Some sexual assault victims in D.C. say the Police Department is not doing enough to respond to their concerns. And the MPD is now responding to a report about how they've handled these cases.
There have been five recent sexual assaults, all in Northeast D.C. and all are unsolved.
The most recent attack happened Tuesday on Gault Place NE where police said a man riding a mountain bike attacked a 23-year-old woman early Tuesday.
According to the police report, the suspect forced her behind a house at gunpoint and raped her. Afterwards, she managed to get to Minnesota Avenue, where she called 911.
A human rights watch report claims that more than a hundred reported sexual assaults in the city have not been properly investigated by the D.C. Police Department. The group claims that in more than half of those cases, police reports were not filed at the scene. The D.C. Police Department says there could be good reasons for that.
Friday, City Council will take a look at the entire situation.

"Great Performer for the Money"
5.0 starson by D-HolmesPros: Very small and easy to carry.
Touchscreen menu is intuitive
Very good wide and long zoom
Surprisingly good screen image
Very good image stabilizationCons: View screen can be hard to see in bright daylight
Photo quality is barely adequateSummary: I bought this as an inexpensive backup to my pricier Canon Vixia to go on motorcycle trips, boats etc so if I killed it it would not be a financial disaster. It exceeded my expectation.
If you will buy the HDR-CX130 I suggest you have to check for best deal before you decide at: bestdealschecking.info/sony-hdrcx130
Good points:
Very small and easy to carry.
The touchscreen menu is intuitive and offers lots of in camera editing features for this price.
Very good wide and long zoom. No accessory wide angle lens needed but I recommend a polarized filter in very bright situations.
Surprisingly good screen image for the price - would definitely satisfy most non professional users. Colours are true and detail is crisp.
Focusing can sometimes be a touch slow but the feature that allows you to follow focus by touching the subject on the screen works really well.
Very good image stabilization which you need for a light camera with a long zoom.
The supplied battery is good for two hours and most people won't need to buy a backup. You can leave the charger at home and use the USB cable in the camera plugging it into your computer or similar power supply - quite cool as the charger is bigger than the camera.
Takes cheaper easier to get SD cards as well as Sony memory stick.
Bad points
View screen can be hard to see in bright daylight but improves if you wear polaroid glasses and shadow the screen with your body or hand. As the screen is polarized you will see the full brightness even with your glasses on but the rest of what you see will be shaded. Not nearly as bright and clear as my Vixia but usable.
Photo quality is barely adequate. Carry a still camera
In extremely high contrast bright situations highlights can burn out - a neutral density or polaroid filter helps this but it doesn't happen a lot.
Indoor shooting is fine with good room light. It can be a bit grainy and there is no infra red nightshot but it is not a $1200 camera, not for paranormal hunters so it should satisfy most people.
( If you will buy the HDRCX130 I suggest you have to check for best deal before you decide at: *********.info/Sony-HDRCX130 )
Summary - Well built tiny camera that will give you quite good video and sound.
Updated on Nov 30, 2011
Hope this helps.

The Rotary Interact club hosted an assembly at Louisiana High School on Friday Feb. 15.
The assembly represented the culmination of a three-week long fundraiser resulting in a staff member and two students kissing a bulldog for charity.
For the past few weeks students and community members have voted for the staff member that they would like to see kiss a bulldog for charity.
Votes were cast by placing money into jars labeled with the staff members' names. Dr. James Ellis was the hands down winner raising over $70 by himself!
Interact members Kelsey Henderson and Stephanie Crawford won the teacher's choice contest, raising $26 each to tie for the event.
The contest raised $230 for the Interact Club, which plans to use the money to set up a community garden.

With so many CE devices streaming online goodies, it's hard to appreciate your old Blu-ray player. However, a little company called Orb Networks wants to make that old device new again—or at least start streaming some new content.
The company just announced Orb BR, software that incorporates streaming media into any web-connected Blu-ray player. Pop in the $20 disc, and soon you'll be streaming the likes of Netflix, Hulu Plus, YouTube, Amazon Video on Demand, Comedy Central, and more.
If you're looking to get your smartphone in on the action, the Orb BR is also compatible with the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android devices, and even your home computer.
Aside from adding that entertainment to your daily routine, the Orb BR promises HD output at 720p and 1080p resolution. Very interesting!
"The combined cost of a Blu-ray player and Orb BR software is less expensive than most of the other Internet TV solutions, like Boxee and Google TV, while providing more capabilities," said Joe Costello, Orb's CEO. "With more than eight million connected Blu-ray players and 40 million PS3 players already in homes, the market opportunity for Orb BR is huge."
Orb says that the Orb BR software will be available on the Orb website starting late next month.

