Be The First To

67% of the CEO
Jim Craddock
I have been working at Rosetta Resources as an intern for less than a year
Pros – 9/80 work schedule.
Nice Offices with free snacks, soda, and coffee
Competetive Pay
Cons – LOTS of meetings almost every day.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Rosetta Resources as a contractor for more than a year
Pros – Great People to work with. Wonderful ammenities and care for workers.
Cons – Limited opportunities for advancement as company is so small.
Advice to Senior Management – Lock onto great talent when you have the chance.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Rosetta Resources full-time for more than a year
Pros – Free snacks
Nice office
Lots of young people
Cons – Too many meetings
Not much direction
Some members of management are too young and have very little experience
Pay is based on whether you are a flight risk
Your bosses bonus is taken out of his staffs bonus pool. If he pays you less he gets more
To reward someone else management takes it from another
Advice to Senior Management – Reward performance and don't base pay on who you think might leave
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Rosetta Resources
Pros – When you first join the company, the compensation package is above average to encourage people to make the move
Some young talented staff that work hard and try to do the right thing
2 Fridays off a month
Cons – Lack of long term vision, focus is on short term - long term is sacrified
Friends in high places causes organization problems - some senior people know that the CEO won't let them go regardless of what happens so they have no fear of losing their jobs, they just manipulate people and behave like chlideren (decisions are more emotional than analytical ie we are going to do this because it is MY idea (& I want to look right) vs we will do this because it increases company profitability
Advice to Senior Management – Everyone wants to help their friends, nothing wrong with it, but when your friends are not the right people for the job it is time to make a change. Currently there is nobody internal to take over succession of the company. Some senior folks lack the maturity and stabilty to run the company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Rosetta Resources
Pros – If you previously worked for BR, you are given the benefit of the doubt and are almost guarranteed to move up in the company. Sr. Management has a comfort factor with those they have worked with in the past.
Every other Friday off - which is what you will need after the constant belittling (if you are not from BR)
Cons – They believe in induced tension - which means they pit people against each other
Compensation is a zero sum game - for one person to get rewarded it has to come out of someone ele's pocket regardless of performance by the individual or the company
There is a complete lack of trust internally - fueled by those that get rewarded for throwing others under the bus.
Advice to Senior Management – Actually follow your so called company values. Treat people with respect regardless of which companies they worked with in the past.
People are your best asset. They get things done to support the overpaid top brass. It makes no sense to treat them poorly.
Put the interest of the company ahead of your own ego. There are numerous examples were poor business decisions were made just so someone at the top could save face.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Rosetta Resources
Pros – Challenging work, good perks (free drinks!), good co-workers. Pay is OK, can be a great opportunity if you are formerly from Burlington Resources (BR).
Cons – Preference for former BR employees, regardless of skill or competence. Executive management is often unprofessional and disrespectul towards non-ex-BR people. Company's core values are for looks only, the execs don't follow them.
Advice to Senior Management – Live the values you espouse to the employees. Don't be hypocrites. Treat your employees with dignity and respect. Admit that there is a morale problem and work to address it.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Rosetta Resources
Pros – OK in Denver- Decent employees, some good technical people. Denver is the step child , if you like that kind of environment great
Cons – They pit the Denver office against the Houston office- this is not a sports team. Too much nepotism in their work force
Advice to Senior Management – No structure to the ratings system. No structure to the career ladder- is their one. If you kiss ass- well it might work for you their
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Prada Ad Campaign Commentary
As usual Prada comes up with a stellar campaign for Spring 2013. Beautiful product galvanized by simple, color crisp images and of course showcased by many of the industry's top girls–Vanessa Axente, Saskia de Brauw, Irina Kravchenko, Eva Herzigova, Sung Hee, Irene Hiemstra, Kirsten Owen, Sasha Pivovarova, Amber Valletta, Maartje Verhoef, and Raquel Zimmermann. (And as good as all the product looks in images, it's more delicious in real life–words cannot describe how this writer longs for a Prada bag!)
Except for Sung Hee, the girls are all white, a tendency for which Prada has repeatedly been criticized for, especially as it applies to its runways. In a way though, pointing out the color of models on runways is a shallow shot at brands. Modeling is an ephemeral job at best (career–implying as it does something with longevity/import–should never be used to describe the work of posing in clothing), with those landing jobs that set them for life about as rare as a Powerball lottery winner.
In reality you have to guess the bigger issue lies at the top of major fashion brands, which one has to bet are even less diverse than their runways. And if there is little to no diversity among decision makers, it would make sense that they are reluctant to represent the same in their ads and on their runways. After all, when one lacks everyday relationships with ethnically/religiously/racially different people, it's easier to view them as exotics to be pulled out for special statement-making moments (or as tokens to appease the complaints) rather than as stellar beauties upon whom a brand can be built. I've said it before, fashion can do better and actually I believe it will in 2013….xox0
On another note, lol, more of those Prada ads on the next page.

How much does it cost to use Google Wallet?
It's free. There are no fees for you to set up Google Wallet and use it in stores and online. You can even send money for free from your bank account or Wallet Balance. If you'd like to send money or add to your Wallet Balance using a credit or debit card, there is a small per-transaction fee. Receiving money is always free.

What is the Google Wallet Card?
The Google Wallet Card is a debit card that lets you spend your Wallet Balance at millions of MasterCard® locations or withdraw at ATMs. Money is added to your Wallet Balance either by someone sending you money via Wallet or Gmail, or by adding it yourself from a linked bank account or from a credit/ debit card.

