Tech drive
Investment in each of these centres will be around Rs 200 crore, and they will have capacity to house around 11,000 employees.
Chennai , Oct. 29
Hexaware Technologies Ltd is setting up three campuses (all special economic zones) in Chennai, Pune and Mumbai. Investment in each of these centres will be around Rs 200 crore, and they will have capacity to house around 11,000 employees, according to Mr Atul Nishar, Founder and Chairman, Hexaware.
Speaking to newspersons on the sidelines of the company's Tech Summit 2006, Mr Nishar said the first phase of the Chennai campus at Siruseri on the Old Mahabalipuram Road (IT corridor) would be ready by July.
The company acquired around 25 acres of land in the Hinjewadi IT Park (SEZ), Pune, to set up its next campus and recently acquired 14 acres of land in Airoli in Navi Mumbai, he said.
According to Mr Nishar, the physical infrastructure expansion would help the company achieve the "vision of $1 billion in revenue and become a large, tier I IT player. I cannot give you a timeframe," he said. For the current fiscal, the company was likely to post revenues of $185 million (around Rs 800 crore), he said.
Hexaware manages large IT applications in real time and provides services on packaged enterprise applications such as SAP and PeopleSoft.
Its clients include 40 Fortune 500 companies in sectors such as banking, financial services, insurance, leasing, transportation and human resources.
Innovation labs
Hexaware is setting up innovation labs in Chennai and Pune to identify possible problems that customers would face, and provide suggestions, according to Mr P.K. Sridharan, Executive Director and President, India operations, Hexaware.
Global expansion
Mr Nishar said the company plans to set up centres in Mexico, China and East Europe. The Mexico centre would be set up in a short time, while the East European centre would come up in mid-2007 and the China centre in 18 months.

DURHAM — With only mail and absentee ballots left to count in the race for Durham county commissioner, the five Democrats nominated in the May primary handily defeated independent challenger Omar Beasley. Results remain unofficial until certified by the Board of Elections next week.
Brenda Howerton won a second term on the county board, leading the six-candidate field with 18.89 percent of the vote
"I'm excited and thankful to the voters for their trust, and I look forward to serving them for another four years," said Howerton, who watched returns come in at a supporter's home.
Wendy Jacobs, in her first campaign for elective office, finished slightly behind Howerton with 18.84 percent.
Michael Page, the commissioners' current chairman, ran fifth in the primary but finished in third place Tuesday with 18.66 percent. Incumbent Ellen Reckhow had 18.58 percent and newcomer Fred Foster won the fifth seat with 18.13.
Beasley, a bail bondsman and volunteer track coach, brought up the rear with 6.89 percent.
Although he is a registered Democrat, Beasley ran as an independent candidate and collected more than 7,000 signatures on a petition last summer to gain a place on the general-election ballot. His presence there created a degree of drama for a contest that appeared to have been settled in the primary, since no Republicans filed for election.
In his first try for elective office, Beasley won endorsement by the Friends of Durham and the Durham Committee on the Affairs of Black People.
The Durham Committee had endorsed Foster in the spring. Its other endorsements went to Howerton and Page. The Friends of Durham also endorsed Howerton and Page, as well as Reckhow.
Durham's third major political-action committee, the Durham People's Alliance, endorsed Foster, Jacobs and Reckhow.
Campaigning during early voting was so heated that the Durham County Board of Elections asked candidates and their supporters to attend a meeting on civility. Twice, police were called to eject campaign workers from voting sites; one of those incidents involved a Beasley worker and a Democratic Party campaigner.
The five winners begin their terms Dec. 3.

Arachnids - Spiders of Latim America
Spiders, habitats, locations, habits, danger.
Some Spiders of Latin America
Central and South America have their share of spiders, arachnids, ranging from the world's smallest to the world's largest, with a wide variety in between.
Biggest Spider; Goliath bird-eating spider
"These spiders are a sub-species of tarantula, which are the largest spiders in the animal kingdom. The biggest goliath spider on record had a legspan that measured just over 11 inches across! That's big enough to cover a dinner plate."
Brazilian Wandering Spider Care Sheet
"Brazilian Wandering Spiders are extremely fast, extremely venomous, and extremely aggressive. These large and dangerous true spiders are ranked among the most venomous spiders known to man. In fact, the Brazilian Wandering Spider is the most venomous spider in the New World!"
Fishing Spider from Ecuador
This pisaurid fishing spider from Ecuador displays a characteristic curved row of posterior eyes.
Poisonous Brazilian Spiders
Phoneutria - "Armed Spider", "Banana Spider", "Wandering Spiders", "South American Wandering Spider". The name "Banana Spider" was given because it usually found in banana trees, banana bunches and there have been cases where these spiders unintentionally appeared on banana boats heading for the United States and Europe.
Recluse Spiders
"The family consists not only of the recluse spiders, but also of the six-eyed crab spiders, genus Sicarius, of Central and South America, and South Africa."
Description of several spiders from Central and South America that have emigrated to other countries.
Venomous Spiders / poisonous spiders
Venomous Spiders (poisonous spiders) may not be such a big threat as many people believe. Antivenin against spider bite has become very effective and it's very seldom people actually dies from spider bites.
What is a Banana Spider?
"The phoneutria or South American banana spider is a large, aggressive spider with a body length of about 1.3" (3 cm). This banana spider primarily makes its home in the rain forests but can also be found in cities, where, between 1970 and 1980 it was reportedly responsible for the hospitalization of some 7,000 people in southeastern Brazil. "
Widow spider
'The widow spiders are members of the spider genus Latrodectus, in the family Theridiidae. Latrodectus includes approximately 31 recognized venomous species, with the black widow spider (Latrodectus mactans) being the best known member of the group." Known by different names in South America.

