Women's Lacrosse Enters Nation's Top-10; Gamble Named CC Player of the Week
March 23, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – After four weeks of just missing out of being in the top-10 of the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) poll, Pfeiffer University's women's lacrosse team comes in to week five and today's 4:00 p.m. match against Southern New Hampshire ranked #10 in the country. In addition to the top-10 ranking, freshman attacker Allie Gamble (Easton, MD) has been named Conference Carolinas player of the week.
Despite a 1-1 week with a win against Franklin Pierce and 17-16 loss to Rollins, the Lady Falcons jumped in the latest poll with a 7-2 record on the season. Also in the poll is conference rival Limestone standing #4 while Sunday's opponent, C.W. Post is third. Pfeiffer and C.W. Post will play a neutral site contest in Severna Park, MD.
Gamble earns player of the week honors for the first time in her short college career helping Pfeiffer to that 1-1 week with nine total goals firing 11 of her 12 total shots on net. Playing a pair of matches in Florida, Gamble threw in two goals against Franklin Pierce adding a groundball, caused turnover and draw control. Both of her shots taken were on net.
Against host Rollins, Gamble single-handedly kept the Lady Falcons in it with a career-high seven goals on 9-of-10 shots on goal adding another draw control. Gamble added two free position goals, in two attempts. For the season, Gamble leads the squad with 27 goals with 38 of her 44 total shots on cage (.864), also a team-high.

The factory claims that their shotguns undergo extreme testing and are made to exact tolerances, something that I have no doubt is correct. The first production shotguns, released by Breda after the Second World War, were of the long recoil auto type. I have heard that these were very well made and brilliantly designed; being simpler than the Auto 5 and sturdier than the 48AL.

Warren Buffett this morning rightly scolds the whiny. Complaints about the possibility of higher taxes next year border on idiotic. The savviest investors will put money to work.
Buffett asks you to imagine a scenario: A smart investor presents an idea. Perhaps it's Buffett himself suggesting you also buy JPMorgan Chase or Party City or whatever. Will you really demur—and pass up such an opportunity because of those increased levies? Only the foolish would.
"Let's forget about the rich and ultrarich going on strike and stuffing their ample funds under their mattresses if — gasp — capital gains rates and ordinary income rates are increased," Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, writes in a New York Times op-ed. "The ultrarich, including me, will forever pursue investment opportunities"
For argument's sake, assume you ignore Buffett. (Shame on you!) You'll go where? To the benchmark 10-year Treasury? Yield there has barely crept above the historic lows recorded earlier this year. Junk bonds? Those yields also sit at mind-thumping lows. No, perhaps you'll pour it into a certificate of deposit. Enjoy your 1% interest. That won't even beat inflation.
It's paid to follow Buffett's lead. Or to put your money directly with him: Shares of Berkshire Hathaway are up more than 80% in the past decade. The S&P 500, meanwhile, has gained 50%. Take the cue again.
Brace yourself, too. Higher taxes seem almost a certainty. The United States needs additional revenue to make its debt more manageable. Some sort of compromise between Democrats and Republicans will require some tax hikes. Right now, barring any Congressional action, the Bush Tax Cuts will expire in January. This will send tax on bond interest to 44.6% from 35%; on capital gains to 25% from 15% and on dividends to 44.6% from 15%. While these figures may change somewhat, as the two sides reach a deal, it's hard to imagine that they'll stay unchanged.
Indeed, the key to solving the fiscal cliff is the sacrifice of sacred cows. For Republicans, that means higher taxes. For Democrats, that means government-spending cuts. The loudest bleating will come from the parties' periphery. Here, as Buffet notes, stands Grover Norquist, champion of a fond (and very far-fetched) dream.
Moreover, to help complete FORBES' latest Investment Guide, I polled some of the best money managers on their outlook (and stock picks) next year. To a man, no one advised going to cash because of higher taxes. A few urged caution, but that stems from a cautious take on this aging bull market.
How much do the tax increases worry Tony Gleason, manager of the Neuberger Berman Equity Income Fund? "A little bit. It's hard to claim that taxes going up are going to be a positive." True, no one likes higher taxes. Alternatives appear bleak, though. "Zero interest rates mean that dividends are really the only source of income in the investment environment right now. We're definitely focused on dividends, and the ability to grow dividends. It's an environment of little income." He holds positions in stocks with juicy payouts, like Johnson & Johnson (a 3.51% yield), Philip Morris (a 3.76% yield) and Cisco Systems (a 2.97% yield). Each security there pays nearly double the benchmark T-bill.
Don Yacktman, one of the best investors since 2008, who runs two eponymous funds, echoes this sentiment. "PepsiCo and Procter & Gamble are like AAA bonds, and the world is not rewarding you enough to go to actual AA or A bonds," he says. Pepsi delivers a 3.1% yield, and P&G shells out 3.2%. Yacktman actively searches for companies that put to cash to use: "Buying back stock. Paying a dividend. That's more effective than just sitting on it." What's best for corporations, here, will probably prove prudent for investors, too.
There's a wide company of bright minds who agree with Buffett: Pity the whiny. Then, start looking for the next opportunity.

Women's Tennis Blanks Catawba in First Home Outing
October 3, 2013
by Paul Horner
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - In a match that had been postponed from September 25th due to inclement weather, the Pfeiffer University women's tennis team (1-0) handed the Catawba Indians (2-1) their first loss of a young season. The Lady Falcons bested Catawba in all six of their singles matches, and put up even more convincing numbers in doubles play.
Behind solid performances from two-thirds of their roster, the Lady Falcons outscored Catawba 72-20 in total singles competition. Pfeiffer was even more spectacular in doubles play, where the Lady Falcons outscored Catawba 24-8 in total sets. Freshman Olivia Nelms started off the day with a shutout of Catawba's Liz Renteria, taking their first set 6-0. Nelms would set the tone for Pfeiffer's uneblievable day, finishing off her opponent 6-1 in the second set.
The Lady Falcons would continue to give the Indians problems when the duo of junior Taylor Lindsay and sophomore Valeria Mendoza delivered a monster blow to Catawba's pair of Sloan Kessler and Liz Renteria with an 8-3 decision.
The Lady Falcons return to the court this weekend when they travel to Fayetteville to compete in the Methodist Invite.

Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Rising Among U.S. Youth
June 14, 2012 (Philadelphia) -- Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are rising among U.S. kids and teens, according to the first national snapshot of diabetes rates among American youths.
The new report, presented this weekend in Philadelphia at the American Diabetes Association's annual meeting, shows a 23% rise in rates of type 1 diabetes and a 21% rise in type 2 diabetes rates from 2001 to 2009.
Both trends are sounding alarm bells for researchers.
The rise in type 1 diabetes is "alarming," says researcher Elizabeth Mayer-Davis, PhD, MSPH, RD, of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Even so, it was not a complete surprise, as a similar increase has been reported among European youth, Mayer-Davis says.
Diabetes has serious long-term health risks. It makes heart disease, kidney problems, nerve damage, and many other conditions more likely.
"This is frightening," says Robert E. Ratner, MD, chief scientific and medical officer of the American Diabetes Association.
"These are harbingers of adult health problems," he tells WebMD. If the trend is not reversed, there could be an epidemic of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure when this generation is age 25-35, Ratner says.
Why the Rise?
It's not clear why type 1 diabetes is becoming more common. One theory holds that today's infants are exposed to fewer viruses and bacteria that help the immune system mature, says researcher Dana Dabelea, MD, PhD, of the University of Colorado in Denver.
Some studies also suggest a possible link between very early exposure to cow's milk and certain foods to a higher risk of type 1 diabetes. "Studies are exploring whether later introduction of some foods to the infant's diet may be protective," Dabelea tells WebMD. "But we really don't know the cause."
The rise in type 2 diabetes, though dramatic, was less surprising. That's because obesity is a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes, and about 1 in 3 U.S. kids is overweight or obese. More than 90% of kids with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese, the new study shows.
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

As summer heats up, it's tempting to bring your pet with you on car rides around town. Sadly, many people believe that cracking a window is enough to keep their dogs cool in the car while they make a quick pit stop—but they couldn't be more wrong. When it's 80 degrees outside, your car will be a staggering 114 degrees in less than 30 minutes.
Worse still, dog can't cool themselves down as easily as people, and once they overheat, they can suffer extensive organ damage or die. That's why leaving an animal alone in a car is more than just a bad idea, it's a form of animal cruelty. And since the ASPCA can't be everywhere at all times, we need YOU to be our eyes and ears on the ground.
To help save animals from dying in hot cars, take the following actions:
- Immediately call animal control or 911 if you see an animal trapped in a hot car. Local law officials have the ability to enter the vehicle and rescue the pet.
- Do not leave until help has arrived.
- Notify the managers of nearby businesses so they can make an urgent announcement.
- Sign our Hot Car Pledge to help save lives this summer and all year long.
We are working hard to spread awareness about the dangers of hot cars, but all too often, the difference between life and death comes down to the actions of individuals like you. We hope you will join our cause by keeping an eye out for dogs in distress, and by making a donation today. Together, we can prevent more tragedies and make this summer our safest season yet.
Some tend to forget that animals feel pain and discomfort just as humans do. They just can't verbally express it as we do. They are also much too forgiving. I believe the "do unto others" quote should apply to animals too. Remember you pet has a fur coat on all year round so when you sit in your car with the windows up to see what it feels like, put a fur coat on (fake fur please) to even up the odds.
I agree with everyone who made a comment, from animals having feelings of pain, discomfort, heat, hunger and so on. I dearly love & respect every animal that God has created. It never ceases to amaze me on a daily basis of the mindless, heartless morons that abuse, abandon, starve and torture these precious souls. All we can do is be their voice, rescue, adopt, report and donate to the great rescue groups who work so hard to make the world better for animals. I can't stomach what goes on, and we can only hope that one day it will no longer exist because the fines and penalties will deter all the horrible things that the human race has done. You know...all they want is love and they are the MOST precious beings ever. If only we could all live, love, trust & forgive as they do. Think about it, they are at our very mercy. They do NOT have choices, and they certainly did not ask to be born, nor did they ask for such horrible treatment.
What a very heartfelt statement. I couldn't have said it better. I am proud to be a member of such a great organization. You were very eloquent. I wish everyone shared your kind heart. Well done Sharon.
Well said -thank you for pitting it into words!!
Well said Sharon! All animals are precious and we have to be their voice. I also love and respect every animal created by God. They deserve all our love because they give us so much in return. I am proud to be a member of the ASPCA and I commend them for the support and care they provide for all our best friends.
You summed it up beautifully. Mercy and empathy are so lacking in today's modern world. We need millions of caring people to fight this worthy cause.
Every word written here is well put and absolutely correct. But until the fines and penalties are so huge it really does financial damage to the abuser it will not stop. What will be a huge step in stopping these monsters is a National Database and Registry for ANIMAL Abusers! We are way past needing this. Do whatever you can in your area to work to make this happen. If enough of us agree, we can do it!
Helen, I agree. As animals lovers, all have kind words but until we use that energy to fight for better/ stronger laws, etc., unfortunally, these subjects [abuse, neglect...]are all too common. People who are not as sensitive to animals, seem to PAY more attention when the law can go into their pocket. Come on law makers; hear our voices!

Examples of VERBOSE
- He is a verbose speaker.

