"Has anyone ever died in this house?" was the first question I was asked by one realtor whose clients had viewed one of my listings and liked it. Within the same week, a prospective buyer refused to enter a house because it was diagonally across the street from an 18th century cemetery, even though she had liked the listing tremendously online.
Such questions and concerns fall under the category in real estate of stigmatized properties that, by loose definition, can be the site of a murder or suicide, criminal activity or even a resident ghost.
I don't know why I was initially surprised by these situations, considering my own case history. My wife and I purchased our first home from a friend in Brooklyn Heights. Our upstairs tenants were a wonderful, cultivated couple, both artists, he a designer for the New York Times and she, a filmmaker. Her official introduction to me the day we moved in was to ask whether the former owner told us that the house was haunted. I simply laughed. Within a short time, I was not laughing about the matter, with clear evidence that paranormal activity was taking place on the premises (but that's gristle for another story, not necessarily involved with real estate).
While there is great debate about how a stigma can decrease a property's value, actually, this one helped us. We had opened an antiques shop on the first floor of the house, and The New York Times favored us with a half-page story about a daring young couple who rustled up their deferred down payment for the house by selling off their collection of antiques in the shop and, by the way, the house was reputedly haunted. The next day, people were lined up to get into our little shop, perhaps due in part to the reported stigma.
About 30 states across the country, including New York, have specific laws stating that sellers and their real estate agents cannot be held liable for not disclosing such nonmaterial or nonphysical defects about a house. This scenario was tested some years ago in a notorious case where a Poughkeepsie homeowner had committed a series of murders and buried the bodies in his basement. The subsequent buyer of the house attempted to sue the realtor for not being informed of this.
Disclosing information about a stigmatized house depends on many factors, mostly on state laws and circumstances surrounding the perceived stigmatization. Sellers and real estate agents in New York and other states are not required to disclose deaths or hauntings, although most will do so if the prospective buyer asks. However, Connecticut's "Ghostbusters law" requires agents to inform buyers in writing of homicides, suicides, and other felonies if requested to do so by the buyer.
As far as actual physical defects are concerned, in 2002, New York State enacted the Property Condition Disclosure Act that requires sellers to inform buyers of known conditions of the property before the contract is signed. However, there is an option, which most lawyers recommend, that the seller decline submitting the form, but instead transfer $500 to the buyer at the time of closing.
While disclosure laws cover a lot of territory, from legal considerations, agents in most states notify buyers that they must do their own research about such matters as the quality of the local school system or if there are registered sex offenders in the neighborhood.
Effects of so-called stigmatization have varied among subsequent homeowners. The house in which the Charles Manson murders took place in 1969 had a successful sales history after the fact. The house had been rented from a landlord who moved back in just three weeks after the murders and lived there happily for the next 20 years. When the house was offered for sale after that period, it sold in two weeks.
However, according to appraisers who specialize in such homes, highly stigmatizing events can cut as much as 15 percent to 25 percent from the price a home would otherwise fetch. The largest markdowns, they say, are associated with explosive cases that receive broad media attention, such as the "Amityville Horror" house, where the homebuyers claim to have experienced terrible paranormal phenomenon after moving in. Another case is the property at which Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered. In that case, the house was on the market for two years after the murders and sold for $200,000 less than what Nicole had paid for it.
Because my home was built in 1734 when people were more likely to die at home, I suspect that there have been many kind, gentle folks who died peaceful deaths in this lovely place, with their families around them.
I plan to place my property on the market next month and if asked if anyone has ever died in the house, I can answer confidently that I don't know for sure, but given its age and history, I suspect so.

Crusaders Win Season Opener in Style
Friday, August 25, 2006Freshman Steve Shively's (Indianapolis, Ind./North Central) first career goal was a match-winner, giving the Crusaders a season-opening win for just the second time in the last 16 years, and leading Valpo to a 2-0 win over DePaul Friday night at Eastgate Field.
The Brown and Gold last won a season opener in 2001 after dropping the first nine under Head Coach Mis' Mrak. But Valpo reversed the trend Friday, picking up right where the 2005 team left off, with a shutout. Last season, the Crusaders set a school record by posting six shutouts.
Shively's winning goal came in only the ninth minute, when Paul Leitlet (Munster, Ind./Munster) found Jon Brighton (Warner Robins, Ga./Houston County) on the wing and Brighton played a perfect cross into the box for the freshman. Shively, who drew a starting assignment in his collegiate debut, scored on the first, and so far only, shot of his career.
The Crusaders struck again the 54th minute when Tyler Pagano (Mundelein, Ill./Mundelein) bluffed on a free kick from just outside the box and Leitelt snuck in from behind to power the ball past DePaul keeper Brian Visser. Leitelt, just a sophomore, now has five career goals, the third highest total among all active Crusaders.
Another freshman, Ryan Schwarz (Rockford, Ill./Boylan Catholic), played all 90 minutes between the pipes, earning the victory, and made four saves for the first shutout of his young career.
The Blue Demons (0-1-0) out-shot Valpo 18-9, but put only four of their 18 shots on goal and lost on the road for the 21st straight match. Visser made two saves and took the defeat in goal.
Valpo (1-0-0) will be back in action on Sunday in the first half of a Crusader soccer doubleheader. The men will take on Evansville at 12:30 p.m. at Eastgate Field, and the women will follow with a 3:00 p.m. match against Loyola (Chicago). Both contests can be heard live on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

