Q: I am buying an existing business. The company does not have an employee handbook, but the company I work for now does. Should I adopt a company handbook?
A: Whether your company needs an employee handbook is greatly impacted by the size of the company, the number of its employees, the nature of its business and its goals. Because we don't know any details related to your new company, we will discuss the use of employee handbooks generally. But to determine whether you should adopt a handbook, and more importantly, what it should say, we will need much more information.
Company handbooks can be useful to provide uniformity of the information your company provides to its employees. What is expected of the employees? What can they expect from the company? A handbook, if properly executed and implemented, puts everyone on the same page. The employee handbook is different than a company's policy and procedures manual. A policy and procedures manual is generally written for and distributed to office managers, supervisors and other key personnel, and contains the procedures for operating the company as well as overarching company policies. The employee handbook is geared to the worker and interprets the overarching policies and sets forth the implementation of those policies and procedures.
Handbooks often cover issues like employee Internet use, company cell phone use, drug testing policies, vacation policies, sick leave, timekeeping or overtime requirements, and safety policies. They are also good tools to make sure "at will" employees know they are employed at the will of the company and may be dismissed without certain constraints. For employees who are not "at will," the company handbook can define disciplinary steps.
Some companies clearly need handbooks. Companies with 15 or more employees are subject to certain federal laws. These companies should consult an attorney about developing or updating policies that are required by law, and to properly communicate the policies to its employees. Other companies may adopt policies that must be communicated to employees to be binding. But all companies should be careful not to mistakenly create employee rights by adoption of a handbook if the rights are beyond what the company intends.
The terms of handbooks will vary greatly from company to company. You should consult an attorney to determine whether adopting a handbook is right for your company, and, if so, what terms should be included.

Budget woes threaten lake revival
Federal cuts could impact Lake Cumberland management
by Bill Mardis
Commonwealth Journal
Wolf Creek Dam —
Economic optimism about a promised rise in Lake Cumberland this summer is being clouded by a wrangling U.S. Congress and ominous threat of sequester –– automatic, across-the-board spending cuts set to begin Friday.
"We just don't know at this point how it will affect us," said Tom Hale, operations manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Eastern Kentucky Area. Hale's area of responsibilty includes Lake Cumberland as well as Martins Fork in Harlan County and Laurel Lake near London.
"We (Corps) are part of the Defense Department," Hale noted. "We are waiting to see how we are to respond to the budget cuts, and we will respond accordingly."
Some $46 billion will be cut from the Defense Department's budget if sequester takes effect. The national media reports the Defense Department has officially notified its 800,000 civilian employees that they are likely to be placed on periods of unpaid leave.
According to Hale, the 53 employees of the Corps' Eastern Kentucky Area at this point don't know how they will be affected. As aforesaid, their responsibilities are operation of Lake Cumberland, Laurel Lake and Martin's Fork Lake as well as Wolf Creek Dam aside from the rehabilitation project.
Lake Cumberland, with a promised 20-foot rise in the water level, is welcoming the "Ohio Navy" back this summer after a six-year period of lower water levels that caused many water lovers to seek other vacation places.
Part of the Corps responsibility is keeping the lakes clean and safe for vacationers. Operations of lakes in Eastern Kentucky are complicated by undisciplined trash-dumping practices.
High water, or tides, in streams carry trash into lakes and overburden the Corps' limited staff. Pulaski County government, among others, has been assisting the Corps in tidying up Lake Cumberland ahead of the coming vacation season and the lake's heralded return toward normalcy.
The Corps operates several recreation areas including Waitsboro, Fishing Creek, Cumberland Point and Kendall immediately below Wolf Creek Dam.
Since January 2007, Lake Cumberland has been held as closely as possible to 680 feet above sea level, about 40 feet lower than normal operation.
Repairs to the dam are nearing completion and the Corps announced January 25 that the lake would probably be allowed to rise to between 700 and 705 feet above sea level by June. In 2014, after the total rehabilitation is completed this coming December, the lake will return to its historical pool stage at the tree line.