- Something seems to have gone seriously wrong with the subediting and proof-reading of this self-indulgently verbose and misprint-ridden production, which is further flawed by a mis-match between the author's vaulting theoretical ambitions and his scholarly limitations, notably his faulty grasp of ancient Greek and inability to deliver a clear and consistent line of reasoned and logical argument. —Paul Cartledge, Times Literary Supplement, 8 Mar. 1991
- What makes this tiny tome so much fun are the answers. There are occasional one-word zingers: to a verbose question as to whether a resident of a planet with two suns would have two shadows, Merlin's response is "Yes." The longest answers are about a page in length and seem to be triggered when a questioner happens upon one of the author's favorite topics or pet peeves, such as relativity, tachyons, and the endangered ozone layer. —James H. Sharp, Air & Space Smithsonian, February/March 1990
- I must confess … that if I had known how many classics there are in English literature, and how verbose the best of them contrive to be, I should never have undertaken the work. They only allow one seventy thousand words, you see. —Virginia Woolf, The Voyage Out, 1915

For a pretty Backyardigans mobile, suspend spring-fresh flowers, butterflies, and more (they're printable!) from a tree branch that kids find in the yard.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Print out Backyardigans Spring Mobile Ornaments. Start cutting out the shapes. This is a great step for your child to do while you get started on the other steps below.
To make a ring out of twine for the top, wrap your full length of twine around an oatmeal drum (or similarly sized container) over and over until it's done. Tie small knots around the twine to keep the ring together. You can also make your mobile top out of a found stick, paper towel tub, or embroidery hoop. If using a tube, and you have extra time, have your child paint it first to give it extra flair.
Cut four or six strands of twine, ribbon, or string at various lengths. Tie each hanging strand to the top of the mobile. Optional: To make a mobile that's exactly as shown, leave out about 12 inches on each strand from its top before tying them to the mobile top. Then pull the top ends of all strands together, twist them together like a rope, and tie them together in a knot. Attach the double-sided paper shapes to the strings at various intervals with glue stick. Attach bells at the bottom of the strands, if desired.
Depending on the type of mobile top you used, attach a loop of ribbon to it and hang anywhere inside your home, or in your backyard.

The city of New Albany is looking for a few good people with an interest in preservation efforts in the downtown area.
The Board of Alderman is trying to resurrect the Certified Local Government program that the city adopted in 2007 but never got off the ground.
In fact, through the fault of no one in particular as far as we can tell, the committee named to supervise the program never met.
According to Mayor Tim Kent two of the five previous members resigned and none of the members took the initiative to move forward. That's why Alderman-at-large Scott Dunnam proposed starting over with a new committee.
It's important to have a Certified Local Government program, which is funded through the Historic Preservation Division of the state Department of Archives and History.
Through the state, aid is available to people who would like to restore their property back to its original appearance. And there are annual grants available to help with historic preservation projects.
The city will be seeking applicants during the next couple of weeks to serve on the committee.
Members must own property or a business in the city and they serve a three-year term.
Last time around, the alderman named one person from each aldermanic district. We would rather see the board get a list of folks who are truly interested in preservation and select from that list.
Getting a good group committed to working hard to obtain state money for preservation and improving downtown is the important thing. The district a person lives in should not be a factor in the selection.
Some communities have made a significant impact on their downtowns through this program. We need to catch up.

Tour a 140-year-old cottage
See an amazing cottage that was built in the late 1800s.
Here's a tour of an amazing cottage that was originally featured in our April 2011 issue. Fairview Island is a large, private island on Lake Rosseau and is home to the Allan family cottage. Built in the late 1800s, this grand getaway shows many of the hallmarks of Victorian-era cottage architecture: Soaring wide staircases, wraparound porches with intricate railings, large rooms with vaulted ceilings. The family has been there since the 1960s, and have taken great care to maintain the original features of the building. Cheers to them for it; every cottager knows how hard it is to maintain even a modest retreat. Maintaining this mansion takes a whole new level of effort. It's a passion for the Allans, who now number three generations at the lake during the summer.
Front porch
The main cottage features a porch that wraps around the entire building, offering several spots where the family can enjoy the day's best light.

Do you believe that the length of a river or the height of a mountain can be known?
I think so (I don't believe) since we know the length (distance) from earth to mars, we have the mind and technology to measure a river or mountain. Not a problem.
What is the exact distance from Earth to Mars right now?
What part of the Earth and what part of Mars are you measuring from?
Neither are completely round and their distance from each other varies from moment to moment.
There is no actual point in time in which an accurate measurement can be taken.
Mountains are measured based on ocean level but the ocean level is constantly changing as is the heigth of the mountain itself.
Does the length of a river stop as soon as it contacts the ocean?
Where exactly does a river actually begin?
Nothing can be measured accurately….....even the items that are used to do the measuring.
There is no such thing as an accurate yardstick.

Steve was a thirty two year old male who had opened a cruiser bikes store early last year. Steve had not been seeing very much business, which was surprising because everyone seemed to love the idea of owning a cruiser bike but no one was willing to make the final purchase. Steve thought it may be because the prices of the beach cruiser bikes he was selling were much higher than people were willing to pay, which is when Steve began to hand out discounts of twenty percent of the purchase of cruiser bikes from his store. This initiative brought on by Steve did seem to make some new customers come in who were happy about purchasing cruiser bikes, however, Steve still was not getting enough sales.
One day, Steve was working in his cruiser bikes shop when a customer approached him and asked Steve why his prices were this high for cruiser bikes. Steve was confused and told the customer about the cruiser bikes discount of twenty percent he had been giving people. The customer was aware of the discount and told Steve about the cruiser bikes store less than on block away which were selling similar bikes for half of what Steve was pricing his cruiser bikes at. Steve had no idea he was competing with another cruiser bikes store and he instantly lowered his prices in order to compete with the neighboring cruiser bikes store. Everyone seemed to love the cruiser bikes Steve was selling because the bikes were very trendy. Find out more by going to http://www.firmstrong.com/.
When Steve lowered his prices, he saw a flock of customers who came into his store who were interested in purchasing the cruiser bikes for the sale price Steve had listed in his shop. The customer began to tell Steve how much they loved riding cruiser bikes and how they loved to decorate the cruiser bikes to make them standout to other people riding cruiser bikes. The cruiser bikes Steve was selling were of the highest quality because Steve believed in not selling any other type of cruiser bikes other than the ones which people enjoyed riding the most and got the most joy out of riding. Steve preferred the cruiser bikes to any other sort of bike because he saw cruiser bikes as something which the whole family was able to participate in not just people who were good at bike riding.

