People say "should you run Hadoop in the cloud?". I say "it depends".
I think there is value in Hadoop-in-cloud, I talked about doing it in 2010 at Berlin Buzzwords 2010; since then I've had more experience with using Hadoop and implementing cloud infrastructures.
- If your data is stored in a cloud provider's storage infrastructure, doing the analysis locally is the only rational action. It's that "work near the data" philosophy.
- If you are only doing some computation -say nightly- then you can rent some cluster time. Even if compute performance is worse, you can just rent some more machines to compensate.
- You may be able to achieve better security through isolation of clusters (depends on your IaaS vendor's abilities).
- No upfront capex; fund from ongoing revenue.
- Easier to expand your cluster; no need to buy more racks, find more rack space.
- You don't need to care about the problems of networking.
- Less of a problem of heterogenous clusters if you expand later.
Against that
- Cost of data storage can only increase at a rate proportional to ingress/retention rates.
- Cost of cluster time increases at a rate proportional to analysis performed. There is no "spare cluster time" for low priority work.
- Even if CPU time can scale up, IO rate of persistent data may not.
- Hadoop contains lots of assumptions about running in a static infrastructure; it's scheduling and recovery algorithms assume this.
- HDFS assumes failures are independent, and places data accordingly (Google's Availability in Globally Distributed Storage Systems paper shows this doesn't hold in physical infrastructures, my notion of failure topologies expands on that)
- MR blacklists failing machines, rather than releasing them and requesting new ones.
- Worker nodes handle failure of master nodes by spinning on the hostname, not querying (dynamic) configuration data for new hostnames. Some of the HA HDFS may address that, I'm not tracking it enough.
- Topology scripts are static. I've been slowly tweaking topology logic in 0.23+ but haven't put the dynamicness in there yet (HDFS and MR cache (name->rack) mappings on the assumption that the data is coming from slow to exec scripts, not fast & refreshable in-VM data).
- Schedulers assume #of machines are static, don't allocate and release compute nodes based on demand and with knowledge of cost and quantum of CPU rentals. (I'm not sure quantum is the right term there, I mean the fact that VMs may be rented by the hour, 15 minutes, etc, so your scheduler should retain them for 59 minutes after acquiring them.
- Scheduling doesn't bill different users for their cluster use in a way that is easily mapped to cluster time.
A lot of these are tractable, you just have to put in the effort. The Stratosphere team in Berlin are doing lots of excellent work here, including taking a higher level query language and generating an execution plan that is IaaS aware -you can optimise for fast (many machines) or lower cost (use less machines more efficiently).
In comparison, a physical cluster:
- Offers a lower cost/TB of any corporate filestore to date other than people's desktop computers (which have a high TCO and power cost that is generally ignored), so enables you to store lots of stuff you would otherwise discard.
- Let's you choose the hardware optimised for your current and predicted workloads.
- Has free time for the low priority background work as well as the quicker queries that near-real-time UIs like.
- May be directly accessible from desktops in the organisation (depends on security model of cluster).
- Is easily hooked up to Jenkins infrastructure for execution of work as CI jobs.
- Let's you do fancy tricks like striping of different MR versions across the racks for in-rack locality and different sets of task trackers for foreground vs background work, and different JTs (reduces memory use, cost of failure, etc).
- Is way, way easier to hook up to internal databases, log feeds. To do ETL into your corporate oracle servers, you will need to run something behind the firewall to fetch it off the IaaS storage layer, rather than have your reducers push it to the RDBMS itself.
This is why I say "it depends" -it depends on where you collect your data and what you plan to do with it.
As for the way Hadoop doesn't currently work so well in such infrastructures, well the code is there for people to fix. It's also a lot easier to test in-cloud behaviour, including resilience to failure, than it is with physical clusters.

University Park, Pa. — Penn State invites all cancer survivors, their families and friends, volunteers, organizers and community leaders to "Band Together" in the fight against cancer this Saturday, Jan. 29 at the Bryce Jordan Center for Coaches Vs. Cancer Day as Penn State takes on nationally ranked Wisconsin in a 4 p.m. tip live on the Big Ten Network.
Penn State will welcome all cancer survivors and their families and friends with up to four free tickets each for the game (while supplies last) vs. the No. 17 ranked Badgers. Survivors are asked to please contact Nathan Leopard (email@example.com, 814-234-1023) of the American Cancer Society (ACS) to make ticket arrangements.
Penn State Athletics will donate $3 from every ticket sold to the game to Penn State Coaches vs. Cancer and encourages all fans in attendance to don a "Band Together" headband as the community unites in the fight against cancer. Penn State coach Ed DeChellis, his staff, Nittany Lion players, chearleaders, dance team, band and everyone involved in the game will be sporting white "Band Together" headbands in a symbolic uniting of will to defeat the disease which has affected so many.
Fans can get their $2 "Band Together" headband at any Jordan Center gate on game day. All proceeds from the sale of "Band Together" headbands will go directly to Penn State Coaches Vs. Cancer and its local distribution arm the Bob Perks Cancer Assistance Fund (BCAF). Penn State CVC has contributed over $120,000 to BCAF in the past three years and BCAF has distributed more than $260,000 locally in the last three years to help those affected by cancer in the Centre Region. There will also be a silent auction on the concourse featuring signed memorabilia from Penn State and regional sports greats and a moving halftime ceremony highlighting survivors and the many volunteer groups in the Centre Region who have taken on the fight against cancer.
"We wanted to use the opportunity and platform that we have of a game at the Jordan Center to show our support for those battling cancer in the community and shine a light on the many groups who have been dedicated in the fight against cancer," said Penn State coach Ed DeChellis, a cancer survivor himself. "We have a very strong community and a lot of very strong people out there fighting this disease and we wanted to bring them all together, raise some money, but also, and maybe more importantly, tie everyone together in one place and have a tangible moment that says "you're not in this alone. There are a lot of people in this fight together."
Penn State Coaches vs. Cancer has raised more than $1.5 million in the last 15 years to fight cancer and help support those affected by the disease. It has grown from an annual golf tournament started in the summer of 1996 to a year-round schedule of events, which this year includes the Spikes Fest (Feb. 12), CVC 5k Fun Run/Walk (March 26), the 16th Annual Coaches Vs. Cancer Celebrity Golf Tournament (June 3), Microbrewer's Expo (Aug. 20) and the CVC Reverse Car Drawing (Sept. 22).
Penn State Coaches vs. Cancer raised a record of more than $207,000 last year and has netted more than $850,000 in the last five years alone. Much of the money raised goes directly to assist those affected by the disease in the Centre Region through BCAF. Funds are also donated directly to the American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society is the largest non-profit funder of cancer research, with over $30 million in research taking place in Pennsylvania each year, including three research grants totaling over $2.1 million at Penn State University.
"The growth of our Coaches vs. Cancer organization here at Penn State over the past five years or so has been amazing," DeChellis said. "It's really a testament to our terrific sponsors, a motivated and committed committee and our strong community here which supports the events and understands the great amount of good their support can provide."
To get involved in any of Penn State Coaches vs. Cancer's events or become a sponsor or volunteer please visit www.CVCPENNSTATE.org or call 814-330-3337.
Nittany Lion Basketball single-game tickets are available by calling 814-865-5555, visiting GoPSUsports.com or through Ticketmaster. Single-game tickets are $18 for the lower bowl and $15 for upper level tickets for adults. Youth tickets (18 and under) are $7 for the lower bowl and $5 for upper level seating, while Penn State student tickets (all campuses) are $5 for any of the 19 home contests.