No. 2 Louisville had its final tuneup of the season Wednesday as a crowd of 20,422 watched the Cardinals turn back Division II No.8 Bellarmine 65-46 at the KFC Yum! Center.
Louisville ended the first half with a 17-5 run to lead 32-15 at halftime. The Cardinals were never threatened in the second half, although some statistics would tell otherwise.
Louisville held its modest lead despite the Knights hitting only 19 percent (6-of-31) of their field goal attempts before halftime. The Knights improved slightly after halftime finishing at 16-of 60 for 26 percent.
The Cardinals faired somewhat better from the floor — finishing at 26-of- 55 for 47 percent, but included in that total was a 1-of-19 mark from three-point range. Louisville could only convert only 12-of-23 from the free throw line and was outrebounded by the smaller Knights 43-38, and that was with the Cardinals closing the gap near game's end.
"This game was more difficult than our last because basically you're just chasing around five guards," Louisville coach Rick Pitino said. "It takes a lot out of you, but from a defensive practice standpoint, it was great.
"And as far as our poor shooti ng, I believe it was a combination of us rushing things and being tired from chasing them around."
Freshman Montrezl Harrell led Louisville with 16 points. Center Gorgui Dieng added 14 points and 12 rebounds while Russ Smith had 11 points.
Bellarmine coach S cott Davenport, who served as an assistant coach at Louisville under both Pitino and Denny Crum, sounded like anything other than a coach who had suffered a 20 point loss.
"I've never been more proud of a team that shot 27 percent," he said. " We had good looks, but they are so long. They get on you.
"And you don't have this atmosphere every night. There are 311 teams in Division II, 310 of them would have liked to have been playing here tonight. You look at their lineup and figure you have to dea l with Gorgui and Harrell. You do — but it's that three-headed monster of (Peyton) Siva, (Luke) Hancock and Russ Smth."
Chris Dowe led Bellarmine with 19 points and 11 rebounds. Vance Hall added 13 points.
"I talked to Coach Pitino yesterday and we agreed that we were going to make this a fun game," Davenport said. "This town and community is very lucky to have these two teams to support them."
Louisville will open its regular season on Sunday as it hosts Manhattan, which is coached by another former Pitino assistant, Steve Masiello. The Knights will open the regular season next Thursday when they host Wayne State.
"We're going to know Sunday how good we are," Pitino said. "All of our games are on TV up there. They will expose any weaknesses we have. We'll have a much better taste of how we play."
Former Clarksville star Billy Edelen is a freshman guard for the Knights. Edelen has yet to see action for the Knights against either Louisville or in the Knights' 86-51 loss at Cincinnati on Saturday.

The Orange Leader
Orange County almost had to start over with the budget.
The vote to approve the budget and the tax rate were 3-2. Commissioner Pct. 3 John Banken and Commissioner Pct. 4 Jody Crump voted no during the Monday meeting.
County Judge Carl Thibodeaux polled the vote for the adoption of ad valorem tax rates as required by the State starting with Crump.
"I sure hope we have another yes," Thibodeaux said after hearing the two no votes. "Or we have to start all over from the beginning."
The budget showing a $3.165 million deficit is the first time the county adopted a deficit budget according to Thibodeaux.
"It is the first time since I have been here that it has happened," Thibodeaux said.
County Auditor Mary Johnson said the court adopted a deficit budget last year according to a previously published Orange Leader article.
The county made an eleventh hour attempt to trimming the budget by sending an e-mail on Friday to the department heads to make a 10% cut to anywhere in the departments budget. The department heads had four and a half hours to notify the auditor of where the cuts need to be taken. If the department head did not respond by the deadline it was taken from the largest line item in that departments budget.
For the Orange County Sheriff's Office, the line item slashed by 10% is fuel and gas.
"There is not going to be enough money if it is left that way," Orange County Sheriff Keith Merritt said during the public hearing prior to the 2 p.m. meeting Monday.
Merritt said he was not able to respond by the deadline due to being out on a case during that time.
Johnson said a line item transfer could be done at a later date as needed.
"There is not another line item to take it from," Merritt said. "The budget is already short."
Banken said that all Capital Expenditures must come before the court for approval.
The court will also work on a plan to reduce expenditures between Oct. 1 and Jan. 1, 2014.
Jerry Wilson, a citizen of Orange County, suggested the county eliminate constables.
"For 16 years I have harped to cut constables," Wilson said.
Another citizen suggested the court cut it's own budget to save money.

Paul Dallenbach, multiple champion at Pikes Peak, is in good condition following a crash into the forest early into his attempt at the Pikes Peak international Hill Climb on Sunday. The team released a statement on Monday.
The Dallenbach team's car was powered by a naturally aspirated engine that was upgraded with a Banks Sidewinder Twin Turbo package purchased before last year's race, and it was said be able to produce 1,400 hp. Dallenbach, however, went off the road during the run and into a clump of trees before posting a finishing time.
Dallenbach's car cut down a number of trees before the destroyed race car came to rest. The driver's safety cage remained in tact.
Gale Banks quipped, "The mountain won today! In my opinion, Paul Dallenbach is the best on the mountain. Team owner Leonard Arnold brings decades of experience and wisdom to the crew, and those guys never let up, improving the car the entire week. Pikes Peak is the most challenging and dangerous place I have ever raced, and Paul Dallenbach [is] the bravest [driver]."

