doing good

Imagine a world with enough food for everyone on the plant. Oxfam, the UK-headquartered NGO that fights global poverty, is doing just that with its new global campaign, "Grow," which focuses on one element of the poverty cycle: food injustice.
The goal: "to build a better food system, one that produces enough for a growing population and empowers poor people to earn a living, feed their families, and thrive."Continue reading...

While I watched a group of 2-year-olds in an art class, it was striking to see how engrossed they were in their work. The teacher squeezed globs of different color paints on the children�s papers and asked each child where he or she wanted the new color. The children were using rollers instead of brushes, creating the most amazing effects as the colors mixed and the roller changed direction.

'Unleashed' thoroughly chronicles history of Hampton High football
Those of us who have followed or covered Carter County sports over the years can match faces, coaches and players to local schools.
There's Bayless at Happy Valley, Rider at Elizabethton, Orr at Cloudland, Ensor at Unaka and Campbell at Hampton.
However, in my 28 years growing up as an avid reader and eventual writer of the Elizabethton Star, when I think about Hampton football I also think about the guy on the sidelines in the St. Louis R a m s j a c k e t putting the prep careers of the Taylor's and Townsend's to print.

Tom Ford Sunglasses
The Brand
The fashion designer/film maker/beauty mogul is always extremely confident and well dressed. Ford first started off his fashion career working with Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent. He delivered super sexy, almost-explicit campaigns that both shocked and thrilled the public.
Later, he and a colleague left Gucci to start up his own self-titled brand. Ford slightly toned down the sexuality in his first collection campaigns, but it was still enough to get us a bit hot under the collar. When he designed his second collection; the campaign adverts were more toned down and focused on sensuality instead of sexuality.
The Eyewear
Tom Ford sunglasses are modern and super stylish; perfect for the modern men and women of the world. Appealing to an international market, the brand doesn't limit its designs to specific consumers. All of the Tom Ford sunglasses have been designed to complement the wearer and their personality. He even gave his sunglasses special names so people can relate to the eyewear.
Ford designs his sunglasses to fit his consumers; planning and taking into account about every aspect of the eyewear from materials, to colours, to frame shape. Brown, gold, caramel and bronze are colours that rule the sunglasses collection. Ford wanted to create sunglasses that look great in the sunlight and also complemented a range of skin tones. Other colours such as black, silver and grey are also popular in the collection.
You will also find a great range of frame shapes from vintage cat-eye and aviators to oversized round frames. Most of the frames in the collection are plastic but there's also a good amount of metal frames to choose from.
Please Note:
Tom Ford eyewear was always intended to be an exclusive luxury product. This means that you will not be able to order any Tom Ford eyewear using our online system. Please contact us via email or telephone to place your order.

Seems like each week gets more and more exciting!
I'm happy that I was able to stand on the sideline last week and witness history, as the Bulldogs won their first division title in 28 years and first in Division 1-4A. This team has come a long way from when I started at the Gazette in 2008, and I believe it's because the right men are in charge of this program.
Ron Price and his staff have done a tremendous job over the last two seasons in building this program into a respectable one, and they are doing it the right way, instilling values and teaching lessons that will benefit the kids both on and off the field.
There's no team more deserving of the recognition and attention, and I'm proud to have the opportunity to cover them every week.
But let's be honest, any time a team is winning, it makes my job that much easier.
I thought back earlier in the week about each school and how I've had the chance to cover championship teams throughout my almost two and a half years in Union County.
Every school has won at least one championship since 2008, and that's an astounding statistic considering the number of schools here and the level of talent they compete against. It should also be noted that these kids are not only achieving athletically, but academically as well, which is pretty awesome and rare to see a good combination of both.
Now, I'm not trying to jump the gun and crown this team a champion just yet, but they are in good shape to make a legitimate run in the playoffs. I, like so many, have Nov. 19 circled, hoping that, if all turns out well, New Albany will face off against Lafayette in the third round.
But that's three weeks away, and that's three opponents the Bulldogs would have to face before that can happen, starting with Tishomingo County on Friday.
Twenty-one football seniors, along with others from cheerleading and band, will be honored before the game, and this is a special night for the community. Not only will the 'Dawgs try to end the regular season at 11-0, but everyone will have the opportunity to celebrate the careers of the kids being honored.
It's sure to be an exciting night at Kitchens' Field and I'm willing to bet it will be another great crowd in attendance to watch the Bulldogs achieve yet another one of their goals for the season.
The coaches have said to take it one game at a time and with that mentality, maybe we'll find ourselves in Jackson in another month, cheering on a champion.
Honoring seniors and champs
Seems like each week gets more and more exciting!

11014 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL | Directions 3361828.050132 -82.504939
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
A+ Agency & Staff – Much thanks to Jeff Ralph's Agency, I now understand insurance and know what I need coverage for. Everyone in his office is very well educated and has such a caring personality. I feel that they truly care about my family & our future. When I first came to this Agency, the premium's were a little bit higher than other Insurance Companies.. but I decided that I would rather pay a little bit more & know that I am getting correct information and the coverage's that I need. I would reccommend Jeff's Agency to any family member or friend that is looking for a great insurance agency!
Great Office and Staff!!! – I have had my insurance with this agent for the past six years. Their prices are competitive and their service is unbeatable. They are always so friendly and helpful and are true professionals. I have referred several of my friends and family to their office and they have been just as happy as I have been.
Jeff Ralph State Farm-saving me money, time and stress!! – I have had insurance with Jeff Ralph at State Farm i Tampa for the past 20 years. I am so happy with my insurance, and never stress about going in to Jeff Ralph's office. I am so happy with my auto, life and home insurance and very happy with their competitive rates. I feel like the staff in this office treat me like I am a part of their family. Not only have they saved me money over the years, they have also made sure I have a great insurance plan. My auto, life and home insurance will be staying with Jeff Ralph at State Farm in Tampa for many years to come!
They put the ?service? back in customer service! – I have been a Client of State Farm for over five years. I have multiple policies with them. I will be the first to tell you that I have never been a big fan of insurance. I felt like they were there to collect your premium and nickel and dime you on every claim. This does not stand true here. My agent, Jeannine Cherry, has spoiled me. Anytime I ever call with a question or problem, she makes it a priority to get me an answer or resolution. I have always been made to feel that I am their number one Customer. She has even gone as far as to go into her office on a Holiday to take care of things for me. Bravo!! This Agency should be the model that all others follow.
True customer satisfaction – They are always very friendly and helpful with any questions. Always see a happy face wheb walking in the door.. I would recommend them to anyone who likes to be treated professionally . They go out of there even if it not with statefarm insurance related.. I give there entire staff a high five for outstanding service.
Awesome Insurance Agent & Staff (State Farm) Jeff Ralph – Erin Guilbeault is our Marketing/Sales Specialist at Jeff Ralph (State Farm) and she has been so extremely helpful and everyone in the office always meets you with a smile and kind word.
I would recommend trying them out for your insurance needs they are wonderful.
Shannon Lynn
Awesome!!!!! – The Jeff Ralph Office exceeds my expectations every time. I firmly believe they are committed to saving me time and money on a day-to-day basis. My representative, Erin, proactively reviews my current policies to ensure that I'm adequately covered as well as keeping my policies competitively priced. I've been a client of this office since I moved to the area over 10 years ago. Even though I have moved more than twenty miles from this office, Jeff Ralph has continued to make it very convenient for me to continue to use their office through great follow up and individual attention. I definitely recommend this office to everyone!!!!
Best experience with an insurance company by far!! – A smaller, more customer driven office. Filled with employees and management that actually DO care for their clients. I'm tired of hearing about "customer service is number 1 with us!" and then that company not following through. The Jeff Ralph office is surely an exception. They go that extra mile that keeps me happy. With 3 autos, house, and life insurance with them..I don't take lightly too mediocre attitudes which is something not experienced with this office. I?ve been a customer for well over 8 years and plan on staying with them for a while to come. Thanks guys!!
Chris S... Valrico.

