Spring 2014 Undergraduate Schedule | Spring 2014 Graduate Schedule
Registrar's Office
The Registrar's Office is responsible for registering all students for classes, whether those classes are offered on the main campus, off campus or online. The Registrar's Office also assists in the scheduling of classes and in the assignment of classrooms. Additionally, the experienced and skilled professionals in the Office regularly answer a variety of questions about degree programs, faculty, and courses. The Office also evaluates transfer credits and ensures that all student records are maintained in compliance with FERPA and College policies and procedures.
Registrar's Office Policies:
Requests for official transcripts are processed by the Registrar's Office. We require our Transcript Request Form to be used when requesting an official transcript. This form can be obtained either by phone or by e-mail. The information we need is the current address of the student, as well as the SS# in order to check our records. If the student owes money to the Library, the Bursar, the Registrar and/or has defaulted on a student loan, the official transcript will not be sent.
Students may apply for program changes for valid reasons at the beginning of a semester. To change a program, students are required to secure the approval of their academic advisor, complete an official Change of Program Request, pay the designated fee in the Bursar's Office, and file the completed form in the Registrar's Office. Such changes are not recorded on the transcript, and no change of program may be made after the first week of a semester.
Courses may be repeated once where a grade of "F," "WU," "D+" or "D" has been earned. In such cases, the higher grade will be computed in the student's grade point average (G.P.A.) and the lower grade will remain on the transcript without credit or without being computed in the cumulative G.P.A. Students who fail to earn a passing grade in a required course after two attempts may be required to withdraw from a program of study.
Students who have interrupted their studies for any length of time without having been approved for a "Leave of Absence" or who do not resume their studies at the expiration of a "Leave of Absence" are deemed to have surrendered their matriculated status.
Students who have lost their matriculated status in this manner, or who have previously been dismissed from the College for any reason, must file an "Application for Readmission" if they seek to return to the College. Unless permission is otherwise granted, readmitted students are governed by the College Catalog in publication at the time of readmission.
Students who find it necessary to withdraw from the College are required to notify their academic advisor in writing of the reason(s) for withdrawal and complete the required Withdrawal Form. This form is available in the Registrar's Office.
Failure to carry out the clearance procedures contained in the form will result in the withholding of all student records. Transcripts, information, and/or employment references will not be furnished until the Withdrawal Form has been completed and official withdrawal status has been granted.
Official withdrawal status is based on the date of receipt and approval of a completed Withdrawal Form and not on the last date of attendance.
Students who withdraw from the College will receive grades in accordance with the procedures detailed above under Withdrawal From Courses. Returning students must file an Application for Readmission and will be required to satisfy the degree requirements set forth in the most recent College Catalog.
Students who find it necessary to withdraw from a course or courses are required to notify their academic advisors, secure their approval, and complete the necessary forms. Program change fees must be paid the Bursar's Office and the completed forms must be presented to the Registrar's Office before a student can be considered officially withdrawn from a course or courses.
Students may withdraw from courses without penalty until the last day of class. During this time period, they will receive a "W," which is not computed in their grade point average (G.P.A.).
A student who has not filed an official Withdrawal Form and who has been excessively absent will be assigned a grade of "WU" (Unofficial Withdrawal), which is equivalent, to an "F" grade.
Students who find it necessary to take a temporary leave of absence from their program of study must file a "Leave of Absence Application" and seek approval of the Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Committee. Recipients of financial aid, in the form of grants, scholarships, or loans, are reminded that a Leave of Absence does not in and of itself constitute a waiver of the College's Standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress. A waiver must be applied for separately in accordance with published College policy.
Students applying for a Leave of Absence for a semester in progress are cautioned to consult with the Financial Aid Office before making application. A Leave of Absence may be granted for one or two semesters depending upon the circumstances. Returning students may be required to demonstrate continued proficiency in their major field.
All Five Towns College students are provided with an official email address when they initially register at the College. Students are expected to check their Five Towns College email regularly for official notices and other important information.
Students will be deemed to have received notifications from the College whenever these notifications arrive in a student's email account. Students should not depend upon the delivery by the United States Postal Service of most of the College's official notifications. In addition, the College does not make accommodations to deliver email notifications to non-Five Towns College email addresses, such as @yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, @gmail.com, etc.
Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a college may designate certain information about its students as "Directory Information." Such information is defined as data for a specific student that may be released to the public (e.g., in newspapers, college publications, website pages) without that student's permission, unless the student completes a written request that her/his information not be released to the public.
The information Five Towns College identifies as "Directory Information" is listed below:
- Student's Name
- Student's Enrollment Status (i.e., the student is or is not currently an enrolled student at the College)
- Student's Program of Study (i.e., B.F.A. Film/Video, B.P.S. Business Management)
- Honors and Awards Received (e.g., Dean's Honor List, Valedictorian, Phi Sigma inductee)
- Graduation Status (e.g., Student graduated in 2009 with a BFA degree in Film/Video)
- Photographs, Videotapes & Audiotapes Without Any Personally Identifiable Information
Five Towns College will not release any student contact information, such as a phone number, email address or home address, or other types of information on a student without that student's specific written authorization.

It's safe to say Dave Chappelle is a fan of The Underground.
The comedian and former "Chappelle's Show" star hung out at the club following his appearance at Sunday's Aahh! Fest in Union Park. Chappelle was spotted at The Underground on back-to-back nights in August 2012.
On Friday, Chappelle took in J Rocc's DJ set at Soul Summit at Double Door.
Elsewhere in Chicago, "The Godfather: Part II" co-stars Robert De Niro and Gianni Russo dined Sept. 14 at Abruzzo's Italian Restaurant in Melrose Park. Sophia Bush ("Chicago PD") visited the Cafe Bustelo pop-up cafe in Wicker Park Sept. 14. Eamonn Walker ("Chicago Fire") dined Sept. 14 at Chez Moi.

