Cross-Selling the Right Product to the Right Customer at the Right Time
2011, Journal of Marketing Research
Shibo Li, Baohong Sun, Alan L. Montgomery
Firm are challenged to improve the effectiveness of cross-selling campaigns. In this research, we propose a customer-response model that recognizes the evolvement of customer demand for various products, the possible multi-faceted roles of cross-selling solicitations for promotion, advertising, and education, and customer heterogeneous preference for communication channels. We formulate cross-selling campaigns as solutions to a stochastic dynamic programming problem in which the firm's goal is to maximize the long-term profit of its existing customers while taking into account the development of customer demand over time and the multi-stage role of cross-selling promotion. The model yields optimal cross-selling strategies about how to introduce the right product to the right customer at the right time using the right communication channel. Applying the model to panel data with cross-selling solicitations provided by a national bank, we demonstrate that households have different preferences and responsiveness to cross-selling solicitations. Other than generating immediate sales, cross-selling solicitations also help households move faster along the financial continuum (educational role) and build up good will (advertising role). We show that the suggested cross-selling solicitations are more customized and dynamic and significantly improve over the currently adopted campaign-centric solicitations.

Once the installation of Sonar is complete, you are ready to launch analyses on your projects.
What does Sonar analyze?
Sonar performs a static analysis of your code.
Sonar analyzes 15+ languages. The code that is analyzed may be:
- Source code (.java files in Java, Cobol programs, etc.)
- Compiled code (.class files or jars in Java, dll files in C#, etc.)
By analyzing your code, the Sonar engine:
- Computes measures (lines of code, cyclomatic complexity, etc.) at different levels (file, module, project, application portfolio, etc.)
- Detects violations (non-respects of coding standards)
For some languages (like Java or C# for example), Sonar can also provide information on automated unit and integration tests like number of failing tests, code coverage, etc.
How to launch an analysis?
For a project embedding different languages, each of them needs to be analyzed by running its own Sonar analysis. Then the results can be aggregated at project level, using the Views plug-in.
There are several ways to run a Sonar analysis:
- using the Sonar Runner: recommended for non-Java projects
- using the Maven Plugin: recommended for Java projects built with Maven
- using the Ant Task: recommended for Java projects built with Ant
- using a CI engine
A series of advanced parameters is available when running analysis.

Cat Fear No Evil
Cat Fear No Evil (Mass Market Paperback)
What's the perfect read for fans of New York Times bestselling mystery authors Lilian Jackson Braun and Rita Mae Brown? This delightful ninth Joe Grey Mystery from award–winning author Shirley Rousseau Murphy.
When antiques and valuables begin to disappear from residents' homes, Joe Grey, Feline Detective, knows that something is very wrong in sleepy Molena Point, California. Lost are a five hundred thousand dollar painting, a diamond choker, and most shocking to Joe, his owner Clyde's vintage Packard roadster. But even a seasoned tomcat like Joe isn't prepared for the return of a yellow–eyed, sinister black cat who had terrorized him and his girlfriend Dulcie years before. The acid–tongued Azrael had paired with an old crook to loot the town and spread fear among the unsuspecting residents. Could Azrael and his partner be connected to this new set of crimes? But when a local waiter dies mysteriously at the art opening of one of Joe and Dulcie's closest human friends, the pair know that someone much more powerful and evil than Azrael's aging human friend is involved. And when miles away in San Francisco the cats' friend Kate––a woman with a mysterious, troubling secret––is followed by a stranger and robbed, the cats dig in their claws and investigate. Along with their tattercoat friend Kit, they pass clues to the police, and under the often sceptical eye of Clyde, slowly begin to sniff out the truth.
About the Author
In addition to her popular Joe Grey mystery series for adults, for which she has received ten national Cat Writers' Association Awards for best novel of the year, Shirley Rousseau Murphy is a noted children's book author who has received five Council of Authors and Journalists Awards.

Big data and GPS combine to cut emergency response times
David Crawford looks at technologies for better emergency medical service delivery. Emergency medical services (EMS) play key roles in transporting, or bringing treatment to, patients who become ill through medical emergencies or are injured in road traffic accidents (RTAs). But awareness has been rising steadily, in the US and elsewhere, of the extent to which EMS can generate their own...

Comments about Magura Disc Brake Pads:
The brakes work. What else can you say? They last as long as expected when using them for lots of steep descents and riding 10-20 miles per week. I wish they were cheaper, but I'm not willing to risk using the 3rd party replacements. Replacing every 6-9 months isn't bad though. I tend to use things til it's critical to replace though.
Comments about Magura Disc Brake Pads:
I used these for crosscounty race, never ride in wet or mud if I can help it. work as advertised.

Schoppernau offers outdoor activities in abundance, along with an unspoiled environment and crystal-clear air. Thanks to its location on the northern edge of the Alps, the Bregenzerwald area benefits from exceptional snow conditions and attracts hundreds of visitors. Schoppernau is a rural community at the foot of Diedamskopf Mountain, marked by traditional wooden farmhouses, lush mountain pastures, babbling brooks, and heartfelt hospitality. Nature exploration, mountain biking, paragliding, Nordic walking and hiking – there is something to do for everyone!
The way-marked trails for (Nordic) walking, hiking and cycling in Schoppernau and its surroundings allow for an unparalleled mountain experience in tune with nature. Once you have reached the top of Diedamskopf Mountain, you will be rewarded with stunning views of the foothills of the Alps and as far as Lake Constance. Diedamskopf is a prime destination among paragliding and hang gliding enthusiasts, too. Tandem flights are available for those who wish to explore parts of Vorarlberg from a bird's perspective. The local tourist board organizes guided herb walks, visits to a cheese dairy and a shingle maker's workshop, as well as wildlife watching tours. The Bregenzerwald Card is available for stays of three or more nights. It entitles to free mountain transport and visits to public outdoor pools in the area.
The Bregenzerwald area has successfully retained its charming, rural character and promotes sustainable tourism. Schoppernau and the Diedamskopf ski area offer all the amenities and infrastructure to make a winter break worthwhile. The cutting-edge gondola lift (each cabin seats eight passengers) takes you quickly up the mountain to the most beautiful vantage point in the Bregenzerwald area at an altitude of 2,060 meters. Diedamskopf is renowned for its spectacular views and outstanding skiing until April. State-of-the-art uphill facilities offer access to pistes for people of all ages and ambitions. In addition, there are cross-country skiing tracks, a snow sports center, a ski kindergarten, winter hiking trails, natural toboggan runs, and varied terrain for freeride skiing and snowboarding. The Unterdiedams slope is not only the major attraction in the Diedamskopf ski area, but probably one of the best of its kind in the entire Province. For a more relaxed snow experience we recommend a leisurely walk or a romantic ride in a horse-drawn sleigh.