"Chicago's Classic Restaurants: Past, Present & Future" Authors Neal Samors and Eric Bronsky Share Stories September 12
Neal Samors and Eric Bronsky, co-authors of Chicago's Classic Restaurants: Past, Present & Future, will share stories about this city's most famous restaurants from pre-1900 through the present on Wednesday, September 12 at 7 pm at Oak Park Public Library, 834 Lake Street.
Samors and Bronsky will show photos and remember the classics like Henrici's, The Bakery, Le Perroquet, The Berghoff, The Pump Room, The Cape Cod Room, The Walnut Room, and Gordon among many others. Then the authors will review how Richard Melman and Lawrence Levy introduced a new type of fun restaurant atmosphere in Chicago restaurants that ranged from R.J. Grunts, D.B. Kaplan, and Fritz That's It! to Lawrence of Oregano and Jonathan Livingston Seafood.
The two authors will note how the restaurant scene turned more upscale with traditional classic restaurants that included Ambria and Le Francais which preceded Everest, Tru, Trio, and Spiaggia. They will trace the road Chicago has traveled to achieve its status with world-class restaurants with "rock star" owners and chefs including Grant DePorter of Harry Caray's, Chef Tony Mantuano of Spiaggia, Chef Rick Bayless of Frontera Grill and Topolobampo, and Chef Grant Achatz of Alinea and Next.
Neal Samors, a Chicago native and award-winning author, co-author and/or publisher of 20 books about Chicago, Lake Shore Drive, and The Magnificent Mile.
Eric Bronsky is a freelance writer, historian, photographer and transit enthusiast. Enthralled with Chicago's restaurants since his youth, Eric has accumulated a collection of menus, postcards, photos, and other restaurant memorabilia which provide many of the illustrations in this book.

The resignation of one of South Korea's most popular stars from one of its most-watched TV shows is the most visible sign of the change that is roiling through the nation's media industry as new TV stations are getting ready to launch later this year. Coming up this week, a strike by media workers who want the new TV stations to forced not to sell advertising on their own, relying instead on a government broker whose monopoly grip on the nation's ad industry has already been deemed unconstitutional.
Korea Real Time provides sharp analysis and insight into what's making news on the Korean peninsula. We chronicle the growing pains of South Korea — a country that has skyrocketed into the club of the world's richest nations but now faces significant headwinds, and shine a spotlight on one of the world's biggest geopolitical flashpoints: North Korea.

Been a long time stalker of CA, bout 2 years now, finally worked up the huevos...and artwork to finally post some of my own work.
Been focusing on learning 3D for the past two years. Want to start sketching again and improve...a lot in that department, as well as using photoshop and painter for concepts and such.
Anyhoo, here is my first complete concept ever done in photoshop. It's a drop ship for a full conversion video game mod. I'm currently modeling this among other 3D assets for the game. I will be posting 3D work I've done as well as some other junk.Similar Threads

I scrounged up a couple of first attempt concepts of the drop ship. I started these using pen on paper. One of them I added type to in photoshop, and the other I added some texture and highlights. Also a cannon concept for the DS.

Beautiful work man, cant wait to see more...
Wow! Thanks for the kind words fellas. Really means a lot...Reject, I've been following your work for some time. And TheDirt, really digging all your work, the design and logos too...a real pro!
Ok, time for some 3D. Sorry about the size of the images, but didn't want to lose any quality since I just have the jpegs, can't find the original tiffs/psd files at the moment.
I'll put some more 2D stuff up next.
i like your work from what i can see.. post more pls! cheers!
Nice crafts and 3D models. I have noticed you have the crafts mainly from side view. Can you draw them in perspective? I am trying to learn it by sketching small not detailed crafts. Hope to see more of your work soon .
Thanks jMarkus and Fregy.
Fregy, pretty much all of these concepts I posted so far were for 3D modeling purposes. That's why they are either just front, or side views, or both...plus, I have a hard time with perspective, another thing I need to work on. And with that, here is some non-perspective character stuff.

Ok, so I found the original concept for the creature I posted previously. I think I like the original better now that I'm looking at it. I also found a couple of McDoodles about the size of my thumb...I tend to draw a lot of those but end up losing or tossing 'em. I did buy a pocket sketchbook last week so now I don't have to find scraps of paper around the office to draw on. Still use the trusty 'ol bic pen though.
hey there...
Was thinkin the same about the creature, that it looks better sketched.
I also have that all the time, after colouring I always lose a lot of crispyness and details...think we just need more practice haha...
Keep it up...Cya
Thanks ghoulio, practice is always good...was out of practice for quite some time myself, and just trying to play catch up at this point.
Still working on the game mod, put the drop ship modeling aside to work on a couple props as we're trying to get the first playable level completed. Right now I'm finishing up the hi-res version of a containment unit and will model the lo-res version and texture it once I'm finished with that.
I put up some quick concept sketches of it I made in my pocket sketchbook...as well as a simple shader render of just the unit that holds the containee. As well as a quick paint-over of some decals and such for texturing ideas.
dude! your stuff is awesome! keep up the amazing work man.
"Everything you draw has a chance of becoming a masterpiece, so put your all into everything you draw."
Thanks zeo-x, your sketchbook kicks ass my friend.
Scanned a few more studies from my lil sketchbook, done with a bic pen.
Love the 3d vehicles, its super cool!
Keep improving your drawing skills. The last post is great too.
Post more!
Thanks Jorge!
Haven't posted anything in awhile. Still busy with the game mod. Doing some concept stuff atm.
Here are a couple doodles to start out with...the only time I have to draw these days is during render tests for 3D stuff.
Here is a concept for a walkway/catwalk to be used in the game mod.
I used Maya for the model concept (photoshop for post) just to demonstrate various configurations, and photoshop for the texture concept.
Here is another render of the containment unit. No texturing yet, just shaders and glow effects for the lights in Maya.
All the hi-res modeling is done including the base and arm which isn't posted here yet, since this is another one of mine that has been put on hold for now. We're very close to getting the first map completed and trying to get all those assets out.

