Dear Abby: Do women ever initiate sex with men, or must they always be wooed, cajoled, begged or persuaded? I have a fairly good physical relationship with my wife, but it happens only when I make the overtures. I am left with the conclusion that either the physical act isn't that enjoyable or I am not very desirable.
If every encounter must start with me, and my wife can take it or leave it, is she just doing me a favor? Must sex always start with the guy, or can women demonstrate more overt interest?
Undersexed in Ohio
Many women — but not all — initiate sex with their partner. If your wife doesn't, it may be she isn't comfortable being the aggressor, her hormone levels have changed, sex may have become painful for her, or she never got much out of it in the first place.
Not knowing her, I can't explain why she never makes the first move. But this I AM sure of — until you have a frank and honest discussion with her about it, nothing is going to change, and it may need to happen with the help of a marriage counselor.
Dear Abby: I have been married to "Richard" for three years, but we have lived together for 10. I was Richard's first and only girlfriend. He's very shy and reserved, while I have always been the outgoing, rebellious type.
I have been communicating with another man, "Drew," for about a year. It started out as me just having a little fun, but now I'm seriously considering leaving Richard. Although Drew and I have never met in person, we're romantically involved and both of us believe we're in love.
I love Richard, but I just don't feel "in love" anymore. We have lost our connection. We have talked about our communication problems, and he knows about Drew. Despite my explaining what the problems were, I feel he has ignored the issues.
We have been trying to get pregnant for years and it hasn't happened. I'm starting to believe it is a sign that I should move on. Should I follow my heart and be with Drew or stay with Richard despite my feelings? Please help.
Distraught in Texas
I'm willing to wager that if you devoted just a fraction of the energy you have spent on your extracurricular relationship to your husband, your marriage would be in better shape. With the help of a marriage counselor you might even be able to address those issues you feel have been ignored and re-establish your "connection."
But for you to throw away your marriage for someone you haven't met in person would be a serious mistake. Be glad that you haven't gotten pregnant and dragged a child into this. It would have broken your husband's heart, not only because you abandoned him but also because he would have been separated from the child he loved.
Dear Abby: A year ago I gave my brother-in-law a framed print that had belonged to my late husband. Some time afterward, out of curiosity, I researched it and found that it is worth far more than I realized — several thousand dollars.
I haven't mentioned this to my brother-in-law. I would never ask for the print back, but would it be OK to let him know the value and mention that if he ever decides not to keep it, I might like it returned? (I would sell it and put the money in my daughter's college fund.)
Gave more than I thought
Level with your brother-in-law about having researched the print and ask him to return it. When you do, tell him you need the money for your daughter's college fund. Offer to exchange it for an item with sentimental value. Honesty is the best policy, and he may agree.

good esteem builder
By Dollbaby

I wear every other day to add good look,the great thing about the product is you can not tell the difference if it is added or not. I do not like the idea that it does not quiet stay in place but it still looks good as I wear it. I believe double stiching will take care of that. at the bottom it folds under the cheek and has to be pushed up back into place, but I sill intend on purchasing more anyway. I really love this piece of garment in spite of.

The Importance of Keyword Research Tools in Improving Blog Rankings
June 30, 2010
Here in the LinkLift office, we are used to hearing many different languages, but the most pervasive SEO catchphrase that is bandied about is: 'Mots-Clés'.
Or you may recognize the English translation: 'Keywords'.
Knowing which keywords will place your blog onto the first page of Google ensures that your blog attracts more readers and/or your business gets more customers. These days the distinction between 'business' and 'blogger' is a very blurry one. Anyone who types a word into a search engine is seconds away from becoming a customer or a follower.
As such, Keywords (so important that I give them a capital letter) and the relationship between Keywords are the foundation upon which a website lives or dies.
According to Yoast, when you are planning your website, there are a number of ways to make sure that all the pages of your site come together to rank your website highly under ALL of the relevant keywords.
Firstly, use your own commonsense, ask everyone who knows a lot about what your website has to offer and ask yourself and them: Which words might someone use to describe your site?
List every one of the words that you can think of. And then use some of these Keyword research tools to help you fill in all the blanks. This last step is very important, Keyword research tools (the most famous perhaps being Google Adwords) are a goldmine of interesting and relevant statistics that will improve your understanding of what people are searching for and how they are searching.
As you compile this list, group Keywords that are closely related to each other. The main overridingly important Keyword should be placed on the homepage in the beginning of the title. Then assign one Keyword to each of your other pages, the closer linked to the homepage, the higher their importance in terms of your website's function.
Keyword research is vital because the part it plays in your site's structure. Successful websites place all the right Keywords in all the right pages and are most easily found by searchers.

Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasecl100 May 20, 2010 5:06 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)I would like to see more zombie maps. Hopefully more maps with the disc instead of just one and additional maps as DLC. An area 51 map would be cool even if there aren't aliens as enemies but instead would be frozen in containers or something. More easter eggs and i think it would be good if the new zombie maps tie the new story with the one in World at War. I'd also like to see a Zombie game made by Treyarch in the future with a campaign and co-op mode.
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleaseiidarkshadowoo May 20, 2010 5:06 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)Well since you said please...I'll think about it.
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasevaultdweller5 May 20, 2010 5:11 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)yeah zombies was the only good thign about WaW. They need to have more than one map that comes with the game and have a separate ranking system (matchmaking) for zombies. include weapon attachments, create a class, all perks/equipment. I dont know if trey arch realized it, but nazi zombies was better than the entire game of Left for Dead. and its just a bonus mission basically. also, they need to be more careful about glitches, the only bad part of zombies.
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseiSnapple May 20, 2010 6:11 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)1. Requesting for all players to have a microphone and not be in a party. In my experience its frustrating when only 1 or 2 people have a mic besides you.
2. Gun upgrading!!! This made Der Riese extremely fun with the different variety of guns you could get. Maybe it should be more than once.