Mordini Racks Up Season-High 17 Kills; Women's Volleyball Wins Fifth-Straight with 3-2 Win over Limestone
September 24, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. For the third year in a row, the Pfeiffer Lady Falcons needed five sets to knock off the visiting Limestone Saints in womens volleyball action inside the Merner Gym. Two of the top teams in Conference Carolinas battled it out for just over two hours before Pfeiffer scored the 3-2 (25-14, 25-13, 21-25, 24-26, 15-8) match win. The Lady Falcons, winners of five-straight, improve to 8-6 overall, 5-1 in the conference while Limestone falls to 8-8, 4-2.
Pfeiffer came flying out the gates hitting at a 40% and 47% clip in sets one and two. Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) broke a 5-5 tie in the opening set with her first of a season-high 17 kills on the night. A kill by Chelsea Anthony (Pickens, SC) at 12-7, brought the Saints within four halfway through the set. The freshman duo of Jordan OBryant (Reidsville, NC) and Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) would help the Lady Falcons finish off set one with three kills apiece in a convincing 25-14 win.
The Lady Falcons started set two with more fast paced action as OBryant and Ovbey threw down a couple of early kills moving Pfeiffer to a 5-2 lead. Pfeiffer would then take advantage of three-straight Limestone errors and a pair of aces by Mordini to gain their largest advantage of the night at 15-5. The final stretch in the second set would see Vanessa Gerig (Towanda, IL) serve up two more aces while Ovbey threw down two more kills for another big win, 25-13 in set two.
The Saints would come out in set three with a 21% attack percentage, their highest of their match, to avoid a sweep. Danielle Siebert (Naperville, IL) would register three-straight aces to get Limestone back even at 6-6. The middle portion of set three would go back and forth as Melissa Thomas (Pickens, SC) kills at 17-17 and 21-21 would keep the Saints in business. With three late errors committed by Pfeiffer, Thomas finished off the Lady Falcons with a kill and a 25-21 set three victory for the Saints.
Taking the momentum into set four, the Saints would have to fight off a late Pfeiffer rally to force a fifth set. With a couple of kills from Holli Dawson (Beaufort, SC) and an ace by Brooke England (Rochester, NY), Limestone jumped out to a quick 8-5 lead forcing a timeout by Pfeiffer. After another Thomas kill at 18-11 gave the Saints their largest lead of the set, the Lady Falcons would come back with a couple of kills by Mordini and Gerig squaring the contest up at 24-24. After a Saints timeout, a kill by Sam Johnson (Summerville, SC) and attack error by the Lady Falcons, Limestone would take set four 26-24.
In the deciding fifth set, another kill by OBryant and a pair of Saints attack miscues would give the Lady Falcons an early 3-1 advantage. A service error by Limestone and two more kills by Mordini shot Pfeiffer out to a 6-2 advantage, playing to 15 in the final set. After a Gerig kill and the teams changing sides, Gerig would finish off the Saints with a pair of kills and a ace to end the match.
In addition to her kills, Gerig finished her nights work with a season-high 44 assists. Mordinis 17 kills were also a season-high. Ovbey would follow with 15 kills while OBryant finished with 14. For Limestone, Thomas would finish with a match-high 19 kills while Siebert concluded the evening with 34 helpers. Pfeiffer hit 25% for the match while the Saints hit 10%.
The next match for Pfeiffer takes place on Saturday afternoon in the Merner Gym against visiting Converse. Match time is set for 1:00 p.m. with the annual alumni game to follow.

It is hard to imagine a time when people are not worried about their increase in weight. Almost every year, we hear a lot of people complaining about how to lose weight fast because their previous weight loss program never worked. Jumping from weight loss program to another seems to be the common practice for overweight individuals who want to see visible weight loss results in just a couple of months. However, the secret to losing weight fast and effectively is not just a healthy meal plan. Of course an active physical fitness program is also equally important but there is another basic rule to shaping up fast. The best people to work with come from a local utah seo company upprcut.com.
The key on how to lose weight fast is to eat your meals on time. There have been studies suggesting that eating early will help you lose weight fast in just a couple of months. The reason behind this finding is that the body's metabolism is at its equilibrium if we consume meals early in the day. Eating late, on the other hand, puts the body's metabolic rate into a state of imbalance. It has also been noticed that those who eat their dinner too late wake up late. Hence, the timing when we consume our meals have a direct effect to our body clock. Our sleeping and waking pattern is greatly influenced by our eating schedule.
So anyone who really get effective results immediately, the other factor that influences our weight loss success is our eating schedule. Thus, make sure to avoid skipping meals. Instead, try to eat early than the usual time that people eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The study also shows that there is a reason to follow the "After Six" diet program because eating meals early can really provide significant weight loss results in just a couple of months. But for practical dieters, there is still only one diet program that works without fail, and this is a balanced meal plan. What is still important on how to lose weight fast is to nourish the body with a multitude of nutrients by eating the right kinds of foods at its recommended percentages.

