Turtles, Dolphins and Seals, Oh My!
Who Are NASA's Earth Explorers?
The elementary school student questioning if El Niño occurs anywhere besides the Pacific Ocean. The researcher investigating connections between Arctic ozone depletion and global climate change. The citizen scientist interested in how changing land cover and use affects animal migration patterns. And the businessperson projecting future needs for harvest, delivery and storage of crops. All of these people are Earth Explorers -- they are all connected by their curiosity about Earth system processes. This monthly series will introduce you to NASA Earth Explorers, young and old, with a variety of backgrounds and interests.
Nominate an Earth Explorer!
Tell us about the Earth Explorers you know. We're looking for students, teachers, scientists and others who are working with NASA Earth science data and imagery to better understand our home planet. Send your nominations to Dan Stillman:
Arty has a lot of young fans out there. Middle and high school kids are probably his most devoted audience. Some can barely go a day without following his every move.

No, Arty is not a TV show character or the latest craze in talking stuffed animals. He is a harp seal making his way through the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and students at hundreds of schools across the country can't get enough of him.
The seventh- and eighth-graders at Ann Street School in Newark, N.J., are no exception. Through the NASA-sponsored Signals of Spring program, they're able to stay hot on the trail of harp seals and many other marine and land species tagged with small satellite transmitters. Students track the migrating animals using interactive online maps.
Carmen Salgueiro, vice principal of Ann Street, says that Signals of Spring gives students a chance to
science, not just learn about it.
"It's an application of science and technology," she said.
Image to right: Students used many different types of maps to predict the migration of marine and land animals. Credit: Signals of Spring
Students predict and explain the movement of animals by combining location data with maps of topography, vegetation, sea-surface temperature and other variables. Then they present their work in a variety of formats, including research papers, children's books, videos and skits.
"Each kid is allowed to pursue his [or her] own creativity," said Manny Oliveira, an eighth-grade science teacher at Ann Street.
Signals of Spring made its Ann Street debut in 2000 as a program for gifted and talented students, but was quickly expanded to include the entire seventh and eighth grades. The educational content addresses state and local standards in the Earth and life sciences, math, geography and technology.
"It was so good, and such a terrific turn on for science and technology and all the other disciplines that are interrelated, that we felt that we wanted to share it with every student," said Salgueiro, who, along with Principal Joseph Maccia, oversees incorporation of the program into the school's curriculum.
Each year the seventh-grade class precedes its Signals of Spring work with a field trip to a nearby eagle festival. The students cruise the Connecticut River on a research boat looking for bald eagles in their natural habitat. Salgueiro says the annual outing brings to life the animals that the students later track over the computer.
"Middle school children really need the real-life experiences before they can go online and look at virtual things -- so that they have a real background to draw from," Salgueiro said.

Once the Signals of Spring animals -- seals, eagles, turtles, dolphins, swans and more -- begin their spring migration, students are divided into teams, with each team focusing on a different factor that might affect an animal's movement. Weather, vegetation, phytoplankton, bathymetry (topography of the ocean floor) and other elements of the environment can influence the direction and speed of a migrating animal.
In addition to explaining their findings in front of the class, Ann Street students have presented their work to scientists, school teachers and administrators, environmental organizations, and at conferences and workshops. Also, students at the school have entered their Signals of Spring projects into the NASA Student Involvement Program and twice won the competition's top prize.
According to Oliveira, the greatest reward for students is the sense of accomplishment they feel from doing real science.
"They can see that, 'Hey... I'm doing what a meteorologist is doing on TV -- predicting what's going to happen tomorrow," he said. "They feel, 'Wow, you don't need to be [an adult] to do this.'"

