Resources : FAQ
The following is a list of frequently asked questions that are often asked about Beta Gamma Sigma, and the Society's answers to those questions.
If you have questions that are not answered here, please feel free to contact Tod Arnoldy, email@example.com in the College of Business, or Beta Gamma Sigma headquarters, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: Is Beta Gamma Sigma a fraternity, sorority, or what?
It is neither. Beta Gamma Sigma is a business honor society that recognizes the most outstanding students of business at institutions accredited by AACSB International - The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
Q: How does one become a member of Beta Gamma Sigma?
Students are chosen by the faculty of their business schools to be invited to membership in the Society. To be eligible for invitation, students must a) be enrolled in a business program at a school accredited by AACSB International that has a chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma; and b) be in the upper 10 percent of the junior class (second semester), upper 10 percent of the senior class, upper 20 percent of the graduating master's class, or completed all requirements to receive a doctorate.
Q: What do I gain from BGS membership?
BGS membership presumes that the student is one of the very best, making it unnecessary to explicitly set forth one's GPA. When applying for jobs, BGS members typically indicate their BGS membership in their resume to improve their opportunity for success.
In some larger metropolitan areas, BGS has professional chapters for members who now live in the same city but who may have graduated from different schools. This greatly broadens one's opportunity to network and build relationships that open up new horizons in one's field of eligibility.
Q: Who are members of BGS in business?
In the invitation packet, there is a flyer identifying BGS members who are now CEOs and Presidents of major US companies. For example:
- Christopher B. Galvin, CEO, Motorola Inc.
- Leonard A. Lauder, Chairman and CEO, The Estee Lauder Companies
- Joseph A. Pichler, Chairman and CEO, The Kroger Company
- Benjamin M. Rosen, Chairman, Compaq Computer Corporation
- John F. Smith, Jr., Chairman and CEO, General Motors Corporation
- Leonard N. Stern, Chairman and CEO, Hartz Mountain Company
- Lawrence A. Weinbach, Chairman, President and CEO, UNISYS Corporation
Q: Are there annual dues required to remain an active member of the organization?
No. Beta Gamma Sigma membership is for a lifetime.
Q: How can Beta Gamma Sigma help me in my career?
Beta Gamma Sigma is recognized throughout the business world as the leading honor society for business and management education. Your membership in the Society shows your commitment to excellence as well as your outstanding academic record. It is appropriate to include Beta Gamma Sigma membership on one's resume. Potential employers are encouraged to call the Central Office to verify the membership of applicants.
Q: Is there a significant service time requirement for a student who accepts the invitation to Beta Gamma Sigma?
No. Beta Gamma Sigma is an organization devoted to recognizing the best students of business. Individual chapters at the collegiate level may have their own programs and activities, but there is no service time or set of activities that is required for membership.
Q: Can I stay active in the organization after I graduate from college?
Beta Gamma Sigma has made it a priority over the last several years to provide opportunities and benefits for members who have graduated (known as alumni members). The Alumni Chapter Program is the latest and most extensive of these efforts. Beta Gamma Sigma has established an alumni network that currently covers 17 major metropolitan areas in the United States, with an 18th Alumni Chapter in Hong Kong.
- Alumni Chapter Contacts
- San Francisco Bay Area BGS Alumni Chapter
Q: How does a member qualify for a scholarship?
Collegiate chapters must meet certain criteria in order to qualify to award a Beta Gamma Sigma Scholarship. Once a chapter meets those criteria, the chapter itself chooses its recipient. If you are interested in a BGS Scholarship, please contact the faculty advisor or other chapter representative at your school.
Q: How many members are there in Beta Gamma Sigma?
Currently, there are more than 540,000 Beta Gamma Sigma members around the world.
Q: How can I update my address and other contact information with Beta Gamma Sigma?
There are several options to do this: Register—if you haven't already—for the BGS On-Line Member Directory and update your contact information there; or send your new contact information in an email to the Central Office; or you may call the Central Office at: 1-800-337-4677; or send updates through snail mail at: Beta Gamma Sigma, 125 Weldon Parkway, Maryland Heights, MO 63043-3101.
Q: I think that I'm a member of Beta Gamma Sigma, but I'm not sure. How can I confirm it?
The best and quickest way to check your information (including membership status) is through an email to the Central Office. But you can also use the phone number or mailing address provided in the preceding answer.
Q: How can I include Beta Gamma Sigma in my will or estate? And, how would these funds be used?
Essentially, there are two choices: gifts by will, and gifts during life. People who choose testamentary gifts may save estate tax. People who choose current giving generally realize both the immediate satisfaction of benefiting the charity and the maximum tax reduction. Contact your attorney or tax advisor to find the best alternative for your situation.
If you choose to include Beta Gamma Sigma in your will or estate, you can be assured that all funds would be used to further the goals and ideals of the Society. The Scholarship Program, the Alumni Network Program, and the low $65 lifetime membership fee are all helped greatly by the generosity of our members.
Q: I was inducted into Beta Gamma Sigma at a previous school. How can I transfer my membership in the Society?
A student must remain officially listed as a member of the chapter into which originally inducted and may not accept membership at another chapter at a later date. However, a student member of Beta Gamma Sigma, in good standing, who transfers to another school which has a collegiate chapter will be able to enjoy all the rights and privileges of the new chapter while being considered an official member of the chapter in which the student was inducted.
Q: Why does Beta Gamma Sigma have a membership fee if membership is considered an honor?
The low, one-time lifetime membership fee is necessary to fund the activities of the Society. There are no annual dues or fees associated with membership in Beta Gamma Sigma.
Q: Do I lose my membership if my GPA falls below requirements?
No. Once a student becomes a member, the student is a member for life. Due to the stringent standards of the Mu Chapter, it would be unusual for a BGS member to fall below honor roll requirements.
Q: What if I am already a member and receive an invitation again in my graduate program?
Congratulations! If you have already become a BGS member in your undergraduate program and are eligible again at the graduate level, you will be honored with a senior certificate. Only a handful of students have such an opportunity. It will be no cost to you.
Q: What if I lose my certificate?
You may order a replacement certificate. The current price for replacement certificates is $5.00 each.
Q: What if my name is misprinted on the certificate?
If it is a mistake the BGS national office made, they will replace it at no cost. If it is a mistake that we have made, there is a charge of $5.00 for a replacement certificate.
Q: What if I want to purchase BGS souvenirs?
You may browse through the international BGS web site.
Q: How can I contribute to my Mu Chapter?
There is a lot you can do. You can volunteer for BGS functions. You may be one of our speakers. You can also provide job opportunities that your fellow BGS members might be interested in. Our advisors will try to make opportunities known to you. More importantly, stay in touch with us. We would like to know how we can make the Mu Chapter benefit you. Send an email to the Mu Chapter.