"Idol's Eye" – which stars Robert Pattinson ("Twilight") and Robert De Niro ("Silver Linings Playbook") -- is scheduled to film in Toronto Oct. 22-Dec. 22, according to a spokesperson for the Toronto Film, Television and Digital Media Office.
Why am I telling you about a movie that will be filming in Canada?
Because director Olivier Assayas told the Hollywood Reporter in May that "Idol's Eye" would most likely shoot in Chicago. The mob drama revolves around a robbery gone wrong and is based on a true story that took place in Chicago.
"I can't really discuss it much because it's not locked or finalized, but my next film will be in the U.S.," Assayas told the Hollywood Reporter. "We are shooting in Chicago … If everything goes according to plan, it should be shooting by late fall."
Reached for comment in May, Chicago Film Office director Rich Moskal said he could not confirm "Idol's Eye" would shoot in Chicago. Moskal said via email Friday "We have no new info on when or where 'Idol's...Read more
Phillip Phillips expected to gain about 10 pounds Saturday.
Not only was the former "American Idol" winner performing at the first ever Food Network in Concert at Ravinia in Highland Park — which featured Food Network personalities and about 50 chefs serving samples of their food — but it also happened to be his 24th birthday. He gave himself free rein to pig out.
"I'm going to eat all day and try so many different things," Phillips said Saturday. "I'm going to get some dessert, then more dessert and then eat more food."
There was some occasional light rain throughout the day, but the conditions were still significantly better than the ones Phillips experienced while filming his music video for "Raging Fire" outdoors in Chicago in March.
"That's why I'm wearing a coat in the video," Phillips said.
John Mayer, who Phillips opened for on the "Born and Raised" tour, headlined Food Network in Concert, hosted by Food Network Magazine. The festival benefited Share Our Strength's No Kid...Read more
Jared Allen isn't kidding when he says he's a family man now.
The colorful Bears defensive end and his wife Amy took their soon-to-be-three-year-old daughter to Disney on Ice Presents Princesses and Heroes September 11 at the United Center. According to the photo tweeted out by Disney on Ice producers Feld Entertainment, Allen and his family met "Cinderella" while at the show.
Amy recently gave birth to the couple's second daughter.
Elsewhere around town, NASCAR driver Danica Patrick visited Drumbar in the Raffaello Hotel Sunday. Olympic gold medalist swimmer Conor Dwyer had lunch Thursday at Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse-Chicago.

The newest burger at The Squared Circle is inspired by the one behind the one in 21-1.
The Paul Heyman burger – which is stuffed with Swiss cheese and topped with pastrami, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing on a rye bun – is named after WWE personality and ECW founder Paul Heyman. The Squared Circle will debut the burger and screen Heyman's new documentary "Ladies and Gentlemen, My Name is Paul Heyman" Sept. 27.
Restaurant co-owner and pro-wrestler Lisa Marie Varon (known as Victoria during her WWE run) mentioned the possibility of a Heyman burger last October. After she tweeted, "Do you think @HeymanHustle would come to @theSQDcircle if we named a burger after him?" Heyman tweeted back "If it was a PASTRAMI BURGER, absolutely. And you'd have to feed it to me PERSONALLY!"
That explains the pastrami.
"The jumping off point was that he said he'd eat anything with pastrami," Varon said via email Wednesday. "So as a tribute to him, we went the Jewish soul food route and put a...Read more
You can call this version of Shaquille O'Neal "Shaqasso."
The retired four-time NBA Champion – who gave himself the nickname, as he is known to do – appeared Thursday at Expo Chicago at Navy Pier to discuss the exhibit he curated with the Flag Art Foundation. The exhibit is called "Shaq Loves People" and features work from various artists that will be on display and for sale Friday through Sunday.
"I think it's fabulous," said O'Neal, sporting a black baseball hat with "Shaqago" on it. "We have some pictures that are heartfelt, some pictures that are just everyday, fun-filled life. We have some where you can really see the creative thinking of the artist."
The piece that really caught O'Neil's eye was a photo of an African-American Orthodox Jew by Wayne Lawrence. Initially, he was worried the photo made a mockery of the religion but was assured that African-American Orthodox Jews do exist. He also was intrigued by a young woman's mugshot – which O'Neal referred to as "the one who looks...Read more
"Nuestra Belleza Latina" needs pretty people.
Univision's beauty pageant series will hold a casting call for the ninth season of the show Saturday at Hotel Chicago in the Near North neighborhood. The requirements? You must be a Spanish-speaking female between the ages of 18-28 years old and be willing to live in a house in Miami with the other contestants for the duration of your run on the show. And in case it's not clear in the show's title, which it might not be because the title is in Español, you need to be attractive.
"Nuestra Belleza Latina" (Our Latin Beauty) judges Osmel Sousa and Jomari Goyso and novela actor Mane de la Parra are scheduled to attend the audition.

Are you ready to gorge? I can't hear you, Chicago. I said, ARE YOU READY TO GORGE?
Food Network Magazine's first annual Food Network in Concert takes place Saturday at Ravinia in Highland Park and will not only treat guests to music from John Mayer, Phillip Phillips and Twin Forks (featuring Dashboard Confessional's Chris Carrabba), among others, but also a full day of food from Food Network personalities and around 50 chefs. The music-themed tasting event will include over 100 wineries.
Because of the pairing of food and music at Food Network in Concert, I asked some of the Food Network personalities and chefs taking part to name their favorite musicians. The following responses were edited and condensed:
Amanda Downing (Rockit Bar & Grill, Rockit Burger Bar)

It doesn't sound like Garth Brooks was too worn out Sunday from his string of concerts at the Allstate Arena.
Just hours before taking the stage for the last of his 11 Allstate Arena shows, the 52-year-old Brooks – on tour for the first time since the 90s – brought his band and road crew to iFLY in Rosemont. The indoor skydiving facility uses a vertical wind tunnel to simulate the skydiving experience. Brooks "was a natural and caught on to flying right away," according to an iFLY spokesperson.
Following Thursday's show, Brooks rented out Kings Rosemont bowling alley in Rosemont. He was joined by his wife and fellow country singer Trisha Yearwood and his band and road crew. The party included pizza from Giordano's.
The Cure's Robert Smith and Roger O'Donnell dined Saturday at RPM Steak before performing Sunday at Riot Fest in Humboldt Park. Fellow Riot Fest headliner and Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell also dined at RPM Steak on Saturday before performing at Chicago Gateway...Read more
Kristin Cavallari knows exactly what she wants to do with her career. The former "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills" star and mother of two just might have to wait a few years before she does it.
Cavallari said Tuesday during a Michigan Avenue magazine party at the W Chicago Lakeshore hotel — which celebrated her appearance on the cover of the September issue — that she hopes her future is in TV hosting once her children are older.
What kind of show would she like to host?
"I was just hosting a show for E! called 'The Fabulist,' which is about all the latest trends in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, which was a ton of fun," said Cavallari, who was joined by husband and Bears star Jay Cutler. "Anything in the fashion world, I'm into. I think it would be great, though, to be on a younger-type 'View' where I can give my opinions on all sorts of things, rather than just what the trend of the week is. Something like that would be a ton of fun.
"At the same time it's hard now with two little kids...Read more
During the superlatives bit on "The Tonight Show," host Jimmy Fallon cracks yearbook-inspired "Most likely to…" jokes based on a person's head shot. The bit focused on NBC's "Sunday Night Football" match-up this week, which meant the butt of the jokes were Bears and San Francisco 49ers players.
Fallon joked on Friday that the Bears' Jay Cutler was voted "Emptiest inside" due to his expressionless photo. The Bears' Roberto Garza was voted "Most likely to make a 'throat slice' motion if you beat him at Scrabble." Fellow Bear Matt Forte? Fallon named him "Most likely to pose for an R&B album cover with a rose in his mouth." (That was probably my favorite one. Sorry, Forte.)
The Bears' runningback caught wind of the bit and decided to come up with his own superlatives for Fallon.
"I saw the late night superlatives last night. Pretty good James. Now it's my turn lol," Forte tweeted, before joking Fallon was "most likely to be an extra in a Christian (Mingle) commercial" and "most likely to...Read more
Riot Fest really went out of its way to make Gwar feel at home this year.
The three-day music festival in Humboldt Park not only features 130 bands (including costumed metal band Gwar), but also a haunted house from Zombie Army Productions. Why a haunted house?
Have you seen the demographic that goes to Riot Fest? They're exactly the sort of people I see in line at haunted houses. There's a reason so many haunted houses blast rock in the waiting areas.
The theme of Riot Fest's haunted house, Container 9, is sort of "Jurassic Park"-meets-"Walking Dead." Guests take a tour of a zombie research center where all hell has broken loose. Container 9 staff try to give a sense that everything is under control, which was pretty funny and creative. One female employee was holding down a rabid zombie against a bed. She smiled nervously and reassured guests everything was fine. The security TVs throughout the tour showed otherwise: You could see zombies dining on employees.

