The bewildering Minitopz PC from Artopz
We've seen some weird and wacky PC designs in our time, but few are as surreal as the Minitopz range from US firm Artopz Technology. The fusion of art and computing is entirely a subjective one, so we won't cast too many opinions on the actual design, but what is intriguing here is that the Minitopz range has chosen the humble desk lamp as the subject of its hybrid.
It actually is a desk lamp as well, combining optic light panels to create an ambient effect that's tied to the active state of the computer inside, as well as being able to operate independently.
Funky design or no, the 'PC' part is obviously of great importance, and luckily Artopz has realized this and its range is relatively well specced for a mini-PC style design. An Intel Atom N330 1.6GHz dual-core processor sits at its heart, along with a 128GB solid state drive for the operating system and a separate 500GB hard drive for data. The GeForce 9400M graphics means 1080p playback, Blu-ray and DirectX10 support all come as standard. There's 4GB of DDR2 memory and a range of connectivity that includes HDMI, six USB2.0 ports, VGA, an RJ45 LAN connection and stereo audio out.
As you can see from the images above, all of this connectivity is tucked around the back of the polished aluminum base, and a slot at the side offers access to a multi DVD burner.
Three designs include the Lavaz (US$2450), finished in black stone with ruby-red lights, the Romanz (US$2375), which is made with brushed bronze, and the limited edition Deluxz (US$3450), which comes with leather front covers, a clear or black aluminum stand and white accent lights.
Since each unit is built to order, there's a wait of between four and seven weeks if you're thinking of a purchase. All machines are supplied with a two year parts and labor warranty. Check out the official site for more information.

Thanks for having those links in your sig, especially the one on vitamin D. I was tested a few months ago and the results came back that I'm moderately deficient. Surprisingly, my doctor wasn't worried about it and just said to keep on taking my multivitamin. I bought a bottle of D3 anyway and take 2,000 IUs most days. After reading the info on your link, I'm glad I didn't listen to my doc.

(some of) the world watched the Large Hadron Collider power up,
fault, power up again and ultimately
land its first 7 TeV collisions, others may have gripped their
armchairs tightly, waiting for the planet-destroying black hole that
some claim the LHC is capable of creating. As one might be inclined
to notice, the Earth has made it through the ordeal just
fine.However, whether these doomsday black hole concerns are
credible or not, a pair of scientists from Princeton University and
the University of British Columbia at Vancouver have been delving
into the relativistic physics calculations just to see what might
really happen. Matthew Choptuik from UBCV and Frans Pretorius from
Princeton have done the grunt work to solve field equations related
to soliton collisions at specific energies."Our
calculation produced results that most were expecting, but no one had
done the calculation before. People were just sort of assuming that
it would work out. Now that these simulations have been done, some
scientists will have a better idea of what to look for in terms of
trying to see if black holes are formed in LHC collisions,"
explained Choptuik.Based on string theory and its extra
dimensions, Choptuik and Pretorious concluded that high-energy
collisions at the LHC could
indeed form black holes -- but the chances of them
destroying the world are pale even in comparison to the chance that
they would actually be detected by LHC equipment while they
exist.Of the events, Choptuik says, "Some are already
taking this very seriously. However, I don't think that we are
likely to actually see any black holes at the LHC, even if it is
possible."Rather than directly observing such a
formation, he explains that to confirm the existence of the fleeting
matter-energy magnet, LHC scientists will have to study the debris
from the collision rather than the particles that instantaneously
exist and then disappear. A typical collision would leave jets of
debris while the short-lived black hole would produce a more
spherical pattern.The duo's findings have been published in
the journal Physical
Review Letters,
titled "Ultrarelativistic Particle Collisions."
quote: As the gas slowly spirals through the accretion disk towards the black hole, it releases a large amount of energy
quote: This phenomenon makes it impossible to determine, as you so surely state, weather or not a Black Hole grows or even what happens inside of it. Or even if there IS an "inside" as we would perceive
quote: Light is made up of particles, which cannot escape black holes. Massive bursts of x-ray and other forms of radiation can and DO escape, which is why we can observe this happen.
quote: Unfortunately, the amount of this radiation to be released is so small, it has never been observed from a black hole in deep space. Again, lie lie LIE.

Valero Energy Corporation has announced a $1.4 billion expansion of its St. Charles Parish refinery that will create 49,000 barrels of diesel fuel and 11,000 barrels of gasoline per day.
The project will create between 30 and 50 permanent jobs and between 1,500 and 2,000 construction jobs during construction.
The project, which includes a new hydrocracker for the production of ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel and the expansion of a coker, is expected to be complete by 2010, according to company spokesman Bill Day and plant spokesman Ron Guillory.

If you or someone you know is considering adopting a hippopotamus, you should probably ponder Tony and Elsa Joubert's experience with Jessica, who has been part of their household for three years.
The first thing to remember: Adorable baby hippos like Jessica, who washed up on a riverbank on the Jouberts' 1,000-acre farm in South Africa, grow. A lot. Jessica weighs 3,200 lbs.; barring a sudden fondness for Slim-Fast, she could top out at about 10,000 lbs. And although she's now confined to the porch, Jessica used to have the run of the house, sleeping on the Jouberts' bed—and watching TV—as a baby. "You should see what my house looks like," says Elsa, 48. "I've got no furniture left."
Not only that, says Tony, 56, a former game warden: "Jessica doesn't have good toilet manners; she makes a mess everywhere. When she eats onions, her burps are horrendous."
"And," says Elsa, with a grimace, "my hands and clothes are always sticky from her drooling saliva."
So what do the Jouberts, with three grown children from earlier marriages, get out of their large live-in? "When I ask her for a kiss," says Tony, "she puts her head up. She wags her tail when she is happy." Elsa, who prepares the five daily bottles (coffee: sweet, no milk) that supplement Jessica's grazing, is starting to weary of Jessica—and of Tony's fascination with her. "When Jessica gets bigger," she says, "my husband is going to have to live outside with her."

