MasterPlex QT v4.0 has come a long way since the previous version and although there has been many updates since the initial release, some of these powerful features can easily sneak by unwary users. Let's go through this list of what I think are the 10 most valuable and time-saving features for any MasterPlex QT v4.0 Power User:
- Best Fit – This should be the most obvious feature of MasterPlex QT v4.0. With a click of that magical Best Fit button , the curve-fit is automatically optimized for you!
- Best Fit Parameters – With the latest release of MasterPlex QT v4.0 (6/1/2009), the Best Fit can be optimized on 3 different parameters:
- Root mean square error (RMSE) – This is the default and recommended option.
- R-Square – This was the previous default parameter for the Best Fit feature.
- Standard Deviation of % Recovery – This is a feature that was requested by our end-users and we came through for them.
This feature can be accessed via the Plate preferences icon in the Plate tab.
- Quick Grouping of Replicates – Are you finding yourself manually grouping all your unknown replicates? This will be a huge time-saver for you. After grouping your first unknown replicate group, you should see a small black square appear in the bottom right-hand corner.
Click and drag this square across the rest of where your unknown groups are located and see what happens =)
- Virtual Plate – Do you need to stitch or merge multiple files together? Or how about using your standard wells from one file to use on a different file? The Virtual Plate is your answer!
- WYSIWYG Data Table – The flexibility of the pivot-style Data Table should not be underestimated. You have the power to sort, filter, add and remove columns easily. To sort, simply click on each of the column headers. The first click will do an ascending sort and the second click will do a descending sort . Certain columns will allowing filtering. To see if a column allows filtering, hover over with your mouse and you should see a pin appear in the upper-right hand corner. Click on the pin and you will see a list of values that you can filter for. A good example of this would be the Group Name column. To add other columns, click on the Show Columns Selector button. Then click the header you want to add and drag it onto the header row of the Data Table. To remove, a column header, simply click on it and drag it downward until you see an X appear. Then release the mouse button and the column will be removed.
- Templates – Did you spend hours on creating the perfect Data Table layout? Save time on the next analysis by saving this layout to a template by clicking on the Table Template button and press Save. When you are ready to use it next time, just press Load and your data will appear as if you spent hours preparing it! The plate layout under the Plate tab also has a template system where you can save your well grouping information and standard information. Click on the Template Manager icon and the same procedure applies here as with the Data Table templating system.
- Plot Unknown Data Points on the Standard Curve – Check the Plot unknown wells checkbox under the Standard Curve tab and you will be able to see where your unknown data points fall on the standard curve.
- Automatically Detect Outliers – The Automatic Outlier Detection system will save you time from analyzing data that is not statistically significant or should not even belong in your data set. Choose your thresholds based on MFI, Concentration, Count and/or Standard Deviation. Click the Plate preferences icon and select the Plate tab to begin picking out those bad apples.
- Chart Customization – Do you find the default chart colors or styles repulsive? Then change them by clicking the Chart properties icon and give it a makeover. You can edit everything from the legend to point labels.
- Custom Reports – The Data Table is extremely flexible but it may not be the perfect solution for you. In this case, the Custom Reporting feature is the answer. Browse through our publicly available of report templates and download the ones you like. Then go to the Export Manager tab in MasterPlex QT v4.0 and select Import. Browse to the file and press Open. Then click Apply and the report will be automatically generated and saved for you. If the file has an .xml extension, try opening it up in Excel to see the final product. If you would like a custom report template to be made for you, please feel to contact us regarding the details.
If you do not have the latest version of MasterPlex QT, download it and out the FREE fully functional trial version.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) - Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy had their best start ever in The Players Championship.
It still wasn't enough to catch a guy who had never played the TPC Sawgrass.
Roberto Castro hit shots to tap-in range on the famed 17th and 18th holes on his way to a 9-under 63. That tied the course record held by Greg Norman and Fred Couples, and gave him a three-shot lead over McIlroy.
Woods had a chance for his first bogey-free round until missing the 18th green and flubbing a chip. He still had a 67, the first time he has broken 70 in the first round.
Vijay Singh, playing one day after he sued the PGA Tour for its handling of his doping case, was largely ignored playing in the group behind Woods.

It happened south of Augusta on County Highway G Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say someone walked into the Bent and Dent Grocery Store and stole money from behind the counter. The person then drove off.
The Sheriff's Department says no weapon was used in the robbery and there's no word on whether the clerk was threatened.

