Should you find yourself in Haiti, beware of the man they call the bokor. Vodou tradition warns that he may secretly sprinkle a powder onto you, causing you to fall ill and quickly die — apparently. Doctors can examine you and find no pulse, no respiration. You'll be buried and your friends and family will attend the funeral. Then, one night, the bokor will come and exhume your body, and administer a mysterious antidote. Your body will wake up, but your consciousness and personality will be gone. Your body will be a dumb slave, eating, breathing, working, following the bokor's commands, perhaps even sold into labor; until it grows old, the joints fail, and not even the bokor's magic can keep it going. The remainder of your life will be as a zombie.
To study the phenomenon of zombies, we have to answer a number of questions. We want to know if the Vodou tradition actually does include zombies, or if it's merely a dramatized caricature invented by storytellers to frighten Western audiences. We want to know if this has ever actually happened to anyone, the way it's described. Finally, if these answers are all yes, we want to find out if there is a pharmacologically plausible explanation for what's said to take place.
The first question is easily answered. Vodou tradition does include zombies, and belief in zombies is nearly universal among Haitians. 50% of the population self-identify as Vodou, and most of the rest call it Catholicism, though it's really a syncretism of the Afro-diasporic roots along with what the French missionaries taught. It's polytheistic and includes both white magic and black magic, and its ceremonies often involve drug-induced trances believed to be possession by gods. Bokors (Vodou sorcerers) openly practice zombification, and though few Haitians have ever met a zombie, even fewer doubt that it happens.
The second question, whether zombification has ever actually taken place, is the most important, and one that's all too often taken for granted in such mysteries. Before trying to explain a strange event, first establish that the strange event ever actually happened. If there's one thing I've learned from Skeptoid, it's that that answer is no more often than you'd think. Are there actually any reliably documented cases of people being raised from the grave and living out their lives as mindless slaves?
The most familiar case is that of the man who is the subject of Wade Davis' 1985 book The Serpent and the Rainbow, the Haitian man Clairvius Narcisse. In 1962, Narcisse was about 40 years old when he checked himself into the hospital complaining of pain and difficulty in breathing. Two days later he was dead, and his official death certificate is on file. His body lay in the morgue for 24 hours (in unsurvivable refrigeration) until his family collected his body and buried him in the family plot. 18 years later, Narcisse suddenly identified himself to his sister in the street and told a shocking tale. He'd been conscious but unable to move or breathe during his entire stay in the hospital and subsequent burial. After three days underground, his coffin was suddenly opened. He was beaten, gagged, forced to take a hallucinogenic drug, and dragged away to face two years of slave labor on a sugar plantation, as one of many similarly imprisoned zombies. He reported being in a dream state with no willpower the whole time. Finally another zombie killed a captor with a hoe, and the zombies all escaped. Narcisse wandered for sixteen years, afraid to return home, convinced that his brother had been behind the plot. Then, upon his brother's death, he visited his sister.
Narcisse has maintained his story, and even appeared in the 2008 documentary film When the Dead Walk. When Narcisse's story broke in 1982, Dr. Lamarque Douyon, director of Haiti's only modern psychiatric facility, wanted to know if the man was genuine. DNA fingerprinting was not yet available, so he questioned Narcisse, his family, family friends, and neighbors, and established to his satisfaction that today's Clairvius Narcisse was indeed the same person who was born and grew up with that name. It seemed to him that whatever zombification drug Narcisse had been given, if that was indeed the explanation, would be an important discovery. So he consulted with an associate in the United States, Dr. Nathan Kline, who sent the bright young Harvard graduate student Wade Davis to find it and investigate.
An ethnobotanist by trade, Davis was convinced that he'd found a satisfactory pharmacological explanation for what happened: the poison tetrodotoxin. He purchased samples of zombie powder from several bokors across Haiti, and though their preparations differed, he found three common ingredients: charred and crushed human bones, various plants with stinging spines, and pufferfish. Pufferfish is famous for being the source of the expensive and risky sushi fugu, which if not properly prepared, can administer a lethal dose of the neurotoxin tetrodotoxin. It comes from a bacteria that grows within pufferfish, newts, toads, and a number of other animals. Although they've built up resistance, for humans and predators it's deadly. Tetrodotoxin blocks a sodium channel in nerve cell membranes, preventing the nerves from being able to fire any muscles. In sufficient doses, which for humans is very small, it stops all muscle activity, including not only the voluntary muscles, but also the heart and muscles that control breathing. The victim is conscious but as there is no pulse or respiration, he loses consciousness and dies within minutes from the lack of blood flow to the brain. There is no antidote or treatment. However the effect is temporary, and a few fugu diners have recovered after their apparent death, having received just barely enough dosage to wear off before the brain was lethally damaged.
Davis asked about Narcisse's report of having been beaten and drugged when he was exhumed. The bokors said that zombies are force fed a paste made of sweet potatoes, cane syrup, and a plant called Datura. Along with nightshade and henbane, datura has long been used in many cultures as a hallucinogenic drug. It contains scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and atropine. But as a recreational drug, it's quite dangerous, and would need to be administered by someone experienced in its use, such as a bokor.
And so Davis published his book with this thesis: that tetrodotoxin produces a state indistinguishable from death, but that bokors have some way of resuscitating the victims, who have suffered sufficient brain damage from hypoxia that they live out their lives virtually as vegetables. But it received much scientific criticism, which focused on the zombie powder. Authors Takeshi Yasumoto and C.Y. Kao wrote in the British journal Toxicon that although pufferfish was indeed in Davis' powder, only insignificant amounts of tetrodotoxin were; and since tetrodotoxin breaks down quickly in water or in alkaline environments, it was implausible for it to be delivered as a poison in powdered form. However, the bokor preparations were all inconsistent with one another; some might have been stronger. In 1984, Dr. John Hartung at Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn fed Davis' zombie powder to rats, rubbed it on their skin, and even injected it into their abdomens, and observed no effect.
From assessing the criticism and responses, my analysis is that a very few zombie powders are likely to deliver a dose of tetrodotoxin, and most are not. If bokors do indeed attempt to poison victims with their powders, the vast majority of such attacks will fail. Either an insufficient dose will be delivered, or the victim will die. Only once in a blue moon is it likely for a zombification to result in both a lucky knockout and a resuscitation, and the level of brain damage will be correspondingly variable. It's plausible, but unlikely; and if it happens at all, successes are probably extremely rare.
Skeptical criticism of Davis also pointed out that the entire case of Clairvius Narcisse is based on a flawed presumption. Even with all the documentation and evidence, and all the research done by Dr. Douyon, there is no reason to identify Narcisse as the man who died and was buried.
Haiti is not known for its wealth. In 1962, a hospital stay was beyond the means of many residents. The hospital where Narcisse is alleged to have died, the Albert Schweitzer Medical Center, charged $5 a day for local residents, and a higher rate for non-locals. But poor non-locals got sick too, and it was not unheard of for them to check in under the name of a local to qualify for the lower rate. We have no evidence to rule out the likelihood that some unknown man developed a fatal kidney failure (which is what the lab tests showed as the cause of death), checked in using Clairvius Narcisse's name, and subsequently died.
It turns out that there is a perfectly plausible reason that the real Narcisse might have been just fine with this. In his younger days, he had been something of the family black sheep. He had a number of illegitimate children whose mothers demanded support, and some other bad debts, and was not well respected. In fact, during Dr. Douyon's interviews, he learned that the family considered Narcisse's sins to be the reason that the bokors had punished him with zombification. It all made sense to them. And, for a man with Narcisse's skeletons in the closet, seeking a change of scenery is hardly unheard of. Perhaps in his later years he had a change of heart and wanted to reconnect with his family. Considering the convenient circumstances, his zombification was a perfect cover story.
Obviously this theory is unproven, but consider the alternative: He survived two days, conscious but with no heart or lung function and no oxygen to the brain, 24 hours of which were spent in hypothermic refrigeration in the morgue. He then spent three more days underground, and all of this with failed kidneys that lab tests showed were fatal; then emerged in perfect health and managed hard labor at the sugar plantation for years. Is all of that more plausible than a deadbeat dad simply skipping town?
We could go on all day and examine the many stories like that of Narcisse, but the rest lack his documentation and are anecdotal at best, despite their abundance. Vodou practitioners drug themselves regularly and perform zombie rituals, and some probably go for extended periods under the influence of datura. Almost certainly, in Haiti's history, some have been poisoned by tetrodotoxin in zombie powder and survived, though any with sufficient brain damage to be called "zombies" had questionable utility as laborers and certainly would never have recovered. The grain of truth in the zombie mythology is a real one, but its popular portrayal — even within Haiti — is an exaggeration based on tradition and superstition.

