I understand that UNC (Uniform Naming Convention), SFTP, and SSH are different interfaces (protocols?) that can be used to upload files to a server. But feature-wise, how do they differ? Are there things you can do with one that you cannot do with another? Is one more secure than another?
The situation I want to fix is one where we have several Windows servers and VPC's, some of which have SFTP servers and some of which don't. For those that don't we use UNC over a VPN shared by the entire enterprise. What I want to do is either use all UNC, all SFTP, or all SSH (unless a real need to vary on a case-by-case basis presents itself).
Links would be excellent. My biggest problem here is that my googling brings up irrelevant results. :(
EDIT: Our needs are simply to upload files to Windows servers, including VPC's, both manually and automatically (e.g. via command-line tools). When we upload, we really need files to not be seen by anyone else.
EDIT: All users have Active Directory domain accounts, so it would be nice (though not strictly necessary) to use these. Any authentication that is reasonably secure (Windows or otherwise) will work.

In 2010, Andrew Jenks couch-surfed between 12 unique individuals' homes to get a sense of what it's like to be an animal activist, a homeless young person or anyone else whose story strays a bit off the beaten path. The impact was immediate, and the lessons learned stretched across the board, but when the young filmmaker signed on for a second season of "World Of Jenks," he knew he wanted to do things differently. In the interview below, he describes exactly why he lived with D-Real, Chad and Kaylin off and on for an entire year, and why he felt so sure they'd resonate with viewers.
"I could easily go document people who are fame-hungry," Jenks says in the clip. "The three that I'm following, I almost had to convince to be on a show, and I think that says a lot about who they are." His main hope for viewers is that when they watch someone like Chad, they absorb his struggles with a disability as something separate from his identity. Chad might have been tripped up while tying his shoes on tonight's episode, but at his core, he's just a guy who's anxious about graduating from school — and that is something many of you can relate to.
+ Check out the clip, and tell us how you're responding to the stories this season on "World Of Jenks."

If you are a fan of the old school Star Trek movies, and enjoy the new one, I highly recommend you watch the trailer for the new movie – except you should watch the Japanese one. Don't worry, it's in English with Japanese subtitles – the difference is they've added one extra bit.
When I was young my family had Wrath of Khan on VHS, and I've watched it more times than I can count. And I have to say, the last shot of this trailer feels like the scene where Spock says something I will always remember as the most poignant moment in all of Star Trek :
"I have been, and always shall be, your friend"
Maybe it's there to tease us who value the original movies. Things in the new movie will likely differ from what we know.
What I can say though is that it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

End of the line: The Sony Ericsson WTA Tour's 2007 season went out with an emphatic end this weekend with World No. 1 Justine Henin winning the WTA Championships title in an epic battle against Maria "Shriek"apova in what we think was the women's match of the year. The Belgian star won 5-7, 7-5, 6-3 in the longest match in the Championship's history, and was rewarded with $1 million, a trophy, and a photo op with the sexy model ball boys.
Afterwards, the ladies celebrated the end of another long tennis season in style at the Sony Ericsson Player's Party in Madrid:
Justine Henin & Daniela Hantuchova
Ana Ivanovic & Marion Bartoli
Svetlana Kuznetsova & Jelena Jankovic

Finland's State Prosecutor Mika Illman has recently suggested that law should make it mandatory for internet discussion forums to use moderators. These moderators would moderate the conversation and remove any illegal messages.
Once in a while it shocks me to see people throwing around ideas like these in positions where they should atleast exercise fair judgement. Either this is a person who doesn't know what he is talking about or this is exatly the sort of Brezhnev's mindset that scares me – the state and the people in the state moderating each other for unlawful behaviour.
Apply the idea to physical world and it sounds ridiculous. No talking on public plazas unless there are moderators around? Who moderates the moderators? C'mon. Welcome to 1984.
Apparently Mr. Illman thinks this is good use for tax payer money. To expose the absurdness of this idea, let me educate a little bit on what kind of discussion forums there are on the internet:
- Discussion boards: the sort of public plazas where everyone can register a nickname and participate in a coversation around a certain topic. Usually centralized on one server maintained by a single person.
- IRC and other chatrooms: anyone can setup a discussion channel and anyone can join and comment. The technical protocols have no capability for moderation. What is said, has been said. The conversation is distributed over a network of servers. IRC servers are often maintained by universities and other organizations.
- Blogs: your voice on the internet. Public discourse is conducted under individual blog posts or between blogs with technologies like trackbacks. Single blogs are often maintained by individuals on platforms maintained by companies like Google or SixApart, but the conversation itself is distributed on a network.
- Microblogging/mobile presence: something like Jaiku or Twitter, where you use your mobile phone to update your presence and have conversations around presences. A server is used to centralize the conversation, but the conversation is also distributed over multiple different mobile devices over traditional phone networks.
- Email and mailing lists. One email address is used to distribute messages to a number of subscribers. Each reply is sent to everyone on the mailing list. A network of mail transfer agents distribute the messages.
- The list goes on… Internet has also different protocols, not just HTTP (WWW). Take for example instant messaging platforms like AIM, MSN, ICQ or Skype that enable chatrooms between multiple individuals. Think of newsgroups. Also, there are massive online multiplayer games like World of Warcraft, where we emulate public plazas for conversation.
It's not easy to distinct one conversation technology from one another. The internet is the ultimate conversation technology.
Some discussions are located on a single server maintained by a single person, some are distributed on a network of servers and maintained by multiple different people. Some cross over legal boundaries (a law set forward in Finland cannot affect servers located in a different country). The only way to moderate the conversation is to moderate the internet. Sure, we could try to form artificial technical boundaries like China has done, but is that what people really want? Finland would not be the innovative network society we portray ourselves in the future.
When decentralization increases, moderation becomes much harder. The internet is increasingly becoming integrated with our physical world with RFID tags, QR-codes and other technologies, forming an internet of things. The web has no clear boundaries. The conversations going on in the network are like ideas emerging in our neural networks: there is no easy way to locate a single idea and its roots in the network and then censor it.
Bottom line, do the math: taking the number of discussion forums, means, channels, technologies and methods we have on the internet and consider that each one needs to have a moderator and the moderators require moderation, too. We have 5 million people in Finland. We simply don't have enough people, reason or patience to do all of that.
Mr. Illman has done his dissertation on free speech and I find it strage that with suggestions like this he is showing such a lack of academic understanding on digital technologies.