"They reached out to us and invited us to supper," Thornburg said. "She was Ms. USA, and her platform was organ donation. Before I knew all that, Jason paid attention to how I came in the Sunday school class. He heard me talk about dialysis, and we grew close. He was inspired by how I took it and stayed positive."
One day Jason laughed and said to Thornburg, "I'm going to be the one to give you a kidney."
Because Thornburg had battled colon cancer in 2003, they had to wait five years to see if Jason was a match.
"He went through all the tests and he was almost a perfect match," Thornburg said, pausing to fight tears. "God had truly sent this man to me. We grew closer and closer together. To be able to have a live donor is a blessing. He is a true brother from another mother."
Transplant improves quality of life
After the transplant, Thornburg was able to see more of his daughter's softball games at Catawba College. Brittney was a member of the Kings Mountain High School 2005 and 2006 state championship teams, but he wasn't physically able to attend many of her high school games.
"The transplant gave me a second chance at life," he said. "I can go on vacations and spend more time with my family away."
He played golf in the Kidney Association golf tournament -- his team always finished last -- and supported the organization in other ways.
"Many times, in spite of being sick himself, Scott has served as a volunteer for a Kidney Association function, even playing Santa Claus for our Patient Christmas Party," Hoyle said. "Scott has been, and continues to be, an inspiration to our other patients, as well as every one of our volunteers."
He also continued to see his lunch buddy from Shelby Middle School.
"I was on dialysis when I started," he said. "My first lunch buddy is now going into high school. I took him to a Panthers game and he and his brothers fishing. It's about being able to give back."
Facing the next health challenge
Thornburg was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2012 and has already had six weeks of chemotherapy that didn't work. During the second round of chemotherapy this year, he developed a sinus infection, abscessed tooth and a urinary tract infection.
The anti-rejection drugs he has taken since the kidney transplant suppress the immune system and increase his risk for cancer and infections.

I'm currently reading Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall on the heels of having read Escape by Caroline Jessop.
After having read Jessop's book, I get a better understanding of this one. What's different about it though is the author of this one was married by Jeffs at the age of 14 to a cousin who was abusive to her at a previous time when the prophet ordered Wall's dad to repent from afar because he couldn't control his family. "Control" in the FLDS meant not being able to keep the women "sweet" and obedient and their children likewise. Elissa and her siblings were forced to live on the ranch of an uncle who had an abusive son who Elissa was later forced to marry.
Like Caroline Jessop, Elissa Wall had plural mothers. They didn't get along. It created havoc and disharmony in the home and Wall's biological mother went to the prophet Rulon Jeffs for help. Jeffs was incapacitated from a stroke and his son Warren ordered her to leave for a while and allow Wall's dad to repent and work toward the prophet's good graces to let his other family come back. They were able to return but with the stipulation that her dad could control the family.
Another eruption broke out, leading Elissa's mother to once again call the prophet for guidence. This one lead to Wall's mother being "reassigned" to another man. In the meantime, Warren Jeffs had taken control of the sect and was putting out new proclamations from the lord which included no more public school because they were contaminated by the outside influences—-you know, like science, history, and the arts.
Another thing that both books mention is the rift in the community during the 80's in which women were being assigned to men in marriage by more than one councilman and/or the prophet. This lead to the prophet at that time, named Uncle Roy, to declare that assignments of marriage should only be proclaimed by the prophet. The council elders and a percentage of the community disagreed and this lead to the split. The ones that sided with the council elders were banished from the community and formed their own. Both communities were forbidden to have close contact with each other and the families who sided with the councilmen were called apostates.
As Wall points out, leaving all the decisions and power to one man can be a very dangerous thing.

TRAINING: Cardio is done at Purdue University. Either running stairs at the football stadium or sprints and prowler pushes in the indoor facility. Training is wrestling with Purdue's wrestling team and training with #TeamTwoTon in Indy with help from my mentor, Chris Lytle. These have been some of the most physically intense practices I've had in years.
When and why did you start training for fighting? A good friend (Jayson Werth – Phillies) asked me to fight in his inaugural promotion. I agreed and the rest is history.
Ranks in any martial arts styles: I'm a camouflage belt in awesome, turquoise belt in linguistics and a clear belt when I "trane" UFC. All very distinguished in their own way

A System Approach
"Pearson products explicitly lays out that they're common core aligned at grade level so in a way when teachers are implementing it with fidelity and they are implementing the grade-level common core. We know when we're providing supplemental or additional instruction, when they get back to the classroom, it's going to be powerful for them…it's validating for the ESL teacher. It's really validating for the ESL student."
– Clint Richards, ELA Specialist
"It is important that there is a system in place so nothing gets left out and so students don't miss out. SIOP was critical in successfully moving ELLs into the general classroom. If there weren't a system in place then something would be missing. And I don't think that the support and growth of students' language would be there if we didn't have all the different pieces [of the system] in place."
– Karen Hanford, ELA Administrator

