Communication Tips–Before the Hire & On the Job
by Georgia Adamson - May, 2014
Communication. What a vague and potentially meaningless term! Note that this doesn't mean it's unimportant–far from it. Communication comes in two forms, broadly described as written and oral (spoken). For greater success in landing a new position and doing well afterward, you need to have strong skills in both areas. 6 Tips for Effective Communication Whether in a job search or after you've been hired, you need to ens...
Part-Time or Full-Time Employment: What's Best for You?
by Georgia Adamson - Apr, 2014
If you need full benefits and/or a substantial salary, the question of part-time or full-time might be easy for you to answer. However, in many cases, it's not so straightforward. Part-Time vs Full-Time Trade-Offs Clearly, you stand to receive more income if you work a full-time position, and the employment package generally includes at least some benefits, such as vacation and health insurance. For those of you who ar...
Two Ways to Do Your Resume: DIY & HAE
by Georgia Adamson - Apr, 2014
Boiled down to its simplest level, you have two ways to create or revamp your resume: Do It Yourself (DIY) or Hire An Expert (HAE). Since my profession is resume writing, you might guess I'm not going to tell you you should always do your own resume, but I will say that sometimes "it depends." Having made my disclosure about possibly not being 100% impartial, I'll still do my best to give an unbiased view of the two ways y...
Toxic Work Environments
by Georgia Adamson - Apr, 2014
This isn't the first time I've blogged about toxic work situations–including toxic bosses. However, it was prompted by a recent comment from a new client that was fairly disturbing. He indicated that even though he'd had a successful record over the past three years, he was very concerned about the situation in his company. Many people had quit, including his last two bosses, and a number of others had been fired. He...
Job Interviews: When Silence is Golden
by Georgia Adamson - Apr, 2014
Have you ever put your foot in your mouth, figuratively speaking, and then wished you could take back what you said? That's an uncomfortable experience in any situation, but it's potentially disastrous in a job interview. Once the words are out of your mouth, you can't un-say them. That's why the title of this blog post is "Job Interviews: When Silence is Golden." Now, don't get me wrong: When you prepare for a job interv...
Your Career Roadmap
by Georgia Adamson - Apr, 2014
In the days before GPS, you didn't take a trip to unfamiliar territory without a roadmap. If you did, you were likely to get lost and waste a lot of time trying to find your way again! The same is true of your hopes for career success. Note that a roadmap can often include more than one route to a given destination. For example, you might want to stick to the freeways as much as possible to reach your destination quickly...
Job Offers and Foot-Dragging Employers
by Georgia Adamson - Mar, 2014
Have you ever had the experience of interviewing (multiple times) for a position and feeling as if an offer was just around the corner…but it didn't come and didn't come and….? Then you know how frustrating and exasperating it can be. What you might not have considered was how seriously this situation can derail your job search and prevent you from reaching a successful conclusion. Job Offers Aren't Inevitable Even...
Performance Reviews: A Love-Hate Relationship?
by Georgia Adamson - Mar, 2014
Very few people, if any, would say they love performance reviews–either receiving or giving them. After all, they're a pain to prepare for, regardless of whether you're on the giving or the receiving end, right? For this post, I'm going to focus on receiving a performance review, including tips for making the experience as positive as possible and enhancing your prospects for long-term career success. 5 Reasons People...
Job Performance: How Do You Measure Up?
by Georgia Adamson - Mar, 2014
It's easy–sometimes all too easy–to get caught up in the day-to-day activities of your work-life and not take a good look at how you're really doing overall. This approach bears an uncomfortably strong resemblance to a racehorse with blinkers on. If you've fallen into that trap, now is the time to free yourself from it. Job Performance and Blinkers Just to give a little background, blinkers have at least a couple of pu...
Avoid LinkedIn Goofs
by Georgia Adamson - Feb, 2014
As you probably know, LinkedIn keeps changing–sometimes it seems as if that happens every time you turn around. However, that's no excuse for letting yourself get so far behind the curve that your profile brands you as hopelessly out of touch. 10 Amateurish LinkedIn Blunders According to a Forbes.com article by personal branding guru William Arruda, there are "10 LinkedIn Blunders That Make You Look Like an Amateur." T...

Hello everyone
Hello! how it every one?
My name is will, im 24 and I live in Surry, England. This is the first time iv joined a forum, still working every thing out. Iv had loads of little bits of story floating around my head for years. I have spent many a day and night watching them swim past, round and round, but have never really been able to grab hold of any. Well, Recently I have discovered the best was to stop them slipping away, to Sheppard them in to one place is to write them down.
You laugh, (sometimes the most obvious answers are the hardest to see, or maybe im just stupid).
Its been a couple of months since I put pen to paper and its been awesome a true journey, iv had so much fun. Iv stumbled across my new favorite thing, which is really how I stumbled across this place..been hanging around for a few days especially the aspiring writers section and have been sucked in. Thanks for having me.