3. A story. But it should maybe have cinematics or make it a little less hidden.
4. A whole lot of guns, I love variety! (=
5. Make it not that competitive... somehow. It should be a challenge to get to the farthest round possible, not the most points. Yes i know it's already pretty much like that I like it that way though.
6. More than 1 free map. I'm pretty sure Treyarch will do that but it would be nice (=
7. Attachments when you upgrade, Or that you can buy off the wall.
Thats my wishlist but its kind of a repost, but not a thread, I just wanna get it out there
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasepistol11082 May 20, 2010 6:14 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)Zombies was my 2nd favorite thing about WaW. it was just sick. but it would be cool to add cinematic stuff to it like assanations and stuff. maybe even vechicles in it would be really cool
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseByakuganMaster6 May 20, 2010 6:24 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)Yea I couldn agree more. Nazi Zombies was way too much fun it really needs to keep going rthey should that would be rally offical!!!!!!!!! I would kill die anything for more maps of Nazi Zombies!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasejosexxx May 20, 2010 7:28 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleaseblack titan May 20, 2010 8:07 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)Yes, I definitely think that there should be more zombies in the new game. I loved the pack a punch and think that there should be similar zombie modes on new maps. They need to have attachments and should make it where you can customize your start out class or skip to the highest wave you've gotten to with a random weapon set. Because i hate starting out again on the first 6 waves cuz it can get very tedious.
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasehiuleep May 20, 2010 8:39 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)wouldn't be a little confusing to have to much guns and upgrading? But more nazi zombie maps would be good. Maybe every ten rounds there could be a different
bonus level insted of dogs???
Re: Zombies Come Back PleasexXAntagonistXxx May 20, 2010 9:08 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)yea i wish you could request for everyone to have a mic
Re: Zombies Come Back PleasexXxH4YDOSxXx May 21, 2010 3:25 AM (in response to ADuBzZz)i hope so but make it possible to do more then 20 rounds
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseBEASTMODE93 May 21, 2010 9:38 AM (in response to ADuBzZz)man that would be really great if they do bring Zombies back! please do it tryarch!!
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasevip3rgt9 May 21, 2010 10:40 AM (in response to ADuBzZz)So are zombie confirmed for Black Ops or not?
Re: Zombies Come Back PleasexBRITISHLEMONx May 21, 2010 11:10 AM (in response to ADuBzZz)I agree that there should be Zombies in Black Ops it was a huge hit in World At War and im sure it will be a even BIGGER hit in Black Ops P.S i cant wait until Black ops it looks amazing
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasebaksxshortyx May 21, 2010 11:16 AM (in response to ADuBzZz)Zombies was a big hit with the DLC and treyarch made a lot of money with all the gameing platforms, but it wasnt all ways fun... you'd allways get the glitcher which spoiled the game realy, Be smart and put a Beta out with the multiplayer
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseDannyboy254 May 21, 2010 1:20 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)I totally agree with everyones comments i think Treyarch should bring Nazi zombies back and i would be suprised if they don't.
I would like to see a seperate ranking system (No prestiges) ; Also add some of the PC nazi zombie maps that pepeople made because i've seen them and they are good : Also all the guns in campaign and multiplayer should be available in nazi zombies.
Re: Zombies Come Back Pleasejrfizzle3 May 21, 2010 6:26 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)I. Here are some additions I would like to see
1. 4 player local zombie co-op
2. option of choosing a matchmaking game with people with mics
3. more than 4 ppl on a zombie map because more people is always more fun
4. faster DLC packs for just zombies because thats all ppl bought them for anyway... we don't want more multiplayer maps just zombie maps
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseStatewars Hockey May 21, 2010 6:39 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)I believe there is at least a 99% chance of zombies returning......
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseBeastlyTZA May 21, 2010 6:52 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)They Should Bring The Zombies back it is in the Treyach Company Now i hope that it is in Black Ops Thats What I am Waiting For in the new Game
Re: Zombies Come Back PleaseZ FuLgUr LaTr0 May 21, 2010 7:30 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)========================
Re: Zombies Come Back PleasexREGIMEx May 21, 2010 7:32 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)Dang i love yalls Idea's!!!
I agree
Re: Zombies Come Back PleasePolaris Variant May 21, 2010 8:14 PM (in response to ADuBzZz)You know what would be interesting?
Zombies that are much faster, but much easier to kill. Think Zombieland or Dawn of the Dead (2004).
What do you guys think?

Linux for Suits - Penguins in Winnipeg
Sometimes I like to get back to UpFront stories that deserve more than the few inches they get the first time around. Such was the case with the news that the Manitoba Media Centre (manitobamediacentre.org), a new "Open Source Entertainment Engineering, Innovation, and Production Research Facility" in Winnipeg, was already funded for seven figures with plans to push that number up to eight [see Doc's story in LJ's March 2007 UpFront section]. I got to thinking..."Why so much money? And, why Manitoba?"
So, I began corresponding with Michael Collins, the CEO of Linux Media Arts (LMA) and the prime mover behind the project. Veteran Linux Journal readers who followed Robin Rowe's coverage of Linux Hollywood Domination may recall Robin's encounter with Michael at the 2001 NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) show, where Michael said, "Our goal is to make Linux the premier multimedia editing and media production platform in the world, largely using open-source software" (www.linuxjournal.com/article/4743). The next year, Robin reviewed LMA's Broadcast 2000 nonlinear editor (NLE)—a product that has since been succeeded by Cinelerra (cinelerra.org), a Linux-based 64-bit open-source editing system, which, at last check, had around 700,000 search results on Google. Although this was a Linux Movie Mojo story on its own right, LMA's Manitoba move seemed too interesting to ignore. So, I decided to interview Michael, with interesting results. Read on.
LJ: What got the Manitoba Media Centre going?