These cookies were so easy to make that they really didn't deserve their own post.
But they're still super cute. They tasted like those cookies you buy in a tube! But without having to pop that scary top! I used the Taste of Home recipe for Drop Sugar Cookies. I dipped a few in chocolate because I knew Kevin James would like that.
For myself — I liked them with ice cream.
Actually half that cookie went to Pippa. I'm really not that much of a cookie person. I tried to get Kevin to have an ice cream cookie sandwich, but he passed on it! Weirdo!
I took Pippa Cordelia for a little shorter run today after all her plopping in the shade action yesterday – we covered about 3 miles. Apparently I didn't wear her out ENOUGH today because while I was showering, she felt the need to drop her tennis ball in for me to throw. That's just desperate.
Today was the day that I decided Pippa's stitches were healed enough that I could try picking her up. She DIDN'T SQUIRM A BIT! Isn't that crazy? My little cutie has complete confidence in me. She's seen my burpee muscles!! Lol.
One of the perks of meetings with new clients is that I'm not in pjs when Kevin gets home from work. My prospective piano parent didn't actually show up for her meeting tonight, but instead she called to schedule a first lesson. Better yet! I also got two additional adult students + another elementary student + 2 possible elementary students just today!! Business is rolling in now that school is starting, and I'm elated. I think I'm going to have enough adult students for them to have their own "recitals." I'm envisioning Schubert living room sessions!!
Business to-do list:
- studio bulletin board
- business cards <— I can't believe those aren't done yet
- Composer of the Month Spotify playlist
- client spreadsheet
- piano lamp
- additional seating for parents
- I need a clock because I hate for lessons to end!
- what to do to with the dogs during lessons
- read every single biz ladies post on D*S
Today when I had the dogs locked up, they ate my mascara!!! My one piece of makeup, and they destroyed it. I don't even know who to blame because I came in and they each had one end in their mouth. I never thought to hide that when I was dogproofing! Today I got Paypal set up for my website which was a little tricky, but I've already had parents asking me to pay with credit card so I'm glad I got it done. I also worked on several additional social networking strategies. Those things are time sucks, but they are working!!!!
Finally, a blogger using paint color samples for their intended purpose. Over the weekend the living room is going to be vanilla ice creamed and the dining room is going to be perfect peached! I can't wait! Finally, I own my own home and get to paint rooms colors like pink and orange!
What color would you most like to paint a room? I really want a pink kitchen. But I just don't think it's going to happen with those green countertops. BOO!!!!
What's the most exciting thing on you to-do list this weekend? Everything for the piano studio! Best job ever. I hope it keeps going so well.
Do you have a business card? Not yet… I really should!!! I'm just indecisive and take forever to decide on things.

Police have identified the man they believe raped a juvenile girl in a wooded area of Wheeling Island on Saturday after he became acquainted with her on the Internet.
Wheeling Deputy Police Chief Martin Kimball said the search is on for 24-year-old David Maya of Elkridge, Md., after investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest on four counts of second-degree sexual assault. Kimball described Maya as Hispanic, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 120 pounds. He was reported to be driving a black 2000 Ford Mustang with tinted windows, possibly a convertible, with Maryland license plates.
Kimball said he believed the U.S. Marshals Service was actively searching for Maya in the Maryland area, and noted his "gut feeling" is that Saturday's alleged attack wasn't an isolated incident.

Police have identified 24-year-old David Maya of Maryland as the suspect in the alleged rape of a juvenile girl in a wooded area near Belle Isle Park on Wheeling Island.
"We believe he is either at home or out victimizing another person," Kimball said. "Something tells me this isn't his first go around. ... Hopefully we'll put a long-term stop to his particular activities."
The victim, who lives in Wheeling, told police she had communicated with the man via both the Internet and text message, and they agreed to meet at the Belle Isle baseball field at the north end of Wheeling Island, near where the assault reportedly occurred. Police were notified several hours later, at about 7 p.m. Saturday.
Kimball said the man and girl met in an Internet chat room. The girl, he said, was pretending to be older than she really is and the man was pretending to be younger.
Kimball declined to give the girl's exact age. Investigators initially believed the suspect was also a juvenile but old enough to drive a vehicle, but further investigation led them to Maya.
Kimball didn't say what specific evidence led to that conclusion.
"Parents have to be parents that's rule No. 1. That means keeping an eye on your kid. ... Know where they're at. Pay attention to what they're doing on the computer," Kimball said.
Anyone with information on the case should call Wheeling police dispatch at 304-234-3661.

On Sunday, February 3, the National Football League (NFL) will be hosting the 47th Super Bowl in New Orleans featuring the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens. I predict that the San Francisco 49ers will win. I can't make the game live, so I thought I would bring a little bit of New Orleans to my party by making some gumbo from a recipe I got from the library. If Southern Cooking isn't your style, the library has a large collection of cook books you can browse through to find the right recipes to fit your party or just to try something new.
What will you be making and who will you be rooting for this Super Bowl Sunday?
I love going to the farmers markets at this time of year. I can indulge my love of fresh beets, wonderful, colorful carrots, fresh basil and, most of all, fresh heirloom tomatoes. When heirloom tomatoes are in season, I have Caprese salad with supper almost every night. But they also make wonderful cold soups like gazpacho, they are great on hamburgers, and delicious eaten plain or with just a bit of oil, vinegar and/or salt. If you are looking for information on new ways to eat or serve these wonderful fruits, come to the library we have several books that can give you information on how to grow, serve and preserve these treasures of the garden.
Sushi...It is my favorite. I always ask to go out for Sushi for my birthday or other celebrations.
I am from the Midwest where sushi wasn't something I had heard of before I was in college. I worked at the Missouri Botanical Garden where they hosted a week-long Japanese Festival. It was there, that I first tasted sushi. And it was love at first bite!
I learned to roll my own sushi using books from the library. It isn't hard and you don't need raw fish to be a successful sushi chef. Good news in a land-locked state. One of the first rolls I made was Korean Sushi - which features grilled beef. I call it "gateway sushi" because people who think sushi is just raw fish usually really like it!
You can do it too - just check out one of these books and get rolling!

