Texas A&M University System Chancellor John Sharp is looking to save money through outsourcing, and a group of Texas A&M University students plan to rally the student body in opposition.
The Texas Tribune reports that Sharp is seeking bidders to outsource food services, janitorial services, building maintenance and landscaping. Those four services currently comprise 1,880 employees with an annual budget of $92.3 million.
This has caused a stir among faculty and staff. According to the Bryan-College Station Eagle, the Texas A&M Faculty Senate is in unanimous opposition to the plan. The body passed a resolution that states the senate opposes "the move to outsource Texas A&M services without the due diligence of shared governance." During a town hall meeting with Sharp, staff members shared their concerns about the possibility of losing their jobs.
"There hasn't been a strong student voice in the matter," said Valery Owen, one of the organizers of the student protest. "These are services that directly affect the students, and we should have a say in what happens. In addition, one of the main reasons given for the potential outsourcing is to help the students by keeping tuition low, so the students should certainly have a say in what is decided."
The group says that the university administration has pursued the changes under the guise of keeping tuition low for students, but they take issue with using students as an excuse to make changes they say will have negative impacts. "Human beings are not expendable," said Owen. "The people whose jobs are being jeopardized are human beings and deserve to be treated as such. Although we believe that keeping tuition low should be a priority, it should not be at the expense of loyal employees, many of which are making relatively low wages."
"One major goal of the student protest is to show the administration that there are plenty of students who oppose outsourcing," said Owen. The group hopes that it raises awareness and support among students who may not have known about this situation otherwise. "We also want the people whose jobs are being affected by the potential outsourcing to know that there are students who stand behind them and care more about human beings than money."
Using social media and other online tools has been part of the group's strategy to raise awareness. A Facebook event page has been created to inform students of the protest, and 74 people have confirmed their plans to attend a protest today. The group will meet at the Sul Ross statue in Academic Plaza at 4:30 pm, and participants are encouraged to bring signs. An online petition at Change.org has attracted more than 170 signatures from those who oppose the administration's outsourcing plan. "No matter what the turnout is like, the petition and protest together is evidence that the students are not unanimously supportive of outsourcing," said Owen. "We are hoping media coverage will make even more people aware of outsourcing, and the effect it would have on so many people's lives."
Terrance Edmond, a student senator, told the Texas Independent that the long term effects of outsourcing will be an excessive turnover rate for employees working under contractual terms. "While numerically, outsourcing may allow the A&M system to shift cost, high turnover rate among potential employees will inevitably reduce quality," said Edmond.
"Most employees that have worked for Texas A&M University for ten plus years have not done so for their salary," said Edmond. "Many of the employees maintain job stability for the sake of organizational connection, benefits, and the assurance of working for a public institution. Even if these very benefits were mirror imaged into the private companies' plan, the conditions by which the benefits are executed will change due to operational differences. Long-term, you will have a Texas A&M University that is no longer an institution, but an operation."
To back up their claims, the group points to a report by the Association of College Unions International that examines how outsourcing affects the university culture as a whole. According to the report, potential downsides of outsourcing include "loss of institutional control of the outsourced area, human resource problems, and campus exposure to additional risks such as bankruptcy or the sale of a company." The report concludes that "Outsourcing is not conclusively helpful or harmful to campus climate."

Things I liked:Once the sights are adjusted, the accuracy is outstanding. It is also very adaptable to adding a red dot optic. I really enjoy shooting this air pistol.
Things I would have changed:Nothing! It already has a number of outstanding features and functionality.
What others should know:It is a great air pistol to shoot.
Things I liked:Extremely accurate, fully adjustable everything. very good trigger. shoots a 7 grain pellet @ 471-475fps every shot. very easy to cock and load. I like the idea of fileing my own grip "which I did" and I really like it. no plastic. nothing cheap on this thing. I can consistently hit soda cans @36 yards with a domed pellet. its not particular about what you feed it either, but the higher end pellet will shoot better,"no flyers". at 10 meters I can shoot most all of my shots "inside" the 9 ring of a B40 10meter target with the heavy the 8.2 meisterkuglens, and it does really well with the 8.64 h&n field target trophy. I am basically an offhand paper shooter, "paper doesn't lie" and it will shoot better than in can hold it. I have yet to shoot a single pellet off a rest.
Things I would have changed:the gun itself is excellent as is, but it was really hard for me to shell out 560 dollars for this, but everything is way too expensive now days anyway. I think I will get $560 worth of enjoyment out of it. outside the price being a bit high I would not change anything so far.
What others should know:I just did some more chrony testing. As mentioned above the 7 grain meisterkuglen shoots 471 to 475 fps and groups very well. the 8.2 grain meisterkuglen shoots 419-420 fps EVERY time and will shoot in one hole. and last the H&N F T Trophy shoots 406 to 421. I found that to be a bit odd because they still shoot really well at 36 yards. Ive still have about 10 more pellet types/brands to work with but the above info should help you decide what to start with. Also I HAVE to mention PYRAMID AIR and give them 2 thumbs up for the service and the effort they put forth in keeping me happy. I am considering starting an air gun club here in MO to help kids get started into air gunning and hunting and I will recommend everyone to go with PYRAMID AIR FOR PURCHASES. These guys are second to none with their prices, knowledge of product and professionalism. One more thing don't be discouraged if the gun shoots a "loose" group right out of the box. Clean the barrel, give it about 200 shots and it will drive nails.
Things I liked:Wow! This is my first air pistol and is everything I thought it would be. It shoots a variety of pellets well and if the pellet doesn't go where you want it to, It's not the gun's fault, Great accuracy, trigger
Things I would have changed:Maybe make the literature that accompanies the gun a little more helpful.
What others should know:I have put a scope on it and shoot it two handed. It's more fun than should be allowed, It's a quality pistol and super value for those that want trigger time at an affordable price.