MC: The concept for an Open Source Research and Development facility in Manitoba was first considered three years ago at the IBC show in Amsterdam. I made plans to meet up with a colleague from Winnipeg with whom I had been collaborating remotely in the design of a high-definition video board. His name is José A. Rueda. José is an experienced multimedia systems engineer with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and an MBA. José had a good understanding of the business side of media engineering and open source, and he was very willing to collaborate. José spoke glowingly about Manitoba's technological and financial resources and its highly stable professional population—something lacking in other regions. So, it looked to me like Manitoba might be a perfect R&D climate, and I kept that in the back of my mind while we moved forward with various other projects.
Then, business prospects rose dramatically, and with them the need for good R&D. So, last spring, I called up José to discuss establishing an R&D facility for LMA in Winnipeg. Then, I flew to Winnipeg in August for a four-day trip to meet with José and a few of his colleagues from business and government. José who is very well respected in Manitoba business and political circles, took me around town to meet with numerous people from the public and private sectors. We first met with Edward Suzuki of Destination Winnipeg, the economic development agency for the city of Winnipeg, and he was very keen in helping us and assisting us plan my itinerary for the meetings in my first visit and my future visits. We also met with John Clarkson, who is the Deputy Minister for Science, Technology, Energy, and Mines in the Provincial Government of Manitoba.
I laid out a vision for a worldwide center for open-source media technologies. John Clarkson was very curious, supportive and perceptive, and he surprised me at the end of the meeting by mentioning that the Premier of Manitoba, Gary Doer, was very interested in alliances with technology companies based in California. He said the Premier was scheduled for a trip to Los Angeles in a few weeks' time and might be interested in discussing the concept further.
A few weeks later, I got an e-mail from John telling me the Premier wanted to visit our Burbank offices and wanted me to present our vision directly to him. So, Mr Doer came accompanied by John Clarkson, and I laid out my vision for a research center in Winnipeg that took advantage of the professional engineering population and the supportive business community in Manitoba.
A week later, we heard back that the Premier wished to go forward with the concept. So, I took two more trips to Winnipeg to determine the project's viability and to make plans for its eventuality. José and I continued to meet with those interested in the financing, support and professional requirements for building a facility from scratch. Eventually, we came up with a viable plan and decided to announce the Manitoba Media Centre (MMC), along with the initial $20 million investment, on December 15, 2006, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
LJ: Can you say who the investors are?
MC: I can say that Linux Media Arts is devoting $5 million in current revenues to the Centre to jump-start development endeavors. The rest is coming from a combination of investments from the province and from regional interests in Manitoba. The multimillion-dollar investment will enable us to engage in business opportunities and relationships that were not available to us before.
LJ: What projects are you starting out with?
MC: LMA has a number of complete systems architecture projects in-house right now. We will be hiring employees and contributors of the MMC to support key technology development. Additionally, the MMC will support technical development where markets currently exist and are not being properly supported by the industry, in our opinion.
LJ: What are some of those markets?
MC: Our focus is on larger markets such as broadcasting and film production systems engineering projects, particularly in Asia. Wherever people want their open-source multimedia project to be developed to a professional standard, we can help. Our engineering staff is very experienced. We have PhDs with qualifications from the largest media engineering and media production companies.
LJ: What do you expect to see coming out of the Centre?
MC: We expect to see the MMC become a worldwide leader in open-source development technologies, where a full-time staff will support research and development, and technologists will come to the Centre from all around the world. In fact, we intend to participate at NAB in April 2007. We also intend to host a three-day conference in Winnipeg in fall 2007.
In addition, we have plans to build a multimedia production centre for the Misipawistik Cree Nation in Manitoba. Users will be able to record and produce programming for the Internet, cable and satellite distribution.
We are also assisting in the development of a curriculum based on open-source media applications for the Red River College in Winnipeg. We are collaborating with the University of Manitoba Experimental Media Centre as well.
LJ: What are some of the technologies you're talking about here?
MC: Archiving, indexing, restoration, telecine and media distribution.
LJ: Let's look at the big Linux development picture and put these in context. Right now, the LAMP stack has grown to more than 140,000 components, if we look at the list of projects on SourceForge alone. What's still missing there for multimedia?
MC: In our opinion, what's missing is a professional perspective with the finishing touch and polish necessary to get professional attention. Open-source media applications and systems have to be better to achieve a larger reach in a competitive and dynamic market.
LJ: In the December 2006 announcement, you said the MMC would work on "an Open Source Media Distribution Operating System". Is Linux not already that?
MC: Of course it is. However, what we intend to do is to release it strictly from the perspective of what is important to multimedia users. In other words, tool and applications and kernel changes that will improve the media experience.
LJ: Can you be more specific about kernel changes?
MC: Well, we stick pretty closely to what Red Hat and SUSE have been distributing for 64-bit architectures on the 2.6 kernel. The changes we make in the release and device drivers are more applicable to unique video cards, video networking devices, moving large files and adherence to SMPTE protocols. We also find it advantageous to remove some of the options for a typical production worker who is using a system as an appliance. Also, in streamlining the size and scope of the release, it tends to pick up speed, and this is also important for moving video frames.
LJ: What are some examples of archival and indexing tools or other open-source multimedia applications?
MC: MXF is a metadata-based archiving tool that is open source. We're also talking about many compression technologies, which have the ability to place indexable wrappers on them.
LJ: Will there be efforts to carry forward existing open-source multimedia apps that are already out there?
MC: Absolutely. There are numerous examples that will be included with the distribution. In particular, we expect to finally bring the promise of Cinelerra to fruition for professional markets on a wide scale.
LJ: How is Cinelerra doing?
MC: Cinelerra continues to be developed by its originator and main developer Adam Williams, and supported by an active open-source team from all over the world. Nothing proprietary will be implemented in Cinelerra on our watch. But, it will soon become clear that Cinelerra will compete favorably and beat the biggest names in the business. That is one of the main goals of the Manitoba Media Centre. We want to bring Cinelerra into its rightful place as a superior media software application that lives up to its original vision: to change how we edit and tell stories with video.