A few thumbnails I did for a door access panel/keypad...for the mod. We're going with 2 and 1. I should have some clean, gussied up versions to post very soon.
damn!! i wish i had the hand dexterity to do industrial studies. grrr
very nice btw
These are awesome, keep it up!
Very cool design, I collection
really awesome work; the characters are great; the vehicles maybe even better.. only thing that gets my eyes, is you hand and feet studies seem a little off. like the perspective in these is broken somehow.
>>SKETCHBOOK. you'll visit me. I'll visit you, we'll have a tea party. with arts and shit. it'll be dreamy. stop by.
>>mah tumbr
Hi, intresting 3D work, is that work for school? and how long have you been working in 3d?
keep it up
Amazing, too put it simply. No crits, just love your work.
tandy1000- And I wish I had just a fraction of raw talent of many of the great artists here at CA. We just gotta keep at it.
rossipoo-Thank you sir!
lichunlei-I now have your sketchbook bookmarked...lotsa great stuff.
ashess-Thank you! I def. have to improve on my drawing skills. That's the main reason I started this sketchbook, to motivate me to do more 2D stuff. I'll be the first to admit my perspective drawings are off. Plus, most of the drawings were done at work, either on a break or when I should have been doing something else...like putting away files instead of hiding behind them.
Puppet.-The most recent stuff is for the game mod I'm working on with a bunch of other artists atm. The only pieces that I kept from the classes I took at "school" was The Fly (Intro to Zbrush-Miguel Ortega), my first time using Zbrush, and the Katana (Texturing2-Stephen McClure). Almost 3 years ago I wanted to see what this 3D stuff was all about so I decided to take an Intro to Maya class at ...after the first day I decided this is what I want to pursue as my new career. After taking a few more classes, getting a foundation, and having a baby with my wife, I've been mostly learning new things as I go along. It's a never ending learning process...the complete opposite from what I'm doing for a living atm.
Venial-Thank you for your kind words!

In May 2012 it entered into -Chapter 11 bankruptcy with the intent to liquidate the debt and emerge whole. A number of bidders emerged, and by July the company announced it had entered into an "exclusivity agreement" with a Chinese-controlled company, Superior Aviation Beijing, for the potential sale of HBC's assets, excluding defense businesses, to Superior for $1.79 billion.
The sale, as you probably know, did not go as planned. In October, talks collapsed, and shortly thereafter HBC announced its intentions to emerge as a stand-alone company. A couple of weeks later, it filed the details of that plan, which gave more than 80 percent control to four secured creditors, Angelo, Gordon and Co.; Centerbridge Partners; Sankaty -Advisors; and Capital Research & Management. As we reported online shortly after the filing, the rest of the equity went to creditors. Goldman Sachs and Onex Capital Partners, which purchased HBC in a leveraged buyout just before the market tumble, would have no further involvement.
The new plan included a new name, simply Beechcraft Corp., and a pared-down lineup that would jettison the company's jet portfolio, which included the light Premier 1A and Hawker 400 (formerly the Beechjet and, before that, the -Mitsubishi -Diamond Jet), the super-midsize Hawker 4000 (nee Horizon) and the midsize Hawker 900XP.
The fate of all of those airplanes is in the wind. There are thousands of still very active Hawkers and Beechjets in the fleet, making them attractive to a company looking not to restart production but simply to build spare parts and provide service. Much less attractive for this are the Premier 1A and Hawker 4000, which together represent relatively few airplanes.
The sad news, delivered solemnly by HBC Chairman Bill Boisture at an opening day press conference at the NBAA convention, was that the company was voiding the Support Plus service contracts for a total of 150 Premier 1A aircraft and Hawker 4000s. While owners will still be able to find service for their 1As and 4000s, the move will likely reduce the value of those airplanes and force owners to pay for maintenance and repairs out of pocket.
The decision to cancel the warranties on the two airplanes was made, said Boisture, with great reluctance. "We are truly sorry to have disappointed our customers with this decision," Boisture told reporters at the event. Disappointment, however, is likely to be the least of customers' concerns. It's a terrible blow to those owners, though Boisture did point out it is likely the manufacturers of the aircraft's engines and avionics would honor warranties for those systems.
Sadly, there's more pain and suffering associated with the transition from Hawker Beechcraft to Beechcraft. Recently, the company told hundreds of its workers at Hawker Beechcraft Service facilities in San Antonio, Texas, Little Rock, Arkansas, and Mesa, -Arizona, that they are out of work. HBC plans to close all three facilities as it streamlines its services offerings into fewer existing locations.
One area it doesn't plan to abandon is the refurbishment business. It currently offers two products, the Hawker 400XPR, a re-engined and refurbished Beechjet/Hawker 400, and the Hawker 800XPR, a refurbishment program for the midsize Hawker jets. The company also announced a Beechcraft Bonanza Xtra refurbishment program through its factory-owned services network (the same that is losing the three aforementioned facilities). The Bonanza program would install new Garmin avionics, D'Shannon tip tanks and new interior, glass and paint on eligible 36-series Bonanzas.