If you're a parent, chances are you've heard of Common Core.
Forty-five states are working to implement a new set of educational standards to measure student development, including Florida.
While Common Core had the governor's support; he's backing off a bit now.
Anne Schorle maps out her students lessons on the wall. It is part of the Common Core State Standards she's been following for the past two years in her first grade classroom at Sunshine Elementary in Lehigh Acres.
"I feel like it's not just a piece here and a piece there," she explained. "I feel like we can take the curriculum and we can blend it better."
Every grade level in Florida will follow the standards next school year.
Common Core focuses on getting students to think critically instead of memorizing - better preparing them for careers or college.
"It's a more conceptual and analytical kind of thinking than what we've done in the past which requires teachers to engage students in a way they've never been engaged before," said Pam Craig, with the Florida Department of Education.
Now the governor wants to change the way Florida measures student achievement. Monday he rejected the nationwide assessment; ordering Florida to find a different way to test student success.
That doesn't have the Lee County schools superintendent too worried.
"We created this environment where it was all about the test rather than the standards, and I'm desperate to avoid repeating that with Common Core," Dr. Nancy Graham told school board members at a workshop Tuesday afternoon.
The state department of education will hold public hearings on the new standards next month to see if they need any tweaks.
Lee County leaders say this might slow down the implementation process, but they'll follow the state's lead.
Schorle hopes for some consistency. Saying, "If we're changing things in two years, we're kind of taking a step back."
Common Core has come under increasing fire from conservative groups such as the Tea Party.
Last week former governor Jeb Bush, a Common Core supporter, implored elected leaders to rise above the politics.

UO Spirit
I think I've got it. How about you?
In a letter to the editor, responding to some comments in this space in the Summer issue, John Vazbys '57 of Mahwah, New Jersey, challenged me to define UO spirit. I, in turn, asked for some help from readers. I got two responses. Not a high percentage of our readership, but the responses were intriguing in their extremely different approaches.
Robert Napier '60 of Nogales, Arizona, was short and sweet in his response, which addresses the specific question of how UO spirit differs from "the spirit felt by an Oregon State University alum." Napier writes: "I was reminded of the answer from Louis
Armstrong when a reporter asked him how you define jazz. He said, 'Man, if you have to ask, you'll never know.'"
There is some truth to that. Like jazz, like love and creativity and beauty, spirit is more easily experienced than described. And this sort of school spirit is an insiders' affair. We know, we tell each other, with winks and nods and conspiratorial smiles. But that response still evades the point of Vazbys' question, which was to pin us down to an actual definition.
Compared to Napier's sixty-five words, Joy McAlpine McDowell '68 of Springfield sent us more than a thousand. And her answer is as specific as Napier's was brief. She refers to the actions of Arthur S. Flemming, who was president of the University from 1961 to 1968, when she was selecting a college and then, later, attending the UO. Flemming, a Republican who served in the administrations of presidents Eisenhower and Nixon, incurred the wrath of the Left for allowing someone from the John Birch Society (an ultraconservative organization that was at its peak in the 1960s) to speak on campus and the ire of the Right when he allowed a leader of the Communist Party USA to come to the UO. The president of Oregon State was among those who said he would refuse permission for a communist to speak on campus, according to McDowell.
"Right there was a distinction worth noting for a young mind in search of a place to obtain a higher education," McDowell writes. "Oregon State University would decide for me what I could or could not hear. The University of Oregon had faith in me to listen and learn from even a controversial speaker."
And it was Flemming who spoke at McDowell's graduation in June 1968. Two months after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and just days after Senator Robert
Kennedy had been killed, the atmosphere on campus and around the country was tense. One might expect a university president—a Republican, no less—to urge caution among the graduating students who were very much in the middle of the maelstrom.
But, no. "Don't play it safe," Fleming told McDowell's class.
"Having a faculty and an administration who defended my right to think for myself blew my mind," she writes.
I think she's on to something. The UO spirit is about not playing it safe, breaking type, learning how to think for ourselves, getting the hell out of whatever box somebody else thinks we should fit in. It's Aloura DiGiallonardo finding her way to an international studies major—for now, at least—from the thirteen she was considering (page 16). It's Watermelon Slim driving truck and writing a Ph.D. thesis on rightwing terrorism (page 22). It's Marilyn Krysl forcing herself out of the academic bubble to give her writing more grit (page 36).
I don't always take the road less traveled. But that "Don't play it safe" voice (not Flemming's, who was before my time here, but that of the UO legacy he inherited and furthered) is always there to push me places I wouldn't otherwise go. Sometimes I thrive; sometimes I fall. But it's always good for me to get my mind blown now and then.

