Detecting internal user threats in the Big Data eco-system is challenging and cumbersome. Many organizations monitor internal usage of the Big Data eco-system using a set of alerts. This is not a scalable process given the increase in the number of alerts with the accelerating growth in data volume and user base. Organizations are increasingly leveraging machine learning to monitor only those data elements that are sensitive and critical, autonomously establish monitoring policies, and to detect...

You know you need the cloud, but you're hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You're looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you're concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

DevOps is under attack because developers don't want to mess with infrastructure. They will happily own their code into production, but want to use platforms instead of raw automation. That's changing the landscape that we understand as DevOps with both architecture concepts (CloudNative) and process redefinition (SRE). Rob Hirschfeld's recent work in Kubernetes operations has led to the conclusion that containers and related platforms have changed the way we should be thinking about DevOps and...

When shopping for a new data processing platform for IoT solutions, many development teams want to be able to test-drive options before making a choice. Yet when evaluating an IoT solution, it's simply not feasible to do so at scale with physical devices.

Much awaited release of Eclipse with JDK7 is now over, Eclipse has announced release of version Indigo 3.7.1 which will support JDK7.though I already have downloaded Netbeans with JDK7 support I was eagerly waiting for my favorite java development IDE to comes with java7 support. I am expecting this to support all new java7 features including automatic resource management, string in the switch and multiple-cache block in exception handling. You can download the new Eclipse 3.7.1 version from here. You can also update your existing eclipse IDE with new feature from Menu-->Help-->Check for
There is not much in this release except JDK7 feature, no new feature has been introduced which will probably be released in either 3.8 or 4.2. Java community is still embracing JDK7 but sooner or later it will adopt it and my feeling is that it will happen very soon because it contains the similar features which JDK 1.5 was contained though not that significant but still pretty useful for day 2 day work.

Reviews forPeach Crisp
My Review
Average Rating
"I tried tis recipe with fresh peaches. Too much oatmeal, not enough peaches."
"Been making this for 15 years. Love it!!!"
"This is an amazing recipe! If we could give it 10 stars, we would!"
"All I can say is yummmy! Loved this recipe. I used fresh picked orchard peaches which made it even better. The crust was delicious and filling was a great consistency. Topping had a bit to much oats in it for me but it was still delicious. Next time I will probably go with 1 c instead."
"My 4 year old helped me make this, it was super easy for us to make together! Great Mommy-Daughter time! The Crumble smelled good and tasted great! Yum Yum!"
"We did not much care for this. Really did not have much of a peach flavor. The only thing we could taste was oatmeal."
"I love anything with peaches and this was yummy to my tummy:-). I don't particularly like anything too sweet; I like to taste my food first and let the condiments enhance the flavor of the dish. With that said, I used a can of lite peaches and the other was a can of non-lite peaches (regular). The cup of sugar that goes in with the syrup was reduced to half a cup. NOTE: mix the cornstarch and flour together in separate bowl. Add enough of the room temp syrup from the peaches to incorporate the flour/cornstarch mixture. When mixed together, dump everything into the saucepan holding the rest of the syrup and turn heat on. This will prevent the cornstarch to lump up. When done, we ate it with a little vanilla ice cream. The only change I would do next time is reduce the sugar in the crust as well and that's only because for me it was still a little too sweet (sensitive taste buds:-)). By the way, if you're wondering about the crust, it just adds an extra buttery taste to dish. In my opinion, you can skip the crust and still end up with a dee-lish dish that will be devoured by all:-)"
"wonderful recipe!!! so nice to have the crust on the bottom too..and its easy!!"
"I had never made a peach crisp recipe with a crust, so I was doubtful. But, I made it exactly as written, but used my frozen peaches. Oh, my goodness!! This was absolutely delicious!!!! It even tasted better the next day!!! Thanks for the recipe!!"
"Loved the crust!!! Delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!"

