yet another Admissions volunteer) stopped by on her way from Prof. Babbitt's office to an accounting class. Jeff told Shinhee (a musician) she should have brought her violin so that she could play for us. Next time!
My Fletcher Futbol friend Sebastian picked up a piece of cake. He was on his way to meet up with a student who had worked at an NGO he's interested in.
Summer is also on her way to the "Denial and Deception" lunch/lecture. She's looking spiffy for the special event.
Dan, Fletcher's IT guru, was talking IT with Kevin, the face of the Hall. (Kevin would have been able to tell us when the HoF is at its busiest. Mental note to check in with him before we plan another on-location blog.)
Matt, also on the way to the lunch/lecture, stopped by. (Gonna be a busy luncheon!) Matt's a PhD candidate who's working in Oslo for the Norwegian Institute of International Affairs as a visiting research fellow. He's on campus now to put the finishing touches on his formal dissertation proposal about organized crime and state security in West Africa (while working remotely for the Institute). Matt moved on to the PhD program from the MALD (like most of our PhD students). He has clocked many hours in the HoF, generally toting a coffee mug.
Morgan is on his way to accounting class, carrying the lunch that was lovingly prepared by his wife (complete with special notes). The word is that Morgan has the BEST lunches (and sometimes dinners) in that little cooler. Jeff and I are totally jealous!
Vanessa and Jon packed up their table. Why? The "Denial and Deception" lunch/lecture, of course. Vanessa says she can't be late. The lecture runs on military time.
Tomo came out of his microfinance class where there were two guests from Spain. He's off to have lunch with them.
Geoffrey was here to kick off the marketing of the Tufts Energy Conference — mailing cards to speakers from past years. The conference is coming up in April.
Vickie, Carolyn, Rachael, Naomi, Winnie, and Shuvam met up at the elevator. (They're all in the photo, but not necessarily easy to find.)
Lily just came out of her class, and is chatting with Emily while waiting for others. She's going to join Tomo for lunch with the microfinanciers from Spain.
Food for the "Denial and Deception" lunch! (Delivered with a smile by Dan from Dave's Fresh Pasta, a Davis Square eatery that is a favorite source of food around here.)
Brand new Januarian Alessandra and soon-to-graduate second-year Charlie, were also coming from the microfinance class. This time I think to ask which class it is. The answer: Microfinance and Inclusive Commerce with Prof. Kim Wilson. Then, along comes Prof. Wilson. Jeff convinces her to join the photo. (Love Prof. Wilson's red shoes!)
Kristen avoids the paparazzi on her way to the Tufts Educational Day Care Center for an appointment. (Fingers crossed that there will be space for little Lucia in the day care in September!) More relevant to Fletcher, Kristen was coming out of a discussion of the launch of a new initiative to offer conference calls with recent alums, during which current students can ask about job search tactics in particular industries or locations. The first conference call will be with a 2011 MIB alum and former Admissions intern, who will describe the process that landed him with a job in Brazil.
Once we let Kristen go, we noticed a crowd of people waiting for the elevator. More people from the microfinance class, including the Spanish visitors. They were very gracious in allowing Jeff to snap a couple of photos, and we learned they're from ACAF in Barcelona.
Hanging out in the Hall of Flags was a fun way to connect with people we don't see as often as we'd like, not to mention a real treat during this busy time of year for Admissions. After our allotted 45 minutes, Jeff and I packed up and went back to the office. We're going to do this again, though. Next time, we'll try for live blogging. Stay tuned!

