Inspiring Big Changes in How We Address Poverty: What I Take Away from Pope Francis' Visit
By Tom Salyers
Most mornings, I walk past St. Matthew's Cathedral where Pope Francis will celebrate Mass this afternoon. I see homeless people out front seeking pocket change from parishioners leaving Mass and—on Monday mornings—receiving food, clothing, and toiletries from the church's homeless ministry.
For me, the take away from the Pope's visit is not a religious one. Rather, we should all take away a sense of momentum. We should commit to truly seeing the homeless and poor people we're accustomed to walking past, as well as pursuing large-scale changes that help the most vulnerable.
One of my first experiences with social change came in my 20s when I was a member of an urban Atlanta Catholic parish with a very active social justice ministry. In addition to serving people who were hungry and homeless, the church was a pioneer in the early stages of the AIDS crisis with its outreach and support to those afflicted with HIV and AIDS. I became actively engaged in the life of Joseph, a man with HIV who lived in public housing and used a wheelchair. What began with my providing him weekly transportation to Mass blossomed into a friendship that lasted more than a decade until Joseph's untimely death from complications of AIDS. As a young adult with a corporate job, and still in the process of finding myself, this taught me the value of seeing real needs up close and participating in a community committed to making a difference.
Even though I moved away from regular church attendance, that early experience showed me the importance of understanding the lives of poor and vulnerable people through their eyes, in their own words and experiences—and the importance of contributing to substantial and positive change.
Since leaving the corporate world for nonprofit social change organizations 20 years ago, I have seen those two principles—understanding the reality of low-income people's lives and staying committed to large-scale, systemic change—motivate the work of passionate people who bring a wide range of faith and secular perspectives. At CLASP, our talented team works every day to understand vulnerable people's lives through both individual stories and the power of data and research to bring many stories together. At the same time, we stay focused on the opportunity for large-scale policy and systems change that can improve the trajectory of many people's lives at once, however discouraging a particular day's policy or budget news. (For example, just last week we analyzed new data from the U.S. Census Bureau to shine a light on those most affected by poverty as well as public policies like the Affordable Care Act and the Earned Income Tax Credit that are making meaningful positive changes in people's lives.) Our emphasis on facing problems head on while also insisting on solutions is what makes us an effective voice for change. And as CLASP's communications director who is responsible for bringing to the public the depth of our knowledge about data and solutions, I relish the good stories we can tell in the face of an otherwise despairing situation where even one person living in poverty is too many, let alone the 14.8 percent of Americans who are poor.
So, when I peer down the block today at the excitement surrounding the pope's visit to St. Matthew's, I will channel that energy into a renewed enthusiasm for effecting change, building on the inspiration I gained many years ago through my early experiences with social justice, brought to life for me through Joseph.

Figure 1. An electrocardiogram shows a heart rate of 53 beats/min, with a QT interval of 0.6 seconds and a corrected QT interval of 0.52 seconds.
The association of a long QT interval and congenital sensorineural deafness was described by Jervell and Lange-Nielsen1 in 1957. The estimated incidence of this rare syndrome, with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, is 1.6 to 6 cases per million.2 A more common form of long QT syndrome (LQTS) without congenital deafness, known as the Romano-Ward syndrome, is inherited through an autosomal dominant mode and has an estimated incidence of 1 case per 10,000 persons.3
The QT interval is prolonged in both inherited conditions, but it may be normal at rest, and variability in the interval may be found in the same individual at different times of measurement. In this disorder, the QT interval usually does not shorten appropriately with exercise. The corrected QT interval has been used to correct for heart rate (corrected QT = QT/√RR). A value greater than 0.44 seconds is considered prolonged.
Congenital prolongation of the QT interval must be differentiated from secondary forms that may occur with hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, hypokalemia, liquid protein fast diet, acute myocarditis, inflammation of the epicardial ganglia, and drug toxicity (tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines, quinidine sulfate, disopyramide phosphate, or procainamide hydrochloride).4
Most patients with LQTS are unaware of having the abnormality. The disorder is usually discovered by a routine electrocardiographic tracing following an evaluation for a syncopal episode, or in the evaluation of family members of individuals who have been found to have LQTS. Syncope associated with LQTS is almost always the result of a transient malignant arrhythmia, and sudden death is a frequent presentation of this disorder, usually the result of a torsade de pointes type of ventricular tachycardia. The arrhythmia may be precipitated by exercise, sudden loud noise or fright, and during anesthesia.5 Compelling evidence for prolonged QT interval playing a role in the sudden infant death syndrome has recently been presented.6
The LQTS should be considered a possibility in children with unexplained syncope, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden life-altering events, and, perhaps, nonfebrile seizures. In a prospective study of 350 congenitally deaf children, 2 (0.6%) were found to have significant prolongation of the QT interval.7
At least 5 genes have been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis of inherited LQTS. The genes involve chromosomes 11p15.5, 7q35-6, 3p21-24, 4q25-27, and 21.7 Four of these genes have been found to encode ion channel proteins, 3 involving potassium and 1 involving sodium. The cardiac ion channels play a key role in myocellular repolarization. The Romano-Ward syndrome occurs as a result of heterozygous mutations in these genes, while the Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome is thought to result from a homozygous mutation of one of the genes encoding a cardiac potassium channel.3,4
Once an individual is determined to have primary LQTS, a decision must be made as to possible treatment because of the risk of sudden death. Medical treatment is indicated in any patients with prolonged QT syndrome who develop syncope or have an aborted cardiac arrest, those with congenital deafness, or those who have a family history of sudden death at a young age.8 Three possible therapeutic options are available to prevent life-threatening arrhythmias: β-blocking agents, pacemakers, and left cervicothoracic sympathetic ganglionectomy.8 Propranolol hydrochloride is the first line of therapy.
Parents and children should receive instruction regarding triggering factors of arrhythmias and should also be taught basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Genetic counseling should be offered to all family members, even if they are asymptomatic. Screening electrocardiograms and hearing tests should be considered.

