Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, Marquise de Pompadour, also known as Madame de Pompadour (29 December 1721 – 15 April 1764, French pronunciation: [pɔ̃.pa.duːʁ]) was a member of the French court and was the official chief mistress of Louis XV from 1745 to her death.
Early life[edit]
Jeanne Antoinette Poisson, otherwise known as Reinette ("little queen") to her friends, was born on 29 December 1721 in Paris to François Poisson (1684–1754) and his wife Madeleine de La Motte (1699–1745). It is suspected that her biological father was either the rich financier Pâris de Montmartel or the tax collector (fermier général) Le Normant de Tournehem.[1] Le Normant de Tournehem became her legal guardian when François Poisson was forced to leave the country in 1725 after a scandal over a series of unpaid debts, a crime at that time punishable by death. (He was cleared eight years later and allowed to return to France.) Her younger brother was Abel-François Poisson de Vandières, who later became the Marquis de Marigny.
Poisson was intelligent, beautiful and refined. She spent her early childhood at the Ursuline convent in Poissy where she received a good education.[2] At adolescence, her mother took personal charge of her education at home by hiring tutors who taught her to recite entire plays by heart, play the clavichord, dance, sing, paint and engrave. She became an accomplished actress[2] and singer, and also attended Paris's Club de l'Entresol (formed in 1724 and suppressed in 1731). The greatest expense of her education was the employment of renowned singers and actors, such as Pierre Jélyotte, much of it paid for by Le Normant de Tournehem; and it may have been this in particular that sparked rumours of his paternity to Poisson.[citation needed]
She later claimed that, at the age of nine, she was taken by her mother to a fortune teller and told that she would one day reign over the heart of a king.[3]
At the age of nineteen, Jeanne Antoinette was married to Charles-Guillaume Le Normant d'Étiolles, nephew of her guardian, who accepted the match and the large financial incentives that came with it. These included the estate at Étiolles (28 km south of Paris), a wedding gift from her guardian, which was situated on the edge of the royal hunting ground of the forest of Sénart. With her husband, she had two children, a boy who died a year after his birth in 1741 and Alexandrine-Jeanne (nicknamed "Fanfan"), born 10 August 1744.[2] Contemporary opinion supported by artwork from the time considered the young Mme d'Étiolles to be quite beautiful, with her small mouth and oval face enlivened by her wit. Her young husband was soon infatuated with her and she was celebrated in the fashionable world of Paris.[2] She founded her own salon, at Étiolles, and was joined by many philosophes, among them Voltaire.
Introduction to court[edit]
As Mme d'Étiolles became known in society, King Louis XV came to hear of her. In 1745, a group of courtiers, including her father-in-law, promoted her acquaintance with the monarch, who was still mourning the death of his third official mistress, the duchesse de Châteauroux.
Jeanne Antoinette was invited to a royal masked ball at the Palace of Versailles on the night of 25 to 26 February 1745, one of the many fêtes given to celebrate the marriage of the Dauphin Louis de France (1729–65) to the Infanta Maria Teresa of Spain (1726–46). By March, she was the king's mistress, installed at Versailles in an apartment directly above his.[4] On 7 May, the official separation between her and her husband was pronounced.[1]
To be presented at court, she required a title. The king purchased the marquisate of Pompadour on 24 June and gave the estate, with title and coat-of-arms, to Jeanne Antoinette, making her a Marquise.[1] On 14 September, she was formally introduced to the court by the king's cousin, the Princess de Conti. She quickly mastered the highly-mannered court etiquette. Her mother died on Christmas Day of the same year, and did not live to see her daughter's achievement at becoming the undisputed royal mistress.
Royal mistress[edit]
The Marquise de Pompadour had little formal political influence in France, but she wielded considerable power and control behind the scenes, which was highlighted when another of the king's mistresses, Marie-Louise O'Murphy de Boisfaily, "la belle Morphyse", attempted to replace her around 1754. In 1755, the younger and less experienced Morphyse was married off to an Auvergne nobleman, Jacques de Beaufranchet, seigneur d'Ayat (Lord of Ayat)[5] and uncle of the illustrious General Louis Desaix, who fought during the French Revolution under General Napoleon Bonaparte. Their son, Louis Charles Antoine de Beaufranchet (1757–1812), a maréchal de camp (major general), was present at the execution of Louis XVI.[6]
The marquise had many enemies among the royal courtiers who felt it a disgrace that the king would thus compromise himself with a commoner. She was very sensitive to the unending libels called poissonnades, a pun on her family name, Poisson, which means "fish" in French. Only with great reluctance did Louis take punitive action against known enemies such as the Louis François Armand du Plessis, duc de Richelieu.
Her importance was such that she was approached in 1755 by Wenzel Anton Graf Kaunitz, a prominent Austrian diplomat, asking her to intervene in the negotiations which led to the Treaty of Versailles.[7] This was the beginning of the Diplomatic Revolution, which saw France allied to her former enemy Austria.
Under these changed alliances, the European powers entered the Seven Years' War, which saw France, Austria, and Russia pitted against Britain and Prussia. France suffered a defeat at the hands of the Prussians in the Battle of Rossbach, in 1757, and eventually lost her American colonies to the British. After Rossbach, Madame de Pompadour is alleged to have comforted the king saying this now famous by-word: "au reste, après nous, le Déluge" ("Besides, after us, the Deluge").[8] France emerged from the war diminished and virtually bankrupt.