• denotes letters not published in the magazineWell Preserved
Thank you for your article on land trusts ["Puzzle Pieces," Autumn 2009]. It reminded me of many pleasant times I have had in the outdoors of Oregon. I was in the fifth grade in McKenzie Bridge and remember the Drurys. I fished the McKenzie River and climbed to the local lookouts. The Rimrock Ranch bit reminded me of the magnificence of the whole southeastern Oregon high desert country. I have a special interest in the Malheur Lake preserve as my uncle Harry Telford helped to get it established and was its first warden. (He was fired because he had the temerity to arrest a congressman who shot a brace of illegal birds.) It is wonderful that these things are being preserved.
Nathen P. Edwards '44
Willow Street, Pennsylvania
• A fun addition to your good article about Oregon land trusts ["Puzzle Pieces"]: Early in 2000, I was alerted to a planned subdivision for sale surrounding Mosier Waterfall, one of the last unprotected waterfalls in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area. Columbia Land Trust acted quickly to acquire an option for the property, giving the Trust time to raise the money to conserve the property, and the falls. The Land Trust was successful in raising nearly all of the funds that were needed, but as the transaction came down to the wire, we were short the Land Trust's required match, which could come in the form of cash or donated land. Without that match, the entire transaction would fall apart.
While reviewing property ownership records, I noticed that the landowner upstream of the falls had a familiar name: David (and LaVonne) Povey. Could this be the same David Povey who was my professor in Urban and Regional Planning at the U of O? Sure enough it was. After reacquainting ourselves and reviewing our waterfall project, David didn't even hesitate. Within a few months he and LaVonne had gifted the land, allowing us to meet our matching requirements, securing all of the funding, and allowing the transaction to be completed.
Today, Mosier Waterfall is another protected gem in the Columbia Gorge National Scenic Area, thanks to a University of Oregon professor who practiced what he preached.
Glenn Lamb, M.U.P. '88
Editor's note: The writer is executive director of the Columbia Land Trust.
I enjoyed the article on Joe Gordon ["Duck in the Hall," Autumn 2009]. My father, Walter J. Gray Jr. was in the Sigma Chi house with Joe while both attended the UO. Joe was an "all around" athlete, and the New York Yankees selected him as a "future" draft pick. According to my father, the Yankees paid Joe $100 a month not to play football in college. This was a substantial sum in the Depression era, and this made Joe even more popular with the brothers, I'm sure. I met him while I was in my brief Little League period, and played ball with a signed Joe Gordon glove.
Michael Gray '63
• I read the note in recent Oregon Quarterly about Joe Gordon with much interest. He and I attended the UO about the same time. We were lab partners in, I think, chemistry so knew each other but not as close friends.
After finishing school, I moved to the New York area, arriving at about the time Joe joined the Newark team of the old International League, which was a Yankee farm team. Shortly, he moved to the Yankees. I followed his career with interest but never tried to contact him. He was involved in many feats, but the one I especially remember was what going to be a routine double play, short to second to first. Joe caught the ball all right, but his throw to first instead hit the second base umpire in the face, who acknowledged he was out of position and suffered a broken bone or two. The runner made it to first, of course, but I believe he did not score
Bill Connell '36
• What a wonderful write-up on Joe Gordon—a great ballplayer and person of good heart. I may be the only living Duck who saw Joe Gordon playing second base for the Yankees against the Detroit Tigers in a doubleheader in 1945. I was visiting Staten Island, New York, from my home in Emporia, Kansas, when a cousin and I took the ferry over to New York City for the game. He kept score for the games, and I still have the score card plus two small wooden bats signed by Joe and outfielder Charlie Keller. In 1947, I arrived in Eugene at the railroad station and my aunt drove down Willamette—what a surprise to see the Joe Gordon Hardware Store.