Wednesday, June 26, 2013
On June 18 Summerville Police responded to Germantown Field in response to a male and female arguing. On arrival, they noted a white Toyota Corolla parked in the bushes. When the driver saw police he attempted to drive away but was stuck in the mud.
Police instructed the driver multiple times to exit the vehicle but the driver and the female continued to argue.
Attempting to calm the situation, one officer took the female a distance away and asked her what had happened. She told the officer, in an "excited utterance," that her father had taken her cell phone, stabbed her in the leg with scissors and bit her on her shoulder.
She refused medical attention and did not wish to file a report.
While the juvenile female was speaking with the officer, the driver continued to be loud and punch the vehicle several times.
According to the father, his daughter jumped on the hood of the car, and refused to get off even though he had driven with her there across the road and into the bushes.
According to a witness, the daughter was standing in the open door of the car as it went across the road.
After hearing the juvenile daughter's story, and seeing evidence of her injuries, police attempted to place the father under arrest for 2nd degree Assault and Battery. However, the man resisted, resulting in the need for taser use in order to subdue the man. He was also charged with resisting arrest.
The father told police he was upset because his daughter had gone to get something to eat without his express permission. The daughter's mother is deceased and her father is her sole guardian. Police notified social services and released the daughter to the custody of a social worker who sought medical attention for the young woman. Ultimately, she was treated and released but received three stitches to the scissor wounds.

With one of the deepest rosters in the country, Mike Krzyzewski has many options for lineups he can use with this year's Duke basketball team.
Although the Blue Devils haven't relied on their depth as much as many fans were hoping leading up to the season, this year's squad still has the potential to create mismatches and opportunities because of the different lineup possibilities.
The following list looks at Duke's best situational lineups for the 2013-14 season.

"It was really to honor our father," Pat Schmidt said. "He was a 40-year Golden Gloves volunteer. He picked up the slips from the judges all those years, then he handed them to the referee, so the referee didn't have to do it. That was his big thing all those years -- kind of a showy thing."
When Bernie Schmidt died nearly two decades ago, he was buried in the same American Legion Furniture City Post 258 Navy uniform he wore when fulfilling his Golden Gloves duties.
The Schmidt Memorial celebrates its 10th anniversary at 6 p.m. Friday, at Boys and Girls Clubs of Grand Rapids, Youth Commonwealth Inc., 235 Straight Ave. NW.
It has created a unique place in the local amateur boxing market, as the city's only annual autumn event before the major winter and spring tournaments.
"It's really the only thing that our local guys can count on," Pat Schmidt said. "For years and years, Kenny Lane had a show in Muskegon every year that you could always count on. Then there got to be some years when he didn't have the energy to do a show and he would miss a year here and there.
"Benton Harbor does a show once a year. For 11 years, we did Tri County High School because Troy Rowland was a draw up there. But then, we started the Bernie Schmidt."

The event usually is conducted on Thanksgiving weekend and promoters around the state try to avoid competing with the event "because they know their kids love our show," Pat Schmidt said.
Part of that affinity comes because of the spaghetti dinner served after weigh-ins.
"We give away the best trophies," Pat Schmidt said, "and we feed the kids, and nobody does that."

Alvar Aalto (1898-1976), one of the founders of Artek, was born in Kuortane, Finland. Alvar Aalto is recognized today as one of the great masters of modern architecture. During his long and prolific career, Aalto's work embraced almost all key public institutions: town halls, theatres, churches, libraries and universities as well as standardized housing and private homes. Aalto's architecture is distinctively Finnish. It is marked by a warm humanity and strong individuality. His buildings derive their special aesthetic character from their dynamic relationship with their natural surroundings, their human scale, superbly executed details, unique treatment of materials and ingenious use of lighting. Like all great art, however, Aalto's architecture transcends national boundaries. His work is not the exclusive property of Finland: it forms a part of a common cultural heritage of European and worldwide significance.Read More

Discuss and debate new thinking with like-minded individuals in an informal and relaxed environment.
A Teesside University graduate has been involved with an innovative company, finding ways to reuse and recycle waste water – benefiting the environment and helping businesses save money.
Sam Appleyard, who was awarded a MSc Analytical Chemistry in November, has been applying his specialist knowledge and skills at Redcar-based CatalySystems in a project to develop analytical tools to use in the laboratory alongside the bench-scale reactor units.
The company uses a process called photocatalysis to destroy organic contaminants in waste water streams. It is a polishing process which can treat the water to a stage where it can be recycled and reused, rather than being disposed of. It has recently launched its N1200 series of water treatment systems for industrial applications.
Water recycling has huge environmental benefits in terms of providing an additional source of water, decreasing waste water and reducing and preventing pollution.
Sam, 22, from Coulby Newham, joined CatalySystems in June on a six month Knowledge Exchange Internship (KEI), a business service partly funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) which is unique to Teesside University.
Teesside University leads the way in delivering flexible knowledge transfer projects, bringing a business together with a graduate and a team of specialist experts who transfer their technical know-how, research and innovation to help achieve key business objectives.
As well as being beneficial for businesses, it provides graduates with a route into employment.
During his time at CatalySystems Sam developed standard methodologies for the analysis of waste streams treated in the company's bench-scale reactors, gaining vital technical laboratory expertise and project management experience.
He said: "The KEI scheme has been fantastic and really bridges the gap between education and experience. Employers are always looking for people with experience so this has been perfect for me.
"I have been responsible for managing the throughput of waste water samples within the laboratory, looking at ways to analyse certain compounds and the way they are treated.
"It has been a really enjoyable project and the KEI will definitely help me in the job market."
CatalySystems, founded three years ago, has attracted international interest for its industrial product range.
Neil Foster, Technical Director, said: "The products we are developing are environmentally friendly, energy efficient and also save companies money in terms of the disposal of water.
"We have only been based here since April and contacted Teesside University to see how we could work together.
"Having Sam on board has been excellent for the company – he's been extremely enthusiastic and has come up with some innovative ideas and processes. He has also been able to run the laboratory, giving me more time to focus on the design of our products and introduce these to market.
"The KEI scheme has really benefited myself, Sam and the company – I would recommend it and hopefully we can use it again in the future."
Laura Woods, the University's Director of Academic Enterprise, said: "A KEI is ideal for a company needing expert help with a short-term project, perhaps to introduce new technology or new working practices. As well as a full-time graduate on the staff, the company gets academic support to deliver its improvement programme."
Shirley O'Hare, Senior Lecturer in Forensic Chemistry at Teesside, acted as the academic support during Sam's KEI.
Sam added: "One of the reasons I chose to come to Teesside University was because of its reputation for working with businesses – it was definitely the right decision."

