Discover The CTU Experience
I recently wrote a short essay for Journal of Homeland Security Education that graded general state of Homeland Security (HS) education today. I proposed – at the risk of offending most of our colleagues – that homeland security-specific academia would receive a solid C. Our community has done plenty right. Yet, we have plenty of room for improvement.
Popular media often portrays a terrorist as a person of Middle Eastern descent. It's a shortsighted, dangerous and limited perspective that reflects the media's lack of diversity in imagination. Seldom are terrorists depicted as blonde-haired, blue-eyed individuals dressed in traditional business attire. But that view may soon change.
I'm writing this post from the Next Generation Security Summit (NGSS) in Austin, TX. The event brings together about 100 senior executives, in particular the chief information security officers (CISOs), from corporations around the country. Are you curious to know the #1 priority on their minds? CISOs want to know how the proliferation of mobile devices impacts security and compliance. More specifically, how should organizations manage the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) issue?
Innovation leadership is the practice of applying leadership to support the creation of new ideas, products, services and solutions. An innovation leader realizes that any employee can conceive innovative ideas, at any moment and for any reason. They recognize, support and empower employees to be creative.
The National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA) annual conference wrapped up in Austin, Texas this past fall. The NASPAA is the authorized accreditor for public policy programs and is considered the global standard in public service education. Their annual conference is a significant event, with national and international scholars addressing issues of public policy importance.
A couple of weeks ago, I shared three new LinkedIn profile features that you shouldn't underestimate. While it's important to leverage all new features as best as you can, it's vital to continue utilizing the professional networking platform's fundamental functions. They also have a huge impact on your overall digital presence. Here's how three of LinkedIn's free components can add more value to your job search.
I achieved a tremendous milestone in October. In the four months prior, I lost 50 pounds. It was news that I couldn't wait to share with my Facebook friends. As I began updating my status, an idea sparked. I'd been chronicling my weight loss journey online for months and it was just the motivation I needed to stick with my new healthy habits. Could I apply this same motivation to achieve other goals, like completing my doctoral dissertation?
CTU's Global Security Series offers background on current national and homeland security topics. In this series, University Dean of Security Studies, Dr. Morag, focuses on an often unaddressed area of homeland security: pandemics and its impact on public health. In this fourth installment, Dr. Morag surveys the variety of people, systems and processes that need to coordinate to minimize the risk and spread of a pandemic.
Often, leadership is attributed to personal and professional success. But what defines a great leader? Opinions on this vary from source to source. In my experience, great leaders practice the B.E.S.T. principles.
The second installment of the CTU Distinguished Lecturer Series featured Chuck E. Cheese founder Gene Landrum, Ph.D., last month. This short blog series recaps inspiring stories that the well-known author and educator shared during his guest lecture. In this post, uncover why Dr. Landrum believes hitting bottom doesn't necessarily mean game over.
You might consider Homeland Security a work in progress. It's a function. It's an approach. It's a new discipline that is a profession in and of itself, but is a facet of many others.
It's far more than the Department of Homeland Security because the whole business of protecting our country is a collaborative effort that, for any given situation, can involve public and private resources, at the local, state and national levels, from firefighters to military personnel to medical researchers.
Imagine the possibilities. You've probably heard that phrase before and if you've ever sat through a human physiology class or other healthcare-related programs of study, you might have wondered, "Is there a better way…?" Skeletal models, patient simulations, and other advanced medical technology provide a certain level of information, but it's often it's generic. They don't offer a true-to-life visual that would allow you to diagnose and prescribe based on a patient's one-of-a-kind needs.
Most people are unaware of what is or who becomes involved when a pandemic strikes. In this post, I explore the institutions and mechanisms that exist in the United States to track and cope with pandemic outbreaks in this country and worldwide. As you read, consider your part in this complex process. What can you do to minimize the potential spread of disease in your community?
Smart CIOs aren't lemmings, leaping over cliffs and chasing bright shiny objects in search of the next Information Technology (IT) silver bullet. But in the case of cloud computing, many are diving in – head first.
Last month, LinkedIn started rolling out its new profile format. Featuring an updated design and notable insights, the fresh take on profiles will make it easier for you to tell your professional story, discover people and opportunities, and engage with your network.

My eyes fill with tears as I sit in the office kitchen having my lunch. My hands start shaking and there's a lump in my throat. I go back to my desk to avoid having to explain why I, a mature, well-educated man in a large organisation, am crying over my tuna salad.
It's news time and the large TV in the kitchen is covering another story about perpetrators of child sex abuse. I'm crying because I'm a survivor. I spend the rest of the day drinking coffee and trying to think clearly so I can work.
There have been several consequences of the regular sexual abuse I suffered between the ages of nine and 12. One of them is post-traumatic stress disorder, which I experienced as deep anxiety and nightmares.
I took antidepressants for years. I tend to be rather silent and I'm cautious of people. Loud noises make me jump, a condition called a startle response.
Shame and secrecy are some of the cruellest parts of abuse because they are based on the child's trust (or fear) of the abuser. I've had more than a decade of regular therapy sessions and I still see a therapist when I need to.
Some years ago, I told my wife and (adult) children and I've told some friends when it felt right. I find that exercise such as swimming and walking help.
There's a dilemma for me when I come across news items about the sexual abuse of children.
Hearing people describe what was done to me as a vile crime, monstrous and despicable, I feel vindicated and supported by the move to bring perpetrators (and their protectors) to justice and yet the widespread media coverage of abuse brings overwhelming feelings of hurt and distress.
I also have a mental conflict: I'm meant to be so privileged and powerful - white, Anglo-Saxon and male - and yet sometimes I feel utterly unsafe and vulnerable.
Physical scars heal but it seems that psychological trauma, especially to a child's brain, means a lifelong vulnerability.
If I read or watch stories about perpetrators, I find myself back in my elite English preparatory boarding school, a young child unable to escape from the assaults of a house master who slept next to our dormitories.
It was a privilege to go to my expensive school and it was a financial sacrifice by my parents, which only made it more difficult to tell anyone. I didn't tell anyone for 40 years, not until both my parents had died.
I accept some people cannot understand that psychological trauma can last 50 years, even with lots of therapy. What I struggle to understand is a denial of responsibility or lack of compassion from someone who leads an organisation that caused such trauma. My hurt and anger was deepened by the defiant response of Cardinal George Pell, who said the sexual abuse of children by Catholic priests has been exaggerated. So much for compassion.
I feel proud the Australian government has announced a royal commission because it seems many organisations have protected perpetrators in their ranks and a society that cannot protect its children is seriously damaged.

