Forbes recently reported that a study of over 4,000 leaders found that over 25% of an executive's success could be attributed to "Executive Presence." Yet many people have trouble describing exactly what Executive Presence is, even if they feel as though they know it when they see it. Developing this elusive quality can be particularly daunting for minorities and women. The study further reported that women find feedback about executive presence "hopelessly contradictory." A new course has been developed as a collaborative effort with Successful Projects to unveil the mysteries of Executive Presence and to teach you how to build your own.
Many of the students through Successful Projects have been instructed by Frank P. Saladis. He is an instructor in our Certificate in Project Management Program, has been a La Crosse PMI Chapter speaker, and the founder and spokesperson for the International Project Management Day which many of us are involved with.
He and his family live on Staten Island, which was one of the most heavily hit areas by the recent Hurricane Sandy. And we wanted to forward on his suggestion for those who care to donate to their area's relief fund. You may visit: http://www.tunneltotowers.org/ and click on "Hurricane Sandy". You will then be able to choose the amount of your donation as well as select "Staten Island" as the location you wish your money to benefit. You can indicate your PMI Chapter name under Company if you prefer. You may also send a personal check made out to the T2T Hurricane Sandy Relief Fund, with "Staten Island" in the memo field, to:

Starting in June 2009 the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and the University of Wisconsin-Superior Small Business Development Centers are both adding a Certificate in Project Management Program that is designed and instructed by Kay Wais with Successful Projects. This innovative certificate program is unique in the degree of individual customization and one-on-one learning sessions between student and instructor. It works extremely well for busy, working adults who want to select the learning activities, textbooks, and timeframe that works best for them.
The UW-Parkside Small Business Development Center (SBDC) will offer the Successful Project's Certificate in Project Management program to the Racine and Kenosa region starting this fall.
Cornelius Fitchner interviewed Kay Wais, owner of Successful Projects, about the Project Risk boardgame on the PM Podcast that aired 6/1/09. The 5-minute interview is towards the beginning of the podcast.

This light, airy, fluffy cake drizzled with coffee mixture & topped with whipped cream and Croccan crystals, is a very well known cake back home in Amman. It's one of the favourite cakes made in any gathering or parties. I usually use decaffeinated coffee just in-case we'll have it in the evening or there's anyone who can't have caffeinated coffee. It's a "Must-Try Cake".
***Prepare Cake:
With Electric mixer, on medium-high, beat eggs+ vanilla till it becomes fluffy & light-yellow in colour, about 5 minutes. Gradually add sugar while beating. Add oil& continue beating.
Sift Flour+ Baking Powder+ salt. Add to egg mixture gradually while beating on low speed till just combined.
Pour batter into UN-GREASED tube-shape baking pan. Bake in 350F (180C) preheated oven for about 30-40 minutes or till a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Invert pan over a bottle or a jar, and leave it hanging as so till it cools completely, about 1 hour. (Don't worry; cake won't fall from the pan).
After cake is cool, run a knife around outer& inner edges of cake. Invert it over serving plate. Poke cake with wooden stick all over so it would absorb the sauce.
***Prepare Nescafe sauce: mix Nescafe+ water+ sugar and stir till dissolved. Pour mixture over cake. Cover and keep in fridge.
***Prepare Croccan: put sugar in a pan and melt over low-medium heat. When half the sugar has melted, add the Almonds and stir till all sugar is melted and almonds are toasted. Pour mixture on a baking tray & leave to cool. When it hardens, remove from tray, keep in a bag and crush it with a pestle.
***Prepare Whipping cream: using an electric mixer, on high speed, beat whipping cream+ icing sugar till it forms soft peaks, or whip a sachet of dream whip as directed on pack.
***To assemble: Spread whipped cream over cake as desired, sprinkle crushed Croccan on top. Cut and serve.
» Metric Converter
Moscato, Sparkling Whites and Rose are the best wines to pair with Nescafe Cake.

Kourtney Kardashian in Paige Premium
It looks like Kourtney Kardashian is back on the west cost. Kourtney, her boyfriend Scott and son Mason, hit some local boutiques and did some shopping. It's funny how different Kourtney's style is in New York vs. LA! She opted for a much more casual and laid back outfit for her day of shopping.
Kourtney wore a simple cable knit sweater and a pair of light wash jeans. She's wearing Paige Premium light wash boyfriend jeans. You can buy Paige jeans at Paigeusa.com.