Humans have at least seven different sirtuins performing different tasks, and given the evident importance of the work they do, researchers have been trying to better understand how they function. Insights into their mode of action could represent early steps toward developing a novel class of drugs that might promote health in various ways.
Now, structural biologists at The Wistar Institute studying the role of sirtuins in gene expression - specifically in turning genes off - report new findings that significantly illuminate how sirtuins work. The results point to a mechanism of action likely to be general for the entire sirtuin enzyme family and may offer the beginnings of an explanation for how metabolism and aging may be linked through the mechanisms that control gene expression. The research is featured on the cover of the November issue of the journal Structure.
"We've known for some time that there is a connection between low-calorie diets and longevity," says Ronen Marmorstein, Ph.D., a professor in the Gene Expression and Regulation Program and senior author on the Structure study. "More and more, too, it looks like there is a real link between metabolism and gene expression. By providing a clearer picture of how sirtuins operate generally, our findings may begin to suggest how these three areas - metabolism, gene expression, and aging - intersect at the molecular level."
Using X-ray crystallography and other techniques of structural biology, Marmorstein and his group detailed the structure of a sirtuin from yeast while bound to two molecules associated with its biological function. One part of the sirtuin was bound to a derivative of a molecule called NAD, which has a pivotal responsibility in metabolism - it's needed to break down glucose. The other part of the sirtuin was bound to a specific site on a histone protein. Histones are primary players in controlling genes, and in this case the sirtuin Sir2 is the site of action for silencing gene expression.
"The sirtuins, whether we find them in bacteria, yeast, or humans, all rely on another molecule called NAD, required primarily for metabolism, to do their jobs," Marmorstein notes. "There's only so much NAD available at any given time, however, and if it's being used by the enzymes involved in metabolic processes, it may not be available to the sirtuins whose job it is to shut down unnecessary gene expression. The resulting unchecked genetic activity would expend needless energy, promote the production of genetic abnormalities, and may well be implicated in the aging process."
A related study, published by Marmorstein and coworkers in the October issue of the journal Nature Structural Biology, points not only to similarities among members of the sirtuin family, but also to how differences among them permit them to perform different tasks in different systems. While all sirtuins bind to NAD to do their jobs, their second binding site shows more variability and is likely responsible for the specificity of roles seen among the various sirtuins - each different sirtuin binds to a different target and carries out a different biological task.
The lead author on the Structure study is Kehao Zhao, Ph.D., of The Wistar Institute. Xiaomei Chai, also at Wistar, is a coauthor. Funding to support the research was provided by the National Institutes of Health and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Wistar Institute is an independent nonprofit biomedical research institution dedicated to discovering the causes and cures for major diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders, and infectious diseases. Founded in 1892 as the first institution of its kind in the nation, The Wistar Institute today is a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center - one of only eight focused on basic research. Discoveries at Wistar have led to the development of vaccines for such diseases as rabies and rubella, the identification of genes associated with breast, lung, and prostate cancer, and the development of monoclonal antibodies and other significant research technologies and tools.
News releases from The Wistar Institute are available to reporters by direct e-mail or fax upon request. They are also posted electronically to Wistar's home page (http://www.

If "The Laggies" has two things going for it - it's a relatable theme and a home run of a cast. But if it has a fault, it's the failure to make those strong elements work.
If "The Laggies" has two things going for it - it's a relatable theme and a home run of a cast. But if it has a fault, it's the failure to make those strong elements work. The theme is nothing new. Director Lynn Shelton's protagonist, played by Keira Knightley, is struggling to figure out what to do with her life when most of her peers have figured things out. Knightley plays a 28-year-old loafer named Megan. Megan is 10 years removed from high school, has a graduate degree in counseling and has been in a committed live-in relationship with her high school sweetheart (Ken Webber) for several years. Yet for some reason she is content to stand on a street corner during the day waving a sign for her father's business ... but only on the days her mother doesn't catch her playing hooky to watch TV at their place. The character is ... a stretch. Early on, inspired by the marriage of one of their other high school friends, Megan's boyfriend pops the question, but instead of relating to her shock, the audience asks, "Why would anyone want to marry someone like her?" Stunned by this proposal, Megan flees to the local grocery store, where she befriends a group of teens after they convince her to buy them some wine. The leader of the teens is Annika (Chloe Moretz), a disgruntled youth who is living with her father (Craig, played by Sam Rockwell) since her mother made tracks years ago. In order to buy some time while she ponders her relationship with her boyfriend, Megan (the 28-year-old) talks Annika (the teenager) into letting her crash at her dad's place. It's the kind of scenario that might work as a slapstick comedy, but the film's serious tone just leaves the audience asking too many pertinent questions. Especially when Craig winds up in a relationship with Megan ... the grown woman who works as a signpost and hangs out with his teenage daughter. It's possible that Shelton put a little too much faith in Knightley's charm, and you can't really blame her. Knightley isn't exactly a lightweight in the acting department, and neither is Moretz, depending on whether you interpret her delivery as "wise beyond her years" or "know it all." But at least in "The Laggies," Knightley's character is just too unlikable to suspend disbelief. She's immature, dishonest and oblivious. Not exactly the kind of girl who should be fighting off so many clear-thinking male leads. Speaking of which, the most likable character by far is Rockwell, whose turn in last year's "The Way Way Back," also a Sundance feature, was the highlight of a fantastic film. But that just makes his misdirected affections all the more unbelievable. To its credit, "The Laggies" does feature one subplot that demonstrates some maturity, even if it comes in response to an immature act. Early in the film, Megan catches her father in an act of infidelity, and his response later on is a pleasant, level-headed surprise. But it's just not enough. The character behaviors in "The Laggies" may be explained away by human weakness, but they just aren't likable to care about. The film started with a couple of nice ideas and a fantastic cast but just couldn't put the pieces together. It's too bad, really. "The Laggies" was not rated at the time of its screening but will most likely receive an R for profanity, along with some sexual content.%3Cimg%20src%3D%22http%3A//beacon.deseretconnect.com/beacon.gif%3Fcid%3D140066%26pid%3D46%22%20/%3E