CORNEILUS, N.C. -- Charlotte Mecklenburg middle school students are being asked to bring their smartphones and iPads to school.
No, not to play video games, but to learn. It's part of the system's B.Y.O.T. pilot program or Bring Your Own Technology to School.
"It's really fun," said seventh grader Ali Worland from Bailey Middle School in Corneilus. "Because we only had two computers in here and we'd have to take turns, and it took forever," she said.
One of the teachers using B.Y.O.T. at Bailey Middle calls it a huge success.
"One of the biggest things I've been able to see, is that it's motivational," said Sean Hannum, who teaches science and math at the middle school.
"It's s not just throwing them iPads and saying 'do whatever you want to do.' You give them the criteria and a little bit of direction and even students who wouldn't normally do something in class, they're motivated to do something on here," he said.
Right now the students in seventh grade are learning about the skeletal system. They made diagrams, posted music and quizzed each other.
NBC Charlotte also learned how B.Y.O.T. can be adapted at home as well.
"Think of it as a teacher in your pocket," said Hannum. He suggested websites like Khan Academy, Discovery Ed, Voki and Glogster. It's all part of a push for students to one day be go paperless.
"It's the new ay to learn, " said Emma Gonzalez. "It's a lot better, easier, fun and faster."

Our family, three young adults, my wife and I, spent 8 days in the New Year 2013-2014 at La Casa Buena Vista. What a wonderful, peaceful, great place to be. La Casa commands a panoramic, fantastic view from the hill top. Whether at sunrise, sunset or during the dark night sky full of stars, the terrace is best place to be. Penny and Jay are great hosts and nice people. Penny made us a daily quick visit to check on our needs and make sure we were comfortable. She gave us suggestions of where to go and what to see. Penny is a pleasant person. Jay has a collection of surf boards in the house. In addition to rent them to us for a reasonable weekly price, he took the time to advise some of us, surfing novices, of the best boards and beaches to go surfing. Surfing was great and we all had one of the best New Year in a long time. My wife and I have in our minds to return to Casa Buena Vista in the future and we are recommending it with no reservations to our friends.
Jay has a lovely space! We were in the Honeymoon room and it was the perfect place to spend two relaxing evenings. I would recommend anyone stay here who wants to experience the beach but also have some solitude while staying in nature.
It was a great experience and a beautiful place to stay. It was nice to be a little secluded within the rainforest and still just a walk away from the town and beaches. We could have used a little more kitchen supplies since we tried to cook as often as we could. We were not famiar with the climate and were not able to get anything dry. We could have used a little help with a dryer or suggestions. Jay was around often to see if we needed anything. We enjoyed the surfing trip and appreciated the trip to the grocery store.
The apartment is great with large spacious rooms and a full kitchen, bathrooms off each bedroom and one bedroom has a walk in closet. Being situated on top of the mountain gives the deck an almost constant breeze, which is great in the hot and dry climate of Guanacaste. The plunge pool is wonderful for a cooling dip. My favorite place was the small hut on top of the house with a hammock and a 360 degree view.
The many stairs on the long staircase could be a serious problem for someone with issues of legs or knees.
Also, there is a serious water issue in the end of the dry season, we lacked water for 4 days during our stay.
Costa Rica is a very mountainous country with steep roads, and the roads in this area are horrendous with a lot of serious dust in the dry season - the road visibility can be as serious as the foot deep potholes. You definitely need a 4X4 vehicle.