At this time of year, nothing warms me up like a nice hot bowl of soup or stew. I love to cook, so even though it would be very easy to just go to a store and choose from the varieties they offer, I like to make a big batch of soup or stew and have it to eat with a sandwich for lunch or for an appetizer at dinner for several days. Since I also have high blood pressure, I am also conscious of the amount of fat and salt that can be in those packaged soups and stews and can adust the amounts of those ingredients. Interested in making a big pot of comfort food to warm you up on a cold winter night? Come check out our selections of cookbooks. The variety of soup and stew recipies will astound you--from delicious creamy soups to hearty, "meaty" stews. You may even find a new favorite recipie to keep your tummy warm and full on a cold, damp winter night.
I've got a fridge full of leftovers and I'm not going to let them go to waste! Let's take a minute or two to go over our leftover options...
Nadia G's Bitchin Kitchen: Cooking for Trouble by Nadia G is the star of a new quirky cooking show and this book brings some of what she shares to the printed page. In this book, she has a recipe for frittata using leftovers.
I regularly use leftover pasta and some fresh vegetables and a couple of eggs to make a frittata for breakfast or brunch. It sounds fancy and tastes great too!
Maya Angelou's cookbook, Great Food, All Day Long: Cook Splendidly, Eat Smart is a downloadable ebook that has a section on leftovers.
I know I'm going to be putting the ham into a casserole and drench it with barbque sauce to make barbque ham sandwiches later this week. That is sure to be a hit with my meat and potatoes husband!
Cookbooks that focus on cooking once to make many meals are also good places to get inspiration for leftover makeovers... Better Homes and Gardens Make Ahead Cooking does just that!
Another leftover meal I'm planning on is turkey mole which will become the center of a pan of enchiladas! There's an easy turkey mole recipe on the How Stuff Works website.
Now here's your chance to share - What do you do with Your leftovers?
Have you ever wondered what life would be like with a different kind of job? While it may be fun to dream about all the possibilities, most of us will never know what it would be like to make our living as a food critic for one of the most prestigious newspapers in the nation. Luckily we can all live vicariously by reading Garlic and Sapphires, Ruth Reichl's bestselling memoir about that very thing – her time as the restaurant reviewer for the New York Times. It turns out the position also has qualities of being an actress, diplomat, secret shopper, and celebrity in addition to the more obvious comparison of writer with a chef's palate.
As in Ms. Reichl's other books, favorite recipes are sprinkled throughout. Additionally, the reprinted reviews which follow chapters describing the events leading up to and through the restaurant visits are so beautifully crafted and the food described in such sensuous detail that they are just as entertaining to read several years after their original printing in the paper. As readers we are conscious not only of the appreciation of the glorious food itself but also of the extravagant use of words to convey the atmosphere of the entire experience. Along the way we also find out about creative costuming, newsroom rivalries and relationships.
Reading Ruth Reichl's books will encourage you not just to eat, but to savor. One word of warning, you may get very hungry…