I have a decent gas grill but since reading "How to Grill," I also want charcoal. We plan on taking a trip up to my folks and they don't have a grill, so my wife said "Hey - let's get that portable grill at home depot."
It's the aussie. It's not a table top grill, but it is a square, flat lid. Not a dome like the weber or sunbeam, Also, the grate doesn't have the openin glids to add coals.
Will I be able to effectively do ribs, brisket etc on this cheap grill? I imagine I just wouldn't be bale to do tall itmes like turnkey or beer can chicken.
Advice please.
P.S. Of these two, whiich do u think would be better?

EXCLUSIVE: Tony Romo disses Jessica Simpson's bedroom skills
Tony Romo went buck wild this weekend in Chicago and reports are coming in that he decided to get plastered and break up with Jessica Simpson – without telling her. These Boots are Made For Stalking broke the story after one of Tony's friends informed them the Dallas quarterback was all over the ladies. The Superficial received an e-mail from an anonymous source that jives with Tony's buddies' tales and offers some more dirt on his night out. Here's the exclusive details:
Tony Romo was in town, and he was bar hopping with some buddies of his from Chicago. He had the nerve to put Jessica on speakerphone and talk about their sex life with all his guys listening and laughing at her. Not only is this girl dumb, but she is completely self conscious about her bedroom skills. After a few too many drinks, he told everyone he and Jessica are over. They are taking a "break." He could never see himself being serious and marrying this girl. He's just having fun with her. It's funny everyone is talking about them getting married when they are completely over. Sorry Jessica, Tony had his fun with you, and now is on to bigger and better things.
Not to be content with just one exclusive, here's my exclusive letter to Jessica Simpson where I try to touch her exclusive boobs:
Dear Sweet Jessica,
I, too, suck in the sack. I mean, I'm freaking terrible. I've got references if you need them, so call me up and we'll get down with some mediocre rebounding.
My number is 1-800-I-SWEAR-THIS-NEVER-HAPPENED-BEFORE.
Oh, and also, I'm really good at not making eye contact during conversations, so we're practically a match made in heaven!
Your Knight in Sort of Shiny Armor But Really Just His Boxers,
The Superficial Writer

A pie giveaway at the Hudson Valley Hospital Center is a holiday tradition….
Cortlandt Manor, NY – November 21, 2012 – Apple outpaced Pumpkin again this year at Hudson Valley Hospital Center where 1,150 Hospital employees received free pumpkin or apple pies the day before Thanksgiving. Each year the number of pies purchased increases based on the number of employees. This year alone, HVHC added 100 new employees.
Continuing a 17-year tradition, the Hospital's administration personally handed out the pies to staff during an open house from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Wagner Conference Room.
The pies, baked by Homestyle Bakery in Peekskill, were stacked high in the conference room and employees stopped in to pick up their pies, have a cup of coffee and chat with administration throughout the day.
"It's a great tradition,'' said Federspiel. "People bring their children and other family members in and drop by to say hello. It's a great way to start the holidays.''
Cindy Barry (Cortlandt Manor), a physical therapist at HVHC, and her children, Mathew, Peter, Thomas and Christina, pick up a pie from Jeane Costella (Somers), Vice President of Human Resources

Givenchy Spring 2013
"Pure and light," said Riccardo Tisci backstage at his transcendently chic and controlled Givenchy show. "I went back to the roots of the house," he explained, "and worked on the sixties of Hubert [de Givenchy]—which was the best period for me." To this, Tisci added his passion for the furniture designs of the enigmatic creative force Carlo Mollino—"the geometry and the lightness of the shapes in wood and the metal"—and blended in the sobriety of nuns' habits.
Tisci's girls, with their hair scraped into tight balletic chignons, and beige eye shadow painted into exaggerated Cleopatra points, moved at a lightning pace on Mollino-inspired shoes with conical heels of wood and metal, anchored with broad straps of clear plastic. The clothes, in a rigorous palette of monastic black and white with touches of light sky blue and pale beige, were mostly lean and tubular, with the emphasis on a dropped waistline.
Givenchy's own mentor, Cristobal Balenciaga, famously told him that "a ruffle must be intelligent," and Tisci in turn has absorbed that cryptic mantra, setting controlled flounces to outline the sleeve or neckline to relieve the severity of his lean tunic dresses. Many of these had apron fronts and flying panels in the back, resembling a nun's scapular, anchored into place with metallic bar clips; sometimes they were layered over narrow pants. Chokers of clear plastic or wood, edged in gleaming metal, suggested clerical collars.
The monastic atmosphere was heightened by Tomaso Albinoni's eighteenth-century "Adagio in G Minor," (played by Mathias Lecomte on the giant organ that dominated the center of the runway), but in the DJ booth, Discodromo mixed a pulsing techno beat—an example of Tisci's ability to sample from the past but bring those influences firmly into the present and the future.
Tisci's research in the Givenchy archives provided echoes of some of Hubert's most hieratic creations, and the luxurious fabrics the couturier used in the sixties—heavy silk crepes, satins, and thickly textured matelasse damasks, contrasted with airy materials with architectural body to them, including satin organza, gazar, and thick guipure lace. But this wasn't an exercise in nostalgia, or the thoughtless revisiting of the past that some designers have fallen prey to this season. Instead, Tisci filtered those elements through his own entirely contemporary sensibility and the result was a standout collection that exemplified a new modern way to approach that old-fashioned notion of "elegance."