Joy and Laughter
• It was a pleasure to read "A Duck in the Hall" to lead of the Autumn issue of Oregon Quarterly. Soon, my joy was heightened as I read "Thank You, Sir, May I Have Another" [UpFront]. I was a frosh in the fall of 1977 and was one of countless students that waited for the release of this landmark cinema effort, Animal House. It was a wait well rewarded, and only enhanced by my personal connection with a fellow student that had a bit part. I had no idea where or for how long I would catch sight of a classmate of mine from a German language class. This student had arrived at class one day, sporting a new hairdo that would have made any Marine recruit proud. We, as a class, were kept informed of his involvement and given insight as to his participation. So it was with great laughter, as I witnessed one Martin Klammer (later a roommate) on his knees in a rigid pose. I knew of his embarrassment, to be captured only in his undies (or not his, as pointed out). It was a bigger laugh, as later Playboy used this scene as the only still in a feature story about Animal House. Thanks for the reflection Marty and for allowing me to have a connection to the greatest movie made at the U of O in the fall of 1977.
Robbie J Osborn '81
Reading the first line of ["Life in Fast Lane," UpFront, Autumn 2009] was motivation enough to generate a comment from any reasonable citizen who ever took a drink of bottled water or typed a rebuttal on their computer; that first line reads "The freedom, the power, the speed—cars are so cool. At the same time, these modern wonders accounted for the deaths of some thirty million people in the twentieth century . . ."
Dr. Brian Ladd's book, titled How Cars Conquered Our Cities [excerpted in the article], caters to Luddite concerns that the world is going to hell in a hand basket owing to dreaded advances in technology. These Luddites cling to the old ways like babies to bottles and gladly let the world speed on by. Of course, technology has risks to the old order, yet nearly all of Western civilization embraces technological advances while technophobes shun them. A dramatic statistic like that in that first paragraph depicting mass death because of a technology widely adopted by the world is misleading. The stat itself may be accurate, but the suggestion that the technology is suspect is pure nonsense.
If Dr. Ladd were to be fair about this discussion, he would also include in the 30,000,000 death statistic just how many miles were driven by how many people during that stretch, and calculate a "death per mile driven" statistic. Given that statistic, he would subsequently weigh in how much wealth was created, how many additional human births were made possible, and how significantly improved the general quality of life for humanity was owing to the adoption of the automobile over that span. Finally, I would enjoy seeing Dr. Ladd's estimates of the world's lower wealth, diminished population, and shoddier quality of life had the automobile never seen the light of day, rather than lament how many deaths occurred because of it.
Pointing out the negatives of technology makes for fascinating reading, but does nothing to educate anyone as to the reality of the world; advances in technology are what humans strive for, our ability to advance technology is what takes us to the top of the food chain. Using Dr. Ladd's logic, it could have happened millennia ago that wise cavemen historians bemoaned the invention of lumber that took their little cave boys and cave girls away from the cave, thus diminishing the morally superior Neanderthal way of life. Their beloved progeny, spurning the old ways were off to parts unknown to build fancy-schmancy wood huts, and these wise Luddite caveman cited the number of times during construction of these evil structures, that a piece of timber fell on someone's foot causing infection and subsequent death, or of some paleo-carpenters hitting their thumbs with a hammer, causing untold suffering and misery for mankind. And don't get them started on the pure evil of 'hammers' . . . .
Sure, Dr. Ladd has a Ph.D. from Yale and has provided gobs of quotations from the likes of Musil and Proust to dress up his article, while I am just a dunce alum from the University of Oregon who wrote this piece in about an hour, the obvious must be pointed out: his premise that technology cuts both ways and that we should seriously consider tempering our lust for its advance lest we suffer its insidious consequences is simply ludicrous on its face.
In keeping in the spirit of Dr. Brian Ladd's article, I too can pull a quote from an important historical figure to fortify my point of view: "If you come to a fork in the road, take it" – Yogi Berra.