In terms of your options in Askum (or Axum), Ethiopia, we think the Africa Hotel is your best bet (25USD/night for a double room en suite). The hotel is very simple – no frills (and quite frankly could be a little cleaner), but the staff is friendly and helpful, the restaurant is affordable (with decent food), and it is walking distance from town (and even the Arc of the Covenant). Though, there are no perks like working hot water, WiFi, or extra space), with very hot weather, an internet café next door, and a friendly bar downstairs – the Africa Hotel was fun and functional.

Arsene Wenger's new look Arsenal kept the same formation, but with some unfamiliar players. As expected, they started with plenty of energy and the Greek side knew they were going to be in a game. Jernade Meade at left back did not look out of place when called on early on, and Gervinho was inches away from finding Chamakh in front of goal after six minutes.
Arsenal were showing impressive spirit and linking up pretty well. Ramsey should have put us in the lead after 15 minutes after good work from the Ox and Chamakh, but he couldn't get a shot off with his wrong foot, but it was encouraging stuff. Vermaelen knew he had to marshall his team and he made some great early tackles when Olympiakos got in good positions.
In an open half, Arsenal were holding their own and after nearly getting in a couple of times we took the lead. Rosicky produced a great finish after great work from Gervinho and Ramsey (I know). So at half-time with no score in France Arsenal were sitting top of the group and I owed Wenger an apology.
Arshavin replaced Rosicky for the second half, and the Gunners had a solid start. After 10 minutes Arshavin and Chamakh needed to be in each others' positions when the Moroccan put a tempting ball on to the Russians head. The problem with Gervinho is his inconsistency, and he dwelt on the ball it nearly led to an equalizer. Then with a great touch he set up Arshavin who nearly scored asecond for the Gunners.
Olympiacos were building pressure and it finally told after they were awarded a corner which Szczesny was adamant should have been a goal kick. More luck went the way of the home side as the ball fell to Maniatis to level. The home side were after the win and brought on the Greek international striker Mitroglou who then scored with a great curling shot minutes later.
Martin Angha came on for the very impressive Meade near the end and Arsenal kept pressing but were unable to break through. The players should be proud of their efforts however.

Keeping Up With The Kardashians: Khloe Kardashian Says Weight Is Her Biggest Struggle
January 26, 2011 11:00 AM by Paula_Kosowski
Khloe Kardashian, of E!'s Keeping Up With The Kardashians fame, admits struggling with her weight and body image. Keep reading for more details on her weight issues and how she's overcome them…
According to Us Magazine, "Keeping Up With The Kardashians'" Khloe Kardashian says she's not 100 percent confident with her body, which has caused her a lot of grief over the years.
"I think my weight is my biggest lifetime struggle," she tells Us Magazine. "It's not the biggest thing in life, but it does get you down sometimes."
The 26-year-old reality star says while she has learned to embrace her voluptuous figure, she's still bothered by some of the comments she gets about her weight.
"That's been a struggle that I think I've gotten ahold of, not caring what other people think," Khloe says. "But as much as I say that, other people's words eventually come and do hit you hard."
The media's constant scrutiny of Khloe's figure, unnerves the reality star. Us Magazine reports rumors Khloe was pregnant after she wore a loose Alexander McQueen gown to the People's Choice Awards are just one example of comments made about her body.
Khloe blogged about her constant struggles with weight on her official website last Monday.
"My weight is always going up and down. I'm always fighting that," she told fans. "I feel like no matter what I do, I never look good enough to everybody else."
The reality star has a new spin-off show in the works, called "Khloe & Lamar." The show follows the newlywed's adventures with husband Lamar Odom and is currently in production.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — State officials have settled a lawsuit over a man's treatment by a doctor at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/1psd6Tg ) that the lawsuit filed in 2009 says Dr. John Rachow didn't treat health problems and ignored warning signs before the death of 80-year-old Robert Messerschmitt, of Middle Amana. The lawsuit says Messerschmitt died of a burst diverticulitis sac in June 2007.
The newspaper says the $67,500 settlement will be paid by University of Iowa Physicians. University of Iowa spokesman Tom Moore declined to comment Tuesday about the settlement.

CST recommends transfection with 100 nM PTEN siRNA II 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.
Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.Storage: SignalSilence® siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.
SignalSilence® PTEN siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit PTEN expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce protein expression by western analysis.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten), also referred to as MMAC (mutated in multiple advanced cancers) phosphatase, is a tumor suppressor implicated in a wide variety of human cancers (1). PTEN encodes a 403 amino acid polypeptide originally described as a dual-specificity protein phosphatase (2). The main substrates of PTEN are inositol phospholipids generated by the activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) (3). PTEN is a major negative regulator of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway (1,4,5). PTEN possesses a carboxy-terminal, noncatalytic regulatory domain with three phosphorylation sites (Ser380, Thr382, and Thr383) that regulate PTEN stability and may affect its biological activity (6,7). PTEN regulates p53 protein levels and activity (8) and is involved in G protein-coupled signaling during chemotaxis (9,10).

Ford Focus Satnav Volume.
The Kestrel replied to The Kestrel's topic in Ford Focus ClubThanks everyone that has contributed. I have been away for a couple of days, so just picked up your suggestions. I will try out the various recommendations shortly.
Ford Focus Satnav Volume.
The Kestrel posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, I have a 60 reg Ford Focus with satnav built in to the radio/CD. My problem is that when the satnav is operating and the radio cuts out to allow audible directions to be given, the volume of the voice is so low it cannot be heard. I have tried all the variations of the satnav controls I can find to alter the volume, but so far have not been able to increase it to a level I can hear clearly. Can anyone help and put me in the right direction?

Focus Outside Temperature Display.
The Kestrel posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI have just changed my 57 plate Focus Ghia for a 60 plate Focus Sport. The outside temperature display on my new car is given in Fahrenheit (F) and I would like it to read in Celsius©. I have read through the owners handbook and tried all combinations in the car settings without success. Can anyone help me to change the units to Celsius?