MANDEVILLE, La. -- Hearing the word 'guilty' has re-directed a Northshore family's focus.
'I said Benson, Bridgette loved you. And against doctor's advice, she had a beautiful baby boy for you; a health, gorgeous boy. And you killed her,' said Bridgette Harveston's mother Marlene Everett.
Everett recounted facing her daughter's killer, Benson O'Brien III, when he pleaded guilty Wednesday to manslaughter. A day later, she and Harveston's father say it feels good to have it all over.
'Not only had he taken the life of our daughter, but the mother of her three children and extended family of nearly 100 people,' Blake Harveston said.
'It's been a nightmare up until now and we do feel relieved,' said Everett.
Harveston and O'Brien had a lengthy domestic violence history that ended last May when the 31-year-old was found strangled to death at O'Brien's father's house outside of Covington. O'Brien received 40 years in prison for the guilty plea and agreed to never contact the child he had with Harveston.
Getting to this point, they say, had a lot to do with help from strangers.
'Anytime something like this happens, it's something you never get over, but the support of the public and the law enforcement behind us, really made it much easier,' Harveston said.
Now, they want to help others trying to get themselves, or a loved one, away from domestic violence. On the Northshore they suggest calling SafeHarbor, at 985-626-5740, for that help.
Everett said, 'If a woman ever finds herself in that position, I think she should remember that she's a valuable individual. She should get away, that she doesn't deserve it and she shouldn't accept it.'
'Even at the cost of creating bad feelings between you and your child, it's better to have bad feelings than not to have your child,' said Harveston to parents.
Harveston's father and O'Brien's mother are still wrapped up in a visitation battle over the couple's 1-year-old son. An obstruction of justice case against O'Brien's father, who was arrested for tampering with evidence at the scene, is also still pending.

LECOM's Erie and Bradenton campuses recently elected new officers to their respective schools' Student Government Associations. These students will take the reins of leadership and work to uphold the mission statement of the school while serving as peer leaders for their classmates.
LECOM College of Medicine SGA President Marisa McNeal '12 is looking to build off the example set by previous SGA representatives.
"I'm hoping to continue the great job last year's (SGA) board did," she said. "I'm also hoping to add a couple different community service events and increase attendance at SGA meetings."
LECOM School of Pharmacy SGA President Nate Dahl '11 said the key to his SGA class is to continue to be a voice for the larger student population.
"The goals and ambitions of the Pharmacy SGA in the coming year are to continue to work hard to represent the best interest of our class in all important matters," he said. "We also look forward to getting students out into the community representing LECOM through various volunteer activities."
As LECOM Bradenton's new SGA president, Benjamin Cox '12 has lofty goals and high expectations for next year.
"As a relatively young campus, we must distinctly address the needs of being new to the area, such as raising community awareness to our presence and establishing connections with its social and professional organizations," Cox said.
Amy Ferrol '11 expressed similar aspirations about her role as SGA President for the LECOM School of Pharmacy Bradenton.
"My goals are to foster the achievements of LECOM's pharmacy professional association chapters and clubs," she said. "I aim to continue the initiatives of the past SGA, to increase activities between classes as well as the College of Medicine, and to expand on this by creating more opportunities to welcome incoming classes. I would also like to see increased participation in student organizations, conferences and community service, and look forward to working with club and association officers to help them achieve this."