Madame de Pompadour persisted in her support of these policies, and when Cardinal de Bernis failed her, she brought Choiseul into office and supported and guided him in all his great plans: the Pacte de Famille, the suppression of the Jesuits and the Treaty of Paris (1763). Britain's victories in the war had allowed it to surpass France as the leading colonial power—something which was commonly blamed on Pompadour. Madame De Pompadour supported great ministers like Bertin and Machaut who introduced important fiscal and economic reforms(trade, infrastructure, income taxes) which made France the richest nation in the world.
There were several reasons for the Marquise de Pompadour's lasting influence over Louis that distinguished her from past mistresses. First, she decidedly established a cordial relationship with Marie Leszczyńska.[9] The Queen had been snubbed by the king's previous mistresses, but Pompadour realized that showing respect for Marie eased Louis' guilt and allowed him to have a strong relationship with his children. The Queen often said "If there must be a mistress, better her than any other." She also put all of her effort into bringing fun into the melancholy life of the King. Unlike the other females in the King's life, the Marquise de Pompadour accompanied him while hunting, playing cards, and touring properties.[9] She also threw dinner parties for him and put on plays that exalted him. Lastly, the royal mistress reminded Louis of her beauty by frequently commissioning paintings, mostly by François Boucher, that highlighted her exquisite features and hid her ageing looks.[9]
Positions at court[edit]
The Marquise de Pompadour was an accomplished woman with a good eye for Rococo interiors. She played a decisive role in making Paris the capital of taste and civilization; her period of rule was not only the high point of French civilization in terms of arts, taste, and fashion, but also one of the most golden periods of world civilisations. She was responsible for the development of the manufactory of Sèvres, which became one of the most famous porcelain manufacturers in Europe and which provided skilled jobs for the region. She had a keen interest in literature.[2] She had known Voltaire before her ascendancy, and he apparently advised her in her courtly role. After the War of the Austrian Succession, when economy was the thing the French state needed most, she drew more and more resources into the lavish court. Her influence over Louis increased markedly through the 1750s, to the point where he allowed her considerable leeway in the determination of policy over a whole range of issues, from military matters to foreign affairs.[10][11]
Madame de Pompadour was a woman of verve and intelligence.[12] She planned buildings[2] like the Place de la Concorde (then called Place de Louis XV), the military school and the Petit Trianon with her brother, the Marquis de Marigny. She employed the stylish marchands-merciers—trendsetting shopkeepers who turned Chinese vases into ewers with gilt-bronze Rococo handles and mounted writing tables with the new Sèvres porcelain plaques. Numerous other artisans, sculptors and portrait painters were employed, among them the court artist Jean-Marc Nattier, in the 1750s François Boucher, Jean-Baptiste Réveillon and François-Hubert Drouais. Moreover, she protected the Physiocrates school (Its leader was Quesnay her own doctor)who paved the way to Adam Smith theories, she defended the Encyclopédie edited by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert.[13]
Madame de Pompadour suffered two miscarriages in 1746 and 1749, and she is said to have arranged lesser mistresses for the King's pleasure to replace herself.[2] Although they had ceased being lovers after 1750, they remained friends, and Louis XV was devoted to her until her death from tuberculosis in 1764 at the age of forty-two.[14] Even her enemies admired her courage during the final painful weeks. Voltaire wrote: "I am very sad at the death of Madame de Pompadour. I was indebted to her and I mourn her out of gratitude. It seems absurd that while an ancient pen-pusher, hardly able to walk, should still be alive, a beautiful woman, in the midst of a splendid career, should die at the age of forty two."[15] Yet, at the time of her death, many enemies were greatly relieved and she was publicly blamed for the Seven Years' War. Looking at the rain during the departure of his mistress' coffin from Versailles, the King reportedly said: "La marquise n'aura pas de beau temps pour son voyage." ("The marquise won't have good weather for her journey.")[16] She was buried at the Couvent des Capucines in Paris.[17]
In popular culture[edit]
- The 56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot, a unit of the British Army that existed from 1755 to 1881, was nicknamed "The Pompadours", as the purple facing of the regiment's uniform was allegedly Pompadour's favourite colour.[18] Some soldiers of the regiment preferred to claim that it was the colour of her underwear.[18] Its successor, the Essex Regiment, kept the colour and the nickname.
- The classic pink of Sèvres porcelain is rose de Pompadour.
- The Pompadour hairstyle is named after her.
- "Pompadour heels" (more commonly known as "Louis heels") are named after her.
- The "coupe de champagne" (French champagne glass) is sometimes claimed to have been modelled on the shape of her breast, although this is probably not the case.[19]
- She is referenced in the song "Personality" written by song-writer musician Johnny Burke and Jimmy Van Heusen.
- A hybrid Dendrobium orchid nicknamed "Madame Pompadour" serves as the symbol of Thai Airways.