To say Canyon baseball's season has been frustrating is an understatement.
So the Cowboys did something about it Friday and now have something to build off for 2015.
One season removed from a Foothill League title and having not beaten a Foothill team other than last-place Golden Valley all year, the Cowboys defeated West Ranch 2-1 on Thursday at West Ranch High in the teams' regular season finale.
"It was very disappointing not playing to our potential. We'll look back at what ifs. But we did a good job today," said Canyon junior pitcher Daniel Buonauro.
Buonauro particularly did a good job.
The left-hander pitched a complete game, allowing four hits, two walks and one earned run, while striking out three.
He relied on a majority of off-speed pitches with the plan on busting Wildcats hitters in and then working away.
West Ranch could only muster a small-ball run in the fourth inning.
Jake Spurlin led off the inning with a bunt single and came around to score on a Sean O'Shea sacrifice fly.
Canyon scored both its runs in the top of the third inning off Wildcats starter Jake Bird.
Vincent Fitzgerald scored the first run on a West Ranch error, then Jason Rowe knocked in a run with a single.
Canyon scored just 14 runs against Foothill teams not named Golden Valley this season. On top of that, the defense was iffy. Both led to the Cowboys' downfall this year.
"I don't think we played with the most confidence (this season)," said Canyon head coach Adam Schulhofer. "Pitching, as a staff we did great. We were in position to win many more games than we did. It's tough when you don't have the other two parts of the game."
Canyon loses 15 seniors and nearly that entire offense, but it should have a pitching staff (Buonauro, Blake Leidholdt and Jacob Lopez) that will keep it competitive.
West Ranch, despite the loss, still has some life in the season.
Thanks to Hart beating Saugus on Thursday, the Wildcats finish as the No. 3 team in the Foothill League because of a series victory over the Centurions.
However, there could be a scenario where being the third-place team could force the Wildcats to play a wild-card game in an always deep CIF-Southern Section Division I.
Thursday's loss couldn't have helped.
"Win or lose, you like to play a better game to get some momentum going into the playoffs," said West Ranch head coach Casey Burrill.
The brackets come out on Monday.

and Hormone Replacement Therapy | PDF
By Beverly Vaughn, MD
Medical Coordinator, Menopause and You
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to be widely recommended for hot
flashes and other symptoms related to menopause. It was also believed to
help prevent and treat osteoporosis, and help prevent heart disease and
Alzheimer's disease. In July 2002, the first of a series of articles
from the National Institutes of Health's Women's Health Initiative (WHI)
blew all of our previously held beliefs out of the water. This has left
patients and health care providers wondering where to go from here.
Let's try to untangle the information by first looking at what the
benefits of hormone replacement were thought to be. Many tissues have
estrogen receptors, meaning that they are influenced by the presence of
estrogen. Estrogen may somehow help the brain regulate body temperature
and decrease hot flashes. It increases vaginal blood flow, improving
lubrication and keeping vaginal tissue from thinning. Estrogen was also
thought to decrease heart disease by dilating blood vessels in the heart
and stabilizing plaques (fatty deposits) in the coronary arteries. Bones
benefited from estrogen's enhancing calcium absorption from the GI
tract. The brain had increased blood flow and improved connections
between brain cells, which was hoped to limit the frequency of
Alzheimer's disease.
The WHI began in 1993 and studied over 100,000 women enrolled. These
women were between the ages of 50 and 79, from multiple ethnicities,
varied socioeconomic backgrounds, and from across the nation. They were
divided into three groups. One group took a daily estrogen and
progestin product, Prempro®, and a second took estrogen alone. This
second group enrolled women who had hysterectomies and therefore didn't
need progestin. The third group received a placebo.
In 2002 the estrogen/progestin portion of the study was stopped early
because findings showed more heart attacks, strokes, and breast cancer
than expected. The exact number of cases was small: seven more women in
10,000 had cardiac events, eight more in 10,000 had strokes, eight more
in 10,000 had pulmonary emboli (blood clots in the lung), and eight more
in 10,000 developed invasive breast cancers.
One portion of the WHI study evaluated estrogen/progestin effect on
memory. The WHI Memory Study (WHIMS) involved 4,000 women over 65
who were placed on estrogen/progestin, estrogen alone, or placebo. Out
of these women, 61 developed dementia. Forty of these women were on HRT,
and 21 on placebo. This translates to 45 out of 10,000 women a year who
might be expected to be diagnosed with dementia. The good news from the
WHI is that HRT did decrease the frequency of osteoporosis and colon
The other good news is that there is life after hormone replacement
therapy. First of all, HRT is still acceptable for younger menopausal
women with significant hot flashes. After five years, the need for
treatment should be re-evaluated. But there are also alternatives
for women who are coming off HRT or women who prefer not to use HRT. Hot
flashes can be improved by using nonmedical options such as soy, eaten
in its natural form (not as a supplement), and paced breathing. Paced
breathing is done by using your abdominal muscles to take deep breaths.
This will lower your inner body temperature and help diminish hot
flashes. Smoking, alcohol, hot or spicy food, and stress can all trigger
flashes. Avoiding them as much as possible is beneficial. We've
found that some herbs that have been used in the past don't actually
have much of an effect. These would include balm, chasteberry, dong
quai, evening primrose oil, licorice root, passion flower, sage, and
sarsaparilla. There is new data on black cohosh which shows it is
ineffective as well.
Non-hormonal medical therapies have met with some success. Clonidine®,
an antihypertensive, can be used as a low-dose weekly patch. Some
antidepressants, such as Paxil®, and medications that have been used for
seizures and chronic pain, like Neurontin®, can be very useful in some
None of these therapies addresses vaginal dryness, a common concern.
Using estrogen vaginally is different from taking it orally. Vaginal
estrogen comes in a variety of forms: cream, tablet, and a ring. It can
be used with or without a water-based lubricant. Some women have found
they are more comfortable when they use almond oil. Increasing foreplay
and having sex more frequently can also improve vaginal lubrication.
Estrogen and progestin therapy are no longer recommended to prevent
heart disease and Alzheimer's. A healthy lifestyle is more beneficial.
Low-fat diets with high fiber, exercise, no cigarette smoking, and
cholesterol-lowering medications are the direction heart health is
Even though good results were achieved for osteoporosis and colon
cancer, hormones are not now recommended as the first choice for
preventing these problems. Again, healthy lifestyle and medications
specifically for bone health are the current emphasis of treatment. A
low-fat, high-fiber diet is important in decreasing the risk of colon
It is unclear if every estrogen or the way in which you take estrogen
(pill, patch, gel or spray) will have the same effects as found in the
WHI study. Taking hormonal therapy in a route that is not by mouth may
have a lower risk of DVT (blood clots). Many questions still need to be
answered. There are many factors to consider in deciding the optimal
therapy to treat menopausal symptoms. Each patient needs to be evaluated
and decisions made on an individual basis.
You should speak to your health care provider to determine what is safe
and most effective for you.

