Get fit. Get awesome. And have fun.
Whether training for athletic competition, going to a fitness class, or just staying in shape, the Johnson Fitness Center is the place to be.
To meet the growing fitness demands of the entire Washington College community—students, faculty, staff and members of The 1782 Society who opt to use the facility—we renovated and expanded the existing Strength and Conditioning Center in the winter of 2013. The new center is located at the southernmost part of the JFC.
The JFC is a comprehensive exercise facility that includes an indoor field house with 4 tennis courts, 200 meter indoor track, 3 basketball courts, and a batting cage. Just outside the field house the JFC houses 2 racquetball and 2 squash courts, a 1200 sq. ft. dance studio, locker rooms, and a state of the art Strength and Conditioning Center.
Schedules and information may be obtained by calling 410-778-7256 or by email at campus_recreation@. Reservations for the courts can be made at the front desk of the JFC.
The Grand Reopening of the Johnson Fitness Center packed brought scores of guests to celebrate the expansion of the space.
As the Johnson Fitness Center renovation reaches completion, students and staff share their gratitude to the alumni and friends who made the update possible.

I found this on an Australian blog site. Seems that the Australian universities are just as much sheltered workshops for village idiots as are ours. Our civilization is doomed. When you read this, take into account that these idiots are supposed to be "scientists".
Seems that in our universities you can only preach to the choir; provided that you use their song book. Dissenting views will get you sent to the Gulag.
Every totalitarian movement starts with people determined to silence debate. Our universities seem to be training the next generation of Red Guards.
The UNSW Student Representative Council is calling on the conservative UNSW Warrane College to cancel their annual lecture by the former Minister for Defence, Kevin Andrews MP. The event is scheduled for Wednesday October 7th and is titled, 'The Building Blocks of Western Civilisation: Reflections on Marriage and the Family'.
It is assumed that Mr Andrews' lecture will address opposing marriage equality and issues surrounding gender, particularly considering he has been a key figure in blocking marriage equality legislation. It is the view of President Billy Bruffey, and the SRC that this lecture will cause UNSW students to feel victimised and isolated, and that Mr Andrews' views do not conform with those of the University or its students.
The arrogance is astonishing. Does Bruffey purport to represent the views of all students and staff? This refusal to let other people even hear another point of view is frightening.
FLINDERS University students are "repulsed" by the prospect of a new policy centre associated with controversial Danish academic Bjorn Lomborg, who has long been accused of downplaying the dangers posed by global warming.
The university has been in talks with the Federal Government about establishing the Australian Consensus Centre, which would come with $4 million funding and base its work on Lomborg's methodologies…
Flinders University Student Association general secretary Grace Hill said students would launch a campaign immediately against having "a climate change denial centre on campus".
"I'm pretty repulsed by it," she said.
"At this stage there seems to be no student or staff consultation. It's right-wing junk. It was excellent to see him booted out of WA so hopefully the same will happen here..."
Students at the University of Western Australia (UWA) say the decision to can controversial Danish academic Bjorn Lomborg's Australian Consensus Centre is a win for academic integrity and common sense.
The Australian Consensus Centre was going to be set up with the help of a $4 million Federal Government grant, but University Vice Chancellor Paul Johnson last night said the proposed centre was untenable and lacked academic support.
UWA student guild president Lizzy O'Shea said students were concerned about the impact the centre, inspired by self-proclaimed "sceptical environmentalist" Dr Lomborg, could have on the university's reputation....
"The example that I use is there was a unit at UWA that used to use Lomborg's book as an example of bad science, and what not to do for students, and so a primary concern was the fact that he would be allowed to be associated with UWA when we hold our first year students who are 17, right out of high school, to a higher standard than that."
A LECTURE by retired army colonel Richard Kemp at the University of Sydney was disrupted by at least a dozen screaming students who fought with security on Wednesday afternoon.
The students had burst into the room shouting "Richard Kemp, you can't hide, you support genocide" and wrestled with security guards before being removed from the hall.
Kemp was giving a lecture about ethical dilemmas of military tactics and dealing with non-state armed groups…
Professor Jake Lynch, the director of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPACS) at the university, shouted in the faces of students and screamed that attempts to remove the protesters was a violent attack on freedom of speech by security guards. He was also seen holding money to the face of a Jewish student and filmed students in attendance without their consent.
"This protest was about my perspective on the IDF," Kemp said. "I was in Israel during the 2014 summer conflict and I do believe that the IDF in their attack on Hamas in Gaza … were doing everything they could to protect civilians … people have told me I am wrong, but no one has told me what more steps Israel could take to minimise civilian casualties."
This is ugly. It's bad enough that so many students want to stay stupid; but they will be the future leaders of our society.

I'm using this version of mfs_Ftp and have notice one bug. The date/time that's returned to the FTP clients is always AM. This means that if something is recorded at 9:00am, then the right time is returned and my client sets the time of the extracted file to the start of program time. However, if I recorded it at 9:00pm, it returns a time that is also 9:00am. Is this a known issue?
This is with wget on FreeBSD, if that matters.