Re: Hello everyone
Hi and welcome Brenyth, I'm not a writer myself just a humble reader, though I do take a stab at the monthly writing challenge here (you will no doubt hear much more on that front very shortly). You will find people here very helpful towards aspiring writers especially if you reciprocate that help.
So have fun and you can probably now write at least a couple of hours a off from your free time every day

Re: Hello everyone
Hello, there, Thanks for the head up on the spam; I clobbered it. Yes, that is part of welcoming you; you're supposed to feel warm and communitised (and besides, my welcomes manage "eclectic" quite adequately.
As regards the aforementioned writing challenge, it is the Judge who is the heavyweight persuasion for that, but as I seem to have beaten her to the punch, here is the list of instructions:–
1) you go to http://www.sffchronicles.co.uk/forum...irst-post.html
2) you read the selection of seventy-five word expositions included in the thread.
3) you think "What a load of ancient shoemakers. They think they're writers? I could do better than that!"
4) You write a very short idea into a file in your computer, lick your index finger and proceed to count how many words it is.
5) A hundred and thirty? How can I cut it down at all, let alone by nearly half?
6) Somewhat more than an hour later you brush up the hair you have torn out, and let it drift over the Devil's Punchbowl. Then you carefully check the spelling and punctuation – the nit pickers' league is powerful and unpardoning – and post your chef d'oeuvre on the thread. Horrors! Push the edit button fast, before it disappears, and correct the inevitable error which inevitably shows up the moment the thing is posted (as against the one that shows up two minutes after the edit function has expired.
7) Accessory penances; you can go along to the chat about the challenges (August & September) thread and own up to having joined in, or read through them all over again and try and work out how to vote for just one at the end of the month…
And people do this for pleasure?
What am I welcoming you in to?
You could try reading A Quick Tour of the Forums , where nixie has demonstrated she is capable of writing something in the 'introductions' section longer than one word, but you trapped a spammer all on your own; I suspect you'll be capable of getting lost (loster?) all on your own…

While exploring the Aspiring Writers section, don't forget to peek into the Workshop. People seem to enjoy doing the exercises there. Particularly that one that involves 75 words.

Have you noticed the new blue and white street signs in Barrington?
Upland Way has one. So does Barrington Avenue, Joy Street, South Street, Walter Street, High Street and Massachusetts Avenue.
The metal signs are the first ones made with a new computerized sign-making machine at the Department of Public Works. It replaced a manual machine that took quite a bit longer to manufacture each sign, said DPW Director Alan Corvi.
They are a reflective blue that is much more reflective in headlights at night, he said. They also are larger – from 6 to 9 inches in width.
The signs are replacing the white signs with black letters, he said.
"As the signs wear out or are stolen," Corvi said, "they will be replaced with the new blue signs. Not all at once."
Maybe in two years, he said, every street sign in Barrington will be reflective blue.
The new signs also now meet federal guidelines for size and reflectivity, said Corvi.

When we're entrusted with our clients' facilities, our philosophy is one of "considerate stewardship" — striking a critical balance between being effective and maintaining the pristine integrity of the properties in our care. They must be fervently protected yet gently handled. This stewardship pervades whether the client facilities are historic or non-historic, whether they are on Park lands or in a National Forest, whether they are five-star or two-star.
We view ourselves as visitors, operating in our clients' homes and, as such, we recognize that we serve as stewards of those facilities. Our responsibilities vary depending on our client requirements. Sometimes we're asked to maintain facilities, other times to upgrade and improve. In all cases, we perform our responsibilities and prioritize our clients' aspirations.
Our goals are to protect, conserve, and preserve. This philosophy is especially important with respect to those buildings and cultural landscapes that are classified as historic properties. For these properties, we recognize a greater responsibility for stewardship — taking actions to ensure that these properties are preserved and maintained throughout the period of our contract, with an ongoing objective to improve their condition while respecting their historical significance.