In the Line of Fire
POSTED: 25 November 2011
CHELSEA slumped to their second straight loss at Stamford Bridge and the rumour mills quickly ground to point that Blues manager Ander Villas-Boas could be on the firing line.
Could the defeat serve as the start of pressure-mounting results that could lead to the Portuguese becoming the first Premier League coach to be sacked this season?
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is a notoriously known trigger-happy when it comes to showing the exit door to his under-performing managers. He has sacked others before and with the way things are going on right now for the Blues, he might just be reawakened to axe somebody else again.
But Villas-Boas appeared to be unshaken by that setback and told the media that he is not under threat even if their skid continues. He vowed to fight on for his team.
The Portuguese might have put up a brave front by insinuating there's no cause for alarm yet but Abramovich may now have other things in his mind after the Blues took another hit last Wednesday.
Villas-Boas found himself mired in deeper rut as the Blues tumbled again, conceding a last-minute goal and bowing to Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 in the Champions League. Just like that, Chelsea are now in danger of being ousted from the last 16 of the tournament since Abramovich bought the club eight years ago.
If Villas-Boas does not turn in positive results for the Blues, the Russian tycoon may soon be short-fused and contemplate on looking for another man who can guide his team to the right path.
Yet despite the dark clouds currently hovering at the Bridge, Villas-Boas said it is not the question of Abramovich having patience. He boasted that the Russian did not pay 15 million euros to hire him from Porto only to spend another fortune to kick him out.
Only five months into his post, Villas-Boas believes that he has enough talent to vie in all competitions, taking that as the perspective that binds them together at the moment.
He also admitted losing 0-1 to Liverpool and having been passed by the Reds in the standings at the same time was a bad blow and that the situation in the league is not good for them. However, he insisted they can still turn things around although Chelsea had stumbled to a sluggish start in the league in the past decade.
But for how long can Abramovich withstand seeing his outfit take more beating?
Villas-Boas must solve the mystery of their floundering defence which has conceded numerous goals lately. He said he trusts his backline unit and stressed they have the means to resolve the situation.
The Blues are currently 12 points off the lead. Evidently, confidence is low and they must make up fopr lost grounds in their December outings to get within range otherwise, a bleak start of the coming year awaits them.
Villas-Boas must not run away from his responsibilities, so huge that all eyes were on him when he inherited a squad seen as already in decline.
But having lost three games (two at home) in their last five outings is already alarming at this point.
Judging from their previous performances, the Blues lacked width and cohesion. The starting lineup looked shaky. And why is Fernando Torres not given ample time to play, limiting him to a substitute's role, as when he was fielded against the Reds looking like a helpless, fumbling kid.
Villas-Boas, who replaced Carlo Ancelotti as the seventh manager in eight years for Chelsea, may not be worried about Abramovich firing him but he must realise that the Russian does not care losing quite a few millions just to satisfy his caprice, in this case to see Chelsea lifting another major trophy.
While hinting at the moment that he is firmly behind the team manager, Abramovich won't also mind at all to sack Villas-Boas if his strategy does not work wonders for the Blues. This is the Premier League and Villas-Boas is not coaching Porto anymore. He is now in a different, higher level of football and must grasp that one big mistake would abruptly make the Russian fume mad.
Abramovich's patience would be put to another test as he waits how his team would perform in their coming fixtures.
From the looks of it, a Chelsea overhaul could be on the way, starting probably with Villas-Boas, if things are not addressed properly and checked on time. Results in the Premier League and the Champions League could decide the fate of the young Portuguese bench tactician, who suffered another blow on Wednesday when he was fined 12,000 pounds by the Football Association following his comments against the referee who officiated Chelsea's league game against Queen's Park Rangers last month.
And like a vulture getting ready for the swoop, Guus Hiddink, the Dutch who steered Chelsea to the FA Cup success in 2009 during his short stint as interim coach, is knocking on the door and he could be a possible candidate as manager.
The 34-year-old Villas-Boas may be showing a newcomer's jitters as far the league is concerned. As for his players, David Luiz is looking more of a liability at defence. John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba may have been slowed down by age, while Torres remains inconsistent. The form of Florent Malouda and Nicolas Anelka may have been declining, too.
The coming December assignments would be crucial for the Blues. This will be a make-or-break stretch for Chelsea and of course Villas-Boas.
If the Blues don't get satisfying results, Abramovich may be ready to unload another boatload of cash in his search for the right chemistry for his squad.

CAMBRIDGE, Md. - It's that time again. "Meet The Money Givers" is back for the fourth year in a row, and with all new scholarship opportunities for students interested in higher learning.
Every Wednesday and Saturday, WMDT's Alyana Gomez introduces you to a local organization eager to help our youth succeed.
To kick off the three-month long segment, WMDT would like to introduce the Friends of Blackwater.
The Blackwater Wildlife National Refuge in Cambridge has over 29,000 acres of natural beauty. An opportune place for various outdoor activities, and quite the experience for an educational adventure.
"The kids get hands-on experience. They go out in the marsh, they do habitat studies, GPS orienteering and everything is provided by the Friends of Blackwater," said board member, Wolf Hehm.
For five years, they've been opening their doors to 4th and 6th graders in Dorchester County, with a passion for nature. For the second time, they're opening their wallets to college-goers living in all nine counties on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
"It's for students who are currently entering their third or fourth year of college or entering a grad program for environmental studies or environmental sciences," said Hehm.
There are three scholarships at $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000 each. Financial need and a 3.0 GPA is a must.
Jesica West of Dorchester County is last year's winner, who's now studying at McDaniel College.
This time around, that big check could be yours. The deadline for this scholarship is March 15th. For more information, head to our homepage and click on the DEF Logo.

