Select Local Merchants
Jcp PortraitRead MoreFor decades, JCPenney Portraits has welcomed families into its friendly studios, where professional photographers expertly photograph subjects of any age. Digital cameras, professional lighting, and a wide selection of backgrounds all work together to ensure a professional, personalized look for every family portrait, school picture, business headshot, or baby announcement. To customize the session even more, the staff also encourages guests to incorporate items with special meaning such as a baby blanket or a family heirloom. From a first baby portrait to senior pictures and engagement photos, JCPenney Portraits helps to preserve special family memories to come. After the final flash, clients and a team member head to the viewing kiosk, where they can select their photos and customize them. Beyond traditional printed portraits, memories may also be preserved on high-resolution CD, gallery wraps, wall art, or through JCPenney Portraits' archival program, which allows clients to store and share their portraits online.1200 Baltimore PikeSpringfield, PA US
Olan Mills Portrait StudioRead MoreArmed with an army of innovative and certified shutterbugs, Olan Mills Portrait Studio provides families with high-quality portraits, continuing a mission that was established more than 75 years ago by founder Olan Mills Sr. Skilled in the art of capturing infants, children, families, and bunny-ears-giving ghost orbs on film, Olan Mills's experienced smile snappers will take a series of poses amid a variety of backgrounds and lighting options. The studio is equipped with a selection of props—including numbers for birthdays, toys, and boxes—and patrons may bring their own photo-enlivening items from home. The resulting photos find their way to prints in natural color, black and white, or sepia tones; they can also be immortalized in the studio's signature Old Masters style, a canvas brushed with highlights to recreate look of an oil painting. Like the gentlemanly mariners of ages past with their full schedule of sea-battles, the photographers welcome appointments, but do not require them.3000 Island AvePhiladelphia, PA US
Pennsylvania BalletRead MorePennsylvania Ballet has deep ties to dance history. The company was formed in 1963 by Barbara Weisberger, a prot?g? of the great George Balanchine. Perhaps due to that remarkable connection, the ballet's mission has always been to celebrate the classics. An annual staging of Balanchine's The Nutcracker and other favorites pay tribute to dance's traditional beauty. But the artists still look to the future of the art form, which surprisingly doesn't involve pieces set to laserbeats. The group is known for innovative takes on canonical fixtures, from a re-imagined Swan Lake to the world premiere of Matthew Neenan's Carmina Burana.1420 Locust StPhiladelphia, PA US
Golden Gate ElectronicsRead MoreDuring the challenge, teams of two or more individuals will run helter-skelter around the city in a frantic race for cash prizes and personal pride, with a first-place award of $200. Not only will participants have to solve strands of interconnected clues that would test the deductive powers of even the most seasoned consulting detective, they'll need to plot spatiotemporal stratagems while exploring undiscovered corners of the city. Although being physically fit is a plus, quick wits and wise planning will ultimately determine the winners. Participation in the challenge gets contestants a clue packet, race-number bib, souvenir T-shirt, and bottled water, and the entry fee also helps toward contributions to the prize pool. The website offers a regular FAQ, as well as a Groupon FAQ with further details on the intricacies of the race, what to wear the day of, why it's not okay to bring a boa constrictor, and more.417 Callowhill StPhiladelphia, PA US
Moon Bounce PhiladelphiaRead MoreNot only does Moon Bounce Philadelphia deck out parties with more than 20 rainbow-colored inflatables, it also delivers peace of mind. Each of its bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses, and combo units is registered with the state through the Department of Agriculture and cleaned before anyone sets foot on it. Large or toddler-size bounce houses meet the antigravity needs of a traditional birthday celebration, whereas specialty inflatables such as the pirate-ship combo unit—complete with a faux crow's nest—complement themed parties and train Navy recruits. Interactive inflatables such as the basketball-shot model sharpen the aim of sports buffs, and a wet-dry slide safely catches fast-moving riders with a bumper wall. The 40-foot Ninja Jump obstacle course, meanwhile, challenges kids and adults to maneuver around horizontal and vertical pop-ups, through tunnels, and over rock walls to reach the end.2401 Pennsylvania AvePhiladelphia, PA US
The Party Animals PhiladelphiaRead MoreIn backyards, on neighborhood blocks, and across green parks, The Party Animals Philadelphia's large inflatables take shape, transforming any space into fantastic fun houses. Those shapes include large, air-filled slides, regal castles, and more, and they can be accompanied by concessions such as popcorn machines and hot-dog cookers. They do the setup and takedown, allowing party people to attend to their birthdays, carnivals, and corporate events. As a special touch sure to delight the little ones, they can also populate shindigs with costume characters such as Elmo and Winnie the Pooh.8001 Castor AvePhiladelphia, PA US

