About the podcast: "Humane Talk Hosted by Tracie Hotchner"
Weekly 15-minute podcast features Wayne Pacelle
HSUS CEO Wayne Pacelle does a lot of interviews. Author and radio show host Tracie Hotchner talks to hundreds of animal experts and advocates, including Pacelle, on her two shows, Dog Talk(R) and Cat Chat(R).
Put them together, and you've got "Humane Talk, Hosted by Tracie Hotchner," a weekly podcast featuring Pacelle that appears each Friday on humanesociety.org.
In each 15-minute podcast, Pacelle and Hotchner talk about the latest issues and challenges affecting animals. Hotchner sees "Humane Talk" as a way for listeners to get to know Pacelle and the work of The HSUS in a new way.
"The HSUS's website is already filled with great information and videos," she noted, "and Wayne's blog is one of the best-read blogs around. But there's something about listening to a conversation that lets you really get to know the man who writes so passionately and eloquently about animals."
Hotchner, author of "The Dog Bible" and "The Cat Bible," is also a national radio host and producer. She launched Dog Talk (R) on National Public Radio in 2005 and won a coveted Gracie Award for "Best Entertainment/Information Show on Local Public Radio" in 2010. In 2006, she was invited to join the Martha Stewart channel of Sirius/XM Satellite Radio with Cat Chat(R) which has since gained a dedicated following. She has interviewed everyone from authors to politicians, from world-renowned veterinarians to anthrozoologists studying our relationship to animals, from responsible breeders to successful rescuers.
And she's not afraid of controversy. "I don't hesitate to ask the hard questions of anyone. I always try to challenge conventional wisdom and question authority in quest of reliable informaiton and responsible advice. I trust my listeners to make their own judgments after all segments of the animal community."
Hotchner will bring her lively interviewing style to the podcast. "I hope 'Humane Talk' listeners will come away from each podcast with good information and a deeper appreciation of who Wayne Pacelle really is. But I also want listeners to have a great time and to be motivated to help animals."

Beetles at Wicken Fen an introduction
Tony Drane , Coleoptera Recorder Wicken Fen
Wicken Fen has long been known as a good place for beetles. Since the early days of the 19th century, many notable early coleopterists, including the young Charles Darwin when he was at Cambridge, have collected the Fen's specialities. Although the earliest records are sometimes very imprecise in their localities, there are enough of them to permit comparisons between then and now.
Omer Cooper, Perkins and Tottenham drew attention to certain beetle populations which were showing change during the 1920s and 1930s. Many of the beetles that were declining then have since been found, but there are some notable exceptions. Dromius sigma, a distinctive reed carabid, has yet to be rediscovered, and while it is rash to pronounce a beetle extinct in a particular locality, it is unlikely that it still occurs on the Fen. The large black carabid Pterostichus aterrimus (RDB1 endangered), once common in the Fens, has not been found for many years. Fortunately, other reed carabids are thriving: Dromius longiceps, Demetrias imperialis, D. monostigma and the bright orange and blue Odacantha melanura. Another carabid, Panagaeus crux-major (called the Crucifix Ground Beetle) is extremely rare in Britain and classed as RDB1 Endangered. The beetle has a distinctive black cross on predominantly orange-red elytra. According to Wollaston it occurred in 'immense numbers' at Wicken in 1842. There were several records between 1900 and 1930 at Wicken, and there are specimens from this period in the Zoology Museum at Cambridge University. After this, there was only one record of a single beetle in 1951 by Mr RC Muir, but no more sightings, so the beetle was thought to be extinct, until it was re-discovered close to the visitor centre in 2008 by Stuart Warrington.
Wicken Fen remains the only site in the fenland of Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire for the rare small brown carabid, Trechus rivularis (RDB3 rare). Clearly the isolation of these fens during the draining and conversion to arable of the surrounding land has threatened the populations of the rarer species and virtually ruled out natural recolonization. Changes at Wicken, such as the taming of Adventurers' Fen during the Second World War, the encroachment of carr on open areas during the extended period of reduced management and the progressive drying of the Fen have undoubtedly led to some casualties among the beetle fauna. Some of the old species from the Fens have become nationally rare: Pterostichus aterrimus (RDBI), Chlaeius tristis (RDB2 'vulnerable'), Spercheus emarginatus (RDB1, probably extinct in Britain), Hydraena palustris (RDB2), Oberea oculata (RDBI) and Lixus paraplecticus (RDB1). It should not be surprising that they are now rare or extinct on the Fen. O. oculata, common to the collectors of old but not seen for many years, had been given up for lost when it suddenly turned up in 1984 before a non-coleopterist who photographed a specimen on sallow. There may well be a reasonable population of this attractive red and black longhorn; it is a renowned recluse, hiding under leaves or flying over the sallow and alder buckthorn. Renewed efforts are to be made to establish its status at Wicken. Lixus paraplectius, an inch-long narrow weevil, sometimes with a golden bloom in new specimens, was a Wicken speciality, and it appears on Omer Cooper and Tottenham's list of 1932. It has not been seen for many years, perhaps because one of its food plants, greater water-parsnip (Sium latifolium), has disappeared from the Fen.
Despite these fluctuations and declines the Fen still has a wonderfully rich beetle fauna. Few sights are more dramatic than the two-inch long iridescent greeny bronze cerambycid Aromia moschata, the musk beetle, flying slowly over the sallows on a hot August day, and coming down to rest on a flower. Often seen basking in the sun on flowerheads and low vegetation are the yellow and black longhorn, Strangalia maculata, the golden-bloomed grey longhorn Agapanthia villosoviridescens and the ashy grey longhorn Anaglyptus mysticus with chestnut shoulders to its elytra.
The reeds and sedges lining the lodes and dykes often have a number of the chrysomelid reed beetles (Donacia spp.) clinging to their leaves. Sometimes the dwarf willows and low vegetation can be infested with the large golden green chrysomelid Chrysolina graminis, while on the sallows occur two characteristic fen- land weevils with silvery gold scaling, Acalyptus carpini and Dorytomus salicinus. With so much water, it is perhaps not surprising that Wicken Fen supports a very rich water beetle fauna. Among the more uncommon species are Agabus undulatus (RDB2), with its characteristic orange zigzag markings across the base of the elytra, which can be met with in the Brickpits, and A. uliginosus, which occurs in the more boggy areas. All five of the spectacularly large lowland dytiscids have been found: Dytiscus circumcintus, D. circumflexus, D. dimidiatus (RDB3), D. marginalis and D. semisulcatus. While these species occur in more open ditches, the very old, overgrown ditches on the Fen are valuable habitat for beetles, including such fenland specialists as Dryops anglicanus and the hydrophilid Hydraena palustris (RDB2).
The great majority of the Fen's beetles are small and dull in colour and can be found only by sieving the reed and sedge leaf- litter or by sweeping the vegetation. With a list of over a thousand different species of beetle, Wicken Fen is a most valuable site for Coleoptera. The sustained management effort of recent years should maintain the Fen's diversity of habitats, thus ensuring the survival of its special beetle populations.