Veronica Acosta, of Freeport, Long Island, nearly lost everything to Hurricane Sandy. Now she is losing patience with her insurance company. That prompted her to call Fox 5.
The Acosta family has been living in a hotel room since the storm hit more than two months ago.
Their insurance company has told them the house has $29,000 worth of damage. That is far less than the full value of her $250,000 policy, Veronica said, and not enough for a long list of repairs.
After Fox 5 first aired their story, the company said it will take a second look at her case.
Freeport Mayor Andrew Hardwick stopped in to check on her. He said the situation is not unique. By his count, more than 3,000 Freeport homes need major repairs. He said many homeowners are haggling with insurance companies. He said he thinks state and federal leaders could step in and do more. He said the village may hire a law firm to go after insurers not doing their part.
Veronica is pleased with the effort, but is only interested in one result: When the home can be repaired and her family can move back in.
Town hall meetings are scheduled for Thursday morning and Friday night to help residents deal with ongoing problems.

Guestbook comments from the owner
You have a very nice cabin and we had an enjoyable time. This is the first time we have had a "family" vacation since the kids got married. We have two sons, one grandchild (18 months) and two step-grandsons (8 & 10). They all had a great time. We really enjoyed the front porch as we sat out every evening until well after dark—very relaxing. We also enjoyed the back porch where we took the 18 mo. old and let him play with his lawnmower and car and didn't have to worry about him falling off steps. We also used the grill and ate in one evening with everyone. One of our favorite events was going to the Smokey Mountain "Chimneys" area. The older grandsons took their shoes off and played in the stream. It truly was a great family vacation and the cabin was fabulous. Very homey and pleasant. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Mike Akers
We are retired and live in Nashville. We love coming to Pigeon Forge with our kids and grand kids. It is our home away from home and we maintain it like our home in Nashville. We love the atmosphere and the family invironment that the area caters to.
We first stayed in a cabin just like ours in May of 1998 on mother's day weekend. We fell in love with the cabin and looked at building a home in the moutains with a view but decided on Eagles Ridge due to being more convenient to everything. Did not like the narrow roads to scenic cabins or the well water.
Our cabin is close to everything. Less than 3 miles to Dollywood, shopping and theaters. You can be in Gatlinburg in 10 minutes.

stop 1 man doors
currently there is no law to prevent pubs, clubs etc from hiring only 1 door supervisor, this is an extremely unsafe environment for 1 door supervisor to work & the law needs to be changed so that the companies, managers & venues cannot place the door supervisors lives at risk. this petition is primerily for UK based door supervisors but anyone who recognises the dangers of having only 1 person controling the safety of any venue is free to sign this petition. once we have gained enough signatures this petition will be passed onto the SIA and as many MP\'s as we can lobby.

Anyone could have taken those photographs as there is nothing special about them.
Events: get close. Or your photograph isn't good enough according to Robert Capa ;-) Therefore: 16-35. I'll be being one too these coming days...Can't wait.well... he died after stepping onto landmine.. guess that was too close ;-)
Just because you cannot afford it or not willing to buy it at that price now does not mean it is "crazy" ... many of us bought 5DMK III at $3499 ... now the price has dropped, but we bought the camera when we wanted/needed it, so those who bought it at that price are not crazy ... 24-70 f/4 IS too will have many takers who need such a lens now ... generally people who wait for several months or years for the price to drop are the ones who do not really need that product.

The capital of Canada is Ottawa, in the province of Ontario. There are offically ten provinces and three territories in Canada, which is the second largest country in the world in terms of land area.
While politically and legally an independant nation, the titular head of state for Canada is still Queen Elizabeth.
On the east end of Canada, you have Montreal as the bastion of activity. Montreal is famous for two things, VICE magazine and the Montreal Jazz Festival. One is the bible of hipster life (disposable, of course) and the other is a world-famous event that draws more than two million people every summer. Quebec is a French speaking province that has almost seceded from Canada on several occasions, by the way..
When you think of Canada, you think of . . . snow, right?
But not on the West Coast. In Vancouver, it rains. And you'll find more of the population speaking Mandarin than French (but also Punjabi, Tagalog, Korean, Farsi, German, and much more).
Like the other big cities in Canada, Vancouver is vividly multicultural and Vancouverites are very, very serious about their coffee.
Your standard Vancouverite can be found attired head-to-toe in Lululemon gear, mainlining Cafe Artigiano Americanos (spot the irony for ten points).
But here's a Vancouver secret only the coolest kids know: the best sandwiches in the city aren't found downtown. Actually, they're hidden in Edgemont Village at the foot of Grouse Mountain on the North Shore.
"It's actually worth coming to Canada for these sandwiches alone." -- Michelle Superle, Vancouver