(WMC-TV) - Plans are in place for more than $400 million in airport improvements at the Memphis International airport. It comes at zero expense to taxpayers.
According to planners, $121 million is invested in the economy parking garage. Travelers will pay $6 a day to park. Also, there will be rental car companies inside with moving sidewalks all the way to the terminal.
In addition, leaders shared information about their smart growth plan to keep Memphis relevant in the ever-changing airline industry.
"We are relentlessly pursuing not only air service, but customer service," said airport chairman Jack Sammons. "We're not going to be O'Hare, DFW."
Sammons said Southwest Airlines is coming. He said the staff is in constant talk with other low cost airlines.
"The fact that Delta is changing does not mean this airport is dead," said Memphis Shelby County airport authority chief operating officer Scott Brockman. "Roughly $480 million dollars in projects either starting, finishing, or in process right now."
Southwest Airlines serves a reminder to support airlines who come to Memphis and existing ones who expand in the city.
"Sign up for Southwest Rapid Rewards ... What it shows is that Memphis is embracing the southwest entrance into the market," said Brockman.
One in four jobs in the Memphis area are connected to the airport. Leaders hope more airlines and affordable flights will come to the city if there is more support more support from residents.
Andrew Douglas was the only member of the Memphis news media to meet with airport leaders about the plans in place to move Memphis forward.

Many people will tune to HBO's pay-per-view broadcast of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Antonio Margarito fight at 9:00 Eastern, and many of those people will be unfamiliar with the boxers involved. But you don't have to be!
SB Nation's boxing blog, Bad Left Hook, has broken down what you should watch for in an in-depth fight preview to make you a more educated viewer.
For Margarito, the road to the WBC middleweight title will have to be paved with a few good shots to the quicker Pacquiao:
Margarito is physically stronger, probably, and definitely bigger. But what you can't land on your opponent isn't of much importance, and Margarito is going to really struggle to hit Pacquiao. It would be easy to say that Margarito should box from the outside and use long right hands and left hooks, but Pacquiao is too quick to let him do that easily. Pacquiao would have to be hurt first, knocked off his game, and maybe even a bit desperate to let Margarito use his range properly.
But Pacquiao may not be able to dominate with his footwork and jab, so while a long night may not be in the cards, a good fight should be.
Say what you will about Margarito being this or that, but for the most part his career has been pretty exciting to watch. Even when he got smoked by Mosley, it came in an entertaining fashion. I don't think this fight can be bad, really. The Pacquiao-Clottey fight was bad, but Clottey has always been a stink-out artist whose most entertaining fights have come seemingly by accident. If Margarito is going to lose, he won't do it quietly.
We'll have full fight coverage for you here on SB Nation. Be sure to check back with this StoryStream, which we'll be updating live, as the fight nears.

Town Square
Council member receives donation from project
Original post made by Suspicious on Feb 13, 2007
John Boyle received a $750 donation from 75 Willow Road, a property owned by developer Duncan Matteson. The prior council, over objections from many residents, granted an amendment to the General Plan and massively rezoned that property so that it could be converted from commercial to high density housing. The new council--of which Boyle is a member--also considered the project at one of their first meetings. Litigation regarding the project is pending.
Do you think it's ethical for a council member to accept a donation from a project on which he's voting? And if so, should we just acknowledge that our city is for sale and try to get the best price possible?
on Feb 14, 2007 at 12:16 pm
Boyle is bought and paid for, in the same manner that the previous council majority members were the Three Stooges of development. From yesterday's Almanac article titled "Boyle leads pack in MP council race spending" there is:
"Mr. Boyle spent more than he raised, according to his spending statement. He received $45,966 in contributions -- $6,000 of which was received on Jan. 15 from Duncan Matteson of Menlo Park and entities and individuals involved with the Redwood City-based Matteson Companies.
"The Matteson Companies comprises a group of affiliated entities involved in real estate investment, development and management, according to its Web site.
"The Matteson Companies' list of commercial properties includes 75 Willow Road, a commercial site that is set to be converted to residential, with 33 detached single-family homes. The residential project was given the green light in late November in a controversial decision by the lame-duck council."
on Feb 16, 2007 at 12:16 am
If we are going to do something about conflicts of interest, lets be sure to also address the union influences.
The same Almanac article reported that the San Mateo Labor Council (parent of the SEIU) spent $22 THOUSAND to get Robinson and Cline elected. This week, both expressed support for speedy passage of a new $1.3 MILLION per year pay and benefit package for members of the SEIU.
If we truly want independent council members, we need to take away the labor influence as well. Alternatively, perhaps we should put these new pay packages on the ballot every two years and let the voters decide what is fair.
on Feb 16, 2007 at 11:27 pm
There was only one candidate who didn't solicit or accept donations from developers or the unions, and he didn't win. Sounds to me as though the voters don't mind letting special interest groups sway their votes.