Cat Oral Melanoma
Cat Oral Melanoma
It would be stating the obvious that cats are different from humans in many ways. However, there are things that they have in common with humans, such as being a mammal as well. However, something else that cats have in common with humans is that they too have the ability to develop cancer. As humans are aware, cancer is a disease that slowly eats away at the healthy cells in the body. Very briefly, if not treated, cancer will certainly end in death. Even if the cancer is treated, the prognosis of the patient will vary. This is all the same with cats. Their life spans are relatively brief compared to humans as it is. To add to this, cats don't have the gift of advanced speech that humans do. Therefore, it's up to cat owners to be very aware that their cat can be suffering with Cat Cancer, and know what to do about it.
Oral Melanoma
One cancer that a cat can develop in particular is called Oral Melanoma. Oral Melanoma is a type of cancer that affects the mouth, the throat, and the connecting tissues of the mouth of a cat.
Signs and Symptoms
A cat owner needs to be aware of various physical, and behavioral signs that their cat might have developed with this type of cancer. Physical signs might be a lump in the mouth. There might be changes in the gums, and on the tooth line. Along with this, your cat will display changes in his or her usual behavior. Because they have a mass in their mouth, they might want to lick at it. They might have Cat Drooling more than what is normal for them. Increased drooling is usually the first sign of sickness in cats. Furthermore, they might display their version of moaning in pain by meowing more often. The noises that come out of them might sound unusual. The cat may also experience Cat Loss of Appetite and might stop eating, and develop strange patterns of elimination. A cat owner might want to notice whether or not their cat has Cat Loss of Weight in spite of being offered food. They also need to check if their cat is eliminating themselves in a way that seems out of control, despite having have been trained in this area. In short, any changes in what the owner has come to know as healthy behavior needs to be noted and a veterinarian needs to be consulted right away.
A vet can diagnose oral melanoma like they would any other type of cancer. They would take a biopsy of the lump and do some blood work. However, keep in mind that, just like in the case of humans, not all lumps are malignant. But one should never take a chance that a lump isn't serious. Let the vet determine that for you. If your vet determines that your cat indeed has oral melanoma cancer, the course of treatment would be the same as with humans. Your cat will receive treatment in the form of chemotherapy and radiation. How much treatment your cat would receive will depend on the size of the lump, and how far advanced the cancer is. The more advanced the cancer is, the more aggressive the treatment is going to be.
Humans have a hard time with cancer treatment, and certainly your cat will as well. However, it is very important that keep your cat as comfortable as possible during these treatments. Since they most probably will not want to eat, you should discuss a nourishment plan with your vet. With oral melanoma, the cat will experience pain, so the vet will prescribe the typical pain medications. This will all be hard on the cat, as well as the cat owner. However, if the cat doesn't receive treatment, they can only be expected to live at the most for a couple of months. Those last couple of months will be filled with intense suffering for them. A cat owner has to decide if it's worth it to put their cat through cancer treatment. Although it's harsh, it could very well save their cat's life.
Oral Melanoma is a sad diagnosis for any cat, and their human family too. However, if caught in time, the prognosis is fair. It's very important to be on the lookout as a pet owner for symptoms, and to remember that your cat relies on you to be both a loving, and aware pet parent.

22 Best Toners and Astringents
Toners sometimes get a bad rap. But if you've got dry or oily skin, using one can transform your complexion. Here's how to find the right toner for your skin type
Why it's great: TotalBeauty.com reviewers describe this toner as "a good middle-of-the-day refresher." One reviewer who has "difficult-to-manage skin" says, "this is the best toner" because it "soothes" her "surface dryness, acne, and flakiness." Another reader with sensitive, oily skin says this toner is "perfect" for her skin. While reviewers note that it's a little pricier than most toners, they say it "lasts forever" and is "well worth keeping skin in balance."

Where are cliniques toners? Been using them religiously for years
by Kbhaber Wednesday, March 6, 2013 at 07:51AM Report as inappropriate
I have very sensitive and oily skin. I normally do not use heavy creams, but since moisturization is really important, and after a recommendation I saw on youtube, I decided to give the Shielo Complexion Moisturizer a go. I am SO GLAD I did. The Shielo Complexion Moisturizer This does not cause me to break out, and it moisturizes well (although my skin is a bit shinier than usual in the morning now :). I love that there is a large amount in the jar. I think this will be my "official" moisturizer from now on!

I\'ve been using Olay\'s skin toner gentle years now, and I love it! It doesn\'t have that strong medicine-y smell of many other toners, and it\'s gentle enough to use twice a day. Definitely the best bang for your beauty buck!