DURHAM — Its been a buzzword this season in the ACC: zone.
As in, zone defense. Most often, its in reference to Syracuses style of play, but its not just the Orange who have brought the zone to the league.
There are just more people playing zone, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said. And if they dont do it all the time, they at least can do it for significant parts of the game.
One of the more recent zone converts is Miami, Dukes next opponent. The Hurricanes (10-7, 2-3) will host the No. 18 Blue Devils (14-4, 3-2) at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday
According to data from Synergy Sports Technology, Miami has played zone defense on 54 percent of its possessions this season compared with 3 percent last season.
Last year, Larranaga estimated that his ACC champions played against a zone during regular-season conference play for 20 minutes total, for all 18 games. This year, 11 of the 15 teams are going zone more often than last year, and just two (Virginia Tech and Boston College) are using it less frequently.
The zone trend extends beyond just the ACC. Last season, Duke played 8.6 percent of its total possessions against a zone. This season, its up to 24.3 percent.
In the nonconference schedule, we faced more zone in that period of time probably than in any other full season since Ive coached here, said Krzyzewski, who began at Duke in 1980.
The Hurricanes change is a worthy case study. After losing five starters from last seasons ACC championship squad (the Hurricanes announced their national arrival with a Jan. 23, 90-63 thumping of then-No. 1 Duke), Larranaga completely retooled on offense and defense.
Well the first thing is when we added Syracuse, and I knew we were going to be adding Louisville, I gave my staff the project of investigating zone defense, first from an offensive standpoint of how we would attack those teams, and second, is it something we should consider adding to our defensive package, Larranaga said. And we had already played some 2-3 zone in the past, but very, very sparingly.
We decided to implement both a 2-3 zone and a 1-2-2 zone. When our man-to-man defense was not as good as it has been in the past, we decided to try to zone a little bit more. We had a little bit more success with it. Our guys developed a little more confidence in it, and weve been playing it better and better.
The rule changes designed to eliminate hand checks and reduce charges have made it tougher for teams to defend, including Miami. The turning point for the Hurricanes came just before the beginning of conference play in earnest (Miami lost in overtime to Virginia Tech in the leagues Dec. 8 opener).
After a two-hour film session with former Syracuse assistant Bernie Fine, the Hurricanes went to Syracuse and nearly upset the No. 2 Orange, falling 49-44. Syracuse shot 36.2 percent against Miamis matchup zone in a slow, plodding game with just three fastbreak points just how Larranaga wanted it.
The Hurricanes rank last out of all 351 Division I teams in Ken Pomeroys adjusted tempo, averaging 59.1 possessions per game. Last season, Miami aimed to score at least 75 points per game. This season, the fewer shots the offensively challenged Hurricanes are forced to take, the better.
Were not a high-octane offensive team, said Larranga. We felt like in order to compete in the ACC at this high level, we had to give ourselves a chance by being very patient offensively, sharing the ball on offense and trying to create a defense that would force the other team to be patient as well.
So, its a combination of were being patient, but also our opponents taking a lot of time trying to score against our defense.
Since the close call at Syracuse, the Hurricanes are 2-1, with wins against North Carolina and Georgia Tech and a loss to Florida State.
The matchup zone is simple enough to describe. Its a zone with man principles when an opponent is in a defenders zone, he guards him like its man-to-man. He doesnt leave his zone, so, for example, if a team runs a pick-and-roll, the defense wouldnt switch and send the perimeter defender toward the basket. The zone leads to more help defense as well.
Miami isnt alone in its slow-it-down style. Four other ACC teams rank 300 or lower in adjusted tempo Boston College, Clemson, Syracuse and Virginia. Pittsburgh ranks 295th. Save for the inexperienced Hurricanes and the surprisingly bad Eagles, those are the teams atop the ACC standings.
Duke could not be more different the Blue Devils play 1 percent of their opponents possessions in a zone and rank third in the ACC with an average of 69.1 possessions per game. So the question for Wednesday night: is it easier to speed up a slow team or slow down a fast team?
Well, it basically comes down to, who is better at what you do? Larranaga said. And whichever team is more effective, the score will reflect that.

Phoenix Sports Editor
VIAN — He's still not getting the perfect game but for Vian thus far in the Class 2A regional, John Brockman's club is as perfect as they need to be.
The Wolverines got hits when they needed to and a clutch relief out in the seventh and broke a three-year losing streak in the winner's bracket of regionals, beating Morris 7-6 here Friday.
Vian (31-2) awaits a rematch with the Eagles (20-9), a 7-5 winner over Kansas, on Saturday at 1 p.m. with a mulligan game in their pocket to use following that contest should it need to. One win punches the Wolverines' first state ticket since 2007.
"We won and I'm glad for that but I'm not happy about our performance," Brockman said. "I still think we didn't hit very well. We did in spurts but we didn't the whole time. We played pretty good defense but in that last ining we have to finish it off."
He even said something to his team about their approach at the plate in a three-up, three-down first where Eagles hurler Nate Wynn registered two of his four strikeouts in four innings of work. Vian had just one hit and trailed 2-0 going into its half of the fourth.
Home runs in the fourth by Jon Andrews (his third) and Rowdy Simon (his fourth), both with two outs, brought the Wolverines from behind to lead 4-2. Andrews caught a flag-straightening wind blowing straight away to center for his solo shot and Simon parked one over the right field wall after Denver Coffee drew a walk. Ryan Smith came in in relief of Wynn, but the Wolverines plated three more in the fifth, two on a single to center by Shawn Troutman and another run-scoring single by Andrews.
Andrews ran his record to 9-1 on the mound and had allowed just four hits and struck out six through six innings while surviving the wind which took its turns rotating between blowing straight away to right field and kept fielders on their toes all day.
In the seventh, he loaded the bases with a hit batsman, a walk and a single by Clayton Smith. Garrett Tatty barely missed a sizzling shot down the left field line, falling a foot foul as two runs were crossing the plate. He still managed to plate one with a sacrifice fly, just as Dakota Washington did one batter later. Wynn, who had moved to third after exiting the mound in the fourth, doubled to right to make it a one-run game, forcing Brockman to bring in Brett Hooper, who got Alex Workman to ground out to third to end the game.
"These games are a little more pressure than those regular season games. I don't know if he got tired but they were hitting him pretty good. There again he created a few of his own problems to start the inning.
"We're not polished but at this point, winning is all that matters and we didn't have to stretch our pitching like everyone else will now."
That forgives a lot of should-haves.
"This win was big," said Simon, whose home run was his fourth. "We've put ourselves in a hole the last three years by losing this game. Now we're in the driver's seat."
The other area team in this region isn't even in the car. Sequoyah, which lost 12-1 to Morris on Thursday, fell 12-10 to Kansas in the first elimination game Friday. The Indians led 3-0 before collapsing in a seven-run avalanche in the second assisted by two hit batters and a passed ball third strike which put a baserunner on. Between the two teams there were nine hit batsmen (Kansas pitchers plunked six Indians), 13 walks and seven errors. Billy Sunday had an inside the park home run for Sequoyah, which finished at 13-9.