The Difficulty of Religious Communication: Brother, Born Again

After ten years of separation, his sister, feeling cut off from her brother, seeks to understand how this could happen and hopefully reunite the family.
Oh, and she brings a documentary film crew with her as well.
Then although 21 years ago, it's reality TV. Once a camera is introduced, it's no longer reality.
It's a reality of sorts. We see what he does when he's fronting for his faith, she for her sexuality.
There is truth to be extracted from theater, but does reality TV even qualify as theater?
Or is it just a study of bad actors?
- Tom Van Dyke at: July 14, 2014 at 1:32 AM said...
Didn't you wonder, where are they now? Epilogue, via Ira Glass 1n 2000:
In the eight years since we first put this story of the air, Marc has left Alaska to medical school in Texas. He's now in his first year of residency. He is still a Christian. He is still affiliated with The Farm. In the eight years since Julia made her film, she's gotten married-- to a man, a rabbi, in fact. They have two kids.
Go figure.
OTOH, I have no idea where 2014 might find them. Life is funny that way. People are funny that way. It all could have gone anywhichway and surprised none of us.
Thx for the report, Michael.
- Ben Thomas at: July 14, 2014 at 5:22 AM said...
Hello Michael. Many thanks for this post, and for turning me on to the documentary. As a former Born Again Pentecostal, I experienced a strange and at times uncomfortable sympathy with both Pimsleur siblings, having played the roles of frustrated believer and baffled skeptic in my own family to many of the same results (or lack thereof).
I'll toss this question out to the thread: could anyone recommend a resource (mono, article or otherwise) that addresses conversion angst in the Jewish community? Particularly conversion to Christianity. I'm developing a character for a novel who was born to secular Jewish parents and jumps camp at university, and would like to substantiate that process with good scholarship.
Thank you once again for the great report, and to everyone here at the blog. Even for an amateur who's not active in the field, the posts here are frequently informative and a delight.
- Michael Utzinger at: July 14, 2014 at 6:35 AM said...
Tom, you're exactly right about the cameras and reality TV. These issues always dog me, and I struggled with this as I thought about the film. At first, I was not sure I liked the film at all. Nonetheless, I think it is a film not just reality TV. In other words, Pimsleur has constructed something to make meaning, religious, sexual, and familial. The rub is that she is constructing something about herself, and, therefore, this documentary is more along the lines of autobiography. She has more insight into herself and family than we do, but, at times, we might see more than she does (because she is too close). I actually think the lost opportunities of the film (not to mention the consistent emotional restraint of Julia and Marc) lend to the authenticity of the project. In other words, while they both agreed to this "unreal" process, Pimsleur's soft touch as a director helped reveal things that I doubt she intended.
- Michael Utzinger at: July 14, 2014 at 6:53 AM said...
Ben, start with Lila Corwin Berman's _Speaking of Jews: Rabbis, Intellectuals, and the Creation of an American Public Identity_, (Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 2009). Kevin Schultz did a nice review of the book on this blog as well. This book will not necessarily get you to the average person/character, but it will help frame the feelings of in-between-ness that frame the emotions and concerns of community leaders. Others on this blog will certainly have even better choices. Michael
- Tom Van Dyke at: July 17, 2014 at 7:32 PM said...
The rub is that she is constructing something about herself, and, therefore, this documentary is more along the lines of autobiography.
A strong point, Michael.
Although it may be more of a snapshot of a phase she was going through--or a self-mythologizing--about who she "is," considering how perpendicular to it her life story actually turns out.
Again, what I meant by "fronting" for her sexuality, or identity as an intellectual or artist, whathaveyou, more a chronicle of momentary self-delusion than one of genuine self-discovery.
[The brother's the one who remains who he is, more or less.]
Aside to Ben Thomas: I've been told converting from Judaism to Catholicism is somewhat understandable, but converting to Protestantism, that's a head-scratcher. Since this was a WASP nation for the longest time, Jews and Catholics often ended up together on the same couch, with Sidney, Jugdish, Mohammet, and Clayton.
[This isn't to say your second wife couldn't be a shiksa, but conversion was not part of the deal.]

One of the true negatives of Thursday night games is seeing key players, often stars, unable to participate because of the short turnaround.
That looks like the case this week for the Arizona Cardinals, whose quarterback, Carson Palmer, has been in the NFL's concussion protocol. And with the Cardinals at 1-3, just like their opponent, San Francisco, this is no time to be short-handed. Particularly at that position.
Coach Bruce Arians said Wednesday the quarterback has not been cleared to play. Arians said Palmer would not make the trip.
Backup Drew Stanton will make the 13th career start of his 10-year NFL career. He went 5-3 as a starter when Palmer went down with a season-ending knee injury in 2014.
The 49ers have dropped three straight since an opening victory, but they will have their regular signal caller in Blaine Gabbert. Though Gabbert hardly has been a sensation for San Francisco.
"Short week or not, you can't skip any part of your normal preparation," Gabbert explains. "If anything, you have to do more, especially from the physical aspect to get your body feeling the way it should by Sunday, which happens to be Thursday this week. And then from a mental aspect ... it's just everything is sped up."

Saint Leo, Fla. (June 7, 2007) - Saint Leo softball player Erin Brunt (Sr., Clearwater, Fla.) has been named the female recipient of the Sunshine State Conference Sportsmanship Award, it was announced today by Commissioner Michael J. Marcil. Brunt will be recognized this Saturday at the SSC's Hall of Fame Banquet in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
The values of good sportsmanship and good citizenship were considered in the selection process for the SSC Sportsmanship Award. Voting was conducted among the league's directors of athletics, senior woman administrators, sports information directors and faculty athletics representatives.
Brunt won the women's award following her final season of competition at Saint Leo. A catcher, she was a four-time All-Sunshine State Conference performer and earned Honorable Mention All-SSC this season. Off the field, Brunt earned a 3.83 grade point average as an elementary education major.
Brunt was a team leader through her performance on the field, as well as in the dugout. She was respected by teammates and opponents, and has embodied Saint Leo University's core values of respect, integrity, community, excellence, personal development and responsible stewardship.
Active in the community, Brunt founded "Project San Ann" to help families in the university's community of San Antonio, Fla. The project involved a number of Saint Leo student-athletes who went around the community collecting clothing, household appliances and other necessities for needy families in the area. Five families received assistance from Project San Ann's inaugural collection.
A native of Clearwater, Fla., Brunt has also participated in the Breast Cancer Walk the past four years. She provides instruction for local youth softball players at various clinics.
University of Tampa baseball player Chris Rosenbaum was the male recipient of the SSC Sportsmanship Award. Brunt and Rosenbaum will now be submitted to the NCAA for consideration for its Sportsmanship Award.