A key witness to the 1968 assassination of Robert F. Kennedy has retracted her official statement.
78-year-old Nina Rhodes-Hughes now claims that convicted assassin Sirhan Sirhan did not act alone.
She told CNN that the FBI "twisted" her original statements to authorities. In recent court filings led by California Attorney General Kamala Harris, state prosecutors argue that even if there were a second gunman on the scene, Sirhan is still guilty of murder.
"What has to come out is that there was another shooter to my right," Rhodes told CNN. "The truth has got to be told. No more cover-ups."
Rhodes' original FBI statement says she only heard 8 gunshots at the time and makes no mention of a second shooter. However, Rhodes, who was just feet away from Kennedy says she never claimed to have only heard 8 shots.
"I never said eight shots. I never, never said it. There were more than eight shots," she told CNN. "There were at least 12, maybe 14. And I know there were because I heard the rhythm in my head."
Last November, Sirhan's attorneys announced they were filing a challenge to the verdict, alleging a conspiracy by authorities in the case. They are asking that Sirhan be released from prison. His attorneys argue that Sirhan was the victim of a malicious form of "hypo programming" that falsely caused him to believe he was RFK's assassin.
"For me it's hopeful and sad that it's only coming out now instead of before — but at least now instead of never," Rhodes told CNN.
Rhodes was never called as a witness in Sirhan's trial but claims she gave an interview shortly after the shooting during which she claimed to have heard at least a dozen shots.

Following the milestone success of her two consecutive #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart singles "NO, NO, NO" (THE REMIXES) and "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" (THE REMIXES), seminal pop culture icon YOKO ONO closes 2008 as Billboard's #4 Hot Dance Club Play Artist of the Year. Her chart-topping remix singles (both issued on MINDTRAIN/TWISTED Records) seized the #4 ("No, No, No") and #20 ("Give Peace A Chance") spot, respectively, on Billboard's 2008 Year End Top 50 Hot Dance Club Play Tracks.
With another successful year under her belt, ONO kicks off 2009 with the long-awaited digital release of "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" (THE INTERNATIONAL REMIXES) - the final installment of the avant-garde visionary's series of three digital-only, environmentally-friendly "green" remix singles. Available February 18th on MINDTRAIN/TWISTED Records (Yoko's birthday!), the potent set includes electrifying reworks of the landmark world peace anthem which has been re-recorded by the tireless humanitarian as an uplifting poetic narrative resonating with a sense of urgency and optimism.
Speaking to today's worldwide tumultuous political, social and environmental climate, ONO transforms the timeless rallying cry into a galvanizing and timely global message of hope, inspiration and limitless possibilities in a time of change.
The poignant and evocative collection features a diverse assemblage of, established and emerging, international dance/electronic music innovators such as CSS (BRAZIL), KARSH KALE (INDIA), TSZPUN (CHINA), KIMBAR (RUSSIA), DEATH IN VEGAS' RICHARD FEARLESS (ENGLAND), DJ MEME (BRAZIL), BLOW UP (ITALY), ALEX SANTER (GREECE), and FINDO GASK (SCOTLAND).
Following the massive critical and commercial success of Yoko Ono's ambitious remix collections – YES, I'M A WITCH and OPEN YOUR BOX (MINDTRAIN/Astralwerks) which paired the seminal performer with the 21st century underground - ONO readies for the digital release of "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" (THE REMIXES). The new release (available at Beatport.com and now at the iTunes Music Store) commemorates the 39th anniversary of the world peace anthem's historic June 1, 1969 recording. The song was recorded during John Lennon and Yoko Ono's infamous week-long "Bed-In For Peace" in Room 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Canada.
The enduring, landmark song has been re-recorded by ONO as an uplifting, poetic narrative resonating with a contemporary sense of urgency and optimism. The timely release speaks to today's tumultuous political, social and environmental climate. And with it, Ono - the tireless humanitarian - offers a poignant and evocative mantra that is a song of hope, inspiration and limitless possibilities in a time of change. For this important milestone release, MINDTRAIN Records again partners with legendary dance label TWISTED Records. Together they issued ONO's #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart-toppers "WALKING ON THIN ICE" (The Remixes) and "EVERYMAN / EVERYWOMAN".
Concurrent with the release of "Give Peace a Chance," MINDTRAIN/TWISTED has also digitally issued the highly sought-after and previously unreleased mixes of ONO's #1 Billboard Hot Dance Club Play charting single "NO, NO, NO" (THE REMIXES) and #2 charting "YOU'RE THE ONE" (THE REMIXES). "No, No, No" includes superlative reconstructions from international superstars Linus Loves, Tom Novy, Eric Kupper, Friscia and Lamboy, Peter Bailey and more. "You're The One" (which was the #6 Billboard Dance track of 2007) includes vibrant re-workings by Bimbo Jones, Richard Morel (aka Morel), Friscia and Lamboy, and Claude Le Gache. Already the Hot Shot Debut and #1 Breakout, The Give Peace A Chance remixes now enter the Top 10 (#10 with a bullet) on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Chart. The releases thus far are part of a series of three digital-only, environmentally-friendly "green" singles, the third of which will feature a diverse assemblage of international dance/electronic music innovators, galvanizing the familiar and timeless rallying cry: "All we are saying is GIVE PEACE A CHANCE!"