I saw him in Omaha a number of years ago. He was here at the dome, but I just don't have money for that sort of thing any more. If you'd have paid for the tickets, I'd have gladly gone with you.

Volume 24 Issue 34
|Sherman Young
March 22, 2013
A member of what many consider to be the United States greatest generation (the World War II era) celebrated his birthday with friends and family at Raleys in Rohnert Park on Sept. 17.
Sherman Young, a World War II hero, rung in his 91st birthday with a group of men, mostly in their 80s, and some who also are WWII veterans. Young, who moved to Rohnert Park from the East Bay eight years ago, and his group are regulars for coffee at Raleys every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Young was a captain in the Army Air Corps from 1939 to -1944 and flew more than 50 missions over Germany while stationed in Italy. Twice, Young was forced to bail out of his airplane.
After an honorable discharge, the Berkeley native managed a poultry house in Oakland.
Young has been married to his current wife, Dianne Kalina, for 11 years. He was married to his first wife, Alice, for 53 years before she passed away. He also leaves behind a daughter who lives in Berkeley.

Quality and safety measures
Voluntary public reporting initiatives
UC Davis Medical Center voluntarily participates in a number of public reporting initiatives and efforts that focus on quality of care and patient safety. Some select highlights:
UC Davis Medical Center was one of 98 hospitals nationwide to receive a 2015 Top Hospital designation from The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit coalition of large U.S. employers and health-care purchasers. The annual designation is widely acknowledged as one of the most competitive awards a U.S. hospital can receive.
Selection is based on The Leapfrog Group's annual hospital survey, which focuses on three critical areas of hospital care: how patients fare, resource use and management structures established to prevent errors. Performance across many areas is considered, including survival rates for high-risk procedures and a hospital's ability to prevent medication errors.
Leapfrog also issues hospital safety scores that grade overall success in keeping patients safe from infections, injuries and errors. On a scale of "A" to "F," UC Davis Medical Center received an "A" rating in Leapfrog's spring 2016 score update. The hospital also received the top grade for the last five reporting periods.
The evaluation ranks hospitals nationwide on the likelihood that its patients will be free from preventable harm during their inpatient stays. Grades are based on an analysis of hospital patient-safety outcomes, such as rates of inpatient injuries, infections and medical errors, and efforts toward improvement. The score is updated every October and April.
UC Davis Medical Center meets or exceeds national norms in a number of quality-control measures tracked by the Hospital Quality Alliance or HQA, a national public-private collaboration to improve health care.
In data related to 10 key areas — including heart attacks, heart failure, stroke, pneumonia, blood clots, surgery, emergency department care, preventive care, pregnancy/delivery and child asthma — that appeared on the federal Hospital Compare website as of April 2016, UC Davis matched or exceeded both state and national hospitals in 19 of 39 "timely and effective care" measures, including several related to blood clot prevention and treatment and timely stroke care, and the measure related to pregnancy and delivery care. In six of the measures, results were not available or the hospital had too few patients or cases to report. The Hospital Compare website contains data on a wide range of additional quality and safety measures.
The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems initiative or HCAHPS measures patients' perspectives on hospital care. In results that appeared on the Hospital Compare website as of April 2016, UC Davis Medical Center matched or exceeded state averages in 7 of 11 categories: whether nurses always communicated well, whether doctors always communicated well, whether staff always explained about medicines before administering, whether patients were given information about what to do during recovery at home, whether patients strongly agreed they understood their care when they left the hospital, whether patients gave their hospital a rating of 9 or 10 on a scale of 0 (lowest) to 10 (highest), and whether they would recommend the hospital to others.
The medical center met or exceeded both state and federal averages in three of 11 categories: whether patients were given information about what to do during their recovery at home; whether patients strongly agreed they understood their care when they left the hospital; and whether they would recommend the hospital to others. Seventy-five percent of UC Davis patients said they would recommend the hospital. This information is also available on the Hospital Compare website.
UC Davis Medical Center also participates in CalQualityCare (previously CalHospitalCompare), a statewide rating system operated by the California Healthcare Foundation. This website repeats the measures from HospitalCompare and incorporates other measures. In data available on the website as of April 2016, the medical center achieved ratings of average or better on 54 of 67 ratings categories compared to state averages. In approximately 10 of the areas, the hospital was not rated or rankings were not provided. The website includes case volume ratings for high-risk procedures as well.
Our commitment to quality and safety
Our UC Davis Medical Center makes a special commitment to provide safe, high-quality care for all patients. Our professional staff are at the core of our rigorous dedication to quality, and are critical to ensuring the safe care and satisfaction of our patients.
Our staff routinely earn recognitions for quality, safety and patient satisfaction even as they treat and research some of today's most complex health conditions. Our team-care approach, which brings faculty physicians together with nurses, researchers, residents and students, technicians and staff, is just one of the many benefits we are able to offer as an academic medical center.
Maximizing our culture of safety is a collaborative effort. All staff take part in planning patient-safety measures for their respective areas and attend annual training. In addition, each clinical department maintains a quality committee that reviews individual cases for issues and identifies opportunities to improve performance.
Selected highlights from our comprehensive quality and safety measures include:
- Use of surgical checklists that help ensure all members of the operating team communicate more effectively with each other and with patients, before, during, and after an operation.
- Strict adherence to specific safety protocols for central-line catheters, the special IVs that are often used when treating very sick patients.
- Assessment of patients at risk for self-injury and falls, with checks upon admission as well as at each change of nursing shifts.
- Follow-up phone calls with our most vulnerable patients to review discharge instructions and confirm plans for follow-up care – an approach that helps reduce readmissions.
- The SpeakUp program, which formally encourages patients and families to be involved and empowered in their care, and suggests approaches for doing so.
- The Code Help program, a special telephone hotline that inpatients and families can use in the unlikely event of an emergency during the course of their care. The program is a voluntary, proactive layer of safety introduced to help prevent negative outcomes before they occur.
- Formal education for new doctors about proven quality and safety practices (including many practices pioneered at medical schools and teaching hospitals) through their regular curricula and other avenues.
- Review of emerging safety findings from medical journals and institutions, helping to identify and implement best practices.
- Regular self-monitoring of our work and progress on patient quality and safety, including reporting to other academic medical centers to compare performance and share best practices.
- Participation with other UC medical centers in The Joint Commission's patient-safety program, which focuses on hand hygiene. The Joint Commission accredits hospitals and is widely considered the nation's predominant health standards-setting body.
- Participation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Partnership for Patients, a $1 billion patient-safety initiative aimed at reducing patient-care injuries and reducing hospital readmissions. The public-private collaboration includes hospitals, employers, health plans, physicians, nurses and patient advocates.
- Continuous monitoring and review of every case to identify and eliminate all possible causes of hospital-acquired conditions – with the goal of preventing them entirely.