Financial Aid Basics
Financial aid is money provided to help bridge the gap between your own resources and the amount of money needed to pay for the cost of attending Winona State University.
Minimum Eligibility Requirements
To receive federal or institutional funds administered by the financial aid office
Suspected cases of fraud or abuse will be reported to the U.S. Office of Inspector General.
Federal regulations require that we verify the accuracy of information provided. As a result, some applicants must submit IRS tax transcripts, W2's, and other requested documents. If you do not provide these materials before or during the academic year, you will not receive aid awarded by the financial aid office. An application is not complete until all required documentation is submitted. The final determination of eligibility and awarding rests with the University and is based upon uniform and consistent treatment of family circumstances.
FAFSA Application
The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is the only application Winona State requires for all Federal and State financial aid programs
Applications are available on line at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ The FAFSA must be submitted every year you wish to receive financial aid. Winona State University's Title IV School Code is 002394. It is recommended that you wait until two weeks after you have submitted your Federal Tax Return to complete the FAFSA. This way you can use the IRS data retrieval system to have the IRS input your financial information into your FAFSA. This will reduce the likelihood of being selected for verification, and being required to submit your tax documentation to the Financial Aid Office.
The FAFSA should be submitted as soon as possible after January 1 for priority consideration. Students submitting the FAFSA after May 15 are considered late filers and may experience a delay in the receipt of their award notification and fall semester financial aid. Information provided should be from a completed tax return.
Need to Make a Correction to Your FAFSA
Necessary corrections to your FAFSA can be made online at www.fafsa.ed.gov
If you submit your FAFSA using the wrong social security number, you must refile your FAFSA. Please do not make a correction to your existing FAFSA with the wrong social security number. You will need to go to the FAFSA website and start over using the correct social security number.
Late Filers at Winona State University
Some funds are limited and available on a first-come, first-serve basis to eligible recipients. Priority consideration will be given to students submitting their FAFSA as soon as possible after January 1. May 15th is considered a late application. FAFSA filers who do not have their bills paid in full for each term by the published due date will automatically be entered into the extended payment plan with an initial $30 fee.
Changes in Circumstances
In the event of a substantial change in your family circumstances (loss of employment, death, etc.) after filing the application for financial aid, you may submit a Special Conditions Review Form. The Financial Aid Office will review the information reported and determine whether changes can be made.