Nation's Smallest Police Station?
Alright, so I've heard of a itty bitty town in Florida having a telephone booth as a police station..... but, the great people in Friend, Nebraska are claiming that their's is the smallest? So I made a journey out there and took a few pictures......
Either way, it's kind of.....interesting?
More like pathetic than interesting. Not something I would want to brag about. How embarassing for the officer(s) that serve and protect in Friend, Nebraska.

Make do? 1 it looks like thay have very crappy equipment (That CV looks like its from the mid 90s) and 2, how shitty it must be to work in that small shack of a police station.
That's disrespectful for the officers that work there and I see it as having to be quite embarassing also.This message was brought to you by Tampons. We

From the City of Friend's website:
The city of Friend is equipped with a 911 emergency system. Equipment in the police department includes two police cruisers with radar, computers, and 24-hour communication as well as other standard equipment.
I guess they forgot to mention a police station the size of my bathroom.

By the way, I am aware that this thread may seem like I'm making a mockery of Friend's Police Department. In reality, I'm not... at all.
I spoke with a Friend officer before I took those pictures, a very nice gentleman. He didn't seem embarassed or ashamed. He took pride in it. He said his job wasn't about how small the station was.
I guess you shouldn't come to expect big, or even semi-normal sized stations from departments in the middle of Nebraska with less than 2,000 people. Heck, the city I live in has almost 20,000 and the station before the one they just moved into was so tiny the officers had to store their lunches and dinners in the same fridge as their evidence.
06-21-06, 12:20 AM #8katiemh Guest
I'm totally with you. A lot of times the equipment and station depends on city funds, a small city has a lot less revenue coming in. I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed about. If they don't have a need for some of the fancier, more updated equipment due to smaller population and much lower crime rate why waste the money on it? I think it's kinda cool, like a real life Andy Griffith show.

What, exactly, do you mean by that? That post seems to be having a dig at the people mentioned and I for one would like to know why.
That station is smaller than our locker room.Are you a 3%er? If you aren't, you should be.
Sheesh; the CVPI is worth more then the PD. They have more FF then LEOs. But then again they have a pop of 1,100. Must get tiring arresting the same person all the time! lol
I'm sure they do their jobs well and I'm not cracking on them I just find it amusing when I see small departments. Out in Hallsville MO the AD is in one bay of the FD. At least it was when I was out there in 97'. ITs a desk, file cabinet, Polaroid camera and print station. A single cell and they park their cruiser inside the station; opps I mean bay! Then again their right now the street from Boone County Sheriffs Station.
Here in Rhode Island there is the City of Central Falls; a full 1 square mile in size. Densely populated with multi family homes. Presently, the Central Falls Police force is comprised of 39 men and women who continue to serve the community. The department currently holds the positions of chief, deputy chief, 3 captains, 4 lieutenants, and 6 sergeants. The officers who presently serve the city still face the challenges of serving a culturally diverse community.Everybody is entitled to MY opinion!

It wouldn't bother me working for a department that small. I love small towns.

One of our dispatcher was an officer in the city I currently work for. He told me that back in the day they had phones boxes mounted on telephone poles with a red light mounted high on the pole in various parts of the city. When they were patroling if they saw the red light on they would stop and pick up the phone and that was how they got their calls. They didn't have dispatchers so when a citizen would call the P.D. that is how they got the calls.

Noctabula ("Night Witch") - Her immense and maleficent powers, even though she is only able to use them during the night, transform her into a formidable foe of STAR GIRL. Always accompanied by vicious animals of the night who protect her and aid her, cruelest among them is VAMPUS, the evil bird that obeys her every command.
Andragona ("Living Dragon") - The most evil and perverse of the maidens. She obtains her evil powers from her dragon-shaped helmet, however without it, she is virtually powerless. Likewise, her living shield possesses magical powers. Her ambition is to be able to vanquish STAR GIRL and by this, to take for herself the command of the other maidens, and of OGRIUS, a creation of hers, a cross between an animal and a machine.
Cibertina ("Cybertina") - Maiden of the saddest past. Sister of LADYMAR, she fell under the spell of ANDRAGONA and NOCTABULA and was transformed into a semi-reptile. She is used against her sister and her leader who are trying to recapture her and turn her back to the side of good. To help her in this quest, STAR GIRL is sending SPANTUS, a small ghost invisible to the eyes of the evil maidens.
Cabacornius (Unicorn) - Handsome unicorn, transports the maidens on their adventures and outings. Spirited and intelligent, never knowing from whence he will land, yet he always appears whenever he is needed. The color of his coat changes with his mood. ANDRAGONA desires to possess him. He is willing to allow her to ride him, but never to make him partake in her evil deeds.
Dino Prack (Chariot) - Enchanted carriage, swift and magical, attaches to CABACORNIUS. It is capable of flight and crossing over time barriers, avoiding any obstacles that might present themselves.

As the weather gets nicer, all anyone is worried about is getting outside and, come summer, into the pool. After swimming all day, your body needs fruit and nutrients to get back the energy it used so the snacks you choose should be healthy and nutritious.
Before heading out, prepare some yummy yogurt popsicles. They are great any time in the day.
First, you need to get popsicle molds. These can be found anywhere such as or Macy's. After you get out your molds, grab some granola and sprinkle granola into the bottom of each mold. Then, take your favorite flavor of yogurt and make it pourable by mixing it with milk and a little bit of honey. Then, pour the yogurt into each mold. After that, cut up bits and chunks of fruit and use toothpicks to put them in place in each mold, or you could just drop pieces of fruit into each one. When you are finished, stick a popsicle stick into each popsicle and place them in the freezer for about 10 minutes or until you are ready to eat them.
Be careful—they melt fast!
For those of you road tripping to a vacation spot this summer, snacks are always a must-have when traveling with small kids. Instead of the usual crackers and cookies, why not make their choices healthy?
First, take an almost empty jar of peanut butter then add multiple sticks of celery in it and place in a mini cooler. This treat will satisfy anyone of any age. You could also do this with apples too.
Another great road trip snack is to take a plastic tupperware container and fill it with hummus. Then, grab another container and fill it with whole grain pita bread or carrots.
During parties a great snack to have is fruit skewers. All you have to do is cut up different fruits such as apples, oranges, pineapples, grapes and strawberries. Any fruit will do. Then, take a wooden or metal skewer and slide each piece of fruit onto it.
Happy snacking!