The purpose is to explore ways to make development with PHP, faster, more effecient, more reliable etc.
Response to "What's so good about OOP?"No further discussion required after voostind's excellent response.
What do you think about design patterns?Some pattern discussion leading to how to create Singletons in PHP4
Event Handling Classes in PHP (aka Hijacking PHP's error handlerIn reality, this is not the way to do things - error handling mechanisms tend to be slower that the "normal channels" in most programming languages plus, as you'll see, things end up a mess. But fun anyway... And serializing objects to pass the the error handler is a useful hack for real error handling in PHP4.
Database Abstraction Pointless?The pros and cons of database abstraction layers
PEAR QuickForm leading into discussion of IteratorsBeginning with thoughts for and against PEAR::HTML_Quickform then changing to a fascinating discussion of Iterators in PHP, which points to the root of what PHP is as a technology
Forms, fields, filtersDifferent approaches to using OOP when dealing with forms, a critical chunk of any web application
Separate Logic / Presentation without TemplatesOn the seperation that gets PHP programmers arguing as well as discussion of implementing MVC in "raw PHP" (i.e. without a framework providing the structure for you)

How to make OO code not bloated in PHP?Practical tips before going OOP-wild in PHP
Best Practices?Development strategies / methodologies used by SPF members for developing PHP applications
Front Controllers, Page Controllers, Intercepting FiltersExperiments and thoughts on how to fit these patterns together in PHP. Even Google thinks it's worth a read: Intercepting filters
MVCP - MVC missing a layer?Thoughts, doubts, concerns and advice on MVC in PHP spanning no less than five pages. Some deep insight to what MVC is (or isn't).
Object Oriented Programming and PHPPHP has evolved from a pure procedural language to one where the Object Oriented and Procedural paradigms co-exist happily. Many PHP developers learn a procedural style first and historically the majority of online material relating to PHP takes this focus. This a selection of PHP specific aimed at a PHP developer wishing to explore OOP.

Recommended ReadingBooks, magazines and online resources. Note: individual online articles are not referenced here, just sites with repositories of relevant info.
BooksBruce Eckel: Thinking in JavaHas a very solid lead-in to OOP which, although written for Java, can be mostly applied to PHP as well, making decent in depth discussion for beginners. Also nice is it's free to read online or you can pick it up from Amazon here
<snip/>Unfinished book on design patterns. Originally planned to use Java but most examples work with Python, bringing a dynamic aspect to it that's relevant to PHP
GOF: Design PatternsA must read. Has become a modern-day classic on software development - the missing link on OOP. Provides the core design patterns which can be applied in most any programming language.
Martin Fowler: Patterns of Enterprise Application ArchitectureOne of the "new wave" books on patterns, addressing issues directly relevant to web applications. Another must read
Martin Fowler: Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing CodeA book that will improve a developer's code quality faster than any other. Everything from how large methods should be to how to safely put right a completely mis-designed application.
[BlueJ Editor and [url=http://www.bluej.org/objects-first/]Objects First](http://www.bluej.org/index.html)Java: learning by doing - principles can be applied to any language with an object model.
<snip/>Provides a discussion of sixteen design patterns which are relevant to web application development, while threading refactoring and unit testing into the narrative. Uses both PHP4 and PHP5 as reference examples. A more in detailed review.
Head First Design PatternsA different way of learning patterns, using a visually-rich formatted book. The book uses Java examples.
php|architectExcellent US-based PHP magazine bridging the gap between books and typical online articles - much depth while to the point. Distributed in electronic and print formats.
International PHP MagazineRun out of Germany, this gets input from many of PHP's core developers so has an inside track there but is still working to establish itself. Same company also produces the for-print German PHP Magazine (which has completely different content)