Where you stand
A short time ago, The Post-Standard solicited comments from our readers on how you feel about renovations at Holland Stadium - particularly the prospect of installing synthetic turf. The majority of responses were against the proposal. Here are a few of the edited emails, letters and phones calls.
Syracuse has removed their turf in some areas because of the danger to the players. Not only that, it is quite an upkeep, much more expensive to take care of than regular grass. We say "NO!!" to turf at Holland Stadium or anywhere else.
Bernice and David Davia, Auburn
The installation of such a playing surface is the best decision for students and the majority of district voters... there is no other structure in CNY like Holland Stadium...an all weather playing surface would do nothing but infinitely improve it. Band competitions without any fear of un-marchable conditions due to severe rain. Back to back to back (if necessary) athletic games including girls field hockey, soccer, girls lacrosse, football, soccer, and lacrosse. Continuous usage to include marching band practice, sports practice , games, and Auburn community use. Revenue for the school district with an all weather field would be a reality with the ability to host sectional playoff games for field hockey, soccer football and lacrosse for both boys and girls. Do not listen to the negative naysayers who will try to persuade the public without facts or only half truths.
Tim Button, Auburn
I vote YES! for turf at Holland Stadium.
Stephen Gage, Auburn
I am fully in support of upgrades to Holland Stadium, but personally I would not want to see Astroturf on the field at any price. My opinion is based on what I have read about the dangers of injury to players vs. grass and has nothing to do with the cost.
Laurel Ullyette, Auburn
Holland Stadium is the perfect place for a turf field.Why would they want to spend all that money for a state of the art field at the high school and not have the football games played there. Football, soccer, lacrosse could play at Holland Stadium. It could be rented to the college for their home soccer and lacrosse games for income. It would be a source of pride for the community. Let's get this done where it belongs. Go Maroons!
Greg Michaels, Auburn
Holland Stadium has to be one of most beautiful places to watch high school sports. The upgrade to new turf and modernizing the facility would make it second to none!! I feel the last time it was voted on the public was confused and unaware of actually how much it would cost the taxpayer.
Scott Baran, Auburn
We don't need another expenditure for an unnecessary commodity. Why do they keep trying to tie this into improvements that need to be made. I will vote against the whole package if artificial turf is included. Gas is over $3.00 gal. and we are bordering a recession. Grass is better for the athletes with less knee and leg injuries, why do you think most baseball and football stadiums have went back to natural grass.
Tom Ryan, Auburn
We've already been through this when voters said "No" the last time around. But the Auburn School Board continues to ram this turf down our throats. Most of our school board members continue to show us that they don't "really" care about our kids, our tax dollars, or the vote that has already taken place. They've made it more about turf and sports than educating our children.
Judy Ducayne, Auburn
Absolutely NO, stop the burden on the taxpayer and sell out to a corporate entity. Why not call it Nucor Field at Holland Stadium for example? Corporations will pay for anything as long as you plaster their name all over the place.
Brent Logue, Auburn

Microsoft Widens Edge Browser Bug Hunt For Bounty Hunters (theregister.co.uk) 12
Microsoft said today it is expanding its program for rewarding those who find and report bugs in Edge, its latest web browser, enabling bounty hunters to claim their prize for a broader range of vulnerabilities. The Register adds: The snappily titled "Microsoft Edge Web Platform on Windows Insider Preview Bug Bounty Programme" was launched in August, and enabled anyone to report vulnerabilities they discover in Microsoft Edge in exchange for flippin' great wodges of cash. Now, the firm has expanded the programme, with a focus on vulnerabilities that lead to "violation of W3C standards that compromise privacy and integrity of important user data," or which enable remote code execution by a particular threat vector. Specifically, the bounty programme now covers the following: Same Origin Policy bypass vulnerabilities (such as universal cross-site scripting), Referrer Spoofing vulnerabilities, Remote Code Execution vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge on Windows Insider Preview, and Vulnerabilities in open source sections of Chakra.

Really, really interesting article on Puck Daddy ( via Michael Russo) today about team and player promotions during the lockout:
If there's a lockout, player likenesses won't be permitted to be used by teams for marketing and advertising. That means the Wild's Twitter account and web site can no longer run player contests and promote players for the purpose of marketing the franchise.
Well, the Penguins Twitter feed already sucks, so that is no big loss. But don't look for the annual Penguin season-ticket deliveries, among other things. Almost makes you wonder what happens if they accidentally use one of these things? Do the players sue?
As Greg mentioned in his write-up, the last lockout was a different time on the Internet. The Penguins have as strong an online presence as any team in the NHL.
Come 11:59pm on Saturday, it is going to be mighty interesting to see the Pens website.