Offense Bounces Back in Dolphins' 27-26 Win Over Jaguars
In the end, it was all worth the wait. After nearly two hours of delayed action due to frequent lightning strikes in the Jacksonville area, the Dolphins pulled off a narrow one point victory over the Jags, but more importantly the first-team offense was brilliant in the second quarter, shredding the Jags' defense for 21 points.
Chad Henne was as good as we've ever seen him, going 11 of 14 for 151 yards and throwing two touchdowns to Anthony Fasano. And that's not even taking into account the two drops by Marshall and Hartline that, if caught, would have made Henne's first-half performance one completion away from perfection.
Speaking of Marshall, despite yet another mind-blowing drop, he reminded us of why exactly we were so excited about his acquisition in the first place. Four receptions for 65 yards, to go along with two key touchdown producing blocks, and Marshall had himself a pretty solid half of action.
Defensively, things weren't so upbeat. The secondary was abused for much of the game, led by Vontae Davis' and Sean Smith's nightmare drive, in which Vontae was burned for a 35-yard completion and Sean Smith gave up a 22-yarder.
Is it possible that these young corners aren't quite is good as we thought they were, or is that a little too drastic of a reaction to only a preseason game? Time will tell, I suppose. On the bright side, I expect the pass defense as a whole to significantly improve once Nolan begins to implement his exotic blitz packages in the regular season.
On another positive note, the run defense was superb tonight. The Dolphins held Jacksonville to a mere 2.8 yards a carry and stuffed Jones-Drew for -2 yards on 4 attempts. All in all, it was a long night with the weather, but the offensive fireworks in the second-quarter will make it a whole lot easier for Dolphin fans to get some sleep tonight compared to last week's ugly performance.
As for continued evaluation of this game, I'm going to wait until after seeing the taped version on NFL Network 11 p.m. Monday night. Expect the report card to come on Tuesday and in-depth roster analysis on Wednesday and Thursday.

You are here: Home > School Meals
In an effort to reduce paperwork at the local level, Congress has incorporated into Section 11(a)(1) of the National School Lunch Act three alternative provisions to the normal requirements for annual determinations of eligibility for free and reduced price school meals and daily meal counts by type (free, reduced price and paid meals) at the point of service.
This Provision reduces application burdens by allowing free eligibility to be certified for a 2 year period.
In schools where at least 80 percent of the children enrolled are eligible for free or reduced price meals, annual notification of program availability and certification of children eligible for free meals may be reduced to once every 2 consecutive school years. All other households must be provided a meal application and are allowed to apply for meal benefits each school year. There is no requirement to serve meals at no charge to all students.
Schools must continue to record daily meal counts of the number of meals served to children by type as the basis for calculating reimbursement claims.
Provision 1 has been an option for schools since publication of regulations in 1980.
This Provision reduces application burdens and simplifies meal counting and claiming procedures. It allows schools to establish claiming percentages and to serve all meals at no charge for a 4 year period.
Schools must serve meals to all participating children at no charge for a period of 4 years. During the first year, or base year, the school makes eligibility determinations and takes meal counts by type. During the next 3 years, the school makes no new eligibility determinations and counts only the total number of reimbursable meals served each day. Reimbursement during these years is determined by applying the percentages of free, reduced price and paid meals served during the corresponding month of the base year to the total meal count for the claiming month. The base year is included as part of the 4 years.
At the end of each 4 year period, the State agency may approve 4 year extensions if the income level of the schools population remains stable.
Schools electing this alternative must pay the difference between Federal reimbursement and the cost of providing all meals at no charge. The money to pay for this difference must be from sources other than Federal funds.
Provision 2 has been an option for schools since publication of regulations in 1980.
This Provision reduces application burdens and meal counting and claiming procedures. It allows schools to simply receive the same level of Federal cash and commodity assistance each year, with some adjustments, for a 4 year period.
Schools must serve meals to all participating children at no charge for a period of 4 years. These schools do not make additional eligibility determinations. Instead, they receive the level of Federal cash and commodity support paid to them for the last year in which they made eligibility determinations and meal counts by type, this is the base year. For each of the 4 years, the level of Federal cash and commodity support is adjusted to reflect changes in enrollment and inflation. The base year is not included as part of the 4 years.
Provision 3 has been an option for schools since 1995 through an implementing memorandum.