Rotation hopeful Milone tagged for three runs
Burns scores three times, while Moss, Reddick, Martinez, Sogard deliver RBIs
MESA, Ariz. -- Justin Ruggiano and Anthony Rizzo combined for three runs, Albert Almora delivered a tiebreaking RBI single and Mike Olt smacked a two-run home run to lift the Cubs to a 6-4 victory Tuesday over an Athletics split squad.
Ruggiano hit a RBI double in the first and a two-run homer in the third, driving in Rizzo both times, and Almora delivered an RBI single with one out in the eighth as the Cubs won for the second straight game.
Kyle Hendricks, the Cubs' Minor League Pitcher of the Year after going 13-4 at Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa, gave up one run on two hits and three walks over two innings in his first Cactus League start. The right-hander walked three batters in only four of his 27 starts last season, and posted a 1.058 WHIP for the season.
"It's not what you're looking for, but it was one of those days," Hendricks said of the walks. "My mechanics were off, even in the bullpen warming up. I couldn't get a fastball where I wanted to today to save my life."
Hendricks walked Billy Burns to open the Athletics' first, and one out later, he stole second. Josh Donaldson walked and Burns swiped third to set up Brandon Moss' RBI single. Burns now has seven stolen bases this spring.
"He's quick," Hendricks said of Burns. "But honestly, at this point, it's good at this point to see a guy like that on the bases. I got to work on a lot of stuff -- hold and pick, slide stepping, hold them on at second base. Yeah, he stole two bases but at least I was able to work on a lot of stuff and that will help me out down the road when I do get fast guys on base."
The Cubs tied the game with two outs in the first as Rizzo doubled and scored on Ruggiano's double. The two combined again with two outs in the third when Rizzo singled and Ruggiano followed with his home run. Rizzo batted .189 off left-handed pitchers last year and was 2-for-2 against the A's Tommy Milone.
Milone, who is trying to win a spot in Oakland's rotation, gave up three runs on five hits over three innings.
Josh Reddick hit an RBI single with two outs in the Oakland fifth off Jonathan Sanchez to drive in Burns, who had walked and advanced on Moss' single. The Athletics tied the game on Eric Sogard's RBI single in the sixth, driving in Sam Fuld, who had doubled.
Matt Szczur was hit by a pitch with one out in the eighth, stole second and scored on Almora's single to center off Michael Ynoa. Olt followed Almora with his first spring home run.
Up next: Right-hander Jarrod Parker, under consideration for his first career Opening Day start, is slated to take the mound on Wednesday for a road contest with the Brewers in Phoenix, beginning at 12:05 p.m. PT. Parker will look to build on a forgettable Cactus League debut, when he allowed five runs on six hits with one walk and two strikeouts.

What Is Tau Pi Phi?
Founded in 1931 on Wittenberg's campus, Tau Pi Phi is a business and economics honors society for students of high quality academic achievement. As an honors society, the purpose is to promote scholarship in the study of business and economics, encourage the practice of the highest ethical canons in business, and foster the social nature of business. Each year, students who meet certain academic criteria are initiated into the honors society, and earn membership that provides them with opportunities before and after graduation.
What Does Tau Pi Phi Do?
Each Spring, Tau Pi Phi will send representatives to the annual case competition. The case competition gives our members the opportunity to showcase their skills in business against other chapters of Tau Pi Phi from nearby schools. The competition is spread out over one weekend, and the members are given approximately one day to solve the case, and present their work on the following day to a panel of judges who determine the winners of the competition. Wittenberg's chapter of Tau Pi Phi has an award-winning past in the case competition, claiming the two-person and three-person group first place prize numerous times. Ultimately, the competition provides members of Tau Pi Phi the opportunity to learn through experience, and put their classroom knowledge to the test.

FRASER, Mich. - A Fraser man is charged with a two year felony among other charges for allegedly running a kitten over in a parking lot on purpose.
According to witnesses, Justin Samuel Coppola, 20, of Fraser, was in the parking lot of the Woodhaven Meijers when he tossed a kitten under his car and attempted to run it over.
Police say Coppola then took the kitten, drove away at a high rate of speed and threw it out of his moving vehicle on King Road near Millbury Drive.
Coppola was arrested after concerned witnesses called police.
Prosecutors are charging Coppola with torturing an animal, a two-year felony, animal cruelty and reckless driving -- both misdemeanors.
Police were unable to find the kitten and its condition is not known.
Coppola was arraigned Friday in 33rd District Court and bond was set at $50,000.

Third International Conference on the Development and Assessment of Intercultural Competence (ICC 2012)
Intercultural Competence and Foreign/Second Language Immersive Environments
About the Conference
Intercultural competence is [the ability] "to see relationships between different cultures - both internal and external to a society - and to mediate, that is interpret each in terms of the other, either for themselves or for other people." It also encompasses the ability to critically or analytically understand that one's "own and other cultures'" perspective is culturally determined rather than natural.
—Byram, M. (2000). Assessing intercultural competence in language teaching. Sprogforum, 18 (6), 8-13.
Globalization, having brought individuals in contact with one another at an unprecedented scale, has also brought forth a general challenge to traditionally recognized boundaries of nation, language, race, gender, and class. For those living within this rapidly changing social landscape, intercultural competence–as defined by Michael Byram above–is a necessary skill, and the cultivation of such intercultural individuals falls on the shoulders of today's educators.
The conference aims to bring researchers and practitioners across languages, levels, and settings to discuss and share research, theory, and best practices and to foster meaningful professional dialogue on issues related to the development and assessment of Intercultural Competence in a foreign or second language.
Conference Organizers
ICC 2012 was organized by the Center for Educational Resources in Culture, Language and Literacy (CERCLL).