Sarah Polley has managed to pull off the impossible in her career as an actor – successfully alternating between commercial and indie projects while establishing a reputation as one of her generation's fiercest talents. She's no stranger to horror films either, having starred in Zack Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake and David Cronenberg's eXistenZ, as well as the premiere episode of Friday the 13th: The Series. I caught up with Polley last week in Los Angeles, where she spoke about the challenges of playing genetics genius Elsa, the creature Dren's domineering "mother" in Splice; whether or not she'd be up for a sequel; and her thoughts on the horror genre in general. Hit the jump now to read our conversation.
On Elsa being an actor's dream role:
It was the best character I've ever read for a woman. I've never wanted to play a part that badly. What's great about her is there is something very human and damaged about her, but she also just goes to places where her sense of ambition and manipulation and drive is so overwhelmingly human. I think that's such an amazing thing to have to try and connect with and empathize with and play. It was a pretty amazing experience.
On playing an unsympathetic character:
I think that there aren't enough unsympathetic characters to play in movies generally. I think that there's this huge pressure – "How can we make what she does sympathetic?" Whenever you're making a film, the script notes are always about how to make people more sympathetic. But I think ultimately we all run into people in our lives that aren't at all. It's interesting to get to know why, but it's not necessarily interesting to make them likable. So I think we can understand why Elsa is the way she is. She's had a pretty neglectful, isolating childhood that she never dealt with, and instead, like many people do, she just tried to zoom out of it and make it go away by drowning it in ambition and achievement and accomplishment, and living life too fast. I think we can understand how she gets where she gets. But I don't think we have to like her all the time. [Laughs.]
On grounding her performance in a larger-than-life film:
I just think you have to believe everything. I think you have to never feel like you're playing a part. This film in so many ways is a kind of fairy tale, and as long as you don't think of it that way, it's important to keep grounded in the reality of where the character's coming from, and why she's doing what she's doing.
On Elsa's wanting to have a child (in Dren) when her partner, Clive, does not:
It's a weird thing, because in life he wants to have a child and she doesn't at all. But in terms of this creature I think also that has to do with being somewhat obsessed and needing control all the time. She doesn't want to have a real child. I think he sort of says that at the end. With this she feels it's a way of keeping it in the realm of experiment where she can have a certain degree of distance and control, but of course that doesn't work. And as soon as the child isn't giving unconditional love and being cute all the time, like many parents she finds it very difficult to deal with. But she's less equipped than some.
On preparing to play a "mother":
I don't have children of my own, but I have lots of friends who do have kids. And I know that's always a tricky moment when the "no" face begins, at two or three. Then the teenage phase is very often really challenging. Elsa goes through that with her child in the course of weeks, so there's no time to adjust to any of it. And she's kind of ill-equipped to be compassionate anyway. So I think that completely spins her out of control.
On whether or not she'd return for a sequel:
Possibly, yeah. I've talked to nobody about a sequel at this point, so I have no idea if that's something that's real or something that people are talking about. For the next year and a half to two years I'm making my own film, and then I have a documentary I'm working on, so I'm not sure if timing-wise it would work out. But obviously it's something I'd be open to talking about.
On her views of the film's genetic manipulation issue:
I tend to feel like scientific exploration and discovery has given the world a lot of great things and continues to. There's a lot of hope in what scientists do. I think that it's definitely preferable if that research takes place in a public system that's regulated, as opposed to private companies who are driven by profit. I don't think this would be happening even in a company that was private, because I think things are so closely monitored, and there is such scrutiny of what scientists do. I don't think that the science is completely crazy in this movie, but the idea that people could get away with it… I don't think we're at that point. Generally I'm someone who's supportive of stem-cell research and exploration and innovation and science. And I think that scientists by and large follow a pretty strict ethical code that's self-imposed as well as imposed by the outside world. But one of the elements I like in this movie is a lot of it is being driven by profit in a corporate culture; and I always think when you combine science or art with a corporate culture, things can get kind of muddied in terms of ethics and quality. [Laughs.]
On playing the type of part that would have been typically been written for a man:
The thing that was also thrilling about this role is it's always the guy who gets to be the mad, out-of-control scientist. In a way, when women are written as ambitious and manipulative and driven, it's always in this sort of Lady MacBeth sort of thing, where they're driving the guy to do something, as opposed to doing it themselves, and being slightly off-kilter and psychotic and ambitious and driven themselves. That's incredibly fun to play, and again very untraditional for a woman, especially in genre [or] sci-fi movies.
On how she picks here roles:
I think if it's a film I would go and see, then I want to be a part of it. That's my only criteria. Which is why a lot of the time I do independent films and then every now and then I do a genre movie or something that seems totally out of whack. It's because the only criteria I'm going by is, "Would I go and see it?" Not "I want to cast myself as this kind of actor in this kind of movie." I don't have any career plan ever. I just want to be in films that I think I would go and see.
On whether she has a special attraction to the horror genre:
Not at all. All I would say is I think when sci-fi movies or horror movies are good, they are transcendentally great. I think there are so many that are bad, and so generally it's not a genre that I gravitate towards. But the ones that work can talk about things in a way no other kind of film can. That's what's thrilling and exciting. So when I see a sci-fi movie or horror movie that's dealing with complex issues and is interesting and makes people talk, I absolutely want to be part of that. But as a genre, I think it falls short too often. I don't think people push themselves hard enough. Too often they're made in a commercial system where the primary goal is to be commercial, not interesting and good. I think ultimately, sci-fi and horror, if it works, it's got to be daring and bold and do things that people are very uncomfortable with when they're putting money into it. You're not necessarily always gonna get that made by a studio. That's what's great about this film – it was made independently, and didn't have a lot of fear and interfering around it, so it can push boundaries. Again, when these kinds of movies are great they're incredible. It's very rare that I want to be involved in one, but if I do I get probably more excited about it than anything else.
On the problem she sees with horror films:
The thing about horror movies is generally they're cheap to make. You don't have to have really interesting actors to sell them. People will go and see them. So it's kind of like the Toronto Maple Leafs – they're never a good team, because they're always sold out. People will have season tickets for the next five to fifty years if they never make it to the playoffs again. So what's the point in having a great team, right? [Laughs.] I think that horror films and sci-fi films get sold down the river in the same way that I do as a Leafs fan. People are always gonna buy tickets so why make them good? And I think that's really disrespectful to the audience. That's what I love about this film – it doesn't stop short and it puts a lot of intelligence into it, and it's not just riding on the fact that it's gonna be commercial. Which hopefully will make it more commercial… I read this great quote once, this film critic in Canada was saying, "It's possible to make a good movie that ends up being commercial. But if you make a movie and set out to be commercial, it's never gonna just happen to be good." Apocalypse Now is a movie that set out to be good, and it happened to be commercial. But there's too many movies now where it's the cart before the horse, trying to be commercial before interesting. Ultimately you might end up with a commercial film, but you're not gonna end up with a good film that way.
On the lines that Splice crosses:
My experience reading the script, every time I thought, "Wow, wouldn't it be so psychotic if they crossed that boundary. But they never will, because it's a movie" – ten pages later they did. It was like, "What it going on? Are they crazy?" Watching it at Sundance, it was funny watching a whole audience have the same response, literally gasping and gasping and gasping. And not just the gross-out shrieking, but really being astonished at where it was going. It's pretty hard to compute. I still can't compute what happens. It's a kind of weird denial. [Laughs.]
On the similarities she's noticed between director Vincenzo Natali and David Cronenberg, with whom she's also worked:
I think that, while Splice is totally its own movie and Vincenzo's creation and totally unique, I do think that he is following in the footsteps of David Cronenberg in a certain way in that they're both really interesting artists who are talking about things in a way that a lot of filmmakers aren't. And the style is so specific and so strange and innovative. Again, Cronenberg is someone I would point to as constantly pushing the envelope and taking things where you don't expect them to go; and who seems to be more concerned with making good films than commercial films, and some of them really work.
On the film's willingness to open itself up to misogyny charges in portraying a woman responsible for a man's downfall, and how that may be more permissible in an indie than in a mainstream Hollywood film:
It's interesting because someone brought that up about an hour ago. Someone said something about "Is it an anti-feminist film because the woman gets so out of control?" It's an interesting way of seeing it because I'd never thought of that before, and I think there is something valid to that, but at the same time I feel like we've seen many evil CEO's, like the one is this film, who happens to be female, and many out-of-control mad scientists who are like Elsa and just happen to be male. Maybe there's a certain liberation from thinking about those stereotypes – it happens to be a woman, and there's no stigma or comment on that. But it's interesting. I literally never thought about it, and I wonder why.

Gene Holloway is alive and for the second time in his colorful life people are shocked to hear it. Yes, that Gene Holloway. The man who at the height of his popularity and seemingly at the height of his riches was accused of torching his home and then "disappeared" in the Gulf of Mexico one night when he fell off his boat in 1981. Yes, that Gene Holloway–the man who was pronounced dead, only to be arrested for supposedly dealing drugs in Canada a few months later!
Joey Redner, the founder of the popular Cigar City Brewing and the son of one of Tampa's most infamous individuals, does not flinch when asked if he ever detested living in the shadow of the "Strip Club King."
Nicknamed "The First Lady of Cigars" for holding the highest ranking corporate position within the cigar industry–president of U.S. operations for Arturo Fuente Tobacco Company–Cynthia Fuente is constantly asked what it is like to be a woman in a "man's world" and how it feels to be a female pioneer in the tobacco industry.
Tampa Gangster Jimmy Velasco's "The List" exposed!
During the investigation of Velasco's murder, a "payoff list" was discovered that named elected officials, law enforcement officers and others who allegedly took money from Velasco in return for protection and favors. This list thrust Tampa's crooked ways into the national spotlight.
However, in February 1949, a grand jury declared the payoff list to be a fraud, made up to tarnish the good names of public officials. The names on the list were never exposed to the public and the list was then locked away so that no one would ever see it…until now.