Jim Klonoski
Rita Radostitz's remembrance of Jim Klonoski ["Deep Questions and Gored Oxes," Autumn 2009] was right on the mark. For this political science graduate, the groundwork was laid in Professor Klonoski's American Government class in the fall of 1965. With wit, wisdom, and critical analysis, Klonoski challenged students to think before they spoke or wrote. Along with professors James Davies, Daniel Goodrich, and Thomas Hovet, Klonoski's lessons and example are with me today.
Gunnar Lundberg '69
San Francisco, California
What a difference fifty years makes. Back before red state–blue state and the extreme partisanship that occupies our political landscape, it was a totally different time. I don't remember any of my polysci professors being political partisans. The views they expressed seemed to be more from a scholarly rather than a partisan perspective.
Rita Radostitz's article disabused me of the notion that that still might be the case at the UO. Radostitz believes that, even though Klonoski was chair of the Oregon Democratic Party, he was able to teach "all sides of the issues." Of course, Radostitz shared his political leanings. Not an unbiased view.
The bigger question is how the UO could have employed Klonoski as a professor of political science given his obvious political bias. Under the best of circumstances, I believe Klonoski would have had a difficult time presenting a truly objective and balanced approach to his course teachings.
Will the extreme political partisanship in the nation ever subside? Not likely if schools like the UO continue to hire political partisans like Klonoski to teach our college students.
George D. Brandt '59
Oakton, Virginia
• Rita Radostitz responds: One of my fondest memories of Professor Klonoski was the year he taught a class called "Mock Republican Convention." (It was 1979—he thought the Democratic primary was less interesting than the Republican one that year.) He persuaded me to 'run' for the (mock) chair of the Republican Party—which I did, and won. Many students in the class were Republicans in "real" life, and we argued the issues with gusto. It was a fine learning experience and one that helped hone my skills at political discourse. An amusing side note is that after the mock convention, I started getting mailings from the local Republican Party. A few months later, when President H.W. Bush came to campus, I received an invitation to a private meeting with him, which, with Professor Klonoski's encouragement, I attended. It was a great opportunity, and that meeting helped me appreciate President Bush as a person. I disagreed with his policies, but I was truly impressed with his personal kindness. Obviously, I think George Brandt is wrong about Professor Klonoski's ability to teach many sides of political issues. I find the vitriolic partisanship of some recent elections distasteful, and I think Professor Klonoski probably did too.
• I read with sadness of Professor James Klonoski's passing ["Deep Questions, Gored Oxes"]. I was a student in his The Presidency and The Supreme Court classes as an upperclassman. My only regret is that I didn't take the American Government class from him. Unlike Rita Radostitz, I could never summon the courage in his class to respond to his withering questions, but, nevertheless. I admired, indeed I was enthralled by, his "take no prisoners" lecture style. Outside of class, I patterned my own political oratory after his in-class intensity. Thank you, Jim, even though you never knew me (although he did give me a B in both classes) for being a political role model.
Lloyd Meyer '77
• The 2009 Summer edition has a very nice article about the career of Dave Frohnmayer ["Uncommon Good"]. It covers most of his dedication to public service, but for those of us who have known him most of our lives, that's just the tip of his life's experiences.
After graduation from the UO in '49 and several employment experiences, I settled into my life's career in the distribution and manufacturing of heavy construction, logging, and mining equipment. My first assignment was in southern Oregon, living in Medford from 1955 to 1960. Having played music all of our lives, we were acquainted with educators in that field. John Drysdale, retired music director for Medford High, shared many stories of Dave and John as musical students. The Frohnmayer family has therefore had a long, long exposure to musical performance, Forty years after the Medford days, we enjoyed the days when Dave and John would sing and play duets of the "Tent Show" at the early Dorchester Conferences in Lincoln City and Seaside. It is very understandable to me how they have contributed so much to the Oregon music school.
As past members of the Order of the Emerald, Alumni Association, and the Oregon Alumni Band, we have followed closely Dave's years a president of the University. We believe he has been a big time contributor to society as a whole.
We are most appreciative of the dedication he and Lynn have given to the University, state of Oregon, and the nation.
But, without a doubt, the triumph of their careers must be attached to the formation and guidance they contributed to the Fanconi Anemia research operation.
We are pleased to be supporters, although minor, and have them as friends.

March is National Women's History Month, and Patch is teaming up with the Gilroy Historical Society and the Gilroy Museum to bring some amazing local women to the forefront. Throughout the month, we'll look at women from all walks of life who made a difference despite of the oppression facing them.
Today, we're featuring Caroline Amelia Brooks Osborne Hoxett, 1840-1927, who helped form the Rebekah Children's Services center in Gilroy and made several contributions—that remain around Gilroy to this day—to the city through donations.
Caroline was very active in the Rebekahs and other civic organizations. As state president of the Rebekahs, she was instrumental in choosing the location for the children's home and donating both land and money to build the 1898 building and then its replacement building in 1921.
Caroline was born in Ohio and came to California via Panama in 1858 with her first husband.
After her husband's death, she remarried, settling down with Thomas Hoxett who was a baker in Placerville. The pair had a daughter named Ada and the family moved to Gilroy in 1868 and built the Italianate Victorian home at 338 Fifth Street.
Caroline became a rich widow after her husband died in the 1880s and left her with $40,000, which she used to build the homeless shelter for children, and continued to make good use of her money through donations. She bought and donated the tennis court on Fifth and Church streets for Gilroy's new library in 1910, and also purchased the clock for the old city hall in 1912.
She died at her Fifth Street home in 1927, leaving it to the Gilroy Women's Civic Club.

Nokia to firm up plant location by next month
Our Bureau
Mr Sanjay Behl, Head-Marketing (Customer and Market Operations), Nokia India Private Ltd, at the inauguration of the company's First Concept Store in Bangalore on Friday. G.R.N. Somashekar
Bangalore , March 4
MOBILE phone maker Nokia expects to decide on the location of its manufacturing facility in India by next month even as it plans to reduce prices of its handsets.
Nokia's head for marketing, Mr Sanjay Behl, told newspersons on the sidelines of the launch of Nokia's first concept store in the country in Bangalore, that the new facility is expected to start operations by the end of the year. He said the company is currently working on its plan to pass on the benefit of duty cuts to the customers. "We will pass on whatever benefits (to the customers) the Budget has given," Mr Behl said.
Mr Behl said Nokia could also start exporting to other Asian countries from its new facility in India. Nokia has increased its market share in India to 68 per cent from 56 per cent during the last 12 months.
Mr Behl said the concept store, some of which have been set up in European countries, features the full range of Nokia products. "We are keen to lead a unique mobile retailing experience for the consumers through these touch points," Mr Behl said.
All the products displayed at the concept store will be fully functional to enable consumers to try out the newest applications of the phones from Nokia. The layout and design of the store follows the same pattern as Nokia concept store around the world. Nokia will launch its second concept store in Delhi in another four months. Subsequently, all the tier-I cities in India will have at least one concept store, Mr Behl said.