What Will the U.S. Economy Look Like During the Next Bull Market?
Posted November 2, 2009
16 Comments
You said in your last Foxhall Global Outlook that this economic recovery would be different than previous bull markets. Why is that and which investments will do well and which investments should we avoid? As I have said before, this is going to be a unique and uneven recovery. Last week we saw days when the stock market went up in triple digits and then the next day dropped in triple digits. This is not uncommon during the transition from a recession to a new long-term bull market.

What Will The Market Do From Now Until The End Of The Year?
Posted October 3, 2007
0 Comments
You were right about the stock market going through a typical summer pull-back, since it has now bounced back to its recent record highs in July. What will the stock market do from now until the end of the year? PATIENCE IS ALWAYS A VIRTUE One of the behavioral characteristics of professional investors is an ability to resist getting caught-up in the emotions of the stock market as it reacts to the most current daily drama being spotlighted in the news! Professionals keep their concentration focused like a laser on those specific indicators that actually drive the fundamentals of the stock market over time.

Will Gas And Oil Prices Keep Rising?
Posted December 31, 2007
0 Comments
My clients keep asking me if oil and gasoline prices are going to continue to rise. Will they ever go back down? In the long run, oil and gas prices will continue to go up and Americans must prepare themselves to spend a higher percentage of their household budgets in the future on gasoline, heating oil and food (more about food in another issue of this newsletter). Oil and gas prices are being driven by two LONG-TERM INVESTING TRENDS.

Anything Is Possible
Posted November 16, 2009

A number of commentators on television keep saying the economy may go up for a while but then could slip into a new recession early next year. Do you think that is possible? Anything is possible, but it would be historically contrary to almost every recovery since 1950.

2008 A Year In Review

2008 Was Not A Great Year. Few tears will be shed at 2008s passingat least from an investment perspective. 2008 began with a business slowdown and is ending with the world caught in the grip of the most severe economic recession since the Great Depression. All this is happening in the context of a world in the throes of extraordinary change, and a planet that is morphing into one economy.

The Start Of A New Bull Market Can Be Choppy
Posted September 8, 2009
1 Comment
Almost all economists now agree that the recession is probably over and the consensus is that the U.S. Economy will grow at least 2% in the second half of this year. Home sales have started to inch up from a very low base, even though foreclosures continue to increase each month and home prices nationwide have a bit further to fall.

Should The Big Drop In The Dow Be Of Concern?
Posted November 4, 2007
0 Comments
Last Thursday the DOW JONES INDEX dropped more than 362 points or 2.6%, its fourth-worst trading day of the year. Should this be a cause of concern? No, this drop was largely the reaction of big institutional investors to the financial services sector, which makes up a large percentage of the DOW. As the WALL STREET JOURNAL said, they were punishing big banks and brokerage firms like Citigroup, Bank of America, Merrill Lynch, Smith Barney and Bear Stearns. These big banks and brokerage firms have been widely criticized in the press for lending billions of dollars to hedge funds on margin who were relending money to mortgage companies who were pushing loans to some people who had no jobs, no credit and no prospect of every paying them back.

Will The Slowing U.S. Economy Effect Asian Stock Markets?
Posted October 23, 2007
0 Comments
If the U.S. economy continues to slow down, will that negatively impact the growth of China and other Asian economies that manufacture and sell so many products to the U.S.? How will Asian stock markets react to a slowing U.S. economy? Remember when you were a kid and watched a magic show. The magician was always trying to get you to look somewhere else while his other unwatched hand was pulling a card or a coin out of your ear. Magicians call this misdirection. The secret of successful investing is to stay focused and never take your eye off the only thing that really matters: the overall health of the economy.

One of my clients asked me why global investing was important. Are there any studies that definitively explain the importance of global diversification in a clients investment portfolio? YESGLOBAL DIVERSIFICATION IS A MUST! After your grandmother told you as a child to always buy low and sell high, she also probably reminded you not to put all of your eggs in one basketat least thats what my grandmother used to tell me! That is the underlying timeless wisdom of global diversification.