Four men with ties to the Inland Empire used Facebook, Skype, aliases and codewords in their alleged plot to join Al-Qai'da and the Taliban in Afghanistan in order to kill, among others, American targets, according to a 77-page complaint authored by an FBI special agent based in Riverside.
Details that emerge from the complaint include the young men's eagerness to practice shooting firearms, talk of hiking to prepare for terrain overseas, and visits to a Corona paintball facility for more "training" for jihad - violent combat.
Asked how it would feel to kill someone in jihad, one of the defendants, from Ontario, allegedly said he "wouldn't have a problem if it's, it's for Allah."
The defendant from Upland also said he would not have a problem with it and added "The more I think about it the more it excites me," according to the complaint.
The FBI relied on a confidential informant and covert online employees to build their case against the defendants, who were identified Monday as:
• Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, a former resident of Pomona and naturalized United States citizen, born in Afghanistan.
• Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario, a lawful permanent resident alien, born in the Philippines.
• Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, 21, of Upland, a lawful permanent resident, born in Mexico and whose application for citizenship is pending in the United States.
• Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Riverside, a United States citizen.
Santana, Deleon and Gojali were apprehended Friday Nov. 16 by Joint Terrorism Task Force personnel and made their initial appearance Nov. 19 in U.S. District Court in Riverside, according to the FBI. Kabir was in custody in Afghanistan.
The complaint detailing the defendants' alleged plot was authored by Special Agent N.T. Elias, a member of the Riverside Joint Terrorism Task Force. A pdf copy of the complaint is attached to this report.
According to the complaint, beginning in August 2010, the defendants began conspiring to provide material support and resources in preparation for carrying out crimes of terrorism including conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim or injure people, including U.S. military personnel in foreign countries, and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction, and bombing public places and facilities.
Kabir influenced Santana and Deleon to convert to Islam in 2010 and introduced them to radical and violent Islamic doctrine, according to the complaint.
Kabir directed them to materials featuring influential Anwar Al-Awlaqi, Al-Qai'da of the Arabian Peninsula spokesman, and continued posting radical content to social media sites, according to the complaint.
In December 2011 Kabir left the U.S. for Germany, then traveled to Afghanistan in July 2012, according to the complaint. Once in Afghanistan, Kabir communicated with Santana and Deleon online and urged them to come join him. He informed them he had arranged for their arrival, and once they were in Afghanistan they would first join "the students" - the Taliban - and then "the professors" - Al-Qai'da.
Meanwhile in Southern California, Santana and Deleon told an FBI informant they intended to go to Afghanistan and "engage in violent jihad and that they had planned to do so since the time Kabir converted them to Islam," the complaint states.
Santana and Deleon told the informant about their preferred roles: Santana said he had experience with firearms, including AK-47s, and he wanted to become a sniper, according to the complaint.
Deleon said be wanted to "be on the front lines and that his second choice would be explosives," the complaint states.
July 11, 2012, the informant took Santana to the Mexican Consulate in San Bernardino to update his passport and Santana said he'd used Skype to speak with Kabir three days earlier, according to the complaint.
On July 18, Santana, Deleon and the informant met at Deleon's home. The informant asked them if they had thought about how it would feel to kill someone, according to the complaint.
Deleon allegedly said he "wouldn't have a problem if it's, it's for Allah."
Santana said he would not have a problem with it and "The more I think about it the more it excites me," according to the complaint.
On Aug. 8, Deleon told the informant about a recent Skype session with Santana and Kabir. Kabir appeared to be with a sheikh or imam and said he was living in Kabul, Afghansitan, near a mosque. Kabir told Deleon and Santana they should come to Afghanistan at any time and "the brothers would take care of everything," according to the complaint.
On Sept. 18, the men met with the informant again and discussed their plans to go to Afghanistan, according to the complaint. Kabir had suggested the night before during a Skype session they travel from Mexico to Germany to the United Arab Emirates to Afghanistan.
Deleon said they needed to start hiking to get used to the terrain they would encounter overseas, according to the complaint. Deleon said he was planning to go skydiving to learn how his body reacts to fear. Deleon also said he wanted to return to a paintball facility he had visited recently, because it would be good training for violent jihad.
On Sept. 20, Deleon, Santana and the informant visited a shooting range in the Los Angeles area. As they were driving away from the range, the informant asked about their conversion and "what techniques" Kabir used "to get you and to become a Muslim and leave all, you know, leave all this . . . to become a future, ya know, or potential mujahid," the complaint states.
Deleon said when he first met Kabir all he talked about was truth and religion, and he was "basically a mujahid walking the streets of LA. He was just waiting to get his papers. And I met him at the point of his life where he was about to go. He was already a mujahideen walking around," the complaint states.
On Sept. 23, Deleon, Santana, Gojali, the informant and other unidentified individuals went to a paintball facility in Corona. They rented paintball guns that resembled assault rifles, and Santana said "he chose that type of weapon so he could get used to the weight," the complaint states.
In anticipation for their trip overseas, Deleon and Santana deleted everything associated with Islam from their Facebook accounts. Deleon told the informant he and Santana had a cover story for their travel - that they were going to Dubai to work in the cologne import-export business, according to the complaint.
On Oct. 17, Deleon listed his car for sale on Craigslist, stating "Getting rid of it because I'm leaving the country (A.S.A.P.) Need money fast," the complaint states.
On Oct. 27, Western Union records showed Deleon wired $200 from Ontario to Kabir in Kabul, Afghanistan, according to the complaint.
On Nov. 15, Deleon went online to purchase airline tickets for himself, Santana, Gojali and the informant to fly from Mexico City to Istanbul on Nov. 18.
Based on the evidence, the FBI believed there was probable cause to charge Kabir, Deleon, Santana and Gojali with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2339A, knowing or intending that such support was to be used in preparation for or in carrying out:
- conspiracy to kill, kidnap, maim, or injure persons and damage property in a foreign country, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 956;
- killing and attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1114;
- killing nationals of the United States, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2332(b);
- conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction outside the United States, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2332a(b); and
- bombing places of public use and government facilities, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 2332f.
Santana and Deleon were remanded to federal custody Monday and Gojali's detention hearing was continued to Monday Nov. 26. If convicted, the defendants face a maximum of 15 years in federal prison, according to the FBI.
The case is a continuing investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Riverside, which includes personnel from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department, Riverside Police, San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, Beaumont Police, Ontario Police, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement – Homeland Security Investigations, the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI.
The case will be prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office for the Central District of California, with assistance from the Counterterrorism Section of the Justice Department's National Security Division.

Alumni Days at Shakespeare, June 2014.
Mvemba Phezo Dizolele ('94, Political Science and French) is a W. Glenn Campbell and Rita Ricardo-Campbell National Fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. He has been an international business advisor, radio broadcaster, columnist and foreign policy analyst, which has allowed him to bring a distinctive perspective to African economic and political development.
Prior to Stanford, Mvemba was Vice President for Business Development at GoodWorks International, LLC, a global advisory firm in Washington, D.C. While there, he initiated new public-private partnerships between African State-owned enterprises and U.S. companies.
As a fellow at the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, Mvemba covered the 2006 historic elections in the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was also embedded with United Nations peacekeepers in the war-torn Ituri and South Kivu regions.
He was a policy analyst at the Center for Global Development and managed the Millennium Challenge Account Monitor. While serving as a global analyst at Thomson Financial Institutional Shareholder Services, he advised U.S. and British fund managers on investment transactions that included the $2.5 billion Norsk Hydro-Saga merger and ISS International's $417 million share issuance.
He earned an MBA from the University of Chicago, served eight years in the Marine Corps and speaks English, French, Norwegian, Spanish, Swahili, Kikongo and Lingala, and is proficient in Swedish and Danish.
For Mvemba, SUU was his first home in the U.S. and he still considers it as such. "I enjoyed the fellowship I received from the faculty and student communities. SUU professors Rodney Decker, Craig Jones, Michael Stathis, Jim Harrison and Jim Mills all had a profound impact on my education. They laid a foundation of how I came to look at things in my world and how I analyzed my political thought. I still remember those classes."