Will I continue to earn loyalty or rewards benefits from my credit and debit cards?
You should continue to earn rewards points for purchases through your card issuer's credit or debit card rewards program (such as gas, grocery, restaurants purchases, and overall spending), if applicable. Certain benefits and rewards may not be applied when using Google Wallet, such as merchant specific rewards (e.g. double points at a specific merchant with a specific card). Applicability of rewards and other benefits (such as purchase protection or insurance) will be decided by your card issuers and not Google Wallet. Learn more.
What devices support Google Wallet NFC tap and pay?
NFC tap and pay functionality is available on many Android phones. You can find a list of supported phones here.
What happens when I tap my phone to pay using a credit or debit card in the Google Wallet app?
When you set up tap and pay functionality in the Google Wallet app, you will be issued a virtual prepaid MasterCard card, by its partner Bancorp. When you pay in store by tapping your phone, Google Wallet passes the virtual card to the merchant for payment, and charges your selected credit or debit card for the purchase.
How does the Google Wallet app transmit payment details when using my phone to tap and pay?
The Google Wallet app uses Near Field Communication (NFC), a secure, wireless connection to transmit payment details to the merchant.
Are my credit and debit card numbers passed to the merchant?
No, only the virtual prepaid MasterCard card information is passed to the merchant.
Can I use any of my cards to pay with Google Wallet – even if they aren't credit or debit cards?
At this time, you can pay with Google Wallet using any of your credit or debit cards. However, you cannot pay with any specialized cards, such as merchant-specific gift cards, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) cards, and other single-purpose cards.
Can I tap and pay using the funds in my Google Wallet Balance?
Yes. You can use your available funds in Google Wallet Balance to tap and pay. In this case, Google Wallet will withdraw the corresponding amount of the purchase from your Wallet Balance.
Are there instances when paying with Google Wallet in stores won't work?
Android NFC devices can be used to pay with Google Wallet where contactless payments are accepted. In certain instances, the contactless hardware at the merchant location may be old or malfunctioning, and may not work. Also, there are a few exceptions where Google Wallet may not work, depending on the merchant type, card type, ticket size, or category of product sold. In any of these instances, if you get an error, please pay by swiping your regular credit or debit card.
Do I need to be connected to the internet to use Google Wallet for tap and pay?
You will need to be connected to the internet in order to unlock the app with your 4-digit security PIN and tap and pay in stores. However, if you set your PIN timeout in the app settings, you can be offline for up to 24 hours and still tap and pay without being connected to the internet.
Will the Google Wallet app work with cards issued outside of the United States?
No. The Google Wallet app is currently available in the United States, and will not work with cards issued in any other country or currency.
How can I save my loyalty programs to Google Wallet?
You can easily scan the barcode or type the numbers on the card to add your existing loyalty programs to Google Wallet. You can also join other programs from within the Google Wallet app by clicking on the merchant logo or name.
What are some of the unique features about the loyalty programs that I can join directly from the Google Wallet app?
For select merchants in the Wallet app, you can see real-time loyalty point updates, receive merchant messages, and check your loyalty status.
How do I earn loyalty points with the loyalty programs saved to my Google Wallet app?
At checkout, you just need to scan the barcode or show the merchant your loyalty program ID number saved in your Google Wallet app.
What are the different ways I can send money with Google Wallet?
You can send money to anyone in the US with an email address using the Google Wallet app. You can also send money in Gmail by hovering over the attachment paperclip icon and clicking the $ icon to attach money to a Gmail message on your desktop. Payments can be funded from your Google Wallet Balance, bank account, debit cards and/or credit cards. The recipient does not need to have a Gmail address, but will be prompted to sign in or sign up for Google Wallet to accept the money.
How do I get access to sending money in Gmail?
We're rolling out this feature over the coming months to all US Gmail users over 18 years old, so keep an eye out for the $ icon in the attachment options. You can get earlier access to send money in Gmail if you install the Google Wallet app and start sending money. You will also get access if your friends have the feature and send money to you. If you've already claimed money, you will need to wait around 30 minutes and then refresh Gmail to see the $ icon. Once you see the $ icon in your attachment options, you are enabled to start sending money.
If I'm still using the old Gmail compose, will I be able to send money with Gmail?
Sending money through Gmail is only available in the new compose experience. If you aren't using the new compose, you can upgrade by clicking "Try out the new compose experience" next to the "Labels" button in your Gmail. You can also send money from the Google Wallet app.
What if the person I am sending money to does not have a Gmail account?
You can send money to anyone in the U.S. who has an email account, even if it is not Gmail. In order to claim the money, the recipient will just need to sign in or sign up for Google Wallet.
Do I need to have Google Wallet to send or receive money?
You will need to have or sign up for Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don't worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps.
What happens if the person I send money to does not claim the money?
If the recipient does not claim money sent within 14 days, the money will be returned to the sender's Google Wallet Balance.
How do I receive money?
You will receive an email when you are sent money. If it is your first time receiving money, you'll need to sign in or sign up for Google Wallet and verify your identity. After that, the money you are sent will appear automatically in your Google Wallet Balance. You can then use your Wallet Balance to transfer to your bank account, send money to friends, purchase on Google Play, or withdraw money at ATMs or purchase in stores with the Google Wallet Card.
Why does Google Wallet need to verify my identity in order for me to claim money or add a bank account?
Certain features of Google Wallet, such as the Google Wallet Balance and sending money, are subject to rules issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), an agency of the federal Department of the Treasury. These rules require us to verify the identity of Google Wallet users (through the collection of certain identifying information, such as Social Security Number) who establish certain types of accounts.
Can I send money to someone outside of the U.S.?
At this time, sending money with Gmail and Google Wallet is only available in the United States.
Will I be charged a fee to send money?
It's free to send money directly from your bank account or using your Google Wallet Balance. To send money using a credit or debit card, there will be a flat fee of 2.9% per transaction (minimum $0.30).
Will I be charged a fee to receive money?
No, receiving money is always free.
Is there a limit on how much money I can send?
There is a daily transfer limit of $10,000 USD and a $50,000 USD transfer limit per 5 day period. This includes both money sent to others as well as money transferred in and out of your Google Wallet Balance. You may send as many transactions up to the limits. These limits may be subject to change.
How long does it take for the recipient to receive the money?
The recipient will receive an email confirmation that they've been sent money immediately after you hit "send". If you are sending from your Google Wallet Balance, credit or debit cards, the recipient will receive funds almost instantaneously in most cases. Sending money directly from your bank account could take up to several days.
How can I transfer money I received to my bank account?
You can transfer money from your Google Wallet Balance to your bank account by adding your bank account to Google Wallet, under "Payment Methods" at wallet.google.com. After you've added your bank account, you can transfer money from the same page. Please note it may take a few days for the transfer to complete.
What are other things I can do with my Google Wallet Balance once I've claimed money?
Once you've claimed money, the money will be available in your Wallet Balance. You will be able to use your Wallet Balance to send money to other people, transfer to your bank account, purchase on Google Play and other Google properties, or purchase in stores with the Google Wallet Card or withdraw cash at ATMs.