Home on the Range
February 17, 2013
Morocco dropped by. I wasn't expecting a North African kingdom, but company is always welcome. Especially such charming company — those cinnamon-warm spices, those lush stews and that habit of pressing savory against sweet. Intoxicating.
And no longer rare. I keep running into Morocco. The cook shop is stocked with couscoussiers and saffron threads. The chic home poses in Berber rugs, Moorish floor tile and low-slung couches.
Out to dinner recently I met bastilla (also known as pastilla, bisteeya or b'stilla), a sweet and savory pie stuffed with chicken and egg and wrapped up in sugar-dusted pastry. It's a delicious mouthful of contrasts charged with opening many a celebration in Morocco.
At home I folded an unorthodox version, using roast chicken, fresh ginger, cilantro and phyllo. It's more of a riff than a re-creation, tangy and tasty.
I keep meaning to crisp a platter and serve them to friends, but everyone's so busy fluffing couscous and polishing their tagines. Which I get. It's a delicious world to explore.
Chicken-and-egg pies
Prep: 1 hour
Bake: 25 minutes
Makes: 40 little pies
5 eggs
1/2 cup green onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup each, finely chopped: parsley, cilantro
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon each, ground: cinnamon, cumin
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken*
1/2 stick unsalted butter, cubed
2 1/2 cups sliced almonds
2 cups ground almonds
1/4 cup sugar
20 sheets (about 1 pound) phyllo dough, defrosted
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted
Crack eggs into a large mixing bowl. Whisk briefly. Stir in green onions, parsley, cilantro, ginger, cinnamon, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and both kinds of pepper. Add chicken. Mix gently with a fork.
Melt cubed butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add sliced almonds and toast, shaking now and then, until golden, about 7 minutes.
Stir together ground almonds, sugar and 2 teaspoons salt.
Slice phyllo dough in half the short way, making 40 sheets, each about 9 by 13 inches. Cover with a damp kitchen towel. Set one sheet on a work surface. Paint with melted butter. Scatter on 1 tablespoon ground almonds. Fold dough in half the long way, forming a strip 4½ by 13 inches. Paint again; scatter on 1 tablespoon sliced almonds.
Scoop 1 tablespoon chicken into one corner. Fold up, flag-style, into a triangular packet. Brush with butter. Sprinkle with a little salt. Set on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Chill. Fold remaining pies.
Slide into a 375-degree oven and bake until hot inside and golden outside, about 20-25 minutes. Enjoy.
Inspired by Moroccan bisteeya, a sweet and savory chicken pie.
*Make your life easy: Buy a rotisserie chicken, shred meat, discard skin and bones. One 3-pound chicken yields about 4 cups shredded meat.

Perceptions of the South Korean foreign policy towards Argentina, Brazil and Chile
Alejandra Chacon, University of Chile, International Studies Institute, Asia Pacific Center, Korean Studies Program
Published: Monday, October 20, 2008
In the framework of the foreign policies of South Korea, arose the question of analyzing the situation and the importance of this country towards some countries of Latin America.
The administration of president Roh Moo-hyun obtained an historical achievement signing the Free Trade Agreement with Chile with results, in general positives according to both foreign ministries, because of the increment in the bilateral commerce at the first trimester of 2008, which got up to USD 1.969 millions with an increase of 32.1%, being the highest among the principal commercial partners of Chile. Also Korea maintain the fifth position as a commercial partner with Chile, after the US, China, Japan and Brazil.1
Bilateral relations with Argentina and Brazil, despite of non existing FTAs among these countries nowadays, it's marked by a broad relation, that can be traced to the sixties and seventies when a massive Korean immigration was initiated, being approximately 105.000 those who arrived to all of Latin America, half of them in Brazil, country that now has 50.000 Koreans.2. In the case of Argentina, the first immigration wave arrived in 1965, and then in regular patterns between 1970 and 1978 and during the eighties, when the procedures for Korean immigrants in Argentina Act was signed in 1985.3 This and other common issues make as study and are a source of information on the Korean foreign policy. The main objective of this research is to determine and understand, from the point of view of Latin American scholars of Korea, their own thoughts about foreign policy (in politics, economy and cultural issues) towards Argentina, Brazil and Chile (ABC). The selected time frame was between 2003 and this year, because of the little time available to do the research and in order to have a state of the art map of the developing of this relations as well as the necessity of continuity of this politics, at the eve of a new administration in South Korea. Research was made thanks to a wide bibliographical review and the formulation of enquiries to South Korean scholars' experts in Latin America, which gently answered the questions in terms of confidentiality and anonymity. The idea that scholars and not official functionaries would answer the questions arose out of the necessity of having a more objective or at least critical position of the official figures and, at the same time, to be open and understand the scholastic view of the professors on their own foreign policy.
This research was financed by the 2008 Small Research Grants Program in Korean Studies granted by the Center of Korean Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), with the sponsorship of the Korean Academy of Korean Studies. It received the collaboration of the research assistant Gonzalo Muñoz Bravo in different aspects of the research and from Gonzalo Guaiquil as a translator of this paper. Both of them are students and members of the Korean studies program of the Asia Pacific Center of International Studies Institute at the University of Chile. It also received the assistance of the Director of the Center, Prof. Martín Pérez Le-Fort in the data processing from the questionnaires.