M Dance & Fitness
Zumba classes at M Dance & Fitness provide a hip-shaking workout so engrossing that, according to Time Out New York, students barely notice its rigor until they're sore the next day. Set to music that ranges from pop to reggaeton, classes work the whole body through simple dance steps from schools such as salsa and merengue.
The studio's Masala Bhangra class replaces Zumba's Latin flair with Indian moves. Masala means "spicy" in Hindi; the routines are thus a "spicy," or Bollywood-inflected, take on Bhangra, a traditional Indian folkdance. Studio founder Misty Clark and her team of instructors helm other dance fitness classes as well, with focuses such as ballet, kick-box dance, hip-hop, and ab work.

Field is called "the heart of social work education" and our heart-felt commitment to field students and agency field instructors is strong and vibrant. Field Education in the School of Social Work currently involves over 300 students working in some 200 agencies and social work practice settings at four different levels of professional preparation: undergraduate junior and senior, and graduate foundation and clinical.
Social Work, as an applied discipline and profession, requires emphasis upon planned field education as a vital component of the educational process. Students at the School of Social Work complete between 600 and 1000 hours in their field settings. Ongoing supervision during the practicum, and concurrent integrative field seminars, foster student learning, professional development, and the integration of theory and practice. The 2008 Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS) named field the signature pedagogy of social work education, acknowledging the central role of field in each student's learning. The collaboration between students, field instructors and field faculty liaisons is a crucial link in the pathway between theory and practice.
As part of our commitment to field education, these web resources have been created to support field students and field instructors. Basic information, announcements, events, forms, and other tools are provided, as well as resources to plan, guide, enrich, and evaluate field practica. However, social work - and field education itself - is primarily about personal contact. So please feel free to call or email us directly to discuss any questions, concerns, or suggestions you have about our field programs.

So you've used
MKOverlayView to add a Google Map to your app and you've added to it a series of
MKOverlays and implemented
mapView:viewForOverlay: which returns the corresponding
MKOverlayView for your overlay. But the problem is that now you want to detect touch events on the
MKOverlayView so that an action can be taken depending on which view is tapped.
This seems to be one of those questions that many have asked, but has not really received any successful answer! Well, there is actually a way to detect touches on an
MKOverlayView, and it's surprisingly simple!
The first thing you need to do is set up an
NSMutableArray as an ivar to store all
MKOverlayViews currently visible on the screen. The simplest thing to do here would be would be to to just store every
MKOverlayView you create in
mapView:viewForOverlay: in this array. The problem is that if you keep adding (and never removing) overlays as the map moves, your array will keep growing and growing which may cause performance issues in what comes later.
So now you have an ivar (let's call it overlayViews) which contains all the
MKOverlayViews currently visible on the map (it may also contain other MKOverlayViews that are no longer visible if you go with the simple approach).
Next thing you need to do is create a UIGestureRecognizer and add it to the
MKMapView (which I assume is called mapView). You can do this in
viewDidLoad. Simply add the following three lines:
UIGestureRecognizer *gestureRecognizer = [[GestureRecognizer alloc] init]; gestureRecognizer.delegate = self; [mapView addGestureRecognizer:gestureRecognizer];
UIGestureRecognizer is a class used to handle touch gestures, and by setting the delegate to self and adding it as a gesture recogniser to the
MKMapView, which means that all touch events will now fire a delegate method on
This would be a good time to modify your header file to implement
UIGestureRecognizerDelegate. While you're there, declare a new ivar called
dragging of type
BOOL – we'll explain why in a moment. Back in your main file, you can now implement the
UIGestureRecognizerDelegate methods:
- (void)touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { dragging = NO; } - (void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { dragging = YES; } - (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event { if (!dragging) { if ([touches count] == 1) { UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject]; for (MKOverlayView *overlayView in overlayViews) { // this is where things can get inefficient if you have loads of overlayViews that aren't even visible! CGSize overlayViewSize = overlayView.frame.size; CGPoint touchPoint = [touch locationInView:overlayView]; if (touchPoint.x > 0 && touchPoint.x < overlayViewSize.width && touchPoint.y > 0 && touchPoint.y < overlayViewSize.height) { [self overlayTouched:overlayView]; // overlayView is the one that was touched! } } } } }
Let's go through this step-by-step. Firstly, why did we need the dragging
BOOL? Well, not only do you want to be able to handle touch events for the
MKOverlayView, you also will likely want to still allow the user to scroll and pinch-zoom on the map. If you simply directed all touch events to the
MKOverlayView, you would end up with a situation that even touching and dragging at a point on the map over an
MKOverlayView would result in a touch event being triggered on the
MKOverlayView, which is probably not what you wanted. Therefore, the dragging boolean keeps track of whether the user is dragging their finger across the screen, and if so, the touch event is ignored and is just handled by the
MKMapView. That's why in
touchesBegin:withEvent: we set
dragging = NO, and when
touchesMoved:withEvent: we update
dragging = YES. If
touchesBegin:withEvent: is followed immediately by
touchesEnded:withEvent: then dragging remains
NO and we know that it was a tap, rather than a drag.
So once we know that the touch event is indeed a tap and not a drag, we then iterate over all of the
MKOverlayViews that we stored previously in
overlayViews, and for each one we compare the coordinates of the touch event against the coordinates of the overlayView. If the touch event lies within the
frame of the
overlayView then we know that that is the
MKOverlayView that was touched, and can take action appropriately.
That action could be handled in the class itself, or you might choose to subclass
MKOverlayView so that the view can handle its own events, and then call a method on it (e.g.
[overlayView touched]) where appropriate.