What are offers?
Offers are deals from local and national merchants that you can save from across Google properties, such as the new Google Maps app, Google Search, Google+, Google Offers and from sites across the web. These offers are tied to your Google account and can be redeemed with your Google Wallet app at checkout.
Where can I find offers to save?
You can find offers to save from across Google properties like the Google Maps app, Google Search, Google+, and Google Offers. You can also save offers directly from merchant sites and across the web.
How can I redeem the offers?
Simply show your offer from the Google Wallet app to the cashier at checkout. The cashier will either scan the offer's barcode or manually type it in.
How do I save an offer to my Google Wallet?
Wherever you see a "Get Offer" or "Save to Google" button, a simple click will save that offer to your Google Wallet. If you don't have Google Wallet set up yet, log in with your Google account and download the Google Wallet app. Then, you can start saving offers to your Google Wallet app on your smartphone.
Do I have to pay to save an offer to my Google Wallet?
No. Whenever you see the "Save to Google" button, the offer you are saving is a free offer, not a prepaid offer. When you go to "My Offers" in the Google Wallet app, you will see all of your saved offers.
What is Orders?
Orders is a feature that you can turn on in the Google Wallet app that lets you easily track your online purchases, get shipping notifications, and view detailed order history.
How do I begin tracking my orders?
Download the Google Wallet app and activate this feature from the Google Wallet home screen or in the menu under "Orders."
How does Google Wallet show my online order history?
Google Wallet fetches information from your online order receipts in your Gmail inbox, so when you opt in to Orders, you can automatically find the order info from your purchases based on these receipts.
How can I order a Google Wallet Card?
If you're in the US and have already verified your identity, you can request a Google Wallet Card from the Google Wallet app or from wallet.google.com/cardRequest. The card would be shipped directly to your mailing address. There are no fees to order and activate the card.
How does the Google Wallet Card work?
The Google Wallet Card is funded by your Wallet Balance. Money is added to your Wallet Balance either by someone sending you money via Wallet or Gmail or by adding it yourself from a linked bank account or from a credit or debit card. The card has no fees to order and activate. There are no annual or monthly fees for the Google Wallet Card.
How do I make purchases with the Google Wallet Card?
The Google Wallet Card is accepted at millions of MasterCard® locations. Choose either credit or debit at checkout, and if you're prompted for a PIN, enter your Google Wallet PIN.
You can check your Wallet Balance anytime using the Wallet app, or by visiting wallet.google.com. If you don't have enough money in your Wallet Balance to cover a purchase, tell the cashier in advance how much to deduct from your card and how much you will pay using an alternate payment method. Note that this process, known as "split tender," may not be supported by all merchants.
The money in your Wallet Balance is what you have available to spend, up to a limit of $5,000.00 per 24 hours. This limit doesn't include cash withdrawals at ATMs or banks.
Are there fees associated with the Google Wallet Card?
There are no fees to order and activate the card, and no annual or monthly fees. Google also doesn't charge any ATM fees, though some ATM providers may charge you a fee for cash withdrawals. Learn more about fees here.
Can I withdraw cash at ATMs?
You can withdraw cash from ATMs, get cash back with purchases, or get cash over the counter at a bank. To withdraw cash at an ATM, select "checking account" when prompted. To check the current limit on how much cash you can withdraw per 24 hours from an ATM or bank, check under "settings" in the app, or click the Wallet App and Card link on wallet.google.com.
How do returns get processed?
When returning purchases, you may be asked to show your Wallet Card to the merchant. Refunds made to the Wallet Card will be deposited in your Wallet Balance.
What PIN should I use for making purchases or withdrawing cash?
Use your Wallet PIN when prompted by a merchant, or when getting cash back at ATMs. You can reset your PIN anytime in the settings of the Wallet app, or by going to wallet.google.com.
What address or ZIP code should I use if prompted during a purchase?
Use the address or ZIP code that is listed as your home address in your Wallet settings. You can update this address anytime by visiting wallet.google.com and clicking on the settings gear icon.
How do I cancel my card?
If you lose your Wallet Card, or decide to stop using it for any reason, you can cancel it by going to wallet.google.com and clicking on "Wallet App and card." You can order a replacement card from here as well.
Can I use the Google Wallet Card internationally?
You cannot use the Google Wallet Card outside the US right now.
How do I contact customer support?
Visit online at support.google.com, or call us 24/7 with any questions about your Wallet Card at 1-855-492-5538.
What if my phone or card is lost or stolen?
You can remotely disable the Google Wallet app or card online at wallet.google.com. Disabling the app or card prevents use of Google Wallet for in-store payments.
What is Google Wallet Purchase Protection?
Google Wallet Purchase Protection covers 100% of eligible unauthorized Google Wallet transactions reported within 180 days of purchase. If you would like to file a report about an unauthorized Google Wallet transaction, please contact us here.
How do I lock my Google Wallet app?
You can set a 4-digit security PIN to access your Google Wallet app. Each time you open your Google Wallet app, you will be prompted to enter your 4-digit security PIN.
Is it possible to delete all cards and data from the Google Wallet app on my phone?
Yes, you can reset the Google Wallet app and remove all payment credentials and transaction data via the "Settings" menu in the app. Please note that this feature resets the Wallet app on your phone and erases all data from it, but you will still be able to use your saved cards in your Google Wallet account online for online purchases.
How does Google Wallet protect my payment credentials?
Google Wallet stores your credit and debit cards on secure servers and encrypts your payment information with industry-standard SSL (secure socket layer) technology. Your full credit and debit card information is never shown in the app and won't be shared with the merchant. In addition, access to Google Wallet is protected by password or PIN. We also recommend locking your phone with a passcode for additional security.
What is Host Card Emulation?
Host card emulation allows Android applications to communicate directly over NFC on supported devices with Android 4.4 KitKat. When you tap your phone to pay, HCE enables Google Wallet to pass transaction information to the point-of-sale terminal to complete your transaction.
What is the Secure Element and how secure is it?
The Secure Element has many features designed to protect the security of the data it stores. It's separate from the phone's main operating system and hardware, which enables encrypted protocols to enforce access control. There are multiple levels of protection for data stored on the Secure Element and it is protected at the hardware level from snooping or tampering.
Could a malicious application access my credit card on the Secure Element?
Both the Android platform and the Secure Element are designed to prevent this from happening. Android enforces strict access policies so that malicious applications won't have access to data stored by Google Wallet. Even Google Wallet itself has very limited access to the Secure Element, and cannot read or write data from its memory. There are multiple levels of protection for data stored on the Secure Element and it is protected at the hardware level from snooping or tampering.
If someone gets close to my NFC-enabled phone, could they read sensitive data from my Google Wallet?
No. The NFC antenna in your phone is only activated when the screen is powered on and unlocked, and even if the antenna is on and in proximity of a reader, payment credentials can only be transmitted to a payment terminal after you have entered your Google PIN. For the greatest security, we recommend users with Android phones set their "PIN timeout" to 15 minutes so the app is locked soon after use.
Do my issuing bank's purchase protection policies still apply?
In addition to Google Wallet Purchase Protection, you may also have certain rights under your agreement with the issuing bank of your credit or debit card. Contact your issuing bank for more information.
What data does Google Wallet store about my purchases?
Google Wallet records information about your purchases, such as merchant, amount, date and time, method of payment, and, optionally, geolocation. You can view your Transaction History in the Wallet app and in the online management center.