LJ: I see Cinelerra is GPL'd. Will the Manitoba Media Centre work to make other developments GPL'd as well?
MC: Absolutely. We have been very successful in developing and implementing GPL software on consulting contracts. We intend to devote a great deal of effort developing and promoting GPL software.
LJ: How will the development communities work? Who will keep the code repositories?
MC: Like other communities, these will attract contributors who have a stake in what the code will do. And, that's in addition to the professionals we're hiring to work on the code as well. Both the code and the repositories will be located on our servers in Winnipeg and mirrored elsewhere.
LJ: How is Linux progressing in Hollywood in general? Can we expect to see proprietary solutions increasingly replaced?
MC: Oh, yes. Linux continues to be high on the development agendas of numerous major studios. Current integrations are usually with in-house solutions. We expect efforts such as the MMC to change that by making more professional tools available on the open market for everybody.
LJ: How will it change your business in particular?
MC: Soon we'll be announcing a motion picture with a major Hollywood star to be shot entirely in Manitoba by a Canadian director and produced in collaboration with our team using our media production systems. All of our media solutions will be involved from pre-production to production to post-production to distribution. We can even provide the systems to project the film at an electronic cinema.
LJ: Let's look at developments on the demand side of the market, where more consumers are becoming producers, and the quality of digital goods is moving toward what you pros call "cine" quality. What's the biggest step for getting us there?
MC: Cheaper 1080p cameras, cheaper lenses and affordable easy-to-use tools.
LJ: How soon do you think 1080p shooting and production will be within reach of amateurs and low-budget independent moviemakers?
MC: It's already within the reach of people willing to take a professional approach to their production. In other words, it's very much in reach of the first adopters from a financial perspective. "The typical amateur" includes so many different types of people that we're bound to see lots of good work. To do that work, they'll find that software and systems are in place right now. The most expensive part of the production is the capture end, meaning the camera. After that, it's a storage issue. If you want to take it to film, then those are additional costs. It is expensive, but it's not impossible, as it was just a few years ago. If you want to have something professional for a film festival or even for distribution, you can do it.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

---Rookie defensive end Marcell Dareus told KISS 95.5 FM this morning that he was kicked in the calf during practice on Wednesday but doesn't know if he's going to be available for Saturday's third preseason game against Jacksonville.
Dareus was seen on crutches following Wednesday's practice with what was first believed to be an ankle injury.
"I got kicked in my calf and I bruised a muscle and they didn't want to take a risk or anything like that, so they sent me out of practice and I got some treatment," Dareus told KISS. "That's pretty much all it is. We're stretching it out, getting treatment but they didn't want to take any risks because they didn't know what was going on.''
On the possibility of playing against Jacksonville, Dareus said: "I want to play. I think I am going to play, but I don't know just yet."

Troy Behrens, executive director of the Hegi Family Career Development Center, offers his keys to summer internship success. E-mail your career questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Dear Troy,
Summer is a busy time for students: Its internship season! What are the best ways to maximize a three-month internship? What are the dos and donts, and the best practices?
Tricia at The Guildhall at SMU
Dear Tricia,
As students embark on their summer internships, they will hear many words of advice regarding how they should act, think and dress on the job.
Im going to give you my 16 sure-fire keys to internship success pearls of wisdom from 10 years of experience in recruiting, hiring, training and promoting interns in Corporate America. The students who had these 16 keys mastered before their internships made wonderful impressions and the most of their summers.
Never embarrass your boss.
Never accept an assignment you cant complete, never criticize your boss in front of others, and never act so negatively that your boss gets phone calls from people complaining about you.
Keep your boss informed.
This will help you avoid those embarrassing situations and taking on too much work, and will help you maintain a proper training pace.
Offer solutions, not problems.
When asked to do something, think about how many different ways you can solve the problem. Never complain about the job and whine about how difficult or boring it is.
Be consistent.
Predictability in the workplace is comforting to those who dont know you well but work with and supervise you. They need to be able to predict how you would perform or react in certain situations, especially when they are not present. The more confident people are with your consistency, the more responsibility they will bestow upon you.
Do what is asked and close the loop.
When you finish a job, let everyone who was a part of the project know you are done. How did you do it? When was it completed? What is the next step?
Work hard.
This means start early, leave late. Have passion for what you do. Think creatively. Shoot for high quality. Stay focused on your task. Manage your time so you can have your work checked and rechecked before you turn it in.
Learn your bosss expectations.
Ask questions about what your boss likes and doesnt like from other employees, and then do what he or she likes. Try to anticipate what your boss will want, so he or she doesnt have to ask for it.
Make your boss look good.
Your No. 1 priority as an intern is to master your job and make your boss look good. That is why you were hired.A stellar job will benefit your boss, your department and, ultimately, you. If you do a stellar job, you will be complimented by customers or colleagues but the compliment wont be about you as much as about the boss, co-workers and company that trained you. They helped you look good by teaching you how to be a great employee, and as a great employee, you help them look good. It is the circle of business and internship success.
Respect your bosss authority.
Your boss is your supervisor for a few reasons. He or she most likely is experienced, has an advanced degree in the field or climbed the corporate ladder from the ground up. When a boss asks or commands you to get something done, do it with no complaining, whining, guff or defiant questioning. Sometimes interns who are fresh out of school get caught up trying to prove how much they know.
Be available.
Have an open-door policy; allow people to walk in and talk to you about work and just to say hello. Always answer your phone and return voice and e-mail messages promptly. Being available also means you should offer to help colleagues when you have spare time.
Accept criticism and negative feedback.
Getting feedback from a supervisor or a co-worker that is less than flattering is not pleasant. Nobody likes to hear about shortcomings and failures. So how should you handle it?
First, listen and keep your mouth closed. Concentrate on letting your critic tell you what is wrong. It might be difficult to sit back and just listen, but getting into an argument to defend your ego is the last thing you want to do!