- Madame Pompadour, a German operetta with music by Leo Fall and book and lyrics by Rudolph Schanzer and Ernst Welisch that also had successful adaptations in London (1923) and Broadway (1924).
- She was the subject of several portraits throughout her lifetime.[21]
- During the musical Evita by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice, she is mentioned by an Argentine senator, comparing Eva Perón to her.
- In the anime Le Chevalier d'Eon, she is portrayed as a character that monitors the movements of d'Eon and his men against the Revolutionary brethren. She is voiced by Mayumi Yangisawa in Japanese and by Shelley Calene-Black in the English dub.
- According to legend, the navette-cut diamond, also called marquise diamond was commissioned by Louis XV to resemble the mouth of Madame de Pompadour.[22]
- In the Robert A. Heinlein novel Have Spacesuit Will Travel, the female protagonist 'Peewee' is accompanied by her 'neurosis', a rag doll named Madame Pompadour.
- In the Dale E. Basye novel Blimpo: The Third Circle of Heck Madame Pompadour is the main antagonist, who constantly finds ways to create self-doubt so that she can feed upon it and keep herself looking young and beautiful.

Mitral Valve Prolapse (cont.)IN THIS ARTICLE
Living With Mitral Valve ProlapseMost people with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) have no symptoms and do not need treatment for their condition. Your doctor will advise you to exercise regularly, especially if you do not have symptoms. Controlling your weight and blood pressure as well as eating a healthy diet are important. A healthy lifestyle is also important if you have complications of mitral valve prolapse. People who have heart palpitations can try lifestyle changes to help, such as limiting alcohol and caffeine, not smoking, and avoiding secondhand smoke. Take care of your teeth to help prevent an infection in the heart called endocarditis. If you do not take care of your teeth, bacteria in your mouth might move into your bloodstream to your heart. These bacteria can cause an infection around your mitral valve. Brush and floss regularly, and visit the dentist twice a year. If you wear dentures, check your gums often for sores or signs of irritation. Before you have dental or medical procedures, tell your doctor or dentist that you have mitral valve prolapse. If you do not have other heart problems or an artificial heart valve, you will not need to take antibiotics before dental or medical procedures.

Horrorshow are an inner west Sydney hip hop duo comprising Solo (Vocals) and Adit (Producer).
Emerging on the scene in 2008 with The Grey Space, an album created during high school, at a time where they linked up with Spit Syndicate and Joyride to form the extended One Day crew. The album was released on Elefant Traks, earning an ARIA nomination and tours with The Herd, Muph & Plutonic and Hermitude – all before the duo turned 21.
Hot on the heels of their debut followed the second album Inside Story in 2009, solidifying their reputation for eloquent lyricism and soulful production, and striking a major chord with a growing legion of fans Horrorshow have enjoyed an organic rise—they're not anchored by a passing style or sub-cultural fad, consequently their fanbase is loyal and passionate, selling out shows all over Australia.
They've sold out every headline show they've ever done in Sydney. They've blitzed all the major Australian festivals, loved by purist hip hop heads while proving their appeal across genres. In 2010 they tested the waters internationally, supporting Brother Ali and Urthboy in Germany as well as Hilltop Hoods in London.
2011 saw them cement their place amongst the festival favourites playing to over 50,000 people on the Groovin' The Moo Festival and Bliss n Eso's Running on Air Tour.
In 2012 they supported Hilltop Hoods for a second time on their Speaking in Tongues Tour performing to massive crowds across Europe and Australia. They rounded out the year by playing a special acoustic show at the world-famous Spielgeltent at Brisbane Festival and collaborated alongside label-mates for the acclaimed Dr Seuss Meets Elefant Traks at Sydney's Opera House.
Horrorshow premiered new single, Unfair Lottery in May and are set to release their new album in July 2013.
"Inside Story is an outstanding offering. An album in the truest sense of the word, an album that belies their age, an album that exemplifies the significance of bona fide affinity" Certified Scribe
"This is Australia's youngest, most conscious, ego-free hip hop crew, and they're building some very strong foundations" The Brag "As a pair, they're certified dynamite...Horrorshow is the tumult of exuberant and irrepressible youth"

Why Hedge Funds are Hosting Applications in the Cloud
In last week's article, The Cloud Trifecta: Scalability, Cost and Efficiency, we looked at the top three winning reasons hedge funds are gravitating towards the cloud. In today's article (again inspired by our Cloud Forum website), we will examine further why firms are outsourcing the IT management of their applications to third-party cloud providers and the questions you should be asking. As validation of this trend, leading application vendors including Advent, ConvergEx, Tradar and Ledgex Systems have introduced efforts to certify third-party hosting providers.
Why Funds Are Moving
Following are some of the key reasons hedge funds are considering using the cloud for application hosting.
- Enterprise-grade Infrastructure: Cloud provider delivers a resilient and robust infrastructure that includes best practices around N+1 configurations to ensure the application is highly available.
- Cost-Effectiveness: By hosting an application with a cloud provider, hedge funds can reduce costs and minimize capital expenditure outlays on new equipment. Ongoing maintenance, monitoring and upgrades are all handled by the provider and should be included in the monthly cost.
- Scalability: A hosted platform can provide virtually unlimited computing resources, a redundant infrastructure and easy expandability to support a firm's needs. In many cases, allocation of CPU, memory, storage resources and Internet bandwidth can be increased on-the-fly.
- Management: The cloud provider is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the platform to ensure Service Level Agreements are met.
Questioning a Cloud Provider
Asking the right questions is essential to vendor evaluation. Here are some of the must-ask questions when considering moving your application to a cloud provider:
- Which application vendors have systems operating in the cloud?
- Does the application vendor confirm their product works in a hosted environment?
- Are there any issues associated with virtualizing the applications?
- How is the application deployed? Does the software run native over the Internet, or does it require a delivery mechanism such as Citrix?
- Are there any limitations with this type of deployment? Are there certain pieces of functionality that will not work if remotely deployed? Are there display limitations?
- How many clients for the specific application have a hosted implementation?
- What certification levels does the cloud provider have with these application vendors?
- Will the application vendor help with a "proof of concept"?
- Will there be any changes to the level of service if the application is deployed in a hosted environment?
Read the full list of Service Provider Questions HERE.