A Touch of Play
First impressions after testing Microsoft's Surface Table:
It is a coffee-table sized hardware running Windows Vista and allowing collaborative interaction from up to 4-6 participants. The number of hand-gestures it can recognize is obviously higher than that of a standard touch-screen which can typically handle only a single tap and drag, and maybe multi-touch. On the other hand, the Surface Table can recognize multiple taps, imprecise flicks and resizes, and touch-intensity. Actually, much like a TouchSmart, it can even detect movement just above its surface. Simply put, it is like a giant iPhone.
So how does it lend itself to GIS/Planning application development? Well, it is more eye-candy than useful for its cost at this point and appropriate application ideas may not come readily. If you try to recreate a similar collaborative environment with a series of Tablet PCs, TouchSmarts and Windows 7, you might just be successful. Note that it can't be detached from its base and wall-mounted since it has a projector underneath.
The Surface Table's biggest strength lies in its enabling a collaborative environment, and therefore, it is more suited towards "playful infotainment"-type applications. If you develop GIS/Planning applications for the Surface Table, note this: It would be a lot of fun, but maybe not a lot useful. And also, it doesn't carry any browser application (!) so you can't simply start using your planning mash-up and development would present its own WPF learning curve for the web savvy. For an elegant GUI design, remember that fat shaky fingers need big buttons. In terms of pricing, Microsoft is currently also charging for its SDK (approx. $3K): Not sure of their pricing model, but it doesn't seem like a smart idea if their goal is to also encourage the Viral Phenomenon. And although, they don't yet come pre-installed (!), a wireless card and wheels can easily be mounted to turn your Surface Table into a self-contained unit to enhance its portability.
There are already some creative applications in-use: Soldiers returning from a patrol dump their head gears onto the Surface Table, and its docking corner instantly syncs their captured data with their sync folder- no fumbling there! Special ID tags can "identify" themselves to the Surface Table, but cell phones running Windows Mobile require a download before they can sync. Selected Omni Sheraton hotels and others are currently showcasing Surface Tables.
So how does it work? Well, conventional technologies detect touch-location by interrupting:
* Infrared
* Optical Field
* Surface Acoustic Wave
This interception happens just above the screen substrata and its grid coordinates are then translated to screen position. Alternatively, you can do a makeover of your current display using Dispersive Signal Technology (DST). DST integrates chemically-strengthened glass onto existing display. It detects bending wave within the glass radiating to the 4 corners where it gets converted to electric signals. This approach also makes it ideal for heavy-duty use to filter out "noise", say when outdoors or think glass spills and crumbs in a snack-rich community planning meeting. Then there is Proximity Capacitive Resistance (PCR) for touch-across-surface.

School Sign in System Indianapolis
When it come to schools it is very important to know about the visitors coming in and out. With schools there are always concerns about students' safety. Now traditionally the sign in process consisted of a piece of paper that visitors were required to just put their names on. There was really no way of knowing anything about the visitors. Most of the time the school would have personnel assigned to oversee visitors entering and leaving the front lobby. At LobbyGuard our school sign in system takes only a few seconds to get visitors registered. This will eliminate the need for school personnel to be stationed in the front lobby. They will be free to perform other important tasks in the school. This also will minimize the workload of the attendance office because the LobbyGuard system will record and generate reports when students come to school late or when they leave early. This will reduce the schools labor costs because the information can be imported to the school information system from the kiosk.
School Sign in System In Indianapolis
The school sign in system also has an additional safety feature. We want to keep the Indianapolis school system safe. The LobbyGuard kiosks will make it possible to perform background checks on all visitors that come up to the school. Our system will work with national sex offenders' databases. It also will be able to identify other local offenders and unwanted guests.
School Sign in System Indianapolis, IN
School safety is very important. LobbyGuard is dedicated in its efforts to make the Indianapolis school system safer. It is imperative for all school systems to know who is visiting the school. Our school sign in system makes this possible. It not only maintains the accountability of school visitors, but it also has the capability of checking their backgrounds as well. Our system replaces the outdated sign in system which only provided system is in need of updating the visitor sign in process gives us a call at LobbyGuard. We can be reached either by email email@example.com or 1-866-905-6229. We look forward to your business.