Beat the Streak Report: Weekend, June 10-12
Streakers: BIG NEWS
Remember when @MLB challenged Stephen Colbert to a little pick-off a few weeks back? Well it's about to get real.
Yesterday, the official Twitter of Major League Baseball reminded Mr. Colbert of the outstanding offer:
"Is @StephenAtHome up to the Beat the Streak challenge? Does he like fun? If he wins, the keys to @MLB are his for 24 hours #BTS challenge."
And lo and behold, he has accepted the challenge. The rules are simple: Three days, three Beat the Streak selections. If Colbert can post a longer streak than @MLB, he gets the keys to the Twitter for 24 hours. The first tiebreaker will be total number of days with a hit, followed by total hits by all picks, and then combined batting average of all picks.
What would @StephenAtHome do with a direct line to 1.2 million baseball fans? We're guessing a lot of anti-bear propaganda.
For those new to Beat the Streak, get in on the Challenge and sign up here.

1.2 million fans? BTS fans? Is that how many are really playing this game?
I cannot be totally sure, but I think the 1.2 million fans is the number of people that follow @MLB on Twitter.
So that would not be the total number of people playing Beat the Streak then.
I really wish someone would tell us!
I think you're right champ.

WOW, RotoWorld just mentioned that Ichiro is 3 for his last 36!
That's why he's getting a day off today.
K, you want to take care of the weekend?

And yet again, my bad. Ethier got a hit yesterday. The pick that reset the most yesterday was actually the 52 No Picks. Alex Gordon made it close to taking this honor, but hit in last AB.
5th-inning single by Ellsbury moves me to 2!
Polanco's PH 0-fer hurt a bunch today. Otherwise, overall this weekend was very kind to most of the streakers, but not all. Looking at a reset rate of about 20%-ish today.

Hi All
The following is to try and bring together all the different opinions I have found on various sites on the web about the Japanese internal protective coating called Aotake and the many reports of Japanese aircraft losing their paint very quickly [chipping and fading] which has given rise to the opinion that Japanese paint of the period was in some way inferior in quality. Please remember I am not claiming to be an expert in anyway and don't always get it right, this is a guide to help people in there choices of finish. Also this is quite long so may take up several posts to compleat.
To begin with there were two arms of the Japanese military that flew the Zero namely the Army and the Navy, both having completely different standards of finish to delivered aircraft to each service. The Navy wanted maximum protection for all there aircraft so they could survive the weather/ environment of shipboard carrier operations, the Army on the other hand were less stringent in there requirements. This also throws up the debate about where and what coverage of Aotake was used on the Zero, I have found out early models were basicly covered in the stuff and as the war progressed and raw materials began to run out less and less Aotake was used.
Another point to add is there are pictures available of various zero's some are from wreaks others from survivors, the wreaks can be hard to identify and may be Army or Navy in origin. This I think is where some confusion has entered the debate as each arm had different finish requirements and if the pictures from unidentified aircraft are to be compared try to make sure they are all either Army or Naval versions as I think they may have been unintentionaly mixed up in the past as very few pictures were available at the time and has added to the confusion of actual Aotake application.