CONCORD — After a week of debate from both sides on marriage equality issues, the national discussion surrounding Chick-fil-A shows no signs of slowing down.
It began when Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy stated his support for marriage between one man and one woman; setting off a national firestorm from supporters of same-sex marriage. After Wednesday was proclaimed Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day by supporters of Cathy, the debate continued across the country and in the Charlotte region.
With a Bible in one hand and a microphone in another, religious speakers on Concord Mills Boulevard amplified their message in front of the restaurant chain at the center of a national debate. The traveling group Jeremiah's Call preaches a few Friday nights a month and said they stand behind Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy's recent comments in public support of marriage between one man and one woman.
"He has the First Amendment right to say what he wants," said Dan Lee with Jeremiah's Call.
This past Wednesday on Chick-Fil-A Appreciation Day, the chain set a one-day sales record.
"In light of the recent controversy surrounding Chick-fil-A, we felt it was really important that there was a positive presence out here," said Hilary Hoyt.
Friday's gathering in Concord drew a counter gathering, as supporters of gay and lesbians waved signs; which said messages such as God is love and You are Beautiful.
"I'm a Christian myself and I feel like what they are doing is completely wrong and not showing the love of God to anybody," said Hoyt.
As the gatherings showed Friday evening, the Chick-Fil-A debate has put several components of the First Amendments; the Freedom of Speech, the Freedom of Religion, and the Freedom of Assembly on full display.

Volunteer/Employment OpportunitiesThe Office of New Student Programs has several opportunities throughout the year for students to get involved with the office as part of Orientation, Mentorship, Welcome to Michigan or the ONSP Desk Staff. Some are paid positions; others are not. Below is a list of all ONSP student positions including a short description of responsibilities, general hiring timeline, and contact information if you have further questions. For information about non-ONSP campus jobs, see the Student Employment web page.
University MentorshipPeer MentorUM undergraduates may volunteer to serve. Peer Mentors play an integral role in the Mentorship Program by being the primary facilitator of small group Mentorship interactions. Being a peer mentor with the University Mentorship Program starts with a Winter term training session, and continues to December of the following Fall semester. As a peer mentor, you will be matched with a faculty or staff member here at UM according to a shared academic/career interest. The two of you will form a mentoring team to four first-year students who also share your academic interests. The Mentorship Program also sponsors several small events throughout the year that participants will be invited to. In between face-to-face meetings with your group members, you are expected to keep in regular contact through phone and e-mail. Peer Mentor applications are available November-January for the following academic year. Applications are due in late January, and selected applicants are invited back for individual interviews. Mentors will be notified of their acceptance into the Program in early March. For more information about the Mentorship Program or being a peer mentor, go here: http://www.onsp.umich.edu/current_students/mentorship/mentee.html, call the office (764-6413) or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Communication CoordinatorsA Communication Coordinator (CC) is a paid position with the Mentorship Program. You do not have to be a former peer mentor with the program before applying to be a CC, but some mentoring and/or leadership experience is preferred. CCs are responsible for leading their assigned peer mentor groups, offering advice to peer and faculty/staff mentors, answering questions, and providing information about mentorship opportunities to all mentors and mentees. They also plan and execute all Mentorship program events (2-3 events per month) and create the monthly and mid-monthly e-newsletters. CCs work 6-8 hours per week in the Mentorship Office, and an additional 4-6 hours outside the office (in meetings with peer core and faculty/staff mentors) and additional hours for major event staffing. Training for this position begins in February each year. Learn more and view the ad for this position at http://www.onsp.umich.edu/current_students/mentorship/MentorshipStaff.html Transfer MentorsA Transfer Mentor is a paid position with the Transfer Connections Program, a Mentoring program specifically tailored for incoming LS&A transfers that works independently of University Mentorship. The goal of the program is to acclimate new transfer students to the University, offer a social network and increase their access to essential University services. Transfer Mentors are responsible for providing mentorship to a group of transfer student participants, keeping regular office hours and providing information to transfer students through newsletters and email communication. Transfer mentors are expected to keep regular contact with group members and plan and implement events throughout the year. Transfer mentors work 8-10 hours per week in the Mentorship Office and additional hours as necessary. Find out more about Transfer student mentoring (Only online applications will be accepted) Summer Communication CoordinatorsSummer Project Managers have a unique opportunity to see Mentorship and ONSP behind-the-scenes during an exciting time of the year. SPMs play an important role in the Mentee selection and Mentorship group matching process. SPMs also help plan the annual Mentorship Reception and Kick-Off events, as well as lay the foundation for September activities. Summer project managers will also take on projects for the Transfer Connections program. Administrative and organizational experience is required as well as prior Mentorship experience (preference is given to previous or expected Communication Coordinators and Transfer Mentors).

Old Prescription Drugs- What do you do with them?
Water quality agencies have found prescription drugs in many water sources they have tested. What can YOU do to avoid this problem?
Many prescription drugs are persistent in the environment, scientists are finding. Some drugs that have shown up are digitalis and birth control, among many others. Drugs, especially those taken long term are commonly found in water samples. A certain amount of most drugs passes through the body and is excreted in the urine. And even with sewage treatment, these drugs pass through the sewage systems largely unaffected and are discharged to our waterways.
Another problem is disposing of unused medications. We've been told for years that we should flush them down the drain. We are finding that is not such a good idea either. So what can you do with them? The Drug Enforcement Administration has been setting up drug "take back" days. They collect the drugs and dispose of them safely.
The next Drug Take Back Day is April 28, 2012, 10 am to 2 pm.
The cost to you? It's free and they make it as convenient as possible for you. So we encourage you to take those old medications and turn them in! See the links below for more information- and spread the word to your friends and neighbors. Planned locations for the Conewango Watershed area are:

April 28, 2012
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.
Americans that participated in the DEA's third National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 29, 2011, turned in more than 377,086 pounds (188.5 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,327 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states and U.S. territories. When the results of the three prior Take-Back Days are combined, the DEA, and its state, local, and tribal law-enforcement and community partners have removed 995,185 pounds (498.5 tons) of medication from circulation in the past 13 months.
"The amount of prescription drugs turned in by the American public during the past three Take-Back Day events speaks volumes about the need to develop a convenient way to rid homes of unwanted or expired prescription drugs," said DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. "DEA remains hard at work to establish just such a drug disposal process, and will continue to offer take-back opportunities until the proper regulations are in place."
"With the continued support and hard work of our more than 3,945 state, local, and tribal law enforcement and community partners, these three events have dramatically reduced the risk of prescription drug diversion and abuse, and increased awareness of this critical public health issue," said Leonhart.