Synth is a C++ template framework - a set of components that can be mixed and matched to build the right functionality; furthermore, components are loosely-coupled, designed to be both extensible and replaceable. Synth blurs the line between compile-time and runtime, and it does so by blending the static C++ type system, the dynamic values that need to be manipulated and formatted, including those from other languages, and the templates to do so. The name is an allusion to this synthesis process, which combines values to generate new ones (streams, files, strings, numbers, etc.)
Qmonix is a quantitative software monitoring and analysis SDK. It allows you to build your own analytics infrastructure by monitoring and analyzing events from any platform that supports HTTP, visualize your data in real time in the provided Web interface or query with the HTTP API, embed charts in your Web sites, or export data for further analysis.
skd is a tool for the simple distribution of SSH keys in a growing environment. It allow you to create hosts, group them, and link that group a group of users with keys to easily distribute all affected keys. skd generates a DSA or RSA keypair, which is saved to its database and used as the authentication source for skd itself. This keypair can (and should be) additionally be encrypted using a passphrase. This allows you to simply add a user with their key and press one button to grant (and revoke!) the user's access to all needed hosts.

I worked at Bridgepoint Education full-time for more than a year
Pros – The job paid well, offered great training, and benefits
Cons – Highly stressful environment. If you didn't enroll enough students you would be fired or receive pay cuts. They hired about 200 people ever couple of weeks and most of them couldn't make the cut. About 1/4 were fired for not being good enough. 1/4 were promoted to manager or transferred to another department. And about 1/2 left the position due to stress. Many employees were seeing counselors strictly for work related stress. Also get ready to work a lot!!!!!
Advice to Senior Management – Invest in your employees. Don't churn and burn
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Apple launches iPhone 5 in 33 countries Friday: Early videosDecember 14, 2012: 7:18 AM ET
A chilly reception in China, warmer in Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines
FORTUNE -- Apple (AAPL) orchestrated one of its most ambitious one-day launches Friday, releasing the iPhone 5 in 33 countries in a global roll-out that moved westward across the timelines.
The reception varied widely in the early videos. Malaysians and Indonesians greeted the device in the style to which we've become accustomed, with long lines and high-volume hoopla.
In Beijing, by contrast, snow, high prices and a clunky pre-registration lottery conspired to make for unexpectedly low turnout, as the Wall Street Journal video below explains.
UPDATE: No snow in Shanghai. No lines either.

1950′s Mamiya Super 16 Spy Camera
Similar to the 1954 Mamiya Speed Shot Special we found online last year, here's something equally cool, if not quite as rare. Gadgethobby.com has recently posted not one, but two 1950′s Mamiya Super 16 cameras.
There are plenty of examples of this beauty online, and they do pop up for sale now and then, although collectors don't part with mint specimens very often. Made from 1949 to the early 1960′s in many slight deviations, all model Mamyia Super 16 cameras have a rabid fan base. There was even an automatic version. Many are no longer functioning, but some folks are still actively shooting the 16mm film today. Some collectors are making scans of the original manuals available for intrepid fans attempting to repair them.
There are many resources online for this old gem from Mamiya if you're thinking of starting or building your existing collection. If you're diligent, you can even find and collect an official Mamiya Super 16 Cleaning Brush or some of the original advertising. Some fans are so passionate about these models there's an abundance of great images of the cameras themselves. They are, after all, obsessed with photography.