While the country's drought conditions are significantly better than last year, the latest "Drought Monitor" shows that drought is tightening its grip in parched states, especially the dry Southwest.
Extreme or worse drought dominates from Nebraska to Texas, and though currently the worst of the drought is confined to the western Corn Belt, forecasters expect it to trek further eastward.
These extreme drought conditions led one Texas blogger to call it the "drought-ocalpse," and with cattle numbers in Texas driven to record lows this year by the drought, it's easy to see why.
The drought is also forcing New Mexico into a state of emergency, with 98 percent of the state in severe or worse drought. Byron Morton, meteorologist with KOAT News 7 out of Albuquerque, N.M., explained that the state is deep in drought.
"It's the worst since record keeping began 118 years ago," Morton said.
Some towns in the state are running out of water, fast. Read more here.
The drought isn't just confined to the Southwest. It extends to California and Oregon to the west and is expanding further east, too. Radio Iowa reports that in Iowa, many are calling July's dry spell a "flash drought," though Iowa State University Extension climatologist, Elwyn Taylor, disagrees.
Around 20 percent of the state is experiencing abnormal dryness, and says that right now it's too early to panic.
"And this is a county-by-county deal, so there'll be some counties in drought. We don't know this will be the whole corn belt like it was last year," Taylor says. "The trend for the nation this year for corn yield would be 160 bushels per acre. And so, if we ended up with a yield of 144 or less — then we're in a drought."
All states east of the Mississippi River have been spared from the wrath of this year's drought, and at least for now, forecasters expect it to stay that way.

PRINCETON, N.J. -The University of Pennsylvania men's basketball team fell victim to quick Princeton starts in both halves on Saturday night at Jadwin Gym, and the result was a 65-53 Tigers victory in the Ivy League opener for both teams.
The Ivy League's preseason favorites, Princeton (7-7, 1-0 Ivy) answered the game's opening basket -- a three-pointer by sophomore Greg Louis -- with an 11-1 run to gain a lead it would never relinquish. The Tigers were up, 31-22, at the half and began the second period with an 11-point run that made the score 42-22. Penn got within 10 points on two occasions, but never got within single digits.
Freshman Tony Hicks was Penn's leader on Saturday, coming off the bench for 16 points, six rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes. Classmate Darien Nelson-Henry added 11 points. They were the only Quakers to reach double figures.
At the other end, Penn (2-13, 0-1) had no answer for T.J. Bray. The Princeton guard was sizzling from three-point land, hitting six, and finished with 23 points. Ian Hummer had 13 points, while Denton Koon scored 10. Will Barrett nearly had a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds.
Hicks' first two baskets made the score 14-10, but Bray and Mack Darrow followed with threes that pushed the Tigers' lead to 20-10. Penn got within seven points on two occasions after that - the first on a Steve Rennard trey, the second on a Henry Brooks layup - but Princeton's lead was 31-22 at the break.
Will Barrett hit a three on Princeton's possession to open the second half, and that started the decisive run. Penn had a few mini-runs here and there, and were able to draw within 10, at 49-39, when Dau Jok knocked down a three-pointer. Koon responded with a trey, but Miles Cartwright hit a trifecta for the Quakers and the score was 52-42.
Princeton again went on a streak. Koon scored a layup off a Barrett feed, then Hummer laid one in off a Darrow pass and Bray went inside the arc for a driving layup of his own. That made the score 58-42 and effectively ended the contest.
Penn is in action twice next week, playing at NJIT on Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. before returning to The Palestra to face Saint Joseph's in a Big 5 game Saturday at 5 p.m.
Game Notes: For the second time in three games, and the fourth time this season, Penn outrebounded its opponent (33-32) ... Penn had season team lows in free-throw percentage (6-12, .500) and assists (8) ... Princeton hit 11 three-pointers and shot 50.0 percent from beyond the arc, both opponent highs for this season ... Freshman Tony Hicks set season/career highs in points (16), rebounds (6), assists (5) and minutes played (30) ... This was Hicks' fourth straight double-figure scoring game (9.0 ppg in that stretch) and sixth this season ... Hicks led Penn in scoring for the second time in three games, and the third time this season ... Hicks also led Penn in rebounding, becoming the sixth player to do that this year (also Dougherty, Cartwright, Nelson-Henry, Louis and Jok) ... Freshman Darien Nelson-Henry had 11 points, his second straight double-figure scoring game ... Nelson-Henry is averaging 12.0 ppg over the last three games and 9.2 ppg over the last six ... Junior Steve Rennard played a season-high 34 minutes ... Penn played for the fifth straight game without leading scorer and rebounder Fran Dougherty, who is out due to mononucleosis.