Celebrate Full Moon tonight & every month at Metal Arts Village
Monday, October 29th, 2012Tonight is the night for the Full Moon in October. Celebrate along with others from 5 to 8 p.m. — enjoy live music, wine tasting, a cookout (hot dogs/chips), other sweet goodies at the Metal Arts Village, 3230 N. Dodge Blvd. (north of the NE corner of Ft. Lowell and Dodge) in midtown Tucson. We've been a few times to this monthly event, and it's definitely a fun evening under the Full Moon.
There are eleven artists' studios in this "village" with hand crafted sculptures, decorative home decor, gates and art for your landscaped yard. Some of the metal artisans do live demonstrations of their art during this event, so its like an open studio tour.
A creative sculpture garden is in front of this locale, with imaginative pieces in mostly metal, some glass & ceramics. And don't overlook the charming coffee shop "Coffee Loft" that's tucked in the heart of the village, with its extra upstairs loft seating.
I did report on that coffee shop almost two years ago when it was named "Spill the Beanz" (click here).
Next full moon events in 2012: Wednesday November 28 and Friday December 28.
More info on their website, www.metalartsvillage.com, their Facebook page, or call 520-975-9792. Go online to their website for a list of their artists and photos of their metal creations.

Do you sometimes find yourself immersed in the details of day-to-day living at the expense of what you really want to accomplish in life? If a graduate degree is an unrealized goal or aspiration, but you can't imagine how it would fit into your busy schedule, consider earning it online.
Online degrees offer the convenience of learning anywhere and anytime that fits your schedule - at home on the couch, while on business travel, or at an internet café.
First and foremost, look for a university that is well respected and accredited. You'll find recognized brick-and-mortar institutions providing a quality education on-ground, now offering the convenience of an online alternative.
Fontbonne University offers online graduate degrees in management, supply chain management, the teaching of reading, and computer education that may help you reach your goals.
"We pride ourselves on the quality of our online coursework," says director of online programs Amanda Mead. "Our students are engaged in active learning environments with instructors who care about their success."
A variety of teaching methods are used. "Many adults are surprised to find that they won't just be watching lectures and reading materials online," explained Mead. "We've essentially recreated all the activities normally found in our on-ground classes so there's meaningful interaction between our online students, instructors, and materials."
Depending on the course, students will read textbooks, watch mini lectures and video clips, have online discussions, listen to audio clips, participate in small group discussions, conduct research, and write papers and case studies.
Most instructors "lecture" in an interactive PowerPoint-type presentation. "A lesson might start with a brief orientation to the topic," says Mead, "then students will read a bit and come back to the presentation, where there's clarification of the reading and possibly an assignment."
Jackie Russell, director of graduate admissions for Fontbonne's OPTIONS program adds, "Online programs are rigorous, but rewarding. To be successful, an online learner should be self-motivated."
OPTIONS provides faster, flexible, and more personalized programs for adult learners with demanding schedules. Students can now complete a master of management degree in the evening, online, or with a blend of both formats. The online master's in supply chain management launches in January 2010.
"The online degrees are a natural extension of our newly enhanced bachelor's and master's programs," said Russell, "and provide another option to help our students find time for what's important – their education."
Fontbonne University has provided high-quality, values-based education for more than 80 years. To learn more about online, traditional, or non-traditional OPTIONS degrees visit www.fontbonne.edu.