The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine is taking a leadership role in meeting the challenges of 21st century medical education as the College opens LECOM at Seton Hill, the school's newest location at Seton Hill University in Greensburg, Pa. More than 100 students will begin their journey toward a doctor of osteopathic medicine degree.
LECOM President and CEO John M. Ferretti, D.O., welcomed the new students and honored guests on July 27 in the Harlan
|Dr. John Ferretti opens LECOM at Seton Hill.
Gallery, Reeves Hall, on the campus of Seton Hill. Members of the LECOM and the Seton Hill Boards of Trustees participated in the opening of this extension of LECOM Erie.
"Our goal has been to provide an opportunity for medical students to train in southwestern Pennsylvania, where there is a high need for future health care providers," Dr. Ferretti said. "LECOM's experience in Erie and Bradenton shows us that a significant number of graduates practice in the same region where they attended school." Nearly one out of three LECOM Erie graduates remain in Pennsylvania, and with more than 35 percent of the incoming class from Pennsylvania, the College anticipates similar results from LECOM at Seton Hill.
Dr. Ferretti noted that a high quality of medical education and an affordable cost attracts these students to the college. "Recently, a report to the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation challenged medical colleges to reduce the expense of becoming physicians, shorten the time that it takes to earn a degree, and train physicians who can help solve the problems of today's health care," he said. "LECOM has met that call to action with a reasonable tuition, a three-year pathway in Erie, and with a Problem-Based Learning curriculum here at Seton Hill and our other campuses."
Major Alexander Kirkpatrick is one of the students entering into his first year of medical school at Seton Hill. Originally from Allison
|Alexander Kirkpatrick, LECOM at Seton Hill Class of 2013, leads the Pledge of Allegiance.
Park, Pa., the father of three has served in several capacities for the U.S. armed forces, including involvement with homeland security.
Despite the lengthy resume of military service, Major Kirkpatrick always felt a calling to become a physician. "Being a physician was something I always wanted to do, but what really pushed me into applying for medical school was the time I spent in the hospital when my youngest son was born," he said. "He had lung issues and spent 11 days in the Neonatal ICU. Being in there and watching everything happen, that really just led me to move forward and pursue medicine as a career."
Major Kirkpatrick's wife, Catina, and sons Drew, Ian and Cade, are now getting acclimated to life in southwestern Pennsylvania. In addition to the benefit of a location closer to his native home, Kirkpatrick felt LECOM provided the best fit for him. "While geographic location is important to me and my family, LECOM always seemed like the place I would like the best," he said. "LECOM is well represented across the various specialties in residency, including primary care and other areas. I'm ready for the challenge."
His most recent military service included defense support of civil authorities, and involved helping civilians recover from hurricane damage in Galveston, Texas, and support of wilderness firefighting in the western U.S.
Geography also played a unique role for another incoming first-year medical student at LECOM at Seton Hill. Alexis Nikoula, a Greensburg native and graduate of Seton Hill University, will be following in the footsteps of her father, Jawdat Nikoula, M.D., (who also is the Student Health Director for LECOM at Seton Hill) ,and begin on a path to becoming a physician. And she notes the importance of LECOM opening up a new location in her region. "There are a lot of families in Greensburg and the surrounding areas that depend on their doctors and have a high respect for them," she said. "LECOM goes the extra step of imparting values and professionalism on the students in addition to the necessary medical knowledge. That kind of training will go a long way in this region."
|Dr. John Ferretti and Dr. Carol Fox of Excela Health welcome Alexis Nikoula, LECOM at Seton Hill Class of 2013.
Nikoula said she's ready to accept the challenges of medical school, with the ultimate goal now very clearly in her sights. "I've always wanted to be a doctor," she said. "It will be nice to go through school and learn what I need to know so that I can move on and do what I've always wanted to do with my life. I'm nervous, but also very excited."
The Class of 2013 will begin their coursework on the Seton Hill campus in buildings renovated to suit the students' unique learning needs. Changes have been made to both Lynch Hall and Reeves Hall to include additional administrative and instructional space, a laboratory for the students to practice osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), and a Learning Resource Center for study materials.
Students at LECOM at Seton Hill will use the highly successful Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curriculum developed at LECOM Erie and used as the sole curriculum in Bradenton and Greensburg. PBL is an internationally recognized, innovative approach to medical education which emphasizes student-centered, self-directed learning through small group interaction and limited faculty involvement. Irving Freeman, Ph.D., J.D., LECOM at Seton Hill vice president of institutional advancement, notes that LECOM "has become a leader in innovative, student-centered learning. In a very short time, we have demonstrated the success of our learning pathways through our graduates' results on osteopathic licensing exams and in their acceptance to residency programs throughout the country."
|Sisters Ritu and Shivani Gupta meet with Associate Dean Christine Kell, PhD. Ritu is a LECOM Erie OMS3 and Shivani joins the LECOM at Seton Hill Class of 2013.
To facilitate the continued success of the PBL pathway, two experienced PBL faculty members from LECOM Erie will serve as director of the new location. Mark Andrews, Ph.D., an original PBL faculty member at LECOM Erie and former director of the Independent Study Pathway, will be the Director of Examinations at Seton Hill. Donald Linville, Ph.D., served as assistant director of the PBL program in Erie and will take the role of Director of Problem-Based Learning in Greensburg.
Other faculty members include Jeffrey Kushner, Ph.D., associate professor; Sandie Seeger, D.O., assistant professor; and Stephen Sharkady, Ph.D., assistant professor. Virginia Syperda, D.O., M.B.A., Ed.D., is an experienced PBL facilitator, having served as a faculty member at LECOM Bradenton, and will direct the History and Physical Examination course and serve as professor of primary care medicine and as clinical professor of internal medicine/radiology. Michael Warner, D.O., associate professor of osteopathic principles and practice and clinical associate professor of family practice will coordinate the OMM courses. Dr. Warner has been a clinical faculty member of LECOM since 1996 and practices medicine in Ebensburg, Pa., with his wife, Margaret Warner, D.O.
Students also will benefit from close relationships with Excela Health, Somerset Hospital, and Conemaugh Health System in Johnstown, Pa., all of which will provide valuable clinical training for students during their third and fourth years. Through the Lake Erie Consortium for Osteopathic Medical Training (LECOMT), students will have access to more than 30 hospitals for clinical training and post-graduate training.
|Lynch Hall on the campus of Seton Hill University is one of two buildings where the LECOM at Seton Hill class of 2013 will learn about osteopathic medicine.

First, I would like to commend Greenpeace activists for their continued dedication and unwavering courage in taking a stand against policies that pose threats to our environment and the living creatures who depend on it for their survival. The recent detainment of the Arctic 30 is distressing to say the least. I would like to offer an idea that may help to reduce the stigma of the detainees, as perceived by their captors. I know it has always been Greenpeace's mission to create a better world today and for the future of our children. Based on this premise, maybe you could start a campaign to include young children who have some type of intimate affiliation (sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, etc) with the Arctic 30. These young people could express their grievance over the separation of their loved ones. This strategy might help to redirect the sympathy to the children rather than the detainees.
I hope this helps!

This is a very powerful idea. However, I'm sure you can imagine this is a very hard time for the friends and families of those detained. Many of them want privacy, others want to be active. We leave it up to them to decide what they do, and when we can help them by amplifying their voice, we do.

I appreciate your insight on my idea. I really didn't think about the privacy issue for the children affected by this. Maybe instead of using videos of these children, an audio tape could be used. You actually inspired this idea in the phrase 'amplifying their voice'.

The search for suitable substitute bus drivers begins with training and Lenoir County Schools begins a new training session next week.
The school system will conduct a three-day school bus driving course from Feb. 25-27 at its bus garage on N.C. 11. From 8:45 a.m. to 4 p.m., up to 50 people will endure classes in general and passenger knowledge related to school buses, including the air breaks and inspection.
LCS is currently looking for substitute bus drivers. The course is free for those who are eligible and accepted into the class.
Enrolling in the course is just step one and many candidates are weeded out along the way, often when driver history and background checks are called up.
"A lot of people won't be able to drive school buses simply because of their driving records," said Robert Lee, driver's education program specialist and trainer. "We actually have to have the highest standard of driving. Period. Of course our cargo is precious; it can't be replaced."
Even if candidates pass the four required tests to get the certification, they must still clear vision and physical requirements — the colorblind and those with compromising health issues cannot drive a school bus, although the latter will be decided by a Raleigh medical board examination.
People can re-test twice if they do not make the required 80 percent on any one of the four tests. After the written section, Lee schedules students in blocks to take them on an additional three-day "road work" phase, where they will do hands-on inspections and get used to driving the vehicle.
Denise Swanner, LCS transportation specialist, said the air breaks are the biggest difference between a school bus and commercial car. Another difference is the driver's environment.
"You've got students behind you (and) you're trying to pay attention to the road and the people on the road," Swanner said.
Lee teaches each class the same way but recognizes the variables that student passengers of different ages and rules that can vary from school to school. Counties and principals can require school bus rules and regulations at their discretion.
"For instance, we recommend (the drivers) assign seats," Lee said. "But we don't enforce that."
He added, "(The bus) doesn't really drive that differently. It's just about changing the mindset (and) really adjusting to the turning radius and the students."
He said the on-road class can take up to 60 days to complete because of the block schedule. Lee can only take three people at a time on the road, so he has to work around his schedule that also includes training in area counties. Once they pass the physical driving portion, they will be certified with a School Bus Endorsement and can apply for openings.