It's moisturizing, it leaves my hair soft and smelling oh so good! Definitely a staple in my hair regimen!

SNOMED CT to ICD-10 Cross-Map Technology Preview Release
The International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization (IHTSDO) and the World Health Organization are pleased to announce that a Technology Preview of SNOMED CT to ICD-10 cross maps is now available.
The Maps have been constructed using the July 2010 version of SNOMED CT, published by the IHTSDO, as the source; and the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (© World Health Organization 1994) ICD 10 second edition (2008), published and maintained by the World Health Organization, as the target. The cross-maps from SNOMED CT to ICD 10 have been created to support the epidemiological, statistical and administrative reporting of IHTSDO Member countries and WHO Collaborating Centres
The priority list of concepts from three source SNOMED CT domains has been assembled based on frequency of SNOMED CT concept use in clinical data repositories in IHTSDO Member countries. The maps have been produced using the technical processes, methodologies and Quality Assurance procedures developed by the IHTSDO Mapping Special Interest group as part of its collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO). As well as extensive internal quality assurance and advice from experts, an independent validation exercise has been undertaken which resulted in minor changes to the methodology and updates to the maps.
It should be noted that this Technology Preview release builds further on the preview publication in September 2011 of cross maps from SNOMED CT to ICD-10.
The IHTSDO Mapping Service will be updating the source of these maps to align with the January 2013 release of SNOMED CT in readiness for release as a baseline in January 2013. IHITSDO will also be considering an update to the target WHO ICD-10 January 2010 edition. The Release notes and Mapping SNOMED CT to ICD 10 Technical Specifications are available at the following link.
The Technology Preview may be downloaded by any IHTSDO Member organisation, affiliate or interested party who is registered through the SNOMED CT Affiliate License Service Application (SALSA).

Not 2K10. Not Two-Oh-10. Twenty-10.
Taking a short break from my Stooges/Honeymooners overdose …
Well, that was certainly better last night. It wasn't perfect, but it was better. It couldn't have been worse. But what the Rangers did in Raleigh further enforced my opinion of them. When they play their best, when the effort is good and the attention to detail is excellent, they are mediocre. They dominated a bad team. If they play that same game against Pittsburgh, they lose 3-2. Maybe 3-1. OK, some nights they will even beat really good teams. That's pro sports. But over the course of 82, this team's around .500 (maybe over .500 because of OTLs and skills competitions lost). It is a member of the considerable slop in the Leastern Conference, with a chance to make the playoffs, nothing more.
As many of you noted earlier, Larry Brooks took Sather to task, and challenged him to admit his mistakes and make some sweeping changes by sending Redden, Rozsival and Brashear to Hartford. I'll say this. The Rangers wouldn't be any worse without those guys. They probably wouldn't be better, but for the good of the organization, for the example to the young players, Brooks is absolutely correct (again). Time for Sather to step up to the plate.
So, do you think Team USA still likes the skills competition as a way of deciding championship-tournament games?
Here are last night's game summary and event summary. We'll check in later at some point to discuss the Winter Classic and the selection of the US Olympic roster.

On June 5-7, 2014 in San Francisco, CA, the Epilepsy Therapy Project, an initiative of the Epilepsy Foundation presented the 4th Biennial Epilepsy Pipeline Conference 2014, held at the Hyatt Regency, San Francisco.
Showcasing the most promising epilepsy therapies from healthcare companies dedicated to pioneering and advancing drugs, biologics, technologies and devices for epilepsy and seizures, this year's conference featured the third annual "Shark Tank" competition, in addition to a day designated for people with epilepsy, families and advocates. The conference brought together decision-makers with a stake in the field of epilepsy treatment, therapeutic innovation and product development. Speakers and attendees included emerging biotech and medical technology companies, major pharmaceutical and device companies, and researchers and innovators at the cutting-edge of epilepsy and CNS treatment advances.