In addition to the settlers, there are a few extra people staying in Shilo on this day. They are Christian volunteers from the U.S. who have spent the morning pruning the grape vines. Now, with a winter storm beating down on the hills, the volunteers are stomping with their mud-splattered boots and North Face rain gear.

So what does Utah's top education official think of all this, with just two days left in the session? Jeff Robinson sat down with State Superintendent Larry Shumway at his office in Salt Lake City.

American values target of terrorism
Exactly 11 years after the September 11th attacks, the tragic and troubling events in Libya and the greater Middle East are a reminder that freedom and American values remain a target for violent extremists.
Parental growing pains
Over 37 years ago my parents stood in a tiny room in the back of a church with my wife-to-be just minutes before she was to walk down the aisle to join me in saying "I do." It was a joyful moment of pre-marital bliss, for my wife-to-be, that is.
Keeping up appearances
If you own a business or a building on Main Street, when was the last time you came in through the front door? Most business owners know the importance of parking in the back, but once in a while, it is necessary for a proprietor to get the same perspective as the customer.
National debt tops $16 trillion
On September 4, the United States economy reached the latest in a long succession of troubling milestones when our national debt topped $16 trillion for the first time in history. Just as alarming as the staggering magnitude of the debt is the fact that we didn't arrive at this level gradually.
Failed energy policy equals high gas
The media may no longer be paying attention to gas prices, but the American people are fully aware that fuel costs are on the rise again. The $3.72 national average gas price recorded on August 20 was the highest ever observed on that date. Prices have risen 9 percent over the past few months, making 2012 the most expensive year ever for drivers. According to USA Today, industry experts predict average prices could rise as high as $3.90 and remain above $3.00 even into autumn.
The whole universe was in a hot dense state
Those who know me best can assess the truth of the statement that I am a little bit obsessive. A psychiatrist of my acquaintance says, "Of course you are obsessive. You have a PhD." (I number several psychologist/psychiatrist among my friends; I think they like to study me.) His point is that anyone who spends a lot of time studying about a single topic with such intensity is not "normal" some ways.
Getting rid of 'stuff' is painful chore
I've never thought of myself as a materialistic person, but I have been appalled at all the things I have accumulated in the course of a lifetime. Following an attack of Guillian Barre', an auto immune disease of the extremities, and six weeks of hospitalization at Hot Springs, Ark., we realized I could no longer live alone, and I moved into a one-bedroom apartment at Baptist Village.
One step closer to tax reform
'One day after voting to prevent a massive tax hike from hitting small businesses and families, House Republicans also took action to reform the entire tax code. It's not just high tax rates that discourage businesses from growing. The very structure of the tax system is so complex, inefficient, and unfair that the United States is becoming one of the worst places to do business in the developed world.
An Okie nav system
Back in the day before I had a GPS, I had a Jean-PS. That is to say, my wife, Jean, would position us on our way. Back in those days, my car was a Ford F-100 pickup truck without any air conditioning other than our rolled-down windows.

Travel inspiration in Strasbourg and Stuttgart
Strasbourg, the capital of Christmas
Strasbourg is the largest city of the Alsace region in France. Its old town centre known as the Grand Ile is nowadays a listed and protected UNESCO world heritage site where one can see its timber-framed houses, colourful window shutters and multi-storey steeply angled gables. Strasbourg is world known for its Christmas market, the biggest in Europe and one of the most imposing in the world. Inside the city itself, with its 12 Christmas markets spots, Strasbourg invites you to a pleasing stroll. Strasbourg is also home to the European Parliament, Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights.
Stuttgart, nature lovers will love this city!
Get used to the local Schwäbisch German dialect and mounds of tiny Spätzle dumplings in industrial Stuttgart, birthplace of the motorbike. Cycle along the vineyard-lined River Neckar then crank it up a gear at the Mercedes-Benz factory.

Louis D. Brandeis School of Law Orientation Community Service Day
Each year, Louisville's law school community plans and participates in a day of collective public service. The initiative, which was launched on April 5, 2008, arose from the student body's input into the university's strategic planning process. The purpose of this event is to highlight the law school's commitment to community service, provide significant services, have fun, and make new acquaintances.

Next up on the Easter basket book round-up is a funny bunny favorite likely to be enjoyed by everyone – Betty Bunny Loves Chocolate Cake by Michael B. Kaplan and illustrated by Stéphane Jorisch.
Betty Bunny, like most kids, is not too eager to try new things. So when her mother brings out chocolate cake for dessert, Betty Bunny is quick to express her dislike of it even before she has a chance to try it. However, as soon as she tastes chocolate cake for the first time, Betty Bunny realizes it is the yummiest thing she has ever eaten! Her enthusiasm for chocolate cake can hardly be contained as she declares that she is "going to marry chocolate cake!" Her mother meets her incessant requests for chocolate cake by telling her that she will have to wait until she has eaten a healthy dinner to have chocolate cake. Our headstrong hare is not pleased with this response and hilarity ensues. The accompanying illustrations by Stéphane Jorisch capture the humor of the text as we watch Betty Bunny struggle with waiting to enjoy her next piece of chocolate cake. There is a lesson to be learned and hopefully our own kids pick up on it sooner than Betty Bunny does!