*Total return is the combination of reinvested dividend, capital gain, and return of capital distributions, if any, at prices
obtained by the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, and changes in the NAV and Market Price. The NAV total return takes into account the
fund's total annual expenses and does not reflect sales load. Returns are average annualized total returns, except those for periods
of less than one year, which are cumulative. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Investment return and market value of an investment in the fund will fluctuate. Shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The debt securities in which the fund invests are subject to certain risks, including issuer risk, reinvestment risk, prepayment risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk. Issuer risk is the risk that the value of fixed-income securities may decline for a number of reasons which directly relate to the issuer. Reinvestment risk is the risk that income from the fund's portfolio will decline if the fund invests the proceeds from matured, traded or called bonds at market interest rates that are below the fund portfolio's current earnings rate. Prepayment risk is the risk that, upon a prepayment, the actual outstanding debt on which the fund derives interest income will be reduced. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer of a security will be unable or unwilling to make dividend, interest and/or principal payments when due and that the value of a security may decline as a result. Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed-income securities will decline in value because of changes in market interest rates.
The fund invests in non-investment grade debt instruments, commonly referred to as "high-yield securities". High yield securities are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of loss than securities with higher ratings. Lower-quality debt tends to be less liquid than higher-quality debt.
The fund invests in equity and debt securities of non-U.S. issuers which are subject to higher volatility than securities of U.S. issuers. Risks may be heightened for securities of companies located in, or with significant operations in, emerging market countries. Because the fund invests in non-U.S. securities, you may lose money if the local currency of a non-U.S. market depreciates against the U.S. dollar.
Use of leverage can result in additional risk and cost, and can magnify the effect of any losses.
The risks of investing in the fund are spelled out in the prospectus, shareholder report and other regulatory filings.