Mystery Easter Eggs
What's this? A basket full of strange grey eggs, oh my. And there's a sign!
"Come near, come forth,
Fondle an egg!
"But what's in them?!" you might retort
Well that's a secret, no matter how you beg.
Patience, young magling,
They bide their time
within days there may be a hatchling
With playful nature and colours fine"
Eggs available for adopting for 2k each:
The eggs have gone crazy and keep popping up everywhere! You can now adopt as many as you want! Due to the eggs being everywhere you can't choose their numbers any more, though. Please also note that I will only be able to post your egg images mostly on the afternoons, around onwards from 1PM EDT. You can naturally order any time but I won't be able to put the images up until that time.
These mystery eggs are everywhere! Grab some!
Special events! - RAFFLE
April 11th:
1500 eggs have now been adopted out so it's time for a new event!
Every creature that has a number after 1500 and has been adopted before April 13th (i.e. your request post has to be posted latest on April 12th 11:59 PM EDT) will give you a ticket to be entered into a raffle. On friday the 13th of April sixteen tickets will be drawn randomly. Fifteen of the tickets will get a limited edition bunny and one ticket will get to request a custom bunny (egg + adult) which will become one of a kind!
April 8th: A new egg has been spotted! It is a RC5 egg.
April 5th: If you reach 250 adopted eggs today (time measured in EDT) everyone who has adopted eggs by then will receive a special limited edition egg for free!
No, really, what's this all about?
Special things you can do to or with your eggs!

Trading eggs
You can trade your eggs for other eggs to e.g. get more rarer eggs or try for different colours. Trading works like this:
- You can only trade unfrozen, unnamed eggs.
- You can make three trades within one day.
- You can only trade one colour eggs in one go. This means you cannot trade e.g. a brown and a yellow egg for something, but you can trade two brown eggs for something.
- The trading system is based on the eggs' rarity class (marked as RC later on). You can trade more common eggs for rarer ones but not the other way around.
- The resulting eggs will be determined randomly within the target Rarity Class.
- In order to trade, post the numbers of the eggs you want to trade and tell which rarity class egg you wish to obtain.
- You cannot trade limited edition eggs.
Rarity Class 5 (most common)
You can trade two RC5 eggs for one RC4 egg.
You can trade five RC5 eggs for one RC3 egg.
You can trade thirteen RC5 eggs for one RC2 egg.
You can trade twenty RC5 eggs for one RC1 egg.
Rarity Class 4
You can trade two RC4 eggs for one RC3 egg.
You can trade five RC4 eggs for one RC2 egg.
You can trade thirteen RC4 eggs for one RC1 egg.
Rarity Class 3
You can trade two RC3 eggs for one RC2 egg.
You can trade five RC3 eggs for one RC1 egg.
Rarity Class 2
You can trade two RC2 eggs for one RC1 egg.
Rarity Class 1 (rarest)
You can trade one RC1 egg for one RC1 egg. Please keep in mind that the resulting egg will be determinded randomly so it's not guaranteed you'll get a different kind of an egg than what you put in the trade.
Trading chart:
RC5: 2x = 1x RC4; 5x = 1x RC3; 13x = 1x RC2; 20x = 1x RC1
RC4: 2x = 1x RC3; 5x = 1x RC2; 13x = 1x RC1
RC3: 2x = 1x RC2; 5x = 1x RC1;
RC2: 2x = 1x RC1
RC1: 1x = 1x RC1
Eggs and their Rarity Classes:
Which egg is which?
You can name your creature if you want. Naming is free. Just let me know the number of the creature you want to name and what you want to name it.
You can freeze your egg if you want. Freezing is free. Just let me know the number of the creature you want to freeze, and that egg will remain as an egg even when other eggs hatch.
Breeding is not available currently.

Repair Them Or Junk Them?
County of Fresno Fleet Services Division shares how they handled this quandary
Often, fiscal constraints compel fleets to keep some vehicles and equipment in service for much longer than originally intended. As a consequence, maintenance costs increase, availability for vehicle and equipment use decreases and more frequent inspections and services are required. The dilemma becomes: When to replace aging vehicles and equipment rather than continue to repair them?
Typically, the overriding factor is money. But for the County of Fresno's Fleet Services Division, facing the repair versus replace quandary on its aging fleet of mobile fueling and service trucks, the determining factor was – of all things – government regulations.
Fresno, nicknamed the Raisin Capitol, is located in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, an area known for its large agricultural production. The fifth largest city in California, it is located south of Stockton and north of Bakersfield.
Fresno County covers some 6,000 square miles. Fleet Services manages the County's vehicle and construction equipment fleet. Under the direction of Allen Moore, Fleet Services Manager, and Dennis Kerns and Greg Buckley, Fleet Services Supervisors, the division is responsible for the fleet's maintenance and procurement. This includes fleet planning, acquisition, maintenance and sale of surplus equipment.
All maintenance is performed in one fully equipped shop that operates weekdays with one shift and 31 employees - 16 technicians, three welders, three parts people and the nine support people. The division also operates 19 fueling sites located throughout Fresno County, plus provides transportation services through a centralized motor pool.
Fleet Services' fleet is composed of 850 cars and light trucks, 150 pieces of construction equipment and 145 heavy duty trucks and trailers, including the four mobile fueling and service trucks, says Moore.
The four mobile service vehicles are operated by employees from the County's Public Works (PW) Department and each vehicle is domiciled at a specific PW yard, Kerns says. The old trucks were diesel-powered 1980 Ford flatbeds that had been jerry-rigged to serve as field service trucks. The trucks were used to change oil and fluids and do minor repairs and services to the County's PW equipment in the field.
Despite the age of the trucks, the one element that pushed the decision to replace the trucks was environmental regulations.
In February 2006, the California Air Resources Board adopted the Diesel Particulate Matter Control Measure for on-road heavy duty diesel vehicles operated by public agencies, Moore explains. This regulation mandates that municipal vehicle owners reduce diesel particulate matter emissions from their affected vehicles.
As a result, Fleet Services implemented a diesel emission control plan to meet the requirements for "early implementation status," he says. By doing more up front, this pushed out the compliance date to July 1, 2012.
This just didn't make good business sense, says Moore. The decision was made to go with new equipment, designed specifically to the application and outfitted with the newest technology.
The objective was threefold: to spec the trucks to achieve operating and maintenance savings, to have the vehicles well-organized for quick and easy access to maximize jobsite productivity and to gain better control and accountability for the metered or pulsed consumables, such as gasoline and diesel, being dispensed into the construction equipment.
This type of accountability has been in place at all of the County's fueling facilities for the past 15 years, he notes. Each location is equipped with an E.J. Ward automated fuel management system (www.ejward.com) to help assure the security and accountability of fuel.
Fleet Services uses the FleetFocus fleet management software from AssetWorks (www.assetworks.com), a provider of fleet asset and maintenance management solutions. Moore says FleetFocus is used to track all functions related to the maintenance of vehicles and equipment, including processing repair and preventive maintenance work orders, capturing operating expenses and doing billing and tracking for vehicle equipment usage.