Second, repeat what you heard this person say. It will help you avoid misunderstanding what was said, and it will help you validate this person. For example, say: Sally, what Im hearing you say is that you think my planning for this meeting was unorganized because I didnt have a large room reserved. If I would have asked you a few days in advance, I would have known that 20 extra people had signed up to attend. Is that right?
Finally, learn from the situation. If Sally told you to tune up your organizational skills, ask her for specifics and how she thinks you can avoid getting into a similar mess in the future. Take the criticism and change the behaviors that made it happen. Remember, the worst thing about making a mistake is not learning from it!
Take ownership.
Regardless of what happens, you have to be front and center with your head held high when called upon to explain any situation. NEVER, EVER pass the blame for something that has gone wrong. On the flip side, try not to hog all the credit for things that go well. That is partly what it means to take ownership. It also means that you should monitor your progress, manage your workload and push yourself to 100 percent if you dont care about your job, who will?
Reduce your need for supervision.
Did you ever notice that people who complain about a boss always riding my butt and breathing down my neck are usually the same people who turn in shoddy work and are in late and out early? Well, need I say more?
A hard-working, mature intern will not have a supervisor who micromanages her every move because she has demonstrated a great work ethic and has gained her supervisors trust. Most managers dont enjoy holding either interns or workers hands.
Play it straight.
This is a simple rule to follow, and it is probably the most important. What it means: Never lie, cheat, steal, give false information, cover up an error, hide the truth, avoid criticism or cover for someone who has done something wrong. Once you lose your reputation for being honest, it is VERY difficult to regain co-workers respect. If you lack their respect, it will be difficult to remain on board with that company. So always tell the truth. Speak openly and honestly about uncomfortable issues with the intent to resolve problems.
Do more than you are asked.
In his book What They Dont Teach You at Harvard Business School, Mark McCormack reminds us that we should take everything we do so seriously that our job security might depend upon it.He says we should write memos with the intent to dazzle our co-workers. We should pretend our companys CEO will evaluate everything we do.When were done with a project, he says, we should ask ourselves: Is this project ready to be reviewed by our CEO, and am I ready to stake my job on the quality of the work Ive done? If you answer NO to this two-part question, you are not doing more than you were asked. Doing more than you were asked means providing extras to your job that make it that much better for those working with you. It also means that if you have spare time, you should pitch in and help others before they have to ask for assistance.
Accept assignments willingly.
Simply stated, you should accept your job assignment with a smile and positive attitude. It is OK to ask what the assignment is intended to do or why you are asked to do it but for the purposes of a long-term perspective, not as a complaint. Some interns feel some assignments are beneath them or unnecessary. Asking how this job fits into a larger project is a great way to find out that your work means something and that you are not being asked to do grunt work.
Managers do not like people who respond to new assignments with answers such as, Im too busy, or Ask Sally to do it, or That sounds like a boring job! You might be tested at your internships start to see how willing you are to take one for the team on a really tedious job. Getting it done on time and with a positive attitude will earn you responsibility and the trust of your boss and co-workers so you can start your climb up the corporate ladder.
Good luck this summer, and keep the questions coming!

BEULAH — Recounts in four Benzie County elections did not change any of the outcomes.
Election officials could not recount Benzonia Township to determine the winner of county commission District 4 because the ballot bag was not properly sealed, said county Clerk Dawn Olney. Republican challenger Glen Rineer's two-vote victory over incumbent Democrat Anne Damm will stand.
The recounts in the other three townships gained a total of just two votes for the challengers.
Democrat Paul Beechraft will remain Inland Township supervisor after the recount didn't change his nine-vote win margin.
Democrat Chelsie Tanner gained one vote but still loses by 12 to Republican Matt Emery for supervisor of Joyfield Township.
Homestead Township treasurer candidate Calvin Garber also gained one vote, but fell far short of the 231 votes he needed to defeat Republican Shelley Rosa.

What is the CEO Forum Education Initiative?
The University of Saint Francis CEO Forum is in its 20th year bringing top entrepreneurs to campus to speak to our students and business community. In 2011, we began an effort to further expand the insight and wisdom shared by these accomplished CEOs to high schools, where young entrepreneurial talent is naturally taking shape.
Identified speaker content connected to Indiana State Teaching Standards
To enable you to review this content and ensure its relevance to your students, we have provided the 2011 speaker's remarks showing the relation to the 2011 Indiana State Teaching Standards. The 2012 speaker's remarks showing the relation to the 2012 Indiana State Teaching Standards is also provided.
2011 & 2012 Keynote Speaker videos now available
The 2011 forum features Culver's co-founder and CEO, Craig Culver. Beyond a connection your students may have as a Culver's restaurant customer, they will hear firsthand the humble beginnings of the national restaurant chain that now boasts more than 440 stores. His small town success story reveals how he thinks, what he worries about and what challenges he faced along the way. It was not a smooth path to success, but his family-owned business survived due in large part to his guiding principles: "Don't do something just for money. Do it for love. Do it for passion. Do it for happiness."
The 2012 forum presents Mike Robinson, who is vice president of sustainability and global regulatory affairs for General Motors. One of his major responsibilities is moving GM to the forefront of companies that are known for their proactive efforts in the areas of environmental and social responsibility. Prior to his current position Mike was vice president and general counsel of GM North America. In addition he has served as managing attorney for the company's environmental practice area. As you might imagine he is on a number of boards including the executive committee of alliance of automobile manufactures, board of directors of safe kids worldwide, and the GM foundation.

Sorry, Brunch is SOLD OUT!
Entrance into the Oregon Brewers Festival is free, if you want to walk around, check out the food vendors, or listen to the live music. In order to consume beer at the OBF, you must purchase a 2014 souvenir tasting glass for $7 - this is in lieu of an admission charge. The 2014 souvenir tasting glass is the only vessel that will be filled. Do not bring in mugs from past years hoping to use them. You purchase beer with wooden tokens. Tokens cost $1 apiece. It costs four tokens for a full glass of beer, or one token for a taste. Beer servers do not accept cash.
