Okian Warrior agrees. He wants help to create a new site at www.altslashdot.org and needs help to make it happen:
http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=4757817&cid=46170797 [slashdot.org]
This shit about forcing us onto inferior technology and inferior information at a technology site is asinine. I can't believe they are going to force us onto the beta site after all of the feedback we've given them with the specific reasons about what is wrong with the technology. If they can't believe the experts in technology who are also their customers, who are they going to believe?
For a laugh, here is an article [cio.com] written by someone at computer world and promoted at cio.com about what marketing would like to say to IT people like us. It starts off with "Chief marketing officer David Perry knows exactly what he needs from his organization's IT department" and goes downhill from there. Dice, take note that this article is so full of holes, we could tear this article apart in our sleep yet you are just like Chief marketing officer David Perry. You think you know what you need to do and you are wrong because you are not listening to us.
I agree with one thing mentioned in the article: technology people and marketing people should work more closely together. Why aren't you? Why aren't you reaching out and hearing our feedback? You have 3, 4, and 5 digit users saying very negative things about the beta site with clear logical reasoning. The 6 and 7 digit users are in full support.
Want to stop Okian Warrior and keep who you haven't lost here? Halt production of the new website and publically announce that you're scrapping it. Fix the problems with the old site and then get feedback as how to improve the old site. Yeah, some of us are a little crass, but we'll work with you if you work with us.
I just posted to Okian's thread suggesting the possibility of a one week co-ordinated boycott to show just how many beta foes there are.
Maybe we can call ourselves the VHS_Mob. : - )
I'd say a one week boycott could be interesting, but Okian Warrior posted the exact same message in several spots. (I'm just spreading the word.) Perhaps email him with that suggestion. He left his email in the message. Not sure how'd we'd organize that and have an effect.

Yeah, you guys should boycott. I shudder to think of how lonely and empty I would feel if none of the comment threads were about "fuck beta" and they were about the article instead. I think missing out on your company would be enough to convince me and the other complacent sheep here to join the cause.
They can be about the article any old time.
How many chances do you think we'll get to keep Dice from turning this place into SlashingtonPost?
As a 6-digit user I resent that. The beta is terrible and needs to be entirely scrapped.
And the absolute worst part is this bullshit they're feeding us about how they're listening to our feedback and making incremental improvements. It's fucking insulting. 99% of commenters seem to want the thing gone entirely, but they're not listening to us. They're shoving a horrible design down our throats and completely disregarding everyone that doesn't agree with them.

Not when you consider that people with half your tenure generally equal roughly two of you when it comes to attrition/turnover rates
I've got seniority (by duration of employment) over all but three of the people in the company, meaning I've "outlasted" about 70% of the company. However, only a few have ever been fired or left the company - one developer was quit-fired, one administrative assistant left for family reasons and maybe a quarter-dozen interns finished doing their time and found employment elsewhere (just as many interns found full employment with us - that's how I got in here).
So if "outlast" means "been at the company longer", I've outlasted everyone without a C-level title, and even one of those who have. But if it means "how many people have been fired before you", the answer is "not a lot".
So few people get fired around at my job that I didn't even think of that possibility. It's a fairly laid back job, even if the pay isn't phenomenal it think it's a good deal. Some people leave for a higher-stress higher-pay environment, but I'm not too interested in something like that.

No more overtime or lieu time. 37.5 hours a week instead of 40. They're turning it into a job!
There seems to be a strong perception, I think, that you're still "fairly new" until one day something happens and you realise that you're the old hand. There's rarely a point where you feel about half way between the two.
With 40+ engineers, we have no turnover at all. (One guy left a couple of years ago, but he's back). But then we live in a resort area, work in a recession-proof business, and are all semi-retired, old-farts.

I have interviewed elsewhere a few times, and have had a couple offers; but, as a middle aged guy with a family, stability and benefits end up trumping a better salary for me.

At one job a while back, I got on a sinking ship just as it hit the iceberg. Somehow -- mostly by happening to be working on projects that would most be missed in the short term -- I survived 8 rounds of layoffs over a seven-year period. By the time the company's assets, technology (such as it was) and trademarks were bought out by a competitor, I was one of two left out of over 350 salaried and hourly employees in three locations. In the end, I personally ripped up the carpet we'd put down in the office, because the landlord didn't want it left after we moved out. They did give me a generous "stay till the bitter end" bonus, so I was okay with it.
When I tell the story, people compliment me for being such a valuable employee to get kept around through all that, and I have to admit to the fact I mentioned above: at each layoff, I just happened to be doing something that the management didn't want to scuttle because the current bets were on it. Pure chance. Somebody had to be the last guy to be let go, and that guy was me.

If you consider just current employees, about half started before me and half after me. But if you consider everyone I have worked with at this job, probably close to 4/5 have since moved on to other jobs. Since most people here either stay all the way till retirement, or for just a few years, without much middle ground, the second measure will continue to grow much faster than the first.
While the company is long out of business, I've outlived quite a few people from the department I worked in at the second job I had.