Elsewhere you will find a letter written by the Powder Springs Attorney Richard Calhoun of Calhoun, Brock & Clay law firm.
They have been the City attorney for at least 12 years. As pointed out elsewhere our city has never formally sent out for a bid for services.
The tab for legal services each year can run into the $170,000 range plus any special work that needs to be done such as condemnation of land for property which came up quite a bit when the Lewis Road project was built. So any good law firm would like to have the City's business.
I thought my own personal relationship with the attorneys that they sent to our meetings was quite good. Many members during the past two years have been somewhat uneasy with the advice or non-advice that we were getting.
At one point we were considering another Law Firm but that fell through and no further efforts were made to at least review the services that were being offered by Brock-Clay-Calhoun. I should add that they also represent the Cobb School Board which is problems enough.
The CCSB has had problems with the open meetings law on several occasions. This has been widely reported in the MDJ newspaper.
My last column, critical of myself, the Mayor and council, is what prompted Calhoun to write the letter and no doubt the Mayor's insistence. From what I know the Council did not give their consent to this happening and of course was not asked.
She simply told the Interim city Manager to have Calhoun answer. In my column I question the Mayor and Council holding "Closed" meetings of which a part should have been open.
Please read the column and comments for more information.
In Richard's response he states that if a complaint had been filed the city or He would have received notice. Not so. The fines for our infractions would be, currently $100 for each session.
There is legislation, pushed by the Attorney General (AG) Sam Olens and the First Amendment Foundation, that raise that fine to $1,000. The AG has lots to deal with of a very serious nature.
I am not suggesting that our matter is piddly but does not rise to the occasion where he would drop everything and conduct an investigation of us. It will happen, just be patient.
Elsewhere he points out areas where matters can be discussed within the permitted area of personnel. I don't question these, of course if you are hiring a City Manager (which seems to happen often) you will discuss pay, duties and such.
But you simply must stay on topic, thats all I wrote about. And yes, some of us would object to these going way off course. It would have been nice if the City Attorney and the Mayor would have kept the meetings on target and to topic but they simply did not, period.
I could point out where it is highly questionable the we held a personnel closed session to begin with. That involved several meetings where we discussed contracting out the Sanitation business. This might be a gray area because 10 persons would have lost their job.
Still, I think that there is a wider issue here of the Publics Right-to-Know about a change or potential change of something very important to most of our citizens. We never went through with it because extra money was found so that contracting the service out would not be necessary. But then, I wrote about all of this in one of my previous columns.
I am told that some council members are unhappy that I write these columns. But then I also receive thanks from some Council members who, like me, think that it is simply about time.
An old saying goes that sunshine is the best disinfectant. That is the story behind the "Sunshine Law" aka Open Meetings, Open Records. I don't write these columns to make enemies of former friends.
If that's the way it turns out then so be it. But then I also value the rights of all citizens I represented for years.
Next time, the Fanning Report and Economic Development.
10:13 pm on Sunday, March 25, 2012
What is it with ex council members these days? The last two that lost an election just can't seem to let it go, and are constantly taking pot shots at their former fellow council members about one thing or another.
Coincidentally, it's usually about something these two participated in themselves while they were on the council.
Trying to disguise resentment at losing an election as a newly found public concern for operations at city hall doesn't score points with most people.
Suggest they take a look at some of their predecessors ( Chastain, Bedsole, and Mellichamp, for example) who exited with class.
Richard Calhoun
9:00 am on Monday, March 26, 2012
You and I go back a long way. You go back much further with the city than I do.
We both know the processes and procedures in the city pretty well.
When the mayor and council meet to discuss matters in executive session, seated at the table are a group of adults who I'm satisfied are capable of determining if the discussion stays true to the purpose for which the meeting was called.
For the past 7 or 8 years at least, you were one of the ones at the table, too.
Richard Calhoun
12:54 pm on Monday, March 26, 2012
@ Dwayne, anyone who has a modicum of common sense knows that when on you're on the council your options to comment or rail against whats goes on publicly is limited. As one who has fought against the powers that be on occasion its liberating to be a private citizen who doesn't have their hands tied in voicing opposition to mismanagement, cronyism and general incompetence of elected officials.......

The RailHawks have always been about playing attractive soccer and a big part of that is scoring goals. In 2011, the top two goal scorers in the NASL were RailHawks: Etienne Barbara with 20 goals and Pablo Campos with 12. This year, the RailHawks again boasted one of the top two scorers in Nick Zimmerman with 15 goals, with the league-leader being Campos.
The RailHawks also led the league as a team in the 2011 season with 50 goals scored, an NASL record. Puerto Rico and Tampa Bay came in tied at second with 41. In 2012, the RailHawks came in second with 44 goals, only trailing San Antonio by two.
Overall, 37 players in the league scored three or more goals in the 2012 regular season, seven of whom are RailHawks. Fort Lauderdale, Puerto Rico and Tampa Bay all trail with five players each with three or more goals.
Leading the RailHawks is Zimmerman, but not far behind is Brian Shriver who scored 10 goals in all competitions this year. Shriver won the U.S. Open Cup scoring title with five goals in three games. His five league goals are matched by Tiyi Shipalane, followed by Zack Schilawski with four. Brian Ackley, Jason Garey and Mike Palacio round out the RailHawks with three goals each.
RailHawks Head Coach Colin Clarke believes the players, not the coach, dictate the style of play, and this year's roster is stacked with creative and offensive-minded players.
"Zimmerman has obviously gotten the bulk of our goals, which has been great," said Clarke. "But the goals have been pretty well spread around a group between Shipalane and Shriver, to Schilawski, Ackley, Garey and Palacio. We have a lot of exciting players who like to attack and play attractive soccer for our fans."
The RailHawks have had 15 multiple goal games in 2012 (13 NASL matches and two U.S. Open Cup), averaging 1.74 goals a game, and have only been shut out in six of their 31 games this year. In a three game U.S. Open Cup run, the RailHawks managed to find the back of the net nine times, twice against reigning MLS Champions L.A. Galaxy.
In many different matches, various players have stepped up to score when needed, making it hard for opposing teams to keep the ball out of their goal.
While the players have made the difference on the field, Clarke has created an environment of exciting, attack-focused soccer and brought in the right players to thrive in this atmosphere. RailHawks President Curt Johnson saw Clarke's philosophy and tactics and brought him to Carolina to replace Martin Rennie, who left to become the head coach of MLS's Vancouver Whitecaps, and continue the tradition of electrifying soccer in Cary.
The RailHawks return to action at WakeMed Soccer Park in the NASL Quarterfinals on September 29th at 7p.m. against Fort Lauderdale. The two matchups between the RailHawks and Strikers at WakeMed this year held a total of 12 goals, so don't miss the exciting action. Tickets for the match can be purchased through the Cruizers Box Office by calling (919) 459-8144 or by visiting www.CarolinaRailHawks.com