Beyond PageRank: Five Alternative Factors for Evaluating Outreach Prospects
- Posted by Will Stevens to Link Building
Here are five less conventional factors you should take into account when assessing sites for outreach purposes.
- Posted by Will Stevens to Link Building
Here are five less conventional factors you should take into account when assessing sites for outreach purposes.
Matt Cutts did hint in his PubCon keynote that there wouldn't be anymore updates for a while, although obviously he did it in that cryptic manner of his. I forget the exact quote, but it was something along the lines of the Webspam team will be focusing on link injection spam for a number of months, so to much of the outside world it may not look like they're doing anything much.
I took that to mean there wouldn't be a noticeable update until we're into 2014. Then again, in the same address he also hinted that Penguin could be tweaked again, so who knows...
There seems to be some degree of personalisation at work here too - https://www.google.com/search?q=moz&gl=us&pws=0 gives me a knowledge graph result, but if I don't fiddle with the search string and just do a Google.com search (from the UK) for Moz, I don't get a knowledge graph result.
Also, if I change the =us to =uk in that search string, I get a slightly different knowledge graph result (the former includes a music-related suggestions, the latter doesn't).
It looks that way. But would you really consider that the right answer to the question posed?
My general point is that the answer boxes don't have enough room to elaborate on grey areas such as this, and that has to be a bad thing.
Great stuff! However, isn't the answer Google provides for "five years in hours" wrong? I make the maths 365x24x5 which is 43800, not 43829.1.
Now, I know there are various factors that technically mean things aren't as simple as that (the Earth takes slightly longer than a year to orbit the sun) but Google hasn't been asked "how many hours will elapse between now and this day in 2018 - it has been asked how many hours there are in a period of five years, which is 43800. I mean, I am a bit hungover, but I'm not being totally stupid am I?
And I don't think I'm being overly picky either - if Google is presenting information as factual and itself as a primary source, then surely it has to make sure it gets it sums right?
It's great to see a post about storytelling that's more than just "hey you guys, we should be telling stories". Not only does it look at what stories are, it doesn't shy away from the idea of emotional manipulation which, let's face it, is what marketers are trying to achieve.
One thing I would add is that it's important to avoid getting so carried away with the idea of storytelling, that you forget to let people know what you actually do. Take the Contently website, for example. Now I'm sure they're great at what they do, I've heard a lot of good stuff about them, but I've read pretty much every page of their website and I can't for the life of me work out what they acually do.
Thanks! And you're right, my preference would skew towards strong DA sites, but I think if Google has its way we'll all have to adjust that bias in the near future.
As explained in another comment (can't remember which one) I'm not a fan of PageRank for a number of reasons and would only ever use it as a very loose guide as to whether or not a site's any good.
Hi Umar, personally I'd set DA 30 as a bare minimum for the sites I'd look to contact, but as discussed in the post there are plenty of other things to consider.
As for blogspot based blogs, there are great blogs built on this type of platform. For example, the UK's University and Colleges Admission Service has a blogspot blog and there are posts on there that have been tweeted 100+ times. If you were working in the education niche, exposure on that site would be fantastic.
I would never rule out a site just because it was blogspot based.
Thanks Matthew. I totally agree with your "high authority" sites comment.
PageRank in particular is all but useless - it's updated infrequently and can be gamed using dropped domains and such like. That's why Wayback Machine is also a useful tool for outreach as you can see if a site is what it claims to be or whether it has been dropped and repurposed in the hope of making a quick buck.
Thanks for reading, Josh! Most sites that have their stuff syndicated by strong sites are pretty keen to let you know about it, so usually you'll find the details somewhere like the "about us" section. You should find it's something you come across as you're getting a feel for the kind of stuff a site runs.

vacation rental description
Welcome to Sanctuary in the Pines!
We are located in the very private White Mountain Summer Homes Country Club Community. This is the place to be in Pinetop.. Last development before Sunrise, but still close to town.
The perfect Sanctuary in the tall pines of the White Mountains in Eastern Arizona. When the temperatures are soaring into the 100's in the Phoenix and Tucson area, we are in the 70's and 80's cooling down into the low 60's at night!
Our cabin is approximately 1600 square ft in living space. It has a Master bedroom with full bath, and 2 other bedrooms plus a huge loft that shares a 3/4 guest bath. The most compelling feature of this cabin is the upstairs kids loft. This loft has four bays with a 42" LCD big screen 1080p TV above an
electric fireplace and 2 oversized bean bag chairs. This is a great place for kids to watch movies, play video games, and have a blast in their own private space.
The entire cabin has just been thoroughly remodeled and insulated so it is a true all season property. Located in the unique White Mountain Summer Homes
community there are tall pines surrounding, and peaks and valleys for exploring.
The cabin is very private on almost an acre in the quietest area of White Mountain Summer Homes.
Sleeping Space:
1) Master Bedroom: Large Quen bed. Private bathroom.