Found June 20, 2013 on Fox Sports:
PLAYERS: Cliff Lee, Jonathan Papelbon, Kyle Lohse, Joe Blanton, Roy Oswalt, Hunter Pence, Roy Halladay, Shane Victorino, Chase Utley, Michael Young, Carlos Ruiz, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Shin-Soo Choo, Jacoby Ellsbury, AJ Burnett, Hiroki Kuroda, Ruben Amaro
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Angels, Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates
TEAMS: Philadelphia Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, Los Angeles Angels, Colorado Rockies, San Francisco Giants, Boston Red Sox, Seattle Mariners, Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds, Pittsburgh Pirates
While the Philadelphia Phillies struggle to achieve even a winning record, speculation persists that Cliff Lee and Jonathan Papelbon will be available before next month's non-waiver trade deadline. That's not necessarily the case. ''Absolutely not, because these are guys I'd be better off having on my club than not,'' Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. told The Associated Press. ''Who am I going to replace these guys with to win a championship? These are championship-caliber players. If we think about moving these guys, then I better be getting someone of better or equal value and I just don't see that happening.'' Lee is 9-2 with a 2.53 ERA. The 34-year-old lefty is signed for two more years at $25 million per plus a vesting option for 2016. He's already been traded three times, including twice before the deadline. Papelbon began the year 13 for 13 in save tries before blowing two chances during a three-game series against defending NL East champion Washington. He's signed for two more years at $13 million per plus a vesting option for 2016. Amaro and other GMs in similar situations - non-contending clubs with high-priced veterans - have to make a tough decision before July 31. Will they be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline? At this point, it's too early to make that determination. The Phillies are 35-38 and entered Thursday eight games behind first-place Atlanta in the NL East and 7 1/2 out of a wild-card berth. ''It's about trying to improve your club whether it's for the short term, the long term or both,'' Amaro said. ''It depends on your perspective. You are almost always buying because if you are moving veteran guys for younger guys that can help your future then you are still buying something. For me, it's about trying to fortify your club at the major league level or minor league level.'' The Phillies won five straight division titles from 2007-2011, including the 2008 World Series. They made major midseason moves each of those years, acquiring Kyle Lohse, Joe Blanton, Lee, Roy Oswalt and Hunter Pence. Amaro replaced Pat Gillick after the `08 season, and he made the moves for Lee, Oswalt, Pence and Roy Halladay. He also traded Lee after the 2009 season before re-signing him a year later. Last season, Amaro dealt Pence and another All-Star outfielder, Shane Victorino, on July 31. At the time, the Phillies were 13 games out of a wild-card spot. Then they started winning and climbed within three games of St. Louis for the second-wild card berth on Sept. 13 only to fall short. The addition of that second wild-card spot keeps more teams in contention, forcing GMs to make more difficult decisions about the direction of their clubs. ''It's about what position are we in, how are we playing and I have to think about the history of our club,'' Amaro said. ''We have a history of playing very good in the second half. We're one of the best second-half teams over the last 10 years. That's a factor, too. We always seem to finish strong. We were completely out of last year at the trade deadline and ended up getting back in the race in September.'' Though Lee and Papelbon may not be going anywhere, Amaro could be tempted to move veterans in the final years of their contracts. Chase Utley, Michael Young and Carlos Ruiz fit that description. ''I haven't ruled out the possibility of having these guys back at some point,'' Amaro said, adding Halladay's name to the list. ''I don't know if that's humanly possible but I can't rule that possibility out, either. Of course, you can trade them and try to sign them back but that's very rare when that happens.'' The Phillies did that with Lee after he helped them win another NL pennant in `09 and got the team's only two wins in the World Series against the New York Yankees. Lee was traded to Seattle the same day the Phillies acquired Halladay in December 2009. The Mariners traded him to Texas and he helped them reach the 2010 World Series before spurning more lucrative offers and returning to the Phillies as a free agent that December. Lee hears the rumors and he wants to win. He also wants to stay in Philadelphia. ''I signed here to win and that's never going to change no matter who asks me,'' Lee said. ''I think it's misconstrued in thinking I wanted to play somewhere else and that's not the case. I want to win and I want to win here and that's it.'' Other teams that could be sellers next month include Toronto, the Chicago White Sox and Cubs, the Los Angeles Angels and Dodgers, and Milwaukee. Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson, Shin-Soo Choo, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann, A.J. Burnett, Hiroki Kuroda and Pence are some of the star players playing out the final years of their contracts. But their teams are in the postseason mix, so they're unlikely to move. The idea of dismantling the roster and rebuilding doesn't appeal to Amaro, though it may be an idea for other clubs. ''If I have to make changes, it's about going sideways,'' Amaro said. ''If I have to go sideways to get better for later on, then that's something I have to consider but I don't have enough pieces that I like to go blow it up. Why would I want to blow it up when my job is to try and be a contender every year.''

Boys Soccer
Christopher Smith
---- — Windham won its first state title in just its third varsity season and North Andover made an exciting run in coach Bill Tarbox's final season as coach.
And then there is junior Salah Baladi, who scored 25 more goals than he did as a sophomore and Windham junior James Baiguy, who had to take the biggest shot of the year.
Overall, it was an exciting boys high school soccer season. Without any further delay, here are the awards:
North Andover
In their first season in the MVC, the Scarlet Knights went 13-0-2 in conference and outscored their opponents 62-13.
With coach Bill Tarbox in his 22nd and final year at North Andover, the team won the Division 2 North tournament before losing 3-0 to Medway in the state semifinals.
It was a great run for the team and a terrific 40-year overall coaching run for Tarbox.
Windham's boys soccer program earned its first-ever victory Sept. 7, 2010. Less than 26 months later, it won its first Division 2 state championship, posting a 3-2 victory over top-seeded Hollis-Brookline in the title game Nov. 4.
The championship went to a dramatic best-of-five shootout.
Connor Merinder
The Andover sophomore keeper had a strong season, including a 22-save effort in a 2-1 victory over Danvers. The 6-foot-5 basketball standout shut out Haverhill twice, combining for 14 saves.
Salah Baladi
Baladi scored just three goals last year after he and his family moved to Methuen all the way from Morocco, where he had not play organized soccer.
Baladi, a junior, was the MVC Division 2 MVP this fall, scoring 28 goals with seven assists.
Kristoff Gonzalez
The Greater Lawrence senior midfield not only has a cool name, but he scored 10 goals, which was tied for the team lead with Douglas Leiva.
OF THE YEAR:@headNotebook:
Andrew Pesci
The Windham senior suffered a posterior cruciate ligament tear five games into the 2011 season.
Pesci, who is expected to graduate early from Windham and play college soccer at Southern New Hampshire University, posted 12 shutouts this fall including a 17-save performance in a 3-0 victory over Souhegan.
He made seven saves and also a huge stop during the shootout in the Division 2 title game.
MOST IMPROVED TEAM: Timberlane
After going 3-13 in 2011, the Owls went 9-6-3 and made the quarterfinals this year.
First-year coach Mitch Mencis did a fantastic job and the seniors pushed everyone to work hard from the end last season through this season.
Ranger renaissance
Coach Jeff Lamy has completely turned around the Methuen program.
Methuen posted a combined 2-45-5 record from 2008-10, and entered Lamy's second season (2011) with a 20-game winless streak (0-16-4). The Rangers went 4-13-1 last year and then improved to 11-7-1. They won their Division 1 North first round game as the No. 14 seed over previously-unbeaten Chelsea, the No. 3 seed, this fall.
James Baiguy
With Windham leading its best-of-five shootout 3-2, the junior backup entered to shoot the fifth penalty kick.
He finished off Hollis-Brookline, pounding one past keeper Linds Cadwell.
Baiguy, who moved to New Hampshire from Costa Rica five years ago, hadn't taken a penalty kick in a game since moving to the U.S.
He was not originally scheduled to take the shot but David Carbonello was out with an ankle injury.
Cody Sedler
There are several talented keepers to pick from but Cody Sedler had the best season of all.
The Pentucket sophomore posted 12 shutouts, including an 11-save performance in a 1-0 victory over North Andover.
UNSUNG HERO AWARD: Steven O'Callaghan and Andrew Ayres
O'Callaghan, a Sanborn senior, didn't receive much ink this year. But he had quite a season with 12 goals and seven assists to lead Sanborn to a 9-7-1 record. He was the team MVP this season.
Ayres, a Central senior defender, also flew under the radar but had quite a strong season and was voted All-MVC.
SEASON GAME:@headNotebook:
Hart scores four
Londonderry's Rob Hart had several strong games. After all, he netted 22 goals. But his best was a four-goal game against a legit Pinkerton team in a 5-1 Lancers' win Sept. 29.
Chris Ulbrich
The Windham senior striker scored three goals and also added a shootout goal in three playoff games.
BEST BROTHER COMBO: Righini brothers
Darren and Todd Righini of Salem were a strong combination. Darren is considered the team's midfield general by coach Tony Karibian. He unanimously was voted captain by his teammates and the coaching staff for next year. Meanwhile, it is difficult to find a Salem goal that Todd, a striker, didn't figure into this season, Karibian said.