LIVE in INDY -- It's a good Friday
By Colin Dunlap | 11:55 a.m. Friday
Made it to Lucas Oil Stadium for the coverage today.
Unless you have been here, you can't understand the vast expanse this building is.
12:08 p.m.: This is a blurry, albeit comical photo. As I was walking in, the Butler team was on their way into the building. As per policy, a security dog was milling through all their bags.
12:34 a.m.:
By the way, there was some dolt on the radio in Pittsburgh today
1:49 p.m.: Just watched some of the West Virginia practice.
Here are the guys just before they took the floor:
And then during practice, as his team was on the floor going through the usual Final Four dunk-contest-type-of-practice, Bob Huggins was engrossed in the ever important meeting with CBS' Jim Nantz.
In watching practice it is very clear -- Truck Bryant is nowhere near being ready to play. He could barely run and cut and move looks like he is still in a lot of pain.
2:36 p.m.: The Mountaineers just finished their media availability. As always, they were loose. Post-Gazette writer Paul Zeise had a pretty decent line, saying, "I feel like I'm back at the women's tournament with all the giggling." It is amazing how carefree this WVU team is, but it has worked for them.
3:22 p.m.: Coach K threw a counterpunch at the Indianapolis Star in his press conference.
Enjoy the transcript:
Q. It seems once again Duke is being cast as the hated team in the
Final Four. There was a photo illustration of you with the horns and
the target. Did you see that illustration? What do you make of being
cast as kind of the Devils of the Final Four?
COACH KRZYZEWSKI: I did see that. First thing, I thought, you know, That can't be. How could a newspaper do that? I thought somebody doodled. Actually, I thought I looked better.
But it was kind of juvenile. Not kind of, it was just juvenile. You know, my seven grandkids didn't enjoy looking at it. That's not Papi.
You know, it is what it is. It's very juvenile. We have great kids who go to school, they graduate. If we're going to be despised or hated by anybody because we go to school and we want to win, you know what, that's your problem. And you have a problem, because we're going to go to school and we're going to try to win. If you don't like it, keep drawing pictures, you know, just keep drawing pictures. Try to do them a little bit better than that, though.
3:45 p.m.: Dick Vitale just walked through the media room.
Next year at this time, there is a very good chance he will be preparing to call the Final Four action, as the safe money is that the tournament will move to ESPN.
4:45 p.m.: Here is the problem with the NCAA overcredentialing people who have no business having a credential:
1. Some guy was pointing his camera at me and snapping away -- in the media room.
2. He had on a Michigan State shirt.
I politely asked the man -- who claimed he was testing his camera or something -- to stop taking photos of me.
Back to the issue. If you are a real journalist, you know not to point your camera in the media room at people who are working. If you are a real journalist, you ask permission of people before you start snapping away at them in the media room. If you are a real journalist, while covering an event, you don't wear clothes with logos on them of any team, let alone a team participating in the event.
But the NCAA credentials everyone it seems --- the days of only journalists in the media room is long gone, I guess.
Also, I thought of this: There are 70,000-some seats in this place inside the arena, away from the media room, couldn't the tremendously-biased "journalist" have "tested" his camera on one of those subjects?
5:36 p.m.: Here is a copy of that aforementioned Indianapolis Star illustration that caused the Coach K flap:
7:23 p.m.: Post-Gazette photographer Matt Freed, also part of our coverage team here in Indy, sent a wonderful shot to me from practice of the Turk hammering one home.

Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management and Academic Support
The New Jersey Institute of Technology in New Jersey
|Date Posted
|August 11, 2014
Newark, New Jersey
Associate Vice President for Enrollment Management and Academic Support
New Jersey Institute of Technology, the public science and technology university of the state of New Jersey, seeks a highly accomplished and innovative associate vice president for enrollment management and academic support. This new position is designed to provide comprehensive oversight and strategic direction to the areas of admission, financial aid, registration and academic support services and resources.
The Associate Vice President will report to Charles J. Fey, Ed.D., Vice President for Academic Support and Student Affairs who joined NJIT in 2012.
The associate vice president is responsible for leading enrollment initiatives (including student retention) and for the implementation of the University's Strategic Enrollment Management Plan 2015-2020. As part of Vice President Fey's senior leadership team, the successful candidate will play a major role in implementing a comprehensive strategy for student success from pre-enrollment through graduation. A team of senior faculty and administrators recently completed phase one of the strategic plan which outlines the Institute's approach to enrollment for 2015-2020, the details of which will be made available to finalists for the position. The associate vice president oversees a full-time staff of 120.
The new associate vice president will bring proven success in leading an ambitious enrollment program with vision, energy, and strong managerial and entrepreneurial acumen, and the personal qualities to support the development of a high-quality, evidence-based enrollment program for a global university. Specific success in growing an international recruitment program is a critical skill that the successful candidate will bring to the campus and to the success of the strategic enrollment plan.
The AVP will have experience in student support areas, and will bring together the team charged with the delivery and assessment of all aspects of advising, academic support services, and the Institute's EOP and Pre-College programs. The AVP will lead the staffs responsible for learning assistance, first-year programs, and for a growing program of learning communities. The AVP will consult freely with faculty and recognize the important role of faculty engagement in the admission process. For a talented, strategic, and analytically sophisticated professional, this is a transformational position in which he or she will be centrally involved in the next phase of development for the Institute. NJIT expects that the AVP will create new links and partnerships with the enrollment and academic support functions and provide leadership for consistent institutional success in envisioning, planning for, recruiting, admitting, and graduating an increasingly talented and diverse student body.
The associate vice president should have an appropriate advanced degree (doctorate preferred); a minimum of 10 years of progressively responsible experience; the ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively; exceptional analytic strength; strong administrative, financial management/budgeting, planning, and problem-solving skills; working knowledge of current academic and enrollment issues globally and nationally; experience in a culturally rich environment; and a strong commitment to working closely with faculty in providing excellent service to multiple and diverse constituents.
Inquiries, nominations and applications are invited. Review of applications will begin in mid-September and will continue until the position is filled. For fullest consideration, applicant materials should be received by September 10, 2014. Candidates should provide curriculum vitae, a letter of application that addresses the responsibilities and requirements described in the Leadership Statement, and the names and contact information of five references. References will not be contacted without prior knowledge and approval of candidates. These materials should be sent electronically via e-mail to the New Jersey Institute of Technology consultant Sheila Murphy at email@example.com. The consultant can be reached by telephone through Becky Espinoza at 630-575-6134.
The New Jersey Institute of Technology values diversity and is committed to equal opportunity for all persons regardless of age, color, disability, ethnicity, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status or any other status protected by law.

Modern Family is apparently a dud in syndication, and no one is laughing harder than Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX ) .
It seems that consumer appetite for the show's reruns isn't as strong as Comcast's (NASDAQ: CMCSA ) USA Network -- the eventual winner of the comedy's syndication rights -- was expecting. It's been airing the show as many as five nights a week since the fall season began, and the early Nielsen ratings aren't encouraging. USA's audience is 40% lower than it was a year earlier when it was running NCIS and Law & Order: SVU reruns during the same slot.
Digital distribution was front and center in the bidding war for the popular comedy's syndication rights two years ago. Time Warner's (NYSE: TWX ) Turner Broadcasting vocally dropped out of contention, arguing that the show was too exposed in cyberspace. Hulu and Disney's (NYSE: DIS ) ABC.com -- but not Netflix -- were streaming earlier episodes. News Corp. (NASDAQ: NWSA ) COO Chase Carey backed Time Warner's move to pass on the sitcom that had become huge for Disney's ABC.
"A channel's right to say: If I'm going to pay a lot of money for Modern Family I want to buy enough rights so that it's not showing up on a competing platform," Carey said two years ago. "I would not be buying syndication rights to an expensive piece of programming and let it reside on Netflix for 20 million homes."
Carey wasn't knocking the show itself. News Corp. was the show's producer. He was lamenting the growing popularity of streaming earlier seasons of hit shows. Why would someone want to pay up for syndication of earlier episodes when they are readily available -- often without commercials -- through streaming services? This probably played a major factor in keeping Modern Family off of Netflix. It didn't pay off.
A lot has changed in two years. For starters, Netflix is no longer reaching 20 million homes. It has twice as many subscribers worldwide, with more than 31 million of those as domestic streaming accounts. Netflix has also resulted in ratings increases for shows still on the air -- not decreases -- as we've seen with Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Syndication is an entirely different animal, but it needs to be pointed out that several earlier seasons of Law & Order: SVU -- the show that held up better than Modern Family for USA Network last year -- are streaming on Netflix.
Studios and cable networks better learn -- sooner or later -- that Netflix is more a solution than a problem.

The Buffalo Bills were relatively quiet in free agency, but they still managed to address several of their needs. Now, with six pick in the 2014 NFL draft, the Bills have a chance to fill their remaining holes and round out the depth chart.
The Bills spent most of their time and resources to add linebackers this offseason. Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller make a formidable one-two punch, but Jackson is set to hit free agency in 2015 and Spiller in 2016. They have plenty of wide receivers, but they could also use a tight end to upgrade the passing game over the middle.
Let's take a shot at a mock draft for the Bills with help from FanSpeak's mock draft simulator, which allows users to pick a team to represent as a computer fills in the blanks.

Natascha Smith was listed as #3 and was arrested at the property management company she was working for while residing in Atlantic City, according to members of the Gloucester County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit.
She had been wanted since June 3, 2011, when she failed to appear in front of Judge Walter L. Marshall Jr. for a violation of probation hearing.
Smith has several outstanding warrants from different agencies and is currently in Gloucester County Jail pending court proceedings.
Also, on Feb. 7, Perry County, Pennsylvania sheriff's deputies, acting on information given to them by Gloucester County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Unit members, arrested Michael Walls, #4 on the Sheriff's Most Wanted List.
Walls was wanted on a warrant from Gloucester County Superior Court. He has been a fugitive since he failed to show for a violation of probation hearing in front of Judge Christine Allen-Jackson on July 2, 2012. He is currently in Perry County Jail awaiting extradition to New Jersey.
This brings the total to 71 fugitives that have been apprehended from the Sheriff's Department 10 Most Wanted List since its inception in January 2010, and the seventh in the last three weeks, the county announced.
The Sheriff's Most Wanted List can be found at: http://www.co.gloucester.nj.us/depts/s/Sheriff/mostwanted/default.asp
If you know the whereabouts or have any information of someone on the list, call Chief Ken Villanova at 856-384-4625. All calls are kept confidential.