I've been in this specific industry (a narrow niche area of specialty chemicals) for sixteen years now, and have been with my current employer for ten years. During my first few years here, the company's summer picnic included a guessing contest around the question of the average age of the employees working at HQ. At that time, it was an astounding 62 - many, many employees across most departments dated back to the earlier family-owned days of the company, and little hiring had been done in many years.

more "noob" than "past it"'.
A good follow-up question would be whether this makes you happy or sad.
Frankly, the jobs where I "lasted" the most time were some of the ones I enjoyed the least.
The Dance is getting harder and harder. Got to keep up with skills, but one has to balance it with life. I find it harder and harder as I get older. Life keeps aiming at derailing work.

Poll THIS.
So I start work and a month later someone that has been there 10 years leaves. Did I out last them? Or do I only out last them if they started at the same time or later and leave before me?
At my previous place of employment, I had trouble writing out my "goodbye" letter to the team remaining, as most of the good stories involved people who not only weren't there, but no one left even knew them.
That might be a sign, btw, for any managerial types, to worry about your staff turnover. Just sayin.
No, really, it was. And I'm a little weirded out by the timing of this poll.
I became a regular employee of the company I work for just this week, making me the newest in one sense.
I've been contracting for them since 2009, which would put me in the middle of the pack.
I started working for the company that merged into this one way back in 2003, and I'm the only one who used to work for that company still left, as well as having been at one or the other longer than most employees of the current company.
I no longer have to care.

DALLAS -- Texas commuter Steve Love calls texting and driving an epidemic in this country that needs to be addressed.
It seems a lot of people are doing it, even though they admit it s a bad idea to be typing on the phone while navigating the road.
We need to put them down and focus on everything else that s out there said motorist Arturo Madrid.
Some lawmakers in Austin agree.
On Tuesday, they renewed the discussion of passing a bill to outlaw the driving distraction.
AAA Texas is asking its members across the state to contact their state legislators in support of a ban on texting while driving.
The organization says there is a simple game that highlights how much attention one activity can take away your attention from another.
Basically, you shuffle a deck of playing cards, set a timer, then separate the cards into the four different suits and put them in order.
Then, reset the timer and perform the same task while simultaneously answering simple math questions being asked by someone else.
The task gets remarkably harder, and takes a lot longer.
The point, says AAA Texas spokesman Doug Shupe, is this: You may be able to do two things at once but can you do them well? Can you do them safely?
AAA does the exercise with teen drivers. While it can be amusing to see the slower reaction times when dealing with cards, they want to impress upon the young motorists that it s no laughing matter with cars.
Taking your eyes off the wheel for just two seconds doubles your chances of being in a crash, Shupe said.
But even tragedies in the news haven t been stopped distracted driving. Clearly, even if texting while driving is banned, it ll still take enforcement to truly get the message across.

Perch fishing is getting better in the western basin
Cathy Boreako
Our precious Lake Erie is turning green in the Western Basin, but from reports I have read the colder water temperatures this season are keeping it from turning to pea soup in major amounts like past seasons. But, this report is not about the green goo, it is about another green colored water creature; our beautiful Lake Erie perch.
As you are well aware, we had a major cold front last week, with strong northwest winds that blew for 3 days straight. The walleye bite had slowed down, so I took an opportunity to go after some perch. From the reports I could gather, several areas are doing well for limits of nice sized perch. There's a big area up on the northwest side of North Bass Island, that's south of "Taco Bell" (red can on the border), that's doing very well right now. Expect to go through a lot of smaller throw back sized perch, white perch, and sheephead to get a limit of 8-12 inch sized perch.