Why Stevie Is An NFL Number 1 Wide Receiver
Bills top wide out Stevie Johnson had a performance to forget on...
Update: Michael Lombardi has now reported he believes Reggie Wayne is available "for the right price"
What went from Schefty Sportscenter Speculation has taken one step closer to becoming a reality. According to Incarcerated Bob, the New York character who broke the Brandon Lloyd trade rumors, Reggie Wayne is now "officially" on the trade block. IB isn't always correct, but when he is, he can be way ahead of the curve. IB also listed the Chargers, Redksins, and Titans as potential suitors.
And in any event, this seems to make sense. Wayne is 33, scheduled to make 5.9 million in the final year of his contract, and the Colts have no delusions of grandeur other than a certain QB prospect (although the last time the Colts took the greatest QB prospect ever who was from Stanford, it didn't work out too well); so it only makes sense that the Colts would be interested in getting whatever value they can for a player they presumably do not plan on resigning. On the other hand, these issues would all be for the Bills except whatever playoff hopes the Bills have this year.
The interesting part to me in either the instance of Wayne or Brandon Lloyd, both receivers are older and in the final year of their deals. That means Buffalo seriously believes it can make a run at a championship this year; or they are attempting to get a discount on potential free agent target next spring by trading and renegotiating now. Whatever happens, we've already gained a glimpse of where this team sees itself at the moment.

One common irritation culprit is nickel, a metal that's used in many alloys, mixtures of several metals that are whipped up to create a new metal. Many people are sensitive to even small amounts of nickel. If your skin turns green or black (or another color) when you wear costume jewelry, sterling silver, or even some types of gold, it may be reacting to nickel (or another ingredient) in the metal-mixture.
Remember that your body is unique and you could experience reactions to components that create no problems at all for your friends. If jewelry becomes an irritant, remove it at once and try again when the piercing is fully healed. If any irritation occurs, discard the jewelry and avoid wearing body jewelry made from that metal or other material.
Metals to Avoid in Unhealed Body Piercings
- Do not wear sterling silver jewelry in unhealed body piercings. Sterling silver is made from 92.5 percent silver and 7.5 percent of another metal, usually copper, which makes the always-soft silver more durable. But copper is another metal that creates problems for many people, and sterling is still soft enough to scratch, creating nicks that are a breeding ground for bacteria.
Sterling oxidizes (reacts with oxygen) when it comes in contact with body tissues and fluids. You've seen the end result -- tarnish, and that's not something you want in an open wound.
- Avoid all types of costume jewelry for unhealed piercings, because it usually contains large amounts of nickel. In recent years, some costume jewelry has even been found to contain lead, which would be dangerous for you to wear in any type of jewelry. In 2004, the state of California sued several major retailers for not disclosing that jewelry on their shelves contained lead.
- Do not choose body jewelry made from plated gold, because the plating can rub off and expose the underlying metal, probably mostly nickel, causing irritation or infection. Gold-filled jewelry has a much thicker coat of gold, but should still be avoided, because a deep scratch could expose the metal underneath and provide a home for bacteria.
Some piercing pros recommend that you even avoid true gold jewelry, but others feel that 14K and 18K gold are fine for unhealed piercings. Consider this -- pure gold is labeled as 24 karat gold. It is very soft, making germ-trapping nicks more likely, so not really a good candidate for new body piercings. Other metals are used to make gold more durable and to reduce its cost.
Remember the number 24, because it tells you how many "parts" are in a mix of gold.
- 24 karat gold is pure gold
- 18 karat gold is made from 18 parts pure gold and 6 parts of other metals
- 14 karat gold is made from 14 parts pure gold and 10 parts of other metals
You get the idea, the lower the karat designation, the more "other" metals in the mix, often nickel or palladium if a white gold is desired, copper to create a rose color and silver to add a hint of green. Learn more about gold alloys and buying gold jewelry.
Avoid gold alloys that contain nickel and ask your piercing pro his or her opinion about wearing gold jewelry in unhealed piercings.
Bone, Wood & Other Absorbent JewelryFor now, stick with safe metals and save the bone and wood jewelry, and any other body jewelry made from an absorbent or non-smooth material, until your piercings are fully healed. And even then, watch how they react with your skin -- some people can only wear that type of body jewelry for short periods of time.
Metals for New Body PiercingsSurgical Stainless Steel (SSS)
There are many types of stainless steel, but only a few types of surgical stainless steel are typically used for jewelry, or should be used in new piercings.
- 316L is the most common SSS jewelry you'll see when you shop for body jewelry. Used in body implants, it is durable and doesn't typically react with body fluids (the L refers to low carbon).
- 316LVM is similar to 316L, but has a smoother finish (the added VM indicates the metal is produced in a vacuum).
SSS does contain nickel, and could be an irritant to those who are very nickel-sensitive.
Surgical implant titanium, Ti6A14V ELI
Titanium is expensive, but is super durable and contains just tiny amounts of nickel. Titanium is available in a rainbow of colors.
Look for jewelry labeled as 99.9% niobium, or sometimes as 999 Niobium. Niobium body jewelry is more expensive than SSS jewelry, but less expensive than titanium.
Tygon is a surgical plastic that can be used for new piercings in people who are sensitive to metals