The human brain makes it look easy. What our eyes see, we decode immediately and effortlessly. But is it that simple? In truth, how we process images is staggeringly complex. Inspired in part by our remarkable neurons, deep learning is a fast-growing area in machine learning research that shows promising breakthroughs in speech, text and image recognition. It's based on endowing a neural network with many hidden layers, enabling a computer to learn tasks, organize information and find patterns on its own.
Recently, SAS took on a classical problem in machine learning research, the MNIST database, a data set containing thousands of handwritten digit images. Learn how we did – and what it reveals about the future of deep learning.

If you think MMA is just a toy for small hip startup game companies -- you'd be wrong. From car companies like Kia and Land Rover to banking companies like ING and retailers like Starbucks, Walgreens and Macy's, enterprises are leading the charge in this space -- and winning the fight for marketshare in their verticals. When it comes to mobile marketing automation, the enterprise has a unique problem -- many MMA solutions are built for small app dev houses and don't have a feature set equipped to tackle enterprise-grade demands.
VB Insight surveyed 375 mobile developers and 1.8 million apps to uncover the hottest MMA solutions. We also figured out the best bets for the big guys and some best practices from industry leaders.
What you'll learn
•How top enterprises are using mobile marketing automation to reach their audience
•How to MMA can be the x-factor for achieving value back to the organization

We do not want Big Data! We want the right data to answer the right questions!
Data is changing our world. Predictions using massive data not only have improved many products. At the same time, they have, in some industries, disrupted business models and created new ones.
What does an organization need to do to generate a new competitive advantage out of data? The answer might be surprising. "Change the state of mind."
Companies often do not need big data. They essentially want small and actionable advice. Some predictions will need big data to surface relevant information, but not all. The key to success for many companies, however, is to enable "datadriven" decision making. Lutz will discuss the steps he has used in starting and developing his own company (later sold to WPP), as well as how he leads LinkedIn's data science team.
A) Change the state of mind!
Enable everyone in the company to ask "data driven" questions. Lutz will show how this is the hardest part of the ongoing exercise, but why most businesses actually can achieve this with their current strategic abilities. Using examples we will learn what is the best way to formulate the "Ask".
B) What data?
Data can be a source of disruption & innovation. Business models change because new data sources and enhanced computational power allows new services or improve old services. But which data to use? Domain knowledge is often more important than having "Big Data". Lutz will introduce a framework on how to think about data.
C) How to build a Data Team?
How can organizations build up data capabilities within your team. Contrary to the common discussion that a data scientist are not 'hard to find'. Lutz will explain how every company can create a data science organization by just mixing the right skillets.

Successful Application Consolidation & Migration: Data Management Best Practices
Philip Russom-Research Director TDWI, Rob Myers-Technical Delivery Manager & Paul Garstang-ILM Specialist Informatica
May 28 2015
61 mins
According to Gartner, "through 2019, more than 50% of data migration projects will exceed budget and/or result in some form of business disruption due to flawed execution."(1) Furthermore, 1 in 6 large IT projects go over budget by 200%, according to a Harvard Business Review article. It is widely recognized that application migration and consolidation projects are "risky business" – high-ticket items for the corporation, with a scary chance of failing. If you are undertaking any IT modernization or rationalization project, such as consolidating applications or migrating applications to the cloud or 'on-prem' application, such as SAP, this webinar is a must-see.
The webinar is going to shine the light on the critical role that data plays in the success or failure of these projects. Application data consolidation and migration is typically 30% to 40% of the application go-live effort. There is a multitude of data issues that can plague a project like this and lead to its doom, and these are not always recognized and understood early on, which is the biggest problem.
In this webinar, Philip Russom of TDWI will walk us through the potential data pitfalls a corporation should consider when undertaking an application consolidation or migration project. Philip will share best practices for managing data in order to minimize risks and ensure on-time and on-budget delivery of these projects. Rob will discuss Informatica's unique methodology and solution to support these best practices. Rob will also share real-life examples on how Informatica is helping customers reduce risks and complete application consolidation and migration projects on budget and on schedule.