One husband would die in a war overseas. The other would die from a war he brought home.
Veronica Ortiz Rivera and Anna Ayala are not related by blood but have been self-proclaimed sisters for nearly a decade. For these two Jacksonville widows, the losses of their husbands came years apart in their friendship. Throughout it all, both have been each others backbone.
"We have so much history together," Ayala said. "When I told her my husband died, she dropped whatever she was doing and came over to be with me. That's just how we are for each other."
Ortiz Rivera and Ayala's friendship predates their marriages to their respective husbands. The two met in Jacksonville while working at a local call center in 2004.
"I can't really explain why we were drawn to each other," Ayala said. "We just clicked as soon as we met. She's a people person and I was drawn to her personality. I knew from the start she would be a good friend."
The Ayalas and Ortiz Riveras would spend time together after church on Sundays, have barbecues on Fridays and spend time dancing on Latin night.
"We were just like a family," Ayala said. "We spent a lot of time together and it was great."
When Javier Ortiz Rivera, Veronica's husband, died on Nov. 16, 2010, in an explosion in Musa Qala, Afghanistan, the Ayalas were there for her.
For the next two years, the Ayalas were her support network. They listened to her when she needed to vent. They watched her three children when she needed alone time. They wiped her tears when she cried. But most of all they helped her start to move on.
Now, in the wake of her own husband's death in a motor vehicle wreck and his March 26 burial at Arlington National Cemetery, Ayala is receiving the same support she was once gave.
The day that her husband retired from the Marine Corps in 2009, Ayala came home and found him standing in front of the window in their apartment— somewhere he had been standing for hours — with bloodshot eyes and still wearing his utilities.
Ayala's husband, Johnny Ayala, was diagnosed with PTSD prior to his medical retirement from the Marine Corps and struggled almost daily, according to Anna Ayala.
"I don't know what it's like to live with post traumatic stress disorder, but I know what it's like to live with someone who does," Anna Ayala said. "When Johnny's PTSD got worse when Javier died, she would send me bible versus via text message just to let me know she was thinking of me. She would reach into her heart and touch me with those versus. She gave me strength."
Actively involved in therapy, Johnny Ayala was still involuntary committed for his disorder upwards of four times.
"He couldn't get rid of the demons he brought home from Iraq," Anna Ayala, 31, of said. "He did his best to hide it from me but his eyes said it all. And when Javier died, it really set Johnny back. Javier was his brother. He was trying to help me understand it all — it was like his blood brother had died."
No matter how hard Ann Ayala tried, she couldn't fully get her husband to open up to her.
"He was hurting," Ayala said. "He thought he was weak if he showed anything. He only told me two stories from Iraq. ...The one thing he could never shake off was an order to shoot a little girl. He said she may have looked like 10 and 11 years old — very young. (The enemy) were using her to set a bomb off. As a father with a daughter, every time our daughter had a birthday he would just shut down. What really stuck with him was an image of the little girl's father rocking his dead daughter."
She prefers to remember the man she helplessly fell for during a fishing trip with the Ortiz Riveras in 2008.
"When we were on the boat that day, he started laughing at me because I was too dressed up," said Ayala. "I thought it was supposed to be a cruise not a fishing trip. He kept telling me over and over that I was 'the most beautiful woman I've ever seen' and he had this smile about his.
"We just clicked."
Anna Ayala was at the opposing stop sign of a four-way intersection when her husband's vehicle was struck by a truck.
"I watched him as he died," Ayala said. "When I finally got to his car, I pried open the door and held his hand. I told him I wasn't mad at him and that I loved him. ...That's when his grip loosened and the reality sunk in that I might lose him."
Johnny Ayala died at Onslow Memorial Hospital within the hour, and Ortiz Rivera was one of the first people Ayala called. She would be by Ayala's side all the way through her husband's burial, which brought a unique challenge.
Despite Ortiz Rivera's husband dying almost three years prior, Johnny Ayala's grave was merely feet away from Javier Ortiz Rivera at Arlington.
"I get anxious and my heart starts beating really fast every time I go to visit Javier," said Ortiz Rivera of going to Arlington National Cemetery for Johnny Ayala's burial. "I felt in my heart that today isn't about me, Javier or my heartache. It's about Johnny. I had to put my feelings aside. Breaking down wasn't an option. ...Everything inside of me wanted to run to (Javier's) grave and scream, yell and cry.
"The entire ceremony brought back my most terrible memories and the whole time I could see my husband's grave, which made it even harder."
For Ortiz Rivera, the most painful part was hearing the gun salute and the playing of taps. The folding of the flag was excruciating; and as Ayala walked to the casket for the last time, Ortiz Rivera envisioned herself doing the same thing not too long ago.
"I'd been through it once so I knew what to expect," Ortiz Rivera said. "My heart was waiting for the next blow. ...Watching such a close friend in that pain was horrible. I wouldn't wish this pain on my worst enemy. When it happens to someone you love, it sucks. I don't know any other way to explain it."
As both women continue to mourn they also continue to rely on each other.
"When I found out that Johnny died, I told her she didn't have to go through it alone," Ortiz Rivera said. "I told her I'd hold her hand, that I'd be there for her through the end just like she had been there for me. I told her I couldn't offer her much besides the fact that I know and I understand.
"With Johnny's death, I'm prepared to help her. I'm prepared to be strong for her, just like she was strong for me."

Have you begun to prepare for Boards yet? If so, what are you doing in terms of preparation? Any advice?
Well, I have the USMLE Step 1 book somewhere in my room, that has to count for something right? Although I haven't started studying from actual board review materials, I still feel like I'm in great shape. For starters, tutoring both semesters of Anatomy has really kept me up to date, especially for Lower Anatomy. Given the fact that Lower Anatomy is a significant portion of the boards, I feel pretty confident in that area. Additionally, KSUCPM's curriculum is set up in such a way that the Spring semester before boards reinforces concepts from previous semesters. For example, between Pod Med and Intro to Surgery, we're relearning concepts from Micro, Lower Anatomy and Pharm that should make studying for boards much less tedious.
How do you strike a balance between class work, studying, and social activities? Any suggestions for prospective students on building/maintaining a balance?
Stay caught up! Although I haven't exactly been practicing what I preach lately, I try and spend an hour or two every night going over that day's lectures. In doing so, I can afford myself the ability to take most weekends off and enjoy social activities. Additionally, the nice thing about having exam weeks is that it gives us flexibility in scheduling vacations and trips. When one exam week ends, the studying load is pretty light for the next few weeks, providing you a great block of time to schedule a trip, or just take some time off to relax. Time management is key, but I think what's most important is prioritizing. And yes, skipping a night of Pathology to watch The Walking Dead is an acceptable form of prioritizing.