Tips offered to keep pets safe, happy during 4th of July celebrations
ABILENE, Texas - Celebrating the Fourth of July usually involves fireworks.
Whether you're taking your pet to a public show with major explosions or you're putting on a display of your own, there are some things you need to know to keep our four-legged counterparts smiling this year.
Aaron Vannoy, the city of Abilene's animal services manager, shared some tips for how to prepare your pets for the big day.
The sights and sounds of the upcoming Fourth of July celebrations are enjoyable for people, but the commotion of some Independence Day events can confuse animals, make them nervous and even cause them to run away or place themselves in harmful situations, Vannoy said.
Listed below are tips to help keep your animals safe over the Fourth of July holiday:
1. Keep pets indoors and away from crowds so that they feel more protected.
2. Animals that are already crate trained may feel safest in their crate.
3. Consider boarding your animals in a safe place away from the holiday festivities. If you plan to travel during this time, boarding your animal might be a better option than leaving the animal at home.
4. Your veterinarian may choose to prescribe a sedative for your animal if it tends to become easily spooked by the fireworks. Remember that your animal must be seen by a veterinarian in order to receive any prescribed medications.
5. If you have horses, be sure to keep them inside barns or corralled and away from the sound of fireworks.
6. Place and identification tag on your animal or have your animal microchipped and registered.
If your pet becomes lost:
1. Check the neighborhood or area where the pet became lost, as pets have been known to be found close to home even several days later. Put up signs with your pet's photo and your phone number.
2. Contact your microchip registration company. Once notified, they may activate a lost pet recovery network or place your lost pet on a "hot sheet."
3. Contact your veterinarian. If your pet is wearing a rabies tag, the number on the tag can be traced to your veterinarian.
4. Contact City of Abilene Animal Services at 325-698-0085 or visit www.abilenetx.com/animal to view pictures of all animals that have been brought to the Abilene Animal Shelter located at 925 S. 25th St. If possible, visit the shelter daily to see if your pet has been brought in. If an animal is wearing an identification tag with contact information, Animal Services staff will attempt to notify the owner.
5. Place a lost pet ad in your local newspaper or online, and check daily in "found pet" ads.
If you have concerns or questions about helping your animal to make it safely through the Fourth of July holiday, please consult your veterinarian.

Between Due Process and Forgiveness: Revisiting Criminal Statutes of Limitations
Rinat Kitai-Sangero
College of Law and Business
March 19, 2013
Drake Law Review, Vol. 61, p. 423, 2013
The Article seeks to explicate the purposes behind criminal statutes of limitations, especially in regard to serious crimes. It examines the coherency and persuasiveness of possible rationales for such statutes, focusing on personality change by the perpetrator as a possible explanation or justification for barring prosecution after the lapse of substantial time following the commission of a crime. The Article concludes that the passage of time by itself does not carry enough moral weight to overcome countervailing considerations.

Meet 12 D-FW contestants making their mark on reality TV this season
Photo: NBC/Trae Patton/NBC
Rockwall's Amber Carrington sang Carrie Underwood's "Good Girl" on NBC's "The Voice" prompting coach Adam Levine to turn his chair, choosing her as the last member on his team. Blake Shelton said that if he had any spots left on his team he would've picked her. Adam predicts that she will be one of the surprises of the season. I would like to see that, her performance last night was solid but something tells me she can do better.

It was a strong but not record showing in the Nielsen ratings for the Osbournes, who grace the current cover of PEOPLE magazine and saw their MTV show, "The Osbournes," return for its second season last Tuesday.
The season premiere, which featured Ozzy having dinner with the president and Kelly prepping for her pop performance debut, pulled in 6.64 million viewers. At its peak during the first season, Variety reports, the show reached nearly 8 million viewers.
Even so, it appears Osbourne-mania hasn't subsided, given that the family's competition on other networks was fairly fierce, including original episodes of "NYPD Blue" on ABC, "Judging Amy" on CBS and a Katie Couric interview special on NBC.
In person, Osbourne daughter Kelly, 18, attracted a large crowd in New York last Wednesday, where she signed copies of her debut CD, "Shut Up," at a Virgin Megastore.
She also told The New York Times that she was going to spend Thanksgiving alone. "The family is going to England -- but not me," she said.
But expect the family to be together again in Beverly Hills for New Year's Eve. Mother Sharon and father Ozzy plan to renew their wedding vows that night, in honor of their 20th anniversary.
"We'll write our own vows and have our marriage blessed again," Sharon, 50, tells PEOPLE. "It will be one New Year's we'll never forget."

|Here are some details about my project:
9 x 12 with a 4B pencil.
Hello Mary Ellen1, Welcome to Perspective in Landscape Drawing. This is a wonderful idea to combine classic form and nature as a perspective drawing exercise. Thank you for sharing information on sketchpad dimensions, materials and your enjoyment. You may wish to add some different hardnesses to your pencil arsenal: H, 2H, B, and 2B would be of great use. You have a keen sense of form and its projection into pictorial space: the grave markers are convincing, well done! Also, you did well with the tonal structure. It confirms much of the linear placement as a spatial expression. One aspect of the tonal structure that may contribute to this spatial expression is modeling the ground plane with tones that conveys the the various tones and shadows of the fallen leaves and grass. Start with a general tone and develop that. All-in-all, a successful drawing. I look forward to seeing the post of your next assignment.
Thank you. I'm going to try adding some more detail to the foreground to integrate it with the headstones. I think walking away from the drawing for awhile gives me a new look.
Also unclear on the use of the tissue paper. Should I make changes there to preview for the first drawing and then make the changes on the original? Seems a shame to try to redraw the whole thing.
Hello Mary Ellen, The tracing paper [tissue paper will not work as well, it tends to tear easily] is used for several reasons. One can check accuracy and not make any changes. This exercise would be used to inform future work, understanding how one "sees". Another reason to use it is one can make compositional changes to try different ideas and not change the original drawing. Also, one can use the tracing paper drawing to start a new drawing of the same subject matter, if the artist so desires.