Recording music is a tricky business. It's often not enough to simply place a microphone in front of a singer or musician and expect that what's recorded is going to sound amazing. Similarly when mixing the final track, without some reverb to give the recording some "space" it is going to sound like every instrument is inches from the listener's ear. Compression, reverb, equalizers and vocal processers are all studio tools that will enhance your recordings and help give them a more professional sound. Whether you are looking for the Abbey Road sound of Chandler Limited Microphone Preamps or Universal Audio Compressors we have what you are looking for. As with everything we sell, all our Signal Processors are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping applies to all orders except heavy items.

by William F. Buckley Jr.
Blackford Oakes, Buckley's heroic fictional CIA agent, has caught the fancy of President Kennedy. Following the Bay of Pigs, he is sent to Havana to see if there isn't some way of preventing Castro from further aligning Cuba with the Soviets. Oakes' name for the job is John Caiman; the code name is Alligator; so when Che Guevara says after their first meeting, "Hasta luego, Caiman," this book gets its cutesy title. Like other Buckley spy novels (this is No. 6), this one mixes fiction with political ideology, real historical events and notables in high places. There is a sexy translator for Oakes to have an affair with and an interesting ex-KGB sidekick. The novel is livelier than last year's The Story of Henri Tod, but Buckley still lapses into sentences not unlike those that roll so fulsomely off his tongue on TV. For instance: "They focused now on the need to snatch his own life from the rotting carcass of the political world he had inherited, and to breathe deeply the free air of the West, resisting the impulse so to involve himself in the mixed motives of mankind as to develop chronic melancholia." Translation, anyone? (Doubleday, $16.95)

Closers? lets talk teams; the Colorado Rockies lead the Major League in "Blown Saves" with 16, and counting, the Toronto BlueJays's bullpen have given up a league leading 41 HR, 34 have come from their 'closer' in the 9th inning-"
I am pretty sure you need to put the glue bottle away. 34 homers in the 9th inning? Give your head a shake, and put the solvent rag back in your pocket. Casey Jannsen is their new closer, and he has given up 1 long ball since he was named the closer, and 13 for 13 in save situations since he was named the teams closer. Before you start pulling numbers out of your ass, check some actual facts first.

Maui police responded to reports of disorderly conduct in Lahaina and Paia on Halloween night.
Capt. Wallace Tom, commander of the Lahaina Patrol District, said police made five arrests in four incidents in Lahaina.
Those arrested were:
* A 35-year-old man with no local address, arrested for drinking in a historic district.
* A 32-year-old woman from Vancouver, British Columbia, and a 33-year-old man from San Jose, Calif., both arrested for third-degree promotion of a detrimental drug (marijuana).
* A 31-year-old Waihee man, arrested for third-degree promotion of a detrimental drug (marijuana).
* A 33-year-old man, with no local address, arrested for disorderly conduct when he was found intoxicated and had a confrontation with police.
Nevertheless, "it was orderly," Tom said Monday afternoon, adding that things ran "very smoothly."
"We didn't encounter any major fights out on Front Street," he said.
Tom said the arrests were made between 7:45 p.m. Sunday and 1:30 a.m. Monday by the Maui Police Crime Reduction Unit headed by Sgt. Jerald Perkett. Lahaina Specialized Unit officer Lawrence Kauha'aha'a headed the other police efforts on Front Street.
In Paia town, there were three reports of disorderly conduct between 10 p.m. Sunday and 1:30 a.m. Monday, said Lt. Wayne Ibarra. One person was arrested on a warrant.
One disorderly conduct case was near Flatbread Co. where 10 to 15 people were reportedly in a fight. But when police showed up, the crowd dispersed, Ibarra said.
Another disorderly conduct case occurred near Charley's Restaurant where there were at least two people in a fight. Again, the people fled when police arrived, Ibarra said.
The third incident was near 22 Baldwin Ave. involving five people. No one was arrested, Ibarra said.

To the Editor:—
A number of recent communications in The Journal regarding free physicians' samples prompts me to submit to you the following observations: In the six month period just ended, I have received through the United States mail, both at my home and at my office, advertising literature and generous samples of a wide variety of products comprising 47 packages, weighing in total 6.9 pounds, and 357 pieces of letter mail, weighing in total 22.3 pounds. Estimated on a yearly basis, the cost of postage for this amount of material (58.4 pounds total per annum) would come close to $20. Multiply these figures by the total number of registered physicians receiving such consignments, add to it innumerable duplications, incorrect or obsolete addresses and forwardings, and the total burden on the United States mails mounts to a staggering figure, both in man-hours and in dollars.

Some of the cold air that kept Alaska in the deep freeze in recent weeks is pushing into Georgia. This will cause temperatures to fall lower than at any time so far this winter season. Temperatures will be falling well below freezing Thursday night (teens and 20s anticipated across north and central Georgia), and will probably fail to climb above 32 degrees during the day Friday in areas located north of a Carrollton to Atlanta to Athens line. Friday night will be even colder with the mercury dipping into the teens or lower over most of north and central Georgia. Single digits are possible in the normally colder areas.
Wind will make it feel even colder. Wind chill values will be within a few degrees of zero Thursday night and Friday in north Georgia. Want to calculate your wind chill?
Pet owners, and property owners with exposed water pipes should take precautions. Dress warmly in layers when outdoors.
Although temperatures will be below normal, the air does not look cold enough to break records.
Cold weather safety and preparedness tips from the American Red Cross.

Regulators are accusing a beauty school in eastern Iowa of engaging in unsanitary practices.
The Iowa Board of Cosmetology Arts and Sciences filed 10 charges Thursday against La'James International College in Iowa City.
The board's charges say the school failed to disinfect instruments and other equipment, and it didn't provide proper oversight of its students.
The board says an inspector found the violations during a visit in June 2012.
A message left at the school wasn't immediately returned Thursday. It has 20 days to respond to the charges.