"Other tools only allowed us to view certain parameters of the machine. Now, we can look at all of them. MathWorks tools are orders of magnitude better than any other tool on the market."
Jay Vaidya, Electrodynamics Associates
Research and development projects for military applications are challenging because of their complexity and innovative nature. For small to mid-size engineering firms to compete successfully for these projects, they must adopt practices that accelerate design and development while solving difficult engineering problems.
Electrodynamics Associates, a designer and manufacturer of electric motors, generators, and associated controllers, met the strict performance requirements for a 200 KW generator for the military by using MathWorks tools instead of building hardware prototypes.
"We used to build hardware-based controllers that were inflexible," explains Jay Vaidya, president of Electrodynamics Associates. "With MathWorks tools, we can run simulations and generate code for a PC or DSP that we place in the control loop. We couldn't have completed this project without them."
Electrodynamics Associates would need to design a 200 KW generator capable of running at 62,000 RPM in an airborne system. Since the generator would be used for military purposes, they would need to design the generator and controls to comply with rigid standards and specifications.
The most difficult technical challenge would be to control the conditions and actions of the rotating components inside the generator so that the power generated would meet those specifications. To control these conditions and actions, Electrodynamics Associates would need to simplify complex computations using a mathematical coordinate system of transformations.
"Not only do we want to control the voltage and other conditions inside the generator, but we also want to monitor the data on the machine—speed, current, voltages, and temperatures—from our PC," says Vaidya. "Some of the generator outputs will feed into sensitive avionic equipment, so controlling the voltage is critical."
Finally, Electrodynamics Associates would need to deliver their controller design on a portable system so that military personnel could connect to the generator and validate performance.
Using MathWorks tools, Electrodynamics Associates designed a controller for the 200 KW generator that operates at 62,000 RPM for a military airborne application.
After defining the technical specifications, Vaidya and his team used MATLAB® and Simulink® to model the generator and the power electronics system and to design the control loop. Before they built the generator, they ran simulations of their models to simulate the operation of the generator and validate performance.
While the physical system is constructed to provide three-phase power output, the mathematics that describes the current and voltage generation is complex and difficult to implement. Electrodynamics Associates simplified the mathematics with Simulink by expressing the current and voltage generation in a rotating frame of reference.
"The conversion from the three-phase model is too complex for other software packages," says Vaidya. "Simulink let us make these conversions easily."
Using Simulink, Electrodynamics Associates identified the quantities of voltage and current in the rotating frame. Using that data, they controlled the output voltage of the generator. They also modeled the system failure modes and the actions to protect the system in the event of failure.
After completing the preliminary design, mechanical and electrical engineers built the actual generator along with the power electronic devices and control interfaces.
They then used Simulink Coder™ to generate C code from the Simulink controller model, which they downloaded to Simulink Real-Time™ to control their machine. They then tuned and calibrated the controller for generator characteristics.
"There are certain parameters that you cannot measure, such as those that change with temperature," says Vaidya. "You need to estimate parameters in the design stage and then run the machine to tune the controller. This can be a slow process, but Simulink Real-Time lets us do it quickly."
Electrodynamics Associates will deliver its design to the military on a CD that contains all of the Simulink models, along with a PC and other hardware to run the system in real time using Simulink Real-Time.
The company is incorporating DSP-based controllers, and plans to deploy code onto their new real-time controller for TI's C2000™ and C6000™ DSPs using Embedded Coder®.

This is probably a stupid question since nobody in the Walking Dead universe has survived a walker bite but just curious. Is there no way he can just chop off his hand or does the bite spread very quickly? I just don't want him to die because he seems like the only one who can take care of Clementine and it would seem weird for someone like Kenny to do it. Unless her parents are alive, which I doubt.
Also, how come he wasn't already feeling ill after the bite? Duck started feeling down right after they left the motor inn on the RV while Lee was able to talk normally and make the trip to the morgue to find Clementine.
So yeah, is he hopeless or is there a slim chance the devs will defile the lore and get him cured?

Guest blog post from Nancy Perry, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Government Relations.
"Every walking horse that enters into a show is sored. They've got to be sored to walk. There ain't no good way to put it, but that's how it is."
These were the words of Barney Davis at his sentencing hearing in a Chattanooga, Tennessee, federal court on February 27 after being found guilty of soring horses. Last night our friends at the Humane Society of the United States released horrific undercover footage showing horses being whipped, kicked, shocked in the face, burned with caustic chemicals, and violently cracked across the head and legs with heavy wooden sticks. These are just a few of the barbaric training methods used in the walking horse industry.
What Is Soring?
Soring is a training technique that is even worse than it sounds. Painful chemicals and other devices are used to cause such agony to a horse's front limbs that any contact with the ground makes the horse quickly jerk up his or her leg. Soring is done to elicit "the big lick," a high-stepping gait prized and rewarded at horse shows. And it gets worse. To hide their cruelty, trainers also do what they euphemistically call "stewarding"—beating and inflicting even greater pain to the horses so they don't react poorly during inspection. This brutality, as captured in HSUS' footage, masks the fact that trainers are soring the animals. It sounds impossible that this practice continues, even when showing sore horses is banned by the Horse Protection Act (HPA). This practice is violent and abusive—and we will not tolerate it.
What Is the USDA Doing about It?
Last year, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors had the resources to attend just 62 of approximately 700 walking horse shows nationwide. In addition, although the USDA promised in March to release rules that would take an important step toward enforcing the ban of these unethical and cruel practices, they have failed to do so.
While the USDA drags its feet, the 2012 walking horse season is well under way. It's time to finally take the power out of the hands of criminals! Contact your legislators today and urge them to speak out against soring and demand improvements to the 40-year-old Horse Protection Act.
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to use your voice to help these under-protected animals.