Student Spotlight
Our students have achieved much success while still studying at YU. Read more about how the Career Center helped them to secure internships, refine their resumes and cover letters, and more.
Margalit Mattuck
Upon working with the Career Center, Margalit was able to figure out what to major in, and how she wanted to combine my interests with her career goals in sports marketing and PR. After each meeting, she discovered many practical steps that ultimately helped her find her dream internship. After a Career Center site visit to Madison Square Garden, the vision of what she wanted to do began to fall into place. She decided to pursue a degree in Communications with a focus in Public Relations. She is an avid Hockey fan, and so when New York Islanders posted an internship in their Community Relations department, she knew she had to go for it. She did a mock interview with the Career Center, and was successful in landing the position, which she did for a year. She has been exposed to all different facets of sports, made some great professional contacts, had the chance to meet the hockey players and has taken on many project management tasks. It was an incredible experience!
Michal Kupchik
Michal is a senior at Yeshiva University graduating May 2015 as a media studies/public relations major. Michal started at Stern College for Women, like many others with a major, as "undeclared." She decided to set up an appointment with the Career Center for some guidance. During her initial meeting, we helped her navigate YU CareerLink and put together her résumé. She soon scored her first internship at the Organization for the Resolution of Agunot. There, Michal gained real satisfaction from promoting a cause she was passionate about using social media. From there, she met with the Career Center to learn more about the field of PR and declared it as her major the following semester.
Over the course of the next two years on campus, Michal served as a PR intern at Jewish Family Services of Kansas City, IMP Group Ltd. in Jerusalem and Talbots in NYC. During her last semester on campus, she was a finalist in the PepsiCo Meeting of the Minds marketing competition. Upon graduation this May, she will be an intern at Peppercomm. She credits the Career Center with guidance every step of the way and plans to stay in touch with us as an alumnus after graduating.
Xia Ji
Hailing from China, Xia graduated with a Master of Science degree in accounting from the Sy Syms School of Business in September 2013. After spending her senior year of college at the New York Institute of Technology, she decided to come to YU. During her time here, Xia interned in the Fiscal Department at the Metropolitan Council for Jewish Poverty. She met with the Career Center early during the fall semester and was able to obtain the internship by applying to a position on YU CareerLink. During her first internship in the U.S., she said she learned how to balance efficiency and effectiveness at work and became a good multitasker. After an intense job search, she found a full-time position as an accountant at Golf and Wrobelski CPA LLC, where she was able to obtain sponsorship as an international student.
Xia's advice to international students seeking employment in the U.S. is to realize that it is very hard to find to a job and to obtain a working visa in the U.S. If a student does decide to stay here, he/she needs to try his/her best and be open to any opportunity that comes his/her way. Most important, international students should not give up and should persist in their job search. Xia cannot stress enough the importance of gaining internship experience while in school in order to help build one's résumé and ultimately obtain full-time employment in the U.S. Her future goals include obtaining her CPA license and working for a big four accounting firm.
Sam Reinstein
Hailing from Teaneck, NJ, Sam is currently in his second year of RIETS on his road to receiving semicha after graduating Yeshiva College with a degree in mathematics.This past summer, Sam participated in the Center for the Jewish Future's Kansas City Internship program. Working for a small family owned insurance company, Sam turned the internship into a consulting job that continues until today. While he is still moving forward in his rabbinical career, as he will begin to be the rabbinical intern in Washington, DC's, Kesher Israel this coming year, he is furthering his career in mathematics by taking the actuary exams. This coming summer, Sam will be returning to Kansas City to direct the internship program he participated in this past summer, while being the intern in the Orthodox synagogue. After the program, Sam will be the intern in Shaarei Tefillah in Teaneck. Since revising and reviewing his resume for both his pursuits in the rabbinical and mathematical fields with the Career Center, he has made sure to make others know what the Career Center can offer.
Hannah Dreyfus
Originally from New Haven, CT, Hannah is currently a junior at Stern College majoring in journalism. Besides for her coursework, she balances an Editorial and Reporting internship at The Jewish Week and serves as the managing editor for the The Observer. She looks forward to assuming the position of editor in chief next year. For this upcoming summer, Hannah was selected to participate in the American Society for Magazine Editors (ASME) Internship Program, a highly competitive program that places interns at popular magazines in New York and Washington, and will be working at PARADE magazine. Additionally, Hannah was selected to participate in the Princeton Tikvah Undergraduate Seminar, set to take place at the end of the summer, and recently won the Edward A. Rothman Memorial Award for the best paper on the theme of "Issues in Orthodox Judaism in Practice."
Sharing her passion for the written word, Hannah works as a tutor for the Beren Writing Center, helping her peers with academic essays and creative work. Hannah also has an expressed interest in law and public policy. Last summer, she served as a legal intern at AJC for General Counsel, Marc Stern, and participated this semester in the Cardozo School of Law Undergraduate Fellowship Program. She is hoping to pursue a joint degree in journalism and law. Since beginning at Stern, Hannah has worked closely with the Career Center on the Beren Campus. From editing cover letters to helping create a portfolio of clips, Hannah is incredibly grateful for the time, attention and encouragement she received from Career Center.
Rachel Israel
Rachel is originally from Montreal and is currently a senior accounting major at the Sy Syms School of Business. Rachel decided to use the accounting skills that she obtained in school and apply them as an intern at a law firm called Fasken Martineau this past summer. This semester, Rachel felt it was time to combine all her interests in accounting, media and the arts, and was inspired to do something in a creative field. She recently accepted her dream internship position at MTV this fall, where she will be working in the Production Management department. In her spare time, Rachel is an active member of the track team and enjoys hanging out with friends. Throughout her professional growth, the Career Center was there for guidance and support. The staff helped build her resume, and she encourages others to utilize the Career Center so they can find these types of opportunities as well.
Jordan Botovnik
Jordan was raised in Highland Park, NJ. He is currently an upper sophomore majoring in economics and minoring in political science. He is also working toward a commission as a second lieutenant in the United States Army at Fordham University ROTC. Possessing keen political acumen, he learned about an internship through the Career Center at the Mayor's Office in New York City and thought it interesting. He now interns in the Community Affairs Unit and works as a liaison between Mayor Bloomberg's office and minority communities around the five boroughs. The Career Center has helped Jordan build his resume and with numerous other internship and career opportunities. He encourages other students to utilize the Career Center so they can find these experiences as well.
Debra Weinstein
Growing up in the "Big Apple," Debra always demonstrated the New Yorker confidence and perseverance. Stern College for Women was the obvious choice to complete her undergraduate studies. At Stern College, Debra enjoys the camaraderie of her peers and the college has become her epicenter for both personal and professional growth. Debra has chosen a career in accounting and is currently in her senior year at the Sy Syms School of Business. Her determination and motivation has set her apart on her journey toward her CPA. She currently balances her courses with practical, hands-on experiences interning at Braun Business Management, as well as developing sharp managerial skills as the president of the Accounting Society. She organizes and plans student events and site visits while still finding time to volunteer for various chesed projects and connecting with family and friends. Throughout her personal and professional growth, the Career Center was there for guidance and support. Debra was determined to interview with the "Big 4," which she did through on-campus recruiting with the Career Center. She obtained offers from both Deloitte and Ernst & Young, and accepted the Summer Internship at Ernst and Young, her top choice.
Judith Frankiel
Judith hails from sunny Los Angeles, California, and came to Stern College for Women to study political science and minor in business. As a college junior, she is very interested in politics and Israel advocacy and heard about the AIPAC Diamond internship from her peers in YUPAC (Yeshiva University's pro-Israel lobbying group). Judith was immediately interested in applying but nervous about the professionalism of her cover letter and resume, so she had them reviewed by the Career Center. Its staff's suggestions and revisions were invaluable. She was offered the internship and plans on interning at AIPAC during this fall and spring. In the past, Judith has undertaken other internships/volunteer work helping Congresswoman Maloney on her re-election and campaigning for Kirsten Gillibrand in her run for state senator. In addition, she has taken advantage of building her leadership skills by becoming actively involved in various on-campus clubs including Stern College's Soccer Team, the Chesed Club and the J. Dunner Political Science Society. This past summer, she was also awarded the Azrieli Fellowship in Public and International Affairs to work in the Center for Near East Policy Research, an international media clearing house and outlet for news in Israel.
Sasha Bogursky
Sasha grew up in New York City and since high school has been fascinated with the field of journalism. Wanting to make sure she attended college at the epicenter of the industry and continue her Jewish studies as well, Sasha found that Stern College for Women proved an ideal choice. Because journalism is such a competitive field, she sought as many internships as possible to optimize her chances of employment upon graduation and to gain valuable experiences and skills. She worked as an intern at The Media Line, a professional journalistic organization in Jerusalem, as well as at PresenTense. Upon returning to New York, she interned at Talkline Communications Network and the Republican Jewish Coalition. She is most proud of securing a summer internship this past summer at Fox News. Sasha credits the Career Center at YU for helping her secure this prestigious position. She said, "I got this position because I always read the weekly emails distributed by Career Center and saw that there was an upcoming career fair in which YU was participating." She noticed that Fox News would be attending and was looking for interns, so she applied for an on-site interview and was granted one. Throughout the whole process, the Career Center was there to help her with developing a professional resume and cover letter and by preparing her for the interview. She advises fellow students, "Go to the Career Center! It's never too early to take on internships. You really want a few because they are critical to students landing full-time positions. Do as much as you can and treat everyone you meet with respect and professionalism. You never know who will be a potential lead."
Nina Garkavi
Right after graduation, Nina started a paid marketing internship with Integrated Media Solutions with potential to lead to a full-time role. The Sy Syms School of Business student with a major in marketing and a minor in information systems found her position by posting her resume on YU CareerLink, where a YU alum saw it and contacted her.
Born in Moscow, Russia, and raised in Seattle, WA, Nina had many internships while at YU, including with Versace, Yves Saint Laurent, Allied Advertising, American Family Insurance and Clear Channel Radio Station Kube 93 FM. She found most of them through networking and making contacts at career fairs and site visits. A successful job search, Nina says, requires personal determination and motivation. She encourages students to have resumes reviewed frequently by the Career Center and to personalize a resume for every position, because no two companies are the same.
Joseph Azulay
As a sophomore in the Sy Syms School of Business, Joseph attended the Wall Street Forum, organized by the Career Center, where he introduced himself to someone who works in the Tax Department of Goldman Sachs. Afterward, Joseph followed up. He worked with the Career Center on both his resume and with interview preparation and then landed an internship at Goldman Sachs. ''Talk to anyone you meet,'' Joseph says, ''because anyone can help you get your foot in the door.''
Jordana Chernofsky
Jordana saw a flyer advertising an internship opportunity with "The Rachel Ray Show." It was posted on YU CareerLink, and she decided to apply. She then stopped by the Career Center during walk-in hours and scheduled a mock interview. The Stern College student majoring in fine arts with a concentration in graphic design and illustration landed the internship. She plans on interning in the art department of "The Rachel Ray Show," where she will assist with designing the props and sets used on the show.
Jordana plans to go to graduate school to study art therapy and would like to freelance in graphic design. ''Many students in the arts feel discouraged and they should not,'' she says. ''There are opportunities out there. You just to need to work hard to find them and keep your eyes open. Students need to do what they love to do, be confident and be open to new opportunities.''
Ira Twersky
After his sophomore year, Ira took part in the Social Work Rusk Internship at NYU Langone Medical Center. From Elizabeth, NJ, Ira is considering a career in psychology, and the internship will expose him to a clinical setting. Ira's advice is to use all available resources at the Career Center in order to find an opportunity because there are a lot of options and it's difficult to do it alone. In particular, he urges students to work with faculty members. They can help with searches and offer valuable insight.