No, no. Not that. Still pregnant. And rather uncomfortably pregnant at that, seeing as Lambchop's head has descended even lower according to today's check by the local midwife. I'm now torn: do I go on a long, long walk tomorrow hoping to trigger her arrival, like I did with Ramekin. Or do I take it easy and attempt to wait until Monday's planned inducement, which will see me safely in hospital with reinforcements in the form of my BIL back at home (he arrives on Sunday to help with the boys).
Anyway, the pink I'm referring to is a small second-hand bike I recently picked up at a charity shop for a whopping £5. I couldn't resist it because, well, it was £5; upon closer inspection, the front brakes looked like they could easily be adjusted and fixed (by G, not me); training wheels could be added; and, the big selling point, its wheels were two inches smaller in diameter than Ramekin's little bike, which is just that too out of reach for BooBaaa's feet to reach the pedals. (Which he's desperate to do, despite Ramekin's attempts to thwart him --after all, it is Ramekin's bike.) And eventually, it will probably serve Lambchop's 'first bike' needs, too.
So I brought it home and scrubbed it clean. G adjusted the brakes and attached some new training wheels to it. And voilà! A BooBaaa-sized bike for him to try!
And on Saturday, he donned his bicycle helmet, climbed on excitedly, and tried it out on the driveway.
<---- And if you click on the picture to blow it up, you will see the pure joy on his little face!
Boo was so happy and proud of himself. And also a little frustrated at times as he hasn't completely mastered pedalling, especially 'uphill'. But it's coming, and I suspect he'll be whizzing around the driveway sooner rather than later.
Not to be outdone in the 'trying something new' department, Ramekin wanted to try biking without his training wheels. So, after explaining that he would not only have to wear his helmet, but elbow and knee pads too if we removed the training wheels, G removed them so he could give it a try. And Ramekin happily climbed on and ... panicked a bit. But he insisted on trying in spite of his fear for a few runs, so long as G held on.
I wasn't quite sure he was ready, either, at first. But then G let go and Ramekin actually biked, without training wheels, down most of the driveway on his own, and stopped himself easily by putting his foot down.
And decided he wanted his training wheels back on for a little bit longer.
Which, I think, is fair enough. He did just turn four after all, and we haven't been doing a whole lot of biking this year as we've only just hit the nice weather. I think a few more weeks of summer biking with training wheels will give him the needed confidence to try again without them.
And give BooBaaa time to sort out his pedalling logistics, pink or no pink.
And then I suspect there will be no stopping the duo, who already spend a great deal of time whizzing about the neighborhood on their scooters when we go on our walks.
Oh, and have I mentioned that BooBaaa is not phased in the slightest by Ramekin's new two-wheeled laser scooter, easily manoeuvring it up and down the driveway when he gets the chance? Scarily-coordinated kid, that one. I think I'm a little afraid . .. . impressed . . . but afraid.

I think it's wonderful. (Not that you're uncomfortable.) Being coordinated is a good thing. I had the privilege of being a team leader at field day today and got to see some really athletic kids, which I would otherwise never experience, as mine are decidedly not.
Hang in there. Me, I'd try to wait, I think, though I remember not wanting to wait AT ALL when in your condition. - 16/6/09 11:57 PM

Impressive boys!
A neighboring family (with four kids) had a tiny purple bike that each child on the block borrowed to learn to ride. It was so little and easy to maneuver. - 17/6/09 4:46 AM

Wow! That is impressive. My six year old still doesn't want to ride his bike without training wheels.
In my experience there is absolutely nothing you can do to induce labor. I've tried it all. It always happens when you least expect it. So you might as well enjoy your weekend and save yourself the frustration. ;) - 17/6/09 8:11 PM

Like all your visitors I am eagerly awaiting news of Lambchop's arrival, and hope all goes well, with a nice easy quick labour.

pink is just light red ;) (and really, who ever decided it was only for girls, anyways? I'd like to kick their behind...)
it's June 20th, my B-day, and I think it would be just delightful if you've given birth today. :) - 21/6/09 3:07 AM

Here's hoping that you've had an easy labor, that Lambchop is here and healthy and that on this American "Father's Day" your spouse is celebrating being the father of THREE!