6 Résumé Writing Tips for Business School Grads
Follow these rules to ensure your résumé makes an impression and helps you land a job.
A business school graduate's magnum opus isn't a thesis; it's a résumé. This is particularly true since advancing a career is a major reason to commit to additional education, especially for those hoping to enter into a profession—such as accountant, financial adviser, or Web developer—where having a master's degree in business administration would be beneficial.
If you're nearing your degree's completion and beginning the job hunt, then it's imperative to perfect the document that best sells and summarizes your professional qualifications. Career experts offer these six résumé-writing tips for you:
1. Use STAR as a formatting guide: When you commit pen to paper, think of your experiences in terms of Situations, Tasks, Actions, and Results. This system, better known as the STAR résumé format, tends to work well for business school graduates if used properly. "It's a good model to use for planning the content to include in your résumé," says August Cohen, an award-winning résumé writer and founder of the career management company Get Hired Stay Hired. "But when you start writing, you should condense that information and only focus on the highlights."
Bradley Aspel, a director at the Career Management Center at Columbia University's Business School, recommends STAR for a different reason. "We suggest our students use the STAR format more for interviews—when responding to questions such as, 'Tell me about a time you led a team,'" he says. Both Aspel and Cohen suggest you stress what was accomplished, rather than your methods."We host many events throughout the year. ... and at one such event recently a recruiter said when speaking about résumés, 'Show me the baby, not the labor,'" Aspel recalls.
[Read how M.B.A. hiring continues to grow.]
2. Stick to one page: Some struggle with résumé length, but a young graduate should adhere to one page. "The average age of our student body is 28, so with four to six years of work experience, it's not necessary to go beyond one page to get across the key information," Aspel advises. Older students have more leeway to fill two pages.
Plus, "there doesn't need to be a different format based on career paths, but the skills highlighted should be customized based on the career path you're targeting," says Wendy Tsung, associate dean and executive director of M.B.A. Career Services for Emory University's Goizueta Business School. Cohen recommends you weave keywords from a particular job's description. "Pull out the skill set you have that matches what the employer needs, and then include it," she says.
3. Ditch the objective: "It's clear when you are graduating from an M.B.A. program you are looking for a position which can utilize those skills," says Tsung when asked about using an objective. According to Cohen, "the most valuable part of the résumé is the top and left-hand side," so you don't want to waste that valuable space with content that won't be read. "Go with something that's going to wow the employer," she says.

4. Place your education background where it best serves you: If you're a strong student at a well-respected program, then your pedigree might be that lead to use to "wow the employer." Representatives from top business schools certainly vouch for placing it below that leading summary statement. "We feel the Columbia M.B.A. brand is extremely strong, and there is much to be gained by placing it prominently on the résumé," Aspel says.
"If I were a so-so student, I'd put [my education] on the bottom of the page, or perhaps in the middle of the page," Cohen says. "I'd want an employer to be impressed right off the bat." Emphasis on your education should also decrease as you age. "We recommend to our alums to move their education to the bottom ... because their most recent work experience is more relevant for their next role," Tsung notes.
[See the 10 M.B.A.'s with the most financial value at graduation.]
5. Don't improvise: Being one amidst a sea of candidates might compel an anxious recruit to get creative. But experts like Cohen say, "You have to learn to follow the rules before you break them. Don't send a PDF résumé when you were asked for a Word document." She adds: "Make it easy on the company to like you; don't put road blocks in the way. If a student has manners and follows instructions, they will be far ahead of the average student that's graduating."

Rachel's Challenge comes full circle at Sultan High School. The school introduced the program four years ago but the seniors, the last class to experience Rachel's Challenge, wanted to make sure the tradition continued.
So they held two assemblies Monday, hoping to keep the kindness going.
"I really hope that it continues like the presentation says. I hope it's a chain reaction. I hope that kids here will realize that they can be nice, they can be kind, and it will start a chain reaction," said Dylan Rousseau_Sultan High School Senior.

Yes. I did the firmware update to my Pioneer AVH-P2400BT and have updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6.1.
Everything still functions as expected.
The 6.1 update failed during installation and ended up requiring a full restore which took all night. But everything's good.

Using iOS 6.1, I followed Pioneer's instructions to the letter, except they required Windows 7 for the file transfer and I was able to do it with Mountain Lion instead. It worked for me.
I also made sure that I deleted my Bluetooth profiles on the Pioneer stereo and the the Pioneer profile on my phone prior to starting.
I just want to confirm that you are in fact using iOS 6.1 and not 6.01 (the previous version, I guess there was a 6.02 as well that my phone (4S) never got flagged for) before I update my phone from 6.01 (which now works perfectly with my Pioneer AVH-P4400B head unit after applying the European fix) to 6.1 which was just released a day or two ago.

I did the Euro update a few weeks ago. Everything worked under 6.01. Today I updated to 6.1 with no problems. BTW I used an iMac running Mountain Lion to update. It looks like the Euro update is the same as the North American one, same ver#.