activities and attractions in Pinetop Arizona
White Mountain Summer Homes is the last development before reservation land. It's the closest to the Sunrise Ski Resort, the White river for fishing and pic-nics, the Hondah casino and resort, and all the White Mountain lakes and streams for fishing, birdwatching, or just hiking and relaxing. Many species of birds can be viewed right from the large private deck!
In the busy summer season, being on the right side of town keeps you out of traffic on your way into the wilderness, saving you lots of time and traffic frustration. In fact you don't ever need to go into town at all if you don't want to, but close enough to town so that everything is convienient and close if you do. Eddy's Market and Charlie Clark's restaurant are only 5 minutes away! There is even a concierge service that will provision and shop for you so you never have to leave the large elevated peaceful deck.
In Winter the Sunrise Ski Resort is close by, and in the Summer the location of this cabin gets you out into the wilderness fast as we are literally just a few hundred feet from the Apache Wilderness Reservation.
This is a bird watcher's paradise! Try the White Mountain Audobon Society for more information....whitemountainaudubon, zone 5! (They won't let me post links, sorry!)
Please come stay and explore with us! You will be surrounded by cool peaceful relaxation and feel the stress pulled right out of you as you hang out on the huge deck suspended above the forest floor in the tall cool pines.
vacation rental rates
Rates based on high-season/low season and number of people. Further discounts available to Audubon, AAA and others. Email for details!
Check out our occasional last minute Quick-Get-Away Deals!! These are the best deals in Pinetop! These rates do not include tax or housekeeping, but that's standard, and are still the best rates in Pinetop!
Check us out! The folks that have stayed at Sanctuary have all commented about how fresh and new the place is, and how great the upstairs loft is for kids!
It has been a great pleasure and a lot of fun remodelling this cabin and seeing folks enjoy it....
Thanks for taking the time to look at our Sanctuary in the Pines

Trouble Impact
It's just a little crush: what a game about anxiety taught its creator about the real thing
There they are, that special someone you have a crush on. There they are, standing across the room. You want to talk to them. You look around you; so many people between you and them. You move forward. What will you say? How will you say it? What will they say? People come and chat with you as you slowly make your way across the room, but their words are empty. You only care about getting to your crush. But you're close now. Close. So close. You can hear your heart pounding in your ears. Your vision blurs with each pump. Too close. Too close. You turn away and retreat, as far as you can, away from your crush. Such is the story – and game play – of Crush.
Heart attack
Crush was created by two-person developer Trouble Impact during this year's Global Game Jam. Cat Musgrove, the art and design portion of Trouble Impact, explained the game's creation process on her blog. She wrote that, after playing games like Dys4ia by Anna Anthropy and watching Indie Game: The Movie, she started thinking about how she could use a game to explore her own issues. "Comically enough, I landed on… the way I get when I have a crush on a boy." "When I tried coming up with ways to explore my boy-craziness in gameplay, my idea was to specifically explore the heart-in-your-mouth sensation of actually trying to talk to said crush. I thought the panic was pretty interesting, and something that a lot of people would be able to relate to," she wrote." As luck would have it, this year's GGJ theme was the sound of a beating heart. Musgrove would have the perfect excuse to explore her feelings of anxiety. In Crush, you use the arrow keys – or W, A, S, D if you prefer – to move a red cube around a minimalist environment. There are many other cubes around you, and they're all a dull brownish gray, save for one blue cube in the center, illuminated by white light. The game's only instructions are "Arrow keys to move. Spacebar to begin. Talk to him." The other cubes will occasionally move around, trying to talk to you. Speech bubbles appear over them and you, but no words are shown. Once a conversation has been started, you're locked in place for a few seconds before you can start to make your way toward the blue cube again. As you move toward your goal, the edges of the screen will begin to pulse – faster and faster the closer you are to it. Your vision will cloud. If the pulsing becomes too intense, you will turn away from the blue cube and run in the opposite direction. It's frustrating in the best way, and you can download it or play online right now. Musgrove wrote that the game can be beaten, but based on my experience, it may take you several tries. I could never avoid the other cubes successfully; one or three would always home in on me to start up a conversation. The "just get it over with" method of rushing forward as fast I could didn't seem to work either. I even tried angling the red cube so that I would walk backwards toward the blue cube. None of my various solutions worked until I stopped trying to "beat" the game and relaxed. If Crush is a parallel to real life flirtatious interactions, it certainly succeeds in making you feel every emotion of someone who's lovesick: desire (must complete goal) excitement (oh boy, almost there) frustration (stop talking to me, I need to get over there) self-loathing (ugh, stop turning away) and sadness (I guess I'll just give up now).
Lessons learned
When Musgrove submitted Crush to IndieGames, editor-in-chief John Polson asked her if she'd learned from the experience. The IndieGames article was posted before she'd sent her reply, but Musgrove shared that on her blog as well. "I'm not really sure that I 'learned' anything specific about experiencing anxiety. Instead I would say that we did a study of it by trying to recreate it in game form. It's like sketching a figure," she explained, "Where you need to be able to identify the individual parts and understand how they fit together in order to make a realistic drawing. You know that there are arms and legs – like I know that my heart is beating fast and my mouth is dry – but can you put them all together to make something recognizable?" Musgrove also detailed out why systems in the game play work the way they do. While I grew frustrated with the other cubes speaking to me, it turns out they could actually be used to help my red cube's anxiety. "Talking to others puts you into a 'cool down' state, where your anxiety decreases linearly, although it's a slow change. Unfortunately, you don't have any control over how long you talk to them, because you can't just walk away from a conversation - so they make it harder to get to the guy when you are feeling up to it." Musgrove also wrote that making the game so simple and minimalist helped strengthen such emotional responses. "Thinking about it now, I think we've seen many times that icons can end up creating a much more personal effect than realistic models because you are being asked to fill in the blanks by engaging your imagination. Sometimes when I play, I experience moments that line up too well with reality and it freaks me out. For example, I have had moments where I finish a conversation, turn back to the guy and realize that he is all alone and I am about to approach him - which actually makes my heart race a little bit." Once you've played the game, I suggest you go through the entirety of Musgrove's explanations and think back on how you played. What does it say about me that I was always feeling "up to it" and wanted to escape conversations? What will it say about you when you're faced with the same? It's fascinating that a simplistic game created in 48 hours can make us think in such ways. We all know the feeling – that stomach-twisting, heartrate-raising, can't-swallow-anything-but-dry-air feeling – of having a crush on someone. Crush is a game prototype which takes those feelings and breaks them down into game play, and the result isn't so much a game to be "played" as it is a tool for introspection and self-analysis. Sometimes that's okay. Sometimes, we need that more than a game.