NEW YORK (AP) — Americans cut back on soda at an accelerated pace last year, bringing sales volume to the lowest level since 1995, according to a new report.
U.S. sales volume of carbonated soft drinks fell 3 percent in 2013, extending a streak of declines that began nearly a decade ago. It also represents a steeper drop than the 1.2 percent decline in 2012 and the 1 percent drop in 2011, according to an annual report by Beverage Digest, an industry tracker.
The declines mean that 1.2 billion cases have been wiped from the industry since 1995. Each case represents 192 ounces.
Carbonated soft drinks still represent the biggest category in the beverage industry. But the popularity of longtime favorites like Coke, Pepsi and Dr Pepper is waning as a growing number of alternatives like flavored waters and energy drinks pop up in beverage aisles.
Soda is also fighting its bad image as a source of empty calories, with public health advocates blaming it for fueling weight gain.
Even diet sodas are suffering. Last year, for instance, Diet Coke's sales volume declined 6.8 percent, compared to a 0.5 percent drop for regular Coke, according to Beverage Digest. Diet Pepsi declined 6.9 percent, compared to a 3.6 percent decline for regular Pepsi.
Industry executives blame the trend in diet sodas on worries people have about artificial sweeteners. But diet sodas are also facing intensifying competition from the proliferation of lower-calorie alternatives, many of which are made with artificial sweeteners as well. Sparkling Ice, a small brand owned by TalkingRain, for instance, last year saw sales more than double, according to IRI, a Chicago-based market research firm.
Overall, Coca-Cola Co., which also owns Sprite and Fanta, saw its soda volume fall 2.2 percent.
PepsiCo Inc., which makes Mountain Dew, saw volume fall 4.4 percent. That was despite the company's stepped up marketing for its flagship soda, including sponsorship of the Super Bowl halftime show for the past two years.
Coke remains the top soda brand, followed by Diet Coke at No. 2, Pepsi at No. 3 and Mountain Dew at No. 4. The only new brand in the top 10 was Coke Zero, which displaced Diet Dr Pepper.
Coca-Cola and PepsiCo both make an array of other beverages, including bottled water, orange juice and sports drinks. But sodas still account for a large and lucrative portion of their businesses, and executives have expressed determination in getting sales volume back on the path to growth.
Dan Schafer, a spokesman for Coca-Cola, said the Atlanta company was "committed to returning our overall sparkling business to growth in the U.S."
A representative for PepsiCo of Purchase, N.Y., didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Weaver outshined by Felix in Seattle
Angels ace allows nine hits while bats are shut down
SEATTLE -- After missing nearly two months with a broken arm, Angels right-hander Jered Weaver was finally on a roll.
Heading into his start Saturday night against Seattle, he was coming off back-to-back victories and had a 0.89 ERA over his previous three starts.
Then along came his opposing pitcher, Felix Hernandez. The Mariners' ace right-hander wouldn't give the Angels much of anything, holding them to seven hits in eight innings of a 6-0 victory.
Weaver allowed a three-run, sixth-inning home run to first baseman Justin Smoak, who had four RBIs.
"I tried to battle, tried not make a mistake there, trying to keep your team in the game," Weaver (3-5) said. "With the way Felix was throwing, one run would have made a difference. Smoak had a big home run there. Obviously, it was the difference in the game. Felix was dominant tonight."
Hernandez (10-4) struck out four and walked none. He also took over the American League's ERA leadership at 2.53.
"Felix is tough," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We've gotten to him here and there. Tonight, he made the pitches when he had to. We hit the ball early on with not much to show for it. He changed speeds well. He pitched a strong game for them.
"Weav pitched with his back against the wall. We gave away a run early when Hank [Conger] just couldn't come up with the throw. And we couldn't get out of the sixth inning."
Weaver worked out of a two-on, one-out jam in the second inning with a Mike Zunino comebacker that he turned into a 1-6-3 double play.
He faced the same situation in the fourth as Kendrys Morales and Kyle Seager singled with one out. Smoak, in a 10-pitch at-bat, rapped a single to right that Josh Hamilton gathered on one hop.
Morales, who is not fast, was waved around third and appeared ready to run into catcher Conger's tag. But Conger dropped the ball and the Mariners led, 1-0. Weaver would get out of the inning with another double play.
"I think he just missed it," Scioscia said of Conger.
Then in the sixth, Weaver was seemingly in control after he retired the first two batters. Morales then singled and took third on Seager's single.
Smoak stepped up and hit Weaver's first pitch over the center-field wall for his eighth home run. It also extended the Mariners' club record of hitting at least one home run in 21 straight games.
"It was not a bad pitch, fastball down and away," Weaver said. "Maybe living on the outside part of the plate too much. It looked like he was sitting on something away."
One batter later, Weaver was lifted, matching his second-shortest start of the season, 5 2/3 innings. He allowed nine hits -- matching his season high -- struck out three and did not walk a batter.
"I've battled against that guy every since [he was with] Texas," Weaver said of Smoak. "You see these guys a lot. You try to switch it up as much as possible. Sometimes they get you, and sometimes you get the out. You tip your cap when they do."
This was the 10th time the teams' aces opposed each other, and Weaver had the clear advantage. He came in with a 5-1 record and 3.02 ERA, while Hernandez was 1-6 with a 5.88 ERA in those matchups.
Mike Trout had a triple in his three at-bats against Hernandez. He is now 15-for-33 (.455) with a home run, two doubles and two triples in his career against him.
Hamilton and Albert Pujols went 0-for-8 against Hernandez, who blew a 7-0 lead on the way to a 10-9 Mariners loss the last time he faced the Angels.
"You know Pujols is a good hitter," Hernandez said. "I just try to make good pitches and make him feel uncomfortable, and like I said, that was the key right there.
"First of all, to keep Trout off the bases is very important, and that's what I did today, except the triple. I just tried to make good pitches. You know what happened last game against these guys, and my mindset was just trying to attack the hitters and throw strikes."
This was just Weaver's second loss in 15 decisions in July since 2011.