I did although I was quite nervous to update to 6.1 after following this thread ever since I purchased the AVH-2400BT. Everything still works fine. Kudos to Pioneer for fixing this problem. I did the first update because I am impatient and was tired of using the Android phone I bought to get around this problem.

Yes I can at least confirmed that my iPhone4S is running iOS6.1 (10B142) and all the Bluetooth functions are working correctly after applying Pioneer Firmware Update to my AVH-2400BT headunit.
819. Re: bluetooth music issues after iOS6 updaterustykerr123 Jan 31, 2013 6:59 AM in response to deepcover
Same here, I have iOS 6.1 updated the firmware on my AVH-4400BH, I did not have access to a windows 7 machine at home, so I had to use Mountian Lion, I believe it will work with any OS, they just tried on windows 7 and will only answer question with windows 7. I noticed there is now a track number, I am not sure if that was there before, I only got to use the stereo for 1 day before iOS 6 messed the bluetooth functions up.
Nice to have it all back, but I started to like using pandora instead, my drive is long enough that it has a full charge when I get to work, so I do my daily charge in the car while listening to music.

I was able to update using a windows 7 laptop with a bluetooth adapter. Just followed the directons from pioneer. All info is being displayed for Pandora and iPod funtcions using bluetooth.
822. Re: bluetooth music issues after iOS6 updatesmolz Feb 1, 2013 6:46 AM in response to nikB123
I tried last night to update the firmware and got "insufficient resources". The Bluetooth Version Update section is grayed out as well. Am I SOL?
Why isn't there a USB update available? That would have been so much easier.
823. Re: bluetooth music issues after iOS6 updaterustykerr123 Feb 1, 2013 6:51 AM in response to smolz
When the bluetooth options in system are grayed out, that is saying it is in use, disconnect your devices and turn off your sources, wait a second then go into system and try again, if that did not work press home then try to go into system again, sometimes you can be too quick.
For the insufficient resources, that sounds like that might be something happening on your computer, if so, try restarting and attempting again. If it is saying that on your head unit, then I have no idea what that means.
824. Re: bluetooth music issues after iOS6 updatesmolz Feb 1, 2013 7:18 AM in response to rustykerr123
I just called Pioneer and they told me the same thing, reboot and try again.
It's is the computer that is giving me the error. I also tried to use OBEX Commander to do the file transfer and it tells me the "database is full" 1/2 way through.
I will try again. Thanks!

Special to the Record-Eagle
TRAVERSE CITY — From owl pellets to ecosystems, investigation to invasive species, area students are transcending classroom walls.
Thanks in part to the Grand Traverse Stewardship Initiative, their teachers are integrating lessons across subjects while challenging students and facilitating learning.
This year, the initiative includes 39 teachers on 13 teams from 11 area schools, all working on watershed stewardship projects with their students. Nearly all of the teachers plus 15 community partners will gather Tuesday for the annual Grand Traverse Stewardship Initiative Dinner & Dialogue event.
The event's goal is to discuss, network and learn about the various stewardship projects slated for this school year
"Teachers will be given an opportunity to present their project idea to an audience of teacher colleagues and community partners who will in turn, give feedback and suggestions to each team to assist with and contribute to the project's success," said Jenifer Strauss, the program's coordinator. Some teacher teams started stewardship projects last year and will present plans to expand their project goals for a greater community impact."
In the Elk Rapids Schools, one facet of the Grand Traverse Stewardship Initiative is geared to engaging the system's 113 sixth graders. The students will spend this school year studying and caring for the Maple Bay Natural Area and the Dam Beach. This means pulling invasive species and replacing it with dune grass, dissecting owl pellets, photographing and identifying bark and leaves and making a video of their experiences.
"This is our second year and we're just getting to realize all of the opportunities for learning," said Sarah Pierson, the district's Grand Traverse Stewardship Initiative teacher, teacher liaison and consultant. "We are truly trying to involve all the subject areas."
Launched in 2009 as an education program of the Grand Traverse Conservation District, the Grand Traverse Stewardship Initiative's mission is to boost freshwater stewardship in the region. The program works with cross-curricular teams of teachers at elementary, middle and high schools to support place-based education, nurture school-community partnerships and provide ongoing professional development to teachers.
It is an outgrowth of the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative, a statewide effort started in 2007 that features eight regional hubs, including the Grand Traverse program. The Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative is rooted in the Great Lakes Water Studies Institute at Northwestern Michigan College's 2004 outreach to teachers.
Known first as RIPPLE and then the DTE Freshwater Institute for Teachers, this effort brought placed-based education directly to classrooms.
Eight years and a few iterations later, teachers and classrooms remain the core of the vision to inspire a lifetime of freshwater stewardship.
"The GLSI is striving to become a catalyst for a grand realization that the children and teachers sitting in classrooms throughout Michigan are our very best hope for the future," said Treenen Sturman, executive director of the Grand Traverse Conservation District.
"The future we imagine will be very different from any past that any of us can recall ... this future will be built on a common appreciation for nature, culture and economy," he added. "Such a future requires schools to once again become the centers of our communities."
The 2012-2013 school year kicked off with a weeklong gathering in August where teachers worked on project proposals and grant applications. Reviewing the requests submitted at the end of September, the Grand Traverse Stewardship Initiative selected 13 $1,500 grants — a total of $19,500 disbursed.
Some projects include a yearlong study at Old Mission Elementary of the school's pond, which will allow students to be certified as Watershed Rangers. At Mill Creek Elementary School in Elk Rapids, students will examine native plants to understand nature's cycle of change. Students there will also install and monitor rain barrels and weather stations.
Traverse City East Middle School students will study and practice renewable energy, erosion control, storm water runoff, composting and vertical gardening.
"The Stewardship Initiative supports teachers and empowers students to find their voice and express their expertise in positive and impacting ways," said Strauss. "As a result, GTSI students are becoming informed citizens who care more deeply about choices that affect their futures."