With his talk of shifting paradigms, Thomas Kuhn, the philosopher of science, can change the way one views the world.
I feel a palpable bond with Michael Skapinker who writes in the FT this week about revisiting Kuhn's 1962 book, "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions".
Yet ask me to name the thinker who has affected me the most, and there is only one candidate – the sage of Springfield, Homer Simpson.
"Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true," says Homer in "Lisa, the Skeptic", a 1997 episode of America's cleverest animated sitcom.
Homer himself must surely have been reading another philosopher of science – the epistemological anarchist Paul Feyerabend.
A professor at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1958 to 1990, Feyerabend penned books with titles such as "Against Method" and "Farewell to Reason".
Going well beyond the paradigms of Kuhn, the "falsificationism" of Karl Popper, and the attempts of Imre Lakatos to resolve perceived conflicts between the two, Feyerabend rejected the existence of universal methodological rules. To him, science was no more "scientific" than crystal-ball gazing or writing poetry. His mantra was "anything goes".
Homer understands this. If only facts weren't meaningless, he says, then you could "prove" things. He might have added that not only can nothing be proved from so-called "facts" but, equally, nothing can be disproved.
Take "Duff Beer" Homer's favourite drink. The proposition that Duff, Duff Light and Duff Dry are, in fact, all the same beer (as indicated to Simpsons viewers on a Duff Brewery tour in the episode "Duffless") is clearly of no consequence. And Homer does well to remain oblivious.
No experiment exists that could establish, with rigorous certainty, that any beer is the same as any other beer. All observations are perceptual experiences couched in the language of a pre-existing hypothesis. And the senses are unreliable guides, anyway, especially after a couple of pints of Duff.
As Homer surely knows, the word "science" is derived from "scio", Latin for "to know". So, strictly speaking, nothing we build on the flimsy foundation of our fallible senses is "scientific" – not geology, not astrophysics, certainly not economics – as FT readers recognise.
In 1981, before Homer Simpson was a gleam in Matt Groening's eye, I was travelling across America by Greyhound bus. In Utah I sat next to a chap for a couple of hours who turned out to be a philosophy PhD student from University of California, Berkeley.
After a few conversational cul-de-sacs I mentioned Paul Feyerabend, and his eyes lit up. Within seconds we, too, had formed a palpable bond. Excitedly, he scrambled about his person and brought forth a treasured scrap of paper from a musty corner of his wallet. It was a personal note to him from Feyerabend.
I don't quite remember the context, but it said: "I have sawn off the branch on which I sit, and am now enjoying the pleasures of freefall."
Rather like our present-day economics.

HeyI'm having issues with displaying "š" and "č" characters in my html/css web page.there is no problem with "á" "í" or "é".I've tried many different windows pre-installed fonts, but they all display "s" instead of "š" and "c" instead of "č".I also thought that the problem might be my English DOCTYPE tag, but can't find any Slovak one.The page is supposed to be written in Slovak language, so i really need all these characters.
Big Thanks! for any help guys.
Are you specifying the UTF-8 character set?
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" >
Try switching to a UTF8 doctype
Thanks for your advice, I've tried it but it didn't work.It actually displayed some weird question mark instead of "á" "í" and so.So I've checked some Slovak sites' <head>s to see how they do it, and it either utf-8 or windows-1250 in the most cases.Please if you have any thoughts what might be causing this problem,share them with me. Thanks!
A link to your site would be a big help.
ok here is the link:riant.sk | web riesenia | dizajn | sadn Vmfor example: 2nd menu item "web riesenia" is supposed to be "web riešenia"
If you don't want to leave this to chance, you can use character references instead. Just place &# before the number and ; after the number (with no gaps either side):
For š use 154
For č use 269
For á use 224
For í use 237
For é use 233
I just found out, that my notepad plus changes each š and č to s and c every time I restart it. I have English as default keyboard on my PC, so that's maybe making the mess. What do you think?
yeah i know about those references, but it slows my writing down too much. i can't imagine myself writing a number of pages like this.but thanks anyway
You could always write the document as normal, with the accented characters, and then before you finally save it, just do a search-and-replace on each one with the relevant bit of code. Yes, it's still a bit of hassle, but at least it won't interrupt the flow of your writing.
If you Google for notepad++ utf-8, you'll find a lot of discussions about problems getting Notepad++ to deal with UTF-8 characters properly, along with a collection of suggested solutions. (I don't use Notepad++, so I can't really test any of it.)
One proposed solution, that sounds promising:
Blog Rat: How to make UTF-8 as default encoding in Notepad++ manually
Thank you, EarlyOut!The link you posted helped me to solve it in 2 minutes:)
riant.sk | web rie?enia | dizajn | sadnú Vám
Good! I had a feeling that blogger was on the right track.
I have never had any problems with getting NP++ to handle multi-byte characters, but I have always enforced the saving of documents as UTF-8.
Regarding search and replace: run it on all files in a directory and you will find that it is very quick and convenient, without even needing to open any files. It even auto-saves all modified files for you.

Employee Desktop Live Viewer is the fantabulous network activity monitoring tool, which works as a surveillance camera for computers. The tool is called surveillance camera for computers because when it works employees never know about it due to which they continue using computers in their routine manner. For example, if employees have decided a time for playing online games, chatting, shopping, social networking, or any other work, then they continue doing that at the same time, as they are unaware about the fact they are being spied.
The network activity monitoring tool remotely captures employees desktop activities that are displayed at viewer?s PC in real time. The motto of providing images of the employees? activities to the viewer in real time is to help the viewer catch the employees in real time, so that they cannot deny from the fact of wasting time.
There can be times when the viewer is busy doing other task. At that time, s/he will not be able to view employees activities live. Developers of the network activity monitoring tool were aware of this fact that is why they had embedded the feature of offline recording in the software. Using the offline recording feature, employees? activities can be recorded to view later.
The network activity monitoring tool provides full access of employees PC to the viewer. The software can be installed on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2003, and earlier versions to monitor employees? activities. For more information visit: www.networkpcmonitor.com