What drivers need to know in wake of highway crashes
Published: Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 30, 2012 at 12:02 a.m.
Forecast for driving conditions
Gainesville is forecast to have patchy smoke before 10 a.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
The conditions, with smoke and light winds, will be similar to those that were a factor in the Interstate 75 crashes that killed at least 10 people Sunday morning.
Tips for driving in smoke, fog
When driving in smoky or foggy conditions, safety experts recommend the following:
DRIVE WITH LIGHTS on low beam. High beams will only be reflected back off the fog and actually impair visibility even more. Your lights help other drivers see your vehicle, so be sure they all work.
SLOW DOWN before you enter a patch of fog. Be sure you can stop within the distance that you can see. Fog creates a visual illusion of slow motion when you actually might be speeding. Speed is a major factor in fog-related crashes.
REDUCE THE DISTRACTIONS in your vehicle. Turn off the radio and cellphone. Your full attention is required.
WATCH OUT for slow-moving and parked vehicles. Listen for traffic you cannot see. Open your window a little, to hear better.
USE WIPERS AND DEFROSTERS liberally for maximum visibility. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if poor visibility is due to fog or moisture on the windshield.
USE THE RIGHT EDGE of the road or painted road markings as a guide.
BE PATIENT. Avoid passing and/or changing lanes.
SIGNAL TURNS well in advance and brake early as you approach a stop.
DO NOT STOP on a heavily traveled road. You could become the first link in a chain-reaction collision. If you must pull off the road, signal (people tend to follow tail lights when driving in fog), then carefully pull off as far as possible. After pulling off the road, turn on your hazard flashers (hazard lights should only be used when you pull over to show that you are parked on the side of the road). Move away from the vehicle.
FINALLY, if you feel conditions are so limited and serious that you must stop driving, be sure to notify law enforcement of the road conditions and that traffic has pulled off.

It's time to bid a fond farewell to somebody I never met. He's been gone for a few weeks, but a combination of not having the time, not knowing what to say, and doubting that I knew him well enough to say anything have kept me quiet until now.
James Garner died July 19, and I had a few people tell me the first person they thought about when they heard of his death was me. Not surprising. I own "The Rockford Files" collection on DVD, and have watched all of the episodes a few times now. Even when flipping the channels, if I come across "Rockford," I'm hard-pressed to keep on channel surfing.
I haven't seen much of the old "Maverick" TV series, though I get the idea that Bret Maverick had a lot in common with Jim Rockford. Take care of business and avoid the rough stuff — a different type of hero, as one remembrance called Rockford. Works for me. For every man who would love to be the rough-and-tumble master of his own destiny, few of us can be so bold.
I enjoyed "Rockford" when it was on the 1970s, but I don't think I had the appreciation for it until I saw it pretty often while visiting my mother in the late '90s. I thought then that the show came across as authentic, save for the fact that so many of the escapades ended up with beatings and gunfire.
Jim Rockford's existence would have been made possible by the countless dull and tedious tasks that a private investigator might have to perform. The more unusual cases, yes, they might be interesting enough for an audience.
Garner received two Purple Hearts for his service in the Korean War, and I hope he forgives me for chuckling at the thought of one of his wounds coming when he was shot in the behind while trying to jump into a foxhole. Classic.
One thing I didn't learn until after his death was that the smell of garlic, which Garner detested — led him to alert his superiors of the presence of enemy forces in Korea. He disliked garlic so much, was so sensitive to its presence, that he caught some whiffs of it while on guard duty and passed the information along.
This excerpt is from "The Garner Files," his 2011 memoir:
[A]rmy chow was bearable as long as I could keep the onions and garlic out of it. I cannot stand onions and I'm very sensitive to garlic. I can taste tiny amounts of it, like when they've cooked another dish with garlic before and don't wash the pan. If I get even a hint of it, I might throw up in my plate. This violent aversion may have saved my life: like our South Korean allies, the Chinese and North Korean troops lived on a diet of fish heads, rice, and garlic. One night while on guard on the line, I caught a faint whiff of it coming from the direction of the enemy positions. I couldn't see anything, but I knew there was someone out there and they were coming closer. Once I sniffed them I could hear them, too. It turned out to be a patrol heading straight for our position. They were just the other side of a rise when I passed the word down the line. We were ready for them and stopped them in their tracks.
My interest in Garner carried over to movies, though I wasn't surprised that I enjoyed him more on TV roles. He could be every bit the leading man, but he was a little bit too much like the rest of us, I think. Still, I've enjoyed his work in pictures.
Before he was James Rockford, he was The Scrounger, a prisoner of war in the film "The Great Escape," whose role in planning a large-scale escape from a POW camp was to scrape up items that would be needed to make documents to aid the prisoners when they fled the camp. He picked the pocket of a German officer, and after giving the resident forger a good look at the papers the wallet contained, gave it back to the soldier — for a price. Anybody have a problem thinking of Rockford using that guile to survive?
As I have looked at Garner's film credits, over the years and again on his passing, I'm eager to see more of his work. I can't recall seeing a bad James Garner movie. Am I blinded by some sense of loyalty to the man, maybe because there is a connection to my mother, who died in 2004? Maybe.
But I think of any number of movies — "Victor/Victoria," "Cash McCall," "Murphy's Romance," "Support Your Local Sheriff," "Move Over Darling," "Skin Game," … OK, enough already — and I don't remember disliking any of them. Different roles, certainly. But it tells me that Garner was judicious in the roles he chose, a pattern that I wish more of today's stars would embrace.
For the record, one of my favorite Garner movies was a made-for-TV film in 1984, "Heartsounds," about a doctor who suffers a heart attack and gets a frightening view of what happens when doctors don't put the patient first. Mary Tyler Moore co-stars as a journalist. Gee, another connection.
Garner further succeeded where other celebrities fail — or don't try to go: He seemed to keep his private life away from us. I can recall his penchant for the Oakland Raiders — or were they the L.A. Raiders at that point? — but I'll chalk that up to nobody being perfect.
He was obviously a fighter and didn't mind settling some old scores now and then, and I don't mean with his fists. In fact, one of his stated reasons for writing "The Garner Files" was to set the record straight on a number of issues, personal and business.When Garner was being cheated out of money owed over syndication rights from "The Rockford Files," he was determined to get justice, and he did. In court.
As a result, I say goodbye forever curious about the kind of man Garner was. Friendly, approachable under reasonable circumstances, deeply committed to his family? Jim Rockford was, by necessity, pretty good at keeping his guard up. I wonder how much Garner differed in real life.
At any rate, I enjoyed the side of James Garner that I got to know, and look forward to seeing the films of his that I haven't seen yet.