Ratings for Dr. Peter F. LoFaso
I got up and left, very poor bedside manner, did not even discuss root of my problem, just dismissed me as if I was a piece of crap. He is very arrogant and rude, and takes no time to discuss any alternatives to help me with my problem. He is in middle of a horse field, and lacks compassion and respect which any human being deserves!
HORRIBLE BUSINESS!!! The Dr. was decent I suppose, he smiled and said hello when I entered, but the office staff was very rude. As I approached the receptionist, I got the distinct impression that I was interrupting a very important text message because she without looking up from her cell phone pushed a clipboard at me and quite rudely said "Sign in." After waiting a solid 45 minutes without any acknowledgement, I left. OVER a year later, I received a bill from them stating that I owed them $10 for missing my appointment. When I called on multiple occassions to contest this fee, I was told several times that someone would get back to me, but to this day, no one has. However, I still receive the same bill for $10 which I refuse to pay. Avoid this business at all costs!
When my Husband who has a different insurance than I do was assured by Dr. LoFaso's staff that they accepted his insurance, took his co-pay (twice) and then was told by his billing department (who is off site) oops we don't take it you owe us hundreds of $$$)had a balance on his account he refused to refil my prescriptions. What kind of a doctor holds a patient's prescriptions hostage for money on a different patient's account. I had no balance, didn't even owe a co-pay. Then when we did not pay his $100 concierge fee ... he dropped us ... all while I was actively being treated for specific conditions ... what physician does that ?? I agree with a prior post: Emotionally erratic, fires patients who question any aspect of billing issues. Tells them they have 30 days to find another doctor. HE CHARGES $100 A YEAR TO BE HIS PATIENT, as if he is a CONCIERGE PHYSICIAN. Make your own decisions, but just be aware of what you are getting into.
Reading the reviews, some are just plain wrong. Dr. Lafaso charges 100.00 to part of his practice. By doing this he almost always see's you within 15 minutes of your scheduled appointment. He is never in hurry to get you out to see the next patient. He takes his time. He is very knowledgeable and has seen problems in drug interactions BEFORE the so called specialists. I have yet in 2 years seen him make a wrong diagnostic. I like his direct approach and he tells you the issue Straight. If you call his service after hours and on the weekends, he calls you back. Answers your questions and treats you like a person and friend, not many Doctors do that.
Dr. Lofaso sees through the drug seeking behaviors of the emotionally needy south Floridian whiners. He tells it as he sees it. Poor little retirees waiting for their next all you can eat buffet to open will not find sympathy with Dr.L. As for the comments against Angelica, they seem to be racially motivated by the same types who want to be coddled every step of the way. The man knows his facts. If you do not like "what you see is what you get" then go elsewhere. If you can deal with reality rather than having your own inner story reinforced, he's your doctor. He's mine and will remain so.
Front desk person very rude and ignored me while I was standing at the window while she was on a personal call. She looked at me and did not even acknowledge me. So I went to sit down. She finished call and finally she acknowledged me later after I sat down. Previously refused to tell dr my husband wanted to talk to him and she refused to tell him to call. He was going to tell him about her rudeness and being unprofessional and un friendly. We will go to another dr and never go back. No one should be treated like this. Husband likes doctor (good and nice) but have to deal with front desk person. I am sure doctor has lost other patients if she treats them like she did us. Dr also want an additional $100 to keep as doctor. Not worth it with her. Not good customer service even with out that fee.
Emotionally erratic, fires patients who question any aspect of billing issues. Tells them they have 30 days to find another doctor. HE NOW CHARGES 4100 A YEAR TO BE HIS PATIENT, as if he is a CONCIERGE PHYSICIAN. Skip this guy.
I am very upset with Dr. Lofaso and his staff. I have had several visits and on every visit he had a very arrogant attitude. I switched jobs and insurance companies at the first of the year and called in to cancel a check up I had scheduled. I received a no-show fee of $35. I disputed this to the office and was told to call the billing office. After 6 months of going back and forth I received a letter from a collections agency on this $35. I called to talk to Dr. Lofaso and was told he would not speak on the phone and I would need to send him a letter. It's not about the money it is more about the principle. It seems to be more of a scam than anything. The thing that gets me the most as that there is nothing I can do. Run far away from this doctor. I can only imagine if I really had an issue what I would have went through.
Rude and uncaring staff. Totally Discourteous. Tries to triage patients without speaking to them..Long waits in the office waiting room. Dr is very flippant and tries to be a wise ass. Cannot get to see Dr in an emergency.....sends everone to emergency rooms and labs......does not do anything himself. Angelica makes tons of mistakes and does not return calls....Dr will not speak to you on phone......Recently had to tell him to @#$%^&*()!@# off and find another physician with a real staff.
Lafaso is ok. Good personality and sense of humor. He is not an MD which makes me nervous. The office staff is horrible! Angelica is rude and just plain stupid. She makes mistakes often and then will not fix them.