Finding Time for What's Important

Intel's upcoming "Clarkdale" is special for two reasons: it is the first 32 nm based processor from Intel, and that it's the first processor that comes with a graphics processor built in, something AMD conceptualized a long time ago. Under the hood (read: integrated heat-spreader), Clarkdale is a busy package, that holds a CPU complex die (that houses the main processing cores, cache, a dual-channel DDR3 integrated memory controller, and a Quickpath interconnect controller, that connects the die to its neighbor, a northbridge-iGraphics die that houses most northbridge components including a PCI-Express 2.0 root complex, the star-attraction IGP and a DMI connection to the "platform controller hub (PCH)". As the industry is gearing up for a gala launch of the socket LGA-1156 platform, almost every processor and motherboard making news leaves out the iGraphics component of these processors, simply because the first LGA-1156 processors to hit the scene, the quad-core "Lynnfield" lacks an IGP, and that it's much talked about sidekick the P55 chipset lacks the necessary component that lets the platform make use of the IGP. Dubbed Intel Flexible Display Interface (FDI), a component links the IGP to its display connectors on the board. Other members in Intel's upcoming 5-series chipsets, namely H55, H57, and Q55 as detailed earlier, feature FDI. The IGP itself uses a fairly conventional design, and focuses on essentially light 3D, and HD video acceleration, as today's consumer OSes are using user interfaces that heavily make use of hardware 3D acceleration, and more applications are using light 3D. With this being the generation that's moving towards HD video, it's a good idea to have at least an IGP that has what it takes to support all industry HD video standards for smooth playback. The IGP is DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 compliant, for starters, so it might technically be eligible to accelerate compute shader applications. Back when the processor model number scheme of Intel's Clarkdale-based dual-core processors first surfaced, the presence of a "Core i5 661" with the same specifications as the "Core i5 660" baffled us. The missing piece of the puzzle turned out to be its IGP, which has a higher core speed of 900 MHz. Other Core i5 and Core i3 "Clarkdale" processors have their IGPs running at 733 MHz instead. As a result of this seemingly small speed-bump, the overall processor TDP shoots up from 73W to 89W. Pentium G6950 has a much lower IGP core speed of 533 MHz, though it doesn't affect the TDP one bit. So there's more to it than IGP speeds. Finally, it boils down to performance. The Clarkdale IGP was pitted against Intel GMA X4500HD that's found on current Intel G45 chipset, and NVIDIA GeForce 9400 found on some high-end MCP7A-based motherboards, including the ION platform. While the superior graphics processing capabilities of the GeForce 9400 makes it almost inconsequential, the Clarkdale IGP performs almost twice as fast as GMA X4500HD overall. With HD video playback tests, the objective is to measure CPU usage. Lower the usage, the better. While the GeForce 9400 took the lead in most tests, again, the Clarkdale IGP outperformed its predecessor. It aced the Dual Stream H.264 20Mbps test with the lowest CPU usage. With P55 and Lynnfield hogging most of the limelight, not much more is known about the IGP+H5x platform. Hopefully, we get to know more in Q1 2010, when Intel plans its second big wave of CPU launches. Source: HKEPC
Christ. Make your product lineup ever MORE complicated, why don't you? This whole generation from Intel is just getting silly.
Hmm was hoping for something with a bit more oomph Off topic but check that dude's eyebrows in the first pic there huuuuge.
lolz eyebrow crazyness you could flip that dude over and use him as a broom lol i want to see him with 1 eyebrow shaved off to see the contrast aside from that more stuff coming out, im not sure i can see these selling lots in the first year, I mean most peoples c2, c2q, PHenII and i7's are more than enough, but who knows.
I would have liked to have had slightly more performance from this new generation of iGPU, but this will do. It certainly hit the design goals as long as it does 2 h264 streams and aero just fine. The 661's TDP jumped by so much not because it uses that much, but because 87W is the next "standard" TDP Intel wants for this generation. Im not seeing which chip (533Mhz/733Mhz/900Mhz) was benchmarked.
I got a good one over the 100pt increase in gpu score in vantage. Intel needs to take some marketing expertise from nVidia. At least they make most people believe that you're getting some improvement from that 4th gpu rebadge. Most would be better off getting a quad Lynnfield and a low end 9 series nVidia, or 4 series ATI, card if that's all anyone is concerned about. Way better off than the Intel "option". Intel's new graphics slogan should be Clarkdale, the reason why we are again a force in the IGP market.
Real men have big eyebrows. You're all just jealous. And I think it's cool that they can cram all these things on a single chip, but I'm not sure about the point of it. Cutting production costs and all that, but still..
sure, because business and non-gamers need a quad and a gaming behemoth GPU. Clarkdale's iGPU works just fine for their uses. More laptops are being sold than desktops, making arrandale the more important chip of the duals. I like how the chart says 87W, the text says 89W, and the reasonable number is 82W (same as the LP quads).
It has been confusing to most people for many years, even the average IT guy (including myself) has to look up specs at times to know what the hell they're talking about. Naming schemes went downhill when they decided there should be more variety than just clock speed.
CPUs have been processing graphics for a long time. In fact, it is only relatively recently that graphics processing has been done by a dedicated GPU. Think Apple I, II, 8-bit computing, all graphics were done directly by the CPU. There was a linear memory map that the CPU shared between "programs, "OS", "data" and "graphics". It was the Amiga that was the first computer to do hardware acceleration outside of the CPU. For PCs, it was mostly Windows that drove the implementation of hardware graphics... due to the massive amounts of data that needed to be moved around to create and drag windows etc. MS developed Windows API and the rest is 2D history. The next gen. of GPUs were driven by 3D games. The point about sticking separate purpose dies into one package is however true. But I wonder what came first: the idea of sticking 2 identical dies together (as in dual core computing) or the idea of sticking 2 asymetric dies together (as in one CPU and one GPU). Oophs! Someone made a graphical typo... shouldnt there be an example on the RHS including the GPU when talking about Clarkdale? LOL. Brilliant engineers at Intel. Sh17, l4zy or stup1d marketing team.
But those CPU's didn't have graphic accelerators at all, right? This is a dedicated GPU on a processor.

Weeklong statewide outage still affects three state agencies
The commonwealth of Virginia, which prides itself on its advanced information technology use across state agencies, has hit a computer glitch.
Last week, a failure in a critical component in a data storage unit at a state facility near Richmond led to a massive computer failure that affected the networks at 27 agencies.
Most are back online now, but three are still experiencing problems that are affecting their ability to perform their normal duties.
For one, all 74 Division of Motor Vehicles offices have been unable to issue new or replacement driver's licenses or identification cards since Aug. 25, according to today's Washington Post.
Northrop Grumman Corp. won a controversial and problem-plagued $2.3 billion contract in 2005 to provide computer and communications services to the state government. The contract was renegotiated this past April in the wake of numerous problems and missed deadlines.
In a statement issued Aug. 31, Northrop Grumman said it and the Virginia Information Technologies Agency, which oversees the statewide system, are working around the clock to restore the systems at the three agencies.
"This failure set off a chain of events that impacted 485 out of a total of approximately 4,800 servers and has seriously impacted several agencies and hampered their ability to conduct business," the Northrop statement said.
"As the servers have been brought back online each agency's technical staff has been working to test the integrity of the data," it said, adding that "within 72 hours of the incident 21 out of 27 agencies affected were operational."
"However, the data recovery timeline for the [DMV], State Board of Elections, and Department of Taxation and Revenue has taken longer than anticipated," Northrop added.
"We will conduct a root cause analysis, carefully analyze and review the findings, develop lessons learned, and make necessary changes," the statement said.
Northrop Grumman., of Los Angeles, ranks No. 2 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

It's not entirely free (there's a one-off $99 fee to gain access edit: The $99 goes to Verisign, not Microsoft - further edit: once paid you can sign as many binaries as you want), but it's cheaper than any realistic alternative would have been. It ensures compatibility with as wide a range of hardware as possible and it avoids Fedora having any special privileges over other Linux distributions. If there are better options then we haven't found them. So, in all probability, this is the approach we'll take. Our first stage bootloader will be signed with a Microsoft key.