Dean's Welcome
Welcome to the Ithaca College School of Business, a place where you will connect to your future through award-winning student organizations, engaged alumni, and a faculty passionate about teaching.
Our dedicated faculty members are role models in and beyond the classroom. In addition, our student organizations provide the leadership and professional development opportunities you'll need for future success. Many of these student groups organize and host on-campus activities such as the annual Beta Alpha Psi dinner that honors our accounting students and provides an opportunity for students, faculty, alumni, and professionals to network. Our students also shine in national and regional spotlights. Our American Marketing Association has received Outstanding Collegiate Chapter Awards at the Annual American Marketing Association International Collegiate Conference.
Your business coursework begins in your first year. The immersion continues throughout your four years at Ithaca, with advanced business classes as early as your sophomore year. We believe in educating students not only for business but for life. Half of your courses will be selected from the College's extensive offerings in the liberal arts. The possibilities are endless. We will also provide you with opportunities to network with alumni, many of whom are accomplished professionals working at the top of their fields. When you meet and connect with professionals among the IC alumni community, you are starting up a conversation and developing a connection that could lead to an internship or career.
Ithaca College's commitment to sustainability resonates in the School of Business. We are located in a new, sustainably designed home for the School of Business: the Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise. We are proud to have built a facility that exemplifies the responsible use of natural resources and an understanding of organizations as citizens in their communities. In fact, the Park Center was the first facility for a college or university business school and one of the first 100 buildings worldwide to earn platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification, the highest level granted by the U.S. Green Building Council.
Graduate students can jump-start their careers in either our M.B.A. program or our M.B.A. in professional accountancy, which is designed to meet the 150-hour educational requirement to sit for the CPA examination in most states.
In short, if you're excited about business and want a college that connects you with experienced faculty, passionate alumni, courses in the liberal arts, a wide range of student activities and organizations, and real-world experience, you've come to the right place.

Does ZBiddy really work as it says it does?
by wildlife721 - 8/22/12 6:47 PM
Before I join I'd like to know if ZBiddy causes a lot of unwanted emails from third party companies and other offers/phone calls/telemarketers, etc.; or can you just use the site without opening the door to a flood of unwanted attention? Do items really go for such bargains as they say?

Is Building an App as Easy as Building a bear?
There were two recent events that inspired me to write this blog entry. The first was an Informatica Users' Group meeting where I was invited to speak about Informatica's new offerings in the data replication space. Like many of my presentations I like to begin by asking the audience to share their exposure to replication technologies, how they are using it, how it is working for them, etc. After quizzing this particular audience I was astounded by the number of customers that were writing their own extraction routines to pull data from various data sources, it was over 80% of the audience. I started to ponder this concept as I delivered my presentation and tried to point out specific areas where building might not be as effective as buying.
The second event was the Saturday after the Users' Group meeting. I had taken the family to Disneyland and my daughter wanted to visit Build-a-Bear. Now I ask you, how can any doting father refuse a 10-year old's plea for the "The most special bear in the whole world, I'll name him Daddy Bear". Yeah I know, I should have "Sucker" plastered on my forehead. However, as I was going through the process of building this special bear with my daughter, I started to consider correlations on how this might pertain to building a replication technology verses buying one. The amount of staff is what first caught my attention, someone to help pick through the inventory of choices, someone to help pick a heart, a customized sound, a stuffing station, there was someone to assist in picking out accessories and clothes, I mean after all you can't have a naked bear. Of course no bear is complete without being a member of the "hug club". After all of this specialization was complete I ended up with a great memory and a bill in excess of $90.00.
I started to consider the issues the customer group faced when attempting to build their own extraction routines. Most had a variety of database sources, Oracle, DB2, MS SQL, etc. Each required a different person with different skill sets to write the extraction routines. Given the resources this could vary from database to database and even department to department. I'm thinking the hidden cost of staffing this exercise is probably overlooked by upper management.
There also didn't seem to be a common approach to how the extraction process is maintained. After further analysis most elected to extract the data was through Triggers or using SQL Select routines. OUCH, that is a pretty intrusive approach to pulling the data out of any source environment. I'm thinking a membership to the "hug club" might be in order once the overhead requirements are analyzed. But there is a distinct reason for this choice; it is straight forward and easier to troubleshoot.
Why? Because Build-a-Bear can quickly train new staff members on how to work each station, but specialized IT personal are harder to come by, and they come and go from organizations all the time. Writing a customized routine for extracting data might provide job security, but it might also paralyze an organization if errors are encountered after an upgrade, or change to the environment. Delays can be exacerbated if the author of the code has moved on and no longer works for the organization.
This topic has intrigued me and before I closed the presentation I inquired if anyone would be willing to participate in an ROI study to validate whether building verses buying would make sense in their organization. I had several willing candidates. Over the next several months I invite you to follow along with my blog series on this subject. I intend to document my findings and share it with a wider audience that might be considering an investment in a replication technology verses building your own.
For those of you who will be attending Informatica World, I'd like to invite you to join me at the Demo Booths and Hands on Labs. I'll be there all week and would love the opportunity to meet with you in person.