Thursday June 6, 2013
For Immediate Release:Louisville Metro CouncilContact; Tony Hyatt 574-4137 / 526-3622 STephen Haag 574-1204 / 645-1752Louisville – By a vote of 16 to 3, the Louisville Metro Council has approved an ordinance to purchase the Colonial Gardens property for $430,000. This move allows Metro Louisville to issue a RFP for development for the property.
The vote came after weeks of discussion by Council members and the Fischer Administration.
"Many of us want the Colonial Gardens property to be developed. It is an important corner across from the Iroquois Amphitheater and can complement the neighborhood with positive development" said Councilwoman Marianne Butler (D-15) who chairs the Council's Budget Committee. "Moving quickly to get the RFP on the street gets developers talking and thinking about the possibilities. With the revitalization of the amphitheater, we need a place people can enjoy a meal and go across the street for entertainment."
The property has been the subject of economic development conversations and neighborhood concerns for several years. The building has landmark status and has been reviewed by some developers.
"Colonial Gardens is in my district and I am proud that a building that has been vacant since 2007 is being dealt with positively," said Councilman Dan Johnson (D-21).
"When running for office I promised my constituents I would work to develop the property. I am appreciative of the Mayor and his economic development team for being such great partners as we continue to improve South Louisville together," Councilman David Yates (D-25). "While it has been a bumpy road we are very excited about the commitment to this shared goal."
The city can now exercise its option to buy the property before June 11th. Economic Innovation and Growth officials with the city hope to close by June 26th. The city will then send out Request For Proposals to gauge developer interest.
"Although I am disappointed the city must incur this cost to assist with development of Colonial Gardens, I am glad we are moving in a positive direction on this blighted property that sits across from our beautifully renovated Iroquois Amphitheater," said Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch (D-13). "The recently completed New Cut Road Corridor Study indicates that the development of Colonial Gardens is a key to future economic development in South Louisville. I believe this will spark future development along the New Cut/Taylor Blvd corridor."
"Regardless of where you land on the issue of preservation, we all agree that this corner is a critical piece of the redevelopment efforts for South and Southwest Louisville. This project needs to be done and done well," said Councilman Rick Blackwell (D-12).
The tentative timeline has the proposals due back by the end of July. After reviewing and rating the proposals, the city will negotiate with the prospective developer to come to an agreement. Any development agreement will come back to the Metro Council for approval.
The Ordinance will also include a provision against unjust enrichment of the developer to the detriment of Taxpayer. There is also a provision that prior to the transfer of the property whether by gift, loan, lease or otherwise the proposed transaction will come back to the Council's Budget Committee for approval.

Q: I had to take my daughter to the dermatologist after she developed a rash on her arms and chest. When the doctor told me it was ringworm she got from our pets, I couldn't believe it. Our dogs are so clean and healthy. What am I doing wrong?
A: Your dermatologist is not necessarily correct. In in cases where other dogs and humans in the household have no lesions, it's likely that the single infected person or animal picked up ringworm from the environment (soil is a prime culprit).
Ringworm is not caused by worms. Rather, this common skin infection is caused by a fungus but it's commonly called "ringworm" as a result of the characteristic ring-like lesions. The fungus Microsporum canis invades the superficial layers of the skin, hair or claws.
Because it thrives in moist environments, the fungus is especially persistent in humid climates and damp surroundings such as South Florida backyards. Ringmworm is readily transmitted from animals to humans and vice versa. (Kittens are notorious for their susceptibility.)
While symptom-free dogs are an unlikely source of infection, it is possible that one or more of your dogs is a carrier. To sort it out, your veterinarian can perform a simple fungal culture on each pet and examine their skin under ultraviolet light. Neither test is 100 percent effective, but it should give you peace of mind. So might treating your pets with topical dips or shampoos just in case.
The good news is that ringworm infections in healthy humans and pets are self-limiting, meaning that three months from now this infection will likely be a distant if unsavory memory.