I just saw this event dramatized on William Shatner's TV series WEIRD OR WHAT...? In my opinion, even if there's no magical or paranormal explanation for Narcisse's tale, I still think its intriguing that a man could fake his own death, or be mistaken for a dead individual, only to return to his family years later.
Being mistaken for dead used to be far more common than we realise.
You only need to read ancient texts such as testaments to realise that.
I seen Serpent and the Rainbow - one of my favorite scary movies - interesting article, thx
Even with today's technology we still hear of folks who were given up as dead, 'wake up' to the embarrassment of the medical team, we know it happens and of course in a superstitious world the supernatural is the ONLY explanation.
As for this Haitian fellow, it is indeed possible that he 'done a runner' to avoid the mess he made of his life. Although the podcast said the guy's family collected and buried him, which surely means either; a) they were in on it or b) the guy who went to hospital with the kidney problem's family collected the corpse.
With the misidentification or deliberate fraud scenario Narcisse must have known something as to what was going on with respect to the hospitalized chap.
Is the original grave where Narcisse was buried known? Surely it's just a matter of digging it up and seeing who is in there, if there is 'Muhahahaha'.
Yet again we have a situation where folks are claiming something as 'fact' without there being any real proof whatsoever. Records can be forged, erroneous identity, heck even in this computer age we still get surgeons hacking the wrong bit off of the wrong patient!!
No proof, no reality as I can see it, anecdote and belief is not proof!! but people will still believe. I have been on forums where some fool starts threatening hexes, Vodou or some nonsense. I'm still breathing and only as 'zombie-fied' as I have ever been!!!
The lesson from this podcast is that sushi can be more deadly than Vodou lol
@SDenise: There are, as far as I know, several different variants of Vodou, just as there are many different variants of Christianity. But the history of the religion (and yes, it is a religion, and not one to fear in any way, I agree) is that it started as a meshing of new Christian beliefs with old African beliefs by the slaves who were forced out of their homes to live in a strange new world.
Over the decades, it changed, and became different things in different places. In Louisiana, for example, in the 1830s, it wasn't all that surprising to see Madame Laveau at the Saturday night gatherings in Congo Square, and meet her again at early mass in Saint Louis Cathedral. Both were considered valid alternatives. And she was known throughout both communities as being a pious, devout woman.
Brian you are part of the cover up! How do we not know you're not a zombie with you montone voice!? All kidding aside, how naive of you to think this couldn't be real! I have undeniable proof that these zombies exists; I have talked to several people who said they were zombified and are recovering. Not to mention, I saw the movie the Serpent and the Rainbow, you can't tell me that wasn't real, you can't make that stuff up. The government just wants you to believe that the movie wasn't a documentary! Brian you are a fool and are a patsy for the government! Keep up the "good" work.
It's easy to be a skeptic. What's difficult is accepting that we, as human beings in this 'modern' and 'civilized' era, do not know anything about the Dimensions beyond this one. It was lost long ago. We have regressed. We are addicted and dependent upon the 5-Sense Prison; a completely unreliable set of filters - limited ones at that. For example, within the range of electromagnetic vibrations from the Red to the Blue, we only see a sliver of it. If we do a comparison, substituting a yardstick, the range of light vibration that most of us perceive would be the thickness of a Spider's web strand. Now, Zombies & Zombification SOUND totally absurd. Yet, I'd like to suggest that hiding a Truth in plain sight by using drama and hyperbole is a practice that isn't just relegated to The Media and politicians. Griots (the singing story tellers of W Africa) and Curanderas (S American medicine women) employ these tactics regularly to teach or pass on concepts & info yet safe-guard sacred ancestral knowledge & secrets. They can make a issue seem so ridiculous and implausible yet what they are presenting is completely true and accurate. The kind of Power possessed by those practitioners, around the World, is honed in the Realm of the Soul & Spirit. If it were to fall into the hands of arrogant, ignorant fools who have no respect for Tradition, Earth, Universe or the sovereignty of their own kind would be a disaster a thousand times worse than any bomb or biological weapon.
You really dont expect a challenge to that Mr Mestena?
I think its about time a few of these "dimensional" commenters actually had the chance to apologise.
Sorry Mr Mestena in that i didnt post sooner and you werent offered the opportunity for a mea culpa (eg, the Tapas bar was thrumming!) and your mother in law had a months opportunity to read your Aug 12 post for a whole month.
I now understand where mothers in law have a real position.
Took me a damned 38 years.
God forbid I have a son in law..
Anyway Mr Mestina, mea culpa away..
On Tapas bars and new cuisine.. has anyone had those gelatinized olive juices? So godly I was committed to making them myself.