Monday Afternoon News, August 19
Missing Person Body Identified
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Sheriff's Department has reported finding a body of a
missing person. On mid-morning Friday, the Plymouth County Communications Center received a report of a person missing since the morning of August 15th. A search was conducted by the Plymouth County Sheriff's Office and Akron Police Department in a heavily wooded and overgrown area near Akron, which hindered the investigation. On Friday, at 19001 Highway 12 the body of 36 year-old Jeremy Clarey of Akron, Iowa was located. The subject was deceased. His body was transported to the State Medical Examiner's office in Ankeny for an autopsy and the Plymouth County Sheriff's Office is awaiting the results of their findings. The investigation is continuing.
Le Mars Fire and Rescue Have Busy Weekend
(Le Mars) -- The Le Mars Fire and Rescue Department had a busy weekend, responding to
numerous calls consisting of accidents, recreational pit fires, and smoke calls. David
Schipper serves as the Le Mars Fire Chief and explains the weekend calls.
Listen to
Schipper says shortly after the clean up duties were completed for the two semi trucks, the
fire department was then called to the Le Mars Day Care Center for a carbon monoxide alarm.
Fortunately, Schipper says it was only an old alarm that needed replacing. The Le Mars Fire Department was called to a personal injury accident Sunday morning that happened at about 8:00 a.m. on Business Highway 75 and 24th Street. The Le Mars Fire Department was at the scene of the accident for more than an hour.
Listen to
The Le Mars Fire and Rescue squad also responded to the Four Brothers Restaurant located at 1430 Twin Rivers Blvd. for a fire alarm. The call came in at about 11:24 a.m. Fire crews were on the scene for only 20 minutes. As we now know, that alarm was due to the brief power outage.
(Le Mars) -- That accident, as referenced by Fire Chief Schipper, involved a vehicle being
driven by 20 year-old Desiree Lauderdale of Sioux City. Police investigation reports show
Lauderdale failed to stop at the exit junction of U-S Highway 75 and Business Highway 75.
Lauderdale's vehicle first struck a guard rail, then crossed over and hit asemi truck and
trailer being driven by 59 year-old Curtis Cain of Chariton, Iowa. That accident had
blocked all four lanes of travel for a short time. Lauderdale did report having some injuries as a result of the accident.
Hinton Fire Department Responds To Accident
(Hinton) -- At about the same time the Le Mars Fire Department was assisting at an accident, the Hinton Fire and Rescue Department was called to 31629 County Road K-49 for another personal injury accident. Plymouth County Sheriff's Department reports the accident involved one vehicle. The call was received at about 7:52 a.m. The vehicle, driven by 50 year old Todd Kapler of Hinton, apparently was traveling northbound when it crossed over the centerline and nearly hitting a southbound car. Kapler then got back on the correct lane of traffic, but then entered the east ditch and traveling several hundred feet in the ditch. The vehicle collided with an embankment causing the Kaplan vehicle to go airborne about 140 feet. The vehicle rolled once. Kaplan was transported to Mercy Medical Center of Sioux City via a helicopter. Kapler's condition is listed as critical. Fire crews were on the accident scene for nearly an hour and fifteen minutes.
Dynamite Found On Buena Vista County Farm
(Storm Lake) -- Buena Vista County authorities found some old explosives located on a farm near Newell. Deputies responded Saturday morning to 2345 590th Street and determined the items to be dynamite and other related items which were located in an outbuilding. The area was secured and the state fire marshal's office was notified. The dynamite was disposed of by the state fire marshal. The dynamite was determined to be extremely old and had been stored on the property by previous owners. Officials warn that if suspicious explosives such as dynamite, blasting caps, or gun powder are found, do not attempt to move them as age makes the items become extremely unstable. Contact authorities and get to a safe distance.
Kessenich Honored For "Excellence In Education" By Diocese
(Le Mars) -- A Gehlen Catholic faculty member was honored Monday morning by the Sioux City Diocese. Carol Kessenich of Le Mars was informed that she is one of four recipients of the Excellence in Education Honorees. Dan Ryan of the Sioux City Diocese explains why Kessenich was selected for the honor.
Listen to
Kessenich was surprised by the recognition. Her family was also in attendance, and by her side when the announcement was made. Kessenich expresses her feelings about the award and gives credit to her mother.
Listen to
Kessenich has been a teacher at Gehlen Catholic for 17 years. Prior to Gehlen, she also taught at Remsen St. Mary's. She teaches both junior high religion and mathematics. Kessenich is the seventh Gehlen faculty member to be honored with the Excellence in Education award by the Sioux City Diocese. The last Gehlen faculty member to be given the honor was the late Steven Shea, for which the Gehlen gymnasium is being named for this year.
Ahlers Given Seed Association Scholarship
(Ames) -- Six $3,000 scholarships have been awarded by the Iowa Crop Improvement Association to support Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences students planning to pursue careers in seed science or the seed industry. Rebecca Ahlers of Le Mars was one of the scholarship recipients.
Ahlers is a senior majoring in Agronomy and Journalism and Mass Communications. Her
passion for agriculture began young and has developed into a love of plant sciences coupled with sustainable agriculture. Ahlers has a goal of communicating agronomic information to farmers while also being an advocate for agriculture.
Branstad Advocates Later School Start
(Des Moines) -- Many schools will begin classes this week, including Le Mars Community and Gehlen Catholic which are scheduled to start on Thursday, August 22nd. Some schools, such as Kingsley-Pierson, started last week. Iowa Governor Terry Branstad says he would like to see all of Iowa's public schools have a later start, preferably after September 1st. The governor spoke to KLEM news while he was attending the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines. Branstad says earlier school starts don't necessarily mean high academic scores.
Listen to
Many school districts advocate an early start is needed in order to complete the semester prior to the Christmas Day Holiday. The state's tourism industry, including the Iowa State Fair, would like to see schools have a later start. They say, attendance and exhibits are down due to schools starting early. Resorts, restaurants, camps, and other summertime employment opportunities, like community swimming pools, are forced to close early because of the early school starts. Branstad believes a compromise can be achieved. He says he hopes the newly appointed Director of Education does not offer school districts waivers, unless they have a valid reason for the earlier start.
Listen to
Many school officials believe the decision for the start date for school should be left up to the individual school district, and not be dictated by the state.
Branstad and Reynolds Announce Bullying Seminar
(DES MOINES) – Gov. Terry E. Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds today announced they will be hosting the second Governor's Bullying Prevention Summit, to be held on Nov. 4 at Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines.
This year's theme is "Mission Possible: Stepping Up the Response," and is a follow-up to the governor's sold-out inaugural 2012 Bullying Prevention Summit, which drew about 1,100 students and adults to focus on community involvement in preventing bullying.
The purpose of this year's summit is to explore the practical next steps to better address the pervasive problem of bullying.
The 2012 Iowa Youth Survey reported that 57 percent of students said that in the last 30 days they had been bullied at school in a variety of ways. That was up from 50 percent in 2010. Growing awareness that bullying should not be tolerated may be behind the increase, as well as new challenges presented by the Internet and social media. Despite this, the governor says we all need to work together to reverse the trend.
Minnesota Man Charged With 1999 Homicide
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - A Minnesota man has been charged with killing an Iowa woman in 1999.
Cedar Rapids police say 34-year-old Deshaun Phillips was arrested in Shakopee, Minn. He's charged with first-degree murder, accused of killing 44-year-old Judith Weeks. Her body was found in the backyard of a vacant Cedar Rapids apartment on April 5, 1999. An autopsy said she'd been struck in the forehead by a sharp object.
Cedar Rapids police say in a news release that the case was thoroughly investigated 14 years ago and has been reviewed several times over the years. But police say investigators specifically assigned to the case developed new information that led to the charge against Phillips.
A police spokeswoman didn't immediately return messages Monday from The Associated Press.
It's unclear whether Phillips has an attorney.