Pros and Cons of Applying to Foreign Medical Schools
Research international options carefully to ensure a smooth transition back to the U.S.
For years, less competitive medical school applicants have been attracted to the more liberal admissions policies of medical schools in the Caribbean. Other applicants have been attracted to medical schools overseas for personal reasons, including simply wanting to explore a new culture. However, with a myriad of languages, laws, and curricula, it's hard to know what you're getting—especially if you plan on returning to the U.S. for residency.
What is the truth about applying to foreign medical schools? Consider both the pros and cons.
Pros: There are some distinct advantages to applying to foreign medical schools, particularly in the Caribbean.
1. Acceptance rates are higher than average. Many medical schools in the Caribbean accept a much higher percentage of applicants than schools in the U.S. As an example, the George Washington University School of Medicine (ranked 60th in the research field by U.S. News) accepted just 3.6 percent of all applicants in 2010, while the Ross University School of Medicine, on the Caribbean island of Dominica, accepted 38 percent of applicants that same year. For schools outside the Caribbean, acceptance rates vary considerably, as these typically taxpayer-funded schools tend to prefer their own nationals.
[See the rankings of the U.S. News Best Medical Schools.]
2. GPAs and MCAT scores are lower than average. For applicants with a blemish on their record, schools in the Caribbean can seem fairly enticing. Successful applicants to Wake Forest University in North Carolina, for example, had a mean GPA of 3.8 and a mean MCAT of 32 in the last admissions cycle, while those to St. George University in Grenada had an average GPA of 3.4 and MCAT of 27. As such, these schools can be a realistic option to consider for applicants with lower scores.
3. There are clinical rotation opportunities in the U.S. In many of the Caribbean schools, the first two years of basic science is done on their campuses overseas, while clinical rotations are done in U.S. hospitals, most commonly in the New York area. Though your home school is still overseas, you have the advantage of the same clinical exposure and opportunities as the hospitals' home medical students. Many past students cite this as an advantage in applying to U.S. residencies. Other overseas medical schools allow students U.S. clinical rotation opportunities, though usually on a more case-by-case basis.
[See the 10 most popular U.S. medical schools.]
Cons: There are some things you should be aware of when considering overseas schools.
1. Applying and matching to a U.S. residency can be more challenging. Though many international medical graduates successfully match into residency programs across the U.S., they do so at significantly lower rates than their U.S. graduate counterparts. In the 2011 match, 94.1 percent of U.S. senior medical students matched into a residency program, compared to 50 percent of U.S. graduates of foreign medical schools. Many schools in the Caribbean, however, state that a significant percentage of their graduates find positions outside the match.
On top of all that, there are additional paperwork requirements in order to apply. The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) has details on its website. Before applying, it would be wise to research each individual school's match success rate, as they may vary.

2. Grading systems can vary. While many U.S. medical schools have trended toward a variant of an Honors/Pass/Fail grading system, many medical schools overseas, including in the Caribbean, continue to use a traditional A-F system. Though all medical school curricula are challenging, some students may feel that such precise grading systems can sometimes add additional stress to an already competitive atmosphere.
3. Living in a different country / system can be challenging. This can be either a pro or a con, depending on your perspective. However, because many foreign medical schools popular with U.S. applicants tend to be located in developing countries, it's important to remember that many of the amenities of U.S. life may not be available. And if you're studying most of the day, this might be the time when you need those more than ever. Politics and weather differ, too—don't forget the 1983 coup in Grenada (St. George University) or the hurricanes.
Making the decision to apply overseas is tough. Whatever you decide, it is important to research your options carefully so your transition back to the U.S. is as smooth as possible.

On Oct. 15, the Richfield Springs Town Board voted, 3-2, against a 10-month moratorium on industrial land use permits that would allow a committee to review our long-outdated laws.
I cannot understand why the three women on the board voted against protecting our residents. Nearly every surrounding town has had the foresight to put a moratorium in place — especially since Article X of the PSC is law. It removes home rule, allowing the state to decide the siting of electric generation facilities, such as natural gas-fired generators, landfill gas recovery facilities, industrial wind turbines, and solid waste combustors.
So why wouldn't these women approve this moratorium? It's not as if the town would suffer from putting a hold on industrial land use permits for 10 months. There have been none in 10 months.
Mary Margaret Snyder promised us that if we voted for her, she would support us on fracking and wind turbines. Yet, when given the opportunity to do so, she turned her back on us. Why would these three vote against protecting the majority?
They must not have been listening during meetings when townspeople voiced their concerns over the health hazards of industrial wind turbines. They must not watch the news of our neighbors struggling with the issues of wind turbines and failed fracking wells. It is mind-boggling that they would not do everything in their power to prevent this from happening in our town. What's their agenda?
The next time you see Fran Enjem or Billy Seamon, thank them for their attempt to protect your rights. When you see Lori Bond, Bonnie Domion and Mary Margaret Snyder, ask them why they are not protecting you.