How Much To Diversify Our Portfolios Outside The U.S. Market?
Posted September 6, 2007
0 Comments
Given the recent turmoil in the U.S. stock markets because of the subprime mortgage scandals, how much should an investor diversify their investment portfolios outside of the United States? THE RISK OF JUST INVESTING IN THE U.S. The impact of the so-called sub-prime mortgage crisis on the U.S. stock market-remember that sub-prime lending is a very tiny piece of the overall economy-serves to remind us that investing in a single country heightens the volatility and risk EVEN when that one country is the United States! This is why almost every academic study points out that global diversification is the secret to managing risk in any investment portfolio.

Business Week Article Supports Foxhall's Strategy
Posted July 2, 2007
0 Comments
BUSINESS WEEK ARTICLE REINFORCES FOXHALLS GLOBAL STRATEGY This week BUSINESS WEEK(1) published an article about the well known Princeton University professor and economist, Burton Malkiel. The article reinforces the underlying foundation of FOXHALL CAPITALs global investing strategy. Burton Malkiel is most famous for his classic finance book, A RANDOM WALK DOWN WALL STREET. In the past, he has been a leading proponent of the EFFICIENT MARKET HYPOTHESIS, which contends that prices of publicly traded assets reflect all publicly available information. FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL But now in his new book, FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL: HOW INVESTORS CAN PROFIT FROM CHINAS BOOMING ECONOMY. (W.W. Norton, December 2007) he now sees Asia and specifically China as the greatest investment opportunity in the world today. He says investors are getting a bargain for the most undervalued currency in the world.

Will The Presidential Election Affect The Economy?
Posted November 7, 2008
0 Comments
We are now living through the most serious economic crisis since the Great Depression. Warren Buffett has called this crisis the economic equivalent to Pearl Harbor. The economy clearly affected the presidential race. But how will the election results affect the stock market? It is true that past performance is no indication of future performance, but its hard to resist looking back at how the markets have responded to presidential politics.

When Will The Recession End?
Posted April 30, 2009
0 Comments
The stock market has rallied over the past 5 weeks. Is this the beginning of the new bull market or is this a bear market rally that will be followed by new stock market lows? When do you think this bear market recession will end? Economists often say that the stock market always starts to go up before the real economy recovers and often goes up before a recession ends. That is only partially true.

How Does Foxhall Consider Investments?
Posted April 22, 2008
0 Comments
One of the ways we consider investments at FOXHALL CAPITAL is by trying to find and invest in long-term trends in the global marketplace. I often call these long-term trends, GLOBAL SUPERCYCLES. Recently, at the WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM in Davos, Switzerland, Herb Meyer gave an important lecture to a very select group of invited global CEOs of major international corporations on some of the KEY GLOBAL TRENDS, unfortunately not often covered in the mainstream media.