About the Program
The ability to lead is not an inborn phenomenon reserved for a select few. Rather, individuals can be taught sound principles of ethical leadership, which in turn can be applied successfully to the modern workplace with positive results. Leadership involves the ability to articulate visions, create missions, establish goals, develop teams, embrace change, and motivate others while maintaining the highest ethical standards in business practice. The concentration in leadership provides students with the necessary foundations in critical thinking and leadership principles to enable their development as ethical leaders capable of succeeding in multiple organizational settings.
The Business Administration and Economics Department at Roanoke College has a highly integrated curriculum culminating in a capstone business policy class. This core of classes is supplemented by several areas of concentrated study including accounting, finance, marketing, human resource management, health care administration, and global business. The leadership concentration has added a new dimension to the curriculum. This is a concentration that few undergraduate colleges offer, and (to our knowledge) the close relationship with an innovation firm is not available at any other college.
The direct alliance with Roanoke Valley businesses allows the College to develop a leadership program that focuses on developing professionals to be able to deal with the complexities of leading others and teams in an innovative organizational environment. The principles taught in this new curriculum will focus on how leaders must continuously transform organizations in order to remain viable in the 21st century hypercompetitive marketplace. The 20th century-style "status-quo" management practices must be redesigned around leadership practices which encompass vision, innovation, and employee empowerment. Much has been written about the "creative economy" or "innovative organization" as the future of American industry, and this concentration recognizes and prepares our students to thrive in this environment. Additionally, the alliance with business will further refine the concentration and its content on a continual basis so that the curriculum is current and dynamic.
The leadership concentration includes the following core courses:
- BUAD 264 Foundations of Leadership
- BUAD 364 Team Dynamics
- BUAD 374 Conflict Management in the Workplace
- BUAD 464 Advanced Topics in Leadership
In addition two courses must be selected from:
- BUAD 354 Human Resource Management
- COMM 220 Public Speaking
- COMM 217 Business Communication
- PHIL 222 Business Ethics
- POLI 301 Public Administration
- PSYC 325 Social Psychology OR SOCI 336 Organizations, Occupations and Work
Compilation of Credit Form for Concentrations
Students Learn How to Start a Business
Course involves case studies, an advanced business simulation, workshops, labs, readings of top-tier articles and lectures on strategy.

CompostingBackyard Hot or Cold Composting |
In the natural world, composting happens as leaves and other organic materials pile up on the forest floor and begin to decay. Eventually, the soil reclaims the material, which provides nutrients to the living plants nearby. Backyard composting is simply a method for speeding up the natural process. The critical ingredients in a compost pile are air, water, browns and greens. Browns are the source of carbon. Browns are dry materials such as dried leaves, wood chips, evergreen leaves, paper and straw. Greens are the source of nitrogen. Greens are moist, fresh materials such as grass clippings, manure, blood or cottonseed meal, coffee grounds and fruit and vegetable scraps. |
A Basic Approach to Backyard Hot Composting (Quick method)
Compost is ready when the heat of decompostion has dissipated and most of the original ingredients are unrecognizable. |
A Basic Approach to Backyard Cold Composting (Easy method)Some people may opt for the cold composting method. Simply add organic materials to a pile or bin as they are generated. Add water from time to time to achieve the moisture content of a wrung out sponge and in six months to a year, the bottom portion of the pile will be a rich compost. Materials to Avoid in the Compost Pile
How to Use the CompostTo maintain a lawn or garden, sprinkle a half-inch layer of sifted compost on it once each year and water it in. Mix 3 inches of compost into the top 8 to 10 inches of soil for intensive gardening. Use compost as about one-third of a potting soil mix to add nutrients and to control fungus. |

The stuff that Mark McGwire left in plain sight for all to see — or at least for an AP writer to see — and as a result brought the steroid issue to the masses. Without andro it might have taken us a bit longer to catch on to the cheaters.
Too bad andro won't do anything for you.
Yep, nothing.
What's funny about this whole thing is that the only study to show that androstenedione can raise serum testosterone levels was funded by Major League Baseball. And this study did NOT find evidence that andro can help build muscle mass or improve athletic performance.
Besides this study there is hardly any real evidence that andro can do anything significant for anybody.
However, one thing is for sure; Mark McGwire did not get huge because he used andro.
The study sponsored by Major League Baseball and conducted by the Harvard Medical School showed that 14 people who took 300 mgs of andro daily had their testosterone levels raised 34 percent, and one third of these subjects had their levels rise above the normal range. I'm not sure what one third of 14 is when you're talking about people, but let's say five people had their levels rise above normal levels.
I don't know if I need to state the obvious, but this means that for the other nine people in this group who had their testosterone levels rise, their levels were raised within the normal range. Therefore, these people wouldn't enjoy the benefits of increased muscle mass or improved athletic performance … if there were any … which there aren't.
Within this group the researchers noted that andro had a different effect on different individuals and that the data suggests, "that certain people may be more or less sensitive" to andro.
There were other people in this study as well. The 15 people who received 100 mgs of andro, and the 13 poor saps in the placebo group who got nothing and liked it, didn't show any increases in their testosterone levels.
So the entire "andro hullabaloo" is basically due to the five people who had their testosterone levels raised above normal levels. There's no indication in this study with regards to how high above normal the testosterone levels were raised and if these levels were raised enough above normal – at or near levels seen in testosterone supplementation - to result in any benefits. Folks, this is hardly a grand slam. This is not even as good as anecdotal evidence.