Dean Uvin invited feedback on his Top 10 of 2011 list, and students didn't hold back. I've snatched as many comments off the Social List as I could reasonably fit in the blog but, fortunately, a plugged-in student, Michael, solved my space problem by creating a scholarly archive of the suggestions for this year and 2010, saying:
For your studying convenience, I've compiled the albums and songs recommended by Dean Uvin and fellow students into a single public Spotify playlist: Fletcher Music 2011: The Groovin' Uvin Project (http://open.spotify.com/user/grahamagp/playlist/29o96Vbw2BQLb3vFBPwyuj). Last year's recommendations are in a second playlist, Fletcher Music 2010: Before the 'Stache (http://open.spotify.com/user/grahamagp/playlist/29o96Vbw2BQLb3vFBPwyuj).
Blog readers, please check out the Spotify lists for the two scholarly works. (I included the url as I've had inconsistent success in opening the lists from a link. Plug the address into the Spotify search box.) But, because you might want to know what comments accompanied the choices, I've compiled a few. Here (with my apologies if I missed typos in unfamiliar album titles) are the students' contributions to the listening pleasure of the community, with a little marker (~~~~~~) to indicate a change from one student to the next.
This was my favorite thread last year and my favorite again (albeit I still think too early — there's a whole month left). With that said…Here are my top 10:
1. Girls — Father, Son, Holy Ghost
2. Youth Lagoon — The Year of Hibernation
3. The Weekend — House of Balloons/Thursday
4. James Blake — James Blake
5. St. Vincent — Strange Mercy
6. Drake — Take Care
7. Tune-Yards — WHOKILL
8. Los Campesinos — Hello Sadness
9. M83 — Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
10. The Antlers — Burst Apart
If I were to include reissues: The Rolling Stones — Some Girls reissue is awesome, but the Beach Boys — Smile Sessions is mind blowingly awesome. The outtakes for "Heroes and Villains" are amazing on their own.
Raphael Saadiq — Stone Rollin'. For those vintage soul fans:
M83 — Hurry Up, We're Dreaming. Sweet electropop with great melodies.
Jay-Z and Kanye West — Watch the Throne. The best of the two best in hip hop.
Kurt Vile — Smoke Ring For My Halo. Guitar driven rawk a la Burce Springsteen or Jeff Buckley (but more clever).
Fleet Foxes — Helplessness Blues. Gorgeous, accoustic-inspired indie rock and complex harmonies.
Lykke Li — Wounded Rhymes. Ephemeral Swedish pop that was the soundtrack to my summer.
Assuming the role of Debbie Downer, I have to say I found it to be a really disappointing year musically. More and more bands sound the same and like too many other bands that came before them — like rock/pop music's death by entropy. In some cases, it can work really well (such as M83 shamelessly channeling the 80s) but in most cases it just sounds boring and samey. Which leads to my thesis: "Has rock/pop music exhausted itself as a genre and done everything it can do?" I'm pretty sure I could get Dean Uvin to sign on as a thesis adviser.
Holy Ghost! — Holy Ghost! For those of you into the indie dance genre… Fun, smart, hip disco groove full-length album from two New York guys on DFA (the label of LCD Soundsystem, Hercules and Love Affair, Hot Chip…).
Brigitte — Et vous, tu m'aimes? The album is a standout — ranging from pop ditty to cover of a rap song to country inspired to a finale of a gospel song turned upside down called "Jesus sex symbol." Listening will help you with your language exam!
Feist — Metals. Music on this album hovers around the intersection of indie and alt country, a good place for her, and one which she inhabits beautifully. It is such a mature album; I love it.
The Weekend — House of Balloons. Dark and brooding genre-bending debut from a 20-year old Toronto kid. Blew up after a tweet from Drake. Download for free on his website and become one with your morose self.
Tune-Yards — W H O K I L L. Lo-fi eclectic sonic collage. Merrill Garbus rocks and did this whole album on her own. This will give you an idea.
I would be oh so sad if Florence and The Machine's new album Ceremonials wasn't in the running. That girl has some piiiiiiiipes. It's the perfect mix of gut wrenching, rock it out, go-out-there-and-win-this-thing inspiration. AND Beriut's The Rip Tide album. Love the vibrato of his voice and the horn harmonies are fantastic.
Dean Uvin. Once again making sure we learn the important things.

By the time I sat down to breakfast yesterday, I had already heard Fletcher Dean Stephen Bosworth speak at length on the radio about the death of Kim Jong Il. His first morning interview was followed by an hour on our local NPR station, interviews with The Boston Globe, The Financial Times, Bloomberg News, other NPR shows, our local CBS affiliate, as well as the Tufts web site. Content from those interviews turned up in blogs and foreign media. Dean Bosworth recently stepped down as U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy and previously served as ambassador to the Republic of Korea. With no official government role at this time, he is freer to offer his opinions on events on the Korean Peninsula.