I take issue with the above post about our loss of understanding of "dimensions." First, not to belabor the obvious, can you even find a text with the word "dimension" in it from "ancient" times that is not a math paper?
More importantly: it is a total myth that we are trapped in a 5-sense prison. A moment's thought will show that we are trapped in a prison with far more senses. First, "touch" is neurologically several senses--the sensation of pain is distinct from the sensation of pressure, which is distinct from the sense of temperature differentials. Then there is our ability.to sense textures. A robot would require a distinct instrument to measure each of these, and other may be more. Other is also a sense of body position that has been highlighted by rare cases when somebody loses it: how do you know where your hands are when your eyes are closed? Finally, the sense of balance: totally distinct from all of the others.
I would argue the ability to think abstractly is like a quasi-sense in itself, but that's just a metaphor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by David90210 First class service, comfort, convenience A+ The staff consistently went above and beyond to both make sure I was happy and exceed my expectations. But they were never intrusive. HIGHLY recommend this. The nicest hotel by far in the area. May 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by NewCanaanHector Great Stay! Except for the large number of kids making lots of noise, the hotel stay was great. Sunday buffet is really good for brunch. May 25, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by jet34 Hotel was disappointing I stayed 2 weekends due to a business trip. The 1st booked by my friend, Sullivan, the 2nd booked by me. 1st stay. We requested a cot for a friend several days before our arrival and were assured there would be no problem. When we entered the room we could see it was too small. After a lengthy discussion with the front desk we were given another room, which we ended up not needing. When the cot arrived an absolutely wonderful gentleman informed us we had a pull out couch and asked if we wanted to use it and the cot would not crowd us. Breakfast - The hostess greeted us as if we were bothering her. (this was the better stay.) 2nd stay. Shower had hair on the shower walls. Again we were met by the same hostess at breakfast and her disposition was the same. when we asked for a bowl for cereal we were told the buffet was not ready yet. For $23 I would expect the buffet to be ready, the toaster required several attempts before the bread was toasted. I wanted to make sure the bill was charged to me and attempted to talk to the front desk person, who ignored me while she looked through some papers. When she addressed me and asked for the room # I gave it to her and she asked my name and when I told her she responded "then that's not your room #". She then found my name and admitted the room # was correct. After the 1st stay I was disappointed but I do realize everyone has a bad day and the gentleman who helped with the bed was great. After the 2nd stay I will not make excuses. As a business person I am required to perform in an acceptable manner and I would expect the same from persons in a service industry. I have stayed at other Westin Hotels and was very satisfied. May 18, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by SSstar Below par experience In general I am a fine of spg hotels but my stay at the Westin Waltham was below par. I checked into a room that was not guest ready, staff was less responsive than expected and the menu at the bar had just one vegetarian option, which was concerning. I paid a lot of money for my stay and the experience was not in line with that. I would stay here again if I had to but not otherwise. May 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by afgarcua44 Great Experience I completely forgot Starwood's experience, and due to my current project I was 'forced' to use the Westin in Waltham, remembering my fabulous experiences with Sheraton and Westin hotels. The hotel is pretty nice, food amazing and great customer service . Definitely I will be continuing using Starwood for my further stays. April 27, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by carlos71 The hotel has great location Overall everything was great. Found the sunday brunch a little pricy and the staff needs to be making sure the food is hot. It seems that the shaffing dishes didnt have sternos on. No body explain to us the price for the brunch when we were seated. April 23, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by ra299 Not the best hotel around - Uncomfortable bed linens - Found the restroom dirty during multiple stays - Horrible toilet flush pressure - Slow internet - Old and slow TVs - Thin walls allow sounds through adjacent rooms - Over expensive bar - Average food March 31, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by NewCanaanHector After the renovation It was good to return to the Westin Waltham. We were surprised by the new layout of the room. Sure the master switch is nowhere near usable when you're already in bed, but the layout makes the room more spacious. Our room's door was over part of the open atrium and, even though it was a Sunday, someone decided to start mounting an event at 06:00 hrs. You would do well to prevent such level of noise from entering a room. As always, staff was fantastic and the restaurant offered an excellent breakfast. March 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by MusicMom Still good but slow decline.... I've been coming to this hotel for six years now for the same Boston event. Although I would still recommend this hotel if I were asked about a place in the area, I have noticed customer service and condition of the rooms is gradually going down hill. In addition, when families are traveling, there are few reasonable options regarding food. The quality is good, but pricey, and the only other option is Starbuck's in the lobby, which closes in the evening. Further, it took 20 minutes for someone to pay attention in the restaurant and seat us, and staff seemed put out when I asked for the internet code as an SPG member. February 3, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by CDBender Very nice Hotel It is a very nice Hotel to stay at but the restaurant selection is limited, prices are high and the staff needs better people skills and organization February 1, 2015