Disney Does Immersive Gaming with a SHOWWX: Project MotionBeam
August 1st, 2011
by MicroVision Marketing
Check out this project. A little company by the name of Disney has been capturing quite a bit of attention with their new research project called MotionBeam, a gaming platform that utilizes MicroVision's PicoP technology to display images that are always in focus, even in constant motion, allowing gamers to break free from the fixed screen.
Recently, Disney Research group partnered with students from Carnegie Melon to create MotionBeam, which uses a MicroVision SHOWWX, an iPod touch and microcontroller-sensor unit so users can guide and interact with their characters, similar to MicroVision's own Sultan's Rings and Project Tuatara.
According to the MotionBeam site, "Developing new interfaces for handheld projectors opens up a range of possibilities for interactive experiences in both work and play." We agree, and it is great to see other companies demonstrating future possibilities with MicroVision technology.
Check out this video and let us know what you think:

This was a great base but I did make some changes...I used chicken broth instead of water, carrots instead of celery a little more sour cream and flour to make it thicker, a handful of grated cheese and I also added left over ham. I still garnished with a little bacon, cheese and green onion tops.
This recipie is a great base for potato soup. I added chives, cumin, tumeric, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and garlic salt to this recipie and it was great. I also substituted starch for flour. I find starch is actually easier to work with than flour and clumps less. I put grated taco cheese and green onion on top. It was great. I also find that you can fix a thin recipie by adding more corn starch. I had to add 2 more table spoon of starch to get the resipie to the thickness that I desired, but I expected that as I think I made more than the recipie called for. I read a few of the comments beforehand and frankly, you have to know how to cook to be able to use a recipie. Otherwise you are just practising and the recipie may turn out terrible, but after practice a recipie can be wonderful.
I tried this recipe for dinner. It did not turn out the way I thought it would. Instead of being white and creamy, it turned out brown and runny. The soup did not taste as "creamy" as I thought it would. I was really disappointed.

A 15 per cent larger sensor. Wider ƒ/2.2 aperture.2 True Tone flash. Burst mode and slo-mo video. The new 8-megapixel iSight camera packs in so much great technology, it's even easier to get a great shot.
iPhone 5s supports more networks than ever before. So now iPhone users can experience fast download speeds in even more places around the world.
iOS 7 takes full advantage of the advanced technologies built into iPhone — including the 64-bit A7 chip and Touch ID. And it introduces great new features like smarter multitasking, AirDrop and Control Centre.

In the United Kingdom, consumers are entitled to a free of charge repair or replacement, by the seller, of goods which do not conform with the contract of sale. Under English law, consumers have up to six years from the date of delivery to exercise their rights. However, various factors may impact your eligibility to receive these remedies. For details, click here.

Purchase AppleCare+ to get expert telephone technical support and up to two years of additional hardware coverage, including up to two incidents of accidental damage, each subject to an excess fee. For more information, click here.
iPhone 5s comes in three storage sizes: 16GB, 32GB and 64GB. The term "GB" stands for gigabytes. The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPhone — apps, games, photos, HD videos, music, films and more. For example, if you have a large music or photo library or you frequently download HD films, it's a good idea to consider an iPhone with a larger storage capacity. If you have a relatively small music or photo library or rarely make or buy films, an iPhone with a smaller capacity may be better for you. Of course, over time you will accumulate many things on your iPhone, so you'll want to think about how your storage needs may evolve.
Unlocked iPhone isn't tied to one network, so you have the freedom to choose any supported GSM network worldwide. Buy unlocked iPhone at the Apple Online Store, then find a SIM-only plan for iPhone. Or contact your existing carrier to continue with your current plan.
If you don't want a service plan, you can add a Pay as you go starter pack from one of the available carriers at the Apple Online Store. With Pay as you go, your iPhone arrives ready to use with a compatible SIM and no credit check is needed. You just pay online for what you use and you can change networks at any time. Pay as you go is a good option if you prefer to use a local network when travelling abroad.
Whether you are starting a new service contract, using your existing one or choosing Pay as you go, you need a compatible SIM. For iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s you need a nano-SIM card. For iPhone 4s you need a micro-SIM card. Contact your carrier for details.
iPhone 4s works with micro-SIM cards, and iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s work with nano-SIM cards from compatible carriers. iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s work on many LTE networks around the world; contact service providers for details.
Information on iPhone 5 support for LTE networks by carrier and country
If you choose Pay as you go when you buy a new iPhone from the Apple Online Store, it will arrive with a micro-SIM or nano-SIM pre-loaded with call minutes, texts and data. Or you can get a micro-SIM or nano-SIM card from any carrier offering iPhone plans.
Yes, you do. When you buy iPhone from the Apple Online Store, it is sold unlocked. You can contact a carrier directly to learn about the tariffs available for iPhone.
Buying a SIM-free iPhone from the Apple Online Store allows you to choose your own carrier and change carriers at any time. iPhone may also be available at a lower price with a contract directly from your wireless carrier.
iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s use the Lightning connector, which is different from the 30-pin connector on iPhone 4 and iPhone 4s. You can purchase a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter for use with Made for iPhone accessories, except those requiring video output. Visit the iPhone Accessories section of the Apple Online Store to find out more about accessory compatibility with different iPhone models.
While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.
Yes. You can share the fast connection on your iPhone with your Mac or PC, and connect to the Internet from just about anywhere — no Wi-Fi required. Contact your carrier for details.
No. Your iPhone 4s, iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s SIM card is not interchangeable with the SIM card in your iPad.
The majority of features will work with your network. Certain features such as Visual Voicemail require carrier support and may not function on your carrier's network. Contact your carrier for more details or read the wireless carrier support and features article for more information.
Carriers typically sell the iPhone with a contract that subsidises the initial purchase price of the phone. By purchasing your iPhone without a contract, you can use any SIM card from a compatible carrier, including your current one.
Yes. iPhone is enabled to work on networks using GSM around the world. Because the iPhone sold by the Apple Online Store is unlocked, you can purchase a SIM card and service from a local carrier at your destination. Or check with your home carrier regarding international roaming charges.