I believe that as their pharmicudical counterpart produces reality – so in a sense – these things can really happen if you possibly can control the thoughts in your thoughts. Transcendental Deep breathing is favorite among yogi's and they've been known to try and do miraculous things inside physical planet (quit heartbeat, stop inhale, etc.) that's unexplainable except to state that mental performance creates the certainty we many live within.
If this pain you speak of is brought on by strengthening in the muscle, rather when compared with back difficulties, practice seated erect throughout the day as to strengthen these muscles. This way you can take advantage of the strengthening during meditation, without actually being from the act distracting you through your practice.

Q: We live in the Kutztown area and use Route 222 eastbound several times a month. Just about a half-mile after we pass the Terry Hill water park on the right side of 222, there are several utility poles leaning toward the highway. We've noticed this since the early snowstorm of October 2011 and subsequent heavy rains. Who owns these poles, and are they not required to inspect this type of situation periodically as a matter of preventive maintenance? This could be a serious road hazard should one of those poles decide to pull out of the ground and land on any passing cars.
— Carol Mack, Rockland Township, Berks County
A: You're right, Carol, two of the familiar wood utility poles are leaning heavily toward the road there, along the south side of the 9600 block of northbound (geographically eastbound) Route 222, just east of the Schantz Road intersection and the sprawling TEK Park property.

When I went behind the poles (to the south) to find out what was going on, I was surprised to find each of the angled poles secured by a polyurethane (or some kind of plastic) rope, one end tied near the top of the pole, the other attached to an inch-thick steel rod sledge-hammered into the ground and angled away from the pole.
The tie-down job seemed to offer a Hummer of a hint that the situation is temporary, and indeed it is.
PPL Corp. is in the process of replacing the two poles, company spokesman Joe Nixon said. They were simply worn out, having reached the end of their useful lives, he said, though all the wet weather you mention from late last year could have fueled their demise, Carol. Nixon said the poles were leaning when the work crew arrived in April. Perhaps the weather conditions smoothed their road to the junk yard.
There's an unusual topographical condition on that side of the road, as several tall mounds rise along the path of the utility poles and wires. I'm not sure if they're natural or man-made, though I can't imagine why anyone would have built them there, at the edge of a road bordered by rolling farmland.
In any event, the PPL workers replaced the shorter, 35-foot poles on the mounds with new 50-foot poles on level ground, Nixon said. That seems like a good choice; there's a lot of shale in the area, and it doesn't appear to my untrained eye that the mounds provide a great deal of stability. The single electrical line (the electrical lines are always on top, with any other utility lines mounted lower on the poles) was moved to the new poles, but the individual utility companies are responsible for moving their own lines.
The old poles will be removed, but before that happens, workers from Verizon and Service Electric Cable TV need to move their respective lines from the leaning poles to the new models put in by PPL, Nixon said. Service Electric was notified in July, and is expected to have its lines moved by the end of this month, and Verizon should follow, Nixon said.
"When that is done, we'll go in and remove" the old poles, he said.
It seems to be taking quite a while, but based on my experience, that's not so unusual. Rightly or wrongly, coordinating work schedules between the various state, municipal and private road- and utility-work agencies and companies often seems to create speed bumps for project completion. Schedule coordination problems also can result in newly repaved roads being dug up sooner than they should be.
Meanwhile, Nixon said the rods are secure, and the leaning poles on Route 222 are in no danger of falling down. I'm not sure if they're long enough to reach the road if they would fall, even from atop the little hills, but I wouldn't want to risk it either way.
I've seen utility poles "on the diagonal" from time to time, but those cases mostly involve heavily-laden poles that require extra support, and the angled pole is attached near the top, its opposite end embedded in the ground. That's a permanent condition sometimes called a "push brace."
Some fellow warriors have reported damaged poles temporarily stabilized by rope, and Nixon said the procedure is used on occasion until a permanent solution can be effected.
I trust the leaning towers of 222 will be removed as soon as possible, Carol.

Griselda Pollock to Speak on Alfred Stevens November 9
For Immediate Release
October 31, 2000
WILLIAMSTOWN, MA (October 31, 2000) – Griselda Pollock, professor of social and critical histories of art at the University of Leeds, England, will speak at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute on Thursday, November 9, at 5:30 p.m. Her topic will be "Extimacy and Interiority: Alfred Stevens and the Inner Spaces of Modernity." Pollock will address the work of Belgian artist Alfred Stevens between 1861 and the early 1870s and his themes of the interior—both the interior spaces of houses and the inner reflection of his female subjects. The lecture is free and open to the public. A reception will follow.
Pollock is guest curator of the Clark's current exhibition, Interventions: Griselda Pollock Looks at Alfred Stevens. She is director of the Center for Cultural Studies, director of the Center for Jewish Studies, and director of Graduate Studies and Research in Feminist Theory, History, and Art at the University of Leeds. She has written extensively on the feminine in the social history of art and in cultural and psychoanalytic theory. Her many publications include the books Generations and Geographies in the Visual Arts, Avant-Garde Gambits: Gender and the Colour of Art History, and the forthcoming Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art Histories. On view through January 7, 2001, Interventions is a new program at the Clark in which prominent art historians, critics, and artists are invited to interpret works of art from the permanent collection in innovative and provocative ways. With her Intervention, Pollock explores the Clark's paintings by Alfred Stevens within the broader context of modern art. Stevens's highly finished paintings, often depicting elegantly dressed women in fashionable interiors or garden settings, are some of the most memorable and engaging genre scenes of the late nineteenth century. With twelve paintings, including his Four Seasons, the Clark has one of the most important collections of Stevens's works outside Europe.
The Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Admission is free through May. For more information call 413-458-2303 or visit www.clarkart.edu.