AUBURN — Gleason Media has begun broadcasting a new Somali radio show Sunday mornings on WEZR 1240-AM, General Manager Dick Gleason said.
"The Somali Show" is the first of its kind in the area to reach out to the Somali, Kenyan and Djibouti population living and working in Lewiston-Auburn, said Gleason, who is also the mayor of Auburn.
The show will be broadcast from 11 a.m. to noon Sundays. It will be in the Somali language.
The host of the show will be Fatouma Ahmed of Lewiston, a former radio newscaster in Africa, and a mother of one.
"It's going to have some Somali music, interviews, news and some advertisements," Ahmed said Friday. The news will be about events happening in Lewiston and Auburn, with guests talking about adult education and the career center. The show will also feature news of Somalia, Juba, Kenya and Ethiopia.
Ahmed will translate the show's advertising to Somali.
Many are excited about the show, she said. "They want to have a Somalia program on the radio. Some people here don't speak English," she said. "I hope the show will help the Somali community to understand what's going on. I feel very good about this. I'm very happy."
Gleason said he was approached as Auburn mayor by Somali leaders looking for help with a sports tournament to help Somali youth. "As we sat there and talked, I said 'Gee, we have a French show. Maybe a Somali show would be of interest to you.'"
It was. The leaders told Gleason that Ahmed worked as a radio journalist in Africa.
When Ahmed came to the radio station, "I found out she knew how to operate the equipment," Gleason said. They decided to give the show a try. It aired for the first time Oct. 17. "It went very well," Gleason said. "Now we're spreading the word."
Somali and non-Somali leaders are happy about the show, he said. It will not only promote understanding, but Somali residents will get news from their homeland, be able to hear their tongue and native music on the airwaves, he said.
It's fitting, Gleason said, that the Somali Show will follow the French speaking show, "La Revue Francaise" with Connie Cote. The French language show airs from 9 to 11 a.m. Sundays.
Ahmed moved to Lewiston two years ago from Djibouti, Africa, with her daughter, Soumaya, 3. In Djibouti, Ahmed was a news announcer for "Radio Djibouti," a government run radio station. Part of her job was to analyze and broadcast news from various sources.
Ahmed speaks four languages, English, French, Somali and Arabic.
Djibouti is a French and Arabic speaking country that borders Somalia. Djibouti became independent from France in 1977.
In Lewiston, Ahmed works for L.L. Bean, volunteers as a translator and for Catholic Charities of Maine, helping explain mail and bills to the Somali population.