For those who are not as familiar with these languages, there are enough examples available on Bug Labs' community.buglabs.net to get the hang of how to make the BUG do what you want to thanks to a number of helpful contributions from the BUG customer base.BUG Configuratiospan>While customers can purchase the standalone BUGbase for $499, this base unit is essentially a brain without a body. Fortunately, unlike the original BUG, the BUG 2.0 now supports Wi-Fi wireless connectivity, allowing the BUG to operate and be programmed in an untethered state. Perhaps what makes this BUG design stand out the most are the various modules that give it the uniquely flexible configuration potential. These modules range from the BUGview2 LCD touchscreen and the BUGvideo HDMI and VGA video output adapter to the BUGlocate GPS receiver and the BUGcam three-megapixel still camera module. One module in particular, the BUGvonHippel, will appeal the most to tinkerers and systems developers due to its exposed breakout board that can be used to connect actuators like servo motors and sensors like temperature and pressure detectors. This BUGvonHippel module also sports a USB port to allow the addition of storage devices and even USB-based network adapters that can be used to transform the standalone BUGbase into a full-blown Internet-connected computer.
Finally, for those willing to spend the money for the entire BUG hardware collection, Bug Labs offers the Professional BUGbundle for a pricey $1,599. This comprehensive collection includes the BUGbase, every module currently available for it, the BUGstinger developer docking station add-on, and a one-hour Bug Labs Quick Start Training Session to help new customers get quickly up to speed on the use and possibilities the BUG ecosystem has to offer. And like the Arduino, the BUG is an open-hardware platform, meaning anyone can download its hardware designs from the Bug Labs Website and modify them for his or her own designs. The expectation is, like the open-source software community, active individuals will contribute their modifications and improvements to the hardware designs back to their fellow BUG enthusiasts.
BUG App DevelopmentBecause the initial BUG has been around for a few years, more than 200 community-generated applications have already been written for the platform, though predominantly for the first-generation model, and are freely available for download. While many of these contributions are basic hardware test and 'hello, world'-style applications, there are a couple of gems that show off examples of what creative individuals can do with the hardware. Some of the highest-ranking apps include a Flickr photo uploader, a GPS logger, a security camera, a motion-sensor notification, a barcode reader, and a drawing pad. These applications can be downloaded directly from the buglabs.net/applicatioa> Website or from within the Eclipse plugin-based BUG SDK (software development kit). And because the SDK contains a full-blown BUGbase emulator that accurately simulates the BUG and associated modules, interested customers can 'try before you buy' to see if they have the basic skills, time and energy to invest in the hardware and bring their ideas to life.Because the BUG's Dragonfly SDK is an Eclipse plug-in, the development environment can run on any desktop computer that runs Eclipse. Eclipse is a free Java-based Integrated Development Environment available for download from eclipse.org. This portability allows Windows, Macintosh, or Linux customers to install and run the BUG SDK with ease.Once installed, using the SDK is as simple as creating a new BUG project and running the samples that can be installed from the SDK examples or downloaded from the variety of apps contributed by the BUG community. The emulator behaves almost exactly as the real BUG hardware, sans the sensor data like GPS or camera inputs. This is why the emulator can only go so far before customers have to acquire the BUG hardware to test their creations in the real world. Connecting the BUG hardware to the development environment is as simple as typing in the URL network path to the BUG's location. The Dragonfly environment then connects to and interrogates the attached modules and services available to the system. Clicking the Run icon in the Eclipse IDE will automatically download, install, and execute the application on the BUG itself. And because this can work over the BUG's Wi-Fi connection, there's no need to tether it to the development computer. While this seems like a small feature, it actually is a big deal for developers who may need to support the BUG in a distributed network setting.Compared to something like the Arduino, BUG application development is more complex. Yet with that complexity comes considerably more flexibility. Indeed, BUG can be configured as a full-blown dynamic, database-driven Web server, a GPS-enabled map display device, or even capture data from and drive the same actuators that work with the Arduino. It wouldn't surprise me if someone is already working on a BUG-to-Arduino bridge to have the two talk to one another.BUG BrewingBeyond serving just the tinkering open-hardware crowd, Bug Labs is making a play for the larger enterprise with the introduction of its 2.0 line. Positioning it as both a next-generation prototype construction platform as well as a build-to-order custom solution, this BUG is crawling out of the tinkerer's basement and into mainline business operations. Partnerships with cellular network carriers like Verizon are assisting with Bug Labs' expanding market base by putting the BUG on the network wherever a supported cellular data network is available in this connected world we live in.The new BUG 2.0 has plenty to offer tinkerers, developers, and serious new business engineers who prefer to spend more time with rapidly prototyping software designs than wiring up

News Article
There's a new U.S. trailer out for Adam Sandler's CG family spookshow Hotel Transylvania, and it runs about twenty seconds longer than the first U.S. trailer. The more we see of this film, the more I suspect that late summer/early fall will be a battleground for Hotel Transylvania (due out on September 21st) and ParaNorman (due out on August 17th). Check out the new trailer after the jump.
Here's the synopsis for Hotel Transylvania: "Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula's lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here's a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world's most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis."

As we look ahead to November's elections, Gloucester Township Patch is devoted to bringing you the information you need about every race in town. Here's our start on the municipal, county, state and federal candidates we'll be covering as November draws near. Bookmark this page for updates.
- Gloucester Township Public Schools: In its first-ever November election, the K-8 district will see voters go to polls to select three board members for three-year terms. Those voters will have four choices: Incumbents Felicia Reid, Raymond J. Carr III and William Fontanez and challenger Teddy Liddell.
- Black Horse Pike Regional School District: Also in its first-ever November election, the regional school district's board race features incumbents Jay J. McMullin and Jennifer Storer and challengers Sam Garro, Dawn Leary, and Louis Vizoco, a former BHPRSD board member. All are seeking one of three three-year terms up for grabs. Incubment Joe Baldino is not seeking re-election.
- Camden County Freeholders: Incumbents Jeffrey L. Nash and Ian K. Leonard are joined by Gloucester Township Councilwoman Michelle Gentek on the Democratic Party ticket. They are facing Republican candidates Diana Esobar-Wachter, Ian Gill and Eugene Lawrence—a Gloucester Township resident and former councilman.
- Camden County Sheriff: Incumbent Charles Billingham (D) faces Republican Christine Leone-Zwillinger.
- 4th Legislative District: Interim Assemblywoman Gabriela Mosquera (D), who is Gloucester Township Mayor David Mayer's aide, faces Republican candidate Shelley Lovett in the only New Jersey Assembly race of 2012. This should be a heated contest between two Gloucester Township residents. Mosquera won an Assembly seat in the 2011 election, only to see the result overturned after Lovett challenged her residency in the legislative district. She was finally seated on an interim basis in March.
- 1st Congressional District: Incumbent U.S. Rep. Rob Andrews (D) will face Republican Gregory Horton.
- U.S. Senate: U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez (D), the junior United States senator from New Jersey who was first appointed in 2006 to fill Jon Corzine's seat, takes on Republican challenger Joe Kyrillos, who easily defeated three opponents in the primary. Menendez chose Gloucester Township as one of two towns in New Jersey to launch his re-election bid, on May 22.
- U.S. President: President Barack Obama will presumptively face former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney in a campaign that has already focused heavily on the economy and job growth.