While the legal battle over the Delhi-Gurgaon expressway continues between the government, lender IDFC and the developer DS Constructions, the ministry of road transport and highways has received several complaints from commuters alleging that the developer is issuing blank toll receipts. The ministry, official sources said, has forwarded these complaints to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for necessary action.
The NHAI in March had issued a showcause notice to DSC for not depositing the entire toll collected in the escrow account as required. "The ministry has received numerous complaints regarding people getting blank toll receipts at the Gurgaon toll plaza and such a matter needs to be looked in and investigated," the ministry told the NHAI in a letter written by joint secretary (highways) Rohit Kumar Singh.
The matter came to light in April and the roads ministry has taken up the issue with the authority more than once. It, sources said, also attached one of the blank toll receipts it got from a complainant with the latest letter, asking the authority to inquire and find out the genesis of such blank toll receipts. The ministry asked the authority to take up the issue with the concessionaire, saying it is a clear violation of the concession agreement signed between the authority and the developer.
NHAI's March notice to DCS said: "In the last several days, the revenue collection is falling and the NHAI feels that the concessionaire is diverting the toll revenue instead of depositing it into the escrow account."
The authority also added that the concessionaire was also not promoting electronic tolling and monthly passes to the benefit of local traffic. With the increasing number of complaints, the government has made up its mind that it no longer wants the current developer to run the expressway.
Road transport minister Oscar Fernandez last week said that the government would make a concerted plea in the Delhi high court for an early decision.
The decision for joint representation by all wings of the central government and the Haryana government was taken in a high-level meeting between Fernandez, state CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, DSC and senior officials of the road ministry.
DS Constructions chief HS Narula is understood to have told the minister that the company is not interested in going for an out-of-the-court settlement.
A senior road ministry official privy to the meeting said the

Reviews for Chocolate Raspberry Pie
"What a HIT this pie was for my picky family!! They LOVE it. So now when I make it I make 2"
"The chocolate layer on top is hard, so by the time we cut through it, to eat it, with our forks, we both flattened the cream and made a mess of the pie. A hot knife is excellent for cutting and serving, but you still have to eat it without ruining it. Chocolate on the bottom is the only answer. The raspberry layer made us both cringe it was so tart. Two extra tablespoons of sugar might be enough to fix that. The cream layer was delicious. For me, this recipe is only a beginning. It has definite problems to overcome."
"Lovely and delicious! Made for an office party and everyone raved about it! The pie cutter under hot water is a great tip as a regular knife breaks and ruins the look of the chocolate on the slices."
"My daughter made this and it has become the family favorite."

I have a hippy prejudice. It stems from keg parties at college where I learned that "free love" was hippy-man code for "one night stand". And, from the house I shared with 15 others post-graduation, where the word "peace" was hippy code for "lounge around in your pj's all day, smoking pot and laughing hysterically when someone says it's your turn to do the dishes".
There are other reasons. For one, I believe in shaving.
Then, I read a post on the BabyCenter Community that asked, "Do you fit the "crunchy" stereotype?" and I sucked in a deep breath of horror. Am I a hippy? Judging by the community's response to the question, I am far more crunchy than I would care to admit. Cloth diapers, recycling, walking the kids to school. I even eat granola for breakfast.
Let's look at the evidence. Are you a closet crunchy? Add up how many times you answer "Yes" to the following, and then check your score against our scale at the end of the post.
0 – 3 = They don't call you a far-right conservative for nothing.
4 – 7 = Don't worry, I won't tell your friends you're a hippy, if you tell don't mine.
8 – 10 = Get yea to Whole Foods! (Or, your local food co-op depending on income.)
11 – 12 = What are you doing on a computer? Shouldn't you be busy worrying about the chemicals radiating from all the mobile devices in the room?
13 – 15 or more = I'll send some smoke signals up to let you know how you scored.
So, how'd you do? Are you a closet crunchy?

Alarm monitoring companies typically call a 911 operator to report an incident when an alarm sounds, which can result in errors, delays and possibly life-threatening circumstances.
But that doesn't happen in Richmond, Va., which now automates the process, eliminating phone calls, saving time and possibly lives. The automation interface could eliminate more than 32 million incoming 911 phone calls for assistance from alarm-monitoring companies.
Richmond, in partnership with solution provider Intergraph, went live in April after a two-year pilot that displayed the viability of the software interface and resulted in an American National Standards Institute standard recognized by the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials International.
"The new exchange standard simply replaces that traditional call that alarm companies place to 911 centers in order to notify them of an alarm event," said Bill Hobgood, public safety team project manager of the Richmond Department of Information Technology. "If you look at just the initial delivery of the new alarm event by telephone and using this standard nationwide we predict across all the 6,500 public safety answering points [PSAPs] if they were to take advantage of the standard, we could eliminate 32 million telephone calls to 911 every year."

A good night's sleep is healing to the body and mind.
Brian McLaughlin
To Whom It May Concern:
A good night's sleep is healing to the body and mind. Conversely lack thereof can be profoundly disruptive in one's recovery journey. Deprivation of sleep plays havoc with thoughts and emotions. Stability is challenged and every task seems harder.
Sleep, or rather lack of sleep, is one of the greatest challenges I face in my personal recovery. During one cycle I did not sleep for six days. At onset I was not concerned. I used the anomaly to complete all manner of tasks. However, as time went on complex tasks became impossible and I was reduced to ruminating in a thick soup.
With the help of my doctor we hit upon medication that provided me with some relief. Sadly the remedy only provided me with a partial night's sleep; a sleep that was punctuated with frequent waking. Further, once awake I did not always find my way back to sleep.
I decided additional effort was required of me. During one of my sleepless hours I happened upon a documentary about sleepless infants and young children. The message given the equally sleepless young parents was simple: " Establish a bed time routine." All of the parents reported improvement.
Therefore, I endeavored to establish a routine of my own. My routine was not limited to the last waking hour but encompassed the entire day. With pencil and paper in hand I began to plan my routine. I jotted down every soothing thing I could think of. I imagine everyone's list will have things in common and something's unique.
Within my plan I slowly worked to limit caffeine. I implemented a program of light morning exercise. I reduced my exposure to some media. I took long hot showers in the morning and evening. And I placed light reading at bed side along with a hot beverage.
Sleep remains for me fragile. I sometimes wake. However, instead of becoming frustrated I get up to read or watch a bit of TV. I usually fall back asleep in 20 minutes. Sometimes I make it back to my bed, other times I finish the night snug in my favorite chair.
In closing, I strongly suggest the design of a routine, sleep being the goal. This author also encourages his peers not to be angered or upset when sleep does not come or when a night's sleep is less than perfect.