- Combine the onion, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, thyme, sesame oil, garlic, allspice and habanero pepper in the container of a food processor or blender. Process until smooth. Place the chicken into a large resealable bag, and pour in 3/4 of the sauce. Squeeze out excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
- Preheat your oven's broiler.
- Remove chicken from bag, and discard marinade. Broil chicken for 10 to 15 minutes, turning once to ensure even cooking. Heat remaining sauce in a small pan, and pour over chicken when serving.

OK, so maybe I am merely a novice in the kitchen, but here I am preparing this dish (it's marinating as we speak) and my hands start burning. How was I supposed to know not to touch the pepper with my hands? Apparently (now that I have researched the Habenero peppers online) you are not supposed to touch these peppers with your bare hands (i.e., you are supposed to wear rubber gloves) and you must wash the cutting board and knives to prevent the spreading of this capsaicin in the pepper which can burn your skin upon contact. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECIPE DIRECTIONS!! Some sort of 'handling instructions or warning' and what to do if you happen to come into contact with this capsaicin. I am so disappointed, I am ready to dump the dish and start something else for dinner.
Aspiring Chef Rita
If you haven't eaten jerk chicken this is a good recipe but there are better ones out there. The ones I've used have these ingrediants and a lot more, like orange juice, white wine vingar in addition to the red wine, scallions, ginger, etc. If you like this recipe, then look around for others and sample the differences. Once you come up with a great jerk sauce, you can use it on chicken, beef, pork, etc.
This didn't turn out for me. It didn't look anything like the picture either. Although my husband and son liked it, I didn't care much for it. I may try again, but grill instead of broil. **Update to my first review. I am now giving this 5 stars. I made some mistakes the first time I made this, so when its prepared correct it's delicious. The one thing I keep forgetting to do is hold out part of the marinade to pour over after cooking, but even without it the flavor is great. We also grilled it this time instead of broiling and it is definitely better cooked on the grill.

A set visit to LAIKA's "The Box Trolls."
Back in 1993, what was astonishing in "Jurassic Park" were the special effects that seemed to bring dinosaurs back to life. Two decades later, rediscovering Steven Spielberg's mastery of cinematic storytelling is the best reason to go see it again.
It is back in theaters with the best 3-D conversion I've seen, avoiding the cheesy Viewmaster effect too often the result of retrofitted 3-D. Other than a few shots where the foreground is blurred, the effects are immersive and organic, and the dinosaurs-jumping-toward-you moments are sparing and effective.
My favorite moment has always been when the characters in a Jeep are trying to outrace the charging T-rex. All of a sudden, we see a toothy dinosaur coming at them fast and angry in the side-view mirror. It takes a moment for the words to register: "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." Spielberg has found a way to make us laugh and ramp up the tension. And it is even more compelling in 3-D.
The film holds up remarkably well, other than the computers and walkie-talkies, which will seem to today's audiences almost as prehistoric as the paleolithic creatures. But its then-state-of-the-art special effects, a combination of mechanical creations and computer images, are still as believable as the high-techiest creatures onscreen today.
Spielberg has gone on to weightier and more prestigious projects, but this thrill ride is one of his best and a masterpiece of the genre. It shows his unparalleled gifts for pacing and for the visual language of movies, and his ability to make us invest in the characters. That is what makes all the special effects pack an emotional wallop. He conveys more with ripples in a glass of water than most filmmakers can with 15 pages of dialogue.
The story, based on a book by the late Michael Crichton, begins with hubris, the sin of pride so great that a man places himself with the gods and thus sets the stage for his downfall. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) dreams of extracting dino and plant DNA that has been trapped in amber and using it to reboot prehistoric species of flora and fauna. Spielberg grounds the story with a moral core that lets us enjoy the catastrophic destruction without any inconvenient pangs of conscience.
Spielberg also makes sure we have someone to root for, lining up our loyalties with characters we can both identify with and admire. Laura Dern and Sam Neill play experts in paleolithic animals and plants who are (1) interested in science, not money and (2) in love. That's all we need to know. But just to make sure, he adds in a few children, who not only get our protective instincts going but give Neill's character a chance to grow.
Go to see "Jurassic Park" in 3-D. Go to take your kids who were not born when it was released. Go to see it the way it should be seen, on a big screen in a theater filled with happily terrified fans. Go to see Samuel L. Jackson before he was Samuel L. Jackson But most of all, go for the delight of watching pure Spielberg movie magic.