HERNDON — After a hard-fought 10-point win over Philipsburg-Osceola, Line Mountain (1-4, 0-4 Tri-Valley League) has seen a promising season slip away.
The Eagles, a perennial playoff contender, have lost four straight, three of which were by a combined eight points.
But maybe a Homecoming game against winless Halifax will help turn the season around.
The team is allowing 25.6 points per game while scoring 18.6 points per game.
The Eagles are also the most penalized team in the TVL with an average of 53.8 yards per game.
Senior Cory Warford has seven touchdowns on the year and is third in the TVL in rushing, averaging 131.4 yards per game.
Despite what the scoreboard says each week, Halifax (0-5, 0-4 TVL) coach Matt Maniskas says his team is continuing to show progress.
"We rushed for more than 150 yards against Millersburg and we threw for more than 100 yards against Williams Valley," he said. "The good thing is that, despite the fact we are losing, the kids have a great attitude, I love that about them. You are going to get a fight from them every game and they are going to fight for 48 minutes."
One area in which Maniskas wants to see the Wildcats improve, is special teams.
"Our special teams play has to get better," he said. "We gave up 35 points on special teams to Upper Dauphin in week three."
In seeing film of Line Mountain, Maniskas knows both teams are still trying to find their identity.
"Our play calling has evened out more and we are just going to try and play our game," he said. "If we can bring it together for 48 minutes, I know we can do something special."

Grizzlies play South Salem tonight in second game of holiday classic
Dec 14, 2012
News-Register Staff
The McMinnville boys basketball team couldn't overcome a slow start Monday vs. Oregon City and lost 49-41, ending a two-game winning streak.
Junior Gage Gubrud scored 13 points and had six assists for the Grizzlies (2-2), and Matt Long had 11 points and seven rebounds.
McMinnville beat Aloha in the first game of their holiday classic. Mac won 55-32. The Grizzlies play at 7:15 p.m. tonight vs. South Salem.
Crescent Valley and South Salem were scheduled to play at 5:45 p.m. Thursday in the Red Gym at McMinnville.
Monday vs. Oregon City, the Grizzlies started extremely slow, scoring eight points in the first quarter and four in the second quarter. The Pioneers scored 12 in the first period and 16 in the second period and led 28-12 at halftime.
"We did not play well in the first half," McMinnville coach Willie Graham said. "We didn't make them work for stuff. … Too many easy layups."
Graham said it wasn't that his team was playing bad on offense, it was that shots weren't falling coupled with the fact the Grizzlies weren't stopping the Pioneers on defense.
"We definitely have to put up more resistance on the defensive end," he said.
Mac played better in the second half. The Grizzlies out scored Oregon City 13-10 in the third quarter and 16-11 in the fourth quarter.
Bryce Anderson scored six points for the Grizzlies, and Blaine Parker scored six points and had six rebounds. Drew Spence scored three points and Blake Egli scored 2.
Graham said three players did not play Monday. Nick and Tanner Autencio, and Taylor Vicknair did not play because they were sick, Graham said.

Believe it or not, the Burton [ak] Tech Glove is actually quite tech despites its clean, low-profile look.

Design Features
- Unisex Glove - Please refer to the Men's Size Chart
DRYRIDE Softshell™ Fabric [5,000MM, 5,000G]
We offer DRYRIDE Softshells with various performance characteristics—some for warmth and waterproofing, others for maximum breathability during intense activity. DRYRIDE Softshells with waterproof ratings utilize a membrane laminated to the backside of the fabric, with fleece bonded to the membrane for enhanced warmth and comfort. DRYRIDE Softshells without waterproof ratings are engineered for enhanced breathability by increasing the level of air permeability.
Enhanced DWR Coating
The Durable Water-Repellent coating is formulated to break down the surface tension of any moisture that comes into contact with it—causing water droplets to bead up and roll off before they crash your party.
Brushed 220G Fixed Fleece Lining
Quick-drying, soft, and technical, our brushed fleece, microfleece, Sherpa fleece, and Teddy Bear fleece linings combine warmth and the ability to keep you dry in a low-bulk package.
Gnar Guard Leather Palm
Buttery soft and seriously supple, our Gnar Guard genuine leather combines maximum comfort with durable weatherproof/breathability. Mid-grab or full-crank, your hands will be pumped on the premium grip, feel, and flexibility.
Extended Length Storm Cuff
At the team's request the cuffs on all Burton [ak] styles are slightly longer to better protect your wrists from biting winds and blowing snow.
Ergonomic Pre-Curved Fit
The superior dexterity of this articulated fit means your hands will always be warm and nimble no matter what kind of action you get into. Featured on every single glove and mitt we make.

The Stylesetter
A cool straw hat gives off the kind of effortlessly chic vibe so many trendsetters love. The Stylesetter might reserve it for a beach vacation, but it also gives her everyday look a down-to-earth twist.
KARL Alycia Metal-Tipped Lace-Trimmed Cotton Collar ($105)
Of all our Gift Guide subjects, the Stylesetter is most willing to take sartorial risks. Present her with a striking accessory, like KARL's lacy collar, that might be a challenge for those with less adventurous sensibilities.
Proenza Schouler Bleached Mineral PS-J Jean Jacket ($495, 212.585.3200)
Every style maven owns a classic denim jacket, but Proenza Schouler's bleached cover-up is a cool-girl version that exudes '90s appeal.
Hermes Kelly Caleche Pure Perfume Jewel Spray ($110)
For the girl who is always one step ahead, there's Hermes' perfume lock. The signature silver lock is full of the house's classic fragrance, Caleche, and at .25 ounces is perfect for the stylish traveler.
Diane von Furstenberg Parker Mini Bag ($265)
Color-blocked purses were a runway mainstay for S/S 13, so help the Stylesetter stay ahead of the curve with Diane von Furstenberg's cross-body bag. It works for a multitude of occasions--an errand run, girls' night out, movie date--and adds a vibrant splash of color to any look.
Burberry Burnished Gold-Tone Fox Bracelet ($650)
Burberry's stunning bangle--an avant-garde update on a traditional gold stacker--taps into this season's animal trend.
Nicholas Kirkwood Blue/Black/Gold Patent Metallic Heels ($825, 646.559.5239)
If you really want to indulge the Stylesetter, go with Nicholas Kirkwood's glossy heels. Sleek and sophisticated, they'd make a gorgeous addition to her already enviable shoe collection.
Prada Cat Eye Acetate Sunglasses ($365)
There's no need to choose sensible frames for this girl. Instead, surprise her with retro-inspired sunglasses trimmed in pale pink and green, a detail she'd notice and fully appreciate.
3.1 Phillip Lim Trompe L'Oeil Corded Dress ($650)
A little edgy, a little feminine, this dress was made for the Stylesetter. Paired with sharp heels and a cropped moto jacket, it'll surely become her go-to frock for date nights or fashion fetes.--Tiffany Tse