Screening for Stroke
]]>Main Page]]> | ]]>Risk Factors]]> | ]]>Symptoms]]> | ]]>Diagnosis]]> | ]]>Treatment]]> | Screening | ]]>Reducing Your Risk]]> | ]]>Talking to Your Doctor]]> | ]]>Living With Stroke]]> | ]]>Resource Guide]]>
The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Guidelines or Tests
There are no screening guidelines for ]]>stroke]]>. There are no tests designed to detect a stroke before you have symptoms. A stroke comes on too quickly.
But, there are warning signs and symptoms that can alert you to the need for additional testing to see if you are at higher risk for a stroke. ]]>Transient ischemic attacks]]> (TIAs) are brief episodes where blood flow to a particular area of the brain is halted. This leads to temporary symptoms of a stroke. Since no permanent damage is done, these events may serve as warning signs that tests need to be done.
Similarly, certain heart-related symptoms (eg, palpitations, temporary dizziness) may be symptoms of ]]>atrial fibrillation]]>. This condition could put you at higher risk for developing a stroke. Your doctor may do tests to determine your risk. These test may include:
- Carotid ultrasound
- ]]>Electrocardiogram]]> (EKG)
- ]]>Echocardiogram]]>
In addition, at your routine physical exam, your doctor does some screening tests to detect conditions that increase your risk of stroke and heart disease. These include blood pressure measurement, cholesterol tests, and blood glucose tests for diabetes. There are also screening questionnaires that can help predict your risk for stroke. These can be a helpful starting point for beginning a discussion with your doctor about lowering your risk factors for a stroke.

Highly touted Phil Davis (6-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) has agreed to replace injured Stanislav Nedkov (11-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and now meets Rodney Wallace (9-2 MMA, 0-2 UFC) at next month's UFC 117 event.
A source close to one of the competitors today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com).
Nedkov's representatives could not immediately be reached for comment to determine the nature of the UFC newcomer's injury.
The Times and Democrat (South Carolina) first reported the change. Although not officially announced by the UFC, the Nedkov vs. Wallace matchup has been removed from the event's fight card on UFC.com.
UFC 117 takes place Aug. 7 at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., and the night's main card airs on pay-per-view.
Davis, an NCAA Division I national wrestling champ at Penn State, is 2-0 since signing with the UFC and debuting earlier this year. After topping former WEC champ Brian Stann at UFC 109, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu blue belt then submitted Alexander Gustafsson at UFC 112 to move to 6-0 overall.
Another win from Davis likely will send his opponent packing from the UFC. Although he entered the UFC with a remarkable 9-0 record, Wallace, a three-time state high-school wrestling champion, since has posted back-to-back decision losses to Stann and Jared Hamman. However, that action-packed and crowd-pleasing fight with Hamann at UFC 111, which all three judges scored 29-28, earned him a $65,000 "Fight of the Night" bonus and earned him a third UFC fight.
Nedkov, a Shooto and World Victory Road/Sengoku vet who recently defeated Kevin Randleman and Travis Wiuff, was scheduled to make his UFC debut at UFC 117.
For more on UFC 117, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

Google has always been a somewhat "agnostic" resource for local results returning the good with the bad. But when combined with a total waste of good time and Twitter it can produce some interesting results.
Dan Lieibson noted some "unusual" results that Andrew Shotland and I could not resist pursuing to their (ill)logical conclusion.
With their help we were able to surface some carousels that seem to take the cake for tasteless.

The City of Chicago today released the names of the 35 restaurants that will be participating in this year's Taste of Chicago, held July 10-14 in Grant Park.
There are a lot of familiar faces in the lineup, including Eli's Cheesecake (which has never missed a Taste), Lou Malnati's (every Taste except the first) and longtime participants Abbey Pub, Bacinos, BJ's Market & Bakery, Iyanze, Kasia's Deli, Original Rainbow Cone and Robinson's No. 1 Ribs.
New this year are Bombay Spice Grill & Wine, Flip Crepes, Lao Ma La (a Tony Hu restaurant, replacing Lao Sze Chuan, which participated in the last two Tastes) and Wishbone. Also Beat Kitchen and Caffe Gelato, which participated last year as one-day "Pop-Up" restaurants, return as full five-day participants.
There will be some new faces at Taste's Pop-Up booths, which allow a few restaurants to serve at Taste for just one or two days. The contemporary-American restaurant Hearty will be at Taste on July 10 and 11, Bridgeport pizzeria Punky's Pizza and Pasta will serve on July 11, the chicken specialist Pecking Order will be at Taste July 11 and 12, Taco Joint Urban Taqueria will appear July 12 and 13 and Tony Mantuano's Terzo Piano will appear July 13 and 14. Jin Ju (Korean), Inspiration Kitchen (vegetarian) and Garifuna Flava (Caribbean), all Pop-Up participants in 2012, will return this year.
Conspicuous by their absence are Harold's Chicken #71 and Polo Cafe and Catering Bridgeport U.S.A., which declined to participate this year.
"We decided in December that we needed to focus more on what we're doing on Morgan Street, with the restaurant, catering and the bed and breakfast," said Polo Cafe chef/owner Dave Samber, who had participated in 21 consecutive Tastes. "I'll miss it, but on the other hand, the five-day format (Taste previously ran 10 days, sometimes more) is a difficult period to amortize your expenses. And I'm at a point where I really want to develop what I'm doing here more."