Rated 4 out of 5 by mrd917 dont USE your CC nice hotel. carpet was very dirty. wore white socks and they were black afterwards. the restaurant prices were outrageous!!!! $32 buffet/Brunch ridiculous. they charged my CC 3 separate charges. Furious !!! pay for Internet? that's crazy and as for the King Bed wonderful night sleep so comfortable. January 26, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by TravellingNana Great place for a meeting. Was there for a meeting. Getting to the hotel was easy, the room was nice and met our needs. The meeting room and services were great. Food was perfect for a group and plenty to go around. Staff were friendly and helpful. Wish I had more time to just enjoy the hotel and area as I know there are great things to do in the area. December 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Otter01 A most pleasant staff Walked into the hotel and was greeted with smiles and a genuine interest in how I was doing. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food in the restaurant and the attentiveness of the staff. Beds were very comfortable and no problem falling asleep. December 5, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Elizabeth52 Two star service The facility itself was lovely, but had some significant problems like a broken elevator and chilly atrium. The staff, was more at a level of a two star than a four star. I would recommend some advanced. Slow check-in, no concierge, tea served to me without napkins, spoon or a place to put the tea bags, awakened by security knocking at my door at midnight to see "if there was smoke in my room", slow barista at Starbucks, an extremely slow bartender who took forever to make a martini. Definite two star service. November 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Smith0566 Breakfast was great all week due to Ali! Special orders or requests didn't trip Ali up at all. He's a true gift to the hotel. November 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Steve1491 Boston Visit I loved the hotel. The staff was very responsive. The facilities were great. It was close to Boston. The price was great and easy to Boston was great. I would definitely recommend a stay here. The rooms were clean and well appointed. November 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by GregoryH Poor customer service Still trying to get a copy of my portfolio emailed to me so I can submit my expense report. Team not helpful and keep getting transferred around. No recognition of my status at check-in and food in hotel is fast food level quality. The valet driver almost ran me over twice coming into the parking garage trying to quickly back-in to a spot without looking for oncoming cars. October 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kacey8 This hotel does not have great features Very comfortable room except no working fan in the bathroom. Disappointed there was no free internet connection and that water was 5.00 dollars a bottle. Seems a little steep. October 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Eguli Eguli Comfortable room with all ameities desired. However, why provide an iron and ironing board but no accessible A/C outlets in which to plug in the iron? More accesible outlets should be provided. October 1, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RovingReverend Great location, pool should be warmer Great place, discounted during Thanksgiving and Christmas. Valet parking. Right on the highway. Pool is too cold to get in. I swam on the North Shore of Boston's ocean which is about 60 degrees. I was told when I complained that it was a state law not to have it warmer. The Sheraton 20 miles west has a lovely, warm pool September 28, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by EthanBusinessGuy Rate-Switch Mid-Stay and Staff Responsiveness I have been a loyal customer of this hotel and of SPG brands. Hotel Management switch rates mid-stay and do not honor rate confirmations made upon reservation. Staff quality has gone dramatically down-hill and customer service is second to staff drama and attrition. Management operation of this hotel has gone from average to awful. September 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by BBBB34 check in 2nd time this week I checked in here and both times waited for 5-10 minutes at the front desk. Surely there is more than one person available to man the front desk at 6:30P. September 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by HawaiiGal Overnight Visit to Boston This was a perfect hotel to stay at when visiting Boston. It's close but without all the noise and high prices. I stayed here years ago and was hoping that I would be as happy this time. The hotel and customer service was great! September 24, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Goliemom Under construction This hotel's renovation was supposed to have been done before the end of August 2014...it wasn't. It was very inconvenient to get in and out of the hotel and get in to your car. the circle in front of the hotel was closed so people just didn't know where to go to meet people or drop someone off as the garage was quite a walk from the hotel. September 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by NYRes Boston move in day In Boston on Labor Day weekend to help with daughter's apartment move out-move in, not related to college. Westin Waltham made a dreary chore pleasant with delightful hospitality from front associate and director of rooms. It was great to just relax. August 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by richlee overall quality perfect place to stay if you have a child attending college in the area August 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by ira8yeli ira8yeli I stayed in the room for one night. When I was checking in I wasn't explained that all local phone calls from the room are not free. I made six phone calls to the local area code numbers and got a bill in the morning. An hour of conversation cost me $163. This is crazy!!!! The receptionist must advise guests how high is the rate and give a paper to sign. August 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Jordy Still not any closer... I've written several reviews about the Waltham Westin and while it is undergoing a massive renovation of it's common areas and perhaps parking garage, the staff still seem disconnected and still not able to recognize frequent / platinum members. I unfortunately left a less than ideal review last week when I stayed here and was greeted by a meat plate upon my arrival this week - a very nice and appreciated gesture, but I had already eaten and this plate had been sitting out for several hours prior to my arrival. I was definitely not about to touch it. I promptly called service to thank them but send it back. Service apologized and graciously offered to send me a fruit plate - I initially hesitated, but eventually relented and accepted the offer. The fruit plate never came. I didn't need it, but I wish it wasn't offered only to never be delivered! Unfortunately, par for the course here... August 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by JT101 Excellent service with expensive extras The staff, from the front desk to the doormen offer superior service, especially during the present construction program. The breakfast is extremely expensive and the Dunkin' Donuts across the street is a good alternative at less than half the price. Amazingly this hotel still charges a premium amount for wifi in its rooms. It should be an included in the already premium charge for a premium room. August 25, 2014

Alumni Association
All graduates of Michigan Christian College and Rochester College, as well as those who did not graduate yet completed a minimum number of credit hours, are automatically members of the Alumni Association. Currently, over 8,900 former students are members of this organization.
Brad McKenna ('02) serves as chairperson of the alumni board. Brad and Luke Fleer ('05) helped revitalize the board in 2012. At that time, Brad and Luke identified their goal as "the creation of a place where alumni can plug in to the college using their time, talents, and treasure." They planned an association that gives back to its members as well.
Alumni Engagement
The alumni board wants to engage alumni in five key areas. Let us know of your interests by contacting Larry Stewart at firstname.lastname@example.com and become an active member of the Alumni Association!
- Mentoring initiatives such as participation in special events, email contact, and internship arrangements designed to mentor students
- Leadership initiatives such as service on college committees and boards, coordination of class reunions, or leading special fundraising projects
- Ambassador initiatives such as assistance with regional alumni gatherings or student recruitment efforts
- Volunteer initiatives such as work on campus improvement projects, assistance with campus events, or making phone calls in the Alumni Call Center
- Fund-Raising initiatives such as financial support for scholarships, special projects, or campus improvements
Lake Norcentra Project
Lake Norcentra is a focal point on the campus of Rochester College. While students and alumni have enjoyed this natural and historic part of campus for decades, hundreds of walkers and cyclists now pass by Lake Norcentra every day on the Clinton River Trail.
The Alumni Association has selected revitalization of the lake area as one of its highest priorities. A conceptual design process involving alumni, campus personnel, governmental officials, and community organizations is underway to develop a master plan for the area. For more information about the project, visit the lake project website.
Alumni Board
A group of 20 alumni serve on the Alumni Association board. The board is helping provide the energy and creative ideas required to involve more individuals in an active Alumni Association.