Hi, I need some help to you, i want to know how can i do this,when after the user login.I want that to put picture besides his name just like the same in the facebook after we login..can you help me please how can i do this.
Welcome  jemz.
Thank you in advance.
Hello there.
Where exactly do you want this image to be displayed?Facebook displays the user's image beside their name in the top-most bar (next to navigation).Are you trying to do the same?
Yes, just like that.can you help me please i have no idea on this.I hope you can help me.thank you in advance.
ok so you need a few things in place before this will happen.
1/ give the user an upload form so they can upload their image.2/ resize the image to fit with your dimensions 3/ store the filename in the database table along with the other user information.4/ query the database to get all the user info including the image name.5/ add the image tag to the users profile and display the image that is stored on your server.
use gravatar.....
Make sure every login is unique, and to make is easier make sure each login only contains characters which are allowed in a valid file name.
I know, like jemz or Cups
then when they upload their image, name it after their user name.
"Hi there jemz, here is your picture []"
if( !isset($_SESSION['username']) )
// send away to login
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
// do some kind of data cleansing here
// disallowing directory traversal attacks
// being aware a clever user could add dots and slashes
// to their original user name
echo "Hi there $username,";
// make sure the file exists
if( file_exists('/user-images/' . $username. '.jpg'))
echo ' here is your picture ';
This is just an incredibly simplified example of how you could go about things ie username === image name plus .jpg, but you have to be very very careful to defend against simple attacks - as my comments hopefully show, I have no idea how clean or "tamper-able" the data getting to your SESSION is.
Let users upload their pics, save the path to the pics in db column, say, image_column
You login query should do something like this:
$sel = select image_column from users_table where username='$user_name' limit 1
$SESSION['pathto_image'] = $row['image_column']
................................................................................................Then in the member area:
$path_to_image = $SESSION['pathto_image']
echo "" anywhere you want the image to appear.
Note these are just code ideas, not actual code.
@spikeZ,@Cups,@tentim...Thank you for giving this idea.okay i will try to make a simple upload form...but i have question what if the uploaded picture is 500x400 and then how can i resize this to display it to 23px or just the same the size in the facebook...Thank you in advance.
Have a look for a simple upload and resize script jemz. There are plenty around and they will upload the picture to your server and then resize it to the width/height you tell them.Whatever you do DO NOT upload a 500px wide picture and then use the browser to squash it down to 23px!!!!
I use phpThumb for such things.

Professor of anthropology and associate dean
Associate dean of the college
First year teaching at Luther: 1984--first as a Spanish teacher.
Recent distinction: Awarded the Dennis M. Jones Distinguished Teaching Professorship in the Humanities for 2006-07.
Field experience: Founded Highland Cultural Research Center (now known as Bear Creek Archaeology) with her husband, David Stanley '77.
Study-abroad destinations: Honduras, Mexico, Nepal, Tanzania, and Guatemala.
Hometown: Rake, Iowa.
As odd as it may seem for a decorated academic, Lori is known for ducking notoriety. In fact, if you drop by her narrow wedge of an office in Koren (she sometimes calls it "the cave"), you'll likely find her working in the dark--to take advantage of the natural light filtering through her vine-covered window.
Assimilating her environs, rather than asserting distinction, has always been central to Lori's work as a cultural and linguistic anthropologist. To complete her dissertation--an ethnography of native speakers of Chiweri, the heritage language of the Iowa and Otoe-Missouria tribes--she spent years photographing, recording, interviewing, and listening to two primary subjects.
"One was 'Grandpa Truman [Dailey],' and the other was 'Uncle Art [Lightfoot],'" she says, explaining that by the time she and her research partner finished their work, the two had earned the honorary titles and relationship dynamics of being granddaughter and niece. Photos of both elders still occupy prime real estate in her office, and the dissertation is now part of an archive at Luther that serves as a resource for students and members of the tribes.
Cultural sensitivity also made it easy for Lori to begin teaching Luther students abroad, first in the mountains of Nepal (five trips, before the Maoist uprising), then in Guatemala (one Paideia course), and most recently among the Maasai people of northern Tanzania (six trips and counting).
"Having students engage in academic study in other cultural settings is very important," she says, citing the impact of her own undergrad archaeology experience in Honduras and Mexico, in addition to the Navajo reservations of the American Southwest. "There are things you just can't understand about a culture until you live in it."
Naturally, Lori used the Jones Professorship to encourage cultural awareness and respect. Initiatives included bringing a Tanzanian Maasai couple to Luther to perform traditional song and dance, and discuss issues of education. She also hopes to help young faculty develop courses overseas and shake up discussion on campus by exploring the culture shock some Luther students experience when they return from studying abroad.
Still at home in Iowa (she has a scale model of her dad's first John Deere tractor on her office windowsill), Lori credits her agricultural upbringing with her success in unfamiliar territory. "I never thought about how comfortable I was being outside and around animals," for example, "until a student on one trip confided that she was terrified of the domestic cattle and other livestock valuable to the societies we were studying in Africa," Lori says. "It's just second nature to me."