Today is National Filet Mignon Day! According to Executive Chef Admir Alibasic from Ben & Jack's Steakhouse in Scottsdale, filet mignon is a very delicate prime cut of beef. It originates from the tenderloin of a cow and is best cooked by grilling or broiling. Since the filet mignon is low in marbling (intramuscular fat), grilling the cut can be perfectly done with a couple simple rules from Chef Admir:
– Charcoal grills are best for cooking filet mignon because of the high amount of heat that will give it a perfect char and a quick sear that will seal in the juices.
– Wrapping the filet in bacon will give it more flavor because once the drippings from the bacon hit the coals, it will coat the food in an aromatic composite.
– Rotating the filet 90 degrees every minute on each side will give the filet those beautiful grill marks. Don't just flip once! Flipping multiple times will actually accelerate the cooking time and reduces overcooking on the surface.
– I prefer my filet medium rare – medium (135°F-145°F). Since it is such a delicate cut, cooking to well-done will defeat the purpose of enjoying the filet's tenderness and flavor.
– Once off the grill, allow the filet to rest before cutting into it. Resting allows for the juices to reincorporate back into the meat so when you cut into it, the juices won't just flow out.
– It can be served on its own or topped with a sauce. A sauce made with a beef base or red wine pairs perfectly with the filet mignon.
If you would rather leave the cooking to the experts, head on over to Ben & Jack's Steakhouse for National Filet Mignon Day. Located in Old Town Scottsdale, Ben & Jack's Steakhouse is a charming 5,000 square foot modern restaurant that offers exceptional prime dry-aged steaks and chops, fresh seafood, mouth-watering side dishes, decadent desserts and an impressive wine list.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - It was supposed to be a lifesaving mission, but instead a Mayo Clinic helicopter flight to Gainesville to pick up a heart for a transplant crashed into the woods in Clay County, killing the pilot and two Mayo Clinic employees.
The initial report said the aircraft was 300 feet above the ground about a mile out from the crash site, Tuesday night, the National Transportation Safety Board released new details on the crash.
One issue in the National Transportation Safety Board factual report said the pilot, Hoke Smith was operating the helicopter in weather conditions not recommended for flying at low altitude levels. Certified Aviation Attorney and pilot, Ed Booth, told Channel 4 Tuesday night their decision to fly was a costly one.
Booth suspects the choice to fly may have been the ultimate reason for the crash.
"The pilot was extremely experienced, a war hero. He flew air craft during Vietnam and died trying to save someone's life," said Booth. "You cannot accomplish this type of mission without some risk and they certainly accepted some of those risks. "
Dr. Luis Bonilla, David Hines and Hoke Smith died when a helicopter crashed in southern Clay County.
Records show SK Jets had been losing business and millions of dollars for several years before the accident, but it still had a contract with the Mayo Clinic. Booth said the desire to keep Mayo's business could have added more pressure to fly that night.
"That's an area of tremendous concern, it also mentions three prior accidents suffered by this company. One a fatal helicopter crash at night over the ocean eerily similar to this one," said Booth.
The report also included what was in Smith's system while he was flying, Smith had a blood pressure medicine and Ambien in his system at the time of his death.
"We don't know from this report how much Ambien was in his system we don't know how long prior he ingested the Ambien. Just one of the many issues in this report, investigators looking to determine why the helicopter crashed," said Booth.