The firm of Rodriguez & Quiroga Architects, which is marking its 30th year, has long enjoyed a reputation as one of Miami's premier studios for its versatility and its technical and design chops.
The firm's architects are now tackling what principal Raul Rodriguez says is easily the most complex building ever attempted in South Florida: the new Miami Science Museum, which is under construction in downtown Miami's Museum Park.
Rodriguez & Quiroga is associate architect to Britain's Grimshaw, the design firm. That means the locals must sweat the nitty-gritty details of the high-tech, $275-million project, which includes a new planetarium, an aquarium and a panoply of built-in, eco-friendly elements.
Even before that, the Coral Gables-based firm had left an extensive imprint on South Florida, where its practice has focused on civic and collegiate buildings. Rodriguez has been its sole principal since co-founder Tony Quiroga retired a decade ago. Another original partner, Jorge Khuly, left in 1988 to go into practice with his wife, architect Maggie Khuly.
Equally conversant in traditional and modern styles, the firm has long been one of Miami-Dade College's go-to architects, responsible for numerous MDC academic and athletic facilities as well as two compact urban campuses — Homestead and Interamerican in Little Havana. It also has designed buildings at Florida State, Florida International, Florida Atlantic and several private schools, including the University of Miami.
The firm's range has extended from federal courthouses in Miami and Jacksonville to the main terminal at Miami International Airport, a 20-year improvement project that only recently wound up. Rodriguez & Quiroga also served as executive architect to Cesar Pelli's firm at another highly complex project, the Arsht Center for the Performing Arts. It also developed a sideline in the restoration of historic buildings, including the Freedom Tower and Ponce de Leon Middle School in Coral Gables.
Two long-stalled Rodriguez & Quiroga designs may now be nearing realization: a classically inspired city hall for Homestead and the Cuban Museum just off Coral Way.
We sat with Rodriguez in the Le Corbusier LC-series chairs at his Coral Gables office, where he told us how the firm has thrived in a notoriously cyclical, fickle field, and why he's nowhere near ready for retirement.
Q: How did the firm get its start?
A. Tony and I were together at what was then Ferendino Grafton Spillis Candela. And the firm brought us in as partners when they changed to Spillis Candela and partners. I guess the easiest way to say it is that we didn't like the terms. We would have had to sign a long-term noncompete agreement. And I was 35. What I thought at the time was, we must all leave the nest sometime. So we decided to strike out on our own.
Time has proven that we were right.
Q: How did you go about setting up the firm?
A. First of all, you had to go out and seek work. We didn't leave with three contracts under our belt. So you very humbly, hat in hand, visit people that know you professionally. Those who chose to support us were obviously taking a risk; the fact that you can do [the work] nside of a large firm doesn't guarantee that you can do it on your own. The most important thing that I remember, once we had some work coming in, was asking Tony, 'Who should we hire?' And he said something which I've never forgotten. He said, 'Raul, let's hire responsible people. The rest we can train.' And that remains a criteria that we use when we are hiring.
Q: What was your first project?
A. Our very first project was St. Thomas University Law School, which was awarded to us by [then-president] Father Pat O'Neill. We had done a bulding for Father Pat, which was the library, when were at the old firm. He heard that we were on our own. He actually sought us out.
There were other firsts. The very first complex project that we were awarded was the federal justice building in downtown Miami. And that's when we brought Jim Palma into the firm. Jim went to UM with me . We had brought him over to the old firm. And he had worked with Tony before, so it was a perfect fit. He's the one who has been our man at MIA for over 20 years, where we've been working on this terminal-wide project. He was also the project manager for the performing arts center whem we worked with Cesar Pelli. And he's currently the project manager on the Miami Science Museum with Grimshaw. So he was a key person that we brought on.
There was another (key) individual, Ivan Bibas, who has been with us 29 years. Ivan has been the project manager for our work with Miami Dade College, which has been extensive. They are our best clients. We've always had something with the college to work on. They give you a lot of design freedom, which is not common. They don't come with a style stamp. As long as you meet the budget and the program requirements, which are very specific and detailed, they figure that the architect is the best person to deal with the aesthetics. They figure these are buildings that are going to be around for at least 50 years, and indeed some of the earlier buildings are already 50 years old. And it continues to be their practice, which is refreshing.
Q: Do you think you have a brand? Is it college buildings?
A. It's a good question because branding is the subject of the day. And there are many different definitions. One is the star architect. We have proven that we can work with them. It gives you an opportunity to work with some bright people on projects of high complexity. And they don't pay me to say this, but the only local star architect is Arquitectonica.
There is another branding, which is what I call the alphabet firms, which are corporate. And these firms for example excel in health care, because they are dealing with corporate health care providers. .
We see ourselves as a boutique, not a department store. We sell services. Design is what we all call the fun part. I think we've proven over the years that we can do well in that subject. There's only two kinds of architecture, good and bad, and there are a lot of things in common in different styles, and one of those is proportion. And another is how you handle the transition from indoor to outdoor, and in Florida that's crucial. But we realized early on that if we were going to be a regional firm, we would have to be conversant in several architectural languages.
The fun part is to try execute the design that solves the programmatic brief for the project budget available, and the language that you use may be mandated by the owner, or it may be the location and context of the building. If you do a building in Miami Beach today, you would be hard-pressed not to want to do it in a modernist language. Conversely, if you do a building in Coral Gables today, you're likely to design something in what they call Coral Gables Mediterranean. You have to be able to design in all these languages if you're going to practice successfully in this region.
Q. As the business of architecture has gone up and down, has that been a key to your longevity as a firm?
A. Architecture is very competitive, and there is a lot of persuading involved before you even have a project. I think that the elements that are most important are, first and foremost, your reputation. You can finish a project and take a photograph and move on. Or you can stay as long as necessary to leave a good reference behind. And we're very careful about that. One of the elements that has helped us get to 30 years has been repeat business from satisfied customers. And that's hard to beat. If every project has to be a cold call, it can be quite insecure.
Q: Of all the projects, are there any you consider your signatures, or favorite children?
A. I'm very pleased that you mention them as children. We have a firm portfolio that we refer to as our baby book. Everyone in the firm refers to it like that. I don't think there's one project that defines the firm.
What defines a firm is the breadth of the work, the fact that we can compete for the restoration of a national landmark, which is the Freedom Tower, of which there are only four in Miami, and at the same time we can work on what I believe to be the most difficult, technologically difficult project to ever have been attempted in Miami, which is the Miami Science Museum, and work alongside a highly regarded and highly technical firm like Grimshaw. We like civic buildings.
In between all of that, the one thing we have left to others to do has been condos. The reason is very simple. The fees are very competitive. The work is very repetitive. And condominium associations are highly litigious. We're not opposed to doing one, but we don't pursue it.
Q: Your partner, Tony, has been retired for 10 years, but his name remains on the firm. Why?
A. It's more than his name. He continues to be associated with us. His reason for retirement is he has Parkinson's, which affects his motor skills but, thank God, not his mind. And of course, his influence and his professionalism are instilled in every one of our key personnel. He's unable to come to work every day, but he's not unable to contribute. He is always available to us. He wants to keep active in what's going on.
Q: You're 65. When do you plan to retire, and what's the future of the firm?
A. The first answer is, not now . Anybody who knows mehas heard me say that architecture is not a sprint, but rather a marathon, and that architects hit their peak at 65. In architecture, any one project can take five, six, seven years. [But] it is so much fun. The last class that came from UM to visit, they asked, 'What keeps you enthusiastic after 40 years in practice?' And I mentioned the fact that translating people's needs into a work of architecture is the most exciting part of the practice.
There are many exit strategies. One of them is merging, which is another work for selling, usually to a larger firm. Many local firms have done that, many successfully. We've had some offers. The other is to have the people in the firm carry on with the firm. We have some very good people here. We have a very good group of younger architects that are technically very competent and are design-wise very talented.
The question remains, always, where is the work going to come from? It's a struggle, this business. 'The good news is, I have a job today, the bad news is I need one in six months.' It generally drives people into the merger position.
In summary, it's fair to say that 65 is not the average retirement age for architects. The other factor is you have good people and continuing clients. And I believe, and Tony does as well, that as much as you'd like to, you can't control everything. You have to leave a few unknowns on the table. It's allowing for things to happen.

HASTINGS, MI (WTVB) - The jury in the Chad Curtis molestation trial in Barry County has found him guilty on all counts. It only took a couple of hours Friday to reach the verdict. The former Detroit Tiger and New York Yankee was charged with inappropriately touching young female athletes at Lakewood High where he was a volunteer trainer, and applied massages.
Assistant. Prosecutor Christopher Ellsworth argued that the jury had heard direct and explicit testimony from several girls revealing a pattern of behavior. Defense Attorney David Dodge questioned the credibility of the girls saying they had mistaken full body massages for inappropriate contact.He will be sentenced September 26th. His attorney says he will appeal.