Don't like this scent.
By Gail
from Schaumburg, IL
About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Febreze�; Air Effects� Spray, Meadows and Rain Scent:
First of all, let me just say that I realize scent is subjective. What I may not like in a scent may be what others prefer in a scent. I bought this for the office after trying and loving the Spring Renewal scent. At first I thought I really liked this one also, but by about the 2nd or 3rd spray I realized I hated it. It reminded me of a mix of freshly cut grass and (cheap) lavender. It was also heavy and overpowering, even though I just lightly tap the trigger once to spray. I felt like the Spring Renewal scent eliminated the odor, whereas this scent masked it. I will not repurchase this scent.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Love it
By Heather
from Michigan
We use this product in waiting rooms, exam rooms, and bathrooms. A little goes a long way, which works well expense wise. This has a nice lite scent, which is a great choice for a large office like the one in which I work. We also have several people who are sensitive to scents (with headaches) and this scent does not bother them. An over all people-pleaser.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Working in Teams
(Much of the material on this page is drawn from materials provided by R.M. Felder and R. Brent, Active and Cooperative Learning, North Carolina State University, 2003)
One goal of this course is to help students learn to work effectively in teams. Teamwork is a crucial skill for success in the workplace, and research demonstrates that teamwork improves student learning and promotes deeper understanding. To help the class achieve this goal, homework assignments, some laboratory assignments, and the final project will be completed in teams. Membership of teams will be assigned by the instructor, and teams will be reformed at least once during the semester.
It is the responsibility of every team member to make sure that everyone participates and that everyone learns. Each group is responsible for ensuring that non-contributors do not get credit for the team's work. Each member will have opportunities to evaluate everyone's contribution, and the results will be factored into grades.
Team procedures: For each assignment, do the following:
1) Designate a Coordinator, Recorder, Monitor, and Checker (duties explained below). Rotate roles for each assignment. If the team has only three members, the same person will be the monitor and checker.
2) Agree on a meeting time and decide what each member should have done before the meeting. (For homework problems, each member should have outlined their solution before the team meets.) The Coordinator should contact team members before the meeting to remind them of the meeting time, place, tasks to be accomplished, and what the individuals are to do before the meeting.
3) Do the required individual work before meeting with the team. For example, do the reading, outline the solution to the problems, and so on.
4) Meet with the team and work. Be sure that every member fulfills their assigned role as Coordinator (keep everyone on task and make sure everyone is involved), Recorder (prepare the final paper that will be turned in), Monitor (check to make sure everyone understands the solutions and strategy used to get them), or Checker (double check the final paper, make sure that it follows the guidelines for solving quantitative problems, and hand it in by the deadline). Set up the next meeting time and agree on the roles for the next assignment.
5) The Checker turns in the assignment, giving the names and roles of everyone who contributed. It is the Checker's responsibility to make sure that the assignment is turned in on time.
6) When graded assignments are returned, review them with everyone. Make sure everyone understands the reasons for the grade assigned.
7) When a conflict arises, try to work through it with the team. If this doesn't work, consult with the instructor.
Firing Non-Contributors: Teams may "fire" non-contributing team members by using the following process. First, a non-contributing team member's name should not be included on work handed in. If non-cooperation continues, the team should meet to discuss the issue and may choose to meet with the instructor. If non-cooperation continues after this, the team members may notify the non-contributor in writing (with a copy to the instructor) that they are in danger of being fired from the team. If the situation still does not improve, the team should notify the non-contributor in writing (with a copy to the instructor) that they have been fired. Students fired from a team must find a group of three to work with; individual assignments done by a fired team member will not be accepted.
Quitting a Team: Any team member has the option to quit the group by using the following process. First, they must write a memo to the team (with a copy to the instructor) saying that they are thinking about quitting if they do not get cooperation from the group. If the situation does not improve, they should issue a second memo (with a copy to the instructor) quitting the group. Students who quit a team must find a group of three to work with; individual assignments done by a team member who quits a group will not be accepted.