The Mets are off today before beginning a road trip that will take them to Milwaukee and Pittsburgh in a single week. Alas, the story that appears to be overshadowing the series win New York posted this weekend against Atlanta- not to mention that a functioning bullpen would have given the Mets a sweep- is the fan protest on Friday over the prospect of dealing Jose Reyes. The fans, as they should be, are against it.
In the midst of a conversation with the always amazin' Matthew Artus on Twitter, he brought up the point that the Tom Seaver trade accelerated the decline of attendance at Shea Stadium back at a comparable period in team history. I wondered if that had been the case. It certainly makes sense, and would have been my guess as well. As always, we can go to the numbers to test out the theory.
The answer? It sure looks that way. First, the superficial numbers: the Mets drew 1,066,825 in 1977, the year Seaver was traded, down from 1,468,752 in 1976. Now part of that was the 1976 Mets won 86 games, while the 1977 Mets won just 66. Another is that thanks to doubleheaders, the Mets played 82 games at home in 1976 (strange, right?), but only had six doubleheaders, making for 76 home dates. In 1977, doubleheaders meant that 81 games were played in just 72 home dates.
The average attendance per date in 1976? 19,326. In 1977? 14,817.
But drill down deeper, and the Seaver effect becomes clear. After all, the Mets were 8-9 in April and 8-21 in May, so virtually no one went to 1977 Mets games before Seaver left believing they were witnessing a winning team.
In the 24 home dates the Mets had before Tom Seaver was traded, they drew 15,877 fans per date. In the 48 home dates after Seaver departed, they drew 14,287. And it is worth remembering, the weather gets better after June 15, the kids are out of school- this is likelier a bigger drop relative to what they'd have drawn with Seaver than it seems at first blush.
Even before Seaver left, his starts had a demonstrable impact on attendance. In Seaver starts, the 1977 Mets drew 24,209 per date. In non-Seaver starts, but with Seaver on the team, the 1977 Mets drew 13,685 per date.
And that's right around what they'd draw for the remainder of 1977, post-Seaver. The number is right in line with the average per-date attendance in 1978 of 13,799 over 73 home dates for a similarly awful team. In 1979, just before ownership changed hands, the Mets drew 11,433 per date in 69 dates at Shea Stadium. Of course, Jerry Koosman was gone by then as well, along with virtually anyone of note.
Now, making apples-to-apples comparisons to the current Mets is impossible, since the National League changed attendance figures from number of people in the park to number of tickets sold. But a large portion of the fan base attends games to see Jose Reyes play. And to suggest that dealing Reyes would have a demonstrable impact on attendance doesn't seem like a stretch-arguably a greater impact, since Reyes is an everyday player. In other words, every home date is a chance to watch Jose Reyes.
Remember, that isn't a separate issue from the on-field questions. It has been reported that every 200,000 fans at Citi Field are worth around $25 million to the Mets. Put simply, that's around $11 million more than the Mets have spent on draft bonuses for the last three seasons combined. Put that money into adding some over-slot talent in later rounds, and the Mets get to have their Reyes and rebuild, too.

Rich People Wearing Disguises
Because I can't look at another Halloween costume without having flashbacks of Snooki, here's an assload of celebrities in costumes over the weekend that range from the random (Harrison Ford as a nun.) to the hilarious (Paris Hilton's parents as cops. Ha! Get it? Because their daughter got arrested and their money bent the law to her favor. COMEDY!).
Other highlights include:
Tara Reid as Heidi Montag if someone left her on top of the stove.
Ye Ole Wonk-Boobs.
Leonardo DiCaprio apparently wanting to set his face on fire.
Anne Hathway in whatever the hell this is.
And Amanda Seyfried clearly trying to give me a hint. (I'm in.)
Trick or Treat.