admission requirements
HBS Culture
Harvard Business School has been implementing many new changes that all focus on collaboration. Every admitted student is given a face-to-face interview with the admission committee to get a better idea who they are as people, and how they work with others. Collaboration is ultimately the tool to making a difference in the world.
HBS MBA classes are always diverse. There is no ideal HBS student. The admissions committee is looking for students from a variety of backgrounds to present a host of perspectives and get students thinking creatively. Sure they will share common traits such as strong analytical skills,and good leadership qualities. But the important thing is that the students can work well with each other and bring their own unique perspective to the table, ultimately creating a more comprehensive and beneficial program.
New Initiatives at HBS
Harvard is encouraging undergraduate seniors to apply to HBS throughout the year instead of the usual just during the summer now that Harvard 2+2 Program is up and running. In keeping with these new changes, Harvard has added new course requirements for first year students emphasizing small group collaboration and hands-on application of the material. The new course series, called The Field Immersion Experience for Leadership Development (FIELD) is detailed in the 3 Modules below.
1) Leadership Module
The Leadership Module emphasizes small group work and close collaboration with the faculty to provide insight into the best leadership qualities.
2) Module 2
Module 2 will place new student in 14 different cities in 11 emerging economy countries to receive hands on experience in product development exercises. THe 11 countries will include China, South Africa, and Vietnam, among others.
3) Integrative Exercise in Entrepreneurship
In this module, the student start their own companies, focusing on marketing and customer service.
HBS Financial Aid Information
Harvard Business School encourages all undergraduate students to apply no matter their financial standing. Financial Aid is not applied for until after the acceptance of the student. Further, the Harvard Alumni have been very receptive to supporting new HArvard students and their education.
Some Quick HBS Admissions Facts
- Harvard looks at their prospective student holistically, never using a point system or structured formula to judge the quality of the student
- Harvard Business School class is about 39 percent women
- About one-third of the class members are non-U.S. citizens
For more details, please also read our Harvard Business School Admissions Tips.
Obtaining an Masters of Business Administration can provide you with a world of possibilities in you career. As Dave Wilson, president and chief executive officeer of the Graduate Mangement Admissions Council and a 1965 MBA grad from University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business, says, "An MBA opens the door," "When you get in there, it gives you a sense of perspective, a balance, a world view that is often different from what you would have had before you took the degree."
Most student will give credit to the success they have had in the working world, to the material and lesson they learned in business school. Further, business school gives students the opportunity to really find themselves and learn what they are truly passionate about, ultimately translating this passion into a career. Under this pretense, Bloomberg Businessweek has tracked the growth of the top MBA grad of 1991 and examined what an MBA and 20 years of work has done for them. We have copied the five examples that they include below. Their stories show what an MBA can really give and what doors this degree can open.
Tom Anderson
Then: MIT Sloan School of Management Class of 1991, Seley Scholar, the most distinguished of Sloan's achievement awards honoring outstanding leadership, professional promise, high academic achievement, and contributions to the school
Now: CEO, Education Dynamics
Tom Anderson graduated from Dartmouth in 1984 with a math degree and a plan to go into medicine. But after speaking to some doctors who expressed regret with their career choices due to the HMO mess that characterized the 1980s, Anderson changed his mind. He took a job teaching high school math for a few years and then joined Paine Webber as a stockbroker. He spent three years at the firm, and in that time he found himself drawn to asset management. But to make the job switch, he was going to need an MBA.
Anderson went out on a limb and applied to only one school: Sloan. "Fortunately I got in," he says. "I went there expecting to go into asset management, but one of the great things about the top business schools is that you get incredible exposure to a bunch of different companies and different fields in different professions."
After earning his MBA, Anderson signed on at McKinsey & Co. He worked there for the next decade, moving up the corporate ladder and eventually becoming a partner. He left McKinsey and joined Capital One, where he successfully ran, then sold, one of its medical lending businesses. Then, after taking on a similar role at three other businesses, Anderson gained a reputation as a star CEO in the private equity world.
Anderson now fuels a passion for education as the CEO of Education Dynamics, which aims to help adult learners find the right schools and the right degree. "Sloan was a life-changing experience for me on many dimensions," he says. "If I could have figured out how to get paid and do that my whole life, I would have been a permanent student."
Martha Blue
Then: University of North Carolina's Kenan-Flagler Business School Class of 1991, Valedictorian
Now: Co-founder, Real Change Strategies
Martha Blue's career began in fixed income sales and trading at Goldman Sachs after she graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in December 1986 with an accounting degree from the Wharton School. She stayed at Goldman for two years before deciding it wasn't for her.
Blue took a six-month break in Florence, Italy, then returned stateside with a plan to earn her MBA. After spending a weekend in Chapel Hill, N.C., she knew that UNC's Kenan-Flagler School of Business was her MBA destination. "The school had so much energy and so many people dedicated to making it a world-class program," Blue says. "It was the most realistic preparation for a work environment you could get at a business school."
Upon graduating from Kenan-Flagler, Blue spent four years at McKinsey & Co., while trying to decide which industry she could bear spending the next 20 years of her life in. She ultimately settled on the nonprofit sector. After working for a conservation group for a year, she founded Blue Consulting in 1996, which served a mix of for-profit and nonprofit clients. Then, in 2007, she co-founded Real Change Strategies, which only serves nonprofit organizations.
Two decades later, Blue says her MBA was "crucial" to her career development. "It gave me a broad view that I would not otherwise have gotten," she says.
Peter Ebell
Then: Southern Methodist University's Cox School of Business Class of 1991, Valedictorian
Now: Founder, Bellwood Capital
South African by birth, Peter Ebell earned an engineering degree in 1986 from the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. He served in the navy for two years after graduation and then found a job at Johannesburg Consolidated Investments, focused on the gold and platinum mining industry.
After a year and a half, Ebell began to wonder what it would take to move up the corporate ladder into a "top job." It was quickly evident he needed a strong background in finance to get those kinds of positions, so he decided to enroll in a one-year full-time MBA program at Southern Methodist. While there, he became especially impressed with the finance program, specifically the training in derivatives.
Once he obtained his MBA, Ebell returned to South Africa and became an equity analyst, eventually convincing the higher-ups at his firm that derivatives were something important to get involved in. Four years ago he moved back to the U.S. and is now in the process of seeding his own hedge fund, Bellwood Capital, in Massachusetts. "I'm very happy with my career path as it's turned out," Ebell says. "I wouldn't say I learned a lot at Cox. It indicated to me where my interests lay, effectively, and because of that I was able to develop those interests."
Andrew Grengos
Then: UCLA Anderson School of Management Class of 1991, Edward W. Carter Fellow, awarded to the top 2 percent of each full-time graduating class at Anderson
Now: CEO, Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals
Andrew Grengos graduated from MIT in 1986 with a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering only to find that he didn't think it would make for an interesting career. He worked for Morgan Stanley for two years before deciding he needed to be more well-rounded, having never taken a business or economics class in his undergraduate studies.
The Australia native looked at graduate schools on the West Coast and settled on Anderson after hearing about its strong finance program. "I truly had these big functional expertise blank spots," Grengos says. "Knowing those blank spots and filling them, I absolutely think it was very helpful to me."
After paying for his MBA completely out of pocket, Grengos spent more than six years working for McKinsey & Co., before moving into the biotech industry. He served as the chief business officer and head of corporate strategy for companies such as Chiron, Dynavax Technologies (DVAX), and Amgen (AMGN), before he decided he was ready to try his hand at running a company. He chose Neuraltus Pharmaceuticals based on its work in the neurodegenerative disease space, an area of interest to him because of his father's bout with Alzheimer's. "I thought there'd be some good karma spending a chunk of my career working in a place that was trying to help people like my father," he says.
Scott Moyer
Then: Georgia Institute of Technology MBA Class of 1991, Student of the Year
Scott Moyer graduated from University of California, Riverside in 1987 with a degree in administrative studies, a "fairly generic degree," he says, that lacked specificity.
After working for an engineer for a short while, Moyer followed his fiancée to Atlanta and enrolled in Georgia Tech's full-time MBA program in 1989. He tested out of three of his core MBA courses and was able to take electives with the second-year MBAs. "Many of the (second-year students) were seriously trying to get into a full-time job," Moyer says. "I figured out early on that if I could get straight A's my first quarter, that would get me an internship." And he did, with former Big Five accounting firm Arthur Andersen.
Moyer graduated with his MBA and CPA in 1991 and was hired full-time at Arthur Andersen. He worked there for four years before deciding he wanted to do more consulting work. He later worked with Coca-Cola (KO) and Siemens One (SI), where he became chief financial officer in 2001.
A recovering serial CFO, Moyer now works as a director at PricewaterhouseCoopers overseeing consulting projects. "I wouldn't be anywhere if I hadn't gone back to get an MBA," Moyer says. "I was drifting in the wind trying to figure out what I wanted to do, and going to Tech made it very easy for me to focus on an area of expertise."
Many high school seniors try to ease the uncertainty of applying to schools by applying early admission. What is early admission, you might be wondering? Early admission binds both the student and the college into admittance months earlier than the regular admission deadline is due. Even in this touch-and-go economy, early admittance seems to be increasing, not decreasing. Here is a list of several schools which have published their early admittance increases, thanks to The New York Times.
Duke: 31% increase
Northwestern: 11% increase
Cornell: 4% increase
Dartmouth: 3% increase
Occidental: 40% increase (Note: Occidental has a very small program, not totaling over 157 applicants this year.)
The Times goes onto say that Wesleyan, Emory, Pomona and Grinnell were colleges that saw no increase or decrease, but were about even with their early admittance percentages compared to last year.
Some colleges have a non-binding early admittance program, like Stanford, where you have the choice of whether you want to attend the school or not when applying early. Stanford saw its early admittance rate go up by about 4% this year. Yale, on the other hand, with a program very similar to Stanford's, saw its applications drop 5%, along with Amherst, Swarthmore and Hamilton.
Is it good to know your statistics of early admittance before applying to schools? The Times brings up this important question, ultimately saying "yes" – that even though the reality can be somewhat grim in terms of the freshmen seats being given away to early admittance applicants, it's still important to be aware of your changes of getting in. For example, Cornell offered binding acceptances to 1,167 applicants, which totals to about 40% of its freshmen class. This is a good percentage to know when waiting for those acceptance or rejection letters to come in.
However, early admittance students should be careful when applying to schools with binding programs. Counselors often discourage early admittance because it decreases your chances of obtaining stellar financial aid in the bargaining process. Should you decide to apply early with binding or non-binding agreements to colleges and universities, make sure the agreement is the right one for you.