When their shopping spree to purchase the toys went over budget, the employees reached in their pockets and made personal contributions of more than $1,200. With the match at Wal-Mart and the $2,800 Alcoa, Inc., contribution, the result was more than $5,000 worth of gifts for the program.
The money was raised through a special in-plant promotion designed to increase the number of injury-free events (IFEs) reported. IFEs represent a proactive way to identify potential risk for injury. The more IFEs that can be identified means less injuries that should be sustained. A practical example of an IFE would be picking up toys off the floor at home so no one trips over them.
For every IFE reported, $4 was donated to purchase toys for the Toys for Tots program in Blount County. In all, 650 IFEs were reported during the November promotion, resulting in $2,600 worth of toys to Toys for Tots.
Wal-Mart got into the spirit of the promotion as well, providing a
dollar-for-dollar match to Toys for Tots up to $1,000.
Alcoa, Inc., employees gathered at Wal-Mart at 8 a.m. on Dec. 8 to shop. Representatives from Toys for Tots and Wal-Mart were also on hand to assist.

Kramers Ergot meets the Simpsons in this year's Treehouse of Horror
I somehow missed this in Tucker Stone's report from MoCCA last week, but luckily Heidi over at the Beat caught it — Stone spoke with John Kerschbaum about his future projects, and the creator revealed that he's working on this year's Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror book for Bongo Comics.
Kerschbaum isn't the only one working on the book, though; as you can see below in the solicitation copy that Bongo was kind enough to send us, they've recruited a Murderer's Row of creators, including Jeffrey Brown, Kevin Huizenga, Matthew Thurber and many more, and it's edited by Sammy Harkham of Kramers Ergot fame:
Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #15
Edited by Sammy Harkham
48 pages/standard format/color/humor
Guest edited by Sammy Harkham, the award-winning creator of the popular Kramers Ergot anthology, this year's issue is a jam-packed with some of the most idiosyncratic (and weirdest) takes on "The Simpsons" universe ever. Among Halloween-inspired short strips by such visionary cartoonists as Jordan Crane (Uptight), C.F. (Powr Mastrs), Will Sweeney (Tales from Greenfuzz), Tim Hensley (MOME), and John Kerschbaum (Petey & Pussy), are four featured tales of inspired Simpsons lunacy: heralded artists Kevin Huizenga (Ganges, Or Else) and Matthew Thurber (1-800 Mice, Kramers Ergot) collaborate on a weird and wild story equal parts Lovecraftian eco-horror and Philip K. Dick identity comedy. Jeffrey Brown (Incredible Change-Bots, Clumsy) does a creepy and suitably pathetic story featuring Milhouse in a "Bad Ronald"-inspired tale of murder and crawl space living. Harkham and Ted May (INJURY) pull out all the stops for a tragic monster tale of unrequited love, bad karaoke, and body snatching at Moe's Bar. Ben Jones (Paper Rad) does the comic of his life with an epic tale of how bootleg candy being sold at the Kwik-E-Mart rapidly spirals out of control into an Invasion of The Body Snatchers-like nightmare of a Springfield filled with cheap bootleg versions of familiar characters. And nobody does squishy, sweaty, and gross like up and coming cartoonist Jon Vermilyea (MOME), who outdoes himself with "C.H.U.M.M.," a C.H.U.D.-inspired parody featuring everybody's favorite senior citizen, Hans Moleman!
With a cover by Dan Zettwoch, Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #15 is like nothing you've ever seen, and is sure to be one of the most talked about comics of the year by alternative comic readers and Simpsons fans of all ages!
This goes on my "must buy" list.
Talking Comics with Tim: Esther Pearl Watson
Esther Pearl Watson's Unlovable Vol. 1 features an artistic style that reminds me of Lynda Barry. Clearly I'm not the first to see the similarity (and in fact Barry offers words of praise for the book). As described by Fantagraphics: "Loosely based on a teenager's diary from the 1980s found in a gas-station bathroom, Unlovable details the sometimes ordinary, sometimes humiliating, often poignant and frequently hilarious exploits of underdog Tammy Pierce … In the epic saga that is Unlovable, Tammy finds herself dealing with: tampons, teasing, crushes, The Smiths, tube socks, facial hair, lice, celibacy, fantasy dream proms, gym showers, skid marks, a secret admirer, prank calls, backstabbers, winter ball, barfing, narcs, breakdancing, hot wheels, glamour shots, roller coasters, Halloween costumes, boogers, boys, boy crazy feelings, biker babes, and even some butt cracks. Tammy's life isn't pretty, but it is endlessly charming and hilarious.
Originally (and still) serialized in Bust magazine, Unlovable includes over 100 new pages created just for this edition, which is handsomely packaged in a unique hot pink hardcover format with sparkly blue glitter that would make Tammy proud."
One great thing I learned in this interview is that this is only the first volume of Unlovable. Next year on Valentine's Day will mark the release of the second volume. Volume 1 covers from fall of 1988 to 1989 and Volume 2 is set in 1989. Be sure to visit the book's page on Fantagraphics, for another of its great Flickr videos, allowing one to "flip" through the book virtually. And in a literal sense, Fantagraphics has a 20-page preview of the 416-page Volume 1.
Tim O'Shea: I have to know–"I walked around with a red lollipop stuck to my butt"–was that a direct quote from the found diary that inspired Unlovable or a total (incredibly hilarious) creation of your mind?
Esther Pearl Watson: Well…I made that up.