by Fred Reed via Fred on Everything
With embarrassment I note that in my last column, due to confusion with an assistant, a photo of a bridge in France was labeled as being in Mexico. I request clemency on grounds that I have never before stolen a bridge, much less transported it to another continent. I have since returned the bridge.
Oh, sigh. One grows weary, or at least I do, of feminists who complain constantly of imaginary discrimination. It makes no sense. They are in almost the only place and time in which women are not mistreated. Those who do not read history may not know the extent to which woman really have been—tired word, but accurate—oppressed.
For the hell of it I made a list of all the men of classical Greece I could name in five minutes, thanks to courses in philosophy and to general reading. Of men, 25 and counting, of women, two: Sapho, notorious for being a lesbian, and Xantippe, Socrates' wife, for being a shrew. (I didn't count mythical women like Cassandra and Clytemnestra.) The absence verges on total erasure.
More women are known from Roman times, most conspicuously Livia and Messalina I suppose, but mostly as poisoners and villainesses. In general women were nonentities. Men had life-and-death power over their wives and daughters, meaning exactly that: they could kill them if they so chose. It was not a theoretical power, but one at least occasionally exercised. To an American man in 2013 this seems insane, even if he has had adolescent daughters.
The pattern holds with variation in details almost everywhere. American Indians, savages but hardly noble, subjugated women utterly. Foot-binding, as lunatic a practice as the mind of man has conceived, was common among China's upper classes. In India women were kept in strict isolation in purdah and, should their husbands die, expected to immolate themselves on the funeral pyres. What all of this was supposed to accomplish, I cannot imagine.
So much for the idea cherished in semi-literate courses in Women's Studies that non-Western cultures have been female-friendly. They have not.
But in this feminists are right: The three mid-Eastern religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, do indeed have a ghastly record. The Jews I think were least bad, subjugating their women but not waging actual war against them. Christianity was hideous. The Catholic Church for three centuries practiced systematic sadism against witches, torturing and burning alive uncounted thousands of women. Torture meant crushed bones, dislocated joints, molten lead, and other pleasantries ordained by the Vicar of Christ.
Today the church has softened. It has given itself to the minor consolations of pederasty and to urging women who can't afford them to have large families. This is an improvement.
Islam, intractably primitive, follows still the old ways. Girls in many places are not allowed to learn to read. Horrendous genital mutilation is horrendously common. Why the world puts up with this is a mystery. If I had been the British administrator of colonies practicing such mutilation, I would have had the fathers strung up naked on the town square and castrated with a blowtorch. Barbarous? Yes. But the cutting would have stopped in about ten minutes.
Curiously, in America more fury arises from the suggestion that men may be better than women at mathematics than from tens of millions of bloody clitoridectomies practiced on screaming young girls. Nobody, not the UN, not feminists, makes an issue of it. This too is beyond my comprehension, but maybe I just don't comprehend well.
So why have misogyny and subjugation of women—these are not quite the same thing—ceased in much of the world, and very much so in America? Said subjugation has been so widespread through all time that one might suspect it to be a trait genetically determined. But it isn't. In Europe, North America above the Rio Bravo, Australia, and New Zealand among others, women are fully integrated into society.
Many places thought to be bastions of repressive masculinity no longer are. For example, Mexico crawls with female doctors, dentists, lawyers and such. About half of the students in my stepdaughter's university (La Universidad Marista de Guadalajara) by impressionistic eyeball snapshot seem to be girls. Don't buy stock in machismo. Slide rules have a brighter future.
Feminists believe that they brought about the change by a valiant struggle against long odds and awful men. (By which they seem to mean all men.) Not so, quite. Powerless groups seldom rise unless those in power decide to permit it. For example, Brown versus the School Board was passed by nine white men. Whatever one thinks of Roe versus Wade, the court was male.
It is odd that in America, where women enjoy historically unprecedented rights and opportunities, often greater than those of men—who don't have affirmative action—feminists complain of oppression. It is fantasy. Consider the undying assertion that women are paid less than men for the same work. It was once true. Today there are fifty thousand slavering lawyers who would love to launch class-action suits, which they would be sure to win.
The trouble with basing your identity on fighting discrimination is that if you run out of discrimination, you don't know who you are.
The attitude of European men to the change, to include most white American men, is interesting. Men I know are for it, though they may not think they are. Irritation with the unending bitching of the professionals of bitching, the compelled political correctness, the demands for special privilege, the noisy hostility of too many women—weariness with all of these can obscure a few truths:
American men do not want to oppress women. All the men I know very much like intelligent, educated women who do not wear chadors or burkas. They like athletic, adventurous women with whom they can scuba dive and camp. (My younger daughter got her scuba ticket at age twelve, muchly with her dad's support.) Many of my male friends have daughters. If any university tried to exclude them because they were girls, a law suit would instantly ensue.
But one mustn´t speak of this. If you speak unfavorably of the ill-breeding and obnoxiousness of professional feminists, they say that you hate women. The tactic is common. Criticize the treatment of Palestinians by Israelis, and you hate Jews. Object to the beating to brain damage of whites by urban black mobs, and you hate blacks. Yet it is not the race, sex, or faith that one objects to, but specific behavior of specific members of these groups. A very different thing.
We live in the middle of a social order that is, so far as I know, entirely new. To those who have grown up in it, it seems normal and, now, is. Seen against the backdrop of three thousand years, the merging of women into the polity is astonishing. How it will shake out in the long run is uncertain, but it seems to work well enough. Spare me the nineteen-year-old bimbos in Women's Studies at Dartmouth telling me how oppressed they are, on daddy's dime.

text: So I find I need to exercise more than I used to, just to maintain a healthy weight. I try to watch what I eat and walk 5-6 days a week. I'm not much of a runner, so I walk instead. I have to do something so my butt doesn't look fat in those jeans. What exercise/diet routines do you guys follow?