Glasses and tokens are sold under the same tent, located immediately south of the main entrance at SW Oak Street. The glass/token sales tent is open from Noon to 8:30 pm Wed - Sat, and Noon to 6:30 pm on Sunday; glass and tokens sales stop one half hour prior to the taps shutting off.
Glasses and tokens are non-refundable. However, the tokens are good at the next year's festival. So if you buy 20 tokens and don't use them all, you can save them for next year, or the year after that.
Glasses are good throughout the event weekend, so if you leave and plan to come back, take your glass with you. If you forget your glass, or if you drop it and it breaks, you will have to purchase a new one.

More than 23,000 Americans were wounded, killed, or went missing in the battlefield at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on Sept. 17, 1862, making the Battle of Antietam the single most costly day in American military history.
The Union suffered more than 12,400 casualties; the Confederates suffered over 10,300. Among those casualties were many men from Connecticut. According to historian John Niven, Connecticut regiments engaged at Antietam suffered over 600 casualties, including 136 dead on the battlefield.
Overall, there were four Connecticut regiments engaged: the 8th, the 11th, the 14th, and the 16th regiments. For many of these Connecticut men, the Battle of Antietam marked their first battle experience. Many were cut down before they fired their first shot in combat.
By far the most famous Connecticut casualty at Antietam was General Joseph K. Mansfield of Middletown. He was one of six general officers to die at Antietam. A 40-year veteran of the military, Mansfield had graduated second in his West Point class in 1822. He had served with the U.S. Army in the War with Mexico in the late 1840's but had not been a field officer until being reassigned from duties in Washington, D.C., just prior to the fight at Antietam. Mansfield commanded the 12th Corps, located on the west side of Antietam Creek during the battle.
While leading his men into battle, Mansfield was shot in the chest. According to the surgeon who attended to him, he was shot in the right side of his chest, two inches from the nipple. The ball then passed out near his right shoulder blade. General Mansfield died the next day from his wound. He was 58 years old. Following a large funeral, Mansfield was buried in the Indian Hill Cemetery in Middletown. The General Mansfield House on Main Street in Middletown bears his name, as does a coastal artillery fort on Napatree Point in Westerly, RI.
Another Connecticut officer, Captain John Griswold of Lyme, suffered a fate similar to General Mansfield. Antietam Creek, which snaked through the battlefield at Sharpsburg and became the source of the battle's name, had three stone bridges, each about a mile apart. Naturally, these bridges became major points of contention during the battle. Captain John Griswold of the 11th Connecticut Regiment attempted to ford Antietam Creek to bypass one of these bridges to gain a strategic advantage. While wading through waist-deep water, Griswold was shot through the chest. He made it to the west side of the creek, proving the stream was fordable, but soon collapsed and died on the opposite shore.
Col. Henry Kingsbury, commander of the 11th Connecticut, engaged the Confederates on the stone bridge. Confederate artillery first wounded him in the foot. Shortly thereafter, canister shot from point blank range wounded him in the leg. While being transported back for aid, Kingsbury suffered two more wounds: one to the shoulder and one to the stomach. The stomach wound killed him.
The 14th Connecticut — a Middletown-based regiment — suffered dozens of casualties while marching through a ripened cornfield near the farmhouse of William Roulette. The cornfield both concealed the Connecticut soldiers and prevented them from seeing what lay ahead. As the men of the 14th emerged from the cornfield, they were systematically cut down by rifle fire from Confederates hidden by a sunken road that has famously come to be known as "Bloody Lane." Of the effects of rifle and artillery fire on the cornfield at Antietam, Major General Joseph Hooker later wrote: "...every stalk of corn in the northern and greater part of the field was cut as closely as could have been done with a knife."
Historian Niven notes that field surgeons, overwhelmed by the enormous number of wounded men, soon ran out of bandages and began to use corn leaves to bandage the wounded. Niven quotes B.F. Blakeslee of the Connecticut 16th Regiment: " In a room 12-by-20 feet a bloody table stood and around it five surgeons. A wounded man was laid on the table and it took but a few seconds for them to decide what to do and but a few minutes to do it. The amputated limbs were thrown out the window. In 48 hours there were as many as two cartloads of amputated legs, feet, arms, and hands in the pile."
Antietam marked the first time that the South had attempted to invade the North to end the war. Though both sides suffered greatly, the battle was considered a victory for the Union as the South withdrew its forces from Antietam. Most historians regard the Battle of Antietam as a turning point in the war to save the Union. Most appropriately, the battle was fought on Sept. 17, 1862, the 75th anniversary of the ratification of the United States Constitution — the very document that had established the Union that the North, including four regiments from Connecticut, sacrificed so much at Antietam to save.

Some say BlackBerry 10, the new phone RIM will launch on Jan. 30th, could be a make-or-break device.
So what's it like? RIM gave Forbes a demo of the phone's software at CES 2013, unveiling some impressive features and factoids. Here are 10 of them, with a video of the demo below.
1) First a crucial factoid: carriers apparently like it. So far 150 of them from around the world are testing BlackBerry 10 in their labs, according to CMO Frank Boulben, which means they'll almost certainly carry the phone. He expects 200 carriers to offer BB 10 by the summer of 2013.
2) The phone is launching with more than 70,000 available apps, along with new features to BlackBerry Messenger that RIM will disclose at launch.
3) The phone takes away a physical "home" button – a bit like Nokia's Lumia phones. It relies on lots of swiping gestures and shortcuts for one-handed use by on-the-go business types.
4) The mobile platform, based on software by QNX, allows users to have two personas on the device – one for work and one for private life, with separate background images and a password that can stop kids from accidentally calling someone's boss. Users can swap between the two with a single gesture, and decide what content is deemed personal and accessible, or private and professional on the same device.