Meeting Korn & your experiance~
I won tickets for a meet & greet by a contest from the 97.1 The Eagle "Questions for Korn" I was one of the lucky winners, Munk Kimberly NORTON instead of NORMAN, but that's not that bad.. you can see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyK0L35RonE
I won 2 tickets, so I had to find a guest. My boyfriend, lamely said he had to work, so the only person who had the time to come was an old friend from high school. She liked Korn back in the day, but I wanted someone to experience meeting my favorite band with me (I should of just found someone waiting in l of the show, someone who would appretiate it:/ )
Anyway, when it was time, all the people who bought the passes online for the meet & greet and us Eagal winners were lined up as the band made their waygn our posters. *The bouncers said NO pics, a sucked*
JD was the first to make his round. My chick friend was first, she's a hottie & dressed as so, "Hi!" she said, Jonathan was really sweer & even padded her on the sholder. I was next, wearing my Untouchables hoodie and all. I was so "starstruck" my favorite singer, I said nothing... therefore- I guess- Jonathan said nothing back... He just signed my poster & went to the next guy, who him up... I was kinda disappointed and heartbroke.
Munkey was next & was the coolest one to meet next to Ray. He signed my Ibanez poster. "I hope the bouncer doesnt see I sneaked this in for you to sign.. they said they would kick anyone out who did or takes pics" Munk repiled, " I won't let them kick you out." That made my night :) Fieldy, who did't really seem to wanna be there, he was silent. Last, but not least was Ray, "You from Dallas?...I love this city" He was really cool & nice.
All in all, with my experience, if you meet your favorite band/actor/idol- say something, anything. Because if you don't, like me, you will always regret your silence & wonder what they would of said. This was probably the only time I will meet my favorite band.
Anyone have any stories to share?

Re: Meeting Korn & your experiance~
Thanks! Some really crazy shows too. Lots of injuries, but I wouldn't trade the memories for anything!
Re: Meeting Korn & your experiance~
I met Head at one of his book signings when he first left the band. I felt like I was meeting God. lol. I went up and talked to him and was shaking I was so nervous. He was really cool. I stayed and waited for everyone to leave so I could talk to him again. He probably thought I was a weirdo but he was really cool. Definitely a highlight for me. I hope I get a chance to meet all of them one day. Funny thing is, I bought a book for my sister and had him sign it with "To Angie: Your butt stinks." We still have the book and I still tease her about it.
Re: Meeting Korn & your experiance~
Awesome. Congrats for getting VIP , Chris. Good luck :0
I've met David, Fieldy, Munky, Head in the past way back when. The I met Ray a few years ago when he became part of Korn. JD has always alluded me. One time he left a signing early, other times security wouldnt let us near the bus, all diff reasons. I've seen Korn 47 times, would have thought id have met him by now, but its never come to pass. Thats why I'm totally beyond excited to have the VIP for NYC coming up. Finally my chance to meet all the guys again and JD finally. A true bucketlist moment for me.
Does it make me bad??
Re: Meeting Korn & your experiance~
I've never actually met them, but I have seen them live once.
I will never run away...
Re: Meeting Korn & your experiance~
I'm saving up money right now to go to the concert in Philly and get VIP and I really hope I don't freeze up when I meet them, especially JD. If I said something that made him smile or something or he hugged me I think I would die lol.

JaxMe supports namespaces, relational databases, and Tamino. JaxMe comes with an integrated application framework and a generator for EJB entity beans with BMP (bean managed persistence).
NekoHTML is a simple HTML scanner and tag balancer that enables Java application programmers to parse HTML documents and access the information using standard XML interfaces. The parser can scan HTML files and "fix up" many common mistakes that human (and computer) authors make in writing HTML documents. NekoHTML is written using the Xerces Native Interface (XNI) that is the foundation of the Xerces2 implementation. This enables application programmers to use the NekoHTML parser with existing XNI tools without modification or rewriting code.

EnergyNow! Announces Grants to Combat Childhood Overweight
October 18, 2007 -- EnergyNow!, an alliance comprised of leading authorities in the physical education, nutrition and fitness technology fields, today announced the availability of physical education grants to help schools in the tri-state New York area combat childhood obesity through a results-based program.
In an effort to energize and motivate children to participate in regular physical activity and healthy eating habits, EnergyNow! will build physical education and nutrition education programs that are doable, sustainable and effective. This results-based program will allow physical educators to collect valid and reliable data to monitor student progress and their program''s effectiveness throughout the year. The program''s resources will also serve as the foundation for students to lead active and healthier lifestyles by providing physical activity and nutrition education lessons that can be applied to their everyday lives.
"The EnergyNow! alliance recognizes that increasing students'' physical activity level is critical to effectively address childhood obesity," said Charlene Burgeson, alliance chair, EnergyNow!. "The grants will provide physical education teachers with training along with the needed resources to monitor student progress and track results throughout the year."
The grants will provide critical funding for schools to purchase physical education equipment based on their specific needs and schools will receive heart rate monitors, assessment technology and training provided by Polar, a manufacturer of fitness products. Additionally, the School Nutrition Foundation will provide a set of nutrition education lessons that include a lifestyle approach to eating habits based on actual cafeteria choices and the National Association for Sport and Physical Education will give training on the National Standards for Physical Education. Information packets will also be distributed to grant recipients that include additional resources and details about various activities, contests and promotions available through EnergyNow!.
An estimated 17 percent of children and adolescents from ages 2-19 years are overweight according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which has declared childhood obesity a national epidemic. The National Center for Health Statistics reports that almost one in four children do not participate in any free-time physical activity.
"We know that when students are personally engaged, positive change can take place," said Burgeson. "This program focuses on results and aims to engage students by energizing and motivating them to get physically active and eat healthy."
In the first year, public middle schools in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut will be eligible to apply for the grants which are valued at more than $12,000 each. The pilot program will award 10 grants. Eligibility requirements include state certification requirements for physical education teachers, a standards-based curriculum in place and an agreement to participate in various grant activities and professional development trainings throughout the grant period, among others.
The program's evaluation committee will review and score each grant submission and the winning schools will be announced in December 2007. The deadline to apply for the grant is November 12, 2007.