President Obama is rolling out a new ointment with which he hopes to soothe Democrats' pains this November and on into 2016. I think this new product could aptly be called "Marx's Magic Elixir."
The genesis of this newest political potion is that wealth imbalances are wrong, even if caused by imbalances of education, skills and efforts. According to his bully bullhorn, he and his party will swing the sword of righteousness to carve redistributive shares and make things "fair."
This nonsense is more than a hundred years old, regurgitated by Karl hence the appropriate product name. Class envy has been marketed in a range of dishes but this may be the first American administration to make it a core foundation of its national recipe.
Rants about wealth inequality resonate with a major slice of his base. Many of his supporters believe government should take people's stuff if they have "too much" and haul it aboard Obama's class-warfare express.
It's all been tried before and that train won't outrun history. Socialist drivel has been spewed in villages from jungles to deserts as a call to arms to take back wealth, but Karl's catchy "from each, to each" mantra has done nothing but create misery. Have you ever heard of anybody "escaping" to a communist country?
Of course, committed ideologues like Obama and his crew believe they'll make it work this time. Over the past five years I've been amazed at how much hogwash like this has been consumed in this country.
I guess some have developed a taste and appetite for such nonsense. Thankfully commune mindsets always run headlong into the real world, which is what's happening now.
From Obamacare to employment numbers and economic growth, the country's sluggish and isn't going to get much better while the magic elixir of "free stuff to all" is being used in place of real world logic. Liberals hate free market choices.
Locally there's a battle with the board of education regarding vouchers. The suits know if they allow the free market (parents) to make choices about where and how their kids are educated, ineffective schools will go away. Of course they know it means some bureaucrats and union members will also disappear. Oh my.
For reasons that completely escape me, liberals think we should all toe governmental lines about what we eat, what we earn, what's taught in schools and even what we think to the extent they can peek between our ears.
It's Orwellian spiced with hate. Even a nothing column like this one incites a few to foam at the mouth that I would dare to castigate and revile "their" president. I'm always amazed people so clueless can use a computer.
Until he's gone, we'll have to watch Obama aerosol his "Marx Magic Elixir" wonder product everywhere he can. I'll bet it's good at removing spots from anybody — five spots, ten spots, change, no job too small.
I know for a fact it makes an excellent repellant. Look what a good job it did keeping Kay Hagan away.

Gamble Nets Four as Women's Lacrosse Doubles Up St. Andrews 14-7
March 31, 2010
Story Courtesy of St. Andrews Sports Information
LAURINBURG, N.C. - Pfeiffer University scored six consecutive goals in the second half to pull away for a 14-7 Conference Carolinas womens lacrosse victory over host St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Wednesday afternoon. The Lady Knights (4-7 Overall, 2-3 Conf.) led 3-1 after 20 minutes but the Lady Falcons (9-4, 3-0) outscored St. Andrews 13-4 over the final 40 minutes to remain undefeated in Conference Carolinas action.
Pfeiffer used a balanced offense with 10 different Falcons recording at least a goal or an assist. Freshman Allie Gamble (Easton, Md.) led the visitors with four goals while sophomore Tory Binder (Woodstock, Md.) handed out a game-high three assists. The Falcons recorded assists on 10-of-11 non-free position goals.
Reigning Conference Carolinas Player of the Week, freshman Megan Jolly (Waterloo, N.Y.), led the Royal Blue & White with four goals. Junior Kim McDaniel (Joppa, Md.) added one goal and both of the Knights assists.
St. Andrews grabbed a quick 1-0 lead just 24 seconds into the contest when sophomore Anna Egeln (Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.) scored on a rush after Jolly won the opening draw control. Junior Jessica Kennedy (Perth, Australia) tied the score at the 27:02 mark, depositing a pass from Binder, to tie the score for Pfeiffer.
Jolly finished with a game-high seven draw controls. Jolly then put the hosts ahead for the final time, 3-1, with a pair of free-position scores midway through the first half. Pfeiffer answered with the next three goals to take its first lead, 4-3, that was capped by two consecutive goals by junior Jessica Moulton (Huntington, Md.).
Jolly deadlocked the score for the third and final time at 4-4 with her third tally of the day with 5:23 on the clock. Pfeiffer junior Sarah Hebberd (Golden, Colo.) responded with a goal just 65 seconds later to put the Falcons ahead for good while a sophomore Liz Melesh (Annapolis, Md.) goal with 19.9 seconds left in the period provided Pfeiffer with a 6-4 halftime advantage.
Junior Brett Vyverberg (Pittsford, N.Y.) scored in the opening minute of the second half to pull the Knights within one before Pfeiffer rattled off six unanswered goals in a 12-minute span to build a seven-goal cushion, 12-5. The two teams traded the last four goals in the final quarter of play as the Falcons won by the same seven-goal margin.
Junior goalkeeper Morgan Achilles (Geneva, Md.) had a busy day in net for St. Andrews, making 16 saves on 30 Falcon shots on goal.
Pfeiffer doubled up the Knights, 36-18, on shots while nearly having twice as many ground balls, 21-12. SAPC held a slim 12-11 draw control edge but the Falcons forced the Knights into making 21 mistakes with 12 caused turnovers. Pfeiffer did a much better job protecting the ball with only eight turnovers.
Sophomore netminder Caitlin Ryan (Perth, Australia) picked up her ninth win on the season, making five saves in 57 minutes of work. Moulton had a four-point performance with two goals and two assists. Kennedy netted a hat trick; Hebberd provided two goals and one assist; while Melesh and junior Alex Cook (Commack, N.Y.) both chipped in with one goal and one assist.
Falcons junior defender Amanda Smith (Leesburg, Va.) had game highs of six ground balls and four caused turnovers.
Both squads will return from the Easter holiday break against league rival Lees-McRae College. Pfeiffer entertains the Bobcats first on Friday, April 9 at 4 p.m., before St. Andrews visits Banner Elk, N.C., on Tuesday, April 13 at 3 p.m.