The goal of ABC4Trust is to address the federation and interchangeability of technologies that support trustworthy yet privacy-preserving Attribute-based Credentials (ABC). Towards this goal, one of the main objectives of the project is to define a common, unified architecture for privacy-ABC systems to allow comparing their respective features and combining them on common platforms. The first version of this architecture is described in the deliverable at hand. Its main contribution is the specification of the data artifacts exchanged between the implicated entities (i.e. issuer, user, verifier, revocation authority, etc.), in such a way that the underlying differences of concrete Privacy-ABC implementations are abstracted away through the definition of formats that can convey information independently from the mechanism-specific cryptographic data. It also defines all technology-agnostic components and corresponding APIs a system needs to implement in order to perform the corresponding operations, i.e. to process an obtained issuance/presentation policy, perform the selection of applicable credentials for a given policy or to trigger the mechanism-specific generation of the cryptographic evidence. How Privacy-ABCs can be applied in existing identity protocols and frameworks such as WS-*, SAML, OpenID, OAuth and X.509 and how Privacy-ABCs can help to alleviate some of the security, privacy and scalability issues of these protocols is also discussed.

I have updated iOS version to 4.3.5 but I want to reinstall 4.2.1. Does any one know how to reinstall 4.2.1 on iPhone?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 11 '11 at 16:50
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
This might be not possible, depending on what device you have. Because Apple has stopped signing 4.2.1, unless you have backed up your SHSH, there is no way back on iPhone 3GS or 4.
If you have jailbroken before, Cydia might have backed up your SHSH. Then you should use Cydia's server to perform a restore.

Music Notes
SPRING SEEMS THE time for musical death and rebirth here in Minneapolis. After a month of lamenting the upcoming end of live music at the Uptown Bar, the plug finally gets pulled this week. Following the Grifters and the Ass Ponys on Thursday (see A-List), the last show is a benefit for the Animal Rights Coalition on Saturday. And the last band to play (drum roll) is the Wonsers, with Steeplejack and Jerry Lefkowitz (of Fauna/Whoops Kitty fame) opening. While you're out paying your final respects, congratulate the Steeple boys; after shopping their Paisley Park-recorded debut Kitchen Radio they've now signed with the honky-tonkin' DejaDisc label outta Austin. Look for a summer release (Uptown Bar, 3018 Hennepin Ave.; Mpls.; 823-4719).
In other finalities, blitzkrieg trio Mickey Finn will reportedly call it quits after one more gig at 7th St. Entry tonight (Wednesday). After seven years and five drummers, Finn founders John Pucci and Dana Cochrane leave behind two fine albums and a couple of singles that were as good as any local pop noise in the '90s. In '94, they were robbed (in my opinion) of MMA Song of the Year honors for their twisted cover of Michael Jackson's "Shake Your Body." Cochrane's now working on an all-bass trio with Pete Conway (Flour, Rifle Sport) and Amy Larson (Strumpet, Flour) called Brits Out of America. Tonight's farewell gig features Cooper, Command Module and Cockpocalypse ($4. 8 p.m. 7th St. Entry, 701 First Ave. N., Mpls.; 338-8388).
Ever wonder why any kind of music-biz contract is always covered in all-caps mumbo jumbo like WHEREAS, HERETOFORE and INASMUCH? If you do, you need to know more before you sign on the dotted line. With the latest in its series of informative panels, Minnesota Music Academy presents "Street Legal: Legal Issues for Musicians" at the Fine Line on Tuesday. Local entertainment lawyers Doug Myren, Dan Satorius and Tony Mendoza will be on hand to sort out the rhyme and reason of publishing, licensing, and getting signed ($16/$6 MMA members. 6-8 p.m. Fine Line Music Cafe, 318 First Ave. N., Mpls.; 338-8100).
Indie CD onslaught XIV, in stores any moment: Pimentos for Gus, East of Sweden (World Control); Unbelievable Jolly Machine, Flap Jack (Mutagenic); Voodoo Love Mint, Something in French (Angry Seed); 36 Headshots, 46 Stars and a Sunfish (Metro). (Groebner)
THE U OF M's Whole Music Club continues to bring cool bands to town, though it seems something of a well-kept secret. This Friday's showcase is headed up by Braniac. Now why, you may ask, aren't they Alternative Nation stars yet? Probably because they have too much electronic noise in their raw indie pop sound, and maybe because they have too many cute cartoon aliens and kitties on their CD sleeve instead of the requisite cute band photo. Hissing Priggs in Static Couture, Braniac's debut for Chicago's Touch and Go, isn't exactly easy-listening, but it's weirder and smarter than the usual indie-rock guitar squall. Good move, men. Meanwhile, one would hope there's an early turnout for new critical darlings Sleater-Kinney, who frankly deserve the praise--they're a girl-punk band with a careening sense of momentum and a singer (Corin Tucker) whose pipes and emotional fury have kept us up at night (see feature, p. 32). Opening are our own Superman Curl, who have plenty of sloppy fun recycling vintage punk, pop, and new wavery, and Lazy ($5/$4 students. Doors at 7pm. Whole Music Cafe, underground at Coffman Union, 300 Washington Ave. SE, Mpls; 624-6453). (Keppel/Hermes)
THURSDAY IS ONE of the busiest music nights the Twin Cities have seen in ages. Fans of fascinating rhythms are directed to Tito Puente's gig at the posh Metropolitan. Puente, who turned 73 this week, seems just as vital today as when he was igniting the mambo craze 40 years ago, or rearing stars like Mongo Santamaria, Willie Bobo, Ray Barretto, and Celia Cruz in his big bands. While timbales remains his most proficient and crowd-pleasing instrument, Tito can blow saxophone and play some spirited vibes and piano when the occasion warrants. And since the Latin dance crowd may be Minnesota's hardiest partiers, expect the venue's dance floor to be packed ($18.50-$38. Metropolitan, 5418 Wayzata Blvd., Golden Valley; 989-5151).
Meanwhile, the obvious danger in putting four dynamic jazz pianists on four pianos in the same hall is too many notes and not enough nuance. Fortunately, each member of The Contemporary Piano Ensemble has matured beyond mere technique and places a priority on emotional expression. Using a vocabulary of blues, soul, and post-bop swing, each player is a headliner in his own right. Marcus Miller and James Williams were weaned on gospel and R&B bands as well as bop. Mabern, the elder statesman of the quartet, is a feisty, two-handed pianist with natural blues leanings. And Keezer is a young prodigy with astonishing chops that, like his peer Benny Green, have been honed into a sprightly, individualistic attack. Backed by bass and drums, the quartet swings in unison with enormous centrifugal force, and stokes the momentum further with distinct but complementary solo turns, making it feel like four great piano gigs for the price of one ($16-$18. Thursday, 8 p.m. Ted Mann Concert Hall, U of M West Bank Campus, Mpls.; 624-2345). (Robson)