How super is the new Continental Supersports? Really super? Very super? Kinda super? Let's have John Davis and co. explain.
Well, it's more powerful and has a nearly telepathic gearshift. It's also ONLY 4,900 pounds.
And man is it fast, a wonderful velvet hammer that gets to 60 in 3.9 seconds. Around a corner it looks like a boat, but a boat with a nice suspension. Otherwise, inside it isn't the Bentley opulence you'd expect, but lightly padded seats.
This big Ben is more of a big bad Ben, if you ask me!

Before Adobe Flash for mobile was killed a few days ago, in 2006, Neha Tiwari who used to work for CNET, interviewed Adobe Systems' Mike Downey (ex-Senior Product Manger for Flash) regarding Adobe Flash's future. If you haven't watched the 4 minute interview, I highly suggest you watch it before reading this post.
Ironically, Mike Downey now works for Microsoft in the Evangelism group. He's working on Windows 8 and HTML5 now. If we analyze this interview from 2006, we can conclude that not even Adobe was able to predict Flash's future correctly. Instead, it was Steve Jobs in 2010 who got it right. It is sad that Adobe couldn't have made the announcement a month ago, while Steve was around to see it.
Prediction 1:
Neha starts off the interview by asking Mike:
What do you see in the near future for Flash?
Mike responded by saying that he saw Flash being very successful on the web and quickly expanding to other platforms like mobile and car computer systems. He then went on to say that Flash would see a huge explosion among video and mobile.
Five years after the prediction was made, the opposite has occurred. Shocker isn't it? First of all, instead of Flash, HTML5 has been rapidly adopted among developers and companies for video across the web and on mobile platforms. In fact, ABI Research Data predicts that by 2016, 2.1 billion devices will have HTML5 support. I would even argue that this was partly because of Apple's stance on HTML5 and refusal to offer Flash on iOS devices. After all, Apple did kill the floppy disk by using a similar method. This is funny because Apple's iOS devices were considered to be doomed due to the lack of Flash support. Secondly, Adobe was never able to offer a great Flash experience on mobile devices. As The Small Wave's Tom Reestman rightly said, Adobe always labeled Flash on mobile as coming soonand the performance was always pathetic. You know what's even more pathetic? The fact that Google bet on such a crappy technology. How a non-evil company can tolerate to offer a poor user experience to its customers is beyond me. Remember, not evil indeed.
Here's some food for thought:
Now that Flash for mobile is dead, what exactly is Android's major selling point going to be? In my opinion, the bottom line is that the average consumer doesn't care about open, customization, or hardware specs. They just want something that works great.
Prediction 2:
Neha then asked:
How about a decade from now? Where do you see Flash then?
Mike responded by saying that Flash can grow into a wide variety of additional digital interfaces. He also went on to talk about how Flash would excel on mobile devices.
Reality check? See what I did there? HA! I think Neha threw a googly there. Five years after, Flash is on its deathbed and Adobe is pivoting as an entire company. There's not much more to analyze here…
Prediction 3:
Neha concludes the interview by asking a question that made me laugh. In fact, I'm going to be grinning the entire time while I type the next few paragraphs.
On YouTube, where do you think sites that like are going?
Mike responded by saying that video sites like these type of sites were headed towards a click on the play button and video just starts playingtype of site and that Flash is the only thing that can allow this to happen.
If Flash had allowed this to happen, then that would explain why Google created an awesome UI out of HTML5 for iOS device owners, right? In addition, although while at the time of the interview Flash was indeed the king of video, Downey over-confidently underestimated how quickly a new, disruptive technology could come along and completely reshape the landscape of an industry, as we know it. HTML5 — mind you, a technology that he is now involved with in his new role at Microsoft — is quickly emerging to become the preferred standard over Flash.
Funnily enough, at this part near the end of the interview, he used the word "pervasive" to describe Flash.
Dictionary definition: (esp. of an unwelcome influence or physical effect) Spreading widely throughout an area or a group of people)
Sounds about right. Yes, Flash was popular, and it spread widely throughout an area or a group of people, but the same can be said of odors and disease.
Last year, Steve Jobs wrote a letter titled Thoughts on Flash, which people thought was a gimmick at that time. If we look back at it now, that letter nailed it. In fact, Adobe didn't kill Flash, they just reassured it. It was Apple who killed Flash. Since the introduction of the first iPhone, Apple hasn't allowed Flash on its devices, and their effort paid off. For a company that's been declared doomedmany times, they have been more disruptive than ever. The death of Flash doesn't benefit just Apple, but instead it benefits everyone.

Let $\omega$ be an $n$-form on $S^n$, nowhere vanishing.
Is there a Riemannian metric $g$ on $S^n$, so that its volume form is $\omega$, and $(S^n,g)$ is homogeneous? Is it unique, and if not, what transformations of $S^n$ relates such metrics?
For example, for $n=1$, the unique metric with these properties is $\text{d} u^2$, where $u=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int\omega$.