WHEELING - Keven Veilleux missed all of last season recovering from a knee injury and was sent to Wheeling by the Pittsburgh Penguins to get into game shape, but that won't be possible any time soon. Veilleux was suspended indefinitely by the Nailers for allegedly using a racial slur during Sunday's victory against South Carolina.
''I'm horrified and I'm disgusted,'' Wheeling alternate governor Tim Roberts said. ''It will not be tolerated.''
Veilleux and South Carolina's Scooter Vaughan, who is African American, fought twice in a 5-0 Wheeling rout. The two were involved in their first incident at 6:48 of the third, and it ended with Veilleux pushing Vaughan through the door to the Nailers' bench.

Keven Veilleux
That wasn't enough for Veilleux, however. He stood for a while in the penalty box, shouting at Vaughan, and this is allegedly the point the slur was used.
After those majors expired, both players remained on the ice for the next face-off. Veilleux could be seen yelling 'let's go' in Vaughan's direction, but was ushered to the bench by an official with an apparent equipment problem.
The 6-foot-5, 224-pound Veilleux didn't stay there long, though. His legs dangled over the bench the entire time, and he jumped back on the ice at the first opportunity. The two took off their helmets and squared off at center ice with Vaughan getting in some early shots before Veilleux buckled him with a right uppercut.
Vaughan played with the Nailers last season and was seen chatting and joking with his former teammates in the parking lot after the game, prior to getting onto the team bus.
Both the Nailers and the ECHL office said they will have further comment this morning.

Wealth & poverty
ICS Press, 1993 - Business & Economics - 327 pages
A worldwide bestseller when first published in 1981, Gilder's classic was returned to print with a new introduction that reminds us how far we have come and how far we have to go. Centralized economic planning, he argues, has failed because it assumes wealth is tangible and limited. Capitalism recognizes the truth - that wealth is transitory, that its source is creativity, courage, and technological adventure. Without entrepreneurs, there is no wealth to distribute.

From the moment that I put them on, I absolutely loved them. They are comfortable. I haven't gotten to wear them a whole lot since it is Winter here, but certainly plan on it in the Summer. Right now, they are making great bedroom shoes to wear around the house. And, of course, they have the FSU logo.

Very sad news this morning as the founder of the
TapouT clothing line Charles Lewis passed away in a car accident today.
Lewis formed one of the premier MMA clothing lines and began selling
out of booths at the side of the road.
I remember meeting Mask at a UFC a few years back - and while he was definitely wild and boisterous - I believe he genuinely cared about the sport and did so long before MMA was popular. TapouT was sponsoring and supporting fighters in the early days when there wasn't a lot of money in the sport, and I think that will be one of the legacies he leaves behind. Known better as Mask - and commonly sporting warpaint on his face - Lewis was well known throughout the MMA community.
Back in the old days Lewis would park and set up a make-shift shop at the side of a road near MMA events such as the early King of the Cage events in California and sell gear to fans who drove by and stopped at the side of the road. In fact, in the early days of TapouT, they didn't even own the domain name TapouT.com and instead used inyaface.com because someone else owned the rights to the domain. TapouT is now a multi-million dollar enterprise and even has it's own TV show.
Lewis' presence in MMA will be missed. Rest in Peace Charles.

The effect of a capital gain distribution on a fund's price
If your fund is down when the market is up, the fund might have just paid a capital gain.
- What is a capital gain? When you sell a capital asset — such as a stock or a bond — for more than you paid for it, you make a profit, or experience a capital gain. So if you buy a stock for $100 and later sell it for $120, your capital gain is $20.
When a fund sells securities at a profit, the sale also generates a capital gain. Two types of capital gains are realized by our funds — short-term and long-term. Net short-term capital gains are distributed to shareholders as income dividends and are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Long-term capital gain distributions are taxed at a maximum rate of 20%*.
- Why do mutual funds pay capital gain distributions? When a mutual fund sells a holding, it receives any profit, or capital gain, that results from the sale. Mutual funds are required by law to distribute virtually all gains to their shareholders in capital gain distributions. These distributions, which typically occur once or twice a year, are made primarily for tax reasons.
- Why does the fund price drop when a capital gain distribution is paid? Fund managers buy and sell securities throughout the year, sometimes at a profit, sometimes at a loss. When profits outweigh losses, they accumulate and contribute to the rise of the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the fund's shares. When that profit is paid out to shareholders, its NAV, or share price, will be reduced by the amount of the distribution.
However, if you reinvest the distribution, as most shareholders do, the number of shares in your account will increase so that the total value of your account will not be affected by the distribution.
- For example… Say a fund share sells at a NAV of $10. If sales of the fund's securities have resulted in the fund making a capital gain distribution of $2 a share during the year, $2 will be deducted from the NAV and paid to shareholders on a specified date. On that date the fund share price will decline to $8.
- Don't worry — you haven't lost any money. You still have $10 in value — $8 in the fund's Net Asset Value, and $2 in your pocket or reinvested in the fund. And if you do automatically reinvest your capital gain distribution, it buys you additional fund shares at the new, lower price of $8. These additional shares compensate for the drop in the NAV, so the total value of your account doesn't change. (Of course, if there is a decline in the market at the same time, you may still see a drop in the total value of your account.)
- For example… If you have 100 shares in your account when the NAV is $10 a share, your account value is $1,000. If the fund pays a capital gain distribution of $2 a share (or $200, since you have 100 shares), the NAV drops to $8 a share and your original 100 shares are now worth $800. However, if you automatically reinvest your capital gain distribution, the $200 distribution buys you $200 worth of shares — at $8 per share. The distribution therefore adds 25 shares ($200 divided by $8) to your account, so you now own 125 shares worth $8 each, for a total of $1,000, which was your original account value before the capital gain distribution was paid.
*This rate does not include the 3.8% surtax applicable to net investment income for higher income taxpayers.