Court Upholds Order Unsealing Pleadings in NASCAR CEO's Divorce Matter
The issue of confidentiality of financial records in a divorce matter recently came before the North Carolina Court of Appeals. The court affirmed a lower court's order unsealing the documents in a man's post-divorce proceeding against his ex-wife, in which he alleges that she breached confidentiality provisions in their pre-nuptial agreement. After one judge initially sealed the pleadings, a different judge unsealed them, citing the public's interest in open judicial proceedings. The appellate court affirmed this decision in France v. France, No. COA12-284, slip op. (N.C. App., Dec. 31, 2012).
The plaintiff, Brian France, was married to and divorced the defendant, Megan France, on two separate occasions. Their second marriage, which began in December 2007, included a pre-nuptial agreement. In exchange for certain financial benefits in the event of divorce, the defendant agreed to keep any financial information in her possession about the plaintiff confidential, unless she was compelled by law to disclose such information. Breach of the confidentiality provisions, according to the pre-nuptial agreement, would constitute a material breach creating a cause of action for damages.
The couple separated in 2008. While the details of their divorce were kept confidential, statements made on the record in court indicated that the plaintiff, who is the chief executive officer of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), would pay the defendant $9 million, as well as child support of $10,000 per month and alimony, for a period of ten years, of $32,000 per month.

— TRAVERSE CITY — Grand Traverse County's Parks and Recreation Department could be next on the chopping block as officials grapple with a budget deficit just shy of $1.5 million.
County commission members have strongly opposed a proposal put forward by county administrators last month to save $600,000 in 2014 through the elimination of several Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Department positions, including five road patrol deputies. Commissioner Dan Lathrop offered a different target for deep budget cuts during a budget meeting last week: the parks department.
"When I look at what happens in the parks, I'd rather have the cops personally," Lathrop said. "When you look at this the tie should go to the (sheriff's) department and not the parks."
Commissioner Christine Maxbauer said several counties in Michigan have saved money in recent years by consolidating parks departments with other departments.
Grand Traverse County's Facilities Management Department could incorporate the parks department, Maxbauer said. Then the county board could cut the positions of Parks and Recreation Department Director Jason Jones and office manager Kristine Erickson without impacting county services.
Jones could not be reached for comment. Erickson said she's not a "media contact" for the parks department and declined comment.
Lathrop said the commission should also consider closing the Civic Center's Easling Pool, which is operated by the parks department.
County officials have talked off and on about closing the pool for the last decade. Commissioners more recently have said the Grand Traverse Bay YMCA pool slated to open next year will greatly reduce the need for a county-operated pool.
Parks and Recreation Commissioner William Dorrier opposed both closing the pool and reducing the parks department. He said Maxbauer has "constantly" threatened to close the pool and eliminate the parks department. He also said county board members favor cuts to the parks department over the sheriff's department because it's more likely to earn them votes.
"This really is sad," Dorrier said. "This is local politics at its worst."
Maxbauer said she's always supported the pool and reducing the parks department administration, but not eliminating the department itself or the parks and recreation board.
"I would defy (Dorrier) to find a spot where I did," she said.
Maxbauer and Lathrop said axing the two administrator positions and consolidating the departments would not result in any shuttered parks or recreational programs run by county partners like Traverse Bay Area Youth Soccer.
County Finance Director Dean Bott said eliminating the parks director and office manager positions would save about $174,000 annually between salary, benefit and legacy costs. Closing the pool would save roughly $75,000 per year. Bott stressed board members have not settled on either decision.
Commissioners need to find about $900,000 in savings to close the 2014 budget gap, assuming county officials also successfully negotiate another $500,000 in savings through ongoing talks with some of the county's collective bargaining units, county Administrator Dave Benda said.
The commission will hold a budget meeting Thursday at 7 p.m. Several commissioners said board members might decide to analyze the entire budget line by line, looking for long-term structural savings.

moreThe world is full of brilliant people whose ideas are never heard. This book is designed to make sure that you're not one of them.
Even for the most self-confident among us, public speaking can be a nerve-racking ordeal. Whether we are speaking to a large audience, within a group, or in a one-on-one conversation, the way in which we communicate ideas, as much as the ideas themselves, can determine success or failure. In this invaluable guide by two of today's most sought-after communication experts, Peter Meyers and Shann Nix offer a comprehensive approach for tackling the underlying obstacles that almost all of us experience when faced with speaking in public. In As We Speak, you'll learn to master the three building blocks at the core of their approach:
Content: Organize the information you want to convey and construct a clear and lucid architecture of ideas that will lead your listener through a memorable emotional experience.
Delivery: Use your body, voice, eyes, and hands in ways that engage your audience and naturally support your message.
State: Bring yourself into peak performance condition. Your state is the way you feel when you perform, and it is both the most powerful and most frequently overlooked component of communication.
Meyers and Nix show how to apply these principles in a wide variety of situations. You'll learn how to handle difficult face-to-face conversations with colleagues, friends, and family; how to make the best use of e-mail, phone, video conference, and other technology; and how to communicate in a crisis, when all eyes are on you and emotions are running high. Meyers and Nix also emphasize that effective communication is impossible without first becoming aware of your own true goals and personal beliefs, and they offer helpful tools and exercises that will lead you to greater clarity and self-knowledge.
Accessible, inspiring, and laden with useful tips, As We Speak will help you discover your authentic voice and learn to convey your ideas in the most powerful and memorable way possible. less

After an eight year, live show hiatus, country superstar Shania Twain returned to the spotlight Saturday night with her new show at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Still the One and the result was a jaw-dropping production that included dancing violinists and cellists, a flying motorcycle, a white horse, a black horse (if you can believe it), an a cappella backup trio, gorgeous costumes and some of Twain's biggest hits, all belted out with her stunning voice!
The performance was exactly the type of show Las Vegas is known for times 100 and exactly the kind of comeback concert Shania needed to prove, she is in fact still is the one, for incredible country music and unbelievable stage theatrics.
The show opened with a video montage of Shania on horseback. It then changed into a motorcycle speeding through a video tunnel to reveal her flying in on the chopper above the stage. The imagery of Shania riding gracefully on horseback through a gorgeous setting and then flying like a bat out of hell on a souped–up motorcycle set the tone for the entire concert as the audience went from beautiful songs and horses on stage to loud costumes, dancers and unbelievable acts you'd expect to see in a Cirque du Soleil show.
She kicked off the concert with "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" And that she certainly did as 14 musicians, four male dancers and three backup singers, including her talented sister Carrie Ann, flew onstage on top of three music pods. Shania then entered the stage wearing a sparkly, skin-tight catsuit with knee-high boots that shouted, "I'm back" in full force.
But even through her bold outfits and the incredible action on stage, Shania was emotional. She told the audience: "This is an overwhelming night for me. I'm so emotional, my eyelashes may fall off! It's been a lot of years since I was out here. I realize what I have been missing, and I am very humbled to be invited here on the same stage as my icons Rod Stewart, Elton John and Celine Dion. I'm not alone up here because it's a big effort by everybody. … It's been a long time to get back up here, but there is now no way but up."
Her set list included, "You Win My Love," "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under," "Any Man of Mine," "You're Still the One," "From This Moment On" and "Man I Feel Like A Woman."
For the complete set list you'll just have to see Still the One in person with discounted tickets right here on Best of Vegas.