B-School Accrediting Body Retools Standards
Seeking to balance academic rigor with respect for individual schools' teaching and research missions, the main accrediting body for business schools voted on Monday to revamp its standards. But the changes seem to make accreditation easier, not harder, for schools to attain.
The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, a 97-year-old nonprofit body that issues a seal of approval to business and accounting programs world-wide, says it needs the flexibility to support a growing group of programs from around the world. The organization currently accredits 672 business schools in 44 countries and territories, a number that has increased sharply in recent years and helped boost the organization's revenue.
Linda Livingstone, dean of Pepperdine University's Graziadio School of Business and Management and a member of the committee that created the new standards, says the most substantive change is the way the organization reframed its rules to encourage "innovation" and "engagement"—seen by some as fuzzy terms with few specifics. It has also eased the restrictions on faculty, making it easier for international schools to hire instructors who don't have Ph.Ds.
The moves have been welcomed by new programs seeking to build credibility and compete with established schools, though some worry that the credential has lost its value.
"Accreditation is a signal of quality. And if you accredit everyone, it's not a signal anymore," says one former AACSB board member and current dean at a top-tier school who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Bob Reid, AACSB's chief accreditation officer and a former dean at James Madison University's business school, says the group now assesses schools in the context of their individual missions, rather than against a common standard. But determining whether a business school's mission is ambitious enough, or whether it fulfills that mission, is far from scientific, some deans say.
Schools gain and maintain accreditation via a peer review system, and though some deans find the required self-reflection to be useful, others say the time and resources spent on paperwork and preparing for campus visits aren't worth it.
AACSB-accredited schools comprise about 5% of all business programs world-wide, and nearly all elite institutions in the U.S., according to the group's own estimate. But Mr. Reid says he would like to capture more, especially given increasing competition from other, younger accreditation groups in Europe, including the Association of M.B.A.s and European Quality Improvement System.
AACSB brought in more than $5 million in revenue from accreditation fees in fiscal 2011, up from $4.8 million the prior year. It earned another $3.2 million in annual dues in 2011, up from $3.1 million the prior year. Increased attendance at annual conferences and seminars brings in added funds, too.
But as more programs gain accreditation, some business-school leaders say the gold standard is losing its luster.
"For many original institutions, it's not clear what the value of [accreditation] is any longer," says Avijit Ghosh, a former dean at University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign and now senior adviser to that university's president.
Several other deans are critical privately, though no one appears ready to walk away from the process.
"The presence of accreditation doesn't differentiate you [as an elite school], but the absence of it does cause more noise and questions," says David Thomas, dean at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business.
AACSB started nearly a century ago, and founding members included the business schools at Harvard University, Columbia University and University of Texas. The group's current chairman is Joseph A. DiAngelo, dean at the business school at Saint Joseph's University, and its vice-chair, Robert S. Sullivan, heads the business school at University of California, San Diego.

Of the top winners in the Commonwealth, Raymond Biddle Jr. of Jefferson Hills, Pa., Wayne Ziegler of Butler, Pa., George McGrady of Carnegie, Pa., and Doug Antill of Titusville, Pa., stand out as the top winners, thus far. McGrady and Antill each have won an Ultimate Fishing Gear Package worth $2,500, Ziegler has won a $5,000 Cabela's Shopping Spree and Biddle has won a Ranger Bass Boat worth $60,000.
"Cabela's continues to be a great partner by providing these prizes to Pennsylvania anglers, and we're glad to see so many top winners," said PFBC Executive Director John Arway.
Raymond Biddle caught his winning largemouth bass on Keystone Lake, Keystone State Park. After registering on Cabela's website earlier this year, Ray has been actively fishing for a prize-winning fish. At 48-years-old, he's been fishing since 2007, starting as a shore angler. In 2010, he then became a boat angler with regular fishing trips to Keystone Lake. Ray says it all started when his wife wanted to go camping at Keystone State Park in a newly purchased camper. While there, he figured that he'd try his hand at fishing and has been "hooked" ever since. When he initially caught the fish, Ray said that he was shaking, shocked and amazed. While he knew that finding the million-dollar-tagged fish was like "finding a needle in a hay field," finding any of the prize-winning-tagged fish was still like "finding a needle in a haystack." In addition to fishing on Keystone Lake, Ray also fishes on the Monongahela River where he says that fishing for largemouth bass just keeps getting better and better.
Asked what Ray plans to do next week, during the July 4th holiday, he responded that he'll be camping with some family and friends at Keystone Lake. He plans to take advantage of the July 4th Fish-for-free Day to introduce others to what he knows is a rewarding experience on multiple levels—that is, fishing in Pennsylvania.
As a reminder, the 12 Pennsylvania contest waters are:

Sexton expects physical clash
Fly-half Jonathan Sexton has braced Ireland for a fractious encounter with Argentina that he believes will be won by the team that delivers amid the pressure of a critical encounter.
- Related Content
One of Test rugby's unlikeliest rivalries will be renewed at Aviva Stadium on Saturday and in keeping with previous meetings, the stakes are high.
For the second time in four years they are trading blows for the prize of a place among the second tier of seeds for next month's 2015 World Cup draw.
A pool containing hosts England and one of New Zealand, Australia, South Africa or France potentially awaits the losers.
Ireland and Argentina have collided at three previous World Cups with the Irish exiting the 1999 and 2007 tournaments as a result of crumbling before the Pumas.
Ronan O'Gara has spoken of the "bad blood" between the rivals, while four years ago at Croke Park Donncha O'Callaghan declared "personally, I don't like them".
The Munster veterans are on the bench tomorrow and although many of the protagonists may have changed, Sexton believes the lingering hostility adds to the theatre.
"Rugby's a physical game and sometimes there are little arguments. They're good and sometimes that's why people watch the sport," he said.
"Argentina and Ireland matches have always been like that.
"We're two very passionate teams that want to do well and that boils over at times.
"At outside-half I don't get involved too much and try to stay away from it.
"If there is a confrontation then there is one, but we won't be looking for it.
"Argentina have really evolved their game in recent times and their team has strength throughout.
"I'd say we're fairly evenly matched across the board, so it's about who turns up and plays better on the day."
Ireland are hoping to halt a run of five successive Test defeats, their worst losing sequence for 14 years.
Despite missing six key players to injury, the Guinness Series opener against South Africa presented the chance to return to winning ways only for a 12-3 half-time lead to deteriorate into a 16-12 loss.
Sexton, who has recovered from the groin injury that forced him to miss last Saturday's non-cap international against Fiji, has implored Ireland to keep their foot on Argentina's jugular.
"We showed the intensity we are capable of bringing against South Africa, but we didn't do that for 80 minutes," the 27-year-old said.
"It's easy to do at the start of a game when you're psyched up, but when you need to score in the final quarter, having that intensity is an asset.
"It's about doing it for 80 minutes this week. We will have to dog it out at times.
"We showed against South Africa that we can play against a quality side."
The only change to the side beaten by the Springboks is the selection of uncapped 21-year-old Craig Gilroy, who replaces Ulster colleague Andrew Trimble on the left wing.
Gilroy has scored five tries in two outings for Ireland - both were non-cap matches - and Sexton has witnessed first hand how dangerous he can be.
"I'm sure Craig will put his individual stamp on the game," he said.
"When he gets his hands on the ball he's pretty terrifying. He's a great player and deserves a go.
"We've played against him at Leinster and have to give him a special mention before the game about how he is able to beat the first tackler.
"He's a real out and out winger who can do some serious damage when he gets the ball."

Adapted from Claire Berman's recipe from the excellent website www.thisglutenfreelife.org - a great source of gluten free recipes of both sweet and savoury application so please check it out for further inspiration or simply click here to go straight to the post.
Savoury gluten free recipes (including bread) are a most challenging beast. After a lot of experimentation we finally settled on this recipe, based largely around a version from the 'This Gluten Free Life' website. It has a great texture (nothing even like a crumbly cake), a good crust and with a few big-flavoured toppings, is a pretty respectable alternative.
Like with all gluten free baking, there is a fair bit of variation with results due to the unforgiving nature of the flour blends – some doughs end up too wet, others too dry.
So to try and minimise this as much as possible, we've listed the brand of gf flour used in production down the bottom of the recipe (even though as a rule, we don't list brands). I'm sure others would work just as well but for the sake of standardising results, we've done so on our gf posts.
12g Active dry yeast
2g Sugar
472g Warm water (110 F)
800g Gluten-free flour
12g Xanthan gum
12g Salt
480g Eggs (8 large)
120ml Extra-virgin olive oil
12g Cider vinegar
Pizza sauce
Yield: 10 large pizza breads
1, Mix the yeast and sugar in with the warm water then leave to sit for around 10 minutes or until frothy.
2, Meanwhile sift the flour with the xanthan gum and salt into the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
3, When the yeast mix is frothy, add it along with the eggs, oil and vinegar. Mix on low until combined then on med-high for one minute until a very sticky, moist dough has been formed that is just slightly lightened in colour.
4, Use a scraper to tip onto a clean bench. Divide the dough into 10 pieces, then shape on trays into flat rounds, about 1.5cm high, using floured hands.
5, Let rise for 1 hour (they will only increase slightly in size, but the dough will 'soften' in texture), then bake for 15-20 minutes at 200°C.
6, If topping with pizza sauce and mozzarella or any other variation – keep the ingredients light and simple, and only add them for the final five minutes of cooking.
- Gluten free flours differ slightly between blends, therefore add the last of the wet ingredients slowly so as to ensure the dough is not too wet – a dough you can just pat into shape is what you're after.
- For all our Gluten free recipes we used FG Roberts Plain Flour which is a mix of Maize Starch, Tapioca Starch, Soy Flour and Rice Flour.

"Had Corey wished to be anywhere, he would have loved to be with us last night, to be with all his old friends," Kristy Swanson tells PEOPLE. "We're glad his mom got to be a part of it too."
Guests included Haim's good friend Corey Feldman, Todd Bridges, Baywatch's Nicole Eggert, Teen Witch star Robyn Lively and former Playmate Julie McCullough.
Earlier this week, Feldman blogged that Haim's mother preferred a discreet gathering with friends rather than a larger public memorial. Haim died March 10 at age 38.
"It was like a reunion," says Swanson of the three-hour gathering, which began at 7:30 p.m. "Robyn brought tons of old pictures – lots of people with crazy hair and funny clothes, and people gave Judy gifts. I had a picture of me with Corey on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I gave that to her. There were no speeches, just lots of picture taking, talking and sharing pictures of our kids."
According to Swanson, Judy Haim is returning to Toronto to continue chemotherapy treatments. She also plans to help care for her newborn grandchild by Corey's older sister, Carol. "That's Judy's new focus," says Swanson.

Today is the 4th Anniversary of the death of the most prolific entertainer ever—Michael Jackson. I will never forget the moment, when news of his death came across the radio waves. I was driving South on the Lodge, my right turn signal blinking as I take the W. Grand Blvd. exit. At that precise moment, while I was mere minutes away from Hitsville, the news came: "Michael Jackson has passed away". I am always skeptical of the news reports that celebrities have died. The media is always trying to kill someone off. I immediately began searching the other radio stations and to my horror every station was playing a Michael Jackson song. It can't be true, I thought. I had plans to stow away on a plane to London to see "This is It". However, the news vans, the memorial, the growing crowd of tearful fans gathered in front of the Motown museum were the needles that poked a hole in my delusional bubble. My favorite performer was gone and with it my dreams of getting really rich and famous and bumping into him (read: catch a glimpse of him) at an award show.
Now, four years later, the disbelief has worn off and with it comes mild acceptance. I'm no longer sad about the life lost and can celebrate the music and memories made. While it would be very easy to talk about the controversies that plagued his career, instead I'm going to have an MJ Party and watch my 5 of my favorite Michael Jackson videos.
Watch them with me and tell me your favorites!
Sidenote: It is impossible to pick just five!