Obama Asks Terrorism Help — from Muslim Brotherhood
March 7th, 2011
As more sober
minds consider ways to keep
the Middle East from falling into the hands of the Muslim Brotherhood,
Barack Obama is "fighting terrorism" by reaching out to the leader of one of the
Brotherhood's American creations. In the process, a White House official
revealed that radical Muslims frequently advise the White House office headed by
the president's top adviser and alter ego, Valerie Jarrett.
Preemptive Groveling
Flush with instances of American Muslims supporting Islamic jihad,
Rep. Peter King is set to launch his investigation into the radicalization of
U.S. mosques, imams, and the faithful they serve later
this week. Barack Obama, ever keen to reach out to the Muslim
community, decided to get ahead of this by sending a deputy to plead with
the extremists for cooperation. On Sunday, Deputy National Security Advisor
Denis McDonough spoke
to a Sterling, Virginia, mosque some believe is a model of moderate Islam:
the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS), led by imam Mohamed Magid. Indeed,
McDonough began by thanking Magid by name.
Although the Sudanese-born imam presents himself as an ecumenical,
anti-terrorism leader active in "interfaith" outreach, his current associations
— and those of others at his mosque — present a different picture.
A Dangerous Mosque
This author exposed
ADAMS's radical connections nearly seven years. At the time, ADAMS's
chairman was Ahmad Totonji, an Iraqi-born citizen of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia
who was named as a
defendant in a $1 trillion lawsuit filed by more than 600 relatives of
people who died in the 9/11 attacks. He served as Vice President of the Safa
Group and the International Institute for Islamic Thought (IIIT), which
officials have linked to al-Qaeda,
Islamic Jihad, and Sami al-Arian.
(Al-Arian served more than five years in prison after pleading guilty to
conspiracy to aid terrorism, and he is currently under house arrest awaiting his
contempt trial, which has been mysteriously
stalled.) ADAMS's legal counsel, Muhammed Ashraf, was the attorney for
Abdurahman Alamoudi, who is now serving 23 years in prison for laundering
money for Muammar Qaddafi in a plot to kill a Saudi prince.
Magid was on the premises of ADAMS's Herndon, Virginia, offices when federal
agents stormed the facility in March 2002. The "Grove Street Addresses" provided
the homes of more than 100 interlocking Muslim organizations that the government
accused of providing material support for terrorism. After the raid, Magid
assembled a "community building" meeting at ADAMS attended by a variety of
FBI Snitch, Reagan Euglogizer?
Somehow, this record got Magid invited
to speak at Ronald Reagan's funeral in 2004….

Its thick-bar gallery wrap caresses the 1.5-inch-thick edges of pieces with a snug, canvasy embrace that's suitable for hanging without a frame. Customers can consult the FAQs with questions about canvases or to help determine whether the clouds above their homes are the cumulus variety.

United Way still needs donations for Lewiston fire victims
Victims looking for long-term needs like boots and winter coats
Three fires set in Lewiston over a 10-day span back in May left 55 families displaced. In all, about 200 people. Since then, several organizations throughout Androscoggin County have been working to help those people find shelter, clothing and food.
The United Way of Androscoggin County tells News 8 as of this week, all of the families have found apartments. The agency says most everyone has their basic needs met as far as things like couches and kitchen sets, but is now looking for long-term needs, things like winter coats and boots.
Gov. Paul LePage earmarked the United Way to be the agency to facilitate the Lewiston fire relief fund and donated $50,000 from his contingency fund. The United Way says they have raised over $200,000 for the fund.
The organization says it has been challenging getting supplies to so many different people at various locations so they can get their lives back to normal, but many different organizations have helped with the effort.
The United Way says it hopes all families are set with both immediate and long term needs by August.

Jason Day has defied his season of injury and illness to fire a sublime six-under 65, rocketing the Queenslander to second place and just one shot off world No.1 Rory McIlroy's lead late in a wet second round of the PGA Championship.
McIlroy, winner of the British Open and World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational at his last two starts, carded a four-under 67 to push out to nine-under par but Day bested him by two shots in the soggy conditions at Valhalla Golf Club to be eight-under.
Americans Ryan Palmer (70), Rickie Fowler (66) and Jim Furyk (17 holes) share third at seven-under.
World No.9 Day blitzed out of the blocks, shooting a front nine five-under 30 thanks to three birdies and an eagle.
He knocked a 17-foot birdie putt in on the second and then hit a lovely wedge to five-feet on the fourth before converting with his putter.
He then munched an approach to the par five seventh and rolled in a 14-foot eagle, igniting the galleries.
The 26-year-old stayed hot with a stellar approach to six-feet on the par three eighth and buried the putt to continue his roll.
Desperately close to birdies on the 10th and 11th but forced to settle for pars Day started to cool off and a bogey on the 15th seemed to stall his tilt.
But back-to-back birdies on his last two holes put an exclamation mark on the current low round of the day.
Coming into the event after withdrawing last week with vertigo Day was under the radar of most pundits, but has certainly started to garner attention and is odds on to be in the final group with McIlroy on Saturday.
Matt Jones posted an even par round of 71 to stay three-under, extending his stay at Valhalla into the weekend, as did Geoff Ogilvy (71) at two-under.
Adam Scott managed a final hole birdie to join Ogilvy at two-under, needing a huge Saturday to get back in the mix.
The rest of the Australians seem destined to miss the cut.
Marc Leishman is three-over through 16 holes while club pro Stuart Deane's dreams of making the cut were dashed after he finished at four-over but he did well to shoot 71 in round two.
Steven Bowditch joined Deane at four-over and John Senden (+7) will also miss out on the weekend.