The nature of global business is constantly evolving - new markets emerge and existing opportunities change from year to year. Consequently, so does our work. In developing global business education opportunities in collaboration with faculty, partner business schools, and corporate and non-profit partners, we must ensure that these opportunities we provide for today's students remain relevant and enhance student development, perspective, and leadership upon graduation.
This school year, we have added educational experiences in the Middle East, Brazil, Turkey, India, and Costa Rica. We are looking ahead to creating more experiential learning opportunities in Latin America and Africa in the coming years.
Just as important as geographic opportunities are our partners. We are continuously reminded of the value of networks to our work. Faculty, alumni, partners, or friends of the Carlson School with experience in a region of the world are invaluable in helping open doors in a new location.
We are fortunate that the Carlson School global network is strong and growing. A core value of the Carlson Global Institute's mission is to support and advance these interactive and increasingly global networks. Our January programs included two alumni receptions in China, providing an opportunity for current students to connect with alumni and experience first-hand the value of these global connections. Also, for several programs abroad, students were able to meet with alumni working and living in the host country, like James McGregor in China, author of One Billion Customers. Alumni also participated in student site visits to companies like CH Robinson and Ogilvy Public Relations.
We hope you enjoy this issue of Going Global and the stories that illustrate the value of our evolving Carlson School global network. If you have any comments about our newsletter or interest in increasing your engagement with the Carlson Global Institute, please contact Director Jennifer Hawkins at email@example.com or 612-624-4334.
And to those of you in China, a Happy Year of the Snake to you!
Michael J. Houston Anne M. D'Angelo
Associate Dean, Global Initiatives Assistant Dean, Global Initiatives
In today's ever-changing global business world, standing still is not an option. The Carlson Global Institute continuously adapts its program offerings and enhances its global partnerships to ensure Carlson School students have access to the most current business markets and topics. Our newest initiatives include:
|Assistant Dean
Anne D'Angelo
Carlson School's Assistant Dean of Global Initiatives Anne D'Angelo presented at a conference last fall for leaders in global higher education. Her presentation at the November 12 CIEE Conference in Shanghai was titled "Internationalizing the Professional Disciplines: Study Abroad Models and Learning Assessment in Business and Management Education." D'Angelo's presentation centered on three topics: education abroad in the business school context, how business schools integrate education abroad into curricula, and assessment of learning and impact. She presented benchmarking data and trends from interviews with key U.S. business school leaders that she completed in 2011 for NAFSA's Center for Capacity Building in Study Abroad. Her full report can be found online. Study Abroad in U.S. Business Management Education
D'Angelo also presented data from recent research on the impact of education abroad participation on a range of personal development factors in undergraduate and MBA students. D'Angelo and co-researcher, Associate Dean of Global Initiatives Michael Houston, are exploring the impact of education abroad on students' motivation. In 2007, Carlson School faculty made the bold decision to integrate international experiences as a key part of the undergraduate and graduate curricula. Findings from these studies will be useful in determining the impact of these curricular changes on student development and global leadership.
"The Carlson School has led the nation in preparing its students to creatively address the challenges of global business enterprise," said Margaret Heisel, former director of NAFSA's Center for Capacity Building in Study Abroad who supported the benchmarking project. "The models D'Angelo displayed in her CIEE presentation demonstrate how Carlson is engaging its students in problem solving and deep learning, building requisite global skills, and knowledge. She also outlined Carlson's program assessment methods, which have yielded persuasive evidence of learning outcomes. Session attendees found these research outcomes particularly important and useful in light of the current high level of interest in assessment generally in higher education.
Look for further information on these findings and other research in our upcoming Going Global issues.
|Global business panelists from left: Chief Operating Officer-Technology Rick King, Chief Research and Academic Officer Chang Wang, Director of Legal Strategy Tolu Deleye, and General Manager of eBilling Hub Carlos Seoane.
Three keys to having a successful global career include perseverance, subject matter expertise, and curiosity. Also, extroversion can be a leadership asset, but an asset in one culture may be a hindrance in another. These insights into managing business globally emerged during a recent visit to Thomson Reuters' campus in Eagan.
The visit was part of Welcome Week for 28 students from partner business schools around the world who will be studying at the Carlson School for spring semester. Their visit to Thomson Reuters included an overview of the company and its global footprint, a description of its operations in Minnesota, and a global business panel moderated by Rick King, chief operating officer for technology. Panelists were Director of Legal Strategy Tolu Deleye, who grew up in Nigeria and the United States; eBilling Hub General Manager Carlos Seoane, a native of Spain who has worked for Thomson Reuters for over 10 years leading global mergers and acquisitions; and Chief Research and Academic Officer Chang Wang, who hails from China. The discussion focused on what it really means to be a global company, how Thomson Reuters approaches business strategy, and how each panelist characterizes the traits of successful leaders. Students gained a stronger understanding of Thomson Reuters as a company and insights into what it means to be a leader within a global business.
According to Vijay Dindgur, a student from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland, "It was a great opportunity to get to know how a global business works and about some of the people behind it. It was impressive to see how different people from all over the world contribute and collaborate in the organization successfully. Also, being an undergraduate student with still limited exposure to work life, I found it interesting to see how they take decisions and how the organization is run. This was a great experience because we could learn interactively from practitioners and their challenges rather than from just our textbooks and case studies."
|Students and alumni making connections during the event in Guangzhou.
Did you know that Carlson School alumni number over 47,000 and reside in 78 countries and the University's global alumni network is over 400,000 strong?
Alumni networks provide enduring benefits beyond time in the classroom. They can provide meaningful business opportunities, introductions to new cities or cultures, and career connections among other benefits.
For the second consecutive year, Carlson Global Institute has collaborated with the Carlson School's Alumni Relations office, the China Executive MBA team, the University of Minnesota Beijing office, and the University of Minnesota alumni chapter in Shanghai to host alumni events in conjunction with Carlson School student programs traveling to Shanghai and Guangzhou in January. The events provide an opportunity for current Carlson School students and alumni to connect and interact in meaningful ways by establishing new relationships and sharing mutual interests. This year, these events brought together over 150 individuals to celebrate the University's global network and create relationships of their own.
Joe Bostrom, a Part-Time MBA student, participated in the event in Guangzhou. "During the alumni reception dinner, I met several individuals from the Vienna Executive MBA program who could give us a different perspective on managing businesses than our first-hand experiences," he said. "One gentleman that I met is currently working in an industry that I would like to be involved in the future. He gave me some good advice on the industry and I hope to stay in contact with him in the future."
If you are a Carlson School graduate, join the Carlson Global LinkedIn group to connect with other alumni interested in global issues.
Cultural immersion through a semester studying abroad is an extraordinary experience for many students. It provides them with a unique opportunity to dive deep into a society, broaden their perspective about their host culture, and develop knowledge and skills through this experiential learning opportunity critically important in today's global economy. The Carlson Global Institute has exchange relationships with 29 schools in 24 countries. Each year approximately 70 Carlson School students study abroad for a semester or longer and more than 60 students arrive from abroad to study at the Carlson School for a semester or longer.
We asked two students, a Carlson School undergraduate who spent a semester in Brazil, and an MBA student from Università Commerciale 'Luigi Bocconi' in Italy who spent fall semester 2011 at the Carlson School, to share some of what they learned through their exchange experiences.