Got a beef with it?
Despite news of the ban on Canadian beef lifting, it hasn't lifted high enough for the average consumer to bring a T-Bone steak across the ine.
"The resumption of ruminant imports from Canada on July 18, 2005 applies only to commercial importation of live Canadian cattle under 30 months of age," according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) press release issued July 29.
CBP Public affairs officer Mike Milne said the press release was issued to prevent people from losing their groceries at the border, and prevent a greater workload for inspectors due to consumer's misinterpreting the lifting of the highly publicized beef ban. "We sent this out as a travelers advisory to make sure there wasn't confusion," he said.

The search for the absolute best chocolate chip cookie recipe has ended with the New York Times Chocolate Chip cookie recipe adapted from Jacques Torres
I think it's pretty fair to say that when most of us think of making chocolate chip cookies, we look on the yellow Nestle bag for the Toll House Cookie recipe.
Recently my friend Kim had a chocolate chip cookie fail! She asked me "What happened? What did I do wrong" I made a few suggestions off the top of my head, but it got me thinking. I wanted to search for the BEST, no fail, Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe.
Surely the Nestle Toll House recipe is the best known, but did you know there is a science to all that flour, sugar, eggs and chocolate? That's why some times your cookie may come out perfect and the next time they don't. Or wonder about flat cookies vs fluffy cookies?
In my search for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe, it appears that The New York Times had the same question I did a few years ago, and set out on a quest for the best chocolate chip cookie recipe! It's a great read if you have ever wondered why you have cookie making "issues".
I also discovered, that I must be one of the only bloggers that had not heard about this recipe! HA! Amanda, Julie, Maria, Jamie and a whole slew of others have written about it, while I had my head in a hole! So I'm asking…no BEGGING you……don't ignore this post as "just another chocolate chip cookie recipe"!
If I can help just ONE person discover it, my job will be done! Seriously, my search is over this IS the BEST Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. This is not a recipe you want to adapt, and you want to follow the directions precisely the first time. Trust me on this, I followed it to a "t" because I wanted to see if it really lived up to it's name!
A little planning and patience is needed with this recipe . You will need cake and bread flour and a minimum of 24 hours to chill…..but SO worth it!
The size of this cookie plays a big roll as well.
The instructions say to form the dough into a ball a little larger than a golf ball, suggesting 3.5 ounces (I used a cookie scoop and my kitchen scale and made mine 3.15 ounces)
I wanted to show you how big these look in my hand! lol Do me a favor, try it!! you will LOVE the look on their faces when you bake them a big chocolatey perfectly chewy cookie.
"Their larger size allows for three distinct textures. First there's the crunchy outside inch or so. A nibble revealed a crackle to the bite and a distinct flavor of butter and caramel. Then there's the center, which is soft. A bull's-eye the size of a half-dollar yielded easily.
But the real magic is the one-and-a-half-inch ring between them where the two textures and all the flavors mix." ~ Maury Rubin, City Bakery, on West 18th Street, NY
Absolute best chocolate chip cookie you'll ever eat!
- 2 cups minus 2 tablespoons (8 1/2 ounces) cake flour
- 1 2/3 cups (8 1/2 ounces) bread flour
- 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt
- 2 1/2 sticks (1 1/4 cups) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups (10 ounces) light brown sugar
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (8 ounces) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons natural vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 pounds bittersweet chocolate (I used Ghirardelli chocolate chips )
- Sea salt
- Sift flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. Set aside.
- Using a mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until very light, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla. Reduce speed to low, add dry ingredients and mix until just combined, 5 to 10 seconds. Drop chocolate pieces in and incorporate them without breaking them. Press plastic wrap against dough and refrigerate for 24 to 36 hours. Dough may be used in batches, and can be refrigerated for up to 72 hours
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick baking mat. Set aside.
- Scoop 6 3 1/2-ounce mounds of dough (the size of generous golf balls) onto baking sheet, making sure to turn horizontally any chocolate pieces that are poking up; it will make for a more attractive cookie. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt and bake until golden brown but still soft, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack for 10 minutes, then slip cookies onto another rack to cool a bit more. Repeat with remaining dough, or reserve dough, refrigerated, for baking remaining batches the next day. Eat warm, with a big napkin.

GSM Autobot Review
Welcome to The First GSM Autobot Powered To Trade Binary Options Like a Guru! Learn More About GSM Autobot By Clive Hussey Before Buy it, Or You Can Try GSM Autobot Risk Free!
In the investment world was often potential investors have a wealth of sources and various tools and techniques at their disposal like GSM Autobot. But it was not always this way. With the advent of the Internet and advanced technologies and the development of increasingly sophisticated methods and commerce has become strong and powerful as never before.
One of the most important trends in the world of commerce today is the field of binary options – an exciting way to make money to take advantage of market movements – and the kind of choices may seem unfamiliar to some, as does not look like usual ways to trade options, but he caught on quickly , especially on the trading platforms online .
This article will address give a brief introduction to the field of binary options and how they are used now.
GSM Autobot - What are binary options ?
Before going to talk about binary options 're going first to the concept of choice in general and binary options , which are considered one of its derivatives .
Overall option is a contract between two parties whereby buy out certain specified price during a specified period of time . Applying this concept in the world of currency we will know that option is a contract to buy a certain currency at a specified price during a certain period , and an example of this , the euro can be purchased for $1.5 that the option expires on the first day of the month of April. This option is likely duo only two outcomes , either full payment or loss of the entire amount of the investment . There are other names for this type of trade , including the option of all-or- not something digital Options , particularly in an environment of Binary options .
GSM Autobot – How binary options work ?
In the primary analysis , the binary options work similarly to a large extent to the way traditional options . When you invest in binary options , you basically take a financial center with or against a particular result , and if ratified your expectations , you get or win a fixed amount and specific since the beginning and if the opposite happens , you lose the full amount invested in the purchase or sale of the option.
As an example of this. Suppose you you buy a binary option comes with a yield of 81 % was determined exercise price or execution for a couple of Euro U.S. Dollar closes higher level 1,500 by the first of April. If you made the decision to purchase it means you believe that this result will be achieved and if taken a decision to sell it means the opposite bet not to check this assumption that the euro – dollar price close below the 1,500 level at this time, at the beginning of the month of April .
Most binary options contracts pay return between 75 % to 85 % of the amount of the initial investment . Going back to the previous example if the amount invested U.S. $ 100 for the option to trade Eurodollar duo with a broker offers a return of 81 % will be the total potential profit from the transaction is U.S. $81 .
As you can see , the binary options is a very attractive way for those who want to reap the profits of many without great risk .
GSM Autobot Conclusion
Binary options with GSM Autobot is a lot of potential profits for traders without going into the landing options and the usual rise in the world of forex and stock trading . And learn more about this exciting field will open the way for potential profits for investors who enjoy the quality statesmanship enough to make a profit from a single blow and lightning decisions but carefully considered.