So as the tittle says, I was at work today (cell ph tech) and was working on a customers account, when the conversation turned about guns, ammo and how I was having trouble finding .22lr ammo for my son and I to go shooting. Cust stated that he some .22lr and was willing to sell me the ammo for what he paid for it, and would be willing to meet me at my work if need be to sell me the ammo. I am most grateful for the offer, and let him know about our great forum, and encouraged him to consider joining. Thought that this would be a nice story to share with others, as I have never met this person before today, and that he was willing to share .22 ammo at his cost so I take my son shooting. And for the record, since he had so many problems with his ph, and was nice and polite to me, I got him a new ph for free. And cust (cant give his name out) if you are reading this, you absolutely made my week, and I wish you and your family nothing but the best, God bless! Respectfully, Stag 556

I have sold 22lr to two of my buddies in the past few months because I work third shift and can get to cabelas at 8am when they open. I know they would do the same for me if I needed something. Hopfully he does join.

The wife and I are thinking of a Caribbean cruise and wonder what options we will have while traveling. It will be on Princess Cruises. I am pretty sure that there will be metal detectors and a gun is out of the picture, but I don't know about knives or OC.
I was thinking about getting or making a cane for the trip.

I have the following shell script with finds all the files and then should insert the filenames in to the database. The only problem I have is that I keep getting the error:
./testDBScript.sh: line 16: syntax error: unexpected end of file
I am trying to insert in to a mysql database from my script using the following code in a loop like:
for filename in `find . \! -name [*./]`
echo "$filename"
insert_statement_for_db="insert into files(filename) VALUES(\"$filename\");"
mysql -h $db_host -u $db_user -D $db_database << finish
How else could I insert in to the database? As tutorials online lead me to that solution.

text: All state sanctioned couplings should be civil unions. Those people who want to get married can deal with the specific requirements and prohibitions of their particular religion. But religion has no business dictating who can do what regarding civil unions; that should be the sole business of the state. The problem is that the clear line between church and state is always being blurred and transgressed. That causes problems, whether Muslim inspired Sharia law or Christian inspired Bible based law. Both are problematic, intrusive, and abusive to non believers.

Posted: Wed., Jan. 6, 2010, 1:33pm PT 'Mother' keeps score Strong music backgrounds boost 'HIMYM' creative team By JON BURLINGAME One of the elements that distinguishes "How I Met Your Mother" from other sitcoms is its surprising and often clever use of music — in part because series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas, along with editor Susan Federman, are all musicians. Bays and Thomas co-wrote and perform the series theme, produced by score composer John Swihart. Swihart — best known for his music for the indie hit "Napoleon Dynamite" — has scored every episode of "HIMYM." Editor Federman is an ex-violinist whose sense of rhythm and timing is apparent in the show. "Music is very important to Carter and Craig," Swihart says. "They enjoy music, and they understand it." Swihart's indie-rock-style score ("an easy, emocore type of rock vibe," he explains) is written and performed entirely in his Laurel Canyon studio, often just the composer on acoustic guitar and upright piano (adding in drums, bass and other instruments as necessary). He creates the average seven or eight minutes of music per episode in a single day each week. "It's a pretty emotional show," says Swihart (who also scores CBS' "Accidentally on Purpose," ABC Family's "Greek" and Fox's upcoming "Sons of Tucson"). "A lot of times music sets the mood, and, if not, then you're playing the joke. It depends on the writing: It's really more about the story, and that's why there's more music (than in the average sitcom)."

text: In the first issue of the 4-part "Arabian Nights (and Days)," wayward foreigners have started showing up in Fabletown — much to the dismay of the longtime residents. These new Fables are not European and are in danger of throwing the comfortably Eurocentric Fabletown into chaos. Once more, Prince Charming is in over his head and must call on the help of a Fable character not seen in these pages for far too long.