About Josh Ritter
Josh Ritter Tickets - Band HistoryJosh Ritter, hailed by many as one of modern music's great folk artists, was born in Moscow, Idaho in 1976. He exhibited an interest in music from an early age, and in college, studied American history by way of folk music. In 1999, he released his debut album Josh Ritter, and was eventually noticed by Glen Hansard of The Frames, who invited him to play shows in Ireland. In 2000, he released Golden Age of Radio, which caught the attention of record label Signature Sounds. From there, things began to fall in place for Ritter. In 2006, he releasedThe Animal Years, which featured hit single Girl in the War and was dubbed the album of the year by renowned writer Stephen King. During this time, he began to receive recognition from various prestigious sources, including his idol Joan Baez, who went on to record a version of Ritter's song Wings. He also performed on late night shows and toured the world, earning him mainstream attention. In 2011, he released So Runs the World Away, which peaked at number 41 on Billboard charts in the U.S., but number 1 on Billboard Folk charts in the U.S., as well as Irish Indie charts. He continues to gain attention, as well as embark on world tours.
Josh Ritter Tickets - The MusicRitter has often written delicate folk songs with lyrics that concern social justice, as well as love and life in general. On So Runs the World Away, however, he took a grander approach and added eclectic instruments to his sound, creating a more expansive sound. Ritter is a guaranteed treat to see live, so make sure to get your Josh Ritter tickets.

Practice, practice, practice...all kids are involved in something they have to practice. They all practice spelling and math equations. They might practice their soccer drills, or their cello. The old saying "practice makes perfect" is true.
So, did you know that arguing with your kids is also practice? Practice for what? What possible good could come from arguing? Just like any other skill, when you argue with your kids you're developing their ability to stand up for themselves. This is crucial in standing up to peer pressure and bullies.
No one person is right 100% of the time, including parents, but parents often don't want to admit when they're wrong. When our kids make mistakes, and we tell them 'it's okay, everyone makes mistakes' and yet, some parents refuse to admit when they make mistakes. Is it a matter of pride, or do we believe that if we admit we made a mistake that it will appear as though we're weak?