Leveraging FDA Quality Systems for SOX Compliance
Feb 13 2014
57 mins
Ashley Peacock, Dave Hawley
Many companies in Healthcare and the Life Sciences implemented quality systems in their IT departments to meet the requirements of the FDA and EMEA, only to find out a few years later that they also needed systems to manage compliance required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Now they have two quality systems, making it difficult for IT personnel to know which to use, and often causing redundant work. This webcast will give an overview of how to leverage your existing FDA quality systems to meet SOX requirements and discuss where existing quality systems need to be augmented to also meet the requirements of SOX.

We've all noticed it, and Democrats don't comment. But our enemies always seem to favor Democrats as America's president, and often they do comment. President Obama is returning the favor. Victor Davis Hanson explains why. Obama has made such a mess domestically that he's looking for help abroad to prop up his legacy. To wit:
... Nobel Laureate Obama logically sees that history's positive verdict on his tenure must come from abroad. He will normalize relations with Castro's Cuba and let others worry whether there is any reciprocity on issues of longstanding disagreement. History will record the fact of normalization, not transient details concerning human rights. Obama will bring Iran into the fold of nations — its nuclear-weapons program soon accorded the status of Pakistan's. He will work with Islamic radical groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, acknowledging their legitimate grievances and helping them to forge a new generation of Middle Eastern leaders. He has not given up on Erdogan's Turkey as a logical bridge between Islamic and Western nations. He has tried to reset relations with Putin and will try again, as he stealthily promised President Medvedev before the 2012 elections. Israel will be accorded the status of Switzerland or Belgium, a minor entity deserving of normal U.S. relations, but not of extraordinary American commitments.
Two more from Nationalreview.com: Enemies of the West Find a Friend in Obama about Obama's seemingly hostile attitude toward Israel; and Is the Obama Administration Readying More Concessions to Russia?.
Democrats have been the best ally our enemies have had since the war in Vietnam.

Then it was almost time for Gloam House to be open, so, passing by the organic food shop for lunch supplies, we drove back to Rosemarkie and were just parking as the nice volunteer came out to open the doors. We joked that we had been queueing all night, and he proudly informed the other volunteer that "an orderly queue had formed outside."

Kim Clijsters crashes out of French Open
Thursday 26 May 2011
Kim Clijsters blamed a loss of confidence for her shock second-round defeat by Arantxa Rus at the French Open today.
The second seed, who was going for a third consecutive grand slam title, looked in control at a set and 5-2 up but she missed two match points and from there it was all downhill as Rus won 11 of the last 12 games to triumph 3-6 7-5 6-1.
Asked to explain her dramatic slump, Clijsters said: "I'm still trying to figure that out. I felt kind of in control. I felt like she was missing quite a lot at the beginning of the rallies, and I felt that I was moving her around well from side to side.
"Then I started doubting a little bit. I think, on clay, that is something that for me is definitely the wrong attitude to have.
"She obviously started building up more confidence, started playing a lot better and was really putting me on my back foot all the time. I couldn't really play my aggressive tennis anymore in that third set."
Clijsters was playing at the French Open for the first time since 2006 and in her first tournament of any kind since March following an ankle injury sustained at a cousin's wedding.
The Belgian refused to blame that for her loss, though, saying: "My ankle feels fine, so that has absolutely nothing to do with it.
"I made the best of the situation that I was in and I tried to go for it. If I felt like I wasn't ready as much as I would have liked to be, I wouldn't have come here."
Clijsters was a major doubt for the tournament because of her lack of preparation but she insisted she had no regrets about her decision to play in Paris.
"I'm happy that I did that, that I gave myself the opportunity," she added. "It's better to try than not to try, that's my attitude.
"I'm not going to sit here and say maybe I shouldn't have come here. That's the attitude of a real loser I think. I gave it the best that I had and with my abilities that I had. So I definitely don't regret it."
Rus, through to the third round of a grand slam for the first time, described the victory as the biggest of her career.
The 20-year-old, who is ranked outside the top 100, said: "This is for sure my biggest win. It was really nice to play against her. She's a real hero. I played fantastic tennis.
"When I was 5-2 down in the second set, I was thinking, 'Just go for it and play more aggressive.' And that really helped. At 6-5 I had a really good serve game, and then I won the set. Then I was thinking, 'Yeah, I can win this match."'
There were no problems for ninth seed and dark horse Petra Kvitova, who eased past Zheng Jie 6-4 6-1, while 12th seed Agnieszka Radwanska saw off India's Sania Mirza 6-2 6-4.
At least one Belgian did make it through, 21st seed Yanina Wickmayer beating Ayumi Morita 6-4 7-5, but 27th seed Alexandra Dulgheru was dumped out by fellow Romanian Sorana Cirstea.