The SOI (measure of atmospheric pressure associated
with El Niño & La Niña) was in neutral range during
May, but progressed significantly toward La Niña
(from -0.54 to +0.41, where +0.8 is considered
La Niña). It is likely that La Niña
conditions will be reached during the month of
June. This would indicate a substantial increase
in corn yield risk for the U.S. , shifting the
likely hood of a below trend yield from about 50/50
to 70%. Most of the risk increase would be in the
central and eastern areas of the Corn Belt.

|This article needs additional citations for verification. (November 2007)
Micromarketing was first referred to in the UK marketing press in November 1988 in respect of the application of geodemographics to consumer marketing.[1] The subject of micromarketing was developed further in an article in February 1990, which emphasised understanding markets at the local level, and also the personalisation of messages to individual consumers in the context direct marketing.[2] Micromarketing has come to refer to marketing strategies which are variously customised to either local markets, to different market segments, or to the individual customer.
Micromarketing is a marketing strategy in which advertising efforts are focused on a small group of highly targeted consumers. It requires a company to narrowly define a particular audience by a particular characteristic, and tailor campaigns for that particular segment; this technique, though, can be more expensive due to customization and an inability to scale up in size effectively. Micromarketing grew to prominence in the 1990s, as personal computers allowed easier segmentation and dissemination of information to customers. E-commerce websites are able to track the type of products that a consumer views or purchases, which allows the website to suggest related products. Four main levels of micromarketing are: segments, niches, local areas, and individuals.
History of micromarketing[edit]
With increased availability of electronic scanner data there has been a greater focus on research of micromarketing and pricing problems that retailers encounter. Research in 1995 by Stephen J. Hoch et al. provided empirical evidence for the micromarketing concept. In 1997, Alan Montgomery used hierarchical Bayes models to improve the estimation procedures of price elasticities, showing that micromarketing strategies can increase gross profits.[3]
The 21st century brought increasing technology, both digital and print, that supported highly targeted communication to both small groups and individuals. This technology allowed marketers to create messaging specifically tailored to the recipient. Early efforts included a variety of attention-earning personalization, such as direct mail with the recipient's name creatively woven into a brochure's graphics. As name inclusion did not add to content value, marketers soon focused on inclusion of content that brought focused value to the recipient. An early example was a Xerox campaign the featured a brochure mailed to a single recipient and featuring the photos and features of the exact automobile model of interest to the recipient. Later evolution has included messaging aimed at the specific life-cycle stage of the recipient, for example: target ideal client; newly met acquaintance; active prospect; new client; and repeat client. Higher level micromarketing combines (aka micro-marketing) combines these elements; for example specific product information forwarded to existing clients who might reasonably step up to a different model.

I will never understand the hype of this product. I actually returned my Diorshow mascara to Sephora because it underwhelmed me so much. All I require in a mascara is that it holds up to grease from my pizza face.
Diorshow mascara smudged instantly, so obviously it didn't meet that expectation. My other issue with this mascara is that it is so expensive yet preforms no better than a drugstore brand. The lasting power, volume, and lengthening abilities are nothing special. I mean it, you can find plenty of drugstore mascaras that are better than this. I actually would compare it to Maybelline's Full n Soft in terms of formula & brush design. Full N Soft is not my absolute favorite mascara, yet I'd choose it over Diorshow.
Don't waste your money on this.

Doesn't last long, smudges like crazy. After a couple of hours I have raccoon eyes. I get the better results with CoverGirl LashBlast waterproof and it lasts longer. Won't repurchase.

I have stick straight lashes... this holds the curl from my eyelash curler all day. No smudging, even though I live in florida. This product fans out my lashes beautifully while avoiding the common hazard of clumpiness. I loved the dry formula. Great product!

I have very thin, short lashes but with really good mascaras I get very easy a diva look with long, thick, voluminous lashes. That was the case with this mascara in WP formulation. It lasted for several months, no clumping, just beautiful long lashes. But it is pricey a little bit. From other reasons I don't use waterproof mascaras anymore - otherways I would repurchase it anyway.

Love Diorshow mascara! it's the closest to a holy grail I've found yet, makes lashes look long, thick and black, goes on well and has good staying power- very rarely clumps.
My only issue is the brush is ma-husive! So unfortunately it's almost impossible to apply without smudging some on along the lash lines, my remedy is just to apply a faint smokey liner to disguise it! If you're good with mascara it's fine but I wouldn't recommend this to amateurs.
I'm on my 3rd tube of this now so it's definitely the forerunner as I haven't bought another more than once, also at around �25 it's in line with most high end brands but seems to last much longer.
*TIP when you first buy it the consistency is quite wet so try leaving the spoolie (brush) out while you apply your base etc. it should have dried just enough by the time you come to your lashes

Gives decent length and volume, but the brush is way too big for my eyes. Despite being waterproof, this mascara does NOT hold a curl. Very disappointed, especially with the high price tag.

This is my go-to absolute favorite mascara of all time. I've tried countless others and nothing compares to Diorshow. It holds a curl nicely and accentuates lashes you didn't know you had.
The waterproof formula stays really nicely, and I remove at night with baby oil on a cottonball.

Did not keep a curl (not that it promises to, but for the pricetag it would be nice), and while it's buildable, it's SUPER dry. I'm not a fan of dry mascaras, as they seem to have trouble coating my lashes evenly with the first and second application.
I took mine back for a refund after giving it a weeklong 'college try'.