Not dead yet: The American shopping mall is changing, not going away
Jeff Macke at Breakout2 hrs agoLast Friday sandwich chain Quiznos filed for bankruptcy protection citing high debt loads and heavy completion. Coming just days after a similar filing from pizza chain Sbarro, Quiznos' bankruptcy was the second half of a one-two gut punch for shopping malls at a time when they've never been more vulnerable. A decade ago there were more than 1,100 enclosed shopping malls in the U.S. Since then more than 400 have been either been "re-purposed" or closed outright. No new malls have been completed since at least 2009.
The trend has become so pronounced it has its own website, DeadMalls.com where shoppers and developers swap stories and mourn the demise of their childhood haunts.
Target's PR nightmare continues
Breakout3 days agoIt's been another brutal week in the headlines for Target (TGT). Yesterday Businessweek.com ran a story claiming the nation's second largest discount chain was first alerted to the installation of hacker malware on November 30th and again on December 2nd of last year.
Citing interviews with employees familiar with the company's security procedures, law enforcement officials as well as 8 people with "specific knowledge of the hack and its aftermath," Businessweek said Target chose not to act on the warnings. As a result at least 40 million Target customers saw their credit card information compromised.
Trending Ticker: Street buying Amazon's price hike
Breakout4 days agoNOTE: Trending Tickers is an index compiled exclusively by Yahoo Finance every day. It's a list of companies whose stocks are seeing the biggest bump in interest as measured by your Yahoo Finance Ticker searches.