Latest News
Up to 50,000 badgers could be killed this year under the government's cull – nearly double the number of last year and three-quarters of the total killed since the cull began six years ago, campaigners claim. The figure appears in an article by Jamie Doward in the Observer on Saturday (7 September 2019).
The increase is caused by a predicted expansion in licensed culling zones.
This week the government is expected to confirm approval of a further 10 zones in England, taking the total to 42. This comes despite the fact that data released under the Freedom of Information Act suggests incidents of bovine TB may be increasing in cull zones – which would make it difficult for the government to justify expanding the cull.
There are unconfirmed claims that, in a potential breach of the law, badgers are being killed in some of the zones before the licences have been issued.
Dominic Dyer, chief executive of the Badger Trust, has told Boris Johnson: "Your government is about to sign off on the largest destruction of a protected species in living memory – as you are aware nearly 68,000 badgers have been killed in England since 2013, in a failed attempt by the government to lower bovine TB in cattle." He added that the expansion of the culling zones "could result in the killing of over 50,000 badgers in the next two months, pushing this protected species to the verge of local extinction in areas of Britain it has inhabited since the ice age."

This program offers four concentrations:
Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner (AGNP)
The adult-gerontology nurse practitioner is a provider of direct health care services. Within this role, the AGNP synthesizes theoretical, scientific, and contemporary clinical knowledge for the assessment and management of both health and illness states. The population in adult primary care practice includes adolescents and young, middle, and older adults. The particular expertise of the adult primary care nurse practitioner emphasizes disease prevention, health promotion, and the management of patients with acute and chronic multi-system health problems. Delivering patient care with respect to cultural and spiritual beliefs and making health care resources available to patients from diverse cultures is an important role component. Most adult nurse practitioners practice in primary care settings, which include general and specialty practices. The AGNP provides consultation, collaboration, continuing education, certification, and evaluation. Upon entry into practice, the adult-gerontology nurse practitioner demonstrates competence in the categories of health promotion, health protection, disease prevention, and diagnostics. Graduates will sit for the Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner certification examination.
Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)
Family nurse practitioners are primary health care providers. As advanced practice registered nurses (APRN), they provide nursing and medical services to individuals, families, and groups, emphasizing health promotion and disease prevention across the life span. The FNP synthesizes theoretical, scientific and contemporary clinical knowledge in the management of acute and chronic diseases and the treatment of minor injuries.
Services include, but are not limited to, history and physical examinations, the ordering of appropriate diagnostic and laboratory tests, the prescription of pharmacologic agents and treatments, and nonpharmacologic therapies. Teaching and counseling individuals, families, and groups are major parts of a nurse practitioner's activities. Family nurse practitioners work autonomously, as well as in collaboration with a variety of individuals, to diagnose and manage clients' health care problems. Graduates will be qualified to sit for the Family Nurse Practitioner certification examination.
Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) [formerly family]
The psychiatric mental health practitioner's role is unique and on the cutting edge of mental health care. In Michigan, changes in the Michigan Mental Health Code have paved the way for new opportunities for psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners. The code specifically defines new responsibilities for advanced practice nurses employed in community mental health service programs. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners synthesize theoretical, scientific, and contemporary clinical knowledge and are capable of medical, pharmacological, and psychotherapeutic intervention in acute, crisis, and chronic persistent situations, as well as being skilled in disease prevention and health maintenance planning. Credentialed to practice independently, they value and seek ongoing consultative relationships with the psychiatrist and other mental health team members. Full utilization of psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners has the potential of extending mental health services in a cost-effective manner. Graduates will be qualified to sit for the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner certification examination.
Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP)
The adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner is designed to educate nurses who want to manage and improve outcomes for culturally diverse populations of acutely ill patients with complex and often chronic illnesses across the adult life span. With the passage of the national health care reform, the demand for qualified nurse practitioner graduates has dramatically increased. The ACNP will provide coordination and continuity of care for acute and chronic illness and guide transition back to the community and primary care providers. Graduates are qualified to sit for the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner certification examination.