Despite Funding Challenges, School Programs Increase Nutritious Options
School Nutrition Association 2007 Trends Report finds districts offering more whole grains, healthier beverages and more fresh fruits and vegetables
ALEXANDRIA Va. (October 16, 2007) Parents visiting their child's school cafeteria during National School Lunch Week are seeing more whole grains, a greater amount of fresh fruits and vegetables and a wider selection of healthful beverages. The School Nutrition Association's (SNA) 2007 Trends Report, released today, found that increased availability of whole grain products is the most commonly reported policy/effort in place and that more school districts are implementing food and nutrition policies, even as the costs to do so increase -- 85% of respondents report experiencing increased food, labor, gas and transportation costs.
Released annually, the Trends Report is based on a survey of 200 school districts nationwide conducted in July 2007. The Report provides evidence of the continuing efforts underway in America's schools to promote healthy eating habits among children. Other policies in place among a majority of districts include increasing the availability of healthier beverages in vending machines (81%), reducing/limiting trans fat content (74%), limiting fat content of a la carte/vending items (73%) and increasing the availability of fresh fruits/vegetables on a la carte lines and/or vending machines (69%). Policy deployment is increased for nearly every area from past years, including the percentage of districts with a policy that limits the fat content of a la carte and/or vending items rising to 73% from 38% in 2004.
The Report also describes new efforts taken by school nutrition programs for the current school year, including increased offerings (and a greater variety) of fruits, vegetables, whole grain products; a consistent and continual emphasis on wellness as schools move forward with the implementation of their wellness policies; limiting portion/serving sizes; developing and implementing nutrition education programs for students, teachers and staff; and using alternative preparation techniques, such as elimination of deep-frying.
While the record of school nutrition professionals demonstrates significant progress toward promoting a healthy childhood weight, the financial implications for self-sustaining school nutrition programs remains a concern. The Report found costs for food, labor and gas/transportation are clearly affecting school foodservice operations — about 85% of the respondents report that their program experienced increases in these costs last school year. Most districts (63.5%) state that the National School Lunch Program reimbursement was not sufficient for their district to cover the costs of producing a meal. The Report makes clear that additional funding is needed from the local, state or federal level for school nutrition programs to offer more nutrient-dense meals.
The Trends Report release comes during National School Lunch Week, which was established in 1963 by a proclamation by President John F. Kennedy. It is designed to help raise awareness of and garner support for the role that school foodservice and nutrition programs play in the lives of America's children.
SNA, the School Nutrition Association, is a national, non-profit professional organization representing more than 55,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. The Association and its members are dedicated to feeding children safe and nutritious meals. Founded in 1946, SNA is the only association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's health and well being through school meals and sound nutrition education.

Biff Burger, Jesse Wrap are Front-runners in School Lunch Vote
Students vote for their favorite healthy school lunch during National School Lunch Week, October 15 - 19, 2007
ALEXANDRIA Va. (October 11, 2007) At town hall meetings, in school cafeterias and on the blogs, the talk is of flavor and favorites. In a tightly contested race, the polls put Biff Burger and Jesse Wrap ahead of a pack of school lunch contenders including Pippa Potato, Patty Mac n' Cheese and Yumi Rice Bowl in the 2007 Vote for School Lunch Campaign. Since July, the five candidates have been wooing students from Iowa to Florida with whole grain goodness and low-fat cheesiness all in anticipation of the election, held October 15 – 19, 2007 during National School Lunch Week. The second annual Vote for School Lunch campaign concludes October 22, 2007, when the School Nutrition Association will announce the wining 'candidate.'
Students nationwide are invited to cast their ballots online at www.VoteForSchoolLunch.org and in school cafeterias up until Friday, October 19, 2007. Those who 'Vote for School Lunch' will also learn more about healthy meal choices at school. This year's candidates include Jesse Wrap with lean turkey and a whole-grain tortilla; Pippa Potato baked and served with veggies; Patty Mac 'n' Cheese with whole-grain noodles, low-fat cheese and broccoli; Biff Burger with a lean patty and a whole-wheat bun; and Yumi Rice Bowl with brown rice and vegetables.
The candidates are campaigning on their platform of sound dietary values, great taste and lunchroom versatility and the 2007 winner will go on to compete in the 2008 Presidential election against Pete Pizza – the 2006 and first-ever 'Vote For School Lunch' campaign winner – as well as three student-designed 'Design a Candidate' contest winners.
In addition to the national vote, the campaign includes
SNA's nationwide membership of 53,000+ school nutrition professionals work in schools and in communities to provide balanced, nutritious school meals and information on proper portion sizes and nutrition education for children.

Land O' Lakes School Foodservice, the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA) and the Cartoon Network's Get Animated campaign provided support for this year's campaign.
Signed into law by President Harry Truman, the National School Lunch Program provides nutritionally balanced low-cost and free meals to students. Today, healthful options are available in schools nationwide. According to SNA's The State of School Nutrition 2007 Report, out of 1,200 school districts surveyed a majority of schools offer fat-free or low-fat milk (97%), fresh fruits and vegetables (96%), salad bars or pre-packaged salads (88%), yogurt and yogurt drinks (81%), from-scratch baked items (63%) and vegetarian meals (52%).

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are saying a popular dietary supplement has been proven to reduce the amount of fat many dieters regain after losing weight.
Forcing Fat Cells to Stay Small
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), according to the Wisconsin researchers, promotes muscle gain over fat. It does this by blocking fat cells that want to get big.
Michael Pariza, of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Reuters Heath that CLA forces fat cells to stay small, perhaps by inhibiting the key enzymes that cause fat cells to grow. Pariza presented the results of his research at an August meeting of the American Chemical Society meeting in Washington, D.C.
Pariza and a team of researchers put 71 obese individuals on a reduced-calorie diet and a moderate exercise program. One group of 35 people took about three grams of CLA daily—one gram at each meal—while the other group took a sunflower oil placebo. After six months, both the CLA and placebo groups lost about five pounds. Pariza claims, however, that CLA did not contribute to the weight loss. Instead, after the dieters stopped dieting, those taking CLA were more likely to gain muscle and not fat.
No Adverse Side Effects
No adverse side effects were observed in those taking CLA. The researchers note that those taking CLA experienced less depression and upset stomachs.
CLA occurs naturally in dairy products and meat, but not in the amounts the researchers used for their study.
Other Research Using CLA
Reuters reports that another CLA study, conducted at Purdue University in Indiana, demonstrated CLA's effectiveness in controlling type 2 diabetes. In the study, 64 percent of 22 patients with type 2 showed improvement in their insulin levels over an eight-week test.
According to lead researcher Martha Belury of Northwest Hospital in Seattle, patients also showed a decrease in triglyceride levels.
CLA is not a FDA-approved dietary supplement.