'Language' is in Erfworld is similar to English on Earth, and more closely similar to Common in Dungeons and Dragons. It is the common language that units on all sides use to communicate.
It is possible that there is only one language spoken throughout Erfworld, so the name of that language is simply 'Language'.

SSIS Lookup transformation in T-SQL
08 Jul 2014
There is no equivalent to the SSIS Lookup transformation in T-SQL – but there is a workaround if you're careful. The big issue that you face is about the number of rows that you connect to in the Lookup. SQL Books Online (BOL) says: If there is no matching entry in the reference dataset, no ...

The College of Educational Enrichment To Graduate 46 Special Needs Students On December 1st
Spartanburg, S.C. - The College of Educational Enrichment, a joint partnership between the School of Education at University of South Carolina Upstate and the Charles Lea Center for Rehabilitation and Special Education, began in June 2006 to enable students with physical and mental disabilities to attend courses on the college campus in as close to a normal learning environment as possible.
"This has been one of our highly successful community partnership programs," said Dr. Charles Love, dean of the School of Education at USC Upstate. "It has been mutually beneficial to the Charles Lea Center student participants and to the USC Upstate teacher education students who have gained valuable field experiences working in the program."
On December 1 at 6:30 p.m., the program will graduate its first class of 46 students by presenting the students with an "Initial Degree of Educational Enrichment" for completing a minimum of five courses. The ceremony will be held at the University Readiness Center on the USC Upstate campus.
Since its inception, 223 students have participated in the four special interest courses offered each semester. The course offerings began with low-impact aerobics, computer skills, functional reading, using a newspaper, and exploring Spartanburg and were later developed to include the history of Spartanburg, current events, arts and crafts, art: painting and drawing, physical education, reading, and math.
"This program is successful only because of the truly caring commitment of the teaching staff, which includes Patti and Mike Hester, Pam Pace, Anna Hodge, Alice Lawson, Terri Phillips, Debbie Creech, and Ginger Powell," said Dr. Lori Tanner, assistant professor of education at USC Upstate.
For more information about the College of Educational Enrichment, contact Dr. Lori Tanner, assistant professor of education at USC Upstate, at 864-503-5636 or email@example.com.

For BlackBerry 10 developers, having the right tools in place to create the best apps possible is highly essential. Thus far, RIM has done a fantastic job with not only creating but also releasing the tools in a timely manner. The work isn't done yet though and they still have a few things to deliver. Luckily, all the SDKs and plans are still on track and here is what developers can look forward to over the next few months.
In addition to all of that fine goodness, RIM is also starting up the BlackBerry Got Game Port-a-Thon. If you're a developer, it's time to load up on some Red Bull and fire up the tools -- it's going to be an exciting next couple of months. If you're looking for some further details, make sure you check out the BlackBerry Dev Blog.