Nicole Richie in Paige Premium Denim Jacket
Nicole Richie makes her way out of the gym and to her car. It looks like Nicole has been hitting the gym quite a lot recently. Perhaps she's getting ready for her rumored wedding to Joel Madden? The two are supposed to make it official in December around the holidays. I, for one, can't wait to see her dress!
Nicole even makes going to the gym look stylish. She threw on her Paige Premium denim Vermont jacket over her work out clothes. Nicole has worn this jacket before in a much different way. Looks great both ways! You can buy Paige Premium denim jackets at Paigeusa.com.
Taylor Swift in American Eagle
Taylor Swift waves to fans as she arrives in Tokyo, Japan. Taylor had just arrived from London, England, where she was busy promoting her newest album Speak Now. Despite the buzz of her newest album, Taylor's love life seems to still be making front page news. Rumors have it that Jake Gyllenhaal hired a private jet to see Taylor while she was abroad!
For the long flight, Taylor opted for a comfortable sweater and jeggings. She's wearing American Eagle's soft jegging in medium rinse. These look so comfortable, perfect for flying! You can buy these jeggings at American Eagle for only $29.99.
Rachel Bilson in AG Adriano Goldschmied
Rachel Bilson swung by a local grocery store to stock up for the week. I think the paparazzi must know all of her local hangouts because she's by far one of the most photographed celebrity. But I typically enjoy her style, so I don't mind seeing photos of her!
Her look was perfect for the weekend, a gray over-sized sweatshirt and her AG boyfriend jeans. She finished the look off with a pair of lace up oxfords and a gray Chanel flap bag. Rachel's outfits always look put together without being over-thought. You can buy Rachel's AG jeans online for $275.

Sewage oversight left to individual facilities
From his office in downtown Clinton, Dan Hawkins can monitor what's going in the bottom of a basin at the wastewater treatment plant several miles away.
Fiber optic cables carry information on such items as oxygen levels and temperature right from the basin's bottom.
"The basins are just a big microbiological bug farm that breaks down the organics," Hawkins explained. "You have to monitor that environment. You have to know what is going on in there."
Such is the complicated world of sewage treatment - a business that less than 60 years ago amounted to getting the sewage to water and letting Mother Nature take care of the rest.
The industry has been in the news for East Tennesseans since the April 5 tragedy at the Gatlinburg Wastewater Treatment Plant. An equalization tank ruptured, fatally burying two workers under a collapsed wall and sending millions of gallons of raw sewage into the Little Pigeon River.
Certainly there is no guarantee that such a catastrophe won't happen again.
"The truth be known, it is very difficult to judge the structure of aging concrete," said James Burnham, director of engineering and planning at the Harriman Sewage Plant. "One thing to know about wastewater is that it is terribly caustic. This stuff will really corrode steel."
Although massive regulations from several government agencies monitor what comes in and goes out of sewage treatment plants, there is little if any direct government oversight of the plant structures themselves.
"There are no agencies or other groups that are responsible for assessing the structural integrity of tanks/structures at WWTPs (wastewater treatment plants)," wrote Knoxville Utilities Board officials in response to emailed questions from the News Sentinel.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation handles much of the regulation of sewage treatment plants. Among its other duties, TDEC oversees federal Environmental Protection Agency regulations, specifically the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System program.
"TDEC regulates the operation of wastewater systems, including collection systems, sewers and pump stations and wastewater treatment works," wrote Tisha Calabrese-Benton, TDEC's communications director, in an email response to News Sentinel questions. "We license operators, inspect plants and labs, oversee pretreatment, authorize land disposal of solids. We require reports of operations and measurements and reporting of wastewater coming into and leaving plants."
It amounts to a mountain of documentation and a ton of inspections, but little of it on the plant structures themselves.
"TDEC does not monitor safety or structural integrity," Calabrese-Benton wrote.
The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Administration, also has a huge hand in overseeing sewage treatment plants, but its bailiwick is worker safety.
TOSHA administrator John Winkler said the agency oversees 140,000 businesses and government entities, including sewage treatment plants. It has fewer than 100 employees and still manages about 2,500 site inspections in a given year. Because of this, TOSHA inspects sites usually only when it has a reason.
"If there is a fatality, if there is a catastrophic accident or if there is a complaint, or if there is something, we hear through the media," explained Jeff Hentschel, media relations director for the Tennessee Department of Labor and Workforce Development, which oversees TOSHA.