There are no atheists in foxholes
"There are no atheists in foxholes" is a saying that means, roughly, that when things are bad, people tend to turn to God for help. While having little power as an argument for the existence of god, it is often used to undermine atheists, by asserting that despite all arguments, in a moment of crisis they too will seek a higher power. In a military context: [1]
Ernie Pyle, the iconic embedded World War II embedded journalist killed by Japanese machine gun fire in 1945, made famous the adage, "There are no atheists in foxholes."
He was making a point that it's better to be safe than sorry when your life is on the line - not letting the Devil get you cornered, he wrote, was the justification for a soldier who dug round foxholes. Atheists are a tiny minority anyway and there are even fewer in a war zone, Pyle felt. And he knew more soldiers than perhaps any journalist ever will.
Or more generally, adversity will make a non-believer turn to God.
Other versions and notable statements
- "If you haven't yet been to the place where you didn't know where to turn, you'll get there. You will be in a hospital waiting room or a funeral home or a police station or at the scene of an accident or a doctor's office or bank or courtroom, and know (perhaps for the first time) that you don't have all the answers. [...] Go ahead, now, and get on speaking terms with God. He will be there for you later. [2]"
- "If you get in a serious bind, the first thing you gonna do is look around and say: oh, please help me! [3]"
The argument is featured in the movie Fury:
Wait until you see it.
See what?
What a man can do to another man.
Psychological basis
- Main Article: Emotions and religion
Although a hasty generalization, there is a kernel of truth in the claim "there are no atheists in foxholes". Research has found a variety of negative emotions increase religiosity, including socioeconomic problems, insecurity in relationships, bereavement, illness, personal crises, and thinking about mortality. [4]
Physiologists discovered that reminding a religious believers of death increases their professed religiosity. Perhaps surprisingly, it decreased their professed religiosity in non-believers. However, when implicit religiosity is measured, religiosity increases when reminded of death for both believers and non-believers. [5] [6] A survey of WW2 veterans, 50 years after the conflict, found that those who had negative experiences of war were more religious. [7] [1]
In Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, David Hume argued that misery makes people more religious while contented people are less religious.
"There are no atheists in foxholes" is very weak argument and rarely used to argue for the existence of God.
Wishful thinking
In essence, the argument boils down to wishful thinking:
- I am not strong enough to handle all of life's problems on my own.
- Therefore, I want a higher power to help me.
- Therefore, that higher power exists.
While the first part is almost universally true, and the second is certainly understandable. However, the conclusion does not follow from the premises. Wishing for something does not make it true.
People in desperate situations take desperate measures, even if they only have a small chance of success. A person who has gone into cardiac arrest may want a doctor to use a defibrillator to restart their heart. But this does not mean that applying electrified paddles to people's chest is a good idea in general.
Suggesting atheists turn to God in a time of crisis could be considered a result of projection wherein the theist is uncomfortable with his own relationship with a god or religion as being a matter of comfort and not rationality.
Mortal fear
- Main Article: Pascal's wager
When in extreme danger, the reminder of death may cause people to consider if there is an afterlife. They may choose to believe as an insurance policy in case they are killed. This reasoning is called Pascal's wager which considers the mere possibility of infinite punishment for not believing, justification enough to believe in God. However, people are not likely to be considering rational argumentation and philosophy when in extreme danger. Increased religiosity is more likely to be due to more fundamental psychological reasons.
Counter-productive argument
The claim really says nothing to disparage atheism nor bolster religion. It reveals a weakness in theistic belief; the motivational power of fear and the desperately unreasonable choices made by those with nowhere else to turn. It can be paraphrased as "Even the rational turn to God at their most irrational". Whether this is true or not is irrelevant. Should an atheist ever turn to God in dire circumstances, there is no gain or loss on either side. God's existence shouldn't rely on the number of supplicants.
Which side does God support?
Even if belief is strengthened by adverse circumstances, some individuals from all sides pray to God during war. It is difficult to conceive that God helps both sides of a conflict. Milton "Chris" Christian, a WW2 veteran said: [8]
- "They say there are no atheists in foxholes. But as we sat in those holes, praying that God would save us, I thought about the fact that the other side was doing the same thing. And then I wondered if God is just playing some kind of game with us. Pretty much I decided at that point there was no God"
Real-life military counterexamples
Even taken literally, the saying is not true. Many atheists have served in the military and have seen combat.
- Pat Tillman - an American Football player who joined the military and died fighting in Afghanistan.
- Military Association of Atheists and Freethinkers, who aim to provide a "community for atheists, humanists, and other nontheists in the military."

Three Lions Tabbed All-Region to Cap 9-7-1 Season
SAINT LEO, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's soccer team was able to put their academic prowess on display as three Lions were named to the National Soccer Coaches Association Scholar All-Region team it was announced over the Christmas holiday. Pia Soesemann, behind her nationally recognized 19-goal season, earned first-team honors while her teammates Courtney Kassab and Francesca Williams earned an honorable mention nod.
Scoring 19 goals in 2010, the native of Berlin, Germany single-handedly revived a stagnant Saint Leo offense at midseason. In the second half of the year, she exploded for 11 goals, scoring in five consecutive games. Sparking her team, the forward helped take the Lions from a 4-6-1 record to finish the season at 9-7-1 and another Sunshine State Conference tournament berth. She finished 2010 with the Sunshine State Conference's Player of the Year Award and a first-team selection to the NSCAA's All-Region team.
Academically, the junior is also a heavyweight in the classroom as she carries a 3.88 grade-point average in the dual fields of History and International Studies. A stellar student, Soesemann has appeared in the Saint Leo President's Club four-times, the Division II Athletic Directors Academic Achievement Award List, the Saint Leo Dean's List and a member of the Sunshine State Conference Commissioner's Honor Roll.
Williams qualified after posting her 3.41 grade point average in her selected field of History alongside appearances in the President's Club, Dean's List and the SSC Commissioner's Honor Roll. Appearing in 16 games, the defender from Formby, England logged nearly 1,300 minutes while anchoring a back-line that only surrendered 22 goals. She helped the Lions' defense to a four-game scoreless streak all while managing a goal and an assist.
In limited time this season, Kassab started 10 games at midfield and played almost 800 minutes. Scoring a goal and posting two helpers, the senior from Pinckney, Mich. finished a respectable Saint Leo career in 2010. Majoring in International Business, Kassab earned honorable mention honors behind her 3.45 grade point average.