Delta Hotels and Resorts today became the first national hotel chain to commit its Canadian portfolio of properties to the new Green Key Meetings program developed by the Hotel Association of Canada and MPI Foundation Canada. In addition to being Green Key Certified, all 46 Delta Hotels and Resorts have now been given the Green Key Meetings Certification, which provides meeting planners an unbiased guarantee of Delta's commitment to environmental stewardship.
The Green Key Meetings Program is a comprehensive assessment tool for hotel and resort properties that host meetings of any size. The assessment has been designed as a means to providing Travel, Meeting and Conference Planners with the hotel's level of commitment to environmental issues.
"We developed the Green Key Meetings Certification because we know that meeting planners are increasingly looking for comprehensive and transparent information on which hotels are practicing exceptional environmental stewardship, so that they can then make the right recommendations for their clients," said Anthony Pollard, President, Hotel Association of Canada. "Delta Hotel and Resorts is the first national hotel chain to become 100% certified under the program, which is a significant milestone in the evolution of the Green Key Meetings Program."
The Program evaluates a hotel's meeting and convention operations on a scale of one to five, with five being the highest ranking. Results are based on a thorough evaluation of the hotel's sustainability efforts. Upon completion of the Green Key Meetings assessment, the property is awarded a ranking and is listed on www.greenkeymeetings.com, a valuable resource for environmentally conscious event planners.
"This Green Key Meetings Certification is the latest step in our Delta Greens program, which was a revolution in how we approach our business," said Hank Stackhouse, President and CEO, Delta Hotels and Resorts. "We are systematically transforming every aspect of our operations to increase our sustainability, and we are incredibly proud to be the first national chain to achieve this recognition from the Green Key Meetings Program."
Joe Nishi, Immediate-Past Chair of MPI Foundation Canada commends Delta Hotels and Resorts for its leadership role in the Canadian marketplace. "As the first major Canadian hotel chain to sign on their entire portfolio, Delta Hotels and Resorts has demonstrated that they recognize the importance of meeting the expectations of their customers by implementing sustainability best practices in their facilities," says Nishi. "At the same time, they improve operational efficiencies that positively impact their bottom line. This is a perfect alignment with MPI's mandate of People, Planet & Profits. A true win-win-win program for all concerned!"
For more information, please visit www.greenkeymeetings.com.
The Green Key Meetings Program ranks and certifies hotels and resorts based on their commitment to sustainable "green" meeting and conference operations. A partnership between Green Key Global and MPI Foundation Canada, the program delivers relevant green meeting practices by providing specific green requirements that meeting planners expect from hotels. This partnership is a long term commitment to supporting the principles of people, planet and profit.
A leading Canadian hotel management company, Delta Hotels and Resorts operates and franchises a diversified portfolio with 46 full-service, city centre and airport hotels and resorts under the Delta brand. Widely regarded as Canada's "brand of choice" by guests and owners, Delta also distinguishes itself as an exemplary employer. It is the only hotel company to have been recognized for its sustained focus on business excellence by the prestigious National Quality Institute with three Canada Awards for Excellence, including the award program's highest honour, the Order of Excellence (2007). The company has also consistently ranked as one of the country's 50 Best Employers for 11 years, and has been named to the Green 30 since 2010. As well, its national sustainability program, Delta Greens is the most comprehensive and ambitious in the industry touching on every aspect of the hotel business. Its Corporate Social Responsibility platform, Delta Helps, includes a chain-wide commitment to the communities it serves through a national partnership with Habitat for Humanity Canada, participation in the Hotel Association of Canada's Green Key Eco-Rating program, and work with various other charitable groups.
Meeting Professionals International (MPI), the meeting and event industry's largest and most vibrant global community helps our members thrive by providing human connections to knowledge and ideas, relationships, and marketplaces.

Not Your Grandfather's Woodburning
Material List
- Walnut Hollow® Creative Versa-Tool™ Kit
- Basswood Round Plate, 9½"
- Metal Ruler
- Pliers
- Pencil
- Sandpaper, Fine
- Glass or Ceramic Dish, Small
- Spray Varnish, Satin
- Tape
Project Instructions
After reading all manufacturer's instructions found inside the Creative Versa-Tool™ Kit, use pliers to attach Universal Point on Tool. Secure Tool Stand to work surface with tape. Place Tool on Stand. Plug into electric outlet, turn Versa-Temp control dial to Orange Zone and heat for four to five minutes.
Meanwhile, to prepare basswood plate for wood-burning, use fine sandpaper to lightly sand entire plate. Remove dust with a paper towel.
Use a pencil and metal ruler to lightly draw lines to section off border of plate in a random way, as shown in photo. Using metal ruler as a guide, wood-burn plate border with the Universal Point, drawing straight lines to make sections. Turn Versa-Temp control dial to Red Zone.
Fill in "basket weave" section using the Universal Point by placing end of Point directly on wood, then lift off, moving a little, then placing the end of the Point down again, repeating until coming to the end of the row. Create weave with four horizontal lines, then four vertical lines, trying to keep lines even until section is filled.
Fill in another border section on Plate using Universal Point with "crosshatching". Using metal ruler to help keep lines straight, burn straight lines in one direction, then crossing over those lines with lines burned at a different angle. Add an "X" to each place where the lines meet with Universal Point by simply placing the Point halfway between each cross-section and touching the Plate with the Point. Use pliers to remove Universal Point and drop into ceramic dish.
Attach Flow Point securely to Tool with pliers. Fill in two border sections with spiral design, adding single dots also.
Use Flow Point to fill in "flower" section, adding single dots.
Center band is burned solid with the Flow Point. Also add decorative lines as shown in photo to solid straight lines that are used to divide plate border. Use pliers to remove the Flow Point and drop into ceramic dish.
Attach Shading Point securely to Tool with pliers. Add "leaf" designs for border section. Use edge of Shading Point to add stem, pulling line from center of leaf. Small marks in section are also made with edge of Shading Point. Use Shading Point to shade on the very edge of the Plate. This shading doesn't need to be too wide, just enough to burn the edge a nice deep brown to frame the Plate. When complete, remove Shading Point with pliers and drop into ceramic dish.
Attach Tapered Point securely to Tool with pliers. Use Point to make various sizes of circle to fill in center of Plate. Add dots to center of each circle. Add "stitch lines" as shown around outer edge of Plate and inner circle around Plate center. When complete, turn Versa-Temp control dial to "O" (off).
For a protective finish, spray with two or three coats of satin varnish.
Let the heat from the Creative Versa-Tool(TM) do the work for you. No need to press hard, just follow the manufacturer's instructions found with the Tool and have fun.