B A+F Health & Safety: I genuinely feel very safe on and around campus. Campus security is visible. The dorms are almost too protected with having to sign visitors in and out each time you enter . While I know this provides security it is sometimes inconvenient!
B A+F Health & Safety: You hear about burglaries in the area from time to time, but I've never felt unsafe or had an issue.
C A+F Health & Safety: While the school has great security officers and a helpful safe ride system, there are literally like two blue lights here and most student guards will let anyone into the dorms. Also the buses run on reduced times on the weekeneds so you end up walking across the key bridge at night, often alone.
A A+F Health & Safety: The campus is in a very nice, safe area of the city. Metro police and campus security keep a close eye on students to make sure we are safe. Our student emergency health service, Georgetown Emergency Response Medical Service, makes sure students who need emergency care get it. The drinking can get a little out of hand but people around you will make sure whatever damage happens is minimized. As long as you are careful you will be safe.
A+ A+F Health & Safety: I have never felt unsafe on campus. The school is in a safe residential area and there are always public safety patrolmen on duty. There is also a van service safe rides that will pick you up if you're walking back to campus and you feel unsafe.

In general, safety and security are not major concerns for most students, though the issue's visibility has been steadily increasing in recent years. Off-campus muggings are becoming more common, as are burglaries of University-owned townhouses. As the Department of Public Safety is fond of reminding students, however, most of these incidents are wholly avoidable (Georgetown students have a particular fondness for walking home on deserted streets late at night and for, incredibly, leaving their front doors unlocked 24 hours a day). For the fortunate majority, therefore, security is only a peripheral concern at Georgetown. The most noticeable manifestation of the crime on campus is the increasing exasperation in emails from the campus police, who are particularly beguiled by the student body's surprise at the fact that common criminals have figured out how to negotiate unlocked door knobs.
The Department of Public Safety is, on occasion, responsive and effective, but for the most part, it seems that DOPS is more interested in making off with the keg dregs from a busted party than in patrolling the streets. The important thing to remember, then, is that Georgetown, quiet and well-painted as it is, is located in one of the largest cities in the country. Cities, as a general rule, come equipped with a certain number of unsavory persons, and so the scattered assaults and robberies that occur on and off campus should not dissuade anybody from coming to the Hilltop. A few simple precautions (such as not being drunk and alone in dark alleys at 3 a.m.) can make the Georgetown/D.C. environment as safe as that of any city campus in America.

Provincial police confiscated 450 cartons of illegal cigarettes in an operation that went down Wednesday morning in Quebec City.
I was quietly proud of Saskatchewan's decision to be true to itself — and not try to compete with some Hollywood/Broadway-style extravaganza
MONTREAL — Police investigators are trying to chase down a male driver who hotfooted his way from an unusual highway-crash scene about 2:15 a.m. Monday. He ran off after he crashed an SUV into the side of a Highway 20 overpass, leaving a wheel dangling and bashing a loosened piece of fencing onto the train tracks immediately below.
MONTREAL — A dozen motorists learned the hard way that roads conditions this time of year can be very slippery. There was a pileup Monday night on Highway 19 southbound over the Papineau-Leblanc Bridge linking Laval to Montreal. The lightly falling rain turned to ice on the cold surface of the bridge and the chain-reaction accident happened just before 11 p.m., completely closing the bridge in the southbound direction for an hour. Tow trucks were needed to take many of the cars off the bridge. No serious injuries were reported.
Two new independent reports are playing down the benefits of the recently concluded free trade deal with Europe, casting doubts on the Harper government's contention that it is key to Canada's economic prosperity.The reports from Capital Economics and, most recently, the Royal Bank, predict the agreement, called CETA, will be a net benefit for Canada but that the gains are still too early to determine, or will be modest.