MOVIE WATCHING AMERICANS are spending money on video streaming and downloaded film services, so much so that online sales there have overtaken physical ones.
Numbers from bean counters at IHS show that this will be the first year that online films and streaming services will take in more money than sales of DVD and Blu-ray discs combined.
These are legal services of course, and it is worth pointing that out if for no other reason than the fact that IHS keeps repeating it.
There will be 3.4 billion legal and paid for movies watched in the US this year, around one million higher than hard copy sales.
"The year 2012 will be the final nail to the coffin on the old idea that consumers won't accept premium content distribution over the Internet," said Dan Cryan, senior principal analyst for broadband and digital media at IHS.
"In fact, the growth in online consumption is part of a broader trend that has seen the total number of movies consumed from services that are traditionally considered 'home entertainment' grow by 40 percent between 2007 and 2011, even as the number of movies viewed on physical formats has declined."
This is weird. We've heard the horror stories about so-called 'piracy' but they do not seem to be ringing true. We thought it was ruining businesses, but perhaps it's just nipping at their profits. Let's see what the experts say.
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) is telling us that global box office sales have increased by three per cent since 2010 and now tot up to $32.6bn. In China, where we thought eye patches and parrots are common, the market has increased by over a third.
"These numbers underscore the impact of movies on the global economy and the vitality of the film-watching experience around the world," said former US Senator Chris Dodd, chairman and CEO of the MPAA.
"The bottom line is clear: people in all countries still go to the movies and a trip to the local cinema remains one of the most affordable entertainment options for consumers."
The MPAA is one of the bodies that supported the Stop Online Piracy Act, and recently its chairman criticised firms that opposed it and accused them of seeking nothing more than publicity by muddying the debate waters.
"Some technology business interests are resorting to stunts that punish their users or turn them into their corporate pawns, rather than coming to the table to find solutions to a problem that all now seem to agree is very real and damaging," said Dodd.
"It is an irresponsible response and a disservice to people who rely on them for information and use their services."

Why Breastfed Babies Have a Lower Risk of SIDSHeather Turgeon
An article in Pediatrics tells us that nursing your baby lowers the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. From an analysis of 288 studies (18 of which met scientific criteria to be included), it was found that babies who were breastfed were 60 percent less likely to suffer from SIDS than those who were given no breast milk.
And the longer the baby was nursed, the lower the risk — for moms babies who were exclusively breastfed, the risk with 73 percent lower.
The fact that breastfeeding is linked to SIDS is of interest, but to me the more intriguing part is the researchers explanation for why this might be. Here's what they say could protect infants from SIDS when they're on a diet of breast milk:
One possible reason is that the researchers say breastfed infants are more easily aroused from sleep than those who are given formula at 2-3 months of age. Heavy sleep may make a baby less likely to wake up and move if she can't breath properly.
The other reason they cite is that breastfeeding provides immunoglobulins, which protect babies from infection. I'm not sure in this case if they mean that an infection could directly cause SIDS, or that a sick baby might also be less likely to wake up and move her head for air (or her airways might already be blocked from the infection).
Here's an earlier feature from my Science of Kids column on the cause of SIDS.
My question to you: does it seem correct that breastfed babies wake up more easily than formula fed ones? I always thought the sleep-inducing capacity of formula was a myth?

America's destiny for the Rhône's famous red grape will ultimately be crafting wines that land between the earthy French version known as "syrah" and the luscious Aussie fruit bomb dubbed "shiraz."
The perfect compromise should probably be called "sy-raz," although I'm sure the great winemakers of Washington State would object. They stick with the classic label of syrah, and since these tend to be my favorite domestic renditions, they've earned the right.
Even so, a great bottle like this 2006 Cougar Crest Reserve from Walla Walla, steeply discounted in Pennsylvania issue from $55 to $24.99, shows its true hybrid personality in the glass - in the very best way.