Tree Storage Bag 1 2
Okay storage bag This bag is very large, and certainly holds a 7.5 foot tree (or taller!). The durability of the bag is average--fairly strong, but could also tear if something sharp nudged it too hard. The biggest thing that I do not like about this bag is how floppy it is. There is no support structure to provide the bag with a shape. January 17, 2013

Flood waters, warmer temps may bring more mosquitoes
By Dan Moran Sun-Times email@example.com April 29, 2013 4:30PM
Recent flooding has brought the area some of the highest levels of mosquitos in 20 years.
Related Stories
Updated: June 1, 2013 6:33AM
Just as some area residents clean up from flooding because of record rainfall, they could soon be rocked with another problem — hungry floodwater mosquitoes.
"We should be seeing an emergence of floodwater mosquitoes within the next seven to 10 days," said Laura McGowan, a spokeswoman for Roselle-based Clarke, an environmental company that manages mosquito abatement programs for multiple communities in Cook, DuPage, Kane, McHenry and Lake counties.
Floodwater mosquitoes are known as "nuisance mosquitoes, (because) they tend to be aggressive biters and they can be very nasty," McGowan said.
But they are not to be confused with the Culex genus of the pests, which carry the potentially lethal West Nile virus.
"The good news is (floodwater mosquitoes) are not good vectors for disease, so they are not known for carrying West Nile," McGowan said. "It's possible, it's just very unlikely."
Culex mosquitoes emerge from the hot, dry weather that finds insects and birds — the host carriers of West Nile — converging around the same limited supplies of water. That has not been the problem in and around Chicago this April, with O'Hare International Airport logging a record 8.6 inches of rain and both the Des Plaines and Fox rivers washing well out of their banks.
According to McGowan, floodwater mosquitoes "can lay eggs that literally last for years in grass, and when they're flooded, you will get a nasty outbreak of nuisance mosquitoes. (So) we're going to see an emergence from these hatch-offs in the next few weeks."
Sure enough, there is even more rain in the forecast for later this week, but McGowan pointed to another weather feature that could slow mosquitoes: cooler temperatures.
"We've been up and down with the temperatures, and mosquitoes like it hot," she said. "It's supposed to cool down this week, and that could help suppress the hatch-off and make them less active. Temperatures will play a big role in how aggressive they are, because mosquitoes start slowing down when it's in the 50s."
Eventually, of course, the mercury will turn spring into summer — and slapping season will begin.
"Mosquitoes breed every five to seven days, so we can see (emerging hatches) before Memorial Day," McGowan said. "Some people say April showers bring May flowers — we say April showers bring May mosquitoes."

Event Setups
New set-up policy, Effective June 1, 2010
To ensure we can properly and efficiently fulfill work requests, the set-ups department asks that work orders be sent in a minimum of three business days prior to the event. In case of emergency work requests, we will try to accommodate within reason, but cannon guarantee availability to complete the request. With short notice work order requests, please call me in addition to submitting an online work order, so our staff can be alerted to your needs. This will enable us to let you know immediately if we will be able to accommodate your needs. These policies are designed to ensure that you, as the requester, get the set-up you want and that it is done properly and in a timely manner. Do not forget, when planning a time for your event, please allow for set-up and tear down time within the allotted rented time.
The following is a list of the resources we use in our set-ups:
28 8 foot rectangle tables
Each 8' table seats up to 10 people. If an event requires more than this, we have to rent tables.
60 6' round tables
Each seats 8 people comfortably, but can accommodate 10 people for a high occupancy event.
**If your event requires tables for food service in addition to dining tables, please clearly indicate that need in the work request.
950 Boone chairs
Basic tan-upholstered chairs.
125 TSAC chairs
Basic green-striped upholstered chairs exclusive to TSAC, not to be moved elsewhere. More chairs (from Boone) may be brought in if an event requires more than 125 chairs—as long as the number does not violate the fire code.
64 President's Dining Room chairs
This framed vertical striped chairs. The fire code only permits 68 in that particular room. In the past this has not been strictly enforced, but will be henceforth.
Pip and Drape
200 ft of black drape standing 8ft tall.
200 Benson Auditorium chairs
Green chairs exclusive to Benson Auditorium.
For anything beyond what is listed, additional preparations are required. We can rent most items that may be needed. However, when renting, do not forget that budget codes are required prior to the ordering of equipment.
Finally, the importance of submitting work requests prior to events as outlined above needs to be reiterated. The following of these procedures helps us provide the best service to our campus. The set-ups crew takes pride in what we do, and we continually strive to raise the bar. Please know that with the recent changes, the Set-ups department has done everything we can to continue to make this campus run as smooth as possible. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns, do not hesitate to call or email any and all of them to me.

Our boss once invited us into his office to discuss a trading program that he wanted to set up. "I have one rule only," he noted. Looking us straight in the eye, he said, "no excuses."
Instantly we understood what he meant. Our boss wasn't concerned about traders booking losses. Losses are a given part of trading and anyone who engages in this enterprise understands and accepts that fact. What our boss wanted to avoid were the mistakes made by traders who deviated from their trading plans. It was perfectly acceptable to sustain a drawdown of 10% if it was the result of five consecutive losing trades that were stopped out at a 2% loss each. However, it was inexcusable to lose 10% on one trade because the trader refused to cut his losses, or worse yet, added to a position beyond his risk limits. Our boss knew that the first scenario was just a regular part of business, while the second one could ultimately blow up of the entire account.
The Need For Rationalization
In the quintessential '80s movie, "The Big Chill", Jeff Goldblum's character tells Kevin Kline's that "rationalization is the most powerful thing on earth. As human beings we can go for a long time without food or water, but we can't go a day without a rationalization."
Case In Point
Markets can and will do anything. Witness the blowup of Long Term Capital Management (LTCM). At one time, it was one of the most prestigious hedge funds in the world, whose partners included several Nobel Prize winners. In 1998, LTCM went bankrupt, nearly bringing the global financial markets to its knees when a series of complicated interest rate plays generated billions of dollars worth of losses in a matter of days. Instead of accepting the fact that they were wrong, LTCM traders continued to double up on their positions, believing that the markets would eventually turn their way.
It took the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and a series of top-tier investment banks to step in and stem the tide of losses until the portfolio positions could be unwound without further damage. In post-debacle interviews, most LTCM traders refused to acknowledge their mistakes, stating that the LTCM blowup was the result of extremely unusual circumstances unlikely to ever happen again. LTCM traders never learned the "no excuses" rule, and it cost them their capital. (To find out more, see Massive Hedge Fund Failures.)
No Excuses
The "no excuses" rule is most applicable to those times when the trader does not understand the price action of the markets. If, for example, you are short a currency because you anticipate negative fundamental news and that news occurs, but the currency rallies instead, you must get out right away. If you do not understand what is going on in the market, it is always better to step aside and not trade. That way, you will not have to come up with excuses for why you blew up your account. No excuses. Ever. That's the rule professional traders live by.