We are devastated to report that a three-month-old Pit Bull puppy named Joey was thrown from a car in Brentwood, Long Island, on Saturday. A witness found the tiny 10-pound pup in a plastic bag near the Sagtikos State Parkway, covered in fleas and crying out for help. Joey suffered three broken vertebrae in his neck and is recovering at the Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island.
The ASPCA is offering a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction in this case. This reward is in addition to a $5,000 reward offered by the Suffolk County SPCA. We are also providing a $10,000 grant to the Veterinary Medical Center to offset some of the costs of treating and caring for Joey.
"We were both outraged and saddened to hear about this disturbing case of violent abuse, and the callousness that was demonstrated by those responsible," says Matt Bershadker, Senior Vice President of the ASPCA's Anti-Cruelty Group. "While our ultimate hope is that these types of heinous acts never occur, this is a message that cruelty toward animals will not be tolerated. We are pleased to be in a position to help those who are helping Joey."
If you have information related to Joey's case, please contact the Suffolk County SPCA by calling (631) 382-7722.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state—if you see something, call 911. Please join our battle against animal cruelty today!
You who did this to this little one...you have not gotten away with it, your sin will find you out!...as for Joey I will take him...seriously. I was born and raised in Long Island and always will be one at heart, I come from the era that had one, and I believe alot of good people still exist there, I live in GA now but I have always rescued dogs, have three as pets and would love to take in joey in any level of recovery he is...email me if he needs a home...God Bless you sweetie
I agree with throwing the guilty jerk out of a car window, however, that's not going to happen. You know they won't get jail time either. Cruelty to animals is still not taken seriously enough. Just a slap on the hand and maybe a little fine. They could make these people work in shelters cleaning up the poop for a long time. All my kisses to Little Joey!
May our prayers and good thoughts help this beautiful soul to recuperate from the cruelty from people,..... I would SAVE A DOG, AN ANIMAL .... BEFORE SAVING A HUMAN BEING.
I can't express how angry this makes me!! I hope they find who did this and put him/her away for a very very long time! Prayers go out to Joey, what a sweet little pup. I pray when he has recovered, he will be placed with a loving family...I don't think there will be a shortage of people wanting this special little guy!!
A sad story for sure. But what I found most sad, and most damning, is that we as a society cannot even react to something like this without ad hominem attacks and pissing matches! Somehow a story about this poor animal turns into back and forth snarky comments about "stupid Long Islanders" or "executive's kids" etc. Come on people, we don't have to make every story into a pissing match. Grow the f*ck up!
I hope that by offering that large Reward they cautch the Sob that did this. I hope that the person spends time in jail and a fine for this.
I'm sorry, but how could anyone be that cruel to abuse and maybe murder another living creature? What if we did this to them? They just don't care
Bless you Joey as you speed toward recovery. May you soon feel nothing but the happiness that comes from being with your loving family. You deserve loads of peace, wellness and happiness.
To all the people that are choosing this forum to unleash your anger. Please remember that it is anger and hatred that creates most of the ills in this world. Quite possibly the cause of Joey's situation as well.
I believe that if we are sending well wishes for Joey, then they should be positive and loving. Not hateful and demeaning.
His precious life is worth FAR more than the cruel animal that threw him out. that person will get
re-paid in full. THANK YOU for helping this little boy and making him know he is truly loved and valuable, may he go on to have a happy and appreciated life from these days on.
thank you aspca and the kind person that rescued him, bless you.
Why in a plastic bag? If the owner thought it would help... He was just totaly un-cool. Hope you get better Joey.. I wish I could adopt you.

Comments about 17 LED Lantern:
The product is small but I found it bright enough to be placed near my Nook to read during a power outage. I also place it on top or in front of a mirror and use it as a nightlight to navigate around sleeping dogs during power outage. For the price, it is a fabulous deal - the batteries are more expensive (always buy on sale...).

Got these to have a few more emergency type lights in case of power loss. Very small lights, but seem to light a large area. No idea how long the batteries will last, but guessing as long as any other light. I'd recommend them.
- Smaller than I thought

Comments about 17 LED Lantern:
True the lanterns are smaller than I thought they would be but give off lots of bright light. I intend to hang them on my enclosed front porch more or less as a porch light at night since the porch doesnt have any light on it at all. Will also use them in case of power failures.