Pulman's View from Crewkerne (defunct)
It was founded in 1993 as the Crewkerne Advertiser. In 2006 it was renamed the View from Crewkerne and incorporated into a View from… series covering much of East Devon. From 2009 the series was renamed Pulman's View from… and published as companions to Pulman's Weekly News, the Tindle Newspapers group's paid-for title for the East Devon, West Dorset and South Somerset area. (Pulman's Weekly News was absorbed into the Axminster edition of the series in July 2012.) The Pulman's editorial offices were (and are) in Axminster.
It came out on Thursdays.
In April 2012 Tindle acquired the View from… series for West Dorset and South Somerset. Pulman's View from Crewkerne was dropped in favour of the Crewkerne Weekender as a result.

Onggy Hianata: Create Prominent Value, Achieve Life Dream
Personal Profile: Onggy Hianata, an Indonesian, was born into poverty but he refused to become mediocre, so he always struggles to change his life. In his childhood, he used to farm and chop wood. During his college study period, he ever worked and did small business at his spare time. After having graduated, he served as a manager for a large-scale company, and in 1992 he started to engage in Direct Sales Marketing. After serving as a part-time distributor for a well-known Direct Sales company for two years, he decided to do the job on a full time base and had insisted to work as a distributor for 7 years. Since April 2007, he joined in WINALITE INTERNATIONAL and has been continuously working till now. He determines to assist more people in achieving success. "To value my life, I have to do something extraordinary for mankind. For myself, my family, my community, my country, and my world." ——Onggy Hianata At the large-scale 2010 WINALITE INTERNATIONAL Global Congress, Onggy Hianata and his team members from Indonesia were awarded "Best Cohesiveness Prize" and "Most Prominent Contribution Prize". Shining medals gleam upon their arduous work and extraordinary talents and two prizes construe their ambition and unceasing endeavors. Onggy said, "To value my life, I have to do something extraordinary for mankind. For myself, my family, my community, my country, and my world." Unceasing Struggle for the Long-Cherished Dream As Heaven's movement is ever-vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive along. Onggy Hianata, born in a poor family at Tarakan Island in Indonesia, always had a dream since his childhood; he would like to change his and his families' fate to live a well-off life. In order to achieve this dream, he continuously struggled. To contribute to his family's income, Onggy assisted his parents in farming since he was eight years old. He once worked on a small farm, chopping wood in forestry. Hardship during childhood enabled Onggy to understand life better than people in his age, and it also helped build Onggy's optimistic and persevering personality as well as his hard-working traits. After having grown up, Onggy could bear the work that is tough to ordinary people because he knew that tough work was the only way for him to achieve his dream. To achieve this long-cherished dream, Onggy went to Surabaya for college study after he graduated from a high school. Meanwhile, he worked for small companies and did small business at his spare time, However, he did not achieve remarkable success. After graduation, Onggy served as a manager in a large-scale company. With great ambition, he worked hard but kept a close eye on improving his career platform. In 1992, he first set foot in the Direct Sales sector after being recommended by his colleague, whereby he joined into a well-known Direct Sales enterprise. When starting with an all-new marketing mode, Onggy first served as the part-time distributor in the company. Two years later, he dedicated himself to Direct Sales and served the company for 7 years. Meanwhile, he learned a lot and acquired more and more knowledge in this industry. Gradually, he grew from an industry recruit into a senior marketing personnel, with business developing larger and larger. Join in WINALITE to Make New Achievements One night, Onggy went to Kuala Lumpur for business and his Filipino friend invited him to participate in a product demonstration. After arriving at the demonstration site, Onggy was stunned by the demonstrated product-WINALITE INTERNATIONAL's sanitary napkins, neither the company nore the product was known to him. However, such quality product left a deep impression on Onggy's memory after the product demonstration. The next day, Onggy met the Chairman of WINALITE INTERNATIONAL Mr. Vincent Chen. Through an open and frank discussion, Onggy learned of Mr. Chen's mission, vision, and dream for WINALITE INTERNATIONAL operations and he admired Mr. Chen's farsighted thinking and great ambition, so he joined in WINALITE INTERNATIONAL in April, 2007. When the company was newly established and the product was unknown to the public, it was hard for the entrepreneur to grab shares from the fierce market competition and carve out his own space. So far, Onggy has a deep understanding of this. "While developing WINALITE services in Indonesia, I really experienced a great number of challenges, but with my own dream, vision, and responsibility, I have continued with business until today. I've enjoyed the ups and downs in my industry, and the industry has not only given me fortune, health, and meaningful time, but has also enriched my life." Looking back upon the development history, Onggy said that he should extend his thanks to Mr. Vincent Chen and his management team for such a fabulous career platform by which all Winaliters can exert their talents and give full swing to their potential. In Onggy's team many members achieved progress in health, wealth, and time. Of which, about 1,000 members gave up smoking after joining the team, and 300 members got rid of their dependence on alcohol and drugs. More importantly, many members rebuilt their own confidence, improved their interpersonal relationship and leadership skills, and improved their capacity for communication.