Beyond Adversity
Enjoying Life After AdversityRSS 2.0
About Beyond Adversity
Even though there is no evidence to support it, some people believe that life-threatening injury always results in permanent disability or death. Such a belief is wrong! Doctors, nurses, social workers, pharmacists, therapists, spiritual leaders, family members, significant others, friends, neighbors, caregivers, and a variety of other factors definitely affect both survival and recovery. There is plenty of evidence that supports the belief that your contributions matter. If you want to make a difference, if you want recovery to be as effective as possible, then Beyond Injury™ is the right blog for you.
The main goals of this blog are to:
- Create a safe global community in which people who are affected by life-threatening injury feel comfortable sharing their stories, questions, and compensation strategies.
- Help people create, customize, and achieve the SMART goals that enable them to journey beyond injury.
A quick search of the internet will reveal that there are many websites and blogs dedicated to anatomical descriptions of injury, one person's experience dealing with a life-threatening injury, the effectiveness of medicine, and referrals to doctors. This blog is different because it does not focus on the anatomy of a specific injury, one person's exclusive experience, comparisons of medicine, or doctor referrals. People like you and me, who are either directly or indirectly affected by a life-threatening injury, are the focus of this blog.
The founders of Beyond Injury™ believe that many of the posts and comments on its blog will address recovery from brain injury but, if demand is strong enough, future articles will address recovery from other life-threatening injuries as well. Some articles in this blog will be written by, or for, people who may lose their battle to survive. Some articles will be written by brain injury survivors. Other articles will be written by the spouses, significant others, parents, children, siblings, friends, neighbors, caregivers, or therapists of brain injury survivors. You are invited to share your stories, ask your questions, and reveal your favorite compensation strategies.
Beyond Injury™ is a community of learning and sharing. Although inquisitiveness, disagreement, and friendly banter are welcome, there is absolutely no place on this blog, or in this world, for hateful, racist, discriminatory, harassing, or offensive comments. If you have any question about whether or not a comment might be inappropriate, please do not post the comment. If you see any posts or comments that are hateful, racist, discriminatory, harassing, or offensive, please notify us via the Contact Form under the Contact tab so the inappropriate text can be removed promptly.
The information on this blog is a statement of belief and is not a medical, legal, or financial fact. The founders, employees, contractors, volunteers, investors, donors, sponsors, and advertisers are not, in any way, accountable for the content of articles or comments written by others and published on this blog. Furthermore, guest authors do not necessarily agree with everything I write or believe, and I do not necessarily agree with everything guest authors write or believe. In addition, neither the guest authors nor I agree with everything said and believed by people who share their comments about a post. We can all agree to disagree without saying horrible things about each other.
About Scott
Prior to his cancer diagnosis, Scott earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Science with majors in Economics and Political Science; worked as a manager in metals distribution; saved the lives of lost and injured people as part of a cave/cliff rescue squad; earned a Masters of Business Administration with concentrations in Finance, Accounting, and Operations; managed projects for one of the world's largest international consulting firms; and created a management consulting firm that had clients in Minnesota, North Dakota, South Carolina, Arizona, Oregon, Alaska, and California.
Even after brain surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments to eradicate his brain cancer, Scott continued to work; continued to study; and earned professional certifications from the Project Management Institute, American Society of Quality, and Stanford University School of Professional Development. How were all of these achievements possible at a time when Scott was struggling with the hurdles of brain injury? The answers are in this blog.
If you or someone you know is facing what seem to be insurmountable hurdles after a life-threatening injury, then this blog is for you. Scott blogs about the compensation tools and the activities that help him survive and succeed beyond injury. He also invites comments, questions, and stories from other survivors of life-threatening injury as well as their spouses, significant others, parents, children, siblings, friends, neighbors, caregivers, therapists, teachers, and employers. Beyond Injury is your blog!

Hi S cott! You are an inspiration to me! Can you please add me to your blog. I had a benign brain tumor removed in 2004 and have lost my memory. Kind of like having Altzheimers in reverse. I have improved so much…I feel myself again.
Thanks for friending me on FB. I read more into where this blog is aiming, and am very inspired. The head injury sites I'm on have not been much help, but I'm not looking for much help anymore. I have struggled, lived a pretty full life, and overcome a lot, so I guess I am just looking to help others in any way I can. I am shocked when I hear what others are going thru, because looking back, on how I got to where I am, I have mostly positive memories, and am fortunate that I don't suffer from
1) head aches 2) seizures 3) unkind family/friends. My accident was in 1991. I too have a blog but it is basically just about my personal journey, and I often forget to point out what affects are because of my TBI. At this point, though, it seems as if every part of my life has been touched by my TBI… I could write about it forever.
Dear Scott and Team: I know someone who had a traumatic brain injury and now has significant behavior problems. From what I've heard, they had some anger issues before the injury but now they're severe and drive away the very people who would help. I doubt I could even take that level of negativity if I was around them all the time. Are you aware of any resources we could turn to? Thanks.
I love what I've been reading. I don't feel so alone anymore. I've had two concussions that I was totally knocked out. I also received two skull fractures and having a terrible time with numbers and I started radomly buying stuff trying to make me feel better. My personality is totally different. I can't get my family to understand that the old Missie they knew for 24 years has died. I'm a different person and it hurts me so much that my husband and kids think I can just go back to being the person I was before. I'm getting ready to leave my family is they soon don't realize who I am now. There is so much stress in my house because of me which makes my stress and anxiety worse which makes my brain injury worse. Just feeling worse. Wish I could get my family to talk to you for sure.
Hi Scott. My husband is a tbi survivor. He was beaten many times in the head dec 1 2011. We are and have been on a long journey. No one has any idea. Every day there are baby steps.long way to go, he is here working hard and never complains. So much to our story.
Scott, I am so glad that you are still with us and more so that you are able to spread your words of inspiration. Thank you for your posts. There is a lot to learn from them. You have certainly been on a long journey, no one would choose but you have in your own way made certain that your illness would turn into a strength, and that you wouldn't be bowed down by adversity. Keep being you and sharing your experiences with others.
Best wishes
I'd like to congratulate you on your fortitude, desire to strive ahead and your passion for furthering your education.
I enjoyed reading this post a lot and now I'm going to have to back read everything else 🙂
Scott-you are the only one that i know who has brain cancer and you make my day every time i see you because seeing you and how good you are doing and the goals that you have accomplished. i have the same thing. i have had brain cancer. i missed my daughters first b-day and now i spend as much time with her cause the accident i had before this a car hit me on my motorcycle and the dr told me that it would be very bad to have any kids at all so now my daughter is my angel same with my wife because my wife stayed there with me the whole time in the hospital and took notes more than my mom did. abi has helped me out soooo much cause they are teaching me so much about the real world and how to cognitively be in the real world because i have been out of it for a long time. thank you for meeting me
You have moved beyond your injury as your blog indicates. You are an inspiration for me and others struggling with recovery from BI and want a better life. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Your website is quite impressive! I am so very proud of the amazing man you have become. You have taken the tragedies in your life and turned them into blessings for others. By you sharing your experiences, I am certain you are a source of encouragement to all of the people who read your blog.
So very nice talking to you this evening. Please take care and keep in touch…
Your friend,