1964 UCLA Bruins crowned college hoops' most influential team
Story Highlights
John Wooden's 1964 UCLA Bruins is college basketball's most influential squad
In addition to changing the game, the '64 Bruins touched off a historic legacy
1966 Texas Western, 1993 Michigan among other teams that changed hoops
It's an old and much-renewed debate when college hoops fans gather: Which team was best, greatest, or most dominant?
We decided to put a finer point on that argument and ask a slightly different question. Which teams have had the most far-reaching and long-lasting influence on college basketball? To which can we trace some essential characteristic of the game today? Which teams both reached up to shape the pros, and down to touch the playgrounds?
We sifted through college basketball's past to separate teams that were truly influential from those that were merely dominant or entertaining. And the result included some omissions that might surprise you.
Take, for instance, the UCLA teams of 1967 through '69, which featured Lew Alcindor anchoring the middle. The Alcindor Bruins of John Wooden collected 88 victories in 90 games, as well as NCAA titles at the end of each season. But those UCLA teams were sui generis. They rode their precocious center's dominance and didn't have much ripple effect beyond striking awe in those who watched them. Few other coaches could realistically hope to emulate what Wooden did in Westwood over those seasons -- building a team around a 7-foot prodigy.
Or consider Loyola Marymount and its revved-up attack during the late 1980s. Paul Westhead's Lions entertained us, surprised us and, after the sudden death of forward Hank Gathers, engaged us emotionally. But LMU was a comet across the college hoops sky. The Westhead system was too quirky to inspire disciples who could take it and, Appleseed-like, plant it elsewhere.
Conversely, you will find on our list a number of teams -- from Michigan's Fab Five of 1993 to Memphis' near-champs of 2008 -- that failed to win titles. They're cited for their role in popularizing or paving the way for a lasting trend, or impacting basketball culture, or clarifying some deep hoop truth, or otherwise firing the pebblegrain imagination.
To get a better sense of our criteria, it's worth taking a close look at our choice as the Most Influential Team of All-Time: The 1964 UCLA Bruins.
How did Wooden's first NCAA title team leave a legacy? Let us count the ways:
With pressure defense. The '64 Bruins proved not only that you could win with pressure, but also dominate with it. A 2-2-1 zone trap helped UCLA go 30-0 despite starting no one over 6-5. The defense soon developed a mystique all its own, with wags calling it everything from "The Glue Factory" to "Arranged Chaos." Asked what it was like to play against, USC coach Forrest Twogood posed a question right back: "Have you ever been locked up in a casket for six days? That's how it feels."
With athleticism. That small lineup helped enshrine speed and range -- not crude pituitary-ism -- as one of college basketball's cardinal virtues. Two starters, Keith Erickson and Fred Slaughter, attended UCLA on split scholarships: Erickson with baseball and Slaughter with track. (Slaughter had been a 9.9 sprinter in high school; in addition to baseball, Erickson played volleyball growing up near the beach in El Segundo, Calif., and would make the U.S. team in that sport for the Tokyo Olympics.)

Even without the three-point shot, Wooden's first title team demonstrated the withering power of unanswered points -- the feature of today's game that keeps hope alive even for teams trailing by double digits with a few minutes to play. In each of UCLA's 30 games that season, the press delivered at least one decisive "Bruin Blitz," as they came to be known. The 16-0 run that did in Duke in the NCAA title game stands as a stirring valedictory.
With tempo. The '64 Bruins proved that you could actually control tempo, and thereby prefigured much of the thinking of coaches today. The genius of the zone press, UCLA showed, was how it sped up the game. Against a man-to-man press an opponent dribbles the ball upcourt, but dribbling chews up time and thus slows the pace. A zone press, by contrast, invites an offense to break it with passes, which accelerate tempo -- and thus the Bruins could take advantage of their overall team speed. A typical team is more likely to have speed than height, and that's why, after winning the title, Wooden fielded letters from some 700 coaches wanting to know how the press worked. (Wooden being Wooden, wrote every one back.)
By deploying role players. By assigning each player a primary task according to his strength, UCLA foreshadowed the increased specialization that would come to mark the college game. Jack Hirsch was a defender, Walt Hazzard a passer, Gail Goodrich a shooter. And Slaughter and Erickson performed highly specific roles in the press. Slaughter ran the baseline at the front of the 2-2-1, using both his 235 pounds to obscure the inbounder's view up the floor and his speed to sprint back into defensive position; Erickson, as the "safety" at the back, deployed the lateral quickness and leaping ability that led Cal coach Rene Herrerias to call him "a 6-5 Bill Russell."
By reconfiguring the map. The team pulled the game's balance of power westward, while at the same time establishing for UCLA a national recruiting presence. On both of those counts, the '64 Bruins helped break down the regional paradigm on which the sport had long been based. Erickson, Goodrich and Hirsch may have come from greater Los Angeles, but back-up center Doug McIntosh was a white guy from Lily, Ky. He roomed with Kenny Washington, a black guy from Beaufort, S.C. Hazzard grew up in the schoolyards of inner-city Philadelphia, and Slaughter came from Topeka, Kan. Together they began a trend that would accelerate over the next dozen years, as Southern California became a basketball pilgrim's Mecca.
By grooming lasting pros. In Erickson, Goodrich and Hazzard, the '64 Bruins produced three fine, enduring NBA players. Total pros produced isn't the most meaningful metric by which to judge a team's impact. (Indeed, Kentucky's 1996 NCAA champions would send three times as many players to the NBA.) But if all of the '64 Bruins had simply watched their careers peter out upon graduation, it would be harder to make the case for the team's lasting impact.
By surprising us. The team's perfect season demonstrated what would become one of the abiding charms of the college game: that anything can happen. A team unmentioned in SI's preseason Top 20 suddenly found itself atop the sport. Despite the Bruins' undefeated status going into the tournament, their run through the NCAAs continued to confound the pundits. Fans showed up at games sporting WE TRY HARDER buttons, lifted from the Avis Rent-a-Car ad campaign. Difficult as it would soon be to believe, UCLA made its first hoops impression as the plucky underdog -- the VCU or George Mason of its day. The '64 Bruins would have laid waste to many an office pool, had office pools existed back then.
By spotlighting the Wizard of Westwood. The Bruin Blitzers fully introduced to the world the man who would become the game's most accomplished coach. More, it put a new frame around him: Until 1964, "Johnny Wooden" had simply been another guy with a clipboard. His teams were solid, known mostly for their conditioning and ability to play the "racehorse style" associated with the Midwest, where he had grown up and played his own college ball. But over Wooden's 15 previous seasons in Westwood, UCLA had never won a title.
By launching a dynasty. With this team, UCLA touched off the most dominant stretch of any college program ever. Its first championship was no fluke; if it had been, the Bruins wouldn't have repeated in '65. And, after a brief pause for Texas Western's historic title the next season, UCLA ran off seven in a row, for a total of 10 in 12 years.
Here are the other 13 teams that made the biggest impact:
Yin and yang, city and country, Magic and Larry: The year that ESPN was born, and the Big East was launched, and CBS realized that it was worth opening the vault to win the rights to the NCAA tournament, these were the two perfect teams to meet in the title game. Neither the Spartans nor the Sycamores was a demonstrably great team in its own right. But the two individuals on the marquee led to the highest TV rating ever for an NCAA final. And when the game's stars moved to the pros, where they landed in the tradition-bound markets of L.A. and Boston, the NBA began its steady, astonishing journey from the ignominy of a tape-delayed Finals to the glory of must-see TV.
After the Miners' five black starters pulled off a title-game upset of Adolph Rupp and all-white Kentucky, no coach serious about his business could foreswear the African-American athlete. At the time, coach Don Haskins denied even being aware that his team had made racial history, but the Bear's insouciance only made it seem more of a no-brainer that a coach signed and played the best players possible. And there was a less-ballyhooed feature of that '66 final: Bobby Joe Hill's two first-half steals for layups, which confirmed the belief of coaches in the need for speed, if UCLA's titles the two previous years hadn't already done so. It remains a badge of Baby-Boomer belonging to be able to name both Smothers Brothers, all four Beatles, and the Miners' five starters: Hill; Willie Worsley; Willie Cager; Orsten Artis; and David (Big Daddy) Lattin.