New Jersey's Tesla ban makes sense compared to these silly laws
Breakout5 days agoMuch to Telsa's (TSLA) chagrin it remains illegal to sell cars anywhere in New Jersey other than in traditional dealerships. For existing auto retail operations which huge footprints, on-site service and other amenities, that's great news, but consumers hoping to step into the future are going to be forced to look elsewhere.
If that seems silly you better brace yourself. The ban on upstart methods for selling automobiles isn't even the silliest law in New Jersey, let alone the most bizarre, business-stifling code in the U.S. In the attached video Yahoo's Phil Pearlman joins Breakout to discuss 5 of the weirdest anti-business state and local laws across the United States.
It's illegal to pump your own gas anywhere in New Jersey or Oregon
The best guess as to why probably relates to full employment for gas station attendants and concerns over Zoolander-esque "gas fights" between male models.
In Bergen County, New Jersey it's illegal to buy clothes, furniture or electronics on Sunday
What is the barbell trade and why you should give it a try
Breakout9 days agoIn the five years since it hit a demonic low 666 the S&P500 (^GSPC) has nearly tripled. After that historic run Well Capital Management's Jim Paulsen says investors should position themselves to win in a choppy stock market but growing economy.
"I've been saying since the beginning of the year that we're going to have a really volatile stock market that ends essentially flat," says Paulsen in the attached video. The current rally could very well pick up steam as growth comes in better than most people are expecting but a faster economy comes with its own headaches and has to be considered fairly well priced into the market at this point.
That leaves investors with a couple options. One option is to try to get cute and time the downdraft he sees coming after the S&P reaches his target of 2,000. That could work for the fast traders but Paulsen's preference is using a so-called barbell strategy of getting long cyclical growth and goosing it with high-yield utilities.
Today's Trending Ticker: Market favorite FireEye sliding
Breakout10 days agoNOTE: Trending Tickers is an index compiled exclusively by Yahoo Finance every day. It's a list of companies whose stocks are seeing the biggest bump in interest as measured by your Yahoo Finance Ticker searches.
Making the list of trending tickers today are:
Big Lots (BIG) – up big as the close-out retailer's top line exceeded street expectations.
Celgene (CELG) – the high-flying biotech name down as traders take profits.
Foot Locker (FL) – jumping as fourth-quarter profit rose 16%.
Safeway (SWY) – down a bit as Private Equity giant Cerberus will buy the grocer and merge it with Albertsons.
And our top trending ticker: FireEye (FEYE)
The cybersecurity firm is selling 14 million shares and it's going to raise $460 million as the shares are priced at $82. This street is upset because 14 million times $82 doesn't equal $460 million. It actually equals over $1 billion.