New album: Blak and Blu
Artist: Gary Clark Jr.
Label: Warner Bros.
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Gary Clark is the latest blues export from Texas to hit the big time. After a handful of independent releases and an appearance at Eric Clapton's Crossroads festival, Warner Brothers has decided to give Clark the big label push.
Since the death of Stevie Ray Vaughn, record labels have done their best to groom the next blues-guitar superstar. Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang are talented enough, but their talent is based on replicating Vaughn. While Gary Clark Jr. isn't obviously doing anything new on "Blak and Blu," his ability to pull from different genres and use existing blues forms in new ways elevates him above the usual blues rock crowd.
Clark's modern take on the blues means that the notion of a solid bassist and drummer who can keep a beat but stay out of the way has been thrown out the window. The hip-hop-ish beats to "Ain't Messin' 'Round" and "Black and Blu" have more in common with "Odelay"-era Beck than the standard 12-bar blues format. To further the hip-hop thesis, a sample from spoken-word pioneer Gil-Scott Heron makes an appearance.
More traditional blues/rock fare, such as "When My Train Comes In" and the sizzling "Bright Lights," are propelled by Clark's Buddy Guy-via-David Gilmour string bends. With a tone reminiscent of Billy Gibbons at his fuzziest, Clark's solos never devolve into mere noodling. The playing on this material is as important as the lyrics.
The only true misfire here is "The Life," which — while a pleasant enough piece of radio pop — is a bit too puny when followed by the bruising crunch of "Numb" and the superb Stax-channeling soul of "Please Come Home," which gives Clark a chance to show off his dexterous vocal range.
A medley of "Third Stone from the Sun" (Jimi Hendrix) and "If You Love Me Like You Say" (Little Johnny Taylor) is a visceral highlight, while album closer "Next Door Neighbor Blues" sends the album off with a little bit of front porch theater.
Other than one weak song and some production choices that erred on the slicker side of the road, "Blak and Blu" is a fantastic modern blues-rock album. Hopefully, this album will be the springboard to a stellar career that will revitalize the entire genre.
Classic album: Starfish
Artist: The Church
Label: Arista
Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5
Released in 1988, "Starfish" was the sixth Church album, yet to many Americans it may as well have been the band's debut.
Beginning with its 1981 debut "Of Skins and Heart," The Church built a loyal fan base in native Australia with its brand of hazy, psychedelia-influenced rock. The band had a cult-following in the States and the occasional MTV airing got them some notice on college radio, but no one predicted the banner year the band would have in 1988.
To this day, many fans view the band's 1986 album "Heydey" as the jewel in the group's early catalog, but "Starfish" — which included the band's fluke international hit "Under the Milky Way" — is the album that for a time pulled the band out of cult status.
Whether it was the band's choice or the label's, the decision to let go-to rock producer Waddy Watchel helm the record was a curious one. The Church had built its career on beautifully ragged compositions and performances, an approach that was foreign to Watchel — a man who'd had hit records with the likes of Stevie Nicks and Jackson Browne.
"Under the Milky Way" was such an engrossing song to those who heard it, odds are "Starfish" would have sold well regardless of its other songs. Thankfully, the album is packed with great songs and great performances.
Thanks in large part to an interesting video that MTV kept in heavy rotation, "Under the Milky Way" made minor chords and melancholic star gazing cool enough for Top 40 radio. Featuring an infectious chord-progression and a film noir vocal from Steven Kilbey, "Under the Milky Way" went on to be featured in several TV and film projects that have helped garner the band new generations of fans.
Dreamy pop always was and still is a big part of The Church game plan, but it's not the band's only trick. Album opener "Destination" is a great garage band/Pink Floyd meditation on drudgery. Guitarists Marty Wilson-Piper and Peter Koppes weave barbed, melodic guitar throughout the Los Angeles-mocking "North, South, East, West" and the acerbic "Blood Money" — which also was a minor hit that has been featured in various types of media. The album concludes with "Hotel Womb," which on the surface seems to be about someone trapped in a bad marriage but may in fact be commenting on something sinister.
The success of "Starfish" brought The Church to the attention of a small but sustaining cult audience that has been rewarded with other highly praised albums such as "Priest = Aura" (1992), "Forget Yourself" (2003) and "Untitled #23" (2009). The Church's mammoth body of consistent, high-quality work has never been overshadowed by "Starfish," but its success did shine a light on one of the best rock bands of the modern era.

Hey Andrea, long time no see. :-) Looking at what you were trying to do, I see that you're running against an el6 kernel, and these artifacts weren't compiled against that nor tested against that. We are working to get support for RHEL6/CentOS6 in the final product, but don't have artifacts for that testing yet.
Sadly I don't have more information to offer, as I have never tried to install the RHEL5 artifact on RHEL6 before.
finally i've got it working,
it's a long time i wait this new version because i want to rebuild from scratch my zenpack and study github procedure asap wa have zenoss 4 stable release
I'll talk with Zenoss about Core users accessing the Zenoss dependancy repo for these items. It'll make everyones life a lot easier.
--Shane (Hackman238)
Just to be clear, CentOS6 and RHEL6 are *not yet* supported platforms. When we have an artifact for RHEL6 I think that a number of these requirements will cease to be an issue. In the meantime I would ask that, for the bug hunt, you please use CentOS5 machines with the CentOS5 artifacts.
Andrea Consadori, long time no see. Why are you doing a 32 bit build of EL6? I would recommend 64 bit myself...

Hi jmp,
log time you don't see me because i was looking other nms due to zenoss device dependancy missing feature
i hope that with rel 4 there's something new for this feature ...
i use 32bit because was the iso i've under my hand during the test
You wouldnt happen to have the whole process documented would you (even abbreviated notes). I am attempting (miserably) to do the same on 64 bit.
stay with centos5 until new news
Its a science project, so the goal isnt "getting core 4 up" the project is getting it up on centos 6
on my install was only rpm dependancy issues, you can try with rpmfind.net
oh I see. you installed the *el5* on Centos 6. I see now. Thanks