"RMU's Organizational Leadership program furthered my skills and experiences. It provided me with a wonderful foundation to leadership and the confidence to exceed my professional and personal expectations. My degree translates well to my workplace, and I believe it will be an ongoing asset to the rest of my career." – David Pallof Jr., Officer, Senior Procedures Analyst at PNC Bank
The Master's in Organizational Leadership is an interdisciplinary degree which builds on your experience as a member of society interacting with a wide variety of institutions to learn how to effectively develop others and accomplish organizational goals.
Students learn and practice how leaders recognize opportunity and motivate individuals and groups, and how and why followers choose people to lead them. To provide you with a deeper understanding of how leaders and followers accomplish and adapt, you will study the theories and strategies of leadership, conflict negotiation, critical thinking, and ethics and change, as well as how to manage information and technology, and analyze human behavior in cultural contexts.
The organizational leadership master's degree is a hybrid program that incorporates both classroom and online coursework. A completely online program is also available. The program is now being offered at RMU Downtown as well as at the 171st (ARW) in Moon Township (Military Personnel Only).
For more information, contact Anthony R. Petroy, D.M., Department Head, Organizational Leadership, at firstname.lastname@example.com or 412-397-6302.
The M.S. in Organizational Leadership is a 30-credit degree program comprised of seven required courses (21 credits) and three concentration courses (9 credits). Please click here for the most current course map.
The M.S. in Organizational Leadership degree program is designed to accommodate both full-time and part-time students. Courses are offered in eight-week sessions. You can take one course each 8-week session, including summer, through the year and complete your degree in less than two years. You can take more than one course each 8-week session and complete your degree in less time.
Two study options are offered: one with eight classroom sessions, each with an online component; and another in a fully online format. In the fully online option, all course work is completed online in 5.5 hours per week. No class meetings are required. In the partially online option, courses combine classroom study with an online component. These classes meet for two hours one evening per week, and require an additional 3.5 hours per week online.
The program is also offered at RMU Downtown at 339 Sixth Avenue in downtown Pittsburgh.
Graduates of RMU's Organizational Leadership program are able to respect the skills sets of others, embrace diversity, make better/more strategic decisions by considering all the necessary aspects of informed decision making, and build better relations with their bosses, direct reports, and supervisors. We frequently get positive feedback on how our grads' presentation skills and meeting planning have improved. Their confidence levels increase in leadership roles and they are more willing to take the lead in bigger projects. Also, the program helps our grads network with others in the class who come from different industries/professions and see how circumstances can influence different leaders in different ways.

Name the 5 most influential people in your life. How many of them were teachers? Name the 10 most successful people in this country. How many of them were educated in the PUBLIC education system?
Thomas Jefferson placed education as the foundation of democracy. You cannot by definition have a democracy without public education. Scott and Hill (1954) wrote, "There has been a subversive attempt to discredit all democratic institutions. The primary institution of democracy is public education, education for all, not just the elite, everyone.
Education in this country has always been responsive the culture of the country and responded to the concerns of the times. During the sixties and seventies there was a government mandate to shift from academics to the emotional health and attitudes of students, to creating world citizens. Reading and writing took a backseat to values clarification, humanistic education and my personal favorite, the self esteem movement. Don't get me wrong, on the surface each of the things had something to add, something we needed but they were really an attempt to undermine education and by definition democracy.
Today failing schools are big business. Millions of dollars are spent on outside consultants who ride into town on their white horse to save us from ourselves and ride out with a bag of money under their arms. Everywhere you look headlines scream the same message, Failing Schools! And who's to blame, if you believe the mob mentality its teachers. That's right folks, we have horns and tails.
Is it any wonder that the after five years almost half of all new teachers leave the profession? We are hemorrhaging teachers in this country and they don't leave because of the salary. "Poor administrative support, lack of influence within the school system, classroom intrusion, and inadequate time are mentioned more often by teachers leaving low-income schools where working conditions are more stressful; salary is mentioned more often by teachers leaving affluent schools." Claudio Graziano
Teachers have become an easy target. They are the one variable systems have control over. Systems do not have any control over parents, poverty or a culture that has declared open season on teachers. We have a climate of fear in this country. That's part of the problem. We have a problem of poverty in this country, working class, two parent families who live below the poverty line.
Remember what happened with the military during Viet Nam, body counts, spitting on soldiers, all that? That's what education is going through now. Public Education and all that it is needs to be supported. Stop listening to the rhetoric and start asking questions about what is really going on? You want to fix education? Fix poverty! You want to fix education? Stop paying ball players millions and teachers pittance. You want to fix education? Get involved! Or would you rather sit on the side lines and complain?
Don't get me wrong. I know that we have problem with education in this country but let teachers be part of the solution instead of only holding the blame. This is our profession too. This is our country and for a long time no one has listened to us. We need to restore the public trust in teachers that we used to have. The lack of trust among teachers, parents, administration and the public is killing us.
Stop complaining about education. Stop blaming the people who have the least influence in decisions the effect education, teachers, and start asking them what they think. Start celebrating teachers who make a difference in quite ways that go unnoticed. Get involved with your community. All it takes is one person one moment to change the life of a child. All it takes is one person one moment to make a difference. Be that person.

Chodosh Lab
Viral Pathogenesis Unit-as part of the Howe Lab
James Chodosh, M.D., MPH, David G. Cogan Professor of Ophthalmology in the field of Cornea and External Disease, Harvard Medical School
Our laboratory's long-term goal is to develop new information-based therapies for ocular surface inflammation due to viral infections. We study the molecular pathogenesis of adenoviruses in corneal infection. Ongoing projects include studies on the role of keratocytes, the resident cells of the eye's corneal stroma, in the chemokine-driven innate immune responses to viral infection of the cornea. Specifically, we study signal transduction events in response to infection with adenoviruses in cultured human keratocytes, living mice, and complex tissue culture reconstructions of the human cornea, at the nucleic acid, protein, and cellular levels, and how those signaling events influence the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators. We also study how previously uncharacterized regions of the adenoviral genome contribute to viral pathogenesis. This work involves whole genome sequencing, bioinformatics, and proteomics, and use of a novel mouse model of corneal adenovirus infection.