Pentagon's 'Cyber-Mission Force' is no match for Facebook
Breakout12 days agoIf the government isn't spying on you yet, it probably will be soon. In the 2014 version of its Quadrennial Defense Review, the Department of Defense (DOD) said it planned to increase its investments in "new and expanded cyber capabilities" despite sweeping cuts in overall funding. These efforts are connected in a murky way to the NSA's ongoing practice of collecting phone metadata and online surveillance.
Add to this snooping the fact that corporate America is constantly gathering information on consumers, which is to say everyone, and you have a population that is triangulated by observers on and offline. Where government and corporate efforts fail Americans are more than happy to fill the void with selfies and hacked cell phones.
Stocks roar into March like a lion
Breakout12 days ago2014 has hardly been a banner year for stocks so far but the S&P500 (^GSPC) overcame a terrible January to post new record highs last week. After closing at 1,741 on February 3rd the S&P roared back for the balance of the month and despite some Russia-related upsets it closed Tuesday at 1,873, its 2014 high.
"It's been pretty stunning" says David Lutz of Stifel "Everybody was positioned for a coming into the year because last year was so strong." As is so often the case in stocks, once everybody starts leaning the same way a vicious reversal is in the offering.

"So cute; we also had cupcakes at the shower, so it was perfect. Also, the mom's favorite color is purple and she is having a little girl. So - perfect!"
"Matched the baby's room theme so it was perfect. Great quality and arrived quickly. Phone support was wonderful. Liked that I could change print color myself."
"I was impressed with the help given by your staff. I did a super rush order with changes to print sizes and added an extra line. I loved the final product."
"Look as pictured and the quality is beyond our expectations. We are completely satisfied with our cards. Can't ask for better babyshower cards for our first baby :)"
"The cards look great, are a good weight and preview is true to product. Enjoyed the multiple updates sent during the process to let me know it had been reviewed, went to printer and was being shipped. Was disappointed because I paid extra to be sure to have delivery a certain date and I received it after that. Only one day late but still frustrating to pay extra and not have them arrive when estimated."

EC Reads
Emmanuel College's 2013 EC Reads selection is Dan Ariely's The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone – Especially Ourselves.
We are pleased to announce that we will be reading the book by Dan Ariely, The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone - Especially Ourselves (New York: Harper, 2012), as our EC Reads selection this summer.
This year, EC Reads (a committee comprised of faculty, staff and administrators) will offer programming each month related to the book. Dan Ariely will visit campus as our Academic Convocation Speaker on Friday, September 13th.
All students, faculty, and staff will be invited to read the book and discuss it together. Reading this book will be a campus-wide read and something we can share as a community. Each department will be holding special events related to academic integrity within their major(s) or minors.
This book ties in with our implementation of the revised Academic Integrity Policy on campus. Students will be asked to sign statements about academic honesty more frequently in class and we will be launching a new Academic Integrity Board to hear cases of possible infractions of the policy. We will also start an Academic Integrity Board Advisory Council to help educate our community about related issues and encourage a community of trust on campus. There will be more to come on what promises to be a fruitful endeavor to foster the best possible community standards.
The student purchase price for the book is $14.99. To order The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone - Especially Ourselves from the Emmanuel Bookstore, please contact the Bookstore's staff at 617-739-2232.

<<Solar & Alternative Energy Kits
You can use the sun's energy to heat up a tasty treat with this simple solar oven! (Get an adult to help you with the cutting.) Pin It Download our Solar Oven Recipes to get ideas for what to make with your solar oven. Materials:
What to Do:
What's happening? The heat from the sun is trapped inside of your pizza box solar oven, and it starts getting very hot. Ovens like this one are called collector boxes, because they collect the sunlight inside. As it sits out in the sun, your oven eventually heats up enough to melt cheese, or cook a hot dog! How does it happen? Rays of light are coming to the earth at an angle. The foil reflects the ray, and bounces it directly into the opening of the box. Once it has gone through the plastic wrap, it heats up the air that is trapped inside. The black paper absorbs the heat at the bottom of the oven, and the newspaper make sure that the heat stays where it is, instead of escaping out the sides of the oven. Your solar oven will reach about 200° F on a sunny day, and will take longer to heat things than a conventional oven. Although this method will take longer, it is very easy to use, and it is safe to leave alone while the energy from the sun cooks your food. If you do not want to wait long to have a solar-cooked dish, try heating up something that has already been cooked, like leftovers, or a can of soup. Putting solid food in a glass dish and liquids in a heavy plastic zip lock bag works well. You can also pre-heat your oven by setting it in direct sun for up to an hour. Other recipes you may want to try are making baked potatoes, rice with vegetables, chocolate fondue, s'mores, and roasted apples with cinnamon and sugar. Even on partly cloudy days there may be enough heat and light from the sun to slow cook a special dish. Here are a few tips for having success with your solar oven:

LOS ANGELES (AP/KTTV) - A newspaper investigation finds the number of Californians left without unemployment insurance checks for weeks because of computer problems was significantly higher than previously thought.
The Los Angeles Times cites internal Employment Development Department emails that show as many as 300,000 claims were stalled when a software upgrade went online over Labor Day weekend. The EDD previously said 80,000 claimants were affected.
The Assembly will hold a hearing to determine what went wrong with a system that cost taxpayers $110 million.
Some blame the EDD's slow response to the problem that created the massive backlog of claims. Others are pointing fingers at contractor Deloitte Consulting. The Times says the New York firm has been blamed for similar troubles with upgrades to unemployment software in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Florida.