UE will end up once again in the CIT----NOT the NIT. This year, the NIT will have the likes of North Carolina and Kentucky. So, UE will not be going to the NIT.
As others have posted and as I have repeatedly said, AD John Stanley will keep Marty as the head coach because he is the lowest paid coach in the MVC. UE is not going to pay big bucks for a big name coach. Plus, John Stanley will keEp Marty until his son graduates in 4 or 5 years. Then, John Stanley will "promote" Marty to Assistant AD for 1 to 2 years under him until Stanley retires. Stanley will then "promote" Marty to Athletic Director.
These are excellent questions for Jonathan Lintner to ask Marty Simmons. But, will he ask them, or be a press release puppet for UE? Matter of fact, these questions should also be asked by Lance Wilkerson on the post-game radio show after the game. BUT, we all know Lance is not going to ask these types of questions because Marty got him his job. Mike Blake should also ask the types of questions ON THE tv SHOW ON 14. But, he will not ask them either.

Manchester City's star Sergio Aguero has split up from him wife Giannia Maradona. She is the youngest daughter of the Argentine World Cup winner Diego Maradona.
It is believed that she will now be living in Madrid, permanently, with their son Benjamin, who is three years old.
Giannina, who is 23-years old herself, confirmed the break-up on Twitter.
She said "we're separated" and added it was "a difficult year" and "there's been a lot of changes".
Aguero is still quiet over the matter and he had never spoken of his marriage since the time they had been. Their marriage lasted for four years and it is believed that Giannina's party lifestyle has caused the break-up.
Interestingly, Giannina has also been linked to the singer Karina Tejeda. She has denied all such rumours.
On Twitter, a fan tweeted to Giannina saying: "Aguero doesn't deserve you. He's stupid and an idiot."
However, she replied: "Don't say that, he's the father of my son and he's nothing like what you say he is."
She added: "When a couple finish it's both their faults."

Cardiac Perfusion Scan
How It Feels
The cardiac scanning test itself is painless.
- You may feel a brief stinging or burning sensation when the IV is inserted into your vein.
- You may be uncomfortable lying still for an extended period of time on the table during the scans.
- If medicine to stress your heart is used, you may have symptoms of mild nausea, headache, dizziness, flushing, or chest pain. These symptoms only last a few minutes.
- If you are asked to exercise, you may have chest pain, breathlessness, lightheadedness, aching in your leg muscles, and fatigue. Report these to the technician. If the symptoms are severe, the exercise part of the test may be stopped.
- You will be asked to remain very still during each scan, which takes about 5 to 10 minutes. The camera will move to take more pictures at different angles. Several scans will be taken.

it to Oahu and the University of Hawaii. Three years later and lots of surf, I was back on Maui ready to make a name for myself. Having come to the realization that surfing for a living was out of the question (the pros at that time made less than waiters) my mom convinced me that to have a real-estate license couldn't hurt. 1982 seems like a life time ago now but you know what they say "always listen to your mother".
Real-estate has been good to me. What other industry can you work in that mandates fun.
I used to joke that I made my best contacts while in the water. Guess what, its true. I have been blessed with meeting some of the most incredible people through my work and having the pleasure of helping them purchase their dream properties. Don't get me wrong, I have a strict business ethic, WORK HARD PLAY HARD. After setting up my own office in 1991 I soon learned the down side of being the boss of a real-estate firm, if you spend all your time keeping your sales people busy you don't have time to make any sales. You may remember the early nineties were not that friendly to realtors, or any one for that matter. Back to basics, I downsized my office and started doing what I love, meeting fantastic people and helping them purchase their dream.
It sure is easy to fall into that rut called reality. Home, office, cars, mortgages, kids (love the Kids) and all the responsibilities that come with "success". Is there still time to surf? Oh Ya, you make time. Having made a yearly migration chasing the big ones through the South Pacific and the Indian Oceans I can tell you from experience that nothing motivates me to work harder than a good surf trip.
Summer on Maui has taken off like a shot!! The Real estate market in Hawaii is holding steady and volume is even up a little from last year and prices on homes and condos are up over 20% over last June. If you have been waiting to buy on Maui Now is the Time. Prices are up and based on sales statistics it looks like sellers are willing to wait for their price.
Remember the only time you know you have seen the bottom of a market is when you are looking back at it. So, don't miss this opportunity to take advantage of this combination of historically low mortgage rates and the large number of great deals on Maui.
After a fantastic surf trip to Indonesia this spring I have so busy that I have not even had time to plan my next big adventure, that is not say I have not found a few hours here and there to catch some of the amazing summer waves we have been getting here on Maui.
If you want to work with one of Hawaii 's Top 100 Realtor's (7 of the last 8 years) then give me a call and let's talk about what you are looking to do in the Hawaii Real Estate Market.