Campus Campaign is OCU's annual employee fundraising appeal. For information on making a gift, contact Carrie Sauer at 405-208-5873 or firstname.lastname@example.com
View photos from the 2016 Campaign!
Campus Campaign Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I give?
In addition to your daily contributions of energy and effort, a financial contribution is a different and important way to demonstrate your investment in Oklahoma City University and its students.
As faculty and staff members, we have the privilege of working closely with our Stars. Campus Campaign allows us the opportunity to show that we believe in our students' potential. As you may know, OCU does not receive government support and tuition does not cover the entire cost to educate a student. Private gifts help make up the difference.
A high faculty/staff giving percentage is an endorsement by employees that the university is a worthy place to work for and deserving of their financial investment. It is a valuable signal to other potential donors. Faculty and staff participation also plays a role in rankings and the university's overall reputation. In the Spring 2016 campaign, 68% of full-time OCU employees made a gift to Campus Campaign! This is a figure that our university can really brag about.
Plus, when you make a gift to Campus Campaign you "Make Starsky Smile" and have the opportunity to send Ram-a-grams!
Who is Starsky?
Starsky the Ram is the official mascot of the Oklahoma City University Stars. He was introduced at Homecoming 2009. The cornerstone for Epworth University, the precursor to OCU, was laid on April 1, 1903. The astrological sign for that date is Aries the ram. The ram is a symbol of leadership, strength and competition.
Watch Starsky explore the campus here!
What's a Ram-a-gram?
A Ram-a-gram is a certificate of appreciation that you can send to another OCU employee on campus. It features a smiling Starsky with a chocolate gift.
So, for example, if you pledge to give $10 monthly through payroll deduction (a total of $120), you'll receive five Ram-a-grams that you can send to the faculty and staff you choose. You can send them through campus mail or ask your department's Campus Campaign Ambassador to help you deliver them. Some Ram-a-grams will be delivered by Starsky himself! Watch your email for details.
Can I give to something specific?
Yes! You can designate to hundreds of areas on campus, including departments, schools, scholarships, and athletic programs. Unrestricted gifts to the OCU Fund are used wherever the need is greatest on campus. Please contact Susan Juedeman in University Advancement at 405-208-5402 if you need help finding the exact name of a particular fund. 100% of your gift will go to the fund you choose to support.
What are my payment options?
These forms are securely encrypted to keep your information safe.
Download this pdf if you would like to hand-deliver your pledge to your Campus Campaign Ambassador or the Office of University Advancement. The paper form can be used for these gift types:
Please contact Carrie Sauer at 405-208-5873 to discuss any of the following donation options:
How does payroll deduction work?
Payroll deduction for 2016 Campus Campaign pledges will begin with the new fiscal year in July 2016. You might be currently paying on your pledge for last year, but that does not count as participating in this year's campaign. We hope you will make a new pledge for the upcoming year. Many OCU employees choose to give continuously so their pledge is automatically renewed each year.
The time period of your pledge is up to you. For example, imagine that you are paid bi-weekly and want to make a gift of $120. You could give $5 per pay period for one year, or $10 per pay period for 6 months, or $60 per pay period for one month, etc.
*Please note that even in months that have three bi-weekly pay periods, your gift will only be deducted twice.*
You can update or stop your payroll deductions at any time by contacting Carrie Sauer.
My spouse/partner works for a company that matches gifts. How do I submit the paperwork?
Matching gifts can double or even triple your gift! Ask your spouse or partner to request a form from his/her Human Resources department and send it to OCU's Office of University Advancement. We'll take it from there!
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. OCU is recognized as a nonprofit organization under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. You will receive a receipt for tax purposes. Donors who contribute by check, cash, or credit card will receive a receipt within a few business days. Donors who contribute by payroll deduction will receive one receipt for all of 2016 by the end of January 2017.
Is my gift confidential?
Your participation is shared with volunteer Campus Campaign Ambassadors so that we can celebrate when your department reaches 100% participation. However, we do not provide information about the amount or designation of your gift.
What difference could a small gift make?
Each gift—no matter how big or how small—is important because it increases our participation rate. Whatever amount, your gift shows that you believe in the fund you have chosen to support. There are many funds that receive a large number of "small" gifts and those really add up!
How long will this campaign run?
Please submit your gift or pledge by Friday, April 15 so you can be counted as a 2016 Campus Campaign participant. The focus of the campaign is in March and April so that we can count your gift before the university community gets busy with finals and summer break. Payroll deduction will begin with the new fiscal year in July 2016. You are welcome to make a gift to OCU at any time.
Who can I speak with about my questions?
Most departments and schools have identified a Campus Campaign Ambassador to be your point of contact. You are also welcome to contact Carrie Sauer, Assistant Director of Annual Giving, at 405-208-5873 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

In the middle of the day I was soooo hungry, don't know why, killed it with a fried egg + tomato.

VINELAND -- A city teenager was airlifted in a medical evacuation helicopter early Monday after she was involved in two-car accident at the intersection of West Avenue and Garden Road.
Tanisha L. Hernandez, 17, of Elty Avenue, was flown to Cooper University Hospital, in Camden, as a precaution following the accident, according to Sgt. William Dare of the Vineland police.
Her condition was not available Monday afternoon.
The driver of the second vehicle, Laymon E. Wright, 58, of Sunrise Avenue, was not injured, according to Dare.
Police were still investigating the accident Monday afternoon, and a report detailing the incident had not yet been filed.
Charges are pending the completion of the investigation.
Dare did say the city's rescue squad responded to the 7 a.m. accident when authorities were unable to get Hernandez out of her vehicle because the driver's door was jammed.

Webkinz - Fun Websites for Kids
Webkinz is a fun website for kids that was launched in April 2005 by Canadian plush animal company Ganz. The website is aimed at children from age 6 to 12. The foundation of the site is the member's ability to adopt and take care of a virtual pet. The pets are either cute and cuddly non-threatening animated animals or obscure-looking animated hybrid animals - in either case, they look similar to what children would see in a stuffed toy department of a toy store.