NATICK - The first time Stacey Peasley sang before an audience, the then-third-grader got stuck playing King Arthur – instead of Guenevere – and had to sing "How to Handle a Woman'' in an elementary school production of "Camelot.''
But after "everybody cheered'' when the sophomore sang Bon Jovi's "Wanted Dead or Alive'' during Skit Night at her Long Island high school and her class won, Peasley knew "taking a risks'' had paid off and she was meant to sing.
So after college, by day, she taught social studies to middle-school students for 10 years. At night, she played guitar and sang for a bunch of all-girl bands named Chiclettes, Crooked Foot and Guilty Pleasure.
Her marriage to Dean Peasley, a senior vice-president at Liberty Mutual, brought her Brookline and, then Natick in 2008.
In 2006, Peasley took her first child, Alyssa, to a library sing-along and the young mom's musical career took off in a new direction.
"I looked around and all the kids and their parents and nannies were having a good time,'' the now 40-year-old mother of three recalled in her Natick home. "I've always loved to sing. I thought, 'I can do this.' "
Since then, Peasley has combined her love of children and music into two CDs, several prestigious awards and lots of loyal fans from the kind wearing diapers and up to their parents.
"I still get to do something I love,'' she said relaxing as much as possible after 16-month-old Brooke woke up and started exploring the kitchen. "I might not be famous but I look forward to every performance.''
So do her fans and their parents.
As her family grew, Peasley's music evolved, mixing humor with wry observations sung to an energetic beat.
Peasley released her second album, "Lucky Day,'' to an enthusiastic audience during a Saturday noon time concert yesterday at The Center for Arts in Natick. Singing in her rich alto voice and playing acoustic guitar, she was accompanied by her current band, guitarist Bill Doucette, drummer Bob Nisi and bassist Taylor Sullivan.
"I think children's music should be rocking and energetic,'' she said. "It's just like adult's music but has kids' content.''
Her new CD features 10 songs she wrote, mostly inspired by the everyday joys and occasional frustrations of raising three children from 16 months to 9 years old.
Her youngest, Brooke, a dark-eyed bundle of energy whose insatiable curiosity sends her on burbling adventures around the kitchen while her mother gave an interview, inspired "Wrecking Machine.''
Growing up an only child in Long Island, Peasley "always loved to sing." Among her first musical memories was listening to the soundtrack of "Annie'' and teaching herself to sing "Maybe.''
Like lots of girls growing in the '70s and '80s, she listened to Cyndi Lauper, Blondie, Pat Benatar and, of course, Madonna.
Page 2 of 2 - As her confidence grew, Peasley put together several all-girl bands in which she was usually the lead singer and guitarist.
But she always loved history and earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in social studies and secondary education at Aldelphi University and wrote her senior thesis on Mary, Queen of Scot's plot to overthrow Queen Elizabeth.
These days Peasley is winning fans and awards singing about a neighbor's fish named Marley. Her songs are geared to infants to 10-year-olds and can be enjoyed by accompanying parents.
She wrote and released her first album, "Together,'' in 2011 which won Creative Child Magazine's "Top CD of the Year Award'' and the Parents' Choice Foundation's Recommended Award and Nickelodeon Parents Connect award for best party entertainer.
In recent years, Peasley has performed at the Boston Greenfest, Fenway Park's children's entertainment room, the Coolidge Corner Theater and more.
Since Brooke's birth, Peasley has modulated her schedule to include once a week "Mommy and Me'' music classes at Collores Kids Studio in Natick, monthly visits to a nursery school and three other local schools, birthday parties and concerts.
What's the future hold?
"I'm working hard to make things happen,'' said Peasley. "It will be as big as it was meant to be.''

Towns below Fort Myers have started to flow seamlessly into one another since the opening of Florida Gulf Coast University in San Carlos Park and as a result of the growth of Estero and Bonita Springs, which were agricultural communities until the 1990s. In recent years the area has become a shopping mecca of mega-outdoor malls mixing big-box stores, smaller chains, and restaurants. Bonita Beach, the closest beach to Interstate 75, has evolved from a fishing community into a strip of upscale homes and beach clubs built to provide access for residents of inland golf developments.

The Sleep Disorders Center at 2367 23rd Street in Eureka is a specialized medical facility designed to diagnose and treat people with sleep related problems. We use state-of-the-art technology to determine and diagnose your sleep problem.
The Center is under the direction of Kurt Osborn, M.D. and John Gambin, M.D. of Humboldt Neurology. Both physicians are board certified by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine since 1997. They bring their extensive background in neurology in conjunction with their experience in sleep medicine to properly evaluate and treat sleep disorders.
We provide the only diagnostic site for patients in Humboldt County. The central location allows people who have no idea how severe their sleep disturbances, such as Insomnia, Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Narcolepsy are, to remain close to home while receiving modern, state of the art care for these problems.
To determine individual sleep problems it is necessary to perform a sleep study, commonly known as a polysomnography. The test itself involves sensors attached to the body but otherwise requires only that the patient spend the night in the sleep center. By providing a quiet, home-like setting for the overnight study, the technicians are able to accurately and discretely monitor the patient.

New Jersey governor Chris Christie is deciding whether to sign a ban that outlaws the practice of letting professional counselors "engage in sexual orientation change efforts with a person under 18."
This ban was officially approved by a state Senate committee on Monday, but is now awaiting Christie's final decision on passing the ban or abandoning it. The practice, which is referred to as "conversion therapy," is sometimes associated with fundamentalist Christian groups who are against homosexuality. This type of therapy even goes to extreme measures (shock therapy, for instance). Medical associations, such as the American Medical Association, oppose such medical procedures.
Even though Christie is still considering supporting the ban, a spokeswoman (Maria Comella) for the governor made sure to state that Christie "does not believe in conversion therapy" for homosexuals. She also stated that:
There is no mistaking his point of view on this when you look at his own prior statements where he makes clear that people's sexual orientation is determined at birth.
Share it!Share on Facebook Twitter Google+ Email
Christie spoke to the Star Ledger on Thursday and clarified his thoughts on "conversion therapy":
I'm of two minds just on this stuff in general. Number one, I think there should be lots of deference given to parents on raising their children. I don't – this is a general philosophy, not to his bill – generally philosophically, on bills that restrict parents' ability to make decisions on how to care for their children, I'm generally a skeptic of those bills. Now, there can always be exceptions to those rules and this bill may be one of them.
A CNN video report on this story can be viewed below:
Christie's democratic challenger for this November's governor election, state Sen. Barbara Buono, took a stab at her competitor for his hesitance for taking a stance on the matter. She spoke to CNN and noted that his differing trains of thought are "disgusting":
His intolerance has no place in our state. The governor said he doesn't know much about gay conversion therapy. But I don't know how much more you need to know.
The topic of homosexuality has involved Christie's law making stances once before. Last February, he vetoed a bill that would have allowed same-sex marriage couples to wed. In his defense, he stated that this issue should ultimately be decided by state voters, not state lawmakers.

Samba Project Considering Purchasing License for Windows Protocols
Now that Microsoft has stated that it is prepared to give competitors access to technical documentation in a case heard by the EU Commission, the Samba project is considering purchasing a license.
The Samba project can afford the asking price, which is estimated at around 10,000 euros, says Samba developer Volker Lendecke. "But we need to investigate the legal implications of this step", said Lendecke at the fringe of the Perspektive Open Source Conference.
The project is in close contact with FSF legal expert Eben Moglen who will be investigating the terms of the license. "The step would be a major boost to Samba as regards implementing an Active Directory server", says Lendecke referring to the advantages of the license. If the project detected a deviation between the specification and the implementation, Microsoft would be required to modify its products or specifications. In both cases the developers at the Open Source project expect improved conformity and interoperability with Windows clients and servers.