It's been too long, TOO LONG, since we've seen a traditional side-scrolling Castlevania. Konami has finally reconciled that fact by creating Castlevania: Mirror of Fate which will yet again tell the tale of the Belmont clan and thrust another family member (Trevor Belmont) into Dracula's lair. Sporting a pseudo-3D look with depth in the background, and action in the foreground, Mirror of Fate is looking to deliver that 2D style, with a new dimension. Ask anyone who owns a Nintendo DS and 3DS and let them implore to you why the Castlevania DS titles are 3 of the best games available not only on that system, but of all time! Konami were one of the few teams and companies that saw the prospects of the dual screen design and capitalized on it. Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia broke new ground for the Castlevania series, but unfortunately we haven't seen much from the 2D Castlevania series for years.
Mirror of Fate aims to help the 3DS reach the same level as its predecessors and other games in the series, but quite frankly, they'll need to get the whip cracking if they aim to do so! My brief playtime with Mirror of Fate raised more eyebrows than excitement for me. Too many times my actions felt unresponsive and lacked the weight and impact I've come to expect from Castlevania. There was very little fluidity to my moves, and trying to navigate the corridors, I occasionally felt off.
It was not the Castlevania I was expecting or am wanting…
Mirror of Fate might be a new direction for the series; possibly it's what Konami are prepping the series to become, but if so, they'll be hard pressed to get me on board.
I miss the old 2D sprites from the DS titles and although the sprites are more detailed and more dynamic, the cost it seems to put on the engine just doesn't seem worth it. Not to mention, turning on the 3D with the 3DS; it practically brings the game to a slower pace than I even thought possible. I'm definitely in the camp of "I don't need/want 3D in my games" and usually switch it off as soon as I can. Mirror of Fate even includes those incredibly irritating "80's 3D moments" where they literally throw stuff at the screen! I can't share the look my face had upon seeing this happening, but it wasn't a pleasant one, I'm sure of it!
With Mirror of Fate setting out to hit 3DS come next year (still simply 2013) and so much work already complete, I doubt most of my complaints will be addressed. While that is indeed a bummer, I'm still willing to check it out, but I hope vampire killer doesn't suck upon release.

What can we say about MaxUserPort that hasn't already been said? Not a lot, it would seem. He's a beautiful dancer, perhaps? Ahh, such gentle humour, and nary a kitten drowned anywhere.
But TCP port shenanigans are fairly frequently misunderstood, so let's talk about the very basics of MaxUserPort.
NB: This is all pre-Vista behaviour - applicable from NT4 through to Windows Server 2003, including all the little NT-flavoured stops on the way.
NB: This is all pre-Vista behaviour - applicable from NT4 through to Windows Server 2003, including all the little NT-flavoured stops on the way.
MaxUserPort is used to limit the number of dynamic ports available to TCP/IP applications.
(I don't know why , I just know it is . Probably something to do with constraining resource use on 16MB machines, or something.)
It's never going to be an issue affecting inbound connections. MaxUserPort is not the right answer if you think you have an inbound connection problem.
To further simplify: it's typically going to limit the number of outbound sockets/connections that can be created. Note: that's really a big fat generalization, but it's one that works in 99% of cases.
If an application asks for the next available socket (a socket is a combination of an IP address and a port number), it'll come from the ephemeral port range allowed by MaxUserPort. Typically, these "next available" sockets are used for outbound connections.
The default range for MaxUserPort is from 1024-5000, but the possible range is up to 65534.
So, why would you change MaxUserPort?
In the web server context (equally applicable to other application servers or even client programs), you'd usually need to look at MaxUserPort when:
- your server process is communicating with some type of other system {as a client} (like a back-end database, or any TCP-based application server - quite often http web servers)
- you are not using socket pooling , and/or
- your request model is something like one request = one outbound TCP connection (or more!)
In this type of scenario, you can run out of ephemeral ports (between 1024 and MaxUserPort) very quickly, and the problem will scale with the load applied to the system , particularly if a socket is acquired and abandoned with every request.
When a socket is abandoned, it'll take two minutes to fall back into the pool.
Discussions about how the design could scale better if it reused sockets rather than pooling tend to be unwelcome when the users are screaming that the app is slow, or hung, or whatever, so at this point, you'd have established that new request threads are hung waiting on an available socket, and just turn up MaxUserPort to 65534.
Once MaxUserPort is at 65534, it's still possible for the rate of port use to exceed the rate at which they're being returned to the pool! You've bought yourself some headroom, though.
So how do you return connections to the pool faster ?
Glad you asked: you start tweaking TcpTimedWaitDelay .
By default, a connection can't be reused for 2 times the Maximum Segment Lifetime (MSL), which works out to 4 minutes, or so the docs claim , but according to The Lore O' The Group here, we reckon it's actually just the TcpTimedWaitDelay value, no doubling of anything.
TcpTimedWaitDelay lets you set a value for the Time_Wait timeout manually.
As a quick aside: the value you specify has to take retransmissions into account - a client could still be transferring data from a server when a FIN is sent by the server, and the client then gets TcpTimedWaitDelay seconds to get all the bits it wants. This could be sucky in, for example, a flaky dial-up networking scenario, or, say, New Zealand, if the client needs to retransmit a whole lot... and it's sloooow. (and this is a global option, as far as I remember).
30 seconds is a nice, round number that either quarters or eighths (depending on who you ask - we say quarter for now) the time before a socket is reusable (without the programmer doing anything special (say, SO_REUSEADDR)).
If you've had to do this, at this point, you should be thinking seriously about the architecture - will this scale to whatever load requirements you have ?
The maths is straightforward:
If each connection is reusable after a minimum of N (TcpTimedWaitDelay) seconds and you are creating more than X (MaxUserPort) connections in an N second period...
Your app is going to spend time "waiting" on socket availability...
Which is what techy types call "blocking" or "hanging". Nice*!
Fun* KB Articles: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/319502/ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328476
do you happen to know the default / need of this in 2008 R2 and Win 2012?
Is this correct?
"The new default start port is 49152, and the default end port is 65535"
Yes, you still need to adjust the port range if your app software isn't doing it for you. The default outbound port range is still limited by default.
The legacy MaxUserPort registry value is still respected, so if an app sets it while installing, it should still work. These days, if you're configuring it manually, you should use NetSH to set the dynamic port range (see support.microsoft.com/.../929851) with netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport tcp (etc).
At least as far up as Windows Server 2008 R2, the reg key works; I haven't tried it with Windows Server 2012 yet (just due to a lack of need), but I'd guess it would.
Hi,Where these registry entries need to be set? on client (which is making the request) or on server (which is responding to the requests)? also does it require a reboot?We are facing this issue when we try to access a SharePoint web service. so, where we need to set this registry values ? on client machine or SharePoint server?Thanks in advanceFrancis.
Ah, the comment box is at the top.@Francis: As the text implies, it's a client-side setting, i.e. whatever's making the requests you think are bottlenecking.To use your example and chat a bit about it: - If you think a single client is exceeding 5000 ports when talking to Sharepoint, I'm dubious that your client is written correctly :) - If you think your Sharepoint server is making 5000 outbound connections to an upstream Web Service, that's much more plausible, especially with a large number of clients. But *just based on the description*, it doesn't mean that this is the limit you're hitting. There are many possible choke points, including the target web server. This one's easy to "set and forget" to test, though, so by all means give it a try, and if it's not this, then it might be a Sharepoint or .Net level throttle (like maxconnection or similar http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7849884/what-is-limiting-the-of-simultaneous-connections-my-asp-net-application-can-ma)Happy hunting!
netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport tcp start=1024 num=48127
netsh int ipv4 set dynamicport udp start=49152 num=16383
where is MaxUser port registry key in windows server 2008.