Pacific Coast News
BEST: We are used to seeing Rihanna glammed up to the max, so it was quite refreshing to see the sassy songbird downplay the bling, while out and about in Sydney. RiRi showed off her hot body in a sexy black shirt dress, rocking Lanvin chain strap heels and a quilted black bag, wearing her red mane long and sleek.
BEST: Amanda Seyfried showed off her gorgeous bod in a scalloped Versace mini dress and Jimmy Choo sandals at the Late Show with David Letterman.
WORST: Melanie Griffith did a little retail therapy in Los Angeles, wearing a blanket as a coat.
WACKY: Ashley Tisdale hit the mean streets of Beverly Hills, encountering a back to the future flop with her 1980's ensemble. The Hellcat paired a super tight floral tube skirt with a rock t-shirt, denim vest and cutout platforms.
WACKY: Lady Gaga was dressed to shock in a Thierry Mugler catsuit at Paris Fashion Week, leaving little to the imagination.
BEST: Blake Lively was in honorable a la mode at a Chanel dinner in her name. The Gossip Girl rocked Haute Couture from the French fashion brand with Christian Louboutin ballerina inspired pumps and a quilted bowling bag, in her signature sexy and sophisticated style.
WORST: So, we know that Take Me Home Tonight takes place in the past, but why did Debbie Gibson have to resurrect her Electric Youth threads for the premiere of Take Me Home Tonight? The 1980's pop star paired an animal print off-the-shoulder crop top with sparkly leggings and teal eye shadow, resulting in a fashion flashback flop.
BEST: Anna Faris looked red hot in a body con Donna Karan mini at the Los Angeles premiere of Take Me Home Tonight, finishing off her look with Brian Atwood Helena Platforms.
WORST: Teresa Palmer looked more amateur than awesome at the Los Angeles premiere of Take Me Home Tonight, wearing a Pepto pink Christopher Kane lace dress, which featured a plastic halter neck.
WORST: Jodie Sweetin hit the Los Angeles premiere of Take Me Home Tonight, wearing a teeny tiny mini dress with 1980's accessories.
BEST: Supermodel turned bigscreen babe Jamie King was dressed to thrill as the Los Angeles premiere of Take Me Home Tonight. The beautiful blonde showed off her flawless figure (and a few tattoos left over from the late 1990's) in a tiered Burberry Prorsum slate grey dress, which featured a sexy cutout back.
WACKY: Johnny Depp channeled Captain Jack Sparrow, arriving at the airport in Japan.
WORST: Miley Cyrus or an Olsen Twin?
WACKY: Richard Simmons wore a burgundy velvet warm up suit (which should have been retired in 1979) for a day of traveling.
BEST: Isla Fisher rocked a sexy look on the streets of NYC. We are digging her polka dot nylons!
BEST: Only Rihanna could pull off this belly baring Alexander Wang ensemble. The sassy singer finished off the look with studded Christian Louboutin heels, for a sexy Sydney look!
BEST: Mila Kunis took sexy to the extreme at the Academy Awards, scantily clad in a lavender Elie Saab gown, which showed off her hot body to perfection. Only the Black Swan babe could pull off the daring Haute Couture creation, and her courage to do so paid off! She finished off the look with over $500k of Neil Lane bling.
BEST: Sandra Bullock was one of the many stars who radiated in red at the Oscars, celebrating her Academy Award winning anniversary by radiating in a Vera Wang strapless gown. The Blind Side babe, who has plowed through a difficult year with beauty and grace, was the perfect blend of sexy and sophistication in the sculpted stunner.
WORST: Rita Wilson experienced a fashion flop at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, in a too-busy halter gown.
BEST: Cameron Diaz sizzled in Carolina Herrera at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, rocking Jimmy Choo peep-toes and a Lanvin cuff.
WACKY: Kirstie Alley looked gorgeous at a dinner for the Dancing with the Stars cast in her one-shouldered purple patterned summer dress‹but what happened to her shoes? The Cheers alum, who most recently starred in her own reality show Kirstie Alley's Big Life, should probably think about investing in some fancy footwear to go with her gorgeous dresses!
BEST: Malin Akerman stylishly promoted her upcoming movie Happythankyoumoreplease at the SoHo Apple store.
WORST: Rumer Willis' sparkling Badgley Mischka gown clashed with her orange hair at the brand's Rodeo Drive flagship store opening.
BEST: Jennifer Lawrence has definitely established herself this awards season as one to watch on the fashion front, but the Winter's Bone Best Actress nominee transformed herself from gorgeous to glam at the Academy Awards with the help of Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa. The red hot, custom-designed halter gown clung to the young actresses curves in all the right places.
BEST: Jennifer Hudson flaunted her startlingly skinny bod in Atelier Versace at the Academy Awards, dripping in $1 million of Neil Lane jewelry.
WORST: Cate Blanchett stepped out of her comfort zone with her lilac Givenchy Haute Couture gown at the Oscars, which was beaded in lilac and yellow. The attention-grabbing gown just wasn't a great choice for the Academy Award winning actress.
BEST: Gwyneth Paltrow looked sleek and sexy at the Academy Awards in Calvin Klein.
BEST: Natalie Portman rocked a powerfully purple Rodarte gown with Tiffany Bling, to accept the Best Actress award at the Oscars.

text: Calories to Burn ***8/26/14: Please refer to Math as a Fitness Professional and Nutrition Math for more up-to-date information on this topic. Your client wants to lose 20 lbs in the next 15 weeks. Or maybe you have a client who wants to lose 25 lbs in the next 20 weeks. Where do you start? What caloric deficit do they need to achieve this goal? Are they burning calories by exercising as well? (Remember, weight loss is when calories in < calories burned) For those of you who have gotten through Chapter 4 – Nutrition – in ACE's Essentials of Exercise Science for Fitness Professionals book, these questions may look familiar. For those of you who want to follow along at home, I'll be referencing pages 210-211 in the Essentials book and looking specifically at questions 7 and 9. Although we're going to use questions 7 and 9 as examples, there are ideas here that apply outside this chapter. When faced with a question asking 'what caloric deficit is needed", many candidates first go looking for an easy equation that will solve the problem. When they don't find one (because there isn't a specific equation) the panic starts to set in. But remember…when you start to panic, don't forget to take a few deep breaths also. First, let's look at question 7: Your client would like to lose 20 pounds (9 kg) over the next 15 weeks. What daily caloric deficit is needed to achieve this goal? Our client wants to lose pounds, and to do so we need to reduce her calories. So the first question is…how do pounds and calories relate? How many calories are in a pound? 3500kcal = 1pound (page 174 in Essentials) So… 1 lb = 3500kcal (remember, kcal is the same as calories, just shortened for 'easy reading') 20 lb = 70,000 kcal (we take 20 x 3500) 70,000kcal is what our client needs to burn, and she has 15 weeks to do so So… 70,000kcal / 15 weeks = 4666.667 kcal per week to reach her goal But we want to know daily deficit so… 4666.667kcal / 7 days (7 days in a week) = 666.667 kcal per day, which you can round to 667 kcal/day Got it? Understand how we got from the question to the answer? Great. But just when it all seems to make sense, question 9 throws in a curve ball: Your client would like to lose 25 lbs (11.3kg) over the next 20 weeks. If he agrees to increase his physical-activity levels by 300 kcal per day, how many calories would he need to reduce from his daily intake to reach this goal? You know where to start with this one, it isn't any different from question 7. We have to find out what calorie deficit the client needs per day. (You're on your own for this calculation) Got that number? Okay, now remember that a calorie deficit comes about because we burn calories through exercise or we just don't eat them. We know what calorie deficit/day the client needs…and we also know how much of this deficit is covered by physical activity. (hint…635 kcal/day deficit – 300kcal burned through activity = 325 kcal reduced from daily intake of food) What lessons do we take away from these examples? When you come across a question, particularly a math question, think about what you are being asked and what you know. Can you make any connections? This relates back to the understand rather than just memorize philosophy of the ACE exam. Questions? Contact an ACE Education Consultant at 1-888-825-3636 x782.

If I'm not watching any of my favorite reality TV shows like The Pitch, Flipping Out, or Shark Tank, I just might pick up my iPad for a little mindless fun. Here's a list of my go-to favorites.