Forego that stack of books you meant to read in 2011 and start fresh with "Aftertaste: A Novel in Five Courses."
We featured Mt. Lebanon resident Meredith Mileti's first book in our . She will join 10 local and national authors in Pittsburgh's first-ever celebration of the books women love to read Saturday at the in Upper St. Clair.
Women Read/Women Write is a chance for you to meet participating authors, listen to panel discussions and spend the afternoon sharing your passion with fellow book lovers.
Over coffee, I sat down with Mileti to learn the backdrop for "Aftertaste," about her favorite places and what's next on her to-do list.
Patch: How long was "Aftertaste" in the making?
Mileti: I wrote the first chapter the summer of 1999 and I did nothing with it. At the time, I was finishing up my dissertation in Developmental and Educational Psychology. I had three little kids at home and I had a job offer. I had to defend my dissertation so I could start teaching graduate students by the end of August.
My husband, who's been incredibly supportive and a terrific cheerleader said, 'Look, honey, don't worry about it—I've got meals covered for the whole summer.' So here I am working away and I'm miserable. I was miserable because I had this big deadline, but I also realized I missed the creative outlet of cooking—and I really enjoy cooking. Plus, we were eating truly horrible stuff like Hamburger Helper, Mac n' Cheese and any kind of take-out. So I started taking breaks while I was working—making nice lunches—then one day the main character, Mira, barged in and wanted me to hear her story.
Of course I didn't tell my husband because I didn't want him to think I was slacking off. I put it in a drawer then I started teaching at the University of Pittsburgh. So it was a busy two or three years. I was trying to get my research off of the ground and my kids were still young.
Mira kind of bothered me from time to time and I thought, 'I wish I could figure out what her story is.' After about four years, I had enough courses under my belt and I could really start to take Fridays off. I devoted those days to writing, but you don't get too far writing one day a week—at least it got me back into the story.
The following September, I called up Pitt's English department and asked if I could sit in on a specific faculty member's fiction seminar. He told me I couldn't sit in, he said, 'You can't sit in and watch, you have to participate. You'll be in the hot seat like everyone else.'
It was a wonderful experience—I had never shared my writing with anyone. It was eye-opening, at times horrifying, shocking and a great experience. It kept me writing.
A couple of years went by, and I finally took a leave. I was job sharing with a woman and it was time for her sabbatical, which meant it was time for mine. I used the year to really work on the book, but when the sabbatical was over, my book wasn't finished. My husband said, 'Why don't you take another year?' So I did, which turned into three years and I finished.
Patch: New York City is where the story takes place. Is that a favorite destination of yours?
Mileti: I've been going to New York my whole life. My father was from the city and my grandparents lived there. I spent a lot of my childhood visiting. I went to school in upstate New York and we would go to the city on the weekends to have fun and spend a little money. We'd always go to Arthur Avenue in the Bronx—sort of a pre- Eataly, Italian-style market.
Patch: You share recipes in "Aftertaste." Are recipes from your childhood included?
Mileti: I actually hadn't thought about including recipes when I wrote the book. Someone recently said to me, 'Food is one of the main characters in the book.' And that's true, I love writing about it. I had finished the book and my editor said, 'I loved this description so much, I had to stop and go eat something.' Then she asked me to include a specific pizza recipe. She then suggested that we include one recipe from each course. And then a cassoulet—which isn't particularly Italian. I had never made it, I had just written about it. I was nervous to include it.
It figures in late in the book—it's made for the heroine in a last attempt to seduce her.
I'm kind of a "seat of the pants" cook. That's how we learned from our mothers, grandmothers and grandfathers, and the truth is I'm not really good at following recipes.
I can never really make the same dish twice unless they're the "tried and true" Italian favorites. That took a lot of finagling to get the recipes right—one of the most difficult parts of writing this book.
Patch: Are you still cooking?
Mileti: I'm having 15 people come for dinner tonight!
Patch: Are there specific people who inspired your writing?
Mileti: I took a cooking class with a woman, Sharon Oddson, who owns Trattoria Garga (with her Italian husband Giuliano Gargani) in Florence. It was several years ago while I was working on the book. She's maybe a little older than me. I told her I was including her in my book. She said, 'Don't make me a wimp. Feel my arms, I have muscle.' It's true. I mean, you are moving heavy roasting pans and rolling out pasta. My arms were sore the next morning. That's what people don't know—it takes a fair amount of physical stamina to make a decent chef. That's maybe why we don't see more women chefs.
Patch: Are there places in Pittsburgh that inspired the book?
Yes, several are mentioned. I moved to Pittsburgh 26 years ago from Boston. I was raised in a town called Marblehead—about the same distance from Boston as Mt. Lebanon is to Pittsburgh. I was going to graduate school and I missed having the markets near me. We would go to the North End Market—the Italian section right in Boston. Once day, my friend suggested I visit the Strip—it changed my time here, I love shopping there.
I love Enrico Biscotti, I love Pennsylvania Macaroni Company.
Actually, Enrico's is thinly-disguised in the book. I changed the name to Bruno. I needed the baker to be a really old man.
The Public Market is a great addition. I thought that would be a fun place to have a book talk. I did a fig demonstration there with Mary Marinelli of the Italian Garden Project. It was about how to grow a fig tree in Pittsburgh.
What's next for Mileti?
She said she plans to revisit Italy. Currently, her daughter is studying in Florence through a New York University graduate program. Mileti said she'd like to spend a month there brainstorming her next book.

Graduate Program - Developmental Graduate Program
The Department of Psychology offers graduate study leading to the M.A. and Ph.D. degree in Developmental Psychology. We believe that a quality graduate education involves close working relationships between faculty and individual students. A high faculty-to-student ratio and small class size characterize our graduate programs. In addition, each student works with at least one faculty member as a means of gaining valuable teaching, research and professional experience. There are many opportunities for individualized study and experience in research directed readings, and supervised teaching. A committee, representing the student's interests, assists in planning an appropriate graduate program for each student.
All applications are due by December 31st.
Developmental Psychology
The developmental program offers training in social, cognitive, and psycho-biological development. Focused on children from infancy through adolescence, concentrated study is available in the areas of play, communicative competence, emotional development, friendship evolution, peer relations, learning, and information processing. Students become well versed in developmental theory and methodology, and actively involved in research. Besides offering applied experience with preschool children in the department's Child Study Center, the program provides opportunities to work with developmentally disabled and gerontological populations at the Maine and Eastern Maine Medical Centers. (Faculty: Cobo-Lewis, Eilers, Erdley, Hayes, LaFreniere).
The developmental program has strong ties with the developmental/clinical track of the clinical program for students who wish to become scientist-practitioners.
(Participating Faculty: Eilers, Erdley, Hayes, Haigh, Nangle).
Research Facilities
The Department of Psychology occupies the third floor of Little Hall, with additional research space in North and South Stevens Halls. The Department also operates its own laboratory preschool, the Child Study Center, which offers the opportunity for applied experience and research with a population of three-to-five-year-old children. The Department's Psychological Services Center serves as the community mental health facility for Orono and surrounding communities. Additional research and applied experiences are possible in several departments at the Eastern Maine Medical Center. Good relations exist with the local public schools for research opportunities.
Admissions Requirements
We are looking for well-qualified students who have a broad undergraduate background as well as psychology courses, laboratory courses in experimental psychology, a good science, math and computer background, and a course or more in statistics. All of the following documents and information must be received before an applicant can be considered for admission: 1) University application form, 2) Departmental application, 3) GRE scores – verbal, quantitative and analytical, 4) Three letters of reference, preferably from those who are familiar with your work in psychology, 5) Transcripts of all previous college education.
We look for a GPA above 3.5 and Verbal and Quantitative scores above 150. We are flexible about these scores, but the overall picture from GPA, GRE, letters of reference and personal statement needs to be convincing. The clinical program is more competitive, so your scores need to meet these requirements for consideration. Research experience and publications help.
Applicants need to submit two separate applications: (1) A Graduate School application, available on the Graduate School website (email@example.com); and (2) a separate departmental application that should be returned directly to the Psychology Department.
Applications from students who have already earned a Master's degree or who have completed some graduate work are welcome. In addition to the other admissions requirements, applicants who already have well-defined interests may also choose to write directly to a faculty member with whom they would particularly like to work. Such a letter might introduce the applicant, and it should include any pertinent information that is not included in the Department and University Application Form. This additional information may help in assessing a student's possible research interests and in matching her or him to a faculty advisor who has similar interests. (See the listing of the faculty and their interests.)
Financial Assistance
Financial assistance is available to students in the form of tuition scholarships and departmental assistantships. There are no assistantship application forms. Applicants who wish to be considered for assistantships should indicate this on the departmental application form. The Department makes every effort to secure funding for its graduate students in the form of graduate assistantships and stipends from certain off-campus practicum placements. Such funding, when available, typically applies to no more than four years of graduate training.
While we have been successful in supporting most of our students financially in recent years, no guarantees can be made because our resources are not always completely in place at the time that our student selection decisions are made. Applicants need to be prepared to underwrite some of their educational and living costs. When funding is available, it generally covers the academic year from September to May.
The American Psychological Association has a Minority Fellowship Program for which eligible individuals may compete; details are available from the Director of Clinical Training and from the APA.