This well-known portrait of Colonel Mosby is part of the Museum of the Confederacy's art collection. It was painted in 1865 by Edward Caledon Bruce. Postcard measures 4 x 6.
The Museum's Reunification Promenade features the modern flags of the 11 Confederate states in the order of their secession in addition to Missouri, Kentucky, and Maryland, which contributed thousands of men to Confederate military forces.
Painting by Jean-Leon Gerome Ferris, ca. 1920 depicts Generals Lee and Grant at the McLean House, Appomattox Court House, Virginia on April 9, 1865.
General Robert E. Lee wore this uniform frock coat to the surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. His staff officers described Lee at Appomattox as dressed in his neatest style, new uniform, snowy linen, etc. The coat is displayed with Lee's gauntlets and the pen with which he signed the terms of surrender.
The presentation sword General Robert E. Lee wore to the surrender at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865 was a gift from an anonymous Marylander in 1863. The motto inscribed on the blade, Aide toi et dieu l'aidera, translates to Help yourself and God will help you. Lee also wore the sword when he posed for a full-length portrait in the Richmond studio of Julian Vannerson in 1864.
The Museum of the Confederacy-Appomattox showcases an unparalleled collection to tell the stories of the Civil War. Using original artifacts and documents, as well as audio and interactive displays, the visitor is led from the outbreak of war to the surrender of Robert E. Lee and his army at Appomattox and into the years of reconstruction and beyond. The Museum is located at the intersection of US 460 and State Route 24.
Headquarters Flag of General Robert E. Lee. This First National pattern flag was made by Lee's wife, Mary Custis, and his daughters. It was used from June 1862 through Summer 1863. From the Museum of the Confederacy Flag Collection. Postcard measures 4 x 6.
General Robert E. Lee (1807-1870) . After leading Confederate forces through four terrible years of war, Lee was instrumental in helping to restore a shattered nation and heal the wounds of division. (Portrait by J. Vannerson, Richmond, VA 1864). Postcard measures 4 x 6.
The Last Meeting of Lee and Jackson, by Everett B.D. Julio (1843-1879) oil on canvas, 1869. This historic painting depicts the final meeting between General Robert E. Lee and Lt. General Thomas J.

There are many situations where you might find that it would be useful if a class not under your control had additional methods that you define. In order to enable this capability, Groovy implements a feature borrowed from Objective-C , called Categories. There are a few categories that are included in the system for adding functionality to classes that make them more usable within the Groovy environment.
The first category allows you to treat DOM objects as arrays and maps so that you can use them in conjunction with the Groovy path expression language and treat them like JavaBeans. Here is an example from the tests of using the DOMCategory:
As you can see here we are treating DOM objects just as if they were JavaBeans and are accessing them with GPath. The ServletCategory is similarly used when we want to treat the attributes of Servlet API objects as if they were properties since they don't follow the typical conventions for JavaBeans or Maps either. In the GroovyServlet that lets you use scripts as servlets we call GroovyCategorySupport from Java in order to make it possible to use property accessors against the request:
This allows users to access things like Session attributes and request Attributes by name instead of through the API within their Groovy servlet scripts. For example, without this you would have to do:
With this you can say it more tersely as:
In order to create your own Categories and extend classes yourself you'll need to understand what the "use" keyword expects to be defined within the class you pass to it. To add a method to a class T, simply define a new class with a static method whose first parameter is of type T. Here is a simple example from the tests:
This code will print out the string "test". This facility is extremely powerful and essentially lets you change the way any class in the system works when it is called from Groovy code. Note though that you can't add methods to classes, pass them to Java code, and expect the Java code to be able to call them. Since most people use statically typed Java with little reflection I doubt this case would come up much anyway.
Here is an example of using this as an end user in order to add methods to Apple's own NSDictionary and NSArray class in order to manipulate their Cocoa objects as if they were native Groovy objects:
Notice how we can even create Category classes in Groovy code. They essentially look just like built-in ones within
DefaultGroovyMethods. Define them by creating a static method that takes the type you want to extend, then the additional parameters that the new method will take.
Advanced Usage
A category needs not to be directly exposed to the user code, the following will also do:

The Ulster Covenant
The archive of the Ulster Unionist Council, held by the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI), contains just under half a million original signatures and addresses of the men who, on 28 September 1912, signed the Ulster Covenant, and of the women who signed the parallel Declaration. In total, the Covenant was signed by 237,368 men, and the Declaration by 234,046 women.
Photograph of Carson signing the Covenant - (PRONI INF/7A/2/48)
Previously the Covenant was difficult and very time-consuming to access and, consequently, it was under-used. PRONI has now improved access by digitising all the signatures, in recognition that the on-line database should make a significant contribution to both genealogical research and cultural tourism.