CARSON, Calif. – Call Sunday's SuperClasico against Chivas USA a "must win" for the LA Galaxy or whatever you like, but LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena is preaching patience and focus for his club as they look to solidify a spot in the postseason.
Arena will be suspended for Sunday's match after leaving the technical area during last week's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers, but when asked if his team –which sits just a point from of being out of the postseason—is facing a must win, the Galaxy boss countered that sentiment.
"This is what we do for a living. People that can't take pressure, can't take criticism and all of that stuff that is tough and can damage your ego and confidence a little, that's part of the game," said Arena. "I've watched our congressional leaders tear themselves a part and they'll have to deal with that and get everything headed in the right direction. Our job is easy; we're just playing a game. This can't be the hardest thing in life that we're experiencing right now.
"As for any of that fine line stuff, this is it. We've been a team that has generally responded well to big games, so we have to show that down the stretch."
Whether the match is a must win remains to be seen, but the Galaxy head coach is quick to note that with four games remaining in the 2013 MLS Regular Season schedule, every game counts.
"We're now entering October and there's not a team qualified for the playoffs yet. Every game is pretty important," said Arena. "Everything is up for grabs at this point. The team with the most points in the league has 52? We've got 45 and you're already writing our obituaries."
The partnership between MLS and adidas has had major benefits for the players, but thanks to the folks at adidas and Kamp Grizzly from Portland, I was able to take advantage of the new LA Galaxy originals line.
The good folks sent me the items earlier this week and rather than post pictures of myself "modeling," I'll let Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez model the gear far better than I ever could. However, you can check out my gear below. I will say that all of the gear is high quality and fashionable -- as well as soft and comfy.
You'll have a chance to get your own gear on Saturday during the launch party for the originals line at the adidas store at Santa Monica's Third St. Promenade from 5-8pm and get a 30% store wide discount.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy will need to make do without head coach Bruce Arena for their match against Chivas USA on Sunday.
The MLS Disciplinary Committee suspended Arena one game for leaving the technical area during second stoppage time of LA's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers after Robbie Keane's goal was negated by Assistant Referee Eric Boria for offside. Per league policy, leaving the technical area is an automatic one game suspension, which means that Arena will not be allowed on the sideline or in the locker room during Sunday's SuperClasico.
With Arena suspended, it is likely that his second in command, associate head coach Dave Sarachan will lead the Galaxy on Sunday. Following training, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena declined to really address the suspension.
"I really have no comment. I'm going to save that for my book," said Arena. "Really, the best thing is to say no comment at this point. You should look at it yourselves and make your own decisions. ... There will be a time and place for me to discuss [the suspension] with the right people. My view is that these [suspensions] are never personal. They shouldn't be. It's just a matter of talking it out. Listen, to the letter of the law, who can argue? But we'll leave it at that. ... The story of this game is going to be Galaxy against Chivas, that's where my focus is."
Thoughts on Arena's suspension?
Share your thoughts below.
CARSON, Calif. – There's no doubt that every game that the LA Galaxy will play this is a must win—starting with Sunday's SuperClasico against Chivas USA.
In my look at this weekend's match, Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas states that LA must deal with a great challenge when they face a Chivas USA side that will be seeking to "make their lives terrible" on Sunday. That strong sentiment is echoed by right back Sean Franklin, who admits that LA's match against Chivas USA is a "must win."
"We have to look at this as a playoff game. This is a must win. We have to win on Sunday and that's the mentality that the team has to have," said Franklin. "We're going to go out there and fight for 90 minutes and get the result. If we have the approach then the game will come."
In the latest edition of View From the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino break down the SuperClasico between the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA.
Check it out below...
CARSON, Calif. – The SuperClasico is always a heated game for the LA Galaxy and Chivas USA, but the match will have extra implication as LA look to solidify a spot in the postseason.
The Rojiblancos have long since been eliminated from contention for the MLS Cup Playoffs, but the Galaxy are currently tied for fourth place with the Colorado Rapids, just one point ahead of sixth place San Jose Earthquakes. With the Rapids taking on Seattle Sounders FC on Saturday before facing San Jose next Wednesday, LA must begin to rack up points as they seek to qualify for the playoffs for the fifth straight season.
Although the SuperClasico is always a heated and physical affair, Galaxy midfielder Marcelo Sarvas admits that LA must approach each game like it's a playoff game from here on out.
"It's like every game from here to the end of our journey this season. We have to get points because we are dealing with a lot of risk," Sarvas told LA Galaxy Insider. "We're very close to heaven and yet very close to hell. We need to reach the playoffs."
CARSON, Calif. – Sean Franklin knows that he could have done better last Sunday when Portland Timbers forward Maximiliano Urruti beat him to the end line and flicked in the only goal of Portland's 1-0 victory over the LA Galaxy. Now the Galaxy right back is determined not to let that happen again.
Urruti's goal is emblematic of the set piece goals—the team has allowed 13 to date— that have plagued the Galaxy throughout the season. After the error in the Rose City, Franklin admits that the team must get back on track when it comes to defending set pieces.
"We're definitely not going to get back to the playoffs or win any championships by allowing goals like that. I think that I just need to bump him or beat him to the spot," said Franklin. "[Urruti] was able to beat me and score a goal, but that's just not acceptable on my part. Especially with how late it is in the season when every point counts."
The Galaxy and Franklin will look to get back to winning ways on Sunday when they take on Chivas USA in the final edition of the SuperClasico. Although allowing set piece goals has certainly been a recurring theme for LA this year, Franklin insists that the problem will be fixed in time for the postseason.
"This week is huge. I'm disappointed with the result last week, but this is a huge game this week against Chivas. It's going to be ugly and scrappy as it always is," said Franklin. "This game is going to be a fight and I'm looking forward to getting ready to go to war on Sunday with my teammates."
CARSON, Calif. – Set pieces have been a recurring problem for the LA Galaxy this year with the team conceding 13 goals off set pieces to date, but if they're ever going to correct the problem, they'll need to get a little bit down and dirty.
The Galaxy conceded their sixth goal off a corner kick during LA's 1-0 defeat to the Portland Timbers on Sunday that was a result of Maximiliano Urruti's goal off a Will Johnson corner in the 52nd minute. Following the loss, LA defender Omar Gonzalez implored his teammates to get a little bit nastier on set pieces and following training on Tuesday, associate head coach Dave Sarachan agreed with the defender.
"I think that's a big part of it. There has to be [a sense of] physicality when you defend restarts," said Sarachan. "There is wiggle room that referees are allowing because in reverse we feel like we get impeded like crazy and as long as we know what the parameters are within the letter of the law, we've got to be a little bit grittier as well.
"There's a lot of colliding going on set pieces and there's a lot of moving pieces, but underlying that is an intense concentration and making sure that you beat your guy to that ball," said Sarachan. "If we're not good at it then we better get at it because it's been an issue for us."
CARSON, Calif. – This summer has been a rollercoaster for LA Galaxy midfielder Robbie Rogers, but now the 26-year-old is ready to get back to what he does best—play soccer.
The hoopla that surrounded his coming out and the subsequent trade of his rights to the Galaxy from the Chicago Fire in exchange Mike Magee dominated the headlines, but the midfielder has struggled to make a lasting impact on the field. To date, Rogers has made nine appearances with six starts in MLS league play as well as an appearance in U.S. Open Cup and CONCACAF Champions League.
Out since Aug. 20 with a left hamstring injury, Rogers went through his second full day of training on Tuesday and hopes to return to game action sooner rather than later -- possibly as soon as LA's match against the Montreal Impact on Oct. 16.
Although it has been an "unlucky summer" for Rogers that has seen him deal with frustrations he's hopeful that he'll be able to get back on the field.
"You come back from having five months off and then you retire, but then you come back to a sport that was rough for you when you were younger with being gay and, then once you have the courage to come back, you get injured three times and then get sick in the middle of that. It's very frustrating," said Rogers. "But I'm happy that I play here [with the Galaxy] and that I have my family here to support me. I love doing this, I feel like I've immersed myself in the team and I love being able to train here. It's frustrating [not being able to play], but it's part of sports.
"This summer has been a bitch for me, to be honest, but I feel good now," said Rogers. "Knock on wood that I won't have any more injuries because that could possibly be [the end of] my season if I do."
As for the connection with Magee and the vocal minority of the Galaxy fanbase that mention the trade? Rogers is pushing that out of his mind.
"They can say all they want with Mike Magee, but the truth is that he asked for a trade and [Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena] said that he wouldn't have traded Mike Magee if he hadn't asked for a trade," said Rogers. "That puts pressure on me…but people can say that if they want, if they want to blame something, I don't care. I get to be out here and play soccer in my home town and in front of my family. That's what I wanted, but I'll get over these injuries and those expectations will be there again."
IThe LA Galaxy's playoff hopes are coming to come right down to the wire.
I analyze the current playoff picture in the following piece for LAGalaxy.com.
The Galaxy sit in a tie for fourth place in the Western Conference with the Colorado, just a point ahead of sixth place San Jose Earthquakes, who are on the outside looking in. The Galaxy and Colorado each have four games remaining while San Jose have three left on their docket. However, the Earthquakes will play the Rapids on Oct. 9 at Buck Shaw Stadium before taking on the LA Galaxy on Oct. 20 at StubHub Center.
Imagine a Knockout Round game between the Galaxy and the Earthquakes? Intense, right?
Now is your chance to vote and offer your thoughts in the comments. Where will the Galaxy finish the season?