AEM Mobile - GDPR Readiness
GDPR is used as an example in the sections below, but the details covered are applicable to all data protection and privacy regulations; such as GDPR, CCPA etc.
AEM Mobile GDPR Support
AEM Mobile is ready to assist customers with their GDPR compliance obligations. No personal data is stored in AEM Mobile. If you are provisioned, you can login to Adobe Experience Mobile with your Adobe ID.
Adobe Digital Publishing Suite
Adobe's digital publishing product (which precedes AEM Mobile) supports Adobe's GDPR readiness initiatives. Please see https://www.adobe.com/privacy/general-data-protection-regulation.html . The following will provide specifics on support for GDPR relevant functions in the Digital Publishing Suite product including how to work with Adobe to initiate GDPR requests.
To ensure you are not confusing AEM Mobile with the older Digital Publishing Suite product, you can login to the Digital Publishing Suite product here:
Initiating a GDPR request
Please contact Adobe Customer Care to initiate a GDPR request for the Digital Publishing Suite.
The following IDs are required to locate customer data. Any subset received will imply the other IDs were not applicable to this user.
- Customer's contract ID: dpsc-contractId
Provide at least 1 of the following:
- End user's customer provided OAuth ID (the ID that is used in the customer's direct entitlement system): dpsc-directEntitlementId
- For Windows app users, the end user's App Store ID: dpsc-windowsAppStoreId
- The email address the end user used to interact with the DPS App: email
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will Adobe delete my App Store purchases when initiating a DELETE request?
Adobe will delete information it has of App store purchases (subscriptions, etc.) but purchases will still be on record in the App stores. If the App (end-user) is logged into the App store, those receipts will be picked up again and sent to Adobe and subsequently, those will be considered as new purchases and will be restored by the App to have access again.
Will Adobe delete customer provided entitlements when initiating a DELETE request?
Adobe will delete information it has of the customer's additional direct entitlement allowances. If the App (end-user) logs in to the OAuth mechanism that the customer has used, it will send information to Adobe and the services will pick up the extra entitlements again.
What is expected of the end-user?
Since the key of assigning entitlements to the App resides on the device as part of the viewer software, the end-user should uninstall the App. The end-user should realize that if they reinstall the App, then existing purchases (associated with the App store user) and direct entitlement allowances (associated with the OAuth user of the customer) will still be restored.
What happens when an app is shared between people on a device?
Adobe has very little information that associates directly back to a specific user. It associates the data using a randomly created UUID that is held in the App's data and is passed in every request the App initiates. This means that end-users sharing the App on the same device will use the same UUID and all the data will be considered owned by the person making the GDPR request. For both Access and Delete requests, DPSC will consider people that share an App as one person.
What Personal Data is tracked with Analytics?
None. There is data being tracked, but it is at the App level (not personal). This includes events like launches, crashes, close, activities, purchases or folio overlays. Geographical locations, names, device IDs or IP addresses are not tracked.
The end user provided their information but nothing was found. Why not?
As the Digital Publishing Suite product evolved, service implementations were changed and more data was obfuscated. If no data was found using the user's provided data, it means that the user's data cannot be tracked back to that person.
Please contact Adobe Customer Care to initiate a GDPR request.

Kaleidescape Ships Blu-ray Server
Kaleidescape's first-ever Blu-ray movie server has begun shipping, the company announced Monday.
"The simplicity and elegance that we have achieved for watching Blu-ray movies required significant hardware and software innovation, legal analysis and user interface design," Michael Malcolm, Kaleidescape's founder, chairman and CEO, said as part of the announcement.
"My family and I enjoy the freedom to jump to a favorite scene in a movie or to any song in a concert. For the first time, all of our Blu-ray movies are literally at our fingertips, at any screen in our home."
The company's Modular Disc Vault retails for $1,495. It works with the M300 and M500 players, which began shipping earlier this year.

Critical Race Theory
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education. Please check back later for the full article.
Race has historically been, and continues to be, a significant issue in all aspects of American society. In the field of education, racial inequality is prominent in the areas of access, opportunity, and outcomes. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a framework that offers researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers a race-conscious approach to understanding educational inequality and structural racism to find solutions that lead to greater justice. Placing race at the center of analysis, Critical Race Theory scholars interrogate policies and practices that are taken for granted to uncover the overt and covert ways that racist ideologies, structures, and institutions create and maintain racial inequality.
In the field of education, CRT is a helpful tool for analyzing policy issues such as school funding, segregation, language policies, discipline policies, and testing and accountability policies. It is also helpful for critically examining the larger issues of epistemology and knowledge production, which are reflected in curriculum and pedagogy. As education is one of the major institutions of knowledge production and dissemination, CRT scholars often push the field to critically examine the master or dominant narratives reproduced in schools and the counter-narratives that are silenced. CRT is a theoretical framework that provides education researchers, policy makers, and practitioners with critical lenses to deconstruct oppressive policies and practices and to construct more emancipatory systems for racial equity and justice.