|Fourier Transform Spectrometer System - A Fourier transform spectrometer (FTS) data acquisition system includes an FTS spectrometer that receives a spectral signal and a laser signal. The system further includes a wideband detector, which is in communication with the FTS spectrometer and receives the spectral signal and laser signal from the FTS spectrometer. The wideband detector produces a composite signal comprising the laser signal and the spectral signal. The system further comprises a converter in communication with the wideband detector to receive and digitize the composite signal. The system further includes a signal processing unit that receives the composite signal from the converter. The signal processing unit further filters the laser signal and the spectral signal from the composite signal and demodulates the laser signal, to produce velocity corrected spectral data.

RARE Hawkes Gravic Glass Tray
Condition: BTEF
Price: $1,450.00
Page 69 of the Encyclopedia of American Cut & Engraved Glass, Vol.II by J. Michael Pearson shows this exact 'fishtail'-shaped tray in an unusual flower design signed "Hawkes Gravic." This unsigned tray is 16 1/2-inches long, 9 1/2-inches wide and stands 3-inches tall at each end; the blank is thick, crystal clear and weighs 7 1/2-lbs. The long-standing mystery as to the name of the flower in the design was recently revealed (thanks Michael Quebbeman!); it is a double peony tulip. Google the name and you will fine photos showning this rare and delightful flower.
This well-crafted and eye-appealing tray is a very rare Hawkes gravic glass shape and design in a very large size. The finely-detailed, flowing design is carved into the very thick blank with extremely deep cuts that are then wheel-polished to a mirror-like brilliance. The style of cutting and polishing is commonly referred to as 'rock crystal.' Several of the Brilliant Period cutting houses cut in the 'rock crystal' style; however, T.G. Hawkes excelled in this style of cutting.
Another carefully selected piece of American Brilliant cut glass. We have enjoyed having this piece in our personal collection the past several years.

MC I think if you replaced that polo with a tucked crisp white buttoned shirt - short or long sleeved, or maybe a bibbed Margiela shirt like regis has or a hidden placket CKC shirt - it would be a lot cleaner. I don't like the "frat" look even slightly, and to be honest can't imagine why you'd be "going for" that.

Mark Travers, Employee
Classic look and fit
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Height: 6' 1"Weight: 220 lbsSize Purchased: Large
The fabric on this shirt is really comfy - soft without feeling like it's going to start to pill or shrink after a couple washes. The fit is good - ever so slightly on the large end of the true to size spectrum. I'm usually either or a large or an xl in t-shirts and went with a large here. "Regular" fit is spot on - not slim by any means but not super boxy either
Style and Comfort, all in one!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Great shirt that fits the function of a T-shirt. Loose fit and super soft. Holds up for the long run even after plenty of rides through the wash. And even stays pretty close to real size after a few runs through the dryer.
Lisa E, Gearhead
Patagonia Classic
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I can't get enough of this classic Patagonia Logo. The organic cotton is nearly luxurious here. This is a medium weight Tee, with a semi-loose fit and looks great on any man. The classic Tan, with contrasting Blue logo is especially appealing. Wear one.