Hentschel said TOSHA had not inspected the Gatlinburg plant before the accident, although it has done quite a bit since.
Still, to say sewage treatment plant structures are totally unregulated would be a stretch.
First, although TDEC does not regulate sewage treatment plant structures once they are built, the agency does look over construction plans.
"We have to submit our plans for any construction or upgrades to TDEC's water quality control before we can begin construction," Hawkins of Clinton's sewage treatment plant said.
He should know. Built in 1954, Clinton's plant is among the oldest in East Tennessee. It also has been among the most upgraded, with renovations in 1968, 1988, 1992, 2001 and another one nearly completed.
Second, like any other construction project, sewage treatment plants must meet requirements for building permits.
"Like any structure - like a bridge - the plants have to be built to codes for the region - earthquake codes and all others," said Nick Jackson, manager of treatment and operations for the Hallsdale Powell Utility District. "There is a best practices."
Third, although neither TDEC nor TOSHA is directly responsible for the actual plant structures, both are in position to spot problems and often do.
"TDEC is not the agency with expertise for worker safety," wrote Calabrese-Benton, "though if TDEC inspectors see something during a site visit that is an obvious safety concern, they will report it to plant management and TOSHA."
And, finally, far from being outdated and needing repairs, the overwhelming majority of sewage treatment plants in East Tennessee stay up to date.
The TDEC website lists 55 sewage treatment plants in a 17-county, East Tennessee area.
Calls to most of those sewage treatment plants on that list revealed almost all had had major renovations within the past 10 years.
The Oneida sewage treatment plant was built in 1962 but totally replaced in 2008. The Niles Ferry wastewater plant, part of the Tellico Area Services System, was built in 1981 but just completed a renovation.
Clinton's history exemplifies the system.
"When we started wastewater treatment back in the 1950s, at that point in time pipe took the wastewater from house and went to a collection system that sent it directly to the river," Hawkins said. "Then we installed pump stations. Then in 1968 we came in and updated those facilities. In 1985, we needed additional sludge drying bins.
"In the '50s, houses were three bedroom and one bath, now it's four baths. People use a lot more water. So, even though there might not be more houses, they use a lot more water. We added components in 1988 and had another upgrade in 2001."
He added that Clinton is just completing yet another major update.
"The wastewater plants are more technologically advanced than the water treatment plants are," Hawkins said.
"We do a lot of qualitative control," said Jackson of Hallsdale Powell. "We take down the tanks yearly (for inspection). We look over things daily and if we see anything that looks out of place we call in the structural engineers."
Jackson said his district's Beaver Creek sewage treatment plant had a ditch expansion in 1988. Then before another renovation was undertaken in 2010, experts were brought in to use "radar" to look at those '88 structural changes, making sure they were still sound before beginning the 2010 project.
In its response, KUB also indicated it takes its responsibility for structural integrity seriously.
"Once built, periodic assessment of condition of the tank or structure is performed by the owner (and/or their consultant) as part of the overall management plan for the facility," KUB officials wrote. "Any abnormalities noticed would be further assessed by the appropriate subject matter experts (structural, mechanical, electrical or process engineers). Appropriate actions would be taken as needed to correct any issues."

Viewing Weather Forecast for Sunday 29th March 2015
Forecast last updated on Saturday 28th March 2015 at 12:00pm
Summary for all mountain areas
A complicated day weatherise. Broadly, extensive strong to gale upland winds (strongest Wales and S Pennines), low cloud and rain, but particularly N & E Scotland, a lengthy lull in the wind and rain will last much of the day - before deteriorating.
Headline for Lake District
Windy; frequent rain/snow.
How windy? (On the summits)
Westerly. There may be a lull morning, but often 30 to 40mph.
Effect of wind on you?
Expect widespread buffeting and significant wind chill.
How Wet?
Rain on and off
Rain or above 500m snow, on and off: sometimes just showers, sometimes constant for a couple of hours or so.
Cloud on the hills?
Extensive most of the day
There may be breaks to higher tops temporarily morning; but fells predominantly cloud covered above about 550m, and intermittently 300m. (Base 100m or so higher eastern fells.) The base will gradually lift to higher summits again from west later afternoon.
Chance of cloud free summits?
Sunshine and air clarity?
Sunshine rare if any. Visibility sometimes very good below cloud, but extensive fog on the hills.
How Cold? (at 750m)
0C; but will feel as cold as minus 14C directly in the wind.