On Thursday, in the first round of this year's Masters, one year after that proclamation, he took an early step closer to shaking both those demons.
The 33-year-old Spaniard shot a late-day 6-under-par 66 and grabbed a share of the opening-round lead at the 77th Masters with Marc Leishman, a 29-year-old Australian who now calls Virginia home.
"Every time I tee off in a tournament, my goal is to play the best I can and have a chance at winning, so it doesn't change this week," Garcia said. "Today was a nice day. It was one of those days that you really, really enjoy, and, hopefully, I'll have three more of those and we'll see what happens Sunday night."
Long-hitting Dustin Johnson is alone in third at 67, followed by a group of six at 68 that includes 2008 champion Trevor Immelman and popular 53-year-old Fred Couples, who has been in or near the lead in at least one round three of the last four years since turning 50.
On a day made for scoring, there were 33 rounds shot under par. One of those belonged to pre-tournament favorite Tiger Woods.
Woods shot 70, one of his second-best opening rounds here, with 30 putts and proclaimed himself "right there."
Woods opened with 70 in three of his four Masters wins.
Among the other noteables, Phil Mickelson shot 71 with a bogey at 18, Rory McIlroy shot an even-par 72 and defending champion Bubba Watson shot 75. Fourteen-year-old Tianlang Guan was low teen at 1-over 73 after chipping in for birdie on 18.
Garcia has never really had an affinity for Augusta National. He has won a Players Championship but never a major, and had only two top-10 finishes at the Masters in his career. He was third after a second-round 68 last year, but shot 75-71 on the weekend and finished tied for 12th.
After the 75, he concluded he wasn't "good enough to win a major" and proclaimed "I need to play for second or third place" in any of the majors, not just this one.
"Those were my words," he said. "But I think at the end of the day we go through tough and frustrating moments and I know it was one of them.
"Maybe I didn't say it the right way because it was one of those frustrating moments. What I felt is I definitely kind of shoot myself out of the tournament and that's what I did that Saturday … but like I said every time I tee off I try to play as well as I can. If my best that week is really, really good, I'll have a chance at winning. If my best is not that good, then I'll struggle a little bit."
He played "extremely well" through the first 10 holes Thursday. He went out in 32 and got it to 5 under heading into Amen Corner. He struggled with a couple of tee shots coming home, but managed to keep it in the road with two nice par saves.
"What I'm going to try to take into my pillow tonight is the first 10 holes," he said. "Without a doubt I feel like it's the best 10 holes I've played at the Masters.
"Scoring-wise maybe it wasn't, but the way I hit the ball and the amount of birdie chances I gave myself … it meant a lot."
Leishman, who has missed his last two cuts and four this season after a top-10 finish at Sony, stormed to the top of the leaderboard on the strength of a back-nine 31.
He bogeyed his first hole, which gave a lot of players trouble Thursday, but rallied to turn in 1-under. He birdied 10, and then zipped off four in a row (Nos. 13, 14, 15 and 16) to take a two-shot lead.
"I hit a lot of good iron shots on the back nine," he said. "It was awesome getting on those sort of runs … but I never really got ahead of myself because I know that this course can bite you pretty quickly."
Johnson, Kuchar and Couples all appeared in position to join the leaders before being derailed late in their rounds.
Johnson chipped in twice for birdie on the front and then took advantage of his prodigious length to eagle No. 13 and birdie 15 — both par-5s — to reach 6 under. But he hit a wayward drive on No. 17 and eventually made bogey to fall a shot back.
Couples, who led after Round 1 in 2010 and after Round 2 last year, got it to 5 under before bogeying No. 18. Kuchar also had it to 5 under through 15, but made bogey from the bunker on the par-3 16th.
"It was a good day," Couples said. "I maybe hit one poor shot and it was an iron on No. 6 where I missed it well right, but the rest of it was good.
"I'm going to come out tomorrow and do everything I can to keep this thing going because I know I can play this course," Couples said. "And if I hit it like that, I can play it every day."

You might be wondering why anyone in their right mind would use Flygon in a metagame where Garchomp, Latios, Latias, and Salamence roam freely. With the exact same typing as Garchomp, it would make even more sense that Flygon should never be used. However, being the only Dragon-type that resists common spread moves such as Earthquake, Rock Slide, Discharge, and Heat Wave gives it a niche among the other Dragon-types. Although Flygon is still somewhat doomed to inferiority, it is usable thanks to its decent base stats and unique moves.
This set is what gives Flygon a bit of originality. Dragon Claw and Earthquake as Flygon's two main STAB moves might leave much to be desired when Garchomp is an option in the tier with its much higher Attack, but Flygon can still make great use of them, hitting a wide range of threats pretty hard. However, Tailwind really gives Flygon an edge over Garchomp. With its base 100 Speed, Flygon is able to outspeed some of the most common threats and set up Tailwind to support its teammates. Unfortunately, its general frailty with base 80 HP and average defenses leaves Flygon easy to wear down. Protect is used to avoid damage for a turn, and can be used to scout for potentially dangerous moves.
Don't get your hopes up though; Flygon is, unfortunately, sorely outclassed in almost everything it does. There are various superior Dragon-type Pokemon in the tier: Salamence also has access to Tailwind, and has better offensive stats to compliment it. Garchomp hits harder and faster with the STAB moves it shares with Flygon, and is also much bulkier to tank more hits. If Garchomp and Salamence had a really unfortunate lovechild, it would be Flygon. With no new toys to play with this generation, Flygon really has gotten the short end of the stick when compared to other physical Dragon-types.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Flygon also has access to Feint, which can break through the opposing Pokemon's Protect and mess up your opponent's strategy. This requires some prediction and timing to pull off though, which can be risky, especially with Flygon. Outrage can be used instead of Dragon Claw, but because it hits a random opponent, it isn't always efficient. Flygon can be given a Choice Scarf and run a more offensive set, but it doesn't hit hard enough for this to be a great option either.
Checks and Counters
Almost any Ice-type can destroy Flygon decently. Weavile and Mamoswine both hit hard with their STAB Ice-type moves which are often boosted by Ice Gem, making them extremely dangerous, even when Flygon packs Yache Berry. Abomasnow also hits very hard with Blizzard and does not take much damage from any of Flygon's attacks. Flygon's frailty also makes it prone to being worn down by other attacks, including the common Surf, and even moves it resists.