New owner for Cigar Co. property
A local DJ has bought the old Knoxville Cigar Company buildings, in the Old City.
Ray Adelman is co-owner of Bliss Entertainment, a local company that provides audio/visual services for everything from weddings to corporate events. Until recently, Adelman handled Saturday-night DJ duties at the nearby Southbound club (under the nom de guerre of DJ Ray Funk) and his Bliss co-owner is fellow DJ Jason Lovely.
Adelman paid $480,000 for the 6,825-square foot Cigar Company buildings, at 116 and 118 S. Central Street. Ben Kenney and George Brown, of Wood Properties, represented the seller on the deal, while Daniel Odle, of Sperry Van Ness/R.M. Moore represented the buyer.
Adelman said he plans to open a new nightspot called the The Bliss Entertainment Venue, which he described as a cross between Oodles Uncorked and Sapphire.
The main level will have a martini bar on one side and a dance floor on the other, while the upper level will be available for private parties.
This seems like a pretty good move. That block is coming back a little with the new owners in Manhattan's and Carleo's. Another interesting part of this is the space for private parties. There is suprisingly little space like that downtown - and what is there is pretty expensive.
Wine Bar in the Old City...awesome
Locals in the Old City need something new like this instead of the same old smelly and smoky Southbound
I don't know, I think having another Carleo's would be a bit over the top...seriously. Carleo's!
Congratulations DJ Ray! I know you will do a great job! I look forward to partying there soon.

Hannah Arendt
Films in Program
Heavyweight German filmmaker von Trotta turns her attention to one of the pre-eminent thinkers of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt, and in particular to the crucial time in 1961 when she reported on the trial of Nazi Adolf Eichmann for the New Yorker. It was Eichmann's pathetic disavowals of the Final Solution policy he helped frame that inspired Arendt to coin her famous phrase, "the banality of evil."
"Trotta has made an extremely vivid cinematic essay, thrilling in its every minute, deeply moving in its seriousness and suitably unsettling." Elke Schmitter, Der Spiegel
"A thrilling lesson in courage." Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
"The best movie this critic has ever seen about the life and times of a writer." Brandon Harris, Filmmaker

It's hard to think about adding "exercise" to your crazy busy schedule--I know. But I promise you have time to work out if you change the way you look at it. It's true, hitting the gym or even taking a yoga class can easily be a two-hour event. It's not easy to find a hole that big in your daily schedule, especially if you have a paying job in addition to your parenting job, or if you have kids with busy schedules of their own, or if you're doing everything solo.
So finding that time to work out boils down to two strategies: You either take the kids with you, or you look for ways to multi-task and squeeze in mini-opportunities to exercise.
Find Time to Work Out By Bringing Kids Along
- Join a gym with a child care room.
- Take a parent-child class such as karate or yoga.
- Modify your favorite workout so that your child can join in, or at least ride along.
- Set up a babysitting/workout co-op with friends (like a private version of the gym's nursery). Meet at one family's home or at a playground, and swap workout time with kid-wrangling duties.
Grab Short Chunks of Workout Time
- Try the 10-10-10 exercise plan: 10 minutes, 3 times a day.
- Walk or bike to work or school or when doing errands.
- Remember the old stand-bys: Take the stairs instead of the elevator; park at the far end of the lot; and so on.
- They play, you sweat: Walk briskly around the playground's perimeter while your kids hang out in the middle, or do lunges and squats while refereeing in the family room.
- Multitask. Do crunches, planks, or push-ups while you watch TV (or, as I used to, while you're stuck in a dark room with a kid who won't fall asleep without you nearby).