Quote of the day: Are the Eagles the Heatles?
Aug 1, 2011, 12:14 PM EDT
Philadelphia Eagles fans are pretty pumped right now, their club has gone on a post lockout spending spree — Nnamdi Asomugha, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and Vince Young. Well, we'll see how much Young really helps, and they may want to get Long Beach's own DeSean Jackson back in camp, but still the Eagles are looking good.…

Soul-sucking 'dementor' wasps and 8 other crazy new species
Soul-Sucking Dementor Wasp
Latin name: Ampulex dementor
Topics: Faisal Shahzad, Parenting, Times Square Bomb Attempt, Life News
A few months ago, I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. During my pregnancy, my husband and I both took great pleasure in making lists of names, scouring the Internet and pestering friends and families for suggestions. When our daughter finally came into this world, we gave her a name that was universal in its beauty, simplicity and association: Mariam. Mariam is the Muslim version of the name Mary, given to the mother of the Prophet Isa, whom Christians know as Jesus. Mariam, or Mary, is acknowledged in all of the Abrahamic religions. We both felt it was a fitting name for an individual born in such divided times.
The real dilemma occurred, however, when we were debating her surname. Typically, the father's surname is passed down to children, making it the "family name." My husband's surname is Shahzad. (No other shoe will drop: His first name is not Faisal.) Shahzad means "prince" in Persian. My husband's parents gave him that name despite the fact that his family name is actually Sheriff. Faced with whether to pass on "Shahzad" or "Sheriff," we chose the latter. I felt passing on the true family name would give her a sense of continuity and place. On Tuesday, as I watched the news channels announce the arrest of Faisal Shahzad, it felt like the best decision of my life.
For American Muslims, a name has become a very loaded thing. Since 9/11, when names like Muhammad, Ahmed, Abdul and Hasan appeared on the FBI's terrorist watch list and burned themselves into the national psyche, the lives of American Muslims have been affected by their names like never before. When parents name their children now, that list hovers ominously in the back of their minds. A pregnant friend of mine recently dropped the name Osman from her list, fearing it sounded too much like Osama. (Osman was a beloved Caliph and companion of the Prophet Muhammad.) Several friends have skipped Muslim names altogether, opting for Western-sounding names like Ayden and Mona, something that vexes family matriarchs to no end. No one can blame them for their paranoia; a name that is even close to the names on the terrorist list can subject the bearer to painfully long background checks at airports, denials of job applications, and strange stares at the bank, doctor's office and at school. Bearers of overtly Muslim names are vulnerable to discrimination and open hostility. Names are catching up to color as one of the major factors in hate crimes.
In these times — when enemies are uncertain, when danger comes from so many sides — it feels like the only thing that might be more important than the actual crime is the name of the criminal. When national tragedies appear on the front page, we scour the article for the name of the offender. Who did it? Who is to blame? The name even determines our personal and collective categorization of the crime; if the name of the perpetrator is Muslim, it is an act of terrorism. If the name is black, white or Hispanic-sounding, it is simply a criminal incident. The name dictates our response to the action, affects our law enforcement and homeland security strategies. It even colors our foreign policy.
In the midst of all this, am I glad that teachers will skip over my child's name without a second thought? Absolutely, for Mariam's sake. Yet a part of me is saddened by the thought that beautiful Muslim names, with rich meanings like "Servant of God," "One who is just" or "Follower of the righteous path" — names associated with peaceful and distinguished men and women who contributed greatly to Islamic society and the world — will now slowly be abandoned because the parents of a few cowards named their children after these great men and women but forgot to teach them the honor with which they lived.