Electric Vehicles—Frequently Asked Questions
PEV Home Charger Installation
Who do I contact to set up the charging station for my car?
Work with your electrical contractor to evaluate your home's wiring, electrical outlets and other hardware that can support the charging requirements of your new PEV.
Your dealer may offer a home assessment as part of the PEV purchase price. Some automakers offer a consultation with an electrical contractor as part of the electric vehicle purchase.
PG&E can only perform work outside the home at your meter/electrical panel location to enable the necessary utility service to the house.
What does it cost to get plug-in ready?
Total cost varies depending on current electrical design, local code requirements, the rate and charging options you choose among many other factors. Potential costs include:
- Charging equipment installation – This cost can be provided by your licensed electrical contractor.
- Second electrical meter installation – You'll need to budget for a second electrical meter if you decide to switch to our E-9B pricing plan. This allows your home's electric load to be measured on the existing meter while a second meter and dedicated breaker is used to measure your PEV's energy use. PG&E charges a one-time $250 fee to residential customers for any new meter installation. Refer to the Rate Options page for more information.
- Electrical panel upgrade – This applies to customers who choose the faster charging Level 2 option, which utilizes 208 to 240 volts. This adds significant load to you electrical panel, resulting in an electrical panel upgrade. The upgrade cost can be provided by your licensed electrical contractor.
- Utility service upgrade – Your home may require utility electrical system upgrades in order to charge the vehicle and/or accommodate a second meter. This cost can be determined by PG&E after an on-site assessment.
Who is responsible for the meter?
As a home owner, your responsibility typically begins at the meter and extends into your home. It includes all electrical wiring and circuits within your home.
PG&E is responsible for the utility side of your service, which is the electrical power supply that connects to your home, either from overhead or underground. The utility side is outside of your home and ends at the electric panel, where your meter is installed.
I have a SmartMeter™ and want the E-9B rate, do I still need a separate meter installed?
Yes. At this time, all customers interested in enrolling in the E-9B rate will need a second meter and electrical panel installed. The second SmartMeter™ will measure the electricity used to charge your vehicle.
To learn more about the E-9B rate, please visit our Rate Options page.
What do I need to do if my situation changes? (ex: move, purchase a second vehicle, sell my vehicle, or want to move off of the E-9 rate)
You should contact PG&E.
If you move to another residence you will need to contact PG&E and follow the process for getting your new home ready for your electric vehicle. You will also need to contact PG&E if you are considering purchasing a second vehicle so that PG&E can evaluate the utility side of your service to ensure you have adequate capacity to charge both vehicles. You may want to hire your own qualified electrical contractor to evaluate your load capacity, including accommodating your new Level I and Level II charging requirements.
If you sell your vehicle or no longer require the E-9 rate, you'll need to call PG&E to request that the electric vehicle service be turned off. There is no charge for disconnecting the E-9B meter panel or cancelling the rate.
I have a rooftop solar system. What are my rate options?
PG&E customers who have a solar generating system are eligible to enroll in the electric vehicle rates.
How will having solar panels impact the cost of charging an electric vehicle?
The electricity generated from a solar generating system could help offset the costs of electricity used to charge an electric vehicle. The net effect of the solar generating system will depend on the system's efficiency, the weather, the amount of energy used to charge the vehicle, and other factors.
Will charging an electric vehicle affect my solar power agreement?
Charging an electric vehicle will not impact your solar power agreement as long as there are no changes to your solar generating system. If you are planning to make any changes to your current system, please call us at 1-877-PGE-SRVC (1-877-743-7782) Monday - Friday from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m.
If I add solar panels to my existing solar generating system to compensate for charging an electric vehicle, are those new panels eligible for a rebate?
If you already have installed a solar generating system and have received a rebate for the system, you are eligible to receive a new rebate for any additional solar panels that are added to the system. The rebate will be directly proportional to the size of the new installation.
Please note: PG&E will not energize the new service until the completed work passes inspection and the utility has been notified of such by the city or county.
Rates and Costs
If I try the E-9A rate and do not like it, can I change to another rate?
Yes, the E-9B rate is an alternative option. However, because the non-electric vehicle portion of the account must be served by a Domestic tariff, it is important to understand that the customer will be losing the less costly off-peak rates formerly applied to home power use.
How do I get billed for electricity if I plug in at home, work, a public charging station or a friend's house? What if a friend charges his/her vehicle at my house?
Electricity used when charging an electric vehicle at home will appear as a charge in the customer's normal monthly utility bill. When charging at a friend's house, that electricity usage will appear on the friend's bill. We anticipate that billing systems for vehicle charging outside the home will evolve over time in ways similar to how customers today pay for gasoline.
How does paying for kilowatt hours compare to buying gasoline?
According to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), buying electricity is approximately equivalent to buying gasoline at $1 per gallon.
Will electric vehicles drive up the price of electricity?
During early market development, when the number of plug-in electric vehicles is still relatively small, the impact on overall utility rates is expected to be negligible. Any rate changes will first be reviewed and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission.
In the longer term, the effect of plug-in electric vehicles on electricity rates will be determined in large part by the California Public Utilities Commission. The Commission is currently investigating rates, charging infrastructure and other policies to prepare for the expected growth of plug-in electric vehicles.
What if I have a third party service provider?
Your current service provider should be your first contact for details regarding your electric service and your purchase of a PEV.
Charging Options
Can PG&E shut off my vehicle charging?
Only a power outage or failure to pay your electric bill will interrupt vehicle charging without your permission.
Can I sell back electricity from my PEV battery through vehicle-to-grid technology?
This technology is not currently available. Automakers and utilities are currently investigating PEV-to-home and PEV-to-grid technologies. These technologies would enable PEV owners to use their cars as a source of electricity during a power outage or emergency, and it would enable customers to offer electricity back to the grid during periods of high electricity demand.
How do I charge my electric vehicle when I'm not at home? Where else can I charge my PEV?
If your vehicle is capable of charging at 120 volts, you will be able to plug your vehicle into any standard outlet for charging while away from home (assuming you can get permission to plug your vehicle from the outlet owner).
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have gasoline engines, so you can always buy gasoline as you ordinarily do to extend the range of your vehicle.
With battery electric vehicles (BEVs), to avoid inconveniences you will want to fully charge your vehicle before you leave home, especially if the round trip you are taking is close to the range of the vehicle. If the trip is longer than the range of the vehicle you will need to plan where you will be able to recharge your vehicle.
Are there site specific recommendations for outdoor and indoor charging?
Outdoor Charging
Charging equipment is weatherproof and can be placed outdoors, but it should be protected from damage. It is also recommended that the EVSE be installed in a secure location to protect against vandalism. In addition, PEV buyers should check the manufacturer's recommended operating and charging temperature range for the battery pack and site the EVSE accordingly. This applies to both indoor and outdoor locations.
Indoor Charging
Enclosed garages offer convenience, safety and security. Most single family residences will employ this option. Some of the factors to consider when planning an EVSE installation in an enclosed garage include:
- The EV charger should be placed where the cable will stretch the shortest distance, where the user can easily reach the charger handle, and where it does not block entry or exit. Therefore, check the location of the charging port on the car before planning the EVSE location.
- Avoid having the cords and cables cross areas with heavy foot traffic.
- If practical, use cable management to prevent accidents.
- EVSE must not be installed near explosive material; flammable vapors, liquids and gases; combustible dust or fibers; and materials that ignite spontaneously on contact with air. See NEC Articles 500 to 516 for more information.