btw, you know... the countdown timer on the mainpage makes january 30th seem so far away : (
SDTRMG Nov 14, 2012 at 5:10 pm
I agree, it does make it seem like forever.
I'd like to see a mobile nation app make it to all the OS's, bb10 first of course
Couchpotato4life Nov 14, 2012 at 10:06 pm
I would like to see this too since it would make it nicer to keep track of all the sites and would go well with the passport idea they are using.
revil-0-316 Nov 14, 2012 at 6:29 pm
Agreed, I think in "weeks and days" will make it more likely acceptable (in months will be overkill) imo :-)
SDTRMG Nov 14, 2012 at 5:08 pm
Bb10 FTW
Seijuro Nov 14, 2012 at 5:16 pm
i really really want skype on bb 10, pretty please? ; )
Wilkerson4492 Nov 14, 2012 at 5:54 pm
What if we don't see Skye but we see BBM Video Chat that works with Skype so if you have a BB and BBM and your friends do not you can still video chat? Skype would be nice but this would work for me as well.
Seijuro Nov 14, 2012 at 6:09 pm
i really want skype-chat as well
there are quite a few apps i want/need, and others im really interested in
but for messaging/communication i really need facebook, whatsapp and skype on my phone
Rootbrian Nov 14, 2012 at 8:33 pm
Those apps are independent of RIM. The developers of those apps decide if they want them to be on BB10. If they aren't, it's NOT rim's fault.
Seijuro Nov 14, 2012 at 9:16 pm
well, that's pretty obvious
im 100% sure RIM tries/tried everything to get skype on BB 10, if it won't be supported...then fuck you, microsoft!
facebook confirmed, whatsapp obviously will be supported as well
so, please microsoft... don't be stupid for once!
steve911 Nov 14, 2012 at 10:46 pm
I agree. I think it would be in Microsoft's best interest to have Skype on BB10. How valuable does RIM consider Skype on BB10? Enough to give MS access to BBM? That would be a very interesting situation. What affect would that have on Apple and Android, if any?
Kandoo-BB Nov 14, 2012 at 10:39 pm
Thanks Mr state the obvious, care to share some more profound wizdumb? ;)
kupfernigk Nov 15, 2012 at 5:42 am
The owner of Skype has a badly received phone platform that is competing with RIM. Microsoft will do Skype for BB only when they admit that Windows Phone 8 is a turkey. That could take some time. (Pride, flying monitors and chairs).
Jerky223 Nov 15, 2012 at 7:47 am
Wish they could be sued with an Anti-Trust suit then.
I know it's not possible, but I can wish.
SilkySunshine Nov 14, 2012 at 8:34 pm
I like that idea - one video chat app instead of two or three. One app to rule them all, if you will. :-D
Roweazie Nov 14, 2012 at 5:47 pm
Its looking great.
peterallcdn Nov 14, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Does anyone know what "Gamepad" is?
Edit: From BerryReview "RIM is adding Native API's for HID Gamepad support – In other words we are talking Bluetooth joysticks!" Sweet! That's what I was hoping it meant. So many games would be a lot better with a physical gamepad.
Couchpotato4life Nov 14, 2012 at 10:09 pm
That is what i am looking forward to the most! Would play so many more games if they implemented this.
It's raining BlackBerry goodness! Wonder if the Dev Alpha will get an update along with the SDK as well ^_^
greatwiseone Nov 15, 2012 at 2:40 am
Think new Dev Alpha OS update will come with the BB Hub. Hopefully we'll get it around Jam Asia this month.
BB_Bmore Nov 14, 2012 at 6:50 pm
Typed from my BlackBerry PlayBook by way of 50 inch screen...Just saying BlackBerry FTW.
BaconMunch Nov 14, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Loving the clarity and hard dates! GoRIMGo!
kill_9 Nov 15, 2012 at 4:41 am
And delays will have the media pouncing on another failure to deliver. If these dates are not guaranteed, RIM just bought itself a world of hurt. As it stands with 30 January 2013 as the official launch event for BlackBerry 10 the deadlines are turning into drop dead dates for everything surrounding BlackBerry. They have 2.5 months before announcing public availability of the new devices; seems an eternity in the technology world and to keep the minds of potential buyers engaged. If there is no marketing beginning in early December we face BlackBerry PlayBook redux. Just saying...
Rootbrian Nov 14, 2012 at 8:34 pm
Developers can celebrate!
kill_9 Nov 15, 2012 at 4:43 am
And users too!
Jimcmf Nov 14, 2012 at 11:11 pm
Our company just bought a wack full of PlayBooks today.
Everyone just loves them. They are so excited ..... I don't think that they will be able to sleep tonight.
playbookster Nov 15, 2012 at 12:10 am
That's awesome :)
My brother-in-Laws firm purchased 15 a month ago which surprised me as he is an Apple guy. I asked him why and he said I tired of paying too much for $hit that breaks. There you go.
Jimcmf Nov 15, 2012 at 12:09 am
The shorts are going to get the crap squeezed out of them comes BB10.
kill_9 Nov 15, 2012 at 4:31 am
Once BlackBerry OS 10 and the next-generation smartphones are released I will start using the BlackBerry 10 SDK. Hopefully, the BlackBerry PlayBook gets BlackBerry 10 within a few months at most of the release of the first BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

College of Veterinary Medicine
Texas A&M University
College Station, Texas
A comprehensive weight-loss program that returns overweight dogs to optimal body weight and body condition can improve osteoarthritic dogs' ability to move more normally. In a study conducted at Texas A&M University, moderately overweight to obese dogs lost weight through a combination of a weight-management diet and increased exercise. Based on force-plate gait analysis, the dogs exerted significantly more force on each limb and moved more quickly. The abstract below, published in the proceedings of the 2000 Purina Nutrition Forum, provides additional details.

Valpo Returns to Hardwood Sunday at Akron
Related Links
Saturday, December 26, 2009
Valparaiso at Akron - Sunday, December 27, 2009 - 1 p.m. CST
The Matchup: Valparaiso takes on its final non-league foe for nearly two months on Sunday afternoon, traveling to Ohio to take on Akron in a return game from last year's BracketBusters matchup.
Knocking Down Shots: Valpo connected on exactly 50% (25-for-50) of its shots from the floor against IPFW on Tuesday, continuing its recent trend of sharp shooting. After hitting half their shots or better in just two of their first six games of the year, the Crusaders have hit at a .500 or better clip in five of their last six contests. With their recent success hitting from the field, Valpo now leads the Horizon League in field goal percentage at .476.
Division I Scoring Record: Since Valparaiso made its move to the Division I ranks in the late 1970's, the Crusaders have had a number of players who could fill up the scoring column. Names like Lubos Barton, David Redmon, Casey Schmidt, Tracy Gipson, Raitis Grafs, Dan Oppland and of course Bryce Drew reside atop the Crusaders' career points and points per game charts. None of them, however, have scored as many points in a single game as Brandon Wood did Nov. 27 at Georgia Southern. Wood connected on 13-of-18 from the floor, including three 3-pointers, and 10-of-12 from the foul line to score a Valpo Division I record 39 points, also setting a new Legends Classic single-game scoring mark.
Wood Scores in Bunches...: Redshirt sophomore guard Brandon Wood has proven to be among the most prolific scorers the Crusaders have seen in their D-I history, scoring 30 or more points twice already to join Bryce Drew and Dan Oppland as the only players in the last 15 years to score 30 multiple times in a career. Wood, who currently paces the Horizon League with 20.5 points/game and also ranks third in the league in field goal percentage, also has reached at least 20 points on five other occasions, including a game-high 23 last time out at IPFW.