|Area farm ground brings in possible record price
|Friday, October 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Times Bulletin Editor
Three tracts of farm ground near the intersection of Richey Road and Elm Sugar Grove Church Road in northern Van Wert County were sold at auction Monday at what many believe is a record price — $14,055 per acre.
"We believe this may be a new record for the county and it certainly shows that Midwestern farmland values continue to be strong," stated Jerry Ehle, sale manager for Schrader Real Estate and Auction Company in a press release. "We had healthy participation by both farmers and investors and once bidding opened, it moved quickly past $3 million (total for all three tracts). Our high bidder was an investor from the Netherlands."
There were three tracts of ground on the auction block, two of which are adjacent with a third connected at one corner. The tracts were all approximately 78 acres each of tillable cropland. In total, the 233 acres brought a price of $3,275,000. Most of the 233 acres are Hoytville soil with a few areas of Nappanee soil.
The land is within the boundaries of the Blue Creek Wind Farm, although there are no turbines on the land. The location is just north of the Stoneco quarry and less than one mile from the Van Wert-Paulding County Line.
According to reports, the auction brought around 100 people to the Van Wert County Fairgrounds for the sale. Although the auction has been completed, the sale has not closed and no paperwork has been filed at any of the county offices at the courthouse. The listed owners prior to the auction were David Wilson, Nicholas North Co., Inc., and Janice Wilson Terhune.
In the same release, the auction company's president, R.D. Schrader, said that potential buyers of farm ground seem to be looking long term.
"Most of the people attending our auctions are focused on the enduring value and stable returns provided by farmland," he said. "Operators and investors who are buying for the long term don't worry too much about whether prices are up or down month to month. They are more concerned about location, soils and other farm-specific factors."

ARDMORE, OK- Oklahoma snow and hazardous conditions has hardware professionals giving advice and city leaders giving extensions on past due water balances.
Hardware professionals say before you start enjoying the snow, make sure your home is winterized.
"With the bad weather that we've had the main thing people need to do is make sure that everything is sealed up really good. You start off with your door weather stripping, make sure there's no cold air coming in" says Patrick McGuire of the County Building Center.
Just like you seal your doors, you also want to seal your windows too.
"Same thing with your window get a product like this to go around the window to make sure theirs no cold air coming in" says McGuire.
You also want to make sure that sources that feed cold are into the inside of your home are closed.
"Make sure if you have a crawl space like this , make sure you get all of the cold air from going into the house" says the hardware professional.
Many people have asked how to protect their water sources, there are many answers to that question.
"Main concern for most people is the pipes or outside faucets, make sure your pipes are covered up, you've got faucet covers you can use" according to McGuire.
Speaking of water, due to the icy conditions the City of Ardmore is giving residents some more time to pay past dues water bills to avoid disconnection.

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – A lengthy challenge and appeal process to a controversial book taught in schools prompted Brunswick County officials to rethink their policies for challenging and selecting school materials.
Last month, the board voted to keep Alice Walker's novel, The Color Purple in schools even after a hot public debate. But that decision made school board leaders rethink their policies for challenging school materials.
It started in the middle of last year, when County Commissioner Pat Sykes first challenged the book to West Brunswick High School. Sykes said the book is inappropriate for teenagers due to the sexual content and language used in the novel.
A school committee denied her challenged, so Sykes appealed that ruling to the superintendent.
Dr. Edward Pruden denied her appeal, so Sykes appealed once more, this time to the school board.
After hours of debate, the school board upheld Pruden's decision to keep the book in school.
Board members have agreed that the process of challenging school materials is flawed.
The first appeal went to the individual school improvement team; then the superintendent, then finally the board. In total, the process lasted more than three months and gained national attention.
The board wanted two things: More parent representation on individual school improvement teams; and the addition of a community media advisory committee to add another level of advisement.
The board voted Tuesday to maintain the current policy which allows parents to have the final say in what their children are learning.
Based on recommendations from the state board of education, Brunswick school leaders are also considering the implementation of a Community Media Advisory Committee made up of various school officials, parents, and a student from the community.
That committee would provide recommendations to the board for challenged materials when appeals reach that level.
A spokesperson for Brunswick County Schools, Jessica Swencki believes this whole process was an eye-opener for those involved.
"I think this entire process has been a truly educational experience for our board members, our staff, and our community," said Swencki. "I think that's an important piece as we move forward. That transparency and the things that will come from this conversation will be great tools for our system in the future."
The Superintendent of Brunswick County Schools, Dr. Edward Pruden also recommended that an annotated bibliography of possible materials be provided to parents. It's just one additional step to make everything
transparent. Curriculum coaches will be responsible for providing background of the literary merit of each possible book and why it is being taught in schools.
These policy revisions would be implemented for next semester and would clean up any questions for selection and challenging of school materials.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Begin the problem down the ridge at the end of the first band of rocks, this is the Torture Chamber. The problem is a continuous, juggy traverse up the ridge to the right keeping the feet as high as possible, a long traverse without a doubt. Variations exist, probably all with a FA by Gill too, using smaller holds for the hands and keeping the feet higher. All the variations make the problem more difficult.
A pad and a spotter can be helpful, but not at all necessary as the route never is more then a few feet above the ground.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) - The leader of a Tulsa
megachurch could be called to testify in two cases alleging her ministry
failed to promptly report allegations of child abuse to the proper
Victory Christian Center co-founder and senior
pastor Sharon Daugherty has been relatively quiet about the scandal that
rattled the 17,000-member church last fall, but that may soon change.
Her son and daughter-in-law are among five church
employees who are each charged with one misdemeanor count of waiting two
weeks to report allegations that a 13-year-old girl had been raped on
ministry property in August.
The five could face up to a year in jail.
The worldwide ministry also faces a civil lawsuit
filed by the 13-year-old's mother, alleging the church was more
concerned about damage control than her daughter's well-being.