5) A new feature called BlackBerry Hub. This is a neat amalgamation of all notifications that users access by swiping in an "L" shape, up and to the left. When writing an email and a new one comes in, users can also swipe slightly to "peek" at the content, before continuing with their email. No need to press a button or delete any draft of the email.
6) BlackBerry Hub's integration with Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare and LinkedIn — with potential for other developers to allow their apps to integrate with the Hub too. Users don't have to go into any of these applications to update their profiles or comment on these networks, but do it all in the Hub.
7) Quick context and aggregation. BlackBerry has created an apparently seamless system that allows you to get relevant information on people in your calendar. Swipe down to see the next appointment, then tap to see previous meetings you've had with the person, or what they last said to you in an email, or what a Google search on them brings up, or their LinkedIn profile — all within a couple of windows and without opening a browser. "It follows your train of thought," says Boulben, who described this experience as "BlackBerry Flow."
8.) A keyboard that learns. This applies to the touch-screen version of BlackBerry 10, since RIM is bringing out a second BB 10 device with a physical keyboard. The application scans every email or instant message you've sent and builds an algorithm to better predict what words you'll type — rumor has it RIM partnered with A.I. startup SwiftKey on this. Predicted words hover on the "frets" between the key rows, and you select them by flicking up with your thumb (see video below). Swipe down on the keyboard to get punctuation symbols; swipe backwards across the keyboard to erase a word. If you tend to type between the O and P, the keyboard will learn this and shift the touch actuator to lie between the two keys.
9) Language. Start typing the word "je" and the BlackBerry 10 keyboard automatically suggests French words. "There is nothing more frustrating than writing in one language and being corrected in another," says Boulben, who is French.
10.) A few other things we don't know about. Boulben said RIM would unveil a couple of extra features at its Jan. 30 announcement, and the handset he showed me was not the finished product.
Overall, RIM is eagerly promoting BlackBerry 10 — it's not keeping the details about it under wraps like Apple. In fact, Boulben has been in 32 countries in the last four months to promote the hell out of this phone. And for good reason.
By summer 2013 we should know if any of these new features will help RIM stay in the game.
omg – Scobie ( the worlds biggest Rim basher/hater who wishes death to them ) just tried the new BB10 today. He said, "He likes it a lot"
There we have it people. If you are, or were a RIM hater and basher, once you try BB10, you all of a sudden become a RIM lover and supporter.
From reading this article it seems Rim is still very much engaged in making their phones work in the old fashioned navigations, shortcuts, options, tricks, menus, lists, and those sort of rigid ways which cast the way a user would work, like a caveman chiseling a stone. This old entrenched mode operandi of Rim is a stark contrast to modern free style voice dictation available on the iPhone 5 and iPad which would take vocal dictations by users and save them as documents. Speech is easily 3 times faster or more with no possibility of typos and carpal tunnel wrist injuries. The device looks so much like the BB Storm invoking those horrible memories of the failed BB Storm. As to the Balance feature separating work and private personas, it's all too easy that the user went off to the washroom or some errands leaving the BB10 in work persona forcing the children or someone else to do nothing but damages in the work persona, whereas a mixed work and private environment would eliminate the chance of a totally vulnerable work only environment being exposed. The work of BB10 has once again demonstrated Rim's tendency to 'go-it-alone' ignoring all but only its tiny circle of carriers and friends in trying to dictate what the world at large truly wants and feel comfortable with. The BB10 stinks of all the old wrongful Rim ways, with all the likelihood of failing just as miserably as the old Storm, Tour, Torch, and Playbook.
Are you serious? Voice dictation has been around forever…i even have talk to text on my current BB Bold.
If you mean "Siri"….that's a bug riddled mess. How many people do you see sitting on the subway dictating into their phone? they don't…..
The BB10 OS blows away iOS in every way.
As for BlackBerry Balance feature….it is an AWESOME feature for the BYOD trend. If you leave /lose your phone you can remotely wipe your data. Apple CANNOT implement this feature because of the archtecture of iOS (Monolithic kernel vs BB10 Micro kernel)
Your comment "whereas a mixed work and private environment would eliminate the chance of a totally vulnerable work only environment being exposed" makes no sense at all…..so it's better to have ALL your data exposed rather just some? As i said…a remote wipe takes care of that.
RIM has made a work horse of a phone for Enterprise that is also Consumer friendly. The same things that make it fast and efficient for Business can now be applied to today's 'Hyper Connected" consumer.
Apple has a serious problem against this OS.
It's a bad ass phone and when people see it up close it will sell……
great investment right now as well.
It's not just that one phrase, jameskc aka jamesapple aka infothathelps (helps who :-) !?!?) makes no sense most of the time
So you are wasting yours since he manages to bend the reality in whatever shape he needs that day (mostly to bash RIM, but sometimes on racist rants, etc.)
As for the rest, I agree, if it's such a "bad ass" phone as it seems, yes, it will sell.
James is an idiot, you know about him? He is on every board out there bashing RIM, I can sometimes see the fear in his eyes.
I particularly like two personas and L gesture, and if i was Apple i would have patented these new features by now. RIMM in my opinion is still doing what it does best – focusing on corporate world. And this alone is one of the reasons its not going to be just another phone with e-mail and facebook/twitter integration.
One little detail, Apple would have needed the idea before patenting it :-).
And we got enough already of their two-finger crap.
Unfortunately "SAFE" is nowhere near as secure as BlackBerry platform and network security. Also…RIM still owns 90% of the fortune 1000 enterprise market…and will solidify that with BB10. They own the space.
Android is a fragmented mess for IT managers to manage.
Apple just plain old doesn't do anything for you from a work perspective.
BB10 is where its at.
Hey Parmy – Have you seen the SmartPhone Poll lately? The number one SmartPhone that people will be buy in 2013 is BB10. This followed by Android, then Windows phone, and in forth place is Apples iPhone.