The captain of the Seastreak ferry told federal investigators that mechanical problems are to blame for the Wednesday crash in Lower Manhattan, according to the Star Ledger.
Capt. Jason Reimer, who has been identified as a local resident, told the National Transportation Safety Board Thursday that the vessel's controls "did not respond" when he approached Pier 1 from Highlands Wednesday morning. The ensuing crash left more than 70 people injured.
"Both diesel engines shut off," National Transportation Safety Board member Robert Sumwalt told the newspaper.
The Seastreak was recently updated with new engines and a modified propulsion system, the paper reported.
The federal investigators also interviewed Reimer's crew and Seastreak's engineer and are scheduled to inspect the vessel's systems and damage today.
The Safety Board asks any witnesses to the incident to email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Otago Volts all set for big moment
Today is D-day for the Otago Volts.
It is the day that 15 players have been getting excited about as the weeks have passed.
Tonight the Volts will take part in, arguably, southern cricket's biggest-ever moment.
The Volts will meet South African team Cape Cobras in Hyderabad, India, in their opening game of the Indian Champions League twenty20 tournament.
The league features the best 12 domestic teams from throughout the world, and Otago progressed after they won the 2008-09 domestic competition.
For many in the group of 15, this two-week tournament will be the biggest cricket event they will ever play in, with a total prize pool of $9million up for grabs.
Otago enter the tournament rank outsiders, at $18 to win the overall prize, and tonight are at $2.90 to beat Cape Cobras.
Otago coach Mike Hesson is happy to be written off heading into the tournament.
"We know in twenty20 cricket anything is possible. You've just got to front up on the day," Hesson told NZPA. "We're the underdogs of the tournament, which isn't a bad thing. Hopefully, we will be underestimated."
The Cobras opened the tournament with a good win over Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Bangalore posted an impressive 180 from their 20 overs but that still wasn't enough to contain the South Africans.
A sublime 99 from 52 balls from JP Duminy got the Cobras home with two balls to spare.
Tonight's Otago-Cape Cobras coverage starts at 11.30 and will be screened live on Sky Sport 1.
Meanwhile, the New Zealand domestic schedule was confirmed yesterday.
As expected, Invercargill has been allocated a one-day, four-day and twenty20 fixture for the 2009-10 season.
Alexandra and Oamaru have both been included on the calendar but a lot will depend on whether the grounds are proven to be up to speed in time.

Join Front Range Anglers on a Saltwater Trip to
DATE: May 2-8, 2005
Southwater Caye is a 12-acre island located on the edge of the second largest barrier reef in the world. It is home to dozens of saltwater game species. Two years ago, 27 species of fish were caught on the fly! Besides its tropical beauty, this location is especially known for its Permit.
IZE Cottages is a delightful series of comfortable cabanas situated right on the water at Southwater Caye. Our hosts, Jen and Mack, run this wonderful little resort with a warm and friendly style and laid-back atmosphere. The bar at the lodge is located right on the water and is equipped with a pool table and satellite TV. The resort also has high-speed internet access.
Southwater Caye is ideally situated on the edge of numerous islands and tidal flats. Many of our guests who come here for the first time to fish the flats are thrilled by the quality of the tuna fishing that can be found just outside the reef. However, what really makes this an excellent fishing destination is the remarkable number of Permit found in the area. It's common to see 50 or more fish on an incoming tide. And for the hard-core angler who can't get enough, there are plenty of late afternoon and night fishing opportunities, offering the chance for more than a 10-hour day.

Cale Bigelow, associate professor of agronomy, talks about opportunities in the department at the annual welcome-back gathering at Purdue University. The gathering is held at the beginning of every school year to welcome returning students and introduce faculty to freshman.
Working in international outreach and agricultural development is something a Purdue Agronomy alumna has wanted to do since she was a child. Her degree from Purdue has allowed her to live that dream. Adrianne Huber, BS '12, majored in international agronomy. She grew up on a hog farm in south eastern Pennsylvania. Although her agriculture influence started on the family farm, she also had a passion for international mission work.
One of the opportunities you can act on as an agronomy of NRES student at Purdue is to become a Purdue Agronomy/NRES Ambassador. Learn more about what they do by checking out thier blog.

Roles and guidelines
The APHA Press program relies on all parties following roles for the creation and production of the books as well as APHA Press writing guidelines. Multiple author and editor roles are found here , the single author role here, and the role of the APHA Publications Board Liaison is here.
APHA publishing prospectus Guidelinesfor submitting book proposals to the APHA Press
The book prospectus process typically involves three steps: an informal inquiry, a prospectus, and a contract. A prospectus for books should be submitted to the Publications Board in the form of a "Prospectus," a 1000-1200-word description of the project containing the information found below.
Step 1 – an informal inquiry
To help authors get to the prospectus stage a short inquiry about the book should be sent to the Director of Publications or to email@example.com. This inquiry must be sent via email and include a few paragraphs describing the book, the lead authors, and their current positions, and why the book is an important addition to the public health literature. This inquiry will be reviewed by the Publications Board who may have questions or recommendations that will help guide authors to create a complete prospectus. Authors can expect a response by the Publications Board in about a month.
Step 2 - the prospectus
The prospectus should include the following:
Authors and Contributors
· Names, affiliations, and addresses of the lead authors/editors.
· The names affiliations and addresses of the proposed contributors if the book will have multiple authors. An indication of whether or not the proposed contributors have been contacted and have agreed to write the chapter as specified in the outline.
Reason for the book
Provide a clear and precise statement of the public health topic or issue to be addressed and why it is pertinent, timely, and worthy of publication. Please assess how the proposed publication would fit into the existing literature on the same or related topics and what it might add to this literature.
Please provide:
· A proposed table of contents or outline of contents including a few sentences under each chapter heading summarizing the main theme of each chapter
· An estimated timetable for the completion of the work
· Short resumes of lead authors/editor
· For the lead author of each chapter provide a 100 word biosketch summarizing their qualifications as relevant to the theme of the proposed collection
About your book
Please provide a description of your book in no more than 150 words. This may form the basis of the copy that will appear on the book's cover and in publicity materials. Please therefore explain as clearly as possible what is important about your book, and how it differs from other treatments of the subject.
Key features
Please describe the key features of your book and explain how they will benefit its readers. Please list at least three.
Competing literature
Please list any books in the same topical area as the one you are proposing.
Marketing your book
Please identify who your book is written for and provide substantial information on who the likely buyers will be – for example, associations, institutions, professors, heath care professionals, etc.
Special sales
Your book may have sales potential outside the traditional bookshop, library and academic markets. Please list any institutions, training companies or business organizations that might be interested in making a bulk purchase. In our experience, these sales are most successful where we are given specific contact details. Please append any additional details to this document if required