For college freshmen who suffer from separation anxiety, you may want to bring your family with you to the dormitory. The federal government says universities have an obligation to admit "emotional support" animals into school housing.
We're not talking about service animals, trained to perform tasks to assist people with disabilities, but emotional support animals for companionship and affection.
Stetson University senior Brenton Alloway says he likes the fact that pets are allowed in his dorm, Stetson Cove Apartments -- one of two dorms on campus that is pet friendly."You can choose when you sign up, whether you want to have a roommate who has a pet or not, and I think it's nice," he said.
Nemec Hall also allows pets, and starting next year, part of University Village Apartments will also allow furry friends. Of course, there are stipulations, like size and breed requirements, along with roommate approval.
"It was a really easy piece for us to say, 'Yes, this is something we want to do for our students!' We know it helps make the residence hall room feel like a home," said Colin MacFarlane with Stetson University.
Housing providers must offer people with disabilities a "reasonable accommodation" for emotional support animals under both the Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said in a notice to its regional offices late last month.
Emotional support animals require no special training or certification, but HUD said campus housing officials can ask students to show that they have a disability that is helped by having an animal around, the Wall Street Journal reports.

NORMAN — It's a dirty — actually tragic — little secret. The U.S. State Department lists the United States as the No. 1 destination for human trafficking, especially of children and young teens. California, New York, Texas and Oklahoma are at the top of the list of states most active.
That sordid fact came home a year ago when the remains of 19-year-old Carina Saunders were found in a duffel bag discarded behind a grocery store in Bethany. Two men were charged — one a Mexican national and the other an Oklahoman who told police the young woman was killed to send a message to other kidnapped prostitutes controlled by a trafficking ring.
Last week, a legislative panel heard harrowing tales about human trafficking and how close to home it really is. A Sand Springs woman, now 41, went from being a straight-A cheerleader from a middle-class family to the victim of child trafficking in the 1980s.
What the legislative panel does with the information it received will become apparent next session. While there are laws against human trafficking what's needed is tougher enforcement and the police power to investigate trafficking rings.
Rep. Pam Peterson, R-Tulsa, who requested the study, said the woman's story contained a powerful message about the reality of human trafficking. "What the general public often doesn't realize is that now the average age of recruitment is between 12 and 14," she said.
A law passed by the legislature recently created a new, seven-agent unit within the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs dedicated to investigating human trafficking. Darrell Weaver, the agency's executive director, said, "Someone told me years ago that human trafficking could be larger than drug trafficking. I didn't want to believe them, but the more we look at this, it's surely more troubling because of the victims."

What a cutie!
Your SS was too low though. You have some blur (esp on #3), the others aren't too bad, but I never shoot with a SS below 1/125. I'm not sure if you are shooting in Manual or Auto, but if you would have increased your ISO or shot near a window with more light, your SS wouldn't have to be as low.
They are also underexposed. Keep working at it, you have a beautiful little subject to practice on!

$9 billion cash infusion for Morgan Stanley by Mitsubishi UFJ
Submitted by Peter Welsh on Tue, 10/14/2008 - 01:09
As a result of its talks with Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. - about terms of the $9 billion cash infusion - the Wall Street firm, Morgan Stanley, registered a rise of in German trading. It went up 31% from its close.
The Morgan Stanley stock, which on October 10 sank 60% going down to a 13-year low, climbed to $12.69 at 11:05 a.m. in Frankfurt trading.
The two firms said on Monday that Morgan Stanley has wrapped up plans to sell a part of itself to Mitsubishi UFJ. Under the terms of the deal, Mitsubishi, one of Japan's largest banks, will acquire a 21% ownership stake of Morgan Stanley in exchange for $9 billion. A majority of that investment will be in the form of convertible preferred stock that paid Mitsubishi a 10% dividend, and the remainder will be in non-convertible preferred stock that too pays a 10% dividend.
According to reports, Mitsubishi had earlier agreed to buy a mix of preferred and common stock of Morgan, but wanted better terms as Morgan's market value plummeted in recent weeks. On September 29, Mitsubishi had agreed to pay $6 billion for Morgan Stanley convertible preferred shares and $3 billion for common stock.
The closing of the final $9 billion deal comes after much speculation that Mitsubishi might pull out of the investment.
Before the final terms were disclosed, Tom Murphy, managing partner at Family Office Research & Management Ltd. in Sydney had already hinted about renegotiations, saying: "Japanese capital will be a significant player in this crisis, and it won't be shy capital when it comes to deal- making. The global news isn't good yet, and investors will continue to question and focus on renegotiating deals where they can."
The New York Times reported that the US government has assured Mitsubishi UFJ that its investment in Morgan Stanley would be protected. The report further added that this pledge was made to keep Mitsubishi UFJ from walking away, and may serve as a model for future transactions.