I have been looking at graduate schools for a while now to better prepare myself for a career in my profession of choice. If you are interested in graduate school as well, you probably had the same question I once did: When and how do I start preparing?
We recently had a graduate school seminar here at Michigan Tech that talked about when to start applying, what to expect, taking the GRE, etc. Here are the points I found most important for one's journey to graduate school:
If you want more information on graduate school, my school has the seminar online for viewing and other resources used in the seminar can be found here. Do your research , stay organized and your acceptance letter will follow!
In addition to being a Scholarships.com virtual intern, Michigan Tech student Kayla Herrera is a media coordinator for the Michigan Tech Youth Programs and is a writer for The Daily News in Iron Mountain, Mich., Examiner.com and WHOA Magazine. She love a tantalizing, action-packed video game and can't get enough of horror movies (Stephen King's books always have her in their grip, though she prefers the old over the new). Writing is what she has always done, and that is what she is here to do.

After experiencing another Thanksgiving filled with laughter, tons of delicious food and family gatherings, I realized that graduation was right around the corner. Each morning, I hoped that the date would magically jump to December 17th so that I could walk across the stage and receive my bachelor's degree; with all of my wishing, that day did arrive and all of my emotions hit me full blast.
I was excited to be done with my undergraduate work, I was nervous about potentially falling as I accepted my diploma in front of thousands of people, I was anxious to see what the future held for me and I was sad when I realized that I would no longer get to experience campus life anymore. Despite the fact that I was overcome with emotion, I sported the biggest smile as I proudly stood in line waiting for the graduation ceremony to begin.
Leading up to the commencement exercises, all of the soon-to-be graduates lined up backstage and I saw just how many students were aboard the same emotional rollercoaster as me. Some were so excited they could not stand still, some appeared sick to their stomachs and some tried to remain calm while clearly fighting back tears. When my name was called and I headed toward Memphis' president to receive my diploma, my goal of obtaining a degree in less than four years – with several different honors, too! – became a reality. It was everything I'd imagined, plus so much more.
What happened next? I walked down the stairs (without falling!) and breathed a big sigh of relief. As I passed my seat, I felt extremely accomplished and wanted to keep the success I had as an undergraduate going for the rest of my life. With law school and internships on the horizon, it's only a matter of time before the world sees just what I am capable of.

It is a new year, which means new classes, new professors, new people and new adventures but for some of us, this January marks the beginning of the end: It is our last semester of college before we go out into the real world.
That day isn't here quite yet, though, and we soon-to-be graduates still have classes, homework and the responsibilities of extracurricular activities on top of applying for jobs or grad schools and taking care of last minute graduation stuff. In addition to all the work, we still want to spend time with our friends, go on spring break, relax and just have fun. So how do you do it all without going crazy?
I'm not an expert but I am quickly learning that the key is to prioritize. Make a list of all the things that you need to do – think: class assignments, preparing for tests, etc.) – and schedule when to do those things. With this method, you will know when you have to be serious about your school work and when you have time to kick back a little.
I personally have come to adopt a "work hard, play hard" strategy: I work hard by getting all my school work and studying done before and after classes, applying for jobs and taking care of any administrative stuff during the week and then I have the weekend to hang out with friends and have fun.
Just because this method works for me doesn't mean it will work for you - we all have different goals and there really is no "right way" to handle your last semester. Take the first few weeks to determine your path but I recommend organizing, prioritizing and scheduling your commitments and leisure activities. You may not have time to do every single thing you want to do exactly when you want to do it but you'll come pretty close!

Most college campuses offer tutoring centers where students can have classmates help them with any academic issues. Unfortunately, some students are either too embarrassed or proud to utilize these study services but they should know there are other students out there (like me!) who are willing to assist them outside a formal tutoring environment.
I found private tutoring to be a wise choice for several reasons. If you tutor classmates for free, you may be able to document these instances as community service, which employers and admissions committees for graduate and professional schools love to see. If you charge a fee for your services, however, it also allows you to make some extra money on the side while reviewing material you need for your own classes. Tutoring also allows you to make connections across campus by meeting new people who could eventually become good friends with; you may also encounter someone who might return the favor by tutoring you if you ever need help in their area of expertise. You are not limited to tutoring your fellow college students, either: You can also sign up to tutor at a local high school, middle school or elementary school – a move that allows you to make connections in the community and help you when you look for employment in the future.
Tutoring is a win-win situation and I would encourage all college students to try it if you have the chance – you never know where it could lead!