Attach a short resume of lead authors/editors
In addition, the following attachment should be included: For each lead author or editor, a four to six page resume is requested, including (1) relevant education, (2) a short description of the most relevant background experiences for the subject area of the prospectus, and (3) citation details of substantial number of relevant publications by the lead authors/editors. Please note that six pages is the maximum resume length per person. (Resume word count is not included in the 1,200 word limit noted above.) These short resumes are not required for authors of specific chapters if the authors are not a lead author/editor for the project but a 100-word biosketch is required.
Policy on expenses
It should be noted that it is not APHA policy to compensate authors or editors for their time and efforts. However, APHA has a modest budget to cover approved expenses. Approved expenses are those incurred in the preparation of a manuscript, such as costs for photocopying, telephone calls, mail, office supplies, etc. These items should be budgeted in consultation with the APHA Director of Publications.
Submitting the prospectus
Before submitting the prospectus the lead author/editors are requested to check that all questions have been addressed and the resumes are included. A Prospectus may be submitted to the Publications Board at any time by e-mailing a Word document directly to Nina Tristani (firstname.lastname@example.com), Director of Publications, American Public Health Association.
Review and principal ppproval
A preliminary review of the Prospectus is conducted by the Director of Publications. If all items have been fully addressed, the Prospectus is forwarded to all members of the Publications Board for review. If the Prospectus is incomplete (see above), then the Director of Publications will return it to the authors, requesting that it be revised and resubmitted. In some instances a prospectus might be sent for review to 2-3 individuals who are not Publication Board members but are experts in the topical area of the prospectus.
All completed prospectuses are discussed and voted on at the next semi-annual meeting of the Board or via a conference call involving Board members. After full discussion, decisions by the Board on a Prospectus may include: rejecting the prospectus, requesting more information to facilitate a decision, or accepting the prospectus. The second or third option may include a request for a few draft sample chapters or revision/elaboration of the outline. Decisions by the Board on a completed Prospectus can be expected in three months.
Acceptance of a prospectus is conditional upon the lead author providing a sample chapter, or some substantive sample of the writing for this product to be reviewed by the Director of Publications and several Board members. Also, in projects where there are multiple contributors the lead author/editor is asked to confirm the willingness of all authors to participate prior to acceptance of the prospectus.
If the Publications Board accepts the prospectus, the Director of Publications will notify the lead author/editor of the decision either to request further information and materials or to go forward with the project.
If the decision is to go forward, a Publisher's Agreement and Copyright Transfer agreement will be forwarded for the appropriate signatures, and the stipulated the responsibilities of authors and editors will go into effect (see next paragraph).
Manuscript development
The authors/editors are responsible for the final development of the manuscript, but will receive assistance from a member of the Board appointed to serve as primary liaison between the Board and the lead authors/editors. If the Board believes that additional expertise is needed, the Board and liaison may seek consultation from an appropriate expert not on the Publications Board. The expert may review portions of the prospectus or the entire prospectus. Any information give to an outside expert will be provided confidentially. The role of the liaison is to review the manuscript in draft form and suggest substantive changes in order to strengthen and streamline the final product.
In most cases, the editorial style of APHA books should conform to the Chicago Manual of Style. This manual may be purchased from any university or specialty bookstore. However, if the contributing authors/editors or the targeted audience are more accustomed to a different reference style (AMA, APA), APHA is willing to discuss alternatives, and lead authors/editors should contact the APHA Book Production Coordinator.
Another essential document to consult in the writing of the work is the "Guidelines for Authors and Editors of APHA Book Projects." The Guidelines for Authors and Editors will be sent to authors/editors once the project is approved. Editors should share the appropriate guidelines promptly with the contributors.
Final review and final approval
When the authors/editors judge their work to be complete, they present the fully developed manuscript to the liaison that conducts a final review and may make changes and, if appropriate, recommends publication of the manuscript to the Chair of the Publications Board and the Director of Publications.
The Chair of the Publications Board accepts or rejects the recommendation. The Director of Publications conducts a final publisher's review and reserves the right to initiate revisions with the authors/editors before confirming that the manuscript is ready to be published. If for any reason the Publications Board finds it is unable to approve final publication, the material will be returned to the author.
Looking ahead: editing and production
During the production process the authors/editors will work closely with the APHA Director of Publications and the Book Production Coordinator. All manuscripts are copyedited for grammatical correctness, clarity, consistency, and adherence to Chicago style. Authors/editors will be asked to answer outstanding queries before the manuscript is set in type. They will also be asked to proofread galleys and check pages.
Step 3 – the contract
The Director of Publications will prepare a contract.
If you have questions, please feel free to contact David Hartogs, Senior marketing manager.
We value and appreciate your interest in publishing with APHA Press!