UPDATE, 2 p.m.: Leonardo Palumbo was found safe Tuesday afternoon. MONTREAL — Police are asking for help from the public in locating a senior. Leonardo Palumbo, 85, was last seen on Monday morning when he drove a family member from his home in St-Léonard. He is 5 feet 10 inches tall, 190 pounds, with thinning white hair, brown eyes and he wears glasses. Palumbo's vehicle is a pale green model 2000 Dodge Caravan, license plate 517-LAH. Palumbo can be easily confused.
Growing up, I was frowned upon for playing in the mud. Mom and dad kept saying something about all the laundry and tracking dirt into the house. I didn't see the big deal, really.
MONTREAL — A motorist, temporarily distracted by a mosquito in his car, plowed into the back of a van carrying intellectually handicapped people on Monday morning. The collision took place at 7:45 a.m. in South Shore Mercier at the intersection of Ste-Marguerite Blvd. and Vallée St. The driver of the Suburban SUV told police that he was swatting away a bug when he hit the back of the minivan carrying six passengers. None of the people in the van were badly injured but all were taken to nearby Anna Laberge Hospital in Châteauguay as a precautionary measure. The female driver of the van was treated for nervous shock.
Flanked by his few remaining supporters, Guy Landry insisted Tuesday he's still in the race to replace Gilles Vaillancourt as the next mayor of Laval. \
MONTREAL - Laval firefighters had to put out a fire in a car Thursday night after someone threw a Molotov cocktail inside. The incident happened at 8:30 p.m. in the driveway of a home on Sherwood St. in the Chomedey district. The owner of the car didn't even live there, said Constable Franco Di Genova. He was visiting his mother. Someone smashed the back window of the Toyota Rav4 and threw the incendiary device inside the car.
The Infiniti M35 Hybrid that graced my driveway recently was painted in what the luxury Japanese brand calls Storm Front Grey.
One of three men who took part in an ill-fated home invasion in Beaconsfield has been granted day parole on the condition that he not associate with his notorious cousin. A written summary of the Parole Board of Canada's recent decision to grant day parole to Jonathan Cardinal, 33, reveals that the plan behind the home invasion, on Feb. 6, 2011, was to rob a drug dealer one of the men knew and then party at a bar with the stolen money.
MONTREAL - A 47-year-old man was released on Thursday with a promise to appear later in court after a striking worker was run down on a picket line. The event happened just before 6 a.m. Thursday outside the Transport Robert facility in Boucherville, as reported in The Gazette. The driver of a red Ford Explorer was detained by Longueuil police after a 64-year-old picket was pinned under his SUV. The strikers were from Kronos Worldwide Inc., a producer of pigments used in paint manufacturing. The workers were locked out of their Varennes plant mid-June following a 93-per-cent rejection of its latest contract offer by 320 employees represented by the Confédération des syndicats nationaux.

Numerous loveable and healthy pets are available for adoption from Placer County's animal shelters, and coupons covering half of the adoption fee are still available at the shelters in order to place as many adoptable animals into caring homes as possible. This fall promotion began November 15th and is continuing through December 15th. Residents are encouraged to celebrate the season of giving thanks by providing a home to one of these pets and by taking advantage of the half-off pet adoption coupons while they are available.
Placer County Animal Services is able to offer the half-off coupons due to charitable contributions and the support of A New Hope Animal Foundation. The generosity of the community and of A New Hope to help find homes for more dogs and cats is greatly appreciated. The coupons are available for all adoptable animals at both county shelter locations in Auburn and in Tahoe Vista. Residents need only to arrive at a shelter, select their new pet, get a coupon on the spot, and pay half of the usual fee. The half-off fee will be $56 for dogs and $46 for cats. As always, the adoption fee is all-inclusive, including the cost of altering, vaccinations, registration, and microchip identification, and all adoptable animals have undergone evaluations for health, behavior and temperament.
"We've seen a bountiful increase in the number of dogs and cats that have come into our shelter this year," says Mike Winters, Animal Services Manager. "What better way to show gratitude and celebrate the season than with the gift of a new beginning for a needy dog or cat? A new pet could be a great addition to your family."
"It's our pleasure to work with Placer County Animal Services to help promote the animals in the Placer County shelters," says Lynn Howe, President of A New Hope Animal Foundation. "Many people aren't aware of the wonderful animals in our county shelters and it's our hope that this promotion will help these pets find new homes in time for the holidays this season." A New Hope Animal Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization, is a valued partner of Placer County Animal Services and assists the county staff with animal care and adoptions.
The Auburn animal shelter is located at 11251 B Avenue, Auburn, and the Tahoe Vista shelter is located at 849 Shelter Rd., Tahoe Vista. You can preview the animals available for adoption at www.petharbor.com or by using the "search" link on the shelter website at http://www.placer.ca.gov/animal.
Additional information about this fall half-off adopt-a-thon, including shelter hours, is available online on the shelter website provided above or by calling Placer County Animal Services at (530) 886-5540.

Fritzsche, Peter. "Nazi Modern." Modernism/Modernity 3.11996 1-22. 1 Dec 2008 .
The Nazis came to power because of the hopelessness of the German people due to the disastrous condition in which Germany was left following WWI. The people were not happy to see the Nazis in particular; they accepted them because they needed a change. The main goal of the Nazis was to exterminate the Jewish people, yet most Germans did not agree with this agenda. The Nazis embraced technology and made Germany's economy more industrialized and more technologically advanced. Because of this some people, oversimplify the Nazis' impact on Germany and say that they were modernizers. The more complex view argues that Nazis were modernists. As modernists, the Nazis sought racial purification in an attempt to unify and strengthen the German society so that it would be "strong and homogeneous enough to prosper in the dangerous era of world wars" (Fritzsche). This racial purification in conjunction with increased social programs were measures to promote national health and were seen as modern ways to better German society. In theory, these practices could have made German society very strong and unified, but these apparent benefits do not justify the mass murders that were made necessary to carry out the racial purification. This racial purification, ultimately, destroyed German society because the wrath of the world for the murderous injustices Germany was committing.
The initial background for the argument of this article is that the people were never won over by the Nazis. This information offers a new perspective. This lack of all out support by the people may be the reason that Goebbels and the Nazis were so concerned with maintaining public support. If their support was a given, surely Goebbels would not have spent so many resources on propaganda like Kolberg. The overarching goals of the Nazis for unity also explain why the public's consensus with the goals of the Nazi Party was so desirable. In creating a unified German society, surely the Nazis not only wanted unification with race and appearance, but unification with the thoughts and minds of the German people. The Nazis felt that this unification was key to strength in this dangerous world. The Nazis' great desire to attain strength for the German society is explained by the way Germany was left crushed following WWI. Overall, the desire for the unification of German society explains why such a high value was placed on propaganda and therefore, film, its most important medium.