Freezing Level
Planning Outlook
All mountain areas of Britain from Monday 30th March 2015
Frequent upland gales and precipitation on all mountain areas until mid-week next week. Most precipitation will be on western mountains, often of snow on higher areas, particularly the Scottish Highlands. But there will be a long periods of cold showery weather when snow will fall to lower slopes mid-week, with freezing level typically 500 to 700m, highest Wales. There is now moderate confidence of much 'quieter' weather as pressure builds over Easter. It may remain cold, but substantially dry and winds frequently light.

I went with the .38 but my 686 is my current favorite. I like my light .38 reloads in it but do load some moderate .357s. A couple months ago it would have been .44 special for the same reason but the .38 is cheaper to load for and smoother to shoot.
I am the lone .41 fan as of now. The .41 shoots flatter than the .44, hits harder than the .357, recoils far less than it should. 170 gr JHC's at 1600 fps are screamers. 210 SWC's at 1000 fps are very mild.
The only draw back is there are no shot shells available. I developed a shot shell load using gas checks above and below the shot. Works very well, but is time consuming to load.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire.
"Robo is right" Fuzzball
7.62 Nagant. (partly because it is the only revolver cartridge other than .22 LR I have shot or own. )
i guess my overwhelming favorite is the 357 Magnum, just because i have owned more of them than any other revolver caliber, but the 44 Magnum isslowly working itself up to that point. i have enjoyed my 44 magnum revolver so much since i acquired it and have worked up some very nice loads for it, that are pleasant to shoot in it.

I read that it is a combination of staged and real weddings. Either way, still a fun video!
I read that it is a combination of staged and real weddings. Either way, still a fun video!
I have an athletic build where my body is pretty much straight up and down without almost any curves, so men's shirts and sweaters usually fit me better - so I've been doing this for years. Also, I'm pretty tall, and the length of men's tops tend to fit better in that regard, as well. I do buy some "trendier" women's tops, but for the staples, I check out the men's department.
key word is chef. not cook. not waiter. (although, they should be fired, too, if they are messing with food).
Restaurants usually don't give an option of how well-done your chicken will be- it usually applies more to beef and pork. However, the picture is misleading, unless it is insinuating that people ask for burnt chicken.
Probably more like she found out she was pregnant after he left for overseas…
I'm in a similar position. My firm shutdown 3 months after I graduated. It took me a year to find another job - which pays me an hourly wage, without any benefits (and that $300 fee to renew my bar license, god forbid they would actually pay for it!). I went to a top-tier law school and I just feel like these schools are lying to kids and super-saturating the market!
Ha! Release them to relatives? Who are probably also here illegally. So that the government can lose track of them. What a great idea!
The only way for the government to process all of them is to keep them in one (or a couple) places so that they can keep track of them until the paperwork and other steps are completed. It is totally insane that these activists think that we should just let these people who are illegally entering the country just run free without any processing or penalties. Unless they complete the process and obtain asylum, they are criminals. It is illegal to enter the country without proper paperwork and these people need to learn that there are rules.
Then you should sit on an end seat so that you have one side that isn't touching someone or stand and let 2 people sit down. It's not fair to make people stand while there is an empty seat.
#10 - It says he WROTE a letter everyday, not that one was delivered everyday. He actually could have physically written a letter and stuck it in a mailbox every single day, even if there is no post on Sundays.
I have back issues and find that when the seat is fully upright, it exacerbates the problem. The seats on planes are so upright, they practically make you lean forward! I typically recline my seat about an inch or so (NOT fully reclined, probably about half of what the chair can recline), which relieves the problem. I try to be courteous by doing it slowly and not reclining fully. The chairs recline for a reason, people should be able to use that feature.
Why didn't you move into the empty seat next to you?
They look fantastic! Look more like 70's-80's instead of 100+
Exactly! It's not the government's job to fund your retirement!
The government is not going to take care of you when you are old. People need to pretty much assume that they are on their own and plan accordingly for their financial needs after retirement.
I am a woman and I also find most of the behaviors on that list to be obnoxious/annoying. I think there were maybe only 5-10 that I disagreed with. I think part of it is that I live in an urban area and take public transportation to commute and the sheer number of self-absorbed/selfish people that I encounter has made me wonder if humanity is doomed. Of course, this guy seems particularly jaded; I would never make a deal-breaker list like this!