In his profile, Shaver said the best part of his job was seeing his students refine and enhance their knowledge of important business issues.
Zaheer told Poets & Quants the joy of discovering fresh ideas, and the ineffable joy of exposing students to fresh ideas, new perspectives, new ways of thinking and looking at things is the best part of being a business school professor.

Visit our page deferred action central in this website !
Important !
Big Change in Immigration Policy for DREAMers !
On Friday June the 15th 2012, President Obama announced a change of immigration policy that benefits DREAMers.
Efective inmediately on that date, the administration stopped deporting young individuals who meet certain criteria. USCIS outlined a process to grant deferred action (stop deportations) and grant work permits to DREAMers who came to the U.S. as children and have since led law-abiding lives.
Under the administration plan DREAMers granted DACA if:
1.-They were brought to the United States before they turned 16.
2.-Are younger than 30 years.
3.-Have been in the country for at least five continuous years.
4.-Have no criminal history.
5.- Graduated from a U.S. high school or earned a GED Certificate (or are enrolled in GED program) or served in the military.
These individuals can apply for a work permit that will be good for two years with no limits on how many times it can be renewed.
The policy will not lead toward citizenship but will remove the threat of deportation and grant the ability to work legally, leaving eligible DREAMers able to remain in the United States for extended periods.
For detailed information on the new immigration policy click here.
This does not provide permanent legal status or is the DREAM Act. It is a step in the right direction and the fight for a more permanent solution is not over!
What to do?
1.- For undividuals in removal proceedings before this change: ICE announced the process where qualified individuals may request a review of their cases.
Beginning June 18 th, 2012 individuals may call ICE hot-line 1-888-351-4024 with questions.
2.-For other applicants go to USCIS website.
Please go periodically to this site for updates.
How can I go to college in one of the toughest states for young immigrants like me?
Thanks to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) process, two important institutions in Arizona are offering In-State-Tuition:
Maricopa County Community Colleges (ten Community Colleges in the Metro Phoenix Area).
Pima County Community College. Click here to find out how to do it!
Updated 7/8/14
Arizona DACA-DREAMers Will Be Able to Obtain Driver Licenses After 9th Circuit Court Decision.