Baines enjoyed success when he moved to Everton in 2007-08 and pushed his claims for inclusion in the England squad with some consistent performances in the Toffees' defence.
Beginning his professional career at Wigan, he made his debut for the club in 2002 and was only 17 when he made his bow. Going on to become a first team regular, Baines made over 150 appearances for the Latics before he chose to move on to Everton.
Having initially seen his career back on Merseyside disrupted by injury, he went on to make the left-back slot his own and played in his first full international (having been called up at Under-21 level) against Egypt in February 2010.
Strengths: One of the most committed defenders you will see, his passion and desire to win the ball hold him in good stead.
Weaknesses: Not the tallest of players, and can sometimes be caught out of position when looking to attack.
Career high: Starting in the 2009 FA Cup final, Everton would not manage to upset Chelsea and lost the game 2-1.
Career low: In his first major final, the Carling Cup final of 2006, he was given the run around by Ronaldo as Manchester United beat Wigan 4-0.
Style: Uncompromising, passionate, pacey, a real team player.
Quotes: "He is a very good attacking full-back. He's quick, hard to get past as a defender and he is good on the ball. He has varied talents and we have been pleased with him.'' Everton manager David Moyes, February 2010.
Trivia: From Merseyside, Baines was actually on the books of the Toffees as a teenager and came full circle when he returned.

The College's Center for Career and Professional Development (CCPD) has implemented a new program that helps seniors identify, pursue, and secure a job after graduation. It's the gravy--or extra value--added to the meat and potatoes of the liberal arts. And, typical of "K," the new recipe comes with the personal touch of a one-on-one relationship.
The new program, called Senior Career Research Services (SCRS), connects each student with a career researcher. CCPD recently hired two--Lori Earls and Karen Williams--and both are dedicated entirely to SCRS. Earls and Williams work individually with their senior clients to navigate the storms, doldrums, and occasional smooth sailing of the job search process.
It may sound easy, but according to Lori Young, associate director of CCPD and the chief architect of the SCRS program, job searching is drastically different from the academic world to which seniors have grown accustomed. For that reason, "the search process can seem overwhelming, confusing, and disheartening," Young says. "Students can become discouraged with the intermittent and lengthy timelines that job searches take. The uncertainty regarding one's chances of securing a 'dream position' often immobilizes many students from even pursuing those options."
SCRS is a three-phase opportunity open to all seniors that helps each individual clarify employment goals and develop a job search action plan. Execution of the plan is measured and rewarded with progression into the program's later phases.
It all begins with a dinner (two are held each week), at which up to 10 seniors meet Earls or Williams. Each senior pre-registers for his or her dinner and receives in advance a series of questions that is helpful preparation for the short written exercises he or she completes at the dinner. The students also learn the fundamentals of developing a job search action plan. By dinner's end, each senior has provided the Career Researcher valuable information, including a wish list of search targets.
The Career Researcher uses that information to find, within 72 hours, three specific job opportunities for each senior. "In addition, I share with each client how I found those three opportunities," says Earls. "It's important for them to learn the process."
The ball is now in the hands of the senior client. After receiving the three targets (and within two weeks of the dinner) seniors customize or create a résumé and cover letter for each. These and a job search action plan are reviewed by the Career Research, after which the senior sends them to the employers.
Actively tracking the status of these three applications for a period of two weeks and updating the Career Researcher qualifies the senior for SCRS Phase II, during which the Career Researcher refers the client for positions posted with the College. Continued
"Employers tell us that 'K' grads are outstanding employees, that the work they do is of higher quality and creativity than most"weekly follow-up by the senior on all referrals is the portal to Phase III.
In this phase seniors complete a "LinkedIn" profile, including a professional biographical introduction. "'LinkedIn' is the professional's 'Facebook,'" explains Earl. She uses her client's "LinkedIn" profile to secure a career advocate, expanding the senior's job search team to three.
Career advocates are alumni, parents, Guild members, and friends of the College who provide those seniors who continue into this phase with valuable advice and networking possibilities.
"The program will help more of our graduates immediately secure jobs that they desire," says Young. "More importantly, it will demystify the job search process and give seniors experience with that process.
Says senior Lucy Ohle, a participant in the program: "I found the career dinner to be helpful, both because it provided me with actual, feasible job results, and because it demonstrated that I can, in fact, organize my thoughts and wants and goals in order to sit down and successfully search and apply for jobs."
"Employers tell us that 'K' grads are outstanding employees, that the work they do is of higher quality and creativity than most," Young adds. "Their superiority on the job has been somewhat mitigated by some weaknesses with the job search process. SCRS helps address those."