'Pen can't hold Mets after Fernandez's stellar start
NEW YORK -- It may be a no-decision, but that can't erase the risk and the reward.
The Marlins were bold enough to promote prized prospect Jose Fernandez well ahead of schedule, and they sat back Sunday and watched as he set a club record for strikeouts in a Major League debut.
Fernandez, just 20 years old, stifled the Mets Sunday, retiring the first 10 batters he faced and leaving with a two-run lead. Fernandez struck out eight and allowed just three hits, but the Miami bullpen couldn't seal the deal in a 4-3 loss to the Mets.
Still, in the aftermath, the focus was on Miami's phenom and his astoundingly bright future.
"I'm disappointed that the team didn't win. I don't really care about me," he said. "Every time I go out there, my job is to give the team a chance to win. We didn't win this time. Next time, we will."
Miami had control of the game from the third inning all the way to the ninth. But that's where it fell apart. Closer Steve Cishek, who converted 15-of-18 save opportunities in 2012, came into a one-run game Sunday, and he put the outcome in jeopardy by hitting Ruben Tejada with a pitch.
That play happened with one out, and Kirk Nieuwenhuis made things even more interesting by dropping a hit into left field. Tejada charged to third on the play -- allowing Nieuwenhuis to move to second -- and moments later Marlon Byrd chased both runners home with another hit to left field.
The Marlins had more than twice as many hits (13) as the Mets (six) on Sunday, but they batted 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners on base. New York only had four hits when the fateful ninth inning began.
"It's incredibly disappointing," said a somber Cishek of the sudden reversal of fortune. "It's all on me. It's my job to go out there and shut it down. I hate losing. I'll do anything to help this team win."
Fernandez became the youngest Marlin to pitch in the Majors, and he'll go down in history as the third-youngest player in franchise history. Only Miguel Cabrera and Giancarlo Stanton were younger at the time of their debut than Fernandez, who skipped Double-A and Triple-A entirely.
And he never missed a beat. Fernandez, who went 14-1 with a 1.75 ERA in 25 Class A starts last year, was just as dominant against big league hitters. Fernandez got All-Star David Wright to fly out and strike out on Sunday, and he held the Mets scoreless for the first four innings.
"Fernandez pitched great, deserved to win that game. That one hurts," said manager Mike Redmond. "We talked about what he can do. He's got a great fastball. For a 20-year-old kid, he's got some great secondary pitches. He showed a good changeup, curveball, slider. And he competes. I think that was obviously a huge test for him and a great first outing. Tough to lose that one."
The Marlins owned the early innings and pushed opposing starter Aaron Laffey to his limit. Miami had two hits in each of the first two innings but couldn't push any baserunners home. That changed in the third, when Justin Ruggiano's gap double scored Greg Dobbs all the way from first base.
Two more doubles -- one by Chris Valaika and one by Donovan Solano -- gave Fernandez a three-run cushion after four innings, but Miami never broke the game open. The Marlins loaded the bases but couldn't score in the fifth, and they stranded two runners in the seventh.
"We had so many opportunities to score runs in that game," said Redmond. "I think we were 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. It seemed like every inning we had first-and-second or second-and-third. We just couldn't punch any more runs across to give us a little bit of cushion."
Fernandez finally allowed a hit in the fourth inning -- a one-out single by veteran Daniel Murphy -- but managed to escape that rally unscathed. He wasn't as fortunate in the fifth, as backup catcher Anthony Recker broke up his shutout with a run-scoring double into the left-field corner.
"That guy was everything everybody talked about," said Mets manager Terry Collins. "Outstanding stuff. But we hung in there and we didn't let the game get away, which I thought was the biggest factor."
Fernandez, the 11th overall selection in the 2011 First-Year Player Draft, said after the game that he felt like he had been pitching a Spring Training game.
"I was actually more nervous when I was warming up in the bullpen," he said of performing at Citi Field. "I think after the first pitch, I kind got it in and said, 'All right.' First start in the big leagues. I wasn't trying to think it was a big deal. I was just trying to be out there and trying to do the best I can."
Juan Pierre, who went into Saturday's game with more hits (2,146) than the rest of Miami's starting lineup combined (1,165), said that he was present for the big league debuts of Clayton Kershaw and Dontrelle Willis, among other phenoms.
All things considered, said Pierre, Fernandez fit among the most impressive debuts he had seen. Even from all the way out in left field, Pierre could see what makes Fernandez special.
"You can tell the stuff he had, the swings guys were taking off him," said Pierre. "They didn't look as comfortable. The first time you see a guy, you never know. And the second or third time through, he was real effective. It's one start, but you can see where the potential is in him. He's 20 years old. That's big, doing that at 20 years old. Hopefully he can build on it and keep going for us."

Reading girl returns to restore a classic
Cycling UK Cycling Development Officer Javed Saddique has launched a new project in my home town of Reading. The scheme, which is based at Reading University helps to teach people basic bike maintenance and renovation skills to fix up a second-hand bikes.
My dream was to own a 'racer'
It all started when I kept on gazing at others people bikes 'checking them out', I found I was particularly drawn to racing bikes, the lightness, the speed! It was already too late, I wanted one long before I ever admitted it to myself, but knew I would never be able to afford a new one!
I have always been a keen leisure cyclist, I have a Ridgeback, complete with a basket and flowers, which has always been good enough. My 'ladies' bike gets me from A to B and on a few trains, through a few stations, that is all. However, the more you cycle the more you feel the need to own a whole fleet of bikes!
What more could I ask for? Lots of new knowledge, skills and a new bike, all for a small donation!
Laura Brooks
Volunteer Support Officer
I thought about trying to get one through a police auction, but you can't go and look at it before you place your bid, and how are you supposed to know what condition it is in, and if it is in bad condition I didn't really have the skills did to do up or even fix a broken bike.
Javed's project recycles bikes which had become useless, forgotten items, left behind by Reading University students. They are collected up and used to give people first hand experience of the skills to they need to fix up and renovate a bike
I was given the chance to learn to clean chains, pump up tyres and change wheels. But that is not the best part…once the bike has been revamped and given a new lease of life you will then have the chance, for a small donation, to walk away with the newly refurbished bike, which you have just restored!
I attended a maintenance course for a few weeks, and at the end I was able to ride away with a 'new' racer for a small donation to the project. I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous, white, ladies Peugeot, and I am completely in love with it and feel confident about my new skills!
To find out more email email@example.com who works in partnership with Cycling UK, Reading Borough Council and Reading University, helping more people to get cycling!

HOUSTON - Many citizens have demanded answers about why there has been a delay in getting their new voter registration cards.
One resident told Local 2 her old card had expired, and she's concerned because a new one hasn't come in the mail.
Fred King with the Harris County Tax Assessor's Office said the reason is because of a continuing battle over the redrawing of state district maps. King said voter registration cards simply cannot be mailed until the redistricting fight is over and the federal courts have approved the boundaries of the districts and the precincts.
Texas holds the second largest number of delegates in the presidential race, but until the maps are drawn and approved, no primary election will be held.
The Texas Attorney General's office and Coalition of Minority groups had a deal on the State Senate maps, but that would apply only to the 2012 elections. Officials said eight other groups continued to contest the Texas House and Congressional districts.
A federal judge recently told republican leaders to plan as though the state's primary will be May 29.