Please visit Scholarships A-Z for detailed information on the GED. Click here for more information from our friends.
This is a great step in the right direction but we still need to change the laws of the USA through Congress. The fight for the DREAM Act continues with your help.
Support the current efforts for Immigration Reform (CIR) 2013.
This is the first positive action we have had in our 10 years working for the DREAM ACT.
This is not the DREAM ACT, but it is a change of policy that does two very important things for the undocumented students:
We still need the DREAM ACT.
We still need Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
This will provide major benefits for DREAMERS and their families:
Students with college degrees can now fill professional vacancies where there is a shortage of engineers, technicians, nurses, scientists and other fields. Employers will no longer have to recruit in other countries.
Students are saying that they can now help their parents, who have been removed from jobs they held for many years. The raids and enforcement of the employer laws have hurt the immigrant families. Now they will have a family member who can work legally.
High school students are encouraged to stay in school and graduate, since there is some hope for their future.
Students will be free to campaign more actively for the DREAM ACT and Comprehensive Immigration Reform. DREAM ACT advocates can give more time to promotion of the DREAM ACT because we will not be working so hard to get students out of immigration hold.
Watch President Obama gives the news here.
What is the DREAM Act?
The Dream Act is a proposal that has been discussed in Congress since 2001. It has been re-introduced every year but unfortunately has never made it for a full vote.
UPDATE (4/1/14): The situation of undocumented studens in Arizona has positively changed since the introduction of the Deferred Action process (DACA). However, dreamers who have not applied to DACA because are still in High School or lack of funding need to be aware the danger of deportation is present.
We know of sad instances where DREAMers are caught working without the proper documentation in order to be able to gather funds to apply for DACA, have been detained on workplace raids and charged with identity theft (a felony which potentially can derrail DACA application and their dreams).
New Scholarship Fund Created for Immigrant Students
The Dream Scholarship Fund helps immigrant children reach their potential of becoming highly successful, productive, tax paying citizens who will contribute renewing our economy.
"You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore. We have seen the future, and the future is ours." - Cesar Chavez.

Norwich – Recreation Director C. Roger Moss was placed on administrative leave today for an undisclosed reason.
City Manager Alan Bergren notified Mayor Peter Nystrom and members of the City Council this morning of the action saying Moss would be placed on paid administrative leave "until further notice" and would provide updates to the council "as necessary."
Bergren said he could not comment on any details or discuss any pending investigation or how long Moss would be on leave.

The Kansas City Chiefs have waived kicker Connor Barth, likely clearing the way for seventh-round draft pick Ryan Succop to be the team's starter this season.||||||| Barth played in 10 games for the Chiefs last season, making 10 of 12 field goals as a rookie, but the 2-14 Chiefs struggled mightily on special teams.

Two new quarterbacks joined the Raiders' roster this week, but with completely different roles and expectations. Veteran Carson Palmer, acquired in a trade from the Bengals, will step right in as the starter, the man most responsible for helping the team reach its goal of a playoff appearance. Rookie Terrelle Pryor, fresh off a suspension following his selection in the August supplemental draft, will also impact the team but in a very different role.
According to a team source, Pryor's snaps under center will be very limited. Having missed much of training camp and the first six weeks of the regular season, his familiarity with the playbook and his development as a quarterback are not where they need to be for the coaching staff to trust him with playing time at QB. Yet the rookie has a live arm, good mobility and great athleticism, which means head coach Hue Jackson will find a way to put him on the field.
We hear there are specific formations and plays in the Raiders' playbook that can utilize Pryor's skills. These include Pryor throwing, running and receiving, both lined up wide and at quarterback. A version of the "Wildcat," which would feature Pryor and RB Darren McFadden, is believed to be one of the ways Jackson will use the rookie, per our source.

Anyone have a tissue? Or a treadmill instead? Exercising to boost the immune system!
Monday, December 20, 2010
It's that time of year again where it seems that everyone is getting sick. A recent study done by Appalachian State University found that on average patients are sick for 13 days during the winter months and 8 days during the fall season. However, the study also found that people who exercised or participated in physical activity were sick half of those days. The article discusses the potential positive impact of physical activity on the immune system. It was determined that people who exercised 5 times per week or "felt fit" boosted their immune system, and had better protection from getting sick than other individuals.
This idea of physical activity boosting the immune system is also supported by the British Journal of Sports Medicine. There has been evidence that moderate physical activity can increase the resistance of individuals to some diseases (in addition to the many other health benefits of exercise!) This includes moderate levels of exercise 3-5 days per week. Physical activity could include cardiovascular and/or strength and muscle training. However, the body's response to exercise depends on intensity and duration for each individual person. Therefore, in more extreme individuals, too much exercise or stress on the body could lead to adverse effects and increased risk of infections. This could be a problem for people who are training at a high intensity for multiple hours a day without rest or recovery.
In general though with most individuals, what it comes down to is the idea that moderate physical activity can be beneficial for your body's immune system and keeping you healthy. Physical activity has many physical, mental, and emotional benefits for the body. Additionally, it can help in preventing diseases as well as those pesky cold and flu bugs. As the weather gets colder, try not to lose your fitness routine and make a point to include physical activity in your day!