The cost of college is a huge factor for a high school senior about to head off to college for the first time, a transfer student getting ready to continue his or her education at a four-year school and an undergrad preparing to pursue a graduate degree. If the student can't afford to attend a specific school, an alternate institution that better fits his or her college budget should be selected...but what if tuition is still undetermined before the enrollment deadline?
This scenario is common at public universities across the country, as they cannot announce the next year's tuition until they know how much funding they will receive from their respective states. Though schools like Towson and UVa offer estimates, banking on those figures is a gamble: For example, VCU raised tuition 24 percent in 2010 and the average public university in California raised expenses 21 percent last year – sizeable increases few college hopefuls could have expected. Colleges in this position have to work out preliminary financial aid packages based on the current year's costs and adjust the awards after tuition is set. Students weighing their enrollment options at private universities have it much easier: A recent report projected private tuition would rise between 4 and 5 percent for next year but schools including Georgetown, UPenn and Goucher have already set and posted their tuition rates for the upcoming academic year.
Are you still waiting on next year's tuition rates to make your college choice?

I don't think most students will disagree with me when I say college messes with your head. It's not a bad thing to become wrapped up in the culture and "crazy" things start to seem "normal" – midnight pancake breakfasts, grown men dressed up as professional wrestlers breaking chairs on each other in the quad, and just dorm food in general all become regular life – yet one of the most confusing parts of college is that the classes that consume so much of your time and energy really only count for so much.
I remember being consumed by my senior honors thesis my last year and vaguely thinking "Huh, I should probably be applying for jobs..." but with the exception of a few research fellowships, I couldn't imagine taking the time. Objectively, that job hunt was way more important than whether I got a B or an A- on that last Spanish major requirement because one class out of 40 just doesn't affect your GPA that much. How much time you spend on outside activities and jobs versus academics, however, does affect your employment choices.
Like I've said before, employers want to see experience. Life experience, not classroom experience (this statement should obviously be modified for those planning on Ph.D. programs or going straight into non-professional graduate programs), is vital and whether you're applying for medical school, a paralegal job or want to be in the business world, internships and volunteer work matter. They prove you have practical skills and good professional recommendations show you are easy to work with, which is more important than you think. Many employers calculate your attitude and demeanor into the hiring decision: They can retrain you on skills you're lacking but it's hard to reprogram someone who's annoying the heck out of everyone in the office.
Obviously, your GPA is important (for example, Google won't hire anyone with under a 3.5) but most employers care about your concrete skills more than they do about your successful memorization of Don Quijote's final stanzas. So as hard as it may be, I actually counsel putting down those books sometimes and putting extra effort into that job or internship search, even if it may feel counterintuitive. That means completing informational interviews, exploring both externship and (sigh) unpaid internships and really utilizing your alumni network. But those are topics for another week.
Liz Coffin-Karlin grew up in Sarasota, Florida, where the sun is always shining and it's unbearably hot outside. She went to college at Northwestern University and after studying Spanish and history, she decided to study abroad in Buenos Aires. In college, she worked on the student newspaper (The Daily Northwestern), met people from all over the world at the Global Engagement Summit and, by her senior year, earned the title of 120-hour dancer at NU's annual Dance Marathon. She just moved to San Francisco and is currently working on a political campaign on ocean pollution but will be teaching middle school or high school Spanish this upcoming fall and working on her teaching certificate.

College students who want to attend graduate school not only need good grades, excellent recommendation letters and related experience in the field they're planning to enter but also a solid score on the Graduate Record Examination, or GRE. But what happens if the score you receive isn't what you (and the schools you're applying to) were expecting? Starting in July, it's ScoreSelect to the rescue.
Graduate programs currently receive students' comprehensive five-year histories of GRE scores but with ScoreSelect, a student will be able to choose to send all scores or just the ones achieved during his or her most recent exam. ScoreSelect also lets students customize their score reports by school: Test takers may send their most recent scores to one batch of schools on test day free of charge and then forward a different set of schools either all of their scores or a specific score from the last five years after the exam for a fee. Why the change, especially so soon after last year's format overhaul? "What we believe will happen is that students will have more confidence on test day," said Christine Betaneli, a spokeswoman for GRE administrator Educational Testing Service (ETS).
There are additional details about ScoreSelect on ETS' website. After getting all the facts, what do you think of ScoreSelect? Is it an option you'll take advantage of when you take the GRE?

As college students, we make tons of important decisions every day. Our futures are constantly at the forefront of our minds and for some students, continuing their schooling after completing their undergraduate degree is a very serious option. Luckily, many schools recognize this and offer five-year programs that allow students to begin graduate work as an undergrad and have their credits apply to both degrees. So how can you tell if such a program is right for a student like you? Here are some things to consider:
I hope these tips help you out but the truth is no one can decide for you whether or not a five-year combined undergrad and grad program is the right fit – it takes your willingness to research, consult with people in the right departments and get all the facts straight before making your final decision.
Angela Andaloro is a junior at Pace University's New York City campus, where she is double majoring in communication studies and English. Like most things in New York City, her life and college experience is far from typical – she commutes to school from her home in Flushing and took nearly a semester's worth of classes online – but she still likes to hang out with friends, go to parties and feed her social networking addiction like your "average" college student.

After my high school graduation, I could not wait to start attending college and gain more life experience by being out on my own. Before I graduated from college, however, I heavily anticipated the break that I would be taking before I began law school. I dreamed about all of the extra rest that I would be getting and became even more excited when I thought about all of the extra energy that I'd have. Today, I find myself missing college more and more each day...and I am only six months into my break!
When I first told people that I would be taking a break after I graduated, my decision was met with mixed feelings. Some people said that they were jealous of all of the free time that I would have and some stated that I would go crazy from having too much time to myself but I never would have guessed that the latter would be right! I began to miss school so much that I would dream about random classroom scenarios several times a week. It sounds crazy but I soon realized how much I loved learning new things and having my mind challenged on a daily basis.
Some students may need a long break in order to recover after undergrad but six months was more than enough time for me to realize that I am not one of those students! I have a full-time job but it does not even come close to comparing to what I experienced as an undergrad. I know that I am not ready to begin my journey in law school so I decided to pursue a master's degree to compensate for the chaotic state that my mind has been in since I took my last final exam. Wish me luck!