The Steelers were in full force at LSU's pro day on Wednesday with Mike Tomlin, Todd Haley, and Kevin Colbert all in attendance.
Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made it known in a radio interview that he had dinner with that group on Tuesday night.
OBJ fits the Todd Haley mold of receivers to a tee.
A smaller receiver that works very well in space and makes his money with precise route running and then working after the catch.
I'm a big fan of him, but I think his lack of size makes him a bit of a reach at the 15th pick.
I'm not one that has to get a 6'5″ receiver, but it would be nice to get a red-zone threat at the 15th pick.
It's possible the Steelers like Beckham enough to take him at their current spot in the first round, but history suggests they won't.
Draft stock fluctuates so wildly that I don't have any hard numbers to back this up, but I can tell you what I've observed about the Steelers' draft strategy in the past…
To me it seems the Steelers typically go with the "safe" value pick in round 1, and then tend to get a little more creative afterwards. I can honestly say the only pick in recent memory that really surprised me in round 1 was Ziggy Hood.
Guys like Jarvis Jones, David DeCastro, Cameron Heyward, Maurkice Pouncey, Rashard Mendenhall, and Lawrence Timmons were all considered to fit the range or in a lot of cases great values at their draft slot.
Where the Steelers "reach" (and understand I'm just talking according to all the clueless talking heads, myself included) is usually after round 1. Last season Jarvis Jones was considered a steal, and Le'Veon Bell was considered a reach.
I bring all of this up because it seems like the Steelers are paying a lot of attention to guys that according to most people, are late first round picks.
Odell Beckham Jr, Allen Robinson, Kelvin Benjamin, Jason Verrett, Bradley Roby, Ryan Shazier, Louis Nix, and Stephon Tuitt are all guys that seem to fit that description in my opinion.
It's always possible the Steelers like someone a lot more than the general public. However, I also think that if guys like Gilbert, Dennard, and Evans are off the board the Steelers will try hard to move down.
Colbert has talked about how deep this draft class is, and it's been said that maybe not many teams want to move up… but I think that's the plan going in.
Once names start flying off the board though I think you'll see teams get antsy and deals will be on the table.

sebbo182 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 20 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
My site is already the product of two 99designs projects ! To finalize it I simply need to improve the sidebar. I mocked up everything in a powerpoint page that you will find linked to from the description section. Note that I may increase the guaranteed payout to motivate you during the process (check out past projects ! =) ).
OK... I think my existing site on California poker looks great and that's thanks to the awesome designers from 99 designs. Check out my history to see past projects. I provide constant feedback and guarantee the prize. Back to the subject matter now:
I want the sidebar to stand out ! I think the overall tone of the site is rather dark and I would like the sidebar to "shine". Maybe have a blueish color emanate from the sides. Blueish 3d lighting effects similar to the white emanating from the sides of my site. No solid colors, more granular/ transparency effects.
Why do you I want the sidebar to stand out ? This is where my site makes money ! You need to understand the purpose of the sidebar: generate clicks ! Make things look "gummy", sell the clicks ! That is the most important factor here. And have fun with it.
Concerning what should go into the sidebar, I have a very raw montage that you can find linked to underneath: I go over every element in detail afterwards.
- part 1 (note that the sidebar is longitudinal, I placed the second section on the side because of spacing issues).
- part 2 (note that part 2 appends part 1 for the same space reasons)I want to go through the steps in detail with you here : from top to bottom this is what is expected:
(note that "top" starts right underneath the search bar)
1/ I Have a little rectangular section. The idea here is to add an incentive to sell the click on the header chip where it says "play now". In this little section, there should be an arrow pointing to the chip with a similar color. To the left of the arrow, I want the words: 100% bonus . Note that the text is pretty much irrelevant, I'm just looking for the right font, background color, effects here. I will change this later. I think it would look cool if there were some poker chips in this section as well, as shown with the red circles.
2/ A picture of the Golden Gate Bridge ! Note that you can use istockphoto and I will refund you, there is no price limit by the way. Note that the blues of the picture should try to match the sidebar blue as best as possible.
3/ A little section where it says : " CA CASINO SPONSORS"
4/ As shown, 4 black squares with white text in the middle. The first three squares have text that says :" advertise here". I want the bottom right button to stand out, look clickable. Maybe make it blue. The text on that one should say : " become a sponsor"
5/ Basically this is the existing sidebar. I just want the blue effects as I said previously. Also I want some American flags added as shown. Lastly, you need to change the buttons I had just before " CA / USA players start here" . I want something that users just want to click. Find whatever button you like from istockphoto and I will pay you back.
6/ the newsletter section (fun part !)
Replicate what is shown, although you will need to find a different girl pic. Find the most attractive girl possible. Note that the colors should be changed from the green it currently has, make sure it matches the blue and overall design.
That's it !
Note: since there is no real requirement on the strings of text used for titles etc.. Just provide the fonts used at the end of the project.
- A sidebar that looks awesome, web2.0, draws attention and lightens up the overall design
- Originality, creativity
- 3d lighting effects that come out from the sides of the sidebar, maybe have the light curve up on the sides and form a small 3d wrap.
- A sidebar that looks pasted. The sidebar will make or break or the design. I think the sidebar can improve the overall design with an eye catching color.
- Unattractive girls for the newsletter
- Pictures of penguins or Hannah Montana =)

This reminds me of when a private investigator that I have a working relationship had me dig up dirt on a cheating wife for a divroce case. I got into her e-mails easily enough from their home computer.. the guy got me into his house while the wife was out shopping or something and I basically recovered a bunch of deleted mails from outlook express.. cakewalk. then I added a logger for her online chats for more info beyond that. Caught her good and red handed.. but I felt terrible about it. The husband turned out to be a worse cheater than her, and he was a royal dick, lawyer guy... to this day I feel shitty about the result, he got the kids and she didnt get squat for alimony... but that's off the subject kinda.
My advice... is.. that if you are hot.. come to New York.. me and you can hook up.. if he's cheating then you are free to cheat too.. make it an open marriage.. he sleeps with whoever he wants and you can sleep with me. Deal? Sounds like fun. Otherwise, go with your gut... I don't think you need to hack anything because you already KNOW.