Nobody can make a John Sayles movie like John Sayles, and if you dig large side dishes of multicultural sermonizing and overproud anti-formula with your literate-indie veggie burger, you're likely to be a repeat customer. But Sayles's grip on visual storytelling has always been wobbly, his preachiness can be stultifying, and in strenuously bypassing some clichés, he often backs into others. Homily-free and unpretentious, Limbo bears its Saylesian dharma lightly, focusing for the first hour on a few worn-out, middle-aged nobodies with no axes, just burdens, and the small Alaskan fishing community around them. Then the script goes off-road in a way that could redefine "left field." Just like life, Sayles might say, but Limbo feels by turns spontaneously original and blandly calculated.
You can't help but side with Sayles on principlethe movie dispenses with "arc," defiantly lollygagging around with Joe and Donna (David Straithairn and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), a brooding ex-fisherman and bar singer, respectively, who start a tentative romance despite his haunted past (accidental fishing deaths) and her unhappy, self-mutilating teenage daughter Noelle (Vanessa Martinez). The rhythms of chitchat are beautifully realized, and Sayles carefully carves out a convincing reality in the town gin mill, a locus of tale-spinning seen in a montage of conversational fragments. It's a sweet strategy: we've spent so much downtime with the movie's people that when the plot proper kicks inJoe's huckster brother (Casey Siemaszko) sets up a shady deal and gets Joe, Donna, and Noelle stranded on an isolated, sub-Arctic islandwe're more aware of what's at stake for them than we're used to.
Limbo is assembled with such high intentions and respect it's a shame it never coalesces dramatically, or lets the characters do anything surprising. Like many Sayles movies, this one has a way of staying on the page. Still, in the current field, it might be the only studio film made for adultsLucas-resistant codgers, this Bud's for you.

Tel Aviv, Israel, December 6, 2012 – Visualead, (www.visualead.com) a pioneer of embedded visual QR Code technology, announced today that advertisements using their Visual QR Code Generator were proven more effective than regular QR codes by receiving over 33 percent more consumer scans. The QR codes were used in identical advertisements under the same conditions in a national Israeli newspaper.
QR codes are normally known to be somewhat obtrusive black and white squares that are lacking in value; however, a recent study showed that 94 percent of smartphone owners recognize QR codes and 76 percent of the consumers scanned QR codes while shopping. The James Richardson duty free shop ran identical advertisement campaigns in Israel's largest newspaper, Yediot Aharonot, over a period of four weekends, two with a regular black and white QR code and two with a visual QR code generated from www.visualead.com. The results showed that the ad using the Visual QR Code Generator was scanned 33.4 percent more than the regular QR code. This demonstrates the value of Visual QR Codes and the effect a seamlessly embedded QR codes has on consumer engagement.
"People are visual in nature and will generally respond more to creative uses of technology," said Nevo Alva, CEO and co-founder of Visualead. "This campaign demonstrates that our Visual QR Codes deliver significantly better results and add meaning to QR codes in advertisements. Our product allows users to create a unique call-to-action that adds clear value proposition to an advertisement while ensuring the integrity of the QR code in scanning."
The technology behind the Visualead's Visual QR Codes is a unique patent pending image processing Visual QR Code Generator developed by Visualead's image processing and algorithms experts. The platform enables users to merge a QR Code onto an image while maintaining a fully operational QR Code. Visualead technology doesn't abuse any of the error correction cells in order to improve the aesthetics of the QR Code.
For more information about Visualead, please see www.visualead.com
About Visualead
Visualead was founded in January 2012 to provide marketers, advertisers, and designers with a useful tool to enhance customer brand engagement. Visualead turns regular QR Codes into Visual QR Codes that can be instantly and seamlessly placed anywhere on an image. Since the launch of the Visual QR Code Generator, Visualead users created more than 33,000 Visual QR Codes that have been scanned over 340,000 times.

Chocolate Pudding in Mini Pastry Shells
- 2-1/4 cups whole milk, divided
- 1/2 cup sugar, divided
- Pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 large egg yolks
- 5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Store-bought mini pastry shells
- Lightly whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped pistachios with a pinch of salt (or ground chili flakes or whole almonds or pecans)
InstructionsIn a medium-size saucepan over high heat, combine 2 cups milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and salt; bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Remove from heat.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk together cornstarch, unsweetened cocoa powder, and remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Add remaining 1/4 cup milk and whisk until smooth.
Whisk this mixture into the hot milk in the saucepan and bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking constantly. Reduce heat to moderately low and simmer, whisking constantly, until pudding is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 2 minutes.
In a medium-size bowl, whisk whole egg with egg yolks. Gradually whisk about 1 cup of hot cocoa pudding into eggs until thoroughly incorporated; then scrape pudding back into saucepan. Cook pudding over moderate heat, whisking constantly, until it just comes to aa boil, about 2 minutes.
Strain pudding into a medium-size heatproof bowl. Add chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla; whisk until chocolate and butter are melted and incorporated and pudding is smooth, about 2 minutes.
Transfer to a bowl or to six 6-ounce ramekins. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pudding and refrigerate until chilled.
To serve, place in a pastry bag and portion into pastry shells. Top with whipped cream; garnish with ground pistachios, chili flakes, or whole nuts, or make a mixed platter of all three.

JERUSALEM - Conservative rabbis attending a Rabbinical Assembly conference here had a run-in with police Tuesday during a vigil at the Western Wall.
During a silent vigil, one of the rabbis held up a banner reading, "The Wall Belongs to Us All."
According to Rabbi Ehud Bandel, director of the Masorti/Conservative movement in Israel, "the police tore up the banner and turned it into a controversy. One of our rabbis was questioned and detained for several minutes, then released."
The rabbis held the vigil to protest the government's decision, now being implemented, to expand the Orthodox prayer section in front of the Western Wall. Men and women must pray separately in this area.
The Conservative movement encourages men and women to pray together and permits members of both sexes to become members of the clergy.
Following years of friction between Conservative and Orthodox Jews, who are offended by the sight of joint prayer and women wearing prayer shawls, the Conservative movement agreed to conduct its prayer services at Robinson's Arch, outside the Western Wall plaza.
In return, they expected the Western Wall plaza to adhere to the religious status quo whereby the large section behind the separate prayer areas would continue to be a meeting place for tourists and visitors, but not a place for prayer of any kind.
Bandel told RNS the visit to the plaza was to have been a dignified way to show Conservative colleagues the tractors working on the site and how the public area has been reduced.
Bandel said the vigil "was not meant to be a provocation. We intentionally did not walk to the plaza from Robinson's Arch wearing our tallit (prayer shawls) and tefillin. We knew the sight of women wearing these things would provoke, and we did not want there to be violence, God forbid."
The expansion of the Orthodox section, Bandel charged, "is a unilateral change of the customs of the Wall and should not be permitted."