It's all in the stock charts. (nice picture)
Yeah…RIM wasn't "thinking on their own" when they created this new OS!
Stick with Apple…they are great at selling you the same phone over and over again with no real improvements. The truth is…their OS is old and stale….they are limited in what they can do with it.
BB10 puts RIM in a position do some amazing things with smartphones and Apple will need a couple of years to write a new OS that can even compare.
Apple iphone5 was just rated the WORST phone of the top smartphones on the market.
They have made several mistakes with Maps, wiFi,camera issues…..and those are just a few of the warning signs.
BB10 will slowly start to take back consumers who left BlackBerry for android/apple when this phone gets released and people see what it can do.
The contracts that you are forced into with Apple are way too expensive, you must live under a rock? Apple is so outdated I feel like driving a 1984 Chevy, with the oldest and most boring OS experience on the planet, who would be dumb enough to buy an iPhone?
Two things. First how is the battery life? That should be the number one thing and second is the OS going to be stable in the long term, same with the battery. And lastly RIM needs to realize that their keyboard holds the secret to everything. Imaging an OLEDish physically to the touch responsive keyboard yet still a smooth flat touch screen…?
Thorsten Heins has stated publicly that battery life will be a "full day charge"…plus BlackBerry always alows for a removeable battery so you can swap on the go…unlike Apple products.
That product was called the storm, err… we all know how it turned out.
The difference between 99.9% and, say 90% is huge.
Weŕe still a good couple of years from SciFi becoming affordable tech.
BB10 is Awesome !
there is an error with the youtube video. When the title and button bars want to slide out. It is flickering within google chrome browser
Works great on my BlackBerry Bold….must be an Android issue.
Wow…is Savitz on vacation? Or busy writing some damage control articles for Apple?
Nice to see something balanced out of Forbes.
You forgot a few key features:
1. Best in Class Web Browser- BB10 has been clocked with the world record for web browsing speed…faster than Android, Windows and iOS….even faster than a desktop PC.
2. 8MP camera with auto focus and Time Shift capabilities…allowing users to take a picture that has a few snippets of video before and after each shot….someone in a group shot has their eyes closed? No problem…tap their face and rewind/fast forward to a spot you like and tap again…perfect picture every time. Also has a front facing 3mp camera (probably for Video calling on BBM now that voice was just added).
3. Full day battery life (with removable battery) as stated by CEO.
4. best in class screen resolution with a 4.3 inch screen (little bigger than iPhone5 and a little smaller than Galaxy 3.
This phone blows away the competition.
re: Wow…is Savitz on vacation?
Hilarious. I suspect we will hear less RIMM bashing from these iSheep nowadays, the bash RIMM bandwagon ran out of gas 3 months ago…I'll miss their humerous RIMM bashing and Apple worshipping articles though, better than a comic strip, Forbes editors may want to rethink their strategy unless they want to be known as jokes in the future, those articles relected poorly on other credibile journalists at Forbes
Ooow-hooow, Savitz jumped into the "balanced view" bandwagon a while ago!
One wonders whether he'd turned long already.
Great post!!!

CVS Caremark announced on Feb. 5, that it will no longer sell cigarettes and other tobacco products in stores across the country by Oct. 1. The move will make CVS the first national pharmacy chain to take this step.
CVS has more than 7,600 CVS/pharmacy stores across the country.
"Ending the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products at CVS/pharmacy is the right thing for us to do for our customers and our company to help people on their path to better health," said CVS Caremark President and CEO Larry J. Merlo in a statement released Wednesday morning. "Put simply, the sale of tobacco products is inconsistent with our purpose."
Merlo goes on to say that the action the company is taking today by removing tobacco products from its stores "further distinguishes us in how we are serving our patients, clients and health care providers and better positions us for continued growth in the evolving health care marketplace."
President Obama praised the company's decision in a statement issued shortly after the announcement saying it was a choice that will have a "positively profound impact on the health of the country and that it sets a powerful example.
The Washington Post reported that with CVS's plan to phase out tobacco products, it could lose approximately $2 billion in revenue generated by tobacco sales and the other products these same shoppers purchase.
Smoking is the leading cause of premature disease and death in the United States with more than 480,000 deaths annually. While the number of adults who are smokers has dropped from 42 percent of adults in 1965 to 18 percent today, it has stalled, according to the statement from CVS."CVS Caremark is continually looking for ways to promote health and reduce the burden of disease," said CVS Caremark Chief Medical Officer Troyen A. Brennan, M.D., M.P.H. "Stopping the sale of cigarettes and tobacco will make a significant difference in reducing the chronic illnesses associated with tobacco use."

Does the news of Hostess Brands's liquidation mean the loss of some of America's favorite childhood treats?
Seattle's Cupcake Royale is showing that the end of Hostess doesn't mean an end to at least two of the company's sugary treats. The seven-store chain is paying homage by offering its versions of Hostess CupCakes and Sno Balls for $3.75 each.
"We couldn't let the end of an era simply end without a proper tribute," said Cupcake Royale owner Jody Hall. "Hostess was an integral part of creating a national passion for cupcakes, and our love of the cupcake and we owe a lot to them. Our fascination with the little white swirl and the crème-filled center will be embedded in our childhood memories."
Visit any of the six Seattle locations or the one in Bellevue Friday through Sunday to pick up one of the sweets.
In an annoucement on the company's Facebook page, Cupcake Royale described the treats:
"The CupCake, you got it, is a Cupcake Royale chocolate cake with a marshmallow fluff filling, topped with chocolate frosting and decorated with a signature white piping that we all love.
The Snowball is a chocolate cake filled with the same delectable marshmallow fluff, surrounded by a delicate shower of coconut."
Sadly, the Cupcake Royale versions only have a 24-hour shelf life, as opposed to the 24 years of some of the Hostess originals. In a release, the company apologized in advance for the oversight.