iOS geolocating app?
I looking for an app that will geolocate photos based on a MAP. I realize there are apps that use the gps and synching to geotag existing photos, but I want something that allows me to use a Google map (preferable not an Apple one ) to tag it, like some of the desktop applications. It's just handy to do it on the road when I'm thinking of it rather than waiting until I return home (and forget where I was )
|Dec 14, 2012, 02:40 PM
I'm a little confused by your post. If you are taking photos with your iPhone, then they are already geotagged, so long as you've enabled location services for the camera.
If you are taking them with another camera, then why not just use a geotagging app (there are several of them, but I use Trails)? Otherwise, I'm not quite sure how you are going to tag a photo on your camera by pinning a location on a map on your iPhone. Or you can just snap a photo with your iPhone at the same location and then use that information to manually drop a pin for your other photos in something like Aperture (and maybe iPhoto, but I stopped using that several versions ago).
|Dec 14, 2012, 03:02 PM
Sorry; I thought it was obvious I was not talking about geotagging photos that are already geotagged. And using the phone isn't practical in GPS mode; the battery is dying too quickly when running GPS apps. When I need to do that kind of geotagging I use a dedicated GPS logger since it's far more efficient and accurate. And using HoudahGeo or other methods to do it in bulk later works, but that means lugging a laptop around. Overkill for a few photos.
I'm not sure how I'd do it with maps on the phone a la Aperture's method, which is why I asked. Not being a developer, I'm not sure it even can be done in iOS.
|Dec 14, 2012, 03:27 PM
So say you can mark the location on your iPhone map of a photo you took with your camera. Then what? You would still need a way for the two systems to interact. A geologging app does this semi-automatically (meaning you still need to run the photos and gpx file through HoudahGeo or Aperture). There's no way to geotag photos taken with your camera by using your iPhone other than to run a geologger app. You are using two different devices, and you need some way for the two to communicate with each other. That's what the geotagger's gpx file is for. Otherwise, you have to do it manually by dropping pins in Aperture. In fact, this is exactly what I do when I take photos and don't have my phone with me to run a geologger.
To save my phone's battery, I will often just pause and resume the geologging app, turning it on only when I am taking photos. You'll end up with a gpx file that jumps around a lot, but that's fine. It can be a bit of a pain to remember, and then to wait while the phone's gps gets a lock on the location, but it makes the battery last a lot longer. For those moments when I forget or shoot something that requires I be quick about it, then I will just manually geotag the photo(s) later.

|Dec 14, 2012, 04:17 PM
Aargh. Sorry; I assumed way too much.
I'm not taking photos with the iPad. They would be geotagged already (although not sure if that's true if in Airplane, mode etc.).
I'm not syncing to a camera. Maybe Eye-Fi would do that; dunno.
I'm not interested in a GPS app that records waypoints and then syncs later on with a computer and a roll of imported photos. Have lots of ways of doing that now.
I want to import a photo to an iPad (raw would be nice) and in addition to editing it I'd like to geotag it. Even if the metadata is messed up (date on camera wrong, etc etc). By just finding the location on a map. As one can do in numerous computer applications. But on an iPad.
I can manually enter coordinates in the metadata, but that's a bit of a pain with the limited cut and paste of an iPad.
And BTW the built-in GPS's in cameras I've seen aren't as useful as a logger and the software. Some can eat up your battery. Some GPS apps also lag on geotagging because they insist on continually running to make a track rather than simply being switched on and off.
I just don't have much use for geotagging most photos; I only do it occasionally and hence the need for just the map-to-saved-photo workflow. Did this all the time with "Assign location..." in Aperture.

Photosmith would be great; I'm transitioning from Aperture to LR anyway.
But geotagging is in the "planned" stage. At least they're considering it.