I handle sharp knives and hot pans without flinching. But nothing scares me like a pastry bag.
Make food taste good? I can do that. Make it pretty? Not so much.
That makes Halloween food perfect for me. Give me gory, creepy and bumpy over delicate, artful and lovely any day.
Before this weekends Halloween parties, I holed up in the kitchen for a day and played around with the coolest ideas I found for food that would provoke a grin from the eaters instead of screams from the cook.
Nothing here that takes skill any tougher than rolling dough between your palms or stretching strands of melted marshmallow around a cake.
If you have young kids who are too excited to eat before they ring doorbells, hand them Gaping Apple Mouths made from apple wedges, peanut butter (use almond or sunflower butter if peanut butter is an issue) and sliced almonds.
Halloween ought to be childs play even for the adults in the kitchen.
PREHEAT oven to 350 degrees. Spray 3 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray.
COMBINE the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil and water in a mixing bowl. With mixer on slow, combine until just blended, then increase mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes. Divide batter between the cake pans and bake 30 to 33 minutes, until cake layers are pulling away from the sides of the pan and the tops spring back when lightly pressed.
REMOVE from oven and cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans and place on wire racks to cool completely.
BEAT the butter until fluffy. Sift together the confectioners' sugar, cocoa and vanilla extract. Beat into the butter to make a smooth paste, then beat in the cream until the frosting is fluffy but still thick. To darken the color, beat in red and green food coloring. (See note).
FILL and stack the layers, then frost the outside of the cake, smoothing the frosting. Set aside.
PLACE the marshmallows in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on 100% power for 30 seconds. The marshmallows will be lumpy; stir until smooth. Let sit briefly until cool enough to handle.
GRAB a pinch of melted marshmallow and pull with your fingers to create long, stretchy strands. Wrap them randomly around the cake, trying not to touch the frosting with your fingers. Wrap as much or as little as you like. Let stand to set, although the marshmallow will stay a little sticky. Press plastic spiders into the cake to finish the effect.
NOTE: Black is a tough color to make in frosting. Adding red and green liquid will darken chocolate frosting, although it will still be brown. Using black coloring, usually available as a gel or paste, will get a darker color but don't use too much – it can impart a bitter taste.Witch's Finger Cookies 1/2 to 1 cup raw almonds Red and green food coloring 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon salt Red cake-decorating gel (optional)
PLACE the almonds in a small bowl and add a few drops of red food coloring, or a few drops each of red and green coloring. (The two together will create black "fingernails.") Toss the almonds to coat. Spread on a paper towel and let them air-dry.
BEAT the butter with an electric mixer, then beat in the confectioners' sugar, egg and vanilla and almond extracts. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Beat into the butter mixture to make a stiff dough.
WRAP the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. (It shapes better if it's firm.)
PREHEAT oven to 325 degrees. To create each "finger," start with a ball of dough about the size of a golf ball. Roll it between your palms or on a work surface to create a thin, 2 1/2- to 3-inch rope. To get "joints," press it lightly against your fingers. Place on a baking sheet. Press an almond into the end with the pointed end sticking out a little. Use a toothpick to draw several lines under the "nail" and in the middle for the knuckle.
BAKE 20 to 25 minutes, just until barely brown. Cool on racks. If you want, just before serving, remove each almond, squirt a little red gel into the hole and then replace the almond. That will help them stay set and will also look a little creepier.YIELD: About 2 dozen.