Boehner: Up to Democrats to prevent budget cuts
Thursday - 2/14/2013, 3:04am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- House Speaker John Boehner said Wednesday it's unlikely the Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate will prevent a wave of automatic spending cuts from beginning to strike the economy in two weeks. Yet he sounded hopeful about avoiding a partial shutdown of the government when a temporary spending bill expires next month.
Cloistered in his Capitol office overlooking the National Mall, Boehner said in an interview with The Associated Press that he was skeptical of many of President Barack Obama's plans, laid out the night before in the annual State of the Union address.
Boehner voiced doubts about Obama's proposal for taxpayer-funded help for pre-school education for all 4-year-olds, and would not commit to passing a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants, though doing so would be "somewhat helpful" to members of his party as they seek to regain support among Hispanics. "There's no magic potion that's going to solve our party's woes with Hispanics," he said.
Boehner also refused to swing behind any of Obama's gun-control proposals and said he opposed the president's plan to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour.
The Ohio Republican said he gets along well with Obama but admits their relationship hasn't generated much in the way of results, pointing to two failed rounds of budget talks in 2011 and at the end of last year. Boehner is frustrated that spending cuts Obama signaled he would agree to in 2011 have been taken off the table since the election.
"It hasn't been real productive the last two years, and frankly every time I've gotten into one of these high-profile negotiations, it's my rear end that got burnt," Boehner said. "It's just probably not the best way for our government to operate."
Obama stumped Wednesday in support of his minimum-wage plan, his calls for a manufacturing revival and his other State of the Union proposals in a trip to Ashville, N.C., where he said: "If you work full time, you shouldn't be in poverty." He takes his case to Georgia on Thursday and his hometown of Chicago on Friday, all part of his effort to build popular support for an agenda facing stiff resistance back in Washington.
"It's not a Democratic thing or a Republican thing," Obama said of his initiatives. "Our job as Americans is to restore that basic bargain that says if you work hard, if you meet your responsibilities, you can get ahead."
The immediate agenda, though, is dominated by $85 billion in automatic, across-the-board spending cuts -- called a sequester in Washington-speak -- set to slam the Pentagon and domestic programs over the coming seven months. Boehner said he has no plans to resurrect legislation passed by Republicans last year to block this year's sequester.
The speaker said that until Obama puts forward a plan to avoid the sequester and Senate Democrats pass it, "we're going to be stuck with it. It's going to be a little bleak around here when this actually happens and people actually have to make decisions."
Boehner noted that while plenty of GOP defense hawks are anxious about the automatic cuts, Democrats concerned with cuts to domestic programs have a lot on the line, too.
And he sounded glum about prospects that the two sides will come together in the spring on a separate, long-term budget blueprint to address the government's fiscal problems.
"It's hard to imagine that you could reconcile (the separate budgets) the House and Senate pass," Boehner said. "But at some point, in some manner, it almost has to happen if we're going to deal with our long-term spending problem."
In March, the House and Senate will take up competing long-term budget blueprints. In a break with past years, House Republicans promise to balance the budget within a decade -- without additional tax increases beyond the $600 billion-plus in tax increases on wealthier earners won by Obama as part of a deal to keep the rest of the Bush-era tax cuts.
He said that an impasse with Senate Democrats, who insist their rival budget plan will raise taxes and contain softer budget cuts, is probably inevitable.
Also looming is the need to pass legislation financing the government through the budget year ending Sept. 30. Here, at least, Boehner saw some promise, predicting a resolution will pass soon to head off a partial shutdown.
Washington's most powerful Republican was also non-committal on two of Obama's top second-term initiatives: overhauling the nation's immigration laws and enacting stricter gun control measures.

I am in Pensacola. Have Cox Comm. had the game wednesday on channel that is FS FL (sun sports). I dont have todays game. No idea why. Now i am stuck w/ some Southern Methodist college soccer game. I dont get it. I am relying on NBA LP free preview to watch. NBAtv blacked out. Wish I had more clarity on the situation. At least I had CST when it was broadcast on that. Low quality but better than nothing. I understand it is better that Hornets games are now available to New Orleans, and this is better, but judging by the crowd tonight, the interest is still not there. Sad.
You can take a man outta Kentucky...but you can't take the Kentucky outta a man!
DishTV has it on 447 tonight...440 last Wednesday
I feel bad for you guys not getting the games. Not fair. Hopefully it's get figured out soon. Looks like phone calls or emails will have to be made. Any answers 42?
Got my hopes up when there were press release talking about coverage all the way to near panama city (west of me) and especially when I got the game on Wednesday.
High School football should not be an excuse for poor NBA attendance, imho.
It would be one thing if it was game #40, but it is the 2nd game...
Yep, I have DirectTV and called Wednesday and again tonight since I am not getting the feed. I live on the MS Gulf Coast. I've talked to 6 different agents and all are flabbergasted. They've elevated this issue so the engineers are "supposed" to be looking at it. I encourage anyone else having problems to call because the agents were looking to see if anyone else had experienced this and reported it. There is strength in numbers I guess.
Called Dish and they got my problem worked out. Only missed the first few minutes. They even took some money off my bill for my troubles.
No game for me either. I am thinking this is a Directv/Fox Sports issue. It seems that anyone in the FS South area is not getting the game due to FSNO being a sub off of FS southwest. I am 50mi from NOLA, I even get the NOLA local channels on Direct but no Hornets. Hopefully they get their act together.
yeah, same thing for me bdot79. what's weird is I got Fox Sports SouthWest for the Mavericks game Wednesday and tonight I got the OKC game on FSOK. Afterward the games, the channels deactivate. It's like the in-market setting is hosed or something. Hopefully, they'll figure it out. I'm going to call every game till it's rectified.
yeah i am getting all the games but the hornets. I am on the line w/ direct right now. They are clueless.
Last edited by bdot79; 11-02-2012 at 09:14 PM.
A buddy of mine in Slidell with Charter told me he couldn't find the game...is that possible??? He said he found fox sports, but that it was fox sports southwest or houston.
"Times are not good here. The city is crumbling into ashes. It has been buried under taxes and frauds and maladministraions so that it has become a study for archaeologists...but it is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio."