The notion that those who are well-educated are safeguarded from bleak employment rates doesn't seem to hold true anymore: According to the National Association for Law Placement, recent law graduates face employment rates that have fallen to the lowest level since 1994.
Only 85.6 percent of 2011 law school graduates (whose employment status was known) had jobs nine months after leaving school – two percentage points lower than the employment levels of the 2010 graduates. Now that may not be reason to sound the alarm, but only 65.4 percent of 2011 graduates had jobs that required passing the bar exam. Ding! Ding!
"For members of the Class of 2011, caught as they were in the worst of the recession...the entry-level job market can only be described as brutal," the association's executive director James G. Leipold said in a written statement. "When this class took their LSATs and applied for law school, there were no signs that the legal economic boom was showing any signs of slowing and yet by the time they graduated, they faced what was arguably the worst entry-level legal-employment market in more than 30 years."
Future law students in the audience, what do you think of the news? With a law degree no longer translating into instant financial security, are you reconsidering your educational path?

The Old School MMA Review is back, as we sit through UFC 9 and do our best to survive the abomination that is Dan Severn VS Ken Shamrock 2! Plus, Don Frye, Gary Goodridge, and a Steve Corino reference!
Five great historical atrocities. Four apologies. One debt to be paid.
A couple of days ago, I got to thinking about the Masked Rider. I got to thinking about how it is one of the best collegiate mascots that exists. And then, I got to thinking on the history of...
Today marks the two-year anniversary of "Macho Man" Randy Savage's tragic death. Here's a look back at his legendary career in pro wrestling.
On this date in WWE history (May 19), Hulk Hogan and Undertaker had one of the worst main event matches of all time at Judgement Day 2002.
On this date in 2003, at Judgment Day, a battle royal was held to crown a new champion and in the nine years since, it's slowly regained the prominence it held during its heyday of Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect, Ultimate Warrior and Shawn Michaels.
The Hardcore Championship was defended 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As a result, a very unlikely person became champion at one point. In addition to that, this date in history was FULL of interesting things occurring, come see what else went down!
Ten noteworthy wrestling events occurred on this date over the past 44 years, and ten memorable wrestlers were born over the past 94 years on this date as well.
After a five-year arrangement, the National Wrestling Alliance pulled their belts from TNA. So what did the company do? Create their own title, of course.
After five years, Ring of Honor made the jump to pay-per-view. The result was Respect Is Earned, -- which was filmed on this date six years ago.

Anaheim >Restaurants > Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill

Very Good – Wood Ranch is actually reallly good. I know a couple people who had their weddings catered by them. It is a little nicer than a casual restaurant.
A nice place. But, over-priced. – My wife and I had lunch here with 6 other family members. Our waitress was very nice and she did her job very well. I almost felt sorry for her because she was handling my party of eight, plus a few other tables by herself. Everyone was given bread (dinner rolls) which were pretty good. I ordered the WR tri tip meal with a side of baked beans (the side came with the meal). The meals were served on very large plates. My plate contained a chunk of tri-tip and a rather small cup of baked beans. Nothing else was on the plates, not even a some garnish to make it look a little nicer. It was amusing to see this huge plate with a chunk of meat and a bowl of beans on it. Something was missing. What I'm trying to say is that I paid $23.00 for what amounted to a couple of dinner rolls, a cup of baked beans, and a pretty good-sized piece of tri-tip. My wife ordered salmon with a side of mashed sweet potatoes. Her piece of salmon was fairly large, and she liked the potatoes. But again, it just didn't seem to warrant the price. If you like BBQ, you may like the place. But, compared to other restaurants that have the same theme, Wood Ranch just doesn't do it for me.
Eat more fish. Love the tri tip. – BBQ is a personal thing and the tri tip here is the best I've ever had. The thing is, this place makes the best fish I've had in a long time. Grilled over white oak -- they showed me the separate grill they use. Very smart. I loved the baked potato and the asparagus. Eat well, my friends.
Not too good – We ate at Woodranch this past weekend for lunch. It was not all that impressive. But I am from the south where BBQ is life. They drench it in this mesquite BBQ sauce that is not too good. The ribs would be much better without all the sauce. The gaucamole was EXCELLENT! The smashed sweet potatoes YUCK! The mac and cheese was BLAH. Overall it was not worth $60 for lunch portion with two kids also eating.
Way above average. Best steak value in So Cal. – I couldn't believe we were actuallly going to wait 45 minutes to eat here, but it was worth it. I rarely eat steak outside of the big steak restaurants, but Wood Ranch has one of the best ribeyes I've ever had. I'm not going to pay $40 anymore for a piece of meat on a plate. Here, I got the steak -- more than I could finish -- a salad and a side dish of sweet potatoes that was outrageously good. I don't like waiting, but I can figure that part out. This is one great restaurant.
AVERAGE RESTAURANT WITH LONG LINES – The tri tip salad is great along with the rolls, but everything else is just average. The ambience is cool for a family but the wait is too long
Gracious service and family atmosphere are the main draws at this local barbecue chain. – In Short
This isn't a typical barbecue joint, and the vibe and food are anything but rustic. Inside, families and couples at large booths and tables feast on mesquite-grilled BBQ in a modern, earth-toned setting. Slow-roasted meats, such as baby-back ribs and chicken, dominate the moderately-priced menu, but crowd-pleasers also include the 15-ounce Kansas City Strip, freshwater Idaho trout and balsamic shrimp. If that doesn't trip the trigger, Certified Angus Beef burgers and mile-high salads are other options.
great food and reasonable prices – got an order of bbq chicken, ribs, beans, and coleslaw (with garlic roll) to go - great food and can't wait to go back to dine-in.
Bring your appetite! – Marvelous BBQ (chicken/pork/beef), generous portions, interesting side dishes (especially the peanut coleslaw!) and attentive, unobtrusive service. One of my hometown faves.