Can we afford "affordable?"
Have you gotten lost in the city recently?
I don't mean downtown. I mean it's neighborhoods, where a lot of people live in rundown houses and apartment buildings.
Most people who drive in and out of the city every day for work do not see these neighborhoods. But there are a lot of them, despite numerous programs to demolish, renovate, or build better housing for people whose income falls below the median. The pace of improvement has been falling far behind the pace of decay for more than a decade.
On Need to Know this week, we talk about why "affordable housing" requires government support. That means money. And that, we all know, is in short supply these days.
We'll also talk about a city plan to take the limited resources available, and spend them in a few targeted neighborhoods. That could have greater impact. But how do you select which neighborhoods get help first?
Join me for Need to Know, this Friday night at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV, Channel 21, Cable 11. You can watch it on Sunday at 12:30 p.m. as well. And the audio airs on WXXI-AM 1370 on Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

March 1, 1998
Valerie Greenberg hadn't planned on being interim dean. She hadn't planned on being dean, either. But after six months in the acting role, Greenberg accepted the appointment as dean of Newcomb College, effective Feb. 1.
"I've been able to start a number of things and initiate programs that I feel good about," says Greenberg, "and I want to see them to fruition."
It was because of the way Greenberg was "doing the job" that led provost Martha Gilliland--after consulting with representatives of Greenberg's constituencies of students, faculty, staff and alumnae--to waive a further search for Newcomb's top post.
"She's an unusual combination," says Gilliland. "First, she's a first-rate scholar and has enormous credibility with the liberal arts and sciences faculty."
Greenberg has been a professor of German at Tulane for 12 years. Her latest book, Freud and His Aphasia Book: Language and the Sources of Psychoanalysis, was published by Cornell University Press last month. Also, Gilliland adds Greenberg's engaging style and interpersonal skills to the mix of her deanly attributes.
"She connects with people, and she's an extremely good listener. "Lastly," Gilliland continues, "Valerie follows through and gets the job done." Greenberg's administrative skills were largely unknown before she was tapped for the interim deanship in July. "But it turns out she has many administrative skills," says Carol Cudd, a member of the Tulane Board of Administrators and a Newcomb alumna. "It is remarkable how she was able to pick up the reins of the college."
Harriet Schupp, another Newcomb alumna, notes that the combination of Greenberg's "great warmth, large heart and creative intellect make for wise and strong leadership." Greenberg's appointment fits into the wave of new leadership at Tulane, including Gilliland, on board in the provost position since last July, Teresa Soufas' appointment to the dean of the faculty of liberal arts and sciences this fall and the impending arrival of president-elect Scott S. Cowen next summer.
"I'm excited and have positive feelings about the new leadership," Greenberg says. "I think that Newcomb and interest in the college will flourish, starting with Teresa Soufas, who over the years has been very closely involved on Newcomb committees, and provost Martha Gilliland, who is interested in women's education and in the other divisions of Newcomb, including the children's center and the women's center."
From her understanding, Greenberg thinks that Cowen is interested in learning more about the coordinate college system and Newcomb's place in it. When he takes office July 1, she's ready to work with him to "help him learn about Newcomb's excellence and keep us on the forefront.
"There is so much excellence here already, and I do want none of that to be lost," Greenberg says. "We will continue to institute new programs. I want to ensure that I get continuing input from students as to their needs and desires. We will be flexible, open-minded and try to move with the times."
As examples of initiatives that she wants to see to completion, Greenberg cites one new program that will allow Newcomb students to interact with international honorary consuls and another in which students will cooperatively work with young girls in New Orleans public schools on issues of self-esteem and developing life options.
"I have such wonderful people to work with," Greenberg says. "It's been a joy. Being dean has opened up a whole new dimension of the university to me."

Hi everyone!
Im Martin, a student in England and I really really really like them two wheeled things called bikes! Both the motor and push type
Not been on a push bike since I had my Diamondback stolen a few years ago but since being at uni and working part time and also having my motorbike stolen two years ago, I got back in to the two wheeled things as soon as money allowed.
Here is my current ride i received today and been out for a quick blast and can't wait to take her apart and get her all greased up ready for the spring/summer ahead.
Raleigh Flyer 1980's Race Bike.
Its my first ever race/road bike and i cant wait to add some more mileage to it!
Im also a bit of a handy man and like to keep myself and my hands busy so for the past 3 months I have been scouring the internet and mostly ebay for spare parts/groupset/wheels for a Saracen early 90's hardtail mountain bike. Its the one on the left, all primered and waiting for the next sunny day which was actually today but I was busy doing websites for people
The Saracen is alu framed and will have road tyres and 7gears, all calculated for the roads where I live. Mostly new parts are going on, reason for re-spray is that it was luminous green and some of the parts where starting to rust. Going to be gloss white like other bikes I have refurbished in the past.
The bike on the right was a frame i picked up last week off of ebay for a bargain £10. Dawes Amora 19". Dont know what i will be doing with it yet, maybe purple? May even leave the frame and get the bike assembled with the cheapest parts I can.
See you around Leeds, the north of England and highlands of Scotland. As i frequent the north west coast a lot as my parents recently moved up there, cant wait to take the race bike in April for a great week cycling, fell walking and some swimming.