Exporting most of its product to Japan, one of the most quality-conscious markets in the world, a leading processor of boneless pork products constantly looks to maximize product quality.
Greifensee, Zurich -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/23/2010 -- Inspecting bulk-flow ground pork prior to packaging, the PowerChekPlus x-ray inspection system detects bone as well as unusual materials such as rock, glass, ceramic and metal. After the pork is packaged into 10-kg bulk bags, the PowerPhasePLUS metal detector inspects the product, assuring the highest sensitivity to detect the smallest amounts of metal including ferrous and non-ferrous, stainless steel and wire contaminants.
The PowerChekPlus x-ray inspection system features an innovative auto-learn capability, which makes set-up automatic and frequent calibration unnecessary. The system automatically analyzes product variations to continuously achieve optimum sensitivity throughout production, which helps eliminate false rejects.
"We've adopted the Japanese 'kaizen' philosophy, in which we seek continuous improvement. As a result, we have more quality inspection stations than you would typically find in a food processing plant," noted the general manager of the pork processing company. "The combination of x-ray inspection and metal detection gives us a comprehensive appraisal of the product. We want to detect the broadest range of potential problems and the smallest possible contaminants to maximize food safety and product quality."
"Prior to selecting the inspection equipment, we considered x-ray systems from four different suppliers and metal detectors from three different suppliers. We kept coming back to METTLER TOLEDO SAFELINE as the premium standard in the industry. They have the best reputation for both equipment and service," said the general manager.
"We measure success on the x-ray system and the metal detector based on consistent detection sensitivity, lack of downtime and ease of use," noted the general manager. "Since we installed these two systems, we have not had a single hiccup. Detection sensitivity has exceeded our expectations and we've had no problems with unplanned downtime. The color touch screen is easy to learn and easy to use. And the user interface is available in just about any language."
Both the PowerChekPlus x-ray system and the PowerPhasePLUS metal detector are NEMA 4X rated to withstand harsh washdown environments. "The SAFELINE systems beat everything we've ever had, hands down. Both systems take our washdown without a problem," said the general manager.

58% of the CEO
Glenn J. Chamandy
"Excellent environment to learn"
Pros – Truly international company, excellent place to learn, enjoy working in a fast-paced environment.
Cons – Company has grown very quickly and some of the work processes still have some catching up to do.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
Pros – The only positive about this company is that they pay you.
Cons – Poor ethics and poor morals. They do a horrible job running their business and they treat employees like crap.
Advice to Senior Management – Change your ethical practice. Poor job running the company.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
"A grown-up family business with obviously inadequate staff"
Pros – I think the only thing I like is the office location!
Cons – Where to start? I have joined 1 year ago and I can't believe I am still there. I should have refused the offer since I was so unimpressed by the whole hiring process, started with the HR manager not having read my Resume and making me feel inadequate (why did she call me for an interview then?) and then making a low-ball offer a few days afterward which was increased by 20% upon my obvious counteroffer (hint, hint! Do not take right away their first offer!).
When joined I stayed without a workstation for 15 days, and working in IT you may understand what handicap that is. Basically I was paid to do nothing for 2 weeks.
When fully setup I understood quickly the mess I ended up into. The company has grown too fast and their processes are frankly slightly above of non-existing. The worst part is that the management does not fully realize what that means and think that as long as profit comes the company is doing well (I witnessed this way of thinking from the beginning and it has not changed so far). It shows how management is composed by non-trained people who have no long-term vision at all. How those are selected into key position is no mystery once you understand that this company is manager as a family business. Quick and dirty style. Grab and go.
One of the most pathetic areas is the e-commerce site (for the US market) which is a joke. Fortunately we deal with low-cost merchandise, so customers expectations are luckily low.
Frequent overtime is requested to cope with unreasonable request or expectations from incompetent managers. Politics take you a long way in this environment, like in many other companies based in QC, unfortunately (and I am a french Canadian: I just do not like to hide my head under the ground).
I have been on the look to move away for a while and I am glad I am signing a new contract soon. I definitely do not recommend this company to anyone.
Advice to Senior Management – Remove incompetent personnel from all areas, from HR to upper management. Unfortunately presently those are the ones setting the bar so low for the company. Productive, optimistic employee are frustrated and all on the look to move away. Do not settle for this mediocrity: the company can do much, much better than this and profits are now only a fraction of what they can be.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"Bought us and closed us"
Pros – didn't get to know them, short time with them
Cons – did't have a chance to know
Advice to Senior Management – Think of the people working there.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
1 person found this helpful
"Ok Place"
Pros – Living in Charleston is great
Cons – Management needs to listen to employees
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"opportunities but somewhat difficult/challenging environment"
Pros – good manufacturing process, responsible to environment at manufacturing sites
Cons – difficulties transitioning to new class of trade
Advice to Senior Management – need to look long-term, understand that not all accounts are run the same
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Effective Administration of all mechanical technical and human resource of the production floor"
Pros – Multinational company with grey benefits and growth opportunities
Cons – long working hours. Plants run 24/7
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"A solid, international company to gain experience dealing with large retailers"
Pros – The Charleston location of Gildan puts you in one of the best cities in the countries. The job is a secure one and they offer decent benefits.
Cons – The is little room for career advancement and no performance incentives. The Charleston location has recently consolidated and acquired a new brand, so the company culture is not defined yet.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
1 person found this helpful
"A learning experience day in and out, good or bad."
Pros – Weekends off most of the year, unlimited over-time when available, three shifts to choose from, friendly team leaders and supervisors.
Cons – Hours get cut like gang busters, a high school-esque atmosphere
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Growing company allows for a positive working experience and many opportunities to enhance your skill set."
Pros – - strong ethical values
- great CEO
- intelligent executives
- the complex and vertically-chained orientation of the business structure allows for a challenging work experience (never boring)
Cons – - a little disorganized for its size due to its recent rapid expansion
- controls are also a little too tight for it's size, feels like a family-owned enterprise sometimes
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