FemaleFoundersFund is about to close on its $5 million first fund to invest in seed-stage startups launched by women, according to founder Anu Duggal.
Women-led startups have been underfunded, according to Ms. Duggal, creating an opportunity to focus on them as an investor and make money. Read More »
A San Francisco health technology startup called CrowdMed has attracted an unusual investor–film and television star Patrick Dempsey, best known for his role as Dr. Derek Shepherd on Grey's Anatomy.
The deal marks Mr. Dempsey's first foray into angel investing, and the two-year-old startup's first celebrity endorsement.
CrowdMed's chief executive and founder, Jared Heyman, explains that he started the business to "solve even the world's most difficult medical cases" by drawing on the wisdom of the crowd. Read More »
Angel and venture investors packed the house at a San Francisco winery and events space called 25 Lusk to observe demos and business pitches from the latest crop of startups to graduate from AngelPad two weeks ago.
But none of them signed a term sheet that day. And that's how AngelPad founder Thomas Korte prefers it.
Even if it seems like everyone is an angel investor to those based in Silicon Valley or other pockets of the U.S., most wealthy people aren't thinking about this asset class, according to Jonathan Medved, chief executive of Jerusalem-based OurCrowd.
Having just raised $25 million in a Series B round, OurCrowd is hoping to help more investors find their way to this market.
"The average accredited investor has not written a check for a startup," Mr. Medved said. "Main Street investors read stories about Jan Koum [founder of WhatsApp, which was acquired by Facebook for $19 billion] and salivate," he said. Read More »
Plenty of equity crowdfunding sites help connect startups in search of capital with investors who want to back them.
One of the most prominent, AngelList, took it a step further with "Syndicates," a feature that allows any accredited angel investor to back companies that have been discovered, vetted and funded by another trusted investor, someone ostensibly with a record of picking winners.
Now CircleUp Network Inc., an equity crowdfunding site that specializes in "anything but tech" deals, has introduced its version of follow-the-leader funding, dubbed Circles (not to be confused with Circles on the Google+ social network). Read More »
Bitcoin, a digital currency introduced in 2009, is already being used by investors who place bets on its volatile price, and increasingly in retail, with Overstock.com being one of the latest to accept Bitcoin as payment.
Another application of Bitcoin that's gaining traction is as a means of rewarding programmers in open-source software projects.
"The real potential [of Bitcoin], the mass-market potential, is the stuff we are working on with these new projects," said David Johnston, executive director of BitAngels, a loose network of angel investors that back Bitcoin startups. "It's where we replace more consumer-facing things, like eTrade or Dropbox ," he said. "In the next couple of years this next wave of applications will be built on top of Bitcoin."
Open-source software is often developed by many programmers who volunteer their skills. Some developers have found ways of getting compensation for their work via crowdfunding on Kickstarter or on BountySource.com, a platform specifically for funding open-source software development.
Mr. Johnston believes that Bitcoin may be another and, possibly, better way of sponsoring open-source development. "It's a new way to monetize open-source," he said.
In angel and venture capital, a startup becomes a winner if it generates meaningful returns for investors within about seven years. That happens with a liquidity event such as an initial public offering or acquisition. But funded startups become "dogs" if they chug along, failing to generate meaningful returns or slumping towards bankruptcy.
So how do investors let their "dogs" out?
A new company called CapGain Solutions (Zombie Apocalypse Holdings LLC) buys startup shares from investors, helping them realize a tax break for their losses, and helping struggling entrepreneurs wind down responsibly, or revitalize what's left of their viable business.
CapGain founder and Chief Executive Gary Kremen, a prolific angel investor and serial entrepreneur best known as the founder of Match.com, says he was inspired to start this service by his own portfolio's stragglers, which he declined to name. Read More »
Prolific stand-up comedian and actor Cedric the Entertainer ("The Steve Harvey Show," "The Original Kings of Comedy," "Ice Age") could now go by a new moniker — Cedric the Angel Investor.
Between hosting the game show "Who Wants to be A Millionaire" and doing his live stand-up performances and charitable work, Cedric Kyles now makes time to review pitches and invest in select tech startups.
The latest company he backed, Qloo Inc. in New York, unveiled a new mobile app this week that gives cultural recommendations to users in eight categories: music, film, television, dining, nightlife, fashion, books and travel. It delivers the recommendations based on the preferences of users with overlapping taste.
Qloo has raised a total of $3 million in seed funding from investors including Mr. Kyles, actor Danny Masterson ("That 70s Show") and film producer Tommy Thompson ("Black Swan").
Mr. Kyles spoke with The Wall Street Journal's Venture Capital Dispatch about the connections between stand-up and startups, and what he thinks it will take to get more African Americans involved in angel investing and entrepreneurship.
An edited version of that interview follows. Read More »
A San Francisco startup called Evrst Inc. has raised $2 million to popularize its unique personal productivity app and social network.
Everest app users can set goals, create a plan of action to achieve them, then track and share their progress with their friends and followers, with whom they can also exchange tips, helpful links and words of encouragement.
Instead of broadcasting who they know, or what news items they are reading (as with Facebook or Twitter), Everest users "signal deeper intentions," said co-founder and Chief Executive Francis Pedraza. Read More »

The Planning Committee is typically made up of 3-4 Board members who are committed to leading the organization in the development of its Strategic Plan and to ensuring the organization implements the Plan once it's completed. The Committee should also include the Executive Director or lead staff person. Key senior program staff may also participate.
The Strategic planning process varies considerably from one organization to the next depending on a variety of factors, including the organization's size and age, staffing levels, the existence of a previous Strategic Plan and the organization's structure. The Planning Committee's role includes identifying the appropriate level of planning that is needed and the planning process that makes most sense for the organization.

I got them from university surplus since they won't buy more. I will spend a couple dollars on parts, though, since I can get that from the department's petty cash.

St. Petersburg, FL (PRWEB) October 27, 2013
Holiday travel, whether to family for Thanksgiving or Christmas, or vacations to different climates, is just around the corner. Regular schedules will go out the door, and eating habits will be different. You may drink less water, too, and stressful situations will abound.
The immune system will need bolstering to help stay healthy. Dry Skin Brushing will help, says Sublime Beauty®. How?
The lymphatic system will get help moving toxins out through Skin Brushing. (Lymph that builds up can cause disease.) Blood circulation will be boosted, helping deliver nutrients throughout the body. Toxins and dead cells will be removed from the skin, allowing the elimination process of the skin to function optimally.
"Dry Skin Brushing has so many benefits for well-being, and it can really help during travel and stressful holidays," says Kathy Heshelow, founder of Sublime Beauty®. The company devoted a website to the subject.
"We send a product report about the benefits to every purchaser of our portable Travel Skin Brush," Heshelow says.
The Sublime Beauty portable® Skin Brush comes with a handy pouch and can be tucked into any bag, purse or luggage easily. Simply use it each morning before your shower or in the evening before bed - or both! It retails for less than $13.00.

Next time you think teeth whitening, think TeethWhiteningforFree.com and TW4F.com.
We are a marketing referral company looking to put patients in contact with dentists in their area. Our web site gives dentists exclusive rights to tw4f.com zip areas. That means anytime potential patients look up the zip code they wish to find complementary teeth whitening, that area's member dentist's information is exclusively shown. By doing this, people get the teeth whitening they want, while at the same time increasing each member dentist's patient base. Of course, not all patients are eligible for teeth whitening, and only the dentist will be able to decide if each patient is eligible.

Lawsuit naming Mayweather in Nev. shooting dropped