A Better Model of Military Intervention?
How covert assistance to Colombia shows the viability of the so-called 'indirect approach.'
Sunday's Washington Post contained a fascinating article about U.S. covert assistance to the government of Colombia in its war against the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and National Liberation Army (ELN) rebels. The Central Intelligence Agency and elements of the U.S. Special Operations Command worked with the Colombian military to provide training, assistance and capabilities such as intelligence fusion and off-the-shelf kits to convert regular "dumb" bombs into precision-guided munitions. (Not only do such accurate weapons help to reduce the probability of so-called "collateral damage," but the U.S. used encryption on the guidance systems to ensure that the Colombians used them against approved targets. When the Colombians showed that they were reliably using them they were provided with full access in 2010.)
This covert assistance coupled with the publicly acknowledged Plan Colombia assistance, in turn, has helped the Colombian government to re-gain large swathes of territory from the rebels, to work with locals to assuage grievances and to drastically reduce the numbers of kidnappings, homicides, and the hectare area of coca plant cultivation.
This type of intervention is generally referred to under the rubric of the "indirect approach" – although such approaches are highly scalable in terms of the commitment put forward. The assistance in Colombia is probably more rightly described as an "indirect indirect approach" because U.S. troops weren't directly engaged in the fighting. Such a mode of operation stands in stark contrast to the large commitments of personnel and materiel such as Iraq and Afghanistan and might be seen as the road not taken over the past decade. But is it feasible and replicable elsewhere?
Writing over at Foreign Affairs, for instance, the National War College's Michael Mazarr has argued that the United States' obsession with state-building in weak, failing or failed states needs to end and that:
After a decade of conflict and effort with precious little to show for it, however, the recent era of interventionist U.S. state building is drawing to a close. And although there are practical reasons for this shift -- the United States can no longer afford such missions, and the public has tired of them -- the decline of the state-building narrative reflects a more profound underlying truth: the obsession with weak states was always more of a mania than a sound strategic doctrine. Its passing will not leave the United States more isolationist and vulnerable but rather free the country to focus on its more important global roles.
In Mazarr's view this doesn't mean that the U.S. should never get involved in such messy conflicts, but that any such interventions should be small, limited and rare.
[ See a collection of political cartoons on Afghanistan.]
Others, however, see such small-scale approaches as the new normal and that they should, in fact, be the main effort. Navy SEAL Captain Rob Newson, for instance, has argued recently that such a "MINFORCE" approach:
…should not be confused with an economy of force approach; designed as a holding action while the majority of available forces remain engaged in another, higher priority fight. This economy of force construct may have been the case as the wars raged in Iraq and Afghanistan. Today and in to the future, these small, distributed engagements with our partner nations should now be seen as the main effort. This is a new mental model, where size doesn't equate to priority, where distributed and remote nodes of our friendly network require innovative and agile staffing, logistics, fiscal, and intelligence support disproportionate to the numbers of personnel on the ground; where getting power to the edge of our network is fundamental to success against a distributed, adaptive, and resilient enemy network.
(Interestingly the Post article discusses how the simultaneous counter-network operations in Colombia, Afghanistan, and Iraq were feeding lessons and tactics, techniques and procedures to one another.)
[ See a collection of political cartoons on the Middle East.]
So which is it? Obviously the situations in Afghanistan and Iraq were not the historical norm. Both governments were toppled without replacements ready to go — contra Panama in 1989. In 2013, no one in power in Washington, D.C., is itching for another large-scale investment in blood and treasure to help prop up other governments overseas. So Mazarr is likely right about the lack of appetite for armed state-building.
But Newson and others such as Army Special Forces Lieutenant Colonel Fernando Lujan are right that when it is in the national interest to get involved in such messy conflicts it is most probably prudent to go in smaller. The key will be to differentiate when such interventions are necessary and under what conditions it is helpful to assist host-nation governments in countering such threats. This is the tricky part and will likely remain a point of contention and debate for current and future American policymakers.

TheTimesTribune.com, Corbin, KY
CORBIN — Sports Editorial by Chris Parsons
When the idea of bass fishing as a possible high school sport was mentioned to me, I'll be the first to admit that I laughed it off without much thought or consideration to the idea.
With the first season of bass fishing officially in the books and a slew of local athletes turning in impressive showings in this past weekend's state championships, I've had a change of heart.
In my own defense, it's really not like I said it couldn't or shouldn't be done, nor did I poke fun of the idea.
My reasoning was the fact that the specifics were going to be a beast to work out as well as the liability factor when it came to putting high school students on a boat in a competitive environment.
Of course there was the issue as to how a sports reporter was to go about covering such an event. Of course we can't go along on the boat with the anglers, so that leaves us depending on parents and coaches to email photos they may have gotten during or after events. The other possibility is to show up at the end of an event to photograph the weigh-ins.
First, let me congratulate all of our local athletes that took part in the first ever Kentucky Bass Fishing State Championship. This was a historical event that I feel each and every one of you should be extremely proud of.
South Laurel's Austin Turner and Lucas Powell finished third in the state, which is pretty good for a couple of freshmen if you ask me.
Add to the fact that the two teams that beat them out (Callaway and Muhlenberg County) are the two closest teams to the site of the championship, Kentucky Lake, and I think the third place finish is even more special considering the home-lake advantage (if that's even what it's called) the other two teams had.
Second, I've always been one to admit when I'm wrong and I was wrong about bass fishing.
When you really think about it, there's probably no other activity that's done more in the state of Kentucky by youngsters than fishing.
Sure, we have a lot of basketball players that shoot a lot of hoops or play a lot of baseball, but fishing is something a lot of people are introduced to at a very young age in Kentucky. Whether we've done it with our grandpa, an uncle, a brother or just a bunch of friends, a large number of people in Kentucky have fished at least once in their lives.
Considering the number of lakes and streams we have in our beautiful state, the idea of making bass fishing a sport is probably a move that should have been made a long time ago.
Not everyone is blessed with world-class great speed, the ability to knock down clutch a three-pointer, the hand-eye coordination or bat speed to hit a letter-high fastball, the swing to drive a golf ball 300 yards or – well you get my point.
Bass fishing has given a lot of student-athletes a chance to compete in a sport that they obviously enjoy, but there's more to it than that. Some of these anglers may not have had a chance to be a part of a sports team if not for bass fishing.
Sports can do wonders for a child's confidence and self-esteem and sometimes it doesn't even have to be about winning and losing, but instead about being a part of something in a group environment.
Add to the fact that there are scholarships coming available left and right in the sport of bass fishing and you've turned a family tradition into an opportunity to pay for a college education, which in turn can make life a lot easier.
In the end, bass fishing as a high school sport was a great idea. Now, if I can only get the powers-that-be to furnish our sports department with a nice boat so we can cover our local teams on a weekly basis, I'll be a happy man.

When Claire Shaw wakes in a Seattle hospital, she remembers nothing of what has happened to her. She doesn't recognize the concerned faces of her husband and friends. She knows only that she is lucky to be alive, the single surviving victim of a vicious serial killer.
Someone Who Won't Forget
She was a mistake--not like the others. She didn't understand. That was obvious now. But she would come to understand. Next time, there would be no escape--and her eyes would fill with that perfect, beautiful terror. . .
Some Things You Can't Imagine
On an island isolated from the mainland, Claire has returned to a life she barely knows anymore. A town that feels as if it, too, is hiding something in its dark woods, remote cabins, and chilly smiles. Bit by bit, Claire's memory is taking terrifying shape in a place where fear is very much at home. . .