Jaime Castrillon next to leave Colorado Rapids, but does he have an MLS future?
Jaime Castrillon joined Diego Calderon as players who will not return to the Colorado Rapids next season, after the team's technical director, Paul Bravo, said they're cutting ties.
Castrillon, the Rapids' leading scorer in 2012, returned to the 2013 preseason under a cloud of mystery when it was suddenly announced he was injured at the end of the previous season. It started a long road of surgery, recovery and return for Castrillon.
But after playing on a renegotiated, small-price salary in 2013, Castrillon won't return for 2014.
"Jaime has spent two years here, and this past year he had to deal with a big injury," Bravo said. "By the time that he came back midway through the year, several young players had stepped up in his position."

Greenpeace activists unfurl banners at the Shell Belgian Grand Prix, in protest of the company's plans to drill in the pristine Arctic environment. Shell is the main sponsor of the Belgian Grand Prix, the company has invested $5bn in its Arctic drilling programme but after a series of embarrassing mishaps, was forced to abandon its plans to drill for oil off the coast of Alaska this summer. Greenpeace is campaigning for a ban on offshore drilling in the Arctic, and for the uninhabited area around the North Pole to be declared a global sanctuary

Our idea of heaven is a weekend away watching football and generally enjoying the local culture. All of us at TBIR were dead jealous of Danny Last across at European Football Weekends as he escaped the ice and snow of the UK for Christmas to Madrid. after nearly two weeks of being a family man he escaped for a couple of days for some football action. Below is one of his posts from his trip. Enjoy – we certainly did!
Someone in EFW's Brilliant Ideas Dept had decided it would be a top wheeze to take in a brace of matches on the outskirts of Madrid – in the same day. Needless to say I had no objections and considered myself up to the task in hand.
A trip to Alcorcón for a midday kick off with Real Madrid Castilla (reserves) would be followed by a short trip on the metro to Getafe to see them do battle with Valladolid at 5pm. I don't know about you but these are the sort of days I find fairly agreeable.
AD Alcorcón were involved in the second most astonishing thing ever to occur in this glorious old pastime. They were responsible for knocking Real Madrid out of the Copa del Rey this season. They thrashed them 4-0 at home and only lost 0-1 in the return leg at the Bernabau. 4-1 on aggregate and the biggest upset of all time in Spanish football complete. Some Real Madrid players haven't played since that game, notably Guti – bad few weeks for him no!?
What? You want to know the most astonishing thing ever to occur in football? Here you go then; when Arbroath beat Bon Accord 36-0 in 1885 – thus recording the biggest victory in any senior British match – just 18 miles down the road on the same day, Dundee Harp beat Aberdeen Rovers 35-0. How's your luck!? Worst still, the ref thought Dundee had won 37-0 but their own secretary thought they'd only scored 35 and so the lower figure was agreed upon.
Where were we? Football, Spain, oh yes…Alcorcón. Well, the twenty minute walk from the metro station to the ground takes you past a multitude of high rise blocks of flats. You also walk through a large park which – at a push – you could call an area of outstanding beauty. Its not really a place you'd choose to bring your wife on a honeymoon but good luck to it anyway. I felt just as at home here than anywhere in the country. It's the real Spain so enjoy it.
After being relieved of €15 for my match ticket, I made my way inside the 3,000 capacity mutli-coloured all seater stadium. The first thing that you notice is that hundreds of those seats have been broken. This must have been caused by excess celebrations after that victory over Real Madrid.
These are giddy times for the club. They are due to take on Racing Santander in the next round of the cup soon. Tickets for this match (as well as the away leg) were being sold by a couple of chaps walking around the stands with a huge bundle of cash on them. Brisk trade was also being done in the club shop as shirts, scarves and pretty much everything else was selling out and fast.
Alcorcon 2 Real Madrid Castilla 1 – 3rd January 2010
After a couple of rousing renditions of We Will Rock You and with the sun not quite beaming its approval on the scene, the game got underway on what was rather marvellously – a pudding of a pitch.
The main stand was sold out and one of the fans in there was a complete loon/legend. He sang (into a microphone) alone for 90 minutes. His voice boomed out across the Municipal de Santo Domingo like an Indian call to prayer. Freaky but uniquey.
Cristian missed an open goal for Castilla early on but, what really had the locals talking was an incident on 18 minutes. Your correspondent with his right foot (I'm actually left footed) retrieved a wayward ball from the stands and lofted a perfectly chipped effort straight into the hands of Real Madrid left back Nacho (of course Nacho). He didn't have to move a muscle. Both coaches looked at each other in semi-amazement and I'm sure at least one of them jotted down a note. I'm still sitting by my phone awaiting the call as I type.
On the stroke of half time the home side took the lead with Lopez (of course Lopez) getting his nut to an inswinging corner. It was great to see the Real Madrid players collectively losing their rag, caked in mud and evidently not wanting to be anywhere near Alcorcón.
With the aid of a bent linesman, Castilla found their way back into the game three minutes from time. Juan Carlos (of course Carlos) equalised with what would have been the most undeserved point ever gained by a team in the nattily named Campeonato Nacional de Liga, 2a Division "B" Group II.
Luckily, for all the romantics in the ground, super-sub David Sanz was on hand to bring a bit of justice to proceedings. He chose the very last bit of action in the match to head home the winner and send the home crowd into another seatbreaking celebration. I stood with the ultras behind the goal in the second half and although relatively few in number, there was pandemonium in there when the goal went in. Some tried to pull the goal down in all the excitement. A brown besuited policeman saw to that though and stood triumphantly in the goalmouth afterwards beating his chest. Marvellous scenes.
After the game, I reaped the benefit of this being a working class town rather than a tourist trap. For just €8 I was able to enjoy a three course meal complete with bottle of acceptable red wine in a little family restaurant near to the station. Don't mind if I do. After all, I had another match to attend at Getafe in a couple of hours. Thanks Alcorcón, el orgullo de Madrid otra vez.