First , then , now mandatory bike helments.
Councilman David Greenfield, D-Borough Park, introduced legislation this week requiring all cyclists in New York City to wear a helmet when riding, no matter their age.
Under the proposed law, all bicycle riders on streets that are open to public traffic or city park property would be required to wear a helmet. A first-time violator would pay a $25 fine, $50 for a second violation within one year and $100 for a third offense within two years.
Cyclists under age 14 and professional delivery riders are already required to wear helmets in New York City.
"Helmets save lives, plain and simple. It is common sense, but we still have far too many people biking around the city without a helmet. This law will help protect cyclists and will prevent serious injuries and deaths," said Councilman Greenfield.
According to a statement by Greenfield, head injuries account for roughly one-third of all cyclist emergency room visits and three-quarters of cyclist deaths, and helmets can reduce the risk of serious head injuries for cyclists by more than 60 percent.
"This legislation is not about punishing cyclists, it's about encouraging them to ride safely. Helmets are cheap, light and literally save lives. This law is long overdue and will help reduce the number of cyclists who visit local emergency rooms or are hospitalized as a result of injuries sustained while not wearing a helmet," added Greenfield.
The legislation comes the same week that city officials announced a plan for .

A Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation driver is on paid suspension after the bus he was driving hit and killed a pedestrian.
Police say the bus hit 40-year-old Joseph Bias as he was stepping onto the street at an intersection in Charleston. Bias died at the scene.
The accident occurred around 5 a.m. Thursday. Five passengers were on the bus at the time.
KRT general manager Denny Dawson says the driver was placed on paid suspension while the accident is investigated. He declined to identify the man, who has been a KRT driver for about 10 years.

Saints re-sign WR Roby
The Saints re-signed WR Courtney Roby, a key special-teams player, on Monday.
Saints place KR Roby on I.R.
The Saints placed KR Courtney Roby on injured reserve Thursday with a concussion.
NFL announces rookies, players of the month
The NFL announced Thursday its rookies and players of the month for September.
The New Orleans Saints have placed Roby on injured reserve, officially ending his season three weeks after he suffering a concussion during a game against the St. Louis Rams.||||||| Roby has missed the past two games since his injury, although head coach Sean Payton said last week that he had been cleared to play again. Roby had averaged 23.8 yards on 33 kickoff returns this season, with a long return of 39 yards. Running back Pierre Thomas has handled kickoff returns in Roby's absence, averaging 22 yards on seven returns.
Saints coach Sean Payton says Roby appears to have no long-term damage and should be released from the hospital on Monday.||||||| Roby suffered a neck injury and concussion Sunday against the St. Louis Rams and was taken to a local hospital. Payton says Roby has "some soreness in his neck, but the news is good." The coach says the Saints will "see where he's at this week." Roby was injured during a scramble for the ball after he fumbled a return in the second quarter. He was taken off the field on a stretcher after about a 10-minute delay.
The Saints have brought back kick return specialist and reserve receiver Courtney Roby.||||||| Roby, now in his fourth year in the NFL, signed with the Saints during the 2008 season and served as the team's primary kickoff returner for five games before his season ended with an ankle injury. He averaged 24.8 yards on 19 kickoff returns for the Saints last season. The 6-foot, 189-pound former Indiana standout entered the league as the Tennessee Titans' 2005 third-round draft choice and also has played for the Indianapolis Colts.
The Bengals signed Roby to a two-year deal on Tuesday.||||||| The move came on the same day receiver Tab Perry was placed on injured reserve, ending his season. Roby was a third-round draft pick by Tennessee in 1005. He played in 25 games, starting six, during his career with the Titans, which ended when he was waived on Sept. 1.

Alicia Keys sported a very familiar silhouette on the red carpet at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards on Sunday evening held in Frankfurt, Germany.
The singer, who also performed on the night, wore the Stella McCartney tri-colour 'Miracle' dress.
While many of you are so very over this dress, I have to say I loved the green and the stunning choker which gave this look a fresh twist.
The let down was the illusion panel, which didn't create so much of an illusion around the shoulders.
Gianvito Rossi silver metallic pumps and a sleek bob hairstyle completed her look.
Alicia shared, "Getting ready for an event like this often involves a long time in a chair getting my hair and make up done, then warming up for my performance."

2802 Employee Reviews (View Most Recent)
3 people found this helpful
"Lightning strikes twice"
Pros – This is the second time in my life that I wake up and can't wait to get to work. I love the company, and my job.
The corporate culture is sensitive to employee performance and genuinely committed to personal growth and success. There are numerous opportunities to learn more through the internal CBT system, LearnNET. The people are all open and friendly, and always open to new members, and will at least listen to new ideas, even when they are already committed to another plan.
Cons – can be confusing to navigate the culture
can be frustrating learning the rules of how to interact
remote management can result in managers being out of touch with whats going on, on the ground where the front line staff are.
There is very little tolerance for expressing any judgement. Even a wrong tone of voice can get you a meeting with your manager/director/VP depending on your level. This can be frustrating. However, there is always an opportunity to change and improve, and anyone will help you to understand and adapt.
Advice to Senior Management – having your manager in a different location can be a bit frustrating. sometimes it feels like my manager is out of touch with my responsibilities' challenges. as a result, I can never be sure if I have their support in my decisions. In addition, when my actions are comments on by others, sometimes, my manager jumps to a conclusion rather than ask me about the issue. My manager is inconsistent in the support, which make me hesitate to act, sometimes.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Not a bad place to work"
I worked at CVS Caremark part-time for less than a year
Pros: 10% Employee discount. Steady schedule Cons: 24 hour store If you don't like dealing with the public...this… No, I would not recommend this company to a friend More