The Woodmore school board and administration plan to devote much of a forum Monday night to explaining the district's financial status to residents and to listen to the concerns residents have about district operations, says John Fernbaugh, superintendent.
Oregon Police Chief Richard Stager bid city officials goodbye at a council meeting on Jan. 24.
Other than skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men.
The "wrestling moms" saw fundraisers being done by basketball, volleyball, and soccer teams for cancer awareness, so they wanted to get in on the action.
It's taken four months of building relationships, but City of Toledo Deputy Mayor Dean Monske believes the pending purchase of The Docks riverfront restaurant complex by the Chinese development firm Dashing Pacific Group, LLC is only the beginning.
Monske believes this same company could be the one that develops the 127-acre Marina District in East Toledo.
The Chinese company has signed an agreement to purchase The Docks for $2.15 million. The matter will go in front of city council, which has to approve the transaction before the sale can be closed.
Councilman Mike Craig expects discussion to begin next week and a vote in about two weeks.
"I think it's a good thing," Craig said. "I think most everybody on council is supportive. We've got somebody interested in our riverfront and in our city. Banks aren't letting loose of any cash and we really need the investment in Toledo. I think at least one of the restaurant pads will be filled by the summer."
Oregon City Council last week approved the purchase of a new camera system that will be used to inspect sewer and water lines. The equipment will help the city in its investigation of inflow and infiltration (I&I) issues to reduce or eliminate excessive storm water from the wastewater collection system.

Surgical intervention is required after the patient is medically stabilized and is recommended as soon as possible.15 Delayed surgery increases the potential for gastric wall edema and necrosis and venous stasis, especially if the stomach
is rotated 360 degrees. If the surgery is delayed, cardiac arrhythmias can develop. Most dogs that have arrhythmias develop
them within 36 hours after the gastric dilatation episode.
The purpose of this surgery is to derotate the stomach, evaluate the stomach wall and spleen for ischemic injury, and perform
a gastropexy.
To begin the surgery, place the dog in dorsal recumbency, and perform a midline celiotomy. The surgeon should stay on the
dog's right side. Upon opening the abdominal cavity, omentum will be covering the stomach, which confirms the GDV diagnosis.
The stomach can be decompressed again before derotation with a large orogastric tube. After identifying the pylorus and the
fundus, grasp the pylorus with your right hand and pull it ventrally toward the abdominal incision while pushing the fundus
dorsally into the abdominal cavity with your left hand.
The spleen follows the motion of the stomach. If splenic torsion is present, perform a splenectomy without untwisting the
vascular pedicle.
After derotation, evaluate the stomach and spleen for ischemic injuries. Usually, the spleen shows signs of venous congestion
that resorbs quickly after derotation of the stomach. Splenectomy is indicated if thrombosis of the splenic artery is present.
If the body of the stomach along the greater curvature of the stomach wall is necrotic, a gastrectomy is required. Two options
are available: gastrectomy with either traditional suture technique or stapling suture.
Pack the stomach off from the abdominal cavity with moistened laparotomy sponges. Retract the healthy stomach with stay sutures
to prevent gastric spillage.
After gastrectomy, a gastropexy is required to stabilize the pyloric antrum on the right side of the abdominal cavity. Gastropexy
substantially decreases the chance of recurrence—after a gastropexy, dogs can still dilate their stomachs but not rotate them.
A belt-loop gastropexy and an incisional gastropexy are the two techniques most commonly performed (see Skills Laboratory: Performing a belt-loop gastropexy). The modified incisional gastropexy with incorporation of the body of the stomach in the midline closure is not appropriate
since it does not stabilize the pyloric antrum in the right side of the abdomen.
If needed, a splenectomy is performed in a routine fashion. The abdominal cavity is then flushed with warm sterile saline
solution and closed in a routine fashion.

Minneapolis, MI, 22-OCT-2011: Dr. Charles Strauman, Minneapolis chiropractor, Provides members of the community who are suffering from injuries suffered in car accidents with the relief they seek safely and effectively. The doctor uses a "whole body" approach that incorporates therapies that are designed to help people continue to function with minimum pain while their body heals.
When interviewed recently, Dr. Strauman stated, "I encourage people who are involved in an auto accident to visit me as soon as possible after the incident. By seeing me before pain, swelling and stiffness begin, we can often address the injury before it causes debilitating pain. I work closely with my patients to make sure that all areas of the body that have been affected by the injury are addressed So that the body can heal effectively and the patient can resume their normal activities more quickly. "
An injured individual is given a complete physical examination and x-rays are taken to identify misalignments or other injuries in the spine and neck. The doctor will discuss any previous injuries that may have occurred and past medical history. In addition, Dr. Strauman will ask for details about the accident and areas of the body that may have been injured in the accident.
After analyzing the data collected, Dr. Strauman will create a plan that addresses the immediate pain, swelling, and inflammation. He will use gentle, low-force manipulation to realign discs and relieve pressure from nerves that have been pinched. In addition, he wants to use hot / cold therapy, massage and other therapies to reduce swelling and improve circulation in the tissues surrounding the injured areas.
To get more information about the methods used by Dr. Charles Strauman, Minneapolis chiropractor, to help community members injured in auto accidents visit http://www.Holistic-Health-Care.com today.