Ham steak is my favorite meal. I'd spotted this recipe in the BGE Cookbook and was looking forward to making it. Then Griffin posted pictures from when he cooked it and his version came out way way too hot. I have a feeling what made his so hot is he used a Serrano chili pepper instead of some of the Jalapenos called for in the recipe. Jalapenos measure 3,500-8,000 on the Scoville scale of hotness. Serrano chiles measure 7,000-25,000. That is 3-8X stronger. My version of the Cherry Cola glaze was a wonderful balance of sweet & spicy. When it first hit your mouth the primary sensation was sweet but when the sweet faded away you were left with a peppery hotness. The sauce was a wonderful compliment to the ham steak. This recipe is quite easy to make and I can see it becoming a regular dish around here.
The glaze used Cherry Coke, grenadine sauce, dark brown sugar, corn starch & diced jalapeno chilis.
The Cherry Coke, brown sugar & diced jalapeno chilis are simmered for 10 minutes.
The grenadine & cornstarch are mixed together.
The grenadine & cornstarch are added to the Cherry Coke mixture and are mixed & simmered for another minute.
The glaze mixture was taken off the heat and placed in a food processor where it was blended for 30 seconds. The resulting glaze was thick, sticky & smelled wonderful.
The ham steaks were seasoned with olive oil & black pepper. They have just finished cooking on their first side at 400 degrees direct.
The ham steaks were glazed after they were flipped & cooked for 5 minutes on the second side.
The ham steaks were brought into the Kitchen where they were glazed again & were served with some spicy Southwestern Rice.
The ham steaks were really really good. The remaining glaze was used for dipping. The sauce was a nice blend of sweet & hot & paired very well with the ham. This one is a keeper.

HOUSTON - Officials said a four-alarm fire destroyed a hotel which was still under construction early Tuesday morning in northwest Harris County.
The fire broke out around 3 a.m. Tuesday in the 13200 block of West FM 1960 and Highway 290.
Residents of the Best Western hotel next door were evacuated as a result.
"We heard banging on the door around 3 a.m., and cops were screaming for us to get out because the building next door was on fire," said Ross Adams, who was staying at the hotel with his wife. "We tried to get our car, but didn't have time, the heat was that intense. When we got to a safe place we got a good view of the fire and the roof was burning and you could see the embers falling and hear the popping. Everyone was scrambling to get out."
Every guest inside of the hotel got out unharmed.
The burning hotel was under construction and less than 20 feet away from the hotel.
A Cy-Fair firefighter was taken to the hospital after suffering a burn on the neck. He's listed in stable condition and is expected to be fine.
Fire crews used the Best Western parking lot to set up a ladder truck and shoot water on the flames to put out the hotspots.
The Harris County Fire Marshal's Office is investigating the fire's cause.

Jo Whaley: Theater of Insects
16 May, 2009 - 27 Sep, 2009
Including approximately 40 photographs, along with a selection of insect cases and glassed archaeology trays, Theater of Insects seamlessly connects art with science. The photographs show mesmerizing scenes with vibrantly colored insects, artfully placed against weathered, manmade backgrounds. The result is a compelling marriage of natural and artificial, science and art.
While the specimens in Jo Whaley's images are real, the backgrounds are imaginary, inspired by the old dioramas found in Natural History Museums. By creating carefully crafted, theatrically staged sets, Whaley invites the viewer to engage with the actors—in this case, insects—allowing their beauty to be seen in unexpected ways.
Special thanks to the San Diego Natural History Museum, for their collaboration on this exhibition.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/10/2012 (1782 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
WINNIPEG Blue Bombers head coach Tim Burke has asked his players to turn those frowns upside down.
Heading into Montreal to meet the 8-5 Alouettes on Monday, the 3-10 Bombers have a monster task in front of them and Burke figures a it's time to try some positive reinforcement.
"When you're 3-10, there's tremendous pressure on you to win," Burke said after Friday's practice. "We're all human, we put so much pressure on ourselves. I'm just trying to take that off of them."
The Alouettes are quarterbacked by the Canadian Football League's best passer in Anthony Calvillo, who has led his team to a scoring average of 27.7 points per game. Meanwhile, the Bombers have had more points scored against them than any other team, an average of 31.2 per game, and are the only CFL team not to register a win on the road at 0-6.
"There's been so much of that pressure put on them. When you put too much pressure on yourself, people tend not to react the way they want to react," Burke said. "If you just cut loose and have fun, we'll just see what happens."
Right tackle Shannon Boatman said the team will take that advice to heart.
"If we go out there with the right mindset and the right focus, we should be able to take care of business," Boatman said. "It may not be the start of the five-game winning streak that we need to get to the playoffs, but we just have to start with Montreal."
-- Import O-lineman Lee Barbiasz, one of the three new players added by the Bombers on Thursday to the practice roster, attended Thursday's practice then reportedly told staff "this ain't for me" and left the team.
Was it the 3-10 record or the minus-3 with freezing rain and winds gusting to 60 kilometres per hour?
"He said it (football) wasn't that important to him anymore. I guess he got up here and had second thoughts," Burke said.
Barbiasz was released Aug. 31 by the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars and received an offer by the Bombers Sept. 18. On Sept. 24 he tweeted that he was about to "just hit the reset button on my left and start over new with everything."
-- Each of 3-10 Winnipeg's top three quarterbacks on the depth chart have a win -- Alex Brink on July 26 (23-22 over Edmonton), Joey Elliott on Aug. 16 (32-25 over Hamilton) and Buck Pierce (34-12 over Hamilton).
Since Pierce is out this week with a concussion, missing his ninth game this season, Elliott has the chance to be the first of the three pivots to get a second win.