They could also trip while going upstairs to bed. Or down the stairs to on their way out of work. Or in the grocery store. Using your logic, pregnant women should basically go on bed rest to prevent all of the potential accidents that might befall them.
It is actually worse for the mom and baby for the mom to change her exercise routine after becoming pregnant. Obviously, pregnant women need to be cautious, but with a doctor's clearance, running can be great exercise when pregnant.
Also, if you do the calculations, that means that they are paying their entry level people over $10 an hour - well above minimum wage in a lot of states. This writer's alarmist twisting of the facts is irresponsible.
In some cities (including mine) the In and Out turnstiles are the same (there is no designated "Out" turnstile). So at rush periods it is a nightmare if you are going the opposite way of the rush (like this guy). Also, if you watch closely, he is already in the turnstile before she swipes. She should have waited the extra 10 seconds for him to finish walking through before she swiped.
I don't think this writer knows what last call is (at least in the U.S.). "Last call" literally means this is your last chance to buy a drink because we're closing in a little bit. So of course people buy drinks after last call! That's the point of doing last call!
Prawns are actually different from shrimp - like they are literally a different species. So, technically Australians are the ones that need to change their lexicon (not Outback Steakhouse) if Australians are using a single word, "prawns," for both shrimp and prawns.
That gave me goosebumps!
For those that are unaware, pretty much every criminal defendant waives their right to a speedy trial these days. For the most part, it's to give both sides more time to prepare. It's also because a lot of courts have a large backlog of cases. I have always wondered why more defendants DON'T waive the right to a speedy trial, though. It seems that even though you are giving up time to prepare for your own defense, you're probably throwing the prosecutor off even more, which could be to your benefit.
It still plays on ABC Family on weekday mornings. I DVR it!
Koalas are adorable, but the fact that they have managed to survive is just crazy. They literally sleep 20 hours per day because their diet of eucalyptus leaves is too nutritionally poor to give them energy to do anything else.
Those employees face some pretty hefty fines and a little jail time for their HIPAA violations!
Except they're not "abandoned" as you say. They were literally JUST adopted in a new penal code by Brunei.
#7 is worded wrong. It is asking how many representatives (congressmen would include senators). Weird how they got the wording right in the first one, but not the seventh.
She can't workout to get rid of the extra skin. It's not an issue of her trying harder to look "fit." She is fit - she lost the weight and has kept it off. She has the excess skin around her belly because when she was heavier, her skin stretched to fit her body and some people's skin just doesn't have a lot of elasticity that allows it to shrink back when the person loses the weight.
How on earth can they move their feet so fast??? Amazing!
Also, I understand not wanting to automatically assume that Singer is guilty. But, the types of behaviors by the accuser that you are questioning show that you don't understand the mental and emotional affects that abuse have on an adolescent boy.
It doesn't matter the reason why the kid was flying back and forth or living with Singer. At 15, it is illegal for an adult to have sex with that kid.
Sure, it raises question about his parents' job raising the kid, but in the end, that issue doesn't matter, it is illegal for an adult to have sex with a 15 year old.
He won their dragon boat race in Canada!
Their age difference may seem creepy, but the law says it's legal. Beyond that, I don't think it's anyone's place to comment.
He did know her age (she told him). But, 17 is the age of consent in Scotland, so while some people may think it is creepy, nothing about it is illegal.
This girl has no clue. If you want to be a writer, you have to write. Almost no one makes it onto the staff at a studio from an internship. She needs to get her writing out there (anywhere! - online, magazines, newspapers, etc.) and find her voice. She may realize that screen writing is not the type of writing for which she is best suited.
Also, she needs to stop whining.
I competed at a D1 school through college and we NEVER got our laundry done by anyone but ourselves. Kinda ridiculous that some schools apparently do that.
A lot of these aren't necessarily gluten free. A lot of broths and sauces that are used in these dishes aren't always gluten-free (i.e. risotto - a lot of broths have flour in them, pad thai - soy sauce is often not gluten free, salad dressing - a lot of cheap vinegars used in salad dressings are not gluten-free, just to name a few). For people who are mildly gluten-sensitive, this may not be a problem, but for those with celiac, these could be a major problem.
not by guillotine!
I think they meant to say you can't hum with your mouth closed AND nose plugged. Other than making a few random noises, people can't hum if both mouth and nose are blocked.
You can make a few random bursts of sound with your mouth closed and nose plugged, but you can't hum.