What makes a Best Place to Work?
(page 1 of 2)
The sexes and each generation have different answers to what makes a Best Place to Work, but everyone agrees that one thing is crucial:
"I like the type of work that I do."
Whether you're a woman or man, from the Baby Boom, Gen X or Gen Y, liking your job is one thing that everyone agrees is important in the workplace.
Beyond that, what drives the genders and age groups can be quite different, according to our 2013 Best Places to Work survey.
The BPTW project is a great place to discover these differences between the sexes and generations because anonymous surveys were returned by 6,504 employees of all ages at 100 companies and nonprofits statewide.
Best Companies Group conducted these surveys for Hawaii Business and uncovered the main factors that led to overall employee engagement. In other words, the survey respondents told Best Companies what, in their minds, makes their organizations the best places to work in Hawaii. And when employees said these factors were lacking, their companies failed to make the list.
Companies "can use the information to focus their attention on the top drivers that drive their employees," says Mary Plissey, director of market research for Best Companies Group.
"So, if a company knows that the top driver for employees age 25 and under is, 'I can trust what this organization tells me,' and their employees are (mainly) in that age group, the company can say, 'OK, we need to spend time communicating with the team and be as good as our word.' "
Signe Godfrey, president of Olsten Staffing, says the results of Best Places to Work surveys match what she has learned from her experience. She calls the information a valuable tool to motivate and retain employees.
"However, how companies will adapt policies or implement changes to their businesses based on the survey will be the challenge," Godfrey says.
What are the top factors/drivers that create overall engagement for men at work?
Responses = 2341
- I feel I am valued in this organization
- I have confidence in the leadership of this organization
- I like the type of work that I do
- My pay is fair for the work I perform
- I understand the importance of my role to the success of the organization
- Employees are treated fairly here regardless of race, gender, age, religion
- I trust that if I do good work, my company may consider me for a promotion
- 401k or 403b plan
- My supervisor helps me develop to my fullest potential
- Amount of vacation or paid time off
What are the top factors/drivers that create overall engagement for women at work?
Responses = 3147
- I can trust what this organization tells me (This issue is also the top factor for the age group 25 and under, but it is not even in the top 10 for men overall.)
- I like the type of work that I do
- My supervisor acknowledges when I do my work well
- Quality is a top priority with this organization
- Amount of vacation or paid time off
- I understand the importance of my role to the success of the organization
- The leaders of this organization care about their employees' well being
- There is room for me to advance at this organization
- Employees are treated fairly here regardless of race, gender, age, religion
- I feel physically safe in my work environment
What men and women agree on
Top factors in common for both genders that help create Best Places to Work:
I like the work that I do
Amount of vacation or paid time off
I understand the importance of my role to the success of the organization

Get Gorgeous for the Gym or Any Get-Together: Tips From The X Factor Style Team
Written on December 7, 2011 at 2:39 pm , by Karla Walsh
Part of the appeal of many reality shows is picturing yourself as a potential star or competitor…That's not just me, right? But how do everyday folks get so glam for all of the lights and cameras? On The X Factor, they do so with the help of a style team—a trio of beauty experts who have transformed some of Hollywood's biggest stars for films, music videos or red carpet events.
We asked each of the members of the dream beauty/fashion team to share a few tricks for looking great anywhere from the gym to the street to a holiday party. (You can also find more pointers on the team's Facebook page and on Twitter @thestyleteamusa.)
June Ambrose, the fashion guru of The X Factor, celebrity stylist and author of Effortless Style
- Go '80s. "I live in the Flashdance look for the gym—a sports bra layered beneath a sweatshirt that falls off the shoulder! Pair that with leggings and leg warmers and you are ready to go while 'under construction.'"
- Take some help. When dressing up, "a good foundation is key, no matter how fit you are. I always encourage my clients to wear shapewear. It's like a petticoat back in the day—a bare necessity."
- Look hot for the holidays. "I love playing with lace as a texture. It's romantic and festive with velvet. Sequin jackets are also great to pair with a dark matte dress, pant or shirt. You'll look slim with shine on top!"
Ken Paves, the hair guru for The X Factor, A-List hairstylist, coif makeover king for The Biggest Loser and BFF of Jessica Simpson
- Leave the product at home. "Less is more when you go to the gym. Hair product + sweat = mess! I think Nicole Richie always looks great going to and from the gym. She looks like she means business while staying cute!"
- Your go-to 'do from gym to gorgeous. "Apply a little dry shampoo near your roots and pull your hair up in a great ponytail or chignon—high or low—and add a chic headband. Done!"
- Accept your imperfections. "Jessica [Simpson] was so excited for me when I told her I was doing the X Factor, but we had to laugh because she knows I'm a tortured singer at heart. I just can't sing!"
Kristofer Buckle, the makeup artist for The X Factor, get-gorgeous pro who has worked with the likes of J. Lo, Mariah and Demi
- Go fresh-faced…or not. "I am a true makeup advocate! I think it's important to do what you can to look your best no matter where you go. For the gym, I tell my clients to try just a little concealer around their eyes, waterproof mascara, blush and tinted lip balm."
- The big trend: there are no trends (except eyes). "People are following their own personal style instead of forcing trends. What is true to you will never go out of style. Lashes and mascara are big—everyone looks great with more lashes, whether it's from a great volumizing mascara or individual lashes glued on."
- Hands off! "Makeup doesn't have to be complicated, but keep whatever you do neat. And don't touch your face…ever!"

Applications are now being accepted for the 14th Annual Business Excellence Awards Program. Deadline to apply is October 1st. And save the date for the Awards Dinner - November 12th at the Providence Marriott.
By PBN Staff
PROVIDENCE - The foreclosure rate in the Providence-Fall-River-New Bedford area rose 0.15 percentage points in September compared with the same period last year, CoreLogic said.
The California-based real estate tracking firm reported that 2.96 percent of outstanding mortgages in the area were subject to foreclosure during the month, up from 2.81 percent in September 2010.
The local foreclosure rate remains below the national rate, which was 3.48 percent for September, CoreLogic said.
While the foreclosure rate rose, the rate of Providence-area mortgages 90 or more days overdue fell 0.67 percentage points in September to 7.13 percent, according to CoreLogic.