(WMC-TV) - A 60-year-old Frayser widow is going to extreme measures to booby trap her home to prevent crime.
From a cactus plant to hammers and spray paint, Carol Brown decided to take measures into her own hands after becoming the victim of a carjacking.
Even before you enter Brown's house, you hear the dogs. Under the front window, you will see the cacti.
"Then nobody can steal my air conditioner too easy," she explained.
Brown also has signs warning that she has an alarm system.
"A storm door and I actually have an alarm system over there," she said.
Inside her home, the homemade security system continues at the front door.
"I've got these things (hedge clippers) right here at the door too," added Brown, who also has spray paint strategically located to mark any intruder who dare enter without permission.
"Spray them right in the face. Because that's not going to come off too quick," she said.
Many of her windows are boarded up.
"Because then, if somebody comes through there, I'm going to hear it," she explained. "I put the bookcase in front of it myself. I did all this after my husband died."
She continued, "I think we've got great police, but they can't be everywhere at one time."
The Memphis Police Department has a program to show you any weaknesses in your home security system. Call your area precinct for details.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) - Former President Bill Clinton will be in Jersey City to headline a fundraiser for Mayor Steve Fulop.
The $2,500 per person event kicks off with a private reception at the Liberty House at 1 p.m. Tuesday. A general reception follows.
The money will help fund Fulop's 2017 re-election campaign.
Fulop, who elected mayor six months ago, is already being talked about as a 2017 gubernatorial candidate. The 36-year-old has history with the Clintons, having supported Hillary Rodham Clinton over then-Sen. Barack Obama in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary.
Obama in turn endorsed Fulop's mayoral opponent, incumbent Jerry Healy.

Lipolaser Treatment & Procedure
Lipolaser treatment is the latest innovation in inch-loss and body contouring technology. Lipolaser treatment is a safe, non-invasive, and painless alternative to traditional fat reduction procedures. Each one hour treatment session removes up to an inch of unwanted fat from any undesired problem area.
Lipolaser paddles containing laser diodes to emit specific wavelengths of light, constructed to target fat cells, are placed on the clients desired area in a 30 minute session. Laser energy safely and painlessly penetrates several millimetres into the subcutaneous adipose, or fat tissue layer.
The adipose cell walls are made permeable for a temporary period allowing cell contents to spill out into the interstitial space. The fat, is converted into the form of triglycerides- free fatty acids(FFA's), water and glycerol.
The FFA's are utilized in the body as energy or are reabsorbed by the other cells, while water is utilized or excreted and glycerol is processed through natural metabolic functions including gluconeogenesis.
The body can easily process the amount of mobilized fat that is released. Cell debris is cleared by natural metabolic pathways while structures such as blood vessels and peripheral nerves remain intact. Following the Lipolaser treatment, fat cells are significantly reduced in size resulting in substantial improvements and attractive Lipolaser before and after results.
Hover over each image for a description of each stage in the process.
Is Lipolaser Treatment Right for Me?
Lipolaser treatment is ideal for both men and women who engage in moderate exercise and maintain a balanced diet. The Lipolaser treatment acts where diet and exercise do not, eradicating the fatty areas that are unresponsive, stimulating the metabolism to expose the toned body you work so hard for. The end result for men and women – highly targeted and effective Lipolaser before and after results. See the Lipolaser before and after results for yourself with this sample of patients ranging in both age and sex (Hover over each image for a description of the patients gender, age and results):
Lipolaser Before and After Results
The Lipolaser Procedure
Your first Lipolaser session begins with a brief consultation with one of our certified technicians. During the Lipolaser consultation we will determine your goals and expectations and answer any questions or concerns you may have. We will also determine an appropriate Lipolaser treatment plan and discuss how many sessions you will need in order to reach your desired size. Since the Lipolaser procedure produces immediate results, each session begins with a quick measurement of your trouble spot area so that we can track your progress! Throughout the 30 minute session, while you're laying down, our certified gal places two multi-probe paddles on your designated target area and then rotates each paddle 3 times every 10 minutes for a total of 30 minutes. To stimulate your lymphatic system for drainage (of toxins), two enrobe diode mini paddles are also be placed close to your nearest lymph nodes. All Lipolaser sessions are relaxing, painless and completely non-invasive. Immediately following your Lipolaser treatment, your 10 minute K-1 vibration machine session begins. Using the K-1 vibration machine improves the before and after results of the Lipolaser procedure by helping your body process the toxins released from your fat cells during the Lipolaser procedure, converting them for energy use. Following your K-1 session you will be measured once again to determine your Lipolaser before and after results.