New York Times:
- Sunday Book Review cover: David Leavitt on Henry James: The Mature Master by Sheldon Novick: "Like its predecessor, 'Henry James: The Mature Master' strives to supplant the common view of James as 'a passive, fearful man, a detached observer of the life around him' with one of the writer as a gregarious, sometimes heroic, often troubled citizen of the world. Far from a sniffy celibate living comfortably on independent means or a 'little boy with his nose pressed against the glass of a shop window,' Novick's James was an authentic cosmopolite who led a life as emotionally, sexually and financially complex as those of the characters in his fiction."
- Matt Weiland on Psychogeography: Disentangling the Modern Conundrum of Psyche and Place by Will Self and Ralph Steadman: "As with Self's novels, the ideas behind his long walks can be more engaging than the walks themselves. This may be because on the page Self is a sprinter, not a distance man; certainly he is at his most perceptive and convincing when writing short and focused little pieces. Which is to say: Self is a natural and excellent columnist. So skip the introduction and proceed directly to the short pieces, all of which originally appeared as the Psychogeography column in the London newspaper The Independent."
- William Grimes on Smile When You're Lying: Confessions of a Rogue Travel Writer by Chuck Thompson: "The book is a savagely funny act of revenge for years spent servicing the travel fantasies of gullible readers.... A cloud of guilt envelops Mr. Thompson as he writes, conscious that he and his travel-porn colleagues have strip mined the earth of its most precious resource: pleasant, undiscovered destinations. 'We venerate what we destroy,' he writes. 'But first we destroy.'"
- Kakutani on Her Last Death by Susanna Sonnenberg: "the wonder of this memoir is that the author survived her traumatic childhood and found a way of turning her memories into a fiercely observed, fluently written book that captures the chaos and confusions of her youth, the daughter of an unpredictable pill-and-coke addicted mother and a brilliant, self-absorbed father, neither of whom had the faintest idea of how to be a parent."
Washington Post:
- Jason Roberts on Stanley by Tim Jeal: "Jeal's biography is an unalloyed triumph, not only because it is painstakingly researched and eminently readable, but because it never loses sight of the abandoned child in the man, driving him forward, 'able to frighten, able to suffer, but also able to command love and obedience.' Such a personality, Jeal notes, is 'an extinct species, and all the more remarkable for that.'"
- Jonah Lehrer on The Stuff of Thought by Steven Pinker: "The Stuff of Thought concludes with an optimistic gloss on the power of language to lead us out of the Platonic cave, so that we can 'transcend our cognitive and emotional limitations.' It's a nice try at a happy ending, but I don't buy it. The Stuff of Thought, after all, is really about the limits of language, the way our prose and poetry are bound by innate constraints we can't even comprehend."
Los Angeles Times:
- Matthew Sharpe on It Was Like My Trying to Have a Tender-Hearted Nature by Diane Williams: "What, then, is good about depicting egregious feelings and behavior in language that is resolutely strange? Couldn't one, a reader might ask, be coaxed from one's habits of perception by stories written in more quotidian language and depicting more kindness and politeness? Perhaps, but the extremity that Williams depicts and the extremity of the depiction evoke something akin to the pity and fear that the great writers of antiquity considered central to literature. Her stories, by removing you from ordinary literary experience, place you more deeply in ordinary life. 'Isn't ordinary life strange?' they ask, and in so asking, they revivify and console."
Globe & Mail:
- Greg Buium on Coltrane: The Story of a Sound by Ben Ratliff: "Ratliff ... could easily have written something persnickety and parochial; music writers too often adore the equivalent of inside baseball. Instead, he's turned a real jazz book into an immediate declaration of relevance. Coltrane is about artistic influence and American culture, and Ratliff uses perhaps the toughest matter at a critic's disposal to tell this story: a musician's sound."
- Claire Berlinski on Other Colors by Orhan Pamuk: "For page upon page, Pamuk stresses in these self-enamoured tones that he is a man who really likes to read books. Good ones, too, by famous writers like Dostoyevsky and Borges - not, you know, easy ones. He's different from other Turks, you see. But he's not like the Europeans, either. He's an outsider, eternally apart, rejected by all, accepted by no one (the Nobel committee aside)."
The Guardian:
- Tibor Fischer on The White King by Gyorgy Dragoman: "The novel won awards in Hungary, and it's easy to see why. It's the Just William books teamed up with Nineteen Eighty-Four; a superb novel about childhood, schooldays and gang fights, but one that manages to put the world of the adults firmly into focus as well. The first few chapters struggle in a sort of Joycean-Beckettian straitjacket (as an indication of his intellectual weight, Dragomán translated Watt into Hungarian for fun), but then Dragomán forgets all that and lets the narrative rip, shifting the characters around like he's Stephen King or Elmore Leonard."
The New Yorker:
- No new issue this week, so go back and read more of the Fiction issue.

Foreskin Freak-Outs Put Into PerspectiveCeridwen Morris
"Circumcision is one of humanities greatest crimes, and American parents who continue to let this go on are its accomplices."
The above is a little sampling from the big old freak-out happening in New Jersey on the topic of circumcision. Apparently, Jayne Freeman, of Jersey City's Mamarama, was too damn neutral in her stance. And the comments– such as the one above– started to fly.
Freeman's opinion– which I share— is that circumcision is a personal choice one should make having looked at the research and considered the options thoughtfully. And since current research has led the American Academy of Pediatricians to conclude that circumcision should neither be routinely performed nor banned, that pretty much leaves us with "it's personal."
When you look very closely at the statistics, the increases of risks on either side are so minor they are not considered significant. The data is not coming down hard on for anyone. I guess that's why these circ/anti-circ battles can be such crazed, mud-flinging fests!
The extreme points of view, while cementing an opinion for some, can be absolutely devastating to most. To be told you are mutilating your child, or, if you go the other way, exposing him to ridicule or disease? No one wants any of the bad things listed on either the pro or anti-circ websites to happen to their baby boys. And, according to the AAP and many other medical authorities, they won't happen!
How are you handling/did you handle the circumcision question? Do you feel like collateral damage in the circ wars? Or are you managing to steer through, mud-free?

The Arden Theatre Company's season finale, which opened last night in the Walnut's fifth-floor studio space, consists of 14 pieces by eight writers who live in the Philadelphia area or have some connection thereto, whose work - short stories, poems, one-act plays - was picked out of some 300 submissions and adapted to an omnibus format by Terrence J. Nolen and Aaron Posner, producing and artistic director, respectively, of the Arden, and free-lance director-choreographer Deborah Block.
This "eclectic collage" has been whimsically titled "Philadelphia Phiction." Fiction it is, but little of it, beyond a very brief piece on ''Philly Summer Fountains," seems to have a significantly Philadelphia flavor. And I say, thank heaven for the omissions. There isn't a trace of a whisper about our quaint vernacular, cheese steaks, Schuylkill punch, the Mummers or the mayors we have known and loved.

Italy Cruise Aground
Tuesday, January 17, 2012 1:20 PM
The cruise ship Costa Concordia leans on its side Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2012, after running aground on the tiny Tuscan island of Giglio, Italy, on Friday evening. Italian naval divers on Tuesday exploded holes in the hull of a cruise ship that grounded near a Tuscan island to speed the search for 29 missing passengers and crew while the seas remain relatively calm. The search intensified as prosecutors prepared to question the captain, who is accused of causing the wreck that left at least six dead by making a maneuver that the Italian cruise operator said was "unapproved and unauthorized."
